Deacon Blue

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough nor strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh, ooh, love hurts
I'm young I know but even so
I know a thing or two I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, mmm, mmm, love hurts
Some fools dream of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh, ooh, love hurts

Would the rain, the frozen rain
Be as cold upon your forehead
As the tears that plough your beaten face again
Would the rain

Could your hands, your grubby hands
Pull your coat around your shoulder
Steel yourself against the weather of the day
Could your hands

Here i stand
Just the same

Jesus do these hands still feel the rain

Here we go, winter long
Like sun bleeds down the valley
Or a black and oily river moves so slow


Here we go

Here i stand
Just the same

Jesus do these hands still feel the rain

Here i stand
Just the same

Jesus do your hands still feel the rain

One day all of us will work
We'll stand outside this orchard and we'll talk
When all is said, all is done
We'll still be thinking about home

They say that love might be the very thing
If only it could be
And making love is more than anything
All these things like buildings
And places, and memories, and faces
Don't count for anything

I'll gladly draw the lines of duty
Watching summer turn to gold
She's not content with responsibility
She wants to have and then to hold

They say that love might be the very thing
If only it could be
And making love is more than anything
And all these things like buildings
And places, memories, and faces
Don't count for anything

They say that love might be the very thing
If only it could be
And making love is more than anything
Yea, all these things they say

They say that love might be the very thing
If only it could be
And making love is more than anything
Yea, all these things they say

They say that love might be the very thing
If only it could be
And making love is more than anything
And all these things like buildings
And places, and memories, and faces
Like buildings
And places, and memories, and faces
Don't count for anything

One day all of us will work
One day all of us will work
One day all of us will work

The day that Jackie jumped the jail
The day that Jackie jumped the jail
There was a big explosion just as he got off the motorway
And thirty thousand fireworks took the piss out of Princes Street
Gardens
So he drove up to the Budgie for a livener
See the smell of cabbages first thing in the morning
The sun will be up again
And you you will be loved again
After the sausages and cream of the barley
There was aframe or two to be had at the "Imperial" on Mitchell Street
Five years ago he'd buried her memory with a snooker cue on a daft wee
student's head
Still he remembered everything
The sun will be up again
And you you will be loved again
And the wind
And the rain
And the wind
And the rain
Falls around
I don't know
I don't know
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
As he walked down Hope Street he thought about the last time they'd been
together
He'd been wearing a green parka and he'd bought her yellow stilettos
That squeezed her toes
He'd told her the whole story as she took him into the wee penn behind


Sloan's
And let him feel her all over
For the last time
Ten minutes later the meat wagon picked him up
The sun will be up again
And you
You
You
You will be loved
You will be loved
You will be loved again
And the wind
And the rain
And the wind
And the rain
Falls around
All over this town
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Falls around
All over this town
All over this town
Falls around
All over
All over
Ooh yeah
All over

Cold dawn won't comfort you
Cold coffee
Won't see you through
Cold sheets
Won't heal your heart
Your frozen fingers of your
Name so tarred
I know so rarely
That things come your way
Your ways are tender
And your paths are straight
Your mind's not lived i

Oh the rush hour is over
And the night has been trying
To drive us and chase us away
But we're lovely and drunk now
And our laugh dosen't
Rattle or fray
And the friday folk
Are coming round
Let the wildness
Have its way
Oh sweet autumn
With your dark surprise
And your short days all smudged with gold
You covered up
Worn paths for us
So no story could be told
And sent the dark
Come tumbling down
So the wildness
Can't grow cold
So the morning
Would never know
Of the wildness
Of the wildness
Driving me on again
Of the wildness
Of the wildness
Shaking me
Letting me know
There were two of us driving
We were six miles out
And a
Hundred miles to go
Still the morning lies waiting
And the light falls
On your travel map
I'm still here hoping
For the wildness
To relax
For the wildness
To go back
Of the wildness
Of the wildness
Driving me on again
Of the wildness


