Laurence Tolhurst

You're so gorgeous
I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet
To where your head begins
You're so perfect
You're so right as rain
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry again

Everything you do is irresistible
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't I be you?

I'll run around in circles
'Til I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up
Or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful
Too good to be true
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?

You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
So why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you?

You're simply elegant

You're so gorgeous
I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet
To where your head begins
You're so perfect
You're so right as rain
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry again

Everything you do is irresistible
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't I be you?

I'll run around in circles
'Til I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up
Or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful
Too good to be true
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?

You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
So why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you?

You're simply elegant

I'm in the room without a light
The room without a view
I'm here for one more treacherous night
Another night with you

It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled my skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams and pulls some more

Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
I'm helpless
I'm helpless again
Oh I'm helpless again

My body is cut and broken
It's shattered and sore
My body is cut wide open
I can't stand anymore

It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled my skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams and screams for more

Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back

Oh it's torture
And I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there

It's torture

But I'm almost there

I'm in the room without a light
The room without a view
I'm here for one more treacherous night
Another night with you

It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled my skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams and pulls some more

Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
I'm helpless
I'm helpless again
Oh I'm helpless again

My body is cut and broken
It's shattered and sore
My body is cut wide open
I can't stand anymore

It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled my skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams and screams for more

Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back

Oh it's torture
And I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there

It's torture

But I'm almost there

Well we're a mile under the ground
And I'm thinking that it's Christmas
And I'm kissing you hard
Like I've got very important business
And no one knows and no one sees us
Because they're drinking their selves senseless

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snakepit

Well I'm out in a car
And it's just full of stupid girls
And I've forgotten how to speak
And I just can't remember a word
And my eyes feel like they're bursting
And they're splitting like plums

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snake pit

Well we're a mile under the ground
And I'm thinking that it's Christmas
And I'm kissing you hard
Like I've got very important business
And no one knows and no one sees us
Because they're drinking their selves senseless

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snakepit

Well I'm out in a car
And it's just full of stupid girls
And I've forgotten how to speak
And I just can't remember a word
And my eyes feel like they're bursting
And they're splitting like plums

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snake pit

Oh kiss me kiss me kiss me
Your tongue's like poison
So swollen it fills up my mouth

Just just love me love me love me
You nail me to the floor
And push my guts all inside out

Just get it out
Get it out
Get it out
Get your fucking voice out of my head

I never wanted this
Never wanted any of this
I wish you were dead
I wish you were dead

Oh kiss me kiss me kiss me
Your tongue's like poison
So swollen it fills up my mouth

Just just love me love me love me
You nail me to the floor
And push my guts all inside out

Just get it out
Get it out
Get it out
Get your fucking voice out of my head

I never wanted this
Never wanted any of this
I wish you were dead
I wish you were dead

I couldn't hear a word you said
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
And I couldn't look back

Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen
Not this way
Not today

Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back
You can never forget how it used to feel
The illusion is deep
It's as deep as the night
I can tell by your tears you remember it all

I am paralysed
By the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
Never stop

How it feels to be dry
Walking bare in the sun
Every mirage I see is a mirage of you
As I cool in the twilight
Taste the salt on my skin
I recall all the tears all the broken words

I am paralysed
By the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
Never stop

When the sunset's glow drifts away from you
You'll no longer know if any of this was really true at all

I am paralysed
By the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
Never stop

Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back
You can never forget how it used to feel

I am paralysed
By the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
Never stop

Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back
You can never forget how it used to feel
The illusion is deep
It's as deep as the night
I can tell by your tears you remember it all

I am paralysed
By the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
Never stop

How it feels to be dry
Walking bare in the sun
Every mirage I see is a mirage of you
As I cool in the twilight
Taste the salt on my skin
I recall all the tears all the broken words

I am paralysed
By the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
Never stop

When the sunset's glow drifts away from you
You'll no longer know if any of this was really true at all

I am paralysed

By the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
Never stop

Heaven give me a sign
Waiting for the sun to shine
Pleasure fills up my dreams
And I love it like a baby screams

It's so useless how can you be proud
When you're sinking into the ground
Into the ground fills up my dreams
And I love it like a baby screams

Couldn't ask for more you said
Take it all and strike me dead


Waiting again
Waiting like I waited before
Waiting again
Waiting here for nothing at all
Heaven fills up my dreams
And I love it like a baby screams

Couldn't ask for more you said
Couldn't ever let it end
Take it all
Take it all and strike me dead

