You took your time to come back this time
The grass has grown under your feet
In your absence I changed my mind
And someone else is sitting in your seat

I know that I said there'd be no one else
I know that I said I'd be true
But baby, I've burned out cupid's arrow
And here's the short and the narrow
I've nothing left to offer you

I'm all cried out
You took a whole lot of loving
For a handful of nothing
(All cried out)
It's hard to give you something
When you're pushing and a-shoving me around

So don't look surprised
There was no disguise
You knew where I stood from the start
So stop
Look around you
You're right back where I found you
Take back your cold and empty heart

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. You 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

Morning this morning the curtains are shut
I'll ring you in the morning but the phone's been cut
Can you hear me
I've been calling all day
Can you hear me
The radio reporter said the line's all dead
He told me that I oughta write a letter instead
Can you hear me
I've been calling all day
Can you hear me

*I'd wish they'd fix the wires cause my baby don't know
That I'm leaving in the morning and I'm ready to go
Can you hear me
Can you hear me at all
Gotta get the operator make a telephone call

And if I write a letter it won't get there on time
I'll only reach you baby on the telephone line
Can you hear me
I've been calling all day
Can you hear me
My car's all ready and my bags are all packed
I'm late already and I won't be back
Can you hear me
I've been calling you all day
Can you hear me

*Repeat

Ooo can you hear me

Don't cry
Please don't cry
I will take you somewhere
Where they cant hurt you
I wont let them hurt you now
Let them know that our love knows no shame
And we'll do it time and time and time again
'Till everything comes down

I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
Blow wind blow
Blow dust into their eyes and
Make them see that they have always been blind

Touch me
I want to wrap you in my arms and
you'll have no reason for crying
Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow
Blow dust into their eyes and help them
realise that they have always been blind
And I could show you something that you would never believe
You could never conceive the joy that I could give you

Take me
Take me
Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow dust into their eyes and
let them know that nothing that we do will ever
Never be forgotten

Blow wind blow
Blow
Blow
Blow wind blow

Don't cry
Please don't cry
I will take you somewhere
Where they cant hurt you
I wont let them hurt you now
Let them know that our love knows no shame
And we'll do it time and time and time again
'Till everything comes down

I'm not afraid

Blow wind blow

Make them see that they have always been blind

Touch me

How are you, can I look a little closer
Well let me introduce you to
Say how d'you do believer
So tell me is he young enough
Or could it be hung up enough
And does he help to keep it up when he's handing
It out to please you
Do you ever think the night away
How about the day ain't it getting long
These eggshell hearts you're tripping on

Oh when you've got money you can build a bomb
Oh it's beautiful, touching up your lonely nights
Oh how you shine when you throw all the suckers on
Tired of every single one

Oh you're filth, you're filth, you're filthy
And someone' gonna hose you down
You're gonna be sorry for the way you whore a life around
Now tell me he is young enough
Or could it be hung up enough
Or maybe just hung up enough to keep it up when you're flagging
Do you ever soak the night away
How about the day ain't it getting long
These eggshell hearts you're tripping on

You say it's time to leave now babe I can't believ
That you have the strenght to go now
I won't stand in your way I'd be standing there all day
Ain't that something we both know now
You play your games but the fact remains
I'm the only one that can hold your reins

*Didn't I bring your love down
Didn't I bring your love down all night

If you think you need a change well I'm sure we can arrange
For you to get on your own for a while
But I don't need to worry 'cause you'll get back in a hurry
I know that you like my style
You play your games but the fact remains
I'm the only one that can hold your reins

*Repeat

(Henderson-Dixson)

Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is he
Bye bye blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Written by Carlton McCarthy

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

Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Love just like addiction now I'm hooked on you
I need some time to get it right
Your love gonna see me through

*Can't stop now don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Baby make your mind up give me what you got
Fix me with your lovin' shut the door and turn the lock
Hey go get the doctor, doctor came to late
Another night I feel alright my love for you can't wait

*Repeat

Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Said he was a killer, now I know it's true
I'm dead when you walk out the door
Hey babe I'm hooked on you

*Repeat

I'm running up the stairs
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

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

Ready to embrace the day as we both break
When the light stole in it found me wide-awake
Wasted from the sleepless night I wished to touch your hair
Withdraw an empty hand for you're no longer there
In between the silence living is an empty space
Save the ticking of the clock whose hands are sweeping past its face

And I just don't want to be lonely -no no
Night and day
But as I look around me I just feel that way
For you only

