Wide eyed, grinning in to darkened room, sipping cactus brandy from a china spoon, coming in the morning
in the afternoon, forgetting. So tired wating for the end to come, fully dead already but forevery young,
hello, my dearest father it's your favorite son, there's somethings that i'm regretting. I am destroyer,
i am lover, i am destroyer, i am lover. i love one thing, destroy the other. i am destroyer, i am lover.
i agypsy told my fortune then i told her hers, i said "you'll die high in the mountains wrapped in
silver furs. You'll be looking for ytour lover in hte midnight sun and you'll perish for your lover when
the frost has begun." i have a way of seeing and it's nearly gone, and nobody was listening so i wrote
this song. and hwen you know the chrus, you can sing along, you destroy the thing you love, even though
you know it's wrong. i am destroyer, i am lover. i am destroyer, i am lover. why love onething and not
Tremor of light
The sky, a porcelain wall
Landing at Heathrow, a Tuesday in the fall
You are sleeping next to me
I just let go your hand
I hope I can go through with this
I hope you understand
I leave you dreaming in row twelve
Run quickly down the escalator
At customs I am first in line
You wake now, it's three minutes later
I am gone
I am gone
I am gone
I am gone
M40 night
London, a blur behind me
Leave from Heathrow at the dawn
No one will ever find me
You will look for five more days
You will trawl the city night
Then you'll make yourself forget me
I'll fade into the half-light
I am gone
I am gone
I am gone
I am gone
I am gone
I am gone
I am gone
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
The pleasure part, the afterthought, the missing stone in the graveyard
The time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to become a man
The dust at dawn is rained upon, attaches itself to everyone
No one is spared, no one is clean
It travels places you've never been or seen before
The night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
You drop a coin into the sea, and shout out "Please come back to me"
You name your child after your fear, and tell them "I have brought you here"
The scary part, the aftershock, the moment it takes to fall apart
The time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to destroy a man
The ecstasy, the being free, the big black cloud over you and me
And after that, the upwards fall, and were we angels after all?
I don't know, I don't know...
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
You drop a coin into the sea, and shout out "Please come back to me"
You name your child after your fear, and tell them "I have brought you here"
oh the blood and the treasure and the losing it all
the time that we wasted and the place where we fall
will we wake in the morning and know what it was for,
up in our bedroom after the war?
We are here to save your life
The fool, the drunk, the child, and his wife
We won't let the sun go down
We gonna chase the demons out of town
Singing when you feel alone
Backwards through the megaphone
Singing to the ones you love
And the ones you'd like to be rid of.
We are here to take the blame
To take the taunts and if the shame
We are here to make you feel
It terrifies you, but its real
It will keep you up all night
And in the flood of morning light
Spilling out across your room
You say the words will get there soon
The revolution wasn't bad
We hit the streets with all we had
A tape recording with the sound
Of the Velvet Underground
A K-Way jacket torn to shreds
And a dream inside our heads
And after changing everything
They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
After changing everything
They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
We dont want to sleep tonight
Still young like that i count the lines
Beside your mouth that smiles now
My arms reach up as you go down
With buried heads we both forget
All of the past and its regret
Wind picks up, the window shakes
We wont hear the morning break
You will cry
And i will cry
Cuz all the love's
Alive tonight
Neighbourhoods will try to dream
While you and me we hold and lean
Onto bodies slick and charged
Together just one beating heart
All around us quiet now
We hear the leaves fall to the ground
Morning light upon our bed
An ally while i catch your breath
You will cry
And i will cry
Cuz all the love's
Alive tonight
What gives you the right?
To fuck with our lives?
A devil born in paradise
A liar loves to lie
Keep watching your back
Killers always have killers on their track
Keep watching the sky
'cause you might get lucky again
I hope your drunken daughters are gay!
You are the shadow of fear!
Yoou scare the love out of here
Like an ape in a cage
Small white man in a rage
Mellow suit, mellow smile
Limousines down murder mile...
Watch the devil's at play!
Drain the bottle empty
California today
So tomorrow there will be another number
For the one who had a name
A desert wind and a perverse desire to win
History buried in shame
Are those beating drums
Celebration guns
The thunder and the laughter
The last thing they remember
And then the next day
How will you know your enemy
By their colour or your fear
One by one you can cage them
In your freedom
Make them all disappear
God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across pont champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't chose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to say
All I've known
I that there is an end
Then you can begin again
Day, everyday
I had a dream
That the sea was helpless
The crowd was loud
I went to leave
Can I come to your house?
