Greed's all gone now, there's no question
And I can see you push your hair behind your ear Regain your balance Doesn't matter where she is tonight Or with whoever she spends her time If these arms were meant to hold her They were never meant to hold her so tight For the love of that girl Greed's all gone now, panic subsides When I could run, pulling arms to love her Try to put myself on the inside Of the love of that girl Tears swell, you don't know why For the love of that girl They never fall, they can never run dry For the love of that girl Promise is never over, never questions that needed reply But she could breathe deep into my neck Let me know I'm just on the outside Of the love of that girl Tears swell, you don't know why For the love of that girl They never fall, they can never run dry For the love of that girl Greed's all gone now, there's no question And I can see you push your hair behind your ears Regain your balance Doesn't matter where she is tonight Or with whoever she spends her time If these arms were meant to hold her They were never meant to hold her so tight For the love of that girl Tears swell, you don't know why For the love of that girl They never fall, they can never run dry For the love of that girl |

See her there
She hangs from me See her face She can't let go I can't look in here eyes She's holding on She needed this to hurt me so So it shot out of me As if all of the love just got ripped out of me She said I'm such a sap, I'm such a jerk Can't I ever forget the way that we are Spend all your time with your eyes on the ground Looking for the stars So it shot out of me As if all of the love just got ripped out of me And just for that moment I saw in her eyes How it all could be It shot out of me Say this is it This is all there is You have to remember this This is all there is ( ) Spend all your time with your eyes on the ground Looking for the stars So it shot out of me As though all of the love has been ripped out of me |

Don't bring that stuff to bed
I've gotta fall with a clear head Don't tell me of those mirrors I'll show you what you want to see Pay no mind to those voices I'll show you what you want to hear Of course, it doesn't matter what you see You're beautiful to me It doesn't matter what they say I want you anyway So we live in the city Come over here No, leave on the light Beautiful things get run down There's no more to say To let you know it's alright There's a fine door that you open There's no door There's no option You knew this from the start You made a fist around your heart I don't need to know But she must want to show me It's just for yourself I can't forgive you anything It doesn't matter what you see You're beautiful to me It doesn't matter what they say I want you anyway Don't bring that stuff to bed I'll touch you here Gotta fall with a clear head Does it make you cry? Don't bring that stuff to bed Don't hide those tears Gotta fall with a clear head You know they're alright |

The first time we flew in
It was cheap and cramped The vodka running out half-way across the Atlantic Even the steward screamed and joined in it We didn't think we were going to make it Now we're stretched out in wide, furry seats Flicking through menus A walk to the bar and there's as much screw-top champagne as we can drink We're so easy Taking turns having our photos taken Sitting in front of small windows Decanters of cheap whiskey in our hands Drive into Manhattan on a date with a starlet who's just talent That's what people pay the money to see Who are we to argue? Five hours now it's been going on And still we're watching all of it Can you really believe all this? Can he really lie in bed at night and marvel at his own genius? When do you lose the ability to step back And get a sense of your own ridiculousness? They're only songs Midnight, and it's all over Now it can really make us laugh We're standing on our heads drinking sours of Crystal Schnapps Now we're unable to step back or forward Swallowing a swallow Tasting it again, it's not so unpleasant Perhaps it's an acquired taste The first time, it makes you sick Then, little by little, it becomes delicious Showbiz people Always there to be interested in what you say We are artists; we are sensitive and important We nod our heads earnestly Already half-way down the champagne On our way to leaving the place dry A $2,000 bar bill Showbiz picks up the tab And we're on our way laughing Laughing at what? Los Angeles, eight days in And our sense of irony's running pretty thin All the friends we've made It's 2 am, it's closing time at the Dresden Marty and Layton play one last sleepy "Strangers in the Night" And the last of the martinis dribble down our chins We're sitting, chasing the conservation around the table Jesus, how long have I been in this state? The limousine's still waiting outside Anything you want to do? Anywhere you want to go? We're on our way to the airport and a plane to Vegas So many nights lying in bed shaking Dreaming of pushing my daughter around the supermarket The joy of seeing all those colours and shapes reflected in her wide eyes My head leaning on the window And we're driving through the empty L.A. streets And everything seems silent and beautiful A guy's face hits the floor Police revolvers glistening in the streetlight Onto Melrose and lurching through a sea of Halloween transvestites The flight's cancelled, but it doesn't matter We turn this corner to a way that takes us wherever Up to Sunset We creep up the drive to the Shattuck The suite Belushi died in Or the one Morrison hung out of the window Oh, I'll go for Jim's I would fancy a little window-hanging myself, tonight, man Straight over to the mini-bar Open the champagne -- one sip and it's left to wake up to Anyone hungry? A team of uniformed waiters lay out an elaborate table for all us to ignore Oh, the irony How we're used to living Back in London on a cold Friday night Do you want another drink? Well, I could try Perhaps we could make it to the Atlantic 600 yards, twenty minutes later We're pushing through the waiting crowd, all fish eyes An exclusive door policy Exclusively for arseholes And tonight? Well, a nod of our heads, and we're inside Falling down the red, velvety stairs Limbs flaying, hands searching for something to steady Pick ourselves up, nothing broken Just aches in the morning No one seems to notice I find a table, champagne arrives I've been so drunk, I sit and look at you We try and talk for the first time in a long time Drunken confessions You shiver, it made you feel sick We use the rent money to pay the bill Bumping shoulders, we stumble out into Soho Slipping over the sleeping bags Shouting for taxis |

