The Frankie Miller Project<\/h3>\n

In 2001 I started working with\u00a0Cormac O’Kane<\/a>. He became a coordinator for the\u00a0Frankie Miller Project<\/a>\u00a0(Wiki info<\/a>) and invited me to be a part of it. This meant having two of my songs produced by Grammy award winning producers (Peter Henderson<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Alistair McMillan<\/a>) and having my songs put on a showcase CD. The rest is history… I am still a songwriter of nil repute, however I continue to be driven to share my suffering with the rest of the world. A problem shared is, as I often demonstrate, a problem doubled.<\/p>\n

Needless to say the experience was a good one, and with two well produced songs and an almost finished video I feel honoured to have been part of the project and my thanks goes out to all those involved especially\u00a0Cormac O’Kane<\/a>, and Denise Boyle for introducing Cormac and I in the first place.<\/p>\n

1993<\/a><\/h2>\n

Entitled was released in 1993. I hardly wrote any new songs during this period, concentrating on production instead. After the album was released the following few years were focused on performing live and it wasn’t til 1994\/5 that any new ideas were recorded. So whilst most of the songs on this page were written in 1990 they were “finished” in 1993, hence them being here.<\/p>\n

In The Middle Of The Night<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

\n

I’m watching the storm on my TV<\/p>\n

Look out the window at the rain<\/p>\n

I see you smiling in the puddles of the sky<\/p>\n

Don’t know why you go,<\/p>\n

Don’t know why you go,<\/p>\n

\n

Lights are flashing<\/p>\n

The wind is blowing<\/p>\n

And the rain comes down<\/p>\n

Trains go by and cars drown out the sound<\/p>\n

\n

Planes are flying high<\/p>\n

Gonna touch the sky one day<\/p>\n

Gonna take it all away<\/p>\n

Gonna know you’re waiting there<\/p>\n

Upon a wing<\/em><\/p>\n

Upon a prayer<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

In the middle of the night I drive away<\/p>\n

Drive along gonna take away today<\/p>\n

Gonna love you and keep my love today<\/p>\n

Gonna take my life, gonna take it away<\/p>\n

\n

I don’t know I can’t see<\/p>\n

But your love is in the wind<\/p>\n

Like a bird that’s home to stay<\/p>\n

I can feel you here next to me<\/p>\n

A thousand miles away<\/p>\n

A thousand miles away<\/p>\n

\n

Standing in a phone box<\/p>\n

Singing tales of woe<\/p>\n

Exchange your money<\/p>\n

For the things that you don’t know<\/p>\n

Forces come and go<\/p>\n

\u2018til my love goes somewhere<\/p>\n

I’ll pretend that I don’t care<\/p>\n

Memories of love are everywhere<\/p>\n

\n

In the middle of the night I drive away<\/p>\n

Drive along gonna take away today<\/p>\n

Gonna love you and keep my love today<\/p>\n

Gonna take my life, gonna take it away<\/p>\n

\n

In the middle of the night I’m with you<\/p>\n

In the middle of the night I need you<\/p>\n

In the middle of the night I’m loving you<\/p>\n

In the middle of the night I’m with you<\/p>\n

\n

Forces come and go<\/p>\n

\u2018til my love goes somewhere<\/p>\n

I’ll pretend that I don’t care<\/p>\n

Memories of love are everywhere<\/p>\n

\n

In the middle of your breath I’ll kiss you<\/p>\n

In the middle of our dance we speak a truth<\/p>\n

In the middle of journeys that make us stay<\/p>\n

In the middle of a crisis peace be with me<\/p>\n

\n

In the middle of the night,<\/p>\n

In the middle of the night<\/p>\n

In the middle of our life,<\/p>\n

In the middle of our life<\/p>\n

In the middle of the night,<\/p>\n

In the middle of our love<\/p>\n

In the middle of our love<\/p>\n

Love On The TV Edit 9<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

Look out a long way to sea<\/p>\n

People on a boat lookin’ back at me<\/p>\n

I’m sitting quietly watching the world go by<\/p>\n

Don’t you see me cry<\/p>\n

Don’t you see me<\/p>\n

\n

I’m watching the trees grow<\/p>\n

Watching the peace blow by<\/p>\n

I’m watching people dancing<\/p>\n

Walking hand in hand – no cry<\/p>\n

\n

And if you knew the things we did<\/p>\n

Then maybe you’d come to see<\/p>\n

But our love is something<\/p>\n

You’ll never find on the TV<\/p>\n

\n

I’m watching the history of our love on TV<\/p>\n

Rewind to the part where you say you love me<\/p>\n

\n

But our love was a story that could make a film<\/p>\n

On A TV coming soon to you<\/p>\n

But you’d never know if it was real<\/p>\n

If it was ever true<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m looking out the window<\/p>\n

Our words fall from the sky<\/p>\n

The letters of our love<\/p>\n

Are scattered far and wide<\/p>\n

But our love was a story that could make a film<\/p>\n

On A TV coming soon to you<\/p>\n

But you’d never know if it was real<\/p>\n

If it was ever true<\/p>\n

\n

If it was ever true<\/p>\n

If it was ever true<\/p>\n

If it was ever true<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

But if you knew the things we did<\/p>\n

Then maybe you’d come to see<\/p>\n

But our love is something<\/p>\n

You’ll never find on the TV<\/p>\n

You and Me<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

I’m happy now<\/p>\n

You’re sleeping here<\/p>\n

This love is pure<\/p>\n

\n

You come to me<\/p>\n

And go away<\/p>\n

Play songs of love<\/p>\n

From yesterday<\/p>\n

Lovers kiss eternally<\/p>\n

That’s the way it’s<\/p>\n

Meant to be<\/p>\n

\n

Everybody learns by heart<\/p>\n

How the love is gonna start<\/p>\n

It’s gonna be<\/p>\n

You and me<\/p>\n

Everybody wants<\/p>\n

You and me \u2013 come with me \u2013<\/p>\n

You and me<\/p>\n

\n

Keep my love<\/p>\n

Don’t take away<\/p>\n

I know I’m gonna stay<\/p>\n

And run away<\/p>\n

Fled by me<\/p>\n

Keep today<\/p>\n

In my love \u2013 oh no no<\/p>\n

\n

Every time you go away<\/p>\n

My love will come<\/p>\n

And say no more to you<\/p>\n

Kiss the blue<\/p>\n

Start to lose<\/p>\n

Je t’accuse<\/p>\n

\n

And you make my heart sing<\/p>\n

Of dreams where truth is something<\/p>\n

\n

If our love is meant to be<\/p>\n

Then it’s something that we’ll see<\/p>\n

If this dream is going to live<\/p>\n

Then we’ll have to learn to give<\/p>\n

\n

Every time you go away<\/p>\n

My love’ll call another day<\/p>\n

And every time you see my heart<\/p>\n

Gonna take us to the start<\/p>\n

\n

Everybody take my hand<\/p>\n

Everybody understand<\/p>\n

Everybody laughin’ with me<\/p>\n

Everybody come to me<\/p>\n

\n

In time we’ll be fine<\/p>\n

Walk away my love<\/p>\n

With you<\/p>\n

\n

Every time you go away<\/p>\n

My love’ll call another day<\/p>\n

And every time you cry no more<\/p>\n

Gonna open up a door<\/p>\n

\n

Every time you go away<\/p>\n

My heart it says<\/p>\n

It gonna stay like<\/p>\n

Everybody who loved me<\/p>\n

Is gonna see<\/p>\n

If it’s you<\/p>\n

And I am me<\/p>\n

\n

Well you’re gonna take me<\/p>\n

Forsake me for a lie<\/p>\n

My love is true<\/p>\n

Dressed in blue<\/p>\n

Start to lose<\/p>\n

Je t’accuse<\/p>\n

\n

And you make my heart sing<\/p>\n

Of dreams where truth is something<\/p>\n

\n

If our love is meant to be<\/p>\n

Then it’s something that we’ll see<\/p>\n

If this dream is going to live<\/p>\n

Then we’ll have to learn to give<\/p>\n

If we’re gonna live at all<\/p>\n

We’re gonna have to risk a fall<\/p>\n

Now here’s my number<\/p>\n

And here’s the ball<\/p>\n

Speak the truth<\/p>\n

Now make the call<\/p>\n

\n

Every time you leave<\/p>\n

Your heart calls<\/p>\n

Through doors n walls<\/p>\n

Fate may choose<\/p>\n

That we should lose<\/p>\n

I’ll kiss the blues<\/p>\n

Je t’accuse<\/p>\n

The Chemistry Of Tears<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

The rhythm of the seasons call<\/p>\n

Upon the shadows on my wall<\/p>\n

\n

As I wait for the phone to ring<\/p>\n

I feel the thoughts hurting<\/p>\n

\n

But the times they come to me are sharing tears<\/p>\n

And the time we visited Galilee last year<\/p>\n

And the sun it calls over prison walls<\/p>\n

And the time you loved me<\/p>\n

Will recall what I first saw and<\/p>\n

This is the geology of our love<\/p>\n

A fault line through my heart<\/p>\n

And the shingle of your tears<\/p>\n

Resounds to me for a million years<\/p>\n

\n

I wave at you across the canyon<\/p>\n

You shoot a starry look at me<\/p>\n

And say that this was a place<\/p>\n

Where once they’d been a sea<\/p>\n

And on dry land star fish come to me<\/p>\n

\n

But the times they come to me are tearing tears<\/p>\n

And the time we visited Galilee last year<\/p>\n

The bullet it landed here and made a mark upon the wall<\/p>\n

This where the body came to fall<\/p>\n

\n

Instrumental<\/p>\n

\n

This is the time of my life<\/p>\n

And this is a photo where<\/p>\n

You once were my wife<\/p>\n

This is the weapon<\/p>\n

This is the song<\/p>\n

This is the reason why it went wrong<\/p>\n

And this is the chemistry of<\/p>\n

This is the biology<\/p>\n

This is the psychology of goodbye<\/p>\n

The Place Where The Locals Meet \u2013 Idea 108<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

Welcome to my humble house, friend<\/p>\n

This is a where I choose to live<\/p>\n

Cigarettes are left outside<\/p>\n

Shoes can be worn<\/p>\n

Magazines lay unread and un-torn<\/p>\n

\n

Welcome to the town I live in<\/p>\n

It’s been a sunny here for years<\/p>\n

But there’s a lake outside of town<\/p>\n

Which the locals fill it with their fears<\/p>\n

\n

And the waves they’re a crashing on our front doors<\/p>\n

But we don’t care \u2018cause we’re tall<\/p>\n

And the storm it comes and goes every year<\/p>\n

And I don’t know which way to run<\/p>\n

\n

So lay across my bed my sweet one<\/em><\/p>\n

I will stroke you \u2018til you sleep<\/em><\/p>\n

And as you dream I’ll take your tears<\/em><\/p>\n

And your fears<\/em><\/p>\n

To the lake where the locals meet<\/em><\/p>\n

Where the locals meet<\/em><\/p>\n

Where the locals sleep<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Mid 8<\/p>\n

\n

So welcome to my house<\/p>\n

This is the place that I was born<\/p>\n

This is the place where magazines go un-torn<\/p>\n

And unread<\/p>\n

Lay across my bed<\/p>\n

The animals are happy and are fed<\/p>\n

\n

So this is the town where I come from<\/p>\n

The lights go out at midnight<\/p>\n

So if you’re out and about<\/p>\n

It’s hard to find your way home<\/p>\n

And so alone<\/p>\n

\n

And this is the place where my fears grow stronger<\/p>\n

With every candle that I light<\/p>\n

And this is the place where I live, longer<\/p>\n

If I go to bed at night<\/p>\n

\n

So lay across my bed my sweet one<\/em><\/p>\n

I will stroke you \u2018til you sleep<\/em><\/p>\n

And as you dream I’ll take your tears<\/em><\/p>\n

And your fears<\/em><\/p>\n

To the lake where the locals meet<\/em><\/p>\n

Where the locals weep<\/em><\/p>\n

Where the locals sleep<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s where you’re weak<\/p>\n

That’s where we’re in deep<\/p>\n

With the secrets I keep<\/p>\n

\n

So this is where my dreams come to<\/p>\n

I leave them here for you<\/p>\n

And when I’m long gone<\/p>\n

You’ll listen to my song<\/p>\n

And you’ll know my dream was true<\/p>\n

And you’ll know my dream was for you<\/p>\n

And you’ll know my dream came true<\/p>\n

And you’ll listen to my songs all night long<\/p>\n

And you’ll know I wasn’t always wrong<\/p>\n

\n

Round And Round \/ Persuading You<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

I’m riding the wheel<\/p>\n

Going round and round<\/p>\n

Listening to the same sound<\/p>\n

And it’s going round<\/p>\n

I’m watching you spin<\/p>\n

I’m feeling everything<\/p>\n

It’s hard to know<\/p>\n

If it’s time to<\/p>\n

Stay or go<\/p>\n

\n

Persuading you persuading me<\/p>\n

Persuading you persuading me<\/p>\n

\n

Watching the wheel turn<\/p>\n

Watching the sun burn<\/p>\n

Watching the telephone<\/p>\n

And I’m waiting for your return<\/p>\n

My love is shining through<\/p>\n

You don’t know what to do<\/p>\n

But I feel your love for me is<\/p>\n

\n

Persuading you persuading me<\/p>\n

Persuading you persuading me<\/p>\n

\n

I don’t know what is true<\/em><\/p>\n

But I can’t feel you<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Like they used to<\/em><\/p>\n

Feeling you no more<\/em><\/p>\n

Listening to the film score<\/em><\/p>\n

A song that says no more<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Lifting the bridal veil<\/em><\/p>\n

A thief in a bridal gown<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Watching the sun burn<\/em><\/p>\n

Watching the telephone<\/em><\/p>\n

And I’m waiting for your return<\/em><\/p>\n

My love is shining through<\/em><\/p>\n

You don’t know what to do<\/em><\/p>\n

But I feel your love me is<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Go around with somebody else<\/em><\/p>\n

You can leave me here to stay<\/em><\/p>\n

And I’ll pay my way<\/em><\/p>\n

If you’re going round and round<\/em><\/p>\n

Then you may as well dance with me<\/em><\/p>\n

Cos this is the place where we can be<\/em><\/p>\n

Going round<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Persuading you<\/em><\/p>\n

Persuading me<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

And the way you say<\/em><\/p>\n

You can’t come back to day<\/em><\/p>\n

Well I’ve heard you say the same<\/em><\/p>\n

To everyone of you blame<\/em><\/p>\n

Beneath this golden sun<\/em><\/p>\n

Our love will be lost or won<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Persuading you<\/em><\/p>\n

Persuading me<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Well my life goes round and round<\/em><\/p>\n

Spinning dances to the same old sound<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

If you see me walk away<\/em><\/p>\n

Then come back another day<\/em><\/p>\n

If you see me walk to you<\/em><\/p>\n

Then you’ll know just what to do<\/em><\/p>\n

If you see me run this way<\/em><\/p>\n

Then you better to me too<\/em><\/p>\n

If you hear me sing this way<\/em><\/p>\n

Then I hope you’ll sing with me.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

If you feel I’m tied to you<\/em><\/p>\n

Then I guess our words are true<\/em><\/p>\n

If I sing to you<\/em><\/p>\n

Then you better hope my words are true<\/em><\/p>\n

If I come your way<\/em><\/p>\n

Keep My Love Girl<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

Well keep my life girl<\/p>\n

Run away<\/p>\n

Take my thoughts and<\/p>\n

Watch them play<\/p>\n

You tell my love song<\/p>\n

To all you meet<\/p>\n

Walk away girl<\/p>\n

Upon my feet<\/p>\n

You keep my love girl and<\/p>\n

You run away<\/p>\n

You keep them flying on a sunny day<\/p>\n

Light comes through my window<\/p>\n

It’s like any other day<\/p>\n

But it’s a time that I will<\/p>\n

Never feel this way<\/p>\n

You keep my love girl and<\/p>\n

You run away<\/p>\n

You keep my love girl and<\/p>\n

It’s how you want to play<\/p>\n

And if it’s true<\/p>\n

That it’s the last day<\/p>\n

Then I’d like to feel you<\/p>\n

Come my way<\/p>\n

And you’ll take your heart girl<\/p>\n

And you run away<\/p>\n

Say don’t do it<\/p>\n

Don’t want to be blue<\/p>\n

You keep my love girl and<\/p>\n

Want to play<\/p>\n

You keep my love girl and<\/p>\n

Gonna play<\/p>\n

She swam in cold water<\/p>\n

To free her soul<\/p>\n

But all she found was a<\/p>\n

Great big hole<\/p>\n

\n

You take my heart and it’s made of clay<\/p>\n

And you walk upon feet of a desperate day<\/p>\n

You keep my love girl and<\/p>\n

Wanna play<\/p>\n

Take my heart then walk away<\/p>\n

\n

But I did your dirty work and I did it well<\/p>\n

I can see everything go, and no one can tell<\/p>\n

Well the truth will tell<\/p>\n

Well it’s the truth to tell<\/p>\n

Well it’s the truth to tell<\/p>\n

\n

You keep my love girl and<\/p>\n

Run away<\/p>\n

You keep them flying on a sunny day<\/p>\n

\n

Well I did your dirty work and I did it well<\/p>\n

No one can see who did it, no one can tell<\/p>\n

\n

You keep my love girl<\/p>\n

And you<\/p>\n

Run away<\/p>\n

And you<\/p>\n

Keep my love girl<\/p>\n

And it’s how you want to play<\/p>\n

And if it’s true<\/p>\n

That it’s the last day<\/p>\n

Then I’d like to feel you<\/p>\n

Feel you come my way<\/p>\n

\n

You keep my love girl<\/p>\n

And you<\/p>\n

Want to play<\/p>\n

You keep my love girl<\/p>\n

And you<\/p>\n

Want to play<\/p>\n

Today<\/p>\n

Wait and Wait edit 6<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

Going to wait and wait, wait and wait for you<\/p>\n

I’m gonna to wait and wait, wait and wait for you<\/p>\n

A room with a view<\/p>\n

Funny what time did to you<\/p>\n

Dance some thoughts round your place<\/p>\n

Sunshine on your face<\/p>\n

Take off your threadbare clothes<\/p>\n

And show me your lace<\/p>\n

The wind blows to cue<\/p>\n

And I hold your hand and say I love you<\/p>\n

The truth is funny how it times your love to go<\/p>\n

The truth is funny how it wants you to know<\/p>\n

Love is like trees growing out of the sea<\/p>\n

I’m gonna to wait and wait, wait and wait for you<\/p>\n

The truth is funny how it times your love to go<\/p>\n

The truth is funny how it wants you to know<\/p>\n

\n

And your love is coming to me out of the night<\/p>\n

Holding me tight<\/p>\n

Singing my songs<\/p>\n

Knowing if it was or wasn’t wrong<\/p>\n

Didn’t you know if things are right<\/p>\n

They’re kept out of sight<\/p>\n

Didn’t you know the way they tell you love is blind<\/p>\n

Didn’t they know the things you hear have to be signed<\/p>\n

Love is restless<\/p>\n

Love is pure<\/p>\n

Love is dirty when you’re not sure<\/p>\n

Love is jealous when you are blind<\/p>\n

To the truth of what’s behind<\/p>\n

Don’t you know the things we said<\/p>\n

Can leave you lying dead<\/p>\n

Don’t you know the things you do<\/p>\n

Can take the life from me and you<\/p>\n

And you’re walking hand in hand<\/p>\n

Through nights of red and gold<\/p>\n

And you’re walking to the end of the film<\/p>\n

Where we grow old<\/p>\n

\n

Can see a long way out to sea today<\/p>\n

And the clouds are spreading slowly across the sky<\/p>\n

You keep my heart<\/p>\n

And your love it smiles<\/p>\n

And whistles all the while<\/p>\n

And takes me a long way long way long<\/p>\n

It takes my heart<\/p>\n

Take my heart<\/p>\n

Don’t take my heart to bed<\/p>\n

Gonna say<\/p>\n

Take my love<\/p>\n

It Gone away<\/p>\n

Gonna see that<\/p>\n

Love it’s gone<\/p>\n

Gone<\/p>\n

Gone away<\/p>\n

Gone away<\/p>\n

Going to wait and wait, wait and wait for<\/p>\n

I’m gonna wait and wait, wait and wait for you<\/p>\n

I’m gonna love, love you for you<\/p>\n

I’m gonna wait and wait, wait and wait for you<\/p>\n

I’m gonna wait and wait, wait and wait for you<\/p>\n

I’m gonna wait and wait, wait and wait for you<\/p>\n

I’m gonna wait and wait, wait and wait for you<\/p>\n

Jam With David 25th June 2009<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

All the songs are over and the words have been said<\/p>\n

The sun grows tired as it falls on your bed<\/p>\n

The sweet thing we had has gone<\/p>\n

You ask me if something is wrong<\/p>\n

\n

And rightly said you take me down<\/p>\n

And rightly said thank me for the time<\/p>\n

\n

The cars go by and I wonder why you say this to me<\/p>\n

I don’t know what you’re talking about so it’s pointless you see<\/p>\n

I just flow with you I just know what to do<\/p>\n

Watch the birds fly in a sky of grey and blue<\/p>\n

\n

Well the time has come and they say it’s time to go<\/p>\n

And rightly said the rain comes down upon our summer show<\/p>\n

I see the shadow of birds flying round me<\/p>\n

And I know my time has come<\/p>\n

\n

I lay down and watch the camera follow me<\/p>\n

Taking my image to a place I’ll never see<\/p>\n

And I know the time is coming<\/p>\n

I know my life will go<\/p>\n

And I know the things you write<\/p>\n

And I know you have to know<\/p>\n

\n

Sitting in the sun with your glasses on and you’re looking so good<\/p>\n

But there’s something inside me that knows that you shouldn’t but you could<\/p>\n

\n

The waves of love that break on the lies I heard from you<\/p>\n

You hold your hands up but there’s nothing I can do<\/p>\n

Flow from my heart and drive away<\/p>\n

Come back a long time later, don’t come back today<\/p>\n

\n

Leave your number on my telephone<\/p>\n

Leave your voice upon the days I’ll never own<\/p>\n

And it’s time to go home<\/p>\n

It’s time to go home<\/p>\n

Leave me alone<\/p>\n

Now it’s time to go home.<\/p>\n

\n

For\u00a0Neda Agha-Soltan<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Destination Destiny<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

You call to me<\/p>\n

Your words unsaid<\/p>\n

Lying softly<\/p>\n

\u2018Tween the sheets of our bed<\/p>\n

\n

I keep my love for you<\/p>\n

But I know we won’t come through<\/p>\n

I cross my heart<\/p>\n

While you make me pray<\/p>\n

\n

But the love you feel<\/p>\n

I can feel it too<\/p>\n

I know we’re gonna<\/p>\n

Give\u00a0a going to<\/em><\/p>\n

Gonna Fly<\/em><\/p>\n

Gonna go away forever<\/p>\n

To find a heart of gold<\/p>\n

You’ll find your strength in me<\/p>\n

Gonna Fly<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\n

You lay in front of me a long time<\/p>\n

Gonna cycle up a hill<\/p>\n

Gonna fly on down<\/p>\n

Gonna take away the night<\/p>\n

Gonna live a good life<\/p>\n

Come to me<\/em><\/p>\n

Come to me<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\n

I remember the time when we first met<\/p>\n

A chance encounter<\/p>\n

You may care to forget<\/p>\n

You loved forever with all your heart<\/p>\n

From the start you knew you’d love until you die<\/p>\n

Come to me<\/p>\n

And I will show you a way to fly<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

Gonna Fly<\/em><\/p>\n

Gonna feel my life away<\/p>\n

Gonna see the love today<\/p>\n

Gonna feel that I’m alone<\/p>\n

Gonna cross my heart and pray<\/p>\n

Gonna Fly<\/em><\/p>\n

Please be mine<\/p>\n

Please be mine<\/p>\n

\n

Solo<\/p>\n

\n

Our time has come<\/p>\n

And now it’s gone<\/p>\n

Our aim was true but the stars were wrong<\/p>\n

This Destination was destiny led<\/p>\n

Now I’ve learned the words you whispered<\/p>\n

Were dreams\u00a0upon our bed<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Because I know the lies you told me<\/p>\n

Were lies you told yourself<\/p>\n

But I ain’t here to drift along<\/p>\n

Can’t fill this hole with wealth<\/p>\n

\n

Gonna see you in the dark<\/p>\n

Gonna feel you in the night<\/p>\n

Gonna take my love for you<\/p>\n

And choose to fly or fight<\/p>\n

Gonna check my memory<\/p>\n

Gonna see if love was right<\/p>\n

Gonna Fly<\/em><\/p>\n

The rain comes down<\/p>\n

The sun it shines<\/p>\n

Gonna Fly<\/em><\/p>\n

Rainbows are travelling<\/p>\n

Around my mind<\/p>\n

Gonna live without your love<\/p>\n

For evermore<\/p>\n

There are two alternative versions of this,\u00a0a cut down one (version 7)<\/a>

On The Side Of Many Trees Idea 120<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I’ve been this way before<\/p>\n

Been through these hills<\/p>\n

I’ve seen the maps<\/p>\n

And I’ve taken the pills<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve read the words<\/p>\n

That you sent to me<\/p>\n

I carved them out<\/p>\n

On the side of many trees<\/p>\n

\n

And you tell me that it’s time to go<\/p>\n

And you don’t know if you know<\/p>\n

And you walk the darkest way<\/p>\n

And you dance away that way<\/p>\n

And you want to play this song<\/p>\n

But you want to go<\/p>\n

You don’t know if you know<\/p>\n

And it’s time for me to show the way<\/p>\n

Gonna run today<\/p>\n

Gonna take my life away<\/p>\n

Gonna run to you<\/p>\n

But I find you’re gone<\/p>\n

And the road goes on<\/p>\n

\n

I’m not sure if you<\/p>\n

Meant it to be this way<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if you’re sure<\/p>\n

It’ll stay this way<\/p>\n

\n

But the time has gone away<\/p>\n

I watch you walk away<\/p>\n

The sun sets<\/p>\n

On this long and lonely day<\/p>\n

\n

Dot to dot across the stars Idea 121<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

Well the world’s going by past my window<\/p>\n

Don’t know where you are girl<\/p>\n

Nothing I want to know<\/p>\n

Everybody’s looking in at me<\/p>\n

So I smile at them<\/p>\n

Sun is shining on the TV<\/p>\n

So are my friends<\/p>\n

And the sun falls down on my window<\/p>\n

And lights softly come to be<\/p>\n

I draw upon the night sky<\/p>\n

Dot to dot across the stars<\/p>\n

Romantic pictures of me and you<\/p>\n

\n

And the love you took<\/p>\n

Has now safely arrived<\/p>\n

And the photos that I took<\/p>\n

Are coming alive<\/p>\n

But the tears that fell<\/p>\n

Have made their way to the sea<\/p>\n

And the way we used to be is not how it’s going to be<\/p>\n

Our love was found so it we buried it underground<\/p>\n

In time this in this world<\/p>\n

I know that it’ll be found<\/p>\n

If you see me here<\/p>\n

Then I guess one day I’ll be there<\/p>\n

And if you see me here then I guess<\/p>\n

One day I maybe there<\/p>\n

\n

The moon is brightly lit in the night sky<\/p>\n

I mean the light sky<\/p>\n

The moon is lit and I think I know why<\/p>\n

But other times are coming<\/p>\n

So I’d better walk away<\/p>\n

And if I find you here<\/p>\n

Then maybe I’ll stay<\/p>\n

\n

Turns that make me blind Idea 121b<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

Running past my window and you look at me<\/p>\n

Everybody’s smiling at the way we used to be<\/p>\n

But the trouble is that time has moved on<\/p>\n

And you have gone<\/p>\n

And I smile at empty spaces<\/p>\n

Where our love used to be<\/p>\n

\n

And the moon’s in the sky<\/p>\n

And I don’t know why<\/p>\n

Because the sun still shines<\/p>\n

But I guess this road has taken<\/p>\n

Turns that make me blind<\/p>\n

\n

And our love will go and I can’t say anything to you<\/p>\n

And anything I do will be misconstrued<\/p>\n

But at the chance of finding ways to be free<\/p>\n

I lay my gifts upon your feet and stories<\/p>\n

And you know the way has gone<\/p>\n

I don’t like the way you hear my song<\/p>\n

I don’t care if sounds like you used to be<\/p>\n

Cos there once was me<\/p>\n

There used to be you and me<\/p>\n

\n

Well I’m spreading my wings and flying high<\/p>\n

Look down below from my moon in the sunny sky<\/p>\n

See you walk alone past my window looking in<\/p>\n

Called you but you can’t hear a thing<\/p>\n

\n

But my love it travels through the times<\/p>\n

I know one day you’ll find it there<\/p>\n

In the corner of your mind<\/p>\n

Somewhere you left it behind<\/p>\n

In the corner of your mind<\/p>\n

Somewhere you left it behind<\/p>\n

Round And Round Original Idea 122<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Riding the wheel going round<\/p>\n

