Mercury falling
I rise from my bed, Collect my thoughts together I have to hold my head It seems that she's gone And somehow I am pinned by The Hounds of Winter Howling in the wind I walk through the day My coat around my ears I look for my companion I have to dry my tears It seems that she's gone Leaving me too soon I'm as dark as December I'm as cold as the Man in the Moon I still see her face As beautiful as day It's easy to remember Remember my love that way All I hear is that lonesome sound The Hounds of Winter They follow me down I can't make up the fire The way that she could I spend all my days In the search for dry wood Board all the windows and close the front door I can't believe she won't be here anymore I still see her face As beautiful as day It's easy to remember Remember my love that way All I hear is that lonesome sound The Hounds of Winter They follow me down A season for joy A season for sorrow Where she's gone I will surely, surely follow She brightened my day She warmed the coldest night The Hounds of Winter They got me in their sights I still see her face As beautiful as day It's easy to remember Remember my love that way All I hear is that lonesome sound The Hounds of Winter They harry me down (Music & Lyrics by Sting) |

"Seven days" was all she wrote
A kind of ultimatum note She gave to me, she gave to me When I thought the field had cleared It seems another suit appeared To challenge me, woe is me Though I hate to make a choice My options are decreasing mostly rapidly Well we'll see I don't think she'd bluff this time I really have to make her mine It's plain to see It's him or me Monday, I could wait till Tuesday If I make up my mind Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait But Sunday'd be too late The fact he's over six feet ten Might instill fear in other men But not in me, The Mighty Flea (flee?) Ask if I am mouse or man The mirror squeaked, away I ran He'll murder me in time for his tea Does it bother me at all My rival is Neanderthal it makes me think Perhaps I need a drink IQ is no problem here We won't be playing scrabble for her hand I fear I need that beer Monday, I could wait till Tuesday If I make up my mind Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait But Sunday'd be too late Seven days will quickly go The fact remains, I love her so Seven days, so many ways But I can't run away Monday, I could wait till Tuesday If I make up my mind Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait But Sunday'd be too late Do I have to tell a story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet |

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy She wants him so badly Knows what she wants to be Inside her there's longing This girl's an open page Book marking She's so close now This girl is half his age Don't stand to close to me Her friends are so jealous You know how bad girls get Sometimes it's not so easy To be the teacher's pet Temptation, frustration So bad it makes him cry Wet bus stop, whe's waiting His car is warm and dry Don't stand so close to me Loose talk in the classroom To hurt they try and try Strong words in the staffroom The accusations fly It's no use He sees her He starts to shake he starts to cough Just like the old man in That famous book by Nabakov Don't stand so close to me |

When We Dance
If I could break down these walls And shout my name at Heaven's gate I'd take these hands and I'd destroy The dark machineries of fate Cathedrals are broken Heaven's no longer above Hellfire's a promise away I'd still be saying, "I'm still in love.." "Still in love.." "Still in love.." "Still in love with you" He won't love you Like I love you He won't care for you this way He'll mistreat you with disdain Come and live with me We'll have children of our own I would love you more than life If you'll come and be my wife When we dance (I'm gonna love you night and day) Angels will run and hide their wings (I'm gonna try in every way) (I'm gonna find a place to live) (Give you all I got to give) (I will love you more than life) (If you'll only be my wife) When we dance (I will love you more than life) Angels run and hide their wings (If you'll only be my wife) (I'm gonna love you night and day) (I'm gonna try in every way) When we dance (I'm gonna find a place to live) Angels run and hide their wings (Give you all I got to give) (I will love you more than life) (If you'll only be my wife) When we dance....... (I'm gonna find a place to live) (Give you all I got to give) (I will love you more than life) (If you'll only be my wife) (I'm gonna love you night and day) (I'm gonna try in every way) I had a dream last night Dreamt you were by my side Walking with me baby My heart was filled with pride I had a dream last night |

I looked out across
The river today, I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower Where the seagulls play. I saw the sad shire horses walking home In the sodium light I saw two priests on the ferry October geese on a cold winter's night And all this time, the river flowed Endlessly to the sea. Two priests came round our house tonight One young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying To serve the final rite, One to learn, one to teach, Which way the cold wind blows Fussing and flapping in priestly black Like a murder of crows And all this time, the river flowed Endlessly to the sea If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river And I'd bury the old man, I'd bury him at sea Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle And as these words were spoken I swear I hear The old man laughing, 'What good is a used up world, and how could it be worth having' And all this time the river flowed Endlessly like a silent tear And all this time the river flowed Father, if Jesus exists, Then how come he never lived here. The teacher told us, the Romans built this place They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire Garrison town, They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods But the stone gods did not make a sound And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left Were the stones the workmen found And all this time the river flowed In the falling light of a northern sun If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river Men go crazy in congregations But they only get better One by one One by one... |

A Thousand Years - Sting
A thousand years, a thousand more, A thousand times a million doors to eternity I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times An endless turning stairway climbs To a tower of souls If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars, The towers rise to numberless floors in space I could shed another million tears, a million breaths, A million names but only one truth to face A million roads, a million fears A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty I could speak a million lies, a million songs, A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time But if there was a single truth, a single light A single thought, a singular touch of grace Then following this single point , this single flame, The single haunted memory of your face I still love you I still want you A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head I may be numberless, I may be innocent I may know many things, I may be ignorant Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief I still love you I still want you A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head On and on the mysteries unwind themselves Eternities still unsaid 'Til you love me |

