Day to day
Your eyes are cold
Living turned to rot
Make your way through everything
With never time to stop

And with the way
You're looking everyday
You know that
Things are gonna get worse
And the thoughts
That lead to everything
Are the only way you know to cope

But, but
You've got to rise
Got to rise
To the top
To the top
You've got to rise
Got to rise
To the top
To the top
You've got to rise
You've got to rise
To the top
To the top

And tonight
Your talk is high
Dreams are turned to life
Drink your way through everyone
With never time to fly

But with the way
You're looking everyday
You know that
Things are gonna get worse
And the thoughts
That lead to everything
Are the only way you know to cope

But, but
You've got to rise
Got to rise
To the top
To the top
You've got to rise
Got to rise
To the top
To the top
You've got to rise
You've got to rise
To the top
To the
To the top

You've got to rise
Got to rise
To the top
To the top
You've got to rise
Got to rise
To the top
To the top
You've got to rise
You've got to rise
To the top

I know why you came
this time that we've borrowed
imagine us now talking tomorrow
We're not very big
but we're certainly clever
to go on together
well... what makes sense now?
disgraceful... will we ever say no?
It's wine that we feel
that drives us together
this hormonal vision
that won't last forever
We're old enough now
& we should know better
to go on together
well... what makes sense now
disgraceful... will we ever say no?
This match that I'm burning
two people still looking for something else

no matter how hard I try
to squeeze my eyes shut
so i can't see the pain
in you this pain in me - in me

But everything that I can say to you
Won't help you - everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it

I know that I am really not here
to represent what I am not clear
About in my head sometimes
I feel fucked up just like you do - like you do

But everything that I can say to you
Won't help you - everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it

Try to make it through the daily pain
That you feel - maybe tomorrow won't be so bad.
It know it
'cause I once felt that way
Nothing I could say
Made it go away
I lived through this
I still feel this
I just live for my tomorrow

Make it go away
Just make it go away
She'll make it go away

If you tell me what you′re thinking
You see differences between us
It′s the self same thing
There′s a pain that you′ve been feeling
And you think that i′m ignoring
You′re wrong
It′s the same thing between us
[Chorus]
(Ba ba da ba)
We are the same
(Ba ba da)
It′s the self same thing
(Ba-ba ba da ba)
We are the same
(Ba da ba)
It′s the self same thing
I′m moody in the morning
And my friends are very boring, what a shame
It′s the self same thing
Your conversations tired
And i know that you′ve been fired
What a shame
It′s the same thing between
[Chorus]
(Ba ba da ba)
We are the same
(Ba ba da)
It′s the self same thing
(Ba-ba ba da ba)
We are the same
(Ba da ba)
It′s the self same thing
I hope one day, you′ll understand
We′ve an equal stake in all we′ve planned
So put aside the divide you′ve seen
I′m a girl, you′re a boy
It′s so simple to see so
[Chorus x 3]
(Ba ba da ba)
We are the same
(Ba ba da)
It′s the self same thing
(Ba-ba ba da ba)
We are the same
(Ba da ba)
It′s the self same thing

Do I fail you
Do you scare yourself
I know you're not a saint yet
Neither am I
I guess that time put out the flame
Now I don't ever know
The meaning of my name
How can it be over
When it hadn't begun
How can it be over
It hasn't begun
You're free to come now
Be alone in the flesh
And I won't think of you
I'll try to see myself
Should I step into the lake
Free like mercury
The past we must forsake
How can it be over
When it hadn't begun
How can it be over
It hasn't begun
I write this song for you
As a contract for the love
And what was true or not
Won't compare to the above
I'll try and hold my head
Should I fall into the sea
Free like mercury
If only I could be
Over what hadn't begun
How can it be over
It hasn't even begun

I've got you
And I'm willing to prove
If you want it right now
I'll be ready to go
'Cause I'm no one
And I've nothing to move
I'll just let you right in and pay my world when you lose

Lay here in the sun
Let Sarah make it better
Your life has just begun
And Sarah makes it better

Stay
I'll make you better
Stay
I'll see you right
Stay
I'll be your father
Stay
I'll take it tight

I've got you
And I'm willing to prove
If you need me right now
I'm the one that you knew
'Cause I'm no one
With a great set of moves
I can move it with you and fill your world like you knew

So lay here in the sun
And let Daddy make it better
Your life has just begun
And Sarah makes it better

Stay
I'll make you better
Stay
I'll see you right
Stay
I'll be your father
Stay
I'll take it tight

So lay here in the sun
And let Daddy make it better
Your life has just begun
And Sarah makes it better

Stay
I'll make you better
Stay
I'll see you right
Stay
I'll be your father
Stay
I'll take it tight

Stay
I'll make you better
Stay
I'll see you right
Stay
I'll be your father
Stay
I'll take it tight

So lay here in the sun
Lay here in the sun
So lay here in the sun
Sarah makes it better

Stay
I'll make you better
Stay
I'll see you right
Stay
I'll make you better
Stay
I'll see you right

