If we received a warning call,
Would we change at all?
Close your eyes and make believe
And tell me what you see.

Will we rise
From our sleep
Like a bolt from the blue?
Will we realise?

If they found a tube in outer space
And no-one knew who put it there.
If they looked inside and
Found out they'd lived lonely lives,
Followed by a lonesome death
They sent it hoping we would learn
They blew it here with their final breath.
They made a list of their mistakes-
It looked a lot like ours.
If it happened, do you think we'd learn?
Do you think we'd learn?

Will we rise
From our sleep
Like a bolt from the blue?
Will we realise?

If they knew how to talk through space,
And we received a warning call
Do you think we'd learn?
Would it be in vain?
Do you think we'd learn?

Let's not end our days
Like they did on earth.

Don't look so forlorn
‘Cause something's going to come
I don't know where from.
I don't know where
Don't you look so sad
‘Cause something's going to come
I don't know where from,
I don't know where
Don't you look at me
Like things aren't going to be
The way we thought they'd be
‘Cause we've got love,
Always
Love always.
La La La-La La La-La La
Stop.

Don't you turn around
Have faith in what you chose
‘Cause life can sense your attitude
I don't know how
You've got to realise
That hope looks in your eyes
If you look away it flies
Let's look forward
If you still believe
That things are going to be
Like we hoped they'd be
Then we'll have love
Always
Love always
La La La-La La La-La La

Always
Beware when you
Call the
Devil ‘cause
Every
Favour
Garnered
Has an
Intention.
Jars of
Kisses
Left on the
Mantle
Next to
Orbs of
Peace and
Quiet.
Reach out and
Save me
Touch me
Utter those
Very
Words that once

You sang to me with my
Zither
And after you
Brought me the
Choice and I
Decided
Every chance I'll
Fight for feeling
Golden and
Hopeful
It might
Just be the
Key to
Living
My life
Nobly
O-oh O-oh
Please come
Quickly
Rescue me with your
Soothing
Touch it
Understands the
Very heart and
Where you touch me

You trace lines and
Zig-zags on the insides of my
Arms

I've been
Trying
Fixing the problem

You pressed
The button
To launch yourself
While I was outside

I heard a spark ignite
I saw a ball of light
I watched you lifting off
There could be no mistake
My hope and faith misplaced
I saw you lifting off

You pressed
The button
To launch yourself
While I was outside
You left me stranded
While you broke through
The atmosphere

I guess you thought you'd start
A new clean sheet and heart
From when you lifted off
I watched you disappear
A ringing in my ear
From when you lifted off

You pressed
The button
To launch yourself
While I was outside
You left me stranded
While you broke through
To other worlds

You left
Me stranded
While you broke through
To other worlds

You pressed
The button
To launch yourself
While I was outside
You left
Me stranded
You launched yourself
While I was outside

You pressed
The button
To launch yourself
While I was outside
You left
Me stranded
You launched yourself
While I was outside

Come with me
There's something you should see
In the evening sky
Put on your warmest coat
We'll be breathing ghosts
And they don't want us to see
So they join the clouds
Which clot above our heads

But on a clear night,
If you look close enough
You can just make out Love
And other planets
We are not alone

And normally
It's bright enough to see
With a naked eye
I held you close to me
And I felt you smile
And you whispered in my ear
I know it's there
Let's make our own light

But on a clear night
If you look close enough
You can just make out
Love and other planets
We are not alone
And on this clear night
If I hold you close enough
I can feel love.

Crashland
You took your own life in your hands
You had to escape him somehow
Oh you knew
You knew it would hurt

Pull yourself free
With the wreckage at your feet
Feel the relief
All your doubts and wounds will be
Gone
Gone

Crashlander
There's damage, but at least you're alive
The hardest thing you could have done, you've done now
It gets easy from here

As you turn your back on
The constellation you flew from
You are hurting, lonely,
Hopeful, happy

Pull yourself free
With the wreckage at your feet
There's a million worlds to explore
When you're ready the cosmos is yours
Yours.

