Youre gone as suddenly as you came to me Like nightfall followed dawn without a day between Youre gone and suddenly I cant see Im in the shadow of you Im in the shadow of you I can see you in my minds rose-tinted eye Somewhere youre drifting by Your heels rolling sparks on the lucky street While here am I, left behind Stunned and blind But I can see you from here I can see you so clear You are the light You are the light You have the day I have the night But we have the early hours together Youre gone and heaven cries A thunderstorm breaks from the northern sky Chasing you back to the daily grind Youre gone, and where am I? A haunted life The ghost of your laughter The half-empty glass The half-empty glass And I wait til midnight tolls Two souls almost touching in the dark Ill be alright You are the light You are the light You have the day I have the night But we have the early hours We have the early hours We have the early hours together

The Remainers remain in their homely places Go home, wash their faces, lay down their heads As the Leavers take with them their lonely craziness Our fast-moving laughter Our fast-moving beds And our hearts slowly lose focus Like gypsies at fairs We will meet someone new somewhere else

How long can you stand Tightening up Avoiding the fight Avoiding the truth Tighten the smile Tighten the lie Will you get what you want To be cursed with your dreams I hope for your sake Something gets in the way How long can you stand Living under the lens The kiss of success The ensuing, all consuming, mess Message of love They arrive everyday People you touch Wasting away People you dont know Give you no choice And youre sick to your stomach At the sound of your voice And the shape of your face And the sound of your name They send you pictures of yourself Its someone you dont know And they call you a genius Cause youre easier to sell But the fire in your belly That gave you the songs Is suddenly gone And you feel like a fake Is that what you want? I hope for your sake Youve got what it takes Youve got what it takes To be spoilt to death

What do you do when your roots have dissolved and broken down And the soil that you grew in when you were small Has become nothing more than dirt in some dirty town When you list all the qualities that you despise And you realize Youre describing yourself And breakin someone up inside Is your only source of pride

We saw the crash on the news today …oh boy It changed our lives But did it really happen? Flyin high in a scary sky Flyin high in a scary sky Whats going on? Whats going on? Whats going on? I dont know if I can believe the news I dont know if I can believe the news They can do anything these days They can do anything with computers these days

Therell come a time when all of this is over Something else will grow and take its place The brand new car:scrap metal in a junkyard The children playing will grow up and leave home Put it away this dream you cant stop dreaming Put it away this anger and desire The open road is infinitely hopeful Take all those memories and throw them in the fire And dont hurt yourself Dont hurt yourself Dont hurt yourself anymore Theres old man on a warm and sunny island No job, no money, just a smile to call his own Know what he says?. The past will only haunt you Live for today. Each days an open door Dont hurt yourself Dont hurt yourself Dont hurt yourself anymore? Nothing to lose is nothing to fight over The shining stars! Theyve seen it all before Dont hurt yourself Dont hurt yourself Dont hurt yourself anymore Dust keeps coming. Rust keeps coming Weeds keep growing. Seeds keep growing Where you going?

There are scars in our eyes From a thousand goodbyes That was great You can write But I wont reply You know we are the Leavers - I’ll tell you a secret… Its better to leave us alone Its been terrific to know you But we really cant stay Tomorrows new country Calls us home …for the day

You give up hope You settle down With your favourite soap... Now wash your hands

A hundred nights of fun and games A thousand empty glasses I feel it change And stay the same As each day passes They invite me to their gatherings In the finer parts of town They seem attracted to my indifference The irony just knocks me out And I love them as if I love them And they reciprocate with help But I look up at these mirrors sometimes And I cant see myself They say that some are born to burn And some are born to give They say that people live and learn Some people only live and live You dont know that I come here But if you did, you would know why So we close our eyes You didnt notice me As I passed you on the stairs How could you ever guess Looking at my face How closely I share your taste How well I know your place Even the clothes you wear Ive seen them when youre not there You say that you can win win win If you know how to play the game But while youre out there playing you see Theres something you should know She spends your money She spends your money on me

Saw you walking on your velvet lawn Is it lonely on the moon? You took a dive and swallowed all you could Did you drink too much too soon? Nothing left for you to fight about And no-one wants to see you try The nearest neighbours are a mile away Does the ocean hear you cry? Punching at the sky They say the King is losin his grip again They said youre bullet proof, they said you feel no pain It seems the hero is misunderstood again Is it love or is it surgery Makes he seem so ill at ease As shes begging you to please calm down In her silk Armani on her knees Did you carry out those threats I heard Or were you only playing macho? And the stains on her Versace scarf Were they really just Gazpacho? They say the King is watching his back again They say the King is losing his grip again Raging like a bull to an empty ring Dyou think they will forgive a hero anything? Now the ring is just a band of gold And your wife needs police protection While youre sparring with the journalists Youre trying to win back her affection Is this what it means to be a man boxing up all your emotion So now shes gone and youre alone at last You can tell it to the ocean They say the King is losing his grip again They say the King is countin his numbered days You never lost a fight in your whole life You never had no trouble sleepin through the night The bottle and the doctor get you through the day The boys who run the housell make it all OK You think they will forgive a hero anything Maybe Hollywood... but maybe then again... Now the ring is just a band of gold... Drive the road...

Theres a hot hard hurt Burning under her skin And it pricks her like thorns And its needles and pins And it twists in her body And I know what it is And Im paying in pain But its the cost of the high Till the weight of the secret And the weight of the lie Makes my heart want to burst Feel the ache as time goes by Getting better and worse Getting better and worse And theres a screw that I tighten As I dream of the kiss And it twists and it cuts me And you know what it is? Its a fragment of love From a splintering heart And it tears her apart But not as much as this So you save up your tears For the moments alone Till the splinters you gather Leave you glass-hard and numb And the same sun is shining On the old and the young On the saints and the sinners On the weak and the strong And theres a burning and freezing And a cross for a kiss So she learns to stop dreaming And you know how it is With these fragments of love And this splintering heart With the fragments And this splintering heart

Theres a line on her jeans, that a ballpoint made From a careless mistake, that she cant wash away And theres a heart on her sleeve, from a spill of red wine Theres a piece of green in the blue of her eyes She named it after me Theres a stay dog she feeds, that she found in the street And he loves her to hold him, but he wont let her keep him And he claws at the door to be let out at night And she makes do without him, and she worries about him She named him after me So if you ever decide, that you have to escape And travel the world, and you cant find a place Well, you could wind up believin That paradise is nothin more than a feelin That goes on in your mind So if you ever find out what that is Theres somethin you could do Cause if I ever hold that golden dream again I want to tell you Im gonna name it after you

