i walk the city late at night.
does everyone here do the same? i want to be the things i see, give every face and place my name. i cross the street, take a right, pick up the pace, pass a fight. did i grow up just to stay home? i'm not immune - i love this tune. i wanna love more. i just wanna love more. i drag the city late at night. it's in my mouth, it's in my hair. the people fill the city because the fills the people, oh yeah. i cross the street, avoid the freeze - a city's warmer by a couple of degrees. the smell of food. the smell of rain. i'm not immune - i love this tune. i wanna love more. there's a river in my head. the only way out is down. the only way up is down. the days roll by like thunder like a storm that's never breaking, all my time and space compressed in the low pressure of proceedings, and they beat against the sides of my life like fists against the sides of my life, and the roads all lead behind me, so i wrap the wheel around me and i go out. there's a river in my head. i'll take you home and make it easy. love more. |

london in the low tide of the night,
not a taxi cab in sight. anaesthetised i start the journey home. i've been living months alone, i've been avoiding things - the phone rings, i use the answerphone. inside out in the daytime. outside in in the night time. when you're down and troubled you don't tell your friends, you don't tell you family, won't let them talk about me. i'm gonna let nobody down. soho in the high tide of the day and for a while i'm swept away - i just forget it. i use my walkman when i walk, i don't talk, but later on the moment's gone and i don't get it. inside out in the daytime. outside in in the night time. when you're down and troubled you don't tell your friends, you don't tell our family, won't let them talk about me. i'm gonna let nobody down. who shall i be tonight? who's gonna see tonight? who shall i be tonight? inside out in the daytime, wrong at the right time, i wanna know i'm good for you. outside in in the night time, right at the wrong time, i wanna know i'm good to you. when you're down and troubled you don't tell your friends, you don't tell your family, won't let them talk about me. i'm gonna let nobody down. |

i know i wasn't good
- maybe i was evern bad - but i was way too young to know just what i had. and if i let you down, now i let you go, but i was so young and now it's all gone. i'm the one to blame. you must never think i wish that you had stayed. look at where we are, i'm glad you got away. but who's your daddy now and where's your home? you're living somewhere new. d'you think he'd take me too? i'm the one to blame. now you forgot the words, please don't forget you name. and who gave that to you? well that was me again. who let you down and love you? that was me again. and who's the one to blame? that was me again. i'm the one to blame. |

This temperamental side
The one you say that you can't hide D' you ever see yourself The way it looks to someone else This temperamental trick The one you say you can't predict You're like an empty cup Forgive me if I don't wait up I don't get where you're coming from What is real and what's put on What has stayed and what has gone How long will this thing go on and on I don't want you to love me I don't want you to love me You're like an empty cup But I can't fill you up What planet are you on Not the same one I am from Do I just waste my time You pour your heart on mine You say it screws you up Forgive me if I don't wait up I don't get what you're trying to say What is wrong and what's okay You beat yourself up one more time You trample on this fierce heart of mine I don't want you to love me I don't want you to love me I don't know what you want from me All this endless sympathy You beat yourself up one more time You trample on this fierce heart of mine I don't want you to love me I don't want you to love me |

from the top you can see
so far into the distance. look, it's downhill all the way from here. and getting there is quicker, let go and you just slide. shouldn't take more than a year. i could almost like you, now it's nearly over, now you're feeling hopeless, now you're looking older. i heard what you said, and i recognised those feelings. i know how hard it is to watch it go. and all the effort that it took to get there in the first place and all the effort not to let the effort show. i could almost like you now you're looking over your shoulder. who's gonna come and find you? if you can ride the backlast there's still time for a comeback. you don't heave to lie down and die. but lazarus he only did it just the one time - he couldn't face another cry. i could almost like you now you're falling over, now you're feeling hopeless, now you're looking over your shoulder. who's gonna come and find you? who's coming up behind you. |

how much of yourself
do you give away after someone's left your life in disarray? it still hurts but it won't show because i'm too proud so you're never ever gonna know. i'm on the dark side of the street, not the light side of the street. it's packed at 2 am. i've got no coat, are you on your own? i'm into you. when are you going home? get into me. how much of the day can you sit around letting all your feelings drag you underground? i don't care and i do care because i want it if i know that it's out there everywhere. i'm on the dark side of the street, not the light side of the street. it's packed at 2am. i've got no coat, are you on your own? i'm into you. when are you going home? get into me. i saw you stading at the bar, don't know your name or who you are. it's packed at 2am. i've got no coat, are you on your own? i'm into you. when are you going home? get into me. |

you watch the phone like it was the tv.
if you're all alone, well whose fault can that be? your keys, your bag, the car - ther'e where they always are. and the light goes down and all the lights come on and they call to me, oh come on, come on, and you don't make no difference to me. you look at me, say "what you talking about?" well me, i'm going out, with or without. i know i don't get far and we're where we always are. but the light does down and all the lights come on, and they call to me, oh come on, come, and you don't make no difference to me. so you fix a drink, cause its time to drown, and the clock speeds up and then it slows right down. the life that we have missed, i think it still exist - how can you resist? but the light goes down and the streetlights shine and they call to me, you'll be dead a long time and it makes a difference to me. and the light does down and all the lights come on and they call to me, oh come on, come on. you can make a difference to me. come on, make a difference to me. |

Time goes slow and time goes fast I can feel you looking back at me To see how I?e done What is it inside you that makes you want to be my god Well it? so bright tonight It? so bright tonight It? so bright tonight Do you see those cars, those lights? The future of the future will still repeat today Time goes fast and fades away And you say think of the old days We could have them back again Well I thought about the old days They? go bad like they did then Well it? so bright tonight It? so bright tonight It? so bright tonight Do you see those cars, those lights? The future of the future will still contain tonight The passage of day the passage of light I? not going home again Tomorrow will never come I? not going home again Tomorrow will never come Well it? so bright tonight It? so bright tonight Do you see those cars, those lights? Do you see those roads, these skies? What ya gonna do about me now? (Repeat 8x) It? so bright tonight |
