Graham Coxon [Blur]

I saw you today
You were too far away
It'd hurt me to say
Hurt me to say, the words
The words I have to say
There ain't no sound
When you're not around
And it gets me down
Yeah it gets me down
My life feels so brown

I just want to be with you
That's all I wanna do
I just want to be with you
That's all I wanna do

Inside my brain
It's just not the same
Cus it's started to rain
It's started to rain

I just want to be with you
That's all I wanna do
I just want to be with you
That's all I wanna do

Where'd you go?
Dark eyed traveller
I almost feel you breathe

Where'd you go?
Dark eyed traveller
Can you even hear me speak?

You made things bright
When they took the light away
Led me inside and kissed all my tears away
Said you were here to stay

Where'd you go?
In the morning
When I was weighted down with dreams

Where'd you go?
In the morning
When fever pulled me down stream

You made things bright
Then you took the light away
Lent me your eyes and showed me a brand new way
Now I just feel dead today

Long time on the phone line
There's sunshine when I dial 9
Small breaths form words
Like crystals in warm air
And I want you for my very very own
In a salty sea, our voices meet
Long time on the phone line
There's sunshine when I dial 9
Small breaths form words
Like crystals in warm air
And I want you for my very very own
In a salty sea, our voices meet

On sticks and sand, lost my money, lost my hands
Blood on my brain, too much salt in my veins
And I thought pain was clean
And I thought hearts were strong
But bones aren't sticks anymore
And a day is far too long

So many days never needing any grace
Live for kicks and danger, there'd be beauty any way

And I thought pain was clean
And I thought hearts were strong
But bones aren't sticks anymore
And a day is far too long

And a day is far too long
And a day is far too long

When all the nights are dream
And not really what they seem
I'd cut my hair in spite
And set my hands on fire
Are you lonely?
Are you lonely?
Are you lonely?

In the daylight hours
I go out and kill the flowers
Faces all too clear
Keep on looming near

Are you lonely?
Are you lonely?
Are you lonely?

I wish the music would play by itself,
Shredded fingers... no ideas
I wish this rainy day could be the last,
Could the world end?... what a God send

I wish I could stop wishing you were here,
But I don't want to... cus I'd still want you

I wish I didn't feel so flippin mad,
Don't wanna scare you... just wanna love you

I wish my life could last a thousand years,
Then I'd be clever... and build a heaven

I wish I could bring Nick Drake back to life,
He'd understand... hold my hand

I wish a constant stream of happy shit,
Live forever... in world of leather

I wish the rain would just leave me alone,
I can't wear that... stupid rain hat

I wish I was in California
Pernod perfume.. in the Danube

I wish the thing of love meant just one thing
Cinderella... Salmonella

Treat me Hard + Slow
Don't let me go

Strip me of my clothes
Kiss Hard + Slow

Me you
We two
Trying to begin
Trying to begin
We you
We two
Trying to begin
Trying to begin

And the wind will blow
But my love won't go
My love won't go

Me you
We two
Trying to begin
Trying to begin

Waiting for my friend
Waiting for my friend
Waiting for my friend
Waiting for my friend
And I don't want no one to know
I can't talk with you
I can't talk with you
I can't talk with you
I can't talk with you
If you don't want me to

Waiting for my friend
Waiting for my friend
And I don't want no one to know
I don't want no one to know

I stole the bottle of gin from over the counter and ran, I knew I'd been seen.
I scarpered stifling giggles down the street and hid round a corner on a side street.

I heard him huffing and the sound of his big feet against the paving, he was getting close.

As he rounded the corner
I sighted him up down the barrel of the gun
and on seeing his expression change to one of horror + confusion jerked back the trigger.
His body was jolted back by the force of the bullet + his feet flew foward.
I saw a bright little rivulet of blood arc into the air and I slid the gun into the waistband of my trousers.

Who the fuck are you looking at?
Who the fuck are you looking at?
Who the fuck are you looking at?
Who the fuck are you looking at?

Is there really a thing like feeling too much?
Can you really escape + numb the real?

There's a way of saying, a way of sayin a shape
I feel a certain shape and it's complicated it's not like a square or a circle.
It's like a crystal or a diamond, it's clean, hard, unfathomable and it ends in an augmented kiss
It ends in an augmented (demented) kiss

Who the fuck are you looking at?
Who the fuck are you looking at?
Who the fuck are you looking at?
Who the fuck are you looking at?

Rock Stars are not cool.
They're full of his guy they call Satan, kids stuff oozing from their mouths.

They wear the shoes of dead soldiers shot by soldiers,
valium horses trotting squeezing through their raspberry blood.

Sometimes I feel so stoopid I wanna quit
get out of it cus I hate this world and everyone in it
The fat Bald men who run it - the fat bald men.

Who the fuck are you looking at?
Who the fuck are you looking at?
Who the fuck are you looking at?
Who the fuck are you looking at?

