I can't begin to tell you how it feels
It's a clear blue sky Out here my heart so full it's fit to burst Just counting the hours Home, such a long way gone How to share a day, here's my only way Send myself to you Wishing you were here I can't begin to tell you where I've been It's a world behind And if we are to find our heaven here We just have to look harder Now I can see you I never could before, now I want nothing more When I close my eyes Wishing you were here Home such a long way gone How to share a day, here's my only way When I close my eyes Wishing you were here I can't begin to tell you how it feels |

I only wait for it to stop And in the room locked up inside me The cutout magazines remind me I sit and wait alone in my room And in my room against the wall There is a picture very small A photograph I took some years ago It shows a picture of the room I know I sit and wait alone in my room *The walls are white and in the night The room is lit by electric light I stand alone and watch the clock I only wait for it to stop The doors are shut and all the windows lock The only sound is from the clock I sit and wait alone in my room *Repeat |

Midnight it's raining outside he must be soaking wet
Everyone is sleeping tight God knows I tried my best Darling you know it looks bad Just lost the best thing that I ever had Still I don't know why I did him wrong It's too late now he's gone to say *Baby oh no, can't leave me now Said think about it please 'Cos I love you and I need you And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong Heartache, heartache yeah When I saw his face I could see how bad I'd let him down Cheating when he was working hard, I just had to mess around I knew from the start he ain't got much money I should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey He's a good strong man and I love him so so how on earth can I let him go *Repeat And now it's midnight it's raining outside And I'm soaking wet, still looking for that man of mine And I ain't found him yet Well all of this rain can wash away my tears But nothing can replace all of those wasted years In all of this I tell you I have learnt Playing with fire gets you burnt And I'm still burning *Repeat You say you'll lose your pride Well don't you know dear, don't you know I'll lose so much more if you go now Oh no... |

Write me a letter a face in the hall
Hiding from someone afraid of the fall And she's waiting for someone to take her back to where she came from And she'll wait alone for hours she won't mind because there's someone In the story she remembers she remembers in the letter And the tears locked up inside her make her heart break open wider Shuts her eyes and takes the picture from the wall |

Woman of thirty seeing the sun
Packed up her suitcase started to run Looking for someone looking for none Pack up and drive away It was her birthday morning Realisation gradually dawning A man in a grey suit whispered 'I'm calling' Pack up and drive away Woman of thirth, husband and kids Chained like a dog she had to rid No point in coping off came the lid Pack up and drive away Three thousand miles of honesty dreaming Perfect imagery is a gleaming No more shattered clouds were deeming Pack up and drive away In her heart it wasn't easy Mumbled words and feeling dizzy Reasons fight against excuses Mothers have their ways and uses Driving slower she was losing Dream was stirring only dozing Eyelids awaken to the daytime Just an illusion broken sunshine Woman of thirty there's no choice I can't help your helpless voice |

You grew sunblind you thought me unkind To remind you how winter kills Lost in daydreams you drove too fast and got nowhere You rode on half fare when you got too scared How winter kills Tear at me searching for weaker seams Pain in your eyes makes me cruel Makes me spiteful tears are delightful welcome your nightfall How winter kills |

Your mother was crying
Your father passed her a handkerchief Their tear-stained faces Looked to mine for a sign of grief A thousand raincoats Always stand around too long But I stayed to talk with you After they had gone. The flowers I brought you Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain Your name on the card had run So I tried in vain to write it again They didn't understand you - No! They didn't even try I'm so glad that you left us now Before you had the chance to die. I sat there for a long time, Expecting to turn and see you there I ran my fingers through the long grass Willing it to turn into your hair - and oh I'm gonna miss you, dear But I don't have to cry I'm so glad that you left us now, Before you had the chance to die And oh, I'm going to miss you dear, But I'm not going to cry I'm so glad that your life stopped now, Before it had the chance to die |

and left too soon. bright on an evening sea, he washed in with the tide deep in each other's dreams where all but dreams had died. wretched in your thoughts gentle hate within the love you bought. words fade like flowers shadowed there beneath your wall wind cries from every angle dead leaves left to wait for fall. and in my darkest hour when i can find no light my goals are out of sight and nothing warms the night. i close my eyes and with such sweet surprise i can be anywhere i can be anyone. and in my darkest hour when i can find no light my goals are out of sight and nothing warms the night. i close my eyes and with such sweet surprise i can be anywhere i can be anything i can be anyone i can be anyone |

