Standing on a beach
With a gun in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring down the barrel At the Arab on the ground See his open mouth But hear no sound I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an Arab I can turn and walk away Or I can fire the gun Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Whichever I choose It amounts to the same Absolutely nothing I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an Arab Feel the steel butt jump Smooth in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring at myself Reflected in the eyes of The dead man on the beach The dead man On the beach I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an Arab |

10:15 on a Saturday night
And the tap drips under the strip light And I'm sitting in the kitchen sink And the tap drips Drip drip drip... Waiting for the telephone to ring And I'm wondering where she's been And I'm crying for yesterday And the tap drips Drip drip drip... It's always the same |

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind But I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would break down at your feet And beg forgiveness, plead with you But I know that it's too late And now there's nothing I can do So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would tell you that I loved you If I thought that you would stay But I know that it's no use That you've already gone away Misjudged your limits Pushed you too far Took you for granted I thought that you needed me more, more, more Now I would do most anything To get you back by my side But I just keep on laughing Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry Boys don't cry |

Don't say what you mean
You might spoil your face If you walk in the crowd You won't leave any trace It's always the same You're jumping someone else's train It won't take you long To learn the new smile You have to adapt Or you'll be out of style It's always the same You're jumping someone else's train If you pick up on it quick You can say you were there Again and again and again You're jumping someone else's train It's the latest wave That you've been craving for The old ideal was getting such a bore Now you're back in line Going not quite quite as far But in half the time Everyone's happy They're finally all the same Because everyone's jumping Everybody else's train Jumping someone else's train Jumping someone else's train Jumping someone else's train |

Come closer and see
See into the trees Find the girl While you can Come closer and see See into the dark Just follow your eyes Just follow your eyes I hear her voice Calling my name The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees Into the trees Into the trees Suddenly I stop But I know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again |

It's not a case of doing what's right
It's just the way I feel that matters Tell me I'm wrong I don't really care It's not a case of share and share alike I take what I require I don't understand You say it's not fair You expect me to act like a lover Consider my moves and deserve the reward To hold you in my arms And wait And wait And wait for something to happen It's not a case of telling the truth Some lines just fit the situation You call me a liar You would anyway It's not a case of aiming to please You know you're always crying It's just your part In the play for today |

The innocence of sleeping children
Dressed in white and slowly dreaming Stops all time I slow my steps and start to blur So many years have filled my heart I never thought I'd say those words The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show The very first time I saw your face I thought of a song And quickly changed the tune The very first time I touched your skin I thought of a story And rushed to reach the end too soon Oh, remember Oh, please don't change So the fall came Thirteen years A shiny ring and how I could forget your name The air no longer in my throat Another perfect lie is choked But it always feels the same So they close together Dressed in red and yellow Innocent forever Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms still dream The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show |

Whisper your name
In an empty room You brush past my skin As soft as fur Taking hold I taste your scent Distant noises Other voices Pounding in my broken head Commit the sin Commit yourself And all the other voices said Change your mind You're always wrong Come around at Christmas I really have to see you Smile at me slyly Another festive compromise But I live with desertion And eight million people Distant noises Other voices Pulsing in my swinging arms Caress the sound So many dead And all the other voices said Change your mind You're always wrong |

All the faces
All the voices blur Change to one face Change to one voice Prepare yourself for bed The light seems bright And glares on white walls All the sounds of Charlotte sometimes Into the night with Charlotte sometimes Night after night she lay alone in bed Her eyes so open to the dark The streets all looked so strange They seemed so far away But Charlotte did not cry The people seemed so close Playing expressionless games The people seemed So close So many Other names... Sometimes I'm dreaming Where all the other people dance Sometimes I'm dreaming Charlotte sometimes Sometimes I'm dreaming Expressionless the trance Sometimes I'm dreaming So many different names Sometimes I'm dreaming The sounds all stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming She hopes to open shadowed eyes On a different world Come to me Scared princess Charlotte sometimes On that bleak track (See the sun is gone again) The tears were pouring down her face She was crying and crying for a girl Who died so many years before... Sometimes I dream Where all the other people dance Sometimes I dream Charlotte sometimes Sometimes I dream The sounds all stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming There are so many different names Sometimes I dream Sometimes I dream... Charlotte sometimes crying for herself Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself But it's always with love With so much love it looks like Everything else Of Charlotte sometimes So far away Glass sealed and pretty Charlotte sometimes |

Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again In the hanging garden please don't speak In the hanging garden no one sleeps In the hanging garden Catching haloes on the moon Gives my hands the shapes of angels In the heat of the night the animals scream In the heat of the night walking into a dream Fall fall fall fall into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall out of the sky Cover my face as the animals cry In the hanging garden Creatures kissing in the rain Shapeless in the dark again In a hanging garden change the past In a hanging garden wearing furs and masks Fall fall fall fall into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall out of the sky Cover my face as the animals die In the hanging garden As the animals die Cover my face as the animals die In the hanging garden |