I turned my hand to something that would clear my head
But I could not forget the parting words we shared
I opened up my mind to all the pictures I could trace
But I could not recall the contours of your face

And always slipped away before I had the chance to say
If I did something wrong please tell I'd accept the blame

I just don't want to be lonely -Night and day
But as I look around me I just feel that way
For you only

For you're no longer there
For you're no longer there
In between the silence living is an empty space
Save the ticking of the clock whose hands are sweeping past its face

I just don't want to be lonely -Night and day
But as I look around me I just feel that way
For you only

Ready to embrace the day as we both break
When the light stole in it found me wide-awake
Wasted from the sleepless night I wished to touch your hair

I just don't want to be lonely -Night and day
But as I look around me I just feel that way
For you only

I'm getting into something
You got me into something good
Like I knew you would
I'm moving into something
You move me into something easy
And it pleases me
Took me by surprise
I never saw the light
Until you turned it on
You got me into something
God knows I'm hitting on life
And I wonder why the sun ain't shining where you are you know
It's alright baby it ain't over
Oh it's only ours to loose
What is gone well we can't use together
So it's alright baby it aint over
I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm getting into something
You got me into something wild
And I'm getting high
I'm pulling into something
You pull me into something deeper
Oh it's deeper now
Took me by surprise
I never thought that I would give it out again
You got me into something
God knows I wanna be as close as I'll ever be
Something's getting into me
You know it's alright baby it aint over
Oh it's only ours to loose
What is gone well we can't use together
So it's alright baby it aint over
I didn't mean to hurt you
It was nothing
I was dreaming
But I'd rather live believing

The time you got addictive
I was somewhere getting used
When you were self-abusive
I put out and got abused
With you I don't feel the need to qualify my life
Lets get it on before it's gone
Just meet me at the corner cos it's alright

Baby it aint over
Oh it's only ours to loose
What is gone well we can't use together
So it's alright baby it aint over
I didn't mean to hurt you
It was nothing
I was dreaming
But I'd rather live believingGetting Into Something

I'm getting into something
You got me into something good
Like I knew you would
I'm moving into something
You move me into something easy
And it pleases me
Took me by surprise
I never saw the light
Until you turned it on
You got me into something
God knows I'm hitting on life
And I wonder why the sun ain't shining where you are you know
It's alright baby it ain't over
Oh it's only ours to loose

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.

Came in from the city
wakled into the door
I turned around when I heard
The sound of footsteps on the floor.
Love just like addiction now I'm hooked on you

I need some time to get it right

Your love gonna see me through.
Can't stop now
don't you know

I ain't never gonna let you go - don't go!
Baby
make your mind up
give me what you got

Fix me with your lovin shut the door and turn the lock.
Hey

doctor came too late

Another night I feel alright my love for you can't wait.
Can't stop now
don't you know

I ain't never gonna let you go - don't go!
Came in from the city
walked into the door
I turned around when I heard
The sound of footsteps on the floor.
Said he was a killer
now I know it's true

I'm dead when you walk out the door
hey babe
I'm hooked
Can't stop now
don't youl know
...
Can't stop now
don't you know
. . .
Can't stop now. don't you know

To your credit to the thirty faces you created
To your headache to the shape of the 1980's
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of playing in your fashion war

To the lights to the trend setting in your head
Sunday night tears from youth cults already dead
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of fighting in your fashion war

*Goodbye Seventies

To your credit to the thirty faces you created
To your subscription for the million copies of 1980
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of losing in your fashion war

Gone is the last stain of ink from the sky
Somebody's talking and won't tell you why
So you ask them to stay when you want them to fly
And you try not to think of tomorrow's goodbye

Hometime hometime
Oh how I long to see a friend of mine
Somewhere he's still waiting
Somewhere his heart's saying
She will be coming for me
She'll be coming for me

Hometime hometime
I'll know his name and he'll remember mine
Let him be just for me
Let him be poetry
Wait for me patiently
Wait for me

Hometime hometime
Oh how I long to see a friend of mine
Somewhere he's still waiting
Watching the door for his "she"
To be calling…it's me
And this morning is free

Hey!
Here I am
And I want you to see baby
I wanna watch you watchin me in motion
To taste the secret side of me
Every time I look at you, I know
You're fighting your emotions
Now you have no choice but to let go
And dive into my ocean

Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweeeeet
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet
Yeah

Hold my hand
I'm going to set you free baby
I'm gonna let fly all over me
Show me a lock, I'll show you the key
Every time you feel like holding back
I'm gonna pull you deeper
Always straying from the beaten track
And I will be the reaper

Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweeeeet
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet
Yeah

Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweeeeet
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet
Yeah

Sugar............, Sugar............, Sugar............, Sugar............

