Feeder are an alternative rock band from Newport, Wales, formed in 1991. Feeder's line-up from 1994 had consisted of founding members vocalist and guitarist Grant Nicholas alongside drummer Jon Lee, before the line-up was later completed with bassist Taka Hirose. The band had previously employed Simon Blight from Raindancer, a previous Feeder incarnation. On January 7, 2002 Jon took his own life in his Miami home, which saw the band keep out of the public eye for the rest of the year until August, when they made their live return with then former Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richardson, who also recorded with the band. In May 2009, Mark parted company with Feeder to return to a reformed Skunk Anansie, before Karl Brazil took over as the band's studio and live drummer. Although the band have also employed Damon Wilson and former Mexicolas member Tim Trotter for live duties, Tim has recorded with the band on occasions.
Feeder first attracted national attention with the 2001 album Echo Park, due to the popularity and frequent airplay of its lead and UK top 5 single "Buck Rogers", although the band had released two albums before this being Polythene (1997) and Yesterday Went Too Soon (1999). Feeder's overall mainstream success is seen as moderate in comparison to their peers, but have seen very positive critical reviews for their early work, which includes a perfect 10/10 score for Yesterday Went Too Soon by Metal Hammer magazine. Two years previously Polythene was their album of the year, while in November 2004 Kerrang!'s writers have also approved of "Buck Rogers" as one of their "666 Songs You Must Own". Feeder's chart successes up until the end of 2006, enabled them to become one of the most successful UK chart acts between 1952-2006 based on the ranking system used in the now defunct Guinness publication British Hit Singles & Albums. Total combined domestic sales from all their albums that have been certified at least gold, currently stands at over 1.5 million.
Remember yesterday?
Driving down the M4
The sun lit up your face
Playing all the tunes
Feeling like a child again
The pain has been erased
I feel much better anyhow
Until I see that black cloud
I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
Stop looking in
Hide it all away
Keeping your heart inside a box
That no one else can take
Smile it all away
Holding back a thousand lies
But that was yesterday
I love it when she comes around
Until I see that black cloud
I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
Got a hole in my head
Got this song in my head
Waiting for the sun to come around
Waiting for the sun to come around
Take another smoke
I though you said you'd given up?
And does your mother know?
Take another rest
Holding out my hand again
I hope that we're still friends
I got a, I got a, I got a, I got a...
I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad

She turns her head
The face, it bangs the cold biting wind
She feels it in her bones against her skin
It’s hard to let it go
She’s reached the end
All this wait
She tries to walk across a frozen lake
She knows that there’s a chance the ice may break
And she’d be left alone far away
And we never know
The love inside we never grow
Why are you running away?
What are you trying to say?
What did you ever expect?
It seems like every day you’re miles away
How could I ever forget?
I’m drowning in a sea of regret
Why did I ever pretend?
It seems like yesterday
She tries again
Forgets the endless lies and foolishness
Heads towards the place where she was born
It’s somewhere that still calls a home
She will always leave
Searching for the love she meats
Why are you running away?
What are you trying to say?
What did you ever expect?
It seems like every day you’re miles away
How could I ever forget?
I’m drowning in a sea of regret
Why did I ever pretend?
It seems like yesterday
Call out, let your spirit rid of
You can call out, let your voice sing now
Let me in
Let me in
Why are you running away?
What are you trying to say?
What did you ever expect?
It seems like every day you’re miles away
How could I ever forget?
I’m drowning in a sea of regret
Why did I ever pretend?
It seems like yesterday
Breathing in, spitting out
The bittersweet sugar of life
It used to taste better
Sucking in, pulling in
Emotions I just can't hide
Cheap smiles and promises
Cause we're polaroid
We're living in polaroid
Polaroid, it's making me paranoid
Hanging on, holding on
To cables inside my mind
Cut loose and crashing in
Serenade, the volume raise
Breaking glass heads and hands
I can't go on living
Cause we're polaroid
We're living in polaroid
Polaroid, it's making me paranoid
Polaroid, she's living in polaroid
Polaroid, it's making me paranoid, paranoid
You gotta set me free
You gotta set me free...
You gotta set me free
Polaroid, we're living in polaroid
Polaroid, it's making me paranoid
She's polaroid, we're living in polaroid
Polaroid, it's making me paranoid
Polaroid (Polaroid, polaroid, polaroid...)
She's my polaroid
Polaroid, it's missing in polaroid
Given everything that innocence has pulled us both apart
find immunity, a part of you to fill this empty heart
never knowing what to say, what to do, where to go
as the moment slips away, take a breath and swallow
call me hear me,
I'm cut & torn, torn
Just show me the way through
call me hear me
I step in stone
stone...
I'm trying to reach you
I'm trying to reach you
I'm trying to reach you
come together fell the pressure hold on tight you never know
push the button, ease the tension, purify but take it slow
never knowing what to say, what to do, where to go
as the moment slips away take a breath and swallow
call me hear me,
I'm cut & torn, torn
Just show me the way through
call me hear me
I step in stone
stone...
I'm trying to reach you
call me hear me,
I'm cut & torn, torn
Just show me the way through
call me hear me
I step in stone
stone...
I'm trying to reach you
I'm trying to reach you
I'm trying to reach you
I'm trying to reach you
Keep my feet on the sand
Gotta take the hand that guides me there
As I reach, do they stare?
Do they feel the same way?
I wanna be here!
I wanna be here, I see the face
Look back and then it calls to me
Wanna stay here, here
Just wanna be free
(Wanna be free)
Could it be in my head?
As I kneel, as I turn to face, cover me
If it falls high above
It takes us all away someday
I wanna be here!
I wanna be here, I see the face
Look back and then it calls to me
Just Wanna stay here, here
Just wanna be free
Will I fell it anymore?
As a child, as I grow old
It's the only way I see
Open up, let it be
I wanna be here!
You don't know, cause you don't see it
I wanna be here, I see the face
Look back and then it calls to me
I feel it, so let it go
Let it go
Wanna be here
Turn back another page
Reading the words she sent today
Feeling my capsize
Gazing at photographs of you
Hearing the baby cry
Then watching his mother try to soothe
Living the terminal lies
Hoping my dreams come true tonight
Getting to know you well (Getting to know you well)
Just wish I could break your shell
I'm getting to know you well (Getting to know you well)
I think we might be okay
Chewing on ice cream cones
Seeing the sun shine down to you
Out in a rowing boat
Seeing the seagull spy for food
Pulling the daisy chains
Losing myself again with you
Wish it could stay like this
Cause yesterday went away too soon
Getting to know you well (Getting to know you well)
Just wish I could break your shell
I'm getting to know you well (Getting to know you well)
I think we might be okay
Getting to know you well (Getting to know you well)
Just wish I could break that shell
I'm getting to know you well (Getting to know you well)
I think we might be okay
Trying hard to find a reason
With every step I take I'm sinking
I wish that I could say I'm coming
With every breath I'm choking
Waking up late today
Sleeping in clothes that stick to you
Hearing the plane fly by
Staring at paper clouds and hills
Getting to know you well (Getting to know you well)
Just wish I could break your shell
I'm getting to know you well (Getting to know you well)
I think we might be okay
Getting to know you well (Getting to know you well)
Just wish I could break that shell
I'm getting to know you well (Getting to know you well)
December, why does it always rain
Why does it never snow
Tempers, pulling you round again
It only takes one word to bring you round
But nothing can last forever
It's getting better all the time now
I can feel it again
Falling, dropping like a stone
You wish you could fund your friends
Talking, hearing the same old news
It only takes one word to bring you round
Coz nothing can last forever
It's getting better all the time now
I can breath in again
Getting better everyday now
I can feel it again
Lift yourself into a better place
Time to heal a broken heart
It only takes one word to bring you round
But nothing can last forever
It's getting better all the time now
I can feel it again
Getting better everyday now
I can breath in again
Gotta learn how to think
Cause I'm drowning in sin
Just wanna taste that cinnamon skin
I've gotta learn how to cry
Taste the tear roll by
Cause there's no sense in self destruction
Emily loved him
Emily loved him
You cut away the disease
You pure the air that I breathe
You came and healed my disease again
Now the light comes shining in
I've gotta learn how to drink
Without the alcohol swings
I'm sure that things will feel better
Gotta learn how to grow
Lift the world off your toes
Feel yourself drift off to somewhere
Emily loved him
Emily loved him
You cut away the disease
You pure the air that I need
You came and healed my disease
What's gonna happen if it all falls in
And the highs get low and the pain sits inside me
Emily loved him
Cause Emily loved him
You cut away the disease
You pure the air that I breathe
You came and healed my disease again
Now the lights come shining in
You cut away the disease
You pure the air that I need
You came and healed my disease again
Summer breeze, kisses me
Autumn leaves retire
Apathy, breaking free
Still waiting for the sun
See me as I wait
See me wait
I can't see another
See me wait
Forever
Reach a plea, honey feed
Open, feel like fire
Turning red, above my head
Reaching to recover
See me as I wait
See me wait
I can't see another
See me wait
I can't end another
Open your arms (See me wait)
Just see how it is (Another)
Open your arms (See me wait)
Just see how it is, see how it is (Another)
Open your arms
Just see how it is (Another)
Reaching again (See me wait)
You can make it better in this world of sin
Wanna make it better, wrapped in arms of silk
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
So you wanna feel better, in your crazy heads
Learn to breath the air, drown away despair
You wanna swim oceans, and feel the sun
You wanna get closer to the one you love
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
Who's gonna bring it back
Who's gonna bring it back, bring it home
Who's gonna send it back

Wanna watch the sunset turn from gold to pink
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
So you wanna feel better, cause it still hurts
Find yourself the answer, someone you can trust
You wanna climb mountains and reach the stars
You wanna lie next to the face you know
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
Who's gonna bring it back
Who's gonna bring it back, bring it home
Who's gonna send it back
Who's gonna send it back, bring it home

Bu bu bu bu, bu bu bu bu
Come back in,
As love get's thin and leaves you dry.
Found that space,
Only to owe you back inside.
You're fading like someone,
Who's given up on life.
And all you've ever left behind,
The scars that burn inside.
You're wishing for someone,
A taste of something better.
Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu,
Till it came,
Born to break in someway soon.
Lose the fear.
'Cause nothings easy in this world.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.

Going up town

You are my thrill

Wrapped around your heel

You've got to believe it
You've got to
Help, help me see

Sitting in the sunshine
Sipping cheap wine on a bed
Salsa in the summer
Some tequila for my head
Just take me home, just take me home (Just take me home)
I love the winter, winter, yeah yeah
Give me a phone, give me a phone (Give me a phone)

It's hard for me to comprehend
Holding on with broken hands
But who will understand
Wallow in the acid rain
What's in store for us today
It's never gonna feel the same
I'm waiting for an angel now
To carry me above the clouds
Cause it's a long way home for the summer
And it's a long way up without a ladder
It's a long way home
And it's a long way down
Swallowing the bitter taste
Trying to find a remedy
Before the crystal breaks
Looking at a picture show
Frame by frame you see us grow
To something you don't know
You're trying to find a reason now
Behind a face, you see a child
It's a long way home for the summer
And it's a long way up without a ladder
And it's a long way home
And it's a long way down
Life's a picture show
You can make it better in this world of sin
Wanna make it better, wrapped in arms of silk

Learn to breath the air, drown away despair

Crack and break, life's big mistake,
I'm feeling it too, there's no way home.
The summer's gone,
The summer's gone away.
Back down to earth, a conscience burst,
I'm feeling it too, just slipped away.
The summer's gone,
The love has gone,
The sun has gone away,
Away
It's turned to grey, just burned away,
A moment too soon, we've turned to grey...
Just like yesterday,
It's turned to black and white.
Cold as stone, no contact known
You're feeling it too, as thoughts decay.
The summer's gone, the colour's gone,
The sun has gone away
Oh, you're thinking back, you're going back to places that you've been,
Where days could last forever, but you can only dream,
Oh, we're going back I'm looking back to places that we've seen,
Moments that have been, places we can dream.
Crash and break, life's big mistake,
You're feeling it too, just slipped away.
The love has gone,
I've got a friend, her name is Laura
We took a holiday, seven sweet days in Majorca
We took a plane, through to southern Spain
To see the ocean wave's blue
We sat and watched the moon
As crickets sung back cover tunes
Way back in May
Seven days in the sun...yeah
She's my heaven
She's a spark
Feels like heaven
So light me up
She's got this friend, his name is Paula
He likes to cross dress every friday night in clothes from Prada
We took a train, left behind the rain
To see the summer sunset glow
But now she's not around
I'm hanging on with broken hands
Way for the clouds
Seven days in the sun
Seven days in the sun...sun
She's my heaven
She's a spark
Feels like heaven
So light me up
You really light me up
You really light me up
You really light me up
You really light me up
You really
Staring through the crowd
It's pulling me underground
And who's gonna dig me out?
We used to take a walk on velvet sands across the beach
We used to build a fire, and stare into the rising heat
You used to set me free, lift me from the concrete sea
Seven days in the sun
She's my heaven
She's a spark
Feels like heaven
So light me up
You really light me up
You really light me up
You really light me up
You really light me up
You really light me up
You really light me up
You really light me up
You really light me up
Waking up 12 in my clothes again
Feel my head explode
From a night of gin
Another night out light
I don't wanna change
Don't wanna be a crack
Gotta get my feet back on the ground
Before it pulls me in
How come it ended up like this
And whose gonna catch me
When I'm coming down
To hit the ground again
All by myself
(Waking up at 12 in my clothes again)
Cause I don't wanna drag you down
Hold you down
Cause you're a friend
I blame myself
(Feel my head explode from a night of gin)
I guess you think it's funny now
Funny now
On the underground
Were the freaks are frownsed
Looking at the wall
Through a silver cloud
But they all came down
I gotta rise above the emotional flood
Gotta cut these wounds around my hands
Pull myself around
How come it ended up like this
Who's gonna be there when I've
Lost control
And heading to crashland
All by myself
(Waking up at 12 in my clothes again)
Cause I don't wanna drag you down
Hold you down
Cause you're a friend
I blame myself
(Feel my head explode from a night of gin)
I guess you think it's funny now
Funny now
All by myself
Cause I don't wanna drag you down
Hold you down
Cause you're a friend
I blame myself
I guess you think it's funny now
Funny now
It's such a shame
All by myself
(Waking up at 12 in my clothes again)
Cause I don't wanna drag you down
Hold you down
Cause you're a friend
I blame myself
(Feel my head explode from a night of gin)
I guess you think it's funny now
Funny now
It's such a shame
All by myself
(Waking up at 12 in my clothes again)
Cause I don't wanna drag you down
Hold you down
Cause you're a friend
I blame myself
(Feel my head explode from a night of gin)
I guess you think it's funny now
Sitting on a corner street
Children playing at my feet
See the smiles on ice cream faces
Feel myself begin to sink
As the wind blows through my skin
Leaves me open to temptation
Cause nothing ever lasts forever
We're like flowers in this vase, together
You and me, it's pulling me down
Tearing my down, piece by piece
And you can't see
That's it's like a disease
Killing me now, it's so hard to breathe
Sucking back a cigarette
Thinking about new regrets
Trying to be someone you'd like to be
Passing faces on the road
Where the hell can we still go?
Leaves us open to temptation
Cause nothing ever lasts forever
We're like flowers in this vase, together
You and me, it's pulling me down
Tearing my down, piece by piece
And you can't see
That's it's like a disease
Killing me now, it's so hard to breathe
It's so hard to breathe
But it's worth fighting for
It's still worth fighting for
It's worth fighting for
Cause nothing ever lasts forever
We're like flowers in this vase, together
You and me, it's pulling me down
Tearing my down, piece by piece
And you can't see
That's it's like a disease
It's killing me now, it's so hard to breathe
You and me, it's pulling me down
Tearing me down, piece by piece
And you can't see, that it's like a disease
He's got a brand new car
Looks like a Jaguar
It's got leather seats
It's got a CD player (player, player, player...)
But I don't wanna talk about it anymore
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yeah
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore
We'll start over again
Grow ourselves new skin
Get a house in Devon
Drink cider from a lemon (lemon, lemon, lemon...)
But I don't wanna talk about it anymore
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yeah
So don't you try and fake it

