High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most
The ones whod been gone for so very long
She couldnt remember their names
They spun her around on the damp old stone
Spun away all her sorrow and pain
And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
They danced through the day and into the night
Through the snow that swept through the hall
From winter to summer and winter again
Til the walls did crumble and fall
And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most |
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners, and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses, and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
Cause here they come
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height
By someone who should have known better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
Cause here they come
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
Cause here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
Cause here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses?
Cause here they come |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
At seventeen I started to starve myself
I thought that love was a kind of emptiness
And at least I understood then the hunger I felt
And I didnt have to call it loneliness
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
Tell me what you need
Oh, you look so free
The way you use your body, baby
Come on and work it for me
Dont let them get you down
Youre the best thing Ive seen
We never found the answer
But we knew one thing
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
And its Friday night and its kicking in
In that pink dress, theyre gonna crucify me
Oh and you in all your vibrant youth
How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty
And for a moment
I thought that love was in the drugs
But the more I took, the more it took away
And I could never get enough
I thought that love was on the stage, give yourself to strangers
You dont have to be afraid
Then it tries to find a home
With people or when Im alone
Picking it apart
And staring at your phone
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
Tell me what you need
Oh, you look so free
The way you use your body, baby
Come on and work it for me
Dont let them get you down
Youre the best thing Ive seen
We never found the answer
But we knew one thing
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
And its Friday night and its kicking in
In that pink dress, theyre gonna crucify me
Oh and you in all your vibrant youth
How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty
And for a moment I forget to worry |
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn
And Ive been a fool and Ive been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
Im always dragging that horse around
All of his questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight Im gonna bury that horse in the ground
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
But its always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh-whoa
And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight Im gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
And its hard to dance
With a devil on your back
And given half the chance
Would I take any of it back?
Its a fine romance
But its left me so undone
Its always darkest before the dawn
Oh whoa
Oh whoa
And Im damned if I do and Im damned if I dont
So heres to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And Im ready to suffer and Im ready to hope
Its a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
But, what the hell, Im gonna let it happen to me, yeah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-woah-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-woah-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-woah-oh |
Drifting through the halls with the sunrise
Climbing up the walls for that flashing light
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Now the sun is up and Im going blind
Another drink just to pass the time
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Its a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And Im calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
Its a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning round
Never knew I was a dancer
Til Delilah showed me how
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around
Now Im dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
A different kind of danger in the daylight
Took anything to cut you, I can find
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
Now its one more boy and its one more line
Taking the pills just to pass the time
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
Its a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And Im calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
Its a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning round
Never knew I was a dancer
Til Delilah showed me how
Now Im dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
A different kind of danger in the daylight
Took anything to cut you, I can find
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
Strung up, strung out for your love
Hanging, hung up, its so rough
Im wrung and wringing out
Why cant you let me know?
Strung up, strung out for your love
Hanging, hung up, its so rough
Im wrung and wringing out
Why cant you let me know?
Its a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And Im calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
Its a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning round
Never knew I was a dancer
Til Delilah showed me how
Its a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And Im calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
Its a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
Til Delilah showed me how
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around |
How deeply are you sleeping or are you still awake?
A good friend told me youve been staying out so late
Be careful, oh, my darling, oh, be careful what it takes
From what Ive seen so far, the good ones always seem to break
And I was screaming at my father and you were screaming at me
And I can feel your anger from way across the sea
And I was kissing strangers, I was causing such a scene
Oh, the heart it hides such unimaginable things
Grab me by my ankles, Ive been flying for too long
I couldnt hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
And I want you so badly, but you could be anyone
I couldnt hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
Hold me down, Im so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, Im too tired now
Leave me where I lie
And I can tell that Im in trouble when that music starts to play
In a city without seasons, it keeps raining in LA
I feel like Im about to fall, the room begins to sway
And I can hear the sirens but I cannot walk away
Grab me by my ankles, Ive been flying for too long
I couldnt hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
And I want you so badly, but you could be anyone
I couldnt hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
Hold me down, Im so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, Im too tired now
Leave me where I lie
I thought I was flying but maybe Im dying tonight
I thought I was flying but maybe Im dying tonight
And I thought I was flying but maybe Im dying tonight
And I thought I was flying but maybe Im dying tonight
Hold me down, Im so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, Im too tired now
Leave me where I lie
Hold me down, Im too tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
And take me down, Im too tired now
Leave me where I lie |
You need a big god
Big enough to hold your love
You need a big god
Big enough to fill you up
You keep me up at night
To my messages, you do not reply
You know I still like you the most
The best of the best and the worst of the worst
Well, you can never know
The places that I go
I still like you the most
Youll always be my favourite ghost
You need a big god
Big enough to hold your love
You need a big god
Big enough to fill you up
Sometimes I think its getting better
And then it gets much worse
Is it just part of the process?
Jesus Christ, it hurts
Though I know I should know better
Well, I can make this work
Is it just part of the process?
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, it hurts
You need a big god
Big enough to hold your love
You need a big god
Big enough to fill you up
Shower your affection, let it rain on me
Pull down the mountain, drag your cities to the sea
Shower your affection, let it rain on me
Dont leave me on this white cliff
Let it slide down to the, slide down to the sea
Slide down to the, slide down to the sea |
Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And its peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under all
And its breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
Though the pressures hard to take
Its the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
And now I am under, oh
And its breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
And its over and Im going under
But Im not giving up, Im just giving in
Im slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet
And the arms of the ocean so sweet and so cold
And all this devotion I never knew at all
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released
And the arms of the ocean delivered me
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
Delivered me
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
Delivered me
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
Delivered me
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
And its over and Im going under
But Im not giving up, Im just giving in
Im slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet |
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them
And now its left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, Im always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, Im always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, Im always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, Im always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart |
I tried to leave it all behind me
But I woke up and there they were beside me
And I dont believe it but I guess its true
Some feelings, they can travel too
Oh there it is again, sitting on my chest
Makes it hard to catch my breath
I scramble for the light of change
Youre always on my mind
Youre always on my mind
And I never minded being on my own
Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
To be where you are
But even closer to you, you seem so very far
And now Im reaching out with every note I sing
And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here
And if I stay, oh, I dont know
Therell be so much that Ill have to let go
Youre disappearing all the time
But I still see you in the light
For you, the shadows fight
And its beautiful but theres that tug inside
I must stop time traveling, youre always on my mind
Youre always on my mind
Youre always on my mind
And I never minded being on my own
Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
To be where you are
But even closer to you, you seem so very far
And now Im reaching out with every note I sing
And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here
We all need something watching over us
Be it the falcons, the clouds or the cross
And then the sea swept in and left us all speechless
Speechless
And I never minded being on my own
Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
To be where you are
But even closer to you, you seem so very far
And now Im reaching out with every note I sing
And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here
Wish that you were here
Wish that you were here
Wish that you were here
I wish that you... |
Oh Patricia, youve always been my North Star
And I have to tell you something
Im still afraid of the dark
But you take my hand in your hand
From you the flowers grow
And do you understand with every seed you sow
You make this cold world beautiful?
You told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
You told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
Oh Patricia, youve always been my North Star, oh
Oh Patricia, youve always been my North Star, oh
Well, youre a real man, and you do what you can
You only take as much as you can grab with two hands
With your big heart, you praise God above
But hows that working out for you, honey?
Do you feel loved?
She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
Do you feel loved? Do you feel loved?
She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
Do you feel loved?
Oh Patricia, youve always been my North Star, oh
Oh Patricia, youve always been my North Star, oh
I drink too much coffee and think of you often
In a city where reality has long been forgotten
And are you afraid? Cause Im terrified
But you remind me that its such a wonderful thing to love
Its such a wonderful thing to love
Its such a wonderful thing to love
Its such a wonderful thing to love
Its such a wonderful thing
Its such a wonderful thing to love
Its such a wonderful thing to love
Its such a wonderful thing to love
Its such a wonderful thing to love
Its such a wonderful thing |
I was on a heavy tip
Trying to cross a canyon with a broken limb
You were on the other side, like always
Wondering what to do with life
Id already had a sip
So I reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it
You were on the other side, like always
You could never make your mind
And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years
What kind of man loves like this?
To let me dangle at a cruel angle
Oh, my feet dont touch the floor
Sometimes youre half in and then youre half out
But you never close the door
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
Youre a holy fool, all coloured blue
Red feet upon the floor
You do such damage, how do you manage?
To have me crawling back for more
And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
But I cant beat ya, cause Im still with ya
Oh mercy, I implore
Oh mercy, I implore
How do you do it? I think Im through it
Then Im back against the wall
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man? |
I feel nervous in a way that cant be named
I dreamt last night of a sign that read The end of love
And I remember thinking
Even in my dreaming
It was a good line for a song
We were a family pulled from the flood
You tore the floorboards up
And let the river rush in
Not wash away, wash away
We were reaching in the dark
That summer in New York
And it was so far to fall
But it didnt hurt at all
And let it wash away, wash away
In a moment of joy and fury I threw myself
From the balcony like my grandmother so many years before me
Ive always been in love with you
Could you tell it from the moment that I met you?
We were a family pulled from the flood
You tore the floorboards up
And let the river rush in
Not wash away, wash away
We were reaching in the dark
That summer in New York
And was it so far to fall?
You said it didnt hurt at all
And let it wash away, wash away
And Joshua came down from the mountain
With a tablet in his hands
Told me that he loved me, yeah
And then ghosted me again
We were reaching in the dark
That summer in New York
And it was so far to fall
But it didnt hurt at all
I let it wash away, wash away
Reaching in the dark
That summer in New York
And was it so far to fall?
You said it didnt hurt at all
And let it wash away, wash away |
Dont touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head
Dredging up great white sharks, swimming in the bed
Here comes a killer whale, to sing me to sleep
Thrashing the covers off, has me by its teeth
And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I cant help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?
Did I build a ship to wreck?
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?
Whats with the long face? Do you want more?
Thousands of red-eyed mice, scratching at the door
And dont let the curtain catch you, cause youve been here before
The chair is an island, darling, you cant touch the floor
And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I cant help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?
Did I build a ship to wreck?
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?
And good God
Under starless skies we are lost
And into the breach we got tossed
And the waters coming in fast
And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I cant help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?
Did I build a ship to wreck?
