Peter Hook

Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address,
Of every one I've ever known.
It's nothing I regret.
Save it for another day,
It's the school exam and the kids have run away.

I would like a place I could call my own.
Have a conversation on the telephone.
Wake up every day that would be a start.
I would not complain about my wounded heart.

I was upset you see,
almost all the time.
You used to be a stranger.
Now you are mine.

I wouldn't even trust you,
I've not got much to give.
We're dealing in the limits,
and we don't know who with.
You may think that I'm out of hand,
that I'm naive, I'll understand.
On this occasion, it's not true.
Look at me, I'm not you.

I would like a place I could call my own,
have a conversation on the telephone.
Wake up every day that would be a start.
I would not complain about my wounded heart.

I was a short fuse,
burning all the time.
You were a complete stranger.
Now you are mine.

I would like a place I could call my own,
have a conversation on the telephone.
Wake up every day that would be a start.
I would not complain about my wounded heart.

Just wait till tomorrow.
I guess that's what they all say,
just before they fall apart.

I turn sideways to the sun,
keep my thoughts from everyone.
It's a jungle, I'm a freak.
Hear me talk, but never speak.

So I'm stepping out of time,
because breaking is a crime.
And it may all be too late,
but I've no passion for this hate.

That's the price of love. (that's the price of love)
Can you feel it? (can you feel it?)
If we could buy it now, (that's the price of love)
how long would it last? (that's the price of love)

And when this building is on fire,
these flames can't burn any higher.
I turn sideways to the sun,
and in a moment I am gone.

(that's the price of love) That's the price of love.
(can you feel it) If we could buy it now,
How long would it last?

(that's the price of love
can you feel it?)
If we could buy it now,
How long will it last?

Listen,
I may be wrong but you'll listen.
There's something wrong you could say.
Ruined in a day.
You could be the lover of jade,
forever on your own in the shade.
Let's do it anyway.

Some people like to deceive you,
while others may feel that they need you.
While I do the best that I can,
keeping my life in my hands.

And if you feel,
your cradle rockin',
then take the wheel,
don't let me stop you.
(Hang around for awhile),
but stop acting like a child.
Every step we take is the one,
that's gonna undo what you've done.

It could take all day.

Some people like to deceive you,
while others may feel that they need you.
But I do the best that I can,
I keep my world in my hands.

Some people like to deceive you,
while others may feel that they need you.
But I do the best that I can,
keeping my world in my hands.

Once in a while I need a friend,
so why won't you let me recover?
It's just a moment in your life,
but sometimes we divide each other.

Maybe we could find the time.
Eliminate what's on your mind.
We'd do everything we could,
our presence in the neighbourhood.

We could break every rule,
anytime we wanted to.
Don't be afraid to live this way.
Let's defend the things we say.

I want to be up in the air.
I could be anywhere.
Tell me I'm wrong, at least till tomorrow.
Set me free and I will follow.

Maybe we could find the time,
to elevate what's on your mind.
Recreate for me and you,
a master plan just for two.

Elevate what's on your mind.
Eliminate what's on your mind.

At the end of the day,
there's no food on our plate.
So we beg and we steal,
for we know love is real.
And if we don't take a chance,
in a spare sideways glance.
These are all the chains I wanted,
to justify the things I do.

And when we kiss we speak as one,
and in a single breath this world is gone.
And when we kiss we speak as one.
With a single breath this world is gone.

It's a crisis I know,
at the end of the show.
People change but we don't falter,
'cause we know love is real.
This is no place to shiver,
so get up off the grass.
You were once the main attraction,
but all that's in the past.

How much is free,
for me and you?
I'm on my knees,
I am a fool.
But when we kiss we speak as one.
With a single breath this world is gone.
(this world is gone).

How could I fail to give her,
when she cried such a lot.
People change but we don't falter,
'cause we use what we've got.

And when we kiss we speak as one.
With a single breath this world is gone.
And when we kiss we speak as one.
With a single breath this world is gone.
(this world is gone)
(this world is gone)
(this world is gone)

Pictures of an image of a person who could not be blamed.
You are a color and you are a number.
We need sanctions to see one another.
If I keep my distance in the season of this slender hell.
It's because of the need to live off one another.
Go home young offender and stay undercover.

We're busy running out of time.
(Whatever it takes, I will make it mine)
I'll take the future from your hand.
(All the things I've never had, I'll commit the perfect crime)

We're strong, we do our thing,
let the world cry, watch the birds sing.
Give me the freedom, I need to recover.
Words cannot heal, when a line is your lover.

Wind howls in my chamber like an angel.
(like an angel)
You are a color and you are a number.
Go home young offender and stay undercover.

I haven't time to sympathise,
with all this nonsense and your lies.
You are the king of nothing,
but you shall hold me.
You've got your finger on the pulse,
and in my pocket, yes of course.
I am the voice of treason,
but you betrayed me.

I used up nearly all my luck.
I didn't have to try.
But yesterday is gone,
and now I need an alibi.
If this gets any stranger things are gonna change.
'Cause I can't stand the music, always stopping.
If that's what it takes, I'll do it (I'll do it).
I'll keep on right on through it (on through it).

So please believe me when I say,
I wouldn't give the time of day.
Because then I'd be faking,
when I could tell the truth.
Were you abandoned in your youth?
Because if not, you will be soon.
I'm growing tired of waiting,
for you to say goodbye.

Any kind of fool with the will to live.
Tries to get it right with the one they're with.
But even though I give you special treatment,
you keep getting high juvenile delinquent.

And this is how it feels to be,
on the payroll company.
Your every scene is in the round,
and all the men are falling down.

Constantly harrassed and misunderstood.
I'm the 'lost and found' of the neighbourhood.
And I am not a part of society.
So don't get off the ground just be with me.

I would brave a rainstorm in my car.
Maybe you can leave but you won't get far.
It wasn't just a dream it was much too good.
Just another day in the brotherhood.

And this is how it feels to be,
on the payroll company.
Your every scene is in the round,
and all the men are falling down.

And this is how it feels to be,
on the payroll company.
Your every scene is in the round,
we don't need to hang around.

In a manger like Christ I lay.
Yellow fever, yellow hay.
Feel the rhythm, the sweetest sound.
Making, breaking sacred ground.
I'll give you a piece of my love for free,
but whatever I say you will never see.
Acquire a taste for a different sound.
Make or break it this side of town.

Life will never be the same,
In Port-Royal town, I hear it coming.
The shaking of the ground,
they're stealing in the day,
In Port-Royal town, the children are running.

