Ride [Shoegazing]

The King's been in his bedroom for weeks
In exile from the world, he never speaks
The Queen is in the counting house, her fingers in the till
There's something happening to the Castle on the Hill

The jester's telling jokes to everyone
Says "Now he's gone, well ain't it fun"
There's whispers in the courtroom, "Is he crazy, is he ill?"
Nobody has an answer, but they keep on asking still

And a friend of mine, one of the few
Has locked himself away like Howard Hughes
They're trying to replace him but they know they never will
It ain't the same without him, on the Castle on the Hill

There's a wind of madness in the air
Since he's gone nobody seems to care
The court is disillusioned, everything is up for sale
And the Castle on the Hill is like a boat without a sail

One hundred years from now
See the chrome, can't hear it move
I'll meet you on the way down
Wrapped around somebody's hand
We've all moved on from here
The colour's running dry
A drowsy line of wasted time
Bathes my open mind

This strange machinery
Is keeping you from seeing me
I'll meet you on the way down
Can't stay - unbearable to go

(andy bell/mark gardener)

Across 50 states of mind
I didn't feel inclined
You waited yesterday
I didn't come your way
Now time is moving on
I know it won't be long
Till I'm shuffling away
With nothing more to say

When I'm printed on your wall
My face won't change at all
The smile beneath my hair
Hangs lifeless in the air
Like a net in water
I'm running through it all
And I'm shuffling away
With nothing more to say

It's been preying on my mind
And now I'm just resigned
You smile for yesterday
I think I'm in the way
You seem concerned
And say I should slow down
But how can I see the stars
If my feet are on the ground?

We have short time to stay,
Our night is slipping far away.
Caught up within bad memories,
Our growth seems certain to decay.

Now this feeling's so alive,
But, as you or anything, we die,
We die.

Let's stay here for a while,
Eyes so round and bright we gently smile.
Live for the moment, not the past,
Why do we always fall so fast

Lying under sky,
She laughs at everything I say,
And pulls me under,
There's no time to resist.
Lying on the floor,
There's no time to resist,
Lying on the floor,
The tears are falling down and more,
Her eyes speak loud,
But actions speak the best.

Waiting, hoping for a sign,
That what's forbidden can be mine,
I just want what I can't have,
'Til my dreams burn down every time.

She's effortlessly cool,
But circumstances can be cruel,
And sometimes you must accept,
That you can't always get what you want.
We fill up our days and nights,
We fill up our empty little lives,
But we know we are doomed,
The moment we walk out the room

The bridge holds back the sky,
Can't hold back what's inside.
And the train above me,
Sounds like the music in my head.
My thoughts are undecided,
I think it so I hide it,
And the train rushes past,
Like a day gone too fast.

I wish that I was stronger,
Could keep my head for longer.
I sit and watch my fear,
But it won't disappear.
I can dream myself away,
Lose myself for days.
And the train rushes past,
Like a day gone too fast.

All I know is here and now.

And the train rushes past,
Like a day gone too fast.
And the train rushes past,
Like a life gone too fast

Blowing bubbles, lying down,
Waiting for the rain to fall.
Laughing at the people,
Wonder why they always rush, never slow down.

And we're smiling, when we're sleeping,
And we're smiling, when we're waking.

Even if the rain falls down, and all the sky turns cold,
I will feel fine.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed,
But you and I are in a different time.

Floating in and out of time,
In and out of space.
No-one can touch us,
We're in a different space

I know that you are thinking about me now,
I can feel it but I don't know how.
When I'm gone you will see so clear,
That I left some words unspoken here.

All these words that I have said,
Float around you, fill your head.
All the times we laughed and cried,
I never thought I'd leave you behind.

I don't want you to understand,
You will never hold me in your hand.
I don't want you to see my face,
When I fade away and leave this place.

All these words that I have said,
Float around you, fill your head.
All the times we laughed and cried,
I never thought I'd change your mind.

All these songs fill my head,
Dance around you when I'm dead.
All the love I ever knew,
Kaleidoscopes around to you

Leave Them All Behind
Wheels turning around
Into alien grounds
Pass through different times
Leave them all Behind

Just to see
We've got so far to go
Until we get there
Just let it flow

Colours shining clear
Fading into night
Our grasp is broken
There's nothing we can do

I Don't care about the colours
I don't care about the light
I don't care about the truth

(mark

There's a picture on the door
Madman smiling from the floor
It's a good day for a drive
If you think you will survive

Just my way of saying hi
'Cos I knew I wouldn't write
And the seat will fit one more
So there's room enough for four

Your words they flatter me
You fill my head with tea
Please let me take it one more mile
The Galaxie will burn
If I can't make it turn
Hope I'm making Judy smile

(andy

Running away
You're lost fpor words again
Now you've got all what you wanted
Are you really satisfied?

