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 |

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 |

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 |

There's no sleep inside
Their dreams are broke and inspired All the times you try to Scream Houses dark indoors And blinds are pulled and closed Everything that needed Change And there's nothing wise Or twice as good as nice You save it all inside while you Hang your head Hang your head Underneath it all Your smile your smile your smile is flawed And the songs you sing are only Spoken The promise of this child You crossed your palms with silver crowns and the People swore he's only Choken There's no promises No light is ever shed Between the living and dead Hang your head Hang your head There's no promises No light is ever shed Between the living and dead |

There was a night
As purple as this With a love so close We longed to be missed Summer '89 And everything stood Sure and free and there To be finished I long to be there As bright as the sky At Bethlehem's gate September again You come so quick So sudden your strength So strong your kiss The world groans and strains For the hope of a time Like a prayer that Is wished and willed To exist Like knocking so hard And trying to get through To Bethlehem's gate I'm chiding the heart That the body will live To question the power And the gift of birth To stand and grow and die On the wasteland That scorns the high temples We build And stand in the way And darken the sky At Bethlehem's gate Stand in the way And darken the sky At Bethlehem's gate |

Lily love that's a
Beautiful name Your precious gifts are not the same Since they faded away The song so distant But it still rings true your Beautiful hands were rudely used To make things pay Every minute of every day You don't get angry 'bout what's taken away Is only real life Every second of eternal light Piercing through this sorrowful night Will bring the sad heart The cold heart To love again Last night I dreamed of Henry Thomas in the Delta light his rusty pipes They drifted away Standing in some Dusty patch It felt so close that I could almost catch His breath on me Every minute of every day You don't get angry 'bout what's been taken away Is only real life Every second of eternal light Piercing through this sorrowful night Will make the sad heart The cold heart To love again Every minute of every day You don't get angry 'bout what's been taken away Is only real life Every second of eternal light Piercing through this sorrowful night Will make the sad heart The cold heart To love again Last night I dreamed of Henry Thomas and the blues |

Little baby don't just slip away
Without fight or push or Saying anything This is all you really Get to say And the only thing you Listen in to There are people to see There are places to go There are things to believe in To believe in So you live in the magic water And you tumble and kick and turn While your beautiful hands and feet grow So quiet is the life you beat with Till you fall so freely down You can't just slip or fall or leave without talking There's no goodbye without walking The roads we travel for good The ways we exit for bad There are places to go There are jobs to be done There are things to believe in To believe in So you live in the magic water And you tumble and kick and turn While your beautiful hands and feet grow So quiet is the life you beat with Till you fall so freely down Till you fall so freely down Kick kick down So you live in the magic water And you tumble and kick and turn While your beautiful hands and feet grow So quiet is the life you beat with So quiet is the life you beat with And you tumble and kick and turn |

The wild wild wind Rips through the mighty words We kept ourselves warm with And all over this love Has never been stronger All Jericho's walls They gently fall I've been waiting for a golden Bright milleniun Waking early for the Union bonds being broken Then gone All over the world All over the world All over theWorld All over the world I've been searching for a new new Song of freedom Where no flag of conquest Is furled No war words are spoken All over the world All over the world I,I hear the sound I,I Hear the sound All over this land People are waiting To enter the world Like a new born baby All over the world Where nothing's been learned The flags are changing So let freedom unfurl New flags need waving Let freedom unfurl |
