She fell in love with my singing
She knew the bells started ringing She thought there was only her there But, me, I just live for the clapping A hand delivery of an invite to my premiere When he fell in love, I was acting I sent her flowers, asked her to marry me But all I heard was their clapping Now she cries with a cigarrette at the window He croons and moans like he's hurting She cries so well He croons and moans, just croons and moans Now, I never thought [I had no idea] she needed direction And he was at the mercy of his writers For the songs I needed [for me] to touch her Those sad, sad songs to make me happy Now she cries with a cigarrette at the window He croons and moans like he's hurting She cries so well He croons and moans, just croons and moans We re-enact the love scenes from her/my movies But I never thought, but she uses a stand-in His voice is croakier every day now And she cries so well |

There's a city filth that lingers
All over my naked hands Deep into the weave of the clothes I wear And every step brings another Every hour adds some more Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door Are the taps running, darling? Is the air thick with steam? Can I find some place to cry these tears of shame? Every step brings another Every hour adds some more Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door There's a smell so sweet it's sickly It follows me into the room Hangs in the air like rotting perfume I never bathe in it, darling Got down on my hands and knees Got in so far, I became, well, a part of it all I've been wading through it Don't you know it's up to my neck? And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head And it's the thought of you in my mind, keeps me. . . Thought I knew these streets, and how they turn Could always find my way home There's something there, can't leave it alone The trains they run all night We could leave everything behind Just bring that dress you bought when we first met I know it's faded, darling I know it's tattered and worn In that dress, I could never love you more I've been wading through it Don't you know it's up to my neck? And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head And I can suck it into my love, breathe it in |

I'm crawling, don't know where to or from
The centre of things from where everything stems Is not where I belong And the city sickness, growing inside me So this is where I ran for freedom Where I may not be free *I have these hands beating with love for you And you're not here to touch Sent you away, what else can I do When I need something that much? I'm hurting babe, in the city there's no place for love It's just used to make people feel better It's not like us I got this sickness as I got off the train Now it chafes away at my heart Until nothing remains I'm okay afterwards Afterwards lasts for minutes only I'm okay during You kind of fill up my mind It's just that before, may last forever It's just that before, may just fuck my mind * Repeat |

Two hours twenty minutes
To one, five past Now it's laying somewhere out there in the ground And I've lost you I was cheated It was something belonged only to me And now it's gone through my own stupidity And I lost you I was cheated Two whole years spent earning your love Now it's hanging around in the clouds Well I've lost you I was cheated I'm cheated by my own vanity Whispering rumours, bullying me Well I spent it It wasn't worth it And for those who are not so beautiful as her Not giving excuses, but oh... When it's originally tossed away It can easily be reclaimed by her By her All those years spent building myself up Trying to stop my staring And start taking two steps instead of one But they're so gone now chorus |

Scared of my shadow
Afraid of myself Never thought I could be so shallow Resort to playing a man It's a thin line that I walk for her A thin line that I walk Between myself and what I have to do The action and the thought *Oh her, her, it's her Oh, her, her Feel like I've been dancing The lights have finally come on Just waiting for my eyes adjusting To see how ugly I've become She asked me for no promises I made them to myself I've given myself no choices now It's the only way out She tied back her hair Wrapped the band around Pulled off her rings And dropped them in a jar I'm not there, not waving my arms round I've gotten the `flu It's blocking my heart To her * Repeat |

I was dressed for success
But success, it never comes And I'm the only one who laughs At your jokes when they are so bad And you're jokes are always bad But they're not as bad as this *Come join us in a prayer We'll be waiting, waiting where Everything's ending here And all the sterile striking it Defends an empty dock you cast away And rain upon your forehead Where the mist's for hire If it's just too clear Let's spend our last 1/4 stance randomly Go down to the outlet once again Painted portrait of minions and slaves Crotch mavens and one night plays Are they the only ones who laugh? At the jokes when they are so bad And the jokes are always bad But they're not as bad as this * Repeat And all the Spanish candles unsold Have gone away to this And a "run-on piece of mount on" Trembles, shivers runs down the freeway I guess she spent her last quarter randomly I guess a guess is the best I'll do |

