With grace and style
Verve, guts and guile
The knife slides in, their blood it spills
The public one the royals nil
It's easier to kill with one hit
The knife is here why can't you use it?
Do you want to hear it from me?
With grace and style
Verve, nerve and guile
The gun fires into Di's throat
The public laughs, the royals don't
It's easier to kill with one hit
The gun is here
why don't you shoot it?
Do you want to hear it from me?
Burn Windsor burn
Seize the time all the lies
Grab the glory
When the tide does turn
They'll be first in the line
Nobody ever loved me like she does,
oo, she does, yeh, she does.
And if somebody loved me like she do me,
oo, she do me, yes, she does.
Don't let me down, don't let me down.
Don't let me down, don't let me down.
I'm in love for the first time.
Don't you know it's gonna last.
It's a love that lasts forever,
It's a love that had no past.
Don't let me down, don't let me down.
Don't let me down, don't let me down.
And from the first time that she really done me,
oo, she done me, she done me good.
I guess nobody ever really done me,
oo, she done me, she done me good.
Don't let me down, don't let me down.
You have to do it on your own, I can't aid you any more
And you must learn to breathe alone and all this is yours
Your shoulder's strong, so come lengthen your stride
When you're alone, oh there is light outside
But then I, I don't recall the time we spent
It's hidden in a car that sped to its death and to its rest
You have to do it on your own, I can't help you any more
And you must learn to live alone and all this is yours
And when you dream, I'll be guiding your thoughts
So, go find you world and take what's yours
But then I, I don't recall the time we spent
It's hidden in a car that sped to its death and to its rest
But then I, I don't recall the time we spent
It's hidden in a car that sped to its death and to its rest
So, give up the thoughts that bring you dread and hide them
I can see everything around me
My eyes are as good as the day I was born
And I see you're trying to steer a straight path
I love you, what are you?
Come clean and laugh
With me the home that you never had
Could be here in my arms
The love that you never had
Firm and strong in my hands
Your love for lies is no alibi
Life goes on and so must you
Everything around me
Bright and clear as the day I was born
And I see you trying to keep your nose clean
I love you, what are you?
In dreams I've seen
That the home that you never had
Could be here in my arms
You must see I will not move
Until the love that you never had
Firm and strong in my hands
Your love for lies is no alibi
Love is no more than this
And all from your tatty kiss
Never alive until twenty five
You can have all I know
It's not much but it's all I know
Never alive until twenty five
If you ask me to
I'll say to you I do
I really want to show you I love you
I now know why I was born
My vision is clear
You've killed all my fear
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
The world we now stand astride
Just watch and we'll halt the tides
Never alive until late twenty five
And all the world which hates
Anything delicate
Never alive until twenty five
If you ask me to
I'll say to you I do
I really do want to show you I love you
I now know why I was born
My vision is clear
But there's something in here
Screaming don't let me go
While chimneys seep
My room is dark
The wardrobe sees you sleep
There's nothing here
But rumbles from our street
And I'm left wanting more
I've tried to ask, but
While stooping down
Your mouth began to gasp
"oh, look at that
I think I'd better pass"
So I'm left wanting more
Given time and a cheap dark room
And I will show you
All the love and wonder
You could buy
This town lies calm
The low sun climbs
And if you give me time
I'll take you in my arms
And tend you like a vine
But I'm left wanting more
Your love, it lies
Those hands deny the hatred in your eyes
So turn that down
And give me a reply,
But I'm still left wanting more
All great loves of this world
Are cast asunder, because
Here comes my thunder
Just for one night
I raise a glass to you
I fill her up for you
I'll buy the drinks
And we will sink a few tonight
I'd give my arm for you
I'll even fight for you
I'll buy the drinks
And we will slip into the night
Into the night
Into the night
I'll pile them high for you
Just have your fill will you
I'll buy the drinks
And we will slip into the night
I'll open up for you
Don't sober up will you
I'll buy the drinks
And we will slip into the night
Into the night
Into the night
I'll raise a glass to you
Take on the world with you
I'll buy the drinks
And we will sink a few tonight
I'll pile them high for you
And give my life to you
I'll buy the drinks
And we will slip into the night
We drink until we stink
These are the last words
I'll ever write
Meet me tonight
Meet me tonight
Meet me tonight
This is the last time
I'll ever ring you
I know what you do
I like what you do
I want what you do
I've been saving up
I really need a looker
I've been saving up
I beg you please
Give me what I need
And I will love you for an hour
This is the last time
I'll ever sing
Do your thing
You know what I mean
Do that thing
This is the last time
I'll ever call you
I know what you do
Like what you do
Need what you do
I've been saving up
I really need a looker
I've been saving up
I beg you please
Give me what I need
And I will love you for an hour
Give me what I need
And I will love you for an hour
Give me thirty quid
And I will love you for an hour
Ok we'll call it twentyfive
And I will love you for an hour
I give you what I need
And I will take it for an hour
Look I know it's slightly strange
But I'll still love you for an hour
Give me what I need
When I'm on my own
And I need my home
You can hold every atom
And every limb I own
When I need a friend
Can you be that friend
Will you share every sorrow
For tomorrow is mine?
