There's things I want, There's things I think I want, There's things I have, There's things I wanna have, Do I want the dreams? The ones were forced to see? Do I want the perfect wife? The word perfect, ain't quite right Shopping every day, take it back the next break, They say the more you fly, The more you risk your life I'm just looking, I'm not buying, I'm just looking, Keeps me smiling A house I've seen, Another coulda' been, You drenched my head, And said what I said, You said that life is what you make of it, Yet most of us just fake I'm just looking, I'm not buying, I'm just looking, Keeps me smiling I'm just looking, I'm not buying, ooh, I'm just looking, Keeps me trying I'm just looking, I'm not buying, ooh, I'm just looking, Keeps me smiling There's things I want, There's things I think I want, There's things I have, There's things I wanna have, They say the more you fly, The more you risk your life Well I'm just looking, I'm not buying, I'm just looking, Keeps me smiling |

There's no mistake, I smell that smell It's that time of year again, I can taste the air The clocks go back, railway track Something blocks the line again And the train runs late for the first time A pebble beach, we're underneath, a pier that's just been painted red Where I heard the news for the first time And all the friends lay down the flowers Sit on the banks and drink for hours Talk of the way they saw him last Local boy in the photograph Today He'll always be 23, yet the train runs on and on Past the place they found his clothing There's no mistake, I smell that smell It's that time of year again, I can taste the air The clocks go back, railway track Something blocks the line again And the train runs late for the first time Today And all the friends lay down the flowers Sit on the banks and drink for hours Talk of the way they saw him last Local boy in the photograph Today He's gone away |

I’d just turned twenty six and she was twenty three
She wore a crucifix but never preached at me We’d stay up all the night until the day was dead I’d get the fear of God inside my broken head Wanna fly away And change my ways I’ll beat myself to death while she sits next to me I wanna free myself from all this misery I wanna taste the love but life’s against up me But I am my own worst enemy I try to get some sleep her arms are over me I’m staring at the walls they're closing in on me This sun bleeds through the blinds that washes over me Today’s the day I tell myself to set me free Wanna fly away And change my ways I’ll beat myself to death while she sits next to me I wanna free myself from all this misery I wanna taste the love but life’s against up me But I am my own worst enemy (Feel .. Wanna feel it .. wanna feel it .. wanna feel it ...) I wanna fly away And change my ways I’ll beat myself to death while she sits next to me I wanna free myself from all this misery I wanna taste the love but life’s against up me But I am my own worst enemy .. Worst enemy .. Worst enemy .. Worst enemy! |

You line them up, look at your shoes,
You hang names on your wall, then you shoot them all, You fly around in planes that bring you down, to meet me, Who loves you? like me crashing to the ground, Are you so lonely? you don't even know me, But you'd like to stone me, Mr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it is? Why don't you tell it like it really is? Before you go on home, I used to treat you right, give you my time, But when I turned my back on you, Then you do what you do, You've just enough, in my own view, education to perform, I'd like to shoot you all, And then you go home, with you on your own, What do you really know? Mr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it is? Why don't you tell it like it really is? Before you go on home, And then you go home, with you on your own, What do you even know? Mr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it is? Why don't you tell it like it really is? Before you go on home, Mr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it really is? Why don't you tell it like it always is? Before you go on home. Mr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it really is? Why don't you tell it like it always is? Before you go on home. |

Did we take in what's been said? Did we take the time to be, All the things we said we'd be? So we bury hopes in sand And my future's in my hands It means nothing It means nothing You can find yourself a God But you leave in which one you want Cause they love you all the same They just go by different names Did ya fly your flag today? Are you proud or just ashamed? It means nothing It means nothing It means nothing It means nothing It means nothing If I haven't got you If I haven't got you If I haven't got you If I haven't got you The sun sets in the sky You're the apple of my eye If the bomb goes off again Blows my brain around the train And I hope that I'm with you Cause I wouldn't know what to do It means nothing It means nothing It means nothing It means nothing It means nothing If I haven't got you If I haven't got you If I haven't got you If I haven't got you |

