Well I'm waitin' standin' on the corner
And it's comin' forty past the hour
In the midnight lonely freezin' hour
With my insides churnin' in the gutter
And I'm waitin' forty past midnight
Catchin' rain in the soda light
Won't you come and call me to your window?
Please don't leave me waitin' on the corner
We could have the best time
If you lighten up your life
With my pockets holey in the insi...
You told so many lies, your tongue is black with fireflies
But you spit them out and pretend you're sneezing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts you'd be ninety years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving
Hey, hey, what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would never need it
Hey, hey, what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would ever believe it
It's just...
Spark and Cindy live by their own means
They wouldn't have if I only
know'd where they'd been
And I want to make things a part of my life
And I want to see that
things are going to be right
But if you can't even
stand on your feet
And if you don't own the
air that you breathe
Then it's not for me to say
But I wouldn't live that way
and I wouldn't stand apart
And I wouldn't find the real
and I ...
Go take your bags away
Get out of my home
Get out of my life
I don't want you hanging round
And I don't want you to be my wife
When I go to the cafe
I sit in the seat that faces the mirror
I look at my face today
And I look such a wreck today
I knew you well for five minutes and one day
O-oh no way, josie
I don't ? ? ? ugly views
And I'm not interested in family muse
And ? ? is boring and conv...
Had another dream, oh yeah
The play was rolling slowly
Had another dream, oh yeah
But I could not see you only
Just hold me
'Cos lying in your arms it's you I have
Yeah, lying in your arms it's you I have
This is another time to stay
This is another time to stay
Though I don't think my dreams will see the day
All of us bring a smile
Mine's broken, please stay
Had another dream, oh yeah
The pla...
Your dream make-up is cracked and wearing thin
Your eyes are on your chin, it's getting hard for you
But to make up is only make-believe
And we don't need a scene like this
Whatever happened to the beautiful losers
Whatever happened to the beautiful losers
Your eyes' closed and dreamed of places
That you and I would go, it's getting hard for me to love you
Like I used to, I don't believe, hell...
Before I let you all go
Before I pull you from this show
Before I wave to you
I'd like to say to you
I wish you never to be alone
Besides yourself what can you say
Millions apart and miles away
Besides yourself what do you need
Some feel no pain while others bleed
So if you're going to save my words
Make sure it's this time you deserve
Before I walk away, I know your every day
Will play before...
Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow
Laughed with all his friends
And all the little men who borrow tunes
They heard just yesterday
Davey got us down but we got away
And drank to all the days
We had whiled away
Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase
Then the nightmares come and you get blown away
And up in your room your walls are cold
You find your head is holding out
For the welcome ...
I don't want to be another big star
Picking at your cars
Stealing at your clothes
Finding out what you don't know
You don't know
I don't want to be your big star
Picking your calls, saying I don't know
I don't want to be your suitor
Lacking at your feet
Trying to love the things you need
And you know I've heard this before
And you know I've heard it some more
Won't you give me a chance
To brea...
Up through all the streets you go
But little girl don't find her name
We're all gone down roads to homes
Where everybody finds their game
Just behind the street she goes
Where she'll be found behind her wheel
'Cos it's the only place she knows
That makes her know just how she feels
'Cos you're the biggest thing that I see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down, you haunt me
And beg m...

Forgive the ignorance
Of man with money in his hand
How can we freely agree?

I want more than me and you
The more I want the more it scares me
I will put my faith in you
Won't you be my missionary?
I can't
Can't get back to the baseline
Had too much of waiting up
Had too much of things I tell you
It's the only way and it's love
Fill my cup, oh, I've said too much
I can't
Can't get back to the baseline
Oh, I can't
Can't get back to the baseline
I've been on freight trai...
Charlie Brown says
"No one promised this when I was a kid
When my days were filled with carousels
Fairground rides and c***leshells"
Kicking pebbles on a beach
When time couldn't reach me
And tears were just a memory left to be learned
Now days catch me without an overcoat
Five o'clock shoes full of snow
All rained out, nowhere to go
Memories are sure to find you
No matter how fast you run

I went down to Chelsea Walk
Where the sun doesn't shine at all
And I went looking for something for me
But I came back with nothing at all
Except an old man who could not see
But he said that he knew God
Chelsea Walk, oh, Chelsea Walk
Oh, Chelsea Walk
Now I've been down to Chelsea Walk
Where the sun just refuses to shine
And I ran back to my little room
And I jumped straight into a bottle of w...
Cool cool water where I rest my head
You keep me running to a single bed
Yellow moon rising on the riverboat wild
You keep me running like a child
Yellow moon rising on the riverboat wild
You keep me running like a child
Bobby don't know
He's got a funny way of seeing situations
Call him on the phone
And ain't it funny but he never seems to come home
Bobby don't know
He's got a funny way of se...
Well, I got a problem
And it just won't wait
I've been getting on one
With the man who guards your gate
When he says you're sleeping
In your hideaway
It is what he's keeping back
That gives your game away
Come quit your crazy lowdown ways
You're walking astray
Come quit your weary worn out ways
You're walking astray
And I'd like to say that I like this
More than I do today
Yes, I got a problem...
It's live... make up your own words
She nails down moon beams and talks in double time
Stumbling down to wherever she goes
I live in the meantime and I get frustrated
So I put my wager on Debris Road
It keeps me running down Debris road
I'm not scared but it's somewhere I cling to
All the places I wanna go
Still
They won't cast a shadow on my Debris road
I get frustrated looking for moonbeams
They always fall where I never go

