My Shoes These are my Shoes to break in You can t take this away from me My Shoes to break in I walk my way in my own time My Shoes to break in You can t take this away from me You live your life and I live mine I asked a pilgrim to walk for me It didn t save my soul Maybe souls are meant to be saved on our own Mama told me not to play with fire My fingers still got burned Maybe lessons we ve been told ain t no lessons learned If you break in my boots They ll never be on straight So baby, let me live my life the way I think it s right Chorus So many people never did Listen to your good advice Maybe it s not possible To protect someone from life Daddy told me to be careful Not to fall for the wrong man Maybe we all need to fall To learn how to get up again You won t recover if I take on your cure And if you re gonna live my life who s gonna live yours? Chorus
Love Manual How many times love got me in trouble How many times love brought me down How many times love didn t bother When I was blue, but I know now Love is easy if you know the Love Manual and it goes like this Don t love someone who loves somebody else Nononono, nonono Don t love someone who loves somebody else Nononono, nonono And love will hurt you less How many times Love gave you fever And no doctor knows, oh, remedy How many times Love made you feel it A broken heart is a misery Love is no risk Just follow the Love Manual and it goes like this Don t love someone who loves somebody else Nononono, nonono Don t love someone who loves somebody else Nononono, nonono And love will hurt you less
I n CHINA Silver streets and diamond rain in China Somehow have stolen the heart of my lover The scents of the Orient, the passion you feel again, temptingly The glamour of Shanghai, the glance of mystic eyes took you away from me Does the sun there seem to be brighter? Are you gonna come home or will you stay in China? And do I cross your mind when you re strolling along the Bond? And do you hear me crying standing on the shore? Over there over there in China Dragon boats and cherry lips in China somehow have cast a spell on my lover The longer you hesitate the harder it s to wait, where are you going to? Reading your letter makes it no better, ain t closer to you Does the sun there seem to be brighter? Are you gonna come home or will you stay in China? And do I cross your mind when you re strolling along the Bond? And do you hear me crying standing on the shore? Over there over there in China I can feel it I m losing what I used to have You re disappearing I can t hold you back And do I cross your mind when you re strolling along the Bond? And do you hear me crying standing on the shore? Over there over there in China
Burn Your Boats You ve sailed the seas Fleeing from the pain you feel restlessly Mountains moved to bury all the grief inside losing roots Bound to the bow, on the run for so long now it s time to come home So baby burn your boats Take in sail, it s time to land, come on Burn your boats Love deserves a second chance Burn your boats Commit them to the flames So burn down your boats Yeah, I see How far you d go to understand your story Oh, I know You re desperately tryin to let go Don t try so hard There is no way to run from who you really are Chorus You ve sailed to the end of the world to find your place on earth but you could sail to the moon, even beyond the opposite of wrong is still wrong Chorus
Hand me the Sun Album: Soul I see you waiting in the streets You are soaked with rain I kiss you right where it hurts I kiss away the pain I ve let you fall to keep you strong but I was always there So baby, dry your tears, don t be afraid Don t be scared Hand me the sun to lighten the day No need to run when you can fly away Hand me the moon to sweeten the night No need to find me when I am by your side In this world that seems so cold I will keep you warm I m gonna give you room to grow A shelter from the storm We can talk until the sun goes down and we forget our fears Baby, in your pain you re not alone I am here Hand me the sun to lighten the day No need to run when you can fly away Hand me the moon to sweeten the night No need to find me when I am by your side Hand me the time so that I can slow it down No need to search for what you ve already found Hand me the river to learn from its flow to throw everything in it and let it go
Blame Yourself You keep tellin me that your life is unfair Whenever you need help, nobody s there You say you wanna change yourself but you just don t dare You treat your own life as a backstreet affair You claim it s no wonder you never do well Your daddy and your mommy have sent you through hell They put you under a curse and ruined your way They turned you in what you are, there s no escape I m so, so tired of listening to the stories of your misery I m so, so sick of your gloomy philosophy Cuz you never, you never do well And you never, you never blame yourself You re looking for a job for more than two years But everything is more urgent than your career You say it s just because people don t like your face And that your home town is such a bad place I m so, so tired of listening to the stories of your misery I m so, so sick of your gloomy philosophy Cuz you never, you never do well And you never, you never blame yourself When will you see your own responsability And when will you realize that your unhappiness is the price you pay Cuz you never, you never do well And you never, you never blame yourself
