All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last Take the road forgotten Don't leave me here Oh please let me stay Far from familiar things All I ask is to live each moment All I ask is to live each moment Free from the last Strange roads going nowhere in particular All I ask is to live each moment All I ask is to live each moment Free from the last Free from the last All I ask |

You and me got the whole day off
Take a trip to Vincent Van Gogh But the line went halfway round the block And we're looking for a place to rest Every seat in every bar was set So we turned back to The Grand Hotel And the rain came hard A million people on a protest march Every choice, every path was mistaken You and me got the whole thing sussed Gray man is shadowing us Wild conspiracies turn to dust Hear the sound of cathedral bells Cash ringing at the gates of Hell And fairground hooligans push and swell They're the darkest days of a free man Lying in the streets of Amsterdam Nearly fell underneath the tram But I picked myself up Every temptation and device All the diamonds and the spice I would give anything for the sight Of an honest man (Hey) Eyes swim in emptiness I was looking at a hotel guest He blew me a big sarcastic kiss And the Lord walked in With a monocle and lips so thin Saw the barman wink as he poured his brandy They're the darkest days of a free man Lying in the streets of Amsterdam Nearly fell underneath the tram But I picked myself up Every temptation up in lights all the diamonds and the spice Could take profit from the vice Of another man Amsterdam Cold, cold Cold, cold You belong |

Kids kissing on the floor
They make a work of art Up on the gallery wall They take the world apart And no one’s safe The tension on the string We’re almost there It’s time to reign over the king The archer fires away (Send an arrow up) We hope to rise again (Like an invitation) Aim high Then the arrow comes down Take out The pale imitation The whole facade is wearing thin We'll just paper over cracks ‘Til people take the power back Moving out the cavalcade We live to fight another day See the arrows fly They tempt you with a prize Make you master of the house You look so indifferent now With the sucker hanging from your mouth But you can’t be safe You can’t betray your will We’re almost gone It’s time to take over the hill The archer fires away (Send an arrow up) We hope to rise again (Like an invitation) Aim high When the colours come down Take out The pale imitation The whole facade is wearing thin We just paper over cracks ‘Til people take the power back Moving out the cavalcade We live to fight another day See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey) See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey) See the archer’s arrows fade (Soon find out if we make a mark) See the archer’s arrows fade (Soon find out, leave an arrow in my heart) See the archer’s arrows fade See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey) |

Rely on no help from above Living is luxury I want everything you throw out I'll do anything you want to Please let me go with you I'll wear the smile on your face Big black and beautiful I want it, everything you throw out There must be something you can do without (chorus) Cuz I am as sure as I am I couldn't care less For what might go wrong I'm as happy as sin In a fear-shaken world I pity the rhino Down there it's becoming extinct Killed for a love potion Sad thing lookin' like a dead flower I want it everything that you throw out (chorus) Don't want to be there Don't want to be spared I'll wear the smile on your face I am as sure as I am I couldn't care less For what might go wrong I'm as happy as sin In a fear-shaken world I couldn't care less |

Somewhere deep inside something's got a hold on you
And it's pushin' me aside So you'd stretch on forever. Chorus: And I know I'm right For the first time in my life. That's why I'll tell you You better be home soon. Strippin' back the cause of lies and deception, Back to nothingness Like a week in the desert. Chorus Don't say no. Don't say nothin' wrong. When you get back home, Maybe I'll be gone. Go-o-one.. It would cause me pain if we were to end it But I could start again. You can depend on it. Chorus That's why I'll tell you. You better be home soon. |

Black and white boy
black and white boy you're so extreme you're so confused color me in whatever mood I'm in I could be still in touch with you And you're full of the wonder of spring it's all sweetness and lightness you bring and a room full of people fall to your infinite charm but when darkness should quickly descend you go quietly, my miserable friend to the depths of despair you will crawl black and white boy Black and white boy black and white boy you're so extreme you're so confused color me in whatever mood I'm in I could be still in touch with you When you shake off the shadows of night and your eyes are so clear and so bright you'll make fools of the liars and creeps put a rose in my cheeks but when demons have climbed on your back you are vicious and quick to attack and you put on a wonderful show do you really, really think I don't know? black and white boy And you run like a cat to the cream and you're acting so nice it's obscene you put on a wonderful show do you really, really think I don't know? black and white boy . |