my head was so full of things to say, but as i open my lips all my words slip away and anyway, i can't believe you want to turn the page, and move your life onto another stage, you can change the chapter you can change the book, but the story remains the same if you'd take a look. (chorus) for the times we've had i don't want to be - a page in your diary babe, for the good, the bad i don't want to see - a page in your diary babe, for the happy, the sad - i don't want to be another page in your diary. perhaps if i held you i could win again, i could take your hands we'd talk and maybe then - that look in your eyes i always recognise, would tell me everything is gonna be fine, you're gonna be mine for a long time...

he turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
intent and direct when he speaks, i watch his lips and when he drives i love to watch his hand white and smooth almost feminine, almost american, i have to watch him. (chorus) in his face age descends on youth, exaggeration on the truth he caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot and everything he seems to do reflects just another shade of blue i saw him searching into you and ached a while i watch his lips caress the glass, his fingers stroke its stem and pass to lift a cigarette at last, he dries his eyes from a shadow by the stair i watch as he weeps unaware that i'm in awe of his despair, but i am there (chorus repeat |

Silent comes the night time, end another summers day I can just remember, or is this the dream that never goes away. (Chorus) Understand me, I'm calling - Understand me, can you hear me call. Night time, surely it's a lie, No-one ever told me, I just let the chance go by Wishing there was time enough, you tell me there's no time, but I can try. (Chorus repeat) Speak now, without the summer light All the words I should have spoken, when you held me tight Still I'll keep in calling, till the morning ends another lonely night. (Chorus repeat) I'll be waiting for you hoping, that someday you'll hear me calling But there's never any answer, just the echo of the call |

Fill her up now before the table starts turning Souped up, jacked up, cracked up, stacked up Louie's got the gear And Charlie's got his back up And don't it make you feel good? Says she's a dirt box You're like a cannibal Somebody feeds her, sure ain't the State Farm Who buys the tickets and who buys the clothes Puts the liquor in her stomach and the powder up her nose Move. That's right And don't it make you feel good? Don't mind me honey I'm just looking Smelt your chicken And I watched you cooking Souped up, jacked up, cracked up, stacked up You're a bad stain And you need to be cleaned up And don't it make you feel good? And don't it make you feel good? ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By MOYET, ALISON/CLARKE, VINCENT Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC |

Said the father to the son See the world around you boy And learn to use a gun Think you're something special Well, we'll make you just the same There's nothing wrong in dying After all, it's just a game - Just a game. Read the morning paper There's a picture of a cross "We were proud in them days" By the way, I think you lost Trust me when I tell you boy That God is on our side Even Jesus cheers us on Against the other side - Against the other side. He who shouts the loudest Is the one who's in control We who never listen Are the ones who pay the toll Tell us that it's time at last To make a final stand I'm glad 'cos all I wanted Was to kill another man - Just to kill another man |

I've made my mind up not to stay And it don't matter what you do 'Cos me, I've had enough of you. And you can talk about the good times I can just remember bad times.

When the light stole in it found me wide-awake Wasted from the sleepless night I wished to touch your hair Withdraw an empty hand for you're no longer there In between the silence living is an empty space Save the ticking of the clock whose hands are sweeping past its face And I just don't want to be lonely -no no Night and day But as I look around me I just feel that way For you only I turned my hand to something that would clear my head But I could not forget the parting words we shared I opened up my mind to all the pictures I could trace But I could not recall the contours of your face And always slipped away before I had the chance to say If I did something wrong please tell I'd accept the blame I just don't want to be lonely -Night and day But as I look around me I just feel that way For you only For you're no longer there For you're no longer there In between the silence living is an empty space Save the ticking of the clock whose hands are sweeping past its face I just don't want to be lonely -Night and day But as I look around me I just feel that way For you only |

