Ah, those days, those days where did they go?
They shuffled through our doorways. Are they here? Ah, those days, those days they follow us home and peer through our windows. And they're here? For all our hoping they're here. Ah, those nights, those nights they tiptoed by, they crackle under our pillows and they're here. Then our yesterdays tomorrows, then our yesterdays tomorrows, then our yesterdays tomorrows, they're here. And still we try to reach for what has gone behind, but they're here. The sun arrived, beat down until that life ran dry and every moment burned with that fire but they're here. Then our yesterdays tomorrows, then our yesterdays tomorrows, then our yesterdays tomorrows, they're here. For all our hoping, all our wondering, they're here. |

Was that the flicker of a little girl?
(Some moments our story is meaningless.) When you just want to feel safe, you just want to be loved And you know there's no better place than this Maybe I could prove myself wrong, Maybe things fall together than pull apart 'Seen you when you were fourteen coming home from school (It's so easy to be beautiful when you're young.) I still see that light that is shining through those tired eyes Could those eyes see what was coming then? And we all want what we can't afford And we all get what we deserve Too many deaths and betrayals, too many lies (Makes it hard to trust the moment you're in.) Too many teardrops that you hold inside (They were always gonna pour over me someday.) Maybe I could prove myself wrong, Held on to something I thought I never could 'Never carelessly mislaid I always knew just where it was Was that the flicker of a little girl? (Some moments our story is meaningless.) |

Why don't you come out
The guards have gone They've forgotten their purpose And shuffled along So come feel the sun Why don't you come out The dogs lies sleeping Their limbs, they twitch with the chase in their dreams So come feel the sun Why don't you come out And exact your revenge On the liars and wasters that called themselves friends For to forgive is overrated As they kneel at your feet So come feel the sun Why don't you come out We all miss you Your wife and babies They just want to hold you So come feel the sun Touch your face And make everything the same as it was. |

On the other side of the world is an island
The shape of a woman And I know this place From there, there is no escape Y'know she held me Not too tight for she would break me Not too loose for I would slip away To the other side of the world Y'know she held me Like I could leave at any time And I could breathe into the wire And tell myself I'm free When it turned under my feet And buildings and the trees left with the wind Left me standing In a dirty city street, where I'm a stranger to everyone And everyone is a stranger to me If I could talk to you darlin' I'd tell you all the things I could never say Like I couldn't hear For I love you through this wilderness I'll love you through the shit I loved you through the best times that there ever was From the other side of the world. When it turned under my feet And buildings and the trees left with the wind Left me standing Now I'm shouting at satellites Screaming down the wires To find you On the other side of the world is an island The shape of a woman And I know this place I know this place. |

Needs must when the devil drives
He's been driving me all the way He's got a hungry saw He wants to tear it all up now A gram of speed and a one-night stand I left my baby in the devils hands He's got an hungry saw He wants to tear it all up now He's got a hungry saw … The first cut is the skin The second is the muscle There's a crack of the bone And he's at your heart There's a crack of the bone … (And he's at your heart.) Hello darkness my old friend It's time to jerk those tears again And he works that saw … so painlessly Oh, those devils hands Those devils hands … (oh no) I feel them on my skin And I love them so … Those devils hands (2x) The first cut is the skin The second is the muscle There's a crack of the bone And he's at your heart There's a crack of the bone And he's at your heart And there's no need to 'phone home 'Cos your mother's out, with someone who ain't your dad Those devils hands … (oh no) Those devils hands … |

Was there a time when love had failed you
And left you no place left to turn? And was there a time when love had cradled you And would catch you from any fall? It's not so serious, not so serious Not so serious, after all And was there a wolf that escaped from your dream And hid behind your bedroom door? And was there a hand that reached out and pulled you near And would catch you from any fall? It's not so serious, not so serious Not so serious, after all Mother dear The sky is falling Through this night I am crawling around I need the sound of your heart. |

Boobar come back to me
I know you feel the pain that I feel I've heard that a thousand times It sings behind every door And I go rushing into that room To find nothing at all I ran down into the street And bathed in the city's noise 'Seems no matter where I go I still hear that voice She sang: Boobar And all the ships came in Before the storm began She sang: Boobar, come back to me I know you feel the pain, that I feel I jumped on the nearest train I travelled down to the shore I screamed into the waves But I still hear that voice I picked up an old guitar I tried to learn that song It's been so many years now Of 'where did all gone wrong? I sang it in every town You know, I tried my best Some nights I almost made it shine I've made a fool of it. Was there a time we really sold ourselves out? We wanted so much more We wanted something else I sang it in limousines On the back of mules It turned me into a king It turned me into a fool (2x) Boobar come back to me I know you feel the pain that I feel. |

All the love
All the love inside me Is on its way Is on its way to find you Don't try to hide From my love for you All the love All the love inside me Is on its way Is on its way to find you Like the tide I will always return to you And all the love All the love inside you Waits for me In the dunes in the tall grass You sit and smile You are the only one That could ever tease me All the love All the love inside you Feels my steps Getting closer to you Down on the shore You sing your love To the stars They're the guiding me back to you All the love All the love inside me Feels your breath Upon my back And hears your song That calls me home If I could tell you Of some of all the things I've seen Of all the love All the love inside them Got locked away For its own protection For so long It became just a memory And all the love All the love inside them Twisted into hate They have no choice But so pass on their fear Pass on their pain They pour it down Into the child Into the man Into the world That grew to love The gun that's in his hand And all the love All the love inside me Felt like a drop In a dirty ocean I looked at the stars Looked at my hands And my fingertips Trembled at the thought of touching you. |

The turns we took to get here
The turns we took to get here The turns we took to get here But the ending is it so near? 'Cause we set out so long ago … I can't remember how or why we took that road I can't remember how … Sometimes I wonder about (The turns we took to get here.) And I wander backwards through my mind (The turns we took to get here.) Always that feckless youth, Taking me down roads I never wanted to travel Is that how I got here? But our song is carried on the wind And we chase so hard we fall She sees me down upon my knees And says 'Hey Charlie boy, it's time to come on home, It's time to stop pretending.' Somewhere in my house is a piece of paper (The turns we took to get here.) A story that brings us to this place (The turns we took to get here.) And I follow back down that line. ('Cause we set out so long ago …) Always that boy, scared of his own shadow, (The turns we took to get here.) Always that boy, (The turns we took to get here.) Turning me off, turning me on The turns we took to get here The turns we took to get here But the ending is it so near? The turns we took to get here Ohhh … The turns we took to get here … |
