Bernard Butler

Rolling motor, lover sublime,
push me away if you feel so inclined.
you've got what it takes.
I'll be brother, I'll be guide,
I'll take you home when you wanna hide,
you've got what it takes,
You've got what it takes...
Clicking machinery, clicking tongues,
ever wondered "What have I done?"
you've got what it takes, but nodbody knows.
You confide in me at the end of your days,
how you wish you'd written a book or a play,
you had what it takes, you had what it takes.
You've got what it takes...
Don't you feel so helpless, don't you feel so low.
And when you catch me crying,
you'll probably be the first,
so don't let nobody else know.
You've got what it takes...

You don't need a system to fly a kite
You don't need pictures to know when it's high
And it doesn't matter who you know, know why
'Cause you'll feel it when you're mine

You don't need to narrow to show me a sign
You won't need a mirror, just look in my eyes
And no matter what you done and no matter why
You'll feel it when you're mine

You'll feel it when you're mine
You'll feel it when you're mine
You'll feel it when you're mine

You'll feel it when you're mine
You'll feel it when you're mine
You'll feel it when you're mine

You'll feel it when you're mine
When you're mine, when you're mine
When you're mine, when you're mine

You can't look back
But you can look on ahead
There's no sense of ease, no-one to please
But you carry on
You can't look so sad
You can't look down your nose
There's nothing to believe, no use in being
But you carry on

So cherish the days when we searched for caves
And paddled our feet in the midday heat
Your mother would scream if she heard you'd been
Well it's just as well we carried on and on and..........

This can't look so bad
Just 'cos you're on your own again
You're losing sleep, you don't know how to breathe
But you carry on
You can't look back
You can look on ahead
There's nothing to believe, all you do is weep
But you carry on

So cherish the days when we searched for caves
And paddled our feet out on the heath
My mother would scream if she heard you'd been
Well it's just as well we carried on and on and..........

On and on..........

you light the fire
and I'll bring home a smile,
and we'll probably be OK.
Yesterday was fine
but tomorrow you'll be mine,
and then every day will stay the same.
How long until you discover,
that the man you broke won't decay?
How long until you recover,
all the memories you threw away?


Take the car and drive
as far as possible tonight,
and promise me you'll stay away.
For you'll be wanting more
than the love you never saw,
and the motherhood you cast aside in haste.
How long until you discover,
all the lives you broke along the way?
How long until you recover,
and the man you broke walks away?


So you light me fire
and I'll bring home a smile,
and we'll probably be OK

Do you believe in every breath I ever take?
Do you believe that I know every move I make?
You can't keep crying over chances I must take.

Love I don't care if my feet are in the air,
and there's one thing I will share - you just know.
Lover I don't care if my feet are in the air,
'cos there's one thing I will share - you just know,
yeah you just know.

Do you know just how many hands I've had to shake?
Do you think I know every place I've ever played?
Well I know you worry but this is it I'm afraid.

Lover I don't care if my feet are in the air,
and there's one thing I will share - you just know.
Lover I don't care 'cos my hands are in the air,
and there's one thing I will share - you just know,
yeah you just know,
you just know.

oh you might have conversation smashed in a bar
clocking all of the disco dolls that blind you
oh check out some mad situation some silly farce
so real you can feel it twist inside you

everywhere you go
every thing you do
every place you know
every word you choose

im in everybodys eyes
everybodys lives
im in everything you see
you belong to me

oh you might walk down by the station
through garbage and rust
breathing all the diseases just like i do
driving through some conurbation youll step on the gas
and ill be sat right there beside you

cos everywhere you go
every thing you do
every place you know
every word you choose

im in everybodys eyes
everybodys lives
im in everything you see
you belong to me

well you can smash the windows
and break some faces
or spray graffiti on public places
or hang around some dead town but ill be there

everywhere you go
every thing you do
every place you know
every word you choose

im in everybodys eyes
everybodys lives
im in everything you see
you belong to me

Well I feel so alive, got no reason to hide,
there ain't any woman I know,
that's got me so high.
I got things on my mind
that will reach you in time,
there ain't any woman I know,
that's got me so high.


And though she really lied,
yes though she really lied
there ain't any woman I know
that's got me so high.
And though we really tried,
yes though we really tried
there ain't an emotion I know
so low, so low
Got a reason to stay
she's taken the pain from yesterday
got a reason to stay
she's got no rhythm, she says,
she's got no rhythm, she says.


