| ALL THINGS MUST PASS | ANOTHER LOVE SONG | |
| Hey Charlie, we're good together Hey Charlie, what's your goal Hey Charlie, where ya going Nobody knows Well my bush, is your bush And this valley belongs to no one So if you're happy Happy or sad It don't matter All things must pass Hey Charlie, stop your name calling Hey Charlie, don't trust no one Hey Charlie, where ya going Nobody knows Well my bush, is your bush And this valley belongs to no one So if you're happy Happy or sad It don't matter All things must pass I could have been And I could have done that I was involved in a passing moment And I could have seen a reaction I was involved in a passing moment And my bush, is your bush And this valley belongs to no one So if you're happy Happy or sad It don't matter All things must pass Well my bush, is your bush And this valley belongs to no one So if you're happy Happy or sad It don't matter All things must pass |
I looked into her face again The penny dropped and I stook out my can She was holding her ballerine case I was stuck in the back of the place I turned around and she laughed in my face She took me up to her higher wall She took me up there just to let me fall and I'll sing you Another love song Another love song I looked into her face once more Sit you back so I can tell you a little story You look better from behind You look better from behind You look better from outside She took me up into her flying clay She took me up there just to blow away and I'll sing you Another love song Another love song I begged her, begged her, begged her please You skinny fatcher I could take your little stamen I only asked you for the time I only asked you for the time I only asked you for a sign She took me up into the bell I go She took me up there just to let it blow and I'll sing you Another love song Another love song Another love song |
| ANGEL AT MY TABLE | ARE YOU SLEEPING? | |
| There's an angel at my table And she broke her wings She's packed her things She said I'm the only one she'll turn to But there's a devil on my shoulder And he's telling me she's so beautiful That I should go up there and hold up She's looking on How can I stay here It wouldn't be what she wants And I'm trying to break it easy But she's pleading with me Will you be my anchor When there is no-one around to hold me down Will you be my anchor I know you're not the answer There's an angel at my table And she's blessed the breeze That blows in between her and everything She's left in that (heaven) And I wish she'd call 'Cause that devil's on my shoulder And he's pulling me down And I'm trying to keep a balance But she's begging me Will you be my anchor When there is no-one around to hold me down Will you be my anchor I know you're not the answer There's an angel at my table She said I'm the only one she'll turn to |
Are you sleeping, still dreaming? Still drifting off alone I'm not leaving with this feeling So you'd better best be told And what in the world have you done To be such an absent love? It's all simple, and befitting The path that you have chosen I'm not listening, there's no secret It's just a door that will stay closed And what in the world have I done To be such a lazy love And how am I supposed to live without you? A wrong word said in anger and you were gone I'm not listening for signals It's all dust now on the shelf Are you still running, still working Still buried in yourself And all that you've ever owned Is packed in the hall to go And how am I supposed to live without you? A wrong word said in anger and you were gone And how am I supposed to live without anyone? |
| B Lyrics |
| BEFORE YOU GO | THE BLOOD | |
| You ain't got far to go Come down for the feasta Come on fiesta, love me long She's incognito She lives in the parade by the sea, near the sand And I wish she'd come take my hand And we'll blow Baby there's one thing you should know Before you go Baby there is one thing you should know I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you I'm saved now, I'm saved by your hand And all the logic and language and loss I'd throw it all away for the dancer She's running upstairs now and she's made till the end But you see she's incognito I've seen a lot of dares and they come and they Stay and they go Ah but, no, no, no she said no, she said Turn on your record player And baby there's one thing you should know Before you go Baby there is one thing you should know I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you But how far will it go And baby there's one thing you should know Before you go Baby there is one thing you should know Before you go Baby there is one thing you should know I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you |
When you look and find You('ve) lost your place To the girl behind With the honest face Ain't that the way And your heroes They pass by on broken feet With the girls they find Between the roof and street On a thin escape And I can't explain where the blood goes And I can't explain cause I don't know It finds a way And the wise, they talk of honesty While the boats, they keep pointing Always set for sea And a fool's escape And there's a note, I found Reminding me, not to wait That you'd come and look for me And not to wait And I can't explain where the love goes And I can't explain cause I don't know It finds a way Ohhhh, ooooh, ooooh |

