Morning this morning the curtains are shut
I'll ring you in the morning but the phone's been cut Can you hear me I've been calling all day Can you hear me The radio reporter said the line's all dead He told me that I oughta write a letter instead Can you hear me I've been calling all day Can you hear me *I'd wish they'd fix the wires cause my baby don't know That I'm leaving in the morning and I'm ready to go Can you hear me Can you hear me at all Gotta get the operator make a telephone call And if I write a letter it won't get there on time I'll only reach you baby on the telephone line Can you hear me I've been calling all day Can you hear me My car's all ready and my bags are all packed I'm late already and I won't be back Can you hear me I've been calling you all day Can you hear me *Repeat Ooo can you hear me |

You say it's time to leave now babe I can't believ
That you have the strenght to go now I won't stand in your way I'd be standing there all day Ain't that something we both know now You play your games but the fact remains I'm the only one that can hold your reins *Didn't I bring your love down Didn't I bring your love down all night If you think you need a change well I'm sure we can arrange For you to get on your own for a while But I don't need to worry 'cause you'll get back in a hurry I know that you like my style You play your games but the fact remains I'm the only one that can hold your reins *Repeat |

To your credit to the thirty faces you created
To your headache to the shape of the 1980's I'm glad that we don't hear you any more I'm tired of playing in your fashion war To the lights to the trend setting in your head Sunday night tears from youth cults already dead I'm glad that we don't hear you any more I'm tired of fighting in your fashion war *Goodbye Seventies To your credit to the thirty faces you created To your subscription for the million copies of 1980 I'm glad that we don't hear you any more I'm tired of losing in your fashion war *Repeat |

I stand alone and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop And in the room locked up inside me The cutout magazines remind me I sit and wait alone in my room And in my room against the wall There is a picture very small A photograph I took some years ago It shows a picture of the room I know I sit and wait alone in my room *The walls are white and in the night The room is lit by electric light I stand alone and watch the clock I only wait for it to stop The doors are shut and all the windows lock The only sound is from the clock I sit and wait alone in my room *Repeat |

Midnight it's raining outside he must be soaking wet
Everyone is sleeping tight God knows I tried my best Darling you know it looks bad Just lost the best thing that I ever had Still I don't know why I did him wrong It's too late now he's gone to say *Baby oh no, can't leave me now Said think about it please 'Cos I love you and I need you And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong Heartache, heartache yeah When I saw his face I could see how bad I'd let him down Cheating when he was working hard, I just had to mess around I knew from the start he ain't got much money I should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey He's a good strong man and I love him so so how on earth can I let him go *Repeat And now it's midnight it's raining outside And I'm soaking wet, still looking for that man of mine And I ain't found him yet Well all of this rain can wash away my tears But nothing can replace all of those wasted years In all of this I tell you I have learnt Playing with fire gets you burnt And I'm still burning *Repeat You say you'll lose your pride Well don't you know dear, don't you know I'll lose so much more if you go now Oh no... |

Looking from a window above it's like a story of love
Can you hear me Came back only yesterday I'm moving further away Want you near me *All I needed was the love you gave All I needed for another day And all I ever knew Only you Sometimes when I think of her name when it's only a game And I need you Listen to the words that you say it's getting harder to stay When I see you *Repeat This is going to take a long time and I wonder what's mine Can't take no more Wonder if you'll understand it's just the touch of your hand Behind a closed door *Repeat |

Moving through the doorway of a nation Pick me up and shake the doubt Baby I can't do without *Move out, don't mess around Move out, you bring me down Move out, how you get about Don't make a sound just move out I remember only for an hour Move right through me can you feel the power I don't know what's going on It scares me but it won't be long *Repeat Now he's in control he is my lover Nations stand against him he's your brother Been a long time, been a long time now I'll get to you somehow *Repeat |

