Is it asking too much to be given time
To know these songs and to sing them Is it asking too much of my vacant smile And my laugh and lies that bring them But as the stars are going out And this stage is full of nothing And the friends have all but gone For my life, my God, I′m singing We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out Is it asking too much of my favourite friends To take these songs for real Is it asking too much of my partner′s hands To take these songs for real But as the stars are going out And this stage is full of nothing And the friends have all but gone For my life, my God, I′m singing We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside... We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside, Leave our lives behind, I′ll watch the stars go out I′ll watch the stars go out I′ll watch the stars go out... |

If you need somebody around you
Well then I'll be the one who's there If you need somebody to listen Well then I'll be the one who's there But you seem to think you'll manage alone I'll be around and I'll be waiting for your call If you need somebody to love you Well, then I'll be the one who's there Yes, I'll be the one who's there... |

In time the stakes will change
even persistination couldn't stay I don't mind I don't mind I'll be around anywhere any place you want me I'll be around anywhere any time I'm free In time this place is mine you know the inspiration in my smile I don't mind I don't mind Leave it all behind I don't mind |

The wind′s whistling
My mind′s twisting I was making myself the usual cup of tea When the doorbell strangely rang Because I′ve been up here for a while I′m starting to feel the monotony of the tower block I′m not so manic now I can uphold the weight of those neighbours And she′s lifting and throwing to the wall The post-natal harmonies of youth When this younger man, twenty-five Advantageously took away her pride The wind′s whistling My mind′s twisting I was making myself the usual cup of tea When the doorbell strangely rang I staggered shaking slowly to the door Through the frosted panel I could see you Your intentions as a salesman truly cush You endeavoured as a psycho just to push And whilst lifting and throwing to the wall My puny structure of an ageing OAP No reason why you chose my flat Breathing deeply in a trance The wind′s whistling My mind′s twisting I was making myself the usual cup of tea When the doorbell strangely rang I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) Because I′ve been up here for a while I′m starting to feel the monotony of the tower block I′m not so manic now I can uphold the weight of those neighbours And she′s lifting and throwing to the wall The post-natal harmonies of youth When this younger man, twenty-five Advantageously took away her pride I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now |

Hello my dear friend
your reputation quite true These are thoughts I've held on & saved inside for you I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever Maybe it's been two years it could be three you know it's hard to recall I was younger I thought it was me maybe you were someone else then too I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever It's the same old thing You know I said it from the start that living together is something you do married is something you are now... I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever & even after all this I writing to you now to be reminded of it all Darling can you hear me do you understand our best decisions so often were unplanned I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever not ever... not ever... not ever |

I know why you came
this time that we've borrowed imagine us now talking tomorrow We're not very big but we're certainly clever to go on together well... what makes sense now? disgraceful... will we ever say no? It's wine that we feel that drives us together this hormonal vision that won't last forever We're old enough now & we should know better to go on together well... what makes sense now disgraceful... will we ever say no? This match that I'm burning two people still looking for something else |
