So the skin has turned its back on me again
And it's back to playschool for me and my childhood friend
Well get over it!

And the words don't leave my mouth till I've had a dram
So I sit in the corner and watch you like the man I am
Well get over it!
Get over it!

D'you want my side, my side of the story?
D'you want my side, my side of the story?
Well I want you, want you like I'm eighteen
But I'm tied, tied to my baby
To my baby
Oh!

In another life I'd be drenched in sweat with you
But it's this life darlin', and in this life we make do
Oh get over it!
G-g-g-g-get over it!

Oh, d'you want my side, my side of the story?
D'you want my side, my side of the story?
Well I want you, want you like I'm eighteen
But I'm tied, tied to my baby
To my baby
My blessed baby


Oh here's my side, my side of the story
Well I'm so tired, sick tired of the story!
Oh I want that thing that turns the grass green
Oh I'd kill my life for, what could I be
What could I be?

(Oh yeah, get over it, oh yeah, oh get over yeah, get over it, get over me, get over, get over me, me, me...)

All the world is laughing
All the world is dancing
I'm sat here, romancing
Nobody, on my own

Won't you take me home?
Take me home
Take me home

Don't know where I'm going
Or who I am no more
Lying on the carpet, beating,
Beating, lying down on the floor

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

When all the world's been dreaming
I've been burning all my feelings
I wish that I was dreaming too
I wish I was asleep

Oh, take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

So, Cinderella sold her soul
There's no such thing as rock and roll
We all stood in the queue and sold our hearts

I think there was an accident
They came as quickly as they went
Now I'm half a million miles up in the sky

Standing on the last star
Standing on the last star
Spinning around

Standing on the last star
Standing on the last star
Feeling down
Trying to find the ground

Don't cry
Don't cry
I know it'll be alright

I've been trying
I've been trying
To tell myself that all night

If this is the end of history
The final account
Nobody to pin your hopes on
No money to count
Not even lips to say goodbye

Standing on the last star
Standing on the last star
In the sky

Standing on the last star
Standing on the last star
There's no decent reason why

Standing on the last star
Standing on the last star
Waiting to die
Somebody left the taps on in the sky

Oh, tell me

Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?

Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?

Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?

Words are never easy
Words are seldom true
Words are never simple darling
When they're aimed at you

Words are never gentle
Words are never plain
Words are never what they think they are
That's the problem with pain

Words are never my own
Try well as they might
They break me into pieces, darling
From the greatest of heights

I left you in the morning
When the tears stained my smile
I left you in the morning, darling
For a long, long while

Oh and I think life would be so much easier if they had no words
And I think life would be so much happier if I knew no words
I'd smile at you when I was happy
And shed a tear when I was sad
Yeah, I think life would be so much easier if I was half the drunken man

Don't blame it on me
Oh, blame it on the words
Don't blame it on me
Oh, blame it on the words

Blame it on the words
Blame it on the words
Blame it on the words

When the train comes to stop
Oh, I don't wanna move
And blunder back into it all

When the plane come to land
I wanna stay inside
And rise up to the clouds again

Cause dealing with the real world
Is sometimes not too fun
When baby says she loves you
Whilst holding up a gun

Thank goodness
I've got imaginary creatures
Laying on the advice
By my side
By my side

When the film credits roll
I stay right till the end
Then wander the streets with my eyes ablaze

All I really want to do
Is go straight back and watch it again
Playing a different person every time

Oh, cause living in the real world
Can sometimes get so strange
When you fall in love with statues
And cockatiels in a cage

Well, it seems I've got imaginary lovers
They say they're protecting the space
By my side
By my side

There's something
Oh, so unusual
About the way you say you're sorry
Over and over again

There's something
Oh, so unusual
About the way you say you're sorry
Over and over again

One love, one last kiss
One last man prowling the sky
One dream, one last kiss
One last love, lost in the sky

There's something
Oh, so unusual
About the way you say you're sorry
Over and over again

Dry those tears in your eyes
Let your heart cry
Dry those tears in your eyes
Let your heart cry

