Stone blind alibi
I will eat the lie
Find the word
Could break any spell that binds you
Prayers like ammonites
Curl beneath the lights
How i long to
Bite every hand that feeds you more
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
All night busz on a line
It's only blood on the rime
Wrecks my head every time
It leads me on
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Tonight tonight
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
A web of light divine
Screen to block my view
Head without control
Our tree grown askew
Cynical mass and fruitless passions
Mouthing the words with time
Slowly as the bond unfastens
Catch sight of the mountain in this climb
And I'm spitting out that sentimental syrup
That they like to pour on bitter pills
Wind in my hair, foot in the stirrup
And I'm leaving for the dark hills
Head long the hound
And the bandwagon followed
Deluge of tinsel and fire
Faces turned to stone
For the shroud of lost tomorrow
Sweetly sings the choir
Nothing much on offer here
Except cellophone and laughter
They've even got oxygen, tender
To hold inside a hummingbird
Or weave out of dreams
And to feel just like a butterfly pinned
And I'm spitting out that sentimental syrup
That they like to pour on dollar bills
Wind in my hair, foot in the stirrup
And I'm leaving for the dark hills
Steps that lead to wall
The wall of seduction
And a whole new range of treadmills
Lips that speak no language
But destruction
Hey I'm leaving for the dark hills
I can't seem to get across with my conclusion
Its the billboard, not the bullet that kills
Cut back to the roots of disillusion
Hey I'm leaving for the dark hills
And I'm spitting out that sentimental syrup
That they like to pour on dollar bills
Wind in my hair, foot in the stirrup
And I'm leaving for the dark hills
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
From the blue television
And the idiots kissing
And making excuses
For all that failed
Break it down now
Break it down
Break it
The wind like a dagger
Is tearing my sails
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
From my father and mother
In a room in a tower
Breathing the hours
Like chloroform
And there's something within me
I want to express it
But how do you paint it
When it's got no form
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned what to say
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
Now the women are speaking
Of loves that have perished
Of memories cherished
And the fools men are
How many times
How many times
How many
If only
If only
Ans la - la - la
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Tell me more lies
Tell me more
No need to stress
And no need to worry
Soon we'll need no
Time or money
Goin' in over my head
Hear the sound of the sea
On the pebble
Just can't help get
Sentimental
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
All the striving
All the suffering
Maybe it was
All for nothing
Goin' in over my head
I know these streets
I know these trees
I'm going down
Where the summers freeze
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Been a while girl
It's good to see you
Of all the people
to find you here
Goin' in over my head
Wahah
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over - my head
(faraway)
The night has a million eyes
The night has a million eyes
The night has a million eyes
The city air is poison
But it tastes so sweet
Blowing through your windows this morning
And the sirens in the distance
And the traffic in the street
To my ear it sounds like music for me
And there's no needle in my arm
But I feel so high
No I won't ever come down
But I'm walking through the sunlight
And its brokeness that greats me
In the doorways of this ancient town
And roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
Well the sky may howl
And the city smolder
I don't need nowhere to hide
Foundations are shaking
Woah spirits aching
Midday burning cold until
I picture your face
It starts a roaring in my head
Like the sea inside an empty shell
Everywhere see innocence,
Faith undermined
Everywhere a hunger and flame
And relentless disillusionment
Praying on the mind
'Till oh, the world is tamed
And roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
And the sky may howl
And the city smolder
I don't need nowhere to hide
Through the melancoly rain
Darkness of the hills
You know how I feel the pain
But you kiss me and I'm healed
Through the baracades of reasons
Forgotten hopes and seasons
We stand before the waking light
Strange as the years grow dark
My soul catch a spark
And now the minutes never burned so bright
Roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
And the sky may howl
With tons of thunder
I don't need nowhere to hide
And roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
And the sky may howl
And the city smolder
I don't need nowhere to hide
Its loud and its clear
I don't need nowhere
Hold on hold on to me hold on hold on to me
Sometimes there's no easy way
Got to cause somebody pain
Watching you you hit so hard on yourself
Cos you need someone to blame
Oh now what will you do
Oh now what will you do
Can't help the way you're feeling
Don't want to leave him so alone
Well I don't want nowhere to go
There's nothing there I need to know