So here we are
And we're looking for
A treasure
Take a deep breath
And follow me
To the sea

We're nearly there
Take a deep breath
And follow me
Find what you seek

Let's dive
‘Cause I'm seasick from this solid ground

We're so close,
I think we
Have found it here
It's at the tips of our fingers
Feel it at the tips of our tongues

Let's dive
‘Cause I'm seasick from the solid ground
Let's dive
Who knows what we might find around

Searching
I wore out my telescope
And I nearly gave up hope of finding anything

Discovery
Was an accidental thing
A reflection slipping in
To the corner of my eye

I saw you
And moon
And hope flooded through me
I just needed proof

I saw you and moon
I had to get closer
For a look

Alone and
A universe away
I was drawn to make my way to where the living are

My eyelids
Filled with hypnogogic shapes
And my body wracked with shakes
I travelled light years
In heart beats

I saw you and moon
Dancing together against dark blue
I saw you and moon
I never felt lonely ‘til I saw you

Been making
Music
With instruments
Of science
Distracted
And happy
And so self
Reliant

Then I saw you and moon
And hope flooded through me
And I chased proof
But I left, I left too soon
‘cause light is a liar
And so are you
I saw you and moon
But the image was older
Than the truth
When I arrived
I found only tombs ‘cause light is a liar
Telling old truths
Having had something to aim for
Has left me lost.

if I wanted to be alone i'd be happy now
and if i wanted to hold on to those memories of…
if i'd tried harder would i still be here?
holding on a while tried harder
i might have i might i might have done
if i wanted to be alone i'd be happy right now

I know that I've
Not been the same
Since the day we walked around and marvelled at the firmament

Both wrapped up
In a blanket that was handed down
And it struck me like a meteor

It's hard to explain, so hard to explain how I'm so sure

These lights are meaningful
We've got to understand
And work out what they say
These lights are meaningful
They'll tell what we forgot
We have a mission here
These lights are meaningful
We must translate them now
Else we'll just float around

We have reason here
Something beyond ourselves
These lights are meaningful

I needed purpose,
I was given one
To find the reasons for life
Etched between the distant suns and
The Zodiac gives clues to the wealth of all that once we knew

It's hard to explain so hard to explain how I'm so sure

These lights are meaningful
We have forgot ourselves
We drift on oblivious
These lights are meaningful
A message writ out large
Lest we forget ourselves
These lights are meaningful
This is our final chance
We had a mission here once

There not just pretty sparks
They're more than tiny stars
These lights are meaningful
We have a reason here
We must resolve ourselves

Maybe I got it wrong
Maybe I am just alone
Anything to feel alive
Take my hand and take me home
Make me feel like I'm not alone

It's what I need

You marked
The back of my hand
You drew a heart
And some tiny dots
And a spiral
Which reminded me
Of the Milky Way
And it made me think

If our galaxy
And Andromeda
Felt like you and me
Were like the way we are
They couldn't feel as vast
And if they join
At six billion lives per second
And they danced around
Linking spiral arms
As they'd spin
Spin through infinity
They couldn't feel as vast
As I feel now

Galactic tectonic shifts
In my chest
And behind my eyes
And yet the smallest vibration
Like the touch of your pen
Makes my hair makes my hair stand on end

You marked
The back of my hand
You drew a heart
And some tiny dots
And a spiral
Which together spell
‘I want you'
In electricity

Human beings, gather 'round
Everybody, please take heart
The universe won't let us down
A miracle will happen soon
Holding hands there's still some hope.

Watch the dark clouds bruising
Bellies flushed with water
They swell above your heads

Pull your coats around you
Feel the wind cut through them
Scraping at your bones

Hold her in the falling rain
Hold him like you've never done
Let this be a moment
That you won't forget
That you won't forget
That you won't forget
All your life
‘til you die

Statued close together
A precious, tender moment
A solemn, sombre time

Hold her in the falling rain
Hold him like you've never done
Let this be a moment
That you won't forget
That you won't forget
That you won't forget
All your life
‘til you die

Though I owe you,
I owe you no allegiance
But I still feel guilty for the things that I have done
These past fifteen days

It was easy
To just let it happen
I've been with people who sing gorgeous songs
While you're just ringing in my ear

And filling with envy
Who will you turn to now?
It was your decision I won't hear you
with hating and screaming still ringing in my ear

You threw me away
Away to the jackals
But the jackals they showed me a good time
While you're just ringing in my ear

I toasted marshmallows
While you burned our bridges down
And I looked at landscapes that I had forgotten
Lit up by the fire

And filling with envy
Who will you turn to now?
It was your decision I won't hear you
With hating and screaming still ringing in my ear

It's a sunny September
The colours are bright here
And the birds sing of beautiful places
While you are just ringing in my ear

Wherever you've gone it's the same to me
Be it ocean or London - wherever you call home.
All dressed up in your finery
You'll take what you can again

And every love I've ever had
With envy and vanity
Has sworn me to secrecy
So tell me: how can we share out these things
That weren't mine or yours, but ours?