Got a reason to stay
she's taken the pain from yesterday
got a reason to stay
she's got no rhythm, she says,
she's got no rhythm, she says
So I feel so alive
got no reason to hide
but there ain't an emotion I know
so low
so low

Whipsnade


We are only young,
But we style our future with a cattle gun
And we aren't idle rich,
So we smile for tomorrow with a bitch of an itch

Cause when the firelight shocks like a cop shop pyre
We'll sack the politics for premonition and fire
And we'll move like nureyev that night

Coast to coast, side to side
Shines the lies of fine enlightened minds
Coast to coast

We are only young
But we style our future in the shadow of guns
And we are not idle rich
So we smile for tomorrow with a bitch of an itch

Cause when the stylised kick of the filmstar whip
Cracks down on the millions,
Cracks the kids on their hips
Then we'll move like nuryev that night

'Cos coast to coast, side to side
Shines the lies of fine enlightened minds
Coast to coast, side to side

Feel the steel that shines outside the blinds
Coast to coast, side to side
Blades engraved with babies' names
While pylons hide the suicide
Coast to coast, side to side
Shines the light of fine enlightened minds

Coast to coast, side to side
Feel the steel that shines outside the blinds
Coast to coast, side to side
Blades engraved with babies' names
While pylons hide the suicides

Out in the sticks, out in the stickiness
They're chasing round in stolen ice cream vans
They're sparking up with someone, oh
They're covering up their jumpers in roses, oh

Where pigs don't fly, oh

Out over there, out in the sticky wire fire,
Your royal stickiness your highness
I've heard there's someone saying "I do"
And banging at the old piano tune

Where the pigs don't fly, I do
Where the pigs don't fly, I do

I do...

When car lights flash in your face,
your kind heart will give you away.
Don't keep us apart, don't lead us astray,
don't leave it too late.
When darkness keeps you awake,
and demons lead you astray,
don't keep us apart, don't leave it too late,
don't you take this away.
And when you grow, I'll give you away,
I'll lead you my way,
I'll shield you from pain.
And when you're low,
I'll see that you're safe,
I'll shield you from pain.
When God's love gets in your way,
remember child how you were made.
Don't keep us apart, don't lead us astray,
don't you leave it too late.
And behind this explanation
lies the sweetest inspiration
it won't keep us apart,
it won't lead us astray,
I'll keep the demons at bay.
And when you grow, I'll give you a way,
I'll lead you my way,
I'll shield you from pain.
And when you're low,
I'll see that you're safe,
I'll shield you from pain.


And when you grow, I'll give you away,
I'll lead you my way,
I'll shield you from pain.
And when you're low,
I'll see that you're safe,
I'll shield you from pain.
And when you grow, I'll give you a way,
I'll lead you my way,
I'll shield you from pain.
Then when you love
I'll see that you're safe,
I'll shield you from pain.

Come out tonight in the puddles
splash some love across the sky
Just you and I bursting bubbles
As the sky is about to cry
When the rain falls
There's a magic in our lives
When the rain falls
We're happy deep inside
When the rain falls
It cleans away the
corners of our minds

When all the world
looks like Atlantis
And car sit
rusting in the drives
Just step outside and hit the
concrete pavement
When the rain falls
down for you and I
When the rain falls
The pretty people run
When the rain falls
The colours cloud the sun
When the rain falls
We'll sit and watch
the children hurry home

Rain falls
Rain falls
Rain falls

And when everything is blue or
green or green or blue or grey
I cross the street to
catch the beat of my heart
And I watch it all
cos there's nothing to do today
And I watch it all fall so hard

Hoping I don't make somebody cry
Hoping not to live too many lies
I gave her what I could
But she didn't notice what happened to me
Hoping I remember what I wanna say
Hoping that religion doesn't get in my way
I gave her everything
But she didn't notice what happened to me

She'll have to wait a long time
To comfort me

She took me to the station where she cried
She told me that my instincts were run dry
I told her everything was going to be alright
If she comforted me

She'll have to wait a long time
To comfort me

So I sing this to myself now she's not around
I sing it where and whenever I may be bound
It makes me feel so good
Just to hear the sound that comforts me

I don't want to go to heaven
I just want to go when I go
And if you miss me there
And the cloths of heaven tear around you

Then the river that ebbed through me
Will flow through you
And you will see
That you and I and us made the best trinity

But don't let it break your resolve
The earth still revolves; it's turning for you
And as the aisles fill again
Close your eyes and count to ten and remember

It's not the weight of the world on your shoulders
It's just the weight of your head

So, I don't want to go to heaven
I just want to go when I go
And if you miss me there
Let the cloths of heaven tear around...

Well the church bells are calling
Police cars on fire
And as they call you to the eye of the storm
All the people say "Stay at home tonight"

*I say we are the pigs,
we are the swine
We are the stars of the firing line

And as the smack cracks at your window
You wake up with a gun in your mouth
Oh let the nuclear wind blow away my sins
And I'll stay at home in my house

*Repeat

But deceit can't save you so

We will watch them burn

Well the church bells are calling
Police cars on fire
And as they call you to the eye of the storm
All the people say "Stay at home tonight"

I say we are the pigs, we are the swine
We are the stars of the firing line

And as the smack cracks at your window
You wake up with a gun in your mouth
Oh let the nuclear wind blow away my sins
And I'll stay at home in my house