Caught in the ropes and the wires
The sun settles hard in the south
Winter lives in my bones
When you awake you're alone
You say "Is this a war?"
Hardly, and then you hit a wall
Honestly, you wan't to know but you can't
I believe, I want to believe, in anything
Can I come to your house?
I'm caught in the ropes and the wires
The sun settles hard in the south
Winter lives in my bones
Knock shop in Oxford Street
One where the vampires meet
Silk purse, pink tie and all of that
Platforms, white teeth, a stupid hat
They really like to see you there
You make them think you really care
I've watched you take your make up off
Your face grows hard
Your eyes grow soft
The window blinds are drawn
You flash your trash to turn me on
I sigh and frown and start to cough
Your hunger starts to turn me off
Lie down and try to talk to me
Sleep now and dream of who you'll be
When you finally become someone.
You tune into my frequency
That don't mean a thing to me
Cause I don't want your body
I don't want your body
Your soul is searching ecstasy
So you could have some sex with me
I don't want your body
I don't want your body
Face down up on the bar
I always said you'd get far
But you're not the kid you used to be
Someone should call your family
White line that time I called before
Flash bulbs which pop to keep you warm
I've watched you slowly fall away
The colour fade, from blue to grey
The window blind undrawn
You flash your trash to turn me on
Your just a tramp, you're just a trick
Our hunger starts to make us sick
Lie down and try to talk to me
Sleep now and dream of who you'll be
But will you actually be anyone?
You tune into my frequency
that don't mean a thing to me
cause I don't want your body
I don't want your body
Your soul is searching ecstasy
so you could have some sex with me
I don't want your body
I don't want your body
You tune into my frequency
That don't mean a thing to me
Cause I don't want your body
I don't want your body
Your soul is searching ecstasy
So you could have some sex with me
I don't want your body
I don't want your body
Sweetness, sweetness never suits me, when I get up to take you home
Maybe it's love, love at first slightly drunk
Now I'm walking with the sun in my mouth
Worry, worry is a well, going to let it fall tonight, from where we stand
What can't be decided
In the morning it will bring itself to you
I can see what's coming, but I'm not saying it
Sickness, weakness at the thought, of how you're going to play
How long should I stay?
Promises, promises never cease to assist it, now I'm back on my back
Please bite your words
Hurry, hurry to believe, I can always trust, as much as you deceive
What can't be decided
In the morning it will bring itself to you
I can see what's coming, but I'm not saying it
What's your middle name? How do you play the game?
I'll be the first to leave
When did I grow up? I don't want to say too much
I'll be the first to leave
What can't be decided
In the morning it will bring itself to you
What can't be decided
Can fool you into thinking maybe you can choose
I can see what's coming
Sorry for wasting your time
Five long months on a telephone line
I was asking if you were fine
And saying I was fine too.
Sorry but I've got to go
The birth was quick but the death was slow
There was so much I didn't know
So much I didn't know about you.
And so we disconnect, the room goes quiet around us
It's called the life effect, will it always surround us.
Who made you happy last night
I don't know his name but christ can he fight
As I fell he told me you had a light
A light that shone inside you
I found myself a decent man now
I love him because I care
The bravest that I've ever been, is when I ran away from you.
And so we disconnect, the room goes quiet around us
It's called the life effect, will it always surround us.
And so we disconnect, the room goes quiet around us
Nothing left to protect, the end has finally found us.
The day's almost over, it's almost time for bed
How much more am I supposed to take
How much more am I supposed to break
You asked for time, and time takes you away
I'm alone and you're a man
I need you closer to me
My hands are tied
because I won't say goodbye
I tried
I told you I was brave but I lied
Is this the story or
is this the end
I always kill your shadow but,
here we are again
in the wild, in the way you love me
with your smile, will you ever save
save me
because we can't freeze ourselves
in this hell
you came with me so hopeless I fell
How much more am I supposed to take
I can find forever in other ways
but how much more
how much more
I need you closer to me
Sunrise
Oh sunrise
When will you ever come?
Sunrise
Oh sunrise
When will the night be gone?