| COUNTRY SONG | PLACEHOLDER | |
| Driving, sleeping in station Trying to keep my patience From running dry But you're out there Looking in the wrong place Warming to the wrong face Every single time Driving, it's like a meditation Gets me to the place I'm trying to find But you're lost now Looking for the highway Cruising down the byway Maybe feeling fine Success, never really took you Said its just a thing You had to try But you're alone now Tired of the road now You never love at all You turned the other way But you're lost now Looking for the highway Cruising down the byway |

| THE DANCER | DANCE THE DEVIL BACK INTO HIS HOLE | |
| She was in a class of 44 beautiful dancers
And I watched her pirouette around the stars In her poms And I must have told her one thousand times In my mind, that I loved her I got drunk one night, she was on the steps She touched my shoulder oh oh oh oh I was young and full of grace When I stepped into the fire, with my dancer She had barely come of age But she was egging me on, all the way down And I told her as the ship sank That I loved her And I told her as we walked off of the plank I was all hers Oh oh oh oh Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4 Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4 Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4 Step 2, 3, 4, and jump That's good |
Out of the darkness and into the cold Trying to take something That's good for the soul Watching the chances scatter and fall And spinning the wheel Cause you've lost control And we can dance, dance the poison Right out of your soul And we can dance, dance the devil Back into his hole Sitting with people Who are draining your strength Always trying to find somewhere That nobody's been And living your life with one good intent And we can dance, dance the poison Right out of your soul And we can dance, dance the devil Back into his hole There is no life I know That compare to pure imagination |
| DENOUNCED | DISAPPOINTED | |
| Are you feeling so abandoned Have your crutches all been stolen and broken Now sometimes you've got to fall Just to remember how far from the bottom you are Have I got your full attention Cause these words don't come so easy now We know what's gonna happen This is getting us nowhere And we've been there I did denounce this And here I am with you Before we lose the rest Lets go with what we've left Are you holding it together Are you facing all the hardest and roughest parts The sign we passed along the way Said you've come this far Now you're on your own And I'm stopping here I did denounce this I did denounce this And so did you Before we lose it all Let's try to call it off I did denounce this |
The future takes us where it leads Our heads just go beneath the waves Time tells all and we obey But how can I be mad at you You did what you did And you followed through You were the one who always said 'Forget it and move on' But I'm not sad, I'm just disappointed And I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed Well the years they get on top of you The working load it tallied up And you went down Beneath it all like anybody would And I'm just ambling on in this town I can't get out and it drags me down And these words don't really fit what I'm feeling now But I'm not sad, I'm just disappointed And I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed And you're not lost, you're just misdirected And we're not going, oh nowhere |
| DOWNHILL FROM HERE | PLACEHOLDER | |
| Let go of the wheel And forget how to steer It's all downhill from here Forget all the words that you heard And shuffle them till they're unclear It's all downhill from here And if I held the key to all time Then all of your time would be mine Pick up something to throw And see how far it'll go And forget all you know We'll throw our thoughts over the pier And send them all into the mire And wait there, until they all disappear And if I held the secret to faith Then all of your faith would be mine So let go of the wheel And forget how to steer It's all downhill from here And when you're flying past In your carriage of glass Will you get time to ask Or will it all be too fast And when you're getting cold in your In your carriage of gold Will you hear all I told Or be too precious to hold And if I held the door to all love Then all of your love would be mine And if I held the whole world in my hands Then all of your world would be mine So let go of the wheel And forget how to steer It's all downhill from here It's all downhill from here It's all downhill from here |

| EARLY BIRD | EVERGREEN | |
| The early bird he slips away And he lives to fly another day He only serves to point the way That you should or should not return Two simple birds that never stray When the lights go out on us Just before when we we're found Will not rush it, will enjoy it Will not touch it, will rejoice it The early bird he knows his place And he'll stay all day there if he has to He never hides or runs away When the voices crowd on his Cry so loud that you will die Will not rush it, will enjoy it Will not touch it, will rejoice it Where did this come from How long has this been going on Where is it from I feel my wheels are turning I see the sky falling on every face Telling us now that we ought to stay I feel my wheels are turning I see the open road before us stretch Leading us somewhere past the hour |
