THREE IMAGINARY BOYS  & BOYS DON’T CRY  1978 - 79

KILLING AN ARAB Standing on a beach With a gun in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the
 sand Staring down the barrel At the arab on the ground See his open mouth But hear no sound I'm.
alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab I can turn and walk away Or I can fire the gun Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Whichever I choose It amounts to the same Absolutely nothing I'm alive
 I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab Feel the steel butt jump Smooth in my hand Staring at the
 sea Staring at the sand Staring at myself Reflected in the eyes of The dead man on the beach The
           dead man On the beach I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab

10.15 SATURDAY NIGHT 10.15 Saturday night And the tap drips Under the strip light And I'm
    sitting In the kitchen sink And the tap drips Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip... Waiting For the
telephone to ring And I'm wondering Where she's been And I'm crying for yesterday And the tap drips
                 Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip... It's always the same...

  ACCURACY We sit in the same room Side by side I give you the wrong lines Feed you Look into
 my eyes We both smile I could kill you Without trying That's accuracy Practice all day for accuracy
                           Mirror mirror on the wall...

  GRINDING HALT No light No people No speak No people No cars No people No food No people
  Stopped Short Grinding halt Everything's coming to a grinding halt No sound No people No clocks
 No people No fine No people No me No people Stopped Short Grinding halt Everything's coming to a
      grinding halt Slow down Slow down No people Slow down Everything's coming to a ...

 ANOTHER DAY The sun rises slowly On another day The eastern sky grows cold Winter in water
 colours Shades of grey Something Something holds me hypnotized... I stare at the window Stare at
         the window Waiting for the day to go Winter in water colours Shades of grey

 OBJECT You know you turn me on Eyes so wide and legs so long But don't try to talk to me I won't
  listen to your lies You're just an object in my eyes Sophisticated smile You seduce in such fine
  style But don't try to fool me Because I can see through your disguise You're just an object in my
eyes But I don't mind I just don't care I've got no objection To you touching me... Object object object
 object... You know just what to do Lick your lips And I want you But don't try to hold me Because I
   don't want any ties You're just an object in my eyes But I don't mind I just don't care I've got no
  objections To you touching me... You're just an object Object object object You're just an object

SUBWAY SONG Midnight in the subway She's on her way home She tries hard not to run But she
 feels she's not alone Echoes of footsteps Follow close behind But she dare not turn around... Turn
                                  around...

 MEATHOOK I went into the butchers I said wanted wanted wanted some... Meat Pass me some of
   that steak over there It looks so... Sweet I lost my heart to a meathook! That butcher man was
     some... Lady He really stole my heart He hung me up on his meathook A real piece of...
  Slaughterhouse art I lost my heart to a meathook! There's a meathook in my heart Tearing me all
        apart Ripping out my insides But I just can't get away I can't leave my Meathook

  FIRE IN CAIRO Slowly fading blue The eastern hollows catch The dying sun Night time follows
 Silent and black Mirror pool mirrors The lonely place Where I meet you See your head In the fading
  light And through the dark Your eyes shine bright And burn like fire Burn like fire in Cairo Burn like
 fire Burn like fire in Cairo Shifting crimson veil Silken hips slide Under my hand Swollen lips whisper
  my name And I yearn You take me in your arms And start to burn F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O Then the
  heat disappears And the mirage Fades away... F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O Burn like a fire in Cairo Burn
  like a fire Blaze like a fire in Cairo Blaze like a fire Flare with a wonderful light Like a fire in Cairo
                        Burn like fire Burn like Fire in Cairo

  IT'S NOT YOU You wear your smile Like it was going out of fashion Dress to inflame But douse
   any ideas of passion You carry your love in a trinket Hanging round your throat Always inviting
Always exciting But I must not take off my coat Well I'm tired of hanging around I want someone new
 I'm not sure who I've got in mind But I know It's not you You ask me questions That I never wanted to
 hear I am the only one Just until you finish this year I would murder you If I had an alibi Here in my

 somebody new I'm not sure Who I've got in mind But I know that it's not you It's not you It's not you
                                 It's not you

 THREE IMAGINARY BOYS Walk across the garden In the footsteps of my shadow See the lights
  out No-one's home In amongst the statues Stare at nothing in The garden moves... Can you help
  me? Close my eyes And hold so tightly Scared of what the morning brings Waiting for tomorrow
   Never comes Deep inside The empty feeling All the night time leaves me Three imaginary boys
  Slipping through the door Hear my heart beat in the hallway Echoes Round and round Inside my
  head Drifting up the stairs I see the steps behind me Disappearing... Can you help me? Close my
 eyes And hold so tightly Scared of what the morning brings Waiting for tomorrow Never comes Deep
 inside The empty feeling All the night time leaves me Three imaginary boys sing in my Sleep sweet
child The moon will change your mind... See the cracked reflection Standing still Before the bedroom
   mirror Over my shoulder But no-one's there Whispers in the silence Pressing close behind me
               Pressing close behind Can you help me? Can you help me?

 BOYS DON'T CRY I would say I'm sorry If I thought that it would change your mind But I know that
 this time I have said too much Been too unkind I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try and
  laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes Because boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would break
  down at your feet And beg forgiveness Plead with you But I know that it's too late And now there's
  nothing I can do So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the
 tears in my eyes Because boys don't cry I would tell you That I loved you If I thought that you would
 stay But I know that it's no use That you've already Gone away Misjudged your limit Pushed you too
  far Took you for granted I thought that you needed me more Now I would do most anything To get
  you back by my side But I just keep on laughing Hiding the tears in my eyes Because boys don't
                         cry Boys don't cry Boys don't cry

 PLASTIC PASSION Plastic passion is a hard to handle Plastic passion is a sold out scandal Oh!
 it's a plastic passion Plastic passion is the ladies lover Plastic passion is the marble mother Oh! it's
 a plastic passion Plastic passion is a diamond delight Plastic passion is the nadir of night Oh! it's a
 plastic passion Plastic passion is a hycoscine heart Plastic passion is a transparent tart Oh! it's a
 plastic passion Plastic passion is a gold guarantee This plastic passion is murdering me Oh! it's a
                               plastic passion

  JUMPING SOMEONE ELSE'S TRAIN Don't say what you mean You might spoil your face If
you walk in the crowd You won't leave any trace It's always the same You're jumping someone else's
  train It won't take you long To learn the new smile You have to adapt Or you'll be out of style It's
  always the same You're jumping someone else's train If you pick up on it quick You can say you
 were there Again and again and again You're jumping someone else's train It's the latest wave That
 you've been craving for The old ideal was getting such a bore Now you're back in line Going not quite
  quite as far But in half the time Everyone's happy They're finally all the same Because everyone's
 jumping Everybody else's train Jumping someone else's train Jumping someone else's train Jumping
                             someone else's train

  I'M COLD You're begging me to stay But I'm laughing in your face You're so desperate Not to let
  those years of care All go to waste But it was you who wanted love Not romance You have to pay
the price My body may be made of fire But my soul is made of ice I'm me I'm cold I'm cold I'm told I'd
                  love to love you girl But my body has just been sold

WORLD WAR Dressed in Berlin black I was only playing Disguise my words to fool you From what I
 was saying Mud trench Meat stench The Fatherland is looking on Grip you in a luger lock... This will
 be the big one World war No-one would believe me World war No-one's a winner No-one's a loser...
  Just a dead friend Heaven heaven Give me pride Give me a golden hand Smash them with an iron
  rule Spit them out like sand Sit and wait Then run like hell Run like hell One time again Sow the
 seeds of hate Underneath destruction... World war No-one would believe me World war No-one's a
                     winner No-one's a loser... Just a dead friend

 DO THE HANSA Ein zwei drei vier... Steve! Oh yeah! Platinum all the way! Do the Hansa! Etc etc
                                   etc...

 PILLBOX TALES Electric line Racing time Fire down the wall Spinning around The killing ground It
 makes you look so small Henna years The stinging tears Flesh on the railway track The screaming
queen On the TV screen Is never coming back Don't suffer no more Just step inside and listen Listen
 to my pillbox tales Your special days Your winning ways You're living out the past You're lying lies
 And tying ties And running much too fast But you feel so sick If you run too quick And wishing every
 day Wishing you were all alone Wishing you were years away Don't suffer no more Just step inside
                        and listen Listen to my pillbox tales

 HEROIN FACE Spit out the shout of a warning Death is an honour with doubts So you live in the
  end And you mistrust the start Because you don't think it counts But you'll pay for yourself You'll
   pay for yourself You're just a heroin face You see a heroin face in the mirror And someone is
  clutching your breath And you believe in the needle of night You're only doing your best But you'll
  pay for yourself You'll pay for yourself You believe in the needle of night And someone is clutching
your breath So you mistrust the start By always running away But you'll never come back You're just
                            a heroin face Heroin face

                    SEVENTEEN SECONDS   1980

PLAY FOR TODAY It's not a case of doing what's right It's just the way I feel that matters Tell me
   I'm wrong I don't really care It's not a case of share and share alike I take what I require I don't
   understand... You say it's not fair You expect me to act Like a lover Consider my moves And
  deserve the reward To hold you in my arms And wait... For something to happen It's not a case of
 telling the truth Some lines just fit the situation You call me a liar You would anyway It's not a case
     of aiming to please You know you're always crying It's just your part In the play for today

  SECRETS Secrets Share with another girl Talking all night in a room All night Everything slowing
 down I wish I was yours... Strangers Nobody knows we love I catch your eyes in the dark One look
                 relives the memory Remember me The way I used to be

 IN YOUR HOUSE I play at night in your house I live another life Pretending to swim In your house I
 change the time in your house The hours I take Go so slow... I hear no sound in your house Silence
     In the empty rooms I drown at night in your house Pretending to swim... Three Scream...