Lay down your head, and look to your window
Where do you go, when its not where you're goin'?
And how do you see, when the light isn't shinin'?
Where you could be, if you worked out the timin'?
An' how does it feel
When the world comes on so real and true?
An' how do you do the things you do to you?
If I were a king, and you were a lady
What would I sing, to say what I'm sayin'?
An' would you ...
You drive the away the best of you
It's all that's left to say
You leave me with the rest of you
You've made it on your way
I need a call to save from you
Just before you go
The more that I've been close with you
The door was always closed
Drive away now
There's nothing you should say
Drive away now
But drive us anyway
Gettin' up and straight you go
There's nothing left to say

Emily Chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew she'd turn out that way
She turned her back and she'll be okay, but she's not okay at all
Every night with the radio on, Emily fears that the day won't come
The moon is there to do her harm, she's not all right at all
Don't get arrested, don't buy a machine gun
You're not on the run and you're not on the scene
You're not so cool and you're not a j...
I got a better love
Got a whole new prose
Got a whole new goal and I gonna find love
I?m gonna fall in love and it makes me cold
And I gotta move my heels
Gotta move outta here
Gotta change my lane and I, I commend you now
Yes, I told you soon, so that you?d know now
And at times
Everything comes at the right time
And at times
Everything comes at the right time
I, never understand

Your face is looking like
Someone you forgot you used to know
You were looking for rhymes and reason
They forgot the things you used to know
You came to rely on good fortune
Your mother's screaming low
With the sky in the eye
And jump through the window
You've made your own room at the top
Well it's getting thin on air
Still you look at me from your most expensive chair
And when you're feeling...
Mother and Stan, don't blame yourself for Rose
She was out there playing in the road
Better to let her know not to forget
All that schooling goes right through their heads
They take back all when you give them loving
Fall you to your knees then give back nothing
But looking through love, you know there is something so real
Father and son, you're in this one so deep
I could always lull myself t...
Brilliance of my fleeting mind
Chimes like voices in foreign caves
Chimes in time
Takes me where I'm going
Alone my fleeting mind is knowing
Believe it when I pin it down
That's not hard to forget
With my hands upon my knees
You will steal from my fleeting mind
Remember all our words
They are just smoke rings in the rain
That's just a poem in brilliant places
But poets, they are too grim
They ...
Renegades and shifting shades
And the light's in your face
And you friend's talk lying
But some of them got flowers in their room
When it's on and you're falling on every floor
That you're hoping to score
And you're every night ? ? ?
But some of them got flowers in their room
But some of them got flowers in their room
But some of them got flowers in their room
Hear the word that the man on the...
Fly me - my hands are free
Won't you fly me
? ? ? what you're dreaming of
Write it down and look above
For something that will tell you I watch you
I'm looking for to do
Won't you fly me - my hands are
Won't you fly me
Picture floating in a silent row
Crying out for those who've never learnt
That life is just a story you pass through
While dreaming what to do
Won't you fly me
Won't you please ...
I?ll take your side and I?ll take you into town
And there you?ll search around
You hope she must be waiting now
Found what you need don?t push her too far
Don?t ever let her see you down
I hope she?s waiting now
It?s not that she has been around
Too long to never try
Too long to never try
For every corner there?s a way out
And every day that you lose
There?s a pay out, there?s a pay out
And if...
I think everybody's after me
They wanna know just what I feel
Pushing wires under my nose
Everybody's standing on my toes
Telling the world what I should know
You said you'd seen life from near the floor
You opened every closing door
Thank you for always being there
And all the nights in which we shared
And we know we're always here
And if it gets you down
You know I'll always be around
Guess ...
Come my way, oh, I say before you go
Tie my laces and chain me sound below
Hold my side, God must be feeling so cold
It?s all my deepest, I see them, there they go
Free my name, just give me love
Free my name, just give me loving now
I?ll give my day?s report and send you them intact
It?s just like yesterday but now I?m screaming tired
And now you?re really saying this house is not my home
So ...
Well I used to be a listener
There was nothing left to get
About what you are
And what you haven't been yet
Some of them like to tell a story that is long and old
Couchin' in indifference and the wine that they were sold
To get away, away, away
Just get away, away, away
Well someone's got to tell that its not deserved
Rehearsed or written down, by playwrights over time
Just pickin' up on a ner...
When she blows the candle flame to smoke
She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes
And Monday she?ll go down town standing naked in the road
You may know what I am but who I am you don?t know
She?ll run across the mustard dust sand
She'll scream down the wind and the sea is in a cold
Like when in holiday homes and houses that have sweets confectionary
Sandcastles and d...
Give me a letter
The sooner the better
I'm out of here
Give me a card
And I'm not waiting hard
To hear you
All I'm trying to do
Is all you want to say
Give me a letter
The sooner the better
I'm away from you
Trying so hard
I'm taking a car
And I'll lose you
All I want to do
Is all I'm trying to say
What I'm trying to say
Is what I'm trying to do
Give me a letter
The sooner the better

