Fade into the distance
Paler and paler and
Fade into the wallpaper
Slowly when i dont look
The more that i will you
The less it hurts inside
Time on my own is like cool fresh air
After summer sunlight
You fade away
Beautifully dissolved
And my profile is clear
Ready to be resolved
You were my back door key
When there was a queue to get in
Maybe i was a tease to laugh at you
Eating out of that tin
But its hard not to be who i am
When i feel so at home
Theres nothing more sexy
Than watching someone who doesnt know
They are being watched and
You fade away
Beautifully dissolved
And my profile is clear
Ready to be resolved
Fade into the distance
Paler and paler and
Fade into the wallpaper.

Show it to me one more time
Give it a try say that you were wrong
And i was right
Theres no one to blame
Id prefer it wasnt me
I dont chase fools or make rules
Saying you and me are meant to be
No, no, no, no, no ...
Said it in basic french
Ive slept with someone
I love her 'cause she looks like you
Theres no one to blame
You just look the same
Do i really have to choose?
No, no, no, no, no ...
In a hotel undercover
Heard you speaking through my new lover
Im not to blame were all the same
Youll be tired of me when he gets tired of you
No, no, no, no, no ...
Bringing it down
Down to my level
Where you think i am
Bringing it down, down down
Down to my level
Where you think i am
Come down, down
Down to my level
I know youll understand
Down down down
Down to my level
I know youll understand

Saw the future to the past
Saw the silence that is now
Soaked it up in a cloth
Hung it up with old rows
Something like that
Oh god its all coming back
Something like that
Something like that
Something like that ...
I was calm sure of things
I put on your boots
And started to sing
What a life which one do i choose
You or her her or you
Ill wait a while and have some fun with this
Have some fun
Something like that
Oh i'm so coming back
Something like that
Something like that
Something like that ...
Something like that
Oh god its all coming back
To see things you way
I have to step out of me
And look out of you
Into me
Something like that
Something like that
Something like that ...

Watching cartoons turning their bodies inside out
With a whack of a hammer I'm feeling you lemsips
For three days your body has hidden
For three days your brain has been switched off
It's just a cold and we're just in love and I'll
Remember this just like a birthday

The bird cage has left its door on the latch
The bird could fly
Whether it wants to is another cage
The cage that we're happy with
Like a light show the left to the right
Of car lights on the ceiling
It's just a cold
And we're just in love
And I'll remember this just like a birthday

It's a scandal I'm here lots of glasses on walls
In the dark the bird shit smells worse
And I'll remember this
Just like a birthday

It's just a cold
And we're just in love

You said that i'm the best swimmer
You've seen give me a ring
You sat there up on you're high chair
Give me a ring
'Cause i can't swim to the edge
Feel im becoming the marie celeste
And there's choosing to live
Instead of changing into a myth
You said im better than deceit
So give it a rest
Hes somewhere drinking 'til he forgets
Who he really is
He built himself up lonely
Wish his life was as peaceful
As the marie celeste
And there's choosing to live
But he'd love he'd love he'd love to be a myth
And there's fight s on the wall
How come pints are so small
Than three months ago
And there's choosing to live
But it could end any minute so he'll drift he'll drift hell drift into myth
Into myth, into myth, into myth
Into myth, into myth, into myth
Into Myth

The streetlights are on for you
Shine behind your curtains
A carnival of cars on wet
Bring shell sounds of oceans
You light your fire
And don't look down
I watch the last light turn off in your flat
And silence the town
Im inside the dark for you
Youre still shining
Look at the mess ive made
The path ive given you
But you light your fire
And don't look down
I watch the last light turn off in your flat
And darken the town
You light your fire
And don't look down
I watch the last light turn off in your flat
And silence the town

Your shadow danced on the side of the train
All i was left with was a memory that was tamed
I know there's no more in you than you
The only thing that could keep us together now is glue

And you daydream and saunter like life was your lover
I know you'll be like that when you're older

You were eyes moving slowly
You were lips that knew their beauty
i was nothing that i really am
Trying to love this man
You daydream
I want the proof
Insulting me more than i insulted you

And you daydream and saunter like life was your lover
I know you'll be like that when you're older

