All that you wanted
You won’t aspire to be like me
And I’ll never fake it
You can’t escape from where I’ve been
But I’ll make you see
And I’ll make you believe
And I’ll twist inside your mind
This business of sleeping
I can’t conceive this selling state
All that you’re feeling
I’ll make you feel it lying awake at night
I did that
So I’ll make you see
And I’ll make you believe
Yeah, I’ll twist inside your mind
Yeah, I’ll make you see
And I’ll make you believe
And I’ll twist inside your mind
I only wish that you could play inside this cage
The train comes round again
Twenty-five times in one day
But the train ain't fast enough
My heart beats track beats away
Yeah
'Cuz we're like animals on fire
No, we're like a gentle firefly
And, we're like a hunger for one another
Rolling down the river wide
You said it ain't like you to call
Just a tongue-tied fool
Now rest your green on my
Honey, I'll follow your fingers hunting me
I'll whisper my love for you
'Cuz we're like animals on fire
No, we're like a gentle firefly
And, we're like a hunger for one another
There's no one in the way
There's no one in the way for us
'Cuz I'll hold the weight for you
Yes, I'll hold the weight for you
The train comes round again
Twenty-five times in one day
But the train ain't fast enough
Father sings but I hear you
Father opens his door
Stevie won't get the message and I
Sit here wasting time
I laid here just how you wanted
I laid here while you prayed
I can't seem to imagine life without you here
Callie, won't you forgive me
He said he'd open my eyes
All this business of territory only seems to surprise
For all the lovers and fakers
Those who can't stop
Silence is the voice I miss the most
For all the kidders who kid themselves for anything
For you
Don't call me dear one more time
Pills and letters won't miss me
'Cause I can't carry on this far
My seams have opened a void that can't be filled with
Tears however much I cry
For all the lovers and fakers
Those who can't stop
Silence is the voice I miss the most
For all the kidders who kid themselves for loving you
Don't call me dear
A man so frugal
A philistine right in his mind
A man so frugal
For all the lovers and fakers
Those who can't stop
Silence is the voice I miss the most
For all the kidders who kid themselves for anything
For you
Haven't you heard?
I'm stuck on a verse
I'm stuck on a boy who fills me with joy
I knew I was wrong to
jump straight on into the picture so pretty
But he is so pretty to me
And he doesn't know just how far I would go
Just to kiss him
He doesn't know how I pine
So I make whirlpools
And watch him sparkle
And we'll make love make magic
And haven't you heard?
I'm fallen head first
And he loves me so
We're two in a row
Just look in his eyes
They're blue as the skies
are picture so pretty
but he is so pretty to me
So I make whirlpools
And watch him sparkle
And we'll make love make magic
But I couldn't tell you
Just tell that it takes you
'Cause words don't make
what I make with you
Haven't you heard?
I'm stuck on a verse
I'm stuck on a boy who fills me with joy
I knew I was wrong
to jump straight on into this picture so pretty
I've been trying hard to be somebody else
But no one can entertain that I could be anything else
Don't waste your time on throw away love, seas the day
love
It seems all you can do is give away love, throw away
love
So I've been trying hard to keep hold of my heart, love
is true, they say
I must have been lying to myself anyway
I'm done with trying
I can't help what I am, yes I'm easily swayed
And I can't keep love away, but I don't want to anyway
Don't waste your time on throw away love, seas the day
love
It seems all you can do is give away love, throw away
love
No, don't waste your time on throw away love, seas the
day love
It seems all you can do is give away love, throw away
love
So I'll just have to except that I'm easily bowled over
by you
Though I know that you'll go, so don' throw me a smile
Because you know from the moment you walk in the door
You don't know about me
And you don't care what affair still haunts me
And you don't know what it is about me
And I don't care, I don't care if you love me
Tonight we'll be whoever we like
Tonight we'll leave our troubles behind
Tonight in each other we'll hide
Tonight will be alright...
And I don't know about you
And I don't care about the girl behind you
And I don't know what it is about you
It makes me want to run and jump inside you
Tonight in each other we'll hide
Tonight we'll leave our troubles behind
Tonight we'll be whoever we like
Tonight, tonight will be alright...