Listening to the same sound going round<\/p>\n

I’m watching it spin I’m thinking about everything<\/p>\n

I need to know if it’s time to stay or go<\/p>\n

\n

Watching the wheel turn<\/p>\n

Watching the sun turn<\/p>\n

I’m watching the telephone<\/p>\n

And I wait for your return<\/p>\n

\n

And my love is shining through<\/p>\n

And you don’t know what to do<\/p>\n

And I’m going to take you<\/p>\n

And I know you’re going to go now<\/p>\n

\n

In The Lovely Night Idea 123<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

In the lovely night I saw your eyes call to me<\/p>\n

Take me dancing and you set me free<\/p>\n

And your love came to me<\/p>\n

Through stormy nights<\/p>\n

Took my hand and stole the light<\/p>\n

But your love has gone and you want my song for you<\/p>\n

And you love the song but my heart is untrue<\/p>\n

And the crowds throw confetti upon the whispered words you said<\/p>\n

But now all remains is an empty bed<\/p>\n

And the sun it shines upon the sheets upon which you lay<\/p>\n

And upon the promises we made<\/p>\n

But your love has gone away and time stands still<\/p>\n

And the cars drive by at will<\/p>\n

And the confetti is strewn along the street<\/p>\n

And the place where once I placed a kiss upon your feet<\/p>\n

\n

They assured me from the glass doors that you ran through<\/p>\n

They assured me from a place that I thought true<\/p>\n

And there’s no safe place for me to run<\/p>\n

And there’s no safe place for me to find where our love begun<\/p>\n

That’s where the sickly maestro said you would become<\/p>\n

And the love we had I no longer know<\/p>\n

And the low lies low on the streets below<\/p>\n

\n

A Witness To Everything Idea 124<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

You dance through doorways with a smile on your face<\/p>\n

You ingratiate yourself to everyone in the place<\/p>\n

And after you’re done<\/p>\n

You pull out your<\/p>\n

You take the rings first<\/p>\n

Then you take everything<\/p>\n

Then you walk upstairs<\/p>\n

And tell of your affairs<\/p>\n

Lying naked underneath the chairs<\/p>\n

Then you write upon the wall<\/p>\n

\u201cLove will conquer all\u201d<\/p>\n

And you think about a cigarette<\/p>\n

\n

Then you dress as a maid<\/p>\n

And steal from your victim’s grave<\/p>\n

You lie upon the ground and smoke your cigarette<\/p>\n

Then you smile at the pain you breed<\/p>\n

Then you poison everyone<\/p>\n

And you have so much fun<\/p>\n

Then you concede<\/p>\n

The articles you read<\/p>\n

That tell of your misadventure<\/p>\n

Then you conceive<\/p>\n

Everything you read is<\/p>\n

Everything you’ll ever need<\/p>\n

And the plot thickens with everyone you kill<\/p>\n

Till eventually you’ve had your fill<\/p>\n

And you walk around<\/p>\n

Upon hallowed ground<\/p>\n

And you look for adventure<\/p>\n

But I am gone<\/p>\n

With the words of this song<\/p>\n

A witness to everything<\/p>\n

That was wrong<\/p>\n

The Unsympathetic Song Idea 125<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

All you people who’ve had it tough<\/p>\n

I’ve had enough of your tears and fears and the way you like to spin on<\/p>\n

All you people who’ve had it tough<\/p>\n

I’d like to make it clear I’ve had enough of your fear<\/p>\n

It’s time for you to move on<\/p>\n

Stop spreading your poison amongst us<\/p>\n

Start to grow<\/p>\n

Let yourself be happy<\/p>\n

You know you could be<\/p>\n

Read the books that’ll help you<\/p>\n

Look for the truth<\/p>\n

Understand that you are trying to use me<\/p>\n

Abuse me<\/p>\n

All you people who come my way<\/p>\n

I’d like to say<\/p>\n

It’s time for you to learn to play<\/p>\n

Stop playing with my heart<\/p>\n

Start a life that could be yours<\/p>\n

Keep out of closed doors<\/p>\n

Open your heart<\/p>\n

The way that your love runs to me<\/p>\n

Cos I’m gonna tell you now<\/p>\n

That your heart is in the ground<\/p>\n

And your love is spilling down<\/p>\n

You want to die<\/p>\n

You want to cry<\/p>\n

Rainy days without you here is a thing that we don’t fear<\/p>\n

And I want to feel you close<\/p>\n

I want to know you most<\/p>\n

And I don’t know why you want to run<\/p>\n

When there’s so much time for fun<\/p>\n

And all you people who want to laugh<\/p>\n

There’s always room for you to pass<\/p>\n

And all you people who run<\/p>\n

Spinning the web you spun<\/p>\n

It’s time to come<\/p>\n

And let your love in<\/p>\n

Let your love begin<\/p>\n

Let everybody try to love you<\/p>\n

Let everyone connect with you<\/p>\n

All you people who want to run<\/p>\n

All you victims who’ve had it done<\/p>\n

It’s time to forgive and understand<\/p>\n

That all those people who did what they did<\/p>\n

Were victims too<\/p>\n

Spitting it out on you<\/p>\n

\n

All you people who want to run it’s time to see the spells you spun<\/p>\n

Just one on one, doing what was done<\/p>\n

And the only way out is forgiveness and understanding<\/p>\n

And all you people who want to cry<\/p>\n

And all you people who want to die<\/p>\n

You can choose to be happy<\/p>\n

You can choose to be friendly<\/p>\n

You can choose to love me<\/p>\n

You can choose to be true<\/p>\n

You can choose not to be blue<\/p>\n

It’s up to you<\/p>\n

Well The Secrets You Keep Idea 126<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Well the secrets you keep<\/p>\n

They don’t tell me well<\/p>\n

And the lies I like to tell you<\/p>\n

Are taking us to hell<\/p>\n

\n

And if you know my way<\/p>\n

Then you’ll bring my heart to bear<\/p>\n

And if you don’t know my way<\/p>\n

I guess you don’t care<\/p>\n

\n

But the people you’re in with are lying to your soul<\/p>\n

I don’t know and I don’t see you anymore<\/p>\n

But a click on the window and you see me crying<\/p>\n

And I take you down a lighter way<\/p>\n

\n

And every time you see me come and go<\/p>\n

I can take you any day<\/p>\n

Love it says it conquers all but I don’t really know<\/p>\n

Cos you turn that switch on and off<\/p>\n

And I feel my fall<\/p>\n

\n

But the tears they cry in the night<\/p>\n

But you don’t care if they fall<\/p>\n

And you don’t know if it’s there for me to see you<\/p>\n

In the cold light<\/p>\n

\n

The calling light that’s at night<\/p>\n

That’s the time it comes alive<\/p>\n

But my heart is calling you every time you fall<\/p>\n

I don’t know, I can’t go, I can’t sing to you<\/p>\n

\n

I can’t sing to you<\/p>\n

I can’t sing<\/p>\n

Anymore, anymore,<\/p>\n

Every Time You Walk Away Idea 127<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

These are the words from a jam session with Steve Dumelow which though very confused formed the main building blocks for the song \u201cYou And Me\u201d listed above.<\/p>\n

\n

Every time you walk away<\/p>\n

My love comes<\/p>\n

You know what’s going to go<\/p>\n

Here they come<\/p>\n

Going high<\/p>\n

Going there<\/p>\n

Gonna lie down away here today<\/p>\n

Everybody sings with me<\/p>\n

Everybody loves away<\/p>\n

Cry now<\/p>\n

\n

Beware<\/p>\n

The time is coming the time is leaving<\/p>\n

Everybody knows just how to play<\/p>\n

How to pray<\/p>\n

\n

Away today<\/p>\n

Go to sea today<\/p>\n

Every body loves the way you call<\/p>\n

When you fall<\/p>\n

\n

And love can come and love can go<\/p>\n

And every time you see me come<\/p>\n

I can’t pay your hearts desire<\/p>\n

And I know what will happen tonight<\/p>\n

Cos every time you go away<\/p>\n

I can sing love keeps coming to me<\/p>\n

Walk away<\/p>\n

You play the day<\/p>\n

You’re gonna come<\/p>\n

You play the gun<\/p>\n

And I know just what way to go<\/p>\n

But you don’t know<\/p>\n

Every time you come to me<\/p>\n

I know that treason will be free<\/p>\n

Betrayed by me<\/p>\n

Every time you walk away<\/p>\n

My love will pay with someone else’s heart<\/p>\n

You know that I can see you walk away<\/p>\n

With everything<\/p>\n

And every time you go away<\/p>\n

My love can come<\/p>\n

And say no more to you<\/p>\n

Kiss the blues<\/p>\n

Start to use<\/p>\n

Je t’accuse<\/p>\n

We’re going to lose our way<\/p>\n

Wait And Wait Original Idea 130<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The following lyrics were ad-libbed in a jam session with Steve Dumelow. Nearly al the lyrics, vocal melodies and music formed the basis of \u201cWait And Wait\u201d above.<\/p>\n

\n

A room with a view<\/p>\n

Funny what time did to you<\/p>\n

Dance some thoughts round your place<\/p>\n

Sunshine on your face<\/p>\n

Take off your threadbare clothes<\/p>\n

And show me your lace<\/p>\n

The wind blows to cue<\/p>\n

And I hold your hand and say I love you<\/p>\n

The truth is funny how it times your love to go<\/p>\n

The truth is funny how it wants you to know<\/p>\n

Love is like trees growing out of the sea<\/p>\n

One bad storm and<\/p>\n

It’s the end of you and me<\/p>\n

And you know the time is coming<\/p>\n

And you know the job ain’t done<\/p>\n

And you look at me through broken eyes<\/p>\n

That looked in to the sun<\/p>\n

Everybody’s twisting round<\/p>\n

Waving their hands to the ground<\/p>\n

And your love is cooling me<\/p>\n

And your love is fooling me<\/p>\n

And your love is coming to me out of the night<\/p>\n

Holding me tight<\/p>\n

Singing my songs<\/p>\n

Knowing if it was or wasn’t wrong<\/p>\n

Didn’t you know if things are right<\/p>\n

They’ll be kept out of sight<\/p>\n

Didn’t you know the way they tell you love is blind<\/p>\n

Didn’t they know the things you hear have to be signed<\/p>\n

And the wind it blows right on cue<\/p>\n

And the love we hold is not for me and you<\/p>\n

And I watch you walk away through times of golden sun<\/p>\n

And I watch you sail away when I know the job ain’t done<\/p>\n

But your love is fading<\/p>\n

High and low thoughts in my mind<\/p>\n

Gonna take you here<\/p>\n

Take you there<\/p>\n

And never gonna leave you behind<\/p>\n

Love is restless<\/p>\n

Love is pure<\/p>\n

Love is dirty when you’re not sure<\/p>\n

Love is jealous when you are blind<\/p>\n

To the truth of what’s behind<\/p>\n

Don’t you know the things we said<\/p>\n

Can leave you lying dead<\/p>\n

Don’t you know the things you do<\/p>\n

Can take the life from me and you<\/p>\n

And you’re walking hand in hand<\/p>\n

Through nights of red and gold<\/p>\n

And you’re walking to the end of the film<\/p>\n

Where we grow old<\/p>\n

Wait And Wait Original Second Part Idea 131<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

Can see a long way out to sea today<\/p>\n

The waves wash upon my love<\/p>\n

The wind it blows warm on my face in this place where you and I stood<\/p>\n

And the clouds are spreading slowly across the sky<\/p>\n

Look out my window and I see the pace where you cry<\/p>\n

Didn’t know our love was dying<\/p>\n

And didn’t know you would go<\/p>\n

But my love is here<\/p>\n

And somewhere our show goes on<\/p>\n

Slow boat to loving and<\/p>\n

You keep my heart<\/p>\n

Couldn’t tell which way was out<\/p>\n

But I now see we had to part<\/p>\n

And your love it smiles<\/p>\n

And whistles all the while<\/p>\n

And takes me a long way long way long<\/p>\n

Get on your knees and beg me to forgive your ways<\/p>\n

Get on your knees and let me watch you play<\/p>\n

I’ll fight for my imaginary friend if you fight for yours<\/p>\n

And when you’re ready<\/p>\n

I’ll balance on the floor<\/p>\n

Kiss me, own me, love me,<\/p>\n

Take away the smile<\/p>\n

And in Connecticut<\/p>\n

I’ll let you run wild<\/p>\n

You driving miles and miles<\/p>\n

Across the sea<\/p>\n

But I won’t be there for you<\/p>\n

And you won’t be there for me<\/p>\n

And it’s time to roll away the stone and wish I was alone<\/p>\n

It’s time to hold everybody<\/p>\n

Know which way to go<\/p>\n

Take my heart<\/p>\n

Take my heart<\/p>\n

Take my heart<\/p>\n

Every body wants a part<\/p>\n

Dance with me<\/p>\n

Dance with me<\/p>\n

Drink and lay<\/p>\n

And dance and die with me<\/p>\n

Push backwards against me<\/p>\n

Push your breasts against me<\/p>\n

And feel my heart a coming out to love you<\/p>\n

Gonna take my heart today<\/p>\n

Go to bed<\/p>\n

Gonna say<\/p>\n

Gonna take my love away<\/p>\n

Gonna see that love has gone<\/p>\n

Gone, gone away<\/p>\n

Gone away<\/p>\n

And go girl baby come with me<\/p>\n

Love it coming out to see<\/p>\n

And every time you walking my way<\/p>\n

I’m going to sing<\/p>\n

Well the wind is blowing<\/p>\n

And the lights are flashing high in the sky<\/p>\n

And you take my love and me<\/p>\n

And I can sing and don’t know why<\/p>\n

Every time you come to me our love shines<\/p>\n

Every time a train goes by<\/p>\n

I’m feeling blind<\/p>\n

Standing in a phone box singing tales of woe and blow<\/p>\n

Exchange your money for the things that you don’t know<\/p>\n

And the adverts blow upon the wind in the rain<\/p>\n

And you come and lie by me again and again<\/p>\n

Forces come and go to tell my love to go every where<\/p>\n

I don’t care<\/p>\n

And the adverts flying high in the sky<\/p>\n

And the adverts fly high<\/p>\n

In the sky<\/p>\n

And an old man runs by<\/p>\n

The woman starts to cry<\/p>\n

Every time you see me<\/p>\n

You’re waving from the train goodbye<\/p>\n

Love comes up on the sky<\/p>\n

Limp to the door<\/p>\n

And sleep upon the floor tonight<\/p>\n

And your love comes and goes<\/p>\n

And your love comes and goes<\/p>\n

And everybody wants to know<\/p>\n

Hold me tight<\/p>\n

Let me write<\/p>\n

Everybody’s gone tonight<\/p>\n

Everybody’s going to fight<\/p>\n

Idea 138<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I’m watching the storm on my TV<\/p>\n

Look out the window at the rain<\/p>\n

Birds fly down<\/p>\n

Sitting on the ground where we last sat in the rain<\/p>\n

Watch the wind blow<\/p>\n

As I look in your eyes<\/p>\n

You close down and sleep<\/p>\n

You turn away and I feel the love you feel for me<\/p>\n

I see you smiling in the puddles of the sky<\/p>\n

I don’t know why you go<\/p>\n

\n

The trees are blowing in the wind<\/p>\n

The clouds are flying by<\/p>\n

The TV’s going and the radio’s a blast<\/p>\n

Everybody’s flying by everyone wants to know<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t let it slip away don’t let it go<\/p>\n

Come the wind and the snow<\/p>\n

\n

The flowers are blooming<\/p>\n

\n

The waves are washing on the sea<\/p>\n

\n

I don’t know I can’t see<\/p>\n

\n

But your love is turning in the wind<\/p>\n

Like a bird that’s coming home to stay<\/p>\n

I can feel you here next to me<\/p>\n

A thousand miles away<\/p>\n

But I don’t know if it’s time<\/p>\n

\n

Come to me and take my hand, my love, my song<\/p>\n

Come to me and take this story what went wrong<\/p>\n

You come to me upon the lights upon the ground<\/p>\n

There’s no sound<\/p>\n

It’s not loud<\/p>\n

You lie across my sofa and you smile<\/p>\n

You turn the numbers on my dial<\/p>\n

You look at me and whistle all the while away<\/p>\n

I won’t stay<\/p>\n

I won’t pray<\/p>\n

\n

All the rain upon the floor brushes on my feet no more<\/p>\n

The cars go by and the planes up in the sky<\/p>\n

I don’t know I can’t sing I can’t tell you everything<\/p>\n

But I know you love to come, be with me,<\/p>\n

So hold your breast against my heart<\/p>\n

Take this love back to the start<\/p>\n

Hold my hand and make me smile all the while<\/p>\n

I can’t die keep the style everybody knows the way<\/p>\n

And I can’t sing and I can’t go and I can’t go my heart today<\/p>\n

And I don’t know the way you’re going to keep my lovin’<\/p>\n

Everybody gonna know gonna go gonna take that love to soul<\/p>\n

Gonna take my love to keep my heart<\/p>\n

Everybody knows<\/p>\n

And I can’t sing and I can’t ring and I can’t tell you everything<\/p>\n

And don’t know if this will go<\/p>\n

Gonna take my everything<\/p>\n

And I don’t know.<\/p>\n

In the middle of your life I’ll find you<\/p>\n

In the middle of your life I’ll find truth<\/p>\n

\n

In the middle of your death I’ll know the way<\/p>\n

In the middle of my dying I will play<\/p>\n

In the middle of your life I’ll sing this way<\/p>\n

In the middle of my dying I will keep you away<\/p>\n

\n

In the middle of the night<\/p>\n

In the middle of your dreams<\/p>\n

In the middle of a storm we sing<\/p>\n

\n

In the middle of the way we make love<\/p>\n

I will kiss you and tell you I love you<\/p>\n

In the middle of the night<\/p>\n

\n

In the middle of your breath I’ll kiss you<\/p>\n

In the middle of the way we dance we’re true<\/p>\n

In the middle of the words I say to you<\/p>\n

In the middle of my life I find you<\/p>\n

\n

\n

In the middle of the things we do and say<\/p>\n

In the middle of the visions that come our way<\/p>\n

In the middle of the journeys we’re meant to see<\/p>\n

In the middle of a crisis<\/p>\n

Our peace be with me<\/p>\n

Other lyrics from 2009<\/h3>\n

\n

Going to taste you<\/p>\n

Wind blows the leaves<\/p>\n

You walk hand in hand<\/p>\n

While birds lie in a field<\/p>\n

Till the rain has passed<\/p>\n

Dogs are walking<\/p>\n

Painted skin<\/p>\n

Hand outstretched means everything<\/p>\n

Kissing in the car<\/p>\n

Words Of Truth Idea 112<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Tonight falls gently<\/p>\n

Tonight calls to you<\/p>\n

And me<\/p>\n

Tonight falls<\/p>\n

\n

Purple and blue<\/p>\n

Mist around you<\/p>\n

\n

Our love<\/p>\n

Falls upon your heart<\/p>\n

Our love<\/p>\n

Calls me<\/p>\n

\n

The history of your dreams<\/p>\n

Calls out to me<\/p>\n

\n

The mystery of your dreams<\/p>\n

Lies sleeping by your body<\/p>\n

\n

The armour of my heart<\/p>\n

It flies and cries to you<\/p>\n

\n

Golden beams across the bay<\/p>\n

Twinkle through the night<\/p>\n

To greet the day<\/p>\n

\n

Your hair falls<\/p>\n

Your eyes call<\/p>\n

And lies upon the dreams<\/p>\n

That I fall for<\/p>\n

\n

Did you come to me with<\/p>\n

Words I don’t believe<\/p>\n

With dreams aimed to<\/p>\n

Deceive me<\/p>\n

\n

Is the word of truth here to stay<\/p>\n

Or did the words like dreams<\/p>\n

Fall away<\/p>\n

\n

Or did the word of truth<\/p>\n

Fall away<\/p>\n

Fall away<\/p>\n

Sweet As Time Idea 111<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

You ride past on your bicycle<\/p>\n

Waving me goodbye<\/p>\n

Don’t want to see the sea today<\/p>\n

Just want to sit inside<\/p>\n

The sun beats upon you<\/p>\n

And upon your dreams<\/p>\n

Things that I forgot to<\/p>\n

Tell you don’t seem what they seem<\/p>\n

Every time you wave goodbye<\/p>\n

I won’t bat my eye<\/p>\n

Every time you wave at me I don’t see the sea<\/p>\n

The times are pulling in to today<\/p>\n

People stay home<\/p>\n

Don’t want to play<\/p>\n

Every body’s pulling<\/p>\n

To their love<\/p>\n

That died<\/p>\n

Every one knows what’s coming outside<\/p>\n

You fly by in your jet<\/p>\n

Part of the jet set<\/p>\n

And I just stay at home<\/p>\n

Singing songs alone<\/p>\n

And you tell me<\/p>\n

Your secrets<\/p>\n

And I keep them safe<\/p>\n

And the time is here<\/p>\n

Where I can hear<\/p>\n

You outside of my place<\/p>\n

The telephone set rings<\/p>\n

The birds they sing<\/p>\n

The sun beats down upon my life<\/p>\n

Of remembering<\/p>\n

And your body’s layed out on my table<\/p>\n

Tanned and wet from the sea<\/p>\n

I kiss your stomach<\/p>\n

I kiss your thighs<\/p>\n

I kiss you where you want me to be<\/p>\n

And every time I kiss you<\/p>\n

You wave at me<\/p>\n

And every time you wave<\/p>\n

I feel you move away from me<\/p>\n

I feel you move away from me<\/p>\n

\n

And now you’re on all fours<\/p>\n

Knocking on my door<\/p>\n

I walk to you<\/p>\n

I walk the way we walked before<\/p>\n

\n

And every time you wave<\/p>\n

It’s like your dream<\/p>\n

But it don’t seem to be the<\/p>\n

Dreams that used to be<\/p>\n

\n

And every time you call upon my door<\/p>\n

I kiss you and I stroke you<\/p>\n

As you stand upon all fours<\/p>\n

\n

I kiss your body this way<\/p>\n

I kiss your body that way<\/p>\n

But no body come to kiss me<\/p>\n

The way we kissed before<\/p>\n

\n

In the sun your body shines one last time<\/p>\n

In the sun your body tastes sweet as time<\/p>\n

Got my mind running in circles<\/p>\n

Round your feet and your legs<\/p>\n

Got my mind running to the time that we met<\/p>\n

Every time you see me come<\/p>\n

Every time you cry<\/p>\n

I’ve got my mind singing songs<\/p>\n

Singing goodbye<\/p>\n

Every time you look at me<\/p>\n

Makes me come your way<\/p>\n

Every time you time you touch me<\/p>\n

Makes e want to stray<\/p>\n

With your love girl<\/p>\n

With your love girl<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve got my mind on kissed that you left<\/p>\n

At the door<\/p>\n

I’ve got my mind running up your body<\/p>\n

And your flaw<\/p>\n

I’ve got my mind on you<\/p>\n

And nothing else will do<\/p>\n

I’ve got my mind<\/p>\n

Singing sweetly<\/p>\n

Twisted thoughts of you<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve got my kisses softly touching the corner of your mouth<\/p>\n

I’ve got your eyes looking at mine<\/p>\n

Got you when you’re just about to shout<\/p>\n

You come to me and I’m filled with desires for you<\/p>\n

I’ve got my mind singing thoughts of what I want to do<\/p>\n

\n

If you come to me<\/p>\n

Come to me<\/p>\n

You’ve got my mind<\/p>\n

Singing thoughts of how we used to be<\/p>\n

Will you gently roll around<\/p>\n

My mind<\/p>\n

Will you come to me<\/p>\n

Will you hold me to this time<\/p>\n

Pin me to your mind<\/p>\n

Let me dream of you<\/p>\n

Feel you wrapped around me til it’s the end of me and you<\/p>\n

I’ve got my mind singing thoughts<\/p>\n

Got them forgetting you<\/p>\n

Got them getting you<\/p>\n

Begetting you<\/p>\n

Begetting<\/p>\n

Be getting you.<\/p>\n

The Chemistry Of Tears<\/strong><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

The rhythm of the seasons call<\/p>\n

Upon the shadows on my wall<\/p>\n

\n

As I wait for the phone to ring<\/p>\n

I feel the thoughts hurting<\/p>\n

\n

But the times they come to me are sharing tears<\/p>\n

And the time we visited Galilee last year<\/p>\n

And the sun it calls over prison walls<\/p>\n

And the time you loved me<\/p>\n

Will recall what I first saw and<\/p>\n

This is the geology of our love<\/p>\n

A fault line through my heart<\/p>\n

And the shingle of your tears<\/p>\n

Resounds to me for a million years<\/p>\n

\n

I wave at you across the canyon<\/p>\n

You shoot a starry look at me<\/p>\n

And say that this was a place<\/p>\n

Where once they’d been a sea<\/p>\n

And on dry land star fish come to me<\/p>\n

\n

But the times they come to me are tearing tears<\/p>\n

And the time we visited Galilee last year<\/p>\n

The bullet it landed here and made a mark upon the wall<\/p>\n

This where the body came to fall<\/p>\n

\n

Instrumental<\/p>\n

\n

This is the time of my life<\/p>\n

And this is a photo where<\/p>\n

You once were my wife<\/p>\n

This is the weapon<\/p>\n

This is the song<\/p>\n

This is the reason why it went wrong<\/p>\n

And this is the chemistry of<\/p>\n

This is the biology<\/p>\n

This is the psychology of goodbye<\/p>\n

The Place Where The People Meet \u2013 Idea 108<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome to my humble house, friend<\/p>\n

This is a where I choose to live<\/p>\n

Cigarettes are left outside<\/p>\n

Shoes can be worn<\/p>\n

Magazines lay unread and un-torn<\/p>\n

\n

Welcome to the town I live in<\/p>\n

It’s been a sunny here for years<\/p>\n

But there’s a lake outside of town<\/p>\n

Which the locals fill it with their fears<\/p>\n

\n

And the waves they’re a crashing on our front doors<\/p>\n

But we don’t care \u2018cause we’re tall<\/p>\n

And the storm it comes and goes every year<\/p>\n

And I don’t know which way to run<\/p>\n

\n

So lay across my bed my sweet one<\/em><\/p>\n

I will stroke you \u2018til you sleep<\/em><\/p>\n

And as you dream I’ll take your tears<\/em><\/p>\n

And your fears<\/em><\/p>\n

To the lake where the locals meet<\/em><\/p>\n

Where the locals meet<\/em><\/p>\n

Where the locals sleep<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Mid 8<\/p>\n

\n

So welcome to my house<\/p>\n

This is the place that I was born<\/p>\n

This is the place where magazines go un-torn<\/p>\n

And unread<\/p>\n

Lay across my bed<\/p>\n

The animals are happy and are fed<\/p>\n

\n

So this is the town where I come from<\/p>\n

The lights go out at midnight<\/p>\n

So if you’re out and about<\/p>\n

It’s hard to find your way home<\/p>\n

And so alone<\/p>\n

\n

And this is the place where my fears grow stronger<\/p>\n

With every candle that I light<\/p>\n

And this is the place where I live, longer<\/p>\n

If I go to bed at night<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

So lay across my bed my sweet one<\/em><\/p>\n

I will stroke you \u2018til you sleep<\/em><\/p>\n

And as you dream I’ll take your tears<\/em><\/p>\n

And your fears<\/em><\/p>\n

To the lake where the locals meet<\/em><\/p>\n

Where the locals weep<\/em><\/p>\n

Where the locals sleep<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s where you’re weak<\/p>\n

That’s where we’re in deep<\/p>\n

With the secrets I keep<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

So this is where my dreams come to<\/p>\n

I leave them here for you<\/p>\n

And when I’m long gone<\/p>\n

You’ll listen to my song<\/p>\n

And you’ll know my dream was true<\/p>\n

And you’ll know my dream was for you<\/p>\n

And you’ll know my dream came true<\/p>\n

And you’ll listen to my songs all night long<\/p>\n

And you’ll know I wasn’t always wrong<\/p>\n

Well These Times They’ve Changed Me Idea 107<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Well these times they’ve changed me<\/p>\n

