She makes me sleep outside on the pavement,
Spends my money,
The lights are on but nobody's home,
Now aint that funny,
She likes to tell me when she's met some other A-Z,
She's my sun, yeah the one, and then some,
She says I talk for hours about nothing,
And then about nothing,
I bought a two-week break in the sun,
She says you aint coming,
And after all I count the seconds till she blinks again,
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love,
Head in the clouds, she eats me whole,
A face in the crowd, my oversoul,
And I'm spinning out, I lose control,
And I don't care,
She says give up boy you're going nowhere,
So don't even go there,
Just turn the television on,
And get the housework done,
I'm only half the man I am when she's not pulling me,
She's someone, yeah my sun, and then some,
Turns her back on me when I'm naked,
Don't like looking,
Says I'm the worst thing she's ever done,
And so is my cooking,
And in the end I watch her think until she speaks again,
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love,
Head in the clouds, she eats me whole,
A face in the crowd, my oversoul,
And I'm spinning out, I lose control,
And I don't care,
And I don't care,
Poison in the coffee that she made for me,
Bullets from her brand new gun, a gift from me,
Head in the clouds, she eats me whole,
A face in the crowd, my oversoul,
And I'm spinning out, I lose control,
And I don't care,
Head in the clouds, she eats me whole,
A face in the crowd, my oversoul
And I'm spinning out, I lose control,
And I don't care,
A bag of years, a cup of tears, lie in a bag
and every line on my face has a tale to tell
for, I have worn this skin I live in and so I will until I'm dying
I've had it good, had it bad, until its over
Stand if you wanna know yourself
stand if your heads with someone else
stand when you feel like making up
stand when you think you've had enough
A set of words, a busy mind lie in a bed
And everyday there is a way I've yet to walk
so many times I took for granted
when love is all I've ever wanted
to come alive, see the sights, stay up late and then its over
Stand if you love the one your with
stand when there's nothing else to give
stand, cos its all you'll ever know
stand, cos there's nowhere left to go
stand if you have something to say
stand when you need a place to stay
stand if you wanna be alone
stand anywhere where you want to
All that I am is all I'll be
When you stand as a woman or a man
Stand anywhere you know you can
stand if you want without a sound
You think that there's something wrong?
Maybe I stayed too long
Or maybe
You're just getting into me
Can't get to sleep again
Spending our lives away
But you don't know what you mean to me do ya?
do you wanna take me over?
Do ya, do ya?
I feel so alive
Feels like I'll live forever
I'm not afraid no more
I'm not afraid no more
I am so now here
Standing in a moment
Her love flows like a river
Until she says it's over
Come in you'll catch a cold
Maybe we're getting old
Or maybe we're just getting into it
When are you coming round?
We're going underground
We don't even know how we're doing it
Do ya?
Do you wanna make me over do ya? do ya?
I feel so alive
Feels like I'll live forever
I'm not afraid no more
I'm not afraid no more
I am so now here
Standing in a moment
Her love flows like a river
Until she says it's over
I've been losing myself here lately
Sorry lately
I feel so alive
I've been losing myself here
Feel alive
I've been losing myself here
So don't, so don't, go don't ever go away
Don't ever go away
So don't, so don't, go, don't ever go away
Come in you'll catch a cold
Maybe we're getting old
Love yourself if you want
Cry a bit
Laugh a lot
Throw a stone
Take a plane
Start again
Give yourself a chance not a nosebleed
Have a course
Meet your friends
Visit space... visit space
Say hello to someone
For the road you need one
Choose a song
So that your heart can sing
Is it how it is?
How you make it?
No one knows everything
And if you're wondering
Do the years fly by too soon?
They do
And if you're wondering
If the skies look down?
It's true,
They do.
They all look out for you.
Make yourself
Cry a dream
Get a job
Learn to drive
Kiss your girl
On the mind
When you can
Find the one you love
Who you walk side by side
You might live in a house
You may fall out
But you might watch your children grow
And if you're wondering
Do the years fly by too soon?
They do
And if you're wondering
Do the skies look down?
It's true
They do.
They all look out for
all look out for you
when you lose your way
when all that you know turn on you
when they let you down
love is a ...to do
when you lose your way
when all that you know turn on you
when they let you down
Won't somebody tell me
Just what's going on
Won't somebody hear me
I can't do right for wrong
Won't somebody help me
I feel I've come undone
There's something going wrong
In my life
My life
She ripping out the heart
Tearing me apart
My life
Can anybody hold me
Make everything alright
Can anybody show me
How to numb the pain inside
Get me through the night
Baby's turned the tide
Of my life
My life
She's ripping out the heart,
Tearing me apart
Pulling out the plug
I'm scarred from where she's cut
My life
(She stole my soul
She cuts me up)
Tearing up the pages
That I'm from
Breaking up the ground
I walk upon
Making my religion
And she can't begin to understand
She cannot see
I'm gonna stand on your parade
I need to jump into your grave
Gonna stalk you I'm afraid
Wanna be your F'ing pain
By the way, you know it's all your fault
Yeah I will get into your head
And everyday out of your bed
I'll buy you roses, paint em red
And then I'll take you shopping
So come and get it,
What the hell you waiting for
What you waiting for
We could run away
We could climb a tree
We could crash a car
Be celebrity
We could rob a bank
We can play guitar
We can shoot a gun
We can go too far
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
All the things that we,
All the things that we could be
If you weren't leaving me
I'll carve your name into my skin
And every place that you have been
Watch you dream while you're asleep
I haven't slept now for a week
So come and get it,
What the hell you waiting for,
What you waiting for
We could run away
We could climb a tree
We could crash a car
Be celebrity
We could rob a bank
We can play guitar
We can shoot a gun
We can go too far
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
All the things that we,
All the things that we could be
If you weren't leaving me
All the things that we,
All the things that we could be,
If you weren't leaving me
Yeah we'll jump from a plane
Then we'll do it again
Ask what life is about
So we'll take a year out
And we'll learn politics,
And some new party tricks
And we'll call our friend John
John
We'll drink in a bar
