'I feel so strange what's wrong with me' You've got a problem that you can't see But I've got a feeling that the rumours are true I see the girl's go a hook in you You carry on believing That you can take or leave it Now who are you deceiving Cause when it's own up time She's in the back of you mind She's got her hooks in you You said you'd never let it happen again You spend your money and you're deeper in Your fairweather friends call two by two To let you know what's wrong with you But now your heartbeat's thumpin' You watch you nerve ends jumpin' Well I can tell yo somethin' When it's own up time You're gonna toe the line She's got her hooks in you She's got her hooks in me too. |

There's a line on her jeans That a ballpoint made >From a careless mistake That she can't wash away There's a heart on her sleeve >From a spill of red wine There's a piece of green in blue of her eyes She named it after me There's a stray dog she feeds That she found in the street And he loves her to hold him But he won't let her keep him And he claws at the door To be let out at night And she makes do without him and she worries about him She named him after me So if you ever decide That you have to escape And you travel the world And you can't find a place You could wind up believing That paradise Is nothing more than a feeling That goes on in your mind So if you ever find out what it is There's something you could do Cause if I ever hold that golden dream I want to tell you I'm gonna name it after you |

Lyrics: Helmer/Hogarth
Music: Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas I dreamed I rolled on the ocean floor In the sunken bones of a broken ship On the shadow line where whispers creep To the world above from the world beneath On waves of silver I dreamed of gold 'Till I lost the peace that dreaming gives I dreamed of the moment of my own death That no one ever dreams and lives I dreamed I sailed to the mirrored edge Of the murky world for an iron bell That dragged me down to the ocean depths And rang to mark where my shadow fell On waves of silver I dreamed of gold 'Till I lost the peace that dreaming gives I dreamed of the moment of my own death That no one ever dreams and lives That no one ever dreams and lives I dreamed I slept on the ocean bed In a silent grave of silver sand And rolled in the sway of an iron bell I've heard it said when they go to sea On stormy nights you can hear her moan She tolls for the mourning of my own death And echoes here on the village stones I dreamed of silver I dreamed of gold 'Till I lost the peace that dreaming gives I dreamed of the moment of my own death That no one ever dreams and lives That no one ever dreams and lives |

A ghost of a mist was on the field
The grey and the green together The noise of a distant farm machine Out of a the first light came A tattered necklace of hedge end trees On the southern side of the hill Betrays where the border runs between Where mary dunoon's boy fell Easter here again A time for the blind to see Easter Surely now can all of your hearts be free Out of the port of liverpool Bound for the north of ireland The wash of the spray and horsetail waves The roll of the sea below And easter here again A time for the blind to see Easter Surely now can all of your hearts be free What will you do? Make a stone of your heart? Will you set things right? When you tear them apart? Will you sleep at night? With the plough and the stars alight? What will you do? With the wire and the gun? That'll set things right When it's said and done? Will you sleep at night? Is there so much love to hide? Forgive Forget Sing never again. |

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)
The alarm by the bed Wring the dreams from my head It's a new day Leave the flakes in the bowl Milk unopened, I'm gone But I'm still late... Join the fight for a cab Take our place in the jam And watch the clock again There is a man in my head I think he came from the screen... Or the bible All he wants is for me is to be strong But I seem to be unreliable You know it gets so hard When everything you are Is everything you don't want to be But at the end of the day You're the one who burns it all away The end of the day You're the one You're the one The end of the day So won't you show me those pictures, you hold in your head And can you lose me somewhere inside them all Because there are colours that run through the heart of me That only you can see But at the end of the day You're the one who burns it all away The end of the day You're the one You're the one The end of the day You're the one who burns it all away You burn it all away Would you burn it all away Would you burn it all away |

