Well, I don't think that I know you
I've never seen you here
Before, although I could be wrong
And though this music doesn't move me
Thrill or even soothe me
I think I might dance to just this one song
Is that your brother dancin' with you?
He's giving me some funny looks
I thought you says, "You were on your own"
Look, I know I'm no oil painting
But my face doesn't need rearranging
And I'm quite attached to all my bones
This isn't the way things were meant to be
Now he's waiting outside with his mates for me

It's half past eight
And I'm waiting in a beautiful place
Anticipating everything we'll do
And all we'll say, "Till your father sees you again"
Now I don't know just what you're doing
Is it me or him that you're screwing?
But I don't care and you don't care
When you're here
Now the storm is here, I see you running
Your face full of tears so red and burning
And I can't work out how you spend
Another day with him
Just say the word, you know I'll do it
I'm waiting for you just let me do it
And we can run to another place

Once I flew
And it made my fingertips sing
I was more like a God than a King
Now I can't believe that was true
Once I flew
Though you don't believe me I know
You look where I'm standing now
You can't believe I left the ground
Look up to the bright blue sky
Can't you feel life passing by?
If you could, wouldn't you
Try to soar over everything?
All the pain this world can bring
Once I flew now I've lost my wings
Now I'm down here with you
Now I'm down here with you
Once I flew
And the angels were my friends
They would grant my every whim
Now I can't believe that was true
Once I flew
Though it's easy to forget
I don't seemed to have managed yet
And I don't think I ever will
Look up to the bright blue sky
Can't you feel life passing by?
If you could, wouldn't you
Try to soar over everything?
All the pain this world can bring
Once I flew now I've lost my wings
Now I'm down here with you
Now I'm down here with you
And in my dreams I am happy again
You're in my arms and we're flying

Take a look at where you're going
Do you know where you come from?
Seems you've spent your life just searching
In the length of just one song
But you know you're going nowhere
Like so many of your age
This has gone on far too long now
To be dismissed as another phase
Well you can turn the clock back
Pretend that you're still young
Unaware
But everything that you lack
Weighs upon your mind
When she's not there
I don't want to break your heart
I don't want to let you down
It's just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow
Now your friends are disappearing
They're getting scarcer day by day
You've only got yourself to blame for that
You always wanted things that way
'Cause it's easier being lonely
Than being let down again and again
When you're standing on the edge of things
It means you never have to pretend
Well you can turn the clock back
And hope that you're still young
Unaware
But everything that you lack
Weighs upon your mind
When she's not there
I don't want to break your heart
I don't want to let you down
It's just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow
Well you can turn the clock back
Pretend that you're still young
Unaware
But everything that you lack
Weighs upon your mind
When she's not there
I don't want to break your heart
I don't want to let you down
It's just that I always thought
Life would be more than just

Here my child, rest your head on me
Cause I'm the safest man you'll ever meet
I'll tell you a story I won't expect you to believe
About a boy who lost his reason to deceive
It's the death of my desire
It's the death of my desire
It's the death of my desire
It's the death of my desire
While I grew up, I hid behind a smile
I was never allowed to be an average child
And now the years have forced me to be a man
I find I can't go along with this meaningless sham
It's the death of my desire
It's the death of my desire
It's the death of my desire
I want to find a new way
But I can't make it on my own
I want a partner in crime
So I don't feel so alone
So come to bed I won't disturb your sleep
Cause I've a secret I'm determined not to keep
I see you understand my point of view
You're safe because there's nothing I need from you
Ohh ohh ohh oh
Ohh ohh ohh oh
It's the death of my desire
It's the death of my desire
It's the death of my desire

Oh, you didn't notice
I existed that night
I jumped and I waved
Even shouted your name that night
Oh, but it's all the same
You'll never see me again
All I wanted you see my face
Oh, but it's all the same
You'll never see me again
All I wanted, ooh ooh ooh
Oh, you're so pretty
You turn me up inside
And I only say this
Because I know I'm not
Oh, but it's all the same
You'll never see me again
All I wanted you see my face
Oh, but it's all the same
You'll never see me again
All I wanted, ooh ooh ooh
And now I'm standing
And you've left me with what?
And now you thank me
For what you've got
Oh, but it's all the same
You'll never see me again
All I wanted you see my face
Oh, but it's all the same
You'll never see me again

Let me help you get undressed
I'm no better than the rest
And I know you can see through
All I've said today
But for an hour maybe two
It will just be me and you
We can find a place where no one
Ever wants to go
I can make it if you stay
I can't take it if you go
I've had too many one night stands
I've had too many broken plans
Now when I need someone I find
Myself alone
And I know it's the same for you
You've told me all that you've been through
We can put the past behind
All we'll share today
I can make it if you stay
I can't take it if you go
Let me help you get undressed
I'm no better than the rest
And I know you can see through
All I've said today
But for an hour maybe two
Let's pretend I'm the man for you
It will almost seem like nothing
Ever, ever changed
I can make it if you stay
I can't take it if you go
I can make it if you stay

