1925
Caught the last train out of here
It's now 1925, english gardens i see
Laid out as there meant to be
Find a penny pick it up
You can't get much more than love
Walk the streets in the pouring rain
Crowding on the returning train

I turn back time
A life design
That will a fight
It's the human right

Caught the last train out of here
It's now 1925, english gardens i see
Laid out as there meant to be
Find a penny pick it up
You can't get much more than love
Walk the streets in the pouring rain
20 numbers on the turning train

I turn back time
A life design
That will a fight
It's the human right
I turn back time
A life design
I turn back time
A life design
I turn back time
A life design
I turn back time
A life design

A BAD DREAM
Why do I have to fly
Over every town up and down the line?
I'll die in the clouds above
And you that I defend, I do not love

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
To be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Where will I meet my fate?
Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate
And when will I meet my end?
In a better time you could be my friend

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
To be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now

Where do we go?
I don't even know
My strange old face
And I'm thinking about those days
And I'm thinking about those days

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
To be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now

AGAIN AND AGAIN
Was it all in real time or was it just in my mind?
Was I just a ghost passing through you
Clinging to the wreckage, till I got the message?
Hanging at the edge of the room

Give me something that's real
Give me half of your bitterest pill
Something from under the surface you actually feel

We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
It was in your eyes, in your eyes
They were just easy lies

The little words are heavy and promises are easy
And no one's ever happy or sad for very long
Well just because I said it, it doesn't mean I meant it
I guess that was the way all along

I'm just shaping the sound
I'm just turning the syllables round
Dipping my toe in the water and watching you drown

We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
It was in my eyes, in my eyes
They were just easy lies

And we've been a long time waiting
And it's been a lifetime in the making

We said "When you are alone and afraid
I will come to your aid"
Well was it just a dream, just a dream?
'Cause it was real to me

We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
We say these words again and again
And again and again

A HEART TO HOLD YOU
When you're lonely and sad
And you think of the times we had
Just the thought of you
Will bring you back to me
Seen you staring in to space
Shadow falling across your face
But it won't take long to get to you
Whatever you do

And if your heart should melt away
No matter, I'll find you anyway
Until you look and find a love who doubles
As someone who'll understand your troubles

When you're tumbling down
Cast a eye back to our old town
And a heart to hold you won't be far
Wherever you are

And if your heart should melt away
No matter, I'll find you anyway
Until you look and find a love who doubles
As someone who'll understand your troubles

When you're lonely and sad
When you're lonely and sad

ALLEMANDE
Allemande, where have you gone?
Did I know anything about you?
Many moons have come and gone
They wane so easily without you
All along I said we'd be sorry...
Sorry, and so we are

And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind blows
And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind blows
And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind...
Blows you home
Sorry, sorry, and so we are

Allemande, your face so long
And all my silly hopes hung on you

All along I said we'd be sorry...
Sorry, and so we are

And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind blows
And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind blows
And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind...
Blows you home
Sorry, sorry, and so we are
Oh.....no....
The way that the wind blows you home
Sorry, sorry, and so we are

AMERICAN TUNE (урезанное)
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the a-ge's most uncertain hours
and sing an American tune
Oh, and it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DIZZEE
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Aint no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway, the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

If I'm out on my own
Then I can look at you, looking at me
If I'm out on a date
I just shut my eyes, then I can't see
Get away from the bar
Tell your boyfriend hold your jar
And dance wiv me

How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you, when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
And how long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway, the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

If I'm out on my own
Then I can look at you, looking at me
If I'm out on a date
I just shut my eyes, then I can't see
Get away from the bar
Tell your boyfriend hold your jar
And dance wiv me

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another gone, another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

If I'm out on my own
Then I can look at you, looking at me
If I'm out on a date
I just shut my eyes, then I can't see
Get away from the bar
Tell your boyfriend hold your jar
And dance wiv me

If I'm out on my own
Then I can look at you, looking at me
If I'm out on a date
I just shut my eyes, then I can't see
Get away from the bar
Tell your boyfriend hold your jar
And dance wiv me

ATLANTIC
I hope all my days will be lit by your face
I hope all the years will hold tight our promises

I don't want to be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home

I don't want to be old and feel afraid
I don't want to be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home

I don't want to be old and feel afraid
And if I need anything at all
I need a place that's hidden in the deep
Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep
Though all the world is broken

I need a place where I can make my bed
A lover's lap where I can lay my head
Cos now the room is spinning

The day's beginning
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BACK IN TIME
I've got time to kill
I'm not living for the moment anymore
I don't wanna wake up

I've got time to kill
I'm not living for the future anymore
I don't wanna wake, I don't wanna wake up

She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time

Time I wait for you
Hibernating, hoping life will start again
Petal in the water
The days all seem the same
I dream by day, I shut the light out, I escape
I don't wanna wake, I don't wanna wake up

She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time

Something backwards, I forget, I forget
Time has wrapped his drowsy arms around my neck
Don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up

She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time

Back again
Back again
(Back again)

BEDSHAPED
Many's the time I ran with you down
The rainy roads of our old town
Many the lives we lived in each day
And buried altogether
Don't laugh at me
Don't look away

You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped
And legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know!

I know you think I'm holding you down
And I've fallen by the wayside now
And I don't understand the same things as you
But I do

Don't laugh at me
Don't look away

You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped
And legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know!

And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know!

BEND AND BREAK
When you, when you forget your name
When old faces all look the same
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up
If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

Bitter and hardened heart
Aching waiting for life to start
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up

If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

BETTER THAN THIS
Is this what you meant?
Is this what you dreamed of?
When you were making your plans
Shaking the dirt off?

Do you feel like
You and I belong? (Oh woah oh!)
Just keep your eyes on the road
And nothing can go wrong

You can do so much better than this
You can do so much better than this

I've been checking my sums
Oh where did the time go?
Holding my photograph
Up to the window

Through the paper
And refracted sun (Oh woah oh!)
I can see all the things
I wish that I'd done

You can hang your hopes on the medicine
You can put your faith in the phone in
You can tell yourself you're doing your best
You can so much better than this

Get a grip on yourself
Get a grip on yourself
Could've been something, but you're too late
And you weren't invited anyway

Cos the photograph showed the wrong man
Cos there is no soap star holding your hand
You don't see yourself in the freeze frame
Must be someone else using your name

And everyone will be the same
And everyone will glow
And everywhere you'll see your name
In every shop window

It's better than this
You can do so much better than this
You can do so much better than this
You can do so much better than this

BLACK BURNING HEART
I wish that I could be
In the cellars of the sea
And disappear in them
Never to be seen again

Leave this life
Its unrelenting appetite
For feeding off the weak
Who never had their turn to speak

The sky will be my shroud
A monument of cloud

If we could turn back
You can paper over the crack
But it will return now
And your heart will burn black

Give me your hand
Cut the skin, let me in
The molecules of us
Bleeding into one again

The sky will be my shroud
A cenotaph of cloud

If we could turn back
You can paper over the crack
But it will return now
And your heart will burn black

Forgotten my way home
Forgotten everything that I know
Every day a false start
And it burns my heart

I know everything you said was right and I suppose
Everything is here forever till it goes
You gave it all away, kept nothing for yourself
Just a picture on the shelf

Je souhaiterai m'immerger dans les profondeurs des mers
Y disparaоtre pour ne plus jamais кtre vu

Burning up
Now I'm racing down a road I don't recognise
I realise I've forgotten my way home
Forgotten everything that I know
Every day a false start
And it burns my heart
Turn back

BLACK RAIN
I open my eyes
Everything shines
We swim as the breeze
Blows down the coast

Down on my luck
Breathing my last
Dirty your hands
Carry me home

Red sky turning round
Black rain falling down
If you’ve got love, you’d better hope that that’s enough
Sandstorm cuts your skin
Black Kites circling
If you’ve got love, you’d better hope that that’s enough

We came from the south
To Lebanon’s shores
Folded our clothes
Dived into peace
The blackest of seas
Glittering red
Lit by the fire over our heads

Red sky turning round
Black rain falling down
If you’ve got love, you’d better hope that that’s enough
Sandstorm cuts your skin
Sunbirds circling
If you’ve got love, you’d better hope that that’s enough

You’d better hope that that’s enough

BROKEN TOY
I think you know
Because it's old news
The people you love
Are hard to find
So I think if I
Were in your shoes
I would be kind

I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
I guess we're just older now

I want to stay
Another season
See summer upon
This sorry land
So don't dust off your gun
Without a reason
You understand

I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
I guess we're just older now

Who says the river can't leave its waters?
Who says you walk in a line?
Who says the city change its borders?
Who says you're mine?

I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a record you're tired of
I guess we're just older now
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
I guess we're just older now
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL ME WHAT YOU LIKE
There's no believing
And no reason why
Well I'm superstitious
And I can fly

To float through the ceiling
And into your eyes
Call me what you like
I just wanna be there with you
All the time
Do you wanna be here with me
All the time?

And there's no believing
And no real surprise
Well I am a ghost here
Appearing in the night

To float through the ceiling
And into your eyes
Call me what you like
I just wanna be there with you
All the time
Do you wanna be here with me
All the time?