My evergreen You are always gonna be No winter winds Can take you far from me Those tides of time Have carved a few new lines Oh but they've never changed my mind My evergreen Beside me you will be When all the world was cold and golden Your colours ceased to bleed Oh my evergreen You are always gonna be gonna be Keep on, keep on Cause your season's gonna come When all these storms have passed and done This distance will be gone And I swear we will be one When this race has all been run And I stole to see the hail Falling down in through your hair Through your hair Oh my evergreen Oh you are always gonna be |

| FAKE | FALLING SLOWLY | |
| You're telling me I should forget you, but
why? You're talking like I never knew you But that's a lie And he's talking up his game again And you're never on my side You're telling me I should forget you Come on the guy is a fake What do you love him for? And it was my mistake Just kicking in his door And if it's just a game What are we crying for? You're telling me I will regret you, and so You're talking like I should expect to But you'll never know And he's left you in the rain again And you're always on my mind You're telling me I should forget you Come on, the guy is a fake What do you love him for And it was my mistake Just kicking in his door And if it's just a game What are we crying for? Come on, the guy is a fake What do you love him for And it was my mistake Just kicking in his door And if it's just a game What are we crying for? You're telling me I should forget you But no |
I don't know you but I want you All the more for that Words fall through me and always fool me And I can't react You have suffered enough and what with yourself It's time that you won Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time, raise your hopeful voice You had the choice, you've made it now Falling slowly, eyes that know me And I can't go back Moods that take me and erase me And I'll paint it black Games that never amount To more than themseleves Will play themselves out Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time, raise your hopeful voice You had the choice, you've made it now |
| FIGHTING ON THE STAIRS | FITZCARRALDO | |
| I'm living out in the old house And fighting on the stairs And staring at the windows Breeze blowing through the years But if I don't get out of this town Then something is gonna break Cause I gotta find my own way now Through this thick molaise Well I don't know where else I can turn now Makes me often wonder when are we gonna learn You're wearing too much make-up Going to the dance And you're looking over my way now But some people out there take a chance But your glow in this light is so becoming now If I don't get out of this town Something's gonna break I'm waiting to find my high/house soon And rummage through the age Sometimes it feels like we don't stand a chance And we go, we go with something pure in our hearts |
Here, back, down along And straight, track I have chosen the long road That leads me out to gods know So I can stop right now Even the good stars can fall from grace and faulter, lose their faith, and slide But I can't get an ocean that's deep enough For my day is the first of the ascension It's a sad way we've flown after the stars And her last words were 'I was only thinking of you' In my golden, olden days I was a slave Well now it's time for to sound your voice And capture what your after My ship was sold right up the river But I'm not going down here This journey isn't over It's a long way to the house of fitzcarraldo And her last words were 'I'm always thinking of you' In my golden, olden days I was a saint Even the good stars can fall from grace and faulter Like lapdogs that stride that mystery And her last words were 'I'll see you down in history It's the (long lonely) way that we can grow I shall eclipse you. It's a long way to Fitzcarraldo And I don't want to pray for you In the name of something true |
| FRIENDS AND FOE | PLACEHOLDER | |
| Turning with the listless And staying close behind And the arms that once held you Have receeded Over time And the little love I had For all my friends and foe And the little lines we've drawn between us all have Taken hold In the early morning walking And the pressure in the night And the walls that held you with us Have fallen Out of sight And the little love I had For all my friends and foe And the little lines we've drawn between us all have Taken hold And the little love I had For all the friends I know And the little time we got to share was worth it After all Now we work it out in silence And the subplot to the end And it's falling out of favour I've seen it Where I am And the little love I had For all my friends and foe And the little lines we've drawn between us all have Taken hold And the little love I had For all the friends I know And the little time we got to share was worth it After all |

| GIVING IT ALL AWAY | GIVING ME WINGS | |