When you can't get up to the cold morning light
But you don't get to sleep in
And everybody only wants to fight
You're up against never being right
When the worries of the world hold your feet
And there's little left to believe in
Today is going to be a better one
There's nothing more to take in
That's going wrong
Old pale memories of someone you knew
Keep crawling through the back of your mind
In the daylight you're crossing all your wires
You never knew just how to put out a fire
The closet's been shaking with bones
Little reminders that you're out on your own
Today is going to be a better one
There's nothing more to take in
That's going wrong
Today keep your head and drop the gun
There's nothing more to battle when you're gone
That day we walked a little deeper
Breathless and too alive to sleep
You always said i was a dreamer
But now i know whos dreaming deep
You took me to the woods to show me something
But ill turn my face away
You touched me in the sahed but then it got darker
Lets save it for another day
That day we walked a little deeper
Breathless, lost and too alive to stop
Grey skies and light fading, headlamps making patterns on the wall
Uptown it's dead now but, out here no one seems to care at all
Slick girls and sick boys and each one lining up to take it home
They hold tight their coin and pray no one has to see the fall
I'm there, yeah I serve them, the one with the empty looking eyes
Come closer, you'll see me: the face that is used to telling lies
Saturday nights in neon lights, Sunday in the cell
Pills enough to make me feel ill, cash enough to make me well
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me...
You sprung me, I'm grateful
I love when you tell me not to speak
I owe you but I know you, you'll have me back but it's gonna take a week
What now kid?, which way love?
Will we ever make up and be friends?
Good news is my shoes is lined with all my nickels and my tens
Let's do them! Just feed me... I hate when I have to go to sleep
You despise me and I love you
It's not much but it's just enough to keep...
Saturday nights in neon lights, Sunday in the cell
Pills enough to make me feel ill, cash enough to make me well
Take me, take me to the riot
Your friends hold the lullabies
They watch the way the night lies
Soft sounds, heads like a radio
Hearts wrapped in blankets, laying low
Hearts wrapped in blankets, laying low
You're cold, maybe you just missed the sun
You fall, feeling like its just begun
So far, keeping it together's been enough
Look up, rain is falling, looks like love
Your boy is like a memory
Some sense of touch and a melody
Your girl, she's a renegade
A hurricane that keeps you there, safe
A hurricane that keeps you there, safe
You're cold, maybe you just missed the sun
You fall, feeling like its just begun
So far, keeping it together's been enough
Look up, rain is falling, looks like love
(And still in toil, it takes heart to love the rose
And still in toil, it takes heart to love the rose)
You're cold, maybe you just missed the sun
You fall, feeling like its just begun
So far, keeping it together's been enough
Look up, rain is falling, looks like love
You're cold, maybe you just missed the sun
You fall, feeling like its just begun
So far, keeping it together's been enough
Look up, rain is falling, looks like love
Rain is falling looks like love
Rain is falling looks like love
Rain is falling looks like love
Late at night interior, we find ourselves inside the car
Our hero has just gone too far, his lover bleeding in the back
He removes the Lucky from the pack, he knows now that he can't turn back
The cherry lights in the rearview
He realizes that he's through
Whispers, "Darling let's have fun"
Hits the exit doing 91, drives until he's in the woods
If he loses them he's gone for good
Life was supposed to be a film, was supposed to be a thriller, was supposed to end in tears
But life, could be nothing but a joke, could be nothing but a con
Where's my unhappy ending gone?
Life was supposed to be a film, was supposed to be a thriller, was supposed to end in blood
But life could be nothing but a joke, a sentimental con
Where's my unhappy ending gone? Where's my unhappy ending gone?
Here is the part where you save me, here is the scene where you save the day
Why can't the ending be happy?
Why must it always resolve this way?
A cabin in the woods somewhere
Our hero strokes his lover's hair
Says "Don't worry love we're almost done"
Says "I could have really been someone"
Outside, they surround the house with pistols drawn
It's a waiting game until dawn
Sergeant says "He can't go on, we know now that he can't go on..."
Life was supposed to be a film, was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in fire
But life turns out it's nothing but a dream
And that I'll miss it when it's gone
Trapped on the terraces, I looked at you and knew
You were the only thing that mattered
There was no one for me but you
In Harmony Street we beat a man
Just for standing there
I held my breath as I watched you swing
Then run your fingers through your hair
Oh, how could anyone not love the terrible things you do?
Oh, how could anyone not want to try and help you?
In Bermondsey in Burberry, you held me at the barricade, the pigs arrived with tear gas
And I wept at the mistakes we made
We stalked the streets like animals
And danced as windows shattered
For our island, for the thrill of it, for everything that mattered
Oh, how could anyone not want to rip it all apart?
Oh, how could anyone not love your cold, black heart?