Every time I look at you
I know you're fighting your emotions
Now you have no choice but to let go
And dive into my ocean

Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweeeeet

Sugar never was so sweet
Yeah

Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweeeeet

If you don't come back to me
You'll have saved me goodbyes
My escape would be neat
I won't lose a minute's sleep
Recovering what we made and meant not to keep
Life is Sweet
Can it fail to astound me
How it surrounds me
And I won't steal to breathe
If you never came back to me

If you don't come back to me
I won't measure by you every man that I see
When next by chance we meet
I'll pass you by and not care if you're watching me
Life is Sweet
How it spins me around
Something's lost, something's found
And I won't hit the ground
If you never came back to me

Can it fail to astound me
How it surrounds me
And I won't steal to breathe
If you never came back to me

I stand alone and watch the clock
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

You've got me so confused and there's word I could use
But I'm afraid to say them.
I feel I've been had and i'm boiling mad

Still I can't live without you.
You don't have the time and you won't spend a dime
Not even to call me.
You don't know I exist and I wouldn't be missed
If I had the nerve to quit you.

Invisible - I feel like I'm invisible.
You treat me like I'm not really there
and you don't really care.
I know this romance
it ain't going nowhere.
Invisible just like my love. You treat me like I'm invisible.
When you get the need to flirt you do your worst

You just don't care how much it hurts.

I can never reach you on the phone
it rings and rings
But I know you're home.
It may be naive but I just want to believe I'm the only one.
I tell myself lies and give you alibies

Knowing your promises you'll never keep
like the merry go round

I'm going up
I'm going down
I'm on a dead end street.

Invisible just like my love
I feel like I'm invisible.
You treat me like I'm not really there
and you don't really care.
I know this romance
it ain't going nowhere.
Although I know it's not a lot
don't want to lose whatever we got.
I keep hanging on knowing I can't win
'Cause it's too hard start over again.
Invisible - I feellike I'm invisible. . . .
Invisible just like my love.

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

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

Je crois entendre encore
Cache sous les palmiers
Sa voix tendre et sonore
Comme un chant de ramiers.
Oh nuit enchanteresse
Divin ravissement
Oh souvenir charmant,
Folle ivresse, doux reve!

Aux clartes des etoiles
Je crois encor la voir
Entr'ouvrir ses longs voiles
Aux vents tiedes du soir.
Oh nuit enchanteresse
Divin ravissement
Oh souvenir charmant
Folle ivresse, doux reve!

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?

Love letters straight
from your heart
Keep us so near
while apart

I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love
that you write
I memorize every line
And I kiss the name
that you sign
And darling then
I read again
right from the start
Love letters straight
from your heart

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name
that you sign
And darling then
i read again
right from the start
Love letters straight
from your heart

What can I do to make light of this dull dull day
What switch can I pull to illuminate the way
Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

We all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)
We all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)

What seed must I sow to replenish this barren land
Teach me to harvest, I want you to grow in my hand

If we pull together we'll never fall apart again

(just a little divine intervention)

What seed must I sow to replenish this barren land
Teach me to harvest, I want you to grow in my hand
Let's be optimistic, let's say that we won't toil in vain
If we pull together we'll never fall apart again

We all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)
We all need a love resurrection
(just a little divine intervention)

Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

Midnight it's raining outside he must be soaking wet
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...

Into your car park drive obsolete motors
With petrol consumption at too higher price
Sell us through windows at backroom board meetings
Blindfolded and handcuffed and in single file

On your money mile
We are the faceless, the nameless, the homeless
On your money mile
There in your fortress where you couldn't care less
On your money mile
We are the caseless, the raceless, the hopeless
On your money mile
You were caught in the crossfire hauling the flag right down

Send us to battle send us to the frontline
Point us at the enemy
Lest we forget
It's for our protection that we lay here slaughtered
It's for our survival we bury our dead

On your money mile
We are the faceless, the nameless, the homeless
On your money mile
There in your fortress where you couldn't care less
On your money mile
We are the caseless, the raceless, the hopeless
On your money mile
You were caught in the crossfire hauling the flag right down

On your money mile…

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

like an old man slowly dying
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...

