> I know I said I love you
But I'm thinking I was wrong I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young And I never meant to hurt you And I wrote you ten love songs That guy that I could never get Coz his girlfriend was pretty fit And everyone who knew her loved her so And I made you leave her for me And now I'm feeling pretty mean But my mind has thrown me over More times than any man could ever know Maybe I should give up giving Give up trying to be thin Give up and turn into my mother God knows I love her And I'm sorry to which ever man Should meet my sorry state Watch my steady lonesome gait And be aware I will never love a man Coz love and pain go hand in hand And I can't do it again So we stay up late one night To try and get our problems right But I couldn't get into his head Just what was going through my mind And I think he knew where I was going Coz he put Bryan Adams on Coz I think he thinks it makes me weak But it only ever makes me strong I've got this friend who sounds just like him And he's the man I'd leave you for The man that I just adore like you The same night he turns to me Says I've got to tell you how I feel If God could make the perfect girl for me It would be you And Michael told me not to tell her And how much do you love your fella I don't know, more everyday Not in this new romantic way I'll always be your first love You'll always be my first love And I'm sorry to which ever man Should meet my sorry state Watch my steady lonesome gait And be aware I will never love a man Coz I can never hurt a man in this way I will never love a man Coz I can never hurt a man Not in this new romantic way |

I woke up and he was screaming, I'd left him dreaming
I roll over and shake him tightly and whisper If they want you, oh, they're gonna have to fight me Oh, fight me I woke up on a bench on Shepherd's Bush Green Oh, a candle at my chest and a hand on his knee I got up it was dark, there's no one in the park at this hour How do I keep finding myself here? Oh, fight me If I look back and he is screaming, I'd left him dreaming The dangers fade And I'll run back and shake him tightly and scream If they want him, oh, they're gonna have to fight me Oh, fight me But if I wake up on a bench on Shepherd's Bush Green Oh, a candle at my chest and a hand on his knee I'll roll over and hold him tightly and scream If you want him, oh, you're gonna have to fight me Oh, fight me Don't fight me |

Again I let jealousy blind me today.
My oldest friend and I blew her away. Just a few kind words and all I could say was I've known you of ten years it feels like a day. And oh I watched her cry, torn apart at the hands of a child. And again I used arrogance as something to depend and condemned all religion to pitiless end. And a politician's resonance rang through my mind. Patriotic in one sense the other just blind. Oh so many died, torn apart at the hands of a child And I'll keep on going I've got nothing to lose. I gave up morals when I took up you and it's boring to hear of another young truth and what a typically shit thing to do. I was so shallow to the one man that'd stuck around sunk so low that I nearly drowned and I screamed of his heart when he wasn't around Consoled him recklessly, I knew you were down. Oh I watched him cry, a broken heart at the hands of a child. And I'll keep on going I've got nothing to lose I gave up morals when I took up you and its boring to hear of another young truth and what a typically shit thing to do. I have felt heartbreak too and I know what it feels like. I have felt heartbreak now you can leave me alone right. I have felt loneliness and I know what it feels like. But I kept on going I had nothing to lose, and I gave up morals when I took up booze. And it's boring to hear of another young truth and what a typically shit thing to do. |

He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side Stood at the table where she sat And removed his hat In respect of her presence Presents her with the pictures and says "These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you. These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you" Opened up his little heart Unlocked the lock that kept it dark And read a written warning Saying I'm still mourning Over ghosts Over ghosts Over ghosts Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you [Chorus] Lover, please do not Fall to your knees It's not Like I believe in Everlasting love He went crazy at nineteen Said he'd lost all his self esteem And couldn't understand why he was cry, cry, crying, crying. He would stare at empty chairs Think of the ghosts that once sat there The ghosts who broke his heart. All the ghosts that broke my heart The ghosts that broke his heart All the ghosts that broke my heart The ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, The ghosts, the ghosts The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you [Chorus] He says "I'm so lost, Not at all well" Do as though there is nothing left to be Turned out I'd been following him and he'd been following me Do as though after it was over We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders And I said [Chorus: x2] |

