Embrace are an English post-Britpop band from Bailiff Bridge, Brighouse, West Yorkshire. To date they have released five studio albums, one singles album and one B-sides compilation. The band consists of brothers singer Danny McNamara and guitarist Richard McNamara, bassist Steve Firth, keyboardist Mickey Dale, and drummer Mike Heaton. The group have released five studio albums – The Good Will Out (1998), Drawn from Memory (2000), If You've Never Been (2001), Out of Nothing (2004) and This New Day (2006) – with a sixth in the works, expected to be released sometime in 2012, six years since their last studio release.
The band was begun in a small outbuilding at the bottom of a garden in Bailiff Bridge in 1990. A bass player joined the McNamara brothers, Richard playing guitar and Danny singing (into an upturned broomstick at the early stages). The three of them started creating songs, with the aid of a cassette recorder, and soon a drum machine was added.An initial set of songs was written, then dropped and a second set of songs written. A cassette fourtrack was used to make an initial demo in a house in the hyde park area of Leeds.
With every single step I take I'm leaving
Will you get your story told
Stealing light from falling stars
The devil that you know knows where you are
Sell your soul, you'll go far
You've only got to stop to make it easy
We were born without the brakes
What we like we say we like
Like when you should hate and make your name
If I seem down then look again
You've got to stop to make it better
And you don't feel it so you do it again
I don't need your labels
You can use what's in my name
I feel like I meant something
You always say, you need more time
Well, I'll stay right here
And I'll wait for good until I find a love worth mine
Someday, you've got it coming
It hurts me when I read the signs
So loud and clear, that I'll make you glad
If I'm leaving first and crying
All you good good people listen to me
You're just about done with the way that you feel
'Cause nothing rings home enough to dig your heels in
You don't have to leave me to see what I mean
All you good good people listen to me
And all I wanna do is find my name upon the line
Before I have to lose this I want time
All you good good people listen to me
You're just about done with the way that you feel
'Cause nothing rings home enough to dig your heels in
You don't have to leave me to see what I mean
Lose all your fears, they are keeping you down
You won't have to fake it, while I'm around
Today I lock my fears away
Turn the key and throw it away
And leave the badness behind
And start again
Today I get to make it new
Today I'm free, free to choose
No more worries I can't face
I know there's nothing stacked so high
I can't see the light from behind
And clear the way
Today I get to make it new
Today I'm free, free to choose
Today I get to start anew
I don't want to stay forever
Lift a hand to make you better
You don't amount to anything this time
Give it in, before you lose control again
And now we'll never be the same
You amount to nothing and you're never around
Say you feel the way I do
Everything is beautiful outside tonight
I know it's all over, it's alright
You're gonna change the way you say my name
It's for the best, for the rest of my life
You don't want to learn your lesson
Bow your head to someone better
Loneliness will have to see you right
Let me win, before I lose control again
No you'll never make the grade
Don't amount to anything, not in my life
Say you feel the way I do
Everything is beautiful outside tonight
I know it's all over, it's alright
You're gonna change the way you say my name
It's for the best, for the rest of my life
the first cut is the one you feel
the others just to make it real
I know you and you just can't stop
you show them what their lookin for
its you, but you still through the arrows
you're brand new
and all the rest of you
just chase your shadow
I'm easy when ya need a friend,
your perfect when you near the end
Go get em I will hold your coat
There's sevens on the dice they throw
and its you, but you bounce through the arrows
I'm brand new cause I'm still in your shadow
shadow..
shadow..
shadow.......
When your mind is set
And you're just out to get
Things that which I don't know
I guess you're gonna go
And find those things I don't do
Yeah you know it's true
Feels like all I know is not gold
So take it easy
And get your good shoes on
Make like you've nothing to lose
It'll help you choose
'Cos I love you baby
Well it seems like lately
I don't think you feel the way I do
Well our affair is done
It's just come and gone
We're just the same as those fools
Who try and make up the rules
We're born out of evil and gain
The song will remain the same
It's gonna take all the words and just not change
So take it easy
And get your glad rags on
Let's make like we've nothing to lose
It'll help us to choose
'Cos I love you baby
Well it seems like lately
I don't think you feel the way I do
The way I do
The way I do
When mistakes don't end cause your still too young
And your foolish games couldn't hurt no more
You gave me nothing at all but the time of day
It's no one's loss if you walk away
Don't take it wrong
Your still so young
Your foolish ways never hurt no more
You gave me nothing at all
And you said goodbye
And then I new you'd changed my life
You'd changed my life
Forever
When good times are over
and you crawl for miles just to hold her
I'll tap on your shoulder ohh yeah
I'll tap on your shoulder ohh yeah
The girl won't stop till she's told ya,
She feels that weak cause she's older
so rest on my shoulder ohh yeah
so rest on my shoulder ohh yeah
And some people may say that laughter will return
and some say they won't smile there's nothing left to learn
the deaf ears sad they pall? will quietly start to burn
sure faith in man hasn't gone its on my shoulders ohh yeah
its on my shoulders ohh yeah
its on my shoulders ohh yeah
its on my shoulders ohh yeah
I don't wanna make you come clean
Lay out your life in front
In front of me
Like the stars that shine through your fingers
A simple word
Is all that I need
And I
Won't need to hurt no more
You were all you could have been
It's bad you blamed yourself
Worse I agreed
We got this far by lying like winners
With simple words
That had to be real
Now hush
Don't you make a sound
I'm a believer now
And I
Don't wanna make the same mistakes
I know everything you do comes back
And I
What is there left for me
What is there left to feel
In this light you'd never get no sleep
We're stuck like steel
Hey look you fool
More than you gave
You're with the only one who stays
Nowhere safe
Fooling around can wait
When they find you
You'll have burned for days
You're gonna pay
Hey look you fool
Your foolish ways
Still want it all but you can't take.
Ignore me
Cos my lies won't make it right
But on a show your doing fine
With every lie I steal the time
To find the perfect way
To end it right
Don't you see
There is no perfect way
To end it right
Vain words of promise
Roaming through time
Burning souls that can not see
The laugh behind the holy desguise
Like a serpent in the dark
Longing for the prey
Spreading fear and scaring with threats
Within the speech there is dismay
"Crawl to me, I carry the light...
Don't say a word-you know I'm right
Embrace these lies that lock your doors
Don't ask a thing-the faith is yours"
So wait and see
Fate's coming to me
Without a question there are no doubts
For those who nod are those who bow
To something which they hope there is
COLLIDE
Collide, collide
I break down the door
to get at you and glass covers the floor
And each and every piece reflects a side,
the side of you with me that still would fight
Oh girl, I could have stayed with you forever,
and never realised the time
To bring some things to life,
others must be chopped and left to die
Memories are salt rubbed in my eyes,
my love is like a bird, with dreams he'll fly
Collide, I can't believe that we're so un-alive
Collide, The broken glass reflects a million sides
Collide, I should have known that we were gonna fight
Collide, What else could I see?
You dream, I lie awake,
and every time I push you pull away
My foot was on the gas, you hit the breaks,
now all my hopes are dashed but all my fears are safe
You would be wrongs for a tale so sad
To end upon a note just like that
Happy lost and still unaware
Throw your worries down with your cares
All I've got to show me I'm good
Is the fight I've got what i do some bad
The guilt connects me but its never enough
To light the way when its all I have
Near life
They say you work in some simple ways
You don't feel guilt then you'll never pay
Cos guilt wont take you if you look and see
Your life's a hurdle and its out of reach
You tell a painter how they should paint
You start a feeling that you'll never change
I'm on a ship and ive found the sails
I've got my hammer, all I see is nails
Near life...
They say it works in some simple ways
You don't feel guilt then you'll never pay
Cos guilt wont take you if you look and see
Your life's a hurdle and its out of reach
You tell a painter how they should paint
You start a feeling that you'll never change
I'm on a ship and I've found the sails
I've got my hammer, all I see is nails
I told the Devil and the deep blue sea to hide
I thought that you were after them
I was right
But it's a picture I'll always keep in mind
Where you say I've never been even liked
For anything truly mine
And you did it - looking as you are
Looking as you are
Love enters, and leaves you through your eyes
You threw away the only thing that I like
And ought tell ya, that things will be alright
It never really seems that way, late at night
When you did it looking as you are
Looking as you are
Now I know, that the world's not waiting for you, nor for me
And I know that the world gets heavy, will change?
'Cause you did it looking as you are
looking as you are
Someday, you're gonna see the way I see things
Break out the box they keep you sealed in
Someday, you find the real thing
Someday, you're gonna feel the isolation
'cause no one wants you with them
Someday, I'm gonna bring you back
and you wont know how to act
the world you think is safe, is changing fast
and all the runaways, will run their last
If you turn away, you can't turn back
The time has come to make way
And you just don't matter too much to me
If you can't run 'cause I will carry
You upon my back until you're safe
And you will feel the way I feel someday
Someday, you're gonna feel the way I'm feeling
But all the bad you think I'm suffering, won't break
It only heals me
And you just don't matter too much to me
If you can't run 'cause I will carry
You upon my back until you're safe
And you will feel the way I feel someday
For every stone you throw you'll carry
A million more and you'll be sorry
No one will escape who knows the way
And we will not sow as we reap someday
A light is gonna shine on you and i
A light is gonna shine on you and i
And you just don't matter too much to me
If you can't run 'cause I will carry
You upon my back until you're safe
And you will feel the way I feel someday
For every stone you throw you'll carry
A million more and you'll be sorry
No one will escape who knows the way
And we will not sow as we reap someday
Someday, you're gonna see the way I see things
Break out the box they keep you sealed in
Someday, we're gonna bring you back....
(yeah)
Now, a light is gonna shine - on you and I
A light is gonna shine
Out of nothing you came to my arms and you're right
I fell every time
You're the first and the last time that I'll ever try
So dry your eyes, I'll say goodbye, I say goodbye...
I'm left hanging like all dancing bears
I need rope to keep me in line
I can't stop them, there's more bombshells coming
I choke
More words, more lies
I'll say goodbye, I'll say goodbye...
I can't believe its come to this
Banging on a sinking ship, hoping someone hears my list
For every trial I take a fall, you never notice it no more
What we had won't conquer all
While the shots still ringing out
You do the worst to bring me down
You do the worst to take me out
I've waited, and given the chance again,
I'd do it all the same, but either way
I'm always outplayed, up on your down days
I left it the right way, to start again
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how long I've agreed
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how long I've agreed
Out of place, like a gem on a coalface
Lost on the right way, it's all the same
'Cause I've had my hopes raised, riding the wrong waves
Scared when you feel safe to start again
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, look how wrong I could be
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, you blew me away
Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Awaaaaaaay
Who could send something so pure to lure me away
I fought the last of my breath
But you came along on a glorious day
By the time that you left I was crawling again
Yeah you came along on a glorious day
Now I want you to save me again
Ooh oooh ohhh [etc]
The fire that they said would burn just lights up the way
I lie in the place where I fell
And three years on this nine day wonder won't go away
Till you bring an end to my hell
But you came along on a glorious day
By the time that you left I was crawling again
Yeh you came along on a glorious day
Now I want you to save me again
Let them all keep their plans
Cos all I want is in my hands
And I cant look down
Back then I had it all, now I want it back that's all
And I cant get out
Ooh oooh ohhh [etc]
You came along, on a glorious day
By the time that you left
I was crawling again
Yeh you came along on a glorious day
Now I want you to save me again
Now I want you to save me again
Keeping me up on my feet, was a love so complete
I have chased, but never bettered
Everything seemed like it fell at our feet
Now she's out of my reach and there forever
In the end I wished it all would burn
You are everywhere now you are gone
There's no stone left I have not found unturned
Like a tidal wave that never breaks
I will run and run and never stay
Cos there's no way back, that I can face
No one's come to take your place
Sweeping me clean off my feet
You and me were so sweet
Now the taste has left me bitter
Memory lean only gets you one way
And that's back to the place
And there forever
In the end I wished it all would burn
You are everywhere now you are gone
Theres no stone left i have not found unturned
Like a tidal wave that never breaks
I will run and run and never stay
Cos there's no way back that I can face
No ones come to take your place
You wont love, you wont love
You wont love:
Like a tidal wave that never breaks
I will run and run and never stay
Cos there's no way back that I can face
No ones come to take your place
Keeping me up on my feet was a love so complete
Honey, it's been a long time coming
And I can't stop now
Such a long time running
And I can't stop now
Do you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear that sound?