I finished the story of my life
About three a m last night
It's the best thing I've ever read
And though the start seemed to drag
You know the middle really wasn't bad
And the end turned out okay
If I had to edit anything
I might reign those chapters in
I spent miserable and afraid
But you know I love the book as a whole
I wouldn't mess around with it's soul

I was only searching for you
We didn't have much time
Then I saw you blind to everything
But the beautiful grime
You showed me landmarks famous statues
And all the time I could see
With every café and tiny bookshop
You were further from me
It's all my fault
I should have known
I should hove seen
She'd fall in love
But with the city
Not with me
I'm in the station
The train is waiting
Will you leave with me
There's a commotion
A woman running
But you're nowhere to be seen
So don't take your
Love to paris
Unless you're sure of her heart
It's all a question
Of understanding
The city may rip you apart
It's all my fault
I should have known
I should have seen
She'd fall in love
But with the city

Stay with me till the clouds are gone
Understand you're the only one
I feel your closeness like a missing key
You've got me all over you
You're all over me
I'm alone
In the lay by we wait for cars to pass
In the sunshine we always wait for dark
In the classroom you avoid my eyes
When you kiss me I can't hear you lie
I'm alone
Her face is fading it will soon be gone
But there's part of me that will never move on
Her words are falling through the sky like snow

Can you hear the seconds passing by
Every moment one less to try
Daily weekly see them change
In your mirror

Everything you try to do
Always seems to turn to shit
Every plan and stupid scheme
Can't you just give up and quit
Take it away
Just take it away
So don't phone me when you are down
And don't send me your joke emails
I'm not your friendly safety net
In fact I'm happy when you always fail
Take it away
Just take it away
I'm standing here
I can hear your voice
I don't want to any more
But it looks like you have given me

You see it all started out
With the very best of my sincere intentions
So I thought anyway
But that day that we got lost
I could tell she had
Penetrated my defences
But I carried on anyway
And then the moment that we came I could tell we would
Never be the same again
More so anyway
Now feel the burden of my shame
As I try to make some sense out of this brittle life
Oh anyway
I thought I was strong enough to be everything
You could ever want or need or need of me
Anyway
So then they questioned all my friends
And tooth by tooth they extracted their confessions
So called anyway
Then they read all the books I'd read
And tried to link the authors to my known profession
They failed anyway
But then they put her on the rack
And they broke her perfect back
Into tiny pieces
She never talked anyway
Then they squeezed me till I cracked
And one by one I gave away all her secrets
Forgive me anyway
I thought I was strong enough to be everything
You could ever want or need or need of me
Anyway
And the words that I hear are the lies that you say

Just tell me what you've got to say to me
I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth
It comes as no surprise at all you see
So cut the crap and tell me that we're through
Now I know your heart, I know your mind
You don't even know you're bein' unkind
So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways
Just use me up and then you walk away
Boy, you can't play me that way
Well I guess what you say is true
I could never be the right kind of girl for you
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
When I saw my best friend yesterday
She said she never liked you from the start
Well me, I wish that I could claim the same
But you always knew you held my heart
And you're such a charming, handsome man
Now I think I finally understand
Is it in your genes? I don't know
But I'll soon find out, that's for sure
Why did you play me this way?
Well I guess what you say is true
I could never be the right kind of girl for you
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
Well I guess what they say is true
I could never spend my life with a man like you
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman

You're living life fucked up every single day
And now I can't remember the last time you were
Straight
You're a joke but no one's laughing any more
You're the face that closes every open door
I'm telling you you've got to change
I saw your boyfriend he never wants to see you again
And the sunglasses didn't fool his friends
You had a good thing there
The best it's ever been
But your new hip friends didn't think he fitted in
I'm telling you you've got to change
I don't mind you stealing money from my house
I've known you far too long for that to matter now
But I will not take the lies and disrespect
With all the things you've given
What you gonna get

Here's the best I can do
So far away from you
As the ocean holds the sky
So I try to hold your eyes
And I know the world is turning
I know it's yesterday for you
But the shape we're giving love
Could never be untrue
Choose the way you want to be
That doesn't mean him or me
Love is so much more that flesh
How to hurt and how to kiss
And I know the world is turning
I know it's yesterday for you
But the shape we're giving love
Could never be untrue
I wish I'd known you when
I could have made a change
I would have been a friend
I would have given you anything
As you touch near your heart
Are we really far apart?
Yes I know distance kills
But it can't fight love's will
And I know the world is turning
I know it's yesterday for you
But the shape we're giving love
Could never be untrue
And we know the world is turning
We know that yesterday is due
But this shape we're giving love
Can never be untrue

