Les soleils couchants
Revetent les champs Les canaux, la ville entiere D'hyacinthe et d'or Le monde s'endort Dans une chaude lumiere La, tout n'est qu'ordre et beaute Luxe, calme et volupte Took a taxi with Jean last night It was late and it was raining We live far away from each other And there was no desire I think it was more the dark night Or some lonely feeling When we got home, we were alone We fell in love with that feeling When we got home, we were alone We fell in love with that feeling Rain since Tuesday Barely found my way to the shop For the milk in the morning And the news of the world had turned around Then I heard you calling Saw you turn the darkened corner Then you were gone When I've got home, I was alone I fell in love with that feeling When I've got home, I was alone And I counted stars on the ceiling When I've got home, I was alone And I fell in love with that feeling When I've got home, I was alone And I counted stars on the ceiling I fell in love with that feeling When I've got home, I was alone I counted stars on the ceiling I fell in love with that feeling I fell in love with that feeling The setting suns Adorn the fields The canals, the whole city With hyacinth and gold The world falls asleep In a warm glow of light There all is order and beauty Luxury, peace, and pleasure |

It's hard to remember days
Mornings lost in a chronic haze Breath is fast and the trains are slow, I barely feel it though All day long I fantasize In the dark behind of other people's eyes And then they disappear Words get lost in the atmosphere The truth, I'll tell, I'll tell the truth Sixteen on a summer roof You ask for the facts Well I'll need proof Outside on skin That crimson dress too thin All winter up her woods I touched it, it felt good All I want is my radio [2x] He speaks in a voice I know Sounds like sound when the tide is low We kiss to the voice each night Bathed in pale reactor light I cry when the morning comes Count my blessings and my thumbs Say: ""Thanks god for whatever comes"" That briefly cross my fingers All I want is a room somewhere Run away from the chemoware And when I go my radio Will make a melody that lingers All I want is my radio... Station ninety-nine point 'O' [99.0] Tell the DJ: ""DJ keep it slow"" Light to fade before you know It's hard to remember days Mornings lost in a chronic haze Breath is fast and the trains are slow I barely feel it though All day long I fantasize In the dark behind of other people's eyes And then they disappear Words get lost in the atmosphere The truth, I'll tell, I'll tell the truth Sixteen on a summer roof You ask for the facts Well I give you proof Here's the truth It's all I want, Is my radio All I want is my radio [...repeat innumerable times] ...tell the DJ: DJ keep it slow ...light to fade before you know |

Going, going, going, going....gone!
Still hooked on cellophane Still hanging 'round the mall and all Each penny numbs the pain Sends you gently for the fall I followed you last night I saw you turn your lights out I knew it wasn't right I watched in fear and doubt It gotten to be that way (going going gone) What did you do today (going going gone) Look good in that red dress I bet the boyfriend's happy Your face is scarred with age You're twenty three But how can that be You're still hooked on cellophane Killing time with gin and lime Each second numbs the pain Love's just another rhyme It's gotten to be that way (going going gone) I'm scared but I'm okay (going going gone) There's no where to move on There's no where to move on All I see again All I see All I see again All I see All I see again All I see All I see again Is me everywhere It's me... Dah da dah da do dut dah Dah da dah da do dut dah Dah da dah da do dut dah Dah da dah da do dut dah Dah da dah da do dut dah Dah da dah da do dut dah |

Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet? When in this charming car This charming man Why pamper life's complexities When the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat? I would go out tonight But I haven't got a stitch to wear This man said, "It's gruesome That someone so handsome should care" A jumped-up pantry boy who never knew his place He said, "Return the ring" He knows so much about He knows so much about these things And I would go out tonight But I haven't got a stitch to wear Oh, yeah This man said, "It's gruesome That someone so handsome should care" |

the rain fell hard on the roofs that day
you telephone from far away I see the ocean from my room all I could say was "are you coming home soon?" the static whisper in my ear but in a moment your voice was clear "I need some time," you said to me that's when I knew you were gonna make me lonely you were gonna make me wish for the time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away you're gonna make me wish for the time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away I walk awhile before I sleep, count the secrets that I keep I hope for more, I know for sure I fall apart before I weep I disconnect the telephone 'cause I can choose to be alone I'll get more done, I'll have some fun, pretend you're not the only one and I'm never gonna wish for the time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away you're gonna make me wish for a time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away |