Cause everyday is just the same
In deeper blue, or madder rain
Count the numbers
Check the sums
Hand it father down to son
Better find someone to blame
For madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
I don't want no one to see
The fear I hide inside of me
The tear that fall now on my shoe
A thousand miles away from you
No use to hide
Nowhere to run
Still hear it falling in the sun
So grab your gun and take a train
For madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Washing you cold
Washing you numb
Washing you further from the one
So fuck it all and laugh again
At madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Slowly the truth is loading
I'm weighted down with love
Snow lying deep and even
Strung out and dreaming of
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
We're threading hope like fire
Down through the desperate blood
Down through the trailing wire
Into the leafless wood
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
I'll be sticking right there with it
I'll be by your side
Sailing like a silver bullet
Hit 'em 'tween the eyes
Through the smoke and rising water
Cross the great divide
Baby till it all feels right
Night falling on the city
Sparkling red and gold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
Hear the warning
Read the sign
written here
Between the lines
Whispering poison valentines
To the love in me
Pull the blade out
From the fire
Crucify my own desire
Chase it off
Down to the wire
For the love in me
Milk of kindness
Bread of dreams
Belly's bursting at the seams
Cigarettes and magazines
For the love in me
Through it all
This heart of mine
Leaving me so far behind
All this world
Just made of breath
Every line get's done to death
Nothing here to face it with
Except the love in me
Through it all
This heart of mine
Leaving me so far behind
Meet me darling
On the steps
Paint the line upon your lips
Open with
Your fingertips
All the love in me
All the love in me
All the love in me
Maybe that it would do me good
If I believed there were a god
Cut in the starry firmament
But as it is that's just a lie
And I'm here eating up the boredom
On an island of cement
Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it
Open window and I'll steal it
Baby like it's heaven sent
This ain't no love that's guiding me
Some days i'm bursting at the seams
With all my half remembered dreams
And then it shoots me down again
I feel the dampness as it creeps
I hear you coughing in your sleep
Beneath a broken window pane
Tomorrow girl i'll buy you chips
A lollipop to stain your lips
And it'll all be right as rain
This ain't no love that's guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
On winter trees the fruit of rain
Is hanging trembling in the branches
Like a thousand diamond buds
And waiting there in every pause
That old familiar fear that claws you
Tells you nothing ain't no good
Then pulling back you see it all
Down here so laughable and small
Hardly a quiver in the dirt
Just a little something for the pain
Hospital food getting you down?
Honey now I'm not one to complain
But this hangin' around
Is wearing me out
So patch me up boys take me home
Are you not hearing a word I say?
She sounds so different on the phone
I just sink like a stone
Back to the bay
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something I don't know
Don't seem to have that much to show
For all the hard work, the sweat and toil
You say 'well that's right', and you should know
You've been there before
You've basked in the glow
You've stood in the roar
You've tasted the snow
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already
Seeing it all so beautiful
The way it oughta be
Seeing it all so beautiful
And turning away
Turning away
Turning away
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
Come the weekend
And we'll long gone baby
Just like the old days
Letting the world flow through me
Just a parasite in a line
I'm smoking, killing the time
How long's a piece of twine
What use is sympathy
From here you can almost see the sea
If you would hold still
Could make a clean incision
Then we could sit back
And watch the demolition
Little puppy dog in a box
Somebody's picking the locks
Must want the darn from the socks
Here comes the cavalry
From here you can almost see the sea
Just another fool in the line
I dream of high clouds
Flushed with the light of daybreak
I'm gonna dive in
To water so cold it makes your bones ache
Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped
All of the rubbish heaped
A piece of cardboard taped
Up where the bedroom window pane used to be
From here you can almost
From here you can almost see the sea
Just another fool in the line
Just another fool in the line
I saw a film once
Where all the airholes froze up
A killer whale swam
Under the blue ice
Four o'clock in the morning
Born on the sea
The night is rattling
With burglar alarm oh yeah
The night explode
The night explode
Flower by your window side
Autumn is graceful
Unladen with memory
And the wonders die
Seven o'clock in the evening
Watching TV show
Kissing your dark hair
Its your head against the sunset
And the harbor below
It's the cruelest thing
The cruelest thing
That I've ever known