Let me take your hand
I'm shaking like milk Turning Turning blue All over the windows and the floors Fires outside in the sky Look as perfect as cats The two of us together again But it's just the same A stupid game But I don't care if you don't And I don't feel if you don't And I don't want it if you don't And I won't say it If you don't say it first You think you're tired now But wait until three... Laughing at the Christmas lights You remember From December All of this then back again Another girl Another name Stay alive but stay the same It's just the same A stupid game stupid game But I don't care if you don't And I don't feel if you don't And I don't want it if you don't And I won't play it If you don't play it first You can't even see now So you ask me the way You wonder if it's real Because it couldn't be rain... Through the right doorway And into the white room It used to be the dust that would lay here When I came here alone But I don't care if you don't And I don't feel if you don't And I don't want it if you don't And I won't say it If you don't say it first Doo doo doo doo Let's go to bed! Doo doo doo doo Let's go to bed! |

I called you after midnight
Then ran until I burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door We walked around a lake And woke up in the rain And everyone turned over Troubled in their dreams again Visiting time is over And so we walk away And both play dead then cry out loud Why we always cry this way? I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything... I called you after midnight Then ran until my heart burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything... |

We move like caged tigers
Oh, we couldn't get closer than this The way we walk The way we talk The way we stalk The way we kiss We slip through the streets While everyone sleeps Getting bigger and sleeker And wider and brighter We bite and scratch and scream all night Let's go and throw All the songs we know... Into the sea You and me All these years and no one heard I'll show you in spring It's a treacherous thing "We missed you", hissed the lovecats We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully Wonderfully pretty! Oh you know that I'd do anything for you... We should have each other to tea huh? We should have each other with cream Then curl up in the fire And sleep for awhile It's the grooviest thing It's the perfect dream Into the sea You and me All these years and no one heard I'll show you in spring It's a treacherous thing "We missed you", hissed the lovecats "We missed you", hissed the lovecats "We missed you", hissed the lovecats "We missed you", hissed the lovecats We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully Wonderfully pretty! You know that I'd do anything for you... We should have each other for dinner We should have each other with cream Then curl up in the fire Get up for awhile It's the grooviest thing It's the perfect dream Hand in hand Is the only way to land And always the right way round Not broken in pieces Like hated little meeces... How could we miss Someone as dumb as this? "We missed you", hissed the lovecats I love you... let's go... Oh... solid gold... Lo-lo-lo-lo-Lovecats... How could we miss Someone as dumb as this? |

Here you are
Caterpillar girl Flowing in and filling up my hopeless heart Oh never never go Oh I dust my lemon lies With powder pink and sweet The day I stop is the day you change And fly away from me You flicker and you're beautiful You glow inside my head You hold me hypnotized I'm mesmerized Your flames The flames that kiss me dead I dust my lemon lies With powder pink and sweet The day I stop is the day you change And fly away from me Here you are Caterpillar girl Flowing in and filling up my hopeless heart Oh never never go Oh I dust my lemon lies With powder pink and sweet The day I stop is the day you change And fly away from me |

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die Yesterday I got so old It made me want to cry Go on go on Just walk away Go on go on Your choice is made Go on go on And disappear Go on go on Away from here And I know I was wrong When I said it was true That it couldn't be me And be her inbetween without you Without you Yesterday I got so scared I shivered like a child Yesterday away from you It froze me deep inside Come back come back Don't walk away Come back come back Come back today Come back come back Why can't you see Come back come back Come back to me And I know I was wrong When I said it was true That it couldn't be me And be her inbetween without you Without you Without you |

I've waited hours for this, I've made myself so sick, I wish I'd stayed Asleep today, Thought this day would never end Never thought tonight could ever be So close to me Just try to see in the dark, Just try to make it work, I feel the fear Before you're here, Make the shapes come much too close, Pull my eyes out, Hold my breath and wait, 'Til I shake But if I had your faith, I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure, That your hand on the door was a dream I've waited hours for this, I made myself so sick I wished I'd stayed Asleep today Never thought this day would end, Never thought tonight could ever be So close to me, But if I had your faith, I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure, That your hand on the door was a dream |

Say goodbye on a night like this
If it's the last thing we ever do You never looked as lost as this Sometimes it doesn't even look like you It goes dark it goes darker still please stay But I watch you like I'm made of stone As you walk away I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night A witch hunt for another girl For always and ever is always for you Your trust the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world Say hello on a day like today Say it everytime you move The way that you look at me now Makes me wish I was you It goes deep It goes deeper still this touch And the smile And the shake of your head And the smile And the shake of your head I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night Can't stand here like this anymore For always and ever is always for you I want it to be perfect like before Oh I want to change it all Oh I want to change I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night Can't stand here like this anymore For always and ever is always for you I want it to be perfect like before Oh I want to change it all Oh I want to change |
