What didn't know back then
Was that I might be crying
It is such a simple sentiment
To steal the show
And what I didn't know back then
Is that I might be losing you
And still I wouldn't know

And now I suck up to the pale moonlight
Like it's gonna lead me home
And I shiver in my tired clothes
As if that could keep me warm
And now I stare across the dirty river
And I'm sure upon this bridge I'll see you
Cos I dreamt I'd kiss you up there

What I didn't know back then
Is how great the sin
How time goes so slowly
When you're cheating on a friend
And what I didn't know back then
Is that I might be needing you

Yeah I might be needing you
The need it doesn't end
And now I stare across the dirty river
And I breathe the dirty air
And I'm sure upon the bridge I'll see you
'Cos I dreamt I'd kiss you there

What I didn't know back then
Was that I might be crying
It's such a simple sentiment
To steal the show

Now this isn't the party I would hold now, I'm trying to make it on my own
I have opened my house but it's not like a home without you
And I really don't want to feel that you're not here 'cause I would be

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on calling you
Yeah, I'd keep on calling you

No this isn't the season I would have chose
To be walking for miles with nowhere to go
I find shelter and warmth but I still feel the cold without you
And I really don't want to feel that you're not here 'cause I would be

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on calling you
Yeah, I'd keep on calling you

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on holding you
Yeah, I'd keep on holding you

How do you think it feels? when you have a broken heart
Can't you reach out for me? can't you take me baby once again?

If I - won't be - able
To hold - a good - conversation
If I - feel - big - and ballooning
If I - turn up - today

If I - can't be - appreciated
I - won't be - 'preciated - at all
And if I - look - red - and - confusing
Well, I - am all - of the above

'Cos, I've been
Feeding the witches
Feeding them straw
Feeding the witches
The witches
The witches
Who live next door
You'd think
They'd have no milk, they'd
Have no honey
You'd think
They would prefer - petroleum
You'd think
they'd have rat's eyes
Not like Aunt sally
Yeah - you'd think
They wouldn't smile - just like your mum

Since I've been
Feeding the witches
Feeding them straw
I am
Falling for witches
The witches
Who live next door
They live next door
They live next door

If I - start wrong - too drunk - to continue
And - if - can't shout
I can't do - things - I used to
I'll be

Joining the witches
Feeding them straw
I'll be feeding the witches
The witches
Yes I'll be
Joining the witches
Feeding them straw, I'll be
Joining the witches
The witches who live next door

Criss-cross laces
You have the centre
You have the cinnamon
In the centre
You shouldn't be alone
You should just pick up yourself
And shine yourself
And make yourself fit a bran new maybe
in the side streets
You been walking
I have been walking too
So, you know the faces
You know how they'll flirt with you

Well, I know my favourite language
Well, it trickles down my mouth
If this is me
Being close to you
Being somewhere like the last night we spend together
That is something next to nothing
That is something
So, I got my truth of many colours
I got my fears
Another shade
But when I'm riding my happy taxi
I guess I got it made

Who's that creeping?
In the street there
Who's that creeping?
By your window
She might know something
She might show you some things
You never really want to share forever
Mean forever
'Cos it feels so slow

We drove out like something special
In our special rags
Well, I know that something special happens!
When we drive our sad to happy
We go driving
In our happy taxi
in our happy taxi

I am not the
First street preacher
Not the first to
Want to lead you
Not the first to
Leave your money
Not the first to
Leave your home
Not the first to
Leave forever
Glad to go
When love has gone

So where am I going?
Where am I going tonight?
So where am I staying?
In my happy moonlight
In my happy taxi
In my happy taxi
In my happy taxi
In my happy taxi
In my happy taxi
In my happy taxi
Would you drive on down
Would you drive on down
Would you drive on down
In my happy

Brother - won't you, walk you town?
Don't you ever wanna stray?
See, I've been seeing someone in this town
And they don't wanna stay

Mud in any water - see you
See you laugh and sing
Everbody will be happy
Everbody will bring

Mud in any water - bring me
Never want to be alone
Can't you ever sense it - send me?
Somebody bring me home

Mud in any water
He brings - He don't wanna shy today
'Course the people want their friends
But they don't want their friends true
'Course the people want their friends
But they don't want their friends true

Mud in any water - want you
See you laugh and sing
Everbody will be happy
Everbody will bring

Have a shot at any heaven
Have a shot at any heart
Have a shot at where you're taking
Maybe let me know my heart

Heaven seller
Heaven celebrate
Helps to bring us all around
Mud in any water's danger
But you look to where it's found

I got shot of any harbour
I got shot of any trial
Where the people are so open
Where my openess - a child

Mud in any water - see you
See you laugh and sing
Everbody will be happy
Everbody will bring

I'd never call this an unpleasant situation
I'd never teach you how to lie
But sometimes i have been walking numb
And i must catch myself before i cry
Before i cry
I never call anything ugly
I never call anything strange and alone
I never want to, take things lightly
Like they have never been my own

Oh, don't - now i haven't heard it yet
Oh, don't - i havn't heard
But i know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is
And isn't
A lover in the city

I always thought i would be star bright
I always thought you'd feel it too
But sometimes i have been making conversation
And i must catch myself
Before i'm down
I'm down on you
I never think they would be scaring me
Scared couples in the cold



They look so fine in their eagerness
I wonder to myself just how they know

Oh, don't - now i haven't heard it yet
Oh, don't - i havn't heard
But i know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is
And isn't
A lover in the city

I swear
I'm staking out the whole world
I swear
I'm staking out the whole world
I'm staking out the whole world

I could never entertain you
I'd be far too scared to try
But sometimes i have been talking dumb
And i forget myself
And i forget myself
And don't ask, why?

Oh, don't - now i haven't heard it yet
Oh, don't - i havn't heard
But i know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is
And isn't
A lover in the city

The first time you stole flowers from the grave
Then, the second time, you shaved your head, you had been saved
By the very friendly, Jesus man
And all he said, ";Well, I'm your brother, man";

In the winter time you - you wore patch-work hard-me-downs
In the summer time - you were all bronzed, while I was brown
And they didn't ask you where you got the candy
No, they didn't ask you where you got the tan

In the morning time - we played travels in the sea
In the evening time - we had reduced the sea to me
But your mother saved us - from your daddy's hand
Yeah - your mother saved us - from your daddy's hand
From your daddy
From your daddy

With my adult mind -
You know my body feels so strange
If they'd only sign away my life to me
I could be much saner
If they'd only learn to let me
Freedom seek
The world would be less mean
But they never know - how to let you go
But they never know - how to leace me

Yodel - ee
Yod - el - ee

Oh, my
When you are not all together
And you feel your face is a fiery place
For many tears
Who looks upon a picture and really feels a thrill
Oh, not me
Who looks into their past and feels they could leave

And you'd think by looking at his soul
That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world

