it would change your mind But I know that this time I've said too much Been too unkind I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try and Laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would break down at your feet And beg forgiveness Plead with you But I know that It's too late And now there's nothing I can do So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'cause boys don't cry I would tell you That I loved you If I thought that you would stay But I know that it's no use That you've already Gone away Misjudged your limits Pushed you too far Took you for granted I thought that you needed me more Now I would do most anything To get you back by my side But I just Keep on laughing

Subway Song Midnight in the subway She's on her way home She tries hard not to run But she feels she's not alone Echoes of footsteps Follow close behind But she dare not turn around Turn around Three Imaginary Boys Walk across the garden In the footsteps of my shadow See the lights out No one's home In amongst the statues Stare at nothing in The garden moves Can you help me? Close my eyes And hold so tightly Scared of what the morning brings Waiting for tomorrow Never comes Deep inside The empty feeling All the night time leaves me Three imaginary boys Slipping through the door Hear my heart beats in the hallway Echoes Round and round Inside my head Drifting up the stairs I see the steps behind me Disappearing Can you help me? Close my eyes And hold so tightly Scared of what the morning brings Waiting for tomorrow Never comes Deep inside The empty feeling All the night time leaves me Three imaginary boys sing in my Sleep sweet child The moon will change your mind See the cracked reflection Standing still Before the bedroom mirror Over my shoulder But no one's there Whispers in the silence Pressing close behind me Pressing close behind Can you help me? Can you help me? Can you help me? World War Dressed in Berlin black I was only playing Disguise my words to fool you From what I was saying Mud trench Meat stench The fatherland is looking on Grip you in a luger lock This will be the big one World war No one would believe me No one's a winner No one's a loser Just a dead friend Heaven heaven Give me pride Give me a golden hand Smash them with an iron rule Spit them out like sand Sit and wait Then run like hell Run like hell one time again Sow the seeds of hate Underneath destruction World war No one would believe me No one's a winner No one's a loser Just a dead friend World war No one would believe me No one's a winner No one's a loser Seventeen Seconds A Reflection Scream Play For Today It's not a case of doing what's right It's just the way I feel that matters Tell me I'm wrong I don't really care It's not a case of share and share alike I take what I require I don't understand ... You say it's not fair You expect me to act Like a lover Consider my moves And deserve the reward To hold you in my arms And wait And wait And wait For something to happen It's not a case of telling the truth Some lines just fit the situation Call me a liar You would anyway It's not a case of aiming to please You know you're always crying It's just your part In the play for today Secrets Secrets Share with another girl Talking all night in a room All night Everything slowing down I wish I was yours ... Strangers Nobody knows we love I catch your eyes in the dark One look relives the memory Remember me The way I used to be In Your House I play at night in your house I live another life Pretending to swim In your house I change the time in your house The hours I take Go so slow ... I hear no sound in your house Silence In the empty rooms I drown at night in your house Pretending to swim Pretending to swim Three Instrumental The Final Sound Instrumental A Forest Come closer and see See into the trees Find the girl If you can Come closer and see See into the dark Just follow your eyes Just follow your eyes I hear her voice Calling my name The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees Into the trees Into the trees Suddenly I stop But I know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again and again M Hello image Sing me a line from your favourite song Twist and turn But you're trapped in the light All the directions were wrong You'll fall in love with somebody else Tonight Help yourself But tell me the words Before you fade away You reveal all the secrets To remember the end And escape someday You'll fall in love with somebody else Again tonight Take a step You move in time But it's always back ... The reasons are clear Your face is drawn And ready for the next attack At Night Sunk deep in the night I sink in the night Standing alone underneath the sky I feel the chill of ice On my face I watch the hours go by The hours go by You sleep Sleep in a safe bed Curled and protected Protected from sight Under a safe roof Deep in your house Unaware of the changes at night At night I hear the darkness breathe I sense the quiet despair Listen to the silence At night Someone has to be there Someone has to be there Someone must be there Seventeen Seconds Time slips away And the light begins to fade And everything is quiet now Feeling is gone And the picture disappears And everything is cold now The dream had to end The wish never came true And the girl Starts to sing Seventeen seconds A measure of life Faith The Holy Hour I kneel and wait in silence As one by one the people slip away Into the night The quiet and empty bodies Kiss the ground before they pray Kiss the ground And slip away I sit and listen dreamlessly A promise of salvation makes me stay Then look at your face And feel my heart pushed in As all around the children play The games they tired of yesterday They play They play I stand and hear my voice Cry out A wordless scream at ancient power It breaks against stone I softly leave you crying I cannot hold what you devour The sacrifice of penance In the holy hour Primary The innocence of sleeping children Dressed in white And slowly dreaming Stops all time Slow my steps and start to blur So many years have filled my heart I never thought I'd say those words The further we go And older we grow The more we know ... The less we show ... The very first time I saw your face I thought of a song And quickly changed the tune The very first time I touched your skin I thought of a story And rushed to reach the end Too soon Oh remember Please Don't change So the fall came Thirteen years A shiny ring And how I could forget your name The air no longer in my throat Another perfect lie is choked But it always feels the same So they close together Dressed in red and yellow Innocent forever Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms Still dream The further we go And older we grow The more we know ... Other Voices Whisper your name in an empty room You brush past my skin As soft as fur Taking hold I taste your scent Distant noises Other voices Pounding in my broken head Commit the sin Commit yourself And all the other voices said Change your mind You're always wrong Always wrong Come around at christmas I really have to see you Smile at me slyly Another festive compromise But I live with desertion And eight million people Distant noises Of other voices Pulsing in my swinging arms Caress the sound So many dead And all the other voices sing Change your mind You're always wrong All Cats Are Grey I never thought that I would find myself In bed amongst the stones The columns are all men Begging to crush me No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes And no flags wave me home In the caves All cats are grey In the caves The textures coat my skin In the death cell A single note Rings on and on and on The Funeral Party Two pale figures Ache in silence Timeless In the quiet ground Side by side In age and sadness I watched And acted wordlessly As piece by piece You performed your story Moving through an unknown past Dancing at the funeral party Memories of childrens dreams Lie lifeless Fading Lifeless Hand in hand with fear and shadows Crying at the funeral party I heard a song And turned away As piece by piece You performed your story Noiselessly across the floor Dancing at the funeral party Doubt Stop my flight to fight And die And take a stand to change my life So savage with red desperation I clench my hands You draw your claws A hidden rage consumes my heart Fuelled by years of wasted time I close my eyes And tense myself And screaming Throw myself in fury over the edge And into your blood Tear at flesh And rip at skin And smash at doubt I have to break you Fury drives my vicious blows I see you fall but still I strike you Again and again Your body falls The movement is sharp and clear and pure And gone I stop and kneel beside you Drained of everything but pain Screaming throw myself in fury Over the edge and into your blood Kiss you once and see you writhe Hold you close and hear you cry Kiss your eyes and finish your life Kiss your eyes Finish your life Again and again Your body falls The movement is sharp and clear and pure And gone I stop and kneel beside you Knowing I'll murder you again tonight Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Tonight The Drowning Man She stands twelve feet above the flood She stares Alone Across the water The loneliness grows and slowly Fills her frozen body Sliding downwards One by one her senses die The memories fade And leave her eyes Still seeing worlds that never were And one by one the bright birds leave her ... Starting at the violent sound She tries to turn But final Noiseless Slips and strikes her soft dark head The water bows Receives her And drowns her at its ease Drowns her at its ease I would have left the world all bleeding Could I only help you love The fleeting shapes So many years ago So young and beautiful and brave Everything was true It couldn't be a story I wish it was all true I wish it couldn't be a story The words all left me Lifeless Hoping Breathing like the drowning man Oh Fushia You leave me Breathing like the drowning man Breathing like the drowning man Faith Catch me if I fall I'm losing hold I can't just carry on this way And every time I turn away Lose another blind game The idea of perfection holds me Suddenly I see you change Everything at once The same But the mountain never moves Rape me like a child Christened in blood Painted like an unknown saint There's nothing left but hope Your voice is dead And old And always empty Trust in me through closing years Perfect moments wait If only we could stay Please Say the right words Or cry like the stone white clown And stand forever Lost forever in a happy crowd No one lifts their hands No one lifts their eyes Justified with empty words The party just gets better and better I went away alone With nothing left But faith Pornography One Hundred Years It doesn't matter if we all die Ambition in the back of a black car In a high building there is so much to do Going home time A story on the radio Something small falls out of your mouth And we laugh A prayer for something better A prayer For something better Please love me Meet my mother But the fear takes hold Creeping up the stairs in the dark Waiting for the death blow Waiting for the death blow Waiting for the death blow Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot Fighting for freedom on television Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs Have we got everything? She struggles to get away . . . The pain And the creeping feeling A little black haired girl Waiting for Saturday The death of her father pushing her Pushing her white face into the mirror Aching inside me And turn me round Just like the old days Just like the old days Just like the old days Jus like the old days Caressing an old man And painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat in a clean room The soldiers close in under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance Under a black