We'll walk in the park
We'll meet at the end
And again at the start
And we'll look for the light
When the daylight has gone
Then we'll run out of breath
Take the whole world on
Yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah
We could away
We could climb a tree
We could crash a car
Be celebrity
We could rob a bank
We can play guitar
We can shoot a gun
We can go too far
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
All the things that we,
All the things that we could be
The things I'd do for you
1 cry out
2 free a bird
3 get a better job
A 4 letter word
5 is a hi-fi
6 on the beach
24/7 baby,
eight days a week
Come on now,
Get it on now
Come on now
All the things that we could be
I set out to wander
Up lonely man street
Where faith and devotion,
I would hopefully meet
I went there with nothing
Packed as light as I could
And you begged me to stay,
Though you knew,
Baby I'm no good
I'll love you forever
You'll stay in my heart
But all that I wanted
Was doomed from the start
I thought you could save me
Well if anyone could
But I knew that you knew all along
Baby I'm no good
Not once was I faithful,
I cheated and lied
I know that you loved me
But my hands, they were tied
I followed the voices
Like a weak man should
And I guess they were right about me,
Baby I'm no good
In the end when I've fallen
Face down in the rain
And you come back to ask me
What I lost, what I gained
I'd probably answer
I did all that I could
But it wasn't that much I'm afraid,
Baby I'm no good
No it wasn't that much I'm afraid
Four minutes left to go,

Yes the heart of the city is here,
So he tells me,
Sitting on his red leather sofa,
He's rolling another,
Man, I'll see you when I see you,

But love recently chose the right time for Lucy,
Loving when you know it's the final time,
She now holds time in her own mind
Yeah, Jimmies is a local for Michael,

I once asked are you a lonely man,
His reply was non-committal,
I am what I am, man'

If anybody want to know,
I'm fading away, I'm fading away,
If you were the woman,
Crawling over my skin
My eyes are wide open,
Is it any wonder
It's just evolution
Waiting on the corner
Waiting for the number 9 to come, come
Always feeling the crush
I'm looking for
Feels like a rush of blood
And you're
Feeding me something,
I'm on the ceiling
Feeling, feeling,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If you are my karma
Bit of sweet and sour
Feel you put me under
Boyfriend in a coma
Bliss in your pollution
Itching for an answer
Waiting for my sweet divine to come, come
Always feeling the crush
I'm looking for
Feels like a rush of blood
And you're
Feeding me something,
I'm on the ceiling
Feeling, feeling,
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Feeling, feeling,
Yeah
Yeah
Sleep peacefully now my child
I hope that you go away
To a place where your dreams can play
Wipe all the tears from your eyes
There is a sky of blue
This is your time of truth
Like a bird high on the wind
May you fly away
Like a snowfall in the spring
may you cares melt away
CHILD, innocent child
our hope lies inside
your starry eyes
my innocent child
Hero, now that you are free
You have no need to fear
so go out and find your smile
Like a candle in the stream
May you float away
Like a feather on the breeze
May you blow away
Like a candle,
Like a snowfall
Like a feather
like a bird:fly away
Like a candle,
like a snowfall
like a feather
like a bird..fly away
Sleep peacefully now my child
I hope that you go away
Is it true, what they say
did you really lose your way
Up and down i see you stroll
never looking out, to see which way to go
Should i stop to ask you why
Should i stop and take a wander round
with me
To where you always wanted to go
Where you've never been before
a place where you can take off,
your hat, and your coat
I'll make a cup of tea
You can talk, to me
When you wanna leave i'll take you
When you wanna leave i'll take you
When you wanna leave i'll take you home.
Where do you go inside your head
space and emptyness, becomes your flower bed
In your veins a knowledged man
kids are looking up, to find his master plan
When i see your eyes i'll ask you why
Would you like to rest your legs and fly
with me
silver hair, tired feet, walking the world every day
Early morning juices blend he chooses
Bowl of seed and water cleanses
Caffeine free with herbs for tea
Clear and fresh he won't be tempted
High on C he's staring at me
We make us seem far apart
Dead for awhile, resurrects with a smile
Pulls my conscience inside apart
Green man
I'll take a leaf from your book
Found a new love
I say peace man
Green man
I'll take a leaf from your book
Found a new love
I say peace man
Second sight no sense of fright
He lives his life for the moment
He stands like a god an enlightened god
Ruby centres in his crown
Man of wealth loaded with health
A lion with a mother's heart
Magic man with your save Earth plan
Thanks for giving me my part
Green man
I'll take a leaf from your book
Found a new love
I say peace man
Green man
I'll take a leaf from your book
Found a new love
I sa peace man
Our body is a precious thing, treat it with care, treat it as bare
As a snake sheds its skin you've got to shed your past over and over
Again the more that you give the more you'll receive so give your
Sitting at home with my head in my hands
Wondering what the day's gonna bring
Sitting alone with my feet in the sand
Been waiting for a change in direction
Dreaming of days when the night never came
Wishing for a night with no day
Dreaming of a life where the bulb never blows
Wishing to be left in the darkness
Today I know where I'm going
Tomorrow I'll be somewhere else
This morning I'll be a somebody
This evening I'm finding myself
Well are you confused, I guess you would be, so, so am I
Thinking of people calling my name but living life in solitude
Thinking of receiving an OBE, but it was over before I knew
Thinking of kissing a girl in the park but I'd rather be walking my dog
Last night in my dreams
I saw you with another
And when I turned around, you were gone
It all came back to me
Through a postman and this letter
That bought the words, I fell in love with another
How does it feel, when you wake up in the morning
Do you ever think of me lying here
Cause when I go to sleep
you become my pillow,
and I hold you tight, and whisper into your ear
Does he hold you, the way I used to
Does he smile at you from the center of his heart
Does he live for you, would he die for you
if you told him that you wanted him
could he love you, the way I always will
could you ask him to
I ventured out today, I really wish I hadn't
Cause everything I seen and heard made me think of you
I know I have to get over you but at present I'm finding it hard to do
So I beg you please, to take a moment to ask:..
