It's not my fault
It can't be my fault
That you speak to me the way you do
Now I'm split in two
I'm half me and half you
But I hate us both, don't you?
No of course you don't of course you don't
You say life is peachy without me
Of course you don't of course you don't
You say life is peachy without me
It's not your fault
It can't be your fault
That I let you crawl inside my head
Cos you know my places
And you know that face
But I hate this taste, don't you?
No of course you don't of course you don't
You say life is peachy without me
Of course you don't of course you don't
You say life is peachy without me
Un-grip me
Un-learn me
Un-grip me
It's no-ones fault
It's nobody's fault
That I fell on you and you on me
That's what humans do
Then they pass on through
But I think we can't, don't you?
No of course you don't of course you don't
You say life is peachy without me
Of course you don't of course you don't
I wanna dance the tango with chance
I wanna ride on the wire
Cos nothing gets done with dust in your gun
And nobody respects a liar
So Ggoodbye for a while I'm off to explore
Every boundary and every door
Yeah I'm going north
I wanna know where children would go
If they never learnt to be cool
Cos nothing's achieved when pushed up a sleeve
Till nobody thinks you're a fool
So goodbye for a while I'm out to learn more
About who I really was before
Yeah I'm going north
Up where the hunted hide with ease
Under the arms of eye-less trees
Up where the answers fall like leaves
Oh and your love is all I need
Somebody said can ya find the way to God,
I said I found my way in beep-dap-in-do-ba,
Thats how I found the way to God.
Walking down the street sayin' hi hello,
But how far do you think I can go
Before I sing ya the blues dap-in-boo-ba.
Tapping to the beat, singing hi-di-ho,
But how long do you think I can go
before I start having to get in the groove
Cos I know that there will always be a life for me
Because I found my place in history,
As a lover of the beep-dap-in-do-ba,
Thats how I found the way to God.
So your sittin in your seats, and tapping your toes,
how long do ya think you can hold,
before you start having to join in my groove dap-in-do-baa
Cos there's a beat in my feet
As I tumble the sea's
And the waves of ecstacy
And can you feel the vibe
Does it move you inside
Like the way it does to me
Cos I know, that there will never be a doubt in me
Cos Momma told me it was meant to be
I found my baby in the beep-dap-in-do-ba,
thats how I found my way to God.
Bursting with blood my fingertips pulse.
You didn't forget me...at least immediately.
So here I will hover and feed off your love,
I'll listen from the middle instead of above.
Will you fill up my wounds with your styrofoam blood until I forget?
Greed for your love... I bleed through this glove.
So why's it aching when I'm laughing at the world?
Greed for your love...
A quote and a question on a screen suppressed.
I know it's not right 'cause it's a second impression.
But I'd rather I taste my desires of Earth
and fill my mind with jewels for all they are worth
than discover a diamond decays to a rock and time doesn't turn.
Greed for your love...
I bleed through this glove.
So why's it aching when I'm laughing at the world?
Greed for your love...
'Cause who are you... to tell me what to do?
I will unwrap him just like a present
and I will discard him just when I want to thank you...
Greed for your love...
I bleed through this glove.
So why's it aching when I'm laughing at the world?
Greed for your love...
Greed for your love...
I bleed through this glove.
So why's it aching when I'm laughing at the world?
Baby ballerina's hiding somewhere in the corner,
where the shadow wraps around her
and our torches cannot find her,
she will stay there 'til the morning,
crawl behind us as we are yawning,
and she will leave our game to never be the same.
So Grow Tall Sugarcane.
Eat the Soil, Drink the Rain.
But know that they'll chase you if you play their little game.
So run, run fast Sugarcane.
You see my peep show booth is handy.
There's a one way only mirror,
so I can dance here with my hair down,
but i don't see if you get bitter.
and there's a button right beside me
if i happen to want a wall to hide me
if only the ballerina had one too.
So Grow Tall Sugarcane.
Eat the Soil, Drink the Rain.
But know that they'll chase you if you play their little game.
So run, run fast Sugarcane.
And she said always, be afraid.
Yeah you should always, be afraid.
To Grow Tall Sugarcane.
Eat the Soil, Drink the Rain.
But know that they'll chase you if you play their little game.
So run, run fast Sugarcane.
you'd better run, run fast Sugarcane.
Clear the way she's coming through
With her eye-shadow of satin blue
And her fingernails all painted blue
She's a danger you're addicted to
Angela, Angela yo're a danger he's addicted to
So move aside she has arrived
With her baby neck and sleepy eyes
She has heels that walk all over you
She's a danger you're addicted to
Angela, Angela you're a danger he's addicted to
Oh Angela, Angela you're a danger he's addicted to
And I try to be more like you
Speak louder and prouder and hide my love but it spills out
Angela, Angela you're a danger he's addicted to
Oh Angela, Angela you're a danger he's addicted to
Give me my dream and give me a scene
Where you have a past of which you are clean.
Oh, give me a lie.
