If you ever feel the time to drop me a loving line maybe you should just think twice I don't wait around on your advice You tell me I can go this far, but no more Try to show me heaven and then slam the door You offer shelter at a price much too dear And your kind of love's the kind that soon disappears
So don't brag how you have changed And everything's been rearranged I thought all that was over and done But I still get the same from Each and Everyone Being kind is just a way to keep me under your thumb and I can cry because that's something we've always done you tell me I'm free of the past now and all those lies then offer me the same thing in a different guise
You tell me I can go this far, but no more Try to show me heaven and then slam the door You offer shelter at a price much too dear And your kind of love's the kind that soon disappears
I was alone thinking I was just fine, I wasn't looking for anyone to be mine I thought that love was just a fabrication, A train that wouldn't stop at my station Home, alone, that was my consignment, Solitary, confinement So when we met, I was getting around you, I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you.
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love I didn't know I was looking for love
'Cuz there you stood, and I would, Oh I wonder, could I say how I felt and not be misunderstood? A thousand stars came into my system, I never knew how much I have missed them. Slap, on the lap, of my heart you landed, I was coy, but you made me candid, And now the planets circle around you, I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you.
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love I didn't know I was looking for love
So we build from here with love the foundation In the world of tears, one conselation Now you're here and there's a full brass band Playing in me like a wonderland But if you left I would be two foot small And every tear would be a waterfall Soundless, boundless, I surround you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you.
I just didn't know.
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love I didn't know I was looking for love
I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been crying forever
and the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you they're a mirror
I don't wanna talk about it how you broke my heart if I stay here just a little bit longer if I stay here won't you listen to my heart oh my heart if I stand all alone will the shadows hide the colors of my heart blue for the tears black for the night's fears the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you they're a mirror
I don't wanna talk about it how you broke my heart if I stay here just a little bit longer if I stay here won't you listen to my heart oh my heart
I don't wanna talk about it how you broke this all heart if I stay here just a little bit longer if I stay here won't you listen to my heart oh my heart My heart all my heart
My three guardian angels say Each time you smile that way Dangers lies that way No-one will believe me For that sort of thing's beneath me But I keep repeating three words It won't last, it won't last I've been here before it will pass Don't say I'm mercenary That's unnecessary That's not the way love is Love is here where I live Love is here here where I live Desire is a child that clings And I know the trouble it brings I remind myself each minute My home is here and my love is in it But that's not the way love is Love is here where I live Love is here where I live So I keep repeating three words It won't last, it won't last I've been here before it does pass Reason is unkind But still I'll know next time That's not the way love is Love is here where I live Love is here where I live That's not the way love is Love is here where I live Love is here where I live That's not the way love is Love is here where I live That's not the way love is Love is here where I live That's not the way love is Love is here where I live
When I was ten I thought my brother was God - he'd lie in bed and turn out the light with a fishing rod. I learned the names of all his football team, aid I still remembered them when I was nineteen. Strange the things deal that I remember still - shouts from the playground when I was home and ill. My sister taught me all that she learned there; when we grow up, we said, we'd share a flat somewhere. When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street. Where I grow up there were no factories. there was a school and shops and some fields and trees, and rows of houses one by one appeared. I was born in one and lived there for eighteen years. Then when I was nineteen. I thought the Humber would be the gateway from my little world into the real world. But there is no real world - we live side by side, and sometimes collide. . When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street. It was a little world; I grew up in a little world.
Stone the crows if you've done it again, if I've told you once, told you a thousand times. Sometimes I am so convinced we're casting pearl amongst the swine.
Don't ever let me hear you say this is the life we folks must lead. We shun the limelight, shun the glare, and the circus built on a bigot's creed.
Heaven is a place I'v heard but we haven't been there yet, I fear. We may have opened pearly gates but sometimes hell stills steals in here.
Don't ever let me hear you say this is the life we folks must lead. Do you think silver turns our locks? What gold do you think paves our streets?
You say we're in a different world now, where money and love go hand in hand. But can't you see we share this town, so why should we fight on our native land? Can't you see we share this town, so why on earth should we tear it down?
