If the train don’t go there
I’ll get a jet or a bus
I’m gonna find you
You’re mine and I know I’ll find you
My head is my only house
Until I find you
I’ll walk the meadow plains
Water deserts by my eyes until I find you
I won’t sleep until I find you
I won’t eat until I’ve found you
Heart won’t beat
Until I can wrap my arms around you
Heart won’t beat
Until I’ve found you
My arms are just two things in the way until I can wrap them around you
You can make a sad song happy
And a bad world good
I can feel you out there movin’
You’re mine and I know I’ll find you
And my head is my only house unless it rains
I hate to let other people hear me sing this song
If it reaches you before I do
Follow this song to I love you
That’s where you’ll find me
That’s where you’ll find me
Heart won’t beat
Until I can wrap my arms around you
Heart won’t beat
Until I’ve found you
My head is my only house unless it rains

I hate to let other people hear me sing this song
If it reaches you before I do
Follow this song to I love you
That’s where you’ll find me
That’s where you’ll find me
Heart won’t beat
Heart won’t beat
Heart won’t beat
Until I found you
And my head is my only house unless it rains

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
This is my road to my redemption
And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway

I still haven't got over it even now
I want to spend huge amounds of time in my room
And I'm not coming out until I feel ready
not running out for a while my heart's unsteady
and I'm not really in your head
I'm not really in your head

When you sky falls to minus zero
well some things must dissappear
Oh this is my road to my redemption


And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
The names may have been changed but the faces are the same
The names may have been changed but as people we're not the same

And I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not
really in your head

And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
Yeah, my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway

Num cantinho um viol??짙o
Este amor, uma can??짠??짙o
Pr??징 fazer feliz a quem se ama
Muita calmap r??징 pensar
E ter tempo pr??징 sonhar
Da janela v??짧-se o Corcovado
O Redentor, que lindo!

Quero a vida sempre assim
Com voc??짧 perto de mim
At??짤 o apagar da velha chama
E eu que era triste
Descrente deste mundo
Ao encontrar voc??짧 eu conheci
O que ??짤 felicidade
Meu amor

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar,
Floating on the silence that surrounds me.
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams,
Quiet walks by quiet streams,
And a window looking out on the mountains and the sea, how lovely!
This is how I want to be,
Here with you so close to me,
Until the final flicker of life's ember.
I who was lost and lonely,
Believing life was only,
A bitter tragic joke have found with you,
The meaning of existence, oh my love.

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 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.

Blown in winds of mischance
he would stay but that's not his way
What escape for her she swims in the dark
In too deep but still waves -

I called you from the hotel phone
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? (x5)

Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

I wanted everything for a little while,
why shouldn't I?
I wanted to know what it was like
But I pushed you too far,
and you started laying down the law
till I didn't love you anymore

Now you can pull a little bit
There's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
But finally its gonna break
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

Now there we both were in that little house
Just hanging out
You didn't know what you were about
You turned to me as you were
threading daisies on a chain
and you said "It's decision time again"

Now you can pull a little bit
There's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
But finally its gonna break
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

I step off the train,
I'm walking down your street again,
and past your door,
but you don't live there any more.
It's years since you've been there.
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.
Back on the train,
I ask why did I come again?
Can I confess I've been hanging round your old address?
And the years have proved,
to offer nothing since you moved.
You're long gone but I can't move on,
and I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain.

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 pomised I see in him 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 that we're almost through There's a part of me that's always true∼ always All the things never 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 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 - they're 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, you don't make no difference to me.

You look at me, say

Now and then
Do you wash your hands of me again?
Wish me anywhere but home
Drunk and on the end of your phone

From time to time
Do you guess what's really on my mind?
Guess that "How you keeping now?"
Means "Where are you sleeping now"

But of course it's not polite
To ask you where you spent last night
And if I did you might reply
That I have no right
And anyway I'm fine
Glad that you're no longer mine
If I should tell a lie
I'll cross my heart and hope to die

You'd be appalled
If you knew what I was doing
When you called
Yes, I can see I'm blundering
Always end up wondering

Will it ever be alright
To ask you where you spent last night
And can it be polite
The way we never write,
Of course I don't have the time,
And anyway I'm fine
If I should tell a lie
I'll cross my hear and hope to die

I hope we never die

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.