On premenades where drunks propose to lonely arcade mannequins where ceremonies pause at the jewellers shop display feigning casual silence in strained romantic interludes till they commit themselves to the muted journey home And the pool player rests on another cue Last nights hero picking up his dues a honeymoon gambled on a ricochet she's staring at the brochures at the holidays chalking up a name in your hometown standing all your mates to another round laughing at the world till the barman wipes away the warm wet circles I saw teenage girls like gaudy moths a classrooms shabby butterflies flit in the glow of stranded telephone boxes; planning white lace weddings from smeared hearts and token proclamations, rolled from stolen lipsticks across the razored webs of glass Sharing cigarettes with experience with her giggling jealous confidantes, she faithfully traces his name with quick bitten fingernails through the tears of condensation that'll cry through the night as the glancing headlights of the last bus kiss adolescence goodbye In a warm wet circle Like a mothers kiss on your first broken heart, a warm wet circle Like a bullethole in Central Park, a warm wet circle and I'll always surrender to the warm wet circles She nervously undressed in the dancing beams of the Fidra lighthouse giving it all away before its too late She'll let a lovers tongue move in a warm wet circle giving it all away and showing no shame She'll take a mother's kiss on her first broken heart a warm wet circle, she'll realise that she plays her part in a warm wet circle (the Quarterdeck, North Berwick) [FISH and DEREK WILLIAM DICK] It was a wedding ring, destined to be found in a cheap hotel lost in a kitchen sink or thrown in a wishing well |

At that time of the night When streetlights throw crosses through window frames Paranoia roams where the shadows reign Oh, at that time of the night At that time of the night Your senses tangled in some new perfume Criticism triggers of a loaded room Oh, at that time of the night So if you ask me How do I fell inside I could honestly tell you We've been taken on a very long ride And if my owners let me Have some free time some day With all good intention I would probably run away Clutching the short straw At that time of the night When questions rally in an open mind Summon all your answers with an ice cube chime At that time of the night At that time of the night Pretend you're off the hook with the telephone Your confidence wounded in a free fire zone Oh, at that time of the night So if you ask me Where do I go from here My next destination Even isn't really that clear So if you join me And get on your knees and prey I'll show you salvation We'll take the alternative way Clutching the short straw If I had enough money I'd buy a round for that boy over-there A companion in my madness in the mirror The one with the silvery hair And if some kind soul Could please pick up my tab And while they're at it If they could pick up my broken heart Warm wet circles... |

Cover my eyes
The light falls on her face Dangerous lines Dangerous colours and shapes Ferocious designs Connected and ready to play Buttoned up tight Crimson and Halloween-white She's like the girl in the movie when the Spitfire falls Like the girl in the picture that he couldn't afford She's like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward Like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors Pain and heaven Pain and heaven The meaning of life A hair falls out of place Cover my eyes Dangerous colours and shapes And when she moves Cover my eyes She like the girl on the TV with the red guitar Like the girl with the dealer at the end of the bar She's like the girl with the smile in the dream in the dark Like the girl overtaking in the open car Pain and heaven Pain and heaven |

Maybe you're just too upset inside to give it to me straight. Maybe you've become too angry and too close to crying, To say anything I can understand, Or Maybe you're just coming in over my head. Maybe you're just too upset inside, You're too upset inside. How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt? You're never going to square with me I know so what is there to say? When there's a million words that we could share at night, why do you walk away? And I could write you off and it's over with. Like a damaged car I can't afford to fix. But everything inside me wants to heal your pain. You won't explain, you won't explain. How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can I help if I don't understand? How can it hurt? How can it hurt? When I don't understand. When I don't understand. Tell me How can it hurt When I don't understand? etc. |

(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth)
She bought a bottle of cider From the shop on the corner They didn't stop her Thought she was older She took a bus ride To a name and a number A house full of music And a hat full of wonder And some of the people that She thought that she knew Were never like this When she saw them at school She's never been anywhere like this before Everybody's so out of control She was in a backroom Full of strange aromas And noises and candles That was where he found her He took her to a garden Full of rain and silence And she could smell the soil and the trees And see the succulent light From the little fires in his eyes Pulling shapes out of the night She was enchanted.... Then it's twelve o'clock And the last bus is gone They're gonna go crazy when They hear what she's done And higher is lower And less is like more She's never felt anything like this before Before And then it was yesterday And he said 'Oh, by the way,' 'Welcome to your first party' |