'Cause I can't help thinking
And I don't look down
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
Oh the way that gravity turns for you and me
And then I looked up at the sky and saw the sun
And the way that gravity pulls on everyone, on everyone
Baby, it's been a long time waiting
Such a long, long time
And I can't stop smiling
No, I can't stop now
Do you hear my heart beating?
And can you hear that sound?
'Cause I can't help crying
And I won't look down
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
Oh the way that gravity turns on you and me
And then I looked up at the sun and saw the sky
And the way that gravity pulls on you and I, on you and I
Can you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear that sound?
'Cause I can't help crying
And I wont look down
You've gotta say yes
How can you have doubts
The views too good to jump
Now let me talk you down
Come On
Like butter wouldn't melt in your mouth
Man you've done us proud
No you you're not with us
You please yourself, self, self
Come On
With your foolish lies and your alibis
I can see my works almost done
I won't stand aside as you wash your life down the drain
Before its begun
Cos you, you know better
Cos you're hooked and your fucked without me
You've gotta say yes
How can you have doubts
The views too good to jump
Now let me talk you down
Come On
With your foolish lies and your alibis
I can see my works almost done
I won't stand aside as you wash your life down the drain
Before its begun
With your foolish lies and your foolish pride
I can see my works almost done
I won't stand aside as you wash your life down the drain
Before it's begun
Cos you, you know better
Cos you're hooked and your fucked without me
yeah yeah yeah yeah
You've gotta say yes
I saw you sing out your praise
Come on and lay
The sunshine of my life's been burned
And I didn't see the way
Swallow down your pride
It's wrong and I'll
Help you hide
I feel sincerely you're too much
You're too much
All at the same time
Oh I
Know much more
Of what I can
Than what I can't do
If I should fail
I'm gonna nail
The blame on you
All my blame on you
Get it wrong and it makes you sore
But you're
Never right
I see it clearly you're too much
You're too much
We're all on the same side
There must be a time
Between the well meaning
When the good will come out
And start the healing
You won't know
How well you've played
Until you've won
And if at first you find
You can't imagine
How good can heal
When you've got nothing worth healing
You won't know
How well you're made
Until you're down
And all you have is gone.
The good will come out
The good will come out
We're dry kids
There's nothing you've got I want
Are you gonna leave?
So you keep it locked in
We murder each other each day
Knowing we'd never be
Crow barred apart
And we try for so long
To reach eleven
On a scale of one to ten
But we never get so far
I'm done
You're out of my system
Learning how to live
With how it feels
And we try for so long
To reach eleven
On a scale of one to ten
But we never get so far
Me and you should have
Never left the start
Me and you should have
Don't let me turn my back on love
It's all I have
When the light you shine
Burns my eyes
Don't turn
NO don't turn around
You'll see it's already gone
Man it's a sin
That you push too hard
Now I'm so far away
Please don't turn on love
Before it begins
There'll be time enough to change your mind
When your feelings change
No don't turn on love
Before it begins
There'll be time enough to change your mind
When you don't feel the same
Please don't turn on love
Before it begins
There'll be time enough to change your mind
When your feelings change
No don't turn on love
Before it begins
There'll be time enough to change your mind
I'm so stuck with a love that I feel
here inside
every part aches
I don't know why I still feel this way when with you
I'm such a lucky fool
Your warm hands cling onto mine and
you know inside
that you feel safe
I don't know why I still feel this way but I do
I'm such a lucky fool
I'm so in love with you
I don't know why I still feel this way but i do
I'm such a lucky fool
I don't know
About the way you're gonna go
Just get on board
Put your foot to the floor
'Cos the time is going to go
Make no bones
About the way it's done
You followed the tide
But you're towing the line
But the tides
Get too strong
Hang on to your life
Don't let it fade too fast
Sit yourself down to recover
Take another chance my brother
Don't let it get you down
Change is sweet
So get up off your feet
You've got no time to keep living a lie
'Cos your heart is cut too deep
Hang on to your life
Don't let it fade too fast
Sit yourself down to recover
Take another chance my brother
Don't let it get you down
The change is sweet
The change is sweet
The change is sweet
The change is sweet
I want a free ride
Just to see what it feels like
But even if it feels right
I'm no fool
In the hospital where stretchers
Are arms and hands
I needed someone who could understand
Although these things they
Are never planned
I wanna feel
Something for free
I want a clear view
With nothing there that I can't see through
'cos everybody wants to understand
In the hospital where stretchers
Are arms and hands
I needed someone who could understand
Although these things they
Are never planned
I wanna feel
The feeling I thought you shared
Was never there
And still you turn around pretending that you care
With every lie
You make it hard
You've gotta let somebody down
Before you go too far
And I feel
Something that we can't do about the way you feel you've been
The feeling can't be repaired
If it's not there
You've gotta walk around pretending that you care
And then a time
Will come too soon
You're gonna break somebody's heart
Before you go too far
Just hear
There's nothing no one can do about the way they feel inside
Before you try and mend what you've done
Realize there's nothing that you've done wrong
All that was left was the present that you got me
I was gonna break it but know I need the money and
I don't know what I should do
So I take another drink and rush the way I'm falling
its not the ones who will win and who are keepin score
its what losers are for
You look like a believer in your eyes
I was licked by the nose 'til I found out
You've got a straight honest struggle
that I gave god its time, more time
I was all hate until you kicked my heart open
now I'm in lane but you're not taken over me
you really got me fooled
Its not my trick but i've seen it done many times
And so I think I've learned all you're evil lies
but every feelin' needs proof
You look like a believer in your eyes
I was licked by the nose 'til I found out
You've got a straight honest struggle
that I gave god its time, more time
You look like a believer in your eyes
I was licked by the nose 'til I found out
You've got a straight honest struggle
that I gave god its time, more time
I found out what the hate was for tonite
now I found out
what the waste was for tonite
Somebody had better
Leave before I get better
Well enough to see you're not the one
Well enough to measure
That it couldn't last forever
Words I keep repeating
Are more real now they're wrong
Cause I've seen hurt like this before
and I can only slow its cause
Judge me like a stone
Skim the surface of the real wrong
Between us couldn't be
Just because you're old to me
Cause I've seen others make much more
With limits we know nothing of
And I, won't be keeping score
As you wave goodbye
Cause I, know what losing's for
It's for when we try
And I, know my luck is covered up in lies
And I feel like a sinner every time
I have to let you down
And I, don't know how, I ever let you down
Cause I've seen others make much more
I've been running
For oh so long
There's a light that guides you
I don't see
Catch some light
Reflect it down on me
Show me where it all went wrong
And then leave
So that I can be alone
I've been running
For oh so long
There's a light that guides you
I can't see
Gives you life
While shadows take from me
Cos I believed you when you lied
Now it's fear that will keep you
In your life
So hush
Don't you say the word
Cos I saw
It coming first
Regret is all that you deserve
Your lies are bad
The truth is worse
One day there'll come a time
When your questions have all dried up
And chance can come back
Into your life
Till then I know that it's all been a waste
I know that all that I feel is a waste
I know that all that I feel is a waste
Invite the chance back into your life
It's time to invite all the chance back into your life
your secrets safe
cause you keep it inside
so nobody knows what you've done
but you can't hide you can't run
I know what's going on with you baby
I know what's going on
I shine a light on the fact that you lied
can see that your fooling no-one
cause everything you've done is wrong
I know what's going on with you baby
I know what's going on
I know what's going on with you baby
I know what's going on
your secrets safe
cause you keep it inside
so nobody knows what you've done
but you can't run you can't hide
I know what's going on with you baby
I know what's going on
I know what's going on with you baby
I know what's going on
I know what's going on with you baby
I know what's going on
Blood is boring
Sleep is boring
Don't stop running
I'm here counting
The life, the hurt, the pain, the hate
The life, the hurt, the pain, the hate
The life, the hurt, the pain, the hate
Will he keep fuckin' with me? There's no where else to go!
So I walk but seem to crawl
For, I'm giving in today
Now I run into a wall
Cause I cannot fight my way
You've gotta come with me (I cannot stand this place)
We're falling off the world (and I'll give in this way)
We had a chance to run (and now I can't believe)
We're going all the way (and all the affairs embrace)
My life, worry, life is story
Give up, beating
I'll start, needing
The life, the hurt, the pain, the hate
The life, the hurt, the pain, the hate
The life, the hurt, the pain, the hate
Will he keep fuckin' with me? There's no where else to go!
So I walk but seem to crawl
For, I'm giving in today
Now I run into a wall
Cause I cannot fight my way
You've gotta come with me (I cannot stand this place)
We're falling off the world (and I'll give in this way)
We had a chance to run (and now I can't believe)
We're going all the way (and all the affairs embrace) (Embrace Embrace
Uh, uh, uh uh.
Uh, uh, uh uh.
Uh, uh, uh uh.
Uh, uh, uh uh.
What really do I have to follow?
Nothing makes sense at all.
Taking something for nothing
Watch me as I fall.
I'm bringing me down
I'm bringing me...down
You've gotta come with me (I cannot stand this place)
We're falling off the world (and I'll give in this way)
We had a chance to run (and now I can't believe)
Holding my head
For the last of race
Pushing my body
To get that embrace
It won't last
Hold on fast
It won't last
Hold on fast
Breathing in time
So hard to trace
Crushing your skull
With my warming embrace
It won't last
Hold on fast
It won't last
Hold on fast
I fell down the stairs
I wished I were dead
You ran for the light
He handed me your head
It won't last
It won't last
Hold on fast
It won't last
Maybe I'll call, and then maybe I won't
ever be there, I know you need me,
I don't know no one like you do.
So I'm taking my time, taking some time alone,
time I realised the pain I'm feeding,
I don't know no one like you do.
If I'd known you'd follow,
I'd be there 'til the end,
and just give me strength if you can,
And I've no sorrow I'll be feeling in the end,
and just give me strength if you can.
So I wrote out a list of all that I've ever done,
all that I miss is there to meet me,
I don't know no one like you do.
And I'll never be there,
and I'll never let you know
I'll ever care about your feeling,
I don't know no one like you do.
If I'd known you'd follow,
I'd be there 'til the end,
and just give me strength if you can,
If I'd known the sorrow I'd be feeling in the end,
and just give me strength again,
c'mon and give me strength for all I've done,
just give me strength to go on.
Happiness take my hand, I'll be alone until you understand
all that I want now our love has gone,
Happiness take my hand, I'll be alone until she'd understand
what good that I know you're out the door.
Now if I'd known you'd follow,
I'd be there 'til the end,
just give me strength if you can.
If I'd have known this, God would have jumped up, get in line,
and just give me strength again,
c'mon, just give me strength for all I've done,
Dont let it go, I feel like everyones
Calling my name and im still alone
You Oughta know that I would change
Everything just to sing to you while your alone
And later I'll wade in again, over my head all my mind
I wanted to say what you meant and I'm out of time
I'm useless and stupid, impulsive I had you I let you go
Theres something inside me it stops me I wish I could break its hold
I need to break out of my skin
Throw my heart in the ring
Breakdown and change everything
Before we rush in again
But I'll never chase you or call you up
Just to see where we'd end
I wanted to feel how I felt on that day I met Madeline
I need to break out of my skin
Throw my heart in the ring
Breakdown and change everything
Before we rush in
But I'll never chase you or call you up
Just to see where it ends
I won't let you break
You'll live to fight another day.
All so you feel safe
I'd take a bullet jump a speeding train.
