Take your sharp, sharp scissor-hands
And cut me some slack
And I'll spin you in wool,
And pull it over your eyes,
Because I'm charming.
Take a long, long look at me
And give me light,
Cos the flame has expired,
It tired of my many flaws
And went up in smoke.
I can make you feel better,
I can make you feel much, much better than,
I can make you feel better than this, this, this, this.
Glorious.
Make me feel glorious
Once more.
And I won't let you down.
Glorious.
Make me feel glorious
Once more.
Time will only tell.
Take that sharp, sharp tongue of yours
And cut me in two,
I'll attack from both sides
And hide under your skin,
Because I need you.
Don't make me cry, it's bad enough
I made it hell for all of us.
What's it like being glorious?
Glorious.
Can I please be glorious
Like you?
Love it when you let go
Love it when you let go
Love it when you let go
When you let go, let go
How does it feel
To spit out sunny skies?
And do you believe it's for real
That you've always got it right?
When the words you had explode
And you swallow them up whole
No you gotta let go, let go
You'll love it when you let go, let go, let go
It's gonna be a bumpy ride
But it sure beats standing still
I know we can work it out
And I've no doubt that we will
When it hurts more than it shows
It's not the easiest of roads
No, it's never black and white
And you can keep your happy life
Isn't it hard
Making it look so easy?
And you can never drop your guard
'Cause you're afraid of what you'll see
When the words to that affect
Have no effect on you at all
But you gotta let go, let go
You'll love it when you let go, let go, let go
It's gonna be a bumpy ride
But it sure beats standing still
I know we can work it out
And I've no doubt that we will
When it hurts more than it shows
It's not the easiest of roads
No, it's never black and white
And you can keep your happy life
If only you could let go
You'd love it if you let go
Ooh, if only you could let go
If only you could let go, let go, let it go
It's gonna be a bumpy ride
But it sure beats standing still
I know we can work it out
And I've no doubt that we will
When it hurts more than it shows
It's not the easiest of roads
No, it's never black and white
And you can keep your happy life
It's gonna be a bumpy ride
But it sure beats standing still
I know we can work it out
And I've no doubt that we will
When it hurts more than it shows
It's not the easiest of roads
No, it's never black and white
And you can keep your happy life
Love it when you let go
Love it when you let go
If only you could let go
And only you could let go
If only you could let go
If only you could let go
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
We're at a revolution
And we're baying for your blood
We're laying down the law
And your name's mud
You'd like to be a member of the human race
You want to be a good boy
But you couldn't stand the taste
Blame Simon
'Cos he said
You've got two lives down
And one life left
Blame Simon
'Cos he said
You could make it better with a hole in your head, oh
You could make it better with a hole in your head

Catch a revolution
Now your waging war again
Marching on the spot when you should have made amends
Cause you say you fight for us
Cross your heart and hope to die
You're the bully in the playground and we'll hang you out to dry
Blame Simon
Because he said
You've got two lives down
And one life left
Blame Simon
Because he said
You could think better with a hole in your head
You could think better with a hole in your head
If we catch a criminal

There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
When we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers
Cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal
Line them up against a wall and shoot them all
Oh oh oh
If we catch a criminal

There's nothing we can do
Play cops and robbers

There's nothing you or I can do
I saw a fox by the rabbit hole
You saw a prince from a fairy tale
He promised that he'd watch over you
Turned out to be the fox we all knew
If i've got to be true, what chance did you stand.
Tall guy, tall tailed, get out while you can.
Run rabbit run, as fast as you can. Don't look back.
Run rabbit run, as fast as you can. Don't look back.
He'd dance to your beat, and steal your heart
And smile with those teeth and tear you apart.
High on those heels, dance like a brook??
The way you survive, till there's nothing left
Run rabbit run, as fast as you can. Don't look back.
Run rabbit run, as fast as you can. Don't look back.
Ahhh
Run rabbit run, as fast as you can. Don't look back.
Don't look back. Don't look back. Don't look back.
Don't look back. Don't look back.
Run rabbit run, as fast as you can. Don't look back.
Run rabbit run, as fast as you can. Don't look back.
Run rabbit run, as fast as you can. Don't look back.
Don't look back. Don't look back. Don't look back.
Don't look back. Don't look back. Don't look back.
Don't look back. Don't look back. Don't look back.
Don't look, Don't Look, Don't look back.
You got out the wrong side of bed and liked it
The only love you get is unrequited
Morning monday, all week long's not healthy
But being healthy's only for the wealthy
You can't see past the worst case scenario
You'd be happy at this stage if you'd stayed in bed
I pray one day I'll live to see you break a smile
Wallow in your miserable mess as you tend to
You must stood looking unimpressed, do I offend you?

