You are the dust and, I am the rain, Let's go out in the rust and Let's gather the change Let's take to the streets You and I we're life's refugees But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us You stain the pavements I'll take the blame Our love is our saviour Our life is our grave Let's take to the streets You and I we're life's refugees But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us cause we're all refugees And we're all drifting like leaves But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us We'll live for the sunshine And smile through the rain
And we're all refugees And we're all drifting like leaves But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us So let's take to the streets You and I compete with the freaks And like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us Well there's nothing between us Well there's nothing between us
And the morning comes with coffee we can share And the smell of cigarettes is in your hair There's the sound of shouts outside the hotel room Like the night before when cameras flattered you And if we don't have a future If our lives split like shattered bits of glass And if we don't have a future Just leave your autograph Your autograph And the night that saw the neon lit our fate And our shadows painted many different shapes But now the moon has turned complex and altered you There's just the smell of cigarettes left in the room And we made saved conversation And we kick through broken bits of glass And it's all just complication And too complex to ever last cause if we don't have a future And if this kiss dissolves into the past And if we don't have a future Just leave your autograph Your autograph Just leave your autograph Your autograph Just leave your autograph Your autograph
Alone in my room I switch on the tube And wave at the screen It stares back at me So I turn to the sky And watch as it cries Just waiting in here For the car to appear cause when we're together the world smiles And when we're together it feels right We'll live for the future and its scenes When we're together, my co-star and me Your plane is delayed So I walk from the gate But when you appear I'll stick to you dear And we'll stumble outside And dance in the sunlight Like ice in the sun We'll melt into one Yes when we're together the world smiles And when we're together it feels right We'll live for the future and its scenes When we're together, my co-star and me When we're together the planets align When we're together I burn from the inside We'll live for forever in this insanity When we're together, my co-star and me
When we're together the world smiles And when we're together it feels right We'll live for the future and its scenes When we're together, my co-star and me When we're together the planets align And when we're together the stars gonna shine We'll live for forever in this insanity When we're together, my co-star and me
You grow your nails too long There's scratches on your arms You taste like orange chocolate You always put your hands in my pockets Your teeth are not quite straight Your mood swings oscillates Your language is appalling And you play with my hair in the morning Your imperfections are so beautiful I can't control my animal soul Your imperfections have got me on a chain Can't concentrate I'm a sucker for your beautiful mistakes
And sometimes when we kiss You touch my fingertips Synthetic words can't hide me Passion creeps like death inside me And slowly we become one We stick like chewing gum I want your language to be appalling I want you to play with my hair in the morning Your imperfections are so beautiful I can't control my animal soul Your imperfections have got me on a chain Can't concentrate I'm a sucker for your beautiful mistakes
Your imperfections are so beautiful I can't control my animal soul Your imperfections have got me on a chain Can't concentrate Your imperfections make you what you are My defective star My inelegant love Your imperfections are so beautiful I'm out of control I'm a sucker for the defects in your, your soul
I threw out the photographs Like yesterdays flowers I tried to erase the past But it won't go away And those where the curtains That you had made One thing's for certain The ghost of you stays I painted the second room And cleared out the basement And smelled some of your perfume On the scarf that you made The Salvation Army collected your things I gave them the jewellery, all the bracelets and rings Your clothes in black bin bags I gave them away I tried to move on but the ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays
I threw out the photographs Like yesterdays flowers I tried to erase the past But it won't go away I wake in the morning And try to be brave But it's hard to move on When the ghost of you stays
It's hard to move on When the ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays
This country looks like one big car park The winters are so very long And everybody wonders where the light has gone And Europe has its moving state lines But Africa has winter sun And you and me we're just two creatures on the run And we'll go where the crowds don't stare And no one laughs at what we wear The phone might ring The rain might sting oh but we don't care We'll fly over the endless ocean We're heading for the winter sun 'Cause you and me we're just two creatures on the run
And Europe has its moving state lines But Africa has winter sunshine And you and me we're just two creatures on the run And we'll go where the crowds don't stare And no one hates us for our hair The phone might ring The rain might sting oh but we don't care
We'll fly over the endless ocean We're heading for the winter sun 'Cause you and me we're just two creatures on the run America's our supermarket In India we'll take some stopping 'Cause you and me we're just two creatures on the run In Asia we can mend our breakdown 'Cause you and me we must escape now And you and me we're just two creatures on the run You and me we're just two creatures on the run You and me we're just two creatures on the run You and me we're just two creatures on the run
