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. |

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 |

Oh, Hell, trouble is coming
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 |

Into Temptation - Crowded House
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'd much rather have a caravan in the hills

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 |

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 |

Me like a beacon guiding you to safety The sooner the better now And when you come the hills Will breathe like a baby Pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean The sooner the better now When you come to cover me with your kisses Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like rain of blood to my emotions Chorus: And that is why I stumble to my knees And why underneath the heavens With the stars burning and exploding I know I could never let you down When you come like an iceberg float in darkness Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea I should know you better now When you come your majesty to entrap me Prince of light receding The sooner the better now And when you come to cover me With your kisses hard like armour The sooner the better now I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions (chorus) She came out of the water Into my horizon Like a cumulo nimbus Coming in from a distance Burning and exploding Burning and exploding Like a slow volcano When you come Cover the ground with ashes When you come |

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 |

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 |

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?

There is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead Many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road while you're traveling with me Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know that they won't win Now I'm towing my car There's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion, but there's no proof In the paper today Tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the TV page Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know that they won't win Now I'm walking again To the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only shadows ahead Barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and release Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us You know that they won't win Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now) Hey now, hey now Hey now, hey now Don't let them win (They come, they come) Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now) yeah (Hey now, hey now) |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in |

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 came
Out of this world to me My life Parted like the Red Sea We flowed Easy between the rocks and stones Never seemed to stop us The years Ended in confusion Don't ask me I don't know what happened But I am A man with a mission Must be the devil I don't know It's hard to let go Of all that we know As I walk away from you Hurled from my home Into the unknown As I walk away from you Reveal whatever you desire To you it may be death defying Black day In the coldness of winter Black words Slipping off my tongue I say forget it--it's over As a dark cloud covered up the sun It's hard to let go Of all that we know As I walk away from you The sun always sets With room for regrets As I walk away from you Give it to me Give it to me Your inspiration Give to receive Find all we need As I walk away Just a slave to ambition Tension your permanent condition So much you've always wanted Too much givin' you a sore head |

Oh, Hell, trouble is coming
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 |

Into Temptation - Crowded House
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 |

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 . |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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 |

I was standing on a wave, then I made the drop
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.. |

Locked Out - Crowded House
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're 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 And I've been locked out and I know we're through but I can't begin to face up to the truth I wait 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 valleys shine in the morning sun I send a message out to my only one Yet I've been locked out and I know we're through but I can't begin to face up to the truth I wait so long for the walls to crack but I know that I will one day have you back (yes, I will) And I work like bees in the honey every night I circle like the moon it's an act of simple devotion but it can take forever when you've got something to prove I've been locked out.... |

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 |

Pineapple Head
Detective is flat no longer is always flat out got the number of the getaway car didn't get very far As lucid as hell these images moving so fast like a fever so close to the bone I don't feel too well And if you choose to take that path I will play you like a shark and I'll clutch at your heart I'll come flying like a spark to enflame you Sleeping alone for pleasure, the pineapple head it spins and it spins like a number I hold don't remember if she was my friend it was a long time ago And if you choose to take that path Sleeping alone for pleasure, the pineapple head it spins and it spins like a number I hold don't remember if she was my friend it was a long time ago And if you choose to take that path would you come to make me pay? |

Private Universe - Crowded House
No time, no place to talk about the weather the promise of love is hard to ignore who said the chance wasn't getting any better the labor of love is ours to endure the highest branch on the apple tree it was my favorite place to be I could hear them breaking free but they could not see me *I will run for shelter endless summer lift the curse it feels like nothing matters in our private universe I have all I want, is that simple enough? a whole lot more I'm thinking of every night about six o'clock birds come back to the pond to talk they talk to me - birds to talk to me if I go down on my knees *Repeat It feels like nothing matters in our private universe And it's a pleasure that I have known and it's a treasure that I have gained and it's a pleasure that I have known It's a tight squeeze, but I won't let go time is on the table and the dinner's cold I will run for shelter endless summer lift the curse it feels like nothing matters in our private universe......... |

The odd times we slip
And slither down the dark hall Fingers point from old windows An eerie shadow falls I'm walking on the spot To show that I'm alive Moving every bone in my body From side to side Will we be in our minds when the dawn breaks Can we look the milkman in the eye The world is somehow different, you have all been changed Before my very eyes Walk around your home Pour yourself a drink Fire one more torpedo, baby Watch the kitchen sink You're lounging on the sofa, maybe See the living room die The dishes are unwashed and broken All you do is cry See the living room die The dishes are unwashed and broken All you do is cry |

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? |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Love can make you weep, it can make you run for cover
Roots that spread so deep, bring life to frozen ground (Something so strong) could carry us away (Something so strong) could carry us today Turning in my sleep, love can leave you cold The taste of jealousy, is like a lust for gold (Something so strong) could carry us away (Something so strong) could carry us today (I've been) feeling so much older (Frame me) and hang me on the wall (I've seen) you fall into the same trap (This thing) is happening to us all (Bridge) (Something so strong) could carry us away (Something so strong) could carry us today (Something so strong) (Something so strong) (Something so strong) Something something so strong |

You take away my air
You make my lungs collapse I die tonight Feeling devastated That's what I call Livin' in your memory That's what I call Tired and deflated That's what I call Love I tidy up your room You tidy up my life Show me the door I'm abandoned here I'm warm to the core I can feel You sink I swim We never got in that deep You bend I break I die tonight Feeling devastated That's what I call Hangin' on and falling over That's what I call Tired and deflated That's what I call Love I got a little room The air's still pretty bad I die tonight Feeling devastated That's what I call Hanging on and falling over That's what I call Tired and deflated That's what I call Feeling devastated That's Living with a vacuum cleaner What Sweepin' up your memory I call love |

Look at all the plans I made
Falling down like scraps of paper I will leave them where they lie to remind me From the past a rumour comes Don't let it keep draggin' you down Throw the memory in an open fire You'll be free Roll back the tombstone Let the saints appear Roll back the tombstone Make a new man out of me Beware the passenger The train already left the station We are neither at home nor at work We are moving Listen to the howling of steel A face betraying no emotion Like you never had a chance to be Wild and free Roll back the tombstone Let the saints appear Roll back the tombstone Till the Lone Ranger rides again Rides again in your mind Rode across the open plain All the way and back again |

Here's someone now whose got the muscle
His steady hand could move a mountain Expert in bed but come on now There must be something missing That golden one leads a double life You'll find out But I don't know where you go Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live So here we lie against each other These four walls can never hold us We're looking for wide open spaces High above the kitchen And we're strangers here On our way to some other place But I don't know where you go Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live The world where you live When friends come round You might remember and be sad Behind their eyes is unfamiliar Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live ... |
