The Lightning Seeds - Life Of Riley The Lightning Seeds Collection [compilation] (2004) by The Lightning Seeds (보컬) on maniadb.com

I'm flying high on something beautiful and aimless,
it's got a name but I prefer to call it nameless.
It comes and goes leaves me on a bed of splinters,
feels like I'm living in a town closed down for winter.

The taste of Love,
the more you get, the more you want,
and all because,
the only reason is just because.
It all makes Sense,
when you're near
it all makes Sense.

I'm standing high on tiptoes looking over fences,
waiting for somebody like you to kiss me Senseless.
I've had a bellyfull of faces drawn in sadness,
I want to jump deep into tides of loving madness.

I'm pushed and pulled and shunted,
Man-handled and man-hunted,
By those faceless names.
You've got nine lives,
I've got eight,
I just can't wait
To lock the door,
And throw the keys away.
I'll call as soon as it's all over,
Let's wait until the World is sober.
The World is wide,
Manhattan chase,
Misguided missiles spin in space,

I feel like a sundial in the shade,
Where flowers fade...
I feel like a poor relation,
Passing through an empty station,
On this empty track.
I'm half poverty,
Half oysters,
No morals,
Tarnished laurels,
Going nowhere fast.
You don't get smoke without a fire,
Next time I'll vote for Billy Liar.
I hate liars,
I hate cheats,
Waving flags and saving nations,
Goodbye love, Goodbye Peace,
I hate war,
It ruins conversation.

Angels rub their eyes,
A frown on their faces.
The future's floating by,
But I'm too tired to face it.
Televisions smile,
And fools never doubt it.
Whispers multiply,
They all want to shout it.
Build a ladder to the stars,
The angles dry their eyes,
Marooned in the sky tonight.
You can turn your world to stone,
Build a wall till you're on your own.
You can close the window tight,
But you can't keep out the night.