Ever strange are the lives we lead,
so detached from the things we need.
Signs of greed in everyone.
Instant addiction and the blood on a gun.
Just when you think you've found it,
spinning world won't spin around it.
What is wrong? This pain won't peel.
The fibres of my life won't heal.

It isn't what it used to be.
I wake up every night,
on the stairs,
waiting for the dawn to come.
Every drop of wine,
you can be my time.
Only tomorrow knows.
Why do we beg when we can borrow?
This time we knew.
No more or less,
there's nothing left.

It was always special,
it was like water down the drain.
I'm intoxicated,
every time I hear your name.
I try to remember,
but nothing is the same.

It wasn't that I didn't try.
It's not the kind of thing, that you buy.
Written in my destiny.
Life is but a dream,
covered by the sky.
Stop saying that you're calling time.
Look at your life before you start on mine.
I'm not the kind of person that you need.
I'm sick of trying.
I mean that, it's over.

It was always special,
it was like water down the drain.
I'm intoxicated,
every time I hear your name,
I try to remember,
but nothing is the same.
It was always special,
it was like water down the drain.

Patiently you wait for me.
You are so blind.
I thought it couldn't be,
then changed my mind.
Drowning in the endless sea.
Line all those lines.
The traces of your memory,
don't belong with mine.

We're like crystal, we break easy
I'm a poor man, if you leave me
I'm applauded, then forgotten
It was summer, now it's autumn

I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage (just tell me what I've got to do), with a girl I betrayed
Here comes love, it's like honey
You can't buy it with money, you're not alone anymore, (whenever you're here with me),
You shock me to the core, you shock me to the core

We're like crystal, it's not easy
With your love, you could feed me
Every man, and every woman
Needs someone, So keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming

I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage (just tell me what I've got to do), with a girl I betrayed

You shock me to the core, you shock me to the core

Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming

There is a secret place
Underneath a tree
Where if you go and haste
You will find a key
The key will open doors
And you will look inside
The things that you will see
Will open up your eyes

At any given time
On every other street
The city comes to life
Though everyone's asleep
A man beats up his wife
He doesn't wanna keep
Behind closed doors
They're in retreat

I don't know what makes me stay
The city life just ain't the same
There's something wrong with kids today
I blame the parents anyway
There's no hope
No one to trust
I can't cope
It's obvious
Please don't take my drugs away
I'm gonna give them up someday

There is a place somewhere
That I could call a home
I'd live without a care
I'd never be alone
One day I will get there
I feel it in my bones
I check upon the scores
I listen to The Coors
Behind closed doors

Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
They still want more
Behind closed doors

We're like crystal, we break easy
I'm a poor man, if you leave me
I'm applauded, then forgotten
It was summer, now it's autumn

Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming

Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.

Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.

People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away in silence,
Don't walk away.

Won't someone give me a gun?
Oh, well, it's for my brother
Well, he writes the line, wrote right down my spine
It says, "Oh, do you believe in love there?"

So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over

Won't someone give me some fun?
As the skin flies all around us
We kiss in his room to a popular tune
Oh, real drowners

So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over

Slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over

You're taking me over
You're taking me over
You're taking me over
You're taking me over

Stop taking me over
You're taking me over
You're taking me over
You're taking me over

Change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene, with no regrets
A chance to watch
admire the distance
Still occupied - though you forget
Different colours, different shades
Over each mistakes were made
I took the blame
Directionless, so plain to see
A loaded gun won't set you free
So you say

We'll share a drink and step outside
An angry voice and one who cried
We'll give you everything and more
The strain's too much,
can't take much more
Oh I've walked on water,
run through fire
Can't seem to feel it anymore
It was me - waiting for me
Hoping for something more
Me - see me in this time -
Hoping for something else

Someone take these dreams away,
That point me to another day,
A duel of personalities,
That stretch all true realities.

That keep calling me,
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me.

Where figures from the past stand tall,
And mocking voices ring the halls.
Imperialistic house of prayer,
Conquistadors who took their share.

That keep calling me,
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me.

Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me.

They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me,
They keep calling me.

Hearts fail, young hearts fail,
Any time, pressurized,
overheat, overtired.
Take it quick, take it neat,
Clasp your hands, touch your feet.
Take it quick, take it neat,
Take it quick, take it neat.

Hearts fail, young hearts fail,
Anytime, wearing down,
On the run, underground,
Put your hand where it's safe,
Leave your hand where it's safe.

Do it again,
Do it again and again and again.
Do it again and again and again.
Do it again and again and again.
Do it again and again and again.

Anytime, that's your right.
Don't you wish you do it again,
Overheat, overtire.
Don't you wish you do it again,
Don't you wish you do it again,
Don't you wish you do it again,
Anytime, that's your right,
Don't you wish you do it again,
Anytime, that's your right.
Don't you wish you do it again,
Don't you wish you do it again,
I bet you wish you do it again.
Do it again.
Do it again.
Do it again.

A legacy so far removed
One day will be improved
Eternal rights we left behind
We were the better kind
Two the same - set free too
I always looked to you --

This is the first verse on the Bains Douches live album:
A legacy so far removed
One day will be improved
Secret trials - the judges warn
Check like we've never borne
Win the right to set free
What you will be reprieved
I put my trust in you --

We fought for good - stood side by side
Our friendship never died
On stranger waves - the lows and highs
Our vision touched the skies
Immortalists with points to prove
[or in the Bains Douches live version:
Captive souls - depleted soon]
[and in the Still live version:
Immortalists depart too soon]
I put my trust in you --

A house somewhere on foreign soil
Where ageing lovers call
Is this your goal - your final needs?
[or in the Bains Douches live version:
Is this your goal - your final round?]
[and in the Still live version:
It's come to this - your final goal]
Where dogs and vultures eat
Committed still, I turn to go
I put my trust in you --

In you, in you, in you
Put my trust in you, in you

So this is permanence, love's shattered pride
What once was innocence, turned on its side
Grey cloud hangs over me, marks every move
Deep in the memory, what once was love

Oh, how I realized? How I wanted time?
Put into perspective, tried so hard to find
Just for one moment, I thought I'd found my way
Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away

Excessive flash points, beyond all reach
Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep
Let's take a ride out, see what we can find
Valueless collection of hopes and past desires

I never realized the lengths I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know
Just for one moment I heard somebody call
Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all

Now that I've realized how it's all gone wrong
Got to find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway
Got to find my destiny before it gets too late

This is a crisis, I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept
Doubting, unsettling and turning around
Wondering what will come next

Is this the role that you wanted to live?
I was foolish to ask for so much
Without the protection and infancy's guard
It all falls apart at first touch

Watching the reel as it comes to a close
Brutally taking it's time
People who change for no reason at all
Happening all of the time

Can I go on with this train of events?
Disturbing and purging my mind
Back out of my duties when all's said and done
I know that I'll lose every time

Moving along in our God given ways
Safety is sat by the fire
Sanctuary from these feverish smiles
Left with a mark on the door

Is this the gift that I wanted to give?
Forgive and forget's what they teach
Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more
And watch as they drop by the beach

This is the crisis I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept
Turning around to the next set of lives
Wondering what will come next

Guess you dreams always end.
They don't rise up, just descend,
But I don't care anymore,
I've lost the will to want more,
I'm not afraid not at all,
I watch them all as they fall,
But I remember when we were young.

