Turin Brakes

Opened my eyes had a dream last night that both my arms were broken,
Evening time,
Help me now or hold me down, i feel the world is tumbling,
Spiralling down,
Oh my love i can`t let go,
Somethings wrong i can`t let go,
Natures cruel she laughs at me,
As i make my way through the century,
As i slowly turn to house dust,
Tumbling down,
The rain comes down like a victory,
In sheets of shining memory,
Over and over,
Circling around,
Oh my love i can`t let go,
Somethings wrong i can`t let go,
Natures cruel shes laughs at me,
Almost too much for my heart,
When it rains,
Oh tears my soul apart,
When it rains,
It rains so slowly
In the city,
Where i`m from.

Cubscouts are screaming,
Needing icescreaming & all the pleasures of June
I’m in a parked car.
Flowers seem friendly & people in hall ways feel walls.
Now it is night time maybe we’re cruising avoiding the anti-cruise.
Oh I don’t really know where we are.
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else,
By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling & feeling oblivion.
Once in a while the lie in the laughter can burn through a hole in my ears,
Like a man with glasses catching a sunbeam and burning the skin of a kid.
Hypereal fragments disturbing the stagnants of almighty fear.
Well I’ll just go under the water.
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else,
By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling & feeling oblivion.
So don’t leave me here on my own.
So don’t leave me here on my own.
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else,
By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling & feeling oblivion

Two black line streaming out like a guidance line.
Put one foot on the road now where the sybourgs are driving,
With the WD-40 in their veins the screeching little brakes complain.
With the briefcase empty and the holes in my shoes,
I try to stay friendly for the sugary abuse.
So tell my secretary now to hold all of my calls,
I believe I can hear through these walls.
Oh please save me, save me from myself.
I can’t be the only one stuck on the shelf.
You said you’d always fall for the underdog.

Well I’ve been dreaming of jetstreams and kicking up dust,
A thirty seven thousand foot of wonderlust
And with skyline number 9 ticked off in my mind,
Oh can you hear me screaming out now through the telephone line.

Oh please save me, save me from myself.
I can’t be the only one stuck on the shelf.
You said you’d always fall for the underdog

Well all my colours bleed for you
Can’t you see them running?
My hazy hills glow green for you
You could just call me, you know?
On my mobile number cause I’m always in
And I was just thinking about you on emergency 72 72 72 yeah
Well all my lust comes down to dust
Can’t you see it crumbling?
My hazy hill come down to rust
But you could call me, you know?
You’re pulling me out of this whirlpool
Your making me breathe again
And I was just thinking about you on emergency 72 72 72 yeah
And I just can’t forget 72
And I just can’t forget 72
72 72 72 72 72 yeah 72
72 72 72 72 72 yeah 72
72 72 72 72 72 yeah 72
72 72 72 72 72 yeah 72

So future boy where are you from my time machine crashed over yonder
Syphillis is a bitch but contracting HIV is much worse.
Why are you pushing info into me,
I have no need for it, I’m from the stars.
I thought you’d like to know the scoop
I’m taking babies back with me, yeah.
I’m taking them back home
so they can see there’s a much better place.
I’ve got a sister with an open mind and my friends are all junkies
But there still my friends, as long as they don’t use monkeys,
We enjoy the heat of stolen days in the summer of ’93.
Well the future boy said I’ve got friends but you know sometimes
it all depends on how tall they are against yourself.
I am the future boy
My friends have all gone and left me
so I decided to come here and see myself as a baby,
but it looks like I’m stuck here this time, oh shit,
I’m gonna miss my friends.
No your still the future boy,
Yes I’m still the future boy
We’ll build you a time machine to get back home.
Still the future boy…..
Well I’m still the future boy

So take the fast road and get going now
Before you leave no trace
Time in this place is closer than my friends
Remember my eyes not my face
Ain't no sense has no sense it invents
Another man unfolds
I'm standing next to myself the sink
Staring into the black hole

I panic at the quiet times
Decisions at the door
I panic at the quiet times
Fate leaves me to much more.