As you lie there on your bed Beneath the face of Louise Brooks With your makeup and your teddy bear And your C. S. Lewis books Bad seed Youre a bad seed Youre a decadent in chrysalis Waiting sleepily to emerge When youll visit every seedy need Of your random obsessive urge All the ruses that you use All the food that you refuse All the dust and tired air that feeds interior lulus All the poisoned attitudes And the lust for the unknown And the second best that devils use To make this world their own Interior lulu Interior lulu Every rainy day by e-mail As you lie there on your bed Another virtual page arrives There will be times when you remember me Of the chapters youll be writing As the voices echo in your head In the book called wasted lives As you read Henry and Anaïs All the lost weekends and booze All the finger-and-thumb screws All the sleepless worn out blues that bruise interior lulus Interior lulu Interior lulu Use the anger Paint a picture of it Throw the colours Use the pain, use the pain Scream back a brand new emotion As it runs across the skin Fire across paper Burn and curl, burn and curl You thought you couldnt feel like this But its happening again and youre waking up in pain Tattooed in that private place Microsoft and tears Intimately pierced Discovering and remembering You felt like this somewhere before Stirrin up the bed of the river Somewhere you dont like to go You wrote this down so many times But you get up anyway and you write it down again Youve bored us all to death with this Well who you gonna tell When youve nothing left to sell She says shes lonely She says she knows me But shes a one-way street She told me what I already know If you can carry it out you can take it away If you can carry it out you can take it away If you can buy it, it can be bought If you can buy it, it can be stolen If you can break it Its already broken Lately, I can stand to hear other people talking So many empty conversations What a waste of lips Lately I can stand to stand on primrose hill Look down upon the city A heart pumping the roads In our racing stripes We rejoice at being connected Without touching Thank God for the internet We stare at our screens All our lives What a waste of eyes till the electrical storm blows our fuses And we gaze, dumbfounded, at the rain All the trust and tired care Left to rust and go nowhere All this gold beneath my skin Sparklin like sin somewhere within In so deep In so deep that I cant sleep for these interior lu lu lu lu lus

Such a pretty girl The anger didnt hide it You shaved your head, pulled a face Dressed yourself up without grace It didnt hide a lifetimes damage It didnt hide a lifetimes fears Against your better judgement You put your whole self up for sale The horror show when you were young We couldnt wait to hear about it But even whores Dont kiss with tongues Nonetheless I do believe You cry real tears Real tears for sale Real tears for sale Real tears for sale Real tears for sale The wrong side of a lifetimes drinking Its where it seems Im coming from I took my demons by the hand Bent them, twisted them Until they scanned and rhymed And I took your love And all the hurt inside Laid it out on the market stall Agony at a knockdown price Reduced to clear is what I cry The wrong side of a lifetimes wishful thinking Dragged me here to pills and ale Come and listen Come and listen to my tale Come and get it Real tears for sale Real tears for sale Real tears for sale Real tears for sale All the hurt All the secrets All the damage All the shame All the dirty absolutions All the rage All the rage All the rage

Midnight suns bid moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk Mountains echo, curfews bell, signal ending tasks They place their faith in oaken doors, cower in candlelight The panic seeps through bloodstained floors as Grendel stalks the night Earth rim walker seeks his meals Prepare the funeral pyres The shapers songs no longer heal the fear Within their eyes, their eyes Wooden figures, pagan gods, stare blindly cross the sea Appeal for help from ocean fogs, for saviors born of dreams They know their lives are forfeit now, priestly heads they bow in shame They cannot face the trembling crowd that flinch in Grendels name Earth rim walker seeks his meals Prepare the funeral pyres The shapers songs no longer heal the fear Within their eyes, their eyes Their eyes, their eyes, their eyes As Grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgars hall so clear He knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify His claws will drip with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the sky As Grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgars hall so clear He knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify His claws will drip with mortal blood, as moonbeams haunt the sky Earth rim walker seeks his meals Prepare the funeral pyres The shapers songs no longer heal the fear Within their hearts, within their hearts Within their hearts, within their eyes Silken membranes span his path, fingerprints in dew Denizens of twilight lands humbly beg him through Mother natures bastard child, shunned by leaf and stream An alien in an alien land, seeks solace within dreams The shapers lies his poisoned tongue malign with mocking harp Beguiling queen, her innocence offends his icy heart Hounds freeze in silence bewitched by the reptile spell Sulfurous essence pervades round the grassy dell Heorot awaits him like lamb to the butchers knife Stellular heavens ignore even childrens cries Screams are his music, lightning his guide Raping the darkness, death by his side Chants rise in terror, free round the oaken beams Flickering firelight portraying the grisly scene Warriors advance, prepare for the nightmare foe Futile their sacrifice as even their hearts must know Heroes delusions with feet in the grave Lurker at the threshold He cares not for the brave He cares not for the brave So you thought that your bolts and your locks would keep me out You should have known better after all this time Youre gonna pay in blood for all your vicious slander With your ugly pale skins and your putrid blue eyes Why should I feel pity when you kill your own and feel no shame? Gods on my side, sure as hell, Im gonna take no blame Im gonna take no blame, Im goin to take no blame So you say you believe in all of mother natures laws You lust for gold with your sharpened knives Ooh, when your hoards are gathered and your enemies left to rot You pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of your pagan gods Then you try to place the killers blade in my hand You call for justice and distort the truth Well, Ive had enough of all your pretty, pretty speeches Receive your punishment, expose your throats to my righteous claws And let the blood flow, and let the blood flow, and let the blood flow And let the blood flow, and let the blood flow Let the blood flow, let the blood flow Let the blood flow, let the blood flow, let the blood flow, flow, flow Let the blood flow, let the blood flow Let the blood flow, let the blood flow, flow, flow Let the blood, let the blood, let the blood Let the blood, let the blood, let the blood Let the blood, let the blood, let the blood Flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow

One day Ill play you sounds that cant be made Theyll sing in you from somewhere inside your head Youll never hear them from the earth or the air Youll never hear them from the outside world Youll hear it happen inside you Youll hear it happen inside you Silent and high Silent and high Sounds that cant be made One day youll play me sounds that cant be made Ill feel them humming from somewhere inside your hand Ill never hear them from the boring ordinary tawdry world Youll never hear them from anywhere you could call anywhere Ill make it happen inside you Ill make it happen inside you Silent and high Silent and high Silent and high Silent and high Sounds that cant be made One day Ill play you sounds that cant be made Theyll sing in us from somewhere inside our heads No one ever heard them but you and me Well make it happen inside us Well make it happen inside us Silent and high Like the wind blowin In the palms of my mind I feel the wind blowin In the palms of my mind Aurora borealis Shimmering green and blue Indigo and violent Like phantoms half-imagined Something unreal But realer than everything Seeing all the planets love floating in the air Caressing you every day If only we can hear them Sounds that cant be made Sounds that cant be made No it aint just in your mind babe Its inside you Dig it out, dig it out Its inside you Only love can stop you from merely existing Play me sounds that cant be made

A wise man once said A flower is only A sexual organ Beauty is cruelty And evolution A wise man once said That everything could be explained With mathematics He had denied His feminine side Now where is the wisdom in that? I came just as fast as I could Through the dirty air Of your neighbourhood Your name on a grain of rice Hangin around my neck And a head like lead This is the 21st century I heard everything they said The universe demystified Chemicals for god This is the 21st century I heard everything they said A wise man once wrote That love is only An ancient instinct For reproduction Natural selection A wise man once said That everything could be explained And its all in the brain We lay on a velvet rug By the open fire She blew air on my eyelids I cried whats it all about? As she kissed my hair She said there, there.. This is the 21st century I heard everything you said The universe demystified Astronomy instead This is the 21st century Cant you get it through your head This aint the way it was meant to be Magic isnt dead Come to bed Come to bed And rest your heavy head my love And slowly, from above She showed the answers something That cant be written down This is the 21st century Flash to crash and burn Nobodys gonna give you anything For nothing in return Theres a man up in a mirrored building And he just bought the world Would you want To have kids Growing up Into whats left of this? She shook her head She said cant you see? The world is you The world is me.

