The eastern sky grows cold Winter in water colours Shades of grey Something Something holds me Holds me hypnotized I stare at the window, stare at the window Waiting for the day to go Winter in water colours Shades of grey |

If I thought that it would change your mind But I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would break down at your feet And beg forgiveness, plead with you But I know that it's too late And now there's nothing I can do So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would tell you that I loved you If I thought that you would stay But I know that it's no use That you've already gone away Misjudged your limits Pushed you too far Took you for granted I thought that you needed me more, more, more Now I would do most anything To get you back by my side But I just keep on laughing Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry Boys don't cry |

The Eastern hollows Catch the dying sun The night-time follows Silent and black Mirror pool Mirrors the lonely place Where I meet you See your head In the fading light And through the dark Your eyes shine bright And burn like fire Burn like fire in Cairo Burn like fire Burn like fire in Cairo Shifting crimson veil Silken hips Slide under my hand Swollen lips Whisper my name And I yearn You take me in your arms And start to burn F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O... Then the heat disappears And the mirage fades away F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O...

Spit out the shout of a warning
Death is an honour with doubts So you live in the end And you mistrust the start Because you don't think it counts But you'll pay for yourself You'll pay for yourself You're just a heroin face You see a heroin face in the mirror And someone is clutching your breath And you believe in the needle of night You're only doing your best But you'll pay for yourself You'll pay for yourself You believe in the needle of night And someone is clutching your breath So you mistrust the start By always running away But you'll never come back You're just a heroin face Heroin face |

Walk across the garden
In the footsteps of my shadow See the lights out No one's home In amongst the statues Stare at nothing in The garden moves Can you help me? Close my eyes And hold so tightly Scared of what the morning brings Waiting for tomorrow Never comes Deep inside The empty feeling All the night time leaves me Three imaginary boys Slipping through the door Hear my heart beats in the hallway Echoes Round and round Inside my head Drifting up the stairs I see the steps behind me Disappearing Can you help me? Close my eyes And hold so tightly Scared of what the morning brings Waiting for tomorrow Never comes Deep inside The empty feeling All the night time leaves me Three imaginary boys sing in my Sleep sweet child The moon will change your mind ... See the cracked reflection Standing still Before the bedroom mirror Over my shoulder But no one's there Whispers in the silence Pressing close behind me Pressing close behind Can you help me? Can you help me? |

Always ends sometime Now I'm alone, alone and cold Under painted skies Remembering the love that we came alive And I can only scream As a lonely cry Forever The summer goes by upon the wind Goes by as though it has never been I lift my hand to wipe the tears The tears I just can't go on Now my love has gone away Now my imaginary world is fading fast Dreams I dreamed could never last I lived my innocence in the past And my broken heart The summer goes by upon the wind Goes by as though it has never been I lift my hand to wipe the tears The tears I just can't go on Now my love has gone away The summer goes by upon the wind Goes by as though it had never been I lift my hand to wipe the tears The tears I just can't go on Now my love has gone I just can't go on Now my love has gone away |

All the faces
All the voices blur Change to one face Change to one voice Prepare yourself for bed The light seems bright And glares on white walls All the sounds of Charlotte sometimes Into the night with Charlotte sometimes Night after night she lay alone in bed Her eyes so open to the dark The streets all looked so strange They seemed so far away But Charlotte did not cry The people seemed so close Playing expressionless games The people seemed So close So many Other names... Sometimes I'm dreaming Where all the other people dance Sometimes I'm dreaming Charlotte sometimes Sometimes I'm dreaming Expressionless the trance Sometimes I'm dreaming So many different names Sometimes I'm dreaming The sounds all stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming She hopes to open shadowed eyes On a different world Come to me Scared princess Charlotte sometimes On that bleak track (See the sun is gone again) The tears were pouring down her face She was crying and crying for a girl Who died so many years before... Sometimes I dream Where all the other people dance Sometimes I dream Charlotte sometimes Sometimes I dream The sounds all stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming There are so many different names Sometimes I dream Sometimes I dream... Charlotte sometimes crying for herself Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself But it's always with love With so much love it looks like Everything else Of Charlotte sometimes So far away Glass sealed and pretty Charlotte sometimes |