You landed in my life
Like a new and brighter light That made all my past seem in the shadow I always used to believe That beauty was skin deep But I need a new word to describe you And the time that it took to take down the wall Was the time that it took for me to fall Hopelessly weak No one can take you away from me now Don't worry if they take me away No one can take you away from me now Don't matter how long we have to wait The days before you came Were really all the same A greyness I used to call freedom Endless nights out with the boys The boasting and the noise To think that I ever believed them No one can take you away from me now Don't worry if they take me away No one can take you away from me now Don't matter how long we have to wait I don't care what they think You're all I believe in I carry you here And there's something of you In everything that I love No one can take you away from me now Don't worry if they take me away No one can take you away from me now Don't matter how long we have to wait No one can take you away from me now Don't worry if they take me away |

I've got a photograph, I took a picture of you. I took your picture in front of my favourite view. You play the part so well, You look so sure and free. No one could ever tell that you belong to me And 'cos you lie so well, I've got to pin you down. Under lock and key, So you will always be in my.. In my.. My collection. If you can't speak, you can't lie. If you can't run, you can't hide. I know a place you can't die, So no one lives inside.. My collection. I want to capture you. I want to immortalise, The way you play with your hair, The way you flash your eyes. I taste the air you breath. I taste the food you eat. I keep your nails and hair, And some of the clothes you wear. If you can't speak, you can't lie. If you can't run, you can't hide. And if you're dead, you can't die, So no one lives inside.. My collection. I've got some photographs, I'd like to show them to you. Though you don't know the girls, You'll recognise the view. |

There's a hot hard hurt
Burnin' under her skin And it pricks her like thorns And it's needles and pins And it twists in her body And I know what it is And I'm paying in pain But it's the cost of the high Till the weight of the secret And the weight of the lie Makes my heart want to bust Feel the ache as time goes by Getting better and worse Getting better and worse And there's a screw that I tighten As I dream of the kiss And it twists and it cuts me And y'know what it is? It's a fragment of love From a splintering heart And it tears her apart But not as much as this So you save up your tears For the moments alone Till the splinters you gather Leave you glass-hard and numb And the same sun is shining On the old and the young On the saints and the sinners On the weak and the strong And there's a burning and freezing And a cross for a kiss So she learns to stop dreaming And you know how it is With these fragments of love And this splintering heart With the fragments And this splintering heart |

You've been so edgy and nervous I never wanted to own you I was aware of the danger Of making a bid for your favours You're such a natural stranger I made excuses and ran You're an island But I can't leave you all out at sea You're so violent with your silence You're an island I can't sleep Won't you speak to me I'm on dry land Won't you help me please In all the time that I've known you There has been something between us I don't hink it's my imagination I felt like I couldn't touch you But I had the feeling you'd love to Tell me the truth if you could do I made excuses and ran |

I was out in the cold of a North London street A cog in the hurrying world Above the walls and the gate police I caught a glimpse of a Holloway girl She was reachin' out of a window From a space just a few inches wide 'Till the hand of justice pulled her back inside One day, freedom will unlock your door So hold on, believe on Be who you were before One day, freedom will unlock your door I know how hard it can be to wait For proof you were right all along Self-destruction is easy for you We know what you're capable of But like a needle in a haystack The truth gets so disguised In a kingdom built on madness and on lies One day, freedom will unlock your door So hold on, believe on Be who you were before In deepest darkness, the faintest light looks bright So hold on, hold on It's gonna be all right You're lookin' up at a mountain Between you and the outside But there isn't a mountain in this whole world Hasn't been climbed One day, freedom will unlock your door So hold on, believe on Be who you were before In deepest darkness, the faintest light looks bright So hold on, hold on It's gonna be all right One day, freedom One day, freedom will unlock your door |