Why do I kid myself
Why do I scream for pleasure It's four in the morning should know better But she can weave a spell Want it to last forever Making me feel like somebody special Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again Though I look everywhere I never seem to find it Always a shadow around a corner Drown it in alcohol Stuck in the elevator Hard to remember in the morning Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again Tell you about myself If you're in the mood to listen Baby you don't know who you're kissing This is a lonely world You are a strange companion When you get what you wanted You want to leave Honestly I want to free myself From the burden of inaction Honestly I want to raise myself To any plane I can imagine Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again |

No night to stay in
Bad moon is rising again Dice rolls And you burn Come down I fear As that cold wheel turns I know what I know Sad Claude's been sleeping around To stroke the right nerve Whose needs do I serve As Catherine's wheel turns She was always the first to say gone she's got her catherine wheels on Always the first to say gone Go kindly with him To his blind apparition His face creases up With age gone grey He'll back here one day She was always the first to say gone she's got her catherine wheels on Always the first to say gone She's got her catherine wheels on Wheels on Catherine wheels She's gone Vanished in the night Broke off the logic of light He woke Tore the covers back Found he was empty inside So they were told When the moon would rise The best time to leave with your soul She's gone But towards the light Watching her whole life unfold Bruises come out dark So strong was his hold on her Regarded by some as his slave He spoke as in a stranger's tongue Despair us and drive you away Bruises come out dark |

Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown I don't know what tune that the orchestra played But it went by me sickly and sentimental Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker's got a lot on her plate Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner And you wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek And the sugar that dripped from the violins' bow Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker must be losing her faith, yeah Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave And the dogs are on the road, we're all tempting fate Cars shooting by with no number plates And hear comes Mrs. Hairy Legs I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257 The excess of fat on your American bones Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker, Tammy Baker Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Kathy Straker, boy, could she lose some weight Can I buy another slice of real estate? Liberace must be laughing in his grave Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? |

I thought it was about time something newer than Woodface was
put into the archive. The first single from the new "probably-better-than-Woodface-after-all" album : Tell me all the things you would change I don't pretend to know what you want When you come around and spin my top Time and again, time and again No fire where I lit my spark I am not afraid of the dark When your words devour my heart And put me to shame, put me to shame [Chorus: When your seven worlds collide Whenever I am by your side And dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone] You're still so young to travel so far Old enough to know who you are Wise enough to carry the scars Without any blame, there's no-one to blame It's easy to forget what you learnt Waiting for the thrill to return Feeling your desire burn And drawn to the flame [Chorus] Dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone And I'm lying on the table washed out in the flood Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above I don't pretend to know what you want But I offer love... Seven worlds will collide Whenever I am by your side Dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone As time slips by And your mind And your mind As time slips by |

Another pleasant day in the countryside
Ended up in tears on a stormy night 'Cause you can't follow my directions home Don't stop now God knows where the satellite's taking us Can't tell what is right in front of us But I hang on every word Don't stop now No, don't stop now Give me something I can write about Get fooled by the lightning every time See the after image of my outline Then you turn the wrong way ‘round Well, don't stop now No, don't stop now Give me something I can write about Give me something I can cry about In a church house ten miles out of town Is the devil gonna track me down When you travel through a tunnel in the trees Just remember that's how you get to me There's no number on the house The birds are heading south Sometimes you have to turn The wrong way ‘round Sometimes you get too close to nowhere now Restless, hopeful, in silence I wait With a blank piece of paper on the top of my head And all I want is something I can write about All I want is something I can cry about |