(repeat above chorus

If I wait for just a second more
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

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...

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

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

When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
Intent and direct when he speaks
I watch his lips
When he drives I love to watch his hands
White and smooth almost feminine
Almost American
I have to watch him

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 her 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 the shadows by the stair
I watch as he weeps unaware
That I'm in awe of his despair

When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
Intent and direct when he speaks
I watch his lips
When he drives I love to watch his hands
White and smooth almost feminine
Almost American
I have to watch him

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 her 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 the shadows by the stair
I watch as he weeps unaware
That I'm in awe of his despair

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

Looking from the window above
Its like a story of love.
Can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday,
Moving farther 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.

All I needed was the love you gave.
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew;
Only you.

All I needed was the love you gave.
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew;
Only you.

This is gonna take a long time
And I wonder what's mine.
Can't take no more. (Can't take no more)
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand,
Behind closed doors.

All I needed was the love you gave.
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew; (All I ever knew)
Only you.

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

She left on Sunday afternoon,
"It is the only way for everyone concerned" she said

You were alight and I wouldn't look away
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

Written by Carlton McCarthy/Ed White

I have come to a time
When I must really decide
Love you gave so complete
I want you back

Hear me when I call
Hold me like before
Play the changing forms
Into sleep we fall
And we wake to love adored
Tell me that it's so
When I look at you
Through the eyes of love

And I'm missing you
Say you miss me too
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it,
Say it, say it

Everything feels right
Tenderness invites
Love you gave so complete
I want you back

Hear me when I call
Hold me like before
Play the changing forms
Into sleep we fall

And I'm missing you
Say you miss me too
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it,
Say it, say it

Written by Moyet/Glenister

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)

Blue eyed dressed for every situation
Moving through the doorway of a nation
Pick me up and shake the doubt
Baby I can't do without

*Move out, don't mess around
Move out, you bring me down
Move out, how you get about
Don't make a sound just move out

I remember only for an hour
Move right through me can you feel the power
I don't know what's going on
It scares me but it won't be long

*Repeat

Now he's in control he is my lover
Nations stand against him he's your brother
Been a long time, been a long time now
I'll get to you somehow

*Repeat

blue eyed dressed for every situation
moving through the doorway of a nation

No easy about it
Born to a mountain slide
You're gonna learn to take a dive

No easy about it
I won't tell you not to need it
Cos you don't want no chatter now
Wears you down just to sit it out
And you don't want to hear a thing about
What he should but doesn't think about
When you wanted him without a doubt

You learn to skate on something this cold
And down the hills that summer used to fill with honey flowers
That I know you could never bear to carry home
Are deep in snow

(All that I want)
Everything I ever wanted
(All that I need)
(All that I have)
Everything I ever wanted
(All I believe)
Is sitting down here with me
Feeling like a bad man
(Feeling like a bad man)

Do I love you only
You are the child I wanted
You are dear
And down the hills that summer used to fill with honey flowers
You could never bear to carry home
Are deep in snow

You learn to skate on
Something's cold
You're free a little moment to feel

Do I love you only
You are the child I wanted
You are dear
And down the hills that summer used to fill with honey flowers
You could never bear to carry home
Are deep in snow

(You learn to skate on)

Every words so…
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

Every words so…
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

Our room across is a mile wide
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

Some days every word gets in our way
You don't make sense of what I say
And every answer begs another question why
I didn't want to

Maybe I could have changed the way it was
I could have made much more of us
And if I failed perhaps it wasn't just because
I didn't want to

Don't take it as a sign
The stars were out of line
But heaven knows
Whoever I was then
She won't be back again so let her go
But you I wouldn't change
I wouldn't change
I wouldn't change you if I could
It's understood
They got hardboard I got solid wood

Somehow if I am wont to take my time
If I dig in where I should mine
It doesn't build a case for your friends to decide
I didn't want you
Don't take it on yourself

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?

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.

A wait in hope of every day

With every fear that I allay.

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

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.