I kick to stay afloat and end this sad song on a happy note
No one else came close to making my heart stop
So you gotta wipe your eyes
Cos there's no use crying
I Know your sick of trying
But you know your day is gonna come
Wipe your eyes
Cos there's no use crying
I Know your sick of trying
But you know your day is gonna come
But you know one day we'll run away
And they will hunt and chase
I will turn this place
Into a playground once again
Say you'll come with
I will try to make you all feel safe
I Know you gotta wipe your eyes,
Cos there's no use crying,
Know your sick of trying
but you know your day is gonna come,
Know your day is gonna come,
Know your day is gonna come,
Know your day is gonna come
You've gotta wipe your eyes
Cos there's no use crying
I Know your sick of trying
But you know your day is gonna come
Wipe your eyes
Cos there's no use crying
I Know your sick of trying
But you know your day is gonna come
Know your day is gonna come
She said I've changed my mind again
You've been spending all my life
Like I don't know what it's for
But now I know the score
And I've changed what I want to be
I'm not here to wait no more
'Cause I've realized it's wrong
For you to take this long
And now, I'm on my way

When all I wanna do is back down, and turn around
And you tell me there's no way that I can't win
So I've been in love before
And now I know the score
Heres my list of all the things I should have said and done
The boats I missed and all the fights I lost I really should have won
And im not the only one
I wont bow or take the world as you would hand it down
So leave me out of all your plans, cos I don't need them now
Ill find my own way out
When you're left with nothing
There's nothing lefts to lose
Words will not come looking for me and you
Once we wanted nothing and everything was real
It was all that I allow
For me and you now
Everybody know that I believe, if you spell it out for me
Spell it out so everyone can see
All that really matters now to me, is I could set you free
My hands are tied and I cant find my feet
Stand by me for long enough
And watch your enemies float down stream one by one until you realised you've reached
Theres no one left but me
When you're left with nothing
Theres nothing lefts to lose
Words will not come looking for me and you
Once we wanted nothing and everything was real
It was all that I allow
For me and you now
Everybody know that I believe if you spell it out for me
Spell it out so everyone can see
All that really matters now to me is I could set you free
My hands are tied and I cant find my feet
This sweet old world, will give it out until its time to leave
I wont hurt for you when all you want is a flawless victory
How wrong could anyone be?
When you're left with nothing
There's nothing lefts to lose
Words will not come looking for me and you
Once we wanted nothing and everything was real
It was all that I allow
For me and you now
Everybody know that I believe if you spell it out for me
Spell it out so everyone can see
All that really matters now to me is I could set you free
Stars are wheeling in the sky, I guard the last of my line
Like a sleeping army I will wait
So drum the devils out your dreams and send them all to meet me
I will lay me down until you're safe
So you'll have nothing to face
Close your eyes and
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all away,
And everything will change
Though the last of your defence would crumble at the first test
I will stop it all from happening
Tomorrow you will rise and sing and never want for anything at all
I will bring, I will bring .
No you'll have nothing to face close your eyes
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all away,
And everything will change
Close your eyes and
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all away
Now if you look how you fight
Standing in a line
Just understand you're safe
Understand that everything will change
If you just
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all away,
Everything will chage understand
I wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all,
Wish 'em all away,
I've had better days
Days when the milk and the honey
It poured into me, yeah
And I've had better times
When I was up on my feet
And not down on my knees, yeah
Now I want me and my
To go where there's milk and there's honey
And take what we need, yeah
Across that finish line
We'll see that we're running for nothing with
No one to beat, yeah
And every day I feel the same thing
That you and I know we'll find our way again
We are all on the same road if you understand
Let's do what we can
And I've had better times
Times when the milk and the honey
It poured like a stream, yeah
And right before my eyes
People were giving into need
And not into greed, yeah
And every day I feel the same thing
That you and I, we will find our way again
We are all on the same road if you understand
Let's do what we can
That's why I say a prayer for you now
I'll say another prayer for you and me
And though I know we'll never hear the answer
I'll say another prayer for you and me
And so I'll say another prayer for you now
I'll say another prayer for you and me
And though I know we'll never hear the answer
I'll say another prayer for you and me, and me
And every day I feel the same thing
That you and I know we'll see those days again
We are all on the same road if you understand
Let's do what we can
And I've had better days
Days when the milk and the honey
When I lost you, I played a part I never really knew
Letting go, was the best thing I could do
Before you turn that knife, you have to say you'll cut me down
And letting go, is effortless now
You found me out
But I can't come down anymore
I'm here till you say it isn't so
I'm in hope
And I can't come down anymore
No, I'm on a road I've never known
And there's no way home
I've found something, I would die from now
I don't feel fit to live
Are you the one it finishes with?
I spend my days thinking of you, praying you would think of me
Was I wrong, to let you just leave me?
But I can't come down anymore
I'm here till you say it isn't so
I'm in hope
And I can't come down anymore
No, I'm on a road I've never known
On my own
And I wanna know, what things you see up close in lies, they dissapear
And I wanna know, if I was just a waste of time for you
I want you to say, if you're with him alone, or someone new,
But I can't come down, til you do.
But I can't come down anymore
Until you say it isn't so
I'm in hope
And I can't come down, anymore
No I'm on a road I've never known
On my own
But I can't come down anymore
And I I can't come down anymore
No I'm on a road Ive never known
When the light at the end of it all is a speeding train
I'll be driving wait for me
Come on make up the weight, 'cause it's never going to stop
Till, I've run all your hurt away
No, don't you feel ashamed if nothing feels right?
How can things improve
If I'm hard on myself and on everyone else?
If it's good enough to shout about
You won't need more time to work it out
Forget what you want get what you need
'Cause you take too long and we're losing speed
It's gonna take time
I've been burned by you so many times
I'll come back for more, you won't shake the light from me
No, I won't feel ashamed if nothing feels right
How can things improve
Why did you run I'll always let leave
You arne't the first to hit and run away from me
As I bounce along the open road
I'm outnumbered and alone
I'm over the moon in ways you won't believe
You say it's too soon for you to know what all this means
If I say that I want all you have
I just want it all back
And though we could have made it last
You've gotta do more than that
You've got to take all you have and pour and pour
You're never gonna see the light
You've got to leave now behind
You're never going to know whats right for what went wrong
So ignore all the facts
And come running straight back to me to me
It's not a wall you've only me to beat
So you took it all and made it far away from me
Now you're out of sight behind these eyes
Next time around
I'm gonna open my eyes, I've been
You've gone too far
You've been murder right from the start
You said we'd never be crow-barred apart
Time, I showed you how wrong you are
Now something that I said must've got your bell ringing
Engulfophobia man, you better make a stand
Go on, lay down your hand
I don't know what the hell you think you're on
Every bright idea you've had is wrong
It makes it easy knowing everyone
Has a smaller version of what I've got
Now something that I said must've got your bell ringing
Engulfophobia man, you better make a stand
Go on, lay down your hand
And you're not immune, no, no one's immune
From the fight that you feel inside
What do you do when you don't get through?
You just run away and hide
And I won't let you drag me down
And you're not immune, no, no one's immune
From the fight you feel inside
What do you do when you don't get through?
You just run away and hide
If I gotta choose then I'm gonna choose
I'm gonna run, run, run for my life
Waterfall, why do you rush through me?
Happiness caught now I'd return but I'm ready to see
I'll follow you on when all else fails
Waterfall lead down, I'm on your trail
Waterfall, why do you rush so fast?
Happiness caught now I'd return but I'm ready to ask
I'll follow you on when all else fails
Waterfall lead on, I'm on your trail
And I can't believe it and all my life is changing lanes
All I know is it's always there
I'll follow you on when all else fails
Waterfall I'm on your trail
I'll follow you down when all else fails
'Cos I can't look at life, I know what I feel
And now my life is run and no one else knows what I want
Look before you leap
Cause then you'll see what everybody sees
You see the other side is out of reach
It's nothing you can change
And everything won't work out in the end
You realise the world is not your friend
There's nothing that you've broken you can mend
On this new day, I found my fate
You know you'd better look before you leap again
On this new day, I found my place
You know you'd better look before you leap again
Stop before you rush
Before you try to make that final push
You know your best will never be enough
It's nothing you can change
And I will sit here watching as you chase
Knowing that it's fools gold all the way
Saying you should leave it all to fate
Its up to you, on this new day
All the seeds you've sown you should have thrown away
Nothing will grow, you're in the shade
And you will stay there alone
On this new day, I found my fate
You know you'd better look before you leap again
On this new day, I found my place
You know you'd better look before you leap again
You've gotta make them see it
You've gotta make them feel it
You've gotta make them see it
See you mean it
Break the ceiling, break these demons
Just keep dreaming
Just keep on breathing
You've gotta break the ceiling, break these demons
Just keep dreaming
Keep on breathing
You've gotta fight these feelings
Like the sound of tapping from a sinking ship
I never thought we'd come to this such a calm and silent scene
With the shots still ringing in my ears so clearly now
Hit the brakes and we spun out no one heard a thing, no
I'm blessed if I know anything at all
If I know anything I know, I've been blessed
How long could they lead you so far from the light?
I never want to let them try
All this noise I'm nineteen, I'm twenty-two
In between I'm blessed with you rubber necking past the scene
With the shots still ringing we get up, your ghost and me
Leave behind our victory while they fight for it, no
I'm blessed if I know anything at all
If I know anything I know, I've been blessed
How long can they lead you so far from the light?
Many would learn and many would hurt
And many would chase you away
And many would fear but I'm not here to run
When things go astray
And many would learn and many would turn
And many would run for their lives
But I'm not them I'll dig in
I'll always be there by your side
Away way down
One day my heart will leap and you will dance for joy
And not reach for the phone the pills or the tape
Cause you're as honest as a car wreck
And sirens never love
They just sing and lure your swimming soul away
Down with your mistakes
Away away down
By twist of fate an hour too late
I come to my senses again
But you're not here just cold and near
I've always been whole-hearted
But it would take a saint to understand
And so they had me martyred so I'd find out
The sky explodes above us
And I know there's no other one but you
I know I only touched the surface but I found out
And I won't leave before an army makes me run
Big fish eat the little ones
You and me we're sainted
Don't let them break your soul
The chemicals have started
They stop me finding anybody new
Why was I your target, do I stand out?
The stars were shining for us
And I know there's no-one above but you
I'm rolling with the punches, I won't lie down
And I won't leave before an army makes me run
Big fish eat the little ones
You and me we're sainted
Don't let them break your soul
Roll the dice, cause nothing's ever sure in life
Even though the stakes are high, we're already sainted
But You're the first, I know it cause I'm fit to burst
I know it cause my halo hurts, I feel like I've been sainted
And I won't leave before an army makes me run,
Big fish eat the little ones,
You and me we're sainted,
All the signs were there for me to see,
If I cry out with fear I'll feel more afraid,
So beat the sense back into me,
Cos you are like forbidden fruit out of my reach
And I forgot what I had sometimes
But if everyone has there shot and moves on
And you can't get out the way
Well it's you wonder will save
You were mine and now you're mine to want
And I knew if you'd cut the cord rush like balloons I'd fall
It's criminal to pause
As you basked in the seas applause I had it all
And I forgot what I had, sometimes
But if everyone has there shot and moves on
And you can't get out the way
And it's all for the best it's all a lie
That everyone has their day
Cos if everyone has their shot and moves on
And you just get in the way
Well it's you wonder will save
La,la,la,
La,la,la,
La,la,la...etc
Don't let them make you feel small with their hands like guns at your head,
They'll claw but they'll never win if you let wonder in...
Cos if everyone has their shot and moves on
And you can't get out the way
And it's all for the best it's all a lie
And everyone has their day
Cos if everyone has their shot and moves on
And you just get out the way
Well it's you wonder will save
Cos if everyone has there shot and moves on
And you can't get out the way
And it's all for the best it's all a lie
And everyone has their day
But if everyone has their shot and moves on
And you just get out the way
Well it's you wonder will save
Yeah it's you wonder will save
three is the magic number
yes it is its a magic number
Somewhere in this ancient mystic trinity
you got 3 as a magic number
the past and the present and the future
Faith and hope and charity
The heart and the brain and the body
give you three as a magic number
Takes three legs to make a tripod and to make a table stand
Takes three wheels to make a vehicle called a tricycle
Every triangle has three corners, every triangle has three sides
No more no less you don't have to guess
when its three you can see its a magic number
A man and a woman had a little baby, yes they did,
They had three in the family and that's a magic number
whaoo
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30
3 6 9
12 15 18
21 24 27
30
now the multiples of three come up three times in each set of ten
in the first ten you get 3 6 9
and in the teens ten you get 12 15 18
and in the twenties you get a 21 24 27
and they go down even on 30
Now multiply backwards from 3 time 10
3 times 10 is 30
3 times 9 is 27
3 times 8 is 24
3 times 7 is 21
3 times 6 is 18
3 times 5 is 15
3 times 4 is 12
and
3 times 3 is 9
3 times 2 is 6
and
3 times 1 is 3 of course
now repeat the whole pack again
(3) 3 6 9
(12)12 15 18
(21) 21 24 27
(30) 30
Now multiply backwards from 3 time 10
3 times 10 is 30
3 times 9 is 27
3 times 8 is 24
3 times 7 is 21
3 times 6 is 18
3 times 5 is 15
3 times 4 is 12
and
3 times 3 is 9
3 times 2 is 6
and
3 times 1 is the magic number
A man and a woman had a little baby, yes they did,
They had three in the family and thats a magic number
You're the first in my life
To make me think that we might just go all the way
And I want you to know we're all hanging on.
