I'll take you back in time when we both learned all the rules
The teachers were so blind for the need to tell the truth
Guilty conscience developed slowly
Words of Wisdom, basking glory
Kept in demand by the threatening holy hearing
And you'll never go to heaven
It's a crying shame that the heart breaks
And you've only your self to blame
And you'll never go to heaven
You'll never do it again
Left in the wilds by the long lost search for truth
A written compromise was the best that they could do
Followed a faith mother taught me
Quelled Saturday thought of Sunday
Bright Light it's a magical night
A Ghostly presence in the midnight air
Way over yonder there's a glow in the sky
So I sit back and I stare
It passes overhead and all I can see
Is a silhouette of a nearby tree
Am I the only one throughout the land
Witnessing something so grand
Make believe fantasy
A dream come true behold I say to you
Hang on Yellow Christian
Take the time to notice me
You're always in my heart
I've made it plain to see
A nearing light transposes the sky
God's own garden
People sheltered in their homes and houses
Theives and fools and long ttravelled soldiers
A candid light exposes their homes
Human falter, people bellowed from their homes
And houses, there's fools and long reigning pharoes
Now I've seen all the glittering light
A peaceful warm december night
And I can say to my fellow men
I'm sure they will reappear once again
Hang on Yellow Christian
Take the time to notice me
You're always in my heart
Eight O'Clock on Tuesday Morning I Got it Yesterday
She said she would send a letter I Havn't ate for days
I Should have guessed that it was over She alwasy stayed away
My last hope was in the letters to see what she had to say
I had to pull myself together
I had to be so strong
So I waited for the postman
And it wasn't long
Before I opened up the letter and had to read about number one
Theres a whole New World out there
And I want you to know that
The chains of Love are lifted from today
I miss you as I say
There's a whole new world out there
I had to get in touch with her to see what I could do
My heart missed a beat when she confirmed that it was true
A sudden lonely desperate feeling loomed around my head
Ahe told me of her new friend and how they planned to wed
She had been with him before
When is the baby born so I
Cried for a moment
And then it got through
That if it's happened to me
It could just as easily happen to you
Theres a whole New World out there
And I want you to know that
The chains of Love are lifted from today
I miss you as I say
Frankie doesn't mind if the ladies don't mother him
He got it all worked out
And frankie doesn't mind if he gets up half the way through the night
That's what life's all about
In my life theres been glory and heartache
In my time theres been losing and shame
Do I love you or keep you for keepsake?
Please let me know as we hold hands in the water
Let us all go
Late at night when the air is still and colde,
I hold my heart as it burns through a hole in the wall
And late at night I sit below the willow
And wish I could be underneath your pillow
Wish i could be underneath your pillow
Frankie doesn't mind if the ladies don't want him
He got it all worked out
And Frankie doesn't mind if she runs off with another man
That's what life's all about
Here it comes all this glory and heartache
Here it comes all this crying and blame
I never loved you I kept you for Pete's sake!
I had to let you know we held hands in the water
Let me Go
Late at night when the air is still and colde,
I hold my heart as it burns through a hole in the wall
And late at night I sit below the willow
And wish I could be underneath your pillow
Wish i could be underneath your pillow
Here it comes all this glory and heartache
Here it comes all this crying and blame
I never loved you I kept you for Pete's sake!
