A passenger is a term broadly used to describe any person who travels in a vehicle, but bears little or no responsibility for the tasks required for that vehicle to arrive at its destination.
The term is used to describe people who ride on buses, passenger trains, airliners, ships, ferryboats, and other methods of transportation.
Passenger is one who is carried by a public carrier from one place to another, whether for consideration or without it.
Crew members (if any), as well as the driver or pilot of the vehicle, are usually not considered to be passengers. For example, a flight attendant on an airline would not be considered a "passenger" while on duty, but an employee riding in a company car being driven by another person would be considered a passenger, even if the car was being driven on company business.
In railway parlance, 'passenger', as well as being the end user of a service, is also a categorisation of the type of rolling stock used. In the British case, there are several categories of passenger train. These categories include:
Iggy Pop (born James Newell "Jim" Osterberg, Jr.; April 21, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Though considered an innovator of punk rock, Pop's music has encompassed a number of styles over the years, including pop, metal, jazz and blues. Pop became known as 'Iggy' in high school, during which time he served as drummer for local blues band The Iguanas. He is vocalist of influential protopunk band The Stooges (Pop and the other surviving members of the group reunited in 2003), having become known, since the late 1960s, for his outrageous and unpredictable stage antics.
Though the singer's popularity has waned and waxed throughout his career, Pop has recorded a number of well-known songs, including "Lust for Life", "Real Wild Child", "I Wanna Be Your Dog," "Candy" (a duet with Kate Pierson of The B-52's), "China Girl", "Nightclubbing", "Search and Destroy", and "The Passenger". The Stooges were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010
Iggy Pop (AKA Iggy Stooge) was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the son of Louella (née Christensen) and James Newell Osterberg, Sr., a former high school English teacher and baseball coach at Fordson High School in Dearborn, Michigan. Osterberg was raised in a trailer park in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He is of Irish and English descent on his father's side, and of Norwegian and Danish ancestry on his mother's. His father was adopted by a Swedish American family and took on their surname (Österberg).
Edward Christopher "Ed" Sheeran (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter who is currently signed to Asylum / Atlantic Records. Sheeran broke through commercially in June 2011, when his debut single "The A Team" debuted at number 3 on the UK chart.
Sheeran was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire to Irish and English parents, before moving to Framlingham, Suffolk; he is a cousin of TV journalist and presenter Gordon Burns. He learned guitar at a very young age, and began writing songs during his time at Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham. His early childhood memories, referred to in a interview on the Zane Lowe show, included listening to Van Morrison on his countless trips to London with his parents and going to an intimate gig with Damien Rice in Ireland when he was 11. He also opened for Nizlopi in Norwich in April 2008 after being one of their guitar technicians. Sheeran began recording in 2005, which led to the release of his first EP, The Orange Room EP. Sheeran also released 2 albums, a self-titled one in 2006 and Want Some? in 2007. He moved to London in 2008 to play gigs, starting off in very small venues, playing every day, to as little as five people. In 2008, he auditioned for the ITV series Britannia High.

Plot
Viktor Navorski, a man from an Eastern European country arrives in New York. However after he left his country war broke out. Suddenly Navorski is a man without a country - or one that the U.S. cannot recognize, thus he is denied entrance to the U.S. However, he also can't be deported so he is told by the Security Manager that he has to remain in the airport until his status can be fixed. And also Navorski doesn't speak English very well, so he cannot talk to or understand anyone. But he somehow adapts and sets up residence in the airport, which makes the man who placed him there unhappy, as it seems he is in line for a promotion but Navroski's presence might complicate that. So he tries to get Navorski to leave but Navorski remains where he is. Navorski makes friends with some of the people who work in the airport and is attracted to a flight attendant he runs into whenever she comes in.

I'm just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
I doesn't matter
where I might get off
I doesn't matter where I lie.
I've been to cities,
I've been to countries
I've left a lover in many towns
I don't care if
I ever get back to
Where I'd already been around.
I'm like an eagle,
I like to fly high
I'm like a snake,
I like to lay low
I'm like a black man,
I'm like a white man
Maybe a red man, I don't know.
I'm just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
I doesn't matter
where I might get off

Firefly, can you see me?
Shine on, glowing, brief and brightly
Could you imagine? One summer day
That same night be on your way
Do you remember? Hearts were too cold
Seasons have frozen us into our souls
People were sayin' the whole world is burning
Ashes have scattered too hard to turn
Upside out or inside down
False alarm, the only game in town
No man's land, the only game in town
Terrible, the only game in town
Passenger, don't you hear me?
Destination seen unclearly
What is a man deep down inside
What a raging beast with nothing to hide
Upside out or inside down
False alarm, the only game in town
No man's land, the only game in town
I am the passenger and I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped backsides
And everything looks good tonight
Singing la la la la la.. lala la la, la la la la.. lala la la etc
Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Stars made for us tonight
Oh, the passenger
How, how he rides
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the sign and hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
Singing la la la la.. lala la la [x3]
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window side
He sees the things that he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city sleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride
Oh, oh, Singing la la la la lalalala
Here I lay
Still and breathless
Just like always
Still I want some more
Mirrors sideways
Who cares what's behind
Just like always
Still your passenger
Chrome buttons, buckles and leather surfaces
These and other lucky witnesses
Now to calm me
This time won't you please
Drive faster
Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees anything
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger
Drop these down and
Put them on me
Nice cool seats
There to cushion your knees
Now to calm me
Take me around again
Just don't pull over
This time would you please drive faster
Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees what tonight
Roll these misty windows down
To catch my breath
And then go and go and go just drive me
Home and back again
Here I lay just like always
Don't let me go
Here I lay, still and breathless
Just like always, still I want some more
Mirrors sideways, who cares what's behind
Just like always, still your passenger
Chrome buttons, buckles an' leather surfaces
These and other lucky witnesses
Now to calm me, this time won't you please
Drive faster
Roll the windows down, this
Cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in,
Who cares who sees anything
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger
Drop these down and put them on me
Nice cool seats there to cushion your knees
Now to calm me take me 'round again
Don't pull over this time won't you please
Drive faster
Roll the windows till this
Cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees what tonight
Roll these misty windows
Down to catch my breath and then
Go and go and don't just
Drive me home and back again
Here I lay, just like always
Don't let me go go go go go go go go go
So I can tell you a story of... of my life
Of sadness and sorrow, I show you my world where I hide
How did it come that I'm helpless, I'm on the edge
Far away from my own life, I'll be everywhere
I'm the one, but I'm not there
I've become a passenger, far away, lost and no one
knows me
From that day on, I started to
To search for this: my attitude! Every day I like my
last day
Can I be sure that I'm right when I say, hi!
Hi, to this way that I'm walked and passed by
Oh, every day I remember my first day on this side
I'm the one, but I'm not there
I've become a passenger, far away, lost and no one
knows me
From that day on, I started to
To search for this: my attitude! Every day is like my
last day
I'm far away from my own, far away from my own
My whole life changes and starts anew
Whole life changes and starts anew, anew...
I'm the one, but I'm not there
I've become a passenger, far away, lost and no one
knows me
From that day on, I started to
To search for this: my attitude! Every day is like my
last day
Passenger - Passenger - Passenger
I'm far away from my own
Passenger - far away from my own
I'm far away from my own, far away from my own
My whole life changes and starts anew
Whole life changes and starts anew, anew
Caged
You hold so tight until your knuckles show
Escape
As far away as you could ever know
You sink them all down
And watch them float up
Until the wheel has spun around
You will be bound by what you are
You stand in the corner
With your face stripped of colour
For what?
If you want to be a passenger
Climb aboard with me we're leaving now
Step outside and see another world
Only if you want to be a passenger
Chained
So many places you'd prefer to be
Than framed
By a picket fence and salary
You sink them all down
Then watch them float up
Until the wheel has spun around
You will be bound by who you are
You're tied to the corner
With your hope twisted under
In knots
If you want to be a passenger
Climb aboard with me we're leaving now
Step outside and see another world
All passenger prepare the game ritual:
There once was a man on this train, he was born into this world alone
Hands never laid on the wheel, content, he will never know more
He was a quiet man in pain, his tears I fear are closing in again
What you lose in years you again in perspective
And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes
For with nothing to follow he'd lived all his life in vain
But then, who here among us is without shame?
His way was divergent and cold, defaced, this mask he must create
And the circle unfolding still, unscathed, he will turn a blind eye
He will miss the last train home this day, recycled in the flow reborn again
The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing
And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes
For with nothing to follow he'd let all his will decay
But then, true wisdom comes in learning pain
And I have known pain
And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes
For with nothing to follow he'd lived all his life in vain
But then, the lesson unlearned he will begin again:.
Have you been the broken one?
Lying by the side of the road
Waiting for a good Samaritan
But no one has the time to ask
Why are you bleeding
And are you going far?
All the rest has left
It is burning on my chest
Can you see the air is angry
Collapsing into nothing?
Oh, the soul has risen
But never has forgiven
So we stay and starve the heart
To make a living
Have you seen the hungry ones?
