Yeah!
Slow french kissing with the dauphins daughter
If I fall in love now Ill be floating in seine
Plastered in paris
Ive had an eiffel
Gonna make my escape on the midnight train
Choo, choo to you
Choo, choo to you
Charting the single
Schnapping my fingers on an alcoholic day
Sniff round a fraulein when Im scent to co... |
I feel so strange; whats wrong with me?
Youve got a problem that you cant see
But Ive got a feeling that the rumours are true
I see the girl got a hook in you
You carry on believing
That you can take or leave it
Now who are you deceiving?
Cause when its own up time, shes in the back of your mind
Shes got her hooks in y... |
Youre gone as suddenly as you came to me
Like nightfall followed dawn without a day between
Youre gone and suddenly I cant see
Im in the shadow of you
Im in the shadow of you
I can see you in my minds rose-tinted eye
Somewhere youre drifting by
Your heels rolling sparks on the lucky street
While here am I, left behind

The Remainers remain in their homely places
Go home, wash their faces, lay down their heads
As the Leavers take with them their lonely craziness
Our fast-moving laughter
Our fast-moving beds
And our hearts slowly lose focus
Like gypsies at fairs
We will meet someone new somewhere else |
How long can you stand
Tightening up
Avoiding the fight
Avoiding the truth
Tighten the smile
Tighten the lie
Will you get what you want
To be cursed with your dreams
I hope for your sake
Something gets in the way
How long can you stand
Living under the lens
The kiss of success
The ensuing, all consuming, mess
Message o... |
What do you do when your roots have dissolved and broken down
And the soil that you grew in when you were small
Has become nothing more than dirt in some dirty town
When you list all the qualities that you despise
And you realize Youre describing yourself
And breakin someone up inside
Is your only source of pride |
We saw the crash on the news today …oh boy
It changed our lives
But did it really happen?
Flyin high in a scary sky
Flyin high in a scary sky
Whats going on?
Whats going on?
Whats going on?
I dont know if I can believe the news

Therell come a time when all of this is over
Something else will grow and take its place
The brand new car:scrap metal in a junkyard
The children playing will grow up and leave home
Put it away this dream you cant stop dreaming
Put it away this anger and desire
The open road is infinitely hopeful
Take all those memorie... |
There are scars in our eyes
From a thousand goodbyes
That was great
You can write
But I wont reply
You know we are the Leavers - I’ll tell you a secret…
Its better to leave us alone
Its been terrific to know you
But we really cant stay
Tomorrows new country
Calls us home
…for the day |
You give up hope
You settle down
With your favourite soap...
Now wash your hands |
A hundred nights of fun and games
A thousand empty glasses
I feel it change
And stay the same
As each day passes
They invite me to their gatherings
In the finer parts of town
They seem attracted to my indifference
The irony just knocks me out
And I love them as if I love them
And they reciprocate with help
But I look u... |
Saw you walking on your velvet lawn
Is it lonely on the moon?
You took a dive and swallowed all you could
Did you drink too much too soon?
Nothing left for you to fight about
And no-one wants to see you try
The nearest neighbours are a mile away
Does the ocean hear you cry?
Punching at the sky
They say the King is losi... |
Theres a hot hard hurt
Burning under her skin
And it pricks her like thorns
And its needles and pins
And it twists in her body
And I know what it is
And Im paying in pain
But its the cost of the high
Till the weight of the secret
And the weight of the lie
Makes my heart want to burst
Feel the ache as time goes by
Getti... |
Theres a line on her jeans, that a ballpoint made
From a careless mistake, that she cant wash away
And theres a heart on her sleeve, from a spill of red wine
Theres a piece of green in the blue of her eyes
She named it after me
Theres a stay dog she feeds, that she found in the street
And he loves her to hold him, but ... |
As you lie there on your bed
Beneath the face of Louise Brooks
With your makeup and your teddy bear
And your C. S. Lewis books
Bad seed
Youre a bad seed
Youre a decadent in chrysalis
Waiting sleepily to emerge
When youll visit every seedy need
Of your random obsessive urge
All the ruses that you use
All the food that y... |
Such a pretty girl
The anger didnt hide it
You shaved your head, pulled a face
Dressed yourself up without grace
It didnt hide a lifetimes damage
It didnt hide a lifetimes fears
Against your better judgement
You put your whole self up for sale
The horror show when you were young
We couldnt wait to hear about it
But eve... |
Midnight suns bid moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk
Mountains echo, curfews bell, signal ending tasks
They place their faith in oaken doors, cower in candlelight
The panic seeps through bloodstained floors as Grendel stalks the night
Earth rim walker seeks his meals
Prepare the funeral pyres
The shapers songs... |
One day Ill play you sounds that cant be made
Theyll sing in you from somewhere inside your head
Youll never hear them from the earth or the air
Youll never hear them from the outside world
Youll hear it happen inside you
Youll hear it happen inside you
Silent and high
Silent and high
Sounds that cant be made

