Where the hell have you been
We've been waiting with our best suits on Hair slicked back and all that jazz Rolling down the Union Jack See you at the barricades babe See you when the lights go low, Joe Hear you when the wheels turn round Someday when the sky turns black It appears because it's what I feel I know I don't understand If you ask you know I don't mind kneeling But when my knees hurt I like to stand Instinct is the common lawyer A million years won't erase Strike the chord I'm searching for Call it a committed race No matter how I shake my fist I know I can't resist it No matter how you shake your fist You know you can't resist it See you at the barricades babe See you when the lights go low, Joe Hear you when the wheels turn round Someday when the sky turns black |

I don't wanna see it again I threw away the magazine And looked for someone to explain I don't wanna look back I can't look 'round I don't wanna see it coming 'round Listen to the ups and downs Listen to the sound they make Don't be scared when it gets loud When your skin begins to shake 'Cos you don't wanna look back You gotta look tall Gotta see those creeps crawl I know you know I know you know Well I can see you've got the blues In your alligator shoes Me I'm all smiles I've got my crocodiles I don't wanna look back I can't turn 'round I don't wanna see it coming down Met someone just the other day He said wait until tomorrow I said hey, whatcha doing today? He said I'm gonna do it tomorrow |

The man at the back has a question
His tongue's involved with solutions But the monkey on my back Won't stop laughing Over the wall Hand in hand Over the wall Watch us fall There's something to be said for you And your hopes of higher ruling But the slug on my neck Won't stop chewing Over the wall Hand in hand Over the wall Watch us fall I'm walking in the rain To end this misery I'm walking in the rain To celebrate this misery What's that you say? Speak up I can't hear What did you say? I couldn't hear Over the wall Hand In hand Over the wall Watch us fall Pounding the road Coast to coast Pounding the road Coast to coast Come over the wall... I can't sleep at night How I wish you'd hold me tight I can't sleep at night Come on and hold me tight... Hold me tight To the logical limit... |

You said you couldn't find
Anyone to love ya I said there's more to life Than a broken heart Did it console ya? I've seen it in your eyes And I've read it in books Who wants love Without the looks? You know the word is please You say it from your knees Show some respect Hey baby, genuflect Once I like crying Twice I like laughter Come on tell me What I'm after I said you gotta stop Chasing rainbows You said I'm just Staying up And anyway I like it When the rain goes I've seen it in your eyes I've read it in books Who wants love Without the looks? Once I like crying Twice I like laughter Come on tell me What I'm after There's not that much to us I hide the little with the lot You still expect a loving fuss After showing all you've got I've seen it in your eyes I've read it in books Who wants love Without the looks?

The sky seems full
When you're in the cradle The rain will fall And wash your dreams Stars are stars And they shine so hard Now you spit out the sky Because it's empty and hollow All your dreams Are hanging out to dry Stars are stars And they shine so cold I saw you climb Shadows on the trees We lost some time After things that never matter I caught that falling star It cut my hands to pieces Where did I put that box? It had my name in it I saw you climb Shadows on the trees We lost some time After things that never matter The cogs have clicked and The clocks will have their say In the making of a day You came here late Go home early Who'll remember? Now you've gone away Gone away Gone away |

That could always change With comparative ease Just given the chance My life is the earth Twixt muscle and spade We wait for the worth Digging for just one chance As prospects diminish As nightmares swell Some pray for Heaven while We live in hell My life's the disease My life's the disease If you get yours From Heaven Don't waste them ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By MCCULLOCH, IAN STEPHEN / SERGEANT, WILLIAM ALFRED / PATTINSON, LESLIE THOMAS / DE FREITAS, PETE <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

