Plain talking (plain talking)
Take us so far (take us so far)
Broken down cars (broken down cars)
Like strung-out old stars (like strung-out old stars)
Plain talking (plain talking)
Served us so well (served us so well)
Travelled through hell (travelled trough hell)
We know how it felt (we know how it felt)
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Plain talking (plain talking)
Making us bold (making us bold)
So strong out and cold (so strong out and cold)
Feeling so old (feeling so old)
Plain talking (plain talking)
Has ruined us now (has ruined us now)
You never know how (you never know how)
Sweeter than thou (sweeter than thou)
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up

Lift me up, lift me up
Ohla la la la
Lift me up, lift me up

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the window; came along
Extreme ways I know will part the colors of my sea
perfect colored me
Extreme ways they help me
They help me out late at night
Extreme places I had gone
That never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it planned?
I would stand in line for this
There's always room in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart(x2)
Extreme sounds that told me
They held me down every night
I didn't have much to say
I didn't give about the life
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened up to anything
That could get me at all
I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things could cut me
Too much could make me blind
I've seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn't even believe
I would stand in line for this
It's always good in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart(x20
Oh Baby, oh baby
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does

Talvez o tempo ande duro com as pessoas, talvez o final de década zero que é este ano (e não o ano passado, como os néscios que não aprenderam que o Y2K não era o 1º do novo século mas o último do século passado), em vez de parecer o pior dos anos em que o Natal se passa no aeroporto porque tudo falha, desde o GudJohnson aos Controladores e a um subprime sem fim, porque no fim está é a ganância, e essa nunca acaba, talvez o tempo que anda duro seja um aviso para sermos nós duros com ele.
Os meios, os fins... e que tal os princípios? Novos princípios em vez de "oportunidades". Acertar no alvo & abater. Ser Jason Bourne (amnésico) em vez de James Bond (falido).
Who knows?
