If the train don’t go there I’ll get a jet or a bus I’m gonna find you You’re mine and I know I’ll find you My head is my only house Until I find you I’ll walk the meadow plains Water deserts by my eyes until I find you I won’t sleep until I find you I won’t eat until I’ve found you Heart won’t beat Until I can wrap my arms around you Heart won’t beat Until I’ve found you My arms are just two things in the way until I can wrap them around you You can make a sad song happy And a bad world good I can feel you out there movin’ You’re mine and I know I’ll find you And my head is my only house unless it rains I hate to let other people hear me sing this song If it reaches you before I do Follow this song to I love you That’s where you’ll find me That’s where you’ll find me Heart won’t beat Until I can wrap my arms around you Heart won’t beat Until I’ve found you My head is my only house unless it rains I hate to let other people hear me sing this song If it reaches you before I do Follow this song to I love you That’s where you’ll find me That’s where you’ll find me Heart won’t beat Heart won’t beat Heart won’t beat Until I found you And my head is my only house unless it rains |

I still haven't got over it even now
I want to spend huge amounts of time on my own I don't want to cause any serious damage I want to make sure that I can manage because I'm not really in your head I'm not really in your head And I see love and disaffection and the clouds build up and won't pass over This is my road to my redemption And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway I still haven't got over it even now I want to spend huge amounds of time in my room And I'm not coming out until I feel ready not running out for a while my heart's unsteady and I'm not really in your head I'm not really in your head When you sky falls to minus zero well some things must dissappear Oh this is my road to my redemption And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway The names may have been changed but the faces are the same The names may have been changed but as people we're not the same And I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not really in your head And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway Yeah, my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway |

Num cantinho um viol??짙o
Este amor, uma can??짠??짙o Pr??징 fazer feliz a quem se ama Muita calmap r??징 pensar E ter tempo pr??징 sonhar Da janela v??짧-se o Corcovado O Redentor, que lindo! Quero a vida sempre assim Com voc??짧 perto de mim At??짤 o apagar da velha chama E eu que era triste Descrente deste mundo Ao encontrar voc??짧 eu conheci O que ??짤 felicidade Meu amor Quiet nights of quiet stars Quiet chords from my guitar, Floating on the silence that surrounds me. Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, Quiet walks by quiet streams, And a window looking out on the mountains and the sea, how lovely! This is how I want to be, Here with you so close to me, Until the final flicker of life's ember. I who was lost and lonely, Believing life was only, A bitter tragic joke have found with you, The meaning of existence, oh my love. |

If you ever feel the time to drop me a loving line maybe you should just think twice I don't wait around on your advice You tell me I can go this far, but no more Try to show me heaven and then slam the door You offer shelter at a price much too dear And your kind of love's the kind that soon disappears So don't brag how you have changed And everything's been rearranged I thought all that was over and done But I still get the same from Each and Everyone Being kind is just a way to keep me under your thumb and I can cry because that's something we've always done you tell me I'm free of the past now and all those lies then offer me the same thing in a different guise |

I don't want excuses. I don't want your smiles. I don't want to feel like we're apart a thousand miles. I don't want your attitude. I don't want your things. But I don't want a 'phone that never rings. I want your love and I want it now. I don't want your history. I don't want that stuff. I want you to shut your mouth. That would be enough. And I don't care if you've been here before. You don't understand - tonight I feel above the law and I'm coming in to land. I want your love and I want it now. My heart is that much harder now. That's what I thought before today. My heart is that much harder now. And I thought that it would stay that way, before today. Before today. I don't want a 'phone that never rings. I want your love and I want it now. |

I step off the train, I'm walking down your street again, and past your door, but you don't live there any more. It's years since you've been there. Now you've disappeared somewhere, like outer space, you've found some better place, and I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain. Could you be dead? You always were two steps ahead of everyone. We'd walk behind while you would run. I look up at your house, and I can almost hear you shout down to me, where I always used to be, and I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain. Back on the train, I ask why did I come again? Can I confess I've been hanging round your old address? And the years have proved, to offer nothing since you moved. You're long gone but I can't move on, and I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain. |

