1. I'LL EXPLAIN LATER

STREAM/BUY:

CREDITS:

Written + performed by: Cleo Alexandra

Produced by: Keith Olsen + J.J Farris 

Never keep track of time, too much is lost to yesterday

Logic doesn’t make for a good time, illusions seem better that way

Don’t ask me who I am, I should know this apparently

(I’m so lost)

I’m lost, so lost, so, lost in translation (I’m so lost)

I’m lost, so lost, so, lost in translation (I’m so lost)

I’m lost, so lost, so, lost in translation

CHORUS:

Confuse you, maybe later,I’ll explain myself lost in translation

Find me in yesterday, if I confuse you I’ll explain later

Sky makes me feel so small. Who am I to think my problems matter?

The sound from the pressure, breaking every single bone

Don't tell me what to do my mistakes they are my own

(Im so lost)

I’m lost, so lost, so, lost in translation (I’m so lost)

I’m lost ,so lost, so, lost in translation (I’m so lost)

I’m lost, so lost, so, lost in translation

CHORUS:

Confuse, you maybe later, I’ll explain myself lost in translation

Find me in yesterday, if I confuse you I’ll explain later

I tell myself the rest doesn’t matter 

I could just refuse and live in tatters

who really cares? lets just abuse every right we have tonight 

Let’s all pretend that somehow we matter

so I confuse you? but you wont understand

(Im so lost)

I’m lost, so lost, so, lost in translation (I’m so lost)

I’m lost ,so lost, so, lost in translation (I’m so lost)

I’m lost, so lost, so, lost in translation

CHORUS:

Confuse you, maybe later, I’ll explain myself lost in translation

Find me in yesterday, if I confuse you I’ll explain later

Confuse you, maybe later, I’ll explain myself lost in translation

Find me in yesterday, if I confuse you I’ll explain later

I’ll explain later  

I’ll explain later 

I’ll explain later 

I’ll explain later

You can keep that red dress

I’m not the only one it will fit but it will never look the same

You will not see that dress on me

So unravel the thread 

Unravel the thread

Unravel the thread 

Unravel 

That dress remains the pain 

That dress wont fit the same 

That dress won’t look the same 

That dress remains stained

So tear it, tear it, tear it, tear it 

Rip it at the seams, rip it like you ripped me

You can keep that red dress

I’m not the only one it will fit but it will never look the same

You will not see that dress on me

So unravel the thread 

Unravel the thread

Unravel the thread 

Unravel

That shade of red (on me)

How it matched my skin (on me) 

Imagine me in it then suffer on the image

So tear it, tear it, tear it, tear it 

Rip it at the seams, rip it like you ripped me

You can keep that red dress

I’m not the only one it will fit, but it will never look the same

You will not see that dress on me

So unravel the thread 

Unravel the thread

Unravel the thread 

Unravel

Unravel

You say to me would you wear it, if I repair it?

It still has your scent but with every passing day, its fading away, you’re fading away

That’s when I say, we could have made it in the world we created

I miss it most days, I wanted to stay

Begging me to wear it, want to see me wear it, but I’m going to tear it, tear it

You can keep that red dress

I’m not the only one it will fit but it will never look the same

You will not see that dress on me

Begging me to wear it 

Want to see me wear it 

But I’m going tear it, tear it

Rip it at the seams 

Rip it like you ripped me

Rip it at the seams 

Rip it like you ripped me

Written + performed by: Cleo Alexandra

Produced by: Keith Olsen + J.J Farris 

Just another man, taken. Desire (you know, you know, your taken by desire)

Just another man, taken. Desire (you know, you know, your taken by desire)

Just another man, taken. Desire, desire (you know, you know, your taken by desire, desire)

Well I saw you kissing and touching in the hallway

You’re all over her even though you’re loving me

You came running, screaming, baby, baby look at me 

It really didn't mean a thing

Lipstick is smeared all over your face

Perfume on you smells familiar to me

I realise that somehow I’ve been so blind

How long have you been tricking me?

