I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties "Dress in white" one said, with quotations From someone's wife, a famous writer In the nineteen-twenties When you're young you find inspiration In anyone who's ever gone And opened up a closing door She said: "We were never feeling bored 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought: 'Make amends' And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end" When I went I left from the station With a haversack and some trepidation Someone said: "If you're not careful You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for In the nineteen-seventies" But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had scored I'd bolted through a closing door I would never find myself feeling bored 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends" And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend Now I sit with different faces In rented rooms and foreign places All the people I was kissing Some are here and some are missing In the nineteen-nineties I never dreamt that I would get to be The creature that I always meant to be But I thought in spite of dreams You'd be sitting somewhere here with me 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends" And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend And we were never being boring We were never being bored 'Cause we were never being boring We were never being bored |

(Everybody E-E-Everybody
Everybody E-E-Everybody Everybody E-E-Everybody Everybody jump to attention...) Each morning after Sunblest Feel the benefit, mental arithmetic I waited by the staffroom In time for benediction Living a law just short of delusion When we fall in love there's confusion This must be the place I waited years to leave To our voices nobody's listening We shiver in the rain by the touchline Then a coach ride to the station "My lord, the carriage awaiteth!" Living a law just short of delusion When we fall in love there's confusion This must be the place I waited years to leave This must be the place I waited years to leave And how How long? I'm listening to the words I thought I'd never hear again A litany of saints and other ordinary men Kneeling on the parquet Whatever has gone wrong? The fear and feeling hopelessness I don't want to belong I dreamt I was back in uniform And a candidate for examination History, someone had blundered And a voice rapped "knuckle under!" Living a law just short of delusion When we fall in love there's confusion This must be the place I waited years to leave This must be the place I waited years to leave And how And how How long? (Trebuet nash narod odnogo) <i>[Our people demand only...]</i> |

You know it hurts me when you lie
Sometimes it even makes me cry 'Cause I'm so in love with you If you don't believe what I have said Take a look, my eyes are red 'Cause I'm so in love with you But all those sleepless night in bed When you've been out somewhere instead I wonder if you care and cannot bear the proof It hurts too much to face the truth To face the truth A lawyer with a case to prove Would sift the evidence, then move It's the only thing to do So why then can't I face the facts? Sift this evidence that backs I am so in love with you But all the nights when you have said You must be somewhere else instead I wonder where you go, but daren't expose the proof It hurts too much to face the truth To face the truth To face the truth You are the only one, the only one You know it hurts me when you lie Sometimes it even makes me cry 'Cause I'm so in love with you If you don't believe what I have said Take a look, my eyes are red 'Cause I'm so in love with you But all the nights you don't show up I know it's time I should grow up I ask you if you care, you stand and stare aloof It hurts too much to face the truth To face the truth To face the truth |

You live upon a stage, and everyone's agreed
You're the brightest hope by far that anyone can see So when you take the limelight you can guarantee You're gaining fame and claiming credibility Tell me baby are you gonna get high as a kite? Tell me baby are you gonna let it happen every night How can you expect to be taken seriously?

Tell me baby are you gonna take any of the blame? How can you expect to be taken seriously? How can you expect to be taken seriously? You live within the headlines, so everyone can see You're supporting every new cause and meeting royalty You're another major artist on a higher plane Do you think they'll put you in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame? Tell me baby how you generate longevity Tell me baby how you really hate publicity How can you expect to be taken seriously? How can you expect to be taken seriously? Seriously Seriously How can you expect to be taken seriously? How can you expect to be taken seriously? |

It's only the wind blowing litter all around
Just a little wind and the trees are falling down There's nobody crying, that was yesterday Inside we're all smiling, everything's okay It's only the wind blowing cans along the street Someone's dustbin lid playing havoc with the peace There's nobody hiding behind a locked door And no one's been lying, 'cause we don't lie any more It's only the wind, how it takes you by surprise Suddenly begins, then before you know it dies My hands are not shaking, I don't touch a drop You must be mistaken, I know when to stop When life is karma, I have no doubt No angry drama, a storm blows itself out It's only the wind, they say it's getting worse The trouble that it brings haunts us like a curse My nerves are all jangled, but I'm pulling through I hope I can handle what I have to do When life is karma, I have no doubt No angry drama, a storm blows itself out A storm blows itself out... I'm sorry |

So much confusion When autumn comes around
What to do about October How to smile behind a frown? It's hard to settle down It's hard to settle down It's so bemusing Will they cancel the parade? We marched each October Now they say we were never even saved We must be very brave Shall I rewrite or revise My October symphony? Or as an indication Change the dedication From revolution to revelation? So we're all drinking As leaves fall to the ground Because we've been thinking How October's let us down Then and now Shall we remember December instead? Or worry about February? Mourn our war-torn dead Never seeing red? Shall I rewrite or revise My October symphony? Or as an indication Change the dedication From revolution to revelation? |

I doublecross you And you get mysterious mail I've tried hard not to shock you It's hard not to with the things I could say Tell me why don't we try Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?