Digging in the sand
Once a sleeping passenger
Awoken to this tired land
Last chance
To find out where I am
And all the rest has left
It is burning on my chest
Can you see the air is angry
Collapsing into nothing?
Oh, the soul has risen
But never has forgiven
So we stay and starve the heart
To make a living, a living
All the rest has left
It is burning on my chest
Can you see the air is angry
Collapsing into nothing?
Oh, the soul has risen
But never has forgiven
And all the rest has left
It is burning on my chest
Can you see the air is angry
Collapsing into nothing?
Oh, the soul has risen
But never has forgiven
So we stay and starve the heart
To make a living, a living
Then I woke, seven whole days gone
The sunrise is perfect
Taking aim, changing colours while it burns
It made my stomach turn
It made me quite unsure
A lesser diamond on a road with no horizon
Then it comes...I'm stardust
When a day hasn't been torture let me know
I'll find a way up, celebrate, then wake up
On the ground
I may define disturbed
A mental village burned
Connect to silence, say a prayer, let go of the rope
Then let it come
Now i'm done and I know
Because it hurts in all ways
In other words I am a passenger
A dream that's over
I'll let your wild ocean
Hold my light while you're quite broken...it's alright
I'll let the emotion roll my eyes
If not I apologize
Now I'm done
For once in my life I hurt
A slow train has overturned
And I am a passenger
I saw your face, stuck in a crowd
Silently screaming out loud
I felt the beat echo your heart
Throw me a line cuz its too far
All that you want, all that you see
All that you thought that you believe
Is it enough? Do you think its too much?
You say you only trust what you can touch
All you got to do is reach out for it
All that you want
Is standing right in front of you
All that you need
Is love....
All that you want
Is standing right in front of you
All that you need
Is love...
Up to the ledge, put out my hands
Get to the bones of where i'd land
Trade in my fears, trade in my thoughts
They disappear behind your walls
All that I want, all that I need
All that I thought I believed
Was it enough? Sure not too much?
Now youre the only thing that I can trust
All I got to do is reaach out for it
All that you want
Is standing right in front of you
All that you need
Is love....
All that you want
Is standing right in front of you
All that you need
Is love...
[Instrumental]
Its all for you...
Its all for you...
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch, oh it dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Oh oh oh no
And you let her go
Oh oh oh no
Well you let her go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
When I was a kid, the things I did, were hidden under the grid
Young and naive, I never believed that love could be so well hid
With regret, I'm willing to bet, you say the older you get
It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget
It gets under your shirt like a dagger or work
The first cut is the deepest, but the rest will flippin' hurt
You build your heart of plastic, get cynical and sarcastic
And end up in the corner on your own
'Cause I love to feel love but can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
I thought I was close, but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction
Oh, no
So what's the point in getting your hopes up
When all you're ever getting is choked up
When you're coked up,
And can't remember the reason why you broke up
You call her in the morning
When you're coming down and falling
Like an old man on the side of the road
'Cause when you're apart you don't want to mingle
When you're together you want to be single
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss
That made your heart tingle
How much greener the grass is
With those rose tinted glasses
But the butterflies, they flutter by
And leave us on our asses
'Cause I love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
I thought I was close, but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction
There's fish in the sea for me to make a selection
I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection
'Cause all I want to do is try to make a connection
But it seems I've been running in the wrong direction
Oh, oh
Oh, oh I love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
I thought I was close, but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction
I love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
And I thought I was close, but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction
Oh, oh
Seems like I'm running in the wrong direction
Oh, oh
Seems like I'm running in the wrong direction
Well it seems I've been running in the wrong direction
Oh, no
Seems like I've been running in the wrong direction
Tobacco stains our yellow teeth
And all our fingers and underneath
Our fingernails, that clasp on sheets
As we try desperately to sleep
Hearts are sad and eyes are tired
And all this Red Bull keeps us wired
Gives us wings,
It gives us rings around our eyes
We put three sugars in our tea
Sit to watch too much day time TV
And laugh at mums
Who don't know who the father is
And all our girlfriends are long gone
We watch too much internet porn
Who needs love
When you've got silicone and strap-ons
And beer bloats our spoiled guts
And shit jobs keep us in ruts
And keep us eyeing up
The whats and ifs and buts and maybes
And falling over in the street
Is just a part of every week
And we lie drunkenly
Just staring at the stars
Remember when they were in reach
And all the teachers used to teach
You can do anything
If you put your mind to it
We put our minds to it all
But disappointment crashed the ball
We could have done anything
But we just never quite knew it
So tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
And tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
And tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Oh oh, so tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
And tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Tie your scarf on tight
In an old house on a hillside
Next to the sea
Far from the madness, that folds around me
Peaceful and gentle, like sails on the breeze
In an old house on a hillside
Next to the sea
There's a warm light on a cold night
And clean cotton sheets
Soap smelling skin and tingling feet
With stars lining the skyline
And shine through the trees
In an old house on a hillside
Next to the sea
And when the autumn comes down
We'll get what we need from the town
And all of our friends will be round
In an old house on a hillside
Next to the sea
Moon white as paper and night like asleep
With old things behind us and new things to be
In an old house on a hillside
Next to the sea
And when the sunshine comes down,
My hair will turn golden
And my skin will turn brown
one - two - three - four
[Mike]
Well sometimes, I get tired of waking up on my own
And sometimes, I feel like I want to go home
But the cars they keep on driving
Down a road that doesn't seem to end
[All]
So we're following owls in the flight of the crow,
Living where its green,
But what good is it though
Life getting narrower the further you go,
Sunset's before they rise
It's there in the shadows where nobody goes,
It's there in the dark but what good is it though,
It's a vanishing point on a shimmering road
And there when I close my eyes
[Mike]
Well sometimes,
Yeah, it's hard to know the way to go
When the waters rise around you
And the fire rages down below
[All]
So we're following owls in the flight of the crow,
Living where its green,
But what good is it though
Life getting narrower the further you go
Sunset's before they rise,
It's there in the shadows where nobody goes,
It's there in the dark,
But what good is it though
It's a vanishing point on a shimmering road
And there when I close my eyes
[Mike]
Oh no oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
'Cause we're bullets and we fire from shot guns
Flying through birthday's and new years
Yeah, we're rolling stones,
But the moss keeps growning around
Hearts and our eyes and our ears
Yeah, we're bullets and we fire from shot guns
Flying through birthdays and new years
Yeah, we're rolling stones,
But the moss keeps growning around
Our hearts and our eyes and our ears
[All]
So we're following owls in the flight of the crow,
Living where its green,
But what good is it though
Life getting narrower the further you go,
Sunset's before they rise
It's there in the shadows where nobody goes,
It's there in the dark,
But what good is it though
It's a vanishing point on a shimmering road
It's there when I close my eyes,
It's there when I close my eyes,
We are bitter losers, snarling through our smiles
We're the lost boys, in the supermarket isles
We're Christmas dogs, dumped by the side of the road
Confused, we will run for miles
We are road rage
We are stone age
We are wild
We are busted light bulbs, in a backstreet neon sign
We're the shaking gun, in a service station line
We'll drink though we're drunk,
We'll sink though we've sunk
We're fucked but we say that we're fine
We are rampage,
Missing back page's in our spine
We long, for journeys and the roadside
We long, for starlight and the low tide
Yeah, we long, for fairy tales and firesides
And oh,
We are coffeehouse cynics,
Too righteous, too rigid to believe
Disappointed romantics,
Scraping the heart's from our sleeves
We're the toothless drunk,
We're the aging punk
Yeah, we are Adam,
We're the apple and we're Eve
We are beggars with shiny pennies, on our knees
We long, for sunlight on the hillsides
Yeah, we long, for yesterdays and hindsight
Oh, we long, for fairy tales and firesides
And oh,
Yeah we long for carnivals and fairground rides
Oh, we long for journeys and the roadsides
Well we dance without our shoes,
But there's glass around our feet
And we'd walk around the town,
But we're allergic to concrete
We'd be stuffed to the gills
But there's nothing here to eat
No, there's nothing here to eat
No, there's nothing here to eat
Oh, well we'd love to rest our eyes
But we hear the floor boards creek
So, we lie with one eye open and
Clutch knives between the sheets
If there's no rest for the wicked
Well, then we'll never get no sleep
We'll never get no sleep
No, we'll never get no sleep
Oh, no...
'Cause we're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
One went out at a bus-stop in Edinburgh
One went out in an English park
One went out in a night club, when I was fifteen
Little lights in my heart
One went out when I lied to my mother
Said the cigarettes she found were not mine
One went out within me
Now I smoke like a chimney
It's getting dark in this heart of mine
It's getting dark in this heart of mine
We're born with millions
Of little lights shining in the dark
And they show us the way
One lights up, every time you feel love in your heart
One dies when it moves away
One went out in the back streets of Manchester
One went out in an airport in Spain
One went out, have no doubt
When I grew up and moved out
Of the place where the boy used to play
One went out when uncle Ben got his tumor
We used to fish and I fish no more
Though we will not return
I know one still burns
On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore
On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore
We're born with millions
Of little lights shining in the dark
And they show us the way
One lights up every time we feel love in our hearts
One dies when it moves away
We're born with millions
Of little lights shining in our hearts
And they die along the way
Till we're old and we're cold
And we're lying in the dark
'Cause they'll all burn out one day
They'll all burn out one day
Oh oh, they'll all burn out one day
They'll all burn out one day
I've got no money in my hand, or my coat, or my pocket.