Stop my flight to fight
And die And take a stand to change my life So savage with red desperation I clench my hands You draw your claws A hidden rage consumes my heart Fuelled by years of wasted time I close my eyes And tense myself And screaming Throw myself in fury over the edge And into your blood Tear at flesh And rip at skin And smash at doubt I have to break you Fury drives my vicious blows I see you fall but still I strike you Again and again Your body falls The movement is sharp and clear and pure And gone I stop and kneel beside you Drained of everything but pain Screaming throw myself in fury Over the edge and into your blood Kiss you once and see you writhe Hold you close and hear you cry Kiss your eyes and finish your life Kiss your eyes Finish your life Again and again Your body falls The movement is sharp and clear and pure And gone I stop and kneel beside you Knowing I'll murder you again tonight Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Tonight |

Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hold I can't just carry on this way And every time I turn away Lose another blind game The idea of perfection holds me Suddenly I see you change Everything at once the same But the mountain never moves Rape me like a child Christened in blood Painted like an unknown saint There's nothing left but hope Your voice is dead And old And always empty Trust in me through closing years Perfect moments wait If only we could stay Please say the right words Or cry like the stone white clown And stand lost forever in a happy crowd No one lifts their hands No one lifts their eyes Justified with empty words The party just gets better and better I went away alone With nothing left But faith |

Pulling this watch as faces go
Pulling in a word and done it slow this other time I see your face is silent Oh, we go away and play What have you done Takes a feeling inside us all Continue out with just one push in my mouth But you're so close now And you're so close now All I have to do is three short blows All that still is best inside The full when the wall And you don't even know All I Have to Do is Kill Her All I Have to Do is Kill Her All I Have to Do is Kill Her And the other faces here with me The others dressed in summers thing If only one way is to be wonderful If only one way is to the other song And every time it's you, it's like the blood on the stairs is sent away And every time we see it's all said before you If only one way is to kill you You used to say this fear of drowning Fear no death by water Father walks in at the foot of the bed Six of you want to see you safe Just one time you'll meet this man All you've got to do is kill her And all you've got to do is kill her Trickle the sands against and pull the animals Just out of the womb Seeing the cow dead before he was born It's the man he, he loved The solid pieces fell on the ground He couldn't kill another life He couldn't kill another life He couldn't kill another life It's all been painted with love It could have been some friends Pulling strings to meet you All I want to do is reach it She says 'Let go my shoulder!' See the sky! And the sky goes black And the sky goes black I just want to feel her I just want to feel her I just want you to feel it I just want you to feel it Everytime I looked up the stairs I used to see her die She would move so slow Anyone could've been but she was a cat Anyone could've been she was a cat Pulling away as I used to fight That's just playing so low That ugly or pretty The face stays the same Her face stays the same Her face stays the same The ugly or pretty Her face stays the same, stays the same, stays the same And looking on the final walls And looking on the final walls Did you now find this malice out The angels fall Let's make some noise Let's make some noise Let's make some noise Make some noise Let's make some noise Let's make some noise Make some noise... Help me be your mother for just one day Let's fall in churches far outside They used to love They used to love They used to They used to love... |

Whisper your name in an empty room
You brush past my skin As soft as fur Taking hold I taste your scent Distant noises Other voices Pounding in my broken head Commit the sin Commit yourself And all the other voices said Change your mind You're always wrong Always wrong Come around at christmas I really have to see you Smile at me slyly Another festive compromise But I live with desertion And eight million people Distant noises Of other voices Pulsing in my swinging arms Caress the sound So many dead And all the other voices sing Change your mind You're always wrong |

The innocence of sleeping children
Dressed in white and slowly dreaming Stops all time I slow my steps and start to blur So many years have filled my heart I never thought I'd say those words The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show The very first time I saw your face I thought of a song And quickly changed the tune The very first time I touched your skin I thought of a story And rushed to reach the end too soon Oh, remember Oh, please don't change So the fall came Thirteen years A shiny ring and how I could forget your name The air no longer in my throat Another perfect lie is choked But it always feels the same So they close together Dressed in red and yellow Innocent forever Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms still dream The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show |

She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares Alone Across the water The loneliness grows and slowly Fills her frozen body Sliding downwards One by one her senses die The memories fade And leave her eyes Still seeing worlds that never were And one by one the bright birds leave her ... Starting at the violent sound She tries to turn But final Noiseless Slips and strikes her soft dark head The water bows Receives her And drowns her at its ease Drowns her at its ease I would have left the world all bleeding Could I only help you love The fleeting shapes So many years ago So young and beautiful and brave Everything was true It couldn't be a story I wish it was all true I wish it couldn't be a story The words all left me Lifeless Hoping Breathing like the drowning man Oh Fushia You leave me Breathing like the drowning man Breathing like the drowning man |