You've got me so confused and there's word I could use
But I'm afraid to say them. I feel I've been had and i'm boiling mad Still I can't live without you. You don't have the time and you won't spend a dime Not even to call me. You don't know I exist and I wouldn't be missed If I had the nerve to quit you. Invisible - I feel like I'm invisible. You treat me like I'm not really there and you don't really care. I know this romance it ain't going nowhere. Invisible just like my love. You treat me like I'm invisible. When you get the need to flirt you do your worst You just don't care how much it hurts. I can never reach you on the phone it rings and rings But I know you're home. It may be naive but I just want to believe I'm the only one. I tell myself lies and give you alibies Knowing your promises you'll never keep like the merry go round I'm going up I'm going down I'm on a dead end street. Invisible just like my love I feel like I'm invisible. You treat me like I'm not really there and you don't really care. I know this romance it ain't going nowhere. Although I know it's not a lot don't want to lose whatever we got. I keep hanging on knowing I can't win 'Cause it's too hard start over again. Invisible - I feellike I'm invisible. . . . Invisible just like my love. |

Pearls of ruby red soaking up your head until you want to push through And then the world turns red And the wine tastes sour Pushing back the hand until the midnight hour Every door is closing behind you There's no one left to come and find you You're soaking wet but the file won't dry you I'd like to help but I cant stand by And watch you twisting the knife They've got you wasting your life Can't stop you twisting the knife Id rather turn out all the lights than see you like this Caress me with your anger Sting me with your kiss You've been pushing too hard I've been trying too long Now I don't believe I have the will to carry on You take it one step forward Then it's two steps back I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped Its other people make you insecure I won't surrender like I did before And watch you twisting the knife They've got you wasting your life Can't stop you twisting the knife Surrender like I did before Twisting the knife Sting me with your kiss You take it one step forward Then it's two steps back I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped Its other people make you insecure I won't surrender like I did before And watch you twisting the knife They've got you wasting your life Can't stop you twisting the knife |

Where hides sleep is she watching me
Don't desert me now Where hides sleep you're tormenting me Don't forsake me now Take hole of my soul and pull me into darkness Cover me over and styfle my anguish Where hides sleep she's avoiding me Don't evade me now Where hides sleep please don't torture me Don't forsake me now I open my lips to your warm ancient potion I would be still and devoid of emotion For I would be slumber that I could be rest Curl in warm embers of such peacefulness Caressed by oblivion and swallowed by dreams I want you to hold me and cover my eyes From the cold distant daylight Holds no surprise |

Don't cry
Please don't cry I will take you somewhere Where they cant hurt you I wont let them hurt you now Let them know that our love knows no shame And we'll do it time and time and time again 'Till everything comes down I'm not afraid I'm not afraid Blow wind blow Blow dust into their eyes and Make them see that they have always been blind Touch me I want to wrap you in my arms and you'll have no reason for crying Blow wind blow Blow wind blow Blow dust into their eyes and help them realise that they have always been blind And I could show you something that you would never believe You could never conceive the joy that I could give you Take me Take me Blow wind blow Blow wind blow Blow wind blow dust into their eyes and let them know that nothing that we do will ever Never be forgotten Blow wind blow Blow Blow Blow wind blow |

Somewhere in the shadows of your eyes
An element that takes me by surprise Something wants to pull me to my feet Willing me to go into retreat But how can I get up and walk away When ninety-nine percent decides to stay And watch the other fade to grey This glorious love will tear us down When nothing is left to turn around And giving it all is not enough For this glorious love This pleasure never ought to be denied For this is joy personified You can talk to me of give and take When I could take of you for takings sake But how can I deny what's on my mind Knowing it to be of my design Relegated - I resign This glorious love will tear us down When nothing is left to turn around And giving it all is not enough For this glorious love |

In a fleeting moment of a restless day
Driven to distraction I was captured by the game I have often wondered why I ever wanted to Leave these scattered hours behind me and speed myself to you I choose never to forget I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds Is this love? (4x) Set to work idle hands Shake these thoughts Had I planned them they never would be teasing me as viciously as these I would not have believed you Had I never seen Now you and I are intimately pictured In my dreams I could not forsake you or fall tumbling away And if I live in wonderland I'm better off this way I choose never to forget I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds Is this love? (4x) Set to work idle hands Shake these thoughts Had I planned them they never would be teasing me As viciously as these Is this love? |

She left on Sunday afternoon,
"It is the only way for everyone concerned" she said And I could only ask her why, But she just smiled and told me, one day I would learn "Don't you worry, this will all make sense tomorrow, Don't be sorry, that everything we shared will fade away There's so much to see in each new day, They'd never understand, I'm not an ordinary girl" She took nothing but her clothes Taking more would just remind her of her past, she said I thought I'd never laugh again On the day I said goodbye to my best friend And now I understand, she's just an ordinary girl |

