Frente!

when we are together
we journey to the sea
and i am always at the wheel
well that's what you say to me
and can you tell me
when we reach the water
and can you tell me
when my face is wet

look, look in the mirror
for the bounce and spark
of the butt you've thrown
don't turn around
you're a long way from home

you look in my wardrobe
and tell me what i've done
you say that my mind
is as dark as trodden boards
you say i don't understand
but at least i know it
do you see yourself in me
and hide away in fright?

look, look in the mirror
for the bounce and spark
of the butt you've thrown
don't turn around
you're a long way
you're a long way
you're a long, long way from home

You get the world for your birthday baby
Open your eyes and say yes, no, maybe
The box ticks on, the core is a bomb
The world is silent
You listen like a lover to it

Sometimes a mirror's a miracle
Sometimes it's nothing at all
In this reflection even angels fall
You could fly anytime

Ba-da-da-daa etc.

(even though you own your own comet)

Ordinary people
It's okay
You don't have to wear those wings
They're stupid things

I know some dizzy, easy heights
Don't stop your life at the lights
Don't be smart, be a beginner
Don't be wrong, even when it's right

Ordinary people
It's okay
We're not watching anyway
It's okay

Ba-da-da-daa etc.

Hello my friend
It's morning, time to wake now
In body, in mind
Entwined will have to break now
But I need your flesh
Your warmth to stay beside me
Oh how I wish
You could be deep inside me
Show me your eyes
Your low most tender feeling
And I'll give you mine
Be truthful and revealing

And it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew that it's love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

When we're alone
I cannot always face you
Maybe my mood
Won't let these arms embrace you
But that doesn't mean
My love's somehow diminished
Give me the time
To show our love's unfinished

And it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I know that it's love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

And every word I say is true

What can I say?
The words destroy all meaning
There's only cliches
To get across this feeling

This is a love song
For john and (? )'s mother
This isn't easy
I might not write another

And it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew that it's love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

Every time I think of you I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue It's no problem of mine But it's a problem I find Living a life that I can't leave behind But there's no sense in telling me The wisdom of the fool won't set you free But that's the way that it goes And it's what nobody knows well every day my confusion grows Every time I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray I'm waiting for that final moment You say the words that I can't say I feel fine and I feel good I'm feeling like I never should Whenever I get this way I just don't know what to say Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday I'm not sure what this could mean I don't think you're what you seem I do admit to myself That if I hurt someone else Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be Every time I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray I'm waiting for that final moment You say the words that I can't say

do you ever wake up in the morning
somebody's changed the deal
who you are, the way you feel
the whole situation's just a little unreal
you're sleeping with an eight minute warning
living hanging over your head
it's just God's hand but i understand
sometimes it's kinda difficult to get out of bed

naked in my storm
you haven't even got a future just to keep you warm
you once were something wild
someone's lover, someone's child
do you hear that sound?
another young lover just hit the ground
do you know me at all?

do you ever look out of the window
somebody's changed the scene
you feel like you're standing in another country
nobody can understand what you mean
are you happy with your human hatred?
stand up and look into the vacancy and tell me -
have you already decided to die?
have you already decided to die?

do you hear that sound?
another young lover just hit the ground
all the boys and girls are falling in a hush in the unkind world
i remember a time when we were all quite prepared
to climb, but we were so young
and the one you say you love
is just the one you most mistrust
and you tiptoe through your lives
you pretend you're all so
dangerous

hi, i'm an ordinary organism
and i was kinda linging the walls
in a warzone, slamdance, backbeat
poison and meandering
i hear the little voice say
oh baby are you all alone?
i get ready for the dangerous behaviour
i feel the pull of my genetic code
sometimes what you see
makes you holler for your saviour
especially the babies
all set to explode

i look up past the jewellery
the ecstasy, the insanity
i count the knives
count the teeth in her smile
people are just animals
angry, hungry
they falter for an instant
then you see the child and you say -
i love you baby
love you every single little bit
i love your walk, your talk
your smile, your style, your tits
i love the way you swing that
circumstance around
you could ask me again
and i would bow down, i'd bow down, but...
i see you but i don't believe you
i see you but i don't believe you
i see you but i don't believe you
i see you but i don't believe you





i see you but i don't believe you
i see you but i don't believe you
i see you but i don't believe you
hey, i see you but i don't believe you

here's a door and
here's a window
here's the ceiling
here's the floor
the room is lit like
a black and white movie
the t.v.'s on, that's what it's for
and if you walk real slowly
you can feel the planet breathe
there's no need to feel so lowly
now that we've all learned to give

accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet

in the garden birds are singing
the sun is shining on the path
the wind is talking to the flowers
the dogs and cats all take a bath
and if you stop that talking
you can hear the traffic sigh
throw away those keys
start walking, watch those
tiny things go by

accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet

it's sunday everyday
and there's no need to rush around
inside of everybody there's sun
and laughter to be found
it seems that we're on holidays
and sleeping in is not a sin
all the housework's done by teatime
i'm feeling good about
the way i've been

perhaps this optimism
will crash on down
like a house of cards
i know that my decision
to change my life was not that hard

accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet

accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet

accidently...
accidently...
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet!

the telephone's a terrorist
i'm not even listening
i'm walking with an audience
what isn't an accident

suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
i'm waiting to hear the worst words
explode into love at my ear

this is not my skin
i was invited in
a sweeter singer
than anything

suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
what's worse than my fears
the worst words explode

fear is my atmosphere
falling is frightening
i don't know what you're doing here
you are like my lightening

suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
suddenly pure the worst words
explode into love at my ear