Of the wildness
Shaking me
Letting me know
I said yeah
Can you
Feel it
I went up to your house one night
I took 59 in the rain
And I saw your tiny face shine
So calm and so bright
And so gay
I called in
I called out
I couldn't see any other name
I woke
One morning
With the wildness
Once again
With the wildness
Shining in
Of the wildness
Of the wildness
Driving me on again
Of the wildness
Of the wildness
Shaking me
Letting me know
Of the wildness
Of the wildness
Driving me on again
Of the wildness
Of the wildness
Shaking me
Letting me know
Of the wildness
Of the wildness baby
Driving me on again
Of the wildness
Of the wildness
Shaking me
Letting me know

When you were young and your heart was free
I'd run and meet you and rush to see
Just over the wall where the clouds roll by
And age and chance and tears were far away

Oh if heaven wouldn't see
Light lovers so distantly
Then look today at this love so free
When you are young again

When you were young and your eyes are old
Then all your treasures my hand can stroke
And all your memories and your sorrows are loosed


And blown and left so your lips may be touched

Oh if heaven wouldn't see
Light lovers so distantly
Then look today at this love so free
When you are young again

You know the agony
Of seeing it all slip away
Well maybe now you'd be happy
Just to talk it out straight
If it's just
Slipping away
About the danger of
Believing in plans in hand
About the role that you have in this delecate plan
If it's just
Slipping away
Let's talk it out now
Let's name them one by one
One by one
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn
As you walk and learn
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn
As you walk and learn
Twist and turn
As you walk and learn
You know danger of believing that the summer's gone
And with the fading light the feeling that
Love is falling
It's all just
Slipping away
If you believe in
The dangers that you suppose
You think it can tumble down
None of us knows
It's all
Slipping away
Let's talk it out now
Let's name them one by one
One by one
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn
As you walk and learn
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn
As you walk and learn
Twist and turn
As you walk and learn
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn
As you walk and learn
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn
As you walk and learn
Twist and turn
As you walk and learn
Twist and turn
As you walk and learn
Twist and turn
As you walk and learn

Alan doesn't understand her
He only thinks in numbers
He only drinks in restaurants
Where the girls are fully covered
And he can't trust his yearnings
And he doesn't like pretending
His tempers stretched so much by work
His heart needs gentle rending
He

Plastic shoes
Empty in the hall
Well, I gathered the news
That you'd gone after all
Whats left is this:
And from what I can recall
Theres something I've missed
And I have seen it all

You caught me drawn in the
Bathroom mirror
And said I looked a little older
Walking along on a beach at dawn
With your head upon my shoulder

In your plastic shoes
Broken and used on me
And what have we been through?
Are you watching alone
The same film I'm tuned to?
Do you still cry
When the doctor gives her the news?



Theres a big black bag of belts and hats
You wore to other weddings
A broken chain and a picture frame
That once held us together
I put out these shoes that I helped you choose
And I bolted all the doors
So they won't walk back........

Those plastic shoes
Oh you looked so good
That was all you wore
When I really understood
Some things need summer weather
Others want the dark
Some things work well together
But still keep falling apart

Down on the flag stones
Accordions, sweet trumpets rise
Rusty memories of sin and doubting
Mingle in around the Queen Street, traffic noise

Would that all the love in the world
Watch me through the night?

You know, the preacher
All he preaches is vanity
Maybe, at last you'll see
A brighter star than you will shine one day

Hymns and words and busy planets
Said, "The preacher have come and gone"
Even your smile will one day die away
When your wealth and words are forgotten

Would that all the love in the world
Stay with me tonight?

You know, the preacher
All he preaches is vanity
Maybe, at last you'll see
A brighter star than you will shine one day

Maybe, at last you'll see
A brighter star than you will shine one day

Maybe, at last you'll see
A brighter star than you will shine one day
Shine

Seven lonely days in a fifty ton lorry
I know you made me what I am
And I fall to pieces
Johnny Cash in black singin'
Undertand your man from
St. Quentin crossing to Tarbert to Gigha

Oh lonesome me howled box car willie
Coming out of Tobermory to the sound
In the morning
Patsy Clines on the air say's I've loved and lost again
From now on all of my friends are gonna be strangers

So I fell in love with a beautiful stranger
It's just an arangement
I'll leave the first light of day
This one goes out
To my beautiful stranger
I slipped so quietly away

