Take my hand We're leaving It's easy Understand I need you to see this I've found the answer It's somewhere else Cos I can see the view from here All we've planned is there for us I was gone a long time, frightened Being me gets harder each day And I can see the view from here All we've planned is here now Take my hand We're leaving now Understand I need you to be there I've found the answer I can see the view from here All we've planned is very near I was gone a long time, frightened All we've planned is here now
A man is talking to me We're at my brother's party I know what trust is The key For us But he's a charmer And you are elsewhere I take precautions I've little caution sometimes His eyes are understanding His words are gentle to me He has a girlfriend At home He says It's not my background To be unsound It's wrong to have him In my defense I say this I love the things you show me I love the way you hold me I love the fact that you're not here Tonight I'll take the gamble Because I'm able And no I'm not proud To hope that you won't find out His hands are moving closer My blushing cheeks are over Everyone knows our names In my defense, I'm human In my defense, I'm stupid And if of this I lose you In my defense I love You In my defense I love You
Sunday sunshine I know that sometimes friends can easily lose the way Now in daylight no time for fights We have to live another day You're my best friend My start in Wallsend People round who know the score For all the great things Ive kept a space for all the time I've spent with you So take the bad things out of everything I'll show you the way I'll show you the way I'll show you the way I'll show you the way Both our families They know what I see Know the plans that I believe We'll drink to them For waiting them For all the smiles that time will bring Cos we're the best kind And now I know I'll find the way to stay with you So toast the great days Forget our sad ways Laugh for all the things we do And take the bad things out of everything I'll show you the way... It all depends on if you'll see me It all depends on if you'll speak to me...
The wind's whistling my mind's twisting I was making myself the usual cup of tea when the doorbell strangely rang Because I've been up here for a while I'm starting to feel tha monotony of a tower block I'm not so manic now I can uphold the weight of those neighbours
Say the worst thing first You could swear you wouldn't change But my words had lips that chose to tip the balance just the same I believe that some things can work better in the dark But my one regret's we didn't get a torch before the start
And now we'll never speak again My face says everything And now we'll never speak again My face says everything
Say the worst thing first You said you couldn't, better wait But my words were knives that broke our lives I did it just the same I deceive, I try to be a bigger cheat than you But I know too late it's not so great to hide away the truth
And now we'll never speak again My face says everything One my time for all times I should've shut my mouth and closed my eyes to cross my legs to save these words This face says everything ..
And now we'll never speak again My face says everything And now we'll never speak again My face says everything And now we'll never speak again My face says everything One my time for all times I should've shut my mouth And now we'll never speak again
I'd seen it all that afternoon I'd seen it all, and your brother's too You showed me round your mother's front room And dropped your pants Took off your shoes You can't tell me now that you're laid You can't sell me now that you're paid You can't shelve me now that you're made You can't tell me now that you're laid You have a flair for taking off clothes You left me there and nobody knows how you came round four times that day and had your way, walked away You can't tell me now that you're laid You can't sell me now that you're laid You can't tell me now that you're laid You can't sell me now that you're paid You can't shelve me now that you're made You can't tell me now that I'm laid
Into the coloured field of view my eyes are on the toe line Into another space and now it's clear that I will soon be found And this is the first time that it's made vague sense So into the coloured field of view my eyes are on the go line Into another place and time It's clear that i will soon be fine And maybe somewhere I can see it through So into the coloured field of view my eyes are on the phone line Into another space and now it's clear that I will soon be found This is the first time that it's made vague sense Maybe this time I can see it through So into the coloured field of view My eyes are on the toe line Into another space and now it's clear that I will soon be found it's clear that I will soon be found it's clear that I will soon be found