I want to get from this modest thing
And I expect some persuading
Then I might lose everything
Maybe my mind

And I'm coy and embarrassed too
And ashamed I'm in love with you
And for all I've done to you trying again

My bouncing head it shakes
And my feelings are reeling
That's when my heart
It breaks like your car

Before my sense hits the floor again
Better lock up my door again
As the hope drowning medicine flows in your arms
From the look that you gave to me
I could tell there was empathy
As my self-spurning chemistry
Tries once again

I never said a word
About your flirting
Your smirking
I know this thinking has pulled me apart

Behind the windows of my mind
Lurks a fear of womenkind
'Cause I never got valentines
Just like all the rest

Just one more reminder
Of the liar
I admire
This kind of blindness
Makes sense

But you've scared me with your friends
And your fears
And tears
I'm asking you to lend me your hands

Down the road
At the bar we sit
We're a friendship
My longing must resist

But up the stairs
Up into my heart
We're the lovers
Who never have the chance

And I say, what's needed
Are some memories
Without pain
It's hard when the world
Knows your name

Was it just last week?
He was your only flame
And the wind
On our street calls his name

But you could try me
There's so much more to say
And our neighbors
Let them whisper
All day

The jukebox says
Our moment has arrived
Leave out all the history
For tonight

Let's make the memories
The dreamers' only claim
But it's hard
When the world
Knows your name

The jukebox says
Our moment has arrived
Leave out all the history
For tonight

Let's make the memories
The dreamers' only claim
But it's hard
When the world
Knows your name

We are the crime of ages
We are the dying babies
Sounding wars
The land is dead
The pact is over

Take your fathers to the ocean
Join our arc of fire
Leave your homes
Join our arc of fire

We've seen too many changes
We've seen your silent faces
Life is dead
Know our truth
The peace is ended

Take your fathers to the ocean
Join our arc of fire
Leave your homes
Join our arc of fire

Take your mothers to the ocean
Join our arc of fire
Burn your lives
Join our arc of fire

We are strong
The world is ours
Your lives are taken

Take your fathers to the ocean
Join our arc of fire
Leave your homes
Join our arc of fire

Take your fathers to the ocean
Join our arc of fire
Burn your lives
Join our arc of fire

Burn your
Burn your
Burn your
Burn your
Burn your
Burn your
Burn your
Burn your
Burn your
Burn your
Burn your
Fire

Because I'm dumb I send this message to you
It's been so long now
Because I'm wrong I sing this message for you
For you to know
That the plans for the man on the back of your hands
Are over, they're over now
The plan that we planned with the love of our land
Is over, there's only guilt

Believe in me
Release
Believe in me
Escape with me

Believe, indeed, because I wanted you
Believe the truth
And every word that I said you knew
I spoke for you
That the plans for the man on the back of your hands
Are over, they're over now
The plan that we planned with the love of our land
Is over, there's only me

Believe in me
Release
Believe in me
Escape from me

Because guilt is the loneliest feeling
The plan that we planned with the love of our land
Is over, there's only me

Believe in me
Release, me
Believe in me
Escape, with me

Believe in me
Release, me
Believe in me
Escape from me

Because guilt is the loneliest feeling

I'm conscious of myself
Of my health
When I'm visiting friends
I'm conscious of myself
Of my wealth
When I've nothing to spend
I'm conscious of myself
When I'm sad
And I've nothing to say
I'm conscious of myself
Being bad
In a juvenile way
I'm conscious of myself
Gaining weight
Eating food that I like
I'm conscious of myself
Feeling hate
For the models I like
I'm conscious of myself
Growing old
Growing baggage to move
I'm conscious of myself
Getting cold
Lost the love I could prove

So I take Vic pills
Contraception, gin calls
Visits to health clubs
No more nights in boy's books
Counseling
Cooking
Dinner party booking
Don't you just love my ass?

I'm conscious of myself
On the shelf
Got no man in my life
I'm conscious of myself
Check yourself
I'm your fantasy wife
I'm conscious of myself
Bad breath
It's garlic today
I'm conscious of myself
Nearer death
With the passing of the days
I'm conscious of myself
Near you
Your confidence is strong
I'm conscious of myself
Me too
But I get it all wrong
I'm conscious of myself
In bed
Do you like it this way?
I'm conscious of myself
Dead head
Knowing what you won't say

So I take Vic pills
Contraception, gin calls
Visits to health clubs
No more nights in boy's books
Counseling
Cooking
Dinner party bookings
Don't you just love my ass?

So I want blue eyes
Breast enlargements
Firm thighs
Chocolate milkshakes
No more diet headaches
Sexual branding
More than understanding
Don't you just love my ass?

So I take Vic pills
Contraception, gin calls
Visits to health clubs
No more nights in boy's books
Counseling
Cooking
Dinner party bookings
Won't you please love my ass?

