and now i see that i’ve been here before
back when i asked the sea for more
and i was swept back to the shore
and now it’s clear that all through the years
it isn’t you i’ve feared
but just our vessels coming near
and if my vessel floats will you come aboard?
would you give it all, or just what you can afford?
waves flood our ears
we’ve wandered here for years
and now i see that
my body’s just a vessel
and now i see that
and should i see you at the junction
dearest one, please come home
cause i don’t want to be alone
diving down wishing wells
drowning in ocean swells
falling out of window sills
this must be how dying feels
i keep telling myself that i wish you well
i would love to walk with you
see the sights and the avenue
we can talk and look around
but i don’t want to feel the ground
follow me. i’ll take you to
my favorite tree, where imperials flew
if i disappeared what would you do?
He lives on his own
The TV's on loan
He watches old movies
He lives in a flat
The lino's all cracked
But he's got plans, bingo
He sings like Sinatra
With more feel
Plays with his pocket
Roulette wheel all day
And no one stopped him
He got away
Waited all this time with
All this scratching around
In one place
Made it just in time
All this talk about luck
He's just so
Loaded
He's just so
Loaded down
He gets on a plane
He changes his name
He flies off to Las Vegas
He saved up for years
Cashed in his fears
He always had plans, bingo
He packs up his
White lounge lizard suit
Plenty of hairspray
And a big cigar
And no one stopped him
He got away
Took him forty years
To plan his route of escape
From this place
Made it just in time with
All this talk about luck
He's just so
Loaded
He's just so
Loaded down
The first time he flew
Watched the Vegas skyline
Gently melt into view
All this booze
Swore he just saw Elvis
Playing poker at Dunes
He's just so
Loaded
He's just so
Loaded
He's just so
She's seen one and looks funny
It made her cry, said "Boo" to her
She captured one all hairy
Stuck needles in it's eyes, he cries
He's reading a thin book
It's got no words just pictures
She sent him away, it's good to be king
Came back the same day reconstructed him
You're twisted uh huh uh huh
Twisted uh huh uh huh
Twisted, your insides are twisted, oh ho
Twisted uh huh uh huh
Twisted uh huh uh huh
Twisted, your insides are twisted, oh ho
I said the wrong word so shoot me
As long as you don't constrict me
You all look the same, it's spooky
You say the same things, it's ugly
Twisted uh huh uh huh
Twisted uh huh uh huh
Twisted, your insides are twisted, oh ho
Twisted uh huh uh uh uh
Twisted uh huh uh uh uh
Twisted, your insides are twisted, oh ho
Twist, twist
You're twisted
Throw me your matches 'cos I like to burn stuff
Give me your lighter to keep me amused
Kiss your fingers goodbye bye bye
I'm burning them
Kiss your fingers goodbye bye bye
I'm burning
As a matter of fact they've just turned black
I think you're attractive but in a strange way
It's always exciting when you're around
Kiss your Bentley goodbye bye bye
I'm burning up
Kiss your Bentley goodbye bye bye
I'm burning
As a matter of fact it's just turned black
Bye bye bye
Bye bye bye
Pyromania
So pyrotechnician I think I love you
When will you let me join in your stunts
Kiss your fingers goodbye bye bye
I'm burning them
Kiss your fingers goodbye bye bye
I'm burning
As a matter of fact they've just turned black
Pyromania
Pyromania
Pyromania
So I'll admit that it all started as a scam
'Cos every girl wanted you and a year round tan
We know you're old but you're kind
You're rich and your heart is dicky
Yes I knew that you wanted me
And he said
Hey love how are you fixed
We'll meet at ten past now it's quarter to six
We'll spend the whole night making love on the sofa
It may sound funny but he wasn't supposed to
And then we both settled down to our favourite meal
D'you fancy veal parmesan and a case of warm Chianti
Pass my bag I picked up that bra you fancied
Yes I knew that you wanted me
Oh we knew it couldn't last
And we should have left it long before
One great year and one for luck
And like all good things you soon wanted more
You were always so polite
I think I loved you
And I said
Hey love I'm making it easy on us
I'll leave and a few of our dreams turn to dust
All night making love on your sofa
And it may sound funny but he wasn't supposed to
Summer '92 I remember it clearly
When he choked on the olive in his dry martini
There was dismay from friends he was close to
She's a movie star arrangement
Got a touch of bergman to her face
She wears suits and buys him flowers
Smokes his cigarettes and bakes him cakes
He says uh oh I love you
But I'm not sure I trust you
You seem strange to me
She's got green eyes and she's lovely
Reminds me of the 'it' girl with her lips
Got an automatic license
Reads all dostoievsky's household tips
He says uh oh I love you