Honey, I'm going your way, I don't think so You can chase me through the rain And scream my name, a childish game But I love to be young And honey, I was never gonna change And honey, you are never gonna change But you love, don't you love it that way Old stone Ten thousand years and you're still on your own Don't you love Don't you love me that way And if you swear that you're alright I'm not gonna try and change your mind 'Cause the same night I dream that I lose you I'll fall in love Oh honey, don't let me walk away from this If I'm trying to fuck up my own life Then until I figure out why I think it's best you keep your distance Lest I fall in love Old stone Ten thousand years and you're still on your own Don't you love Don't you love me that way He chased me through the rain Honey, I'm going your way, I don't think so You can chase me through the rain And scream my name, a childish game But I love to be young |

He taps at my window
Willing that I let him in I don't think I will though My heart's taken, I won't tell him again. Maybe I'll write him a story And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms. Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fall unawake again. And until you calm me down Race around this town Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny. I will not have him treat me this way. And Mother, I blame you. Therein trying to be you again For I have become you, And I know every part of the game And Father, I love you But how can you watch as I push her away? I cannot forgive you for bringing me up this way. Maybe I'll write them a story And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms. Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fall un-awake again. And until you calm me down I race around this town Until you calm me down I race around this town Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny I will not have them treat me this way. So tap at my window, Maybe I might let you in. I don't think I will though, My heart's taken, I won't tell you again |

He used to be a singer in a rock and roll band
He would write the songs and I'd tremble at his hand but oh la la He lost my word to get the girl And his songs were pathetic And hes a failure now He used to be the life and soul of everyone around You'd never catch him looking up I'd never see him down But oh la la He couldn't raise a smile No not for a while And he's a failure now. Don't cry child You've got so much more to live for Don't cry child You've got something I would die for And if it comes to the rain Just be glad you'll smile again Because so many don't and so many go unnamed People push right pass me shouting their disclaims A preacher pushes me a side and asks to wash my sins I said no la la If he made me in his image then he's a failure too. I used to need a couple people keep my head down Now I need a whole lot more to keep me on the ground. But oh la la I gave up something and I gave it up for nothing and I'm a failure now. Don't cry child You've got so much more to live for Don't cry child You've got something I would die for And if it comes to the rain just be glad you'll smile again Because so many don't and so many go un named |

Look down on the body that you have grown
Mountains stand around you they're not your own. When white squares and bodies are all you see Since you broke down Since I broke down Since we broke down [Chorus] Now I jump into your grave and die Now my word you'll give up your whole life for me And you'll be reborn bigger and stronger and less alive Cross your fingers hold your toes We're all gonna die when the building blows Cross your fingers hold your toes We're all gonna die when the building blows And the house you were born in Is crumbling at the corners Sagging skin and feet of crows Feet of crows [Chorus] |

You kicked the blow, now you've got to kick the guy.
You sat alone, under bellowing sky. If I feel God judging me, I fell into the water, And now I'm free. My friends they don't really get me, think I'm the only one. Well I sold my soul to Jesus and since then I've had no fun. Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace, Inside every man is a heart of sand, you can see it in his face. And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. The wind and I we speak the same but he don't hear so well, If you gonna have to curse him well you're gonna have to yell. And the sky and I we've had our fights but I'm coming round to rain, If the rain come out and I don't go out I don't ever have to speak again. I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. The captain's got his boots on and he's heading out the door, Leaving his lady alone thinking, 'He don't love me no more.' He's done with all his bullshit, he's going back to war, If heaven is as heaven does then this is hell for sure. And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. You kicked the blow, now you've got to kick the guy. You sat alone, under bellowing sky. If I feel God judging me, I fell into the water, And now I'm free. |

I don't like your eyes dark I need shine, I need shine, I need shine Step away from my light, I need shine I am honest, no, not a shouter I am reformed, reborn, and forgiven And you've been busy but you've missed me And I've plagued your mind You will never go outside You will never go back to being blind I need shine, I need shine, I need shine Step away from my light, I need shine I need shine, I need shine, I need shine Step away from my light, I need shine |

