Why waste time bringing it back You said ‘It’s over now’ Stretched my love on the rack You said ‘It’s always the same, It’s always the same with you’ And I wish you all of the best You look so good in that dress Ripped a hole in my chest You see it’s always the same, It’s always the same with you And all you wanted was a piece of my mind And you got what you came for And left me behind And all I wanted was to be with you Did I ask you too fast, did I ask you too soon? My head is overflowing All rivers flow to the sea And all that muddy brown water Turns blue like me And it’s always the same It’s always the same with you And I fell in over my head I guess I drowned in you And your wonderful bed, And it’s never the same, It’s never the same without you And all you wanted was a piece of my mind And you got what you came for And left me behind, And all I wanted was to be with you Did I ask you too fast, did I ask you too soon? My head is overflowing Wide open rivers keep me rolling on I am alone with you and Wide open rivers keep me Rolling on without you And all I wanted was piece of your mind And I got what I came for and left you behind And all you wanted was to see it through But you asked me too fast and you asked me too soon My head was overflowing Wide open rivers keep me rolling on I am alone with you and Wide open rivers keep me Rolling on without you

There 03:13
Well it’s said that this life is both brief and uncertain A moment of sorrow a moment of care Some walk to find loneliness haunts them like Judas Some walk to find happiness vanquish the scared And they’ll widen the gap and they’ll tell you you’re ugly They’ll snap off your bow and they’ll cut off your hair They’ll walk you right down to the garden you watered They’ll step on your love if you don’t stand and say that you’re there It’s so hard to find truth in this chaos For chaos in truth is so certain it bears But of this I am sure we are given a purpose And choice is a wonder familiar and rare And they’ll hide in your thoughts and they’ll call you a liar They’ll tighten the knot till you’re struggling for air And they’ll wrinkle red plastic and call it a fire And they’ll burn out your love if you don’t stand . . . There Well it makes me sad and it makes me furious It makes me so mad that I almost despair When we run from the one that we always desired When we dance around everyone but our true care And they’ll spin you in circles then point to the tightrope They’ll deal you their cards and they’ll tell you it’s fair And they’ll listen for only what words they are after And they’ll steal all your love if you don’t stand… There

Worries I’ve had darkness I’ve felt its hand around me but I bear to look you in the eye and say I’m sorry Hard as I tried to push myself away I’ve not departed and I bear to hold your cheek to mine and say I’ve always loved you I saw your lazy eye and knew that you’d look over me now I will hold you in mine and wrap myself around you in the darkness Now love wasn’t found it was fought for on the ground and up those dark stairs but I bear to see you in the light cos I adore you I saw your lazy eye and knew that you’d look over me now I will hold you in mine and wrap myself around you in the darkness.

Wait wait wait I don’t know what to say I’m afraid I don’t know what to say to relate I see you falling down Please don’t fall under When I read The notice on the floor by your bed The wood just turned to water until I drowned inside my head Did you fall under? I’m locked out, I’m locked out I knew you Better than the breath in my cheek I never knew you’d play for keeps I never new you’d pray To fall under Two mistakes Don’t make for a right I’ve made A blunder in the night I’ve paid the poor but not the price Please don’t fall under I’m locked out, I’m locked out Please don’t fall under I’m locked out, I’m locked out An island’s lost A word is all I’ve got to cast A line into the sea of your art A lion into the breach Please don’t fall under We have burned We’ve burned a hole in mars we have earned The time between two stars we have learned To widen up our arc Please don’t fall under I’m locked out, I’m locked out Please don’t fall under I’m locked out, I’m locked out So don’t fall under Please don’t fall under

And I won’t know you anymore and I won’t know you anymore and I won’t know you anymore, because I’m walking out the door, and I won’t call you anymore. And I was often in my head and I was often in my head and I was often in my head, there were words I never said, and there were words I never said. And we were holding onto dust and we were holding onto dust and we were holding onto dust, I guess the wind was envious, I guess the wind was envious. Were we hypnotised? I could have filled a cloudless sky, with all the tears I never cried. And when you ask me who I am and when you ask me who I am and when you ask me who I am, then I reply “the other man”, then I reply “the other man”. Yet I will own the streets tonight, yet I will own the streets tonight, yet I will own the streets tonight, as the falling satellites come crashing, at my side. Were we hypnotised? I could have filled a cloudless sky, with all the tears I never cried. Were we hypnotised? or were we strangers in our eyes? or were we strangers in our eyes?