She likes big boats, big yachts, designer throws
She likes big blokes, body oil, sex that chokes
Her mother left her when she was fifteen
Out of the nest into the vacuum flow
She got a job working shifts at Sainsbury's
Packed her bags and left for Monaco
Choke, choke, choke, choke
You're the only pill I take
Lift me up to where the clouds are snow
Cause you're the only thrill I feed
Ease the pressure let the whole thing flow
She likes Belgo, fashion heads, Saville Row
She likes the cheap sex, private jets, the Paris glow
Her mother left her when she was fifteen
Out of the nest into the vacuum flow
Choke, choke, choke, choke
You're the only pill I take
Lift me up to where the clouds are snow
Cause you're the only thrill I feed
Ease the pressure let the waters flow
You're the only pill I take
Lift me up to where the clouds are snow
Snow, snow, snow
Choke, choke, choke, choke
You're the only pill I take
Lift me up to where the clouds are snow
You're the only thrill I feed
Ease the pressure let the whole thing flow
Cause you're the only pill I take
Lift me up to where the clouds are snow
You're the only thrill I feed
Staring out to reach a star
Contemplating life on mars
Life's a cover magazine
I'm an eggshell under feet
Till I see this house under pale blue skies
With golden fields that will burn your eyes
So let's take a drive underneath the sun
New intentions all around
Put the brakes on, slow it down
Trying to find a new release
Find a space that you can breath
But I've seen a house under pale blue skies
With golden fields that will burn your eyes
So let's take a drive underneath the sun
But don't come around, pulling me down
Telling the world how I let you down
Just tell all your friends
I wanna dream with you
So tell all your friends and neighbors too
CNN BBC world news
Tell all your friends I wanna dream with you
Tell all your friends
Tell all your friends
Tell all your friends
I don't wanna sit here catching flies
Cause I have seen this house under pale blue skies
With golden fields that will burn your eyes
So let's take a drive underneath the sun
But don't come around, pulling me down
Telling the world how I let you down
Just tell all your friends
I wanna dream with you
So tell all your friends and neighbors too
CNN BBC world news
Tell all your friends
I wanna dream with you
Seeing things, going places
Living out of suitcases
Every day's like a dream
I find myself talking to shadows
Taking the train of youth
Back home again
Cause I don't want to be a hero
But I don't want to be a zero
And I don't wanna sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got
Seeing things, going places
Meeting all kinds of faces
Every day's like a scene
I find myself going through phases
Trying to find somewhere that I can be me
Cause I don't want to be a hero
But I don't want to be a zero
And I don't wanna sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got
I'm not trying to find an easy way
Picking up the pieces of a page
I'm looking for a place inside your mind
Cause I don't want to leave it all behind
So come on, give in
There's no beauty in this pain
So come on, give in
We've got to find ourselves again
Cause I don't want to be your hero
And I don't wanna sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got
I'm not trying to find an easy way
Picking up the pieces of a page
I'm looking for a place inside your mind
Cause I don't want to leave it all behind
And I don't wanna sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got
I'm not trying to find an easy way
Picking up the pieces of a page
I'm looking for a place inside your mind
Sending it all right back
Waiting for heart attacks
Watching the days collide
Changing with the weather
Trying to keep it clear
Slither on broken tears
Searching for ways to cure
Who will make it better
Cause you will never keep me down
You can never keep me down
I wanna lift myself up to the sky
Serenade the stars as I pass by
Wanna leave it all just for a while
I'll be satellite news
I wanna lift myself above the clouds
Cut the ropes around me, you'll see me shine
Shine like the sun
Conditioned compatible youth
TV and comfort foods
Sending back down the news
They're hoping that it's better
Cause you will never keep me down
You can never keep me down
I wanna lift myself up to the sky
Serenade the stars as I pass by
Wanna leave it all just for a while
I'll be satellite news
I wanna lift myself above the clouds
Cut the ropes around me, you'll see me shine, shine
Shine like the sun
I'll shine like the sun
Yeah, I'll shine like the sun
I'll shine like the sun, shine like the sun
I wanna lift myself up to the sky
Serenade the stars as I pass by
Wanna leave it all just for a while
Cause you will never keep me down
You can never keep me down
I wanna lift myself up to the sky
Serenade the stars as I pass by
Wanna leave it all just for a while
I'll be satellite news
I wanna lift myself above the clouds
Cut the ropes around me, you'll see me shine
You'll see me shine
Shine like the sun
I wanna lift myself up to the sky
Serenade the stars as I pass by
Wanna leave it all just for a while
I'll be satellite news
I wanna lift myself above the clouds
Cut the ropes around me, you'll see me shine, shine
There's a message on my bed
A new engraving in my overloading head
Feel the walls are caving in
As the wire cuts into my butter skin
Yeah.....Overload
Love's the antidote we need
Love's the antidote we really need
When you're all by yourself
Standing on the edge of the world
Take a look at yourself
Don't fall back in
I thought I shot my conscience dead
But he's come back again to break my china head
Blown a hole right through my dream
Brought me back to earth in a rocket made for one
Yeah.....Overload
Love's the antidote we need
It's the antidote we really need
When you're all by yourself
Standing on the edge of the world
Take a look at yourself
Don't fall back in
Cause when you're all by yourself
Standing on the edge of the world
Take a look at yourself
Don't fall back in
See us on the underground
Packed up in our sardine cans
Tailor made with suits and shades
Lipstick teeth and waxwork hands
Electronic, we're electronic
Jumping on conveyor belts
Escalators in our heads
Programmed for another day
Talking to a faceless friend
Electronic, so moronic
We're electronic, we the electronic
Electronic
Hear the ticking in our beds
Find the balance in our heads
Wishing we could make a change
See the morning coming in
Electronic, so moronic
We're electronic, we the electronic
Electronic
Electronic, so moronic
We're electronic, we the electronic
Electronic
Electronic, so moronic
Got ya
I crave, I crave, I crave, I crave
A taste, a taste, a taste, a taste, a taste, a taste
Honeyfuzz, honeyfuzz
I can't go on, go on
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
alone without my honeyfuzz, honeyfuzz
Funny, it tasted so sweet like honey
D'you know what I mean? It's so funny
I never had a dream like honey, honey
Got ya
I taste, I taste, I taste, I taste
Go to waste, I taste, go to waste
I taste, go to waste
I taste your honeyfuzz, honeyfuzz
I love, I love, I love, I love, I love
I touch, I love, I love, I touch
I touch your honeyfuzz, honeyfuzz
Funny, it tasted so sweet like honey
D'you know what I mean? It's so funny
I never had a dream like honey, honey
It's so funny, it tasted so sweet like honey
I never had a dream, but honeyfuzz
Honeyfuzz
Honeyfuzz
Honeyfuzz
Yeah Yeah...
Yeah Yeah...
Yeah Yeah...
Yeah Yeah...
Lets take us back to our youth
A new solution, the truth
To when we started as friends
don't give it all away
Its just the path that we take
In which direction we break
'Cause we're taking the strain don't give it all away
Yeah...
Yeah Yeah...
She said "I will", so well, how could I ever forget?
She stood so still, so beautiful, how could I ever forget?
Now every day feels the same, you look for someone to blame
You've lost all purpose and gain, don't give it all away
They say the world is confused, twisted, blind and abused
But we're taking the strain, don't give it all away
Yeah...
Yeah Yeah...
She said "I will", so well, how could I ever forget?
She stood so still, so beautiful, how could I ever forget?
Do you want it to? (I can do it) x3
She said "I will", so well, how could I ever forget?
she stood so still, so beautiful, so beautiful...
She said "I will", so well, how could I ever forget?
she stood so still, so beautiful, how could I ever forget?
How could I ever forget?
Yeah Yeah...
(I'll never give you up,
I'll never give you up)
Out of sight, into the blue
(I'll never give you up,
I'll never give you up)
Stepping on over, just to get to you
(I'll never give you up,
I'll never give you up)
Got my head turned towards the light
(I'll never give you up,
I'll never give you up)
Catching rain with open eyes,
Been trying to reach you lately,
Been trying to reach you lately,
'Cause I can't take my eyes off you,
But I'm hoping you see me
And I can't take my mind off you,
But I'm hoping you reach me
(I'll never give you up,
I'll never give you up)
Two steps forward, one step back
(I'll never give you up,
I'll never give you up)
I can't seem to find my tracks
(I'll never give you up,
I'll never give you up)
It's so strange, the way we move
(I'll never give you up,
I'll never give you up)
Been breaking a shell, just to get to you
Been trying to reach you lately,
Been trying to reach you lately,
'Cause I can't take my eyes off you,
But I'm hoping you see me
And I can't take my mind off you,
But I'm hoping you reach me
It's times like these
I feel I'm not good enough,
Not good enough,
But how should I feel?
'Cause I can't take my eyes off you,
But I'm hoping you see me
And I can't take my mind off you,
But I'm hoping you reach me
Yeah, I can't take my eyes off you,
But I'm hoping you see me
And I can't take my mind off you,
But I'm hoping you reach me
(I'll never give you up,
Falling down
Reaching out for someone
To come down
Oblivious
To all of us, the child
That grows inside
Seventeen
Without a care, she's taking
Another ride
A sense of peace
She's waving back to faces
Carved in stone
Tinsel town
Here in tinsel town
It's pulled you down
Life in tinsel town
Overthrown
Relinquished all
Life breeds all around
A fun fair trip
A carousel
She's trying
To hang on
Here in tinsel town
Life in tinsel town
It's pulled you down
Stuck in tinsel town
I think she might make it
She has the will to go on
She's turning back pages
As the world steps on
Here in tinsel town
Life in tinsel town
It's pulled you down
Stuck in tinsel town
Alone
Alone
Alone
So Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
So Alone
Alone
Here in tinsel town
Turning over again
Here for another day
Still the thoughts of a dream
Fragments you can't escape
I won't let you down
Won't let you down
I won't let you down
Victoria (Victoria)
Let's take it from the start
Back to the beginning
Victoria (Victoria)
I can't breathe when we're apart
Without you there's nothing
Without you
Standin' out in the rain
Watchin' the traffic slow
As the light begins to fade
You're warmed by the city glow
I won't let you down
Won't let you down
I won't let you down
Victoria (Victoria)
Let's take it from the start
Back to the beginning
Victoria (Victoria)
I can't breathe when we're apart
Without you there's nothing without you
There's nothing (There's nothing)
Nothing
Turnin' over again
Here for another day
Victoria (Victoria)
Let's take it from the start
Back to the beginning
Victoria (Victoria)
I can't breathe when we're apart
Without you there's nothing
I'm cracking up but now I'm filling in the gaps with glue
With every minute every hour there's a different view
It's not that I'm unhappy al the time but I feel used
I feel it closing in the rocket-man has lit his fuse
Oh yeah, buzz!
Oh yeah, oh yeah
The clock is ticking in the kitchen as I walk away
The tap is dripping, I keep twitching as I concentrate
There's people passing, old men gasping as they climb the way
There's children smoking, drivers cursing as they go insane
Oh yeah, buzz!
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Just feel I'm choking won't you give me what I want for my disease?
I feel I'm drowning going under as I lose again
And again, and again, and again...
I need a buzz, I need a buzz, I need a buzz...
She's looking good in a new towel,
Looking clear in the new crowd,
She's so funny to be with,
So easy to forgive
See you, you see me,
We could be free,
I'll let you know
"Women in towels"
Take a look at the old suits,
Hanging around in the old school,
She's looking good with her hair down,
Feeling high in the fairground
See you, you see me
We could be free,
I'll let you know
So you could breathe
I wish you could just see yourself,
No shame, in pain (again)
"Women in towels"
"Life is work"
"It's not what you are, it's what you do"
See you, you see me
We could be free,
I'll let you know
So you could breathe
I wish you could just see yourself,
No shame, in pain (again)
"Women in towels"
Don't you think it's sad?
Happiness is dead, our rain has gone
Building up the walls
Just to see them fall away
Which way should I go?
Further up as I float
Trying to understand
Keep my feet on the ground
And live again
I'm coming down, I see myself
On the sand, I walk again
Through this land of rain
I think we know
My conscience grows
Within myself two different roads
So far from home, again
Which way should I go?
Further up as I float
Trying to understand
Keep my feet on the ground
And live again
I'm coming down, I see myself
On the sand, I walk again
Through this land of rain
Somewhere there's a place that I can be
Somewhere there is air that I can breathe in
Someday pretty soon they're gonna believe
Believe in me, believe in me
Here comes the ground, I see it now
I'm coming down, all by myself
On the sand, I walk again
Through this land of rain
Feeling so alone
Complexion white as stone
Looking for a getaway
Broken by the strain
And constant rearrangement
Anything is possible
Yeah
Anything is possible
Yeah
Loosing control of my soul but you don't know
Help me breathe
Set me free
Loosing control of my soul but you don't know
Help me breathe
Set me free
Loosing all effect
Cause feelings in descent
Conscious of deception
A bruise you keep inside
A smile that tries to hide
Anything is possible
Yeah
Loosing control of my soul but you don't know
Help me breathe
Set me free
Loosing control of my soul but you don't know
Help me breathe
Set me free
Yeah
Silence
Silence
Silence
Jumping into streams of nectar
Falling through these clouds of silver
Reaching for these angel's faces
Waking up in fields of feathers
It's tied me up inside, it's tied me up inside
Got to pull myself together
It's tied me up inside, it's tied me up inside
You spin me around, you lift me right off the ground
You twist me around, I feel like a rubberband
You spin me around, then you wind me back up
Cause I'm your rubberband
Crashing onto cotton waterfalls
Breaking my fall if I latch on
Wrapped up in these arms of velvet
Drifting in a sea of regret
It's tied me up inside, it's tied me up inside
Got to pull myself together
It's tied me up inside, it's tied me up inside
You spin me around, you lift me right off the ground
You twist me around, I feel like a rubberband
You spin me around, then you wind me back up
Cause I'm your rubberband
I wish I knew what to stay
The words escaped me today
I wish I knew what to say
Just take away the pain
Jumping into streams of nectar
Got to pull it back together
It's tied me up inside, it's tied me up inside
It's tied me up inside, it's tied me up inside
You spin me around, you lift me right off the ground
You twist me around, I feel like a rubberband
You spin me around, then you wind me back up
Cause I'm your rubberband
You spin me around, you lift me right off the ground
You twist me around, I feel like a rubberband
You spin me around, then you wind me back up
Cause I'm your rubberband
You spin me around, you lift me right off the ground
You twist me around, I feel like a rubberband
Coming around my senses torn
It's no illusion its here everyday I bleed
As long as you see it as long as you know
As long as you fake it nobody know
Break down again I'm suffering
My heads out of sync and I can't hide the pain
Is this the ending or is this the start
All that we sever all that we are
Communication connected apart
Promises given the cross of a heart
Break down again I'm suffering
My heads out of sync
And I can't find the way out of it
I can't find a way out
Break down again I'm suffering
My heads out of sync
And I can't find the way out of it
I can't find a way out
Biting down, feeling the pressure again
It's no more than we deserve, eyes closed to collect sun
Tearing it down, burning bridges away
There's no return now, leaving home today
We turn to face the storm
Just a sign of life to bring us home
Turning around, trying to face the strange
It's no more than we deserve, no more words to say
Coming around, there's no distance to go
Lying face down on the floor, reaching out for something new
We turn to face the storm
Just a sign of life to bring us home
We burn to face the storm
We lose everything and everyone
Farther... Slower...
We burn to face the storm
We lose everything and everyone
We turn to face the storm
Just a sign of life to bring us home
We burn to face the storm
Evaporate, exasperate
Watch the world with swivel hand
We're hanging on a wire
Cigaretes, nicorettes
Life's addications father stress
But who can make it better
Oh-ho-ho!
Watch me rise
Oh-ho-ho!
Synchronized
Take me high
Space age hero
Pain
Take the strain
Go insane
Like a monkey in a cage
Melting in a fire
Dislocate, make the break
Wash the stain right off your feet
We're hanging on a wier, oh
Oh-ho-ho!
Watch me rise
Oh-ho-ho!
Synchronized
Take me high
Space age hero
Dissident
Take the stand
Live the system, walk the plank
We're hanging on a wire
Oh-ho-ho!
Watch me rise
Oh-ho-ho!
Synchronized
Take me high
Space age hero
Oh-ho-ho!
Watch me rise
Oh-ho-ho!
Synchronized
Take me high
Push holes in the plastic
Immaculate dolls in the hands of a child with a ratchet
Two fingers too out of control
The confusion shall leave us to vultures and preachers
I hate it...
Can't take it...
I can't believe it
Why can't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
Turn over another day older
Another day nearer to jumping on over
Bloodsuckers and lovers that leave you
And tease you and cheat you, deceive you I see through
I hate it...
Don't want it...
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
I'll say what I wanna say
I'll say what I wanna say
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Wishing for a summer without rain
Seeing is believing for ourselves
Breathing as we're sinking to the sand
But I will wait for her arms
Then I can reach for the stars
I will wait for her love
Tomorrow shine
Wishing for a lover, not just a friend
Reaching for a hand to pull me in
But I will wait for her arms
Then I can reach for the stars
I will wait for her love
Tomorrow shine
Shine on, shine on
Waiting for a summer without rain
Reaching for the starlet in the sky, again
But I will wait for her arms
Then I can reach for the stars
I will wait for her love
Tomorrow shine
But I will wait for her arms
Then I can reach for the stars
I will wait for her love
Tomorrow shine, tomorrow shine
Tomorrow shine, tomorrow shine
I wanna watch you glow
I love to see you glow
I wanna see the sun shine out
And heal the aching bones
I wanna set you free
Find sweet harmony
Cause I can see a rainbow now
Smiling through the trees
Glow, glow, forever glow
Glow, glow, forever glow
I wanna let you know
Let the river flow
Find that place to be
Set your spirit free
Lighten up the shade
Bring color to the day
A perfect kind of you
A perfect kind of me
Glow, glow, forever glow
Glow, glow, forever glow
28, looking good
She's a fire, she's a fire, she's a.
It's been a way since she was born
modern life poker lives
She carries the bruises upon her face
it's been a way since she was born
What are you gonna do?
I said what are you gonna do?
This is a call to you
To take away the pain
I'm giving it all to you
Tomorrow's may be too late
Can't stop the violence of youth
into the ashes
This is a call to you
Suddenly I can see
She's a fire (? fight?) she's a fire (? fight?) she's a.
It's been a way since she was born
City lights, broken lives, so much sorrow on the streets
it's been a... (etc)
Chorus
This is the right time, this is the right time
Show it to me one way,
I've gotta see it all,
Scientific Radar,
Reaching through the storm,
Theres got to be hope,
As people move on,
We've got to keep on believing.
It's time to give it everything,
A world unite let us in,
Hear me cry,
Suffocate,
let them die,
A better life say goodbye,
Hear me cry.
I see everything silver & gold,
Way up im reaching out,
Clouds white as snow,
There's gotta be hope,
As people move on,
We've gotta keep believing.
Hear me cry,
Why dont they hear me,
Suffocate,
Let them die,
A better life to say goodbye,
Give,
Stay for life
For life
All you discover
Stay for life
For life
This moment together
To heal yourself
Love can heal
Can't watch you fall
Pain on pain
Don't come back here again
Shame on pain
Took the last breath away
Save yourself
Yourself
lost for a second
Save yourself
Yourself
bury the concious
And heal yourself
You can heal
Can't watch you fall
Pain on pain
Don't come back here again
Shame on pain
Took the last breath away
Pain on pain
Pain
Yeah
Wait for love
For love
You know it can happen
Wait for love
For love
The touch of a hand
To heal yourself
You can heal
Can't watch you fall
Pain on pain
Don't come back here again
Shame on pain
Took the last breath away
When I lie back and close my eyes, it feels like
You're sending love back down to me.
I try to keep you there inside with me,
But you leave and it's so quiet tonight.
Conscience finds a place to hide inside,
Lonely as my thoughts divide tonight,
I hear you, never thought that I'd ever be alone.
She laid right here, right here,
Beside me in this bed.
I can still hear her voice, it echoes in my head.
It's left a hole, a space inside, buried the love,
Shut out the light.
I don't know where to turn.
And all the places that I've seen with you,
What I would give to have you by my side.
I stare at shadows as they twist... calling,
Imagination running wild tonight.
Conscience finds a place to hide inside,
Lonely as my thoughts divide tonight,
I hear you, never thought that I'd ever be alone.
She laid right here, right here,
Beside me in this bed.
I can still hear her voice, it echoes in my head.
It's left a hole, a space inside, buried the love,
Shut out the light.
I don't know where to turn.
I don't know where to turn.
If I let go, how will it end?
If I let go, how will it end?
She laid right here, right here
Beside me in this bed
I can still hear her voice, it echoes in my head
I'll wait for you to come
Cause I'm lost, my will has gone
I don't know which step to take
You're living in my head.
I walk with emptiness
Breathing the loneliness
Tell me where I belong
You're living in my head.
I'll wait for you to come
Cause I'm lost, my will has gone
I don't know which step to take
You're living in my head.
What do you say?
What do you think about miracles?
Miracles are something's you dream about
We are looking for a new way out
Slipping away, losing all sense of reality
Sacrifice, love and democracy
We burn it all down
Cos all our lives
We're waiting for something new
Waiting for someone like you
We are the people
Who let this whole thing go
Just like the people you know
We are the reason
We're blinded by the goal
We are the people, you know
Burning away
Light in the sky so you can bring us home