Used to feel happy<\/p>\n

Now I wake up down<\/p>\n

And you say my face does frown<\/p>\n

Everybody I’m not like I used to be<\/p>\n

The way you want me to be<\/p>\n

Well this lady she’s changed me<\/p>\n

I used to be care-free<\/p>\n

But now I’m down<\/p>\n

Now I walk around with a frown<\/p>\n

And I’m no longer the way I used to be<\/p>\n

\n

But now those times have changed<\/p>\n

And re-arranged my personal diary<\/p>\n

And the times have changed me<\/p>\n

Don’t want to be<\/p>\n

\n

And I want to run<\/p>\n

And I want to fly<\/p>\n

And I want to kiss your ass good-bye<\/p>\n

And I want to drive<\/p>\n

Around and around<\/p>\n

And get to meet you in the town<\/p>\n

\n

Well the flights flicker in the distance<\/p>\n

The storm is coming so they say<\/p>\n

I walk along the streets<\/p>\n

Paved in the prayers you told me<\/p>\n

Now it’s just not the way it used to be<\/p>\n

And the time it changes me<\/p>\n

And I don’t want it to drift upon me<\/p>\n

So slowly it passes over me<\/p>\n

To change me<\/p>\n

To change me<\/p>\n

I saw you at the window<\/p>\n

Dancing real slow<\/p>\n

Couldn’t see me<\/p>\n

Down below<\/p>\n

Night is falling<\/p>\n

My heart’s calling<\/p>\n

Night is calling<\/p>\n

And my heart is falling for you<\/p>\n

You didn’t see me<\/p>\n

Waiting by the phone<\/p>\n

You didn’t see me reading<\/p>\n

At night alone<\/p>\n

But the sky is falling<\/p>\n

And my heart is calling<\/p>\n

And the night is falling for you<\/p>\n

You didn’t see me<\/p>\n

Walking away<\/p>\n

You didn’t see me<\/p>\n

Trying to play<\/p>\n

I was falling<\/p>\n

You weren’t calling<\/p>\n

And the night is falling away<\/p>\n

You Never Where The Journey Goes<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

You never where the journey goes<\/p>\n

You follow your map<\/p>\n

Follow your nose<\/p>\n

You write down the route<\/p>\n

And go your way<\/p>\n

But one day you’ll come to see<\/p>\n

What I say<\/p>\n

\n

You follow your dreams<\/p>\n

And they break your heart<\/p>\n

You often end up at the place you start<\/p>\n

\n

You follow your nose and you follow your dreams<\/p>\n

You always return to the places you’ve been<\/p>\n

And you fly away and you cry to me<\/p>\n

And you take your dreams and throw them away<\/p>\n

You let yourself flow<\/p>\n

Let your dreams go<\/p>\n

Let the night take you<\/p>\n

Let the day break you<\/p>\n

You don’t know where<\/p>\n

The tears will come to be shed<\/p>\n

You go on about<\/p>\n

What’s right and what’s fair<\/p>\n

You want to know if my love cares<\/p>\n

You want to know of my secret affairs<\/p>\n

You want to feel me in the death of night<\/p>\n

You want to know what’s good and right<\/p>\n

And I said be clever before being right<\/p>\n

And watch me fade in to the night<\/p>\n

And watch your love fade in the light<\/p>\n

And watch your dreams break at the end of the night<\/p>\n

Well the honeymoon is over<\/p>\n

As you look me in my eye<\/p>\n

I want to hold you still<\/p>\n

Want to feel you<\/p>\n

Want to feel your kiss goodbye<\/p>\n

But the times have changed<\/p>\n

And you want me re-arranged<\/p>\n

And you want me to take your love away<\/p>\n

And you want me to stay<\/p>\n

\n

Well the honeymoon is over<\/p>\n

And you want me to go<\/p>\n

I say \u201cDo you love me baby?\u201d<\/p>\n

And you whisper you don’t know<\/p>\n

\n

But the times have changed<\/p>\n

And our love is re-arranged<\/p>\n

And I’m sitting there 1000 miles away<\/p>\n

And I don’t know if you want me<\/p>\n

To go or stay<\/p>\n

But the honeymoon is over today<\/p>\n

\n

Well the little things you did and said<\/p>\n

They just slipped off my bed<\/p>\n

Now you lay along way from me<\/p>\n

And I can’t even get to see<\/p>\n

The look on your face<\/p>\n

Can’t see you no more<\/p>\n

And the honeymoon is over today<\/p>\n

\n

I used to be swimming about<\/p>\n

But the only romance<\/p>\n

Is what you make me watch on TV<\/p>\n

And the you’re wishing it was<\/p>\n

Over to me<\/p>\n

And you wonder<\/p>\n

If I’ll ever get back<\/p>\n

To who you dreamed I’d be<\/p>\n

I’ve Got Nothing to Say<\/p>\n

But nobody’s here<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve got plenty to do<\/p>\n

But I’m unable to move<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve got plenty to say<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve got plenty to do<\/p>\n

And nothing to say<\/p>\n

I’ve got plenty to do<\/p>\n

Got plenty to go away with<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve got plenty to do<\/p>\n

But nothing to feel<\/p>\n

I’ve got plenty to dream<\/p>\n

Cos nothing seems real<\/p>\n

I’ve got plenty to say<\/p>\n

But no one to see<\/p>\n

I’ve got plenty to love<\/p>\n

But I don’t love me<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t love me<\/p>\n

Upon my feet<\/p>\n

You Keep my love girl<\/p>\n

And you run away<\/p>\n

You keep a flying on another day<\/p>\n

And you wanna play<\/p>\n

You keep my love girl<\/p>\n

And you’re gonna play<\/p>\n

She swam in cold water<\/p>\n

To free her soul<\/p>\n

But all she found was a great big hole<\/p>\n

You take my heart and it’s made of clay<\/p>\n

And you walk upon feet of desperate days<\/p>\n

You keep my love girl<\/p>\n

And you wanna play<\/p>\n

Take my life and get away<\/p>\n

But I did your dirty work<\/p>\n

And I did it well<\/p>\n

I can see everything now<\/p>\n

And no one can tell<\/p>\n

Well the truth will tell<\/p>\n

Well it’s the truth to tell<\/p>\n

Well it’s the truth to tell<\/p>\n

You keep my love girl<\/p>\n

And you run away<\/p>\n

And I did it well<\/p>\n

No one can see who did it<\/p>\n

No one can tell<\/p>\n

You keep my love girl<\/p>\n

And you run away<\/p>\n

In Handcuffs You Are Laughing<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In handcuffs you’re laughing as they take you away<\/p>\n

Good luck to you on this sunny day<\/p>\n

Didn’t know that<\/p>\n

That was the way you wanted to go<\/p>\n

Didn’t know<\/p>\n

How you like to run the show<\/p>\n

\n

You’re talking dirty<\/p>\n

And you’re talking mean<\/p>\n

You killed the king<\/p>\n

And you hid the queen<\/p>\n

Take me to the place<\/p>\n

Where you run away<\/p>\n

Take me there<\/p>\n

Until the dark day comes<\/p>\n

\n

Well you wash away the tears<\/p>\n

And you install my fears<\/p>\n

And you like to keep me where<\/p>\n

You want me to stay<\/p>\n

\n

But I’m here<\/p>\n

And I’m full of fear<\/p>\n

And I don’t know<\/p>\n

If you’ll come to take me<\/p>\n

\n

But I’m lying in fear<\/p>\n

And I’m waiting here<\/p>\n

And I’m staying in this place<\/p>\n

Of \u201clife-fear\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

You don’t know<\/p>\n

And you doubt you’ll come today<\/p>\n

And I see you laughing at me<\/p>\n

And I’m holding your memory clear<\/p>\n

And I’m laughing too<\/p>\n

At the paradox of light<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Did You Roll The Ball<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Well I met a girl and I didn’t know the way<\/p>\n

Summertime was when you were going to stay<\/p>\n

Didn’t know why, it wouldn’t work, but I still had to pay<\/p>\n

\n

When you walk through the first door baby<\/p>\n

And you talk of love<\/p>\n

You knew you’d take my heart today<\/p>\n

\n

Did you come<\/p>\n

Did you a run<\/p>\n

Did you see me all alone<\/p>\n

Did you play the part so well<\/p>\n

Did you fall<\/p>\n

Did you call me<\/p>\n

Did you fall<\/p>\n

Did you roll a ball<\/p>\n

Did you see me<\/p>\n

Did you fall.<\/p>\n

\n

I won’t Say Goodbye<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Come and sing<\/p>\n

My heart feels everything<\/p>\n

If you feel like crying<\/p>\n

Don’t hold back<\/p>\n

Let go<\/p>\n

Every time you see me<\/p>\n

I don’t if I’m real<\/p>\n

Don’t if I feel<\/p>\n

Don’t know if I love you<\/p>\n

Don’t know if my heart’s crying<\/p>\n

Don’t know if it’s time to die<\/p>\n

Don’t know if you’re gonna come<\/p>\n

Leave my heart to cry<\/p>\n

Every time you walk my way<\/p>\n

Every time you come to me<\/p>\n

Every time you lift my heart<\/p>\n

It’s the start of dying<\/p>\n

It’s the start of my denying<\/p>\n

It’s the start of you and me<\/p>\n

It’s the start of a life that’s free<\/p>\n

It’s the start of every thing<\/p>\n

Kiss my heart and say goodbye<\/p>\n

Don’t care for the where or why<\/p>\n

Don’t care if I have to try<\/p>\n

Every time you say goodbye<\/p>\n

Now<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

I can feel you<\/p>\n

Go away<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

Every time you hold me close<\/p>\n

It’s goodbye and say goodbye<\/p>\n

I won’t try to say<\/p>\n

Goodbye<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

So every time you hold me close<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

So every time you hold me close<\/p>\n

Every time you hold me close<\/p>\n

I won’t say goodbye<\/p>\n

Every time you hold me close<\/p>\n

I won’t say goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

We’ve been a racing against time<\/p>\n

Don’t know if you’ll be mine<\/p>\n

But my heart, is waiting for you<\/p>\n

And the night time<\/p>\n

Will you be there when I need you<\/p>\n

Will you sing me songs of blue<\/p>\n

Will your setiments be true<\/p>\n

Will you fill me with the deepest and the true<\/p>\n

\n

Blue (\u00a0long\u00a0<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\n

Well I sit in my night chair<\/p>\n

And I hold memories of you<\/p>\n

But the truth<\/p>\n

It’s so hard<\/p>\n

To take sometimes<\/p>\n

That I don’t want to be true to you<\/p>\n

Don’t want to fill you<\/p>\n

With blue<\/p>\n

\n

Blue (\u00a0long\u00a0<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Well the times they come and go<\/p>\n

I think of you and you know<\/p>\n

But the times they will change<\/p>\n

If you stay still<\/p>\n

Or if you’re filled with fear<\/p>\n

Then you’ll never come here<\/p>\n

And feel the blue<\/p>\n

Hip to Waist Ratio<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

18\/09\/2007 Simon Smith London UK<\/p>\n

\n

You dance with strangers\u00a0<\/strong>in places I don’t go<\/p>\n

Walking by you show me your hip and waist ratio<\/p>\n

4 bars<\/em><\/p>\n

You talk of secrets\u00a0<\/strong>that I don’t know<\/p>\n

Your mind’s in places I don’t want to go<\/p>\n

2 bars<\/em><\/p>\n

You’re telling stories\u00a0<\/strong>God wrote on your hands<\/p>\n

But it ain’t love that pulls me to your land<\/p>\n

But my lovin’ it’s so shallow<\/p>\n

When it comes to your hip and waist ratio<\/p>\n

2 bars<\/em><\/p>\n

Your tattooed back\u00a0<\/strong>in front of my eyes<\/p>\n

Oh Baybeeeey I don’t want to go<\/p>\n

To your hip and waist ratio<\/p>\n

Punctuation<\/em><\/p>\n

There’s plenty I could\u00a0teach\u00a0<\/strong>you<\/p>\n

Plenty I could\u00a0say<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plenty I could\u00a0tell\u00a0<\/strong>you<\/p>\n

That’ll make you\u00a0come\u00a0<\/strong>my way<\/p>\n

There’s plenty I’d\u00a0sing\u00a0<\/strong>to you<\/p>\n

Plenty I might\u00a0pray<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Baby all I want to know is your hip to waist ratio<\/p>\n

\n

Something from\u00a0school\u00a0<\/strong>I didn’t learn<\/p>\n

How a ratio can really turn you on<\/p>\n

Did you want me to come and go<\/p>\n

Did you want me to notice your hip and waist ratio<\/p>\n

The Lives Of Ghosts<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

Long time loving always hurts<\/p>\n

The ghosts of dreams that we’ve had<\/p>\n

Around my mind so sad<\/p>\n

I’ve searched the seas to find you<\/p>\n

Knocked on every door<\/p>\n

But I’m not sure if you<\/p>\n

Love me anymore<\/p>\n

And I call to you<\/p>\n

Through the lives of ghosts<\/p>\n

I don’t if I’ll ever<\/p>\n

Know you<\/p>\n

See you<\/p>\n

Touch you<\/p>\n

Or free you<\/p>\n

\n

Long time love has gone<\/p>\n

Don’t know if she’ll hear my song<\/p>\n

I don’t if she’ll come and go<\/p>\n

I don’t know if we’ll ever know<\/p>\n

I don’t if the times<\/p>\n

Will help us find<\/p>\n

Each others minds<\/p>\n

I don’t if the sun will<\/p>\n

Cast our shadows<\/p>\n

Upon the rows of houses that I search<\/p>\n

Upon the pain I feel that hurts<\/p>\n

Upon the streets that shine in Winter time<\/p>\n

Upon the lives we could have had<\/p>\n

In the places where I was so sad<\/p>\n

And bad to you<\/p>\n

\n

But now there all empty of you<\/p>\n

Empty of you<\/p>\n

Empty of you<\/p>\n

Long time loving always hurts<\/p>\n

Well the nights are drawing in<\/p>\n

It’s been a long time since we did sing<\/p>\n

Been a long time since we did anything<\/p>\n

It’s been a long time since I saw you<\/p>\n

Well the night is coming<\/p>\n

And the time is going<\/p>\n

And the times are going away<\/p>\n

Love it comes and goes<\/p>\n

But I’m feeling sad today<\/p>\n

Well cove can come and go<\/p>\n

My heart is clear<\/p>\n

Sometimes I love you baby<\/p>\n

When you’re here<\/p>\n

\n

Ooh Ooh<\/p>\n

\n

Well my friends they’ve been going away<\/p>\n

Been a long time since they did stay<\/p>\n

Don’t know what to do or say<\/p>\n

It’s just the way my life has played<\/p>\n

Don’t know if I should be<\/p>\n

Don’t know if I should be true<\/p>\n

Don’t know if I should be glad if I never see you<\/p>\n

But the time will go<\/p>\n

And my love will fade<\/p>\n

Don’t want to see you go<\/p>\n

But don’t want to have you stay<\/p>\n

\n

Ooh Ooh<\/p>\n

Ooh Ooh<\/p>\n

\n

Well my love comes<\/p>\n

And my love goes<\/p>\n

But sometimes you see me<\/p>\n

Sometimes you feel me<\/p>\n

Sometimes you don’t know.<\/p>\n

Waiting For You \/ Sitting In My Room<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

(c) Simon Smith August 11th 2007<\/p>\n

\n

Well The sun is setting<\/p>\n

And I’m sitting in my room<\/p>\n

Waiting for you to come<\/p>\n

In to my life<\/p>\n

The door is open and the breeze upon my face<\/p>\n

I’m sitting here<\/p>\n

Waiting for you<\/p>\n

\n

\n

I’ve travelled the world<\/p>\n

And I’ve seen a million people<\/p>\n

Who said hello and goodbye to my heart<\/p>\n

The day has come and the night will pass<\/p>\n

Will you come to me<\/p>\n

Well the sun is setting on my woeful days<\/p>\n

I have been paying for the time<\/p>\n

Will you come to me when I will lay<\/p>\n

Will you come to me when I lie down and cry<\/p>\n

The story comes and it leaves me still<\/p>\n

I’ve dreamt of you through the long dark night<\/p>\n

And woke to find you weren’t real<\/p>\n

My soul is searching<\/p>\n

Through the world for you<\/p>\n

Will you come to me?<\/p>\n

\n

\n

My Lies<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

You’ve been reaching out to me<\/p>\n

Through the skies of night<\/p>\n

You’ve been reaching out to me<\/p>\n

But I’ve been out of sight<\/p>\n

Did you fall for me<\/p>\n

Did you believe my story<\/p>\n

Did you see the lights I shone<\/p>\n

Could toy tell they were wrong<\/p>\n

My love ain’t pure<\/p>\n

My love ain’t right<\/p>\n

I’ve been singing songs<\/p>\n

Reaching out through the night<\/p>\n

Did you reach for me<\/p>\n

Through the night<\/p>\n

When I was cold and alone<\/p>\n

Did you reach for me<\/p>\n

When I walked lonely through<\/p>\n

The dark in you<\/p>\n

\n

In your heart is a diamond<\/p>\n

Covered up by my lies<\/p>\n

I’ll take them away<\/p>\n

And I’ll show you the truth<\/p>\n

I want to watch you shine<\/p>\n

For all time<\/p>\n

\n

In your heart is a diamond<\/p>\n

Covered up by my lies<\/p>\n

I’ll take them away<\/p>\n

I’ll show you the truth<\/p>\n

I need to see you shine<\/p>\n

For all time<\/p>\n

\n

Did you reach for me<\/p>\n

In the night time<\/p>\n

Did you seek the truth<\/p>\n

Did you walk with me through dark streets<\/p>\n

Did you feel me use you<\/p>\n

Did you want me to abuse you<\/p>\n

Did you hear me accuse you<\/p>\n

\n

In your heart is a diamond<\/p>\n

Covered up by my lies<\/p>\n

I’ll take them away<\/p>\n

I’ll give you the truth<\/p>\n

I want to see you shine<\/p>\n

For all time<\/p>\n

Alone With You<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\n

The sun it shines hard<\/p>\n

On the bricks of my life<\/p>\n

Long shadows cast upon<\/p>\n

The roads that I follow<\/p>\n

And I’m alone<\/p>\n

Walking with you<\/p>\n

I feel the cold shine on my face<\/p>\n

Used to come to this place<\/p>\n

\n

The sun it shines cold on my heart<\/p>\n

There’s dark rooms where I used to play<\/p>\n

Well the windows are open<\/p>\n

And the curtains start to sway<\/p>\n

Quiet music comes my way<\/p>\n

\n

But I’m alone<\/p>\n

Walking with you<\/p>\n

The sun is bright<\/p>\n

The sky is blue<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI still love you<\/p>\n

I was always there<\/p>\n

I still want you<\/p>\n

But you’re not there<\/p>\n

But you’re not there\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

I used to walk with you<\/p>\n

Through long lonely streets<\/p>\n

Long roads going somewhere<\/p>\n

I aimed to go<\/p>\n

And you stand beside me<\/p>\n

You’re talking at me<\/p>\n

You’re pointing at me<\/p>\n

Going round and round and round<\/p>\n

\n

Well I used to love<\/p>\n

I used to love you<\/p>\n

I used to love you<\/p>\n

But it’s gone so long, so long, so long ago<\/p>\n

I used to love you<\/p>\n

I was always there<\/p>\n

I still love you<\/p>\n

But you’re not there.<\/p>\n

Idea 70 There For You<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

I know you’ve had a hard time<\/p>\n

And now you’re not feeling at all<\/p>\n

Feels like it’ll be here to stay<\/p>\n

But then I know it’ll fade in time<\/p>\n

You know my love is here for you<\/p>\n

\n

One day the pain will go<\/p>\n

And I’ll be there too<\/p>\n

I’ll look back and see this for you<\/p>\n

And you’ll find me waiting<\/p>\n

And if you fall, I will call,<\/p>\n

Waiting for you<\/p>\n

I’ll be there<\/p>\n

Waiting for you<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t need no reward<\/p>\n

Don’t need you come to me<\/p>\n

The pain will fade to the sound of the sea<\/p>\n

And one day<\/p>\n

I’ll look back and see<\/p>\n

That I was right to<\/p>\n

Be there for you<\/p>\n

\n

So if you fall<\/p>\n

I’ll look to you, I’ll know<\/p>\n

You’ll stand and look at me<\/p>\n

You stand so free<\/p>\n

It ain’t my pride, it ain’t some secret inside,<\/p>\n

It ain’t some strategy to keep you tied to me<\/p>\n

\n

And I’ll wait at Heaven’s gate<\/p>\n

If life’s too late, I will wait<\/p>\n

And should you fall, I will call<\/p>\n

Cos you’re my friend, you’re my friend<\/p>\n

And I will wait, I will wait<\/p>\n

\n

And one day in the dark night I will be there<\/p>\n

In the bright sunlight<\/p>\n

And I will be there when the morning rises<\/p>\n

When you get surprised that I love you<\/p>\n

But my love is just for you and will be forevermore<\/p>\n

Forevermore I will wait, I will stay, if you should call<\/p>\n

For that day won’t come too soon<\/p>\n

And the nostalgia I have for the past<\/p>\n

I’ll have for the future too<\/p>\n

I’ll have for the future too<\/p>\n

Fathom<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

I’m trying not to let you go<\/p>\n

I can feel you still want me<\/p>\n

Don’t want you to let me go<\/p>\n

I want you next to me<\/p>\n

\n

I need to see<\/p>\n

If we should be<\/p>\n

Together<\/p>\n

Eternally<\/p>\n

\n

And still can’t fathom that you’re gone<\/p>\n

I still can’t fathom that I’m wrong<\/p>\n

\n

I wake up and I see you looking in to my eyes<\/p>\n

I know that somewhere else you’ll be looking too<\/p>\n

So tell me I’m deluded<\/p>\n

You can’t you know<\/p>\n

So tell me I’m deluded<\/p>\n

But you know I’m true<\/p>\n

\n

And still can’t fathom that you’re gone<\/p>\n

I still can’t fathom that I’m wrong<\/p>\n

\n

We both know our hearts should live and die together<\/p>\n

We both know our parts should play together<\/p>\n

And my friends say that you’ll be back<\/p>\n

But I’ve accepted you’ve gone<\/p>\n

Even though this love’s so strong<\/p>\n

My life feels so wrong<\/p>\n

\n

And still can’t fathom that you’re gone<\/p>\n

I still can’t fathom that I’m wrong<\/p>\n

\n

And still can’t fathom that you’re gone<\/p>\n

I still can’t fathom that I’m wrong<\/p>\n

\n

I still can’t fathom that you’re gone<\/p>\n

I still can’t fathom that I’m wrong<\/p>\n

\n

It’s a cruel twist of this tale<\/p>\n

That all our lives we’ve waited<\/p>\n

And now you’ve gone away<\/p>\n

I’m left with never knowing what’ll be<\/p>\n

\n

And still can’t fathom that you’re gone<\/p>\n

I still can’t fathom that I’m wrong<\/p>\n

\n

I Forgive You<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

So first of all I forgive you<\/p>\n

I might not understand what you do<\/p>\n

But I know<\/p>\n

There’s somewhere<\/p>\n

And deep down you know I care<\/p>\n

So I Forgive You<\/p>\n

For what you do<\/p>\n

I Forgive You<\/p>\n

\n

And mind it goes away<\/p>\n

I pass my problems today<\/p>\n

I stand and I walk away<\/p>\n

Finding somewhere else<\/p>\n

And somebody else<\/p>\n

And something that’s true<\/p>\n

\n

Now I could lay<\/p>\n

I could sleep all day<\/p>\n

A could cry my life away<\/p>\n

But I don’t want to do that to you<\/p>\n

I don’t want punish you<\/p>\n

I want to do what’s true<\/p>\n

What’s right and true<\/p>\n

For both me an you<\/p>\n

\n

So my body may ache<\/p>\n

And my love you may take<\/p>\n

And the promises they maybe mistakes<\/p>\n

And the things I’ve said you forsake<\/p>\n

\n

But I Forgive You<\/p>\n

I know you’ll be true<\/p>\n

I know you’ll say and do<\/p>\n

What you have to do<\/p>\n

\n

I will not lie trapped in the grave<\/p>\n

Of a life that’s made by a mistake<\/p>\n

I will move on to pastures new<\/p>\n

I will try to send my love to you<\/p>\n

I will not fill my heart with hate<\/p>\n

I will not make that same mistake<\/p>\n

I will send my care to you<\/p>\n

I will not tell you what to do<\/p>\n

I can just send you all my love<\/p>\n

And hope you find your way<\/p>\n

I hope you find your way<\/p>\n

Coz I’m moving on today<\/p>\n

It’s Just Goodbye<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Can’t say I didn’t try<\/p>\n

Can’t say I didn’t love you<\/p>\n

Can’t say the truth to you<\/p>\n

\n

There’s no more we<\/p>\n

No more you and me<\/p>\n

No more time together<\/p>\n

There’s no forever<\/p>\n

Just goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

Well the tears<\/p>\n

I hear them fall<\/p>\n

Upon the train you call me<\/p>\n

I feel your pain inside me<\/p>\n

Don’t want to let you go<\/p>\n

Don’t want you to know<\/p>\n

That I don’t want to say goodbye<\/p>\n

But I’ve tried<\/p>\n

\n

There’s no more we<\/p>\n

No more you and me<\/p>\n

No more time together<\/p>\n

There’s no forever<\/p>\n

Just goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

Just Goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

Me and My Friend Lee<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\n

Well me and my friend lee<\/p>\n

Used to drive for miles and miles<\/p>\n

Across town and country<\/p>\n

Just where we would be<\/p>\n

\n

But our time has gone<\/p>\n

We’ve left those journeys<\/p>\n

A long way behind<\/p>\n

Sometimes I look at the maps<\/p>\n

Sometimes they’re so hard to find<\/p>\n

\n

We got chased by the police<\/p>\n

A long, long time ago<\/p>\n

Drove through the mountain pass<\/p>\n

Drove through the snow<\/p>\n

\n

And the light it came up<\/p>\n

So gloriously<\/p>\n

The ties we drove along<\/p>\n

Me and my friend lee<\/p>\n

\n

Did you know the times you have<\/p>\n

Will fall behind<\/p>\n

Did you know the friends you have<\/p>\n

Will grow closer with time<\/p>\n

\n

Me and my friend lee<\/p>\n

We talk on the phone sometimes<\/p>\n

We talk about our future plans<\/p>\n

We leave the past behind<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t want to forget the times<\/p>\n

Don’t want to lose our way<\/p>\n

Wanna went on in our lives<\/p>\n

\n

Me and my friend lee<\/p>\n

We used to be free<\/p>\n

We used to have so much fun<\/p>\n

Used to talk to everyone<\/p>\n

\n

Didn’t know where time would go<\/p>\n

Didn’t fast it’d pass<\/p>\n

Didn’t know what was going on<\/p>\n

Till it was too late for it to last<\/p>\n

\n

Me and my friend lee<\/p>\n

Me and my friend lee<\/p>\n

We used to know how to be<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Today<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Today I’m putting what I need<\/p>\n

In to the hands of fate<\/p>\n

Today I’m gonna trust<\/p>\n

That good things<\/p>\n

Come to those who wait<\/p>\n

\n

Today I’m gonna let you go<\/p>\n

Gonna send you love<\/p>\n

And hope you know<\/p>\n

Today I’m gonna find a way<\/p>\n

To love you in a caring way<\/p>\n

\n

Tomorrow I may find that you’re gone<\/p>\n

And a shadow of our love is long<\/p>\n

I’ll send you a blessing to be happy<\/p>\n

And remember you and me<\/p>\n

I’ll send you love upon your journey<\/p>\n

\n

Though life goes on without you<\/p>\n

I know that my love is true<\/p>\n

I know that I care for you<\/p>\n

I know that you’ll know that too<\/p>\n

\n

And when we’ll be kind<\/p>\n

Cos love like this comes<\/p>\n

Once in a lifetime<\/p>\n

Today I’m gonna find a way<\/p>\n

To love you in a caring way<\/p>\n

\n

Today I’m putting what I need<\/p>\n

In to the hands of fate<\/p>\n

Today I’m gonna trust<\/p>\n

That good things<\/p>\n

Come to those who wait<\/p>\n

\n

This Is The Man<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

Well my television’s on<\/p>\n

And my radios dead<\/p>\n

My phone is lying<\/p>\n

On my bed<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve written in my diary<\/p>\n

