Well it's a lonely road that you have chosen
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
And it's a long time since your heart was frozen
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you, and I don't want to
Till the moment your eyes open and you know
That it's a lonely place that you have run to
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
And it's a lonely end that you will come to
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you, and I don't want to
Till the moment your eyes open and you know
For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you, and I don't want to
In a pearl grey room one afternoon.
One afternoon, what you gonna do?
I hang on your words but there's nothing new.
You take a beautiful thing, pull off a wing.
Pull of a wing; safety pin.
It'll never shine quite as bright again.
But you havn't told me anything,
that I didn't already know.
No you havn't said a single thing,
that I didn't already know.
Everything I love's stuck in the mud.
Stuck in the mud, stuck in a rut.
I'm a piece in your puzzle or a paper cut.
So same time next week, kiss on the cheek,
kiss on the cheek; say after me:
"Everything's tied up nice and neat."
But you havn't told me anything,
that I didn't already know.
No you havn't sold me anything,
that I didn't already own.
I feel for you, I really do.
Nothing adds up like you want it to.
No words can mend this fix I'm in.
Give me your worst I won't even blink,
right between the eyes I won't feel a thing.
Because you havn't told me anything,
that I didn't already know.
No you havn't said a single thing,
that I didn't already know.
No you havn't told me anything...
No you havn't told me anything...
No you havn't told me anything...
The more we rush about, the less we do,
I never saw you drift away.
The more we spin around, the less we move,
I never saw your spirit break.
I wish that I could be your journey's end
But you are only passing through, yeah.
It's not for me to try to steer your way,
I wish you well in all you do.
Just say you'll watch how you go,
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now.
Just say you'll mind how you roam,
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now.
I hope you know that you're a graceful soul,
You fill the room with hope and light.
It's only right that you should go your way,
Cause nothing ever lasts that long.
Just say you'll watch how you go,
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now.
Just say you'll mind how you roam,
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now.
Behind now... behind now... behind now.
Just say you'll watch how you go,
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now.
Just say you'll mind how you roam,
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now.
Oooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,
The things that we have shared,
This is the last time
That I will say these words
I remember the first time
The first of many lies
Sweep it into the corner
Or hide it under the bed
Say these things they go away
But they never do
Something I wasn't sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I've seen too little of
The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
And I no I don't mind
This is the last time
That I will show my face
One last tender lie
And then I'm out of this place
So tread it into the carpet
Or hide it under the stairs
Say that some things never die
Well I tried and I tried
Something I wasn't sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I've seen too little of
The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
And I no I don't mind
The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
The boys are grinning from the photograph
It's Friday night and they're trying so hard
The sun is dropping and they want to go
Driving into town to see some girls they know
The boys, blazing on a summer night
Girls they want to watch them ride
Is that the way it was before?
Cause I don't remember
Boys, friends at every bar in town
Running all the good days down
Is that the way it was before?
Cause I don't remember
We felt like fighters when we caught the plane
Until that day we'd never heard its name
We did some things we didn't understand
And now we feel like strangers in our own land
The boys, blazing on a summer night
Girls they want to watch them fight
Is that the way it was before?
Cause I can't remember
Boys, friends at every bar in town
Running all the good days down
Is that the way it was before?
Cause I can't remember
This photograph, I hold it when I sleep
Cause people soon stop asking
When I cannot explain what I have seen
And at the bars in town
All the boys in town
Are running all the good days down
Running all the good days down
Running all the good days down
I hold you in my hands
A little animal
And only some dumb idiot
Would let you go
But if I'm one thing
Then that's the one thing
I should know
Can anybody find their home
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home
I hold you in cupped hands
And shield you from a storm
Where only some dumb idiot
Would let you go
But if I'm one thing
Then that's the one thing
I should know
Can anybody find their home
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home
Lost in the sun
Can anybody find their home
Come on, come on, come on
Can anybody find their home
Oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Can anybody find their home
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home
Lost in the sun
Can anybody find their home
Come on, come on, come on
Can anybody find their home
Oooooh
Can anybody find their home

[Keane]
Some days, feel my soul has left my body
Feel I'm floating high above me
Like I'm looking down upon me
Start sinking, every time I get to thinking
It's easier to keep on moving
Never stop to let the truth in
[K'naan]
Sometimes I feel like it's all been done
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one
Sometimes I wanna change everything I've ever done
I'm too tired to fight and yet too scared to run
[Keane]
And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don't wanna know
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe
[K'naan]
I feel like a thief who has no faith
Maybe more than by the grade
Of the drugs you took that day
Sinking in the pain he's been inflicting
Yet he's feeling like the victim
Just a horoscope's to blame
[Keane]
Sometimes I feel like a little lost child
Sometimes I feel like the chosen one
Sometimes I wanna shout out 'til everything goes quiet
Sometimes I wonder why I was ever born
And if I stop for a minute
I think about things really I don't wanna know
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm child and so wherever you go
I will follow
[K'Naan - rap]
One... yeah...
And baby you are just beautiful from crown to your cuticles
You held down my two sons, you never frown when duty calls
You know me, I gave you more than you can handle
But you still keep a handle on it, even when I take something beautiful and vandal on it
No more females? Well how come my emails got notes on a scandal
It's like Eve with the apple,
A priest in the chapel
Overcome by the devil's tackle
I'm still shackled the bad til I know
I'm such a hassle every time I let my thoughts go
I get baffled so I hardly pause
I just crossed seas with these gnarly broads
Cos it hurts me just to see what I finally lost
So I guess I'm just a fiend
Consumed by the scene
The stage and the screens
Where it's just me and Keane
[Keane]
And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don't wanna know
[K'naan]
So I guess I'm just a fiend
Consumed by the scene
[Keane]
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe
[K'naan]
The stage and the screens
You think your days are uneventful
And no one ever thinks about you
She goes her own way
She goes her own way
You think your days are ordinary
And no one ever thinks about you
But we're all the same
And she can hardly breathe without you
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
Think about the lonely people
Then think about the day she found you
Or lie to yourself
And see it all dissolve around you
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
Lonely people tumble downwards
My heart opens up to you
When she says
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
Well you could write it in the dirt girl
Write it on a ten pound note
Everything that I have learned so far
Nothing's worth knowing till you know your part
Times are getting leaner
If ever you were on my side
Oh how I wish that you were stood here now
Leading me to shelter when the night comes down
"Baby" you said, "We're not ever gonna go home."
And "Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?"
Well it's the pressure of the years girl
Burning little holes in love
Till we make every little thing so hard
Nothing comes easy to a cage-like heart
Now the light is failing
If ever you were at my side
Then love I need you to be stood there now
Down to the wire where the bad ones go
"Baby" you said, "We're not ever gonna go home."
And "Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?"
Well maybe those words never really mattered at all
But lately those words run with me wherever I go.
"Baby" you said, "We're not ever gonna go home."
And "Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?"
"Baby" you said, "We're not ever gonna go home."