Who said anything about falling in love,
lost my mind when I surrendered everything to find you
are in love,
this is my mistake, 'cos who said anything about
falling in love, in love, in love.
Someone like you, was made to be enjoyed,

you, didn't mean a thing but,
it meant quite a lot to me, meant too much I can see.

I'll pretend I'm doing fine
Blissful sleepless night

Only love, only love will save us now.
Only love will talk me down.
You're my unlikely hero.
I try so hard but you won't surrender,
I want you to know.
I like everybody,
But not everybody likes me.
My love's not an island,
It's the tip of a volcano.
I'm alive, I'm alive, but only just.
I'm alive, no one to trust.

You held tight, but on the contrary,
The trick to life is not to get too attached to it,

Trouble, where have you been all my life?
Always surrender when I should stand-up and fight.
Get out; you shouldn't have come back again.
Regret shouldn't be planned.
I should have learnt to stay clear.

She's got magic in her fingertips
She's turning me on now
Rubbing shoulders but not kissing lips
I'll get her home somehow
She's turning heads like a whiplash
You know she's not to blame
I've got to wonder where you come from, baby
With that name
Sister sister you have all the fun and
I insist you leave some for everyone
I know I know it's a cruel(can't work out what it says here)
Sister sister
Imagination getting fired up
She got the money to burn
I come to see you say you won't mix with me
It's my turn

And I can't watch you do this to yourself

We were the lucky few.
A luck we soon outgrew,
And now instead we drift again.
How I miss Sarajevo.
Oh we were lost at sea,
A pause for thought, the we
Slip beneath the foam and fall
Down to the seabed.
Good times die young,
For the Faraway Kids on the run.
Nowhere to hide.
The Faraway Kids.
The Faraway Kids.
At night, my soul sets sail
In minute detail.
When I wake, I cry. For I
I have lost Sarajevo.
Oh, the charges lacked all proof,
And failed to light the fuse
For the Little Brutes,
But I forsook Sarajevo.
Good times die young,
For the Faraway Kids on the run.
Nowhere to hide.
I can't outrun
The terrible things I have done.
I can't outrun
The Faraway Kids.
Sense never seemed to make sense to me.

I fled to the hills so i could clear my mind.
I couldn't swallow the pills that i was pescribed.
People didn't always like each other Did they?
People din't always get along.
I read the news but it wasn't good,
Because the bad guys won when the good guys should.
Was it i told you that the worlds not flat,
Tell the beautiful source can it be taken as fact.
People didn't always get along though did they?

Joy cause she didn't get you
You'd settle for her
But she wouldn't let you
What did you expect
When you're looking for someone who's perfect
My eyes think I'm searching for ruby blue
So might as well just make do with you
Ooooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
She won't scale the height
That you standards set her
Ruby Blue's in sight

So might as well just make do with you
Ooooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