Won't get to space 'cause I haven't got a rocket.
But I have air in my lungs, eyes in my sockets
and a heart that beats like a tap that leaks
in the night when you haven't got a plumber that can stop it,
Jack-in-the-Box without a key to lock it
Well, this boat may sink, but I'm not gonna rock it
'cause the sea doesn't know my name.
Yeah, the boat may sink, but I'm not gonna rock it
'cause the sea doesn't know my name.
Well, if you can't get what you love,
you learn to love the things you've got.
If you can't be what you want,
you learn to be the things you're not.
If you can't get what you need,
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.
Oh, the things that stop you dreaming.
Well, I've got no-one's word and nobody's promise,
not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets.
My liver may be fucked, but my heart is honest,
and my word is true like the sky is blue
in the summertime when everyone gets on it,
warm our skins and get sunburned from it.
And our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
that shoot like silver trains.
Yeah, our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
that shoot like silver trains.
Well, if you can't get what you love,
you learn to love the things you've got.
If you can't be what you want,
you learn to be the things you're not.
If you can't get what you need,
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.
Oh, oh.
Oh, the things that stop you dreaming.
Well, if you can't get what you love,
you learn to love the things you've got.
If you can't be what you want,
you learn to be the things you're not.
If you can't get what you need,
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.
Oh, oh.
Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket
I'm not gonna roll it, no, I'm not gonna smoke it
Till we're staring at the stars and the rockets
Twinkling in the silvery night
Two sips of whiskey in the flask
But I'm not gonna drink 'em
I swear I'll make it last
Till we're drinking out of the same glass again
And though the sand may be washed by the sea
And the old will be lost in the new
Well four will not wait for three
For three never waited for two
And though you will not wait for me
I'll wait for you
Got a Polaroid picture in my wallet
I'm not gonna tear it, no, I'm not gonna spoil it
It's an unspoken heartbreak
A heartbroken handshake
I take with me where I go
Three words on the tip of my tongue
Not to be spoke nor sung
Or whispered to anyone
Till I scream 'em at the top of my lungs again
And though the sand may be washed by the sea
And the old will be lost in the new
Well four will not wait for three
For three never waited for two
And though you will not wait for me
I'll wait for you
Oh, whoa
And, oh, oh, oh
I'll wait for you
Oh, whoa
And, oh, oh, oh
And I'll wait for you
Oh, oh
Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket
I'm not gonna roll it, no, I'm not gonna smoke it
Till we're staring at the stars and the rockets
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing round in the rain
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heals rubbed toes
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books
And crackling vinyl
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you'r given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better of dead
While the evening pulled the moon out of its packet
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
We needed a nail but wetacked it 'til it fell off the wall
While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
And i stumbled down to the stomach of the town
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you'r given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better of dead
Well i'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
Oh hell with this place, i'll go it my own way
I'll stick out my thumb and trudge down the highway
Someday someone must be going my way home
Till then i'll make my bed from a disused car
With a matress of leaves and a blanket of stars
And i'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you'r given
You know life's for the living so live it
Or you're better of dead
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you'r given
Life's for the living so live it
Well last night I couldn't sleep
I got up and started walking
Down to the end of my street
And on into town
Well I had no one to meet
And I had no taste for talking
Seems I'm talking my whole life
It's time I listen now
Well I walk past the late night boys
With their bottles in their doorways
And I walk past the business men
Sleeping like babies in their cars
And I thought to myself
Oh, son
You may be lost in more ways than one
But I have a feeling that it's more fun
Than knowing exactly where you are
Like a stone carried on the river
Like a boat sailing on the sea
Well I keep on walking
Oh, I keep on walking
Till I fine that old love
Or that old love, comes to finds me
Well I walked into the morning
And felt that warm sunlight forming on my shoulders
'Cause it hit with no warning
Like a summer sky storming in my lungs
Ain't it funny how the kids walk by
They'll do anything to make themselves look older
While the women spend their money
On anything that makes them look young
Like a stone carried on the river
Like a boat sailing on the sea
Oh, I keep on walking
Well I keep on walking
Till I fine that old love
Or that old love, comes to finds me
Oh, lo, no
Oh, whoa, whoa, no
Oh, lo, oh
Oh, whoa, oh
Well I'm like a stone, oh
And I'm carried on the river
Like a boat sailing on the sea
Oh, well I keep on walking
Well I said I'll keep on walking, oh
Till I fine that old love
Or that old love, comes to finds me
Till I fine that old love
Well if love is blind,
Then home's where the heart is
How we ever gonna get back where we started
From now on, run with blindfolds
Into the woods till the trees knock us out cold
Winds shriek like drunken females
On a hen night, last bit of fun,
Till he breaks her heart in a text or an email
She can deal with the bastard son
We've got a knife in our hearts and a fork in the road
We see a light in the dark but it's fading like hope
I'll make a promise just to break it for the sake of it
We think that we're honest but truth is what we make it to be
Well a stitch in time saves nine, that's fine
But we've all been proper stitched up this time
It's a right old mess at a grand old time
Right and left, in front and behind
It's Sunday, Sunday, another bloody Sunday
Just a day till another bloody Monday
Morning, yawning, boring, snoring
In front of the boss when you just got a warning
We've got a knife in our hearts and a fork in the road
We see a light in the dark but it's fading like hope
I'll fall in love with you and love, you can fall in love with me
Just so there's someone else to blame when it all falls down
When it all falls down, down, down
When it all falls down, down
So let's get some fire in our hearts,
And a yellow brick road
I'm getting bored of the dark,
We could turn the lights on, you know
I'll make a promise and I'll keep it for the sake of it
We could tell the truth for once, see just how we take to it
We could walk in forests and climb up every tree
We'll build our house upon the sand, every day in the sea
I'll fall in love with you and love, you can fall in love with me
Just so there's somebody else
Just so there's somebody else
Looking at pictures on Facebook,
Of your ex-girlfriend
At three in the morning
Never helped anyone,
Never helped anyone,
Never helped
Getting so drunk you fall over
Singing up at lamp-posts
At two in the morning
Never helped anyone,
Never helped anyone,
Never helped
'Cause it's so pure you can hardly taste it
Oh, it's so pure you can hardly taste it
Going to parties with friends,
Who are friends of friends
At one in the morning
Never helped anyone,
Never helped anyone,
Never helped
Eleven o'clock in the pub
Drinking everything in sight,
But still not getting drunk
No, never helped anyone,
Never helped anyone
Never helped
Oh, it's so pure you can hardly taste it
Oh, it's so pure you can hardly taste it
So just hold on
When the party's over,
And all your friends are going home
With their girlfriends to their dog or beds
Yeah, just hold on
When the party's over
And you can't help the world's spinning
'Cause heartbreak goes straight to your head
Looking at pictures on Facebook
Of your ex-girlfriend
At three in the morning
Never helped anyone,
Never helped anyone,
Well I clung to you,
Like cat hair clings to a woolen shirt
You needed me, like a wedding dress needs dirt
The more that I wanted, the harder I squeezed
The harder I squeezed, the less you could breathe
And we sunk down to the bottom
Yeah, we sunk down to the bottom of the sea
Yeah, we sunk down to the bottom of the sea
And I cried for you,
Like a widow cries at her lover's grave
You haunted me through my stinging nights,
And aching days
The more that you struggled, the tighter the knots,
The tighter the knots, the lower we got
And we sunk down to the bottom
Yeah, we sunk down to the bottom of the sea
Yeah, we sunk down to the bottom of the sea
Yeah, we sunk down to the bottom of the sea
Oh no,
'Cause I saw divers and submarines
And I saw divers and submarines
Wind-screen wiper's never gonna stop,
Never stop wiping all the snow from the top of our car,
A car that has traveled so far from our homes,
It's never good to feel alone
But we've got what we've got
It's friends that we've got in a car,
A car that has traveled so far from our homes,
It never feels good to be alone
You're in the headlights,
Skidding out into the road
Like a deer, scared and covered in snow
Oh, you're in the headlights,
Skidding out into the road
Like a deer, scared and covered in snow
Flakes, they fall on boxes and tins and cans
The tins and the cans that fall from bins and hands
And our hands we hold in such a hurry in a world,
That doesn't seem to care about
Themselves or each other
Or themselves or each other,
Or sisters or mothers,
Or themselves or each other,
Or architects or brothers,
Or themselves or each other,
Or astronauts or fathers,
Or themselves or each other,
Or themselves
So, kiss me here beneath the street lights
In a lay-by, all covered in snow oh!
