You know sometimes...when we're lying together...
and I know you're asleep...I can hear the soft sound of your breathing... so I get up...and I go to the window...Outside...I can see all the houses... curtains shut tight against the night...asleep beneath the roof-tiles... and as I stand here...I wonder...I wonder how many more times... I'm gonna come here...I wonder how many more times...I'm gonna lie here... and most of all...most of all I wonder...I wonder what it means... I just wanna know what it means...So I woke her... and we went walking through the sleeping town... down deserted streets...frozen gardens grey in the moonlight... fences...down to the canal... creeping slowly past the cooling towers... deserted factories...looking for an adventure... I wandered the streets calling your name...jumping walls... hoping to see a light in the window...let me in... let me come in...let me in tonight... oh I see you shivering in the garden... silver goose-flesh in the moonlight ...she's balancing... there are so many others...with unbroken eyes... no cellulite afternoons... and she is balancing... balancing on the edge of ugliness tonight... She is balancing... good God! My legendary girlfriend, she is crying tonight, Oh no she doesn't feel right, She's got no-one to hold, Her love is a sham, He is dancing somewhere. Oh no he doen't care, oh well, he'll never know. Jump...touch my hair...I wanna...I don't care...cos tonight...we could, maybe we...maybe we can touch the sky...do you think that we can... do you think that we can...touch the sky...please...I know... I know it's not forever...but tonight I don't care... your skin so pale in the moonlight... and the way your lips swell up when you're asleep... nothing else matters...do you know how much I want you?... Can you feel how much I want you?... Oh Pitsmoor Woman oh let oh let me in tonight My legendary girlfriend, she is crying tonight, Oh no she doesn't feel right, She's got no-one to hold. Her love is a sham, He is dancing somewhere. Oh no he doen't care, oh well, he'll never know. And all the stars came out tonight, and the moon came on it's face, It shone right though the clothes she wore, it shone right through the dress she wore. Good God Oh, y'know...listen...listen...please...oh...I just wanna... I just wanna... ...He falls to sleep again...no cheese tonight...she knows My legendary girlfriend, she is crying tonight, Oh no she doesn't feel right, She's got no-one to hold. Her love is a sham, He is dancing somewhere. Oh no he doen't care, oh well, he'll never know. And all the stars came out tonight, and the moon came on it's face. It shone right through the dress she wore, it shone right through the clothes she wore. And the stars and the moon, And the stars all came down today. Oh please love me tonight Good God now! |

Hey,
you can look, you can look just like anyone else if that's what you want to do. I, I could laugh, I could laugh in your face if I want oh, but I'm not going to. When we met last week on Saturday, I couldn't make a sentence, I couldn't even say what I meant to say: that I want you it doesn't hurt to say I want you, I need you I never thought I'd say I need you, I'll keep you, oh yes I'll keep you and I'll throw myself away, away, away, and I'll break you because I lose myself inside you, I'll make you fit in the space that I provide you, I'll take you, oh yes, I'll take you just to push you far away, away, away. Yes, yes, you're all, yes you're all that I ever desire, still I'll kill you in the end. When, when it seems, when it seems that it's getting too soft, when you lapse into a friend, There's someone just behind the door so don't betray your feelings, no don't talk anymore, never dare to say that I want you it doesn't hurt to say I want you, I need you I never thought I'd say I need you, I'll keep you, oh yes I'll keep you and I'll throw myself away, away, away, and I'll break you because I lose myself inside you, I'll make you fit in the space that I provide you, I'll take you, oh yes, I'll take you just to push you far away, away, away. Now, now we come, now we come to the end of it all, see it squirming, almost dead. No, you can't leave, you can't leave it to die here in pain. You've got to stamp upon it's head. I'll go out and you'll stay home facing up to living, living on your own, and I'll curse my pride, curse my pride, curse my stupid pride because I want you it doesn't hurt to say I want you, I need you I never thought I'd say I need you, I'll keep you, oh yes I'll keep you and I'll throw myself away, away, away, and I'll break you because I lose myself inside you, I'll make you fit in the space that I provide you, I'll take you, oh yes, I'll take you just to push you far away, away, away. |