I can't help myself
The things you did for me
From now on I will have plenty
I can't help myself
I'm in love again
Now the time has come
My work is done
For every warm touch of kindness
You are here to serve me
Shut up
Sit down
Begin, observe me
I see things where I'm alone
So choose your favorite weapon
From the list I have assembled
Do it fast
Then take me slow
A whole lifetime led
With every minute spent
Trying to feel things
No one has ever felt
I can bring bring you solace
On the bureau in my office
I dream of you alone
So choose your favorite weapon
From the list i have assembled
Do me fast
We're living the lifestyle
Young, sassy and nubile
Our future, guaranteed
Our beauty, legendary
There's nothing more we need
We're sorted, sorted.
We get there and we work hard
You're 19 with a gold card
We've no time for the weak
The needy or the meek
We're living to compete
sorted, sorted
All of our time
Is spent towing the line
We party so hard and we work even harder
We'll get what we deserve
For our flair
What d'ya mean we don't care
We party so hard and we work even harder
We'll get what we deserve
Empty out your wallet
Lets see what's inside it
Are you worth the time of day?
You know status equals pay
Where d'ya go on holiday
sorted, sorted.
We've worked our way up
Completely self-made
For as long as there's pay
My honour's in doubt
It was accidental
I swear to God
It was the wrong angle
The blade flashed by
I had to grab it
A lunging mass
It was accidental
The nights seem longer
Tell me what I've done
I know I think
That he deserved it
We all like a drink
But he deserved it
The blade flashed by
I barely saw it
My dreams are scarred
Your face my forfeit
The nights seem longer
Tell me what I've done
Now I know
That the earth from the sky to the ground
Is alive with an aching for love
Look at me
I have tried but good luck is a sound
I've not heard in my life for a while
Don't desert me now
It was accidental
The blade flashed by
There was nothing better
My mind was numb
My guts they led me
This normal night
God, I’ve come here for trouble
I invested all my dreams.
I told them we were lovers
Stitched together at the seams
When you’re dealing with the heartless,
The beautiful but cruel,
Some are born as victors
I’ve been losing since the womb.
Oh I wish that you were evil
So I’d have someone to hate,
But you don’t give me a reason
And you tell me nothing's changed,
So why is this bed cold now?
Where did we go astray?
I thought we had a lifetime.
And all of the words,
That you threw away
You said I was the one.
At least I mean what I say.
I know you’ve not slept,
But you will do some day.
Does he have a name?
Ever been let down?
Do you know what life’s about?
I'm still in love.
Is that my fault?
Have you ever been let down?
When you do go under covers
As I know you shortly will
Will you scream his name out loudly?
Yes, I want the grubby details
Every smell and every push
I hope he loves you like me.
And all of the words,
That you threw away
You said I was the one.
At least I mean what I say.
I know you’ve not slept,
You will do one day.
Does he have a name?
Ever been let down?
Do you know what life’s about?
Still in love,
Is that my fault?
When darkness folds
across this old sky
yes I'll open up
for you that night
but still shodows they come
am i safe in your arms?
can i be your source
of love tonight?
I'll wait for the day
when you creep through the window and hold me
smash into my life now and hole me
don't set me free
ive waited too long, yes im dying
smash into me someone and hold me
speed into this shell now and hold me
hold me, hold me
can you tell me
will i ever dream again?
in your arms
i now know that im home again
im home again (3x)
im drunk for your love
speed into my life
and speak to me now
oh just speak to me someone
for i know your taste
I know you
You're the one with everything
So give me your child's body
Make it small and make it real
If the dress fits
Why can't I wear it
As the scars start to ache
How much more can I take?
What I'd go through
To look like you
Why can't I have it?
