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 |

Take this silver lining, keep it in your own sweet head
And shine it when the night is burning red Shine it in the twilight Shine it on the cold, cold ground Shine it till these walls come tumbling down We were born with our eyes wide open So alive with wild hope now Can you tell me why Time after time they drag you down Down in the darkest deep Fools and their madness all around Know that the light don't sleep Step into the silence take it in your own two hands And sprinkle it like diamonds All across these lands Blaze it in the morning wear it like an iron skin Only things worth living for are innocence and magic, amen We were born with our eyes wide open So alive with wild hope now Can you tell me why Time after time they drag you down Down in the darkest deep Fools and their madness all around Know that the light don't sleep Woah, wooah We were born with our eyes wide open So alive with wild hope now Can you tell me why Time after time they drag you down Down in the talk so cheap Fools and their madness all around Know that the light don't sleep Know that the light don't sleep Time after time They drag you down Down in the darkness deep Fools in their madness all around Know that the light don't sleep Know that the light don't sleep |

Three tower blocks glinting in the midday sun
Two ice cubes melting in a glass of white rum Head for the places that I've never gone (I can't get through to myself) (Just can't get through to myself) Eight beggers choking on a slice of red pie Two rivers freezing in a broken goodbye No hesitation, just a kick in the eye (I can't get through to myself) (Just can't get through to myself) And we do alot of learning everyday Or so it seems but the road it keeps turning And i'm right back here again Blue leather jacket and a helium voice (I can't get through to myself) My head is reeling from too much choice (I can't get through to myself) I can't get through to myself Just can't get through to myself... |

For some word to come I asked the moon o'er the clover but the moon she is dumb You've made me a promise At midnight we'd go And that we should be married Sailing westward ho Such words you have spoken You have told me a lie That it could not be broken when you knew it must die There's no light in heaven That my heart can see That my heart be imprisioned While the devil go free Go free Like honey the ocean In the morning breeze Take my tears to the water That the rivers may freeze There's no light in heaven Can shine for me That my heart be imprisioned While the devil go free Go free What folly is beauty What trick of the skin Desire is fancy And ruin it's whim Your child within me And what should I do My blood fill with needles That he look like you There's no light in heaven That my heart can see That my heart be imprisioned While the devil go free My heart imprisioned While the devil go free No light in heaven No light for me |

A gutter full of rain
An empty picture frame A house out at the edges of the city Never noticing the war 'Till it's right there at your door And suddenly your hands are bloody I was seeking to possess Now another girl's caress Is on your flesh The bitterness is tasted There's nobody in your chair No hand to touch my hair The sun even the air seems wasted Let it go now, let it all slip away And we'll start it all over again Me, like a million others before Trying to make sense of the rain Were these twenty years a dream Was it ever as it seemed Get to wonder if it really existed 'Cause the theif who stole my life Has taken, too, my faith I can see now how the world gets twisted Let it go now, let it all slip away And we'll start it all over again Me, like a million others before Trying to make sense of the rain In spite of all the shame Some times I hear your name I think of us when we were younger Then I'm shutting out the noise Ans I'm trying to hear the voice That used to tell me love was stronger Light another cigarette But the one I got's still lit I can't seem to keep my fingers steady Never noticing the war 'Till it's right there at your door Ans suddenly your hands are bloody |

I beg to differ
To break the chain To draw a line right through tomorrow And cancel every claim I've seen reflections beneath my skin And drums beating for battle In the eyes of children And turning it over Right down Where the eye don't see no color Where the war don't make a sound Ice on the shoulder Noel Praise the lord above And sell, sell, sell Oh violent flowers You fill the screen Betray your mother And change your name So tall and fickle And blind as snow Running headfirst for oblivion Cause you've nowhere else to go And turning it over Right down Where the eye don't see no color Where the war don't make a sound Ice on the shoulder Noel Praise the lord above And sell, sell, sell In chill of winter In dead of night Each so familiar with the hunger That they got no appetite They talk of loving I hear her say That as fast as I can give it He's taking it away And turning it over Right down Where the eye don't see no color Where the war don't make a sound Ice on the shoulder Noel Praise the lord above And sell, sell, sell Chorus A weeping willow The desert wind So many learn to swallow So few to understand The deepest longing This cup of faith Where to put them in a world Where no innocence is safe |