Either side of the world
Chase the sun Pay the maximum rate To feel so lonesome Wrapped up like little lambs Safe from harm Enjoy it while you can Happiness is far from home You know it, he knows it Everybody knows it When you’re in love The world moves with you Whatever you want They’re happy to give you The last resort Where the famous have come To be alone Try to work it out The same progression Sometimes I try too hard To overcome Sometimes I think too much Wish I could’ve held my tongue You know it, he knows it Everybody knows it When you’re in love The world moves with you Whatever you want You turn yourself into And then you’re in Hell Luxury and leisure Never meant pleasure We like it different Passion and commitment Commitment Wish I could’ve held my tongue You know it, he knows it Everybody knows it When you’re in love The world moves with you Whatever you want They’re happy to give you When you’re in hell Luxury and leisure Never meant pleasure We like it different Passion and commitment |

It's the closing hour
I don't want to go But I could stay afloat In your eyes I've seen the rocks Where everyone gets lost I won't stray across The white line Let's admit the world don't turn around us It's acting like we don't exist A drunk that's sleeping in the corner Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss When elephants come down To the water hole at dusk They feel the same as us about life We all take a drink The sun begins to sink The alligator waits for his time Let's admit the world don't turn around us It's acting like we don't exist A drunk that's sleeping in the corner Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss You don't have to say a word You don't have to say a word I hear what you're thinking You don't have to say a word You don't have to say a word I know what you're thinking I know there's no use So lost and discontent I'm looking for a friend I can trust For all my intent It hasn't happened yet So now I come to you for insight Let's admit the world don't care about us It's acting like we don't exist Drunk and sleeping in the corner Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss |

English trees in my garden
They planted seeds in a faraway land In between the palms and the succulent grow They lose their leaves in the winter Mark the seasons for him and for her Once upon a time in the fallen snow Up against the sky made a silhouette show England cries and she plays for him Her chords entwined like a requiem And though it's springtime and color is new In Regent's Park I will mourn for you And I must be wise somehow 'Cause my heart's been broken down It's so far to fall And so hard to climb Nothing sadder I know Than the passing of time You won't forget me You won't forget me Like english trees in my garden Summer's missed you my darling All your crimes are forgiven All your crimes are forgiven And I must be wise somehow (You won't forget me) (You won't forget me) And England cries There's English trees in my garden |

I want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive So where do I begin To help you believe again Makers of secret planes Keepers of our last remains Dream of a holy state In a nightmare time You know I meant it well But who was it meant to help? Even a child knows you dont waste it A promise is only given once And there is no doubt that changes have begun Even a child knows that you can't fake it As long as the world is waking up You are free now to recover your heart The stories left to write The ebb and flow of my life To justify the end I'll do everything I can And it's a dangerous game I heard you tell someone that you don't care But I don't believe the message And when you sing about love What are you thinking of? Even a child knows you dont waste it As long as the world is waking up And there is no doubt that changes have begun Even a child knows you don't fake it A promise is only given once You are free now to go wherever you want Theres nothing like waking up in some foreign town Music is a call to prayer Wailing out of the speakers in the market place The first time Even a child Even a child knows you don't waste it A present can always be delivered twice You are free now to receive the gift of insight From now on (lets be open) All in time (lets breathe in) Am I brave (you're so brave) Am I afraid (no not afraid) Even a child |

Even though I know you’re wrong
I can never win Disappointment I must bear Underneath my grin In the darkness from the stage The sting in my tail Horizons rise and fall Shadows grow so pale Creatures that come out to play Go home to stay the night Things I got so worried about Are working out just fine I don’t remember and in the end It’s useless to dwell And nothing good is true unless You find out for yourself Old men, be warned He can’t be helped Like those who went before He can’t be helped It’s not your fault It can’t be helped Young men Their imagination knows no bounds As far as I can see There’s a love that can’t be found Until you let it free In the spotlight on the stage The sting in my tail Horizons that rise and fall And shadows grow so pale Old men, be warned He can’t be helped All those who went before He can’t be helped It’s not your fault It can’t be helped Old men But even though I know you’re wrong I can never win Everyone’s son thinks he’s the best They make it all up again |