They'll come, and yes they'll try
To break us down
But we know that we'll never lose
If we keep moving forward
And don't look back.
With the world at your feet
There's no one you can't beat,
Yes it can be done.
With the world at your feet
There's no height you can't reach,
This could be the one.
It's calling,
It's calling you now,
You know it's gonna be your time
'Cause the world is at your feet,
Yeah, the world is at your feet.
Like stars in the sky,
Burning bright,
Seen by a billion eyes,
No, I want you to know
We're all turned your way.
With the world at your feet
There's no one you can't beat,
Yes it can be done.
With the world at your feet
There's no height you can't reach,
This could be the one.
It's calling,
It's calling you now,
You know it's gonna be your time
'Cause the world is at your feet,
Yeah, the world is at your --
With the world at your feet
There's no one you can't beat,
Yes it can be done.
With the world at your feet
There's no height you can't reach,
This could be the one.
You'll lift it up with one proud kiss,
There's nothing else that feels like this.
So lift your arms and everyone sing.
With the world at your feet
There's no one you can't beat,
Yes it can be done.
With the world at your feet
There's no height you can't reach,
This could be the one.
It's calling,
It's calling you now,
You know it's gonna be your time
'Cause the world is at your feet,
I don't want to stay forever
Lift a hand to make you better
You don't amount to anything this time
Give it in, before you lose control again
And now we'll never be the same
You amount to nothing and you're never around
Say you feel the way I do
Everything is beautiful outside tonight
I know it's all over, it's alright
You're gonna change the way you say my name
It's for the best, for the rest of my life
You don't want to learn your lesson
Bow your head to someone better
Loneliness will have to see you right
Let me win, before I lose control again
No you'll never make the grade
Don't amount to anything, not in my life
Say you feel the way I do
Everything is beautiful outside tonight
I know it's all over, it's alright
You're gonna change the way you say my name
How many times people
How many times people
Too many times
Now that your god forsakes it
How are you gonna make it into the light
I know you wanna shake me
But as you try to break me
You bring me to life
If you'd a spine you'd face it
All of the might you've wasted
Too many times
Now the damage is done
I will darken your door
No the truth it don't glitter and shine
With you on my back
I will have the last laugh
Make you wish that you'd never told lies
Wherever you are wherever you stay
I will be there lying waiting all day all day
How many straws break it
How many wrongs make it
Make it a right
Only the wise like you
Could let the blind lead you
Too many times
Now the damage is done
I will darken your door
No the truth it don't glitter and shine
With you on my back
I will have the last laugh
Make you wish that you'd never told lies
Wherever you are
Whatever you say
I believe
I made my point: we think too differently
it seems, to me,
that you and me,
We spend our lives on different frequencies,
We can't agree.
And I fall in line,
Nothing that you say is gonna change my mind,
There is nothing left until I fall in line,
Nothing that you say is gonna change my mind.
It's been a week,
I know it's sin but I feel differently
now I'm released,
'cause memories -
the good ones stick, the bad ones up and leave
to win next week.
And I fall in line,
Nothing that you say is gonna change my mind,
There is nothing left and so I fall in line,
Nothing that you say is gonna change my mind.
I will wake
for you to come and have your final say,
It's not too late,
I don't need time
To see if this hurts
All of my words
Will get you first
The last of my lines
Is leaving with you
And I don't need time
To see it come true
All that good work
Leaving with you
I found a home
For the truth
Now that everything I own
Lies before me where it's thrown
And the life I've never known
Seems so hollow
You've taken everything
That you want from me
I won't fight
I can not feel bad anymore
Right out of sight
Behind these eyes
She's gonna stay
Until that time
I found a home
Welcome through
Now that everything I own
Lies before me where it's thrown
And the life I've never known
Seems so hollow
Now that everything I own
Lies before me where it's thrown
I've been rumbled
I've been thrown
I'm so hollow
You've taken everything
That you want from me
I won't fight
We're both unarmed
I won't take another trip
On that lonely ship
Gone too far
COLLIDE
Collide, collide
I break down the door
to get at you and glass covers the floor
And each and every piece reflects a side,
the side of you with me that still would fight
Oh girl, I could have stayed with you forever,
and never realised the time
To bring some things to life,
others must be chopped and left to die
Memories are salt rubbed in my eyes,
my love is like a bird, with dreams he'll fly
Collide, I can't believe that we're so un-alive
Collide, The broken glass reflects a million sides
Collide, I should have known that we were gonna fight
Collide, What else could I see?
You dream, I lie awake,
and every time I push you pull away
My foot was on the gas, you hit the breaks,
Deliver Me
I wish, I had a time when I could do all this
Just give me one last wish,
and make it come true so I get a rest
I wish I had you on my side,
I miss my life just being a ride
I wish I'd seen you in July,
I'd say it's time that you
Deliver me,
now I know what being without you means
Now now now,
won't you come deliver me,
and come and take me where you're going to be
I need more time,
to clean my system of it's lows and highs
With your little white lies,
I was gonna let you down,
Every time you ever doubt,
I was gonna say aloud
I could never let you down,
But I know the lies have changed,
Everybody rearranged,
Now I don't, do ya?
I was gonna give you all,
Everything I had and more,
I was gonna stay the course,
Now I've got enough for yours,
Everybody stays the time
just as I believe it's mine,
But you don't, do ya?
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
And I won't change any more (any more),
Just believe in yourself.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
And each time, I know that
I want it, it all away
Ooooh,
Each time I hold ya
I feel like I can stay.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
I was gonna let you down,
I was gonna give you love,
Everything you wanna find,
It feels like glue I'm in
And part of me died and made you king
Of all you see
And all I know now
Is I never grieved
It's never been in me
So get out of the fast lane if you see me
I'm heading your way and I'm speeding
I didn't know the dice was rolling
'Til my luck ran out
So get out of the fast lane if you see me
I'm heading your way and I'm speeding
And I didn't know the dice was rolling
'Til my luck ran out again
It feels like glue I'm in and life is hell
It's always happening to someone else
And all I know now is I stayed myself
Whenever it came to it
So get out of the fast lane if you see me
I'm heading your way and I'm speeding
I didn't know the dice was rolling
'Til my luck ran out
So get out of the fast lane if you see me
I'm heading your way and I'm speeding
And I didn't know the dice was rolling
'Til my luck ran out again
And you light up my life
When you stand at my side
And you know but you don't let go it's always in your mind
It's you I've found
It's you I've found
So get out of the fast lane if you see me
I'm heading your way and I'm speeding
I didn't know the dice was rolling
'Til my luck ran out
So get out of the fast lane if you see me
I'm heading your way and I'm speeding
And I didn't know the dice was rolling
'Til my luck ran out again
Everyday is like a new beginning
When you're winning
And the whole world's at your feet
It never lasts if you're living for the past, come on
Take my hand, I'll lead you on
Everytime I see it getting clearer
As it comes nearer
That's when I know I'll feel the same
I must confess instant feelings make a mess, come on
Bring it 'round, I'll take it on
So we keep giving in
Everytime that we win
'Cause we know it's never gonna last
No we keep giving in
Everytime it's the same
'Cause we know the meaning will not last
We've been there before
And a million of you will not change that point of view no, no
Everyday you think that you can beat me
You won't beat me
I'll come back with more to spare
It's nothing new, no one's got a thing to prove, come on
Gather 'round, I'll show you all
That we keep giving in
Everytime that we win
'Cause we know it's never gonna last
No we keep giving in
Everytime it's the same
'Cause we know that meaning will not last
No we keep giving in
Everytime that we win
'Cause we know it's never gonna last
No we keep giving in
Everytime it's the same
'Cause we know that meaning will not last
We've been there before
And a million of you will not change our point of view no, no
No, no
No a million of you will not change our point of view no, no
No, no
I believe
I made my point: we think too differently
it seems, to me,
that you and me,
We spend our lives on different frequencies,
We can't agree.
And I fall in line,
Nothing that you say is gonna change my mind,
There is nothing left until I fall in line,
Nothing that you say is gonna change my mind.
It's been a week,
I know it's sin but I feel differently
now I'm released,
'cause memories -
the good ones stick, the bad ones up and leave
to win next week.
And I fall in line,
Nothing that you say is gonna change my mind,
There is nothing left and so I fall in line,
Nothing that you say is gonna change my mind.
I will wake
for you to come and have your final say,
It's not too late,
It's not too late.
Come back to what you know
Take everything real slow
I wanna lose you but I can't let you go
Before you interfere
Let me make it loud and clear
That you got no more to prove, I'm a fool
So take it easy on yourself
There's nothing new about
Regretting how you felt
I'll never let you down
Or ever feel the way
That I've been fearing now
I'm coming back to what you know won't mean a thing
Everything that you've done keeps you from me
Now I know that I need more time
Come back and let me see you're right
I'm coming back to what you know
'Cos I know that I need it, now it's gone
Now I know that I need more time
Come back and let me see you're right
So hang on to what you've got, keep it safe
Hang on to what you've got
Keep it safe from harm
You'll find there's nothing new that we can't leave behind
Come back to what you know
Take everything real slow
I wanna lose you but I got far too high
To let go, now the demon in me knows
What I knew so long ago
I'm coming back to what you know won't mean a thing
Everything that you've done keeps you from me
Now I know that I need more time
Come back and let me see you're right
I'm coming back to what you know
'Cos I know that I need it, now it's gone
Now I know that I need more time
Come back and let me see you're right
So hang on to what you've got, keep it safe
Hang on to what you've got
Keep it safe from harm
We got time, we got time
I'm coming back to what you know won't mean a thing
Everything that you've done keeps you from me
Now I know that I need more time
Come back and let me see you're right
I'm coming back to what you know
'Cos I know that I need it, now it's gone
Now I know that I need more time
Come back and let me see you're right
Come back to what you know
Take everything real slow
I tried to lose you but I got far too close
Dirty streets are filled with suits and televisions
The smell cuts a glass shore under the season
Heads roll down the hill and father keeps it still
The sickness is trying to sit with me
Man knows god is resoluting pain for mercy
A new age of silence calls in the sun
No sound or song shines like the sun
There's peace in in the mountains where an old man sits in the warm sun
His own best friend, better he once was, he does not take sweets he takes all the money
The motions not a hint of a smile to be found
His back keeps turning never looking out for me
I'll scream for peace in the mountain range
I know that we've been through this before
We are the souls of a dying race
I'll tell all the kids we'll burn in hell
I'll scream for peace in the mountain range
I suppose I'm naive
But I find it hard to believe
A person could make
Life so cheap
It's worth nothing today
Because you threw it away
Self-indulgence took
You too deep
In a whole lot of nothing
You got up and went
Leaving behind all the
People you spent
I guess they could call you
A friend
You took them for a ride to
The very end
What a waste
So in the end you didn't have
No friends
Because they sat and watched
You die
A lot of bridges burned with no
Lessons learned
But plenty of reasons to cry
No communication
Complete separation
No talk, no chance to help
I am guilty
I failed you
As a person who should have cared
I shut my mouth
Because I was scared
I hid my feelings
When they should've been bared
I turned you off
I spend my days thinking of you
I spend my days thinking of you
And all weve done
Praying you'll never think of me
When you left my side I took your freedom as a sign
And left the past in flames behind me, yeah
Cause I'd much sooner owe you for all you've done
Than ever bow down for you
Find the will to hit and thats when you'll get your stick
You keep your clinging fingers off me, yeah
Everybody gets to breed
Every Adam every Eve
But the way that we lost out now
Is to do it differently
I want her and you want free
That's the way that we lost out, you
Do do do...