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck? |
Holy water cannot help you now
Thousand armies couldnt keep me out
I dont want your money
I dont want your crown
See, Ive come to burn your kingdom down
Holy water cannot help you now
See, Ive come to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
Im gonna raise the stakes
Im gonna smoke you out
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in my house
See, they were there when I woke up this morning
Ill be dead before the day is done
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See, I was dead when I woke up this morning
And Ill be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done
And now all your love will be exorcized
And we will find new saints to be canonized
And its an evensong, its a litany
Its a battle cry, its a symphony
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in my house
See, they were there when I woke up this morning
Ill be dead before the day is done
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See, I was dead when I woke up this morning
And Ill be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done
Before the day is done
Before the day is done
You cant keep it out
Its coming through the walls
To devastate your heart
And to take your soul
For what has been done
Cannot be undone
In the eagles eye
In the evensong
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See, I was dead when I woke up this morning
Ill be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done |
Oh, the king
Gone mad within his suffering
Called out for release
Someone cure him of his grief
His only son
Cut down, but the battle won
Oh, what is it worth
When all thats left is hurt?
Like the stars chase the sun
Over the glowing hill, I will conquer
Blood is running deep
Some things never sleep
Suddenly Im overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause youre driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause youre driving me away
Oh, the queen of peace
Always does her best to please
It isnt any use
Somebodys gotta lose
Like a long scream
Out there, always echoing
Oh, what is it worth?
All thats left is hurt
Like the stars chase the sun
Over the glowing hill, I will conquer
Blood is running deep
Some things never sleep
Suddenly Im overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause youre driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause youre driving me away
And my love is no good
Against the fortress that it made of you
Blood is running deep
Sorrow that you keep
Suddenly Im overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause youre driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause youre driving me away
To give yourself over to another body
Thats all you want really
To be out of your own and consumed by another
To swim inside the skin of your lover
Not to have to breathe, not to have to think
But you cant live on love; salt waters no drink |
I believe in you
And in our hearts we know the truth
And I believe in love
And the darker it gets, the more I do
Try and fill us with your hate and we will shine a light
And the days will become endless
And never, and never turn to night
And never, and never turn to night
Then its just too much
I cannot get you close enough
A hundred arms, a hundred years
You can always find me here
And, Lord, dont let me break this
Let me hold it lightly
Give me arms to pray with
Instead of ones that hold too tightly
We have no need to fight
We raise our voices and let our hearts take flight
Get higher than those planes can fly
Where the stars do not take sides
Then its just too much
I cannot get you close enough
A hundred arms, a hundred years
You can always find me here
And, Lord, dont let me break this
Let me hold it lightly
Give me arms to pray with
Instead of ones that hold too tightly
And then its just too much
The streets, they still run with blood
A hundred arms, a hundred years
You can always find me here
And, Lord, dont let me break this
Let me hold it lightly
Give me arms to pray with
Instead of ones that hold too tightly
I let him sleep and as he does
My held breath fills the room with love
Hurts in ways I cant describe
My heart bends and breaks so many, many times
And is born again with each sunrise
And is born again with each sunrise
Funerals were held all over the city
The youth bleed in the square
And women raged as old men fumbled and cried
Were sorry, we thought you didnt care, oh
And how does it feel now youve scratched that itch?
How does it feel?
And pulled out all your stitches
Hubris is a bitch
A hundred arms, a hundred years
A hundred arms, a hundred years
And then its just too much
The streets, they still run with blood
A hundred arms, a hundred years
You can always find me here
And, Lord, dont let me break this
Let me hold it lightly
Give me arms to pray with
Instead of ones that hold too tightly, yeah |
The show was ending and I had started to crack
Woke up in Chicago when the sky turned black
And youre so high, youre so high, you have to be an angel
And Im so high, Im so high, I can see an angel
I hear your heart beating in your chest
The world slows till theres nothing left
Skyscrapers look on like great, unblinking giants
In those heavy days in June
When love became an act of defiance
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other
And you were broken-hearted
And the world was too
And I was beginning to lose my grip
And I have always held it loosely
But this time I admit
I felt it really start to slip
And choirs sing in the street
And I would come to you
To watch the television screen
In your hotel room
Im always down to hide with you
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other
Youre so high, youre so high
Youre so high, youre so high
Youre so high, youre so high
You have to be an angel
And Im so high, Im so high
Im so high, Im so high
Im so high, Im so high
I can see an angel |
Between a crucifix and the Hollywood sign, we decided to get hurt
Now there’s a few things we have to burn
Set our hearts ablaze, and every city was a gift
And every skyline was like a kiss upon the lips
And I was making you a wish
In every skyline
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how beautiful
And meanwhile a man was falling from space
And every day I wore your face
Like an atmosphere around me
A satellite beside me
And meanwhile a man was falling from space
As he hit the earth I left this place
Let the atmosphere surround me
A satellite beside me
What are we gonna do?
Weve opened the door, now its all coming through
Tell me you see it too
Weve opened our eyes and its changing the view
Oh, what are we gonna do?
Weve opened the door, now its all coming through
How big, how blue, how
How big, how blue, how
And every city was a gift
And every skyline was like a kiss upon the lips
And I was making you a wish
In every skyline
And meanwhile a man was falling from space
And every day I wore your face
Like an atmosphere around me
Im happy youre beside me
What are we gonna do?
Weve opened the door, now its all coming through
Tell me you see it too
Weve opened our eyes and its changing the view
Oh, what are we gonna do?
Weve opened the door, now its all coming through
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how...
So much time on the other side
Waiting for you to wake up
So much time on the other side
Waiting for you to wake up
Maybe Ill see you in another life
If this one wasnt enough
So much time on the other side
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how... |
Sometimes, I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes, I feel like saying, Lord, I just dont care
But youve got the love I need to see me through
Sometimes, it seems the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then, it seems that life is just too much
But youve got the love I need to see me through
When food is gone, you are my daily need, oh
When friends are gone, I know my saviors love is real
You know its real
Cause youve got the love, youve got the love and youve got the love
Youve got the love, youve got the love and youve got the love
Time after time I think, Oh, Lord, whats the use?
Time after time, I think its just no good
Cause sooner or later in life, the things you love, you lose
But youve got the love I need to see me through
Youve got the love, youve got the love and youve got the love
Youve got the love, youve got the love and youve got the love
Youve got the love, youve got the love and youve got the love
Youve got the love, youve got the love and youve got the love
Sometimes, I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
Cause I know I can count on you, oh
Sometimes, I feel like saying, Lord, I just dont care
But youve got the love I need to see me through |
Im sorry I ruined your birthday
I guess I could go back to university
Try and make my mother proud
Stop this phase Im in, she deems dangerous and loud
The spelling is a problem
As is the discipline
And I dont think it would be too long
Before I was drunk in Camberwell again
This is the only thing Ive ever had any faith in
Grace, I know you carry us
Grace, and it was such a mess
Grace, I dont say it enough
Grace, you are so loved
Im sorry I ruined your birthday, you had turned 18
And the sunshine hit me and I was behaving strangely
All the walls were melting and there were mermaids everywhere
Hearts flew from my hands, and I could see peoples feelings
This is the only thing Ive ever had any faith in
Grace, I know you carry us
Grace, and it was such a mess
Grace, I dont say it enough
Grace, you are so loved
And you, you were the one I treated the worst
Only because you loved me the most
We havent spoken in a long time
I think about it sometimes
I dont know who I was back then
And I hope on hope
I would never treat anyone like that again
This is the only thing Ive ever had any faith in
Grace, I know you carry us
Grace, and it was such a mess
Grace, I dont say it enough
Grace, you are so loved
Grace, I know you carry us
Grace, and it was such a fucking mess
Grace, I dont say it enough
Grace, you are so loved
This is the only thing Ive ever had any faith in
This is the only thing Ive ever had any faith in
This is the only thing Ive ever had any faith in
This is the only thing Ive ever had any faith in |
When I go home alone
I drive past the place where I was born
And the places that I used to drink
Young and drunk and stumbling in the street
Outside the Joiners Arms like foals unsteady on their feet
With the art students and the boys in bands
High on E and holding hands with someone that I just met
I thought, It doesnt get better than this
There can be nothing better than this, better than this.
And we climbed onto the roof of the museum
And someone made love in the grass
And I forgot my name
And the way back to my mothers house
With your Blackpool eyes and your bitten lips
The world is at your fingertips
It doesnt get better than this
What else could be better than this?
Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the fields aflame
And everything I ever did
Was just another way to scream your name
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again
And were just children wanting children of our own
I want a space to watch things grow
But did I dream too big? Do I have to let it go?
And what if one day there is no such thing as snow?
Oh God, what do I know?
And I dont know anything
Except that green is so green
And theres a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring
Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the fields aflame
But everything I ever did
Was just another way to scream your name
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again
Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the fields aflame
But everything I ever did
Was just another way to scream your name |
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
That original lifeline
Hey, look up
Dont make a shadow of yourself
Always shutting out the light
Caught in your own creation
Look up, look up
It tore you open
And oh, how much?
Cause theres a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you dont know why
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
That original lifeline
Hey, look up
You dont have to be a ghost
Here amongst the living
You are flesh and blood
And you deserve to be loved
And you deserve what you are given
And oh, how much?
Cause theres a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you dont know why
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
Cause theres a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you dont know why
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
That original lifeline
That original lifeline
Cause your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you
But your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you
Im the same, Im the same
Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same
Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same
Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same
Im trying to change
Cause theres a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you dont know why
Im the same, Im the same
Im trying to change

Ever since I was a child
Ive turned it over in my mind
I sang by the piano
Tore my yellow dress and
Cried and cried and cried
Now to unsee what Ive seen
To undo what has been done
Turn off all the lights
Let the morning come, come
Now theres green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Cry and cry and cry
Over the love of you
All this champagne drunken home
Against the current of gold
Everybody see I love him
Cause its a feeling that you get
When the afternoon is set
On the bridge into the city
And now to unsee what Ive seen
To undo what has been done
Turn off all the lights
Let the morning come
Now theres green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Cry and cry and cry
Because youre a hard soul to save
With an ocean in my way
But Ill get around it, Ill get around it
Cause youre a hard soul to save
With an ocean in the way
But Ill get around it
Now theres green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Cry and cry and cry
Over the love of you
Cry and cry and cry and
Over the love of you
Cry and cry and cry and
Over the love of you
Cry and cry and cry and
Over the love of you
I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes
I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes
I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes
I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes
I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes |
And the air was full
Of various storms and saints
Parading in the streets
As the banks began to break
And Im in the throes of it
Somewhere in the belly of the beast
But you took your toll on me
So I gave myself over willingly
You got a hold on me
I dont know how I dont just stand outside and scream
I am teaching myself how to be free
The monument of the memory
You tear it down in your head
Dont make the mountain your enemy
Get out, get up there instead
You saw the stars out in front of you
Too tempting not to touch
But even though it shocked you
Somethings electric in your blood
Can people just untie themselves
Uncurling like flowers
If you could just forgive yourself
But still you stumble, your feet give way
Outside the world seems a violent place
But you had to have him, and so you did
Some things you let go in order to live
While all around you, the buildings sway
Sing it out loud, who made us this way?