Now I'm a speck on your horizon
A fading light inside your eye
I've come to understand that you were far beyond me
but I'll never understand exactly the reasons why
Taking a walk
Through the valley of a roadside
Taking a walk through the valley of a roadside
on a sunny afternoon
Smoking a smoke
Through the streets of a poppy field
Smoking a smoke through the streets of a poppy field
on a sunny afternoon
I'm travelling down a man made avenue
Theres a stop sign this time I'm going through
Are you with me
on my journey
Are you with me in the search for the sunshine
On a sunny afternoon
Now I'm driving in my car
Down the path of a hillside
On a sunny afternoon
Holding your hand
Down a lane made for lovers
on a sunny afternoon
I'm travelling down a man made avenue
Theres a stop sign this time I'm going through
I'm travelling down a man made avenue
We're still waiting out here for you
we're still waiting come back soon
you said that you'd make things better
but we're still waiting in the queue
The queue of Mr You
Mr You in your pinstripe suit
with your hair slicked back from an oil pack
and your handkerchief in your pocket shaded blue
my friends put their faith in you
so you took their minds and then turned the screw
and now I see them queuing in the queue
The queue of Mr You
Mr You you're looking flash with you're highlife strapped upon your back
and your 52 week holiday per year
champagne corks pop in your ear
the only sound that you choose to hear
mute the voices of the people in the queue
The queue of Mr You
we're still waiting out here for you
we're still waiting in the queue
People are talking
they're starting to walk away
better start watching, coz people are leaving
The queue of Mr You
we're still here, waiting out here for you
we're still waiting, come back soon
you said that you'd make things better
but we're still waiting in the queue
The queue of Mr You
The pope is on the tv
The queen is in the news
The pin is in the oven
Michelle she got the blues
The grape is good for picking
The train it runs on time
My mouth is filling up
And I pour a glass of wine
The loots are on the steakout
The cat is on the prowl
The prize is in the basket
The pictures on the wall
The seed is in the paper
The mouse don't make a sound
The neighbours there are fucking
The sun is going down
And we're all
We're all
Waiting for the girl to call
The clothes are in the washer
The kids are in school
My dad just bought a donkey
The other night was cool
The club is never open
The lights are never green
Beside I think im laughing
Id like to hear you scream
Theres nothing on the tv
Put on the radio
The sun will have a better
I hate the video
My mates are coming over
Theres nothing left to eat
My cat has eaten so much
She cannot see her feet!
But we're all
We're all
Waiting for the girl to call
Theres a party wanna crash this Friday
Heeey Waiting for ya
I killed the bottle
Now my head feels funny
Heeeey Waiting for ya
They gotta start leaving

If I get lucky lady
You'll talk dirty
Waiting for the girl to call
Shake my bones and curl my toes,
Nobody does it better,
Spilt my head up to the core
And wrap me round your finger
Take a look outside
There is nowhere left to hide
We've been swimming in circles for too long
Let us jump out of this bowl
Hear some music play down the radio
Lay an egg inside us all
Turn the light on,
Turn the light on
Let us climb out of this hole
Turn the light on,
Turn the light on
Walk with me
I'll wash your feet
And find you a shoemaker
Meet new people
Dressed like you and me
But not as clever
Come on dive inside
No one knows if we'll survive
We've been stood on this corner for too long
Let us jump out of this bowl
Hear some music play down the radio
Lay an egg inside us all
Turn the light on,
Turn the light on
Let us climb out of this hole
Turn the light on,
Turn the light on
Climb up the stairs,
Look up, don't be scared
It's just the sound of the city on wide screen
We could be fishes in the deep blue sea
Crystal clear as monogamy
Heliotherapy
Turn the light on
Turn the light on
Turn the light on
Let us climb out of this hole
Turn the light on
Turn the light on
Let us climb out of this hole
Turn the light on
Some people change,
Some stay the same,
Someone came into today,
Somewhere someone passed away,
And under a stone,
Just skin and bone,
No one wants to be alone,
When all we have is all we own,
What are all the voices saying?
Where are all you people going?
And if there's a God,
Then why won't he talk to me?
We cry, we learn,
We think about the things we're crying for,
We try, we burn,
And then we try and try again,
When the troubles come,
When we're not so strong
We need to breathe to carry on,
Still looking for pieces of heaven
Cat in a box,
Watching the clocks,
Chase my heart around the block,
Pictures of an astronaut,
And all the above,
Creatures in love,
Making plans then getting off,
Waiting for the rain to stop,
Where do words go when they're spoken?
Why do some minds never open?
And if there's a God,
Then why won't he talk to me?
We cry, we learn,
We think about the things we're crying for,
We try, we burn,
And then we try and try again,
When the troubles come,
When we're not so strong
We need to breathe to carry on,
Still looking for pieces of heaven
Sweet dreams
Go under, over
Slipstream,
Above me
We cry, we learn, we walk
We try, we burn, we talk
We cry, we learn, we walk
We try and we burn
When the troubles come,
When we're not so strong
And we need to breathe to carry on
Still looking for pieces of heaven
Loving comes naturally
Loving comes naturally
As the sun rises above
Shadows are formed
of the two of us
As the bird calls out its song
See flowers dance
with the two of us
as we bare our souls
to the purest form
And let our hearts run free
Loving comes naturally
Loving comes naturally
As the sun hides in the shade
Rain takes its place
Cleanse the two of us
Drink the falls
Feeding the lands, flowing to sea
Just the two of us
As we see our world
From deep inside
And turn our flames up high
Loving comes naturally
Loving comes naturally
Playing outside as the rains coming
Was under the shade of the tree
Was under the shade of that apple tree
Today I feel a change,
in the way you look at me
And all I have to say
is that I like it
Today I feel a change
In your glowing, loving, chestnut eyes
And all that I can say
is that I feel it
You are everything to me
You are everything I need
My love
And so much more than that
My love
And so much more:so much more
Today I hear a change
In your gentle, whispering singing voice
And all I have to say
is keep talking
Today I felt a change
as your hands, they touched the soul of me
And all I have to say
is keep touching
You make this world for me
You are all that I could be
My love
And so much more than that
My love
And so much more:so much more
I never knew
What love was all about,
until I started looking at you
No one ever tried to tell or show me so I finally figured it out for myself,
that what you need:
is someone, who without, you can't breathe
My love
And so much more than that
My love
And so much more:so much more
How I wish, that I could be like you
How I wish, that I could feel like you
How I hope, that I touch you..like you.
My love
And so much more than that
My love

Johnny's a child, we better watch out

Johnny was hard, he was nails, we were not
and when he opened his mouth, then out came the foghorn

Oh dear I'm back here again (now I'm back again, now I'm back again)

Oh dear I'm back here again (now I'm back again)
Looking at me through the eye of a needle
is a scary thing to do
I feel a mole hill lies in front of me to climb
Is your primary purpose in life
to scrutinize every move I make
cos if it is I think your wasting precious time
Well I know that I have got a job to do
And I know, that my job is pleasing you, but
I am what I am
The way god made me
I am what I am
Don't try and change me
Well I know I have my weaknessess
as you point them out to me
but our confont the spots of doubt as they arise
Never born to be a leader
but I'll take my role with pride
cos a soldier with his honours lies inside
Well I know that I have got a job to do
As you say, that my job revolves around you
I am what I am
The way god made me
I am what I am
Don't try and change me
Well I know that I have got a job to do
But my life, wasn't made:for you
I am what I am
The way god made me
I am what I am
Don't try and change me
I am what I am
In a town, there's a house
In the house, there's a bed
In the bed, there's a man on his back
She says she likes it like that
In a room, there's a print of a Klimpt
In a frame staring down off the wall, wall, wall
Is there a God for us all?