If you can't bring it with you then don't you call
No you're not gonna find it here
And the awful weight spread across me when I wake
Is your loving arm around me, yeah
Everybody gets to breed
Every Adam every Eve
But the way that we lost out now
Is to do it differently
I want her and you want free
That's the way that we lost out, you
Whenever you reach up to the stars
Hold on to your head it won't take long
Until you can see the doubt
In the people you've leaned on
But angels rush in where all those fools
Fear to tread, afraid they'd lose
But you never lost you're beauty
Although you lost your hope
And you made no mistake
You couldn't wash away
With liars tears
Pouring down your face
Whenever we meet, you say you've changed
Like its some gift, you're not the same
But you're just the cat whose landed
Back on her feet again
'Cause you made no mistake
That can't be washed away
With liars tears
Pouring down your face
With liars tears
On a night when
Every line is a curse
I thought I'd save you
I keep making it worse
I would give everything I own
For what it takes
I would give everything I own
For the love it takes
I won't leave you
All you have is that spell
Cast it will you
Make me glad, make me well
I would give everything I own
For what it takes
I would give everything I own
For what it takes
I will try and leave it all behind
And go for what it takes to let it show
But there's reasons you can't see
You will be the end of me, with the feelings I can't feel
'Cos when I needed someone you left me floored
That feeling has gone, I can't let go
You know that I'd change if I had the love it takes
When I needed someone you left me floored
That feeling has gone, I can't let go
You know that I'd change if I had the love it takes
The love it takes
The love it takes
The love it takes
Well you can do it in your sleep and then you worry for a week
But with the magic up your sleeve
Everybody's falling at your feet, everybody's falling at your feet
But the liar gets the part 'cos the honest go too far
So when they laugh don't take it to heart
You made a plastiscenic work of art, a plastiscenic work of art
Save me, save me from the lies I've got in my mind
'Cos it's hard enough to see you're good on the inside
And the leaving when it works, the hardest to time
When your dealing in the dirt and healing the blind
You're looking down that telescope from the only end you know
Where life is big and we're still close
Everybody gets a second go, everybody gets another go
Save me, save me from the lies I've got in my mind
'Cos it's hard enough to see you're good on the inside
And the leaving when it works, the hardest to time
When your dealing in the dirt and healing the blind
Save me, save me from the lies I've got in my mind
'Cos it's hard enough to see you're good on the inside
And the leaving when it works, the hardest to time
When your dealing in the dirt and healing the blind
Save me, save me from the lies I've got in my mind
'Cos it's hard enough to see you're good on the inside
And the leaving when it works, the hardest to time
When your dealing in the dirt and healing the blind
No you're not alone
cause everybody's out there on there own
but you are one of the seeds

Stranger You Ever Stole A Win Off The Jaws Of Defeat

We're Never Gonna Know Your Place,

We've Saved Our Time For Living,
And We Aren't Gonna Take Any Shit Anymore

You Have Always Been Too Down On Yourself For Your Years
You Want To Bow And Take It
But We Free Dinner Kids With The Big ideas
We'll Always Take The Stick While Ignoring The Fear
That We Could Give It In
And We Know What You Are Doing
And Its Too Late To Change Now That We've Hit The Floor

And We Aren't Gonna Take Any Shit Anymore
No We Aren't Gonna Take Any Shit Anymore
So Suck Your Evil In

So Suck Your Evil In
Hey, what you trying to say
Because the giants that I've left behind
Won't overshadow me
So hey, what you trying to mend
When the magic of the first is feeling
Like it could never end
And stars remind you
You see the best in the dark
And every time I see your eyes
You can't deny it cause they say
What you're trying to say
So hey, what you trying to lose
What you can't describe you try to hide
No one ever tells the truth
So hey, what you trying to say
Do you ask you if you need me
As you say it's all okay
Stars remind you
You see the best in the dark
And every time I see your eyes
You can't hide
? Cause I know how you feel
And every time you use that mouth
Everything I hear will always let me down
Cause all I hear is words
Every time you make a sound
Promises and worse
You'll always let me down
Hey, what you trying to say
Because the giants that I've left behind
Won't overshadow me
Hey, what you trying to mend
When the magic of the first time is the feeling
I'd kill anyhting that flaps around your head darling
We had so much I don't know where it went god can
Strike me down if I'm wrong I'll repent saying
That happiness will get you in the end darling
Some physcic gave me words I've come to dread she said
That happiness would come to you again oh yeah
Your fall will break your splashing heart can mend knowing
That happiness will get you in the end
And my mind is like a maze
And I know the way all around that maze
With you next to me
But I can't find my way out with you around please stay
Those tear stained letters you returned unread saying
That happiness has come to you again oh yes
And all good things must reach there rotten end darling
But happiness will get you in the end
Oh happiness will get you in the end
Throw me a line and I'll bring you the hook that caught me
You reel me in to where I cannot breathe
Throw me back and jump in after me
It's happened before but I'll see you're never betrayed
No wrongs to cure or fears to beat away
And though I'll run I'll never run away
I know you think that we're all the same and you say
That you'll love when love comes you're way but today
We've both got time to spend not waste
If you've never been in love with anything
Why do you stop it now it's happening
And though you know it now you won't admit
You've ever been in love with anything
Never before have I had somebody so close
I'm lying here wondering why you let me go
You drive your life like it's a car you stole
You need to be told that you can only live the one life
Forever starts before the day you die
If it gets hard just take it in your stride
If you could see the bad in youself when you see
All the bad in everyone else and me
When you're lost in the dark undermined
And every situation makes it's mark know i won't hide
No pedestals too high for me to climb
One day I'll reach the top with you
And they'll shoot me down for looking at the view
It's a sign of the times
I know there's a reason for doubt
I just hope you're happy now
You don't get lost in the dark when you shine
And each day their reflections get them back so I wont try
I'm sick of keeping track of all their lies
For all my crimes I've paid my due
And they shoot me down for looking at the view
And it's a sign of the times
I know there's a reason for doubt
I just hope you're happy now
You've got your way
I can't believe there isn't more to say
Than it's a sign of the times
I know there's a reason for doubt
I just hope you're happy now
Before you turn the knife won't you cut me down
Cause this feeling won't run out of me
You drag yourself over the coals
I know you're sorry to go
But when all you can do is say so
I know it's over
I won't waste one more hour of my life
I know some people would cry
Well, it's funny that none spring to mind
Now it's over
And I know that this feeling won't last
I know that this feeling won't last
Time after time after time
There's never reason in your rhyme
I'm just trying to feel one last goodbye
Now it's over
And I'd shake some sense into us both
I was the last one you told
Why does no one say shit till it shows?
Now it's over
And I know that this feeling won't last
And I know that this feeling won't last
The sun, it shines on me
So I tell myself for a hope in this hell
these walls that we build save me from myself.
in exchange of life for blood i am justified purified made right in your eyes.
for you justified by faith alone in you purified by grace alone.
forgoing the stain of pride with knowing our pain subsides.
we build the walls.
i feel the bite of this world
but i cling to you even under persecution in this world that i hate,
(R Gibb)
I don't know what you want, I don't hear what you said
Truth behind the lies
'Cause I can't see what's in your head
And spread your wings and fly, out in a brave new world
Let this be my prayer, to keep you safe when I'm not there
Can we love and live apart, I don't know,no, I don't know
How can we divide the heart, I don't know, no, I don't know
And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace
And in the cold night, under the street light
I long for your embrace
Living separate lives, I have faith in you, away from you
Like a lonely child, I will hang on every word
Embrace
Through the mists of time, lovers can be friends
The power of the human heart
The secrets in the souls of men
All my blessings in disguise
I don't know, no, I don't know
Reunited we will rise
I don't know, no, I don't know
And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace
And in the cold night, under the street light
I long for your embrace
Living separate lives, I have faith in you, away from you
Like a lonely child, I will hang on every word
And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace
Another daybreak, another heartache
I long for your embrace
Living separate lives
Away from you
Embrace, embrace
The lonely, lonely life
Lonely days and nights
We can live our life
Embrace, embrace
With our separate lives
Embrace, embrace
The lonely, lonely lives
Lonely days and nights
I will never send away
Embrace, embrace
The lonely, lonely lives
Embrace the child inside
The lonely, lonely lives
Birds end their song,
Only you compare,
Only you know where they're gone.
Clutch the final straw,
Break it in your hand,
No one understands it's yours.
Now don't let go, never let go again,
Now cause if you must go, won't you go down in flames.
Celebrate and everything will change,
You're swimming with the hook,
that's why everybody looks your way,
Celebrate and let those demons race,
You were never fake, nobody could take your place.
Can't make time stand still,
But you can make it run,
You can make it bend at will.
Sparks will light your trail,
You were never lost,
You were only off the scale.
Now don't let go, never let go again,
Now cause if you must go, won't you go down in flames.
Celebrate and everything will change,
You're swimming with the hook,
that's why everybody looks your way,
Celebrate and let those demons race,
You were never fake, nobody could take your place.
You were never fake, nobody could take your place.
You've gotta say yes
How can you have doubts
The views too good to jump
Now let me talk you down
Yeah, come on
Like butter wouldn't melt in your mouth
Now you've done us proud
'Cause you, you're not with us
You please yourself, self, self
Yeah, come on
With your foolish lies and your alibis
I can see my work's almost done
I won't stand aside as you wash your life
Down the drain before its begun
You, you know better, yeah, you're hooked
And you're fucked without me
You've gotta say yes
Try an' pull on your doubts
The views too good to jump
Now let me talk you down
Yeah, come on
With your foolish lies and your alibis
I can see my work's almost done
I won't stand aside as you wash your life
Down the drain before its begun
With your foolish lies and your foolish pride
I can see my work's almost done
I won't stand aside as you wash your life
Down the drain, before it's begun
'Cause you, you know better, yeah, you're hooked
And you're fucked without me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's the way I feel, it's the way I feel
I'm in yer hand do as we planned
Show me the way you kneel
Don't you kneel, it's the way I feel
Hungry for thirst, full fit to burst give me a go at the wheel
'Cause I, I just don't know which way I should turn
Look around my friend leave them all behind
I'm gonna take a look at all the things I find
So take a bow leave me out
It's the way I feel, it's the way I feel
I'm in yer hand do as we planned
Show me the way you kneel
Don't you kneel, it's the way I feel
Hungry for thirst, full fit to burst give me, give me a go at the wheel

When they should've been bared
I turned you off
With every single step I take I'm leaving
Will you get your story told
Stealing light from falling stars
The devil that you know knows where you are
Sell your soul, you'll go far
You've only got to stop to make it easy
We were born without the brakes
What we like we say we like
Like when you should hate and make your name
If I seem down then look again
You've got to stop to make it better
And you don't feel it so you do it again
I don't need your labels
Don't blame yourself the wrong's in me
You're everything you could've been
I'm just lost 'cause I can't meet your needs
So the scripted conversation ends
And all that's left in my defense
Is knowing we were never meant to be
That's why it's you I'll make it for
That's why it's you I'll make it for
That's why it's you I'll make it for
That's why it's you I'll make it for
There's always room for the one who's left
It never helps to go too fast
Spend your lifetime looking back at him
I don't need another look at you
To realize you're living proof
Of everything I need to lose again
That's why it's you I'll make it for
That's why it's you I'll make it for
That's why it's you I'll make it for
That's why it's you I'll make it for
That's why it's you I'll make it for
That's why it's you I'll make it for
That's why it's you I'll make it for
That's why it's you I'll make it for
That's why it's you I'll make it for
Remember me
when the circus comes to town
and you're welcomed in, but can't get out
and no one hears you shout
remember me
remember me
cause i'm drying, lost at sea
for a day that won't be happening
as you turn away, i hear you say
you remember me
remember me
Chorus
love - when your chemicals take hold
love - but you don't know where it goes
love - will you try to crack the code
as you sow you reap
remember me
remember me
when you thought you'd never sink
look around and see the hole you're in
no one's there to help you lift the lid
just remember me
don't say you will
cause you know that you really won't
that you care, cause you should when you know you don't
what you sow you reap
remember me
chorus
and when you're scared
of just how sweet this life can be
and you're deafened by your inner peace
just say before you're beat
that you remember me
Power lines go left and right
Sometimes I wonder if this city's just a maze
And I'm lost in it
Lately it's green to red
And I just can't stop thinking bout
What you said
I don't wanna let you go
But you need to learn to fly
I just wanna let you know
You only have one life to try to find out
What it means to be alive
I hope you find your home
I keep hoping somethings up your sleeve
You gotta give me something
To birth some belief
Lately it's hard for me to sleep
You know it's funny
When I'm awake
I feel like I'm dreaming, dreaming
I don't wanna let you go
But you need to learn to fly
I just wanna let you know
You only have one life to try to find out
What it means to be alive
I hope you find your home
Don't you block out the sun
Don't you block out the sunshine[x2]
I don't wanna let you go
But you need to learn to fly
I just wanna let you know
You only have one life to try to find out
What it means to be alive
I hope you find your home
Don't waste a lifetime just to know
It's a perfect beginning
But it happens that way
Who's the one that you're killing
I want his name
I read the news and they lied about you
They missed the point of it all
I never knew that much to be with your name
Must be a fortunate demon
Embrace me
Don't break me
'Cause this is all I wanted
It's like a dream to be happy
I never thought this far
And all the sweet desperation
I want it all
I read the news and they lied about you
They missed the point of it all
I never knew that much to be with your name
Get ready for the judge in me
He's coming over
Get on your feet
All my goodness is all I got for you

Parked car
This night sky
Makes city lights shine like diamonds
our song plays on the radio.