I was out in the cold of a north london street A cog in the hurrying world Above the walls and the gate police I caught a glimpse of a Holloway girl She was reachin out of a window From a space just a few inches wide till the hand of justice pulled her back inside One day, freedom will unlock your door Hold on. Believe on Be who you were before One day, freedom will unlock your door I know how hard it can be to wait For proof you were right all along Self destruction is easy for you We know what youre capable of But like a needle in a haystack The truth gets so disguised In a kingdom built on madness and on lies One day, freedom will unlock your door So hold on. Believe on Be who you were before In deepest darkness The faintest light shines bright So hold on, hold on Its gonna be alright Youre lookin up at a mountain Between you and the outside But there isnt a mountain in this whole world Hasnt been climbed One day, freedom will unlock your door So hold on. Believe on Be who you were before In deepest darkness, the faintest light shines bright So hold on. Hold on Its gonna be alright One day, freedom One day, freedom One day, freedom will unlock your door

I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Garden Heading out west for the Lothian Road An evening news stuffed deep in the pocket Little did I know that even a heavy load I found us walking Griersons dockyards Where the only thing working was foreign film crews Making an impressive documentary For the big news To the satellite And all were left with is the black black oil With a sense of pride and identity The waters left behind we shouldnt forget Laid low in the books of history I saw the starlings wheel round Georgian spires Gathering on patrol in the skies In the distance burns the flame of Grangemouth And the dream is lost Everything what it could inspire From the take you know there is no distance How we talk about in the secret affairs Taking our ride into the distance To be what it was or could have been What I should have said And all were left with is the black black oil With a strong sense of national pride Till we take some more steps to unity Take it back to me Take it back In a city run out of luck And all were left with is the black, black oil With a strong sense of national pride Calling the for identity What it meant to me, what I said What we could have had I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Garden Heading out west for the Lothian Road An evening news stuck deep in the pocket Little did I know that hed fall Carrying a heavy load And all were left with is the black black oil With a strong sense of national pride Calling a name in the sake of unity What it means to me youll never know Youll never know I see myself forced in servant exile Turning around at anothers command All I want to see is identity What I could have been What I did Could have been Internal exile Internal exile

I went to Morrisons grave at Pere Lachaise cemetery The stony flowers and the matching graffiti were guiding me To the steps inside of me And what would you do if I got down on my knees to you What would you do if I lied to your face Could you still hold your dreams Could you live with your silent face So what would you do would you walk right through me Would you stand in the way like the others before Get in the way Would you drink to me next Beaujolais day Tell me the truth save a prayer for me I would love to leave you but you would cry all night long Eternal romantic victory failed on Beaujolais day I heard a wheelchair whisper across a stale silent gymnasium Trailing an ivy league jacket like a matador Through the jitterbug steps of the night before Through the chalk white chill and the tear fandango Heading away to the inner wrangle Do we cry for a cell Do we need for a cell What would you do would you cry for me Could you set off ... could we go gently Blame it away Do you really want to head for the open door Got to crack a bottle while you dream for me Just an absent friend and a misery Laying awake do we stay right there Till Beaujolais day On Beaujolais day So what would you do would you lie to me Would you sit right back in a victory Would you play for me Could you die for me So what would you do would you walk right through me Heading away saying its just another victory This is Beaujolais day

Turn your life upside down Take a car into town Wait until the worlds asleep And tear it up and never stop again Take a train to the sea Stay up all night ... and be It only takes a fraction of a second To turn your life upside down Take a train to the sea Be anyone you want to be A little spark of light inside your mind Safe and sound off the ground upside down Wide awake on the edge of the world

The only unforgivable thing Hauls itself out of bed Looks over my shoulder At the Bloodyenglishweather The only unforgivable thing Waits for me in the corner of the room Laughs as I clean my teeth Laughs as I rub at my eyes The only unforgivable thing Is curled up in the wardrobe with my clothes Sticks like chicken bones in my throat Ruins the ritual Sunday lunchtimes The only unforgivable thing Watches itself with me Every night on the tv Follows me across the park As I go out walking in the dark Waits for me in the kitchen cupboards The only unforgivable thing The only unforgivable thing We will close down Hide in the corner of the Lost and Found For to live without the ground Is so unsound Gravity would only pull us down Will no one help the boys Who exist only as voices? I have lost the stars and the sky It was so that I could keep the earth So now Im found Beyond the rocket-burst among the burned out fireworks In November The only unforgivable thing Is comfortable in its own skin Whispers Why did you do this to me? til its just about all Just about all I can see The only unforgivable thing The only unforgivable thing The only unforgivable thing I did.. I did.. You did.. You did.. You did.. We did..

This rock-star trip. Some serious ship White-knuckle journey blackened my Eye and cut my lip Better to be a doctor or a man who Walks the earth Hedonistic laughing boys Whats any of it worth?... Look at myself Look at myself Escaped to the car Drove to a bar somewhere The beautiful game Such a thin line between love and hate Look at myself Look at myself Mr. Taurus ate a thesaurus Made the girls cry and skipped straight To the chorus Mr. Taurus had a great fall All the Kings horses were no good At all No good at all Heres one I broke earlier I broke earlier Woke up in a spaceship of shimmering gold Tutenkhamen sleeping Shoulda left him alone Floating round in Orion Arrow pointing to heaven Between all the planets Out in the cold Everyone I love Everyone I love Everyone I love lives somewhere else And I have time to look at myself Look at myself Look at myself And Ive seen enough Ive seen enough Everyone I love lives somewhere else Everyone I love lives somewhere else Somewhere Else Somewhere Else Somewhere Else

200 fates entwined inside the plane We watched as England dropped away from us again I wasnt waiting, I wasnt sure what I would find I was prepared to let it happen on its own this time I had a feeling I was floating into time spent amongst friends Reintroduced from other strange and wonderful weekends As the seat belt signs announced the fall I realised Id been falling for a while Wed been falling for some time into Montreal I saw ice upon the river as the plane came in to land I heard Joni Mitchell singin her poems of isolation The man at immigration said his friends all knew the band Bizarre to come so far to an outstretched hand and easy conversation We were welcomed through arrivals without the usual transatlantic fuss And greeted by the fans who led us to the chilly street onto the bus The snow had hung around on the corners of the vacant lots And France was singing in the air of hi-rise North America And as we made our way into the hotel hall The man behind the desk broke a knowing smile, and said Hello sir, welcome back to Montreal. We hid away for the day in our identical rooms Like we usually do Another new bed, upside down in our heads And afternoon was morning And night was afternoon Only the jet-lagged know the way I sleep tonight.. So I Skyped home and said Its me. How are you babe? I cant be with you but I can see you on the screen Technology is wonderful when it isnt in the way The little one seems older now with every passing day I hope the vibes are good. Im behavin as I should Going down to breakfast ..What time is it now there? Ill go shopping for shoes ..or whatever ensues Je taime my darling, Je taime my darling See you soon.. We were invited to the circus - guests of honour if you please - by a girl with an eskimo name And in the cafe of the Cirque Soleil We bought Easter-eggs from outer-space 40 different languages are spoken in this place And inside the steel-glass building I gazed up at the trapeze The building 30 metres tall - we watched the acrobat fall He was quite safe He was falling into Montreal Down at the sports-bar the ice-hockey never ends.. Down at the sports-bar the ice-hockey never ends.. So up in my room I discovered Leonard Cohen on TV Live in London. Aint that perfect symmetry?! It warmed the heart to watch him float around the hall Soaking up, reflecting, radiating Just as I would, tomorrow night On the outstretched tender hands, tender hands Tender hands of Montreal The fleur de lis was always kind to me Ill make the time if ever you should call The fleur de lis was always kind to me Ill make the time if ever you should call And so I shall... Je taime my darling, Je taime my darling Montreal