I say, we are the pigs
we are the swine
we are the stars of the firing line

But deceit can't save you so

We will watch them burn

will you be my lover?
will you be the one?
will you be like no other
for how long?

oh yes i'll be your wild flower
grown through the concrete
and born to the backbeat of the stars

and yes i'm just a stupid guy
crushed like a butterfly
dead-eyed at the drive-by
in a car

and like flies on a windscreen
and like insects in glue
we could stick together
if you wanted to

and yes i'll be your wild flower
grown through the concrete streets
and born to the backbeat of the stars

Mmm..Yes, i'm just a stupid guy
crushed like a butterfly
dead-eyed at the drive-by
in a car

yeah just a stupid guy
crushed like a butterfly
dead-eyed at the drive-by
in a car

This country looks like one big car park
The winters are so very long
And everybody wonders where the light has gone
And Europe has its moving state lines
But Africa has winter sun
And you and me we're just two creatures on the run
And we'll go where the crowds don't stare
And no one laughs at what we wear
The phone might ring
The rain might sting oh but we don't care
We'll fly over the endless ocean
We're heading for the winter sun
'Cause you and me we're just two creatures on the run


And Europe has its moving state lines
But Africa has winter sunshine
And you and me we're just two creatures on the run
And we'll go where the crowds don't stare
And no one hates us for our hair
The phone might ring
The rain might sting oh but we don't care


We'll fly over the endless ocean
We're heading for the winter sun
'Cause you and me we're just two creatures on the run
America's our supermarket
In India we'll take some stopping
'Cause you and me we're just two creatures on the run
In Asia we can mend our breakdown
'Cause you and me we must escape now
And you and me we're just two creatures on the run
You and me we're just two creatures on the run
You and me we're just two creatures on the run
You and me we're just two creatures on the run

Gee, but it's hard
When one lowers one's guard
to the vultures
Now, me I regard it
A torturous hardship
that smoulders
Like a peppermint eaten away
Will I fight? Will I swagger, or sway?

Tee hee, milady
She cries like a baby Scold us
See her tumbling down
See her tumbling down

Heil to the monkey
We're having a funky reunion
Wasted and sunk
he can only have Sunday communion
He's got nicotine stains in his eyes
He's got nothing to protect but his pride
Oh smothered a kiss
Or be drowned in blissful confusion

See her tumbling down
See her tumbling down

Maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Maybe it's our kookiness
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds
Maybe it's our looseness

But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do...

Maybe, maybe it's the things we say
The words we've heard and the music we play
Maybe it's our cheapness
Or maybe, maybe it's the times we've had
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads
Maybe it's our sweetness

But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the street
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do

Maybe, maybe it`s the clothes we wear,
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair,
Maybe it`s our kookiness,
Or maybe, maybe it`s our nowhere towns,
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds,
Maybe it`s our looseness,
But we are trash, you and me,
We`re the litter on the breeze,
We`re the lovers on the streets,
Just trash, me and you,
It`s in everything we do,
It`s in everything we do
Maybe, maybe it`s the things we say,
The words we`ve heard and the music we play,
Maybe it`s our cheapness,
Or maybe, maybe it`s the times we`ve had,
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads,
Maybe it`s our sweetness,
But we`re trash, you and me,
We`re the litter on the breeze,
We`re the lovers on the street,
Just trash, me and you,
It`s in everything we do,
It`s in everything we do
instrumental break
But we`re trash, you and me,
We`re the lovers on the street,
We`re the litter on the breeze
Just trash, me and you,
It`s in everything we do,
It`s in everything we do
ah you and me,
We`re the lovers on the streets,
We`re the litter on the breeze,
ah you and me,
It`s in everything we do,
It`s in everything we do.......
ah you and me...

To The Birds


Don't take your life, 'cos your bicycle won't fly
You could be going to heaven tonight
Don't spoil the show for the love of some albino
You won't be going to heaven alone

I see her by the window waiting every night
So I wouldn't give a shit if my bicycle's in bits
I think I'm going to heaven on it

I see her by the window pour the poison for you
I'll go there through the window in my sixteen-hole boots
And I'll sing to the birds here at my side
And I'll sing to the birds who will save my life

Don't take your life 'cos your bicycle won't fly
You could be going to heaven tonight
And I wouldn't give a shit if your bicycle's in bits
I think I'm going to heaven on it

I see her by the window, and I see there's a day
We'll walk out through the traffic
And pour the poison away
So I'll sing to the birds here at my side
And I'll sing to the birds who will save my life

I will lie down for her

hold on, he's coming
through the wheels of the star machine
hold on, he's coming
through the tears of your shit stained dream

in an anthem for the world
let him waltz you down the river
let him feel like boy or girl
with his sci-fi lullaby
let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow
yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
so let's have one, for the lovers
and one more, for the friends
'cos drink to you is all i can do
as life slips down, down the drain

hold on, he's coming
with the screen kissed spine of the past
hold on, he's coming
with the style of the wormwood star

sing an anthem for the world
sing a farewell for the river

She-rocker you're wasting your time,
Cos you're only a girl"
She'rocker sacked the factory
line for a chance of a dance in a surreal world