We are just the monkeys who fell out of the trees
We are blisters on the earth
And we are not the flowers
We're the strangling weeds in the meadow
And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves
When we don't want to live alone
So step into the vacuum
Tear off your clothes and be born again
Pretend that you're alone now and everything's gone
Just animal reflexes, no one looking on
Forget about the fashion, forget about the law
Pretend that you're alone now
I wonder what I'd do
If I could wake up every morning with a clean slate
I'd burn through the cities and tear through the towns
'Cause there's no deals to make
So break out of the cages
The delicate structures we cling to all our lives
'Cause we're just the monkeys who fell out of the trees
When we were trying to fly
Pretend that you're alone now and everything's gone
Just primal desire, no right and no wrong
Forget about the future, forget about blame
Pretend that you're alone now
Pretend that you're alone now
She's not waiting for tomorrow
And she has no love in her eyes
Oh no, I wanna come down right now
But although I wanna get out right now, ooh
Pretend that you're alone now and everything's gone
Just animal reflexes, there's no one looking on
Forget about religion, forget about shame
Pretend that you're alone now
No numbers in your phone now, there's nothing going on
Just primal desire, no right and no wrong
Forget about fashion, forget about fame
Pretend that you're alone now
Pretend that you're alone now
At the start of the news day
The fires begin
In words and in pictures
But I’m not listening
I’m not taking it in
I’m going to go to the country
Where nothing goes on
Going to bury my head
Where I can’t hear the sound of bombs
Playing along
Me, I’m just playing along
You and I, so many good people
All just playing along
I’m going to go to a bar
Where the jukebox is on
Going to shut out the noise
With a rock 'n' roll song
Playing along
I’m going to turn up the volume
I’m going to turn up the volume
I’m going to turn up the volume
Till I can’t even think
Tell us a tale of the proud and the free
Sing us a swing time American melody
From Follow The Fleet
Me, I’m just playing along
You and I, a billion people
All just playing along
I’m going to turn up the volume
I’m going to turn up the volume
I’m going to turn up the volume
I shake through the wreckage for signs of life
Scrolling through the paragraphs
Clicking through the photographs
I wish I could make sense of what we do
Burning down the capitals
The wisest of the animals
Who are you? What are you living for?
Tooth for tooth, maybe we'll go one more
This life is lived in perfect symmetry
What I do, that will be done to me
Read page after page of analysis
Looking for the final score
We're no closer than we were before
Who are you? What are you fighting for?
Holy truth? Brother, I choose this mortal life
Lived in perfect symmetry
What I do, that will be done to me
As the needle slips into the run out groove
Love, maybe you'll feel it too
And maybe you'll find life is unkind and over so soon
There is no golden gate, there's no heaven waiting for you
Oh boy, you ought to leave this town
Get out while you can the meter's running down
The voices in the streets you love
Everything is better when you hear that sound
Woah, woah, woah
Spineless dreamers hide in churches
Pieces of pieces of rush hour buses
I dream in emails, worn out phrases
Mile after mile of just empty pages
Wrap yourself around me
Wrap yourself around me
As the needle slips into the run out groove
Maybe you'll feel it too, maybe you'll feel it too
Maybe you'll feel it too, maybe you'll feel it too
(Spineless dreamers hide in churches)
Pieces of pieces of rush hour buses
I dream in emails, worn out phrases
Mile after mile of just empty pages
Now is the time of our comfort and plenty
These are the days we've been working for
Nothing can touch us and nothing can harm us
No, nothing goes wrong anymore
Singing a song with your feet on the dashboard
A cigarette streaming into the night
These are the things that I want to remember
I want to remember you by
They won't come again, because love is the end
Oh no my friend, love is the end
I took off my clothes and I ran to the ocean
Looking for somewhere to start anew
And when I was drowning in that holy water
All I could think of was you
Oh my friend love is the end
So best not pretend, because love is the end
Take it back, don't let it die
Oh rage against the fall of night
Because I still do depend on you
Don't say those words that run me through
Oh love is the end
So let’s not pretend, because love is the end
And so I tread the only road
The only road I know
Nowhere to go but home
Nowhere to go
Maybe our time is up
But still you can’t abandon
All the principles of love
Don’t say those words
Oh, don’t say those words
Don’t say those words
Featuring: K'naan
You're living in a place you left behind
Going 'round in circles all the time
Can see the way your head, it's like you're blind
So open your eyes and
Time realign just what you got
With what you nearly had and what you want
You fall asleep and then the moment's gone
So open your eyes and
Yeah, hard to undo time
Hard to separate my past from the wrong
'Cause how can you separate milk from lime
Waste my time
Looking back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your mind's always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder
Think about the places you could never be
Beauty in the faces that you never see
As you lie there sleeping, how the moment flies
So open your eyes and
Yeah, they say life makes us backwards
Only you got to live it forward
Don't waste your time, no
Don't waste your time just looking back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your mind's always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder
Looking back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your mind's always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder
Am I the only one tryna fight off an army
Of memories, dressed up, all tryin' to harm me
I feel cocky running up the steps like Rocky
Until the past comes flashing like paparazzi
Nothing is new so I open my folder
My favorite view is over my shoulder
Everything backwards is my plight
It's landing first would end my flight
Even my tears run up my cheeks, back in my eye
Live I die
Don't waste your time just looking back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your mind's always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your mind's always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder
You're always looking back
Over and over and over
Somethings crept in under our door
Silence soaking through the floor
Pinching like a stone in my shoe
Some chemical that's breaking down the glue
That's been biding me to you
I feel like I just don't know you anymore
But iv'e been burned and iv'e been wrong so many times
We walk in circles, the blind leading the blind
Well I thought that love watched over this house
But your boarding up the windows now
We've been leaning on each other so hard
Tied so tight we wound up miles apart
Making simple things so hard
I feel like I just don't know you anymore
But iv'e been burned and iv'e been down so many times
We walk in circles, the Blind leading the blind
We've been disconnected somehow
There's an invisible wall between us now
But iv'e been wrong and iv'e been down so many times
We walk in circles the blind leading the blind
I see the landscape change before my eyes
The features iv'e been navigating by
No nothing looks the way it did before
I don't know where to look, or what to look for
I feel like I just don't know you anymore
But iv'e been burned and iv'e been down so many times
We walk in circles, the blind leading the blind
We've been disconnected somehow
There's an invisible wall between us now
But iv'e been wrong and iv'e been down so many times
We walk in circles, the blind leading the blind
We've been disconnected somehow
There's an invisible wall
The winter night has wrapped a rag around your eyes
And stolen your sight
You seem so far away
I hope you find your way back someday
I miss you, I miss you
Some days set your world on fire
And some days they sink like stones
That's when your heart can cry out
Until your body is numb
And the night will try to change you
But the day will come
Dream hard and shoot high
Sometimes our fingers graze the sky
But we can't hold on
Some days set your world on fire
And some days they sink like stones
That's when your heart can cry out
Until your body is numb
And the night will try to change you
But the day will come
Brother don't hang your head
Until your distance is run
'Cause though it seems so far away
You know the day will come
Some days set your world on fire
And some days they sink like stones
That's when your heart can cry out
Until your body is numb
And the night will try to change you
But the day will come
Brother don't hang your head
Until your distance is run
'Cause though it seems so far away
Who is the man I see
Where I'm supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
Under the iron sea
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Lines ever more unclear
I'm not sure I'm even here
The more I look the more I think that I'm
Starting to disappear
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong
I don't where I am
And I don't really care
I look myself in eye
There's noone there
I fall upon the earth
I call upon the air
But all I get is the same old vacant stare
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
High in the bell tower
I took my view
Over the downtown
To the avenues
Where the streets are wide
And the people thrive
And it's further to fall down
'Cause you fly so high
I've never seen such beauty
I've never seen such clear skies
I've never seen such high hopes
I've never seen such tired eyes
And I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Down in the delta
The city wakes
Turns on the TV
As the levy breaks
Where the streets are burnt
In the summer sun
And there nowhere to run to
When your time has come
I've never seen such beauty
I've never seen such clear skies
I've never seen such high hopes
I've never seen such tired eyes
[Unverified] leaps up piece by piece
[Unverified] watching over me
Take my pills on a winter sleep
I send myself to sleep
And I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are
And I wish that I could see
The world the way you do
As selfishly as you
And I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are
And I wish that I could stay
My faith you way you do
As certainly as you
Clear skies gonna fall on you
Clear skies gonna fall on you
Clear skies gonna fall on you
I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stuck here dithering around
Though I know I said I'd wait around till you need me
I have to go, I hate to let you down
But I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
'Cause I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk
I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stuck here withering away
Though I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind
But I have to go, it breaks my heart to say
That I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
'Cause I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk
No one back home
I've got troubles of my own
And I can't slow down
For no one in town
And I can't stop now
And I can't slow down
For no one in town
And I can't stop now
For no one
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
I think you know
Because it's old news
The people you love
Are hard to find
So I think if I
Were in your shoes
I would be kind
I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
I guess we're just older now
I want to stay
Another season
See summer upon
This sorry land
So don't dust off your gun
Without a reason
You understand
I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
I guess we're just older now
Who says the river can't leave its waters?
