Three tower blocks glinting in the midday sun
Two ice cubes melting in a glass of white rum Head for the places that I've never gone (I can't get through to myself) (Just can't get through to myself) Eight beggers choking on a slice of red pie Two rivers freezing in a broken goodbye No hesitation, just a kick in the eye (I can't get through to myself) (Just can't get through to myself) And we do alot of learning everyday Or so it seems but the road it keeps turning And i'm right back here again Blue leather jacket and a helium voice (I can't get through to myself) My head is reeling from too much choice (I can't get through to myself) I can't get through to myself Just can't get through to myself... |

Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange For I know not what I do. Feels like lightning running through my veins Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you Help me out here All my words are falling short And there's so much I want to say Want to tell you just how good it feels When you look at me that way When you look at me that way Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow Moving out across the bay Like a stone I fall into your eyes Deep into some mystery Deep into that mystery I got half a mind to scream out loud I got half a mind to die So I won't ever have to lose you girl Won't ever have to say goodbye I won't ever have to lie Won't ever have to say goodbye Yeah na na na na Yeah na na na na Please forgive me If I act alittle strange For I know not what I do It's like my head is filled with lightning girl Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you |

Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red Turning over TV stations Situations running through my head Well looking back through time You know it's clear that I've been blind I've been a fool To ever open up my heart To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule Saturday I'm running wild And all the lights are changing red to green Moving through the crowd I'm pushing Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream Only wish that you were here You know I'm seeing it so clear I've been afraid To tell you how I really feel Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made If you want it Come and get it Crying out loud The love that I was Giving you was Never in doubt Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Babylon, Babylon Sunday all the lights of London Shining , Sky is fading red to blue I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves And wondering where it is you might be going to Turning back for home You know I'm feeling so alone I can't believe Climbing on the stair I turn around to see you smiling there In front of me If you want it Come and get it Crying out loud The love that I was Giving you was Never in doubt And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Babylon, Babylon, Babylon written by David Gray in 1998 |

Feel the weight if this passing time
All those crazy faces run through my mind And that song has brought a teardrop to my eye Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top No we're not right I see this world but I can't relate Hey that everything must accelerate Betty Ford oh won't you be my valentine Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top No, we're not right Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top And now my hands are shaking But i just can't stop Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top No we're not right Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top And now my hands are shaking But I just can't stop Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top No we're not right When I'm weak and my head is sore And I feel like I can't go on no more I come in here where normal rules do not apply Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top No we're not right Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top No we're not right Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top No we're not right Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah |

Take this silver lining, keep it in your own sweet head
And shine it when the night is burning red Shine it in the twilight Shine it on the cold, cold ground Shine it till these walls come tumbling down We were born with our eyes wide open So alive with wild hope now Can you tell me why Time after time they drag you down Down in the darkest deep Fools and their madness all around Know that the light don't sleep Step into the silence take it in your own two hands And sprinkle it like diamonds All across these lands Blaze it in the morning wear it like an iron skin Only things worth living for are innocence and magic, amen We were born with our eyes wide open So alive with wild hope now Can you tell me why Time after time they drag you down Down in the darkest deep Fools and their madness all around Know that the light don't sleep Woah, wooah We were born with our eyes wide open So alive with wild hope now Can you tell me why Time after time they drag you down Down in the talk so cheap Fools and their madness all around Know that the light don't sleep Know that the light don't sleep Time after time They drag you down Down in the darkness deep Fools in their madness all around Know that the light don't sleep Know that the light don't sleep |

This years love it'll last
Heaven knows it's high time I've been waiting on my own too long When ya hold me like you do It feels so right I start to forget How my heart gets torn When that hurt gets flowin Feeling like ya can't go on Turning circles when time again It cut like a knife oh now If ya love me got to know for sure Cause it takes something more this time Than sweet sweet lies Before I open up my arms and fall Losing all control Every dream inside my soul When ya kiss me On that midnight street Sweep me off my feet Singing ain't this life so sweet This years love it'll last This years love it'll last Cause who's to worry If our hearts get torn When that hurt gets flowin Don't ya know this life goes on Won't ya kiss me On that midnight street Sweep me off my feet Singing ain't this life so sweet This years love it'll last This years love it'll last This years love it'll last This years love it'll last |

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands Sail away with me honey Now, now, now Sail away with me What will be will be I wanna hold you now, now, now Crazy skies are wild above me now Winter howling at my face And everything I held so dear Disappeared without a trace Though all the times I tasted love Never knew quite what I had Little darlin if you hear me now Never needed you so bad Spinnin' round inside my head Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands Sail away with me honey Now, now, now Sail away with me What will be will be I wanna hold you now, now, now I've been talking drunken gibberish Falling in and out the bars Trying to get some explanation here For the way some people are How did it ever come some so far Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands Sail away with me honey Now, now, now Sail away with me What will be will be I wanna hold you now, now, now Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands Sail away with me honey Now, now, now Sail away with me What will be will be I wanna hold you now, now, now Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands You bring me up if you pull me down Sail away with me What will be will be I wanna hold you now, now , now |

Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain
Here was a kind of so-so love And I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen again You and I had to be, the standing joke of the year You were the owner of the lost and found And not for me, I feel Take your hands off me, hey I don't belong to you, you see Take them in off my face, for the last time I never knew you, you never knew me Say hello goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye We try to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt And me in a suit, but it just wasn't me You're just a wilderness, and now your life's a mess So insecure you see I've put up with all the scenes, This is one scene that started to replace my world Take your hands off me, hey I don't belong to you, you see Take them off in my face, for the last time I never knew you, you never knew me Say hello goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye Under the deep red lights, I can see the make-up sliding down Well hey little girl you will always make up So take off that unbecoming frown As for me well, I'll find someone who's not gonna cheapen sale Oh a nice little housewife, who'll give me the steady life And not keep going off the rails Take your hands off me, hey I don't belong to you, you see Takea look in my face, for the last time I never knew you, you never knew me Say hello goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye Oh oh oh... Say hello, wave goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye Say hello, wave goodbye Goodbye |