His body loved her
his mind was set on other things Keep your face out of sight and your thoughts to yourself And this went on for several nights festering in silence, growing in the dark and this they saw as love Love So sad to see They suffocate at night Oh this they saw as love Love So sad to see to see it slowly die She met his wishes he found that he had changed his mind Now the fit is too tight and the bedroom too warm The days are filled with things to do Night-time lies so hollow and memories betray Oh memories of love Love So sad to see They suffocate at night Those memories of love Love So sad to see to see it slowly die Two years have passed two years of emptiness inside and the grey skies above just show how far I went wrong I wonder if she's living there the way that I recall the way I'll always think of you And when I think of you I think of love Love So sad to see They suffocate at night You know I think of love Love So sad to see to see it slowly die I wrote you a letter I threw it away I wrote you a letter I threw it away I need her I know I don't need her I need her Oh Oh-oh |

Starts so slowly, just a place to stay
Somewhere warm where they can spend their days Air is stagnant and he feels unclean Hair hangs greasy and he smells obscene Something's happened and it's not so good broken bottles in the face of love Mottled flesh under the harsh strip-light Nylon sheets to keep them warm at night Once it's started it can never stop fills his head with a dark damp fog In the distance is a constant cry growing louder as the years go by Days get longer and he starts to drink spews his stomach in the kitchen sink Tells his children they should have respect Tells his wife that she's a nervous wreck He hates his wife and he hates them all He hates his wife and he hates them all Can't be bothered when it's all the same leave it long enough, it goes away In the meantime stomach turns to fat She tries to tell him but he can't have that She's only jealous and she's telling lies Standing naked in his flesh disguise It took him months to get her into bed now he's got her he just wants her dead She wants excitement and she needs romance all she gets are dirty underpants Stupid animal that can't know why something's wrong so someone has to die The wind is blowing and the rain falls down Sends his family on a trip down town Sees them die in a burning wreck Sees them burn, smokes a cigarette He hates his wife and he hates them all He hates his wife and he hates them all He knows he's finished but he can't stop now and he wants to end it but he can't see how and it's all in pieces, thrown it all away Oh, but he's not ugly, he just looks that way And he wants some quiet and he needs it now but the scream he's started's getting far too loud and he still pretends he does it just for now His day will come he'll lose it all somehow Killing time until his ship arrives been dead ten years but he's still alive and the time is wasted and the ship has sunk but he hasn't noticed and he comes home drunk and he's just dead weight, he'll never leave the ground He tries to stand but he keeps falling down and it's hard to know he doesn't count for much He's not a has-been, just a never-was Oh he hates his wife and he hates them all He hates his wife and he hates them all Hates his wife Hates them all. |

As the sun shines down on the land,
so her heart is crying for love. And there is no-one there, no-one to hear her voice. And she will sleep alone again tonight. Now the moon is high in the sky. In her room she calls out his name. But he is somewhere else, somewhere she cannot see. Oh, and the night is dark between them now, "My god, my God, why did he go away?" Now the sun shines on a new town. With a smile he gets off the train. He lights a cigarette, leans back to see the sky. Oh and he thinks how much better off he is, without her hanging round. Let's do it. And the day is passing by him, and he has nowhere to stay. At a lonely bar-room table, his mind goes back to yesterday, to the girl who's dead and buried, but her face lives in his eyes. He must forget that face forever. Make the future start tonight. But the meal he eats is dead flesh. There is cancer in his cigarettes. And the drinks won't do a thing for him, but revive some stupid memories. Then a hairstyle that reminds him, makes him run into the night, where the moon hangs high above him now, the same moon that she's praying on tonight. But the wind catches her words. And the moon swallows them whole. Now the moon is high in the sky. In her room she calls out his name. The night is cold and dark, and she is all alone. The bed is empty now. Her body screams for love. She wants to be with him. Oh but he's so far away. Oh and the night is dark between them now "My God, my God, why did he go away?" |

Ninety-seven lovers
twisted out of shape and just one kiss could set them straight Ninety-seven lovers twisted out of shape and just one kiss could set them straight I know a woman with a picture of Roger Moore in a short towel and dressing-gown pinned to her bedroom wall She married a man who works on a building site Now they make love beneath Roger every Friday night Ninety-seven lovers twisted out of shape and just one kiss could set them straight Ninety-seven lovers rose to meet the sun and when the day was over there were only ninety-one Another I know well, she laughs too loud with her friends playing it safe on the surface to give her heart time to mend and then one day without warning he walks unannounced through the door and he picks her heart up off the table and he watches it smash on the floor Ninety-seven lovers twisted out of shape and just one kiss could set them straight Ninety-seven lovers rose to meet the sun and when the day was over there were only ninety-one. |
