The Two Ring Circus
Sometimes - Erasure and Flood Mix
Written by Clarke / Bell
It's not the way you lead me
By the hand into the bedroom
It's not the way you throw your clothes
Upon the bathroom floor
Been thinking about you
I just couldn't wait to see
Fling my arms around you
As we fall in ecstasy
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
It's not the way you caress me
Toy with my affection
It's not my sense of emptiness
You fill with your desire
Climb in bed beside me
We can lock the world outside
Touch me satisfy me
Warm your body next to mine
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
It Doesn't Have To Be - Mix by Pascal Gabirel
Written by Clarke / Bell
You are on one side
And I am on the other
Are we divided?
You are on one side
I am on the other
Are we divided?
Why can't we live together?
There are no rights
This isn't your decision
We need to talk of changing things
But no one wants to listen
It doesn't have to be like that
It doesn't have to be like that
It doesn't have to be like that
A heart on the inside
The same as any other
Are we divided?
Someone always has to suffer
We are broken
There's no one left to change it
Is that the way it has to be?
Why can't we rearrange it?
It doesn't have to be like that
(One against one)
It doesn't have to be like that
(One against one)
It doesn't have to be like that
Alava mo ja na me me
Limbaniango limbaniago
Zimbabwe ado naga na me me
Limbaniango limbaniago
Alava mo ja na me me
Limbaniango limbaniago
Zimbabwe ado naga na me me
Limbaniango limbaniago
What is the secret
In calling me a brother?
Are we divided?
Always one against the other
We are strong now
Put down the ammunition
For what we know is right
Is gonna breakdown this division
It doesn't have to be like that
(One against one)
It doesn't have to be like that
(One against one)
It doesn't have to be like that
(One against one)
(One against one)
It doesn't have to be like that
You are one side
And I am on the other
Are we divided?
Victim Of Love - Little Louis Vega Mix
Written by Clarke / Bell
I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love
You say that I could show some emotion
That I've been keeping secrets from you
But I can see through all your sweet talk
And all of your affection untrue
I'm gonna find you out
If you scream and I shout
You won't break down my protection
I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love
I'm gonna lock up what I'm feeling inside
Ain't no way you can break down the door
' Cause this time I've learned my lesson
You can take this declaration of war
Step right back
Put on your coat and your hat
Gonna avoid all complications
I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love
I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love
Leave Me To Bleed - Vince Clarke/Eric Radcliffe Mix
Written by Clarke / Bell
It wasn't me that saw you
Standing by the neon lit door
It wasn't me that saw you
Clinging to somebody I deplore
Baby don't show your face
Don't move in my direction
Leave me to bleed
Your love, your love can be fatal
Leave me to bleed
Your love, your love can be fatal
It wasn't me that heard you
Whisper a name I'd never heard before
It wasn't me that heard you
Steal out to meet behind a secret door
I been suspecting
Done my own detecting
Leave me to bleed
Your love, your love can be fatal
Leave me to bleed
Your love, your love can be fatal
It wasn't me that saw you
Pick up a letter fallen on the floor
It wasn't me that heard you
Say you couldn't love me anymore
There's no mistaking
I guess I'll just be waiting
Leave me to bleed
Your love, your love can be fatal
Leave me to bleed
Your love, your love can be fatal
Leave me to bleed
Your love, your love can be fatal
Leave me to bleed
Your love, your love can be fatal
Hideaway - Little Louis Vega Mix
Written by Clarke / Bell
One day the boy decided
To let them know the way he felt inside
He could not stand to hide it
His mother she broke down and cried
Oh my father
Why don't you talk to me now?
Oh my mother
Do you still cry yourself to sleep?
Are you still proud of your little boy?
Don't be afraid
You don't have to hide away
The boy he was rejected
By the people that he cared for
It's not what they expected
But he could not keep it secret anymore
Far from home now
Waiting by the telephone
There's a new world
You can make it on your own
Are you still proud of your little boy?
Don't be afraid
You don't have to hide away, no
Don't be afraid
Love will mend your broken wing
Time will slip away
Learn to be brave
Oh my father
Why don't you talk to me now?
Oh my mother
Do you still cry yourself to sleep?
Are you still proud of your little boy?
Don't be afraid
You don't have to hide away, no
Don't be afraid
Love will mend your broken wing
Time will slip away
Learn to be brave
Don't Dance - Daniel Miller/Flood Mix
Written by Clarke / Bell
Anything you want
Everything you need
Every time you take what's on offer
You can step on out
You can do without
You don't have to be like every other
Don't dance to the rhythm
Do something about it
Don't dance to the rhythm
You can do without it
Don't dance to the rhythm
Do something about it
Don't dance to the rhythm
You can do without it
Always stay in line
Fool you every time
Wonder why it ends up in sorrow
You don't have to go
All you say is no
There's no rhythm that you have to follow
Don't dance to the rhythm
Do something about it
Don't dance to the rhythm
You can do without it
Don't dance to the rhythm
Do something about it
Don't dance to the rhythm
You can do without it
Don't dance to the rhythm
Do something about it
Don't dance to the rhythm
You can do without it
Don't dance to the rhythm
Do something about it
Don't dance to the rhythm
You can do without it
Everywhere you go
Everything you do
Got to make the best just that bit better
You can step on out
You can do without
You don't have to be like every other
Don't dance to the rhythm
Do something about it
Don't dance to the rhythm
You can do without it
Don't dance to the rhythm
Do something about it
Don't dance to the rhythm
You can do without it
The Circus - Gladiator Dub Mix
Written by Clarke / Bell
Call it new technology
And they use it to burn
And they show no concern
Work for their prosperity
While the big wheels turn
Now it's too late to learn
Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
He's gonna close his eyes for you
And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Father worked in industry
Now the work has moved on
And the factory's gone
See them sell your history
Where once you were strong
And you used to belong
There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skillful hand yesterday
And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
He's gonna close his eyes for you
And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Tempers fray so easily
In desperate despair is there anyone who cares?
