no matter how hard I try to squeeze my eyes shut so i can't see the pain in you this pain in me - in me
But everything that I can say to you Won't help you - everything you need is right in front of you Just take it
I know that I am really not here to represent what I am not clear About in my head sometimes I feel fucked up just like you do - like you do
But everything that I can say to you Won't help you - everything you need is right in front of you Just take it
Try to make it through the daily pain That you feel - maybe tomorrow won't be so bad. It know it 'cause I once felt that way Nothing I could say Made it go away I lived through this I still feel this I just live for my tomorrow
Make it go away Just make it go away She'll make it go away
I know why you came this time that we've borrowed imagine us now talking tomorrow We're not very big but we're certainly clever to go on together well... what makes sense now? disgraceful... will we ever say no? It's wine that we feel that drives us together this hormonal vision that won't last forever We're old enough now & we should know better to go on together well... what makes sense now disgraceful... will we ever say no? This match that I'm burning two people still looking for something else
If you tell me what you′re thinking You see differences between us It′s the self same thing There′s a pain that you′ve been feeling And you think that i′m ignoring You′re wrong It′s the same thing between us [Chorus] (Ba ba da ba) We are the same (Ba ba da) It′s the self same thing (Ba-ba ba da ba) We are the same (Ba da ba) It′s the self same thing I′m moody in the morning And my friends are very boring, what a shame It′s the self same thing Your conversations tired And i know that you′ve been fired What a shame It′s the same thing between [Chorus] (Ba ba da ba) We are the same (Ba ba da) It′s the self same thing (Ba-ba ba da ba) We are the same (Ba da ba) It′s the self same thing I hope one day, you′ll understand We′ve an equal stake in all we′ve planned So put aside the divide you′ve seen I′m a girl, you′re a boy It′s so simple to see so [Chorus x 3] (Ba ba da ba) We are the same (Ba ba da) It′s the self same thing (Ba-ba ba da ba) We are the same (Ba da ba) It′s the self same thing
Do I fail you Do you scare yourself I know you're not a saint yet Neither am I I guess that time put out the flame Now I don't ever know The meaning of my name How can it be over When it hadn't begun How can it be over It hasn't begun You're free to come now Be alone in the flesh And I won't think of you I'll try to see myself Should I step into the lake Free like mercury The past we must forsake How can it be over When it hadn't begun How can it be over It hasn't begun I write this song for you As a contract for the love And what was true or not Won't compare to the above I'll try and hold my head Should I fall into the sea Free like mercury If only I could be Over what hadn't begun How can it be over It hasn't even begun
I've got you And I'm willing to prove If you want it right now I'll be ready to go 'Cause I'm no one And I've nothing to move I'll just let you right in and pay my world when you lose
Lay here in the sun Let Sarah make it better Your life has just begun And Sarah makes it better
Stay I'll make you better Stay I'll see you right Stay I'll be your father Stay I'll take it tight
I've got you And I'm willing to prove If you need me right now I'm the one that you knew 'Cause I'm no one With a great set of moves I can move it with you and fill your world like you knew
So lay here in the sun And let Daddy make it better Your life has just begun And Sarah makes it better
Stay I'll make you better Stay I'll see you right Stay I'll be your father Stay I'll take it tight
So lay here in the sun And let Daddy make it better Your life has just begun And Sarah makes it better
Stay I'll make you better Stay I'll see you right Stay I'll be your father Stay I'll take it tight
Stay I'll make you better Stay I'll see you right Stay I'll be your father Stay I'll take it tight
So lay here in the sun Lay here in the sun So lay here in the sun Sarah makes it better
Stay I'll make you better Stay I'll see you right Stay I'll make you better Stay I'll see you right
I want to get from this modest thing And I expect some persuading Then I might lose everything Maybe my mind
And I'm coy and embarrassed too And ashamed I'm in love with you And for all I've done to you trying again
My bouncing head it shakes And my feelings are reeling That's when my heart It breaks like your car
Before my sense hits the floor again Better lock up my door again As the hope drowning medicine flows in your arms From the look that you gave to me I could tell there was empathy As my self-spurning chemistry Tries once again
I never said a word About your flirting Your smirking I know this thinking has pulled me apart
Behind the windows of my mind Lurks a fear of womenkind 'Cause I never got valentines Just like all the rest
Just one more reminder Of the liar I admire This kind of blindness Makes sense
But you've scared me with your friends And your fears And tears I'm asking you to lend me your hands
Because I'm dumb I send this message to you It's been so long now Because I'm wrong I sing this message for you For you to know That the plans for the man on the back of your hands Are over, they're over now The plan that we planned with the love of our land Is over, there's only guilt
Believe in me Release Believe in me Escape with me
Believe, indeed, because I wanted you Believe the truth And every word that I said you knew I spoke for you That the plans for the man on the back of your hands Are over, they're over now The plan that we planned with the love of our land Is over, there's only me
Believe in me Release Believe in me Escape from me
Because guilt is the loneliest feeling The plan that we planned with the love of our land Is over, there's only me
Believe in me Release, me Believe in me Escape, with me
Believe in me Release, me Believe in me Escape from me

Day to day Your eyes are cold Living turned to rot Make your way through everything With never time to stop

Is it asking too much to be given time To know these songs and to sing them Is it asking too much of my vacant smile And my laugh and lies that bring them But as the stars are going out And this stage is full of nothing And the friends have all but gone For my life, my God, I′m singing We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out Is it asking too much of my favourite friends To take these songs for real Is it asking too much of my partner′s hands To take these songs for real But as the stars are going out And this stage is full of nothing And the friends have all but gone For my life, my God, I′m singing We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside... We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside Leave our lives behind I′ll watch the stars go out We′ll take our hearts outside, Leave our lives behind, I′ll watch the stars go out I′ll watch the stars go out I′ll watch the stars go out...
If you need somebody around you Well then I'll be the one who's there If you need somebody to listen Well then I'll be the one who's there
But you seem to think you'll manage alone I'll be around and I'll be waiting for your call If you need somebody to love you Well, then I'll be the one who's there Yes, I'll be the one who's there...
In time the stakes will change even persistination couldn't stay I don't mind I don't mind I'll be around anywhere any place you want me I'll be around anywhere any time I'm free In time this place is mine you know the inspiration in my smile I don't mind I don't mind Leave it all behind I don't mind
The wind′s whistling My mind′s twisting I was making myself the usual cup of tea When the doorbell strangely rang Because I′ve been up here for a while I′m starting to feel the monotony of the tower block I′m not so manic now I can uphold the weight of those neighbours And she′s lifting and throwing to the wall The post-natal harmonies of youth When this younger man, twenty-five Advantageously took away her pride The wind′s whistling My mind′s twisting I was making myself the usual cup of tea When the doorbell strangely rang I staggered shaking slowly to the door Through the frosted panel I could see you Your intentions as a salesman truly cush You endeavoured as a psycho just to push And whilst lifting and throwing to the wall My puny structure of an ageing OAP No reason why you chose my flat Breathing deeply in a trance The wind′s whistling My mind′s twisting I was making myself the usual cup of tea When the doorbell strangely rang I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) Because I′ve been up here for a while I′m starting to feel the monotony of the tower block I′m not so manic now I can uphold the weight of those neighbours And she′s lifting and throwing to the wall The post-natal harmonies of youth When this younger man, twenty-five Advantageously took away her pride I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now