I found you on a Saturday, and that was where I lost you
You had finally walk away because of what it cost you, years later when I saw your face
In line to catch the morning train, you looked like you'd been softened
Like you never really loved the pain
Oh, how could anyone not finally diminish?
The thrill of blood comes instantly
There's only darkness at the finish
Meet me at the barricade, I'll be at the barricade
Meet me at the barricade, the love died, but the hate can't fade
7:49
Night train right on time
Climb the sea of stairs
absinth brandy wine
spirits moving in the steam
Come partner forest green
the rattle of the rails
you fall into a dream
high clouds in the sky
the room goes racing by
another sleepless night
so you speed into daylight
[chorus]
Here comes another strange town
Here comes another breakdown
And you can run forever
They'll catch you now or never
In the tainted car
and then later in the bar
you see yourself reflected
I wonder who you are
The passengers asleep
dream of secrets that they keep
in the cabin next to you
a woman starts to wake
The things you knew all fall away
The things you had all disappear
As if you were never here
Here comes another strange town
Here comes another breakdown
And you can run forever
They'll catch you now or never
And when you arrive
your not sure if you're alive
all the passengers are gone
everybody step one
station quiet, station still
nothing moves, nothing will
put your hand up to your face
there are things you can't believe
This is the last song that was ever written
After this, nothing will rhyme
This is the last time that you'll ever see us
After this, you're gonna go blind
This is the last time that there'll be a last time
You'll wake up to the day without it
This is the last time that you're gonna lose someone
After this, it's you and your friends
It's you and your friends
This is the last song that was ever written
Melody is over and done
All of the words we sing erase each other
You only need songs when you're young.
There was a strange goodbye outside the station.
There was a letter three weeks later in the mail
We didn't know we knew you 'til we lost you
You tried to leave us all alone, we wish you had failed
We're gonna sing a song without words
And a tune you haven't heard in a long time
Not since the year you were two
And she sang to you in the wintertime
He hoped to be remembered as the one who told his men to turn back
And go where he'd begun
Roses are the flower he would prefer
Scatter all his ashes on the pier
Genova Heights, Genova Heights
Are hard to leave, are hard to leave
The bedroom lights of Genova Heights are hard to leave
You did wrong that you thought was good, and now you're back in the neighbourhood
I see you when I never should, now you're back in the neighbourhood
You did wrong that you thought was good, and now you're back in the neighbourhood
I see you when I never should, now you're back in the neighbourhood
He taps upon the glass when I'm asleep, so now I keep my window closed at night
S.O.S. in morse code when the wind blows, he is waiting for his moment to be right
Genova Heights, Genova Heights
Are hard to leave, are hard to leave
The endless nights of Genova Heights are hard to leave, so hard to leave...
You did wrong that you thought was good, and now you're back in the neighbourhood
I see you when I never should, now you're back in the neighbourhood
You did wrong that you thought was good, and now you're back in the neighbourhood
The first time, in your backyard
Underneath the plastic sheeting
Outside, it was pouring
And we were drunk as shit
Next time, at a party
When all our friends were there
There's nothing like their mattresses
Underneath the stair
The third time, in the doorway
Lights all on around us
And the audience beside us
And the old man watching from a tree
Fourth time, I said that's it
You've agreed to give me everything
Now I've got to ask you one thing
Keep doing that forever
Fifth time in your bedroom
And finally, we rested
And you leaned upon your elbow
And began to speak to me
But you stopped yourself and kissed me
And I grabbed your lips and told you
I know, I know, I know
I feel the same as you
And everyday, it's changed since then
In every way, I've changed since then
And everyday, it's changed since then
In every way, I've changed since then
Driven outside
I've driven you
Driven outside
How could you do it
I couldnt say
Years built on sand
June until may
Second to second
Lied even while you held my hand
Its death for the living
Yes i am a ghost
The mirror is cloudy
I loved you the most
You threw out the pieces
Did things we didnt understand
He doesnt want her but he just wont let her go
She started breaking but she still wont let it show
The clothes in the wardrobe
Just send them to me
Theres bills her for you
Thats cause nothing is free
We build up with things
To make us who we want to be
Is she in the background
I just wouldnt know
Did i build you a prison
Please dont let me go
Ive unlocked the doors
But you cant walk away from me
He doesnt want her but he just wont let her go
She started breaking but she still wont let it show
Your quiet eyes, your mouth that never tells lies
You've got one hour, its time you told your story
Eighteen alone, in love with the answer phone
And too afraid, you're too afraid to fall for anything
And too afraid, much too afraid to sing
I won't pretend, that I can see the end, but
Its far away, its in the distance
We'll find a place, there isn't room for two of us
The minutes drag, then there's a world between us
And I'm too afraid, much too afraid to fall for anything
And I'm too afraid, much too afraid to sing, to sing
We all come to an end
And we all end together
We all come to an end
And we all end together
We all come to an end, yea,