Every words so…
Every word's so fragile Inside passion that feels like chasing rain When the slowness of the day has gone Leaving shadowlike feelings to depend upon Every words so… Every word's so fragile Inside passion that feels like chasing rain You sleep like breathing You sleep like breath… gently And the tease cries Weeping listless laughter Always thirsty like an attractive flower When the danger in the touch is gone Changing delicate evenings to reflective ones And the tease cries Weeping listless laughter Always thirsty like an attractive flower You sleep like breathing You sleep like breath… gently |

A wait in hope of every day
That changes come as changes may With every fear that I allay. I have a horror of this place Yet I'm accustomed to its face And I am safe within its maze But you leave me nothing in my home town And now you want to pull us down, But I can hope, and I can pray, and I will stay I traced my way from bluebell hill To the park, and further still, Onto the rise beyond the mounds. And from this point I can see My life in its entirety Mapped before me on the ground Let the cold air bite my face For I am angry at this place Wherein nothing stays the same. It breaks by heart to let you go When deep inside us we both know That you will not be back again. |

Oh, its a long time since I saw you
Well you know how time can fly It seems like yesterday we were lovers Now we pass each other by But if we're left alone tonight, don't ask me to hold you tight I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty All my friends, keep asking why I'm quiet while you're around? They dont know I think I'm so lucky to stop myself from falling down So later if you're on your own Don't ask me to take you home I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty Cause if were left alone tonight I'll have no choice but to hold you tight I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty I go weak, darling, I love you I go weak, theres no doubt about it I go weak, I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty I go weak, youre my world I go weak, I used to be your girl I go weak I go weak weak in the presence of beauty... |

Should I be seen with you one more time?
My life is really on the line. His sister said she caught me out. If this gets back, I'm dead without a doubt. Try to ignore me each time we meet. Don't ever stop me in the street. He thinks I'm at the laundry mat. I can't stay here; he wants his washing back. So when I say that I don't know your face Don't feign surprise; don't betray me with your eyes. When I say that you are out of place, Don't let them see what you really are to me. Before this trouble blows sky-high, I have to find myself an alibi. Why do you have to get so uptight? There's no need to be so impolite. Just give me back my negatives, And I wont tell your wife about last night. So when I say that I don't know your face Don't feign surprise; don't betray me with your eyes. When I say that you are out of place, Don't let them see what you really are to me. |

It would help if you'd explain what's going on Could you help me understand? Just what it is that you accuse me of Cos from the moment that I wake up You're watching every move I make You got me wrong this time You got me wrong Has this foolishness a name [who?] Do I have to guess until I get it right And can anybody play Is there a limit on the floor tonight Because if you have no objections I'll get someone to take my place You got me wrong this time You got me wrong …And you will never know for sure Who I had stashed behind the bathroom door I know it's hard to be right But you'll never be wrong anymore Has this foolishness a name - keep it to yourself No hear no see no speak And nothings all you need to know You got me wrong this time You got me wrong |

You know Oh now I'm so intrigued Your life's such a read It must be torture for you Unlike one such as me You know all that I need is to pick up after you You don't understand at all You move amongst us like some alien higher being Skimming no plane but yours So go away Make it easy on yourself Tell them I'm off my head I keep you from yourself And I can't help but smile a little Remembering all you choose to forget And I know You know that I still feel the world revolving miles beneath my feet You and I were hapless space cadets Mirrored when we meet When I was coming down you let me fall alone Now I think that you've been up too long You've learnt nothing much at all You move amongst us like some alien higher being Seeing no pain but yours Oh go away Make it easy on yourself Tell them I let you down I'm not the girl you met oh no And if I smile just a little Forgive me but I've read that book as well And I know.