I'm conscious of myself
I'm conscious of myself
I'm conscious of myself
I'm conscious of myself

Thinking back now
I suppose you were just stating your views
What was it all for?
for the weather or the battle of agincourt
& the times that we all hoped would last
like a train they have gone by so fast
& though we stood together at the edge of the platform
we were not moved by them
With my own hands
when I make love to your memory
It's not the same
I miss the thunder, I miss the rain
& the fact that you don't understand
casts a shadow over this land
but the sun still shines from behind it...
Thanks all the same
but I cannot bring myself to answer your letters
It's not your fault
but your honesty touches me like a fire
The polaroids that keep us together
will surely fade away
like the love that we spoke of forever
..on st. swithin's day

I'm a liar
You're a cheat
I'm tired
You're asleep
Times change
And so
So must we
Old arrangements
Too old
To keep

So let us dance to the songs
Dance to the songs
Those were the days
Those were the days
Dance to the songs
Decisions were wrong
Those were the days, my friend

You are homeless
I'm inside
You so bitter
I have my pride
Days are long
When your heart is buoyed
Swan song
We can't avoid

So let us dance to the songs
Dance to the songs
Those were the days
Getting your way
Dance to the songs
Decisions were wrong
Those were the days, my friend

Dance to the songs
Dance to the songs
Those were the days
Those were the days

Dance to the songs
Dance to the songs
Those were the days
Those were the days

Dance to the songs
Dance to the songs
Those were the days
Those were the days

Dance to the songs
Dance to the songs
Those were the days
Those were the days

Dance to the songs
Dance to the songs
Those were the days
Those were the days

Dance to the songs
Dance to the songs
Those were the days

Is it asking too much to be given time
To know these songs and to sing them
Is it asking too much of my vacant smile
And my laugh and lies that bring them
But as the stars are going out
And this stage is full of nothing
And the friends have all but gone
For my life, my God, I′m singing
We′ll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I′ll watch the stars go out
We′ll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I′ll watch the stars go out
Is it asking too much of my favourite friends
To take these songs for real
Is it asking too much of my partner′s hands
To take these songs for real
But as the stars are going out
And this stage is full of nothing
And the friends have all but gone
For my life, my God, I′m singing
We′ll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I′ll watch the stars go out
We′ll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I′ll watch the stars go out
We′ll take our hearts outside...
We′ll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I′ll watch the stars go out
We′ll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I′ll watch the stars go out
We′ll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I′ll watch the stars go out
We′ll take our hearts outside,
Leave our lives behind,
I′ll watch the stars go out
I′ll watch the stars go out
I′ll watch the stars go out...

If you need somebody around you
Well then I'll be the one who's there
If you need somebody to listen
Well then I'll be the one who's there

But you seem to think you'll manage alone
I'll be around and I'll be waiting for your call
If you need somebody to love you
Well, then I'll be the one who's there
Yes, I'll be the one who's there...

In time the stakes will change
even persistination couldn't stay
I don't mind
I don't mind
I'll be around anywhere
any place you want me
I'll be around anywhere
any time I'm free
In time this place is mine
you know the inspiration in my smile
I don't mind
I don't mind
Leave it all behind
I don't mind

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 the monotony of the tower block
I′m not so manic now
I can uphold the weight of those neighbours
And she′s lifting and throwing to the wall
The post-natal harmonies of youth
When this younger man, twenty-five
Advantageously took away her pride
The wind′s whistling
My mind′s twisting
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
When the doorbell strangely rang
I staggered shaking slowly to the door
Through the frosted panel I could see you
Your intentions as a salesman truly cush
You endeavoured as a psycho just to push
And whilst lifting and throwing to the wall
My puny structure of an ageing OAP
No reason why you chose my flat
Breathing deeply in a trance
The wind′s whistling
My mind′s twisting
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
When the doorbell strangely rang
I′m not so manic now (not so manic now)
I′m not so manic now (not so manic now)
I′m not so manic now (not so manic now)
I′m not so manic now (not so manic now)
Because I′ve been up here for a while
I′m starting to feel the monotony of the tower block
I′m not so manic now
I can uphold the weight of those neighbours
And she′s lifting and throwing to the wall
The post-natal harmonies of youth
When this younger man, twenty-five
Advantageously took away her pride
I′m not so manic now
I′m not so manic now
I′m not so manic now
I′m not so manic now
Not so manic now
I′m not so manic now
I′m not so manic now
Not so manic now
I′m not so manic now
I′m not so manic now
Not so manic now
I′m not so manic now
I′m not so manic now
Not so manic now

Hello my dear friend
your reputation quite true
These are thoughts I've held on
& saved inside for you
I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever
Maybe it's been two years
it could be three
you know it's hard to recall
I was younger I thought it was me
maybe you were someone else then too
I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever
It's the same old thing
You know I said it from the start
that living together is something you do
married is something you are
now...
I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever
& even after all this
I writing to you now
to be reminded of it all
Darling can you hear me
do you understand
our best decisions so often were unplanned
I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever
not ever... not ever... not ever
