Fool (To Be Your Lover)
03:22
|
|||
How I wish that I could make you mine
I wish that I could turn back time
but these endless hours keep turning into days
all I've ever really known
is happiness will come and go
it's a truth we learned in oh so many ways
'cos we're holding on to something, something so untrue
a faded picture post-card memory of me and you
I'm a fool to be your lover
you're a fool to be mine
and the truth hurts like no other
you got to be cruel to be kind
When I think of how we used to be
something stirs inside of me
for a while it's easy to forget
all the things that we once held were true
paint it black or paint it blue
maybe that's the way I look at it
I'm a fool to be your lover
you're a fool to be mine
and the truth hurts like no other
you got to be cruel to be kind

Small Hour Eternal
03:25
|
|||
I can see that you tremble when you speak
And we’re both a pair of freaks
only we would know it
We’re awake when all the world’s asleep
Till morning brings us peace
nothing is for certain, nothing
I don’t need to know the secrets
You can hide if you like
But I know what I want
And I want to be here in your light
All we are we’ll choose
With just ourselves to lose
Say you will, say you still,
say you do
If we kiss, if we touch, if we try
would we hunger through the night
only we would know it
If I could, I'd turn back all the clocks
you and I'd get lost
no one's gonna' find us, no one
I don’t need to know the secrets
You can hide if you like
But I know what I want
And I want to be here in your light

Bernadette, So You Know
04:35
|
|||
There's a fog on the dawn
And they've gone and they've grounded the planes
There's a frost on the lawn
And it's coming November again
Bernadette do you know, something I don't know
There's a look in your eye
All adventure and havoc and change
And I won't tell a lie
When I beg that I want you to stay
Bernadette, do you know, something I don't know
Bernadette so you know
That for me it can only be you
Bernadette so you know
That it's here and it's now and it's new
Bernadette so you know, oh so you know
I'd let you fly away
On a memory, or a melody
Just give me one more night
You and me, if you'd only humour me tonight
Now the fogs up and gone
And I'm feeling the light of the day
Bernadette do you know, someone I don't know
Bernadette so you know
That for me it can only be you
Bernadette so you know
That it's here and it's now and it's new
Bernadette so you know, oh so you know
I'd let you fly away
On a memory, or a melody
Just give me one more night
You and me, if you'd only humour me tonight

Lucky 13
03:08
|
|||
When the pills and the cars and the booze
Don’t see you through
They don’t cover your tracks or your cracks
They just keep you cool
There’s a man walking round in the dark
Like he’s seen the light
All the lovers here are falling apart
We all know it ain’t right
And I’m happy that they’re working for you
But I’m hopin' they’re not coming for me….
There was a politician found in the bath
And the kids of all got guns
People askin' me – where you been at?
I ain’t seen no-one
All the sattellites are all turning to junk
And go flying round
And you can’t tell the priests from the punks
They’re howlin’, they’re howlin’ like hounds
And I’m happy that they’re working for you
But I’m hopin’ they’re not coming for me….
Every day the refrain of the train takes me away
Every day the refrain of the train and the rain and the game is the same – takes me away

Girls Can Really Cut You
05:53
|
|||
Looking back when there were clues there
but I never knew where they showed
there were shadows in her eyes and
her eyes never lie
this I know
A city is a planet
when warm love inhabits its lanes
then she comes with no warning
though the clouds have been storming
for days
Girls can really cut you down to size
it just rolls off her tongue
one moment later
you’re no-one
Girls can really cut you down to size
no, you won’t see it come
you won’t understand it
or believe
she once treasured your dreams
A miss is as good as a mile
how could I fly so close
There was a change in the wind
that’s how your sentence begins
then you’re a ghost
Calm within her fury
your judge, your jury, your grace
timing her entry, she opens
and empties
like a vein
Girls can really cut you down to size
no, you won’t see it come
you won’t understand it
or believe
she once pleasured your dreams
So we pack up the pieces
make good from the reasons to forget
She says goodbye like she means it
little lies about the leaver and the left
It's the way that they say it
the way they’re conveying all the wrong
three little words have become four
feel I was done for all along
Girls can really cut you down to size
no, you won’t see it come
you won’t understand it
or believe
she once cherished your dreams

Hollywood Lies
03:27
|
|||
Whatever happened to those gentle hollow eyed boys
Whatever mattered hasn't happened, got scattered in noise
What woulda happened if all your dreamin' came true?
Hollywood Lies, Hollywood Lies
She been sittin' waitin' for the same call every night
mirror conversations, million mirrors there catching her light
she's a living legend living scared up there in the hills
Hollywood Lies, Hollywood Lies
Ev'ry city station sees the Greyhound bus in the morn
All the dreamers taken to the place where stories get born
Ever been a waiter while you waited on waitin' on hold?
Hollywood Lies, Hollywood Lies

Never Is A Long Time
03:47
|
|||
We wrote our names in the snows of December
I know that never is a very long time
We played a game that I still remember
Now more than ever it's a very long time
We drank some wine and hid in the harbour
You're so macabre with your stories and tears
You said the stars have been there forever
I know that never is many many years
Right place, wrong time,
lost valentines
One chance, one life
gone like star-shine
You went and left me with a long long longing
kept me wanting and waiting for you
to know your love would be a wild wild wonder
pull me under and draw me to you
I saw you drive into the thunder and lighting
goodbyes in writing all smudged with your tears
your fog-lights faded like a glowing red ember
then I surrendered to a very long time

It All Begins From Here
04:58
|
|||
You know it's alright
Its been a long time coming
All the reasons
Seasons of sorrows and cheer
Whatever can and will ever be
It all begins from here
There's rhythm in time
Cities and soldiers and ticking clocks
I'm getting off
I'm gonna disappear
So many roads to anywhere
They all begin from here
Do it for yourself
Not somebody else
Alone
Nothing ever lasts
This then too will pass
Believe, believe
It all begins from here
I'm writing a note
To all of the people I never knew
There's a few
To say I'm moving on
In a way I've already gone
Far away from here
Do it for yourself
Not somebody else
Alone
Nothing ever lasts
This then too will pass
Believe, believe
It all begins from here

It Was Only You
04:34
|
|||
You really picked the perfect night
to work your charm on me
Made sure the moon switched off the light
so no-one else would see
I was some lost hero in a cautionary tale
took your story to be true
beneath your armour found a heart frozen and frail
your red red roses turned to blue
it was only you
Two lovers laughing in the park
the words and the wine and the breeze
mixing promises with lies
Like a mystic, saint, a poet of a man
you were busy painting cliches in the sky
I was some lost hero in a cautionary tale
took your story to be true
beneath your armour found a heart frozen and frail
your red red roses turned to blue
it was only you

Raven
03:20
|
|||
When I see the darkness in your eyes
Frozen as the earth beneath my feet
Could it be the summer passed us by
So suddenly
Lately I've seen you more and more
Circling the chimneys and the trees
Looking for the city or the shore
Do as you please
I've seen you fly, I've heard your cry
Into the night, take your flight
Far away,
Raven
Sometimes you remind me of myself
Or how I'd like to be
I don't need power or wealth
Just simplicity
I've seen you fly, I've heard your cry
Into the night, take your flight
Far away
Raven