I had to let you know we held hands in the water
Let me Go
Late at night when the air is still and colde,
I hold my heart as it burns through a hole in the wall
And late at night I sit below the willow
And wish I could be underneath your pillow
It's Monday, it's raining, in the picture frame is my little girl
And I havn't got a friend in the world no, no, no
She died in the hands of the stone faced evil world
Dry your eyes and stop the baby crying, dry your eyes
Dry your eyes and stop your heart from dying
The passion inside me it burns through the walls
A face cracked and wrinkled
And tears flow wherever I go
And then the Ice melts into water
God only knows the feelings for my daughter
It's Tuesday, I'm still crying, I'm crying out for my little girl
And I haven't got a friend in the world no, no, no
I look at her possesions and Lord how it hurts, how it hurts
Dry your eyes and stop the baby crying, dry your eyes
Dry your eyes and stop your heart from dying
And if Wednesday and Thursday and Friday go through
The mourning has broken my heart is an imprint of you
And then the Ice melts into water
God only knows the feelings for my daughter
Spent the summer dressed in black
Enough to put your back against the wall
Don't you know, Don't you know, you know
There's a woman close at hand
She's with another man and I'm alone
Don't you know, Don't you know, you know
Do you remember our push against the war
You carried me home and then you
Had to watch the story of my own life
And I'm still too young to remember
Don't you know, Don't you know, you know
And I'm still too young to remember
Don't you know, Don't you know, you know
Spent the summer on my own
You give a dog a bone and he'll come running
Don't you know, Don't you know, you know
There's a woman in my head
She should be in my bed and that's not funny
Don't you know, Don't you know, you know
Do you remember our push against the war
You carried me home and then you
Had to watch the story of my own life
And I'm still too young to remember
Don't you know, Don't you know, you know
And I'm still too young to remember
Don't you know, Don't you know, you know
Leaving by the back doorit's the one in which I came
I stroke the tears upon her cheeks and they all look the same
Oh boy, I'm lonesome and I'm half way round the bend
And she blows
And I'm still too young to remember
Don't you know, Don't you know, you know
And I'm still too young to remember
I am in love with you
The feeling that all is true
And the pain it shows, the pain it shows inside
And every little thing I do
Just makes me wish that I could come for you
Lay down and cry on my shoulder
Sarah youre out of your tiny mind
Sister Sarah lost her mind
She grew corrupt they locked her up
And now she's doing time
Sister Sarah's lost her mind
She hopes to go where she will find
Some kind of love
I am in love with you
The feeling that all is true
And the hurt it shows and everything goes inside
And every little thing I prove
Just helps me take that
I can't be with you
Lay down and die
Lay down and cry on my choulder
Sarah your out of your tiny mind
Sister Sarah's lost her mind
They locked her up she drank the cup
And now she's on a high
Sister Sarah's lost her mind
She hopes to go where she will find
Some kind of loving
Sister Sarah's lost her mind
And now she's doing time
Sister Sarah's lost her mind
She hopes to go where she will find
Some kind of love
I was lost now I've found a road to go
I was cold but now I've found someone to call my giver
Out on the grass in the cold
There's a wonderful world that I'm told
Rose Marie, I didn't know what love was at the time
I didn't want to stay and tow the line
I don't like it, but I guess I'm out of style
I don't know it, but I guess that I'm on trial
Won't you let me stay, Rose Marie has gone away
I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't mean it at all
Rose Marie I'll do anything
I'm taking a chance as I walk through the door
I'm asking you what do you take me for?
Rose Marie, I think I know what love is, now's the time
To take evasive action at the crime
Don't like it but I guess that I'm on trial
I don't like it , but I guess I'm out of style
Won't you let me stay? Rose Maire is coming home today
I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't hurt you at all
Where you gonna run before you crawl?
You'll be growing old before you know
Nothing I could do could make your day
It's easier to take off, run away
Won't you let me stay?
Lock the door and throw the key away
I didn't mean to hurt you
I heard a message on the radio
And then the news came over
It said the lady's gonna make a show
And then her mind took over
Moving in circles of glasses and changes
Facing the problems in all of the ranges
We fall to our death with a mixture of races
And then the walls come tumbling down
And everybody's getting higher and higher
And then the moonlight hits the town to make me
Positively Animal
I heard a rumour on the radio
And then the news came over
It said the lady couldn't make the show
And then the show took over
Moving in circles of glasses and changes
Facing the problems in all of the ranges
We fight to the death with a mixture of races
And then the walls come tumbling down
And everybody's getting higher and higher
And then the moonlight hits the town to make me
Positively Animal
I'm talking I'm talking to you
You make me feel so candy
I'm trying to get through
But you make me
Have you ever wondered when the lights go down
If the toys in the store get to get around?
You may think I'm crazy, panicked by fright
I swear by God Almighty, it happened one night
Happened in a store downtown
I got myself locked in, watched and waited anticipated.
