A1 - Good Things, Bad People

I know a girl with a broken smile
He's been hurting her for quite a while
But she loves him
She still loves him
I've got a friend with a heart of gold
He loved his wife even when he was told
She's unfaithful
He still faithful

I guess in life you don't always reap what you saw
It doesn't make much sense but I'd like to know

Why do good things happen to bad people
Bad people
Don't deserve it
Why do bad thing happen too good people
Good people
Don't deserve it

I've seen a man working all his life
Lose his job to a new device
Still he's grateful
Yeah, he's grateful
I know somebody who's got all they need
Who built an empire stepping on the weak
Still ungrateful
So ungrateful

I guess in life you don't always reap what you saw
It doesn't make much sense but I'd like to know

Why do good things happen to bad people
Bad people
Don't deserve it
Why do bad thing happen too good people
Good people
Don't deserve it

Who decides this?
It seems so unfair
Is there somebody
Somebody out there?
Who decides this?
Does anyone care
Is there somebody
Somebody out there? [4X]

Why do good things happen to bad people
Bad people
Don't deserve it
Why do bad thing happen too good people
Good people
Don't deserve it

A1 - In Love and I Hate It

You are like the ocean
And your drowning knee
The sunrise casting shadow
As far as I can see
'Cause you're so bitter sweet

[Chorus]
I'm in love, I'm in love
And I hate it
I'm in love and so overrated
What am I supposed to do
I wanna be with you

I'm in love, I'm in love
I can take it
I'm in love and feel so naked
What am I supposed to do
I wanna be with you

I'm in love and I hate it
Hate it, hate it [3x]
I'm in love and I hate it
I hate it

Sometimes I feel spineless
I can't stand up straight
And sometimes I'm so stupid
I make the same mistake
But I can walk away

[Repeat Chorus]

It's the agony, It's the extasy
And it's stolen me, And it's killin' me
And it's killin' me

I'm in love, I'm in love

[Repeat Chorus]

I'm in love And I hate it
Hate it

A1 - Waiting for Daylight

I miss your breathing
When sleep doesn't come
I cant help pretending you'll be home
I cant face the future
Now your in the past
Seems all of the best things never last

[Chorus]
But there's no use in crying
There's no point denying
I'm waiting for daylight to come

They say I get through this
But how could they know
How can I make it on my own
Your here in the shadow
You cover my heart
And I hear you whisper in the dark

[Chorus]
But there's no use in crying
There's no point denying
I'm waiting for daylight to come

I don't wanna let you go
But in time
But in time
I'll wake up for all I know
I'll be fine

[Chorus]
But there's no use in crying
There's no point denying
I'm waiting for daylight to come

A1 - Take You Home

[Christian:]
I'm gonna take this chance to be up all night
I wanna fix this up just the way you like
I wanna shake the weight of the world, that's right
I gotta make the most of this old street light

And if you think I'm talking too much just tell me
If you need to change the pace then help me
We've got ten more minutes to go
I said, we've got ten more minutes before we go

[Mark: (Ref)]
There's no regrets
At least not yet
And it's safe to go
I heard it on the radio
So I'll take you home

[Ben:]
You know I need somebody to love me yes
You know that I won’t settle for second best
We gotta live like that ignore the rest
So if they all go east, then we'll go west
You know I dance my life to a different beat
And I like it here on the edge my seat
And now the stage is set, and we're alone
Where we end up later, we don’t know

[Ref]

I take you home
Well, I take you home

And if it gets to crowded then may I suggest
That when they all go east then we'll go west
C'mon lets go, go, go
And where we end up, we dont know!