All the things you said<\/p>\n

Well this is the place<\/p>\n

Where I was born<\/p>\n

This is the place where<\/p>\n

I killed the man<\/p>\n

This is the place where<\/p>\n

My children call<\/p>\n

And this is a city<\/p>\n

Of the Forlorn<\/p>\n

\n

If I set you free<\/p>\n

I’d walk alone<\/p>\n

But I’d be at home<\/p>\n

And I’d know the way to go<\/p>\n

I won’t know the sun shining<\/p>\n

On me again one day<\/p>\n

And if I let you free<\/p>\n

I know that I might be free too<\/p>\n

And I know that you won’t love me<\/p>\n

\n

Well this is the house where I met the man<\/p>\n

And this is the person who understands<\/p>\n

This is the woman who’ll take my hand<\/p>\n

And this is the bride who makes her plans<\/p>\n

Who makes me stand<\/p>\n

Who makes me a fan<\/p>\n

And I know<\/p>\n

That the time will come<\/p>\n

The time will go<\/p>\n

And other’s will walk<\/p>\n

Through my heart<\/p>\n

And you will come one day to see<\/p>\n

How much you have prayed my way<\/p>\n

And how much time has been between us<\/p>\n

How much love has flowed between us<\/p>\n

And how much time that everybody knows I’ll have to pay<\/p>\n

And I know you’re gonna love me<\/p>\n

\n

Well this is the girl in the magazine<\/p>\n

This is the man who kept me clean<\/p>\n

This is the doctor who I have seen<\/p>\n

This is the woman who mends the seam<\/p>\n

This is the lie that helps me see<\/p>\n

And this is the line that holds the key<\/p>\n

This is the line that’s the end of me<\/p>\n

This is the way it’s meant to be<\/p>\n

Top set me free<\/p>\n

Top deal the plea<\/p>\n

\n

This is the life I take from you<\/p>\n

I’m feeling empty<\/em><\/p>\n

This is the secret of my life<\/p>\n

This is the truth that
\nGod conceals<\/p>\n

This is the secret I tell everyone<\/p>\n

This is the card that I won<\/p>\n

That plays for fun<\/p>\n

That reveals the sun<\/p>\n

Nothing to you<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

And this is the secret of my life<\/p>\n

This is the truth that God conceals<\/p>\n

This is the secret I tell everyone<\/p>\n

This is the card that I won<\/p>\n

That plays for fun<\/p>\n

That reveals the sun<\/p>\n

\n

This is the man who drove me by<\/p>\n

This is the camera<\/p>\n

And this is the eye<\/p>\n

This is the loveless<\/p>\n

Begging me to cry<\/p>\n

This is my mother<\/p>\n

Whispering goodbye<\/p>\n

This is the light upon the wall<\/p>\n

This is the letter that I sent<\/p>\n

These are the words I really meant<\/p>\n

They’re everything you did and said<\/p>\n

That you’d prevent from being read<\/p>\n

Set you free then I’d know<\/em><\/p>\n

That I’d be free too<\/em><\/p>\n

Then you’d love me<\/em><\/p>\n

I know that you will<\/em><\/p>\n

Love me<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

That the time will come<\/p>\n

The time will go<\/p>\n

And other’s will walk<\/p>\n

Through my heart<\/p>\n

And you will come one day to see<\/p>\n

How much you have prayed my way<\/p>\n

And how much time has been between us<\/p>\n

How much love has flowed between us<\/p>\n

And how much time that everybody knows I’ll have to pay<\/p>\n

And I know you’re gonna love me<\/p>\n

Again one day.<\/p>\n

\n

I Won’t Say Goodbye<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Come and sing<\/p>\n

My heart feels everything<\/p>\n

If you feel like crying<\/p>\n

Don’t hold back<\/p>\n

Let go<\/p>\n

Every time you see me<\/p>\n

I don’t if I’m real<\/p>\n

Don’t if I feel<\/p>\n

Don’t know if I love you<\/p>\n

Don’t know if my heart’s crying<\/p>\n

Don’t know if it’s time to die<\/p>\n

Don’t know if you’re gonna come<\/p>\n

Leave my heart to cry<\/p>\n

Every time you walk my way<\/p>\n

Every time you come to me<\/p>\n

Every time you lift my heart<\/p>\n

It’s the start of dying<\/p>\n

It’s the start of my denying<\/p>\n

It’s the start of you and me<\/p>\n

It’s the start of a life that’s free<\/p>\n

It’s the start of every thing<\/p>\n

Kiss my heart and say goodbye<\/p>\n

Don’t care for the where or why<\/p>\n

Don’t care if I have to try<\/p>\n

Every time you say goodbye<\/p>\n

Now<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

I can feel you<\/p>\n

Go away<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

Every time you hold me close<\/p>\n

It’s goodbye and say goodbye<\/p>\n

Goodbye<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

So every time you hold me close<\/p>\n

Go away and go away<\/p>\n

So every time you hold me close<\/p>\n

Every time you hold me close<\/p>\n

Do You Love Me Like I Love You<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

(Alternative version<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Simon Smith \u00a9 21 st December 2007<\/p>\n

\n

Six long years since I first saw you<\/p>\n

It’s been so long I don’t know when<\/p>\n

Started as lovers, slowly became friends,<\/p>\n

Then slowly it came to an end.<\/p>\n

\n

But I always thought of you<\/p>\n

I always felt so blue<\/p>\n

I always thought that I’d get in touch<\/p>\n

And you’d come back<\/p>\n

And we’d be in love again<\/p>\n

\n

Well you went your way<\/p>\n

Did you think if me every day?<\/p>\n

Did you love me like I loved you?<\/p>\n

Did you feel blue like I felt blue?<\/p>\n

Did you feel the way that I do?<\/p>\n

Do you need me like I need you?<\/p>\n

\n

Cos I feel like we’re lost souls<\/p>\n

And we shouldn’t ever part<\/p>\n

My life is like a black hole<\/p>\n

As is the place where was my heart<\/p>\n

\n

Will you love me like I love you?<\/p>\n

I’d share everything that I have<\/p>\n

Just to feel our love is true<\/p>\n

\n

So do you love me like I love you?<\/p>\n

Do you want to be with me?<\/p>\n

I’d share everything that I am<\/p>\n

I’ll always set you free<\/p>\n

\n

So do you love me like I love you?<\/p>\n

Is my heart of no concern<\/p>\n

Is this place that I love you<\/p>\n

A dream of your return<\/p>\n

\n

So do you love me like I love you?<\/p>\n

Will we walk and talk together<\/p>\n

If I knew that you’d be there<\/p>\n

I would wait for you forever<\/p>\n

\n

So do you love me like I love you?<\/p>\n

Do you want to be with me<\/p>\n

I’d share everything that I am<\/p>\n

Just to set you free<\/p>\n

Whispers of Blue (\u00a0Was Idea 6\u00a0<\/em>)<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

Simon Smith 11 th July 2007<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve walked the hangman’s noose<\/p>\n

In my blue suede shoes<\/p>\n

I listened to the News<\/p>\n

And saw it was no use<\/p>\n

But I<\/p>\n

Was climbing to the shore<\/p>\n

To find you once more<\/p>\n

I couldn’t leave without telling you<\/p>\n

How I needed you<\/p>\n

How I bleed for you<\/p>\n

I read the lines of your epitaph for me<\/p>\n

For you<\/p>\n

\n

I walked the pebble shore to see the girl who lives no more<\/p>\n

I walked to find you<\/p>\n

On the pebble shore<\/p>\n

Ohohoh<\/p>\n

\n

Barefoot I will walk to you<\/p>\n

And through lost thoughts I will talk to you<\/p>\n

And through the night I will cry<\/p>\n

I will die<\/p>\n

\n

So take my heart and take my soul<\/p>\n

Take everything that you used to want to control<\/p>\n

And live without me babe and see how it feels<\/p>\n

To watch the boat sail out<\/p>\n

Through Autumn deals<\/p>\n

\n

Cos I will leave you<\/p>\n

You know I’m gonna go<\/p>\n

And someday will look back and know<\/p>\n

That you were wrong<\/p>\n

Your love was not strong<\/p>\n

You were falling apart when I needed you<\/p>\n

You were stalling your heart to turn me blue<\/p>\n

And I will die without you<\/p>\n

And you will cry without me<\/p>\n

And the rivers will fall<\/p>\n

From a hundred dead trees<\/p>\n

\n

Oh I will lie with you<\/p>\n

Through my ghostly night<\/p>\n

You will feel me hold you tight<\/p>\n

And you will lose me as I have lost you<\/p>\n

As I will lose you through this blue<\/p>\n

And you will die knowing that I<\/p>\n

Was the one who cried for you<\/p>\n

Who cried blue<\/p>\n

Who cried Blue<\/p>\n

Who Cried for you<\/p>\n

Whispers of blue<\/p>\n

Whispers of Blue<\/p>\n

Whispers of Blue<\/p>\n

\n

And you will fall<\/p>\n

Like a soldier falls<\/p>\n

When my heart calls<\/p>\n

When my heart calls<\/p>\n

I’m Looking For A New Love<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

I’m looking for a new love<\/p>\n

Someone to share my life<\/p>\n

Want to make a new love<\/p>\n

Want myself a wife<\/p>\n

This time I want to be<\/p>\n

Feeling differently<\/p>\n

I want somebody who will work and feel with me<\/p>\n

I want to find someone who’ll care for me<\/p>\n

I want somebody who understands<\/p>\n

What’s deep inside of me<\/p>\n

\n

I’m looking for a woman who<\/p>\n

I can fill with joy<\/p>\n

Somebody who sees me as<\/p>\n

A man and not a boy<\/p>\n

Somebody who’ll care for what<\/p>\n

I hold dear<\/p>\n

Somebody who understands<\/p>\n

I’m strong and<\/p>\n

Full of fear<\/p>\n

\n

I’m looking for somebody who<\/p>\n

Has felt the fears I have<\/p>\n

Who doesn’t think that what I feel<\/p>\n

Is good or bad<\/p>\n

And when I feel I need them<\/p>\n

They won’t run away<\/p>\n

They won’t feel I’m gonna take their life away<\/p>\n

\n

I’m not asking what<\/p>\n

She will give to me<\/p>\n

I’m just asking if<\/p>\n

She’ll work with me<\/p>\n

Feel the heartaches<\/p>\n

That I’ve gotten through<\/p>\n

To know what it is like<\/p>\n

To feel the feelings I do<\/p>\n

\n

I’m not looking for Mrs Perfect<\/p>\n

I’m not looking for someone<\/p>\n

Who’ll give me every thing<\/p>\n

I’m not looking for love<\/p>\n

That’s come from above<\/p>\n

I’m looking for someone who cares<\/p>\n

Someone who can share<\/p>\n

Someone who knows what it’s like to feel<\/p>\n

Someone who knows that they want the real deal<\/p>\n

\n

When it’s coming to an end<\/p>\n

You wanna know if it was worth the starting<\/p>\n

If it was worth the show<\/p>\n

When it’s coming to an end<\/p>\n

Love pays the price<\/p>\n

Don’t care how much it burns if it feels like it was ice<\/p>\n

\n

It doesn’t matter that you’re leaving<\/p>\n

Take that drive away<\/p>\n

Comeback tomorrow<\/p>\n

Or comeback today<\/p>\n

\n

It don’t matter if you’re driving away<\/p>\n

Or you get the train<\/p>\n

As long as I get to feel you<\/p>\n

In my arms again<\/p>\n

\n

When you said you’d love me forever<\/p>\n

I didn’t think it meant today<\/p>\n

Didn’t think your love would ever go away<\/p>\n

\n

I didn’t think you’d leave me<\/p>\n

Crying and alone<\/p>\n

I didn’t think you’d leave me<\/p>\n

But now you’re gone<\/p>\n

I don\u2018t care if you’re going<\/p>\n

As long as you stay<\/p>\n

I don\u2018t care if you’re going<\/p>\n

As long as you comeback my way<\/p>\n

\n

I didn’t think you’d ever be gone<\/p>\n

I didn’t think I’d ever sing this song<\/p>\n

I didn’t think you’d go away<\/p>\n

But you’re not here today<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t care if you’re going<\/p>\n

Don’t care if you stay<\/p>\n

I don\u2018t care if you’re going<\/p>\n

As long as you come my way<\/p>\n

I didn’t think you’d leave me<\/p>\n

Battered and alone<\/p>\n

I didn’t think you’d leave me<\/p>\n

But now you’re gone<\/p>\n

\n

I was yours and you were mine<\/p>\n

Breathless nights in the summertime<\/p>\n

I didn’t know you were going then<\/p>\n

Thought we’d always be friends<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Don’t care if you’re going<\/p>\n

Don’t care if you stay<\/p>\n

But I’m happy without you<\/p>\n

I don’t care what you’re telling me<\/p>\n

Don’t need you<\/p>\n

Telling me what to do<\/p>\n

Well I’m walking around the world<\/p>\n

Meeting lots of girls<\/p>\n

Having so much fun<\/p>\n

I’m here for you no more<\/p>\n

Go away<\/p>\n

Time for you to watch me<\/p>\n

Play away<\/p>\n

I don’t need your love no more<\/p>\n

I don’t need you tears<\/p>\n

Don’t want to hear about<\/p>\n

Your doubts and your fears<\/p>\n

Don’t care if you love me<\/p>\n

Don’t care if you’ve gone dark<\/p>\n

Take a walk baby<\/p>\n

There has to be a time when I<\/p>\n

Let go of my dreams<\/p>\n

There has to be a time<\/p>\n

When I receive things that I need<\/p>\n

There has to be a day<\/p>\n

When I say goodbye to things<\/p>\n

There has to be a day<\/p>\n

A figure of eight is going in my mind<\/p>\n

Don’t matter how much you see<\/p>\n

When you’ve been blind<\/p>\n

Can’t take my love from you<\/p>\n

Can’t take my heart don’t care<\/p>\n

Can’t take the songs I sang<\/p>\n

And put them anywhere<\/p>\n

Can’t see your heart breaking<\/p>\n

Can’t feel our love taking control now<\/p>\n

Can’t see my heart<\/p>\n

Get in to your life<\/p>\n

Can’t see you as my wife<\/p>\n

Can’t see you no more<\/p>\n

Can’t see you no more<\/p>\n

So I’m gonna take<\/p>\n

Our love and leave it<\/p>\n

Somewhere cold<\/p>\n

Gonna watch the wind blow<\/p>\n

Blow out its soul<\/p>\n

Gonna take the life we had and<\/p>\n

Just blow it away<\/p>\n

Gonna take my heart<\/p>\n

Want to say goodbye<\/p>\n

It don’t matter how much you try<\/p>\n

You just pass me by<\/p>\n

You leaving and going<\/p>\n

You’re saying goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

I don’t want to see you go away<\/p>\n

Don’t want your yesterday<\/p>\n

Don’t want to hear what you’re saying<\/p>\n

Don’t want to hear what you’re praying<\/p>\n

Don’t like the way you move me<\/p>\n

Don’t like the way you move<\/p>\n

Don’t like the way your heart sings to me<\/p>\n

In the night<\/p>\n

\n

So go away my girl<\/p>\n

Can’t keep you here<\/p>\n

Time is ticking away<\/p>\n

The lines are never clear<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t you leave me I need you here<\/p>\n

Don’t go away my girl don’t disappear<\/p>\n

\n

You said to go away and that’s what I did<\/p>\n

Now you’re saying \u201cstay away\u201d and \u201cCome right here\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

What do you want now?<\/p>\n

You want me to go or stay<\/p>\n

Can not hear what you’re saying<\/p>\n

Don’t like the games you play<\/p>\n

\n

You say you love me<\/p>\n

And I did just that<\/p>\n

Want me to go away<\/p>\n

And you want me back<\/p>\n

\n

Can’t say the words<\/p>\n

I want to say<\/p>\n

Can’t tell what’s a lie<\/p>\n

Can’t tell what is true<\/p>\n

Can’t say goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

I See You<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

I see your sad smile on a girl in a film<\/p>\n

The sky’s as red as love<\/p>\n

Your script was unfair<\/p>\n

I’m crying coz I care<\/p>\n

You’re falling<\/p>\n

For the stars<\/p>\n

And your calling<\/p>\n

From the stairs<\/p>\n

To be let in<\/p>\n

To be saved<\/p>\n

And I’m dying<\/p>\n

Coz I care<\/p>\n

But<\/p>\n

The dark clouds<\/p>\n

Swirl above<\/p>\n

And I whisper<\/p>\n

Words of love<\/p>\n

And I carry<\/p>\n

Your aching body<\/p>\n

And I’m trying to heal us<\/p>\n

If I could make you happy<\/p>\n

I’d feel pain for you gladly<\/p>\n

If I could set you free<\/p>\n

But I’m not sure<\/p>\n

If I can touch you<\/p>\n

Sadly<\/p>\n

\n

I can see you need to heal<\/p>\n

I can see you find it hard to heal<\/p>\n

I can see you’re not sure if we should be<\/p>\n

Together<\/p>\n

But I’d wait a lifetime<\/p>\n

Wait forever<\/p>\n

I’d carry you to safety<\/p>\n

I’d love you just as you need<\/p>\n

And I’d know we’d walk and talk forever<\/p>\n

I know I’d wait for you forever<\/p>\n

Forever<\/p>\n

Idea 6 Here Today<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Version 2<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a9 Simon Smith July 2007<\/p>\n

\n

Long time you come to me<\/p>\n

Don’t know where you will be<\/p>\n

My heart is leaving town tomorrow<\/p>\n

\n

But in tonight I’ll come to see you<\/p>\n

Come to hold you<\/p>\n

Every night til then<\/p>\n

I’ll be your friend<\/p>\n

\n

In tonight and out tomorrow<\/p>\n

That’s the way it’s gonna be<\/p>\n

Everybody dances slowly<\/p>\n

Round the willow tree<\/p>\n

\n

Georgia May has said she’ll come<\/p>\n

Down to the stream in the autumn night<\/p>\n

Every time she looks at me<\/p>\n

I go weak as weak as can be<\/p>\n

\n

Oh well now’s the time to leave me<\/p>\n

Now’s the time to go<\/p>\n

Don’t you ever grieve for me<\/p>\n

Cos darlin’ I won’t go<\/p>\n

I won’t go<\/p>\n

\n

In the night I’m calling you<\/p>\n

From a train that’s going by<\/p>\n

Don’t you look out your window baby<\/p>\n

Or you’ll see me cry for you<\/p>\n

Or you’ll see me die for you<\/p>\n

\n

Long time out to sea I saw you<\/p>\n

Waving me goodbye<\/p>\n

I didn’t want to wave to you<\/p>\n

I just wanted to see you cry for me<\/p>\n

I just want to see you dyin’ for me<\/p>\n

\n

I just want to lie down<\/p>\n

I just wanna see ya lyin for me<\/p>\n

I just wanna see the way you’d be<\/p>\n

\n

Without me<\/p>\n

Without me<\/p>\n

Without me<\/p>\n

Without me<\/p>\n

I Don’t Want A Woman Who<\/strong><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\n

I don’t want a woman who makes me blue<\/p>\n

I don’t want a girl who won’t see it through<\/p>\n

I need a love that shines all the time<\/p>\n

I need a love for all time<\/p>\n

\n

I don’t want a woman who I can’t trust<\/p>\n

I don’t want a woman who says I must<\/p>\n

I don’t want a love that doesn’t trust<\/p>\n

I don’t want a darkness I can’t see<\/p>\n

I don’t want a woman who doesn’t want me<\/p>\n

\n

I want my love to love me as I love her<\/p>\n

I want to feel her in the night up tight to me<\/p>\n

I want to wake and look in to eyes that see me<\/p>\n

I want a love to be as real as can be, as real as can be<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t want a love to come from stories of old<\/p>\n

Don’t want a love that lies dead and cold<\/p>\n

I want to feel your passion through the night<\/p>\n

I want her too to feel that I’m just right<\/p>\n

\n

Is that you girl<\/p>\n

Is that you<\/p>\n

Do you feel the love I feel for you too<\/p>\n

Do you want me to go<\/p>\n

Don’t care if you don’t know me<\/p>\n

I don’t care if our love doesn’t show<\/p>\n

Do you care if I go?<\/p>\n

\n

\n

I Made An Oath<\/strong><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\n

I made an oath to God not to call you<\/p>\n

But I lay in bed all day<\/p>\n

Was sick from not having you in my life<\/p>\n

I was scared that you were no longer my wife<\/p>\n

\n

Tried talking to you using telepathy<\/p>\n

I wanted to hear your voice talking to me<\/p>\n

I wanted to see you looking in my eyes<\/p>\n

I couldn’t stand the thought of goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

I made an oath to God not to call you<\/p>\n

But I lay in bed all day<\/p>\n

Was sick from not having you in my life<\/p>\n

I was scared that you were no longer my wife<\/p>\n

\n

But those times that whisper in my mind<\/p>\n

I wish I could be guided by love<\/p>\n

But I tried to talk to you using telepathy<\/p>\n

Wanted to hear your voice talking to me<\/p>\n

I wanted to see you looking in my eyes<\/p>\n

I couldn’t stand the thought of goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

Love it comes and goes<\/p>\n

Where it comes from<\/p>\n

Nobody knows<\/p>\n

\n

And so it’s time I say goodbye<\/p>\n

Look at me I don’t want to hear your crying<\/p>\n

My love is here<\/p>\n

And so is my fear<\/p>\n

I don’t want to feel you go<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel the blow on me<\/p>\n

I don’t want you to free me<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel you go<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel the pain<\/p>\n

Don’t want the low<\/p>\n

Don’t want to cry<\/p>\n

Don’t want to sigh for you<\/p>\n

But I know that this time is coming now<\/p>\n

And I know<\/p>\n

I’ve just got to feel it<\/p>\n

I just got to feel it<\/p>\n

I just got to feel it<\/p>\n

I just got to feel it<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Blue Skies<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The thoughts in my mind sing to you<\/p>\n

I keep my heart tied to you<\/p>\n

\n

Countless times I’ve followed you through storms and rain<\/p>\n

I ain’t going that way baby, can’t do it again<\/p>\n

Did you see me fight<\/p>\n

Did you see the blood on my chair<\/p>\n

Did you see me coming out better than the rest<\/p>\n

\n

I couldn’t do enough for you<\/p>\n

\n

Come walk quietly upon the beach<\/p>\n

I put my arm out but you’re out of reach<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t know if you’re going my way<\/p>\n

Don’t know if you’ll ever come my way<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve been with you<\/p>\n

Through the blue skies<\/p>\n

Are in your eyes<\/p>\n

And I don’t know if in time<\/p>\n

We’ll realise<\/p>\n

At the end of the day<\/p>\n

We’re going away<\/p>\n

In your eyes<\/p>\n

I see the blue skies of your dreams<\/p>\n

And the places that we’ve been<\/p>\n

But I ain’t going there no more<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Come Swim With Me<\/strong><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\n

These cold days are a far cry<\/p>\n

From the night lights and the blue skies<\/p>\n

And I hadn’t planned to fall in love with you<\/p>\n

I was happy as I was<\/p>\n

I wasn’t looking<\/p>\n

And you found me<\/p>\n

So I set you free<\/p>\n

Come swim with me<\/p>\n

These grey clouds<\/p>\n

That follow me<\/p>\n

From the night lights<\/p>\n

To the pier and sea<\/p>\n

\n

But I’ve never known a love that grows<\/p>\n

I never seen what my heart could show<\/p>\n

So I set you free<\/p>\n

Come swim with me<\/p>\n

Come swim with me<\/p>\n

\n

The sad dreams that haunt me<\/p>\n

From the tears I cry to reality<\/p>\n

But I never cared for any one as much as you<\/p>\n

I’ve never shared but I’d share all I’ve got with you<\/p>\n

I waited all my life for you<\/p>\n

Just to set you free<\/p>\n

So come swim with me<\/p>\n

Come swim with me<\/p>\n

\n

The fears I have that worry me<\/p>\n

From the pain you feel to the heart of me<\/p>\n

But I’d always care for you<\/p>\n

And I’d always be true to you<\/p>\n

And I’d always<\/p>\n

Take away the pain<\/p>\n

Just to set you free<\/p>\n

So come swim with me<\/p>\n

Come swim with me<\/p>\n

\n

I set you free<\/p>\n

I set you free<\/p>\n

I set you free<\/p>\n

Come swim with me<\/p>\n

Come and be happy<\/p>\n

\n

Kisses on the beach are no good honey<\/p>\n

If you don’t need me<\/p>\n

I woke this morning and found you lying<\/p>\n

In the deep blue sea<\/p>\n

\n

Well mermaid rolls are rolling to me<\/p>\n

Bringing you to me<\/p>\n

I don’t care if they’re feeling lonely<\/p>\n

Cos that’s the way they’re supposed to be<\/p>\n

\n

Well kiss me gently with the kiss of life<\/p>\n

I don’t want you to go<\/p>\n

So if you need me if you leave me<\/p>\n

Don’t say don’t, don’t say go oh no more<\/p>\n

\n

Well the stars were pouring from the skies<\/p>\n

I didn’t care to look<\/p>\n

I sat down<\/p>\n

And read the story from<\/p>\n

Your picture book<\/p>\n

\n

Well your legs they wrapped around me darling<\/p>\n

I felt you pulling me down<\/p>\n

But you were trying to tell me<\/p>\n

Not to drown<\/p>\n

\n

Well Love comes quickly<\/p>\n

Then it slides<\/p>\n

All over my face<\/p>\n

I don’t if it’s here<\/p>\n

That you want to take my place<\/p>\n

But I’m gonna go<\/p>\n

\n

Oh well Love<\/p>\n

Don’t walk away<\/p>\n

Don’t leave me here now<\/p>\n

Don’t leave me here<\/p>\n

Simon Smith July 11th 2007<\/p>\n

\n

Kiss me and touch my heart<\/p>\n

It’s been a long time<\/p>\n

Long time<\/p>\n

Well don’t you know<\/p>\n

The sun it shine<\/p>\n

In to your window time<\/p>\n

Upon this heart of mine<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t you know that<\/p>\n

When you talk you talk<\/p>\n

Directly to my heart<\/p>\n

Feeling part<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t you know<\/p>\n

When you go<\/p>\n

Feel my heart<\/p>\n

Tear apart<\/p>\n

\n

Well kisses in the morning<\/p>\n

They greet me with your smile<\/p>\n

I don’t know if you’re going away<\/p>\n

It ain’t your style<\/p>\n

\n

Well my love comes to you<\/p>\n

Kiss you deep and true<\/p>\n

And everybody turns and waves<\/p>\n

And says that they love you<\/p>\n

\n

Will you cry away<\/p>\n

Will you walk to me<\/p>\n

Will you hold me in the night<\/p>\n

And soothe away<\/p>\n

The fears in me.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

And So It’s True<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

The wind is blowing your hair gently<\/p>\n

Lying on the calm grey sea<\/p>\n

You’re singing love songs to me<\/p>\n

Reconnect eternally<\/p>\n

\n

The moon and sun both in the sky<\/p>\n

I feel the waves of you and I<\/p>\n

And we never have to try<\/p>\n

Our love will never say goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

And so it’s true love can be found<\/p>\n

And so it’s true that I care for you<\/p>\n

And so it’s true that our hearts are wound<\/p>\n

Around a love that never ends<\/p>\n

Continual lovers and friends<\/p>\n

And so it’s true<\/p>\n

\n

I searched the world for the girl<\/p>\n

But in the end you made your way to me<\/p>\n

And met me where the land touches the sea<\/p>\n

That’s where you came to me<\/p>\n

\n

The wind is blowing your hair gently<\/p>\n

\n

Sea Horses<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\n

The rain comes down and it brings this town down<\/p>\n

\u201cLong time no see\u201d<\/p>\n

Everybody’s going home<\/p>\n

And you ask why I ask about the weather<\/p>\n

And I ask you whether we should be together<\/p>\n

\n

See the sun it shines and people walk around<\/p>\n

Don’t know what’s going on in this sunny town<\/p>\n

\n

Well the sea horses lay upon the beach<\/p>\n

I look at them but they seem so out of reach<\/p>\n

And the moon it shines shadows upon my mind<\/p>\n

My dreams I wish I’d leave them all behind<\/p>\n

\n

Wish I’d flow<\/p>\n

Wish I’d let my life go<\/p>\n

Wish I’d let the love<\/p>\n

Come and go<\/p>\n

But I don’t know<\/p>\n

How to let go<\/p>\n

\n

Well the people walking past my window every night<\/p>\n

Some are laughing<\/p>\n

Some love to fight<\/p>\n

\n

Didn’t you know that the phone it always rings<\/p>\n

Just when you’re going to get the meaning of everything<\/p>\n

And I don’t know if you’re coming or going to go<\/p>\n

\n

And I can feel your love coming out at me<\/p>\n

Like horses running out of the sea<\/p>\n

I can feel your dreams shining down on me<\/p>\n

Like a moonbeam in the day<\/p>\n

Like thoughts that won’t go away<\/p>\n

\n

And you’re asking me<\/p>\n

If I’m gonna stay<\/p>\n

And you’re asking me<\/p>\n

If the moon comes out today<\/p>\n

\n

So you’re sitting in the car and you’re driving me away<\/p>\n

You look at me in the window<\/p>\n

You’re wanting me to pay<\/p>\n

You want me to pay<\/p>\n

You want me to stay<\/p>\n

\n

Run Run Run-Away<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

You feel your love going away<\/p>\n

And I’ll not go<\/p>\n

My heart is praying<\/p>\n

For the time<\/p>\n

\n

And you don’t know if I’m reading your mind<\/p>\n

And you don’t know if I’m leaving you behind<\/p>\n

And you don’t know if our time<\/p>\n

Will be kind of me<\/p>\n

\n

Well you chug along<\/p>\n

And you sing my songs<\/p>\n

And you run along<\/p>\n

And you keep me free me<\/p>\n

Baby I<\/p>\n

Don’t know why<\/p>\n

Gonna free<\/p>\n

Free with me<\/p>\n

Gonna run a run a run away with<\/p>\n

Gonna run a run a run away with<\/p>\n

Will I ever find you<\/p>\n

Will you ever be true<\/p>\n

True to me<\/p>\n

True to me<\/p>\n

True to me<\/p>\n

True to me<\/p>\n

\n

Set you free<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve Been With You A While<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I’ve been with you a while,<\/p>\n