Oh, my
When you are not really moving
And you feel your feet have been put to sleep
For many years
Who looks into a city
And really feels at home
Oh, not me
Who looks into the dark
And yearns to be free

And you'd think by looking at his soul
That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world

Boy,
A lot of things are very simple
A lot of things are logical
When held into your hands
Boy,
A lot of things are very simple
A lot of things are very simple
And they fall apart
When they fall apart

Oh, my
When you are not really living
And you feel your heart
Is the biggest part of all your fears
Who looks upon a lover and really feels desire
Oh, not me
Who looks into themselves and likes what they see

And you'd think by looking at his soul
That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world

We almost got it together
And I'll be your favourite thing
Stand by the river with hard-luck eyes
And I'll just be open and sing
I was only trying to surprise
I wish I was like the frog-princess
And I'd never tell you lies
And down by the soil of the hard-life
They like to greet us with smiles
They like to tell us their good hostess
Had travelled a million miles
But you'd like it written closer
Yes, you'd like it written pure
If I told you this -
Would you miss my kiss?
No - you'd come right back for more

Oh, I'd like to be
What I want to be
But you want to carry on
But you need to take
What you have to take
But I'll still be here when you're gone

And there's a light by your window
And I'd like to capture you by there
And I'd like to hold you for all to see
But they don't really care
And if I said you're no peccadillo
Yes, I said you're a major thing
Would you stand by me?
At the corner dock
And say,

Well, he said it like he meant it
But he did not really care
So I sat upon the Eve's embraces
I was never there -
No, I was never really fabled
I was never really lost
I was cunning through that habit of mine
Y'see all the words were lost
Yes, all the words were lost

And you can stand upon your own life
Say it always seemed to seal
There were smiles upon the picture
But I don't know what to feel
And I told a million stories
And I sat down to risk half
But I never really meant it
'Til you came and stole my heart away
You came and stole my heart away

And even if your real thought
Hid a thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today

Well, the rain scales up
And your soul is drowned
And mother's saying still raise a frown
And mother's saying still makes you see
What you have lost instead of me

And even if your real thought
Hid a thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today

And even though the starlight falls
And takes your breah away
You still stare up towards the toss
I don't know what to say
I don't know how to be alone
With some kind fretless friend
And even though the Harvest brings
Well, we all begin again
I say we all begin again

And even if your real thought
Hid a thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all,

There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside
There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside

And though the rain may fall - your father's calling you
You still feel safe inside
And though your ma's too proud - your brother's ignoring you
You still feel safe inside

Oh, was this solo?
Was this yesterday?
Was this true for you?
'Cos while all the rest have taken time
This didn't do a lot for you

And the corners laced with memories
Tell you how it used to be
Your mother smiles, the children play, and all the bad things happen miles away

And strong feelings never bother you
You hold your head up while the rest of us try to

Oh, call the stations
Call the people
We all want to know
'Cos while all the rest have taken time
You don't wanna know

Well, there's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside
There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside

And though the rain may fall - your father's calling you
You still feel safe inside
And though your ma's too proud - your brother's ignoring you
You still feel safe inside

Oh, was this solo?
Was this yesterday?
Was this true for you?
'Cos of all the choices you have made
This didn't do a lot for you

I saw you from the cathedral
You were watching me
Yes I saw from the cathedral
What I should be

So take my time
And take my lies
'Cos all the others, they want to take my life

And I watch you with an intent, basic
It's the same for you
You hold your hand
And it's all fine - laced and
What would you make me do?

So take my time
And take my lies
'Cos all the others, they want to take my life

Serious for the winter time
To wrench my soul
whole cotton, whole cotton ears
But I know there must be
I know there must be, yes, I know there must be a place to go

And you saw me from the cathedral
Well I'm an ancient heart
Yes, you saw me from the cathedral
Well here we are just falling apart

You catch me
I'm tired
I want all that you are

And I saw you from the cathedral
You were leaving me
Yes I saw from the cathedral
You could not see to see

So take my time
And take my lies
'Cos all the others, they want to take my life

Give me a stand
A standing ovation, baby
Give me a road
Which I can tail
You don't know nothing, baby
So don't pretend
Or you might pay
Cost
It's costing me nothing, baby
I might feel some shame
But I don't care

And if you won't mind
Just moving the fireside, baby
I'd rather be cold
Than lying over there

No, this ain't sighing innocents
This ain't sighing innocents
No this ain't sighing innocents
I'm just trying to follow you

And if you walk
I might just tag along
It only be shop talk, some
Well that's something to do

Or I might take a walk down
By the river, baby
But no I won't
No I won't be waiting for you

No, this ain't sighing innocents
This ain't sighing innocents
No this ain't sighing innocents
I'm just trying to follow you

Sorry but sense
That (no one will miss you)
That no one will miss you
If you die

They might send a wreath
They might send a reason
They might send a reason
But us, we know

Join in the sus
It's always the same man
He's taking a stroll
And then they tie him to his ghost
I know it's sad

But you never listen
No, you never listen
You just drive home

Johnny was a peculiar guy
Brough up on love and the reasons why
but the reasons why ought not to be said
and so I'm left hands held to my head

I love you
I love you
I love you

It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing
It's a beautiful, beautiful thing

Chances, changes are all that you have
As you take the hard stuff and lie on your back
The smoothness, strangeness
Fits like a glove
But the comfort of tease
Still rises above

I love you
I love you
I love you

But is it possible, possible, possible babe?
Is it possible for you and me?

Gold and waves and Betty Blue
Are the images that lead to the clues of why
I can't love you
I can't love you
I can't love you
It isn't possible

Everyone has said that I might go
'Cos my red suitcase and my ray-bans
Weren't quite so
I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls
I'll never come back again
'Cos you know I laugh when winter shows her hand
Well, that picture framed the saddest thing you'll see
But it bought me time and a place that love could be
And since I'm going now please rearrange
'Cos I'd like to think that things have changed
I don't believe you'll be open anymore

Tell me if, you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isn't free
And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me

Well, everyone was hoping you would stay a while
Tell us 'bout that great land in the south
I see that man - now ain't he under offer?
I tell you child you go wash out your mouth

Tell me if, you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isn't free
And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me

What can you say
I'm hiding in the belfry
What can you say - I want to catch time
How can you say you know anything about me
Well I knew about you - but I won't care about you

Everyone has come to see. Well somethings have to do
Flowers out for this photographic haunt, but they all pass me by
But the age is not a funny game, it don't give such a buzz
And when I winced with ignorance
I had to kiss this dust

I got a scent on you. I got something here to show
(It's) somebody's slice of life
I had it tailor made, I had it soaken, shaken and shown around the world
And for all these things you tell me, well
I can't quite believe
You are still there and trying to be somebody

Always on the upkeep, always trying to reach the rest of us
We don't have anything to say, nothing to give
Well, it blows away
I have another chance, I may have two lives
But both my lives will be brief lives
And then, you all will wonder why

