Drowned world/Substitute for love
Drowned world/Substitute for love
I trade fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things cannot be bought
Got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools, so glady, and now I find
I've changed my mind
The face of you
My substitute for love, my substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love, my substitute for love
I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone
Had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt, so happy
The face of you
My substitute for love, my substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love, my substitute for love
Mmmm, ooooo
No famous places, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No ferries wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land
No fire that I can spark
Mmmm
The face of you
My substitute for love, my substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love, my substitute for love
This is my religion

Madonna, William Orbit, Rod McKuen, Anita Kerr and David Collins

Swim
Swim
Put your head on my shoulder
Things can't get any worse
Night is getting colder, sometimes…
Life feels like it's a cure
I can't carry these sins on my back
Don't wanna carry anymore
I'm gonna carry this train off the track…
Gonna swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmm…Swim to the ocean floor
Children killing children while the…
Student rape this teachers
Comet fly across the sky
While the churches burn their preaches
We can't carry these sins on our back
Don't wanna carry anymore
We're gonna carry this train off the track
We're gonna swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmm…Crash to the other shore
Mmmmm….Swim to the ocean floor
Let the water wash over you
Wash it all over you
Swim to the ocean floor
So that we can begin again
Wash away all our sins
Crash to the other shore
Mmmmm…
I can't carry these sins on my back
Don't wanna carry anymore
I'm gonna carry this train off the track
I'm gonna swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmm…
Swim to the ocean floor
We can't carry these sins on our back
Don't wanna carry anymore
We're gonna carry this off the track
We're gonna swim to the ocean floor
Crash to the other shore
Swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmm…Crash to the other shore

Ray of light
Ray of light
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning
Sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe
Gone quickly
For the call of thunder
Threatens everyone
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel, and I feel
Like I just got home
And I feel
Faster than the speeding light
She's flying
Trying to remember
Where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of Heaven
Waiting for the time when
Earth shall be as one
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel, and I feel
Like I just got home
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning
Sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe
Gone quickly
For the call of thunder
Threatens everyone
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
And I feel, and I feel
Like I just got home, and I feel
Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying

Young velvet porcelain boy
Devour me when you're with me

Skin
Skin
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said before
Kiss me I'm dying
Put you hands on my skin
I close my eyes, I need to make a connection
I'm walking on a thin line
I close my eyes, I close my eyes
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said before
Touch me I'm trying
To see inside of your soul
I've got this thing
I want to make a correction
I'm not like this all the time
You've got this thing
You've got this thing
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said before
Kiss I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to have your protection
I close my eyes, I close your eyes
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the thing I said
Sound like the stupid thing I said before

Nothing really matters
Nothing really natters
When I was very young
Nothing really mattered to me
But making myself happy
I was the only one
Now that I am grown
Everything's changed
I'll never be the same
Because of you
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me
Looking at my life: it's very clear to me
I lived so selfishly
I was the only one
I realize that nobody wins
Something is ending
And something begins
Nothing really matters
Nothing the past away
Like the future
Nothing makes the darkness go
Like the light
You're shelter from the storm
Give me comfort in you arms

Sky fits Heaven
Sky fits Heaven
Sky fits Heaven so fly it
That's what the prophet said to me
Child fits mother so hold your baby tight
That's what my future could see
Fate fits karma so use it
That's what the wise man said to me
Love fits virtue so hold on to the light
That's what our future will be
Travelling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Travelling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start
Travelling down my own road
Watching the signs as I go
Travelling down my own road
Watching the signs as I go
Travelling, travelling
Watching the signs as I go
Hand fits giving so do it
That's what the Gospel said to me
Life fits living so let your judgments go
That's how our future shoulder be
Travelling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Travelling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start
Travelling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Travelling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Travelling, travelling
Watching the signs as they go

Frozen
Frozen
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open
Mmmm if I could melt your heart
Mmmm we'd never be apart
Mmmm give yourself to me
Mmmm you hold the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you, my heart will be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmmm if I could melt your heart
Mmmm we'd never be apart
Mmmm give yourself to me
Mmmm you hold the key
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmmm if I could melt your heart
Mmmm we'd never be apart
Mmmm give yourself to me
Mmmm you hold the key

The power of goodbye
The power of goodbye
Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has be broken, I loved you so
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress you had to burn
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power
Than the power of goodbye
Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has be broken…I loved you so
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress
There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power
Than the power of goodbye
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power
Than the power of goodbye
Learn to say goodbye
I yearn to say goodbye

To have and not to hold
To have and not to hold
To have and not to hold
So hot yet so cold
My heart is in your hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me to have my way
To love but not to keep
To laugh but not to weep
Your eyes they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay
Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I got straigh to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told you're to have not to hold
To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
I'm walking on a wire
And there's no more at all
To break my fall

Little star
Little star
Never forget who you are, little star
Never forget how to dream, butterfly
God gave a present to me
Made of flesh and bones
My life, my soul
You make me spirit whole
Never forget who you are, little star
Shining brighter than all the stars in the sky
Never forget how to dream, butterfly
Never forget where you come from, from love
You are a treasure to me
You are my star, you breathe
New life, into my broken heart
Never forget who you are, little star
Never forget how to dream, butterfly
May the angels protect you
And sadness forget you, little star
There's no reason to weep
Lay your head down to sleep, little star
Shining bright
You breathe, new life,into my broken heart
Never forget who you are, little star
Shining brighter than all the stars in the sky
Never forget how to dream, butterfly
Flying higher all the bones in the sky
Never forget where you come from, from love
Little star, little star, little star
From love

Mer girl
Mer girl
I ran from my house
That cannot contain me
From the man that I cannot keep
From my mother who haunts me
Even though she's gone
From my doughtier that never sleeps
I ran from the noise and the silence
From the traffic on the streets
I ran to the treetops
I ran to the sky
Out of the lake
Into the rain
That matted my hair
And soaked my shoes and skin
Hid my tears, hid my fears
I ran to the forest
I ran to the trees
I ran and ran
I was looking for me
I ran past the churches
And the crooked old mailbox
Past the apple orchards
And the lady that never talks
Up into the hills
I ran into cemetery
And thought about death
I ran to the lake
Up into the hills
I ran and ran
I'm looking there still
And I saw the crumbling tombstones
The forgotten names
I tasted the rain
I cursed the angels
I tasted my fears
And the ground gave way beneath my feet
And the earth took me in her arms
Leaves covered my face
Ants marched across my back
The black sky opened up
Blinding me
I ran to the forest
I ran to the trees
I ran and I ran
I was looking for me
I ran to the lakes
I ran to the hill
I ran and I ran
I'm looking there still
And I smelt her burning flesh
Her rotting bones
Her decay
I ran and I ran
I'm still running today

Written by Madonna and William Orbit

Has to be
Has to be
Breathe in, breathe out
I say a little prayer
How the gods above
Could be so unfair
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
Go on, go on
Don't sit there like a fool
You've graduated from
A different kind of school
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
I should be glad that I'm alive
It could have been much worse
I might have never loved at all
And never known what I am worth
How the gods above
Could be so unfair
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