But I'm not sure I trust you
You seem strange to me
How come everyone suspects her
Attach her to a lie detector
Watch a thousand housewives fizz and burn
And every time she answers yes
The needles on his polygraph test
Just go round in circles like his brain
She's got long hair but she's ugly
Got a touch of einstein to her brain
She wears fat clothes but she's cunning
People say she's easy all the same
He says uh oh I love you
But I'm not sure I trust you
You seem strange to me
It took a thousand cliches just to scold her
Took a man from stepford and a tape recorder
Got his ego broken so crestfallen
You made a start you made us laugh
Stop it you're a grown man baby
you know that i’d have done it anyways
with or without
you’ve heard that i’ve turned both my shoulders
many times before
and now after all those fading yesterdays
i may do it again
so if it seems a little colder
that’s because it is
make it
then unmake it
just to make it again somewhere else
they’re so fond of you
they’ll drink the water that you tread,
don’t let it go to your head
you’re directionless
you’d only know your right from left
if it would turn a head
and i’ve dined for less
i guess that when your dogs are fed,
they end up in your bed
now go make sure the dogs are fed,
Monday morning, fiction on the tube
Then sorting out the daily mail
Nasty habit, read the horoscope
Pick the skin around
Her nails are shiny, made for making love
Or kissing indiscreetly
At the weekend, miss the drink
That leaves you feeling peaky
Tuesday, lunchtime, itchy in a suit
All dressed up for the pantomime
How d'you know though when you're getting on
Or when you're getting back in?
Line up, strung up, listen to the sound
Of someone else's fun fair
Always racing they'll catch you
When you thought you'd just got somewhere
There's nothing you can do
I'll make it up to you
You're feeling just like them
Tonight we'll find a different world
Or sign a different treaty
Love makes you forgetful so completely
You're always looking, read about the lives
That loiter in non fiction
While you're waiting
and at the other end of life you’ll sit beside yourself,
was there ever someone else?
purposeful thinking?
how long will you spend dreaming,
with your hours on the leave?
it’s what becomes of us
when we live because we must
then we settle with the dust
breathe in words and save time
open minds and close eyes
and at the other end of life i’ll sit beside myself,
and “was there ever someone else?”
purposeful thinking
it’s long that i’ve been dreaming,
with my hours on the leave
what became of us?
have i lived because i must?
will i settle with the dust?
oh i’ll
breathe in words and save time
You're a big man
But you're out of shape
I could help you
Get it back again
We should both go to bed
Till we make each other sore
We should both stay in bed
Till we make each other roar
You're delicious aha
You're delicious aha
You're delicious aha haa
You're a good man
But you're hard to please
You shouldn't worry
Oh it's just my head that's diseased
We should both get away
And explore our darkest dreams
We should both find a place
Where no one can hear our screams
You're delicious aha
You're delicious aha
You're delicious aha haa
You're delicious aha
You're delicious aha
You're delicious aha haa
You're delicious aha
You're delicious aha
You're so dirty aha
Make it dirtier, make it dirtier
You're delicious aha
i don't need you
it's just that i need
something i can care about
to pick me up and wash me down
and wear me out if i want you
it's just that i need something
i can't do without
to lift me up and let me down
and lay me out to gather me
and give some affection
romeo and juliet marilyn monroe
anthony cleopatra jo di maggio
you can say what you like
but i don't think it's so you
go straight through my heart
little one i don't want you
it's just that i need something
i can't live without
so tear me up and break me down
and bare me out if i want you
i recognise a need in me
i can't disguise a brittle thing
that kicks me like a broken knife
that gathers me and gives me a reflection
you can say what you like
but i don't think its so you go straight
to my heart little one
romeo me come see me
i know what you are
prossession is ninety nine tenths of it all
throw me your matches 'cos i like to burn stuff
give me your lighter to keep me amused
kiss your fingers goodbye, bye, bye
i'm burning them
kiss your fingers goodbye, bye, bye
i'm burning
as a matter of fact they've just turned black
i think you're attractive but in a strange way
it's always exciting when you're around
kiss your Bentley goodbye, bye, bye
i'm burning
as a matter of fact they've just turned black
pryomania
so pyrotechnician, i think i love you
when will you let me join in your stunts
kiss your fingers goodbye, bye, bye

pleased to meet you mr morgan
how you feeling today?