When you see me your eyes smile<\/p>\n

But in my heart I know<\/p>\n

That I have to go<\/p>\n

\n

I could go on with you<\/p>\n

Could have fun with you<\/p>\n

But I can’t say to you<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ll love you forever more\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Should I go away<\/p>\n

Are these words to say<\/p>\n

Am I being true to you<\/p>\n

Are having you these thoughts too<\/p>\n

\n

Are you singing these thoughts away<\/p>\n

Do you want me to go too?<\/p>\n

Or do you want me to stay?<\/p>\n

\n

But my love it ain’t coming<\/p>\n

Is it strong enough for me to stay<\/p>\n

But my love likes to play<\/p>\n

Likes to stay<\/p>\n

\n

My eyes are wandering<\/p>\n

My dreams won’t stay with you<\/p>\n

My mind is wondering about me and you<\/p>\n

\n

How many lives go past<\/p>\n

Not living the dream<\/p>\n

How many people say they love you<\/p>\n

But it ain’t what they mean<\/p>\n

\n

So I’m cutting loose<\/p>\n

I’m saying goodbye<\/p>\n

I know it’s going to hurt<\/p>\n

But I don’t want to try<\/p>\n

\n

I know you’ll cry girl<\/p>\n

I know you’ll feel<\/p>\n

Like you want to die<\/p>\n

I know that time<\/p>\n

Will come to save you<\/p>\n

But it ain’t there<\/p>\n

For you and I<\/p>\n

\n

One day you’ll think of me and say \u201cgoodbye\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Never Ends<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

You’re sat in a boat<\/p>\n

And we’ve agreed<\/p>\n

That it’s best to<\/p>\n

Push you out to sea<\/p>\n

The waves are tall and grey<\/p>\n

And the sky is black<\/p>\n

I want to cry<\/p>\n

I want you back<\/p>\n

And is float and row away<\/p>\n

I feel a pain<\/p>\n

That pulls you my way<\/p>\n

I see you cry in agony<\/p>\n

\n

I feel the pain<\/p>\n

Deep inside of me<\/p>\n

You swim back<\/p>\n

And we meet<\/p>\n

Halfway in the sea<\/p>\n

\n

Some loves are born to die<\/p>\n

Some leave lovers as friends<\/p>\n

But the love between you and I<\/p>\n

Will never end<\/p>\n

Where Have All The Women Gone<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

Where have all the women gone?<\/p>\n

Used to come to hear my songs<\/p>\n

Where have all my dreams gone?<\/p>\n

Flown in the night<\/p>\n

I woke to find things weren’t right<\/p>\n

\n

The day I woke you’d gone<\/p>\n

Made me sing so any songs<\/p>\n

But rather be silently<\/p>\n

Lying with you<\/p>\n

I’d rather be silent<\/p>\n

Than feel my love isn’t true<\/p>\n

But those dreams are gone<\/p>\n

I woke to find<\/p>\n

I’m glad our love<\/p>\n

Wasn’t a trick of the mind<\/p>\n

\n

Well I ain’t bothered<\/p>\n

About money or fame<\/p>\n

I ain’t bothered if<\/p>\n

I win or lose the game<\/p>\n

\n

The most important things for me<\/p>\n

Is my lover, friends and family<\/p>\n

It ain’t so good<\/p>\n

When you feel alone<\/p>\n

It’s so hard<\/p>\n

When you sit at your phone<\/p>\n

It ain’t so nice<\/p>\n

When<\/p>\n

Your heart’s like ice<\/p>\n

It ain’t so good when<\/p>\n

Your lovers gone<\/p>\n

When your dreams are wrong<\/p>\n

When the game is long<\/p>\n

\n

Time Will Tell<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

You are soft<\/p>\n

You’re in my mind<\/p>\n

Don’t want to leave you behind<\/p>\n

You are soft<\/p>\n

I am blind<\/p>\n

You are always in my mind<\/p>\n

Time will tell<\/p>\n

If this is our destiny<\/p>\n

If you’ll be mine<\/p>\n

If you’ll be with me<\/p>\n

You are soft<\/p>\n

You’re in my mind<\/p>\n

And time will tell<\/p>\n

If you’ll be in my life<\/p>\n

\n

Come the morning time<\/p>\n

You’ll lay down by my side<\/p>\n

You’ll hold me in your arms<\/p>\n

And you’ll feel time slide<\/p>\n

\n

You are soft<\/p>\n

You’re in my mind<\/p>\n

I don’t care if I can’t see<\/p>\n

Don’t care if love is blind<\/p>\n

\n

They say that time will tell<\/p>\n

The story will fall<\/p>\n

I don’t know if it’s right<\/p>\n

But I need you to call<\/p>\n

I need you beside me<\/p>\n

Time will tell<\/p>\n

Time will tell<\/p>\n

Bottles In The Sea<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I dreamt of you<\/p>\n

And I let you go<\/p>\n

I saw you fall<\/p>\n

Did you wake to find<\/p>\n

That I’d gone<\/p>\n

Did you wake to find<\/p>\n

That you were wrong<\/p>\n

Did you wake to see<\/p>\n

That love had gone<\/p>\n

And the times that you’d cry for me<\/p>\n

And the lines that you’d lie for me<\/p>\n

And the finds that you’d give to me<\/p>\n

They’ve all gone<\/p>\n

\n

Well the love songs that you sang to me<\/p>\n

Well I saw them in bottles on the sea<\/p>\n

Well I saw you crying for me<\/p>\n

Will you take me,<\/p>\n

Wake me,<\/p>\n

Forsake me<\/p>\n

Take me,<\/p>\n

Break me upon the sea,<\/p>\n

But love<\/p>\n

Will you cry now<\/p>\n

Say goodbye now<\/p>\n

Whisper goodbye<\/p>\n

Don’t cry girl coz the time is going<\/p>\n

Time is running out I know it<\/p>\n

Every time you call me<\/p>\n

I can’t cry or say goodbye<\/p>\n

say goodbye<\/p>\n

say goodbye now<\/p>\n

Leave me<\/p>\n

Don’t you receive me<\/p>\n

Don’t you run away<\/p>\n

For today<\/p>\n

I will sleep without you<\/p>\n

I’ll sleep below you<\/p>\n

I’ll sleep inside your dreams<\/p>\n

Inside your \u201chas-beens\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside you waking moments<\/p>\n

For your tears<\/p>\n

They will well<\/p>\n

They will sail in bottles on the sea<\/p>\n

Did I kiss you<\/p>\n

Did I call you<\/p>\n

Did I fall for you<\/p>\n

Did I hold you<\/p>\n

Did I scream to you<\/p>\n

Did I scold you<\/p>\n

Did I wake from dreams where you had gone<\/p>\n

Did I write to you from letters inside this song<\/p>\n

Did I cry now<\/p>\n

Did I say goodbye<\/p>\n

Did you watch me cry<\/p>\n

Did you go<\/p>\n

In snow in fields of yesterday<\/p>\n

Did you pray now<\/p>\n

Say goodbye now<\/p>\n

Did you pray now<\/p>\n

Did you say now<\/p>\n

Go away<\/p>\n

Every time<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a9 Simon Smith 2007<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Every time you come my way<\/p>\n

Time is standing still<\/p>\n

Every time you kiss me<\/p>\n

I feel fulfilled<\/p>\n

Every time you go away sadness comes my way<\/p>\n

Every time you leave me my heart just prays<\/p>\n

So come with me baby<\/p>\n

Don’t go away<\/p>\n

I need you with me<\/p>\n

Every night and day<\/p>\n

Don’t go away<\/p>\n

Can’t stand this feeling<\/p>\n

I need you near me<\/p>\n

\n

Through the night time<\/p>\n

I wait for you<\/p>\n

Through the night time<\/p>\n

I’m looking out for you<\/p>\n

\n

So please come baby<\/p>\n

Hold me tight<\/p>\n

Don’t go away<\/p>\n

Please come baby<\/p>\n

I need you night and day<\/p>\n

Every time you leave me<\/p>\n

All I do is pray<\/p>\n

For you to come<\/p>\n

Come<\/p>\n

Come<\/p>\n

Come my way<\/p>\n

Come my way<\/p>\n

Oh come my way<\/p>\n

\n

Every time you walk away<\/p>\n

Think this of me<\/p>\n

I’ll be laying in the gutter<\/p>\n

And looking out to see<\/p>\n

To see if you’re coming<\/p>\n

Coming back to me<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Idea 76<\/strong><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Well the night’s are drawing in<\/p>\n

And I start remembering<\/p>\n

Your face looking at me<\/p>\n

Through the window smiling<\/p>\n

\n

And my heart it aches<\/p>\n

Fill what time it takes<\/p>\n

\n

But I’m moving on<\/p>\n

I need to find someone<\/p>\n

Who won’t play games<\/p>\n

Who’ll understand<\/p>\n

What it really takes<\/p>\n

\n

I’m looking for love<\/p>\n

Where we both<\/p>\n

Can see the truth<\/p>\n

Where we can both see the value<\/p>\n

Of \u201cme and you\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

I’m looking for a way<\/p>\n

To move on from yesterday<\/p>\n

I’m looking for a time<\/p>\n

When I’m me and I’m yours and you’re mine<\/p>\n

\n

I’m looking for somebody who won’t just leave me<\/p>\n

Who won’t just go away<\/p>\n

When a bit of pain comes there way<\/p>\n

I’m looking for the truth<\/p>\n

I’m looking for love<\/p>\n

I’m looking for love that’s true<\/p>\n

Ao tell me ma I dreaming for a person who’s not thee<\/p>\n

Because I can feel that I’ve got<\/p>\n

A feeling that could care<\/p>\n

For somebody<\/p>\n

Are you out there for me<\/p>\n

Do you feel the same way too<\/p>\n

Are you there to be relied on<\/p>\n

Can I really trust in you<\/p>\n

Because I need a love that holds on<\/p>\n

I need a love that isn’t wrong<\/p>\n

I need you to find me<\/p>\n

To let me know<\/p>\n

To understand that sometimes it’s hard to let go<\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s hard to know<\/p>\n

Is someone out there<\/p>\n

I’ve got to tell you I care<\/p>\n

I’ve got to tell you I care<\/p>\n

\n

The Truth Is A Dark Dream<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

The truth is a dark dream and I found you there<\/p>\n

Do you feel the love that I had?<\/p>\n

Do you feel this sad despair?<\/p>\n

We’re drawn by a tele-connection that spans the Seven Seas<\/p>\n

And somewhere in this darkness you touched the love in me<\/p>\n

And I’ll marry you in heaven<\/p>\n

If it doesn’t happen here<\/p>\n

The ending of a tale of love<\/p>\n

Is rarely ever clear<\/p>\n

\n

Life without you<\/p>\n

Is no life for me at all<\/p>\n

And I don’t care for the dark clouds<\/p>\n

Or the writing on the wall<\/p>\n

If you can’t feel this passion<\/p>\n

That yearns in us so strong<\/p>\n

I’ll wait for you to heal<\/p>\n

From those who did you wrong<\/p>\n

\n

Cos to live without each other<\/p>\n

Would be to live a lie to all<\/p>\n

For our tale is written in our eyes<\/p>\n

And from the sea it calls<\/p>\n

\n

When you see the sea you’ll see me<\/p>\n

Calling out to you<\/p>\n

So don’t tell me that you don’t love me<\/p>\n

And don’t tell me I’m wrong<\/p>\n

Cos I can hear the mermaids singing our songs<\/p>\n

Don’t tell me that I should be gone<\/p>\n

Don’t tell me our love is wrong<\/p>\n

\n

I Sit In My Chair<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I sit in our chair<\/p>\n

Imagine you’re there<\/p>\n

My face it strokes across<\/p>\n

Your soft long hair<\/p>\n

The waves of loss<\/p>\n

That crash upon my door<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if I’ll see you anymore<\/p>\n

Upon the phone I ask you<\/p>\n

To make this our home<\/p>\n

I hate sitting here alone<\/p>\n

And the words of doubt that cry to me<\/p>\n

I see you swimming in the cold dark sea<\/p>\n

In night time I sleep<\/p>\n

I hope our love you’ll keep<\/p>\n

My love and my home<\/p>\n

Is so incomplete<\/p>\n

Without you here<\/p>\n

Life’s empty for me<\/p>\n

Without you here<\/p>\n

I feel incomplete<\/p>\n

I feel incomplete<\/p>\n

\n

At night it’s your hand<\/p>\n

That strokes my face<\/p>\n

I don’t know if you feel<\/p>\n

The love in this place<\/p>\n

Was waiting for you<\/p>\n

For you to shine<\/p>\n

Don’t know how long<\/p>\n

For the time<\/p>\n

Comes or goes and I don’t know<\/p>\n

Comes or goes the way it blows<\/p>\n

The waves upon my door<\/p>\n

I don’t know if you love me anymore<\/p>\n

Without you here<\/p>\n

Life’s incomplete<\/p>\n

Without you here<\/p>\n

Life’s empty for me<\/p>\n

For me<\/p>\n

\n

I look out to sea<\/p>\n

Are you looking for me?<\/p>\n

I look out to sea<\/p>\n

Are you looking for me?<\/p>\n

Pay To Play<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

You walk away when the water flows<\/p>\n

You don’t want to know, what’s wrong with us.<\/p>\n

Don’t want to pay to pray<\/p>\n

Been running all your life<\/p>\n

Don’t want to know if you can<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel you play<\/p>\n

Don’t want to know if you can love me<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel you pray<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel you play<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel you go<\/p>\n

Don’t want to breath the air<\/p>\n

Don’t want to pay to give me<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel you go<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel you go<\/p>\n

Don’t want to know if you’ll be there<\/p>\n

Cos I know you don’t care<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel you go<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel you go<\/p>\n

Watch you walk away<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel you go<\/p>\n

You run when I choose to stay<\/p>\n

Don’t care about your prayers<\/p>\n

Don’t care if it’s unfair<\/p>\n

Don’t care about the way you don’t love me<\/p>\n

Cos the time’s been wondering on<\/p>\n

Been watching you<\/p>\n

Don’t know what’s right or wrong<\/p>\n

Don’t care if you could walk away<\/p>\n

Don’t want to pay to pray<\/p>\n

Don’t want to pray to play<\/p>\n

Don’t care if you pay<\/p>\n

Got to pay to pray<\/p>\n

Don’t want to pay to pray<\/p>\n

Don’t want to hear you say<\/p>\n

The meaning of the writing<\/p>\n

You wrote on my door<\/p>\n

Don’t want to feel you go<\/p>\n

Don’t care<\/p>\n

If you pray to play<\/p>\n

If you pay to play<\/p>\n

Don’t want to go that way.<\/p>\n

Fire On Water<\/strong><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\n

It’s been a long time since you said goodbye<\/p>\n

Since my tears fell<\/p>\n

But I still feel your presence<\/p>\n

Still smell your smell<\/p>\n

Didn’t want to say goodbye<\/p>\n

Didn’t want to see you go<\/p>\n

Didn’t want to watch you fall<\/p>\n

And I know you know<\/p>\n

\n

Didn’t want to feel you go cold<\/p>\n

Around my body tonight<\/p>\n

I didn’t want to feel our love grow old<\/p>\n

Overnight<\/p>\n

\n

And time, my time, is gonna run away<\/p>\n

I see you fall<\/p>\n

I see you call<\/p>\n

I see you run<\/p>\n

Unto me in your dreams<\/p>\n

I see you run<\/p>\n

Away but to my arms<\/p>\n

\n

Gonna take my love and watch it sail away to the moon<\/p>\n

Where our love dies<\/p>\n

\n

You’re gonna take me and love me<\/p>\n

I know it’s the way to be<\/p>\n

You’re gonna take me and love me<\/p>\n

And that’s the way to be<\/p>\n

\n

Well sometimes that’s the fire in your eyes<\/p>\n

That’s the fire on water baby<\/p>\n

That’s the fire on water baby<\/p>\n

That’s the way your love comes down<\/p>\n

Idea 72 – I Got This Pain<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\n

Well I’ve got this pain<\/p>\n

And it’s moving through me<\/p>\n

It comes when I remember how it used to be<\/p>\n

And I think that you’re the one<\/p>\n

That I should hang my dreams upon<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve got this pain<\/p>\n

And I try to let it fade<\/p>\n

Cos my drams told me<\/p>\n

That I had it made<\/p>\n

But reality well it turned to me<\/p>\n

Well it said to me<\/p>\n

That it’s time to set myself free<\/p>\n

\n

When I think of you I feel pain inside<\/p>\n

When I think of you I feel like you died<\/p>\n

I feel like you didn’t try<\/p>\n

I feel like I’ve got this pain<\/p>\n

Flowing like the tide<\/p>\n

\n

I know that I won’t die from this<\/p>\n

I know one day I’ll feel another’s kiss<\/p>\n

And I know that I’ll go on<\/p>\n

I know that I should let go of this pain<\/p>\n

I know I’ll feel joy again<\/p>\n

But I just got to let go<\/p>\n

Got to let go<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

Without Words<\/strong><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Well I’ve said this all before<\/p>\n

I know the story well<\/p>\n

The end is the beginning<\/p>\n

Of another tale<\/p>\n

\n

Well it’s easy come but hard to go<\/p>\n

Gone without a word<\/p>\n

It’s the story that I know<\/p>\n

\n

You’ve gone away<\/p>\n

Not a word I heard you say<\/p>\n

But your smile echoes upon my wall<\/p>\n

The jokes we laughed at<\/p>\n

Knock on my door<\/p>\n

\n

Without a word there’s been a breakdown<\/p>\n

In the communications that we used to love<\/p>\n

Without a word you’re gone away forever<\/p>\n

I know that our love is gone<\/p>\n

\n

Well I’ve said this all before<\/p>\n

I know the story well<\/p>\n

The end is the beginning<\/p>\n

Of another tale<\/p>\n

\n

Has it been a mistake<\/p>\n

Have you been taken away<\/p>\n

Have you gone without a word to say<\/p>\n

\n

Well it’s easy come but hard to go<\/p>\n

I keep imagining you at my door<\/p>\n

I’m looking out my window<\/p>\n

Straight in to your eyes<\/p>\n

Without a word you tell me<\/p>\n

Your love has died<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

Your love has died<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

Close the door<\/p>\n

And left me outside<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

My heart has broken in two<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

Through the airwaves<\/p>\n

I won’t sing to you<\/p>\n

My love was easy come<\/p>\n

But ain’t so easy to go<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

You’ll never let me know<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

My heart will disappear<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

I’ll never find you here<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

Goodbye I’ll never hear<\/p>\n

Goodbye said<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

Without a word<\/p>\n

Stars That Don’t Fall<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Angie she lays on her bed<\/p>\n

Looks in to the night<\/p>\n

She’s lying alone tonight<\/p>\n

At the table ian he cries<\/p>\n

He knows their love has died<\/p>\n

Into the night his tears fall<\/p>\n

Upon stars that’ll never call<\/p>\n

He looks in to the glass where once flowers grew<\/p>\n

He knows true love ain’t always true<\/p>\n

He knows their love’s turned blue<\/p>\n

\n

Angie she turns her head and looks the other way<\/p>\n

Wishes love weren’t dead<\/p>\n

Wishes their love would stay<\/p>\n

But it’s gone wrong<\/p>\n

It’s gone a long, long time ago<\/p>\n

There’s no happy returns today<\/p>\n

No happy return today<\/p>\n

\n

Oh Angie she falls asleep in the night<\/p>\n

While Ian wants to fight<\/p>\n

Oh he goes from dark<\/p>\n

To night<\/p>\n

The rooms echo shadows<\/p>\n

Of stars that will not fall<\/p>\n

I know you want to go<\/p>\n

I want you near<\/p>\n

But my heart<\/p>\n

Is moving through<\/p>\n

A time<\/p>\n

Is not so clear<\/p>\n

Where will you be<\/p>\n

Will you still<\/p>\n

Want me<\/p>\n

Will you be there<\/p>\n

When I start to clear<\/p>\n

Will you be there<\/p>\n

\n

I sleep in the sea<\/p>\n

Mermaids they call to me<\/p>\n

But my heart is empty<\/p>\n

And my soul is dry<\/p>\n

\n

Where will you be<\/p>\n

When I need you<\/p>\n

Where will you be<\/p>\n

When I learn to care<\/p>\n

Where will your heart be<\/p>\n

Will it remember a love that used to be<\/p>\n

Will it care for what used to be<\/p>\n

\n

My heart is lonely<\/p>\n

But it doesn’t want love<\/p>\n

It wants to find a way<\/p>\n

It wants to find its way<\/p>\n

To the beginning of its love<\/p>\n

\n

It wants to find a way<\/p>\n

Into its own love<\/p>\n

If it wasn’t for you I may lay down and die<\/p>\n

If it wasn’t for the love I had before<\/p>\n

If it wasn’t for the way you cried<\/p>\n

Darkness would come to me<\/p>\n

Like an old friend<\/p>\n

Who I would beckon in<\/p>\n

And take me away<\/p>\n

\n

My time isn’t here yet!<\/p>\n

I do not forget<\/p>\n

That you don’t want to leave you so alone<\/p>\n

Want to feel you close<\/p>\n

Want to feel you go through life<\/p>\n

Want you to know<\/p>\n

Want you to know<\/p>\n

Want to see you grow<\/p>\n

Sits in his chair<\/p>\n

Well you may love me forever<\/p>\n

The Lie<\/p>\n

Of this land<\/p>\n

But well you will love me<\/p>\n

When you don’t me so well<\/p>\n

And you will love me<\/p>\n

And my heart will make it hell<\/p>\n

I can see it’s all the same<\/p>\n

\n

Did you want me<\/p>\n

To run away with you<\/p>\n

Or did you want me<\/p>\n

To leave you<\/p>\n

\n

I don’t know if it’s time<\/p>\n

To take a walk<\/p>\n

Or it’s time for us to talk<\/p>\n

About whatever there is to say<\/p>\n

\n

Well you used to come with me<\/p>\n

And you used to fight with me<\/p>\n

But now you leave me well alone<\/p>\n

\n

Well you used to talk to me<\/p>\n

But now we leave it be<\/p>\n

Cos now I’m a long way from home<\/p>\n

\n

Well do you want to know what I had to say to them<\/p>\n

Do you want to know my friend<\/p>\n

Cos the night is when I do my dirty work<\/p>\n

But my friend can you feel the weight of my mind<\/p>\n

\n

Idea 50<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Well the night is young<\/p>\n

And we’re ready to go<\/p>\n

And the time is moving, moving, moving<\/p>\n

Closer to go<\/p>\n

And you will<\/p>\n

\n

Well the time is gone<\/p>\n

And I wait for you babe<\/p>\n

I didn’t want to see you going<\/p>\n

Out in the snow<\/p>\n

Didn’t want to feel you break<\/p>\n

Time stays<\/p>\n

Now love falls<\/p>\n

And the time say<\/p>\n

That it’s time for you to call me<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t like your dreams<\/p>\n

I want reality<\/p>\n

I don’t like your ideas<\/p>\n

About the future and how it’ll be<\/p>\n

I don’t know if the time<\/p>\n

Will fall<\/p>\n

But my baby<\/p>\n

It’s time for a new chord<\/p>\n

\n

Well I listened to your dreams upon the TV<\/p>\n

I heard them on the radio too<\/p>\n

But they weren’t my dreams<\/p>\n

Well now it seems<\/p>\n

Every time you tell them to me<\/p>\n

They ain’t what I want to be<\/p>\n

So go away<\/p>\n

Come back another day<\/p>\n

Take the dreams we had<\/p>\n

Take the moulds<\/p>\n

Go back<\/p>\n

Every time you need me<\/p>\n

I will see me<\/p>\n

In your dreams<\/p>\n

Not the way it seems<\/p>\n

\n

Well the next chord is coming<\/p>\n

Thank goodness<\/p>\n

Cos I haven’t finished the song<\/p>\n

Doesn’t matter what you think<\/p>\n

To end it there<\/p>\n

Would have been wrong<\/p>\n

So let’s keep on dancing<\/p>\n

Let’s go around<\/p>\n

Let me feel you<\/p>\n

Let me see you<\/p>\n

Moving to the sound<\/p>\n

And you fall this way<\/p>\n

Or call this way<\/p>\n

You can write me<\/p>\n

Or wrong me<\/p>\n

Every day<\/p>\n

Cos you know how much I love<\/p>\n

To feel you close to me<\/p>\n

\n

When you gonna<\/p>\n

Move me round and round<\/p>\n

Cos the lights are coming on<\/p>\n

All around<\/p>\n

\n

And we’re gonna go again I hope<\/p>\n

\n

Cos you’re gonna keep me<\/p>\n

Gonna leave me<\/p>\n

Moving all around<\/p>\n

Spinning around<\/p>\n

Spinning around, around and round<\/p>\n

Cos that’s the way you’re gonna take me<\/p>\n

Through your dreams<\/p>\n

Spinning around and around<\/p>\n

And we’re gonna have to end it there<\/p>\n

\n

Just like that<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Idea 9c<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

I didn’t mean this to happen<\/p>\n

That’s what I’ll say<\/p>\n

But if you don’t catch me baby<\/p>\n

I’ll continue to play<\/p>\n

And I’ll go away<\/p>\n

\n

\n

It’s Been A Long Time Since You Fell Idea\u00a0Fire On Water\u00a0<\/strong>45<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

It’s been along time since you said goodbye<\/p>\n

Since my tears they fell<\/p>\n

But I still feel you coming<\/p>\n

I still smell your smell<\/p>\n

Didn’t want to say goodbye<\/p>\n

Didn’t want to see you go<\/p>\n

Didn’t want to watch you fall away<\/p>\n

And you know<\/p>\n

\n

I didn’t want to feel you go cold<\/p>\n

Around my body tonight<\/p>\n

I diodn’t want to feel opur love grow old<\/p>\n

In the night time<\/p>\n

And time, my time, I love you<\/p>\n

Will go on and run away<\/p>\n

I see you fall<\/p>\n

I see you call<\/p>\n

I see you run<\/p>\n

Unto me<\/p>\n

In your dreams<\/p>\n

I see you run<\/p>\n

Everywhere but to my arms<\/p>\n

Through that calm girl<\/p>\n

Can’t you see<\/p>\n

That our love is going away tonight<\/p>\n

But I lay in your arms and I feel you calling in the night time<\/p>\n

I feel you call me<\/p>\n

\n

But you’re going away<\/p>\n

You’re going to sing<\/p>\n

To someone else tonight<\/p>\n

You’re going away<\/p>\n

You’ll feed somebody you love<\/p>\n

Gonna take my love and watch it sail away<\/p>\n

To the moon and back<\/p>\n

That’s where our love dies<\/p>\n

To the tie I’m gonna<\/p>\n

Keep my heart from going<\/p>\n

I’m gonna run to you in the night<\/p>\n

You’re gonna take me love me<\/p>\n

I know it’s the way it’ll be<\/p>\n

You’re gonna take me love me<\/p>\n

And that’s the way it’s meant to be<\/p>\n

Oh I’m gonna run to you<\/p>\n

I’m gonna have my fun with you<\/p>\n

But sometimes<\/p>\n

You’ll be crying alone<\/p>\n

You’ll be crying and dying alone<\/p>\n

Gonna feel it, feel me alive<\/p>\n

Cos sometimes that’s what I like<\/p>\n

Well sometimes that’s the fire in your eyes<\/p>\n

That’s the fire on water baby<\/p>\n

That’s the way your love comes down to me<\/p>\n

\n

Keep Your Ideas<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Well keep your thoughts to yourself<\/p>\n