Two pale figures
Ache in silence Timeless In the quiet ground Side by side In age and sadness I watched And acted wordlessly As piece by piece You performed your story Moving through an unknown past Dancing at the funeral party Memories of childrens dreams Lie lifeless Fading Lifeless Hand in hand with fear and shadows Crying at the funeral party I heard a song And turned away As piece by piece You performed your story Noiselessly across the floor Dancing at the funeral party |

I kneel and wait in silence
As one by one the people slip away Into the night The quiet and empty bodies Kiss the ground before they pray Kiss the ground and slip away I sit and listen dreamlessly A promise of salvation makes me stay Then look at your face And feel my heart pushed in As all around the children play The games they tired of yesterday They play I stand and hear my voice cry out A wordless scream at ancient power It breaks against stone I softly leave you crying I cannot hold what you devour The sacrifice of penance In the holy hour |

Movement
No movement Just a falling bird Cold as it hits the bleeding ground He lived and died Catch sight Cover me with earth Draped in black Static White sound A day without substance A changeof thought An atmosphere that rots with time Colours that flicker in water A short term effect Scream As she tries to push him over Helpless and sick With teeth of madness Jump jump dance and sing Sideways across the desert A charcoal face Bites my hand Time is sweet Derange and disengage everything A day without substance A change of thought The atmosphere rots with time Colours that flicker in water A short term effect A short term effect A short term effect An echo And a stranger's hand A short term effect An echo And a stranger's hand A short term effect |

Give me your eyes that I might see
The blind man kissing my hands The sun is humming, my head turns to dust As he plays on his knees And the sand and the sea grows I close my eyes Move slowly through drowning waves Going away on a strange day And I laugh as I drift in the wind Blind dancing on a beach of stone Cherish the faces as they wait for the end A sudden hush across the water And we're here again The sand and the sea grows I close my eyes Move slowly through drowning waves Going away on a strange day My head falls back and the walls crash down And the sky and the impossible explode Held for one moment I remember a song An impression of sound And then everything is gone forever A strange day |

Your back was turned Curled like an embryo Take another face You will be kissed again I was cold as I mouthed the words And crawled across the mirror I wait Await the next breath Your name Like ice into my heart A shallow grave A monument to the ruined age Ice in my eyes And eyes like ice don't move Screaming at the moon Another past time Your name Like ice into my heart Everything as cold as life Can no one save you? Everything As cold as silence And you never say a word Your name Like ice into my heart Your name Like ice into my heart |

It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car In a high building there is so much to do Going home time A story on the radio Something small falls out of your mouth and we laugh A prayer for something better A prayer for something better Please love me Meet my mother But the fear takes hold Creeping up the stairs in the dark Waiting for the death blow Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot Fighting for freedom on the television Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs Have we got everything She struggles to get away The pain and the creeping feeling A little black haired girl Waiting for Saturday The death of her father pushing her Pushing her white face into the mirror Aching inside me And turn me round Just like the old days Caressing an old man and painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat in a clean room The soldiers close in under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance under a black flag A hundred years of blood Crimson the ribbon tightens round my throat I open my mouth and my head bursts open A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water Thrashing in the water Over and over we die one after the other Over and over we die one after the other One after the other It feels like a hundred years A hundred years |

A life spills into the flowers We all look so perfect As we all fall down In an electric glare The old man cracks with age She found his last picture In the ashes of the fire An image of the queen Echoes round the sweating bed Sour yellow sounds inside my head In books And films And in life And in heaven The sound of slaughter As your body turns But it's too late But it's too late One more day like today and I'll kill you A desire for flesh And real blood I'll watch you drown in the shower Pushing my life through your open eyes I must fight this sickness Find a cure I must fight this sickness |

I chose an eternity of this
Like falling angels The world disappeared Laughing into the fire Is it always like this Flesh and blood and the first kiss The first colours The first kiss We writhed under a red light Voodoo smile Siamese twins A girl at the window looks at me for an hour Then everything falls apart Broken inside me it falls apart The walls and the ceiling move in time Push a blade into my hands Slowly up the stairs And into the room Is it always like this Dancing in my pocket Worms eat my skin She glows and grows With arms outstretched Her legs around me In the morning I cried Leave me to die You won't remember my voice I walked away and grew old You never talk We never smile I scream You're nothing I don't need you any more You're nothing It fades and spins Sing out loud We all die Laughing into the fire Is it always like this |

Dancing in my pocket Worms eat my skin She glows and grows With arms outstretched Her legs around me In the morning I cried Leave me to die you won't remember my voice I walked away and grew old You never talk We never smile I scream You're nothing I don't need you any more You're nothing It fades and spins Fades and spins Sing out loud We all die Laughing into the fire Is it always like this?