Should stop now You're tired and you want to be free My love grows stronger as you become a habit to me I've been loving you a little too long I can't stop now With you my life has been so wonderful I can't stop now You're tired and your love is growing cold My love grows stronger as our affair grows old I've been loving you a little too long I can't stop now I've been loving you a little too long I can't stop now Don't make me stop now Don't make me stop now |

Her haircut, she looked virtually naked
In that dress growing ever tighter It was saddening the lengths she had gone to To appear more attractive In the process losing something We never knew but still missed You knew you were lost as soon as you saw her You saw your life as a series of complicated dance steps Impossible to learn, they had to come naturally Together you squirmed and wriggled And I could only jerk along behind *They're going to hurt you They always will She is now with me, inside of you And I could only stare wide-eyed As everything closed in around the three of us Things you never saw, talking of the power and rescue The blood rushing through our body,it was good * Repeat She opened the door his face bruised and swollen Before he knew, pushed, falling down curved stairs Our message lost and our plans forgotten Surrounded by men in suits, and black shiny shoes Moving in, kicking, stamping Bland expressionless faces A handful of marbles thrown in a dustbin Memories, memories * Repeat In a northern town there were amazing [ ? ] stones arranged on the southern slope They got out in the last few seconds of consciousness Look for their inscriptions one day, the most distant ocean plains, those who make the desert island I saw you in a tin bath in red water Were the ones who went to Washington to do their laundry They wanted to see the mysterious hurricane I never believed in New York, or where you intended to stand But we don't actually want to see the shipwrecked I just had to go They came |

I know it's wrong
I know it's selfish YOU'VE SUCH A SHORT LIFE You've so little time You know this pattern Patchwork of any direction Cobbled together In odd shape and size Take my hand, we'll walk through this together But my hand gets sweaty You somehow slip away Try to call you, but I don't call too loud, no Try to love, and never look that hard *Cos this blue's a swirling ocean The green, the ambition The red is the guilt There's a lot of red I know it's wrong I know it's selfish Such a short life So little time Try to call you, but I don't call too loud, no Try to love, but never look that hard * Repeat The yellow is my sunshine Comes out on odd occasion Barely enough to keep you around |

You've been lying in bed for a week now
Wondering how long it'll take You haven't spoken or looked at her in all that time It's the easiest line you could break She's been going (about) around her business as usual Always with that melancholy smile But you were too busy looking into your (affairs) head To see those tiny tears in her eyes Tiny tears make up an ocean Tiny tears make up a sea Let them pour out, pour out all over Don't let them pour all over me How can you hurt someone so much your supposed to care for Someone you said you'd always be there for But when that water breaks you know you're gonna cry, cry When those tears start rolling you'll be back Tiny tears... You've been thinking about the time, you've been dreading it But now it seems that moment has arrived She's at the edge of the bed, she gets in But it's hard to turn the opposite way tonight Tiny tears... |

There are places I don't remember
There are times and days, they mean nothing to me I've been looking through some of them old pictures They don't serve to jog my memory I'm not waking in the morning, staring at the walls these days I'm not getting out the boxes, spread all over the floor I've been looking through some of them old pictures Those faces they mean nothing to me no more *I travel light You travel light Everything I've done You say you can justify, mmm you travel light I can't pick them out, I can't put them in these sad old bags Some things you have to lose along the way Times are hard, I'll only pick them out, wish I was going back Times are good, you'll be glad you ran away Do you remember, how much you loved me? You say you have no room in that thick old head Well it comes with the hurt and the guilt, and the memories If I had to take them with me I would never get from my bed There's a crack in the roof where the rain pours through That's the place you always decide to sit Yeah I know I'm there for hours, the water running down (my) (your)face Do you really think you keep it all that well hid? No but I travel light You don't travel light Everything I've done It's just a lie, you don't travel light I'm travelling light No you don't travel light I'm travelling light No, no, you don't travel light I'm travelling light You don't travel light |

There was something that I meant to say Like falling from my heart But I don't know how Before you close your eyes I don't know how Chorus: I never cry for our love I never cry I never cry for our love I never cry There's no goodbye These hands have always lived through mine Now everything I touch I feel I don't know how Before you close your eyes I don't know how Chorus I'm so cynical It's in my face and It's just the bird I caught Leaves its taste hanging round round round Chorus Just as your eyes are closing There was something that I meant to say Like falling from my heart But I don't know how Before you close your eyes I don't know how Chorus Never cry.... never cry |

