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 |

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 |

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. |

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 |

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 |

There's a shadow on his photograph on Tinian '45
Smiling like a college boy who's glad to be alive But now he owns a factory and a store in Los Alamos A wife called Beverly sells second hand Ford Motors He may have taken pictures, been caught in Albuquerque Flown in great artiste on a mushroom cloud He may be a senator or a general or a turn key But I know he looks like Spencer Tracy now And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night And he may have been with Oppenheimer, shaken Einstein's hand Did we have to drop the bomb? You bet, to save this land He was only taking pictures around the critical mass While the troops on Tinian island sang 'Follow the bouncing ball' White Christmas He may have been a nationalist, a physicist or a pacifist But he's just taking pictures and he'll do it anyhow Well, I have seen that movie of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde And I know he looks like Spencer Tracy Now And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night Tears falling down the streets And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night Oh, he cries all night |

Outside the flashing neon sign With the smell of cheap cigars And the hope of sweet perfume And his heart it was reeling With the thrill of it all All to do and only hours He said all this is all yours You can have it all You can take it all away From where we left off Living it all Your way If you'll stand in my shoes If you'll do what I do On a wages day On a wages day And the cap from Disneyland That his cousin she brought back Stays open in his hand From one week to another And this long narrow land Is full of possibility All to do and only hours He said all this is all yours You can have it all You can take it all away From where we left off Living it all Your way If you'll stand in my shoes If you'll do what I do On a wages day On a wages day And you can have it all You can take it all away From where we left off Living it all Your way If you'll stand in my shoes If you'll do what I do On a wages day On a wages day On a wages day On a wages day On a wages day On a wages day If you'll do what I do On a wages day |

You're thankful for this blessed rain And you think you'd know But your old friends have to tell you again Your books taught you all you know Your tastes and patterns and your tv shows But you can never follow where they won't let you go Sometimes it's so hard to know You want to display your charms On this bright night You want to display your charms On this bright night You want to display your charms Over these circus Christmas lights Your cares your misanthropy Your distant gaze is missing me And your jewelery that's what blinded me From the reality You want to display your charms On this bright night You want to display your charms On this bright night You want to display your charms Over these circus Christmas lights You want to display your charms On this bright night You want to display your charms On this bright night You want to display your charms Over these circus Christmas lights Over the sea Over the land and the city |

You're taking down the signs
Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming You're turning down the lights In this cruel light symbols mean nothing You're taking down the signs Turning round your eyes From dreams that seem so bright Flying hope like kites Hold loved ones tight And turning to the light of that long window to love And you forget about the years About the planting and the dying and the growing And you forget about your cares But you remember that they've been forgotten By the people sent to London They're taking down your cares Drinking off your tears Gambling on your fears For things that cost so dear And won't be paid for years Hoping you won't stare down that long window to love They'd burgle all your sanity if it would let them hold you under They'd knock on your door so hard the frame would crack under the strain Its just the same ,just the same, Its just the same ,just the same You're taking down the signs Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming You're turning down the lights In this cruel light symbols mean nothing You're taking down the signs Turning round your eyes From dreams that seem so bright Flying hope like kites Hold loved ones tight And turning to the light of that long window to love |

I now describe my country
As if to strangers This train is full of songs Of local winners And the wind surrounds the towers And the flags they are blowing And the bunting and the distance Stretches over our sound And when he teases the children He calls them orphans And he cries for all the flowers Of the forest In his head there is no reason To be sad about the garden But his heart bleeds very often For things forgotten like little orphans |

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. |

Send me back all the thing she ever wrote
Tell me secrets of her days when she was young Show me nights when she laughed So innocent I'll be happy Waiting till they come Love the people that she smiled upon Walk with me in streets Where she once stood Say if it could be that we once passed like strangers Long before the love we ever new 'Cause I've been longing For a new world waiting I've been hoping To be sent I've been picking up All the love we squandered Until you Hold me in your swaying arms again One day I can see us walking Arm and arm in sheltered Kelvin way Talking and tripping and teasing And heading for the best part of the day When your head Falls softly on my pillow No fear will make you cry or turn you grey And we will wake So early in the morning Knowing you'll never Never Never go away 'Cause I've been longing For a new world waiting I've been hoping To be sent I've been picking up All the love we squandered Until you Hold me in your swaying arms again I've been longing For a new world waiting I've been hoping To be sent I've been picking up All the love we squandered Until you Hold me in your swaying arms again Until you Rest me in your swaying arms again In your arms In your swaying arms Your swaying arms Hold me Bless me now Hold me Hold me now Hold me hold me hole me In your arms Your swaying arms Your swaying arms Hold me |

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 |

As far as the wind and the sky would allow Waking from sleep Alive to the noise we came After the turn of the year With only the sky as a silver seer Of anything restively turning And slowly beginning Now even the weatherman's smiling He never could see it this good Why are we so afraid That under the indigo sky We'll sing and we'll drink and we'll cry After the falling apart After the noise and the guilt and the hurt We woke from sleep And saw that it wasn't a dream Was it a trick of the light That there in the spirit damned demon night We lit a fire And crowded all around it Now even the weatherman's smiling He never could see it this good Why are we sore afraid That under the indigo sky we lay down and we died Under the indigo sky We lay down and we died |

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 |

Under a blueblack sky They talked the slow way home Of years passed closely by They caught only a casual look From strangers with things to do Only a loveless heart Could feel anything less than sure That they're still in the mood Still in the mood After the time has passed They were still in the mood You'd take the chimes of midnight To be the drum of your heart's desire And you'd change all you're golden rings For one time on the wheel of fire So take off your shabby coat Let all the leaves fall down Leave this stuff till morning And then come gently round To be still in the mood Still in the mood When the sun has come up We'll be still in the mood We're still in the mood Still in the mood After the time has passed We are still in the mood |

