Sweet Jesus I'm on fire She has the sweetest, darkest eyes And when it comes into her eyes I know iron and steel couldn't hold me But god I'm easy bruised But so often a moth to her flame And the things that she's asked me to do Would see a senior saint forgetting his name I have an audience with the pope And I'm saving the world at 8 But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me Everybody's gonna have to wait Where could she be? Was that a minute or an hour? Where could she be? She turns the hours into days. Kill me phone, cover the cage And wait for the doorbell to ring Where could she be? No she won't come running Where could she be? The world is turning at her pace. Kill me phone, cover the cage And wait for the doorbell to ring I have an audience with the pope And I'm saving the world at 8 But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me Everybody's gonna have to wait |

A sky as black as regret
Is rolling aside for the blue Impossible face to forget These feelings belong in a zoo She brings the morning She, she brings the morning sun So lost in the sound of her voice I don't even hear the words When she says, come on get out the past will find us out Come on get out please and don't breathe a word She brings the morning She, she brings the morning sun But all this an imagined affair While sitting in a bar spilling in a bar I drink until the doorman is a Christmas tree And my speech is just a gas leak She brings the morning She, she brings the morning sun |

What's got into me
Can't believe yourself Must be someone else Must be someone else Must be... * Any day now How's about Getting out of this place Anyway now, got a lotta spare time Some of my youth And all of my senses on overdrive * Repeat (x3) What's got into me Can't believe yourself [ can't believe ] * Repeat Don't play coltrane, you will sleep at the wheel Eyes on horizon, don't sleep at the wheel |

Were you crushed?
Did I rush you? All my time is yours My twisted heart is yours The faithless shit is yours The shameless fits of love That only smother you for moments 'Til I fold them up and leave All yours Oh you had to ask, didn't you? Oh you had to ask, didn't you? Oh you had to know Oh you had to ask, didn't you? Oh you had to ask, didn't you? Oh you had to know Show your scars Not to rush you The hieroglyphic hints In all the toilet scrawl Guilty little pins In all the things I never talk about Are spilling with the gin Taste how tough you are All yours Oh you had to ask, didn't you? Oh you had to ask, didn't you? Oh you had to know Oh you had to ask, didn't you? Oh you had to ask, didn't you? Oh you had to know Not to rush you |

You're a girl in this vicinity
I'm a dog without a collar on This cattle-market cabaret Is the Sabbath every Saturday I'm full of wit and chivalry Until you've given in to me I'm a dog without a collar on You're a girl in this vicinity Bitten by the tail-fly Too many times to change It's a silent taxi ride away But it's everything to get you there You'll know when you are bitten-shy But still you will return my stare From a crush of blushing brides-to-be You barely have a blossom on Your eyes betray your diaries You're a girl in this vicinity Bitten by the tail-fly Too many times to change I'll take you home Get you on your own |

Kissed the stone and learnt the lines Jumped the cue all the time forgetting you Best dishevelled lover 3yrs running Coming second to A picket fence white 9-5 whos Just alive Beyond repair, there is nothing to say Save some fading regrets Yet I can't be without this I want you to be around. Spit-shone lies, juggled debts Planted flags and made regrets. Muddled through all the time Forgetting you Cut your teeth and breezed on to another brothers fickle ways So why amazed when it don't Come/turn out your way |

Dear friends
You are angels and drunks You are magi Old friends You stuck a pin in a map I was in And this is a note for a road sign Cuttin' the breeze of this Tennessee sundown Came the sounds of the voices I know I've been pondering trees On the steeliest come down And now a moment I'm home I've got bluster enough For the sails of a clipper And the truth never frays a good yarn But it struck me to say while so far away You are with me today You are here are in my head, in my heart Dear friends You are angels and drunks You are magi Old friends You stuck a pin in a map I was in And you are the stars I navigate home by |

They’re pacing Piccadilly in packs again
And moaning for the mercy of a never come rain The suns had enough and the simmering sky Has the heave and the hue of a woman on fire Shop shutters rattle down and I’m cutting the crowd All scented and descending from the satellite towns The neon is graffiti singing make a new start So I look for a plot where I can bury my broken heart No I know I wont forget you but I’ll forget myself if the city will forgive me The man on the door has a head like Mars Like a baby born to the doors of the bars And surrounded by steam with his folded arms He’s got that urban genie thing going on He’s so mercifully free of the pressures of grace Saint Peter in satin he’s like Buddha with mace He’s so mercifully free of the pressures of grace Saint Peter in satin he’s like Buddha with mace No I know I won’t forget you but I’ll forget myself if the city will forgive me No I know I won’t forget you but I’ll forget myself if the city will forgive me Do you move through the room with a glass in your hand Thinking too hard about the way you stand Are you watching them pair off and drinking them long Are you falling in love every second song ..x2 No I know I won’t forget you but I’ll forget myself if the city will forgive me No I know I won’t forget you but I’ll forget myself and the city will forgive me |