And we all end together
We all come to an end
In a village in the hills
House buried to the window sills in snow
In a prison yard at night
An Alsatian barking for the stars to go
In the attic of a house
In the slats of light which creep across the room
In a forest grove at dawn
Where the animals sleep hidden in the gloom
On the 97th floor overlooking Tokyo
In Camden road in a second floor flat with
Dilworth down below
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
In a cancer ward where the patients sit
Waiting patiently to die
In an aeroplane high above the place
You finally left behind
In a cage where only one thing could be free
And it's not you and I
In a cage where only one thing could be free
And it's not you and I
In every single place that has ever, ever been
Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
One thing
In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen
In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen
In the diary of a priest, in the sheets that lie upon his bed
Out there amongst the waves and inside your lover's head
There is only one thing
There is only one... thing
20 years asleep before we sleep... forever
It's been five years we've had good and bad
The ivy grows thick in our dark backyard
When I shave in the morning you don't recognize me
I ask if you're still there and you answer truly
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
You think you're so bad but you're just badly raised
You twisted and turned all the love that we made
I cannot hold on and I cannot let go
I was wasted at fifteen never learned to go slow
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
so don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
You pick the curtains and I'll pick the sheets
The silver anniversary will be the next time we meet
I loved you before and I'll love you 'til then
You're my foe and my brother and lover and friend
Don't stay for the good stuff there ain't none left
I'll love you and leave you, drive from this town
if i give you a ring thers one thing you should know
You have seven seconds before it's too late to go
So, don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
I never ever wanna see you until our wedding day
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
I never ever wanna see you until our wedding day
Don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
In the year of my decline
Sucking freezies in the rain
Driving twisted in the suburbs
And then driving back again
Seventeen and half alive
Headlights illuminate the school
Inhale the powder from the science class, yeah nearly dying felt so cool
Your face is all that hasnt changed
Youre reassembled just like me
But when i reach to touch your hand
You stroke mine gently
All i want is one more chance to be young and wild and free
All i want is one more chance to show you,
You were right for me
You were right for me
Im back in gym and its the same
As my name tag floats away
I had 6 too many drinks last night yes
And thats why i made you stay
Plus i always wanted you
You liked to rock it in your car
You said you didnt understand me
Because i always tried to see too far
Well Tainted Love's too fast to dance to
So lets leave them all behind
They hated us with everything they had
And we hated them in kind
All i want is one more chance
To be young and wild and free
All i want is one more chance to show you,
You were right for me
Single f, under 33, must enjoy the sun, must enjoy the sea
Mrs.Destiny, send photo to address, is it you and me?
My name is Caroline cell phone number here, call if you have the time
28 and bored, grieving over loss, sorry to be heavy but heavy is the cost, heavy is the cost
Thanks so much for response, these things can be scary
Not always what you want
How about a drink? The St.Jude club at noon?
I'll phone you first I guess
I hope I see you soon!
I never got your name, I assume you're 33
Your voice it sounded kind
I hope that you like me
When you see my face, I hope that you don't laugh
I'm not a film-star beauty
I sent a photograph
I hope that you don't laugh...
Why did you not show up?
I waited for an hour and finally gave up
I thought once that I sw you, I thought that you saw me
I guess we'll never meet now
It wasn't meant to be
I was sure that you saw me, but it wasn't meant to be
single f, under 33, must enjoy the sun, must enjoy the sea
Sought by single m:
nothing too heavy, send photo to address
is it you?
Try as he might he's unable to speak
He grabs her by the hair, he strokes her on the cheek
The bed is unmade like everything is
Dark little heaven at the top of the stairs
Take me like that, ruin it all
Then build it again by the light in the hall
He drops to his knees says please my love, please
I'll kill who you hate, take off that dress, you won't freeze
One more night, that was a good one
One more night, i dreamed it was a good one
One more, one more night, that was a good one
One more night, the end should be a good one
A good one
He starts with her back cause that's what he sees
When she's breaking his heart she still fucks like a tease
Release to the sky, look him straight in the eye
And tell him that now, that you wish he would die
You'll never touch him again so get what you can
Leaving him empty just because he's a man
So good when it ends, they'll never be friends
One more night, that's all they can spend
One more night, that was a good one
One more night, i dreamed it was a good one
One more, one more night, that was a good one
One more night, the end should be a good one
I'm so hard for a rich girl
My heels are high, my eyes cast low
And I don't know how to love
I get so tired after midday, lately
I take it out on my good friends
But the worst stays in, or where would I begin?