Heaven

Heaven give me a sign
Waiting for the sun to shine
Pleasure fills up my dreams
And I love it like a baby screams

It's so useless how can you be proud
When you're sinking into the ground
Into the ground fills up my dreams
And I love it like a baby screams

Couldn't ask for more you said
Take it all and strike me dead


Waiting again
Waiting like I waited before
Waiting again
Waiting here for nothing at all
Heaven fills up my dreams
And I love it like a baby screams

Couldn't ask for more you said
Couldn't ever let it end
Take it all
Take it all and strike me dead

Heaven

Let me forget
Let me forget
Or let me go
Let me go
I'll keep it quiet as a whisper
I'll keep it low low low...
Never!
The biggest word I ever heard
Stop dead
Stop dead
You're getting too close...

Before you even opened your eyes
I moved about a million ways
I killed about a million people
And filled about half a day
Before you even opened your eyes
You had to have to ask me who
I love it...
I mean you...

My face was in your hands
You looked into my eyes
You said I tasted right
And swallowed me alive

Well we're a mile under the ground
And I'm thinking that it's Christmas
And I'm kissing you hard
Like I've got very important business
And no-one knows
And no-one sees us
Because they're drinking themselves senseless

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snakepit
Well I'm out in a car
And it's just full of stupid girls

And I've forgotten how to speak
And I just can't remember a word
And my eyes feel like they're bursting
And they're splitting like plums

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snakepit

This is stranger than I thought
Six different ways inside my heart
And every one I'll keep tonight
Six different ways go deep inside

I'll tell them anything at all
I know I'll give them more and more

I'll tell them anything at all
I know I'll give the world and more
They think I'm on my hands and head
This time they're much too slow

Six sides to every lie I say
It's that American voice again
"It was never quite like this before
Not one of you is the same"

This this is stranger than I ever thought

I am slowing down
As the years go by
I am sinking

So I trick myself
Like everybody else

The secrets I hide
They twist me inside
They make me weaker

So I trick myself
Like everybody else

I crouch in fear and wait
I'll never feel again
If only I could
If only I could
If only I could remember
Anything at all

I am slowing down
As the years go by
I am sinking

So I trick myself
Like everybody else

The secrets I hide
They twist me inside
They make me weaker

So I trick myself
Like everybody else

I'll never feel again
If only I could
If only I could
If only I could remember
Anything at all

You're just a waste of time
You're just a babbling face
You're just three sick holes that run like sores
You're a fucking waste

You're like a slug on the floor
Oh you're useless and ugly and useless and ugly
And I shiver and shake
When I think of how you make me hate

I want to smash you to pieces
I want to smash you up and screaming
I want to smash you helpless down on the floor
Smash you until you're not here anymore

Yeah I shiver and shake

I shiver and shake

You're just a waste of time
You're just a babbling face
You're just three sick holes that run like sores
You're a fucking waste

You're like a slug on the floor
Oh you're useless and ugly and useless and ugly
And I shiver and shake
When I think of how you make me hate

I want to smash you to pieces
I want to smash you up and screaming
I want to smash you helpless down on the floor
Smash you until you're not here anymore

Yeah I shiver and shake

I shiver and shake

When you screw up your eyes
When you screw up your face
When you throw out your arms
And keep changing your shape

Taste the taste in your mouth
Taste the taste on your tongue
On the film on your eyes
Of the way I've become

What do I do when you screw up your eyes?
What do I do when you screw up your face?
What do I do when you throw out your arms
Fall on the floor and keep changing your shape?

Jump right into your mouth
Jump around on your tongue
And the film on your eyes
Of the way I've become

Makes me sick at the way that I try
Anything in the world
To impress that I'm doing this
Only for you

When you screw up your eyes
When you screw up your face
When you throw out your arms
And keep changing your shape

Taste the taste in your mouth
Taste the taste on your tongue
On the film on your eyes
Of the way I've become

What do I do when you screw up your eyes?
What do I do when you screw up your face?
What do I do when you throw out your arms
Fall on the floor and keep changing your shape?