(Instrumental Break)

I float through the ceiling
And into your lives
Call me what you like
I just wanna be there with you
All the time
Do you wanna be here with me? Doo-doo...

CAN’T STOP NOW
I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stuck here dithering around
Though I know I said I'd wait around till you need me
But I have to go, I hate to let you down
But I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
Cause I'm short on time
I'm lonely
And I'm too tired to talk

I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stuck here withering away
Though I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind
But I have to go, it breaks my heart to say

That I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
Cause I'm short on time
I'm lonely
And I'm too tired to talk

To no one back home
I've got troubles of my own
And I can't slow down
For no one in town
And I can't stop now

And I can't slow down
For no one in town
And I can't stop now
For no one

The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running

CAST NO SHADOW
Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
(What's in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life
Surviving if he can
(Surviving if he can)

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)

CLEAR SKIES
High on the bell tower
I took my view
Over the downtowns
On the avenues

Where the streets are wide
And the people thrive
And its further to fall down
Cause you fly so high

I’ve never seen such a beauty
I’ve never seen such clear skies
I’ve never seen such high hopes
I’ve never seen such tired eyes

And I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are

Down in the delta
The city wakes
Turns on the TV
As the levy breaks

Where the streets are burned
From the hot summer sun
And there’s nowhere to run to
When your time has come

I’ve never seen such a beauty
I’ve never seen such clear skies
I’ve never seen such high hopes
I’ve never seen such tired eyes

Open wounds of piece by piece
All those flesh all over me
Take my pills and went to sleep
Oh, and I sang myself to sleep

And I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are

And I wish that I could see
The world the way you do
As selfishly as you

And I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are

And I wish that I could stick
My faith the way you do
As certainly as you

Clear sky is going to fall on you
Clear sky is going to fall on you
Clear sky is going to fall on you
On you, on you.
Clear sky is going to fall on you
Clear sky.

CLOSER NOW
Believe you might stumble and come closer…
I like to wake alone
To lie and turn to stone
Comfort me, come to me
I won't go on
I like to walk along
To keep my head screwed on
Well I'm the best, so well done me
I won't go on

Believing, believing
I believe
You might stumble and come closer now

If I stay I'm alone
If I go then it will mean
Waiting on my own
It's the pattern of my life
When you care and you cannot feel
And you know that it's for real
You just leave me on my own
To live the pattern of my life

Believe you might stumble and come closer
Make time to be
All this and more for me
Well you're the best, so well done you
I won't go on

Believing, believing
I believe
You might turn from your love, wait around

If I go then I'm alone
If I stay then it will mean
Waiting on my own
It's the pattern of my life
When you care and you cannot feel
When you know that it's for real
So you leave me on my own
To live the pattern of my life

Believe
You might turn from your love, wait around

If I stay then I'm alone
If I go then it will mean
Waiting on my own
It's the pattern of my life
When you care and you cannot feel
And you know that it's for real
You just leave me on my own
To live the pattern of my life

If I stay then I'm alone
If I go then it will mean
Waiting on my own
It's the pattern of my life
When you care and you cannot feel
And you know that it's for real
So you leave me on my own
To live the pattern of my life

Woah
Believe
You might stumble and come closer now

CRYSTAL BALL
Who is the man I see
Where I'm supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
Under the iron sea

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Lines ever more unclear
I'm not sure I'm even here
The more I look the more I think that I'm
Starting to disappear

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong

I don't where I am
And I don't really care
I look myself in eye
There's noone there
I fall upon the earth
I call upon the air
But all I get is the same old vacant stare

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

DAY WILL COME
The winter night has wrapped a rag around your eyes
And stolen your sight
Oh you seem so far away
I hope you find your way back someday
I miss you, I miss you

Some days set your world on fire
And some days they sink like stones
That's when your heart will cry out
Until your body is numb
And the night will try to tempt you
But the day will come

We dream hard, we shoot high
Sometimes our fingers graze the sky
But we can't hold on

Some days set your world on fire
And some days they sink like stones
It's when your heart will cry out
Until your body is numb
And the night will try to tempt you
But the day will come
Brother don't hang your head
Until your distance is run
'Cause though it seems so far away
You know the day will come

Some days set your world on fire
And some days they sink like stones
That's when your heart will cry out
Until your body is numb
And the night will try to tempt you
But the day will come
Brother don't hang your head
Until your distance is run
'Cause though it seems so far away
You know the day will come

DIFFICULT CHILD
Baby, i’ve been travelling so long
Searching for the things for which you ask,
Trying to make you think I could become
The things you want

Baby I’ve been working so hard
Scratching in the dirt and in the fire
Begging for the beautiful life
That you require

I know I’m like a difficult child
Screaming through the night
So, help me find the light
Without you I’m a broken down car
Rusting in the yard,
Still waiting for the part

Now finally I’m back on our road,
Crunching on the shingle in the drive,
Hungry for your love as I return,
But there’s no sign

I know I’m like a difficult child
Screaming through the night
So, help me find the light
Without you I’m a broken down car
Rusting in the yard,
Still waiting for the part

I thought that you’d be waiting like a soldiers queen,
Gazing from your window, holding out for me
What a fool I’ve been again

I know I’m like a difficult child
Screaming through the night
So, help me find the light
Without you I’m a broken down car
Rusting in the yard,
Still waiting for the part

DINNER AT EIGHT
No matter how strong
I'm gonna take you down
With one little stone
I'm gonna break you down
And see what you're worth
What you're really worth to me

Dinner at eight was okay
Before the toast full of gleams
It was great until those old magazines
Got us started up again
Actually it was probably me again

Why is it so
That I've always been the one who must go
That I've always been the one told to flee
When it fact you were the one long ago
Actually in the drifting white snow
You left me

So put up your fists and I'll put up mine
No running away from the scene of the crime
God's chosen a place
Somewhere near the end of the world
Somewhere near the end of our lives

But 'til then no, Daddy, don't be surprised
If I wanna see the tears in your eyes
Then I know it had to be long ago
Actually in the drifting white snow
You loved me

No matter how strong
I'm gonna take you down
With one little stone
I'm gonna break you down
And see what you're worth
What you're really worth to me

DISCO 2000
Oh we were born within one hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah, Deborah
It never suited ya'
And they said that when we grew up
We'd get married, and never split up
Oh we never did it, although I often thought of it

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small
With wood-chip on the wall
When I came around to call
you didn't notice me at all

[Chorus]
And I said let's all meet up in the year 2000
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road
I never knew that you'd get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago

You were the first girl at school to get breasts
And Martyn said that you were the best
All the boys all loved you but I was a mess
I had to watch them trying to get you undressed
We were friends but that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Oh it meant nothing to you
'Cos you were so popular

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Oh yeah
Oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Oh what are you doing Sunday baby?
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby
ooh! [2x]

DISCONNECTED
Something's crept in under our door
Silence soaking through the floor
Pinching like a stone in my shoe
Some chemical is breaking down the glue
That's been binding me to you

I feel like I just don't know you anymore
I've been wrong and I've been there too many times
We walk in circles
The blind leading the blind

Well I thought that love watched over this house
But you're boarding up the windows now
We're leaning on each other so hard
Tied so tight we wound up miles apart
Making simple things so hard

I feel like I just don't know you anymore
I've been wrong and I've been there so many times
We walk in circles
The blind leading the blind
We've been disconnected somehow

There's an invisible wall between us now
I've been burned and I've been there too many times
We walk in circles
The blind leading the blind

I see the landscape change before my eyes
The features I've been navigating by
Nothing looks the way it did before
I don't know where to look or what to look for

I feel like I just don't know you anymore
I've been burned and I've been down too many times
We walk in circles
The blind leading the blind
We've been disconnected somehow

There's an invisible wall between us now
I've been wrong and I've been there too many times
We walk in circles
The blind leading the blind
We've been disconnected somehow

There's an invisible wall between us now

DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS?
It's Christmas-time
there's no need to be afraid.
At Christmas-time we let in light and we banish shade.
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy.
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas-time.
But - say a prayer - pray for the other ones.
At Christmas-time it's hard but when you're having fun.
There's a world outside your window
and it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears.
And the Christmas-bells that ring
there are the clanging chimes of door
Well
tonight thank God it's them instead of you.
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas-time.
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
oh.
Where nothing ever grows
no rain or rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmas-time at all?
Here's to you
raise a glas for ev'ryone

Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless

Do they know it's Christmas-time at all?
Feed the world
feed the world
feed the world
feed the world

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas-time.
Feed the world
let them know it's Christmas-time

Feed the world
let them know it's Christmas-time

Feed the world
let them know it's Christmas-time

Feed the world (х8)

EARLY WINTER
You, you know how to get me so low
My heart had a crash when we spoke
I can't fix what you broke
You, you always have a reason
Again & again this feelin'
Why do I give in?
& I always was, always was one for crying
I always was one for tears

The sun's getting cold, It's snowing
Looks like an Early Winter for us
Looks like an Early Winter for us
An Early Winter
Oh I need you to turn me over

It's sad the map of the world is on you
The moon gravitates around you
The seasons escape you
& I always was, always was one for crying
I always was one for tears
No, I never was, never was one for lying
You lied to me all of these years

The sun's getting cold, It's snowing
Looks like an Early Winter for us
Looks like an Early Winter for us
An Early Winter
Oh I need you to turn me over

Why?
Why do you act so stupid?
Why?
You know that I'm always right

It looks like an Early Winter for us
It hurts & I can't remember sunlight
An Early Winter for us
The leaves are changing colour for us
& it gets too much, yeah it gets so much
Starting over & over & over again
& it gets too much, yeah it gets so much
Starting over & over & over again
& it gets too much, yeah it gets so much
It looks like an Early Winter for us

EMILY
All of my days spent are crashing around, crashing around
All of my years spent are running around, running around
All of my weeks spent are crashing around, crashing around
And you feel..