My office glows all night long
Its a nuclear show, and the stars are gone
Elevator, Elevator, take me home
I'm so hot for the rich girl
Her heels so high, and my hopes so low
'Cause I don't know how to love
I'll take her home after midnight
And if she likes, I'll tell her lies
How we'll be in love by the morning
I don't think she knows
That I'm saying good bye
My office glows all night long
Its a nuclear show, and the stars are gone
Elevator, Elevator, take me home
My office glows all night long
Its a nuclear show, and the stars are gone
Elevator, Elevator, take me home
Don't go, say you'll stay
Spend a lazy Sunday
In my arms, I won't take
Anything away
Don't go, say you'll stay
Spend a lazy Sunday
In my arms, don't take
I was always late, you never afraid, that we could be falling
All our friends would say, maybe we should wait, but they can't see what's coming
And to this day, when everything breaks, you are the anchor that holds me
And that is why we'll always make it
How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive
When the days are long, and the thunder with the storm, can always get me crying
You can make my bed, I'll fall into it, shattered but not lonely
Because I never knew a home, until I found your hands, when I'm weathered
You come to me, you're my best friend
And that is why we'll always make it
How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive
And when we're making love
I'd give up everything for your touch
How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive
When you go to work all the day I wait
Wake up! Say good morning to that sleepy person lying next to you
If there's no one there, then there's no one there, but at least the war is over
It's us - yes, we're back again, here to see you through, 'til the days end
And if the night comes, and the night will come, well at least the war is over
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
The war is over and we are beginning...
Gridlock on the parkway now, the television man is here to show you how
The channle fades to snow, it's off to work you go, but at least the war is over
She's gone, she left before you woke, as you ate last night, neither of you spoke
Dishes, tv, bed the darkness filled with dread, but at least the war is over
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
The war is over and we are beginning...
We won, or we think we did, when you went away, you were just a kid
And if you lost it all, and you lost it, we will still be there when the war is over
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
The war is over and we are beginning...
Here it comes! Here comes the first day! Here it comes! Here comes the first day!
It starts up in our bedroom after the war
Thousands of ghosts in the daylight
Walking though my hometown square
Thousands of faces you touched once
Thousands you lost in the fright
Knock, knock on the door of the house that he knew
The air grows cold around me and you, it's cold
You know that he's there
Thousands of ghosts in the darkness
Lost in a strange neighborhood
The lights from the warm houses haunt them
They forgot what they lost
But they know it was good
I was only a girl when I wore those clothes
I was unfaithful, I lived as I chose
I want only to haunt you
But you're never there
I died so I could have you
I died so I could haunt you
[x3]
I died so I could have you
I died so I could hold you
I died so I could haunt you
[repeats]
Thousands of ghosts in the daylight
One day we all disappear
We'll walk till we get to the harbor
Time can take it's toll on the best of us
Look at you you're growing old so young
Traffic lights blink at you in the evening
Tilt your head and turn it to the sun
Sometimes the T.V. is like a lover
Singing softly as you fall asleep
You wake up in the morning and it's still there
Adding up the things you'll never be
Alright, I can say what you want me to,
Alright, I can do all the things you do,
Alright, I'll make it all up for you,
I'm still in love with you,
I'm still in love with you
Time can take it's toll on the best of us
Look at you you're growing old so young
Traffic lights blink at you in the evening
You tilt your head and turn it to the sun
You disembark the latest flight from paradise
You almost turn your ankle on the snow
You fall back into where you started
Make up words to songs you used to know
So...
Alright, I can say what you want me to,
Alright, I can do all the things you do,
Alright, I'll make it all up for you,
I'm still in love with you,
I'm still in love with you,
The hard luck god
You never had a chance you know
Incurable romantics never do
He held the flame I wasn't born to carry
I'll leave the dieing young stuff up to you
You get back on the latest flight to paradise
I found out, from a note taped to the door
I think I saw your airplane in the sky tonight
Through my window, lying on the kitchen floor.
