When I look up to the sky
I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow I rush home to bed I soak my head I see your face underneath my pillow I wake next morning, tired, still yawning See your face come peeping through my window Pictures of matchstick men and you Pictures of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you Windows echo your reflection When I look in their direction now When will this haunting stop? Your face it just won't leave me alone Pictures of matchstick men and you Mirages of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you You in the sky, you with this guy You make men cry, you lie You in the sky, you with this guy You make men cry, you lie Pictures of matchstick men and Pictures of matchstick men and you Pictures of matchstick men .... |

If I see you hiding in the night by a peppercorn tree
The tree it moves, lets me see what I wanna see A poison gaze of your mind is all that's worrying me. The pictures that I see are seen by no-one else but me To cause the night to be in sight, a little point of me I imagine nearly anything I want to see. Black veils of melancholy falling on me Black veils keep shadowing my mind Black veils that make my mind seem small Black veils of melancholy falling on me Black veils keep shadowing my mind Black veils that make my mind seem small I see you with my eyes closed getting closer and closer to me I open my eye up and you're not there It's all in my mind Black veils of melancholy falling on me Black veils keep shadowing my mind Black veils that make my mind seem small Black veils of melancholy falling on me Black veils keep shadowing my mind Black veils that make my mind seem small |

If I find a place to hide
Where I can put those people of my mind I'm gonna lay my head down hard And sleep that stops my head from spinning round Help me with my situation, I just wanna be me I'm living frustration just to be free, I must be free I just wanna be left on my own Leave me to a life that's mine alone. Take my hand, come with me To a place where we'll be free Help me with my situation, I just wanna be me I'm living frustration just to be free, I must be free I just wanna be left on my own Leave me to a life that's mine alone. I just wanna be left on my own Leave me to a life that's mine alone |

I'm not a little boy, I've lived alone and never loved so more
But when she touches me I'm on the way, I'm underneath the floor Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like in in the sun I melt away I sit down in a chair and read a book as if I couldn't there But she is in a room and I must look I see her everywhere Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like in in the sun I melt away She opens up her eyes as if to speak She looks at me and I am weak Her eyes they seem much bigger than before I cannot think anymore Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like in in the sun I melt away Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like ice in the sun I melt away |

In a world of education there's no time for compassion
Life's a fire, never ending, bringing pain and then befriending And like a fire that burns no light And drifts to heaven, so ends another life Is there time to care, it's only fair that life goes on And on and on and on 'til in the end you can't go on So ends another life to let this world go on Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none There's a hunter with his gun pointing upwards to the sun Thinks a bird can feel no pain, if it can it won't again And like a fire that burns no light And drifts to heaven, so ends another life Is there time to care, it's only fair that life goes on And on and on and on 'til in the end you can't go on So ends another life to let this world go on Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none So ends another life to let this world go on Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none So ends another life to let this world go on Don't cry for pity my friend |

People all around they look at you, and I have seen them sneer
But they don't realise how much I need you, so let me make it very clear That you won't have to worry just 'cos your clothes are torn Your windows they need cleaning and the weeds are growing high But Little Miss Nothing I won't pass you by You have no daddy to tell your troubles to, but don't you worry I'll share them with you We won't worry about the stormy weather, if you have troubles we'll share them together Your house is nearly falling, but I'll change all that for you Your windows they need cleaning and the weeds are growing high But Little Miss Nothing I won't pass you by Now I will clean your windows, cut the weeds from high to low I will mend your rooftops, and the taps again will flow But Little Miss Nothing I won't let you go |
