I slipped softly through your slim fingers
Feeling traces, I embrace this
Feeling of letting go.
Oh and there goes, there it goes...
So take me far away
And hold me close to your heart
Do me just this little favor
For I do, yes I do love you.
Yes I do love you.
This science, sets easy
So peacefully
Like the skin, like the skin upon your body
On your body, your body
So take me far away now
And hold me close to your heart
Do me just this little favor
For I do, yes I do love you.
Little universe between our backs...
This little universe between our backs
Under this national rain cloud
I'm getting soaked to the skin
Trying to find my umbrella
But I don't know where to begin
And it's simply irrational weather
Can't even hear myself think
Constantly bailing out water
But still like I'm gonna sink
Coz I'm under the weather
Just like the world
So sorry for being so bold
When I turn out the light
You're out of sight
Although I know that I'm not alone
Feels like home
You say you feel like a natural person
You haven't got nothing to hide
So why do you feel imperfection
Cut like a sword in your side
Coz you're under the weather
Just like the world
And I need somebody to hold
When I turn out the light
You're out of sight
Although I know that I'm not alone
Feels like home
I was happy in my harbour
When you cut me loose
Floating on an ocean
And confused
Winds are whipping waves up
Like sky scrapers
And the harder they hit me
The less I seem to bruise
Oh when I
Find the controls
I'll go where I like
I'll know where I want to be
But maybe for now
I'll stay right here
On a silent sea
Locked inside your head
Do you realize the things you said
Never made sense?
We can sit here and laugh
But we don't know the half of it
In your defense
We've been talking a while
And it seems to me each time you smile
Lights are coming on
But they don't burn too strong
And they won't stay for long
And then they're gone again
Funnyman
Gotta plan for the something wonderful
Funnyman
Listening to the world turning on itself
Tuning into a brand new universe
Funnyman
You'll never be anything else
Do you remember the night
When I had to play your angel
Saving your soul?
Even though you were holding on tight
Part of you was taken
By your demons below
And with no one to lose
You said you feel like a bruise
On a beautiful body
And all the damage you do
It is so honest and true
I don't wanna feel sorry for you
Funnyman
Gotta plan for the something wonderful
Funnyman
Listening to the world turning on itself
Tuning into a brand new universe
Funnyman
The wind is cold tonight
Or so I am told
I don't really know
And as I kill my life
There's nothing left to show
How does that blow hit you?
And if I change am I denying what was said?
If I remain the same
am I creating greater problems instead?
Do you ever think you're being thought about?
Do you still believe we need to sort things out?
Does it matter now
All those things we said
I want to know can I still creep into your bed at night?
Leave your head alone
Well, the wind is cold tonight
Or so I am told
I don't really know, no
And as I kill my life
There's nothing left to show
How does that blow hit you?
And if I change am I denying what was said?
If I remain the same
am I creating greater problems instead?
Do you ever think you're being thought about?
Do you still believe we need to sort things out?
Does it matter now
All those things we said
I want to know can I still creep into your bed at night?
If I was looking for you
Would you be easy to find
Would I be looking all night?
And if I got lost
Would you go looking for me?
Or would you be alright
On your own?
Oh in the light of day
It feels right
Comfortable to the bone
From head to toe
Gone the evening when the shadows fall
Will I call your name?
But it's not the same as having you here
If I was a second too late
Or a moment too soon
Or an hour too long
Tell me baby would you wait a bit longer?
I wonder if you would
Or would you be long gone?
Would you be long, would you be long
Oh in the light of day
It feels right
Comfortable to the bone
From head to toe
Gone the evening when the shadows fall
Will I call your name?
But it's not the same as having you here
Cause having you here
Is knowing your near
As a feeling you left
Is knowing you can
Cause whispering in your ear
As my hands in your hair
As knowing your there
Oh in the light of day
It feels right
Comfortable to the bone
From head to toe
Gone the evening when the shadows fall
Will I call your name?