Alright, I can say what you want me to,
(I want more)
Alright, I can do all the things you do,
(Give me more)
Alright, I'll make it all up for you,
I'm still in love with you,
I'm still in love with you,
(I want more)
Alright, I'll say you want me to,
(Give Me More)
Alright, I'll do all the things you do,
(I Want More From You)
Alright, I'll make it all up for you,
I'm still in love with you,
What you want you are
You always were
What you want you are
You always were
When the plans fall changing hands
What are the chances of winning?
You, you hold my heart
You, you won't let up
After when I'm called
Touch turns into fisticuffs
It's all in your head
Wonder if I'm fixed to cut
guitar solo
For its statistics in the collected whole
We are the hunger that keeps you climbing walls
It's the one thing you can count on
We all end floating away (x2)
You, you hold my heart
You, you won't let up
After when I'm called
Touch turns into fisticuffs
It's all in your head
Wonder if I'm fixed to cut
Is it your fault? (repeat)
You, you're sinking, so they say
You, you're finished, so they say
You, you're boring, so they say
Tell me everything that happened,
Tell me everything you saw.
They had lights inside their eyes...
They had lights inside their eyes...
Did you see the closing window,
Did you hear the slamming door?
They moved forward and my heart died...
They moved forward and my heart died...
Please, please tell me what they looked like,
Did they seem afraid of you?
They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
It's hard to know they're out there,
It's hard to know that you still care.
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Did you touch them, did you hold them?
Did they follow you to town?
They make me feel I'm falling down...
They make me feel I'm falling down...
Was there one you saw too clearly,
Did they seem too real to you?
They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
It's hard to know they're out there,
It's hard to know that you still care.
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Dead hearts are everywhere!
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
It's hard to know they're out there,
It's hard to know that you still care.
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Dead hearts are everywhere!
They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...
Now they're all dead hearts to you...
Now they're all dead hearts to you...
They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...
This time in between the day and the night
the light kills my sense of life
so scared, turn it off, turn it off
It's dull, this dusk, this desk, this dust
My eyes adjust
I'll blow out the flame
Can you and me remain?
Changes, never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
caught between the gold and the game
Changes, never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
caught between the cold and the waves
My heart beats up, again
Once said, words make a world of their own
I misread
I can't get you back on the phone
I'm so tired, so turn it off, turn it off
How's that, last week we were home
you're far away
and I hardly know
Can you and me delay?
Changes, never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
caught between the gold and the game
Changes, never been good with change
troubled when it all stays the same
caught between this cold and the waves
My heart beats up, again
Are you my trouble
If I am lost for a day; try and find me
But if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me
All of the things that I thought were so easy
Just got harder and harder each day
December is the darkest and June is the light but this empty bedroom won't make anything right
While out on the landing a friend I forgot to send home
Who waits up for me all through the night
Calendar girl whos in love with the world Stay alive
Calendar Girl whos in love with the world Stay alive
I dreamed I was dying; as I so often do
And when I awoke I was sure it was true
I ran to the window; threw my head to the sky
And said whoever is up there,please don't let me die
But I can't live forever,I can't always breath
One day I'll be sand on a beach by a sea
The pages keep turning, I'll mark off each day with a cross
And I'll laugh about all that we've lost
Calendar Girl who is lost to the world
Stay Alive
Calendar Girl who is lost to the world Stay Alive
January,February,March,April,May I'm alive
June,July,August,September,October I'm alive
November,December,yah all through the winter, I'm alive
You can write my place out
Of the life you make
And all then things that mattered
When you knew my face
Cross off all the ways I failed you
Because I failed you
But I'm still in your blood
I'm still in your blood
The time when all our mistakes made sense
You needed it
The time when all the lying
You sympathized with sin
All this sabotage and blame
Well I can take it
Because I want you back
Temporary battles
Can take up half your life
How you dig your bed
Will it help you sleep at night
Forgiveness like a blanket
That you want to forget
But you still crumble at my name
You still crumble at my name
The time when all our mistakes made sense
You needed it
The time when all the lying
You sympathized with sin
All this sabotage and blame
Well I can take it
You clean AM you take me down and what you want is what
I love the colors of the world that lead me home tonight
One, two, too many times you tend to trick me up
Now that I know it's all you want,
It's still never enough
Calling on the backlines
Crawling from the battle to the other side
If courage is a lot lighter
I see it in your eyes
Too many plays and they know how to keep a choke on you
But you've got Wower pressure when I have too much to lose
The stakes are high, my mind is twisted, and the pressure's off
At 4 o'clock we went ahead more dizzy than a flood
Calling on the backlines
Crawling for the battle to the other side
The courage a lot lighter
I see it in your eyes
Running from the battle to the other side
If freedom isn't hard-wired
I see it in your eyes
Calling on the backlines
Crawling from the battle to the other side
If living isn't hard wired,
I see it in your eyes
Crawling from the backlines
Hiding from the shadows that we left behind
Courage is a lot wider
I see it in your eyes
See it in your eyes
Ageless beauty
Cruelty makes its holes
But on the shoreline
Time will hold its promise
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
Tattered fingers
Lingering on the warm and foolish
Hardened faces
Graceless, we'll lose the battle
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
Oceans won't freeze
So loosen your heart
Underestimated
Undefeated in this love
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
Stuck on the wall, the note that you left
I wait and stall for the moment
Your reckless heart, you know you got it
Into the past, I try to sort it
Out of the fog, a colder morning
I wanted to call for nothing
Your careless heart, you know you got it
I crawlt o bed, and try to forget
When we go down, your loss of courage
When we go down, you're so ferocious
Blanket of cloud, the sky hovering
The winter is long and forgiving
You melt your doubt, and fall into me
I find your mouth and try to hold it
You blame your love, you know is harmless
We're both wise for falling
The summer arrives, the gardens alive!!