I want to be just like you
For a minute would do
Everything here has changed
I'm on my own again
I really do need a friend
Hello, hello, hello
Welcome to the world
The sky looks brighter
I know, I know, I know
We could have more
If only
Hello, hello, hello
At least I'm satisfied
At last I have arrived
We know, we know, we know
We don't want more
You and I
One on one
The offer stands
I still know how to make love,
With love, my love
Hello, hello, hello
Welcome to the fold
The neon's brighter now
We know, we know, we know
We don't want more
You and I
One on one
The offer stands
I still know how to make love,
With love, my love
Me and you
We are due
This world on cue
I still know how to make love,
With love, my love
They said,
You'll never walk again
Invalid until the end
We're giving the world
The kick it requires
If you can't see why
Look into my eyes
I used to think
I had been on the planet too long
No intention to end this dull ache
But with you on my arm,
No, the feeling's not gone
But I'm starting to think that it might
Can you pull me along?
Can you show me the sun?
I'm convinced I can do more than hate
Because with you on my arm,
No, the feelings not gone
Let me invite you in
Look around and feel at home
But let me insist on one thing
Tell me if i'm wrong
They must have put
Something in the water
Cause somethings not in order
And that's why i'm alone
They said love,
Love was my arena
But God you should have seen her
So why is she now gone?
Now that you've seen the house
So clean and well designed
How could a man like me
Get left so far behind?
They must have put
Something in the water
Cause somethings not in order
And that's why i'm alone
They said love,
Love was my arena
And God, you should have seen her
So why is she now gone?
It read "most desirable
A place with modern lines
They said, "you'd a mug to lose it
It is your time to buy."
I know that i'll be calling up the council
The halls of power in my sights
Its my right to know the truth
Let me invite you in
It's soon to be your home
It really has everything
But are you happy on your own?
I know they put
Something in the water
Cause somethings not in order
And that's why i'm alone
They said love, love was my arena
But God, you should have seen her
You can feel every pulse of your blood,
Reminding you the days slip on by, as they should.
But nothing has been done,
You rarely see the sun.
A house barely clean never could,
Bring yourself to rise,
For a life, fantasise,
Of diving in the deep end, the water offers changes.
I can feel every twisted, dead bone,
But I have seen the city,
It's young, their hopes,
The town boys roaring by,
Sometime I wanna die.
Long to live,
Tell me why should I leave,
The comfort of my room, with it's dirt inches deep?
So why do people bother?
I HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER.
Everyone has a place, I know mine,
In bed where I was born, where I'll live, where I'll die.
The longing is long gone,
I'm boredom's latest son
Oh do you cry for a life ever spring?
Winter is a fading, and dim memory.
Go take what you have not,
And leave me here to rot.
I can feel every twisted, dead bone,
I have seen the city,
It's young, their hopes,
The town boys roaring by,
Is there a country
Just for the lonely
A land that gently heals despair
Somewhere in the world.
Somewhere in the world.
Somewhere in the world.
Is there a shoreline for life's lost sailors
Guiding them safely to the sand
Somewhere in the world.
Somewhere in the world.
Somewhere in the world.
Let there be people there
willing to take a man who's crushed, empty and bare
Let there be love to share
What use is love without a heart, from nowhere to where
I had a love once
We danced the high life
Hard times took my love elsewhere
Somewhere in the world
Someones got my girl
Somewhere in the world
Is there a country just for the lonely
A land that gently heals despair
Somewhere in the world.
Somewhere in the world.
Hold on one more day for me
Little child
My little child
I will be your breath and fire
Little child
When the night is past
Little child
My little child
When the sunbeams shine
I'll be here
I've seen what you could become
Little child
My little child
You deserve to love someone
Little child
When the night is gone
Little child
My little child
When the sunbeams smile
Now we've entered
New Britannia
Lord don't tell me
Love won't work
I've seen my face
Of course I know my place
Yes, I started life retarded
Voices told me "take your chances"
So I run through all the things
I've said and done
Is it too late to find someone?
I lie in wait to be undone
By anyone
In bars from perth to Hampstead we crowd
And canonise the stupid
Still proud, the pavements full,
the praise is loud
At last a victim well endowed
With every quality allowed
The truth will out
Some thrive, we try to keep ourselves alive
Strike first, the rich must be deprived
Or Highgate armies will arrive
I've seen the right
Love won't work
We've lost the urge
Love won't work
Now I come first
Love won't work
We've lost the urge
Love won't work
Be careful in life and you'll see
The greedy live off you and me
This is the code, we can't break history
The greedy still fear you and me
So get out of the way
People have to work
Not wallow in the dirt
People want to work
I bet that
This is as good as it gets, yes
How can you ask for more?