All of my weeks spent are flitting around, flitting around
Al of my years spent are waking around, waking around
All of my ? is blotting her out, it's blotting her out
And you feel, and you feel, and you feel
Emily

And you feel
Emily, Emily, Emily

Well you never really had to know
And you never really had to know
And you never really had to know girl

And you never really lost the part
I mean you never really lost the part, ohh

I mean you never really lost the part
I mean you never really lost the part
I mean you never really lost the part, ohh

Well you never really lost the part
I mean you never really lost the part, ohh

ENJOY THE SILENCE
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence...

EVERYBODY'S CHANGING
You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing and I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I'm trying to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same

You're gone from here
Soon you will dissapear
Fading into beautiful light
Cos everybody's changing and I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I'm trying to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same

(Instrumental Break)

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I'm trying to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same
Oooh, everybody's changing and I don't feel the same
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLY TO ME
Don't turn your back on me
Conceal and protect me
I'll need you to stop me
From reeling around

The time's gonna come
When you no longer need me
But stay by my side
Till the sun has gone down

When I am an old man and live by the sea
Will all your thoughts fly to me?

As much as I want you
I can't hold on to you
When will you return to
Your old home again?

May love lie around you
Good fortune surround
You know where to turn to
When you need a friend

When I am an old man and live by the sea
Will all your thoughts fly to me?
When I'm far away from the places we've known
Will all your love bring me home?

(Instrumental Break)

When I am an old man and live by the sea
Will all your thoughts fly to me?
When I'm far away from the places we've known
Will all your love bring me home?
Bring me home

(Instrumental Ending)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

HAMBURG SONG
I don't wanna be adored
Don't wanna be first in line
Or make myself heard
I'd like to bring a little light
To shine a light on your life
To make you feel loved

No, don't wanna be the only one you know
I wanna be the place you call home

I lay myself down
To make it so, but you don't want to know
I give much more
Than I'd ever ask for

Will you see me in the end
Or is it just a waste of time
Trying to be your friend
Just shine, shine, shine
Shine a little light
Shine a light on my life
Warm me up again

Fool, I wonder if you know yourself at all
You know that it could be so simple

I lay myself down
To make it so, but you don't want to know
You take much more
Than I'd ever ask for

Say a word or two to brighten my day
Do you think that you could see your way

To lay yourself down
And make it so, but you don't want to know
You take much more
Than I'd ever ask for

HAPPY SOLDIER
I've been thinking
Why don't we
Jump onboard some gunship
And sail away to sea
And if I'm seized by enemy
Of any kind
I don't mind
They'll be sorry
Wait and see
The SAS will rescue me
I've been thinking
I'm so bored
What a life to live and die
By the silver sword
And if I'm crashed on stormy seas
The darkness falls and all I see
Is a desert island
That's ok
I'll use the stars to find my way
If I'm drifting to no-man's land
GHQ will lend a hand
And there's nothing king and country wouldn't do for me

And if I'm crashed on stormy seas
The darkness falls and all I see
Is a desert island
That's ok
I'll use the stars to find my way
If I'm drifting to no-man's land
GHQ will lend a hand
And there's nothing king and country wouldn't do for me

HE USED TO BE A LOVELY BOY
Time to leave this town
Now your dreams have all let you down
Noone here will miss you now
Time to wake up and look around

He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy
Lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy

Turn away and turn ahead
"Just a hopeless dreamer", she said
Eyes of cloud and feet of lead
Find a shore that needs you instead

He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy
Lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy
Time on your hands
World at your feet
No adventure left incomplete

Find a place where you can hide
From the love that holds you inside
Time so unkind
Like an old friend leaves you behind

He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy
Lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy
Time on your hands
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTO THE LIGHT
Lonely, why so lonely?
Why are you hiding all the time?
Don't you realise time is passing?
Down through the river bed into the tide
To be washed aside

Tired now, why so tired now?
Have you forgotten how we used to play?
Can't you lie here just a little longer?
Let's stay together and not fade away
Into the night

Come out into the light
Come out into the light
Come out into the light
Come out into the light

Tired now, why so tired now?
Have you forgotten how we used to play?
Can't you lie here just a little longer?
Let's stay together and not fade away
Into the night

Come out into the light
Come out into the light
Come out into the light
Come out into the light

IN YOUR OWN TIME
You’ve got nowhere to go
Got no way out of this hole
Got no one to say it’s all just the way things are
Wouldn’t it be good to look into a brighter day
It’s just the way things are

In your own time
There’s no map to guide our way
So I say nothing, you say nothing
In your own way
Thought I could help you find your place
But I’m as lost as you are lost these days

And wouldn’t it be fine
To close your eyes and see something
Something more than this..

In your own time
There’s no map to guide our way
So I say nothing, you say nothing
In your own way
Thought I could help you find your place
But I’m as lost as you are lost
It’s not the way

Things are going to change, you know
The battles you have fought won’t go to waste, you know
Things are going to change. It just takes time…

Ooooooooooh

In your own time
There’s no map to guide our way
So I say nothing, you say nothing
In your own way
Thought I could help you find your place
But I’m as lost as you are lost

It’s just the way
It’s just the way
It’s just the way
It’s just the way

IS IT ANY WONDER?
I, I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
It’s so long, that now I think I was wrong
And you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on, my side

Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?

Sometimes
It's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand
But sometimes
I get the feeling that I'm
Stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in a children rhyme, a sound bite

Is it any wonder that I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days, after all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?

Nothing left inside this old cathedral
Just the sad lonely spires
Adding you make it right

Oh, but you try
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days, after all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?

ISN'T IT A PITY
Isn't it a pity
Now, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity

Some things take so long
But how do I explain
When not too many people
Can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity

Isn't it a pity
Isn't is a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity

Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity
Forgetting to give back
Now, isn't it a pity

What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity
What a pity
What a pity, pity, pity

IT'S NOT TRUE
You’ve been watching dawn from the gutter,
Trading one bad move for another,
It’s been a stormy night but it’s almost through

Friends you once loved don’t know you,
Even your own eyes don’t know you,
You think this whole world is trying to bury you,
But it’s not true

So don’t you say,
There’s something in your core that can’t be saved,
Because it’s not true,
And every atom of my heart is missing you

Well it's OK to be scared when,
You’re stuck behind a door that won’t open,
The shadows in your dreams that are chasing you,
They’re not true,

So don’t you say,
There’s something in your core that can’t be saved,
Because it’s not true,
And every atom of my heart is missing you

The good will come through,
I wish that you could feel it the way you used to,
I wish you could believe it the way you used to,
The way you used to
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

LEAVING SO SOON
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!

You must think I'm a fool
So prosaic and awkward and all
D'you think you've got me down?
D'you think I've never been out of this town?

Do I seem too eager to please to you now?
You don't know me at all
I can't turn it on, turn it off like you now
I'm not like you now

Now you're here
I bet you're wishing you could disappear
I'm trying to be kind
I get the feeling you're just killing time

You look down on me
Don't you look down on me now
You don't know me at all
A slap in the face
In the face for you now
Just might do now

You're leaving so soon
Never had a chance to bloom
But you were so quick
To change your tune
Don't look back
If I'm a weight around your neck
Cos if you don't need me
I don't need you

Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!

Leaving so soon, soon
Leaving, leaving so, soon

You're leaving so soon
Never had a chance to bloom
But you were so quick
To change your tune
Don't look back
If I'm a weight around your neck
Cos if you don't need me
Then I don't need you

Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!