  A FOREST Come closer and see See into the trees Find the girl While you can Come closer and
 see See into the dark Just follow your eyes Just follow your eyes I hear her voice Calling my name
  The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees Into the trees Into the
 trees Suddenly I stop But I know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's
           always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again

 M Hello image Sing me a line from your favourite song Twist and turn But you're trapped in the light
 All the directions were wrong You'll fall in love with somebody else Tonight Help yourself But tell me
   the words Before you fade away You reveal all the secrets To remember the end And escape
 someday You'll fall in love with somebody else Again tonight Take a step You move in time But it's
      always back... The reasons are clear Your face is drawn And ready for the next attack

  AT NIGHT Sunk deep in the night I sink in the night Standing alone underneath the sky I feel the
  chill of ice On my face I watch the hours go by The hours go by... You sleep Sleep in a safe bed
  Curled and protected Protected from sight Under a safe roof Deep in your house Unaware of the
 changes at night At night I hear the darkness breathe I sense the quiet despair Listen to the silence
      At night Someone has to be there Someone has to be there Someone must be there

  SEVENTEEN SECONDS Time slips away And the light begins to fade And everything is quiet
  now Feeling is gone And the picture disappears And everything is cold now The dream had to end
The wish never came true And the girl Starts to sing Seventeen seconds A measure of life Seventeen
                                  seconds

                                           FAITH  & SINGLES  1981

THE HOLY HOUR I kneel and wait in silence As one by one the people slip away Into the night
 The quiet and empty bodies Kiss the ground before they pray Kiss the ground And slip away... I sit
  and listen dreamlessly A promise of salvation makes me stay Then look at your face And feel my
 heart pushed in As all around the children play The games they tired of yesterday They play I stand
 and hear my voice Cry out A wordless scream at ancient power It breaks against stone I softly leave
      you crying... I cannot hold what you devour The sacrifice of penance In the holy hour

PRIMARY The innocence of sleeping children Dressed in white And slowly dreaming Stops all time I
  slow my steps and start to blur So many years have filled my heart I never thought I'd say those
 words The further we go And older we grow The more we know The less we show The very first time I
  saw your face I thought of a song And quickly changed the tune The very first time I touched your
 skin I thought of a story And rushed to reach the end Too soon Oh remember Please Don't change
 And so the fall came Thirteen years A shiny ring And how I could forget your name The air no longer
   in my throat Another perfect lie is choked But it always feels the same So they close together
  Dressed in red and yellow Innocent forever Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms Still dream...

  OTHER VOICES Whisper your name in an empty room You brush past my skin As soft as fur
 Taking hold I taste your scent Distant noises Other voices Pounding in my broken head Commit the
  sin Commit yourself And all the other voices said Change your mind You're always wrong Come
 around at Christmas I really have to see you Smile at me slyly Another festive compromise But I live
  with desertion And eight million people Distant noises Other voices Pulsing in my swinging arms
  Caress the sound So many dead And all the other voices said Change your mind You're always
                                   wrong

   ALL CATS ARE GREY I never thought that I would find myself In bed amongst the stones The
 columns are all men Begging to crush me No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes And no flags wave
  me home In the caves All cats are grey In the caves The textures coat my skin In the death cell A
                       single note Rings on and on and on...

 THE FUNERAL PARTY Two pale figures Ache in silence Timeless In the quiet ground Side by side
  In age and sadness I watched And acted wordlessly As piece by piece You performed your story
  Moving through an unknown past Dancing at the funeral party Memories of childrens' dreams Lie
  lifeless Fading Lifeless Hand in hand with fear and shadows Crying at the funeral party I heard a
  song And turned away As piece by piece You performed your story Noiselessly across the floor
                           Dancing at the funeral party

   DOUBT Stop my flight to fight And die And take a stand to change my life So savage with red
 desperation I clench my hands You draw your claws A hidden rage consumes my heart As fuelled
 by years of wasted time I close my eyes And tense myself And screaming Throw myself in fury over
  the edge And into your blood Tear at flesh And rip at skin And smash at doubt I have to break you
 Fury drives my vicious blows I see you fall but still I strike you Again and again Your body falls The
 movement is sharp and clear and pure And gone I stop and kneel beside you Drained of everything
  but pain Screaming throw myself in fury Over the edge and into your blood Kiss you once and see
 you writhe Hold you close and hear you cry Kiss your eyes and finish your life Finish your life Again
  and again Your body falls The movement is sharp and clear and pure And gone I stop and kneel
                   beside you Knowing I'll murder you again tonight

  THE DROWNING MAN She stands twelve feet above the flood She stares Alone Across the
   water The loneliness grows and slowly Fills her frozen body Sliding downwards One by one her
  senses die The memories fade And leave her eyes Still seeing worlds that never were And one by
  one the bright birds leave her... Starting at the violent sound She tries to turn But final Noiseless
  Slips and strikes her soft dark head The water bows Receives her And drowns her at its ease... I
 would have left the world all bleeding Could I only help you love The fleeting shapes So many years
  ago So young and beautiful and brave Everything was true It couldn't be a story... I wish it was all
  true I wish it couldn't be a story The words all left me Lifeless Hoping Breathing like the drowning
  man Oh Fucshia! You leave me Breathing like the drowning man Breathing like the drowning man

 FAITH Catch me if I fall I'm losing hold I can't just carry on this way And every time I turn away Lose
 another blind game The idea of perfection holds me... Suddenly I see you change Everything at once
 The same But the mountain never moves... Rape me like a child Christened in blood Painted like an
 unknown saint There's nothing left but hope... Your voice is dead And old And always empty Trust in
 me through closing years Perfect moments wait... If only we could stay Please Say the right words
 Or cry like the stone white clown And stand Lost forever in a happy crowd... No-one lifts their hands
 No-one lifts their eyes Justified with empty words The party just gets better and better... I went away
                         alone With nothing left But faith

  CHARLOTTE SOMETIMES All the faces All the voices blur Change to one face Change to one
  voice Prepare yourself for bed The light seems bright And glares on white walls All the sounds of
 Charlotte sometimes Into the night with Charlotte sometimes Night after night she lay alone in bed
   Her eyes so open to the dark The streets all looked so strange They seemed so far away But
   Charlotte did not cry The people seemed so close Playing expressionless games The people
  seemed So close So many Other names... Sometimes I'm dreaming Where all the other people
 dance Sometimes I'm dreaming Charlotte sometimes Sometimes I'm dreaming Expressionless the
 trance Sometimes I'm dreaming So many different names Sometimes I'm dreaming The sounds all
  stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming She hopes to open shadowed eyes On a different world
 Come to me Scared princess Charlotte sometimes On that bleak track (See the sun is gone again)
 The tears were pouring down her face She was crying and crying for a girl Who died so many years
   before... Sometimes I dream Where all the other people dance Sometimes I dream Charlotte
 sometimes Sometimes I dream The sounds all stay the same Sometimes I'm dreaming There are so
  many different names Sometimes I dream Sometimes I dream... Charlotte sometimes crying for
  herself Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself But it's always with love With so much
   love it looks like Everything else Of Charlotte sometimes So far away Glass sealed and pretty
                             Charlotte sometimes

  SPLINTERED IN HER HEAD Shape is still Asleep With the toys As tall as men The pictures in
  the hallway Turning inside Whispers Unseen Jumping against the sky Slipping away He looks For
                               the last time...

                        PORNOGRAPHY  1982

  ONE HUNDRED YEARS It doesn't matter if we all die Ambition in the back of a black car In a
 high building there is so much to do Going home time A story on the radio... Something small falls
 out of your mouth And we laugh A prayer for something better A prayer For something better Please
 love me Meet my mother... But the fear takes hold Creeping up the stairs in the dark Waiting for the
 death blow Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot Fighting for freedom on the television Sharing
 the world with slaughtered pigs Have we got everything? She struggles to get away... The pain And
 the creeping feeling A little black haired girl Waiting for Saturday The death of her father pushing her
  Pushing her white face into the mirror Aching inside me And turn me round Just like the old days
 Just like the old days Caressing an old man And painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat in
 a clean room The soldiers close in under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance Under a black
 flag A hundred years of blood Crimson The ribbon tightens round my throat I open my mouth And my
head bursts open A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water Thrashing in the water Over and over We
   die one after the other Over and over We die one after the other after the other... It feels like a
                        hundred years One hundred years...