"If you're paid you're not poor"
This is as good as it gets, yes
We've been bought, we've been sold
At least we're not old
When red became blue
Hopes denied
Our dreams sweapt away with the tide
So get out of the way
People want to work
Not fester in the dirt
People have to work
I bet that
This is as good as it gets, yes
How can you ask for more?
"If you're paid you're not poor"
This is as good as it gets, yes
We've been bought, we've been sold
At least we're not old
I, I cross the road and I hide
Just to avoid the times
When you sat at my side
So battered by the tide
A wreck exposed at my door
My eyes they cannot lie
So get up from the floor
For you, you've had your time
Your chance has gone
You're not so strong
Your tongue, they cannot harm me now
I cross the road and I hide
Just to avoid the times
When you sat at my side
So battered by the tide
Your chance has gone
You're not so strong
Your tongue, they cannot harm me now
With all the things that I've said
I'm still haunted by you
In every town, in every place, you're waiting
Then on my tongue lies disgrace
I'm still haunted by you
Yes, you, you're in my way
With all the things that I've said
I'm still haunted by you
In every town, in every place, you're waiting
From(incomprehensible)to the grave
I've been haunted by you
Yes, you're in my way
With all the things that I've said
I'm still haunted by you
In every town, in every place, you're waiting
And on my tongue lies disgrace
I'm still haunted by you
Yes, you're in my way
With all the things that I've said
I'm still haunted by you
In every town, in every place, you're waiting
And on my tongue lies disgrace
I'm still haunted by you
I said, I have one single success to my name
So take cover, I am coming out today
There is no turn of phrase, no easy way to say
I'll find my feet and I'll choose my own name
It's hard to be left-handed but smile you're not the only one
I know you've been left stranded, bruised, kicked
Lost your mother's love but take it from me
And take it from me but take it from me
Evil, I've seen your face and I know just
How you feel your Victorian descendant
It's illegal, that my clan just aren't seen as people
On the Isle Of Man, I'll serve my time
It's hard to be left-handed but smile you're not the only one
I know you've been left stranded, bruised, kicked
Lost your mother's love but take it from me
And take it from me, oh take it from me
I will be there tomorrow, I will be there tomorrow
I will be there tomorrow, I will be there tomorrow
I will be there tomorrow, I will be there tomorrow
It's the end of the year
I have just settled here
It may not be much, but it's enough
Yet trouble has sprung from the pubs and the clubs
We'll see blood soon, when the night's through
Still you can have it all, there's a hole in the wall
Get some money and we'll show them
This is our territory, this patch belongs to me
Why don't they understand but I've got a plan?
So come take my hand
And sleep well tonight
Tomorrow we fight, oh, would you like it in town?
As the bass drums boom by
So leave this lay-by, I've this excuse for a town
Oh, now that everybody knows all about me
Oh, I've been rumbled, I've been sold
Born with plenty, you're left all empty
You can have it all, there's a hole in the wall
Get some dough out and and we'll show out
But still trouble comes from the pubs and the clubs
Why can't they understand but I've got a plan?
So come take my hand
And sleep well tonight
Tomorrow we fight, oh, would you like it in town?
As the bass drums boom by
We'll leave this lay-by, this excuse for a town
Oh, now that everybody knows all about me
Oh, I've been rumbled, I've been sold
Born with plenty, you're left all empty
Now sleep well tonight
Tomorrow we fight, oh, would you like it in town?
Oh, as the bass drums boom by
We'll leave this lay-by, this excuse for a town
Oh, now that everybody knows all about me
Oh, I've been rumbled, I've been sold
So freely you curse my glance
This country's not seen
Insults so far advanced
But me, I saw you go alone
It's easy when you're not here
I just say the right words
When you're not here
But me, I saw you go home alone
But still it's you I will defend
Until time's very ends
Oh, I'm at my lowest ebb
So please don't take that tone
If this doesn't feel like home
And you still can't find the phone
It's easy when you're not here
I just think the right words
When you're not here
But me, I saw you go home alone
But still it's you I will defend
Until times when get ends
Oh, I'm at my lowest ebb
So please don't take that tone
If this doesn't feel like home
And you still can't find the phone
And my air is getting thin
And I have good cause to moan
And you still can't find the phone
Onwards to the city
Where new money awaits
Far further from the clatter
Of your past life's mistakes
Oh, I've seen it all before
You found the right cliff top
For saying goodbye
As life swung its elbows
And spat in your eye
Oh, I've seen it all before and more
I know what can happen
When you're honest and true
But it's too late to change now
Your years flew too soon
Oh, I've seen it all before and more
So onwards to the city
Where new money awaits
Far further from the clatter
Of your past life's mistakes
Oh, I've seen it all before
I've been lazy
I've not waited for you
Nature's hasty
And Lord knows so am I
Six months inside
Wandsworth's finest landmark
My patience has died
First guilt, now hate's best son
Every M.P
And all their strong and kind words
"He can't be guilty"
But you and I both know.
