28 days of rain
Flashfloods in Feburary Back in our boats again Bathwater and the baby What am I gonna do? There's been a lot of drinking Looking at ghosts of you While all the world is sinking Ten thousand miles into the atmosphere My body shakes, is there a welcome here? Closest thing to heaven How do you do it? Closest thing to heaven, to heaven Throw your arms 'round the world Make love your destination Here we go, boys and girls Act like a generation Give me that ball and chain By now it must be hurting Dragging your feet again Just like a beast of burden When one and one and one make two I know I'm high because I've captured you Yeah Closest thing to heaven Yes, you Closest thing to heaven, to heaven Look the world right in the eye Eat the countries that are making millions Sweet as homemade apple pie Save the crumbs for all the starving millions Closest thing to heaven Closest thing to heaven How do you do it? Closest thing to heaven Hey Closest thing to heaven |

Fill the sky with love
Fill the sky with love I wouldn't mind but she just turned up on the doorstep Wistfull and ashen, slightly bedraggled Last time I saw her she was howling at the moon Roaming the forest, lupine and rabid Woah, is she wild? Does she see my inner child? But then she knows it's like a curse To find our chosen roles reversed To unify my universe To call me mellow If I was only half my age and she was older We'd live on ice cream on Coney Island And though it's gravity that drags down my balloon She stays in orbit way after midnight Woah, slip and slide - does she go all dewey-eyed? But then she knows it's like a curse To find our chosen roles reversed To unify my universe To call me mellow She'll dress down for us She'll break new ground for us Watching me cracking up She'll hang round fellahs With all the ground swellers Driving me like a truck But then she knows it's like a curse To find our chosen roles reversed To unify my universe To call me mellow |

What you gonna choose the poison or the knife?
Lived with crazy paving all your life Something in her eyes just tells you no Hoping conversation starts to flow Stuck inside a wheel inside a wheel Wondering everyday is it all for real? Aching every time a cold wind blows My love don't fear the mighty rose Tangerine, Tangerine What you gonna do when the old man bleeds you dry Step down from the plane and pluck the eye Slide in deeper closer to the bone Don't you just wish your heart was made of stone Waxing like an old cracked forty-five Counting out the ways you can stay alive Placed in body bags and filled with stones My love won't bleed her waves are foam And when you think it's all over It's not over, it's not over Who killed Tangerine? Prettiest girl I've ever seen And when you think it's all over It's not over, it's not over |

Someone's drinking all alone
Someone's left the TV on I don't suppose, no I don't suppose Someone's sleeping in my bed Someone's let the genie in I don't suppose, no I don't suppose You know who you are Who you are, who you are today Baby's gone and died again Taken by the tide again And it's no surprise She hates goodbyes Someone's folding paper planes Someone's on the line again Someone's crying at the sonnet Someone's hiding from someone I don't suppose, no I don't suppose You know who you are Who you are, who you are today |

Tell me a story of mind over matter
The hope and glory of life ever after The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger Days when we sink like a stone Porcelain portraits and silver medallions Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions Angels of mercy and lifelong companions Days when we sink like a stone There a room somewhere with a different look Where your secret life is an open book Where the love we made was a chance we took Days when we sink like a stone Ladybird fly away our friends are gone Ladybird fly away our house is on fire Let us be lovers we'll melt after midnight Hoist up the mainsail we'll coast through the daylight Twisted like candles that fade in the half-light Days when we sink like a stone Well we die sometimes to begin again When the same old dreams have the same old end When we lose our mind or we lose our friends Days when we sink like a stone Ladybird fly away our friends are gone Ladybird fly away our house is on fire Ladybird fly away our friends are gone Ladybird fly away our house is on fire Your friends have gone Porcelain portraits and silver medallions Your friends have gone Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions Your friends have gone Angels of mercy and lifelong companions Tell me a story of mind over matter The hope and glory of life ever after The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger Ladybird fly away our friends are gone Ladybird fly away our house is on fire |

Tired of this elegant life
With the best will in the world It's a thorn in your side Dazed, not a little confused Let the patient do the work They got nothing to lose I told you I'd hold you 'til the last days on earth Ties that are tested and tried Like the crushing of the waves We'll be lost in the tide Talk away the pain for the very last time Like an echo in a cave Let it die in your mind I told you I'd hold you 'Til the last days on earth If you should fall into these opened arms You would be blessed not just bemused Wake up their mind love is alonely world Where nothing on earth lies like a truth Ties that are tested and tried Like the crushing of the waves We'll be lost in the tide Talk away the pain for the very last time Like an echo in a cave Let it die in our mind I told you I'd hold you 'Til the last days on earth |