| There's only so much that you have And you've got to keep it safe You've been spreading it round the place Now it's gotta come back this way And you're giving it all away You're giving it all away And you're lying through your teeth You said you found a song to sing And you're riding on a wave Whatever helps you get along And you're giving it all away You're giving it all away You're keeping nothing for yourself You're just giving it all away There's so much that you know And there's so much that you don't Can you not accept its all the same Just accept its all the same And you're giving it all away |
Your a fool man, You threw it away you killer With your confidence In the old days The cause you embraced The simple things That people over complicate Speaking in lines, Known to yourself Your speaking at length, On all those days Will you come with me And we'll be ourselves, And we'll walk into the light And you can colour yourself In golden wings You're never yourself Not even with me Will you come with me And we'll ask the dust, It's on my way It's all my concentration Can hold But you alienate me, And throw it down, And rip it off, When nothing's feeling right, And I'll show you how, You can sellotape it on You're giving me wings So I don't have to jump And you're giving me will So I can carry on Dissimulate and celebrate this Time we had alone |
| GOD BLESS MOM | PLACEHOLDER | |

Its like they always say The truth is coming out Driving us away Your headlights heading south You turn your head to leave Cause there's nothing here for you anymore But I am not afraid to stay Got no need for the bible Its all in here Its all in here And all I need for my survival Is what you say Is what you say I told you once, twice Somewhere in the tunnel There's a light that shines for me To brighten up the darkest place And watch as the world goes Burning to the ground Turn back she said "I just want to go over there and check it out" I've got no need for the bible It's all in here It's all in here And all I need for my survival Is hollocaine Is hollocaine |

Get out, just leave baby, go today Well I'm just waiting for you to open me up Just hoping you'll drink from my broken cup I'm just a lonely boy who knows Nothing else but you, my Martha Hey Martha what are you saying? You say you got to figure it all out for yourself Well time won't wait, and you're not special Don't you think it's time you took me down off your shelf I won't claim to be the saviour of your soul, no I wouldn't want that kind of thing at all I'm just a lonely boy who knows Nothing else but you, my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey Martha the boat is leaving Pretty soon they are going to be Calling the last of us on Please don't please don't make me leave without you Don't make this a very sad and unhappy song You know I tried to say well it doesn't matter I tried to throw away everything I thought was true I'm just a lonely boy who knows Nothing else but you my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey my my my Martha |

| mIGHTY SWORD | MONUMENT | |
| I may not hold you For as long as forever exists I may not know you For as long as the heavens permit There will be distance And we'll both have to come to expect The wild ending of our dark and feathered friends And we wield the mighty sword That cuts through bone and lays the liars down And we wield an angry sword That softens stone and turns the tides around So you called me over And I'll wait by your building tonight But you may not bother But it's better than feeding the lie I am receiveing The message that I need to go But I'm not leaving 'Til one of us surrenders its soul 'Til one of us renders it so |
I built a monument to every word that's passed
between us I built a monument to stand through history And I'll watch the hourglass the time will pass And you'll rue the day love you ever strayed so far from me I built a monument to make the time more easy passing I built a monument to stand up straight and free When all's been said and done the time will come And it might be soon love, you'll see it more romantically I built a monument to all we were I built a monument to me and her And now she's coming back The roof is cracked and the walls are falling As all those bitter words will flow back to the sea I'll watch the hourglass the time will pass And you'll rue the day love you ever strayed so far from me I built a monument to all we were I built a monument to me and her |

| PAVEMENT TUNE | PERFECT OPENING LINE | |
| This situation's killing me It's got me right under the thumb I don't know where I want to be This doesn't make no sense at all You're quoting every single line I spoke too much but I was old before my time, you told me I want my life to make more sense I want my life to make amends I want my life to make more sense to me This road is crooked cracked and wrong They got the odds staked nice and high I don't know how they get along me, I just internaize You can imagine what they'd say Given the choice if I could fight or walk away, I'm walking You see I want my life to make more sense I want my life to make amends I want my life to make more sense to me I want my life to make more sense I want my life to make more sense to me So let me take you by the hand And lead you through this troubled mind You said yourself we had a plan To get us all back to the line We talk anout it everyday But we keep forgetting what it was we Came to say Now don't we I want my life to make more sense I want my life to make amends I want my life to make more sense to me My life to make amends |