I know youre bleeding, but youll be okay
Hold on to your heart, youll keep it safe
Hold on to your heart, dont give it away
Now find a rooftop to sing from
Now find a hallway to dance
You dont need no edge to cling from
Your heart is there, its in your hands
I know it seems like forever
I know it seems like an age
But one day this will be over
I swear its not so far away
Can people just untie themselves
Uncurling like flowers
If you could just forgive yourself
But still you stumble, your feet give way
Outside the world seems a violent place
But you had to have him, and so you did
Some things you let go in order to live
While all around you, the buildings sway
Sing it out loud, who made us this way?
I know youre bleeding, but youll be okay
Hold on to your heart, youll keep it safe
Hold on to your heart |
You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said
You are the night-time fear
You are the morning when its clear
When its over, youre the start
Youre my head and youre my heart
No light, no light
In your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You cant choose what stays and what fades away
And Id do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
Through the crowd I was crying out and
In your place there were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me, I need to make it right
You want a revelation
You want to get right
But its a conversation
I just cant have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
No light, no light
In your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You cant choose what stays and what fades away
And Id do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
Would you leave me
If I told you what Ive done?
And would you leave me
If I told you what Ive become?
Because its so easy
To say it to a crowd
But its so hard, my love
To say it to you out loud
No light, no light
In your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You cant choose what stays and what fades away
And Id do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
You want a revelation
You want to get right
But its a conversation
I just cant have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
You want a revelation
You want to get right
But its a conversation
I just cant have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
Tell me what you want me to say |
Another conversation with no destination
Another battle never won
And each side is a loser
So who cares who fired the gun?
And Im learning, so Im leaving
And even though Im grieving
Im trying to find the meaning
Letting loss reveal it
Letting loss reveal it
St. Jude, the patron saint of the lost causes
St. Jude, we were lost before she started
St. Jude, we lay in bed as she whipped around us
St. Jude, maybe Ive always been more comfortable in chaos
And I was on the island and you were there too
But somehow through the storm I couldnt get to you
St. Jude, somehow she knew
And she came to give her blessing while causing devastation
And I couldnt keep my mouth shut, I just had to mention
Grabbing your attention
St. Jude, the patron saint of the lost causes
St. Jude, we were lost before she started
St. Jude, we lay in bed as she whipped around us
St. Jude, maybe Ive always been more comfortable in chaos
St. Jude, St. Jude
St. Jude, St. Jude
And Im learning, so Im leaving
And even though Im grieving
Im trying to find the meaning
Letting loss reveal it
Letting loss reveal it
And Im learning, so Im leaving
And even though Im grieving
Im trying to find the meaning
Letting loss reveal it
Letting loss reveal it |
Time it took us
To where the water was
That’s what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
But oh, my love, don’t forsake me
Take what the water gave me
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
And oh, poor Atlas
The world’s a beast of a burden
You’ve been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the ships are left to rust
That’s what the water gave us
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Because they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You couldnt have it any other way
Because she’s a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
But oh, my love, don’t forget me
While I let the water take me
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow |
And its hard to write about being happy
Cause the older I get
I find that happiness is an extremely uneventful subject
And there would be no grand choirs to sing
No chorus could come in
About two people sitting doing nothing
But I must confess
I did it all for myself
I gathered you here to hide from some vast unnameable fear
But the loneliness never left me
I always took it with me
But I can put it down in the pleasure of your company
And there will be no grand choirs to sing
No chorus will come in
No ballad will be written
It will be entirely forgotten
And if tomorrow its all over
At least we had it for a moment
Oh, darling, things seem so unstable
But for a moment we were able to be still
And there will be no grand choirs to sing
No chorus will come in
No ballad will be written
This will be entirely forgotten |
And I had a dream
About my old school
And she was there all pink and gold and glittering
I threw my arms around her legs
Came to weeping
Came to weeping
And I heard your voice as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange and so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, youre the only light
Only if for a night
And the grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honor
Dancing on tiptoes
My own secret ceremonials
Before the service began
In the graveyard doing handstands
And I heard your voice as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange and so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, youre the only light
Only if for a night
My doe, my dear, my darling
Tell me what all the sighing is about
Tell me what all the sighing is about
And I heard your voice as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange and so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night |
And its my whole heart
Weighed and measured inside
And its an old scar
Trying to bleach it out
And its my whole heart
Deemed and delivered a crime
Im on trial, waiting til the beat comes out
Im on trial, waiting til the beat comes out
Whos a heretic now?
Am I making sense?
How can you make it stick?
Waiting til the beat comes out
Whos a heretic, child?
Can you make it stick, now?
And Im on trial
Waiting til the beat comes out
Im miles away, hes on my mind
Im getting tired of crawling all the way
Ive had enough, its obvious
And Im getting tired of crawling all the way
Crawling all the way
Crawling all the way
Im not beaten by this yet
You cant tell me to regret
Been in the dark since the day we met
Fire, help me to forget
Im not beaten by this yet
You cant tell me to regret
Been in the dark since the day we met
Fire, help me to forget
And its my whole heart
While tried and tested, its mine
And its my whole heart
Trying to reach it out
And its my whole heart
Burned but not buried this time
Im on trial, waiting til the beat comes out
Im on trial, waiting til the beat comes out
Im miles away, hes on my mind
Im getting tired of crawling all the way
Ive had enough, its obvious
And Im getting tired of crawling all the way
Im not beaten by this yet
You cant tell me to regret
Been in the dark since the day we met
Fire, help me to forget
Im not beaten by this yet
You cant tell me to regret
Been in the dark since the day we met
Fire, help me to forget
Chained and shackled, oh
Ill unravel, oh
Its a pity, oh
Never to return
But I never learn
Its a pity, oh
Chained and shackled, oh
Ill unravel, oh
Its a pity, oh
Say I wont return
But I never learn
Its a pity, oh
Ooh... |
Want me to love you in moderation
Do I look moderate to you?
Sip it slowly and pay attention
I just have to see it through
You got me looking for validation
Pastures new
Want me to love you in moderation
Well, who do you think youre talking to?
Then bow your head in the house of God
And little girl, who do you think you are?
You think you need it, you think you want love
You wouldnt want it if you knew what it was
Moderation
Moderation
Moderation
I never made it with moderation
No, I never understood
All the feeling was all or nothing
And I took everything I could
Cant hold it back, I cant take the tension
Oh, Im trying to be good
Want me to love you in moderation
Well dont you know, I wish I could
Then bow your head in the house of God
And little girl, who do you think you are?
You think you need it, you think you want love
You wouldnt want it if you knew what it was
Moderation
Moderation
Moderation
Girl, you better learn
How to hold it in
And girl, you better learn
I just cant win

I dont see the worth
And Im still tryna figure out if it
Always, always, always has to hurt
You want love

The looking glass, so shiny and new
How quickly the glamour fades
I start spinning, slipping out of time
Was that the wrong pill to take?
You made a deal, and now it seems you have to offer up
But will it ever be enough?
Its not enough
Here I am, a rabbit-hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems Ive made the final sacrifice
We raise it up, this offering
We raise it up
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
I look around, but I cant find you
If only I could see your face
I start rushing towards the skyline
I wish that I could just be brave
I must become a lion-hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice
We raise it up, this offering
We raise it up
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
Raise it up, raise it up
Raise it up, raise it up
And in the spring I shed my skin
And it blows away with the changing wind
The waters turn from blue to red
As towards the sky I offer it
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
This is a gift |
She told me not to step on the cracks
I told her not to fuss and relax
Well, her pretty little face stopped me in my tracks
But now she sleeps with one eye open
Thats the price shell pay
I took a knife and cut out her eye
I took it home and watched it wither and die
Well, shes lucky that I didnt slip her a smile
That’s why she sleeps with one eye open, oh
But thats the price shell pay
I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
Ill cut your little heart out ‘cause you made me cry
I slipped my hand under her skirt
I said dont worry, its not gonna hurt
Oh, my reputations kind of clouded with dirt
That’s why you sleep with one eye open
But thats the price youll pay
I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
Ill cut your little heart out ‘cause you made me cry
You made me cry
You made me cry
You made me cry
I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
And I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
And I said, hey, girl with one eye
Ill cut your little heart out ‘cause you made me cry |
If you could only see the beast youve made of me
I held it in, but now it seems youve set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when were apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to
Howl, howl
Howl, howl
Now theres no holding back, Im ready to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints cant help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground
Like some child, possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you, tear out all your tenderness and
Howl, howl
Howl, howl
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet, and turns them to hunters
The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms, I cannot rest
The saints cant help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground
And howl, howl
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet, and turns them to hunters
A man whos pure of heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright
If you could only see the beast youve made of me
I held it in, but now it seems youve set it running free
The saints cant help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground |
When we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colours on our skin
We were light and paper thin
And when we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colours in our skin
Until we let the spectrum in
Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
And when we come for you
Well be dressed up all in blue
With the ocean in our arms
Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms
And when its time to pray
Well be dressed up all in grey
With metal on our tongues
And silver in our lungs
Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
And when we come back well be dressed in black
And youll scream our names aloud
And we wont eat and we wont sleep
Well drag bodies from the ground
So say my name
And every colour illuminates
And we are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every colour illuminates
Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Say my name
We are shining
Say my name
Say my name
And we will never be afraid again |
And I came to, walking on the train tracks
How did I get here? And how do I get back?
Ive been up all night, lets stay awake
Push it further, you know Ill never break
At some point in the party, I thought my heart was failing
You said, Hey, youre okay; you seem to be still standing
Flashes appeared at the corner of my eyes
I saw the stars and I didnt ask why
Heard the voices and caught my breath
So close and yet so far from death
So close and yet so far from death
So close and yet so far from death
Well, the feeling was always too much for me
It always came too strong
I wanted to get it right so badly that I always got it wrong
So you keep pushing on
You hope it wont be long
Til you can find the child you were
And find a way to get along
Dont go blindly into the dark
In every one of us shines the light of love
Dont go blindly into the dark
In every one of us shines the light of love
Dont go blindly into the dark
In every one of us shines the light of love
Dont go blindly into the dark
In every one of us shines the light of love
And, oh, my little sister, when the drugs were wearing off
I climbed into your bed and said, I think I did too much
In some ways that was simpler, being too fucked up to see
I didnt have to wake up to the world that was around me
And now we are awake and it seems too much to take
I want to close my eyes because I fear my heart will break
I want to look away
I want to look away
I want to look away
I must not look away
Dont go blindly into the dark
In every one of us shines the light of love
Dont go blindly into the dark
In every one of us shines the light of love
Dont go blindly into the dark
In every one of us shines the light of love
Dont go blindly into the dark
In every one of us shines the light of love
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-ah
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-ah
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-ah
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-ah
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-ah
I want to look away
I want to look away
I want to look away
I must not look away
I must not look away
I must not look away
I must not look away
I must not look away |
And the crown, it weighs heavy
Til its banging on my eyelids
Retreating in covers and closing the curtains
One things for certain, oh
A year like this passes so strangely
Somewhere between sorrow and bliss
Oh, who decides from where up high?
