She stares into the mirror, you're fading with the sun
The hollows in her face like wishing wells Scarlet as a papercut and jeweled as the Orion She never wore that jewellery as a girl She says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" She says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" He stares into the river, heart falling to the drift An argument of calls moving full steam behind Bloodshot as a baby and sulking like a valley Fishing in reflections, killing time He says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" He says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" It's a bath that's getting cold while you're frozen to your bed The milk that's going rancid on the table The panic in the evening, the photos in the dustbin The pointless items we forgot to label It's the perfume on her wrist that stinks of easy birthday's The spare keys like asbestos on the side It's the cross around his neck, for luck and not for honor Like diamond over knuckle on a newly married bride She says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" He says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" I know the only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love I know the only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love |

I pressed my ear to your chest
And heard something personal. A whisper that knew my name. Is it how your heart treats all strangers? With love and affection? Then I feel cold and empty. I've got a sense of urgency. I've got to make this happen. No stone unturned. I've got a sense of urgency. I've got to make something happen. No stone unturned. I held your hand while you were sleeping The whole night you griped to mine. A grip that begged me to stay. Is this how your limbs treat all strangers? With love and affection? Then I fell weak and empty. Strangers don't hide. The morning hunts you down. And there's nothing stranger Than to love someone. I heard the water beat at your skin A shower of discipline, as heavy as iron. And I imagined the hand that gripped mine. Now gripping the gaps in the tiles. Just holding on tight. |

You took the tunnel route home, you've never taken that way with me before Did you feel the need for change? Apologies on your fingernails, love flickered in the city of lights Like good singers on radio waves I don't need your tears I don't want your love I just gotta get home And I feel like I'm breaking up, and I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me, I don't want you to pray This is bigger than us You went where the horses cry, you've never taken that way with me before Did you feel the need for change? Guilt smeared across your lips, I was tired and cold from the window You're time, nothing has changed I don't need your tears I don't want your love I just gotta get home And I feel like I'm breaking up, and I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me, I don't want you to pray This is bigger than us |

Hold tight for heartbreak
Buckle up for loneliness Right time to get away Where I'm going, I couldn't care I'm bored and I'm afraid I'm falling like rain for you So tired and picking skin Just cos it's something to do Bored girls and sad boys Dull roads to anywhere Bad sex and enthanol High scores on solitaire Im numb and getting off Getting real done with you Big plans that never come Holding out for something new Can anybody hear me? Is anybody out there? Not a soul in a street-light This might be love Can anybody hear me? Is anybody out there? Not a soul in a street-light This might be love Hold tight for heartbreak Buckle up for loneliness Right time to get away Where I'm going, I couldn't care Dead dreams and dirty clothes Calls that are long overdue Cheap highs and souvenirs So many knots that I'll never undo Can anybody hear me? Is anybody out there? Not a soul in a street-light This might be love Can anybody hear me? Is anybody out there? Not a soul in a street-light This might be love Can anybody hear me? Is anybody out there? Not a soul in a street-light This might be love Can anybody hear me? Is anybody out there? Not a soul in a street-light This might be love |

You were writhing on the floor like a moth in molasses
Whoever taught you to move your body like that? Goose pimples just vanished like some out of date acid Whoever taught you to scream like that? Maybe someday I could move like you (Maybe someday I could move like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost Maybe someday I can scream like you (Maybe someday I can scream like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost You were crying on the shoulders of the men in the shadows Whoever taught you to sell your sex like that? I'm thinking two halos in a stain-glass window Jesus' strangers are as strange as that Maybe someday I could move like you (Maybe someday I could move like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost Maybe someday I can scream like you (Maybe someday I can scream like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost Maybe someday I could move like you (Maybe someday I could move like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost Maybe someday I can scream like you (Maybe someday I can scream like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost |

The market-place has nothing to sell
Left alone its awning's shiver Wind whilstles through the wood Fish teeth snapping in a river Peaks puncture the sky Like a child's icy toes Dipped in a stream That a few of us know And the clouds just a ripple? A shock from the impact? Shadows on the streets Look like veils at morning Ice blots in the stone cracks Where tears must have fallen Oil by the bucket feeds flares to the heavens Offerings of incense, small bills and lemons Drumbeats in the caves and hearbeats in the huts Protectors unveiled for the first time in months You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells The storm clouds pass And everything's for sale The chattering of rapids And the bartering of sunset Beads crunch like bones Through fingers and knuckles Poor hands pick cheap Quartz In the quarries and cliff-ledge A group of sandalwood trees With clotted blood coloured bark Candle-lit teeth Half-moon smiles in the dark The biker gangs smoking on the edge of the lake The smoke like white horses, a white-eyed mistake There's spirits in the water like photos in a box They're torn by the current and crushed by the rocks You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells |

I was waiting in the back-seat of the car
When I knew I'd given up Down one of the back-streets by the park So sick of the taste of blood I'm gonna write your girl a letter It'll make everything better Screaming down the phone-line to your mum She said, "Honey ain't home right now" I bought a tuxedo and I bought a gun And wore them all around this town Nobody dares to lift a finger They can see my heart is down and injured If I'm guilty of anything It's loving you too much Honey, sometimes, love Means getting a little rough This is not bad love This is not bad love I've been going to church but I don't believe I'll ever be clear this pain Walk like a ghost through the streets Soaked from the pouring rain And I won't ask your god for mercy My spirits are low, my soul is dirty If I'm guilty of anything It's loving you too much Honey, sometimes, love Means getting a little rough This is not bad love This is not bad love If I'm guilty of anything It's loving you too much Honey, sometimes, love Means getting a little rough This is not bad love This is not bad love If I'm guilty of anything It's loving you too much Honey, sometimes, love Means getting a little rough This is not bad love This is not bad love |

Felt love last night for the first time in a long time
Feels like coming home to stay Like falling in the sea when it's too hot in the sun Made things so much worse today I know you said you'll miss me But I know that you won't Cos time is like a wave that washes all the pain away When you come down I know I said I'll see you When it gets to New Year But now that all the rain's stopped falling All I think is getting out of here Felt love last night for the first time in a long time Feels like I never went away Like drifting back to sleep when I'm aching and I'm tired Made me feel so much worse today I know you said you'll miss me But I know that you won't Cos time is like a wave that washes all the pain away When you come down I know I said I'll see you When it gets to New Year But now that all the rain's stopped falling All I think is getting out of here I know I've been welcome but tell me how far Ceremonial notes sound the gaps in my heart beat now Never been good enough for you or for me I've buried my pride, I've buried my key I know I've been welcome but tell me how far Ceremonial notes sound the gaps in my heart beat now Never been good enough for you or for me I've buried my pride, I've buried my key I know you said you'll miss me But I know that you won't Cos time is like a wave that washes all the pain away When you come down I know I said I'll see you When it gets to New Year But now that all the rain's stopped falling All I think is getting out of here |
