from Hit Bank Volume 3 (0000)
Not for the first time I look back on all those years. Not for the last time names will ring in my ears. When there was just a gang of us, storming the town by train and bus. A moment of thought this heart sends to old friends. Not for the first time I look back on my first love. Unable to speak or think or move, hand in glove. But what of it now and where is (s)he, (s)he who once meant so much to me? Because we are not, I can't pretend, now old friends. I was told love should hold old friends. I was told love should hold old friends. But when you leave you will close the door behind you - don't we always? - and time won't make amends to old friends. Standing here with my arm around you, life's moved on, and all its borderlines are being redrawn. The winter has come, the roads are white. Everyone's home late tonight. May we stay or will it depend, as old friends? In the end, still old friends? |

Apron strings hanging so empty,
crazy things my body tells me, I want someone to tie to my apron strings. Apron strings waiting for you, pretty things that I could call you, I want someone to tie to my lonely apron strings. Your baby looks just like you when you were young, and he looks at me with eyes that shine and I wish that he were mine, then I go home to my apron strings, cold and lonely, for time brings thoughts that only will be quiet when someone clings to my apron strings. And I'll be perfect in my own way when you cry I will be there, I'll sing to you and comb your hair, all your troubles I will share. For apron strings can be used for other things than what they're meant for, and you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings, you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings. |

don't talk to me in that familiar way
when the keys are in my hand don't say that everything is here to stay and I must try to understand when I'm trying not to look into your eyes trying not to listen to your lies trying just to keep hold of myself oh but it's hard when you leave me on the shelf you say that I set a path for you to follow and I've already given in but I only meant for you to taste not swallow where I end is where you must begibn so try not to look into their eyes try not to listen to their lies try just to keep hold of yourself oh I know it's hard when they leave you on their shelf she's such a sweet girl free of the taints of this world think that's a compliment don't be so full of sentiment why you worship sweetness what virtue's there in weakness being pushed about is nothing much to shout about I know |

If you ever feel the time to drop me a loving line
maybe you should just think twice I don't wait around on your advice You tell me I can go this far, but no more Try to show me heaven and then slam the door You offer shelter at a price much too dear And your kind of love's the kind that soon disappears So don't brag how you have changed And everything's been rearranged I thought all that was over and done But I still get the same from Each and Everyone Being kind is just a way to keep me under your thumb and I can cry because that's something we've always done you tell me I'm free of the past now and all those lies then offer me the same thing in a different guise |

I won't try to stop you
When you speak of the past Doubt is over now And I can join in when you laugh Facination makes us ask for more Than we'd like to know I needn't explain I think you know Reaassure me when my hearts Not bold enough to bear her name If you were in my shoes And scared I would do the same And though I may ask There's no need for past details Although I may laugh alone My courage fails Did you know See how I've changed now My heads so clear Still there are some things That I don't want to hear There must be so much I know That you cannot forget And I mustn't wish your life began The day we met They say as we go remind you Of when you were here before So you talk and tell me You don't think about it anymore There is something I know Hasn't quite been left behind So I'll ask you once again To prove that I don't mind To prove that I don't mind |

You take the name of a man you hardly know
and then you grow up and that name has to go married with kids and they don't want to know about the dreams you had let go You're still waiting for a knight in shining armour to steal you against your will and while you're waiting and doing no harm you know there's plenty of time to kill when you say you wouldn't change a day makes me wonder where I went astray satisfied with things that leave me tired we're as unlike as Frost and Fire And now yourself you start to see in me pictures of things you could've been torches I find I am bearing for you when you know you could've carried them too we give up so easily what little they leave us to lose and if I didn't have the fire to struggle I could freeze your shoes when you say you wouldn't change a day makes me wonder where I went astray satisfied with things that leave me tired We're as unlike as Frost and Fire |

You kissed my head as you stood in the door
And then you said: "don't want to see you no more" All I could say as you walked out on me Was how I hoped you'd remembered your key Took one last look Took the phone of the hook I must confess I agree All o those days when I went through a phase Of missing the love that you bore In retrospect there's something I can't neglect I was missing a love but not yours The love that you bore that thing that I once adored Was no gift that you gave me each time Thinking again, what a fool I was then It was a trophy of yours and a burden of mine |