There's no regrets
At least not yet
And it's safe to go
And I heard it on the radio'

[Ref]

A1 - The Life That Could Have Been

I meet someone the other day
It's good to see her face again
She's the one who got a way
Way back when

Showed photos of her family
Soon to marry mum to be
She used to want all that with me
And she smiled and I laughed

[Chorus:]
Then I imagined if I didn't take that fight
What would my world be like?
Would I be standing at the altar by her side?
Would her child be mine?
And I think that I've just seen
The Life That Could Have Been

She's happy now and that's a fact
And who am I to mess with that
So I won't try to get her back
In a way I'm glad

'Cause that was then and this is now
Still I can't help but think about
All the things that I'm without
But I wave the white flag

[Chorus:]
Then I imagined if I didn't take that fight
What would my world be like?
Would I be standing at the altar by her side?
Would her child be mine?
And I think that I've just seen
The Life That Could Have Been

And as she was walking away
I thought I saw her
Turn back and hesitate
Look at me as if to say

I imagined if you didn't take that fight
What would my world be like?
Would you be standing at the altar by my side?
What would our child look like?

[Chorus:]
Then I imagined if I didn't take that fight
What would my world be like?
Would I be standing at the altar by her side?
Would her child be mine?
And it's the strangest thing
And I think that I've just seen
The Life That Could Have Been

The Life That Should Have Been

A1 - Talking about a revolution

Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around wait for a promotion

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

so you better run, run, run...
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run...

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution

A1 - You're not in love

[Ben:] The sun is shining, the rain comes in
And i don't know what to do, no...
I don't know where i'm going or where i've been cos my mind is hooked on you.
Words escape me and tears come down and day slowly turns to night
And i think of all we could have been,
I gave up the fight.

[Ben:] And you don't
([All:] you don't),
Understand
([All:] understand),
Girl you make me all i am,
But i'm starting to see, just how hard it can be, on my own
And i'm sorry baby won't you come home?

[Ben:] You said that we'd been defeated
But oh i am so addicted
Your love is all i need to get by.
You told me that you and i would always be true
But you lied
And you're not in love and i don't know why
No, i don't know why

[Paul:] The days around me and years roll on
And i still don't think it's right
([All:] don't think it's right)
And i have so much love to give,
But i gave up the fight.

[Paul:] Now you don't
([All:] you don't),
Understand
([All:] understand),
Girl you made me all i am,
Now i've started to see, just how hard it could be, on my own
And i'm sorry baby won't you come home?

[Ben:] You said that we'd been defeated,
But oh i am so addicted,
Your love is all i need to get by.
You told me that you and i would always be true,
But you lied
And you're not in love and i don't know why.

[Paul:] No i can't make it alone
([Ben:] i don't know why)
And i can't be here without you in my life
And so i ask you, why, you still deny?

[Ben:] And you don't,
Understand,
Girl you made me all i am
But i'm starting to see, just how hard it can be, on my own
And i'm sorry baby won't you come home?

[All:] You said that we'd been defeated,
But oh i am so addicted,
Your love is all i need to get by.
You told me that you and i would always be true,
But you lied
And you're not in love and i don't know why.

[Ben:] No, i don't know why,
Just tell me why,
Please tell me why.

A1 - Bad Enough

Baby come back, hear me out
Is there any way to reach you now
Sitting on the edge thinking out loud
Maybe there is something that you know
Something that only you know

Crying out loud, I wanna do good
I do it all for you if I could
The way it looks now from where I stood
Maybe there is something that you know
Something that only you know

But

Running away isn't the way
Cause if you want it bad enough
Get it if you dont give up
Running away isn't the way
Cause if you want it bad enough
Get it if you dont give up
If you want it bad enough
If you want it bad
If you want it bad
If you want it bad enough
If you want it bad
If you want it bad
If you want it bad enough

Take a little time think this through
See it from another point of view
Putting myself in any ol shoes

Maybe there is somewhere that you go
Somewhere that only you go

Trying to move on all the way down
Waiting for your head to hit the ground
Whatever you're in we'll figure it out
Maybe there is something I do now
That wherever you go

Running away isn't the way
Cause if you want it bad enough
Get it if you dont give up
Running away isn't the way
Cause if you want it bad enough
Get it if you dont give up
If you want it bad enough
If you want it bad
If you want it bad
If you want it bad enough
If you want it bad
If you want it bad
If you want it bad enough