And enterprising heros in full flight
And Bat-man swings by the candle light
And supermans laughing at the wonderland zoo
I think I'd rather be this way
I wanna be connected
Plastic Dreamer
Connected
Plastic Dreamer
At the stroke of twleve it all came to life
And He-Man chased the man with his sife
Darth Vader shows he's all dressed in drag
Reveals whats inside I thought he was bad
And the teddy bears parading on the cold stone floor
The rabbits made love as I watched an applauded
Shouted More More MORE
Burning down the zoo - and Kremlin flies around with his spaced out crew
I wanna be connected
Plastic Dreamer
Connected
Plastic Dreamer
Connected, Plastic Dreamer
Connected, Plastic Dreamer
I can see you, I can see you
Plastic dreamer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Plastic Dreamer
I wanna be connected
Mammy, they left me
On my own and I'm lonely
Happened in a store downtown
Don't let the box stop you'll lose me
There's too many holes in my pocket
There's too many joys around
Bottomless pits lie snarling all around
I don't care if you're a man or a woman
We all know where the power lies, it's in the
Bottomless pits of thunder behind blue skies
They sing it from New York to Paris from Peking to Rome
Hold me I'm out on my own
They sing it together they sing it alone
America, America, people of America, People of
America, America, America
The news says we shouldn't be loving
There's too many babies in town
Bottomless pits lie sentance to the crowds
I may seem like I got it together
But I know that I'm destined to die a prisoner of the
Bottomless pits that smile at me with blue eyes
They sing it from New York to Paris from Peking to Rome
Hold me I'm out on my own
They sing it together they sing it alone
America, America, people of America, People of
America, America, America
People always shout at the government man
It's the same wherever I go
But the feeling is on that nothing is wrong
With the people of America
America, America, people of America, People of
It's a good morning - drag my head up from the eider feathers
Put on my radio and morning robe - caesar for the day
It's a good morning - lay the table French cuisine, morning roll and paper
I'm reading today what's yesterday and heading for the back pages
Outside, Sunny fields and apple trees. The dragon flies and the bumble bees
The cherry skies and happy season Laughing birds have reason - cos it's
A beautiful day and my eyes disbieleve what they're seeing.
Before I know it I'm walking the dog - past the butcher's past the store
Isn't it ridiculous is the theme of the day, madma De Grabo buys imported furs
You know and the grocer bows his pink skinny head in every town there's a man
In a wheelchair in every town there's an optical illusion
Out of my head what the hells's going on? Watching - Turning the road that lies
Before me is the key to my day, I'm out on hte road and no one can stop me. into
The saftey of my car where no one can break me - Motorway - Motorway
Out in the car park the bodies are mounting bets are amassing, the money's being
Counted the children are playing. The adults confiding Now crack the champagne
What's the year? Sounds like 1924 down here, In the good old Summertime. I broke
my heart downb here in the good old major's home - Da da da da - da da da da
Crack the Champagne, shed a tear, feels like 1924 this year, in the great british
Summertime. I lost my love down here, in the good old major's home
The scottish have invaded our lands again - delving inside, take a piece of turf home
To show their wives, Bring in the army - Not of the tartan kind Give them all a prize
6 to 4 is on the run, The odds are on. Stephen Cauthen jumped the gun now he's gone
Willy Carson - done for arson, for burning up the track, the odds are worng
It's been a good day and at last - I'm on my way. To keep my heart warm.
