One day to wonder what's bothering me -
(You said it) I'm just the half of this - that just won't see - (Believe it) If I am wishing I am hoping as well (Sometimes I) I tell you clearly But it's hard to tell Someone will watch me with an eager eye - (But I'm not) I'm not even here, to even try If the rain stops calling, calling my name Well, I'm still in the thick of it and bearing the shame (Deliver me) Oh, no - you don't deliver in me (Deliver me) Oh, no - you don't deliver in me (Deliver me) Oh, no - you don't deliver in me, but one day You'll wake up and then you'll see Some times are hard, some times they drag Well, I can see your face - you've seen the half of this Maybe, I'm naming all the changes too much (But see you), you never leave it if you have to touch (And I will) always be waiting with a happy smile But the smile is just a laughing Killer - laugh-a-while Don't know what I'm doing here Don't know if I'm sane But I swear if I'm feeling this - I'm feeling the pain (Deliver me) Oh, no - you don't deliver in me (Deliver me)Oh, no - you don't deliver in me (Deliver me)Oh, no - you don't deliver in me, but one day You'll wake up and then you'll see And I can't be your standards Wish you away No, I can't be all this much See you still have too much to say Some skies are darkening and call out loud Well, I'm the good side of you and I'm still proud To be waiting for lightness when you stray Well I'm sure that I hear him He's slipping away (Deliver me) Oh, no - you don't deliver in me (Deliver me) Oh, no - you don't deliver in me (Deliver me) Oh, no - you don't deliver in me, but one day You'll wake up and then you'll see |

It's taken with looks It wont tell a story But I'm glad I forgot everything that you say I choose the colours And reword the lines Now somebody's second heart Ain't the first of mine Consider the rain now Out in the cold Maybe I love you But our dreams grow old Outbid my fortune Out to just win Tell me that summer Is coming on in I got my wallet Been shot from the start Feel shot when I'm feeling drained But we all know how to smile when we're falling apart You choose the colours now Let's play with the rest I never believe at all But some of us sometimes, Are just thrilled, by meeting the blessed Consider the rain now Out in the cold Maybe I love you But our dreams grow old Outbid my fortune Out to just win Tell me that summer Is coming on in I have the oath ring, somebody said Makes like a twinge running straight through my head Maybe this fortune is not what it seems Some of us pin, some of us pin time on our dreams And saved from the talk shifts Went straight to your goal Straight backed and straight laced Well, you never really Do you ever really know? I check on the same day I checked out the view I checked all the soft land Well, it comes so easy from you Consider the rain now Out in the cold Maybe I love you But our dreams grow old Outbid my fortune Out to just win Tell me that summer Is coming on in |

All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here All good people read good books Now your conscience is clear I hear you talk girl Now your conscience is clear In the morning when I wipe my brow Wipe the miles away I like to think I can be so willed And never do what you say I'll never hear you And never do what you say Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety We just poked a little empty pie For the fun people had at night Late at night don't need hostility The timid smile and pause to free I don't care about their different thoughts Different thoughts are good for me Up in arms and chaste and whole All God's children took their toll Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety Cup of tea, take time to think, yeah Time to risk a life, a life, a life Sweet and handsome Soft and porky You pig out 'til you've seen the light Pig out 'til you've seen the light Half the people read the papers Read them good and well Pretty people, nervous people People have got to sell News you have to sell Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety |

Sorry if I'm foolish making myself secrets seems to come between us And we always leave them there, my child always leave them there... Who will love you? Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody? Now you're falling Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody? Who will hold you? Do we learn to cry? do we have to hate? does it mean we've loved somebody? Waiting in the cold like this always feeling nervous hiding in the shadows I'm sure I can't get caught you know I can't keep together any of my thoughts how they feel but I just came round to talk, you know Always here to talk... Who will need me? Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody? Now I'm losing Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody? Who will hold me? Do we learn to cry? do we have to hate? does it mean we've loved somebody? Now I'm fighting amore si Does it mean I'm real? does it make me sane? Who will need me? Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody? Now I'm losing Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody? Who will hold me?

And as she glances through the magazine you feel somehow, she's seen you, too All my life I thought you said All my life I heard you say It'll be all right (All my life) If you stay for all my life, for all my life As she turns her face I feel unsure, is it foolish to want much more? And as I place the moments in the frame it's to these, I return again All my life I thought you said All my life I heard you say It'll be all right (All my life) If you stay for all my life, for all my life Tell me, tell me We could be together We could be forever in my company |

i'm certain left the station just when it was due i must have read the morningpaper, going into town and having gotten through the editorial no doubt i must have frowned i must have made my desk around a quarter after nine with letters to be read and heaps of paper waiting to be signed i must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so the usual place, the usual bunch and still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained the day before you came i must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two and at the time I never even noticed I was blue i must have kept on dragging through the business of the day and without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away at five I must have left there's no exception to the rule a matter of routine I've done it ever since i finished school the train back home again undoubtedly i must have read the evening paper then oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame the day before you came i must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so and stopped along the way to buy some chinese food to go i'm sure I had my dinner watching something on tv there's not, i think, a single episode of dallas that I didn't see i must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten i need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then i must have read a while the latest one by marilyn french or something in that style it's funny but I had no sense of living without aim the day before you came and turning out the light i must have yawned and cuddled up to yet another night and rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain the day before you came |