"The whole of England must be searching for me. Well, sooner or later, they're going to find me."
"Never. Because, you see...they're looking for you, alright. But nobody's looking for me." International rock star That would make the day go down easy Crucified in my sports car I've got high hopes that things end famously And then there's love To keep keeping you down You find release In the big time International rock star That would make the pain go away The last one standing at the bar Is the dream that'll have to do for today And then there's love To keep keeping you down You find some peace In the big time (It's funny...) Until then Until then Until then (This is getting easy...) I'll keep you Locked up tight In my collection "How long are you going to keep me here?" "I don't know. It depends." "On what? On my falling in love with you? If that's what you think, I'll be here 'til I die. Now go away. Go away! Take it over..." |

The bar closes early on the Sabbath day
So me and my kid we hit the park to play Then it'd start to rain so we'd walk home again He asked why he was born I don't know what to say I don't feel guilty and I don't feel sad This mother fucking life is the best he's had I said I've been there sonny and it ain't that bad I took my hits from the shits back when I was a lad So long ago and even though I tried I couldn't make him see the life he had cast in front of me And even though I cried I couldn't make him be the very thing I needed His mother'd make a scene when I come home late She look like she's dying but she's twenty eight I never loved that whore I never will no more Except for a month back in '84 The jam was playing and my heart stood still gazing at a shadow on the window sill So long ago and even though I tried I couldn't make her see I wasn't quite the man she thought I'd be And even though I cried I couldn't make her be the very thing I needed And even though I tried I couldn't make her see I wasn't quite the man she thought I'd be And even though I cried I couldn't make her be the very thing I needed Could she be the very thing I needed? Could she be the very thing the very thing Push yourself away from your one best friend Who's going to love you when you reach the end? Who will? Who will? Who will? |

True
What the man say is true All he's been telling you Vapor trails align at evening time We flew In from the Cote D'Azur Wearing our shades and sure We were good to go in our Peugeot We die Each day and every night Follow the swallows' flight And we drank champagne like it was rain We try Try to outlast the day Let that lone drummer play Hell, I ain't afraid of the choice I made It's true All of this is true All I've been telling you From this rhyme it's the killing time, it's true It's true, it's true, it's true... True, true, true... Helped by navigation so we went to the map Half the way to China and we never came back Helped by navigation so we went to the map Half the way to China and we never came back That night Under the vineyard sky We kissed and the world cried As we hit descend and reached the end So young Deep in our hearts we knew All I've been telling you is true It's true All of this is true All I've been telling you From this rhyme it's the killing time, it's true All of this is true! |

This is the seventh time,
And I've got seven reasons. And almost everytime, It ends up with you leaving. Just give it one more chance, It's all about the truth. Don't close your eyes at night, Till our mouths have kissed. I'll count the the steps to happiness, I've missed, Recall, One is the touch, Two is the feeling, Three is the answer, Four the meaning, Five and six are the devil's kicks, So seven better be heaven. I saw you turn to him, As the last guests were leaving. And then you caught my eyes, Bowed your head in grieving, And said, One is the touch, Two is the feeling, Three is the answer, Four the meaning, Five and six are the devil's kicks, So seven better be heaven. One is the touch, Two is the feeling, Three is the answer, Four the meaning, Five and six are the devil's kicks, So seven better be heaven. |

Come around and say you love me
Hang your heart and lights above me Is that too much to ask for When the night descends upon us Take a shower, dry your hair by the furnace I'll watch you from the corner Telephones and old typewriters Words of love along the wires Lets make it work tonight Telegraphs and birds that fly Through air so still you hear me sigh Lets make it work tonight Tonight Tonight Then furious you threw the picture I cap in hand, an awful mixture That kind of hard love is the worst I try to speak But you don't hear me When your gone You still feel near me For awhile For a little while I try telephones and old typewriters Words of love along the wires But nothing is working tonight I try telegraphs and birds that fly Through air so still you hear me sigh But nothing is working tonight Tonight Please let's make it work tonight Please let's make it work tonight Tonight |

In the year of my decline
Sucking freezies in the rain Driving twisted in the suburbs And then driving back again Seventeen and half alive Headlights illuminate the school Inhale the powder from the science class Yeah nearly dying felt so cool Your face is all that hasn't changed You're reassembled just like me But when I reach to touch your hand You stroke mine gently All I want is one more chance To be young and wild and free All I want is one more chance to show you You were right for me You were right for me I'm back in gym and it's the same As my name tag floats away I had six too many drinks last night, yes And thats why I made you stay Plus I always wanted you You liked to rock it in your car You said you didn't understand me Because I always tried to see too far Well "Tainted Love's" too fast to dance to So let's leave them all behind They hated us with everything they had And we hated them in kind All I want is one more chance To be young and wild and free All I want is one more chance to show you You were right for me All I want is one more chance To be young and wild and free All I want is one more chance to show you You were right for me Reunion, reunion... |