You don't understand why my heart feels bad
From the love you hold out in your hand
And you offer it without command
I just don't know why I can't get you inside,
Why I need you tonight...
Cause you don't know about me,
And you don't care how this affair will break me.
And why should I care about you, if you don't care,
Hurry on home, all the love is gone
Hurry on home for me
This village has a voice, it’s ringing through my ears
Hurry on home for me
Too many faces I almost defeated
I never fell this far
But now that I see through the thin air in here, I see
That you just don’t care
I’m just the talk of the town
Famous for fooling around
But honey don’t corner me in
Till I can reign in here
‘Cause I'm just the talk of the town
The obvious place for stealing your beautiful crown
So hurry on home, all the love is gone
Hurry on home for me
This headache got my heart, it’s pounding like a drum
Come drum it out of me
‘Cause now that I see through the thick empty air, I see
That you just don’t care
I’m just the talk of the town
Famous for fooling around
But honey don’t corner me in
Till I can reign in here
‘Cause I'm just the talk of the town
The obvious place for stealing your beautiful crown
Stealing your beautiful crown
Safe driving to Mars, safe driving to Venus
My past don’t mean anything to me
Pray, twinkle again
Pray, and I don’t wish on you to hard
'Cause clovers don’t care about me
And I can’t afford to lose you, star
Oh, I can’t afford to lose you
I sit here again, smoke bubbles blown only in threes
I can’t rely upon that
So pray, twinkle again
Pray, and I don’t wish on you to hard
‘Cause I miss your dance with the moon
And I can’t afford to lose you, star
Oh, I can’t afford to lose you
I can’t afford to lose you, star
I can’t afford to lose you
Hey mister magpie
You’re staying at your welcome
Hey mister machine
Your walls keep falling down
I can’t afford to lose you, star
No, I can’t afford to lose you
Oh, I can’t afford to lose you, star
I can’t afford to lose you
I tasted salt air when I saw the Seafarer,
He came from nowhere,
I tried hard not to stare,
And into the night air he laid my heart bare.
I felt the warm sand under my cold hands,
And seeped in his sun tan,
It wasn’t what I had planned.
‘Cause he has the heart of a good man,
A heart I don’t understand but I’m gonna learn about
I want to keep this man; I want to sing about it,
I want to call his name; I want to swim into it.
Please, let him have me,
For all that I’m worth and all that I know.
Please, let him have me,
For all that I’m worth, he’s at the centre of my earth.
I tasted salt air when I kissed the Seafarer,
And into his arms deeper,
I fell from old keepers.
And under the warm sand I buried my cold hands,
And into the sea I swam,
Leaving those old plans.
‘Cause he has the heart of a good man,
A heart I don’t understand, but I’m gonna learn about
I want to keep this man; I want to sing about it,
I want to call his name; I want to swim into it.
Please, let him have me,
For all that I’m worth and all that I know.
Please, let him have me,
It’s the same old lies
It’s the same old, she said
That I can’t abide
But you know I can’t release myself
It’s the same old sins
It’s the same old “capture me a sunny evening”
And all this means
Said, I can’t release
Release myself
Myself
I’m hanging on to life
I used to feel this solitude
And I’m never going back
Still hanging on to life
Yeah, I still feel this solitude
And I can’t release
Release
Release
Release myself
Myself
Myself
Myself
Release
Release
Release
If only you knew
This big shop believer’s draining blue
And how did you wake it
This left side of me is shining through
This quicksand’s pulling me down under
I don’t even see it’s killing me
All these caramel illusions
Sinking slowly
Why don’t you lay here?
These two suns of mine
Are shining for different reasons here
I’ll be a liar for too long
I’m sinking here
But still I care
I care
This quicksand’s pulling me down under
I don’t even see it’s killing me
All these caramel illusions
Sinking slowly
Wise up
All these bruises it’s all that you wanted
All these creases I am
Pull these pieces I am
This quicksand’s pulling me down under
I don’t even see it’s killing me
All these caramel illusions
Straight, the lines I walk, I know it’s always only up
to me,
Give me strength to see this through
I know there’s nothing you can do.
I had it all for just one second.
I never want to have to make the choice,
Again, again, again, again I’m on the stage.