When the light fades on a long bad day, I sometimes weaken. Then I turn to see you've been waiting for me, I know I'm not beaten. 'Cause you lift me up, you do.
Coming home sometimes I catch the headlines. It's been raining since Saturday night. And the trains run late, I'm stuck at Notting Hill Gate. But you'll make it alright. 'Cause you lift me up (you make it alright), you do.
Such a little thing, our love won't make the world alright, but love makes sense of life and that's enough, at least tonight.
So late at night maybe, when you call me baby, the day will just fall away. 'Cause you lift me up, you do.
Let me tell you about this torch I carry It's not much of a career And it won't make my fortune I fear But it stays alight and won't be buried It's brighter year-by-year And someday it will surely disappear
When it does I'll know I've laid to rest The ghost of your unhappiness That flits around from room to room A widow on a honeymoon A shadow on a harvest moon
So put away this torch you carry For it's doing you no good And surely you know by now that you should And come the day you die or marry Will you be understood When you say that you wanted but never could
Turn your back and lay to rest The ghost of your unhappiness That flits around from room to room A widow on a honey moon A shadow on a harvest moon
I write these words to make them true, "I've drowned my torch and so should you."
don't talk to me in that familiar way when the keys are in my hand don't say that everything is here to stay and I must try to understand when I'm trying not to look into your eyes trying not to listen to your lies trying just to keep hold of myself oh but it's hard when you leave me on the shelf
you say that I set a path for you to follow and I've already given in but I only meant for you to taste not swallow where I end is where you must begibn so try not to look into their eyes try not to listen to their lies try just to keep hold of yourself oh I know it's hard when they leave you on their shelf
she's such a sweet girl free of the taints of this world think that's a compliment don't be so full of sentiment why you worship sweetness what virtue's there in weakness being pushed about is nothing much to shout about I know
All this short summer night long I've been waiting for you Just to give me a sign that you feel this way too
There are people on the streets for the weekend But I don't hear them
There are others I could meet for the weekend But I don't see them
Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city
I have a dream, of an inky blue sea You could give up your job and go there with me
I know we'd miss the football and the dancing There's always something
And you'd worry that the people here'd be talking But that's nothing
Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city
In the morning I sit on the train and wonder If I can go through all this again you know I Feel like staying till the end of the line this time... This time, this time, this time
Oh yeah. uh huh.
We come to fight and dream in this fairground of a town
Through the sweet and sickly streets from the airless undergrounds While the planes fly out of Heathrow taking people late at night To where the fields are like Australia in the early morning light
Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city
Talk to me like the sea In the morning I sit on the train
Talk to me like the sea Hey hey hey
Talk to me like the sea In the morning I sit on the train
Talk to me like the sea Oh oh yeah
Talk to me like the sea Oh yeah, I sit on the train.
So here we are in Italy With a sun hat and a dictionary. The air is warm, the sky is bright, Your arms are brown you're sleeping well at night. So why does England call? The hedgerows and the townhalls. After all, there'll soon be nothing left at all.
If we were born outside of place and time, To make our choice, well this would be mine. To live and die under a sun that shines. But something pulls, something I can't define Tells me England calls, whatever she's done wrong. Always calls, "This is where you belong." And I'm lonesome for a place I know.
Oh but Florence you tempt me (here) to stay, Amidst your hills to while my years away. But your roots in soil lie, mine in paving stone. And I hate what it's become, but in my bones I'm lonesome for a place I know. Why does England call?
Leaving at dawn to beat the traffic, do you remember that too? Curled asleep on the back seat, do you remember that too? The soundless dark, the empty road, do you remember that too? And that child asleep, only eight years old, do you recognise as you?
June, July, September, stretched ahead and out of view. The whole world seemed a safe place, and never ending too. But it was never as simple as you thought, there were just things you never knew, and up ahead your parents bore the weight of all their worries and yours too.