There's a brown shirt swapped for a thin blue tie
There's a black truth swapped for a thin blue lie There's a slim man sporting a clean cut dream There's a slim man courting a wide extreme There's a fly-blown flag in a dry-bone town There will be no ships because they've all gone down There's a man with a medal but he'll never sleep There are guns in his head, they say the war was cheap There are heaped up dreams on the mounds of slag There are moped up tears as the hours drag There's a suitcase gone and there's an empty drawer There's a broken cup lying on the floor There are questions asked in the house tonight There's a wife been involved in a pillow fight There's a husband there who she hardly knows There's a patched up dream for a winter rose There's a soft touch finally come to blows |

restless while every silence screams and still she sleep turned to the wall he fears the onslaught of his dream touches her back but she doesn't stir then round her hand his finger close feeling the ring that cost more than the car all of those questions that never arose and still she lies awake at night silently stares at the bedroom wall feeling his hand dare to touch her back it's been a month since ha started to paint the hall and brightly burns the landing light the baby's screaming down the hall she shuts her eyes and she shuts her ears she's had up to here because it's not his baby after all |

spending time with him again
intending to put things back when they were alright just when we reach dry land why must it all get out of hand again tonight drinking till my tongue got loose and thinking that the way it used to be was wrong staying till the evening's wrecked by saying things just for effect, went on too long I used to think that you were all that kept me sane when all else failed now I think you were probably what drove me off the rails talking with our voices raised walking home to silent days and tears I said would rather shout for after all what's love to cry about I used to think you would hold out best of us all am I flattering myself or was I the one who made you cynical? |

something has come between me and the world that knew
what I thought wild last is falling apart in the face of something new how can I explain that I had no choice the sound of the waves fills her ears and drowns out my voice and I'm just too far away for her to believe what I say she couldn't hear me, she wouldn't listen anyway how can I write a letter the post is so slow if I'm to disappoint her then that's something she ought to know I can just hear her voice fall as I wait here alone how can so much harm be done by just two minutes spent on the phone you say that things will get better but she would hate me if I let her and she reads so much in every word that I say I thought that being apart would lust bring us some variety but after some time it seems clear that she's changed in a different way from me and I would like to shout at someone but no one's to blame it's just her it's just me and everything that is just not the same sometimes I would turn back the clock and recapture all that we've lost but I couldn't give up all that we have today |

You don't know what's wrong, you only know it isn't right.
You don'tremember for how long, but you wake in tears at night. Big Deal You spend four nights a week now looking for your inner child. What you gonna say when you find him? Suppose you don't like him or he doesn't like you? Suppose once you wake him up he won't go back to bed and wants to say up late watching TV? But you say there must be some reason why you feel this way. Big deal, that's the way we all feel. Big deal what is it you wanna feel? You say you wanna get cured, you wanna turn off your head. Oh and you say it hurts, and you feel unsure. First you doubt yourself and then you doubt her. Big deal, that's the way we all feel. What is it you wanna feel? I don't think you wanna feel. |

London, summer
I think I've changed a lot since then, Do you Ideas that I'd held for years, emotional baggage, hopes and fears, Seen somehow in a different light, not as wrong , but not as right as they seemed before. Was I different then Have I changed And will I change again I'm thinking of a mental free-fall, a partial total memory recall like what of the future, what of the past, what of the present will last And say I did forget and revert to the old days, forget this hurt Am I better off or in reverse, untaught by experience and therefore worse I mean a lot, I mean a little. I mean a lot, I mean a little. I'm like a coastline, a beach and spit. Spurn Point and the rest of it. The sea, the tide, the salt and foam. I'm the blasted land, the sand shifting, drifting out and back, then breached drowned, defenses down, rebuilt from this day on. Or maybe not, maybe my moment's gone. I mean a lot, I mean a little. I mean a lot, I mean a little. Am I the same person I seemed to be Does all of this depress me? I won't listen, I won't talk. A weightless life, I moonwalk. I mean a lot, I mean a little. I'm supple, brittle, pig in the middle. There's resilience inside my face, but sometimes nothing. Deep space. What I feel and what I fear is always here my atmosphere. Pig in the middle I mean a lot, I mean a little I mean a lot, I mean a little |

You always cover for me, won't you.....won't you? And this used to look half-full, now some days it looks half-empty And some days it feels like nothing, it always used to feel like plenty It's wrong to feel this way, I know it's wrong, I know it's bad To only see what isn't there, to want and want and never have But you know there's more to me now, don't you?