I might be a part of this
Ripple on water from a lonesome drip A fallen tree that witness me I'm alone, Him and me. And then life it's self can not aspire To have someone be so admired I threw creation to my king Have the silence broken by a whispered wind. All of this can be broken All of this can be broken Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground. And root to root and tip to tip I look at him my country gip Let it up I own his fears But someone brought you close to tears. Many trains and many miles Like you to me on this sunny isle What of which you wish to speak Have you come here to rescue me? All of this can be broken All of this can be broken Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground. But the love of your life Lives but lies no more And where she lay A flower grows. The arms are fed The babes have wed And the backs have bled, Keeping her in tow. But I am keeper And I hold your face away from light I am yours till they come I am yours till they come. Eye to eye Nose to nose Ripping off each others clothes In the most peculiar way. Eye to eye Nose to nose Ripping off each others clothes In the most peculiar way. |

They dance like sirens, hoping the sun would come out again
And I was born in the fog of that day Can they hear a babe over all the faith, Or have they forgot what it was that they made Crawled out of the fog, found a river, Found a log and floated away Didn't think I'd be coming back this way But my feet are resolute; Found their root and brought me back to its place And on the hill where I was born, There is no rose but just a thorn; They cut it off each year and give it away But can they hear a babe after all these days, Or have they forgot what it was that they made So left to wander blind, I find myself in cautious times, And they say, Love's labor is never lost; labor on to this very day. So I walk into the fog, found a babe atop a log and all alone Took him under, took him on, Taught him everything about the world I'd come to know And he blames me for every wrong ever he made I am blamed for every wrong ever he made Forgive me I am only a maid Forgive me I am only a maid But I can see a babe under all that blame And I am forgot from the day I am laid |

He could fall and she can weep but as holy are my feet
And hard with mention but dear, they may not speak We fell tight when there is tension And our eyes could make us weak And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become And his soul was seldom higher with the falsities of fun He could embrace sweet desire as in moments as they pass But he feared it evermore, he saw it didn't last We walk up Holland Avenue and watch the rich as they consume Their product made our hearts exude, emptiness unrivaled By the hunger that I could control and he'd pray up to his God That he might save his soul But the gray in this city is too much to bear The gray in this city is too much to bear And I believe you are meant to be seen But not to be understood And I want to be held by those eyes I want to be held by those eyes You'll work your thumbs till they're sore And you'll work my heart till it's raw And you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall We are basic lies We are basic lies |

I'm broken too, and spoken for. Do not, tempt me. Her skin is fun, and I'm light as the sun, so holy light shines, on the things, you have done. So I asked him, how he became this man? How that he learned, to hold fruit in his hands? and where is the lamb, that gave you your name? He had to leave, though i begged HIM to stay. Left you alone, when you needed the light. Fell to your knees, and you wept for your life! If he had of stayed, you might understand. If he had of stayed, you never would've taken my hand. He wrote, I'm alone. Please send for me. but I'm broken too, and spoken for. Do not, tempt me. and where is the lamb, that gave you your name? He had to flee, though I begged him to stay. Begged him to stay, in my cold wooden grip. Begged him to stay, by the light of my ship. Me fighting him, fighting light, fighting dawn. The waves came, and stole him, and took him toward. He wrote, I'm broke. Please send for me. but I'm broken too, and spoken for. Do not, tempt me. Forgive me, dear, I cannot stay.

But darkness descends once more into my life And suddenly we're all alone in silence So I take a step away I look up to the falling snow As it makes its home upon my face Well, I wouldn't want to ruin Something I couldn't save The gap will keep us safe, the gap will keep us safe Step away, get me when I'm down And suddenly I'm five I've years old And I'm just so cold I want to cry I haul up on my gentlemen Who have always been there in hard times They're just not like that man of mine Who visit me from time to time My love, I treasure you I hear that summer's coming back So I stretch out my back and travel a long The winter though it darkens me It is pure and clean and all I want I'll apologize to the ones I love For leaving them when the sun comes up Too bright for me, darkness descends Oh well, I'm not well again And once more darkness it descends The ground is falling under me And I can't find the means to leave Convinced that I am going mad Oh, I bury my head into his hands So sure that I'm losing faith Oh, I clear a space in his father's land You deal with God far too young Before you know it your life has run away |

