She came all the way from America
Had a blind date with destiny And the sound of Te Awamutu Had a truly sacred ring Now her parents are divorced And her friend's committing suicide I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me So I talked to you for an hour In the bar of a small town hotel You asked me what I was thinking I was thinking of a padded cell With a black and white T.V. To stop us from getting lonely I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me No, I could not escape A plea from the heart Mysterious sympathy I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door You know what it means to me I saw you lying in the arms of a poet I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies (about me) Well whad'd'ya know, whad'd'ya know I could not escape You're down on the floor You know what it means to me I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door Mean ... You know what it means In the arms of a poet You know what it means |

Here's someone now whose got the muscle
His steady hand could move a mountain Expert in bed but come on now There must be something missing That golden one leads a double life You'll find out But I don't know where you go Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live So here we lie against each other These four walls can never hold us We're looking for wide open spaces High above the kitchen And we're strangers here On our way to some other place But I don't know where you go Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live The world where you live When friends come round You might remember and be sad Behind their eyes is unfamiliar Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live ... |

It never used to be that bad
But neither was it great Somewhere in the middle then Content and much too safe Oh tell me please Why it takes so long To realise when there's something wrong Chorus: Lay me out with your heart Now we're getting somewhere Push me back to the start Now we're getting somewhere Take me out let me breathe Now we're getting somewhere When I'm with you I don't care Where it is I'm falling There's money in the Bible Belt Hugs for daddy too Three wishes for eternity We've got some work to do Oh tell me please, tell me what went wrong Cos I believe there is something wrong Chorus When you took me to your room I swear I said surrender When you opened up your mouth I saw the words fall out Though nothing much has changed I swear I will surrender There is pain in me heart We can choose what we choose to believe |

There is freedom within
There is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead Many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road while you're traveling with me Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know that they won't win Now I'm towing my car There's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion, but there's no proof In the paper today Tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the TV page Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know that they won't win Now I'm walking again To the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only shadows ahead Barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and release Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us You know that they won't win Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now) Hey now, hey now Hey now, hey now Don't let them win (They come, they come) Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now) yeah (Hey now, hey now) |

There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
That never see the light of day I want to drag them out, go for a walk Just to see the look that's on your face Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you So forgive me if I tell a lie Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it I will love you till the day I die I believe in doing things backwards Take heed, start doing things in reverse Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax I'm talking to myself you're coming with me Teaching you how to distort the facts Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you So forgive me if I tell a lie Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it I will love you till the day I die I believe in doing things backwards Take heed, start doing things in reverse Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain All makes me glad of you Though I am far away I am always with you Know the answer before you know the question Pull yourself together, baby, push with all you might I'm all alone, always alone Though I am far away I am always with you |

Love can make you weep, it can make you run for cover
Roots that spread so deep, bring life to frozen ground (Something so strong) could carry us away (Something so strong) could carry us today Turning in my sleep, love can leave you cold The taste of jealousy, is like a lust for gold (Something so strong) could carry us away (Something so strong) could carry us today (I've been) feeling so much older (Frame me) and hang me on the wall (I've seen) you fall into the same trap (This thing) is happening to us all (Bridge) (Something so strong) could carry us away (Something so strong) could carry us today (Something so strong) (Something so strong) (Something so strong) Something something so strong |

There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky Left her car by the river left her shoes beside Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was ... Dreaming of glory Miles above the mountains and plains Free at last We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I The sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all She was coming to see him but something changed her mind Drove her down to the river There is no return There's a hole in the river where a memory lies From the land of the living to the air and sky She was coming to see him But something changed her mind, drove her down to the river There is no return |

Why do I kid myself
Why do I scream for pleasure It's four in the morning should know better But she can weave a spell Want it to last forever Making me feel like somebody special Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again Though I look everywhere I never seem to find it Always a shadow around a corner Drown it in alcohol Stuck in the elevator Hard to remember in the morning Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again Tell you about myself If you're in the mood to listen Baby you don't know who you're kissing This is a lonely world You are a strange companion When you get what you wanted You want to leave Honestly I want to free myself From the burden of inaction Honestly I want to raise myself To any plane I can imagine Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again |

You came
Out of this world to me My life Parted like the Red Sea We flowed Easy between the rocks and stones Never seemed to stop us The years Ended in confusion Don't ask me I don't know what happened But I am A man with a mission Must be the devil I don't know It's hard to let go Of all that we know As I walk away from you Hurled from my home Into the unknown As I walk away from you Reveal whatever you desire To you it may be death defying Black day In the coldness of winter Black words Slipping off my tongue I say forget it--it's over As a dark cloud covered up the sun It's hard to let go Of all that we know As I walk away from you The sun always sets With room for regrets As I walk away from you Give it to me Give it to me Your inspiration Give to receive Find all we need As I walk away Just a slave to ambition Tension your permanent condition So much you've always wanted Too much givin' you a sore head |

Look at all the plans I made
Falling down like scraps of paper I will leave them where they lie to remind me From the past a rumour comes Don't let it keep draggin' you down Throw the memory in an open fire You'll be free Roll back the tombstone Let the saints appear Roll back the tombstone Make a new man out of me Beware the passenger The train already left the station We are neither at home nor at work We are moving Listen to the howling of steel A face betraying no emotion Like you never had a chance to be Wild and free Roll back the tombstone Let the saints appear Roll back the tombstone Till the Lone Ranger rides again Rides again in your mind Rode across the open plain All the way and back again |

You take away my air
You make my lungs collapse I die tonight Feeling devastated That's what I call Livin' in your memory That's what I call Tired and deflated That's what I call Love I tidy up your room You tidy up my life Show me the door I'm abandoned here I'm warm to the core I can feel You sink I swim We never got in that deep You bend I break I die tonight Feeling devastated That's what I call Hangin' on and falling over That's what I call Tired and deflated That's what I call Love I got a little room The air's still pretty bad I die tonight Feeling devastated That's what I call Hanging on and falling over That's what I call Tired and deflated That's what I call Feeling devastated That's Living with a vacuum cleaner What Sweepin' up your memory I call love |