All my tears will dry away All my tears will dry away Words don't bother me no more Black money falling to the floor Flags out on the balconies Black money washing to the seas Oh my mind What happened to the time December All my house got blown away All my house got blown away All my house and all my home Walls of glass and walls of stone Got blown away Stations in the neon light Your body strange as dynamite Killers underneath our skins Black mirrors black hyacinths Oh my eyes What happened to the skies December December December |

Smoke curls through my hands
These one night stands Are making me crazy I know Morning I'll go Crowds in the rain all passing by Faith gone from your eyes Each word it flies Taking you further away And come that day There ain't no easy way to cry And as I watch you leave I stand Inside my house of straw And everywhere I go I find Things recollecting to my mind How right it all could be Faith gone from your eyes Each word it flies Straight to the heart and I know Watching you go There ain't no easy way to cry So right now So right now So right now And as I watch you leave I stand Inside my house of straw And everywhere I go I find Things recollecting to my mind How right it all could be Could be So right now So right now So right now So right so right So right |

Take your eyes off me
There's nothing here to see Just trying to keep my head together And as we make our vow Let us remember how There's nothing good that lasts forever *Time out on the running boards We're running Through a world that lost its meaning Trying to find a way to love This running Ain't no kind of freedom Feel the touch of grief You stand in disbelief Can steal the earth from right beneath you And falling in so far They know just where you are Yeah, but there ain't no way to reach you Time out on the running boards We're running Through a world that lost its meaning Trying to find a way to love This running Ain't no kind of freedom Of freedom Yeah, yeah... It's time to clean these boots Fold up these parachutes The word's goodbye, but I can't say it The end is close at hand I think we understand There ain't no use trying to deny it * Repeat (x2) Fasten on my mask I'm bending to the task I know this work is never finished And if I close my eyes I can still see you dancing Laughing loud and undiminished |

Don't pay no mind to it
Oh let it blow Break you up inside If you don't let it go Jeez what are you like honey I don't know Recommended by my bank And everybody in the tank First of all I'd like to thank This might take while honey Hey don't blink Missing by a mile now we're Here on the brink Not a day goes by honey I don't think I could be your volunteer We'll make the whole thing disappear Saddle up we're outta here You could be my olive branch Lift me up above the stench Walk me through the avalanche Honey won't you be my flood Nothing ever comes out good Trouble in the neighbourhood Conversations gone askew And how do you make it feel like new Kookaburra kangaroo Will you won't you be my leach Take it all and when I screech Leave it there just outta reach Take me to that burning bush Give me something that I can't crush Lead me out into the hush So far behind So far behind So far behind So far behind |

Slow voices speaking through a hurricane
Said that I wanted but I lied You're looking good Hey man I can't complain Ghost on the road at night Seen him out walking he's just skin and bones I don't see nothing in her eyes Some call it hell felt like home from home I'm dreaming different skies I don't know where I I don't know what I'm supposed to do now Get it on all night I don't know where I I don't know what I It seems to me boy That you're doing all right I don't know what I I don't know where I Long way to go now Keep it all inside 36 hours but my mind is fresh Live for the moment the I'm gone Suck on the sympathy and feel the rush Go on my blue eyed son I don't know where I I don't know what I'm supposed to do now Get it on all night I don't know where I I don't know what I It seems to me boy That you're doing all right I don't know what I I don't know where I Long way to go now Keep it all inside |

Away I'll float Into the stillness of a pure blue sky There's nothing here to hold me now And I got no more tears to cry Grant me a wish just one more kiss Oh baby kiss me till the daylight's through These days of make believe But there ain't nothing any fool can do Pin another dream on my 'Cos the night is bearing down Baby let's got all the way this time Sing me the truth sweet bird of youth I got some trouble trying to understand Beneath the veils of mystery Are these the movements of an unseen hand Our arms are full of sunken treasure baby Now our heads are full of perfect sound But do we truly see it hey Till we're placing it in the ground Take just what you need from me 'Cos the night is bearing down Baby let't go all the way this time Frost on my windowpane is forming Don't pin that line on me oh no Don't pin that line on me oh no Don't pin that line on me oh no Don't pin that line on me oh no Baby let's go all the way this time Won't you take me all the way this time Baby let's go all the way this time Make me a boat Away I'll float Into the stillness of a pure blue sky |

