Something Dead
03:31
|
|||
|
And if I ever knew, the words to write about you
I put them on this page and stick the words like glue
Oh I'm the lucky one, I got a smoking gun
I put it to my head and pull the trigger for fun
There's something dead in my eyes,
My God I think it's you
Those silver spaceships arrive
But they don't follow you
There's something dead in my eyes,
My God I think it's you and Daddy's so far away
I have a world of pain living from day to day
We take these needles and we stitch the wound up again
There's something dead in my eyes,
My God I think it's you
Those silver spaceships arrive
But they don't follow you
There's something dead in my eyes,
My God I think it's you and Daddy's so far away
I think I was born today
You know you did nothing wrong
And you left me feeling strong
You did not inspire this song
Did it have to be so long?

Lucia
03:06
|
|||
|
I met her in a Paris hotel
Dancing on the light
Her beauty forced me over a friend
Twice we hit the end
Sister of light, take me home
Blessed Lucia take me home
To your house in Padua
I'll see you again in Rome
She had eyes of fire, hair of black
Like Mary's prayer
Her tongue, her lips set me aflame
I vowed to see her again
Sister of light, take me home
Blessed Lucia take me home
To your house in Padua
I'll see you again in Rome
Life, we tripped on lithe, the streets of the city
Her by my side then I knew this was bliss for a time
Days stretched in those hours rambling through the subways
Til the dawning day invaded us with light
Sister of light, take me home
Blessed Lucia take me home
To your house in Padua
I'll see you again in Rome
Show me, guide me to your side
Lucia shed your light

Heart Smile
03:36
|
|||
|
I know you've been crying
So I hang my love up on the line
I've got this funny feeling
That every little thing will turn out fine
Sometimes I know I'm wrong
When I just wanna make it right
But all I am today is wishing I could make your heart smile inside
I know there's a reason
For all these doubts and all this fear
I just want to hold you
And make those shadows disappear
Sometimes I know I'm wrong
when I just want to make it right
But all I am today is wishing I could make your heart smile
Sometimes you are the sky
And sometimes I am the rain
But all I am today is wishing I could make your heart smile again
Fear will fade with the light
We don't need to sacrifice
Sometimes we fill with joy
And sometimes it feels like pain
But all I am today is wishing I could make your heart smile again
But all I am today is wishing I could make your heart smile again

Fisk
04:43
|
|||
|
We took a trip up Jacob's Ladder
Cold stone sweat in our heads
Cataracture when sight don't matter
We took sea for our bed
We took a leap of faith together,
Delusion tempered our eyes
I will you will as it comes collective
You're so in tune with surprise
Of all the fish in the sea, the biggest is me
I turn the pressure on
Of all the birds in the sky I swoop and I dive
I'll turn the pressure on
Guaranteed to please your Mother
It's guaranteed to please your girlfriend
You clipped your wings when you flipped your exile
It's just the means to our ends
Of all the fish in the sea, the biggest is me
I turn the pressure on
Of all the birds in the sky I swoop and I dive
I'll turn the pressure on
Because you're young I'll let you walk away now
Becuase you're young I'll let you talk for hours now
Because you're young I'll let you talk me into this
Of all the fish in the sea, the biggest is me
I turn the pressure on
Of all the birds in the sky I swoop and I dive
I'll turn the pressure on
Everything comes to those who believe in me

Ashes
04:07
|
|||
|
Took an artist on satin sheets to bring me back round
To the beauty of philosophies as we burn to the ground
Leaving ashes of our love as we scatter them all to the wind
The ashes of our love as you pry my heart open again.
Threading our fingers, entwining our minds
As we're braiding like feathers and I'm burning inside you
Leaving ashes of our love as we scatter them all to the wind
Rise from the ashes of our love as you pry my heart open again
Sometimes I get brought down by the sadness with no name
But it's you that pulled me out like a Phoenix from a flame
The breath of temptation by the light of the moon
Leaving trails of inspiration makes these dead flowers bloom
From the ashes of our love scattered them all to the wind
Rise from the ashes of our love as you pry my heart open again
Sometimes I get dragged down by the madness with no shame
But it's you that pulled me out like a Phoenix from a flame
You came and saved my life as the pages all fan out
The lightness and the game like the Phoenix in your name