isn't it a lovely morning
seen you looking my way
all the flowers in your garden
make a lovely display
who will keep them tidy for you
maybe I should explain
we could build a caravan
from the ocean to the sea
if we really get along
we decided all along
if we really get along
we'll go rollercoasting
pleased to meet you mr morgan
how are you feeling today?
Isn't it a lovely morning
been a while without rain
all we do is we talk about it
say ou know why I came
from the kitchen to the garden
maybe I should explain
we could build a caravan
we could build a caravan
if we really get along
we could build a caravan
from the ocean to the sea
and it wouldn't bother me
no it wouldn't bother me
we'd go rollercoasting
I could take you home
I see a man all alone in the air
I think that man needs a comb for his hair
He fell from the sky on a cold afternoon
Crashed into earth on a dark afternoon
I just haven't felt the same
But then I'm very sentimental
He's not a bird
He's not a plane
This is a man
Poor flying man
I see a man all alone in the air
Nobody asked what he has to declare
Cos he froze coming down
All the way to the ground
He froze coming down
With that look on his face
I just haven't felt the same
But then you know I'm sentimental
He's not a bird
He's not a plane
This is a man
Poor flying man
He's not a bird
What have you heard?
This is a flying man
This is a man who flies
If I had a moment to live
I'd wish I could fly
I'd go to a place that was ever so high
I'd step from a plane into the sky
A second to live, I wish I could ...
He's not a bird
What have you heard
This is a flying man
This is a man who flies
This is a flying man
going straight has never been easy
close my eyes don't look to the left or right
when it hurts you know it's the price
you can't make it
everyday i hide from the sunlight
anyway i got near it on twice
maybe i have never been brave
yes i want to
please please please
you've got to find a place of your own
before they carve your name on a stone
you've got to lift yourself up from the ground
and it's a strage world dragging you down
please please please
all belief the reason escapes me
letting go can't make you feel any worse
all my life i know i was cursed
you can't break it
please please please
you know it's hard for you mother and me
you know it's not what we wanted to be
you've got to life me up to the sky
there's only seconds left till we die
you know it's not what we wanted to be
you know it's hard for your mother and me
and it's a strage world dragging you down
pistol shot and lights at dawn
and one fine day you'll find her gone
all the ghosts they come for me
make her cry a little and cover them up
broken clocks and bathroom tides
but one fine day old mountains rise
cupboard doors and garden gates
and deep inside some glacier waits
and what in the world did i do then?
its only late for a while
its only scent your skin
what in the world do i do to resist?
its only seventy inches and where do i go?
i know nothing is chaniging but its gone
its really gone
i know its not really life till its gone wrong
there must be a reason
all the lives that i forgot
and one fine day you'll find her gone
all the nights they run from me
make her sigh a little and gather them in
and what in the world do i do then?
its only late for a while
its only breath your skin
and what in the world do i do to be strong?
its only seventy inches and where do i go?