Who says you walk in a line?
Who says the city change its borders?
Who says you're mine?
I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a record you're tired of
I guess we're just older now
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
So far...
Bright sky turning round
Black rain falling down
If you've got love
You better hope that that's enough
Sad storm can't escape
Black clouds circling
If youve got love
Is this what you meant?
Is this what you dreamed of
When you were making your plans
Shaking the dirt off?
Do you feel like you and I belong?
Just keep your eyes on the road
And nothing can go wrong
You can do so much better than this
You can do so much better than this
I’ve been checking my sums
Oh where did the time go?
Holding my photograph up to the window
Through the paper and refracted sun
I can see all the things I wish that I’d done
You can hang your hopes on the medicine
You can put your faith in the phone-in
You can tell yourself you’re doing your best
You can do so much better than this
Get a grip on yourself
Get a grip on yourself
Could have been something but you’re too late
And you weren’t invited anyway
Because the photographs show the wrong man
Because there is no soap star holding your hand
You don’t see yourself in the freeze frame
Must be someone else using your name
And everyone will be the same
And everyone will glow
And everywhere you’ll see your name
In every shop window
It’s better than this
You can do so much better than this
You can do so much better than this
I've got time to kill
I'm not living for the moment anymore
I don't wanna wake up
I've got time to kill
I'm not living for the future anymore
I don't wanna wake
I don't wanna wake up
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
Time, I wait for you
Hibernating, hoping life will start again
Petal in the water
The days all seem the same
I dream by day, I shut the light out, I escape
I don't wanna wake
I don't wanna wake up
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
Slumping backwards, I forget, I forget
Time has wrapped its drowsy arms around my neck
Don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
And back again
Many's the time I ran with you down
The rainy roads of our old town
Many the lives we lived in each day
And buried altogether
Don't laugh at me
Don't look away
You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped
And legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know!
I know you think I'm holding you down
And I've fallen by the wayside now
And I don't understand the same things as you
But I do
Don't laugh at me
Don't look away
You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped
And legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know!
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
Allemande, where have you gone?
Did I know anything about you?
Many moons have come and gone
They wane so easily without you
All along, I said we'd be
Sorry, sorry and so we are
Ain't that the way that the way that the wind blows
Ain't that the way that the way that the wind blows
Ain't that the way that the way that the wind blows
You home
Sorry, sorry and so we are
Allemande, your face so long
And all my silly hopes hung on you
All along I said we'd be
Sorry, sorry and so we are
Ain't that the way that the way that the wind blows
Ain't that the way that the way that the wind blows
Ain't that the way that the way that the wind blows
You home
Sorry, sorry and so we are
Ooo ooo
Ooo ooo
Ooo ooo
Ooo ooo
The way that the wind blows you home
I didn't want to go
Go back and look for you
But it's a heartless drug
I'm addicted to
And when I drive that road
And start to feel that chill
I think I see your face
Do you come here still?
Those were the times and these were the places
Your love is so good
And now that I'm here I suddenly find
I'm tumbling backward
I'm back to where I was before
Dreaming of glory in your love
And now I'm laying on your floor
Crashed on the surface of your love
The chemicals react
The molecules collide
The poison works its way
Somewhere down inside
There we were young, I really believed love
Would never leave us
But time has a knack of pulling the rug out
From underneath us
And nothing matters anymore
I'm still a victim of your love
And now I'm banging on your door
Tumbling backwards with your love
Over and over with your love
I know they're only ghosts and memories
That I'm clutching at
Maybe I'm reaching back for
Something I never had
Still it seemed so real to me
These ragged threads that lead me back to you
Losing my mind, waiting for you
I'm back to where I was before
Tumbling backwards with your love
And now I'm laying on your floor
Crashed on the surface of your love
Where the other dreams we had
Fractured and frozen with your love
You put a spell upon me there
To never be broken with your love
No where to run to with your love
Lover I remember
Laying out a map
Throwing our possessions
In the van
Your tapes piled on the backseat
And a camera in your hand
Dressed for our arrival
In the Strangeland
Strangeland blind
You got no reason, you got no rhyme
You give no time
To put things right [x2]
You drove across the border
As the winter rains ran dry
And only fateful birdsong
Filled the sky
You threw your head back screaming
As we raced across wet sand
And lept into the waters
Of the Strangeland
Strangeland blind
You got no reason, you got no rhyme
You give no time
To put things right [x2]
You wound the rope around me
And you pulled the knots in tight
And shook me like a bad dream
From your sight
And now the things I've done to forget you
Well it's not what I had planned
The sweetest thoughts get twisted
In the Strangeland
Strangeland blind
You got no reason, you got no rhyme
You give no time to put things right
To put things-
Strangeland dreams
You tore my baby away from me
We get no time
To put things right [x2]
You give no time
In a city like mine there's no point in fighting
I close my eyes, see you and me driving
If I am a river, you are the ocean
Got the radio on, got the wheels in motion
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, we're gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I want to love the way we used to then
I lie in the dark, I feel I'm falling
Feel your hand on my back, hear your voice calling
I'm out of my depth, girl stick close to me
Because the people in this town, they look straight through me
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, we're gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I want to love the way we used to then
Because baby I'm not scared of this world when you're here
No baby I'm not scared of this world when you're here
Oh you and I we're gonna rise again
Oh, you and I we're gonna rise again
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, we're gonna rise again
Divided from the light
The sun gleams in,
Hear the magpies sing for sorrow
It makes things better
Maybe we'll get to spread
Our wings tomorrow
If luck will let us
Can anyone fly into these grey skies?
Is there somewhere I'm meant to be
Sea fog comes like a river
Rolls a stone it's rolling me
I missed my turn,
In the dark I hear your voice
It makes things easy
I've strayed too far from the road
Where she could always make things easy
And I won't fight through the rising tide
If that's the way it has to be
Sea fog comes like a river
Rolls a stone it's rolling me
Sea fog comes like a river
Rolls a stone it's rolling me
Sea fog rolling
Sea fog rolling
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
He's watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to his arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond a star, it's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
I don't know your face no more
Or feel your touch that I adore
I don't know your face no more
It's just a place I'm looking for
We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a different world
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well
I don't know your thoughts these days
We're strangers in an empty space
I don't understand your heart
It's easier to be apart
We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a another time
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well be strangers
Be strangers
For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
A house on fire
A wall of stone
A door that once was open
An empty face and empty bones
Who ate your heart?
You're cold inside
You're not the one I hoped for
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
The wind wouldn't blow me home
To lie in your heart of hearts
Will I ever see you again
And lie in your heart of hearts
Who ate your heart?
You're cold inside
You're not the one I hoped for
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
The wind wouldn't blow me home
To lie in your heart of hearts
Will I ever see you again
I fell asleep on a late night train
I missed my stop and I went round again
Why would I want to see you now?
To fix it up, make it up somehow
Baby I'll try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time
What I was isn't what I am
I'd change back but I don't know if I can
Still I'll try, try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time
But I was made the way I am
I'm not a stone; I'm just a man
Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine
Rip back the time that we've been wasting
God I wish you could see me now
You'd pick me up and you'd sort me out
Still I'll try, try again, try again
On a day like today
I looked at you and I
Saw something in the way
You stared into the sky
I saw you were sick
And tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew the way I feel
I'd really love to tell you
But I could never seem to say the things I needed to
On a day like today no other words would do
I saw you were sick
And tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew the way I feel
I'd really love to tell you
But I can never find the words to say and I don't know why
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!