Those with habits of waste,
Their sense of style and good taste,
Of making sure you were right,
Hey don't you know you were right?
I'm not afraid anymore,
I keep my eyes on the door,
But I remember....

Tears of sadness for you,
More upheaval for you,
Reflects a moment in time,
A special moment in time,
Yeah we wasted our time,
We didn't really have time,
But we remember when we were young.

And all God's angels beware,
And all you judges beware,
Sons of chance, take good care,
For all the people not there,
I'm not afraid anymore,
I'm not afraid anymore,
I'm not afraid anymore,
Oh, I'm not afraid anymore.

A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia,
The sound from broken homes,
We used to always meet here.
As he lays asleep, she takes him in her arms,
Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm.

A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye,
Hands him the bag she packed, the tears she tries to hide,
A cruel wind that blows down to our lunacy
And leaves him standing cold here in this colony.

I can't see why all these confrontations,
I can't see why all these dislocations,
No family life, this makes me feel uneasy,
Stood alone here in this colony.
In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony.

Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.
God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.

God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.
God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.
In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony.

Won't someone give me a gun?
Oh, well, it's for my brother
Well, he writes the line, wrote right down my spine
It says, "Oh, do you believe in love there?"

So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over

Won't someone give me some fun?
As the skin flies all around us
We kiss in his room to a popular tune
Oh, real drowners

So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over

Slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over

You're taking me over
You're taking me over
You're taking me over
You're taking me over

Stop taking me over
You're taking me over
You're taking me over
You're taking me over

When the routine bites hard
and ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways,
taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart
again (4)

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through
our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again (4)

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart
again (4)

In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love

Surrendered to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else

Isolation, isolation, isolation

Mother, I tried please belief me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am

Isolation, isolation, isolation

But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
This is my one lucky prize
This is my one lucky prize

Isolation, isolation, isolation
Isolation

Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain

Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside

Cry like a child, though these years make me older
With children my time is so wastefully spent
A burden to keep, though their inner communion
Accept like a curse, an unlucky deal

Played by the gate at the foot of the garden
My view stretches out from the fence to the wall
No words could explain, no actions determine
Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall

Feel it closing in,
Feel it closing in,
The fear of whom I call,
Every time I call,
I feel it closing in,
I feel it closing in,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out.

I feel it closing in,
As patterns seem to form.
I feel it cold and warm.
The shadows start to fall.
I feel it closing in,
I feel it closing in,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out.

I'd have the world around,
To see just whatever happens,
Stood by the door alone,
And then it's fade away.
I see you fade away.
Don't ever fade away.
I need you here today.
Don't ever fade away.
Don't ever fade away.
Don't ever fade away.
Don't ever fade away.
Fade away. Fade away.
Fade away. Fade away.
Fade away. Fade away.
Fade away.

Instincts that can still betray us,
A journey that leads to the sun,
Soulless and bent on destruction,
A struggle between right and wrong.

You take my place in the showdown,
I'll observe witha pitiful eye,
I'll humbly ask for forgiveness,
A request well beyond you and I.

Heart and soul, one will burn.
Heart and soul, one will burn.

An abyss that laughs at creation,
A circus complete with all fools,
Foundations that lasted the ages,
Then ripped apart at their roots.

Beyond all this goo's is the terror,
The grip of a mercenary hand,
When savagery turns all good reason,
There's no turning back, no last stand.

Heart and soul, one will burn.
Heart and soul, one will burn.

Existence well what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can.
The past is now part of my future,
The present is well out of hand.
The present is well out of hand.

Heart and soul, one will burn.
Heart and soul, one will burn.
One will burn, one will burn.
Heart and soul, one will burn.

So this is permanence, love's shattered pride
What once was innocence, turned on its side
Grey cloud hangs over me, marks every move
Deep in the memory, what once was love

Oh, how I realized? How I wanted time?
Put into perspective, tried so hard to find
Just for one moment, I thought I'd found my way
Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away

Excessive flash points, beyond all reach
Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep
Let's take a ride out, see what we can find
Valueless collection of hopes and past desires

I never realized the lengths I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know
Just for one moment I heard somebody call
Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all

Now that I've realized how it's all gone wrong
Got to find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway
Got to find my destiny before it gets too late

Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain

Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside

Cry like a child, though these years make me older
With children my time is so wastefully spent
A burden to keep, though their inner communion
Accept like a curse, an unlucky deal

Played by the gate at the foot of the garden
My view stretches out from the fence to the wall
No words could explain, no actions determine
Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall

Here are the young men, a weight on their shoulders
Here are the young men - well where have they been?
We knocked on doors of Hell's darker chambers
Pushed to the limits, we dragged ourselves in

Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying
We saw ourselves now as we never had seen
Portrayal of the traumas and degeneration
The sorrows we suffered and never were free
Where have they been --

Weary inside, now our heart's lost forever
Can't replace the fear or the thrill of the chase
These rituals showed up the door for our wanderings
Opened and shut, then slammed in our face
Where have they been --

Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'

This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.

In arenas he kills for a prize,
Wins a minute to add to his life.
But the sickness is drowned by cries for more,
Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall.

This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.

This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.

You'll see the horrors of a faraway place,
Meet the architects of law face to face.
See mass murder on a scale you've never seen,
And all the ones who try hard to succeed.

This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.

And I picked on the whims of a thousand or more,
Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years,
All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire,
Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair,
Take my hand and I'll show you what was and will be.