You never knew the teenage me and you
would not believe the things you didn't see, some pretty, some ugly. And the lovely mirrorball reflected back them all - every triumph, every fight, under disco light. Come on girl, it's alright. Come on girl, it's alright now. Come on girl, it's gonna be alright now. Well I guess some boys adored me but the one I loved ignored me, and caused me in the end to murder my best friend. And though I got her letter, it never did get better, and I got out of my head. Then I joined a band instead. Some good times I remember - my birthday that September, we lay down on the lawn, and counted until dawn the stars that we lay under. And is he still, I wonder, the fairest of them all, mirror, mirrorball? Come on girl, it's too late. Come on girl, it's too late now. Let it all go. It's gonna be alright now. Oh it's never gonna be alright. But it's too late now. Let it all go. 'Cause it's never gonna be alright |

Am I coming back? I'll put my suitcase here for now I'll turn the TV to the bed But if no one calls and I don't speak all day Do I disappear?

I dreamed about you again last night. You never have the same face twice, but I always know it's you, and you're always looking better than you really do. Than you really do. And I walk around the whole next day feeling like I've still got something to say. But I don't know what it is, and I don't know how to reach you even if I did. Even if I did. Do I wanna hear that you forgive me? Do I wanna hear you're no good without me? Am I big enough to hear that you never even even think about me? Why should you ever think about me? And I thought that I'd outgrow this kind of thing. Tell me, aren't we supposed to mature or something? I haven't found that yet, is this as grown-up as we ever get? Maybe this is as good as it gets. And years may go by, but I think the heart remains a child. The mind may grow wise, but the heart just sulks and it whines and remains a child. I think the heart remains a child. Why don't you love me? Why don't you love me? Why don't you love me? |

I don't want excuses.
I don't want your smiles. I don't want to feel like we're apart a thousand miles. I don't want your attitude. I don't want your things. But I don't want a 'phone that never rings. I want your love and I want it now. I don't want your history. I don't want that stuff. I want you to shut your mouth. That would be enough. And I don't care if you've been here before. You don't understand - tonight I feel above the law and I'm coming in to land. I want your love and I want it now. My heart is that much harder now. That's what I thought before today. My heart is that much harder now. And I thought that it would stay that way, before today. Before today. I don't want a 'phone that never rings. I want your love and I want it now. |

And I never, no I never ever realised. And I never, no I never ever realised. (Come on, come on, it's there at your feet)..... |

Look at you now, you're disenchanted, can't believe how things can change. Take a little out of life and things get strange. And now you find the wishes you were granted, things you thought were in your hands, have slipped away. How much can you withstand? The wasted time, the money spent, a sign that reads "For sale or rent". And everything is at a standstill, and where's someone who'll be on hand till you're no longer disenchanted, thinking everything is wrong? You know you're not the only one to wait so long. I wonder, can you try again? Are you that strong? |

I never thought I'd grow up so fast so far.
To know yourself is to let yourself be loved. And I want to be addicted I want to be secure I want to wake up after the night before but do you ever get me? Do you ever get me? I'll press your hand against my face weaken my resistance. I'll pull the sheets over our heads let the broken sky break above our heads. And I want to be addicted I want to be secure, I want to wake up after the night before, but do you get me? Do you ever get me? Shower me with affection and I'll return in kind. I have no hidden motive, I am blind. I'm a stone inside a box, I'm a spring inside a clock, you can wear me on your wrist and I'll tell you things ten thousand times, but do you ever get me? Do you ever get me |

What is it that I think I need?
Is there love in me that wants to be freed? Or is it selfishness and ego we carry with us everywhere that we go? This feeling that life's incomplete do you feel that too? Do you want what I want? And if I should start to cry, and I can't begin to tell you why, and I stumble when I begin, it's cause I don't understand anything. People say that we're so close, how can there be something that I don't know. Oh but even though I share your bed, baby, I don't get inside your head. This feeling of some mystery do you feel that too? Do you know what I mean? And if I should start to cry, and I can't begin to tell you why, and I stumble when I begin, it's cause I don't understand anything. Watch me stumble, watch me slip My fingers loose their grip. Now I'm down on my knees, Is that what you wanted to see? What is it that I think I need? What is it that I think I need? And if I should start to cry, and I can't begin to tell you why, and I stumble when I begin, it's cause I don't understand anything. You reach for me from miles away, you reach for me from miles away. |

Now you've disappeared somewhere, like outer space, you've found some better place, and I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain. Could you be dead? You always were two steps ahead of everyone. We'd walk behind while you would run. I look up at your house, and I can almost hear you shout down to me, where I always used to be, and I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain.