Jump right into your mouth
Jump around on your tongue
And the film on your eyes
Of the way I've become

Makes me sick at the way that I try
Anything in the world
To impress that I'm doing this
Only for you

Go go go
Go go go
Push him away
No no no
No no no
Don't let me stay

He gets inside to stare at her
The sleeping mouth
The mouth that knows
The secret you
Always you
A smile to hide the fear away
Oh smear this man across the walls
Like strawberries and cream
It's the only way to be

Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But I've stayed away too long this time
And I've got too big to fit this time

Go go go
Go go go
Push him away
No no no
No no no
Don't let me stay

He gets inside to stare at her
The sleeping mouth
The mouth that knows
The secret you
Always you
A smile to hide the fear away
Oh smear this man across the walls
Like strawberries and cream
It's the only way to be

Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But I've stayed away too long this time
And I've got too big to fit this time

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark


Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

You're such a strange girl
I think you come from another world
You're such a strange girl
I really don't understand a word
You're such a strange girl
I'd like to shake you around and around
You're such a strange girl

I'd like
To turn you
All upside down
You're such a
Strange girl
The way you look like you do
You're such a strange girl
I want
To be with you

I think I'm falling
I think I'm falling in
I think I'm falling in love with you
With you

You're such a strange girl
I think you come from another world
You're such a strange girl
I really don't understand a word
You're such a strange girl
I'd like to shake you around and around
You're such a strange girl

I'd like
To turn you
All upside down
You're such a
Strange girl
The way you look like you do
You're such a strange girl
I want
To be with you

I think I'm falling
I think I'm falling in
I think I'm falling in love with you
With you

And I'd love to touch the sky tonight
I'd love to touch the sky
So take me in your arms
And lift me like a child
And hold me up so high
And never let me go
Take me take me in your arms tonight

Hold me hold me up so high
And never let me down
Hold me hold me up so high
To touch the sky just one more time

Take me in your arms tonight
Take me in your arms just one more time

Just one more time

And I'd love to touch the sky tonight
I'd love to touch the sky
So take me in your arms
And lift me like a child
And hold me up so high
And never let me go
Take me take me in your arms tonight

Hold me hold me up so high
And never let me down
Hold me hold me up so high
To touch the sky just one more time

Take me in your arms tonight
Take me in your arms just one more time

Just one more time

She walked out of her house
And looked around at all the gardens
That looked back at her house
Like all the faces that quiz when you smile

And he was standing at the corner
Where the road turned dark
A part of shiny wet
Like blood the rain fell black down on the street

And kissed his feet she fell
Her head an inch away from heaven
And her face pressed tight
And all around the night sang out like cockatoos

"There are a thousand things" he said
"I'll never say those things to you again"
And turning on his heel
He left a trace of bubbles bleeding in his stead

And in her head
A picture of a boy
Who left her lonely in the rain
And all around the night sang out like cockatoos

A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
Wakes me up at quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
With a stranger lying next to me
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
I see no further now than this dream
The trembling hands of the trembling man
Hold my mouth to hold in a scream

I try to think to make it slow
If only here is where I go
If this is real I have to see
I turn on fire And next to me
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It's so smooth it even feels like skin
It tells me how it feels to be new

Tells me how it feels to be new
A thousand voices whisper it true
Tells me how it feels to be new
And every voice belongs
Every voice belongs to you

A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
Wakes me up at quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before

she said
and threw her arms around my neck

and i promise you
i promise that i'll run away with you
i'll run away with you

spinning on that dizzy edge
i kissed her face and kissed her head
and dreamed of all the different ways i had
to make her glow
why are you so far away?
she said
why won't you ever know that i'm in love with you?
that i'm in love with you?

you
soft and only
you
lost and lonely
you
strange as angels
dancing in the deepest oceans
twisting in the water
you're just like a dream...
you're just like a dream...

daylight licked me into shape
i must have been asleep for days
and moving lips to breathe her name
i opened up my eyes
and found myself alone
alone
alone
above a raging sea
that stole the only girl i loved
and drowned her deep inside of me

you
soft and only
you
lost and lonely
you
just like heaven

She met him Saturday
He stole her heart away
Twenty-four Sunday
They didn't chat at all
Romantic Monday
Tuesday, a better day
But Wednesday to Saturday
Don't know why he didn't call

Oh, I wonder where you've gone
Oh, did I do something wrong

You said it's all about me
You tell me what's the truth
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier to be with you
Is it all about me
Cause I'm trying to be cool
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier just to be with you

Phone rang on Sunday
He's talking differently
I guess she'll put it down
To experience
He said he's sorry
That he's been so busy
She said don't worry
Even though it made no sense

Oh, I wonder where you've gone
Oh, what did I do wrong

You said it's all about me
You tell me what's the truth
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier to be with you
Is it all about me
Cause I'm trying to be cool
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier just to be with you

You're just somebody new
That I don't know at all
But in the moment I got caught up
That's what people do
Now you've turned out the lights
Did I misread the signs
So what's happening
You gotta know what I'm goin' through