LET IT SLIDE
The same, always the same
Bitter words are all that remain
Of the dream that had taken you in
But all her words were dust in the wind

It's time to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide

Say, what's that you say?
Time to move on and you're in the way
Lets get to the end and not turn around
She built you up so she could knock you down

It's time to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide

Friend, there's nothing there
You're clinging on to air
You're reaching back
To something that you never had

It's time to draw the line
To draw the fire
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide
To let it slide
Why'd you never know
The time to let go
The time to move aside
To let it slide

LOOKING BACK
You're living in a place you left behind
Going round in circles all the time
Can see the way you're headed
It's like you're blind
So open your eyes

Time realigned just what you've got
With what you nearly had and what you want
You fall asleep and then the moments gone
So open your eyes in time

K'naan:
Yeah
Hard to undo time
Hard to separate my past from a rhyme
Cuz how could you separate milk from lime
Waste my time

Looking back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your minds always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder

Think of all the places you could never be
Beauty in the faces that you'll never see
As you lie there sleeping
How the moment flies
So open your eyes in time

K'naan:
They say life makes sense backwards
Only you gotta live it forwards

Don't waste your time, no
Don't waste your time, just
Looking back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your minds always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder
Looking Back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your minds always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder

K'naan:
Am I the only one trying to fight off an army
Of memories dressed up all trying to harm me
I feel cocky running up the steps like Rocky
Until the past comes flashing like paparazzi
Nothing is new so I open my folder
My favorite view is over my shoulder
Everything backwards is my plight
It's landing first when in my flight
Even my tears run up my cheeks back in my eye
Live, I die

Don't waste your time
Just looking back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your minds always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder

You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your minds always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder

You're always looking back
Over and over and over
And you're always looking back.

LOVE IS THE END
Singing a song with your feet on the dashboard
The cigarette streaming into the night
These are the things that I want to remember
I want to remember you by

It won't come again
Cos love is the end
Oh no, my friend
Love is the end

I took off my clothes and I ran to the ocean
Looking for somewhere to start anew
And when I was drowning in that lonely water
All I could think of was you

Woah, my friend
Love is the end
So lets not pretend
Cos love is the end

Take it back, don't let it die
Or raise again the fallen night
Cos I still do, depend on you
So don't say those words, you wrung me through

Woah, oh oh
Love is the end
So lets not pretend
Cos love is the end

So I tread the only road
The only road I know
Nowhere to go, but home
Nowhere to go
Maybe our time is up
But still you can't look back
But all the principles of love
Don't save us
Don't save us

LOVERS ARE LOSING
I dreamed I was drowning
In the river Thames
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing but my own skin

I dreamed I was drifting
On the howling wind
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing but my own skin

Slipped away from your open hands
Into river
Saw your face looking back at me
I saw my past, and I saw my future

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But any way you look at this
Looks like
The lovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching
The young lovers dance
I reached out to touch your hair
But I was watching from a distance

We cling to love like a skidding car
Clings to a corner
I tried to hold onto what we are
The more I squeeze, the quicker we're over

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But any way you look at this
Looks like
The lovers are losing

I dreamed I had nothing at all; Nothing but my own skin
(I dreamed I had nothing at all; Nothing but my own skin
I dreamed I had nothing at all; Nothing but my own skin)
I dreamed I had nothing at all; Nothing at all

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But any way you look at this
Looks like
The lovers are losing

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But in the final reckoning
Looks like
The lovers are losing

MAPS
I see ya a long, long way from where i am supposed to be
and frankly i'm still happy here i know where i'd rather be

so whether you’re lonely like the sun are you rely on everyone
it's not me to be lonely
it's not me till you know
will light of maps and cities "and"
"The feel you feel" the closer it comes
till i don’t know how it feels
till i don’t know how it feels
till I don’t know

a million miles from anywhere, but anyway
i don’t deny
the more you see the more i try to change your mind

so whether you’re lonely like the sun are you rely on everyone
it's not me to be lonely
it's not me till you know
will light of maps and cities "and"
"The feel you feel" the closer it comes
till i don’t know how it feels
till i don’t know how it feels
till i don’t know

but i hear whatever you say
whatever you say

oh, "whenever whenever" she blows, well that’s the end of it
"whenever whenever" she blows, well that’s the end of it

MAYBE I CAN CHANGE
Now
Will it ever be the same...
again?
And will it ever feel right?
A false start,
then I try to twist your heart...
but I suppose,
It always knows...

I know how I let you down,
But maybe I can change this time around,
This heart in these hands of mine,
maybe I can change this time...

Soon,
I'm gonna be an older man,
and I,
will struggle to remember,

A blank space
when I tried to see your face,
But Blinded,
I can't replace

I know how I let you down,
But maybe I can change this time around.
This heart in these hands of mine,
maybe I can change this time...

Oh why can't we go back again?
Oh...
Rain, rain will you ever go away?
Come back again some other day...

I know how I let you down,
But maybe I can change this time around.
This heart in these hands of mine,
maybe I can change this time...

But I tired you out
with the things I do
but i can change
and change you, too

And still so blind
I have to say
that I'm on my way...
gone...

MORE MATEY

Where did you go, where my suffer still got low
Did you think of me in your tree looking so amused
You and me go far, We'll be famous star

What a place to be hidding in my tree
The more there's a boy in me there's a girl in you
The more 'caus you used to do what I do to you
(A matey home you ain't there)

Me is mine is yours
We'll be?
Where did you go where my tight friend dropped you girl
Did you think of me probably I still care for you
You and me go far, We'll be famous star

The only place to be hidding in my tree
The more there's a boy in me there's a girl in you
The more 'caus you used to do what I do to you
(A matey home you ain't there)
You and me go far, We'll be famous star

MOTHER MARY
Mother Mary came into my dream
Sang her song, sang this very song
Mother Mary hoped we'd come along
To take a glimpse, a glimpse inside her mind
Mother Mary sing to me this song
She touched my heart as tears they run away
Mother Mary how can i connect you
We looked for answers, answers in our dreams
Mother Mary came into my dream
Sang her song, sang this very song
Mother Mary hoped we'd come along
To take a glimpse, a glimpse inside her mind
Mother Mary sing to me this song
She touched my heart as tears they run away
Mother Mary how can i connect you
We looked for answers, answers in our dreams

MY SHADOW
It's time to make a start
To get to know your heart
Time to show your face
Time to take your place

In every speck of dust
In any universe
When you feel most alone
You will not be alone

Just shine a light on me
Shine a light
Oh, shine a light on you
Shine a light

And you will see my shadow
On every wall
And you will see my footprint
On every floor

It only takes a spark
To tear the world apart
It's tiny little things
That make it all begin

Just shine a light on me
Shine a light
Oh, shine a light on you
Shine a light

And you will see my shadow
On every wall
And you will see my reflection
In your free fall

Oooh! Ooh-ooh!
Oooh! Ooh-ooh!

Just shine a light on me
Shine a light
Oh, shine a light on you
Shine a light

Cause when you're back's against the wall
That's when you show no fear at all
And when you're running out of time
That's when you hitch a star to mine

We won't be leavin' by the same right that we came by
We won't be leavin' by the same right that we came by
We won't be leavin' by the same right that we came by
We won't be leavin' by the same right that we came by

Ooh-ooh!
Ooh-ooh!
Ooh-ooh!
Ooh-ooh!

MYTH
You built it up, brick by brick,
Put your heart into this baseless myth

Notching it in like a child
Undress its when it rain wild,
You stop to fix your face, someone else step in, and took your place
Now everything you want knew, is running in circles around you
A car door slamming in your road, it tortures like a kick inside.
A year old message on your phone that catches you when you can't hide.

I see you in the service station sign,
I see you in the supermarket line,
I see your silhouette on the wall,
But i don't see myself there at all.

This fancy and bounce of word,
Is the wagging tail of the neighbourhood,
The busy in cost confort,
And get that taste of the drama,
You stare through mindless daytime shows,
And curse yourself a growing old,
You stare also into your shaving foam,
Reminds you of another world

I see you in the roofless, on the sky
I see you in the ladder stop outside,
I see your silhouette on the wall,
But i don't see myself there at all.

I see you in the sweetness of our child,
I see you supermarket aisle.
I see you and i kneeling on the floor,
And i can't see myself anymore.

Hard times got the over hand
Stone or fervor plant,
Your faces shock me, spin me around,
But i won't lie down

Hard times shape me to the bone,
Face proves, bloody nose,
Shell-shocked, crawling on the ground,
Still i won't lie down

I won't lie down
No, i won't lie down
I won't lie down

NEON RIVER
Well you were happy where you were,
But that girl, she reeled you in,
This town was never good enough,
Because she was going to everything,

And if you ever spoke of love,
She just smiled and put you down,
Because she was making other plans,
She had a vision of light and sound,

She said the neon on the river will light my way,
And everything that we’ve been dreaming of,
We’ll make it real one day,
So save your money, pack your bag,
We’d better run before we disappear,
She took the train into the city,
But you’re still here

You hear a song that takes you back,
To some long forgotten night,
And friends who said they had your back,
But they just turned and ran and let you fight

And on the bowling alley wall,
You used all your smartest lines,
But they’ve been painted over now,
Looks like you’re going to get left behind

She said the neon on the river will light my way,
And everything that we’ve been dreaming of,
We’ll make it real one day,
So save your money, pack your bag,
I want to run with you on Stamford Hill,
She took the train into the city,
But you stood still

You stood still above the track,
You knew as you watched her go,
That she was never coming back,
You stuck to places that you know,
You said you were scared of heights,
And that you didn’t want to go,
Where everyone else goes

NEW ONE
i am the one, i am the only one that i care about
she is the one, she was always the one
to go running around in another land
she go on

i am the one, i am always the one that i recognize.
and you are the one for me, always the one
i go running around in another land
i go on to you
will you miss me when i'm gone?
i take on to know i was so
if you want to runaway
i take back all that i say
i take on to know i was so

i am the one, i am always the one to be recognized
she was the one, she was always the one
to go running around in another land
she go on to
will you miss me when i'm gone?
i take on to know i was so
well you want to runaway
i take back all that i say
i take on to know i was so

i saw the full moon sinking
i saw the full moon sinking

if you want to runaway
i take back all that i say
i take on to know i was so
well she wants to look away
she wants to run away
i take on to know i was so

i saw the full moon sinking
i saw the full moon sinking

NOTHING IN YOUR WAY
A turning tide
Lovers at a great divide
why d'you lie
When I know that you hurt inside?
And why'd you say

It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say?
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say

A tell-tale sign
You don't know where to draw the line
And why'd you say

It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say

Well for a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ON A DAY LIKE TODAY
On a day like today
I looked at you and I
Saw something in the way
You stared into the sky

I saw you were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew the way I feel
I'd really love to tell you
But I...