I still haven't got over it even now. I want to spend huge amounts of time on my own. I don't want to cause any serious damage. I want to make sure that I can manage because I'm not really in your head I'm not really in your head. And I see love and disaffection and the clouds build up and won't pass over.

so far into the distance. look, it's downhill all the way from here. and getting there is quicker, let go and you just slide. shouldn't take more than a year. i could almost like you, now it's nearly over, now you're feeling hopeless, now you're looking older. i heard what you said, and i recognised those feelings. i know how hard it is to watch it go. and all the effort that it took to get there in the first place and all the effort not to let the effort show. i could almost like you now you're looking over your shoulder. who's gonna come and find you? if you can ride the backlast there's still time for a comeback. you don't heave to lie down and die. but lazarus he only did it just the one time - he couldn't face another cry. i could almost like you now you're falling over, now you're feeling hopeless, now you're looking over your shoulder. who's gonna come and find you? who's coming up behind you. |

does everyone here do the same? i want to be the things i see, give every face and place my name. i cross the street, take a right, pick up the pace, pass a fight. did i grow up just to stay home? i'm not immune - i love this tune. i wanna love more. i just wanna love more. i drag the city late at night. it's in my mouth, it's in my hair. the people fill the city because the fills the people, oh yeah. i cross the street, avoid the freeze - a city's warmer by a couple of degrees. the smell of food. the smell of rain. i'm not immune - i love this tune. i wanna love more. there's a river in my head. the only way out is down. the only way up is down. the days roll by like thunder like a storm that's never breaking, all my time and space compressed in the low pressure of proceedings, and they beat against the sides of my life like fists against the sides of my life, and the roads all lead behind me, so i wrap the wheel around me and i go out. there's a river in my head. i'll take you home and make it easy. love more. |

london in the low tide of the night,
not a taxi cab in sight. anaesthetised i start the journey home. i've been living months alone, i've been avoiding things - the phone rings, i use the answerphone. inside out in the daytime. outside in in the night time. when you're down and troubled you don't tell your friends, you don't tell you family, won't let them talk about me. i'm gonna let nobody down. soho in the high tide of the day and for a while i'm swept away - i just forget it. i use my walkman when i walk, i don't talk, but later on the moment's gone and i don't get it. inside out in the daytime. outside in in the night time. when you're down and troubled you don't tell your friends, you don't tell our family, won't let them talk about me. i'm gonna let nobody down. who shall i be tonight? who's gonna see tonight? who shall i be tonight? inside out in the daytime, wrong at the right time, i wanna know i'm good for you. outside in in the night time, right at the wrong time, i wanna know i'm good to you. when you're down and troubled you don't tell your friends, you don't tell your family, won't let them talk about me. i'm gonna let nobody down. |

how much of yourself
do you give away after someone's left your life in disarray? it still hurts but it won't show because i'm too proud so you're never ever gonna know. i'm on the dark side of the street, not the light side of the street. it's packed at 2 am. i've got no coat, are you on your own? i'm into you. when are you going home? get into me. how much of the day can you sit around letting all your feelings drag you underground? i don't care and i do care because i want it if i know that it's out there everywhere. i'm on the dark side of the street, not the light side of the street. it's packed at 2am. i've got no coat, are you on your own? i'm into you. when are you going home? get into me. i saw you stading at the bar, don't know your name or who you are. it's packed at 2am. i've got no coat, are you on your own? i'm into you. when are you going home? get into me. |

you watch the phone like it was the tv.
if you're all alone, well whose fault can that be? your keys, your bag, the car - ther'e where they always are. and the light goes down and all the lights come on and they call to me, oh come on, come on, and you don't make no difference to me. you look at me, say "what you talking about?" well me, i'm going out, with or without. i know i don't get far and we're where we always are. but the light does down and all the lights come on, and they call to me, oh come on, come, and you don't make no difference to me. so you fix a drink, cause its time to drown, and the clock speeds up and then it slows right down. the life that we have missed, i think it still exist - how can you resist? but the light goes down and the streetlights shine and they call to me, you'll be dead a long time and it makes a difference to me. and the light does down and all the lights come on and they call to me, oh come on, come on. you can make a difference to me. come on, make a difference to me. |

I haven't dialled this code before I'm sleeping later and waking later I'm eating less and thinking more And how am I without you Am I more myself or less myself I feel younger, louder Like I don't always connect Like I don't ever connect And do you like being single Do you want me back Do you want me back And do I like being single Am I coming back Am I coming back I'll put my suitcase here for now I'll turn the TV to the bed But if no one calls and I don't speak all day Do I disappear And look at me without you I'm quite proud of myself I feel reckless, clumsy Like I'm making a mistake A really big mistake And do you like being single Do you want me back Do you want me back And do I like being single Am I coming back Am I coming back Do you want me back (x6) And now I know Each time I go I don't really know What I'm thinking And now I know Each time I go I don't really know What I'm thinking of Do you want me back Do you want me back Do you want me back Do you want me back Do you want me back |