Calling on the science, are we all a mutual liar?
Well I kill the words that keep me here,
I know they’re nearly all for you.
I had it all for just one second.
I never want to have to make the choice,
Again, again, again, again I’m on the stage.
Well, wouldn’t you like to be here in my place?
I didn’t think so,
Wouldn’t you like to be here on the stage?
I didn’t think so,
Wouldn’t you like to be here in my place?
I didn’t think so, I didn’t think so, I didn’t think
Imagine what it’s like to have to pour your bleeding
heart into,
A song for all to hear,
You’ve no idea just what it does to you.
I had it all for just one second.
I never want to have to make the choice,
Again, again, again, again I’m on the stage.
Well, wouldn’t you like to be here in my place?
I didn’t think so,
Wouldn’t you like to be here on the stage?
I didn’t think so,
Wouldn’t you like to be here in my place?
I didn’t think so, I didn’t think so, I didn’t think
Do you hear the words I mumble
Do you care if I should stumble
Do you curse the day I met you
Because I left you
But I won’t forget you
Could it be that I have faltered
I remember why I altered
I left you for another man
And he doesn’t deserve me
I know this inside
But he holds my heart
Between light and the dark
And I, I wish it was you
Yes I, I wish it was you
Oh I
When I think of how you held me
Like I was the one and only
I wish that I could love you
Like I ought to
Like I wanted to
I could have stayed in sweeter days
I felt the sun had just begun
But I left you for another man
And he doesn’t deserve me
I know this inside
But he Keeps my heart
Between light and the dark
And I, I wish it was you
Yes I, I wish it was you
i've been blaming you
i wanted to believe you were cruel
i wanted you to know i was through
but you know just as well as i do
that i can't help my heart
i can't keep you out of sight
i won't give you up without a fight
do you know that I'm here
do you know that it's still you my dear
do you know that I'm here
and i left my heart with you in June last year
so it's been one whole year
and i still think of you my dear
and just
when i think
i might be clear
i write a song like this one here
cause i can't help my heart
i can't keep you out of sight
i won't give you up without a fight
do you know that i'm here
do you know that it's still you my dear
do you know that I'm here
do you know that it's still you my dear
do you know that I'm here
Calling up you on the phone
‘Cause seeing is just too undone
I never had you on my mind
Like a piece or a fraction a day
Like crust in the ground
I'll try to not be found, here
This June bug’s in love with my heart
And all for the sake of that pretty dress poses
I'm hooked on this mistress of my name
I'll be caring, oh
Now everything’s foot long to me
This gravity I like just won’t be here
I faked a stand on the stake
Please come take me away, from here
‘Cause this June bug’s in love with my heart
And all for the sake of that blood red moon stars all night
I want to be in your shadow, oh
Hey…
‘Cause this June bug’s in love with my heart
And all for the sake of that blood red moon stars all night
Well it seems like I'm losing all the time
I gotta run up a bill
'Till this dark horse is leaving
And I know you'll be leaving
But a memory of distant
You put a crown on my head
But I'm wishing you never had
'Cause I have less than I ever have
But I know
When this streetl amp fades
You're scheming up your next parade
And the time slowly climbs
'Till you're here
Days darken my days
I watch you play or pray
It's never over
I'll be waiting here wishing you were over here
It seems destiny means
How long you'll play unfair
It's never over
I'll be waiting here wishing you really cared
When I'm seeing that look that's in your eyes
You know I will be here
I'll be giving you anything
Always giving you anything
But I know
When this street lamp fades
You're scheming up your next parade
Then you're gone
Creeping home
And this feeling creeps in
Alone
Days darken my days
I watch you play or pray
It's never over
I'll be waiting here wishing you were over here
It seems destiny means
How long you will play unfair
It's never over
I'll be waiting here wishing you really cared
But it seems like I'm losing all the time
(It's never over)
Gonna run up a bill
(It's never over)
(It's never over)
How long must I think that you don't care
(It's never over)
You keep on changing your mind
(It's never over)
You're coming a long long way
I wonder if you should stay
Oh but what if you could say
Everything to make my day
So take all of your time darling
Y'know I'm not dreaming away, am I?
Just tell me all you're thinking
At every step of the way
'Cause when you get here we can play
Oh when you get here what will I say?