I lie awake at night
Listening to you sleeping I hear the darkness breathe And the rain against the window After all this time Cynical and jaded All the stones are diamonds All the blues are faded Everything I've been through All I've seen and heard Spent so much of my life In the spiritual third world But you came and brought the rain here Something waiting to happen Something learning to fly We can talk without talking From inside to inside I have waited to feel this For the whole of my life We took ourselves apart We talked about our faces You said you didn't like yours I said I disagree I keep the pieces separate I clutch them in my coat A jogsaw of an angel I can do when I feel low From emptiness and dryness The famine of our days Watch the heaves open Wash it all away You came and brought the rain here Something waiting to happen Something learning to fly On the edge of exploding Something wild and alive Something waiting to happen Anytime that you like I have waited to feel this For the whole of my life |

I was flicking through the channels on the tv on a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain trying to piece together conversations, trying to find out where to lay the blame But when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it there's no one here that's left to blame, blame it on me, you can blame it on me we're just sugar mice in the rain I heardd Sinatra calling me through the floorbaords where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme to the jukebox cying in the corner while the waitress is counting out the time For when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it there's no one really left to blame, blame it on me, you can blame it on me we're just sugar mice in the rain I know what I feel, know what I want I know what I am daddy took a raincheck Cos I know what I want, know what I feel I know what I need daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me, blame it on me, blame it on me Well the toughest thing that I ever did was talk to the kids on the phone, when I heard them asking questions that I knew that that you were all alone, Can't you understand that the government left me out of work, I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces saying what a jerk So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars, blame it on me, blame it on me sugar mice in the rain, your daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck (Holiday Inn, Milwaukee) [FISH and DEREK WILLIAM DICK |

A ragged man came shuffling through A puppet king on the 4th of June And butterflies from all around Settled on his paper crown A pretty sight it seemed to be An avenue of eternal peace But he said, "What is here can soon burn down..." "I'm the king of sunset town" Watch a big wheel turning round Some go up and some go down Some go thirsty some just drown "That's the law round here" Said the king of sunset town And in the night he comes to me And the square becomes a battlefield Of staring eyes that can't explain The insanity and the greater game Watch a big wheel turning round Some go up and some go down Some go thirsty some just drown "That's the law round here" Said the king of sunset town A ragged man came shuffling through The corridors of this white place And as he lay his body down I saw the scars that lined his face And injured souls came to his bed To hear the stories he would tell Of butterflies and summertimes And everyone assembled here Remembers how it used to be Before the 27th came This place will never be the same He said "I'm the king of sunset town" Watch a big wheel turning round Some go up and some go down Some go thirsty some just drown "That's the law round here" Said the king of sunset town |

Something is coming out of the rain, magic
It's happening again, like the last time I don't know how it happens, but I know what to do Coming up from the ground, I think it's you I will walk on the water You sent me the red sun and the purple sky Cirrus clouds and grins Atoms of roses The power to do anything In the chaos of colours And the fluttering of wings You carry me up And I'm free again Don't let anyone tell you This is impossible What we have here is bigger than fear I will walk on water Don't let anyone tell you This is impossible Hold on to me Believe what you see I will walk on water |

The light falls on her face Dangerous lines Dangerous colours and shapes Ferocious designs Connected and ready to play Buttoned up tight Crimson and Halloween-white She's like the girl in the movie when the Spitfire falls Like the girl in the picture that he couldn't afford She's like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward Like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors Pain and heaven Pain and heaven The meaning of life A hair falls out of place Cover my eyes Dangerous colours and shapes And when she moves Cover my eyes She like the girl on the TV with the red guitar Like the girl with the dealer at the end of the bar She's like the girl with the smile in the dream in the dark Like the girl overtaking in the open car Pain and heaven Pain and heaven |

