Album:

Above and Beyond (MTV Unpugged)

Long version (MTV unplugged): 
Well I know it must be hard to
fall in love with guy like me
I don't blame you for the choice you make
I just want you to be free
But the pain is never easy
And I know it's not your fault
But all of the stones that hit me
This one knocked me to the floor


Standard version: 
She was an alcoholic artist with 
too much make-up round her eyes 
and I never knew her real name, 
she was sunbeam wrapped in lies. 
But I love her and I'm sorry 
and that's all there is to say. 
It's like fairy from the ancient time 
and I hope it stays that way.


And when I woke up on your kitchen floor 
with a headache made in hell 
and the flowers that I gave you 
smiled at me from the window pane. 
Then I thought I must be crazy 
'cause I'm feeling kind of good.
And then when satan helped me up again 
it was then I understood.


Well I was never meant to be a good boy 
I was never meant to go to school 
Well it's guys like me who get somewhere 
'Cause everybody pity a fool.
Now it's payback for the rainy days, 
now it's no more me and you. 
Well I got mine, you got yours, babe 
now it's payback.
Now it's me against the world! 


It was the last time I forgave you...