All in your head
All in your head
It's all in your head
You can fight this illusion
All in your head
All in your head
You can fight this illusion
All in your head
It's all in your head
You can fight this illusion
All in your head
It's all in your head
You can fight this illusion

Running away isn't the way
Cause if you want it bad enough
Get it if you dont give up
Running away isn't the way
Cause if you want it bad enough
Get it if you dont give up
If you want it bad enough
If you want it bad
If you want it bad
If you want it bad enough
If you want it bad
If you want it bad
If you want it bad enough

A1 - Don't Wanna Loose You Again

I can feel that the wheel is in motion
And there's life in this old timer yet
Looking back there's a new reflection
Now I know what you give is what you get

In the end it's all or nothing
And I feel I'm ready now
So I try to be the answer
‘Cause I don't wanna lose you again

Now I bet that your ears are burning
With three words on the tip of my tongue
I just hope that your heart is open
So that I can undo what I've done

In the end it's all or nothing
And I feel I'm ready now
So I try to be the answer
‘Cause I don't wanna lose you again

Like a star, it's so hard to reach you
Not enough just to call you a friend
And I know that I don't deserve you
But I don't wanna lose you again, oh

In the end it's all or nothing
And I feel I'm ready now
So I try to be the answer
‘Cause I don't wanna lose you again
No, I don't wanna lose you again

A1 - Same Old Brand New You

I can still remember the time you were there
When I needed to hold you, feel you
Everytime I ask you to find a new way
You lie a new way
Is it gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

You'll change
You'll never change
You're never never gonna keep your promises x 2

You said you'd change
But I'm afraid
It's something I won't live to see
It's seems so strange
That sometimes fate
Can appear to be so real
And yet turn out to be a fantasy

Same old line, one more time
Say you're gonna be, there for me
Say you'll change, change your ways
Never gonna keep your promises
Same old game ( Ben - You know it doesn't turn me on)
Brand new day (Ben - You're singing that same old song)
No more lies (Ben - If you don't wanna find me gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

Another night, another day
What can I say
You're still the same old brand new you
You break your promises in two
What can I do
When you're the same old brand new you

You'll change, you'll never change
You're never never gonna keep your promises x 2

Because of you, I guess we're through
Is this the way it has to be
I've been a fool (Ben - I've been a fool)
A fool for you (Ben - A fool for you)
But I've got better things to do than let you walk all over me

Same old line, one more time
Say you're gonna be, there for me
Say you'll change, change your ways
Never gonna keep your promises
Same old game (Ben - You know it doesn't turn me on)
Brand new day (Ben - You're singing that same old song)
No more lies (Ben - If you don't wanna find me gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

Another night, another day
What can I say
You're still the same old brand new you
You break your promises in two
What can I do
When you're the same old brand new you

I can still remember the time you were there
When I needed to hold you, feel you
Everytime I ask you to find a new way
You lie a new way
Is it gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

(Instrumental break)

You'll change, you'll never change
You're never never gonna keep your promises x 2

Same old line, one more time
Say you're gonna be, there for me
Say you'll change, change your ways
Never gonna keep your promises
Same old game (Ben - You know it doesn't turn me on)
Brand new day (Ben - You're singing that same old song)
No more lies (Ben - If you don't wanna find me gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

Another night, another day
What can I say
You're still the same old brand new you
You break your promises in two
What can I do
When you're still the same old brand new you

Another night, another day
What I can say
You break your promises in two
What can I do

Another night, another day
What I can say
You're still the same old brand new you
You break your promises in two
What can I do
You're still the same old brand new you

A1 - She Doesn't See Me

artist/band a1
Song title she doesn't see me
Album the a-list
Submitted by jess

Lyrics when she passes me by, she's a ray of light
Like the first drop of sun from the sky
And i know she's a queen, who deserves a king
But i'm not a king
And she doesn't see me