She never has to stop and think
Never makes you lose a thing
She is so enchanting
I always have to stop a while
Cross my hands and close my eyes
I am so demanding
When she smiles, she opens wide
Touching you inside to lie
Life can be so shaking handed
Nervously you're shaking signs
Life is better taken blind
Still you're left so disenchanted
Giving it all away
Giving it all away
You always hav...
Where do you go
When it is all complicating
Where do you go
When you steer it all away
Where will you find
The nerve to find it complicating
What will you find
When you steer it all away
I could go on but it's only conversation
I could go on but it seems likes persuasion
Where do you go
You know that it's complicating
Where do you go
When you steer it all away
I could go on but it's only conve...
Something I need from you
I really want to know
Like the way you do
I've been burned before
But not this way by you
And I need to know
I can trust you with my life
On the Golden Gate bridge
Or a fire in the night
Or the edge of the knife
And I really hope
I can have you all my life
A fifty-second anniversary
Of the whole of time
Something I need to know
Is any of this true
All the things they ...
We're just half a dream away, sitting on our fences, building up defenses
Making up rules by which we play
We're just half way down the road, staking our positions
But stupid superstitions only give fools too heavy a load
The magpie screeched and my window is shattered
Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered
The fireman tried but the hose was frozen
The cupboard's bare but the door need...
I don?t ever wanna go out like a light
Have you got the right
To lay your burden on me?
Have you got the right
To lay your burden on me?
Is it ever right
Make it all out when it will never be?
But it?s different, so different
So different from before
And it gets no easier
Do you have the right
To come on over so strong?
Does it make it right
When it makes it all so very wrong?
But it?s differe...
Hello monday my old friend
I come with you to talk again
And then again I'm still waiting
There's no point in hanging on
Watching the sun go down
Spinning round and round
Ah... monday morning
I don't know if you are coming
Ah... monday morning
I don't know if you are coming
Hello monday my old friend
I come with you to talk again
And then again I'm still waiting
What's point in hanging on
Watc...
I feel a love that's so hard to bear
Won't you come kiss me and take this despair?
Let the morning time dapple its light in your hair
Like warm running water in snow
But I fear a love of jealousy and pain
Lost in the race 'tween the foolish and vain
Come the morning time whistle and take you away
Where the sun always burns in the winter
Oh, here in my heart
Oh, here in my heart
And I know that...
Don't let my feet get off the ground
Today I'm glad to be standing here
But all the time I spent tunnelling down
To some place where I'm not so clear
I've been holding out for this time
Standing straight in my own line
Was hoping you're making it too
All the hours we were learning to fly
We're chasing night-lights round the room
I can never repay when I learnt from you
I know you're seeing it ...
Today I find all my world is slowly turning blue
How about you
I walk around with my head in the sky and it is blue
How about you
Today I find all the things I held so high are in the ground
I don't know why, I don't know where
I don't know why you really care
I only know that my world's turning blue
How about, how about you
Today I see a million faces in shades of fading blue
How about you
I ...
Shirley was a lady whose teeth were made of gold
She danced before the music and everything it told
Huckleberry grove
Where the music plays into tomorrow night
Huckleberry grove
Only fools would need to argue or to fight
Shirley had eight children and each of them were told
You got joy for singing burning in your soul
Huckleberry Grove
Where the idiots can't ease you of your mind
Huckleberry G...
So I said I?m on the road so I need a car
And I know that I?m getting alive
And I say I got faith and a season
And I say that?s where I?m going to
I get a need and I?m wanting to please it
I got a face and I?m wanting to feel it
The more I feel is the more that I need it
The more I need is the less I believe it
Well I want a good love by my side
Keep on getting out of love and my pride
And I k...
I am the news, and I'll say no more
I am the stranger at your door
I am the deep beneath the sea
The threat of flood, tide rising
I am the banks bearing refugees
Always a 'cause, not solution
A constant fear or a fleeting joy
Your only friend who needs using
I am the news, and I'm in your face
And I'll take my profit from your faith
I am the face beneath the mask
The catalyst explosions
I am t...
I'll die before I get to sleep
When screaming shadows haunt my dreams
I'm cold and soaking wet when daylight shows its face
This fear will always get in your way
And I can hear so much
That I miss it everyday
It finds me deep in love and deeper down the lane
I don't know too much but I know what I want to say
I Just Need Myself
Please leave me when you see me fall
Oh please I have to climb tha...
When the night-time creeps on in
I will be there, I will be there
Come on and let me in
I will be there, I will be there
Don?t ever be afraid when I say
I love you, I love you
And I?ll take the time to say I love you
Come on, don?t shoulder hurt
Take it on back, don?t make it worse
Come the night and I will call
I?ll take it back, you?ll take it all
Don?t ever be afraid when I say
I love you, ...
I'm gonna take a walk by the lemonade lake
Let my feet get wet and the grass in my face
Rolling up in the summertime setting ablaze
Throwing stones and laughing on the way home
Lah, lah, lah, lah...
I'm on a night-time hunting on the horn of a car ? ?
But the brakes seem ? ? ? on a winter song
Scattered back, slip around and I'm mouthing a glass
Harbour lights remind you of another song