Truth, rest your head
There's more than a life at stake here
For me you died tonight.
So don't involve me in your plans
When the chat shows beckon
Your home may be cold
And your heart is gone
To the wind and the rain
But your pain will die
So, tell me when you're sad
My heart is strong, I've had
Enough of life's
Cruel, twisted daze
So, you and I
We'll find our own way
Your eyes may seem old
But I, I see them shine
A-with the sun and the stars
In my heart, they're mine
So, tell me when you're sad
My heart is strong, we've had
Enough of life's
Scarred and twisted daze
So, you and I
The police will never find you
I've got a message here for you
Because you hurt me too much
Your face is my canvas
A Stanley my brush
You won't forget me in a rush
Do you have someone with you
Because you'll never know when
Your face will be paper
A Stanley my pen
You'll never see that girl again
I've been down for too long
But is power so wrong?
The balance is slowly moving
I now know where you belong
Soon you'll be gone
The police will never find you
Here's a note and a forecast
Because you hurt me too much
Those kneecaps look tender
Is a hammer enough
You won't forget me in a rush
I've been down for too long
But is power so wrong?
The balance is slowly shifting
I know where you belong
Soon you'll be gone
The police will never find you
I've been under too long
But my intent is strong
The balance is slowly moving
I know where you reside
I know where you hide
success and time, have done you right
your flowers bloomed into the things that we see
once were well known, you will still need me need me
im the one that you turn to, cling to, kept you awake
when the monsters cry sleep now, darling
you'll wish i'll take
now do i have to beg you, remember, all that has gone
all i ask for is my place in history for all that i have done
then i'll move on
you done nothing wrong, we all move on
ypu had the right to see how, far you could go
but now i'm alone. its time to recognise
there's a debt to repay, i wont get in your way
you will still need me need me
now do i have to beg you, remember, all that has gone
all i ask for is my place in history for all that i have done
then i'll move on
let me move on
im the one that you turn to, cling to, kept you awake
when the monsters cry sleep now, darling
you'll wish i'll take
now do i have to beg you, remember, all that has gone
all i ask for is my place in history for all that i have done
Meet me on the wastelands
Later this day
We'll sit and talk and hold hands maybe
For there's not much else to do
In this drab and colourless place
We'll sit amongst the rubber tyres
Amongst the discarded bric-a-brac
people have no use for
Amongst the smouldering embers of yesterday.
And when or if the sun shines,
Lighting our once beautiful features,
We'll smile, but only for seconds,
For to be caught smiling's to acknowledge life
A brave but useless show of compassion
And that is forbidden in this drab and colourless world
Meet me on the wastelands
the ones behind
The old houses the ones left standing pre-war
The ones overshadowed by those monolith monstrosities
Councils call homes
And there amongst the shit
the dirty linen
The holy Coca-Cola tins
the punctured footballs
the ragged dolls
the rusting bicycles
We'll sit and probably hold hands.
And watch the rain fall
watch it, watch it
Tumble and fall
tumble and falling
Like our lives
like our lives
Just like our lives
We'll talk about the old day
When the wasteland was release
when we could play
And think
without feeling guilty
meet me later
But we'll have to hold hands.
Tumble and fall
tumble and falling
Like our lives
like our lives
As a lad I was weak
I was humble and meek
But I ventured to seek
Something better
For the shoes I desired
The shop staff they required
A full knowledge of style
Won't you serve me
You didn't see the storm arriving
And you weren't prepared for my dark surprises
Oh I've got something stored
Give me the chance
And I'll batter them down
Burn the lot to the ground
Love's so useless
When you're talking about
The shop staff with the clout
Dolce, gabbana or nowt
Open eyed, but afraid
Open wide, on display
All that flesh, all that sand
What's your plan?