Well she tied me to the headboard with a surf leash And her wet hair hugged her body like a long-lost friend And I really tried my best to get across to her But nothing she would say could be defended Well her birthday suit it was her only present When I looked into her eyes - no history And I told her eating people wasnt pleasant But she laughed a snake eye laugh and walked away from me I watched her as she walked across the coals I watched her as she walked across the coals She was singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird And I am your nightmare surfer babe Mr. Wilson wheres your sandbox and your beard Are you still looking for the perfect microwave So I did my best to try and get across her I said: One day every pebble hits the beach And I kissed her face and held her like a long-lost friend But she was too far out there to be reached She was singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird Im your nightmare surfer babe Mr. Wilson wheres your sandbox and your beard Are you still looking for that perfect microwave? And the sun came up over the mountain And the waves rolled in across the bay And the fabulous brightly coloured birds flew up out of the forest And she said Well were all heavens beautiful children livin together in paradise Lie down my dear... youre going to enjoy this She looked like shed had sex With a tyrannosaurus rex She was singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird Im your nightmare surfer babe Mr. Wilson wheres your sandbox and your beard Are you still looking for that perfect microwave? And I watched her as she walked across the coals And I watched her as she walked across the coals

This train is my life Speeding through the night We have been to these places For barely a moment Wide awake Sometimes sleeping Sometimes watching Sometimes dreaming Through stroby stations Too fast to know their names Too fast to know if we came or will come again Sleeping towns joined together By the steel of the rails Parallel lines Parallel lives You and I Were movie-rich Were reflected in the window The dark nights black mirror glass Distant lights from the wrong side of the tracks Christmas lights Go by in the houses Anonymous windows Anonymous rooms of Anonymous souls So take my hand Squeeze it tight Make some light In the darkness Im glad you came on this trip Dont lose your grip Dont lose your grip This train is my life This train is my life Travel with me And well see..

Cover my eyes The light falls on her face Dangerous lines Dangerous colours and shapes Ferocious designs Connected and ready to play Buttoned up tight Crimson and Halloween-white Shes like the girl in the movie when the Spitfire falls Like the girl in the picture that he couldnt afford Shes like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward Like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors Pain and heaven Pain and heaven The meaning of life A hair falls out of place Cover my eyes Dangerous colours and shapes And when she moves Cover my eyes She like the girl on the TV with the red guitar Like the girl with the dealer at the end of the bar Shes like the girl with the smile in the dream in the dark Like the girl overtaking in the open car Pain and heaven Pain and heaven

I heard the battle raging on the other side of the wall Buried my head in a pillow and tried to ignore it all Every night when I hear you I dream of breaking down your door An avenging knight in shining armour to rescue you from it all From the family business When I see you in the supermarket With sunglasses in the shade Averting your eyes from the staring questions How were those bruises made Its family business Children clutching to your legs Theyve got so much they want to say But daddys sitting home drunk again So they bite their lips and pray And daddy dont like no strangers prying And noses in his private affairs And if anyone asks from the social Well you fell down the stairs Its family business So Ill become an accessory And I dont have an alibi To the victim lying on my doorstep The only way I could justify Its family business Cos every day its getting harder Try to see to go away To all the people that surround you You have to sit down and explain To be the writing on the wall inside To be the pledge you call your own And if you run into the day You sure you know youll find a home You sure you know youll find a home The traffic lights shine upon ... and the broken home Everyone could be so far away ... and the white lines lead the way The writing on the wall Theyre carving out the martyrs Couldve been the same this way Couldve been the same this way Tell them Im the same today We could have been much younger It could have been much longer Until the real time Too far You run away today Tomorrow You take away the time You took away a mind Something to the light she said Everyones burning We could have been much younger

Theres something I have to tell you Before its too late Theres someone needs a timing I could be the same Got to listen to you clearly Would you understand it all Would you hold it all together Do we run up in the bar Everyone needs someone to listen to If you dont want to shine on Could you know it all And if someone lay before you know it could be true A voice in the crowd You came upon an ... Just an alibi Did you have to go do it To feel you want to try If youd only see the reason ... Someone came, someone rose, someone left I dont know if you could be sure You dont understand And if the days were good You never know the way we planned And if the time is there ... A voice in the crowd A voice in the crowd

Ive got a photograph I took a picture of you I took your photograph in front of my favourite view You play the part so well You look so sure and free No one could ever tell that you belong to me And cause you lie so well Ive got to pin you down Under lock and key So you will always be in my in my collection If you cant speak you cant lie If you cant run and you cant hide I know a place you cant die So no one lives inside My collection I want to capture you I want to immortalize The way you play with your hair The way you flash your eyes I taste the air you breathe I taste the food you eat I keep your nails and hair And some of the clothes you wear If you cant speak you cant lie If you cant run you cant hide And if youre dead you cant die So no one lives inside No one lives inside My collection Ive got some photographs Id like to show them to you Though you dont know the girls Youll recognize the view...

At that time of the night When streetlights throw crosses through window frames Paranoia roams where the shadows reign Oh, at that time of the night At that time of the night Your senses tangled in some new perfume Criticism triggers of a loaded room Oh, at that time of the night So if you ask me How do I fell inside I could honestly tell you Weve been taken on a very long ride And if my owners let me Have some free time some day With all good intention I would probably run away Clutching the short straw At that time of the night When questions rally in an open mind Summon all your answers with an ice cube chime At that time of the night At that time of the night Pretend youre off the hook with the telephone Your confidence wounded in a free fire zone Oh, at that time of the night So if you ask me Where do I go from here My next destination Even isnt really that clear So if you join me And get on your knees and prey Ill show you salvation Well take the alternative way Clutching the short straw If I had enough money Id buy a round for that boy over-there A companion in my madness in the mirror The one with the silvery hair And if some kind soul Could please pick up my tab And while theyre at it If they could pick up my broken heart Warm wet circles...

Did you ever feel that just by jumping on a plane All your cares would drop away and youd be born again Returning to a nature child happy wild and free But forgetfulness is a river and you know where the river leads Holidays in Eden Life before the fall See no, hear no, speak no evil Feel no guilt, feel no guilt at all Naked through the jungle, mud between your toes Following the river, where the river flows The creatures of the forest bid you Welcome to the dark Nothing here can hurt you, darkness has no heart Holidays in Eden Paradise regained See no, hear no, speak no evil Throw your past away You wake up one morning, wondering who you are Theres a map of new country up on the wall All your new lovers merge into one Youve done everything under the sun Theres a date on the air ticket And the moneys gone Back in your own country Nothing seems the same No one comes around at night Or uses your new name Hearing silent whispers Old friends are acting strange No one wants to know you now People say youve changed Holidays in Eden Life before the fall See no, hear no, speak no evil Feel no guilt at all Holidays in Eden Paradise and light Heaven loses you to this world Leaves you alone Kiss your home goodbye

I can imagine nothing more tedious Than trying to have fun with you again Maybe its just something in my mind But I hate feeling like Im trying all the time Its a kind of lie When we pretend that were still friends Im sure youre not exactly short of people to Hang out and laugh at your jokes Tell you you look great You wouldnt want me around Making it all feel forced .. And put down And every time I smile to wonder if Im laughin at you And with every little grin you dont want to be wonderin Just exactly what it is Im taking pleasure in Although I always said We were basically the same and all one All one Its so easy to persuade myself Im clockwork and youre quartz I guess that irony Will surely be The death of me And every time I smile dyou wonder if Im laughin at you? And with every little grin you dont want to be wonderin.. Although I always said We were basically the same and all one All one Its so easy to persuade myself Im clockwork and youre quartz Youre only happy when youre oiled and jewelled Youre only happy when you wind me up and I know Youre so reliable it isnt true And its so easy for me to break down If I could jump a ride between the skin and silicon then We could join hands and understand. Hallelujah! But I listen To the ticking I guess were worlds apart... Its so hard So hard I know theres no going back And you know theres no going back Youre only happy when youre oiled and jewelled Youre only happy when youre oiled and jewelled Youre never happy I need maintenance I need patience Im not foolproof Im not waterproof Im not shockproof Bombproof Bulletproof Fireproof Leakproof Childproof Stainproof Pressureproof I know I told myself Were all basically the same and all one all one Yknow sometimes I just cant help myself Im clockwork and youre quartz Im clockwork and youre quartz I know I never get the balance right And turn up half an hour late night after night And being totally dependable is so very commendable Although youre never wrong One of these days.. Youre just gonna stop