Tell me you fell 'cos of my grace and not to help you erase her face.
And oh, make it your best lie.
'Cos I'm holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands and if it does
Fall, if you do fall, it's my fault
So I don't wanna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you're gonna give me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you see's a human bandage
Tell me I'd find you're happy inside and if I end this you'll be fine,
Oh, tell me a lie.
Just look at me and say honestly that I'm all you want, not what you need.
And oh, make it your best lie, love,
'Cos I'm holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands
And if it does fall, if it does fall it's my fault.
So I don't wanna be with one more casualty,
'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you see's a human bandage
And I've been playing games
And now I've change my ways
The character I always played
Helped me to forget my name
But now I know,
So get out of my way!
'Cos I'm not gonna be one more casualty
It's been too long since I looked after me ...
I'm not gonna be with one more casualty,
'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you see's a human bandage
I'm not gonna be with one more casualty,
'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you seem to give me is your pain
She ran until her face was numb with cold and
Wore a cotton gown that blazed the night untold.
She ran until her feet refused to hold
So heavy a heart for someone merely ten years old.
And when she reached the river her knees began to shiver,
Her head with pounding voices from home.
Behind her was a vision, a painful apparition
Of a darker world that no-one should know.
Somebody's bed will never be warm again,
The river will keep this friend.
Yeah somebody's bed will never be warm again,
No never again.
She dived beneath the water's icy skin,
Hoping the cold would kill the smell of angry gin,
And her eyes grew wider than they'd ever been
Just wishing the numbness to cut deeper with its pins.
And as her body lay there she decided to stay there
Till darkness came to pull her away.
And beautifully she sank as up river was the bank
Where some bodiless troubles would stay.
Somebody's bed will never be warm again,
The river will keep this friend.
Yeah somebody's bed will never be warm again,
No never again.
Somebody's bed will never be warm again,
The river will keep this friend.
Yeah somebody's bed will never be warm again,
Time blows softly all around us,
But we don't feel it now.
You made much more than a hole in the sky, boy.
You made us hollow on the inside.
So next time, when you're leaving,
Could you at least leave a note?
Next time, when you're leaving,
Could you tell us before you go?
Black wheels roll out a young heart,
As the cold wind cools our eyes.
You left much more than thick salty lips, boy,
You left us wondering why.
So next time, when you're leaving,
Could you at least leave a note?
Next time, when you're leaving,
Could you tell us before you go?
You go, you go, you go...
So next time, when you're leaving,
Katie was a little girl who said "I'll find a way".
Katie was a little girl who said "it'll be ok".
Till one day she found a little bit of something she used to drown.
She said "I'm alive and I am free, but you see I have control over me."
But will you draw the line?
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
And she said, "go".
Katie was a little girl who never found the way.
Katie was a little girl who never was ok.
Cause one day she found a little bit of something she used to drown.
She said "I'm alive and I am free, but you see I have control over me."
But will you draw the line?
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
And she said, "go".
She said "I'm alive and I am free, but you see I have control over me"...
But will you draw the line?
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
And she said, "go".
Maybe I'm just living out the same old stories in and out
But you know that don't make it easier
Time will fly away with me if truth won't stop and let me see
And tell me I am to believe that you and I should never be again
I'm drowning
When the one you leave is the one thing you believe
You say goodbye when underneaths your one belief
That love rules all, conquers all
Its funny how the times that seem unbearable
Are the ones that you don't ever want to end
And when your childhood slips away
You find you face a brand new day
And you know it can't be the same again
'Cause when you leave you stayed in my memory
You say goodbye for now and have a drink for us
And good luck and find your way
Clawing out will sometimes seem so far away
Never knwowing if I'll live to see another day
Never seem to find out what to do
Noone seems to tell you
'Cause you're drowning
When the one you leave is the one thing you believe
You say goodbye when underneaths your one belief
That love rules all, conquers all
That love rules all, it conquers all
It was a blind winter when she headed off
Written on her head was "failure to conform"
She had her left hand apon a stick
But she'd had enough
So she threw away her one way home
She said
"I'm just another girl who wants to know
Just where you think it's written down
this way that we should go."
She said
"I'm just another girl who wants to know
Just where you think it's written down
This way that we should go..."
It was a black winter night as she stumbled on
Aand with every step grew closer to the ground
She knew her one chance of living on
Was to strip away
All the colours that were casting her astray
She said
"I'm just another girl who wants to know
Just where you think it's written down
This way that we should go."
She said "I'm just another girl who wants to know
Just where you think it's written down,
This way that we should go..."
So with a fever of 43 she surrendered there
Ready for the world to take her as their own
But as she lay there the people stared
As they carried on
Feeling terrified of her stripped to the bone
She said
"I'm just another girl who wants to know
Just where you think it's written down
This way that we should go."
She said
"I'm just another girl who wants to know
Just where you think it's written down
How long, how long, how long will we take to come undone?
If you know the answer tell me now and I'll write up a calendar for our count down.