Oh, I wonder where you've gone
Oh, What did I do wrong

You said it's all about me
You tell me what's the truth
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier to be with you
Is it all about me
'Cause I'm trying to be cool
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier just to be with you

You said it's all about
You said it's all about me
You tell me what's the truth
I'm happy to be free
But I'm happier just to be with you

You said it's all about
You said it's all about me

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Go on go on
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Don't walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see
Come back come back
Come back to me

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Without you

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Go on go on
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Don't walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see
Come back come back
Come back to me

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Without you

If only tonight we could sleep
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe

Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms

And the rain would cry
As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end

Don't let it end

If only tonight we could sleep
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe

Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms

And the rain would cry
As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end

Don't let it end

You're delicious
Dreaming
Slack jawed
Green eyed
Rub my nose in icing sugar
Smooth as
When this cold and deadly blade
Kisses the fruit
So soft and gently breathing
Under your skin

Oh I'll empty you
I'll empty you
As empty as a boy can be

As empty as a boy can be

You're delicious
Dreaming
Slack jawed
Green eyed
Rub my nose in icing sugar
Smooth as
When this cold and deadly blade
Kisses the fruit
So soft and gently breathing
Under your skin

Oh I'll empty you
I'll empty you
As empty as a boy can be

As empty as a boy can be

You want to know why I hate you
Well I'll try and explain
Remember that day in paris
When we wandered through the rain
And promised to each other
That we'll always think the same
And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one

And stopped just as the sun set
And waited for the night
Aside a gliterring building
Of glittering glass and burning light

And in the road before us
Stood a weary grayish man
He held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags
And thinner than air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you

The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!"
The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She shimmers like a star!"
The child's eyes eyes said nothing
But a mute and utter joy
And filled my heart with shame for us
At the way we are

I turned to look at you
To read my thoughts upon your face
And gazed so deeply into your eyes
So beautiful and strange
Till you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream
"I hate these people staring
Make them go away from here"

The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!"
The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She glitters like a star!"
The child's eyes eyes said nothing
But a quiet and utter joy
And filled my heart with sadness
For the way we are

And this is why I hate you
And how I understand
That no one ever knows or loves another
Or loves another

You want to know why I hate you
Well I'll try and explain
Remember that day in paris
When we wandered through the rain
And promised to each other
That we'll always think the same
And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one

And stopped just as the sun set
And waited for the night
Aside a gliterring building
Of glittering glass and burning light

And in the road before us
Stood a weary grayish man
He held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags
And thinner than air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you

The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She shimmers like a star!"

the first time i saw lightning strike
i saw it underground
six deep feet below the street
the sky came crashing down
for a second that place was lost in space
then everything went black
i left that basement burning
and i never went back

the second time i saw it strike
i saw it at sea
it lit up all the fish like rain
and rained them down on me
for a second that boat was still afloat
then everything went black
i left it underwater
and i never went back

hey hey hey!!!
but i like it when that lightning comes
hey hey hey!!!
yes ilike it a lot
hey hey hey!!!
yes i'm jumping like a jumping jack
dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
feeling hot hot hot!!!

the third time i saw lightning strike
it hit me in bed
it threw me around
and left me for dead
for a second that room was on the moon
then everything went black
i left that house on fire
and i never went back

hey hey hey!!!
but i like it when that lightning comes
hey hey hey!!!
yes ilike it a lot
hey hey hey!!!
yes i'm jumping like a jumping jack
dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
feeling hot hot hot!!!

Sometimes there's nothing to feel
Sometimes there's nothing to hold
Sometimes there's no time to run away
Sometimes you just feel so old

The times it hurts when you cry
The times it hurts just to breathe
And then it seems like there's no one left
And all you want is to sleep

Fight fight fight
Just push it away
Fight fight fight
Just push it until it breaks
Fight fight fight
Don't cry at the pain
Fight fight fight
Or watch yourself burn again
Fight fight fight
Don't howl like a dog
Fight fight fight
Just fill up the sky
Fight fight fight
Fight 'til you drop
Fight fight fight
And never never never never never never stop

Fight fight fight

So when the hurting starts
And when the nightmares begin
Remember
You can fill up the sky
You don't have to give in
You don't have to give in

Never give in

Sometimes there's nothing to feel
Sometimes there's nothing to hold
Sometimes there's no time to run away
Sometimes you just feel so old

The times it hurts when you cry
The times it hurts just to breathe
And then it seems like there's no one left
And all you want is to sleep