it's just a lie I guess Working every hour that heaven sends Just making sense of this Never any wiser for the falls And every time we get Far away enough to see it clear It comes right out at you To pull the wonder out of everything So hold it in your hand And I'll just be curious to see now How you'll make it by yourself When your walking out ahead Unaware of anything And tomorrow as we're looking Who the history books will blame You'll be walking out ahead Not caring anyway Seven times removed From the one's who thought they had it down But don't it go to prove Nothing cuts you like the lies of a friend So hold it in your hands 'Cause you can't just switch it off And I'll just be curious to see now How you're going to make it by yourself When you're walking out ahead Unaware of anything And tomorrow as we're looking Who the history books will blame You'll be walking out ahead not caring anyway It's the perfect opening line It's the perfect opening line It's the perfect opening line And I'll just be curious to see now How you're going to make it by yourself When there's everything to lose And nothing left to win And tomorrow as we're looking Who the history books will blame You'll be walking out ahead Unaware of anything And tomorrow as we're fighting Over which way was the best You'll be walking out ahead Not caring anyway It's the perfect opening line It's the perfect opening line |
| PICTURE OF YOU | PLATEAU | |
| I had to strain to understand Your swimming in the watertower Running blood down from my hand She said are you sure that you live The way you want to live I had to hope to take her hand I was hanging on the edge for hours Dreaming of some starry strand And I was dreaming about your face Running back my way We were the picture of love And love doesn't think of tomorrow And long live romance from above And your fire of love I built a fire into the sky A little something to remember you by And panic broke and I lost my faith And I was mistaken for you On the palace stool We were the picture of love And love doesn't think of tomorrow And long live romance from above And your fire of love We were the picture of love And love doesn't think of forever And long live your stars from above And your fire of love I had to strain to understand Your swimming in the watertower We were the picture of love And love doesn't think of tomorrow And long live romance from above And your fire of love We were the picture of love And love doesn't think past forever And long live you stars from above And your fire of love And your fire of love And she said are you sure that you live The way you want to live |
I'm on a plateau It's not where I belong It's taken so many years To figure out my way Upon this plateau It's all been said and done And every time I try The words make little sense until you're gone And everything must change Everything must change Upon this plateau The diamond sky's enough to take you miles ahead Where the past can't ever catch us And all your good friends Are gathering all around They say the time is now And so I must resolve to say It's just me myself again And I'm just talking to the wall this time It's just me myself and I Deciding on a plan And everything must change Everything must change inside you now Everything must change inside and out Everything must change, change... I'm on a plateau I'm on a plateau... |

| RACES | RED CHORD | |
| If I win some races It don't mean I'm fastest It don't mean I'm better than anyone And if I ride some horses With great speed over courses It'll because you waited for me at the line Because for you I would win For you I would trust myself For you I would throw with abandon All glory and fame to the wind Cause I never let you And you never let me go Oh no And if I had the glory I'd share it out gladly I wouldn't suck on the limelight And let it get in your eyes So come walk beside me For the end of this story And I'll let you go gently Among your own kind Because for you I would win For you I would trust myself And for you I would throw with abandon All glory and fame to the wind Cause I never let you And you never let me go Oh no Cause I never let you And you never let me go |
And I'm pulling on the red chord That pulls you back to me lord It helps me out When you're away When I was in the army And they called you back to say And I was resting soft(ly) In the arms of my woman And I'm pulling on the red chord That pulls you back to me lord And I'm pulling on the red chord So you're not so far away And I was at the uni At the university of Blind love and black poetry And it was there I found you And you were happy like an angel But for everything you learned There is something you must let go of And I'm pulling on the red chord That pulls you back to me lord And I'm pulling on the red chord That pulls you back to me lord Pulls you back to me lord Yeah, Pulls you back to me lord Pulls you back to me lord Yeah, Pulls you back to me lord |
| RENT DAY BLUES | REVELATE | |