We’re living it up
Make this night ours
We own the world
I wish this lasts forever
Alone with you tonight
Further in you feels so right.
Parked car
This night sky
Makes city lights shine like diamonds
our song plays on the radio.
We're giving it up and just a little more
This heartfelt leap I surrender
With arms raised tonight.
We're giving it up and just a little more
This heartfelt leap I surrender
With arms raised tonight.
Drive me away
cuz the night just feels right
take me away with you tonight
anywhere with you.
Drive me away
cuz the night just feels right
take me away with you tonight
anywhere with you.
Parked car
This night sky
Parked car
This night sky
Makes city lights shine like diamonds
our song plays on
our song plays on
our song plays on
our song plays on (continuous)
Parked car, night sky
Alone with you tonight…
Parked car, night sky
Alone with you tonight… (continuous)
Takes this soul of mine
To see you, you burst my heart, I'll find
There's a silver lining you don't see
End it soon, clean and pure
And I won't hurt no more
Because I had the time of my life for sure
It is true a mountain like you
Ought to see which way they are going
What you've never dreamed you can't lose
So stay so clean and pure
Enjoy, don't hurt no more
'Cause I won't see your smiling face
But I won't see your smiling fade
And know I'd the time of my life that day
Surely we could carry on
When you're left behind with no good reason
It's a shame but the feeling's never gone
Don't you know that I, I had, had a time?
Surely we could carry on
When you're left behind with no good reason
It's a shame but the feeling's never gone
Don't you know that I, I had, had a time?
Know that I
Went as high
As I could go on my first time.
Where's the fun
If your feelings are left behind.
But its your right
when you mean it
To find the proof
And make me hear it
Cos when I'm wrong
I don't see it anymore.
Cos I feel like a fake when I feel
Any feeling
And I wouldn't wanna happen to you
Cos I know you mean it.
You have a laugh when you let go
It makes a big unwanted sideshow.
Why count the times
That you feel low
When you shine.
Cos you're stone cold wise
And I'm in
To what you're doing
And I wouldn't wanna happen to you
Cos I could never climb the walls you'd walk through
But its the smiling lies that always come
To make you feel that I'm the one for you.
I know you feel like you've spent you're whole life
With people trying to keep you in your place.
Well no-one knows you no better than me
When I say
No, no, no, no
I wouldn't wanna happen to you
Cos I can't bear to climb the walls you walk through.
But its the smiling lies that always come
To make you feel that I belong with you.
You pinned your hopes on me
like I'm all you'll find
But I wouldn't wanna happen to you this time
Yeah
I've gone away, yeah
I can see a time when I
Won't be able to
Feel the pain no more
And I can leave this town for other shores
'Cause I could never make it last
Or ever understand
What you'd keep me for when I'd
Turn evil in your hands
Singing all they have is drawn from memory
I've got you and tomorrow
You can steal the scene but you're blind
And the magic will leave you feeling hollow
The girl that I could never hurt
Had to go and lose
All that power over me
And I claimed victory
Singing all they have is drawn from memory
I've got you and tomorrow
You can steal the scene but you're blind
And the magic will leave you feeling hollow
Singing all they have is drawn from memory
I've got you and tomorrow
You can steal the scene but you're blind
And the magic will leave you feeling hollow
So innocent that sweet look in your eyes
No hate nor fear could open
You blessed a part of me
Without knowing
And it strikes me that I could cry and the thought
Of me crying will start me laughing
You blessed a part of me
Don't try to beat 'em up
Just call them all aboard
'Cause when your bark is gone
You're gonna take 'em all head on
Your faith is running low
It's too bad you'll never know
But don't be a fool again
'Cause they're just hooligans
Don't try and save them all
Just try and break their fall
You want to live among
So don't try and right their wrongs
Bad news is twice around the world
When good is found
So don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't try and lead the race
Like it's a life you saved
'Cause you're all in my face
Like you're from outer space
And though you make 'em laugh
You won't beat the smile you have
So don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
So don't be a fool again
Don't be a hooligan
You've tried your best to win
Now get on board your wings
Don't think of paying back
Just keep your soul intact
Don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't be a fool again
The water washes all the souls beneath it
It covers all the ones who are afraid
And though they seem to run away
They know they're coming home one day
Will they know you're with them all the way
For every moment
They woke up in silence
For every time they felt the rain on their face
For every instant
They look up to heaven
It's just another chance to feel your embrace
A soldier takes a picture of his family
He prays he'll make it safe home every night
All the time he's been away
He knows he's coming home one day
To see his family's faces one more time
For every moment
He woke up in silence
For every time he felt the rain on his face
For every instant
He looks up to heaven
It's just another chance to feel your embrace
I can feel you raining down
As your blood runs from your brow
I can feel you raining down
As some blood runds from your brow
All this time
I sat there listening
No one cared about it but me
So I know i'll never be alone
For every moment
I woke up in silence
For every time I felt the rain on his face
For every instant
I look up to heaven
It's just another chance to feel Your embrace
Blood running down
Blood running down
Is just another chance to feel You
I always feel more near
Every moment I look up to Heven
Birds end their song
Only you compare, Only you know where they're gone
Clutch the final straw
Break it in your hand, no-one understands it's yours
Now don't let go, never let it go again
Now cause if you must go, won't you go down in flames
Celebrate and everything will change
You're swimming with the hook
that's why everybody looks your way
Celebrate and let those demons race
You were never fake, nobody could take your place
Can't make time stand still
But you can make it runm You can make it bend at will
Sparks will light your trail
You were never lost, You were only off the scale
Now don't let go, never let it go again
Now cause if you must go, won't you go down in flames
Celebrate and everything will change
You're swimming with the hook
that's why everybody looks your way
Celebrate and let those demons race
You were never fake, nobody could take your place
You were never fake, nobody could take your place
I can't believe it's all the same
I can't believe we fill our lives with all these trials and errors on our way
But I'll be there, I'll be there
I should have never shown my hand
But look outside and dream it's only when you look inside you'll understand
And I'll be there, I'll be there
Say the end is near whenever you draw near
The end is near, ohh
Say the end is near whenever you draw near
The end is near
The moon will flicker in the sky
Like a film projector I have seen this scene a hundred million times
But I'll be there, I'll be there
Say the end is near whenever you draw near
The end is near, ohh
Say the end is near whenver you draw near
The end is near
Say the end is near whenever you draw near
The end is near. ohh
Say the end is near whenever you draw near
The end is near
Say the end is near
I know you hope the little people don't exist
I know you hope we'll fight and miss
I know you hope it's never gonna come to it
Now you know that you're at risk
When you set me up
Put me where I'd do most harm
And you tried your luck
And now it's time for you to learn
Cause I will break your rubble
Into even smaller stones
Yes, I will burst your bubble
And then laugh at what I've done
I know you'll fight for what I'm gladly offering
I backed them cause I knew you'd win
I know that we're all cousins under our skin
But now that doesn't mean a thing
Cause I will break your rubble
Into even smaller stones
Yes, I will burst your bubble
Bright explosion in the sky
A light that burn my eyes
Make me come alive
I thought I'd see the sign
Pray that I was right
As tears from my eyes
Blurred the scene
Now a sign inside me burns, bleaching all my bones
And the rising smoke
Will carry me away
To another place, I never lost my faith
Just my way
Cause I exploded into life that day,
I'll never look back, I'll never look back
Dark is flowing through the cracks
There is no turning back
Or giving into doubt
I held my candle out
For forty days and nights
Like a firefly
In the big black sky
Cause I exploded into life that day
I'll never look back, I'll never look back
And no-one can take these feelings away
I'll never go back, I'll never go back
I'll make the river run with pictures that I'd take
As a dying sun, spits colours in it's wake
Say you've seen enough
You'll only fan the flames
Cause I exploded into life that day
I'll never look back, I'll never look back
And no-one can take these feelings away
I'll never go back, I'll never go back
Exploding Machines
Exploding Machines
I've been trapped
I'm all for giving
But you got me wrapped
I got my reasons
But I won't explain
I'll keep my eyes a better way
I watch you sneaking
As you're filling up
Like your door's just been ripped off
In a storm you'd never stop
Cos you always say the same thing
You say
Yeah
All you brothers and sisters come on
You're not down because you're looking up
And they ask you to jump and you jump
'Cos you know that your time's gonna come
All you brothers and sisters come on
You're not down because you're looking up
And they ask you to jump and you jump
'Cos you know that your time's gonna come
Brother
Sister
Brother
Sister
I feel wrapped
You've only made it
If you think it back
I got my feelings
But I won't explain
I'll keep my eyes a better way
I watch you sneaking
As you're filling up
Like your door's just been ripped off
In a storm you'd never stop
Cos you always say the same thing
You say
Yeah
Give me something cold to drink
give me something warm to eat
take your coat off keep me warm
I've been watching how you walk
I've been listening to you talk
do your words match anything you do?
Do I learn from a stranger
and is that stranger you
I am just a begger
give me some food
CHORUS
I thought that Jesus said to love your brother
like you love yourself
if this is mercy then oh mercy me
I guess that I was wrong
you stand and judge me without seeing what I've seen
Today will you walk in my shoes
Once again I stand to face
all these demons that take me to the place
I never meant to go
here I stand all alone
throw it hard break my bones
close your eyes throw the first stone
funny how righteousness
turns into greediness
it's a far cry form holiness
CHORUS
I thought that Jesus said to love your brother
like you love yourself
if this is mercy then oh mercy me
I guess that I was wrong
you stand and judge me without seeing what I've seen
Today will you walk in my shoes
Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth
Someone said that you'd played around and that's why
Me and him had to go out
And straighten things out
Because
Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth
My time girl is new in my life
That don't mean that you're on trial
When those fools come calling on you don't feel down
Cos you have nothing to prove,
they don't see you through these eyes
I realise
What is to be of this pestilience
That makes empires tumble like tears
The dust of millenia - fallen ages
Staunches the flow of dawning horizons
Obscuring -
While the days crumble as their hours unfold
A sensual swooning - prophetic mocking
As the soils swallow the seeds of the past
Each one of us to his own
Embrace
Drowning in hallowed solitude
Swallowing the void
The pallid hope revealed at last
Embrace
"Why should I fret in microcosmic bonds
That chafe the spirit and the mind repress
When through the clouds gleam beckoning beyonds
Whose shining vistas mock man's littleness?"
Throw off those shackles of sufferance
This penance of one thousand ordeals
I wield the scepter of destiny
Choose the means of my own death
Give me both nails and a hammer
Harness those ecstasies of death
Prostrate myself on cruciform
At last...