I wonder if you are alone tonight
You're probably laughing at me
Wearing your clothes and your make up
That you always left off for me

It's alright
Everything will be alright
We had a good time
There's plenty more left for me
It's alright
Everything will be alright
Though it might take a long time
You'll be a memory

It sunned and it rained and it sunned again
On the trip that I took away
And looking back with all honesty
It reflected the moods that I had

Walk on this side for a while if you can
Turn on the smile as we talk if you want
Speak your insides and my head for some time
I hope you're alright, but I know

I sit by your side as you sleep for a while
Your secret's unbound and blood's lost as it's found
Recover the life that you lost at that time
You'll be alright - I just know.

I wish that I'd arrived a little sooner -
You really should have called we'd have come here right away
You tried to help yourself but you got it wrong

You've thrown yourself
Into the flames 'cause you're covered in cold
But these are your friends
They give out a nice warm glow

You've tried so hard to see for yourself
Your perspective is wrong
These are your friends
Let them come guide you on

Listen now - now's the time to listen
There're lessons to be learned
I've seen this before in my own life
You feel covered up, removed from the world around you
With all your senses dulled you'd do anything to feel
You tried to help yourself, but you got it wrong

You've thrown yourself
Into the flames 'cause you're covered in cold
But these are your friends
They give out a nice warm glow

What have you done? You're cutting your cord
You're floating in space
But these are your friends
They'll be your star-map home

Everybody needs some help sometimes

Home is where your heart comes from
But what do you do when your heart's gone
With everything you need?

You got your stuff you packed your bags
You checked your things made sure you had
Everything you need

You upped, you left, you went away
To love to fight another day
'gainst everything you need

Laa daa day laa daa day laa daa day laa daa day

You severed your ties
Left us all behind
You said all your goodbyes
To everything you need
You severed your ties
Re-forge them make it right
Come back with open eyes
To everything you need

'cause moments they can turn to dreams
And hopes and wants can sometimes seem
Like everything you need
But treated bad then left alone
You cried, we said to come back home
To everything you need

Laa daa day laa daa day laa daa day laa daa day

You severed your ties
Left us all behind
You said all your goodbyes
To everything you need
You severed your ties
Re-forge them make it right
Come back with open eyes
To everything you need

I came 'cause you asked me to, so you
didn't have to drive all alone
Now I did the favour here, not you
Remember, I did the favour here

I've been smiling my best smile
I've been laughing with your friends
doing everything you asked on the way
and I don't know what I've done but we
haven't talked for hours and I'm
waiting for the long drive home

Do you believe in me enough to say so?

She came from another life of mine
Oh she came from another life
A face to the name that dampened days
She's a face and a body and smile

But we hardly said a word
I begin to wish we had as the
headlamps of the cars stream by
And the radio has broke and I'm
lost for things to say as we're
speeding on the long drive home

Looking at you with your eyes firmly fixed on the road
and your mind on an hour ago
And you are looking at me like you think that I started a war
While white lights
So like tracers shoot by

Do you believe in me enough to say so?

It's night time
I'm sleepy
Will you take me home?

It's snowing
Out here
Will you keep me warm?

Could this be my home for tonight?
Rest my head upon the pillow
Need to stop my head from spinning

I can't think
Clearly
But I saw you smile
I'm sure I saw you smile

We had a nice time
We had such the nice time
Will you take my hand?

Could this be my home for tonight?
Rest my head upon the pillow
Close my eyes - I'll slumber easy here

Wake me
With kisses
Like butterflies

Could this be my home for tonight?
Rest my head upon the pillow
Close my eyes - I'll slumber easy here
Could it be I've found my home?

I'd do just about anything
If I could just catch your eye
But I'm a blade in a field
Way below in the floor
I'm one in a million -
Got to try to be more

I glowed in gold
Like a tiny mote of dust in a sunbeam
And we all must seem alike as we float here

I want you more than indifferent
If I could just catch your eye
But I'm a fish in the sea
Would you know what you saw?
I'm one in a million -
Got to try to be more

I fell to you
Like a tiny drop of rain in a cloudburst
But I guess you didn't notice so
I glowed in gold
Like a tiny mote of dust in a sunbeam
But we all must seem alike as we float here

Fool, you've lost your way
Look to the stars to guide you

I hope you find
All you need in this life to get by

And if all the lights that lead you
Lead you to my door
It will always be open
There will always be lights on
There will always be room at my table for you

Take what you want,
But leave us a sign
You become what you left behind

I hope you find
All you need in this life to get by

And if all the lights that lead you
Lead you to my door
It will always be open
There will always be lights on
There will always be room at my table to you

you cut your head on the bedside table.
your temple bled as you were unable to remember
the lines of what you were reading
about someone deciding to quit speaking.

what i was just reading
about someone deciding to quit speaking
began to dissolve into my lap
as the words gave up their attempts at meaning.