Fade to the man on the bed, he said
"Darling, when you come for me, hail Mary
Darling, when you set me free, hail Mary
Darling, when you look my way
You always seem to be the better part of me, hail Mary"
There's a heart in a cage
And the heart like a clock 'til it stops
Sends the blood to his veins
Back on the surface again
In a room, in a room with a view
Of the love that is killing his pain, pain, pain
Into the walls of his sin
He's breaking out as she's breaking in
"Darling, when you come for me, hail Mary
Darling, when you set me free, hail Mary
Darling when you look my way"
"You always seem to be the better part of me
You always seem to be the better part of me
You always seem to be the better part of me, hail Mary"
I'm a man in a room
With a view of the stars hanging over the town
Hell, Mary, where are we now?
I'm looking up, are you looking down?
Darling, when you come for me, hail Mary
Darling, when you set me free, hail Mary
Darling, when you look my way
You always seem to be the better part of me
Darling, when you come for me, hail Mary
Darling, when you set me free, hail Mary
Darling, when you look my way
You always seem to be the better part of me
She likes electro
I dont know much but I pretend to know
I used to breakdance though
Come on!
All at once my head is clear
All at once I find you here
Maybe this is how it is
And everything is in its place
You give me something left to see
A better world
A better me
Break the mould that I am in
Drain the colour from my skin
See I will give up all I have
To fill a moment now with you
Be a thought you wanna keep
Watch your silence whilst you sleep
Yeah I would give up all I have
To hear you say, you will stay
I'd give it all away
I'd give it all
Come on!
Cos I want you to know
That your'e all over me
And I dont want to fall
So I land at your feet.
Oh my God, you're beautiful
And I will bow before you now
Fill me with your company
Bring me down to my knees
Tie me up and leave me here
Hold your music to my ear
Let me look at you again
Let me look and take it in
So I will give up all I can
To watch you light up when you smile
Take your pain and fears away
Hear you say that we're ok
Yeah I will give up all I can
And maybe then you'll feel the same
I give my heart away
Give my heart
Come on!
Cos I want you to know
That you're all over me
And I dont want to fall
so I land at your feet
And the tide's coming in
And I can't put it out
And I dont want to lose
So I land at your feet.
Won't you step on my bones
Won't you let me in
And I'll kiss your palm this time
And hope that you will hear
Dont wait for it
Don't leave
And then
Then my only friend
You give me all you can
You say you'll be my
I was into,
Like a sudden fix from a bowl of sugar,
To you
And all that you were standing for,
Yeah, you knew,
I was so caught up that I could barely move,
To stop you,
From having everything and more
Do you pick me up,
To put me under
Break me in,
So you can choose your ways to put me back again
You can leave a hole like a nail in my head,
You can leave me turned into nothing instead,
You can leave me close to the edge,
You won't ever hear me hit the ground
Are you into,
Have you given up, have we gone to far,
Do you wander,
Or are you staying where we are
I abhor you,
Yet all the while still I adore
Knowing you,
And all that might have been before
Do I say too much, to take you over
Break me in,
So I can choose my ways to put me back again
You can leave a hole like a nail in my head,
You can leave me turned into nothing instead,
You can leave me close to the edge,
You won't ever hear me hit the ground
Cos I'm floored but not broken,
And I'm scarred but I'll heal
Yeah I'm blissfully tortured,
Naked and real
And I'm stung and I'm sorry,
But I'm calm now and clear
Like the sky hanging over,
Like the scratch on my shoulder,
That I no longer feel, feel
I was into
Too close to the edge,
Too close to the edge
You can leave a hole like a nail in my head,
You can leave me turned into nothing instead,
You can leave me close to the edge,
You won't ever hear me,
Ever hear me
If angels fall,
I don't know if I'll be any use at all
Alone we were, inseparable
you lied to me,
I didnt see it come,
And now I'm on my own
for the words that left your mouth were terminal
together we're unsuitable
I pray for thee, I pray for me.
Carry on wasting my time, yeah I'm wasted
if you wanna waste all my time, then I'm wasting away.
Why dont you murder me?
why dont you?
who's gonna run for you? who's gona run for you now?
We're not so strong
I never knew it any better til the fall
a friend I saw, he said today, you think too much,
yeah I'm tryna give it up
and still I cant press play
or find the words when there is nothing left to say
I dont request your sympathy
I thought of you, I think of me.
Carry on wasting my time, yeah I'm wasted
if you wanna waste all my time, then I'm wasting away.
Why dont you murder me?
why dont you?
who's gonna run for you? who's gona run for you now?
wasting away! wasting away! wasting away! wasting away! wasting away!