You must think I'm a fool
So prosaic and awkward and all
D'you think you've got me down?
D'you think I've never been out of this town?
Do I seem too eager to please to you now?
You don't know me at all
I can't turn it on, turn it off like you now
I'm not like you now
Now you're here
I bet you're wishing you could disappear
I'm trying to be kind
I get the feeling you're just killing time
You look down on me
Don't you look down on me now
You don't know me at all
A slap in the face
In the face for you now
Just might do now
You're leaving so soon
Never had a chance to bloom
But you were so quick
To change your tune
Don't look back
If I'm a weight around your neck
Cos if you don't need me
I don't need you
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!
Leaving so soon, soon
Leaving, leaving so, soon
You're leaving so soon
Never had a chance to bloom
But you were so quick
To change your tune
Don't look back
If I'm a weight around your neck
Cos if you don't need me
Then I don't need you
A turning tide
Lovers at a great divide
why d'you laugh
When I know that you hurt inside?
And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say?
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say
A tell-tale sign
You don't know where to draw the line
And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say
Well for a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
When you, when you forget your name
When old faces all look the same
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up
If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake
Bitter and hardened heart
Aching waiting for life to start
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up
If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake
If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
I hope all my days will be lit by your face
I hope all the years will hold tight our promises
I don't want to be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't want to be old and feel afraid
I don't want to be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't want to be old and feel afraid
And if I need anything at all
I need a place that's hidden in the deep
Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep
Though all the world is broken
I need a place where I can make my bed
A lover's lap where I can lay my head
'Cause now the room is spinning
Whwn you, when you forget your name
When old faces all look the same
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you`ll wake up
If only I don`t bend and break
I`ll meet you on the other side
I`ll meet you in the light
If only i don`t suffocate
I`ll meet you in the morning when you wake
Lovesick, bitter and hardened heart
Aching,waiting for life to start
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you`ll wake up
If only I don`t bend and break
I`ll meet you on the other side
I`ll meet you in the light
If only i don`t suffocate
I`ll meet you in the morning when you wake
An old fairytale told me
The simple heart will be prized again
A toad will be our king
And ugly ogres are heroes
Then you'll shake
Your fist at the sky
"Oh why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?"
All promises broken
Feed your people or lose your throne
And forfeit your whole kingdom
I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone
You were our golden child
But the gentle and the mild
Inherit the earth, while
Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Cos now we all know
Soon, someone will put a spell on you
Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know
You will lie in a deep sleep
That's when
Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Times goes by at such a pace
It's funny how it's easy to forget her face
You hide the cracks, the facts will find you
Turn your back and leave the lonely days behind you now
You better put it behind you now
You better put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, hold on to
You better put it behind you now
All the things you took for granted
Hit you like a bullet in the gut
You can't get up
Well are you gonna even try?
Cos if you never even try
Time will pass you by
You better put it behind you now
You better put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, hold on to (Hold on, hold on to)
You better put it behind you now
You better put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, to hold on to (Hold on, hold on to)
You better do what's best for you
Don't care what she said and (Better put it behind you now, better put it behind you now)
Only in your head (Hold on, hold on to)
Time will help you out (Better put it behind you now, you better put it behind you now)
Still you don't see her (Hold on, hold on to)
You better put it behind you now
You better put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, to hold on to
I, I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
It's so long that now I think I was wrong
And you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on
My side
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Sometimes it's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Well, maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand
Sometimes I get the feeling that
I'm stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme
[Incomprehensible] is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days
After all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
Nothing left inside this old cathedral
Just the sad, lonely spires
How do you make it right?
Oh, but you try
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days, after all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
Why do I have to fly
Over every town, up and down the line?
And I'll die in the clouds above
And you that I defend, I do not love
I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side, I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
Where will I meet my fate?
Baby, I'm a man and I was born to hate
And when will I meet my end?
In a better time you could be my friend
I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side, I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side
But you're long gone, yeah, you're long gone now, yeah
Where do we go?
I don't even know
My strange old face
And I'm thinking about those days
And I'm thinking about those days
I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side, I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side
You've been watching dawn from the gutter
Trading one bad move for another
It's been a stormy night but it's almost through
Friends you once loved don't know you
Even your own eyes don't know you
You think this whole world's trying to bury you
But it's not true
So don't you say
There's something in your core that can't be saved
Cause it's not true
And every atom of my heart is missing you
Well it's OK to be scared when
You're stuck behind a door that won't open
The shadows in your dreams that are chasing you
They're not true
So don't you say
There's something in your core that can't be saved
Cause it's not true
And every atom of my heart is missing you
The good will come through
I wish that you could feel it the way you used to
I wish you could believe it the way you used to
One day I will be back in our old street
Safe from the noise that's falling around me
And we'll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And there will be no sound
Open the bars and open the markets
Open the banks and open the churches
And we'll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And there will be no sound
We've been cowering so long
Oh, what I would give, I ask so little
Oh, what I would give to stand at the bus stop
Or browse in a bookshop to sleep and always be still
And we'll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And I will be set free from the people
Who are trying to bury me
And then only fireworks will light the sky at night
I dreamed I was drowning in the river Thames
I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin
I dreamed I was drifting on a howling wind
I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin
Slipped away from your open hands into the river
Saw your face looking back at me
I saw my past and I saw my future
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But anyway you look at things
Looks like the lovers are losing
I dreamed I was watching the young lover's dance
I reached out to touch your hand but I was watching from a distance
We cling to love like a skidding car clings to a corner
I try to hold on to what we are, the more I squeeze the quicker we all are
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But anyway you look at things
Looks like the lovers are losing
I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin
I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin
I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin
I dreamed I had nothing at all
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But anyway you look at things
Looks like the lovers are losing
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But in the final reckoning
Once there was a great storm
Pushed my head beneath the waves I was gone
Underneath the walnut tree
Where you said you'd wait for me
And I waited a long long time.
I waited a long long time
I waited a long long time
I waited a long long time
I waited a long long time
Why, why do I come here?
Seeking out the memories I hold dear
Cos you put your spell on me
Made me live in memory
And im frozen in just the wrong time
I waited a long long time
I waited a long long time
I waited a long long time
This town was a lovers stage
But now you can't recognise
The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
You can't find your bearings
Your slipping into the ground
The scene has no colour and no sound.
You still believe in me
After the things I've done
You fear for what we have become
The ground is uneven
You stumble from day to day
You tread where it's easy
Although your feet are like lead
And you gotta get underway
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know youve been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.
Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze
Love wont rest till it brings you to your knees
Some find it easy, some will never even know
You think youve done your journey,
Then you stumble and find that there's such a long way to go
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know youve been kicked around
You wanna be lost but now your found
Lets take the back way into town
Drink to the bad times
Lay them down on me
Girl, I still believe in you
Your too good to fall so low
Were gonna find a better life I know
Things will be clearer
As soon as we make a start
Well be that much nearer
Were too old to just stand here waiting to break apart
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know youve been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.
Like beautiful dolls, all made up and bright
Radiant people, in splintering light
All moving at the speed of life
Reflecting in each others' eyes
But you're moving so fast
Through this beautiful scene
You don't see me
You don't see me
(Chorus)
Oh truly we are, a fortunate few
Who turn on your axis, revolve around you
All spinning outwards from your sun
Passing your reflection on
In your hurry to grasp
Everything you see
You don't see me
You don't see me
You don't see me
No, you don't see me
Such a beautiful view
I guess you've seen it all
But you
You see nothing at all
Such a beautiful view
Shining so bright
Shining so bright
So bright
(Chorus)
Sovereign Light Cafe - Keane
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
Down Down Powder Mill Lane and the battlegrounds
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns
I didn't know I was finding out how I'd be torn from you
When we talked about things we were gonna do
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too
We'd go down to the rides on east parade
By the lights of the palace arcade and watch night
Coming down on the sovereign light cafe
I'm begging you for some sign but you still got nothing to say
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
I'm a better man now than I was that day
Let's go down to the rides on east parade
By the lights of the palace arcade and watch night
Coming down on the sovereign light cafe
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drums and the lovers appear to take turns
As the stars of the sovereign light cafe
I wheel my bike off the train, up the north trade road
And look for you on marley lane in every building and every street sign
Oh why did we ever go so far from the road
But you've got nothing to hide, you come to change who you really are
You can get a big house and a faster car
You can run away boy but you won't go far
Let's go down to the rides on east parade
By the lights of the palace arcade and watch night
Coming down on the sovereign light cafe
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drums and the lovers appear to take turns
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?
