The B-sides that changed the world.


ALWAYS (Oct. 9, 2000)

Here today, and gone tomorrow
Crack the bone, get to the marrow
To be the bee, and the flower
Before the sweetness turns to sour

What we have we’re gonna keep (Always)
What we’ve lost, we don’t need (Always)
What is it that won’t let you sleep (Always)

Be the apple, and the target
Put your head over the parapet
Be uncool, yes, be awkward
And don’t look in the obvious place
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate

Get down off your holy cloud (Always)
God will not deal with the proud (Always)
If you dream, then dream out loud (Always)
Eternally yours (Always)

I want you
I want you
I want you
Don’t you know desire?
I wanted to be your love
I wanted to call . . .

You say come, you know yourself (Always)
Go find yourself in someone else (Always)
And always wear a safety belt (Always)
Wait for me, I’m running late (Always)

This is the moment that we share, for Always
Turn each song into a prayer (Always)
Now and forever, for Always
For Always
For Always
For Always

SUMMER RAIN (Oct. 9, 2000)

When you stop seeing beauty you start growing old
The lines on your face are a map to your soul
When you stop taking chances you'll stay where you sit
You won't live any longer but it'll feel like it

I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
In the summer rain

Tequila and orange, Jamaica and rum
At the Moreilla, honey on my tongue
In a small boat on a generous sea
You let me be your enemy
A tiny hand with a grip on the world
Holding our breath now, diving for pearls

I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain

Just as you find me always I will be
A little bit too free with myself
Just as you find me always I will be
A little bit too free with myself

I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
Now there's no one else in the summer rain
Raining down
Raining down
Rain
Raining down
Raining down

Just as you find me always I will be
A little bit too free with myself
Just as you find me always I will be
A little bit too free with myself

It's not why you're running
It's where you're going
It's not what you're dreaming
But what you're gonna do
It's not where you're born
It's where you belong
It's not how weak
But what will make you strong