Why does he still go on like she's a baby
Sayin' that's no kind of language for a lady?
He knows she hates that word, that's why he said it
He can be childish too and she won't forget it

"Don't tell me I don't understand"
He said, "I know I don't understand
I understood when you were ten
But nothin's added up since then"

He said, "I'll give you a piece of my mind
And you're not too old to take it
Oh, just a piece of my mind"

And that's him and her mum on honeymoon
She was born in January and that was in June
But now her life and his, they just don't mix
And he don't like her boyfriends or her politics

"Don't tell me what you think of me"
He said, "I know what you think of me
I understood when you were ten
But nothin's added up since then"

He said, "I'll give you a piece of my mind
And you're not too old to take it
Just a piece of my mind"

Still he remembers her head
On the pillow of her little bed
All at once she's sixteen and now
She hates him, she hates him
Yeah, yeah, yeah

"Don't tell me you don't understand"
She said, "What is there to understand?
I've grown up since I was a kid
And maybe, Dad, it's time that you did"

She said, "I'll give you a piece of my mind
And you're not too old to take it
Oh, just a piece of my mind and not too old
'Cause I'm not your baby, not your little girl
I'm not your baby, not your little girl"

--- Everything But The Girl

Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me
and him and her. Nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace
the us I knew. I'm never gonna let you go. You know I'm never gonna let
you go. Now I know I had a choice, though you never made it clear to
me. I thought you never felt it deeply. And now I'm never gonna let you
go. I could have loved you forever. I could have loved you forever.
What do you want from me? Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for
loving you? Punish me for giving to you? Punish me for nothing I do.

this temperamental side,
the one you say that you can't hide.
d'you ever see yourself
- the way it looks to someone else?
this temperamental trick,
the one you say you can't predict.
you're like an empty cup.
forgive me if i don't wait up.
i don't get where you're coming from
- what is real and what's put on,
what has stayed and what has gone.
how long will this thing go on and on?
i don't want you to love me.
i don't want you to love me.
you're like an empty cup,
but i can't fill you up.
what planet are you on?
not the same one i am from.
do i just waste my time?
you pour your heart on mine.
you say it screws you up.
for gi e me if i don't wait up.
i don't get what you're trying to say
- what is wrong and what's okay.
you beat yourself up one more time,
you trample on this fierce heart of mine.
i don't want you to love me.
i don't want you to love me.
i don't know what you want from me.
all this endless sympathy.
you beat yourself up on more time,
you trample on this fierce heart of mine.
i don't want you to love me.
i don't want you to love me.

the future of the future
will still contain the past
where time goes slow
and time goes fast.
i can feel you looking back at me
to see how i've got on.
what is it eating at you
that makes you want me now i'm gone?
and it's so bright tonight.
do you see those cars, those light?
the future of the future
will still repeat today
where time goes fast
then fades away.
you say - "think of the old days,
we could have them back again".
well i've thought about the old days
and they'd go bad like they did then.
and it's so bright tonight.
do you see those cars, those lights?
the future of the future
will still contain tonight
- the passage of day,
the passage of light.
and i'm not going home again,
tomorrow will never come.
and it's so bright tonight.
do your see those cars, those lights?
do you see these roads, these sights?
what you gonna do about me now?
what you gonna do about me now?
it's so bright tonight.

Now we're in twin cities, where the Mississippi rises and then falls.
One is Minneapolis, the other though less famous, is St. Paul.
There are stray dogs on the highway and the local farmers moan about lack of rain.
When the winds blew last winter I'd swear England had another hurricane.

And we are twin cities and we are that river.
From the standing still, we will be delivered.
The last time in new york was with Mandela and Madonna and the Mets.
For icons of an era, well, that's about as famous as it gets.

I've seen cities full of ticker tape and cotton trains through Utah disappearing out of sight.
And now I'm standing in a city that's as pretty as an ocean in the night.
And we are twin cities and we are that ocean. from the standing still, we are set in motion.
And no one calls me up to say, "how long are you going to be away?"