Guess that "How you keeping now?" Means "Where are you sleeping now" But of course it's not polite To ask you where you spent last night And if I did you might reply That I have no right And anyway I'm fine Glad that you're no longer mine If I should tell a lie I'll cross my heart and hope to die You'd be appalled If you knew what I was doing When you called Yes, I can see I'm blundering Always end up wondering Will it ever be alright To ask you where you spent last night And can it be polite The way we never write, Of course I don't have the time, And anyway I'm fine If I should tell a lie I'll cross my hear and hope to die I hope we never die |

You never knew the teenage me and you would not believe the things you didn't see, some pretty, some ugly. And the lovely mirrorball reflected back them all - every triumph, every fight, under disco light. Come on girl, it's alright. Come on girl, it's alright now. Come on girl, it's gonna be alright now. Well I guess some boys adored me but the one I loved ignored me, and caused me in the end to murder my best friend. And though I got her letter, it never did get better, and I got out of my head. Then I joined a band instead. Some good times I remember - my birthday that September, we lay down on the lawn, and counted until dawn the stars that we lay under. And is he still, I wonder, the fairest of them all, mirror, mirrorball? Come on girl, it's too late. Come on girl, it's too late now. Let it all go. It's gonna be alright now. Oh it's never gonna be alright. But it's too late now. Let it all go. 'Cause it's never gonna be alright. |

I've grown up since I was a kid And maybe, Dad, it's time that you did" She said, "I'll give you a piece of my mind And you're not too old to take it Oh, just a piece of my mind and not too old 'Cause I'm not your baby, not your little girl I'm not your baby, not your little girl" |

Now we're in twin cities, where the Mississippi rises and then falls.
One is Minneapolis, the other though less famous, is St. Paul. There are stray dogs on the highway and the local farmers moan about lack of rain. When the winds blew last winter I'd swear England had another hurricane. And we are twin cities and we are that river. From the standing still, we will be delivered. The last time in new york was with Mandela and Madonna and the Mets. For icons of an era, well, that's about as famous as it gets. I've seen cities full of ticker tape and cotton trains through Utah disappearing out of sight. And now I'm standing in a city that's as pretty as an ocean in the night. And we are twin cities and we are that ocean. from the standing still, we are set in motion. And no one calls me up to say, "how long are you going to be away?" No one calls me up to say, "don't let that life lead you astray" They were rioting in Detroit on the night the pistons won it back to back. I was out of there the next day and I only had just two bags to pack. And we are twin cities and we are one river. From the standing still, we will be delivered. and we are twin cities and we are one ocean. From the standing still, we are set in motion. |

I've never been skating on a frozen river
Joni and Jane make it sound so cool Sometimes I can get so down it seems Nothing much is gonna turn me around They could freeze the brook outside my home But it's only small, not like the Hudson Where I'd be clean away, the only one Down through winter trees, on a smooth run on a frozen river But look at me now I'm getting to you And all afternoon you have been so bright "No use turning good into bad" At times like this you are always right And the snowdrops are through, I never knew And my oldest jokes still have you reeling I'll put the troubles I find to the back of my mind Sometimes my love has the craziest feeling like a frozen river Half the world will sleep alone tonight Friends of mine as well Half the world are on their own tonight Friends of mine as well There's a river below this bright night sky So full of stars, it's the best for ages Where I stand in the lane, having shut off the car Just hearing your wonder like a frozen river You're like a frozen river |