When you are not all together And you feel your face is a fiery place For many tears Who looks upon a picture and really feels a thrill Oh, not me Who looks into their past and feels they could leave And you'd think by looking at his soul That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world Who'd cheat on the world Oh, my When you are not really moving And you feel your feet have been put to sleep For many years Who looks into a city And really feels at home Oh, not me Who looks into the dark And yearns to be free And you'd think by looking at his soul That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world Who'd cheat on the world Boy, A lot of things are very simple A lot of things are logical When held into your hands Boy, A lot of things are very simple A lot of things are very simple And they fall apart When they fall apart Oh, my When you are not really living And you feel your heart Is the biggest part of all your fears Who looks upon a lover and really feels desire Oh, not me Who looks into themselves and likes what they see And you'd think by looking at his soul That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world Who'd cheat on the world Who'd cheat on the world Who'd cheat on the world Who'd cheat on the world Who'd cheat on the world |

The first time you stole flowers from the grave
Then, the second time, you shaved your head, you had been saved By the very friendly, Jesus man And all he said, ";Well, I'm your brother, man"; In the winter time you - you wore patch-work hard-me-downs In the summer time - you were all bronzed, while I was brown And they didn't ask you where you got the candy No, they didn't ask you where you got the tan In the morning time - we played travels in the sea In the evening time - we had reduced the sea to me But your mother saved us - from your daddy's hand Yeah - your mother saved us - from your daddy's hand From your daddy From your daddy With my adult mind - You know my body feels so strange If they'd only sign away my life to me I could be much saner If they'd only learn to let me Freedom seek The world would be less mean But they never know - how to let you go But they never know - how to leace me Yodel - ee Yod - el - ee |

I saw you from the cathedral
You were watching me Yes I saw from the cathedral What I should be So take my time And take my lies 'Cos all the others, they want to take my life And I watch you with an intent, basic It's the same for you You hold your hand And it's all fine - laced and What would you make me do? So take my time And take my lies 'Cos all the others, they want to take my life Serious for the winter time To wrench my soul whole cotton, whole cotton ears But I know there must be I know there must be, yes, I know there must be a place to go And you saw me from the cathedral Well I'm an ancient heart Yes, you saw me from the cathedral Well here we are just falling apart You catch me I'm tired I want all that you are And I saw you from the cathedral You were leaving me Yes I saw from the cathedral You could not see to see So take my time And take my lies 'Cos all the others, they want to take my life |

I got a scent on you. I got something here to show
(It's) somebody's slice of life I had it tailor made, I had it soaken, shaken and shown around the world And for all these things you tell me, well I can't quite believe You are still there and trying to be somebody Always on the upkeep, always trying to reach the rest of us We don't have anything to say, nothing to give Well, it blows away I have another chance, I may have two lives But both my lives will be brief lives And then, you all will wonder why I was nearly 16 years old You were only 17, life isn't so complicated But then life isn't 'sposed to be For all these years For all these years Could somebody tell them To hurry on, hurry on down Wouls somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on down Every censor, everybody loses their way I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share with you Every lover Well they all tell lies Yes, I have his wife in the background But I have more than this, I have more than this And if Mr Chaste, he has a past Give it to me I was nearly 16 years old You were only 17, life isn't so complicated But then life isn't 'sposed to be For all these years For all these years |

There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside
There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside And though the rain may fall - your father's calling you You still feel safe inside And though your ma's too proud - your brother's ignoring you You still feel safe inside Oh, was this solo? Was this yesterday? Was this true for you? 'Cos while all the rest have taken time This didn't do a lot for you And the corners laced with memories Tell you how it used to be Your mother smiles, the children play, and all the bad things happen miles away And strong feelings never bother you You hold your head up while the rest of us try to Oh, call the stations Call the people We all want to know 'Cos while all the rest have taken time You don't wanna know Well, there's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside And though the rain may fall - your father's calling you You still feel safe inside And though your ma's too proud - your brother's ignoring you You still feel safe inside Oh, was this solo? Was this yesterday? Was this true for you? 'Cos of all the choices you have made This didn't do a lot for you |

Some say the world goes crazy
It's summertime I say I'm feeling lazy Hammocks in mind And I can't change a thing So I won't stay around If you can still feel so hot Why don't you feel for me? If you can feel so much Why don't you let it out And let me be alone again I keep watch. That's alright 'Cos it comes in this real night He likes the sun See the cornered clown He likes the sun Let us waste this town And when it rains You feel the click in his heart And that's when the pain in mine will start And that's when the pain in mine will start I'm used to growing older and feeling down inside But yes, I know, well someone told You should have seen him cry Well that's not my life I'm tired of chip inside and playing bronze for cool Y'know that sometimes light And sometimes you can just be that fool Who can really say? If I'm cross - it's a joke if I'm lost - let it go up in smoke He likes the sun See the cornered clown He likes the sun Let us waste this town And when it rains You feel the click in his heart And that's when the pain in mine will start And that's when the pain in mine will start Jump right out of your grass colours And make like you were easy prey and cheer us solemn of a possible Is it possible? I could really play could really play All these things I say Though not torn inside, though not torn You just lie, lie low - lie low for me I'm not in deeper waters - where everyone will claim We used to know the daughter - throw it away it's such a shame If you're feeling blue And like icy looks and great command He likes the way I'm true But I know inside This is a real life sham - but that's okay And this song can't be sued I assume - you get up and renew yourself He likes the sun See the cornered clown He likes the sun Let us waste this town And when it rains You feel the click in his heart And that's when the pain in mine will start And that's when the pain in mine will start |