No one calls me up to say, "don't let that life lead you astray"
They were rioting in Detroit on the night the pistons won it back to back.
I was out of there the next day and I only had just two bags to pack.
And we are twin cities and we are one river.

From the standing still, we will be delivered. and we are twin cities and we are one ocean.
From the standing still, we are set in motion.

I've never been skating on a frozen river
Joni and Jane make it sound so cool
Sometimes I can get so down it seems
Nothing much is gonna turn me around

They could freeze the brook outside my home
But it's only small, not like the Hudson
Where I'd be clean away, the only one
Down through winter trees, on a smooth run on a frozen river

But look at me now I'm getting to you
And all afternoon you have been so bright
"No use turning good into bad"
At times like this you are always right

And the snowdrops are through, I never knew
And my oldest jokes still have you reeling
I'll put the troubles I find to the back of my mind
Sometimes my love has the craziest feeling like a frozen river



Half the world will sleep alone tonight
Friends of mine as well
Half the world are on their own tonight
Friends of mine as well

There's a river below this bright night sky
So full of stars, it's the best for ages
Where I stand in the lane, having shut off the car
Just hearing your wonder like a frozen river

You're like a frozen river

A summer evening; I walk past the window,
Baby's crying; Someone's cooking dinner
There's laughter on the TV
Someone's learning the violin.
How at home, it heals
At times like this, I feel that...

CHORUS:
I would like to live like anybody else
In one place
And I could be happy and fulfilled
In one place

So I get the map out
And draw a line of where we've been
It goes thru sea and sky
Twenty-five planes this year
And it's only July...
This is not some Bible, like "On The Road"
It's just a song about coming home
And whether...

CHORUS:
I would like to live like anybody else
In one place
And I could be happy and fulfilled
In one place

And you know that I have found
That I'm happiest weaving from town to town
And you know Bruce said
we should keep moving 'round
Maybe we all get too tied down, I don't know
Hell, I don't know
I'm happy to be home (Still alive)
Happy to be home...

In the end, if you take care
You can be happy or unhappy anywhere

CHORUS:
And I think we maybe all rely too much
On one place
I know I never would deny the need
For one place

So I get the map out (get the map out)
Yeah I get the map out (get the map out)
C'mon, get the map out (get the map out)
Get the map out (get the map out)

You always loved the sad songs, like you loved it when I lost, so I don't tell you when I'm happy because it only makes you cross. And I thought as I was leaving, and it strkes me every time, politics aside we always, I thought we always got on fine.

Crystal clear were my intentions, but you didn't want to know, when there's no point in staying, you just go.

And I'll be driving through provincial towns and places sweetly named, and I'll be looking for a centre, for a sense of live contained. But them I'm out the other side and through suburban avenues and I realise it never was there. Well, that's how I feel about you.

Crystal clear were my intentions, but you didn't want to know, when there's no point in staying you just go.

Lying in bed on a weekday night
Listening to the title fight
From a town the radio said was Atlantic City
The branches brush the windows
The hour is early evening
And Frankie's beating hell out of the champion

Frankie is the one, you know
Frankie is the boy
I hope my sister's listening
from her place in Illinois

For though the world is turning darkly
all the stars are out tonight
There are dreams still shining, redefining
all that makes us feel alright

Lying in bed in the afternoon
listening to Frankie Lymon tunes
While the people make their way home
from the dusty city
The breezes blow the curtains
the hour is early evening
and Frankie's singing songs just like a champion

Frankie was the one, you know
Frankie was the boy
My sister shook his hand the night
he played at the Savoy

And though the world is turning darkly
all the stars are out tonight
There are dreams still shining, redefining
all that makes us feel alright

Frankie is the one, you know
Frankie is the boy
Frankie bears the weight of
all our sorrow and our joy

For though the world is turning darkly
all the stars are out tonight
There are dreams still shining, redefining
all that makes us feel alright
I feel alright

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.

I don't wanna feel this way

I don't wanna feel this way

I don't wanna feel this way - won't somebody take away this feeling
I'm looking at a open sky, it's like my roof has got no ceiling

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 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 always cover for me, won't you.....won't you?