I walked right out of it, couldn't give a damn
I'd rather go hungry
I watched a generation wash it's hands of war
Then sleep in it's laundry
Wonders of the world and there's eight in all cos
It's a wonder that the wonders have such wonder at all
Fat men in business with will to succeed
Mouth off their stories of children in need, I call it
Murder, When your life is on the line
Murder, Why don't you take this hand of mine
Murder, to all the ladies giving birth
Murder, it's the murder of the planet earth
Here we go again
I walked right out of it, couldn't give a damn
I'd rather sit crying
I've seen the lords and ladies pulling all the scams
They won't escape dying
Wonders of the world and there's eight in all cos
It's a wonder that the wonders have such wonder at all
Fat men in business with will to succeed
Mouth off their stories of children in need, I call it
New generations will die at their births cos
It still isn't trendy to be a friend of the earth
Murder, When your life is on the line
Murder, Why don't you take this hand of mine
Murder, to all the ladies giving birth
Murder, it's the murder of the planet earth
Here we go again
And all teh hills will die, Flattened by the stench of mankind
Animals in the parks forced to smile by the sickening syringes
Of genocide, bluebirds wrything in agony die struck down by
Missiles of the anti kind, as the reaper announces his coming as
Heart of mine, Sewing Frenzies of steel to the sky
By night, A child in a harvest of virginal mines
Mother say a prayer for your soldier blue
I'm doing it all for you
It's the chill of the night
That threatens me. It makes me wish that I was back with you
And Meanwhile home It strokes it's foster child
We leave our home and run to save our lives
Where you gonna hide at midnight
Are you gonna ask the moonlight
Where you gonna hide at midnight
Living on the edge of my nerves
Heart of mine
Vacant Structures impaled on the wires
Ther's no smoke without fire
It's a fuel called the making of Empires
Mother say me another I'm your soldier blue
Take no prisoners
I'm doing all my praying to the north star
Help me, The Meaningless Tunes
I close my eyes and wish myself to you
And meanwhile home, explodes before our eyes
We leave our home and rise to the heavens high
Where you gonna hide at midnight
Are you gonna ask the moonlight
Where you gonna hide at midnight
Living on the edge of my nerves
You got a friend in me for life now
You got a friend in me so please please
Take me to a different way
Living on the edge of my nerves
Where you gonna hide at midnight
Are you gonna ask the moonlight
Where you gonna hide at midnight
Somethings got a hold of me I don't know what it is
I keep breaking the law
Somethings got a hold of me I don't know what it is
The man in the glasses don't think so
And so we kill time getting frayed
And rusty round the borders
Still life heaven made with women and wine
Kill time telling tales of life before disorder
It's me that keeps talking it's me that feels so fine
So fine, So fine, so fine, so fine
I feel so fine
So fine, so fine, so fine, so fine,
Get the message from the warder, and let us all go
Somethings got a hold of me I don't know what it is
I keep breaking the law
Somethings got a hold of me I don't know what it is
The man in the white coat don't think so
And so we move round in a trail that's stickly out of order
Move round in a trail
We sing songs of getting laid that's just a round the corner
It's me that keeps singing it's me that sings so fine
So fine, So fine, so fine, so fine
I feel so fine
So fine, so fine, so fine, so fine,
Warder, you lock me up, you take away my lady luck
I wish I could die and see what it's like
Where the evil roam my pillow
How they said Goodbye
Out in the city across the city ocean
We lie awake with our hearts on our notions
And every morning we're washing in the water
You play the vicar and I'll play his daughter
Nobody's gonna stop me now
The whole of my life seems so blue without you
Nobodys' gonna stop me now
After all of the things we went through
I'm leaving without you
Out in the city across the city ocean
We're using tears as a magical lotion
And every morning we're dying in the water
You killed the vicar and I killed his daughter
Nobody's gonna stop me now
The whole of my life seems so blue without you
Nobodys' gonna stop me now
After all of the things we went through
So glad you could make it
Bring the slaughter to the lamb
I may look like some animal
But I am who I am , a man and I love you
And I'm hoping you feel as I do
I cover my face in terrible shame
And Open my heart up to you
Look at my friends they're always laughing
Think they're doing alright
Maybe it's me they think they're fooling
It's a general insight
Who knows what you see
Maybe it's Lies, All lies
She gave me a kiss like judas
Crowning the clown on his merry-go-round
She gave me a kiss like Judas
Who wears the crown when your heads on the ground
So glad you could make it
Beast and Beauty way up high
Cold Pains of Sanctuary
It helps to make up my disguise
But water, She gave me water, so I gave her the use of my life
Is it the chip on my shoulder
Or the hunch on my back that's as sharp as a knife?
Look at my friends they're always laughing
Think they're doing alright
Maybe it's me they think they're fooling
It's a general insight
Who knows what you see
Maybe it's Lies, All lies
Water, Get it when you 're feeling low
Who told you that she gave me another
Water, Who told you that she gave me another
She gave me a kiss like judas
Crowning the clown on his merry-go-round
She gave me a kiss like Judas
Did you really think I'd fall for that
Did you think you'd brought me luck
Sitting with the money such a honey with the glamour talk
Holding out my heart I hoped you'd pick a joker for me
You're never far always on my shoulder
What's Good for you always seems to be good for me
Lady, Lady
I Got You I've got you eating out of my hand
I Got You I've got you eating out of my hand
DId you really think I spoke the truth
Sitting with the money thought it funny well I'm no super spy
Brought you along you looked like a proffesional to me
Knew all along You could never fall for me
Out of the blue another mystery
I'm riding on the breakers watch out for me
I'm feeling pretty tired it's after three
They should be out of season any day
I always get what I want anyway
I'm not giving up, giving up
I'm on the losing side
The thorns in my side and it hurts me
I bid you goodbye mother, miss me
Cos I'll miss you
Why can't you leave them alone?