Just time and circumstance
Taking their toll
As the storm beats and rolls
Your bed was a warm bed
Warm bed in the cold room
Always the same pictures on the wall
With some love in the morning
With your dog at your pillow
And a half empty bottle of baby oil
Oh seven o'clock in the evening
Born around the sea
Night is rattling
With burglar alarms
Oh their ringing out for me
The cruelest thing
The cruelest thing
That I've ever known
Time and circumstance
Taking their toll
As the storm beat and roll
Take this silver lining
Keep it in your own sweet head
Shine it when the night is burning red
Shine it in the twilight
Shine it on the cold cold ground
Shine it till these walls come
Tumbling down
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Step into the silence
Take it in your own two hands
And scatter it like diamonds
All across these lands
Blaze it in the morning
Wear it like an iron skin
Only things worth living for
Innocence and magic-amen
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down with talk so cheap
Fools in their madness all around
-Know that the light don't sleep
-Know that the light don't sleep
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
-Know that the light don't sleep
As I'm leaving a change comes on my eyes
These streets persuading me with mumbles strange goodbyes
And through the water through the ring
To the soil of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
And there's no meaning in clothes and coffee cups
Cheap hotel furniture where silence never stops
And through the water through the ring
To the soil of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
And now I'm dreaming I'm staring at the walls
At cars all frozen now in late night winterfalls
And through the water through the ring
To the soil of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
We are lovers girl, me and you
small faced lovers girl oh
you know its true
Get through the winter time
and the spring sun starts to grow
I'm your white faced lover girl
oh don't you know
You're so warm with me
i never feel the cold
what have you done with me i've never felt this old
come through the orange summer
and stand and watch the red leaves fall
maybe by next summertime
we'll have forgotten it all
ah, we are lovers girl, me and you
small faced girl, you know it's true
come through the orange summer
and stand and watch the red leaves fall
maybe by next summertime
Morning, sit in the morning sun
Evening, watching the shadow come
Through the bright streets of London
I feel the rain
Upon my eyes as I wonder
At this spell that I'm under, Magdalen
Since you came along
Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I'm burning up from head to tow eh
Magdalena when you're gone
Dreaming, we're drinking the night away
Talking, way past the break of day
Through the bright streets of London
I feel the rain
Upon my eyes as I wonder
At this spell that I'm under, Magdalen
Since you came along
Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I'm burning up from head to tow eh
Magdalena when you're gone
Nananananananananananananana
Nananananananananananananana
Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I'm burning up from head to tow eh
Hold on to nothing
Hold on to coldest steel
It chills you down inside
When you see just what is real
Paste it up and tear it down
Move it on along the rushing road
Seventeen Fahrenheit
Feel the winter grow
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
Nowhere to write it down
Write it down
Step down the alley
Walking against the stony crowd
Trying not to listen
But they shout so loud
Chew you up and spit you out
Crush you between its finger and its thumb
The world in all its anger
Oh and there's always more to come
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
Nowhere to write it down
Tuesday my heart is brimming
I'm a child in the wild wind
dead leaves and daylight dimming
no beginning and no end
inside a candle of defiance
moonlight
a river of pearls
Cause we're going to need more
than money and science
to see us through this world
You say it can't be done
you'd rather die of fun
get out of the way
for me for you for everyone
forever is tomorrow is today
Shut all the windows
shut all the doors
we're keeping it all out of sight
we're keeping it all
it's tearing us apart
you don't know your good
from your bad from your black
from your blood from your wrong
from your right
so you camouflage your heart
I don't want no other distractions
there's too much here to see
faint hearts or jaded reactions
contraptions of history
You say it can't be done
you'd rather die of fun
get out of the way
for me for you for everyone
forever is tomorrow is today
Shut all the windows
shut all the doors
I'm keeping it all out of sight
I'm keeping it all
it's mine and mine alone
corrosion collision
I need a vision
to tear off the cloak of the night
and shatter eyes of stone
You say it can't be done
you'd rather die of fun
get out of the way
for me for you for everyone
forever is tomorrow is today
forever is tomorrow is today
forever is tomorrow is today
Hey now, you got me by the tongue
I feel like there's nowhere I belong
And they're working it pretty hard
And they're selling it by the yard
But its more than I can afford