She said, "come rescue, rescue me
from this Hollywood life
come rescue, rescue me
from this Hollywood life"

She'rocker hear the audience scream
for the death of the king
But a hand-job is all the butchery brings
Cos fame ain't as easy as him (how sad)

Oh, come rescue, rescue me
from this Hollywood life
come rescue, rescue me from
this Hollywood life

Come take this Hollywood life

These Are The Sad Songs


Lay Lady Lay and Band of Gold
A Day in the Life, And Dream of Sheep
Seasong and Vincent and Death Disco
Listen to the music in your sleep

These are the sad songs, the broken words
These are the sad songs, the lies you've heard
These are the good times you keep inside
These are the good things that you can have if you try

Venus in Furs and An Occasional Dream
Sign o the Times and Bill is Dead
And Lazyitis and Big Louise
Listen to the music in your head

These are the sad songs, the broken words
These are the sad songs, the lies you've heard
These are the good times you keep inside
These are the good things that you can have if you try

There's a song playing on the radio
Sky high in the airwaves on the morning show
And there's a lifeline slipping as the record plays
And as I open the blinds in my mind
I'm believing that you could stay

* And oh if you stay
I'll chase the rainblown fields away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun
Oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones, running with the dogs today

There's a song playing through another wall
All we see and believe is the D.J. and debts dissolve
And it's a shame the plane is leaving on this sunny day
Cos on you my tattoo
will be bleeding and the name will stain

But oh if you stay
we'll ride from disguised suburban graves
We'll go from the bungalows
where the debts still grow every day

*Repeat

We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today

Through endless Asia,
through the fields of Cathay
or enslaved in pebble-dash
grave with a kid on the way
If you're far over Africa
on the wings of youth
or if you're down in some satellite town
and there's nothing you can do

Just give me, give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed
Give me, give me the power
(Although I'm just the common breed)

You might live in a screen kiss,
it's a glamorous dream
Or belong to a world that's gone,
it's the English disease

But give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed

Give, give me, give me the power
(Although I'm just the common breed)

See you in your next life
when we'll fly away for good
Stars in our own car
we can drive away from here
Far away so far away
down to Worthing
and work there
Far away we'll go far away
and flog ice creams
'til the company's on its knees

See you in your next life

Where's all the money gone?--
I'm talking to you,
All up the hole in your arm,
Is the needle a much better screw?
But oh, what will you do alone?
'Cos I have to go.

Where is this life of fun that you promised me?
Nothing here works but your works and I mean it
I have to leave
But oh, what will you do alone?
'Cos I have to go.

If I was the wife of an acrobat would I look like the living dead, boy?
You're on the wire and can't get back, let's talk about the living dead

I know where the money's gone--
I know what you do
'Cos I've seen the hole in your arm and
The needle's a much better screw

Could have had a car, could have had it all,
Could have walked in the sky but we stare at the wall.

I know where the money's gone--
I know what you do
'Cos I've seen the hole in your arm and
The needle's a much better screw
But oh, what will you do alone?
'Cos I have to go.

I threw out the photographs
Like yesterdays flowers
I tried to erase the past
But it won't go away
And those where the curtains
That you had made
One thing's for certain
The ghost of you stays
I painted the second room
And cleared out the basement
And smelled some of your perfume
On the scarf that you made
The Salvation Army collected your things
I gave them the jewellery, all the bracelets and rings
Your clothes in black bin bags I gave them away
I tried to move on but the ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays


I threw out the photographs
Like yesterdays flowers
I tried to erase the past
But it won't go away
I wake in the morning
And try to be brave
But it's hard to move on
When the ghost of you stays


It's hard to move on
When the ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays

I watch the slow hand
Kill the day
I see my starring mode
Take away
I watch the skyline for him to come
And when he comes alone
We`ll be gone.
And we`ll go into the city
Into the light
We`ll be there in the headlines
Care of the night
Cause this is the big time
This is the way
Now he`s in the big time
He`ll show you the way
This is the big time
This is the way
Now he`s in the big time
And you`re in the way
...

When I hear the men outside my window kicking down my door
All the megaphones are screaming letters of the lord
Would you walk in through the gate and visit me?
Would you please?, in the asylum


When they're counting out the chemicals
and doing daily tasks
Giving out presciption drugs and putting on their masks
Would you wander through the ground to visit me?
As they opened up the gates and turned the key
Would you please?, in the asylum


If they burn my brain away would you understand?
If they try to hold me down would you hold my hand?
Could you stand?, stand the asylum


In the asylum
In the asylum
In the asylum

I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She comes to me and I supply her with Ecstasy
Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city
Like big stars in the back seat like
skeletons ever so pretty
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world

But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in time-honoured fur?
Is it me or her?