My husband left me last night
Left me a poor and lonely wife I cooked the meals and he got the life And now I'm just out for the rest of my time For me For he For my I speak because I can To anyone I trust enough to listen. You speak because you can To anyone who'll hear what you say. I swear it was not my choice I used to be so kind. Never road my bike down to the sea Never finished that letter I was writing. Never got up and shared anything For me For he For my Oh graceful sleeper Midnight dreamer I'm flawed by your sound. I'm flawed by your sound. I swear it was not my choice. To reach out for someone wise. I used to be so kind. I used to be so kind. In the breaking of the morning you'll be dancing on the soft lawn You'll be sinking at the anchor that stopped you from taking my gold You'll be running up the highway singing "I'm the king the king of you all!" When you look back to where you started I'll be there waving you on. I never road my bike down to the sea Never quite figured out what I believe Never got up and shared anything For me For he For my |

Oh I have been wondering where I have been pondering
Where I've been lately is no concern of yours Who's been touching my skin Who have I been letting Shy and tired eyed am I today I'm wounded by dust All I have been wondering where I have been pondering Where I've been lately is no concern of yours Who's been touching my skin Who have I been letting Tried and tired eyed am I today Sometimes I sit, sometimes I stare Sometimes they look and sometimes I don't care Rarely I weep, sometimes I must I'm wounded by dust When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime You better call for your woman up high And when the bell tolls for your last day, You'll be getting down on your knees to pray I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day I'm not a woman that is going to place claim but you said that it was coming on judgement day Now Sophia I'm wounded by dust When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime You better call for your woman up high And when the bell tolls for your last day, You'll be getting down on your knees to pray I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day I'm not a woman that is going to place claim but you said that it was coming on judgement day Now Sophia I'm wounded by dust Now Sophia |

God's work is plans
I stand here with a man that talked to me so candidly More than you need to. My lips once roosed I feel again the blues of longing, ever longing, to be confused He wrote me a letter Saying he would love me better When my poor sons begetter the rules Spoke of love like hunger He at once was younger, ever younger, in my hunger for a muse Finest man that I've seen ever since my eyes have been But his honesty did gleam me blind Keep those thoughts from sight Follow me into the night And you can call on me when you need the light Don't you be scared of me I'm nothing but the beast And I'll call on you when I need to feast You know what I need Why won't you giveth me? Must I fall down at your feet and plead? |

I was just a card, caught up in the stars,
Looking down to Mars. You know, you know He knows, he knows something About me that I don't want him to know. Never found a solid hand till I found that man, Till I found that man of mine. You were looking at me, thinking, "Who is she?" Never knew the sky was white till I took that flight, Till I took that flight to him, Tonight. I was just a card, caught up in the stars, Looking down to Mars. You know, you know I know, I know something About you that you don't want me to know. Could've sworn I had that man when he took my hand, When he took my hand down near you. You were looking at me, thinking, "Who am I?" Didn't even see the night till I said goodbye, Till I said goodbye to him, Tonight. |

I choose to stay far away
From the ones that think Money is money to share Don't ask me why And i'll tell you no lies Sonny don't come here no more He don't drink from this well O he's done with the world And done with the girl And i don't ask him why And he tells me no lies Those of us who are lost and low I know how you feel I know it's not right but it's real But it's real. I don't ask for love And i don't beg for money I'm just asking for grace and forgiveness Now honey don't ask me why And i'll tell you no lies. Been looking for answers In unsavoury places On the highest of mountains And on the lowest of bases And i still don't know why I still don't know why. Those of us who are lost and low We know how you feel We know it's not right but it's real But it's real. I took the wind from the sea I took the blood from an arrow I took the wisdom of spring And i was thrown and blown and tossed and turned until Time found its hand and called an end Me and time we go way back when I was a child And i always knew why. I knew my name I knew my road And i stayed away from heavy loads I'm still, i'm low O lord am i low Those of us who are lost and low We know how you feel We know it's not right but it's real But it's real. |