I couldnt say I need more time
Oh, grant that I can stay the night
Or one more day inside this life
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, ever enough
Oh, you wondrous creature
Coming up who we are
Cause Im retreating in covers and closing the curtains
One things for certain, oh
A year like this passes so strangely
Somewhere between sorrow and bliss
And who decides from where up high?
I couldnt say I need more time
Oh, grant that I can stay the night
Or one more day inside this life
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, ever enough
And who cares about the thing I did that night?
So what? Maybe Luna had it right
And who cares if Im coming back alive?
So what? Least I have the strength to fight
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, ever enough
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
A hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me |
Oh Lord, wont you leave me
Leave me on my knees?
Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to me
And oh Lord, wont you leave me
Leave me just like this?
Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this
How I long for the autumn
The sun keeps burning me
Every stone in this city keeps reminding me, oh
Can you protect me from what I want?
The lover I let in who left me so lost
Mother, make me
Make me a big tall tree
So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me
Mother, make me
Make me a big grey cloud
So I can rain on you things I cant say out loud
All these couples are kissing
And I cant stand the heat
I lost my shoes and left the party
I wandered in the street
I put my feet into the fountain
The statues all asleep
No use wishing on the water
It grants you no relief
Mother, make me
Make me a bird of prey
So I can rise above this, let it fall away
Mother, make me
Make me a song so sweet
Heaven trembles, falling at my feet
Oh Lord, wont you leave me
Leave me on my knees?
Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to me
And oh Lord, wont you leave me
Leave me just like this?
Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this
Oh Lord, wont you leave me
Leave me on my knees?
Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to me
And oh Lord, wont you leave me
Leave me just like this?
Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this |
Well, I didnt tell anyone, but a bird flew by
Saw what Id done, he set up a nest outside
And he sang about what Id become
He sang so loud, sang so clear
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear
So I invited him in, just to reason with him
I promised I wouldnt do it again
But he sang louder and louder inside the house
And no I couldnt get him out
So I trapped him under a cardboard box
Stood on it to make him stop
I picked up the bird and above the din I said
Thats the last song youll ever sing
Held him down, broke his neck
Taught him a lesson he wouldnt forget
But in my dreams began to creep
That old familiar tweet, tweet, tweet
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
I waved my arms and flapped about
But I couldnt scream and I couldnt shout
Couldnt scream and I couldnt shout
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
I waved my arms and flapped about
But I couldnt scream and I couldnt shout
The song was coming from my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth
From my mouth |
Its the hardest thing Ive ever had to do
To try and keep from calling you
Well, can my dreams keep coming true?
How can they?
Cause when I sleep, I never dream of you
As if the dream of you, it sleeps too
But it never slips away
It just gains its strength and digs its hooks
To drag me through the day
But Im caught
I forget all that Ive been taught
I cant keep calm, I cant keep still
Pulled apart against my will
Its the hardest thing Ive ever had to prove
You turned to salt as I turned around to look at you
Old friends have said, the books Ive read
Say its the thing to do
But its hard to see it when youre in it
Cause I went blind for you
Then you leave my head, crawl out the bed
You subconscious solipsist
And for those hours deep in the dark
Perhaps you dont exist
But Im caught
I forget all that Ive been taught
I cant keep calm, I cant keep still
Pulled apart against my will
And Im thrashing on the line
Somewhere between
Desperate and divine
I cant keep calm, I cant keep still
Persephone will have her fill
But Im caught
I forget all that Ive been taught
I cant keep calm, I cant keep still
Pulled apart against my will
But Im caught
I forget all that Ive been taught
I cant keep calm, I cant keep still
Pulled apart against my will |
Lost in the fog, these hollow hills
Blood running hot, night chills
Without your love, Ill be
So long and lost, are you missing me?
Is it too late to come on home?
Are all those bridges now old stone?
Is it too late to come on home?
Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song
I need the clouds to cover me
Pulling them down, surround me
Without your love Ill be
So long and lost, are you missing me?
Is it too late to come on home?
Are all those bridges now old stone?
Is it too late to come on home?
Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song
Its been so long between the words we spoke
Will you be there up on the shore, I hope
You wonder why it is that I came home
I figured out where I belong
But its too late to come on home
Are all those bridges now old stone?
But its too late to come on home
Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song |
Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realize that it was you who held me under
Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack
All around the world was waking, I never could go back
Because all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open
And finally it seemed that the spell was broken
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
Snow White is stitching up your circuit-boards
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
Snow White is stitching up your circuit-board
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
Snow Whites stitching up your circuit-boards
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
Snow Whites stitching up your circuit-board
Synapse slipping through the hidden door |
I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown
I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across the ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown
My love has concrete feet
My loves an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
Im so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
Im so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
And is it worth the wait?
All this killing time?
Are you strong enough to stand
Protecting both your heart and mine?
Who is the betrayer?
Whos the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors
And doesnt make a sound
My love has concrete feet
My loves an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
My love has concrete feet
My loves an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
Im so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
Im so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
This will be my last confession
I love you, never felt like any blessing, oh
Whispering like its a secret
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart
Whoa
Heavy, heavy
Im so heavy in your arms
Heavy, heavy
Im so heavy in your arms
Heavy, heavy
Im so heavy in your arms
Heavy, heavy
Im so heavy in your arms
I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown
I was a heavy heart to carry
But he never let me down
When he had me in his arms
My feet never touched the ground
Im so heavy
Heavy in your arms
Heavy, Im so heavy in your arms |
Blinded by the glare
I was moving like I didnt care
But it was more than I could bear
You know I hoped Id see you there
Staring out the window
I could see into the soul of every passer by
So many lives
So many pairs of eyes
A pure feeling
Im invisible and magical
If only for a moment
A pure feeling
Im scared to control it
Stretching out my arms
I let it comfort me
Our bodies moving in the dark
It takes the pain from me
And then I am in love
With everyone I see
I keep on moving in the spaces where you used to be
And the illusion starts to tear
Let everybody stand and stare
Cause now I have no fear
I knew that this would end in tears
Staring out the window
I could see into the soul of every passer by
So many lives
So many pairs of eyes
A pure feeling
Im invisible and magical
If only for a moment
A pure feeling
Im scared to control it
Stretching out my arms
I let it comfort me
Our bodies moving in the dark
It takes the pain from me
And then I am in love
With everyone I see
I keep on moving in the spaces where you used to be
Those strangers carry me
Im lost; theyre finding me
Im gone; theyre there with me
But its not over
The spaces in between
They keep you far from me
The emptiness; it means its not over
Stretching out my arms
I let it comfort me
Our bodies moving in the dark
It takes the pain from me
And then I am in love
With everyone I see
I keep on moving in the spaces where you used to be
Stretching out my arms
I let it comfort me
Our bodies moving in the dark
It takes the pain from me
And then I am in love
With everyone I see
I keep on moving in the spaces where you used to be |
And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs
In prayers and proclamations
In the grand deeds of great men and the smallest of gestures
In short shallow gasps
But with all my education I can’t seem to command it
And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can’t seem to understand it
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
Because I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all
And it talks to me in tiptoes
And it sings to me inside
It cries out in the darkest night and breaks in the morning light
But with all my education I can’t seem to command it
And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can’t seem to understand it
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
Because I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
Because I’ve been scrawling it forever, but it never makes sense to me at all
No words
Poor language
It doesn’t deserve such treatment
And all my stumbling phrases never amounted
To anything worth this feeling
All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as Im hearing
Words were never so useful
So I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before |
You hit me once
I hit you back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate
Over my head
Then I set fire to our bed
You hit me once
I hit you back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate
Over my head
Then I set fire to our bed
My black eye casts no shadow
Your red eye sees no blame
Your slaps dont stick
Your kicks dont hit
So we remain the same
Blood sticks, sweat drips
Break the lock if it dont fit
A kick in the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better than none
Whoa, a kiss with a fist is better than none
Broke your jaw once before
I spilled your blood upon the floor
You broke my leg in return
So lets sit back and watch the bed burn
Blood sticks, sweat drips
Break the lock if it dont fit
A kick in the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better than none
Whoa, a kiss with a fist is better than none
You hit me once
I hit you back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate
Over my head
Then I set fire to our bed
You hit me once
I hit you back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate
Over my head
Then I set fire to our bed |
I never thought Id be a killer
Cause theres so much to lose
But if I cant drink the water
What else can I do?
And although the axe is heavy
It just sits in my hands
While youre changing like the current
Not a shore on land
Every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my hand around
Make up your mind
Let me live or let me love you
While youve been saving your neck
Ive been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My backs to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up your mind
Before I make it up for you
I never thought that Id be facing
A sea thats bluer than the tide
Now my knees are shaking
And I cant look in your eyes
But if youre gonna make me do it
Howd you want it done?
Is it best to sip it slowly
Or drink it down in one?
Every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my hand around
Make up your mind
Let me live or let me love you
While youve been saving your neck
Ive been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My backs to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up your mind
Before I make it up for you
The executioners within me
And he comes, blindfold ready
Sword in hand
And arms so steady
Every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my hand around
But every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my hand around
Make up your mind
Let me live or let me love you
While youve been saving your neck
Ive been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My backs to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up your mind
Before I make it up for you
Make up your mind
Let me live or let me love you
While youve been saving your neck
Ive been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My backs to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up your mind
Before I make it up for you |
This is as good a place to fall as any
Will you build our altar here?