  A SHORT TERM EFFECT Movement No movement Just a falling bird Cold as it hits the bleeding
  ground He lived and died... Catch sight Cover me with earth Draped in black Static White sound A
 day without substance A change of thought An atmosphere that rots with time Colours that flicker in
  water A short term effect Scream! As she tries to push him over Helpless and sick With teeth of
  madness Jump jump dance and sing Sideways across the desert A charcoal face Bites my hand
 Time is sweet Derange and disengage everything A day without substance A change of thought The
 atmosphere rots with time Colours that flicker in water A short term effect An echo And a stranger's
          hand A short term effect An echo And a stranger's hand A short term effect

  THE HANGING GARDEN Creatures kissing in the rain Shapeless in the dark again In the
  hanging garden Please don't speak In the hanging garden No one sleeps Catching haloes on the
 moon Gives my hands the shapes of angels In the heat of the night The animals scream In the heat
 of the night Walking into a dream... Fall fall fall fall Into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall
 fall Out of the sky Cover my face as the animals cry In the hanging garden Creatures kissing in the
 rain Shapeless in the dark again In a hanging garden Change the past In a hanging garden Wearing
 furs and masks... Fall fall fall fall Into the walls Jump jump out of time Fall fall fall fall Out of the sky
         Cover my face as the animals die In the hanging garden In the hanging garden

 SIAMESE TWINS I chose an eternity of this Like falling angels The world disappeared Laughing
  into the fire Is it always like this? Flesh and blood and the first kiss The first colours The first kiss
  We writhed under a red light Voodoo smile Siamese twins A girl at the window looks at me for an
 hour Then everything falls apart Broken inside me It falls apart The walls and the ceiling move in time
 Push a blade into my hands Slowly up the stairs And into the room Is it always like this? Dancing in
 my pocket Worms eat my skin She glows and grows With arms outstretched Her legs around me...
  In the morning I cried Leave me to die You won't remember my voice I walked away and grew old
 You never talk We never smile I scream You're nothing I don't need you any more You're nothing It
  fades and spins Fades and spins... Sing out loud We all die!!! Laughing into the fire... Is it always
                                 like this?

 THE FIGUREHEAD Sharp and open Leave me alone And sleeping less every night As the days
  become heavier and weighted Waiting In the cold light A noise A scream tears my clothes as the
  figurines tighten With spiders inside them And dust on the lips of a vision of hell I laughed in the
 mirror for the first time in a year A hundred other words blind me with your purity Like an old painted
  doll in the throes of dance I think about tomorrow Please let me sleep As I slip down the window
  Freshly squashed fly You mean nothing You mean nothing I can lose myself in Chinese art and
 American girls All the time Lose me in the dark Please do it right Run into the night I will lose myself
 tomorrow Crimson pain My heart explodes My memory in a fire And someone will listen At least for
 a short while... I can never say no to anyone but you Too many secrets Too many lies Writhing with
    hatred Too many secrets Please make it good tonight... But the same image haunts me In
 sequence In despair of time I will never be clean again I touched her eyes Pressed my stained face I
will never be clean again Touch her eyes Press my stained face I will never be clean again I will never
                               be clean again

 A STRANGE DAY Give me your eyes That I might see the blind man kissing my hands The sun is
 humming My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees And the sand And the sea grows I close
 my eyes Move slowly through drowning waves Going away on a strange day And I laugh as I drift in
  the wind Blind Dancing on a beach of stone Cherish the faces as they wait for the end A sudden
  hush across the water And we're here again... And the sand And the sea grows I close my eyes
  Move slowly through drowning waves Going away On a strange day My head falls backs And the
 walls crash down And the sky And the impossible Explode Held for one moment I remember a song
           An impression of sound Then everything is gone Forever A strange day...

  COLD Scarred Your back was turned Curled like an embryo Take another face You will be kissed
 again I was cold as I mouthed the words And crawled across the mirror I wait Await the next breath
Your name Like ice into my heart A shallow grave A monument to the ruined age Ice in my eyes And
eyes like ice don't move Screaming at the moon Another past time Your name Like ice into my heart
  Everything as cold as life Can no-one save you? Everything As cold as silence And you will never
                     say a word Your name Like ice into my heart

 PORNOGRAPHY A hand in my mouth A life spills into the flowers We all look so perfect As we all
 fall down In an electric glare The old man cracks with age She found his last picture In the ashes of
 the fire An image of the queen Echoes round the sweating bed Sour yellow sounds inside my head
 In books And films And in life And in heaven The sound of slaughter As your body turns But it's too
 late One more day like today and I'll kill you A desire for flesh And real blood I'll watch you drown in
  the shower Pushing my life through your open eyes I must fight this sickness Find a cure I must
                             fight this sickness...

                              JAPANESE WHISPERS  & SINGLES 1982 - 83

LET'S GO TO BED Let me take your hand I'm shaking like milk Turning Turning blue All over the
 windows and the floors Fires outside in the sky Look as perfect as cats The two of us together again
  But it's just the same A stupid game But I don't care if you don't And I don't feel if you don't And I
 don't want it if you don't And I won't say it If you don't say it first You think you're tired now But wait
 until three... Laughing at the Christmas lights You remember From December All of this then back
 again Another girl Another name Stay alive but stay the same It's just the same A stupid game But I
 don't care if you don't And I don't feel if you don't And I don't want it if you don't And I won't play it If
 you don't play it first You can't even see now So you ask me the way You wonder if it's real Because
  it couldn't be rain... Through the right doorway And into the white room It used to be the dust that
 would lay here When I came here alone But I don't care if you don't And I don't feel if you don't And I
  don't want it if you don't And I won't say it If you don't say it first Doo doo doo doo Let's go to bed!
                         Doo doo doo doo Let's go to bed!

  JUST ONE KISS Remember the time that you rained all night The queen of Siam in my arms
 Remember the time that the islands sank But nobody opened their eyes Remember that time that
  the trees fell down The wood crashing through the wall Remember the sound that could wake the
 dead But nobody woke up at all Somebody died for this Somebody died for just one kiss Remember
  the time that the sky went black We waited alone on the sands Remember the taste of the raging
 sea But nobody held out their hands Somebody died for this Somebody died For just one kiss Just
                             one kiss Just one kiss

   THE WALK I called you after midnight Then ran until I burst I passed the howling woman And
 stood outside your door We walked around a lake And woke up in the rain And everyone turned over
 Troubled in their dreams again Visiting time is over And so we walk away And both play dead then
  cry out loud Why we always cry this way? I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I
   saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything... I called you after
  midnight Then ran until my heart burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door I
  kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an
                        instant I remembered everything...

THE DREAM You're too far away Too far away to touch And this mother's love inside me Hurts too
  much Prettily waving Playing on the sand Dreaming of everything Dancing Dancing in our hands
  Dancing Dancing Dizzy dizzy dizzy As I speak Like a tumbling cat I watch in fascination Like a
 vampire bat Don't do it don't do it Don't do it don't do it Don't give it away We'll use it up tomorrow If
 we don't use it today Rest your head Oh! just put it outside All wrapped up in ribbons The night The
   dream The time love died We pushed it in our mouths Pushed it deep inside All wrapped up in
                   ribbons The night The dream The time Love died

  LAMENT Today there was a tragedy Underneath the bridge A man walked Cold and blue Into La
    Ment The sky coloured perfect As the man slipped away Waving with a last vanilla smile...
 Somewhere at a table Two drowned fools Smoking Drinking water as they talked Of how they loved
 our lady And oh! the smell as candles die... One more ice cream river body Flowed underneath the
                          bridge Underneath the bridge

 THE UPSTAIRS ROOM I love it all These games we play I close my eyes You run away I'm sure
 I asked you to stay But now you're gone And so I feel the grey Pulse in my head I turn off the lights
 and crawl into bed I try to think of sunshine But my body goes wet With the first crash of thunder... I
 don't think I can know Anyone but you dear That's for sure! When it gets to four It's my turn to go Oh
 the kiss! So alcoholic and slow Arranging me for Saturday I thought you would know That I always
 sleep alone... I don't think I can know Anyone but you Dear That's for sure! The upstairs room is cool
   and bright We can go up there in summer And dance all night... Your sister started talking at a
 minute after ten So everyone jumped up And then fell over again In April you can join them And stare
                        at me At the ghost from your past...

