Who’s your guru now?
You only wanted the truth
You’re only looking for reason
You chop and change with the season But won’t you tell me
Who’s your guru now?
You only want to belong
You only want to believe
And so you just tag along
But won’t you tell me
Who’s your guru now?
Who’s your guru now?
Who do you turn to when the chips are down? Who’s your guru now? Who’s your guru now?
And you just want to show you’ve got some kind of soul
And you try so hard to believe it
but it’s never enough so please show me the love, come on!
Who’s your guru now? Who’s your guru now!
Et maintenant qui est votre guru?

Oh Jen
There was a time your star shone above me
I couldn’t find the way to make you love me
Oh Jen, Now and then, I still get the feeling
Oh Jen – It’s good to see you again
Oh Jen – I hope that we can be friends
Did you give me a sign? If you did then please forgive me I was so blind, too wrapped up in myself
Oh Jen, Now and then, I still get the feeling
Oh Jen – It’s good to see you again
Oh Jen – I hope that we can be friends
And al that wasted time you know we could have had it all I spent a lifetime waiting for your star to fall
(but of course it never did)
Oh Jen, Now and then, I still get the feeling
Oh Jen – It’s good to see you again
Oh Jen – I hope that we can be friends
Or is this where the story ends?

Through the looking glass
And through the looking glass, what do I see?
Sometimes I see nothing at all, sometimes the other side of me And if I seem to stare please ignore me
Cos I’m far away somewhere just treading water
And if you think you know me well, Sometimes I don’t even know myself
My reflection only tells you that I’m here But disturb the surface and I disappear
And through the looking glass, what do I see?
Sometimes I see nothing at all, sometimes the other side of me And if I seem to stare please ignore me
Cos I’m far away somewhere just treading water
And if you think you know me well,
Sometimes I don’t even know myself
My reaction only lets you get so near
But scratch the surface and I’m out of here - I disappear
And through the looking glass, what do I see?
Sometimes I see nothing at all, sometimes the other side of me And if I seem to stare please ignore me
Cos I’m far away somewhere just treading water
Through the looking glass what do I see...?

No More Love Songs

No more love songs (except for this one)
So what did you think, I’d write a song for you To help me get over feeling so blue
So what did you think, what did you
I’m writing it down, it’s all I can
To rid myself of the bitter thought
So what did you think, well think again
Cos there will be no more love songs
I don’t want you back now that you’ve gone
I’m not in love and there’ll be no more love songs
I’ve seen it before, it came as no surprise I’ve seen that look of resignation in your eyes But what did you think, what did you think
That there would be no more love songs
I don’t want you back now that you’ve gone
I’m not in love and there’ll be no more love songs Except for this one...except for this one
Now that you’re gone
But with every word I write it brings it back again
And each time I try to stop my tears from falling down like rain
They obscure the words but never hide the pain

Hurt Me
It was the last thing on my mind
To treat you so unkind
It was the last thing on my mind
Leaving you behind
I want you to hurt me, want you to hurt me So I can feel better now
But I know that you don’t know how
If I could turn back the hands of time I’d turn them back to ten past nine When I got that train out of here Without saying goodbye
I want you to hurt me, want you to hurt me So I can feel better now
But I know that you don’t know how
So how am I supposed to feel better When you haven’t got the decency to Be cruel to me - You can’t even lie
about myself
hurt me
to me
I want you to hurt me, want you to hurt me So I can feel better now
But I know that you don’t know how
Hey yeah... That was the last thing on my mind.

Rivers Of Wine

Rivers of Wine
I know I told you that I wanted more time
But I just ended up drinking more wine
To drown my sorrows, all my tomorrows are the same as today
The only lovin’ thing that touches my lips
Is the wine I drink in comforting sips
To help me get through another day without you in my life
And every day I see the riverbank wind Through the neglected wilderness of my mind The bloody water leaves a stain on my pride As I float down these rivers of wine
And now I stare here at this flickering screen
The movie’s over but I missed the last scene
Too drunk to think straight, too tired – it’s too late And I’m too far gone
And every day I see the riverbank wind Through the neglected wilderness of my mind The bloody water leaves a stain on my pride As I float down these rivers of wine
That all become mine, but what do I find at the end of the line?
These rivers of wine (that all become mine)

