Today! I saw music in the sky
I drove towards it in my car And I turned left and I turned right But I could never lose the light That shines towards tomorrow night Who can say what it means? What goes on in between And what gets in between It's just somethin' Between you and me Between you and me Between you and me It's as sweet as can be. Today! I saw music in the sky It sang around me. I went blind. Like a masterpiece in a disguise Couldn't stop it pulling at my eyes Who can say what it means What goes on in between And what gets in between Ice and fire Between you and me Between you and me Sweet as can be Between you and me Monday.. Tuesday.. Blow a fuse day Fix it in the usual way Meet me at the church and we'll get in a state Stay up late and I'll wake up feeling like A kid swingin' on heavens gate With no God to complain Or point the finger of blame We'll get it all down on video 8 You comin' out to play? Could be quite a day... And I sang that pretty tune An open airy song And my heart looped the loop Well I could do no wrong. Who can say what it means? What goes on in between Who can say what you see And what gets in between you and me Between you and me Sweet as can be Between you and me |

I can imagine nothing more tedious Than trying to have fun with you again Maybe it's just something in my mind But I hate feeling like I'm trying all the time It's a kind of lie When we pretend that we're still friends I'm sure you're not exactly short of people to hang out and laugh at your jokes Tell you you look great You wouldn't want me around Making it all feel "forced " ..and "put down" And every time I smile to wonder if I'm laughin' at you And with every little grin you don't want to be wonderin' Just exactly what it is I'm taking pleasure in Although I always said We were basically the same and all one All one It's so easy to persuade myself I'm clockwork and you're quartz I guess that irony Will surely be The death of me And every time I smile d'you wonder if I'm laughin' at you? |

Watching the people on the street today
she couldn't help but smile Watchin' the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit This is the day she walks away And the lights of the city pushin' a good time Asking her out tonight But she's saving her money for a better life She's got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall She's got a map of the world She's gonna go and see it all She's gonna see it all Watchin the people on the street today Such a lonely sight 'Swore she could see their dreams go by All cars and stars and buy buy buy Runnin on empty Runnin to stand still No time for their own lives Sleepwalking through the danger signs And it feels a little scary A little runaway Letting go of all she's done And the lights of the city, well they're all singin' Buy some of this, cmon But when you lie to yourself You lie to everyone She's got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall She's got a map of the world She's gonna go and see it all She's gonna see it all She'll empty the sand from her shoes In Paradise Sail out across the bay She'll dance under an island sky Until the break of day She's got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall It's such a beautiful world Glistening and magical She's got a map of the world Shining away in her mind Colouring-in her life This is the day she walks She's gonna see it all She's gonna breathe it all Paris London New York She's gonna see it all |

And if the bottle's no solution
Why does it feel so warm And if that girl is no solution Why did she feel so warm And if to feel is no solution Why do I feel Why do I feel so tired Why do I feel so broken Why do I feel so outside Why do I seem so blind I'm so sick of feeling It's ruined my life If living rough is no solution Why does it ease my mind If looking back is no solution Why are we all Nothing but children Children inside Why do the Gods Sit back and watch So many lost What kind of mother Leaves a child in the traffic Turning tricks in the dark What kind of God? I crawled around inside myself It was a long way down It was a mine and it was mine And in the darkness I saw a perfect mirror Floating in space When I meet God I'm going to ask her What makes her cry What makes her laugh Is she just stars and indigo gas Does she know why Love has no end But it's dark-angel friend Tearing women and men Slowly apart Stain Don't do that Scream Don't do that Fail Never do that Never do that I want to go out Don't do that I want an adventure Just stay.. I want Just stay in I want to make love And if the bottle's no solution Why does it feel so warm And if looking back is no solution Why are we all just children inside And if to feel is no solution Why does the whole damn world feel so broken So outside and out-of-sorts A perfect mirror Floating in space Waves and numbers But oh, such beautiful numbers And oh, such waves... |