Further, further down an open road
We've torn it all down
Why do we pray, why do we talk about angels?
Flying with their golden wings
We've burned it all down
Cos all our lives
We're waiting for something new
Waiting for someone like you
We are the people
Who let this whole thing go
Just like the people you know
We are the reason
We're blinded by the goal
We are the people you know
Step it up again
We can be silenced
We can be brave
We can be broken
All can be saved
Office blocks, corner shops, traffic jams on every street, The same old rush around
Obsolete, I'm a freak, In a show on Brighton beach, As the snow comes down
Reality's kicking me, Knocking me right off my feet, As the sky spins round
We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
Laundry stops, by the lock, On a Sunday afternoon, With all that fuss
Cantelowes skateboard shows, tennants Extra by a row of recycle bins
We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
We're waiting for changes
Different perspectives
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
Take a ride to Charing Cross, Join the masses as they shop, Their lives away
29's the northern line, Heading back to lose our minds, To break the chain
We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
We're waiting for changes
Different perspectives
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's dead
I'm waiting for changes
I'm waiting for changes
I'm waiting for changes
Falling down, reaching out, For someone to come down
Oblivious to all of us, The child that grows inside
Seventeen without a care, She's taking another ride
A sense of peace she's waving back, To faces carved in stone
Tinsel town, here in tinsel town, It's pulled you down
Life in tinsel town, Overthrown, Relinquished all
Life breeds all around, A fun fair trip a carousel
She's trying to hang on, Here in Tinsel town
Life in tinsel town, It's pulled you down
Stuck in tinsel town, I think she might make it
She has the will to go on, She's turning back pages as the world steps on
Here in tinsel town, Life in tinsel town
Its pulled you down, Stuck in tinsel town
Alone, Alone, Alone, So Alone, Here in Tinsel town
Feel like I lost my self today
The thought of rejection burns away
It's been two weeks since she called
I'm going out of my tiny mind everyday
You will never know
If you can't feel my heart the way it beats, it slows, slows
Today I almost choked, I thought we got along
I guess we got it wrong
Driving around, it's ten below
It's freezing outside, November calls
It's been two weeks since she left
I'm going out of my tiny mind everyday
You will never know
If you can't feel my heart the way it beats, it slows, slows
Today I almost choked, I thought we got along
I guess we got it wrong
Say hello, say hello, say hello to Eve (Run out of time)
This love inside feels like the enemy
Say hello, say hello, say hello from me (Run out of time)
She waved goodbye as I watched her leave
You will never know
If you can't feel my heart the way it beats, it slows, slows
Today I almost choked, I thought we got along
We gotta fall back, take cover
Things are goin' down, we're headin' for the gutter
I'm feelin' headstrong, the kids are kickin'
Ridin' on the pavements, feedin' the addiction
I wanna keep it all alive
Fires burnin' to sunrise
I wanna keep it all alive
If you get your head straight
You can find an escape
You can get a headstart
You can get a life
Good times, good times ahead
(There's no limit)
You can go the right way
Follow what the signs say
This could be the best day
You can get a life
Good times, good times ahead
(There's no limit)
Out on the streets now, inner city
You gotta burn bright, there's no pity
You reach up, follow ya heart
You gotta stand tall, keep your head up front
I wanna keep it all alive
Fires burnin' to sunrise
I wanna keep it all alive
If you get your head straight
You can find an escape
You can get a headstart
You can get a life
Good times, good times ahead
(There's no limit)
You can go the right way
Follow what the signs say
This could be the best day
You can get a life
Good times, good times ahead
(There's no limit)
We step out or we step in
Live alright as I climb down
I wanna keep it all alive
Fires burnin' to sunrise
I wanna keep it all alive
If you get your head straight
You can find an escape
You can get a headstart
You can get a life
Good times, good times ahead
(There's no limit)
You can go the right way
Follow what the signs say
This could be the best day
You can get a life
Good times, good times ahead
(There's no limit)
Good times, good times ahead
Draw a line around your mind, you feel lost in thought tonight
Lying back on the bed, your legs are restless, eyes are red
You drift back until you fall a hundred feet below, you call out
There's no other way
In all honesty I always thought that we would just be friends
Looking back on fading photographs, now everything has changed
Stepping up to the line, every day seems so defined
Every smile that you fake, the same old promises you break
But you're feeling so alive, your heart is full of hope tonight
There's no other way
In all honesty I always thought that we would just be friends
Looking back on fading photographs, forever changing trends
I'll wait for you right here on foreign land
In all honesty I always thought that we would just be friends
In all honesty I always thought that we would just be friends
Looking back on fading photographs, forever changing trends
I'll wait for you right here on foreign land
I wish that I could fly with you
Just wanna be with you
You've torn a little piece of skin
You make me feel alive and new
You are my oxygen
I'm sucking love through a tube
You feed me like a drug again
You're my addiction
My cigarettes and Absolut
I've gotta pull myself away
Because I'm coming down
Crashing back down to you
I'm coming down
Yes I'm coming down
Put the crashmat out
Cause I'm coming down
Yes I'm coming down
Cause I'm coming down
Put the crashmat out
You cut me and I bleed again
You it's funny but...
The pleasure in pain is true
You hit me like an accident
I'm in an aeroplane
Coming back down to earth
I'm searching for an easy way
You know that yesterday
Seems they never sent you away
I'm pulling on the cord again
Because I'm coming down
Crashing back down to you
I'm coming down
Yes I'm coming down
Put the crashmat out
Cause I'm coming down
Yes I'm coming down
I'm coming around
Put the crashmat out
Put the crashmat out
You make me feel alive and new
You are my oxygen
I'm sucking love through a tube
You feed me like a drug again
But now I'm coming down
Crashing back down to you
I'm coming down
Yes I'm coming down
Put the crashmat out
Cause I'm coming around
Cause I'm coming around
I'm coming down
Put the crashmat out
Cause I'm coming down
Yes I'm coming down
I'm coming around
Put the crashmat out
Cause I'm coming down
Yes I'm coming down
Just take it nice and slow
Like jelly in a mould
Dressed in a perfect skin
You're like a mannequin
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're a sex type drug
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're the real thing
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're a sex type drug
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're the real thing
Just need to make you see
Perfection is a sin, yeah
Just feed you like a dog
Just wanna hear you come
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're a sex type drug
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're the real thing
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're a sex type drug
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're the real thing
Sex type thing
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
You feed me like a drug
I lick you up and swallow
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're a sex type drug
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're the real thing
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're a sex type drug
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're the real thing
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're a sex type drug
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo, you're the real thing
She spent the weekend getting clean
Flushing out the enemy
Her body shivered from the strain
Somehow she can turn her life around
She kept on falling to the ground
Her head was heavy, defenses down
Another day, another week
Somehow she can turn her life around
Live beside a country loving town
She will be waiting alone at night
By a clock that chimes
Dreams of another life
No one to save her, pull her back
From the devil inside
The TV's on but there's no sound
Her confidence was shot down
She felt the water at her feet
Dreaming there's an ocean all around
Childhood memories at Camber Sands
She will be waiting alone at night
By a clock that chimes
Dreams of another life
No one to save her, pull her back
From the devil inside
She lay down to hearing these voices
Calling in the distance to get out
The rain had stopped, above there was a rainbow
Colours reaching up between the clouds
Lighting up that country loving town
She will be waiting alone at night
By a clock that chimes
No one to save her, pull her back
From the devil inside
She will wait now
She will be waiting alone at night
By a clock that chimes
Dreams of another life
No one to save her, pull her back
From the devil inside
She will wait now
She will be waiting
She will wait now
Alone at night
Dreams of another life
No one to save her
She will wait now
Cause the devil's inside
Get away from me and so she said
You're like a social disease
I'm so tired of being afraid of you
(......) she sees
Save yourself look and see
Think about it, sweet sixteen
You could be anywhere
See yourself standing there
She's my death She's my death
He can't stop imposing himself on her
He likes the way that she is
His heart beats, fingers all over her
His dirty breath smells of beer
Save yourself look and see
Think about it, sweet sixteen
You could be anywhere
See yourself standing there
She's my death She's my death
Come a little closer to me
Come a little nearer come on
She works late so she can keep away
Too scared to go to the police
So young he's working her like a dog
One day while she was searching there
She came across a new toy
Her eyes filled as she loaded the weapon
Her mind racing she cries
Save yourself look and see
Think about it, sweet sixteen
You could be anywhere
See yourself standing there
Save yourself look and see
Think about it, sweet sixteen
She's my death
She's my death
Death
She's my death
Staring at the ideal world,
The bubble begins to break,
Gazing at the ceiling cracks,
The more the picture fades,
It's just that i can't see,
When im down like this,
I just feel the wieght,
As i try to resist.
It doesn't matter when i dream away,
Life in a Stereo World,
Something happens, i Drift away (away)
Floating out of sync again,
Reaching for a cloud,
Levitating high, i'm free,
Turning myself around,
Just as i feel fine,
It begins to break,
Now the pain is here,
What a big mistake.
It just explodes as i drift in,
A thousand hands caress my skin,
The words we say, Old flowers fade away
Remember yesterday, Wish it would bloom again
Apathy and pain, Here comes the Autumn rain
Old apologies scattered in the wings of fate
Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when its
Don't hesitate, cause you will bleed
A thousand tears won't wash it clean
Don't hesitate cause you can free yourself
Evergreen, Evergreen
Down on my knees, Crawling though the streets again
Surrendered to my needs, So I can breathe the air
You're my evergreen, Regents Park in spring
It takes me to a place, Where I can dream again
Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it rains
I just want some place where I can breathe without this bitter taste
Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it's grey
It all looks black and white today
You're my evergreen, Regents Park in spring
It takes me to a place, Where I can dream again
Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it rains
Sitting in today, watching traffic buzzing by, and faces nosing in
A victim of regret, it glitters and it fades away, like silver turning grey
Washed it all away, waiting for this dream to end, before it sucks me in
I'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I'm holding out my hand but I'm alone
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
Crashing on the ground, the silence seems to suffocate, and bury me again
Waiting for a taste, of happiness to lift me free, and carry me away
I'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I know it's just a dream but I'm alive
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
I'm still missing yesterday
I'll wait, I'll wait for you tonight.
Lost another week, feeling like a leper in, a world of vanity
It's killing me today, addiction pulls you down, you know
And she's the drug I need
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
Sittin back i only wish,
Today will turn out fine,
And wash away the stain,
The poison in my eyes,
What do you recommend,
I feel my life descending,
I'm fallin outta reach,
Catch me as i bleed (again)
Im not insane,
Can't reach the pain.
If i could be all by myself,
i could be me,
I you could see, live with my pain,
The thoughts that i keep.
I hate the way they are,
Thier patronising thoughts,
Tried to get inside my head,
Ask the questions i have read,
But one thing makes it hard,
Feel so fragile as i cry,
So confused yet so alive,
So abused the system lied,
You lied to me.
Im not insane,
Can't reach the pain.
Alone,
Alone.
Hands appeared around my neck,
Felt so hard to breath i stared,
As my focus turned to haze,
I could see them.
Im not insane,
Can't reach the pain.
If i could be all by myself,
I could be free,
If you could see, live with my pain,
The thoughts that i keep,
Alone, Alone, Alone.
Descend,
Follow the river
Wallow in silver
Voices draw nearer
I'm counting out the day's wage
Let it be known, lettin' it out
Let it be known, lettin' it out
See it so near, it seems so far
It's when you're here, It's where you are
See it so clear
Making my head spin
Watching the world sing
Holding me under
Try and get a hold son
Let it be known, lettin' it out
Let it be known, lettin' it out
See it so near, it seems so far
It's when you're here, it's where you are
See it so clear
Pale and wanton
Dreams forgotten
No use crying
I feel like chicken on a bone, chicken on a bone
See it so near, it seems so far
It's when you're here, it's where you are
See it so clear
Lettin' it out
Oh, let it be known, let it be known
Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out
Let it be known, let it be known
Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out
Hello, hello, hello..
Let it be known, let it be known
Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out
Let it be known, let it be known
{VERSE 1}
with one light on in one room
i know your up when i get home
with one small step upon the stair
i know your look when i get there
{CHORUS}
If you were a king up there on your throne
would you be wise enough 2 let me go
for this queen you think you own
wants 2 be a hunter again
wants 2 see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again
so let me go
{VERSE 2}
the unthread book and painful look
the tvs on and the sound is down
one long pause and then you begin
oh look wot the cats brought in
{CHORUS}
{REFRAIN}
for the crown you've placed upon my head feels so heavy now
and i dont know what to say to you but i'll smile anyhow
and all the time i'm thinking, thinking
i want 2 be a hunter again, want to see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again so let me go
I've got one thing left to say
I hope that things turn out OK
Maybe some day you will come around
Mabye we're too self-obsessed, materialistic, over-sexed
Energizers, silicone, aviators, mobile phones
I'll tell you one thing, gonna make it
Start a new life, be connected
Cause you will never see me drown, I'll build a ship when bridges burn
I don't want to fall back in, defenses down when eyes are staring in, staring in
San Diego (San Diego) that's where I'll go (that's where I'll go)
We'll watch the waves rise yeah as bodies glisten in the sun
San Diego sounds like fun
I just wanna find that place, journey into outer space
Watch the world through telescopes, send back photos to the folks
I'll tell you one thing, gonna make it
Start a new life, be connected
Cause you will never see me drown, I'll build a ship when bridges burn, yeah
I don't want to fall back in, defenses down when eyes are staring in, staring in
San Diego (San Diego) that's where I'll go (that's where I'll go)
We'll watch the waves rise yeah as bodies glisten in the sun
San Diego (San Diego) that's where I'll go (that's where I'll go)
We'll watch the waves rise yeah as bodies glisten in the sun
San Diego sounds like fun, fun
Me, myself I always burn my fears away
as substance turns me into something I can't be
San Diego (San Diego) that's where I'll go (that's where I'll go)
We'll watch the waves rise yeah as bodies glisten in the sun
San Diego (San Diego) that's where I'll go (that's where I'll go)
We'll watch the waves rise yeah as bodies glisten in the sun
San Diego (San Diego) that's where I'll go (that's where I'll go)
Yeah, feel the rush, yeah!
I'm gonna let it happen, let it show
Feel the pressure, it won't let go
It won't let go
I wanna feel the rush, feel the heat
Let it happen, it might release
You don't know, you don't know, know, know, know
It's what I like, need, require
It's where I wanna be
Takes me higher
You know I can't believe
I'm gonna take it all, razorblade
I'm tired of it
It takes me higher
It take me up, it takes me higher
I wanna feel the rush, feel the heat
Let it happen, it might release
You don't know, you don't know, know, know, know
It's what I like, need, require
It's where I wanna be
Takes me higher
You know I can't believe
Feeder me!
You know I don't receive
I was, I was you
Just feel the rush, just feel the rush, just feel the rush
Yeah!
Rush!
Rush!
Ooh yeah, yeah!
It's what I like, need, require
It's where I wanna be
Takes me higher
You know I can't believe
Feeder me!
You know I don't receive
I was, I was you
Rush
Fuck!
Don't know if I could ever do it
Can't keep your fingers still
I fell once, you didn't see it
Face on the ground, I'm still here
Pray this is not forever
You're like a sacred stone
I'll climb higher till I see it
And then I'll let you know it's me
What does it take to make you see?
(Me)
That you were wrong
(Suffer)
I can't turn away from you like a girl and run
Just wanna talk about it, think about it
Will you listen?
(I can't see)
You're like the Mona Lisa I can't find
(I can't see it)
I love the way you look at me
As I surround myself with pictures of pain
Slapped down, wish that I could feel it
Can't pull myself away
Don't think I will ever make it
I'm in the acid rain, yeah
I'll crack up if I don't see it
They'll have to hold me down
Both hands tied, they're getting tighter
But no one hears me call, it's me
What does it take to make you see?
(Me)
That you were alone
(Suffer)
I can't turn away from me like a girl and run
Just wanna talk about it, think about it
Will you listen?
(I can't see)
You're like the Mona Lisa I can't find
(I can't see it)
I love the way you look at me
As I surround myself with pictures of pain, pictures of pain
See me, another one around my faith, hear me
What does it take to make you understand?
If it won't work I'll understand
What does it take to make you see?
Just wanna talk about it, think about it
Will you listen?
(I am me)
You're like the Mona Lisa I can't find
(Cover me)
I love the way you look at me as I surround
(I am her)
Myself with pictures of pain
Just wanna talk about it, think about it
Will you listen?
(You don't see it)
You're like the Mona Lisa I can't find
(You can't reach it)
Looking at all of your friends
Wishing you could be like them
Running on glass floors again
Just so you can be knocked down
Swimming in oceans of pain
Trying as it pulls you in
Wrapping your heart up in chains
Cause someone always lets you down
Get inside my head
Get inside my head
Get inside my head
And light it up again
I wonder do you feel the same
Waiting for the days to end
Lying with thoughts that invade
They smother you and everyone
Flying on feelings again
Biting on a poison tounge
Climbing up mountains of pain
Just so you can be knocked down
Get inside my head
Get inside my head
Get inside my head
And light it up again
Get inside my head
Get inside my head
Get inside my head
Summer break, all we need to take
Check again, whip me basket case
Summer girl, cherry lips I taste
Of a spill, as she licks my face
Oh no, here I go again
Oh yeah, upside down again
Daisy chain, tie me up again
As it breaks, pulls me in again
Hesitate, turn away to pain
Celebrate, feeling it twist the skin
Oh no, here I go again
Oh yeah, upside down again
I don't know how, I don't know how
She makes me feel
I don't know how, I don't know how
I turn the wheel
Look outside
I don't know how, I don't know how
She makes me feel
I don't know how, I don't know how
I turn the wheel
And live!
Oh no, here I go again
Oh yeah, I'm upside down again
I don't know how, I don't know how
She makes me feel
I don't know how, I don't know how
I turn the wheel
Turn the wheel
I don't know how, I don't know how
She makes me feel
I don't know how, I don't know how
I've got nowhere to hide
When her ghost lives inside my body
I feel the weight from within
As the lids of my eyes get heavy
Yeah, are you feeling it too?
Yeah, I hope you're feeling it too
Here I go, let them know I'm heading back to Idaho
All the way to USA, I've thought about you every single
second since I got home
I may find a better view, find a better... view
Idaho
There's someone I left behind
She found a place in my mind that's steady
A constant wave of regret
I need a change in my life, I'm ready
Yeah, are you feeling it too?
Yeah, I hope you're feeling it too
Here I go, let them know I'm heading back to Idaho
All the way to USA, I've thought about you every single
second since I got home
I may find a better view, find a better...
Yeah, are you feeling it too?
Yeah, I hope you're feeling it too
Here I go, let them know I'm heading back to Idaho
All the way to USA, I've thought about you every single
second since I got home
I may find a better view, find a better...
Here I go, let them know I'm heading back to Idaho
All the way to USA, I've thought about you every single
second since I got home
I may find a better view, find a better... view
Idaho
Pay the rent, make the dent
Break the routine, smell the stench
Take the pill, just for thrills
Sitting on your silk screen beds
Taste the dirt of a world
Full of violence and regrets
Take a bite out of life
Don't bring me down (Down, down, down, down...)
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Turn your back, get in sack
Twisted faces, heart attacks
Suicide, selfish pride
Fornication, broken lives
Ecstasy, casualty
Peace of mind, wipe it clean
Take a bite out of life
Don't bring me down (Down, down, down, down...)
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Down, down
Down, down
Down, down
Down, down...
mmm, mmm
Violent society (why did you lie to me?)
What do you want from me? (in the meantime)
Violent society (why did you lie to me?)
Out on the city streets, how could I ever leave?
Fighting anxiety (it's got a hold of me)
Buried the enemy (for the last time)
Fighting anxiety (it's got a hold of me)
Or it will never be the way it used to be