Candy says I've come to hate my body
And all that it requires in this world
Candy says I'd like to know completely
What others so discretely talk about

Candy says I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

You said
Clichs come from the truth
Of beauty that every one feels they can own
Is then truth
Being rubbed out or watered down
We dug a hole
To keep everyone out of view
We dug a hole
Hoped it was big enough.
The water was like creased old leather
Lit by a bare bulb
And we talked about the swirly island waters
They dug a hole
To keep everyone out of view
They dug a hole
??
Late into the night
Through dried up popcorn and sticky carpets
Words danced upwards
To tired out lyrics
They dug a hole
To keep everything out of view
They dug a hole
Warmer than wood, old and safe (?)
Warmer than wood, old and safe (?)
Warmer than wood, old and safe (?)

The river flows, it flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes that's where I want to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town

All he wanted was to be free
And that's the way it turned out to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town

Flow river flow, past the shady trees
Go river go, go to the sea
Flow to the sea

The river flows, it flows to the sea
Wherever it goes that's where I want to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town

Been walking round these city streets
Like I'm walking round my living room
Pavements wet like lino sheets
Autumn light goes dark too soon

Things have changed since the beginning of time
From the beginning of the week
This place has grown and shrunk in a year
Building fall and friends disappear
Things will always move

We're still here moving dust
Talking about friends with wanderlust
You say this city is dead for you
But it will stand long after you

Things have changed since the beginning of time
From the beginning of the week
This place has grown and shrunk in a year
Buildings fall and friends disappear
Things will always move

I never could like, maybe when I was younger
Maybe last week
You left and asked, is it all the same?
All I could say was,
Starlings roost as dusk sets in

Things have changed since the beginning of time
From the beginning of the week
This place has grown and shrunk in a year
Buildings fall and friends disappear
Things will always move

Been walking round these city streets
Like I'm walking round these city streets

I'd pay good money to sort your head out
To blank out the screen
To take us back to simple pleasures and means

It's a barbed little comment
Not big enough for the outside to see
But that's how you love it
That's how you kept it between you and me

All appearance is kept up
Everyone is envious
Make them feel like we've
Got it made
Like a gift that some god sent to us

But it's just a shop window
You're undressing it again
I'll stand where you want me to
Pointing where our relationship's going
I'm not an arrow or dart for throwing

I'd pay good money to get out of this
To turn my back to your dream
I'd pay good money to make this window steam

It's a barbed little comment
Not big enough for the outside to see

A guy what takes his time
I'll go for any time
I'm a fast movin' gal I'd like them slow
Got no use for fancy drivin' while I see a guy arrivin' in low
I'd be satisfied, electrified I know a guy what takes his time.

A hurry up affair, I always give the air,
Wouldn't give any rushin' gent a smile
I could go for any singer who would condescend to linger awhile
An alibi would be supplied to have a guy what takes his time. Ohhh

A guy what takes his time
I'll go for any time
I ??????? touch
I don't like a big commotion, I'm a demon for slow motion or such
Why should I deny that I'm allowed to know a guy what takes his time.

There isn't any fun
In getting something done
If your rushed when you have to make the grade
I can spot an amateur, appreciate a connesseur in his trade
Who'd qualify, no alibi to be the guy what takes his time.

Mirrorball
You lit every dark corner
Made the air feel like it was dancing
Your eyes like an old coloured vinyl
Were hiding in grooves a smile
Like a sweet aria
I was searching for something divine
And ended up making the mundane into my shrine
And we all know
A little but we're tricked by the same sense of wanting
Like silence mistaken for knowing
Like a desert's mistaken for sea
Like a tongue has a mother
We belong to each other
We belong to each other
Moonlight
Is so overrated
Complete darkness
Is so embracive
And as we travelled north
There were crows and seagulls
Stood on either side
Like angels and demons
And we knew what we wanted to hear
The wind singing like your sweet aria
And the clouds blew at shadows
Tricked by the same sense of wanting
Like silence mistaken for knowing
Like a deserts mistaken for sea
Like a tongue has a mother
We belong to each other
We belong to each other.