A summer evening; I walk past the window,
Baby's crying; Someone's cooking dinner There's laughter on the TV Someone's learning the violin. How at home, it heals At times like this, I feel that... CHORUS: I would like to live like anybody else In one place And I could be happy and fulfilled In one place So I get the map out And draw a line of where we've been It goes thru sea and sky Twenty-five planes this year And it's only July... This is not some Bible, like "On The Road" It's just a song about coming home And whether... CHORUS: I would like to live like anybody else In one place And I could be happy and fulfilled In one place And you know that I have found That I'm happiest weaving from town to town And you know Bruce said we should keep moving 'round Maybe we all get too tied down, I don't know Hell, I don't know I'm happy to be home (Still alive) Happy to be home... In the end, if you take care You can be happy or unhappy anywhere CHORUS: And I think we maybe all rely too much On one place I know I never would deny the need For one place So I get the map out (get the map out) Yeah I get the map out (get the map out) C'mon, get the map out (get the map out) Get the map out (get the map out) |

You always loved the sad songs, like you loved it when I lost, so I don't tell you when I'm happy because it only makes you cross. And I thought as I was leaving, and it strkes me every time, politics aside we always, I thought we always got on fine.
Crystal clear were my intentions, but you didn't want to know, when there's no point in staying, you just go. And I'll be driving through provincial towns and places sweetly named, and I'll be looking for a centre, for a sense of live contained. But them I'm out the other side and through suburban avenues and I realise it never was there. Well, that's how I feel about you. Crystal clear were my intentions, but you didn't want to know, when there's no point in staying you just go. |

Lying in bed on a weekday night
Listening to the title fight From a town the radio said was Atlantic City The branches brush the windows The hour is early evening And Frankie's beating hell out of the champion Frankie is the one, you know Frankie is the boy I hope my sister's listening from her place in Illinois For though the world is turning darkly all the stars are out tonight There are dreams still shining, redefining all that makes us feel alright Lying in bed in the afternoon listening to Frankie Lymon tunes While the people make their way home from the dusty city The breezes blow the curtains the hour is early evening and Frankie's singing songs just like a champion Frankie was the one, you know Frankie was the boy My sister shook his hand the night he played at the Savoy And though the world is turning darkly all the stars are out tonight There are dreams still shining, redefining all that makes us feel alright Frankie is the one, you know Frankie is the boy Frankie bears the weight of all our sorrow and our joy For though the world is turning darkly all the stars are out tonight There are dreams still shining, redefining all that makes us feel alright I feel alright |

I want your love and I want it now. I don't want your history. I don't want that stuff. I want you to shut your mouth. That would be enough. And I don't care if you've been here before. You don't understand - tonight I feel above the law and I'm coming in to land. I want your love and I want it now. My heart is that much harder now. That's what I thought before today. My heart is that much harder now. And I thought that it would stay that way, before today. Before today. I don't want a 'phone that never rings. I want your love and I want it now. |

I don't wanna feel this way
I don't wanna feel this way I don't wanna feel this way - won't somebody take away this feeling I'm looking at a open sky, it's like my roof has got no ceiling It's wrong to feel this way, I know it's wrong, I know it's bad To only see what isn't there, to want and want and never have But you know there's more to me now, don't you? You always cover for me, won't you.....won't you? And this used to look half-full, now some days it looks half-empty And some days it feels like nothing, it always used to feel like plenty It's wrong to feel this way, I know it's wrong, I know it's bad To only see what isn't there, to want and want and never have But you know there's more to me now, don't you? You always cover for me, won't you.....won't you? I don't wanna feel this way won't somebody take away this feeling You play good cop, I play bad cop Still my roof has got no ceiling, still my roof has got no ceiling I don't wanna feel this way I don't wanna feel this way I don't wanna feel this way I don't wanna feel this way |

You never knew the teenage me and you
would not believe the things you didn't see, some pretty, some ugly. And the lovely mirrorball reflected back them all - every triumph, every fight, under disco light. Come on girl, it's alright. Come on girl, it's alright now. Come on girl, it's gonna be alright now. Well I guess some boys adored me but the one I loved ignored me, and caused me in the end to murder my best friend. And though I got her letter, it never did get better, and I got out of my head. Then I joined a band instead. Some good times I remember - my birthday that September, we lay down on the lawn, and counted until dawn the stars that we lay under. And is he still, I wonder, the fairest of them all, mirror, mirrorball? Come on girl, it's too late. Come on girl, it's too late now. Let it all go. It's gonna be alright now. Oh it's never gonna be alright. But it's too late now. Let it all go. 'Cause it's never gonna be alright |