I'm not one to judge that much
And anyway I just wanna get high on you
But thirteen year old girls in hotels
On the other side of the world
Seems a little much for me
Yeah, I wanna stay alive with you
But they look you in the eye
And anyway they'll always slip a smile at you
But thirteen year old girls in rat-holes
On the other side of the world
They're gonna lie to you
Yeah, I wanna stay aliv...
I'm going away to see my own
And tread my earth
I've got no ordinary gain
By to set my worth
I get enough but I get too late
And if I fall down on the road
Then I won't get grazed
I cannot let you take my time
Or 'til my earth
You've had enough of life to see
That it shakes my nerve
All of these things I can't get straight
And if I'm falling to the road
Then I won't get grazed
I've had two of ...
If I gave you my heart, where would you be?
Would it mean nothing if not for me?
If I gave you my eyes, what would they see?
Would they see nothing if not for me?
But I gave you my hand and my sign and my soul on the earth
And I gave up on truth when I heard about the worst
I lived out of love when I gave it away
And I sold off my soul when there's no one to pay
If I gave you my hand, what wou...
She is home
Tellin' she's the one
Who makes you well
She makes you feel okay
She is home
Tellin' she's the one
Who makes you go
And sends you on your way
But she's getting something
You start to feel
She blows the faster deal ?
She is there
Making up the face
To hide the scar
You won't lurk beneath it
She is there
She's got more than anyone
And so I've always thought she must deserve it
And if...
I'm in my field, I'm in my stream
And I'm love I'm in my tree
I take a walk nine hundred miles
I cross the stile, I'm in my field
And I'm in love and it's for free
I'm in my field, I'm in my field
I'm in my field, I'm in my stream
And I will yield I'm in my field
And I'm in love across the stile
Come in my field just you and me
We'll take a walk nine hundred miles
And I'm in love we'll count t...
Is she coming home, I'll leave the light on
But through times and space she'll go
If she's coming home, she won't tell me
And I wonder if I should know
Wonder if I should feel something
Wonder if I should know
But it's dark in here
Tip-toe softly, do not wake her
As she sleeps so very slow
Dim the light on her day dream
But her dreams you'll never know
Wonder if I should feel something
Wonder ...
Sonny went and flipped away and said, "He had to go"
How could you ever say he never stayed alone?
And how could I belong with anyone you know?
Come on every line's a line I'll never know
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Oh, it's a terrible thing
Sometimes, I can get along alone enough
Backing everyone away and never have enough
And how could I be playing every line for you?
Look at the things today...
Who is that upon the stairs
Acting like he don't know where
And who is layin' down all the cards
And giving me the wrong things to say
And like a wheel on the table
He's a Cain to my Abel, ohh
It's my shadow
A confessor to my dreams
Castin' ribbons from my feet
Oh, into my day
It's my shadow
Makin' eyes until the sun
Lights the daytime as she comes
Oh, into my day
Happy in the time when I woul...
Jane, she got excavated
By a trader dealing in old lines
Then she got a papers
From a mailer, telling her more lies
So, here we go
Down an endless road where we know
Nothing good here will ever grow
We're wasting our own time
Says, she knows more than she lets on
That's how she gets on when she is outside
When the wind comes on harder
She needs a shelter of their warm lies
So, here we go
Down ...
It's warm outside
But I can hear the snow
Falling on my window
I had to go away
To somewhere deeper down
I know it's my mistake
To take off out of this town
And June becomes July
This road's on fire
And my trains running slow
It rains against my window
I had to get away
To somewhere no-one knows
I know it's my mistake
To take off now in this way
And June becomes July
The air is thin
When you'r...
You keep your pretty girls
Chained inside the dungeon
And diamonds and pearls
You keep them a-coming
Give them all of your affection
You keep your naughty boys
Locked inside the kitchen
And when they make a noise
A swish of your hand keeps them
Screaming out for your affection
I don't know the whys or wherefores
I don't what's wrong or right
I just know at night
You give them all of your affec...
You've been linin' your pockets for no other reason
Than to buy up the things that I gave without reasonable pay
Well, hello my friend
You know I've been away
I'm not askin' for much
But please remember my name
'Coz you've been linin' your pockets for no other reason
Than to buy up the things that I gave without reasonable pay
Well I wondered through fortune
And I flirted with fame
But we neve...
When she wakes up
My day will take her
When I'm someone new
Time after time you told me it was the truth
Time after time you lied to me through your tooth
How can you sing when everyone writes your song?
You think you pull the strings and I get strung along
Baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa
Baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa
Baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa
Baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa
So cry, won't you cry?
You should have saved that for youth
And does it ...
We came down the stairs
And hardly said a word
And all through the day
That's all we heard
And we wanted to know
Where mariners went wrong
And all through the day
We played the same song
And I let the wind blow down my leg
And I let the rain wash over my face
'cause I've seen love
Falling in the rain
Lightening up the sun
To show you that you
Are here again
We lived by the door
And we hardly k...
The mechanical wonder is, it's just a noise in my room
And I'm chasing the wonder and it's just a hole in my tune
And the radio plays but it, but it don't sing a song
And the mechanical thunder is what is all going wrong
And I walk down the road and I, I awake in a tune
But the mechanical thunder is, it's just a noise in my room
And we rode it once on a thundering night
So I walk with you wher...
We used to say
That come the day
When we'd all be making songs
Or finding better words
These ideas never lasted long
The way is up
Along the road
The air is growing thin
Too many friends who tried
Were blown off this mountain with the wind
Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
When your time is up you're gonna meet all your friends
Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
If y...
Summer death, slow step
Walk behind the mother of the thirteen year old brown-eyed boy
Attitudes, attitudes
Sloganized by middle boots
The men who slogged the brown-eyed boy
And it's the end of everything that you've been told about
Decency, honesty
And it's the end of holding back and breaking bones and building bombs
And hanging witch-hunts conducted by men of such opinion
Repeat first verse...
I've got Mona Lisa eyes
I can stare through all your lies
Maybe they will come tomorrow x3
But it's only another day away
Look down on everything in sight
Look down on everything and say goodbye
And it's only another day away
I've got Mona Lisa Eyes x3
And it's only another day away
Day away...
I've got mona lisa eyes
I can stare through all your lies
Maybe they will come tomorrow x3
But it's only another day away
Look down on everything in sight
Look down on everything and say goodbye
And it's only another day away
I've got mona lisa eyes x3
And it's only another day away
Day away...
I bless you well, won?t you move things over?
The night is moving and I?ve set my foolish fate
The moon is cold, let?s move over
The night is moving and I?ve set my foolish fate
So I stop and stare
Here comes your eyes, here comes your eyes
Do they really smile? Your eyes really smile