You look so good in the clothes of a poser
And when you smiled all the kids fell apart here I know a place where it's warm and it's dry, dear Let me take you there North of the river all the streets are the same We can pretend that they don't know our name And the heat is turned all the way to full So don't pretend that you don't feel the pull I am trying to say What I want to say Without having to say "I love you" You look so good in the shoes of an outcast I kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last But then I knew you, I knew you, I knew you I really knew you We fell apart in the parties of the empty heart We danced the junkies in the shadows of bad modern art We clicked our heels and we wished we were home One more tab and your silk hits the chrome I am trying to say What I want to say Without having to say "I love you" I am trying to say What I want to say Without having to say "I love you" Springs comes in when I'm rolling up another one I draw the curtains in the glare of the same old sun We are collapsed in the act of just being here Three blues, two greens and a beer... We are collapsed in the act of just being here Three blues, two greens and a beer... I am trying to say What I want to say Without having to say "I love you" I am trying to say What I want to say Without having to say "I love you" |

Still young like that I count the lines Beside your mouth that smiles now My arms reach up as you go down With buried heads we both forget All of the past and its regret Wind picks up, the window shakes We won't hear the morning break You will cry And I will cry 'Cause all the love's Alive tonight Neighborhoods will try to dream While you and me we hold and lean Onto bodies slick and charged Together just one beating heart All around us quiet now We hear the leaves fall to the ground Morning light upon our bed An ally while I catch your breath You will cry And I will cry 'Cause all the love's Alive tonight You will cry (repeat) |

First time, in the backyard
Underneath the plastic sheeting Outside, it was pouring And we were drunk as shit Next time, at a party When all our friends were there There's nothing like their mattresses Underneath the stairs Third time, in the doorway With the lights all on around us And the audience beside us And the old man watching from the trees Fourth time, I said that's that You've agreed to give me everything Now I've got to ask you one more thing Keep doing that forever Fifth time in your bedroom And finally, we rested And you leaned upon your elbow And began to speak to me But you stopped yourself and kissed me And I grabbed your wrist and told you I know, I know, I know I feel the same as you And everyday, it's changed since then In every way, I've changed since then And everyday, it's changed since then In every way, I've changed since then Driven outside I've driven you Driven outside I've driven you |

The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear The pleasure part, the afterthought, the missing stone in the graveyard The time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to become a man The dust at dawn is rained upon, attaches itself to everyone No one is spared, no one is clean It travels places you've never been or seen before The night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear You drop a coin into the sea, and shout out ""Please come back to me"" You name your child after your fear, and tell them ""I have brought you here"" The scary part, the aftershock, the moment it takes to fall apart The time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to destroy a man The ecstasy, the being free, the big black cloud over you and me And after that, the upwards fall, and were we angels after all? I don't know, I don't know... The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear You drop a coin into the sea, and shout out ""Please come back to me"" You name your child after your fear, and tell them ""I have brought you here"" The night starts here... |

you never afraid that we could be falling All our friends would say, maybe we should wait they can't see what's coming And to this day when everything breaks you are the anchor that holds me And that is why we'll always make it How I know your face all the ways you move you come in I can read you You're my favourite book All the things you say the way you shift your eyes I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive How I know your face all the ways you move you come in I can read you You're my favourite book When the days are long and the thunder with the storm can always get you crying You can make my bed I'll fall into it, shattered but not lonely Because I never knew a home, until I found your hands when I'm weathered you're always my best friend And that is why we'll always make it How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in I can read you You're my favourite book All the things you say the way you shift your eyes I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive And when we're making love I'd give up everything for your touch How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you You're my favourite book All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes I never knew there was someone to make me come alive When you go to work all the day I wait For you to come back recount our time, in our little place our little place our little place our little place our little place |