Will you wander alone?
Whilst dreaming of home
Cause it's safe and it's sand
What's your plan?
All the people you hate
Its here they congregate
Choose a bond or embrace
It's their place
To give up, or give in
Are you destined to win?
But will you win more
Than you care to give
It's yours for the taking
So go help yourself
To a heart that is waiting
For someone to save it
Open eyed, but afraid
Open wide, on display
All that skin, all that sand
What's your plan?
To give up, or give in
We're all destined to win
But some win more
Than they care to give
Its yours for the taking
So come help yourself
To a heart that is waiting
For someone to save it
Shout from the dance floor
And announce to the world
Tell everybody you've arrived
It's yours for the taking
So go help yourself
To a heart that is aching
For someone to save it
Shout from the dance floor
And announce to the world
I could take you from the real world
I can take you to see the lights
But then you must go home
These are pleasant times
Such lovley times
A clever line in ruining lives
Exclusively for you and me
These are pleasant times,
Such happy times
These are rotten days
Such hostile days
A profitable way an everchanging face
Exclusively for you and me
These are rotten days
Please don't stop me from drinking
It's my only joy
Please don't stop me from smoking
This is my reward
For all the things I have spoken
and all the times I fell
For one taste of the good life
I would kill
When this storm passes
When the clouds starts to break
I will stand in the sunshine
Awaiting my fate
I hope it comes quickly
I hope I feel no pain
Just hold me in those arms again
Please don't stop me from drinking
Oh, It's my only joy
Please don't stop me from smoking
This is my reward
At the Tower of London
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I'm gonna make me a big sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
When I go sleep tonight
It's the last time I'll close my eyes
When I go sleep tonight
Just hold me tight
Stay by my side
Is there something in me?
Inevitability?
I never wanted to be unhappy
Remember me just how you want to
Get me...
Float me away
I will not take another day.
To those I leave behind
Move on my friends don't reason why.
To those I leave behind
I'll always be right by your side
Remember me just how you want to
Get me...
Float me away
I will not take another day.
Just let me rest
Despite all the love you I showed you
Must be a voodoo curse on my name
I don't deserve this kind of pain.
When I go sleep tonight
It's the last time I'll close my eyes
To those I leave behind
Move on my friends don't reason why
Is there something in me?
Inevitability?
I never wanted to be unhappy.
Remember me just how you want to
Get me...
Float me away
I will not take another day.
I'd like to thank you for your love
For I'm a man that needs so much
And so I thank God there's an us.
First time in a long while I'm alive.
I'd like to thank you for your time
You had an easier course to steer
But you chose to end it here
First time in a long while i've been
Feeling, feeling up.
Feeling, feeling up.
All I can do is give my life to you.
Can I thank you for your touch?
For I'm as shallow as they come
And will this magic run and run
First time in a long while i've been
Feeling, feeling up.
Feeling, feeling up.
All I can do is give my life to you.
It's you
For being on my side
Your heart wide as the sea
Someone to hold me, and help me
It's you
For being on my side
Your heart wide as the sea
Someone to hold me, and help me
You.
For pulling me through
I never knew the sky was blue
But thirty years of storm clouds cleared for you.
It's you I came to.
I know that the sea had its eyes on me,
But if dolphins swim, well damn then so can you
For dragging me through
I never knew the sky was blue
But thirty years of storm clouds cleared for you.
It's you I came to.
I know that the sea had its eyes on me,
Don't turn the light off and leave me
This bed feels cold and empty
The ghosts will come and get me
Won't you please stay here I'm scared
So sorry to be trouble
But this room is like a goal
In the arms of love all fail
Won't you please stay here I'm scared
I need you to save me I'm scared
Don't turn the light off and leave me
Without love I am empty
You're the only one who'll have me
So won't you please stay here I'm scared
you said that i should look to the future, i've seen it i'll stay here
i don't know why, i'm tied to the winter, can't find the time to leave
the smallest gentle gesture, keeps the enemy at bay
all i needed was a word where are they now?
the sky seems a little lower, but for that a normal day
do i ask too much, where are they now?
you said that i, take more than i offer, yes this is how i spend my time
you'll come undone, if you dont make the effort,
so seek and ye shall find
so when disaster struck me, no heart left to offend
oh i only wanted friends where are they now?
will you be there forever, say i'll never be without
don't blame me for my doubt
you see i can not stand alone, i'm incapable of breathing
incapable of love
in my world, make me safe take me home
i'm incapable of breathing, incapable of love
you see i can not stand alone, i'm incapable of breathing
incapable of love
oh oh in my world, make me safe take me home
i'm incapable of breathing, incapable of love
you said that i, should stop trying to call you
you've had it up to here
and i konw your sort, but i just cant ignore you
Do you want another lover
Do you tire of me?