| Down on my check eat on my bet Cool and the gang play on the radio Back on the block Picking the locks And I'm hitching a ride out of this no good town Late on my rent And my money's all spent And I'm running away where no one can find me And I wonder what they'd say now If we got lucky babe And I'd wonder what they'd say now If we went all the way Playing the cards and losing too hard And I'm lying awake And what have I got to show for it all? I'm late on my rent My money is all spent And I'm hitching a ride out of this no good town And I wonder what they'd say now If we got lucky babe And I'd wonder what they'd say now If we went all the way... |
My simple slant My broken chant My human fate My revelate Are you so far from me this day That you can't say my revelate My open arms My lucky charm Number eight my revelate I fucked it up I rest my case It all to grey My revelate Sometimes I need a revelation Cause sometimes it's all too hard to take Sometimes I need a revelation This time I'm making my own now Does this mean we're though Does this mean it's gone Spent a day just to ponder the words That I would write to you this day But it's too great, my revelate Sometimes I need a revelation Sometimes its all too much to take Sometimes I need a revelation This time it's up in arms This time I need you revelation Cause sometimes it's all too much to take This time I need you revelation Cause sometimes it's easy just to hate you Sometimes I need a revelation Redeem yourself Redeem yourself Redeem yourself |
| RIGHT ROAD (WRONG ROAD) | RISE | |
| The books that you gave me, they had no pages No picture book stories to put inside my song And the heroes you made me, they had no faces No chisel jaw featues to carve my own on And there's a right road And there's a wrong wrong road So I dropped your book you held so high For to question is believe And I know you said you needed time But I never thought you had the balls to leave And there's a right road And there's a wrong wrong road I see your card come tumble down And I know your future now I see your card come tumble down I watch the wheel go spinning round I see your card come tumble down And I know your future now I watch the wheel go spinning round And I watch your future going down And there's a right road And there's a wrong wrong road I was a featureless face till you came along Now I'm carved by your diamond, won by your song And I feel that it's right But I know that it's wrong And all the love and care and respect I had for you is long gone Right road Wrong road Wrong road I felt love in a sweetheart's song And you can't deny with is done is done Did you never let ___ kiss the ____ |
Breathing in the night There's nothing else I'm needing now The wind is at my side And so are you Together we will rise With all these words and promises we couldn't keep Together we will fly Above it all now But sometimes we will fall From the light But it shines on us tonight Together we will rise Together we will rise Surely its a sign now That everything's in tune to some kind of higher plan Surely its a sign That you were right There's this secret line That we've been denied And we'll cross anytime And together we will rise And together we will rise Sometimes we will fall From the light But it shines on us tonight And together will rise Past this light And we'll cross it here tonight And together we will rise |

| SANTA MARIA | SAY IT TO ME NOW | |
| Let me off of this boat I'm sick of this ride The world is heading ever southward And I can't stay in here And you're lying awake Away on your side The feeling comes in waves and burns us And I don't wanna die From the slippery hands To the line of your throat The fever now consumes us both In a fire now we will go Santa Maria Why did you have to go Santa Maria One day we will know In a bowing of heads and a passing of hands And all we thought they'd understand Is lost and they won't know And what have we left It's all that we've got There is no 'x' to mark our spot What's past is done and gone Santa Maria Why did you have to burn Santa Maria One day you will learn |
Scratching at the surface now And I'm trying hard to work it out And so much has gone misunderstood This mystery only leads to doubt And I'm looking for a sign So if you have something to say Say it to me now And I'm not trying to pass the buck I'm just trying to get a better look And I'm wondering how it feels for you Now that the shoe is on the other foot And I didn't understand When you reached down to take my hand And if you have something to say You'd better say it now Cause this is what you've waited for A chance to even up the score And as these shadows fall on me now I will somehow Cause I'm clearing up this wreakage Lord And there's more than you've ever seen before So if you have something to say Say it to me now |
| SEVEN DAY MILE | SONG FOR PAUL | |
