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 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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! |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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. |
