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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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) |

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) |

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 |

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 |

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 |

from Voices Of Love - Don'T Know Why (2005)
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 |

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 |

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?

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. |

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? |

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. |

Round,
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 |

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 |

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 |

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 Is this love? |

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 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 |

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… |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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 |

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 |

Oh, its a long time since I saw 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. |

Don't desert me now Where hides sleep you're tormenting me Don't forsake me now Take hole of my soul and pull me into darkness Cover me over and styfle my anguish Where hides sleep she's avoiding me Don't evade me now Where hides sleep please don't torture me Don't forsake me now I open my lips to your warm ancient potion I would be still and devoid of emotion For I would be slumber that I could be rest Curl in warm embers of such peacefulness Caressed by oblivion and swallowed by dreams I want you to hold me and cover my eyes From the cold distant daylight Holds no surprise |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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?

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 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. |

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 |

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 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 |

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. |

Oh, its a long time since I saw you
Well you know how time can fly It seems like yesterday we were lovers Now we pass each other by But if we're left alone tonight, don't ask me to hold you tight I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty All my friends, keep asking why I'm quiet while you're around? They dont know I think I'm so lucky to stop myself from falling down So later if you're on your own Don't ask me to take you home I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty Cause if were left alone tonight I'll have no choice but to hold you tight I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty I go weak, darling, I love you I go weak, theres no doubt about it I go weak, I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty I go weak, youre my world I go weak, I used to be your girl I go weak I go weak weak in the presence of beauty... |

When she said that you were through
I thought that there was nothing that I could d Just because she ran right here Doesn't mean I interfered Now I'm wondering of we can feel the same Cause she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting She once told me how she felt Didn't just want me to hear it from someone else There were unknowns she couldn't know But she hoped you two would grow And when you didn't she was brought to me in pain And she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting If it's just a little fling a simple thing I'll try not to pretend If it's just for jealousy she's using me That might be hard to mend Oh what else can I do But try to give her more than she got from you And when she wakes up suddenly and she says you name to me I'll just hope its force of habit and not need Cause she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting Oh tell me what is fair When nothing's wrong And she just stares Like she's just waiting |

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 |

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.

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] |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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? |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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

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. |

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 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 |

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… |

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 |

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 |

Where hides sleep is she watching me
Don't desert me now Where hides sleep you're tormenting me Don't forsake me now Take hole of my soul and pull me into darkness Cover me over and styfle my anguish Where hides sleep she's avoiding me Don't evade me now Where hides sleep please don't torture me Don't forsake me now I open my lips to your warm ancient potion I would be still and devoid of emotion For I would be slumber that I could be rest Curl in warm embers of such peacefulness Caressed by oblivion and swallowed by dreams I want you to hold me and cover my eyes From the cold distant daylight Holds no surprise |