When she dances she moves me to a smile
I see everything near her shine
Ther is a grace in her ways i can't contain
I don't have that grace
So she doesn't see me

And the closer i get i can't help but hide
So ashamed of my body and voice
Ther are boundaries we pass in spite of the war
But our own, we can't seem to cross

He has a way that surrounds him, so delicate
With a glory that reigns in his life
He is all so so much that he is not
But these things they don't see
And she doesn't see me

There are things we can change if we just choose to fight
But the walls of injustice are high

When she passes me by, she's a ray of light
Like the first drop of sun from the sky

And i know shes a queen who deserves a king
Someone other than me
Different from me
She doesn't see me
She doesn't see me

A1 - Take On Me

Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shine away
I'm coming for your love okay

Take on me (take on me)
Take on me (take on me)
I'll be gone in a day or two

So needless to say at odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It's so much better to be safe than sorry

Take on me (take on me)
Take on me (take on me)
I'll be gone in a day or two

Oh, things that you say
Yeah, is it life or just a play
My worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You shine away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me (take on me)
Take on me (take on me)
I'll be gone in a day or two

Take on me (take on me)
Take on me (take on me)
I'll be gone in a day or two

Take on me
Take on me

A1 - Power Of desire

[Chris:] Fallin' for a fantasy
I threw away my destiny
I don't know where to stop
Feelin' broken-hearted

I'll think about it
And to see my eyes
To cry to dry
for I've forced
All this time [2x]
With you, ooh...

[Chris:] I was tempted by the power of desire
I surrendered to the calling of the fire
There's nothing I could ever say
to change the things I did
But I promise you
I'll make it up to you

[Mark:] Take me back to yesterday
When all our dreams were swept away
I'd never crossed that line
I changed across of time

I could never live this way
If only you'd forgive
We'll start again
With all my heart
All my love for you [2x]

[Mark & Chris: (chorus)]

[break]

[Mark & Chris:] No surrender no return
If only you believe that...

[Chris & Mark: (chorus)]

A1 - Livin' The Dream

Where have you been all my life?
Where have you come from?
Is this your first time too?
It's like i've known you in some other lifetime.
We're part of the great plan.
Like two stars the shine.

[pre-chorus:]
I stood here watchin', while it only ever happened to friends.
Now i don't have to pretend.

[chorus:]
I can't believe we're living the dream
We're diggin that scene.
We finally made it through the fire.
Something 'bout you blows me away, like night over day.
Kissing the loneliness goodbye yeah.

True love, true love.
Baby could this be.
True love, true love happenin' to me?

I've been waiting for you all my life
Anticipating with ever dream ever night.
Destiny's moment we all share in time love is the message.
And i know i've got mine?

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]

True love, true love.
Baby could this be.
True love, true love happenin' to me?
True love, true love.
Baby could this be.
True love, true love happenin' to me?

[chorus]

[outro:]
True love, true love. baby could this be.
True love, true love happenin' to me?
True love, true love. baby could this be.
True love, true love happenin' to me?

[Mark:] Sunday football I got boot off the pitch
Some people gamble as a way to get rich
I gotta find a better way to invest in zeroes, oh

And now it's 2:59 and I'm still waiting for the train to go home

[Chris:] I've been thinking 'bout the meaning of life
Plenty of butter but I don't have a knife
Sure beats the hell outta waiting for a ticket to Rino

I wonder why I havent been on it yet
I'm silly waiting for a part in a Tarrantino

[Ben:] (Oh, oh, oh, oh) No, no, no, no
I'm not a saver I'm a spender (Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
I'm a 1 weekender