THE LOVECATS We move like cagey tigers We couldn't get closer than this The way we walk The
 way we talk The way we stalk The way we kiss We slip through the streets While everyone sleeps
 Getting bigger and sleeker And wider and brighter We bite and scratch and scream all night Let's go
  and throw All the songs we know... Into the sea You and me All these years and no one heard I'll
 show you in spring It's a treacherous thing We missed you hissed the lovecats We're so wonderfully
  wonderfully wonderfully Wonderfully pretty! Oh you know that I'd do anything for you... We should
  have each other to tea huh? We should have each other with cream Then curl up by the fire And
sleep for awhile It's the grooviest thing It's the perfect dream Into the sea You and me All these years
 and no one heard I'll show you in spring It's a treacherous thing We missed you hissed the lovecats
 We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully Wonderfully pretty! Oh you know that I'd do anything for
 you... We should have each other to dinner huh? We should have each other with cream Then curl
 up in the fire Get up for awhile It's the grooviest thing It's the perfect dream Hand in hand Is the only
  way to land And always the right way round Not broken in pieces Like hated little meeces... How
 could we miss Someone as dumb as this? I love you... let's go... Oh... solid gone... How could we
                         miss Someone as dumb as this?

 SPEAK MY LANGUAGE It was only yesterday Waving arms across the street Your white face
 left me blue... How can I say all the things I have to say to you? Oh! all the people here All look the
 same... The little time I spend with you We drink each other dry Mammnnarghaassstmmetc! Speak
 my language! It was only yesterday My eyes touched yours across the street We cut the words And
   waved goodbye And dropped off the edge of the world Mammnnarghaassstmmetc! Speak my
                                 language!

 MR. PINK EYES You look so cool Oh I don't think! Just fall over Be like me Mr. Pink Eyes Your
 mind is blank And mine's away Oh you can't see You can't smell Mr. Pink Eyes It's got to be jazz!
 That's what she wants You are so vile Mr. Pink Eyes Oh give me a look Give me a look Or sit on my
                      head Or jump on my foot Do something!

  NEW DAY New day In heaven the ground is waiting For the dust The seed My love once more I
 shout New day Hold the air and gasp in life This solid dance This cold cold night Is gone... The dark
  heat throbs The fools' sweat swims The hazy lights The deadly sins Are gone... Crack the stone
  Invade my head Dropping honey dropping dead again The silence shouts Across the gap Another
                         dreaming Love me again Shout...

 WAILING WALL The holy city breathed Like a dying man It moved with hopeful tears With the tears

THE EXPLODING BOY I couldn't hear a word you said I couldn't hear at all You talked until your
tongue fell out And then you talked some more I knew if I turned I'd turn away from you And I couldn't
  look back Tell yourself we'll start again Tell yourself it's not the end Tell yourself it couldn't happen
                            Not this way Not today

 A FEW HOURS AFTER THIS... The look before I go Is the look for you You only have to look and
 it will all come true And we can fall outside Into the fizzy night Or pull me down in here You know it's
  all the same I only want to see if you are happy again Or we can roll around And find out upside
  down A few hours after this and we're apart again Like two white checks Like opposite poles In a
  secret game (Like nothing like these I suppose... ) I really should have known by the cut of your
smile That the answer would be simple It still took you a while to get it out of me I thought you'd do it
 easily Just put your hands around my heart And squeeze me until I'm dry I never thought you'd ever
                   start to ever ask me why... I never saw you again

 INBETWEEN DAYS Yesterday I got so old I felt like I could die Yesterday I got so old It made me

 couldn't be me and be her Inbetween without you Without you Yesterday I got so scared I shivered
  like a child Yesterday away from you It froze me deep inside Come back come back Don't walk
 away Come back come back Come back today Come back come back Why can't you see? Come
 back come back Come back to me And I know I was wrong When I said it was true That it couldn't

 KYOTO SONG A nightmare of you Of death in the pool Wakes me up at quarter to three I'm lying
  on the floor of the night before With a stranger lying next to me A nightmare of you Of death in the
 pool I see no further now than this dream The trembling hands of the trembling man Hold my mouth
 To hold in a scream I try to think To make it slow If only here is where I go If this is real I have to see
  I turn on fire And next to me... It looks good! It tastes like nothing on earth It looks good! It tastes
 like nothing on earth Its so smooth it even feels like skin It tells me how it feels to be new It tells me
 how it feels to be new A thousand voices whisper it true It tells me how it feels to be new And every

  THE BLOOD Tell me who doesn't love What can never come back You can never forget how it
 used to feel The illusion is deep It's as deep as the night I can tell by your tears you remember it all I
am paralysed by the Blood of Christ Though it clouds my eyes I can never stop How it feels to be dry
 Walking bare in the sun Every mirage I see is a mirage of you As I cool in the twilight Taste the salt
 on my skin I recall all the tears All the broken words I am paralysed by the Blood of Christ Though it
 clouds my eyes I can never stop When the sunset's glow drifts away from you You'll no longer know
                        If any of this was really true at all...

  SIX DIFFERENT WAYS This is stranger than I thought Six different ways inside my heart And

  my hands and head This time they're much too slow Six sides to every lie I say It's that American
 voice again "It was never quite like this before Not one of you is the same... " This is stranger than I
 thought Six different ways inside my heart And everyone I'll keep tonight Six different ways go deep
                                   inside

 PUSH Go go go! Push him away No no no! Don't let him stay... He gets inside to stare at her The

 CLOSE TO ME I've waited hours for this I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I
  never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be This close to me Just try to
 see in the dark Just try to make it work To feel the fear before you're here I make the shapes come
  much too close I pull my eyes out Hold my breath And wait until I shake... But if I had your faith
  Then I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream I've
 waited hours for this I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought this day

   all night A witch hunt for another girl For always and ever is always for you Your trust The most
  gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world Say hello on a day like today Say it everytime you
 move The way that you look at me now Makes me wish I was you It goes deep It goes deeper still
 This touch And the smile and the shake of your head... I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
 Can't stand here like this anymore For always and ever is always for you I want it to be perfect Like

  SCREW When you screw up your eyes When you screw up your face When you throw out your
 arms And keep changing your shape Taste the taste in your mouth Taste the taste on your tongue
 On the film on your eyes of what I've become What do I do when you screw up your eyes? What do I
 do when you screw up your face? What do I do When you throw out your arms Fall on the floor And
 keep changing your shape? Jump right into your mouth? Jump around on your tongue? And the film
  on your eyes of the way I've become Makes me sick at the way that I try Anything in the world To
                       impress that I'm doing this Only for you

 SINKING I am slowing down As the years go by I am sinking So I trick myself Like everybody else

 A MAN INSIDE MY MOUTH I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating I was wrapped up in
 a blanket I was grey Damp and sore The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic (Like
  I think I'm at the racing Like the night before) I remember one girl standing One was sitting on the
 ground One was holding me up The other pulling me down And I couldn't decide which one was real
 Because there wasn't a sound (Like I was pregnant again... ) "Don't move don't blink don't think don't
 even breathe" she said "Or the photograph will spoil And cut you off at the head" So I was sucking I
 was sucking like a fat lady would But I couldn't hold it down another second (Bleagh!) "Don't twitch
  don't shout don't think don't even breathe" she said "Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at
 the head" So I was sweating I was sweating like a fat lady would... And I woke up With a man inside
                        my mouth (This won't hurt at all...

 STOP DEAD Let me forget Let me forget Or let me go Let me go I'll keep it quiet as a whisper I'll
  keep it low low low... Never! The biggest word I ever heard Stop dead Stop dead You're getting too
   close... Before you even opened your eyes I moved about a million ways I killed about a million
people And filled about half a day Before you even opened your eyes You had to have to ask me who
 I love it... I mean you... My face was in your hands You looked into my eyes You said I tasted right
                            And swallowed me alive

 CATCH Yeah I know who you remind me of A girl I think I used to know Yeah I'd see her when the
 days got colder On those days when it felt like snow You know I even think that she stared like you
  She used to just stand there and stare And roll her eyes right up to heaven And make like I just
 wasn't there And she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling Again and again And I used
 to sometimes try to catch her But never even caught her name And sometimes we would spend the
 night Just rolling about on the floor And I remember even though it felt soft at the time I always used
 to wake up sore... You know I even think that she smiled like you She used to just stand there and
 smile And her eyes would go all sort of far away And stay like that for quite a while And I remember
 she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling Again and again And I used to sometimes try
  to catch her But never even caught her name Yeah I sometimes even tried to catch her But never
                             even caught her name

 TORTURE I'm in the room without a light The room without a view I'm here for one more treacherous

  skin so tight it screams And screams and screams And pulls some more Hanging like this Like a
vampire bat Hanging like this Hanging on your back I'm helpless again My body is cut and broken It's
 shattered and sore My body is cut wide open I can't stand anymore It tortures me to move my hands
    To try to move at all And pulled My skin so tight it screams And screams and screams And
screams for more Hanging like this Like a vampire bat Hanging like this Hanging on your back Oh it's
   torture And I'm almost there It's torture But I'm almost there It's torture But I'm almost there It's

 IF ONLY TONIGHT WE COULD SLEEP If only tonight we could sleep In a bed made of flowers If
 only tonight we could fall In a deathless spell If only tonight we could slide Into deep black water And
 breathe And breathe... Then an angel would come With burning eyes like stars And bury us deep In
 his velvet arms And the rain would cry As our faces slipped away And the rain would cry Don't let it
                                   end...