Ours was the best September
Of blue and gold it was Of aching nights And sleep-all days I made my way to meet you By then the air had changed And you had seen me everywhere and they sparkled And shined like new Like you said I used to Another magic day is lost on you And all the love falls through your fingers Another living day is lost and gone on you One night you took me driving You coloured everyone in shades that I'd never seen You said someone had left you You'd tried your very best (What silver clouded eyes see) Saying stay when leaving me When I'm all that you need Another magic day is lost on you And all the love falls through your fingers Another living day is lost and gone on you If you could feel it now Warmer than magenta skies My spirits burning just like the blazing cheeks on the face Of a young child And it's wild Another magic day is lost on you [What a day another living day] |

I can hardly breath again Into your arms and a perfect day From the garden where we lay With the roses all aflame You called my name and I meant to say It's been too long, so long I looked for your face watching down from the window Wave me till I'm gone I remember the dress you wore And you're still here with me, but maybe Dorothy it's been too long, so long Now I'm waiting in the dark In the strangeness of your bed To hide my face where you lay your head As I listen to the room And it speaks about a distance never met You were there and yet Dorothy it's been too long, so long You left without saying goodbye And I was so impatient then Always one to cynical to pray But I talked to you today D'you hear me?

When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes Intent and direct when he speaks I watch his lips When he drives I love to watch his hands White and smooth almost feminine Almost American I have to watch him In his face age descends on youth Exaggeration on the truth He caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot And everything he seems to do Reflects just another shade of blue I saw her searching into you and ached a while I watch his lips caress the glass His fingers stroke its stem and pass To lift a cigarette at last He dries his eyes From the shadows by the stair I watch as he weeps unaware That I'm in awe of his despair |

You said I was sky and caught me anyway How could I ever know you burn all that you hold Now sing to the walls I've cared more I want to go, I want to stay, I want your name And I want nothing that you are Not even when you're moving me (And you're moving me) I want to talk, I want to sleep Want to get up and wash the rest of you away You never had me Satellite Maybe today I'll not wear you anymore I'll fold you away, lay you down where you belong Maybe you'll wake in time to break open a smile Wide and wild as the Humber Satellite Are you dancing tonight Are you burning as bright As the she-boy outside The firefly |

You've got me so confused and there's word I could use
But I'm afraid to say them. I feel I've been had and i'm boiling mad Still I can't live without you. You don't have the time and you won't spend a dime Not even to call me. You don't know I exist and I wouldn't be missed If I had the nerve to quit you. Invisible - I feel like I'm invisible. You treat me like I'm not really there and you don't really care. I know this romance it ain't going nowhere. Invisible just like my love. You treat me like I'm invisible. When you get the need to flirt you do your worst You just don't care how much it hurts. I can never reach you on the phone it rings and rings But I know you're home. It may be naive but I just want to believe I'm the only one. I tell myself lies and give you alibies Knowing your promises you'll never keep like the merry go round I'm going up I'm going down I'm on a dead end street. Invisible just like my love I feel like I'm invisible. You treat me like I'm not really there and you don't really care. I know this romance it ain't going nowhere. Although I know it's not a lot don't want to lose whatever we got. I keep hanging on knowing I can't win 'Cause it's too hard start over again. Invisible - I feellike I'm invisible. . . . Invisible just like my love. |

In a fleeting moment of a restless day
Driven to distraction I was captured by the game I have often wondered why I ever wanted to Leave these scattered hours behind me and speed myself to you I choose never to forget I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds Is this love? (4x) Set to work idle hands Shake these thoughts Had I planned them they never would be teasing me as viciously as these I would not have believed you Had I never seen Now you and I are intimately pictured In my dreams I could not forsake you or fall tumbling away And if I live in wonderland I'm better off this way I choose never to forget I want our lips to kiss and our limbs to entwine Let our bodies be twisted but never our minds Is this love? (4x) Set to work idle hands Shake these thoughts Had I planned them they never would be teasing me As viciously as these Is this love? |

One of these days
I'm waiting on a day When nobody comes to trample my meadow Biding my time There's gonna be a time Might take a while But changes are coming And it wont be long When everything you said Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head And when I wake up I wont see you on the bathroom floor In the tangle of clothes we left lying there It wont be long One of these nights With company I find I wont be inclined to leave before sunrise When my eyes, my mouth, my hands, my head Don't tell me that nobody else will do And it wont be long When everything you said Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head And when I wake up I wont see you on the bedroom floor In the tangle of rope we left lying there It wont be long It wont be long 'Till it's all gone And it wont be long When everything you said Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head And when I wake up I wont see you by the bedroom door In the wallpaper stained by the cup that I threw at your head It wont be long |