Oh, this could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
I'm waiting for my moment to come
I'm waiting for the movie to begin
I'm waiting for a revelation
I'm waiting for someone to count me in
Because now I only see my dreams in everything I touch
Feel their cold hands on everything that I love
Cold like some magnificent skyline
Out of my reach but always in my eye line
Now we're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling
I fashioned you from jewels and stone
I made you in the image of myself
I gave you everything you wanted
So you would never know anything else
But every time I reach for you, you slip through my fingers
Into cold sunlight, laughing at the things that I had planned
The map of my world gets smaller as I sit here
Pulling at the loose threads
Now we're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling
When we fall in love
We're just falling
In love with ourselves
We're spiralling
Did you want to be a winner?
Did you want to be an icon?
Did you want to be famous?
Did you want to be the president?
Did you want to start a war?
Did you want to have a family?
Did you want to be in love?
Did you want to be in love?
I never saw the light
I never saw the light
I waited up all night
But I never saw the light
When we fall in love
We're just falling
In love with ourselves
We're spiralling
We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
There's a cold voice on the air
You've been looking everywhere
Someone to understand your hopes and fears
Well, I've thought about that for many long years
So I walk through Mansers Shaw
I don't see you anymore
We love to think about the way things were
But the time has come and I'm glad it's over
I don't know why I waste my time
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day
You know sometimes I feel like I'm
Getting snowed under with the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day
Now you think that you're alone
So you make your way back home
I'd love to greet the weary traveler
But your time has gone and I'm glad its over
I don't know why I waste my time
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day
You know sometimes I feel like I'm
Getting snowed under with the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day
I don't know why I waste my time
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day
You know sometimes I feel like I'm
Getting snowed under with the things you say
You built it up brick by brick
Put your heart into this baseless myth
Nurtured it like a child
And dressed its wounds when it ran wild
You stopped to fix your face
Someone else stepped in and took your place
Now everything you once knew
Is running circles around you
A car door slamming in your road
It jolts you like a kick inside
A year old message on your phone
That catches you when you can’t hide
I see you in the service station sign
I see you in the supermarket line
I see you silhouetted on a wall
But I don’t see myself there at all
This vessel of Balsa wood
Is the fag end tail of amoeba-hood
The busying cast confer
And get their taste of the drama
You stare through mindless daytime shows
And curse yourself for growing old
The sterile scent of shaving foam
Reminds you of another world
I see you in the roofless sombre sky
I see you when the lovers stop outside
I see you silhouetted on a wall
But I don’t see myself there at all
I see you in the sweetness of our child
I see you in the supermarket aisle
I see you when I’m kneeling on the floor
But I can’t see myself anymore
Hard times got the upper hand
Stole our feeble plans
The faces, shot me, spin me round
But I won’t lie down
Hard times shake me to the bone
Face bruised, bloody nose
Shell shocked, crawling on the ground
Still I won’t lie down
No I won’t lie down
No I won’t lie down
It's time to make a start
To get to know your heart
Time to show your face
Time to take your place
In every speck of dust
In every universe
When you feel most alone
You will not be alone
Just shine a light on me, shine a light
I'll shine a light on you, shine a light
And you will see my shadow on every wall
And you will see my footprint on every floor
It only takes a spark to tear the world apart
These tiny little things that make it all begin
Just shine a light on me, shine a light
I'll shine a light on you, shine a light
And you will see my shadow on every wall
And you'll see my reflection in your free fall
Ooh, oh, ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
Just shine a light on me, shine a light
I'll shine a light on you, shine a light
'Cause when your back's against the wall
That's when you show no fear at all
And when you're running out of time
That's when your hit tune start to rhyme
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
You've got nowhere to go
Got no way out of this hole
Got no one to say it's all just the way things are
Wouldn't it be good
To look into a brighter day
It's just the way things are
In your own time
There's no map to guide our way
So I say nothing, you say nothing
In your own way
Thought I could help you find your place
But I'm as lost as you are lost these days
Oh wouldn't it be fine
To close your eyes and see something
Something more than this
In your own time
There's no map to guide our way
So I say nothing, you say nothing
In your own way
Thought I could help you find your place
But I'm as lost as you are lost
It's not the way
Things are going to change, you know
The battles you have fought won't go to waste, you know
The things are gonna change,
It just takes time
In your own time
There's no map to guide our way
So I say nothing, you say nothing
In your own way
Thought I could help you find your place
But I'm as lost as you are lost
It's just the way
It's just the way
It's just the way
I don't wanna be adored
Don't wanna be first in line
Or make myself heard
I'd like to bring a little light
To shine a light on your life
To make you feel loved
No, don't wanna be the only one you know
I wanna be the place you call home
I lay myself down
To make it so, but you don't want to know
I give much more
Than I'd ever ask for
Will you see me in the end
Or is it just a waste of time
Trying to be your friend
Just shine, shine, shine
Shine a little light
Shine a light on my life
Warm me up again
Fool, I wonder if you know yourself at all
You know that it could be so simple
I lay myself down
To make it so, but you don't want to know
You take much more
Than I'd ever ask for
Say a word or two to brighten my day
Do you think that you could see your way
To lay yourself down
And make it so, but you don't want to know
You take much more
See how the world goes round
You've got to help yourself
See how the world goes round
And you'll help someone else
See how the world goes round
You've got to help yourself
See how the world goes round
And you'll help someone else

I wish that I could be
In the cellars of the sea
And disappear in them
Never to be seen again
Leave this life
Its unrelenting appetite
For feeding off the weak
Who never had their turn to speak
The sky will be my shroud
A monument of cloud
If we could turn back
You can paper over the crack
But it will return now
And your heart will burn black
Give me your hand
Cut the skin, let me in
The molecules of us
Bleeding into one again
The sky will be my shroud
A cenotaph of cloud
If we could turn back
You can paper over the crack
But it will return now
And your heart will burn black
Forgotten my way home
Forgotten everything that I know
Every day a false start
And it burns my heart
I know everything you said was right and I suppose
Everything is here forever till it goes
You gave it all away, kept nothing for yourself
Just a picture on the shelf
Je souhaiterai m’immerger dans les profondeurs des mers
Y disparaître pour ne plus jamais être vu
Burning up
Now I’m racing down a road I don’t recognise
I realise I’ve forgotten my way home
Forgotten everything that I know
Every day a false start
And it burns my heart
Was it all in real time or was it just in my mind
Or was I just a ghost passing through you?
Clinging to the wreckage till I got the message
Hanging at the edge of the room
Give me something that's real
Give me half of your bitterest pill
Something from under the surface
You actually feel
We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
It was in your eyes, in your eyes
They were just easy lies
The lightest words are heavy and promises are easy
And no one's ever happy or sad for very long
Well, just because I said it, it doesn't mean I meant it
I guess that was the way all along
I'm just shaping the sound
I'm just turning the syllables round
Dipping my toe in the water
And watching you drown
We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
It was in my eyes, in my eyes
They were just easy lies
And it's been a long time waiting
And it's been a lifetime in the making, oh
We said when you are alone and afraid
I will come to your aid
Was it just a dream, just a dream?