I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She's got a friend, they share mascara I pretend
Sometimes they fly from the covers
to the winter of the river
For these silent stars of the cinema
It's in the blood stream, it's in the liver
I know a girl, she walks the arse felt world

But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in time-honoured fur?
Is it me or is it her?

With ice in her blood
And a Dove in her head
Well how does she feel when she's in your bed?
When you're there in her arms
And there in her legs
Well I'll be in her head

Cos that's where I go
And that's what I do
And that's how it feels when the sex turns cruel
Yes both of us need her, this is the asphalt world

I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She comes to me and I supply her with Ecstasy

Lying in my bed, I think of you
That song goes through my head,
the one we both knew
In each line lies another
line full of sacred sound
But you're outside where the
companies dream and the money goes round

Lying in my bed.
Watching my mistakes,
I listen to the band
they said that it could be the 2 of us

The snow might fall
and write the lines on the silent page
But you're outside
making permanent love to the nuclear age
Two silhouettes by
the cash machine make a lovers dance
It's a tango for
the lonely wives of the business class

Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
Lying in my bed
With nothing much to say so I listen to the man
He said that it could be the 2 of us

I heard you call from across
the city through the stereo sound
And so I crawled there sickeningly pretty as
the money went round

Lying in my head watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
And the drums beat in my head
Pianos chime the sound in this prison of the house
And as the illness comes again
can you hear me through the rain
As I listen to the band?
As I sing the silent song
Mime each lonely word
Please listen to the man he said
that it could be the 2 of us

Alone but not lonely, you and me
Alone but loaded

Lying in my bed, I think of you
That song goes through my head,
the one we both knew
In each line lies another line
full of sacred sound
But you're outside where the
companies dream
and the money goes round
Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes,
I listen to the band they said
that it could be the 2 of us
The snow might fall and write
the lines on the silent page

Street life,
into the night with the syncopated melody
Street life, look like a brat,
she's got the lips from a magazine
Cheap sound comes from underground coming to ?
Street life, it's so right you get
your dips from a popular sound
It's the beat of a concrete street
that you'll love for a million years
It's the sound that comes from the underground,
It's got you clapping, got you shaking, you grease
Street life!
Street life,
step to the mine with your sexual equality
Street life, look like a brat,
she's got the lips from a magazine
Cheap sound comes from underground,
it's like a pace drum kicking along
Street life, sweet light ? going on and on
To the beat of a concrete street,
she can live for a million years
A drum sound that comes from the underground
it's got you clapping, Got you shaking, you grease
Street life !
is All you know is all you see
is all you follow is all you believe

Move your feet to the concrete beat
then you can live for a million years
To the sound that comes from underground
it's got you clapping, Got you shaking, you grease
Street life ! Street life?

Treading down the street
I've got the vibe in my feet
I'm feeling angry (angry)
Thoughts of what you said
Are spinning round in head
I'm feeling confused (confused)
I'm lovin' life right now
But you're dragging me down
I don't know what to do
But say it to you

Chorus

Stop
Just what you're doin' to me
You drive me mad
Oh baby, why don't you see
That I'm sad
You spin me round
And you make me dizzy

Sitting with my friends
I wait by the phone
I'm gonna give you (give you)
A piece of my mind
Cause ?it's not my type?
Someone told you (told you)
You're actin like a child
And its drivin me wild
I don't know what to do
But say it to you

Chorus

Stop
Just what you're doin' to me
You drive me mad
Oh baby, why don't you see
That I'm sad
You spin me round
And you make me dizzy

Stop
Just what you're doin' to me
You drive me mad
Oh baby, why don't you see
That I'm sad
You spin me round
And you make me dizzy

You better stop
You better stop
You better stop
Boy
You better stop

This still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly killed for you
In the glass house my insect life
Crawling the walls under electric lights

I'll go into the night, into the night
She and I into the night

Is this still life all I'm good for too?
There by the window quietly killed for you
And they drive by like insects do
They think they don't know me
They hired a car for you

To go into the night, into the night
She and I into the night

And this still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly killed for you
And this still life is all I ever do
But it's still, still life
But it's still, still life
But it's still, still life

This still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly
killed for you
In the glass house my insect life
Crawling the walls under
electric lights
I'll go into the night
into the night
She and I into the night
Is this still life all
I'm good for too
There by the window
quietly killed for you
And they drive by like insects do
They think they don't know me
They hired a car for you
To go into the night
into the night
She and I into the night
And this still life is
all I ever do
There by the window
quietly killed for you
And this still life is all
I ever do
But it's still still life
But it's still still life
But it's still still life

This still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly
killed for you
In the glass house my insect life
Crawling the walls under
electric lights
I'll go into the night
into the night
She and I into the night
Is this still life all
I'm good for too
There by the window
quietly killed for you
And they drive by like insects do
They think they don't know me
They hired a car for you
To go into the night
into the night
She and I into the night
And this still life is
all I ever do
There by the window
quietly killed for you
And this still life is all
I ever do
But it's still still life
But it's still still life
But it's still still life

Come to my house tonight
We can be together in the nuclear sky
And we will dance in the poison rain
And we can stay a while in Heaven today

Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
Let's die together?
Two hearts under the skyscrapers

There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in paradise
Or have you come to catch me?