'Cos what if what we see is all, is all we've got?
Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day.
To me some surprising day, any day now...
How come, how come, how come I'm now on a road holding out my thumb?
If you know my destination please buy me the fastest car and throw me the keys.
'Cos what if what we see is all, is all we've got?
Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day.
'Cos finger by finger we're losing grasp and
I'm questioning the reason why nothing beautiful does last...
Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day,
So we've put an end to it this time,
I'm no longer yours and your no longer mine.
You said this hill looks far to steep,
If I'm not even sure
Its me you wanna keep
And its been 10 days without you in my reach
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep
But time has changed
Nothing at all
You 're still the only one that feels like home
I tried cutting the ropes
And I let you go,
But you're still the only one that feels like home.
You won't talk me into it next time
If I'm going away
Your hearts coming too
Cos I miss your hands I miss your face
When I get back lets disappear without a trace
Cos its been 10 days without you in my reach
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep
But time has changed
Nothing at all
You're still the only one that feels like home
I tried cutting the ropes
Tried letting go,
But you're still the only one that feels like home.
So tell me did you really think
Ahh, tell me did you really think I had gone
When you couldn't see me anymore
When you couldn't.
(instrumental)
Cos baby time has changed nothing at all
you're still the only one that feels like home
And oh I tried cutting the ropes
I let you go
But you're still the only one that feels like home
Yeah you're still the only one that feels like home
You're still the only one I've gotta love
Ohh yeah, yeah yeah yeah...
Your warm whispers
Out of the dark they carry my heart
Your warm whispers
Into the dawn they carry me through
And I am weeping warm honey and milk
That you stay surrounding me, surrounding me
Your warm whispers
Letting me drown in a pool of you
Your warm whispers
Keeping the noise from breaking through
And I am weeping warm honey and milk
That you stay surrounding me, surrounding me
Yeah, I am weeping warm honey and milk
That you stay surrounding me
Your warm whispers
Your warm whispers
And I am weeping warm honey and milk
Your warm whispers
Yeah, I am weeping warm honey and milk
Your warm whispers
Your warm whispers
Your warm whispers
I'm done with poetry, I'm done with prose
I'm done with dressing up these words in delicate clothes
I'm done with dancing, on this here box
Like a begging dog
I'm done with smoke screens, and fancy veils
I'm done with all this petty decorating over myself
I'm hanging up these whistles and bells
Cause I can tell:
[Chorus]
That none my tricks work on you
No matter what I do.
You seem to see straight through.
Why don't they work on you?
I'm done with high heels, ribbons and bows.
I'm done with pulling up my skirt so that you rethink saying no.
I've got no cards left up my sleeve.
I've tried everything to please
[Chorus]
But none my tricks work on you
No matter what I do.
You seem to see straight through.
Why don't they work on you?
Guess you should want me the way I am
Truth is I want to be more than that.
Ohhh
So I'm gonna find me someone to believe
Only the versions I show them of me
Yeah I'm gonna find me someone I can
Hold in the palm of my hand
[Chorus]
Cause none my tricks work on you
No matter what I do.
You seem to see straight through.
Why don't they work on you?
Why don't my tricks work?
Why don't my tricks work?
Why don't my tricks work on you baby?
Why don't my tricks work?
Why don't all my tricks work?
Why don't my tricks work on you?
Somebody said, "can you find your way to God?"
I said I've found my way in bi-bap-ba-doo-bap,
that's how I found my way to God.
Walkin' down the street sayin' "hi, hello",
but how long do you think I can go before
I start having to sing you the blues da-ba-doo-bap?
Tappin' to the beat singin' Heidi-ho,
but how long do you think I can go before
I start having to get in the groove da-ba-doo-bap?
'Cause I know that there will never be a doubt in me,
'cause momma told me it was meant to be.
I found my baby in the bi-bap-ba-doo-bap,
that's how I found my way to God.
So you're sitting in your seats and tapping your toes,
but how long do you think you can hold before
you start having to join in my groove da-ba-doo-bap?
And there's a beat in my feet as
I tumble the seas in the waves of ecstasy,
and can you feel the vibe does it move you inside
like the way it does to me?
'Cause I know that there will always be a light for me,
because I've found my place in history.
I've found my baby in the bi-bap-da-doo-bap,
That's how I found my way to God,
That's how I found my way to God,
So we've put an end to it this time.
I'm no longer yours and you're no longer mine.
You said this hill looks far too steep
If I'm not even sure it's me you wanna keep.
And it's been ten days without you in my reach,
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep.
But time has changed nothing at all -
You're still the only one that feels like home.
I've tried cutting the ropes and
I let you go but you're still the only one
That feels like home.
You won't talk me into it next time,
If I'm going away your hearts coming too.
'Cos I miss your hands I miss your face.
When I get back let's disappear without a trace.
'Cos it's been ten days without you in my reach,
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep.
But time has changed nothing at all -
You're still the only one that feels like home.
I've tried cutting the ropes,
Tried letting go but you're still the only one
That feels like home.