On the inside it hurts less
The outside seems so cold
I need to climb
Gotta find some tenderness
Before I get too old
Sun come from behind, hurts my eyes
It dries my hair so nice
I watch the boiling sea meet the open sky
But my soul still feels like it's ice

I panic at the quiet times
Decisions at the door
I panic at the quiet times
My fate leaves me to much more

Blindfold me tie me up or tie me down yeah take me anywhere
Keep your ears close to the ground
Listen to me but don’t die laughing
And all things must end yeah
But I can see my fate in your eyes
As I’m stitched up by my friends again
They just can’t defend the state of things between

You and me
Used to be on fire

So slip off your shackles
Cause you don’t need them where we’re going
See what happens just happens
There ain’t no straight lines in the state of things
So try to cling on for dear life
And don’t forget the world keeps on turning round despite

You and me
Used to be on fire

Now look now
See when we’re going
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know

Wine bottle why are you weary?
And why are my eyes so grey?
Semi-circle people are pointing
And staring up to the sky

And the dogs are all gone
And my muesli is mouldy
And the saints they are sinners in their songs
And the crickets they call to their rusted rainbow
I swear if you listen you might just hear our song

TV light flickers so fiercely
Bridging the gap between my eyes
Outside the rain is tapping my window
A jet trail left hanging in the sky

And the puddles reflect the sky in the morning
Then the pavements lead to another place
With one ear to the west
And then ocean beside me
I swear if you listen you could just hear our song
Electric sensations will not stay with us for long

Wine bottle why are you weary?
And why are my eyes so grey?
Semi-circle people are pointing
And staring up to the sky

And the dogs are all gone
And my muesli is mouldy
And the saints they are sinners in their songs
And the crickets they call to their rusted rainbow
I think if you listen you might just hear our song
Eclectic sensations will not be with us for long

I've got a rifle on my back
Swinging past the birch trees.
Well I set of a bomb way back there.
I don't care about nobody but me.
'Cause I ain't slack.
Ran back home and drunk all the wine.
Well I stole a bottle for myself.
With insects crawling in my hair.
The trees are black and I don? care.
'Cause I ain't slack
rescued a cat from a tree.
Its fur was all caked in dirt
But I killed it dead for liking me.
Yeah I stole a car and drove to town.
Well I ain? slack

There's a road with two yellow lines
They go on for years
And when people there smile and wave
It's not like, back home

In their doorway, where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my

But times are fierce and times are fine
Yeah, it goes that way
But, down some highway
Yeah, down some lonely road
In that old fashioned way

In the garden, yeah, where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my

But the darkness let's him see here
All of the people they never knew
So, float into space

Falling through puddles and places I've never been
Will my soul be angry?
When you die do you feel alright?

In the garden, yeah, where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my

There's a road with two yellow lines
It goes on for years
And when people there smile and wave
Oh, it's not like, back home

In their doorway, where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my room

Mind over money bent over backwards
Light up my life like a very last cigarette
Time after time dear we will just lie here
Staring at ceilings it doesn’t really matter where we are

Wearing a smile like its going out of style
Look at your self , theres nothing in there
Just put points on a grave stone
Can u see yourself sinking
Staring at ceilings it doesn’t really matter where you are

That’s alright I warned myself
keep blood on the inside and nowhere else
up on a shelf that’s where I need to be
la da da dee

I need to get Something
I can’t sleep for red eye
Internal combustion can that really happen?
I take it back yeah whatever I did yeah I didn’t mean it
I was only joking

But what does this matter in the grand scheming sky
All that I multiply adds up to nothing

that’s alright I warned myself
keep blood on the inside and nowhere else
up on a shelf that’s where I need to be
la da da dee