Face against the ground
Torn, but you can stand
Your will is strong, but you have now
I know you can save us
Faith is on your side
Fears you can't deny
It's burned a hole, right through your soul
But I know you can save us
Save us now
Don't say goodbye
I know you can save us
Don't wave goodbye
But nothing can break us
Don't say goodbye

Kill, kill or be killed for
Expected life to be so safe
Caught, caught in a mantrap
Another part of me has changed
Maybe I could swim
Can't help myself
It's funny but it seems
I lose myself
I'm lost inside a dream
I hate myself
The more that I believe
Can't find my way
Fill, filled with emotion
Sailing off the edge again
Drown, drown all devotion
Riding on a drift to hell
Maybe I could swim
Can't help myself
It's funny but it seems
I lose myself
I'm lost inside a dream
I hate myself
The more that I believe
Can't find my way
She's looking good in a new towel,
Looking clear in the new crowd,
She's so funny to be with,
So easy to forgive
See you, you see me,
We could be free,
I'll let you know
"Women in towels"
Take a look at the old suits,
Hanging around in the old school,
She's looking good with her hair down,
Feeling high in the fairground
See you, you see me
We could be free,
You've gotta live
So you could breathe
I wish you could just see yourself,
No shame, in pain (again)
"Women in towels"
"Life is work"
"It's not what you are, it's what you do"
See you, you see me
We could be free,
You've gotta live
So you could breathe
I wish you could just see yourself,
No shame, in pain (again)
"Women in towels"
Yeah, we're gonna make mistakes
Politicians shake and fakes
Backs against the wall
Feel the world about to blow
Yeah, I wanna stay in
Were gonna turn it all around
Find new trees on better ground
Taste the easy life
Can't you feel it's gonna blow?
Yeah, I wanna stay in
Growin' old with you
What a thing to do
Growin' old with you
Just what I'm gonna do?
Thinking back to '86
Summer days out in the sticks
Black Sabbath everyday
Small town life has had its way
Yeah, I wanna be free
Took the open road in haste
Time to jump out of the cage
Experience the world
Drawing circles round the sun
Yeah, I wanna be free
Growin' old with you
What a thing to do
Growin' old with you
Just what I'm gonna do?
Growin' old with you
You and I used to meet the same
Wrapped together in cellophane
We can try to get away
Drift forever, lost in
Space... (We're getting better all the time)
Space... (We're getting better all the time)
Space... (We're getting better all the time)
Safe... (We're getting better all the time)
You can try to change my day
Lock me up and you watch me fade
You and I can emulate
Drift together, lost in
Space... (We're getting better all the time)
Space... (We're getting better all the time)
Safe... (We're getting better all the time)
Safe... (We're getting better all the time)
Decompress again (Pressure, pressure, pressure...)
Take control again
Connected once again
We're starting to descend
Space... (We're getting better all the time)
Space... (We're getting better all the time)
Safe... (We're getting better all the time)
Safe... (We're getting better all the time)
Space... (We're getting better all the time)
Space... (We're getting better all the time)
Safe... (We're getting better all the time)
I can't dress so I can't dance to disco
I can't move and I hate the way my feet go
I can't dress but she thinks I'm on the clothes show
Why can't she see?
It's so sad, she always sees the good side
Life sucks when you're lying on the inside
She's so sweet she covers me with honey
Why can't she see?
Disco!
I can't dance to disco
Disco!
White suits and gigolos
I'm a whore, paranoid and schizo
Hit the floor, chewing on the lino
I'm a mess, throw me like a yo-yo
Why can't you see?
Disco!
I can't dance to disco
Disco!
White suits and gigolos
Disco!
I can't dance to disco
Disco!
White suits and gigolos
Oh I hate those disco kings
Silk shirts and signet rings
Oh I hate those greasy kings
Cuban heels and rubber skins
Disco!
I can't dance to disco
Disco!
White suits and gigolos
Disco!
I can't dance to disco
Disco!
White suits and gigolos
Disco!
I can't dance to disco!
Disco!
I can't live for disco!
Disco!
I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
You don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing you
Can't stand losing you
Can't stand losing you
Can't stand losing you
I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you
I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care so I won't cry
But you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
On your head
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
Love in, love out,
Find the feeling
Stream in, stream out,
Time for healing
You feel the moment's gone too soon,
You're watching clouds come over you.
Torn in two,
You close your eyes for some place new,
Torn in two
And I feel it's going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
I'm waiting for your healing hand,
One touch could bring me round
I feel it's going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
It's just the way I'm feeling.
Glow in, burn out,
Lost the feeling
Bruise in, you bruise out,
Nurse the bleeding
Torn in two,
Each time we bruise
And I feel it's going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
I'm waiting for your healing hand,
One touch could bring me round
I feel we're going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
It's just the way I'm feeling.
Yeah yeah, it's just the way I'm feeling.
Two different views,
As words confuse and break
I can't get out,
There's no way out of here,
I can't get clear.
Love in, love out,
Find the feeling.
And I feel it's going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
I'm waiting for your healing hand,
One touch could bring me round
I feel we're going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
It's just the way I'm feeling.
Yeah yeah, it's just the way I'm feeling.
Yeah yeah, it's just the way I'm feeling.
Yeah yeah, it's just the way I'm feeling.
Sent you the flowers, I've broken the trust
It's hard to surrender, it's hard to give up
Those summers together, now everything is gone
I'll always remember, you'll always be young, young
Somewhere she's sitting back looking
at pictures that hang on the walls, oh
Maybe those moments together come back to her and she recalls
I still feel that somewhere you're alone
And I can't sleep cause somewhere you're alone
She was the finest, she had it all,
She was an angel, I worshiped her soul
Somewhere she's sitting back looking
at pictures that hang on the walls, oh
Maybe those moments together come back to her and she recalls
I still feel that somewhere you're alone
And I can't sleep cause somewhere you're alone
Somewhere she's sitting back looking at pictures that hang on the walls
Maybe those moments together come back to her and she recalls
I still feel that somewhere you're alone
And I can't sleep cause somewhere you're alone
We're laughing in the face of fear again
We close our eyes and watch it disappear
Stepping on the stones as we sink in
We jump into the fires of hopelessness, forever
Cause it's falling again, catch me
We've swallowed the pills and the pain
It's falling again, but no one sees
It's a 21st century meltdown
Submitted to the fears of loneliness
Degenerate and jumping off the edge
We build our homes, but live inside our heads
Hoping that the dreams will keep us sane, forever
Cause it's falling again, catch me
We've swallowed the pills and the pain
It's falling again, but no one sees
It's a 21st century meltdown
Gone for days
Cut the chase
Bite the bullet time
Ease the pain
Give me something new she said
Tell me something new instead
Fornicate
A love to break
I know we're all so self obsessed, so materialistic, over-sexed
I know we're all so self assured, burn a hole right through this perfect world
Blown away
Learn to taste
Find the essence now
Shake the frame
Give me something new she said
Tell me something new instead
Give me something new she said
Tell me something new instead
I know we're all so self obsessed, so materialistic, over-sexed
I know we're all so self assured, burn a hole right through this perfect world
Yeah, I wish I could be like you
Yeah, I wish I could be like you
We held their place, and stars come down, I must confess
She said...
I must contest we're too far gone, our hands won't mesh
She said...
You're the milk
Ease the guilt
There's no substitute
You're the milk
I know we're all so self obsessed, so materialistic, over-sexed
I know we're all so self assured, burn a hole right through this perfect world
Yeah, I wish I could be like you
Yeah, I wish I could be like you
Yeah, I wish I could be like you
It makes no difference when it's fun
Senses shot away who gives a damn
Who I am
I'm opaque
Left to stand out in the crowd
Insecurities come flooding in, the hooks are in
But I'm OK
Don't you see we're in skin deep
Cut me free again and watch me bleed
Turning frequencies inside
Find the perfect place to be alive, finalize
I'm opaque
Substitute the way you feel
Open up your mind run different modes
Break colour codes
On my way
Don't you see we're in skin deep
Cut me free again and watch me bleed
Don't you see we're in skin deep
Cut me free again and watch me bleed
Drawing circles on a twisted mouth that frowns again today...
We're finding pleasure in a life so short, but that's OK
Lift the world right out from me
Break the cable find the everglow
You never know
I'm opaque
Don't you see we're in skin deep
Cut me free again and watch me bleed
Don't you see we're in skin deep
Cut me free again and watch me bleed
Don't you see we're in skin deep
She's always trying to work it out
Sitting in a parked car
Music on the stereo is blaring out
Shutting out the world
People always say
What you gonna do now
Are you gonna go far
Gonna follow your heart till it stops
She could never say why
'Cause she's leaving tonight
She would never say why
'Cause she's leaving
Jessie always wanted to get away
Drive across the border, head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water, blinded by the sun
Jessie, are you gonna leave now, are you gonna leave town
It's funny how she hesitates
She wonders why she still cares
Tomorrow seems so far away
This moment could be hers
People always say
What you gonna do now
Are you gonna go far
Gonna follow your heart till it stops
She could never say why
'Cause she's leaving tonight
She would never say why
'Cause she's leaving
Jesse always wanted to get away
Drive across the border, head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water, blinded by the sun
Jesse, are you gonna leave now, are you gonna leave town
Looking for the answer
She won't be the last one out
Trying to get a head start
Find her way through the crowds right now
Jesse always wanted to get away
Drive across the border, head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water, blinded by the sun
Jesse, don't leave it too long, too long now
Jesse always wanted to get away
Drive across the border, head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water, blinded by the sun