Could never seem to say
The things I needed to
On a day like today
No other words would do

I saw you were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew the way I feel
I'd really love to tell you
But I can never find the words to say
And I don't know why
I can't find the words to say
And I don't know why
I can't find the words to say
And I don't know why
I can't find the words to say
And I don't know why
And I don't know why
And I don't know why
And I don't know why

I saw you were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew the way I feel
I'd really love to tell you
But I can never find the words to say
And I don't know why
I can't find the words to stay
And I don't know why

ON THE ROAD
Have you been feeling that pull?
And are you hearing that call?
'Cause you've got everything that you need to make a start

I had a dream of my own
Just walking out of my home
And going I don't know where to sleep beneath the stars

Your whole life lies ahead
It's just around the bend

So when the sun is coming up and you go
And there's still so many things you don't know
Don't you look back, I've no doubt that I
Will see you on the road

When the world's laying you low
Why don't you let me carry your load?
When things get bad you know you have a friend
All along the road

And I would love it sometime
If you would walk at my side
Going I don't know where to sing beneath the stars

If in your life you need a hand
Reaching the promised land

So when the sun is coming up and you go
And there's still so many things you don't know
Don't you look back, I've no doubt that I
Will see you on the road

When the world's laying you low
Why don't you let me carry your load?
When things get bad you know you have a friend
All along the road
All along the road

Golden light lies ahead
It's just around the bend

So when the sun is coming up and you go
And there's still so many things you don't know
Don't you look back, I've no doubt that I
Will see you on the road

When the world's laying you low
Why don't you let me carry your load?
When things get bad you know you have a friend
All along the road

So when the sun is coming up and you go
And there's still so many things you don't know
Don't you look back, I've no doubt that I
Will meet you on the road

When the world's laying you low
Don't you let it rattle your bones
Sometimes a dream itself can keep you safe
All along the road
All along the road
All along the road
All along the road
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

PERFECT SYMMETRY
I shake through the wreckage for signs of life
Scrolling through the paragraphs
Clicking through the photographs

I wish I could make sense of what we do
Burning down the capitals
Wisest of the animals

Who are you, what are you living for
Tooth for tooth, maybe we'll go one more

This life, is lived in perfect symmetry
What I do, that will be done to me

Write page after page of analysis
Looking for the final score
We're no closer than we were before

Who are you, what are you fighting for
Holy truth, brother I chose this mortal life
Lived in perfect symmetry

What I do, that will be done to me
As the needle, slips into the run-out groove
Love, maybe you feel it too

And maybe you find, life is unkind
And over so soon
There is no golden gate
There's no heaven waiting for you

Oh boy you ought to leave this town
Get out while you can
The meter's running down
The voices in the streets you love
Everything is better when you hear that sound
Woooaohhh
Woooaohhh
Woooaohhh

Spineless dreamers, hide in churches
Pieces of pieces of rush hour buses
I dream in emails, worn out phrases
Mile after mile of just empty pages

Wrap yourself around me
Wrap yourself around me

As the needle, slips into the run-out groove
Maybe I'll feel it too
Maybe you'll feel it too
Maybe you'll feel it too
Maybe you'll feel it too

I dream in emails, worn out phrases
Mile after mile of just empty pages

PLAYING ALONG
At the start of the news day, the fires begin
In words and in pictures, but I'm not listening
I'm not taking it in
I'm going to go to the country, where nothing goes on
Going to bury my head, where I can't hear the sound of bombs
Playing along

Me, I'm just playing along
You and I, so many good people all
Just playing along

I'm going to go to a bar, where is the jukebox is on
Going to shut out the noise, with a rock'n'roll song
Playing along

I'm going to turn up the volume
I'm going to turn up the volume
I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think

Tell us a tale of the proud and the free
Sing us a swingtime American melody
From 'Follow The Fleet'

Me, I'm just playing along
You and I, a billion people all
Just playing along

I'm going to turn up the volume
I'm going to turn up the volume
I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think
I'm going to turn up the volume
I'm going to turn up the volume
I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think
I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think

I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think
I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think
I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think
I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think

I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think
I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think

PRETEND THAT YOU'RE ALONE
We are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees
We are blisters on the earth
We are not the flowers, we're the strangling weeds
In the meadow

And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves
When we don't want to live alone
So step into the vacuum, tear off your clothes
And be born again

Pretend that you're alone now
And everything's gone
Just animal reflex
There's noone looking on
Forget about fashion
Forget about the law
Pretend that you're alone now

I wonder what I'd do, if I could wake up every morning
With a clean slate
I'd burn through the cities, I'd tear through the towns
Cos there's no deals to make
So break out of the cages, the delicate structures
We cling to all our lives
Cos we are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees
When we were trying to fly

Pretend that you're alone now
And everything's gone
Just primal desire
No right and no wrong
Forget about the future
Forget about blame
Pretend that you're alone now
Pretend that you're alone now

She's not waiting for tomorrow
And she has no love in her eyes
Oh no, I wanna come down right now
But oh no, I wanna get out right now

Oh oh!

Pretend that you're alone now
And everything's gone
Just animal reflex
There's noone looking on
Forget about religion
Forget about shame
Pretend that you're alone now

No numbers in your phone now
There's nothing going on
Just primal desire
No right and no wrong
Forget about fashion
Forget about fame
Pretend that you're alone now
Pretend that you're alone now
Pretend that you're alone now

Do do do do...

PUT IT BEHIND YOU
Times goes by at such a pace
It's funny how it's easy to forget her face
You hide the cracks, the facts will find you
Turn your back and leave the lonely days behind you now

You better it put it behind you now
You better it put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, hold on to
You better it put it behind you now

All the things you took for granted
Hit you like a bullet in the gut
You can't get up
Well are you gonna even try?
Cos if you never even try
Time will pass you by

You better it put it behind you now
You better it put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, hold on to (Hold on, hold on to)
You better it put it behind you now
You better it put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, to hold on to (Hold on, hold on to)
You better do what's best for you

Don't care what she said and (Better put it behind you now, better put it behind you now)
Only in your head (Hold on, hold on to)
Time will help you out (Better put it behind you now, you better put it behind you now)
Still you don't see her (Hold on, hold on to)

You better it put it behind you now
You better it put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, to hold on to
You better do what's best for you
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

RUBBERNECKING
I come to, there will be no more drowning
Help, colourless and cowering
You should understand me
When you're understanding

And through all the tears
Should you be alive

Right back, I hope he will pull through
Stand back, first aid is useful
You should understand me
How was I so stupid?

And through all the tears
Should you be alive
After all the tears
Should you be alive

Yes, there's going to be a drowning
Yes, there's going to be a drowning
Half wasted, face painted
Hold my hand

There will be no more
Please move along
There will be no more
Please move along

RUN WITH ME
Well you could write it in the dirt girl,
Write it on a ten pound note,
Everything that i have learned so far,
Nothings worth knowing till you know your part
Times are getting leaner,
If ever you were on my side,
Oh how I wish that you were stood here now,
Leading me to shelter when the night comes down,

“Baby” you said, “We’re not ever gonna go home”
And “Baby, will you, run with me wherever I go?”

Well it’s the pressure of the years girl,
Burning little holes in love,
Till we make every little things so hard,
Nothing comes easy to a cage-like heart,
Now the light is failing,
If ever you were at my side,
Then love I need you to be stood there now,
Down to the wire where the bad ones go

“Baby” you said, “We’re not ever gonna go home”
And “Baby, will you, run with me wherever I go?”
Well maybe those words never really mattered at all,
But lately those words run with me wherever I go
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEA FOG
The sun bleeds in
Hear the mad guys sing
For sorrow and make things better.
Maybe aware get to spread our wings
Tomorrow if luck will let us.
Can anyone fly into these great skies
Is there somewhere I meant to be?
Sea fog comes like a river rolls a storm is growling me.