On the rebound, fumbling all the lines The light at the end of the bottle - alcoholic alphabet Through the looking glass the proof in my own reflection Five senses down and reeling on the Cinderella search On the rebound, fumbling all the lines Decay on the vertical hold with a horizontal aim Conversation needs translation Three dimensions down dissolving on the Cinderella search, Cinderella search On the rebound, writing all the lines Dreaming bartenders, bourbon and saxophone Out of luck, out of charm, out the game of rejections in a cigarette city Only courting the homing of direction on the Cinderella search, Cinderella search But the Samaritan of the heartbroken, heartbroken Swam through the nicotine seize, and we exchanged the kiss of life Resurrection in a trance, the model, the grail, in a marquee of promises I touched the dream, I hold the dream, I have the dream To end the Cinderella search, Cinderella search, oh no more, no more! Exposing bedside manners on a work extension Awaiting development with paranoid polaroid eyes, polaroid eyes The footman memorised the number But the prince still holds both the slippers And would you leave a palace for a bed sit And Canterbury Tales, Canterbury Tales? Maybe it was infatuation or the thrill of the chase Maybe you were always beyond my reach and my heart was playing safe But was that love in your eye I saw or the reflection of mine? Ill never really know for sure, you never really gave me time Give me time, wont you give me that time! Welcome back to the circus Welcome back to the circus Welcome back to the circus I always use the cue sheets but never the nets Always the cue sheets but never the nets Never the nets, never the nets Nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless Welcome back to the circus!

She bought a bottle of cider From the shop on the corner They didnt stop her Thought she was older She took a bus ride To a name and a number A house full of music And a hat full of wonder And some of the people that She thought that she knew Were never like this When she saw them at school Shes never been anywhere like this before Everybodys so out of control She was in a backroom Full of strange aromas And noises and candles That was where he found her He took her to a garden Full of rain and silence And she could smell the soil and the trees And see the succulent light From the little fires in his eyes Pulling shapes out of the night She was enchanted.... Then its twelve oclock And the last bus is gone Theyre gonna go crazy when They hear what shes done And higher is lower And less is like more Shes never felt anything like this before Before And then it was yesterday And he said Oh, by the way, Welcome to your first party

Everything to decide Its time I came up with some answers before I can carry on Its time I made my mind up before we can go along And I thought it was so simple And I knew that it could be so fine I know that the places that everything comes Rose beds scattered across the lawn Like the squares at Waterloo With the bayonets of thorns repelling Small children in search of lost tennis balls Seeing everything and giving their all I used to be scared of heights I used to get dizzy I never felt safe with my feet on the ground They said that up there the air would be clearer They said more space and more room to breathe Everything to the side I knew that something would happen Its better off than being alive I knew the standards decline I knew that we had to decide All the places that all wed ever seen And the place that we thought about And the road that you travel has never been seen Rose beds scattered across the lawn Like the squares of Waterloo With the bayonets of thorns repelling Small children in search of lost tennis balls Giving everything and giving it all I used to think everything was coming up roses But I couldnt see the weeds that entangled my feet I couldnt see the trees Cos my forest was burning I couldnt see the bridges the fire in my eyes They sold me the view from the hill They sold me the view from the hill They said that up there the air would be clearer They said more space and more room to breathe I used to be scared of heights I used to get dizzy They sold me the view from the hill

A man came to drill holes in the afternoon And by the evening Most of the afternoon had gone I seem to have slept through the morning But in the afternoon A morning is yet to come A girl came to help out in the kitchen And by the evening We found we were all washed up We ate on the lawn With the insects We burned incense Most of the band turned up It was just one of those days When the mind strays One of those days When everyone plays One of those days When everyone stays And all of the dreaming goes on A woman arrived in a panic With a picnic Better to give than receive A man came to pick holes in the logic He wore plastic And shoes you would hardly believe The evening arrived Slightly early like a pygmy Chewing the wrong kind of leaves We ordered extra tea Listened to XTC Under a shady tree Went back to bed at three It was cool As can be It was just one of those days When the mind strays When everyone plays One of those days When everyone stays And all of the dreaming goes on One of THOSE days

There were almost four hundred until the black day I discovered how high they would fly to the sky If you used them for tennis instead of a ball.. Zinging glass satellites crueller than fate Whacked with a racket up into the blue Id smashed all the greenhouses on the estate And a crowd formed a queue at the gate..

We are led by the light at the end of the tunnel We are guided by the fires of our burning dreams Were inspired by our ideals and driven by conscience To cross what the cynics perceive as naive We the people want it straight for a change We the people are getting tired of your games We the people want the answers laid out on the lines No more of your cheap propaganda And stop talking tic-tac-toe We the people fight your arms dealers wars We the people want our futures secure We the people want a peace staying all the way So cut out your message And take all your talking tic-tac-toe Everyone needs a symbol If you dont know of the reason Well how can you take a stand You need to be sure You need to return to an open Take a lesson from me Take a lesson from me That children play tic-tac-toe

Shes older than me I dont care about them talking Why cant they see Ive got all that I need All the pretty young things Seem suddenly boring When I look in her eyes All the world is behind Every line on her on her face Is a place and a memory When our fingers touch All the years fall away Mistakes that she made Hard lessons she carries And still shes prepared To tell me shell stay Shes older than me Shes shown me a heaven And were gonna be Over the hill And far away Far away Far away

Watching the people on the street today she couldnt help but smile Watchin the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit This is the day she walks away And the lights of the city pushin a good time Asking her out tonight But shes saving her money for a better life Shes got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall Shes got a map of the world Shes gonna go and see it all Shes gonna see it all Watchin the people on the street today Such a lonely sight Swore she could see their dreams go by All cars and stars and buy buy buy Runnin on empty runnin to stand still No time for their own lives Sleepwalking through the danger signs And it feels a little scary A little runaway Letting go of all shes done And the lights of the city, well theyre all singin Buy some of this, cmon But when you lie to yourself You lie to everyone Shes got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall Shes got a map of the world Shes gonna go and see it all Shes gonna see it all Shell empty the sand from her shoes In paradise Sail out across the bay Shell dance under an island sky Until the break of day Shes got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall Its such a beautiful world Glistening and magical Shes got a map of the world Shining away in her mind Colouring-in her life This is the day she walks Shes gonna see it all Shes gonna breathe it all Paris London New York Shes gonna see it all

When I was a child I had marbles They brought admiration and fame They were pretty to look at and marbles Was always my favourite game We played all the summer days In the stony alleyways In the playground after class We would trade the coloured glass More valuable than diamonds More magical than diamonds Did anyone see.. Did anyone see.. Does anyone see?

