SINGLES

    IDENTIFY

Your eyes they send me to eternity,
Your heart may cast me down to hell.
I'm gone but lately it's your love,
It's condemnation enough.

Identify, please identify.
If it's me you want standing by your side.
Identify.
These tears of mine,
Am I lonely or am I just alive?
And let time to say
Who and why we stand,
It's test of love.

Your hands were speaking "No".
I felt the movement go,
The ice was breaking so I wonder why that
I'd Identify with you my life
To leave me empty
And see if I'd survive
For every questioned hour,
For every second devoured
You left me wonder you
Into a myth that I missed.

Identify, please identify.
If it's me you want standing by your side.
Identify.
These tears of mine,
Am I lonely or am I just alive?
Am I lonely or am I just alive?
 

       CONTRADICTIONS

Escrito por: Imbruglia / Palombi / Trevisik

Seventeen years in a dead end job,
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god,
Hangin' on tight by a single thread,
Prayin' for a change.

Everything you could have sacrificed,
Your flesh and blood had it's own sweet price,
Baby's all grown up and moved away,
Where's that leave you now?

It was your own decision,
You made my life your mission.

Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we're living in a world of contradiction.

Why is it so hard to be understood?
Doing so much for the common good,
Sorry if I didn't see the truth,
The sadness in your eyes.

I wanted to stand on my own two feet,
Looking at life as a one way street,
Thinking that I had it all worked out,
Where's that leave me now?

We lost communication,
Too many expectations.

Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we're living in a world of contradiction,

Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we're living in a world of contradiction.

Everything I have inside,
I kept it wrapped up tight,
All I know is ... 
All I want to know is...

Somebody tell me,
Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we're living in a world of contradiction,
In a world of contradiction.

Seventeen years in a dead end job,
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god,
Hangin' on tight by a single thread,
Where's that leave you now?

     DIVING IN AT THE DEEP END
 

Escrito por: Imbruglia / Thornalley

Why should it be,
Someone like me,
Could make the same mistakes again?

Havent I learned,
People get hurt,
When they go diving in the deep end,
In the deep end,
In the deep end,
In the deep end.

Thought I was smart,
Controlling the art,
Of turning off my intuition,
Haven't I seen, 
Since I was 14,
That life is all just repetition.

You loose all your whim,
You sink or you swim,
When you go diving in the deep end,
In the deep end,
In the deep end,
In the deep end.

Now it's time to realise,
You dont have to agonise,
You dont have to compromise,
But the one thing you must do is open your eyes,
Your eyes,
Your eyes.

Why should it be,
Someone like me,
Could make the same mistakes again,

Havent I learned,
People get hurt,
When they go diving,
Diving,
Diving,
Diving ... (repeat and fade vocals, then cut.) 

     FRIGHTENED CHILD
 

Escrito por: Imbruglia / Munday / Thornalley

I hear your silent scream,
Deep in your private dream,
Two ways to go from here, 
One way will bring you near,
Fragile wish.

Full moon, no rain, no shame,
That distance still remains,
More shades of grey to come,
We've been through more than one,
Close your eyes.

Like a frightened child,
Fragile in spirit,
Like a wind blowing wild,
No name you can give it,
Like an infantile seeing the light for the very first time.

No tricks, no sleight of hand,
Find somewhere safe to land,
Before your walls were shakin',
But now the whole thing's breakin',
And it makes you feel...

Like a frightened child,
Fragile in spirit,
Like a wind blowing wild,
No name you can give it,
Like an infantile seein' the light for the very first time.

Yes you're right,
What is right?
Yes it's night, I can tell.

Yes it's yours, 
Yes I know,
You're a beautiful stranger to yourself.

     I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU

When the rose.
slaps your face
says your pain is a state of grace (I think that's right)
mirror cracks
image bleeds
he'll touch your desires
but not your needs

I stand at an open window
I see everything there is to see
I-I-I i've been watching you
isn't it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taking you
I-I-I i've been watching you 
isn't it true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you 

party ends
on the floor 
hear a voice 
behind the door
in the dark
you play his games
forget yourself
forget your name

I stand at an open window
I see everything there is to see
I-I-I i've been watching you
isn't it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taking you
I-I-I i've been watching you 
isn't it true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you 

so there you are all dressed in black
walk away and don't look back
but if you must then cast a stone
the light is on but there's nothing and no one home (I think)

cos i've been watching you
isn't it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taIking you
I-I I've been watching you 
isn't it true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you 

I said I i've been watching you 
Isn't it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taking you
I-I-I I've been watching you
isn't true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you down.

     SOMETHING BETTER

I won't say anything
i'm hiding in the pink
if I move will I break the spell
or am I boring you?