Windows down on the coast road, wanting to be first to see the sea. The whole world seemed a safe place, temporarily. But it was never as simple as you thought, and you found out as you grew, that up ahead your parents had borne the weight of all their worries and yours too. All their worries and yours too.
and still he lies awake at night restless while every silence screams and still she sleep turned to the wall he fears the onslaught of his dream
touches her back but she doesn't stir then round her hand his finger close feeling the ring that cost more than the car all of those questions that never arose
and still she lies awake at night silently stares at the bedroom wall feeling his hand dare to touch her back it's been a month since ha started to paint the hall
and brightly burns the landing light the baby's screaming down the hall she shuts her eyes and she shuts her ears she's had up to here because it's not his baby after all
Love, love is strange Many people take it for a game Once you've had it you're in an awful fix 'Cause after you've had it you never wanna quit A lot of people, they don't understand They think lovin' is money in their hand Your sweet lovin' is better than a kiss When you leave me those kisses I will miss
Love, oh woh, love is strange Many people, oh woh, take it for a game Once you've had it, oh woh, you're in an awful fix 'Cause after you've had it, oh woh, you never wanna quit A lot of people, woh woh, they don't understand They think lovin', oh woh, is money in their hand Your sweet lovin', oh woh, is better than a kiss When you leave me, oh woh, those kisses I will miss When you leave me, oh woh, those kisses I will miss Those kisses I will miss, those kisses I will miss Those kisses I will miss
Apron strings hanging so empty, crazy things my body tells me, I want someone to tie to my apron strings.
Apron strings waiting for you, pretty things that I could call you, I want someone to tie to my lonely apron strings.
Your baby looks just like you when you were young, and he looks at me with eyes that shine and I wish that he were mine, then I go home to my apron strings, cold and lonely, for time brings thoughts that only will be quiet when someone clings to my apron strings.
And I'll be perfect in my own way when you cry I will be there, I'll sing to you and comb your hair, all your troubles I will share.
For apron strings can be used for other things than what they're meant for, and you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings, you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings.

Lying in bed on a weekday night Listening to the title fight From a town the radio said was Atlantic City The branches brush the windows The hour is early evening And Frankie's beating hell out of the champion
Frankie is the one, you know Frankie is the boy I hope my sister's listening from her place in Illinois
For though the world is turning darkly all the stars are out tonight There are dreams still shining, redefining all that makes us feel alright
Lying in bed in the afternoon listening to Frankie Lymon tunes While the people make their way home from the dusty city The breezes blow the curtains the hour is early evening and Frankie's singing songs just like a champion
Frankie was the one, you know
Frankie was the boy My sister shook his hand the night he played at the Savoy
And though the world is turning darkly all the stars are out tonight There are dreams still shining, redefining all that makes us feel alright
Frankie is the one, you know Frankie is the boy Frankie bears the weight of all our sorrow and our joy
For though the world is turning darkly all the stars are out tonight There are dreams still shining, redefining all that makes us feel alright I feel alright

Still can't believe that you two are now just friends You've got no lover and he's free at weekends I know he said when you first met That you must always play the hand you get But you're two years on a losing streak Get back together Get back together It's something you could do next week Get back together Get back together Why don't you get back Try to get back together? Matches are not made in heaven They're made right here on earth He searched the starry skies Ended up in your arms You taught him all he knows Just think what you could have been Another Arthur and Marilyn Now you're two years on a losing streak Get back together Get back together It's something you could do next week Get back together Get back together Why don't you get back Try to get back together? And then you say that you got bored How can you say that you got bored? Some people search their whole lives through And never find what was shown to you Still can't believe that you two are just friends You've got no lover and he's at loose ends Hey girl listen to what I say Don't let that boy just walk away Won't you get back Try to get back together?
