Driving me home in your car watching you drive
Through obstacles and icicles, keeping my mind on its lead Keeping it warm, with chemicals and therapy Turn it on take me over crazy sister Digging a hole in your heart Watching you breathe, punishment and oxygen Letting my mind off its lead I watched it disappear, to somewhere dark and reassuring Turn it on (can you believe it) Take me over (it's psychomazingly true) Turn it on crazy sister And when I feel it (it's psychomazing it's you) Staying at home. Plugging it in Kissing the screen, being a god Staying at home, screwing it in Fucking the screen, being a god Turn it on (can you feel it) Crazy sister Turn it on (can you believe it) Crazy sister Turn it on, take me over Crazy sister Crazy sister ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By D.

When he found her
He stayed down there With his velvet pills And her purple hair In a room so dark They could barely crawl With orange posters On Victorian walls It was Saturday night And he felt like death She just wanted to be loved Like anybody else Saturday night And the clock never stopped She felt like a loser On top or the pops The Chelsea lovers With guillotine lips Mascara egos Doing a magazine strip Chelsea lovers In a vicious town With lipstick futures Like a couple of clowns Strange creatures In the eider down Teenage oblivion Waiting to be crowned Holes in the mattress Where these beasts have lain Awake until morning With ice in their veins Facing each other Their eyes never met He just wanted to be straight It never happened to him yet Both of them laughing But they can't understand What it is about friendship Makes you hold your own hand The Chelsea lovers Oh how they can talk With their tongues connected And their skin like chalk Chelsea lovers They're joined at the hip With the power of madness At their fingertips Chelsea lovers With their limbs entwined Making moon sized promises From their molecule minds Stardust lovers In a Ziggy cartoon Two solemn lovers In a Chelsea room. |

I fell down on it Valentine's day
Dropped my flowers in the rain And got carried away The tide was coming in I could have been sad I could have been amused But I was just in pieces It was then that I knew The tide was coming in Aaahh this pattern on the back of my hand It makes a joke of me and the veins are like Rivers in sand running out to sea Nobody slept on the night of the crash We were all covered in devil grey ash The tide was coming in I could have been dead I could have been underground But somebody decided I should stick around The tide was coming in Aaahh I know I'm just killing time But time is killing me My eyes are witness to this crime and looking out to sea ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By D.

the first man was a juggler, and his skill was very great
but he said that he was leaving, he said he couldn't wait. the second came with jewels that flickered on his hand and he spoke about tomorrow as if it were another land. a lady caught between them said she should be free but they just looked bewildered, and said "yes so should we". "how on Earth" yelled the author "does the tale make it's sense" "it's alive with the truth but we must have the proof how can we open the door" well the next man had religion, it made him very proud he said he'd found his inner bliss, he said very loud but a group of men surpassed him with science, skills, and speed they hurled down his conceptions and dug up all his weeds. the lady she looked worried, she asked if this was wise "of course it is, it's logic, brains and enterprise". the last man had no number and didn't say a word he didn't even answer them when they said he was absurd they made him sign a treaty to give up all he owned and searched his pockets anxiously to see if he had gold the lady was enchanted and said they ought to see so they charged her with subversion and made her watch T.V. i'm a man with no future with no past or no time and i live by the door lord i live by the door i won't be back no more. we are fighting a losing battle no one is winning no one's beginning we are looking for something that's missing dark all around us darknees surrounding we are on the doorway of knowledge have we the wisdom? have we the wisdom? |

Two days of holiday Today we didn't worry about clothes we wear No more jokes on the old school board No cracks about out hair Janitor George, you cannot see me Janitor George, It's great to be free Hide,hide,hide,hideway Today is scrolled we play Dirty school inspectors will not suspect we're here No more French on the old school bench No mouths behind our ears Janitor George, you cannot see me Janitor George, it's great to be free With life is what you make it And you miss school today Good ol'Smitty and his spouse what you send away We're going round We dare not make a sound To the house of my best friend To shed the tears found The door you left to gasp and She takes out and shows to you the photographs Takes out and shows to you the photographs What the pictures shows is awfully clear to me My friend is older than I, Freeze their eyes so clear to me. But I should runaway and go upstairs and play the final railway Go upstairs and play with my mother railway What goes on at night when there is no one else around Is the strangest part of growing up, that I've yet found The wat-a-doans running deep today at school was real It fail to answer questions about the way I feel May be I were clear,may be I were queer It could be by tomorrow,the answers will be found In these patges are the magazines, the figures left around Late into the night, we would wonder if the dialogue is right We will wonder if the dialogue is right. Wonder if my parents were in about this sort of thing Or am I artificial, has my dad lost his sting Lovely girl lives up the road,she's much older than I I'd really like to know her,if the whole theory I try To see if it is real, to see just how it feels Hush now the boy is sleeping And we don't want to wake him til morning He's larger by day to take back to school that he hates And so let's leave him dreaming Until the morning sun shines through His window, let's leave him dreaming Until the morning let's leave him dreaming Let's leave him dreaming Let's leave him dreaming |