I need a mirror
In the eyes of a man
I need no protection
From my bulletproof plan
And I've got a ticket
For all that I like
You might think that I'm gone for good
But I know that I'm coming back
Sit at my table
Sip from my bowl
Feel like I know you now
And I will do until I get old
You might not see me
But trust that I'll stay
But there's no sense in traveling
If we've already been that way
Night is a matter
Hidden in grass
Bite like a light depends on the ways
To see how long it lasts
But you know better
You stand your ground
It might just stain a little
But she knows you're sticking around
The beauty of uncertainty
The beauty of uncertainty
The beauty of uncertainty
(Beauty of uncertainty)
The beauty of uncertainty
(Beauty of uncertainty)
The beauty of uncertainty
(Beauty of uncertainty)
The beauty of uncertainty
(Beauty of uncertainty)
The beauty of uncertainty
(Beauty of uncertainty)
Beauty of uncertainty
A fire burns
Water comes
You cool me down
When I'm cold inside
You are warm and bright
You know you are so good for me
With your child's eyes
You are more than you seem
You see into space
I see in your face
The places you've been
The things you have learned
They sit with you so beautifully
You know there's no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you're miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you
Just like stars burning bright
Making holes in the night
We are building bridges
You know
When you're on your own
I'll send you a sign
Just so you know
Well it's you I adore
And I want everyone to know
That I am yours
Let all the little flowers bloom once more
For I am truly a part of you
And you are a part of me
Up into the sky
Look as far as the eye can see
You´re in my life
As something I am needing
Two people rising
My eyes on you
To do what you do with me
You and me
No other love
No no
I want you between me and the feeling I get
When I miss you
But everything here is telling me I should be fine
So why is it so above as below
That I'm missing you every time
I got used to you whispering things to me
Into the evening
We follow the sun and his colors left this world
It seems to me that I'm definitely
Hearing the best that I've heard
So throw me a rope
To hold me in place
Show me a clock
For counting my days down
Cause everything's easier when your beside me
Come back and find me
Cause I feel alone
And whenever you go
It's like holding my breath under water
I have to admit
That I kinda like it when I do
Oh but I got to be unconditionally
Unafraid of my days without you
So throw me a rope
To hold me in place
Show me a clock
For counting my days down
Cause everything's easier when your beside me
Come back and find me
Whenever I'm falling
You're always behind me
Come back and find me
Everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
As I walk away
I look over my shoulder
To see what I'm leaving behind
Pieces of puzzles
Wishes on eyelashes fail
Oooooh!
How do I show all the love
Inside my heart
Well this is all new
And I'm feeling my way through the dark
And I used to talk
With honest conviction
Of how I predicted my world
I'm gonna leave it to to star gazers
Tell me what your telescope says
Oh what is in store for me now?
It's coming apart
I know that it's true
'cause I'm feeling my way through the dark
Try to find a light on somewhere
Try to find a light on somewhere
I'm finding I'm falling in love with the dark over here
Oh oh what do I know I don't care
Where I start
For my troubles are few
As I'm feeling my way through the dark
Through the dark
Lord, give me grace
And dancing feet
And the power to impress
Lord, give me grace
And dancing feet
Let me outshine the moon
Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best
Runner up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you?
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice,
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle I will outshine them all
Standing on the packed dance floor
Our bodies throb in time
Silent on the weekdays
Tonight I claim what’s mine
Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best
Runner up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you?
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice,
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle I will outshine them all
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice,
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And i will charm, I will slice
Down down cut me down so I can lie on familiar ground
Oh I've witnessed all that you ignore
and I don't wanna see it no more
Hold your knife steady and plunge it deep
Im more than ready for the secrets I keep
Oh I can feel and I can see that the hidden part is the
heart of me
youthink you sit upon my grave but I'll be here.....
when your children rule the day
OH down down cut me down so I can lie on familiar ground
well I´ve witnessed all that you ignore and I dont wanna
see it no more
hold your knife steady and plunge it deep I´m more than
ready for the stories I keep
Oh I can feel and I can see that the hidden part is the
heart of me
you think you sit upon my grave but I'll be here.....
when your children rule the day
Yes I can speak and I shall say that the crack and whip?
is the difficult way
you think you sit upon my grave but I'll be here.....
So you think it's funny
That you keep calling me all of the time
Everyday
Oh honey
Don't want to be following and falling behind
If you're gonna be walking away
And I don't know
Why I wouldn't follow
Wouldn't follow
You got me looking up
Even when I'm falling down
You got me crawling out of my skin
You got me wondering why
I am underneath this big old sky
Stopping the loving getting in
Stopping the loving getting in
Now you say it's easy
That you been falling for all of my charm
And getting lost in my smile
Never ceases to amaze me
When I'm chancing my arm
That I still do it with style
And now I hope
You'll be with me tomorrow
With me tomorrow
You got me looking up
Even when I'm falling down
You got me crawling out of my skin
You got me wondering why
I am underneath this big old sky
Stopping the loving getting in
Stopping the loving getting in
You got me looking up
Even when I'm falling down
You got me crawling out of my skin
You got me wondering why
I am underneath this big old sky
I think it's time to put myself away
Seek out a little silence
Close the doors and sit a while
And walk a little
And as I put my words away
The flow slows
See this penny in the stream
Pickin? it up is easy
Follow the shape of it
Jump in
Swallow it whole
Jump in
Even though I know my way around
Possibly there's something that I found
Holdin? on for findin' solid ground
Someday soon, someday soon
Gonna turn myself into the grass
And I'll grow
Take this space above my head
And live a little, little
Gonna wear my feathered headdress
Like an Indian chief
Gonna stretch out both my arms
I'm gonna test the temperature
Follow the taste of it
Jump in
Swallow it whole
Jump in
Even though I know my way around
Possibly there's something new I found
Holdin? on for findin' solid ground
Oh, oh, oh
Even though I know my way around
Possibly there's something new I found
Holdin? on for findin' solid ground
Someday soon, someday soon
Maybe walk a little
Someday soon
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "You Hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather
would be
Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together
See the look on my face
From staying too long in one place
But every time I try to leave
I find I keep on stalling
Feel like a big old stone
Standing by a strength of my own
But every time the morning breaks
I know I'm closer to falling
I'm all out of love, all out of faith
I would give everything just for a taste
Everything's here, all out of place
Losing my memory, saving my face
Saving my face, saving my face
Saving my face.
