What The Deuce…? Lyrics

OUT OF THE SHADOWS (Instrumental)
(Greaves)

==================================

FORSAKEN
(Rennie)

Well here the nightmare ends
And yeah, I’m happy we can still be friends
So sorry I spat in your face
But my heart and mind were out of place
And now my hands are tied

But if I’m forced to think of it
I’m in a place I’ll never fit
I still want you but I don’t need you
Something I can still admit
Why should it be denied?

If now it all ends well
And we make it through our hell
With time to create
With paths for our separate ways
Why should be denied?

Cos if I’m forced to think of it
I’m in a place I’ll never fit
I still want you but I don’t need you
Something I can still admit
But now my hands are ties
Why should I be denied?

(Chorus)
I’ve been forsaken
All this time mistaken
I’ve been forsaken
All this time mistaken

And one day if we have the chance
To decide on our deliverance
Without quarrel, pain or sorrow
Take my hand and I’ll lead the dance
Why should I be denied?

Cos if I’m forced to think of it
I’m in a place I’ll never fit
I still want you but I don’t need you
Something I can still admit
Why should it be denied?
Cos now my hands are tied, they’re tied

(Chorus)

And one day if we have the chance
To decide on our deliverance
Without quarrel, pain or sorrow
Take my hand and I’ll lead the dance
But now my hands are tied

Cos when I’m force to think of it
I’m in a place I’ll never fit
I still want you but I don’t need you
Something I can still admit
But now my hands are tied

(Chorus)

==============================================

HOMEBOUND
(Greaves/ Rennie)

Six o’clock on a Friday morning
I’m wide awake, while the world is still dawning
Thinking back, over good times and bad
While the good stay in my mind
I try to block out the sad

CHORUS
You’re on the first train out of here
How can I cope without you near
Though the sun shines and the sky is still blue
So is my heart without you
You’re homebound

Here I sit with my last cigarette
Where did you go? You found another love, I bet
I wonder lonely from street to street
What am I gonna do?
How will I make ends meet?

CHORUS

But always look on the bright side
Your life has always been a train ride
Round and round and off the rails
Homebound

But what can you do?
Can you find it in your heart to put things right?
Instead of tearing them apart
What can you do
To build the bridge between us
Homebound

CHROMOSOME
(Greaves / Rennie)

People say there’s something strange about me
Something they can’t put their finger on
Something missing in my DNA
Yeah OK, so I’m a little freaky
And I maybe got a funny walk
But that’s the way I’m mean to be

I’m stupid, you’re clever
I’m not like you, you’re better
But it’s not affecting me

(Chorus)
I can feel it in my bones
Creeping in my chromosome
Won’t everybody leave me alone?
I’m not bright
But I’m alright

So if you notice that I’m acting strangely
There’s no need for you to stand and stare
I’ve got a quarrel with my missing gene
I’m pretty sure I’ll manage
Pretty sure that I’ll be OK
You all don’t have to be so mean

I’m stupid, you’re clever
I’m not like you, you’re better
But it’s not affecting me

(Chorus)

I’m stupid, you’re clever
I’m not like you, you’re better
But it’s not affecting me

(Chorus)

==========================================

THE RUSH
(Rennie)

I’ve got a rage and it only grows and grows
I’m afraid that this feeling never slows
I never let adrenaline go to waste
So you better make haste if you want a taste

(Chorus)

I can feel it building up inside
It’s like a rollercoaster ride
Cos the feel and the thrill are all I know
White knuckle, knees buckle let’s go!
Here comes the rush!
Here comes the rush!

Well if you wanna do it
I can get to it
Hold my hand and I’ll drag you through it
You got something to say? Get it out of the way
But you don’t get nothing unless you’re willing to pay

(Chorus)

So if you feel that my rage is much to real
Get out the kitchen, it’s no big deal
I never slow down for man, nor beast
I got an appetite and you’re my feast

(Chorus)

I’ve got a rage and it only grows and grows
I’m afraid that this feeling never slows
I never let adrenaline go to waste
So you better make haste if you want a taste

(Chorus)

=======================================

WHATEVER
(Greaves / Rennie)

I can see for miles, the rooftops of this town
If I could see your smile, you’d be smiling at me
Break away right now, running mental
Don’t bring me down

The summer lights, burning in my heart
Keeps my nights, oh so sleepless
Turn around, turn and face me
Just say you might

CHORUS
Oh, you just say, whatever
That attitude’s not clever
It’s to you, that I’m tethered
Oh, whatever

I can’t stand alone, I can hardly stand at all
It’s so hard on your own, unless you’re heartless
Well I could lend you mine, but you’ve had millions
Just see in time

CHORUS

Whenever I describe
How I feel inside
I get the same reply
Whatever does it take
How do I get my breaks? 

CHORUS

===========================================

STRUTTER
(Stanley / Simmons)

I know a thing or two about her
I know she’ll only make you cry
She’ll let you walk the streets beside her
But when she wants, she’ll pass you by

(Chorus)
Everybody says she’s looking good
And the lady knows it’s understood
Strutter!

She wears her satins like a lady
She gets her way just like a child
You take her home,
And she says “maybe, baby”
She takes you down, and drives you wild

(Chorus)

I know a thing or two about her
I know she’ll only make you cry
She’ll let you walk the streets beside her
But when she wants, she’ll pass you by

(Chorus)

========================================

ALTERED STATE (Instrumental)
(Greaves) 

========================================

INTO THE SHADOWS
(Greaves / Rennie)

You once told me I’m no hero
And I don’t have the strength I need
To hold this precious thing together
Don’t be deceived

I watch you walking away
You know I’ll catch you up again
So come on, delight me
Don’t be so frightened

In the darkest rivers of my heart
I never could admit defeat
I hold this precious thing together
It grew from the smallest seed

(Chorus)
I’m gonna stand up and be counted
Stand up for you
You’re counted too
I’m gonna get right up and shout it
I’ll do you proud
So shout it loud

It’s not easy, you know it’s true
I gave you all my time
But in the shadows there is hope
I kept it deep inside

(Chorus)

I watch you walking away
You know I’ll catch you up again
So come on, delight me
Don’t be so frightened

So if you desert me now
Why do I pretend that all is fine?
I watch you as you walk away
Through the dark I’ll shine

In the darkest rivers of my heart
I never could admit defeat
I keep this thing alive forever
It grew from the smallest seed

It’s not easy, you know it’s true
I gave you all my time
But in the shadows there is hope
I kept it deep inside

I never had the courage or conviction
I never had the solace in my heart
All my dreams have fallen by the wayside
Every plan I made has come apart

When I take my time to think it over
When I look at what I could have been
Try to keep it all in perspective
But my senses never were too keen

Even in the shadows, there is hope
