The House Of Love

"Did you read that the Beatles were more popular than Christ..."
- Unknown reporter
"You know we always enjoyed performing, it was sort of our buzz, and then I
always, I always felt that Beatles sort of did it, you know, when they were
big, they did it..."
- Mick Jagger
"...been proved by what's going on in the States, and the protest marches in
Grosvenor square in London. The only result of that was, a lot of smashed
heads..."
- John Lennon
Look at him shouting out
Loud as thunder out at sea
He wants a bomb
So do we
A bomb from the sky
Is the perfect crime
Shoulder on shoulder and heat
The Beatles and the Stones
Sucked the marrow out of bone
Put the V in Vietnam
The Beatles and the Stones
Made it good to be alone
To be alone
Look at me, proud of being
Proud of being seventeen
Locking in the pocket a smile
Soft from the school
Cut by the rule
Oh I'm dazed and I'm dazed and I'm dazed
The Beatles and the Stones
Sucked the marrow out of bone
Put the V in Vietnam
The Beatles and the Stones
Made it good to be alone
To be alone
The Beatles and the Stones
Sucked the marrow out of bone
Put the V in Vietnam
The Beatles and the Stones
Made it good to be alone
To be alone
To be alone
To be alone

Don't believe his heart,
I beg you please it lies
There's murder in the eyes of men
and treason in the sky
She crossed the room in honour
and took his words in vain
He smiled the smile of murder
And in his head, his hand
Take me to your sister in you and her is love
It's beautiful and soothing,
it's logic and it's sane
Take me through the evening,
on my 32nd floor
And I'll never ask for more
Money is the heartache, moral is the shame
Duty comes to those who love the numbers
and the name
So find the State of Israel,
find the State of Rome
Crush the fools, in huts of clay,
there's danger in the garden
Take me to your Station,
take me through your mind
Drop that code you give me,
just let me feel your mind
Take me through the evening,
on my 32nd floor
And I'll never ask for more

Hit me in the darkroom I've never loved before
screamed in lonely times
But I've never loved before
Take me to your sister in you and her is love
It's beautiful and soothing,
it's logic and it's sane
Help me through the evening,
on my 32nd floor
And I'll never ask for more

Bruised and I'm aching
Screwed to the floor
I'm high on the shock
I've closed off the door
Cut the heart of pain
Loaded with dice and shame
Where do you stop?
Why do you stop?
You'll just do the same again

Give me a crime
I'll show the love
A song to the lonely
A song from above
Wailing from wall to wall
Lucid as a doll
Kick down the legs
Bite on the tongue
You'll just do the same again

Bruised and I'm aching
I'm screwed to the floor
High on the shock
I've closed off the door
I've never been so sure
Of anyone's love before

Christine - Still walking at me
Still talking at me
Christine - Such a sense of loss
and the baby cried
Christine
Christine

And the whole world dragged us down
The whole world turned aside

Christine - You're in deep, pristine
- With a god-like glow
Christine - Christine - Heart and the glory and me
Chaos and the big sea

Christine - Still walking at me
Still talking at me
Christine
Christine
Christine

And the whole world dragged us down
Not a sonnet not a sound
And the whole world turned aside
The cruelest hand just turned an eye

Christine

When I get there I'll be ready
With a map and a pen - duty is a creed
There are lessons for the lonely
When I'm drunk in a room
That's when I think of you
Oh my baby - She went AWOL
Drove to a shop, never to return
And it broke me, like a flower baked in the sun
A hot Spanish sun
But I can't slow down
No I can't slow down
No I can't
What a story, not a volume
Just a tacky little ode in the corner of my mind
Maybe Preston in the winter
Drinking in the night - the cold English night
But I can't slow down
No I can't slow down
No I can't slow down
No I can't
So find out who you are
Take a train, use a car
You've got arms and you've got money
So find a finger and find out who you are
And there's a figure, he's so evil
With a black little eye and a pure white mind
And I'm so sorry when I see this
There's a lesson in the blood
The cold English blood
But I can't slow down
No I can't slow down
Slow down

No I can't slow down
Slow down
No I can't slow down
Slow down

With no father, and no son
He's a Christian - but not the one
With a guidance, like a lemming
Fell so deep in the sea
There's a glory in the brain
It's so crass - it's so vain
Oh mother nature and tunnel vision
Back to back - oh sing to me
Take my heart, take my soul
Take my Jesus, take my dole
Kill my children, steal my home
I'm the one
I'm the one
Rain or storm, spit on love
To the exile, spit on love
Mother bore me, in a nightmare
I'm the one
I'm the one
Take my heart, take my soul
Take my Jesus, take my dole
Kill my children, steal my home
I came a cropper when I trusted you
Life is bladder
I'm the one
I had to steal, I had to beg
I'm never worried, I'm never bled
Oh mother Mary, hell what's the story
I'm the one
Yeah, I'm the one
Take my heart, take my soul
Take my Jesus, take my dole
Kill my children, steal my home
I'm the one
The one
I'm the one
I'm the one

God I'm blind
I'm not an eagle
I'm not saint
to burn away
Oh God I'm blind
Honest and eager
I'm am the car
On the road
I'm not a sea
I'm not a forest
I'm not a drug
eating away
You'll never see me
walking in a nightmare
I'm not the son
You send away
I'm just blind
God I'm blind
I've got a future
I've got a child
a mouth to feed
I'm not alone
I'm not in torment
I'm am the stone
in your hand
I'm not a fire
I'm not a journey
I'm not a King
to cut you away
I'm not the food
to throw on a fire
I'm not the Son
you sent away

I'm just blind