Make me your Maria
Im already on my knees
You had Jesus on your breath
And I caught him in mine
Sweating out confessions
The undone and the divine, cause
This is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers
And I cant get enough
Whoa, whoa, yeah, ah, ah
Spilt milk tears
I did this for you
Spilling over the idol
The black and the blue
The sweetest submission
Drinking it in
The wine, the women, the bedroom hymns
This is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers
And I cant get enough
Whoa, whoa, ah, ah
Whoa, whoa, yeah
I cant get enough
Im not here looking for absolution
Because I found myself an old solution
Im not here looking for absolution
Because I found myself an old solution
This is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers
And I cant get enough
This is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers
And I cant get enough
Whoa, whoa, yeah
And I cant get enough
Whoa, whoa, yeah
I cant get enough
Whoa, whoa, yeah, ah, ah |
Theres a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when youre around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
Theres a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
Louder than sirens, louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell
I ran to the tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drums still beating loud and clear
Louder than sirens, louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell
Louder than sirens, louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell
Louder than sirens, louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat, it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldnt wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldnt wash the echoes out
I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Until theres nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the song has just begun
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat, it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
Theres a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when youre around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
Theres a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when youre around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
Louder than sirens, louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell
Louder than sirens, louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat, it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder |
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the Moon is the only light well see
No, I wont be afraid
Oh, I wont be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So, darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I wont cry, I wont cry
No, I wont shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever youre in trouble
Wont you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Whenever youre in trouble
Wont you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me |
I think you hide
When all the worlds asleep and tired
You cry a little, so do I, so do I
I think you hide
And you dont have to tell me why
You cry a little, so do I, so do I
Tell me I will be released
Not sure I can deal with this
Up all night again this week
Breaking things that I should keep
I know that youre hiding
I know theres a part of you that I just cannot reach
You dont have to let me in
Just know that Im still here
Im ready for you whenever, whenever you need
Whenever you want to begin
I know youve tried
But something stops you every time
You cry a little, so do I, so do I
And its your pride
Thats keeping us still so far apart
But if you give a little, so will I, so will I
Tell me I will be released
Not sure I can deal with this
Up all night again this week
Breaking things that I should keep
I know that youre hiding
I know theres a part of you that I just cannot reach
You dont have to let me in
Just know that Im still here
Im ready for you whenever, whenever you need
Whenever you want to begin
I know I seem shaky
These hands not fit for holding
But if you let me, oh
I will see you right
Tell me I will be released
Not sure I can deal with this
Up all night again this week
Breaking things that I should keep
Tell me I will be released
Not sure I can deal with this
Up all night again this week
Breaking things that I should keep
Tell me I will be released
Not sure I can deal with this
Up all night again this week
Breaking things that I should keep
I know that youre hiding
I know theres a part of you that I just cannot reach
You dont have to let me in
Im still here
Im still here |
Between two lungs it was released
The breath that carried me
The sigh that blew me forward
Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming, we are all too young to die
Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
It flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept between two lungs
It was released
The breath that passed from you to me
It flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept
Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
Gone are the days of begging
The days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head to toe
And I can see the ground far below
I have this breath and I hold it tight
And I keep it in my chest with all my might
I pray to God this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips
As I
Gasp, gasp |
Oh, the river, oh, the river, its running free
And oh, the joy, oh, the joy it brings to me
But I know itll have to drown me
Before it can breathe easy
And Ive seen it in the flights of birds
Ive seen it in you
In the entrails of the animals
The blood running through
But in order to get to the heart of things
Sometimes, you have to cut through
But you can, you can
We can, we can
Just keep following the heartlines on your hand
Just keep following the heartlines on your hand
Keep it up, I know you can
Just keep following the heartlines on your hand
Cause I am
Odyssey on odyssey, and land over land
Creeping and crawling like the sea over sand
Still, I follow heartlines on your hand
And this fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone
Echoes of a city thats long overgrown
Your heart is the only place that I call home
Can I be returned?
You can, you can
We can
Just keep following the heartlines on your hand
Just keep following the heartlines on your hand
Keep it up, I know you can
Just keep following the heartlines on your hand
What a thing to do
Oh, whoa, what a thing to choose
But know, in some way, Im there with you
Up against the wall on a Wednesday afternoon
Just keep following the heartlines on your hand
Just keep following the heartlines on your hand
Keep it up, I know you can
Just keep following the heartlines on your hand
Cause I am |
All alone
It was always there you see
And even on my own
It was always standing next to me
I can see it coming from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?
Oh, I think Im breaking down again
Oh, I think Im breaking down
All alone
Even when I was a child
Ive always known
There was something to be frightened of
I can see you coming from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?
Oh, I think Im breaking down again
Oh, I think Im breaking down
All alone
On the edge of sleep
My old familiar friend
Comes and lies down next to me
And I can see you coming from the edge of the room
Smiling in the streetlight
Even with my eyes shut tight
I still see him coming now
Oh, I think Im breaking down again
Oh, I think Im breaking down again
Oh, I think Im breaking down again
Oh, I think Im breaking down |
My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
He doesnt build ships, he has no use for sails
He doesnt make tables, dressers or chairs
He cant carve a whistle because he just doesnt care
My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
Kings and queens, theyve all knocked on his door
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
They all come to him because hes so eager to please
My boy builds coffins, he makes them all day
But its not just for work and it isnt for play
Hes made one for himself
One for me too
One of these days hell make one for you
For you, for you, for you
My boy builds coffins for better or worse
Some say its a blessing, some say its a curse
He fits them together in sunshine or rain
Each one is unique, no two are the same
My boy builds coffins and I think its a shame
That when each ones been made, he cant see it again
He crafts everyone with love and with care
Then its thrown in the ground, it just isnt fair
My boy builds coffins, he makes them all day
But its not just for work and it isnt for play
Hes made one for himself
One for me too
And one of these days hell make one for you
For you, for you, for you |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I was looking for a breath of a life
For a little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh
To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the start and the end
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh
But I needed one more touch
Another taste of heavenly rush
And I believe, I believe its so, oh oh oh
And I needed one more touch
Another taste of divine rush
And I believe, I believe its so, oh oh oh
Whose side am I on? Whose side am I?
Whose side am I on? Whose side am I?
And the fever began to spread
From my heart down to my legs
But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh oh
And although I wasnt losing my mind
It was a chorus so sublime
But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh
I was looking for a breath of a life
For a little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh
To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the start and the end
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh
Its a harder way and its come to claim her
And I always say, we should be together
And I cant sleep alone, because theres something in here
And if you are gone, I will not belong here
And I started to hear it again
But this time it wasnt the end
And the room is so quiet, oh oh oh oh
And my heart is a hollow plain
For the devil to dance again
And the room is too quiet, oh oh oh oh
I was looking for a breath of a life
For a little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh |
Im not calling you a liar
Just dont lie to me
Im not calling you a thief
Just dont steal from me
Im not calling you a ghost
Just stop haunting me
And I love you so much
Im going to let you kill me
Theres a ghost in my lungs
And it sighs in my sleep
Wraps itself around my tongue
As it softly speaks
Then it walks, then it walks
With my legs
To fall, to fall
To fall, at your feet
Oh but for the grace of God go on
And when you kiss me Im happy enough to die
Im not calling you a liar
Just dont lie to me
And I love you so much
Im going to let you
Im not calling you a thief
Just stop—
And I love you so much
Im going to let you—
Im not calling you a ghost
Just stop—
Theres a ghost in my mouth
And it talks in my sleep
Wraps itself around my tongue
As it softly speaks
Then it walks, then it walks
Then it walks, with my legs
To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall
To fall, to fall—
To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall
To fall, to fall, at your feet
Oh but for the grace of God go on
And when you kiss me Im happy enough— |
Ive fallen out of favor
And Ive fallen from grace
Fallen out of trees
And Ive fallen on my face
Fallen out of taxis
Out of windows too
Fell in your opinion
When I fell in love with you
Oh-ooh, oh-oooooooh
Oh-ooh, oh-oooooooh
Sometimes I wish for falling
Wish for the release
Wish for falling through the air
To give me some relief
Because falling is not the problem
When Im falling Im at peace
Its only when I hit the ground
It causes all the grief
Oh-ooh, oh-oooooooh
Oh-ooh, oh-oooooooh
This is a song for a scribbled out name
And my love keeps writing again and again
This is a song for a scribbled out name
And my love keeps writing again and again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again and again and again
And again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
Ill dance myself up
Drunk myself down
Found people to love
Left people to drown
Im not scared to jump
Im not scared to fall
If there was nowhere to land
I wouldnt be scared
At all
At all
At all
At all
Fall
Fall
Sometimes I wish for falling
Wish for the release
Wish for falling through the air
To give me some relief
Because falling is not the problem
When Im falling Im at peace
Its only when I hit the ground
It causes all the grief |
Ive been losing sleep
Ive been keeping myself awake
Ive been wandering the streets
For days and days and days
Im going from road to road
Bed to bed
Lover to lover
And black to red
But I believe
I believe
Theres no salvation for me now
No space among the clouds
And I feel Im heading down
But thats alright
Thats alright
Thats alright
Thats alright
Thats alright
And Ive been taking chances
Ive been setting myself up for the fall
Ive been keeping secrets
From my heart and from my soul
Im going from road to road
Bed to bed
Lover to lover
And black to red
But I believe
I believe
Theres no salvation for me now
No space among the clouds
And I feel Im heading down
But thats alright
Thats alright
Thats alright
Thats alright
Road to road, bed to bed
And lover to lover and black to red
And road to road, bed to bed
And lover to lover
No space among the clouds
And I feel Im heading down
Thats alright
Thats alright
Thats alright
Thats alright
Thats alright
Thats alright
Road to road, bed to bed
And lover to lover and black to red
And road to road, bed to bed
Lover to lover, to lover, to lover, to lover, to lover, to lover, to lover, to lover, to lover, to lover, to lover
No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now |
No walls can keep me protected
No sleep, nothing in between me and the rain
And you cant save me now
Im in the grip of a hurricane
Im going to blow myself away
Im going out, Im going to drink myself to death
And in the crowd, I see you with someone else
I brace myself, because I know its going to hurt
But I like to think at least things cant get any worse
No home, I dont want shelter
No calm, nothing to keep me from the storm
And you cant hold me down
Because I belong to the hurricane
Its going to blow this all away
Im going out, Im going to drink myself to death
And in the crowd, I see you with someone else
I brace myself, because I know its going to hurt
But I like to think at least things cant get any worse
I hope that you see me, because Im staring at you
But when you look over, you look right through
Then you lean and kiss her on the head
And I never felt so alive, and so dead
Im going out, Im going to drink myself to death
And in the crowd, I see you with someone else
I brace myself, because I know its going to hurt
Im going out...
Im going out, Im going to drink myself to death
And in the crowd, I see you with someone else
I brace myself, because I know its going to hurt
Im going out
Im going out
Im going out
Im going out
Im going out |
Hydrogen in our veins, it cannot hold itself, our blood is burning
And the pressure in our bodies that echoes up above it is exploding
And our particles theyre burning up because they yearn for each other
And although we stick together, it seems that we are stranging one another
Feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love
See it on me, love, see it on me, love, see it on me, love
And atom to atom
Oh, can you feel it on me, love?