Oh when you get here we'll make a day of it
And we'll wonder - is this it?
My heart is racing
To think that you're in reach
Goosebumps and all those highs and lows
Will you understand how it feels?
'Cause when you get here I will play
This one song that I wrote today
Oh when you get here can we make a day of it
And just wonder - is this it?
Goosebumps and all those highs and lows
Still strung out on a sharp stutter mouth,
He left me wounded on the sand,
There are no healing hands,
He left an arrow in my heart.
No one else can make the dark silver melt,
Like a sword is in the stone,
It keeps my blood in flow,
To pull it out would turn the lights out.
Quick shards of light on my pillow,
Remind me that I haven’t let go.
I cling on for dear life till he says so.
He signed his name with a burning flame,
All across my bones, my aching shield,
To him alone I yield,
I wished a hundred times I could feel it.
Quick shards of light on my pillow,
Remind me that I haven’t let go.
Holding me loose by the elbow,
And guiding me through what he won’t show,
Holes in my jacket
Keep letting the rain in
Say that you’ll leave me now
What are you saying?
But I know you’ll be back tomorrow
Yes I know you, you’re only saying
Another night drinking now
Who is it this time?
Am I supposed to sit down alone and keep quiet for you?
But I know you don’t really mean it
Yes I know you, you only say you need a friend to go talk to
Say you need a few minutes more
You say you need anything but just not me
You know you keep closing the door
You know you keep closing the door
Holes in my jacket keep letting the rain in
I stand out alone and watch
Your window plays two images of you
All that I know you’ll be back tomorrow
Yes I know you, you only say you need a friend to go talk to
Say you need a few minutes more
You say you need anything but just not me
You know you keep closing the door
You know you keep closing the door
That I’m still wearing your ring
And I’m still telling you my thoughts
Though you’re not listening
I’m still holding on
Say you need a friend to go talk to
Say you need a few minutes more
You say you need anything but just not me
You know you keep closing the door
you just don't know
where the time goes
sitting there in your chair with the lamp on
walking late just to stay right on top of the landslide
you like to hide behind
waiting for peace of mind
and I just don't know
where the time goes
sitting here my career moving faster
writing songs that belong to my master
the greatest love
that I thought came from above
but have you moved on from my love
this is getting silly now
I have to walk away
I close the door behind me
and just look the other way
but you don't know how hard
you don't know how hard
you don't know how hard
you don't know how hard
you don't know how hard
you don't know how hard
how hard it is
I know that I
always get by
filling time with the crimes I keep regretting
and hoping with enough time I'll be forgetting
the greatest love
'cause you never think of us
quite like I remember us
this is getting silly now
I have to walk away
I close the door behind me
and just look the other way
but you don't know how hard
you don't know how hard
you don't know how hard
you don't know how hard
you don't know how hard
you don't know how hard
If I could leave this town, I'd bold
Enjoying the lost and found
And start all over
I crib the open road
Like birds in summer
A chance to break the mould
Is all that I’m after
Can you offer anything, doctor
Help me start again
Moving forward
Without awkward moves
I would be brave
And I could leave this goldfish sea
And I could start to believe in me
And after the sun the rain would fall
But I wouldn’t mind at all
And if I could just escape this body
I know I wouldn’t fake for just anybody
I claw my heart for you
And keep it until I was okay with what I do
That’s all that I’m after
Can you offer me anything, doctor
Help me to start again
Moving forward
Without awkward moves
And I would be brave
And I could leave this goldfish sea
And I could start to believe in me
And after the sun the rain would fall
But I wouldn’t mind at all
Tip-toeing where you shine your light,
Stealing my heart into the night,
And springing it on me just when the time is right.
You told me about her and all the plans you're making,
Lost in the woods with two crumbs for taking.
Now I don't want to share
Your fingers through my hair.
But if you keep calling my name,
I'll bury my head in the sand hoping you'll stay.
Why cant you be different from the rest?
Oh, won't you surprise me instead?
I've had it up to here,
Please just be my darling, my dear.
I knew it was hard for you to say
Quivering like a leaf as we lay.
I guess that I could share
Your fingers through my hair.