| Your will changes everyday it's a road you've come upon I can't help you if you want to Down here nothing gets a chance It's a threat that's real enough We can burn this bridge or stay here It's a breeze everlasting like time Making so sure that I can return just to see it from your side again Always never seems to work It's a word you never learned I don't really see a way clear It's a sea ever churning in tides In the sureness of time And our words will repeat now forever again Well this might take a while to figure out So don't you rush it And hold your head up high right through the doubt 'Cause its just a matter of time You've been running so fast It's the seven day mile Has you torn in-between here and running away I don't have a choice in this It's a road I've come upon You can join us if you want to Always never seems to work It's a word we never learned Time will be the judge of all here This might take a while to figure out now So don't you rush it And hold you're head up high Right through the doubt now 'Cause its just a matter of time You've been running so fast It's the seven day mile Has you torn in-between here and running away It's line you've been wanting It's your time It's the seven day mile Has you torn in-between here and never again Never again And down here nothing gets chance It's a world too big for us Time will be the judge of all here This might take a while to figure out now So don't you rush it And hold you're head up high Right through the doubt now 'Cause its just a matter of time You've been running so fast It's the seven day mile Has you torn in-between yeah and never again Never again |
We're brothers in another life We walk this world now hand-in-hand We saw through the blackest night And brought the sunlight to the land And we were born as one in Christ We had our hearts set on this star 'Cause out on every flag We heal the world through love and stone You see this world is not a place to land It's all I have in here to hand We're brothers in another time We had our hearts set on the sun We helped the many through the light We brought a peace onto this world We bathe in rivers deep at sea Our hearts were cleaner than the soil We never need nothing to breath We found our answers in the way We walked, and talked and planned This world was not depraved by man |
| STAR STAR | STARS ARE UNDERGROUND | |
| Star star teach me how to shine shine Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind 'Cause I don't understand these people Who say the hill's to steep Well they talk and talk forever But they just never climb Falling down into situations Bringing out the best in you You're flat on your back again And star you're ever word I'm heeding Can you help me to see I'm lost in the marsh Star star teach me how to shine shine Teach me so I know whats going on in your mind 'Cause I don't understand these people Who say we're all asleep They'll toss and turn forever But no rest will they find... |
The stars are underground And the proof is flying overhead So kick me when I'm down And I'll be the one you're laughing about now I don't know if its real Or how I'm supposed to feel now That I'm out of your life And into the darkness And out of the darkness I'm coming now When I'm out of your sight And into the blackness I drag myself along Not sure of how I got in here Well I must have done you wrong Cause you always insist on telling me Now how it feels That I'm out of your life and into the darkness And out of the darkness I'm coming now When I'm out of your sight And into the blackness Tell Mairead that you saw me And see how they follow When the piper plays the song |
| STEAL MY BODY BACK HOME | SWORN | |
| Steal my body home Don't let me lie in this town Cause all I want from you Is just a place to lay this burden down And if the world comes falling in Will you help me to get up again And if I fall and break my crown Will you come tumbling after now Never sold myself To the tired rule And all you get is by sweat And I've gotta tell you now I can see myself When I look at you Running from my chance Now to see it all through And I'll forgive myself For all the good it'll do Cause you beat me already Now the feeling that I get Is something that's returning Boy I've given you my best Gonna fail anyhow Never sold myself To the tired fool And all their luckless selves They're trying to tell you now I can see myself When I look at you Running from myself And all I'm supposed tol do And I'll forgive myself For all the good it'll do Cause you beat me already |
I want you but I'm sworn I got to give it all My mind is broken and I'm torn Yes we were saw all alone That I see no ties I'd like to but I'm sworn There's a ring on my finger That ties me to her My mind is broken and I'm torn I want you but I'm sworn I feel need in my mind That you could answer inside I could be with you I could be with you I could be with you You got to be part You got to be part I could be with you I want you but I'm sworn There's a ring on my finger There's a chain around my neck like a halo It guides me back to her I want you I swear If you say you're fine If you can break off the sides Then I need the ties If you kept a lie If you could say goodbye so easy baby So could I I want you but I'm sworn |

| TAKING THE HARD WAY OUT | TELEGRAPH POLES | |
| Well it's over now And for a while you walk away Went over everything you might of said And you realise the time it takes And you're getting nothing done Just working round inside a tired head Walk on, walk on And go easy as you fly Cause I never found a way to say it right And battle on as though we had the whole day But all we had were moments And I can't stand to fail And we had the whole thing down And we're taking the hard way out now Well I see you found What you were always waiting for Well I hope you're happy now And I can't take away from you This moment that you love I wouldn't understand it anyhow And we have the whole thing down And we're taking the hard way round it now And we have the whole thing down And we're taking the hard way out And we had the whole day down |