Just when the thought occurs
The panic will pass And the smell of the fields Never lasts Put your faith in those Crimson nights Set sail in those Turquoise days We've got a problem Come on over We got a problem Come on over It's not for glory It's not for honor Just something Someone said It's not for love It's not for war Just hands clasped together It's not for living It's not for hunger Just lips locked tight It's not rebellion It's not suffering It's just the way it is And my pistols packed And my God goes with me I fell easy And I want it And I need it And I've got it It's not for this It's not for that It's not any of it Did you say knowledge? Did you say prayer? Did you say anything? If not for good If not for better If not the way it is Just when the thought occurs The panic will pass And the smell of the fields Never lasts We'll place our faith in those Crimson nights Set sail in those Turquoise days Place your faith in those Crimson nights Set sail in those Turquoise days You've got a problem? Come on over You've got a problem? Come on overNow I think I know just what to say.... |

Halt
Nobody's allowed Strictly verboten Out, out, out, out Bounds Of course we know no bounds Until, at least, and then Trespass all the way down They got it And I want some I can handle it And I want some Relax Feel the pleasure inside Error and trial Collide, collide You'll listen I don't expect you to We've lost And something's all we can do With a hip-hip-hop And a flip-flap-flop Gonna steal some bananas From the grocer's shop With your head in the clouds And your trousers undone Gonna shit on the carpet Just like everyone This is the one for the money This is the one for the trees This is the one called Heaven And this is the one for me You've yet to discover Discover the difference The difference between The moral and motto They've got it And I had some I couldn't handle it But I had some Hold it in the light And see right through it For God's sake Make a decision Take it for a walk And hold it hold it Pin it on the wall And fasten onto Move into the bathroom Oh yes, oh yes Do what must be done And don't say maybe This is the one for the money This is the one for the trees This is the one called Heaven And this is the one for me |

under sliver studded skies In a forest burnig ashes on the bonfires of our lives As the sky fell down I was lost and found saw my world spin round round and round All the ghosts have gathered round me come to tell me of a change in the darkness that surrounds me I am falling down again On this haunted ground I was lost and found Chorus: Lost Lost and found (x2) She will tell you her cathedral has no windows and no doors and you know she doesn't need you and that's why you want her more As your heart melts down you are lost and found (chorus) I was counting all the tombstones of the buried boys and girls as the wind blew in like ice and froze this cemetery world And we all fell down we were lost and found And the sun went down we were lost and found (chorus x2) |

A sense of duty
was my one intention and an ugly beauty was my own invention Pride a proud refusal and I refuse to need your approval Too many seekers Too few beacons But through the fog we'll keep on beaming Through the crying hours of your glitter years all the living out of your tinsel tears and the midnight trains I never made 'cos I'd already played...the game Everybody's got their own good reason why their favorite season is their favorite season Winter winners and those summers sons aren't good for everyone aren't good for everyone Spring has sprung and autumns well done so well done And it's a better thing that we do now forgetting everything the whys and hows While you reminisce about the things you miss you won't be ready to kiss...goodbye The earth is a world The world is a ball A ball in a game with no rules at all And just as I wonder at the beauty of it all you go and drop it and it breaks and falls I'll never understand why you thought I would need to be reassured and be understood When I always knew that your bad's my good and I was ready ready...to be loved Born under Mars With Jupiter rising Fallen from stars That lit my horizon I'll never understand why you thought I would need to be reassured and be understood When I always knew that your bad's my good and I was ready ready...to be Through the crying hours of your glitter years all the living out of your tinsel tears and the midnight trains I never made 'cos I'd already played it's a better thing that we do now forgetting everything the whys and hows While you reminisce about the things you miss you won't be ready to kiss...goodbye |

I'm on the chopping block
Chopping off my stopping thought Self doubt and selfism Were the cheapest things I ever bought When you say it's love D'you mean the back of love When you say it's love D'you mean the back of love? We're taking advantage of Breaking the back of love We're taking advantage of Breaking the back of love Easier said than done you said But it's more difficult to say With eyes bigger than our bellies We want to but we can't look away What were you thinking of When you dreamt that up? What were you thinking of When you dreamt that up? Taking advantage of Breaking the back of love When you're surrounded by a simple chain of events (Behind my eyes, behind my eyes) (Your eyes don't lie) Eventually you'll shack those shackles off (Dreams above those eyes) (Those eyes) We can't tell our left from right But we know we love extremes Getting to grips with the ups and downs Because there's nothing in between When you say that's love D'you mean the back of love When you say that's love D'you mean the back of love? Taking advantage of Breaking the back of love What were you thinking of When you dreamt that up? We're taking advantage of We're breaking the back of love Breaking the back of love |