I don't wanna feel this way won't somebody take away this feeling
You play good cop, I play bad cop
Still my roof has got no ceiling, still my roof has got no ceiling
I don't wanna feel this way
I don't wanna feel this way
I don't wanna feel this way
I don't wanna feel this way

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

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.

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
and past your door
but you don't live there anymore

It's years since you've been there
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

Back on the train
I ask why did I come again
Can I confess
I've been hanging around your old address

And the years have proven
to offer nothing since you moved
You're long gone
but I can't move on

and I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar,
Floating on the silence that surrounds me.
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams,
Quiet walks by quiet streams,
And a window looking out on the mountains and the sea, how lovely!
This is how I want to be,
Here with you so close to me,
Until the final flicker of life's ember.
I who was lost and lonely,
Believing life was only,
A bitter tragic joke have found with you,
The meaning of existence, oh my love.

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
This is my road to my redemption
And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway

I still haven't got over it even now
I want to spend huge amounds of time in my room
And I'm not coming out until I feel ready
not running out for a while my heart's unsteady
and I'm not really in your head
I'm not really in your head

When you sky falls to minus zero
well some things must dissappear
Oh this is my road to my redemption


And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
The names may have been changed but the faces are the same
The names may have been changed but as people we're not the same

And I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not
really in your head

And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
Yeah, my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway

From the top you can see so far into the distance
Look it's downhill all the way from here
Getting there is quicker like going you just slide
Shouldn't take more then a year

I could almost like you
Now it's nearly over
Now you've shown some weaknesses
Now you're looking older

And I heard what you said
And I recognise those feelings
I know how hard it is to watch you go
And all the effort that it took to get here in the first place
And all the effort not to let the effort show

And 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

If you can ride the backlash
There's still time for a comeback
You don't have to lie down and die
But Lazarus only did it the one time
He couldn't face another try

And I could almost like you
Now it's really over
Now you've shown some weakness
Now you're looking over your shoulder

Who's gonna come and find you
And who's coming up behind you

I called you from the hotel phone
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

<< Walking Wounded >>
--- Everything But The Girl

Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me
and him and her. Nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace
the us I knew. I'm never gonna let you go. You know I'm never gonna let
you go. Now I know I had a choice, though you never made it clear to
me. I thought you never felt it deeply. And now I'm never gonna let you
go. I could have loved you forever. I could have loved you forever.
What do you want from me? Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for
loving you? Punish me for giving to you? Punish me for nothing I do.
Punish me for nothing. Punish me for nothing. For nothing. Out amongst
the walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me and him and
her. Nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace the us I
knew. I'm never gonna let you go. You know I'm never gonna let you
go. Now I know I had a choice, though you never made it clear to me. I
thought you never felt it deeply. And now I'm never gonna let you go. I
could have loved you forever. Or I could have left you forever. What do
you want from me? Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for loving
you? Punish me for giving to you? Punish me for nothing I do. Punish
me for nothing. Punish me for nothing. For nothing. Out amongst the
walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me and him and her
and nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace the us I
knew. Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every train is you
and me and him and her. Somedays I think I could go insane. Somedays I
think I could go insane.

I walked the city late at night
Just everyone here, do the same
I wanna live the things I see
'cause every face, replace my name

Across the street, take a right
Pick up the pace, pass a fight
Did I grow up? Did you stay home?
I'm not inmune, I love this tune

I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more

I drive the city late at night
It's in my mouth, it's in my head
And the people filled the city
'Cause the city fills the people, oh yeah

Across the street, avoid the freeze
The city's warm by couple of degrees
The smell of food, the smell of rain
I'm not inmune, I love this tune

I wanna love more (there's a river in my head)
I just wanna love you more (there's a river in my head)
I wanna love you more (there's a river in my head)
I just wanna love you more (there's a river in my head)

Only way out is down
Only way up is down

I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more

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 2am
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 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 standing 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

