I was driving across the burning desert
When I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
it was the strings of my guitar
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
The drone of flying engines
Is a song so wild and blue
It scrambles time and seasons if it gets thru to you
Then your life becomes a travelogue
Of picture-post-card-charms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
People will tell you where they've gone
They'll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you never really know
Where some have found their paradise
Other's just come to harm
Oh Amelia, it was just a false alarm
I wish that he was here tonight
It's so hard to obey
His sad request of me to kindly stay away
So this is how I hide the hurt
As the road leads cursed and charmed
I tell Amelia, it was just a false alarm
A ghost of aviation
She was swallowed by the sky
Or by the sea, like me she had a dream to fly
Like Icarus ascending
On beautiful foolish arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
Maybe I've never really loved
I guess that is the truth
I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitude
And looking down on everything
I crashed into his arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel
To shower off the dust
And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
I dreamed of 747s
Over geometric farms
Daddy says "Come and sit on my knee"
Daddy says "You're the only girl for me"
'Cos Amelia, "You're Daddy's favourite girl"
Amelia, "Daddy loves his little girl"
Daddy comes in the dark of night
Daddy say "Don't be scared, it'll be alright"
Amelia, "Daddy hates to see you cry"
Amelia, "You're the apple of Daddy's eye"
Daddy says "Dry your tears and give me a smile"
Daddy says "If you're good I'll hold you awhile"
'Cos Amelia, "You're Daddy's precious girl"
Amelia, "Daddy loves to love his little girl"
"Daddy, tell me Daddy,
Is this really love?"
Daddy says "Don't tell Mama what I did to you"
Daddy says "If you do I'll beat you black and blue"
'Cos Amelia, "You make Daddy feel like a man"
Amelia, "Daddy loves you more than Mummy can"
"Daddy, tell me, Daddy
How can you call this love?"
Amelia
Who've been wounded
Who should wound her
Heart on the grasp
Who but who put on the heart
background:
He, and me, along said we, but burn (x3)
Hounded by the mask, but then...
She's been waiting in the curtains
Waiting for the moment
Killing time
Sitting in the ballroom
Hoping he will notice
Heavenly
She put a spell on me
Heavenly...
Where she gone?
Amelia
She's been caught up in the twilight
Always on the outside
Slowly drowning under water
Drowning from the tears
Of those green eyes
She's pretty flower
Waiting in the wings
Heavenly
She put a spell on me
Heavenly...
Where she gone?
So don't disappear
Shine
So don't disappear
Shine
Don't we all hide sometimes
Don't we all shine in time...
Let me see you
Amelia
There's nothing to fear
Don't disappear
I'd say life's a different story when you're facing certain death
I wonder did they kick back when they knew the game was up
Static on the radio ain't no soundtrack to this end
stick on a bit of Wagner and we'll go down, let's see if we skim
Or maybe there's no time for grand exits and pause
Twisting of propellors, chopping at the froth
And as she turned to Fred she say the fear in his eyes
Whatever was between them was heavy in the last word he said
Amelia
Or maybe they went on to grow oranges and pears
on their own island, Amelia and Fred
She'd dance for him in the evenings, as the red sun fell
he'd sit there smiling up at herthinking this is just swell,
Take me now
Some say she resurfaced as a Tokyo Rose
talking on the radio, telling sweet lies
but remember when the farmer asked have you flown far
she just smiled back at him and said I've come from America
Amelia
Now time has cast its shadow, the story lost its legs
our favourite missing person still rears her head
not on a milk carton, just some bones on a beach
that just might be a tall white girl called Amelia
I'm having a picture
To get me down
Demoniac fictions
Since I left this town
Parabolic addiction
And now I get the crown
Hold on to your seats
We're goin'down
I'm caressing my victims
Elicit what you seek
Still obtaining experience
That put me to the peak
Hold on to your seat
We're goin'down
Let's see what's over the galaxy
I wish you were here with me
And believe in what we will see…
I'm appeasing your wisdom
Of borders you exceed
I'm the creep of conviction
Who's filtrating fallacies
Hold on to your seats
And slowdown
I think about you every single day
And every time I see your face
I wake and it brings me to tears
We hadn't spoken in years
We were close when we were young and naive
We grew up and we learned other things
You'll always be sweet 16
And you will always be perfect
You'll always be beautiful
Our hearts will never forget you
You didn't belong here
And it's become so clear
Why heaven called your name
I miss you and it still feels like I know you
I've got pictures of us side by side to show you
But it feels like I owe you so much more
And you will always be perfect
You'll always be beautiful
Our hearts will never forget you
You didn't belong here
And it's become so clear
Why heaven called your name
And it just doesn't seem right, was it really your time?
Are we dreaming?
We'll never let go of you
Wish you were here but it's becoming clear
That Earth's just not the place for an angel like you
For an angel like you
You meant so much to so many
I'm not quite sure how to do justice to you
If they're ready to say goodbye
I know i'm not
You made the news and the papers for days and days
But it hardly seems fair
The whole world should know your name
I want them to know your name
And you will always be perfect
You'll always be beautiful
Our hearts will never forget you
You didn't belong here
And it's become so clear
Why heaven called your name
And it just doesn't seem right, was it really your time?
Are we dreaming?