The blue awakening comes to your bed
The moon is cold, well, let?s m...
What are you gonna do today, Mrs. Jones?
Are you gonna chase the pain away, Mrs. Jones
Or leave it sitting there waiting outside your door?
Hoping to find the things you hoped would tell you more
About the dreams that seem to slip away
What are you gonna do today, Mrs. Jones?
Are you going to face the bills to pay, Mrs. Jones
Or leave them sitting there waiting outside your door?
Hoping to fin...
My brother Sarah
Doesn't know what clothes to wear
It's a dilemma
To get the stuff to match your hair
But mother and father
Sister and brother
Say they just don't know

Really wish you understood
Why he's got to show it
For it to be any damn good

You're a southern man
You're a northern soul
You're a west-ender
You got eastern soul
But you're no one at all
You're a rich man
You're a poor man
You're this man
Then you're that man
But you're no one at all
You're a liar
You're a winner
And expert and a beginner
But you're no one at all
When the wind blows
That's when you know
That your nose grows
And your face shows
That you're no one at al...
Few words you say won't make a sound
I hear what no one says
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
It's a cultural shift, it's the North Atlantic drift
Americana and a rule Britannia
And the moon, yes, we own that too
And where the Euphrates meets the other river
Is now the home of the devil and the liar
And the pyre we plan to make is just the drift leaving its wake, ah
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
And the films you want to watch and t...
Oh collector, I?m so sorry
You had the notion, I was rolling in the money
No, I?m sorry but I?ll pay you
No worries
Let?s sing softly
Let?s sing softly
Oh, so softly
Not so heavy
I?ve been heavy with my fortune
Like a crystal and a hammer
I?m so sorry, oh collector
I?m away now in a hurry
Let?s sing softly
Let?s sing softly
Oh, so softly
Not so heavy
Get up, all you fighters
Don?t you lie here...
Even while I've got my word it goes on and on
On and on, it goes on and on
Seen my fortune and I lift my words and they are everything
Oh oh, they are everything
Sailing boats and open roads can seem to pass you by
But sailing boats and open roads can pass you in disguise
Seen my days and oh I swear they go on and on
Oh oh, they go on and on

Father forgive me but I don?t care
Taking off the things they wear in lines
She?s got a family, now they stay inside
Don?t think she?ll make it home tonight
And I?m on my way to the next town
And I?m on my way in a hurry
And I?m on my way, my head down and down and down
And I?m on my way, don?t worry
Don?t look straight at me, get that straight
Get out and leave before the next day
He made it ...
When the dream came I held my breath with my eyes closed
I went insane like a smoke-ring day when the wind blows
Now I won't be back 'till later on, if I do come back at all
But you know me, and I miss you now
Doo, doo, doo
In a strange game I saw myself as you knew me
When the change came and you had a chance to see through me
Well the other side is just the same
You can't tell my dream is re...
No I never knew you
We both went to different schools
Me so sacred of the rules
You chasing all the girls
But it seems to me
We never grew up
We just got ourselves free
Inventing what we could be
To buy all their curls
Get up and dance, get up and smile
Get up and drink to the days
Who are gone in the shortest while
She was just 18, she collapsed
And they took her away
She didn't make it for m...
And it looks like one of those days
When my valentine ain't so funny, yeah
Ain't so funny, yeah
And it looks like one of those days
When I'm holding the same old conversation
Losing concentration
And it looks like one of those days
When my valentine ain't so funny, yeah
Ain't so funny, yeah
And it looks like one of those days
When I'm holding the same old conversation
And it looks like one of ...
Saturday afternoon
The sunshine pours like wine
Through your window
But I know that golden june can turn an empty grey
'gainst your window
And I feel like
I'm on the outside of a circle
And if I walk by the trees
I catch the falling leaves
If the wind blows
But I know that all this means
Is whiling on the hours
Watching side-shows
And I feel like
I'm on the outside of a circle
Will I turn my c...
I heal the waiting hand
I cannot understand
I feel away again
I hear the crashing waves
I fear not for where she waits
I cannot play again
Oh, I know the reason why
I know the reason
Pacing up and facing off
Pacing up and facing off