What switch can I pull to illuminate the way Show me one direction I will not question again For a warm injection Is all I need to calm the pain We all need a love resurrection (just a little divine intervention) We all need a love resurrection (just a little divine intervention) What seed must I sow to replenish this barren land Teach me to harvest, I want you to grow in my hand Let's be optimistic, let's say that we won't toil in vain If we pull together we'll never fall apart again We all need a love resurrection (just a little divine intervention) We all need a love resurrection (just a little divine intervention) Show me one direction I will not question again For a warm injection Is all I need to calm the pain |

If I wait for just a second more
I know I'll forget what I came here for My head was so full of things to say But as I open my lips all my words slip away And anyway I can't believe you want to turn the page And move your life onto another stage You can change the chapter you can change the book But the story remains the same if you'd take a look For the times we've had I don't want to be A page in your diary babe For the good, the bad I don't want to see A page in your diary babe For the happy, the sad I don't want to be Another page in your diary Perhaps if I held you I could win again I could take your hands we'd talk and maybe then That look in your eyes I always recognise Would tell me everything is gonna be fine You're gonna be mine for a long time... For the times we've had I don't want to be A page in your diary babe For the good, the bad I don't want to see A page in your diary babe For the happy, the sad I don't want to be Another page in your diary |

When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes Intent and direct when he speaks I watch his lips When he drives I love to watch his hands White and smooth almost feminine Almost American I have to watch him In his face age descends on youth Exaggeration on the truth He caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot And everything he seems to do Reflects just another shade of blue I saw her searching into you and ached a while I watch his lips caress the glass His fingers stroke its stem and pass To lift a cigarette at last He dries his eyes From the shadows by the stair I watch as he weeps unaware That I'm in awe of his despair |

Looking from the window above
Its like a story of love. Can you hear me? Came back only yesterday, Moving farther away. Want you near me. All I needed was the love you gave. All I needed for another day And all I ever knew; Only you. Sometimes when I think of her name When it's only a game And I need you. Listen to the words that you say, It's getting harder to stay When I see you. All I needed was the love you gave. All I needed for another day And all I ever knew; Only you. All I needed was the love you gave. All I needed for another day And all I ever knew; Only you. This is gonna take a long time And I wonder what's mine. Can't take no more. (Can't take no more) Wonder if you'll understand It's just the touch of your hand, Behind closed doors. All I needed was the love you gave. All I needed for another day And all I ever knew; (All I ever knew) Only you. |

She left on Sunday afternoon,
"It is the only way for everyone concerned" she said And I could only ask her why, But she just smiled and told me, one day I would learn "Don't you worry, this will all make sense tomorrow, Don't be sorry, that everything we shared will fade away There's so much to see in each new day, They'd never understand, I'm not an ordinary girl" She took nothing but her clothes Taking more would just remind her of her past, she said I thought I'd never laugh again On the day I said goodbye to my best friend And now I understand, she's just an ordinary girl |

Some days every word gets in our way
You don't make sense of what I say And every answer begs another question why I didn't want to Maybe I could have changed the way it was I could have made much more of us And if I failed perhaps it wasn't just because I didn't want to Don't take it as a sign The stars were out of line But heaven knows Whoever I was then She won't be back again so let her go But you I wouldn't change I wouldn't change I wouldn't change you if I could It's understood They got hardboard I got solid wood Somehow if I am wont to take my time If I dig in where I should mine It doesn't build a case for your friends to decide I didn't want you Don't take it on yourself |

It's that ole devil called love again,
Gets behind me and keeps giving me the shove again, Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams, And rocks in my heart. It's that sly ole son of a gun again, He keeps telling me, I'm the lucky one again. But I still have that rain, still have those tears, And those rocks in my heart. S'pose I didnt stay - ran away - didn't play, The devil what a potion, he would brew. He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down, Till I'll be so bewildered, I wont know what to do. Might as well, give up the fight again. I know darn well, he'll convince me, that he's right again. When he sings that sorry song, I'm just gonna tag along, With that ole devil called love. He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down, Till I'll be so bewildered, I wont know what to do. Might as well, give up the fight again. I know darn well, he'll convince me that he's right again. When he sings that sorry song, I'm just gonna tag along, With that ole devil called love. by Alison moyet |

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gift you gave To the dark and empty skies (my love) The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command (My love... That was there at my command) The first time ever I lay with you And felt your heart beat over mine And I thought our joy would fill the earth And last till the end of time my love And last to the end of time |