Stuck in a home
Home for lonely folks Gazing from his window at the snow Where did you go so wrong? You struggled all your life To keep you children warm and safe Make the world a better,world a better place Stuck in a home Home for lonely folks Gazing from his window at the snow Through Two long walls And many years of strive What is the value of a life? Men were old and functioning It's science in control You're better off now wher you are I hope you rest, I hope you rest in peace |

The facts of life are very simple

What is this point of no returning Where I am standing with my friend There is no basis left for loving There is no star, gonna end Don't let it get you [12X] |

Just seen the soul
Just on patrol in dairy What they're thinking? Bet they wish they could stay at home Go out drinking in the evenings just've seen the newsprint tonight Violence increasing, an explosion Suddenly a public has end up. Probably suspected someone's cheating Surely you see at the top of the stairs A young mother cries Convinced that her husband lies bleeding Behind while thirty more die See how here eyes glow She's going insane And you tell me And where's the show Who's to blame? The next sunday that too. Will it happen again, again So you think you can get away Hold on brighter for a season discuss the issues from day to day Looking for reasons on paper Surely you see at the side of the road what looks like a bomb Chauffers with children like leaving and dying What have they done See how our eyes glow We're going insane And you tell me, enquires the show Who's to blame? But in the morning You fool, it will happen again, again. Ah! ... |

I’m counting the number of cars
Rolling into my life Broken by alibis Running from all those lies Watching a number of dreams Flowing away from me Bum lifts from heavy loads Burn wheels on southern roads Feel the distance that I put between Me and my childhood Hang on to what remains Leave trails of broken chains High tail for Spanish Mains Feeling I’m lost in my way Too proud to lift my eyes and say Life’s not the same as I Thought that it might have been Heard a lot of places such as these I remember stories, pirates, the seas, the breeze Bum lifts from heavy loads Burn wheels on southern roads |

Yes I said softly, but the flowers are all gone His son must have moved south It seems that he is now long gone Look at that mine, so empty so bare I think it’s a closure, the new gas is cheaper by far And what of the men now that their jobs are not there I cannot say Jenny but their ghost is haunting the air Jenny I do not feel happy at all The heart is not here, something is gone It seems as to be that the soul of the north Is floating away in the air On the canal did you see those factories there They once made an Empire, but now people buy from elsewhere And as for the grey stone, the dark stone, the black stone Once it was strong, but now it rolls over and over She rested her head on my shoulder and started to sleep As I gazed from the window out into the day Jenny I do not feel happy at all The heart is not here, something is gone It seems as to be that the soul of the north Is floating away in the air |

Let me see you thrust your snows In innocence through clouds of doubt That try to keep your reason out In these times of glaciated slaughter If you're gonna be a legend Let it be a tale whose telling Is a state of mind that's dwelling Far beyond the words dark capture To fill the heart alone with rapture In these days of circles If your gonna be an island I will be a sailing ship Who like a speck at total distance Looms beyond your headland breakers Till the oceans mighty plunder Bids me seek the gentler shelter Of your inland waters Have you never seen beyond the moon?

To keep our love alive To keep you by my side But the winter and my pride Dissolved into the Spring Oh love is a very funny thing I'm sure you know And though you lose someone you keep your soul The fresh unfaded green Makes my heart to dream And the April rain Washes me clean again Of the sorrows that held me down Oh love is a very funny thing It lingers on And a part of me is always she love is a very funny thing It lingers on And a part of me is always she |

The Duke of Beaufort
Is not at home today He's very tired He thought he'd go away You wait for him, Your eyes are on the door You know no other way The Duke of Beaufort Is very kind to cats Keeps them in his cellar To help him catch his rats He's very noble And his lineage is pure But you, you're a whore The Duke of Splendour Just wasn't much amused And nor were you You knew you'd been abused If you'd had help You might have buggered up his fuse But alone, you're too confused "He picked me up, I was on the street He made it clear he would use me My parents died, I was three years old I had to make a living" Close your eyes, close your eyes "In a lot of ways, I'm close to him Though he may seem to ignore it I'm sure he cares, At least, I think he does It's just he's very busy" Close your eyes, close your eyes Here's today says the ‘Telegraph' It's the world, it's the world! Gone away on a phonograph Riding high, riding high There's a way says the Cenotaph You will find, you will find Gone in search of an Epitaph Running wild, running wild You saw them coming forward Asking you to be kind You couldn't face their council They were men full of greed In your position nothing's sacred You have only the wine You stand alone But not alone in your loneliness And yet there must be more I can't believe that all has been in vain And if there is it's Be sure of friendship As the hours grow long Rest assured that this phase is passing Give yourself a chance |

