Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight I keep looking for something I can't get Broken hearts lie all around me And I don't see an easy way to get out of this Her diary it sits on the bedside table The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away Is there any just cause for feeling like this? On the surface I'm a name on a list I try to be discreet, but then blow it again I've lost and found, it's my final mistake She's loving by proxy, no give and all take 'cos I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times Oh I, I just died in your arms... It was a long hot night She made it easy, she made it feel right But now it's over the moment has gone I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong Oh I, I just died in your arms... |

some things get started
some things get finished then fade away, but some of us made our own rules from the start a year in the wilderness we sat it out now we're home again and playin'.... into the den with the lions too many good friends i lost they say it's a price you pay so don't try to force my hand i can't give any more. we'll cut every corner to cross every border hello again! play... into the den with the lions it's so good to be home back into the den with the lions. deep in my darkest of hours i find myself all alone i hear a voice and i look to the sky there was an eagle an eagle that's flying into the sun, (and he whispered) play... into the den with the lions it's so good to be home i'm falling -back into the den with the lions feels so good to be home... |

boys and girls will see in time
that they were wrong to go fires don't burn at home, like they used to burn, those nights grew so long the scattering (all the children say) will come again (it's taken them away) no seeds to fall (all the children say) no sons to blame as one by one they left home tired old men spin tales of when a man could work and hold his head up high ghosts roam this town with pockets full of rye they'd all fall down but soon their jars all ran dry the scattering (all the children say) will come again (it's taken them away) no seeds to fall (all the children say) no sons to blame as one by one they left home the scattering (all the children say) has come again (it's taken them away) no seeds to fall (all the children say) like better days the scattering (all the children say) has come again (it's taken them away) but if skies could fall (all the children say) with harvest rain then one by one... they'll come home |

one more to tie to the whipping post
papers that peddle the holy ghost once more the victim of circumstance pays if paper plates serve the final feast sharpen your knives for a front page piece sitting safe in the front row seats you make a big noise big fire big noise you and the big boys are playin' with fire big noise you'd take me down to a peeping show frame me in photos in old soho now who's gonna give me a second chance? you make a big noise big fire big noise you and the big boys are playin' with fire big noise try to give me one thing straight from the heart straight from the heart... so make a big noise big fire big noise you and the big boys are playin' with fire big noise... and when the smoke clears there's no fire big noise (straight from the heart?) |

I dream, dream of a lonely girl
Who sleeps, lost in her lonely world Any sunset I'd give to you Any colour that you like, all for you She wakes wrapped in her naked room The air filled with a sweet perfume Any rainbow I'll save for you Any colour that you like, all for you I've waited, I've waited so long for you To show my true colours come shining through I dream, dream of a distant girl Who sleeps, lost in a lonely world In a diamond, I'll shine for you Any colour that you like, all for you |

I have learnt through all my past mistakes
Not to let the hurdles sap my energy Time will tell and time is all it takes You won't see the bastards knock the running out of me And the band, they played one more song One for the mocking bird, they played one more song All the tears, they fell one by one All for the mocking-bird, they fell one by one Don't be fooled by those who feed you words They just twist and tighten up the tourniquet But the sweetest song of all the mocking-birds Couldn't hope to match one note of any song we played And the band, they played one more song One for the mocking bird, they played one more song All the dreams, they broke one by one All for the mocking-bird, they broke one by one What are you hiding from? Why do you lock the door? Open up the door! And the band, they played... I have learnt, time will tell, years will pass, tears will fall, Don't be fooled, fed by words, their sweet songs, Mocking-birds! |

Catch my breath, close my eyes
Don't believe a word Things she said, overheard Something wrong inside Once you won't admit it, then you know you're in it I've been in love before I've been in love before The hardest part is when you're in it I've been in love before I've been in love before Just one touch, just one look A dangerous dance One small word can make me feel Like running away You can't say you're in it, no, until you reach the limit I've been in love... |

Put it down to the fighting
Put it down to the fools who play in the game I'm picking up second sight I'm picking up tired ways But you better believe it Oh you better believe before it's too late I'm feeling like letting go Of living in a dangerous time It must've been lonely, it must've been cold It must've been something Life in a dangerous time Is there life in a dangerous time? Coming out of the shadows Coming out of the darkness into the light It's bright enough to show the way Enough to face another day It's a curious feeling It's a feeling of reaching up to the sky I'll never think of letting go Of living in a dangerous time It must've been lonely... |

Midnight, feels like it's shining on me
Moonlight, taxis roll in from the sea Shots in the dark, slaves to the big city beat Heroes, toasted and sent to the wall Zeroes, bleed you and laugh in your face My kind of town is anywhere else but this place But who can walk on the water? I can help this fear of falling I can help this fear of letting go I can help this fear of falling I can help this fear of letting go Hold on, check out and check out the fools Don't you, forget the, the golden rule Don't let them win Start making plans of your own 'Cos you can get what you wanted! I can help... |

I never knew what it meant to me
'Till someone just took the best of me If it's some kind of conspiracy Then no-one gets to the rest of me I'm turning over leaves I'm holding up my head I'm healing over hurt and learning to forget Don't look back, let it fade and let it go Don't look back, let it fade and let it go You make your way in a crazy world Get all mixed up by a crazy girl When all you want is some honesty But then all she gives you is sympathy I'm opening new doors, I'm clearing out the shelf I'm loosening my act and laughing to myself Don't look back... Don't be afraid of the choices you've made And try not to give any quarter There's no more to say I'm walking away and I'll never look back Don't look back... |

It's been fine up to now Sahara, I just walked into your world Sahara, don't walk out on me now Don't let time tie you down It's been fine up to now Sahara, there is life in the desert Sahara, let the sands run away But in my heart and in my head I know that she'll wait for me Sahara brings me down She will take up all your time Then she'll laugh and cut you down Do you still hold a light for ... for me? Don't let fires burn too low Wild-eyed winds they still blow Sahara, I just walked into your world Sahara, don't walk out on me now But in my heart... |

Too many times have I told you, feel your way
If it's question of answers, then have your say Don't go giving me reasons, we all have a price And in that moment of indecision, you'll never understand why It shouldn't take too long, to set the thing moving It shouldn't take too long, so long as you believe it It shouldn't take too long, (to get what you want) Forget the popular notion, lead the way You've never known what you wanted until today Through fire and water, you, you can survive To make the best of the situation, you have to understand why It shouldn't take too long... When I was a boy in the summer rain Every hour seemed days to me It shouldn't take too long... |

Believe me when I say to you
That every word is true That a change is going to come You can hear it in the broadcast on your radio Why are you running, was it something that somebody said? What are you hiding from, are the voices alone in your head? I can make it look natural 'cos the more that you see It's the less that you know, it's the more that you give Believe me when they call for you As you cry out in the night These four suspicious riders have been circling the borders of your bungalow But how they ever got to you I swear I'll never know Was it just the laws of nature that's been causing all the voices on your telephone? Why are you running... Believe me and I'll pray for you (we'll give you what you wanted) With all my fickle heart I could sell you hallelujahs recorded on a chrome cassette in stereo So come and make your home with me It really isn't far Fly down to California and become a Christian soldier on My late, late show Why are you running... |