Window light shines through the leaves of my plant
And a jasmine hoop swings on the highest branch
We took cheap shots at each other on the phone
But it was my last chance before you were gone
You stand there ignoring all my friends
'Cause you said i'm all you can stand
I'm going to tell you half the story so you'll come back
I'm going to tell you half the answers so if you get one
You won't expect it
Don't expect it dear
I'm nobody's fool
I'm nobody's fool
I'm nobody's fool
You stand there ignoring all my friends
'Cause you said i'm all you can stand
I'm going to tell you half the story so you'll come back
I'm going to tell you half the answers so if you get one
You won't expect it
Don't expect it dear
'Cause you said i'm all you can stand

You left me in your house
Full of mysteries full of silence
I looked at all your things 'til i believed they were mine
Sit and relax, sit and relax, sit and relax
And there's no contemplation of our situation
Only at night do we think of our lives
Being a blink of a greater world
But each star we see in the sky is a sun like our own beginnning to die
And our future in their past or the other way round
Come on see it the other way round
Around
He can hear a pin drop from fourty yards
With the door shut
So why can't he hear my heart
Escape through the back door
No, you're like a cup of water
Swimming on a bigger sea
You can't spill out of yourself
Spill on the floor spill onto me
But each star we see in the sky is a sun like our own beginnning to die
And our future in their past or the other way round
Come on see it the other way round
Around
Each star we see in the sky is a sun like our own beginnning to die
And our future in their past or the other way round
Come on see it the other way round
Each star we see
In the sky
Is a sun
Like our own
Beginnning to die
Each star, each star, each star
Each star we see, each star we see
Each star, each star, each star

I started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Oh no that the joke was on me

You only stop talking
When you're sleeping
There's got to be something wrong
With your past
I can't talk if i'm thinking
I'm not gonna move so fast
Is your life so exciting
You have to tell everyone you meet
Try to make it so enticing
You wear your soul out to your feet
Always leave before them
You want them to think
You've got so much to do
Maybe they're not thinking of you
If you would shut up
Someone could save you
Manipulate everything
And that's how i love you
Is your life so exciting
You have to tell everyone you meet
Try to make it so enticing
You wear your soul out to your feet
Always leave before them
You want them to think
You've got so much to do
Maybe they're not thinking of you
Is your life so exciting
You have to tell everyone you meet
Try to make it so enticing
You wear your soul out to your feet
Always leave before them
You want them to think
You've got so much to do
Maybe they're not thinking of you
If you would shut up
Someone could save you
Manipulate everything
And that's how i love you

Driving home from the wedding feeling static
From everything moving
Like the man on his farm who fought for the motorway
To be built on either side
Everywhere tradition draws circles to define
A big round honeymoon a wedding ring a hug from your dad
As you walk in slowly
And waltz back out again
Everywhere tradition draws circles to define
Everywhere tradition draws circles to define
I thought of you all
Up there drawing hearts above their heads
Like plane trails drawn in permanent ink
In permanent ink
Driving home from the wedding
Driving home from the wedding

Our lives were like lines on a map
You could measure us by comparison
She found out if she took off her clothes
She could score men by embarrassment
We were nodding dogs in her company
And she hitch hiked through houses
Going nowhere on the sign
But then she'd leave the sign behind
And she said there was no music
Before i came along
They changed my brain
And I made the beatles appear
I made the beatles appear
Out of nowhere
You can drop me off here
Seeing me at the side of the road
With all the wheel trims
You'd guess my old life comes with me a story for you
But i made the beatles
And I could even invent you

However you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits
Whatever you need, however so slight
Whenever it's real, whenever it's right

I'll be thinking long and hard
About the things you said to me
Like a bitter stranger
Now I see the long and short
And never ever what's in between

I could spit on a stranger
You're a bitter stranger

Whatever you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me
Whatever you need, however so slight
Wherever it leads, whenever it's right

Honey, I'm a prize and you're a catch
And we're a perfect match
Like two bitter strangers
And now I see the long and short of it
And I could make it last

I could spit on a stranger
You're a bitter stranger
Well, I could spit on a stranger
You're a bitter stranger

I see the sunshine in your eyes
I'll try the things you'll never try
I'll be the one that leaves you high

The bird flew into the window
Saw himself and got confused
Saw himself and fell in love
Flew straight into the glass
Nothing can move me at this minute
Changing my life to fit myself in it
A passion in life is all i want in it
Please let me wake up one day
And find myself found
Find myself found
The bird flew into the window