I was nearly 16 years old
You were only 17, life isn't so complicated
But then life isn't 'sposed to be
For all these years
For all these years

Could somebody tell them
To hurry on, hurry on down
Wouls somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on down

Every censor, everybody loses their way
I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share with you

Every lover
Well they all tell lies
Yes, I have his wife in the background
But I have more than this, I have more than this
And if Mr Chaste, he has a past
Give it to me

I was nearly 16 years old
You were only 17, life isn't so complicated
But then life isn't 'sposed to be
For all these years
For all these years

All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear

In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

We've just poked a little empty pie
For the fun that people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

Cup of tea, takes time to think, yeah
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light

Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

Today is my birthday
I stay outside the hall
Inside sit the butterflies
For the butterfly ball

All the boys are graded now
They come in their white socks, flat tops
And somehow they find a placr
All the boys are winning now
They play all the tricks with smiles
And a sorry past
For poor caw

Their own room
And winter tales
Never touched these girls before
They hear the car stereo
And know what life is for

All the boys are weary now
listening to the family sing song
Family say so

Must carve, must carve poor cow
Slice her, slice her up, poor cow
Slice her, slice her up, poor cow
Slice her, slice her up, poor cow

Today is my birthday
I stay outside the hall
Inside sit the butterflies
For the butterfly ball

Some say the world goes crazy
It's summertime
I say I'm feeling lazy
Hammocks in mind

And I can't change a thing
So I won't stay around
If you can still feel so hot
Why don't you feel for me?
If you can feel so much
Why don't you let it out
And let me be alone again

I keep watch. That's alright
'Cos it comes in this real night

He likes the sun
See the cornered clown
He likes the sun
Let us waste this town
And when it rains
You feel the click in his heart
And that's when the pain in mine will start
And that's when the pain in mine will start

I'm used to growing older
and feeling down inside
But yes, I know, well someone told
You should have seen him cry

Well that's not my life
I'm tired of chip inside and playing bronze for cool
Y'know that sometimes light
And sometimes you can just be that fool
Who can really say?

If I'm cross - it's a joke
if I'm lost - let it go up in smoke

He likes the sun
See the cornered clown
He likes the sun
Let us waste this town
And when it rains
You feel the click in his heart
And that's when the pain in mine will start
And that's when the pain in mine will start

Jump right out of your grass colours
And make like you were easy prey
and cheer us solemn of a possible
Is it possible?
I could really play could really play
All these things I say
Though not torn inside, though not torn
You just lie, lie low - lie low for me

I'm not in deeper waters - where everyone will claim
We used to know the daughter - throw it away it's such a shame
If you're feeling blue
And like icy looks and great command

He likes the way I'm true
But I know inside
This is a real life sham - but that's okay
And this song can't be sued
I assume - you get up and renew yourself

He likes the sun
See the cornered clown
He likes the sun
Let us waste this town
And when it rains
You feel the click in his heart
And that's when the pain in mine will start
And that's when the pain in mine will start

If I was a Londoner, rich with complaint
Would you take me back to your house
Which is sainted with lust and the listless shade
If I could have held you once more with that light
It's nothing to you, but it keeps me alive
Like a Valentine's Day, it's a Valentine's heart, anyway

The king and the ages, they fall by the plan
It's always the tired and the ordinary man
(It's the) challenge it's funny and such
I want to see you again
I want to see you again
It's so simple and plain
But I'll come back and see you again

The lie is the angel, it doesn't exist
I tell you it's funny but you like just to twist all my words
It's a shame you're so young
My word, it's a shame I'm so dumb
I figure a house with the smoke and the fence
The people round here would be pleased
Take my word on this

I would believe just in you, just believe in you
And five days to catch me around with my ring
As I visit the friendships which meant everything to the girl
With the clown's face, to the girl with the clowns face, round here

When your life has all been token
And your stance is akin to broken hearts
You've grown weary - I'm not weary
I can take your part

It's eye-open time, sailor
When they want you to pretend
You were inside that playground
You may be old - but not so old
That I can't see
See your old freinds and it's as fresh as dew
But see what's new and it's all the same to you
Now I'm not choosy and I'm just half grown
I took the old man - I gave the old man
I took the old man back home

Safe with us to serenade
To hang around your black scarf and black ways
I have "no idea" he said, "no idea of what I'll do"

And talking less - it chases home
It chases dreams - but I have really no reason, no goal and so
If you "wanna" play real basic
If you "wanna" help us make it
Don't forget you're alone
Unless it's all alone
Don't forget you're alone
Unless it's all alone

You get preyed upon
Ohh oh

I need to complicate you
To make you hate the things you might have done
And come out into the morning
It's the sun you want
Not the foreign time

Oh, you can't say nothing to the pouring rain
And you can't say nothing till there's hope
Again -
(Say) - oh my baby - you must never change
For we're only the ones we love
And I've stood stolen by the pauper's heart
Yes, I've stood stolen where the aching starts
But the way you watched - it's a life apart

For we're only the ones we love
Only
Only
You're the only one who could say
I could love this way
I could love this way

Oh, you can't get even with this kind of pain
But to see you steady brings the calm, again
(Say) - oh my baby - let them stay the same
For we're only the ones we love
And they've seen something which I'll never see
But - I dreamed something when you fell for me
(Yeah), I dreamed something which soars above

For we're only the ones we love
Only the ones we love
Yes, love, and love, mmm, mmm
This love, love
Oh, I get tired - and I get old
But to see you steady brings a flood of gold
(Say, oh, my baby) - I've been taught and told

We're only the ones we love
Only the ones we love
Love, love, mmm, mmm
This love, mmmm, mmm

One day to wonder what's bothering me -
(You said it)
I'm just the half of this - that just won't see -
(Believe it)
If I am wishing I am hoping as well
(Sometimes I)
I tell you clearly
But it's hard to tell

Someone will watch me with an eager eye -
(But I'm not)
I'm not even here, to even try
If the rain stops calling, calling my name
Well, I'm still in the thick of it and bearing the shame

(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me, but one day
You'll wake up and then you'll see

Some times are hard, some times they drag
Well, I can see your face - you've seen the half of this
Maybe, I'm naming all the changes too much
(But see you), you never leave it if you have to touch

(And I will) always be waiting with a happy smile
But the smile is just a laughing
Killer - laugh-a-while
Don't know what I'm doing here
Don't know if I'm sane
But I swear if I'm feeling this -
I'm feeling the pain

(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)Oh, no - you don't deliver in me, but one day
You'll wake up and then you'll see
And I can't be your standards
Wish you away
No, I can't be all this much
See you still have too much to say

Some skies are darkening and call out loud
Well, I'm the good side of you and I'm still proud
To be waiting for lightness when you stray
Well I'm sure that I hear him
He's slipping away

(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me, but one day
You'll wake up and then you'll see