I was flicking through the channels on the tv on a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain trying to piece together conversations, trying to find out where to lay the blame But when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it there's no one here that's left to blame, blame it on me, you can blame it on me we're just sugar mice in the rain I heardd Sinatra calling me through the floorbaords where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme to the jukebox cying in the corner while the waitress is counting out the time For when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it there's no one really left to blame, blame it on me, you can blame it on me we're just sugar mice in the rain I know what I feel, know what I want I know what I am daddy took a raincheck Cos I know what I want, know what I feel I know what I need daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me, blame it on me, blame it on me Well the toughest thing that I ever did was talk to the kids on the phone, when I heard them asking questions that I knew that that you were all alone, Can't you understand that the government left me out of work, I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces saying what a jerk So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars, blame it on me, blame it on me sugar mice in the rain, your daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck (Holiday Inn, Milwaukee) [FISH and DEREK WILLIAM DICK |

Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave Heading for the permanent holiday Heading for the winter trip Heading for the slide Heading for the dignified walk away Heading for the open road Goodbye to all that Heading for the automatic overload Standing in the open boat Standing in the swing Waiting for the ringing and the bright light Waiting to be recognised Quiet applause will do They shower you with flowers when they bury you You're holding on, you're holding on ... I. The Last of You Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you You come here scratchin' at my door Your pain and anger's in the howling dark Of every corridor I walk So tell me more about the love that you rejected Tell me more about the trust you disrespected I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one Why did you hurt the very one That you should have protected? Heading for the great escape Heading for the rave Heading for the permanent holiday Heading for the high cloud-nine Heaven number seven Heading for the long goodbye Uncurl the fingers that hold Summon the strength to let go Out of the tired world Out of the upset Into the sunset |

I have been here many times before
In a life I used to live But I never saw these streets so fresh Washed with morning rain Like the whole world has been made again I have seen this face a thousand times Every morning of my life But I never saw these eyes so clear Free of doubt and pain Like the whole world has been made again I have been here many times before In a life I used to live..... And it's all because you made me see What is false and what is true Like the inside and the outside of me Is being made again by you Like a bright new morning Like a bright new day I woke up from a deep sleep I woke up from a bad dream To a bright new morning To a bright new world...... Like the whole world has been made again |

I think I have become one of the hollow men
As I shine on the outside more these days I can feel the outside feeding on my inside Leaves a growing darkness in its place I think I have become one of the hollow men I think I have become one of the lonely Now that everybody talks to me I feel I have become one of the empty Hollow men can stop you with the twinkling of an eye Hollow men can take you without even reaching out Hollow men have got you long before you realise The poison paralyses I think I have become one of a pair of men It's a feeling I've been having for some time I look down upon myself and watch my movements A blind eye sees the fragile vandalised Watch this cold world dishing up these endless hollow men Find us anywhere you look Come and meet our friends Stand us in our silly clothes Put our batteries in Line us up like fairground ducks Watch us grin and grin See the lies behind our eyes.. See the will to win We'll buy you and we'll sell you But perhaps we'll save your skin.... Sit quietly and listen to the breeze... The hollow and the lonely listen too Sniff the air for something we can use We're tin hard and we rattle when we're shaken |

What a brave, brave girl
Never lied before Such a plain deceit Everyone would eventually know.... What a brave brave girl Never loved before Placed herself in reach.... So he tried....in his own way To find the heart of the tight-packed rose She's gone now But oh She aches He will search until he's found A way to take the days See her sadness in your face She's inside you And she's crying |

