I gazed upon you and I wondered Cheerleader with hair of red flame But that was first glance - I saw only the dance And the distance from New York to Yorkshire Truths always stranger than fiction And here its especially true Here in the home of Miss USA Whats a wide-eyed English boy going to do? I never knew much about baseball But I was quick with the US cliché The crowd gave a roar and I dont know what for The Major League rules get me so confused Truths always stranger than fiction The cheerleader showed me around You with the heart of the USA And me with the spite of a small English town Central Park after dark, is safe these days Depending on the game you play..

Woke up in a city that doesnt sleep Full of rain You woke me up Woke up in a city down by the sea Like a dream You woke me up I woke up in a city full of snow And history and beauty and Christmas-lights and cold With angels that come when all is lost In golden light at dead of night They take you home And I woke up I woke up Woke up in a city that doesnt sleep You woke me up, You woke me up, You woke me up And I woke up in a city by the sea You woke me up, You woke me up, You woke me up You woke me up I woke up in a city full of rain The world had stopped I woke up to feel no pain Day from night Anti-gravity and light Its so clear, just what Im doing here The blinding obvious is what you showed to me

Something is coming out of the rain Magic, its happening again Like the last time I dont know how it happens But I know what to do Comin up from the ground I think its you I will walk on the water You sent me the red sun and the purple sky Cirrus clouds and grins Atoms of roses The power to do anything In the chaos of colours And the fluttering of wings You carry me up And Im free again Dont let anyone tell you This is impossible What we have here is bigger than fear I will walk on water Dont let anyone tell you This is impossible Hold on to me Believe what you see I will walk on water

Strung out below a necklace of carnival lights Cold moan, held on the crest of the night Im too tired to fight So now were passing strangers, at single tables Still trying to get over Still trying to write love songs for passing strangers All those passing strangers And the twinkling lies, all those twinkling lies Sparkle with the wet ink on the paper

Air full of feathers Fluttering distant laughter Air full of signs & strange magic Planets aligned in warning Trap door sprung beneath me And Im falling But Im rising.. Downwards into blue sky Im rising Downwards into blue sky Re-entering the earth Comets tail behind me Signaling a birth The northern lights, all burning Hot & cold at the same time My spirit, white & liquid And I have learned & I am learning But Im rising Downwards into blue sky Im rising Downwards into blue sky I am the other half And you are what I am for I wont lie to you or hurt you Im not like that anymore I am with you all the time now One soul. One mind. One heart The other half cannot be parted From the other half

Everything crashed His wife left him He lost all his money And most of his friends He lay awake all night Lonely and desperate Contemplating starting again These chains are all your own These chains are comfortable Four in the morning Sat in the kitchen Keys on the table Went out for a drive He didnt know Where he was going Didnt know If he was alive The dawn was breaking A new day was rising Shadows creepin over the fields He watched the pink light Steal across the horizon He realised He saw with new eyes These chains are all your own These chains are comfortable This cage was never locked Born free but scared to be This cage was made for you With care and constant attention This cage is safe and warm Will you die and never know what its like Outside

Bound up in this energy ball again Laughing and bouncin off the magic Rollin under like a surfboard in a wave Washin me up... I want to do it again Entwined in her arms Spinning around and submarine beneath the deep of her Climbing the forks of the lightning Building a rod for my back its all right, its all right Dreamin a dream that only the sleepless know Chilling the afternoon in viva vida Watchin the sun slide down the avenue So real... I feel... Dizzy to fever with this love The blues and the greys are waved away inside a day with her Riding the forks of the lightning Feeling the sparks along my back its all right, its all right I thought I was born to take and to damage But Im giving and healing and feeling Ultramarine and ultra-serene Climbing the forks of the lightning She told me today itll be okay its all right, its all right Im a submarine in this ocean