Goodnight my love
I'm so alone And so surrounded By your sweet memory I cannot sleep For all these dreams They come to play Till dawn comes stealin' them away.. The fruit of the wild rose Hangs here with summer gone Voluptuous crimson As the days become colder The fruit of the wild rose In a warmer country Where the sea meets the land You may walk with your baby In the afternoon Perhaps some aroma From a street cafe Might sadden your eyes Carry you away The fruit of the wild rose Sweet and so sour on the tongue Swollen and crimson As the light fades and shortens The thorny wild rose She gave me a summer but she's gone As England faces the winter In your eyes, in your mind, in your mind Clearer than a photograph No passing of time Ever could fade You and I Shimmering ghostly Like a wild garden from another life Will you throw your arm Turn your body round Breathe a sudden sigh Wherever you lie sleeping Stir your hips Feel the seed inside so sweet Dreaming westbound waves And a man comin' back from the sea... Dreaming Dance for me rose |

We didn't lie to you, folks. We told you we had living, breathing, monstrosities. You'll laugh at them, shudder at them, and yet, but for the accident of birth, you might be even as they are. They did not ask to be brought into the world, but into the world they came. Their code is a law unto themselves. Offend one, and you offend them all! Can you feel my skin Can you feel my bones Can you put my spine in plaster and take me home So unpleasant inside and out So unpleasant inside and out If you like I'll tell you about it You wouldn't want to know My heads full of water Tears I never cried Could you hold me under the shower In the cold outside So unsteady inside and out So unsteady inside and out If you like I'll tell you about it You wouldn't want to be Separated out Separated out Separated out I need medical attention Where's my memory gone Everything I told you - including this, I already forgot Separated out From the living stream The thing that couldn't lie straight Straight in the machine So unstable inside and out Don't know how much longer I'll take it If you like I'll sell you a ticket Or you can get in for free Am I enough of a freak To be worth paying to see Am I enough of a freak To be worth paying to see And now, folks, if you'll just step this way, you are about to witness the most amazing, the most astounding, living monstrosity of all time. Can you feel my skin Can you feel my bones Can you put my spine in plaster and take me home Can you kiss my face Let me know it's there Can you give it shap |

A wise man once said
A flower is only A sexual organ Beauty is cruelty And evolution A wise man once said that everything could be explained with mathematics He had denied His feminine side Now where is the wisdom in that? I came just as fast as I could Through the dirty air Of your neighbourhood Your name on a grain of rice Hangin' around my neck And a head like lead This is the 21st century I heard everything they said The Universe demystified Chemicals for God This is the 21st century I heard everything they said A wise man once wrote That love is only An ancient instinct For reproduction Natural selection A wise man once said That everything could be explained And it's all in the brain We lay on a velvet rug by the open fire She blew air on my eyelids I cried "What's it all about?" As she kissed my hair She said "There, there.." "This is the 21st century I heard everything you said The universe demystified Astronomy instead This is the 21st century Can't you get it through your head This aint the way it was meant to be Magic isn't dead Come to bed Come to bed And rest your heavy head my love.." And slowly, from above, She showed the answer's something that can't be written down This is the 21st century Flash to crash and burn Nobody's gonna give you anything For nothing in return There's a man up in a mirrored building And he just bought the world Would you want To have kids Growing up Into what's left of this? She shook her head, She said "Can't you see? The world is you The world is me." |

Did you ever fall in love Did you ever fall in love Did you ever fall in love Did you ever dream of falling If my heart were a ball It would roll uphill We are alone in the world We must do what we feel we should We are told what is right Need hurts within us We can see sense We can feel what feels right And so often All these things are not at all the same They're not at all the same If my heart were a ball It would roll uphill If my heart were a ball It would roll uphill Did you ever dream of running And find you couldn't move Did you ever dream of running Running scared Ankle deep in glue With the monster after you And it's catching up Monsters catching up And it's catchin' up and you're going nowhere And you're slowin' up And you can't wake up And it's catchin' up and you're going nowhere wake up wake up You're falling.. If my heart were a ball It would roll uphill Did you ever see a shadow Cast against your bedroom wall Crooked shadow in the lamplight Ten feet tall Did you ever dream of falling And find you couldn't move Did you give up. And discover that you haven't given up Did you ever dream of falling Did you ever fall in love hard ball dream love now roll fall clown stain truth space time race give black white all one church state god fast as I could cry laugh hide feel no clouds will to win sweet seed you me hard ball dream love now roll fall clown stain truth space time never do that, never do that will to win, will to win, n |