Burn
04:09
|
|||
|
You know as all the noises fade up
From all the nights we stayed up
And all the days I spent with you
So think twice before you go and tear up
The stories that we made up
The pages that we fold in two for love
As you know the way the wind is blowing
The way the the water's flowing
I would float a million miles to catch
The currents that we drift on
The breezes that we lift on
The wind behind our sails won't die
Because it's your love that makes me burn
Now it's over. It's gone
Do you know the storm's inside your teacup
The friendship shouldn't break up
It keeps us all from being alone
And you know if I never kiss you
I'll still always miss you ,
The fire in my heart won't die
Because it's your love that makes me burn
Now it's over. It's gone

Easy
03:03
|
|||
|
Easy, you make it so easy.
Easy, you're easy to love
I've heard so many people say
It's so hard to make a good love stay
So many people know if you don't wanna lose it
You only have to make it grow
Easy, you make it so easy.
Easy, you're easy to love
I don't know just what I should do
I've been running round the world after you
But I can't be all that I see
Reflected in your eyes every time that you look at me
If you open up your eyes see the light inside you mind
If you open up your eyes I'll be closer
If you open to the light inside your mind
Then you'll see who you are.
Easy, you make it so easy.
Easy, you're easy to love

Gossamer

|
Don't you cry, my little one
I'll dry your eyes, my little one
My arms will enfold you tonight
And fill your dreams with delight
Gossamer wings will fly you back home
We're so close to heaven, we melt in the sun
Gossamer wings will fly you back home
If I'm with you tonight
You're safe in my arms, my little one.
There's a fire in my heart to keep you warm
If I can just hold you tonight
I'll stay here until the end of time
Gossamer wings will fly you back home
We're so close to heaven, we melt in the sun
Gossamer wings will fly you back home
If I'm with you tonight
Tonight, there's so many stars in the sky
Tonight so much beauty brings tears to our eyes
Gossamer wings will fly you back home
We're so close to heaven, we melt in the sun
Gossamer wings will fly you back home
If I don't see you burning up the sky tonight

I Believe In Love
03:36
|
|||
|
Oh Lord I've been searching for something all my life
A candle to light up this darkness inside
Oh Lord bring her near me and keep her safe from harm
In the cold of this winter keep her warm
She's an angel in this darkness, makes the shadows disappear
And I believe in Love again.
Oh Lord I've been tested and driven out so far
Scattered like the pieces of my heart
Oh Lord keep her with me, and I'll never let her go.
She's the reason and the road that leads me home
She's an angel in this darkness, makes the shadows disappear
And I believe in Love again.
Oh Lord, I was grounded but now my heart has wings
my spirit was dumb but now it sings
Oh Lord there's a passion whenever I see her face
The sense of perfection full of grace.
She's an angel in this darkness, makes the shadows disappear
And I believe in Love again
And I believe in Love again.

Flower Girl
03:46
|
|||
|
I would like to feel your love unfurl
Folding back your petals, flower girl
Drown your troubles under me
Like your waves break on the sea
Never let me go, I'll hold you close
Scare away the pain my little ghost
Delicate as surgery
And subtle as a symphony
My flower girl
Float like perfume, flower girl
Spread your petals flower girl
For your love my flower girl
I will shine like the sun, I will rain like monsoon
For your love
Let's go up together on the roof
Celebrate the blossom of your youth
Fill the remains of the day
Winter is so far away
My flower girl
Float like perfume, flower girl
Spread your petals flower girl
For your love my flower girl
I will shine like the sun, I will rain like monsoon
For your love

Someone Better
03:02
|
|||
|
You treat yourself like a Pharaoh, man
So I'm building you a pyramid.
You live and die by your latest plan.
What you said and who you did.
There's always someone better
There's always someone better than you.
Look around at this world you made
Like you've been anaesthetised
An architect of your own tragedy
I can't pretend that I'm surprised
There's always someone better
There's always someone better than you.

Things We Look For
03:33
|
|||
|
Start again, let's make our way straight to the end
We stop all time, fevered in the brows of sublime
In one breath, everything we look for is gone away
Everything we look for is gone.
Start again, glue the broken pieces back in
After the rush pulled out the volcano in us
In one breath, everything we look for is gone away
Everything we look for is gone
I'll tell you a secret, I'll give you a clue
As naked as daylight, as bold as the moon
And as we get old and forget what we say
The things that we look for all trickling away
mixed in the earthquake or made in monsoon
As naked as daybreak and drunk in your room
Trapped in the armour our fears have made
The things that we look for all drifting away
The things that we look for all drifting away