They'll soon all be gone
When you're hunting the whale
Waiting for the big one
The aged never surface although they're there
I cannot seem to hook them they're more aware
The animal is bleeding watch it go
They always get so tired look so old.
I'm not giving up, giving up
I'm on the losing side
The thorns in my side and it hurts me
I bid you goodbye mother, miss me
Cos I'll miss you
Why can't you leave them alone?
They'll soon all be gone
When you're hunting the whale
Waiting for the big one
I won't let this man defeat me
I'll fight with this pain to release me
Twisting and turning the ropes are still burning
It cannot take the strain because I'm free
Why can't you leave them alone?
They'll soon all be gone
When you're hunting the whale
We left you in pastures rarely seen
(Holding out the fortress for a while)
Everyone knew why the calm had been
(Keeping friends among you saves a fight)
In the dead of the night there was movement and shadows
Attacking the women and taking the gold
The men were away and no one could hear them
They still cry today when the story is told
High on a mountain, out searching for gold
Men have had warning of scriptures foretold
Turn around and fight for freedom, you can hear the people screaming:
(Chorus:)
Calling all the heroes!
Shooting up the town, boys
Call all the hero-oh oh ohs
Calling all the heroes
They're burning up the town, boys
Men returned to find their home destroyed
(People rushing round with scars of war)
Babies crying, the aged, wounded, mourned
(calling out for someone to hear their prayers)
Five miles away were the thieves and the bandits
Laughing and joking, and sickly and crude
They didn't know that the men had come back home
They didn't know they were being pursued
High on a mountain, the men looked below
Cooked up a plan that would outwit their foe
They scrambled down the mountain shooting, reclaimed all the bandits looted
(Chorus)
Calling all
Stop!
Calling all the heroes
They're shooting up the town, boys
Call all the heroes
(Chorus)
Call all the heroes
Man in the Photograph I've seen you before
But I just don't know where.
You seem so forlorn in this world you were thrown
In the sepia frame.
You used to pretend that your life wouldn't change
'Til you started it over again.
And then came the day that they sent you away
And a war wrote your own requiem.
(Na na na na, na na na na na na)
Man in the photograph facing away
I will see you again
Behind all the lies and these family ties
You are trapped by the lens
And if I can't dream I can make it all real
And the past won't seem distant at all
I'll cover my eyes and I'll wear this disguise
And I'll climb up the crumbling wall
There's an ocean, and as far as I can see
It must end eventually
This distance is discreet
Slowly water, it will wash right over me
When perfection is deceit
If this thing was meant to be, it will be
Chorus:
And when the tall ships come to carry me
I'll be waiting patiently
And when the time has come for me to go
I will try to make you see
And when the tall ships come to take me home
It will be with dignity
And when the tall ships come...
I am sorry, all the things I meant to say
And words escape me every day
But the words are not to blame
So please listen, there's a quiet melody
There's a place that falls between
If this thing was meant to be, it will be
(Chorus)
There is the distance and if we took the time
Then we would not forgive a feeling
Always an ocean that I cannot define
And when you draw the line
Then we can start this healing, this healing
The Summer months are over
There's no warmth coming from the stars
An Icy spear of loneliness enters my heart
Dear Lord, It's cold Please send a spirit for me
To warm up my heart and keep me from the night
You breathe the same air as me
I'll hold you, you keep me warm
Who cares what I might say Lord cos I'm
Cold Tired and Hungry, I'm making plans for you
As I lie here half naked
Under your eyes
With them running overhead
The terror in the skies
And my feeble arms of flesh and bone fall for the night
The evil cold awaits my company
You breathe the same air as me
I'll hold you, you keep me warm
Who cares what I might say Lord cos I'm
Watch strap tight, he reels from indifference
Out of sight, emotional severance he pays to you
It's a walk in the park, it's a steal
So we all fall down at your heels
Watch strap tight, he's dreaming of reverence
Splintered light to feel insignificance
I've got plenty of time for you
I'm so ready to fly with nowhere to fly to
Pick yourself up just today
Can we get it together not throw it away
At the end of the day, you're going home
You find you're empty but it's way too late
An open letter was a quiet refrain
And when you hit the gas hard but the stop sign numbs
Can you hold yourself back when the red mist comes?