Tricky scenes
Thricky little dreams
The earth spins and my head spins me
Back round to you

(mark

I won't be a monkey in anyone's zoo
And I won't get fazed whatever you do

"Hit him again, he's crazy"

(andy

I should have known better,
Than to expect it all.
You wan't everything,
And you end up grabbing at air.

I had so much to give,
So much hope, we held each other high.
But the heroes are gone,
And all that's left is you and me.

I learned the hard way,
That life should be easy,
But I wan't you to know that it was hard to show,
The things that I know now.

And all that's left is you and me,
And here we are, nowhere

Catch me, in another dream, I'm pulled away,
Hold me, gently take me through another day.

However hard I try,
I crawl when I should fly.
I wander through my days,
Pulled a million ways.

Help me feel the forces I can't touch, I'm reaching out.
Help me learn, until I know too much, I'm still without.

These circles pulling me near,
Hold me in my fear.
And sleeping I can't hide,
I'm paralysed inside.
Paralysed

She knew she was able to fly,
Because when she came down,
She had dust on her hands from the sky,
She felt so high, the dust made her cry.

She knew she could fly like a bird,
But when she said 'please raise the roof higher' nobody heard,
They never noticed a word,
The light bulbs burn, her fingers will learn.

Why should it feel like a crime?
If I want to be with you all the time.
Why is it measured in hours?
You should make your own time, you're welcome in mine

My eyes are sore, my body weak,
My throat is dry, I cannot speak.
My words are dead,
Falling like feathers to the floor.

You gave me things I'd never seen,
You made my life a waking dream.
But we are dead,
Falling like ashes to the floor.

Definitions confine thoughts, they are a myth,
Words are clumsy, language doesn't fit.
But we know there's no limit to thought,
We know there's no limits.

Now it's your turn to see me rise,
You burned your wings, now watch me fly,
Above your head.
Looking down I see you far below,
Looking up you see my spirit glow

Floating like a smoke ring,
It cannot be regained,
Now it's touched, it's broken,
The taste just slips away.
The taste just slips away.
I just want to know.

I don't want to tell you,
What you want to know,
I don't want to tell you.

As hard as right can be,
It can feel so wrong,
Too much to leave,
Now it's all gone wrong.

But what's right or wrong?
I don't know.
The taste just slips away

Waste no more energy
No more time
Step into the time machine
Aboard this flight
Time to go
It's sad that you're not here
To open up your eyes and....
watch me dissapear

Carried away
Imaginations are running wild

Losing control
I'm landing back this year
Did I ever move?
Did I dissapear?
If I could move through time
I'd go back and put it right

(mark

She turns her face to the wall
She sees hew sorrow there
Puts out her hand to touch it
Again & again
Fingernail marks in the morning
Wallpaper silhouettes
Signs of her yesterdays
Can't ever be wiped away

She thought I would care
Thought that I'd be there
- Think again

Your face I've seen in visions
In silver rippling sky
No feelings/reactions
As I pass you by
Weeks compressed into minutes
This time is her time
Let me just once
Be crual without being kind

(andy

Any minute you will feel
The chemistry
Vibrations in the brain
Can't ever be explained

Slip away and out of sigh
Feel the magnet of a night
The circus lights you see
Is where you have to be

If I've seen it all before
Why's this bus taking me back again
If I don't need anymore
Why's this bus taking me back again

Feel the weight of letting go
Feel more lightness than you've ever known
You can't see when light's so strong
You can't see when light is gone

(mark

First you look so strong
Then you fade away
The sun will blind my eyes
I love you anyway
thirsty for your smile
I watch you for a while
You are a vapour trail
In a deep blue sky
lalala la la
lalala la la
lalala la la
lalala la
Tremble with a sigh
Glitter in your eye
You seem to come and go
I never seem to know
And all my time
Is yours as much as mine
We never have enough
Time to show our love
lalala la la
lalala la la
lalala la la
lalala la