If I lean my weight on it
If I fix my heart to the line Might find a way from it To some easy time My skin's all while with it I'm up so high when I fall I fall so from it Ain't nowhere at all Early morning sun Shine it and I'm gone To plane out and on the lake Hey hey yeah yeah To glide out on the wing Turn around and sing The fear now taking hold I'll bring you love but it's all been sold My head's all wired with it My tongue gets tied when I speak The space inside roaring When that signal break Early morning sun Shine it and I'm gone To plane out and on the lake Hey hey yeah yeah To glide out on the wing Turn around and sing The fear now taking hold I'll bring you love but it's all been sold |

The dawn in all its majesty
Is stealing me away The dawn in all its honesty Is turning me to clay And through the bears of iron rain Way beyond and back again I hear the voice of Eden cry Lift me up I'm walking on high It's real love Real love This world in all its clarity Is glorious, is fake This world in all its vanity Is more than I can take And down the road the iron wheels Chain my heart to how it feels I hear the voice of Eden cry Lift me up I'm walking on high It's real love Real love Real love Real love And something in the heart of me Is telling me it's time To meet the eye of destiny And leave it all behind And through my bones an iron rage Paints my soul upon the page I hear the voice of Eden cry Lift me up to walk on high Make me wanna lay down and die It's real love Real love Real love Real love The dawn in all its majesty Is stealing me away |

Cast your eyes into the distance
Try to focus on it all Find a spirit of resistance Instead of pride before the fall Forge some opposition From disparate strands It ain't the prettiest position As a century ends Unstable situation Faces made of wax Streams of melting glass Sheets of butchered facts The roar of the machine Hooded hearts and jewelled hands And anger spilling out like gasoline As a century ends Everything I seen, everything that I heard It ain't even the top of the iceberg Fire down memory lane So pass me my rose tinted glasses again Through a fog of contradiction Out to the lake of tears See society admiring it's own reflection Chase a light that shines and disappears Careful what you say, 'cause reality offends Just sit back and let your soul decay As a century ends And it's easy to get weary As you fight to get it done Against a popular theory That it's over before it's even begun Strain the limit of compassion Tend a wound that never mends And honesty still out of fashion As a century ends |

Wishing that something would happen
a change in this place 'cause I'm tearing off the fancy wrapping find an empty package Take for a while your trumpet from your lip loosen your hold, loosen your grip on your old ways that have fallen out of step in a changing time hoist a new flag hoist a new flag Angry sun burn down judging us all guilty of neglect and disrespect and thinking small And death by boredom and death by greed if we can't stop taking more than we need Across the fractured the landscape I see the same things tired ideas birds without wings Birds without wings birds without wings But these are just thoughts on lackluster times and I've no interest in excuses you can find Like you've had a hard day now you're too tired to care now you're too tired to care you've had a hard day Well across the fractured landscape I see the same things tired ideas, broken values many with the notion that to share is to lose a hollow people bound by a lack of imagination and too much looking back without the courage to give a new thing a chance grounded by this ignorance When the cat comes we're just birds without wings Birds without wings birds without wings |

Drunken ferry boat woman
swayin' on your sea if I turn on the gasfire by the rain rattled window won't you sail over to me And the hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you move in the porch with me on an overcast day the pale winter city an afternoon's debauchery Your blouse your skirt I'll undo them so gently with beautiful care I'm a lonely man with five bottles of wine I'd like you to share The hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you move through the doors with me on an overcast day the pale winter city an afternoon's debauchery Orange street light afternoon becomes night you drink your wine from a mug there's cats at the backdoor the snow is two inches you roll down your tights on the rug The hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you lie on the floor with me come closer my love I'm badly in need of an afternoon's debauchery |

I got no reason
but that I must maybe I feel like I've been gathering dust I must leave this harbour for the sea I'm too young to settle down and make a home but I don't know where I'm wanting to be I just know I have to be there alone Stole my time, all my time stole my time, for you Pale winter sun is beating the ground why am I throwing away the best thing that I've found My young heart's in tatters and I'm sure that it will be a long time healing It's so hard to see what I'm doing this for when loneliness is all that I'm feeling Stole my time, all my time spent my time, for you Now the wind it is blowing blowing leaves from the trees I've got no use knowing that with time it will ease I don't know where I'm going hope I get there soon 'Cos my soul is hollow as the sorrowful moon Now the wind it is blowing blowing leaves from the trees I've got no use knowing that with time it will ease I don't know where I'm going hope I get there soon 'Cos my soul is hollow as the sorrowful moon as the sorrowful moon as the sorrowful moon Oh the night is raining on my weary head taking my back See the sun spread wings of gold as the dawn unfurls hear the song that the moon sings to the darkened world Feel the fire lighting in the bitter cold It's the light that shines through the windows of your soul Windows of your soul na na na na Windows of your soul na na na na |