Yeah, kiss me here beneath the street lights
And oh, in a lay-by, all covered in snow for now
You and I, we've always been crows,
Hiding black wings beneath the snow
You and I, we've always been crows,
Hiding yellow feet beneath the snow
You're in the headlights, darling oh!
And you're flying out over the road, no, no
And you're covered in snow
And oh, you're in the headlights, darling now
You're flying out over the road
Well the sky's turning purple
Above the community centre
And I'm sitting in a circle,
Telling my secrets to strangers
And they say I've got a problem
But I don't know that I've got one
'Cause you never know that you've got one
'Til someone comes along and spots one
They say it's the hardest step
But it's the first one of many
And my feet are stuck to the ground
And I can't seem to take any
I could tell them I just came
For the free cup of tea and the biscut
And make my way towards the door
But I don't think I can risk it
'Cause I never wanted to stay,
But the morning came so soon
And we all know the words,
But we just sing them out of tune
'Cause I had my first drink when I was fourteen,
And I knew that I was in trouble
'Cause I woke up the next morning
With my face down in the rubble
And everyone was drinking singles
I pour myself a double,
I just needed a little bit more
And now I'm sitting here with my name badge
And I'm listening to the same sad stories
About their old dads,
Who're making all the same
Bad turning's at their crossroads
And drowning all their sorrows,
Without any lifeguard around
Oh no, I never wanted to stay
But the morning came so soon
And oh, we all know the words
But we just sing them out of tune
And oh, oh no
And the sky's turning dark
So we step out into the car-park
And I see you all same place, same time next week
But before we go our separate ways
Theres just one thing I'd like to say is,
I've got open eyes,
And an open door,
But i don't know what i'm searching for.
I should know by now.
See i've a big old heart,
This i know for sure,
But i don't know what my love is for.
I should know by now.
You see i wait in line,
So i can wait some more,
'Till i can't remember what i came here for,
But i can't leave now,
Cause i've a light that shines,
And a love so pure,
But i don't know what to use them for.
I should know by now.
Well i spent my money,
I lost my friends,
I broke my mobile phone,
3am and i'm drunk as hell,
And i'm dancing on my own,
Taxi-cabs aint stopping, and i dont know my way home,
Well it's hard to find a reason, when all you have is doubts,
Hard to see inside yourself when can't see your way out,
Hard to find the answers when the question won't come out,
Everyone's filling me up with noise,
i don't know what they're talking about (x3),
Your world always seemed so far away
My words are bouncing against your shield
They say time will heal all wounds
But I can't bleed forever
I want to live
I want to breathe
I want to live forever
Please spare us your self-pity
It's tedious enough
The stack of empathy
Has long ago run out
I hold no regrets of what has been done
I don't need the memories of a haunted man
It sickens me to feel this way
But I can't bleed forever
I want to live
I want to breathe
I want to live forever
We got to give them someting
It is time to crawl
You go to lend us the moment
And you'll have a rewind for life
Who do we blame?
For this rain
Is this just another breakdown?
Who do we blame?
For this rain
Why dont we stop and just let go?
We got to take away something
It is time to fall
You go to lend us the moment
You're in a rewind for life
I'm lost and confused
I'm stuck in your favourite parade
I'm choking, I feel strangled
I cant get a feeling
Is this a game?
I'm begging
But you wont please me
How come I bleed for this illusion
I've been falling for so long now
Will I ever see that this isnt real?
Then it all comes into the frame
The struggle- It just isnt worth it
We think we are the originality
We overdo it and become just the same
Im waiting for a break
So for it seemed to be out of reach
But today I'm god-like
Stay away cause its my time to play
The revenge- feel my wrath
Stay away because I'm back
I'll join the elite
This is the life i got to live
This is the time that I can give
The efforts that I make
Are just so that you won't escape
Feels like I'm falling
Like this would never ever change
I just keep stumbling
I am the fool in your charade
Sleep is an overrated thing
Something to do when I know I win
Let me know when its time to go
I have a lot of things to show
I'm so brilliant
I'm a joke
My tongue is golden
I'm about to choke
And I'm holy
I'm a wreck
My voice is velvet
I have a rope around my neck
I'm so tired of this world in my head
I am the man that lost
So tired, so tired of myself
Am I the man that lost?
I'm a king
I'm a kick to the curb
I see things clear
My world is disturbed
And I'm a mountain
Yeah I'm a pile
I long for tomorrow
Haven't seen it in a while
The tower Ive been
A brick I am
A statue so grand
I feed your sun
But I never thought
That I would be burned like this
Your rays of evil licking my skin
So hear my prayer now
Teach me to win
Or I'll be gone
Blinded by false innocence
Steal my wings
And I die slowly
Cracked smile, deceivable eyes
I'm burned by the wind
And I die slowly
These days I'm dirt
Bring the rain
Because I am the desert
I feed your sun but I never thought
I'll be burned like this
I turn my back on you
And as I try to, I hurt for you
I keep degrading you
And it's a feeling of healing
You are on your knees
I feel so pleased
How should I reply?
When all you say is why
I open up for you
And as I try to, I picture you
I keep degrading me
And it's a feeling of healing
Cut through the silence
I'm shaking
I'm ready but I'm still waiting
Everything is coming back around
I'm praying
I'm lying
Like I've never done anything else
Emptiness is all I find
When I.....
See through the eyes of my mind
I can't tell you anything
About the early hours
I'm sober now
Don't ask me how
Used to have endless day
Sick of begging
Sick of trying to please
Sick of the struggle
Sick of your fake id
If I ever feel your scent again
Youre one fist to close
If I ever see your shadow again
Youre going down the hard way
They call me the comedy clown
They feed me waste in the gutter
They call me teh comedy clown
I am waste in the gutter
If I ever see you again
I'll be close to my grave
If I ever lie to you again
I'll be dirt
What would you sacrifice for reality?
Is it important what we used to be?
Looks like I got here first
Offer a king and I'll invite you in
Spend carnival money
Because tomorrow wont be as sunny
Praise you
I cant change you
When I try to
Above it all
We end up somewhere
If we're equal
We could go far
Dim the lights
We're everything
The day we try to bend it
(We fall) like any other star
Would you save this moment for another day?
If youre told maybe and thats all the say
Cross the waters to the silent
Focus on love
A golden dove
Wake up (to) a new day
Lets climb to the top
Light up my lantern, I'll cut you a path,
We've walked for hours and it's getting dark
We left the roadside in search of aid,
Wind-screen shattered and tire marks made
I've never seen someone bleeding like this,
Rip off your sleeve and clench your wrist
I'll light the stove and sit by the hearth,
Orangey glow light the wintry dark
We kept her bedroom exactly the same,
Winters they followed and Summers they came
He'd bash around, banging down on the floor
I sit alone with an eye on the door
Stop in this clearing, we'll stay here tonight
Press up against me, I'll hold you so tight
I got these matches, we'll let off some smoke
And maybe they'll see up and maybe they won't
Blanket of leaves hide the light from the stars,
I'll lie awake listening out for cars
He stares through curtains when he talks to the night,
I sit and listen for tires on the drive
I keep on waiting and he keep on talking
Just stop him talking, please stop him talking
No, give me silence
Give me silence,
Give me silence
[Mike]
I only came inside to get out of the rain,
And by the looks of things
She may well have done the same
Well I swear I know that face
But I don't know her name
She's the shape of love
[Boy & Bear]
I stir my tea, I throw away wet cigarettes
I watch her shivering in her rain sodden dress
I know her makeup runs,
And her hair may be a mess
But she's the shape of love
[All]
And I don't ever, want the rain to stop
I don't ever, want to leave this coffee shop
I don't ever, want the clouds to part
'Cause the shape of love is the only shape that fits my heart
[Mike]
I only came inside, to get out of the wind
Now I'm here, let it blow
Yeah, let sing
[Boy & Bear]
'Cause I dont' know how this ones going to end
Or how it may begin
But she's the shape of love
[All]
I dont' ever, want the sun to shine
I don't ever, want to leave this one behind
I don't ever, want the summertime to start
'Cause the shape of love is the only shape that fits my heart
Oh, no
I don't ever, want the rain to stop
I don't ever, want to leave this coffee shop
I don't ever, want the clouds to part
'Cause the shape of love is the only shape that fits my heart
I don't' ever, want the sun to shine
I don't ever, want to leave this one behind
I don't ever, want the summertime to start
Well we'll kiss for that's how it begins,
We'll embrace just to warm our skins.
I'll think of her and you'll think of him.
And we'll talk to keep the silence from our ears,
And we'll laugh because we're so close to tears,
We're just lonely, you know, that's why we're here.
Cos you don't taste like you should,
And you don't fit in my arms like she would.
Lying in the dark, it's understood:
We are both lost.
And we won't be found.
We will wake up with each other in our paws,
You cover over white bits like I've not seen them before.
We'll say goodbye and then we'll say no more.