Curl up tight into a ball Curl my body against the soil Staring up here At the cathedral wall I will sleep tonight Be a baby Forget it all Be a baby Watch the quiet stones Massive friend Cathedral wall I will sleep tonight A mother to the living A mother to the dead Silent as the moonlight I come to lay my head And I wont know you Anymore The peckish evening rolls once more Into the ravenous night Of hunger pains That keep our troubled souls awake We are forbidden to explain A mother to the living A mother to the dead My ghost will drink the moonlight Magic stones My heart and bones And I wont know you Anymore Shes cold She knows me Cathedral wall Shes cold She shows I borrow Keep away Keep you away my love, my love And pray I might sleep tonight The violence of my heartbeat The violence of the blood I will sleep with the cathedral And, one day, youll give up And I will love you But I wont know you Anymore My frenzied and exhausted mind Will somehow find a way To leave you for a time Condemned to lieing And lying awake

We flew here to see you My feelings and I I looked down on the city From up in the sky The sun was reflecting From the roofs and the water Spring had come early In the parks and the old town I came with a mission To patch up a dream We walked and I talked and my words were absorbed Into the answering machine I came two thousand miles Just to take a look at you But you were broken and frozen A heartbreak of a statue In the bullet-proof mirrors Where your eyes used to be I stared at myself and I called for some help Into the answering machine The day slipped by and I tried and tried You took me home and you said Goodnight, Sleep tight On the floor by the bedroom door I watched you sleep and I left before first light The bugs dont bite The bugs dont bite The bugs bite From the land of the frozen To the land of the low We journeyed together But we were always alone So if I should come calling Best not pick up the phone Cause Im no good for you and youre no good for me Let me talk to the answering machine I can cope with the answering machine Im a friend of the answering machine

Youre a girl half the world could fall in love with Half the world could fall in love Youre a girl half the world could fall in love with

Vodka intimate, an affair with isolation in a Blackheath cell Extinguishing the fires in a private hell Provoking the heartache to renew the licence Of a bleeding heart poet in a fragile capsule Propping up the crust of the glitter conscience Wrapped in the christening shawl of a hangover Baptised in the tears from the real Drowning in the liquid seas on the Piccadilly line Rat race scuttling through the damp electric labyrinth Caress Ophelias hand with breathstroke ambition An albatross in the maritime tradition Sheathed within the Walkman, wear the halo of distortion Aural contraceptive aborting pregnant conversation She turned the harpoon and it pierced my heart She hung herself around my neck From the Time-Life-Guardians in their conscience bubbles Safe and dry in my sea of troubles Nine to five with suitable ties Cast adrift as their side-show, peepshow, stereo hero Becalm bestill, bewitch, drowning in the real The thief of Baghdad hides in Islington now Praying deportation for his sacred cow A legacy of romance from a twilight world The dowry of a relative mystery girl A Vietnamese flower, a Dockland union A mistress of release from a magazines thighs Magdalenes contracts more than favours The feeding hands of western promise hold her by the throat A son of a swastika of 45 parading a peroxide standard Graffiti disciples conjure testaments of hatred Aerosol wands whisper where the searchlights trim the barbed wire hedges This is Brixton chess A knight for Embankment folds his newspaper castle A creature of habit, begs the boatmans coin Hell fade with old soldiers in the grease stained roll call And linger with the heartburn of Good Fridays last supper Son watches father scan obituary columns in search of absent school friends While his generation digests high fibre ignorance Cowering behind curtains and the taped up painted windows Decriminalised genocide, provided door to door Belsens Pandoras box of holocausts gracefully cruising satellite infested heavens Waiting, the season of the button, the penultimate migration Radioactive perfumes, for the fashionably, for the terminally insane, insane Do you realise? Do you realise? Do you realise, this world is totally fugazi Where are the prophets, where are the visionaries, where are the poets To breach the dawn of the sentimental mercenary

Well I gave up cocaine and I gave up smack I gave up drinking alcohol and smoking crack I gave up living on the never never But I cant give up believing that Im going to live forever Well I gave up computer games, I gave up meat I gave up watching tv in my favourite seat I gave up wearing fur and I gave up wearing leather But I cant give up believing that Im going to live forever Give it up, give it up Dont you know youve got to lose? The desires you were born with And your talent to abuse Give it up, give it up Theres a better life to live Give it up, give it up Give it all youve got to give Well I gave up sugar and I gave up spice I gave up everything that feels allright Cause I feel that these addictions are a chain you have to sever Im addicted to believing that Im going to live forever