In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love

Surrendered to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else

Isolation, isolation, isolation

Mother, I tried please belief me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am

Isolation, isolation, isolation

But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
This is my one lucky prize
This is my one lucky prize

Isolation, isolation, isolation
Isolation

This is a crisis, I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept
Doubting, unsettling and turning around
Wondering what will come next

Is this the role that you wanted to live?
I was foolish to ask for so much
Without the protection and infancy's guard
It all falls apart at first touch

Watching the reel as it comes to a close
Brutally taking it's time
People who change for no reason at all
Happening all of the time

Can I go on with this train of events?
Disturbing and purging my mind
Back out of my duties when all's said and done
I know that I'll lose every time

Moving along in our God given ways
Safety is sat by the fire
Sanctuary from these feverish smiles
Left with a mark on the door

Is this the gift that I wanted to give?
Forgive and forget's what they teach
Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more
And watch as they drop by the beach

This is the crisis I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept
Turning around to the next set of lives
Wondering what will come next

A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia,
The sound from broken homes,
We used to always meet here.
As he lays asleep, she takes him in her arms,
Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm.

A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye,
Hands him the bag she packed, the tears she tries to hide,
A cruel wind that blows down to our lunacy
And leaves him standing cold here in this colony.

I can't see why all these confrontations,
I can't see why all these dislocations,
No family life, this makes me feel uneasy,
Stood alone here in this colony.
In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony.

Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.
God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.

God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.
God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.
In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony.

A legacy so far removed
One day will be improved
Eternal rights we left behind
We were the better kind
Two the same - set free too
I always looked to you --

This is the first verse on the Bains Douches live album:
A legacy so far removed
One day will be improved
Secret trials - the judges warn
Check like we've never borne
Win the right to set free
What you will be reprieved
I put my trust in you --

We fought for good - stood side by side
Our friendship never died
On stranger waves - the lows and highs
Our vision touched the skies
Immortalists with points to prove
[or in the Bains Douches live version:
Captive souls - depleted soon]
[and in the Still live version:
Immortalists depart too soon]
I put my trust in you --

A house somewhere on foreign soil
Where ageing lovers call
Is this your goal - your final needs?
[or in the Bains Douches live version:
Is this your goal - your final round?]
[and in the Still live version:
It's come to this - your final goal]
Where dogs and vultures eat
Committed still, I turn to go
I put my trust in you --

In you, in you, in you
Put my trust in you, in you

I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand,
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
These sensations barely interest me for another day,
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away.

It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand,
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land,
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now,
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow.

What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again,
I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from you friends,
Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling.

This is the room, the start of it all,
No portrait so fine, only sheets on the wall,
I've seen the nights, filled with bloodsport and pain,
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained.

Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?

These are your friends from childhood, through youth,
Who goaded you on, demanded more proof,
Withdrawal pain is hard, it can do you right in,
So distorted and thin, distorted and thin.

Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?

This is the car at the edge of the road,
There's nothing disturbed, all the windows are closed,
I guess you were right, when we talked in the heat,
There's no room for the weak, no room for the weak,

Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?

This is the room, the start of it all,
Through childhood, thorugh youth, I remember it all,
Oh, I've seen the nights filled with bloodsport and pain.
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained.

Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?

Forced by the pressure,
The territories marked,
No longer the pleasure,
Oh, I've since lost the heart.

Corrupted from memory,
No longer the power,
It's creeping up slowly,
The last fatal hour.

Oh, I don't what made me,
What gave me the right,
To mess with your values,
And change wrong to right.

Please keep your distance,
The trail leads to here,
There's blood on your fingers,
Brought on by fear.

I campaigned for nothing,
I worked hard for this,
I tried to get to you,
You treat me like this.

It's just second nature,
It's what we've been shown,
We're living by your rules,
That's all that we know.

I tried to get to you,
I tried to get to you,
I tried to get to you.
I tried to get to you.

Guess you dreams always end.
They don't rise up, just descend,
But I don't care anymore,
I've lost the will to want more,
I'm not afraid not at all,
I watch them all as they fall,
But I remember when we were young.

Those with habits of waste,
Their sense of style and good taste,
Of making sure you were right,
Hey don't you know you were right?
I'm not afraid anymore,
I keep my eyes on the door,
But I remember....

Tears of sadness for you,
More upheaval for you,
Reflects a moment in time,
A special moment in time,
Yeah we wasted our time,
We didn't really have time,
But we remember when we were young.

And all God's angels beware,
And all you judges beware,
Sons of chance, take good care,
For all the people not there,
I'm not afraid anymore,
I'm not afraid anymore,
I'm not afraid anymore,
Oh, I'm not afraid anymore.

Change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene, with no regrets
A chance to watch
admire the distance
Still occupied - though you forget
Different colours, different shades
Over each mistakes were made
I took the blame
Directionless, so plain to see
A loaded gun won't set you free
So you say

We'll share a drink and step outside
An angry voice and one who cried
We'll give you everything and more
The strain's too much,
can't take much more
Oh I've walked on water,
run through fire
Can't seem to feel it anymore
It was me - waiting for me
Hoping for something more
Me - see me in this time -
Hoping for something else

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control.
And she's clinging to the nearest passer by,
She's lost control.
And she gave away the secrets of her past,
And said I've lost control again,
And a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I've lost control again.

And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said,
I've lost control again.
And how I'll never know just why or understand,
She said I've lost control again.
And she screamed out kicking on her side and said,
I've lost control again.
And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die.
She said I've lost control again.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.

Well I had to 'phone her friend to state her case,
And say she's lost control again.
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes,
And said I've lost control again.
But she expressed herself in many different ways,
Until she lost control again.
And walked upon the edge of no escape,
And laughed I've lost control again.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.

I could live a little better with permissible (the miserable?) lies,
When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried.
I could live a little in a wider line,
When the change is done, when the dare is gone,
To lose control. When the dare is gone...

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect,
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.

I did everything, everything I wanted to,
I let them use you for their own ends,
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.

I travelled far and wide through many different times,
What did you see there?
I saw the saints with their toys,
What did you see there?
I saw all knowledge destroyed.
I travelled far and wide through many different times.

I travelled far and wide through prisons of the cross,
What did you see there?
The power and glory of sin,
What did you see there?
The blood of Christ on their skins,
I travelled far and wide thorugh many different times.

I travelled far and wide and unknown martyrs died,
What did you see there?
I saw the one sided trials,
What did you see there?
I saw the tears as they cried,
They had tears in their eyes,
Tears in their eyes,
Tears in their eyes,
Tears in their eye.

I walked through the city limits,
Someone talked me in to do it,
Attracted by some force within it,
Had to close my eyes to get close to it,
Around a corner where a prophet lay,
Saw the place where she'd had a room to stay,
A wire fence where the children played
Saw the bed where the body lay,
And I was looking for some friends of mine.
And I had no time to waste.
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine.