Cause hearts won't buy love and nor will they sell,
And there is no love in this hotel.
Though we're walking home we know too well
We are both lost
We are both lost
And we won't be found.
She was my compass,
He was your map,
We've come too far to be turning back.
And we'll sit on our single beds,
Nothing on our hearts and tears on our threads,
[Lior]
There's wood chip on the walls
There's wood on the stove
You would if you could
But you cannot I know
But I'm still your's alone
We lie on our back's
We lie on your floor
But we lied so much
We don't talk anymore
And I'm still your's alone
[Mike]
You said you were tired
I said, I feel the same
I put on my shoes and I got on the train
[Both]
See sunlight fade
And the shadows and grow long
Want to see rivers go winding blindly
Back to the stone
And the rickety tracks
They're taking me back
To where I used to belong
[Mike]
There's a weight on our shoulder's
A weight to your tongue
You wait on table's,
I'll wait by the phone
And I'm still yours alone
[Lior]
You blew out the candle's
When we fell apart
I'm not trying, just scared of the dark
[Both]
I see sunlight fade
And the shadows grow long
To see rivers go winding blindly
Back to the stone
And the rickety tracks
They're taking me back
To where I used to belong
[Mike]
And oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Both]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no
Oh, oh, oh
I feel sunlight fade
And the shadows grow long
I see rivers go winding blindly
Back to the stone
And the rickety tracks
They're taking me back
[Mike]
We're all looking,
That's what she said
For someone to share our thought's,
For someone to share our bed's
[Both]
But if you find someone
That doesn't try to change you
And if you find someone
That doesn't have to blame you
And you find someone
You don't need to explain to,
You've found the one you love
[Kate]
We're all searching, that's all I know
For someone to keep us warm,
When the rain soaks through our clothes
[Both]
But if you find a hand to hold
When the night comes,
To be there when your old
And you're frightened
If you find someone
That loves you with a love song,
You've found the one you love
[Mike]
So hold it near,
'Cause love it comes so quickly
And then it goes
And be careful my dear
[Both]
'Cause the very thing that makes you
Will be the thing that breaks you,
You know
Oh, and if you find someone
That doesn't undermind you
If you find someone
That doesn't drag behind you
If you find someone
That loves you just like I do,
[I See Love]
We'll roll down dirty old windows
And sing with our eyes closed
And belt out the high notes.
And we'll go down to the beach
Where the wind blows
And we'll throw off our old clothes
And we'll dance with our eyes closed.
Because I see love
I see love when I close my eyes
And I see love
I see love when I close my eyes
Yeah, we'll watch the stars glow
And the flames burn the wood slow
Playing games with our shadows
Till all four of our eyes close.
And darling we'll sleep close
With no blankets or pillows
Like the Wind in the Willows
And we'll dream with our eyes closed.
Yeah I see love
I see love when I close my eyes
And I see love
I see love when I close my eyes
And I feel love in spite of myself
And I feel love to frighten myself
And I feel love and I feel nothing else
Vultures and black crows
Perching on sign posts
Circling like ghosts
Well wood burns and metal rusts
So darling, what's to become of us
When the weather turns and they say it must
Well we'll need coats for the both of us
But the wool is thin and it's full of holes
And there's no heat in this abandoned bus
So will we go alone, out on our own
Oh darling, what's to become of us
Well boats sink into the sea
And airplanes they crash like computer screens
And signals fail, trains derail
And car bonnets crumple like magazines
Till they're put in piles, like stacks of tiles
In a yard full of fridges and broken stuff
Will we go alone, out on our own
Oh darling, what's to become of us
We will bite our noses off, to spite our faces
Both of us, will rust like metal fences in the rain
You will pour the gasoline
And I will spark the matches
We will burn within our fire
We will burn within our flames
Well yeast ferments and milk sours
When it's out of the fridge for too many hours
Will we lament in separate towers
Never knowing if we're brave or if we're cowards
For they'll pour cement down this hole of ours
And we'll be stuck under stones and flowers
Will we go alone, out on our own
Well we dance without our shoes,
But there's glass around our feet
And we'd walk around the town,
But we're allergic to concrete
We'd be stuffed to the gills
But there's nothing here to eat
No, there's nothing here to eat
No, there's nothing here to eat
Oh, well we'd love to rest our eyes
But we hear the floor boards creek
So, we lie with one eye open and
Clutch knives between the sheets
If there's no rest for the wicked
Well, then we'll never get no sleep
We'll never get no sleep
No, we'll never get no sleep
Oh, no...
'Cause we're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention, no
Every light
Will fade into the dark
But every night
Will die just like the last
Snowflakes on the water
Snowflakes on the frozen sea
Snowflakes in the playground
Snowflakes clothing naked trees
No stars in sight
Lying on the lawn
But every night
Is darkest before dawn
Snowflakes on the water
Snowflakes on the frozen sea
Snowflakes in the playground
Snowflakes clothing naked trees
Four horses pull a carriage through an empty street
And though the day is cold and still
They are not breathing
They make no sound at all
As easily as water finds it's way to ground
They bleed into the brick and are gone
And I have seen what I have seen as I fall
Like a whisper in the dome of Saint Paul
And the drowning man's forgot what he's called
But he illuminates our town for us all
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So walk up the narrow staircase from the balcony
And at the top go out and grip the golden railing
The view from up here really takes your breath away
And you step out of your skin and you're gone
And I have seen what I have seen as I fall
Like a whisper in the dome of Saint Paul
And the drowning man's forgot what he's called
But he illuminates our town
So follow me down to the riverside honey
We can pack our bags and take all our money
We can fly away, we can fly away
Take me down to the railway tracks
We can cross a bridge where the sun sets
Baby we can fly away, we can fly away
Take me down, take me down
Fly away, fly away
Take me down, take me down
Fly away, fly away (yeah)
And though the day is cold and still
And there's no reason
To make a sound at all
As easily as water finds it's way to ground
And I have seen what I have seen as I fall
Like a whisper in the dome of Saint Paul
And the drowning man's forgot what he's called
But he illuminates our town
(Take me down, take me down)
And I have seen what I have seen as I fall
(Fly away, Fly away)
Like a whisper in the dome of Saint Paul
(Take me down, take me down)
And the drowning man's forgot what he's called
(Fly away, Fly away)
But he illuminates our town for us all
[Mike]
Well I'm aching and you're aching,
With these dull and empty hearts
We waiting for somebody
To rip our ribs apart,
And to seize with a steady hand
Our dull and empty hearts,
Our hearts
[Katie]
And I'm taking and you're taking
We've forgotten how to give
I'm faking it, you're breaking it
It's just the way it is
So we'll leave here tonight,
But not before we give each other back our hearts
[Both]
'Cause our love,
Left us long ago
And we were both asleep
Leaving bloodstains in the snow
[Mike]
Leaving bloodstains in the snow
[Katie]
I'm waiting and you're waiting
But this train's not gonna come
Your voice has started grating
And I hate what we've become
So theres no future at this station
We're just feeding off the crumbs
Of our hearts
[Both]
I'm shaking and you're shaking
It's just the way its got to be
In this love abandoned Autumn,
We'll go raking up the leaves, yeah
The leaves that leaves that have fallen
From these cold and dying trees,
In our hearts
'Cause our love
Left us long ago
And we were both asleep,
Leaving bloodstains in the snow
Well I'm lonely like you're lonely
But it's only 'cause it's thrown me
Like it's thrown you
I don't own you,
And my darling, you don't own me
And it's kicking and it's yelling,
And it's bruising and it's swelling
But the writing's on the wall,
And we both know what it's been telling us to do
Telling us to do
[Katie]
Well I'm crying and you're crying
Into silent salty lakes
The road has turned to ice
And we haven't any brakes
So while the wall keeps getting closer,
I fear it's too late
Not to break our hearts
I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony, I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me
Silently for me
I see you nearly *every day*.
I see you, but you don't see me.
I wish I had something clever to say.
And I wish I had something better I could be.
We touched hands by the coffee machine the other day.
I know you've forgotten already,
But I'm gonna take that moment to the grave.
To the grave.
Cuz I just wanna walk you home.
I just wanna walk you home.
Oh, *yeah*.
I see you nearly every night.
I see you when you're down in your house.
With my night vision binoculars
I creep quiet as a mouse.
And I get chillers when I see you stroking his hair.
But it's okay, I tell myself becuase I know
It's only cuz I'm not there.
I'm not there.
Cuz I just wanna walk you home.
I just wanna walk you home.
Well I just need some time alone.
I'm the boy who watches the phone.
I'm the boy who eats lunch on his own.
I'm the boy with the monotone.
I'm the boy who still lives at home.
I'm the boy with the iron shirt.
I'm the boy who watches you work.
I know where you keep your skirts.
I know where your secrets hurt.
I'm the boy that's calling your house.
I'm the boy that's freaking you out.
With my thermal flask of tea.
Up there in your *neighbour's* tree.
I'm the boy that's crossing *borders*.
I'm the boy with social disorders.
I'm the boy with restraining orders.
