Human Beings
(Seal) 1998


It is only love I feel
That will give us peace of heart

In my hour of desperate need

I...................
feel closer to the One

Oh........
but  why...

Please
Human being
If you bleed
they will say it was destined

They'll be punchin' tickets
For the minute if you fall out of line

desperate
desperate


Tell me is it death you feel

That will bring you peace of life.

Who wants

Tell me you're one

Tell me you're one of us

Tell me you're one

Tell me you're one of us



When you  lose your self esteem
That's when love dies...


Ohhh...
Please....
Human being
If you bleed
They will say  that it's destined

They'll be punchin' tickets
For the minute if you fall out of line

We're mere human beings we die

So...
So...desperate  desperate... yeah...


Well I feel...
When you've reached number one
You look like you're puffing but
Really only blocking the sun...

Blocking the sun
Blocking the sun..............
Blocking the sun
Blocking the sun..............

We're mere human beings
We die...

It's destined........
They'll be punchin' tickets
For the minute you fall out of life

We're mere human beings we die

We're mere human beings we die

Desperate
It's destined

We're mere human beings we die...

desperate

it's destined
     destined



We're mere human beings we die...

State Of Grace
(Seal) 1998

So strange
It's funny how
We came to meet

Those eyes uncanny
Were my invitation

I couldn't wait
                  I couldn't...
I couldn't wait
                  I couldn't...
To hold you like a baby

Here's what it feels like
You are here now

Oh but I
Can't seem to find our state of grace
Who knows tomorrow may never come
One touch, one look that is all it takes
These things forever change us

Oh I...   hey...

This is the sound of a feeling that's caught in my head
Make me think about something you said
Take away my fears

Ohh I
This is the sound of a woken man
Why don't you tell me it you babe
I found you
You babe

Yeeaaah but I
Can't seem to find that state of grace
Who knows tomorrow may never come
One touch, one look that is all it takes
These things forever change us

Look at the past
No savoir faire
No that's not us


Whoooohooohoohooa


Oh but I
I can't seem to find my state of grace
Who knows tomorrow may never come
One touch, one look that is all it takes
These things forever change us

These things forever change us

These things

Look at the past

These things

No savoir fair

These things

I know that are ours

These things

Look at the past

Whoaa ohhh oohh ohhhhhh ohhh oohhh ohhha

Whoaa ohhh oohh ohhhhhh ohhh oohhh ohhha

Aaaahha


These things

Look at the past

Latest Craze
(Seal) 1998

Warmth
Security
And all that comes with it

Still the wondering
How it ever felt this good
When you do it by daylight
In company
Or even by yourself

If they tell you
It gets harder
Then somthing's right
But trust me
If you're feeling it
It gets easier by the night

When you do it daylight
Or even in company
That's okay

But if it felt the same
A little superficial
I figure if it's good to me
It's the latest craze
The latest craze

Tell me
Father
Say that it's no good
I'm doing something
Frankly, I don't think that I should
Any fool can see
There's no guarantee
No

If they tell you
                 tell you
It gets harder
                 harder   ...ohh
Then something's right
                 then something's right
But trust me
                 trust me
If you're feeling it
                 if you're feeling it
It gets easier by the night
               when you do it...
When you do it in daylight
 in daylight               maybe somtimes
Or even sometimes in company
                    in company
That's okay

But if it felt the same
A little superficial
I figure if it's good to me
Then it's the latest craze

And if it felt the same
Yet slightly superficial
I figure if it's all new to me
It's just the latest craze

It's just the latest craze


What does this mean to me
                 what does this mean to me
Any fool can see
                 any fool can see
It's just a fantasy
                 it's just a fantasy
Ohh yes
                 my faith

It's just the latest craze

It's the latest craze

It's the latest craze


Any fool can see

I'm doing something

Frankly, I don't think that I should

Just Like You Said
(Seal) 1998

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I,
I am
So unsure
Every minute that waits
Every second I'm away
From you

And love
Is a way that
Has no rules
Know that I'm loving you
Even if it's
A fool that waits in vain
Waits in vain

Yesterday it hit me
That we were slipping away
Say you if youi can it's okay
Just like you said way then

Sometime I fall
And I feel like
I don't know the way

Say if you can it's okay
Just like you said then
Just like you said


Now
Now my days become long
Okay
I know I'll never feel the same again

So please
Don't let
My lows bring you down
Always know that
I need..... you
Yes I do
  Yes I do....oh

Yesterday it hit me
I felt we were slipping away
Say if you can
It's okay
Just like you said way there

Sometime I fall
and I, I feel like
I don't know the way

Won't you say if you can
It's okay
Just like you said then
Just like you said.... oh

Ohhhhhh .....
My my my my my again


Yesterday it hit me
I felt you were slipping
Away
Say if if you can it's okay
Just like you said way then

Sometime I fall and I feel
I don't know the way

Won't you say if you can
it's okay

Just like you said then
Just like you said.... oh

Just like you said then
Just like you said.... oh

Just like you said way back then

Just like you said

Princess
(Seal) 1998


The princess and the liar
Her dress is catchin' fire

Daddy's little lemon ain't
All she's meant to be

I almost made you jump
The trust you so desire
My love is tasting bitter
'cause it almost set you free

The princess and the liar
Her dress is catchin' fire
Daddy's little lemon ain't
All she seems to me

You're heading for the crash
It'll be right here tomorrow
I'll even pay for gas
If you wreck us gracefully

The princess and the liar
Her dress is catchin' fire
Daddy's little lemon ain't
all she's meant to be

Colour
(Seal) 1998

Ohhh....
Colour fades away
With a light descending on the day
Midnight sees your friend
Oh could you call his name
Would you know his name

I come here for your love
But, God only knows...
Colour fades away
Good times here today
Meanwhile you would say
I close my eyes

Colour (fades away)
Tell I you for anyway
Midnight is your friend
Will we see a beginning in the end

God only knows what we've put in that paint
God only knows...
Colour fades away
Good times here today
Here most every day
Meanwhile you would say
I close my eyes...
and dream of only yesterday

Colour fades away
Good time here today
Here most everyday
Meanwhile you would say
That I clo...se my eyes

Colour
Fades to grey
I dream so exciting
But I, I feel so bo...ld

Midnight... midnight... midnight...