Dressed in black, no turning back We blanked out on the Great White Way Fingers in desires crack Wed bridge and tunnel into day Abandoned to the salt of skin Abandoned to the highway Sand running in the hourglass Heat of leather and mirages So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight Day-Glo Jesus on the dash Scorch marks on the road ahead Friendly fire in hostile waters Keep the faith, dont lose your head Dont lose your head So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight Afraid of Sunlight Agave flower Sleep beside me Driving on Nevadas burning Phoenix rising Driving on To sunlight Day-Glo Jesus on the dash Scorch marks on the road ahead Friendly fire in hostile waters Keep the faith, dont lose your head Dont lose your head So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight How do we now come to be afraid Afraid of sunlight

Things come wrapped up in time Like the past in a present Or the perfect line in a song They take their time And when theyre gone They take their time with them And you cant have them back Because the time for them has gone And their time has gone with them The time for them has gone Theres an echo of them An echo of the time they were wrapped in Sweet or bitter in the memory But an echo is all, all I can reach now An echo of you An echo of you An echo of you in your time Still echoing Like a star in the sky Like a star in the sky above me And the story of its life Told backwards down this rod of light But at its beginning.. Long extinct

I had this dream. That monkey inside ome Gone skulkin away Leavin me seeing.. Being Seeing Being Drinking lemon tea And feeling free Chilling in the sunshine On this dreamy street

Just when I thought Id seen the last of you You come here scratchin at my door Your pain and angers in the howling dark Of every corridor I walk So tell me more about the love that you rejected Tell me more about the trust you disrespected I still dont know, why did you hurt the very one? Why did you hurt the very one that you should have protected?

I wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree By the standing pool where you drank me And filled me full of thirsty love And the memory of water? ‘Wonder if a king still fishes there His back toward the burned out air His laughing catches singing loud The memory of water Your taste is blood and ecstasy But I must drink you all alone You’re freckled like a speckled egg A dove… but this bird has flown O stay with me sweet memory O stay with me Wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree By the standing pool where you drank me As pain flows through me like champagne Of the memory of water

Today! I saw music in the sky I drove towards it in my car And I turned left and I turned right But I could never lose the light That shines towards tomorrow night Who can say what it means? What goes on in between And what gets in between Its just somethin Between you and me Between you and me Between you and me Its as sweet as can be Today! I saw music in the sky It sang around me. I went blind Like a masterpiece in a disguise Couldnt stop it pulling at my eyes Who can say what it means What goes on in between And what gets in between Ice and fire Between you and me Between you and me Sweet as can be Between you and me Monday.. Tuesday.. Blow a fuse day Fix it in the usual way Meet me at the church and well get in a state Stay up late and Ill wake up feeling like A kid swingin on heavens gate With no God to complain Or point the finger of blame Well get it all down on video 8 You comin out to play? Could be quite a day... And I sang that pretty tune An open airy song And my heart looped the loop Well I could do no wrong Who can say what it means? What goes on in between Who can say what you see And what gets in between you and me Between you and me Sweet as can be Between you and me

I’ve been feeling kind of down and loose Like a Rosicrucian pope Head down deep in the womb of time Carrying a message of hope My hands steady as a hangman’s hands Surer than the hangman’s rope I could sleep for invisible years Carrying a message of hope For the future For the future Carrying a message Carrying a message Carrying a message Message of hope I’ve been feeling kind of down and loose Like a Rosicrucian pope Head down deep in the womb of time Carrying a message of hope My hands steady as a hangman’s hands Surer than the hangman’s rope I could sleep for invisible years Carrying a message of hope For the future For the future I found a power on a dusty shelf Hey!-the languages I learned Now I’m so powerful I hurt myself I hurt myself I feel kind of limbie brain Like the library of an astronaut Found hidden in a pyramid Shadowing a body of thought Carrying a message Message of hope Madam I’m Adam, I’m a palindrome Never odd or even any time Fishin and smilin like a garden gnome Twisting tales and spinning lines Spinning lines Twisting tales Why don’t we twist like we did last year? Carrying, carrying a message Message of hope

Her green plastic watering can for her fake chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth That she bought from a rubber man in a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself,- it wears her out She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man who just Crumbles and burns He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties but gravity always Wins and it wears him out She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My fake plastic love But i cant help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling If i just turn and run And it wears me out If i could be who you wanted all the time

The sky was Bible black in Lyon When I met the Magdalene She was paralyzed in a streetlight She refused to give her name And a ring of violet bruises They were pinned upon her arm Two hundred francs for sanctuary And she led me by the hand To that room of dancing shadows Where all the heartache disappears And in the glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear Jentend ton coeur, jentend ton coeur I can hear your heart, I can hear your heart I can hear your heart, your heart Your heart, your heart

It said in the paper that 90% of the universe went missing this morning Tonight I lost 90% of what was left..

The alarm by the bed Wring the dreams from my head Its a new day Leave the flakes in the bowl Milk unopened, Im gone But Im still late... Join the fight for a cab Take our place in the jam And watch the clock again There is a man in my head I think he came from the screen...

When we were young we used to say Things would be different One fine day The walls would crumble Nations sing as one We live in hope Cause so far it hasnt come Listening to the pouring rain Waiting for the world to change Beginning to wonder if well wait in vain For one fine day Oh, how years change The things for which we strive A better world, or just a quiet life What seemed so simple Is still so far away Dont hold you breath waiting For one fine day Listenin to the pouring rain Waiting for the world to change Beginning to wonder if well wait in vain For one fine day Life is strange It can seem youre high and dry Turn around You find theres nothing in this world you recognise Did we fall asleep babe? Dreaming that dream babe? Listening to the pouring rain Did we fall asleep babe? Dreaming that dream babe? One fine day

In our house Twos a crowd You threw me out Of my own life You seem want to be a friend In our house Twos a crowd No more trouble No more strife You seem to be at your wits end I tore apart my oldest friend How my heart jumped And may head thumped As this hard earth Came up and bumped As I was dumped And you threw me out And you threw me out Stood at the boundary Without a clue Unrequired Losing you.. Testing your patience Every day Opening drawers Getting in the way And making a mess While youre trying to clean I guess thats my function.. Know what I mean.. Throw me out Dont worry babe Im recyclable Ill biodegrade Ill biodegrade Im recyclable Im recyclable

I am the man from the planet Marzipan Good to see you My eyes are screwed up tight, unaccustomed to the light And all my arms and all my legs are much too long Much too long My head is in a state, unaccustomed to the weight I wear this mild expression, Im an alien to aggression Music only does me in my skins so thin Theres so much that I cant take in Theres so much that I cant take in Theres so much that I darent take in Can you feel through my skin to me? Can you feel through my skin to me?

Some of us want a fast car Some of us want to stand and gaze Some of us pine for the great outdoors Some of us wont leave the house for days Some of us have died for their freedom Some are quite happy in the cage Some think a wild time Is what they want at night But freedom to sleep Would be complete delight I truly am A lucky man I have everything that I want Some want diamonds and trinkets and gold The perfect body and the perfect skin Witnesses to their good deeds Willing accomplices to their sin Some of us pray for absolution Some want sex and call it love But freedom to cheats not something I need tonight I truly am A lucky man I have everything that I want Some of us want to be a rockstar Some of us just want more and more and more and more But Im not so sure, I think Ive been there before.. I truly am A lucky man I have everything that I want I truly am A lucky man I have everything that I want I truly am A lucky man I finally have everything that I want

In the after-silence fighting leaves behind I try to think it over But my minds gone blind I lost the right to argue somewhere down the line I had to tell She told me to Go to Hell And here I am In the gaping hole Home truths tear in a home Married to this hurting I know its all my fault Who can tell Looks like we have A house to sell Now shell never know What anyone could tell her Now shell never know What anyone can see Now she wont believe me Ever again, completely Now I hang around Feet back on the ground I just cant stand I just cant stand Now shell Never know What anyone could tell her Now shell never know What anyone can see Now she wont believe me Ever again, completely Now shell never know Or ever dream How much she means to me