flag A hundred years of blood Crimson The ribbon tightens round my throat I open my mouth And my head bursts open A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water Thrashing in the water Over and over We die one after the other Over and over We die one after the other One after the other One after the other One after the other One after the other It feels like a hundred years A hundred years A hundred years A hundred years A hundred years One hundred years A Short Term Effect Movement No movement Just a falling bird Cold as it hits the bleeding ground He lived and died Catch sight Cover me with earth Draped in black Static White sound A day without substance A changeof thought An atmosphere that rots with time Colours that flicker in water A short term effect Scream As she tries to push him over Helpless and sick With teeth of madness Jump jump dance and sing Sideways across the desert A charcoal face Bites my hand Time is sweet Derange and disengage everything A day without substance A change of thought The atmosphere rots with time Colours that flicker in water A short term effect A short term effect A short term effect An echo And a stranger's hand A short term effect An echo And a stranger's hand A short term effect The Hanging Garden Creatures kissing in the rain Shapeless in the dark again In the hanging garden Please don't speak In the hanging garden No one sleeps In the hanging garden In the hanging garden Catching haloes on the moon Gives my hands the shapes of angels In the heat of the night The animals scream In the heat of the night Walking into a dream . . . Fall fall fall fall Into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall Out of the sky Cover my face as the animals cry In the hanging garden In the hanging garden Creatures kissing in the rain Shapeless in the dark again In a hanging garden Change the past In a hanging garden Wearing furs And masks Fall fall fall fall Into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall Out of the sky Cover my face as the animals die In the hanging garden As the animals die Cover my face as the animals die In the hanging garden Siamese Twins I chose an eternity of this Like falling angels The world disappeared Laughing into the fire Is it always like this? Flesh and blood and the first kiss The first colours The first kiss We writhed under a red light Voodoo smile Siamese twins A girl at the window looks at me for an hour Then everything falls apart Broken inside me It falls apart The walls and the ceiling move in time Push a blade into my hands Slowly up the stairs And into the room Is it always like this? Dancing in my pocket Worms eat my skin She glows and grows With arms outstretched Her legs around me In the morning I cried Leave me to die You won't remember my voice I walked away and grew old You never talk We never smile I scream You're nothing I don't need you any more You're nothing It fades and spins Fades and spins Sing out loud We all die Laughing into the fire Is it always like this? Is it always like this? Is it always like this? The Figurehead Sharp and open Leave me alone And sleeping less every night As the days become heavier and weighted Waiting In the cold light A noise A scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten With spiders inside them And dust on the lips of a vision of hell I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year A hundred other words blind me with your purity Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance I think about tomorrow Please let me sleep As I slip down the window Freshly squashed fly You mean nothing You mean nothing I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls All the time Lose me in the dark Please do it right Run into the night I will lose myself tomorrow Crimson pain My heart explodes My memory in a fire And someone will listen At least for a short while I can never say no to anyone but you Too many secrets Too many lies Writhing with hatred Too many secrets Please make it good tonight But the same image haunts me In sequence In despair of time I will never be clean again I touched her eyes Pressed my stained face I will never be clean again Touch her eyes Press my stained face I will never be clean again I will never be clean again I will never be clean again I will never be clean again A Strange Day Give me your eyes That I might see the blind man kissing my hands The sun is humming My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees As he plays on his knees And the sand And the sea grows I close my eyes Move slowly through drowning waves Going away on a strange day And I laugh as I drift in the wind Blind Dancing on a beach of stone Cherish the faces as they wait for the end Sudden hush across the water And we're here again And the sand And the sea grows I close my eyes Move slowly through drowning waves Going away On a strange day My head falls back And the walls crash down And the sky And the impossible Explode Held for one moment I remember a song An impression of sound Then everything is gone Forever A strange day Cold Scared Your back was turned Curled like an embryo Take another face You will be kissed again I was cold as I mouthed the words And crawled across the mirror I wait Await the next breath Your name Like ice into my heart A shallow grave A monument to the ruined age Ice in my eyes And eyes like ice don't move Screaming at the moon Another past time Your name Like ice into my heart Everything as cold as life Can no one save you? Everything As cold as silence And you never say a word Your name Like ice into my heart Your name Like ice into my heart Pornography A hand in my mouth A life spills into the flowers We all look so perfect As we all fall down In an electric glare The old man cracks with age She found his last picture In the ashes of the fire An image of the queen Echoes round the sweating bed Sour yellow sounds inside my head In books And films And in life And in heaven The sound of slaughter As your body turns But it's too late But it's too late One more day like today and I'll kill you A desire for flesh And real blood I'll watch you drown in the shower Pushing my life through your open eyes I must fight this sickness Find a cure I must fight this sickness Japanese Whispers Just One Kiss I remember the time that you rained all night The queen of Siam in my arms Remember the time that the islands sank But nobody opened their eyes Remember that time that the trees fell down The wood crashing through the wall Remember the sound that could wake the dead But nobody woke up at all Somebody died for this Somebody died for just one kiss Remember the time that the sky went black We waited alone on the sands Remember the taste of the raging sea But nobody held out their hands Somebody died for this Somebody died For just one kiss Just one kiss Just one kiss Let's Go To Bed Doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo Let me take your hand I'm shaking like milk Turning Turning blue All over the windows and the floors Fires outside in the sky Look as perfect as cats The two of us Together again But it's just the same A stupid game But I don't care if you don't And I don't feel if you don't And I don't want it if you don't And I won't say it If you won't say it first You think you're tired now But wait until three Laughing at the Christmas lights You remember from December All of this then back again Another girl Another name Stay alive but stay the same It's just the same A stupid game But I don't care if you don't And I don't feel if you don't And I don't want it if you don't And I won't say it If you won't say it first You can't even see now So you ask me the way You wonder if it's real Because it couldn't be rain Through the right doorway And into the white room It used to be the dust that would lay here When I came here alone Doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo Let's go to bed Lament Today there was a tragedy Underneath the bridge A man walked Cold and blue Into Lament The sky coloured perfect As the man slipped away Waving with a last vanilla smile Somewhere at a table Two drowned fools Smoking Drinking water as they talked Of how they loved our lady And oh the smell as candles die One more ice cream river body Flowed underneath the bridge Underneath the bridge The Lovecats We move like cagey tigers We couldn't get closer than this The way we walk The way we talk The way we stalk The way we kiss We slip through the streets While everyone sleeps Getting bigger and sleeker And wider and brighter We bite and scratch and scream all night Let's go and Throw all the songs we know Into the sea You and me All these years and no one heard I'll show you in spring It's a treacherous thing We missed you hissed the lovecats We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully Wonderfully pretty Oh you know that I'd do anything for you We should have each other to tea huh? We should have each other with cream Then curl up by the fire And sleep for awhile It's the grooviest thing It's the perfect dream Hand in hand Is the only way to land And always the right way round Not broken in pieces Like hated little meeces How could we miss Someone as dumb as this I love you ... let's go Oh ... solid gone ... How could we miss someone as dumb As this? Speak My Language It was only yesterday Waving arms across the street Your white face left me blue How can I say all the things I have to say to you Oh all the people here All look the same The little time I spend with you We drink each other dry Mammnnarghaassstmmetc Speak my language It was only yesterday My eyes touched yours across the street We cut the words And waved goodbye And dropped off the edge of the world Mammnnarghaassstmmetc Speak my language The Dream You're too far away Too far away to touch And this mother's love inside me Hurts too much Prettily waving Playing on the sand Dreaming of everything Dancing Dancing in our hands Dancing Dancing Dizzy dizzy dizzy As I speak Like a tumbling cat I watch in fascination Like a vampire bat Don't do it don't do it Don't do it don't do it Don't give it away We'll use it up tomorrow If we don't use it today Rest your head Oh just put it outside All wrapped up in ribbons The night The dream The time love died We pushed it in our mouths Pushed it deep inside All wrapped up in ribbons The night The dream The time Love died The Walk I called you after midnight Then ran until my heart burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door We walked around the lake And woke up in the rain And everyone turned over Troubled in their dreams again Visiting time is over And so we walk away And both play dead then cry out loud Why we always cry this way? I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything I called you after midnight Then ran until my heart burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything The Upstairs Room I love it all These games we play I close my eyes You run away I'm sure I asked you to stay But now you're gone And so I feel the grey Pulse in my head I turn off the lights and crawl into bed I try to think of sunshine But my body goes wet With the first crash of thunder I don't think I can know Anyone but you dear That's for sure When it gets to four It's my turn to go Oh the kiss So alcoholic and slow Arranging me for Saturday I thought you would know That I always sleep Alone I don't think I can know Anyone but you Dear That's for sure The upstairs room is cool and bright We can go up there in summer And dance all night Your sister started talking at a minute after ten So everyone jumped up And then fell over again In April you can join them And stare at me The Top Bananafish Bones Curl into a ball like you have more fun That would make it faster Why do you do it do you act like you?... Don't fight Go red and blue and black and white Sell this sell this Or leave it senseless like a suck on a gun?