That's all that I know
Leader, it comes as no surprise
See now, these are coins that were his eyes
Silver dollars and hoods of steel
Tell me nothing can be revealed
The more you get it the less you feel
That's all that I know
Starts a shivering in my spine
And a fever I can't define
It gets colder the higher you climb
That's all that I know
You kill me with every word you say
I'm dead now, along with faith and chivalry
Silver dollars and hoods of steel
Tell me nothing can be revealed
The more you get it the less you feel
That's all that I know
Colder the higher you climb
Colder the higher you climb
Colder the higher you climb
I have waited the night over
For some word to come
I asked the moon o'er the clover
But the moon she is dumb
You have made me a promise
At midnight we'd go
And that we should be married
Sailing westward ho
Such words you have spoken
You have told me a lie
That it could not be broken
When you knew it must die
There's no light in heaven
My eye can see
That my heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
Go free
Like honey the ocean
In the morning breeze
I'll take my tears to the water
That the rivers may freeze
There's no light in heaven
Can shine for me
That my heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
Go free
What folly is beauty
What trick of the skin
Desire it's fancy
And ruin its whim
Your child within me
And what can I do
My blood fill with needles
That he look like you
There's no light in heaven
My eye can see
That my heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
My heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
No light in heaven
These days spent staring at your photograph
Read your letter, made me laugh
But there's a shadow on the path
Till I know if your love is real
Cause its not as if a lot was said
Falling in and falling out of bed
But now the world's turned on its head
Till I know if your love is real
Spend a long time now, persuading myself
That I don't need no-one, nobody else
That I'd felt all there was to feel
I'm in a daydream now, I'm out to lunch
Should it come down to the crunch I'm wide open for that sucker punch
Till I know if your love is real
Till I know if your love is real
Spend a long time now, persuading myself
That I don't need no-one, nobody else that
I felt all there was to feel
Know if I should live one hundred years
I'll never see another face like yours
Or stranger seas, or brighter shores
Without a word, you set your sights into the sun
When all the world, you put to rights is still so wrong
Pin your heart out on your sleeve spouting all that make believe
From your lips it seems they might come true
Falling down the mountainside with you
The clothes you wore, the people stared you looked so strange
To see you move, St. Vitus' dance was in your veins
Never once afraid to know, what it feels like when you go
Out beyond where logic keeps the view
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down
If you were here first thing I'd do is knock you down
You left me cold, to meet your ghost all over town
So grind the stone and spin the wheel
Lock the doors, on what you feel
Looking back, it's like i always knew
I'd be falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Down from the doorway
And into the street
I hear the morning bell
Over and over the pattern repeat
I hear the morning bell
And all the faces cold as stone
In the January chill
You have led me into worlds unknown
And I'm walking there still
Everytime now
Everytime now
I think of you mine now
I just can't contain
I'm seven feet tall and
There's nightingales calling
Shooting stars falling
Like jewels in the rain
I ask myself I ask myself
Can this life be the same
That spun me round and put me down
And fill me up with shame
And all the heads are turning now
Down the Tottenham court road
Cause I just can't help but sing it out
Case I just might explode
Everytime now
Everytime now
I think of you mine now
I can't comprehend
The saxophones blowing
Cherry trees growing
Right here in my hand
A dance in the moonlight
So high on a June night
Magazines strewn right
Over the chair
Your spine a white ladder
Your eyes singing sadder
Nothing else seems to matter
As soon as you're there
And everytime now
Everytime now
I think of you mine now
I just can't contain
I'm seven feet tall and
There's nightingales calling
Shooting stars falling
Like jewels in the rain
Everytime now
Everytime now
Everytime now
Everytime
Lightening strikes, silver motorbikes
Roaring down the open road, wind on my skin
I'm hungry to begin, my cup has overflown
So let fall the rain down into these desert veins
Taking back what they stole
These diamonds in the mine
Can afford to become fine
In someone else's pigeon hole
So I made up my mind
Made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind
Half past seven way up in the heaven
The stars are singing in the sky
Lying half dressed, your head upon my breast
Listening to the ocean's lullaby
Standing where we are, it seems so far
From the cold light of day
With the faces full of grief,
And the grinding up of teeth
Has been eating my belief away
So I made up my mind
I made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind
Instead of lagging now..