Bones 04:05
Won’t you understand? Won’t you hold my hand? Won’t you take me in your cover? Won’t you have me stay? Won’t you run away? Won’t you hide me from your father? Cos I’m almost here, and I’m surely gone And I’m standing in your doorway Won’t you keep me safe? Won’t you call the chase? Won’t you strike me down or love me? But your silence makes me cold And there’s a crashing of the bowls that are barely touching And you’re smashing around the kitchen with your shuffling And your silence makes them bones Your silence makes them bones Your silence makes me homesick for a place That I don’t know And it’s only since I’m gone you think you own me And it’s only since I met you I’ve been lonely And it’s only in the hiding that you show me The door before me is closed And your silence makes them bones Won’t you be my friend? Won’t you be my Enemy of generous destruction? Won’t you comprehend? Won’t you send your Infidels of meaningless construction? Cos I’m almost here, and I’m surely gone And I’m standing in your doorway Won’t you bring me in? Won’t you cast me out? Won’t you strike me down or love me? But your silence makes me cold And the Marian you play is very touching And I’ve hardly played the duke but I’ve been sucked in And your silence shakes my bones Your silence shakes my bones Your silence makes me homesick for a place That I don’t know And it’s only since I’m gone you think you own me And it’s only since I met you I’ve been lonely And it’s only in the hiding that you show me The door before me is closed And it’s only since you left you say you love me And It’s only since I’m gone you think I’m lovely And it’s only in my nakedness you covet me And it’s only when I jumped you say you shoved me Outside to the bones Outside to the bones

We Go Out 03:24
Was all in my head As she walked round the corner And all that she said was I ‘Really look forward to Meeting your mother And meeting your daughter and Are you an island Or a drop in the water?’ Well I am an island And I am a fortress If you can breach these walls I’ll give you a quarter Of gold that’s not gold It’s a fortunate soul She sings that my name’s a story That’s sung when it’s told!’ We go out Into the rain when it pours And the wind when it calls us Now strummer once told me Some rich and some poor But when she cried I knew She lived close to the shore You see we’re all born somewhere And we all go someplace so I’ll be the wind in your face And the hand at your oar… Into the rain when it pours And the wind when it calls us to Roar into the new day that’s dawning And on then and on then and out Well I’ve been a sailor Passed sirens’ sweet voices She sat with a Chimera Shucking wild oysters and Choices of love are a Monstrous thing they sing ‘Choices of love are a Hideous and monstrous thing’… Into the rain when it pours And the wind when it calls us to Sing into the new day that’s dawning And on then and on then and out Spokes on a wheel Turn like words that go around And I hope that I feel something Deep and profound and the Joker once told me to ‘Never look down because Hope is a breeze that comes once So you better look out’ Into the rain when it pours And the wind when it calls us to Shout into the new that’s dawning And on then and on We go out Into the rain when it pours And the wind when it calls us to Howl into the new that’s dawning And on then and on then and out

Helen 03:18
She lay beside him on the floor Now nothing is the same as it was before And all the thousand ships hauled east As they swum through blackened seas And the face I’ve never seen Well it burns my dreams And tears old Priam’s walls apart And strikes the oil and urn To light the stars When all the infidels are seized When all injustice is relieved When all the sinners kiss the floor When perfect peace reigns on us all When all our memories are gone Like golden splinters in the sun Still a face I’ve never seen Would burn, would burn my dreams

I'm on Fire 02:53

Don’t send me your photograph I’m over the other side Your happiness makes me smile Your happiness makes me sad Cos they don’t know you like I do They don’t know you like I do Don’t send me you lovely sighs Like death from another time Your friends keep you warm at night Your friends keep you warm at night But they don’t know you like I do They don’t love you like I do They don’t know you like I do They don’t burn for you like I do

My Shore 07:16
And now we go again And now we go out to the water where this song began And on the water there’s a ship beside an angel And she calls me out The clouds are rolling in A change is coming and I don’t know when we’ll meet again And I will hold you for the last time as we sing again Our salty tunes And on the avenue The broken bottles sing the chorus like a drunken muse And I am praying like a pilgrim to the holy moon That I’d soon forget you And oh my shore How I long to go homeward to you once more But onward beyond we’re drawn Out toward the distant dawn The doves are sailing in In high formation like a wall that’s finally caving in The skies fall softly on the pavement where we used to sit And it’s all clear now An SOS again I’m in a mess but I have saved my best for last again And on the frontier I’m a sailor, I’m a soldier And I’d almost die to hold you now And oh my shore How I long to go homeward to you once more But onward beyond we’re drawn Out toward the distant storm Well how I long to go homeward to you once more But onward beyond we’re drawn Out toward the distant dawn And oh my shore How I long to go homeward to you once more But onward beyond But onward beyond we’re drawn out toward The distant dawn