So tell me, did you really think...
Oh tell me, did you really think
I had gone when you couldn't see me anymore?
When you couldn't...
'Cos baby time has changed nothing at all -
You're still the only one that feels like home.
And I've tried cutting the ropes,
I let you go but you're still the only one
That feels like home, yeah,
You're still the only one that feels like home,
You're still the only one I've gotta love.
I got a lot to say I just don't know how to say it
I know all the rules I just can't seem to play it
You can tick the boxes
Follow the equation
But the knife won't budge until you learn patience
I got notes to sing I just can't reach the words
They're out on a ledge in the dark with the birds
But I'm trying to find them inside of you
Take my brain and break it in two
[Chorus:]
Melody, you're the only one who saves me
Out of the cold you take me
(Set me on fire)
Save me
(Set me on fire)
Melody, all I want is to remember
What came before this winter?
(Set me on fire)
Save me
Set me on fire
I got a rock between my heart and my mouth
I know how it got there but I can't pull it out
And the bones that once moved my fingers over keys
Are protesting in a fist on my knees
Gotta find a way to unzip my skin
Cause this is a stranger's I'm living in
[Chorus]
Oh... (what came before the winter?)
Set me on fire
Oh...
Melody, you're the only one who saves me
Out of the cold you take me
And set me on fire
You set me on fire
Melody, all I want is to remember
What came before this winter?
(Set me on fire)
Oh save me
Set me on fire
Melody you're the only one who saves me oooh...
Just lay it all down. Put your face into my neck and let it fall out.
I know
I know
I know.
I knew before you got home.
This world you're in now,
It doesn't have to be alone,
I'll get there somehow, 'cos
I know I know I know
When, even springtime feels cold.
But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see,
So we can both be there and we can both share the dark.
And in our honesty, together we will rise,
Out of our nightminds, and into the light
At the end of the fight...
You were blessed by a different kind of inner view: it's all magnified.
The highs would make you fly, and the lows make you want to die.
And I was once there, hanging from that very ledge where you are standing.
So I know
I know
I know,
It's easier to let go.
But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see,
So we can both be there and we can both share the dark.
And in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds
And into the light at the end of the fight.
...and in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds
When you were young
nobody told you that this day would come
nobody wanted to tell
The truth
Coz everyone
Hoped that you might just be the exception
the exception to the rules
And you can be
extraordinary
if you choose
I don't see anyone
Holding a gun to you
By now you're a link in
the chain
But it's up to you
To break
All of your pain
All of your pain has been passed down the family
into your very
things ooohh
So you gotta break open the gates
Open the gates, let the hate in your out
You've nothing to gain but the truth ooohhh
And you can be
extraordinary
If you choose
I don't see anyone
holding a gun to you
By now you're a link in the chain
Now it's up to you to break
One foot either side of the line
You know it's only a matter of time
Before you just step to side between the dark and the light
Coz you can be extraordinary if you choose
I don't see anyone holding a gun to you
By now your a link in the chain
But it's up to you
Don't say what you're about to say.
Believe me, you are my fate.
And I believe you'll find a way,
or will you keep on falling until you reach the ground?
Of your lonely mind will you ever find yourself again?
And will you keep on dying until you've finally found
a better place where you find you will not wake up again?
Cause what you see is crystal wall,
what you breath is silver air,
but weigh this moment with a future of your dreams no longer there.
What you'll see is burning black,
and what'll you see is empty air,
so way this moment with a future of your dreams no longer there...
You're falling... yeah,
You're falling... yeah,
So take my hand, and come on let's fly.
There's always someone laughing,
from the corner of their cage,
but to fly amongst the mountains you must dance within the waves.
Or will you keep on falling until you reach the ground?
Of your lonely mind will you ever find yourself again?
And will you keep on dying until you've finally found a better
place where you find you will not wake up again?
Cause what you see is crystal wall,
what you breath is silver air,
but weigh this moment with a future of your dreams no longer there.
What you'll see is burning black,
and what you'll see is empty air,
so way this moment with a future of your dreams no longer there...
You're falling... yeah,
You're falling... yeah,
I know all the lines to say
The part I'm expected to play
But in the reflection I am worlds away
As I put my costume on
Eyelashes one by one
Been doing this so long I can tie the knot
Behind my back
And everyone's waiting
But it's getting harder to hear what my heart is saying
Cos everyone's waiting
Just swallow and breathe, she says
Remember this ain't for you it's for them
And all of those painful lessons you've had to learn
You gotta use them now or never
Cos everyone's waiting
But it's getting harder to hear
What my heart keeps saying
Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off
When everyone's waiting
It makes it harder to hear what my heart keeps saying
Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off
But everyone's waiting
I hear that answers appear when you just stand still
But make it all, how do you make it all stop
I never told you I don't know why,
All those years, all those lies,
Cling to my body like oil and fire,
And they will not sleep, they will not tire.
So we have a problem you see, my dear,
'cause I can't move on and I can't stay here.