Ive done everything that can be done to heal this wound Left it on its own for years Ive done everything that can be done to heal this wound Left it on its own for years Couldnt touch it, didnt pick it, didnt get it wet It didnt stop the bleeding I bandaged it, I wrapped it, stitched it, tourniqueted it I held it stiff & aching in the air Held it there til I went beserk Didnt sleep It didnt work Didnt stop it weeping And the wound is your life And your life took on a life of its own And your life rolled on over me Bang-Bang like 56 train wheels Every time I heard news of you And the wound was in every lousy song on the radio And the pain was like a tree-fern in the dark, damp, forgotten places Darkness didnt stop her growing New-born baby cells dividing.. Curled up tight unrolling day by day Stretching up, stretching out Forming the same identical shape Clones. There aint too much sadder than Clones - relentlessly emerging from the hairy heart of the wound And the fern is beautiful in its own way Uncurling in the dark Beautiful with no one there to see it As the would weeps & aches

I am the assassin, with tongue forged from eloquence I am the assassin, providing your nemesis On the sacrificial altar to success, my friend Unleash a stranger from a kiss, my friend No incantations of remorse, my friend Unsheathe the blade within the voice, my friend Who decorates the scarf with the fugi knot Who camouflaged emotion in a thousand yard stare Who gouged the notches from the family tree Who hypnotised the guilt in career rhythm trance Assassing, assassing, assassing, assassing Listen as the syllables of slaughter cat with calm precision Patterned frosty phrases rape your ears and sow the ice incision Apocalyptic alphabet casting spell the creed of tempered diction Adjectives of annihilation bury the point beyond redemption Venomous verbs of ruthless candour plagiarise assassins fervour A friend in need is a friend that bleeds Let bitter silence infect the wound You were a sentimental mercenary in a free fire zone Parading a Hollywood conscience You were a fashionable objector with a uniform fetish Pavlovian slaver at the cash till ring of success A non com observer - I assassin the collector - defector So you resigned yourself to failure, my friend And I emerged the chilling stranger, my friend To eradicate the problem, my friend Unsheathe the blade within the voice I am the assassin I am the assassin And what do you call assassins who accuse assassins anyway, my friend?

I think I have become one of the hollow men As I shine on the outside more these days I can feel the outside feeding on my inside Leaves a growing darkness in its place I think I have become one of the hollow men I think I have become one of the lonely Now that everybody talks to me I feel I have become one of the empty Hollow men can stop you with the twinkling of an eye Hollow men can take you without even reaching out Hollow men have got you long before you realise The poison paralyses I think I have become one of a pair of men Its a feeling Ive been having for some time I look down upon myself and watch my movements A blind eye sees the fragile vandalised Watch this cold world dishing up these endless hollow men Find us anywhere you look Come and meet our friends Stand us in our silly clothes Put our batteries in Line us up like fairground ducks Watch us grin and grin See the lies behind our eyes See the will to win Well buy you and well sell you But perhaps well save your skin Sit quietly and listen to the breeze The hollow and the lonely listen too Sniff the air for something we can use Were tin-hard and we rattle when were shaken

A love song with no validity Pretend you never meant that much to me Numb, a Valium child, bored by meaningless collisions A lonely stretch of headlight, diamonds trapped in black ice A mirror cracked among the white lines I just wanted you to be the first one I just wanted you to be the first one Ashes are burning, burning Ashes are burning, burning A lifestyle with no simplicities But Im not asking for your sympathy Talk, we never could talk, distanced by all that was between us A lord of the backstage, a creature of language Im so far out and Im too far in I just wanted you to be the first one I just wanted you to be the first one Bridges are burning, burning Bridges are burning, burning