The stars wear sour grins In the vastness of the black sky I'm cradled in your arms Unbridled by alarm 'Cause I know the end is nigh It's all over bar the shoutin' One thing's for sure It's all over now It's all over now Confusion wanders in Strides the evening like a king Chaos and turmoil prevail Bedlam reigns, hope is drowned As, but strangely we settle down Resigned to the sinking ship on which we sail It's all over bar the shoutin' One thing's for sure It's all over now It's all over now Our love's just smithereens Too much beer in my head Another night is getting late And I don't know where to go There's just this long white road And I can't think straight No I can't think straight It's all over bar the shoutin' One thing's for sure It's all over now It's all over now |

The hour is out of joint
Black sun has risen And the river of words Is flowing on through The cages of tradition They're handing out emptiness We'll take it, 'cause it's given Free with this plastic innocence And these standards of living Questions, lighted questions Burnin' holes into my head Hanging like shadows o'er the sun Staring out like the eyes of the dead And sometimes my soul flickers As the wind of change blows cold Over the mire of repetition Down the corridors of rigamarole What I say, what I think What I put down in ink I'm only tryin' to find a way to understand And I mean no harm I'm just searching for calm In the storm of mankind Do you find it there In the sea of faces That drowns you every day Or in the silence and rubble and empty spaces Where children and rottweilers play Is it buried in the praise Given so cheap With a meaningless movement of the jaws In the looking glass That flatters you Or in the rattle of hollow applause Blind circle, moon and sun Body willing, mind undone One pain ending while another begins Lies, ruin, disease Into wounds like these Let the truth sting From the hub to the limit Through the urban hollows Out into the poles of the extreme To echo through the numbness Of these godless minutes In the shadow of delusion's regime But here watching the night As it opens like a flower And the day starts to rust Feeling time pound Like a silent hammer On this empire of dust And I'm thinking 'bout the bullet And the TV screen, the dollar, and the clenched fist And if we're searching for peace How come we still believe In hatred as the catalyst Through the borderline In front and behind Down the road of thorns Between the the barbwire and the soul Bitters and chains Is all that remains Where the wheel has rolled I feel it from the pit of my stomach Into the ditch of my mind Inside the chambers of my heart As I stare half blind At these walls of cardboard At this space that I've rented At your beauty that is crumbling Though you try so hard to prevent it On and on Body willing, mind undone One pain ending while another begins Lies, ruin, disease Into wounds like these Let the truth sting Let the truth sting Let the truth sting |

I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true That our love it has faded Like the summer run through So well walk down the shoreline One last time together Feel the wind blow our wanderin hearts Like a feather But who knows whats waiting In the wings of time Dry your eyes We gotta go where we can shine Dont be hiding in sorrow Or clinging to the past With your beauty so precious And the season so fast No matter how cold the horizon appear Or how far the first night When I held you near You gotta rise from these ashes Like a bird of flame Step out of the shadow Weve gotta go where we can shine For all that we struggle For all we pretend It dont come down to nothing Except love in the end And ours is a road That is strewn with goodbyes But as it unfolds As it all unwinds Remember your soul is the one thing You cant compromise Take my hand Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine (and look, and look) Through the windows of midnight Moonfoam and silver |

Tears falling slow.
From the bridge into the river below. In your eyes I start to see. A starry veil and the oceans of infinity. Moon and stars above me. Mingle with the blood inside my veins. Empty arms that should be Holding me close through nights of winter rain. And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain. It's colder than ever coming down Now I'm drowning in shallows Cause I'm in so deep There's neon melting in the rain I took too much powder to sleep When I hold you naked When I hear your laugh I got a sword to stem the rivers And cut the moon in half. Frozen stars above me Mingle with the blood inside my veins Empty arms that should be Holding you close through nights of winter rain And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain It's colder than ever coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down We danced wild Kicked off our shoes Not a cloud in the the sky to confuse. Now the sky is cold and the sea is white And there's nothing to be done except reflecting the sun And scratching the mountain side Frozen stars above me Mingle with the blood inside my veins Empty arms that should be Holding you close through nights of winter rain And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain It's colder than ever coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down |