Cracks in the veneer and the light so severe
Shining down the avenue try to join the throng
But it's feeling all wrong what are you supposed to do
Shoulder that despair take a lung of dirty air
Turn to watch the sun set red
And the ruins of a culture
Of a sky that's filled with vultures
Circling over your head
So I made up my mind
I made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind
Instead of lagging behind
All of my senses overthrown
By the might of your skin
And the lamplight on your cheek bone
Drawing me further in
No sentence I can speak
For the wonder so unique
Breaking like a wave upon the shore
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Since you opened up the door
See how the sky is made of sapphire
The colours flowing through our hands
The moon is fire in your hair
A million miles beyond what science understands
Smell that mountain heaven
I don't remember ever
Feeling like this before
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Since you opened up the door
And if every window pane should shatter
If every wall should fall apart
Well it might hurt a bit
But would it matter
With this diamond in my heart
There's no need to nail it to the ground
There's no need to smother it with sense
Just listen to the rhythm of your heart
That pounds and trust it all to chance
'cause we're standing face to face
With the Angel of grace
And don't it just taste so pure
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Mercy me, I'm falling free
If I lean my weight on it
If I fix my heart to the line
Might find a way from it
To some easy time
My skins all white with it
I'm up so high when I fall
I fall so far from it
Ain't nowhere at all
Early morning sun
Shine it and I'm gone
To plane out on the lake
Hey hey yeah yeah
To glide out on the wing
Turn around and sing
The fear now taking hold
I'll bring you love but it's all been sold
My heads all wired with it
My tongue gets tied when I speak
The space inside roaring
When that signal break
Early morning sun
Shine it and I'm gone
To plane out on the lake
Hey hey yeah yeah
To glide out on the wing
Turn around and see
The fire now taking hold
Smoke curls through my hands
These one night stands
Are making me crazy I know
Morning I'll go
Crowds in the rain all passing by
Faith gone from your eyes
Each word that flies
Taking you further away
And come that day
There ain't no easy way to cry
And as I watch you leave I stand
Inside my house of straw
And everywhere I go I find
Things recollecting to my mind
How right it all could be
Faith gone from your eyes
Each word it flies
Straight to the heart and I know
Watching you go
There ain't no easy way to cry
So right now
So right now
So right now
So right
And as I watch you leave I stand
Inside my house of straw
And everywhere I go I find
Things recollecting to my mind
How right it all could be
Could be
So right now
So right now
So right now
So right now
So right now
So right now
So right
Don't pay no mind to it
Oh let it blow
Break you up inside
If you don't let it go
Jeez what are you like honey
I don't know
Recommended by my bank
And everybody in the tank
First of all I'd like to thank
This might take a while honey
Hey don't blink
Missing by a mile now we're
Here on the brink
Not a day goes by honey
I don't think
I could be your volunteer
We'll make the whole thing disappear
Saddle up we're outta here
You could be my olive branch
Lift me up above the stench
Walk me through the avalanche
Honey won't you be my flood
Nothing ever comes out good
Trouble in the neighbourhood
Conversations gone askew
And how do you make it fell like new
Kookaburra kangaroo
Will you won't you be my leach
Take it all and when I screech
Leave it there just outta reach
Take me to that burning bush
Give me something I can't crush
Lead me out into the hush
So far behind
So far behind
So far behind
All my tears will dry away
All my tears will dry away
All my tears will dry away Words don't bother me no more
Black money falling to the floor
Flags out on the balconies
Black money washing to the seas
Oh my mind
What happened to the time
December
All my house got blown away
All my house got blown away
All my house and all my home
Walls of glass and walls of stone
Got blown away
Stations in the neon light
Your body strange as dynamite
Killers underneath our skins
Black mirrors black hyacinths
Oh my eyes
What happened to the skies
December
December
I care little for my body she said
I couldn't care less about my soul
And as she led me upstairs in whispers
My whole summer turned cold
I'll lead you upstairs
I'll lead you upstairs
If you've got no worries
Then I've got no cares
I'll lead you upstairs
I told her people had been talking
About how dark she was inside
She said said my hopes are buried in the soil Deep in the earth outside
And with one twist of the world
She brought me to her side
She asked me for the truth one time
In the bitter violet night
The stars wear sour grins
In the vastness of the black sky
I'm cradled in your arms
Unbridled by alarm
'cos I know the end is night
It's all over bar the shoutin'
One things for sure
Its all over now
Its all over now
Confusion wanders in
Strides the evening like a king
Chaos and turmoil prevail
Bedlam reigns, hope all is drowned
Ah but strangely we settle down
Resigned to the sinking ship on which we sail
Our love's just smithereens
Too much beer in my head
Another night is getting late
And I don't know where to go
There's just this long white road
And I can't think straight
Cast your eyes into the distance
Try to focus on it all
Find a spirit of resistance
Instead of pride before the fall
Forge some opposition
From disparate strands
It ain't the prettiest position
As a century ends
Unstable situation
Faces made of wax
Streams of melting glass
Sheets of butchered facts
The roar of the machine
Hooded hearts and jewelled hands
And anger spilling out like gasoline
As a century ends
Everything I seen, everything that I heard
It ain't even the tip of the iceberg
Fire down memory lane
So pass me my rose tinted glasses again
Through a fog of contradiction
Out to the lake of tears
See society admiring it's own reflection
Chase a light that shines and disappears
Careful what you say, 'cos reality offends