In full colour in front of everyone
You drained out
The only part of you that was any fun
You're a late starter
You like everyone
Every dog on the street knows that people
Are a disappointment

People like you and me could leave this world
And go unnoticed in another
People like you and me could leave this world
And go unnoticed just the same as before

We faced each other
Breathing into bellies
Wondering as we entwined
Like a creeper back on itself
How we would separate
A small pad of paper
Holds the puzzles to all of my riddles
It stands out of my pocket and falls into the road

People like you and me could leave this world
And go unnoticed in another

If i was left to my own devices
I wouldn't go out in the rain
If i was in a room with all of my vices
Youd never see me again
You sing 'cause youre loosing
The last threads of night
Theres no time for dancing
But maybe you might
The sort of song you sing on sundays
Could be as down as rain
The things i do to get to see you
The random hanging 'round on trains
You sing 'cause youre loosing
The last threads of night
There's no time for dancing
But maybe you might
Pick your three favourite roll necks
And catch the next flight
But you won't

There's a mood on your mouth
Sparkles like a jewel
It's the morning
So you're going to be cruel
With your quiet dismay
Of one more day
That you just have to live through
And put your clothes on
Don't walk around bare
I said put your clothes on
There's nobody there
Lie back asleep
Go back to your dreams
And live on

Feel like I'm being taken over
And I know this isn't me
Feels like it's too high to get over
These waves just roll over me

Which way to go?
What happened to you?
Did you slip off the edge?
What happened to you?
Did you slip off the edge?

The sweetest sea air falling downwards
The sky arching like I'm trying to hold you
Ten sailors pants could be cut out of this sky of blue
Will anything take hold in you?

Training the morning to get up early
Ask in the evening to get a good night's sleep
Wanting to change everything about me

Which way to go?
What happened to you?
Did you slip off the edge?
What happened to you?
Did you slip off the edge?

Sweetest salty air falling downwards
The sky arching like I'm trying to hold you
Ten sailors pants could be cut from this sky of blue
Is anything going to take hold in you?

What you really want is to fall upwards into the sky
Turn the world upside down
So you don't stop falling
So you never stop falling
So people will turn and say

What happened to you?
Did you slip off the edge?
What happened to you did you slip?
What a feeling inside
Pulling forwards pulling backwards
When are you going to fly
Will anything take hold in you
Will anything take hold of you
Will anything grab anything inside of you

All Apologies

What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun I feed as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
buried
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqur scafoam shame
Sunburn with freezeburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all we all are

He knows who I am
He looks at me slowly
Each morning he gets up
I lie and miss his body
It's not a waste of time
To feel the heat
Leave the sheets

Because breath between talking is life
Waiting for the end of now is life
The gas on the sun sizzles
We wait around like rain inside clouds
Inside clouds clouds

I don't have a plan
I've usually got one
I want this to last
I think I can hold on
It's not a waste of time
To drive past his work

Because breath between talking is life
Waiting for the end of now is life
The gas on the sun sizzles
We wait around like rain inside clouds
Inside clouds clouds

Because breath between talking is life
Waiting for the end of now is life
The gas on the sun sizzles

You can hear the grass grow
And feel what the birds think
But you won't drink
What they give to you
Prettier than sunsets
Brighter than a revelation
You say it's just mild sedation
For your other life

Your cross protects you when it's dark
When you close your eyes
You think with your heart

You watch for the boredom
Steal a seat for your visitors
Seen through your eyes
You laugh if the phone rings
You drew it on the wall
The line goes down to the floor
Then fades away

Your cross protects you when it's dark
When you close your eyes
You think with your heart

Because your prettier than sunsets
And brighter than a revelation

All i ask for is the sign for my fleeting
Lift me to your light
Felt the warmth back in my eyes
I used to follow you round in a casual way
Miss good shows on the radio just to see your face
And you
Just stood
You kept me there
Bare to what you were
And you
Just would
Be happy to be loved by me
But not for good
Not for good.
I never thought that i'd get to talk to you
You are always about never in doubt of what you've got to do
I knew i'd be nervous now
What was i then
Years had passed my frustration was masked
I knew i would not be again
And you
Just stood
You kept me there
Bare to what you were
And you
Just would
Be happy to be loved by me
But not for good
Not for good.