By the window where she stands
She counts the beads in her hand
And knows it wasn't God who planned to make
Honky tonk angels


She makes the bed all alone but a house
Without love is not a home plays on the radio

She says why can't he be you I hear
You've gone from Brown to blue
Since the holiday for two
But I don't need to know that right now
I love you so much it hurts he cursed
As his truck tyres lurched down the
Old dirt track road again

She fell in love with a beautiful stranger
There's no arangement
He leaves the first light of day
This one goes out to the beautiful stranger
Time slips so easily away
Time slips so easily away
Time slips so easily away

A cautious smile under the western sky
Would curl upwards like the wild sea
A special friend knowing all the ways of love
Would talk his way back inside a tiny second

Don't promise good intention
One in a thousand (maybe even me)
Don't know there are clouds in the sky
Sooner or later everyone will say the same thing

Baby, you already know
That all I want is to be with you
Call me over sooner
Call me right now

I'm standing underneath the blackest rolling sky
I don't know my way forward
I'm dizzy with the wind
Turning like a compass never true only spinning

All I want is to be with you
In the sad and lonely pines
Where no midday sun ever shines
As the clouds all float into thin air

Underneath the blackest sky somewhere
I hear the soul of man never dies
I hear that special will survive
Keeping time over the rolling roads

Staying with me as my thoughts all go
Chasing away in the green fields
Where every breath gives up and yields
To all I want

The stars and satellites
Are quiet over the hills tonight
And the cats' eyes and white lines
Are heading out for miles
The frost on the embankment
Keeps my feet on the road
But the tunes and beers
Are walking us back home

And we stopped any travellers
And wished them good new year
And we sang and we drunk
And we quarrelled and we cheered
And we felt the earth below
And we knew how good it was
Just walking back home

La La La La......La La La La......La La La La......La La La La

I left them at the circle


As the sun began to rise
And we walked the last few hundred yards
Back to my own house
I pulled my coat still closer
'Cause now I'm on my own
I've struck out for the first time
And now I'm walking back home

Warbeck sang
La La La La......La La La La......La La La La......La La La La
The Stacy's sang
La La La La......La La La La......La La La La......La La La La
Linda sang
La La La La......La La La La......La La La La......La La La La

What do you get when you fall in love,
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble,
That's what you get for all your trouble,
I'll never fall in love again,
I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you kiss a girl?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia,
After you do, she'll never phone ya'
I'll never fall in love again,
I'll never fall in love again.

Don't tell me what it's all about,
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you,
That is why I'm here to remind you,
What do you get when you fall in love,
You only get lies and pain and sorrow,
So for at least until tomorrow,
I'll never fall in love again,
I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you give your heart,
You get it all broken up and battered,
That's what you get, a heart that's shattered,
I'll never fall in love again,
I'll never fall in love again.

I wouldn't want to be you
Mostly not even near you
When you're gone they will curse you
And raise the tide against you
I no longer care now
For what you said was fair now
I just don't go there now
I just don't go

Maybe there's a way not to make it hurt
To cover up the words like you covered up the dirt
Ever since you left
It just gets worse
Living out in your town

Now let's say it like it is
I just don't know where to begin
It's a different way of living
It's so strange to what we've been
First we speak for ourselves now
And people know who we are now
And they wake up and they live now
Yes they wake up and they live

Maybe there's a way not to let it hurt
Tell it out in pictures
And songs and words
Do what we should not
To make it worse
Living out in your town

Maybe there's a way not to let it hurt
Tell it out in pictures
And songs and words
Do what we should not
To make it worse
Living out in your town
Living out in your town
Living out in your town
Living out in your town

Way out there in the wilderness
Of love and pain
Under the gentle arches we rode
The silver streets
Couldn't see a difference between gold or
Wooden cross
Could never see where we're falling
Came in to love

Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees
Only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was

Never was there once nothing
And everything once was
Not dead but still and ready to be born anew
Looking back now it all
Seems so clear
Like staring so long unseeing for someone to light inside a
Darkened room

Then try your tender love
Push you back till there's nowhere left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more
More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes to get home and have a love again

More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes
To get home and have a love

Then try your tender love
Push it till there's nothing left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more

Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees

Then only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was