...worst words explode

A girl the word that she hasn't heard
The truth is tiptoing the adge of her skirt
The traffic's so blue the streets are river
She's bigger and braver than she is clever
See it's her it's her see it's her it's her
A mind so complax it's breaking her neck
She thinks she's a car-driving to it's on reck
Too wild and cool vernaravel
To think one could change her that's where I'm a fool
won't you see it's her it's her see it's her it's her

A girl is a verb a word of colour
In doing she's been she never thought she was thinking any thing you could
See it's her it's her see it's her it's her
A girl is the word
A girl is a verb
A girl is the WORLD

you know you never know yourself
all the years you've lived
you could be someone else
and all the times you've been alone
all the lies you told
now haunt your perfect spacious home

and now there's no time
and now there's no time
it's not such a crime
to say you don't love her

all those awkward silences over breakfast
as you fumble with your toast
you know the magic's gone for good
little things get on your nerves
that never worried you before

and now there's no time
and now there's no time
it's not such a crime
to say you don't love her

and you swore
it would never happen to you
and you said
you'd always be so true
ba-da-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh...

and now there's no time
and now there's no time
and now there's no time
and now there's no time
it's not such a crime
to say you don't love her

there's a girl i know with a poison rose
she's gonna bring her
i suppose

everybody's got a pretty friend
the words they buy
the time they spend
goodnight

when her friend's around
she disappears
amid the broken stems
and tears

everybody's got a pretty friend
the words they buy
the time they spend
goodnight

it's a bitter pill
and it's hard to swallow
she could take the lead
but she never follows

the bed of roses
turn to nails
the best laid plans
always fail

everybody's got a pretty friend
the words they buy
the time they spend
goodnight
goodnight
da-la-la-la-la

i love my country
but it wears a uniform
it speaks with foreign guns
in the background you can almost hear
the sound of intervention

and i don't know when liberty fell
but we rang every mission bell
we rang them loud and clearly
for a world that wouldn't listen

i don't want to die
i'm as innocent as anybody
i don't even know how to spell
revolutionary
jesus in the sky
the bullets in the guns
you don't even know what we
mean by repression

blood is the colour of the sunset
you walked into the darkness
i did not hear your last breath
there will not be an inquest
this is not human interest

we danced the dirt with
surrender for our drumbeat
we danced for the balance sheet
died for the kind of lasting peace
that pleases the world policeman

and fatherland raped motherhood
and told her it was for the global good
and now we ring the mission bell
to warn their children

and i don't want to die
i'm as innocent as anybody
i don't even know how to spell
revolutionary
jesus in the sky
the bullets in the guns
you don't even know what we
mean by repression

blood is the colour of the sunset
you walked into the darkness
i did not hear your last breath
there will not be an inquest
this is not human interest

wide open eye
you serious?
you delirious?
kissing chaos
have you got a heart?
you could really lose it in the
super - people - mart
you are the most beautiful thing i know
and the most beautiful thing is
when i hear your heartbeat...beat...beat
will human be dumb and free
or some amazing catastrophe
never too scared to bare
to care to running to the riot
where the moment meets
the most beautiful thing i know
and the most beautiful thing is

something new i dunno why
i know all there is i know
something new i dunno why
i know all there is i know

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalaetc.

where is your how?
holding up your frown
a prop to stop you smiling now
heaven or the heather
or the miracles of weather
but you listen to
the most beautiful thing i know
and the most beautiful thing
darling
is when i hear your heartbeat...beat...beat
is when i hear your heart

Am I real
And what do I feel
Hate is half a heart
Only I am in my arms

You were sold
For something to hold
Nothing's as rude as the cold
Stupidly beautifoolish true you
Maybe madness is a heart
Maybe heaven is a habit

If I could fly
I'd live in the sky
And obviously you do too
The very start of everything hard
Could be the slip of a fingertip

You get the world for your birthday baby
Open your eyes and say yes, no, maybe
The box ticks on the core is a bomb
the world is silent you listen like a lover to it

Sometimes a mirror's a miracle
Sometimes it's nothing at all
In this reflection even angels fall
You could fly anytime
Even though you own your own comet

Ordinary people it's OK
You don't have to wear those wings
They're stupid things

I know some dizzy easy heights
Don't stop your life at the lights
Don't be smart be a beginner
Don't be wrong even when it's right

Ordinary people it's okay
we're not watching anyway
It's okay

oh am i fooling you
do you fall for it all
or do you just see right through
are you as cool as you believe
are you playing hard
are you waiting just to
quietly clock my card
are you waiting for a
moment to leave

i don't know how i bent
what you said
to what i believe you meant
i don't know anything at all
i'm standing in the push and shove
and i'm just within the rescue
of the labour of your love
i can't do anything but fall
a fall a fall fall fall
why do i feel like
i can never find you
why do i feel like
i'm the only survivor
why am i thinking of
you and me and the labour of love
one chance one shot
that's all anybody ever got
newborn still warm
naked in the rush hour
dancing in my gutter
and if you want to find me
call me i'll be far from
the cars and guitars and everybody
do i feel like
i can never find you
do i feel like
i'm the only survivor
why am i thinking of
you and me and the labour of love

and i never knew before
but i feel like a child
in a cold cold war
so strong so tough
sitting in suburbia
waiting for the wind up
and i don't want to dance
i just want to jump
from the prison of circumstance
why am i thinking of
you and me and the labour of love
do i feel like
i can never find you
do i feel like
i'm the only survivor
why am i thinking of
you and me and the labour of love