'Cause it was real to me
We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
We say these words again and again
I've been thinking
Why don't we
Jump onboard some gunship
And sail away to sea
And if I'm seized by enemy
Of any kind
I don't mind
They'll be sorry
Wait and see
The SAS will rescue me
I've been thinking
I'm so bored
What a life to live and die
By the silver sword
And if I'm crashed on stormy seas
The darkness falls and all I see
Is a desert island
That's ok
I'll use the stars to find my way
If I'm drifting to no-man's land
GHQ will lend a hand
And there's nothing king and country wouldn't do for me
I can't keep up, you're
moving too fast,
Deep holes and darkness,
these things will pass.
Dark times and strange places where...
When I came to see you
you had nothing to say,
I stood right beside you,
you turned the other way,
I reached out to hold you
and found nobody there,
You turn into air.
Trust me, I want you
just as you are,
Don't change the things you do,
just stay as you are.
Dark times and strange places where...
When I came to see you
you had nothing to say,
I stood right beside you,
you turned the other way,
I reached out to hold you
and found nobody there,
You turn into air.
(Instrumental break)
Dark times and strange places where...
When I came to see you
you had nothing to say,
I stood right beside you,
you turned the other way,
I reached out to hold you
and found nobody there,
I see I'm a long, long way from where I am supposed to be
And frankly I'm still happy here
I know where I'd rather be
So whether you're lonely like the sun
Or you rely on everyone
There's no need to be lonely
There's no need to be low
We're lines and maps and cities and songs
Feel fear the closer it comes
Till I don't know how it feels
Till I don't know how it feels
Till I don't know
A million miles from anywhere
But anyway
I don't deny the more you see
The more I try to change your mind
So whether you're lonely like the sun
Or you rely on everyone
There's no need to be lonely
There's no need to be low
We're lines and maps and cities and songs
Feel fear the closer it comes
Till I don't know how it feels
Till I don't know how it feels
Till I don't know
But I'm here whenever you say
Ever you say
Oh, little by little she blows
And that's the end of it
And little by little she blows
Don't turn your back on me
Conceal and protect me
I need you to stop me
From reeling around
The time's gonna come
When you no longer need me
But stay by my side 'til the sun has gone down
When I am an old man
And live by the sea
Will all your thoughts fly to me?
As much as I want you
I can't hold on to you
When will you return to your old home again?
May love lie around you
Good fortunes surround you
You know where to turn to
When you need a friend
When I am an old man
And live by the sea
Will all your thoughts fly to me?
When I am far away from the places we've known
Will all your love bring me home?
When I am an old man
And live by the sea
Will all your thoughts fly to me?
When I am far away from the places we've known
Will all your love bring me home?
The same, always the same
Bitter words are all that remain
Of the dream that had taken you in
But all her words were dust in the wind
It's time to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide
Say, what's that you say?
Time to move on and you're in the way
Lets get to the end and not turn around
She built you up so she could knock you down
It's time to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide
Friend, there's nothing there
You're clinging on to air
You're reaching back
To something that you never had
It's time to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide
To let it slide
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
I miss those good ol' times
just you and me so cool
sippin' on a cup of joe
was it one lump dear or two?
An early winter
I miss those good ol' times
when your words were good as bread
and laughs danced around our heads
all snug in a blanket warm
This is the last time
That I will say these words
I remember the first time
The first of many lies
Sweep it into the corner
Or hide it under the bed
Say these things, they go away
But they never do
Something I wasn't sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I've seen too little of
The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything all right
You fall on me for anything you like
And I, no, I don't mind
This is the last time
That I will show my face
One last tender lie, and
Then I'm out of this place
Tread it into the carpet
Or hide it under the stairs
You say that some things never die
Well, I tried and I tried
Something I wasn't sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I've seen too little of
The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything all right
You fall on me for anything you like
And I, no, I don't mind
The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything all right
You fall on me for anything you like
And I, no, I don't mind
Well we were born within one hour of each other Our mothers said we could be sister and brother Your name was Deborah, Deborah It never suited ya
Oh they thought that when we grew up We'd get married, and never split up We never did it, although often I thought of it Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small With wood chip on the wall When I came around to call You didn't notice me at all, and I said
Let's all meet up in the year 2000 Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown? Be there 2 o'clock, by the fountain down the road I never knew that you'd get married I would be living down here on my own On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago
You were the first girl at school to get breasts Martyn said that yours were the best The boys all loved you but I was a mess I had to watch them trying to get you undressed
We were friends but that was as far as it went I used to walk you home sometimes, but it meant Oh it meant nothing to you Cos you were so popular Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small With wood chip on the wall When I came around to call You didn't notice me at all, and I said
Let's all meet up in the year 2000 Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown? Be there 2 o'clock, by the fountain down the road I never knew that you'd get married I would be living down here on my own On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small With wood chip on the wall When I came around to call You didn't notice me at all, and I said
Let's all meet up in the year 2000 Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown? Be there 2 o'clock, by the fountain down the road I never knew that you'd get married I would be living down here on my own On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago
Caught the last train out of here
It's now 1925, english gardens i see
Laid out as there meant to be
Find a penny pick it up
You can't get much more than love
Walk the streets in the pouring rain
Crowding on the returning train
I turn back time
A life design
That will a fight
It's the human right
Caught the last train out of here
It's now 1925, english gardens i see
Laid out as there meant to be
Find a penny pick it up
You can't get much more than love
Walk the streets in the pouring rain
20 numbers on the turning train
I turn back time
A life design
That will a fight
It's the human right
I turn back time
A life design
I turn back time
A life design
I turn back time
A life design
I turn back time
Emily
Emily
All of my days spent are crashing around, crashing around
All of my years spent are running around, running around
All of my weeks spent are crashing around, crashing around
And you feel.
All of my weeks spent are flitting around, flitting around
All of my years spent are waking around, waking around
All of my will is blotting her out, it's blotting her out
And you feel, and you feel, and you feel
Emily
And you feel
Emily, Emily, Emily
Well you never really had to know
And you never really had to know
And you never really had to know, girl
And you never really lost the part
I mean you never really lost the part, ohh
I mean you never really lost the part
I mean you never really lost the part
I mean you never really lost the part, ohh
Well you never really lost the part
There's no believing
And no reason why
Well I'm superstitious
And I can fly
(There's nothing to see
And nothing to hide
I'm scared and surrounded
I only need a while )
To float through the ceiling
And into the sky
Call me what you like
I just wanna be there with you
All the time
Do you wanna be here with me
All the time?
And there's no believing
And no real surprise
Well I am a ghost here
Appearing in the night
To float through the ceiling
And into your eyes
Call me what you like
I just wanna be there with you
All the time
Do you wanna be here with me
All the time?
(Instrumental Break)
I float through the ceiling
And into your lives
Call me what you like
I just wanna be there with you
All the time
Do you wanna be here with me?
Down in the old town
When my mind is wandering
Round empty hallways
When will I be one again?
You're just making it harder for yourself
Making it easy for everyone else
Making it easy for me
In the old town
You'll never be in
And you never get out
You learn from the family
You'll never be in
And you never get out
To run to the end of the earth
Under the archways
When my mind is wallowing
Down to the country
Where I will be well again
You're just making it harder for yourself
Making it easy for everyone else
You're making it easy for me
In the old town
You'll never be in
And you never get out
You learn from the family
You'll never be in
And you never get out
To run to the end of the earth
To run to the end of the earth
Build me a home underground
Free from light and sound
Build me a home in the air
I will run to the end, to the end
And run to the end, to the end
Lonely, why so lonely?
Why are you hiding all the time?
Don't you realize time is passing?
Down through the river and into the tide to be washed aside
Tired now, why so tired now?
Have you forgotten how we used to play?
Can't you lie here just a little longer?
Let's stay together and not fade away into the night
Come out into the light
Come out into the light
Come out into the light
Come out into the light
Tired now, why so tired now?