  THE SNAKEPIT Well we're a mile under the ground And I'm thinking that it's Christmas And I'm
   kissing you hard Like I've got very important business And no-one knows And no-one sees us
 Because they're drinking their selves senseless And I'm writhing And I'm writhing And I'm writhing in
the snakepit Well I'm out in a car And it's just full of stupid girls And I've forgotten how to speak And I
  just can't remember a word And my eyes feel like they're bursting And they're splitting like plums
             And I'm writhing And I'm writhing And I'm writhing in the snake pit

 HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE... You want to know why I hate you? Well I'll try and explain... You
  remember that day in Paris When we wandered through the rain And promised to each other That
 we'd always think the same And dreamed that dream To be two souls as one And stopped just as
   the sun set And waited for the night Outside a glittering building Of glittering glass and burning
light... And in the road before us Stood a weary greyish man Who held a child upon his back A small
 boy by the hand The three of them were dressed in rags And thinner than air And all six eyes stared
  fixedly on you The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!" The boy's eyes said "How
 beautiful! She shimmers like a star!" The child's eyes uttered nothing But a mute and utter joy And
 filled my heart with shame for us At the way we are I turned to look at you To read my thought upon
 your face And gazed so deep into your eyes So beautiful and strange Until you spoke And showed
me understanding is a dream "I hate these people staring Make them go away from me!" The father's
 eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!" The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She glitters like a
 star!" The child's eyes uttered nothing But quiet and utter joy And stilled my heart with sadness For
 the way we are... And this is why I hate you And how I understand That no-one ever knows or loves
                            another Or loves another

  HEY YOU!!! Hey you! Yes you... Yes you the one that looks like Christmas... Come over here
 and kiss me Kiss me!!! Hey you! Yes you... Yes you the one that looks delirious... Come over here
                            and kiss me Kiss me!!!

 JUST LIKE HEAVEN "Show me how you do that trick The one that makes me scream" she said
 "The one that makes me laugh" she said And threw her arms around my neck "Show me how you
 do it and I promise you I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you" Spinning on that
  dizzy edge I kissed her face and kissed her head And dreamed of all the different ways I had To
 make her glow "Why are you so far away?" she said "Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with
   you? That I'm in love with you?" You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Strange as angels
 Dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water You're just like a dream... Daylight licked me
  into shape I must have been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my
  eyes And found myself alone Alone Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And
    drowned her deep inside of me You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Just like heaven

 ALL I WANT Tonight I'm feeling like an animal Tonight I'm howling inside Tonight I'm feeling like an

 screaming like an animal Tonight I'm losing control Tonight I'm screaming like an animal Tonight I'm
 getting so low And all I want is to be with you again And all I want is to hold you like a dog And all I
     want is to be with you again With you again Just to hold you like a dog That's all I want

 LIKE COCKATOOS She walked out of her house And looked around At all the gardens that looked
   Back at her house (Like all the faces That quiz when you smile... ) And he was standing At the
  corner Where the road turned dark A part of shiny wet Like blood the rain fell Black down on the
  street And kissed his feet she fell Her head an inch away from heaven And her face pressed tight
  And all around the night sang out Like cockatoos "There are a thousand things" he said "I'll never
  say those things to you again" And turning on his heel He left a trace of bubbles Bleeding in his
  stead And in her head A picture of a boy who left her Lonely in the rain (And all around the night
                            sang out Like cockatoos)

  SHIVER AND SHAKE  You're just a waste of time You're just a babbling face You're just three

  useless and ugly And useless and ugly And I shiver and shake When I think of how you make me
  hate I want to smash you to pieces I want to smash you up and screaming I want to smash you
 helpless Down on the floor Smash you until you're not here anymore And I shiver and shake Shiver
                                 and shake

 FIGHT Sometimes there's nothing to feel Sometimes there's nothing to hold Sometimes there's no
 time to run away Sometimes you just feel so old The times it hurts when you cry The times it hurts
 just to breathe And then it seems like there's no-one left And all you want is to sleep Fight fight fight
  Just push it away Fight fight fight Just push it until it breaks Fight fight fight Don't cry at the pain
 Fight fight fight Or watch yourself burn again Fight fight fight Don't howl like a dog Fight fight Just fill
  up the sky Fight fight fight Fight til you drop Fight fight fight And never never Never stop Fight fight

  A JAPANESE DREAM I'm going back to the land of the blind Back to the land where the sun
  never shines I'm going back there and I'm hoping to find Everything just as it was before I left it all
 behind I slept at nights there hysterically Twisted and turned But I just couldn't get free Opened my
eyes But I still couldn't see But I could feel her... China white girl So I get down on the floor Like I am
 worshipping God Burning like a monkey I get down on the floor Like I am praying to the Lord Burning
  like a monkey Mmmmmm... That was a Japanese dream alright The sound of the storm And the
 flickering light And the way that her scent used to fill up the night like... Like her scent used to fill up
 the night So I get down on the floor Like I am worshipping God Burning like a monkey I get down on
  the floor Like I am praying to the Lord Burning like a monkey Just look at me now Just look at me
  this way It looks like I am quite insane It looks like I am trying to eat off my face It looks like I'm
  going to the land of the blind anyway... Back where the sun never shines Back to the land of the
                         blind Back in a Japanese dream

 BREATHE Breathe Breathe on me Be like you used to be Breathe on me Move in me Be like you

 A CHAIN OF FLOWERS Please wake up It's so dark and cold Please wake up I feel so alone And
  I feel so scared That you're going away And I feel so scared... All I want is summer Stories from
before Just like the day you tried to hide Behind the churchyard wall And fell asleep before I came... I
  found you In a chain of flowers Sleeping like a marble girl Sleeping in another world... I'll never tell
                 you Of all the different ways You make me so afraid...

 SNOW IN SUMMER High up on this mountain The whole world looks so small And all the rivers
 Run away Slipping in your deep green heart I drink you as I swim And I'm sliding And I'm sliding with
you Slide beneath my skin Sleek and deep And salty sweet You open up in me Just like the snow in
   summer High up on this mountain The whole world looks so small And all the rivers Run away
  Slipping in your soft white heart I drink you as I swim And I'm falling And I'm falling with you Fall
 beneath my skin Sleek and deep And salty sweet You come And close in me Just like the snow in
              summer Just like the snow in summer As it melts Into the sea

 SUGAR GIRL Oh I wish I could find it funny You laughing like that But instead I change into a rage
 And run around Without a face... I wish I could find it funny When you never came back But I don't
       suppose I'll ever know The how to keep you Goodbye sugar girl Goodbye sugar girl

 TO THE SKY One perfect morning I was all alone Listening to the blaze of summer Drifting I was
  falling I was floating in a golden haze Breathing in the sky blue sounds Of memories of other days
 And in my dreams I was a child Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes And I was floating through the
 colours of a sky Up to the stars and angels Up up up to heaven Up up up forever Up up up to heaven
 Up up up forever Turning in my climb I looked down on a lake And traced upon the water there I saw
 your face And sang in recollection Of the times we shared... Then pushed on ever upward To the sky
 And in my dreams I was a child Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes And I was floating through the
 colours of a sky Up to the stars and angels Up up up to heaven Up up up forever Up up up to heaven
                               Up up up forever

PLAINSONG "I think it's dark and it looks like rain" You said "And the wind is blowing like it's the
 end of the world" You said "And it's so cold It's like the cold if you were dead" And then you smiled
 For a second "I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain" You said "And it's all running out like it's the end of
 the world" You said "And it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead" And then you smiled For a
  second Sometimes you make me feel Like I'm living at the edge of the world Like I'm living at the
                  edge of the world "It's just the way I smile" You said

  THE SAME DEEP WATER AS YOU Kiss me goodbye Pushing out before I sleep Can't you
  see I try Swimming the same deep water as you is hard "The shallow drowned lose less than we"
You breathe The strangest twist upon your lips "And we shall be together... " "Kiss me goodbye Bow
 your head and join with me" And face pushed deep Reflections meet The strangest twist upon your
  lips And disappear The ripples clear And laughing Break against your feet And laughing Break the
  mirror sweet "So we shall be together... " "Kiss me goodbye" Pushing out before I sleep It's lower
  now and slower now The strangest twist upon your lips But I don't see And I don't feel But tightly
  hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes Your smile The very last thing
 before I go... Iwill kiss you I will kiss you I will kiss you forever on nights like this I will kiss you I will
                        kiss you And we shall be together...

 CLOSEDOWN I'm running out of time I'm out of step and Closing down and Never sleep for wanting
   hours The empty hours of greed And uselessly Always the need To feel again the real belief Of
             something more than mockery If only I could Fill my heart with love

  LOVESONG Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am home again Whenever I'm

 LULLABY On candystripe legs the spiderman comes Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
 Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead Looking for the victim shivering in bed Searching out
   fear in the gathering gloom and Suddenly! A movement in the corner of the room! And there is
 nothing I can do When I realise with fright That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight! Quietly
  he laughs and shaking his head Creeps closer now Closer to the foot of the bed And softer than
  shadow and quicker than flies His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes "Be still be
 calm be quiet now my precious boy Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more For it's much
 too late to get away or turn on the light The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight" And I feel like
 I'm being eaten By a thousand million shivering furry holes And I know that in the morning I will wake
              up In the shivering cold And the spiderman is always hungry...