if I say I'll always stay by your side stupid things say some night can you tell me I am wrong till I cry tell me do you have the right if I say that seas could never sweep me overboard and far away do you still say you wouldn't try to keep me if I lost the will to stay
you won't promise this will last much longer than the time it takes to stay you excuse is that my heart's much stronger and some of you love has been drained away
I can't bear it when the tears fill your eyes And I've said too much once more don't be angry now you must realise my only fear's of losing something I adore
I still haven't got over it even now I want to spend huge amounts of time on my own I don't want to cause any serious damage I want to make sure that I can manage because I'm not really in your head I'm not really in your head
And I see love and disaffection and the clouds build up and won't pass over This is my road to my redemption And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
I still haven't got over it even now I want to spend huge amounds of time in my room And I'm not coming out until I feel ready not running out for a while my heart's unsteady and I'm not really in your head I'm not really in your head
When you sky falls to minus zero well some things must dissappear Oh this is my road to my redemption
And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway The names may have been changed but the faces are the same The names may have been changed but as people we're not the same
And I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not really in your head
And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway Yeah, my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
You kissed my head as you stood in the door And then you said: "don't want to see you no more" All I could say as you walked out on me Was how I hoped you'd remembered your key Took one last look Took the phone of the hook I must confess I agree
All o those days when I went through a phase Of missing the love that you bore In retrospect there's something I can't neglect I was missing a love but not yours
The love that you bore that thing that I once adored Was no gift that you gave me each time Thinking again, what a fool I was then It was a trophy of yours and a burden of mine
Don't say one thing one day, then something else the next day. I'm trying to keep up with you It's hard enough when you speak clearly, but when you're confused, it's like a goods train running through these rooms.
And I'm reading more into your words than you ahve put into them, and that's my problem, but you tied these knots, now you undo them. you undo them. Oh think before you speak, my darling.
Cause with your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life. With your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life.
We all walk through this world alone, we keep ourselves untouched, unknown. You look up to the sky above you, read this there I love you. Oh it's written there, you know I love you, love you, love you, love you.
With your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life. With your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life.
And when you're down, you bring me down too, and babe that's something I would not do. I know it's hard, yeah I know it's hard, and babe that's something I don't disregard. I said, I don't disregard.
With your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life With your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life.
With your troubled mind, you know I love you, love you, love you, love you. With your troubled mind, you know I love you, love you, love you, love you. With your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life.
Me and Bobby D don't get along that easily. You told the world, "Be free, love life". Tell me, is it true you beat your wife? You see, me and Bobby D don't get along that easily. You told the world, "Skip rules fave fun". Knocked her from here to kingdom come? How many girls have you had today? And how many bottles have you downed today? And while you're on the skids, who's minding the kids?
Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss, don't worry your pretty head about this.
Me and Saint Jack K never had too much to say. It's easy driving with your feet, with some good ol' girl in the passenger seat watching the road all day, "Oh honey, what funny things you do say." But while you're out of your head who's making the bed?
Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss, don't worry your pretty head about this. Go to sleep Saint Jack K, don't worry your tiny head today
Me and old Bobby D don't get along that famously A saviour and a seer? Maybe, but he never meant that much to me. Sure, I'd love a wild life, but every wild man needs a mother or wife. The seven seas you roam and who's waiting at home?
O but still I'll steal to you at night Too selfish by half Too ugly by far But when your songs have been sung, come to me Rumours are rife And winter blows cold Reminds me of such wretched times And yet all the same I will never deign To think ill of you When all's well My love is like cathedral bells
Amongst all the dross The lies and the grief There are so many things you just wouldn't believe But amongst all the dross The lies and the grief When all's well My love is like cathedral bells
Great mistakes are made when love gets lonely far from home. Beds are empty, nights are long, and you miss him bad when you're on your own. That's how I let my fate begin, threw back the sheets, let someone in, and thought that love would understand, but nothing ever goes as planned and now my baby don't love me any more, and I'm all done talking. My baby just walked up to the door and kept right on walking.
Now I would walk the earth and back again just to change his mind, but I'm so compromised I cannot say he's being unkind. Take me back to fields and woods, when we first met and love was good. It's that that really breaks his heart -- a memory of how you start, and now my baby don't love me any more and I'm all done hoping. My baby just walked out of the door and theh door's still open.
