Oh I love this house, I love this house
Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known Oh I love to hear those conkers fall Smash on morning Southwark stone And I love that here you live with me Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known Cos I've been too long a lonely man Yes I've been too long a rolling stone So let seasons turn Grow paradise gardens End to my migration The native has returned Oh I love the curling of your hair Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known I see Dylan Thomas in your face Recite Butler Yeats there in your grace So let seasons turn Grow paradise gardens End to my migration The native has returned And if I had to die today Scatter my ashes on this place And I'll live on in your grieving heart But until that day that we depart Oh, this is the greatest peace I've ever known (x3) Only your love makes house a home |

She kisses him on Bermondsey Street and
Rises high on the balls of her feet Declares this the greatest love of the century He fumbles for a wedding ring She's no, no clone from Vogue magazines She is complex in all her complexion Love is here to heal And I'm so proud of you Now you must too Take pride with what This love you do He kisses him on Bermondsey Street Standing brave on the balls of his feet Declares this the greatest love of the century He fumbles for a wedding ring He's no, no clone from Colt magazines He is complex in all his complexion Love is here to heal And I'm so proud of you Now you must too Take pride with what This love you do Now you know Love knows no boundaries Sees beyond sexuality And holds the sun in the palm of its hand Laughs down on the cynical man Here in what I say Here in what I see In two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street Regardless of religion Braver than any faith No fear of society Evolves you and me Love In two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street Two kisses sweet Two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street In two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street In two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street |

Summer in San Francisco
Kissing chlorine in the swimming pool Out of fuel at the Phoenix Motel I slept alone again that night In sweet dreams of Mother Ireland and Father Albion Sweet dream that you come near And I see my future clear And the threshold appears And I am carrying you over Carrying you over You come near I see my future clear And the threshold appears And I am carrying you over Carrying you over Into the hallway of our new home Chaos outside but I've got your back We've got our own paradise And we are private worlds away from public eyes I say I love you More than my life Truth completely You come near I see my future clear And the threshold appears And I am carrying you over Carrying you over You come near I see my future clear And the threshold appears And I am carrying you over Carrying me over Into the best days Of the rest of our lives Into the future Carrying you over Carrying you over Into the future Carrying me over |

Coat of black
Coat of black Weary waiting Weary waiting I turn out the light We kiss goodnight Been weary waiting Weary waiting To come closer Closer to where we belong Outside the city Children brandish Sharp their knives Sharpened knives And come closer Closer to where we belong If you be weak Then I'll be strong When the night is long Trust Over years you'll wake to find This man who's loved you Your whole life So come closer Closer to where we belong Just close your eyes Let those foxes fight The children of this city sharp their knives Come closer Closer to where we belong If I be weak Won't you be strong When the night is long? If I be weak Comreedhoo, comreedhoo When the night is long Close your eyes Let the foxes fight Close your eyes Come closer to where we belong Where we belong When the night is long When the night is long |

And I showed you
My ugly heart Yet you did not surrender Loving me back to life Through my self-destruction December All paranoias to trust I turn Turned my body's functions I remembered So till the going down of suns Will you Will you be my conqueror? |

From the east to the south
I tongue the roof of my mouth To new days of doubt without you First gear, I face the trouble ahead Final word has been said Long distance spread between us I tell myself to Hold on, won't be long Till I grow through this struggle Time to wake up, find my muscle Happy without you oh (x5) Not called for weeks now Six days without sleep means I am a slave to my early grave If I do not be brave, behave Seize myself out of this mess I have created of myself yet again Yet again I say Hold on, it won't be long Till I grow through this struggle Time to wake up, find my muscle Happy without you oh (x5) Beat go on Heart be strong Stay whole Unbroken As we divide Our love goodbye Thanks for, the time Time of my life Happy without you oh (x4) Time, time of my life Time, time of my life (So happy without you) Time, time of my life Time, time of my life Thanks for the time of my life (Happy without you) Happy without you oh Happy without you |

The days
Passing days I see the steeple And trace to the spire And the sun set Deep in regret Phoenix in final fire And the time stops Rush hour traffic slows And my heart starts Beating this dark Through old flesh and cold bone And I long to be carried on Just once to be lifted strong Out of the loneliness And the emptiness Of the days The days Passing days Days I remember I had your love once Seized my body whole And in our first dance I thought by chance God had matched my soul But time brought its travelling Its distance and solitude And in that travelling My self damaging I took my love far, far from you But don't you Long to be carried on Once more I could lift you strong Out of the loneliness And the emptiness Of the days Passing days Passing days Days Tell me Have we gone too far? Or did we get too close? You've no father I've no son But when we come ghost I promise I will meet you I will meet you At the end of the days The days Passing days Won't you meet me at the end of the days? |

Before you I was living
In my silver fish kitchen Fruit fly clouds breathing No hope, no religion A nightmare on Hazlitt Road I was too young Too weak from the road Too proud for help Too scared to grow old Out of my depth and out of control I was so lonely then Living in slow motion Breathless corrosion Waiting for the kiss of life Slow motion Breathless corrosion Waiting for the kiss of life City rumours spreading Deep water wolf treading Yes, I was too young Too weak from the road And too proud for help Too scared to grow Out of my depth and out of control Then strangers meet in slow motion Breathless devotion That night you gave me The kiss of life Slow motion Breathless Breathless That night you gave me The kiss of life That night you saved me With the kiss of life Wake me out of that deep sleep, darling Wake me out of that deep sleep, darling Wake me out of that deep sleep, darling Wake me out of that deep sleep, darling With your kiss Wake me out of that deep sleep Deep sleep, darling Deep sleep, darling |

Alone again in Paris
Travel drained I write to you You've been on my mind Cold days, long nights A rooftop in Berlin I call Confess the state I'm in These cities This view I see nothing without you And I can do this alone But we can do this so much better Together Together Together Together I can make it alone But we can make it so much better Together Together Together Together London Bridge The rain At last back in these arms again I'm sorry I hurt you I hurt me too Forgive my jealousy That's not the man I long to be By your side My whole life True love knows no sacrifice And I can do this alone But we can do this so much better Together Together Together Together I can make it alone We can make it so much better Together Together Together Together Together I put my arms around your waist Pull you closer in embrace I say divided we fall But stronger we stand Together Together Together Together Together |

(Up, up, up for us)
Hey, hey! Down in the foundry They forge for us the changing bell Turn your back against the wind Spit down the wishing well With nothing left to waste But opportunity To be the lovers we have longed to be Now things are looking up, up, up for you Looking up, up, up for me Looking up, up, up for us Finally We cross the borderline To wake the sleep of colour Under wind turbine Look at the rusting of that old machinery! Rusting away apart to history Now things are looking up, up, up for you Looking up, up, up for me Looking up, up, up for us Finally We cross the borderline Ha, ha! What brings the joy Will take your tears You've been holding back Too many years That you were down and out of luck Now side by side We're looking up Finally Looking up, up, up for you Looking up, up, up for me Looking up, up, up for us Time to ring that changing bell Up, up, up Up, up, up Up, up, up Up, up, up Up, up, up |