He's got a gun he really thinks he's something
He don't have to run he got a sub machine gun He told his Mum he's gonna join the army Look at your son he's gonna be a man Ma He got a uniform Over the seas he's gonna fight for freedom Waving a flag he's gonna be a hero Never afraid, he's gonna conquer evil Do as he's told and make a perfect soldier He got a uniform Watch yourself soldier boy you missed the point son Discipline soldier boy, you disappoint me You just do not, you just do not see You're needing a skirt to hide your lack of brain boy Don't it just hurt to have to think yourself boy A clear right and wrong, there'll be no complications No need to think or write those disertations He got a uniform Watch yourself soldier boy you missed the point son Discipline soldier boy, you disappoint me You just do not, you just do not see Caught in a crumbling castle, who are we Torn by salvations dragon, hope lives on And so down into a time where Liberty and Freedom have no significance in the current economic crisis |

Looking I opened wide
Daring my eyes to find Standing on the edge can we go forward Living in fear of it And yet too near to return Slipping, I fell inside Crumbling walls collide Breaking preconceived ideas like matchsticks No rock to stand on it No sure reality world It's so wide It's so wide It's so wide Come a little closer to me If you think you dare Nothing else can matter to me All the rest is air Magic has drawn me in Giving my eyes to you Herein lies a message Keep it secret I have no chains for you There are no ties in the world It's so wide It's so wide It's so wide |

Run, run, run, runaway
Today's a holiday Today we needn't worry About the clothes we wear No more ‘geog' on the old school bog no cracks about our hair Janitor Giles, you cannot see me Janitor Giles, it's great to be free Hide, hide, hide, hide away Today it's truant we play Dodgy school inspectors Will not suspect we're here No more French on the old school bench No clouts behind our ears Janitor Giles, you cannot see me Janitor Giles, it's great to be free But life is what you make it And you missed school today Good old Smithy and his pals What keeps them away We're going round We dare not make a sound To the house of my best friend To a shed that he has found And oh you'll have to gasp As he takes out and shows to you the photograph Takes out and shows to you the photograph What the picture shows Is awfully clear to me My friends older than I Fest their eyes so greedily But I shall run away and go upstairs and play with my model railway What goes on at night When there is no-one else around Is the strangest part of growing up that I've yet found Though what the doe and rabbit did today at school was real It failed to answer questions about the way I feel Maybe I'm a queer? It could be by tomorrow The answers will be found In these pages of a magazine The Vicars left around And late into the night We will wonder if the dialog was right We will wonder if the dialog was right Wonder if my parents worry about this kind of thing Or am I artificial, has my dad lost his sting? A lovely girl lives up the road She's much older than I I'd really like to know her Give the whole theory a try To see if it is real To see just how it feels Hush now the boy is sleeping And we don't want him to wake him until the morning He's got a hard day to take At the school that he hates And so let's leave him dreaming Until the morning sun shines through his window Let's leave him dreaming Until the morning Let's leave him dreaming |

Stuck in an old
Home for lonely folks Gazing from his window at the snow Where did you go so wrong? You struggled all your life To keep your children warm and safe Make the world a better World a better place Stuck in an old Home for lonely folks Gazing from his window at the snow Through two long wars And many years of strife What is the value of a life? Men well oiled and functioning Is science in control? You're better off now where you are I hope you rest I hope you rest in peace |

I'm 21, but gosh I do feel old!
Too much concerned With things which shouldn't worry me Or hurry me, or make me rush I'm really flash, but gosh I do feel bad! Completely smashed Careering down life's avenues I'm out of place and out of touch Rolling over on Wings of Thunder We're riding out to the Sun Haring over on Wings Of Thunder We're bound to make it the Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun We're gonna make it the Sun Now I'm in love, and she has got me hooked But things are good With poor old me delirious She takes it all so serious Rolling over on Wings of Thunder We're riding out to the Sun Haring over on Wings Of Thunder We're bound to make it the Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun We're gonna make it the Sun My head has spread, it won't stay in one place Confused and laced I'm liking going haywire And I find I have a taste for the pace Rolling over on Wings of Thunder We're riding out to the Sun Haring over on Wings Of Thunder We're bound to make it the Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun We're gonna make it the Sun |