I gotta fix it, I need your tears,
But mostly now I need your ears.
See I gotta tell you, I need you to know,
You were my ruin when you took hold.
You made me believe the lies you told,
But you wont get away with the pride you stole.
Getting off this dusty road.
Girls never tell you I dont know how,
But sometimes men you abuse your power.
We are strong and we do rebound,
But bruising tends to break us down.
So I gotta tell you, I need you to know,
You were my ruin when you took hold.
You made me believe the lies you told,
But you wont get away with the pride you stole.
Getting off this dusty road.
And Im trading in my sympathy for sanity,
So hear me because I-
I gotta tell you, I need you to know,
You were my ruin when you took hold.
You made me believe the lies you told,
But you won't get away with the pride you stole.
Turn, he said
Remove that veil
Your fading in the head
And take off your slip
And slip into my heaviness of skin
And I'll be your disguise
Yeah I'll be your disguise
Believe, now in what you see
'Cos seeing me is all you'll ever be
And shhh, baby don't you think
I'll close your eyes so you need not to blink
And I'll numb your demise
Yeah I'll numb your demise
'Cos baby who will come more than a mile
To put a rose on withered cheeks
That hide no smile
And if the pain don't satisfy
You know you can hide in me
Until you get it right
So drop the mirror
Look at me with polished eyes
An unnecessary feature 'cos I am fine
But this talent that you'll learn
Will soon be your deflection of the hurt
And I'll numb your demise
Yeah I'll numb your demise
'Cos baby who will come more than a mile
To put a rose on withered cheeks
That hide no smile
And if the pain don't satisfy
You know you can hide in me
Until you get it right
So drop the mirror
Look at me
'Cos baby who will come more than a mile
To put a rose on withered cheeks
That hide no smile
And if the pain don't satisfy
You know you can hide in me
You put your hand on top of mine
You're talking fast but talking blind
And I can't bring myself to meet your eyes
Cause death is slowly coverin' you
In galaxies of black and blue.
Oh and under you skin always colors bloom.
And you're only half you,
Like some one left
A frail body,
And took the rest
But I remeber
When you were strong,
And never wanted help from
No one.
What you've become is
Not who I remember
Is this the cooling of the embers?
She's back again through summers past
The smell of the rain and freshly cut grass.
Seems those ordinary days are the ones that last
Or cause he was there, the one you loved.
The one you never could let go of
And there's something you know as you're looking up
But you're only half you,
Like someone left
A frail body,
And stole the rest
But I remeber
When you were strong,
Never wanted help from
No one.
What you've become,
Is not who I remember.
Is this the cooling of the embers?
Is this the cooling of the embers?
Cause you are not who I remeber.
It's like you are a child,
You are a child,
You are a child once more
And all of our yesterdays are gone.
You put your hand on top of mine.
You're talking fast, but you're talking blind
I woke to the sound of a single note ringing out
And I thought, thought you had left me
I thought you had dissappeared
It was sadder than any song
That I'd ever heard
But now I know it was all in my head
All in my head
All this time it was all in my head
All in my head
I walked every street, searched every lonely bar
Where you might be
I thought I'd never find you
I thought all was lost
I was sadder than any song
That I'd ever heard
But now I know it was all in my head
All in my head
All this time it was all in my head
All in my head
I finally found you
Deep in my heart you'd been hiding out
I didn't know the dark light in my soul
Had been blacking you out
It was all in my head
All in my head
All this time it was all in my head
All in my head
All this time it was all in my head
Pull back the shield between us, and I'll kiss you,
Drop your defenses and come, into my arms.
I'm all for believing, I'm all for believing.
I'm all for believing if you can reveal the true colours within.
I know you blanket your mind so much that I am blind, but I,
I see you've painted your soul into your guard,
I'm all for believing, I'm all for believing
I need to know just how you feel, to comfort you;
I need to find the key let me in, into your heart, to find your soul.
Pull back the shield between us, and I'll kiss you,
Drop your defenses and come, into my arms.
I'm all for believing, I'm all for believing.
I'm all for believing, if you can reveal, the true colours within,
And say you will be there for me to hold,
When the faith grows old (I'm all for believing)
And life turns cold, (I'm all for believing)
When the faith grows old, (I'm all for believing) and life turns cold.
So if you're cold I will stay, maybe fate will guide the way.
I believe in what I see and baby we were meant to be,
Just believe. Just believe. Just believe.