One love, one last kiss
One last man prowling the sky
One dream, one last kiss
One last love, lost in the sky

One love, one last kiss
One last man prowling the sky
One dream, one last kiss
One last love, lost in the sky

How can you look at me and smile
After all and everything you said
There are things about you
That don't fit together in my head

Because you lie
And you cry
And you cry

And you lie
And you lie
And you lie
And you cry

And you lie
And you cry
And you lie
And you lie

All the notebooks in the world can never hold the lives I hold
But I've gotta make them real
It's like covering a bird in solid steel
All of these thoughts that I conceal
Through silence

All the hearts in this red world can never hold the love I hold
But I'm throwing it away
It's like swimming in oceans made of clay
Swimming in circles 'round the bay
So blindly

Well feed me out to the lions
My hearts a lion
Feed me out to the lions

well I make excuses pass the buck
I play the crowd but it's down to me not luck
When the lights are on

The dreaming clouds they're living in
They try to hide their master fear
But their tears they catch on fire
And as they drop they dance with my desire
Don't think a plane could get much higher
(plane could get much higher)
Higher than I do

Just on imagination, just on hope
Just on the thought that you will someday have a face
Give me a beat and real sound
Maybe some feet will reach cold ground
To find you

Well feed me out to the lions
If I say this one more time
Feed me out to the lions

I beg, I hope, I wish, I pray
But that's not gonna send me on my way
When the lights come on

You're feelin' old

It's 1 o'clock on a Friday morning,
I'm trying to keep my back from the wall.
The prophets and their pawns have had another success
And I'm wondering why we bother at all.

And I think of you on cold winter mornings, darling
They remind me of when we were in school,
Nothing really mattered when you called out my name
In fact nothing really mattered at all

And I think about how long it will take them to blow us away
But I won't get me down!
I'm just thankful to be facing the day.
Cause days don't get you far when you're young.

It's 5 o' clock on a Friday morning
One hundred telephones shake and ring
One of those was someone who knew you

And I'll still think of you on cold winter mornings, darling
They'll still remind me of when we were in school
When they could never have persuaded me,
That lives like yours, were in the hands of these erroneous fools

And to those of you who mourn your lives through one day to the next
Well let them take you next!
Can't you live and be thankful you're here?
See - it could be you, tomorrow, next year.

When you love someone
And you trust someone
None of the world can tell you that they're lying

Then you lose someone
And the bee gets stung
And the only real thing you wanna see it do is die

Hear the animals sing:

Big heart
Big hug
Big dog
That's what I want

So let's not pretend
We're the best of friends
All of the world that we've been crying

And the pressure's on
Now the red light's on
See me break down
See me break down
See me break down
See me break down

It's not over
It's all over

Sick and tired of your pretty face
So sick of it
Sick and tired of it

Get out, get on
Big dog, I don't know what I want
You're the soul in my shoes
But I can't get along with you

It's not over
It's over

Nothing is everything now

Big heart
Big hug
Big dog
That's what I want

When the moon's in the sky I like it
When the moon's in the sky we like it
It's not gonna give us bad advice
So go and dance with your thunder and lightning
Where the paradise birds are fighting
Let's shake things up a bit tonight

Are you coming out tonight?
Are you coming out tonight?
Cos we're going out tonight
And we won't be cattle on your farm tonight

Ask yourself why
Come on, ask your man why
Cos you're ugly and you lie
And you kriss kross kriss kross
It's a lie
So bye bye bye bye bye bye

Are you coming out tonight?
Well come out with us tonight
Cos there's wrong and there is right
And we know which one we are tonight

Ah don't start crying now
Don't go crying now
Cos the moon is gonna dance for us tonight
Don't go dying now
You're not dying now
And the sky is just not close to us tonight

And as for you, friend
High in your high home
Watching us all falling down like rain
I hope you're happy
Feel really holy
Cos your godliness has taken every single thing I loved on earth tonight

Oh I won't let you leave me
You're all I've got, believe me
Stay
Don't close your eyes
Nobody really dies
They all just end up in the sky
So far away