    FASCINATION STREET Oh it's opening time Down on Fascination Street So let's cut the
 conversation And get out for a bit Because I feel it all fading and paling And I'm begging To drag you
down with me To kick the last nail in Yeah! I like you in that Like I like you to scream But if you open
  your mouth Then I can't be responsible For quite what goes in Or to care what comes out So just
 pull on your hair Just pull on your pout And let's move to the beat Like we know that it's over If you
  slip going under Slip over my shoulder So just pull on your face Just pull on your feet And let's hit
 opening time Down on Fascination Street So pull on your hair Pull on your pout Cut the conversation
    Just open your mouth Pull on your face Pull on your feet And let's hit opening time Down on
                              Fascination Street

  PRAYERS FOR RAIN You shatter me Your grip on me A hold on me So dull it kills You stifle me
   Infectious sense Of hopelessness and Prayers for rain I suffocate I breathe in dirt And nowhere
  shines But desolate And drab the hours all spent On killing time again All waiting for The rain You
  fracture me Your hands on me A touch so plain So stale it kills You strangle me Entangle me In
 hopelessness and Prayers for rain I deteriorate I live in dirt And nowhere glows But drearily and tired
              The hours all spent On killing time again All waiting for The rain

  PICTURES OF YOU I've been looking so long at these pictures of you That I almost believe that
 they're real I've been living so long with my pictures of you That I almost believe that the pictures are
  All I can feel Remembering You standing quiet in the rain As I ran to your heart to be near And we
 kissed as the sky fell in Holding you close How I always held close in your fear Remembering You
  running soft through the night You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow And screamed at
    the make-believe Screamed at the sky And you finally found all your courage To let it all go
  Remembering You fallen into my arms Crying for the death of your heart You were stone white So
 delicate Lost in the cold You were always so lost in the dark Remembering You how you used to be
 Slow drowned You were angels So much more than everything Hold for the last time then slip away
 quietly Open my eyes But I never see anything If only I'd thought of the right words I could have held
  on to your heart If only I'd thought of the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart All my pictures of
 you Looking so long at these pictures of you But I never hold on to your heart Looking so long for the
  words to be true But always just breaking apart My pictures of you There was nothing in the world
 That I ever wanted more Than to feel you deep in my heart There was nothing in the world That I ever
           wanted more Than to never feel the breaking apart All my pictures of you

  DISINTEGRATION Oh I miss the kiss of treachery The shameless kiss of vanity The soft and the
  black and the velvety Up tight against the side of me And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed And
 run in thickening streams of greed As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go My party piece Oh I
 miss the kiss of treachery The aching kiss before I feed The stench of a love for a younger meat And
   the sound that it makes When it cuts in deep The holding up on bended knees The addiction of
 duplicities As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go My party piece But I never said I would stay
 to the end So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency Screaming like this in the hope of the
   secrecy Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs Pictures of trickery
 Stains on the carpet and Stains on the scenery Songs about happiness murmured in dreams When
  we both us knew How the ending would be... So it's all come back round to breaking apart again
Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again Making it up behind my back again Holding my breath
  for the fear of sleep again Holding it up behind my head again Cut in deep to the heart of the bone
  again Round and round and round And it's coming apart again Over and over and over Now that I
 know that I'm breaking to pieces I'll pull out my heart And I'll feed it to anyone Crying for sympathy
  Crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd And the three cheers from everyone Dropping through sky
 Through the glass of the roof Through the roof of your mouth Through the mouth of your eye Through
 the eye of the needle It's easier for me to get closer to heaven Than ever feel whole again I never said
I would stay to the end I knew I would leave you with babies and everything Screaming like this in the
   hole of sincerity Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs Pictures of
   trickery Stains on the carpet and Stains on the memory Songs about happiness murmured in
       dreams When we both of us knew How the end always is How the end always is...

 UNTITLED Hopelessly drift In the eyes of the ghost again Down on my knees And my hands in the
 air again Pushing my face in the memory of you again But I never know if it's real Never know how I
wanted to feel Never quite said what Iwanted to say to you Never quite managed the words to explain
  to you Never quite knew how to make them believable And now the time has gone Another time
  undone Hopelessly fighting the devil Futility Feeling the moster Climb deeper inside of me Feeling
      him gnawing my heart away Hungrily I'll never lose this pain Never dream of you again

LAST DANCE I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered To see how we're ending Our last
 dance together Expectant Too puctual But prettier than ever I really believe that this time it's forever
   But older than me now More constant More real And the fur and the mouth and the innocence
 Turned to hair and contentment That hangs in abasement A woman now standing where once There
 was only a girl I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered The walking through walls in the
 heart of December The blindness of happiness Of falling down laughing And I really believed that this
  time was forever But Christmas falls late now Flatter and colder And never as bright as when we
 used to fall All this in an instant Before I can kiss you A woman now standing where once There was
   only a girl I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered To see how we're ending Our last
 dance together Reluctantly Cautiously But prettier than ever I really believe that this time it's forever
 But Christmas falls late now Flatter and colder And never as bright as when we used to fall And even
   if we drink I don't think we would kiss in the way that we did When the woman Was only a girl

 HOMESICK Hey hey! Just one more and I'll walk away All the everything you win Turns to nothing
  today And I forget how to move When my mouth is this dry And my eyes are bursting hearts In a
  blood-stained sky Oh it was sweet It was wild And oh how we... I trembled Stuck in honey Honey
 Cling to me... So just one more Just one more go Inspire in me the desire in me To never go home
  Oh just one more And I'll walk away All the everything you win Turns to nothing today So just one
           more Just one more go Inspire in me the desire in me To never go home

 BABBLE Nothing ever changes Nothing ever moves I swim around in circles In the same old lifeless
 room And talk about the mirror man The whispers in my ear again The hot and sticky pillow man Is
 smothering my face again Nothing ever changes Nothing ever moves And I run around hysterical In
  dead persistent gloom And babble out in simile Like dog-head-monkey-music me Shut up shut up
                    shut up shut up Shut up!!! And let me breathe...

OUT OF MIND I've been up for days And I feel like a menagerie I'm scratching 'til I bleed And I keep
 on seeing Imaginary lemurs In the street In the middle of the day But as long as I can breathe Then I
 know I'll be OK I'll be alright I'm out of mind I'm out of sight I'm out of sight I've been up for days And I
 feel like a laboratory rat Inside a maze And I reel in the monotony of Screaming At the moon In the
  middle of the day But as long as I can see it Then I know I'll be OK I'll be fine I'm out of sight I'm
 completely out of mind Completely out of mind OK Alright Come and watch me shake tonight Mouth
 wide Soft and bright Bite my hand and scream OK Alright Come and watch me break tonight Push
                  deep Out of sight Bite my hand and hold on tight...

 FEAR OF GHOSTS Like a feeling that I'm down Deep inside my heart Like I'm looking out through
   Splitting blood red Windows in my heart From a higher up than heaven And a harder down than
 stone Shake the fear that always clawing Pulls me clawing down alone As I spitting splitting blood
  red Breaking windows in my heart And the past is taunting Fear of ghosts Is forcing me apart And
  the further I get From the things that I care about The less I care about How much further away I
  get... I am lost again With everything gone And more alone Than I have ever been I expect you to
 understand To feel it too But I know that even if you will You cannot ever help me Nor can I Ever help
                                   you

 2 LATE So I'll wait for you Where I always wait Behind the signs that sell the news I'll watch for you
 like yesterday And hope for you One day that once Spent out on me And up 'til late I search for you
 Your hat pushed straight Away from me Your measured step Heads up you win Always too late If I
 could just once catch your eye Invisible against the words That hold you down in solitude And never
 let you go The way that every time My eyes just close Like lids of wooden men in file I put you under
                    rainy day Your hat's all off And I'm gone away...