I don't want excuses.
I don't want your smiles. I don't want to feel like we're apart a thousand miles. I don't want your attitude. I don't want your things. But I don't want a 'phone that never rings. I want your love and I want it now. I don't want your history. I don't want that stuff. I want you to shut your mouth. That would be enough. And I don't care if you've been here before. You don't understand - tonight I feel above the law and I'm coming in to land. I want your love and I want it now. My heart is that much harder now. That's what I thought before today. My heart is that much harder now. And I thought that it would stay that way, before today. Before today. I don't want a 'phone that never rings. I want your love and I want it now. |

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again and past your door but you don't live there anymore It's years since you've been there Now you've disappeared somewhere like outer space you've found some better place and I miss you like the deserts miss the rain Could you be dead You always were two steps ahead of everyone. We'd walk behind while you would run I look up at your house and I can almost hear you shout down to me where I always used to be and I miss you like the deserts miss the rain Back on the train I ask why did I come again Can I confess I've been hanging around your old address And the years have proven to offer nothing since you moved You're long gone but I can't move on and I miss you like the deserts miss the rain |

Num cantinho um viol??짙o
Este amor, uma can??짠??짙o Pr??징 fazer feliz a quem se ama Muita calmap r??징 pensar E ter tempo pr??징 sonhar Da janela v??짧-se o Corcovado O Redentor, que lindo! Quero a vida sempre assim Com voc??짧 perto de mim At??짤 o apagar da velha chama E eu que era triste Descrente deste mundo Ao encontrar voc??짧 eu conheci O que ??짤 felicidade Meu amor Quiet nights of quiet stars Quiet chords from my guitar, Floating on the silence that surrounds me. Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, Quiet walks by quiet streams, And a window looking out on the mountains and the sea, how lovely! This is how I want to be, Here with you so close to me, Until the final flicker of life's ember. I who was lost and lonely, Believing life was only, A bitter tragic joke have found with you, The meaning of existence, oh my love. |

I still haven't got over it even now
I want to spend huge amounts of time on my own I don't want to cause any serious damage I want to make sure that I can manage because I'm not really in your head I'm not really in your head And I see love and disaffection and the clouds build up and won't pass over This is my road to my redemption And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway I still haven't got over it even now I want to spend huge amounds of time in my room And I'm not coming out until I feel ready not running out for a while my heart's unsteady and I'm not really in your head I'm not really in your head When you sky falls to minus zero well some things must dissappear Oh this is my road to my redemption And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway The names may have been changed but the faces are the same The names may have been changed but as people we're not the same And I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not really in your head And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway Yeah, my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway |

From the top you can see so far into the distance
Look it's downhill all the way from here Getting there is quicker like going you just slide Shouldn't take more then a year I could almost like you Now it's nearly over Now you've shown some weaknesses Now you're looking older And I heard what you said And I recognise those feelings I know how hard it is to watch you go And all the effort that it took to get here in the first place And all the effort not to let the effort show And 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 If you can ride the backlash There's still time for a comeback You don't have to lie down and die But Lazarus only did it the one time He couldn't face another try And I could almost like you Now it's really over Now you've shown some weakness Now you're looking over your shoulder Who's gonna come and find you And who's coming up behind you |