Listening to what you say
Even though I look the toher way
You could neve rundertsnad the feeling
Of what I'm leaving
I'm all out of love, all out of faith
I would give everything just for a taste
Everything's here, all out of place
Losing my memory, saving my face
Saving my face...
Whoa, ooh...
Leave it all to me
I will do the right thing
Baby I'll be everything I need
Leave it all to me
I will do the right thing
Baby I'll be everything I need
Leave it all to me
I will do the right thing
Do the right thing
I'm all out of love, all out of faith
I would give everything just for a taste
Everything's here, all out of place
Losing my memory, I'm losing the best of me.
I'm all out of love, all out of faith
I would give everything just for a taste
Everything's here, all out of place
Losing my memory, saving my face
Saving my face...
Well I'm feeling stupid, thick and tired
Faking through and wrongly wired
Revolving slowly and slowly and slow
And every time I'm washed away
Come up for air in other ways
Revolving slowly and slowly and slow
Yes, I am!
And I feel like I do now
'Cause I was talked to and brought to this
And I need like I do now
While I am
I'm caught inside this riptide
So save our souls
Don't hold me, let me go!
I'm into you
Now I'm standing on the edge
And the area's oh so clear
The view is so outstanding
And it's sounding in my ears
Come thundering
Now the weather's come and gone
I feel flippancy and fear
Wrapped my mind around you
So it feels like you're near
Under my skin
(chorus#1)
Well I sense a warmth inside this darkness
Feel a hand upon my head
Realize that I am relatively special
So I'm quiet instead
Yes I'm quiet instead
(same as 1rst verse)
Now I open up my ears
(Rise up?) in my eyes
Open up my heart so I can feel with my mind
Set the wheels in motion
Now I glide along the street
With the wind inside my..?
Flapping my wings and I'm wagging my tail
Like a boat on the ocean
(chorus#2)
And I don't need to shout out
I don't need to cry out loud
Don't need to write it down
'Cause I can find a way to get away
And be the way and see the way I am now
May you always
May you always walk in home(?)
May your days just be a way to walk upon a great high
road
When the dark comes, when the dark comes to your door
Will you deny him, don't recognize him
He's not welcome anymore
In your life, In your life, In your life
In the forest, in the forest when you hear
Something that scares you, then be aware that it's
freightened of you too
You can push that knot away, you can push that knot
away
Yes you can Push that knot away, you can push that knot
away yeah
You can push that knot away, you can push that knot
away
And in the morning, in the morning when you wake
It is a doorway for you to walk through to become what
you make
And just remember, you have heaven in your heart
It is inside you, and it will guide you, so long as you
listen hard
In your life, in your life, in your life
IT'S PAUL SIMONON'S BASS FROM THE CLASH!! (hahahah)
Daisy you know this, You know this already (repeat 4x)
Well you can Push that knot away
You can Push that knot away, aham
You can Push that knot away, aham
You can push that knot away! You can push that knot
away! (Daisy, you know this, You know this already)
You can push that knot away! You can push that knot
away! (Daisy, you know this,You know this already)
You won't regret it, i'm betting , if you push that
knot away (Daisy, you know this,You know this already)
You won't regret it, i'm betting , if you push that
knot away (Daisy, you know this,You know this already)
Yes you can push that knot away, you can push that knot
away...
Well this stone that I have swallowed
Isn't going down so well
And this road that I have followed
Is leading me to Hell
And you said it didn't matter
But I think you're a liar
Is this one of your talents
That stokes the very fire that burns you
Each time you try to live
And the earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
And something has to give
Oh something has to give
And when I build you a steeple
You say it's incomplete
'Cause you need the whole cathedral
To satisfy the need
And you're like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying blind through anything
Straight into the hand that chokes you
Each time you try to live
And the earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
And something has to give
Oh something has to give
Well you're like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying blind through anything
Straight into the hand
Well you're like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying blind through anything
Straight into the hand that chokes you
Each time you try to live
And the earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
The pressure is building
The fire that burns you
Each time you try to live
And the earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
And something has to give
Something has to give
Something has to give
Something has to give
Something has to give
Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change but she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water
All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same just like water
And the fire fades away, most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses but it's to hard to say
I wish it were simple but we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me
And on comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come to move along
And the fire fades away, most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses but it's to hard to say
I wish it were simple but we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world
Can you help me? Can you let me go?