penny pinching rainy heaven day
no-one talks at night
they scream and fight and say too much
my wife dreams all days
my life says it has heard enough

All the people under broken homes
Don't wanna fight no more
All the people nursing shattered bones
Don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in peace
So we've gotta fight some more
And all those who are in foreign lands
Don't wanna fight no more
And all those who lost their feet or hands
Don't wanna fight no more

We gotta fight some more

There's a question
Everybody's shouting out a question
There's a question
Everybody's shouting out a question
Have you got an answer, politician?
Have you got an answer, mathematician?
There's a question
Ringing out a clear loud question
It's a question
Giving you one in the head, it's a question
Do you have an answer, theologian?
A better answer than a politician
There's a question
There's a ...
I see double up ahead
Where the riverboat
Swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
Like a king who stalks
The wings and shoots a dove
And frees an eagle instead
It's more or less the same
As the things that you said
I see trouble up the road
Like the things you found
In love are by the way
And like to cheat on your soul
Like the best and worst
Of thoughts that lose control
Before you...
When you're starting to choke
Take some pills with your coke, it's inspirational
When you're life is a mess
Light one more cigarette, it's so logical
Well, it's something in your mother can't abide
But it's something that I freely prescribe
Take yourself for a ride, it never felt so good
As the night that you and I played Robin Hood
Stealing from the backrooms of our minds
Stealing from a time...
Gonna sail on my boat and keep it afloat forever
Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together
I got a waiting ticket won't you sail it?
Nobody's who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying
Going to throw out a rope and keep it afloat it's granted
And call it Cressy Freedom, Independence or Tansy
I'm gonna wake and take us all to where, oh
Nobody's gonna talk me down by stormy weather

