"BEAUTY ON THE FIRE"
Written by Imbruglia/Clark/Wilder
Produced by Gabriel/Clark
Here it comes again
Cannot out run my desire
Cover my decent
And throw the beauty on the fire
Drawn towards the edge
Do I assume I could fly
Every secret shared
Why do I drink
the feelings dry
Don't go too far
Limitation scars
Tonight
Could I be lost forever
To drown
My soul in
Sensory Pleasure
(Sensory Pleasure...)
Here it comes again
You raise the bar even higher
I cannot catch my breath
So throw the Beauty on the fire
Don't push too hard
Limitation scars
Do I asume I could fly?

"BUTTERFLIES"
Written by Written by Imbruglia/Clark
Produced by G. Clark
Swallow purple terror candy
Don't forget to breathe
Sickened by the wanting
And drowning from the need
This dichromatic vision
Of one who does not care
To sipping cocktail sedatives
Two months to hide somewhere
Butterflies, butterflies
Cut the stomach out and hand it over
Butterflies, butterflies
My heart will be the bridge
that you walk over
The wolf has caught the chicken
And now I feel unsteady
Emotions on the blink again
So kick me when you're ready
Here lies a violet coffin
The death of my control
Along with all my skeletons
They put them in a hole
Sickened by the notion
I give myself again
Choking on the bullet
The gun that's found a friend
So raise your glass to sorrow
And dring to all the pain
Tie a silver ribbon around
The pieces that remain

"COME SEPTEMBER"
Written by Imbruglia/Clark
Produced by G. Clark
Her bones will ache
Her mouth will shake
And as the passion dies
Her magic heart will break
She'll fly to France
'Cause there's no chance
No hope for Cinderella
Come september
Everything wrong gonna be all right
Come September
Her violet sky
Will need to cry
'Cause if it doesn't rain
Then everything will die
She needs to heal
She needs to feel
Something more than tender
Come September
Everything wrong gonna be all right
Come September
The souls that burn
Will twist and turn and
Find you in the dark
No matter where you run
She's made her mark
But lost her spark
And what she's pushing for
She can't remember
Her eyes surrender
Her cry a crying shame
Coming undone is she
ever gonna feel the same
She will run
She's gonna drink the sun
Shining just for you
Instead of everyone
And so it goes
She'll stand alone
and try no to remember
Come September

"DO YOU LOVE?"
Written by Imbruglia/Clark
Produced by G. Clark
Child, it's broke
And I feel you slipping away
Child, you spoke
And the world fell silent again
Do you love
Do you need love
Child, undone
By fear of falling through cracks
Child, by one mistake
You've lost your way back
Do you love
(Something's gotta turn you round)
Do you love
Do you need love
When your angels shout
Is your heart strung out
Do you love
Do you need love
When your angels fall
Have you lost it all
Child, be still
In the storm
To wave us goodbye
Child, we will
Return to dance with the sky
Do you love
(Something's gotta turn you round)
Do you love
Do you need love
When your angels shout
Is your heart strung out
Do you love
Do you need love
When your angels cry
Does your spirit die

"EVERYTHING GOES"
Written by Imbruglia/Clark
Produced by G. Clark
You live your life
You live like an island
Satisfied
You live for the moment
Here you come
You make it look easy
I bet you smile in your sleep
Are you smiling at me
You live your life
You live like an island
Surrounded by
Water and silence
Mmm... there you go
You make it look easy
I bet you laugh at yourself
Are you laughing at me
'Cause sometimes anything goes
When you're looking at me
And sometimes everything goes
When you're looking at me
So come on, come on
Everything goes
(When you're looking at me)
Come on, come on
Everything goes
(Sometimes when you're smiling at me)
Come on, come on
Everything goes
Come on
You live your life
You live like an island
What is it like
I wish I could hold it
Mmm... there you go
Making it look easy
I bet you like how it feels
But do you feel me

"GOODBYE"
Written by Imbruglia/Wilder
Produced by I. Stanley
Everyday's the same
I feel them merge
I try to separate
Resist the urge
But they tell me I'll be fine
That it will all get better
Just try to write it down
Or put it in a letter
But the words won't play
And ('Cause) there's no easy way to say
Goodbye, goodbye
Keep my head on straight
And don't look down
With all I've pushed away
I'm losing ground
And from the sidelines
Watch me fall down
And I don't understand
The things I do
But I'll probably be fine
As long as I keep moving
I'll try to write it down
So things just keep improving
Still the words won't play
'Cause there's no easy way to say
Goodbye, goodbye