A wise man once said
A flower is only
A sexual organ
Beauty is cruelty
And evolution
A wise man once said
That everything could be explained
With mathematics
He had denied
His feminine side
Now where is the wisdom in that?
I came just as fast as I could
Through the dirty air
Of your neighbourhood
Your name on a grain o... |
I was out in the cold of a north london street
A cog in the hurrying world
Above the walls and the gate police
I caught a glimpse of a Holloway girl
She was reachin out of a window
From a space just a few inches wide
till the hand of justice pulled her back inside
One day, freedom will unlock your door
Hold on. Believe... |
I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Garden
Heading out west for the Lothian Road
An evening news stuffed deep in the pocket
Little did I know that even a heavy load
I found us walking Griersons dockyards
Where the only thing working was foreign film crews
Making an impressive documentary
For the big news
To the sat... |
I went to Morrisons grave at Pere Lachaise cemetery
The stony flowers and the matching graffiti were guiding me
To the steps inside of me
And what would you do if I got down on my knees to you
What would you do if I lied to your face
Could you still hold your dreams
Could you live with your silent face
So what would yo... |
Turn your life upside down
Take a car into town
Wait until the worlds asleep
And tear it up and never stop again
Take a train to the sea
Stay up all night ... and be
It only takes a fraction of a second
To turn your life upside down
Take a train to the sea
Be anyone you want to be
A little spark of light inside your mi... |
The only unforgivable thing
Hauls itself out of bed
Looks over my shoulder
At the Bloodyenglishweather
The only unforgivable thing
Waits for me in the corner of the room
Laughs as I clean my teeth
Laughs as I rub at my eyes
The only unforgivable thing
Is curled up in the wardrobe with my clothes
Sticks like chicken bon... |
This rock-star trip. Some serious ship
White-knuckle journey blackened my
Eye and cut my lip
Better to be a doctor or a man who
Walks the earth
Hedonistic laughing boys
Whats any of it worth?...
Look at myself
Look at myself
Escaped to the car
Drove to a bar somewhere
The beautiful game
Such a thin line between love an... |
200 fates entwined inside the plane
We watched as England dropped away from us again
I wasnt waiting, I wasnt sure what I would find
I was prepared to let it happen on its own this time
I had a feeling I was floating into time spent amongst friends
Reintroduced from other strange and wonderful weekends
As the seat belt... |
Well she tied me to the headboard with a surf leash
And her wet hair hugged her body like a long-lost friend
And I really tried my best to get across to her
But nothing she would say could be defended
Well her birthday suit it was her only present
When I looked into her eyes - no history
And I told her eating people wa... |
This train is my life
Speeding through the night
We have been to these places
For barely a moment
Wide awake
Sometimes sleeping
Sometimes watching
Sometimes dreaming
Through stroby stations
Too fast to know their names
Too fast to know if we came or will come again
Sleeping towns joined together
By the steel of the rai... |
Cover my eyes
The light falls on her face
Dangerous lines
Dangerous colours and shapes
Ferocious designs
Connected and ready to play
Buttoned up tight
Crimson and Halloween-white
Shes like the girl in the movie when the Spitfire falls
Like the girl in the picture that he couldnt afford
Shes like the girl with the smile... |
I heard the battle raging on the other side of the wall
Buried my head in a pillow and tried to ignore it all
Every night when I hear you I dream of breaking down your door
An avenging knight in shining armour to rescue you from it all
From the family business
When I see you in the supermarket
With sunglasses in the sh... |
Theres something I have to tell you
Before its too late
Theres someone needs a timing
I could be the same
Got to listen to you clearly
Would you understand it all
Would you hold it all together
Do we run up in the bar
Everyone needs someone to listen to
If you dont want to shine on
Could you know it all
And if someone ... |
Every day at 5 am
If youre down or in a mess
Get off on Angelina
When youve stayed up far too late
Fallen through the door in a state
Call her at the premium rate
Tune in to Angelina
Dont touch that dial
Dont go to bed
Dont read a book
Call up instead
Angelina takes requests
Every day at 5 am