Standing at the bus stop with my shopping
in my hands when I'm overhearing elder ladies as the rumours start to fly you can hear them in the school yard scrap yard chip shop phone box in the pool hall at the shoe stall every corner turned around it started with a school girl who was running running home to her mam and dad told them she was playing in the change room of her local football side they said tell us again so she told them again they said tell us the truth they found it hard to believe cause he taught our steve he even trained me taught uncle john who's father of three but it only takes one tree to make a thousand matches only takes one match to burn a thousand trees you see it in the class room in the swimming pool where the matchstick men are made at the scouts hall at the football where the wise we trust are paid they all honour his name he did a lot for the game he got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates but now they are ripping them down stamping the ground picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge it takes one tree to make a thousand matches only takes one match to burn a thousand trees wake up and smell the rain shake up he's back to stay he hasn't been on a holiday his growing seeds don't believe why he's been away in the school yard change room playing fields bathroom phone box office blocks corner turned around they keep doubting the flame tossing the blame got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates but now they're ripping them down stamping the ground picture gathers dust in the bar in the lounge it takes one tree to make a thousand matches it only takes one match to burn A thousand trees |

We all face the same way
Still it takes all day I take a look to my left, pick out the worst and the best She paints her lip, greasy and thick Another mirror stare, and she's going where? Another office affair, to kill an unborn scare? You talk dirty to a priest?It makes them human at least But is she running away, to start a brand new day? Or is she going home? Why's she driving alone? Is anyone going anywhere? Everyone's gotta be somewhere She got a body in the boot, or just bags full of food? Those are model's legs, but are they women's are they men's? She shouts down the phone, missed a payment on the loan She gotta be above the rest, keeping up with the best Is anyone going anywhere? Everyone's gotta be somewhere Waits tables for a crook? Wrote a hardback book? You teach kids how to read? Or sell your body on the street? A nurse without a job? Another uptown snob? But have I got you all wrong? One look and you were gone Is anyone going anywhere? X 3 Everyone's gotta be somewhere |

It's your day It's never too late To change lanes How's your life? How's your place? Was it where you wanted Your head to lay? But wait, you can breathe You can see what I can see Don't waste your time You can't make back If you could rewind your time Would you change your life? Do you like you? Do you love your wife? Or did you pick what You're told was right? Dream and be What you feel Don't you compromise What you wanna be 'Cause change is okay What's the point in staying the same Regrets, forget what's dead and gone If you could rewind your time Would you change your life? If Jesus rode in on a camel today With your cross on his shoulder Time to take you away Have you done all you wanted? Are you happy and warm? Do you miss someone special You don't see anymore? Have you blood on your hands? Do you dream of white sands? Can you sleep well at night? Have you done all you can? The place I was born in Stays crooked and straight I see innocent blue eyes Go blind everyday Rewind your time Would you change your life Today? |

Thinking to myself again I'm round the bend I've been driving round Talking to myself again Not making no sense What makes you and What makes me What makes men lie Through their teeth And what makes ten-ton birds Fly me across the sea And who's to say, that if the sun went out today That all the movie stars would drive their cars away Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade What's going down? What's going around? I'm climbing the wall I'm just standing here Looking at myself again I'm going blind I'm just sitting here Playing with myself again It's turning me on So what makes you and what makes me What makes women lie through their teeth And what makes ten-ton ships Sail me across the sea And who's to say, that if the sun went out today That all the movie stars would drive their cars away Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade What's going down? What's going around? I'm climbing the wall So what makes you and what makes me What makes people lie through their teeth And what makes ten-ton trains Rail me under the sea And who's to say, that if the sun went out today That all the movie stars would drive their cars away Fallen angels from their pay cheques on parade What's going down? What's going around? I'm climbing the wall |