Smoke a galouise at the after show
Even though you gave up a year ago
Think of all the ways to meet your heroes
While she wraps you around her ego
Its lost its charm
Change the scenery round
Pick the colours up town
Where the noise is loud
Now where did my spirit go
You think you would have learnt by now
That broken love can still be bound
You still have the photos she looked her best
When she was with you instead of all of the rest
Its lost its charm
Change the scenery round
Pick the colours up town
Where the noise is loud
Now where did my spirit go
Show me the way im sick of waiting
For love to show its head again
White blue and red
My love changed from my head
And left on its own

What am i doing here
When i was brought in the world
Through blood and tears
How will it end
How will it end
Im not trying to be melodramic
I try hard to think what im going to say
'Cause i want to keep the friends that ive got
Well i think i do anyway
How will it end
How will it end
I cant think of good things
When they happen
I wait for the shit to come
And i love you one and all
One and all
What am i doing here
When i was brought in the world
Through blood and tears
How will it end
How will it end
Im going to stop being scared
Of what happens when i say what I think
Im gonna stand up and be brave about it
Look who i am ive got a brain
Ive got a thought between these ears
Feelings between eyes
You want to see
And i am no pig with its trotters on your plate
To come and cut into and salivate into
What am i doing here
I was brought in this world through blood and tears
How will it end
How will it end
How will it end
How will it end
How will it end

Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?

Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor chord and the major lift.
The baffled king composing Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

And she tied you
To her kitchen chair,
Broke your throne, and cut your hair.
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah .

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby, I've been here before
I know this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
Love's not some kind of victory march,
It's a cold and a broken Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?

But I remember when I moved in you,
Holy dove was moving too,
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I watch you wait
At the bus stop with one eye
On your watch
You turn and say
To strangers there's not enough time
For one man in one life
Just a flicker and then a breeze
Breeze, breeze
But you sit there for hours
Watching programmes you don't
Plan to watch they just come on
And if you had one chance to change
Would you review your plans?
'Cause there's not enough time
For one man in one life
Just a flicker and then a breeze
Breeze, breeze
I keep my time
Saved in a box
From going fast in cars
I've piled it up high
From saying hello to friends
With a quick goodbye
'Cause there's not enough time
In one life for one man
Just a flicker and then a breeze
'Cause there's not enough time
For one man in one life
Just a flicker
And a breeze
Breeze, breeze, breeze, breeze, breeze ...

You are the centre of your little world and I am of mine.
Now and again we meet for tea, we're two of a kind.

This is our universe, cups of tea.

We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me.
We have a beautiful cosmos.

What do we talk of whenever we meet? Nothing at all!
You sit with a sandwich I look at a roll.

Sometimes I open my mouth, and shut it.

We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me.
We have a beautiful cosmos.

You are the centre of your little world and I am of mine.

We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me.
We have a beautiful cosmos.

Ii fell down fast fell down free
Lost my money lost my greed
I just want the prize you gave to them
Became a saint from just a friend
Mending boats on white hot sands
We all want to still think you are there
'Cause you were the one that spoke out
We were the ones you tried to stay awake
We were the ones sorting our lives out
You were the one who made the break
You fell down fast fell down free
Found a freedom lost the needs
I just want to prize you away
We carry on we carry memories
With every day your turning into dreams
I just want one more argument
'Cause you were the one that spoke out
We were the ones you tried to stay awake
We were the ones sorting our lives out
You were the one who made the break
You fell down fast we fell down fast
Fell down fast
In just a flash you fell down fast
Fell down fast
You fell down fast you fell down fast
Fell down fast
In just a flash you fell down fast
Fell down fast

You chose silence
You chose it more than life
You chose everything that you could
I knew from then more would be had from you
'Cause you blow the life
You blew the light
You blow the life out of her
You sit around
You sit around
Wanting her
To want you back
You don't see yourself as the wolf
You only see her as the girl
You won't be out in the woods
You'll be waiting for her behind the curtains
You don't see the mess you've made
You don't see the life you've taken from her
With every breath you suck in
You're more than the wolf
You're more than the wolf
Suck in like wolf
Suck in, suck in, suck in
Suck in, suck in, suck in
Sucking

Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you

Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back"
Tell him what we said about "Paint It, Black"
Rock 'n Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you.