  OPEN I really don't know what I'm doing here I really think I should've gone to bed tonight but...
"Just one drink And there're some people to meet you I think that you'll like them I have to say we do
 And i promise in less than than an hour we will honestly go... Now why don't I just get you another
 While you just say hello... " Yeah just say hello... So I'm clutching it tight Another glass in my hand
 And my mouth and the smiles Moving up as I stand up Too close and too wide And the smiles are
 too bright And I breathe in too deep And my head's getting light But the air is getting heavier and it's
 closer And I'm starting to sway And the hands all on my shoulders don't have names And they won't
go away So here I go Here I go again... Falling into strangers And it's only just eleven And I'm staring
  like a child Until someone slips me heaven And I take it on my knees Just like a thousand times
 before And I get transfixed That fixed And I'm just looking at the floor Just looking at the floor Yeah i
  look at the floor... And I'm starting to laugh Like an animal in pain And I've got blood on my hands
  And I've got hands in my brain And the first short retch Leaves me gasping for more And I stagger
 over screaming On my way to the floor And I'm back on my back With the lights and the lies in my
 eyes And the colour and the music's too loud And my head's all the wrong size So here I go Here I
 go again... Yeah I laugh and I jump And I sing and I laugh And I dance and I laugh And I laugh and I
 laugh And I can't seem to think Where this is Who I am Why I'm keeping this going Keep pouring it
 out Keep pouring it down Keeping it going Keep pouring it down And the way the rain comes down
  hard... That's the way I feel inside... I can't take it anymore This it I've become This is it like I get
 When my life's going numb I just keep moving my mouth I just keep moving my feet I say I'm loving
  you to death Like I'm losing my breath And all the smiles that I wear And all the games that I play
  And all the drinks that I mix And i drink until I'm sick And all the faces I make And all the shapes
 that I throw And alll the people I meet And all the words that I know Makes me sick to the heart Oh I
        feel so tired... And the way the rain comes down hard... That's how I feel inside...

 HIGH When I see you sky as a kite As high as I might I can't get that high The how you move The
 way you burst the clouds It makes me want to try When I see you sticky as lips As licky as trips I
  can't lick that far But when you pout The way you shout out loud It makes me want to start And
  when I see you happy as a girl That swims in a world of magic show It makes me bite my fingers
 through To think I could've let you go And when I see you Take the same sweet steps You used to
  take I say I'll keep on holding you My arms so tight I'll never let you slip away And when I see you
  kitten as a cat Yeah as smitten as that I can't get that small Tthe way you fur The how you purr It
     makes me want to paw you all And when I see you happy as a girl That lives in a world of
  make-believe It makes me pull my hair all out To think I could've let you leave And when I see you
 Take the same sweet steps You used to take I know I'll keep on holding you In arms so tight They'll
                               never let you go

 APART He waits for her to understand But she won't understand at all She waits all night for him to
 call But he won't call anymore He waits to hear her say "Forgive" But she justs drops her pearl-black
 eyes And prays to hear him say "I love you" But he tells no more lies He waits for her to sympathize
 But she won't sympathize at all She waits all night to feel his kiss But always wakes alone He waits
 to hear her say "Forget" But she just hangs her head in pain And prays to hear him say "No more I'll
  never leave again" How did we get this far apart? We used to be so close together How did we get
  this far apart? I thought this love would last for ever He waits for her to understand But she won't
   understand at all She waits all night for him to call But he won't call He waits to hear her say
 "Forgive" But she just drops her pearl black eyes And prays to hear him say "I love you" But he tells
 no more lies How did we get this far apart? We used to be so close together How did we get this far
                     apart? I thought this love would last for ever

  FROM THE EDGE OF THE DEEP GREEN SEA Every time we do this I fall for her Wave
 after wave after wave It's all for her "I know this can't be wrong" I say (And I'll lie to keep her happy)
 "As long as I know that you know That today I belong right here with you" Right here with you... And
 so we watch the sun come up From the edge of the deep green sea And she listens like her head's
  on fire Like she wants to believe in me So I try "Put your hands in the sky Surrender Remember
 We'll be here forever And we'll never say goodbye... " I've never been so Colourfully-see-through-head
  before I've never been so Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more And all I want is to keep it like this
 You and me alone A secret kiss And don't go home Don't go away Don't let this end Please stay...
   Not just for today... "Never never never never never let me go" she says "Hold me like this for a
 hundred thousand million days" But suddenly she slows And looks down at my breaking face "Why
 do you cry? What did I say?" "But it's just rain" I smile Brushing my tears away... I wish I could just
 stop I know another moment will break my heart Too many tears Too many times Too many years
   I've cried over you How much more can we use it up? Drink it dry? Take this drug? Looking for
 something forever gone But something we will always want... "Why why why are you letting me go"
 she says "I feel you pulling back I feel you changing shape" And just as I'm breaking free She hangs
 herself in front of me Slips her dress like a flag to the floor And hands in the sky Surrenders it all... I
 wish I could just stop I know another moment will break my heart Too many tears Too many times
  Too many years I've cried for you It's always the same Wake up in the rain Head in pain Hung in
 shame A different name Same old game Love in vain And miles and miles and miles and miles and
                          miles Away from home again...

 WENDY TIME "You look like you could do with a friend" she said "You look like you could use a
  hand Someone to make you smile" she said "Someone who can understand Share your trouble
Comfort you Hold you close And I can do all of these... I think you need me here with you" "You look
   like you could do with a sister" she said "You look like you need a girl to call your own... like...
    Fabulous! Fabulous! Call me Fabulous!" And rubbing her hands so slow "You stare at me all
strange" she said "Are you hungry for more?" "I've had enough" I said "Please leave me alone Please  go" It doesn't touch me at all It doesn't touch me at all "You know that you could do with a friend"  she said "You know that you could use a word Like feel or follow or fuck" she said And laughing
 away as she turned "You're everything but no-one Like the last man on earth" "And when I die" I said
 I'll leave you it all" Door closes... Leaves me cold It doesn't touch me at all It doesn't touch me at all
 "You really do need a sister" she said "You really do need a girl to call your own... like... Wonderful!
  Wonderful! Call me Wonderful!" And running her hands so slow "You stare at me all strange" she
 said "Are you hungry for more?" "I've had enough" I said "Please leave me alone Please go... Please    go"

 DOING THE UNSTUCK It's a perfect day for letting go For setting fire to bridges Boats And other

 Without a doubt To burst grin giggle bliss skip jump sing and shout Let's get happy! "But it's much

 wrong you can be And how you really should know That it's never too late To get up and go... It's a
  perfect day for kiss and swell For rip-zipping button-popping kiss and well... There's loads of other
 stuff can make you yell Let's get happy! It's a perfect day for doing the unstuck For dancing like you

 much too late" you say "For doing this now We should have done it then" Well it just goes to show
 How wrong you can be And how you really should know That it's never too late To get up and go...
Kick out the gloom Kick out the blues Tear out the pages with all the bad news Pull down the mirrors
 and pull down the walls Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors Oh just burn down the house! Burn
 down the street! Turn everything red and the beat is complete With the sound of your world Going up
  in the fire It's a perfect day to throw back your head And kiss it all goodbye! It's a perfect day for
 getting wild Forgetting all your worries Life And everything that makes you cry Let's get happy! It's a
   perfect day for dreams come true For thinking big And doing anything you want to do Let's get
 happy! "But it's much too late" you say "For doing this now We should have done it then" Well it just
 goes to show How wrong you can be And how you really should know That it's never too late To get
  up and go... Kick out the gloom Kick out the blues Tear out the pages with all the bad news Pull
 down the mirrors and pull down the walls Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors Oh just burn down
 the house! Burn down the street! Turn everything red and the dream is complete With the sound of
  your world Going up in the fire It's a perfect day to throw back your head And kiss it all goodbye!

 FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE I don't care if Monday's blue Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too Thursday I
 don't care about you It's Friday I'm in love Monday you can fall apart Tuesday Wednesday break my
 heart Thursday doesn't even start It's Friday I'm in love Saturday wait And Sunday always comes too
  late But Friday never hesitate... I don't care if Mondays black Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
    Thursday never looking back It's Friday I'm in love Monday you can hold your head Tuesday
Wednesday stay in bed Or Thursday watch the walls instead It's Friday I'm in love Saturday wait And
 Sunday always comes too late But Friday never hesitate... Dressed up to the eyes It's a wonderful
  surprise To see your shoes and your spirits rise Throwing out your frown And just smiling at the
    sound And as sleek as a shriek Spinning round and round Always take a big bite It's such a
  gorgeous sight To see you eat in the middle of the night You can never get enough Enough of this
                            stuff It's Friday I'm in love

 TRUST There is no-one left in the world That I can hold onto There is really no-one left at all There is
 only you And if you leave me now You leave all that we were Undone There is really no-one left You
 are the only one And still the hardest part for you To put your trust in me I love you more than I can
                         say Why won't you just believe?

    A LETTER TO ELISE Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every
  yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out Every way to smile Forget And
  make-believe we never needed Any more than this Any more than this Oh Elise it doesn't matter
   what you do I know I'll never really get inside of you To make your eyes catch fire The way they
  should The way the blue could pull me in If they only would If they only would At least I'd lose this
  sense of sensing something else That hides away From me and you There're worlds to part With
 aching looks and breaking hearts And all the prayers your hands can make Oh I just take as much
  as you can throw And then throw it all away Oh I throw it all away Like throwing faces at the sky
 Like throwing arms round Yesterday I stood and stared Wide-eyed in front of you And the face I saw
 looked back The way I wanted to But I just can't hold my tears away The way you do Elise believe I
 never wanted this I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises I thought you were the girl I always
  dreamed about But I let the dream go And the promises broke And the make-believe ran out... So
  Elise It doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out
  the same The way we act out Every way to smile Forget And make-believe we never needed Any
more than this Any more than this And every time I try to pick it up Like falling sand As fast as I pick
 it up It runs away through my clutching hands But there's nothing else I can really do There's nothing
              else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do At all...