I said that I love them Looking over my shoulder at the door So many times I can't live without her The wheel kept turning round My feeling's changed I went my own way What can I say To make you stay? Cos in my dreams They smother all over me And I'm trying to explain So many arms Reach from my memories Pull all at once I'm lost amongst The folds in their skin I did you wrong But I'm sorry now And I'll show you how If you were here now You couldn't change you wouldn't understand but I'm ready now I'm ready now I'll make you proud I was your man and sing a song but it's so ugly now and I'll show you how cos I'm ready now I'm ready now I'm ready now I'm ready now Hey I'm ready now Can we start again? so many times I said that I loved them I'm ready now but I'm ready now Can we start again? so many times I can't live without her The years was more than I could bear It's turning round But in my dreams Can we start again? They smother all over me I'm ready now And I'm trying to explain Can we start again? So many arms reach from my memory The wheels kept turning round |

Likes ones you've never heard Oh those pretty words What can they say? It felt like the first summer's day When I heard those pretty words Oh those pretty words Oh those... Pretty words Like ones you've only overheard They hang together like pearls I can't even say Do you feel so much better now Now you've heard those pretty words Oh those pretty words Oh those... Oh those pretty words They hang all around me now Like a nicotine string of pearls I'm falling inside them now When there's a sound you hear And it feels like everything And it feels like everything And it feels like... You're just such a pretty one You make everything feel undone Waiting for those hands to come Waiting for those hands. |

You've been lying in bed for a week now
Wondering how long it'll take You haven't spoken or looked at her in all that time For that was the easiest line you could break She's been going round her business as usual Always with that melancholic smile But you were too busy looking into your affairs To see those tiny tears in her eyes Chorus: Tiny tears make up an ocean Tiny tears make up a sea Let them pour out, pour out all over Don’t let them pour all over me How can you hurt someone so much you're supposed to care for Someone you said you'd always be there for But when that water breaks you know you're gonna cry, cry When those tears start rolling you'll be back Chorus Tiny tears make up an ocean Tiny tears make up a sea Let them pour out, pour out all over Don't let them pour all over me You've been thinking about the time, you've been dreading it But now it seems that moment has arrived She's at the edge of the bed, she gets in But it's hard to turn the opposite way tonight Chorus Don't let them pour all over me |

My my, it doesn't matter what you say
From the start, I hang off every word you say Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Does it make it all right? Are you trying to fall in love again? Now, I'm a hard man gone soft The lines were so clear then How did I ever get by? There was a time I hang off every word you say Every breath you blew, I was running to inhale Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Does it make it all right? Are you trying to fall in love again? My my, there will be other days It comes and goes, you know it never stays Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Does it make it all right? Are you trying to fall in love again? Does it make it all right? You're trying to fall in love again |

Greed's all gone now, there's no question
And I can see you push your hair behind your ear Regain your balance Doesn't matter where she is tonight Or with whoever she spends her time If these arms were meant to hold her They were never meant to hold her so tight For the love of that girl Greed's all gone now, panic subsides When I could run, pulling arms to love her Try to put myself on the inside Of the love of that girl Tears swell, you don't know why For the love of that girl They never fall, they can never run dry For the love of that girl Promise is never over, never questions that needed reply But she could breathe deep into my neck Let me know I'm just on the outside Of the love of that girl Tears swell, you don't know why For the love of that girl They never fall, they can never run dry For the love of that girl Greed's all gone now, there's no question And I can see you push your hair behind your ears Regain your balance Doesn't matter where she is tonight Or with whoever she spends her time If these arms were meant to hold her They were never meant to hold her so tight For the love of that girl Tears swell, you don't know why For the love of that girl They never fall, they can never run dry For the love of that girl |