Oh, its a long time since I saw you
Well you know how time can fly It seems like yesterday we were lovers Now we pass each other by But if we're left alone tonight, don't ask me to hold you tight I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty All my friends, keep asking why I'm quiet while you're around? They dont know I think I'm so lucky to stop myself from falling down So later if you're on your own Don't ask me to take you home I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty Cause if were left alone tonight I'll have no choice but to hold you tight I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty I go weak, darling, I love you I go weak, theres no doubt about it I go weak, I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty I go weak, youre my world I go weak, I used to be your girl I go weak I go weak weak in the presence of beauty... |

When she said that you were through
I thought that there was nothing that I could d Just because she ran right here Doesn't mean I interfered Now I'm wondering of we can feel the same Cause she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting She once told me how she felt Didn't just want me to hear it from someone else There were unknowns she couldn't know But she hoped you two would grow And when you didn't she was brought to me in pain And she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting If it's just a little fling a simple thing I'll try not to pretend If it's just for jealousy she's using me That might be hard to mend Oh what else can I do But try to give her more than she got from you And when she wakes up suddenly and she says you name to me I'll just hope its force of habit and not need Cause she keeps whispering your name She keeps on whispering your name Like she's just waiting Oh tell me what is fair When nothing's wrong And she just stares Like she's just waiting |

Ready to embrace the day as we both break
When the light stole in it found me wide-awake Wasted from the sleepless night I wished to touch your hair Withdraw an empty hand for you're no longer there In between the silence living is an empty space Save the ticking of the clock whose hands are sweeping past its face And I just don't want to be lonely -no no Night and day But as I look around me I just feel that way For you only I turned my hand to something that would clear my head But I could not forget the parting words we shared I opened up my mind to all the pictures I could trace But I could not recall the contours of your face And always slipped away before I had the chance to say If I did something wrong please tell I'd accept the blame I just don't want to be lonely -Night and day But as I look around me I just feel that way For you only For you're no longer there For you're no longer there In between the silence living is an empty space Save the ticking of the clock whose hands are sweeping past its face I just don't want to be lonely -Night and day But as I look around me I just feel that way For you only |

Somewhere in the shadows of your eyes
An element that takes me by surprise Something wants to pull me to my feet Willing me to go into retreat But how can I get up and walk away When ninety-nine percent decides to stay And watch the other fade to grey This glorious love will tear us down When nothing is left to turn around And giving it all is not enough For this glorious love This pleasure never ought to be denied For this is joy personified You can talk to me of give and take When I could take of you for takings sake But how can I deny what's on my mind Knowing it to be of my design Relegated - I resign This glorious love will tear us down When nothing is left to turn around And giving it all is not enough For this glorious love |

"It is the only way for everyone concerned" she said And I could only ask her why, But she just smiled and told me, one day I would learn "Don't you worry, this will all make sense tomorrow, Don't be sorry, that everything we shared will fade away There's so much to see in each new day, They'd never understand, I'm not an ordinary girl" She took nothing but her clothes Taking more would just remind her of her past, she said I thought I'd never laugh again On the day I said goodbye to my best friend And now I understand, she's just an ordinary girl |

Every words so…
Every word's so fragile Inside passion that feels like chasing rain When the slowness of the day has gone Leaving shadowlike feelings to depend upon Every words so… Every word's so fragile Inside passion that feels like chasing rain You sleep like breathing You sleep like breath… gently And the tease cries Weeping listless laughter Always thirsty like an attractive flower When the danger in the touch is gone Changing delicate evenings to reflective ones And the tease cries Weeping listless laughter Always thirsty like an attractive flower You sleep like breathing You sleep like breath… gently |

A wait in hope of every day
That changes come as changes may With every fear that I allay. I have a horror of this place Yet I'm accustomed to its face And I am safe within its maze But you leave me nothing in my home town And now you want to pull us down, But I can hope, and I can pray, and I will stay I traced my way from bluebell hill To the park, and further still, Onto the rise beyond the mounds. And from this point I can see My life in its entirety Mapped before me on the ground Let the cold air bite my face For I am angry at this place Wherein nothing stays the same. It breaks by heart to let you go When deep inside us we both know That you will not be back again. |

Well my friends I feel it's time
To reassess the situation and decide what's mine Every time you steal me blind With no consideration for the way I feel inside And you just look at me like you don't understand How could we, how could we let it get so out of hand Don't steal me blind You my friends would bleed me dry And with no hesitation you would pass me by And you keep telling me that you don't understand What's the use there's no point in building on sand Don't steal me blind Well my friends I feel it's time There's a fortune in friendship |