Midnight... midnight... midnight...

Still Love Remains
(Seal) 1998

How will I stand
If you turn out the light
That shines over me

That shines over me


And how will I live
If you take all the give
That you have for me

That you have for me


Without so madly
Without so fast

Yet still we remain


How will I love
If you take all the life
From out of me

Right from out of me

Tell me how will I live
If you take all the give
That you give to me


We burned so brightly
Love so fast

Yet still we remain........
                 main.........

Ohhhh

'Cause we'll live
And we give
Today......
       ay.......


I.... ye..ah

But dontcha know

You know
You know
You know
I know
You know

You're nothing I... yeah

Now dontcha know
You know
You know
You know
I know
You know

You're nothing I... yeah...

Now dontcha know
You know
You know
You know
I know
You know



Tell me how will I live
With anyone but you
Babe

Anyone but you babe

With anyone but you

With anyone but you


With anyone but you

Lost My Faith
(Seal, Ernest Hamilton) 1998

We both know
That the harder we try
Can't understand it
We're so caught up in the reasons why

Station to station
And we couldn't even say their names

I realise it
It's just a game


I had lost my faith
Long ago

I had lost my faith
Long ago


I can't see
That if I say close to your side

All of my pressures now
I know they will subside

If ever you need me  yeah
                         All you gotta
All you gotta do is fall

I hear you sayin'
That you got it all


I......... had lost my faith
     I.....had lost my faith
Long ago

I had lost my faith long ago
     I.....had lost my faith
Long ago


A stranger sold her sins
I lie here for you touch
But what I want to know
Is why do I want you so much
They say that's all the same


        All though my life
All though my life
        All though my life
I have
Waited for you ...aay
        waited for you
And
Have you waited too
        are you really for the feeling

Ohhhh.... I


Nana naa naa naa naa ohh


I had lost my faith
Long ago

I had lost my faith long ago
     I.....had lost my faith

Long ago


Nana naa naa naa naa ohh

I had lost my faith
  Nana naa naa naa naa ohh
Long ago

I lost my faith
 Nana naa naa naa naa ohh

I lost my faith
I lost my faith

Ohh lord
 Nana naa naa naa naa ohh

When A Man Is Wrong
(Seal) 1998

The perils of lonelyness
The pleasures of love
That we find

The arguement's immenent
The look on her face
As we cry

There's nothing when you fall alone
There's hate when you fall by the side

You know that I didn't mean to hurt you love
I just need some light
On my life


But when a man is wrong
Facing all the mistakes
That he's done

There can be no right


Now if I was a holy man
And you were the devil song
And if I liked what you played
Does that mean you're right and I'm wrong

Know there's danger in serenade, my friend
There's love if you find what you want

And there's reasons to be afraid
And reasons to open your heart


But when a man is wrong
Facing all the mistakes
That he's done

There can be no right


Oh my friend
I sometimes get things wrong to get things right

Oh   my  friend
You know I sometimes get things wrong to get things right

Oh   my  friend
                Nana naa na naa

When I'm wrong
                is wrong
Facing all the mistakes that are done

When a man is wrong
When this man is wrong
There can be no right

There can be no right

No Easy Way
(Seal) 1998

Close your heart
Close your eyes
Fake a kiss and
Say goodbye

Wheh you know it's not the way
And you're leaving home today

Anger rises
The deed is done
Just to say you
Can't go on
When you know that's not the way
Yet you're leaving home today

If I see a tear in your eye
It's an easy way

To say goodbye


You're afraid
So you lie
Sometime this will get by
But you know that's not the way
And I trust you anyway

Harmony
But not for long
Plain to see
We're doing something wrong
Even though you gone away
I still love you

But if I see a tear in your eye
It's an easy way
To say goodbye...   oohhh  oo

To say goodbye...   oohhhwhoa..bye

To say goodbye......


Sent you Rilke
By hand
Hoping you would understand
Don't you know that's not my way
I was missing you today

Anger rises
The deed is done
Just to say that
You can't go on

When you know that's not my way
'Cause I still love you

After all we've
Said and done
Can't you see
We can't go on
'Cause God knows there's no easy way

To say goodbye


Let's Fall In Love
(Seal) 1998

My emotions
Drift away
I think about it
But it's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

It's alright now

My emotions
Drift away
I think about it
Every single day

Do I regret it
Well I say
That it's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
Out in space

There's a feeling that runs through your viens

One that has no time, no space
Taking you high
So that you can't deny it
That's when you're in love

(Taking you high
So that you can't deny it
That's when youre in love)

(Taking you high
So that you can't deny it
That's when you're in love)
That's when you're in love


(Taking you high
So that you can't deny it
That's when you're in love)


(Taking you high
So that you can't deny it
That's when you're in love)


(Taking you high
So that you can't deny it
That's when you're in love)

That's when you're in love

Reprise
(Seal) 1998


....the dice




Chasin' away
Feels like I'm
Chasing nowhere

Doing whatever I feel

I just keep falling down

You know in every way

Many thanks to Tina & Vincenzo P Ferro for helping to clear up some toublesome lyrics!