Have you forgotten how we used to play?
Can't you lie here just a little longer?
Let's stay together and not fade away into the night
Come out into the light
Come out into the light
Come out into the light
When you're lonely and sad
If you think of the times we had
Just the thought
Will bring you back to me
Seen you staring in to space
Shadow falling across your face
But it won't take long to get to you
Whatever you do
And if your heart should melt away
No matter, I'll find you anyway
Until you look and find a love who doubles
As someone who'll understand your troubles
When you're tumbling down
Cast an eye back to our old town
And a heart to hold you won't be far
Wherever you are
And if your heart should melt away
No matter, I'll find you anyway
Until you look and find a love who doubles
As someone who'll understand your troubles
And if your heart should melt away
No matter, I'll find you anyway
Until you look and find a love who doubles
As someone who'll understand your troubles
When you're lonely and sad
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
That's o-kay!
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets
Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Chippin' around
Kick my brains round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours
People on streets
People on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher higher higher
Pressure on people
People on streets
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love?
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Well, you were happy where you were
But that girl she wheeled you in
This time was never good enough
'Cause she was gone and seen everything
And if you ever spoke of love
She just smiled and put you down
'Cause she was making all the plans
She had a vision of light and sound
She said the neon on the river will light my way
And everything that we've been dreaming of making real one day
So save your money pack your bags
We better run before we disappear
She took the train into the city but you're still here
You hear a song that takes you back
The song long for God tonight
And friends who said they hang your back
But they just turned them round and let you fight
And in the bowling alley wall
You used all your smartest minds
But they'll be painted over now
Looks like here gonna get left behind
She said the neon on the river will light my way
And all the things that we've been dreaming of making real one day
So save your money, pack your bags
I wanna run with you on Stamford hill
She took the train into the city but you stood still
You stood still about the train
You knew as you watched her go
That she wan never coming back
And start to places that you know
You said you're scared if I
Ad I didn't want to go
Where everyone else goes
She said the neon on the river will light my way
And everything that we've been dreaming of making real one day
So save your money, pack your bags
We better run before we disappear
She took the train into the city but you're still here
Zane Lowe, can you handle this?
Chris Moyles, can you handle this?
Jo Whiley, can you handle this?
I don't think she can handle this
Oh, I'm overdue
Give me some room, coming through
Pay my dues, in the mood
Me and my girls gonna shake the room
DJ's spinning, show your hands
Let's get dirty, that's my chance
I need that, uh, to get me off
Sweating till my clothes come off
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this
'Cause my body's too bootylicious for you, babe
Colin, can you handle this?
Edith, can you handle this?
Scott Mills, can you handle this?
I don't think you can handle this
Ah, heat is up
So ladies, fellas, drop your cups
Body's packed, front to back
Now move your ass, I like that
Tight hip-huggers, low for sure
Shake a little something, on the floor
I need that, uh, to get me off
Sweating till my clothes come off
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this
'Cause my body's too bootylicious for you, babe
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this
Cos my body's too bootylicious for you, babe
Here it comes, it's the one you've been waiting on
Get up, get it up, yup, that's what's up
Giving just what you love to the maximum
Uh oh, here we go
What to do when the music starts to drop?
That's when we take it to the parking lot
And I bet you somebody's gonna call the cops
Uh oh, here we go
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this
Cos my body's too bootylicious for you, babe
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this
Cos my body's too bootylicious for you, babe
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I don't think you're ready for this
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Baby, I've been travelling so long Searching for the things for which you ask, Trying to make you think I could become The things you want
Baby I've been working so hard Scratching in the dirt and in the fire Begging for the beautiful life That you require
I know I'm like a difficult child Screaming through the night So, help me find the light Without you I'm a broken down car Rusting in the yard, Still waiting for the part
Now finally I'm back in our road, Crunching on the shingle in the drive, Hungry for your love as I return, But there's no sign
I know I'm like a difficult child Screaming through the night So, help me find the light Without you I'm a broken down car Rusting in the yard, Still waiting for the part
I thought that you'd be waiting like a soldier's queen, Gazing from your window, holding out for me What a fool I've been again
No matter how strong
I'm gonna take you down
With one little stone
I'm gonna break you down
And see what you're worth
What you're really worth to me
Dinner at eight was okay
Before the toast full of gleams
It was great until those old magazines
Got us started up again
Actually it was probably me again
Why is it so
That I've always been the one who must go
That I've always been the one told to flee
When it fact you were the one long ago
Actually in the drifting white snow
You left me
So put up your fists and I'll put up mine
No running away from the scene of the crime
God's choosen a place
Somewhere near the end of the world
Somewhere near the end of our lives
But 'til then no, Daddy, don't be surprised
If I wanna see the tears in your eyes
Then I know it had to be long ago
Actually in the drifting white snow
You loved me
No matter how strong
I'm gonna take you down
With one little stone
I'm gonna break you down
And see what you're worth
Now, will it ever be the same again?
And it will it ever feel right?
The false start, then I try to twist your heart
But I supposed it always knows
I know how I let you down
But maybe I can change this time around
This heart and these hands are mine
Maybe I can change this time
Soon, I'm gonna be an older man
And I will struggle to remember
The blank space when I tried to see your face
The blinded eye, I can't replace
I know how I let you down
But maybe I can change this time around
This heart and these hands are mine
Maybe I can change this time
Oh why can't we go back again?
Rain, rain, will you ever go away?
Come back again some other day
I know how I let you down
But maybe I can change this time around
This heart and these hands are mine
Maybe I can change this time
But I've tired you out with the things I do
But I can change, and change you too
But still somehow, I have to say
"I'm on my way"
Your face in a dream returns
Once in a lifetime comes
And it passes by
I'm never on your side
And you must be blind
If you don't know why
"She'll always take you for granted"
A voice in the back of my mind said
"You could be waiting your whole life
For her to open her eyes"
I'm never on your side
And you must be blind
If you don't know why
"She'll always take you for granted"
A voice in the back of my mind said
"You could be waiting your whole life
For her to open her eyes
For her to open her eyes"
"She'll always take you for granted"
A voice in the back of my mind said
"You could be waiting your whole life
For her to open her eyes
For her to open her eyes"
I am the one
I am the only one that I care about
She is the one
She was always the one to go running around in another land
She go home
I am the one
I am always the one that I recognise
And you are the one for me
Always the one
I go running around in another land
I go home too
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
I'll take on to know that I was so
If you want to run away
I'll take back all that I'll say
I'll take on to know that I was so
I am the one
I am always the one to be recognised
She was the one
She was always the one to go running around in another land
She go home too
Will you miss me when I'm all gone?
I'll take on to know that I was so
Well you want to run away
I'll take back all that I'll say
I'll take on to know that I was so
I saw the full moon sinking
I saw the full moon sinking
If you want to run away
I'll take back all that I'll say
I'll take on to know that I was so
Well she wants to look away
She wants to run away
I'll take on to know that I was so
I saw the full moon sinking
Tings will seem much better in the morning light,
Things will seem much better in the morning light.
Love will be much easier to own.
Things will look much better in the pale sunlight.
We can be together like before.
You just need time to forget.
You just need time to expain.
You just need time to forget yourself again.
You're lying on the floor and
Staring at the ceiling.
Thinking of the place you
have never seen before.
Remember when you held
someone for the first time.
Remember when the spike was all we had.
And you want life without death.
And you want love without pain.
And you want time to go back and start again.
Lying on the floor and
Staring at the ceiling.
Thinking of the place you
have never seen before.
Thinking of your own friends.
And waiting for the feeling.
Waiting for the old and turning to return.
These days you don't know who you are.
These days you don't know where you are.
These days we don't know who we are.
So meet me by the who
where we used to go.
You're lying on the floor and
Staring at the ceiling.
Thinking of the place you
have never seen before.