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore?
And the fire fades away, most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses but it's to hard to say
I wish it were simple but we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world
You're the other side of the world
Look up and he'll seem far away
They still see more than you
And on my back I see these clouds above
They still love me
More than you
And I know I don't have to wait for words
I can walk away and listen to the birds
Listen to the birds
They don't sing the things I want to hear
They don't change, they stay the same
I would dearly love to run away
From you're shadow
For just one day
Cause I would dearly love to run away
From you're shadow
For just one day
And I don't ever want to steal your time
Cause you seem fine
But I feel blue
I don't want to say the things I do
Cause I know I feel it more than you
And I know I don't have to wait for words
I can walk away and listen to the birds
Listen to the birds
Cause they don't sing the things I want to hear
They don't change, they stay the same
I would dearly love to run away
From you're shadow
For just one day
Oh and I would dearly love to run away
From you're shadow
For just one, just one, just one day
Oh yeah, yeah,yeah
Well I know I don't want to wait for you
I could turn around and order somebody new, order somebody new yeah
Someone that says the things I need to hear
Doesn't change someone who stays the same
When I need yeah
Well I would dearly love to run away
From you're shadow
For just one day
Cause I would dearly love to run away
From you're shadow
Don't come near me
I'm not the one to save your skin
But if the stars have brought you here
Then here you are
Lock me into something new
Something different from this
Cause I need bliss in the solar system
(In the solar system...)
I'm a lighthouse on the edge of the rocks
But my warning light is fading. (2x)
Don't think you need to carry me upon your back
I ask you what do you believe?
I remember looking upward
To a night like pepper
Chorus
Well I tried hard not to get caught in the lamp light
But it’s easy simply to head for the heat
And my mind is miles away at the seaside
And meanwhile my body just folows my feet
And I’m flying higher yeah yeah
Doing what I do
Flying higher yeah yeah
Going where I choose
So I thank you for lending yourself to my senses
My defences are finding the grip has come loose
And I fly up high up and over the treetops
Fear drops and my sky’s wherever I choose
And I’m flying higher yeah yeah
Doing what I do
Flying high yeah yeah
Going where I choose
So take this time
See what you do to yourself and my name (?)
Flying blind
I find my wings
I intertwine
Just for the blink of an eye
And I’m flying higher yeah yeah
Doing what I do
Flying higher yeah yeah
I don't want to be second best
Don't want to stand in line
Don't want to fall behind
Don't want to get caught out
Don't want to do without
And the lesson I must learn
Is that I've got to wait my turn
Looks like I got to be hot and cold
I got to be taught and told
Got to be good as gold
But perfectly honest
I think it would be good for me
Coz it's a hindrance to my health
I'm a stranger to myself
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees
Well I must be my own master
Or a miniature disaster will be
It will be the death of me
I don't have to raise my voice
Don't have to be underhand
Just got to understand
That it's gonna be up and down
It's gonna be lost and found
And I can't take to the sky
Before I like it on the ground
And i need to be patient
And i need to be brave
Need to discover
How i need to behave
And I'll find out the answers
When i know what to ask
But i speak a different language
And everybody's speaking too fast
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees
Well I must be my own master
I've got to run a little faster
I need to know I'll last if a little
Miniature disaster hits me
It'll be lonely this Christmas
without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
this Christmas.
Try to imagine a house that's not a home
Try to imagine a Christmas all alone
That's where I'll be since you left me
My tears could melt the snow
What can I do without you?
I ve got no place, no place to go.
It'll be lonely this Christmas
without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
this Christmas.
It'll be lonely this Christmas
without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
this Christmas.