World's Eyes ? see for miles
Light We are gonna help you We are gonna help you Each man is human, we all need each other And walls burn eyes Light We are gonna help you I'm not a person, my cells are exploding I'm you, yearn, insane? Go from this room Leave right away There's nothing here There's nothing here to make you stay It's not so sad You'll find another You'll find someone who needs a home That you can share You're very young There's time to put away your cares But don't forget We were together And through forever I will know that you were there You need to laugh So go to where the light is clear As for understanding If there's such a thing existing There's a sparkle in your eyes I find it hard to put in words And you take me to the depth of sorrow Pleading for no more tomorrow Hanging on the edge of moments I can't bear to end I'd have loved you if you'd seen beyond the time You gotta know we're waiting here You gotta know we're waiting here You gotta know All things will flow As sure as water As sure as silence I will meet you once again Nothing will change There are no changes There's only pages Where the book remains the same Give fortune time And we will meet between these lines As for understanding If there's such a thing existing There's a sparkle in your eyes I find it hard to put in words And you take me to the depth of sorrow Pleading for no more tomorrow Hanging on the edge of moments I can't bear to end I'd have loved you if you'd been beyond the line You gotta know we're waiting here You gotta know we're waiting here You gotta know, You gotta know You gotta know |

The facts of life are very simple
A job some money, settle down There's lots of things that may distract you Ignore them, lest they do you harm They say a dreamer always stumbles They say a dreamer has to fall Onto the rocks of what is solid Into the arms of what is all Don't let it get you My eyes were cracked my body broken My thoughts all bent my seam was torn Stood lost in space with no direction When suddenly I heard a call Don't let it get you What is this point of no returning Where I am standing with my friends There is no basis left for learning There is no start or end Don't let it get you |

Just seen the soldiers on patrol in Derry
What they thinking? Bet they wish they could stay at home Go out drinking in the evening Just seen the newsprint tonight Violence increasing, an explosion Suddenly a public house went off bang Foul play suspected, someone's cheating Surely you see at the top of the stairs A young mother cries Convinced that her husband lies bleeding, defying While 13 more died See how her eyes glow She's going insane And you tell me enquiries will show Whose to blame But next Sunday at 2, will happen again, again. So you think you can get away Go down to Brighton for a season Discuss the issues from day to day Looking for reasons on paper Surely you see at the side of the road What looks like a bomb Shoppers with children lie bleeding and dying But what have they done See how our eyes glow We're going insane And you tell me enquiries will show Whose to blame But Maudling, you fool, it will happen again, again |

I’m counting the number of cars
Rolling into my life Broken by alibis Running from all those lies Watching a number of dreams Flowing away from me Bum lifts from heavy loads Burn wheels on southern roads Feel the distance that I put between Me and my childhood Hang on to what remains Leave trails of broken chains High tail for Spanish Mains Feeling I’m lost in my way Too proud to lift my eyes and say Life’s not the same as I Thought that it might have been Heard a lot of places such as these I remember stories, pirates, the seas, the breeze Bum lifts from heavy loads Burn wheels on southern roads |

Don't be scared of shadows
Nasty man who lurk Lots of rotten bullies Pushing you around They will never steal What it means to feel The wonders of being without Where I stand it seems that existence Is resistance to despair Now I know my life's not been easy But at least it has been there Sometimes there'll be good times Some folk can be kind But the wind that blows inside us Will be blind For this time I have waited for ages All my pages have been dry I've been lost in the swirling of potions All my motions have been high(?) Over every molehill Under every mile For the essence of motion is devotion To the wheel So you see I'm not going to mind it Or define it in degrees Every inch of being is like old time Is the right time to be free |

The lights were high and burning
The room was filled up with men Some playing cards for higher stakes Some looking into telescopes pointed within them Be with me, it's you and me I feel you're on my side Be my space, a trace of lace A face that's near to mine They're going back, they've had it They're slipping up on their ends These foolish men with eyes of ice A culmination of things that were never inevitable Be my wing, my everything My platform to the sky Be my gem, a star for them Upon the other side I'm caught on a cloud Feeling mortified I'm floating away A stranger with no eyes A loser with no ties A laughter rings With plenty to do I never would complain Feet losing the ground I'm always out of time I always miss the line That doesn't count But oh no, no, no no Why must I always be far away, Gone astray, caught like a bubble in the wind? They took him away They said that he was mad He told them the truth They said he had to pay They said he couldn't stay They always choose But oh no, no, no no Why must I always be far away, Gone astray, acting like traitors trapped in time? |