Come to my arms tonight
Just you and me together under electric light
And she will dance in the poisoned den
Just you and me forever by the motorway there

Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
And we can stay together
Two hearts under the skyscrapers

There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in Paradise
Or have you come to catch me?

Come to my arms I'm lost
Just you and me together in the year of the horse
Single file in the nuclear night
And we could feel a little closer
As we tumble through the sky

Let's stay together, let's stay these days are ours
Let's stay together
Two hearts under a skyscraper
Let's stay together, let's stay in this broken down love
Let's stay together, two hearts under the skyscrapers

Come to my house tonight
We can be together in the nuclear sky
And we will dance in the poison rain
And we can stay a while in Heaven today

Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
Let's die together?
Two hearts under the skyscrapers

There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in paradise
Or have you come to catch me?

Come to my arms tonight
Just you and me together under electric light
And she will dance in the poisoned den
Just you and me forever by the motorway there

Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
And we can stay together
Two hearts under the skyscrapers

There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in Paradise
Or have you come to catch me?

Come to my arms I'm lost
Just you and me together in the year of the horse
Single file in the nuclear night
And we could feel a little closer
As we tumble through the sky

Let's stay together, let's stay these days are ours
Let's stay together
Two hearts under a skyscraper
Let's stay together, let's stay in this broken down love
Let's stay together, two hearts under the skyscrapers

Come to my house tonight

Let's stay together, two hearts under the skyscrapers

These days are wasting away
the kind that I'd rather save
Don't go stay
I hope it don't rain
the sky is laughing again
Don't go stay this time
Don't go just stay this time
I know I've gotta move with the times
for you to be mine
I tried to believe what you say
that you won't change if you just stay
Don't go stay this time
Don't go just stay this time
And you remember that fears on your side
good people are gonna keep you alive
And you remember the tears in my eyes
when all the things you do blow your mind
Don't go stay this time
Don't go just stay this time
Stay Stay
Don't go stay

These days are wasting away
the kind that I'd rather save.
Don't go- stay. Dont go-stay.
I hope it dont rain
the sky is laughing again.

Don't go-stay this time
Don't go-just stay this time.

I know I've gotta move with the times
for you to be mine, for you to be mine.
I tried to believe what you say
that you wont change if you just stay.

Don't go-stay this time
Don't go-just stay this time.

And you remember that fears on your side-
good people are gonna keep you alive.
And you remember the tears in my eyes
when all the things you do blow your mind.

Dont go-stay this time
Dont go-just stay this time.
Stay
Don't go
Stay

If I'd known you were cheating me,
I would have saved myself and set you free.
If I learned you weren't the loving kind,
I would have saved some peace of mind.

My friends told me you would break my heart,
And never last, we would surely part.

There's no smoke without fire,
Baby, baby you're a liar.

People talk in this little town,
Rumours keep spreading all around.
And now word has it you've been foolin' me,
I'm so blind that I cannnot see.

My friends told me never to believe in you,
You never loved me you were never true.

There's no smoke without fire,
Baby, baby you're a liar.

No there's no smoke without fire.
Baby, baby you're a liar.
You're a liar
You're a liar
You're a liar
Baby you're a liar.

There's no light without a flame,
There's no use in having you to blame.

No
There's no smoke without fire.
Baby, baby you're a liar.
You're a liar

Don't hold your pain
In the cracks in your face
Remember those lines will reflect your whole life
You don't look the same when your heart is tame

What's in your hand?
Tell me what's in your hand?

Spare a thought for something I've been taught
You won't get far keeping me awake
So smile
Just smile

And then sing this song
Without a care anywhere
I will care for you in every way
I will share every day

Stoned despair
Just leaves our minds unaware
Until we sing this song
Without a care anywhere
I will care for your in every way
I will share every day
You're too smart for me to take

Just don't despair, sugar, land is near
Could we walk for miles without the faintest smile?
Just smile
Smile!

You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
Pumped up with Valium, could you get me some?
You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
With sweet F.A. to do today, with sweet F.A. to do today...
당신은 물과도 같아요, 나는 대기와도 같아요.
진정제에 붕 떠버렸네요, 내게도 주었던가요?
당신은 물과도 같아요, 나는 대기와도 같죠.
오늘 달콤한 F.A.와 함께 하고 있어요... <-...-_-;a

...Angel, don't take those sleeping pills.
...천사, 수면제를 먹지 말아요...