I’ve had a question that’s been preying on my mind for some
time I won’t be wagging my tail for one good reason It has to be a crime This doghouse never was the place for me, Runner up and second best just ain’t my pedigree I was so happy, just the two of us Until this alpha male Turned up in the January sale He won’t love you Like I love you, It won’t be long now before that puppy goes astray And what I like about this guy the most?... He'd be my favourite lamppost Devil take the hindmost Je sais que c'est dur, mais ilfaut se faire ar changement, tu vois J’ai n?lig?le primordial pendant trop longtemps crois moi… Je suis consciente, je vois bien que tu souffres, mais 裔 s’ attenuera Car c’est d’un homme plus d’un chien don't j’ai besoin pres de moi Cesse donc de grogner, mon choix est fait c’est comme 裔 N’en fait pas trop, ton attitude risque de t’?oigner de moi Faut que tu comprennes, puisque tu dis m’aimer tant que 裔 Desormais nous sommes trois, lui toi et moi It’s a shaggy kind of story Would I tell you if I thought it was a lie? But when the cat's away the mouse will play, I wouldn't dish around here There’s something fishy round here I howl all night and I sleep all day It takes more than biscuit baby to chase these blues away I’ve got a long enough leash I could almost hang myself It's a dogs life loving you baby But you love someone else Now he’s moved by basket I’d like to put him in a casket I’ll wear my best collar to his funeral Ta mauvaise foi, j’aimerais bien que 裔 s’arr?e Me separer de toi, aujourd’hui 裔 trotte dans ma t?e Moi non, j’en peux plus, tu n’est q’un chien, c’est trop b? e La situation m’avait ppourtant l’air d’?re des pius nette C’est clair, que je l’aime c’est un fait, ton ?o?me m’ inqui?e Apr? toutes ces soir?s pass?s seuis en t?e ?t?e Chaque chose a une fin, et c’est la fin de la f?e Pour toi, car bient? il n'y aura plus que lui et moi, lui et moi. To have found this perfect life And a perfect love so strong Well there can't be nothing worse Than a perfect love gone wrong You said I wasn't just your Christmas toy I'd always be your boy I'd be your faithful companion And I would follow you through every thick and thin Don't need nobody else And we don't need him |

<< Brand New Day >>
--- Sting How many of you people out there Been hurt in some kind of love affair? And how many times did you swear That you뭗 never love again? How many lonely sleepless nights? How many lies how many fights? And why would you want to Put yourself through all of that again? Love is pain I hear you say Love is a cruel and bitter way of Paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain How could it be that what you need the most Can leave you feeling just like a ghost? You never want to feel so sad and lost again One day you could be looking Through an old book in rainy weather You see a picture of her smiling at you When you were still together You could be walking down the street And who should you chance to meet? But that same old smile you뭭e been thinking of all day? Why don't we turn the clock to zero honey? I뭠l sell the stock we뭠l spend all the money We're starting up a brand new day Turn the clock all the way back I wonder if she뭠l take me back I뭢 thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero sister You뭠l never know how much I missed her Starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero boss The rivers wide we뭠l swim across We're starting up a brand new day It could happen to you Just like it happened to me There is simply no immunity There's no guarantee I say love is such a force if you find yourself in it You need some time for reflection You say, baby wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Turn the clock to zero honey I뭠l sell the stock we뭠l spend all the money We're starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero Mac I'm begging her to take me back I뭢 thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero boss The rivers wide we'll swim across Starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero buddy Don뭪 wanna be no fuddy duddy We're Starting up a brand new day I뭢 the rhythm in your tune I뭢 the sun and you뭨e the moon I뭢 the bat and you뭨e the cave You뭨e the beach and I뭢 the wave I뭢 the plough and you're the land You뭨e the glove and I뭢 the hand I뭢 the train and you뭨e the station I뭢 the flagpole to your nation I'm the present to your future You're the wound and I'm the suture You're the magnet to my pole I'm the devil in your soul You're the pupil I'm the teacher You're the church and I'm the preacher You're the flower I'm the rain You're the tunnel I'm the train Stand up, all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl Stand up, all you lovers in the world We're starting up a brand new day You're the crop to my rotation You're the sum of my equation I'm the answer to your question If you follow my suggestion We could turn this ship around And go up instead of down You're the pan and I'm the handle You're the flame and I'm the candle Stand up, all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl Stand up, all you lovers in the world Starting up a brand new day |

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in the fields of gold So she took her love For to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me, will you be my love Among the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in the fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in the fields of gold We'll walk in the fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold |

You could say
I lost my faith in science and progress You could say I lost my belief in the holy church You could say I lost my sense of direction You could say all of this and worse, but If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world You could say I lost my faith in the people on T.V. You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians They all seemed like game show hosts to me If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do I could be lost inside their lies without a trace But every time I close my eyes, I see your face I never saw no miracle of science That didn't go from a blessing to a curse I never saw no military solution That didn't always end up as something worse, But let me say this first If I ever lose my faith in you If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do There'd be nothing left for me to do If I ever lose my faith If I ever lose my faith If I ever lose my faith If I ever lose my faith in you |

Every breath you take
And every move you make Every bond you break, every step you take I will be watching you Every single day And every word you say Every game you play, every night you stay I will be watching you Oh, cant you see You belong to me? How my poor heart aches With every step you take Every move you make Every vow you break Every smile you fake, every claim you stake I will be watching you Since you have gone I have been lost without a trace I dream at night, I can only see your face I look around, but itz you I cant replace I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace I keep crying baby, baby please... Every move you make Every vow you break Every smile you fake, every claim you stake I will be watching you |

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun Tomorrow`s rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime`s argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are how fragile we are How fragile we are how fragile we are |