Walkin? around in a daze, out for days now it?s been
Talkin? it up as amazin', a maze that I'm in
Look at lonely stars for the answers
But all that I found was silence and dirty ground
If only you could see me now
(If only, if only, if only, if only, if)
If only you could hear me out
(If only, if only, if only, if only, if)
If only it was only me now
Listen just a little bit harder for I always tell the truth
Is it just a piston in an engine that keep you movin'
You're lookin' like you're lookin' for somethin'
And now you're surrounded by silence
If only you could see me now
(If only, if only, if only, if only, if)
If only you could hear me out
(If only, if only, if only, if only, if)
If only it was only me now
In silence, silence, silence
You're surrounded by silence, silence, silence
Yes, you're surrounded by silence, silence, silence
You're surrounded by silence, silence
If only you could see me now
(If only, if only, if only, if only, if)
If only you could hear me out
(If only, if only, if only, if only, if)
If only it was only me now
If only you could see me now
(If only, if only, if only, if only, if)
If only you could hear me out
(If only, if only, if only, if only, if)
If only it was only me now
If only it was only me now
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch
when glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
coro:
Oh baby give me one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
Now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
oh oh yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby yeah
(I want you back)
yeah yeah yeah yeah
(I want you back)
oh oh darlin
Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on
I leave tearstains on the ground
Following the girl
I didn't even want around
Oh baby give me one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
Now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
oh oh yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby yeah
(I want you back)
oh oh na na
(I want you back)
I want you back (7x)
All i want
All i need
All i want now
Baby i want you back
baby yeah yeah
Oh baby I was blind to let you go
Won't you please let me
(back to your heart)
Oh baby give one more chance
show you that I love you
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
oh oh yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
oh oh yeah yeah
Show me what it is you've done
Pull the covers off in front of everyone
So you want us all to see
What you created for yourself in spite of me
You can try to tie me down
You can try to string me up
But you have no luck now
Please don't ever let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be my friend again
Because I don't want you, I don't want you now
I don't want you now
So now you learned to make your bed
Forbid for me to
Truth is I could have pulled you home
But you already advertised that I had slashed the tires
Of your one man show
You can try to tie me down
You can try to stitch me up
But you have no luck now
Please don't ever let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be my friend again
Because I don't want you, I don't want you now
I don't want you now
I know, what you know...
Two fears that I could have posed...
You can try to tie me down
You can try to string me up
But you have no luck now
Please don't ever let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be my friend again
Because I don't want you, I don't want you now
Hopeless
Everybody says it's just another decay of the soul
But I know I'm a hopeless follower of anything
To take me away from this hole in the ground
I found it hopeless clinging to a feeling
Like a fish on a line
It's sublime to find it lately hopeless
No more saying there is no more time
I've was trying far too hard
To be what I thought I should be
I was playing wild cards
And seeing things that weren't in front of me
Like a little tiger play fighting
I was hurting myself again and again
Because I'm hopeless
Everybody says it's just another decay of the soul
But I know I'm a hopeless follower of anything
To take me away from this hole in the ground
I found it hopeless clinging to a feeling
Like a fish on a line
It's sublime to find it lately hopeless
No more saying there is no more time
There is no more time
Well, I'm just discovering I'm living in a different body
Got a little insight into everything that's happening to me
Like a little spider I'm climbing the insurmountable
But I never hold myself accountable, no
Because I'm hopeless, everybody says I'm hopeless
But I got a bit of hopelessness
Oh, and you can never bring me down
Even though I've got some solid ground
Oh, because I love it so and I think you should know
That I'm hopeless
Everybody says it's just another decay of the soul
But I know I'm a hopeless follower of anything
To take me away from this hole in the ground
I found it hopeless clinging to a feeling
Like a fish on a line
It's sublime to find it lately hopeless, hopeless, hopeless
Say you to me
You're a bird with an eye for anything shiny
Searchin' the land
For a hero of a man
You say I need
More than my fair share of attention
But I think you know
That just isn't so
Underneath, I felt the fire of a burning question
Tearin' me apart
Right from the very start
And now I see
That it don't take a trick of the light to excite me
So strong
So long
You'll see
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
To what you
Know you got
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you're ready or not
Simplicity
A heart of gold, an old head, and young shoulders
Quiet and lovely
Becomin' part of me
And now I see
From a handful of names and a thousand faces
One light, burnin', furiously
I was tired of January
I was tired of June
I felt a change a-comin'
Oh, I was tired of January
Tired of June
I felt a change a-comin'
Oh, I felt a change a-comin
I felt a change a-comin
felt a change a-comin, soon
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
To what you
Know you got
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you're ready or not
Oh yeah, well the world will turn if you're ready or not
It isn't very difficult to see why
You are the way you are
Doesn't take a genius to realise
That sometimes life is hard
It's gonna take time
But you'll just have to wait
You're gonna be fine
But in the meantime
Come over here lady
Let me wipe your tears away
Come a little nearer baby
Coz you'll heal over
Heal over
Heal over someday
And I don't wanna hear you tell yourself
That these feelings are in the past
You know it doesn't mean they're off the shelf
Because pain's built to last
Everybody sails alone
But we can travel side by side