A scene so simple
As if you're carried along
I've seen -
Some strange things and
He says:
"I'm used to winning"
Hearts abound
"I'm used to striking bands"
The sound
I'm used to turning every leading
Story in me
Believe this story in me

The scene's
A young man
It's the same self-same man
It's the - way you won me
A day ago -
It's strange to know so much
Always known too much
always cared so much to take
Believe this story in me
Believe this story in me
Mm Hm Mm Hm Mm Hm

A scene -
So second
A scene -
So second best
I'm sure I'm saving you
When they look around
Here are the gathered
Here is the test of time
Here is what matters - in my heart
Yeah, maybe my heart's blind
In my heart
Yes - maybe my heart's blind
But I'm sure
I'm taking - believe this story in me
Believe this story in me
Mm Hm Mm Hm Mm Hm

Watch young scenery
Watch young
What's been burning here?
well - you know it's
Seen the sun in me
Yes, you now it's
Seen the sun in me
Yes, you know it's warm and I feel better
I feel better, I feel better

It's a long day
For me and my world
It's a long day
To be your girl
It's been a hard times
Spent missing so much
But still I love you
To wish this,
To wishes

It takes some caring
To have enough
It takes some pleasing
To keep us crossed
And growing harder
To keep you crowned
But such a true look can be
To wish this
To wishes

Some dust in my eye
Some movement cries
Some will and won't
Some he has shown me love
It takes a murmur
To keep this touch
It's a murmur
Who wants this touch?
To such a soft heart
It can be found
To hush this longing
To wish this
To wishes

It takes a long day
To find your world
It takes a long day
To be your girl
But it's the right time
To feel this much
I still love you
To wish this
To wishes

Brother - won't you, walk you town?
Don't you ever wanna stray?
See, I've been seeing someone in this town
And they don't wanna stay

Mud in any water - see you
See you laugh and sing
Everbody will be happy
Everbody will bring

Mud in any water - bring me
Never want to be alone
Can't you ever sense it - send me?
Somebody bring me home

Mud in any water
He brings - He don't wanna shy today
'Course the people want their friends
But they don't want their friends true
'Course the people want their friends
But they don't want their friends true

Mud in any water - want you
See you laugh and sing
Everbody will be happy
Everbody will bring

Have a shot at any heaven
Have a shot at any heart
Have a shot at where you're taking
Maybe let me know my heart

Heaven seller
Heaven celebrate
Helps to bring us all around
Mud in any water's danger
But you look to where it's found

I got shot of any harbour
I got shot of any trial
Where the people are so open
Where my openess - a child

Mud in any water - see you
See you laugh and sing
Everbody will be happy
Everbody will bring

Often
Too often closed
With a little beauty
And the right supposing
Suppose I meet you
And make you feel
There is no real reason
Why I be real for you
For you - it's just - a -
A dozen dreamers
This is the way I will it
Sometimes -
I'm sometimes
I'm just, just, just too much
Just too much
And I don't know
And never known
And all I ever want to be
And I can't tell you
I can't tell you
But it's never really near to me
Sunface, sunface, sunface, sunface

And, closing up
And winding down
This little beautiful
This little wonder ground
How would it be
To take your hand
I'm not the easy kind
I'll never understand
And somehow
Make it seem so right
This is the easy child
Who's going to face the light
Sunface, sunface
Some felt it, some felt it
Sunface, sunface
Some felt it, some felt it

And walk around
And touch the view
There is an easy angle
Least that is true
And truth's enough
To make me smile
Everbody's able and
Everybody's trial
And if you're really
High enough
To be the pauper
And take the rough
well the easy time will never be
But your comet's down
And it shines on me
(Just a)
Sunface, sunface, sunface, sunface
Sunface, sunface, sunface, sunface
Sunface, sunface, sunface

Where everybody was
Where everbody go?
Well, I'm so sorry boy
I don't really know
Oh, how did you do today?
Well, I'm telling you this much
I might seem like a paying girl
But I've never had enough

Never known
No - I'm never really known
I ain't never shown
To come alive
And call my own
I'll never be

Where the sweetness settle me
I ain't seen
Where somebody waits for me

Waste half an evening
Wasted half my time
Just to tell how I'm living this
And keeping us in line
Oh, how did you do today?
Well, it never seems to speak
Yes, I'm sure that I'm keeping this
But it's keeping me too weak

Never known
No - I'm never really known
I ain't never shown
To come alive
And call my own
I'll never be
Where the sweetness settle me
I ain't seen
Where somebody waits for me

Old bones steal weakness
Old bones stay sane
All days come on speak to us
You can be what you say
You can be what you say

Air - everybody sings
Everybody dreams
Well, you know how it went for me
But it never seemed to mean
Where everybody needs
Where everybody hides
Where the sweetness settles me
Well you know if you're feeling this
It let's everbody cry

Never known
No - I'm never really known
I ain't never shown
To come alive
And call my own
I'll never be
Where the sweetness settle me
I ain't seen
Where somebody waits for me

I'm gonna build a strange
City overcome
Mad as any
And anyone
Who wants to wish upon me
I will take a city
And it will take the rain
Anybody who sees this face
Will have to blink at this

Strange heart
This stranger
Everbody's angel and
Everbody's friend
Everybody who came around
Will come around again

I will stake this city
And it will take the soil
And anybody who sings me
Will know the trouble's been a
Strange heart
This stranger

Where's yours sincerely?
Where you say you'll be
I sit wrapped in this restless night
Yes - it still comes back to me
Everybody's favoured
And everybody's day
'Cos everytime I see your face
I can see your
Strange heart
This stranger

Amazing -You don't have much to say
Amazing -You don't have much to say
I know your kind all too well
The weather will storm
Will you swear by me?
Would you swear by me?

Innocence -
That changes nothing -
I'm sure
That changes something -
Aside -
Would you go tell it wrong?
Not swear by me
Not swear by me

I'm huddling for the summer inside
The chase brings blues
The habit that grows inside,
It just grows and grows
Right back to you
I'm missing
So what do you say?
Amazing -
That somebody will say
I guess I've seen some very strange faces
Well, we all wind up in the oddest of places
The value of

Swear by me -
You will swear by me
You will swear by me
You will swear by me
You will swear by me
You will swear by me

We don't talk about our better selves
As it is - I survive and survive so well
Yes, y'know it, hovering on the edge of life
Is so exciting
Baby, you can take me home
Because dinner is
Dinner served alone

Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?
Wrapped in foil
Corners are laced with gristle
I trust it's been freshly boiled
Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?
Wrapped in foil
Corners are laced with gristle
I trust it's been freshly boiled

And in the darkness of the avenue
Boys in sharp suits and smiles
Girls with their recipe for romance
Are wide-eyed to the child
And as the stars shine brightly over them

Love will blossom once again
It's hot - got that sizzle
It's sizzle, sizzle, sizzlke
'Til then
Taking home new apprentice
Clearer bubble -
Always very hard to do
Because dinner is -
Dinner served for two

Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?
Wrapped in foil
Corners are laced with gristle
I trust it's been freshly boiled
Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?
Wrapped in foil
Corners are laced with gristle
I trust it's been freshly boiled

And every mother, father and son
Chant little lullabye for one and all to see
What life should be
Waiting for the chance
To hear your life has changed
When baby you can take me home
Because dinner is -
Dinner served alone

Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?
Wrapped in foil
Corners are laced with gristle
I trust it's been freshly boiled
Now, who wants hot pork sandwiches?
Wrapped in foil
Corners are laced with gristle
I trust it's been freshly boiled

Well, our dog beats in his own heart
Our dog was from the start
Not much use in the rain
Not much use in the sun
Put it outside and let the paint run
Put it outside and let the paint run

Well, our mean day was not heaven sent
Couldn't stay, couldn't raise the rent
Couldn't stay-a-little - let us be
Couldn't stay - so we set it free

Hey
Supposing
I meet you
We waste some time
Supposing, I let you
You still be in mind, mind, mind, mind

Enter - kisses not able
Not able to turn some tricks
Not able to give me favours
Not even when I'm thick with it

And my heart wasn't a stranger
But it sure made no sense to me
Made no sense to any flavour that came
Sown in so cautiously

Hey
Hearts still
Yearn to
Make the sign
Watching
You send me in mind, mimd, mind, mind

Well, our old stairs are all the same
The same weather, the same wood stain
You can beep from the left
You can beep from the right
Put it outside and let them turn wide
Put it outside and let them turn wide

Well, no respect, no leniency
Was not ever so well spooked in me
Was not evil so it hangs OK
This is the world in which we play
This is the world in which we play

Hey
Harder
Sane, spent and all awake
Their eyes
Shame me -
With their mistakes
And mine, mine, mine, mine

If I ever wanna be someone
These words undone an evil spell in me
If I ever need to tell someone
This one's who's waiting
So patiently

Good enough
When nothing means enough
It's just time-sweeping
Some time-beaten
Some time with me

If I ever need to hide away
You tell sometime
And still I pray for love
If I ever need to tell too much
You hide sometimes
It never means this love

Good enough
When nothing means enough
It's just time-sweeping
Some time-beaten
Some time with me

I owe you
Not to dance and scar
I owe you
But you never know
No, you never know

If I ever want to shy away
These words, truth spoken
And still I play around
Just to tell you that it's never true
This mind is aching -
It's just for you

Good enough
When nothing means enough
It's just time-sweeping
Some time-beaten
Some time with me

It's just time-sweeping
Some time-beaten
Some time with me
It's just time-sweeping
Some time-beaten
Some time with me

Now - you can't tell me - well,
That you know too much
Well, that you know too much to let go
Now, I can't watch you
Be an
Easy vision
Well an
Easy vision

Lord I love the heaven's solo
I love the heaven so
I love the heaven know by now
That there is a place to

Now you can't tell me -well
I have lived too much
Well - I have lived too much, to know
Now you can't wash me
Like a simple reason
Well a
Simple reason

Lord I love the heaven's solo
I love the heaven so
I love the heaven know by now
That there is a place to

Now you can't tell me - well
I have dreamed enough
Well - I have dreamed enough to know
Now I can dream you
Like an easy vision
Well an
Easy vision

Lord I love the heaven's solo
I love the heaven so
I love the heaven know by now
That there is a place to

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

When the phone calls - I blew it
I'm going home - I blew it
You know, so, well where I'm going
So long - leave me alone

The times change - I don't believe that
The times change
I'm deceived by the hum
Makes all days go circling round me

You were always doing best by me
You were always so true
But here sometimes
In here sometimes
There's still someone watching for you

My love - could not stand all this
To love - could not stand all the heartache
But I won't be taking no sweet silence round here

Sono felice di essere qui
felice di essere con te
In un momento della vita in cui facciamo ciche realmente desideriamo
I vecchi amici adesso guardano chi si ama, si chiedono dove noi finiremo
scambiano sguardi fra loro, e ti accusano, ti accusano
e questo va avanti, avanti, avanti...
Non fare questo a me, smetti di ascoltare, comincia a chiamare il mio nome
basta allontanarti da me, comincia a renderti conto, sono qui;
basta ascoltare, continua a tenermi
sono felice di stare qui, felice di toccare il tuo viso
non ho nulla da temere qui, questi sentimenti non possono essere ignorati
Oh, perchnon ascolti mai? Che cosa mai vuoi?
E' strano come sento di essere, il tipo di persona che sento
un'altra persona non avrei mai voluto essere
tua sempre, sempre, sempre.....
Non faccio questo a te, smetti di ascoltare,
sto continuando a chiamare il tuo nome
Non mi sto allontanando da te, comincia a sentire che sono qui
basta stuzzicarmi, continua a tenermi
puoi essere fragile, non me ne curo, sarsempre qui
Non faccio questo a te, smetti di ascoltare,
sto continuando a chiamare il tuo nome, si lo faccio
Non mi sto allontanando da te, comincia a sentire che sono qui
basta stuzzicarmi, continua a tenermi

Thinking back, could I feel much older? and my stance couldn't feel much colder
Can they tell what I'm getting over now? in the park I've seen you walking
And in my dreams I've heard you talking can they tell what I'm getting over now?
'Cos you light up the world yeah, you light up the world

In this time, and times to come I do not know if your hopes have won
I do not care where you think you'll find it and I do not care if I fall behind
Thinking back I was so much younger thinking back you were so much more tender
Thinking back, will it make me hunger now?

For you, light up the world
Yeah you, light up the world
Well there's something about the girl
Yeah there's something about her world
There's something for everyone

Have you found yourself in the frame of mind?
Where no-one can be too kind
And there's so little lost
There must be a life to trust there
And if I try I know I'll be there
To hold, and be mine

It was a lonely summer where I have been your shelter following your footsteps will you be my first regret?
Sorry if I'm foolish making myself secrets seems to come between us
And we always leave them there, my child always leave them there...

Who will love you?
Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now you're falling
Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody?
Who will hold you?
Do we learn to cry? do we have to hate? does it mean we've loved somebody?

Waiting in the cold like this always feeling nervous hiding in the shadows I'm sure I can't get caught you know
I can't keep together any of my thoughts how they feel but I just came round to talk, you know
Always here to talk...

Who will need me?
Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm losing
Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody?
Who will hold me?
Do we learn to cry? do we have to hate? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm fighting amore si
Does it mean I'm real? does it make me sane?

Who will need me?
Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm losing
Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody?
Who will hold me?
Do we learn to cry? do we have to hate? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm fighting amore si
Does it mean I'm real? does it make me sane?