care for me, care for me, when the angels come (never gonna come.. don't stop)
care for me, care for me, when the angels come (never gonna come.. don't stop)
Ok so now its over
It'll never be the same again
The shade has changed its color
The light is shining through you
Cause its over
Its time for you to face the fact
You've got yourself a whole new track
The problem aint without
Don't hide under your pout
Cause its over
You gotta move on
move up, and move through
You've gotta move out
move up, real soon
Nobody knows the sadness that I'm feeling today
nobody knows
Who said that it was over
Don't let your efforts go to waste
You've done your time of graft
Let go and you'd be daft
It aint over
You've gotta come to terms with it
Don't get left in the has been pit
You've still got seven lives
The trier never dies
it aint over
You gotta move on
move up, and move through
You've gotta move out
move up, real soon
Don't be afraid to take hold of your reins
I'll be the one who brings you coffee when you can't get up
I'll be the one who turns the light out when you go to sleep
I'll be the one who turns your stomach into something else and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say
I'll be the one who takes your coat off, one to take the blame
I'll be the one you call your lover, every now and then
You'll be the one who keeps me sober, one to keep me sane and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say it
And I'd cut my fingers to the bone,
And I'd split my sides in for you
Tonight, we throw ourselves away
And we make it every time
When I thought I was ok
You said I was alright
As the night comes crashing down
We catch ourselves a line
Yeah we're only makin' out
If we make it out alright
I'll be the one who stands beside you in the photograph
I'll be the one that's in your water when you want me there
I'll be the one you're falling over every time you laugh and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say
I'll be the one who keeps you guessing, who swears a lot
I'll be the one that let your colour in the white wash
You'll be the one that knocks the man out I was beating up and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say it
And you cut my face, I told you so
I'd tear my eyes out for you
Tonight, we throw ourselves away
And we make it every time
When I thought I was ok
You said I was alright
As the night comes crashing down
We catch ourselves a line
Yeah we're only makin' out
If we make it out alright
And I'd cut my fingers to the bone,
And I'd split my sides in for you
Tonight, we throw ourselves away
And we make it every time
When I thought I was ok
You said I was alright
As the night comes crashing down
We catch ourselves a line
Yeah we're only makin' out
You just start me up,
Anytime,
I'm a dog, I'm a slag, I'm a disco queen,
You're so on that you make me shine,
And I, I dig your music
Stand out you're a chemical, (come on up)
Sweet Lord, you're a miracle
And your eyes,
Apologise for your wonder,
Apologise for your style,
And you kill with your smile, yeah
You just fuck me up,
Every time
You're a smoke, you're a choke, you're the nicotine,
You're my bloody valentine
And I, I didn't choose it,
Take off you're a radical, (come on up)
Touch down you're a miracle
And your eyes,
Apologise for your wonder,
Apologise for your style,
And you kill with your smile, yeah
And your eyes,
Apologise for your wonder,
Apologise for your style,
You're killing me still with your smile
And I can see me,
Lying on the floor
And you're beating me up,
Trying to bring me back
And I don't know where I'm going
And your eyes,
Apologise for your wonder,
Apologise for your style,
And you kill with your smile
Kill with your smile
And your eyes,
Apologise for your wonder,
Apologise for your style,
Killing me still with your smile,
And you kill with your smile
And you kill with your,
Kill with your,
Kill with your smile
You just start me up
(Stand out you're a chemical)
Any time
(Sweet Lord, you're a miracle)
Stand out you're a chemical
Come on up
Sweet Lord you're a miracle
Come on up
Stand out you're a chemical
Come on up
Could somebody give me an answer
a solution to fill up my space
As I take a peep out of the whole in my window
I see a land that is filled with disgrace
Now is it me, or did it used to seem better?
Now I tear grows in every man's eye
but the tear never once reached the surface
And the tree which I climbed slowly dies
Is that what its all about
Hiding our feelings away
Let the problem be that of another man
I'm living my life in this way
Far away from a troubled face
Is that what its all about?
A cure aint been found for my problem just yet
behind the wrought iron gate, it is there, I bet
but the key got a caught in a fishermans net
With a dolphin the boy wanted for his pet
Well I know I aint getting no younger
pretty soon I guess I'll be extinct
and all that I'll leave to remember
is this problem I once paused to think
Is that what its all about
Hiding our feelings away
Let the problem be that of another man
I'm living my life in this way
Far away from a troubled face
Is that what its all about?
Put it behind you
Turn a blind eye
Though you always know that its here
Living your life through the line of defence
Do you love, yeah
Can you tell me how it feels?
Is your heart running,
So fast it becomes still?
Is it true you breathe in butterflies?
Is it true you blow out stars?
When you love, yeah?
Does your mind open?
Do you see who you are,
When the walls that you build,
Start to fall to the ground,
Why do you never come down?
Boys and girls share crystal champagne kisses
Just to taste the rain
Racing cars and chasing satellites
We crash alone again
How do you love love?
How do you love love?
With your love, yeah
Can you catch your own reflection?
See your shell aching to keep the pearl inside
I have heard about your butterflies
I thought I saw your stars
Are you love when
The ground gives in but you're
Finding yourself in a space
Where it's all that you know
Magnified to your size
Why do you never come down?
Boys and girls share crystal champagne kisses
Just to taste the rain
Racing cars and chasing satellites
We crash alone again
How do you love love?
How do you love love?
Coming on like a wave,
I'll be a slave
For all that you say that
I will be
It is you I adore
It is you I adore
Boys and girls share crystal champagne kisses
Just to taste the rain
Racing cars and chasing satellites
We crash alone again
How do you love love?
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
With you I could get happily wasted
Happily wasted
With you I see the answers
Never had, I imagined,
Such a beautiful situation,
Where everything I ever wanted is here,
Is right here
She is the rock I lean on,
So good it scares me,
She's my condition,
My solution,
My way back every time
When the daylight wakes me in some place
I don't wanna be,
She's my gravity,
When I'm out of position
and nothing is working for me,
She's my gravity
She brings me home,
She's my gravity
All at once,
I'm in stitches,
She makes me laugh so hard I'm crying
I've never felt so animated before,
Oh no,
And when I'm losing myself,
Feel her arms around me
My affirmation, my direction,
My way back every time
When the daylight wakes me in some place
I don't wanna be,
She's my gravity,
When I'm out of position
and nothing is working for me,
She's my gravity
She brings me home
My calling,
My way out,
So all things I'm about,
My best side by design,
So always in my mind
My condition, my solution,
My way back every time
When the daylight wakes me in some place
I don't wanna be,
She's my gravity,
When I'm out of position
and nothing is working for me,
She's my gravity
When the daylight wakes me in some place
I don't wanna be,
She's my gravity,
When I'm out of position
and nothing is working for me,
She's my gravity
She brings me home
She brings me home
She heard a voice from so far away
It told her her mother had gone away
In the next room down the corridor
Her baby started to cry
Her whole life had just fell apart
There was nothing then the hurting started
In her heavy head on her knees she prayed
could somebody help her
Clementine
It was never meant to be this way
It was never meant to be this way
Clementine
It was never meant to be this way
it was never meant to be this way
If only I'd told you yesterday
Got in her car and she sped away
Into the floodlit street down by your way
As the sun rose by the morning dew
Well she returned in such a state
Her baby knew not what was going on
But it could tell from her tears that something was wrong with mum
Desperation let out its final scream
But our clementine didn't hear a damn thing
Into the mirror she stared at herself
Asked is that my life is that what I'm here for
Her reflection chose not to respond
As she froze to the spot like a cold hard statue
Oh oh oh oh oh
There's a friend of mine
Who's wasting all his money
Oh oh oh oh oh
Think he's had his time
Think he's lost his mind
Still a friend of mine
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
could have had it all
from the Albert hall
to the uni-ball
how the mighty fall
but I see them and us in you and me
and what was once before again maybe
cos I believe in the boogie baby
times are changing
everything will come around
we're just moving in circles baby
all or nothing
everything will come around
oh oh oh oh oh
he's a lonely gone
but isn't everybody
oh oh oh oh oh
Please to meet the sun
Pulls himself undone
Life can weigh a ton
But I see them and us in you and me
And what was once before again maybe
Cos I believe in the boogie baby
Times are changing
Everything will come around
We're just moving in circles baby
All or nothing
Everything will come around
I believe in the boogie baby
Times are changing
Everything will come around
We're just moving in circles baby
All or nothing
Everything will come around
(woooowoowooooo)
(oh oh oh oh ...................)
