Do Ya Wanna? 04:04
Do Ya Wanna? i was a faithful man, i had the love of a beautiful woman she gave me everything, then drifted away, i wasn’t paying attention even the sweetest flower in the garden needs a little water and sunshine or they wither and fade away, and carry their seeds along to someone who can grow them and you can try to change, bring on the charm of a jilted stallion but she’s on a different page and no matter what, you’re getting no medallion you’ll never be the knight in shining armour you had your chance and man you really blew it so jump on your horse and find a new rapunzel if you’re in luck maybe she wants you and she might say do you wanna do ya, do you wanna do this now do you wanna do ya, do you wanna do this now cos i’ve had enough of waiting for the one once upon a time, when people in love used to stick together ah there came a modern age, now a couple of days is the new forever because the grass is always greener somewhere and sooner or later you’re gonna jump the fence and at the start of every new adventure, it all makes perfect sense so do you wanna do ya, do you wanna do this now do you wanna do ya, do you wanna do this now do you wanna do ya, do you wanna do this now cos i’ve had enough of waiting this is going nowhere, it’s just a waste of time this is going nowhere, it’s just a waste of time don’t wanna waste my time, why should i waste my time don’t wanna waste my time, don’t wanna waste my time do you wanna do ya, do you wanna do this now do you wanna do ya, do you wanna do this now do you wanna do it, do you wanna do it now cos i've had enough of waiting for the one i was a faithful man, i lost the love of that beautiful woman

Yesterday's Hero you can play the victim, and let me take the blame slander my name around, bury me in shame you can hope for pity, I'll just play along comforted deep within the rhythm of this song and i'll hold my head up high refusing to live a lie and i'll roll with the changes to this picture we painted you can lift the anchor and let me drift away into the emptiness forever and a day and if one day you find me, washed up on the shore please know that i tried so hard, but i could fight no more cos when the wings of an angel fly under an angry sky everything changes, best friends become strangers so i'll go on playing yesterday's hero drift along as yesterday's hero i'll be yesterday's hero i wish i could fix this and turn it all around regrow the seeds of love, and rise up from the ground but sometimes the hill's too high a mountain that can't be climbed and the fool's the pretender who can't face surrender so i'll go on playing yesterday's hero drift along as yesterday's hero on and on playing yesterday's hero na na no no oh no i'll be yesterday's hero

Into The Great Unknown a tiger on a chain, a pebble in a river waiting for the floods to come here i go again, tryin' to get myself together blamin' it on everyone and i don't remember how the story ends but i think the villain turns into a hero so i'm diving into the deep end, blindfolded take me, up where the water flows downstream, over the edge into the great unknown a paper plane, flying unassisted never far from where it lands rising up again, feeling weightless and uplifted still following this empty plan and i might as well be running naked thru half empty streets full of abandoned houses drifting thru the neverland in the moment take me, up where the water flows downstream, over the edge take me, i'm ready to go now awake me, i'm ready to know what awaits me over the waterfall so let's go, let's go, let's go take me, up where the water flows downstream, over the edge into the great unknown take me, up where the water flows downstream, over the edge into the great unknown take me, downstream, into the great unknown