Just sit back and let your soul decay
As a century ends
And it's easy to get weary
As you fight to get it done
Gainst a popular theory
That it's over 'fore it's even begun
Strain the limit of compassion
Tend a wound that never mends
And honesty still out of fashion
Ever since your fingertips
Ever since your eyes
Talking with the lights on
Bluer skies
Even if I wanted to
How could I explain
Coming through my head now this
Tidal wave
All your favourite eyelashes
All your bluest skin
Bring them and I'll meet you in
That room again
Even if I told it true
Why should they believe
Coming through my head now this
Tidal wave
Tidal wave
Coming over waterloo
Dreaming of your hands
Want to run away now
Foreign lands
Even as I lie with you
Listen to you breathe
Coming through my head
Yeah this tidal wave
Tidal wave
Watch the twilight from my head
Hanging on a brighter thread
Little darling, till I see you once again
Tell the man to fill my cup
Honey I ain't gonna stop
Little darling, till I see you once again
Pinch me if I'm dreaming
I'm somewhere I've never been
When you lead me by my hand into the flame
Just the rain now on my hat
In the past what use is that
White ladder
Water and wine
Forever crying
Oh time
Don't wanna feel tonight
There's no rhyme or reason to life
This sweet life
White river
Thunder and war
Forever crying
Oh no
Don't wanna feel tonight
Ther's no rhyme or reason to life
This seet life
To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another valentine
A burning flame
To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another valentine
A burning flame
White ladder
Water and wine
Ghost on the highway
Bird with metal wings
Ghost on the highway
Bird with metal wings
Crowd all around me
Just don't hear a thing
Ghost on the highway
Bird with metal wings
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing tell me
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone me
Stand in the doorway
There in yellow light
Down in the doorway
Bathed in morning light
Saw you before me
Thought maybe it might
Down in the doorway
Under yellow light
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing tell me
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone me
You never spoke a word
But its over
I saw the way you turned your head
You never spoke a word
But its understood
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing tell me
She don't telephone
She don't telephone
She don't telephone
She don't telephone me
Sitting here late at night
Sitting here late at night
My heart is aching
Heard it all before
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
The draft blew cold under the door
When we threw wour clothes to the kitchen floor
The broccoli boils in the pan on the gas stove where you stand
Won't you take this spatula in your hand?
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
under the hem of the night
under the hem of the night
Out on the roof over havoc streets
Where the sky is a blanket each sweet kiss
so melodramatic embroidered by shadows
by the fridge I reminice
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
under the hem of the night
under the hem of the night
we stagger in the doorway and all of the sudden
the drum of the rain on the heather hills
now everything's changed and our silence is bitter
and you are all unhinged
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
we have no concern
oh we have no concern
Gonna close my eyes
Girl and watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow
As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
'cross the falling dark
Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
Perfect summers night
Not a wind that breathes
Just the bullets whispering gentle
'mongst the new green leaves
There's things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster
Then I'm leaking blood
Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love
Don't see Elysium
Don't see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the bay hotel
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won't you take my hand darling
On that old dancefloor
We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you're the one I love
You're the one I love
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
Did I imagine they held us hypnotized
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
I beg to differ
To break the chain
To draw a line right through
Tomorrow
And cancel every claim
I've seen reflections
Beneath my skin
And drums beating for battle
In the eyes of children
And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell
Oh violent flowers
You fill the screen
Betray your mother
And change your name
So tall and fickle
And blind as snow
Running headfirst for oblivion
Cause you've nowhere else to go
And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell
In chill of winter
In dead of night
Each so familiar with the hunger
That they got no appetite
They talk of loving
I hear her say
That as fast as I can give it
He's taking it away
And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell
And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell
A weeping willow
The desert wind
So many learn to swallow
So few to understand
The deepest longing
This cup of faith
Where to put them in a world
Paint me a boat, away I'll float
Into the stillness of a pure blue sky
There's nothing here to hold me now
And I got no more tears to cry
Grant me a wish, just one more kiss
Baby kiss me till the daylight's through
These are days that make you blue
And there ain't nothing more a fool can do
In and out of dreams all day
Cos tonight I'll dream about
Baby let's go walk away this time
Sing me the truth sweet bird of youth
I got some trouble trying to understand
Beneath the veils of mystery
Are these the movements of an unseen hand
Our arms are filled with sunken treasure
Our heads are filled with perfect sound
Do we truly see it, hey
Till we're placing it in the ground
Take just what you need from me
Cos tonight I'll dream about
Baby let's go walk away this time
Want to take you all away this time
Don't matter, lie to me, I'm falling
Don't need your light on me, no no
Don't need your light on me?