Well my friends I feel it's time
To reassess the situation and decide what's mine
Every time you steal me blind
With no consideration for the way I feel inside

And you just look at me like you don't understand
How could we, how could we let it get so out of hand

Don't steal me blind

You my friends would bleed me dry
And with no hesitation you would pass me by
And you keep telling me that you don't understand
What's the use there's no point in building on sand

Don't steal me blind

Well my friends I feel it's time
There's a fortune in friendship

Well my friends I feel it's time
To reassess the situation and decide what's mine
Every time you steal me blind
With no consideration for the way I feel inside

And you just look at me like you don't understand
How could we, how could we let it get so out of hand

Don't steal me blind

And with no hesitation you would pass me by
And you keep telling me that you don't understand

Hey, hey, hey, sweet thing

When you were lying to me all the time
You don't need me now your life is fine
It's your day now, but it's gonna be mine
Oh and what a sweet day.

What a dream
I could feel everything
Silk of softnesses
Why alone I'll be lonely with you
Do I want for diamond skies

Will You take of me
Will you take of me

Not a sound I would hear everything
Everything I hear
Lay me down
Dance can we?
Cast as one into the sea
Will you take of me

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.

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gift you gave
To the dark and empty skies (my love)

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command
(My love... That was there at my command)

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat over mine
And I thought our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
And last to the end of time

I know a good dance when the mood is right
You can do it by day you can do it by night
It can be so fine and you'll agree
If you just to what comes naturally now

*Baby it's the other side of love
Baby it's the other side of love
Baby it's the other side of love
Baby, baby

There's plenty of ways we can do that thing
We can fool around till we get that swing
Come on do what you want honey we don't mind
If you just make sure that you stay in time now

*Repeat

Know a good dance when the mood is right
You can take it slow 'cause we've got all night
It can be so fine and you'll agree
If you just to what comes naturally now

I've been keeping you safe inside for the longest time
I've being trying to keep alive the paper kisses you sign
And even now when any body breathes you name
I prepare to feel that pain
Bearing down like the train coming through in a minute
Oh it's war, it's farce, it's cinema
It's one long ride an inch too far

The louder you scream, the faster you go
The more that you learn the less that you know
I brought a ticket and there's no way I can ride but alone
But somewhere it stops and that's letting go

Didn't want to be right tonight, you were out of line
I made a meal of this mess of mine for the very last time
And one day when you stumble, I won't break your fall
It won't hurt any more
But I'll ride on the train coming through in a minute
Going south and on so let it come
The train I ride won't always run

I got a ticket and it's going to take a while, going slow
But it's going to stop and that's letting go
I took my chances and I'm going to have to go with the flow
But somewhere it stops and that's letting go

Whose sticky hands are these
And what is this empty place
I could be happily lost
But for your face
Here stands an empty house
That used to be full of life
Now it's home for no one
And his wife
It's a hovel and

(Who)
Who can take your place
I can't face another day
And
(Who)
Who will shelter me
It's cold in here
Cover me

Under these fingertips
A strange body rolls and dips
I close my eyes
And you're here again
Later as day descends
I'll shout from my window
To anyone listening
I'm losing

(Who)
Who can take your place
I can't face another day
And
(Who)
Who will shelter me
It's cold in here
Cover me

Oh, in a plague of hateful questioning
Tap dancing every syllable from ear to ear
I hear the din of lovers jousting
When I'm hiding with my head to the wall
So

(Who)
Who will shelter me
It's cold in here.

Write me a letter a face in the hall
Hiding from someone afraid of the fall
And she's waiting for someone to take her back to where she came from
And she'll wait alone for hours she won't mind because there's someone
In the story she remembers she remembers in the letter
And the tears locked up inside her make her heart break open wider
Shuts her eyes and takes the picture from the wall

Woman of thirty seeing the sun
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

I watch it trickle from your lips
Pearls of ruby red soaking up your head until you want to push through
And then the world turns red
And the wine tastes sour
Pushing back the hand until the midnight hour

Every door is closing behind you
There's no one left to come and find you
You're soaking wet but the file won't dry you
I'd like to help but I cant stand by

And watch you twisting the knife
They've got you wasting your life
Can't stop you twisting the knife

Id rather turn out all the lights than see you like this
Caress me with your anger
Sting me with your kiss
You've been pushing too hard
I've been trying too long
Now I don't believe I have the will to carry on
You take it one step forward
Then it's two steps back
I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped
Its other people make you insecure
I won't surrender like I did before

And watch you twisting the knife
They've got you wasting your life
Can't stop you twisting the knife
Surrender like I did before
Twisting the knife

Sting me with your kiss
You take it one step forward
Then it's two steps back
I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped
Its other people make you insecure
I won't surrender like I did before

And watch you twisting the knife
They've got you wasting your life
Can't stop you twisting the knife