I'm the boy, yeah.
Cuz I just wanna walk you home.
I just wanna walk you home.
And I know that's it not right to creep.
But I just wanna watch you sleep alone.
Cuz I just wanna walk you home.
It's been years
since we carved our names
on a clocktower door
before everything changed
we were big eyed boys
with the salt on our skin
and we'd throw our kites to the wind
and they'd fly on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on
It's been years
since we whispered soft
with the torch light on
and the big light off
we were tired boys
with the soap on our skin
and we'd fall asleep to the wind
and we'd dream on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on
Cos we're circles
we're circles you see
we go round round the sun
in and out like the sea
i'll circle round you
you will circle round me
And in years
when the torch light thins
and the clock tower's gone
and the big light dims
we'll no longer be boys
we'll have lines on our skin
This is your travelling song
And I hope it sees you well,
Through train rides and hotels
This is your travelling song,
And on the window of the train
With your finger write my name
Well I could sell my watch an buy a ticket
But, my dear, I fear I wouldn't leave
So this is your travelling song, my love,
I hope you find everything you need
This is your travelling song
So here's one for the road,
The highway in the cold
This is your travelling song
And I won't ask you to stay
'Cause life don't work that way
Well I can try and fit inside your suitcase
But my feet would stick out of the end
So this is your travelling song, my love,
Come find me when your travelling ends
Oh, this is your travelling song, my love,
Sometimes when the light catches her face
In a very particular way
It reminds me so true
Of a girl that I once knew
And there's something in her voice
That has left me with no choice
And a memory's renewed
Of a girl that I once knew
And there's something when she smiles
Throwing lines around her eyes
As a keyhole I see through
To a girl that I once knew
Sometimes it's almost too much
When I feel her gentle touch
Running fingers down and through
Like a girl that I once knew
And to hear her sleeping breath
The rise and falling of her chest
Moonlight paints a ghostly blue
Like a girl that I once knew
And the girl that I once knew
Left me empty and confused
And it feels different somehow
Well, there's a river that runs through Glasgow
And it makes her, but it breaks her and takes her in two parts
And the current just like my blood flows
Down from the hills, 'round aching bones to my restless heart
Well, I would swim, but the river is so wide
And I'm scared I won't make it to the other side
Well, God knows I've failed, but He knows that I've tried
I long for something that's safe and warm
But all I have is all that is gone
Well, on one side all the lights glow
And the folks know, and the kids go where the music and the drinking starts
On the other side, where no cars go
Up to the hills that stand alone, like my restless heart
Well, I would swim, but the river is so wide
And I'm scared I won't make it to the other side
Well, God knows I've failed, but He knows that I've tried
I long for something that's safe and warm
But all I have is all that is gone
Well, the sun sets late in Glasgow
And the daylight and the city part
And I think of you in Glasgow
Help me stay awake, I'm falling asleep
And I don't want to fall asleep while your here
You're going to leave, when the alarm clock beeps
And it will beep any moment, my dear
And all that we have will be locked into memory
Like everything that we've had before
So I will stay awake and I'll watch the fire burning
And keep the hungry wolves from the door
Help me find my way back to the bread crumbs
I've wandered alone through the trees
The lights are dimming in the windows of the houses
And my heart is starting to freeze
See we have a light but we won't use it
We're scared we'll lose it if we don't use it
Then we'll die here in the dark
And they will find us, hopeless and helpless
And clutching our frozen hearts
And you and I, well we'll be buried side by side
And time it won't mean a thing
I'll be your underground groom
You'll be my underground bride
Please can you help me keep my head above the water
I have a cramp in both of my calves
Yeah, my lungs are filling up with cold dirty water
But I have a sickness that is making me laugh
See we have a boat but we don't think it
We're scared we'll sink it but we'll drink it
If we never find that raft
And we will sink down to the bottom of the ocean
With the fishes that glow in the dark
And you and I, well we'll sink down side by side
And time it won't mean a thing
I'll be your underwater groom
You'll be my underwater bride
And oh, the lights are fading my love
And oh, the water's filling me up
Well we watched the starlings fly
Around the burned down pier
And I spilled my coffee on my sleeve
She wiped it with a smile
And told me I was juvenile
And kissed me softly on my cheek
And her hair danced in the breeze
Like a thousand swinging trees
In a forest lying next to stormy seas
Well we watched the wintry sky
Turn a shade of turquoise
I whispered softly, I feel lost
She turned with laughing eyes
And curled her lips towards the sky
And said, get your map out then, you knob
And we laughed like a pair of fools
Like kids, they laugh at school
And we wandered home
Four horses pull a carriage through an empty street
And though the day is cold and still
They are not breathing
They make no sound at all
As easily as water finds it's way to ground
They bleed into the brick and are gone
And I have seen what I have seen as I fall
Like a whisper in the dome of Saint Paul
And the drowning man's forgot what he's called
But he illuminates our town for us all
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So walk up the narrow staircase from the balcony
And at the top go out and grip the golden railing
The view from up here really takes your breath away
And you step out of your skin and you're gone
And I have seen what I have seen as I fall
Like a whisper in the dome of Saint Paul
And the drowning man's forgot what he's called
But he illuminates our town
So follow me down to the riverside honey
We can pack our bags and take all our money
We can fly away, we can fly away
Take me down to the railway tracks
We can cross a bridge where the sun sets
Baby we can fly away, we can fly away
Take me down, take me down
Fly away, fly away
Take me down, take me down
Fly away, fly away (yeah)
And though the day is cold and still
And there's no reason
To make a sound at all
As easily as water finds it's way to ground
And I have seen what I have seen as I fall
Like a whisper in the dome of Saint Paul
And the drowning man's forgot what he's called
But he illuminates our town
(Take me down, take me down)
And I have seen what I have seen as I fall
(Fly away, Fly away)
Like a whisper in the dome of Saint Paul
(Take me down, take me down)
And the drowning man's forgot what he's called
(Fly away, Fly away)
Tell me one more lie, my dear (x4)
There's lights on in a window
And a sign post in the snow
There's a golden coin beneath your pillow
There's parachutes above you,
And lifeboats below
And a heart that loves you
Yeah, I think you know
There's treasure maps well hidden
And diamonds in the dirt
There's a golden thread weaved into your shirt
There's a kiss for every tear
That rolls down your cheek
And words I shouldn't hear,
And words you shouldn't speak
So tell me one more lie, my dear
Whisper softly so nobody hears
Keep me hanging on for another year
Oh, tell me one more lie, my dear
Well there's whiskey and blanket's
And a bonfire when you're cold
I'll hold a golden breath
Till I'm silver and old
With only hope to keep alive
And only time to kill
There's a fool that loved you,
And he loves you still
So tell me one more lie, my dear
Whisper softly so nobody hears
Keep me hanging on for another year
Oh, tell me one more lie, my dear
Spin me one more tale, sweetheart
Weave golden needle and thread through my heart
Whisper all the things you know I long to hear
Pour the petrol can, around this caravan,
and watch the flames take all you own.
There's a girl that understands
like the back of her two hands,
she's all you need to know.
Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find.
There's braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind,
there's heaven for the cruel but the devil waits for the kind.
-Whistling-
And you follow the blackbird home, through the early winter snow.
Your footprints track you through the grass.
And you ache just to smell her clothes
and her cooking down on the stove
You see her face in everyone you pass.
Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find.
There's braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind,
there's heaven for the cruel but the devil waits for the kind.
And you walk down to her window
press your face against the glass
only to find that she is happy in his arms.
-Whistling-
Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find.
There's braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind,
Every light
Will fade into the dark
But every night
Will die just like the last
Snowflakes on the water
Snowflakes on the frozen sea
Snowflakes in the playground
Snowflakes clothing naked trees
No stars in sight
Lying on the lawn
But every night
Is darkest before dawn
Snowflakes on the water
Snowflakes on the frozen sea
Snowflakes in the playground
[Mike]
You're just a stone's throw from me,
But throwing stones could never be
The perfect way to start
'Cause sticks and stones make broken bone's,
Empty words make broken home's,
But its love that broke her heart
[Both]
And If I knew what your were thinking,
I would stop this boat from sinking
But darling you are like the sand
And you're slipping through my hands,
I just don't know what you're thinking
[Josh]
You're just a photo in a drawer
But photographs are not much more
Then ghosts we can't forget
Just a red rag to a bull,
You're just a false hope for a fool,
But it's as close as I can get
[Both]
And if I knew what your were thinking,
I would stop this boat from sinking
But darling you are like the sun
Setting when my evening comes,
I just don't know what you're thinking
And I would stop the sky from falling
If I knew, if I knew
And I would love you every morning
If I knew, If I knew
Oh, oh
If I knew what you were thinking,
I would stop this boat from sinking
But darling you are like the stars,
I know I can't reach that far,
Well I've been living in this month of Sunday's
For so long,
I don't remember Saturday night
Broken record's don't play new tunes
Except for once in a blue moon
And I've looked, but the moon is still white
And I've been some hope to the summit of Sunday
Someone, somewhere may do something with his light
The smoker's lung's don't blow balloons
Except for one in a blue moon
And I've looked, but the moon is still white
Rusty gun's fire rusty shots
Leopards never change their spots,
And fireworks always fade too soon,
Empty words don't mean a lot
And for me thats all you got
But I swear to you darling
One day, we'll stand beneath a blue moon
I've been living in this month of Sunday's
And I forgot what Monday morning feels like
Blushing bride and handsome grooms,
Deep in debt from honeymoons
Stare above, but the moon is still white
Oh and I've wandered into wondering if one day
When the war is won
And one finally make two
And we think not of what we know,
And think of only what we've got
Then we'll go dancing underneath a blue moon
Oh black kettles and black pots
Seem to fight an awful lot
And make the kitchen the most uncomfortable of rooms
Empty words don't mean a lot
And for me that's all you've got
And I swear to you darling
One day, we'll stand beneath a blue moon
Oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, woh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, woh, oh,
Oh, oh, no,
Oh, oh,
Oh, woh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, woh...