Even if you fail
You know that no one really minds
Come over here lady
Don't hold on but don't let go
I know it's so hard
You've got to try to trust yourself
I know it's so hard, so hard
Come over here lady
Let me wipe your tears away
Come a little nearer baby
Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin
Desert wind, cool your aching head
Weight of the world
Drift away instead
Oh, these days I hardly get by
I don't even try
There's a treacherous road
With a desolated view
As distant lights
They hear their foreign view
Sun don't shine
Even when it's day
Drive all night
Just to feel like you're okay
Oh, these days I barely get by
I don't even try
The girl and the ghost
Sit in the corner
The girl and the ghost
Seems they have a lot to say
The girl and the ghost
Haven't seen each other in 3 years
The girl and the ghost
Feel simple seconds slipped away
Slipped away
The ghost and the girl
Commonly connected by something bigger
A phenomenal set of the eternal trigger
That lets the light through that usually goes
Around and around and around
The girl and the ghost
Meet in the corridor
The girl and the ghost
They touch fingers and walk right through
The girl and the ghost
Feel so familiar and fearless
The girl and the ghost
Know each other like other people do whoa
Other people do
Other people do
The ghost and the girl
Commonly connected by something bigger
A phenomenal set of the eternal trigger
That lets the light through that usually
Ghost and the girl
Commonly connected by well something bigger
A phenomenal set of the eternal trigger
That lets the light through that usually goes
Around and around and around
usually goes
Around and around and around
I'm trying to put this thing to bed
I've drugged it in its sleep
There isn't many memories
I'm comfortable to keep
This ball keeps rolling on
It's heading for the streets
Keep expecting you to send for me
The invitation never comes
Each time I turn around
There's nothing there at all
So tell me why I feel like
I'm up against a wall
But maybe it's a flase alarm
And all the answers sound the same
Just colours bleeding into one
That doesn't have a name
Maybe I can't see
Maybe it's just me
Now the curtain's coming up
The audience is still
I'm struggling to cater for
The space I'm meant to fill
And distance doesn't care
Each time I turn around
There's nothing there at all
So tell me why I feel like
I'm up against a wall
But maybe it's a flase alarm
And all the answers sound the same
Just colours bleeding into one
That doesn't have a name
Maybe I can't see
Maybe it's just me
I'm trying to put this thing to bed
I drugged it in its sleep
Remember what you said
It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So Happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
[Two, three, four]
[woo-hoo, woo-hoo]
[woo-hoo, woo-hoo]
Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
[Woo-hoo, woo-hoo]
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
[woo-hoo, woo-hoo]
I felt a little fear upon my back
It said "Don't look back, just keep on walking."
[woo-hoo, woo-hoo]
When the big black horse said, "Look this way."
He said, "Hey There lady will you marry me?"
[woo-hoo, woo-hoo]
But I said no, no, no, no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
No, no, no, no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
[hoooo, woo-hoo]
And my heart hit a problem, in the early hours,
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
[woo-hoo, woo-hoo]
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done it,
And it won't forgive me after all these years
[woo-hoo, woo-hoo]
So I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
[woo-hoo, woo-hoo]
Now it won't come back, 'cause it's oh so happy
And now I've got a hole for the world to see
[woo-hoo, woo-hoo]
And it said no, no, no, no-no-no
Said no, no, you're not the one for me
No, no, no, no-no-no
Said no, no, you're not the one for me
[hooo, woo-hoo]
{Not the one for me}
[hooo, woo-hoo]
Said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You're not the one for me
[woo-hoo]
No, no, no, no,[woo-hoo] no, no, no,[woo-hoo] no, no
You're not the one for me
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me
yeah yeah yeah [woo-hoo]
Big black horse[woo-hoo] and a cherry tree [woo-hoo]
Are you blind
Blind to me trying to be kind
Volunteering for your firing line
Waiting for one precious sign
The flicker of a smile
You should try it just once in a while
Maybe it's not quite your style
It's simply too easy to do
And you might not see it through
Are you proud
To have founded a brand new behaviour
With hatred and hurt as your saviour
But nobody's choosing to follow
So you choke back the tears and you swallow
Men who have ruined your life
You consume them with minimum strife
But now you have got indigestion
The antacid comes as a question
Find yourself another place to fall
Find yourself up against another brick wall
See yourself as a fallen angel
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Are you alive
Is there a young woman hiding inside
Does she know that we're trying to help her
Is she totally frozen with fear
If you let her come out for a day
She might even like it and stay
But it's gonna take you to invite her
Coz you seem so determined to spite her
Find yourself
There isn't much more I can say
Since you've been gone
Gone to the dogs
In a round about way
You're still sing
Singing along
I can see it in your face
Everywhere you go
I'm there with you
Still part of you
Never let you go at it alone
If you do
I'll make sure you are standing on your feet
Cause life could be sweet
But now you're gone
Gone to the dogs
I don't know you like I did
So why don't you say
Say it out loud
All these things you hold inside of yourself
Holding on tight
As if you're frightened of the ride
Everywhere you go
It goes with you
Takes part of you
And never lets you go at it alone
If it would I know you could be so much more than this
And life could be bliss
I never hold you up
And no I'll never let you down
You know I do my best
If I ever held you up
No, you never let me down
You let yourself down, let me down
But now you're gone
Gone to the dogs
I am a pain in your ass
And I'm wondering how long it's gonna last
Be my mirror, be my friend,
Be the workhouse of the energy
I twist your arm to spin
Everyday, like a power station
You know it isn't good
I know you're burning too much wood
Oh, when you burn out
The twisted irony is
Your ashes come home to me
Come home to me
So we take a walk
To make some sense
And I'm wondering if you fancy my defence
I have pushed you
Way too far
And you say "fuck you little princess
Who the hell do you think you are?"