A nervous boy in several ways
I never knew the world could operate this way I was nervous when we stopped to speak And the world came crashing around my feet We don't talk of love We're much too shy But nervously we wonder when and why A nervous boy, in spite of which I never thought I could tremble as much as this Your flashing eyes and sudden smiles Are never quite at ease, and neither am I Oh, we'll talk about it all some night But nervously we never get it Right From the start I approved of you Right from the moment you turned to face me A nervous boy from another town With a nervous laugh and a concentrated frown I spoke too fast with watchful eyes Of a recent past and some nostalgic surprise We don't talk of love We're much too shy But nervously we wonder when and Smile Knowing why I approved of you Right from the moment you turned to face me A nervous boy |

Floods of tears and doors slamming
Stamping feet across the landing Because of your obligation To stay home and fight Sitting down to a composition Test the limits of your inhibition If the phone hasn't rung by midnight It's over tonight If someone tried, you'd realize It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world Piles of toast and broken promises Among the books and pens and reading glasses It seems there's no escape from the humdrum It's over and done If someone tried, you'd realize It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world If someone cried, you'd sympathize It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world At midnight in desperation Imagine total teenage destruction The Prophets all predicted extinction The Virgin spoke in apparitions And if it all came to pass now You feel we'd all deserve it somehow But if someone tried (you'd realize) You'd realize (and sympathize) It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world If someone cried (you'd sympathize) You'd sympathize (and realize) It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world It's not the end |

At dead of night, when strangers roam
The streets in search of anyone who'll take them home I lie alone, the clock strikes three And anyone who wanted to could contact me At dead of night, 'till break of day Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake It's much too late Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try to keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy I never knew time pass so slow I wish I'd never met you, or that I could bear to let you go At dead of night, 'till break of day Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake It's much too late Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try to keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try to keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy I never knew 'til I met you |

Are you feeling alright?

It seems to me there's something serious beginning
A new approach found to the meaning of life Deny that happiness is open as an option And disappointment disappears over night Say that love is an impossible dream Face the facts, that's what it's always been Relax, what you see is what you've seen What you get, is a new philosophy (That's what you got, that's what you get) (That's what you got, that's what you get) Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't Meanwhile your life is still directed as a drama With realism on the sparsest of sets Every performance tends to reach the same conclusion No happy endings but a message to depress Saying life is an impossible scheme That's the point of this philosophy Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't But if is wasn't, and isn't were You can't be sure, but you might find ecstasy (Oh no) Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning (get get get) It shows the world that you've got substance and depth You know, life is an impossible scheme And love an imperceptible dream (That's what you got, that's what you get) (That's what you got, that's what you get) Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't Miserable |

Whisper 'round the town,
Cause you're my friend and that's the end For you're the only one in town Who they will beg to hang around with You're so beautiful and calm But with an attitude that says: "Hands-off, you're just not good enough" Every boy and man feeling lonely Can't understand why you'd be with me Furthermore, we laugh and we draw More attention everyday, so they say: (Girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend, oh no, (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) You better make her happy (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend, oh no, (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) You better make her happy Well, that says maybe, in a way, but it's okay We are touching, while they stare in front of us They draw away, as if to say: "Who are these people anyway? How dare they confront us?" Every boy and man feeling lonely Can't understand why you'd be with me Furthermore, we laugh and we draw More attention everyday, so they say: (Girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend, oh no, (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) You better make her happy (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend, oh no, Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) You better make her happy Oh no, no no Oh no, no no (Girlfriend Oh oh oh Girlfriend Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend, oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) I'd rather die, than satisfy their curiosity I'm kind of shy and dry, and verging on ugly They wonder what that I have got, that they have not They'll never understand that none of that matters Every boy and man feeling lonely Can't understand why you'd be with me Furthermore, we laugh and we draw More attention everyday, so they say: (Girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend, oh no, (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) You better make her happy (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend, oh no, (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) You better make her happy (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend Oh oh oh Girlfriend Oh oh oh Girlfriend) Bet she's not your, bet she's not your, Bet she's not your,bet she's not your, (Oh oh oh Girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend, oh no (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) You better make her happy (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend (Oh, oh, oh Girlfriend) You better make her happy Bet she's not your girlfriend |

I want to run, I want to hide
I want to break down the walls that hold me inside I want to reach out, and touch the flame Where the streets have no name I want to feel the sun on my face I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace I want to take shelter from poison rain Where the streets have no name We're still building, then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there I go there with you Where the streets have no name Can't take my eyes off of you I love you, baby, and if it's quite alright I need you, baby, to warm a lonely night So let me love you, baby Let me love you The city's aflood, our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust I'll show you a place, high on a desert plain Where the streets have no name We're still building, then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there It's all I can do Where the streets have no name I can't take my eyes off of you Love you, baby, let me love you Where the streets have no name |

Well I don't know why I was dreaming about you
But I do know that I was dancing without you Then you smiled, and I was lost You fall in love, why count the cost? All I gave to you All you made me do I react when I hear people ask [Chorus] Was it worth it? Yes it's worth living for Was it worth it? Yes it's worth giving more If I'd had my way this would have happened much sooner But until that day it was only a rumour All at once you changed my life And led me in to paradise Where I had to do What I wanted to I react when I hear people ask [Chorus] I reserve the right to live My life this way, and I don't give A damn when I hear people say I'll pay the price that others pay Because it's worth it Yes it's worth living for Because it's worth it Yes it's worth living for All I gave to you All you made me do I react when I hear people ask [Chorus] And I reserve (what?) The right to live (where?) My life this way (how?) I couldn't give A damn when I (what?) Hear people say (who?) I'll pay the price That others pay [Chorus] I don't know why I never thought I'd fall in love I don't know why I don't know why I never thought I'd fall in love I don't know why I don't know why ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By TENNANT/LOWE <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |
