Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do There's a boy here and he's almost you Almost all the things that your eyes once promised I see in his too Now your eyes are red from crying Almost blue Flirting with this disaster became me It named me as the fool who only aimed to be Almost blue It's almost touching it will almost do There's a part of me that's always true...always Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few I've seen such an unhappy couple Almost me Almost you Almost blue |

She told me today I'm in your way
She says your heading somewhere You've a long way to go Even more than she knows She thinks you're half the way there You've learnt nothing much at all No doubt you told her that you stayed with me through pity Honorable you Oh go away Make it easy on yourself Tell them I let you down I'm not the girl you met oh no And if I smile just a little Forgive me but I've read that book as well And I know. You know Oh now I'm so intrigued Your life's such a read It must be torture for you Unlike one such as me You know all that I need is to pick up after you You don't understand at all You move amongst us like some alien higher being Skimming no plane but yours So go away Make it easy on yourself Tell them I'm off my head I keep you from yourself And I can't help but smile a little Remembering all you choose to forget And I know You know that I still feel the world revolving miles beneath my feet You and I were hapless space cadets Mirrored when we meet When I was coming down you let me fall alone Now I think that you've been up too long You've learnt nothing much at all You move amongst us like some alien higher being Seeing no pain but yours Oh go away Make it easy on yourself Tell them I let you down I'm not the girl you met oh no And if I smile just a little Forgive me but I've read that book as well And I know.

Your mother was crying
Your father passed her a handkerchief Their tear-stained faces Looked to mine for a sign of grief A thousand raincoats Always stand around too long But I stayed to talk with you After they had gone. The flowers I brought you Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain Your name on the card had run So I tried in vain to write it again They didn't understand you - No! They didn't even try I'm so glad that you left us now Before you had the chance to die. I sat there for a long time, Expecting to turn and see you there I ran my fingers through the long grass Willing it to turn into your hair - and oh I'm gonna miss you, dear But I don't have to cry I'm so glad that you left us now, Before you had the chance to die And oh, I'm going to miss you dear, But I'm not going to cry I'm so glad that your life stopped now, Before it had the chance to die |

Ours was the best September
Of blue and gold it was Of aching nights And sleep-all days I made my way to meet you By then the air had changed And you had seen me everywhere and they sparkled And shined like new Like you said I used to Another magic day is lost on you And all the love falls through your fingers Another living day is lost and gone on you One night you took me driving You coloured everyone in shades that I'd never seen You said someone had left you You'd tried your very best (What silver clouded eyes see) Saying stay when leaving me When I'm all that you need Another magic day is lost on you And all the love falls through your fingers Another living day is lost and gone on you If you could feel it now Warmer than magenta skies My spirits burning just like the blazing cheeks on the face Of a young child And it's wild Another magic day is lost on you [What a day another living day] |

said to much while he stayed
and left too soon. bright on an evening sea, he washed in with the tide deep in each other's dreams where all but dreams had died. wretched in your thoughts gentle hate within the love you bought. words fade like flowers shadowed there beneath your wall wind cries from every angle dead leaves left to wait for fall. and in my darkest hour when i can find no light my goals are out of sight and nothing warms the night. i close my eyes and with such sweet surprise i can be anywhere i can be anyone. and in my darkest hour when i can find no light my goals are out of sight and nothing warms the night. i close my eyes and with such sweet surprise i can be anywhere i can be anything i can be anyone i can be anyone |

Do you ever wonder What it's like To be alone and No sleep at night Ever wonder Is this for real Ever Wonder Sometimes I think you sigh Time drifts by, once in a life Love is strong I won't feel anything I'm lost without you In my mind a picture That you frame Kaleidoscope of love you're showing me Loving sweet rays All hopes that fade My only gain My lonely game played without you You sigh Time drifts by, once in a life Love is strong I won't feel anything I'm lost without you Through the wake of you Every now and then Every now and then The road that I follow is so far from you Do you every wonder |

I can hardly breath again Into your arms and a perfect day From the garden where we lay With the roses all aflame You called my name and I meant to say It's been too long, so long I looked for your face watching down from the window Wave me till I'm gone I remember the dress you wore And you're still here with me, but maybe Dorothy it's been too long, so long Now I'm waiting in the dark In the strangeness of your bed To hide my face where you lay your head As I listen to the room And it speaks about a distance never met You were there and yet Dorothy it's been too long, so long You left without saying goodbye And I was so impatient then Always one to cynical to pray But I talked to you today D'you hear me? Dorothy it's been too long, so long |

She said something like I want to go down where the rivers wild
He said take me then I want to drown deep in your violent eyes [Feel the water rise again, call the river by your name] I want to float in through your door Hang it on the wall hang it all But I want to be sure of one thing That I'm getting into something peaceful I want to fly in on your wing Way, way up here I don't care for anything It's all in, and I'm not afraid I don't fear Falling She said listen I've been telling you I'm into something cruel He said give me what got into you I don't care what you do (If there's a full moon in Taiwan I want half of what you're on) I want to open up your mind Leave it all behind you and me we are one of a kind, we may find That we're getting high on something peaceful We're gonna take it for a ride Going nowhere fast but we got nothing to tie ourselves on And I'm not afraid to go down Falling She said something like I'm tired of me You've got to paint my face He said fold up like a paper boat, set sail for me again I want to fly in on your wing Way, way up here I don't care for anything, it's all in And I'm not afraid I don't fear Falling |

Somewhere in the shadows of your eyes
An element that takes me by surprise Something wants to pull me to my feet Willing me to go into retreat But how can I get up and walk away When ninety-nine percent decides to stay And watch the other fade to grey This glorious love will tear us down When nothing is left to turn around And giving it all is not enough For this glorious love This pleasure never ought to be denied For this is joy personified You can talk to me of give and take When I could take of you for takings sake But how can I deny what's on my mind Knowing it to be of my design Relegated - I resign This glorious love will tear us down When nothing is left to turn around And giving it all is not enough For this glorious love |

Now I have nothing, so God give me strength,
'Cause I'm weak in his way, and if I'm strong, I might still break. And I don't have anything to share That I won't throw away into the air. That song is sung out. This bell is rung out. He was the light that I'd bless. He took my last chance at happiness. So God give me strength. God give me strength. I can't hold on to him. God give me strength. When the phone doesn't ring And I'm lost in imagining Everything that kind of love is worth As I tumble back down to the earth. That song is sung out. This bell is rung out. He was the light that I'd bless. He took my last chance at happiness. So God give me strength. God, if he'd grant me his indulgence and decline, I might as well wipe him from my memory. Fracture the spell as he becomes my enemy. Maybe I was washed out Like a lip print on a shirt. See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt. I want him to hurt. Since I lost the power to pretend That there could ever be a happy ending. That song is sung out. This bell is rung out. He was the light that I'd bless. He took my last chance at happiness. So God give me strength. God give me strength. |

I only wait for it to stop And in the room locked up inside me The cutout magazines remind me I sit and wait alone in my room And in my room against the wall There is a picture very small A photograph I took some years ago It shows a picture of the room I know I sit and wait alone in my room *The walls are white and in the night The room is lit by electric light I stand alone and watch the clock I only wait for it to stop The doors are shut and all the windows lock The only sound is from the clock I sit and wait alone in my room *Repeat |

In a fleeting moment of a restless day
Driven to distraction I was captured by the game I have often wondered why I ever wanted to Leave these scattered hours behind me and speed myself to you I choose never to forget I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds Is this love? (4x) Set to work idle hands Shake these thoughts Had I planned them they never would be teasing me as viciously as these I would not have believed you Had I never seen Now you and I are intimately pictured In my dreams I could not forsake you or fall tumbling away And if I live in wonderland I'm better off this way I choose never to forget I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds Is this love? (4x) Set to work idle hands Shake these thoughts Had I planned them they never would be teasing me As viciously as these Is this love? |

One of these days
I'm waiting on a day When nobody comes to trample my meadow Biding my time There's gonna be a time Might take a while But changes are coming And it wont be long When everything you said Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head And when I wake up I wont see you on the bathroom floor In the tangle of clothes we left lying there It wont be long One of these nights With company I find I wont be inclined to leave before sunrise When my eyes, my mouth, my hands, my head Don't tell me that nobody else will do And it wont be long When everything you said Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head And when I wake up I wont see you on the bedroom floor In the tangle of rope we left lying there It wont be long It wont be long 'Till it's all gone And it wont be long When everything you said Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head And when I wake up I wont see you by the bedroom door In the wallpaper stained by the cup that I threw at your head It wont be long |

Charmant Souvenir! Charmant Souvenir! ----- Translation: I still believe I hear hidden beneath the palm trees your voice tender and deep like the song of a dove oh night enchantress divine rapture delightful thought mad intoxication, sweet dream in the clear starlight I still believe I see in between the long sails of the warm night breeze oh night...etc. |

Bien sur nous eumes des orages vingt ans d'amour c'est l'amour fol
Mille fois tu pris ton bagage mille fois je pris mon envol Et chaque meuble se souvient dans cette chambre sans berceau Des eclats des vieilles tempetes plus rien ne ressemblait a rien Tu avais perdu le gout de l'eau et moi celui de la conquete. Mais mon amour, mon doux mon tendre mon merveilleux amour De l'aube claire jusqu'a la fin du jour, je t'aime encore tu sais je t'aime. Moi je sais tous tes sortileges, tu sais tous mes envoutements Tu m'as garde de piege en piege, je t'ai perdue de temps en temps Bien sur tu pris quelques amants il fallait bien passer le temps Il faut bien que le corps exulte finalement finalement Il nous fallut bien du talent pour etre vieux sans etre adultes O mon amour, mon doux mon tendre mon merveilleux amour De l'aube claire jusqu'a la fin du jour, je t'aime encore tu sais je t'aime. Et plus le temps nous fait cortege et plus le temps nous fait tourment Mais n'est-ce pas le pire piege que vivre en paix pour des amants Bien sur tu pleures un peu moins tot je me dechire un peu plus tard Nous protegeons moins nos mysteres on laisse moins faire le hasard On se mefie du fil de l'eau mais c'est toujours la tendre la guerre. O mon amour, mon doux mon tendre mon merveilleux amour De l'aube claire jusqu'a la fin du jour, je t'aime encore tu sais je t'aime? |

Everyone is sleeping tight God knows I tried my best Darling you know it looks bad Just lost the best thing that I ever had Still I don't know why I did him wrong It's too late now he's gone to say *Baby oh no, can't leave me now Said think about it please 'Cos I love you and I need you And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong Heartache, heartache yeah When I saw his face I could see how bad I'd let him down Cheating when he was working hard, I just had to mess around I knew from the start he ain't got much money I should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey He's a good strong man and I love him so so how on earth can I let him go *Repeat And now it's midnight it's raining outside And I'm soaking wet, still looking for that man of mine And I ain't found him yet Well all of this rain can wash away my tears But nothing can replace all of those wasted years In all of this I tell you I have learnt Playing with fire gets you burnt And I'm still burning *Repeat You say you'll lose your pride Well don't you know dear, don't you know I'll lose so much more if you go now Oh no... |

It's the stain on the moon It's your idiot name It's the noise in the noise The gift of the game It's the fruit that we bear The peach that I bore It's you and it's me and it should have been more It's the choice that I made It's the maid that you chose It's the slip in the slide From fingers to toes It's the song of out there The pull of the door It's you and it's me and it should have been more What if I could say now, what if I could say Everything I meant now, everything It's only hours, only days Sat in Libra's Bowl, where it's all, it's all, it's all It's all, balancing It's the black in the grate The smoke in the sink It's the ether that you and I Opted to drink It's the tooth that was chipped On the first ever kiss It's you and it's me and that's what it is |

and the only sound, the wind that fills the trees even colder comes the moon and though it never seems too soon a sudden stillness as the rainfall starts to freeze (chorus) i'm mr blue i'm here to stay with you and no matter what you do when you're lonely - i'll be lonely too (repeat) a young girl, she is shaded bears the scars that never faded of the baby that was born on christmas day while the heavens sing their song a child's life is never long 'cos the food supplies will only last a day (chorus repeat) patriot emotion, is the cause of the commotion after all there's really no-one here to blame soldiers taking orders, 'cos we must defend the borders of our nation (and the other side's the same) (chorus repeat) i'll come to you at night when all the world is sleeping tight and lie beside you, till the early morning dew you can't hear me, you can't see but you can feel me when you read the folded letter she left addressed to you (chorus repeat |

i know i'll forget what i came here for,
my head was so full of things to say, but as i open my lips all my words slip away and anyway, i can't believe you want to turn the page, and move your life onto another stage, you can change the chapter you can change the book, but the story remains the same if you'd take a look. (chorus) for the times we've had i don't want to be - a page in your diary babe, for the good, the bad i don't want to see - a page in your diary babe, for the happy, the sad - i don't want to be another page in your diary. perhaps if i held you i could win again, i could take your hands we'd talk and maybe then - that look in your eyes i always recognise, would tell me everything is gonna be fine, you're gonna be mine for a long time...

he turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
intent and direct when he speaks, i watch his lips and when he drives i love to watch his hand white and smooth almost feminine, almost american, i have to watch him. (chorus) in his face age descends on youth, exaggeration on the truth he caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot and everything he seems to do reflects just another shade of blue i saw him searching into you and ached a while i watch his lips caress the glass, his fingers stroke its stem and pass to lift a cigarette at last, he dries his eyes from a shadow by the stair i watch as he weeps unaware that i'm in awe of his despair, but i am there (chorus repeat |

Looking from a window above it's like a story of love
Can you hear me Came back only yesterday I'm moving further away Want you near me *All I needed was the love you gave All I needed for another day And all I ever knew Only you Sometimes when I think of her name when it's only a game And I need you Listen to the words that you say it's getting harder to stay When I see you *Repeat This is going to take a long time and I wonder what's mine Can't take no more Wonder if you'll understand it's just the touch of your hand Behind a closed door *Repeat |

She left on Sunday afternoon,
"It is the only way for everyone concerned" she said And I could only ask her why, But she just smiled and told me, one day I would learn "Don't you worry, this will all make sense tomorrow, Don't be sorry, that everything we shared will fade away There's so much to see in each new day, They'd never understand, I'm not an ordinary girl" She took nothing but her clothes Taking more would just remind her of her past, she said I thought I'd never laugh again On the day I said goodbye to my best friend And now I understand, she's just an ordinary girl |

You said I was sky and caught me anyway How could I ever know you burn all that you hold Now sing to the walls I've cared more I want to go, I want to stay, I want your name And I want nothing that you are Not even when you're moving me (And you're moving me) I want to talk, I want to sleep Want to get up and wash the rest of you away You never had me Satellite Maybe today I'll not wear you anymore I'll fold you away, lay you down where you belong Maybe you'll wake in time to break open a smile Wide and wild as the Humber Satellite Are you dancing tonight Are you burning as bright As the she-boy outside The firefly |

Could you wake me up when it's over Well maybe I'll sit this out, I think I know the score You read to me before Why wrap it up so precisely I know what you're bringing me, I keep them on the side With gone and nevermore Should I feel that it's over, all over And are you here when I hold you, I wonder You wanted days to remember September without the fall, a house without a wall A given in surprise I never match you for missing And you call this kissing, I feel closer to the sky You never ask me why Should I feel that it's over, all over (Dry your eyes, outside vermillion skies ease the lies Loose the ties that keep you under) And are you here when I hold you, I wonder (And I realise, when the sun is in your eyes it's no wonder) |

Every word's so fragile Inside passion that feels like chasing rain When the slowness of the day has gone Leaving shadowlike feelings to depend upon Every words so… Every word's so fragile Inside passion that feels like chasing rain You sleep like breathing You sleep like breath… gently And the tease cries Weeping listless laughter Always thirsty like an attractive flower When the danger in the touch is gone Changing delicate evenings to reflective ones And the tease cries Weeping listless laughter Always thirsty like an attractive flower You sleep like breathing You sleep like breath… gently |

She comes and look now how you are the fireside I'm watching, she's waiting to show you the pearls in her Betsy Clark eyes She sighs the whistling winds you sail in She cries and you are alive She's saying she's sorry and oh, So am I So am I For ninety seven days that should have been an hour I know it's all you can do when she's so very near Praise be the King of the settee and his Guinivere I'll get up and go out and no doubt You're giving it all to her, oh So am I So am I The ninety-seven days the fifteen blessed hours And it's easy as it goes, so am I How and hour of ninety days will soon run out of time The weight of the world has the head in your hands (She's Indian giving again) You're sorry and sick and you know So am I So am I The ninety seven days and fifteen sodding hours came to nothing Taken in? So was I She's going, going gone and you know that's fine And so am I |

It's over, there's nothing more to say
Silent comes the night time, end another summers day I can just remember, or is this the dream that never goes away. (Chorus) Understand me, I'm calling - Understand me, can you hear me call. Night time, surely it's a lie, No-one ever told me, I just let the chance go by Wishing there was time enough, you tell me there's no time, but I can try. (Chorus repeat) Speak now, without the summer light All the words I should have spoken, when you held me tight Still I'll keep in calling, till the morning ends another lonely night. (Chorus repeat) I'll be waiting for you hoping, that someday you'll hear me calling But there's never any answer, just the echo of the call |

High & dried, tyre rubber starts burning
Fill her up now before the table starts turning Souped up, jacked up, cracked up, stacked up Louie's got the gear And Charlie's got his back up And don't it make you feel good? Says she's a dirt box You're like a cannibal Somebody feeds her, sure ain't the State Farm Who buys the tickets and who buys the clothes Puts the liquor in her stomach and the powder up her nose Move. That's right And don't it make you feel good? Don't mind me honey I'm just looking Smelt your chicken And I watched you cooking Souped up, jacked up, cracked up, stacked up You're a bad stain And you need to be cleaned up And don't it make you feel good? And don't it make you feel good? ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By MOYET, ALISON/CLARKE, VINCENT Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC |

A wait in hope of every day
That changes come as changes may With every fear that I allay. I have a horror of this place Yet I'm accustomed to its face And I am safe within its maze But you leave me nothing in my home town And now you want to pull us down, But I can hope, and I can pray, and I will stay I traced my way from bluebell hill To the park, and further still, Onto the rise beyond the mounds. And from this point I can see My life in its entirety Mapped before me on the ground Let the cold air bite my face For I am angry at this place Wherein nothing stays the same. It breaks by heart to let you go When deep inside us we both know That you will not be back again. |

It's that ole devil called love again,
Gets behind me and keeps giving me the shove again, Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams, And rocks in my heart. It's that sly ole son of a gun again, He keeps telling me, I'm the lucky one again. But I still have that rain, still have those tears, And those rocks in my heart. S'pose I didnt stay - ran away - didn't play, The devil what a potion, he would brew. He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down, Till I'll be so bewildered, I wont know what to do. Might as well, give up the fight again. I know darn well, he'll convince me, that he's right again. When he sings that sorry song, I'm just gonna tag along, With that ole devil called love. He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down, Till I'll be so bewildered, I wont know what to do. Might as well, give up the fight again. I know darn well, he'll convince me that he's right again. When he sings that sorry song, I'm just gonna tag along, With that ole devil called love. by Alison moyet |

Packed up her suitcase started to run Looking for someone looking for none Pack up and drive away It was her birthday morning Realisation gradually dawning A man in a grey suit whispered 'I'm calling' Pack up and drive away Woman of thirth, husband and kids Chained like a dog she had to rid No point in coping off came the lid Pack up and drive away Three thousand miles of honesty dreaming Perfect imagery is a gleaming No more shattered clouds were deeming Pack up and drive away In her heart it wasn't easy Mumbled words and feeling dizzy Reasons fight against excuses Mothers have their ways and uses Driving slower she was losing Dream was stirring only dozing Eyelids awaken to the daytime Just an illusion broken sunshine Woman of thirty there's no choice I can't help your helpless voice |

What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life I have only one request of your life That you spend it all with me. All the seasons and the times of your days. All the nickels and the dimes of your days. Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days. All begin and end with me. I want to see your face, In every kind of light, In fields of gold and Forests of the night; And when you stand before The candles on a cake. Oh let me be the one to hear The silent wish you make. Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes In the world of love you keep in your eyes, I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes, It may take a kiss or two.. Through all of my life.. Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall of my life, All I ever will recall of my life Is all of my life with you. |

Should I be seen with you one more time?
My life is really on the line. His sister said she caught me out. If this gets back, I'm dead without a doubt. Try to ignore me each time we meet. Don't ever stop me in the street. He thinks I'm at the laundry mat. I can't stay here; he wants his washing back. So when I say that I don't know your face Don't feign surprise; don't betray me with your eyes. When I say that you are out of place, Don't let them see what you really are to me. Before this trouble blows sky-high, I have to find myself an alibi. Why do you have to get so uptight? There's no need to be so impolite. Just give me back my negatives, And I wont tell your wife about last night. So when I say that I don't know your face Don't feign surprise; don't betray me with your eyes. When I say that you are out of place, Don't let them see what you really are to me. |

Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel Like a snowball down a mountain Or a carnival balloon Like a carousel that's turning Running rings around the moon Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes of its face And the world is like an apple Rolling silently in space Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind Like a tunnel that you follow To a tunnel of its own Down a hollow to a cavern Where the sun has never shone Like a door that keeps revolving In a half-forgotten dream All the ripples from a pebble Someone tosses in a stream Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes of its face And the world is like an apple Rolling silently in space Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind Keys that jingle in your pocket Words that jangle in your head Why did summer go so quickly? Was it something that you said? Lovers walk along the shore Leave their footprints in the sand Is the sound of distant drumming Just the fingers of your hand? Pictures hanging in a hallway Or the fragment of this song Half-remembered names and faces But to whom do they belong? When you knew that it was over You Were suddenly aware That the autumn leaves were turning To the colour of his hair? Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel As the images unwind Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind |

Green in your love on bright days
You grew sunblind you thought me unkind To remind you how winter kills Lost in daydreams you drove too fast and got nowhere You rode on half fare when you got too scared How winter kills Tear at me searching for weaker seams Pain in your eyes makes me cruel Makes me spiteful tears are delightful welcome your nightfall How winter kills |

I can't begin to tell you how it feels
It's a clear blue sky Out here my heart so full it's fit to burst Just counting the hours Home, such a long way gone How to share a day, here's my only way Send myself to you Wishing you were here I can't begin to tell you where I've been It's a world behind And if we are to find our heaven here We just have to look harder Now I can see you I never could before, now I want nothing more When I close my eyes Wishing you were here Home such a long way gone How to share a day, here's my only way When I close my eyes Wishing you were here I can't begin to tell you how it feels |

I never meant to got his far
I take back every word I said Blame it on the weather Tell me that I'm soft in the head I never think before I speak C'mon let's start this day anew I never meant to do this I never meant to hurt you - You and I should not be fighting Life's too short for citing misdemeanors Couldn't we just laugh about it Do we have to let it come between us I never meant to got this far I don't believe what I just said I had one drink to many I think it's time I went to bed Tell me that we are on TV Tell me that none of this is true Why have you packed my cases Who said that I was leaving - You and I should not be fighting Life's too short for citing misdemeanors Couldn't we just laugh about it Do we have to let it come between us It's time that we both faced the fact I'm not begging to come back I don't believe you'd want me to I know that I'm not good enough I never will deserve your love But you haven't hear me through I can't do… without you |

Written by Moyet/Glenister
You want to wipe some space Onto the mirror for your face To get somebody coming back at you Lonely lonely lonely…and nothing's coming through If your heart isn't in it Pull away and start again If your heart isn't in it Pull away and start again Wait 'til you're ready Wait 'til you know Then you find yourself wondering What the waiting is for If your heart isn't in it Pull away and start again If your fire isn't taking Stamp it out and light again If your fire isn't taking Stamp it out and light again Here cos you're in it Stay for a while But you look in the mirror For the spark in your eye If your fire isn't taking Kick it out and light again If your heart isn't in it Pull away and love again If your heart isn't in it Pull away and love again Stay cos it's easy Stay cos it's here But you stay for a minute Then you stay for a year If your heart isn't in it Pull away and love again I guarantee it, you're gonna feel it No frown and no shame now Nothing's cold as yesterday's flame |

Written by Moyet/Glenister
Look at your face, it's like looking at mine This was our room when we used to know How to share ourselves in silence You don't have to go Feeling your hands, almost like mine This was our space, when we used to mind That we knew ourselves in silence You don't have to go All we gave away is never coming back All the love we made is anything but that And I feel, it's everything I know You don't have to go Look at your eyes, looking at mine These were our words when we used to know How to share ourselves in silence You don't have to go |

Is there something I should know?
It would help if you'd explain what's going on Could you help me understand? Just what it is that you accuse me of Cos from the moment that I wake up You're watching every move I make You got me wrong this time You got me wrong Has this foolishness a name [who?] Do I have to guess until I get it right And can anybody play Is there a limit on the floor tonight Because if you have no objections I'll get someone to take my place You got me wrong this time You got me wrong …And you will never know for sure Who I had stashed behind the bathroom door I know it's hard to be right But you'll never be wrong anymore Has this foolishness a name - keep it to yourself No hear no see no speak And nothings all you need to know You got me wrong this time You got me wrong |