Everyday, like a power station
You know it isn't good
You know you're burning too much wood
But I said if you burn out
The twisted irony is
Your ashes come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Yeah well your ashes come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
'Cause no other sucker's gonna have you
on the fucking mantelpiece
The mantelpiece
Her face is a map of the world, is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl, she's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
People who surround her feel the benefit of it, it makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
And I feel like walking the world, like walking the world
And you can hear she's a beautiful girl, she's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember what you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on a wire
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
That this is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
And she's taller than most and she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from the page of a magazine
She makes me feel like I could be a tower, big strong tower yeah
The power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah
(Suddenly I see)
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah
(Suddenly I see)
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah yeah
(Suddenly I see)
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah
(Suddenly I see)
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
?Cause this is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
And now the marriage vow is very sacred
The man has put us together now
You ought to make it stick together
Come on, come on, let's stick together
You know we made a vow not to leave one another never
But now you never miss your water 'til your well runs dry
Come on now baby give our love a try
Let's stick together, c'mon c'mon let's stick together
You know we made a vow not to leave one another never
Well if you're stuck for a while consider our child
How can it be happy without its ma and pa
Lets stick together, cmon cmon lets stick together
You know we made a vow not to leave one another never
Now if you're stuck for a while consider our child
How can it be happy without its ma and pa
Lets stick together, cmon cmon lets stick together
You twist my time
and I don't want you to
'cause I was happy at the volume I was at
Before you turn me up
And I'm, oh, so loud
That I'm deafening myself
Above the buzzing of the crowd
You are so cool
Then my temperature must be a little bit chilly
'Cause you melt me every time.
And I look your way
and you send me rocketing high
Because you don’t notice my eyes.
And I'm armoured with nothing
but the space between you and I
I’m enamoured by you... by you.
Last night in slumber
I met you walking upon some astroplane circumstance
And your breath upon my back convinced me that
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
White bird with a black tail
Half dark, and a face so pale
Do you know what your future holds?
Over your side of the road
White bird with a black tail
You look like an open sail
Made me look up from your shoes
To show me what you stand to lose.
White bird, white bird
With your face so pale
White bird, white bird
Where'd you get that tail?
White bird, white bird
With a black tail
White feathers dipped in tar
Hard to tell how old you are
Wondering how much you know
About all of us below
Half of you is heavenly,
Showing off your purity.
The rest of you is from the street
Like to laugh where they both meet
White bird, white bird
With your face so pale
White bird, white bird
Where'd you get that tail?
White bird, white bird
With your face so pale
White bird, white bird
Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an Iceberg
Waiting to change,
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like
the water,
All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water
Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
to me
On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers
and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along
Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore
Then the fire fades away
most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
Ohh.... the other side of the world
You're.... the other side of the world
You write your songs of love
Like the channel of the century
And I'm receiving like I'm meant to be impressed
By you
Following your lust
Like an intrepid adventurer
While you leave your trail of disaster
Sing it
Like you've never said it before
Mean it
With your wasted heart
Try to believe that theres
Something to stay for
But theres always before and after
For the Entertainer
Time
Folds out on itself
Like a never-ending mystery
And I wonder will there ever be enough
Time
To write your book of wrongs
And delight us like a bachelor
Is that why they call you
The Entertainer
Sing it
Like you've never said it before
Mean it
With your wasted heart
Try to believe that theres
Something to stay for
But theres always before and after
Well call this number now
Even though I’m feeling low myself
I’ll try and help
Talk for as long as you can afford
Pay me with your idle chatter
I’ll give you my usual patter
You may be mad as a hatter
Voices never tell
CHORUS: If I fill a space that so is hollow
Surely peak rate doesn't matter
Rule the world and marry Francis
I'm sorry that this call is tapped
So there's no trouble
After 10 the rates go double
But if you are on a roll
We'll carry on long distance kissing
I'll be the brunette that you are missing
Well if I could see your eyes
Maybe I could take you as sincere
But as it stands, you're just a joke for the girls in
the bar
Please don't think your name is sticking
As you watch your units ticking
I know if I ask you to hold
Ask me if you carn
[CHORUS]
Early one mornin the sun was shinin,
I was layin in bed
Wondrin if shed changed at all
If her hair was still red.
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like mamas homemade dress
Papas bankbook wasnt big enough.
And I was standin on the side of the road
Rain fallin on my shoes
Heading out for the east coast
Lord knows Ive paid some dues gettin through,
Tangled up in blue.
She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
But I used a little too much force.
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out west
Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best.
She turned around to look at me
As I was walkin away
I heard her say over my shoulder,
Well meet again someday on the avenue,
Tangled up in blue.