Just everyone here, do the same I wanna live the things I see 'cause every face, replace my name Across the street, take a right Pick up the pace, pass a fight Did I grow up? Did you stay home? I'm not inmune, I love this tune I wanna love more, I just wanna love more I wanna love more, I just wanna love more I wanna love more, I just wanna love more I wanna love more, I just wanna love more I drive the city late at night It's in my mouth, it's in my head And the people filled the city 'Cause the city fills the people, oh yeah Across the street, avoid the freeze The city's warm by couple of degrees The smell of food, the smell of rain I'm not inmune, I love this tune I wanna love more (there's a river in my head) I just wanna love you more (there's a river in my head) I wanna love you more (there's a river in my head) I just wanna love you more (there's a river in my head) Only way out is down Only way up is down I wanna love more, I just wanna love more I wanna love more, I just wanna love more I wanna love more, I just wanna love more I wanna love more, I just wanna love more |

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 2am 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 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 standing 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 |

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 |

Maybe I was even 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 your name And who gave it to you Well that was me again Who let you down and loved you That was me again And who's the one to blame That was me again I'm the one to blame |

I wanted everything for a little while.
Why shouldn't I? I wanted to know what it was like. But I pushed you too far and you started laying down the law till I didn't love you any more. Now you can pull a little bit, there's a little give and take. And love will stretch a little bit, but finally it's gonna break. Wherever you go I will follow you, 'cause I was wrong. So there we both were in that little house, just hanging out. You didn't know what you were about. You turned to me as you were threading daisies on a chain and you said, "It's decision time again". Now you can pull a little bit, there's a little give and take. And love will stretch a little bit, but finally it's gonna break. Wherever you go I will follow you, 'cause I was wrong. And the ground's gonna swallow you. I was wrong. I wanted everything for a little while. Why shouldn't I? I wanted to know what he was like. Now you can pull a little bit, there's a little give and take. And love will stretch a little bit, but finally it's gonna break. Wherever you go I will follow you, cause I was wrong |

I dreamed about you again last night. You never have the same face twice, but I always know it's you, and you're always looking better than you really do. Than you really do. And I walk around the whole next day feeling like I've still got something to say. But I don't know what it is, and I don't know how to reach you even if I did. Even if I did. Do I wanna hear that you forgive me? Do I wanna hear you're no good without me? Am I big enough to hear that you never even even think about me? Why should you ever think about me? And I thought that I'd outgrow this kind of thing. Tell me, aren't we supposed to mature or something? I haven't found that yet, is this as grown-up as we ever get? Maybe this is as good as it gets. And years may go by, but I think the heart remains a child. The mind may grow wise, but the heart just sulks and it whines and remains a child. I think the heart remains a child. Why don't you love me? Why don't you love me? Why don't you love me? |

London, summer
I think I've changed a lot since then, Do you Ideas that I'd held for years, emotional baggage, hopes and fears, Seen somehow in a different light, not as wrong , but not as right as they seemed before. Was I different then Have I changed And will I change again I'm thinking of a mental free-fall, a partial total memory recall like what of the future, what of the past, what of the present will last And say I did forget and revert to the old days, forget this hurt Am I better off or in reverse, untaught by experience and therefore worse I mean a lot, I mean a little. I mean a lot, I mean a little. I'm like a coastline, a beach and spit. Spurn Point and the rest of it. The sea, the tide, the salt and foam. I'm the blasted land, the sand shifting, drifting out and back, then breached drowned, defenses down, rebuilt from this day on. Or maybe not, maybe my moment's gone. I mean a lot, I mean a little. I mean a lot, I mean a little. Am I the same person I seemed to be Does all of this depress me? I won't listen, I won't talk. A weightless life, I moonwalk. I mean a lot, I mean a little. I'm supple, brittle, pig in the middle. There's resilience inside my face, but sometimes nothing. Deep space. What I feel and what I fear is always here my atmosphere. Pig in the middle I mean a lot, I mean a little I mean a lot, I mean a little |

You don't know what's wrong, you only know it isn't right.
You don'tremember for how long, but you wake in tears at night. Big Deal You spend four nights a week now looking for your inner child. What you gonna say when you find him? Suppose you don't like him or he doesn't like you? Suppose once you wake him up he won't go back to bed and wants to say up late watching TV? But you say there must be some reason why you feel this way. Big deal, that's the way we all feel. Big deal what is it you wanna feel? You say you wanna get cured, you wanna turn off your head. Oh and you say it hurts, and you feel unsure. First you doubt yourself and then you doubt her. Big deal, that's the way we all feel. What is it you wanna feel? I don't think you wanna feel. |