Paint me a boat, away I'll float
Was there in your cage
When your lion got tamed
Was up on your stage
When your childhood flamed
The sorrow and rage
But it ain't no game to me now
All the lights in London shining now
Slow ye down and stay awhile
All the lights in London shining now
Standing in line
With these abstract gifts
Counting the time
As the dragnet shifts
A quarter to nine
And the gray cloud lifts away now
All the lights in London shining now
Slow ye down and stay awhile
All the lights in London falling down
Hearing you say
With your perspect's tongue
Walking the way
Where the dreams get flung
Was never your thing
When it all goes wrong to worry, whoa
All the lights in London shining now
Slow ye down and stay awhile
All the lights in London shining now
Telling a lie
'Cause the truth just stinks
Out in the mud
Where the lightning sinks
Wishing you could
As the strip light blinks away now, whoa
All the lights in London shining now
Slow ye down and stay awhile
All the lights in London falling down
All of London falling down
All of London falling down
The hour is out of joint
Black sun has risen
And the river of words
Is flowing on through
The cages of tradition
They're handing out emptiness
We'll take it, cos it's given
Free with this plastic innocence
And these standards of living
Questions, lighted questions
Burnin' holes into my head
Hanging like shadows o'er the sun
Staring out like the eyes of the dead
And sometimes my soul flickers
As the wind of change blows cold
Over the mire of repetition
Down the corridors of rigmarole
What I say, what I think
What I put down in ink
I'm only tryin' to find a way to understand
And I mean no harm
I'm just searching for calm
In the storm of mankind
Do you find it there
In the sea of faces
That drowns you every day
Or in the silence and rubble and empty spaces
Where children and rottweilers play
Is it buried in the praise
Given so cheap
With a meaningless movement of the jaws
In the looking glass
That flatters you
Or in the rattle of hollow applause
Blind circle, moon and sun
Body willing, mind undone
One pain ending while another begins
Lies, ruin, disease
Into wounds like these
Let the truth sting
From the hub to the limit
Through the urban hollows
Out into the poles of the extreme
To echo through the numbness
Of these godless minutes
In the shadow of delusion's regime
But here watching the night
As it opens like a flower
And the day starts to rust
Feeling time pound
Like a silent hammer
On this empire of dust
And I'm thinking about the bullet
And the TV screen, the dollar, and the clenched fist
And if we're searching for peace
How come we still believe
In hatred as the catalyst
Through the borderline
In front and behind
Down the road of thorns
Between the barbwire and the soul
Bitters and chains
Is all that remains
Where the wheel has rolled
I feel it from the pit of my stomach
Into the ditch of my mind
Inside the chambers of my heart
As I stare half blind
At these walls of cardboard
At this space that I've rented
At your beauty that is crumbling
Though you try so hard to prevent it
On and on
Body willing, mind undone
One pain ending while another begins
Lies, ruin, disease
Into wounds like these
Let the truth sting
Let the truth sting
That the sky would lift
That I?d find my place
That I?d see your face in the door
And the sun would glint
On a time well spent
On a time that ain?t no more
Takes the broken hearts
In the vacant lots
To see the fruit that rots on the trees
Had to turn my head
Leave it all for dead
But it?s in my mind always
Honey, lately, I?ve been way down
Load on my mind
Honey, lately, I?ve been way down
Load on my mind
Someone tell me where did it go
Darling, I'm damned if I know
I seen that look in your eye
No one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbye, goodbye
Drag a salted kiss
From this cup of bliss
Watch a new lie twist on the breeze
You can paint it red
Or leave it all for dead
But it?s in my head always
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Load on my mind
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Load on my mind
Someone tell me where did it go
Darling, I'm damned if I know
I seen that look in your eye
No one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Now, honey, lately
Yeah, honey, lately
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Yeah, honey, lately, I've been way down
Yeah, honey, lately, I've been way down
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Lately