Oh my lover
Don't you know it's alright ?
You can love her
You can love me at the same time
Much to discover
I know you don't have the time but
Oh my lover
Don't you know it's alright ?

Oh my sweet thing
Oh my honey thighs
Give me your troubles
I'll keep them with mine
Take at your leisure
Take whatever you can find but
Oh my sweet thing
Don't you know it's alright ?

It's alright
It's alright
There's no time
So it's alrigh-igh-ight

What's that color
Forming around your eyes
Waltz my lover
Tell me that it's alright
Just another
Before you go...go away
Oh my lover
Why don't you just say my name ?

And it's alright
Say it's alright
There's no time

If you saw me
Like i see you
Should I tell you?
What if I do?
I know it lives and does
'Cause I felt so yesterday
But as I live and breathe
It always
Goes away

If I saw you
Like I see me
Have to warn you
Silently
I know it lives
It does 'cause I felt so good today
And always like again
I know it's gonna go away

If I saw me
like I see you
I would love me
What if I do?

Attached somewhere.
At least they're shared.

"this elevator only takes one down", she said,
"this place, this hotel lounge
it's my daily bread...
but i'm underfed"

he asked:
"are you living in the night?
cause i can tell you have a lousy imagination
and as a matter of speaking
i hate this situation...
but it happens to be one of my pickin'"

"cause it's so hard
to keep the dream alive
cause if it all comes down to this
how will..."

you move me, you move me |
you move me around around, i guess |
take it back your analogue |
it's on the other side of this |(x2)

cause if it all comes down to this
how will...

and then she said:
"and have another cigarette"
i tend to forget (but anyway i don't smoke that shit)
i hoisted the flag
but it keeps hanging down

"you know this place, this hotel lounge
it's my life, it's my choice
and i'm in love
with ricky lee jones' voice"

cause it's so hard
to keep the dream alive
and if it all comes down to this
how will...

you move me, you move me |
you move me around around, i guess |
take it back your analogue |
it's on the other side of this |(x5)

how will glamour survive? (x4)

and if it all comes down to this...

"this elevator only takes one down", she said,
"this place in this same old town"

"do you see that man
in the left-hand corner
do you see that woman
their love-story's famous"

You tell me summer's here
And the time is wrong
You tell me winter's here
And your days are getting long

Tears are in your eyes tonight

You tell me that you haven't
Slept in days
You tell me sleeping only makes you tired
Anyway

Tears are in your eyes tonight
Tears are in your eyes every night

Although you don't believe me, you are strong
Darkness always turns into the dawn
And you won't even remember this for long
When it ends alright

Please tell me how you know tomorrow
Staring at your shoes

Tears are in your eyes every night
Tears are in your eyes every night
Tears are in your eyes tonight

I'm in here
Please take me home
Starla dear
I'm all alone

When you can't decide
What's on your mind
It's clear I'm here
Starla dear

To disappear
Takes so much time
Starla dear
You're on my mind

Soon, soon I'll be leaving
Soon, soon I'll be leaving
I hear all you're saying
I hear all you're failing

I'm in here
Please take me home
Starla dear
I'm all alone

When you can't decide
What's on your mind
It's clear I'm here
Starla dear

Serve yourself
No one else can do for you like you
No one else fails like me
In my eyes I burn alive
Fly like a bird
No more words just you and I
High in the sky

While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn
He'll never return it
So when you come back
We'll have to make new love

he's the invisible man
count the bubbles in your hand
the summer sites
and the southern skies

that's all that's left behind
the skies, and a sweet caress
he's the invisible man
catch him if you can

you're no where in site (just imagine that)
nothing excites you (baby that's a fact)
open your eyes
look and you will find

that's all that's left behind...the skies
and a sweet caress
the skies, the sights
and a sweet caress
he's the invisible man
catch him if you can

that's all that's left behind...the skies
and a sweet caress
the skies, the sights
and a sweet caress
he's the invisible man
catch him if you can

I don't need a laser beam
I don't need the time
Leave me in the car tonight
Rest your drunken mind

I need your grace alone

Lesser things are on your mind
Don't you think i know?
Will this poison scar my eyes?
Mother, close the door

I need your grace alone

I don't need a laser beam
I don't need a laser beam