With swift feet I made my way
Helmed by a cacophony of despair
Deaf to the legacy of youthfullness
And beauty and joy since pined away
Yet now a rush falls upon my ears
Of dripping - whispering words
The hole of emptiness I pour through
Unveils the caress from far beyond
Now no longer can I ignore
What goes before has gone again
The silence of immorality
Satisfied with this one fell step
Plunge beneath the waters -
The freezing embrace of the goddess of death
Guarantee is just a crutch for you if you can't handle drugs
That's why I'm goin out on a limb
Cause that's where all the fools
Prejudice is as strings
For all you muppets to cling
Cause you're all in a sting
And loves a state of being
Don't need to travel round the world
To realise the sky is blue
Everywhere where ever we move
Feelings of approve
Please ?? open your heart
When your happiness comes
Go on and treat yourself to a face lift and smile
Come on and smile
Come on and smile
Come on and smile
You flicker like a mile high neon sign
Hot and cold so no-one knows your mind
I was gonna let you win but I won't break
For an hour I held the moon on a string
Now this moments left till the world begins
Everything is possible, it's beautiful
When will you wake up,see what's happening
Right before your eyes no
If you must blow hot and cold, take a swing
You will hit the target every time
And so I look before I leaap and I see
Wolves are at the door with my enemies
I was gonna let them win but then you say
Watch the stars defeating my enemy
It's too far for them to bring you to me
Everything is possible, it's beautiful
When will you wake up see whats happening
Right before your eyes no
If you must blow hot and cold, take a swing
You will hit the target every time
I reached the water's edge
I wished that I could hold everybody's breath
Until no-one has any left
You take me to the edge
You're being to called to follow, the footprints that I left behind
Listen up, I'll sing to you how I can
Out of luck, now time is all that we have
Think about yourself and you'll kill all you love
I know our makers love all the mess the make
Out of sight behind these eyes you'll stay
Where everything is possible, it's beautiful
When will you wake up see whats happening
Right before your eyes, no
If you must blow hot and cold take a swing
Through the years
We melted into something no one understands
And the tears
Were running through our hands
For our love
Has twisted and will never be the same
Seems like love's
Impossible to tame
Maybe it's you I will remember
Maybe it's you I'll soon forget
Maybe it's you who takes the shadows from my heart
Maybe to you I will surrender
Maybe it's you I will regret
Maybe it's you who changed my life from the start
All my life
I longed for someone who feels the same
You know that I've
Been the one to blame
For too long
We tried to make it each and every day
Something's wrong
But I can't turn away
Maybe it's you I will remember
Maybe it's you I'll soon forget
Maybe it's you who takes the shadows from my heart
Maybe to you I will surrender
Maybe it's you I will regret
Maybe it's you who changed my life from the start
Like a fish I'll climb a mountain
While the others swim in the sea
You can drag the lake I'm in
But you'll never catch me
I know you got to thin the numbers
I'm just sick of being told
'Cos it's like a month of Mondays
Waiting for the last throw
Everything is falling
All I hear is noise
Everything is falling
All I hear is noise
You got me working soldier's hours
Though I do it for myself
'Cos all the people have the power
Until you see it yourself
Everything is falling
All I hear is noise
Everything is falling
All I hear is noise
Like a fish I'll climb a mountain
While the others swim in the sea
You can drag the lake I'm in
But you'll never catch me
Everything is falling
All I hear is noise
Everything is falling
All I hear is noise
Aim low hit low
Aim low hit low
And we'll give you back your halo
Embrace â Velvet Revolver
I dreamt you dreamt of me, yeah
And I was on you, see
Woke up and you were gone
Woke up and saw the sun
It was shining in my face
Showing me my disgrace
Five in the afternoon
Lying in my bed
Dehydrating, dissipating
Craving to be fed
Hundred miles an hour
Thoughts are zooming by
Feel the light
Got my eyes, yeah
Are you lonesome when you're used?
Do you really think?
I think I do
Embrace myself
Sitting in the shower all alone
Grazing my heart to the bone
You came here to save me too late
Now I'm embracing my hate
Now, now I'm finally understood
Now, now I'm really sure I would
As water laps my feet
Sharks surround me I sleep
You smile and line up your army
But my enemies can't get near me
Because I claimed victory
That day now I'm calm
I have seen in your eyes
How much you suffer in the dark
Where shining stars light the heaven
We satellites hope to reach
And my black water reflects them for me
Come on let?s make our move
They won't see a thing
That they can't see through
And shining stars light the heaven
We satellites hope to reach
And my black water reflects them for me for me
Where shining stars light the heaven
We satellites can't compete
And my black water reflects them for me
And redemption will pour
And crashes to the floor
And a million cold thoughts
Won't stop you feeling warm
Because the luck that you bring
Do you feel my sin
My warm breath upon your skin
Your world is pain
But I am the life
I will seal your fate
(with) Neverending joy
I can wipe away your tears
With one fatal lethal kiss
No words escape my blood red lips
And yet I call to you
I will out your last breath
For you belong to me
Slowly I will drink your soul
The dark engulfs you into my world
My movements make no sound
My touch is swift and soft
On blood is what I thrive
Your skin is white and smooth
Like a snowy desert
With rivers of red
You'll be transformed
And you will rise
You'll roam eternally the night
Under the wings of darkness
I tried to fight the feeling, the feeling took me down
I struggled and I lost the day you knocked me out
Now everything?s got meaning and meanings bring me down
I?m watching as a screening of my life plays out
Every day I fight these feelings
For your sake I will hide the real thing
You can run all your life, all mine I will chase
You should never fight your feelings
When your very bones believe them
You should never fight your feelings
You have to follow nature?s law
I?ll live with never knowing, if knowing?s gonna change
I?ll stop the feeling growing, I will stay away
Like a broken record stuck before a song
A million beginnings, none of them the one
Every day I fight these feelings
For your sake I will hide the real thing
You can run all your life, all mine I will chase
You should never fight your feelings
When your very bones believe them
You should never fight your feelings
You have to follow nature?s law
I wrote her letters and tried to send them
In a bottle I placed my hope
An SOS full of good intentions sinking
Will you give it to me? Don?t make me wait
You build me up, knocked me down
But I will stand my ground
And guide this light that I've found
You should never fight your feelings
When your very bones believe them
If you let them show, you?ll keep them
I know you're hurt but soon you'll rise
Again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again
You should never fight your feelings
When your very bones believe them
You should never fight your feelings
Pieces shattered and separate
Deep in detestation
Numbing imagery
Slithering, seething of my spiritless soul
Desperation, oh it permeates my consciousness
Talons of hysteria embrace my delirium
Embrace the brilliance, embrace the absurdity
Embrace the demons of your delusion
Embrace the brilliance, embrace the absurdity
Embrace the demons in your soul
Sweet agony racks my, oh my tortured cage
Feeding the insanity of my conception
Murky waters flood decaying, decaying passages
Lacerating the recesses of my lucidity
Embrace the brilliance, embrace the absurdity
Embrace the demons of your delusion
Embrace the brilliance, embrace the absurdity
Embrace the demons in your soul
The demons in your mind....
Mangled, clawing through the destruction
Total destitution choking every passage
Crushed and consumed oblivion descends
Sweet insanity calls my name
Embrace the brilliance, embrace the absurdity
Embrace the demons of your delusion
Embrace the brilliance, embrace the absurdity
Embrace the demons in your soul
[Music & words:Saikkonen]
I drown in a blueshining beauty
Cold bliss for a sleepless
Desolation, tranquility
Alone with my dream
I wanna feel it
I wanna touch it
I wanna feel your stone cold skin
Your sweetest body
I found you in this dream so real
You touched my soul gently
Sub-consciously I realise
I will have to open my eyes
I wanna feel it
I wanna touch it
I wanna feel your stone cold skin
Your sweetest body
A new truth's surrounding me
Reflecting what I used to be
I read the word and doubt it still
But it says the promise'll be fullfilled
I feel the change and don't know how
my deepest hope it starts to grow ...and grow
I roamed the world's philosophy
Searched for an aim to set me free
Could it be, the answer's here?
Right before my eyes so clear?
A new warmth, like an embrace,
Saves me from mind's endless maze ... endless maze
On a night like tonight
you saved my life
Red and green
which you slip on refracted lights
Running faster than my legs can take me
Shouting louder than my lungs allow me
Wide as the rivers run
Still got time for someone
Be my embrace now
Be my embrace now
(x 2)
Light a match,
bring the flame over to your eye
Slipping past, you won't see me before you die
Breaking out of sleep, my head's still aching
This war is killing you and all around me
Wide as the rivers run
Still got time for someone
Be my embrace now
Be my embrace now
(x 2)
You go, go, go, go
(x 4)
Wide as the rivers run
Still got time for someone
Be my embrace now
Be my embrace now
I want feel Your embrace
I want to feel Your arms around
I want to feel Your heart beating, next to mine(x2)
And it's telling me...
It's all gonna be okay (x4)
I want to see You Your face
Want to see who I can be
Want to see what You can see
In the mirror of Your eyes
And Your're telling me...
It's all gonna be okay (x4)
And I know, if Your eye is on the sparrow
Than Your heart is on me
Spontaneous:
And I don't have to wait to go to heaven when I die
I wanna go right now. We're gonna go right now
'Cause this is the sound of heaven invading earth, this
You changed all that I am
Once you opened your eyes
Right there I turned off the world
And then there were you and I
Whole again, you have defined who I am
Innocence helps me retain what I am
One breath was all they required
To deprive us all of our bliss
Right there I saw you were lost
And there wouldn’t be another “us”
I fell and I fell, into a dark and bottomless pit
Darkness embraced my whole world
I’ll trade you my life, spare you my heart
Without you I still would be lost, I’d drown in an ocean
I am you, you are me, we cannot part
A future’s embrace clad with hope is ours…
Slowly dark clouds dispersed
Offered a passage of life
And they gave us a reason to carry on
What we believed wouldn’t be suddenly was
I’ll trade you my life, spare you my heart
Without you I still would be lost, I’d drown in an ocean
I am you, you are me, we cannot part
A future’s embrace clad with hope is ours…
Dark clouds will shadow the roads we’ll be walking
And questions will challenge our minds and our hopes
But I’m sure that devotion and faith will make darkness subside

*Quote taken from H.P. Lovecraft's "Phaeton"
Know that I went as high as I could go on my first time
Where's the fun if your feelings are left behind
And it's your right when you mean it to find the proof, make me hear it
'Cause when I'm wrong I don't see it anymore
'Cause I feel like a fake when I feel any feeling
And I wouldn't wanna happen to you
'Cause I know ya mean it
You have a laugh when you let go
That makes it's a big unwanted side show
Why count the times that you feel low, when you shine
'Cause your stone cold wise, I'm in to what you doin'
And I wouldn't wanna happen to you
'Cause I could never climb the walls you'd walk through
And it's the smiling lies that always come
To make you feel that I'm the one for you
I know it feels like you spent your whole life
With people trying to keep you in your place
But no one knows you better than me when I say
No, no, no, no
I wouldn't wanna happen to you
'Cause I can't bear to climb the walls you'd walk through
But it's the smiling lies that always come
To make you feel that I'm the one for you
You pinned your hope one me like I'm all you find
But I wouldn't wanna happen to you this time
I've gone away
I've gone away
I've gone away
So, something I was trying to stall
Made its way to you
And you rush in
Like you always do
Hmm, everything I have is spent
and I've got used to you
home
Don't you let
Your mind play tricks on you
You don't have to do anything that's new,
but seein' you try to wins me back
with no big heart attacks
It's all been one big act
Cos now you're nobody
I'll have you
There's gotta be something
Worth having, worth all this
In my life at last one thing
That I can go along with
I lost half of what I could have been
When I realised you weren't meant for me
I wonder which gut feeling to go with
'Til I realised -
That thats all changed
For good, forever
There's gotta be someone
I can count on and fend for
In my life at last someone
Who'd make me surrender
‘Cause half of what I should have been
Walks away when you walk out on me
And I wonder which gut feeling to go with
'Til I realised –
That that's all changed
For good
No more worries and doubts the good will come out
I've changed for good, forever
Wait until you see I've changed, for good, forever
Say you'll see how much i have changed
For good, forever
Wait until you see I've changed, for good, forever
Just wait until you see
How much a change could make you see
My girl is just a retread
I lost her when I hit the brakes
Our love hits science fiction levels
Now I'm bending like I've made a mistake
Here I stand afraid
With no more to say
And now I feel so insecure
I can't save something I feel so much for
Won't you stay, and leave a light for me
Now I found myself redeemed cos no one seen the bad in me
Or been where I've been
And not turned to leave
And now I feel so insecure
I can't save something I feel so much for
Won't you stay
You know if you had a wing you'd be the last to know you could fly
He strokes your hair to keep you down
Will you fight?