I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the ax just fell.
So I drifted down to new orleans
Where I happened to be employed
Workin for a while on a fishin boat
Right outside of delacroix.
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind,
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
Tangled up in blue.
She was workin in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer,
I just kept lookin at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear.
And later on as the crowd thinned out
Is just about to do the same,
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said to me, dont I know your name?
I muttered somethin underneath my breath,
She studied the lines on my face.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
Tangled up in blue.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
I thought youd never say hello, she said
You look like the silent type.
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an italian poet
From the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin coal
Pourin off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.
I lived with them on montague street
In a basement down the stairs,
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air.
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died.
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside.
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn,
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin on like a bird that flew,
Tangled up in blue.
So now Im goin back again,
I got to get to her somehow.
All the people we used to know
Theyre an illusion to me now.
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenters wives.
Dont know how it all got started,
I dont know what theyre doin with their lives.
But me, Im still on the road
Headin for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
No I know I took for granted that things
Would always go the way I wanted oh
I was going to be a treetop
A sea, a boat, a rock of ages
I dont always get it right
I'd see it in a different kind of light
Pay my lip service
Keep it eloquent
Optimistic but
Never quite elegant
Still a weirdo
Still a weirdo, after all these years
I'd always thought it's automatic
To grow into a soul less static
But here I am upon the same spot
Attempting to lift off into space
I dont always get it right
But a thousand different ways
And I just might
Pay my lip service
Keep it eloquent
Optimistic but
Never quite elegant
Still a weirdo
Still a weirdo, after all these years
Still a weirdo
Still a weirdo, after all these years
Pay my lip service
Keep it eloquent
Optimistic but
Never quite elegant
Still a weirdo
Still a weirdo, after all these years
Still a weirdo
Still a weirdo, after all these years
You are the up, my darling, and I am the down.
You wear the smile, my darling, and I wear the frown.
You are the winner whereas I always lose.
You walk all over me because you wear the shoes.
You say you're high and I am low,
but you're a liar, now I know.
You're just a stepping stone that help me on my way
and you can lay down low.
Lay down low
you can lay down low. (3x)
You are the right, you know, and I am the wrong.
I am the silence while you sing a song.
You keep me for yourself while I am alone.
You suck the life from me and I am just skin and bone.
And now it's time for me to show
that there's an arrow in my bow.
You think I'm lost in you but I have found
that you can lay down low.
Lay down low
you can lay down low. (3x)
Where skin lies on bones
with the bones so thin.
I do so with, I do disguise the things that lie within.
How many times? How many faces?
How many years? How many places?
And I know the faces that I have seen
Recognise the places where I have been
If I try...
Do you have me in your memory?
Have I dented your soul?
Could you mould my face from cold clay?
In the darkness...
Would you fall?
How many lies below my window
run around my head and beneath my pillow?
I know the faces inside my head
Haven't got a place to go instead
You grew wings, on your heart
But you let it out your ribcage,
and it flew into the dark
Like a ghost, just like a ghost
And it flutters by my window
When I need my sleep the most..
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about it everyday, starting to notice you're
fading away
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a
shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
You want eyes, in your hands,
and power in your pocket,
as I stop to watch you dance
With your hips swinging they shake, hips swinging, got
your
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, again..
Got your hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got
your
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, again, again
and again, and again
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about you everyday, starting to notice..
Two steps forward and one step back,
Make up in love what you think I lack,
You've got a vampire on your neck,
Everybody knows what happens next
You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a
shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a
shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a
shadow, fade..
The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Lots of people around
Baby please come home
The church bells in town
All ringing in song
Full of happy sounds
Baby please come home
[Chorus:]
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home
If there was a way
I'd hold back this tear
But it's Christmas day
Please please please please
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Tell me how I can find
Something to compare
To this kiss so fine
I've been looking everywhere
What used to be wrong is right
Honey can you see
How your lightening
Coming down striking me
How your lightening
Coming down striking me
You're a good moon
You're good food
When it's a bad day, anyway
You're a la-li-lighthouse
On a dark night
Too tired to fight it anyway
Familiar to your sound
Like honey when you breathe
In and out
Oh you know you pacify me
And if I go tomorrow
I wanna thank you for today
For being together
Even on a bad day
Cos you're a good moon
You're good food
When it's a bad day, anyway
And you're a la-la-la-lighthouse
On a dark night
Hes gone 2000 miles
Its very far
The snow is falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you
The children will sing
Hell be back at christmastime
In these frozen and silent nights
Sometimes in a dream you appear
Outside under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow sparkle
Our hearts were singing
It felt like christmastime
2000 miles
Is very far through the snow
Ill think of you
Wherever you go
Hes gone 2000 miles
Its very far
The snow is falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you
I can hear people singing
It must be christmastime
I hear people singing