The first time we flew in
It was cheap and cramped The vodka running out half-way across the Atlantic Even the steward screamed and joined in it We didn't think we were going to make it Now we're stretched out in wide, furry seats Flicking through menus A walk to the bar and there's as much screw-top champagne as we can drink We're so easy Taking turns having our photos taken Sitting in front of small windows Decanters of cheap whiskey in our hands Drive into Manhattan on a date with a starlet who's just talent That's what people pay the money to see Who are we to argue? Five hours now it's been going on And still we're watching all of it Can you really believe all this? Can he really lie in bed at night and marvel at his own genius? When do you lose the ability to step back And get a sense of your own ridiculousness? They're only songs Midnight, and it's all over Now it can really make us laugh We're standing on our heads drinking sours of Crystal Schnapps Now we're unable to step back or forward Swallowing a swallow Tasting it again, it's not so unpleasant Perhaps it's an acquired taste The first time, it makes you sick Then, little by little, it becomes delicious Showbiz people Always there to be interested in what you say We are artists; we are sensitive and important We nod our heads earnestly Already half-way down the champagne On our way to leaving the place dry A $2,000 bar bill Showbiz picks up the tab And we're on our way laughing Laughing at what? Los Angeles, eight days in And our sense of irony's running pretty thin All the friends we've made It's 2 am, it's closing time at the Dresden Marty and Layton play one last sleepy "Strangers in the Night" And the last of the martinis dribble down our chins We're sitting, chasing the conservation around the table Jesus, how long have I been in this state? The limousine's still waiting outside Anything you want to do? Anywhere you want to go? We're on our way to the airport and a plane to Vegas So many nights lying in bed shaking Dreaming of pushing my daughter around the supermarket The joy of seeing all those colours and shapes reflected in her wide eyes My head leaning on the window And we're driving through the empty L.A. streets And everything seems silent and beautiful A guy's face hits the floor Police revolvers glistening in the streetlight Onto Melrose and lurching through a sea of Halloween transvestites The flight's cancelled, but it doesn't matter We turn this corner to a way that takes us wherever Up to Sunset We creep up the drive to the Shattuck The suite Belushi died in Or the one Morrison hung out of the window Oh, I'll go for Jim's I would fancy a little window-hanging myself, tonight, man Straight over to the mini-bar Open the champagne -- one sip and it's left to wake up to Anyone hungry? A team of uniformed waiters lay out an elaborate table for all us to ignore Oh, the irony How we're used to living Back in London on a cold Friday night Do you want another drink? Well, I could try Perhaps we could make it to the Atlantic 600 yards, twenty minutes later We're pushing through the waiting crowd, all fish eyes An exclusive door policy Exclusively for arseholes And tonight? Well, a nod of our heads, and we're inside Falling down the red, velvety stairs Limbs flaying, hands searching for something to steady Pick ourselves up, nothing broken Just aches in the morning No one seems to notice I find a table, champagne arrives I've been so drunk, I sit and look at you We try and talk for the first time in a long time Drunken confessions You shiver, it made you feel sick We use the rent money to pay the bill Bumping shoulders, we stumble out into Soho Slipping over the sleeping bags Shouting for taxis |

There's a city filth that lingers
All over my naked hands Deep into the weave of the clothes I wear And every step brings another Every hour adds some more Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door Are the taps running, darling? Is the air thick with steam? Can I find some place to cry these tears of shame? And every step brings another Every hour adds some more Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door There's a smell so sweet it's sickly It follows me into the room Hangs in the air like rotting perfume I never bathe in it, darling Got down on my hands and knees Got in so far, I became, well, a part of it all I've been wading through it Don't you know it's up to my neck? And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head And it's the thought of you in my mind, keeps me here. Thought I knew these streets, and how they turn Could always find my way home There's something there, I can't leave it alone The trains they run all night We could leave everything behind Just bring that dress you wore when we first met I know it's faded, darling I know it's tattered and worn In that dress I could never love you more I've been wading through it Don't you know it's up to my neck? And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head And I can suck it into my love, breathe it in |

I'm laying on my back
She climbs over me Pricks out her nails Runs them over my proud belly I'm a tired, hungry bear Spoiled and sleepy Her finger's on my zipper She pulls it down slowly I'm not ready Turn over, settle down again Throw her off But she's back again I've been out all night Get in at dawn And I've still got honey Dripping from my claws I'm a tired, hungry bear Spoiled and sleepy Her finger's on my zipper She pulls it down slowly I'm not ready Turn over, settle down again Throw her off But she's back again |

