Alone again in Paris Travel drained I write to you You've been on my mind Cold days, long nights
A rooftop in Berlin I call Confess the state I'm in These cities This view I see nothing without you
And I can do this alone But we can do this so much better Together Together Together Together
I can make it alone But we can make it so much better Together Together Together Together
London Bridge The rain At last back in these arms again I'm sorry I hurt you I hurt me too Forgive my jealousy That's not the man I long to be By your side My whole life True love knows no sacrifice
And I can do this alone But we can do this so much better Together Together Together Together
I can make it alone We can make it so much better Together Together Together Together
Together
I put my arms around your waist Pull you closer in embrace I say divided we fall But stronger we stand Together Together Together Together Together
I was once a boy. 'Til i cut my penis off. And i grew a hairy skull of stubborn fire.
Then i was a girl. 'Til i sewed my hole up. And i grew a hairy heart of dark desire.
But. There's no answer. Just surrender, send all your barriers into the fire.
And, let no foot, mark your ground. Let no hand, hold you down.
You were once so sad, til' you cut your suffer off. Now you please yourself, and fight your own wars.
And you were once so weak, till you sewed your wounds up. Now you've learnt to sing about sun and shine!
Be your own hero. Be your own saviour. Send all your suffering into the fire.
And let not foot, mark your ground. Let no hand, hold you down. Let no foot, mark your ground. Let no hand, hold you down.
It's all yours, (and ours).
(one, two, three) It's all yours. (Let no foot, mark your ground) It's all yours. (Let no hand, hold you down). Be your own hero. (Let no foot, mark your ground). Be your own saviour. (Let no hand, hold you down) Send all your suffering into the fire.
Let no foot, mark your ground. Let no hand, hold you down. Let no foot, mark your ground. Let no hand, hold you down.

Oh I love this house, I love this house Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known Oh I love to hear those conkers fall Smash on morning Southwark stone
And I love that here you live with me Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known Cos I've been too long a lonely man Yes I've been too long a rolling stone
So let seasons turn Grow paradise gardens End to my migration The native has returned
Oh I love the curling of your hair Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known I see Dylan Thomas in your face Recite Butler Yeats there in your grace
So let seasons turn Grow paradise gardens End to my migration The native has returned
And if I had to die today Scatter my ashes on this place And I'll live on in your grieving heart But until that day that we depart
Oh, this is the greatest peace I've ever known (x3) Only your love makes house a home
She kisses him on Bermondsey Street and Rises high on the balls of her feet Declares this the greatest love of the century
He fumbles for a wedding ring She's no, no clone from Vogue magazines She is complex in all her complexion Love is here to heal
And I'm so proud of you Now you must too Take pride with what This love you do
He kisses him on Bermondsey Street Standing brave on the balls of his feet Declares this the greatest love of the century
He fumbles for a wedding ring He's no, no clone from Colt magazines He is complex in all his complexion Love is here to heal
And I'm so proud of you Now you must too Take pride with what This love you do
Now you know Love knows no boundaries Sees beyond sexuality And holds the sun in the palm of its hand Laughs down on the cynical man Here in what I say Here in what I see In two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street
Regardless of religion Braver than any faith No fear of society Evolves you and me
Love
In two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street Two kisses sweet Two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street
In two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street In two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street
Summer in San Francisco Kissing chlorine in the swimming pool Out of fuel at the Phoenix Motel I slept alone again that night In sweet dreams of Mother Ireland and Father Albion
Sweet dream that you come near And I see my future clear And the threshold appears And I am carrying you over Carrying you over
You come near I see my future clear And the threshold appears And I am carrying you over Carrying you over
Into the hallway of our new home Chaos outside but I've got your back We've got our own paradise And we are private worlds away from public eyes I say I love you More than my life Truth completely
You come near I see my future clear And the threshold appears And I am carrying you over Carrying you over
You come near I see my future clear And the threshold appears And I am carrying you over Carrying me over Into the best days Of the rest of our lives
Into the future Carrying you over Carrying you over Into the future Carrying me over
From the east to the south I tongue the roof of my mouth To new days of doubt without you First gear, I face the trouble ahead Final word has been said Long distance spread between us I tell myself to
Hold on, won't be long Till I grow through this struggle Time to wake up, find my muscle
Happy without you oh (x5)
Not called for weeks now Six days without sleep means I am a slave to my early grave If I do not be brave, behave Seize myself out of this mess I have created of myself yet again Yet again I say
Hold on, it won't be long Till I grow through this struggle Time to wake up, find my muscle
Happy without you oh (x5)
Beat go on Heart be strong Stay whole Unbroken As we divide Our love goodbye Thanks for, the time Time of my life
Happy without you oh (x4)
Time, time of my life Time, time of my life (So happy without you) Time, time of my life Time, time of my life
Thanks for the time of my life (Happy without you) Happy without you oh Happy without you
I see the steeple And trace to the spire And the sun set Deep in regret Phoenix in final fire
And the time stops Rush hour traffic slows And my heart starts Beating this dark Through old flesh and cold bone
And I long to be carried on Just once to be lifted strong Out of the loneliness And the emptiness Of the days The days Passing days Days
I remember I had your love once Seized my body whole And in our first dance I thought by chance God had matched my soul But time brought its travelling Its distance and solitude And in that travelling My self damaging I took my love far, far from you
But don't you Long to be carried on Once more I could lift you strong Out of the loneliness And the emptiness Of the days Passing days Passing days Days
Tell me Have we gone too far? Or did we get too close? You've no father I've no son But when we come ghost I promise I will meet you I will meet you At the end of the days The days
Before you I was living In my silver fish kitchen Fruit fly clouds breathing No hope, no religion A nightmare on Hazlitt Road
I was too young Too weak from the road Too proud for help Too scared to grow old Out of my depth and out of control I was so lonely then Living in slow motion Breathless corrosion Waiting for the kiss of life
Slow motion Breathless corrosion Waiting for the kiss of life
City rumours spreading Deep water wolf treading Yes, I was too young Too weak from the road And too proud for help Too scared to grow Out of my depth and out of control
Then strangers meet in slow motion Breathless devotion That night you gave me The kiss of life Slow motion Breathless Breathless That night you gave me The kiss of life
That night you saved me With the kiss of life
Wake me out of that deep sleep, darling Wake me out of that deep sleep, darling Wake me out of that deep sleep, darling Wake me out of that deep sleep, darling With your kiss
Wake me out of that deep sleep Deep sleep, darling Deep sleep, darling
Down in the foundry They forge for us the changing bell Turn your back against the wind Spit down the wishing well With nothing left to waste But opportunity To be the lovers we have longed to be
Now things are looking up, up, up for you Looking up, up, up for me Looking up, up, up for us Finally
We cross the borderline To wake the sleep of colour Under wind turbine Look at the rusting of that old machinery! Rusting away apart to history
Now things are looking up, up, up for you Looking up, up, up for me Looking up, up, up for us Finally
We cross the borderline Ha, ha!
What brings the joy Will take your tears You've been holding back Too many years That you were down and out of luck Now side by side We're looking up
Finally Looking up, up, up for you Looking up, up, up for me Looking up, up, up for us
Time to ring that changing bell
Up, up, up Up, up, up Up, up, up Up, up, up Up, up, up