As the bell must strike the hour
as the west must stab the sun so our hearts must heed the flow of deeper tides that run far beyond the bare indifference that prosperity esteems where the spirit raves and dances through our very veins At winters edge you found me by the fields of wild gold my hands still filled with ashes from fires long cold you pulled me from the wreckage of bitterness and blame flung open the page and put some flesh on the bones of my dreams On the streets the blossom snowing and the drum is beating slow and I hear you speak so clear well I’m slicing through the fear setting all the beacons blazing, baby oh! it's staring out plainer than ever brighter than all the fools gold that gleams it's simply now or never putting flesh on the bones of my dreams Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams putting flesh on the bones of my dreams And they can plunder the cave of sorrows they can strip the gallery bare try to build a fence around the visions in our heads, choke every spark in a cloak of despair but we got something they can't stifle with their price tags and picture frames got a flower for every rifle putting flesh on the bones of my dreams |

Lightening strikes, silver motorbikes
roaring down the open road, wind on my skin I?m hungry to begin, my cup has overflown so let fall the rain down into these desert veins taking back what they stole these diamonds in the mine can afford to become fine in someone else's pigeon hole So I made up my mind made up my mind gonna move on ahead instead of lagging behind Half past seven way up in the heaven the stars are singing in the sky lying half dressed, your head upon my breast listening to the ocean's lullaby standing where we are, it seems so far from the cold light of day with the faces full of grief, and the grinding up of teeth has been eating my belief away So I made up my mind I made up my mind gonna move on ahead instead of lagging behind instead of lagging now.. Cracks in the veneer and the light so severe shining down the avenue try to join the throng but it's feeling all wrong what are you supposed to do shoulder that despair take a lung of dirty air turn to watch the sun set red and the ruins of a culture of a sky that's filled with vultures circling over your head So I made up my mind I made up my mind gonna move on ahead instead of lagging behind instead of lagging behind I made up my mind.... |

The city gates at twilight
And a red ship sinking Behind winter's grey wall Ice in the wind But a fire in the embers of my heart As darkness falls In a candlelit room Where your eyes are laughing Smoking in the red chair And nothing in the world 'cept the beating of my heart Against the nerves of the air And I know there's a light At the end of the tunnel Cos I taste it on your lips And I feel a weight That can bear me double You lift it with your fingertips So often it happens That words prove useless In the face of how it feels So it is as the mystery of love keeps growing The more my heart reveals Temptations endless whispers Try to keep it in perspective So much to distract Walking on a wire While your juggling desire It's all part of this balancing act And it gets hard to know Just what you believe As the argument rages on But for all of the talk Its only true to say That if you have no hope There is none A tangle of tongues Flesh flowers and thistles of conscience, spittle and skin We can't change the past So we'll raise this cup to our lips And drink it all in And meantime back in civilization The rain is cold as steel But the mystery of love It just keep growing The more my heart reveals As sure as the rose The bright day blooms As surely still it fades And the night kindles stars On empty winds And ghosts along the collonades And slow but sure the sands are falling As the bridge burns beneath the wheel And the mystery of love It just keeps growing The more my heart reveals The more my heart reveals |

weight on my shoulder
but I'm walkin so tall out into the new horizons Wonder in everything no matter how great or small Howlin like the midnight howlin like the midnight sun And this aint no pale reflection this is the real thing New horizon New horizon within And your heart ain't yours to control no matter how tight the reign Love will find it's own direction A time to reap, a time to sow and many a time to cry in vain but now's the time to celebrate the glory of this imperfection Same thing that's scrawled across the stars is written under our skin New horizon, new horizon within If things come to easy, I get suspicious If things come to slow, I get bored If it don't work out, I get superstitious but if it does, then oh my word! So I'm gethering all the remnants of beauty from this wilderness in spin and now I'm gonna light my own flame Cause I'm charged with all the radiance of the gold (?) that's been so long breakin and now there ain't nowhere there ain't nowhere I wouldn't write your name There's a time to search for understanding sometimes you just gotta sing New horizon, new horizon within Baby there's no need to get precious you know that everything must change complacency can be so vicious turn this love into a cage Same thing that's scrawled across the stars is written under our skin New horizon, new horizon within New horizon, new horizon within within, within New horizon, new horizon within rollin, rollin... |