There was a head on collision At my front door today One man died And another man tried to stop it There was a head on collision At my front door today One man died And another man tried to stop it I was hanging on the pole When I saw what happened I went to tell my ma, But she was sleeping I was hanging on the pole When I saw what happened Don't take that man away It was not his fault Telegraph poles are good for climbing But don't touch the live wire At the tip of the barrell Telegraph poles are good for climbing But don't touch the live wire At the tip of the barrell You know this means everything to me But I'm not sure if I'll be here tomorrow You know this means everything to me But I'm not sure if I'll be here tomorrow Telegraph poles are good for climbing But don't touch the live wire At the tip of the barrell Telegraph poles are good for climbing But don't touch the live wire At the tip of the barrell There was a head on collision At my front door today One man died And another man tried to stop it |

| THE WALTZ | WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE HEART JUST STOPS | |
| You said you kissed the foot of the saviour Felt his confession in your sleep Well I'll be your saviour, if you'll do me that favour And if you want I'll bathe you In the blood of the lamb I love you, but you're too young to know And even if I am thinking of you I won't let it show When you're like this You could be thinking anything at all When you're like this I might as well be talking to the I might as well be talking to the wall I love you, but you're too young to know And even if I am thinking of you You'll never know There's no stone, stick, bone, name, thrown Swear to god But you, but you, but you, but you But you, but you, but you, but you But you, but you, but you, but you Amalama ah but you, amalama ama ramble on I love you, but you're too young to know And even if I am thinking of you You'll never ever ever ever ever ever know It's too late for you to go There's no star, crown, rhyme, dice, race for this time will long I go since you true |
So what happens when the heart just stops Stops caring for anyone The hollow in your chest dries up And you stop believing So what happens when the heart gives up But the body goes on living The blood crawls to a slow and stops And flows away Well we got no-one to meet No love we would beseech We only have ourselves to blame for everything The was no answer in the dust And I'm missing you so much And now you're sleeping And I'm leaving Empty-handed waiting Time it will subside and we'll agree It was a given Well there was no standard we could set And the world it does regret To have to leave you in this state of bereavement You see I'm feeling everything Nothing gets by There is a hollow in my chest The time I won't forget There is no comfort in the eyes They put us always to the test I can't prepare myself for that But I work it out in time There is a love that flows between us Everchanging everyday I worked myself up to a crawl But I'm not fearing it at all We have no reason left to stay And that's why we're leaving And there was no answer in the dust And the one I feared to trust There is a lie that drags us Beating and pulling into disappointment I'm disappointed I'm disappointed I'm disappointed It's so late, till you're gone |

| YOUR FACE | YOU WERE WRONG | |
| I was thinking about your face Rolling up the river I was worried what you thought And I'm sorry if I can't remember But there's no time for crying Only time for trying now I remember your name Cause you sang it to me often I was lying down beside The river where we met And now you face is hiding something Something is burning And I'm gonna wait for you I've got to end this tape to you And I'm gonna wait for you Cause I know something about you Something about the things you do Something about your voice That reams in the good stars It reams in the good stars There's a road that follows everywhere you go I stole your golden chaser But I never meant to steal Its not in my nature But if you try again I'll fall And if you want to save it all Then all you have to do is give Give me that look again Give me that look Cause I'm gonna wait for you I've got to send this tape to you And I'm gonna wait for you |
Who knows what the day brings? When the girl on the palace steps sings I'm sorry the breakdown was mine I missed all the signs, I can't read your mind And before you go run off again And cry to your friends Would you look through the frost, and see Here behind my cold eyes, my heart it is wore My eyelids are sore And you were wrong And you were wrong And so when my song it was sung I went to the grass, and I sat in the sun To bask underneath my own dredge Do I follow my heart, do I have far to go And I'd lie 'neath the shade of our bones With the heart of a star, 'Cause I live on my own stone And you were wrong And you were wrong Who knows what the day brings? When the girl on the palace steps sings You were wrong You were wrong You were wrong |