You can do it by day you can do it by night It can be so fine and you'll agree If you just to what comes naturally now *Baby it's the other side of love Baby it's the other side of love Baby it's the other side of love Baby, baby There's plenty of ways we can do that thing We can fool around till we get that swing Come on do what you want honey we don't mind If you just make sure that you stay in time now *Repeat Know a good dance when the mood is right You can take it slow 'cause we've got all night It can be so fine and you'll agree If you just to what comes naturally now |

Write me a letter a face in the hall
Hiding from someone afraid of the fall And she's waiting for someone to take her back to where she came from And she'll wait alone for hours she won't mind because there's someone In the story she remembers she remembers in the letter And the tears locked up inside her make her heart break open wider Shuts her eyes and takes the picture from the wall |

Woman of thirty seeing the sun
Packed up her suitcase started to run Looking for someone looking for none Pack up and drive away It was her birthday morning Realisation gradually dawning A man in a grey suit whispered 'I'm calling' Pack up and drive away Woman of thirth, husband and kids Chained like a dog she had to rid No point in coping off came the lid Pack up and drive away Three thousand miles of honesty dreaming Perfect imagery is a gleaming No more shattered clouds were deeming Pack up and drive away In her heart it wasn't easy Mumbled words and feeling dizzy Reasons fight against excuses Mothers have their ways and uses Driving slower she was losing Dream was stirring only dozing Eyelids awaken to the daytime Just an illusion broken sunshine Woman of thirty there's no choice I can't help your helpless voice |

Green in your love on bright days
You grew sunblind you thought me unkind To remind you how winter kills Lost in daydreams you drove too fast and got nowhere You rode on half fare when you got too scared How winter kills Tear at me searching for weaker seams Pain in your eyes makes me cruel Makes me spiteful tears are delightful welcome your nightfall How winter kills |

Your mother was crying
Your father passed her a handkerchief Their tear-stained faces Looked to mine for a sign of grief A thousand raincoats Always stand around too long But I stayed to talk with you After they had gone. The flowers I brought you Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain Your name on the card had run So I tried in vain to write it again They didn't understand you - No! They didn't even try I'm so glad that you left us now Before you had the chance to die. I sat there for a long time, Expecting to turn and see you there I ran my fingers through the long grass Willing it to turn into your hair - and oh I'm gonna miss you, dear But I don't have to cry I'm so glad that you left us now, Before you had the chance to die And oh, I'm going to miss you dear, But I'm not going to cry I'm so glad that your life stopped now, Before it had the chance to die |

said to much while he stayed
and left too soon. bright on an evening sea, he washed in with the tide deep in each other's dreams where all but dreams had died. wretched in your thoughts gentle hate within the love you bought. words fade like flowers shadowed there beneath your wall wind cries from every angle dead leaves left to wait for fall. and in my darkest hour when i can find no light my goals are out of sight and nothing warms the night. i close my eyes and with such sweet surprise i can be anywhere i can be anyone. and in my darkest hour when i can find no light my goals are out of sight and nothing warms the night. i close my eyes and with such sweet surprise i can be anywhere i can be anything i can be anyone i can be anyone |

like an old man slowly dying
and the only sound, the wind that fills the trees even colder comes the moon and though it never seems too soon a sudden stillness as the rainfall starts to freeze (chorus) i'm mr blue i'm here to stay with you and no matter what you do when you're lonely - i'll be lonely too (repeat) a young girl, she is shaded bears the scars that never faded of the baby that was born on christmas day while the heavens sing their song a child's life is never long 'cos the food supplies will only last a day (chorus repeat) patriot emotion, is the cause of the commotion after all there's really no-one here to blame soldiers taking orders, 'cos we must defend the borders of our nation (and the other side's the same) (chorus repeat) i'll come to you at night when all the world is sleeping tight and lie beside you, till the early morning dew you can't hear me, you can't see but you can feel me when you read the folded letter she left addressed to you (chorus repeat |

i know i'll forget what i came here for,
my head was so full of things to say, but as i open my lips all my words slip away and anyway, i can't believe you want to turn the page, and move your life onto another stage, you can change the chapter you can change the book, but the story remains the same if you'd take a look. (chorus) for the times we've had i don't want to be - a page in your diary babe, for the good, the bad i don't want to see - a page in your diary babe, for the happy, the sad - i don't want to be another page in your diary. perhaps if i held you i could win again, i could take your hands we'd talk and maybe then - that look in your eyes i always recognise, would tell me everything is gonna be fine, you're gonna be mine for a long time...

he turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
intent and direct when he speaks, i watch his lips and when he drives i love to watch his hand white and smooth almost feminine, almost american, i have to watch him. (chorus) in his face age descends on youth, exaggeration on the truth he caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot and everything he seems to do reflects just another shade of blue i saw him searching into you and ached a while i watch his lips caress the glass, his fingers stroke its stem and pass to lift a cigarette at last, he dries his eyes from a shadow by the stair i watch as he weeps unaware that i'm in awe of his despair, but i am there (chorus repeat |

It's over, there's nothing more to say
Silent comes the night time, end another summers day I can just remember, or is this the dream that never goes away. (Chorus) Understand me, I'm calling - Understand me, can you hear me call. Night time, surely it's a lie, No-one ever told me, I just let the chance go by Wishing there was time enough, you tell me there's no time, but I can try. (Chorus repeat) Speak now, without the summer light All the words I should have spoken, when you held me tight Still I'll keep in calling, till the morning ends another lonely night. (Chorus repeat) I'll be waiting for you hoping, that someday you'll hear me calling But there's never any answer, just the echo of the call |

High & dried, tyre rubber starts burning
Fill her up now before the table starts turning Souped up, jacked up, cracked up, stacked up Louie's got the gear And Charlie's got his back up And don't it make you feel good? Says she's a dirt box You're like a cannibal Somebody feeds her, sure ain't the State Farm Who buys the tickets and who buys the clothes Puts the liquor in her stomach and the powder up her nose Move. That's right And don't it make you feel good? Don't mind me honey I'm just looking Smelt your chicken And I watched you cooking Souped up, jacked up, cracked up, stacked up You're a bad stain And you need to be cleaned up And don't it make you feel good? And don't it make you feel good? ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By MOYET, ALISON/CLARKE, VINCENT Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC |

Go and join the army
Said the father to the son See the world around you boy And learn to use a gun Think you're something special Well, we'll make you just the same There's nothing wrong in dying After all, it's just a game - Just a game. Read the morning paper There's a picture of a cross "We were proud in them days" By the way, I think you lost Trust me when I tell you boy That God is on our side Even Jesus cheers us on Against the other side - Against the other side. He who shouts the loudest Is the one who's in control We who never listen Are the ones who pay the toll Tell us that it's time at last To make a final stand I'm glad 'cos all I wanted Was to kill another man - Just to kill another man |

Move along you're in my way.
I've made my mind up not to stay And it don't matter what you do 'Cos me, I've had enough of you. And you can talk about the good times I can just remember bad times. There ain't nothing left for saying 'Cos there's no way that I'll be staying You tell me to remember When I told you that I'd never walk away (Chorus) Hey baby, don't walk away from love Tell me baby, ain't my love enough, Listen to the things I say And tell me why do you walk away from love? Leave you standing on your own It's time I spent some time alone Need a while to think this out Not sure what it's all about. And it's no use to sit there crying 'Cos I can see you're only lying. Now I'll put the past behind me Run some place where you can't find me. You tell me to remeber When I told you that I'd never walk away. (Chorus repeat) Bags are packed, I just can't wait. Gotta get out before it gets too late, I don't need you any more And I don't need your love for sure. And you can talk about the good times I can just remember bad times. There ain't nothing left for saying 'Cos there no way that I'll be staying You tell me to remember when I told you that I'd never walk away. (Chorus repeat) Don't walk away from love |