I was walking in the park dreaming of a spark When I heard the sprinklers whisper Shimmer in the haze of summer lawns Then I heard the children singing They were running through the rainbows They were singing a song for you Well it seemed to be a song for you The one I wanted to write for you, for you Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green When I am King, dilly dilly, you will be Queen A penny for your thoughts my dear A penny for your thoughts my dear I.O.U. for your love, IOU for your love Lavenders green, dilly dilly, lavenders blue When you love me, dilly dilly, I will love you A penny for your thoughts my dear A penny for your thoughts my dear IOU for your love, IOU for your love For your love

Absence makes the heart go mad All the solid things become mirages The certain things, sand running in the hour glass Running away I scream along the ledge As the windows back and close I run around try to prove the sunrise I believe in belief but its proof I need Can you show me its me? Can you show me its me? Traveling makes the mind go vague All the special faces fade away Spinning like a heat haze shimmering Please send Polaroids or an ear in the post A map to the treasure, a key to the closed I need you like hell, can you help me again? Can you show me its me Can you show me its me I run dry, I run out, I run cold, I need help Trying to prove the sunrise Trying to prove the tides Trying to prove the blue moon sky And is it you? Is it you?

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

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

A ghost of a mist was on the field The grey and the green together The noise of a distant farm machine Out of a the first light came A tattered necklace of hedge end trees On the southern side of the hill Betrays where the border runs between Where Mary Dunoons boy fell Easter here again, a time for the blind to see Easter, surely now can all of your hearts be free Out of the port of Liverpool Bound for the North of Ireland The wash of the spray and horsetail waves The roll of the sea below And Easter here again, a time for the blind to see Easter, surely now can all of your hearts be free What will you do?

I am the assassin, with tongue forged from eloquence I am the assassin, providing your nemesis On the sacrificial altar to success, my friend Unleash a stranger from a kiss, my friend No incantations of remorse, my friend Unsheathe the blade within the voice, my friend Who decorates the scarf with the fugi knot Who camouflaged emotion in a thousand yard stare Who gouged the notches from the family tree Who hypnotised the guilt in career rhythm trance Assassing, assassing, assassing, assassing Listen as the syllables of slaughter cat with calm precision Patterned frosty phrases rape your ears and sow the ice incision Apocalyptic alphabet casting spell the creed of tempered diction Adjectives of annihilation bury the point beyond redemption Venomous verbs of ruthless candour plagiarise assassins fervour A friend in need is a friend that bleeds Let bitter silence infect the wound You were a sentimental mercenary in a free fire zone Parading a Hollywood conscience You were a fashionable objector with a uniform fetish Pavlovian slaver at the cash till ring of success A non com observer - I assassin the collector - defector So you resigned yourself to failure, my friend And I emerged the chilling stranger, my friend To eradicate the problem, my friend Unsheathe the blade within the voice I am the assassin I am the assassin And what do you call assassins who accuse assassins anyway, my friend?

A hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu And you sit there and ask me to tell you the story so far This is the story so far Shuffling your memories dealing your doodles in margins You scrawl out your poems across a beermat or two And when you declare the point of grave creation They turn round and you to tell them the story so far This is the story so far And you listen with a tear in you eye To their hopes and betrayals and your only reply Is Slàinte Mhath Princes in exile raising the standard Drambuie Parading their anecdotes tired from old campaigns Holding their own last orders commanding attention We sit here and listen to all of the story so far This is the story so far Take it away Take it away Take it away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away From the dream on the barbed wire at Flanders and Bilston Glen From a Clydeside that rusts from the tears of its broken men From the realisation that all weve been left behind Is to stand like our fathers before us in the firing line Waiting on the whistle to blow We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow They promised us miracles, and the whistle still blows Broken promises but the whistle still blows Waiting on the wistle to blow We stand here waiting on the wistle to blow