The cars screeched hear the sound on dust,
Heard a noise just a car outside,
Metallic blue turned red with rust,
Pulled in close by the building's side,
In a group all forgotten youth,
Had to think, collect my senses now,
Are turned on to a knife edged view
Find some places where my friends don't know,
And I was looking for a friend of mine,
And had no time to waste.
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine.

Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same,
Getting darker now, faces look the same,
And I walked round and round.
No stomach, torn apart,
Nail me to a train.
Had to think again,
trying to find a clue, trying to find a way to get out!
Trying to move away, had to move away and keep out.

We were strangers.
We were strangers, for way too long, for way too long,
We were strangers, for way too long.
Violent, violent,
Were strangers.

Get weak all the time, may just pass the time,
Me in my own world, yeah you there beside,
The gaps are enormous, we stare from each side,
We were strangers for way too long.

Violent, more violent, his hand cracks the chair,
Moves on reaction, then slumps in despair,
Trapped in a cage and surrendered too soon,
Me in my own world, the one that you knew,
For way too long.
We were strangers, for way too long.
We were strangers,
We were strangers, for way too long.
For way too long.

Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'

This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.
This is the way, step inside.

In arenas he kills for a prize,
Wins a minute to add to his life.
But the sickness is drowned by cries for more,

Beyond all this goo's is the terror,
The grip of a mercenary hand,
When savagery turns all good reason,
There's no turning back, no last stand.

Heart and soul, one will burn.
Heart and soul, one will burn.

Existence well what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can.
The past is now part of my future,
The present is well out of hand.
The present is well out of hand.

Heart and soul, one will burn.
Heart and soul, one will burn.
One will burn, one will burn.
Heart and soul, one will burn.

So this is permanence, love's shattered pride
What once was innocence, turned on its side
Grey cloud hangs over me, marks every move
Deep in the memory, what once was love

Oh, how I realized? How I wanted time?
Put into perspective, tried so hard to find
Just for one moment, I thought I'd found my way
Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away

Excessive flash points, beyond all reach
Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep
Let's take a ride out, see what we can find
Valueless collection of hopes and past desires

I never realized the lengths I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know
Just for one moment I heard somebody call
Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all

Now that I've realized how it's all gone wrong
Got to find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway
Got to find my destiny before it gets too late

Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain

Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside

Cry like a child, though these years make me older
With children my time is so wastefully spent
A burden to keep, though their inner communion
Accept like a curse, an unlucky deal

Played by the gate at the foot of the garden
My view stretches out from the fence to the wall
No words could explain, no actions determine
Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall

Here are the young men, a weight on their shoulders
Here are the young men - well where have they been?
We knocked on doors of Hell's darker chambers
Pushed to the limits, we dragged ourselves in

Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying
We saw ourselves now as we never had seen
Portrayal of the traumas and degeneration
The sorrows we suffered and never were free
Where have they been --

Weary inside, now our heart's lost forever
Can't replace the fear or the thrill of the chase
These rituals showed up the door for our wanderings
Opened and shut, then slammed in our face
Where have they been --

I stood there beside myself,
Thinking hard about the weather,
Then came by a friend of mine,
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start:
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his guilt,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love

I have always thought about
Staying here and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home,
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange,
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love

We all feel the same
All pleasure and nothing to gain
I've known you from the start
I've grown used to your wooden heart
Now you know my name
You search your empty brain in vain
If you don't change your ways,
You'll end up here with neon rays
Without you they'll never know
Without you my life won't grow
Without you they'll never show
Without you the night won't go
Without you I'm left alone
Without you I'm on my own
Without you I lay here in pain
Without you I've gone insane

Now you must decide
What good's a lie when you've nothing to hide?
Remarks, they'll never show
They're dumb like you, they never will know
It's time we said goodbye
Bury your head and silence your cry
I've known the feel of pain:
Join our world and play our game
Without you they'll never know
Without you my life won't grow
Without you they'll never show
Without you the night won't go
Without you I'm left alone
Without you I'm on my own
Without you my life's a waste
Just for you I left my place
Without you I'm left alone
Without you I'm on my own
Without you I lay here in pain
Without you I've gone insane

(Whatever you may think of me,
Don't ever take my dignity
Whatever you may do to me,
Don't crucify my dignity)

I've been waiting to hear your voice for too long now
One-way conversations do not work somehow
Tell me, how does one get your soul in touch with the one above
When one-way conversations pay a price for the use of love
I tried so hard last night, you would not talk to me
I live with the fear of a few with the gift
And I know what's going to be

Why did you never speak my name in front of my family?
You gave me a gift that you then took away
Are you ever going before?
Your name might be God but you do not say that much to me
Your name I forgot but you don't say that much to me
We might be your black sheep,
But you forgot us a long time ago
We might be your lost sheep,
But it's time you remembered us now

As we spend our days together, nothing can go wrong
No one told the truth about it because it was so strong
If you ever think of me, a gift within my name
If you read between the lines, you'll hang your head in shame
Easy ears will never hear, the ice will never freeze
Whatever I have done for you I did because you complained

Whatever you may think of me whatever you may say
I've lived my whole life in danger,
You've lived your life in hate

Hello, everyone, it's nice to be here
I've come so far to see you all
I can see your deep blue eyes
They sleep beneath the open sky
Before you stands one like your brother
Swear to God he needs no other
But how can I afford to be
Here with you so carelessly
You know what you did was so unkind
You search for the life you need to find
There's right and there's wrong
And there's good and there's bad
And there's an answer to this I wish I had
Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do
Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do

Well, we had a party in our hotel last night
It ended up in an awful fight
My friend left me and my heart, too
I hope I don't end up like you
Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do
Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do

Your country is a wonderful place
It pales my England into disgrace
To buy a drink that is so much more reasonable
I think I'll go there when it gets seasonal
You know what you did was so unkind
You search for the life you need to find
There's right and there's wrong
And there's good and there's bad
And there's an answer to this I wish I had
Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do
Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do

I like walking in the park
When it gets late at night
I move `round in the dark
And leave when it gets light
I sit around by day
Tied up in chains so tight
These crazy words of mine
So wrong they could be right
What do I get out of this?
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't show off without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

I like talking in my sleep
When people work so hard
They need what they can't keep
A choice that leaves them scarred
A view without a room
Unveils the truth so soon
And when the sun goes down
You've lost what you had found
What do I get out of this?
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't show off without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't show off without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit
What do I get out of this?
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't show off without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit
What do I get out of this?
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone

Ever since I've seen your face
This life of mine has gone to waste
I was young and you were old
And I always knew you were cold
At the start you had a heart
But in the end you lost your friend
Can you see your own dark face?
It's dieing in a lonely place
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you

As we get old, we lose our place
Reflecting back the world's disgrace
I feel so low, I feel so humble
Sometimes in life we take a tumble
Don't let anybody tell you that you're no good
`Cause you know they would
Don't let anybody tell you what you should do
`Cause it's not that way and
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you

You were me and I was you
This world of ours it felt brand new
You took me a little further...
I heard it all before, I've heard it all before
I can't hear it anymore
Your hair was long, your eyes was blue
Guess what I'm gonna do to you!
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door

You're much too young-
To be a part of me.
Too young-
To get a hold on me.