Sitting here staring out the window
Traffic always makes me feel like I’m coming home.
Cold blood bleeding still at least I’m breathing.
Patiently waiting clinging to my mobile phone.
Cracked skulls with a creepy mind inside.
I’m planning the greatest of escapes you know.
Patiently waiting in the line.
Soon I’m gonna stand up
Yeah I’m gonna rear up and there’s no escape.
Lonely planet

Cold blood bleeding still at least I’m breathing.
Patiently waiting soon I’m gonna take control.
Cracked skulls with a creepy mind inside.
I’m planning the greatest of escapes you know.
Patiently waiting in the line.
Soon I’m gonna stand up
Yeah I’m gonna rear up and there’s no escape.
Lonely planet

Oh its too late lonely planet

All in all, it's been blast
But fame and fortune never last
So we'll take refuge in the sand
They burned our churches to the ground

But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sun
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun

We may have sold our very souls
But the ghosts inside the radio
They warned us once and they told us twice
This life's never very nice

But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sun
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun

The credit card skyline rises high
Crushing the sky, it multiplies
They're buying up souls to fill their holes
But we know the one thing they don't know

But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sun
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun

Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine)
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine)
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun
(Shine)
Shine on, the sun, the sun, the sun

oooh, oooh, oooh (x2)
sometimes just letting go is easier
and dead friends cant come back
they're gone and life goes on

if you try, you'll be alright
if you try, you'll be alright

been hanging around you
been catching the starlight
under this red moon
leaving the city tonight
we're finding our freedom
under this red moon
oh no, no, no, nooo

leave your woes behind
start the car and drive
deserts bring you home
the only roads you've known

if you try, you'll be alright
if

ooooh (x2)
inch by inch
i'm infected by your love
head to toe
i'm chemically changed
forever

oh take me back
to your house again, my love
I want to roam
through your fields again, my love
forever
ooooh (x2)

I feel like, i'm falling
i'm falling, for you
forever

from head to toe
i'm infected by your love
inch by inch
i'm chemically changed

my girl she's asleep now
fleas leave her, jump to the ground
through a train window
flickering like a film frame
twenty four times a second
me and my girl gonna make it if we try

cos i've been hanging around
my head in my hands
and my feet on the ground
it's been too long
been chasing tears
i'm gonna leave the city
im gonna set sail (x3)

wooooo, oh oh
i fell asleep with the fireflies
but let the moonlight pass me by
on this long and lifeless road we walk on
me and my girl go

Let's go fishing for a dream
Let's find some place new
Somewhere we can be ourselves
Some of the time
Lose your heart, I'll lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair, dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties, the red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
All of this world, is gonna see you shine
Dododo-dodo-do-do-do
Do-dododo-do-do
Do-dodo-do-dodo-do-do-do-do-doooo
Let's do loneliness in style
Let's put on moonlight mile
And feel those radio waves flow
And don't say you won't
Lose your heart, I'll lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair, dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties, the red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
All of this world, is gonna see you shine
Dododo-dodo-do-do-do
Do-dododo-do-do
Do-dodo-do-dodo-do-do-do-do-doooo
Oh lose your heart, and I'll lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair, dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties, the red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
All of this world, is gonna see you shine

The dad he was fifty, the kid was nine years old
he stood their like a miracle, with the kid's heart in his hold
i think i might be dying, atleast that's what i'm told
inside kid is crying, for the dream has just been sold

i'm only nine, i'm already feeling the strain
it seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
well it's just a losers game, dad
it's just a loser's game

come try and catch me, i'll catch me if you can
i'll be the first to miss the grip of your hairless boney hands

life isn't always easy
this we know my friends
I thought you knew where to go
but you were following me
so lets get lost in space
i feel this place
I'm stuck in the rat race
it's a lovely day to lose your way
and get stuck in the loop.....

over and over again, you could never make it stop (x4)

my old bones stroll along
railway track is oh so long
stem the stide, the nine to five
slowly eating me alive
but all night long, carry on
we're stumbling slowly to a lovely day to lose