This is a photograph of who I might be Man in a uniform...bride on his arm Mum always was a fool for money and charm He's been talkin' in his sleep again Sayin' he's sorry, callin' my name Sayin' how he's so ashamed.... Alone again in the lap of luxury Since it happened I had nothin' to say It used to bother them but now it's O.K Mother cleans his dreadful house every day Scrubbing at the stains that won't go away They sent me away to the school on the park They said it would be good for me I still hear the other kids cry in the dark Alone again in the lap of luxury Is there no escape I don't remember the last time I cried I don't remember much except lies See the little girl spirallin' down This is a photograph of who she is now "One day this will all be yours" he said Tidy up your room and straight to bed Tidy up those thoughts in your head Alone again in the lap of luxury I could be anywhere right now If I only had the nerve to leave this house Maybe somewhere by the sea...... Take me somewhere, anywhere please!!! We could make a pillow of sand and sleep We could roll We could make We could see We could scream Far Father Farthest Oh daddy... You do not do anymore..... For God's sake don't pretend to be concerned....

It all begins with the bright light
The bright light and the noise The chaos of the senses and the scream of desire Touching and being touched A million loose ends to tie up Ticking of the clock and the cradle rock The colours stand still And then they move around Comin' in and out of focus, upside down Empty winter trees How space feels Love of the soft...........flowers and the sky One fine day The chaos subsides Bleeds into awareness And a lifetime of surprise The beauty of your mothers eyes The pain when you fall You drink it in and marvel at it all But you never really figure it out You get used to it. The babble of the family And the dumb TV Roar of the traffic and the thunder of jets Chemicals in the water Drugs in the food The heat of the kitchen and the beat of the system The attitude of authority The laws and the rules Hit me square in the face, first morning at school The heroes and the zeroes The first love of my life When to kiss and to kick and to keep your head down when they're choosing the sides I was never any good at it I was terrified most of the time I never got over it I got used to it. Alone in the city at seventeen With the hollow, the lonely, The drowning and the drowned I was made to feel worthless The wretched and the mean Beat me up like a weapon I can't run away from or find a way round Holdin on...... The greed and the missiles Exploding somewhere every day Hideous dark secrets under the sea and in holes in the ground The cold war's gone Those bastards'll find us another one They're here to protect you, don't you know? So get used to it Get used to it! The clash of religions The loaded prayers Information The face of starvation and the state of the nation The sense that it's useless And the fear to try Not believing the leaders, the media that feeds us Living with the big lie You get used to it Get used to it! It's OK!......I got used to it |

A hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado
A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu And you sit there and ask me to tell you the story so far This is the story so far Shuffling your memories dealing your doodles in margins You scrawl out your poems across a beermat or two And when you declare the point of grave creation They turn round and you to tell them the story so far This is the story so far And you listen with a tear in you eye To their hopes and betrayals and your only reply Is Slainte Mhath Princes in exile raising the standard Drambuie Parading their anecdotes tired from old campaigns Holding their own last orders commanding attention We sit here and listen to all of the story so far This is the story so far Take it away, take it away, take it away Take me away, take me away, take me away From the dream on the barbed wire at Flanders and Bilston Glen From a Clydeside that rusts from the tears of its broken men From the realisation that we've been left behind Is to stand like our fathers before us in the firing line Waiting on the whistle to blow We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow They promised us miracles, and the whistle still blows Broken promises but the whistle still blows Waiting on the whistle to blow We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow |

On top of the world like a flag on a mountain
Feeling so high you can feel so alone Unable to breathe at the height that you flew Staring on clouds with no view of below On top of a girl like a dream in a hotel Falling towards something out of control Unable to miss like the man in the tram Crashing your car in Amsterdam He did it without knowing, didn't feel a thing He just wrecked it and kept going The space around the stars Is something that you know A billion miles of darkness Left your feeling low The space around the stars Is something that you know Everything about you So perfectly restrained But everything inside you Bites you Everybody in the whole of the world Feels the same inside Everybody in the whole of the world Everyone is only everyone else Everybody's got to know Everybody lives and loves and laughs and cries And eats and sleeps and grows and dies Everybody in the whole of the world Is the same this time Is the same inside In the whole of the world |