I could take all the craziness out of you That's what I loved you for Take away all the oranges, greens and blues That's what I loved you for Take a look at me You think it really could be that easy? I mean, take a look at me You think it really could be that easy for you? I know about guys, I know where they live And you're just the same The ones that matter fight against themselves But it's so hard to change Hey, I could love you Take all that love away from you Hey, I could love you Put you in this box I've made for two So you could take all this craziness out of me That's what you love me for Well, I don't mean to laugh But if you know all this You must be halfway there Well, like that dress tonight, you won't know as it falls from you Turn around and it's winter, darling Look in the mirror and it won't be you So you're an old, old dog You've been around the block So many times And it's the same old turns Same old feelings straight down the line Yeah, I can love you Grab that leash and drag you to a place you'd never know I know where my bones are buried May take me a while, but I'd find my way home |

Oh, the dancing Take me in your arms You knew how I feel Running home I couldn't wait to be inside you then You were all around me then So, is that what brought you home tonight Do you know what brought you home tonight? Was it the dancing? Before I knew, I was up to my neck The last toe leaving ground First time we danced |

She knows what happens when I'm without her
How this ring itches on my finger Does she let me go to help me remember? Remember how I came in I was desperate then Remember what I am without her And that's a desperate man Before I go, when I'm without her How fast and how long that slide I'll always take that ride It itches on my finger Helps me remember Remember how I came in I was desperate then Remember what I am without her And that's a desperate man, yeah She knows what happens when I'm without her She sees the problem She understands the irony When I'm slumped there in that seat And slobbering of how much I love her Hey, bartender Let me tell you about when I walked in I was desperate then If I could find my way back to loving her I'm a desperate man, yeah I'm a desperate man, yeah |

Don't bring that stuff to bed
I've gotta fall with a clear head Don't tell me of those mirrors I'll show you what you want to see Pay no mind to those voices I'll show you what you want to hear Of course, it doesn't matter what you see You're beautiful to me It doesn't matter what they say I want you anyway So we live in the city Come over here No, leave on the light Beautiful things get run down There's no more to say To let you know it's alright There's a fine door that you open There's no door There's no option You knew this from the start You made a fist around your heart I don't need to know But she must want to show me It's just for yourself I can't forgive you anything It doesn't matter what you see You're beautiful to me It doesn't matter what they say I want you anyway Don't bring that stuff to bed I'll touch you here Gotta fall with a clear head Does it make you cry?

See her there
She hangs from me See her face She can't let go I can't look in here eyes She's holding on She needed this to hurt me so So it shot out of me As if all of the love just got ripped out of me She said I'm such a sap, I'm such a jerk Can't I ever forget the way that we are Spend all your time with your eyes on the ground Looking for the stars So it shot out of me As if all of the love just got ripped out of me And just for that moment I saw in her eyes How it all could be It shot out of me Say this is it This is all there is You have to remember this This is all there is ( ) Spend all your time with your eyes on the ground Looking for the stars So it shot out of me As though all of the love has been ripped out of me |

Two hours twenty minutes
To one, five past Now it's laying somewhere out there in the ground And I've lost you I was cheated It was something belonged only to me And now it's gone through my own stupidity And I lost you I was cheated Two whole years spent earning your love Now it's hanging around in the clouds Well I've lost you I was cheated I'm cheated by my own vanity Whispering rumours, bullying me Well I spent it It wasn't worth it & 58; And for those who are not so beautiful as her Not giving excuses, but oh... When it's originally tossed away It can easily be reclaimed by her By her All those years spent building myself up Trying to stop my staring And start taking two steps instead of one But they're so gone now Feeling relatively good I pretend to understand When those eyes hung on mine But you know, you get it wrong in the end I pretend to know what it's about You choose explanations to soothe myself But you know, you got it wrong and it's the end & 58; Now I only laugh with people Who have no reason to care Feeling good about things that don't mean nothing I get caught by what you mean Hey I could love you when you're ever here But you know, you got it wrong and it's the end You know what I say, see what I do There's a part of me still hiding from you I miss you, there I said it again You know what I say, see what I do There's a part of me still hiding from you I miss you, there I said it again |

Let's not get lost in this I know it is, I know we could I guess we surely would Let's pretend it's not It doesn't mean a thing Let's not blow it out of all sense As though it meant so much It's always thought about for weeks Not every time your lips meet mine, I think of her But when her hands reach out, I think of you |