In a second hand car you ran away with him
You didn't get too far before he made you cry
And he beat on you, oh, he never treated you
More something on his shoe walk on by, on by
It's time, time to run away from him
A man don't act that way and you know he'll never change
It's a way to love, knocked down and bruises too
And it's a way for him to knock down and use you
I'll send a ticket to you...
The village girl, ain't it just the way?
Grows her hair long and paints her face
Nobody calls her anyway, it's a shame
Here we go, she knows it all
Writes it all down to tell us all
Nobody hears her at all anymore
She's been writing
She's been writing
She's been
She's been writing
At the fighting bar she knows the law
She'll just get up and sock you on the jaw
After all, she's been in love bef...
If anyone rises at 6.31 and fakes all day that
They're having their fun
They never did get it right since they got it so low
To anyone drinking the morning away
The afternoon will prove a mistake
They never will get it right, now they've got it so low
And we laugh and we drink
And we teach ourselves not to think
We never did get it right since we got it so low
To all the faces that freeze for ...
So sad, so sad
So sad, so sad
I didn't want to love you
And you do want nothing at all
So sad, so sad
So sad, so sad
There's a cold break in my dream
Keeps turning round everything you've said
It's so naked in my brain
Makes it hard to be by myself
Repeat opening verse
And I didn't want to love you
And I'm feeling the pain
Stop watching the best things we loved in our life
Was the wind and the...
You were arriving
Of this I'm sure
You were just hiding
All around your door
That would be telling
And it's not for free
You're all the rage
When you're out with me
Gotta do something
Something for free
Gotta do something for me
It ain't complaining
Ah, just you see
Gotta do something for me
You won't be foolish
Of this I'm sure
But I'm feeling used
When I'm 'round your door
That ain't complai...
These are the best times
That you'll ever have
Don't throw it away because
You're younger that he is
He's your father
And he'll help you
If you give him
He's your father
He'll deserve you
If you give him time
These are the best times
So we'll march in time
The sun is too ripe to let
The moon shine on your eyes
Repeat chorus
These are the straight ways
Don't make it long
Don't get yourself lost...
There's wheat in the field
And water in the stream
And salt in the mine
And an aching in me
I can no longer stand and wonder
'Cos I'm driven by this hunger
So I'll jug some water
Bake some flour
Store some salt and wait the hour
While I'm thinking of love
Love is thinking for me
And the baker will come
And the baker I'll be
I am depending on my labour
The texture and the flavour
Straighten your collar and smile 'cause you've never been lazy
'Cause you in a style, call the shots every day
Soul driver, don't hurry
It's my timing, it's not your worry
I'm taking my time, I'm laying my roots
Since I've been so far away
You're such a practical man, you work so hard for your living
You make me understand, that it's all in the giving
Soul driver, don't hurry
It's my timing, i...
Spark and Cindy live by their own means
They wouldn't have if I'd only known where they'd been
And I want to make things a part of my life
And I want to see that things are going to be right
But if you can't even stand on your feet
And if you don't own the air that you breathe
Then it's not for me to say
But I wouldn't live that way
And I wouldn't stand apart
And I wouldn't find the real
And I...
I want to know how it feels to be
Alone as it appears to me
As the start of the day is the end of the night
So the end of the night is the start of the day
I know that it?s true because everybody knew
Before me, so where can I go now?
If the start of the day is the end of the night
The end of the night is the start of the day
And once it has gone it will never come back again
Well, we know whe...
Gonna take it step by step
Little by little, that's all
And though it may be a long time
If you and I'm strong, that's all
Winter froze us like a blue Monday
So you and I we battened our defenses overnight
Come the spring, and I'll be on the road then
I just hope that you'll have got a hold on feeling all right
We're gonna take it step by step
Little by little, that's all
And though it may be ...
When she spoke her face was framed with suspended motion
Laughing at all her friends and their mothers notion
I raised to try to see if I could believe her
Knowing her thoughts could not be one to ? ? ?
Everybody's doing something
Very slowly doing nothing
When she woke she spoke about the latest dance craze
Spinning me round her thumbs - transpelled and two-faced
I came round; my shoes were g...
I want to say yes to what you say
If there's a movement then I want to sway
Get a piece of the action, uh huh, uh huh
And I want to see you in the crowd
And I want to point your face out very loud
Get a piece of the action, uh huh, uh huh
Don't you want a piece of the action?
Don't you want a piece of the action?
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
'S**-o-fact', it slips in ...
Resting so alone
Way back home
Waiting for a long
Way to go
Nothing if I take you back
I'd rather never take you back for you
Waiting so fast
For a way to go
Wrestling with the past
Long way to go
Nothing if I take you back
I'd rather never take you back for you
I got more than I can have can't really say
I get more than I can use day to day
I get more time to take you back
I'd rather never ta...
Lay her gently, gently, slowly
Lay her in the ground
Lay her gently, gently, slowly
Lay her in the ground
I don't know if she'll come at all
Lay her gently, gently, slowly
Lay her in the ground
Lay her gently, gently, slowly
Lay her in the ground
I don't know if she'll come at all
I don't know if she'll come at all
Tele, he's the one he knows what to say
Knows how to find his own way
He knows the roads by night and by doorways
But watching the light in a hall
Won't change a thing or say at all
What it is that he says?
Still he says that, "I don't know"
Still he says that, "I don't know"
I don't, why I think about so much?
When I don't know what it is I can't say
And I wouldn't change a thing if I believe...
Henry took out all the wrong and never thought
Do you know what he'd say, it's a beautiful day
Henry took out all his money and found he had none
Do you know what he'd say, it's a beautiful day
And he would not buy the things that you were handing down
And he would not clear it off for you and leave you lying down
Henry found the love and he found it just today
Do you know what he'd say, it's ...
Aah
Saturday
Afternoon, the sunshine
Pours like wine
Through your window
And I know
Golden June can turn
An empty gray
Against your window
And I feel like
I'm on the outside
Of the circle
If I walk
If I walk, if I walk
By the trees
I'll catch the falling leaves
If the wind blows
But I know
But I know, but I know
All this means
Is whiling on the hours
Watching side shows
And I feel like
I'm on ...
And the clock struck fifteen hours ago
It is shining and the man who is wasting on the wall
Looks a lot like Jesus and a little bit resembling
The man in the mirror in the hall
And I rose-trayed sailors and you still shining
And I'm still waiting not to go and I lied for sailors
And I lied for certain and I lied to everyone I know
I believe in God and I believe in loving
But I don't speak to a...