And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire My heart smoulders in the night And these tumbling boulders of desire Come rolling out the shadows in me Rolling out the shadows in me Rolling out the shadows in me You say I thought time was meant to take away the hurting As your lonely siluete closes the curtain Back on the road destination uncertain So lets get in this car and drive And this feeling I feel so strong So powerful it cant be wrong Now the whole frosted night is just a song A song for you A song for you A song for you Now the moon is splashed right over the street Like my tears on your thighs so pale It's just you and me in the sheets And the whole wide world is just a jail When you're away from me You're away from me You're away from me And it's rolling on by Here come the night You turn out the light And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire My heart smoulders in the night And these tumblin boulders of desire And we're rolling And we're rolling Rolling rolling rolling Rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling Ahh rolling Rolling rolling rolling Rolling out the shadows in me You turn out the light |

What are you?
what are you becoming? what have you become? Once you sang your own song now you're dancing to the same drum what have you become? And what is that you're wearing? money's ugly confidence You sacrificed the poem of your imagination for these pounds and pence Me I take the cynic's role throw scorn on your empty mind I've seen this monotonous world make dull what used to shine you lost interest you lost your spine oh that spine fine fine yeah When there' nothing left on this plate you're handed you find yourself running the gauntlet of all of these double standards it's very thin ice over which you're skating and after this black winter the thaw So what are you tell me tell me what are you and what have you become |

Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange For I know not what I do. Feels like lightning running through my veins Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you Help me out here All my words are falling short And there's so much I want to say Want to tell you just how good it feels When you look at me that way When you look at me that way Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow Moving out across the bay Like a stone I fall into your eyes Deep into some mystery Deep into that mystery I got half a mind to scream out loud I got half a mind to die So I won't ever have to lose you girl Won't ever have to say goodbye I won't ever have to lie Won't ever have to say goodbye Yeah na na na na Yeah na na na na Please forgive me If I act alittle strange For I know not what I do It's like my head is filled with lightning girl Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you |

The dawn in all its majesty
Is stealing me away The dawn in all its honesty Is turning me to clay And through the bars of iron rain Way beyond and back again I hear the voice of Eden cry Lift me up I'm walking on high It's real love Real love This world in all its clarity Is glorious, is fake This world in all its vanity Is more than I can take And down the road the iron wheels Chain my heart to how it feels I hear the voice of Eden cry Lift me up I'm walking on high It's real love Real love Real love Real love And something in the heart of me Is telling me it's time To meet the eye of destiny And leave it all behind And through my bones an iron rage paints my soul upon the page I hear the voice of Eden cry Lift me up to walk on high Makes me wanna lay and die It's real love Real love Real love Real love The dawn in all its majesty Is stealing me away |

When your lion got tamed Was up on your stage When your childhood flamed The sorrow and rage But it ain't no game To me now All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London shining now Standing in line With these abstract gifts Counting the time As the dragnet shifts A quarter to nine and the gray cloud lifts Away now All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London falling down Hearing you say With your perspect's tongue Walking the way Where the dreams get flung Was never your thing When it all goes wrong To worry Whoa-oa All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London shining now Interlude Telling a lie Cause the truth just stinks Out in the mud Where the lightning sinks Wishing you could As the strip light blinks Away now Whoa-oa All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London falling down All of London falling down All of London falling down All of London |

AIN'T NO LOVE
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 |

Slowly the truth is loading
I’m weighted down with love Snow lying deep and even Strung out and dreaming of Night falling on the city Quite something to behold Don’t it just look so pretty This disappearing world We’re threading hope like fire Down through the desperate blood Down through the trailing wire Into the leafless wood Night falling on the city Quite something to behold Don’t it just look so pretty This disappearing world This disappearing world I’ll be sticking right there with it I’ll be by your side Sailing like a silver bullet Hit ‘em ‘tween the eyes Through the smoke and rising water Cross the great divide Baby till it all feels right Night falling on the city Sparkling red and gold Don’t it just look so pretty This disappearing world This disappearing world This disappearing world This disappearing world |