i know nothing is changing
but its gone its really gone
i know its not really life till its all gone
and there must be a reason
met a man
a motoway man
he really makes me wonder
slow faced worn and weary
one race left and then
fall over and I see him
every single past me sunlight
on the bonnet so bright
everyone is cracking
slow face on the shoulder
still straight but everything is lacking
floating in and fading out
it seems anyway he waves at me
through the sunbeams
met a man
a motorway man
met a man
he really drags me under
sixteen miles an hour
sixteen miles an hour
baby do you laugh at me
I think you do and you know
that all of us are right behind you
and now I want to go home
but it's too late
how much further to go
before the home
straight wave me by and gently sigh
a smile just starts to break
was it circumstance
or was it merely
that the sky fell down
and made you weary
I told you but you already knew
I will miss you
I will certainly miss you
you look just the same
in all your pictures
still somehow you've changed
a fitting or some fixture
I told you but you already knew
I will miss you
I will certainly miss you
let use pretend that we'll still be friends
you'll stay for a while you all leave in the end
did a thousand stars come out
to greet us now
it's overcast they shake their heads and leave us
maybe I just need somebody who
I will miss you
I will certainly miss you
now I will miss you
Lady love your countryside
Your motorways are very nice
Come and get your aerosols
And help me paint up paradise
Let's get messed up boy, messed up good
Come and suck down meat with me
Until it makes you feverish
I like to watch you eating stuff
Do you kiss your mother with those lips
Let's get messed up boy, messed up good
Climb over here
And we could spend some time drinking and scheming
We'll close our eyes
Until we find ourselves hard to believe in
Face it boy, life is a mess
I want to see you boxing naked to the death
Run and get your cigarettes
They make your lungs all trickley
You shouldn't look at me like that
Unless you want to mess with me
Let's get messed up boy, messed up good
Climb over here
And we can spend some time hacking and wheezing
We'll close our eyes
Until we find ourselves hard to believe in
Face it boy, life is a mess
I want to see you boxing naked to the ...
Come over here
And we could spend some time shopping till it gets
dark
Come over here
And we could spend our lives puking in Belsize
Park
You know, life is a mess
i would like to say that i think “one day,
we will meet again, and things will be the same”
but it’s this life we live, so will you please forgive
my lack of faith, if i’m wrong go on and say so
we were all filled up with a youthful pride
and we took the ocean with us
but most get swallowed up in the tide
they say it’s all in our best interest
when i lose sight i will return to see the redwoods in big sur
and have my vision restored
sometimes things only rearrange
when we thing they have changed
are those who die just those reborn, or is it something more?
all that golden hair
you left yours everywhere
that’s what reminds me, but what reminds you?
don’t forget why you’re here
it’s just a name my dear
we were all filled up with a youthful glow
and we took the winter with us
but most end up buried under the snow
i pray our youthful glows will warm us
when i grow old i will return to wash my body down the creek
and have my soul reborn
(wener)
Got an open mind just for show
Got a one track mind don't I
Got to go got to go but I'm easily lead
Got to go got to go but I'm easily
God I'm lost inside you again
Got an old desire for you
Got to go got to go but I'm easily lead
I'd like to stay and get more bedhead
Higher, higher, higher ooh ah ooh o wow
Higher, higher, higher ooh ah ooh o wow
Yes, yes I think so
Yes, yes I think so
Think I'll try to call you again
Make a nice surprise don't you
Got to go got to go but I'm easily lead
Got to go got to go but I'm easily
Made a note to leave you alone
I'm too drunk to read aren't I
Got to go got to go but I'm easily lead
I'd like to stay and get more bedhead
Higher, higher, higher ooh ah ooh o wow
Higher, higher, higher ooh ah ooh o wow
Yes, yes I think so
Yes, yes I think so
Got to go now, know I must see you soon
We'll get bedhead and stay awake 'til high noon
Yes, yes I think so
Yes, yes I think so
Yes, yes ooh I think so
because of you
I fall asleep for hours
we're made of glue
our bodies crushed and tired
I lie and lie
and now a most peculiar
wave arrives
how it breaks my guard
waits for me
while we slide apart
I know you're taking me nowhere
and now theres nothing else to say
I never was a fan