What I have here in my heart Is like faith, but not faith For those without faith also have What I have here in my heart What I have here in my hand Is like feeling but deeper Thats why I am here What I have here in this room Is knowledge without proof What I have here in my hands This is what I feel for you Its why the Earth is alive And makes electricity work And fire dance in the sky I feel inside the atoms Where the science breaks down What I have here in my hand Is like faith, but not faith For those without faith also have What I have here in my hand What I have here in my hand Is like knowing but deeper Its why I have faith

He looked down from the airplane A crack in the clouds opened up he saw a garden of Eden An island in the sea Starin at the birth of creation The earth and the people living, growing, naturally A state of mind... He came down from the sky Into the noise of a million lives A garden of Eden Was it all a dream? We came a long, long, way with each other Were goin nowhere til we see were only Sisters and brothers A state of mind A state of mind is a contagious thing Spread it around you never know what the future brings... Ready to sow? You ready to grow? Reap what you sow You ready to know? A state of mind is a contagious thing Spread it around - you never know what the future brings... A state of mind A state of mind

Goodnight my love Im so alone And so surrounded By your sweet memory I cannot sleep For all these dreams They come to play Till dawn comes stealin them away.. The fruit of the wild rose Hangs here with summer gone Voluptuous crimson As the days become colder The fruit of the wild rose In a warmer country Where the sea meets the land You may walk with your baby In the afternoon Perhaps some aroma From a street cafй Might sadden your eyes Carry you away The fruit of the wild rose Sweet and so sour on the tongue Swollen and crimson As the light fades and shortens The thorny wild rose She gave me a summer but shes gone As england faces the winter In your eyes, in your mind, in your mind Clearer than a photograph No passing of time Ever could fade You and i Shimmering ghostly Like a wild garden from another life Will you throw your arm Turn your body round Breathe a sudden sigh Wherever you lie sleeping Stir your hips Feel the seed inside so sweet Dreaming westbound waves And a man comin back from the sea... Dreaming Dance for me rose

I left a note each day under your pillow That I wrote in invisible ink All you have to do is breathe on them And you might read them written there in pink You might find out whats inside me Maybe its something that might amuse As you watch my words appearing The fear will go And everything will flow Im hoping you dont throw my little notes away I wouldnt blame you After all, theres nothing they appear to say Its not a game, its simply fear Stops them being clear Cause Im hoping you dont throw my little notes away I wouldnt blame you After all, theres nothing they appear to say Its not a game, its simply fear Stops them being clear Its not a game, its simply fear That stops them being clear Im being optimistic here Im being optimistic here Love or fear Which do you have for me Love and fear Which do you have for me Cause Im hoping you dont throw my little notes away I wouldnt blame you After all, theres nothing they appear to say Its not a game, its simply fear Always stops them being clear Cause Im hoping Yes Im hoping, Im hoping Its not a game Its not a game Looks like a game But its not a game..

You sound truly heartbroken You can do it. youre a pro Agony from every pore. and such control The orchestra swoops and the drum samples roll You hold the high scream into the key change for the outro Its another number one And thats exactly where youre comin from But can you play me a song For the deliberate loser Like an olympic ice skater youve put in the hours Learned the routines and the high scoring loops And even before you sing the sweet opening line Youre know that youre scorin at least 5.9 Here come the flowers I saw them gathered all around you Hangin on your every word You were telling them youre masterplan World domination ... any way you can Dont you ever wonder if this will to win is a weakness? Dont you ever wonder...

The cars leave their trails of hot & cold light inside my head Like burned-in long exposure pictures The wheels spin slowly backwards Strobing in the amber light And the rain comes down and washes my brain But it dont get clean This town has turned me into what I have become This town dresses me up like a stranger This town performs in the window like the ultimate gift This town takes us down I feel like Im losing you to this town We were saving our money for half of our lives We were saving our dreams And we came to this place to make the chances real in the big city But Ive been counting the days Ive been watching you change And I can feel it dying The noise outside takes you in its arms like a lamb to a lion And down there somewhere among the noise The magazine dolls and the big money boys Move silently on their easy heels They move silently on their greasy wheels This town has turned me into what I have become This town dresses you up like a stranger This town hangs around in the doorway and tells me Im late This town takes us down, takes us down I feel like Im losing you to this town The morning breaks and I watch you awake and this town takes you down away from me again

I used to be half empty But now Im half full I used to be half empty But now Im half full I used to be half empty But now Im half full Im half full, Im half full, Im half full I used to be half empty But now Im half full Im half full, Im half full You woke me up I woke up in a city that doesnt sleep Woke up in a city by the sea I woke up in a city full of rain I nodded off, you woke me up again I woke up in a village full of stone I woke up, someone had taken everything I own The stone looked on and didnt care But all I really needed was someone to say there there... There there, there there... You woke me up You brought me round You picked me up when I was down You said stand clear, Hit me with the probes And you exploded in my lungs - And I woke up I woke up Ive been asleep for twenty years Been doing a crawl in a pool of someone elses tears I used to be half empty But now Im half full... I went to bed, too tired to cope - And I was gradually losing hope But angels come to you when all is lost In golden light at dead of night Golden light at dead of night An angels voice on the telephone - Come to whisper Take me home... I used to be half empty But now Im half full I used to be half empty But now Im half full! And I woke up in a city full of snow, full of snow - And history and beauty and Christmas-lights and cold And I saw your hair freezing, your eyelashes too And I never saw anything as beautiful as you - Til I woke up Well, I used to be half-empty But now Im half-full I used to be half-empty But now Im half-full Half empty Half empty ... And half full Half full ...

When I leave you I will leave you Things that might not help you Things that might Problems that I never solved Dreams to keep you up at night As I leave you I will leave you Things that stick for ever Things that slide Mysteries I swallowed whole Happiness I couldnt share Promises I never kept Stories that I never told Principles betrayed or sold Love I tried to spread too wide Muscles you can grow in hate Summer darkness Winter light Young mans shame and Old mans pride When I leave you I will hate to leave you Thats the heat that grows With growing old So never let me leave you Never let me leave you Cold

That was almost the end of my marbles Confiscated, I choked back the tears I hung onto a handful of favourites That disappeared over the years Did anyone see my last marble I swear that I had it before Sometimes I think I should go see a shrink In case he can find me some more Did anyone see my last marble? Id saved it to give it away Since I was a youth Now I dont have no proof Only words Only words Only words

This house aches I whistle its tune After so much noise Freedom is silence Half the house is missing Taken half of me with it I had imagined this Hurting in a different way Hurting in a different way I still have the hi-fi Quiet at all volumes As my dull thoughts Echo viscous and slow like the tolling of some great bell under water When she cries she cuts me And when she smiles I wanna die Afraid of knowing myself Our eyes stare out while we hide inside Looking at it, not seeing it Looking at it, not seeing it The open windows Let in the spring air today And the birds sing their thankfully happy, brainless song But the silence here finds a way to stay Some kind of explosion God, if you hear me Throw me a line or strike me down Do you refuse even to accuse Cmon, do your worst But lift this curse Built this house on solid ground But now its crumbling tumbling down Will nobody here even cry out for help? As it slowly collapses into itself Looking at it, not seeing it Looking at it, not seeing it Hanging on to this pain Its no good Its no good But we try again We try again