You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed
You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed
Yeah, that's what your girlfriend said
You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed
Good in bed
Good in bed
Well I'll meet you at the pub
At two minutes to ten
You're all ready to go
With six bottles of beer
And a sneer on your face
Well I'd run
But I'm much too slow
You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed
Yeah that's what your girlfriend said
You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed
You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed
At half past one
Well I'm flat on the floor
Caught like a rat in a trap
Fifteen times a week
And you still want more
Oh God, you talk such crap
You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed
Yeah, that's what your girlfriend said
You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed
You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed
You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed
Yeah, that's what your girlfriend said
You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed
Oh, you just like me cause I'm good in bed
You just like me, yeah
You just like me
I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none
There were sounds in my head
LIttle voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found myself listening
'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
See I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside
'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do
'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
Red hand print on the white of your cheek
Pack your bags quiet while the lion sleeps
Watch you mother put her name to the line
Next to the place where your father signed
And inevitably what you used to be
Will succumb to the pull of gravity
And you will never know, you will never see
With virgin eyes again
'Cause this is the day that everything changes
And your world stops turning
Running straight into the brake lights
You've come to nothing
This is the day that everything changes
And your worlds collide
And you know in time
You'll wake to find you're a little unbroken
Hold the answer to the light, see your future
Two line, blue line tragedy
He brings the metal to the fire for the first time
Tells you it's the last time and it will be
'Cause inevitably what you used to be
Will be tainted by the hand of curiosity
And you will never know, you will never see
With virgin eyes again
'Cause this is the day that everything changes
And your world stops turning
Running straight into the brake lights
You've come to nothing
This is the day that everything changes
And your worlds collide
And you know in time
You'll wake to find you're a little unbroken
So how can I explain?
The isolated rain that follows you
Wouldn't you agree
Running always slows you down
So welcome the pain
Stop yourself from delaying it
Because the real life
Will never go away
'Cause this is the day that everything changes
And your world stops turning
Running straight into the brake lights
You've come to nothing
This is the day that everything changes
And your worlds collide
You know in time
You'll wake to find you're a little unbroken
You're a little unbroken
Oh, a little unbroken
You're a little unbroken
Suddenly I can't stay in this room.
You'll never sway, and I have nothing left that I can think of to say.
What do you want me to think of my thought?
Bear it in mind, if I cannot believe in me who will I then be?
And so I'll run but not too far, incase you chase me, oh...
But this is how it goes, baby.
I'll get angry at your words and I'll go home
And you won't call after me 'cos I'll be back before you know, you know...
So give me a tooth full of that smile,
And know-it-all eyes you show me
Just to prove that you don't need to lose it.
You tell me I'm your fortress of desire
But is it a crime for me to say my own view
And want then not to fear you?
And so I'll run but not too far, incase you chase me...
But this is how it goes, baby,
I'll get angry at your words and I'll go home
Then you won't call after me 'cos I'll be back before you know,
You know, yeah I'll be back before you know...
La di da di da...........
And so I'll run but not too far...
'Cos this is how it goes, baby,
I'll get angry at your words and
I'll go home, then you won't call after me,
'cos I'll be back before you know, you know...
Yeah, I'll be back before you know...
You breathed infinity into my world
And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl.
We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night.
Then you said, "wait for me we'll fly the wind,
We'll grow old and you'll be stronger without him" but oh,
Now my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
But I was alive and now I've drowned.
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
So they can tell me I was wrong...
But they weren't there beneath your stare,
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare of
Any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren't taken by the hand
And led through fields of naked land
Where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
So I couldn't say "no".
You sighed and I was lost in you, weeks could've past for all I knew.
You were there blanket of the over-world and so I couldn't say,
I wouldn't say "no". But they all said, "you're too young to even know,
Just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him"
But oh, now, my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
But I was alive and now I've drowned.
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
So they can tell me I was wrong...
But they weren't there beneath your stare,
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
But they weren't there beneath your stare,
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
Let's take the train to anywhere
I wanna feel the wind in my hair with you
Let's tell them all, that soon they'll know
How very wrong they were to think we'd never go
And if you tell me yours I'll tell you mine
And we will clean the cobwebs out of one another's minds
Don't ever say you've tried
To leave me in this life
Don't ever say you've tried
For the last time
We'll get a house where the trees hang low
And pretty little flowers on our window sill will grow
We'll make friends with the milk man
And the butcher Mr.Timms will give us discounts when he can
And if you tell me yours I'll tell you mine
And we will clean the cobwebs out of one another's minds
Don't ever say you've tried
To leave me in this life
Don't ever say you've tried
For the last time
La di da di da
La di da di da
La di da di da
Di da di da
Oh ohh
Don't ever say you've tried
To leave me in this life
Don't ever say you've tried
To leave me in this life
Don't ever say you've tried
So the gloodgates open but nothing comes out
I'm feeling no relief in my head, just doubt
But my heart keeps telling me 'hold your ground
You'll never learn a thing if you bail out now'
And I'm lonely again tonight
I can feel it like a knot in my side
They keep saying this is part of the ride
But I'm not getting stronger
Yet hold me against the light
And do you see any bullet inside?
Wouldn't find one if you magnified
Because you've got the wrong girl
Had my fingers around the back of your chair
You'd never miss a thing but you missed me there
And I just kept thinking 'Am I prepared
To pull it out from under your trusting stare?'