You're much too young-
You're much too young-
You're much too young-
To mess around with me.

Hey.
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks.
But I've never met a girl with all her own teeth
That's why I love you babe.
That's why we could be- but you're too young,
Too young.

Hey.
Sophisticated lady.
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks.
But you've got style.
You've got class.
But most of all-
You've got love technique.

It doesn't take a genius to tell me what I am,
Or lecture me with poetry, and tell me that I can.
I don't remember what happened yesterday,
I don't give a damn about what all those people say.

It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.
It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.

It don't take no Houdini to tell me what I am.
Parasites and literasites they 'd burn me if they can.
But I don't give a damn about what those people say,
They pick you up and kick you out, they hurt you every day.

It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.
It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.

It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.
It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.

There was a time I called before,
When all I knew was what I saw.
The keeper of a major key,
I lived in a town called Liberty.

I worked hard, to give you all the things that you need,
And almost anything that you see.
I spent a lifetime working on you,
And you won't even talk to me.

Can't you see?
Why don't you look at me?
It's not your right to be so much my enemy.

I knew that I could never give,
You knew that you could not forgive.
No price or pride would fall before
A ten foot wall without a door.

But you know, I watch every step you can make,
To find some other fool you can take.
And I don't know why I even try,
Because it all comes down to this...

Can't you see?
Why don't you look at me?
It's not your right to be so much my enemy.

Can't you see?
Why don't you look at me?
It's not your right to be so much my enemy.

I worked hard, to give you all the things that you need,
And almost anything that you see.
I spent a lifetime working on you,
And you won't even talk to me.

1618988 Your mind is awakening, your soul is repenting
Stop pissing away all the hours and days
Take one last look at me, this is what you will be
If you keep on this way we will all turn to fire!

All these pictures turn our eyes into stares
Their reaction proves that they just don't care
I will take one last look into your face
Fall to my knees, fold in disgrace

Rip out your eyes, rip out your eyes
The power within you will guide you and I
Rip out your eyes, rip out your eyes
They don't lie

Your mind is awakening, your soul is repenting
Stop pissing away all the hours and days
Take one last look at me, this is what you will be
If you keep on this way we will all turn to fire!

All our actions paint a picture surreal
There's no way to erase the hate that I feel
I will take one last look into your face
Before we all crumble and fall

Rip out your eyes, rip out your eyes
The power within you will guide you and I
Rip out your eyes, rip out your eyes
They don't lie

Decide, inside, decide, inside

Listen to me...
I know what I'm saying.
But lord it don't come easy-
To admit that I was wrong.
It took me far too long.
I counted on you to give me a reason,
Why the Sun don't shine in the season.
Grey sky surrounded me.

I'm not some kind of foolish lover-
I couldn't take this from no other.
You're not being cruel to me,
'Cause I always know you'll come back to me.
Yes, you'll come back to me.

'Cause I always know what it takes to make you my lover.

You once said to me-
That I was a cruel man.
And you know,
That I almost believed you.
I was blind, and I couldn't see.
You took my sight from me.

And all of these words,
And all this emotion,
Can't explain my hopeless devotion,
Or change what had to be.

I'm not some kind of foolish lover-
I couldn't take this from no other.
You're not being cruel to me,
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me.
Yes, you'll come back to me.

I'm not some kind of foolish lover-
I couldn't take this from no other.
You're not being cruel to me,
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me.
Yes, you'll come back to me.

I'm not some kind of foolish lover-
I couldn't take this from no other.
It's no good being cool with me,
'Cause I always know what it takes to make you my lover.

Answer me, why won't you answer me?
I can't recall the day that I last heard from you.
Well you don't get a town like this for nothing,
So here's what you've got to do:
You work your way to the top of the world,
Then you break your life in two.

Well, what's the use in complaining,
When you've got what you don't need?
Anyone would think you were hardened too,
What do you want me to believe?

What the hell is happening?
I can't think of everything.
I don't know what day it is,
Or who I'm talking to.

But I know that I'm o.k.,
'Cause you're here with me today.
I haven't got a single problem,
Now that I'm with you.

So what's the use in complaining,
When you've got everything you need?
Anyone would think you were hardened too,
What do you want me to believe?

How can I ever forget you?
You don't know just what I've been through.
The holiday we spent together,
Lives with me now and forever.

I tried but I can't find you.
Tell me now what do I do?
I tried but I can't find you.
Tell me now what do I do?

I can't find my piece of mind,
Because I need you with me all of the time.
I used to think about you night and day,
I used to feel what language cannot say.
Oh, I can't find you.
No, I can't find my piece of mind without you.

Maybe you will write me a letter,
And tell me why I never met you.
Our rendezvous just ended in sorrow,
Without you there's no tomorrow.

I tried but I can't find you.
Tell me now what do I do?
I tried but I can't find you.
Tell me now what do I do?

I can't find my piece of mind,
Because I need you with me all of the time.
I used to think about you night and day,
I didn't care what other people would say.
Oh, I can't find you.
No, I can't find my piece of mind without you.

I can't find my piece of mind,
Because I need you with me all of the time.
I used to think about you night and day,
I used to feel what language cannot say.
Oh, I can't find you.
No, I can't find my piece of mind without you.

Or with her, with you girl- it really don't do,
He sees other's faces, but never found you.

Grow up children, don't you suffer
At the hands of one another.
If you like a sleeping demon
Listen can you hear him weeping?
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
He buys love to sell tomorrow.

My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the Point of No Return.
I've seen what a man can do,
I've seen all the hate of a woman, too.

Feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm,
He can't touch the world we live in.
Life is short but love is strong,
There lies a hope that I have found.
And if you try you'll find it, too
Remember why I'm telling you.

My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the Point of No Return.
I've seen what a man can do,
I've seen all the hate of a woman, too.

And they gave him away.
Let him whistle downwind.
By the look on his face,
He never gave in.