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

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

I work all night, I work all day To pay the bills I have to pay Aint it sad And still there never seems to be A single penny left for me Thats too bad In my dreams I have a plan If I got me a wealthy man I wouldnt have to work at all Id fool around and have a ball Money, money, money Must be funny In the rich mans world Money, money, money Always sunny In the rich mans world All the things I could do If I had a little money Its a rich mans world A man like that is hard to find But I cant get him off my mind Aint it sad And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldnt fancy me Thats too bad So I must leave, Ill have to go To Las Vegas or Monaco And win a fortune in a gamе My life will never bе the same Money, money, money Must be funny In the rich mans world Money, money, money Always sunny In the rich mans world All the things I could do If I had a little money Its a rich mans world Money, money, money Must be funny In the rich mans world Money, money, money Always sunny In the rich mans world All the things I could do If I had a little money Its a rich mans world Its a rich mans world

Pretty soon youll be able to remember her Lying in the garden singing Right where shell always be The door is always open This is the place that I loved her And these are the friends that she had Long may the mountain ring To the sound of her laughter And she goes on and on In her soft wind I will whisper In her warm sun I will glisten Till we see her once again In a world without end We owe it all to Frank Sinatra The song was playing a shе walked into the room After thе long weekend They were a lifetime together Appearing in the eyes of children In the clear blue mountain view The colouring in the sky And painting ladders to heaven And she goes on In her soft wind I will whisper In her warm sun I will glisten Till we see her once again In a world without end In her soft wind I will whisper In her warm sun I will glisten And I always will remember In a world without end She goes on She goes on She goes on

So this is where she stands at night On this cold avenue of lights The red and greens but mostly reds For you hes stopping In seeing him she knows him less His stick is wet, shes half undressed And all and all theyre both obsessed With so much nothing I know its hard for you to see What lies behinds a mystery If words could speak theyd mean even less When the king is half undressed She dots her Is with a smiley face A work of art in all but taste The fool deserves the bed hes made Where idiots slumber Divine she is to aire this fate A crack of smile through all this hate Means nothing more in this nervous state Of so much nothing I know its hard for you to see The truth behind is misery If words could speak theyd mean even less When the king is half undressed Blue autumns Sunshine kisses Hearts and flowers And broken wishes I know its hard for you to see What lies behinds a mystery If words could speak theyd mean even less When the king is half undressed I know its hard for you to see The truth behind is misery If words could speak theyd mean even less When the king is half undressed

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 feel 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 cubes 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

When I was a young boy I wanted to sail around the world Thats the life for me, living on the sea Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe The lust of a pioneer, will acknowledge no frontier I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky Lightning flash, tempers flare Round the horn if you dare I just spent six months in a leaky boat Lucky just to keep afloat Aotearoa, rugged individual Glisten like a pearl, at the bottom of the world The tyranny of distance, didnt stop the cavalier So why should it stop me, Ill conquer and stay free Ah cmon all you lads, lets forget and forgive Theres a world to explore, tales to tell back on shore I just spent six months in a leaky boat Six months in a leaky boat Ship-wrecked love can be cruel Dont be fooled by her kind Theres a wind in my sails Will protect and prevail I just spent six months in a leaky boat Nothing to it leaky boat

You landed in my life Like a new and brighter light That made all my past seem in the shadow I always used to believe That beauty was skin deep But I need a new word to describe you And the time that it took to take down the wall Was the time that it took for me to fall Hopelessly weak No one can take you away from me now Dont worry if they take me away No one can take you away from me now Don’t matter how long we have to wait The days before you came Were really all the same A greyness I used to call freedom Endless nights out with the boys The boasting and the noise To think that I ever believed them No one can take you away from me now Dont worry if they take me away No one can take you away from me now Dont matter how long we have to wait I don’t care what they think Youre all I believe in I carry you here And theres something of you In everything that I love No one can take you away from me now Dont worry if they take me away No one can take you away from me now Dont matter how long we have to wait No one can take you away from me now Dont worry if they take me away

