Well we had to pull on something
so we're grabbing at the threads and now the world's unravelin' inside our very heads Glasses smeared with lipstick hungry eyes out in the street Same old bodies moving to the same old beat Had to draw the line Had to draw the line All this talk of hypnotising we can ill afford to give ourselves to sentiment when our time is oh so short Names beneath the lichen on these, cemetery stones There are carnivals of silver fish waiting to dance upon our bones Had to draw the line help me draw the line help me draw the line help me draw the line I've been doubting yours baby I've been doubting mine I've been out of circulation where the sun don't shine I've been doubting fame and wealth, charity, even love itself draw the line I aint saying he's bad baby, I aint saying he's good Merely that he ain't so different 'neath the executioner's hood In the name of liberty, in the name of brotherhood had to draw the line had to draw the line Need to take some pride baby need to take some heart need to take evasive action when the rumpass start Here we are buck naked yeah but where should we begin? when it's not the flesh we're after but the howlin' ghost within help me draw the line help me draw the line help me draw the line need to draw the line help me draw the line need to draw the line had to draw the line pack your bags we're going home pack you're bags we're going home |

'Neath an avalanche - soft as moss I'm a creeping and intangible sense of loss I'm the memory you can't get out your head If I leave you now You'll wish you were somewhere else instead I'm the manta ray - I'm the louse I am a photograph they found in your burned out house I'm the sound of money washing down the drain I am the pack of lies baby that keeps you sane Gates of Heaven are open wide God help me baby I'm trapped inside Feel like I'm buried alive I'm the bottom line - of the joke I am ecstasy - spilling like bright egg yolk I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share And I am the smell of it - you're trying to wash out of you hair Gates of Heaven are open wide God help me baby I'm lost inside Feel like I'm buried alive Possibilities limitless Just give me something that's more than this One shot and I'll never miss yes I'm the babe that sleeps through the blitz I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else I am your nemesis Baby I'm life sweet life itself yeah (3x) |

I'm like a jackdaw
Cawing at your back door Scratching at your windowpane Hey throw your window wide And taste the April night with me again Girl we been veering Backwards disappearing Down into the murky deep Baby come on We'll be a long time gone That's time enough for sleep And hey now don't run and hide Your little heart away If it's gone We'll sure never find it Pining for lost innocence Our hammers beating hard Against that old facade Some other air to breathe That we might break these molds And free our restless souls Start to believe That we can rise above Our pettiness and love Like we ain't loved before Free on this earth As the surf that rolls And crashes on the shore And hey now don't run and hide Your little heart away If it's gone We'll sure never find it Pining for lost innocence Tantalizingly I saw Our shadows moving through the door Traces from a different time When I was yours and you were truly mine All mine And I still want you yeah I still want you yeah I still want you yeah I still want you yeah And I still want you yeah I still want you yeah I still want you yeah I still want you And baby don't run and hide Your little heart away If it's gone We'll sure never find it Pining for lost innocence Pining for lost innocence Pining for lost innocence |

Lay down my head by the wayside
My worn out shoes Quite why she went I can’t decide Yeah but I sure could use One plate of food steaming and hot Clean linen ironed On a fresh made bed but I ain’t got One salty dime, one salty dime Just close your eyes it won’t take long It won’t hurt a bit Telling myself I could be strong Or some such brave bullshit Trucks are roaring by I’m a red ghost In their tail light gleam I’m a tumbleweed, I’m a spit roast Just turning in your flame Oh my darlin’ Kathleen Oh my darlin’ Kathleen Cars they sound like waves that are breaking On some distant shore I gazed so hard into the great aching sky It seemed that I, I wasn’t here no more That my rushing blood was a river My eyes two stars My blowing hair all a quiver A whispering field of grass That murmurs as you pass Oh my darlin’ Kathleen That whispers out your name Oh my darlin’ Kathleen Oh my darlin’ Kathleen |