I am from Salinas
Where the women go forever And they never ever stop to ask why My mother was a saviour Of six foot of bad behaviour Long blonde curly hair down to her thigh O my mother O my friends Ask the angels Will I ever see heaven again? Late into the evening They would take each other screaming Looking back into the back of her eyes A careless beast was bleating That the air behind was breathing That they musn't ever look up to the sky There no answers There are found Ask the angels Am I heaven bound? Mmmm put it down to me I, who speak awkwardly Any word if it is heard is not intended to be Not for him and not for her And not for them and not for me O and that gun would turn Before the sun starts to burn Understand Mmmm when the clouds roll in And we start to pay for our sins With a gun in my hand And my son at my shoulder I believe I will run Before that boy gets older O when that gun will turn Befor the sun starts to burn Understand O when that gun will turn Befor the sun starts to burn Understand I am from Salinas Where the women go forever And they never ever stop to ask why My mother was a saviour Of six foot of bad behaviour With long dark curly hair down to her thigh O my mother O My friends Ask the angels Will I ever see heaven again? Will I ever see heaven again? Will I ever see heaven again? Punish them all for they speak too much Hate the world what it did to us Will I ever see heaven again? |

Where did our love go
You will never know How did you get home You will never know Did you catch yourself in the mirror? It's a sight i understand You considered it all for a second And put it down to slight of hand You know i've been running 'round for hours Calling my egyptian blood to bear me flowers Calling sophia, goddess of power Instead i got the beast And tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me And here comes to beast You're okay now, i suppose You're not pulled by the rope I'm pulled by the pull on my throat I'm pulled by the rope I swing from the trees into the slope Hold my head high, just by the tip of my toes And he lies, he lies so sweet that i choke Tonight i choose the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me And here comes the beast Put your eyes away If you can't bear to see your old lady laying Down next to the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me And here comes the beast Look at yourself in the mirror It's a sight i understand You consider it all for a second And put it down to slight of hand I give you the best, the best that i can I suggest that you be grateful That it's your blood on my hands And assume yourself weaker, the fall of man And look out for the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me And here comes the beast Put your eyes away If you can't bear to see your old lady laying Down next to the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me And here comes the beast |

Darling I loved you
I long to become you And know what it is that you feel We dance the sorrow Forgive me tomorrow I pray Night after night Day after day Would you watch my body weaken My mind drift away? Dear lover forsaken Our love is taken away You were my speaker My innocence keeper I don't Night after night Day after day Would you watch my body weaken And my mind drift away? Dear lover forgiven My love is driven by rage O I should just leave you Instead of deceive you But I don't Night after night Day after day Would you watch my body weaken And my mind drift away? I count as no one Hold nobody's ear I showed you my hand once And you hit me in fear I don't stand for the devil I don't whisper in ears I stand on the mountains And call people to hear Sudden bursts of light It's a fate foretold It is knowing It is knowing He longs for the answers As all of us must He longs for the woman Who will conquer his lust He screams in the night I scream in the day I weep in the evening And lie naked and pray Night after night Day after day Night after night Day after day Would you watch my body weaken And my mind drift away? A tempting communion It's a fate foretold It is knowing It is knowing What it is that you're told |

My friends, my dear friends
And lovers, oh my lovers I'd leave you for them They got a hand on my back Mama has money now and Mama has friends She's making rags for some uptown hags With their money in bags And why are you so sad? Why are you always so sad? Why do I not understand? Why don't I see what it is you see? Why can I live and just be? I'm full of guilt I am full of guilt You're very tall, you're very handsome You have it all, your skin smells like man And I, you never know how I ache You will never know how I ache Don't touch that in grace Ever considered the sea? I heard you had to be strong Why not float around with me? It won't take you so long You can go where I'm at You can hang around with me And a few good men will go where they all Where they all not be And a few good mothers go for what they, What they all not teach And I long for a touch or reminder of us but, But it must not be And a few strong branches over water reach for what they all not reach I hope your mother knows where it is you have been I hope your mother knows what it is you have seen She'd be so proud She will never know how I ache |

There lies a man of my heart
A fine and complete work of art Here I his woman His home and his heart And proud to be playing that part And proud to be playing that part Rest in the bed of my bones All that I want is a home And all you can do Is promise me bold That you won't let me grow dark Or cold As long as we both shall live. The sirens come Feel your call as a sound as I Believe in you The first deal's the hardest I'm sure Where our shadows come to the shore Know that it's you and I till the end And all I want from life is to Hold your hand All that I have are these bones And all that I want is a home And all you can do Is promise me bold That you won't let me grow dark Or cold As long as we both shall live. The sirens come They always will But the dart between my heart and his Is as good as a diamond chain Rest in the bed of my bones All that I want is a home And all you can do Is promise me bold That you won't let me grow dark Or cold As long as we both shall live. |