of the winter
so you'll understand
if I don't stay
we're sick today
turns out we're only hiding
got clean away
so nothing clever finds us
we lie and lie
and all this mess we never talk about
gathers dust and doubt
somebody take the rubbish out
and on what falvour day
did you scramble away
was I lost
or tired or sleeping
didn't I look too great
was it moments too late
when you noticed
your mistake
everyday I know you're
taking me nowhere
and now there's nothing else I can say
I never was a fan of the winter
so you'll understand
if I don't stay
I never was a fan of the winter time
Locked inside of a prison of my own construction
I wish the walls wouldn't run around
So I can't touch them
You think it's amusing
Amuses you so much
You think it's amusing
Do you think it's strange that I took so long to
mess my face up
I'm just so crazed I can't find the space to
wriggle out enough
You think it's amusing
Amuses you so what
You think it's amusing
Ignored me for days just so I'd want you more
Your beautiful face making my eyes feel sore
You're tragically vain
You knew I'd adore you for it
One more day
One more week
I think I've finally found a place where I can
Alice in the playground
She ain't got a boyfriend
Oh, oh, that's a pity
She's not even pretty
Alice hears them whisper
They smile when they see her
Oh, oh, she'll discover
Girls don't hurt each other
Hey, don't kid yourself
Girl love help yourself
Hey, don't kid yourself
Girl love help yourself
I hurt myself
I hurt my Alice in vain
Alice doesn't eat much
Alice don't go out much
Oh, oh, now you're happy
It's too late for Alice
Hey, don't kid yourself
Girl love help yourself
Hey, don't kid yourself
Girl love help yourself
I hurt myself
I hurt my Alice in vain
Alice in vain
I hurt myself (x3)
I hurt my Alice in vain
you got me yeah
you got me yeah
whenever you want me yeah
whenever you want me yeah
you got me
you're not alone you got me
you know whenever you want me yeah
whenever you want me yeah
i'll breath with you leave with you
when everyone else is gone
we'll leave a door open a glass broken
a perfume of rain on an ocean of calm
i'll drink like you think like you
when everyone else is wrong
we'll tear their seams open
a small token lying around
like a bruise on their arms
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
i'll stay with you all day with you
whenever you're incomplete
i'll be a match for you a deep scratch
when your gravity's gone and your full of defeat
i'll lie with you a spy with you
whenever you're on your own
i'll be around for you a clown for you
a cord you can pull
our hero's fallen down again
its not a big surprise
two weeks wages on a suit
a crappy pair of shoes
he's only handsome
in the right light
now what are we going to do
you never really knew
and no one knows where connie goes
she's wearing shiny clothes
paper wrapes and skinny guys and
all her neighnours
eyes say running riot
our hero knows the papers
just need their news
they never really knew
but they decided where you're going to
we're ready for you don't write don't call me
unless you're lying in a traffic accident
unless you're dying in a traffic accident
and somewhere in a whitehall room
who's popping prostitues full
of scotch and falling off
and that persistant cough a cosy number
and all those goons
they're only afraid of truth
they never really knew
that in the end
it would desert them too
we're ready for you
don't write don't call me
unless you're lying in a
traffic accident
unless you're dying in a
traffic accident
are we violent
are we stupid
are we vacant
are we useless
hello work life
farewell parklife
have you come for me
don't write don't call me
or are we giving ourselves away
woke up this morning
and am i giving myself away
they owe you something
unless they're lying
This little creature
Lives in your wardrobe
He's seen you fake it
He's seen you naked
He's been through your pockets
And sucked out your secrets
He stole all your best lines
Seems just like the old times
There
He comes
She swallows
That's no lover
That's a vanity thief
That's no lover
That's a vanity thief
Seen through your good shoes
Rubbed off your red lips
He sits like a fatman
Curled round your thin hips
He messed up your bed sheets
Sucked up your secrets
He stole all your best lines
Seems just like old times
There
He comes
She swallows
clean clean superclean
god knows that's all
you'll be without me
but i'd do anything to have you
yes i'd give anything to have you
clean clean superclean
how come there's
never a mess around you
no spare anywhere
how orderly you are
to talk to
but i'd do anything to have you
and i'll do anything to
make you feel good