Staring down from this high window At the faces in the line Cold from hours of waiting How many people can you love? When youre black and blue with bruises From collisions on the road The friction grind of travelling This is the never ending show All over the world in eighty days Head in a blur of information What kind of a man could live this way I do what I can I do okay But right now All I want to do Is get real If thats all right with you Woke up last night under the mountains Driving from Zurich to Milan I lay there listening to the echoes Thinking of Iceland and Japan So many miles, so many faces And my home so far away I lose some of me in all these places And I cant help the way Im changed All over the world in eighty days Memories turn like magazine pages What kind of a man could live this way I do what I can But I cant escape it Right now All I want to do Is get real If thats all right with you Right now All I want to do Somehow Be myself with you All over the world in eighty days Alcohol haze of information What kind of a man could live this way As long as I have And stay the same Right now All I want to do Is get real If thats all right with you Right now All I want to do Get real If thats all right with you For just one night with you If thats all right with you Get real Get real right now Somehow

A voice from the past Entered my head today Fresh & alive. Full of life, passion and pain A voice now past A beautiful soul. Gone, gone, gone Speaking clearly - clearer than the living Talking perfect sense Used to not being understood While talking perfect sense to the next generation Have we caught up yet? Is it time? I think it is Enough is enough Enough is enough A voice from the past Entered my head today Tiny child sighed in my ear Giving up breathing in Over & out Over & out Taken by bad luck & the ill fortune of geography Common cold. Dirty water. HIV Common apathy. Common crime Perfect nonsense to the next generation Dead yet alive Dead yet alive Gone but shouting anger Gone but talking perfect sense Have we caught up yet? Is it time? Well I say it is. I say it is Deaf & dumbed-down Enough is enough Give me a smile. Hold out your hand I dont want your money I dont want your land Gimme a smile. Hold out your hand I dont want your money I dont want your land I want you to wake up & do Something strange I want you to listen I want you to feel someone elses pain Someone elses pain Someone elses pain Someone elses pain Deaf & dumbed-down Deaf & dumbed-down A tap with clean water

The pack has now fallen So bring out your dead Has Alice forgotten As the rivers run red The White Queens running backward with a mallet to the fore The Cheshire Cat is grinning, dissolving through the floor So walk a little faster To catch up with your past And moving on a black square You meet the Queen at last An now the pack has fallen Where your paths were once mislead Youll never return for all the vows that were said

Heading for the great escape Heading for the rave Heading for the permanent holiday Heading for the winter trip Heading for the slide Heading for the dignified walk away Heading for the open road Goodbye to all that Heading for the automatic overload Standing in the open boat Standing in the swing Waiting for the ringing and the bright light Waiting to be recognised Quiet applause will do They shower you with flowers when they bury you Youre holding on, youre holding on ... I. The Last of You Just when I thought Id seen the last of you You come here scratchin at my door Your pain and angers in the howling dark Of every corridor I walk So tell me more about the love that you rejected Tell me more about the trust you disrespected I still dont know, why did you hurt the very one Why did you hurt the very one That you should have protected? II. Falling from the Moon Dont ask me why Im doing this You wouldnt understand Youre asking the wrong questions You couldnt understand A bridge is not a high place The fifty-second floor Icarus would know A mountain isnt far to fall When youve fallen When youve fallen from the moon Theres murder on the street Im ashes on the water now, somewhere far away I have fallen, fallen from the moon

Its getting late for scribbling and scratching on the paper Somethings gonna give under this pressure And the cracks are already beginning to show Its too late The weekend career girl never boarded the plane They said this could never happen again Oh, so wrong, so wrong This time it seems to be another misplaced rendezvous This time, its looking like another misplaced rendezvous With you The parallel of you, you You On the outskirts of nowhere On the ringroad to somewhere On the verge of indecision Ill always take the roundabout way Waiting on the rain For I was born with a habit, from a sign The habit of a windswept thumb And the sign of the rain

I dreamed I rolled on the ocean floor In the sunken bones of a broken ship On the shadow line where spirits creep To the world above from the world beneath On waves of silver I dreamed of gold till I lost the peace that dreaming gives I dreamed of the moment of my own death That no one ever dreams and lives I dreamed I sailed to the mirrored edge Of that murky world for an iron bell That dragged me down to the ocean bed And rang to mark where my shadow fell On waves of silver I dreamed of gold till I lost the peace that dreaming gives I dreamed of the moment of my own death That no one ever dreams and lives That no one ever dreams and lives That no one ever dreams and lives I dreamed I slept on the ocean bed And a silent grave of silver sand Rolled in the sway of an iron bell Ive heard them say when they go to sea On stormy nights you can hear her moan She tolls for the mourning of my own death And echoes here on the village stones On the waves of silver I dreamed of gold I dreamed of the moment of my own death That no one ever dreams and lives That no one ever dreams and lives That no one ever dreams and lives

I wanted it til I got it I wanted it til I got it Believed in it til I saw it I needed it til I had it I guess I live to regret it I dreamed of it til I got it Believed in it til I saw it I needed it til I had it I wanted it til I got it I wanted it til I got it I wanted it til I got it Believed in it til I saw it I needed it til I had it Then I wanted something else I wanted to be free I didnt last a week There aint no pleasing me Thats how its gonna be Nothing fills the hole Nothing fills the hole Nothing fills the hole

They got money, they got sun They look like theyre havin fun Dont it seem its so unfair They know something you dont know Theyve got a better place to go Theyre thin and rich and they dont care We get the dreams that we deserve The magazines that we deserve Page one and three that we deserve The joy and the pain that we deserve The sun and the rain that we deserve The material gain that we deserve We get what we deserve They got tension, they got stress They got their lives in the press The whole world stares as they undress Sold their friends to get ahead They do therapy instead Theyve got demons in their bed We get the toys that we deserve The quiet and the noise that we deserve The girls and the boys that we deserve We get what we want if we really want it We get what we want if were really honest You know what you are You know what you want You know what you deserve We get the seas that we deserve The flowers and the trees that we deserve The spores on the breeze that we deserve We get what we want if we really want it We get what we want if were really honest You know what you are You know what you want You know what you deserve You deserve We get what we deserve We deserve

The quiet sadness of the people of the North Echoes silently around the cold grey places Ecstasies undared Tremble upon the edge of the tightly, respectably unfulfilled Who drink to excess in order to forget what never happened Brave faces Well dressed ordered minds on suicides edge Reflected in the rain-skimmed slate grey, battleship grey, hardship grey And further South, and homeless Here I am Globally altered and dishevelled Oh darling, Ive done it all An antithesis of sorts And yet bound together and hopelessly in love With the inevitable loss And the end How can we run from ourselves?

If the time will come when Im alone Got no place to go If you see me one night on my own Rain pouring on And my mind keeps on flying Trying to be free And my spirit comes to meet me Im as high as I can be And theres someone in the valley Shes calling out to me Shes standing by the river My Lady Fantasy Sunrise in the morning Lies upon the hill Daybreaks without warning ???? coming still Sun fills up the valley Carpet all of green Falls upon the lady Finest ever seen She stands by the river There for all to see Love goes on forever Oh my Lady Fantasy

Youre only human So am I Its such a shame we have these secrets and lies That get discovered from time to time Whatever rises eventually falls The world turns and it turns on us all You cant live life without making mistakes You cant live trying to keep the outside world away Its time to stop Beating yourself up Its not your fault Its not your fault Its not your fault I broke a mirror Maybe two Shattered reflections Thats all I have of you Crackin like eggshell beneath my fear I couldnt breathe, I couldnt keep the outside world away Oh dear When you lie down to sleep Repeat after me Its not your fault Its not your fault Its not your fault Were both so tired Its not your fault Its just the way were wired