Have you had a better offer
Something wild and free?
I hope to god your sure
You want this other more
Than you once wanted me
I have been to see the doctor
He agrees with me
There is nothing that can stop you
But I can't dream
Half buried in a world
Where I love everyone
And everyone loves me
It's not normal but it's mine
And i'll leave in my own time
The one thing you can't steal
Is it over, over
Is this the end of me?
Is it over, over
Dispensable and cheap?
Is it over, over
Is this the end of me?
I have friends that owe me favours
They look out for me
They love me like a brother (only)
If your memorys so strong
How come you got it wrong
On what you promised me
Can you now ignore
How you felt with every pore?
Tell me that wasn't real
Is it over, over
Is this the end of me?
Is it over, over
Dispensable and cheap?
Is it over, over
Is this the end of me?
Is it over, over
I still want you
If I want another lover
I'll get one easily
I'm a local man
Can you tell me how I can
Can I touch you please
I have been blessed
But I've been told to rest
I'll call if you let me
If I have to go, I'm not taking you along
I'm riding out the waves and testing out the hurdles
So long my love
This is goodbye, so long
This is good-bye
I can't decide if she really loves me
My forehead met the pavement
But I've started to come round
I've been cut, spat out and hollowed
Take all you can because soon
With hate my only tool
I'll be after you
And I don't like to lose
I am the voice of your father
The closed door that scares you
Always there
I am bad dreams made real
I won't rest till
Time has swallowed you
Wherever you might stand
You'll fall into my hands
You're not a clever man
You don't stand a chance
I am the voice of your father
The closed door that scares you
Always here
I am bad dreams made real
I won't rest till
Goodbye kind world
I'm sad to leave
For I've been haunting you
For fifteen years
And all I've done
To improve your lives
And yet, you still dared
To let me go
So take your childrens hearts
And lay them on the line
For without my care
They are lost
I've been exposed
I have been let down
For all the love I gave
I'm left alone
So what's it gonna be?
Hold you like a baby
But then comes whiskey every night.
A human punch bag
Easy target
Can nothing stop it?
Every night,
I'm sure he's careful
Not to mark you
He's not that stupid
Remember who you are
More than a lover
There is another life for you.
They're only broken plates
At least it's not your face
That has to be replaced.
And when he talks of faith
It's just a ploy to keep you his
Oh lover, I'm here to tell you
You can do better
And you will soon.
You may not know it,
Your life has started
I'm here to see a flower
Lush and parted
So what's it gonna be?
Christ, come with me
I'll give you safety, baby.
Remember who you are
You're not your mother
There is another life for you.
They're only broken plates
At least it's not your face
That has to be replaced.
And when he talks of faith
It's just a ploy to keep you his
Oh lover, I'm here to tell you
You can do better
And you will soon.
You may not know it,
Your life has started
I'm here to see a flower
Lush and parted
Lover, think what you've been through
I know it's useful
Hate's not a virtue
You may not know it,
Your life has started
It's time to raise and bloom
Now he's departed
Lover, they're only broken plates
Shame it's not his face
That has to be replaced.
And when he talks of faith
Oh I've decided not to try
To understand my life
Grasp the forces that deny
They grapple with my drive
Oh, my heart full of pain
So I follow my groin not my brain
On a night like tonight
I'm walking in the shallows
Take me out, where it's bright
I'm off the straight and narrow
Feel alive. So won't you be my girl?
Walking in the shallows
Close your eyes. Hold me tight. Be alright.
Oh I've decided not to try
To understand my life
Cos the wherefores and the whys
Play havoc with my mind
Oh, my heart full of pain
I follow my groin not my brain
On a night like tonight
I'm walking in the shallows
Take me out, where it's bright
I'm off the straight and narrow
I feel alive. So won't you be my girl?
Walking in the shallows
Close your eyes. Hold me tight. Be alright.