Waiting for the phonecall.
And waiting for the feeling.
Waiting for the old rage
Time to leave this town
Now your dreams have all let you down
Noone here will miss you now
Time to wake up and look around
He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy
Lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy
Turn away and turn ahead
"Just a hopeless dreamer", she said
Eyes of cloud and feet of lead
Find a shore that needs you instead
He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy
Lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy
Time on your hands
World at your feet
No adventure left incomplete
Find a place where you can hide
From the love that holds you inside
Time so unkind
Like an old friend leaves you behind
He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy
Lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy
Now, during a scene
Seen it all before
We drink, we drink a little much
Drink a little more
To shake off the nerves and
To take off the edge and
Now is there any way back home?
Seen it all before and
I know the signs
We drink, drink a little much
To stimulate the mind
Now it's two hours to go
Insult everyone that we know
Now its such a long way home
Maybe its time to go?
Maybe its time we went?
Youre making a spectacle
Maybe its time we left?
I dont wanna spoil your night
I dont wanna hurt your pride
But maybe its time to go
Maybe its time?
Now eating from your hand
Laugh at every line
Soon losing track of you
Losing track of time
Now its dead on the dancefloor
And nobodys laughing anymore
Have I become a tiresome bore?
Maybe its time to go?
Maybe its time we went?
Youre making a spectacle
Maybe its time we left?
I dont wanna spoil your night
I dont wanna hurt your pride
But maybe its time to go?
Maybe its time to go?
Where theres nowhere to hide
From whats broken inside
A faultline rips right open
Under the wide wide ocean's tide
Under the wide wide ocean
Maybe its time to go?
Maybe its time we went?
Youre making a spectacle
Maybe its time we left?
I dont wanna spoil your night
I dont wanna hurt your pride
But maybe its time to fly
Maybe its time?
Maybe its time to go?
Wake me, shake me from my sleepiness
Wide-eyed, every tale is taller than the one before
Inside out and upside down
Don't make a sound
The wolf's at the door
And all your streetfighting years
Won't help you anymore
Lead me, guide me home old scatterbrain
Blog it, every smile is wider than the one before
Inside out and upside down
Don't make a sound
The wolf's at the door
And all your streetfighting years
Won't help you anymore
Inside out and upside down
And don't make a sound
So I live and feel
Oh no, don't make a sound
The wolf's at the door
And all your streetfighting years
From the shelter of your home
As you walk into the rain
Send a message that you know she'll hear
Though she's far away
Even though you have been wrong before
She'll hear you now
You know she will
But you don't know how
From the shelter of the rain
As you walk into the Tube
As you think of how you wonder if
She thinks about you too
Even though you've waited so long
To see the day
When she will turn
To you again
'So long my friend'
Is what you'll say
And I don't know
Why you feel so bad
Where is the life you once had?
And still this horrid feeling grows and grows
The way you want it to
Even though you've waited so long
To see the day
When she will turn
To you again
'So long my friend'
Is what you'll say
And I don't know
Why you feel so bad
Where is the life you once had?
And still this horrid feeling grows and grows
The way you want it to
You're a fool though
Why you feel so bad
Where is the life you once had?
And stilll this hollow feeling grows and grows
I come to
There will be no more drowning
Help, colourless and cowering
You should understand me
When you're understanding
And through all the tears
Should you be alone
Right back, I hope he will pull through
Stand back, first aid is useful
You should understand me
How was I so stupid?
And through all the tears
Should you be alone
After all the tears
Should you be alone
Yes, there's going to be a drowning
Yes, there's going to be a drowning
Half wasted
Face painted
Hold my hand
There will be no more
Please move along
There will be no more
You and me go far
We'd be famous stars
When did it go?
When my self esteem got low
Did you think of me in your tree?
Looking so amused
You and me go far
We'd be famous stars
Then what a place to be
Hiding in my tree
No more there's a boy in me
There's a girl in you
No more cos you used to do what I do to you
Oh, matey one, you ate me
Me is mine is yours
We behind closed doors
Where did it go?
When my toy friend dropped you, girl
Did you think of me?
Probably
I still care for you
You and me go far
We'd be famous stars
And what a place to be
Hiding in my tree
No more there's a boy in me
There's a girl in you
No more cos you used to do what I do to you
Oh, matey one, you ate them
You and me go far
It's time to make a start To get to know your heart Time to show your face Time to take your place
In every speck of dust In every universe When you feel most alone You will not be alone
Just shine a light on me Shine a light I'll shine a light on you Shine a light
And you will see my shadow On every wall And you will see my footprints On every floor
It only takes a spark To tear the world apart These tiny little things That make it all begin
Just shine a light on me Shine a light I'll shine a light on you Shine a light
And you will see my shadow On every wall And you will see my reflection In your freefall
Just shine a light on me Shine a light I'll shine a light on you Shine a light
Cuz when your back's against the wall That's when you show no fear at all And when you're running out of time That's when you hitch your star to mine
We won't be leaving by the same road That we came by
We won't be leaving by the same road That we came by
We won't be leaving by the same road That we came by
Oh the heads that turn
make my back burn
oh the heads that turn
make my back burn
the sparkle in your eyes
keeps me alive
the sparkle in your eyes
keeps me alive
and the world and the world
the world turns around
and the world and the world
the world drags me down
oh the heads that turn
make my back burn
the fire in your eyes keeps me alive
the fire in your eyes keeps me alive
i'm sure in her you'll find
the sanctuary
i'm sure in her you'll find
the sanctuary
and the world and the world
the world turns around
and the world and the world
Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
If I'm on my own
Then I can look at you
(Looking at me)
If I'm out on a date
I just shut my eyes
(Then I can't see)
Get away from the bar
Tell your boyfriend, "Hold your jar"
And dance with me
How do you think I'm going to get along,
Without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
If I'm on my own
Then I can look at you
(Looking at me)
If I'm out on a date
I just shut my eyes
(Then I can't see)
Get away from the bar
Tell your boyfriend, "Hold your jar"
And dance with me
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
If I'm on my own
Then I can look at you
(Looking at me)
If I'm out on a date
I just shut my eyes
(Then I can't see)
Get away from the bar
Tell your boyfriend, "Hold your jar"
And dance with me
If I'm on my own
Then I can look at you
(Looking at me)
If I'm out on a date
I just shut my eyes
(Then I can't see)
Get away from the bar
Tell your boyfriend, "Hold your jar"
When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
What do you think you'll do then?
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words sre meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait... without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you out
I can't live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tired
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win
and nothing else to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
and you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
Something in me was dying
And my heart was heavy as stone
Hard as I was trying
I never could find, find my way home
And your voice came out of nowhere
"Be my friend and give me your hand
Let's take off together
And then we can live wherever we land"
Something in me was broken
And my thoughts were bitter and ill
My world was blown open
And I couldn't see and I couldn't feel
You said "Be yourself and think of me
And you'll know there's nothing to fear
Let's make plans together
It's time to move on and and get out of here"
Girl I need you, don't know what I would do
Will you see the story through
It's a cruel world and I need somewhere to hide
But time goes by and you're still on my side
Something in me was sinking
Cos my heart was heavy as stone
I gave up, was thinking
I never would find, find my way home
And your voice came out of nowhere
"Be my friend and give me your hand
Let's take off together
And then we can live wherever we land"
Girl I need you, don't know what I could do
Will you see the story through
It's a cruel world and I need somewhere to hide
But time goes by and you're still on my side
Waiting, searching
Turning over
Running round in circles
And I've worn myself out
Hoping that we'll always be together
Yeah we'll always be together
Yeah we'll always be together
Yeah we'll always be together
Yeah we'll always be together
Loneliness is a cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love (Baby)
Emptiness is a place you're in
and nothing to lose but no more to win
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Lonely without you baby
Girl I need you, I can't go on
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love (Baby)
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love (Baby)
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