Walking home from work tonight Your letter warm, I'm holding tight Said you want to see me soon I phoned you late this afternoon The bar we first met seems alive I'll see you there at eight tonight Shouldn't think like this But is there something in us meeting now? All this time, I've waited knowing Though I've changed my heart's still showing I'll wear a new dress, wash my clothes I'll wear the earrings that you chose If the man you've grown to be Is more Morrison than Morrisey I'll tell you straight as we undress That things got better when you left
I haven't sung in years and shown I've meant it they'll play the tune and my gestures are empty but my eyes are open every word is true But then it's a big thing at the chemist together you take my heart and describe it in letters every checkout girl can see us everyone knows our names Take my hand We're leaving now Understand I need you, and I've seen the world's impatient spent so much time deceiving and why? I know the future's waiting spent so much time in hiding Why? No more waiting Let's go
Break your stride when I'm walking Steal your breath when I'm talking Break your stride when I'm walking Steal your breath when I'm talking I have two eyes to see I have two arms that help me feed It doesn't stop me from loathing all I do Cos I'm taking taking taking taking Break your stride when I'm walking Steal your breath when I'm talking Time she told me to try You know I can't live with you inside Haunt each day of my life You know I can't live with you inside And at night I'm just the same Counting stars won't help me coping with my name Cos I'm taking taking taking taking Break your stride when I'm walking Steal your breath when I'm talking Time she told me to try You know I can't live with you inside Haunt each day of my life You know I can't live with you inside I don't laugh at the television even Break your stride when I'm walking Steal your breath when I'm talking Take your thirst when I'm drinking Numb your brain when I'm thinking Time she told me to try You know I can't live with you inside Haunt each day of my life You know I can't live with you inside Haunt each day of my life You know I can't live with you inside
excuse me father, what i'm trying to say, is that i'm scared 'cause all my friends have been laid. it's in their eyes and the things that they do with their hands, fastening trousers, holding their hands tight, showing their mothers, where can i hide. excuse me mother, what i'm trying to say, is that i think that all my friends have been laid. i couldn't hate them but i don't like the way that it feels, moving inside me, women dispise me, children laugh at me, no, don't hate me. don't squish me, help me, don't scratch me. excuse me father, what i'm trying to say, is that i'm scared 'cause all my friends have been laid. it's in their clothes and in the way that they brush their hair, it's walking behind me, holding my glances, mincing their movements, slowing their dances. holding their hands tight, showing their mothers, where can i hide. excuse me mother, what i'm trying to hey brush their hair, it's walking behind me, holding my glances, mincing their movements, slowing their dances

Riverside on Friday night My friends remain They say your name But my guard has gone Put a brave face on And make a smile you could hear But you're not here I'll trace the whole world to find your ghost But wherever I go I'm alone There's no-one else Still living by myself Yes I'm eating well I still cook for two you know And the bathroom's clean Windows let the sun shine in My complexion's clear But you're not here An empty bedroom A silent phone Wherever I go I'm alone Wherever I go I'm alone A stranger's face, a different place I see you everywhere It's funny how time does nothing and doesn't seem to care But.. I'll trace the whole world to find your ghost Who could understand me now you're gone I'll leave the bedroom Unhook the phone But wherever I go I'm alone I'll trace the whole world to find your ghost But wherever I go I'm alone
She's taking up the room in my head like all your rooms hook up with a bed if you're happy with me and believe what I say be strong enough to let her walk away
Do you kiss her lips when you say goodbye
and all of the people you've been with before and the keys on the end of her ring fit your door so I smile and I chat when I see her in town expect me to be her when the lights are turned down
Do you kiss her lips when you say goodbye? Do you miss her hips when you hear me sigh? ..
Are you in her car when I take the bus home? Is she in your arms when I walk alone? Do you miss her hips when you hear me sigh? Do you kiss her lips when you say goodbye?
and after all this I'm expect to like her you lie to my face when you say you don't see her to get my revenge I wanted to spike her and laugh in her face when she's tripping with fear
when you say goodbye when you say goodbye........... (she's tripping with fear)
I haven't sung in years and shown I've meant it they'll play the tune and my gestures are empty but my eyes are open every word is true But then it's a big thing at the chemist together you take my heart and describe it in letters every checkout girl can see us everyone knows our names Take my hand We're leaving now Understand I need you, and I've seen the world's impatient spent so much time deceiving and why?