I was taught from much too young
To never give myself away
Yes I was taught for every secret
Theres a price you have to pay
An accident of gender
An accident of birth
That holds me to this point of view
This time and place on earth
This time and place on earth
You ask me how Im feeling
I only wish you knew
How hard it ... |
Ive got a photograph
I took a picture of you
I took your photograph in front of my favourite view
You play the part so well
You look so sure and free
No one could ever tell that you belong to me
And cause you lie so well
Ive got to pin you down
Under lock and key
So you will always be in my in my collection
If you cant... |
At that time of the night
When streetlights throw crosses through window frames
Paranoia roams where the shadows reign
Oh, at that time of the night
At that time of the night
Your senses tangled in some new perfume
Criticism triggers of a loaded room
Oh, at that time of the night
So if you ask me
How do I fell inside

Did you ever feel that just by jumping on a plane
All your cares would drop away and youd be born again
Returning to a nature child happy wild and free
But forgetfulness is a river and you know where the river leads
Holidays in Eden
Life before the fall
See no, hear no, speak no evil
Feel no guilt, feel no guilt at all... |
I can imagine nothing more tedious
Than trying to have fun with you again
Maybe its just something in my mind
But I hate feeling like Im trying all the time
Its a kind of lie
When we pretend that were still friends
Im sure youre not exactly short of people to
Hang out and laugh at your jokes
Tell you you look great
You... |
On the rebound, fumbling all the lines
The light at the end of the bottle - alcoholic alphabet
Through the looking glass the proof in my own reflection
Five senses down and reeling on the Cinderella search
On the rebound, fumbling all the lines
Decay on the vertical hold with a horizontal aim

She bought a bottle of cider
From the shop on the corner
They didnt stop her
Thought she was older
She took a bus ride
To a name and a number
A house full of music
And a hat full of wonder
And some of the people that
She thought that she knew
Were never like this
When she saw them at school
Shes never been anywhere lik... |
Everything to decide
Its time I came up with some answers before I can carry on
Its time I made my mind up before we can go along
And I thought it was so simple
And I knew that it could be so fine
I know that the places that everything comes
Rose beds scattered across the lawn
Like the squares at Waterloo

A man came to drill holes in the afternoon
And by the evening
Most of the afternoon had gone
I seem to have slept through the morning
But in the afternoon
A morning is yet to come
A girl came to help out in the kitchen
And by the evening
We found we were all washed up
We ate on the lawn
With the insects
We burned incen... |
There were almost four hundred until the black day
I discovered how high they would fly to the sky
If you used them for tennis instead of a ball..
Zinging glass satellites crueller than fate
Whacked with a racket up into the blue