Love has made mistakes before, it picks itself up off the floor. For most of us that's how we live, but my love never could forive and now my baby don't love me any more and I'm all done talking. My baby just walked up to the door and kept right on walking.
I met your boyfriend on St. Martin's Lane and he said "Fancy running into you again" We talked a minute or so then he turned to go and I walked into the crowd again
And the morning was a different place in every passerby I saw your face Love leaves a lonely ghost with one thought uppermost is this the case in every case
Am I walking to you Am I walking to you In everything I do am I just walking to you
It was seven years ago to the day you rang my house and we met halfway We walked round Leicester Square and sat through 'Being There' and every moment I replay
And I was desperate for love to be pure though what that meant, I never ws sure You spent your time on me I took it willingly and I made you trust in litterature
Am I walking to you Am I walking to you In everything I do am I just walking to you I just don't know what to do
Hush your mouth now honey mine Have you been waiting all this time To so loudly disagree Kick the feet from under me Did you come here to shoot me down Bury my on my own home ground
Hold your tongue now mother mine For you've held it all this time And now's no time to shout and swear That you despise the things I care about For your territory Will always be miles and miles from me
Stop my mouth with kisses dear For ever they will keep me here And these drunken blasphemies Must never make us enemies For we'll have to meet once more Sober and as strongly BOUND as before
I never thought I'd grow up so fast so far. To know yourself is to let yourself be loved.
And I want to be addicted I want to be secure I want to wake up after the night before but do you ever get me?
Do you ever get me?
I'll press your hand against my face weaken my resistance. I'll pull the sheets over our heads let the broken sky break above our heads.
And I want to be addicted I want to be secure, I want to wake up after the night before, but do you get me?
Do you ever get me?
Shower me with affection and I'll return in kind. I have no hidden motive, I am blind.
I'm a stone inside a box, I'm a spring inside a clock, you can wear me on your wrist and I'll tell you things ten thousand times, but do you ever get me? Do you ever get me
Narrow streets breed narrow minds and Care for king but not for kind It's a short hop to a long weekend when every move you apreehend You'll never find room to find your feet to walk out of this avenue Your pockets are lined with promises when did you promise ever pay for shoes?
Counting coal trucks by the line and raise your glasses one more time 'Cause Billy has gone off to war And God knows what he's fighting for But wartime will make him a man Work that no one see, if you can A hero's grave is 6 feet deep not Room enough for all his plans.
She can scrub the step but if he'll never gleam If he did she'd smash the dream And they've held the world too long But dreams are what you wake up from
Father was a fighter too The only way to jump the queue Boxing clever, times were tough But will that ever be enough? You'd never find room to find his feet To walk out of these avenues Their pockets are lined with promises When did they promise ever pay for shoes? When did they promise ever pay for shoes?
Well it's not for me to say, but I can't see what you see in him anyway But such righteousness in me is not a nice thing to display, and who am I for christsakes anyway to judge a life this way when my own's in disarray? I watch Saturday kid's TV with the sound turned down I leave food on the eiderdown All my thoughts pushed underground Maybe you're happy - everyone says you are You drive around on Two Star, you leave your life ajar, and God knows you deserve it. Bad luck follows everyone. So go on, and stop listening to me Stop listening to me. And don't ask me how I feel don't ask me how I feel So it's not for me to say because I change my life from day to day, and when I look at you I only see bits of myself anyway So go on, and stop listening to me Stop listening to me And don't ask me what to say, or to judge a life this way When my own's in disarray
Not for the first time I look back on all those years. Not for the last time names will ring in my ears. When there was just a gang of us, storming the town by train and bus. A moment of thought this heart sends to old friends. Not for the first time I look back on my first love. Unable to speak or think or move, hand in glove. But what of it now and where is (s)he, (s)he who once meant so much to me? Because we are not, I can't pretend, now old friends.
I was told love should hold old friends. I was told love should hold old friends. But when you leave you will close the door behind you don't we always?and time won't make amends to old friends.