Standing in an open space, surrounded by views as you
escape,
You find a place.
Forgotten what it's like to lose freedom and the right
for you to choose,
Which step to take.
As we go through this life,
Things can get a little bit twisted from time to time,
But we'll know, when it's right
It's then we go
We take fire from the sun
This planet's cold, we'll find some place we belong
We've been shining in the dark, holding on together
Just like children of the sun
Feeling like we're here again, staring in the face of
circumstance
We understand
Fortune flying in the wind, turning every corner in
this town,
No place to land
As we go through this life,
Things can get a little bit twisted from time to time,
But we know, when it's right
It's then we go
We take fire from the sun
This planet's cold, we'll find someplace we belong
We've been shining in the dark, holding on together
Just like children of the sun
We will never feel alone again, as we walk across
greener land
As we climb up from a place below, below
We are guided by a safer hand, something tells us not
to look back down,
All of this can be yours
It's then we go
We take fire from the sun
This planet's cold, we'll find someplace we belong
We've been shining in the dark, holding on together
Just like children of the sun
We're like children of the sun
Kill, kill or be killed for
Expected life to be so safe
Caught, caught in a mantrap
Another part of me has changed
Maybe I could swim
Can't help myself
It's funny but it seems
I lose myself
I'm lost inside a dream
I hate myself
The more that I believe
Can't find my way
Fill, filled with emotion
Sailing off the edge again
Drown, drown all devotion
Riding on a drift to hell
Maybe I could swim
Can't help myself
It's funny but it seems
I lose myself
I'm lost inside a dream
I hate myself
The more that I believe
Can't find my way
Can't find my way.
Lying on a bed
Flying in my head
Wishing for the sun
Don't let the rain man come
Open up the sky
Stop living in denial
Cut the ropes on me
Feel myself float free
Say hello to the sun when the morning comes
Wave goodbye to the rain, it only brings you pain
Say hello to the sun when the morning comes
We're climbing up the walls
Clutching at your straw
Waving to be seen
Holding on to dreams
Stop living in disguise
Can't cover up my eyes
A new solution's here
Don't watch it disappear
Say hello to the sun when the morning comes
Wave goodbye to the rain, it only brings you pain
Say hello to the sun when the morning comes...
We could always fly into a coloured sky
I think that I've arrived in techni-coloured style
I'm turning upside down, float into the ground
It's alright
Say hello to the sun when the morning comes
Wave goodbye to the rain, it only brings you pain
We all ferment, a face can change
But souls stay young
We're all connected so take a journey
With someone learn to be as one
Still living, sinking, falling, twisting
But I'm breathing you in
Breathing you in oxygen, oxygen
We all ferment, a taste can change
From days so young
You feel rejected, just hold your head up
To the sun learn to be as one
Still living, sinking, falling, we're still living, drifting
I'm breathing you in, breathing you in
Still living, sinking, feeding, twisting, I'm living
I'm breathing you in, breathing you in
Disconnecting oxygen, oxygen, oxygen
Still living, sinking, falling, twisting, still living
I'm breathing you in, breathing you in
Still living, sinking, falling, drifting, we're living
I don't want to be the one who sleeps alone
I don't want to feel this emptiness surrounding me, no place to go
I don't want to walk along these streets alone
I don't want to turn my head around
And feel that there's no colour anymore
Moving to the left - where should I go
Moving to the right - Soho side shows
People come and people go
Moving to the left - all they ever wished for
Moving to the right - in this life is still insight
Everywhere I go, places that I know
Summer is alive (Look into the light)
Rising from below - sunrise
The city is awake, ready for the day
Summer is alive (Look into the light)
Always... sunrise
I don't want to be the one who fights alone
I don't want to wake and feel that there's this silence
Now the love has gone
I don't want to be the one who cries alone
And I don't want to be the one who falls
And wonders where it all went wrong
Moving to the left - where should I go
Moving to the right - Soho side shows
People come and people go
Everywhere I go, places that I know
Summer is alive (Look into the light)
Rising from below - sunrise
The city is awake, ready for the day
Summer is alive (Look into the light)
Always... sunrise
As a crowd gathered across the road
Looking up to a man on a tightrope
There's a woman selling autographs, says that they're original
How would we ever know?
Sunrise
Everywhere I go, places that I know
Summer is alive (Look into the light)
Rising from below - sunrise
The city is awake, ready for the day
Summer is alive (Look into the light)
Always... sunrise
Trying to find a place to start,
Fortune always plays a part,
He wonders what tomorrow's gonna bring.
He held his head up to the light,
Underneath a moonlit sky,
Turned and walked away towards the trees.
Cause no one really thought that he would leave
Don't leave.
Oh oh, why was he the first to go?
Johnny didn't seem right!
Oh oh, someone should have let us know.
Some things he could never change,
Journeys on the path of fate,
Brought him to a crossroads in his life.
Sometimes he could make mistakes,
Feel that there's no hope, escape,
Fall into the ocean of despair,
Leave behind the people that still cared.
We cared!
Oh oh, why was he the first to go?
Johnny didn't seem right!
Oh oh, someone should have let us know.
When I think back
Fragments of life seem so short
It's brought it all back
It's quiet as I'm lost in thought
Hey Johnny!
Hey Johnny!
Oh oh, why was he the first to go?
Johnny didn't seem right!
Oh oh, someone should have let us know.
Johnny didn't seem right!
Feeling the moment the slip away
Losing direction you're losing faith
You're wishing for someone
Feeling it all begin to slide
Am I just like you
All the things you do - can't help myself
How do you feel when there's no sun
How do you feel when rain drops come pouring down again
How do you feel when there's no one
Am I just like you
Turning to face what you've become
Bury the ashes of someone
Broken by the strain
Trying to fill that space inside
Am I just like you
All the things you do - can't help myself
How do you feel when there's no sun
How do you feel when rain drops come pouring down again
How do you feel when there's no one
Am I just like you
All the things you do
Don't ever feel
that you're alone
I'll never let you down
I'll never leave you dry
Don't fall apart
Don't let it go
Carry the motion
Carry the motion back to me
Feeling the moment the slip away
Feeling the moment the slip away
Am I just like you
How do you feel when there's no sun
How do you feel when rain drops come pouring down again
How do you feel when there's no one
I had a dream
I had a vision
I fell into water
The water was deep
I made a decision
Promised myself
Changed my direction
Turn to the south
All my life, I cant believe it
Tracing lines but no one sees it
I wish that I could take a rest
Today's the day, I still believe
Tracing lines until they meet
Today's the day I've found a new way out
Set my spirit free
Live by the notion
All we can be
Self preservation
Stopping the bleed
All is decided
Gathered and sewn
Guided by wisdom
From father to son
All my life, I cant believe it
Tracing lines but no one sees it
I wish that I could take a rest
Today's the day, I still believe
Tracing lines until they meet
Today's the day I've found a new way out
Set my spirit free
Cause I've had a dream
I had a vision
I fell into water
The water was deep
Cause all my life, I cant believe it
Tracing lines but no one sees it
I wish that I could take a rest
Today's the day, I still believe
Tracing lines until they meet
Today's the day I've found a new way out
Set my spirit free
Today's the day, I still believe
Tracing lines until they meet
Today's the day I've found a new way out
A new day has begun
And taken us now
Morning life is here
Turn outside and sound
But you feel
Nothing is real
You're flesh and bone
But nothing is real
Today
This could be the only day
Can't let this moment get away
Cause this could be the only way
So call on me
Call on me
Tempers of the world
Dragging you down
The chemistry of life
The touch of a hand
But you feel
Nothing is real
You're flesh and bone
But nothing is real
Today
This could be the only day
Can't let this moment get away
Cause this could be the only day
So call on me
Call on me
You're fading out don't fade
You're coming back
You're fading out don't fade
You're coming back
You're fading out don't fade
You're coming back
Today
This could be the only way
So call on me
Call on me
Today
This could be the only day
Gonna learn how to think cause I'm drowning in sin,
Just wanna taste that cinammon skin.
I've gotta learn how to cry,
Taste a tear roll by.
Cause there's no sense in self destruction,
Emily loved him, Emily loved him.
You cut away the disease,
You pure the air I breathe (need).
You came and healed my disease again,
Now the light comes shining in.
I've gotta learn how to think without the alcohol swings,
I'm sure that things will feel better.
Gotta learn how to grow lift the world off your toes,
Feel yourself drift off to somewhere.
Emily loved him, Emily loved him.
You cut away the disease,
You pure the air I breathe (need).
You came and healed my disease again,
Now the light comes shining in.
What's gonna happen if it all falls in and the highs get low?
And the pain sets inside me.
Emily loved him, cause Emily loved him.
You cut away the disease,
You pure the air I breathe (need).
You came and healed my disease again,
Now the light comes shining in.
You cut away the disease,
You pure the air I breathe (need).
You came and healed my disease again,
Now the light comes shining in.
Come on in
I hear your voice
Change the frequency
And make that choice
Constitution
Find new ground
You don't know
I think about you every day
You're lying awake on top of silver clouds
Sending Love back down
It's real love
Can't you feel it
Can't you breathe it in
Come on in
I hear you sing
All together
Different skin
Superstition
Prophecy
You don't know
I think about you every day
You're lying awake on top of silver clouds
You're sending love back down
It's real love
Can't you feel it
Can't you breathe it in
Would it always be the same
Give it all to reason
Let me down
You watch me drown
Hold me down I can't explain
Though I never could - that's the problem
Fight about the plate again,
Climbing up to free myself.
I don't need this
Innovation comes
Do you really know
I'm falling
I just fall into shade
All I wanna do is pray
Give me back the freedom
If it comes the only way
Clearance sets me free
... twist and turn
Looking at the same thing
Flicking back the pages
Just enough for me to see myself
I don't need this
Innovation comes
Do you really know
I'm trying to believe
As life turns on
Do you see it
Do you really know
I'm falling
I will fall into space
As funny though it seems
That I can dream a little
It's pulling me inside
The wheels still turn
...as the sun
Touch my face
...back home
I don't need this
Innovation comes,
I'm trying to believe
As life drags on
Do you see it
Do you really know
Calling out again,
Sweat upon my head aches
Making me feel bad
Ill again
And as we're dreaming
Maybe im high
High, takes me in,
High and i hear you say
Forgiven, i wish i was forgiven
From all this pain
Reaching out to say...
Thinking of the days
Walking by the trees swaying
Staring at the sun
The little child is me
The pain has taken over
Smiles have turned to stone
High, takes me in,
High i hear you say
Forgiven, i wish i was forgiven
From all this pain
Reaching out to say...
You heal the scars i hide
You drank the tears i cried
Im reaching out to touch
The angel of my life
Forgiven
Forgiven
Forgiven
I wish i was
I show you the reason
That we are still alive
Maybe its inside my head
The dreams when you arrive
Forgiven
Forgiven
I wish i was
I wish i was
Forgiven
Forgiven
I wish i was
I wish i was
She's always trying to work it out
Sitting in a parked car
Music on the stereo is blaring out
Shutting out the world
People always say
What you gonna' do now
Are you gonna' go far
Gonna' follow your heart till it stops
She could never say why
Cause she's leaving tonight
She would never say why
Cause she's leaving
Jesse always wanted, to get away
Drive across the border
Head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water
Blinded by the sun
Jesse are you gonna leave now?
Are you gonna leave town?
It's funny how she hesitates
She wonders why she still cares
Tomorrow seems so far away
This moment could be hers
People always say
What you gonna' do now