And a crowd formed a queue at the gate.. |
We are led by the light at the end of the tunnel
We are guided by the fires of our burning dreams
Were inspired by our ideals and driven by conscience
To cross what the cynics perceive as naive
We the people want it straight for a change
We the people are getting tired of your games
We the people want the answers laid ... |
Shes older than me
I dont care about them talking
Why cant they see
Ive got all that I need
All the pretty young things
Seem suddenly boring
When I look in her eyes
All the world is behind
Every line on her on her face
Is a place and a memory
When our fingers touch
All the years fall away
Mistakes that she made

Reality is something that you rise above
We dont see things as they are, we see them as we are
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run
The fearful fall foul of fate as often as the reckless
You dont need money to be rich anyhow
Spending yourself is what its all about
No tears
No lies
No pain
No doubt
No darkness
No... |
Watching the people on the street today she couldnt help but smile
Watchin the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis
Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit
This is the day she walks away
And the lights of the city pushin a good time
Asking her out tonight
But shes saving her money for a... |

When I was a child I had marbles
They brought admiration and fame
They were pretty to look at and marbles
Was always my favourite game
We played all the summer days
In the stony alleyways
In the playground after class
We would trade the coloured glass
More valuable than diamonds
More magical than diamonds
Did anyone se... |
Dressed in black, no turning back
We blanked out on the Great White Way
Fingers in desires crack
Wed bridge and tunnel into day
Abandoned to the salt of skin
Abandoned to the highway
Sand running in the hourglass
Heat of leather and mirages
So how do we now come to be afraid of sunlight
So how do we now come to be afra... |
Here today
Gone this afternoon
Another tune we almost remember
Whats the story
Sex and drugs again
Business as usual
The clocks already ticking

Staring at the TV

Now they scream
As they run after him

Things come wrapped up in time
Like the past in a present
Or the perfect line in a song
They take their time
And when theyre gone
They take their time with them
And you cant have them back

And their time has gone with them
The time for them has gone
Theres an echo of them

Lids that close and time that slows the rapid eye
There is no dreaming in the grave
Youll never look into those eyes again
In this world, in this world
So bend your head
The way that flowers bend their heads

Bend your head
The way that flowers bend their heads
Love has died
But love i... |

Storm clouds cruising cross the blue skies
Shadows float across the fields of barley
I find myself an island in an island
I have to sort things out just my way
And all I find is my bar
To laugh to me I say
Like all you know is true
Is for every time we know its mine
I saw clouds cruise floating cross the blue sky

I had this dream. That monkey inside ome
Gone skulkin away
Leavin me seeing.. Being

Drinking lemon tea
And feeling free
Chilling in the sunshine
On this dreamy street |
Just when I thought Id seen the last of you
You come here scratchin at my door
Your pain and angers in the howling dark
Of every corridor I walk
So tell me more about the love that you rejected
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
I still dont know, why did you hurt the very one?
Why did you hurt the very one ... |
I wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree
By the standing pool where you drank me
And filled me full of thirsty love
And the memory of water?
‘Wonder if a king still fishes there
His back toward the burned out air
His laughing catches singing loud
The memory of water
Your taste is blood and ecstasy
But I must d... |
Today! I saw music in the sky
I drove towards it in my car
And I turned left and I turned right
But I could never lose the light
That shines towards tomorrow night
Who can say what it means?
What goes on in between
And what gets in between
Its just somethin
Between you and me
Between you and me
Between you and me

I’ve been feeling kind of down and loose
Like a Rosicrucian pope
Head down deep in the womb of time
Carrying a message of hope
My hands steady as a hangman’s hands
Surer than the hangman’s rope
I could sleep for invisible years
Carrying a message of hope
For the future
For the future

Her green plastic watering can for her fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man in a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself,- it wears her out

Crumbles and burns

Can you make it your own
Can you take it by the throat
Make your own luck, learn the skills
Get in early for the kill

Pick up the weapon
Marry it, give it your name
Define yourself by it

Trigger happy, pulling power
Lady killer, take em out

The sky was Bible black in Lyon
When I met the Magdalene
She was paralyzed in a streetlight
She refused to give her name
And a ring of violet bruises
They were pinned upon her arm
Two hundred francs for sanctuary
And she led me by the hand
To that room of dancing shadows
Where all the heartache disappears
And in the gl... |
What a time this is
Everything changing
Faster than the eye can blink
Faster than we can stop & think
What will the future hold?
Well whatever..