This temperamental side
The one you say that you can't hide
D' you ever see yourself
The way it looks to someone else
This temperamental trick
The one you say you can't predict
You're like an empty cup
Forgive me if I don't wait up
I don't get where you're coming from
What is real and what's put on
What has stayed and what has gone
How long will this thing go on and on

I don't want you to love me
I don't want you to love me

You're like an empty cup
But I can't fill you up
What planet are you on
Not the same one I am from
Do I just waste my time
You pour your heart on mine
You say it screws you up
Forgive me if I don't wait up
I don't get what you're trying to say
What is wrong and what's okay
You beat yourself up one more time
You trample on this fierce heart of mine

I don't want you to love me
I don't want you to love me

I don't know what you want from me
All this endless sympathy
You beat yourself up one more time
You trample on this fierce heart of mine

I don't want you to love me
I don't want you to love me

know I wasn't good
Maybe I was even bad
But I was way too young
To know just what I had
And if I let you down
Now I let you go
But I was so young
And now it's all gone
I'm the one to blame

You must never think
I wish that you had stayed
Look at where we are
I'm glad you got away
But who's your daddy now
And where's your home
You're living somewhere new
D'you think he'd take me too
I'm the one to blame

Now you forgot the words
Please don't forget your name
And who gave it to you
Well that was me again
Who let you down and loved you
That was me again
And who's the one to blame
That was me again
I'm the one to blame

I wanted everything for a little while.
Why shouldn't I?
I wanted to know what it was like.
But I pushed you too far and you started laying
down the law till I didn't love you any more.
Now you can pull a little
bit, there's a little give and take.
And love will stretch a little bit,
but finally it's gonna break.
Wherever you go I will follow you, 'cause I was wrong.
So there we both were in that little house, just hanging out.
You didn't know what you were about.
You turned to me as you were
threading daisies on a chain and you said,
"It's decision time again".
Now you can pull a little bit,
there's a little give and take.
And love will stretch a little bit,
but finally it's gonna break.
Wherever you go I will follow you,
'cause I was wrong. And the ground's gonna swallow
you. I was wrong.
I wanted everything for a little while.
Why shouldn't I? I wanted to know what he was like.
Now you can pull a little bit,
there's a little give and take.
And love will stretch a little bit,
but finally it's gonna break.
Wherever you go I will follow you,
cause I was wrong

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?

Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me
and him and her. Nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace
the us I knew. I'm never gonna let you go. You know I'm never gonna let
you go. Now I know I had a choice, though you never made it clear to
me. I thought you never felt it deeply. And now I'm never gonna let you
go. I could have loved you forever. I could have loved you forever.
What do you want from me? Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for
loving you? Punish me for giving to you? Punish me for nothing I do.
Punish me for nothing. Punish me for nothing. For nothing. Out amongst
the walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me and him and
her. Nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace the us I
knew. I'm never gonna let you go. You know I'm never gonna let you
go. Now I know I had a choice, though you never made it clear to me. I
thought you never felt it deeply. And now I'm never gonna let you go. I
could have loved you forever. Or I could have left you forever. What do
you want from me? Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for loving
you? Punish me for giving to you? Punish me for nothing I do. Punish
me for nothing. Punish me for nothing. For nothing. Out amongst the
walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me and him and her
and nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace the us I
knew. Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every train is you
and me and him and her. Somedays I think I could go insane. Somedays I
think I could go insane.

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 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.

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

I don't wanna feel this way

I don't wanna feel this way

I don't wanna feel this way - won't somebody take away this feeling
I'm looking at a open sky, it's like my roof has got no ceiling

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 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 always cover for me, won't you.....won't you?