She shivers in the rain it's the capital connecting with her veins Stepping under statues and on trains 'till we are under covers She giggles like a child with no sign of all the tension in her life It's written on her T shirt and in her eyes that there is no other Cos we are the lovers we are the lovers We're different colours but we stand up as one We are the lovers we are the lovers Two different colours but we stand up as one All the silly things we do just remind me of the flippancy of youth Kissing under statues throwing food and getting into trouble She shivers in the cold it's the capital connecting with her bones Jumping into taxis here we go yes there is no other Cos we are the lovers we are the lovers We're different colours but we stand up as one We are the lovers we are the lovers Two different colours but we stand up as one
We are the lovers we are the lovers We're different colours but we stand up as one We are the lovers we are the lovers Two different colours but we stand up as one
Eyes that stare through television Intermission in his mind Where there once was such ambition Blared like a bass line when the bass line's right Shame he's just this fallen idol Shattered like some broken glass Shame he's just this fallen idol Bits of paper for his past Years are scattered like the rain drops Sits at the window through the empty day Competitions in the paper Stares in the sky When the sky turns grey Shame he's just this fallen idol Shattered like some broken glass Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shame he's just this fallen idol Scattered on the bit of grass Shame he's just this fallen idol Bits of paper for his past Bits of paper for his past
The pages burn, the babies scream And lovers text in Japanese The more you give, the more they need The more you live, the less you see
Religion breeds (Religion breeds) Like a disease (Like a disease) More people spit on refugees (can't get in with immigration) The more you live, the less you see The more you give, the more they need In this brave new century
So mother where do I belong? And mother what should I believe? Just look what's happened to your son In this brave new In this brave new century
We sit and choke (We sit and choke) On magazines (On magazines) And worship shit celebrities (No more mental masturbation) The more you give, the more they need The more you live, the less you see In this brave new century
I'm shaking and aching and talking to the sky I shiver in the night but I can't sleep You're as dark as the mascara that drips down from your eyes Look what you've done to me You're as dark as the ocean As cold as the rain You've got me weak with emotion You're such a beautiful pain Such a beautiful pain So I shelter in the wardrobe And shiver on the stairs And I slide down in the gutter with the leaves And I tried to talk to God as if he is really there Look what you've done to me You're as dark as the ocean As cold as the rain You've got me weak with emotion You're such a beautiful pain And I cling to my pillow And scratch out my veins You kiss like a killer You're such a beautiful pain Such a beautiful pain Such a beautiful pain (Such a beautiful pain)
As dark as the ocean As hard as the rain You've got me weak with emotion You're such a beautiful pain And I cling to my pillow And scratch out my veins You kiss like a killer Such a beautiful pain
When I hear the men outside my window kicking down my door All the megaphones are screaming letters of the lord Would you walk in through the gate and visit me? Would you please?, in the asylum
When they're counting out the chemicals and doing daily tasks Giving out presciption drugs and putting on their masks Would you wander through the ground to visit me? As they opened up the gates and turned the key Would you please?, in the asylum
If they burn my brain away would you understand? If they try to hold me down would you hold my hand? Could you stand?, stand the asylum
Estuary girl you're not the one You don't belong to the world that I'm from Your lazy words blow like confetti in the wind In the wind Estuary girl you're not part of my scene Your feet don't belong in my upholstery Sometimes I sink when you call me on the phone On the phone Oh but if you follow me I will follow you to the unknown Oh like Apollo, like Apollo we'll fly to the moon Oh yes if you follow me I will follow you to the unknown Oh like Apollo, like Apollo 13 we'll explode Sad as a song, a child of the streets Your skin don't belong on my designer sheets In eyeliner you wrote me a note that I'll never read at all Estuary girl Oh but if you follow me I will follow you to the unknown Oh like Apollo, like Apollo we'll fly to the moon Oh yes if you follow me I will follow you into the unknown Oh like Apollo, like Apollo 13 we'll explode Oh yes if you follow me I will follow you into the unknown Oh like Apollo, like Apollo we'll sink like a stone (You don't belong to the world that I'm from) Oh yes if you follow me I will follow you into the unknown (Estuary girl you're not the one) Oh like Apollo, like Apollo 13 we'll explode (You don't belong to the world that I'm from) (Estuary girl you're not the one) (You don't belong to the world that I'm from) (Estuary girl you're not the one) You don't belong to the world that I'm from
We're all looking for a love as strong as death That's part of our mind and part of our flesh Looking for a love that takes away our breath It's equally heart and equally head To be a wave that crashes over us To be a wave that crashes over us Like summer rain that washes over, over us Like summer rain that washes over Looking for a love as strong as death It's equally heart and equally head And I wonder if this love That people say is as strong as death Is out there somewhere (or just in their heads) Is it a wave that crashes over us? Is it a wave that crashes over us? Or summer rain that washes over, over us Or summer rain that washes over, over us