I do not need to know your ways<\/p>\n

One day someone will come<\/p>\n

And tell you what you’ve done<\/p>\n

\n

Until that time keep away<\/p>\n

\n

Keep your thoughts to yourself<\/p>\n

I do not need to know you’re right<\/p>\n

I do not need to know<\/p>\n

The way I should go<\/p>\n

The things I should do with my time<\/p>\n

\n

Keep your ideas to yourself<\/p>\n

I don’t care what you think’s good for my health<\/p>\n

Don’t care what you think’s good for me<\/p>\n

Don’t care what you see<\/p>\n

Keep your ideas to your self<\/p>\n

\n

I wish you could see e as I see me<\/p>\n

I do not want tell you too<\/p>\n

But if I see me like I see me<\/p>\n

Then I’ll be you<\/p>\n

I won’t be true<\/p>\n

That’s because you’re a cunt<\/p>\n

\n

Oh baby it’s time for you to leave<\/p>\n

Your ideas are not for me to conceive<\/p>\n

Conserve your energy<\/p>\n

Don’t waste it on me<\/p>\n

There’s plenty of fishes for you<\/p>\n

Plenty of things to do<\/p>\n

Plenty of lights to blow<\/p>\n

Plenty of places to go<\/p>\n

I just don’t need to know<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Morning Time Idea 67<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Morning times are always the time<\/p>\n

That sadness wells up in me<\/p>\n

Morning time is when I need you<\/p>\n

Morning time’s a place where I can’t find me<\/p>\n

\n

Night will be a cool stream that flows upon our feet<\/p>\n

Morning time’s the time I dream but night time’s a place for me<\/p>\n

\n

If I could I’d sleep through the Morning time<\/p>\n

If I could I’d be blind<\/p>\n

If I could I’d float away<\/p>\n

\n

Every time you come to me I feel you<\/p>\n

Walking in and out of mind<\/p>\n

It don’t matter if the love we had is gone<\/p>\n

Cos I feel it in the day tie<\/p>\n

\n

Morning time is a time when i want to sleep<\/p>\n

Night time is a time when I see you close to me<\/p>\n

Cool stream that flows upon our feet<\/p>\n

Every time I feel you close to me<\/p>\n

Then I know it’s time for us to be close<\/p>\n

Please let it be forever<\/p>\n

\n

Pretty Little Georgia idea 28<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Pretty little Georgia likes to sing<\/p>\n

She knows how to shine her thing<\/p>\n

But it’s been a long, long time<\/p>\n

Since that girl was mine<\/p>\n

\n

Well Georgia likes to fling that thing around<\/p>\n

Likes to make it known<\/p>\n

But our love was gone<\/p>\n

A long time our love was blown<\/p>\n

\n

Take it away now<\/p>\n

Gonna say goodbye<\/p>\n

Don’t care, I don’t cry for Georgia<\/p>\n

Georgia says \u201cIt’s goodbye!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGoodbye now\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

The Lust In Your Mind idea 35<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

I heard you talking about your man<\/p>\n

About how he made you understand<\/p>\n

The lust in your mind<\/p>\n

How he turned blind<\/p>\n

And how love, it never dies<\/p>\n

\n

I heard about the way you talked to your friends<\/p>\n

And I heard you talk about the 20 year gap in your love<\/p>\n

The lovers that came and went, the lust that came was spent,<\/p>\n

And how your life turned upon a love that calls you<\/p>\n

\n

Whispers down the hall and they’re coming my way<\/p>\n

Can’t sing tonight, can’t fight, can’t take it, right<\/p>\n

Gonna live the life I had<\/p>\n

If it’s bad who cares<\/p>\n

Gonna, gonna live that way<\/p>\n

Don’t care about what you all say<\/p>\n

Don’t care if you’re loving what I’m doing<\/p>\n

Don’t care if you think it’s bad<\/p>\n

It’s time for the love I never had<\/p>\n

\n

Oh you’re dancing around my life<\/p>\n

Don’t care if you’re coming or going tonight<\/p>\n

The flames fly in to your eyes<\/p>\n

Don’t care if you’re whispering lies<\/p>\n

The flames lick upon our love<\/p>\n

Don’t care if they’re falling from above<\/p>\n

Time will come and time will go<\/p>\n

When everyone will stop still<\/p>\n

Everyone will dance in circles<\/p>\n

Around the time we used to fill<\/p>\n

And time will fall<\/p>\n

Around your waste the time will call<\/p>\n

The time it takes upon our lives<\/p>\n

And the fire it calls in your eyes<\/p>\n

In your eyes<\/p>\n

In your eyes<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Idea 4 some distant song<\/a>\u00a0\/ You Were Falling<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

Simon Smith july 11 2007<\/p>\n

\n

You were falling<\/p>\n

I felt go away<\/p>\n

I reached to hold you<\/p>\n

But you had to let me go<\/p>\n

\n

And you didn’t know that I loved you<\/p>\n

And you didn’t know that I cared<\/p>\n

And all our life was shared with others<\/p>\n

And you could not despair or care for me<\/p>\n

How could it be?<\/p>\n

\n

Well you were there and you were holding on<\/p>\n

To some distant song that you’d heard<\/p>\n

On the news one day<\/p>\n

You’d thought you’d play along<\/p>\n

You didn’t know that<\/p>\n

You were wrong to find me<\/p>\n

To find me<\/p>\n

In the ocean seas<\/p>\n

What could you take from me<\/p>\n

What could you take then leave<\/p>\n

What could you take apart from me<\/p>\n

Oh it’s time to leave me.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

When Should I Call<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

I only just met you girl<\/p>\n

But you’re in my mind<\/p>\n

I don’t know if I should call<\/p>\n

Don’t know if you’d mind<\/p>\n

\n

But would you be pleased to hear me<\/p>\n

To talk down the phone<\/p>\n

Would you be pleased to come<\/p>\n

Or no<\/p>\n

\n

I only just met you girl<\/p>\n

And so they say<\/p>\n

Don’t ever call a girl<\/p>\n

On the very next day<\/p>\n

Wait a time<\/p>\n

Be strategic and all<\/p>\n

Don’t rush to text<\/p>\n

Don’t rush to call<\/p>\n

\n

I lay down<\/p>\n

I close my eyes<\/p>\n

And there you are<\/p>\n

Looking at me<\/p>\n

I only just met you girl<\/p>\n

But you’re in my mind<\/p>\n

How long should I wait<\/p>\n

What is the right time<\/p>\n

If you care then<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s no time at all<\/p>\n

Maybe I’m just playing the fool<\/p>\n

Maybe I’m just playing to fall<\/p>\n

Maybe I’m just playing<\/p>\n

And you’re going to watch me fall<\/p>\n

\n

Going With Time<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

I lay there through the night<\/p>\n

Your hand in mine<\/p>\n

Holding me so tight<\/p>\n

I didn’t need to know<\/p>\n

If you’d come or go<\/p>\n

I didn’t need you to<\/p>\n

Show me anything<\/p>\n

But the time’s changed<\/p>\n

Sleeping time arranged<\/p>\n

Living with you was putting me<\/p>\n

Out of my mind<\/p>\n

Out of my mind<\/p>\n

\n

You wanted me to run to you<\/p>\n

You wanted me to say we were through<\/p>\n

But the time’s are gonna go<\/p>\n

Just the way they know<\/p>\n

But the time’s are gonna go<\/p>\n

Just the way they know<\/p>\n

Will you fill me with<\/p>\n

The destiny I need<\/p>\n

Will you fill me with<\/p>\n

A mind I can conceive<\/p>\n

\n

And every time you go away I know<\/p>\n

That my life is emptier<\/p>\n

For the time that you’re away<\/p>\n

Every time I see you<\/p>\n

I know<\/p>\n

That it might be the last time<\/p>\n

That I ever show you<\/p>\n

Our love in my eyes<\/p>\n

In my eyes<\/p>\n

Come and go<\/p>\n

But darling<\/p>\n

You know it’s just a matter of time<\/p>\n

Till my eyes go dim<\/p>\n

And our love becomes blind<\/p>\n

\n

Will you guide me through the night time<\/p>\n

Will you walk away and not know I have gone<\/p>\n

Will you listen to the words<\/p>\n

That I sing to you<\/p>\n

In the kisses of this song<\/p>\n

\n

Oh well the sun shines<\/p>\n

Upon your face<\/p>\n

Fills me with the feelings<\/p>\n

Of desire<\/p>\n

Like your skins on fire<\/p>\n

I will you cool your burning feelings<\/p>\n

I will cool you through the night<\/p>\n

When your hand is holding me so tight<\/p>\n

So tight<\/p>\n

So tight<\/p>\n

So tight<\/p>\n

So tight<\/p>\n

So tight<\/p>\n

\n

Little Stars<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Used to be the way we were<\/p>\n

Happy go lucky little stars<\/p>\n

Every time we’d turn our way<\/p>\n

Every time was another day<\/p>\n

\n

Now you want to<\/p>\n

Take me to your heart<\/p>\n

Now you want to<\/p>\n

Never leave me alone<\/p>\n

\n

We used to be happy go lucky<\/p>\n

Used to be little stars<\/p>\n

Used to be everybody<\/p>\n

New every part<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 society<\/p>\n

Would never let us be<\/p>\n

\n

Come one summer<\/p>\n

People were dancing in the square<\/p>\n

I looked on<\/p>\n

You were unaware<\/p>\n

\n

A million people sit together<\/p>\n

Waiting for the sun to shine<\/p>\n

Listening for their last words<\/p>\n

To echo for all time<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Big Fast Car<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

It doesn’t matter than you’re not here now<\/p>\n

You don’t call to tell me where you are<\/p>\n

You’re in my mind as I drive my car<\/p>\n

A speeding in my car<\/p>\n

\n

I will call you<\/p>\n

When you’re happy dreaming<\/p>\n

You lay awake<\/p>\n

My head to rest<\/p>\n

Our heads together<\/p>\n

You’re not dreaming<\/p>\n

I reach out<\/p>\n

But you’re not there<\/p>\n

\n

You’re sleeping 6000 miles away<\/p>\n

Can you feel me<\/p>\n

Oh my head to pray<\/p>\n

\n

It doesn’t matter than you’re not here now<\/p>\n

You don’t call to tell me where you are<\/p>\n

You’re in my mind<\/p>\n

As I drive in my big fancy car<\/p>\n

\n

You’re sleeping 6000 miles away<\/p>\n

Can you feel me<\/p>\n

Through your haze<\/p>\n

Can feel me<\/p>\n

Reaching out to touch you<\/p>\n

In my big fast car<\/p>\n

\n

I’m thinking about you<\/p>\n

In your big fast car<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

Dark To Out Of View<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

I woke up and I was lonely<\/p>\n

So I thought I would think of you<\/p>\n

Upon a boat in dreamy waters<\/p>\n

Of my sleep<\/p>\n

You were sleeping too<\/p>\n

Drifting out of view<\/p>\n

\n

Sometimes love comes and it\u2026<\/p>\n

Sometimes love goes and it \u2026<\/p>\n

Sometimes life is cheerful<\/p>\n

And sometimes it is blue<\/p>\n

\n

And I’m not with you anymore<\/p>\n

I’m staring at closed doors<\/p>\n

I’m staring at the closed doors of love<\/p>\n

\n

I was lying in bed and lonely<\/p>\n

I thought I don’t want no more blues<\/p>\n

I turn away from your pillow<\/p>\n

\u201cOne more time\u201d, again and again<\/p>\n

I need to leave you<\/p>\n

Leave you well alone<\/p>\n

But you’re there<\/p>\n

In every echo of my heart<\/p>\n

Every echo of the phone<\/p>\n

Every time the light goes out<\/p>\n

I see you face<\/p>\n

Out of place<\/p>\n

Every place I look<\/p>\n

That’s all I see<\/p>\n

I want you to get away from me<\/p>\n

\n

I want you to get away from me<\/p>\n

Love it comes and goes<\/p>\n

Like colours from a rainbow<\/p>\n

From red to blue<\/p>\n

And dark to out of view<\/p>\n

Wish I couldn’t see you<\/p>\n

Wish I’d lose my love of you<\/p>\n

Wish I knew our heart<\/p>\n

Were no longer<\/p>\n

One but two<\/p>\n

Wish I could leave you alone<\/p>\n

But I hear you in every echo<\/p>\n

Of the phone<\/p>\n

Every time the light goes out<\/p>\n

I see you face<\/p>\n

I know it’s time to go<\/p>\n

But I don’t want to go<\/p>\n

I don’t want to let you go right now<\/p>\n

I’ll keep you till the time feels right<\/p>\n

Then I’ll say goodbye<\/p>\n

Time to stop myself from crying<\/p>\n

Got to let our love die<\/p>\n

Got to move on<\/p>\n

Jam version<\/a><\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\n

And I’ll Dance<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Love comes<\/p>\n

Love goes<\/p>\n

This world we all come to know<\/p>\n

But when the singers run out of time<\/p>\n

It’s the time to get back on the line<\/p>\n

And move through to where you want to go<\/p>\n

Take the road and take your love<\/p>\n

\n

Loves comes to those<\/p>\n

Who do not wait for it<\/p>\n

There’s no way to forsake it<\/p>\n

You can give and take it<\/p>\n

\n

My heart has been crying to you<\/p>\n

But there’s nothing you can do<\/p>\n

And I’ll dance to the songs of the stars<\/p>\n

And I’ll dance to the horns of passing cars<\/p>\n

And I’ll dance to the tears that you cry<\/p>\n

And I’ll dance to the chants of goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

Do you know<\/p>\n

That the fading light<\/p>\n

Isn’t always the beginning of the night<\/p>\n

It isn’t always the wrong or right<\/p>\n

Isn’t always the ending of the light<\/p>\n

\n

I will send you<\/p>\n

My love<\/p>\n

Through the night<\/p>\n

I will send you<\/p>\n

All my love<\/p>\n

Through the night<\/p>\n

And you’ll come to me on a dream<\/p>\n

When I do not seem to believe<\/p>\n

To believe<\/p>\n

\n

My old man he never loved no one<\/p>\n

He always was the number one<\/p>\n

Left me at zero to keep<\/p>\n

Well my old man pulled a gun<\/p>\n

And I just stood there freezing under the sun<\/p>\n

My old man he didn’t love no one<\/p>\n

Was always the number one<\/p>\n

Flying Over My Life<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Sometimes I fly over my life<\/p>\n

And sometimes I see you lying there<\/p>\n

And sometimes I see myself<\/p>\n

Looking at you<\/p>\n

Looking at me<\/p>\n

And it hurts to see me cry for you<\/p>\n

But you’re gone<\/p>\n

And the night feels wrong<\/p>\n

As I fly above my life<\/p>\n

And sometimes I swim to the depths of me<\/p>\n

I find you lying there<\/p>\n

So quietly<\/p>\n

Reaching out to me<\/p>\n

Reaching out to me<\/p>\n

\n

And sometimes I walk beside you<\/p>\n

Through desert storms<\/p>\n

My eyes are cut by sand<\/p>\n

\n

***<\/p>\n

Russian Roulette<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Cut me free<\/p>\n

Let me drift away<\/p>\n

If you don’t want me here<\/p>\n

I don’t want to stay<\/p>\n

\n

This boat rides<\/p>\n

Upon the tide of your goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

Your smile cuts across<\/p>\n

The rips and tide<\/p>\n

And I want to look inside<\/p>\n

Your mind<\/p>\n

\n

I want to hold you tight<\/p>\n

You’ll whisper in the morning light<\/p>\n

But all you’ll say is<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a goodbye tide\u201d<\/p>\n

It’ll take you the other side<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t want me looking side your love<\/p>\n

Don’t want me looking inside your tears<\/p>\n

Don’t want me seeing your future years<\/p>\n

\n

I can remember your soft hello<\/p>\n

Can remember how strong your love did grow<\/p>\n

I can remember how you felt to me<\/p>\n

As you whispered so gently<\/p>\n

\n

But the smell in the air<\/p>\n

Of the cold despair that I feel<\/p>\n

That this love could be real<\/p>\n

Laid your hand the deal<\/p>\n

\n

You want to play Russian roulette<\/p>\n

Or did you forget<\/p>\n

Between the sheets you roll the dice<\/p>\n

Between the sheets you rolled a life<\/p>\n

In the morning you whisper goodbye<\/p>\n

In the morning comes goodbye<\/p>\n

Goodbye girl<\/p>\n

Goodbye girl<\/p>\n

Searching<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

We were always playing down on the riverside<\/p>\n

Mary and me well we one time nearly died<\/p>\n

But those times have gone<\/p>\n

And you’re a long, long way from me<\/p>\n

Now I travel the world in search of Galilee<\/p>\n

\n

But you know that knowing a knowing point of view<\/p>\n

And I don’t know nothing now<\/p>\n

Cos I know nothing is true<\/p>\n

Knowing time has gone<\/p>\n

Knowing something is wrong<\/p>\n

Knowing that you are a long way from me<\/p>\n

In every time and every place<\/p>\n

In every time and every space<\/p>\n

That I leave to my memory<\/p>\n

Well I looked you upon
\nThe net<\/p>\n

But couldn’t fish you out<\/p>\n

And I remember how<\/p>\n

You used to run your fingers through my hair<\/p>\n

But that was along time ago<\/p>\n

And the river doesn’t flow<\/p>\n

The clouds upon my brow<\/p>\n

Are long gone anyhow<\/p>\n

\n

I don’t know if you’re even alive or dead<\/p>\n

But you are still<\/p>\n

In my mind girl<\/p>\n

And though I can not find you girl<\/p>\n

You are alive and well<\/p>\n

In the memories I carry for you<\/p>\n

Even though memories are never true<\/p>\n

I keep the sky so blue for you<\/p>\n

Cool Breeze<\/a>\u00a0– riverside jam 11 august 2005<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Part 1<\/p>\n

\n

Well the cool breeze<\/p>\n

Blows my love away<\/p>\n

Takes my baby today<\/p>\n

Oh the cool wind<\/p>\n

It drives my love away<\/p>\n

Sometimes I’m singing for you<\/p>\n

It’s gonna go away<\/p>\n

It’s gonna go away<\/p>\n

Well that cool wind<\/p>\n

It blows my love away<\/p>\n

\n

Gonna take something to remember<\/p>\n

Gonna take you sometimes to forget you were you<\/p>\n

But your heart mends<\/p>\n

Even in a cool breeze<\/p>\n

That keeps blowing over me<\/p>\n

\n

It’s a cool breeze<\/p>\n

That me blew me to your knees<\/p>\n

That takes my love away<\/p>\n

It’s a cool breeze<\/p>\n

That lost me<\/p>\n

\n

It’s a cool breeze<\/p>\n

That’s been blowing through my needs<\/p>\n

And it’s taking my heart<\/p>\n

A long way you know<\/p>\n

And the summer sun is gone now<\/p>\n

And the sky is full of clouds now<\/p>\n

And I want you to know<\/p>\n

That the cool breeze<\/p>\n

It’s a cool breeze<\/p>\n

That blows through my needs<\/p>\n

Taking my heart<\/p>\n

To leave<\/p>\n

Don’t you ever wonder<\/p>\n

What could have been between us<\/p>\n

If you’d let go of your dreams<\/p>\n

\n

It’s a cool breeze<\/p>\n

Blowing through my needs<\/p>\n

And the summer time has gone<\/p>\n

And the sky has filled with cold<\/p>\n

\n

It’s a cool breeze<\/p>\n

Blowing through my needs<\/p>\n

And I wonder where you sleep<\/p>\n

Tonight<\/p>\n

And I wonder whose arms hold you tight<\/p>\n

\n

It’s a cool breeze<\/p>\n

That arches over our needs<\/p>\n

That blows the clouds away<\/p>\n

That keeps the dreams till day<\/p>\n

\n

Takes the love we had<\/p>\n

And carefully pushes it away<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

Part 2<\/p>\n

Turn Around<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Why do I see your face<\/p>\n

In the crowds of any place<\/p>\n

Every time I drive away<\/p>\n

It’s your face in the parking bay<\/p>\n

\n

Why do you walk away<\/p>\n

Knowing I want you to stay<\/p>\n

Can’t you see what it does to me<\/p>\n

To know you’ll never stay<\/p>\n

\n

A question may turn upon<\/p>\n

The answers that I leave<\/p>\n

And every time I look away<\/p>\n

It’s you who can’t agree<\/p>\n

\n

At night I try to waken you<\/p>\n

Got to get away<\/p>\n

But every time I look around<\/p>\n

It’s your face that goes astray<\/p>\n

\n

A thousand dancers dance around me<\/p>\n

Spinning slowly<\/p>\n

Spinning fast<\/p>\n

Every time I turn away<\/p>\n

They march me in to my past<\/p>\n

\n

Well I know that your love has gone<\/p>\n

And you don’t care no more<\/p>\n

Every time I look away<\/p>\n

You’re breaking down my door<\/p>\n

\n

Well the story books advise on roses<\/p>\n

So I throw flowers in your hair<\/p>\n

I turn around to see where they fall<\/p>\n

But they’re never there<\/p>\n

\n

Oh well I look across to your front door<\/p>\n

To see if the light’s on<\/p>\n

I search the house I ring the bell<\/p>\n

To find that you are gone<\/p>\n

\n

I show your picture to the postman<\/p>\n

He’s been programmed to believe<\/p>\n

I turn around to call your name<\/p>\n

But find that he can’t read<\/p>\n

\n

And in the silence of confusion<\/p>\n

I etch your face upon the lake<\/p>\n

I turn around in full submission<\/p>\n

But it’s freedom that you take<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Sat by the fireside<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Sat by the fireside<\/p>\n

Looked at your face in the light<\/p>\n

Couldn’t tell what was wrong or right<\/p>\n

Kept on hearing your sighs<\/p>\n

Sat next to you at the lakeside<\/p>\n

Saw the sunlight on your eyes<\/p>\n

Wanted to hold you tight<\/p>\n

But I just didn’t know what was right<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Well the end is near<\/a><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Well the end is near
\nThat ain’t what I want to hear
\nBut I can feel it in every move we make
\nI can feel it in every beat of my heart that breaks
\nAgainst your breast<\/p>\n

It makes me weak
\nTo remember how you used to hold me
\nAs close as we could be
\nBut now you prefer to be free
\nNow I’m not the dream you’d hoped for
\nYou don’t want to love the mess that’s reality<\/p>\n

I read the words you wrote of us
\nWhen your love was strong about me
\nAnd I can’t believe your feelings have fled
\nBut it feels like you’re gonna flee to be free<\/p>\n

I loved you too much baby – an obsession well it ain’t healthy
\nI gave enough love to make up for what you didn’t give me
\nIf you had said what you meant and meant what you said
\nThen I could have said this love was meant to be Heaven sent<\/p>\n

But the balance of our love had no even keel
\nSo we went around in circles
\nUntil our love got too dizzy
\nFor us to feel<\/p>\n

So now the end is near
\nAnd I’m feeling cold fear
\nAnd in every hello I sense your goodbye
\nThe end is oh so clear<\/p>\n

Sunday Morning<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday Morning comes<\/p>\n

And look out my window<\/p>\n

Sun is shining and people come<\/p>\n

Everywhere I turn I see you and \u201cme\u201ds<\/p>\n

And in the window on the balcony<\/p>\n

Come to me now<\/p>\n

Coz I held you through the night<\/p>\n

Come with me and it’ll be alright<\/p>\n

Every time I hold<\/p>\n

I feel a shiver down my spine<\/p>\n

Every time I’m with you<\/p>\n

I feel oh so fine<\/p>\n

\n

Come Monday morning<\/p>\n

Make my way to work<\/p>\n

People surround me<\/p>\n

But all I see is your face in front of me<\/p>\n

All I see is your love for me<\/p>\n

\n

Monday night I’m in your arms and held so tight<\/p>\n

Can not let this love linger or say goodbye<\/p>\n

Tuesday and Wednesday I’ll be working<\/p>\n

But all I’ll be thinking is<\/p>\n

\u201cme and you\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Thursday night we’ll meet for dinner<\/p>\n

I will drink to your happiness<\/p>\n

Friday night we’ll be together<\/p>\n

In states of undress<\/p>\n

It’s the best<\/p>\n

It’s the best<\/p>\n

\n

Saturday night comes<\/p>\n

Every thing will be done<\/p>\n

Saturday night will be fun<\/p>\n

We will be one<\/p>\n

You were going round<\/p>\n

\n

In the old town<\/p>\n

It’s your town<\/p>\n

\n

I travel far and I travel wide<\/p>\n

Every body leaves or dies in my life<\/p>\n

I won’t wait to see where you’ll be going<\/p>\n

\n

I didn’t need to know if you’d be leaving<\/p>\n

But love can come from anywhere<\/p>\n

I didn’t need to have a heart that cares<\/p>\n

I didn’t believe in looking for<\/p>\n

I just believed in searching for the truth<\/p>\n

\n

So I’ll be leaving you with the truth<\/p>\n

\n

Well if the rain comes to follow me<\/p>\n

I’ll take shelter where we used to be<\/p>\n

Where your love came in the middle of the night<\/p>\n

You know it’s right<\/p>\n

As it ties its lines around your mind<\/p>\n

It’s gonna<\/p>\n

I’m gonna feel love for you<\/p>\n

In the meantime<\/p>\n

Morning Glory<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

I was chilling out eating chilli chicken
\nat the Chop-Chop bar as the sun came down
\nMy friend kept footsyin’ me for fun
\nbut I didn’t get a kick from it cos u weren’t around<\/p>\n

The city sun is sliding westwards
\nand I know it’s going down on you somewhere
\nBut I wish it was me sliding down your body
\nYour arms touching my back as I kiss your hair<\/p>\n

At night I lay in my big empty bed
\nMemories come to keep me up
\nAnd as the dark fades to light and the birds start a singing
\nI’d take a sup of love from your cup<\/p>\n

Well the morning air smells as fresh as the silence
\nThat fades to the chorus of the calling birds
\nBut all I want on my waking lips
\nIs the taste of our love and the grace of your hips<\/p>\n

In my life I’ve loved a whole load of women
\nBut none have touched me as deep as you do
\nI’d like to sleep but the morning chorus
\nFills my dreams with the sound of you<\/p>\n

Closing Doors<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a9 Simon Smith 01\/05\/2005<\/p>\n

I feel like you’ve given up
\nAt night I wait for your goodnight call
\nBut you ain’t calling me before you sleep
\nYou ain’t hardly calling me at all<\/p>\n

You used to want to come and see me
\nBut now my weekends are sadly too free
\nYou used to want to sleep by me
\nNow there’s an empty echo of what used to be<\/p>\n

I can’t tell if you’re here or gone
\nYou can’t tell me if it’s right or wrong
\nI don’t know what it’s like in your shoes
\nBut you tell me that your minds all too confused<\/p>\n

I’ve been trying to find a new world
\nOne where you’re hardly here at all
\nBut my heart yearns for the old world
\nWhere you’d reach out when I call<\/p>\n

I know it ain’t right to cling on to the old days
\nI know if I let go I’ll find a better new way
\nBut what we had felt so good, felt like a dream come true
\nNow dreams aren’t real but at the time your love felt like you do
\nYour love felt like you do<\/p>\n

I know we spend so long looking at closed doors
\nThat those opened could have helped us move on a little more
\nI know that everything must come to pass
\nBut what has gone I felt would last
\nI know it was hard at times but if it’s love then it ain’t hard lines
\nIf it’s love then you deal with hard times if it was love then you’d still be mine.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

You tell me that you chose me<\/b><\/a>
\nThat you fell in love and want to be with me
\nI can feel it in your dreams
\nYou reach out in the night and hold me<\/p>\n

But you are like the sea
\nSometimes calm and serene
\nSometimes dark and stormy
\nWith secrets held beneath that I can’t see<\/p>\n

When you met me I stood on the shore
\nStraight and strong in the evening light
\nBut I have sailed upon you
\nAnd now my grip is less than tight<\/p>\n