Yeah, when the red mist comes
Is it worth the mention this is not her fault?
But you never worked it, so plain to see
As the kids run screaming when the hand comes down
Is it your ideal democracy?
As the red mist comes
(As a point returns, we'll find you now)
As the red mist comes
(Always be one step behind you now)
As the red mist comes
When there's nothing left, what will remain?
Can you learn to find yourself again?
Through the wire comes the call
There's a family snapshot now discarded
You're going to join the ranks of the disenchanted
Good for you, it's coming true
Through the wire, through it all
There's a time to leave the past behind you
Come and join the throng of the disenfranchised
Good for you, so coming true
This is England, and you love me
I am England, yeah you love me
So much to learn, and so little time
There will always seem a thousand ways to be
(Through the wire, when you fall)
There's a picture that you've gone and broken
Try to tell them that in polite and pleasant company
It's not for free
This is England, and you love me
I am England, yeah you love me
For the attention for Mr Fibes
We have always had utmost faith in your abilities as an employee
It has however come to our attention in recent months
That you have been caught interfering, interfering in the worst possible way
You have clearly gone fishing, gone fishing
There once was a vicar who walked in this garden
No flowers would bend for him
He praised all the people who carried his crosses
And never confessed to his sin
There once was a mother who died in a hospital ward
In all dignity
She never expected from those who surrounded her
Giving all that she could give
Mother, look what you've done now
You've unravelled the masses
And shattered the sacred cow
Of all of the laws we should follow remorse
Some should be broken
And others we choose to ignore
La la la, la la la
Mother, could I be wrong now
It's a million to one
But I've always been sure somehow
These righteous remarks throwing stones in the dark
After all of these years, I'm still thinking of you
La la la, la la la
At the end of the day, at the end of the day
I'm going home
I heard a message on the radio
And then the news came over
It said the lady's gonna make a show
And then her mind took over
Moving in circles of glasses and changes
Facing the problems in all of the ranges
We fall our death with a mixture of races
And then the walls come tumbling down
And everybody's getting higher and higher
And then the moonlight hits the town to make me
Positively Animal
I heard a rumour on the radio
And then the news came over
It said the lady couldn't make the show
And then the show took over
Moving in circles of glasses and changes
Facing the problems in all of the ranges
We fall our death with a mixture of races
And then the walls come tumbling down
And everybody's getting higher and higher
And then the moonlight hits the town to make me
Positively Animal
I'm talking I'm talking to you
You make me feel so candy
I'm trying to get through
But you make me
Is it impossible, I count on you to feel alive
Almost intangible, to build across the great divide
I sometimes wander to the place you are
But there's further still to go
Is it impossible, I count on you to lead the way
Almost intangible, these steps get wider every day
And I will be here when the winter comes
And the warmth has passed away
Chorus:
Fahrenheit
Pushing the distance back into this life
Fahrenheit
Wherever emotion is out of control
When the time is right
I will come with you into the bright light
Fahrenheit
But there's always a place to go
I will remember you, it seems a lot like yesterday
Another memory, I try so hard to run away
But I will be here when the winter comes
And the snow is here to stay
(Chorus)
Passing the seasons, I'm finding the reasons
You are always on my mind
Each way that I turn, another lesson to learn
Another time
I never believe there is no gentle reprieve
I've only got myself to blame
I want you to know that wherever I go
You'll never leave my heart again
Is it impossible, to build across the great divide
And all these memories recall this feeling
Pulling the pieces together that happen in my life
A circle remains still a square or so I'm told
And I never forget, I give in, I was meant to be lonely
And why is everyone lonely?