clean clean superclean
god knows a jagged edge
would suit you
friends friends
who needs friends
sometimes they're better
off without you
but i'd give anything to have you
and i'd do anything for you
I will make you brave
I won't make you
shave your head
I will make you good
I won't make you change
your hair style
I will make you glad
I will make you mean
something fall asleep on me
and I will make you better
fall asleep on me
i'll put you back together
fall asleep on me
or pull yourself together
clean clean superclean
god knows that's all you
We should spend the night in a small hotel like this
Drinking champagne in it
We could drive your car through the east end streets to the city
And still make a day of it
Take all I have, I've no secrets left to steal
What would you give me for a trip behind your steering wheel
I need high heels just to stand up
Got to carry some stairs to get near enough
I need some wheels to move you around
I've borrowed some tools to chisel you down
Tie me up and I'll confess
A thousand ways that make you statuesque
And it won't last for long better do your worst
While I'll forgive you of anything
Oh, you're so rehearsed, 'cause some wise guy built you pretty
So you'd get away with it
Take all I have, I've no secrets left to steal
What would you give me for a trip behind your steering wheel
I need high heels just to stand up
Got to carry some stairs to get near enough
I need some wheels to move you around
I've borrowed some tools to chisel you down
Tie me up and I'll confess
A thousand ways that make you statuesque
Take all I have, I've no secrets left to steal
What would you give me for a trip behind your steering wheel
I need high heels just to stand up
Got to carry some stairs to get near enough
I need some wheels to move you around
I've borrowed some tools to chisel you down
I need high heels just to stand up
Got to carry some stairs to get near enough
I need some wheels to move you around
I've borrowed some tools to chisel you down with it
Statuesque
But everyone said she was a goddess
they've got a Rolex
telling the same time for everyone
but you wouldn't notice
You'd better just come down
come down
She's a good girl
but no one is giving you the reason
they've got a machine
making you someone for everyone
but you wouldn't notice
you'd better just come down
If you make her happy
make her happy with her
happy with herself
Shall I say it slowly
Make her happy with her
happy with herself
She's a good girl
an alien make up on a green skin
holding her breath in
maybe she's melting
just like everyone
but you wouldn't notice
You'd better just come down
What will make you feel better
what will make you feel glad
did you decide that all by yourself
there's no time for moderation
what will make you feel better
what will make you feel better
through the long nights cover yourself
We step through London
The streets holding on to us
We'll stand where the river bends
I hope we fall in
So this time maybe
Lets take a photograph
We'll burn all the negatives
I hope we fall in
It's never gonna be this good so just climb in
How long till reason makes us small again?
And it feels just like we just got started
It's still you
Taking me under
We turn to be scared
Then decide that we don't care
Wear ourselves out on the way down
It's still you
And the moment you left me you said I was cheap -
You were the sale of the century
Grease ourselves up on the way down
And now I touch you
I don't know where you begin
Sometimes you're a piece of me
I hope we fall in
It's never gonna be this good so just climb in
How long till reason makes us small again
It feels just like we just got started
It's still you
Taking me under
We turn to be scared
Then decide that we don't care
Wear ourselves out on the way down
It's still you
And the moment you left me you said I was cheap
You were the sale of the century
Grease ourselves up on the way down
It's been too long, so it could just be something ate
It feels just like we just got started
It's still you
Taking me under
We turn to be scared
Then decide that we don't care
Wear ourselves out on the way down
It's still you
And the moment you left me you said I was cheap
You were the sale of the century
she's shopping for kicks, got the weekend to get
through
keeping the rain off her Saturday hairdo
she stops for a coffee she smiles at the waiter
he winks at his friends and they laugh at her
later
he's cleaning his car on his pebbledash driveway
new chamois leather he got for his birthday
he reads Harold Robbins he flirts with his
neighbour
ignores her at breakfast he's reading the paper
he dreams of a roller she dreams of a fast
getaway.