You could swap your suffocating comforts
And turn your Rubies Blue
My eyes think I'm searching for ruby blue
So might as well just make do with you
Ooooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Put up your barricades
There's money to be made
Continue your charade
Money to be made
What you're asking for means the world to me
You draw close as you whisper precisely
Precisely
Your safety is assured,
Behind those eggshell walls
Of yours
You're safety is assured,
Behind those eggshell walls
Of yours
Friends and family fly by on wings of faith
Faithlessly I don't recognise a face
Not a single face
Take this sorry soul
Made enough of a mess on my own
On my own
Put up your barricades
Meet me tonight
Byt the Mulberry Lake.
I got two legs that they aid they'd break.
Such a silly thing to do, fall in love with you.
Don't be scared,
I got plans of my own.
We may be born here but this isn't out home,
Such a simple thing to do, to run away with you.
They say they'll come for me tonight.
They say they'll come for me tonight.
They say they'll come for me and none of them will
comfort me,
Unless we leave this town tonight.
We're better together,
You and I, we were meant forever.
Don't get hurt by upsetters,
You and I were made to measure.
Don't know how but they're onto us,
My lips were sealed, who betrayed my trust?
Such a silly thing to do, fall in love with you.
I see stars, and there's a pain in my chest.
I fell hard, but you said baby knows best.
My God, what were you thinking of?
We're cut from the same cloth.
If you lied, I'll tear the sky in two.
The blood red moon will hide its face from view.
The sea will boil and froth at the very prospect of me
and you.
I'm taking back this town tonight.
I'm taking back this town tonight.
I'm taking back this town.
Nothing good comes without a fight.
Nothing good comes without a fight.
Nothing good comes without a fight.
She grabs the yellow bottle
She likes the way it hits her lips
She gets to the bottom
It sends her on a trip so right
She might be goin' home with me tonight
She looks like a model
Except she's got a little more ass
Don't even bother
Unless you've got that thing she likes
I hope she's goin' home with me tonight
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I just stop and stare
She's got me love stoned
Man I swear she's bad and she knows
I think that she knows
She shuts the room down
The way she walks and causes a fuss
The baddest in town
She's flawless like some uncut ice
I hope she's goin' home with me tonight
And all she wants is to dance
That's why you'll find her on the floor
But you don't have a chance
Unless you move the way that she likes
That's why she's goin' home with me tonight
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I just stop and stare
She's got me love stoned
Man I swear she's bad and she knows
I think that she knows
Those flashing lights seem to cause a glare
The way they hit her I just stop and stare
She's got me love stoned from everywhere
She's bad and she knows
I think that she knows
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I just stop and stare
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I just stop and stare
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
I think she knows
I need a second opinion,
I want you cross-examined.
Where there's a whill, there's a way,
And there's a will alright.
I close my eyes and count to ten,
And when I open them again,
I want you to pretend that when
You said no, you didn't say a word.
Cos it's easier.
We're lovers in my heart,
We're lovers in my soul,
I disregard what you said,
So close your eyes and watch the stars glow.
I like the face that is hanging
From your pretty little head,
I like the way that it's body
Lies on my bed.
I've not met him but he's handsome,
I'm sure you've made the perfect choice.
I go to tell you I love you,
But I lost my voice and couldn't say a word.
Cos it's easier.
Love flew away,
Love flew away from me,
Love flew away,
I want to live by the sea,
Live by the ocean.
I did my best to fit in,
But I outstayed my welcome.
I change my name and my friends,
Run till the land ends,
But I'm always waiting for me
No matter how hard I pretend.
Somewhere I can be free,
So big it's swallowing me,
Along with everything I used to be.
Dive in before I explode,
Where armies are swallowed.
Some many monsters in you,
Some many monsters in you,
Some many monsters in you,
So many ...
For once in you lifetime will you
Do what you want, not what you have to?
I want to live by the sea,
Live by the ocean.
Though i start over again,
I'll never change where I come from.
Loss of my momentum,
Set me in motion,
My heart and soul were for free,
But nobody would take them.
For once in your lifetime will you
Do what you want, not what you have to?
Follow me only if you want to,
But do what you want, not what you have to.
They caught wind of the weak and tied him to a tree
today.
Paul's father says they're pests destined to just be
strays.
They broke his little back with a little game they
played.
Boys will be boys, isn't that what grown ups say?
I just stood there, silent, rooted to the spot.
Marveling at how brave I'm not.
Don't you see it's already too late for them.
Where are men of action, can't they do something?
The sun was growing faint and slipping from God's hand.
The day refused to wait and rushed to bury it's head into
the sand.
If I could only get up and stand for myself.
I have to join the Little Brutes, sadly I'm not bullet-
I hate my work, but I'm in control
I'm fearless now, but it cost my soul
Save yourselves, the moon is full
Under its power, gravitational pull
Blood red lips, they shake like leaves
You're flesh and blood, but what's underneath?
Don't turn out the lights
Kiss yourself goodnight cause there's a killer
And he's coming after you
Kiss yourself goodnight, tonight
Cause there's a killer and he's coming after you
It's alright to scream
I'm screaming too,
Why'd you think I do these things I do?
For shadows haunted me like ghosts,
So I became what I feared the most
I conduct fear like electricity
A man made monstrosity
Don't turn out the lights
Kiss yourself goodnight cause there's a killer
And he's coming after you
Kiss yourself goodnight, tonight
Cause there's a killer and he's coming after you
Oh oh, oh oh