Nobody shouldn't feel alone
Chorus:
I'm headed for a great disaster
Crashing around me in my life
I'm headed for a great disaster now
We shouldn't be a great disaster
No more time can make this feel right now
You will destroy all the things that I took to mean holy
I will hold onto the words that I choose to recall
And I know there's a place I fit in that I keep for me solely
And why is everyone lonely?
Nobody shouldn't feel alone
So when it comes down to it, just one thing remains
I call this space my inbetween
And when I'm too blind to see, in all honesty
We give up much faster, these great disasters
I've got wild eyes and chemistry
A dying sense of loyalty
And all these things you won't believe
Right now
I promise you rhetorically
I'll find myself no dignity
And I wish you would understand me
Right now, right now
Right now, Oh woah
So will you show me a map of the past?
And when I'm leaving today I think you should ask.
And when you tell me "until we begin".
I said "I'm leaving you my friend."
I got got inclination but two left feet
No real sense of urgency
I got all the tricks right up my sleeve
Right now
I got pinhole burns with dignity
Chameleon identity
Though I'm going no where just please hold me
Right now.
So will you show me a map of the past?
And when I'm leaving today I think you should ask.
And when you tell me "until we begin".
I said "I'm leaving you my friend."
It separates from chimpanzees
This finite sense of dignity
So where is yours when climbing trees?
Right now
So will you show me a map of the past?
And when I'm leaving today I think you should ask.
And when you tell me "until we begin".
I said "I'm leaving you my friend."
So will you show me a map of the past?
And when I'm leaving today I think you should ask.
And when you tell me "until we begin".
I'm really very happy with the love I've found
A faking act of passion on the killing ground
But I'd rather be next to you
It's the only thing left to do
A motivated liquidated nightmare
Like a baby with a laser on a rocking chair
But I'd rather be next to you
So Understand my point of view
Who knows the secret of life
Who knows the score
Black December ... Little Darling
Trapped within a circle of my own creed
I'm sitting dreaming tending to my own needs
But I'd rather be next to you
It's the only thing left to do
In half a day it's over and I lie there
Recall the drama, happinesss I've been there
But I'd rather be next to you
So understand my point of view
Who knows the secret of life
Who knows the score
Black December
Rather be next to you
This distant light, helps to remind me
So it keeps me in check but not all of the time
It goes straight to the nerve at the back of my mind
And it helps me retain what I openly give to you
It's only safekeeping now
I will ain from the words that I say to you
That's if you want me to my dear
Cos we're only safekeeping now
I will return all the words that I took from you
And I broke in two these things that help me
These words collide, help to decide me
So they keep me awake but not all of the time
They go straight to the place in the back of my mind
And I never forget what I openly take from you
Keep it in mind with her all of this time
With the safety in words that we choose to entwine
Pull at the ends and you'll see them unwind
They are softly spoken
Keep me in check but not all of the time
Give me a space and just let me decide
How can you forget when I openly cry
It is for safekeeping
I could pretend as I swallow my pride
Because it's perfectly clear, are you reading the signs?
So must I repeat for the millionth time,
It is for safekeeping?
It's just for safekeeping now
I will ain for the words that I say to you
That's if you want me to my dear
Cos we're just for safekeeping now
I will return all the words that I took from you
Wallflower in the garden You bring chaos and charade When you smile their colours fade And I am not a blind man I have seen behind the wall I will watch your bird, so small.