But say youll be there
If you cant love me tonight
Just remember the light
Remember the light
Thank you whoever you are

The love that pounds your heart through your chest every night
Until the bed jumps beneath you and scares you white
Trap the spark and hold it there
You cant. You cant
Goose-bumps that dont fade away
They cant remain
Ive opened the box and Ive touched the treasures of the earth
Theyre buried on the island far away

Tonight I lost 90% of what was left..

Tears I never cried

Milk unopened, Im gone

Did you ever fall in love
Did you ever fall in love
Did you ever fall in love
Did you ever dream of falling
If my heart were a ball

We are told what is right
Need hurts within us
We can see sense
We can feel what feels right

When we were young we used to say
Things would be different
One fine day
The walls would crumble
Nations sing as one

Cause so far it hasnt come
Listening to the pouring rain
Waiting for the world to change
Beginning to wonder if well wait in vain
For one fine day
Oh, how years change

In our house
Twos a crowd
You threw me out
Of my own life
You seem want to be a friend
In our house
Twos a crowd
No more trouble
No more strife
You seem to be at your wits end
I tore apart my oldest friend
How my heart jumped
And may head thumped
As this hard earth
Came up and bumped
As I was dumped
And you threw me ou... |
It used to rain
Dreary and grey
Most every day but not any more
We come out of our homes
We lie down
Under the cloud that never comes
We roll in the radiation
And we make love
Under the sun
Under the sun
The polar ice is melting
Suits me fine
We go to the beach
On the Northern Line
We watch the sea
Comin up the street

I am the man from the planet Marzipan
Good to see you
My eyes are screwed up tight, unaccustomed to the light
And all my arms and all my legs are much too long
Much too long
My head is in a state, unaccustomed to the weight
I wear this mild expression, Im an alien to aggression
Music only does me in my skins so thin

Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall

Some of us want a fast car
Some of us want to stand and gaze
Some of us pine for the great outdoors
Some of us wont leave the house for days
Some of us have died for their freedom
Some are quite happy in the cage
Some think a wild time
Is what they want at night
But freedom to sleep
Would be complete delight

In the after-silence fighting leaves behind
I try to think it over
But my minds gone blind
I lost the right to argue somewhere down the line
I had to tell

Home truths tear in a home
Married to this hurting
I know its all my fault

What I have here in my heart
Is like faith, but not faith
For those without faith also have
What I have here in my heart
What I have here in my hand

Thats why I am here
What I have here in this room
Is knowledge without proof
What I have here in my hands
This is what I feel for you

An island in the sea

Into the noise of a million lives
A garden of Eden

Goodnight my love
Im so alone
And so surrounded
By your sweet memory
I cannot sleep
For all these dreams
They come to play
Till dawn comes stealin them away..

Hangs here with summer gone
Voluptuous crimson
As the days become colder
The fruit of the wild rose
In a warmer country
Where the sea ... |
I left a note each day under your pillow
That I wrote in invisible ink
All you have to do is breathe on them
And you might read them written there in pink
You might find out whats inside me
Maybe its something that might amuse
As you watch my words appearing
The fear will go
And everything will flow

You sound truly heartbroken
You can do it. youre a pro
Agony from every pore. and such control

You hold the high scream into the key change for the outro

And thats exactly where youre comin from
But can you play me a song
For the deliberate loser

The cars leave their trails of hot & cold light inside my head
Like burned-in long exposure pictures
The wheels spin slowly backwards
Strobing in the amber light
And the rain comes down and washes my brain
But it dont get clean