Oh Mary Jane
She step on a train
Head for the city lights
Yearning inside
To swim with the tide
And taste it, alright
Bag on her shoulder
Breathing the cold
There by the metal tracks
She saw it all shine
And swore in her mind
She'd never go back
And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
Na na
Couldn't have dreamed
The things that she seen
There on the avenue
She stared right into a million eyes
That looked her right through
Telling Red Joe
The places she'd go
And wiping the table clean
She got no idea
The demon of fear
Or what a broken heart mean
And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
Na na na na na not at all
Na na na na na not at all
Na na na na na not at all
Na na
New York was dark
Dirty and stark
Burning with yellow wings
Everyday come
With fever and hum
Who knows what it brings
Walking a wall
Without a thought
To fall and hit the ground
Sweet Mary Jane
With eyes like the rain
Alive to the sound
And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
Tuesday my heart is brimming
I'm a child in the wild wind
Dead leaves and daylight dimming
No beginning and no end
Inside a candle of defiance
Moonlight
A river of pearls
Cause we're going to need more
Than money and science
To see us through this world
You say it can't be done
You'd rather die of fun
Get out of the way
For me for you for everyone
Forever is tomorrow is today
Shut all the windows
Shut all the doors
We're keeping it all out of sight
We're keeping it all
It's tearing us apart
You don't know your good
From your bad from your black
From your blood from your wrong
From your right
So you camouflage your heart
I don't want no other distractions
There's too much here to see
Faint hearts or jaded reactions
Contraptions of history
You say it can't be done
You'd rather die of fun
Get out of the way
For me for you for everyone
Forever is tomorrow is today
Shut all the windows
Shut all the doors
I'm keeping it all out of sight
I'm keeping it all
It's mine and mine alone
Corrosion collision
I need a vision
To tear off the cloak of the night
And shatter eyes of stone
You say it can't be done
You'd rather die of fun
Get out of the way
For me for you for everyone
Forever is tomorrow is today
Forever is tomorrow is today
I got no reason
But that I must
Maybe I feel
Like I've been gatherin' dust
I must leave this harbour for the sea
I'm too young to settle down and make a home
But I don't know where I'm wanting to be
I just know I have to be there alone
Stole my time, all my time
Stole my time for you
Pale winter sun
Is beatin' the ground
Why'm I throwin' away
The best thing that I've found
My young heart's in tatters and I'm sure
That it will be a long time healing
It's so hard to see what I'm doing this for
When loneliness is all that I'm feeling
Stole my time, all my time
Spend my time, for you
Now the wind it is blowing
Blowing leaves from the trees
I've got no use knowing
That with time it'll ease
I don't know where I'm going
Hope I get there soon
Cos my soul is hollow
As the sorrowful moon
Na na na na...
The night is raining on my weary head
Taking me back
See the sun spread its wings of gold
As the dawn unfurls
Hear the song that the moon sings
To the darkened world
Feel the fire lighting
In the bitter cold
It's like the light that shines
Is the answer none of the above?
Crouched in a hole like a mud-streaked fugitive
Every day a different version of
Pouring it away like water through a sieve
Hey, better realize my friend
Lord in the end, now you can't take it with
Gotta live
If only for a second
I see it twinkling in your eye, gotta try
Well, it's flesh and blood and camouflage
Into the wall, now something's gotta give
Just another act of sabotage
Seen through the haze of a mind-rot sedative
When will you realize my friend?
Lord in the end, now you can't take it with
Gotta live
If only for a second
I see it twinkling in your eye, gotta try
The world that you're forsaking
Is surely more than just a lie, gotta try, yeah
Hey, better realize my friend
Lord in the end, now you can't take it with
Gotta live
If only for a second
I see it twinkling in your eye, gotta try
The world that you're forsaking
Is surely more than just a lie, gotta try
It's all there for the taking
And you don't need to justify, gotta try
Down in the parking window
I want to make my way
Into the faces flooded
The window spitting gold
But it is so cold
They make my teeth all chatter
Hate it
I like it
I don't know what it is