I believe in the boogie baby
times are changing
everything will come around
we're just moving in circles baby
all or nothing
everything will come around
I believe in the boogie baby
times are changing
everything will come around
we're just moving in circles baby
all or nothing
We're all the same now
We're all the same
We're all the same now
We're all the same
In this picture
I'm going to try and get an overview
In this picture
The lines are blurred but my colors are shining through
I start with a canvas
And think about what I want to achieve
From another angle
The paintings gonna make a print of me
Choose the texture
Carot gold, the kind fit for a king
But that aint what I'm about
So I'll take this earth and I'll mix it in
Now my paintings ready to begin
But how big should it be
Big enough for the mantlepiece of every home
Or small enough for my back pocket and me
I start with the heart now
The rest will develop from its beat
As it takes shape
The picture no longer resembles me
It resembles every living thing I've ever seen or heard
From the heart of me to a flying bird
So now how big should this picture be
Should it fill the world or my back pocket and me
In this picture
I"m going to try and get an overview
In this picture
The lines are blurred but my colors are shining through
Everything, everything will be ok
It will be ok
Cos now I know how this picture should be
it should fill the world, but it also should fill me
I listened to your album
And I watched your favourite film,
Hey hey hey,
I missed you today,
I read those early letters
That were filled with early dreams,
Some of them materialised,
Others never seen,
We used to watch the world walking by
The truth is you're not here,
Here I am, I'm screwed up again,
No matter what, which way I turn,
How am I feeling, slowly bleeding here for you,
And spending time with hope
And I don't know why it is,
It's just the way it is
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
I made your favourite dinner,
And I wore the shirts you loved,
Hey hey hey,
Just in case you came
Friends still ask about you,
And I say that you're just fine,
And have you seen the world walking by?
The truth is you're not here,
Here I am, I'm screwed up again,
No matter what, which way I turn,
How am I feeling, slowly bleeding here for you,
And spending time with hope
And I don't know why it is,
It's just the way it is
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
The truth is you're not here,
And I'm screwed up again,
And I don't know the reason why,
I don't know why it is
And did I ever say,
That I just need your love,
And I want you back again,
I want you back again
You said that this isn't yet our time,
So give me time,
To get you back again
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
Its for you that I fall out of bed in the morning,
Still checking the mail as I'm leaving,
Take the ball and start it rolling
Drive yourself on propane
Pull yourself apart mon ami
(If I was your boyfriend)
Put your head down in the fast lane
Come and give me your time frame
Don't just play the part,be free
(If I was your boyfriend)
Liking your body popping
Your lips look good for sticking
Sounds like the world is talking
Yeah I think im into your thing
If you take your love away now
Don't come back for more
If you think you'll get your way now
I'll show you the door
If you say you want to play now
You can take me home
Do you know what time it is now?
3:15
Grab yourself an amplifier
Yeah, you got my number
All the way to Grace and back
(If I was your girlfriend)
Take your best shot at the liquor
Throw a game of poker
Time to make your peace with that
(If I was your girlfriend)
I feel your dinner cooking
Dessert lies in the oven
You know you're good for something
Lord I hope nobody's watching
If you take your love away now
Don't come back for more
If you think you'll get your way now
I'll show you the door
If you say you want to play now
You can take me home
Do you know what time it is now?
3:15
Breathe,
I wanna catch your breath
Catch your breath
I listened to your album, and I watched your favourite film,
hey hey hey I missed you today.
I let those early letters that were filled with early dreams,
some of them materialised, others never seen.
We used to watch the world walking by...
The truth is you're not here, here I am.
I'm screwed up again.
No matter what
which way I turn,
how my feelings slowly
bleeding here for you.
I'm spending time with hope, and I don't know why it is.
It's just the way it is...
(chorus)
What am I to say? What am I to do? What am I alone without you!
What am I to say? What am I to do? What am I alone without you!
I made your favourite dinner, and I wore the shirt you love,
hey hey hey, Just in case you came
Friends still ask about you and
I say that you're just fine
And have you seen the world walking by?
The truth is you're not here, here I am.
I'm screwed up again.
No matter what which way I turn, how my feelings slowly
bleeding here for you.
And spending time with hope, and I don't know why it is.
It's just the way it is...
(chorus)
What am I to say? What am I to do? What am I alone without you!
What am I to say? What am I to do? What am I alone without you!
The truth is you're not here, and I'm screwed up again.
And I don't know the reason why, I don't know why it is.
And did I ever say
That I just need your love.
And I want you back again,
I want you back again!
You said that this isn't yet our time,
so give me time
to get you back again
(chorus)
What am I to say?
What am I to do?
What am I alone without you!
What am I to say?
What am I to do?
What am I alone without you!
It's for you that I fall out of bed
in the morning
Still checking the mail
as I'm leaving
I'm gonna climb inside this peaceful mind, and mind,
Shake it up, drop a bomb, tic toc, stop the clock.
I need to feel alive, reach my sides, go and go,
When there's nothing left I will find it all
Wake me up from the coma-camera of lost time,
Let a bomb break out from the routine life,
Take a gun, set your target, let bullets fly,
Open up, shoot me down, break the sky
You only live if you try
You only live if you try
You only live if you try
You only live if you try
We've been dropped, kicked, set-back, laughed at, body-one
Outside, inside, inside, stay alive,
We're not gonna give any time away,
But tomorrow will never be today,
If you want it, you get it, you have it, you get it,
you're not down with that,
You're bigger than that,
Here comes an afterthought back to pull you down,
Keep it up, push it back, take control,
You only live if you try
You only live if you try
I'm comin' out, I'm comin' out alive
You only live if you try
You only live if you try
Help me out of this console screen I'm in, smash it up,
Let me fly through the windowpane,
On the floor, I feel my legs again,
Through the floor a non-swimmer is diving in.