Head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water
Blinded by the sun
Jesse are you gonna leave now?
Are you gonna leave town?
Looking for the answer, she won't be the last one out
Trying to get a head-start, find her way through the crowds
Right now
Jesse always wanted, to get away
Drive across the border
Head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water
Blinded by the sun
Jesse don't leave it too long, too long now
Jesse always wanted, to get away
Drive across the border
Head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water
Blinded by the sun
Joinin' up the black dotted lines
Driftin' back in space in time
Remember how it used to be?
She said, she said, she said to me
Steppin' out across a railway line
Drawn to walls of moonless sky
Remember how it used to be?
She said, she said, she said to me
Remember how it used to be?
Don't say there's nothin', nothin'
We can make this happen, happen
All this time you knew
Now it always makes perfect sense
A face of innocence
Sending it all back to me
She did, she did, she did to me
Watchin' those blue eyes turn to green
Every second, every blink
Remember how it used to be?
She said, she said, she said
Don't say there's nothin', nothin'
We can make this happen, happen
All this time you knew
Don't say it's over, forgotten
We can make this happen
Happen, happen, happen
Swallow the words, swallow the pain
All we've broken, all we've made
All forgiven, always sane, he's sane
He's sane, he's sane, he's sane
Joinin' up the black dotted lines
Driftin' back in space in time
Remember how it used to be?
Don't say there's nothin', nothin'
We can make this happen, happen
All this time you knew
Don't say it's over, forgotten
We can make this happen
Do you see what you wanna see?
I can't even believe it, I'm waking, chip protected
When you reset sixty-three?
Divebomb! Time's gone!
Divebomb! Time's gone!
Dreading living on pensions
Checking, checking the statements
I don't wanna believe it, I'm drinking, just to forget it
Divebomb! Timebomb!
Divebomb! Time's gone!
Divebomb! Timebomb!
Divebomb! Time's gone!
Divebomb! Time's goneDivebomb! Timebomb!
Mother Earth, can you feed us now?
Feed me now, feed me now
Mother Earth, can you see us now?
Hold me down, hold me down
Revolution, revolution
Revolution, revolution
Mother Earth, can you feed us now?
Burst the bug, be forever loved
Hold me down, you can't hold me down
Break the bones, throw your stones
Revolution, revolution
Revolution, revolution
Revolution, revolution
You gotta fight it, you can fight it, no one else will
You gotta fight it, you can fight it, no one else will
You gotta fight it, you can fight it, no one else will
You gotta fight it, you can fight it, no one else will
Feed me now, see me now
Mother Earth, can you see us now?
Throw the stones, throw the stones
Revolution, revolution
Revolution, revolution
I put my best foot first and it got burnt
Communication always hurts
I've got myself so deep inside a hole
I taste the air go thin as I get old, as I get old
I don't think so
She's my hands, she's my hands
Picks me up when I crash down
Build me wings so I can glide
She's my novocaine ride
Pick up the pieces of my world
Glue thme together, I wish I could
I can't believe it as the picture fades
Just like a TV, but the sound remains
I don't think so, no, I don't think so
Feel it as I shake
Shatter illusions fade
Taste my bitter tears
Cut my heart with shears
It's funny how I watch the day go by
I'm sitting watching TV
Talk shows high
There's banging on the walls
My head aches
I'm drinking out the world
That I hate
I had a big car, new clothes everything
I've had a watch engraved in Switzerland
Today I saw her buying a magazine
It's time to get myself some therapy
How do I stop this, how do I stop this
How do I stop this disease?
She's got a new dress on (I'm in cement)
Sits by her radio (I'm in cement)
She's got those x-ray eyes (I'm in cement)
Don't know which way to go
It's funny but I dream for yesterday
I'm blistered by the burns that life has made
I'm staring out behind the window shade
I see her face across the street again
I"m in quicksand sinking in again
I've got concrete shoes and I can't swim
How do I stop this, how do I stop this
How do I stop this disease?
I don't know what to do
But I know that I must pull through
I can't keep watching you
How do I stop this, how do I stop this
I put my best foot first & it got burned,
Communication always hurts,
I got myself so deep inside a hole,
I taste the air so thin as i get old.
(I don't think so)
She's my hands, She's my hands.
Picks me up when i crash down,
Build me wings so i can glide,
She's my novacaine ride.
(NOVACAINE!)
Pick up the pieces of my world,
Glue them together, i wish i could,
I can't believe it as the picture fades,
Just like a TV but the sound remains
(I don't think so) no (i don't think so)
Feel it as i shake,
Shatter illusions fade,
Taste my bitter tears,
Cut my heart with shears.
I don't think so, i don't think so.
She's my hands, she's my hands,
Picks me up when i crash down.
Looking through the windowshade,
Stare at streets that bare no name,
Now it all looks strange to me,
Yesterday seems like a dream,
But i often try too hard,
To break the routine of my day,
Turn around see what i see,
Can't help wishing it could.
Change, Change, again,
Unchain myself, i will.
See the faces in the crowd,
Busy streets they move around,
Underground seems such a drag,
Waiting still and then we change,
The more i see, the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse.
Tomorrow till tomorrow comes.
As it drags me there i feel,
A sence of urgency unviel,
Whats in store for us today,
Read the papers drift away.
Change, we change again,
We change, again,
Unchain myself,
I will.
Oh how i hate to feel this way,
The more i wait to see it change,
The more i see the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse.
It's funny how i watch the day go by, I'm sittin watching tv, Talk Shows High, Theres banging on
the walls, My head aches, I'm drinking out the world that i hate.
I had a big car, new clothes, Everything, I had a watch engraved in Switzerland, Today i saw her
buying a magazine, It's time to get myself some Therapy.
How can i stop this, How can i stop this, How can i stop this disease?!?
She's got a new dress on
(Im in Cement)
Sits by her radio
(Im in Cement)
She's got those x-ray eyes
(Im in cement)
Don't know which way to go.
It's funny but i dream for yesterday, I'm blistered by the burns that life has made, I'm staring
out behind the windowshade, I see her face accross the street again.
Im in quick sand sinkin in again, I've got concrete shoes and i can't swim.
How can i stop this, How can i stop this, How can i stop this disease?!?
She's got a new dress on,
She's got a new dress on.
I don't know what to do, but i know that i must pull through, i can't keep watching you.
How can i stop this, How can i stop this, How can i stop this disease?!?
She's got a new dress on
Ocean Blue,
Deep + Cool,
Rain on me,
Kisses the sea,
Clouds in space,
The earth rotates,
Satellite Ship,
I wish that i could touch the sky
Elevate Me
I hope that i dont burn my eyes
As i Drift free
Don't think that i can help myself
Guess it's true
Polythene, Polythene Girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, Polythene Girl, #I'm breaking the seal, never thought i would
I wish that i could heal myself
Addicted to you
Wrap me up in cotton wool
Just to feel new
Don't think that i can help myself
But it's true
Polythene (Polythene Girl)
Suffocate, elevate
Suffocate, elevate
But it's true
Polythene Girl,
Cellophane World
Polythene Girl,
Got this Dagger in my back, The balde inside me burning, Change these colours in my head, Turn
to face the real thing.
So what about me, What i wanna be, What about me, hear me when i speak.
(I can't take it, I won't make it)
But sometimes i feel it,
Do you know how it is,
You ake up in the mornin & everything fits,
Im still hoping tomorrow feels like this,
My Perfect Day
Twist inside me feel it break, The rubber band keeps turning, See the tracks worn in my face,
Hallucinate i'm burning.
So what about me, what i wanna be, what about me, hear me when i speak.
(I can't take it, i wont make it)
My Perfect Day, My Perfect Day, My Perfect Day.
I can't believe this anymore, I just dont see this anymore, Im stepping out into the rain again.
See my satellite in space, Sending back the weather,
Try to find myself some space, Move on up the ladder.
(I can't take it, I wont make it)
So what about me, what i wanna be, what about me, hear me when i speak.
My Perfect Day
My Perfect Day, My Perfect Day, My Perfect Day.
Guess im stuck in a dream
Surrounded by coloured leaves on the ground,
As i stare at the trees,
I see one fall down on my hand.
As i start to explore,
I can't ignore a man,
He turn his head around,
His face was all worn by the sun.
Im going out for a while,
So i can get high with my friends,
I will,
I'm going out for a while,
Don't wait up cause i won't be home,
Today.
Drifting down the road,
Losing myself in a dream,
Feel my hands getting cold,
Sat in a boat on a lake,
Climbing up, trying my best, as i sink. Climbing up trying my best as i sink again.
Lying back on the floor,
reaching up high into space,
see myself in a glass,
I'm counting the lines on my face,
Again,
Counting the lines on my face,
Again.
Today,
Today,
Today,
Shoot holes in me,
Then you watch as i bleed,
Sticks, Sticks and stones,
Break my bones as i speak,
Leave me to burn,
As i melt in my pain,
Watch as i drown in my tears,
We have made.
Cause we've got to forgive,
Things are changing at last,
I hope for the best,
But i don't understand i'm just a man,
I'm still trying to see.
Love, Love is hate,
Can't seperate,
how it is,
Deep in grave,
Can't pretend,
'When it's real.'
See a way,
Move away,
See a way,
Will i ever be saved for this,
Will i ever be clean.
I wish for the best,
I wish for the best,
Cause we've got to forgive,
You're just a face in the crowd
A tiny hole in the cloud
You're trying to find your way in
To let your soul shine back out
We're just a twist in a seam
A splash of paint on a screen
We're making all kinds of shapes
Somehow we can straighten out the bends
This is our time, we can't rewind
Our place to shine out, we can live it anyway
This is our time, to feel sublime
Our place to shine now, and we can do it anyway
We can't rewind
Do you think we can change?
A different color and shade
I guess a new kind of thing
Somehow we can straighten out the bends
This is our time, we can't rewind
Our place to shine out, and we can live it anyway
This is our time, to feel sublime
A place to shine now, we can do it anyway
Oh yes, we can do it our way then
Stop taking me for a fool now
Yeah, I've got this feeling inside me
But I guess you knew
We can work it out
We can find some place new
We can't rewind
We can't rewind
You're just a face in the crowd
A tiny hole in a cloud
This is our time, we can't rewind
Our place to shine out, and we can live it anyway
This is our time, to feel sublime
A place to shine now, and we can do it anyway
This is our time, we can't rewind
Our place to shine out, we can do it anyway
This is our time, to feel sublime
I've got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I've got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed
I wish that I was still fifteen
Debbie Harry and Steve McQueen
I found the angel in my dream
Sucked her dry and I cut her wing
L.A. food store cabinet
Get up, shut up
Give me neurofen plus
Shut up, it hurts
Feel I've been hit by a bus
Get up, shut up
You know you don't understand
I'm feeling under the weather
>From the womb into school
Changing faces, breaking rules
Circumstances make you bleed
Sew the wound so you will heal
Cause there's no substitute for pain
Histrionics, broken frames
Build a fire to thaw my brain
L.A. food store cabinet
Get up, shut up
Give me neurofen plus
Shut up, it hurts
Feel I've been hit by a bus
Get up, shut up
You know you don't understand
I'm feeling under the weather
I don't know why I do this time and time again
Cause all my drowning sorrows became my friends
Get out, just shut up, get out, yeah, shut up
I've got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I've got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed
I've got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I've got a hand inside my head
L.A. food store cabinet
Get up, shut up
Give me neurofen plus
Shut up, it hurts
Feel I've been hit by a bus
Get up, shut up
You know you don't understand
I'm feeling under the weather
I've got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I've got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed
I've got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I've got a hand inside my head
Floating in the everglades
Faces lit in sun
A moon that lights a thousand ways across
Is company for one
Ooh won't you come back to me
Ooh won't you shine out for me
Falling down from grace
In houses made for one
Holding matches 'til they burn away
Ashes to the wind
Ooh won't you come back to me
Ooh won't you shine out for me
Only you, it's only for you
Always true
But time is passing by
Only you
Always you
But every time we cry
We wave the sun goodbye
Moonshine
Desolate the renegades
Poisoned tongues persuade
Take the hand that carried you above
Oceans to the grave
Ooh won't you come back to me
Ooh won't you shine out for me
Tear yourself, you tear yourself....
Going over every minute every second in your mind
Turning over catching fragments of a life before you die
Going over every second, every minute left behind...
It's only for you
Always true
But time is passing by
Only you, always you
But every time we cry
We wave the sun goodbye
We can't keep pissing in the wind
Bleaching holes in perfect skin to make us new
Hold a match until it burns
Got ourselves against the wall, nowhere to go
Tried to be my best to you
As I recall I never lied to you it's true
Wrapped around you like an eel
You reel me in don't throw me back into the pool
Cause we're floating by
While the old world slides
You just make it shine
Leave it all behind
Lifiting off just for a while
Driving off the edge, sailing to the moon
Leave behind your self denial
Taste a piece of life and suck it in for good
Cause we're floating by
While the old world slides
You just make it shine
Leave it all behind
See tomorrow shine
Take a walk into a sea
Diving under waves of green
Climbing back into a dream
Cause we can fly there
Cause we're floating by
While the old world slides
You just make it shine
Leave it all behind
Cause we're floating by
While the old world slides
You just make it shine
She wants the world to see
To notice her, to cut things free
She stands upon the hill
To watch the stars
She feels a sense of peace
Expressions pale, as daylight leaves
She stands upon the hill
To watch the stars
She lights the fire then she goes below
She lights the fire then she goes
Lights the fire then she goes
Lights the fires, she lights the fires
This time
This time tonight
Shine bright
Shine bright tonight
Tonight
She wants solutions now
A better life as souls cry out
She stands upon the hill
To watch the stars
She turns her head to see
New solace on the empty street
She stands upon the hill
To watch the stars
She lights the fire then she goes below
She lights the fire then she goes
She lights the fire
This time
This time tonight
Shine bright
Shine bright tonight
Keep holding on
The sadness gone, it's just begun
Our voices strong, we carry on
The sadness gone, the sadness gone
This time
This time tonight
Shine bright
Shine bright tonight
Keep holding on
Too many times I watched you leave
I didn't say anything
Too many lies inside that bleed
And now we're running out of time
Out of line, out of faith
Out of reason, some might say
I guess there's somewhere we can stay all night
So we can turn it all around
Don't say that you know me
Unless you wanna stay around
Don't say that you know me
Show me, shoot me down
Itsumo, it's the only way, stay
Itsumo, don't take our love away
Our moment can't be found
Too many sides that you can't see
I wonder if we ever change
All that divides us is the sea
Riding words, making sense
Out of line, out of faith
Out of reason, some might say
I guess there's somewhere we can stay all night
So we can turn it all around
Don't say that you know me
Unless you wanna stay around
Don't say that you know me
Show me, shoot me down
Itsumo, it's the only way, stay
Itsumo, don't take our love away
Our moment can't be found
Itsumo, it's the only way
Call me out in my defense
Call me out in my defense
Don't say that you know me
Unless you wanna stay around
Don't say that you know me
Show me, shoot me down
Itsumo, it's the only way, stay
Itsumo, don't take our love away
Our moment can't be found
Itsumo, it's the only way
Call me out in my defense
Call me out in my defense
Gone too fast
Like the sun, like the morning
Seasons change like a face getting old
Times, good times
On the waves of devotion
Rising up, then it starts to fall
Who'd have thought
You'd be the one to get tired
Tired of living, tired of life
Don't give up, you have us
We'll find a way
Don't give up, don't give up
Falling fast
As a new day's dawning
Holding back, as it cuts you deep
Who'd have thought
You'd be the one to get tired
You're tired of living, tired of life
Don't give up, you have us
We'll find a way
Don't give up, don't give up
Been trying for days, lost in a maze
Drifting the ocean, fighting the waves
It's never been easy
It's always been hard to find a way
Home at last
It's the place that you long for
You're tired of living, tired of life
Don't give up, you have us
We'll find a way
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, you have us
Don't give up
We'll find a way
Don't give up, don't give up
Seein' life begin
Hear the oceans sing
It takes you back
Pulls you back
Brings you home
See your face in stone
A hollow moon above an aching sky
Silent night
Brings you home
Left without a place
Lonely inner space
That you can breathe
It's the essence of a love
My love
Lead by devotion
Celebrate
Celebration
Dove grey sands
Lead by devotion
Celebrate
Celebrate now
Dove grey sands
Narrow days alone
Pushing for the sun
Don't hide away
Burn to grey
One soul
Facing life alone
Numbers on a phone
To help you back
Send it back
Bring you home
Left without a place
Lonely inner space
That you can breathe
It's the essence of a love
My love
Lead by devotion
Celebrate
Celebration
Dove grey sands
Lead by devotion
Celebrate
Celebrate now
Dove grey sands
Feelin' like it's over
It's just the start
I can't hear you again
Dreaming of the ocean
As waves come in
I can't hear it again
You got it all worked out this living
You made it all whacked out this giving thing
Torn a soul and left it kicking
Drilled a hole right through my perfect world
I'm staring at pictures now
Tearing pictures down, yeah
It's pulling me deeper down
Every day reminds me
Love has left me high and twisting
Cut a wire and watch me fall back in
Telepathic operatics
Sucked the image clean out of my brain
I'm staring at pictures now
Tearing pictures down, yeah
It's pulling me deeper down
Every day reminds me of you
I'm staring at pictures now
Tearing pictures down, yeah
It's pulling me deeper down
Every day reminds me of you
Every day reminds me
You made it all whacked out this living
Torn a soul and left it kicking
I'm staring at pictures now
Tearing pictures down, yeah
It's pulling me deeper down
Every day reminds me of you
I'm staring at pictures now
Tearing pictures down, yeah
It's pulling me deeper down
Silence the cry, stepping back further
Escape from the mind, my mind
Twisting inside, looking for shelter
Find the divide in me
Oh my God, what have I done?
One step now the damage is done
It's silent without you
It burns through each and every day
It takes my breath away
So lonely without you
This love you've grown just fades to gray
It takes my breath away
I was so blind, I should've seen it
Notice the life, my life
I had to climb, stepping up further
To find the divide in me
Oh my God, what have I done?
One step now the damage is done
It's silent without you
It burns through each and every day
It takes my breath away
So lonely without you
This love you've grown just fades to gray
It takes my breath away
They ask too much of us
With them you always knew
Just wanna live our lives
You know we're trying to
We put more faith in you
Our courage and our strength
You find you'll raise the dead
Until the sorry end
It takes my breath away
It's silent without you
It burns through each and every day
It takes my breath away
Trying hard to face another day
No more left to give, nothing left to break
Melting in the sun, breathing in the day
Falling into love and climbing out again
There's nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Love has left me blind
Reaching out beneath a sea of pain
Riding on the waves of hope again
Chipping as the stone face cracks away
Crying out again as my bones break
There's nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Love has left me blind
What if we could save ourselves from this
What if every minute lasts a year
Life is what you make of everything
Fate is like a rope around my neck
There's nowhere left to run
There's no more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Trying hard to face another day
No more left to give, nothing left to break
Melting in the sun, breathing in the day
Falling into love and climbing out again
There's nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Love has left me blind
Reaching out beneath a sea of pain
Riding on the waves of hope again
Chipping as the stone face cracks away
Crying out again as my bones break
There's nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Love has left me blind
What if we could save ourselves from this
What if every minute lasts a year
Life is what you make of everything
Fate is like a rope around my neck
There's nowhere left to run
There's no more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Searching through broken pieces
Same old news, the more I bleed
Crucified again, the more we choose
Sacrificed again, the more we lose
But he said
I will be there if you will come