Now this isn't the party I would hold now, I'm trying to make it on my own
I have opened my house but it's not like a home without you
And I really don't want to feel that you're not here 'cause I would be

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on calling you
Yeah, I'd keep on calling you

No this isn't the season I would have chose
To be walking for miles with nowhere to go
I find shelter and warmth but I still feel the cold without you
And I really don't want to feel that you're not here 'cause I would be

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on calling you
Yeah, I'd keep on calling you

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on holding you
Yeah, I'd keep on holding you

How do you think it feels? when you have a broken heart
Can't you reach out for me? can't you take me baby once again?

The woman smiles, the cafe feels like home to you
And as she glances through the magazine you feel somehow, she's seen you, too

All my life I thought you said
All my life I heard you say
It'll be all right
(All my life)
If you stay for all my life, for all my life

As she turns her face I feel unsure, is it foolish to want much more?
And as I place the moments in the frame it's to these, I return again

All my life I thought you said
All my life I heard you say
It'll be all right
(All my life)
If you stay for all my life, for all my life

Tell me, tell me
We could be together
We could be forever in my company

You don't want to do too much staring at the evening sun
Maybe you cannot stand up but you have become one
I just want to see her smile maybe she will never hurt
And all that I have yearned to touch, well, I have made worse

Is she all you need? ah, you fools first agreed

I don't want to spoil your game every day is bound to change
Making every move seem wise in her dark eyes
No, I don't want to be the clown making like I've seen too much
When everything from here is down I am the head-rush

Is she all you need? would you steal from me?
Is she all you see?

And the sky, the sky, the sky is shining the sky, the sky is mine

Now I don't want to lose at love maybe you would take the chance
Struggling in anothers world I'm just losing at once

Is she all you need? (she all you need?)
She's been too far, too far from me
And she's all, all, all, that you see
Yea, the sky, the sky is mine
Yea, the sky, the sky is mine

I don't want to lose at love I don't want to lose at love
Now, the sky, the sky was mine yeah the sky was mine the sky, the sky was mine the sky was mine
I don't want to lose at love I don't want to lose at love
I don't want to lose at love I don't want to lose at love

i must have left my house at eight because I always do my train,
i'm certain left the station just when it was due
i must have read the morningpaper, going into town and having gotten through the editorial no doubt
i must have frowned
i must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
with letters to be read and heaps of paper waiting to be signed
i must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so the usual place, the usual
bunch and still on top of this I'm pretty sure
it must have rained the day before you came
i must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
and at the time I never even noticed I was blue
i must have kept on dragging
through the business of the day and without really knowing anything I hid
a part of me away at five I must have left there's no exception to the rule
a matter of routine I've done it ever since
i finished school the train back home again undoubtedly
i must have read the evening paper then
oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame the day before you came
i must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
and stopped along the way to buy some chinese food to go
i'm sure I had my dinner watching something on tv there's not,
i think, a single episode of dallas that I didn't see
i must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
i need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then
i must have read a while the latest one by marilyn french or something in that style
it's funny but I had no sense of living without aim
the day before you came
and turning out the light
i must have yawned and cuddled up to yet another night
and rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
the day before you came

What do you do for fun? what do you do when you want fun days?
I could be just anyone I'm happy to smile and mad on mondays
The world is a better place now every time I see your face

If I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you
If I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you

Everytime I hear your voice everytime I feel you're near to me
Will you ever make a choice will you ever be that real for me?
The friendship feeling's fine I just want you to be mine

if I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you
if I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you

He comes alive, she comes alive, he comes alive, she comes alive
He comes alive, she comes alive, he comes alive, she comes alive

You can make a madman sane you can make the winters warm again
Promise me you'll never change promise me you'll always stay the same
Cos the world is a better place now every time I see your face

If I ever ever get through to you
If I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you
If I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you
If I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you

If we ever get together we can always make it better
If we ever get together we can always make it better

Share our coffee share my thoughts I could wait for years
I don't know if you're an angel or I'm just feeling weird
I like this picture but I don't want to work to hard and I ask you for a number
You say "hey, baby if I'm an angel maybe you should take my card"

Baby I got time for you but can you thrill me? really thrill me
Baby I got time for you but can you thrill me? really thrill me

I'm not silence into hiding I want the words you say
And if it seems we take the same, well...when I feel lucky, I feel lucky

Baby I got time for you, yeah if you do me, really do me
Baby I got time for you, yeah if you show me, really show me

Oh, well, I like this one
Oh, yeah, well I like this one
I-I-I like this one
Yeah, yeah, I like this one yeah

I wore a watch today it didn't tell me the time
I saw your face today I knew you'd see through mine
Does it help a lot? to see I'm on the spot never understood

But I knew you yea I knew you
But I knew you yea I knew you

I heard your voice today turn into what is best
I felt your soft caress turn into something less
Don't make me sound alive don't make me sound a - hurt
Don't make me, make - believe

'cause I knew you yea I knew you
Yes I knew you yea I knew you

It doesn't make me lie doesn't make you wise
Do not analyse 'cos I'd always cry
Does it help a lot just to see you through 'cos, I'll never know

But I knew you yea I knew you
But I knew you yea I knew you
La la la la la la ah la la la la la la ah

Nobody would know your name nobody would know your name
Is anybody know his name ...I knew you

You don't want to do too much
Staring at the evening sun
Maybe you cannot stand up
But you have become one

I just want to see her smile
Maybe she will never hurt
And all that I have yearned to touch,
Well, I have made worse

Is she all you need?
Ah, you fools first agreed

I don't want to spoil your game
Every day is bound to change
Making every move seem
Wise in her dark eyes

No, I don't want to be the clown
Making like I've seen too much
When everything from here is down
I am the head-rush

Is she all you need?
Would you steal from me?
Is she all you see?

And the sky, the sky,
The sky is shining the sky,
The sky is mine

Now I don't want to lose at love
Maybe you would take the chance
Struggling in anothers world
I'm just losing at once

Is she all you need? (she all you need?)
She's been too far, too far from me
And she's all, all, all, that you see
Yea, the sky, the sky is mine
Yea, the sky, the sky is mine

I don't want to lose at love
I don't want to lose at love
Now, the sky, the sky was mine
Yeah the sky was mine the sky,
The sky was mine the sky was mine
I don't want to lose at love
I don't want to lose at love
I don't want to lose at love
I don't want to lose at love

Well, he said it like he meant it
But he did not really care
So I sat upon the Eve's embraces
I was never there -
No, I was never really fabled
I was never really lost
I was cunning through that habit of mine
Y'see all the words were lost
Yes, all the words were lost

And you can stand upon your own life
Say it always seemed to seal
There were smiles upon the picture
But I don't know what to feel
And I told a million stories
And I sat down to risk half
But I never really meant it
'Til you came and stole my heart away
You came and stole my heart away

And even if your real thought
Hid a thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today

Well, the rain scales up
And your soul is drowned
And mother's saying still raise a frown
And mother's saying still makes you see
What you have lost instead of me

And even if your real thought
Hid a thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today

And even though the starlight falls
And takes your breah away
You still stare up towards the toss
I don't know what to say
I don't know how to be alone
With some kind fretless friend
And even though the Harvest brings
Well, we all begin again
I say we all begin again

And even if your real thought
Hid a thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today
It all, it all, all, all
All came back today

I would like this sun
Be spoke until I find
I was all remembrance
Until the words got tired

We almost got it together
And I'll be your favourite thing
Stand by the river with hard-luck eyes
And I'll just be open and sing
I was only trying to surprise
I wish I was like the frog-princess
And I'd never tell you lies
And down by the soil of the hard-life
They like to greet us with smiles
They like to tell us their good hostess
Had travelled a million miles
But you'd like it written closer
Yes, you'd like it written pure
If I told you this -
Would you miss my kiss?
No - you'd come right back for more

Oh, I'd like to be
What I want to be
But you want to carry on
But you need to take
What you have to take
But I'll still be here when you're gone

And there's a light by your window
And I'd like to capture you by there
And I'd like to hold you for all to see
But they don't really care
And if I said you're no peccadillo
Yes, I said you're a major thing
Would you stand by me?
At the corner dock
And say, "yes, this girl is the swing!"

Oh, I'd like to be
What I want to be
But you want to carry on
But you need to take
What you have to take
But I'll still be here when you're gone

And I'd like another cue
That's why I strain to see
And I'd like the best in you
'Cos you write the best in me
They were sure that I'd be burning
Yes -
So their tart swerve to here might be
But if I said "you're gold
ffb
, inside",
Yes and if you were true to me
Would you hang around with that creepy smile
And crawl home back to me

Oh, I'd like to be
What I want to be
But you want to carry on
But you need to take
What you have to take
But I'll still be here when you're gone

I have a picture
It's taken with looks
It wont tell a story
But I'm glad I forgot everything that you say

I choose the colours
And reword the lines
Now somebody's second heart
Ain't the first of mine

Consider the rain now
Out in the cold
Maybe I love you
But our dreams grow old
Outbid my fortune
Out to just win
Tell me that summer
Is coming on in

I got my wallet
Been shot from the start
Feel shot when I'm feeling drained
But we all know how to smile when we're falling apart

You choose the colours now
Let's play with the rest
I never believe at all
But some of us sometimes,
Are just thrilled, by meeting the blessed

Consider the rain now
Out in the cold
Maybe I love you
But our dreams grow old
Outbid my fortune
Out to just win
Tell me that summer
Is coming on in

I have the oath ring, somebody said
Makes like a twinge running straight through my head
Maybe this fortune is not what it seems
Some of us pin, some of us pin time on our dreams

And saved from the talk shifts
Went straight to your goal
Straight backed and straight laced
Well, you never really
Do you ever really know?

I check on the same day
I checked out the view
I checked all the soft land
Well, it comes so easy from you

Consider the rain now
Out in the cold
Maybe I love you
But our dreams grow old
Outbid my fortune
Out to just win
Tell me that summer
Is coming on in

As always I stop to speak
Some girls like to say their piece
As always I turn to you
Don't understand what you're doing
And

Light up this town
Grow weary and back down
It's such an amazing sight
To be found -
Little sister leaving town

Says the poet "I won't grass"
Some things are better left and not taken to task
I guess I knew she was a Rose
She knows what hurts and how to hold

If your daddy he turned round
Let the grass around him scream the sound
I'm so sorry for these tales you're telling
Sometimes you can't account

Light up this town
Grow weary and back down
It's such an amazing sight
To be found -
Little sister leaving town

And sometimes it's absurd
A minor triumph when you hear the words
"I'm just trying to stake my place
No real fears upon this face"

And my wishes
Nobody says
All the signs when I cross the days
I'm just holding back for you
Sometimes that helps too

Light up this town
Grow weary and back down
It's such an amazing sight
To be found -
Little sister leaving town

You know it's alright
Just to take me home
To your serious house, with your serious tones
You're a serious man, with a serious smile
But the summer is hot and I might surprise you

In a very short while we'll have left them behind
With their faces quite pained
As they try to remind themselves
Oh, it's really so wrong
It's really so out
And it's really not cool to take a young girl about

And I know the young man with a century's face
A philosopher king - he will try to amaze
With examples of love and examples of hate
And to see them explode
We will just have to

It's a simple love story
It grows better all the time
You can tell me all about it
But first I'll tell you about mine

You know it's alright to be trustful, have tact
But the problem's complex
When you keep holding back
We could talk for an hour
We could talk for a day
But the people we know would still have their say

Talk of such virtuous women
Talk of such noble men
But if I'm on the level I have met none of them
Oh, I've met troubled people with deep and dark thoughts
Who have hallowed my name
And sworn I will get caught
But why waste real feeling and
Why waste our time
To let the earth bow to no virtue of

It's a simple love story
It grows better all the time
You can tell me all about it
But first I'll tell you about mine

You know it's alright to just make mistakes
But to tail in with hurt - is the gravest make
We all create lives which we don't understand
But to point the accused is a job for no man
And we curse our own longing - and curse our own ways
I won't be satisfied with my soul that's

It's a simple love story
It grows better all the time
You can tell me all about it
Now I've told you about mine

Young thing - saw it
And calls his brother
And brother's angry
You make the whole world cry
You can't tell me
I rid my secret
You can't own me
You make the whole world cry
Young thing downing
And it maybe hurting
And it maybe the best day you ever had

And I've gone courting
And I'm just chasing

But baby, you make the whole world cry
Yes, you make the world cry
I tell you honestly
Yeah, I tell you honestly

So we go dancing
And you start laughing
And I start choosing
A room to hide in
But I'm not hiding
And I'm not running, anymore

so it's so good
And it's so bad
And it's walk
To the end of you're so sure of yourself

Baby you make the whole world cry
Yeah, you make the whole world cry
Yeah, you make the whole world cry
Yeah, you make the whole world cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

Elephant
Ain't going home
Ain't going home
To be your friend

Elephant
Ain't going home
To start a fire
To be your friend

Elephant
Ain't going home
Ain't going out
To start a fight

Elephant
To start a fire
To be your friend
It isn't right

Elephant
Hate being short
Hate being long
Hate being lost

Hate being round
Hate being round about your lost cause

Elephant
Ain't getting wired
Ain't getting lied to all the time

Elephant
I can't hear
I can't hear
The one you want

But it makes more sense
To be near the riverside
Yeah, it makes more sense
'Cos the grass grows high
It makes more sense
To be near to you baby

The very, very, very, very sad truth is
I never think sensibly
Thr very, very, very, very, very sad truth is
I never think
Bothers me

Elephant
Getting tired
Getting lied to
All the time

Elephant
You make it
You make it seem
So available

Elephant
Ain't going down
Ain't going down
To take a look

To take a look
Would bring me down
Would bring me down
Elephant

I'm not there
If ever I was there
I'm sure I was never so bold
If ever I spoke so - I'm sure it's trouble