Should be enough to love someone
Just be happy they're alive
Do you have to know what they're doing
Like a job from nine to five
But the big bad wolf is coming
Singing 'he la la' what's new
He's going to blow our fragile house in
And run away with you
Oh won't you stay
Here for a day
In my head
And a walk is such a long way
When you have to get to her
An infinily of individual steps
Separates you from that girl
But the big bad wolf is coming
Singing 'he la la' what's new
He's going to blow our fragile house in
And run away with you
Oh won't you stay
Here for a day
In my head
All the things you tried to do
All those times you could never see it through
Everything you thought that you knew
Melted away
Left you no truth
Should be enough to love someone
Just be happy she's alive
Do you have to know that she hates you
Like a job from nine to five
And every time you talk to her
She seems to like you less
Was it all a misunderstanding
Just a big elaborate test
But the big bad wolf is coming
Singing 'he la la' what's new
He's going to blow our fragile house in
And run away with you
Oh won't you stay
Here for a day

I can't hear a single word you're saying
Well perhaps it's time you started using your brains
This arrangement you've made
Do you know the risk you're taking
Look I understand every pleasure needs it's pain
You know I could never compete
With someone
Whose heart is so indiscreet
You never
Know what she's going to say or do
Every time you talk to her
I lose
How can I be sure
I know you've felt this way before
It seems the only thing to do
Is find a duplicate of you
All my life this has been my favourite dream
So you should be glad I've made it flesh for you
But now that we're here I don't like what I'm feeling
Well we've gone too far so now you've got to choose
You know I could never compete
With someone
Whose heart is so indiscreet
You never
Know what she's going to say or do
Every time you talk to her
I lose
How can I be sure
I know you've felt this way before
It seems the only thing to do
Is find a duplicate of you
Well she looked at me
As I ran far the door
There was nothing between us any more
As I pressed the key
I could see her heart
Starting to beat
While yours had stopped
How can I be sure
I know you've felt this way before
It seems the only thing to do

I think I need another lover
I think I need another lover
I think I need another lover
Like I need a hole in my head
Why do you chase me and play hard to get
When you know very well that I couldn't care less
I could never find a girl like you
Appealing
With your soft boiled head
And hard boiled views
You're a baby maggie thatcher in trendier shoes
It would make me laugh
If it wasn't quite so depressing
Do I really have to tell the world
I've already found my perfect girl
I see you're furious cos I'm staying calm
Well my fidelity is not prey to your charms
I bet you never thought someone who looks like me
Could be so choosy
So go back to the bar and I'll stay here
In the same little corner I've stood for years
With the geeks and the freaks
My unfashionable clique
Of losers
Do I really have to tell the world
I've already found my perfect girl
Is it so hard to understand
Look at my third finger

You're crying, 'cuz I've spilt your pains again
But in a few short years
You'll understand true life pain
When those baby eyes of yours
Have turned the brightest blue
And boys fall into them
You just won't know what to do
And I can see you trying
To make him understand
And I can see him ask why
He can't be your man
Now winter's around us
And your kisses keep me warm again
But when the spring brings the flowers
Will they wash away with the rain?
And when the land is wrapped in white
We're as happy as kids could be
I'll let you win every snowball fight
If you'll only stay with me
And I can see you trying
To make him understand
And I can see him ask why
He can't be your man
I see you're leaving
Has March really come so soon?
I don't want to pressure you
But can we make a date, a week next June?
And I never understand why you run away
Because I know he's waiting for you
Every sunny, cloudless day
And I can see you trying
To make him understand
And I can see him ask why
He can't be your man
And I can see me trying
To make you understand
And I can see me ask why
I can't be your man
Ohh woo woo ho
Ohh woo woo woh ho ho
Ohh woo woo ho
Ohh woo woo woh ho ho
Ohh woo woo ho
Ohh woo woo woh ho ho
Ohh woo woo ho

I can't understand
After everything that we planned
How you could turn around to me and whisper goodbye
Well I've been dropped before
But not so high off the floor
And I just can't seem to pick myself up again
If it's something that I said
That made you feel this way
Then I take back every word from the first hello
But most likely I know
Your parents said baby no
And the boy you told your friends about just had to go
Well it's a white town with green trees
And nothing in love is free
So if it's not worth fighting for

Well I've been around, I've seen the world,
I've met many women down like you,
But don't you think it's time you took control,
And taught me what you want me to do?
So baby give me what I want
Give me what I want
Give it to me all the way
Give me what I want
Give me what I want
Give it to me night and day
Give me some pain
Give me some pain
Love is a many splendoured thing,
But only on a bed of trust,
So wipe away my past with your sweet fists,
And show me the freedom of lust
And baby give me what I want
Give me what I want
Give it to me all the way
Give me what I want
Give me what I want
Give it to me night and day
Give me some pain
Darling, won't you give me some pain
Give me what I want
Give me what I want
Give it to me all the way
Give me what I want
Give me what I want
Give it to me night and day
Give me some pain
Darling, won't you give me some pain
Won't you give me some pain