I understand everything
I understand everything Take me in your arms You knew how I feel Before I knew, I was up to my neck First time we danced So I'll tell what brought you home tonight So, you're back, what brought you home? Oh, the dancing Take me in your arms You knew how I feel Running home I couldn't wait to be inside you then You were all around me then So, is that what brought you home tonight Do you know what brought you home tonight? Was it the dancing? Before I knew, I was up to my neck The last toe leaving ground First time we danced |

Let's not make it into a big thing
Let's not get lost in this I know it is, I know we could I guess we surely would Let's pretend it's not It doesn't mean a thing Let's not blow it out of all sense As though it meant so much It's always thought about for weeks Not every time your lips meet mine, I think of her But when her hands reach out, I think of you |

She knows what happens when I'm without her
How this ring itches on my finger Does she let me go to help me remember? Remember how I came in I was desperate then Remember what I am without her And that's a desperate man Before I go, when I'm without her How fast and how long that slide I'll always take that ride It itches on my finger Helps me remember Remember how I came in I was desperate then Remember what I am without her And that's a desperate man, yeah She knows what happens when I'm without her She sees the problem She understands the irony When I'm slumped there in that seat And slobbering of how much I love her Hey, bartender Let me tell you about when I walked in I was desperate then If I could find my way back to loving her I'm a desperate man, yeah I'm a desperate man, yeah |

I could take all the craziness out of you That's what I loved you for Take away all the oranges, greens and blues That's what I loved you for Take a look at me You think it really could be that easy? I mean, take a look at me You think it really could be that easy for you? I know about guys, I know where they live And you're just the same The ones that matter fight against themselves But it's so hard to change Hey, I could love you Take all that love away from you Hey, I could love you Put you in this box I've made for two So you could take all this craziness out of me That's what you love me for Well, I don't mean to laugh But if you know all this You must be halfway there Well, like that dress tonight, you won't know as it falls from you Turn around and it's winter, darling Look in the mirror and it won't be you So you're an old, old dog You've been around the block So many times And it's the same old turns Same old feelings straight down the line Yeah, I can love you Grab that leash and drag you to a place you'd never know I know where my bones are buried May take me a while, but I'd find my way home |

I'm laying on my back
She climbs over me Pricks out her nails Runs them over my proud belly I'm a tired, hungry bear Spoiled and sleepy Her finger's on my zipper She pulls it down slowly I'm not ready Turn over, settle down again Throw her off But she's back again I've been out all night Get in at dawn And I've still got honey Dripping from my claws I'm a tired, hungry bear Spoiled and sleepy Her finger's on my zipper She pulls it down slowly I'm not ready Turn over, settle down again Throw her off But she's back again |