This town dresses me up like a stranger

When I leave you
I will leave you
Things that might not help you
Things that might
Problems that I never solved
Dreams to keep you up at night
As I leave you

Things that stick for ever
Things that slide
Mysteries I swallowed whole
Happiness I couldnt share
Promises I never kept
Stories that I never t... |
That was almost the end of my marbles
Confiscated, I choked back the tears
I hung onto a handful of favourites
That disappeared over the years
Did anyone see my last marble
I swear that I had it before
Sometimes I think I should go see a shrink
In case he can find me some more
Did anyone see my last marble?

This house aches
I whistle its tune
After so much noise
Freedom is silence
Half the house is missing
Taken half of me with it
I had imagined this

Quiet at all volumes
As my dull thoughts
Echo viscous and slow like the tolling of some great bel... |
Staring down from this high window
At the faces in the line
Cold from hours of waiting
How many people can you love?
When youre black and blue with bruises
From collisions on the road
The friction grind of travelling
This is the never ending show
All over the world in eighty days
Head in a blur of information
What kind... |
A voice from the past
Entered my head today
Fresh & alive. Full of life, passion and pain
A voice now past
A beautiful soul. Gone, gone, gone
Speaking clearly - clearer than the living
Talking perfect sense
Used to not being understood
While talking perfect sense to the next generation
Have we caught up yet?
Is it time... |
The pack has now fallen
So bring out your dead

As the rivers run red
The White Queens running backward with a mallet to the fore
The Cheshire Cat is grinning, dissolving through the floor
So walk a little faster
To catch up with your past
And moving on a black square
You meet the Queen at last

Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday
Heading for the winter trip
Heading for the slide
Heading for the dignified walk away
Heading for the open road
Goodbye to all that
Heading for the automatic overload
Standing in the open boat
Standing in the swing
Waiting for the ringi... |
Its getting late for scribbling and scratching on the paper
Somethings gonna give under this pressure
And the cracks are already beginning to show
Its too late
The weekend career girl never boarded the plane
They said this could never happen again
Oh, so wrong, so wrong
This time it seems to be another misplaced rendez... |
I dreamed I rolled on the ocean floor
In the sunken bones of a broken ship
On the shadow line where spirits creep
To the world above from the world beneath
On waves of silver I dreamed of gold
till I lost the peace that dreaming gives
I dreamed of the moment of my own death
That no one ever dreams and lives
I dreamed I... |
I wanted it til I got it
I wanted it til I got it
Believed in it til I saw it
I needed it til I had it
I guess I live to regret it
I dreamed of it til I got it
Believed in it til I saw it
I needed it til I had it
I wanted it til I got it
I wanted it til I got it
I wanted it til I got it
Believed in it til I saw it

They got money, they got sun
They look like theyre havin fun
Dont it seem its so unfair
They know something you dont know
Theyve got a better place to go
Theyre thin and rich and they dont care
We get the dreams that we deserve
The magazines that we deserve
Page one and three that we deserve
The joy and the pain that w... |
The quiet sadness of the people of the North
Echoes silently around the cold grey places
Ecstasies undared
Tremble upon the edge of the tightly, respectably unfulfilled
Who drink to excess in order to forget what never happened
Brave faces
Well dressed ordered minds on suicides edge
Reflected in the rain-skimmed slate ... |
If the time will come when Im alone
Got no place to go
If you see me one night on my own
Rain pouring on
And my mind keeps on flying
Trying to be free
And my spirit comes to meet me
Im as high as I can be
And theres someone in the valley
Shes calling out to me
Shes standing by the river
My Lady Fantasy

Youre only human
So am I
Its such a shame we have these secrets and lies
That get discovered from time to time
Whatever rises eventually falls
The world turns and it turns on us all
You cant live life without making mistakes
You cant live trying to keep the outside world away
Its time to stop
Beating yourself up
Its no... |