To give myself, to save my soul
I will be there if you believe
The more I wait, the more I bleed
The more I bleed
Twisted hands, worn and broken
See the man, across the heat
Holding back the blade, he can believe
Reaching out again for somethign real
He said
I will be there if you will come
To give myself, to save my soul
I will be there if you believe
The more I wait, the more I bleed
Cause I am alive (Alive, alive...)
Can't open my eyes and see
Look up to they sky and breathe again,
Back's to me
Fill the spaces
Still I hope to be
Undivided
You don't see it
I can't see it
I will be there if you will come
To give myself, to save my soul
I will be there if you believe
The more I wait, the more I bleed
I will be there if you will come (Look up to they sky)
To give myself, to save my soul (You're so far high, again)
I will be there if you believe (Look up to the sky and see)
The more I wait, the more I bleed (Alive, alive...)
I will be there if you will come
To give myself, to save my soul
I will be there if you believe
They cover me in the clothes you see
And I'm suffocating I try to breathe
Only here to let them know
Fading out as the hours go
Cover me if I walk away
Tripping out, I'm in hyper space
Till the will it begins to break
Feel the wall as it starts to shake
Too late, I know
I'm getting deeper, oh yeah
Falling away
Goodbye all, I'm in heaven
Hear me now, desperation
Reaching out, arms wide open
Hear me now I say
Move away if you still don't see
Hanging on, it could never be
Give it up when you start to bleed
Take it down, it feels good to me
You gotta be what you try to be
Only see what you wanna see
Just to see what you've done to me
Had a lover, I think I'm free
Too late, I know
I'm getting deeper, oh yeah
Falling away
Goodbye all, I'm in heaven
Hear me now, desperation
Reaching out, arms wide open
Hear me now I say
Gone, gone, gone
Too late, I know
Too late, I know
Goodbye all, I feel free
Hear me now, don't cover me
Reaching out, as I leave
Tripping out, TV Me (TV Me)
Goodbye all, I feel free (I'm in heaven, TV Me)
Hear me now, don't cover me (Desperation, TV Me)
Reaching out, as I leave (Arms wide open, TV Me)
Tripping out, TV Me (I swear, TV Me)
Goodbye all, I'm in heaven (I'm so free, TV Me)
Hear me now, desperation (I'm so free, TV Me)
Reaching out, arms wide open (I'm so free, TV Me)
Fool yourself, it's not a trend
You're a lover, you're not a friend
You bring new life to aching bones
Give me strength to carry on
Send the whole thing back to me
Sew me up where wounds still bleed
All forgotten by the way, she understands (x4)
(Chorus)
'Cause maybe I just don't believe, that you'll stay around
I burn the bridges to the ground
While you're still around
I can't decide, I can't pretend
Bring the summer back again
All forgotten by the way, she understands (x2)
Complicated and intense, just a fate of circumstance
All forgotten by the way, she understands (x4)
(Chorus)
Fool yourself, it's not a trend
You're a lover, you're not a friend
You bring new life to aching bones
Give me strength to carry on
Send the whole thing back to me
Sew me up where wounds still bleed
All forgotten by the way, she understands (x4)
(Chorus)
An' maybe I just don't believe, that you'll stay around
They wanna see where they don't see
Put my hand in the guillotine
Throw my hand on the grill again
Screaming out as the water stings
Take a punch in another face
Keepin' up in a city race
Feel the weight of another day
In the maze at the seaway
Home, just take me home
?Cause when I see the waterfall
Just like a dream when flowers fall
I see the colors as they run
I see the rain man kiss the sun
Sugar free is a slip away
Breaking out of the monkey cage
Hear the sirens as they sing
Be the kids of another sin
Something new in a different place
Some one cool may be in his face
Get a life far away from this
Heal the womb with a woman's kiss
Home, just take me home
?Cause when I see the waterfall
Just like a dream when flowers fall
I see the colors as they run
I see the rain man kiss the sun
Running free like the blood in me
In my veins, should I count to three
Feel the weight of another day
In the maze at the seaway
Home, just take me home
?Cause when I see the waterfall
Just like a dream when flowers fall
I see the colors as they run
We're running away
Further away
'Cause we won't take this
Losing my way
Knocked to the ground
I lie beside her
You know they're telling us
Nothing's ever gonna change
You know they're telling us
Nothing's ever gonna change
We're running away
Further away
So we might make it
Let's forget
Don't think about it
Let's forget, let's forget
Don't think about it
We're fighting with ourselves but
Who's the enemy?
Tear in the sky
Choking the world
That cries before us
It's time to decide
We can't hear or
Sit alone in silence
You know they're telling us
Nothing's ever gonna change
You know they're telling us
Nothing's ever gonna change
We're running away
Further away
So we might make it
Let's forget
Don't think about it
Let's forget, let's forget
Don't think about it
We're fighting with ourselves but
Who's the enemy?
Who's the enemy?
Who's the enemy?
Who's the enemy?
Who's the enemy?
Who's the enemy?
Who's the enemy?
Who's the enemy?
Who's the enemy?
Who's the enemy?
We're running away
Further away
'Cause we won't take this
Losing our way
Knocked to the ground
But we might make it
Let's forget
Don't think about it
Let's forget, let's forget
Don't think about it
We're fighting with ourselves but
Who's the enemy?
Turning corners just to get where we should be,
Back to where we once belonged,
Sending smiles across to fill our lonely lives,
It's brought it all back home to me,
To me.
Cause there's,
Something... telling me there's,
Someone... calling me back,
Sometimes... telling me that everything's alright.
Read the papers as the sun began to rise,
I'm broken by the news,
'Cause there's no logic in our negativity,
There's a way - if we believe.
Cause there's,
Something... telling me there's,
Someone... calling me back,
Sometimes... telling me that everything's alright.
Something's... telling me there's,
Someone... calling me back,
Sometimes... telling me that everything's alright.
Heads Held High now,
We will be waiting,
Patiently waiting,
Our Heads Held High now,
Today we won't forget,
Our Heads Held High now,
We will be waiting,
Patiently waiting,
Our Heads Held High now...
Cause there's,
Something... telling me there's,
Someone... calling me back,
Sometimes... telling me that everything's alright.
Something's... telling me there's,
Someone... calling me back,
Aye aye aye aye
Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay, bad at bay
Love is the light scaring darkness away
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire, love
With tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down
I'll be around with my undying
Death defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love flowers and pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushing in, rushing inside of me
Yeah
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire, love
With tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwined divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure, the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky scraping dove
Flame on burn desire, love
With tongues of fire
Purge the soul
I think I'm coming round
Coming round to a way of thinking now
Trying to find the ground
Somewhere new to stop us slipping
Always, always straight back down
Kicking out the fool
There's no sense in us going under now
Holding on to you
Trying to swim but we're treading water
Always, always straight back down
I think that you're the one
The color never runs
A hand that heals me over, over today
You take away the grey
Bring the color as it fades
A hand that heals me over, over
Comfort in the sound
Lift the world from off your shoulders now
Lying on the ground
Staring up at a face that haunts you
Always, always straight back down
Reaching out a hand
Course there's no life without the purple
Always, always straight back down
I think that you're the one
The color never runs
A hand that heals me over, over today
You take away the grey
Bring the color as it fades
A hand that heals me over, over
Always, always straight back down
I think I'm coming rround
Coming round to a way of thinking
Always, always straight back down
I think that you're the one
The color never runs
A hand that heals me over, over today
You take away the grey
Bring the color as it fades
A hand that heals me over, over again
I think that you're the one
The color never runs
A hand that heals me over, over today
You take away the grey
Bring the color as it fades
The thought of never knowing
Would kill me just the same
The solitary blossom
Reminders of a friend
Gone somewhere
You've got nothing to live for
You're travelling broken
You just can't free yourself
An' all the words we've spoken
Are buried in the sand
The ruptured and the broken
The taste of bitter glass
Gone somewhere
You've got nothing to live for
You're travelling broken
You just can't free yourself
What are you saying
It's just the thought of rejection
It's pulling you deep in
You just can't free yourself
Your voluntary loving
Apologies have passed
I'm coming 'round again
The fragments of a reason
The taste of bitter glass
So what are you saying
You've got nothing to live for
You're travelling broken
You just can't free yourself
What are you saying
It's just the thought of rejection
It's pulling you deeper
Staring at Paper faces, Expressions like empty pages, Day after day
Waiting for the lights to change now,, Reaching for a cloud to come down,
And cover me
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
Waiting for the world to change now, Dissolution takes a bite out, And swallows me
Looking for a way to get out, Wishing that the rush would come down
And smother me
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
If you can learn to be yourself, Then that's okay
If you can find a reason now, Don't drift away
Walking down streets to nowhere, Stepping on feet with no cares,
Losing my self
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
Left out in the sun to dry again, Washed up on a shore line south of Spain
Gazing up with telescopic eyes, Planetary life above the skies
Oh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession (my obsession)
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Drifting on a boat in emerald seas, Pulling on the strings inside of me
Tasting salt as waves dive over me, Twisting on a rope of memories
Oh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes
If you could only see, That I'm sinking like a stone
The sea is getting colder, Every second as I go
It's like breathing underwater, But I just can't let you go
My obsession, she's my obsession, my obsession
Oh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession (my obsession)
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moonOh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession (my obsession)
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Waking each day, No money no pay
Living in a box alone with his pain, Kissing the rain that's pouring again,
Blaming the system from where we came, Trapped inside a fish eye lens,
Trying to get out cause it won't change, Money doesn't mean that much to him.
But maybe another bottle of gin:
Here comes that radio man,
He smiles but no one sees him yeah, yeah
Here comes that Radioman
Tune in you might hear him,
Radioman
Living in the same old shoes, With every step the world comes through,
Like a river that flows on down, Dragging him under to the sand
He rises up to another day, The people laugh, but they don't stay
They try to hide their guilt away, With a smile that says that its okay.
Here comes the radio man,
He smiles but no one sees him yeah, yeah
Here comes the Radioman
Tune in you might hear him,
Radioman, the radioman
Somebody, somebody hear me
Lift off and take me away
Here comes the radioman he smiles but no one sees him,
Here comes that radioman
Tune in you might hear him,
Radioman, the radioman, radioman
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 still alive
It's dragging me under, Don't think I'll recover
A stone in the water, A nail in my shoulder
Just put it together, You think you're so clever
Can we make it better, Climb the mountain together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
(don't take me down and watch me fall)
Twenty years older, The city gets colder
Still reaching for cover, We live and we suffer
Just put it together, If you think you're so clever
Can you make it better, Pull the pieces together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, still alive
It's dragging me under, Don't think I'll recover
But we'll make it better, Climb the mountain together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
(don't take me down and watch me fall, don't break my bones and watch me crawl)
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
Tangerine,
Turning Green,
Cellophane,
Window pane,
Socialised,
Paralysed,
Plastic Faces suck me dry,
Tangerine
I know it's sad,
Lifes just a piece of fruit,
Touch Down, new ground,
Stop Living on the Moon.
Twenty eight,
suffocate,
Take a ride,
see me fly,
Detonate,
feel it break,
See myself disintegrate.
Tangerine
See it as i climb,
The rain burns in my eyes,
So catch me as i fall away.
Tangerine
I'm burning out the TV tubes,
It's three o'clock & I'm confused
Cause commitment is so complete,
It's burning little holes in me
I know that I might look a mess,
And she's so perfect in that Oxfam dress
She looks just like a beauty queen,
Shining out in velveteen
I'm delirious
You make it better
You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
I love it when she comes around,
She's a firework that never ends
A micro chip inside my brain,
I'm crawling on my knees again
It scares me the way I am,
I'm buried in a sea of sand
Lying on a hand grenade,
Waiting for the world to shake
I'm delirious
You make it better
You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
You make it better
You just take the pain away
Delirious, I'm so delirious, delirious,
I'm so delirious, Delirious
You make it better
You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain awayYou make it better
You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
Anaesthetic,
She's my anaesthetic
Anaesthetic,
We queuing up the tills, Wishing for our lives to change
Just a piece of something new, A taste would keep us sane
Hypocrisy in every day, Drills a hole deep in our brains
Searching for a little hope, A rainbow when it rains
Sitting on an empty bench, Got these nails dug in my skin
Like a leopard with his kill, We're going under, slipping in
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in Day Out
Stepping on a treadmill wheel, You must know how that can feel
Blows a fuse inside our minds, Watch the data as it wipes
Taste the bullshit on a plate, We just piss our lives away
Get the hell out while you can, We going under, sinking in
We're going under, slipping in
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in Day Out
We're going down, yes we're going down, we're going down:.
Taste a new amphetamine, Alcohol has sucked us in
Introverted in our ways, Trapped inside this plastic skin
Now its rears it's ugly self, Feeds us full of selfish doubt
We've got to keep ourselves afloat, Going under, get me out
We're going under, slipping in
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in Day OutWe're going under, slipping in
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Reading magazines and counting sheep to pass the time away
Hoping that tomorrow's gonna bring a smile BACK home again
Images of palm tree's swaying in the wind on South beach
Takes me back to better days, Summer days the everglades in June
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia
Flying high in golden skies, I'm flicking channels in my mind
Finding my utopia a different chapter in a book
Thinking back to younger days as I escape in Cooper's Break
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia
Turning off a switch inside me, Leaving all the stress behind me
Flying over streams and houses, Passing over the Wye valley
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Pull back my skin,
Look Deep within,
Transparent grins,
The more you Kill Me.
Just see how it is,
Just see how it really is.
Theres radiation in my hands,
Can't you see im going mad,
See the colourof my skin,
Turning blue as i breathe in,
Theres radiation in my head.
Suffer for life,
My soul divides,
I'm reaching High,
But no-one see's me.
Just see how it is,
Just see how it really is.
Get it out, Get it out, Get it out.
Trapped in my shell,
My fingers melt,
All by myself,
I'm all by myself.
Just seehow it is,
Just see how it really is.
Radiation....Radiation.
You hear me breath a little more,
And see me walk into a storm,
The more you give yourself away,
Fading out
Holding out
The innocent way
Loves run out
Left this world inside of me
Crying out
Screaming out
As the echoes within
The cat is out
No more secrets left within
The feelings gone
You swallowed the sun
One by one
The bolder has come
The feelings gone
You swallowed the sun
And wave goodbye to love again
Staring down
Tears roll down
And now that you feed
A Broken cloud
A covers torn for all to see
The feelings gone
You swallowed the sun
One by one
The bolder has come
The feelings gone
You swallowed the sun
And wave goodbye to love again
Fading out
It's just a state of mind
I've just been buying time
Blocking out the sun, the sun
I must confess
'Cause theres no easy way
My life has just begun
A father to a son, a son
And I must confess
It's every minute
It's every minute
Sarah
Sarah
I love the summer air
Free from a vacant stare
The way you light your dress, your dress
I must confess
I've loved you everyday
In your dramatic way
Afraid of circumstance
And I must confess
It's every minute
It's every minute
Sarah
Sarah
Sarah
Sarah
Do we say what we know
Everyday we get old
Every fall to the ground
It's so unexpected
Are we safe do we go
Make a start from below
Taking steps 'til we run
It's so unexpected
It's every minute
It's every minute
Sarah
Sarah
Sarah
All this for nothing, yeah yeah yeah
Praying and hoping, fooling yourself
You know that you can give love a reason
Give love a chance
We tumble and fall, together we crawl
Forever we'll be, tumble and fall
Heaven's above us, yeah yeah yeah
Living in solace, I give you it all
Just for a day, just for a second,
Just for the way
We tumble and fall, together we crawl
Forever we'll be, tumble and fall
Life's not the same, since that day you went away
I recall like the drops of summer rain that fell on me
Come back to me, come back to me, yeah yeah yeah
We tumble and fall, together we crawl
Forever we'll be, tumble and fall
Together we crawl, forever we'll be, tumble and fall
Finishing avenue
Pulling you under now
Your fighting the undertow
Before it sucks you down
Pushing the senses
It's pushing the senses now
Come on come on
What are you going to do
You can't find another day
Come on come on
You're pushing the senses
You're pushing the senses through
Always, I can depend on you
But sometimes
It's burning a hole right through
Let's talk about it
Staring at photographs
Post it on the wall
Images smiling down
The face of a lonely soul
Come on come on
What are you going to do
You can't find another day
Come on come on
You're pushing the senses
You're pushing the senses through
Always
'cause I can depend on you
But sometimes
I'm finding it hard to choose
Let's talk about it
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
It's burning a hole right through
Let's talk about it
Let's talk about it
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
Sometimes
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
It's burning a hole right through
Let's talk about it
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
It's burning a hole right through
Keep pushing the senses through
Ache
Can't watch you break
And shatter
Saved
New lives to make
Us better
I'm letting you know
Cleansing my soul
Been letting you know
For days
Turn over everything
Time can heal us again
I'm tender in your arms
Reaching inside of me
Bringing the love I need
The loneliness has gone
Faith
New roads to take
Together
Days
Lying awake
Remember
I'm letting you know
Cleansing my soul
Been letting you know
For days
Turn over everything
Time can heal us again
I'm tender in your arms
Reaching inside of me
Bringing the love I need
The loneliness has gone
I'm letting you know
Cleansing my soul
Been letting you know
For days
Turn over everything
Time can heal us again
I'm tender in your arms
Reaching inside of me
Bringing the love I need
The loneliness has gone
Feel like me
Cut away my skin
The blood on the tap washes clean
The mirror I cracked curses me
If you're a little late
It's time to leave
Live another day now
I hear you scream
See, see what I can see (I will believe in you, you and me)
Cover me with angel's wings (I will believe in you, you'll see)
Breathe the air I breathe (I will believe in you, you and me)
Suffocate the world asleep (I will believe in you, you and me)
Pain, in me
Watch as it feeds
Another day melts, I feel the heat
The honey I drink nurses me
If you're a little late
It's time to leave
Live another day now
I hear you scream
See, see what I can see (I will believe in you, you and me)
Cover me with angel's wings (I will believe in you, you'll see)
Breathe the air I breathe (I will believe in you, you and me)
Suffocate the world asleep (I will believe in you, you and me)
Too late, drifting away
Too late
See, see what I can see (I will believe in you, you and me)
Cover me with angel's wings (I will believe in you, you'll see)
Breathe the air I breathe (I will believe in you, you and me)
Suffocate the world asleep (I will believe in you, you and me)
Just see, see what I can see (I will believe in you, you and me)
Cover me with angel's wings (I will believe in you, you and me)
Breathe the air I breathe (I will believe in you, you and me)
Suffocate the world asleep (I will believe in you, you and me)
I will, I, I, I