Now the house is quiet as a hollow head
And I'm walking round bumping into things you said
This has not been as easy as I thought it would
Id'be cooling down the fire if I thought I could
But I'm lonely again tonight
I can feel it like a knot in my side
They keep saying this is part of the ride
But I'm not getting stronger
Yet hold me against the light
And do you see any bullet inside?
Wouldn't find one if you magnified
I've hardly been outside my room in days,
'cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays.
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,
And it was then I realize the conscience never fades.
When you're young you have this image of your life:
That you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.
And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross,
And if you happen to you wake completely lost.
But I will fight for you, be sure that
I will fight until we're the special two once again.
And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together,
Our hands will not be taught to hold another's,
When we're the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'll bleed together,
These arms will not be taught to need another,
'Cause we were the special two.
I remember someone old once said to me:
"That lies will lock you up with truth the only key."
But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell,
And couldn't see this place would soon become my hell.
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
Well I guess the answer is don't do it in the first place.
I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now,
But if by chance you change your mind you know I will not let you down
'cause we were the special two, and we'll be again.
And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together,
Our hands will not be taught to hold another's,
When we're the special two.
And we can only see each other we'll breathe together,
These arms will not be taught to need another...
'cause we're the special two.
I step outside my mind's eye's for a minute.
And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease,
Or something that could ease the pain.
But nothing cures the hurt you, you bring on by yourself,
Just remembering, just remembering how we were...
When we would only need each other, we'd bleed together,
Our hands would not be taught to hold another's,
We were the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'd bleed together,
These arms would not be taught to need another,
Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,
What you were, what you were to me in memory.
But if I listen to the dark,
You'll embrace me like a star,
Envelope me, envelope me...
If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me to before you went away -
If only for a day.
If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me back to the tune
We played before you went away.
And if I listen to, the sound of white,
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.
My silence solidifies,
Until that hollow void erases you,
Erases you so I can't feel at all.
But if I never fell again, at least that nothingness
Will end the painful dream, of you and me...
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me to
Before you went away, if only for a day.
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me back to
The tune we played before you went away.
And if I listen to, the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.
And if I listen to, the sound of white.
I knelt before some strangers face,
I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead,
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...
And if I listen to, the sound of white sometimes
I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white.
The sound of white,
The sound of white,
I don't need a slap in the face, I'm already at the bottom of the sea.
Should have known this armour was heavy when the battle was declared by me.
But you weren't listening too hard,
Under every word's a jaded heart.
And you weren't listening too hard, now were you?
Can you pull your head out a moment and try to find a second just to breathe?
I was trying to be a picture, a pillar of solidity you see?
But you weren't listening too hard,
Under every word's a jaded heart.
Now give me your best and I'll take it, feel it, breathe it,
Then watch me throw it back to you.
'Cause you weren't listening too hard,
No, under every word's a jaded heart.
Now give me your best and I'll take it, feel it, breathe it,
And watch me throw it back to you.
Back to you.
Baby ballerina's hiding
Somewhere in the corner
Where the shadow wraps around her
And our torches cannot find her
She will stay there till the morning
Crawl behind us as we are yawning
And she will leave our games
To never be the same
So grow tall, sugarcane
Eat that soil, drink the rain
But know they'll chase you
If you play their little games
So run, run fast, sugarcane
You see my peep show booth is handy
There's a one way only mirror
So I can dance here with my hair down
But I don't see if you get bitter
And there's a button right beside me
If I happen to want a wall to hide me
If only the ballerina had one too
So grow tall, sugarcane
Eat that soil, drink the rain
But know they'll chase you
If you play their little games
So run, run fast, sugarcane
And she said, "Always be afraid"
Yes, she said, "Always be afraid"
So grow tall, sugarcane
Eat that soil, drink the rain
But know they'll chase you
If you play their little games
So run, run fast, sugarcane
Yeah, you'd better run, run fast, sugarcane
Disobey my own decisions
I deserve all your suspicions
First it's yes and then it's no
I dilly dally down to duo
But I got no secrets
That I babble in my sleep
I won't make promises to you
That I can't keep
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
I once lived for the future
Every day was one day closer
Greener on the other side
Yes, I believed before I met you
But I soon learned
Your love burned brighter
Than the stars in my eyes
And now I know how and when
I know where and why
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
Feel it falling off like clothing
Taste it rolling on your tongue
See the lights above you glowing
Oh and breathe them deep into your lungs
It was always simple, not hidden hard
You've been pulling at the strings playing puppeteer for kings
And you've had enough
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know that you control where you go
You can steer
So hold this feeling like a newborn
Of freedom surging through your veins
You have opened up a new door
So bring on the wind, fire and rain
It was always simple, not hidden hard
You've been played at a game called remembering your name
And you stuffed it up
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know that you control where you go
You can steer
'Cos you've been listening for answers
But the city screams and all your dreams go unheard
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know that you control where you go
You can steer
Year get out of the box and step into the clear
You were from the North, I was from the South
We were form opposite places, different towns
But I knew it was good and you knew it was too
So we moved together like a ball and chain
Minds becoming two halves of the same
It was real, but in shadows it grew
Cos you've got a secret don't ya babe?