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her Lying in the dark I think that I'm beginning to know her Let it go I'll be there when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain You're hiding from me now There's something in the way that you're talking The words don't sound right But I hear them all moving inside you Go, I'll be waiting when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain The finger of blame has turned upon itself And I'm more than willing to offer myself Do you want my presence or need my help Who knows where that might lead I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I fall |

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her Lying in the dark I think that I'm beginning to know her Let it go I'll be there when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain You're hiding from me now There's something in the way that you're talking The words don't sound right But I hear them all moving inside you Go, I'll be waiting when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain The finger of blame has turned upon itself And I'm more than willing to offer myself Do you want my presence or need my help Who knows where that might lead I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I fall |

All his life
Blown by wildfire Like a spark Cause and effect One loose word Revolution One kind act Whole armies give thanks Falling dove Born of ocean Found by man Lived on his own Lift a sail Tighten the knots Lift him up Barely breathing Falling dove Do you believe in us Like I believe in us Is the outcome ever Strange enough You keep defending me When I’m behaving badly ‘Cause you love me ‘Cause you love me too much May the best of fortune bless you Could any creature be unmoved The humble nature of redemption The simple act of finding a use Hoping and almost praying Believing for a moment it’s true I make a rendezvous In Moscow station A midnight passenger The cafe is closed In St. Petersburg The door slides open And I’m a dead man ‘Til I see her walk through Falling dove |

Fork lightning in your hall
Break the skin when you break the fall I'll be the one to fix it up Love children of the new age Just a hippy with a weekly wage There's no rebellion just a chance to be lazy CHORUS When fame is in your blood You follow the science of love Wave the magic wand And hang on The rest of us are living in a daze Keep thinkin' 'bout the choice to be made Here come the handmaidens of end time Lost treasure from a primitive race All the lives written on your face Can't fill the canyons of your mind Chorus Now you've changed and jumbled the pieces You've changed but you were better off before You talked to a roomful of strangers Here come the handmaidens of end time Chorus And all of your spells will break And all of your stars will fall So look out for number one Fame is in your blood |

Can you imagine this
An itch to sensitive to scratch The light that falls through the cracks An insect to delicate to catch I hear the endless murmur Every blade of grass that shivers in the breeze And the sound that comes to carry me Across the land and over the sea And I can't look up Fingers of love move down And I can't look back Fingers of love move down Colour is its own reward Colour is its own reward The chiming of a perfect chord Let's go jumping overboard Into waves of joy and clarity Your hands come out to rescue me And I'm playing in the shallow water Laughing while the mad dog sleeps And I can't look up Fingers of love move down And I won't be hit Fingers of love move everywhere There is time yet Fall by the way From the cradle to the grave From a palace to the gutter From beneath the dying waves To the sun like fingers of love Through waves of joy and clarity A fallen angel walked on the sea And I'm playing in the shallow water Laughing while the mad dog sleeps And I can't look up Fingers of love move down And I won't be hit Fingers of love move everywhere There is time yet For you to find me And all I want Fingers of love move down. |

Four Seasons In One Day - Crowded House
Four seasons in one day Lying in the depths of your imagination Worlds above and worlds below The sun shines on the black clouds Hanging over the domain Even when you're feeling warm The temperature could drop away Like four seasons in one day Smiling as the shit comes down You can tell a man from what he has to say Everything gets turned around And I will risk my neck again You can take me where you will Up the creek and through the mill Like all the things you can't explain Four seasons in one day Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day It doesn't pay to make predictions Sleeping on an unmade bed Finding out wherever there is comfort There is pain Only one step away Like four seasons in one day Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day |