I looked at you and knew You were the only thing that mattered There was no one for me but you In Harmony Street we beat a man Just for standing there I held my breath as I watched you swing Then run your fingers through your hair Oh, how could anyone not love the terrible things you do Oh, how could anyone not want to try and help you In Bermondsey in Burberry, you held me at the barricade, the pigs arrived with tear gas And I wept at the mistakes we made We stalked the streets like animals And danced as windows shattered For our island for the thrill of it for everything that mattered Oh, how could anyone not want to rip it all apart Oh, how could anyone not love your cold, black heart I found you on a Saturday, and that was where I lost you You had finally walk away because of what it cost you years later when I saw your face In line to catch the morning train you looked like you'd been softened Like you never really loved the pain Oh, how could anyone not finally diminish The thrill of blood comes instantly There's only darkness at the finish Meet me at the barricade I'll be at the barricade Meet me at the barricade the love died, but the hate can't fade I'll be at the barricade the love died, but the hate won't fade |

Stuck on the wall
the note that you left I wait and stall for the moment Your reckless heart you know you got it I crawl to bed, I try to sort it sort it sort it sort it sort it sort it sort it Out of the fog, a colder morning I wanted to call for nothing Your careless heart you know you got it Into the past, I try to forget forget forget forget forget forget forget When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious Blanket of cloud, the sky hovering The winter is long and forgiving You melt your doubt and fall into me I find your mouth and try to hold it hold it hold it hold it hold it hold it hold it blame your love you know is harmless We're both wise for falling The summer arrives the gardens alive With the mud and mortar we're going to save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it save it When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious When we go down your loss of courage When we go down you're so ferocious |

You can write my place out
Of the life you make And all then things that mattered When you knew my face Cross off all the ways I failed you Because I failed you But I'm still in your blood I'm still in your blood The time when all our mistakes made sense You needed it The time when all the lying You sympathized with sin All this sabotage and blame Well I can take it Because I just want you back I just want you back Temporary battles Can take up half your life How you dig your bed Will it help you sleep at night Forgiveness like a blanket That you want to forget But you still crumble at my name You still crumble at my name The time when all our mistakes made sense You needed it The time when all the lying You sympathized with sin All this sabotage and blame Well I can take it Because I just want you back I just want you back The time when all our mistakes made sense You needed it The time when all the lying You sympathized with sin All this sabotage and blame Well I can take it Because I just want you back I just want you back The time when all our mistakes made sense You needed it The time when all the lying You sympathized with sin All this sabotage and blame Well I can take it Because I just want you back I just want you back |

When you can't get up
to the cold morning light But you don't get to sleep in still dreaming And everybody only wants to fight You're up against never being right When the worries of the world hold your feet And there's nothing left to believe in Today today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong Today today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong There's nothing more to take in going wrong Old pale memories of someone you knew Keep crawling through the back of your mind stealing time In the daylight you're crossing all your wires You never knew just how to put out a fire The closet's been shaking with bones Little reminders that you're out on your own Today Today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in going wrong Today Today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong Today Today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong Today Today is going to be a better one There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong There's nothing more to take in That's going wrong |

Wake up Say good morning to
that sleepy person lying next to you If there's no one there, then there's no one there, but at least the war is over It's us yes, we're back again here to see you through, 'til the days end And if the night comes, and the night will come, well at least the war is over Lift your head and look out the window Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go Listen The birds sing Listen The bells ring All the living are dead and the dead are all living The war is over and we are beginning Gridlock on the parkway now the television man is here to show you how The channel fades to snow it's off to work you go but at least the war is over She's gone, she left before you woke as you ate last night neither of you spoke Dishes, tv, bed the darkness filled with dread but at least the war is over Lift your head and look out the window Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go Listen The birds sing Listen The bells ring All the living are dead and the dead are all living The war is over and we are beginning We won, or we think we did when you went away you were just a kid And if you lost it all and you lost it, well at least the war is over Lift your head and look out the window Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go Listen The birds sing Listen The bells ring All the living are dead and the dead are all living The war is over and we are beginning Here it comes Here comes the first day Here it comes Here comes the first day It starts up in our bedroom after the war It starts up in our bedroom After the war After the war After the war After the war After the war After the war After the war After the war |

The basement's filled with cold
And the lamp's burning on the floor Lost you today, forgot to say That you can ask for more The wind has shifted faces And the water level's low All these crops, My body's yours As the summer falls (chorus) Tumble through, Burning through the fire Could I, see you leave?--Y'see, Make me feel always, For always, It's you, that I see(k) Lunatics get lucky And everybody knows The willows will hang their heads And the bittersweet row From where I sit, With your back turned-- Here it's just begun! (chorus 2x) It's getting much too late On the bus back to the city The day is ending, ending dark And maybe so are we When the final summer ends, If I could come back down to earth I would only live my life again What would that be worth? If I can only kiss you once again What would that be worth? If I could fly back down to earth What would that be worth? |