And a pattern to pattern
Oh, can you see it on me, love?
Atom to atom
Oh, whats the matter with me, love?
The static of your arms, it is the catalyst
Oh the chemical it burns, there is nothing but this
Its the purest element, but its so volatile
An equation heaven sent, a drug for angels
Strangeness and Charm
Feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love
See it on me, love, see it on me, love, see it on me, love
And atom to atom
Oh, can you feel it on me, love?
And a pattern to pattern
Oh, can you see it on me, love?
Atom to atom
Oh, whats the matter with me, love?
The static of your arms, it is the catalyst
Oh the chemical it burns, there is nothing but this
Its the purest element, but its so volatile
An equation heaven sent, a drug for angels
Strangeness and Charm
Strangeness and Charm
Hey— so cold!
Hey— so cold!
Hey— so cold!
Hey—
Strangeness and Charm
The static of your arms, it is the catalyst
Oh the chemical it burns, there is nothing but this
Its the purest element, but its so volatile
An equation heaven sent, a drug for angels
Feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love
See it on me, love, see it on me, love, see it on me, love
Feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love
See it on me, love, see it on me, love, see it on me, love
Ho, ho...
Down... down, down, down
Ho, ho...
Down... down, down, down
Ho, ho...
Down... down, down, down
Ho, ho...
Down... down, down, down
Ho! |
Im going to be released from behind these lines
And I dont care whether I live or die
And Im losing blood, Im gonna leave my bones
And I dont want your heart, it leaves me cold
I dont want your future
I dont need your past
One grand moment
Is all I ask
Im going to leave my body
Im going to lose my mind
Said Im going to leave my body
Im going to lose my mind
I dont need a husband, dont need no wife
And dont need the day, I dont need the night
And I dont need the birds, let them fly away
And I dont want the clouds, they never seem to stay
I dont want no future
I dont need no past
One grand moment
Is all I ask
I dont want your future
I dont need your past
One grand moment
Is all I ask, and I-
Im going to leave my body
Im going to lose my mind
Said Im going to leave my body
Im going to lose my, lose my mind
Pulling me down
Pulling me down
Pulling me down
Pulling me down
Im going to leave my body
Im going to lose my mind
Said Im going to leave my body
Im going to lose my mind
Im going to leave my body
Im going to lose my mind
Said Im going to leave my body
Im going to lose my mind |
In the celestial vaults
I drew bedraggled breaths
Because I am unloved
I went as far as I could get
And the cedars like spires
Wasting my goddamn time
Past the museum of death
And the mad man yelling answers
I sail on new beginnings
And psychics taking chances
And the cedars like spires
Wasting my goddamn time
As far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
And the cedars like spires
Wasting my goddamn time
Past the spires and the temple
Looking like a Disney castle
As far as I could get
Past the girls late for rehearsal
Oh, a pirate on the left
And Jesus on the right
And the Pacific sweeps through
Like a bird in flight
As far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
And the cedars like spires
Wasting my goddamn time
Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too
Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too
As far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
Past the city and the sermons
The cemetery standing still
Past the mountain and the monument
The houses and the hills
Past the signs and the sirens
The sinners and the saints
I went as far as I could get
Past the hallowed and the horror
The humbled and the greed
I went as far as I could get
Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too
As far as I could get
As far as I could get
As far as I could get
And Im not far enough yet
I went as far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
And Im not far enough yet
I went as far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
And Im not far enough yet
I went as far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
And Im not far enough yet |
My heart is like a haunted house
Theres things in there that scratch about
They make their music in the night
And in the day they give me such a fright
My heart is like a haunted house
Theres things in there that scream and shout
They make their music in the night
Wish I could find a way to let them out, oh
Do you remember winding your arm around my shoulder
As we wandered round the hill?
Now Im in that fog forever
In full collaboration with the weather cause
Im not free yet
Im not free yet
Im not free yet
Im not free yet
Im not free yet
Im not free yet
Im not free yet
Im not free yet
My heart is like a haunted house
Theres things in there that scratch about
They make their music in the night
And in the day they give me such a fright |
Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil
Shes born to be bad, so run for the hills
Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil
The fear on your face, it gives me a thrill
Who wants to be nice?
Who wants to be tame?
All of your good guys, they all seem the same
Original, criminal, dressed to kill
Just call me Cruella de Vil
Call me crazy, call me insane
But youre stuck in the past
And Im ahead of the game
A life lived in penance, it just seems a waste
And the devil has much better taste
And I tried to be sweet, I tried to be kind
But I feel much better now that Im out of my mind
Well, theres always a line at the gates of Hell
But I go right to the front cause I dress this well
Rip it up, leave it all in tatters
Beauty is the only thing that matters
The fabric of your little world is torn
Embrace the darkness and be reborn
Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil
The fear on your face, it gives me a thrill |
Everybody wants to be famous
Nobody wants to be nameless, aimless
People act shameless, tryna live like entertainers
Want a fat crib with the acres
So they spend money that they ain’t made yet
Got a Benz on tik that they ain’t paid yet
Spend their pay cheque in the West End on the weekend
Got no money by the end of the weekend
But they don’t care cause their life is a movie
Starring Louis V, paid for by yours truly
Truthfully, it’s a joke, like a bad episode of Hollyoaks
Can’t keep up with the cover notes
So they got bad credit, livin’ on direct debit in debt
They still don’t get it
Cause they too busy livin’ the high life, the night life
Huggin’ the high when livin’ it large and they all say
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it seems that life is just too much
But you’ve got the love I need to see me through
Check it, yo, let me take you down to London city
Where the attitude’s bad and the weather is–
Everybody’s on a paper chase, it’s one big rat race
Everybodys got a screw face, so many two-face
Checkin their high just like theyre ready to ride
I’m on the inside looking at the–
So it’s an accurate reflection
City wide, north, east, west and the south side
Everywhere, I go there’s a goon on the corner
Guns and drugs cause the city’s like a sauna
And it’s getting warmer, and out of order
Tryna put a struggling mother to a mourner
Mr. Politician, can you tell me the solution?
What’s the answer? What’s the conclusion?
Is it an illusion? Is it a mirage?
I see youngens die because they tryna live large
And they all say
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on all of you
Sometimes I feel like saying, “Lord I just don’t care”
But you’ve got the love I need to see me through
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
Yo, were living in the days of the credit crunch
Give me the dough, I’m tryna have a bunch
But I cant have rice for lunch
Its not there, aint enough to share
It aint fair, never dreamed that he could be rare
Who cares, who dares to make a change?
Everybodys in the club trying to make it rain
But not for famine, just for the sake of having
15 minutes of fame and everywhere’s the same
Again and again, I see the same thing
Everybody acting like they their plane sailin’
But I see rough seas ahead, maybe a recession
And then a depression in whatever profession
This is my confession, I can’t front, I’m in the forefront
Living for money, ready to start like a bungee jump
With no rope, but I ain’t tryna see the bottom
Because thats where I came from, I ain’t forgotten
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
Who’s got the love? Whos got the love?
Whos got the love? Come on
And again, cmon
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on all of you
Sometimes I feel like saying, “Lord I just don’t care
But you’ve got the love I need to see me through |
Ehh, oh ohh
Ehh, oh ohh
Ehh, oh ohh
Ehh, oh ohh
She cant see the landscape anymore
Its all painted in her grief
All of her history etched out at her feet
Now all of the landscape, its just an empty place
Acres of longing, mountains of tenderness
Cause shes just like the weather, cant hold her together
Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow
Because its burning through the bloodline
Its cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling, in between you and me
She wants the silence, but fears the solitude
She wants to be alone and together with you
So she ran to the lighthouse, hoped that it would help her see
She saw that the lighthouse had been washed out to sea
Cause shes just like the weather, cant hold her together
Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow
Because its burning through the bloodline
Its cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling, in between you and me
I want to give you back the open sky
Give you back the open sea
Open up the ages, darling, for you to see
You put the gun into your mouth to bite
The bullet and spit it out
Because its running in the family
All the rituals between you and me
Cause shes just like the weather, cant hold her together
Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow
Because its burning through the bloodline
Its cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling, in between you and me |
I had a dream that I met you blessed When I look at you, and I feel your staring face, I never close my eyes. And every creature I see reminds me of you. That kind of thinking So, I look outside, and I can see the stars and it reminds me my negativity
And everywhere I go, I see your face, and I hear voices, and it reminds me of you
Oh
I will be
So, I keep climbing
I will be
I will be
I will be
And silence will not cover me
I will be
I will be
Send off a message from us
And silence will not cover me
I will be
I will be
I will be
I will be
And silence will not cover me
And silence will not cover me
I will be
I will be
And silence will not cover me
I will be
I will be
And silence will not cover me
I will be
I will be
And silence will not cover me
I will be
I will be
I will be
I was meant to be
I will be
And silence will not cover me
And silence will not cover me
And silence will not cover me
I will be
I will be
I will be
I will be |
I tried to control my shaking
With just one sound
I tried to warm the ocean
By writing it down
I tried to tame my nightmare
Line by line
If I write a song about you
Does that make you mine?
The conductor caught in slow motion
The orchestra plays on
Over and over; the same motion
This work is never done
The only thing thats certain
Is your indecision
I guess it must be working
Cause you hit me with such precision
Now the strings are breaking
Their fingers run with blood
But they keep on playing
The cycle never stops
Whos in control?
Whos playing who?
She wants to be amongst them
Conducting them too
She knows the song wont save her
But what else can she do?
She weeps just like a willow
Shes playing for you
Shes fragile and shes ferocious
As the current flows through
Shes a conductor caught in slow motion
The orchestra plays on
Over and over; the same motion
This work is never done
Now here comes the crescendo
The music starts to swell
And now its so ecstatic
I know this part so well
And then it goes staccato
The notes were flying up
Higher and higher
But they never reach the top
Whos in control?
Whos playing who?
Whos in control?
Whos playing who?
