1.
I want to tell you something straight from the heart/A long story don't know where to start/A long story without any end/'bout how I loved you since time began/Together we can have it/ Together we can have it all/Share the Love/Share the Love/You want to be alone well don't you believe it/The money in the world you don't really need it/Got no time for splendid isolation/United Nations?/All my relations/Together we can have it/Together we can have it all/ Share the Love/Share the Love
2.
Do you really know what it is all about?/And would your feelings show if you had no doubt about it?/Underneath it all/Devil's in the details?I want you to know/I want you to know/ The sun don't shine brigter than you/Illuminate what I never knew/Nothing is like it seems it's true/ I know what you're thinking about/Best be sure beyond a shadow of a doubt/Shadow of a Doubt/Always with you/Let's move beyond the shadow of a doubt
3.
Doesn't matter what you do/ I will always be there for you/Doesn't matter what ya say/ I'm beside you every step of the way/ Through the lonely night/I'd like to be here to hold you tight/Until the break of day/I love ya baby every possible way/She said,she said,she said we'd always be friends until the end/She said we'd always be friends until the end/Another time and place/I could be with you always/I appreciate all you say/But i know that there is no way/Your love will be /Something I'll carry with me/Down life's lonely highway/Slow on the curves/Flat out on the straightaway/She said, she said, she said we'd always be friends until the end/She said we'd always be friends until the end.
4.
Where did you go?/Last angel lost across endless fields of snow/I thought I saw you in my dream/Or so it seemed/I could swear/You fall from heaven/You can't go back again/When you fall from heaven/When I look to the skies above/I see an endless starlight sent to earth with love/To come to earth I think you should/Come down I wish you would/Fall from Heaven/You can't go back again when you fall from heaven/True beauty that you are/Always in my thoughts/You keep my body warm/Til dawn's early light/and every night I feel you/Fall from heaven/You can't go back again/When you fall from heaven
5.
Pictures on a pole/Flowers on the street/The faces tell it all/The story's not complete/Kids far too young to die/Blonde hair peroxide/Down to the other side/Downtown Eastside/Well I'm Vancouver bound/Gonna leave this one horse town/And all this shit behind/Don't know what I will find/Kids far too young to die/Kid's far to young to die/Kids far too young to die/Downtown Eastside/Far too young to die/I'm fit to be tied/Society must decide/Who's to live or die/Society must decide/Society must decide /Society must decide/Who's to live or die/Like no one cares at all/The faceless on the street/The needles in the park/the bloodstained down the hall/The family doesn't know/What he's doing to the girls?Got a family in the 'burbs/And another life that hurts/Get outta here/ What ya doing??Downtown Eastside
6.
Virtually 03:11
It's too easy when you cannot see behind the screen of your daydream/Daydream voyeuring a plaything/Now in the schoolyard/now left alone/We all need somebody/Nobody can I see/They all see me/Round and round the carousel/The sparkle ponies gone to their Facebook hell/Can't go home again 'cause home's got no friends/Just shame/ That never ends/We all need somebody?nobody can I see/They all see me/All I want to see is your smile/Now gone away/All i see is virtually.?Everything that goes around gets somewhere soon/And I know that in the journey is the end/ Take that sadness make it loveliness/ Is not too easy, man/ You tried to tell us/Why one would want to leave/ The beauty of the world/All I want to see is your smile/Now gone away/All I see is virtually.
7.
Best Feeling 01:50
What's the best feeling in the world/ Love?/ What helps you up when you are down?/And never wears a frown?/What helps you up when you are down?/Love?/Best feeling in the world/Love.
8.
I don't think you heard about painless love/ Well that's the kind I'm talking about?A love that lasts more than one day/True love don't fade away/trus love don't fade away/Met you on the spring tide's ebb/Summer's heat's gone to my head/And in the fall I fell for you/Winter's chill could not undo/The burning fire of painless love/Flows like a river from the sky above/A love that last more than one day/True love don't fade away/True love don't fade away/Sure enough the world will end/In fire begin again/But in the centre is there found/A tree of life fully grown/And we are part of it you see/Its branches spread infinitely/And you are everything to me/Whatever was and whatever will be.
9.
I remember/Do you remember hearing that song before?/No I don't think that it was the right one/Oh no no/I sure do recall how time stood still/On Kitsilano Beach underneath the weeping willow/Clouds in the sky/Don't bring me down/'Cause I'm in love with the heroin town/Who will forgive me the things that i done/Like waiting in the rain for the Vancouver Sun/Chinatown,Stanley Park/I go there in the morning/I go there after dark/Do the stroll/From a rundown house/ We used to rule/Rock and Roll was the high school/For fools/ Clouds in the sky /Don't bring me down/'Cause I'm in love with the Heroin town/Who will forgive me the things that I done/Like waiting in the rain for the Vancouver Sun/Like waiting in the rain for the Vancouver Sun/ Sleep so peacefully in your tree of liberty.
10.
Don't you worry now/The worst is over/Don't you hurry now/'there's no place to go/No place to run too when you're scared, scarred and lonely/Don't you worry baby I'll be there to help you get along/The rain is falling/On the world tonight/I see the rain on the window pain/ Like blue diamonds in the night/You know you might be right and then again dead wrong about love/There is no rules/There's only fools/Blue Diamonds/ Sounds old fashioned/Don't you believe it/An open doorway/Well you know it ain't always for leaving you was just like whistling a summer melody/It took you right away.