Like a bird upon release
Through the atmosphere Like a honking flock of geese Winter drawing near As the fabric comes unstitched Hearts and minds and eyes bewitched Standing watching for the smoke to clear First chance I get I'm gone Moses had his tablets yeah Noah had his ark All I got's a haystack needle Stabbing in the dark Anguished cries and old footfalls Permeate these paper walls Need some action all you get is talk First chance I get I'm gone I'm outta here First chance I get I'm gone I'm outta here Here's one for the boys back home yeah Here's one for your spokes A little taste of victory To send back to your folks Here's one for the fireside The grinning groom the blushing bride Come and feast your eyes upon the hoax First chance I get I'm gone I'm outta here First chance I get I'm gone I'm outta here Over Lake Superior And the Arctic Sea Through the dark interior The stolen territory Want it with the cream on top One more lifetime swallowed up He'll be back yeah just you wait and see First chance I get I'm gone I'm outta here First chance I get I'm gone I'm outta here First chance First chance I'm outta here First chance First chance I'm outta here And it's a long way back From where you are And it's a long way back From where you are And it's a long way back From where you are It's a long It's a long It's a long |

Can’t recall the moment when the doubt
Ripped your face Or put my finger on quite when the fog Took your place Now we’ve been beating on it 'til we’re black and blue Just what good exactly is it gonna do Always so much harder So much harder when you have to try Could we at least agree upon the size And the shape The relative dimensions that the lie Ought to take For your delectation a scenario Taken so much further than it needs to go Always so much harder Always so much If we could get away just for a week or two Baby let it burn the way it used to do Always so much harder So much harder when you have to try Have to try And if the ground should open up And swallow me It would not stop That minute hand from ticking off The minutes 'til the penny drop Not a breath of wind And not a cloud in the sky All the better then to watch the world passing by Passing by Passing by Passing by |

Oh my hearties bold as brass
Roll it out like summer grass Take me back where I come from Transformation has begun Throwing off the clothes of day Complications fall away All I am is laid to waste Transformation takes my place And just you keep it coming A feeling I ain’t never felt before And the way my heart is drumming Well caution just goes flying Right out the door And ain’t this really something We’re walking but our feet Don’t touch the floor Anymore Standing quiet as a mouse Rhododendrons for my house Water lapping at my feet Transformation is complete |

Stella she gave me a state of grace
I'm armour plated 4 inches thick Now all I got was a little taste I'm gibbering like a lunatic Stella the artist Just for now at least you're mine All mine No need to be modest As the daylight creeps Take her hand and reach through time I felt the sting of my own rebuke Come spinning back like a boomerang I swam the sea of psychotic puke Nursing my love like a guilty pang Stella the artist Just for now at least you're mine All mine No need to be modest As the daylight creeps Take her hand and reach You're only saying what they all say You're only saying what they all say It should be more like the old days It should be more like the old days Oh man Stella the artist As the daylight creeps Take her hand and reach through time Stella the artist Just for now at least you're mine All mine No need to be modest As the daylight creeps And the floorboard creaks And your poor heart leaps Take her hand and reach through time |

Wake, wake and the moments gone
Wake, wake and the moments gone Wake, wake and the moments gone Wake, wake and the moments gone Then the door bell rings Some ask u could Spare a little time To feel the weight that's mine The lower down you go Get out your heart get sniped Caught in the wheels in dust tracks Angle on the edge Breathe Feel your in too deep So ill corrupt some ton Drop it in the tin An slither back within Your crenelated wealth Your educated self Your family in rue-health And all the joy it bring Aren't we forgetting something? Feed it on the ledge, Feed it on the ledge Breathe, Breathe, Breathe, Breathe And in the heat of bloom You find you're like some dog Parked up in a field Medically sealed Scratching at the wind shield And howling at the glass And anyone might walk past Were you not aware? Were you not aware? Were you not aware? Breathe The sea of broken lives Mechanics, doctor, house wives Feed it on the ledge Feed it on the ledge Feed it on the ledge And Breathe Breathe |