I missed my turn in the dark
I hear your voice it makes things easy.
A straight to far from the road
Where you should always make things easy.
And I won't fight through the rising time
If that's the way it has to be.
Sea fog comes like a river rolls a storm is growling me.
Sea fog comes like a river rolls a storm is growling me.
Sea fog rolling
Sea fog rolling
Sea fog rolling

SHE HAS NO TIME
You think your days are uneventful
And no one ever thinks about you
She goes her own way
She goes her own way
You think your days are ordinary
And no one ever thinks about you
But we're all the same
And she can hardly breathe without you

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Think about the lonely people
Then think about the day she found you
Or lie to yourself
And see it all dissolve around you

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Lonely people tumble downwards
And my heart opens up to you
When she says

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

SHE OPENS HER EYES
Your face in a dream returns
Once in a lifetime comes,
And it passes by.

I'm never on your side,
And you must be blind
If you don't know why.

She'll always take you for granted,
A voice in the back of my mind said:
You could be waiting your whole life
For her to open her eyes.

I'm never on your side,
And you must be blind
If you don't know why.

She'll always take you for granted,
A voice in the back of my mind said:
You could be waiting your whole life
For her to open her eyes,
For her to open her eyes

She'll always take you for granted,
A voice in the back of my mind said:
You could be waiting your whole life
For her to open her eyes,
For her to open her eyes

SHE SELLS SANCTUARY
Oh the heads that turn
Make my back burn
Oh the heads that turn
Make my back, make my back, oooh

The sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive
The sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive, keeps me alive, oooh

And the world and the world
The world turns around
And the world and the world
The world drags me down

Oh the heads that turn
Make my back burn
Oh the heads that turn
Make my back, make my back, oooh

The fire in your eyes keeps me alive
The fire in your eyes keeps me alive
I'm sure in her you'll find
The sanctuary
I'm sure in her you'll find
The sanctuary

And the world and the world
The world turns around
And the world and the world
The world drags me down

And the world and the world
The world turns around
And the world and the world
The world drags me down

Yeah yeah he-hey
Sanctuary

And the world and the world
The world turns around
And the world and the world
The world drags me down

And the world and the world
The world turns around
And the world and the world
The world drags me down

Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary

SILENCED BY THE NIGHT
In a city like mine, there's no point in fighting
I close my eyes, see you and me driving
If I am a river, you are the ocean
Got the radio on, got the wheels in motion

We were silenced by the night
But you and I we gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to when

I lie in the dark, I feel I'm falling
Feel your hand on my back, hear your voice calling
I'm out of my depth girl, stick close to me
Because the people in this town, they look straight through me

We were silenced by the night
But you and I we gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to when

Cause baby I'm not scared of this world when you're here
No baby I'm not scared of this world when you're here

Oh oh oh
You and I we gonna rise again
Oh oh oh
You and I we gonna rise again
We were silenced by the night
But you and I we gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to be

SNOWED UNDER
There's a cold voice on the air
You've been looking everywhere
Someone to understand your hopes and fears
Well I thought about that for many long years

So I walk through Mansers Shaw
I don't see you anymore
We love to think about the way things were
But the time has gone and I'm glad it's over

I don't know why I waste my time
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day
You know sometimes I feel like I'm
Getting snowed under with the things you say
But I open my eyes and it's a lovely day

Now you think that you're alone
So you make your way back home
I'd love the greet the weary traveller
But your time has gone and I'm glad it's over

I don't know why I waste my time
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day
You know sometimes I feel like I'm
Getting snowed under with the things you say
But I open my eyes and it's a lovely day

(Instrumental Break)

I don't know why I waste my time
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it's a lovely day
You know sometimes I feel like I'm
Getting snowed under with the things you say
But I open my eyes and it's a lovely day

SOMETHING IN ME WAS DYING
Something in me was dying
And my heart was heavy as stone
Hard as I was trying
I never could find, find my way home
And your voice came out of nowhere
Be my friend and give me your hand
Let's take off together
Then we can live wherever we land

Something in me was broken
And my thoughts were bitter and ill
My world was blown open
And I couldn't see
And I couldn't feel
You said “be yourself and think of me
And you know there's nothing to fear
Let's make plans together
It's time to move on and get out of here"

Girl I need you
Don't know what I would do
Will you see the story through?
It's a cruel world
And I need somewhere to hide
And time goes by
And you're still on my side

Something in me was sinking
Cos my heart was heavy as stone
I gave up with thinking
I never would find, find my way home
And your voice came out of nowhere
Be my friend and give me your hand
Let's take off together
And then we can live wherever we land

Girl I need you
Don't know what I would do
Will you see the story through?
It's a cruel world
And I need somewhere to hide
And time goes by
And you're still on my side

Waiting, searching, turning over
Running round in circles
And I've worn myself out hoping
That we'll always be together
Yeah, we'll always be together
Yeah, we'll always be together
Yeah, we'll always be together
Yeah, we'll always be together
Yeah, we'll always be together

SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know

SOVEREIGN LIGHT CAFE
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
In the part that we live, in the battlefields
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns

I didn't know what you thought of that night I was torn from you
When we thought about things we were gonna do
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too

Go down to the rides on east parade,
by the lights of the palace arcade
Watch night going down on the Sovereign Light Cafe

I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still nothing to say
Oh I'm turning back home and I'm walking away
I'm a better man now than I was that day

Go down to the rides on east parade,
by the lights of the palace arcade
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Cafe
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
Take time, just the stars and the Sovereign Light Cafe

I wheel my bike off the train,
Up the North Trade Road,
Look for you along the way
In every building, every streetlight
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?
We keep on living there

Now no traces of who you are
You can get a big house and a faster car
You can run away boy, but you won't go far

Let's go down to the rides on east parade,
by the lights of the palace arcade
Watch night going down on the Sovereign Light Cafe
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
Take time, just the stars and the Sovereign Light Cafe

SPIRALLING
Ooo!
Ooo!

I'm waiting for my moment to come
I'm waiting for the movie to begin
I'm waiting for a revelation
I'm waiting for someone to count me in

Cos now I only see my dreams, in everything I touch
Feel their cold hands on, everything that I love
Cold like some, magnificant skyline
Out of my reach, but always in my eyeline now

We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

I fashioned you from jewels and stone
I made you in the image of myself
I gave you everything you wanted
So you would never know anything else

But everytime I reach for you, you slip through my fingers
Into cold sunlight, laughing at the things that
I had planned, the map of my world gets
Smaller as I sit here, pulling at the loose threads now

We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

When we fall in love
We're just falling
In love with ourselves
We're spiralling

Did you wanna be a winner?
Did you wanna be an icon?
Did you wanna be famous?
Did you wanna be the president?
Did you wanna start a war?
Did you wanna have a family?
Did you wanna be in love?
Did you wanna be in love?

I never saw the light
I never saw the light
I waited up all night
But I never saw the light

When we fall in love
We're just falling
In love with ourselves
We're spiralling
We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

Ooo!
Ooo!

SPIRALLING (RADIO EDIT)
Ooo!
Ooo!

I'm waiting for my moment to come
I'm waiting for the movie to begin
I'm waiting for a revelation
I'm waiting for someone to count me in

Cos now I only see my dreams, in everything I touch
Feel their cold hands on, everything that I love
Cold like some, magnificant skyline
Out of my reach, but always in my eyeline now

We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

I fashioned you from jewels and stone
I made you in the image of myself
I gave you everything you wanted
So you would never know anything else

But everytime I reach for you, you slip through my fingers
Into cold sunlight, laughing at the things that
I had planned, the map of my world gets
Smaller as I sit here, pulling at the loose threads now

We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

Did you wanna be a winner?
Did you wanna be an icon?
Did you wanna be famous?
Did you wanna be the president?
Did you wanna start a war?
Did you wanna have a family?
Did you wanna be in love?
Did you wanna be in love?

When we fall in love
We're just falling
In love with ourselves
We're spiralling
We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

Ooo!
Ooo!

STARING AT THE CEILING
Things will seem much better in the morning light,
Love will be much easier to own.
Things will look much better in the pale sunlight.
We can be together like before.

You just need time to forget.
You just need time to explain.
You just need time to forget yourself again.

You're lying on the floor and
Staring at the ceiling.
Thinking of the place you
have never seen before.

Remember when you held
someone for the first time.
Remember when the fire was all we had.

And you want life without death.
And you want love without pain.
And you want time to go back and start again.

Lying on the floor and
Staring at the ceiling.
Thinking of the place you
have never seen before.

Thinking of your own friends.
And waiting for the feeling.
Waiting for the old and turning to return.

These days you don't know who you are.
These days you don't know where you are.
These days we don't know who we are.

So meet me by the wall
where we used to go.

You're lying on the floor and
Staring at the ceiling.
Thinking of the place you
have never seen before.

Waiting for the phonecall.
And waiting for the feeling.
Waiting for the old rage
and turning to return.

