Brian McFadden Album

I was born in the heart of Dublin
Back when being gay wasn't cool
Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools

We were warped by the Christian Brothers
In the cell blocks at our schools
Get a handprint on your skin
Before you break their rules

Go hit me now
That I'm twice your size
Brushed off the accusations
And bowed before your lies

This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
And it was leaving that saved me
I seen so much that has changed me
Just break with your past
Feed your own mind
This Irish son has moved with the times

Weddings deaths or baptizing children
That's my debt paid to the church
I don't need that kind of salvation
When I get hurt

Don't fill my head with sermons
And force me to believe

This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
And it was leaving that saved me
I seen so much that has changed me
Just break with your past
Feed your own mind
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times

Our father who art in heaven
Come down here and make your presence known
We can't do it on our own
The lunatics let run the asylum
How can we find peace inside your home
When you can't trust your own

This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
But it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
So just break with your past
Feed your own mind
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times

Bullshit dinners and the free champagne,
Men in suits who think they know it all,
No-one knows me but they know my name
That's not real to me,
Hotel lobby to the aeroplane,
Another country but they start to look the same
Watch the world behind a window pane
That's not real to me,

When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I'll raise my family and live in peace
Now that's what's real to me
Real to me

Dying flowers in a dressing room
A dangerous time to let your head make up it's own mind
Got me thinking that the spirits flown
That's not real to me,

When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I'll raise my family and live in peace
Now that's what's real to me

Picnics in the garden
And the children they can play
The first day of the summer
And I laze here all the day
Then we'll invite the family round
And drink some English tea
Then I raise up my finger
And watch football on TV

Yeah..ohh..

Now that's what's real to me

When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I'll raise my family and live in peace
Now that's what's real to me
That's what's real to me
Real to me

Wake up you might be dreaming
Wake up you might be dreaming, now

Have you ever been lost in a different world
Where everything you once knew
Is gone
And you find yourself powerless
With everything that exist
You'll know

Aah, aah, aah
Will I ever break free?

I search my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You're staring me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams

If you become a nobody
Lying to your family
Who would you be?
And life has gone into reverse
Reliving every hurt
Along the way

Aah, aah, aah
Everything that you fear
Is caught in you and drawing near

Search my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You're staring me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams

Wake me up and let's go
Yeah
I'm about to explode
Yeah

I search my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You're staring me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams

When we fall out
I like to go driving in my car
Listen to something ironic
And end up in a bar

Get an earful of shit from a stranger
Who's got a broken heart
Weighting up what would be more payful,
Staying with your man
Or going back to her

Doesn't everybody feel this way sometimes?
It's a lose-lose situation
For a shitty little crime
You can never win with women
It's pointless trying to try
It's a lose-lose situation till the day you die

Everybody knows the score
She'll be crying to the mother-in-law
And I'll be sleeping out with the dog
Must give interflora
A call, a call, a call, a call...

Doesn't everybody feel this way sometimes?
It's a lose-lose situation
For a shitty little crime
You can never win with women
It's pointless trying to try
It's a lose-lose situation till the day you die

Ooooh... Ooooh la-la-la
Ooooh... Ooooh la-la-la
Ooooh... Ooooh la-la-la
Ooooh... Ooooh la-la-la
Ooooh... Ooooh la-la-la
Ooooh...

Then we make up
I'm walking on egg-shells for a day
And I'll clean the house
And hope that I might get a lay
I've been back to that drunken stranger
And something that he says
"Pack your bags, alright?"
She'll be quiet when your dead

Doesn't everybody feel this way sometimes?
It's a lose-lose situation
For a shitty little crime
You can never win with women
It's pointless trying to try
It's a lose-lose situation till the day you die

And it's a lose-lose situation till the day you die

It's another 6 am
As he stumbles in again
And my mother cries:
Don't wake the children!

Through the tears I can hear him say:
Didn't have much luck today
But he really knows
He just threw it away

He find his answers at the bottom at a bottle
And his life is always fully on the throttle
And he slowly turning out just like his father
And he knows

That he's no hero
But he's doing what he can
Trying to make me a better man
And he's no hero
But he made me what I am
Stop me from becoming another you

Daddy couldn't save himself
No-one ever care to help
And he looked at me
As what he could have been

Now I know what I've got to be
Everything that make him proud of me
With my second chance
That he never had

Cause his dreams are at the bottom of his bottle
And he's never gonna be who he oughtta
And he's just a little image of his father
And he knows

That he's no hero
But he's doing what he can
Trying to make me a better man
And he's no hero
But he made me what I am
Stop me from becoming another you

The dead end road on which I'm running
It's like he already knows
He lives the pain that would be coming
And I'm proud to say that he is my father
And it's okay

That he's no hero
But he's doing what he can
Trying to make me a better man
And he's no hero
But he made me what I am
Stop me from becoming
Stop me from becoming
Stop me from becoming another you
(Another you to end)

It seems like only yesterday
I held you in my arms and said
You will never need to fear the talk

But unforeseen misery
Has come between your mommy and me
And we can love you more now we're apart