All our lives we've dreamed about it
Just to find that it was never real This sure ain't no great Valhalla Coming closer each turn of the wheel Forlorn adrift on seas of beige In this our Golden Age Bullied suckered pimped and patronized Every day your tawdry little lives So loose your head And step within The silence deafening Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming We all saw it coming But we still bought it Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming but still Running full steam ahead In and out of consciousness It breaks my heart to see you like this Crying wringing hands and cursing fate Always so little far too late It's 3am I'm wide awake There's still one call to make Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming We all saw it coming But we still bought it Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming We all saw it coming But we still bought it Running full steam ahead Running full steam ahead Running full steam Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming and I Running full steam Now you And I We all saw it coming But we still bought it We all saw it coming But we Still bought it |

Maybe that it would do me good
If I believed there were a god Cut in the starry firmament But as it is that's just a lie And I'm here eating up the boredom On an island of cement Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it Open window and I'll steal it Baby like it's heaven sent This ain't no love that's guiding me Some days I'm bursting at the seams With all my half remembered dreams And then it shoots me down again I feel the dampness as it creeps I hear you coughing in your sleep Beneath a broken window pane Tomorrow girl I'll buy you chips A lollipop to stain your lips And it'll all be right as rain This ain't no love that's guiding me This ain't no love that's guiding me No it ain't no love guiding me No it ain't no love guiding me No it ain't no love guiding me This ain't no love that's guiding me This ain't no love that's guiding me On winter trees the fruit of rain Is hanging trembling in the branches Like a thousand diamond buds And waiting there in every pause That old familiar fear that claws you Tells you nothing ain't no good Then pulling back you see it all Down here so laughable and small Hardly a quiver in the dirt This ain't no love that's guiding me |

Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red Turning over TV stations Situations running through my head Well looking back through time You know it's clear that I've been blind I've been a fool To ever open up my heart To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule Saturday I'm running wild And all the lights are changing red to green Moving through the crowd I'm pushing Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream Only wish that you were here You know I'm seeing it so clear I've been afraid To tell you how I really feel Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made If you want it Come and get it Crying out loud The love that I was Giving you was Never in doubt Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Babylon, Babylon Sunday all the lights of London Shining , Sky is fading red to blue I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves And wondering where it is you might be going to Turning back for home You know I'm feeling so alone I can't believe Climbing on the stair I turn around to see you smiling there In front of me If you want it Come and get it Crying out loud The love that I was Giving you was Never in doubt And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now Babylon, Babylon, Babylon written by David Gray in 1998 |

While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve While I was watching you did a slow dissolve Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes Did I imagine they held us hypnotized Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes Life in slow motion somehow it don’t feel real Life in slow motion somehow it don’t feel real Life in slow motion somehow it don’t feel real Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands Snowflakes are falling now you’re my long lost friend |

Gonna close my eyes
Gonna watch you go Running through this life, darling Like a field of snow As the tracer glides And its graceful arc Send a little prayer up to you Cross the falling dark Tell the repo man And the stars above That you're the one I love Perfect summer's night Not a wind or breeze Just the bullets whispering gentle Amongst the new green leaves These things I might have said Only wish I could Now I'm leaking life faster than I'm leaking blood Tell the repo man And the stars above That you're the one I love Don't see elysium Don't see no fiery hell Just the lights all bright, baby, in the big hotel Next wave coming in Like an ocean rock Won't you take my hand, darling, on that old dance floor We can twist and shout Do the turtle dove |

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side I'll see you on the other side See you on the other side Honey now if I'm honest I still don't know what love is Another mirage folds into the haze of time recalled And now the floodgates cannot hold All my sorrow all my rage A tear that falls on every page Meet me on the other side Meet me on the other side Maybe I oughta mention Was never my intention To harm you or your kin Are you so scared to look within The ghosts are crawling on our skin We may race and we may run We'll not undo what has been done Or change the moment when it's gone Meet me on the other side Meet me on the other side I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on the other side I know it would be outrageous To come on all courageous And offer you my hand To pull you up on to dry land When all I got is sinking sand That trick ain't worth the time it buys I'm sick of hearing my own lies And love's a raven when it flies Meet me on the other side Meet me on the other side I'll see you on the other side See you on the other side Honey now if I'm honest I still don't know what love is |