Come the weekend
And we’ll long gone baby Just like the old days Letting the world flow through me Just a parasite in a line I'm smoking, killing the time How long’s a piece of twine What use is sympathy From here you can almost see the sea If you would hold still Could make a clean incision Then we could sit back And watch the demolition Little puppy dog in a box Somebody’s picking the locks Must want the darn from the socks Here comes the cavalry From here you can almost see the sea Just another fool in the line I dream of high clouds Flushed with the light of daybreak I'm gonna dive in To water so cold it makes your bones ache Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped All of the rubbish heaped A piece of cardboard taped Up where the bedroom window pane used to be From here you can almost From here you can almost see the sea Just another fool in the line Just another fool in the line I saw a film once Where all the airholes froze up A killer whale swam Under the blue ice Until her heart stopped |

Hospital food getting you down? Honey now I’m not one to complain But this hangin’ around Is wearing me out So patch me up boys take me home Are you not hearing a word I say? She sounds so different on the phone I just sink like a stone Back to the bay Tell me something Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something Tell me something I don’t know Don’t seem to have that much to show For all the hard work, the sweat and toil You say ‘well that’s right’, and you should know You’ve been there before You’ve basked in the glow You’ve stood in the roar You’ve tasted the snow Tell me something Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something Tell me something I don’t already Seeing it all so beautiful The way it oughta be Seeing it all so beautiful And turning away Turning away Turning away Tell me something Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something Tell me something I don’t already know |

One lifetime is long enough
Is long enough to wait The rain like silver in my ears Fat nothing on my plate A bucketful of Babylon A belly full of hate Go to sleep my one true love And may your dreams be sweet Then we’ll be running See its face beneath the glass It murmurs on the breeze Like a long black Cadillac It passes ‘neath the trees What is it you’re waiting for? Sweet love is on its knees Go to sleep my one true love And find your heart’s release Then we’ll be running Afraid of nothing Yeah we’ll be running Silence is golden Here I am I ain’t afraid of nothing Silence is golden Here I am The sun above the cotton grass Is sinking down like lead The seagulls know the truth of it And scream it overhead Hold on to St. Christopher The sky is murderous red Go to sleep my one true love Our glory lies ahead Then we’ll be running Afraid of nothing Then we’ll be running All wired up in a dawning ray All wired up in a dawning ray All wired up in a dawning ray All wired up in a dawning ray |

I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah, but no one just a stranger I did find I never noticed, hadn't seen it as it grew The void between us where the flame turns blueDifferent places, yeah, but they all look the same Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw And blind ambition where the flame turns blueWords dismantled, hey, and all the books unbound Conversations though we utter not a sound I heard a rumour, I don't know if it's true That you'd meet me where the flame turns blueSo I venture underneath the leaden sky See the freight train with it's one fierce eye And then I listen as it tears the night in two With a whistle and the flame turns blueIn the morning I will sing In the morning I will singThrough the lemon trees, the diamonds of light Break in splinters on the pages where I write That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do Burn forever where the flame turns blue That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do Burn forever where the flame turns blueIn the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing |

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 |

Come the weekend
And we’ll long gone baby Just like the old days Letting the world flow through me Just a parasite in a line I'm smoking, killing the time How long’s a piece of twine What use is sympathy From here you can almost see the sea If you would hold still Could make a clean incision Then we could sit back And watch the demolition Little puppy dog in a box Somebody’s picking the locks Must want the darn from the socks Here comes the cavalry From here you can almost see the sea Just another fool in the line I dream of high clouds Flushed with the light of daybreak I'm gonna dive in To water so cold it makes your bones ache Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped All of the rubbish heaped A piece of cardboard taped Up where the bedroom window pane used to be From here you can almost From here you can almost see the sea Just another fool in the line Just another fool in the line I saw a film once Where all the airholes froze up A killer whale swam Under the blue ice Until her heart stopped |

I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true That our love it has faded Like the summer run through So well walk down the shoreline One last time together Feel the wind blow our wanderin hearts Like a feather But who knows whats waiting In the wings of time Dry your eyes We gotta go where we can shine Dont be hiding in sorrow Or clinging to the past With your beauty so precious And the season so fast No matter how cold the horizon appear Or how far the first night When I held you near You gotta rise from these ashes Like a bird of flame Step out of the shadow Weve gotta go where we can shine For all that we struggle For all we pretend It dont come down to nothing Except love in the end And ours is a road That is strewn with goodbyes But as it unfolds As it all unwinds Remember your soul is the one thing You cant compromise Take my hand Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine (and look, and look) Through the windows of midnight Moonfoam and silver |