You said you couldn't find
Anyone to love ya I said there's more to life Than a broken heart Did it console ya? I've seen it in your eyes And I've read it in books Who wants love Without the looks? You know the word is please You say it from your knees Show some respect Hey baby, genuflect Once I like crying Twice I like laughter Come on tell me What I'm after I said you gotta stop Chasing rainbows You said I'm just Staying up And anyway I like it When the rain goes I've seen it in your eyes I've read it in books Who wants love Without the looks? Once I like crying Twice I like laughter Come on tell me What I'm after There's not that much to us I hide the little with the lot You still expect a loving fuss After showing all you've got I've seen it in your eyes I've read it in books Who wants love Without the looks?

Stab a sorry heart
With your favourite finger Paint the whole world blue And stop your tears from stinging Hear the cavemen singing Good news they’re bringing Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell A longing for Some fresher feeling Belonging Or just forever kneeling Where is the sense in stealing Without the grace to be it Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell Burning my bridges And smashing my mirrors Turning to see if you’re cowardly Burning the witches with mother religious You’ll strike the matches and shower me In water games Washing the rocks below Taught and tamed In time with tear flow Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise Seven seas Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell |

Swung from a chandelier
My planet sweet on a silver salver Bailed out my worst fears 'Cause man has to be his own savior Blind sailors Imprisoned jailers God tame us No one to blame us The sky is blue My hands untied A world that's true Through our clean eyes Just look at you With burning lips You're living proof At my fingertips Walked on a tidal wave Laughed in the face of a brand new day Food for survival thought Mapped out the place where I planned to stay All the way Well behaved Just in case It slips away The sky is blue My hands untied A world that's true Through our clean eyes Just look at you With burning lips You're living proof At my fingertips La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la The sky is blue My hands untied A world that's true Through our clean eyes Just look at you With burning lips You're living proof At my fingertips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips Ti-ti-ti-ti-tips La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la |

We sat all night around a table
Trying to string three words together Time has come and By the way, mine's a double By the way, mine's a double Nothing for some We don't understand Everything we hear We just pick out the simple stuff Simple stuff We don't need all those complications We're tough stuff And we got no intentions Repeat... |

Who's on the seventh floor
Brewing alternatives What's in the bottom drawer Waiting for things to give Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Come to the free for all With seven tapered knives Some of them six feet tall We will escape our lives Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Am I the happy loss Will I still recoil When the skin is lost Am I the worthy cross Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Ocean Watch the fingers close When the hands are cold Am I the happy loss Will I still recoil When the skin is lost Am I the worthy cross Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off Am I the happy loss Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By MCCULLOCH, IAN STEPHEN / SERGEANT, WILLIAM ALFRED / PATTINSON, LESLIE THOMAS / DE FREITAS, PETER LOUIS VINCENT <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

so soon you'll take me
up in your arms too late to beg you or cancel it though I know it must be the killing time unwillingly mine Fate up against your will through the thick and thin he will wait until you give yourself to him In starlit nights I saw you so cruelly you kissed me your lips a magic world your sky all hung with jewels the killing moon will come too soon Fate up against your will through the thick and thin he will wait until you give yourself to him |

Here am I
Whole at last with a golden view Looking for hope And I hope it's you Splitting my heart Cracked right in two The pleasure of pain endured To purify our misfit ways And magnify our crystal days Where are you In shadows only I can see Looking for hope And you hope it's me Tattered and torn and born to be Building a world where we can Purify our misfit ways And magnify our crystal days Pure and to magnify Here am I Whole at last with a golden view Looking for hope And I know it's you Splitting my heart Cracked right in two The pleasure of pain and joy To purify our misfit ways And magnify our crystal days Purify our misfit ways And magnify our crystal days Do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do Days |