Plead with my saint
Wash his hands and feet Find his complaints Make this world complete And this heaven that I'm making Can't come quickly enough And the big wave that I'm taking It feels like I'm just waking up Mind out, don't think I can't get used to it Right on the brink I end up losing it And this heaven that I'm making It can't come quickly enough And the big wave that I'm taking It feels like I'm just waking up And I'll be there If all of creation is kind And each conversation I hear As I'm walking in through the crowd As if I can float through the air And this heaven Well, this heaven that I'm making It can't come quickly enough And this big boat that I'm taking Can't come by quickly enough If there is hell on Earth There must be heaven, too Both in one place And not a second to lose |

There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky Left her car by the river left her shoes beside Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was ... Dreaming of glory Miles above the mountains and plains Free at last We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I The sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all She was coming to see him but something changed her mind Drove her down to the river There is no return There's a hole in the river where a memory lies From the land of the living to the air and sky She was coming to see him But something changed her mind, drove her down to the river There is no return |

Escape is on your mind again
Escape to a far away land At times it seems there is no end To long, hard nights of drinking How will you go? How will you go? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in I fell over on the couch again But you know not all sleep is wasted The dreams are alcohol inspired I can't find a better way to face it How will you go? How will you go? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in And you know I'll be fine Just don't ask me how it's going Gimme time, gimme time 'Cause I want you to see 'Round the world, 'round the world Is a tangled up necklace of pearls How will you go? How will you go? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in How will you go? How will you go?

She said I could never do that
But I know you can, you are in my dream We are one person, not two of a kind And what was mine is now in your possession I could feel you underneath my skin As the wind rushed in, sent the kitchen table crashing She said, nobody move, or I'll bring the house down I hardly know which way is up Or which way down People are strange, God only knows I feel possessed when you come round It was one of those times wished I had a camera on me Six foot off the ground Well, I know how that sounds Look above you and beyond me too That kind of view don't need an explanation I'm not lying, not asking for anything I just want to be there when it happens again I hardly know which way is up Or which way down People are strange God only knows I feel possessed when you come round Whenever you invade my home Everything I know flies out the window It's above you and beyond me too I don't want an explanation But I'll be there when you bring the house down I hardly know which way is up Or which way down People are strange God only knows I feel possessed when you come round People are strange I feel possessed when you come round |

You're standing in a deep dark hole
Beneath a sky as black as coal It's just the fear of losing control You know so well Don't miss it when the moment comes Be submissive just this once Imagine there is something to be done Some truth to tell I would love To trouble you in your time of need Lose your way It's a pleasure when you're in my command Juggle like a diplomat Struggle to hold onto your hat Swinging like an acrobat But time will tell The clock is dripping on the wall Listen to the rise and fall Close your eyes and hear the call you know so well Put on your wings You're responsible for everything Desolate in anger and safe in isolation You're about to be the victim of a holy visitation By the rites that I've been given Put on your wings You're not responsible for everything I would love To trouble you in your time of need Lose your way It's a pleasure when you're in my command When you're in my command In my command |

Out here in panic and alarm Black shapes gather in the distance Looks like it won't take long The first drops land on the window The first sign that there's something wrong Light rain and a head full of thunder Which way, which way Two days 'til I get to you I'll be late if I ever get through Where I go there'll be no kind welcome Coming down upon me Time will keep me warm, feel my face Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands) Fear will take the place of desire And we will fan the flames on high Try for Heaven's sake The sky fell underneath a blanket The Sun sank as the miles went by Sit back with your head on the pillow When you remember it makes you cry Ghost cars on the freeway Like friends that you thought you had One by one, they're disappearing Time will keep me warm, feel my face Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands) Fear will take the place of desire And we will fan the flames on high From on higher |