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of.
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, well, let me know
If it's "no" well, I can go.
I won't make you.

How did love appear on my face like glasses?
You've seen my faults now I see them too
I'll believe in anything you say
As long as it's lasting I'll believe in you
A secret piece of you has broken off
And now it's on display, I can't get enough
Can't get enough of that secret piece of you

If only you could hear what I think

This woman told me, maybe you're good to be around
Cause some people latch on, and you have to learn how to pull them off
And you just turn round and they're crawling back to get back on

Oh I wish I could make you hear what I think

As long as you get access to a closed door

What can I say, he's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems

What can I do, he's saying we're through
With how it was
What will I try, I still don't see why
He says what he does

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems

What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it ever be the way it seems
How can we hang on to a dream

What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you
It's all a dream

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it will it be the way it seems
How can we hang on to a dream

Little black numbers
Pushed over steel
Is what you hear
To make you feel free
Little black numbers
Pushed over wood
Is all that you could live for
You are to me
Deeper than souls
Pushed in the ground
Time is a clock
That pushed us together
Makes us feel old
Makes us feel old
Sound pushing down
Sound pushed us down
If heaven and hell
Were both in the same place
Would fences appear
If all the wasps were devils
And bees were the angels
We'd bat them about
We'd bat them about
But bees and wasps
Are just fat men and thin girls
Theyre just fat men and thin girls
Theyre just fat men and thin girls
Fat men and thin girls
Fat men and thin girls
Fat men and thin girls ...

Every day I spend my time drinking wine, feeling fine…
Waiting here to find the sign that I can understand, yes, I am.
In the days between the hours, ivory towers,
Bloody flowers push their hands into the air…
I don't care if I ever know, there I go.

Don't push your love too far.
Your wounds won't leave a scar.
Right now is where you are…
In a broken dream!

Did someone bow their head?
Did someone break the bread?
Good people are in bed before nine o'clock.

On the pad before my eyes, paper cries, telling lies,
The promises you gave from the grave of a broken heart…
Hmmm…

Every day I spend my time drinking wine, feeling fine…
Waiting here to find the sign that I can understand, yes, I am.
Oooooh!

I sit here in my lonely room…

Don't push your love too far.
You know your wounds won't even leave a scar.
Right now is where you are…
In a broken dream!
And don't forget what I said?

Hoooooo!

Ivory towers…
Bloody flowers

You waited for me
On the green grass behind the park
I felt your breath
On the back of my neck
From two hundred yards
You waited for me
You said you didnt
I know you lied
Ive been watching you for hours
I trusted you
I cared for you
With the most important thing
And you said
Everything you did
Was for me
Yeah look down at your feet
Your own look me in ?
'Cause I waited for you
And you waited for me
'Cause I waited for you
And you waited, you waited for me
Your just still love
Your just still love
Your just still love

Youre just a still love
Youre just a still love
Youre just a still love
'Cause I waited for you
And you waited for me

We rode on train
With anger and pain
But we didn't cry
Easy and me
And some other guy

We hooked some ??
Stood side by side
And watch cars go by
Easy and me
And some other guy

Days and nights
We care for each other
The wrongs and the rights
We shed with each other

Then one day last week
He kissed my cheek
And whisper goodbye
Then easy walk down
With some other guy

One day last week
He kissed my cheek
And whisper goodbye
Then easy walk down
With some other guy

When we say what we've done
And shown how we've grown
Wwe'll never hold onto
What we think we own
All we can say is
We came down from the trees
We came down from the trees
And did we learn sarcasm
Or fighting with glasses
Dividing the money and making the classes
Before we came down
From the trees
We came down from the trees
Ed and Neil said
There was so much confusion
On what is called progress
And what's evolution
Maybe we were happier before
We came down from the trees
We came down from the trees
And i'm swinging from my branch
Waiting for my arms to get longer
So i can reach the next tree
Move into it's shelter
But i am so tired
I'm so so tired
I just, and I just come down
Come down
Come down from the trees
I might just come down from the trees
I might just come down from the trees

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.