he's not a prince he's not a king
she's not a work of art or anything
it makes no sense another year
what kind of A to Z would get you here
he's nothing special, she's not too smart
he studies fashion, she studies art
i though i told you right from the start
you were just my inbetween
just my inbetween
you're such an inbetweener
she went to the dream boys got tickets from Keith
Prowse
she cancelled his lifelong subscription to
Penthouse
she goes round the corner she sees Harry Conway
she says to herself that she'll leave him on
Monday
he dreams of a roller she dreams of a fast getaway
he's not a prince he's not a king
she's not a work of art or anything
it makes no sense another year
what kind of A to Z would get you here
he's nothing special, she's not too smart
he studies fashion, she studies art
i though i told you right from the start
you were just my inbetween
just my inbetween
you're such an inbetweener
now it's much too late to ask me where i've been
She's so small
Tiny and crushed up
54, the size of a child
Long pale hair
Her eyes are all red
She's got skin the colour of bread
He's all bald
Crusty and oozing
Got six arms, lips like a frog
Great big hump
Tiny and hunched up
He can't speak, just barks like a dog
Don't come outside with those freakshow eyes
Don't look at me with those freakshow eyes
I'm not like you at all
Don't touch me, you must be crazy
I don't like the shape that you're in
The way you look reminds me of something
It's all because you're nothing like me
Don't come outside with your freakshow eyes
Don't look at me with those freakshow eyes
Just stay inside I'll be safe
Don't come outside I'll feel safe
Don't visit me with your freakshow
things have been alright up here on the surface
but now i must dive down, before you waste my time
we leave ourselves behind in those we set aside
right now you may not mind, but i think you will in time
we are all bound somewhere,
and i’m bound nowhere that you are
but maybe someday
i will learn to open up my arms
soon i’ll be headed for the hills
while everyone is at the mills
this is to say goodbye, and to tell you why
though i’ll be gone before this reaches you
sprawled out in the open fields
i always knew the sun would heal
i heard them call,
and i knew i had to go before you held me down
it couldn’t rain enough to wash you from my skin
so now i’ll do the best that i can to start over again
time keeps pressing on, won’t be long before i’m gone
somewhere up in the hills where everything still feels
we are all bound somewhere,
and i’m bound nowhere that you are
but maybe someday
i will learn to open up my arms
soon i’ll be headed for the hills
while everyone is at the mills
this is to tell you why, and to say goodbye
though i’ll be gone before this reaches you
sprawled out in the open fields
i always knew the sun would heal
i heard them call,
Eleven o'clock on a motorway it wasn't very nice
still raining, spied a man he looks away
I never liked him much no conversation
skills went on a quiz show once
and nearly won, encyclopaedic
Sunday drive to birthday lunch
had an argument, they're car sick
oh, shiver on to your own front door
so much to get back for
clumsy, clumsy aren't we, dressed in paper and
fears
can't pay attention when you've got glue ears
seven o'clock on a motorway, she isn't going out
she's only
visiting dad who was locked away
now he just recites lines from movies
kid in the back is eating flies
wish his mother didn't dress him funny
she still sighs still dots her eyes
busy drinking gin
in a bar at biloxi
but i've only had four
only had four
benny and the jets
and a waitress called roxy
and she's all you want for
all you want for
cynical me
come on come on
cynical me
she is a firecracker
come on come on
she is a firecracker
and i'm in love
i'm in love
heard you bought a ring
bet the diamonds go rusty
and its only got four
only got four
fifty seven kids
and all of them ugly
and I only want four
only want four
cynical me come
on come on
cynical me
he is a firecracker
come on come on
he is a firecracker
and i'm in love
i'm in love completely
for one time only
i've searched
these green fields
all day long
i'm in love completely
for one time only and on one knows me
like you do
oh cynical me
come on come on
I must be dreaming, live in a small world with dust over it
I've got no feelings, wear thin shoes with glass under them
Click off gone
They made him lie down, keeping the ground warmwhile life drips on it
They turned him right down, collected a life and said goodbye to it
Click off gone
Don't make it anything specil, tucked in with words over it
Click off gone
Luca Brasi's got nothing on you
There's something wrong 'cause I can leave if I want to
You don't stay long but I imagine your real
Invited you for a meal
I must be dreaming, the pictures are gone nowi'mnot sure of it
I've got no feelings. I turned down the sound now there's no more of it
Click off gone
everything is quite
everything is cruel
god you never noticed me
or anything at all
but i breathe
all of us are broken
all of us are stained
all of us are taken down
bought and thrown away
can i breath?
can i breathe at all
who are we tonight?
breathe at all
ooh you maybe right
everything is crazy
everything is still
god you never noticed me
or anything at all
but i breathe
can i breathe?
all the days are drawn
on tracing paper drift
away away they fall
breathe at all
ooh you maybe right
everything is quite