"HURRICANE"
Written by Imbruglia/Clark
Produced by G. Clark
It came on like a hurricane
And I don't understand
And it moved me like a slow dance
Still I don't understand
It pushed me like a tailwind
And I don't understand
And it came in through the back door
And I don't understand
Still I don't understand
You're all that I could be
And I'm falling on my knees
Hurricane
You pulled me out of the past
And landed me in today
Hurricane
(You pulled me out of the past
And walked me into tomorrow
Hurricane)
It picked me like a cherry
And I don't understand
And it killed me with the craving
Still I don't understand
It thrilled me to starvation
And I don't understand
And it stripped me ugly naked
Still I don't understand
And I don't understand
You're all that I could be
And I'm falling on my knee

"SATELLITE"
Written by Imbruglia/Thornalley
Produced by P. Thornalley
Do you lie awake in the morning
Trying to find a reason to call me
'Cause honey all that I've been doing is
Thinking about your smile
But none of this is necessary
With me baby
You see baby
'Cause I like to keep it all simple
'Cause you are my satellite
So I'm trying to keep you in sight
But with all this space
Can we keep it alive keep it alive
So I'm asking you baby
Are you coming down tonight
There's something in the air tonight
That feels right
But you're keeping me guessing and
I'm finding it hard to catch your eye
So move a little closer
It's all right
I know what you're thinking
You've been circling me for a while

"SUNLIGHT"
Written by Imbruglia/Clark
Produced by Stanley/Clark
Today
We don't know who we are
Ashamed
Hiding behind the scars
Too many times
We let the things we feel
Get in the way of letting us heal the wounds
That open in the dark
Did you ever feel sunlight on your face?
Did you ever taste clouds?
Did you ever touch space?
Did you ever feel sunlight on your face?
Did you ever truly live?
So walk
In time to life's refrain
Relax
Don't do it to yourself again
Decaying yourself
With all the love you won't give
Killing yourself
About the way you don't live now
'Cause you're not gonna live forever
Did you ever feel sunlight on your face?
Did you ever breathe hope?
Did you ever dance with grace?
Did you ever feel sunlight on your face?
Did you ever just live, just live?

"TALK IN TONGUES"
Written by Imbruglia/Thornalley
Produced by P. Thornalley
When you beat on that drum
Talk in that tongue
You're just scratching on the surface
So tell me what it means
A whisper to a scream
Slowly fades away
Then you wake up
And tomorrow is today
And you’re crying, crying like a baby
Caught between the tides
(did you lose your way)
You lost your way
(did you lose your way)
You lost your way
Do you know where I’ve been
Walls are caving in
It moves across a wire
There's no need to talk
I crawl as you walk
Pushing me away
Flowers in the bin
Close this hole I'm in
Everything was one
Nothing comes undone
You pay the bill you lost your will
Just run away until
^top
"THAT DAY"
Written by Imbruglia/Leonard
Produced by I. Stanley
That day that day
What a mess, what a marvel
I walked into that cloud again
And i lost myself
And i'm sad, sad, sad
Small, alone and scared
Craving purity a fragile mind
and a gentle spirit
That day, that day
What a marvelous mess
This is all that I can do
I'm done to be me
Sad, scared, small, alone, beautiful
It's supposed to be like this
I accept everything it's
supposed to be like this
That day, that day
I lay down beside myself
In this feeling of pain, sadness scared,
small, climbing, crawling
Towards the light
And it's all I see and
I'm tired and
I'm right
And I'm wrong
And it's beautiful
That day that day
What a mess
What a marvel (marvelous mess)
We're all the same
And no one thinks so
And it's okay
And I'm small
And I'm divine
And it's beautiful
And it's coming
But it's already here
And it's
Absolutely perfect
That day, that day
When everything was a mess
and everything was in place
And there's too much hurt sad,
small, scared, alone
And everyone's a cynic and
it's hard and it's sweet
but it's supposed
to be like this
That day, that day
When I sat in the sun
And I thought and I cried
'cause I'm sad, scared,
small, alone, strong
and I'm nothing
And I'm true
Only a brave man can break through
And it's all okay
Yeah, it's okay

"WRONG IMPRESSION"
Written by Imbruglia/Clark
Produced by I. Stanley
Calling out, calling out
Haven't you wondered
Why I'm always alone
When you're in my dreams
Calling out, calling out
Haven't you wondered
Why you're finding it hard
Just looking at me
I want you
but I want you to understand
I leave you
I love you
Didn't want to leave you
With the wrong impression
Didn't want to leave you
With my last confession
Yeah... Of love
Wasn't trying to pull you
In the wrong direction
All I wanna do is try and
Make a connection
Yeah... Of love
yeah... uuhh
Falling out, falling out
Have you ever wondered
If this was ever more
Than a crazy idea
Falling out, falling out
Have you ever wondered
What we could've been
If you'd only let me in
I want you
But I want you to understand
I miss you
I love you
Have you ever wondered
Yeah yeah...
I need you
I love you