I don't wanna feel this way won't somebody take away this feeling
You play good cop, I play bad cop
Still my roof has got no ceiling, still my roof has got no ceiling
I don't wanna feel this way
I don't wanna feel this way
I don't wanna feel this way
I don't wanna feel this way

I wanted everything for a little while.
Why shouldn't I?
I wanted to know what it was like.
But I pushed you too far and you started laying
down the law till I didn't love you any more.
Now you can pull a little
bit, there's a little give and take.
And love will stretch a little bit,
but finally it's gonna break.
Wherever you go I will follow you, 'cause I was wrong.
So there we both were in that little house, just hanging out.
You didn't know what you were about.
You turned to me as you were
threading daisies on a chain and you said,
"It's decision time again".
Now you can pull a little bit,

i walk the city late at night.
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.

i know i wasn't good
- maybe i was evern bad -
but i was way too young
to know just what i had.
and if i let you down,
now i let you go,
but i was so young
and now it's all gone.
i'm the one to blame.
you must never think
i wish that you had stayed.
look at where we are,
i'm glad you got away.
but who's your daddy now
and where's your home?
you're living somewhere new.
d'you think he'd take me too?
i'm the one to blame.
now you forgot the words,
please don't forget you name.
and who gave that to you?
well that was me again.
who let you down and love you?
that was me again.
and who's the one to blame?
that was me again.
i'm the one to blame.

suburbia, 1 a.m.
you're walking home again.
shopping bags and broken glass,
i hate going thru the underpass.
i wish there was some other way round
but you got beaten up by the playground,
and it's no use,
wei'll have to go thru the deseted shopping centre.
pedestrian walkways -i thought
they were meant to make things better,
but it's just emptier,
and scary at night time.
hatfield at that time.
this is the place i live.
where is everyone?
are we the only ones?
this is the place i live and so does everyone,
so does everyone.
hatfield 1980, i'm seeing my first knife,
my first ambulance ride.
i hold your hand the whole way,
crying, get home the next day.
police have already been.
well you can imagine the scene.
and if i'm going home
i better change my clothes,
i better change my clothes.
this is the place i live.
where is everyone?
are we the only ones?
this is the place i live and so does everyone,
so does everyone.
when i'm looking back i look for everyone.
and when i fall down i fall for anyone.

This temperamental side
The one you say that you can't hide
D' you ever see yourself
The way it looks to someone else
This temperamental trick
The one you say you can't predict
You're like an empty cup
Forgive me if I don't wait up
I don't get where you're coming from
What is real and what's put on
What has stayed and what has gone
How long will this thing go on and on

I don't want you to love me
I don't want you to love me

You're like an empty cup
But I can't fill you up
What planet are you on
Not the same one I am from
Do I just waste my time
You pour your heart on mine
You say it screws you up
Forgive me if I don't wait up
I don't get what you're trying to say
What is wrong and what's okay
You beat yourself up one more time
You trample on this fierce heart of mine

I don't want you to love me
I don't want you to love me

I don't know what you want from me
All this endless sympathy
You beat yourself up one more time
You trample on this fierce heart of mine

I don't want you to love me
I don't want you to love me

la la la la
dum de dum de

from the top you can see
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.

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.

The future of the future will still contain the past
Time goes slow and time goes fast
I can feel you looking back at me
To see how I?e done
What is it inside you that makes you want to be my god

Well it? so bright tonight
It? so bright tonight
It? so bright tonight
Do you see those cars, those lights?

The future of the future will still repeat today
Time goes fast and fades away
And you say think of the old days
We could have them back again
Well I thought about the old days
They? go bad like they did then

Well it? so bright tonight
It? so bright tonight
It? so bright tonight
Do you see those cars, those lights?

The future of the future will still contain tonight
The passage of day the passage of light
I? not going home again
Tomorrow will never come
I? not going home again
Tomorrow will never come

Well it? so bright tonight
It? so bright tonight
Do you see those cars, those lights?
Do you see those roads, these skies?

What ya gonna do about me now?
(Repeat 8x)

It? so bright tonight

Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

I wanted everything for a little while,
why shouldn't I?
I wanted to know what it was like
But I pushed you too far,
and you started laying down the law
till I didn't love you anymore

Now you can pull a little bit
There's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
But finally its gonna break
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

Now there we both were in that little house
Just hanging out
You didn't know what you were about
You turned to me as you were
threading daisies on a chain
and you said "It's decision time again"

Now you can pull a little bit
There's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
But finally its gonna break
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

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

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.