Loving you gives me sea legs
\nYou want me to stand strong
\nBut your waves have cast a light upon me
\nThat makes my shadow long<\/p>\n

The tide is turning, we feel the change
\nThe air is still upon my lack of light
\nI am stranded in the midst of you
\nNo easy way of turning back tonight<\/p>\n

Keep
\nDon’t walk away
\nKeep the flow
\nThe night
\nAnd keep the day
\nCos i don’t know
\nWhy the sun shines<\/p>\n

Keep
\nCos i don’t know
\nWhy the sunshines<\/p>\n

Keep<\/p>\n

Keep
\nYourself from falling
\nDon’t fall this way
\nDon’t take your love away<\/p>\n

Keep keep calling
\nLife says the same
\nBut if you run then
\nKeep flying and walking
\nEverything comes your way
\nAnd you will stay
\nAnd you’ll stay
\nAnd you will stay<\/p>\n

Keep your driving
\nDon’t turn away
\nKeep keep your driving fast
\nDon’t run away
\nDon’t run away
\nJust go to the night at the edge of the day<\/p>\n

Keep keep your loving
\nDon’t throw me away
\nTake me in your arms and cry
\nTake me for the day
\nCos i will run away
\nI’ll run away<\/p>\n

Keep keep your calling
\nDon’t silence the phone
\nDon’t walk away
\nI need you
\nYou are my home<\/p>\n

I’ll keep running
\nRunning to you
\nThrough the day<\/p>\n

Don’t set me free
\nI’ll keep you here
\nYour heart is here
\nBut my mind ain’t clear
\nAnd i can’t run away
\nI can’t run away<\/p>\n

If our love binds our hearts
\nThen i won’t bind your hands
\nIf our love binds our hearts
\nThen we’ll both understand
\nThat we’ll keep running
\nAnd keep running in to each others hearts<\/p>\n

Keep keep me running
\nDon’t walk away
\nOur love fills the stars
\nOur sun lights the day<\/p>\n

I keep on keep on keep on running
\nKeep on running
\nKeep on running<\/p>\n

\n

\n

I hate waiting for you<\/b><\/a>
\nLife can feel that way sometimes
\nLooking out the widow too long
\nUnable to get on<\/p>\n

Wish we could just get on painlessly
\nThe hours pass by like a 12 mile train
\nAnd through every gap
\nI search for your face<\/p>\n

These feelings started young for me
\nWeek long gaps between being happy
\nWeak longing gaps
\nBetween me and she<\/p>\n

And when I wait for you
\nNot knowing when we’ll next meet
\nThose old familiar painful feelings
\nRise up inside and break upon me once more<\/p>\n

But I love you I don’t want to trap you
\nYour connection means you must be free
\nThe pain of letting you go
\nAllows you to freely come to me<\/p>\n

31 \/ 07 \/ 04<\/p>\n

\n

Mary sits at the caf\u00e9
\nWaiting for her friends
\nShe’s sitting there
\nWaiting till the end of the day
\nNow Mary’s gone away<\/p>\n

She waits in her house for her husband
\nShe takes herself to bed alone
\n5 AM in the morning he comes in
\nAnd silently slips in to her dreams<\/p>\n

Mary sits at the caf\u00e9
\nReading her life away
\nWaiting for the sun to pour in
\nWaiting for the dreams to stay
\nAt night Mary prays
\nThat life will get better someday
\nBut life doesn’t seem to want the games she plays
\nThe dreams betray
\nMary don’t dream don’t dream your life away
\nMary don’t dream your life away<\/p>\n

The sun it shines on Mary
\nAnd it dreams that one day she’ll run away
\nThe moon it listens to Mary’s prayers
\nAnd it prays that she’ll move away<\/p>\n

So Mary take your dreams
\nPack your bags and run away
\nSomewhere your dreams are waiting<\/p>\n

Waiting where your heart can play<\/p>\n

At night Mary prays
\nThat life will get better someday
\nBut life doesn’t seem to want the games she plays
\nThe dreams betray
\nMary don’t dream don’t dream your life away
\nMary don’t dream your life away<\/p>\n

These days are not for ever<\/a><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

These days are not for ever
\nThey will slide in to our history
\nLike paper on a river
\nOne day they’ll float out to sea<\/p>\n

These days are gonna float away<\/p>\n

Sometimes you’ll be here
\nTaking my heart
\nSome days you’ll feel here
\nAt the start<\/p>\n

But come to me
\nAnd you’ll feel my heart despair
\nAnd my breath upon your neck
\nAnd my face against your hair<\/p>\n

Sometimes you’ll feel that the night is dark as ice
\nAnd the love we had is all we had to guide us to paradise<\/p>\n

The darkest night will come to you
\nNo matter where you hide
\nIt’s part of life she says to me
\nAs she takes me inside<\/p>\n

But the darkest night
\nCan be warm inside
\nCan be warm
\nFor you and I<\/p>\n

We live in a world
\nWhere strangers come
\nAnd greet us like old friends
\nThey come with gifts that make us feel good
\nAnd leave us to defend against the hatred<\/p>\n

\nStanding at the bar
\nLooking around

11 o’clock down by the river side
\nThrowing stones<\/p>\n

Get in to my car drive around
\nGot no where to go<\/p>\n

\nWave her hair round
\nLook in to her eyes
\nTake a drive.<\/p>\n

\n

Well my time has come to say goodbye
\nAnd I don’t want to remember all the times that we tried
\nBut my heart is stalling
\nAnd I don’t know if you’ll be there
\nBut if you choose to will you remember me sometimes when I’m there
\nWell my tie has been coming and I don’t know what to say
\nBut my love has ended and gone away, oh yeah<\/p>\n

Well the sun it shines but the time is gone
\nAnd I know that I’ll forget you when you’re gone, oh yeah<\/p>\n

But the time has gone and I don’t know if I should run
\nBut my love has never begun, oh no<\/p>\n

Will you cry when I’m gone,
\nWill you love will you sing
\nWell the times are changing
\nThe times they are changing<\/p>\n

\nGonna keep my woman
\nGonna take my day
\nGonna love, love, love
\nTill you break it away girl<\/p>\n

Everybody wants to know what happened to Jules and Romeo<\/a><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Well they ran off together
\nAcross the sea In a boat built for two to
\nUruguay \/ south America
\nThat’s the place they wanted to be<\/p>\n

Romeo he loved Juliet
\nAnd they found a place to be
\nTook their time as we all do
\nNow they’ve got their own family<\/p>\n

Everybody’s dancing in their place everybody’s having fun
\nEverybody back home wants to run them down and speak of what they done, BUT
\nEverybody’s having fun dancing round to the crack of dawn
\nEverybody in their place is laughing dancing and having fun<\/p>\n

Romeo followed Juliet
\nWell he used to smoke a cigarette
\nand he used to strut around
\nBut in time he stepped off the merry-go-round<\/p>\n

Romeo and Juliet didn’t die like the story says<\/p>\n

Sometimes stories have happy endings
\nSometimes people live a good life
\nSometimes people have lots of children
\nSometimes together as husband and wife<\/p>\n

Love doesn’t have to be
\nA pain filled tragedy
\nIt’s a gamble for everybody
\nWell R and J they got lucky<\/p>\n

So don’t feel bad for those who are happy
\nDon’t feel too sad if you are not
\nYour time will come when it is ready
\nAnd it’ll come if you’re ready or not
\nBecause Love comes once in a while
\nSometimes it stays and sometimes not
\nSometimes it’s there for ever and ever<\/p>\n

Did you want them to you be happy? Or did you want them to fade away?<\/p>\n

Well they are not fading away, everybody is knocking on their door
\nEverybody is coming to their house to dance and sing ’till the crack of dawn
\nSo Romeo and Juliet are having a good time by the sea
\nSinging and dancing with their friends living their lives in harmony<\/p>\n

You can make the streams run dry<\/p>\n

I can sing to you a golden song<\/p>\n

But won’t listen won’t even try<\/p>\n

\n

In the night I can hold you<\/p>\n

Keep your fear aligned to fright<\/p>\n

And though I know it’s time to go<\/p>\n

It’s time to leave you searching for rain<\/p>\n

\n

Keep me here talking to you<\/p>\n

Every moment of sleep<\/p>\n

Oh my, I feel you searching<\/p>\n

\n

Can you tell me where your love has gone<\/p>\n

Can you tell me if we’ll ever be in each others arms again<\/p>\n

Can you tell me if we’ll ever be friends, each other’s only friends again<\/p>\n

Could you over throw the past for us?<\/p>\n

\n

Without your memory dear enemy<\/p>\n

Love will summon you to start<\/p>\n

I don’t know if I should stay<\/p>\n

But I just can not pull away<\/p>\n

I can not pull away<\/p>\n

\n

Will you flee once the door is cast aside<\/p>\n

\n

Through the night sky I will find you<\/p>\n

I will come and call your name<\/p>\n

Through the night sky I will blind you<\/p>\n

I will come and call your name<\/p>\n

\n

Can you tell me where we’re going<\/p>\n

Can you tell me what we’ll find<\/p>\n

Can you tell me if our love<\/p>\n

Is always on your mind<\/p>\n

\n

Can you tell that you love me<\/p>\n

Can you tell me that you heard<\/p>\n

Can you tell me if forever is a word<\/p>\n

That you wish I’d sing to you<\/p>\n

To sing to you<\/p>\n

To sing to you<\/p>\n

To sing to you<\/p>\n

Life shines over your shoulder<\/p>\n

And guides you to where you are<\/p>\n

But there are times<\/p>\n

When this love of of love won’t know we’ve gone too far<\/p>\n

\n

A light shines through the window<\/p>\n

You turn to me and smile<\/p>\n

You’re standing in the headlights<\/p>\n

Of a car that goes unkown<\/p>\n

\n

And when I look back<\/p>\n

You’ll be gone<\/p>\n

The summer shadow shines<\/p>\n

A long time after you’ve gone<\/p>\n

\n

A long time after you’ve gone<\/p>\n

I’ll hear you<\/p>\n

A long time after you’ve gone<\/p>\n

I’ll hear your words<\/p>\n

That I miss you<\/p>\n

And though I know it’s time<\/p>\n

I just don’t want<\/p>\n

To let time fly<\/p>\n

\n

Sometimes the pain is easy to bear<\/p>\n

Sometimes I feel you everywhere<\/p>\n

But it is time<\/p>\n

To let go<\/p>\n

You surround me<\/p>\n

You surround me<\/p>\n

There was a time when we had to heal<\/p>\n

There’s a time when our love goes out to sea<\/p>\n

And though I miss you<\/p>\n

When rain falls<\/p>\n

Those summer shadows and your words they call<\/p>\n

Those summer shadows and your words they call<\/p>\n

\n

I call you now<\/p>\n

You turn my way<\/p>\n

The sun shines through your hair just like it did that day<\/p>\n

But you’re not here<\/p>\n

It was a dream that won’t come true<\/p>\n

It’s just enough time<\/p>\n

To say goodbye to you<\/p>\n

And though the sun goes<\/p>\n

And the shadows grew so long<\/p>\n

What did you do when you found the rain had gone<\/p>\n

What did you do with a million birds that had flown away<\/p>\n

What was it like to be alone on a sunny day<\/p>\n

\n

Loves comes in funny ways or so they say<\/p>\n

You walk backwards to this house<\/p>\n

Walk up the stairs and lay back down by me<\/p>\n

As I fall asleep and dream<\/p>\n

\n

When I wake I feel you<\/p>\n

But it’s a funny old world<\/p>\n

Coz I missed you before<\/p>\n

Before you went away<\/p>\n

\n

Your fingers through my hair<\/p>\n

Dance with me up and down<\/p>\n

Guide me to the place<\/p>\n

Where we cut our way<\/p>\n

Will you still be holding me tomorrow?<\/p>\n

Where will the night leave you?<\/p>\n

Where will the darkness keep you?<\/p>\n

Come Home<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier version<\/a><\/p>\n

Original – recorded as it was made up -.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a fast feel good pop song with lyrics about being left behind in the real world while one’s partner gets absorbed in to the virtual one.<\/p>\n

Story Behind the Song<\/p>\n

I wrote this song after spending too much time playing a computer game called “Unreal Tournament” online, also one of my girlfriends had called herself a Cubase Widow, (Cubase is a program for writing music using a computer). I was struck too by the way in which we see computers as a hi tech device for giving satisfaction to our more base tendencies, (sex and violence), and how it can also be used in our search for romantic illusions, such as romantic relationships on the web. I had heard of a few marriages coming to a sticky end as a result of one of the partners surfing off with someone else.<\/p>\n

When we wrote this song Cormac had come over and we were ploughing through song ideas. Normally we’d get 10 ideas down per day and “Come Home” was just 1 of 10 that day. The way we worked was to leave the microphone on and the recorder running continually so that what ever happened got captured. Cormac would play a tune and I would ad lib in to the mic. Almost all of the words to come home (except the last verse) were written there and then.<\/p>\n

From that point the song was taken by several producers and finally the one by Alistair McMillan (He who has produced Enya, U2, and Mark Knopfler) was chosen.<\/p>\n

Come Home<\/p>\n

Lyrics by Simon Smith (c)2000 London<\/p>\n

I’ve walked down the computer game roads<\/p>\n

Of your mind,<\/p>\n

In the darkness of night I’ve<\/p>\n

Crept up behind,<\/p>\n

And grabbed you round the waist and said,<\/p>\n

“Come back now in to our bed”<\/p>\n

“Leave those monsters to fight alone now darlin’ “<\/p>\n

“Come back home my darling.”<\/p>\n

I’ve walked down the corridors of your mind<\/p>\n

Why do you want to leave your life behind?<\/p>\n

I’ve walked down the computer game roads of your mind,<\/p>\n

In the darkness of night I felt you leave me behind,<\/p>\n

From the wasted cities of the web<\/p>\n

Come back now into our bed<\/p>\n

Without your heart its not a home my darling<\/p>\n

Please come home darling<\/p>\n

I walked down the corridors of your mind<\/p>\n

Why do want to leave your life behind<\/p>\n

Oh Baby come home now<\/p>\n

Take the modem from the phone now<\/p>\n

Please come home my love<\/p>\n

If you don’t care then I don’t mind<\/p>\n

I walked down the corridors of your mind<\/p>\n

Watched you flying on the line<\/p>\n

I walked down the corridors of your mind<\/p>\n

Why do you want to leave your life behind?<\/p>\n

Hey girl<\/p>\n

watched you flying on the line<\/p>\n

watched you flying on the line<\/p>\n

Please come home my love<\/p>\n

Please come home my love<\/p>\n

GRITTY<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

The Story Behind the Song<\/h3>\n

It’s about how relationships go through problems and how during these times we often say what we don’t really want to say. It’s also about the fear that often sits in the background of our relationships and the desire to be known both in our good and bad guises.<\/p>\n

\n

I was lying on the road
\nLooking at my skin
\nI said hey baby
\nWill you come and look in?<\/p>\n

I was pleading don’t you leave me
\nI was begging you don’t forsake me
\nI could tell the sight weren’t pretty
\nBut sometimes love gets gritty<\/p>\n

I was lying beside you
\nThrough a long dark night
\nI was holding your hand oh so tight
\nI was thinking about you leaving
\nAbout you going away
\nYou woke to find me praying begging you to stay<\/p>\n

Love it’s a dark time
\nSo love welcome to my dark mind<\/p>\n

I was walking a long road
\nTrying to find my way
\nI was telling you to go
\nBut hoping you would stay
\nI was giving you this shit
\n‘Cause you’d given some to me
\nI was blinding you with words
\nBut hoping you’d see through me
\nBut sometimes love gets gritty<\/p>\n

FOR YOU<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

(\u00a0Original Version\u00a0<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I wrote this about my sons, when I wrote it I’d just seen them on a scan.<\/p>\n

COPYRIGHT SIMON SMITH. LONDON. 16 JUNE 94<\/p>\n

The first time I saw you baby
\nYou were lying in a pool
\nThe image remaining hazy
\nAs summer dreams always do
\nI was trying to contact you
\nI was trying to Visualise living with you
\nMy loves I could feel you calling
\nSwimming around my heart
\nI could hold you forever
\nAnd we’d never part
\nI’ll be flying for you
\nI’ll be crying for you
\nI’ll be dancing, singing,
\nLoving living
\nFor you my love you my love.<\/p>\n

I was calling from
\nA staircase in my mind<\/p>\n

You were stretched across
\nThe skies of dreams I’d left behind
\nYou were spinning around
\nLike a bridal gown
\nLike a shadow moves on open ground
\nLike a summers swirling cloud of rain
\nLike an angel comes to live again
\nI was trying to throw you words
\nLike I catch a ball [I’m hopeless at catching balls]
\nI was trying to get through life
\nBy not living at all, but now
\nI’m flying for you
\nI’m crying for you
\nI’m dancing, singing,
\nLoving living for you
\nMy loves……<\/p>\n

Come Home<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier version<\/a><\/p>\n

Come Home Original<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

This is a fast feel good pop song with lyrics about being left behind in the real world while one’s partner gets absorbed in to the virtual one.<\/p>\n

\n

Story Behind the Song<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

I wrote this song after spending too much time playing a computer game called “Unreal Tournament” online, also one of my girlfriends had called herself a Cubase Widow, (Cubase is a program for writing music using a computer). I was struck too by the way in which we see computers as a hi tech device for giving satisfaction to our more base tendencies, (sex and violence), and how it can also be used in our search for romantic illusions, such as romantic relationships on the web. I had heard of a few marriages coming to a sticky end as a result of one of the partners surfing off with someone else.<\/p>\n

When we wrote this song Cormac had come over and we were ploughing through song ideas. Normally we’d get 10 ideas down per day and “Come Home” was just 1 of 10 that day. The way we worked was to leave the microphone on and the recorder running continually so that what ever happened got captured. Cormac would play a tune and I would ad lib in to the mic. Almost all of the words to come home (except the last verse) were written there and then.<\/p>\n

To hear the recording of us creating the song click here<\/a><\/p>\n

From that point the song was taken by several producers and finally the one by Alistair McMillan (He who has produced Enya, U2, and Mark Knopfler) was chosen.<\/p>\n

Come Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lyrics by Simon Smith (c)2000 London<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve walked down the computer game roads<\/p>\n

Of your mind,<\/p>\n

In the darkness of night I’ve<\/p>\n

Crept up behind,<\/p>\n

And grabbed you round the waist and said,<\/p>\n

“Come back now in to our bed”<\/p>\n

“Leave those monsters to fight alone now darlin’ “<\/p>\n

“Come back home my darling.”<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve walked down the corridors of your mind<\/p>\n

Why do you want to leave your life behind?<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve walked down the computer game roads of your mind,<\/p>\n

In the darkness of night I felt you leave me behind,<\/p>\n

From the wasted cities of the web<\/p>\n

Come back now into our bed<\/p>\n

Without your heart its not a home my darling<\/p>\n

Please come home darling<\/p>\n

\n

I walked down the corridors of your mind<\/p>\n

Why do want to leave your life behind<\/p>\n

\n

Oh Baby come home now<\/p>\n

Take the modem from the phone now<\/p>\n

Please come home my love<\/p>\n

\n

If you don’t care then I don’t mind<\/p>\n

I walked down the corridors of your mind<\/p>\n

Watched you flying on the line<\/p>\n

I walked down the corridors of your mind<\/p>\n

Why do you want to leave your life behind?<\/p>\n

Hey girl<\/p>\n

watched you flying on the line<\/p>\n

watched you flying on the line<\/p>\n

Please come home my love<\/p>\n

Please come home my love<\/p>\n

My Girl Says<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

My girl says<\/p>\n

Get out of bed and wash your hair<\/p>\n

(I stumble and fall)<\/p>\n

Time is moving on<\/p>\n

For playing about and singing your songs<\/p>\n

Time is moving on<\/p>\n

For laying around your whole life long<\/p>\n

(We lie beside each other through the night)<\/p>\n

And we laugh as the fishes on the plate smile back in the morning light<\/p>\n

And in the morning I will not be found<\/p>\n

My love is not forever and a day<\/p>\n

Do not expect to find me here<\/p>\n

(Is it for me you cry at night
\nor is it a ghost out of sight?)<\/p>\n

My message is clear<\/p>\n

Stuck to you<\/p>\n

My message is clear<\/p>\n

Stuck to you<\/p>\n

Stuck to you<\/p>\n

Fly away<\/p>\n

I can’t see if the sun ain’t gonna shine with me<\/p>\n

Stuck to you<\/p>\n

Well the rain poured down upon the sea of Galilee<\/p>\n

And we laugh \u2018til the fishes on the plate smile back in the morning light<\/p>\n

And we laugh \u2018til the fishes on the plate smile back in the morning light<\/p>\n

Wash your hair<\/p>\n

Stuck to you<\/p>\n

Stuck to you<\/p>\n

My message is clear<\/p>\n

Stuck to you<\/p>\n

Stuck to you<\/p>\n

Dolphin Song<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Blue and red lights in my head<\/p>\n

As the lighthouse lights up your bed<\/p>\n

Dolphins swim and sing out your name<\/p>\n

As we sail around this dream again<\/p>\n

\n

Take me back to your place<\/p>\n

Wrap me up in a dream space<\/p>\n

I live in fear of everything<\/p>\n

When you’re not here<\/p>\n

We’re going on a holiday<\/p>\n

For a week or two<\/p>\n

Gonna run away<\/p>\n

From the real me and you<\/p>\n

Gonna see some sights<\/p>\n

Gonna have some fun nights<\/p>\n

We’re going on a holiday<\/p>\n

For a year or two<\/p>\n

We’re gonna stop swimming in this<\/p>\n

Life of blue<\/p>\n

[\u00a0different section kicks in\u00a0<\/em>]<\/p>\n

We’re gonna swim in the red sea<\/p>\n

Gonna make love eternally<\/p>\n

We’re gonna brush our hands upon<\/p>\n

The long grass of song<\/p>\n

All summer long<\/p>\n

\n

We’re gonna ride an internet love<\/p>\n

We’re gonna ride forever our love<\/p>\n

\u2018Gonna dance in circles around a tree<\/p>\n

\u2018Gonna carve your love eternally<\/p>\n

[\u00a0different section kicks in\u00a0<\/em>]<\/p>\n

And I know we’re gonna have a real good time<\/p>\n

In this eternal summer time<\/p>\n

\n

[\u00a0break\u00a0<\/em>]<\/p>\n

\n

We’re gonna watch the sun go down<\/p>\n

Gonna feel the water swirl around our feet<\/p>\n

Dancing people in the town square<\/p>\n

Doing the waltz everywhere<\/p>\n

Gonna go away<\/p>\n

Get away today<\/p>\n

Gonna love eternally<\/p>\n

Let’s go on our holiday<\/p>\n

I Was Talking To Bruce Springsteen<\/p>\n

And he said to me<\/p>\n

That he don’t like Pink Cadillacs<\/p>\n

He wasn’t born to be free<\/p>\n

He’s not sure after all if it’s the land of the free<\/p>\n

\n

I was talking to Elvis<\/p>\n

He said he prefers a Big Mac<\/p>\n

To McDonalds any day, now<\/p>\n

He don’t like to play now<\/p>\n

\n

I was talking to Winston Churchill<\/p>\n

Says he only smokes cigars<\/p>\n

To rid his mouth of<\/p>\n

Words that were aimed to kill<\/p>\n

\n

I was talking to Marilyn<\/p>\n

Says she don’t like that sex thing<\/p>\n

Says she’d like to just cuddle up<\/p>\n

With a president and a cup<\/p>\n

Tell Me A Secret<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh I’d like to tell you how I feel<\/p>\n

But my days are dead<\/p>\n

And my mouth is sealed<\/p>\n

I’d like to<\/p>\n

Whisper to you<\/p>\n

But I know if you’re there<\/p>\n

That you won’t care<\/p>\n

But I’ll wait<\/p>\n

Wait here<\/p>\n

Again and again.<\/p>\n

\n

But I’ll have to<\/p>\n

Though I wouldn’t know<\/p>\n

If it hurt my fingers so<\/p>\n

Just to be<\/p>\n

I’ll take your word for it<\/p>\n

I used to wonder why<\/p>\n

I felt so sad<\/p>\n

You still ask the old man<\/p>\n

If they could tell me a secret<\/p>\n

If he could tell me how to keep it<\/p>\n

If they could help me through<\/p>\n

But life goes on<\/p>\n

And sadness falls<\/p>\n

Around your feet<\/p>\n

Like a flag<\/p>\n

That’s faded to a sheet<\/p>\n

Like a dance<\/p>\n

You point your finger<\/p>\n

To friends in the sky<\/p>\n

I stand still<\/p>\n

I weave a dance around<\/p>\n

Dance around you<\/p>\n

\n

Well they dance around me<\/p>\n

Their faces lit by the fire<\/p>\n

I’ve come to you in a dream<\/p>\n

To tell you that things ain’t what they seem<\/p>\n

I’ve come to you in a darkest night<\/p>\n

Baby I’ll need you to hold me tight<\/p>\n

I don’t know where we’re going now<\/p>\n

I don’t know if we’ll travel far and wide<\/p>\n

But I’ve got this feeling<\/p>\n

About you and I<\/p>\n

It hurts me deep inside<\/p>\n

So reach out to me<\/p>\n

Tell me your story<\/p>\n

Tell me that you love<\/p>\n

Let me feel your breath<\/p>\n

Upon my face<\/p>\n

Do you hold me in your heart<\/p>\n

I’d like to tell you how I feel<\/p>\n

But I’m not sure if this love’s real<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if this love’s real<\/p>\n

\n

So hold me tonight<\/p>\n

Hold me \u2018til the light of dawn<\/p>\n

Hold me \u2018til<\/p>\n

Our love is torn away<\/p>\n

Our love will time the sun<\/p>\n

Our love will ride away<\/p>\n

Standing In A Dark Valley<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m standing in a dark valley<\/p>\n

Watching a hundred planes fly by<\/p>\n

Passing around a red sky<\/p>\n

\n

You look at me<\/p>\n

I look at you<\/p>\n

We don’t know<\/p>\n

What’s left to do<\/p>\n

\n

Everybody’s running around<\/p>\n

People trying to find the ground<\/p>\n

Don’t know what to do<\/p>\n

With these words for you<\/p>\n

\n

Smell something’s in the air<\/p>\n

People running everywhere<\/p>\n

Hold my hand and run<\/p>\n

Run towards the sun<\/p>\n

Batman baby<\/p>\n

Where were you<\/p>\n

When I needed you?<\/p>\n

Batman baby<\/p>\n

It’s so strange that the devil came true<\/p>\n

\n

Saw you whisper something to a man<\/p>\n

I never knew before<\/p>\n

Never even saw him before<\/p>\n

Where did all the strangers come from?<\/p>\n

Why can’t I hear them speak?<\/p>\n

Where did they come from?<\/p>\n

I will have to search<\/p>\n

Through the darkness of this valley night<\/p>\n

Thought I was a safe<\/p>\n

Within your hand so tight<\/p>\n

Looked out to sea<\/p>\n

Only to be held by a memory<\/p>\n

Looked out to sea<\/p>\n

And you were gone<\/p>\n

\n

Batman baby<\/p>\n

Could have done with you<\/p>\n

Where were you when I needed you?<\/p>\n

\n

I heard a scientist say<\/p>\n

That it takes<\/p>\n

15 minutes<\/p>\n

For your mind to<\/p>\n

Fade away<\/p>\n

15 minutes to go<\/p>\n

There’s something I want to know<\/p>\n

You were a friend<\/p>\n

Drove me round the bend<\/p>\n

And I didn’t even know where we’re going<\/p>\n

When I found my way back<\/p>\n

You were at your wedding<\/p>\n

Down the track<\/p>\n

You waved to come on in<\/p>\n

My friend<\/p>\n

You put your arm out to hold me<\/p>\n

Had to say it felt risqu\u00e9<\/p>\n

Jumping on a moving train<\/p>\n

Jumping on and off a train<\/p>\n

\n

1 minute to go<\/p>\n

I feel like I’m at a show<\/p>\n

Watch you go<\/p>\n

In to the darkness you flow<\/p>\n

Never to be seen again<\/p>\n

Thank you for being a friend<\/p>\n

Glad you were a friend<\/p>\n

Even if you drove me round the bend.<\/p>\n

The way you move me<\/p>\n

Well sometimes you have to face the facts<\/p>\n

You have to look at your computer<\/p>\n

And you have to get that answer from going<\/p>\n

You have to understand<\/p>\n

Why your speakers cut out<\/p>\n

Why your computer don’t work<\/p>\n

Why your girl friend went away<\/p>\n

Why the sun shines<\/p>\n

Why you get up each day<\/p>\n

And you have to work out<\/p>\n

Why you want to live<\/p>\n

Why you want to walk<\/p>\n

Through the rain in summer days<\/p>\n

And why winter days feel snug<\/p>\n

And the summer days sometimes bring bad luck<\/p>\n

And you need to know why the sun don’t shine all the time<\/p>\n

I didn’t like to leave you alone<\/p>\n

And I don’t why<\/p>\n

Those speakers cut out like that<\/p>\n

And I don’t know why<\/p>\n

Our love just cut out so fast<\/p>\n

And I have to wonder<\/p>\n

What Elvis would do<\/p>\n

If he was here<\/p>\n

I can hear myself<\/p>\n

Sounding like them<\/p>\n

Right now I sound<\/p>\n

More like him<\/p>\n

Where will you go<\/p>\n

How will you move<\/p>\n

Give you a map<\/p>\n

I was lying on the road Looking at my skin I said hey baby Will you come and look in? I was pleading don’t you leave me I was begging you don’t forsake me I could tell the sight weren’t pretty But sometimes love gets gritty I was lying beside you Through a long dark night I was holding your hand oh so tight I was thinking about you leaving About you going away You woke to find me praying begging you to stay Love it’s a dark time So love welcome to my dark mind I was walking a long road Trying to find my way I was telling you to go But hoping you would stay I was giving you this shit ‘Cause you’d given some to me I was blinding you with words But hoping you’d see through me But sometimes love gets gritty<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Johnny talked to Sue While she’d wait for the forty two He’d make her laugh He’d make her cry He’d make her time fly by Johnny leased a car from motability [disability car leasing charity] And drove it ’round Sue’s vicinity And one day stopped and said to Sue “Do you want to get in with me” He’d make her laugh He’d make her cry He’d make her time fly by Johnny and Sue grew closer every day Thought their love would never go away Entwined under the burning sun Their life together had begun He’d make her laugh He’d make her cry He’d make her time fly by Sue’s mother would often warn Of the burden Johnny’d be Sue’s father said she loved out of sympathy And for Johnny’s sake she should leave him And for their sake she did He’d make her laugh He’d make her cry He’d make her time fly by A year went by in silence But the kind that said it all When Sue left home to live She didn’t laugh no more<\/p>\n