With cats and broken yards Sunflowers and paint cans And stolen shopping carts And nothing to be proud of And nothing to regret All of that to make as yet All of that to make as yet I have a single heartbreak I celebrate and mourn A single shining sister And all the tricks of dawn A single yellow duvet A single switch to flick But a thousand boxes yet to tick A thousand boxes yet to tick And Jesus is a Rochdale girl And forty-five CDs Got a house that you can smoke in So all my friends found me And they found me full of myself And bloody-minded will And as yet a box to fill And as yet a box to fill |

The friends you keep! I didn’t raise a thief! But the LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD Are just little boys throwing stones And its easy to ignore ‘til they’re knocking on the door of your homes My thinking isn’t driven But the music always gives me a lift I’m so easy to please But I think we dropped the baton like the 60’s didn’t happen. Oh no. Periscope up Should be looking for a ladder I need to se THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF And remind him what was passed onto me Your mum don’t sleep! The friends you keep! I didn’t raise a thief! Passing the gun from Father to FECKLESS son We’re climbing a landslide where only the good die young |

Like the spine of something dead. Slide in shadow cobble-creep. Burn your mark and leave. The trench conventions yellow eyes Follow her the local flower The girls a priest (to me at least) Since baptism peroxide. And fear is not respect. Correct.

Shifting my weight now from foot to foot
What did she see in this man I'm not superstitious but if I can get This ball in the basket, then he'll wake up dead Your sweet reassurances don't' change the fact That he's better looking than me Yet he'd look ideal 'neath the wheels of a car Oh Mexican standoff I wish I was hard Your sweet reassurances don't' change the fact That he's better looking than me Yet he'd look ideal 'neath the wheels of a car |

I plant the kind of kiss
that wouldn't wake a baby on the self-same face that wouldn't let me sleep; and the street is singing with my feet, and the dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller. All down to you, dear. Everything has changed. My sorriness has made it to graffiti. I was looking for someone to complete me. Not anymore, dear; everything has changed. When we make the moon our mirror ball the street's an empty stage; the city sirens - violins. Everything has changed. So lift off love. (down to you, dear) Lift off love. (down to you, dear) We took the town to town last night. We kissed like we invented it! And now I know what every step is for: to lead me to your door. Know that while you sleep, everything has changed. We made the moon our mirror ball. The street's an empty stage; the city sirens - violins. Everything has changed. Everything has changed. Everything has changed. Down to you, dear/So lift off love Down to you, dear/ lift off love Down to you, dear/ lift off love Down to you, dear/ lift off love Down to you, dear/ lift off love Down to you, dear/ lift off love Down to you, dear/ lift off love Down to you, dear... |

Well, give that girl my very best
Though it never made the grade If it seems that it's just not enough to love Then love lie down And would you tell her Not to talk as if I died Though a tiny part just did And would you tell her I'm from a long line of survivors And I'll be swinging with the kids Keep your sympathy Don't need the healing to start You've gone Gone and made a beautiful hole in my heart In the corner of the room In the room we used to love Of the love we should say this There were switches never flicked Long away and far apart That's how forest fires start Start again it felt like this Fresh and simple as a kiss I bounce these feelings off the moon The echoes don't come back Keep your sympathy Don't need the healing to start You've gone Gone and made a beautiful hole in my heart Of the love we should say this There were, there were switches never flicked Keep your sympathy Don't need the healing to start You've gone Gone and made a beautiful hole in my heart Keep your sympathy Don't need the healing to start You've gone |

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub
Useless I'll be as deaf as a post If you hold me like a newborn Whisper what you feel My badly strung declaration To You You'll spend the end of your days Gently smiling like a newborn Love not by degrees Press your lips To my eyes Taste my tears On your tongue, Pull the blinds Play our song Nothings changed Nothing could be wrong. Scream in the night Kick and skrike Like a newborn Holding me shaking Awake in the dark All of these promises Kept and unbroken Tracing the scars Tracing the scars Even and cold As we both become older. Your arms bound about me The hush in your voice. The warmth of your fingers Entwined around mine In the eve of our lives Never a choice. |

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun Shaking off the heavy one Heavy like a loaded gun What made me behave that way? Using words I never say I can only think it must be love Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day Someone tell me how I feel It's silly wrong but vivid right Oh, kiss me like the final meal Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight Cause holy cow, I love your eyes And only now I see the light Yeah, lying with me half-awake Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day When my face is chamois-creased If you think I'll wink, I did Laugh politely at repeats Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin Cause holy cow, I love your eyes And only now I see you like Yeah, lying with me half-awake Stumbling over what to say Well, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day So throw those curtains wide! One day like this a year'd see me right! |

That's o.k.