Angel, don't take those sleeping pills, you don't need them
Though it's just time they kill,
Angel, give me your sleeping pills, you don't need them
Give me the time they kill,
천사(같은 이), 수면제를 먹지 말아요, 당신에겐 필요치 않아요
그들을 죽일 시간이라고 해도 말이죠...
천사, 당신의 수면제를 주세요, 당신에겐 필요치 않아요
내게 저들을 죽일 시간을 주세요...

You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
Gone gone to Valium, can you get me some?
You're a water sign, and I'm an air sign
Too Siamese to catch the leaves from those trees
당신은 물과도 같아요, 나는 대기와도 같아요.
진정제에 취해 있네요, 내게도 조금 주겠어요?
당신은 물과도 같고, 난 대기와도 같아요.
너무 달라붙어 있어서 저 나무들의 이파리들을 잡을 수는 없겠네요.

Angel, don't take those sleeping pills, you don't need them
Though it's just time they kill,
천사, 수면제를 먹지 마세요, 당신에겐 필요치 않아요

She's the face on the radio

She's there shaking it

And she's the

And she's as similar

She'll come to her end locked in a car somewhere
with exhaust in her hair
What's she called? I dunno,
she's fucking with a slip of a man while the engine ran

And he said She's not dead,
she's gone away, gone away he said
He said She's not dead, just go away, go away he said

In the car he couldn't afford they found his made up name
on her ankle chain
So don't call, don't call her at home,
she's fucking with a slip of a man while the engine ran

And he said She's not dead,
she's gone away, gone away he said
He said She's not dead,
she's gone away, gone away he said
Just gone away, gone away he said
She's gone away to someone else's bed

she'll come to her end locked in a car somewhere with exhaust in her hair
What's she called? I dunno, she's fucking with a slip of a man while the engine ran

And he said "She's not dead, she's gone away, gone away" he said
He said "She's not dead, just go away go away" he said

In the car he couldn't afford they found his made up name on her ankle chain
so don't call, don't call her at home
she's fucking with a slip of a man while the engine ran

Maybe maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets
and the dye in our hair
Maybe it's our kookiness
Or maybe maybe
it's our nowhere towns
Our nothing places and our
cellophane sounds
Maybe it's our looseness
But we're trash you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do
Or Maybe maybe
it's the things we say
The words we've heard
and the music we play
Maybe it's our cheapness
Or maybe maybe
it's the times we've had
The lazy days and the crazes
and the fads
Maybe it's our sweetness
But we're trash you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do

We're trash you and me
We're the lovers on the streets
We're the litter on the breeze
Just trash me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do
We're trash you and me
We're the lovers on the streets
We're the litter on the breeze
Just trash me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do

I always wanted to see
What colour's your destiny
I always wanted to know
That we'll grow

Serious
Serious

I'm a trophy on your arm
You wear me like a charm, yes you do
An accessory that suits
Your new swede boots

I get a feeling deep down inside
Something just ain't right
I get a feeling that tells me I know
Baby, you never show
How you really feel for me
Tell me can we ever be...

Serious
Serious in love

A joke on my expense
In front of all your friends, all the time
A game you like to play leaves me so low
Every day

I get a feeling deep down inside
Something just ain't right
I get a feeling that tells me I know
Baby, you never show
How you really feel for me
Tell me can we ever be...

Serious
Serious in love
(Serious) Ooh, yeah
Serious in love

I get a feeling deep down inside
That something just ain't right
I get a feeling that tells me I know
Baby, you never show

How you really feel for me
Tell me can we ever be...
Tell me...

Serious
Serious in love
(Serious) Ooh
(Serious) Serious in love, oh

(Serious) Serious in love
(Serious) Serious in love

Today she's been working, she's been talking,
she's been smoking, but it'll be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go dancing, we'll go laughing,
we'll get car sick, and it'll be okay like everyone says,
it'll be alright and ever so nice,
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight.
Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright.
Today she's been sat there, sat there in a black chair,
office furniture, but it'll be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go drinking we'll do silly things,
and never let the winter in,
And it'll be okay like everyone says,
it'll be alright and ever so nice,
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight.
Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright.
We'll go to freak shows and peep shows,
We'll go to discos, casinos,
We'll go where people go and let go
Oh whatever makes her happy

I′d move to Rockferry,
Tomorrow
And I′d build my house, baby
With sorrow

I′d leave my shadow,
To fall behind
And I wouldn′t write to you
′cos I′m not that kind

The midnight trains are boarding
All wrap up 8s
I pich my load and i fill my truck
before its too late

I leave the stars to judge
my every move
I′m not going to think of you, oh
I′d get the blues

Theres no sleep on the journey
away from time
A bag of songs and a heavy heart
won′t make me down

i′ll give it all my strength and my mind
i′ll make this decision with or without

I′d move to Rockferry,
Tomorrow
And I′d build my house, baby
With sorrow

I′d leave my shadow,
To fall behind
And i wouldn′t write to you
′cos i′m not that kind
not that kind

Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind
Rockferry, not that kind