I watch it trickle from your lips
Pearls of ruby red soaking up your head until you want to push through And then the world turns red And the wine tastes sour Pushing back the hand until the midnight hour Every door is closing behind you There's no one left to come and find you You're soaking wet but the file won't dry you I'd like to help but I cant stand by And watch you twisting the knife They've got you wasting your life Can't stop you twisting the knife Id rather turn out all the lights than see you like this Caress me with your anger Sting me with your kiss You've been pushing too hard I've been trying too long Now I don't believe I have the will to carry on You take it one step forward Then it's two steps back I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped Its other people make you insecure I won't surrender like I did before And watch you twisting the knife They've got you wasting your life Can't stop you twisting the knife Surrender like I did before Twisting the knife Sting me with your kiss You take it one step forward Then it's two steps back I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped Its other people make you insecure I won't surrender like I did before And watch you twisting the knife They've got you wasting your life Can't stop you twisting the knife |

Oh, its a long time since I saw you
Well you know how time can fly It seems like yesterday we were lovers Now we pass each other by But if we're left alone tonight, don't ask me to hold you tight I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty All my friends, keep asking why I'm quiet while you're around? They dont know I think I'm so lucky to stop myself from falling down So later if you're on your own Don't ask me to take you home I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty Cause if were left alone tonight I'll have no choice but to hold you tight I go weak I go weak I go weak I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty I go weak, darling, I love you I go weak, theres no doubt about it I go weak, I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty I go weak, youre my world I go weak, I used to be your girl I go weak I go weak weak in the presence of beauty... |

Should I be seen with you one more time?
My life is really on the line. His sister said she caught me out. If this gets back, I'm dead without a doubt. Try to ignore me each time we meet. Don't ever stop me in the street. He thinks I'm at the laundry mat. I can't stay here; he wants his washing back. So when I say that I don't know your face Don't feign surprise; don't betray me with your eyes. When I say that you are out of place, Don't let them see what you really are to me. Before this trouble blows sky-high, I have to find myself an alibi. Why do you have to get so uptight? There's no need to be so impolite. Just give me back my negatives, And I wont tell your wife about last night. So when I say that I don't know your face Don't feign surprise; don't betray me with your eyes. When I say that you are out of place, Don't let them see what you really are to me. |

Where hides sleep is she watching me
Don't desert me now Where hides sleep you're tormenting me Don't forsake me now Take hole of my soul and pull me into darkness Cover me over and styfle my anguish Where hides sleep she's avoiding me Don't evade me now Where hides sleep please don't torture me Don't forsake me now I open my lips to your warm ancient potion I would be still and devoid of emotion For I would be slumber that I could be rest Curl in warm embers of such peacefulness Caressed by oblivion and swallowed by dreams I want you to hold me and cover my eyes From the cold distant daylight Holds no surprise |

I never meant to got his far
I take back every word I said Blame it on the weather Tell me that I'm soft in the head I never think before I speak C'mon let's start this day anew I never meant to do this I never meant to hurt you - You and I should not be fighting Life's too short for citing misdemeanors Couldn't we just laugh about it Do we have to let it come between us I never meant to got this far I don't believe what I just said I had one drink to many I think it's time I went to bed Tell me that we are on TV Tell me that none of this is true Why have you packed my cases Who said that I was leaving - You and I should not be fighting Life's too short for citing misdemeanors Couldn't we just laugh about it Do we have to let it come between us It's time that we both faced the fact I'm not begging to come back I don't believe you'd want me to I know that I'm not good enough I never will deserve your love But you haven't hear me through I can't do… without you |

Is there something I should know?
It would help if you'd explain what's going on Could you help me understand? Just what it is that you accuse me of Cos from the moment that I wake up You're watching every move I make You got me wrong this time You got me wrong Has this foolishness a name [who?] Do I have to guess until I get it right And can anybody play Is there a limit on the floor tonight Because if you have no objections I'll get someone to take my place You got me wrong this time You got me wrong …And you will never know for sure Who I had stashed behind the bathroom door I know it's hard to be right But you'll never be wrong anymore Has this foolishness a name - keep it to yourself No hear no see no speak And nothings all you need to know You got me wrong this time You got me wrong |