I wanted everything for a little while.
Why shouldn't I? I wanted to know what it was like. But I pushed you too far and you started laying down the law till I didn't love you any more. Now you can pull a little bit, there's a little give and take. And love will stretch a little bit, but finally it's gonna break. Wherever you go I will follow you, 'cause I was wrong. So there we both were in that little house, just hanging out. You didn't know what you were about. You turned to me as you were threading daisies on a chain and you said, "It's decision time again". Now you can pull a little bit, there's a little give and take. And love will stretch a little bit, but finally it's gonna break. Wherever you go I will follow you, 'cause I was wrong. And the ground's gonna swallow you. I was wrong. I wanted everything for a little while. Why shouldn't I? I wanted to know what he was like. Now you can pull a little bit, there's a little give and take. And love will stretch a little bit, but finally it's gonna break. Wherever you go I will follow you, cause I was wrong |

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. |

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. |

You never knew the teenage me and you
would not believe the things you didn't see, some pretty, some ugly. And the lovely mirrorball reflected back them all - every triumph, every fight, under disco light. Come on girl, it's alright. Come on girl, it's alright now. Come on girl, it's gonna be alright now. Well I guess some boys adored me but the one I loved ignored me, and caused me in the end to murder my best friend. And though I got her letter, it never did get better, and I got out of my head. Then I joined a band instead. Some good times I remember - my birthday that September, we lay down on the lawn, and counted until dawn the stars that we lay under. And is he still, I wonder, the fairest of them all, mirror, mirrorball? Come on girl, it's too late. Come on girl, it's too late now. Let it all go. It's gonna be alright now. Oh it's never gonna be alright. But it's too late now. Let it all go. 'Cause it's never gonna be alright |

I don't want excuses.
I don't want your smiles. I don't want to feel like we're apart a thousand miles. I don't want your attitude. I don't want your things. But I don't want a 'phone that never rings. I want your love and I want it now. I don't want your history. I don't want that stuff. I want you to shut your mouth. That would be enough. And I don't care if you've been here before. You don't understand - tonight I feel above the law and I'm coming in to land. I want your love and I want it now. My heart is that much harder now. That's what I thought before today. My heart is that much harder now. And I thought that it would stay that way, before today. Before today. I don't want a 'phone that never rings. I want your love and I want it now. |

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again and past your door but you don't live there anymore It's years since you've been there Now you've disappeared somewhere like outer space you've found some better place and I miss you like the deserts miss the rain Could you be dead You always were two steps ahead of everyone. We'd walk behind while you would run I look up at your house and I can almost hear you shout down to me where I always used to be and I miss you like the deserts miss the rain Back on the train I ask why did I come again Can I confess I've been hanging around your old address And the years have proven to offer nothing since you moved You're long gone but I can't move on and I miss you like the deserts miss the rain |

Why shouldn't I? I wanted to know what it was like. But I pushed you too far and you started laying down the law till I didn't love you any more. Now you can pull a little bit, there's a little give and take. And love will stretch a little bit, but finally it's gonna break. Wherever you go I will follow you, 'cause I was wrong. So there we both were in that little house, just hanging out. You didn't know what you were about. You turned to me as you were threading daisies on a chain and you said, "It's decision time again". Now you can pull a little bit, there's a little give and take. And love will stretch a little bit, but finally it's gonna break. Wherever you go I will follow you, 'cause I was wrong.

