Bound in a nutshell
Lost in our weary eyes We're tumbledown people Leading our tumbledon lives But a breath of life Could make our engines roar We're far from power, north of desire High and dry, hoping you'll send us From your mouth instead of lies A kiss of life, for sleeping giants Broken, bound, and battered Freezing on picket lines A colder frost can shatter And chain us for all our lives But a breath of life Can make our engines roar We're far from power, north of desire Tired and bound by all those lies As step by step, open tired eyes A kiss of life, for sleeping giants They spin our world from cruel to kind And make our futures a downward slide The strong get strong, and still want more But day by day giants thaw Tomorrow must be calling with a open door There's no-one left to start our revolution anymore We need some flames to burn down every door We're far from power, north of desire High and dry, hoping you'll send us From your mouth instead of lies A kiss of life, for sleeping giants We're far from power, north of desire Tired and bound by all those lies As step by step, open tired eyes A kiss of life, for sleeping giants |

Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
Perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine As daydreams slide to colour from shadow Picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes And I love you Just lying smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple everytime Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learnt to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple everytime Dreams of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons Where feelings not reasons, can make you decide As leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens As colder nights harden, their moonlit delights And I love you Just lying smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple everytime Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learnt to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple everytime Look at me with starry eyes Push me up to starry skies There's stardust in my head Pure and simple everytime Fresh and deep as oceans new Shiver at the sight of you I'll sing a softer tune Pure and simple over you If love's the truth then look no lies And let me swim around your eyes I've found a place I'll never leave Shut my mouth and just believe Love is the truth I realize Not a stream of pretty lies To use us up and waste our time Lying smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple everytime Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learnt to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple everytime Look at me with starry eyes Push me up to starry skies There's stardust in my head Pure and simple everytime Fresh and deep as oceans new Shiver at the sight of you I'll sing a softer tune Pure and simple over you Pure and simple just for you |

He is coming down
With some kind of cold She's running around He's feeling old, he needs the rest But she wants more And then he blows like a hurricane And tears pour out and fall like rain But she'll keep holding on 'Cause it's all that she wants And she's dreaming sweet dreams tonight And with a smile that says For him she's heaven sent She's dreaming sweet dreams tonight Like a wagonwheel, that's how you make me feel You spin me round, you think I'm just your clown She is going down Down to the other side of town With open eyes that see the truth But can't see more 'Cause he might blow like a hurricane (like a hurricane) Then tears pour out and fall like rain Oh, you, you, you've got your hooks in me But oh, I never want for you to set me free Just keep a hold on me |

Down here at the bottom
When you're staring at the top With a head full of ideas I'm only flesh and blood On an either down of glory And a pillow of desire Drifting on an ocean And the waves wash through my mind Something haunts us, kicks the stars from our skies Blows the lights out with the whisperin' sighs If you're down, down, I'm down, down And when you're down, down, I'm down, down Well, I was nearly me and you were nearly you The nearly man was nothing, he was never any use Beaten down by generations, of generations beaten down There's nothing I can promise that my conscience will allow Something haunts us, kicks the stars from our skies Blows the lights out with the whisperin' sighs If you're down, down, I'm down, down And when you're down, down, I'm down, down If you're down, down, I'm down, down And when you're down, down, I'm down, down If you're down, down, I'm down, down And when you're down, down, I'm down, down |

I never meant to make you cry
A fool I was, I never meant to say goodbye Can't you feel the pressure drop? Can't you feel the pressure's off? Heaven's here in front of me I can't breath and I can't see Baby, I never realized..... As the days and the nights roll on I've prayed for this moment since the day I was born Nut, oh god, baby I never realized The joy 'till the joy was gone I know I'm wrong, I know I was so blind But worst of all, I saw the tears, I saw you cry Can't you feel the pressure drop? Can't you see the pressure's off? Heaven's here in front of me I can't breath and I can't speak Baby I never realized..... And you can build walls to surround you But I'll tear down this world 'till I've found you You're the treasure, believe me, I need you Come home..... As the days and the nights roll on I've prayed for this moment since the day I was born Nut, oh god, baby I never realized The joy 'till the joy was gone And as time rolls on I've been fighting since the day I was born But, oh god, baby I never realized The joy 'til the joy was gone Hold on, hold on, hold on |

Hold tight, all night
And don't let go My head's light, my hands are tied I won't let go Tonight, crystal lights surround me Like stars that pour in a waterfall As love comes down I found rainbows, where you go I go I'm stuck on you, I'm stuck like glue From kisses to blows, in our eyes it shows Pleasure meets paradise And it won't let go So nice, butterflies Don't let go Tonight, no thunder clouds in my skies In silver chains, the summer rain comes pouring down Here it comes, here it comes again (here it comes) I remember now, and then It's like a long-lost friend, here it comes again It's alright, I know I'm right Don't let go Hold your breath, and don't forget Don't let go |

The honey taste still hangs on my tongue
There's so many things to tell you But now you're gone, now you're gone The price of the words I could never say Was the tears washed the love away Please, please, come back to me The price as the smiles and the kisses fade Was the hopes and the memories stayed Please, please, come back to me As I search to find the reasons to bring you home The only words I can find to tell you are "I was wrong, I was wrong" The price of the words I could never say Was the tears washed the love away Please, please, come back to me The price as the smiles and the kisses fade Was the hopes and the memories stayed Maybe today or maybe tomorrow I'll have to beg you to stay I'll be your candle I'll show you the way If I could find the words To bring you back to me The price of the words I could never say Was the tears washed the love away Please, please, come back to me The price as the smiles and the kisses fade Was the hopes and the memories stayed Please, please, come back to me The price of the words I could never say Was the tears washed the love away Please, please, come back to me The price as the smiles and the kisses fade Was the hopes and the memories stayed Please, please, come back to me |

The storms of life will pass away
As I walk beside my Holy of Holies The northern lights that held my gaze Were heaven in those hellish days And once I longed to taste them all God help them When they find out That's what life is all about The words have died upon our lips The winds have blown disaster upon us All my life I've braved these thorns And weathered out the blackest storms But once I long to taste them all God help them When they find out That's what life is all about And God help us When we find out That's what love is all about Since that day, you're all I've prayed for We're bought and paid for But it's cost us both more |