Don't dare deceive me
Wallflower Oh how you remind me So much poison ivy Wallflower Oh how you deride me Come alive beside me Bring it on
Wallflower in the garden Who dares race you up the wall? Who's the fairest of them all? Oh, ring a ring a roses You may wear your ????? I'll blow your house right down. Don't dare deceive me
Wallflower Oh how you remind me So much poison ivy Wallflower Oh how you deride me Come alive beside me Wallflower How you seem so gentle Never sentimental Wall flower Oh how you deride me Come alive beside me Bring it on
Cast not thine eyes on what is mine
And leave it all behind
I take thy sight and thy mind
I'm here to lead the blind
And there's a man in home so I'm never alone
And the place that he's going is the place I call home
So I hold out today and try to make the exit in the easiest way
Old Man and the Angel
I said I'm ready for home it's the way to go, let it flow
Old Man and the Angel
Out of the warth and through the stars to the cold
Old Man and the Angel
I said I'm heading for home it's the way to go, Let it flow
Old MAn and the Angel
Take up Thy cross and walk behind
You hold it in your mind
Believe not the fear of mankind
Step out of your body and walk away
I twisted my heart and I followed my mind
I gave up the resistance and casually died
And he showed me the way
And he led me through the exit in the easiest way
Chorus
Video Angelus internehilium et imortalis
Even as we speak our hearts entwine
Senex et angelus video venestus caelum
Equiden lavare in meus vita empeteus
Aah eeh aah eeh aah
Tearing ivy, leaving Sunday, here we go again
Another open letter, well, a reason to explain
I used to walk so quietly, I'd sit beneath the stairs
And all the while it's just a lie, the signs were never there
Chorus:
Whenever I go back there, I see ghosts
However close I get, you are the thing I love the most
Whenever I go back there, I stand still
How everything reminds me of a space I have to fill this time
Tearing ivy, leaving Monday, pushing through the rain
I couldn't bear to leave you but I didn't dare to stay
I used to watch the 35s, I tried to break the wall
However far I travel, there's no distance there at all
(Chorus)
I'm walking in your footsteps but it's one step at a time
This looking back is easier than straying from the line
I still believe in little steps, the quietest of all are best
The past is behind me, it hurts still, it binds me
I'm tired of disaffection, this affliction can't be bought
You promised me a million, here's a penny for your thoughts
I used to see in black and white and read between the lines
Now everything I hated I'm becoming more with time
There used to be England, a place I would run to
A home in my heart and a dream on my sleeve
I figured a moment and stared into water
It seemed for a while that this hope wouldn't leave
“Run away, run away”, she said, “All is eventual”
“Run away now, run away from this lie”
Chorus:
And I can't help believing, in the absence of feeling
As I'm turning away from my heart
Still I don't want to turn
Cos turning makes you fall
I will find you, I will find you, I will find you
There used to be rainfall in this quiet playground
A place and a time when I used to feel love
I covered some distance and never looked backwards
Remind me, my friend, why I tripped and I fell
Run away, run away, there's no reason to stay now
Run away now, run away for your life
(Chorus)
Run away now, away now
Run away you've built a wall
Run away now, away now, away now
I was only sleeping, heaven buried deep inside my head
Memory of water, feelings come and go until they're dead
But they try to run away from you
Chorus:
But I'm holding on to the memory of water
Making waves as I try to reach the shore
Holding on but I think it's getting harder
Holding on, holding on
I was always sleeping, waking up was keeping me alive
Memory of water, separating me from what's inside
And it tries to pull away from you
(Chorus)
And I tried to run away from you
Yes I tried to run away from you
Tried to run away from you, tried to run away from you
Oh my god, the genius of it all
The way the words spit from my mouth
I'm self-assured and meaninglessly bored
And all these things straight through your heart
So when you talk to me there's nothing left to say
And only one thing can remain, so please refrain cos...
Chorus:
I'm so wrapped in writing words for you
(I got your words, I got your words, I got your words, I got your words, I got your words, I got)
I'm so strung out that nothing else will do
(I got your words, I got your words, I got your words, I got your words, I got your words, I got)
Oh my god, how boring I've become
I'll say this again and again
I'm self-obsessed and tedious at best
I'd wish this on no-one but you
And when I talk to you I find it hard to say
You're wasting all these words again, I feel ashamed now
(Chorus)
Hoping these letters will carry you through in the old dramatic way
And I still recall as I bury the wall
It's a gentle reminder there's always the time to go sailing
Hey you've got yourself to blame
As these promises spoken, like hearts will be broken
I'm wrapped round your finger, your words still mean something to me
Getting myself into this was never easy
Giving myself up to you is no reward
Does it all begin with something new?
Falling into something you can't see
Chorus:
The lights go out at night I feel a space between us
The lights go out at night, I feel that I'm alone
So let's go out tonight, I feel the space between us
As we stare into the sun
Getting myself into this and into your heart
Leading myself into view, I try to fall
Does it all begin with something new?
Falling into something you can't feel
(I know something, you know something, we know something)
(Chorus)
Lights have gone down as you're fading from view
Secretly I fall apart
For I am the one who will be strung along
Tied into your heart
Does it all begin with something new?
Falling into something you can't feel
(I know something, you know something, we know something)