Going under slowly Never seems too late Going under slow You'll pick me up again The Empty World As stiff as toys And tall as men And swaying like the wind torn trees She talked about the empty world With eyes like poison birds She talked about the armies That marched inside her head And how they made her dreams go bad But oh how happy she was How proud she was To be fighting in the war In the empty world Give Me It Get away from me Get your fingers out of my face This room's so hot This room's so hot I break the walls Get away from me Leave me alone Like the pig on the stairs Hanging In a groovy purple shirt Gasping for air I'm gasping for air I'm gasping for love I'm gasping for air Slit the cats like cheese Then eat the sweet sticky things Suck harder suck harder Suck your insides insides out Blood thick swimming round your feet As you're choking Choking Choking on the fleshy words Give me it give me it give me it Deaden my glassy mind Give me it give me it give me it Make me blind One step back and one step down And slip the needles in my side My head is cold My hands are cold My heart is cold My heart is black And stops every fucking night Every night I wait until it stops Sing birds sing birds sing birds sing Get away Piggy In the Mirror Shapes in the drink like christ Cracks in the pale blue wall I'm walking slowly and quickly but Always away Twisting twisting to the floor Flowers in your mouth and the same dry Song the routine from laughter land 16 white legs and a row of teeth I watch you in secrecy Your dying for the hope is gone >From here we go nowhere again I'm trapped in my face and I'm changing Too much I can't climb out the way I fell in Jump with me For that old forgotten dance The midnight sun will burn you up Your life is cold Your life is hot Your life's too much for words These occasions are such a relief Another point another view to send We start to talk And it's all so safe I feed you in my dreams Footsteps on a wire High above my head The stain reveals my real intention I'm the waiting beast I'm the twisted nerve As I dance dance Back to the body in my bed Look at the piggy Piggy in the mirror Shake Dog Shake Ha ha ha Wake up in the dark The after-taste of anger in the back of my mouth Spit it on the wall And cough some more And scrape my skin with razor blades And make up in the new blood And try to look so good Follow me Make up in the new blood And follow me to where the real fun is Ha ha ha As stale and selfish as a sick dog Spurning sex like an animal of god I'll tear your red hair by the roots And hold you blazing Hold you cherished in the dead electric light Your face I'll never see you this way again I captured it so perfectly As if I knew you'd disappear away Shake shake shake shake Shake shake shake shake Shake dog shake Shake shake shake shake Shake shake shake shake Shake dog shake You hit me again You howl and hit me again The same sharp pain Wakes me in the dark And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart My heart My shaking heart My howl my shake dog Oh shake dog shake Shake shake Shake dog shake But we slept all night in the virgin's bed And dreamed of death And breathed like sick dogs We slept all night in the virgin's bed And breathed like death And dreamed of sick dogs Shake shake Shake dog shake Wake up wake up wake up Shake dog shake Wake up wake up wake up Shake dog shake Wake up in the new blood Make up in the new blood Shake up in the new blood And follow me to where the real fun is Shake dog shake The Top I don't care If only I could say that And not feel so sick and scared I don't care If only I could say that If only my eyes would close It's jesus brilliant You used to laugh Walking these gorgeous blocks This top is the place Where nobody goes You just imagine You just imagine it all Every day I lie here And know that it's true All I really want is you Please come back Please come back Like all the other ones do Please come back All of you The Head On The Door The Baby Screams Heaven Give me a sign Waiting for the sun to shine Pleasure fills up my dreams And I love it Like a baby screams Its so useless How can you be proud When you're sinking into the ground Into the ground fills up my dreams And I love it Like a baby screams Couldn't ask for more you said Take it all And strike me Strike me dead Waiting again Waiting Like I waited before Waiting again Waiting here for nothing at all Heaven fills up my dreams And I love it Like a baby screams Couldn't ask for more you said Couldn't ever let it end Take it all Take it all And strike me dead Heaven Heaven Close to Me I've waited hours for this I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought that this day would end I never thought that tonight could ever be This close to me Just try to see in the dark Just try to make it work To feel the fear before you're here I make the shapes come much too close I pull my eyes out Hold my breath And wait until I shake But if I had your faith Then I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream I've waited hours for this I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought that this day would end I never thought that tonight could ever be This close to me But if I had your face I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure That my head on the door Was a dream Inbetween Days Yesterday I got so old I felt like I could die Yesterday I got so old It made me want to cry Go on go on Just walk away Your choice is made Go on go on And disappear Go on go on Away from here And I know I was wrong When I said it was true That it couldn't be me and be her Inbetween without you Without you Yesterday I got so scared I shivered like a child Yesterday away from you It froze me deep inside Come back come back Don't walk away Come back come back Come back today Come back come back Why can't you see Come back come back Come back to me And I know I was wrong When I said it was true That it couldn't be me and be her Inbetween without you Without you Kyoto Song A nightmare of you Of death in the pool Wakes me up at quarter to three I'm lying on the floor of the night before With a stranger lying next to me A nightmare of you Of death in the pool I see no further now than this dream The trembling hands of the trembling man Hold my mouth To hold in a scream I try to think To make it slow If only here is where I go If this is real I have to see I turn on fire And next to me It looks good It tastes like nothing on earth It looks good It tastes like nothing on earth Its so smooth it even feels like skin It tells me how it feels to be new It tells me how it feels to be new A thousand voices whisper it true It tells me how it feels to be new And every voice belongs Every voice belongs to you A Night Like This Say goodbye on a night like this If it's the last thing we ever do You never looked as lost as this Sometimes it doesn't even look like you It goes dark It goes darker still Please stay But I watch you like I'm made of stone As you walk away I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night A witch hunt for another girl For always and ever is always for you Your trust The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world Say hello on a day like today Say it everytime you move The way that you look at me now Makes me wish I was you It goes deep It goes deeper still This touch And the smile and the shake of your head I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night Can't stand here like this anymore For always and ever is always for you I want it to be perfect Like before I want to change it all I want to change Push Go go go Push him away No no no Don't let him stay He gets inside to stare at her The seeping mouth The mouth that knows The secret you Always you A smile to hide the fear away Oh smear this man across the walls Like strawberries and cream Its the only way to be Exactly the same clean room Exactly the same clean bed But I've stayed away too long this time And I've got too big to fit this time... Screw When you screw up your eyes When you screw up your face When you throw out your arms And keep changing your shape Taste the taste in your mouth Taste the taste on your tongue On the film on your eyes of what I've become What do I do when you screw up your eyes? What do I do when you screw up your face? What do I do When you throw out your arms Fall on the floor And keep changing your shape? Jump right into your mouth? Jump around on your tongue? And the film on your eyes of the way I've become Makes me sick at the way that I try Anything in the world To impress that I'm doing this Only for you Sinking I am slowing down As the years go by I am sinking So I trick myself Like everybody else The secrets I hide Twist me inside They make me weaker So I trick myself Like everybody else I crouch in fear and wait I'll never feel again If only I could remember Anything at all Six Different Ways This is stranger than I thought Six different ways inside my heart And everyone I'll keep tonight Six different ways go deep inside I'll tell them anything at all I know I'll give them more and more I'll tell them anything at all I know I'll give the world and more The think I'm on my hands and head This time they're much too slow Six sides to every lie I say It's that American voice again It was never quite like this before Not one of you is the same This is stranger than I thought Six different ways inside my heart And everyone I'll keep tonight Six different ways go deep inside The Blood Tell me who doesn't love What can never come back You can never forget how it used to feel The illusion is deep Its as deep as the night I can tell by your tears you remember it all I am paralysed by the blood of Christ Though it clouds my eyes I can never stop How it feels to be dry Walking bare in the sun Every mirage I see is a mirage of you As I cool in the twilight Taste the salt on my skin I recall all the tears All the broken words I am paralysed by the blood of Christ Though it clouds my eyes I can never stop When the sunsets glow drifts away from you You'll no longer know If any of this was really true at all Staring At The Sea Charlotte Sometimes All the faces All the voices blur Change to one face Change to one voice Prepare yourself for bed The light seems bright And glares on white walls All the sounds of Charlotte sometimes Into the night With Charlotte sometimes Night after night she lay alone in bed Her eyes so open to the dark The streets all looked so strange They seemed so far away But Charlotte sometimes did not cry The people seemed so close Playing expressionless games The people seemed so close So close So many Other names Sometimes I'm dreaming Where all the other people dance Sometimes I'm dreaming Charlotte Sometimes Sometimes I'm dreaming Expressionless the trance Sometimes I'm dreaming So many different names Sometimes I'm dreaming The sounds all stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming She hopes to open shadowed eyes On a different world Come to me Scared princess Charlotte sometimes On that bleak track (See the sun is gone again) The tears were pouring down her face She was crying and crying for a girl Who died so many years before... Sometimes I dream Where all the people dance Sometimes I dream Charlotte sometimes Sometimes I dream The sounds all stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming There are so many different names Sometimes I dream Sometimes I dream... Charlotte sometimes crying for herself Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself But it's always with love With so much love it looks like Everything else Of Charlotte sometimes So far away Glass sealed and pretty Charlotte sometimes Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me The Kiss Kiss me kiss me kiss me Your tongue is like poison So swollen it fills up my mouth Love me love me love me You nail me to the floor And push my guts all inside out Get it out get it out get it out Get your fucking voice Out of my head I never wanted this I never wanted any of this I wish you were dead I wish you were dead I never wanted any of this I wish you were dead Dead Dead Dead Catch Yes I know who you remind me of A girl I think I used to know Yes I'd see her when the day got colder On those days when it felt like snow You know I even think that she stared like you She used to just stand there and stare And roll her eyes right up to heaven And make like I just wasn't there And she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling Again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name And sometimes we would spend the night Just rolling about on a floor And I remember Even though it felt soft at the time I always used to wake up sore You know I even think that she smiled like you She used to just stand there and smile And her eyes would go all sort of far away And stay like that for quite a while And I remember she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling Again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her But I never even caught her name Torture I'm in the room without a light The room without a view I'm here for one more treacherous night Another night with you It tortures me to move my hands To try to move at all And pulled My skin so tight it screams And screams and screams And pulls some more Hanging like this Like a vampire bat Hanging like this Hanging on your back I'm helpless again My body is cut and broken It's shattered and sore My body is cut wide open I can't stand anymore It tortures me to move my hands To try to move at all And pulled My skin so tight screams And screams and screams And screams some more Hanging like this Like a vampire bat Hanging like this hanging on your back Oh it's torture And I'm almost there It's torture But I'm almost there It's torture But I'm almost there It's torture But I'm almost there If Only Tonight