Jamie skates so nice and clean
Wish he could be my toy machine
Jamie skates so nice and clean
Wish he could be my toy machine
Jamie skates so nice and clean
Wish he could be my toy machine

He's a hero
I'm a zero
He's a hero

Jamie skates so nice and clean

Jamie skates so nice and clean
Wish he could be my toy machine
Jamie skates so nice and clean

I ain't had no kicks for what seems such a long time
I ain't had no peace for what seems such a long time
I ain't had no kicks for what seems such a long time
I ain't had no peace for what seems such a long time
The fear of being alone
The fear, the fear, the fear
The fear of being alone

I ain't had no sleep for what seems such a long time
I ain't had no hope for what seems such a long time
I ain't had no sleep for what seems such a long time
I ain't had no hope for what seems such a long time

The fear of being alone
The fear, the fear, the fear
The fear of being alone

You can never really run without remaining the same
The truth you carry with you is the gas for the flame

The fear of being alone
The fear, the fear, the fear
The fear of being alone

Fame and fortune
Facts of life
Most of what makes it this useless try
So change the angle of the battle plan
To hit the target
Fame and fortune fancy that
Nothing but rabbits coming outta the hat
So try and catch a falling star
Crush it to dust and stuck it down a jar
And throw it far away

Now the void is back to front
See through people
See through monuments
No reply

The beginning, happy ending
The beginning, happy ending
The beginning, happy ending (one goes up, one goes down)
The beginning, happy ending (one goes up, one goes down)

Smash your face against the wall
Blinded, facing to the ground no no
Pretty faces on the wall
We fall

Piece a point disappear in the sky
Slack the ashes and make you do it right
Pretty faces on the wall Oh no no no

Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
I'll play forever

This is my idea of hell
My idea of hell

Hiawatha's Departure

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
At the doorway of the wigwam,
In the early Summer morning,
Hiawatha stood and waited.
All the air was full of freshness,
All the earth was bright and joyous,
And before him, through the sunshine,
Westward toward the neighboring forest
Passed in golden swarms the Ahmo,
Passed the bees, the honey-makers,
Burning, singing in the sunshine.
Bright above him shone the heavens,
Level spread the lake before him;
From its bosom leaped the sturgeon,
Sparkling, flashing in the sunshine;
On its margin the great forest
Stood reflected in the water,
Every tree-top had its shadow,
Motionless beneath the water.
From the brow of Hiawatha
Gone was every trace of sorrow,
As the fog from off the water,
As the mist from off the meadow.
With a smile of joy and gladness,
With a look of exultation,
As of one who in a vision
Sees what is to be, but is not,
Stood and waited Hiawatha.
Toward the sun his hands were lifted,
Both the palms spread out toward it,
And between the parted fingers
Fell the sunshine on his features,
Flecked with light his naked shoulders,
As it falls and flecks an oak-tree
Through the rifted leaves and branches.
O'er the water floating, flying,
Something in the hazy distance,
Something in the mists of morning,
Loomed and lifted from the water,
Now seemed floating, now seemed flying,
Coming nearer, nearer, nearer.
Was it Shingebis the diver?
Or the pelican, the Shada?
Or the heron, the Shuh-shuh-gah?
Or the white goose, Waw-be-wana,
With the water dripping, flashing,
From its glossy neck and feathers?
It was neither goose nor diver,
Neither pelican nor heron,
O'er the water floating, flying,
Through the shining mist of morning,
But a birch canoe with paddles,
Rising, sinking on the water,
ripping, flashing in the sunshine;
And within it came a people

The Son of the Evening Star

Can it be the sun descending
O'er the level plain of water?
Or the Red Swan floating, flying,
Wounded by the magic arrow,
Staining all the waves with crimson,
With the crimson of its life-blood,
Filling all the air with splendor,
Filling all the air with plumage?
Yes; it is the sun descending,
Sinking down into the water;
All the sky is stained with purple,
All the water flushed with crimson!
No; it is the Red Swan floating,
Diving down beneath the water;
To the sky its wings are lifted,
With its blood the waves are reddened!
Over it the Star of Evening
Melts and trembles through the purple,
Hangs suspended in the twilight,
Walks in silence through the heavens.

Don't know what I'm doing here
Days are full of chips and beer
I've found myself alone again
Tell me what went wrong my friend
Fags and failure every day
Fags and failure every night
Fags and failure till I lay down and die

I am feeling really bad
Life is turning me half mad
Voices shout inside my head
I can't seem to get outta bed

Fags and failure every day
Fags and failure every night
Fags and failure till I lay down and die

What is happening in my brain
I think I've gone completely insane
Help me baby help me please
This thing has got me on my knees

Fags and failure every day
Fags and failure every night
Fags and failure till I lay down and die

Fags and failure every day
Fags and failure every night
Fags and failure till I lay down and die

Too much information for our minds to comprehend
This is a joke that's being played to keep us all desensitized
And under strict control of those in power raking in the dough
While souless people wander gagged and silent
Wishing they could scream
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

It's good to talk if you still can
With your emotions locked inside
A safety that is just as fake as your prescription drug
That holds the promise of another day
But makes you numb to all the shit
They put you through from day to day
That makes you want to scream

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

We're nothing, we're laughing
We're laughing, we're nothing

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

When you want to fall apart
When you want to hide away
You should keep hope alive
When you feel adrift inside
And feel your optimism slide away
You should keep hope alive

When your world just makes you cry
When your will to live has died away
You should keep hope alive
