The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear The pleasure part, the afterthought, the missing stone in the graveyard The time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to become a man The dust at dawn is rained upon, attaches itself to everyone No one is spared, no one is clean It travels places you've never been or seen before The night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear You drop a coin into the sea, and shout out ""Please come back to me"" You name your child after your fear, and tell them ""I have brought you here"" The scary part, the aftershock, the moment it takes to fall apart The time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to destroy a man The ecstasy, the being free, the big black cloud over you and me And after that, the upwards fall, and were we angels after all? I don't know, I don't know... The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear You drop a coin into the sea, and shout out ""Please come back to me"" You name your child after your fear, and tell them ""I have brought you here"" The night starts here... |

Grey skies and light fading
headlamps making patterns on the wall Uptown it's dead now but, out here no one seems to care at all Slick girls and sick boys and each one lining up to take it home They hold tight their coin and they pray no one has to see the fall I'm there, yeah I serve them, the one with the empty looking eyes Come closer, you'll see me the face that is used to telling lies Saturday nights in neon lights Sunday in the cell Pills enough to make me feel ill, cash enough to make me well Take me, take me to the riot Take me, take me to the riot Take me, take me to the riot Take me, take me to the riot Take me You sprung me, I'm grateful I love when you tell me not to speak I owe you but I know you you'll have me back but it's gonna take a week What now kid which way love Will we ever make up and be friends Good news is my shoes is lined with all my nickels and my tens Let's do them Just feed me I hate when I have to go to sleep You despise me and I love you It's not much but it's just enough to keep Saturday nights in neon lights Sunday in the cell Pills enough to make me feel ill cash enough to make me well Take me, take me to the riot Take me, take me to the riot Take me, take me to the riot Take me, take me to the riot And let me stay And let me stay |

I was always late
you never afraid that we could be falling All our friends would say, maybe we should wait they can't see what's coming And to this day when everything breaks you are the anchor that holds me And that is why we'll always make it How I know your face all the ways you move you come in I can read you You're my favourite book All the things you say the way you shift your eyes I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive How I know your face all the ways you move you come in I can read you You're my favourite book When the days are long and the thunder with the storm can always get you crying You can make my bed I'll fall into it, shattered but not lonely Because I never knew a home, until I found your hands when I'm weathered you're always my best friend And that is why we'll always make it How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in I can read you You're my favourite book All the things you say the way you shift your eyes I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive And when we're making love I'd give up everything for your touch How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you You're my favourite book All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes I never knew there was someone to make me come alive When you go to work all the day I wait For you to come back recount our time, in our little place our little place our little place our little place our little place |

Sweetness, sweetness
never suits me, when I get up to take you home Maybe it's love, love at first slightly drunk Now I'm walking with the sun in my mouth Worry, worry is a well, going to let it fall tonight from where we stand What can't be decided In the morning it will bring itself to you I can see what's coming but I'm not saying it Sickness, weakness at the thought of how you're going to play How long should I stay Promises, promises never cease to assist it now I'm back on my back bite your words Hurry, hurry to believe I can always trust, as much as you deceive What can't be decided In the morning it will bring itself to you I can see what's coming but I'm not saying it What's your middle name How do you play the game I'll be the first to leave When did I grow up I don't want to say too much I'll be the first to leave What can't be decided In the morning it will bring itself to you What can't be decided Can fool you into thinking never wanna be I can see what's coming I can see what's coming I can see what's coming But I'm not saying it |

He hoped to be remembered
as the one who told his men to turn back And go where he'd begun Roses are the flower he would prefer Scatter all his ashes on the pier Genova Heights, Genova Heights Are hard to leave are hard to leave Genova Heights, Genova Heights Are hard to leave are hard to leave You did wrong As you thought was good and now you're back in the neighbourhood I see you when I never should now you're back in the neighbourhood You did wrong that you thought was good, and now you're back in the neighbourhood I always see you when I never should now you're back now you're back in the neighbourhood He taps upon the glass when I'm asleep so now I keep my window closed at night He said you didn't know that when I leave he is waiting for his moment to be right Genova Heights, Genova Heights Are hard to leave, so hard to leave Genova Heights, Genova Heights are hard to leave are hard to leave You did wrong that you thought was good, and now you're back in the neighbourhood I always see you when I never should now you're back in the neighbourhood You you did wrong that you thought was good, and now you're back in the neighbourhood I always see you when I never should now you're back now you're back in the neighbourhood |