Standing here with my arm around you, life's moved on, and all its borderlines are being redrawn. The winter has come, the roads are white. Everyone's home late tonight. May we stay or will it depend, as old friends? In the end, still old friends?
You're here, but what if you weren't What would have happened to me That candle, unburnt, is history One thing I guess this place would be a mess For my standards at best are undemanding And that takes some understanding
Still here, but what if we weren't Where'd you think I would be (where would I be) For love I have learned depends on geography Fortune found us when all around us Half the couples we knew were disbanding And that needs your understanding
And do you know even when we disagree And freedom holds out a hand to me You know I would nver want to be without your company And I mean that totally
We have reached an understanding Understanding, understanding.
Who would be born into a mans's man's man's world? But what do children care For grown ups' despair A house can hold both boy and girl
But every mother's son grows up And daughters imitate And the burden of careworn world Is his to bear --Hers to wait
As the open world of a tomboy girl Closes on a growing wife From a childhood clear Through teenage years That always seem to be more Trouble than strife.
From the hot dark of the night To the cold light of day From the cradle to wife to grave Unless I stand in the way
As the open world of a tomboy girl Closes in with growing strife For my own sake I'll comfort take To know I'd never make a wife As the open world of a tomboy girl Closes in with growing strife For my own sake I'll comfort take In the knowledge that I'd never make a wife
You hear them talk of women's way with hatred And it cuts me like a knife Poor men, so much to bear The children and the trouble and strife
The open world of a tomboy girl Is the best of life From a childhood clear You end up here In trouble and strife
Now we're in twin cities, where the Mississippi rises and then falls. One is Minneapolis, the other though less famous, is St. Paul. There are stray dogs on the highway and the local farmers moan about lack of rain. When the winds blew last winter I'd swear England had another hurricane.
And we are twin cities and we are that river. From the standing still, we will be delivered. The last time in new york was with Mandela and Madonna and the Mets. For icons of an era, well, that's about as famous as it gets.
I've seen cities full of ticker tape and cotton trains through Utah disappearing out of sight. And now I'm standing in a city that's as pretty as an ocean in the night. And we are twin cities and we are that ocean. from the standing still, we are set in motion. And no one calls me up to say, "how long are you going to be away?"
No one calls me up to say, "don't let that life lead you astray" They were rioting in Detroit on the night the pistons won it back to back. I was out of there the next day and I only had just two bags to pack. And we are twin cities and we are one river.
From the standing still, we will be delivered. and we are twin cities and we are one ocean. From the standing still, we are set in motion.
Look at you now you've disenchanted can't believe how things can change Take a little out of life and things get strange And now you find the wishes you were granted things you thought were in your hands have slipped away How much can you withstand
The wasted time the money spent a sign that reads 'For Sale or Rent' And everything is at a standstill and where's someone who'll be on hand till you're no longer disenchanted thinking everything is wrong
You know you're not the only one to wait so long. I wonder, can you try again Are you that strong more Everything But The Girl
Baby come home, I miss the sound of the door Your step on the stair's not there to wake me no more And every day's like Christmas Day without you It's cold and there's nothing to do
And it's mighty quiet here now that you're gone I've been behaving myself for too long 'Cause I don't like sleeping or painting the town on my own So please come on home
Baby, what's keeping you all this time You're wasting your days out there in the sunshine And who can I turn to if you believe still That England don't love you and she never will
For it's mighty quiet here now that you're gone And I've been behaving myself for too long I don't like sleeping Or watching TV on my own So please come on home
A summer evening I walk past the window Baby's crying; Someone's cooking dinner There's laughter on the TV Someone's learning the violin. How at home, it heals At times like this, I feel that
CHORUS: I would like to live like anybody else In one place And I could be happy and fulfilled In one place
So I get the map out And draw a line of where we've been It goes thru sea and sky Twenty-five planes this year And it's only July This is not some Bible, like "On The Road" It's just a song about coming home And whether
CHORUS: I would like to live like anybody else In one place And I could be happy and fulfilled In one place
And you know that I have found That I'm happiest weaving from town to town And you know Bruce said we should keep moving 'round Maybe we all get too tied down, I don't know Hell, I don't know I'm happy to be home (Still alive) Happy to be home
In the end, if you take care You can be happy or unhappy anywhere
CHORUS: And I think we maybe all rely too much On one place I know I never would deny the need For one place
So I get the map out (get the map out) Yeah I get the map out (get the map out) C'mon, get the map out (get the map out) Get the map out (get the map out)
You always loved the sad songs, like you loved it when I lost, so I don't tell you when I'm happy because it only makes you cross. And I thought as I was leaving, and it strkes me every time, politics aside we always, I thought we always got on fine.