You are the dust and,
I am the rain,
Let's go out in the rust and
Let's gather the change
Let's take to the streets
You and I we're life's refugees
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
You stain the pavements
I'll take the blame
Our love is our saviour
Our life is our grave
Let's take to the streets
You and I we're life's refugees
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
cause we're all refugees
And we're all drifting like leaves
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
We'll live for the sunshine
And smile through the rain


And we're all refugees
And we're all drifting like leaves
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
So let's take to the streets
You and I compete with the freaks
And like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
Well there's nothing between us
Well there's nothing between us

Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective

It's been a long
And uphill journey
Getting
To where i am today
It's been real tough
And I'm still learning
That workin' hard's
The only way

For happiness
In this life
Success and things
Must sacrifice
For success
With your desires
You just gotta aim high
You gotta
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective
You gotta
Put it in perspective
(Yes, you do)
Put it in perspective

The road
I had me
Was so winding
Reaching
Where I had to go
It wasn't easy
For me finding
It's not what you are
But who you know
But for happiness
In this life
Success and things
Must sacrifice
For success
With your desires
You just gotta aim high
You gotta
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective
You gotta
Put it in perspective
(Yes, you do)
Put it in perspective

Oh, bend your minds
And you will surely see
That everyday
There's a new opportunity
Oh
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective
(Put it in perspective)
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective

You gotta
Put it in perspective
You gotta
Put it in perspective
(Put it in perspective)
You gotta
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective
(Put it in perspective)

Don't hold me to these words
Cos to you they could mean anything
But to me they are my everything
I need to spin the world

Don't hold me to these words
Cos they'll hurt you more than melodies
But to me they're more than empathy
I cling to every verse

Don't drive along these roads
Cos they'll take you to a precious glade
Where troubled minds release their pain
And never tell a soul

Don't hold me in your arms
Cos I needed that more yesterday
But I need you now and I'll not complain
Just don't read every word

If you feel the same
You should let it all out now
And if you feel the same
Then you should let me know right now

Inside I'm open
I just never learnt how to get it all out
Inside I'm all hope
I just never learnt how to get it all out

You say what you want to say
Your diamonds are drops of rain
Your smile is your credit card
And your currency is your love
And the morning is for you
And the air is free
And the birds sing for you
And your positivity
Watch out
So you play where you want to play
On the main streets where the creeps all prey
And you can sill Iike your ( )
And you can be what you want to be
And the morning is for you
And the air is free
And the birds sing for you
And your positivity

And the cars crash for you
And the sunshine is free
And the sirens call you
Yes the morning is for you
Yes the air is free
And yes the world spins for you
And your positivity
Positivity

with eyes of blue
and eyes of green
and eyes that watch
the drum machine

and eyes of green
and eyes of blue
a thousand eyes
stare back at you

they watch the sky
they watch the sun
they watch them all
they're having fun

with eyes of blue
and eyes of green
and eyes that watch
the drum machine

we like the light that shines from you
we like the things you say you do
we like the people that you are
cos you're a popular star

with eyes of gold
and eyes of brown
and eyes that watch
the world go round

they see the girls
they see the cars
they see the world
they go too far

we like the light that shines from you
we like the things you say you do
we like the people that you are
cos you're the popular star

with eyes of blue
and eyes of green
and eyes that watch
the drum machine

with eyes on me
and eyes on you
with eyes of green
that once were blue

in the corner of your mind
there's a place you go to hide
where the lonely years reside
there's a secret life for sale
watch the world inside your brain
where the people come to say

take the pieces of your life
send the message to the sky
mend the pieces of your mind
take a look inside of you
tell me what to say and do
mend the pieces of your mind

in the corner of your head
where the world sits back instead
and the pieces that you'll send
there's a light that sights unseen
watch the world in slide machines
in the corner of your dream

take the pieces of your life
send the message to the sky
mend the pieces of your mind
take a look inside of you
tell me what to say and do
mend the pieces of your mind

let the music play again
let the songs all stay the same
mend the pieces of your mind
take the pieces of your life
send the message to the sky
mend the pieces of your mind

Go play safe, fly low.
for the sake of all you have known.
Throw your staff down
from the citadel and run away.
He won't laugh at what you said
he's got a princess to impress.
Got no boat, plane or place to go
just the rain.
And people move on, move along,
people move on...
move along


There's a man that follows me
down the street,
holding roses for all the girls he meets.
And his hair curls down to his feet
he gives me the creeps
He'll take the wind from your sails,
quoting Jesus - hands on the Kells.
But his words usually fail,
to move me that way.
People move on, move along,
people move on...
just gotta keep moving on.


So go play safe, fly low,
for the sake of all you have known.
Throw your staff down
from the citadel, and run away.

I was born as a pantomime horse
Ugly as the sun when he falls to the floor
I was cut from the wreckage one day
This is what I get for being that way
Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them?
Well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend?
I was conned by a circus hand
Tragic as the son of superman
I would die for the stars she said
This is what I get for my beautiful head