With the mud and mortar we're going to dave it
When you want to go
You can't get out through the back door
When you're going to leave
"I am Evan and this is my heart, I am Amy and this is my heart, I am Chris this is my heart, I am Touque
This is my heart."
How the heart bends, and summer she sends a sky that refuses to die
With weeds of the sea that wrap round our knees and a sun too hot to go down
You come around, you come around, you come around, you come around, you come around, you come around,
You come around
How the heart bends, and summer she sends a sky that refuses to die
With weeds of the sea that wrap round our knees, and a sun too hot to go down
You come around, you come around, you come around, you come around, you come around, you come around,
You come around
You come around, you come around, you come around, you come around, you come around, you come around,
You look so good in the clothes of a poser
And when you smiled all the kids fell apart here
I know a place where it's warm and it's dry, dear
Let me take you there
North of the river all the streets are the same
We can pretend that they don't know our name
And the heat is turned all the way to full
So don't pretend that you don't feel the pull
I am trying to say
What I want to say
Without having to say
"I love you"
You look so good in the shoes of an outcast
I kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last
But then I knew you, I knew you, I knew you
I really knew you
We fell apart in the parties of the empty heart
We danced the junkies in the shadows of bad modern art
We clicked our heels and we wished we were home
One more tab and your silk hits the chrome
I am trying to say
What I want to say
Without having to say
"I love you"
I am trying to say
What I want to say
Without having to say
"I love you"
Springs comes in when I'm rolling up another one
I draw the curtains in the glare of the same old sun
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
Three blues, two greens and a beer...
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
Three blues, two greens and a beer...
I am trying to say
What I want to say
Without having to say
"I love you"
I am trying to say
What I want to say
Without having to say
Heat is a heavy head, (?)
Keeps me in my bed.
Push aside the pillow,
The whole room just turned yellow.
Three in the afternoon,
We still haven't moved.
Siren sighs echo,
A pulse through our window.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
Pulling the body to twist,
The thighs, the heels, the hips.
Constellation markings,
Across your body drawings.
Telephone rings,
But we'll just let it sing.
Hide out till tomorrow,
I crawl into your shadow.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, shaded daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
This wasted, tainted daylight!
I don't mind... I don't mind...
One step closer to the sea wall,
Looking down you can see all,
Hold my hand, so you dont fall,
catch your breath as the gull's call,
One heart out of two,
One life, me and you,
One heart out of two,
One life, me and you,
One heart out of two,
One life, me and you,
One heart out of two,
One life, me and you,
Last mile, in the pale light,
Take me home with you tonight,
We'll touch till' it feels right,
You wont say love but I might,
One heart out of two,
One life, me and you,
One heart out of two,
One life, me and you,
One heart out of two,
One life, me and you,
One heart out of two,
One life, me and you,
Made love, and you muttered "we're through,"
One heart, but mine was in two,
One half filled with the dreams of a saint,
The other filled with nothing but hate,
I hope i die, in the arms of a child,
In a meadow where the thisles grow wild,
One heart out of two,
One life, me and you,
One heart out of two,
One life, me and you,
One heart out of two,
One life, me and you,
One heart out of two,