I never saw it as the start it's more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pots
Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot
I laid my plans in solid rock
Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling it's a holiday
You and I should ride the coast
And wind up in our favorite coats just miles...
It's not the way that you look
Or the way that you comb your hair
I know we'll always be there
By the look, by the book
And your troops and your devil may care
I know we'll always be there
I know we'll always be there
And by the way your eyes are shining through
There's nothing to do but wake up in light
And like the way your eyes they shine with the sun
And lighten everyone who wakes up in ti...
Brother don't lose that fire-stick no way
The night is coming thin
Might tire to light that stick
Brother don't lose that stick no way
Don't lose that heating fork no way
Dark ? ? ? 's coming down
Need someone to eat off the ground
Need something to eat ? ? ? today
Brother don't lose your bares no way
Don't know which side we're on
Blue then it's green then it's brown
Mine's hard and it's red ...
It's so nice on the seventh floor
I'm taking you there ? ? ? ?
I get scared I can't touch the ground
But I feel safe when my friends come round
Ever so nice - live on the seventh floor
Ever so nice - I'm safe ? ? ?
So much fun on the seventh floor
Everyone laugh when you walk through the door
I get scared when my friends come around
I look at the walls and swallow most down
Ever so nice - live...
Never left at all, you were there before
Never let it go, now I need some more
But you did confuse me, you get it on, get it on
If I had to use me I'd be there in the song
And the song goes on
Ah yeah, and the song goes on
I've been by the sides
Wouldn't you agree with me?
Never fought it off, kept away, oh, so bad
Didn't like your world or the way you had
You secure your choice, you're around...
You are the one who makes it different
But I am the one who makes the waves
All down the line this makes us different
So all our dreams may stay awake
You know sometimes things get so strange
And all we do may go astray
Wrapped in your youth, these things won't harm you
And they don't hit you like a train
Say, won't you see her?
I heard she's waiting at your door
Oh, I hope you won't keep near...
These are the days
You have been given
These are the ones
These are the ones
These are the times
We have been given
These are the ones
These are the ones
And my dreams are holding
And my heart is open
These are the times
They won't be forgiven
These are the ones
These are the ones
These are the days
Please don't forsake them
These are the ones
Is everyone
And my dreams are holding
And my heart...
Third shade of blue
The sky and you
Like the rain over the sea
Third shade of red
The lover's bed
Crimson blood and rose
Third shade of green is all that you feel
Just like my love
But half as unreal, half as unreal
And my love
And my love
And my love
And my love
And my love
And my love
And my love
Love, love
And my love
And my love
All in my heart, it always begins
She keep on trying to make this situation win
Sometimes, you should hold it back
Just keep on the rails on the straight and narrow track
And I know I've been wrong before
But I really believe this day should last forever
These times, we're traveling in
Trying to trying to do your worst to keep on in
But how could you say, that there's nothing left
I'll come ar...
I get this understanding
It's like a living breath
And it grooves with the times
And it swings with the tune
And it flows until the end of rest
I get this understanding
It knocks at every door
And it keeps you awake
With a sweet elevate
And it keeps you running back for more
I get this understanding
On a night like tonight
And I'm driving and driving
And never arriving
But the way I'm singing ...
For all of her diction, her self medication
She fell down and dented her nose and laughed at the coroners
Desperately warning her, watch now the way that it goes
And she knows
She's living at the top of the world
In need of salvation she spoke to her mother
Who died in the service of king
What is the meaning of wallflowers receiving a glance
It would mean everything
And she thinks
She's living...
Where do you go? Buttoned in your favourite coat
Stepping out to a different world and you might be home late
And where are you now? Staring at your favourite box
The one with the traveller's cross on the road past the gate
But if you find yourself standing on the corner
While you're thinking of a different world
Then you might see me waiting on the corner
Staring through you in your different...
This England made me between the war and a rockets flying
You found the crib that saves me and teach me wrong and right
Then the world was talking, it never got its chance to say
When there's too much talking, nobody hears the words you say
You won't see baby now I want you
These blind communications only last throughout the year
And half of what we're saying is halfway in a truth
And blind co...
Take that face right off yours
It?s not yours, love, it?s not yours, love
You keep yours in a secret cup
It?s flowing over, it?s flowing over
And I gave all that I gave you
And I gave all that I dared
And I took it that I?d claim you
And I took it that you would care
But you love you more than I do
And I?d love you to be right
The waves may crash around you
And shipwreck you at night
I?m wavin...
By the way you went, you take it all
And make another sender
By the way it often takes you by surprise
You know the mender
And oh, you play it strange
And anyway
We all got a little bit of something
We all got more than we bargained for
Got a need for something
But you and I, we made it more
Ain't gonna make another play today
I know, I'm waitin' on a sender
Ain't gonna take my weight until yo...
I don't like this
Anymore than you
In fact I'm scared
At the top of the stairs in the dark
Throw away all the dreams you had
Slow and broke
And just for you
You were barely there
Hey little girl
Where's your momma gone?
Has she left you scared
At the top of the stairs in the dark
It's too late for come backs
And I've been wrong before
Now I need, I need no more
Except for you makin' up the sid...
I'm feeling something
Could be nothing
There's something new
And I feel excited
Close to frightened
There's something new
And I just can't face the change
There's something new
When today ain't yesterday what can I do?
I feel emotion
Endless commotion
And set in sail
I feel excited
Close to frightened
That it might fail
What can I do?
You are amazing
It's the truth
And it's often fading
Without you
I don't feel the wind blow
I don't feel the hard rock
I don't feel it when it breaks your heart
I don't feel it all get
Too far from the start
You are a lady
It's the truth
And it's often shady
Behind you
I don't feel the hollow
I don't feel it all broke
I don't need it when you make your mark
I don't live in malice
I need a morn...
And if I could hold you
Where would you belong?
Sitting here to reason
How the world's gone wrong
And if I could listen
To half the words you say
Would your pathway glisten?
Help you on your way
Oh, you've got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh, you've got it so bad
Worse than any other
If I was in your shoes
Would it be the same?
Would you sit in silence
While I dish out the blame?
A...