Everyday is filled with pain
We never feel that you're to blame
Sometimes life breaks in mysterious ways

I can make it up to you
Believe me, I am trying to
No matter what you'll always be my babies

Daddy, he's got to go away
Cause there's just no other way
To live this through
Someday, you'll learn to understand
This wasn't what I planned
For me and you
Sorry, love daddy

Oooooh oooh oooh oooh

Found myself magnetized
My senses, they were hypnotized
Everything was drawing to you
I lost all sense of time
The everyday was pushed aside
Even though I've so much to lose
You have tried to open up my eyes
You don't mean a word you say

Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away

Now I'm on a danger list
A thief of love, a terrorist
How can I have such a selfish heart?
Like the river needs the rain
I've come to drink your words again
That become to blow my world apart
You can try to fix it with a lie
You don't mean a word you say

Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away

Ooooooooooh
What a beautiful way to go
What a beautiful way to go
What a beautiful way to go

Something I will never do
Is become as a pain for you
I should just forget it all today

Drawing to you
I can't seem to
Pull myself away
I hear you calling
As I'm falling

Drawing to you
I can't seem to
Pull myself away
I hear you calling
As I'm falling
Can't pull myself away

Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away
Can't pull myself away

I was talking last night
To a friend who was thinking he might
Risk it all for a moment of lust, an adventure

So I told him
You can't live every day like your last
Pay the price and the moment will pass
It's too late and there's no second chance
If it's over, you've got nothing

Well, I've been there
The grass was just fine
On this side
Because I've been there
There's no getting back
On the line

There's no replacing the love you've got
Don't have to lose to see what you've lost
Just be true to your woman

No good living that life
When it's over the secret won't die
She will move on to another guy
She won't love you
Like you're wife

And I've been there
I don't recommend
That pain
Because I've been there
Trust me as your friend
There's nothing to gain

There's no replacing the love you've got
Don't have to lose to see what you've lost
Just be true to your woman

Many years working hard
Everyone gets tempted
By something they never knew, never had
The fantasy overtakes, overrides everything
And you're getting lost in a hollow world
All those years they are worth a lot
You'll only realise when they're gone
And just be true

There's no replacing the love you've got
You'll have to lose to see what' you've lost
Just be true to you're woman

Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh

The summer got cold
And the wheels came of my mobile home and then
My face it got odd
And the ride of my life broke down ten minutes from home
God don't love me anymore
But once again I’ve drawn the short straw
I can't take it anymore

The world is spinning round
And I fell off and never hit the ground
It turned me upside down
My heart fell out, now i'm

A walking disaster
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
A walking disaster
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh

I’m close to the boots
And the shoe is on the other foot but just then
No rhythm and soul
And I lost my mojo a no go nasty surprise

God don't love me anymore
But once again I’ve drawn the short straw
I can't take it anymore

The world is spinning around
And I fell off and never hit the ground
It turned me upside down
My heart fell out, now I'm

A walking disaster
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Walking disaster
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh

A walking disaster

(Leave me alone, leave me alone)

Walking Disaster

(Leave me alone, leave me alone, just leave me alone, leave me alone)

I can't take it anymore
The world is spinning around
And I fell off and never hit the ground

The world is spinning around
And I fell off and never hit the ground
It turned me upside down
My heart fell out, now I'm

A walking disaster
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
A walking Disaster
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh

The world is spinning round
And I fell off and never hit the ground
It turned me upside down
My heart fell out, now I'm

A walking disaster
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
A walking disaster
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooooh ooooh

A walking disaster

She wipes the tear from her brow
She's been crying again
She's been walking into walls again
Behind her quivering smile
There's a secret
That goes deeper than the cuts she hides

Her head's spinning around
He beat her soul to the ground
A grown woman in pain
And all she longs to be
Is that little girl, again

She screams inside
And all she wants to be
All she wants to be
Is yesterday's child
She wants to hide
And all she wants to be
All she wants to be
Is yesterday's child

Curled up shivering alone
She's been hurt again
She's been walking into walls again
Her children keep her alive
They're her sanity
But they're the reason why she has to stay
A grown woman in pain
And all she longs to be
Is that little girl, again

With Delta Goodrem
(Delta Goodrem, Brian McFadden, Guy Chambers)

Brian:
Did I hear you right?
Cause I thought you said
Let's think it over
You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you

Shadows bleeding through the light
Where the love once shined so bright
Came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Haven't I always loved you?

Delta:
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here

Brian:
I would change the world
If I had a chance
Oh won't you let me
Treat me like a child
Throw your arms around me
Oh please protect me

Brian & Delta:
Bruise and battered by your words
Days are shattered, how it hurts
Brian:
Oh, haven't I always loved you?

Delta:
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here

Brian & Delta:
Bruise and battered by your words
Days are shattered, now it hurts
Brian:
Haven't I always loved you?

Delta:
But when I need you
You're almost here
Brian:
Well I never knew how far behind I'd left you
Delta:
And when I hold you
You're almost here
Brian:
Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted

Brian & Delta:
And now I'm with you
I'm close to tears
Brian:
Cause I know I'm almost here

Brian & Delta:
Only almost here