Nothing in this world
Can touch the music that I heard,
When I woke up this morning.
It put the Sun into my life,
It cut my heartbeat with a knife,
It was like no other morning.

I don't belong to noone,
But I want to be with you.
I can't be owned by noone,
What am I supposed to do?

I can't see the sense in your leaving,
All I need is your love to believe in.

Don't look into the Sun
It's not for me or anyone,
To steal the light out of the sky.
Is it really such a sin?
'Cause if it is then I'll give in.
I can't live without your love.

I don't belong to noone,
But I want to be with you.
I can't be owned by noone,
What am I supposed to do?

I can't see the sense in your leaving,
All I need is your love to believe in.
And for you I would do what I can,
But I can't change the way that I am.

My comments could be your theme
And give an end to your dreams
A simple moment or rhyme
Could be the smallest of signs
We'll never know what they are or care
And that's the statement or view
There's no escape - so few in fear
Day made a change value

To be given your sight
Hill in a warm peaceful night
A nervous cry for your eyes
A fractured smile that soon dies
A language drawn from your life and soul
A sign which might have begun
A long farewell to your love and so
A long farewell to your soul

Now I know what they meant to do
No looking back now or pushing through
The change it seems in taste or scene
But never gets loud or he would scream
But never gets loud or he would scream
But never gets loud or he would scream

Oh, it's a strange day, in such a lonely way
I saw some children dance, I watched my life in a trance
And the people around me seem glad to be there
Will my time pass so slowly on the day that I fear?

And the noise that surrounds me grows so loud in my head
From the promise I made once to the lies that I said
Oh, it's such a strange day in such a lonely way
Some people look down on me, I hope they like what they see

Strange day - such a strange day - such a strange day

My eyes are weary, all you before me
I see the best take, the light of daybreak
It shines upon me, most I don't see
No reason was given
No reason was given

Two hard to recall, this moment's glory
A faint reminder, a broken story
My vain emotions, one day will vanish
No reason was given
No reason was given

One day it's now or never
To stay at home
Sometimes the dreams are better
One thing you hold
Believe that all these changes
Keep me alone
What brought the last reaction
I'll never know
I'll never know
I'll never know

Believe me, all I said to you
Believe me, all I did for you
All I did for you
All the times it takes to complain
But live in doubt
Sometimes they keep you waiting
For a look around
I've got a friend in here somewhere
Who can help me out
Believe me, all I said to you
Believe me, all I did for you
All I did for you

My love falls from heaven
A tear in a stranger's eye
Then it goes forever
Where all things never die
People look whenever
These places have been won
Minds just for breathing
When those moments have begun

It's so far away, and it's closing in
It's so far away, and it seems to draw me in

Taken from the killing ground
By all dividing hands
With no sense or reason
They came, they found, they ran
Taking good advantage
Of all the things I'm told
I washed my hands in innocence
When you start taking control

It's so far away, and it's closing in
It's so far away, and it seems to draw me in

Some days you waste your life away
These times I find no words to say
A crime I once committed failed me
Too much of heaven's eyes I saw through
Only when meanings have no reason
They're taken beyond your sense of right

Small boy kneels humble in a great hall
He placed hands to the air above him
White circles, black lines surround me
Reborn, so plain my eyes see
This is the reason that I came here
To be so near to such a person

I'm so tired, I'm so tired

Those steps which seem to take a lifetime
When eyes just turn and stare
The day begins, collapsing without warning
You fade from sight - there's nothing there

All hope allowed, it calls in answer daily
The questions are on your side
Deeply moved, beyond all consolation
You felt the pulse now and the cry

In my mind, thoughts are becoming clearer
I'm watching every move you make
Counting time spent in observation
A single blow a false mistake

Then you revealed to me
All that I need to know now
(The close went down to times
too, too much behind us)
Then please don't turn away,
Why can't I talk to you now?
(The number of forgotten years
Where my honor isn't deepest
Grows the deepest feeling and it
Grieved for safety and despair)
There's nowhere left to go
Where is this taking her and how?
(The torish threats forevermore
Over our natural favor
And us and he's and I'll fall
Far in it, and it sees enough
In our failures and it's not time.)
There's nothing more I want
To know beyond your trust now
(I missed his promised time again
For my friend)
Don't throw our joy away
Why must you just you leave now?
(Has God forgotten to approach us?
Has He rememberd to not despise us?)
Memories are all that's left
I need you near to me now
(There, now, now, don't come to mind my deeds
And call out in defiance of times gone by)

Here I am in a house full of doors but no exits
In a light that is grey like the stain on my windows
All of this is a gift, such a painful companion
Inside of me

It's just something I know, the answer's not there
It comes and it goes and it frightens me
It's just something I know, the answer's not there
It comes and it goes and it frightens me

This feeling inside me can't confront the decay
To fall down on my knees and resume this charade
Believe me, this distance, it's not what I need
Inside of me

It's another story, some of it is blurred
I tried to understand him, I tried so hard
Time worked so well upon us inside of me
Inside my soul, Inside my soul

Time worked so well upon us
Inside of me, inside my soul
Inside of me, inside my soul

Won't you please let me go
These words lie inside they hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to

I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know
I received your message
And In a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that I've actually heard it
You're going to regret

And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what you want me to
You're not the kind that needs to tell me
About the birds and the bees

Do you find this happens all the time
Crucial point one day becomes a crime
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you

I've lost you (x5)
I've lost you (x5)
I've lost you (x5)

Three miles to go
Three miles to go
At the end of the road
There's a soldier waiting for me

I've got three miles to go
Three miles to go
At the end of the road
There's a soldier waiting for me

At the end of the road
At the end of the road
At the end of the road

Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still
Breath held tight inside of me
Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still
Breath held tight inside of me
Life goes on and on...