I am the orchestra
The conductor too
My heart is a concert hall
And I filled it with you |
There is love in your body but you cant hold it in
It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin
Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks
And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
There is love in your body but you cant get it out
It gets stuck in your head, wont come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face
That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But youll never know what a fool Ive been
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But thats no excuse for the state Im in
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
There is love in our bodies and it holds us together
But pulls us apart when were holding each other
We all need something to hold in the night
We dont care if it hurts when were holding too tight
There is love in your body but you cant get it out
It gets stuck in your head, wont come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face
That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But youll never know what a fool Ive been
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But thats no excuse for the state Im in
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
My heart swells like the water in waves
Cant stop myself before its too late
Hold on to your heart
Because Im coming to take it
Hold on to your heart
Because Im coming to break it
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts |
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Dragged further away from the shore
And deeper into the drink
Sat on the bottom of the ocean
A stern and stubborn rock
Your songs remind me of swimming
But somehow I forgot
I was sinking, and now Im sunk
I was drinking, and now Im drunk
Your songs remind me of swimming
But somehow I forgot
I tried to remember the chorus
I cant remember the verse
Cause that song that sent me a swimming
Is now the life jacket that burst
Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor
Sinkin like a siren that cant swim any more
Your songs remind me of swimming
But I cant swim anymore
Pull me out the water, cold and blue
I open my eyes and see that its you
So Ill dive straight back in the ocean
Yes Ill dive straight back in the ocean
Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
Then cross my fingers
And hope for the best
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note
It started in my chest, and ended in my throat, oh
Then I realised
Then I realised
Then I realised
I was swimming
Yes, I was swimming
And now Im swimming
Yes, I am swimming
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Oh, your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started
To sink |
I was born in a big grey cloud
Screaming out a love song
All the broken chords and unnamed cries
What a place to come from
I wish to remain nameless
And live without shame
Cause whats in a name, boy?
I still remain the same
You can call it what you want
You can call me anything you want
You can call us what you want
You can call me anything you want
Everybody lets you down
What you want? What you want?
In this brief hole of a town
All the different souls rushing out
What you want? What you want?
Tell me what youre running from
I know everybody lets you down
And Ill do the same
Ill do the same
But know Ill always be around
This can remain the same
What you want? What you want?
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me, call me when you need me
Call me anything you want
Call me when you need me, call me when you need me
Darling believe me
Darling believe me, darling believe me
Nothing I havent done before
Darling believe me, darling believe me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Darling believe me
Darling believe me
Darling believe me
Darling believe me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
I wish to remain nameless
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Darling believe me
Darling believe me
I wish to remain nameless
Call me when you need me
Darling believe me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Darling believe me
Believe me
Darling believe me
Darling believe me
Darling believe me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Darling believe me
Believe me
Darling believe me
Call me when you need me
Darling believe me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me |
I love you all the time
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, ah
Im never alone, I look at my phone
If I call you up, youre never at home
I love you all the time
Im fueled up and high, Im out with the guys
A smile on my face, no reason to cry
I love you all the time
I can tell by that look in your eye
Youre looking and all you sees another guy
I can tell youre going to take your love away
I can tell by that look in your eye
Youre looking and all you sees another guy
I would beg you if I thought it would make you stay
Ce soir c’est le soir
Et toi avec moi
Et tu viens me voir
Tu viens, oh la la
I love you all the time
Tu ne réponds pas
Ah dites-moi pourquoi
Just say au revoir
Again me voilà
I love you all the time
And I can tell by that look in your eye
Youre looking and all you sees another guy
I can tell youre going to take your love away
I can tell by that look in your eye
Youre looking and all you sees another guy
I would beg if I thought it would make you stay
I would beg if I thought it would make you stay
I would beg if I thought it would make you stay
Ah dites-moi pourquoi
Ah dites-moi pourquoi
Ah dites-moi pourquoi |
Hey, look up
Don’t make a spectre of yourself living in that ghoulish light
You are a slave to your own creation
Look up, look up, the spell is broken
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
But Im the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
Cause theres a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And every touch, it magnifies
You pull away; you dont know why
Hey, look up
You dont have to be a ghost here amongst the living
You are flesh and blood
And you deserve to be loved, and you deserve what you are given
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
But Im the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
Im the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
Cause theres a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And every touch, it magnifies
You pull away; you dont know why
And your face is a disguise
But I can see you with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away; you dont know why
Cause your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you
Cause theres a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And every touch, it magnifies
You pull away; you dont know why
And your face is a disguise
But I can see you with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away; you dont know why
Cause your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you |
Know you’ve been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here’s what I’ll do
I’ll take care of you
Because I’ve loved and I’ve lost
I’ve asked about you and they told me things
But my mind didn’t change and I still feel the same
A life with no fun, please don’t be so ashamed
I’ve had mine, you’ve had yours, we both know
We know, they don’t get you like I will
My only wish is I die real
Because that truth hurts, and those lies heal
And you can’t sleep thinking that he lies still
So you cry still, tears all in the pillow case
Big girls all get a little taste
Pushing me away so I give her space
Dealing with a heart that I didn’t break
I’ll be there for you, I will care for you
I keep thinking you just don’t know
Trying to run with that, say you’re done with that
On your face girl, it just don’t show
When you’re ready, just say you’re ready
When all the baggage just ain’t as heavy
And the parties over, just don’t forget me
We’ll change the pace and well just go slow
You won’t ever have to worry
You won’t ever have to hide
Youve seen all my mistakes
So look me in my eyes
Know you’ve been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here’s what I’ll do
I’ll take care of you
Because I’ve loved and I’ve lost
It’s my birthday, Ill get high if I want to
Can’t deny that I want you, but Ill lie if I have to
Because you don’t say you love me
To your friends when they ask you
Even though we both know that you do
One time, been in love one time
You and all your girls in the club one time
All so convinced that you’re following your heart
Because your mind don’t control what it does sometimes
We all have our nights though, don’t be so ashamed
I’ve had mine, you’ve had yours, we both know
We know
Know you’ve been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here’s what I’ll do
I’ll take care of you
Because I’ve loved and I’ve lost
Ive loved and Ive lost
Ive loved and Ive lost
Ive loved and Ive lost |
Are you hurting the one you love?
You say youve found Heaven, but you cant find God
Are you hurting the one you love?
Bite your tongue until it tastes like blood
Are you hurting the one you love?
So many glasses on the tabletop
Are you hurting the one you love?
Youd like to stay in heaven but the rules are too tough
Tough
Its just too tough
Tough
Its just too tough
Are you hurting the one you love?
When they watched the walls, and the ticking clock
Are you hurting the one you love?
And was it something you could not stop
Could not stop
Stop
Could not stop
Stop
Could not stop
Stop
Could not stop
Stop
Could not stop
Are you hurting the one you love?
When you leave them sleeping on the hollow ground
Are you hurting the one you love?
And lost for themselves
Are you hurting the one you love?
And if heaven knows, then who will stop
Are you hurting the one you love?
You said you got to heaven, but it wasnt enough |
The lights are on, but youre not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is all it takes
You cant sleep, you cant eat
Theres no doubt, youre in deep
Your throat is tight, you cant breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh yeah
Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough
Youre gonna to have to face it, youre addicted to love
See the signs, but you cant read
Youre running at a different speed
Your heart beats, double time
Another kiss and youll be mine
A one-track mind, you cant be saved
Cause baby a love is all you crave
If theres some left, left for you
Then you dont mind if you do
Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh yeah
Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough
Youre gonna to have to face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Ther lights are on, but youre not home
Your will is not your own
Your heart sweats your teeth grind
Another kiss and youll be mine
Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh yeah
Its closer to the truth to say you cant getou know youre gonna have to face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love |
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, youll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now shes in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Theres nothing to do here
All just lie and complain
In bed at the hospital
Coming and going
Asleep and awake
In bed at the hospital
Ive got one friend
Laying across from me
I did not choose him
He did not choose me
We have no chance
Of recovering
Laying in hospitals
Joy and misery
Joy and misery
Joy and misery
Put out the fire boys
Dont stop, dont stop
Put out the fire on us
Put out the fire boys
Dont stop, dont stop
Put out the fire on us
Bring your buckets by the dozen
Bring your nieces and your cousins

When we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colours on our skin
We were light and paper thin
And when we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colours on our skin
Till we let the spectrum in
Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And well never be afraid again
Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And wel never be afraid again
Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And well never be afraid again
And when we come for you
Well be dressed up all in blue
With the ocean in our arms
Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms
And when its time to pray
Well be dressed up all in grey
With metal on our tongues
And silver in our lungs
Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And well never be afraid again
Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And well never be afraid again
Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And well never be afraid again
So, say my name

Im not calling you a liar, just dont lie to me
Im not calling you a thief, just dont steal from me
Im not calling you a ghost, just stop haunting me
And I love you so much, Im going to let you kill me
Theres a ghost in my lungs and it sighs in my sleep
Wraps itself around my chest as it softly weeps
And it walks, and it walks with my legs
To fall, to fall, to fall at your feet
There but for the grace of God, go I
And when you kiss me, I am happy enough to die
Im not calling you a liar, just dont lie to me
And I love you so much, Im gonna let you
Im not calling you a thief, just dont
And I love you so much, Im gonna let you
Im not calling you a ghost, just stop
Theres a ghost in my lungs and it sighs in my sleep
Wraps itself around my chest as it softly weeps
And it walks, and it walks, and it walks with my legs
To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall
To fall, to fall
There but for the grace of God, go I
And when you kiss me, I am happy enough to die |
When your life is over
I wont be sad or blue
Ill put on my fancy hat
Lie down next to you
Ill kiss you once for life
Ill kiss you twice for death
Hold you close for comfort
Wearing my best dress
You look so angry when you sleep
Your face a troubled frown
So I will smooth your furrowed brow
As I lay you in the ground
Ill kiss you once for life
Ill kiss you twice for death
Hold you close for comfort
Wearing my best dress
And as the mourners pass me
I will smile and wave
Thank them for their sympathy
And tell them Ill be brave
But once the wake is over
And Im drunk and feeling fine
Ill go out there and find me
Another boy to pass the time
As were dancing cheek to cheek
And the lights are laid low
Ill request this song for you
Laying in the ground below
Once the song is over
And its time to go to bed
Ill leave him on the dance floor
And return to you instead
Ill kiss you once for life
Ill kiss you twice for death
Hold you close for comfort
Wearing my best dress |
Little donkey on my shoulder
And a jackal on my back
Ill carry these, my children
Keep them safe from attack
The donkey makes it hard to dance, the jackal sings too loud
The donkey cries when its alone, and the jackal is too proud
Little donkey is getting restless
Getting heavier as it grows
And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful
Keeps biting at my nose
I would have a lover
A husband, and a child
But the donkey is too jealous
And the jackal is too wild
Is too wild
You ask me why I keep them
Why I love them so
Why they get away with murder
As they grow and grow and grow, oh
I keep them cause I made them
They come from in my heart
With each mistake I make
Created, and torn apart
And when its time to feed them
Before they go to bed
I give them my confessions
Baked within their bread
Little donkey is getting restless
Getting heavier as it grows
And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful
Keeps biting at my nose
Little donkey is getting restless
Getting heavier as it grows
And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful
Keeps biting at my nose |
I, Im a one-way motorway
Im a road that drives away and follows you back home
I, Im a street light shining
Im a white light blinding bright and burning off and on
Uh huh uh
Its times like these you learn to live again
Its times like these you give and give again
Its times like these you learn to love again
Its times like these, time and time again
I, Im a new day rising
Im a brand new sky to hang the stars upon tonight
I, Im a little divided
Do I stay or run away and leave it all behind?