Not my trouble
I'm not so sure if I control this laughter
Everything herafter
Everything is bound to be trouble
Yeah, not my trouble
Trouble
No, not my trouble
If I was to blame
I'm sure we'll work it out
If I was to blame
I'm sure it was about

Trouble
Not my trouble
It's not my game
It's not mine
It's not my game

There is a tired face
A hiding to nothing face
A face that you keep to explore this trouble
You trouble me more and more
Trouble me more

I'm not certain
I ever could explain
Never certain
But I do need to explain

Trouble
Not my trouble
Trouble
It's not mine

When we were young and you pretended
You were almost bothered as me
Does it make you sad?
Almost sorry as me?
When we were young and you pretended
That the world was ours - how we see
Does it make you sad?
And make you sorry?
Almost sorry as me

I grant you
Time can make a fool of all of us
These words once mine - hang on, hang on
And yet they don't belong
Mmm. They don't belong

Now we get old and you've defended
All the world as it likes to be

Does it make you sad?
Does it make you sorry?
Almost sorry for me
Can you get lost inside a feeling?
Does you almost feel for me?
Does it make you sad?
And make you sorry?
Almost sorry for me?

I grant you
Shine and scare the fool inside of us
These words once mine drag on, drag on
And yet they do belong
Mmm. They do belong

When we were young - and you were grounded
Didn't you ever want to go free
Soes it make you sad?
And make you sorry?
You're not a fool like me

When we were young - and we were running
Didn't you ever want to run free?
Didn't it make you sad?
And make you sorry?
To wander whio you are
I grant you are
I grant you

Baby, there'll be time
Time alone - this tired old body
Time alone - and tired old body
Will be healed
Baby, they'll be blessed
Just a walk away
Just a walk away, baby
Heal you, heal you

My oh my, my oh my
My oh my, my oh my

Baby, there'll be me
Standing in the corner
Baby, there'll be me
Standing here for you
Heal you, heal you

And there'll be the day
All the days you pray for
Yeah, there'll be the day
All the days you pray for
Heal you, heal you

My oh my, my oh my
My oh my, my oh my

And the scent of you
Will be always ever
Was it always ever?
Heal you, heal you

Can you Tell me?
Can you see it?
My eyes dreamt it
My eyes sent it a thousand pieces
'Course I love it
It makes me cold
Amongst the ashes
Drinking the rainbow

Can you tell me?
How to turn?
The very feelings, the very feelingd
That make me burn
The very music I have heard
Inside your heart
To drink the rainbow - I try very hard
To drink the rainbow - I try very hard

You should want me
To take along
The very seasons, the very seasons
I've waited on
The very music I have heard
Inside your heart
To drink the rainbow
I try very hard
To drink the rainbow
I try very hard

Can you show me?
Where it leads?
The very feelings, the very feelings
That make me bleed
The very music I have heard
Inside your heart
To drink the rainbow - I try very hard
To drink the rainbow - I try very hard
To drink the rainbow - I try very hard

I'm
Just out
I'm
Just out
Of my bed
And if I
Need some money
I will go
Get some money

And if I'm
I'm just out
I'm just out
On the town
And if I need some money
I will go get some money

And I
I'm just down
I'm just down
On my luck
And if I
Need another
I will go
Find a lover

And if things
They work out
I'll continue
To seek
Happiness is
Happiness is
Happiness is
All around and worth the waiting
All around and worth the waiting

And I
I'm just out
I'm just out to friends and family
Well I
I'm unpaid
I'm not skilled
I'm not scared

I'm just out
On the town
As the town it seems so
Funny sometimes
How can you smile?
When you're down
On your luck

And if things
They work out
I'll continue
To seek
Happiness is
Happiness is
Happiness is
All around and worth the waiting
All around and worth the waiting

It blows my mind
To think you're mine
It blows my mind
To think you're mine

And I'm
Just out
Of the times
That we spent together
Oh, I
Always count, all the dreamtime
And I
Am not out
On the town
For any funny feeling
I
I'm just down
On my luck
I am down
On my luck
I am down
On my luck
I am down

Beat up English
In a beat up town
And I'm beat up black and blue
Oh, I do not have the energy
And I'm beat up street
And I'm beat up tight
And we've been so drawn together, each other
I do not have the energy

And wisdom
Trip over again
Wisdom
Trip over again
You beat it
Stepping stones
Or standing up
I'm shivering on stones
Hot stones

In a wipe down England
With it's worn out grace
With a picture postcard, baby, hallelujah
I love your face
In a wise up England
To a wake up place
Oh, I do not like the way you shower me
No, I do not like the way you shower me
And I do not have the energy

In a beat up England
With a beat up face
It's a why oh why did I ever get lost in this?
It's the tired old hands
Come to tire me out
And the tired old hands
They yearn to shout
But I do not have the energy

You give
More than me
And you live like
Men and women
In the shade
More than me
Yes, you hide like
Men and women
Men and women
Jealous, born
And young at heart
And these walls like
Men and women
Men and women

Yeah - yeah
Yeah - yeah

And chance alone
Are gifts I give
And watered down
To men and women
Men and women

And the drag past
And the walk past
And the days last long
And your eyes shine
And I see mine in them
And I see myself
Men and women
Men and women

My babe lets the moonshine
My babe likes to sail
When you need a reason
Baby's reason
My babe wants a show stopper
To come on board and dance
When there's reason
Any reason
Baby's reason
I can drive for miles and miles
I can drive for miles and miles around
My babe wants a warm coat
To keep him shuffling on
Just get along, just to get along
My babe wants to tell you
But talking don't seem fair

My babe needs a reason
Any reason
Any reason, any reason
Any place I'll drive you baby
Any place I'll drive you baby, yes

My babe wants the use of you
To really lose himself
My babe wants to see you
To see you help yourself
To any reason
Baby's reason
Any reason
My babe's sure a short boy
Although he thinks he's fine
Never greet a liar
'Cos any reason is any reason
Any reason is any reason
'Cos any reason
Is baby's reason
And any reason
Any reason's fine

We're not talking
I'm not talking sensibly enough
You know the soul of a man is many coloured
Soul of a man one to another
Wants you another day

I'm not wishing on a star
Talk
The soul of a man is many coloured
Soul of a man wants you another
Another day

From the airport
To be by your side
From a reading
And that's the one
That hurts my pride
From the church yard
Into your trust
To the talk
That we must, we must rekindle
To the way I want you
To the way I don't want
Nothing from you
Nothing from you
Nothing from you

You know the soul of is man is many coloured
Soul of a man is many coloured
The soul of a man one to another
Want you another day

All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear
In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

We just poked a little empty pie
For the fun people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

Cup of tea, take time to think, yeah
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light
Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
