The lights are on our side, driving out of town tonight
This night the colour of blue glass The warm wind is in our hair, summertime is everywhere It's funny how today just flew past I've been in the wrong place, I've been in the wrong place Long enough to know I'm in the right place now Five or ten lifetimes ago, there lived a girl that you don't know She walked about and answered to my name But let's not talk of strangers now, of where and when or why and how I've turned around and I'm looking at a new day I've been in the wrong place, I've been in the wrong place Long enough to know I'm in the right place now I've been waiting so long, I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long Now I don't mind if the sun goes down The night can't hurt me now The summer's young and the road is clear I thank whatever brought me here I've been in the wrong place, I've been in the wrong place Long enough to know I'm in the right place now I'm in the right place now ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By NEVIN, MARK EDWARD <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

From the top of the bus
She thought she saw him wave She saw Tuesdays and forgetfulness And a little money saved Does she know, I don't know But from here I can tell That it would try the patience of angels It would try the patience of angels, angels And you know something's wrong When the morning hurts your eyes And the baby won't stop crying You'll be waiting till you die Would I be any good And if I was would I find That it would try the patience of angels It would try the patience of angels There's a door in a wall in a house in a street In a town where no-one knows her name She's the patience of angels Does she know, I don't know But from here I can tell There's a door in a wall, in a house, in a street In a town where no-one knows her name There's a door in a wall, in a house, in a street In a town where no-one knows her name She's the patience of angels Patience of angels That it would try the patience of angels And we try the patience of angels And it would try the patience of angels And we try the patience of angels |

Oh, dear John
I hate to be the one to break the news But it’s concerning me and you This is the letter no one ever wants to write You may not believe me But it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done My eyes see other glories Other dreams and other stories And I want to live before I die, dear John Ten years on I still dream and we still hesitate The passion’s all but gone Oh, dear John Seems we have a bad day every day I want to sleep my life away This is the letter no one ever wants to read And though it hurts like hell It may be what you need to tell you I never wanted to be cruel But I’m so tired of being the strong one And I don’t always have the energy And you always leave it up to me, John My eyes have seen the glory There’s more to life than my life story And I’ll probably never find him But I have to keep on looking And I’m very very sorry, dear John Dear John |

she’s an iceberg
white and glistening open fire see her melting (holding on to the east of us) there’s a tornado turning (I wish you well from the east of us) in the palms of our careless hands (you’re a million miles from the east of us) whistling and burning (a long way down our lifeline) tearing down our lifeline he’s on a river fast white water he just can’t hold her she just can’t hold him why d’you do that tear our house down with your nights of swimming and diving and drowning ah diving and drowning (holding on to the east of us) just a tornado turning (I wish you well from the east of us) in the palm of our careless hand (you’re a million miles from the east of us) whistling and burning (a long way down our lifeline) tearing down our lifeline so be brave now look I’ve seen it God it’s beautiful never fear it ah, we’re at the edge now crouched and praying it feels like suicide it feels like flying oh like Icarus he kissed the sunshine jump we’re falling but stay we’re drowning so run and fly run and fly ooh-aah oh-oo |

D'you hear the one about
The one you're now without? Did it make you smile? D'you hear the one about The one you filled with doubt? Was it worth your while? The way you kick a life around Deserving to be underground What is this? Explain Joke, is it some kind of joke? Joke, I'm laughing, I'm laughing I'm laughing I'm laughing D'you hear the one about The one who fell from space One minute in the stars The next minute lying on their face? She says I don't know what to be And does she look younger than me? What is this? Explain Joke, is it some kind of joke? Joke, I'm laughing, I'm laughing I'm laughing I'm laughing For a tumble and something to do at night You kick a life around, oh-oh-woh For a tumble with someone you know at sight D'you hear the one about the one you're now without? She says I don't know what to be And does she look younger than me? And does my make-up look alright? Can you tell that I've been up all night? What is this? Explain Joke, is it some kind of joke? Joke, I'm laughing, I'm laughing What is this? Explain Joke, is it some kind of joke? Joke, I'm laughing, I'm laughing I'm laughing I'm laughing I'm laughing I'm laughing D'you hear the one about the one you're now without? D'you hear the one about the one you're now without? D'you hear the one about the one you're now without? D'you hear the one about the one you're now without? D'you hear the one about the one you're now without? D'you hear the one about the one you're now without? |

In a paparazzi photograph she was stepping from a car
The tired eyes betrayed the smile of the faded singing star At the publishers reception on the launching of her book She told the grimy details and the toll the details took The tours, applause, awards of course But as the years went by, those fundamental things still applied Oh but she thought she'd be the exception Oh yes she thought she'd be the exception But don't we all think we're the exception Sometimes, sometimes The workaholic millionaire and his pretty younger wife Had everything there was out there in the ad mans perfect life But she left him for the milkman and then moved into his flat Everyone said silly girl to do a thing like that The house, the cars, the credit cards but he didn't ask her why He knows that there's some things even cash can't buy Oh yes he thought he'd be the exception Oh yes he thought he'd be the exception But don't we all think we're the exception Sometimes, sometimes If a handout to the hungry and the homeless Is a fiver in the fickle hand of fate Does it mean we'll be there on the guest list When we get to heaven's gate No pain, no gain, that's what they're saying and it's hard to disagree But I thought somehow they weren't including me Oh but I thought I'd be the exception Oh yes I thought I'd be the exception But don't we all think we're the exception Sometimes, sometimes ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By NEVIN, MARK EDWARD <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

when I watch you sleeping
I see myself for what I am and the secret I’ve been keeping it’s more than I can stand oh I’ve tried but can’t ignore what I know in heaven saw that’s why when I watch you sleeping I cry there’s a number in my pocket that I should really lose and your picture in my locket smiles so warm and true oh my heart grows ever cold at the thought of the lies I’ve told that’s why when I watch you sleeping I cry if I confess would you forgive me or if I pretend will this emptiness always be with me when I hear you talking with your unquestioning faith I stop our eyes from meeting I turn my face away why should you pay for the crime when all the blame is mine that’s why when I watch you sleeping I cry |

I remember all of this in slow motion
Every tawdry detail Dust caught in the sun in your kitchen Empty words, saying nothing I nearly forgot who i was I nearly forgot who i was I nearly forgot who i was I nearly forgot who i was A church behind a road, a couple kissing Both of us know what that means I'd rather have that kiss than what is missing Say anything you like and I'll believe you I nearly forgot who i was I nearly forgot who i was I nearly forgot who I was I nearly forgot who I was What a wonderful lie What a wonderful lie What a wonderful lie What a wonderful lie What's the truth ever done for me? I don't know So tell me again Tell me again Tell me again This wonderful lie All I want is something I can't have And if you can't tell the truth Then make it a wonderful lie I see you dance with all your heroes Each different doll in judy garland shoes And if they can dance Then why, oh why, can't I? I nearly forgot who I was I nearly forgot who I was I nearly forgot who I was I nearly forgot who I was What a wonderful lie What a wonderful lie What a wonderful lie What a wonderful lie What's the truth ever done for me? I don't know So tell me again Tell me again Tell me again This wonderful lie Your wonderful lie Your wonderful lie |