Just another tragedy
Just a personal affair in a room somewhere
There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skillful hand yesterday
And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Of a broken, of a broken dream
If I Could - Orchestral
Written by Clarke / Bell
I don't believe you know
What you're talking 'bout
I don't believe you'd go
And ever find out for yourself
Always got a lot to say
But I'm not listening anyway
I'm not listening anyway
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
If I could
Make the world a little better
I don't believe you care
About the consequences
I don't believe you share
In what you know we know is true
Turning keys and locking doors
I won't accept that anymore
Won't accept that anymore
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
If I could
Make the world a little better
I don't believe you know
About the hearts you've broken
I don't believe you show
What your intentions really are
Can you hear?
What have you done?
There's not enough for everyone
Not enough for anyone
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
If I could
Make the world a little better
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
If I could
Make the world a little better
Spiralling - Orchestral
Written by Clarke / Bell
I try hard
To put you out of mind
Every night alone
I'm thinking 'bout you
How can I avoid this
Pain without you?
I won't cry
I won't be sorry no more
I know that this is
Something I'll get over
Maybe I can learn to love another
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Just because
I lock myself in my room
It doesn't mean that
I'm afraid to talk to
Those people I know
That might have you seen you
No return
I keep reminding myself
I won't look back
Don't regret a single moment
I gonna mend this heart
Inside you've broken
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Show me the way
They say safety in numbers
I lift up my eyes to the sky
And imagine a crowd
Of hearts that surround me
That give the me courage to die
Were you to weep
And lie soft at my feet?
Then you'd wash all
My troubles away
And imagine the host
Of angels around me
That give me the courage to die
My Heart...So Blue - Orchestral
Written by Clarke
I've got her picture
It's there on the wall
I can't remember why
I keep it at all
The doors are cold and
All the windows seem grey
I write the book
There's so much more I should say
Wave goodbye
See my heart...so blue
Wave goodbye
Lost for you
And now it's over
I write it all down
No one to notice
One less face in the crowd
Our eyes are open
When it suits us to see
Dear God in heaven
Show no mercy to me
Wave goodbye
See my heart...so blue
Wave goodbye
Lost for you
I shed no tears
And there's no reason for shame
A small consolation
Hides a stone with her name
Just a victim
Still the light shines all bright
I've got her picture
Think I'll hold it tonight
Wave goodbye
See my heart...so blue
Wave goodbye
Lost for you
Wave goodbye
See my heart...so blue
Wave goodbye
Lost for you
Wave goodbye
See my heart...so blue
Wave goodbye
Lost for you
Wave goodbye
See my heart...so blue
Wave goodbye
Lost for you

Sometimes - Live
Written by Clarke / Bell
It's not the way you lead me
By the hand into the bedroom
It's not the way you throw your clothes
Upon the bathroom floor
Been thinking about you
I just couldn't wait to see
Fling my arms around you
As we fall in ecstasy
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
It's not the way you caress me
Toy with my affection
It's not my sense of emptiness
You fill with your desire
Climb in bed beside me
We can lock the world outside
Touch me satisfy me
Warm your body next to mine
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart

Oh L'amour - Live
Written by Clarke / Bell
Oh L'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do?
Looking for you
You were looking for me
Always reaching for you
You were too blind to see
Oh love of my heart
Why leave me alone?
I'm falling apart
No good on my own
Oh L'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do?
Why throw it away?
Why walk out on me?
I just live for the day
For the way it should be
There once was a time
Had you here by my side
You said I wasn't your kind
Only here for the ride
Oh L'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do?
No emotional ties
You don't remember my name
I lay down and die
I'm only to blame
Oh love of my heart
It's up to you now
You tore me apart
I hurt inside-out
Oh L'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do?
Oh L'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do?
Who Needs Love (Like That) - Live
Written by Clarke
Who needs love like that?
There's something going on
Something not quite right
There's something strange
That's happening to me
There's someone at the door
Hear voices in my head
It seems things aren't the way
They ought to be
Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?
It seemed so clear before
I held my point of view
I kept my conversation
Never changed
Now it's all gone wrong
And words are kind of hard
And nothing else around me
Looks the same
Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?
Love can turn you upside-down
And leave you cold
It's plain to see
You're losing all control
Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?
I'd like to understand
Like to find out why
I can't remember all
The lines I should say
But then I see her face
And nothing really counts
Don't tell me now
This feeling will stay
Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?
Love can turn you upside-down
Then leave you cold
It's plain to see
You're losing all control
Who needs love like that?
Who needs love like that?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! - Live
Written by Andersson / Ulvaeus
In my dreams, I have a plan
If I got me a weathly man
I wouldn't have to work at all
I'd fall around and have a ball
Half past twelve, and I'm watching the late show
In my flat all alone
How I hate to spend an evening on my own
Autumn winds blowing outside the window
As I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness till the break of the day
Movie stars, find the end of the rainbow
With that fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V., I open the window
And I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there, no one to hear my prayer
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness till the break of the day
There's not a soul out there, no one to hear my prayer
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness till the break of the day
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness till the break of the day
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