Fight fight fight
Just push it away
Fight fight fight
Just push it until it breaks
Fight fight fight
Don't cry at the pain
Fight fight fight
Or watch yourself burn again
Fight fight fight
Don't howl like a dog
Fight fight fight
Just fill up the sky
Fight fight fight
Fight 'til you drop
Fight fight fight
And never never never never never never stop

Fight fight fight

So when the hurting starts
And when the nightmares begin
Remember
You can fill up the sky
You don't have to give in
You don't have to give in

Never give in

I've waited hours for this,
I've made myself so sick,
I wish I'd stayed
Asleep today,
Thought this day would never end
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me
Just try to see in the dark,
Just try to make it work,
I feel the fear
Before you're here,
Make the shapes come much too close,
Pull my eyes out,
Hold my breath and wait,
'Til I shake
But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream
I've waited hours for this,
I made myself so sick
I wished I'd stayed
Asleep today
Never thought this day would end,
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me,
But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this,
I've made myself so sick,
I wish I'd stayed
Asleep today,
Thought this day would never end
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me
Just try to see in the dark,
Just try to make it work,
I feel the fear
Before you're here,
Make the shapes come much too close,
Pull my eyes out,
Hold my breath and wait,
'Til I shake
But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream
I've waited hours for this,
I made myself so sick
I wished I'd stayed
Asleep today
Never thought this day would end,
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me,
But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream

yeah i know who you remind me of
a girl i think i used to know
yeah i'd see her when the days got colder
on those days when it felt like snow

you know i even think that she stared like you
she used to just stand there and stare
and roll her eyes right up to heaven
and make like i just wasn't there

and she used to fall down a lot
that girl was always falling
again and again
and i used to sometimes try to catch her
but never even caught her name

and sometimes we would spend the night
just rolling about on the floor
and i remember even though it felt soft at the time
i always used to wake up sore...

you know i even think that she smiled like you
she used to just stand there and smile
and her eyes would go all sort of far away
and stay like that for quite a while

and i remember she used to fall down a lot
that girl was always falling
again and again
and i used to sometimes try to catch her
but never even caught her name

yes i sometimes even tried to catch her
but never even caught her name

The soundtrack to Ric Gallup's (Simon's brother) film Carnage Visors, which was used as the opening piece for the Faith tour, also known as The Picture Tour.

Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm howling inside
Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm going wild

And all I want
Is to be with you again
And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll
And all I want
Is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a doll

Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm losing control
Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm getting so low

And all I want
Is to be with you again
And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll
And all I want
Is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a doll

That's all I want
Just to hold you like a doll

Just to hold you like a doll
That's all I want

And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll

Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm howling inside
Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm going wild

And all I want
Is to be with you again
And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll
And all I want
Is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a doll

Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm losing control
Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm getting so low

And all I want
Is to be with you again
And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll
And all I want
Is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a doll

That's all I want
Just to hold you like a doll

Just to hold you like a doll
That's all I want

And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?
For how much longer can I cry like this?

A thousand wasted hours a day
Just to feel my heart for a second
A thousand hours just thrown away
Just to feel my heart for a second

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?
For how much longer can I cry like this?

A thousand wasted hours a day
Just to feel my heart for a second
A thousand hours just thrown away
Just to feel my heart for a second

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?

Say goodbye on a night like this
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
it goes darker still please stay
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
As you walk away

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world

Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still this touch
And the smile
And the shake of your head
And the smile
And the shake of your head

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before

Oh I want to change it all
Oh I want to change

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before

Oh I want to change it all
Oh I want to change

Say goodbye on a night like this
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
it goes darker still please stay
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
As you walk away

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world

Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still this touch
And the smile
And the shake of your head
And the smile
And the shake of your head

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before

Oh I want to change it all
Oh I want to change

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before

Oh I want to change it all
Oh I want to change

I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating
I was wrapped up in a blanket
I was grey
Damp and sore
The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic
(Like I think I'm at the racing
Like the night before)
I remember one girl standing
One was sitting on the ground
One was holding me up
The other pulling me down
And I couldn't decide which one was real
Because there wasn't a sound
(Like I was pregnant again... )

"Don't move don't blink don't think don't even breathe" she said
"Or the photograph will spoil
And cut you off at the head"
So I was sucking
I was sucking like a fat lady would
But I couldn't hold it down another second
(Bleagh!)
"Don't twitch don't shout don't think don't even breathe" she said
"Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at the head"
So I was sweating
I was sweating like a fat lady would...
And I woke up
With a man inside my mouth
(This won't hurt at all... )