Trapped on the terraces
I looked at you and knew You were the only thing that mattered There was no one for me but you In Harmony Street we beat a man Just for standing there I held my breath as I watched you swing Then run your fingers through your hair Oh, how could anyone not love the terrible things you do Oh, how could anyone not want to try and help you In Bermondsey in Burberry, you held me at the barricade, the pigs arrived with tear gas And I wept at the mistakes we made We stalked the streets like animals And danced as windows shattered For our island for the thrill of it for everything that mattered Oh, how could anyone not want to rip it all apart Oh, how could anyone not love your cold, black heart I found you on a Saturday, and that was where I lost you You had finally walk away because of what it cost you years later when I saw your face In line to catch the morning train you looked like you'd been softened Like you never really loved the pain Oh, how could anyone not finally diminish The thrill of blood comes instantly There's only darkness at the finish Meet me at the barricade I'll be at the barricade Meet me at the barricade the love died, but the hate can't fade I'll be at the barricade the love died, but the hate won't fade |

Stuck on the wall
the note that you left I wait and stall for the moment Your reckless heart you know you got it I crawl to bed, I try to sort it sort it sort it sort it sort it sort it sort it Out of the fog, a colder morning I wanted to call for nothing Your careless heart you know you got it Into the past, I try to forget forget forget forget forget forget forget When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious Blanket of cloud, the sky hovering The winter is long and forgiving You melt your doubt and fall into me I find your mouth and try to hold it hold it hold it hold it hold it hold it hold it blame your love you know is harmless We're both wise for falling The summer arrives the gardens alive With the mud and mortar we're going to save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious |

You can write my place out
Of the life you make And all then things that mattered When you knew my face Cross off all the ways I failed you Because I failed you But I'm still in your blood I'm still in your blood The time when all our mistakes made sense You needed it The time when all the lying You sympathized with sin All this sabotage and blame Well I can take it Because I just want you back I just want you back Temporary battles Can take up half your life How you dig your bed Will it help you sleep at night Forgiveness like a blanket That you want to forget But you still crumble at my name You still crumble at my name The time when all our mistakes made sense You needed it The time when all the lying You sympathized with sin All this sabotage and blame Well I can take it Because I just want you back I just want you back The time when all our mistakes made sense You needed it The time when all the lying You sympathized with sin All this sabotage and blame Well I can take it Because I just want you back I just want you back The time when all our mistakes made sense You needed it The time when all the lying You sympathized with sin All this sabotage and blame Well I can take it Because I just want you back I just want you back |

When you can't get up
to the cold morning light But you don't get to sleep in still dreaming And everybody only wants to fight You're up against never being right When the worries of the world hold your feet And there's nothing left to believe in Today today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong Today today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong There's nothing more to take in going wrong Old pale memories of someone you knew Keep crawling through the back of your mind stealing time In the daylight you're crossing all your wires You never knew just how to put out a fire The closet's been shaking with bones Little reminders that you're out on your own Today Today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in going wrong Today Today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong Today Today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong Today Today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong |

The basement's filled with cold
And the lamp's burning on the floor Lost you today, forgot to say That you can ask for more The wind has shifted faces And the water level's low All these crops, My body's yours As the summer falls (chorus) Tumble through, Burning through the fire Could I, see you leave?--Y'see, Make me feel always, For always, It's you, that I see(k) Lunatics get lucky And everybody knows The willows will hang their heads And the bittersweet row From where I sit, With your back turned-- Here it's just begun! (chorus 2x) It's getting much too late On the bus back to the city The day is ending, ending dark And maybe so are we When the final summer ends, If I could come back down to earth I would only live my life again What would that be worth? If I can only kiss you once again What would that be worth? If I could fly back down to earth What would that be worth? |
