Feels so much colder, now you’re away Blue room in Archway Searchin all the places you could be And I can feel your ghost over me
Four walls ultra marine Lock myself away Blue room in Archway
Searchin all the places you could be And I can feel your ghost over me And it’s hard to define my reasons For hiding away Cursing the day when I leave Can’t you read the sign on my window
Why don’t you leave me alone............... Blue room in Archway
Leaves everywhere outside your house running after you ‘cos you walk too fast And we can’t find a cab looks like the Northern line again Remember that time outside your room playing with the cat just me and you It was my favourite time My world stopped for just an hour
I am the voice but not the sound I can go up yet still be down
And you don’t know the places that I’ve been to you wouldn’t like m㉣e if you knew
(whatcha gonna do when it all breaks down? whatcha gonna do when you lose the sound?) Don’t remind me I cannot say (What happened to the fire that got you through? The days when nothing went right to you?)
Hey! nothing changed I’m still the same Hey boy what’s the score don’t you give a shit about yourself no more? If you don’t want me to be real don’t look up to me
There are three saints that shaped my life Alban, Bede and Mary I’ve nothing but disrespect for them And for what they almost made me
Those who taught, taught what they were taught and not what they had learned
Sister I can’t feel what you feel let me try Brother lay your arms down and open your eyes I believe in love (wow!) laugh if you must I don’t care... cos I don’t dare
He had a ticket but what was weird they found it in his ear She gave a fortune to those in need But her heart was saved for me MONDAY IS MY BIRTHDAY, TUESDAY IS HER BIRTHDAY BLUE BALLOON FOR YOU, RED BALLOON FOR HER
Outside the sky is filled with rain And I’m glad to be home again, oh yeah?
The sky was bullfrog green Man you would have been amazed The rain beat up the fields My mind turned from less fortunate days
And you know you shouldn't have another cigarette But nothing else makes much sense, nothing else will recompense And you get your loneliness out of a magazine You never felt nothing at all, no one else need ever know
Another one has dragged you home And sworn that you're the only one You dream they'll play a special part You write their name upon your heart But then it's back inside your head The thought that it will turn out bad A fleeting glimpse of what is bound to be
Don't paint blue all the time Know the truth, read the signs Live your life as a lie You don't have to die
Now the phone has lost its voice You're on your own again Spend your time on endless bedroom floor soliloquies The only voice you'll hear all day Will it always be this way? (yes)
Once you recognize the truth That all is sad and you're the proof You might as well fight the day Kick back at the pricks who say That all is school and work no more Break your back, it's not your war Disengage, the only way to win
Don't paint blue all the time Know the truth, read the signs Live your life as a lie You don't have to die
Opened up my paintbox, It had all turned to blue
I worked in Birkenhead for you It brings me tears even now You tried to kill me, break my will You almost won, I hate you still The hated suffer not, what's worse The hater carries round the curse It eats me up, the cancer that is you
Don't paint blue all the time Know the truth, read the signs Live your life as a lie You don't have to die
Though you know you have to go It’s much too hard to do Pack all your things though you only have a few We have got no business here there’s nothing left for us get on the bus...
Streets stretch out miles ahead half blind wishing I’d come to bed Where’s he? I told him there on this day at this hour I don’t wanna make a scene or cause a fuss Here it is right on time, it really is a must Get on the bus
Streets stretch out miles away As we have this curse place on time where next I’ve no idea Ask the driver if you care I don’t wanna make a scene or cause a fuss Here it is right on time, it really is a must Get on the bus
So we proved we’re alive Showed that we can beat time Another one joins the line of those who’ve died But I still see Yes I still hear and Oh! what a time we had Oh! what a time we had...
All my life has been so missable A goddam crying shame Eyes to see with ears to hear While those who're not to blame Can't do what we take for granted Trapped in their own heads I know if it were to happen now I'd wish that I were dead
I complain about my looks I feel bad ¡®bout my hair Jesus that's so sad I admit it now Why should anyone care Let me be your ears your eyes Your legs I'm what you need I can't go on living this life Wrapped in my own greed
I don't imagine I'll go, you never wanted to Be that way, I never wanted to be this way
I love the light that shines and the Sound that's all around I love the light that shines and the Sound that's all around
And everyone knows It's hard to do and say what is right But that's allright Cos we've got colours for the blind
Have you heard of Meltin's worm? It crawled right into his house. The dividends of grubby hands And putting them into your mouth. It set up shop, and would not stop Gorging whatever Meltin could eat. Its exquisite taste, it went to waste On a diet consisting of sweets.
The doctor came and laid the blame On Meltin's nails, he was biting He made demands they didn't understand Because they couldn't read his writing It grew and grew, and it knew That time was on its side It got such a size, you could see its eyes When Meltin opened his wide
And there's just one thing it cares about (Grow, grow, grow) Knitting sweaters for the army (Keep me always) Checking numbers off the telly (Keep me always) Making plans with Mr. Felstead (Keep me always) It does it no good, it just needs more food
Have you heard of Meltin's worm? It finally killed him to death. Now his Ma feeds it, the uniform fits So she sends it to school instead. (I will always be inside)
New Brighton Promenade What am I trying to say? You were just on my mind Do you remember me?