You opened up your door I couldn't believe my luck you in your new blue dress taking away my breath the cradle is soft and warm couldn't do me no harm you're showing me how to give into temptation knowing full well the earth will rebel into temptation A muddle of nervous words could never amount to betrayal the sentence is all my own the price is to watch it fail as I turn to go you looked at me for half a second with an open invitation for me to go Into temptation knowing full well the earth will rebel into temptation safe in the wide open arms of hell We can go sailing in climb down, lose yourself when you linger long into temptation right where you belong The guilty get no sleep in the last slow hours of morning experience is cheap I should've listened to the warning but the cradle is soft and warm Into temptation knowing full well the earth will rebel into your wide open arms no way to break the spell don't tell |

I was lying in a cave in the solid rock I was feeling pretty brave 'til the lights went off Sleep by no means comes too soon In a valley lit by the moon We left a little dust on his Persian rug We gathered up our clothes, got the washing done In a long forgotten place, who'll be the first to run? Sleep by no means comes too soon In a valley lit by the moon I was floating on a wave, then I made the drop I was climbing up the walls, Waiting for the band to start You can say the magic words I've got my senses on and this is the only place that I always run from Sleep by no means comes too soon In a valley lit by the moon.. |

(I pick you)
(Forgive me) Kill eye tumbling come out of the sky Kill eye, a fiery retreat from the stars Kill eye, he came clambering over the wall Kill eye, halfway to Hell and beyond I wanna be forgiven I wanna laugh with children Won't you ever forgive me? Please, please forgive me I wanna hug my mother And the sky above her I want the Earth to open up And hold me Kill eye, shoot your way out of the bank Kill eye, watch the security guard Kill eye, separate a man from his life I wanna be forgiven I wanna laugh with children I wanna ride the pony Be your one and only friend Yes, I will love you 'til the end Kill eye, half way to Hell and beyond I wanna hug my mother And the sky above her I want the Earth to open up I want the Earth to open up |

I've been locked out
I've been locked in But I always seem to come back again When you're in that room What do you do? I know that I will have you in the end And the clouds they are crying on you And the birds are offering up their tunes In a shack as remote as a mansion You escape into a place where nothing moves I've been locked out And I know we're through But I can't begin to face up to the truth I waited so long for the walls to crack But I know that I will one day have you back And the hills are as soft as a pillow And they cast a shadow on my bed And the view when I look through my window Is an altarpiece I'm praying to for the living and the dead Twin valley shines in the morning sun I send a message out to my only one And I've been locked out and I know we're through But I can't begin to face up to the truth I waited so long for the walls to crack But I know that I will one day have you back And I work with the bees and the honey And every night I circle like the moon And it's a act of simple devotion But it can take forever when you've got something to prove I've been locked out |

Seal my fate
I get your tongue in the mail No one is wise Until they see how it lies Love this life Don't wait 'til the next one comes Gonna pedal my faith The wheels are still turning round, turn round And maybe the day will come When you'll never have to feel no pain After all my complaining Gonna love this life, gonna love this life Love this life, love this life And so they threw you in jail Whatever you've done It was a million to one And don't you just love this life When it's holding you down? Gonna pedal my faith The wheels are still turning round, turn round So maybe the day will come When you'll never have to feel no pain After all my complaining Gonna love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love Here's something that you can do Even if you think that I hate you Stop your complaining Leave me defenseless When you love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love this life, though you'll never know why Gonna love this life, gonna love |

There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
That never see the light of day I want to drag them out, go for a walk Just to see the look that's on your face Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you So forgive me if I tell a lie Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it I will love you till the day I die I believe in doing things backwards Take heed, start doing things in reverse Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax I'm talking to myself you're coming with me Teaching you how to distort the facts Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you So forgive me if I tell a lie Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it I will love you till the day I die I believe in doing things backwards Take heed, start doing things in reverse Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain All makes me glad of you Though I am far away I am always with you Know the answer before you know the question Pull yourself together, baby, push with all you might I'm all alone, always alone Though I am far away I am always with you |