Crystal clear were my intentions, but you didn't want to know, when there's no point in staying, you just go.
And I'll be driving through provincial towns and places sweetly named, and I'll be looking for a centre, for a sense of live contained. But them I'm out the other side and through suburban avenues and I realise it never was there. Well, that's how I feel about you.
Crystal clear were my intentions, but you didn't want to know, when there's no point in staying you just go.

I've never been skating on a frozen river Joni and Jane make it sound so cool Sometimes I can get so down it seems Nothing much is gonna turn me around
They could freeze the brook outside my home But it's only small, not like the Hudson Where I'd be clean away, the only one Down through winter trees, on a smooth run on a frozen river
But look at me now I'm getting to you And all afternoon you have been so bright "No use turning good into bad" At times like this you are always right
And the snowdrops are through, I never knew And my oldest jokes still have you reeling I'll put the troubles I find to the back of my mind Sometimes my love has the craziest feeling like a frozen river
Half the world will sleep alone tonight Friends of mine as well Half the world are on their own tonight Friends of mine as well
There's a river below this bright night sky So full of stars, it's the best for ages Where I stand in the lane, having shut off the car Just hearing your wonder like a frozen river
Now and then Do you wash your hands of me again? Wish me anywhere but home Drunk and on the end of your phone
From time to time Do you guess what's really on my mind? Guess that "How you keeping now?" Means "Where are you sleeping now"
But of course it's not polite To ask you where you spent last night And if I did you might reply That I have no right And anyway I'm fine Glad that you're no longer mine If I should tell a lie I'll cross my heart and hope to die
You'd be appalled If you knew what I was doing When you called Yes, I can see I'm blundering Always end up wondering
Will it ever be alright To ask you where you spent last night And can it be polite The way we never write, Of course I don't have the time, And anyway I'm fine If I should tell a lie I'll cross my hear and hope to die

Sorrow is a lonely road Where the rain like your tears Beats heavy on the roof above your head Tomorrow is a lovers' town That's been beaten down And the hands of winter holds the life we've led
Instead of drowning in despair For I find small comfort in a bottle When we're apart Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart
I used to drive all night for you While the children were asleep And as the dawn broke on your room Back into my house I'd creep Where my husband slept alone Of course he must have known But we always hide the truth For fear of losing what we own
So don't forget the words that we choose And constantly misuse They were written down every time we were apart Don't let your teardrops rust your shining heart
I know your part'll go fine. Fly down to Mexico. Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am, The only living boy in New York.
I get the news I need on the weather report. I can gather all the news I need on the weather report. Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile. Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da here I am The only living boy in New York
Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where And we don't know where Ah... Here I am
Tom, get your plane right on time. I know you've been eager to fly now. Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da Like it shines on me The only living boy in New York The only living boy in New York
Ah... Here I am Ah... Here I am Ah... Here I am Here I am
Come Hell or high water You just do as you please, Waste your time when you oughta Be charming the birds from the trees. A voice straight from heaven So you like to believe And who cares if its only Your poor self you deceive. You look in the mirror and what do you see? Too much care and scheming, too little beauties Come Hell or High water, you never will be A goddess or a genius, a drunkard at 23 And all that you yearn for, is attention I guess Come Hell or high water you deserve nothing less. Come Hell or high water you will stray off the rails and I won't try to change you for god knows I would fail and its to the angels that each day you pray Come hell or high water I know you will meet them someday