A1 - If You were my girl

If you were my girl (2X)
Aching to see the sun again
Aching to see your eyes to see how they shine
They make this world a better place
Aching to see you smile again
Aching to hear you laugh and say I'm not dreaming
When you caress my hair
Your touch so warm and gentle baby
Then I can see true happiness at last
If you would be my girlfriend
Then I would be in heaven
Then I could do anything
I'd stand on my head and sing
If you were my girl
If you would be my girlfriend
Then I would be in heaven
Then I could do anything
I'd stand on my head and sing
If you were my girl
I wish I could feel your lips right now
Wish I could let my hand
Glide through your hair
I wish I could softly hold your hand
I wish I could tell you every dream
I wish I could tell you everything that I feel
I wish I could tell you that
I need you here to kiss me baby
If only I could get my self to say
Hey, Hey
If you would be my girlfriend
Then I would be in heaven
Then I could do anything
I'd stand on my head and sing
If you were my girl
If you would be my girlfriend
Then I would be in heaven
Then I could do anything
I'd stand on my head and sing
If you were my girl
There are so many beautiful girls in the world
But there's only one girl that I want
And I've chosen today that I can't ever stay
Unless I can stay here with you
Oooooh wooah wooah
If you would be my girlfriend

If you were my girl (6X)

A1 - Six Feet Under

I'm mad, still mad about you
It's too bad, I'm bad without you

Don't touch
you've already said too much
Pick and collect your stuff
T-shirts and your toothbrush
Cos that's all you've got

You can't keep what you're throwing away
Our love is six feet underground
I can't speak cause it's not easy to say
Our love is six feet underground

Lovesick, but I'm still sick of you
I quit, was too quick to love you

Don't touch
you've already said too much
Come back and collect your stuff
T-shirts and your toothbrush
Cos that's all you've got

You can't keep what you're throwing away
Our love is six feet underground
I can't speak cause it's not easy to say
Our love is six feet underground

There's no way back this time
So we gotta leave it all behind

Oh, oh, ohh
oh, oh, ohhh
Oh, oh, ohh
oh, oh, ohhh

You can't keep what you're throwing away
Our love is six feet underground
I can't speak cause it's not easy to say
Our love is six feet underground

You can't keep what you're throwing away
(there's no way back this time)
Our love is six feet underground
I can't speak cause it's not easy to see
(So we gotta leave it all behind)
Our love is six feet underground

You can't keep what you're throwing away
(there's no way back this time)
Our love is six feet underground
I can't speak cause it's not easy to see
(So we gotta leave it all behind)
Our love is six feet underground

A1 - She Didn't See Me

When she passes me by, she's a ray of light.
Like the first drop of sun from the sky.
And i know she's a queen who deserves a king.
But i'm not a king, and she doesn't see me.

When she dances, she moves me to a smile.
I see everything near her shine.
There is a grace in her ways i can't contain.
I don't have the grace, she doesn't see me.

And the closer i get i can't help but hide.
So ashamed of my body and voice.
There are boundaries we pass in spite of war.
But our own, we can't seem to cross.

He has a way that surrounds him, so delicate.
With a glory the reigns in his life, he is also so much that he is not.
These things, they don't see and she doesn't see me.

There are things we can change, if we just choose to fight
But the walls of in justice are high.

When she passes me by, she's a ray of light.
Like the first drop of sun from the sky.
And i know she's a queen, who deserves a king.

Someone other than me, she doesn't see me,
She doesn't see me.

A1 - The Things We Never Did

the things we never did


You and me,
We sit and talk of friendship then i ask,
If you can see
If we could be together, forever

I see the light die in your eyes
Coz you're scared you'll hurt
So you don't want to try

Well take a chance and come home with me
You could stay for eternity
If you try then at least you'll see
Then you'll never regret the things we never did

You turn to me, i see your eyes, and somehow they cease to shine
You smile at me yet i can see, you don't think we can make it

You see the light die in my eyes, coz i'm scared to lose you
I wish you would try

Well take a chance and come home with me
You could stay for eternity
If you try then at least you'll see
Then you'll never regret the things we never did

I see the light die in your eyes
Coz you're scared you'll hurt
So you don't wanna try

Well take a chance and come home with me
You could stay for eternity
If you try then at least you'll see
Then you'll never regret the things we never did