So I've been living in this month of Sunday's
And I don't know when this month may be through
So will you tell that your awake,
For as long as it may take
And I swear darling, I'll show you a blue moon
[Mike]
Well I'm aching and you're aching,
With these dull and empty hearts
We waiting for somebody
To rip our ribs apart,
And to seize with a steady hand
Our dull and empty hearts,
Our hearts
[Katie]
And I'm taking and you're taking
We've forgotten how to give
I'm faking it, you're breaking it
It's just the way it is
So we'll leave here tonight,
But not before we give each other back our hearts
[Both]
'Cause our love,
Left us long ago
And we were both asleep
Leaving bloodstains in the snow
[Mike]
Leaving bloodstains in the snow
[Katie]
I'm waiting and you're waiting
But this train's not gonna come
Your voice has started grating
And I hate what we've become
So theres no future at this station
We're just feeding off the crumbs
Of our hearts
[Both]
I'm shaking and you're shaking
It's just the way its got to be
In this love abandoned Autumn,
We'll go raking up the leaves, yeah
The leaves that leaves that have fallen
From these cold and dying trees,
In our hearts
'Cause our love
Left us long ago
And we were both asleep,
Leaving bloodstains in the snow
Well I'm lonely like you're lonely
But it's only 'cause it's thrown me
Like it's thrown you
I don't own you,
And my darling, you don't own me
And it's kicking and it's yelling,
And it's bruising and it's swelling
But the writing's on the wall,
And we both know what it's been telling us to do
Telling us to do
[Katie]
Well I'm crying and you're crying
Into silent salty lakes
The road has turned to ice
And we haven't any brakes
So while the wall keeps getting closer,
I fear it's too late
One, two, three, four
Well sometimes, I get tired of waking up on my own
And sometimes, I feel like I want to go home
But the cars they keep on driving
Down a road that doesn't seem to end
So we're following owls in the flight of the crow,
Living where its green,
But what good is it though
Life getting narrower the further you go,
Sunset's before they rise
It's there in the shadows where nobody goes,
It's there in the dark but what good is it though,
It's a vanishing point on a shimmering road
And there when I close my eyes
Well sometimes,
Yeah, it's hard to know the way to go
When the waters rise around you
And the fire rages down below
So we're following owls in the flight of the crow,
Living where its green,
But what good is it though
Life getting narrower the further you go
Sunset's before they rise,
It's there in the shadows where nobody goes,
It's there in the dark,
But what good is it though
It's a vanishing point on a shimmering road
And there when I close my eyes
Oh no oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
'Cause we're bullets and we fire from shot guns
Flying through birthday's and new years
Yeah, we're rolling stones,
But the moss keeps growning around
Hearts and our eyes and our ears
Yeah, we're bullets and we fire from shot guns
Flying through birthdays and new years
Yeah, we're rolling stones,
But the moss keeps growning around
Our hearts and our eyes and our ears
So we're following owls in the flight of the crow,
Living where its green,
But what good is it though
Life getting narrower the further you go,
Sunset's before they rise
It's there in the shadows where nobody goes,
It's there in the dark,
But what good is it though
It's a vanishing point on a shimmering road
It's there when I close my eyes,
It's there when I close my eyes,
See the lights of your town slowly sink and drown
Like a ship in a storm
See the birds against the sun
Feel the weight of things to come
And everything that's been before
See the woods with no pathways
See your grandfather's last days
See the darkest days my dear
Whisper words soft and low
To the songs that you know
And take them on your way
See the fallen snow
Beneath the street light glow
By the side of the motorway
See the walls with no doorways
With a heavy heart always
See the darkest days my dear
See the woods with no pathways
See your grandfather's last days
One - two - three - four
[Mike]
Well I seen the girl running
With no shoes on her feet
Jumping shade to shadow,
In this deafening heat
[Both]
And I hear the trains coming
And the drunk man singing on the street,
And the fan on the ceiling,
Reeling, me into sleep
[Mike]
And I dream silent movies
Black and white memories, I suppose
They're the same old stories,
But wearing different clothes
La, la, la, la, la, la... (x7)
So where's the girl running,
With no shoes on her feet
'Cause theres no shade nor shadow,
It never felt, like it felt when I felt it
For the first time with you
And you know I wouldn't lie
Now I'm standing by the fountain
And I'm counting all the sunken coins
Maybe they know what it's like
To be a stain on your shirt
And a hole in your jeans
To be a speckle of dirt
On your dress so clean
Because I give you my all
But you give nothing to me
So go on, do what you like
You never meant what you said
But you said it 'cause you've had one or two
And I know that's what you're like
Now I'm standing by the wall, feeling small
As you're working the room
And I know that he's your type
With his tight fitted shirt
And his designer jeans
Well you treat me like dirt
I treat you like a queen
You have the time in the world
And not a second for me
So go on
You took me to the party
I don't know anybody
But I'll wait for you
Yeah you left me here alone
And you're not answering your phone
And still I'll wait for you
Because the taxi's just a fiver
But I'm your designated driver
And I'll wait for you
Because tonight could be the night
when you realize this is right
And so I'll wait for you
So no smoking, no drinking
Straight thinking 'cause
I'm driving you home
And I think your coat's upstairs
Now I'm standing on the landing
And I'm staring through an open door
I can't believe it's you in there
With an unbuttoned shirt
And your hands down his jeans
Well you treat me like dirt
But your hands stay clean
Because I give you my all
But you give nothing to me
So go on, do what you like
Trying to hold a love that wants to go
Is like trying to catch a falling flake of snow
It glimmers while it can but it will melt between your hands, you know
To keep alive a love that wants to die
You teach the birds to swim, implore the fish to fly
But gills are made for water, and feathers for the sky, y'know
OH OH OH OH OH OH (x2)
To find a love that's new where do you start?
It's like trying to find the light switch in the dark
But falling over mess you left unaddressed inside your heart
OH OH OH OH OH OH (x2)
But I will find love, that's a blind love
It's the kind of love I need
Oh well I'll find love, that's a blind love
It's the kind of love I need
With progress comes problems
With wisdom comes age
With lessons come learning
And pleasure comes with pain
You can only have the sunshine after the rain
I took a walk
It got me thinking
Left foot right foot
Smiling blinking
Breathe out breathe in
Somehow linking
My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth
Lost and the found and the north to the south
And the corners to the circle in my mind
You may find that the gate has been locked
When we come back down to what we really are
Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark
My hands they are empty
but they are clean
I'm poor but I'm healthy
I'm halfway between
The gutter and the skyline
Thinking bout an ex-girlfriend that I had
And the pages that I've turned
And it seems to me
That we all love the chase
But once we're caught we feel encased
Behind bars of love and trust
Uprooted by drunken lust
By people people just like us
people people just like us
You may find that the gate has been locked
When we come back down to what we really are
Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark
I took a walk to the station
Lost in my imagination
Having private conversations with myself
And I'm stumbling round
And I wait for the sound
Of this crumbling town to come tumbling down
People say I'm just bummin' around
Glass was shattered here
A midst the burning smell of fear
Dressed in plain clothes
A bloodstain on the snow
Looks like red wine
On the clothes of a sailor
She lives in a photograph
Waits for you to make her laugh
Well life was shattered here
A midst a thousand mothers tears
We'll need rain clothes
And tear drop melt the snow
Reveal the oil spill in the road
Looks like rainbows
Drunk up on the scaffolding
Swinging around
Drunk up on the scaffolding
It's been years
Since we carved our names
On a clocktower door
Before everything changed
We were big-eyed boys
With the salt on our skin
And we'd throw our kites to the wind
And they'd fly on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
It's been years
Since we whispered soft
With the torch light on
And the big light off
We were tired boys
With the soap on our skin
And we'd fall asleep to the wind
And we'd dream on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
'Cos we're circles
We're circles, you see
We go 'round, 'round the sun
In and out like the sea
I'll circle 'round you
You will circle 'round me
And in years
When the torch light thins
And the clocktower's gone
And the big light dims
We'll no longer be boys
We'll have lines on our skin
I have an eye on your back, so
No need to run against me
Don't fight against me, you, you don't want me to be
close anymore
Not anymore, you get bored
So let me heal you, cure you, heal you
I will never need to wish to be part of
What you call your future
No, see me interfere, watch me being your fear
You get bored, bored, I'm waiting for the last breath
I'm waiting for the last breath, for the last breath
I'm with you, you'd better learn to deal with me
Coming closer when refusing what I am
I'm with you, I'm with you, I come along with you
You'd better learn to deal with me
Coming closer when refusing what I am
I come along with you
With you, see how long you can hold you breath now
Let me see, determine wrong from right - you're forced
Into a shaking world - you're plunged
See me interfere, watch me being your fear, feel me
interfere
I'm with you, you'd better learn to deal with me
Coming closer when refusing what I am
I'm with you, I'm with you
I come along with you
You'd better learn to deal with me
Coming closer when refusing what I am
I come along with you
Before your heart stand still, and leaves you
breathless
Leave your fears away
Before your heart stand still
Leave your fears away, away, fear will touch you anyway
Before you're connected, in touch, before becoming one
of them
(Just) Remember you were about to cut the links
As you were about to get out, you suddenly asked for
more
I, I have an eye on your back, so
No need to run against me, don't fight against me, you
You don't want me to be close anymore
Not anymore, you get bored, before becoming one of them
Remember you were about to cut the links
Before you're connected, before becoming one of those
that failed
I'm with you, you'd better learn to deal with me
Coming closer when refusing what I am
I'm with you, I'm with you
I come along with you
You'd better learn to deal with me
Coming closer when refusing what I am
I come along with you, before your heart stand still
And leaves you breathless
Leave your fears away
Before your heart stand still, leave your fears away
Before your heart stand still
Leave your fears away, before your heart stand still
Leave your fears away
As we grow and while
she nails in the prophet.