I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.

I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.

I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.

Night came to me
Like a tired movie star
Crept up to me in the dark
I heard it call
Youre too tired to listen to me
But youll miss me
If you sleep
And whats a day
Without a night
To give it birth
Lie below
Watch it rise
What is worse
I need her like
She needs me
How can you say
The night is free
You cursed me cause i stole the light
But i helped the blind
Took everybodys sight
Then they bought the light from the day
Now theres not a safe place
And whats a day
Without a night
To give it birth
Lie below watch it rise
What is worse
I need her like
She needs me
how can you say
The night is free

You said your words i walked to the door
Then you walked behind me
Went to the station the train was late
You said i feel dead
In this place
You listen to yourself
All of the time
Cut off every line i say
How did you turn it all around
I won't be playing your game today
You tell the truth
As if it were lies
You tell the truth
As if it were lies
I did what i could to make myself seen
But you said you liked secrets
Well here is a secret just for you
I'm more now i'm not with you
Everything is an act, every line is a test
You're clothes are just a costume
The beauty you keep is not from within
You'll be saying bye bye bye bye bye bye bye to it soon
You tell the truth
As if it were lies
You tell the truth
As if it were lies
You said your words i walked to the door
Then you walked behind me
Went to the station the train was late
You said i feel dead
In this place
You said you said you said you said

No one is going to hurt you
Im the one who will protect you
Let your walls down
I wanna be around you
I just dont want to surround you
You think everyone has got it in for you
I feel the same way
It doesnt mean its true
Let your walls down
I wanna be around you
I just dont want to surround you
Im sinking down down in white sheets
And hot sleep
With the traffic of mad men and maniacs
Im sinking down down in white sleep and hot sheets
With mad men and maniacs
Im sinking down with mad men and maniacs

Lonely never a thought from you
Simply only
Nothing to you
I just wanted
A slice of your life
A bit of spice in my life
A bit of nice in my life
Something keeps you from me
Nothing wrong in just letting it be
Letting it be
Stop the rain
Close your eyes
Close your sleepy eyes
Listen to the traffic flow

There's nothing in me
Do you feel it too?
Caught in a conversation
With nothing to say
My mouth is moving
Have you seen yet?
That it's only air

Nicholas said
Don't listen too hard
They don't to you
It's only air escaping

Holding it back
Behind the cage of my teeth
When can I let myself go?
Moving towards you
The air that I've taken
As if I want to touch you
But it's only air

Nicholas said don't listen too hard
They don't to you
It's only air escaping

You see money in notes
How do they hook to your heart
All pyrotechnics
And dancers in spotlights
Nothing is human
I can't see any air

It's only air escaping

Ddogs been hanging 'round my door for three days
Been barking like they're talking
It's been raining for more than three days
And still they're not moving

I tasted her on your skin
I didn't tell you
You tasted her in your mind
You didn't tell me

You talk of angels and their wings
Do you think your God
Cause i am no angel with pretty wings
I am barking with the dogs

I saw her and me in your eyes
Both of us inside you
Two loves inside you
And the only thing you wanted was you

Dogs been hanging 'round my door for three days
Been barking like they're talking
It's been raining for more than three days
And still they're not moving

Sometimes the rain rains
Sometimes the sunshine shines
Over and over again
Washing us warm and dry
Over the hill i watched you walk up to me
Wind in the grass
Brushed you up like from the sea
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
Darker than blue into grey
We watched the sun go down
Lights in the houses went on
Like sun shining from the ground
Then over the hill I watched you walk up to me
Wind in the grass
Brushed you up like from the sea.

In a room banging on about the world in words
There's an old low light it flicks on and off
Like our opinions
Three hours without a word
Then you stroke my arm
There's an old low light in me
And it switches on

It's not visible to anyone but our love lives
There- I can feel it glimmer
It's slow and quiet and stares out at years
And it makes me love you more
More, more, more, more

In a different city bed in my sister's house
There's an old low light it keeps me awake
Without the shape of you
Track four on a CD you made for me
There's a note like light and it changes the air
And it makes me love you more
More, more, more, more, more

It's not visible to anyone but our love lives
There- I can feel it glimmer
It's slow and quiet and stares out at years