I want to spend huge amounts of time on my own I don't want to cause any serious damage I want to make sure that I can manage because I'm not really in your head I'm not really in your head And I see love and disaffection and the clouds build up and won't pass over This is my road to my redemption And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway I still haven't got over it even now I want to spend huge amounds of time in my room And I'm not coming out until I feel ready not running out for a while my heart's unsteady and I'm not really in your head I'm not really in your head When you sky falls to minus zero well some things must dissappear Oh this is my road to my redemption And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway The names may have been changed but the faces are the same The names may have been changed but as people we're not the same And I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not really in your head And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway Yeah, my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway |

I was alone thinking I was just fine,
I wasn't looking for anyone to be mine I thought that love was just a fabrication, A train that wouldn't stop at my station Home, alone, that was my consignment, Solitary, confinement So when we met, I was getting around you, I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you. I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love I didn't know I was looking for love 'Cuz there you stood, and I would, Oh I wonder, could I say how I felt and not be misunderstood? A thousand stars came into my system, I never knew how much I have missed them. Slap, on the lap, of my heart you landed, I was coy, but you made me candid, And now the planets circle around you, I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you. I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love I didn't know I was looking for love So we build from here with love the foundation In the world of tears, one conselation Now you're here and there's a full brass band Playing in me like a wonderland But if you left I would be two foot small And every tear would be a waterfall Soundless, boundless, I surround you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you. I just didn't know. I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you I didn't know I was looking for love I didn't know I was looking for love |

Not for the first time I look back on all those years. Not for the last
time names will ring in my ears. When there was just a gang of us, storming the town by train and bus. A moment of thought this heart sends to old friends. Not for the first time I look back on my first love. Unable to speak or think or move, hand in glove. But what of it now and where is (s)he, (s)he who once meant so much to me? Because we are not, I can't pretend, now old friends. I was told love should hold old friends. I was told love should hold old friends. But when you leave you will close the door behind you - don't we always? - and time won't make amends to old friends. Standing here with my arm around you, life's moved on, and all its borderlines are being redrawn. The winter has come, the roads are white. Everyone's home late tonight. May we stay or will it depend, as old friends? In the end, still old friends? |

You're here, but what if you weren't? What would have happened to me?
That candle, unburnt, is history. One thing, I guess, this place would be a mess, for my standards at best are undemanding. And that needs your understanding. Still here, but what if we weren't? Where d'you think I would be? For love, I have learnt, depends on geography. Fortune found us when all around us half the couples we knew were disbanding. And that takes some understanding. And do you know even when we disagree, and freedom holds out a hand to me, I know I would never want to be without your company. And I mean that totally. One thing is clear, after all these years, we have reached an understanding. We have reached an understanding. |

When the light fades on a long bad day, I sometimes weaken. Then I turn
to see you've been waiting for me, I know I'm not beaten. 'Cause you lift me up, you do. Coming home sometimes I catch the headlines. It's been raining since Saturday night. And the trains run late, I'm stuck at Notting Hill Gate. But you'll make it alright. 'Cause you lift me up (you make it alright), you do. Such a little thing, our love won't make the world alright, but love makes sense of life and that's enough, at least tonight. So late at night maybe, when you call me baby, the day will just fall away. 'Cause you lift me up, you do. Words and music by Tracey Thorn. |

All this short summer night long I've been waiting for you
Just to give me a sign that you feel this way too There are people on the streets for the weekend But I don't hear them There are others I could meet for the weekend But I don't see them Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city I have a dream, of an inky blue sea You could give up your job and go there with me I know we'd miss the football and the dancing There's always something And you'd worry that the people here'd be talking But that's nothing Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city In the morning I sit on the train and wonder If I can go through all this again you know I Feel like staying till the end of the line this time... This time, this time, this time Oh yeah. uh huh. We come to fight and dream in this fairground of a town Through the sweet and sickly streets from the airless undergrounds While the planes fly out of Heathrow taking people late at night To where the fields are like Australia in the early morning light Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city Talk to me like the sea, makes me want to get out of the city Talk to me like the sea In the morning I sit on the train Talk to me like the sea Hey hey hey Talk to me like the sea In the morning I sit on the train Talk to me like the sea Oh oh yeah Talk to me like the sea Oh yeah, I sit on the train. Talk to me like the sea |