We Could Sleep If only tonight we could sleep In a bed made of flowers If only tonight we could fall In a deathless spell If only tonight we could slide Into deep black water And breathe And breathe... Then an angel would come With burning eyes like stars And bury us deep In his velvet arms And the rain would cry As our faces slipped away And the rain would cry Don't let it end... Why Can't I Be You You're so gorgeous I'll do anything I'll kiss you from your feet To where your head begins You're so perfect you're so right as rain You make me Make me hungry again Everything you do is irresistable Everything you do is simply kissable Why can't I be you? I'll run around in circles Til I run out of breath I'll eat you all up Or I'll just hug you to death You're so wonderful Too good to be true You make me Make me hungry for you Everything you do is simply delicate Everything you do is quite angelicate Why can't I be you? You turn my head when you turn around You turn the whole world upside down I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked I'm stuck like glue You make me Make me hungry for you Everything you do is simply dreamy Everything you do is quite delicious Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? How Beautiful You Are You want to know why I hate you? Well I'll try and explain... You remember that day in Paris When we wandered through the rain And promised to each other That we'd always think the same And dreamed that dream To be two souls as one And stopped just as the sun set And waited for the night Outside a glittering building Of glittering glass and burning light... And in the road before us Stood a weary greyish man Who held a child upon his back A small boy by the hand The three of them were dressed in rags And thinner than the air And all six eyes stared fixedly on you The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!" The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She shimmers like a star!" The childs eyes uttered nothing But a mute and utter joy And filled my heart with shame for us At the way we are I turned to look at you To read my thoughts upon your face And gazed so deep into your eyes So beautiful and strange Until you spoke And showed me understanding is a dream "I hate these people staring Make them go away from me!" The fathers eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!" The boys eyes said "How beautiful! She glitters like a star!" The child's eyes uttered joy And stilled my heart with sadness For the way we are And this is why I hate you And how I understand That no-one ever knows or loves another Or loves another The Snakepit Well we're a mile under the ground And I'm thinking that it's Christmas And I'm kissing you hard Like I've got very important business And no-one knows And no-one sees us Because they're drinking themselves senseless And I'm writhing And I'm writhing And I'm writhing in the snakepit Well I'm out in a car And it's just full of stupid girls And I've forgotten how to speak And I just can't remember a word And my eyes feel like they're bursting And they're splitting like plums And I'm writhing And I'm writhing And I'm writhing in the snakepit Just Like Heaven "Show me how you do that trick The one that makes me scream" she said "The one that makes me laugh" she said And threw her arms around my neck "Show me how you do it And I promise you I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you" Spinning on that dizzy edge I kissed her face and kissed her head And dreamed of all the different ways I had To make her glow "Why are you so far away?" she said "Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you That I'm in love with you" You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Strange as angels Dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water You're just like a dream Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes And found myself alone alone Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Just like heaven All I Want Tonight I'm feeling like an animal Tonight I'm howling inside Tonight I'm feeling like an animal Tonight I'm going wild And all I want is to be with you again And all I want is to hold you like a dog And all I want is to be with you again With you again Just to hold you like a dog Tonight I'm screaming like an animal Tonight I'm losing control Tonight I'm screaming like an animal Tonight oh I'm getting so low And all I want is to be with you again And all I want is to hold you like a dog And all I want is to be with you again With you again Just to hold you like a dog That's all I want Hot Hot Hot !!! The first time I saw lightening strike I saw it underground Six deep feet below the street The sky came crashing down For a second that place was lost in space Then everything went black I left that basement burning And I never went back The second time I saw it strike I saw it at sea It lit up the fish like rain And rained then down on me For a second that boat was still afloat Then everything went black I left it underwater And I never went back Hey hey hey!!! But I like it when that lightening comes Hey hey hey!!! Yes I like it alot Hey hey hey!!! Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered Feeling hot hot hot!!! The third time I saw lightening strike It hit me in bed It threw me around And left me for dead For a second that room was on the moon Then everything went black I left that house on fire And I never went back Hey hey hey!!! But I like it when that lightening comes Hey hey hey!!! Yes I like it alot Hey hey hey!!! Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered Feeling hot hot hot!!! One More Time I'd love to touch the sky tonight I'd love to touch the sky So take me in your arms And lift me like a child And hold me up so high And never let me go Take me Take me in your arms tonight Hold me Hold me up so high And never let me down Hold me Hold me up so high To touch the sky Just one more time Take me in your arms tonight Take me in your arms Just one more time Just one more time Just one more time Like Cockatoos She walked out of her house And looked around At all the gardens that looked Back at her house (Like all the faces That quiz when you smile...) And he was standing At the corner Where the road turned dark A part of shiny wet Like blood the rain fell Black down on the street And kissed his feet she fell Her head an inch away from heaven And her face pressed tight And all around the night sang out Like cockatoos "There are a thousand things" he said "I'll never say those things to you again" And turning on his heel He left a trace of bubbles Bleeding in his stead And in her head A picture of a boy who left her Lonely in the rain (And all around the night sang out like cockatoos) Icing Sugar Your delicious Dreaming Slack jawed Green eyed Rub my nose in Icing sugar Smooth as When this cold and deadly Blade Kissed the fruit So soft And gently breathing Under your skin Oh I'll empty you I'll empty you As empty as a boy can be As empty As a boy can be The Perfect Girl You're such a strange girl I think you come from another world You're such a strange girl I really don't understand a word You're such a strange girl I'd like to shake you around and around You're such a strange girl I'd like To turn you All upside down You're such a Strange girl The way you look like you do You're such a strange girl I want To be with you I think I'm falling I think I'm falling in I think I'm falling in love with you With you A Thousand Hours For how much longer can I howl into this wind? For how much longer Can I cry like this? A thousand wasted hours a day Just to feel my heart for a second A thousand hours just thrown away Just to feel my heart for a second For how much longer can I howl into this wind? Shiver And Shake You're just a waste of time You're just a babbling face You're just three sick holes that run like sores You're a fucking waste You're like a slug on the girl Oh you're useless and ugly And useless and ugly And I shiver and shake When I think of how you make me hate I want to smash you to pieces I want to smash you up and screaming I want to smash you helpless Down on the floor Smash you until you're not here anymore And I shiver and shake Shiver and shake Fight Sometimes there's nothing to feel Sometimes there's nothing to hold Sometimes there's no time to run away Sometimes you just feel so old The times it hurts when you cry The times it hurts just to breathe And then it all seems like there's no-one left And all you want is to sleep Fight fight fight Just push it away Fight fight fight Just push until it breaks Fight fight fight Don't cry at the pain Fight fight fight Or watch yourself burn again Fight fight fight Don't howl like a dog Fight fight Just fill up the sky Fight fight fight Fight til you drop Fight fight fight And never never Never stop Fight fight fight Fight fight fight So when the hurting starts And when the nightmares begin Remember you can fill up the sky You don't have to give in You don't have to give in Never give in Never give in Never give in Disintegration Plainsong "I think it's dark and it looks like rain" You said "And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world" You said "And it's so cold It's like the cold if you were dead" And then you smiled For a second "I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain" You said "And it's all running out like it's the end of the world" You said "And it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead" And then you smiled For a second Sometimes you make me feel Like I'm living at the edge of the world Like I'm living at the edge of the world "It's just the way I smile" You said Pictures Of You I've been looking so long at these pictures of you That I almost believe that they're real I've been living so long with my pictures of you That I almost believe that the pictures are All I can feel Remembering You standing quiet in the rain As I ran to your heart to be near And we kissed as the sky fell in Holding you close How I always held close in your fear Remembering You running soft through the night You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow And screamed at the make-believe Screamed at the sky And you finally found all your courage To let it all go Remembering You fallen into my arms Crying for the death of your heart You were stone white So delicate Lost in the cold You were always so lost in the dark Remembering You how you used to be Slow drowned You were angels So much more than everything Hold for the last time then slip away quietly Open my eyes But I never see anything If only I'd thought of the right words I could have held on to your heart If only I'd thought of the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart All my pictures of you Looking so long at these pictures of you But I never hold on to your heart Looking so long for the words to be true But always just breaking apart My pictures of you There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to feel you deep in my heart There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to never feel the breaking apart All my pictures of you Closedown I'm running out of time I'm out of step and Closing down and Never sleep for wanting hours The empty hours of greed And uselessly Always the need To feel again the real belief Of something more than mockery If only I could Fill my heart with love Lovesong Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am home again Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am whole again Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am young again Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am fun again However far away I will always love you However long I stay I will always love you Whatever words I say I will always love you I will always love you Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am free again Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am clean again However far away I will always love you However long I stay I will always love you Whatever words I say I will always love you I will always love you Last Dance I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered To see how we're ending Our last dance together Expectant Too puctual But prettier than ever I really believe that this time it's forever But older than me now More constant More real And the fur and the mouth and the innocence Turned to hair and contentment That hangs in abasement A woman now standing where once There was only a girl I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered The walking through walls in the heart of December The blindness of happiness Of falling down laughing And I really believed that this time was forever But Christmas falls late now Flatter and colder And never as bright as when we used to fall All this in an instant Before I can kiss you A woman now standing where once There was only a girl I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered To see how we're ending Our last dance together Reluctantly Cautiously But prettier than ever I really believe that this time it's forever But Christmas falls late now Flatter and colder And never as bright as when we used to fall And even if we drink I don't think we would kiss in the way that we did When the woman Was only a girl Lullaby On candystripe legs the spiderman comes Softly through the shadow of the evening sun Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead Looking for the victim shivering in bed Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and Suddenly! A movement in the corner of the room! And there is nothing I can do When I realise with fright That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight! Quietly he laughs and shaking his head Creeps closer now Closer to the foot of the bed And softer than shadow and quicker than flies