To the blue, sky blanket that covers you,
We are free, in time to catch the morning break (break, break, break)
When we rise as the human race,
Wind us up, pull us back, watch us go
We only live if we try
We only live if we try
I'm comin' out, I'm comin' out alive
We only live if we try
We only live if we try
Wake the life that sleeps in you,
Wake the walls and let the light come through,
Meet me on the other side,
See the life you want through your own eyes
If you wanna see it
You gotta believe it
And you gotta lick it
Before you can stick it
You know you'll never touch it
Unless you choose to go near it
I love it when you're in my head
I'm in your town
I wanna get in your car
And you can drive me around
And if you use it
You'd better not lose it
And if you're going nowhere
I hope that you get there
I love it when you're in my head
Making your sound
I wanna get in your car
Why won't you drive me around
You're kinda dirty but you're beautiful
You're kinda pretty when you wanna be
You say you love me with a bellyful
Oh oh uh oh oh â you're kinda good for me
If you never sweat it
You're not gonna get it
And if you wanna feel it
You have 2 be near it
If you don't wanna listen
You don't know what you'll be missing
I love it when you're in my head
Hanging around
I wanna get in your car
You can put your foot down
You're kinda dirty but you're beautiful
You're kinda pretty when you wanna be
You say you love me with a bellyful
Oh oh uh oh oh â you're kinda good for me
You gotta me all â in
You gotta me fall â out
You gotta me fall â in
You gotta me tuned â in
You gotta me tuned â out
You gotta me freak â in
You gotta me freak â out
You're kinda dirty but you're beautiful
You're kinda pretty when you wanna be
You say you love me with a bellyful
Oh oh uh oh oh â you're kinda good for me
You're kinda dirty but you're beautiful
You're kinda pretty when you wanna be
You say you love me with a bellyful
Oh oh uh oh oh - you're kinda good for me
I love it when you're in my head
I'm in your town
I wanna get in your car
tonight,
tonight,
can't get enough,
of everything,
that is you.
so where is it,
that your love comes,
please take mine with you.
-chorus-
we could rule the world together,
oh yeah,
say it can be,
it will be,
hallelujah,
us forever.
we could rule the world together,
oh yeah.
tonight,
all night,
we'll lose control,
and see where that,
can take us.
the city sleeps,
the moon it sets,
the spotlight on us.
-chorus-
we could rule the world together,
oh yeah,
say it can be,
it will be,
hallelujah,
us forever.
we could rule the world together,
oh yeah,
say it can be,
it will be,
hallelujah,
us forever now.
so close your eyes,
and when morning comes,
we will swep our love to the waking sun,
and then climb the hill,
that the gods will build,
where we'll step right on,
to a rising star.
we could rule the world,
say it can be,
it will be,
i know it,
believe me.
we could rule the world,
say that it can be,
it will be,
hallelujah,
us forever,
us forever now,
love forever now,
us forever now,
love forever
we could rule the world together,
oh yeah,
oh yeah,
we could rule the world together,
oh yeah,
oh yeah,
My hair's too long but I look like Jesus,
Got my best boots on, nothing rhymes with Jesus,
Oh yeah
Because of the weather,
Don't it make ya feel good?
The sun's come out now and so has Peter,
It's a shame, shame, shame now 'cos Jen loves Peter
Oh yeah
Because of the weather
Don't it make ya feel good?
And I'm happiest in my own mind,
I'm just getting off,
I'm just killing time
It's only the sunshine,
It's only a blue sky,
But don't it make ya feel good?
It's only a G card
Or is it the sweet lord?
But don't it make you feel good?
I tried to be a California dreamer
But I'm way too short and my breaths too real
Oh yeah
Because of the weather
Don't it make ya feel good?
I ain't gonna bore you all with my story
Now's a hey hey DJ he can have the glory
Oh yeahâ¦
Because of the weather
Don't it make ya feel good?
And I'm happy here in my own mind,
I'm just getting off,
I'm just killing time
It's only the sunshine,
It's only a blue sky,
But don't it make ya feel good?
It's only a G card
Or is it the sweet lord?
But don't it make you feel good?
I hope I never let you down
It's like the sun goes around
You can't say it's real,
This is how I feel
Now I guess you've all found a rhyme for Jesus,
Even if you haven't baby he still loves us
Oh yeah
Because of the weather
Don't it make ya feel good?
And I'm happy here in my own mind
I'm just getting off
I'm just killing time
It's only the sunshine
It's only a blue sky (blue sky)
But don't it make you feel good?
It's only a G card,
Or is it the sweet lord?
But don't it make you feel good?
It's only the sunshine
It's only a blue sky (blue sky)
But don't it make you feel good?
It's only a G card,
Or is it the sweet lord?
But don't it make you feel good?
Don't it make you feel good
Don't it make you feel good
Don't it make you feel good
Yeah, jelly baby,
You got your pink stilettos on,
Studs in your vintage denim mini,
All over cosmopolitan
Hey, cherry soda,
With skull and crossbone on your arm,
Poses a face that's made in China,
They dig your pictures in Japan
Oh, my, she has a passion for electric,
Loves 5th avenue,
And blowing bubble chewing gum
Everybody loves her, she's so cool
Everybody wants to be her fool
Everybody knows her name but she's just my Jaywalker,
And I'm a fool for you
Come, jelly baby,
I'll put a diamond on your tongue,
I'll put a stone on your middle finger,
I'll make The Beatles sing our song.
Oh, my, she has a passion for a twinster,
Loves all things yellow,
She's getting high on marshmallows.
Everybody loves her, she's so cool
Everybody wants to be her fool
Everybody knows her name but she's just my Jaywalker,
And I'm a fool for you
Everybody loves her, she's so cool
Everybody wants to be her fool
Everybody knows her name but she's just my Jaywalker,
And I'm a fool for you
Jaywalker
Jaywalker
Jaywalker
Everybody loves her, she's so cool
Everybody wants to be her fool
Everybody knows her name but she's just my Jaywalker
Everybody loves her, she's so cool
Everybody wants to be her fool
My prides gone
My fears have grown
Enter the unknown
Going back again
My head is numb
My only one
Soaking up the hum
Going back again
Would you hold me?
Loneliness beholds me
I still can't be,
I can't be new?
Caught in a hole
Nowhere left to run
Now I have to climb
To get back again
Do you recognise me?
I was the wannabe
I still cant be
I cant be new
Oh my God I tried
Did it hurt inside?
I got left behind
I got left behind
Would you hold me?
Would you hold me?
Would you hold me?