Amoung the day she saw diamonds and ghosts.
The ground is betrayed,
the lifeless the resperated fall to dirt.
Behold as the water flow within.
The roots of life now sprout to this.
Bent and stirred up earth.
The diseased shall see new light.
Forget the figures.
Sever the distance between,
who we are and never will be.
The shift of "true man kind".
To see us truely shine.
This would bend me.
As i fold in time.
But the holders of survival,

I'm looking back
at what just happened,
a little bit lost, apprehended.
I've made mistakes.
Could I say it any clearer?
I've not been sleeping,
it feels like a week.
Our conversations in my head
and my body aches.
I'm not sure what's real anymore.
I'm not sure anymore...
and I feel like a passenger on a train.
Just watching the world fly by...
only a passenger.
A little entangled and short of breath,
when you look at me that way,
you're so hard to resist.
I wish I could say what I feel like you...
yeah, it's easy for you.
What we're going through right now,
we need time to understand.
There's needs that are different
between a woman and a man.
But I know I love you
as clear as this window
I'm looking though.
And I'm just a passenger on this train.
Always watching the world fly by,
trying my best to explain.
Please forgive me if this seems
like some "phase" I'm in.
I'm busy watching where I've been.
Just like a passenger...
I search your eyes but you're not there.
I reach for your hand try to pull you near ...me
but you move... away.
I feel like a passenger on a train.
Always had so much time,
never had to explain.
There was my life
gone in the blink of an eye.
And I feel like a passenger.
A passenger.
And I feel like a passenger
on this train.
And I feel like a passenger.
A passenger.
So I can tell you a story of of my life
Of sadness and sorrow, I show you my world where I hide
How did it come that I'm helpless, I'm on the edge
Far away from my own life, I'll be everywhere
I'm the one, but I'm not there
I've become a passenger, far away, lost and no one knows me
From that day on, I started to
To search for this: my attitude! Every day I like my last day
Can I be sure that I'm right when I say, hi!
Hi, to this way that I'm walked and passed by
Oh, every day I remember my first day on this side
I'm the one, but I'm not there
I've become a passenger, far away, lost and no one knows me
From that day on, I started to
To search for this: my attitude! Every day is like my last day
I'm far away from my own, far away from my own
My whole life changes and starts anew
Whole life changes and starts anew, anew
I'm the one, but I'm not there
I've become a passenger, far away, lost and no one knows me
From that day on, I started to
To search for this: my attitude! Every day is like my last day
Passenger - Passenger - Passenger
I'm far away from my own
Passenger - far away from my own
I'm far away from my own, far away from my own
My whole life changes and starts anew
Whole life changes and starts anew, anew
I wonder how it woyuld be to have your arms around me
to have your lips like that whine to have your hands gently carressing
mine
all night in my bed she is in my head, i cant stop her im just a
passenger
as days go by i see that you were meant for me
it adds up easily so lets just let it be
the world will fade i dont care as long as you are there
we'll make the perfect pair we'll be like sonny and cher
all night in my bed she is in my head, i cant stop her im just a
passenger
just ask me for the sky, i'll give you everything
time will pass us by, i'll give you everything
all night in my bed she is in my head, i cant stop her im just a
Walking 'round Chicago
I have smuggled you as cargo
Though you are far away unknowing
By the time we get to salt lake
I have packed you in my suitcase
Iron the creases from my own remembering
She said "Burn. oh why"
And I said "Burn. oh why"
We wound our way to Texas
And I summoned rumbled hexes
And I sent them across dust and oceans
In Phoenix, Arizona I had a notion I might phone ya
But there it lived and died a notion
She said "Burn. oh why"
And I said "Burn. oh why"
Oh my satellite
Oh my passenger
We came upon Ohio
I have you chewed on like a biro
You are a sum I am no closer to deciphering
We came to minneapolis
All fizzy blood and twitchy fists
I buried you in a day of snowing
She said "Burn. oh why"
And I said "Burn. oh why"
Oh my satellite
Oh my passenger
Oh my satellite
There were months with engines
In case the silence came.
They took the quiet hand
That waited
at my throat away.
The cold percussion
Of all these man-made things
The rhythmic scream of trains
that automate
the life in things
But I never wanted
To see the timely rain
To know precisely how
the chemistry
in feeling drains
I ask no sinewave cycles
And no repeats
from time
I cant see answers in
the accidents that chaos finds
I should have seen it amidst the broken things
That lost their meaning when analysis was everything
There is no voice of Venus amidst the steel and grey
And Im impatient for the things that make me move again
I should have seen it but it s a different sky
all the stars are in the wrong place at the wrong time
There is no voice of Venus amidst the steel and grey
And Im impatient for the things that make me move again

Tell me the meaning,
Of 'hypocrisy' and 'superficial'.
Give me a reason,
'Cause I don't believe we do compare.
Tell me a story,
Of how you ought to love me,
Living a dream of,
Innocence without care...
WE KISSED, HE SMILED,
SAID I COULD HOLD HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE (a little
while),
HE TRIPPED, WE CRIED,
BENEATH THE STRUMMING HANDS I LOSE MY MIND!
Do me a favour,
Deny what happened that day.
Making it easier,
To live with now instead.
Blowin' a kiss for show,
I know you wont forget me.
Playing along within destructive lines...
WE KISSED, HE SMILED,
SAID I COULD HOLD HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE (a little
while),
HE TRIPPED, WE CRIED,
BENEATH THE STRUMMING HANDS I LOSE MY MIND!
(hey heyyy) Now dont forget the time we, Kissed (heyy),
You turn to steal,
(hey heyyy) Now dont forget the time we, (kissed heyy)
Tell me the meaning,
You know you're superficial,
Give me a reason,
Give me a reason to compare!
WE KISSED, HE SMILED,
SAID I COULD HOLD HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE (a little
while),
HE TRIPPED, WE CRIED,
BENEATH THE STRUMMING HANDS I LOSE MY MIND!
WE KISSED, HE SMILED,
SAID I COULD HOLD HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE (a little
while),
HE TRIPPED, WE CRIED,
BENEATH THE STRUMMING HANDS I LOSE MY MIND!
Said I could hold him for a little while, (a little
while),
Said I could hold him for a little while, (a little
while),
Beneath the strumming hands I lose my mind!
We kissed, we smiled,
Said I could hold him for a little while...
I don't wanna talk
When you don't hear me
I don't wanna love
If you can't feel it
And I don't wanna smile
When you are laughing about me
And I don't wanna die,
When you don't care at all.
Do you care at all?
I set your heart on fire
I'll do what I can
To be more than I am for you
Tonight
I don't wanna call
When you're not listening
I don't wanna crawl
If you´re not watching
And I don´t wanna fly
When you ain't coming with me
And I don't wanna die
When you don't care at all
Do you care at all?
For some reasons it's not how it's supposed to be
Feels like searching for the way in a one way street
God given but a devils mistake
I'll be your slave if you just let me stay
I am the passenger
I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger, I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's a rip in the sky
And everything looks good tonight
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Get into the car, we'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window's eye
He sees the things he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city asleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's take a ride and ride and ride
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