His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes "Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight" And I feel like I'm being eaten By a thousand million shivering furry holes And I know that in the morning I will wake up In the shivering cold And the spiderman is always hungry... Fascination Street Oh it's opening time Down on Fascination Street So let's cut the conversation And get out for a bit Because I feel it all fading and paling And I'm begging To drag you down with me To kick the last nail in Yeah! I like you in that Like I like you to scream But if you open your mouth Then I can't be responsible For quite what goes in Or to care what comes out So just pull on your hair Just pull on your pout And let's move to the beat Like we know that it's over If you slip going under Slip over my shoulder So just pull on your face Just pull on your feet And let's hit opening time Down on Fascination Street So pull on your hair Pull on your pout Cut the conversation Just open your mouth Pull on your face Pull on your feet And let's hit opening time Down on Fascination Street Prayers For Rain You shatter me Your grip on me A hold on me So dull it kills You stifle me Infectious sense Of hopelessness and Prayers for rain I suffocate I breathe in dirt And nowhere shines But desolate And drab the hours all spent On killing time again All waiting for The rain You fracture me Your hands on me A touch so plain So stale it kills You strangle me Entangle me In hopelessness and Prayers for rain I deteriorate I live in dirt And nowhere glows But drearily and tired The hours all spent On killing time again All waiting for The rain The Same Deep Waters As You Kiss me goodbye Pushing out before I sleep Can't you see I try Swimming the same deep water as you is hard "The shallow drowned lose less than we" You breathe The strangest twist upon your lips "And we shall be together... " "Kiss me goodbye Bow your head and join with me" And face pushed deep Reflections meet The strangest twist upon your lips And disappear The ripples clear And laughing Break against your feet And laughing Break the mirror sweet "So we shall be together... " "Kiss me goodbye" Pushing out before I sleep It's lower now and slower now The strangest twist upon your lips But I don't see And I don't feel But tightly hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes Your smile The very last thing before I go... Iwill kiss you I will kiss you I will kiss you forever on nights like this I will kiss you I will kiss you And we shall be together... Disintegration Oh I miss the kiss of treachery The shameless kiss of vanity The soft and the black and the velvety Up tight against the side of me And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed And run in thickening streams of greed As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go My party piece Oh I miss the kiss of treachery The aching kiss before I feed The stench of a love for a younger meat And the sound that it makes When it cuts in deep The holding up on bended knees The addiction of duplicities As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go My party piece But I never said I would stay to the end So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs Pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and Stains on the scenery Songs about happiness murmured in dreams When we both us knew How the ending would be... So it's all come back round to breaking apart again Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again Making it up behind my back again Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again Holding it up behind my head again Cut in deep to the heart of the bone again Round and round and round And it's coming apart again Over and over and over Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces I'll pull out my heart And I'll feed it to anyone Crying for sympathy Crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd And the three cheers from everyone Dropping through sky Through the glass of the roof Through the roof of your mouth Through the mouth of your eye Through the eye of the needle It's easier for me to get closer to heaven Than ever feel whole again I never said I would stay to the end I knew I would leave you with babies and everything Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs Pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and Stains on the memory Songs about happiness murmured in dreams When we both of us knew How the end always is How the end always is... Homesick Hey hey! Just one more and I'll walk away All the everything you win Turns to nothing today And I forget how to move When my mouth is this dry And my eyes are bursting hearts In a blood-stained sky Oh it was sweet It was wild And oh how we... I trembled Stuck in honey Honey Cling to me... So just one more Just one more go Inspire in me the desire in me To never go home Oh just one more And I'll walk away All the everything you win Turns to nothing today So just one more Just one more go Inspire in me the desire in me To never go home Untitled Hopelessly drift In the eyes of the ghost again Down on my knees And my hands in the air again Pushing my face in the memory of you again But I never know if it's real Never know how I wanted to feel Never quite said what Iwanted to say to you Never quite managed the words to explain to you Never quite knew how to make them believable And now the time has gone Another time undone Hopelessly fighting the devil Futility Feeling the moster Climb deeper inside of me Feeling him gnawing my heart away Hungrily I'll never lose this pain Never dream of you again Mixed Up Never Enough However much I push it down It's never enough However much I push it around It's never enough However much I make it out It's never enough Never enough However much I do However big I ever feel It's never enough Whatever I do to make it real It's never enough In any way I try to speak It's never enough Never enough However much I try to speak It's never enough However much I'm falling down It's never enough However much I'm falling out It's never enough Whatever smile I smile the most It's never enough Never enough However I smile I smile the most So let me hold it up Just one more go Holding it up for just once more One more time to fill it up One more time to kill But whatever I do It's never enough It's never enough It's never enough Wish Open I really don't know what I'm doing here I really think I should've gone to bed tonight but... "Just one drink And there're some people to meet you I think that you'll like them I have to say we do And i promise in less than than an hour we will honestly go... Now why don't I just get you another While you just say hello... " Yeah just say hello... So I'm clutching it tight Another glass in my hand And my mouth and the smiles Moving up as I stand up Too close and too wide And the smiles are too bright And I breathe in too deep And my head's getting light But the air is getting heavier and it's closer And I'm starting to sway And the hands all on my shoulders don't have names And they won't go away So here I go Here I go again... Falling into strangers And it's only just eleven And I'm staring like a child Until someone slips me heaven And I take it on my knees Just like a thousand times before And I get transfixed That fixed And I'm just looking at the floor Just looking at the floor Yeah i look at the floor... And I'm starting to laugh Like an animal in pain And I've got blood on my hands And I've got hands in my brain And the first short retch Leaves me gasping for more And I stagger over screaming On my way to the floor And I'm back on my back With the lights and the lies in my eyes And the colour and the music's too loud And my head's all the wrong size So here I go Here I go again... Yeah I laugh and I jump And I sing and I laugh And I dance and I laugh And I laugh and I laugh And I can't seem to think Where this is Who I am Why I'm keeping this going Keep pouring it out Keep pouring it down Keeping it going Keep pouring it down And the way the rain comes down hard... That's the way I feel inside... I can't take it anymore This it I've become This is it like I get When my life's going numb I just keep moving my mouth I just keep moving my feet I say I'm loving you to death Like I'm losing my breath And all the smiles that I wear And all the games that I play And all the drinks that I mix And i drink until I'm sick And all the faces I make And all the shapes that I throw And alll the people I meet And all the words that I know Makes me sick to the heart Oh I feel so tired... And the way the rain comes down hard... That's how I feel inside... High When I see you sky as a kite As high as I might I can't get that high The how you move The way you burst the clouds It makes me want to try When I see you sticky as lips As licky as trips I can't lick that far But when you pout The way you shout out loud It makes me want to start And when I see you happy as a girl That swims in a world of magic show It makes me bite my fingers through To think I could've let you go And when I see you Take the same sweet steps You used to take I say I'll keep on holding you My arms so tight I'll never let you slip away And when I see you kitten as a cat Yeah as smitten as that I can't get that small Tthe way you fur The how you purr It makes me want to paw you all And when I see you happy as a girl That lives in a world of make-believe It makes me pull my hair all out To think I could've let you leave And when I see you Take the same sweet steps You used to take I know I'll keep on holding you In arms so tight They'll never let you go Apart He waits for her to understand But she won't understand at all She waits all night for him to call But he won't call anymore He waits to hear her say "Forgive" But she justs drops her pearl-black eyes And prays to hear him say "I love you" But he tells no more lies He waits for her to sympathize But she won't sympathize at all She waits all night to feel his kiss But always wakes alone He waits to hear her say "Forget" But she just hangs her head in pain And prays to hear him say "No more I'll never leave again" How did we get this far apart? We used to be so close together How did we get this far apart? I thought this love would last for ever He waits for her to understand But she won't understand at all She waits all night for him to call But he won't call He waits to hear her say "Forgive" But she just drops her pearl black eyes And prays to hear him say "I love you" But he tells no more lies How did we get this far apart? We used to be so close together How did we get this far apart? I thought this love would last for ever From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea Every time we do this I fall for her Wave after wave after wave It's all for her "I know this can't be wrong" I say (And I'll lie to keep her happy) "As long as I know that you know That today I belong right here with you" Right here with you... And so we watch the sun come up From the edge of the deep green sea And she listens like her head's on fire Like she wants to believe in me So I try "Put your hands in the sky Surrender Remember We'll be here forever And we'll never say goodbye... " I've never been so Colourfully-see-through-head before I've never been so Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more And all I want is to keep it like this You and me alone A secret kiss And don't go home Don't go away Don't let this end Please stay... Not just for today... "Never never never never never let me go" she says "Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days" But suddenly she slows And looks down at my breaking face "Why do you cry? What did I say?" "But it's just rain" I smile Brushing my tears away... I wish I could just stop I know another moment will break my heart Too many tears Too many times Too many years I've cried over you How much more can we use it up? Drink it dry? Take this drug? Looking for something forever gone But something we will always want... "Why why why are you letting me go" she says "I feel you pulling back I feel you changing shape" And just as I'm breaking free She hangs herself in front of me Slips her dress like a flag to the floor And hands in the sky Surrenders it all... I wish I could just stop I know another moment will break my heart Too many tears Too many times Too many years I've cried for you It's always the same Wake up in the rain Head in pain Hung in shame A different name Same old game Love in vain And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles Away from home again... Wendy Time "You look like you could do with a friend" she said "You look like you could use a hand Someone to make you smile" she said "Someone who can understand Share your trouble Comfort you Hold you close And I can do all of these... I think you need me here with you" "You look like you could do with a sister" she said "You look like you need a girl to call your own... like... Fabulous! Fabulous! Call me Fabulous!" And rubbing her hands so slow "You stare at me all strange" she said "Are you hungry for more?" "I've had enough" I said "Please leave me alone Please go" It doesn't touch me at all It doesn't touch me at all "You know that you could do with a friend" she said "You know that you could use a word Like feel or follow or fuck" she said And laughing away as she turned "You're everything but no-one Like the last man on earth" "And when I die" I said I'll leave you it all" Door closes... Leaves me cold It doesn't touch me at all It doesn't touch me at all "You really do need a sister" she said "You really do need a girl to call your own... like... Wonderful! Wonderful! Call me Wonderful!" And running her hands so slow "You stare at me all strange" she said "Are you hungry for more?" "I've had enough" I said "Please leave me alone Please go...