This life is not easy The one thing that can please me The memory of me and my friends Kicking round your shore
New Brighton Promenade It's 1983 For ever on the place Whether I choose to be
And time has passed quickly The years have been kind to me The memories go with my friends Will always be around
You still exist inside my head There's no such thing as being dead When somebody keeps your ghost inside And if you looked inside my head you wouldn't Find a mind instead Step into New Brighton Promenade
This life is not easy The one thing that can please me The memory of me and my friends Kicking round your shore
I was dreaming about Hamilton Square and the newsstand by the station Where we bought the papers every single day I was thinking about the way we treat each other And the way things never stay the same Remembering all these people, all these places A cats gotta learn some day Sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid We were laughing about that time in New Brighton one summer When you got there and I’d already been And you could’nt believe that I had forgotten that it happened Even forget so it seems Remebering all these people, all these places A cats gotta learn some day Sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid
We were talking about the times we’ve been together And the future seemed so very far away We were coming to terms with the fact that we’re not young anymore But we’re grateful for the times we’ve had Remembering all these people, all these places A cats gotta learn some day sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid All these people, all these places A cats gotta learn some day sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid
All these people, all these places A cats gotta learn some day sad songs are easier to play, I’m afraid
Reasons for believing in anything Are few and far between these days And I am just a boy who can’t say no Things are so much clearer in a haze And you don’t know, so why not give it a chance Heaven’s at the bottom of this glass Lessons are for learning then throwing away Experience has taught me nothing Think I’ll take a chance and miss you today You can choose real life if you want And you don’t know, so why not give it a chance Heaven’s at the bottom of this glass Blinded by the sunshine give me neon light When I’m far away this is my home A small one on the side to aid my flight Then I can feel my wings begin to grow And you don’t know, so why don’t give it a chance Heaven’s at the bottom of this glass
The night is filled with stars that last a lifetime long They all belong to me I would like to see you can come home soon I’ve kept it blue for you How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me....... All I have is not all that I need to be I need to see this through Living under people who don’t speak for me Don’t care for me or you
How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me
Loneliness makes a man possesed It drives him back It drives him back to other times When life was not so very kind So long ago, in another world When no-one knew the things I’d seen I don’t think I could do it all again Words confuse as Governments refuse To give us but a small sign That each of us is not alone In times of need nothing is received Because politics is power And power is a daily need
I’m coming up for air How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me How would you like to share How would you like to share it all with me..............
Try to put yourself in my place It’s written all over my face I’m closer to God I’ve shed my dirty old skin Grown a brand new feeling I’m closer to God Thinking fast and feeling free And there’s no-one who can touch me Higher than the Universe itself Thanks I don’t need no help I don’t have to see my picture Or my name in a music paper Now I’m close to God I don’t have trouble sleepingI don’t have to go to meetings When I’m close to God Thinking fast and feeling free And there’s no one who can touch me Higher than the Universe itself Thanks I don’t need no help It’s a secret no one keeps it Reveals the places others try to hide It tips the balance from the violence That lies within the bottles on the side
Now we’re high as monkeys Now we’ve come so far You and I are simple friends no more Now we’re high as monkeys Opened a few doors Let the sunshine crash into our souls Try to put yourself in my place It’s written all over my face I’m closer to God I’ve shed my dirty old skin Grown a brand new feeling I’m closer to God Thinking fast and feeling free And there’s no-one who can touch me Higher than the Universe itself It’s a secret no one keeps it Reveals the places others try to hide It tips the balance from the violence That lies within the bottles on the side Now we’re high as monkeys Now we’ve come so far You and I are simple friends no more Now we’re high as monkeys Opened a few doors Let the sunshine crash into our souls
It’s only been a week or two And me I have done nothing Though there’s so much to do Just lie here, don’t go to town It doesn’t really matter Nothing ever gets me down... You’ve been away too long It’s lonely when you are gone You’ve been away too long At times I feel so alone
It’s easy to let it go I’ve lost so many hours Doing what I do not know This blue room, a time machine It doesn’t really matter I’ve got everything I need... You’ve been away too long At times I feel so alone You’ve been away too long It’s so lonely when you are gone I’ve been away too long At times I feel so alone.........
Summer's gone, days spent with the grass and sun I don't mind, to pretend I do seems really dumb I rise as the morning comes Crawling through the blinds I shouldn't be up at this time,Wake up, it's so beautiful for what could be the very last time
Twenty-Five I don't recall a time I felt this alive So WAKE UP BOO! There's so many things for us to do but I can't sleep with you there by my side
Wake up, it's a beautiful morning Feel the sun shining for your eyes Wake up, it's so beautiful For what could be the very last time
It's early so take your time, don't let me rush you please I know I was up all night, I can do anything, anything, anything
..
Wake Up! Wake Up!............
But you can't blame me Not for the death of summer No you can't blame me Not for the death of summer But you're gonna say what you wanna say You have to put the death in everything
..
Wake up, it's a beautiful morning Feel the sun shining for your eyes Wake up, it's so beautiful For what could be the very last time...............