Remember when we were angels
Before we stole cars And when sex and drugs Lived up in another world... not a care in the world Hide and seek, kissing and running Till you were out of breath In the late night day sun Until you Mamma called you home... and you didn't wanna go Fly High Be my getaway Gotta getaway Fly High Be my getaway Gotta getaway Coppers, robbers, cowboys and Indians Hanging round the corner Of the street you lived How come it felt so far away... just a stone throw away Your best friend wasn't someone you worked with And money from your old man Would burn a hole in yer pocket all day... Not a single debt to pay Fly High Be my getaway Gotta getaway... |

I'm looking good, got my shoulders back, A few more drinks, I'm up to dance, I get the eye as I lift my glass, the first time in six months, She looks again I start to shake, My shoulders twitching, I'm on my way, I glance behind me for safety sake, To see a clock the size of a plane, The night is young more fish in the sea, Who's to say she wasn't looking at me? I sink my head back into my glass, Get into shape for that first dance, I turn away, I look to the south, I pull my foot from out of my mouth, To my surprise she's standing beside me Asking if I'd like to dance. I'm standing in a hall of smoke, Her tongues in my mouth, I'd love to choke, Her knight approaches us on foot, He left his side kick at the brook. He offered me a cigarette I said I'm far too young to smoke, So he tried to entertain me, Told me one more crappy... Joke in my ear, except the joke wasn't clear, Set the joking aside should I run? should I hide? Decided to stay, rub it straight in his face, What he thought was the case was an easy mistake. I'd just like to try some carrot cake and wine, Can't I try, taste my carrot cake and wine Looking good, not looking back, Knight of hers took her off to dance, I get the eye as I lift my glass, But not for the last time, She looks again, too drunk to shake, My legs are twitching, my eyes are fake, I glance behind me for safety sake To see my girlfriends tongue in the face of a friend, Who was far from a man, Should I hide? should I run? Must have seen what I've done, Decided to stay, looked her straight in the face, What I thought was the case was an easy mistake. I'd just like to try some carrot cake and wine, Can't I try, taste my carrot cake, Why can't I try? Why should I lie? Taste my, try some, buy my Carrot cake and wine |

Going down, la na na
Going down, la na na na na I used to buy my sweets and candy treats at Raymond's shop I used to pass there every day The time has come to buy a gun and hold up Raymond's shop Looks like I will be going away Going down, la na na Going down, la na na na na It's been two years my minds not clear I'll stop at Raymond's shop It's boarded up, he's gone away The words got out and there's no doubt it came from Raymond's shop Looks like our little boys will play Play away, away Play away, away It's turned about, it's back on you Your famous 15 times by 2 You ask around to find the truth And all the fingers point at you You're sick, you're low, my minds made up Your two years down, I'm back in luck I wouldn't save you if you drown I hope you like your time gone down |

I don′t know why I let you go You said you′d wait I said I′d hope you would We talked ′til late until we walked away What′s meant to be will be the same And I feel like stone Yes I feel ice cold I pick myself up from the ground Sick to death of lying down And now I have to find you once again You′ve in my soul You′ve in my mind But I don′t know where you are now You′ve in my soul You′ve in my mind But I don′t know where you are now Driving round and round until its dawn To look for you in rooms we used to go I held you back, I had to set you free But now I know what′s meant to be And I feel like stone Yes I feel ice cold I pick myself up from the ground Sick to death of lying down And now I have to find you once again You′ve in my soul You′ve in my mind But I don′t know where you are now You′ve in my soul You′ve in my mind But I don′t know where you are now You′ve in my soul You′ve in my mind But I don′t know where you are now You′ve in my soul You′ve in my mind But I don′t know where you are now |

to moonn6pence from shootingstar
The first time ever I saw your face, I thought the sun rose in your eyes. And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave, To the dark and the endless sky, my love. And the first time ever I kissed your mouth, I felt the earth move through my hands. Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command. And the first time ever I lay with you, I felt your heart so close to mine. And I know our joy would fill the earth, And last till the end of time, my love. The first time ever I saw your face |