It's Not What You Know

It’s not what you know...
Well I’m outside the club and they won’t let me in
It seems I ain’t got the right kind of hole in my jeans It’s not what you know, it’s who you know
Well I see you sitting like a V.I.P.
And I’m wondering why it can’t be me
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know
And all that wasted time I spent trying to keep up with the scene
I’m seeing the world through open eyes and it’s not what it seems...
And all the beautiful people pass me by and I can’t see where they go
So if you want to get ahead in the big wide world it’s not what you know....
Well I’m on the outside always looking in
It seems I’ll never get to know what it’s like to win It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.
And all the beautiful people pass me by and I can’t go where they go
So if you want to get ahead in the big wide world it’s not what you know....

The Waterboatman’s Song
I’ve been working here now, both man and boy
Over thirty years I’ve seen the pain and I’ve seen the joy People say it’s an easy job but what do they know?
When you row your boat downstream there’s just one way to go
When you walk on water the only thing you get
Is a sense of righteousness and the soles of your feet get wet
But the times have changed and even I can see
There’s more ways to get a cross than to put your faith in me Some would say it’s betrayal but I don’t think that way
You gotta find your own solution, that’s what they preach today
When you walk on water the only thing you get
Is a sense of righteousness and the soles of your I’ve been treading water for such a long time now I used to stand on the surface but I’ve forgotten
But I’ll always believe in humanity
And I’ll always hand down what was taught to me And I don’t care if you criticize me...crucify me
And when you walk on water the only thing you get Is a sense of righteousness and the soles of your I’ve been treading water for such a long time now I used to stand on the surface but I’ve forgotten
feet get wet
how
feet get wet
how

Yeah You!
Tell me, am I wasting my time
Cos I can’t get you out of my mind And all the things that you said Fly like butterflies inside my head So tell me am I wasting my time...
I gotta make you want it but you can’t get on it yet If I want you to see it, gotta make you feel it....
Because I love you, yes I love you - Yeah you! I said I love you, yes I love you - Yeah you!
Tell me I’m doing just fine
And I won’t let no-one say otherwise Cos I gotta get you into my life Yeah I gotta get you into my life
So tell me that I’m doing just fine...
I gotta make you want it bu you can’t get on it yet If I want you to need it, gotta make you see it....
Because I love you, yes I love you - Yeah you!
I said I love you, you know I love you - Yeah you!

Let me Down Easy
Baby, let me down easy cos I don’t think I can stand the pain Baby, let me down easy, I don’t think I can face it again
I always went for the hurting kind but I thought it was different this time - but if you’ve made up your mind
Oh let me down easy – oh don’t let me down
Baby I know that you’re leaving but it doesn’t have to be this way
Baby that loving feeling just got up and walked away
I always went for the hurting kind but I thought it was different this time - but if you’ve made up your mind Let me down easy
Oh let me down easy – oh don’t let me down

Bring it home
I wanna bring it home, the love I took away from you
I wanna put it right, there’s nothing more that I can do
I wanna take you high, for a while
I wanna see you smile, I wanna see that smile
Put it right back in its place, to lighten up your face I wanna bring it home, I wanna bring it home
I’m gonna make it good, I’m gonna make it better yeah
I’m gonna shout it out, so that all the world can hear me now
I wanna take you high, for a while
I wanna see you smile, I wanna see that smile
Put it right back in its place, to lighten up your face I wanna bring it home, I wanna bring it home
But I’m just a singer, singing his song
It’ll take a whole lot more to right the wrong So I need you to sing along

Skirt
The last thing I saw as you walked through the door Was the back of your skirt
Which said to me more than you’ll ever know
More than I’ll ever show
And the last time you held me was only to tell me That this wasn’t working and so you were leaving
That summer’s day, into the sunlight you slipped away
Now everything I see only reminds me that
Once we were happy with only each other to share things with But I guess something had to give
Now I sit on the staircase, the very same place where you Left me that morning with that look on your face
That still haunts me know
Keeps coming back somehow
And I skirt round the reason you gave me for leaving And try to believe you’ll come back through the door And forgive me for how I let you go before
Now everything I see only reminds me that
Once we were happy with only each other to share things with But I guess something had to give
The last thing I saw as you walked through the door Was the back of your skirt
Which said to me more than you’ll ever know
More than I’ll ever show,
And you’ll never know