I don't want to think I'm bored of time
Spent wasting words on being kind
Ignoring the best advice at time
You stood applauding as I picked him from the line
This time he'll surely do time
Whilist dreaming a slow motion of the crime in colour
He's laughing as the courtroom fills with cries
Next time he'll surley do time
This is not my crime
But the years have not flown by
And every time I cry
My kith and kin
I have sinned
I didn't hear the siren, or see him giving in
My kith and kin
I have sinned, again
And he said
"London, can you wait
For all the things I have to say
London can you wait".
My kith and kin
I have sinned
The alarm rang loud, the lights were on
I didn't see a thing
My kith and kin
Death just waked in, again
And he said
"London, can you wait
For all the things I need to say
How long can you wait?".
I was having the time of my life.
So why did you have to die?
I'm lost
I was lost in King's Cross
When I saw you
What a neat car
I had no idea where I was
A complete loss.
She said
"It doesn't matter son I'll take care of you."
I was shocked at King's Cross
When you asked me how much I was
I said "Please point me towards Eros
or a bus stop"
She said.
"It doesn't matter son I will guide you through,
If you don't know what to do"
How much for love?
Have I enough for you to show me how?
No I don't want to hear the story of your life
For I've been bruised enough tonight
With every wind I hear you sing
"You will be fine"
With every note stuck in your throat
"This is your time", but
Everyone is just walking away from me
Am I really that nasty
All the dust and dirt affects my skin
Everyone is just turning away from me
Am I really that filthy
It's cold and dark, let me in
I'm in love with this land of plenty
Full of folks that still are friendly
I'v lost my will, still I see some hope
Give me a rope, I'll take it gladly
Find me a tree, make it sturdy
Bye ma!
It's my time to go
I've been waiting a long time
So take me home, driver
Make me more wise
And tell me more about drinking
It's evil ways
And then I will be your friend
So please be my guide
Be my light can you really help me now?
I'm lost and there's no way out
When I was young, oh, my ma
She used to laugh at me and cry
"You'll be lonely when you die
Couldn't change it if you tried"
I've been home for so long now
So take me back will you
To the thrills of town
And tell me more about women
Yes, I had two last night
So can I be your friend now?
I've been waiting a long time
I've been waiting a long time now
A covert operation
In the bedroom of the world
A lowly dedication
To the lonely of the world
In the middle of the night
In the heart of every desperate night
A hunger to feel welcome
Out in the bedrooms of the world
I see the implications
The betrayal and the hurt
But in the middle of the night
In the middle of every desperate night
With the world on its knees
And the British diseased
I'll stumble forward
I will offer my hand
My intensions are grand
Bring your firearms on board
We will give you more
No promise broken
Will be forgotten
I guarantee
Now the cynical few
Rise above me and you
From street to seashore
Do we get what we're due
Can I take my cue
From those still adored?
We will give more
No promise broken
Will be forgotten
No blind devotion
No lies forgiven
There is a world out there.
So full of colour and flair
So sleek and free, not for me.
So tell me what to wear
Some people know I don't care
Rule the west end
Again and again and again and again.
This is a simple request.
Oh do I have to undress?
Tell me when will life start happening for me.
For me.
All I want to be
Is loved enough to make me happy
Can style come free
To little me
I'll throw my friends away
I'll do whatever you say
To get me in
Again and again and again and again.
This is a simple request.
Oh do I have to undress?
Tell me when will life start happening for me.
For me
I know I'm not ugly
Just everyone's more lovely than me
Prada. Gucci. Armani. Armani. Armani. Armani.
This is a simple request
Oh do I have to undress?
Tell me when will life start happening for me.
Honey bee, don't go out alone.
Predators are waiting to spring.
Stifled, bored, at least you're at home.
Oh, no no no.
Honey bee, don't go out alone.
From afar this phone plea I make
I know men, they want your skin
They must have and you they shall take.
Honey bee, don't go out alone.
Honey are you listening?
I'll make you stay at home.
Can't afford the risk
I want us to go on
As a sign of my love
I've a spy in the clubs
So I'll know if you go.
I will know.
Honey bee, don't go on your own.
There are those who'll clip your wings.
Chances are you'll never come home.
Honey bee, don't go out alone.
Honey are you listening?
I'll make you stay at home.
Can't afford the risk
I want us to go on
As a sign of my love
I've a spy in the clubs
So I'll know if you go.
I will know.
I know men.
I know what I'm talking about.
One more drink
Inside and the claws will come out
Darkened hearts will prey
On the simple and free
Like you and me x3
Honey are you listening?
I'll make you stay at home.
Can't afford the risk
I want us to go on
As a sign of my love
I've a spy in the clubs
So I'll know if you go.