We'll never let go of you
Wish you were here but it's becoming clear
That Earth's just not the place for an angel like you
And now we must let you move forward
Our love lies with you
Our souls fly with you
Amelisa, it's May and blossoms 1957, single, but bold
I see you, belle of the ball and
hometown sweetheart, gifted
I want to tell you seize this day,
Let someone else go tend tradition,
Take what's yours
No one else can tell your fire, paint with your words,
sing with your voice,
Take what's yours
Amelia, I see you all in white and lovely, blinded, by love
And he too, is beautiful, and young, and blind
I want to tell you he's the wrong man, you'll look
Back
You were told that this is what you want, but it will hurt you
(You can't live for someone else)
But you live
For me
For me
For me
He would do things to make your life easier
but never talk to you - know you at all
You were his showpiece,
charming as you entertained all his fancies
I wish I could have seized that day and torn it
from your history
(For me)
Now it comes down to a life that might have soared
(for me)
But I can tell your fire, paint with your words,
sing with your voice
Nobody can take what's mine
From me
From me
From me
Sad like a melody sung by a symphony
striking a chord.
Standing here looking blind,
stumble around to find my way thru your door.
Do you wanna know why?
Do you wanna know why?
Hungry as starving fire killing to feed desire.
What do you do?
We’re born into vanity, bones feeling everything.
Are we alone?
Do you wanna know why?
Cuz I wanna know why
Say it, Amelia
Say it’s true,
that life’s worth all the dying we do.
Oh, Amelia
Say it, Amelia
Say it’s true,
that life’s worth all the dying we do.
Oh, Amelia
A beautiful melody sung by a symphony,
Don't pass through this ragged room.
The cold old floor just creeks, and croons,
and aches as mistakes stampede underneath.
The video screens have learned to see...
Its blue eyes blind... spreading disease with
vitamins from plastic tangerines.
Maybe I'm tumbling...
Maybe I role with energy...
that I don't have but need to eat.
We don't swim... we dive for what we need.
This holy place I've come to clean.
You can stare... or wash with me...
It's covered with pretty graffiti.
I scraped the faded paint you wear,
and found the walls you washed with care
for the animals that wandered out in the street.
Maybe I just don't keep...
Maybe they hold you with their teeth
but I know why you feed the weak...
The hunger is permanently me.
Amelia, Amelia... make your mark on mine.
And we'll see what image... forms when they collide.
Daddy says come and sit on my knee Daddy says youre the only girl for me cos amelia, youre daddys favourite girl Amelia, daddy loves his little girl
Daddy comes in the dark of night Daddy say dont be scared, itll be alright Amelia, daddy hates to see you cry Amelia, youre the apple of daddys eye
Daddy says dry your tears and give me a smile Daddy says if youre good Ill hold you awhile cos amelia, youre daddys precious girl Amelia, daddy loves to love his little girl
daddy, tell me daddy, Is this really love?
Daddy says dont tell mama what I do to you Daddy says if you do Ill beat you black and blue cos amelia, you make daddy feel like a man Amelia, daddy loves you more than mummy can
daddy, tell me, daddy, How can you call this love?
the work was hard and wages low
amelia – where you bound to?
now the time to roll and go
across the western ocean
oh amelia – where you bound to?
Chorus
amelia – where you bound to?
amelia – where you bound to?
I’ve been in the army and I’ve worked on the farm
amelia – where you bound to?
all I’ve got to show is the muscle in my arm
across this western ocean
oh amelia – where you bound to?
birds in the air and fishes in the sea
amelia – where you bound to?
a red – haired woman made a mess out of me
across this western ocean
oh amelia – where you bound to?
if I had the wings of noah’s dove
amelia – where you bound to?
i’d fly back home to the one I love
across this western ocean
oh, amelia – where you bound to?
if there’s just one thing that does me pain
amelia – where you bound to?
that’s to never see your fair face again
across this western ocean
Oh 1929, when you left me once before
This time, you’ve been gone so long
I don’t dream about you anymore
You and I had the same black hair
But you took your hair up in the air
Amelia, you’re so theatrical,
You’ve got a flower lodged in your ventricle
I’ll wait for you
I’ll come through for you
All my friends they tell me you will
Never come come back
All my friends they tell me I was
I was just your lark
Oh and I know by now that you’re never coming home
But I lie to myself all day, it’s just easier that way
Cause you and I had the same black hair
But you took your hair up in the air
Amelia, if only I could see
Way before we met that you’re not for me
But I’ll wait for you
We use to laugh on the street light
Got lost on the inside
And that's a nothin' without you
The life that we once had turned so blue
You knock me down in your free fall
So destructive and so cold
These broken bottles and street signs
Just remind me of days we spent round mine
(Chorus)
Saw me open, and now I can see you glow
Calling out through the night, I won't let you go
Right along through the day, till I watch your skies at night
Stars shine for Amelia (Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah)
She's a girl that I once knew (Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Amelia)
And the love goes down so slowly
Time wont change you only
In my dreams you're here tonight (Amelia, Amelia)
(End Chorus)
We'd always find our way somehow
But those days are gone now
These streets mean nothin' without you
'Cause the times that we once had turned so blue
(Chorus)
Amelia, Amelia, Amelia, Amelia
Stars shine for Amelia (Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah)
She's a girl that I once knew (Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Amelia)
And the love goes down so slowly
Time wont change you only