I can't feel anything
i'll think whatever you think
you took me riding on the big wheel
so I guess i'm happy now

and i'll stay with you
and i'll lay with you
and i'll always be there
nothing will go wrong
til something better comes along

so now you've swallowed me
come and finish off the rest of me
we'll build a house with cactus lights
spend perfect days and sleepless nights
whatever
(whatever)

and i'll stay with you
and i'll lay with you
and i'll always be there
nothing will go wrong
til something better comes along

and i've lost my fingerprints
and i've lost my sixth sense
but you just don't feel a thing
when the needle's going in

and i'll stay with you
and i'll lay with you
and i'll always be there 
won't go nowhere

and i'll stay with you
(til something better comes along)
and i'll lay with you
(til something better comes along
and I will stay
and I will lay with you
(til something better comes along)
(til something better comes along)
(til something better comes along)
(til something better comes along)

so now you've swallowed me
come and finish off the rest of me 

     SOMETIMES
 

Escrito por: Imbruglia/Palombi/Trevisik

Isn't it like me,
To want to say,
Things I can't explain in simple ways?

Why should I be sane?
Why can't I be crazy?

Sometimes I'm up,
Sometimes I'm down,
I choke on words, and make no sound.
Sometimes.

Sometimes I'm weak,
Sometimes I'm strong,
Living with the fear I don't belong,
Sometimes.

Why is it so hard,
To know myself?
Underneath this skin you'll find, someone else.

Don't be so suprised, 
When you look inside me, 
(inside me)

Sometimes It's black,
Sometimes It's white,
You hide behind electric light,
Sometimes.

Sometimes I swear, 
Sometimes I pray,
Suddenly the guilty dissobey,
Sometimes.

Sometimes I'm weak,
Sometimes I'm strong,
Living with the fear I don't belong,
Sometimes.

Sometimes I stand,
Sometimes I fall,
I throw myself against the wall,
Sometimes.

Sometimes I sink, 
Sometimes I swim,
Tell me why my world is caving in,
Sometimes.

Sometimes it's sweet, 
Sometimes it's raw,
Trying to get so high, like I did before,
Sometimes. 

Sometimes in love,
Sometimes in hate,
Sometimes it's all a big mistake,
Sometimes.
 

     TOMORROW MORNING

Lonely
Lost every part of me
Maybe
Outstayed my company
Walking into sad scenes
Hold me tight
And say goodbye

I've seen behind tomorrow's sky
You'll be my missing alibi
Pull me over backwards
Turn around
And change my mind

Cos I've been thinking
About our world tonight
Slowly sinking
Into my appetite
Tomorrow morning
Are you a friend of mine?

I swear you've left me open
Nowhere to hide this moment
Overcrowded daydreams
We are lost
Or so it seems

Cos I've been thinking
About our world tonight
Slowly sinking
Into my appetite
Tomorrow morning
Are you a friend of mine?

Cos I've been thinking
About our world tonight
Slowly sinking
Into my appetite
Tomorrow morning
Are you a friend of mine?
 

     TROUBLED BY THE WAY WE CAME TOGETHER

From hand to hand you bought and sold
blood is the shield against the weather
became a stone for fear of being melted
trouble from the day we came together

when you recover, from yesterdays low
tue slave to traction of pleasure
i collect the embers as i watch you grow
you left along the way we came together

as you breathe as you breathe it to life
you will leave, you will leave
as you stray as you star far from home
i will believe i will believe

flames of love immerse you
cradle and coerce you
shadows over on the place you play
names of love we mind along the way
seem shallowed by the way we came together

my heart carries on, umm, 
but my head knows better
troubled by the way we came together

as you breathe, as you breathe it to life
you will leave, you will leave
as you stray as you stary far from home
i will believe, i will believe

'cos you are here today, and gone tomorrow
basking in the fields of never never
you wanted today, oh but i wanted forever
troubled byt he way we came together

my heart carries on, umm
but my head knows better
troubled by the way we came together

as you breathe as you breathe it to life
you will leave, you will leave
as you stray, as you stary far from home
i will believe, i will believe

'cos you are here today
and gone tomorrow

The sky has fallen on my yesterday
I watch my moon and blue sun (?) slip away
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall

And it's why you ask me
And it's why i don't know
And i try to pull myself togehter
I don't want to go home (?)

The little girl has lost her way today
The tables turning on the game she plays
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall

And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home

Every time I catch myself, I fall

And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home

And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home

Every time I catch myself, I (slip away) fall . . .
 

     COLD AIR
 

Escrito por: 

Waiting for the last leaf to fall
Can I hear a cry for a dead man to crawl
Asleep like stones in the well
Empty as you leave your dry sea shell

B Sec:
Never seen you came this far
Never thought I'd hope this hard

(Like Air)
Always looking down upon yourself 
(Like Air)
You live 2ft above yourself
(Somewhere)
We will always be in parallel
(Out there)
It's a place without a hope in hell
(Like Air)


Haven't made a sound all week
Tryin to gather up some promises to keep
I watched as the icicles fell
Pinned to the bottom or drowning, its hard to tell

B Sec: 
You may be human after all
Must you build yourself so tall


Trying to wash your trace off my skin
Cover up the footprints I've been making
Easier to cut you cold
You can keep your waste of space, I'm half way home.