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
and past your door
but you don't live there anymore

It's years since you've been there
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

Back on the train
I ask why did I come again
Can I confess
I've been hanging around your old address

And the years have proven
to offer nothing since you moved
You're long gone
but I can't move on

and I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar,
Floating on the silence that surrounds me.
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams,
Quiet walks by quiet streams,
And a window looking out on the mountains and the sea, how lovely!
This is how I want to be,
Here with you so close to me,
Until the final flicker of life's ember.
I who was lost and lonely,
Believing life was only,
A bitter tragic joke have found with you,
The meaning of existence, oh my love.

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
This is my road to my redemption
And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway

I still haven't got over it even now
I want to spend huge amounds of time in my room
And I'm not coming out until I feel ready
not running out for a while my heart's unsteady
and I'm not really in your head
I'm not really in your head

When you sky falls to minus zero
well some things must dissappear
Oh this is my road to my redemption


And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
The names may have been changed but the faces are the same
The names may have been changed but as people we're not the same

And I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not
really in your head

And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
Yeah, my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway

From the top you can see so far into the distance
Look it's downhill all the way from here
Getting there is quicker like going you just slide
Shouldn't take more then a year

I could almost like you
Now it's nearly over
Now you've shown some weaknesses
Now you're looking older

And I heard what you said
And I recognise those feelings
I know how hard it is to watch you go
And all the effort that it took to get here in the first place
And all the effort not to let the effort show

And 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

If you can ride the backlash
There's still time for a comeback
You don't have to lie down and die
But Lazarus only did it the one time
He couldn't face another try

And I could almost like you
Now it's really over
Now you've shown some weakness
Now you're looking over your shoulder

Who's gonna come and find you
And who's coming up behind you

I called you from the hotel phone
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

<< Walking Wounded >>
--- Everything But The Girl

Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me
and him and her. Nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace
the us I knew. I'm never gonna let you go. You know I'm never gonna let
you go. Now I know I had a choice, though you never made it clear to
me. I thought you never felt it deeply. And now I'm never gonna let you
go. I could have loved you forever. I could have loved you forever.
What do you want from me? Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for
loving you? Punish me for giving to you? Punish me for nothing I do.
Punish me for nothing. Punish me for nothing. For nothing. Out amongst
the walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me and him and
her. Nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace the us I
knew. I'm never gonna let you go. You know I'm never gonna let you
go. Now I know I had a choice, though you never made it clear to me. I
thought you never felt it deeply. And now I'm never gonna let you go. I
could have loved you forever. Or I could have left you forever. What do
you want from me? Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for loving
you? Punish me for giving to you? Punish me for nothing I do. Punish
me for nothing. Punish me for nothing. For nothing. Out amongst the
walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me and him and her
and nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace the us I
knew. Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every train is you
and me and him and her. Somedays I think I could go insane. Somedays I
think I could go insane.

I walked the city late at night
Just everyone here, do the same
I wanna live the things I see
'cause every face, replace my name

Across the street, take a right
Pick up the pace, pass a fight
Did I grow up? Did you stay home?
I'm not inmune, I love this tune

I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more

I drive the city late at night
It's in my mouth, it's in my head
And the people filled the city
'Cause the city fills the people, oh yeah

Across the street, avoid the freeze
The city's warm by couple of degrees
The smell of food, the smell of rain
I'm not inmune, I love this tune

I wanna love more (there's a river in my head)
I just wanna love you more (there's a river in my head)
I wanna love you more (there's a river in my head)
I just wanna love you more (there's a river in my head)

Only way out is down
Only way up is down

I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more
I wanna love more, I just wanna love more

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 2am
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 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

Don't know your name or who you are

I don't want you to love me
I don't want you to love me

know I wasn't good
Maybe I was even bad
But I was way too young
To know just what I had
And if I let you down
Now I let you go
But I was so young
And now it's all gone
I'm the one to blame

You must never think
I wish that you had stayed
Look at where we are
I'm glad you got away
But who's your daddy now
And where's your home
You're living somewhere new
D'you think he'd take me too

Now you forgot the words

That was me again
And who's the one to blame
That was me again
I'm the one to blame

Why shouldn't I? I wanted to know what he was like.
Now you can pull a little bit,