If I were new
Oh lord,
What is it you have in store for me,
Privately been my own company,
I pray to you,
askin' you,
what lies ahead,
what lies ahead.
oh lord,
is there a part in your play for me,
your silence is killin' me peacefully,
i need to know, need to know,
where is the love,
where is the love.
-chorus-
let the falling star,
grace the sky again.
let the broken heart,
be filled with love again.
oh lord,
is there a place in her life for me,
do you think she will remember me,
how we used to be,
i'm askin' you,
trustin' you,
putting my faith in you.
lord,
please find a moment to spare for me,
choose carefully,
i'm comin' on,
twist of tongue,
now i know right from wrong,
make me strong,
hear my song,
hear my song,
be filled with love again.
-chorus-
let the falling star,
grace the sky again.
let the broken heart,
be filled with love again.
can you do this time for me,
i'm askin' you,
i'm askin' you,
trustin' you,
putting my faith in you lord.
so get up again,
get up again,
where is the love,
where is the love.
i can see you climb,
i can see you climb,
i can see you,
i can see you,
see you climb,
so high,
so high,
Gonna build a rocket
Anytime you want it
Paint it pretty colors
Gonna light it up and take us to the moon
That's what I'm gonna do
That's what I'm gonna
Save up all the paper
Gonna need later
Maybe take a minute
To get to my head directions of the way
You want to get away
I'm taking you
Through the eyes of the black hole
And the open doors
Through the cracks in the pavement
In conversation
From the top of the empire
To a state unknown
If i say that I'm leaving
Just got to hang on
'Cause we're just stars
Tryn'a get back to where we're from
One by one, we're gonna leave this planet
So don't look back
'Cause you know that it's all just time,
When you've got nothing on your mind,
You've made it
Somewhere in the future
Talk about forever
Take yourself a picture
Waiting in the rain for a postcard from the sun
The one that never comes
The one that never shows
The one that never-
Is building something
From the heart of the wreckage
In another zone
Are we losing our balance?
I think we've got vertigo
From the top of the empire,
To a state unknown
If i tell you I'm leaving
Just got to hang on
'Cause we're just stars
Tryn'a get back to where we're from
One by one, we're gonna leave this planet
So don't look back
'Cause you know that it's all just time
When you've got nothing on your mind
You've made it
From the top of the empire
I think we've got vertigo
'Cause we're just stars
Tryn'a get back to where we're from
One by one, we're gonna leave this planet
So don't look back
'Cause you know that it's all just time
When you've got nothing on your mind
You've made it
'Cause we're just stars
Tryn'a get back to where we're from
One by one, we're gonna leave this planet
So don't look back
'Cause you know that it's all just time
When you've got nothing on your mind
I heard a whisper in my sleep last night
It held me, like a mother holds her newborn child
Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh,
And in that moment that I held to keep
I asked myself
Why am I afraid of life?
What am I waiting for?
There's so much more that you've never seen before
And your dreams will stay grateful
And what we already know
Open the front door, take a step outside
It's Winter, it's 95 degrees inside
Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh,
When I think of all the things I've missed
I have regret
But hey man that's just part of life
And now I face a brand new day, burning like the sun
The starting line is over, the race already won
Well there's so much more that you've never seen before
And your dreams will stay grateful
And what we already know
And what we already know
Mrs Harper with her bleached blonde hair, and a sweet caress
Is kissing her old man goodbye
(????ing him home from the graveyard shift
Breakfast time as they arrive)
I hear the ringing of a mobile phone unanswered
(And the man from number 56 has a beautiful car)
And a beautiful house lands on the hill
(Where an old man whistles his favourite tune)
While he walks his grandchildren to school (school)
And I remember school
(In my head I see ya)
What a memory....
(Turn around to greet ya)
What a place to be...
(How are you?)
What a memory....
(How are you?)
And I wonder where...
(I'm good, are you?)
Mother's girl has fallen in love
And dad has already told her he has heard enough
He has taken sides of his wife
And he tells his little petal she's too young for life
So she goes to her room and shuts the world outside
Lays down to sink into her private mind, her other life inside
She sings
Secondhand rocking horse
Let me ride high on you
To a secondhand wonderland
Secondhand lover boy
Let me meet up with you
In a secondhand wonderland
Husband's drunk once again
And he rages round the room sign of her real man
She is numb from her pain
But she's too afraid to leave she just hides it in so deep within
And runs to her room and locks the door behind
Cries herself to sleep another lonely night, but in her dreams she sings
Secondhand rocking horse
Let me ride high with you
To a secondhand wonderland
Secondhand wedding day
Let my virgin dance again
In our secondhand wonderland
This hour I feel insecure
Got a bag of plasic worries from the grocery store
Wild dogs stand prepared to savage at my flesh if I appear too scared
So I walk the tightrope line without a safty net
As the rope begins to fray I buy another set,
From the second hand rope store
I sing
Secondhand rocking horse
Let me ride high with you
To a secondhand wonderland
Secondhand wooden horse
Take me far away with you
Gold hearts breaking into pieces
And love your singing hallelujah
Earth won't fall but the mountains gonna shake
Are we dancing in the waves tonight
Speed light shooting in the corners
Far back our simple little minds were
Falling like birds from the open sky
Are we heading for the big fire?
You said, don't, don't
Waste your time on my eyes
Cos they've got broken signs
And holes and tears that hide away
You said please don't ask me for the last word
Silence starts in four swings. We're listening
Cos a body that hurts is a body worth moving
Oooo us and ours
Ohhh it's gonna be a bright day someday afternoon in this whole
House
You said it
Oooo us and ours
Ohhh gonna ride those highs and lows of flesh and bones
The sun will set and we'll all start dreaming
Hopes of the promise that I held, on my tongue lost along the way
It's hard to lose anything that you never had. I loved the time we made
These days getting something out of your faith,
Wrap the words around me
The truth is out in the perfect sentence never to be heard again
You said don't, don't count your blessings
Too much, you make them less inside
And feel until they've gone away
You said hold me, please don't hold too tight
We've still got lots of lines to fill and homes to build
And a body that hurts is a body worth moving
Oooo us and ours
Ohhh it's gonna be a bright day someday afternoon in this whole
House
You said it
Oooo us and ours
Ohhh gonna ride those highs and lows of flesh and bones
The sun will set and we'll all start dreaming
Us and ours (x4)
Oooo us and ours
Ohhh it's gonna be a bright day someday afternoon in this whole
House
You said it
Oooo us and ours
Ohhh gonna ride those highs and lows of flesh and bones