Just another man taken, taken by desire

Just another man taken, taken by desire

Just another man taken, taken by desire, (desire) desire (desire)

Your second chance is just dust, dust in my eyes

Now I know all our conversations had crossed wires

Just another man taken, taken by desire, (desire) desire (desire)

I saw you follow me out onto the street 

Your shirt is unbuttoned you’ve got nothing on your feet

I don’t know what you think your going to say to me, when I had my suspicions and now I’ve got all the proof

Lipstick is smeared all over your face

Perfume on you smells familiar to me

I realise that somehow I’ve been so blind

How long have you been tricking me?

Just another man taken, taken by desire

Just another man taken, taken by desire

Just another man taken, taken by desire, (desire) desire (desire)

Your second chance is just dust, dust in my eyes

Now I know all our conversations had crossed wires

Just another man taken, taken by desire, (desire) desire (desire)

You swore I’d have no regrets, no you wouldn’t do it twice

So is this how you’re proven that to me tonight? 

You swore I’d have no regrets, no you wouldn’t do it twice

So is this how you’re proven that to me tonight?

5. WHO CAN IT BE NOW

STREAM/BUY:

CREDITS:

Songwriter: Colin James Hay

Performed by: Cleo Alexandra + Rick Springfield

Produced by: Keith Olsen + J.J Farris 

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired and I'm not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide

​

Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

​

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
If he hears, he'll knock all day
I'll be trapped and here I'll have to stay
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
I like it here with my childhood friend
Here they come, those feelings again!

​

Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

​

Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It's not the future that I can see
It's just my fantasy, yeah

​

Ooh, who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Who can it be now?
(Oh, wee oh) Who can it, Who can it
(Ooh ooh) Who can it be now?
(Ooh ooh wee) Yeah yeah yeah

6. LET GO OF MY HAND

STREAM/BUY:

CREDITS:

Written + performed by: Cleo Alexandra

Produced by: Keith Olsen + J.J Farris 

If I let go of your hand I know you’ll come back to me

We both need that space it doesn’t mean I want to leave

Even when where not together I recognise what’s you is me

When you look back at me I don’t know what I’m fearing?

So can you let go of my hand because I trust you so please trust in me

What we have runs so deep they would drown from it, please

I know I’m the only girl that gets your soul your hurt 

You’ve tied an anchor to my feet we would sink so fucking deep 

When you look back at me I don't know what I’ve been fearing?

Even if I wasn’t looking you were meant to find me

So can you let go of my hand because I trust you so please trust in me

No this doesn’t mean that I want to leave

No this doesn’t mean that I want to leave

No this doesn’t mean that I want to leave

Boy you’ve got to loosen the reigns, that you pull on me 

Why are you so possessive of me?

My identity’s what I’m trying to keep with me

When you start to get all caught up in the paranoia 

You ain’t gonna see a thing except for what you want to see

You know what heights we can reach and you know you can only reach them with me, with me 

Right here with me

Just let go of my hand

Just let go of my hand

Just let go of my hand (I don't want to leave)

Just let go of my hand 

No this doesn’t mean that I want to leave (Just let go of my hand) 

No this doesn’t mean that I want to leave (Just let go of my hand, I don't want to leave)

No this doesn’t mean that I want to leave (I don't want to leave)

Just let go, just let go of my hand 

Just let go, just let go of my hand ( I don't want to leave)

Just let go of my hand, just let go of my hand

Just let go of my hand because I know, yeah I know

If I let go of your hand I know you’ll come back to me

We both need that space it doesn’t mean I want to leave

Even when where not together I recognise what’s you is me

When you look back at me I don’t know what I’m fearing?

What we have runs so deep they would drown from it please

I know I’m the only girl that gets your soul your hurt 

You’ve tied an anchor to my feet we would sink so fucking deep 

When you look back at me I don't know what I’ve bee fearing?

Even if I wasn’t looking you were meant to find me

So can you let go of my hand because I trust you so please trust in me

No this doesn’t mean that I want to leave

No this doesn’t mean that I want to leave, I don't want to leave

7. EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD

STREAM/BUY:

CREDITS:

Songwriters: Roland OrzabalIan, Stanley + Chris Hughes

Performed by: Cleo Alexandra

Produced by: Keith Olsen + J.J Farris 

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you

Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature

Everybody wants to rule the world

​

It's my own desire
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most

Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever

Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you

So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it

Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