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
This is my road to my redemption
And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway

I still haven't got over it even now
I want to spend huge amounds of time in my room
And I'm not coming out until I feel ready
not running out for a while my heart's unsteady
and I'm not really in your head
I'm not really in your head

When you sky falls to minus zero
well some things must dissappear
Oh this is my road to my redemption


And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
The names may have been changed but the faces are the same
The names may have been changed but as people we're not the same

And I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not
really in your head

And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
Yeah, my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway

I was alone thinking I was just fine,
I wasn't looking for anyone to be mine
I thought that love was just a fabrication,
A train that wouldn't stop at my station
Home, alone, that was my consignment,
Solitary, confinement
So when we met, I was getting around you,
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you.

I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love

'Cuz there you stood, and I would,
Oh I wonder, could I say how I felt and not be misunderstood?
A thousand stars came into my system,
I never knew how much I have missed them.
Slap, on the lap, of my heart you landed,
I was coy, but you made me candid,
And now the planets circle around you,
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you.

I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love

So we build from here with love the foundation
In the world of tears, one conselation
Now you're here and there's a full brass band
Playing in me like a wonderland
But if you left I would be two foot small
And every tear would be a waterfall
Soundless, boundless, I surround you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you.

I just didn't know.

I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love

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?

You're here, but what if you weren't? What would have happened to me?
That candle, unburnt, is history. One thing, I guess, this place would
be a mess, for my standards at best are undemanding. And that needs your
understanding.

Still here, but what if we weren't? Where d'you think I would be? For
love, I have learnt, depends on geography. Fortune found us when all
around us half the couples we knew were disbanding. And that takes some
understanding.

And do you know even when we disagree, and freedom holds out a hand to
me, I know I would never want to be without your company. And I mean
that totally.

One thing is clear, after all these years, we have reached an
understanding. We have reached an understanding.

When the light fades on a long bad day, I sometimes weaken. Then I turn
to see you've been waiting for me, I know I'm not beaten. 'Cause you
lift me up, you do.

Coming home sometimes I catch the headlines. It's been raining since
Saturday night. And the trains run late, I'm stuck at Notting Hill
Gate. But you'll make it alright. 'Cause you lift me up (you make it
alright), you do.

Such a little thing, our love won't make the world alright, but love
makes sense of life and that's enough, at least tonight.

So late at night maybe, when you call me baby, the day will just fall
away. 'Cause you lift me up, you do.

All this short summer night long I've been waiting for you
Just to give me a sign that you feel this way too

There are people on the streets for the weekend
But I don't hear them

There are others I could meet for the weekend
But I don't see them

Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city
Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city

I have a dream, of an inky blue sea
You could give up your job and go there with me

I know we'd miss the football and the dancing
There's always something

And you'd worry that the people here'd be talking
But that's nothing

Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city
Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city

In the morning I sit on the train and wonder
If I can go through all this again you know I
Feel like staying till the end of the line this time...
This time, this time, this time

Oh yeah. uh huh.

We come to fight and dream in this fairground of a town


Through the sweet and sickly streets from the airless undergrounds
While the planes fly out of Heathrow taking people late at night
To where the fields are like Australia in the early morning light

Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city
Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city

Talk to me like the sea
In the morning I sit on the train

Talk to me like the sea
Hey hey hey

Talk to me like the sea
In the morning I sit on the train

Talk to me like the sea
Oh oh yeah

Talk to me like the sea
Oh yeah, I sit on the train.

Talk to me like the sea

Leaving at dawn to beat the traffic, do you remember that too? Curled asleep on the back seat, do you remember that too? The soundless dark, the empty road, do you remember that too? And that child asleep, only eight years old, do you recognise as you?

June, July, September, stretched ahead and out of view. The whole world seemed a safe place, and never ending too. But it was never as simple as you thought, there were just things you never knew, and up ahead your parents bore the weight of all their worries and yours too.

Windows down on the coast road, wanting to be first to see the sea. The whole world seemed a safe place, temporarily. But it was never as simple as you thought, and you found out as you grew, that up ahead your parents had borne the weight of all their worries and yours too. All their worries and yours too.