Show me how to get home
Throw me like a stone
Show me how to get home
You love to watch me crawl
Home, just get me home, home, home
Stoned, cause I feel so stoned, oh no
Went to church one day
Repent my evil ways
I heard a voice call down
His words of wisdom sang
Home, just get me home, home, home
Stoned, cause I feel so stoned, oh no
Got this feeling inside my head
I'm spinning out of my ferris wheel red
Feels like home, it feels like home...
Standing by a sea
Staring at my feet
Twenty miles high
Tangerine filled sky
Home, just get me home, home, home
Stoned, cause I feel so stoned, oh no
Home, just get me home, home, home
Stoned, cause I feel so stoned, oh no
deeper within the sorrow grows
buried in me are the seeds I've sown
I've given to you all I have to give
and you turned me away
feed... and I'm sober
feed... and I'm colder
feed... and I'm older
and I'm older
and I'm older
and I am blessed within
free from all my sins
and I am blessed within
free from all my sins
feed... and I'm sober
feed... and I'm colder
feed... and I'm older
and I'm older
and I'm older
the coldness of life that you now feel
is the open sore that makes me real
I have bled for you and you bleed me dry
and then you threw me away
feed... and I'm sober
feed... and I'm colder
feed... and I'm older
and I'm older
and I'm older
and I am blessed within
free from all my sins
and I am blessed within
free from all my sins
feed... and I'm sober
feed... and I'm colder
feed... and I'm older
and I'm older
Turning into something
Drifting off to old ways
Got to pull myself back in
Holding back the questions
We're bruised with all rejection
Gotta pull myself back in
[Chorus:]
Suffer the breaks
You know I still remember it
It keeps burning away
I know that you may take a while
To come back around
Come back around
I miss you around
Reaching out for someone
Burning out for so long
Got to pull myself back in
There's no new religion
And there's no real solution
Gotta pull myself back in
[Chorus x2]
come back around
come back around
Feel you're going under
So keep on treading water
Got to pull myself back in
Feel no obligation
But no more indecision
Gotta pull myself back in
[Chorus x2]
Talk about it
You dream about it
You feel that there's no place left to glow
Operatics, break the habits
You feel that there's no place left to grow
You gotta reach inside yourself and let it go
Close your eyes and drift away to some place new
Where the skies are blue brings back the child in you
Cross a lonely field as birds begin to speak
Its alright
Its ok
Blue, true
Blue, true
Cry about it shout about it
You feel that there’s no sense in going on
Late November, change in weather
The cold has got a hold of you again
That river's gonna drag you down again
It's alright
Its ok
Its alright
Blue
Nothing was stopping you
Nothing was stopping you
Nothing was stopping blue
Blue, true, blue, true, miss you
Find the colour
Sight and sound
A new exposure comes around
Anaesthetic for the mind
Hear the voice that soothes away the pain
Television, satellite,
Conversation running dry
Sending back another text
Holding on to words you might regret
You know you might regret
Cause now i can see that i love all the things
That you do with each day
And it feels, so damn good
Every second that passes me by With the blink of an eye
It just feels, so damn good
Find the colour, find the colour
Looking for something new
A taste of life to pull you through
Defences down your feeling low
A change in feeling comes around again
Its coming round again
So damn good
I read the papers yesterday
They say that the bubble boy's ok
Another day of rain to come
We're sitting back still waiting for the sun
We fall right in and suffer the sins
Try to pull things round when the air starts to thin
We nurse regrets, restricted in our own belief
A new disease
We shake new hands, the victims of fate
We tread new ground misfortune conveys
You tear yourself apart
Wishing to be born again
A different man
Comfort in sound
Its all around
Ease back the strain
Come heal your pain
Comfort in sound
Its all around you now
Comfort in sound
We suffer love together as one
An empty heart with nowhere to turn
We find ourselves looking back another way
A brand new day
Yeah
Solution gone, emotions ablaze
A life so strong just faded away
You find yourself searching for a quick release
A new belief
Live life in overdrive
Lost love in suicide
Godzilla
Find ways to sanitise
Clean mind no overtime
Godzilla
We are the paranoid
Suck life until you die
Godzilla
Godzilla
Calling, distorting
Reach the ends for you
Burn a hole right through
Talking, we keep talking
Filling empty space
In this lonley frame
As the image fades in to one
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Can't think about tomorrow
Just breathe the air inside
And bring on back that lonely smile
Can't think about tomorrow
Twisting, constricted
On the edge for you
You know I’d jump right through
Falling, we keep stalling
I can see the ground
Someplace new to land
As the image fades into one
Because you, feel yourself
Fall apart again
You hold your face inside your aching hands
The angels tears come flooding down again
Bring us back again
Yearning, returning
To this empty street
As the city sleeps
Tearing, despairing
As the day comes in
As the morning sings
As the image fades into one
Today it all feels fine
A sense of freedom fills your mind
Love in, love out, find the feeling
Scream in, scream out, time for healing
You feel the moments gone too soon,
You're watching clouds come over you.
Torn in two,
You close your eyes for some place new,
Torn in two
And I feel it's going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
I'm waiting for your healing hand,
One touch could bring me round,
I feel we're going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
It's just the way I'm feeling
Glow in, burn out,
Lost the feeling
Bruise in, you bruise out,
Nurse the bleeding
Torn in two,
Each time we bruise
Yeah yeah, it's just the way I'm feeling
Two different views,
As words confuse and break
I can't get out,
There's no way out of here,
I can't get clear.
Love in, love out
Find the feeling.
Fuel emotions, killing me
Pure devotion, cut and bleed
You're the crystal, the ecstasy,
The drug that keeps feeding me.
So come on
Torn together we sow the seed,
Bring the pleasure back for free,
The world is frozen but
I can taste new life every time i breathe.
So come on, get in,
Take a ride, till you sink,
Come on, get in,
Lets feel a new high kicking in
Change the system, break the shape
New connection hands to make,
Find the honey and learn to taste again,
So come on
Burn forever, learn to feed,
Find the pleasure it's yours to keep
The world is frozen,
But I can taste new life every time I breathe
Come together, feel the heat,
Suck the life left right out of me,
The world is frozen,
But I can taste new life every time I breathe,
Every step I take,
Time, time on your mind
A conscience ticking
Images passing by like picture slides arranged
Love will survive
It twists and turns you
A circuit inside your head reminds you that it's fine
I miss you more than words can say
A part of me has torn away
A china heart will always break
A fracture to a twisted face
But things are gonna heal again
Eyes once blind will see again
I miss you more than words can say
I miss you more than words .....
Quick fade
Try, learning to fly
Reach new sky
Find a new place to be and watch life pass you by
Try to get high
Jumped so you could feelit
You're living inside a dream
As waterfalls surround
Fade, fade, fade
Glide, Glide over tides
And waves that pull you
Oceans divide us once and bring you home again
Love will survive
It twists and turns you
He's gone, gone, Quick fade
Crossing bridges over water
A new reflection creeping in
Got your head so full of traffic
The love pollution's setting in
Cos I'm feeling that I can't go on
I can't go on this way
Turning back a hundred pages in the book
As letters fade
Been calling out for days
As emptiness invades
Another moment's lost again
Just sunk beneath the waves
Been calling out for days
As emptiness invades
But hey, hey, hey...
Holding back the undercover
No respect in giving in
You'd sell your soul to be another
When love pollution's setting in
You pick the pieces up again
You're like the song that never ends
And you're the reason I wake up
And you're my vision