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 |

This is the way we walk
This is how we walk At closing time These are the songs we sing These are our songs At closing time And in the clear Of this sweet moonshine We'll walk back To where we started On our own again This is my favorite time Drink up now and move outside It's closing time My most favorite lips Are on the girls that i kissed At closing time And in the clear of dear sweet moonshine We'll walk back To where we started On our own again When all the people are just Shuffling home When all the saddest things are Said and done And all the words are brighter In the happy light of Closing time We took the shortcut home Over the wood slat bridge And stood and gazed and wished Till all the clouds Had vanished Nothing could be missed And only the river passed And there at the back of eleven In the late summer night A leaf landed soft Soft soft soft And sorrowful And your belly was warm As the day was long And night came upon us So fast Would you be poor Not to be sure That everything lasts for ever Some things don't get better Till you're on your own again We took the shortcut home Over the wood slat bridge And stood and stared and wished Till all the clouds Had vanished Nothing could be missed And only the river passed And there at the back of eleven A leaf landed soft and sorrowful And your belly was warm And the day was long And night came upon us So fast So fast Came so fast Came so fast Came so fast And all we said Da da do do All we said was All we said was Was da da do do Was da da do do Da da do do And all we said Do do Do do Do do |

You were a good man
Jamsie Everyone loves you Now you're gone And the seagulls over Where you lie Sing your final song I'm walking back Away from here To see where you belong Here's the church And here's the work And here's where shows were at the fair Take me on your skirling waltzer And scream the ghost train down And buckle me to the chairy plane As the big wheel goes round |

Outside the world
The wind is howling Through the broken trees And the moon is shining As the river meets the sea And I will see you tomorrow Calm and bright in tender light And my heart will be racing Like your wakening eyes Inside my room the curtain's blowing And our bed it lies unmade But the morning will be broken By the loving words you say And I will see you tomorrow Calm and bright in tender light And my heart will be racing Like your wakening eyes Though you're far still your heart sounds loud beating time with me Through the day the only grace I get is I want to be you In the world time were rushing Like the cool evening breeze But my soul is calm And I will see you presently |

Water
Tiny at first then bigger And it flowed right down From the highest hill And it grew and it joined The battling burn And it flowed right through To where we are now Standing Beside a cool cool stream It's hard to imagine The great and terrible river you'll be Bringing life or rest Or wonder Or high high tide And in times like this You bring me here And when the wind is blowing quick time For the waves to be dancing by And the moon is watching over The purple gloaming sky I'll go walking Yeah One day I'll go walking Sometimes I come down here And I don't know why It's like a garden or a room Or a dream that you Keep on trying to find It leaves you feeling that maybe Maybe there's a destination you've missed And all along the way you hope the reason that you came was blessing Hah Some holy kiss Chorus Let me ask you a question Give me the Just give me Just give me five Did you see the picture Or did you read the book I mean Did you really go there Or were you only took I said Were you believing Or were you just shook Well I went inside and I It was dark and Then I stood I stared out long and fast Till my eyes were hurting And I saw the hands on the savior And all his bloody feet And his hair and his clothes were all Mattered and torn Were they only dirty from the beating of the soldiers or just Just from walking |

There's a shadow on his photograph on Tinian '45
Smiling like a college boy who's glad to be alive But now he owns a factory and a store in Los Alamos A wife called Beverly sells second hand Ford Motors He may have taken pictures, been caught in Albuquerque Flown in great artiste on a mushroom cloud He may be a senator or a general or a turn key But I know he looks like Spencer Tracy now And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night And he may have been with Oppenheimer, shaken Einstein's hand Did we have to drop the bomb? You bet, to save this land He was only taking pictures around the critical mass While the troops on Tinian island sang 'Follow the bouncing ball' White Christmas He may have been a nationalist, a physicist or a pacifist But he's just taking pictures and he'll do it anyhow Well, I have seen that movie of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde And I know he looks like Spencer Tracy Now And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night Tears falling down the streets And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night And he cries all night Oh, he cries all night |

In some foreign town You've walked for miles Till the heat slows you down And your jeans and your curls Are bleached and split And your money and your anger Are all used up Maybe I'm sorry About the light in this place Makes my heart seem cold As the words on these pages Maybe I'm reminded By a shop window displays or a decoration Like some church candle That might just burn, might just burn 'Cause we're dancing under chandeliers And I'm telling you Caught in the headlights And I'm yelling it at you Why is it girl When the world is lit by lightning That I keep telling you That I love you? So you're ten miles out Of this city at night When do colored lights Become paint and glass, and dust? How I wonder What light to trust The light of the distance Or the light might just burn, might just burn? 'Cause we're dancing under chandeliers And I'm telling you We caught in the headlights And I'm yelling it at you Why is it girl When the world is lit by lightning That I keep telling you I keep telling you, I keep telling you? We're dancing under chandeliers And I'm telling you We're caught in the headlights And I'm yelling it at you Why is it girl When the world is lit by lightning? Seraphim and cherubim Skies full of gold dust Moonshine and starlight Pockets full of rainbows Windows and mirrored balls Porcelain and silver lake Dance hall, neons flash and swing Blow out your candles It will call you Angel, angel Angel, angel, angel When the world knows your name We're dancing under chandeliers And I'm telling you Caught in the headlights And I'm yelling it at you Why is it girl When the world is lit by lightning That I keep telling you That I love you?
