Walking into light
From the blank evening sky Knuckles rub away the darkness Circling my eyes Walking into warmth From the cold evening air Numb white fingers push Greasy rain through my hair You walk into view From shadow thrown against the door Hands reach out and grasp the moment They've been waiting for You pull me close Dampness seeps through to your skin You peel the layers away I feel the fire ignite within You create the feeling I contain the need It's moments that we're stealing No pleasure's ever free You sustain the rhythm I'll maintain the beat It's the only ,chance we're given Let's turn this cold to heat You possess the notion I take full heed We're bound by this emotion Two bodies - one heartbeat You create the feeling I contain the need You sustain the rhythm I'll maintain the beat Desire comes alive Nothing interrupts the flow Water nurtures every crevice Where this love needs to grow Sliding to the floor We swell , falling to the ground The world becomes a place With no clear shapes, with no clear sounds We're lost for a short while In the knot where love's entwined You pour the freedom from deep inside I drink it back like wine The murmur of your voice Soft words soothe away the doubt your strength - so essential Something i can't do without You .... Inside we slow each movement 'Til we're static once again Outside the city runs Cars through roads like blood through veins Here sweet sticky air Locke a cover keeps us warm Drops of love fall from us The last moments of the storm Opening my eyes You're even closer now to me As the crowd goes pushing onwards Crashing forwards like a sea We turn and feel the world Right now a million miles away It's always there to interfere But I'm always here to say You .... ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By CLARKE, ANNE/HARROW, DAVID <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Planes thrust
Up thru' the pink Northern sky In perfect time Heavy bright White ships Glide on grey waters Stained shades of blue Past your window Past your view Sunlight rich Precious as gold Unfolds Unrolls a new day Clarity and light Shine a new way Contact made And at last I am seeing things anew Colours come pouring out From where I stand With you. |

Here
Upon these ghostly shadows Of men and women There are no smiles Singly They mingle With the greyness of the walls And at strange angels They travel on To nowhere Each a nucleus Of sadness and despair Small Or no conversation Passes their cigarette-stained lips They sit The lonely ones Sitting eternally In institutions That have become their eyes That have become their arms Their legs They are empty now Just shells moving back and forth Upon a shore Of some uncharted beach Up steep green hills They linger Like the darkness thoughts That push them selves Into your mind You cannot question them For they will not answer you They Are our deepest fears |

They fuck you up, your mum and dad
They may not mean to but they do They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old style hats and coats Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one anothers throats Man hands on misery to man It deepens like a coastal shelf Get out as early as you can And don't have any kids yourself |

Sweat runs down the centre of my back
Crawling like an insect - it makes a track Sweat runs down the nape of my neck Anticipation - the cause and the effect So catch each drop as I catch each breath 'Til there's no doubt, no indecision, 'til there's not one question left Walking streets alone amid a mass of strangers' faces Fill my time with thoughts of you and I in distant places Now I must have you! You breathe new life - it's all around It calls my name without a sound This distance cuts down deep inside Planes carve like knives across the sky I must be with you! This place never cares to see who goes or who remains I wait and watch the boats set sail, I linger and listen to the far off trains This land of mine drifts off alone, far out to sea With no direction, no intention, nothing left to offer me And I can't stay! It stand alone - back on the world And through it all it still seems to curl Itself around the people, binding tighter than a rope Gives nothing away for something, each day without hope It's no home for the luxury of love! The good life out of each on the placards Doesn't hide away the truth of the broken down facades The buildings burn, the streets on fire Every muscle, every nerve stretched to reach for somewhere higher Feel me now! Will you remain, place your trust Turn ideas into motions before mechanisms rust Will you hold me tight with arms, with words, in your comfort keep me warm I beg refuge in your shelter as I fly into the storm Take me! Take me now! |

So these are circumstances
Leading to my sorry tale I was in a town I didn't know I'd arrived there by rail It all began a week before - The joys of Saturday Night - An invite to a party Or watching The Price Is Right Opting for a soir챕e For the first time in a year Mixed badly with the revelers Mixed Bacardi, wine and beer The room moved back and forwards The dancers did the same Found refuge in a corner That's when he asked my name Well this is very nice, I thought Smiling through the haze As we talked of Auguste Rodin Through to Harold Pinter's plays Said he played piano Said his name was Steve Why shouldn't I believe That he really lived so far away Had to make a move for home Scribbled down his address Said he didn't have a phone Would I like to come to dinner On Friday of next week To this i said I'd love to As he kissed me on the cheek That night I felt so happy Excited through and through See ! The company of strangers Doesn't always leave you blue Stumbled home contented Like a cat that got the cream Wake up a little weary But I knew it was no dream The next few days were auyiouns What could I find to wear ? What happens if i arrive And there is no Hope Road there ? My friend said don't be silly No one does things like that Now will you get a move on And take off that stupid hat ! Made sure I set out early Made sure I caught the train Got out at the right station Then of course came down the rain Followed the directions Exactly as he said Asked people if they new Hope Road But they just walked on ahead I turned left at the junction Took the fork off to the right Straight over at the crossroads Then down to the traffic lights must have walked those streets for hours in the dark and in the cold Before I really could accept There was no place called Hope Road So here I am alone again Indoors by myself The TV, plants, books and I All nearly on the shelf Next time I'll be more cautions Next time I Won't be fooled It's another of those basic things You're never taught at school Let this be a warning As you wander through the world It makes no difference who you are Be you boy or be you girl Be very , very careful When people seems so nice It's not how that it's expensive Later on you pay the price There's no Hope Road |

This house is full of loneliness
Of sad weary silence I switch on the television For some company Two actors A man and a Woman Give exaggerated little moans As they simulate A so called stimulating fuck For my entertainment Beneath the endless groans It's not real It's pretend Just like we pretended that last time To make you Night is the most difficult part off all I don't need this This vile, crude reminder Of how we play out our roles Without any script at all |

Remember me for what I was
Not as I am now I'll merge into the shadows I'll disappear into the rain Remember me for what I was Not as you see me now I'll walk out into tomorrow I'll melt into the sun Remember me for what I was A glance in your direction at the right time A smile breaking into a crescent moon A word of reassurance I'll protect myself Against the cold lash of tongues and lies I'll blend in with the crowd I'll disperse into the stream I'll fade into the darkness I'll turn and walk away Remember me for what I was As one world breaks in two I'll follow my own stricts I'll forge another path Remember me for what I was Not what I couldn't be Remember me for what I was And shall never be again |