STOP FOR A MINUTE
Some days, feels my soul has left my body
Feel I'm floating high above me
Like I'm looking down upon me

Start sinking, everytime I get to thinking
It's easier to keep on moving
Never stop to let the truth in

Sometimes I feel like it's all been done
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one
Sometimes I wanna change everything I've ever done
Too tired to fight and yet too scared to run

And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don't wanna know
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe

I feel like I'm a thief who has no faith
Maybe more than by the grade
Of the drugs you took that day

Sinking in the pain he's been inflicting
Yet he's feeling like the victim
Just a horoscope's to blame

Sometimes I feel like a little lost child
Sometimes I feel like the chosen one
Sometimes I wanna shout out 'til everything goes quiet
Sometimes I wonder why I was ever born

And if I stop for a minute
I think about things really I don't wanna know
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm child and so wherever you go
I will follow

(rap)
One... yeah...
And baby you are just beautiful from crown to your cuticles
You held down my two sons, you never frown when duty calls
You know me, I gave you more than you can handle
But you still keep a handle on it, even when I take something beautiful and vandal on it
No more females? Well how come my emails got notes on a scandal
It's like Eve with the apple,
A priest in the chapel
Overcome by the devil's tackle
I'm still shackling the bad til I know
I'm such a hassle every time I let my thoughts go
I get baffled so I hardly pause
I just crossed seas with these gnarly broads
Cos it hurts me just to see what I finally lost
So I guess I'm just a fiend
Consumed by the scene
The stage and the screens
Where it's just me and Keane

And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don't wanna know
So I guess I'm just a fiend
Consumed by the scene
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe
The stage and the screens
Where it's just me and Keane

STRANGELAND
Lover I remember, laying out our map,
Throwing our possessions in the van,
Your tapes piled on the back seat,
And a camera in your hand,
Dressed for our arrival in the strangeland

Strangeland blind,
You got no reason, you got no rhyme,
You get no time to put things right, to put things right

We drove across the border as the winter rains ran dry,
And only fitful birdsong filled the sky,
You threw your head back screaming,
As we raced across wet sand,
And leapt into the waters of the strangeland,

Strangeland blind,
You got no reason, you got no rhyme,
You get no time to put things right, to put things right

You wound the rope around me,
And you pulled the knots in tight,
And shook me like a bad dream from your sight,
And now the things i’ve done to forget you,
Well it’s not what i had planned,
The sweetest thoughts get twisted in the strangeland,

Strangeland blind,
You got no reason, you got no rhyme,
You get no time to put things right, to put things
Strangeland dreams,
You tore my baby away from me,
We get no time to put things right, to put things right
We get no time to put things right, to put things right
To put things right, to put things right

SUNSHINE
I hold you in my hands
A little animal
And only some dumb idiot would let you go
But if I'm one thing
Then that's the one
I should know

Ooh-oh, can anybody find their home?
Out of everyone can anybody find their home?

I hold you in cupped hands
And shield you from a storm
Where only some dumb idiot would let you go
But if I'm one thing
Then that's the one thing
I should know

Ooh-oh, can anybody find their home?
Out of everyone can anybody find their home?
Lost in the sun can anybody find their home?
Come on, come on, come on
Can anybody find their home?

(Instrumental Break)

Ooh-oh, can anybody find their home?
Out of everyone can anybody find their home?
Lost in the sun can anybody find their home?
Come on, come on, come on
Can anybody find their home?

Oooh, can anybody find their home?
Oooh, can anybody find their home?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

THAT'S ALL
Just as I thought it was going alright
I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
Always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, and you'd say night
tell me it's black when I know that it's white
always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

I could leave but I won't go
though my heart might tell me so
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
but why does it always seem to be
me looking at you, you looking at me
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

Turning me on, turning me off,
making me feel like I want too much
living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
running around, staying out all night
taking it all instead of taking one bite
living with you's just putting me through it all of the time

I could leave but I won't go
well it'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
why does it always seem to be
me looking at you, you looking at me
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

Truth is I love you
more than I wanted to
there's no point in trying to pretend
there's been no-one who
makes me feel like you do
say we'll be together till the end

I could leave but I won't go
it'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
so why does it always seem to be
me looking at you, you looking at me
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Well I could say day, and you'd say night
tell me it's black when I know that it's white
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
That's all
Always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

THE BOYS
The boys are grinning from the photograph,
It’s Friday night and they’re trying so hard,
The sun is dropping and they want to go,
Driving into town to see some girls they know,

The boys, blazing on a summer night,
Girls they want to watch them ride,
Is that the way it was before?
Because I don’t remember,
Boys, friends at every bar in town,
Running all the good days down,
Is that the way it was before?
Because I don’t remember.

We felt like fighters when we caught the plane,
Until that day we’d never heard it’s name,
We did some things we didn’t understand,
And now we feel like strangers in our own land

The boys, blazing on a summer night,
Girls they want to watch them fight,
Is that the way it was before?
cause I don’t remember,
Boys, friends at every bar in town,
Running all the good days down,
Is that the way it was before?
cause I don’t remember.

This photograph, I hold it when I sleep,
Because people soon stop asking,
When I cannot explain what I have seen,
And at the bars in town,
All the boys in town,
Are running all the good days down,
Running all the good days down,
Running all the good days down,
All the good days down

THE FROG PRINCE
An old fairytale told me
The simple heart will be prized again
A toad will be our king
And ugly ogres are heroes

Then you'll shake
Your fist at the sky
"Oh why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?"

All promises broken
Feed your people or lose your throne
And forfeit your whole kingdom
I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone

You were our golden child
But the gentle and the mild
Inherit the earth, while

Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Cos now we all know

Soon, someone will put a spell on you
Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know
You will lie in a deep sleep
That's when

Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Cos now we all know

THE LOVERS ARE LOSING
I dreamed I was drowning
in the river Thames
I dreamed I had nothing at all
nothing but my own skin

Slipped away from your open hand
into the river
saw your face looking back at me
I saw my past
and I saw my future

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
you cut them up and spread them out on the floor
you're full of hope as you begin rearranging
put it all back together
but anyway you look at things and try
the lovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching
a young lover's dance
I reached out to touch your hand
but I was watching from a distance

we cling to love like a skidding car
clinched to the corner
I try to hold on to what we are
the more I squeeze the quicker we all are

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
you cut them up and spread them out on the floor
you're full of hope as you begin rearranging
put it all back together
but anyway you look at things and try
the lovers are losing

I dreamed I had nothing at all (nothing at all)
I dreamed I had nothing at all

You take the pieces of the dreams that you had
cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
you cut them up and spread them out on the floor
you're full of hope as you begin rearranging
put it all back together
but in the final reckoning
we're trying
the lovers are losing

THE NIGHT SKY (short version)
One day i will be
back in our old street
safe from the noise that's
falling around me

And we'll release this town from the people
who are trying to knock it down
and then only city lights will brighten the night sky
and there will be no sound

Open the bars and
open the markets
open the banks and
open the churches

And we'll release this town from the people
who are trying to knock it down
and then only city lights will brighten the night sky
and there will be no sound

We've been cowering so long
oh what i would give
to stand at the bus stop
or browse in a bookshop
to sleep and always be still

And we'll release this town from the people
who are trying to knock it down
and then only city lights will brighten the night sky
and i will be set free from the people
who are trying to bury me
and then only fireworks will light the sky at night
for all the world can see

THE RIVER
I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride

THE STARTING LINE
This town was a lovers stage
but now you can't recognise
the streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
You can't find your bearings
your slipping into the ground
The scene has no colour and no sound.

You still believe in me
after the things i've done
You fear for what we have become
The ground is uneven
you stumble from day to day
You tread where it's easy
although your feet are like lead
and you gotta get underway

Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
but tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.

Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze
Love won't rest till it brings you to your knees
Some find it easy, some will never even know
You think you've done your journey,
then you stumble and find that theres such a long way to go

Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
Its too easy to get left behind
I know youve been kicked around
You wanna be lost but now your found
lets take the back way into town
Drink to the bad times
Lay them down on me

Girl, i still believe in you
your too good to fall so low
were gonna find a better life i know
Things will be clearer
as soon as we make a start
well be that much nearer
were too old to just stand here waiting to break apart

Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
Its too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
but tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.
On me, on me...