I'll see you fight
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
The good will out and I'll come clean
There's nothing in between
Maybe I talk like the man
Who hangs on the lowest rung
And I don't wanna be like the man
Who begs on the lowest gold
And when you run out of time
I fly high above your stones
Another walk down memory lane
Won't hide all the luck you've stole
Yeah, while you doubt me
You're so wise
You spread the word
If you're alive then why aren't you living
And I want the world
And I want the world
Maybe I talk like the man
Who hangs from the lowest rung
And I don't wanna be like the man
Who begs on the lowest gold
Yeah, don't you doubt me
If you're wise
Then spread the word
If you're alive then why aren't you living
And I want the world
And I want the world
And all the life I've had I've spent
Looking out for someone who knows
We won't come down
Cos I'm a million strong
And so's the light I've found
And all the life I've had I've spent
Looking out for someone who knows
We won't come down
Cos I'm a million strong
Silence is all that I have to say to you
Mountains like me and you don't hear the rules
About what we can or we can't do
I don't want to learn if learning makes you
Bring those eyes down with you
If you truly learn how to cover
You won't forget how it's done
And you go and give me a bug I can't beat
Stuck with the wrong with us inside me
It takes its time
But when it breaks free
Break off those heels
twist till you leave
Then we'll dance
Those plans we make won't last
They'll wear and fade like fools
Too young to run out of time
We'll always set our sights high
If you truly learn how to cover
You won't forget how it's done
Then you go and give me a bug I can't beat
Stuck with the wrong in us inside me
It takes its time but when it breaks free
Break off those heels, twist till you leave
Then we'll dance
Those plans we made won't last
They'll wear and fade like fools
Too young to run out of time
We'll lose our way, we'll dance
Those plan we made won't last
They'll wear and fade like fools
Too young to run out of time
Don't wanna let you down
I've been lucky I was lost
Now I'm found
You could be the first in the universe
Who's glad they're watered down
And that's why I get that shallow feeling that you like
I'll never learn that I can't win
Don't wanna make a row
You do And it's your loss I'm around
I don't mind doing everything
Hallelujah you're the one come back now
Sometimes I get the shallow feeling that you like
That you're hurt don't change a thing
Because my weakness is none of your business
But bad will always collect
To one big melting pot
And all my weakness is none of your business
Somehow it always collects
To one big melting pot
This could be our time
This could be our time
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
I'm in yer hand do as we planned
Show me the way you kneel
don't you kneel it's the way I feel
hungry for thirst full fit to burst
give me a go at the wheel
cause I, I just don't know which way I should turn
Look around my friend
leave them all behind
I'm gonna take a look at all the things I find
so take a bow leave me out
Last gas pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa paaa pa pa pa naaaaaaa
Last gas pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa paaa pa pa pa naaaaaaa
Look around look around look around your mine
Look around look around look around you'll find
Today is what I'm not afraid of.
Its tomorrow that scares the hell out of me.
I can't begin to imagine a world without you.
But my sweet darling, I have to.
But my sweet darling, I have to let you go.
You'll always be with me, but I'm sorry I'm not coming home.
This is what you wanted, its what you wanted.
And now I got to go, so I'm sorry I'm not coming home.
You know what baby
Did I ever tell you that you're the best thing in my life?
So sorry that I turned out to be the worst thing in yours.
Why can't you let go of my hand?
Crack a smile for me, and give me one last thrill.
Why can't you let go of my hand?
We are life & we are death.
We are love & we are hate.
We are good & we are evil.
We are just.. so perfect.
It started with "I think I'm falling in love with you."
It ends with "I'm sorry I'm over you."
You'll always be with me, but I'm sorry I'm not coming home.
This is what you wanted, its what you wanted.
And now I got to go, so I'm sorry I'm not coming home.
I stretched over to reach you
I tried to meet you
I've been wrong
Now the fireworks in me are all gone
It's time you realized
My girl you make all the smart moves
and you see through all my wrongs
When the fireworks in me are all wrong
Well then I realized
And I dont need convincing
I've seen enough to want to try and change things
You fell in love I fell in line
I thought I'd found my place
Before I knew how much it cost to play it safe
Have I let you-I'll never let you down
I work all day and I wanna fight
when it feels right and it's wrong
When the fireworks in me are all gone
Well then I realized
And I wont need convincing
I've seen enough to want to try and change things
You fell in love I fell in line
I thought I'd found my place
Before I knew how much it cost to play it safe
Remember me
when the circus comes to town
and you're welcomed in, but can't get out
and no one hears you shout
remember me
remember me
cause i'm drying, lost at sea
for a day that won't be happening
as you turn away, i hear you say
you remember me
remember me
Chorus
love - when your chemicals take hold
love - but you don't know where it goes
love - will you try to crack the code
as you sow you reap
remember me
remember me
when you thought you'd never sink
look around and see the hole you're in
no one's there to help you lift the lid
just remember me
don't say you will
cause you know that you really won't
that you care, cause you should when you know you don't
what you sow you reap
remember me
chorus
and when you're scared
of just how sweet this life can be
and you're deafened by your inner peace
just say before you're beat
that you remember me
chorus
When mistakes don't end
'Cause you're still too young
And your foolish games
Couldn't hurt no one
You gave me nothing at all
But the time of day
It's no one's loss
If you walk away
Don't take it wrong
You're still so young
Your foolish ways
Never hurt no one
You gave me nothing at all
Then you said goodbye
And then I knew
You'd changed my life
You'd changed my life
Forever
Na, na, na
The snow on the screen we're going light speed tonight
Like Bonnie & Clyde except we don't die tonight
And the blister packs coats and crumpled up notes appear
It's a break from the swill, the piss they distill around here
A break from the swill, the piss they distill around here...
Lift off of this Metropolis
When this town comes down,
I wish I wish
My first degree emergency
Is kettled by your cavalry,
I wish I wish
The cash machine queens when ambulance teams arrive
In their skeletal jeans they take Refugees for wives
When their collars get felt their glorified belts won't keep 'em warm
And we'll run up the strand, your wrist in my hand
We know we're born
Yeah I know, I'm born
Yeah I know I'm born
Lift off of this Metropolis
When this town comes down,
I wish I wish
My first degree emergency
Is kettled by your cavalry,
And when all of your friends are my enemies
Wishing me gone as I'm running away
And my only defence is the worst of me
Out in the open for all to survey
When you settle for less than I promised you
Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped
If it seems like it's harder to say to you
It's cause some things are just harder to say
Lift off of this Metropolis
When this town comes down,
I wish I wish
My first degree emergency
Is kettled by your cavalry,
I wish I wish
Today I lock my fears away
Turn the key and throw it away
And leave the badness behind
And start again
Today I get to make it new
Today I'm free, free to choose
No more worries I can't face
I know there's nothing stacked so high
I can't see the light from behind
And clear the way
Today I get to make it new
Today I'm free, free to choose
Today I get to start anew
Today I'm free, today we're through
All that was left was the present that you got me
I was gonna break it
But now I need the money
And I just don't know what I should do
So I take another drink and then rush the way I'm falling
It's not the ones who win and who are keeping score
It's what losers are for
You look like a believer in your eyes
I was licked by the nose 'till I found out
You've got a straight honest struggle that I gave God his time, more time
I was all hate until you kicked my heart open
Now I'm in lane
But you're not taking over me
You've really got me fooled
It's not my trick but I've seen it done many times
And so I think I've learned all your evil lies
But every feeling needs proof
You look like a believer in your eyes
I was licked by the nose 'till I found out
You've got a straight honest struggle that I gave God his time, more time
You look like a believer in your eyes
I was licked by the nose 'till I found out
You've got a straight honest struggle that I gave God his time, more time
I found out what the hate is for tonight
Now I found out what the waste is for tonight
Now I found out what the hate is for tonight
Now I found out what the waste is for tonight
Now I found out what the waste is for tonight
Now I found out what the waste is for tonight
Now I found out what the waste is for tonight
Now I found out what the waste is for tonight
Now I found out
i look outside, i don't like what i see
the scene is split into communities
i try and try to stay positive
but these struggles and fights
they upset me
struggles/the fighting/don't throw away
don't stop/keep trying/don't go away
don't hate/each other/we're family
theres a strenght... through diversity
there's a love, a bond... through unity
we all are one... people in the scene
embrace one another... we're family
what will be accomplished by
dividing and changing tides
in the days of the violent breed
this hatred, it killed our scene
today we have another chance
we must learn from our past
don't break this time and place
My heart is pounding
Unrealistic move
Slack and retarded
Like you
Forcing me into this
Pathetic deed
My heart is pounding
Untrue
Run and be lost
Flee and it costs
Take and you'll pay
That's where I lay
My heart is pounding
Unexpected move
Back where I started
With you
Forcing me into this
Pathetic deed
My heart is pounding
I don't know what you want, I don't hear what you said
Truth behind the lies
'Cause I can't see what's in your head
And spread your wings and fly, out in a brave new world
Let this be my prayer, to keep you safe when I'm not there
Can we love and live apart, I don't know,no, I don't know
How can we divide the heart, I don't know, no, I don't know
And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace
And in the cold night, under the street light
I long for your embrace
Living separate lives, I have faith in you, away from you
Like a lonely child, I will hang on every word
Embrace
Through the mists of time, lovers can be friends
The power of the human heart
The secrets in the souls of men
All my blessings in disguise
I don't know, no, I don't know
Reunited we will rise
I don't know, no, I don't know
And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace
And in the cold night, under the street light
I long for your embrace
Living separate lives, I have faith in you, away from you
Like a lonely child, I will hang on every word
And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace
Another daybreak, another heartache
I long for your embrace
Living separate lives
Away from you
Embrace, embrace
The lonely, lonely life
Lonely days and nights
We can live our life
Embrace, embrace
With our separate lives
Embrace, embrace
The lonely, lonely lives
Lonely days and nights
I will never send away
Embrace, embrace
The lonely, lonely lives
Embrace the child inside
As denial envelopes
And expands deep inside
Writhing internally
Disarrying my mind
Contorting my thoughts
Into agony and pain
I estrange and depart
This life I forsake
My will to live on is gone
To die is what I long
Contemplate ways to die
As escape from pathetic life
Forlorn hope
Now slips away
My vitality
Hopelessly fades
My death will se me free
To rest
In serenity
My lunacy debilitates
And reasoning begins to fail
The will to be capitulates
I surrender to my self hate
My mind reels out of control
Dementia has taken hold
Hallucinations take their toll
Upon my withering soul
The blades touch is cold as ice
A flash of light blinds my eyes
I lacerate my flesh and vein
Vital lifeforce now inundates
Blood puddles spray from my wrists
Etched on my face a look of bliss
As I lie, watching time
I embrace the end of my life
Now set free, to journey
Where darkness caresses me
My life gone
Essence withdrawn
i am left here my memories are haunting my every thought
i see her frail womb stripped of it's innocence
the measure of judgement i long to carry out
i feel so helpless not my will but yours God
i can hear you laughing your perspective comments
disrespecting my love, disrespecting my love, disrespecting my love
headlines read victim of rape found this morning no life in her
is this happening? is this happening? is it her? no God
your thoughts become reality your actions unbelievable
i wish i was there to help her
my love pours out for her my love pours out for her
my love pours out for her my love pours out for her
on my knees here i lay for you God build within my strength
take this cup from me God i cannot bear it
transform my hatred into your love
why must i love them because your loved them God
i embrace you (her) i embrace them
unsilence my forgiveness through the word i can clearly see
Featuring: White Lies
When the daylight weighs a tonne
and all my friends are gone,
there's rust around the things I love,
when it's fraying at the seams of reality and dreams,
all those dreams are quiet and dull
This town's alright
But it's not enough
I'm looking for a quick exit
like a prisoner on the run
(x2)
Big time break down
Look how the stars come out
Big time break down
Why didn't you just shout
I'm lonely and I'm looking
For a place to go
Where everything's an embrace
and everybody wants to know
I'm your absent Valentine
And the pigtails in the bride
I'm the still that carves the toes in your bottle (I think?!)
I'm the lynch mob in the dark
I'm the silk worm in your heart
Spinning out my perfect circle
This town's alright
But it's not enough
I'm looking for a quick exit
like a prisoner on the run
(x2)
Big time break down
Look how the stars come out
Big time break down
Why didn't you just shout
I'm lonely and I'm looking
For a place to go
Where everything's an embrace
and everybody wants to know
I'm on the water
Fetch your brother, fetch your daughter
Come, Come undone
Fetch your sister, fetch your son
(Repeats through)
This town's alright
But it's not enough
I'm looking for a quick exit
like a prisoner on the run
(x2)
Big time break down
Look how the stars come out
Big time break down
Why didn't you just shout
I'm lonely and I'm looking
For a place to go
Where everything's an embrace