But if you keep calling her name,
I'll bury my head in the sand hoping you'll change.
Why can't you be different from the rest?
Oh, won't you surprise me instead?
I've had it up to here.
But, please just be my darling, my dear.
I wish I could be there
I'd cut off all my hair
And make a rope
And pray and hope he'd dare
I'd row up in a boat
And wear a pitch-black coat
And climb aboard
And run towards my love
Who could stop me when he's in danger?
I know he's far, but I need to save him
I need to bring him my love
'Cause there's no other love like ours
There's no love like ours
Hang on in there, my love
Sit tight, my love
I'd turn out all the lights
And hide him out of sight
And gather all my strength
So I could fight
Who can get in my way when I love him?
I know he's far, but I need to save him
I need to bring him my love
'Cause there's no other love like ours
There's no love like ours
Hang on in there, my love
Sit tight, my love
We'll run away and hop around, love
And all the way we'll know it's real love
There's no love like ours
There's no love like ours
There's no love like ours
No love like ours
Hang on in there, my love
I’ll sit here and watch you
I'll, I’ll just sit back and watch you
Don’t wait for love won’t wait for you
Just speak so softly I'll break down
Won’t you be the one, won’t you be the one, won’t you be the one
that I'm waiting for
So I, I just sit back and wait for you
I, I just sit back and wait for you
Don’t be no fool when your heart beats
Won’t you open my arms, won’t you wake me
Won’t you be the one, won’t you be the one, won’t you be the one
that I'm waiting for, oooh
Oh, won’t you just keep watching me
Oh, won’t you just keep watching me
Oh, won’t you just keep watching me
Dadadam, dadadadadam
Dadadam, dadadadadam
Ladadam, ladadadadam
It's that time of year again
I think I'll stay in tonight
My dogs are barking
Shaking scared
We don't light fireworks in this house
I hate the way they shoot and sparkle
It reminds me of a time I often clung to
And when I see the Catherine wheel turn
it only leaves me with heartburn
Cause it's the 5th of November
It's the 5th of November
It's the 5th and these fireworks make me blue
Cause it's the 5th of November
It's the 5th of November
It's the 5th and I remember rain
It's cold out there
The grass is wet
And I don't care for muddy in my shoes
I can see them from the window
See them if I want to
Leave me here with arms that I can cling to
Children getting louder and louder
May you roll around the sky like thunder
And later all my friends will come to tell me
about amazing fireworks they've seen
Cause it's the 5th of November
It's the 5th of November
It's the 5th and these fireworks make me blue
Cause it's the 5th of November
It's the 5th of November
Don't you be saying that I'm lucky
Don't you no no don't you dare say it's ok
Don't come around being happy
Don't you be crying without me
Cause I'll fall again
If I see your face again my love
And I've done all my crying for you love
So don't break my heart again
Don't break my heart again
Cause if I see your face again
You'll break my heart again
So don't you go rolling them blue eyes
Don't you go pissing on my fire
Down to the bed where we laid
Down to the park where we saved ourselves
I cannot be in matrimony with a dream of love
Like on this silver screams my love
So don't break my heart again
Don't break my heart again
Don't break my heart again
Don't break my heart again
Cause if I see your face again
You'll break my heart
You'll break my heart
Betty knows about her man
And anything goes what she can
Pure as the gold he sent her, her heart is an open book
But to fight is to feel her heart get hurt
I never sugared up my shames
That’s that, you know it’s no mistake
And I always played by the rules that you had set
But you broke them and pushed me away, lest we forget
She is my own Caroline now
She has no heart but she dreams in old fashion ways
And if you want her to find her
I’ll help you on your way
I love her from the distance
She always beckons me to play
And if I knew that should stay for a little while
I would see that you get your deserves, don’t you dare smile
She is my own Caroline now
She has no heart but she dreams in old fashion ways
And if you want her to find her
I’ll help you on your way
I'll help you on your way
‘Cause I'm a lie, you always said I'd love
To my surprise I'll ever worship your horrifies
The dust in my eyes
Please, don’t you dare come burst in here
‘Cause Betty’s not in here
She is my own Caroline now
She has no heart but she dreams in old fashion ways
And if you want her to find her
I’ll help you on your way
I felt the earth when we met,
When I held your hand, can’t forget,
And I saw you smile as it lifted me upwards a mile.