My hands are black the sun is going down She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam She's listening to the dream I weaved today Crosswords through the bathroom door While someone sings the theme-tune to the news And my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air And that's what triggered this. I come back here from time to time I shelter here some days. A high-back chair. He sits and stares A thousand yards and whistles Marching-band (Boom-ching) Kneeling by and speaking up He reaches out and I take a Massive hand. Disjointed tales That flit between short trousers And a full dress uniform And he talks of people ten years Gone like I've known them all my life Like scattered black 'n' whites? |

A friend of mine grows his very own brambles
They twist all around him 'til he can't move Beautiful, quivering, chivalrous shambles What is my friend trying to prove? The bruise turns a tall, gentle boy to a terrible totem And the kids gather round trying to see what's inside I think when he's drinking he's drowning some riot What is my friend trying to hide? Cause it's breaking my heart, it's breaking my heart And it's breaking my heart to pull out the rain Brother of mine, don't run with those fuckers When will my friend start singing again? When will my friend start singing again? |

He'll have to go So, to the bunch he luncheons with It's second on my list of things to do At the top I'm stopping by Your place of work and acting like I haven't dreamed of you and I And marriage in an orange grove You are the only thing In any room you're ever in I'm stubborn, selfish and too old I sat you down and told you how The truest love that's ever found is for oneself You pulled apart my theory With a weary and disinterested sigh So yes, I guess I'm asking you To back a horse that's good for glue and nothing else But find a man that's truer than Find a man that needs you more than I Sit with me a while And let me listen to you talk about Your dreams and your obsessions I'll be quiet and confessional The violets explode inside me When I meet your eyes Then I'm spinning and I'm diving Like a cloud of starlings Darling, is this love? |

Last of the men in hats hops off the coil And a final scene unfolds inside Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow Is a part replayed from a perfect day Teaching her how to whistle like a boy Love’s first blush Is this making sense? What am I trying to say? Early evening June This room and a radio play This I need to save I choose my final thoughts today Switching off with you All the clocks give in And the traffic fades And the insects like a neon choir The instant fizz Connection made And the curtains sigh In time With you You, the only sense the world has ever made Early evening June This room and radio play This I need to save I choose my final scene today Switching off Ran to ground for a while there But I came off pretty well You, the only sense the world has ever made This I need to save A simple trinket locked away I choose my final scene today Switching off with you |

The birds are the keepers of our secret as they saw us where we lay
In the deepest grass of springtime in a reckless guilty haze And they wove a sweet indifference and it settled on our skin Til the eyes that I remembered for the last time drew me in The birds Though I wore your glacial patience to a smudge of bitter dust On the last day you embraced me with a glistening sapling trust Did they sing a million blessings as they watched us slowly part Do they keep those final kisses in their tiny racing hearts What are we gonna do with you Same tale every time What are we gonna do with you Come on inside Looking back is for the birds...... |

In the deepest grass of springtime in a reckless guilty haze And they wove a sweet indifference and it settled on our skin Til the eyes that I remembered for the last time drew me in The birds Though I wore your glacial patience to a smudge of bitter dust On the last day you embraced me with a glistening sapling trust Did they sing a million blessings as they watched us slowly part Do they keep those final kisses in their tiny racing hearts What are we gonna do with you Same tale every time What are we gonna do with you Come on inside Looking back is for the birds...... |

So I'm there
Charging around with a juggernaut brow Overdraft, speeches and deadlines to make Cramming commitments like cats in a sack Telephone burn and a purposeful gait When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch Of a song that I know And the world moves in slow-mo Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day And it's you, and it's May And we're sleeping through the day And I'm five years ago And three thousand miles away Do I have time? A man of my calibre Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager No. And I dealt with this years ago I took a hammer to every memento But image on image like beads on a rosary pulled through my head as the music takes hold and the sickener hits; I can work till I break but I love the bones of you That, I will never escape And it's you, and it's May And we're sleeping through the day And I'm five years ago And three thousand miles away And I can't move my arm Through the fear that you will wake And I'm five years ago And three thousand miles away |

All my saints have taken bribes
Singing going going gone All the angels taken dives Leaving you the only one If I lose a sequin here and there More salt than pepper in my hair Can I rely on you when all the songs are through To be for me the everthere, everthere? Slide into another book Now and then, laugh out loud Throw that very dirty look which says, 'Okay' Stop staring at me now If I lose a sequence here and there Less derring do than quiet care Can I rely on you for a good talking to To be for me the everthere, everthere? If I lose a sequin here and there And take my time on every stair Can I rely on you when this whole thing is through To be for me the everthere, everthere? |

The fix is in There's a nag gonna dance home at Epsom The fix is in Can't wait to see how it upsets 'em Too many times we've been postally pipped We've loaded the saddles, the mickeys are slipped We're swapping the turf for the sand and the surf and the sin Cause the fix, the fix is in The fix is in The odds that I got were delicious The fix is in The jockey is cocky and vicious The redoubtable beast has had pegasus pills We'll buy him the patch in the Tuscany hills And the Vino di Vici will flow like a river in spring Now the fix, the fix is in The fix is in The snaps of the steward so candid The fix is in Yes, our pigeons have finally landed The Donahue sisters will meet us in France In penguins and pearls, we'll drink and we'll dance 'Til the end of our days, cause it ain't left to chance That we win Cause the fix, the fix is in |