Everybody knows that we live in a world where they give bad names to beautiful things
Everybody knows that we live in a world where we don't give beautiful things a second glance Heaven only knows that we live in a world where what we call beautiful is just something on sale And the leaves turn from red to brown To be trodden down To be trodden down And the leaves turn from red to brown Fall to the ground Fall to the ground We don't have to live in a world where we give bad names to beautiful things We should live in a beautiful world We should give beautiful a second glance And the leaves fall from red to brown To be trodden down Trodden down And the leaves turn green to red to brown Fall to the ground And get kicked around You strong enough to be.. Have you the courage to be.. Have you the faith to be.. Honest enough to say.. Don't have to be the same.. Don't have to be this way C'mon and sign your name You wild enough to remain beautiful? Beautiful All the leaves turn from red to brown To be trodden down Trodden down And we fall green to red to brown Fall to the ground To be kicked around You strong enough to be.. Why don't you stand up and say Give yourself a break They laugh at you anyway So why don't you stand up and be Beautiful. |

We blanked out on the Great White Way Fingers in desire's crack We'd bridge and tunnel into day Abandoned to the salt of skin Abandoned to the highway Sand running in the hourglass Heat of leather and mirages So how do we now come to be Afraid of Sunlight So how do we now come to be Afraid of Sunlight Dayglo Jesus on the dash Scorch marks on the road ahead Friendly fire in hostile waters Keep the faith, don't lose your head Don't lose your head Afraid of Sunlight So how do we now come to be Afraid of Sunlight Agave flower Sleeps beside me Drivin' on Nevada's burnin' Phoenix rising Drivin' on Into sunrise Dayglo Jesus on the dash Scorch marks on the road ahead Friendly fire in hostile waters Keep the faith, don't lose your head Don't lose your head So how do we now come to be Afraid of Sunlight So how do we now come to be Afraid Afraid of Sunlight |

Well I gave up cocaine and I gave up smack
I gave up drinking alcohol and smoking crack I gave up living on the never never But I can't give up believing that I'm going to live forever Well I gave up computer games, I gave up meat I gave up watching TV in my favorite seat I gave up wearing fur and I gave up wearing leather But I can't give up believing that I'm going to live forever Give it up, give it up Don't you know you've got to lose? The desires you were born with And your talent to abuse Give it up, give it up There's a better life to live Give it up, give it up Give it all you've got to give Well I gave up sugar and I gave up spice I gave up everything that feels alright 'Cause I feel that these addictions are a chain you have to sever I'm addicted to believing that I'm going to live forever |

Well I hear that you were looking out to hunt me down
And I guess you're used to having everything you want But you know that love can be hard as sticks and stones I tell you nothing else can be as hard as love can Well I hear you’ got my number and you want my name I'm a stream of noughts and crosses in your R.A.M But you know that love can be as hard as algebra Baby nothing else has ever been as hard as love Hard as love Well I hear that you were lookin out to take me home And I hear that you can handle it and you're not scared Have you heard about the pictures on my bedroom wall?.... Baby nothing else has ever been as hard as love Hard as love Well it makes you hungry and it makes you high It makes you suffer and it makes you cry But it's all worthwhile It makes you humble and it makes you crawl It makes you tremble and it makes you fall But it's all worthwhile It makes you desperate and it makes you dream It makes you dangerous and it makes you scream But it's all worthwhile Just lie back and smile....... (They will continue to love you even though the rest of the world hates you...) It makes you hungry and it makes you high It makes you suffer and it makes you cry It makes you panic and it makes you vain It makes you primitive.....Sick inside It makes you angry and it makes you blind It makes you guilty and it makes you lie Tied up and beaten Spat out and eaten Suicidal NOTHIN'S EVER BEEN AS HARD Well I hear that were lookin' out to change my faith You can bash me with your book of words, Hammer me down! But you know that love can be as hard as six inch nails Baby nothin else has ever been as hard as love Hard as love Hard as love |