Uh huh uh
Its times like these you learn to live again
Its times like these you give and give again
Its times like these you learn to love again
Its times like these, time and time again
Ooh...

Uh huh uh
Its times like these you learn to live again
Its times like these you give and give again
Its times like these you learn to love again
Its times like these, time and time again
Its times like these you learn to live again
Its times like these you give and give again
Its times like these you learn to love again
Its times like these, time and time again |
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn
And Ive been a fool and Ive been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
Im always dragging that horse around
All of his questions, such a mournful sound-sound
Tonight Im gonna bury that horse in the ground-ground
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
But its always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off
Shake it out, shake it out
And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight Im gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off
Shake it out, shake it out
Its hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance, would I take any of it back
Its a fine romance but its left me so undone
Its always darkest before the dawn
And Im damned if I do and Im damned if I dont
So heres to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And Im ready to suffer and Im ready to hope
Its a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well, what the hell, Im gonna let it happen to me
Yeah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out,
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out |
The times we had
Oh when the wind would blow with rain and snow
Were not all bad
We put our feet just where they had, had to go
Never to go, oh
The shattered soul
Following close but nearly twice as slow
In my good times
There were always golden rocks to throw
At those who admit defeat too late
Those were our times, those were our times, woah
And I will love to see that day
That day was mine
When she will marry me outside by the willow tree
And play the songs we made
They made me so
And I would love to see that day
Her day was mine |
Between a crucifix and the Hollywood sign, we decided to get hurt
Now theres a few things we have to burn
Set our hearts ablaze, and every city was a gift
And every skyline was like a kiss upon the lips
And every city was a gift
And every skyline
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how beautiful
And meanwhile a man was falling from space
And every day I wore your face
Like an atmosphere around me
The satellite beside me
And meanwhile a man was falling from space
And every day I wore your face
Like an atmosphere around me
The satellite beside me
What are we gonna do?
We opened the door, now its all coming through
What are we gonna do?
We opened the door, now its all coming through
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how...
And every city was a gift
Every skyline like a kiss upon the lips
And every city was a gift
Every skyline like a kiss upon the lips
And meanwhile a man was falling from space
And every day I wore your face
Like an atmosphere around me
The satellite beside me
So much time on the other side
Waiting for you to wake up
So much time on the other side
Waiting for you to wake up
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how...
And every city was a gift
And every skyline was like a kiss upon the lips
And every city was a gift
And every skyline
And meanwhile a man was falling from space
And every day I wore your face
Like an atmosphere around me
Im happy youre beside me
And every city was a gift
Every skyline like a kiss upon the lips
And every city was a gift
And every skyline like a kiss upon the lips
Big! Blue! Beautiful!
Big! Blue! Beautiful! |
Ooh she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she get weary
Try a little tenderness
You know shes waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that shell never, never, never possess
But while shes waiting
Try a little tenderness
Its not sentimental, no, no, no
She has - her greaves and care
But the soft words they are spoken so gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You wont regret it, no
Young girls they dont forget it
Love is their whole happiness
But its all so easy
All you gotta do is try
All you gotta do is
Squeeze her
Dont tease her
Never leave her
Try a little tenderness
Dont leave her, no, no
Try a little tenderness |
Were paper dolls, all joined together
Walking arm in arm
But each float like feathers
Shaken by the storm
Then everybody started tearing up when they pulled apart
Everyone had broken arms and legs and broken hearts
Everybody started tearing up and they pulled apart
Everyone had broken arms and legs and broken hearts
Like paper chains
Paper dolls gonna let me die by knife
We stand in the line, hold on to life
We hate that we the blinding light |
You could be my silver spring
Blue-green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
Your shining autumn ocean crashing
Dont say that shes pretty?
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I dont want to know
So I begin not to love you
Turn around, see me running
I say I loved you years ago
But tell myself you never loved me, no
Dont say that shes pretty?
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I dont want to know
Oh no, and can you tell me was it worth it?
Baby, I dont want to know
Time cast a spell on you
But you wont forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me
Time cast a spell on you
But you wont forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me
Ill follow you down until the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
And youll never get away from the sound
Of the woman that loved you
Give me just a chance
And Ill follow you down until the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
Have I been a fool
And youll never get away from the sound
Of the woman that loved you
Give me just a chance
And Ill follow you down until the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
Have I been a fool
And youll never get away from the sound
Of the woman that loved you
Give me just a chance
And Ill follow you down until the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
Have I been a fool
And youll never get away from the sound
Of the woman that loved you
You could be my silver spring
Blue-green colors flashing |
Old hope
Got stuck in your throat
Wound its way around your neck
And caused you to choke
Old hope
Made of rope
That held you tight when the chair legs broke
When they found you hanging in the wood
You said at least now I dont have to be kind or good
Ill be cruel and Ill be obscene
Tear out my tongue
Cause Ive been redeemed
When they found you hanging in the wood
You said at least now I dont have to be kind or good
Ill be cruel and Ill be obscene
Tear out my tongue
Cause Ive been redeemed
Save my blushes for the grave
No shy glance, no coy restraint
And I wont hang my head
And I wont repent
Wont face the wall and count to ten
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Well they tore you down
And they tore out your tongue
And they made you kneel
For all the things that youd done
But you wouldnt cry
And you wouldt beg
You just grinned
And tore out your teeth instead
When they found you hanging in the wood
You said at least now I dont have to be kind or good
Ill be cruel and Ill be obscene
Tear out my tongue
Cause Ive been redeemed
I dont have to sit down and behave
Cause my darling Ive been saved |
We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
Weve been talkin bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out
Im goin to Jackson, Im gonna mess around
Yeah, Im goin to Jackson
Look out, Jackson town
Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health
Go play your hand, you big-talkin man, and make a big fool of yourself

All them women gonna make me teach em what they dont know how

But theyll laugh at you in Jackson, and Ill be dancin on a pony keg

And Ill be waitin in Jackson, behind my Jaypan fan

We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
And weve been talkin bout Jackson, ever since the fire went
Ever since the fire went
Ever since the fire went |
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying Lord I just dont care
But youve got the love I need to see me through
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it feels like life is just too much

Guess its true, Im not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love cause Im just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I dont want you to leave, will you hold my hand
Oh, wont you stay with me

I built a man made out of bricks, and lived inside his chest
I beat my head against the wall to make a heart beat in his breast
I smashed my fist against his ribs to suck the air inside
And swing by swing, and blow by blow, I brought that man to life
I built a man and cut his skin, and lived inside his heart
I pumped it with my fingertips, and loved it from the start
And with every beat I gave him a heartbeat of my own
And I filled his veins with the blood I had
Till his blood
Till his blood
Till his blood
Was my own
Oh, Id build you up, but were not made of the same stuff
And even though I knocked you down, youre so much stronger than me
Well, I would build you up, but were not made of the same stuff
And even though I knocked you down, youre so much stronger than me |
Im not calling you a liar
Just dont lie to me
Im not calling you a thief
Just dont steal from me
Im not calling you a ghost
Just stop haunting me
I love you so much
That Im going to let you kill me
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Im too tired to fight
Im just going to lay right here
But Im too angry to sleep
Without you near
Im not at home with myself
But Im not at home with you either
Im too scared to leave
But I never seem safe here
Theres a ghost in my lungs
And it sighs in my sleep
Wraps itself around my chest
As it softly speaks
Then it walks with my legs, with my legs
To fall at your feet
Theres a ghost in my lungs
And it talks in my sleep
Wraps itself around my chest
As it softly speaks
Then it walks with my legs, with my legs
To fall at your feet
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Im not calling you a liar
Just dont lie to me
And I love you so much
That Im going to let you kill me |
Drifting through the halls with the sunrise
Holding on for your call
Climbing up the walls for that flashing light
That I can never let go
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Holding on for your call
Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
Now the Sun is up and Im going blind
Holding on for your call
Another drink just to pass the time
I can never say no
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Holding on for your call
And Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
Now Im dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
Holding on for your call
A different kind of danger in the daylight
I can never let go
Took anything to cut you, I can find
Holding on for your call
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
But cant you let me know?
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around
Its a different kind of danger
Too fast for freedom
And the bells are ringing out
Sometimes it all falls down
And Im calling for my mother
These chains never leave me
As I pull the pillars down
I keep dragging them around
Its a different kind of danger
Too fast for freedom
And my feet are spinning around
Sometimes it all falls down
Never knew I was a dancer
These chains never leave me
Til Delilah showed me how
I keep dragging them around
Now its one more boy and its one more lie
Holding onto your call
Taking the pills just to pass the time
I can never say no
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
Now Im dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
Holding on for your call
A different kind of danger in the daylight
I can never let go
Took anything to cut you, I can find
Holding on for your call
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
But cant you let me know?
Im strung up, Im strung out for your love
Hanging and hung up, its so rough
Im wrung and ringing out
Why cant you let me know?
Im strung up, Im strung out for your love
Hanging and hung up, its so rough
Im wrung and ringing out
Why cant you let me know?
Its a different kind of danger
Too fast for freedom
And the bells are ringing out
Sometimes it all falls down
And Im calling for my mother
These chains never leave me
As I pull the pillars down
I keep dragging them around
Its a different kind of danger
Too fast for freedom
And my feet are spinning around
Sometimes it all falls down
Never knew I was a dancer
These chains never leave me
Til Delilah showed me how
I keep dragging them around
Now Im dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
Too fast for freedom
Holding on for your call
A different kind of danger in the daylight
Too fast for freedom
I can never let go
Took anything to cut you, I can find
Too fast for freedom
Holding on for your call
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
Too fast for freedom
But cant you let me know?
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around |

How to use
How to load this dataset directly with the datasets library:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("huggingartists/florence-the-machine")
Dataset Structure
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
This example was too long and was cropped:
{
"text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}
Data Fields
The data fields are the same among all splits.

Data Splits
| train | validation | test |
|---|---|---|
| 173 | - | - |
'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:
from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np
datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/florence-the-machine")
train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03
train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])
datasets = DatasetDict(
{
'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
}
)