I felt your eyes like a June sun,
As soon as you entered the room, one
Tiniest moment and I was left open.
Open to the magic that you seem to master,
And though my love is tragic you awkwardly answered.
So I said “Be Mine, Be mine, Be my love,
Be Mine, Be Mine, Be my love,
Be Mine, Be Mine and I’ll be yours.”
So I thought I might take a chance,
When you tried but you couldn’t dance,
And when you stepped closer I almost fell over.
Over from the magic that you seem to master,
And though my love is tragic you awkwardly answered.
So I said “Be Mine, Be mine, Be my love,
Be Mine, Be Mine, Be my love,
Be Mine, Be Mine and I’ll be yours.”
Does it touch you there
Just to know I care?
Does it all make sense?
Do you love that I love what you are inside?
“Be Mine, Be mine, Be my love,
Be Mine, Be Mine, Be my love,
Be Mine, Be Mine and I’ll be yours.
Be Mine, Be mine, Be my love,
Be Mine, Be Mine, Be my love,
I have learnt not to ask, not to let him know I’m
feeling,
‘Cause in a cup he collects all that I was ever
dreaming,
Then he scatters it to the sea and says he’s leaving,
And suddenly I feel that I’ve stopped breathing.
I can’t pretend to be strong, not when he’s the one I’m
needing,
And they are wrong when they tell me I’d do better just
to leave him,
‘Cause he takes me to a place that I can breath in,
But all that I can do is watch him leaving.
Why can’t I think of anything before him?
Am I just a soul waiting for him?
I don’t want to know,
No, it’s better not to know,
Then he can come and go as he pleases.
So I have learnt not to ask, not to let him know that I
miss him,
‘Cause I am so terrified to cool the fire in case I
lose him,
And I know he doesn’t know just what he’s doing,
And he has no idea how far I’m falling.
Why can’t I think of anything before him?
Am I just a soul waiting for him?
I don’t want to know,
No, it’s better not to know.
He doesn’t want to show,
So it’s better not to know,
You were always right,
You were always sure as hell that I might
Get off lightly,
Head in the clouds with only cheap red wine for advice,
But you were alright.
And you could cause a scene,
It made me sick to know that you could always come
clean,
Always right,
Head in the clouds with only cheap red wine for advice,
You were my vice,
‘Cause you sting with the strength of a thousand bees,
You always get what you need,
But I’m not like you; I wish I was like you.
You don’t care for anything that I feel,
You’re always spinning a reel,
You’re that part of me that can sting like a thousand
bees.
You could get so high,
High on life that I just couldn’t stomach
And I always tried,
To fix the mess that you would leave behind,
And you never cry.
‘Cause you sting with the strength of a thousand bees,
You always get what you need,
But I’m not like you; I wish I was like you.
You don’t care for anything that I feel,
You’re always spinning a reel,
You’re that part of me that can sting like a thousand
bees.
The wine starts flowing and my wounded heart,
Goes out the window making way for the dark,
You’re putting me in situations that just don’t seem
fair,
And you just don’t care.
‘Cause you sting with the strength of a thousand bees,
You always get what you need,
But I’m not like you; I wish I was like you.
You don’t care for anything that I feel,
You’re always spinning a reel,
You’re that part of me that can sting like a thousand
I wish I could be there
I'd cut off all my hair
And make a rope
And pray and hope he'd dare
I'd row up in a boat
And wear a pitch-black coat
And climb aboard
And run towards my love
Who could stop me when he's in danger?
I know he's far, but I need to save him
I need to bring him my love
'Cause there's no other love like ours
There's no love like ours
Hang on in there, my love
Sit tight, my love
I'd turn out all the lights
And hide him out of sight
And gather all my strength
So I could fight
Who can get in my way when I love him?
I know he's far, but I need to save him
I need to bring him my love
'Cause there's no other love like ours
There's no love like ours
Hang on in there, my love
Sit tight, my love
We'll run away and hop around, love
And all the way we'll know it's real love
There's no love like ours
There's no love like ours
There's no love like ours
No love like ours
Hang on in there, my love