It's a red sky tonight
It's a red sky tonight
At the end of the road
Where all futures go
At the end of the road
There's a soldier waiting for me
He's got three miles to go
Three miles to go
At the end of the road
At the end of the road
There's blood on shore

Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still
Breath held tight inside of me
Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still
Breath held tight inside of me

When a new life turns towards you
And the night becomes a bay
We shall remain forever
Everyone who meets his way
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours

When the rain falls to the sea
They'll be waiting for you and for me
And the sky reflects our image
Trying to sleep right through our lives

Oh, our love is like the earth
The sun and the trees and the birth
Oh, our love is like the earth
The sun and the trees and the birth

I am still here two days later
Same place, same time
And I'm stuck here two years too long
Same place, the wrong time

Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The sun and the sea and the hours

Their love died three years ago
Spoken words I cannot show

I see danger
On the corner sent by me
Shadows the ways
Straight away you ran from me
I heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
I heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
I hear silence
I hear silence in my heart (house)
From a distance
Turn your back and run (hide) from me
Heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
Heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
When it happens
You will be no friend of mine
Take the first chance
When I am no longer free
Heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
Heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
In the future
When you want me in your heart
I won't be there (help you)
If you call out in the dark
Heard you calling
Yes, I heard you calling
Heard you calling
Oh yes I heard you, heard you, heard you, heard you calling
Can you hear me deep inside
From these feelings I can't hide
Can you hear me deep inside
From these feelings I can't hide
Oh, can you hear me deep inside
From these feelings i can't hide
Can you hear me calling you
Can you hear me calling you
Can you hear me calling you
Can you head me calling you

A thought that never changes
Remains a stupid lie
It's never been quite the same
No hearing or breathing
No movement, no colors
Just silence

Rise and fall of shame
A search that shall remain
We asked you what you'd seen
You said you didn't care

Sound formed in a vacuum
May seem a waste of time
It's always been just the same
No hearing or breathing
No movement no lyrics
Just nothing

The sign that leads the way
The path we can not take
You've caught me at a bad time
So why don't you piss off

Who saw those dark eyes
Who saw those dark eyes
These years gone by
Deep within
Burn my skin
All those years gone by
In the heat of the night
All those years gone by

Who felt those cold hands
Who felt those cold hands
Touch my skin
Deep within
Burn my soul
Fell to the ground
Where I was found
All those years ago
All those tears ago
All those years ago

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody makes mistakes
Even me
Just be free
This is a place
Where in the end
It happens in
Our world within

Time to go
Time to go

On a thousand islands in the sea
I see a thousand people just like me
A hundred unions in the snow
I watch them walking, falling in a row
We live always underground
It's going to be so quiet in here tonight
A thousand islands in the sea
It's a shame

And a hundred years ago
A sailor trod this ground I stood upon
Take me away everyone
When it hurts thou

From my head to my toes
From the words in the book
I see a vision that would bring me luck
From my head to my toes
To my teeth, through my nose
You get these words wrong
You get these words wrong
Everytime
You get these words wrong
I just smile

But from my head to my toes
From my knees to my eyes
Everytime I watch the sky
For these last few days leave me alone
But for these last few days leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

If we left this town, we could walk the earth together
If you let me down, I will live in you forever
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you

If we could find a home, we could go through time together
If we could hold our own, devastate the night forever
There's no place where we can't go
There's no place where I have been
There's no limit I can show
There's no level inbetween
Jolene, I could have seen you there,
Jolene, I need you everywhere
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
Jolene, I could have seen you there
When I looked into your lifeless eyes, I saw you everywhere
There's no place where you can hide
There's no place that I can't find
There's no end to leave me clean
There's no reason I have seen

If you find me on my own, you could live your life forever
Shall we leave our world alone, maybe we'll go back or never
Jolene, I could've seen you there
When I looked into your lifeless eyes, I saw you everywhere
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you

I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you
I want you, I want you, I need you, I need you

The other day I came across
Someone I knew and he was lost
I don't care what we have done
You never will believe it
It's a life that's made for me
Where I can be completely free
So long as I obey this sound
That echoes all around
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key

Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key

So, I thought this cannot be
There's someone else in here with me
I don't care where we have been
You never will believe it
I know you and you know me
And we're as happy as we can be
I know where this world belongs
It don't mean much to me
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key

I've kept my head against the wall
I've been this way for so long now
You weren't exactly falling over yourself
When last I saw you
Well I always thought
We'd get along like a house on fire
Until you told me that I'd have to go
How can someone like you work that slow

Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see

I don't feel anything no more
This state of grace is consuming me
I'm not grown up and I am not a boy
I feel no pain and I feel no joy
Well I always thought
We'd get along like a house on fire
In those days when the sun was warm
I ran in the street where I was born

Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see

The streets are so empty at this time of night
I'd rather walk on my own than fight
In a world where I'd forgotten you
I found myself forgotten, too
That's the danger of believing books
And all the lies of those thieves and crooks
We sing intellectual songs of love
From a stolen pen to a velvet glove.

Oh I don't know why people lie
And I don't know why people die
Every time you see me you shout at me
`Cause of all the things in the world that I can't see
But what I think goes on in this world
For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl
Is that the more you earn, the less you learn
There's a fire in life where we will burn

And I never could believe it
And it never could be true
For the things that mean so much to me
Don't mean so much to you
And I never could believe
The way you told me I was wrong
If I'm right and you are sinful
Then for God's sake I was wrong

Oh, I don't know how I think this way,
And yet you sit there looking at me all day
There's more to you than I can see
There's a shadow of another hanging over me
But what I think goes on in this world
For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl
Is that the more you earn, the less you learn
There's a fire in life where we will burn

And I never could believe it
And I never could be true
For the things that mean so much to me
Don't mean so much to you
And I never could believe
The way you told me I was wrong
If I'm right and if you're sinful
Then for God's sake I was wrong

Oh, I'd tear you out of heaven
And I'd tear you out of hell
And I'd see your life with me was because
One lies there as well
And I'd cry out in my loneliness
While you sleep in your fears
But you'll never see my face again
While I need words like these

You told me about yourself,
How you once lived with someone else
The way of life that you had tried
The way they hurt you deep inside
That's the only thing about it
I can't find anyone to doubt it
Who do you think you're talking to?
When I look at you I know you're lying
All you say and do
Seems to fall apart and leave you crying

I thought I could've seen you here today
But you leave me standing each and every way
You told me a pack of lies
That I can't even reason with
If they're your offer, more are cold
The kind of things that I can't give
That's the only thing about it
I can't find anyone to doubt it
That's the only thing about it
I can't find anyone to doubt it
Who do you think you're talking to?
When I look at you I know you're lying
All you say and do
Seems to fall apart and leave you crying

Who do you think you're talking to?
When I look at you I know you're lying
All you say and do
Seems to fall apart and leave you crying

Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bow of gloom
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
While every day my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like nobody should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

This is a song about an innocent
Who died at the hands of a desperate man
He trusted those who he thought he knew
He trusted those who he looked up to
I'll never forget the joy in his face
He'd laugh and he'd cry and he'd ruin my place
He'd drive me crazy, and he'd drive me wild
I used to scream and shout all day long

Now I hope you know this song
Is about a child who now has gone
And other children like him, too
Abused and used by what adults do
So don't tell me about politics
Or all the problems of our economics
When you can't look after what you can't own
You scream and shout all day long