Johnny was a peculiar guy
Brough up on love and the reasons why but the reasons why ought not to be said and so I'm left hands held to my head I love you I love you I love you It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing It's a beautiful, beautiful thing Chances, changes are all that you have As you take the hard stuff and lie on your back The smoothness, strangeness Fits like a glove But the comfort of tease Still rises above I love you I love you I love you But is it possible, possible, possible babe? Is it possible for you and me? Gold and waves and Betty Blue Are the images that lead to the clues of why I can't love you I can't love you I can't love you It isn't possible |

Today is my birthday
I stay outside the hall Inside sit the butterflies For the butterfly ball All the boys are graded now They come in their white socks, flat tops And somehow they find a placr All the boys are winning now They play all the tricks with smiles And a sorry past For poor caw Their own room And winter tales Never touched these girls before They hear the car stereo And know what life is for All the boys are weary now listening to the family sing song Family say so Must carve, must carve poor cow Slice her, slice her up, poor cow Slice her, slice her up, poor cow Slice her, slice her up, poor cow Today is my birthday I stay outside the hall Inside sit the butterflies For the butterfly ball |

When your life has all been token
And your stance is akin to broken hearts You've grown weary - I'm not weary I can take your part It's eye-open time, sailor When they want you to pretend You were inside that playground You may be old - but not so old That I can't see See your old freinds and it's as fresh as dew But see what's new and it's all the same to you Now I'm not choosy and I'm just half grown I took the old man - I gave the old man I took the old man back home Safe with us to serenade To hang around your black scarf and black ways I have "no idea" he said, "no idea of what I'll do" And talking less - it chases home It chases dreams - but I have really no reason, no goal and so If you "wanna" play real basic If you "wanna" help us make it Don't forget you're alone Unless it's all alone Don't forget you're alone Unless it's all alone You get preyed upon Ohh oh I need to complicate you To make you hate the things you might have done And come out into the morning It's the sun you want Not the foreign time |

All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here All good people read good books Now your conscience is clear I hear you talk girl Now your conscience is clear In the morning when I wipe my brow Wipe the miles away I like to think I can be so willed And never do what you say I'll never hear you And never do what you say Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety We've just poked a little empty pie For the fun that people had at night Late at night don't need hostility The timid smile and pause to free I don't care about their different thoughts Different thoughts are good for me Up in arms and chaste and whole All God's children took their toll Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety Cup of tea, takes time to think, yeah Time to risk a life, a life, a life Sweet and handsome Soft and porky You pig out 'til you've seen the light Pig out 'til you've seen the light Half the people read the papers Read them good and well Pretty people, nervous people People have got to sell News you have to sell Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety |

If I was a Londoner, rich with complaint
Would you take me back to your house Which is sainted with lust and the listless shade If I could have held you once more with that light It's nothing to you, but it keeps me alive Like a Valentine's Day, it's a Valentine's heart, anyway The king and the ages, they fall by the plan It's always the tired and the ordinary man (It's the) challenge it's funny and such I want to see you again I want to see you again It's so simple and plain But I'll come back and see you again The lie is the angel, it doesn't exist I tell you it's funny but you like just to twist all my words It's a shame you're so young My word, it's a shame I'm so dumb I figure a house with the smoke and the fence The people round here would be pleased Take my word on this I would believe just in you, just believe in you And five days to catch me around with my ring As I visit the friendships which meant everything to the girl With the clown's face, to the girl with the clowns face, round here |

Everyone has said that I might go
'Cos my red suitcase and my ray-bans Weren't quite so I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls I'll never come back again 'Cos you know I laugh when winter shows her hand Well, that picture framed the saddest thing you'll see But it bought me time and a place that love could be And since I'm going now please rearrange 'Cos I'd like to think that things have changed I don't believe you'll be open anymore Tell me if, you want to see A world outside your window A world outside your window isn't free And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me Well, everyone was hoping you would stay a while Tell us 'bout that great land in the south I see that man - now ain't he under offer? I tell you child you go wash out your mouth Tell me if, you want to see A world outside your window A world outside your window isn't free And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me What can you say I'm hiding in the belfry What can you say - I want to catch time How can you say you know anything about me Well I knew about you - but I won't care about you Everyone has come to see. Well somethings have to do Flowers out for this photographic haunt, but they all pass me by But the age is not a funny game, it don't give such a buzz And when I winced with ignorance I had to kiss this dust |