I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills Than a mansion in the slums When the taste of success only lasts you Half an hour or less, but it loves you when it comes And you laugh at yourself While you're bleeding to death I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room Than an isolation tank I wish I was a million miles away from the manager's door There is trouble at the bank You laugh at yourself As you go deep into debt Laugh at yourself While he's breathing down your neck Who can stop me With money in my pocket? Sometimes I get it free The best of both worlds, the best of both worlds I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills I'd much rather have a mansion in the hills Than a mansion in the slums Yeah, I'd much rather, what I mean is, would you mind if I had it all? I'll take it when it comes And you laugh at yourself While you're bleeding to death And somebody else is always Breathing down your neck Laugh at yourself While he's hanging over your head While he's breathing down your neck It'll soon be over (best of both worlds) With a mansion, mansion (Best of both worlds) oh (Best of both worlds) it'll soon be over |

She came all the way from America
Had a blind date with destiny And the sound of Te Awamutu Had a truly sacred ring Now her parents are divorced And her friend's committing suicide I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me So I talked to you for an hour In the bar of a small town hotel You asked me what I was thinking I was thinking of a padded cell With a black and white T.V. To stop us from getting lonely I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me No, I could not escape A plea from the heart Mysterious sympathy I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door You know what it means to me I saw you lying in the arms of a poet I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies (about me) Well whad'd'ya know, whad'd'ya know I could not escape You're down on the floor You know what it means to me I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door Mean ... You know what it means In the arms of a poet You know what it means |

My life is a house
You crawl through the window Skip across the floor and into the reception room You enter the place of endless persuasion Like a knock on the door When there's ten or more things to do Who is that calling? You my companion Run to the water on a burning beach And it brings me relief Pass through the walls To find my intentions Circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state I look into space There is no connection A million points of light And a conversation I can't face Cast me off one day To lose my inhibition Sit like a lap dog on the edge of his knee Wear the nails on your feet I woke up the house Stumbled in sideways The lights went on and everybody screamed ""Surprise!"" The savage review It left me gasping But it warms my heart to see that you can do it too Total surrender Your touch is so tender Your skin is like water on a burning beach And it brings me relief, it brings me relief, it brings me relief Like a night in your mind It brings me relief In the back door Under the stars And the scenery is my flaw In the back room Under the stars And the scenery is my flaw |

Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral Eyes to the ground It could've been you And why do you weep For the passing of ages? You slip with the back of your hand, you're taking it out on the one you love I couldn't believe it And we might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same How long must I wait For you to release me? I pay for each mistake While you suffer in silence I could still have an easy life But the lie ain't worth the living Once more will I hear you say That we might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same Never be the same Don't stand around Like friends at a funeral Eyes to the ground Don't suffer in silence 'Cause we might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same (And every time I hear you) Never be the same (And every time I mess up) Never be the same Never be the same Never be the same And every time I hear you And every time I mess up Never be, never be, never be, never be the same |

Down on the ocean floor
That's where I'm heading for Hold on to a sinking stone Until the worst is known. Nobody wants to think about it Nobody wants to talk about it Nobody Protects you They make it go away Pretending that it's all ok Broken pieces on the ground And everyones tip-toeing round Nobody wants to think about it Nobody wants to talk about it No-one Protects you Yeah Are we losing something We used to cry We used to say why For all I know I might not get home But I found out If we open it up We could work this out Nobody wants to think about it Nobody wants to talk about it Now What you suspected all along Everything he told you was wrong And you can see it if you want But nobody wants to |

It never used to be that bad
But neither was it great Somewhere in the middle then Content and much too safe Oh tell me please Why it takes so long To realise when there's something wrong Chorus: Lay me out with your heart Now we're getting somewhere Push me back to the start Now we're getting somewhere Take me out let me breathe Now we're getting somewhere When I'm with you I don't care Where it is I'm falling There's money in the Bible Belt Hugs for daddy too Three wishes for eternity We've got some work to do Oh tell me please, tell me what went wrong Cos I believe there is something wrong Chorus When you took me to your room I swear I said surrender When you opened up your mouth I saw the words fall out Though nothing much has changed I swear I will surrender There is pain in me heart We can choose what we choose to believe |
