Down on the ocean floor
That's where I'm heading for Hold on to a sinking stone Until the worst is known. Nobody wants to think about it Nobody wants to talk about it Nobody Protects you They make it go away Pretending that it's all ok Broken pieces on the ground And everyones tip-toeing round Nobody wants to think about it Nobody wants to talk about it No-one Protects you Yeah Are we losing something We used to cry We used to say why For all I know I might not get home But I found out If we open it up We could work this out Nobody wants to think about it Nobody wants to talk about it Now What you suspected all along Everything he told you was wrong And you can see it if you want But nobody wants to |

Another pleasant day in the countryside
Ended up in tears on a stormy night 'Cause you can't follow my directions home Don't stop now God knows where the satellite's taking us Can't tell what is right in front of us But I hang on every word Don't stop now No, don't stop now Give me something I can write about Get fooled by the lightning every time See the after image of my outline Then you turn the wrong way ‘round Well, don't stop now No, don't stop now Give me something I can write about Give me something I can cry about In a church house ten miles out of town Is the devil gonna track me down When you travel through a tunnel in the trees Just remember that's how you get to me There's no number on the house The birds are heading south Sometimes you have to turn The wrong way ‘round Sometimes you get too close to nowhere now Restless, hopeful, in silence I wait With a blank piece of paper on the top of my head And all I want is something I can write about All I want is something I can cry about |

She called up
And gave me the news It made me so sad, sad, sad There was nothing I could do She's too far away And you had to leave I can never repay you now For what you gave to me A whisper that can blow a chasm wide It took us all It took us all Pushed apart the mountains and the tide It took us all She called up And gave me the news It made me so sad, sad, sad There was nothing I could do I was so lost In delirious sleep Wasn't prepared for that position Yeah maybe I was naive But truth is a mortal blow You know all there is to know The hurt that you held so close There's something better now And she called up And gave me the news It made me so sad, sad, sad There was nothing I could do She's too far away And you had to leave I can never repay you now For what you gave to me For what you gave to me She called up She called up She called up And gave me the news |

Say that again
I won't forget The phrase that turned in my head And at the start It makes no sense A long time left to understand There on the shore The girl that I adore She combs her hair on the sand And I know You got to fight the plan You got to bend the rules Yeah I know You got be your own man You got break the rules I think too much The alphabet They dance a pirhoutte in my head A chance remark Becomes the spark And maybe luck has come again The hint of a smile The accidental rhyme That captured me the first time And I know You got to fight the plan You got to bend the rules Yeah I know You got be your own man You got make the rules Midnight is standing in the shadows This haunting is a reckless escape Late nights of crawling on the sidewalk Lets stay on in the mansion for the weekend Lets go on making moments last a lifetime We live on in the promises we keep The hint of a smile The accidental rhyme That captured me the first time And I know You got to fight the plan You got to bend the rules Yeah I know You got be your own man You got break the rules And I know you got to be your own man you got to make your own rules Go on making moments last a lifetime We live on in the company we keep Lets go on |

He imagines the world
As the angel ascending Like the ghost of a man Who is tied up to the chair And he tries to believe That his life has a meaning With his hand on his heart Pour le monde, pas pour la guerre And I wake up blind Like my dreams were too bright And I lost my regard For the good things that I had And the radio was sad When you listen for good In a hope that comes to nothing ‘Cos the liars have moved in And they believe their own Dark medicine They act so nonchalant But he is not a dog Perform for you in the stadium For the world, not for the war And he won't hesitate Though it might lead to heartache In the night club indigo For the world, not for the war Pour le monde, pas pour la guerre When you listen for good In a hope that comes to nothing 'Cos the liars have moved in And they brew their own Dark medicine Believing it's good Behind their jaded eyes, A dilemma He's the best You ever had He's so low You'll never know |

I want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive So where do I begin To help you believe again Makers of secret planes Keepers of our last remains Dream of a holy state In a nightmare time You know I meant it well But who was it meant to help? Even a child knows you dont waste it A promise is only given once And there is no doubt that changes have begun Even a child knows that you can't fake it As long as the world is waking up You are free now to recover your heart The stories left to write The ebb and flow of my life To justify the end I'll do everything I can And it's a dangerous game I heard you tell someone that you don't care But I don't believe the message And when you sing about love What are you thinking of? Even a child knows you dont waste it As long as the world is waking up And there is no doubt that changes have begun Even a child knows you don't fake it A promise is only given once You are free now to go wherever you want Theres nothing like waking up in some foreign town Music is a call to prayer Wailing out of the speakers in the market place The first time Even a child Even a child knows you don't waste it A present can always be delivered twice You are free now to receive the gift of insight From now on (lets be open) All in time (lets breathe in) Am I brave (you're so brave) Am I afraid (no not afraid) Even a child |

Plead with my saint
Wash his hands and feet Find his complaints Make this world complete And this heaven that I'm making Can't come quickly enough And the big wave that I'm taking It feels like I'm just waking up Mind out, don't think I can't get used to it Right on the brink I end up losing it And this heaven that I'm making It can't come quickly enough And the big wave that I'm taking It feels like I'm just waking up And I'll be there If all of creation is kind And each conversation I hear As I'm walking in through the crowd As if I can float through the air And this heaven Well, this heaven that I'm making It can't come quickly enough And this big boat that I'm taking Can't come by quickly enough If there is hell on Earth There must be heaven, too Both in one place And not a second to lose |

A sigh
from the deepest well you can tell a lot by not saying a thing It's true between us, my friend this longing... A sigh for loneliness to end no changing the story now a sigh from the emptiest part it's a tender place a sigh is more than I can bear this show is not fooling anyone but it's all for you but i think your mind is made up |

These walls have eyes
Rows of photographs With faces like mine Who do we become Without knowing where we started from It's true I'm missing you And I stand alone Inside your room Everything that you made by hand Everything that you know by heart I will try to connect All the pieces you've left I will carry it on And let you forget I'll remember the years When your mind was still clear All the flickering lights They filled up this silent house One room Two beds In the closet hangs your favourite dress Good books that you read Are in pieces now The pages are shredded Everything that you made by hand Everything that you know by heart I will try to connect All the pieces you've left I will carry it on And let you forget I'll remember the years When your mind was still clear All the flickering lights That filled up this silent house Everything that you made by hand Everything that you know by heart All the names that you can't recall I will try to connect All the pieces you've left I will carry it on And let you forget I'll remember the years When your mind was still clear All the flickering lights That filled up this silent house |

English trees in my garden
They planted seeds in a faraway land In between the palms and the succulent grow They lose their leaves in the winter Mark the seasons for him and for her Once upon a time in the fallen snow Up against the sky made a silhouette show England cries and she plays for him Her chords entwined like a requiem And though it's springtime and color is new In Regent's Park I will mourn for you And I must be wise somehow 'Cause my heart's been broken down It's so far to fall And so hard to climb Nothing sadder I know Than the passing of time You won't forget me You won't forget me Like english trees in my garden Summer's missed you my darling All your crimes are forgiven All your crimes are forgiven And I must be wise somehow (You won't forget me) (You won't forget me) And England cries There's English trees in my garden |

She walked her way down
It brought my mind back From where I was trapped How long will it take For tension to break Feel it sliding off Shimmy-like cloth I left on the ground And I know what the answer is And I'm happy to be here tonight But when you're in the moment Everything you want is right But before she takes a step She's waiting for the beat to arrive And the drummer's counting out the start She walked her way down In silver and black Tension is snapped I picked up the trace A scent I can't place Remembering desire Higher and high Lift off the ground And I know what the answer is But I'm happy to be here tonight And when you're in the moment Everything you want is right From before she takes a step She's waiting for the beat to arrive The drummer makes the same mistake And my eyes are on the shape That is captured in the light All went quiet on the floor When she walked her way down As we happen to be here tonight But don't we make a beautiful sight And when you're in the moment Everything you want is right But before she takes a step She's waiting for the beat to arrive If you're tamed by all the pressure Everything you want to become The drummer always comes in late And my eyes are on the shake That is captured in the light And I want to feel the weightless grasp Upon my heavy life |

Talk to her, that's right
It could mean more than you think Talk to her, that's right And you don't have to lose a thing Leave the boots and saddle outside You could make her happy again Laugh about the time She threw the dinner at you And in the coconut grove You can imagine the scene Another bus unloads We're still waiting to leave Talk to her, that's nice Or you could make a murder begin Breathe on her, that's right Once more you will be her friend She's the only who knows Where you're from and where you've been And what remains unsaid Can leave you hanging in between I spent a lot of time in the transit lounge And I wasn't sure where I was going now The papers I read were all yesterday's news Not a hundred percent sure what I did with my shoes Lying on the floor of the transit lounge There'll be no announcements made Better make sure you don't sleep too sound There'll be no announcements made There'll be no announcements made And you can dream about the things You meant to do before you die Break him out, the one Who's waiting for his moment to shine All the stupid things I said Will haunt you, will linger I guess And in the coconut grove You can imagine the scene Another bus unloads We're still waiting to leave The camera flash goes off See the tallest man alive And Thai massage his feet Before his long plane ride |

Who'll face the tide
And take their chances? Will fasten the line To broken branches Adrift on the ocean in wild winter storms I have to imagine things to keep myself warm The night closing in, but not to worry Told everyone I know, that I was sorry And I heard them all singing For comfort and peace And in my confusion Yeah I still believe You are the one to make me cry You are the one to take me home Of all the people in my life My thoughts keep returning to you But consciousness is fading fast Surrounded by signs that go on living Make circles in time, a spidersweb spinning But I have no illusions of where I am now I'll let this wave take me and draw me down You are the one to make me cry You are the one to take me home Of all the stories in your life Only good things return to you If I could only say the word If you could hear me cry for help I lift my head up to the sky But the planes that were circling now have gone |

Sweet madness it must be wrong
What kind of fool imagines love With all this going on Stars burning in the empty sky And the city is a flame With a million lights And they come and they go In the blink of an eye People are like suns And they're burning up inside People are like suns Science will enable us to hear To be crystal clear To make diamonds in the shifting sand Better take all the love that you got in a single hand And they come and they go In the fullness of time People are like suns They are burning up inside People are like suns Breathing into life All that's good in us To saints become It can't be helped Doesn't stop me thinking out aloud I could've done something And they come and they go Yeah they come and they go People are like suns People are like suns They go out tonight Set this town alight All fade into white |