Don't turn out the lights
Kiss yourself goodnight cause there's a killer
And he's coming after you
Kiss yourself goodnight, tonight
Cause there's a killer and he's coming after you
Don't turn out the lights, kiss yourself goodnight
Cause theres a killer and he's coming after you
Don't turn out the lights, tonight cause there's a killer..
Monday left in the morning
And the week flew by.
You took your leave without warning,
Not even a reason why.
Your lps are locked and you're tongue tied,
I am loud and clear.
Not telling me what I want to hear,
So now it's bye bye. bye bye bye.
Baby won't you giddy up
Before my love runs cold?
And if you make me wait I'll give you up,
Because your love's on hold.
You told me I should be patient,
That I should bide my time.
I can't afford hesitation,
No, so now it's bye bye, bye bye bye.
Your love's on hold.
Your love's on hold.
Hypnotised by mirrors
You should look out your window
Beneath cracked panes of ice
A sky's on fire
Drowned by the screams of decadence
A call to arms
Too busy working out to
Work it out
It's not gonna matter what you chose
It's too late when everything goes
Da ya ya yark
Da ya ya yark
It's creeping up on you
Tt knows your name
All that you left behind
Will never be the same
It's come for all that you hold dear
She starts to cry
And hears a song to break your heart
You're looking in the dark
I can't see
It's getting late
In the night we made mistakes
Da ya ya yark
Da ya ya yark
Da ya ya yark
Da ya ya yark
Would you leave yourself alone?
If everything goes dark
Would you lighten up your town?
Once everything goes dark
Everything goes dark
Everything goes dark
Da ya ya yark
Da ya ya yark
Da ya ya yark
Da ya ha ha
Da ya ha ha
Da ya ha ha
Da ya ha ha
Da ya ha ha
Da ya ha ha
Everything goes dark
Everything goes dark
Everything goes dark
Da ya ya yark
Da ya ya yark
All alone I fought the cause,
Up against the clock that studied me.
It's the life anonymous.
Trusted with the lives of us all,
I failed to see the flaws in the details I adored.
And played God,
I played God,
Played God.
Science lay his heavy head,
On the cold shoulder of consequence,
Rushed where angels dare not tread,
To force the hand of nature, accidents
Failed to see the flaws in the details I adored.
And played God,
I played God,
Played God.
Said: "Oh my God the devil's in the deal.
Oh lord, I just didn't look there."
We looked so long, we looked so hard,
I looked so hard and for so long.
Said: "Oh my God the devil's in the deal.
I tried so long, we looked so hard,
I tried so hard and for so long.
Said: "Oh the devil's in the detail.
I need you to reach me
Teach me how to love
I need you to reach me
Teach me how to love
'Cos I must have got it wrong
If I had love then it's gone
I've been living without it for oh so long
And that's the way it goes
I suppose
Made enough mistakes
Between two of us to sing this thing
We're still clinging on for life
Made enough mistakes
Between two of us to sing this thing
We're still clinging on for life
I need you to reach me
Teach me how to love
I need you to reach me
Teach me how to love
Must have got it wrong
If I had love then it's gone
I've been living without it for oh so long
And that's the way it goes
I suppose
Made enough mistakes
Between two of us to sing this thing
We're still clinging on for life
Made enough mistakes
Between the two of us to sing this thing
We're still clinging on for life
And I must have got it wrong
If I had love then it's gone
I've been living without it for oh so long
And that's the way it goes
When your head but can suppose
And instead of answers
It's full of 'I don't know's
And that's the way it goes
In the morning
I could take the burning sun
I could be the only warning but I'm not the only
So forgive me, Cause its more than I can bear
In demand I make my mind up by deciding not to care
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
I'm the victim, of this day and age
I've forgotten how to feel
I've forgotten how to change
So I surrender, to the apple of my eye
I surrender to the wind, I will let the wind decide
Stop giving me choices (woah oo)
Stop giving me choices (Woah oo)
Stop giving me choices (woah oo)
Stop giving me choices (Woah oo)
I could Break it, I could break it till it hurts
I could take Whatever words you say, Pretend I never
heard
So Forgive me, Shouldn't be so hard
It's they way I'm put together, so your never getting
past
Cant we talk this through
Actions are not what I'm used to
Cant we talk this through
Actions are not what I'm used to
Stop giving me choices (woah oo)
Stop giving me choices (Woah oo)
Stop giving me choices (woah oo)
Stop giving me choices (Woah oo)
(I surrender)
Stop giving me choices (woah oo)
Stop giving me choices (Woah oo)
(Just forgive me)
Stop giving me choices (woah oo)
Stop giving me choices (Woah oo)
Without Friction, We Would float up into space
Maybe you could be the friction that will keep me in my
place
In the morning, I could take the burning sun
People are puppets held together with string
There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him
As he asked me to pray to the God he doesn't believe in
Time and again boys are raised to be men
Impatient they start, fearful at the end
But here was a man mourning tomorrow
He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow
He could not break surface tension
He looked in the wrong place for redemption
Don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to unheave the ties
Turn back the time that drew him
But he couldn't be saved
A sadness runs through him
Through him
Time and again boys are raised to be men
Impatient they start, fearful at the end
But here was a man mourning tomorrow
Who drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow
He could not break surface tension
He looked in the wrong place for redemption
Don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to unheave the ties
Turn back the time that drew him
But he couldn't be saved
A sadness runs through him
Through him
Don't look
Don't look
Don't don't
Don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to unheave the ties
Turn back the time that drew him
But he couldn't be saved
No he couldn't be saved
A sadness runs through him
A sadness runs through him
A sadness runs through him
A sadness runs through him