Clockwork
04:40
|
|||
|
Time time time time's not on my side
Side side, works that I can't hide
Hide hide spill out like a tide
Tide tide.
So I sit and hey
Hey hey I just sit and sing
Sing sing words I cannot say
Say say straight up to your face
Face face I love
You take my hands, wind me up in you
You pull my springs, coil them up in you
You hold the key brings the life to me
Like clockwork
You you you are my paradigm
Dime you first thing on my mind
Mind mind each and every time
Time time we share
You take my hands, wind me up in you
You pull my springs, coil them up in you
You hold the key brings the life to me
Like clockwork

Since You've Been Gone
04:12
|
|||
|
Since you've been gone I've been lost without you.
Since you've been gone, I've been a lonely man without you.
I wanna taste your kiss,
My hands upon your waist
I wanna feel your breath on my face.
Since you've been gone I've been lost without you.
Since you've been gone, I've been a lonely man without you.
I wanna hear you laugh
Just to see you smile
I wanna feel your body next to mine.
'Cause you really move me.
Control me with your love
'Cause you really matter to me.
Angel give me love
'Cause you really moved me
Come drown me in your love
'Cause you really mattered me
Angel come back home
In my room I'll be waiting right here for you
All alone I'll be waiting right here for you
In my room I'll be waiting right here for you
All alone I'll be waiting right here for you
I'm here for you
Since you've been gone

In The Shadows
03:08
|
|||
|
The ocean's not so wide if we can reach the other side
In a song that's playing on the radio
I miss you in the night, got your kisses on my mind
I miss you in the morning when I wake up
You're not by my side
There's a hole inside my heart as I'm gazing at the stars
And they're shining all the time we've been apart
i miss you all the way to the ending of the day
And I shiver when I'm dreaming of your touch
I miss you so much
If you miss me too, I will come to you
And if you ask me to, I will fly to you
In the shadows til the wind blows me away
The world is not so cold if we let our love unfold
In the little notes that make the melody
I want to make you sing like the feathers to the wing
Because I miss you from the desert to the sea
Wish you were here with me
And if you want me to, I will run to you
And if you ask me to I will fly to you
In the shadows til the wind blows me away

Life On Loan
03:12
|
|||
|
Things are falling down the centre can’t hold
A touch of anarchy is let loose on the world
Prepare yourself for entertaining for the entertaining lies
Get ready for the entertainment
What’s the use of blaming life on loan if life’s your own?
We thank you for your time perhaps we’ll call you right back
You’re sucking on a lime but the sky will not crack
Prepare yourself for entertaining for the entertaining lies
Get ready for the entertainment
What’s the use of blaming life on loan if life’s your own?
All of the time you’re thinking
All of the wine you’re drinking
All of the lives you’re sinking
In sobriety
All of the time you’re stinking
All of the blood you’re drinking
All of the lives unlinking
From society

Living In A Dream
04:33

Such a beautiful morning such a beautiful day
Such a beautiful road that leads our beautiful way
You got such beautiful eyes to see this beautiful scene
It’s such a beautiful world we’re living in a dream
Such a beautiful sun up in the beautiful sky
Such a beautiful truth behind this beautiful life
Such a beautiful language to speak the beautiful words
Of such a beautiful voice that tells me “honey
You know this is my fantasy
I think we must be living in a dream”
You're such a beautiful treasure such a beautiful find
At your beautiful leisure in your own beautiful time
Such beautiful hours laid in your beautiful bed
We find such beautiful reasons to say “honey
You know this is my fantasy
I think we must be dreaming we
Create our own reality
I think we must be living in a dream”
We’re living in our fantasy

Distance
03:29
|

|
A treacherous night, a treasure so fleeting
It's a matter of time not reasons for leaving
The sting of goodbye, bitter as poison
I melt in your kiss, soft as a snowdrift
It's more than just a physical feeling
Saliva to dust from floor float to ceiling
if we're on the cusp of something with meaning
I treasure your kiss the moments in your life
Now this distance starts a fire,
Your memory burning in this heart of mine as melody
Still is the air, my mind keeps on racing
The devil may care if it's dreams that I'm chasing
I'm running scared of time that I'm wasting
I treasure your kiss moments in your life
Moments with you
Now this distance starts a fire,
Your memory burning in this heart of mine as melody

If you wanna hold my hand and follow me around
Then let go of this desperation now
Before you bring me down
If there's something in your head that you think is worth my time
Please don't let me see illusion in your lies
Because you bring me down
You tell me stories
I don't believe your stories
I promise that I'll make you sing your life
You make up stories about everything in your life
If you only let it go, it would all come on so slow
And the centrefold would roll out of the bone
If there's something in your thoughts that you think I underwrought
Please don't let the retaliation fly.
You tell me stories
I don't believe your stories
I promise that I'll make you sing your life
You make up stories about everything in your life