 CUT If only you'd never speak to me The way that you do If only you'd never speak like that It's like
 listening to A breaking heart A falling sky Fire go out and friendship die I wish you felt the way that I
  still do The way that I still do If only you'd never look at me The way that you do If only you'd never
look like that When I look at you I see face like stone Eyes of ice Mouth so sweetly telling lies I wish
 you felt the way that I still do The way that I still do But you don't You don't feel anymore You don't
care anymore It's all gone If only you'd never pull from me The way that you do If only you'd never pull
 like that When I'm with you I feel hopeless hands helplessly Pulling you back close to me I wish you
  felt the way that I still do The way that I still do If only you'd ever speak speak to me The way you
 once did Look at me the way you once did Pull to me the way you once did But you don't You don't
               feel anymore You don't care anymore It's all gone It's all gone

 TO WISH IMPOSSIBLE THINGS Remember how it used to be When the sun would fill the sky
     Remember how we used to feel Those days would never end Those days would never end
  Remember how it used to be When the stars would fill the sky Remember how we used to dream
 Those nights would never end Those nights would never end It was the sweetness of your skin It was
  the hope of all we might have been That filled me with the hope to wish Impossible things To wish
  impossible things But now the sun shines cold And all the sky is grey The stars are dimmed by
    clouds and tears And all I wish Is gone away All I wish Is gone away All I wish Is gone away

END I think I've reached that point Where giving up and going on Are both the same dead end to me
 Are both the same old song I think I've reached that point Where every wish has come true And tired
 disguised oblivion Is everything I do Please stop loving me Please stop loving me I am none of these
 things I think I've reached that point Where all the things you have to say And hopes for something
 more from me Are just games to pass the time away Please stop loving me Please stop loving me I
   am none of these things I think I've reached that point Where every word that you write Of every
 blood dark sea And every soul black night And every dream you dream me in And every perfect free
  from sin And burning eyes And hearts on fire Are just the same old song Please stop loving me
 Please stop loving me I am none of these things I am none of these things I am none of these things

 THIS TWILIGHT GARDEN I lift my lips from kissing you To kiss the sky Cloud soft and blue And
  slow the sun melts down Into your golden words for me I lift my hands from touching you To touch
 the wind that whispers through This twilight garden Turns into a world Where dreams are real No-one
 will ever take your place I am lost in you No-one will ever take your place So in love with you I lift my
  eyes from watching you To watch the star rise shine onto Your dreaming face and dreaming smile
You're dreaming worlds for me I lift my lips from kissing you And kiss the sky wide deepest blue And
 slow the moon swims up Into your golden words for me No-one will ever take your place I am lost in
                 you No-one will ever take your place So in love with you

 PLAY Day after day I let you down Promise you to change Then change my mind And every time I
 promise you It will all be fine It won't be like this next time The days you wait Turn into years Always
    wait Helpless tears Hopeless nights And all the fears It will always be like this You give me
 everything you have Hoping it will someday be enough To melt my heart To make me fall in love Day
 after day I let you down Promise you to change it all Then change my mind And every time I promise
  you Soon be fine It won't be like this next time But tonight we play I think The final act I push too
 hard And you crack Walk away Don't look back This time you've really gone You give me everything
    you have Knowing it can never be enough My heart's too old Too hard Too cold For your love

  HALO I never felt like this with anyone before You only have to smile and I'm dizzy You make the
 world go round A thousand times an hour Just touch my head And send me spinning I never felt like
 this with anyone before You show me colours and I'm crying You hold my eyes in yours And open
 up the world I can't believe all this I want to keep this feeling Deep inside of me I want you always in
   my heart You are everything I never felt like this with anyone before You fill my head all full of
 rainbows And all the rainbows end Is every step you take Just to be with you forever I want to keep
        this feeling Deep inside of me I want you always in my heart You are everything

 SCARED AS YOU You know those things I said All those things that made you cry I didn't really
 mean that stuff I didn't really mean that stuff All I ever really mean When I scream and shout the way
  I do Is I don't know I really don't I'm just the same as you You know those things I said All those
 things that made you Run away from me I didn't mean a word I didn't really mean I don't believe All I
ever really mean When I rant and rave the way I do Is I'm scared I'm scared I'm just as scared as you
 And sometimes it's so hard Not to just throw it all away Sometimes it's so hard Not to just throw it
 all away Like all those things I said All those things that made you cry I didn't really mean that stuff I
 didn't really mean to say goodbye You know those things I said All those things that made you Run
  away from me I didn't mean a word I didn't really mean I don't believe All I ever really mean When I
        scream and shout the way I do Is I'm scared I'm scared I'm just as scared as you

  THE BIG HAND The big hand makes all of your favourite things Like all your dreams go small
  And all your friends run away Until your memories fail And the words don't fit But the way the big
 hand smiles You just won't care about it The big hand makes all of your favourite things Like all your
  days run out And all your hopes disappear And your smiles just stop And your eyes go dead And
 the shadows start to crawl In the back of your head But when the big hand speaks It's like fireworks
 and heaven So you listen Don't think And wish for nothing at all And when the big hand sings It's like
  fireworks and friends Leaving alone I'm not Leaving alone Leaving alone I'll never Leave alone again
So when the big hand holds up all your favourite things And with a touch like glass Starts to squeeze
  You don't ask "Why me?" You just slip to the floor Just slip to your knees But when the big hand
 speaks It's like fireworks and heaven So you listen Don't think And wish for nothing at all And when
  the big hand sings It's like fireworks and friends Leaving alone I'm not Leaving alone Never leaving
       alone Leaving alone I'm not Leaving alone Leaving alone I'm not leaving alone again

 A FOOLISH ARRANGEMENT Christabel strips And slips like a dream Breaking ice with arms that
  gleam with pain Disdain... She throws her head And glides against the stream Throwing me her
  bravest smile Defiant Glittering Shivering guile "Catching a cold is quick this time But fish?... Fish
  may take a while... " Christabel dips and slips from me And hand pushed deep inside is suddenly
 free Triumphant Reluctantly Struggling six legs held up for me to see "Don't be so scared It's nothing
 new It's the same old game Only fun with two... " But fast and over and over "I can't play this game
   with you" Everything she tries to tell me Leaves me open mouthed and still Foolishly arrange
  tomorrow The way I always will Christabel trips And grips my hand But never to be saved... For a
 second I understand and I fall with her... "I'll never leave you Love you See you change into the man I
                  want But it's not for long this thing It's not for long... "

  BURN "Don't look don't look" the shadows breathe Whispering me away from you "Don't wake at
 night to watch her sleep You know that you will always lose This trembling Adored Tousled bird mad
  girl... " But every night I burn But every night I call your name Every night I burn Every night I fall
again "Oh don't talk of love" the shadows purr Murmuring me away from you "Don't talk of worlds that
 never were The end is all that's ever true There's nothing you can ever say Nothing you can ever do...
  " Still every night I burn Every night I scream your name Every night I burn Every night the dream's
 the same Every night I burn Waiting for my only friend Every night I burn Waiting for the world to end
 "Just paint your face" the shadows smile Slipping me away from you "Oh it doesn't matter how you
hide Find you if we're wanting to So slide back down and close your eyes Sleep a while You must be
 tired... " But every night I burn Every night I call your name Every night I burn Every night I fall again
 Every night I burn Scream the animal scream Every night I burn Dream the crow black dream Dream
                            the crow black dream...

 WAITING... TONIGHT I'LL DREAM A GIRL CALLED HOME AND WAKE UP IN TEARS ALL ON
 MY OWN WITH THE SUN COMING UP AND MY HEAD AGAINST STONE BALCONY DRESSED
 AND DRAWN TONIGHT I'LL DREAM A ROOM SO FAR AWAY FROST PALE BLUE THE COLOUR
  OF A PERFECT DAY AND THEN SCREW UP MY FACE IN THE MIRROR AS I WAIT FOR THE
 OTHERS TO CALL BUT IF I DON'T BELIEVE IN MAGIC AND I DON'T BELIEVE IN BLOOD AND I
DON'T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES AND I DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE THEN HOW COME I BELIEVE SO
  SOON IN A CHERRY TREE GIRL AND A DUST BLUE ROOM? TONIGHT I'LL DREAM AN HOUR
   SO LONG SHADOW SOFT SMILES AND EVERYONE LOVES ME TO OPEN MY EYES IN A
   DRAG MYSELF FACE UNDONE HARD BACK INTO THE WORLD TONIGHT I'LL DREAM A
 DREAM I DREAM WITHOUT EVEN TRYING I'M FLYING I SCREAM AS I PRACTICE THE MOVE I
 SPIT AT MY PILLOW STAINED FACE AND THE OTHERS ALL COME BUT IF I DON'T BELIEVE IN
  MAGIC AND I DON'T BELIEVE IN BLOOD AND I DON'T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES AND I DON'T