THE SUN AIN'T GONNA SHINE (ANYMORE)
Loneliness is the coat you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
Tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Baby

Emptiness is the place you're in
Nothing to lose, but no more to win

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
Tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Lonely
Without you
Baby
Oh, I need you
I can't go on

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
Tears are always clouding your eyes
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
When you're without love

Оoooooooooo
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
Not anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
Bring it back, baby
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
Oh, baby

THE WAY YOU WANT IT
From the shelter of your home
As you walk into the rain
Send a message that you know she'll hear
Though she's far away
Even though you have been wrong before
She'll hear you now
You know she will
But you don't know how

From the shelter of the rain
As you walk into the tube
As you think of how you wonder if she thinks about you too
Even though you've waited so long to see the day
When she will turn to you again
'So long my friend' is what you'll say

And I don't know why you feel so bad
Where is the life you once had?
And still this horrid feeling grows and grows
The way you want it to

Even though you've waited so long to see the day
When she will turn to you again
'So long my friend' is what you'll say

And I don't know why you feel so bad
Where is the life you once had?
And still this horrid feeling grows and grows
The way you want it to

You're a fool though
Why you feel so bad
Where is the life you once had?
And stilll this hollow feeling grows and grows
The way you want it to

THIN AIR
I can't keep up
You're moving too fast
Deep holes and darkness
These things will part

Dark times and strange places where
When I came to see you
You had nothing to say
I stood right beside you
You turned the other way
I reached out to hold you
And found nobody there
You turn into air

Trust me, I want you
Just as you are
Don't change the things you do
Just stay as you are

Dark times and strange places where
When I came to see you
You had nothing to say
I stood right beside you
You turned the other way
I reached out to hold you
And found nobody there
You turn into air

Dark times and strange places where
When I came to see you
You had nothing to say
I stood right beside you
You turned the other way
I reached out to hold you
And found nobody there
You turn into air

THIS IS THE LAST TIME
This is the last time
That I will say these words
I remember the first time
The first of many lies
Sweep it into the corner
Or hide it under the bed
Say these things they go away
But they never do

Something I wasn't sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I've seen too little of

The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
And I, no I don't mind

This is the last time
That I will show my face
One last tender lie and
Then I'm out of this place
Tread it into the carpet
Or hide it under the stairs
You say that some things never die
Well I tried and I tried

Something I wasn't sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I've seen too little of

The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
And I, no I don't mind

(Instrumental Break)

The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
And I, no I don't mind

TIME TO GO
Now, picturing a scene, seen it all before
We drink, we drink a little much, drink a little more
To shake off the nerves
And take off the edge
And now is there any way back home?

Seen it all before, and I know the signs
We drink, drink a little much, to stimulate the mind
Now it's two hours to go
And told everyone that you know
Now it's such a long way home

Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time we went
You're making a spectacle
Maybe it's time we left
I don't want to spoil your night
I don't want to hurt your pride
But maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time

Now, eating from your hand, laugh at every line
Soon, losing track of you, you're losing track of time
Now it's dead on the dancefloor
And nobody's laughing any more
Have I become a tiresome bore?

Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time we went
You're making a spectacle
Maybe it's time we left
I don't want to spoil your night
I don't want to hurt your pride
But maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time

To go, where there's nowhere to hide
From what's broken inside
A faultline ripped wide open
Under the wide, wide ocean's tide
Under the wide, wide ocean

Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time we went
You're making a spectacle
Maybe it's time we left
I don't want to spoil your night
I don't want to hurt your pride
Maybe it's time to fly
Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time

TO THE END OF THE EARTH
Down in the old town
When my mind is wandering
Round empty hallways
When will I be one again

You're just making it harder for yourself
Making it easy for everyone else
Making it easy for me

In the old town
You'll never be in and you'll never get out
You learn from the family
You'll never be in and you'll never get out
To run to the end of the Earth

Under the archways
When my mind is wallowing
Down to the country
Where I will be well again

You're just making it harder for yourself
Making it easy for everyone else
You're making it easy for me

In the old town
You'll never be in and you'll never get out
You learn from the family
You'll never be in and you'll never get out
To run to the end of the Earth
To the end of the Earth
And run to the end of the Earth

Build me a home underground
Free from light and sound
Build me a home in the air
I will run to the end, to the end
To the end of the Earth
And run to the, to the end
To the end of the Earth
And run to the end of the Earth

TRY AGAIN
I fell asleep on a late night train
I missed my stop and I went round again
Why would I want to see you now?
To fix it up, make it up somehow

Baby I'll try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

What I was isn't what I am
I'd change back but I don't know if I can

Still I'll try, try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

But I was made the way I am
I'm not a stone; I'm just a man
Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine
Rip back the time that we've been wasting

God I wish you could see me now
You'd pick me up and you'd sort me out

Still I'll try, try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

UNDER PRESSURE
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
That's o-kay!
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets

Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Chippin' around
Kick my brains round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours
People on streets
People on streets

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher higher higher
Pressure on people
People on streets

Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn

Why why why?
Love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love?

Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure… pressure

UNTITLED 1
A house on fire
A wall of stone
A door that once was open
An empty face and empty bones

Who ate your heart?
You're cold inside
You're not the one I hoped for
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side

The wind wouldn't blow me home
To lie in your heart of hearts
Will I ever see you again
And lie in your heart of hearts?

Who ate your heart?
You're cold inside
You're not the one I hoped for
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side

The wind wouldn't blow me home
To lie in your heart of hearts
Will I ever see you again
And lie in your heart of hearts?

UNTITLED 2
You chewed me up and you spat me out
Foolish boy that I am
So I choose to wander and amble around
And make myself a man

I thought the world could be changed by
A good soul and a song
But it's been this way such a long time
So maybe I'm wrong

So long ago, it must be
That you're still the one that's troubling me
And still so far, so far away
I sat with a tear in my hand
On a day, so long ago

Inside I am an ogre
With the simple thoughts of a child
I say what I think, and I need to be loved
But I guess that's not your style

So long ago, it must be
That you're still the one that's troubling me
And still so far, so far away
I sat with a tear in my hand
On a day, so long ago
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

WALNUT TREE
Once there was a great storm
Pushed my head beneath the waves
I was gone

Underneath the walnut tree
Where you said you'd wait for
And I waited a long, long time

I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time

Why, why do I come here?
Seeking out the memories I hold dear
Cos you put your spell on me
Made me live in memory
And I'm frozen in just the wrong time

I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time
I waited a long, long time

WATCH HOW YOU GO
The more we rush about, the less we do
I never saw you drift away
The more we spin around, the less we move
I never saw your spinning break
I wish that I could be the journey's end
But you are only passing through, yeah
It's not for me to try to stand in your way
I wish you well in all you do

Just say you'll watch how you go
Be gracious with your life
And may the years be kind now
Just say you'll mind how you roam
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now

I hope you know that you're a graceful soul
You fill the room with hope and light
It's only right that you should go your way
'Cause nothing ever lasts that long

Just say you'll watch how you go
Be gracious with your life
And may the years be kind now
Just say you'll mind how you roam

The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now

Behind now....behind now....behind now

Just say you'll watch how you go
Be gracious with your life
And may the years be kind now
Just say you'll mind how you roam
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now

WE MIGHT AS WELL BE STRANGERS
I don't know your face no more
Or feel the touch that I adore
I don't know your face no more
It's just a place I'm looking for

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a different world
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well

I don't know your thoughts these days
We're strangers in an empty space
I don't understand your heart
It's easier to be apart

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in another time
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well be strangers
Be strangers

For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The brigh blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow
So preety in the sky
And also on the faces
Of people going by

I see friends shaking hands
Saing "how do you do?"
They're really saing
"I love you"

I hear babies crying
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

WHITE CHRISTMAS
The sun's been hiding
The streets are grey
The rain has been falling down
Seems everyone wears a frown
For Christmas in London Town

It reminds me each time I roam
I'm longing to be back home

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones we used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear, sleighbells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones we used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And we all listen
To the Evening Session with Lammo
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

WITH OR WITHOUT YOU
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait...without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I, I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing left to win
And nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I, I can't live
With or without you

WOLF AT THE DOOR
Make me, shake me from my sleepiness
Wide eyed, every tale is taller then the one before

Inside out and upside down
Don't make a sound
The wolf's at the door
And all your street fighting years won't help you anymore

Lead me, guide me home old scatterbrain
Broader, every smile is wider than the one before

Inside out and upside down
And don't make a sound
The wolf's at the door
And all your street fighting years won't help you anymore

(Instrumental Break)

Inside out and upside down
And don't make a sound
So I live and I feel
Oh no, ohhh

Don't make a sound
The wolf's at the door
And all your street fighting years won't help you anymore
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

YOUR EYES OPEN
Well it's a lonely road that you have chosen
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
And it's a long time since your heart was frozen
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you and I don't want to
Till the moment your eyes open and you know

That it's a lonely place that you have run to
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
And it's a lonely end that you will come to
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you and I don't want to
Till the moment your eyes open and you know

(Instrumental Break)

For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you and I don't want to
Till the moment your eyes open and you know

YOUR LOVE
I didn't want to go
Go back and look for you
But it's a heartless drug I'm addicted to
And when I drive that road and start to feel that chill
I think I see your face
Do you come here still?

Those were the times and these were the places
Your Love is so good
And now that I'm here I suddenly find
I'm tumbling backward

Back to where I was before
Dreaming of glory in your love
And now I'm laying on your floor
Crashed on the surface of your love

The chemicals react, the molecules collide
The poison works its way somewhere down inside
When we were young, I really believed love would never leave us
But time has a knack of pulling the rug out from underneath us

And nothing matters anymore
I'm still a victim of your love
And now I'm banging on your door
Tumbling backwards with your love
Over and over with your love

I know they're only ghosts and memories that I'm clutching at
Maybe I'm reaching back for something I never had
Still it seemed so real to me
These ragged threads that lead me back to you
Losing my mind, waiting for you

Back to where I was before
Tumbling backwards with your love
And now I'm laying on your floor
Crashed on the surface of your love

Where the other dreams we had
Fractured and frozen with your love
You put a spell upon me there
To never be broken with your love
No where to run to with your love
Over and over with your love

YOUR SONG
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY
Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feelin' two-foot small

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

How could I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in

How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