If you were a baby I would take you and run I could hide you in the folds of my heart Theres a truth in the madness that I can’t get beyond And a fever that wont leave me alone I dont want my heart Don’t want my head Dont want my friends Dont want my bed I cant live with myself I cant live with myself Cant take no help I try to want to But I cant get beyond you I will stare from the window At the shapes in the rain As the space between us drives me insane I cant live with myself I can’t live with myself Can’t take no help Dont want no one else If I was a child I would refuse to leave I would sit down on the street Kick my legs and scream I’m not much of a man But I know how I am I know this wont fade away I will pretend and be strong But I wonder where I belong And the feeling comes in waves A hole in my body, aching Like a heart dying A soul crying Exhausted and insecure Took all you have and I still want more So I reach out to hold you But all I do is hurt you Hurt you I cant live with myself I cant live with myself Can’t take no help I try to want to But I cant get beyond you If I was a child I would take you and run And I say I dont know... But I know And I say Ill go You just spent the whole day Driving away

Drive the road to your surrender Time comes around... out of my hands Small boats on the beach at the dead of night Come and go before first light Leave me running in the wheel King of the world How do you feel? What is there to feel? So how do we now come to be Afraid of sunlight? Tell me girl why you and me Scared of sunlight? Been in pain for so long I cant even say what hurts anymore I will leave you alone I will deny I will leave you to bleed I will leave you with your life So how do we now come to be Afraid of sunlight? Tell me girl why you and me Scared of sunlight? All your spirit rack abuses Come to haunt you back by day All your Byzantine excuses Given time, given you away Dont be surprised when daylight comes To find that memory prick your thumbs Youll tell them where we run to hide Im already dead Its a matter of time So how do we now come to be Afraid of sunlight How do we now come to be Afraid of sunlight Day-Glo Jesus on the dash Chalk marks on the road ahead Friendly fire in hostile waters Keep the faith Dont lose your head So how do we now come to be?

Blackberry Way absolutely pouring down with rain Its a terrible day Up with the lark, silly girl I dont know what to say She was running away But now Im standing on the corner Lost in the things that I said What am I supposed to do now? Goodbye Blackberry Way I cant see you, I dont need you Goodbye Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day Flowers in the park overgrowing but the trees are bare Theres a memory there Boats on the lake, unattended now for all to drown Im incredibly down Just like myself they are neglected Turn with my eyes to the wall What am I supposed to do now? Goodbye Blackberry Way I cant see you, I dont need you Goodbye Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day Run for the train, look behind you for she may be there Said a thing in the air Blackberry Way, See the battlefield of careless sins Cast to the winds So full of emptiness without her Lost in the words that I said What am I supposed to do now? Goodbye Blackberry Way I cant see you, I dont need you Goodbye Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day Goodbye Blackberry Way I cant see you, I dont need you Goodbye Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day

Now when you climb into your bed tonight And when you lock and bolt the door Just think of those out in the cold and dark Cause theres not enough love to go round No theres not enough love to go round And sympathy is what we need my friends And sympathy is what we need And sympathy is what we need my friends Cause theres not enough love to go round No theres not enough love to go round Now half the world hates the other half And half the world has all the food And half the world lies down and quietly starves Cause theres not enough love to go round No theres not enough love to go round And sympathy is what we need my friends And sympathy is what we need And sympathy is what we need my friends Cause theres not enough love to go round No theres not enough love No theres not enough love to go round

Do you remember? Chalk hearts melting on a playground wall Do you remember? Dawn escapes from moon washed college halls Do you remember? The cherry blossom in the market square Do you remember? I thought it was confetti in our hair By the way, didnt I break your heart? Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart So sorry, I never meant to break your heart But you broke mine Kayleigh, is it too late to say Im sorry? And, Kayleigh, could we get it together again? I just cant go on pretending That it came to a natural end Kayleigh, oh I never thought Id miss you And, Kayleigh, I thought that wed always be friends We said our love would last forever So how did it come to this bitter end? Do you remember? Barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars Do you remember? The loving on the floor in Belsize Park Do you remember? Dancing in stilettoes in the snow Do you remember? You never understood I had to go By the way, didnt I break your heart? Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart So sorry, I never meant to break your heart But you broke mine Kayleigh, I just want to say Im sorry But, Kayleigh, Im too scared to pick up the phone To hear youve found another lover To patch up our broken home Kayleigh, Im still trying to write that love song Kayleigh, its more important to me, now youre gone Maybe it will prove that we were right Or itll prove that I was wrong