I would've shouted loud and broken through
I would've given it all to belong to you
But there were different plans, different rules
You said "where I'm from there is a lock and key
If you'd be so kind as to follow me
I will show you the way to the rest of my sins"
Cos you've got a secret don't ya babe?
Yeah you, you got a secret don't ya babe?
And I should know
Yeah I should know
So this room was damp where your sins laid
There was that smell in the air of an old place
That hadn't seen much daylight in years
And you threw me down, said, "If ya don't mind
I'm gonna leave you here until night time
Then we can do what we want my baby out of the spotlight."
Cos you've got a secret don't ya babe?
Yeah you, you got a secret don't ya babe?
And I should know
Yeah I should know
For I'm your secret aren't I babe?
Yeah I'm your secret aren't I babe?
He left a card, a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note
That said "use these down to your bones"
And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy being clean like him
I thought "this one knows better than I do"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
He tried to cut me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
So the next one came with a bag of treats, she smelled like sugar and
spoke like the sea
And she told me don't trust them, trust me
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, looked at my insides clicking
her tongue and said
"This will all have to come undone"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
She tried to blunt me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
I think I realized just in time, although my old self was hard to find
You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
Darling
If I I'm honest
You been on my mind,
On my mind,
All day,
And lately,
If I'm honest,
I can't bring myself to think no other way,
I've been finding all kinds of reckless ways to forgetta your face,
Like going out on the town,
Spread it around,
All that love I kept for you,
But no one,
Touches me like you, used to,
It's a shame but it's true,
Nobody loves me the way that,
You used to
Darling well I've been moving,
Through season phases hoping to meet your stare,
And dancing towards any stranger,
With your crazy eyes away with golden hair,
I've been finding All kind of useless ways just to push it all down
Like spinning around
Spinning around
Till I fall onto the ground
But no one,
Touches me like you, used to,
It's a shame but it's true,
Nobody loves me the way that,
You used to
And I painted over all the cracks,
But now the paint is peeling back,
Oohhh yeaaahh oooh yeahh eh eh
It's a shame but it's true,
(Nobody loves me)
When the flame turning blue,
It burned a hole right through,
Now nobody loves me the way that,
The way that you,
The way that you,
Oh my son look at what I've done
But I am learning still
Learning still
Know that I am learning still
And oh my wife you are my life
And I am burning still
Burning still
Know that I am burning for you still
And all, all, all of my light is for you
And home, home's anywhere you are too
So take this one fallen man on his knees
Saying please forgive me
Oh my God how you make it hard
Not to pick the apple
Pick the apple
And Lord I long to give it back
And I was on shakey land
Lost and unsure I opened my hand
And she held it like sinking sand
And all, all, all of my light is for you
And home, home's anywhere you are too
So take this one fallen man on his knees
Saying please
All, all, all of my light is for you
And home, home's anywhere you are too
So take this one fallen man on his knees
Saying please forgive me
Forgive me
Alone you find yourself just hanging,
and to fill the hole you cling to all that seems,
to hide the little girl that crying,
underneath the rage that you let others see.
'Cause you're dancing dirt into the snow
while others look at you on show.
You're dancing dirt into the snow
while all around you people grow
And watch you bleed.
And watch you bleed.
So now you look at me, eyes wooden.
An anchor through your head; crimson for disguise.
An opal for a wound you carry, fairy lights of pleading someone look at me.
'Cause you're dancing dirt into the snow
while others look at you on show.
You're dancing dirt into the snow
while all around you people grow
And watch you bleed.
And watch you bleed.
The more you push through broken glass, the thicker it becomes.
And the more you turn on broken worlds, the sooner you will need.
The more you push through broken glass, the thicker it becomes.
And the more you turn on broken worlds, the sooner you will need
A gun.
'Cause you're dancing dirt into the snow
while others look at you on show.
You're dancing dirt into the snow
I follow complications like a bloodhound
So pick me up, twist me round and throw me all the way back down
'Cos I find my feet addicted to the ceiling when hanging upside
Your smile's a frown- it's all too easy on the ground
So jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends
We'll take this road until we're back at the start yet again
Jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends
And we'll pretend that feeling rage is feeling real
That feeling is feeling real
So I've got a brand new rubber band for you boy
Go on and give it a stretch, I can see you're itching to
Frustrations on the boil
But then I see my damn reflection in your eyeballs
And I want nothing more to do with all
The things you've made me think I am
So jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends
We'll take this road until we're back at the start yet again
Jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends
And we'll pretend that feeling rage is feeling real
That feeling is feeling real
You were everything for a little while
But I broke it I broke it I broke it I broke it didn't I?
You were everything for a little while
But I broke it I broke it I broke it I broke it didn't I?
Oh didn't I
So jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends
We'll take this road until we're back at the start yet again
Jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends
And we'll pretend that feeling rage is feeling real