Apron strings hanging so empty,
crazy things my body tells me, I want someone to tie to my apron strings. Apron strings waiting for you, pretty things that I could call you, I want someone to tie to my lonely apron strings. Your baby looks just like you when you were young, and he looks at me with eyes that shine and I wish that he were mine, then I go home to my apron strings, cold and lonely, for time brings thoughts that only will be quiet when someone clings to my apron strings. And I'll be perfect in my own way when you cry I will be there, I'll sing to you and comb your hair, all your troubles I will share. For apron strings can be used for other things than what they're meant for, and you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings, you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings. |

I have a friend and she comes from the high plains
Wise as the hills and fresh as the rains I have a friend and she taught me daring Threw back the windows and let the air in For all she knows Bless my blue moon rose I have a friend and we talk about books She comes around and she drinks while I cook Took me an atlas to find her town And to realise that the world was round For all she knows Bless my blue moon rose |

Slowly runs the lazy river
And in it I pitched all my dreams And all the things I ever wanted And watched them heading slowly downstream For I have learned that such things fade Like photographs and family holidays And every Monday is Goodbye Sunday I guess you'd like me to throw away That box of diaries and old letters For they do nothing But feed my memory But really you should know me better For I am too fond of the past But I think I am learning at last That every Monday is Goodbye Sunday Yes it's true that I cling to things That I should leave behind As if those were the goldens days Well, I just hope that you really don't mind Slowly runs the lazy river Every Monday is Goodbye Sunday etc etc |

I know you're down again and you see nothing but rain. You put your friends
through hell and that's why we get along so well. You see, I always was your girl, it always will be you and me against the world. We know the years can give romance to the street where we once lived. You wondered why no one called - between you and me, we scared them all. You see, I always was your girl, it always has been you and me against the world. Maybe we're wrong and the world is right but don't tell me that tonight. Self-assured and abusing guests, that's the way I like you best. You see, I always was your girl, it always will be you and me against the world. |

So here we are in Italy
With a sun hat and a dictionary. The air is warm, the sky is bright, Your arms are brown you're sleeping well at night. So why does England call? The hedgerows and the townhalls. After all, there'll soon be nothing left at all. If we were born outside of place and time, To make our choice, well this would be mine. To live and die under a sun that shines. But something pulls, something I can't define Tells me England calls, whatever she's done wrong. Always calls, "This is where you belong." And I'm lonesome for a place I know. Oh but Florence you tempt me (here) to stay, Amidst your hills to while my years away. But your roots in soil lie, mine in paving stone. And I hate what it's become, but in my bones I'm lonesome for a place I know. Why does England call? |

Each time you smile that way Dangers lies that way No-one will believe me For that sort of thing's beneath me But I keep repeating three words It won't last, it won't last I've been here before it will pass Don't say I'm mercenary That's unnecessary That's not the way love is Love is here where I live Love is here here where I live Desire is a child that clings And I know the trouble it brings I remind myself each minute My home is here and my love is in it But that's not the way love is Love is here where I live Love is here where I live So I keep repeating three words It won't last, it won't last I've been here before it does pass Reason is unkind But still I'll know next time That's not the way love is Love is here where I live Love is here where I live That's not the way love is Love is here where I live Love is here where I live That's not the way love is Love is here where I live That's not the way love is Love is here where I live That's not the way love is Love is here where I live |

When I was ten I thought my brother was God - he'd lie in bed and turn out the
light with a fishing rod. I learned the names of all his football team, aid I still remembered them when I was nineteen. Strange the things deal that I remember still - shouts from the playground when I was home and ill. My sister taught me all that she learned there; when we grow up, we said, we'd share a flat somewhere. When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street. Where I grow up there were no factories. there was a school and shops and some fields and trees, and rows of houses one by one appeared. I was born in one and lived there for eighteen years. Then when I was nineteen. I thought the Humber would be the gateway from my little world into the real world. But there is no real world - we live side by side, and sometimes collide. . When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street. It was a little world; I grew up in a little world. |

Let me tell you about this torch I carry
It's not much of a career And it won't make my fortune I fear But it stays alight and won't be buried It's brighter year-by-year And someday it will surely disappear When it does I'll know I've laid to rest The ghost of your unhappiness That flits around from room to room A widow on a honeymoon A shadow on a harvest moon So put away this torch you carry For it's doing you no good And surely you know by now that you should And come the day you die or marry Will you be understood When you say that you wanted but never could Turn your back and lay to rest The ghost of your unhappiness That flits around from room to room A widow on a honey moon A shadow on a harvest moon I write these words to make them true, "I've drowned my torch and so should you." |