My my, it doesn't matter what you say
From the start, I hang off every word you say Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Does it make it all right? Are you trying to fall in love again? Now, I'm a hard man gone soft The lines were so clear then How did I ever get by? There was a time I hang off every word you say Every breath you blew, I was running to inhale Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Does it make it all right? Are you trying to fall in love again? My my, there will be other days It comes and goes, you know it never stays Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Does it make it all right? Are you trying to fall in love again? Does it make it all right? You're trying to fall in love again |

So, you wish I was your man, and I'd understand
So, you wish I was your man, and I'd understand Not a surface thing, we could meet down inside Not a surface thing, we could meet way down inside You've got a smile that never reaches your eyes You want to try to do something right So, take me home tonight Turn out the light You're just alone in the dark So, you wish I was your man, in my consciousness you ran In my eyes, you swam -- nothing's too much trouble for you So, you wish I was your man, and I'd understand So, you wish I was your man, and I'd understand you You've got a smile that never reaches your eyes You want to try to do something right So, take me home tonight Turn out the light You're just alone in the dark |

There's a city filth that lingers
All over my naked hands Deep into the weave of the clothes I wear And every step brings another Every hour adds some more Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door Are the taps running, darling? Is the air thick with steam? Can I find some place to cry these tears of shame? And every step brings another Every hour adds some more Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door There's a smell so sweet it's sickly It follows me into the room Hangs in the air like rotting perfume I never bathe in it, darling Got down on my hands and knees Got in so far, I became, well, a part of it all I've been wading through it Don't you know it's up to my neck? And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head And it's the thought of you in my mind, keeps me here. Thought I knew these streets, and how they turn Could always find my way home There's something there, I can't leave it alone The trains they run all night We could leave everything behind Just bring that dress you wore when we first met I know it's faded, darling I know it's tattered and worn In that dress I could never love you more I've been wading through it Don't you know it's up to my neck? And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head And I can suck it into my love, breathe it in |

Wake up, it's all right
I don't need to know where you've been Went for a walk, out of my sight You went astray again Wake up, it's all right You don't have the words, it's okay I make it worse, I can make it better I can chase it away And the emotion running and flapping Faster and faster, breathing hard Just for a moment, we're on a breeze Hold on, hold on tight You've gone astray again Wake up, it's alright I don't need to know where you've been Went for a walk, out of my sight You went astray again Wake up, it's alright You don't have the words, that's okay I make it worse, but I can make it better Can chase it away |

Shadow you'll bring me down But every day I love you more Shadow you'll bring me down But every day I love you more Than the day before Body of a woman, mind of a child - Shadow you shouldn't drive me wild You're only 14 years old... Shadow you seem to touch All the things that I just don't know Shadow means so much I never thought I had so far to go I need you so Hair so dark, it's black as coal Like I looked into your soul Touch that makes you lose control Shadow - she's gonna stay, won't go away Shadow you'll bring me down But every day I love you more Shadow you seem to touch Yet every day I need you more... |

Two hours twenty minutes
To one, five past Now it's laying somewhere out there in the ground And I've lost you I was cheated It was something belonged only to me And now it's gone through my own stupidity And I lost you I was cheated Two whole years spent earning your love Now it's hanging around in the clouds Well I've lost you I was cheated I'm cheated by my own vanity Whispering rumours, bullying me Well I spent it It wasn't worth it & 58; And for those who are not so beautiful as her Not giving excuses, but oh... When it's originally tossed away It can easily be reclaimed by her By her All those years spent building myself up Trying to stop my staring And start taking two steps instead of one But they're so gone now Feeling relatively good I pretend to understand When those eyes hung on mine But you know, you get it wrong in the end I pretend to know what it's about You choose explanations to soothe myself But you know, you got it wrong and it's the end & 58; Now I only laugh with people Who have no reason to care Feeling good about things that don't mean nothing I get caught by what you mean Hey I could love you when you're ever here But you know, you got it wrong and it's the end You know what I say, see what I do There's a part of me still hiding from you I miss you, there I said it again You know what I say, see what I do There's a part of me still hiding from you I miss you, there I said it again |