Dressed up to the eyes It's a wonderful surprise To see your shoes and your spirits rise Throwing out your frown And just smiling at the sound And as sleek as a shriek Spinning round and round Always take a big bite It's such a gorgeous sight To see you eat in the middle of the night You can never get enough Enough of this stuff It's Friday I'm in love Trust There is no-one left in the world That I can hold onto There is really no-one left at all There is only you And if you leave me now You leave all that we were Undone There is really no-one left You are the only one And still the hardest part for you To put your trust in me I love you more than I can say Why won't you just believe? A Letter to Elise Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out Every way to smile Forget And make-believe we never needed Any more than this Any more than this Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do I know I'll never really get inside of you To make your eyes catch fire The way they should The way the blue could pull me in If they only would If they only would At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else That hides away From me and you There're worlds to part With aching looks and breaking hearts And all the prayers your hands can make Oh I just take as much as you can throw And then throw it all away Oh I throw it all away Like throwing faces at the sky Like throwing arms round Yesterday I stood and stared Wide-eyed in front of you And the face I saw looked back The way I wanted to But I just can't hold my tears away The way you do Elise believe I never wanted this I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about But I let the dream go And the promises broke And the make-believe ran out... So Elise It doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out Every way to smile Forget And make-believe we never needed Any more than this Any more than this And every time I try to pick it up Like falling sand As fast as I pick it up It runs away through my clutching hands But there's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do At all... Cut If only you'd never speak to me The way that you do If only you'd never speak like that It's like listening to A breaking heart A falling sky Fire go out and friendship die I wish you felt the way that I still do The way that I still do If only you'd never look at me The way that you do If only you'd never look like that When I look at you I see face like stone Eyes of ice Mouth so sweetly telling lies I wish you felt the way that I still do The way that I still do But you don't You don't feel anymore You don't care anymore It's all gone If only you'd never pull from me The way that you do If only you'd never pull like that When I'm with you I feel hopeless hands helplessly Pulling you back close to me I wish you felt the way that I still do The way that I still do If only you'd ever speak speak to me The way you once did Look at me the way you once did Pull to me the way you once did But you don't You don't feel anymore You don't care anymore It's all gone It's all gone To Wish Impossible Things Remember how it used to be When the sun would fill the sky Remember how we used to feel Those days would never end Those days would never end Remember how it used to be When the stars would fill the sky Remember how we used to dream Those nights would never end Those nights would never end It was the sweetness of your skin It was the hope of all we might have been That filled me with the hope to wish Impossible things To wish impossible things But now the sun shines cold And all the sky is grey The stars are dimmed by clouds and tears And all I wish Is gone away All I wish Is gone away All I wish Is gone away End I think I've reached that point Where giving up and going on Are both the same dead end to me Are both the same old song I think I've reached that point Where every wish has come true And tired disguised oblivion Is everything I do Please stop loving me Please stop loving me I am none of these things I think I've reached that point Where all the things you have to say And hopes for something more from me Are just games to pass the time away Please stop loving me Please stop loving me I am none of these things I think I've reached that point Where every word that you write Of every blood dark sea And every soul black night And every dream you dream me in And every perfect free from sin And burning eyes And hearts on fire Are just the same old song Please stop loving me Please stop loving me I am none of these things I am none of these things I am none of these things Wild Mood Swings Want I'm always wanting more anything I haven't got

Strange Attraction It started with a dedication "lost in admiration - happy birthday - I'm forever yours - blossom" fared red inside a tiny book of butterflies I smiled surprised at how when flickered through the wings flew by spelled out my name Six months went by the summer lost obsessively the letters dropped into my life the same soft blood smooth flowing hand "please try to understand - I have to see you - have to feel you - tell you all the ways I need you - yours forever in love" Strange attraction spreads its wings it varies but the smallest things you never know how anything will change strange attraction spreads its wings and alters but the smallest things you never know how anything will fade The year grew old incessantly she wrote to me she'd started smoking poetry! I laughed in recognition of a favorite phrase she'd pulled me in I answered her a Christmas card in sepia arranging when and where and how the two of us should meet her opening so well prepared a nervous smile I couldn't take my eyes from her she whispered "can I use some of your lipstick?" it was perfect so believable I couldn't help but feel that it was real and kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms Strange attraction spreads its wings it varies but the smallest things you never know how anything will change strange attraction spreads its wings and alters but the smallest things you never know how anything will fade So alone into the cold new year without another word from her I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring but weeks went by with no reply until once more my birthday came and with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same "I'm sorry - blame infatuation - blame imagination I was sure you'd be the one but I was wrong - it seems reality destroys our dreams - I won't forget you blossom" fared red inside a tiny book of old good-byes... Strange attraction spreads its wings it varies but the smallest things you never know how anything will change strange attraction spreads its wings and alters but the smallest things you never know how anything will fade Mint Car The sun is up I'm so happy I could scream and there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be than here with you it's perfect it's all I ever wanted Almost can't believe that it's for real I really don't think it gets any better than this vanilla smile and a gorgeous strawberry kiss birds sing we swing clouds shift by and everything is like a dream It's everything I wished Never guessed it got this good wondered if it ever would really didn't think it could do it again?

I know that we should Jupiter Crash She follows me down to the sound of the sea Slips through the sand and stares up at me Is this how it happens? Is this how it feels? Is this how a star falls? Is this how a star falls? The night turns as I try to explain Irresistible attraction and orbital plane Maybe it's more like a moth to a flame She pushes my face with her smile Forget about stars for a while She melts Meanwhile millions of miles away in space An incoming comet crashes Jupiter's face And disappears away with barely a trace Was that it? Was that the Jupiter show? Kinda wasn't quite what I hoped for, you know? Pulling away, she stands up slow Around her the night turns Around her the night turns Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was it That was the Jupiter Crash Drawn too close and gone in a flash Just a few bruises in the region of the splash She moved to the sound of the sea She drifted away from me So much for gravity Round & Round & Round Round and round and round and round and round we go trying so hard to get a hold of everyone here we've got to show how much we love them all we squeak with idiot fake surprise flap our hands and flutter our eyes and lap up all their stupid lies we've got to love them all And i really don't know why we do it like this imitation smiles and how "it's wonderful to be her i'm really not sure what we're so scared we'll miss So round and round and round and round and round we go hanging on every shape they throw it's strange the way we can't say no until we love them all So we laugh at every stupid joke and smoke and choke and point and poke and gag on countless lines how much we love them all And i really don't know why we do it like this imitation smiles and how "it's wonderful to be her i'm really not sure what we're so scared we'll miss Maybe it's the sex with the drugs and the fools or maybe it's the promise of belief? maybe it's the pleasure and the pain of the cruel or maybe it's the promise of relief? and i know that we've said it so many times "once more and never again" but however many times that we've said it before once more is never the end Gone!

A house a car a family and friends Yeah, it all means to justify the ends But sometimes...I wonder...in the back of my mind Sometimes...I wonder...if I'm wasting all my time Sometimes...I wonder...if I'm putting off my real life... What I could've done, where I could've been When I should've gone, when I should've seen Who I would've loved, how I would've dreamed And if it's always always too late... I don't think I ever know that I ever really need it Could be why I'm never sure that I ever really feel it And I think it's maybe easier to guess I really mean it... A house! A car! A family and friends! Yeah, all it means to justify the ends But sometimes...I wonder... A girl! A smile! A holiday and sex! Yeah, all it takes to make sense of the rest But sometimes...I wonder...in the back of my mind Sometimes...I wonder...if I'm killing all my time Sometimes...I wonder...if I'm giving up my real life... What I could've done, where I could've been When I should've gone, why I should've seen Who I would've loved, how I would've dreamed And if it's always always too late... And every day that I let slide Is one more day I never try To break the world To make my fate And with every day that I let go It's one day less I never know If it's always Always too late...

Other 2 Late So I'll wait for you Where I always wait Behind the signs that sell the news I'll watch for you like yesterday And hope for you One day that once Spent out on me And up 'til late I search for you Your hat pushed straight Away from me Your measured step Heads up you win Always too late If I could just once catch your eye Invisible against the words That hold you down in solitude And never let you go The way that every time My eyes just close Like lids of wooden men in file I put you under rainy day Your hat's all off And I'm gone away Adonais he breaks the spell still young and words from out this dream of life and leaves us sleeping stone rack lying consumed by phantom pains and displays of greed he slips from out this shadowland and pain where heads grow soft and grey and age destroys all hope and spirits crush the men and hide away the wordless watch the soft sky smile and breathless hear the low wind sigh what death will join no more let love divide "dream yourself awake" he calls "an eternity awaits us all open your eyes and be with me be with me..." he breaks the chains so young disspells the hateful shades of treacherous time leaves us sleeping tortured mute devoured by ghosts and dreams of life slips through ties and dust to be the world we dream he lives apart but everything we feel the young and beautiful and brave of heart the wordless watch the soft sky smile and breathless hear the low wind sigh what death will join no more let love divide "dream yourself awake" he calls "an eternity awaits us all open your eyes and be with me be with me..." "dream yourself awake" he calls "an eternity awaits us all open your eyes and be with me be with me forever..." All I Have To Do Is Kill Her Pulling this watch as faces go Pulling in a word and done it slow this other time I see your face is silent Oh, we go away and play What have you done Takes a feeling inside us all Continue out with just one push in my mouth But you're so close now And you're so close now All I have to do is three short blows All that still is best inside The full when the wall And you don't even know And the other faces here with me The others dressed in summers thing If only one way is to be beautiful If only one way is to the other song And every time it's you, it's like the blood on the stairs is sent away And every time we see it's all said before you If only the ways to kill you You used to say this fear of drowning Fear no death by water Father walks in at the foot of the bed Six of you want to see you safe Just one time you'll meet this man All you've got to do is kill her And all you've got to do is kill her Trickle the sands against and pull the animals Just out of the womb Seeing the cow dead before he was born It's the man he, he loved The solid pieces fell on the ground He couldn't kill another life He couldn't kill another life He couldn't kill another life It's all been painted with love It could have been some friends Pulling strings to meet you All I want to do is reach it She says 'Let go my shoulder!' See the sky! And the sky goes black And the sky goes black I just want to feel her I just want to feel her I just want you to feel it I just want you to feel it Everytime I looked up the stairs I used to see her die She would move so slow Anyone could've been but she was a cat Anyone could've been she was a cat Pulling away as I used to fight That's just playing so low That ugly or pretty The face stays the same Her face stays the same Her face stays the same The ugly or pretty Her face stays the same, stays the same, stays the same And looking on the final walls And looking on the final walls Did you now find this malice out The angels fall Let's make some more ('noise'?) Let's make some more ('noise'?) Help me be your mother for just one day Let's fall in churches far outside They used to love They used to love... Another Journey By Train Instrumental Ariel Golden midnight taking us across the water (line...sounds vaguely like 'holy love sing we're falling close in every other') As dawn breaks i wonder Sun's growing cold Ours is not to wonder To never grow old To never grow old Oh ariel i (it?) will always feel right out here (nearly unintelligible line) Sister & brother Never loved each other like this (line) And never fall You never fall Ariel Babble Nothing ever changes Nothing ever moves I swim around in circles In the same old lifeless room And talk about the mirror man The whispers in my ear again The hot and sticky pillow man Is smothering my face again Nothing ever changes Nothing ever moves And I run around hysterical In dead persistent gloom And babble out in simile Like dog-head-monkey-music me Shut up shut up shut up shut up Shut up!!! And let me breathe... The Big Hand The big hand makes all of your favourite things Like all your dreams go small And all your friends run away Until your memories fall And the words don't fit But the way the big hand smiles You just won't care about it The big hand makes all of your favourite things Like all your days run out And all your hopes disappear And your smiles just stop And your eyes go dead And the shadows start to crawl In the back of your head But when the big hand speaks It's like fireworks and heaven So you listen don't think And wish for nothing at all And when the big hand sings It's like fireworks and friends Leaving alone I'm not Leaving alone Leaving alone I'll never Leave alone again So when the big hand holds up all your favourite things And with a touch like glass Starts to squeeze You don't ask 'Why me?' You just slip to the floor Just slip to your knees But when the big hand speaks It's like fireworks and heaven So you listen don't think And wish for nothing at all And when the big hand sings It's like fireworks and friends Leaving alone I'm not Leaving alone Leaving alone never leaving alone Leaving alone I'm not Leaving alone Leaving alone I'm not leaving alone again Breathe Breathe Breathe on me Be like you used to be Breathe on me Move in me Be like you used to be Move in me Move in me Be with me Be like you used to be With me With me Burn Don't look, don't look The shadows breath Whispering me away from you Don't wake at night to watch her sleep You know that you will always see This trembling ritual towers above my throat Every night I burn Every night I call your name Every night I burn Every night I call again Don't talk of love cause shadows blur Murmuring me away from you Don't talk of worlds that never were The end is always ever true There's nothing you can ever say Nothing you can ever do Still every night I burn Every night I scream your name Every night I burn Every night the dream's the same Every night I burn Waiting for my only friend Every night I burn Waiting for the world to end Just paint you face and shadows smile Slipping me away from you It doesn't matter how you hide We'll find you if we're wanting to So slide back down and close your eyes And sleep a while you must return When every night I burn Every night I call your name Every night I burn Every night I fall again Every night I burn And scream the animal scream Every night I burn Dream the crow black dream Carnage Visors Instrumental Chain of Flowers Please wake up It's so dark and cold Please wake up I feel so alone And I feel so scared That you're going away And I feel so scared... All I want is summer Stories from before Just like the day you tried to hide Behind the churchyard wall And fell asleep before I came I found you In a chain of flowers Sleeping like a marble girl Sleeping in another world...

I am lost again With everything gone And more alone Than I have ever been I expect you to understand To feel it too But I know that even if you will You cannot ever help me Nor can I Ever help you A Few Hours After This... The look before I go Is the look for you You only have to look and it will all come true And we can fall outside Into the fizzy night Or pull me down in here You know it's all the same I only want to see if you are happy again Or we can roll around And find out upside down A few hours after this and we're apart again Like two white checks Like opposite poles In a secret game (like nothing like these I suppose...) I really should have known by the cut of your smile That the answer would be simple It still took you awhile to get it out of me I thought you'd do it easily Just put your hands around my heart And squeeze me until I'm dry I never thought you'd ever start to ever ask me why I never saw you again A Foolish Arrangement Christabel strips And slips like a dream Breaking ice with arms that gleam with pain Disdain... She throws her head And glides against the stream Throwing me her bravest smile Defiant Glittering Shivering guile "Catching a cold is quick this time But fish?... Fish may take a while..." Christabel dips and slips from me And hand pushed deep inside is suddenly free Triumphant Reluctantly Struggling six legs held up for me to see "Don't be scared It's nothing new It's the same old game; only fun with two..." But fast and over and over "I can't play this game with you" Everything she tries to tell me Leaves me open mouthed and still Foolishly arrange tomorrow The way I always will Christabel trips And grips my hand But never to be saved For a second I understand And I fall with her... "I'll never leave you Love you See you change into the man I want But it's not for long this thing It's not for long..." Halo I never felt like this with anyone before you only have to smile and I'm dizzy you make the world go round a thousand times an hour just touch my head and send me spinning I never felt like this with anyone before you show me colours and I'm crying you hold my eyes in yours and open up the world i can't believe all of this i want to keep this feeling deep inside of me i want you always in my heart you are everything i never felt like this with anyone before you fill my head full of rainbows and all the rainbows end is every step you take just to be with you forever i want to keep this feeling deep inside of me i want you always in my heart you are everything Happy Birthday (Simon) Those down days When you felt so young And everything seemed You saw the people Around You Getting old You wake up The teenage yearn is Gone for you It happens to others It happens all the time Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you The candles on the cake Waiting to be blown Wish I was An other Happy the Man I'll never understand (Come closer and I'll whisper) Who was that standing in the rain?

Like her scent used to fill up the night So I get down on the floor Like I am worshipping god Burning like a monkey I get down on the floor Like I am praying to the lord Burning like a monkey Just look at me now Just look at me this way It looks like I am quite insane It looks like I am trying to eat off my face It looks like I'm going to the land of the blind anyway Back where the sun never shines Back to the land of the blind Back in a Japanese dream Man Inside My Mouth I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating I was wrapped up in a blanket I was grey Damp and sore The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic (like I think I'm at the racing Like the night before) I remember one girl standing One was sitting on the ground One was holding me up The other pulling me down And I couldn't decide which one was real Because there wasn't a sound (Like I was pregnant again...) "Don't move don't blink don't even breathe" she said "Or the photograph will spoil And cut you off at the head" So I was sucking I was sucking like a fat lady would But I couldn't hold it down another second (Bleagh!) "Don't twitch don't shout don't think don't even breathe" she said "Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at the head" So I was sweating I was sweating like a fat lady would And I woke up With a man inside my mouth (This won't hurt at all) More Than This For a second of your life Tell me that its true I'm waiting for a sign It's all I want of you You heart hides a secret &#168The promise of what is&#168 ...or something more than this? Just a second of your time Any one will do The taste of any other Is all I want from you Offer me the world How can I resist Something more than this Make believe in magic Make believe in dreams Make believe impossible Nothing as is seems Too see touch taste smell hear But never know if its real For a second of you life Tell me if its true Anywhere we are It's all I want of you On your lips lies a secret &#168The promise of a kiss&#168 ...or something more than this?

Ocean i don't think i'm any closer now than i was at fifteen i still don't know what i really want or how i really feel sometimes i think i've seen too much sometimes nothing at all and sometimes i think i just forgot what i was looking for but i still need to believe in you i still need to know you'll never never give up i believe in you... so how can you ever let my hope turn to despair? how can you ever stop telling me you care? but i still need to believe in you i still need to know you'll never never give up i believe in you... so how can you ever let my hope turn to despair? tell me you believe it too tell me that you care how can you ever let my hope turn to despair? how can you ever stop pretending? Out of Mind I've been up for days And I feel like a menagerie I'm scratching 'til I bleed And I keep on seeing Imaginary lemurs In the street In the middle of the day But as long as I can breathe Then I know I'll be OK I'll be alright I'm out of mind I'm out of sight I'm out of sight I've been up for days And I feel like a laboratory rat Inside a maze And I reel in the monotony of Screaming At the moon In the middle of the day But as long as I can see it Then I know I'll be ok I'll be fine I'm out of sight I'm completely out of mind Completely out of mind OK Alright Come and watch me shake tonight Mouth wide Soft and bright Bite my hand and scream OK Alright Come and watch me break tonight Push deep Out of sight Bite my hand and hold on tight...

Snow in Summer High up on this mountain The whole world looks so small And all the rivers Run away Slipping in your deep green heart I drink you as I swim And I'm sliding And I'm sliding with you Slide beneath my skin Sleek and deep And salty sweet You open up in me Just like the snow in summer High up on this mountain The whole world looks so small And all the rivers Run away Slipping in your soft white heart I drink you as I swim And I'm falling And I'm falling with you Fall beneath my skin Sleek and deep And salty sweet You come And close in me Just like the snow in summer Just like the snow in summer As it melts Into the sea Splintered in Her Head Shape is still Asleep With the toys As tall as men The pictures in the hallway Turning inside Whispers Unseen Jumping against the sky Slipping away He looks For the last time... Stop Dead Let me forget Let me forget Or let me go let me go I'll keep it quiet as a whisper I'll keep it low low low Never The biggest word I ever heard Stop dead Stop dead You're getting too close Before you even opened your eyes I moved about a million ways I killed about a million people And filled about half a day Before you even opened your eyes You had to have to ask me who I love it I mean you My face was in your hands You looked into my eyes You said I tasted right And swallowed me alive Sugar Girl Oh I wish I could find it funny You laughing like that But instead I change into a rage And run around Without a face I wish I could find it funny When you never came back But I don't suppose I'll ever know The how to keep you Goodbye sugar girl Goodbye sugar girl This Is A Lie How each of us decides I've never been sure the part we play the way we are how each of us denies any other way in the world why each of us must choose I've never understood one special friend one true love why each of us must lose everyone else in the world However unsure however unwise day after day play out our lives however confused pretending to know to the end but this isn't the truth this isn't right this isn't love this isn't life this isn't real this is a lie How each of believe I've never really known in heaven unseen and hell unknown how each of us dreams to understand anything at all why each of us decides I've never been sure the part we take the way we are why each of denies every other way in the world However unsure however unwise day after day play out our lives however confused pretending to know to the end But this isn't truth this isn't right this isn't love this isn't life this isn't real this is a lie but this isn't truth this isn't right this isn't love this isn't life this isn't real this is a lie This Twilight Garden I lift my lips from kissing you to kiss the sky cloud soft and blue and slow the sun melts down into your golden words for me I lift my hands from touching you to touch the wind that whispers through this twilight garden turns into a world where dreams are real no-one will ever take your place I am lost in you no-one will ever take your place so in love with you I lift my eyes from watching you to watch the star rise shine onto your dreaming face and dreaming smile you're dreaming worlds for me I lift my lips from kissing you and kiss the sky wide deepest blue and slow the moon swims up into your golden words for me no-noe will ever take your place I am lost in you no-one will ever take your place so in love with you Throw Your Foot It's funny how your face gets bigger Gets bigger in this atmosphere And your mouth goes dry With every move you try It's so funny here Jumping around -- click click click When you're so slow It's like the world is stopping Fifteen times I try this And every time I faint You look at me and Start to tell the joke About the man who couldn't stop Hiccupping It would be so perfect If you would just fall out the window Throw your foot away You're tired and your face is grey Like the sad old fool You groove To the Sky One perfect morning I was all alone Listening to the blaze of summer Drifting I was falling I was floating in a golden haze Breathing in the sky-blue sun Of memories of other days And in my dreams I was a child Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes And I was floating through the colours of the sky Up to the stars and angels Up to heaven Up forever Up to heaven Up forever Turning in my climb I looked down on a lake Traced upon the water There I saw your face Sending recollection of the times we shared Pushed on ever up into the sky And in my dreams I was a child Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes And I was floating through the colours of the sky Up to the stars and angels Up to heaven Up forever Up to heaven Up forever Wailing Wall The holy city breathed Like a dying man It moved with hopeful tears With the tears of the blind And on and on as the night drew in Through broken streets That sucked me in My feet were bare and cut with stones With walking to the promised land I pushed through crowds Through seas of prayer Through twisting hands and choking air A vulture at the wailing wall I circled Waiting Tonight I'll dream a girl called home And wake up in tears All on my own With the sun coming up And my head against stone Balcony dressed and drawn Tonight I'll dream a room so far away Frost pale blue The colour of a perfect day And then screw up my face In the mirror As I wait for the others to call But if I don't believe in magic And I don't believein blood And I don't believe in miracles And I don't believe in love Then how come I believe so soon In a cherry tree girl And a dust blue room? Tonight I'll dream an hour so long Shadow soft smiles And everyone loves me To open my eyes In a drag myself face undone Hard back into the world Tonight I'll dream a dream I dream Without even trying I'm flying I scream As I practice the move I spit at my pillow stained face And the others all come But if I don't believe in magic And I don't believein blood And I don't believe in miracles And I don't believe in love Then how come I believe it seems In a girl called home And a world called dreams? Wrong Number Lime green lime green and tangerine Are the sickly sweet colours of the snakes I'm seeing Lime green lime green and tangerine Are the sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams Lime green lime green and tangerine Are the sickly sweet colours of the snakes I'm seeing Lime green and tangerine Are the sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams It gets to Friday and I give you a call "You know I'm getting kind of worried No she doesn't seem herself at all... Lime green and a sickly kind of orange I've never seen her like this before..." I had the best laid plans this side of America Started out in church and finished with angelica Red and blue sould with a snow white smile "Can you dig it?" I had the best laid plans this side of America Started out in church and finished with angelica And now I dig in the dirt And I'm down here for a while... You've got to make up your mind and make it soon Is there room in your life? For one more trip to the moon? Is there room in your life For one more? Burn red burn red burn red burn red and gold Are the deep dark colours of the snakes I hold Burn red burn red burn red and gold Are the deep dark colours of the devil at home "She pulls me down just as I'm trying to hide Grabs me by the hair and drags me outside And starts digging in the dirt... For a not so early bird its the only way For her to get the worm..." I had the best laid plans this side of America Started out in church and finished with angelica Red and blue sould with a snow white smile "Can you dig it?" I had the best laid plans this side of America Started out in church and finished with angelica And now I did in the dirt And I'll be down here for a while... "Hello? Are you still there?" ...and much too late... "Sorry, wrong number"