One Hundred Miles An Hour<\/a><\/h3>\n

Copyright Simon Smith London 1994<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

One hundred miles an hour On a deserted road to Madrid The sun sets the road on fire While a bride in black dances for a lift Angels come to cool my brow With visions of the here and now The silent thoughts that pass us by With electric words that haunt the sky The city greets us like we’re old friends While Jesus, his arms outstretched, Tells us to come again And the US jets circle overhead If you forgive they won’t forget In this land of grace We came and went without a trace August 1989 We drove fast to the borderline I could feel the Angels flying Backwards against time At one hundred miles an hour On a deserted road to Madrid An Angel passed in reverse Revealing the size of the universe<\/p>\n

Second Best
\n<\/a>14.3.1990 Simon Smith<\/a><\/h3>\n

Sometimes you’re going, going away I call from my bed, but you won’t stay When I wake up it’s the middle of the day Sometimes my life just goes that way. Somedays we’re friends others we’re not Somedays I have what you’d call a lot Somedays I haven’t what others have got Some days I have what I wish I had not Some live for money some for love Some like to push some like to shove Some like to live some want to die Some sit still while others try to fly Mud on your hands and blood in your eye You kissed my heart with the sweetest lie Pulled the sheets over my head Closed the door and left me for dead. Sometimes we’ve been running running for so long That we exchange our lives for a pocket full of songs Sometimes we put on our bulletproof vests And exchange a life of loving for a love that’s second best.<\/p>\n

The Early Morning Routine<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

The Early Morning Routine The early morning routine I lie in bed while you make tea I ask if there’s any post You want to know if I feel guilty. The early morning routine You close the door Say goodbye to me You call out five times And I call out three \u00a0 The early morning routine I wave from the window You wave from the road As you cycle off below. The early morning routine A goodbye kiss, a “will you miss?” A clear idea of where we went wrong The uncertainty of just how long. The early morning routine Grows longer every day. 20.3.1990 copyright Simon Smith.<\/p>\n

Found out the hard way<\/p>\n

That if you don’t understand<\/p>\n

You’ll be misunderstood<\/p>\n

And the light<\/p>\n

Keeps on shining<\/p>\n

And the love keeps<\/p>\n

On hurting<\/p>\n

I will be<\/p>\n

I will be near you<\/p>\n

But my heart<\/p>\n

Is over you<\/p>\n

But my heart is over you<\/p>\n

I’ll be crying<\/p>\n

I’ll be crying for you<\/p>\n

\n

At night the streets are full of people<\/p>\n

Looking for dreams that won’t come in sleep<\/p>\n

Sometimes I get on my bike<\/p>\n

And ride through these dreams<\/p>\n

Like a prop in a scene<\/p>\n

Take roads where<\/p>\n

Emptiness runs free<\/p>\n

Where emptiness runs free<\/p>\n

\n

I was struck by lightening<\/p>\n

A fire is burning<\/p>\n

The sky is<\/p>\n

Crying<\/p>\n

\n

I was travelling to you<\/p>\n

But my heart ain’t over you<\/p>\n

I was crying<\/p>\n

I’ll be crying for you<\/p>\n

But my heart ain’t over you<\/p>\n

I will be running<\/p>\n

I will be running to you<\/p>\n

“One Hundred Miles An Hour”<\/a><\/p>\n

Copyright Simon Smith London 1994<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

One hundred miles an hour On a deserted road to Madrid The sun sets the road on fire While a bride in black dances for a lift Angels come to cool my brow With visions of the here and now The silent thoughts that pass us by With electric words that haunt the sky The city greets us like we’re old friends While Jesus, his arms outstretched, Tells us to come again And the US jets circle overhead If you forgive they won’t forget In this land of grace We came and went without a trace August 1989 We drove fast to the borderline I could feel the Angels flying Backwards against time At one hundred miles an hour On a deserted road to Madrid An Angel passed in reverse Revealing the size of the universe<\/p>\n

IF YOU FALL<\/a>
\n(Original version<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0Ideas version<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Copyright Simon Smith 3rd Feb 1994<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe next time you’re in town we’ll talk of old times I’ll recite your letters baby and you’ll forget mine We were only playing when you first said love me So I asked how long will it last and you said catch me I’ve got a friend who says that you’re the enemy So when we meet we’ll speak diplomatically And when we reminisce it’ll be selectively And when we kiss it’ll be selectively \u00a0 So stay a while, go back in time Put your breast to this heart of mine The memory lies, but the feeling’s true So if you fall then I’ll catch you And if you fall then I’ll catch you You run around town in your wedding dress The fabric is perfect, but your life is a mess It’s so easy to get the issue confused The memory lies but the feeling’s true So if you fall then I’ll catch you And if you fall then I’ll catch you Then I’ll catch you \u00a0 So if you fall then I’ll catch you.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 The sun was red in a hazy sky I could taste your sweat as you walked by Our bodies were dancing in fluid air Our minds were singing “I don’t care” I could feel your weight as you stood there. I could feel the softness of your hair I could feel the pain of losing you And the red sky Turns blue. And the red sky Turns blue. Summer sun nights Green and white neon light The distant sound of TV Breathless you lie beside me. The street light across your body Cries out for the moon I could have sworn that I loved you From the depths of your room It was one of those yellow red evenings When Life was receding Into a night of sweat and sleepless breathing The street light across your body Cries out for the moon I could have sworn that I loved you From the depths of your womb You could let your mind get high While your mouth drinks from the sky You could open your windows wide And let your body float or fly The morning air is moving in Like a thief steals a kiss upon your skin I could have sworn that he loved you But who knows who speaks the truth?<\/p>\n

So why’d do you want to let me go so lonely \u00a0 In the half light you looked so beautiful Like a dream that I will never see again In the half light you left me feeling terrible Like I’d never breathe again \u00a0 So why’d do you want to let me feel like dying? \u00a0 Used to believe what you said But the sky was our love and our love was red I used to think it was dusk But the Sun had just risen a warning on us Well I’m crying, crying, I’m crying So why’d do you want to let me go so lonely Well I’m crying, crying, I’m crying.<\/p>\n

On sunny afternoons I like to get in my car and cruise But I’d be crazy to think that’s where I’d find you. And where the wind carresses you I’d like to be there too But I’ll be crazy dreaming my life away I get up and work so hard Just so I can make myself tired And go to sleep And dream of you. Sometimes I can almost touch your face Sometimes I feel our embrace And I’d be crazy Not to be in love with you. \u00a0 The clouds are crying “will you be mine?” But I’d be crazy Not to be trying. I lie in bed and dream of you And one day that dream’s gonna come true And then I’ll dream with you.<\/p>\n

The first time I saw you baby You were lying in a pool The image remaining hazy As summer dreams always do I was trying to contact you I was trying to Visualise living with you My loves I could feel you calling Swimming around my heart I could hold you forever And we’d never part \u00a0 I’ll be flying for you I’ll be crying for you I’ll be dancing, singing, Loving living For you my love you my love. I was calling from A staircase in my mind You were stretched across The skies of dreams I’d left behind \u00a0 You were spinning around Like a bridal gown Like a shadow moves on open ground Like a summers swirling cloud of rain Like an angel comes to live again I was trying to throw you words Like I catch a ball [I’m hopeless at catching balls] I was trying to get through life By not living at all, but now I’m flying for you I’m crying for you I’m dancing, singing, Loving living for you My loves……<\/p>\n

I could see your eyes move my way I tried to ignore the games we play But I was powerless to resist The healing touch of tenderness Because you can’t always remember What you tried to forget No you can’t always remember What you tried to forget I was up all night Watched the sky roll by But if there’s no love Then my heart will die And if you’re feeling emptiness You need the touch of tenderness And if you’re feeling in distress Come in from the wilderness Because you can’t always remember What you tried to forget No you can’t always remember What you tried to forget Well take care my baby There’s something I’ve got to tell you Those skies are grey Where your eyes were blue And if you’re feeling emptiness You need the touch of tenderness And if you’re feeling in distress Come in from the wilderness Because you can’t always remember What you tried to forget No you can’t always remember What you tried, what you tried to forget<\/p>\n

It was a clear day, January 1994 The sea had risen to my front door You were sleeping in a boat That gently drifted to the shore And I wonder if you still dream of me If you still care about what used to be. It was a clear day The sky was a spacious kind of blue I saw a plane’s trail like a memory fade Reminded me of you. Dorothy was on the TV Her songs she sang so sweetly She said how much she needed me And home is where the heart used to be Sometimes I sit and pretend, we’re living by the sea The waves are breaking our hearts, Where the front door used to be Sometimes I sit and wonder if you remember me Sometimes I sit and pretend what couldn’t would have been It was a clear day, January 1994, The waves were breaking our hearts, against the door. And I wander if you care, if you know, That I think of you sometimes And I wonder if you still dream of me If you still care for what used to be. The lights go out and the curtains close The houses moor for the night I sing of you While you put out the harbour lights It was a clear day, January 1994 The sea had risen to my front door You were sleeping in a boat That gently drifted to the shore And I wonder if you still dream of me If you still care about what used to be.<\/p>\n

PLASTIC RED<\/a><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

Sometimes I drive the long way home
\nI like the feeling of driving alone
\nSometimes I stop at the riverside
\nWatch kids doing dances that I never tried.<\/span><\/p>\n

“She lay back
\nHer lips were plastic red
\nShe was an Angel
\nSo I tried playing dead”<\/span><\/p>\n

The kids were dancing around the slide
\nThe police were giving tickets for a ride
\nAnd you were trying not to conceal
\nThat you don’t feel, you don’t feel,
\nThat you don’t feel real<\/span><\/p>\n

The sirens are screaming like justice with a gun
\n“I may have been wrong, but I had a lot of fun
\nThe ends may not always justify the means
\nExcuse me a minute, but I’ve got another street to clean”<\/span><\/p>\n

I know that the sun will no longer set in your eyes
\nI wish we had some time to say hello, and kiss goodbye. (Rpt)

OASIS SMILE<\/a><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

(original version)<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n


\n<\/span>(COPYRIGHT SIMON SMITH JAN 1993 AND JAN 1994)<\/span><\/h2>\n

I’ve got a song, I’m gonna sing it,
\nAbout the wrong and how you did it,
\nSo place your sights upon my heart,
\nSqueeze the trigger as our lips part<\/span><\/p>\n

Eden, Gethsemanie,
\nDance in circles as I climb the tree,
\nIf I fall it was never to be,
\nI’ll get up after ten “Hail Mary’s”.<\/p>\n

I know you’ll be lying on a bed alone,
\nI know you’ll be waiting by the telephone,
\nI know you’ve been waiting a long long time,
\nI know you’ll be placing your mouth to mine.<\/p>\n

“Don’t wait for me you know it’s been too long,
\nCan’t turn your right in to my wrong.”<\/p>\n

Let’s go out in to the dark,
\nAnd sing to stars of broken hearts,
\nLet’s cleanse our minds in Eden\u2019s streams
\nAnd dream of things we’ve never seen.<\/p>\n

Deep mysterious blue, that’s where I found you,
\nSleeping out on the cool still lawn,
\nYour body naked in the light of the dawn.<\/p>\n

Love comes today then blows away,
\nDrive to the dream town, drive on down.
\nYou’re gonna see today
\nThe way our love was thrown away,
\nYou’re gonna hear today
\nThe words the devil likes to say.<\/p>\n

Love comes and goes
\nAnd how the wind blows,
\nDrive right on down,
\nPark your heart in the dream town.<\/p>\n

Through the flames of a midnight fire,
\nYou took my breath away,
\nThe flick of your fingers,
\nThe moment lingers.”Don’t wait for me you know it’s been too long,<\/p>\n

Can’t turn your right in to my wrong.”
\n“My baby’s on a desert track I don’t think she’s ever coming back,”
\nHallucinations you can’t walk through,
\nGuess I’m better off without you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The vultures fly in the shape of a heart,
\nI walk in circles while you play the part,
\nI used to know what you wanted to be,
\nNow all you want is to be without me!<\/p>\n

Hallucinations you can’t talk to,
\nGuess I’m better off without you.<\/p>\n

Through the scrap yards of a million cars
\nResting in peace,
\nLove comes today then blows away,
\nDrive to the dream town, drive on down.<\/p>\n

She brings to me an oasis smile,
\nI’d say no but I’ve been dying for miles
\nCould be my love is true,
\nCould be I’m better off without you.<\/p>\n

It might have been the dreams I had when I was just a boy,
\nIt might have been that love went bad, programmed to destroy.

SOCI-AT-EASE<\/a><\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

(You Don’t Need Hands)<\/span><\/p>\n

7 March \u201891<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You say you’d rather die
\nThan end up looking like me
\nYou say you think I’m brave
\nBecause you think life’s worse for me<\/strong><\/p>\n

But let me tell you
\nThat you don’t need hands
\nTo live on your own
\nOr be a beautiful man<\/strong><\/p>\n

You don’t need fingers
\nAnd you don’t need feet
\nTo feel a lover’s passion
\nOr a sexual heat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now I don’t need your patronising money
\nI don’t think your jokes are funny
\nI don’t care if you once knew a man
\nWhose mother’s brother didn’t have hands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t care for the way
\nSoci-At-Ease is so unfair
\nNow I don’t care if you can’t see my worth
\nAs Iong as you’re absent from my birth
\nI don’t care if you don’t understand
\nUntil I come to you for your daughter’s hand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disability it’s a part of life<\/em>
\nYou can’t cut it out with a surgeon’s knife
\nYou can’t keep paying to hide it away
\nVive la difference, we like it that way<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You don’t need your limbs to break the law
\nEven if it ain’t worth fighting for
\nYou don’t need me
\nTo sing you the score<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s more to a man
\nThan a handful of lines
\nThat’ll give away the plan<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are the words of the oppressed<\/em>
\nVictims of stigma and prejudice
\nSo “vive la difference”
\nDon’t ignore your ignorance<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oppression it’s alive and well<\/em>
\nThe black man’s still in chains
\nWhile the cripple’s ring their bells
\nThe women work so hard<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For half the pay [Should it say no pay?]<\/em>
\nWhile the TV tells us all it should be this way
\nOppression it’s alive and well
\nWith bread and circuses
\nOur souls we sell
\nOppression it’s the law of this land
\nWritten by and for the average man
\n<\/em><\/strong>
\nYou don’t need a bunch of Nazis
\nWhen you’ve got misinformed
\nPolitical parties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Accessibility, we need legislation<\/em>
\nTo see our brother’s and sister’s
\nOn the streets of this nation.
\nLegislation means accessibility
\nWhich in turn means social activity.
\nIntegration is the best education
\nWhich in turn means a better
\nSocial situation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Life is not fair goes hand in hand with<\/em>
\nI don’t care<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

People don’t go to the circus any more<\/em>
\nBecause they feel so sorry<\/em>
\nWhen the lions roar<\/em>
\nBut the freaks and the geeks<\/em>
\nThat brought the house down<\/em>
\nAre escaping from their cages<\/em>
\nTo roam the streets of this town.<\/em><\/p>\n

Little By Little<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

14 November ’90<\/p>\n

(Click here to hear the longer version<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Little by little I will go away
\nLittle by little you will learn the lines
\nThat you’ve got say, you’ve got to say
\nLittle by little I will fall from view
\nLittle by little I will lose you
\nLearn about a life without you<\/p>\n

A place in my mind that I will go
\nA place in my life that you got to know
\nA scar in my heart that I’m proud to show
\nYou said not to stay so we went with the flow<\/p>\n

I’ve been taught about passion many a time
\nI’ve been taught about love and given the signs
\nI’ve been taught about the way we’re meant to be
\nI followed the river and you flowed through me<\/p>\n

There’s a peace in my heart when you are near
\nIt’s something I love, something that’s dear
\nIt’s something to lose and its loss I fear
\nThe river is pure and the river is clear<\/p>\n

Do you ever wake from dreams
\nWhere you fall in love
\nDo you ever go to sleep
\nAnd not want to wake up?<\/p>\n

Do you ever feel like
\nA cog on a wheel
\nMoved around by
\nThe force of evil?<\/p>\n

Do you ever talk of devils
\nThen try to hide
\nThe angels and devils
\nThat you keep inside?<\/p>\n

Do you ever put up
\nA vicious fight
\nWhen you know all along
\nThat you’re not right?<\/p>\n

Feels like evil
\nYeah that’s evil
\nDo you ever
\nWake from dreams?<\/p>\n

\n

Now I don’t know if how I feel
\nWas born of dreams or to die for real
\nI’ve got this feeling deep inside
\nI’m longing for you to hold me tight<\/strong><\/p>\n

0h hold me tight<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Like a poet in the garden
\nSleeping by a pool
\nOf tears he stole
\nWith a joke so cruel<\/strong><\/p>\n

0h tell me lies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now I don’t know if I’m strong or weak
\nTo let my heart so openly speak<\/strong><\/p>\n

But this is me<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh tell me lies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But this is me<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But this is ME!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’d like to tell you the truth
\nThat my heart beats hard for you
\nI’d like to tell you the truth
\nThat my heart beats fast for you<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now can’t you see that all I have to do
\nIs open my mouth
\nAnd say the wrong thing to you
\nNow can’t you see that all I have to do<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Is open my heart
\nAnd say the wrong thing to you
\nAnd I will never see you again
\nI will never see you again.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh call it a day<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is me this is me
\nI am more than you see
\nDon’t Tell Me Lies
\n0h tell me lies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You may say that it\u2019s a problem I\u2019ve got
\nBut I\u2019d rather be hated for who I am
\nThan loved
\nFor who I am not<\/em><\/p>\n

July \u201890<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

(click here for the “karaoke” instrumental version<\/a>)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You cannot judge the man by the funeral
\nYou cannot judge a man at all
\nYou cannot hold a precious thing forever
\nOne day you’ve got to let it fall<\/p>\n

I cannot keep you happy all the time
\nI cannot say “I’m yours and you’re mine”
\nI cannot say, “I’ll love you forever”
\nBut you know I’ll keep you in my mind.<\/p>\n

We cannot understand all our feelings
\nI cannot say I know how you feel
\nWe cannot empathize in every way
\nBut understanding helps the scars to heal.<\/p>\n

Now they can not do what isn’t right for them
\nThey can only help when it suits their needs
\nThey cannot do what they do not want
\nIf they want they’ll laugh while you bleed<\/p>\n

She cannot say what’s right for her is right for him
\nThey cannot search for meaning without pain
\nShe suffers his light heart life for too long
\nNow he laughs at her as she takes him back again
\n.
\nYou and I cannot deny the judging that we do
\nWhen we stand so proud in these justice halls
\nI used to think these walls could hear
\nBut now I know it’s just these eyes have walls.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Grateful<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

28 October \u201890<\/p>\n

\n

When I was a child in need of material things
\nThe local politician would his camera man bring
\nHim and the local charity would help me
\nHelp them get some free publicity
\nNow I’ve seen some jokers and roller skaters
\nOn charity runs run right past us
\nI felt so sorry because they didn’t understand
\nThey thought handicapped meant cap in hand
\nAnd you thought disabled meant unable
\n
\nSince Johnny’s tragic accident<\/em><\/p>\n

When of course it means that we’ve been
\n
\nHe’s been<\/em><\/p>\n

DIS-ENABLED<\/p>\n

And I was told that it was no one’s fault
\nAnd I was told to be grateful
\nFor anything they bought
\nBut I’ve never seen the working class
\nLicking out the rich kid’s ass
\nOr brushing the dust off the politician’s coat
\nFor getting them their rightful vote
\nSo I don’t think that I should be grateful
\nFor the way you make me feel disabled
\nNo I don’t think that I should be grateful
\nFor the way you add “dis” to able
\n
\nPlato said he’d rather be dead<\/em>
\nThan a man\u00a0without a\u00a0<\/em>hand
\nBut I’d rather be me than him any day
\nBecause he just couldn’t understand<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0Now I don’t think that you should be allowed<\/p>\n

To feel good for what you’ve done
\nOh what you done,<\/em><\/p>\n

What you done, oh what you done?<\/p>\n

‘Cause when it comes to understanding<\/p>\n

Here’s the point of the story!<\/em><\/p>\n

It takes more than a charity run
\nWhen it comes to change
\nIt takes more
\nThan a program packed with fun
\nWhen it comes to brotherly love
\nIt takes more than a sentimental song
\n
\n0h sing it to me<\/em><\/p>\n

More than a million pounds
\nThat the last event wrung<\/p>\n

That’s handkerchief’s full of teardrops
\nNot door bells or telephones [telethons]
\nDisabled is a euphemism for
\nVictims of a social apartheid
\nYou better believe it baby’<\/em><\/p>\n

*\u00a0<\/em>Apologies to Plato who probably didn’t say that he’d rather be
\ndead than not have any hands. Unfortunately Aristotle, who did
\nsay near enough the same thing, was a bit of a mouthful, so
\nPlato was the next best philosopher who, in syllabic terms at
\nleast, was more appropriate<\/em><\/p>\n

Somewhere a long way from your home
\nI was lying on a bed alone
\nI was thinking that I should not miss you
\nI should forget you
\nBut I close my eyes and all I see
\nIs your face looking at me.
\nI touch your mouth
\nAnd I kiss your eyes
\nOh you touch me
\nAnd I could happily die
\nOh you touch me
\nAnd I could happily die.
\nIs it a lie that I tell
\nIs it a lie that I hide behind
\nIs it a dream
\nThat haunts my heart sometimes.
\nSomewhere in the past
\nWe were driving fast too far
\nI held you like I loved you
\nIn the back of a speeding car
\nThey say it’s the end of the road
\nAnd you’re looking for another man
\nIs it a case of
\nMy mind
\nNot my heart
\nThat understands.<\/p>\n

\n

It’s hard to forget you
\nIt’s hard to go away
\nIt’s hard to forget you
\nIt’s hard, so hard, so hard
\nTo go away
\nLooking at the sea in darkness
\nWe were lovers for the night
\nI could hold this feeling forever
\nBut I’m blinded by a lack of light
\nAre you shying from a love that hurts
\nOr have your feelings for me
\nFaded like a dream in the night
\nA dream in the night.
\nYou said “don’t love me baby”
\nYou said you won’t offer what you’ll take
\nBut I want to dream sleeping in your arms
\nBut you’d rather I stayed awake
\nWas it what you wanted
\nOr was it a mistake
\nAre you the lover I want
\nOr is it just another mistake?
\nIt’s hard to forget you
\nIt’s hard to go away
\nIt’s hard to forget you
\nIt’s hard, so hard, so hard
\nTo go away.<\/p>\n

This Is Me<\/a><\/a>\u00a015 March ’90<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Now I don’t know if how I feel
\nWas born of dreams or to die for real
\nI’ve got this feeling deep inside
\nI’m longing for you to hold me tight<\/strong><\/p>\n

0h hold me tight<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Like a poet in the garden
\nSleeping by a pool
\nOf tears he stole
\nWith a joke so cruel<\/strong><\/p>\n

0h tell me lies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now I don’t know if I’m strong or weak
\nTo let my heart so openly speak<\/strong><\/p>\n

But this is me<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh tell me lies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But this is me<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But this is ME!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’d like to tell you the truth
\nThat my heart beats hard for you
\nI’d like to tell you the truth
\nThat my heart beats fast for you<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now can’t you see that all I have to do
\nIs open my mouth
\nAnd say the wrong thing to you
\nNow can’t you see that all I have to do<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Is open my heart
\nAnd say the wrong thing to you
\nAnd I will never see you again
\nI will never see you again.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh call it a day<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is me this is me
\nI am more than you see
\nDon’t Tell Me Lies
\n0h tell me lies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You may say that it\u2019s a problem I\u2019ve got
\nBut I\u2019d rather be hated for who I am
\nThan loved
\nFor who I am not<\/em><\/p>\n

There’s a house<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s a house<\/p>\n

Where your image is spinning<\/p>\n

Don’t you point that camera at me<\/p>\n

There’s a car that’s lost control<\/p>\n

Out on the open road<\/p>\n

Where once you made love to me<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You owe me nothing<\/p>\n

But the right to life<\/p>\n

So lay down and put away that knife<\/p>\n

You owe me nothing<\/p>\n

But the right to die<\/p>\n

So lay down and kiss away the night<\/p>\n

\n

There’s a fair ground in the desert<\/p>\n

A man who loves to fall<\/p>\n

A lie I never told you<\/p>\n

When you thought you’d heard them all<\/p>\n

\n

Oh stop calling baby<\/p>\n

That’s all you’ve done today<\/p>\n

Somewhere out on that open road<\/p>\n

Someone will pass your way<\/p>\n

\n

There’s nothing precious anymore<\/p>\n

There’s nothing virgin<\/p>\n

Nothing pure<\/p>\n

I’m searching for lost causes<\/p>\n

And a heart of gold worth crying for<\/p>\n

\n

There’s a house<\/p>\n

Where your image is spinning<\/p>\n

Don’t you point that camera at me<\/p>\n

There’s a car that’s lost control<\/p>\n

Out on the open road<\/p>\n

Where once you made love to me<\/p>\n

The Black Sky\u00a0<\/a><\/a>–<\/p>\n

\n

When I was a child in the Garden of Eden<\/p>\n

Dancing naked around the tree<\/p>\n

In the moment it takes for life to go<\/p>\n

You said hello then goodbye to me.<\/p>\n

\n

You said that you were sorry<\/p>\n

\n

So I lived my life with an aching inside<\/p>\n

And the bitterness of a love that loved then died<\/p>\n

\n

Old man sing me the song you sang<\/p>\n

And a black sky fell upon the garden<\/p>\n

\n

An old black crow struts around the stones<\/p>\n

Eating at my heart ’till I stand alone<\/p>\n

And the light above the trees gently faded by the rain<\/p>\n

Veils upon veils upon my eyes again<\/p>\n

And the land’s overcast by a bruise of blame<\/p>\n

So if I dance naked ’round here<\/p>\n

I dance in shame<\/p>\n

\n

Living a life or loving a lie<\/p>\n

You came to me so I moved away<\/p>\n

I’m dancing a bruise<\/p>\n

Inside me.<\/p>\n

SOCI-AT-EASE<\/a><\/a><\/h2>\n

(You Don’t Need Hands)<\/h2>\n

7 March \u201891<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You say you’d rather die
\nThan end up looking like me
\nYou say you think I’m brave
\nBecause you think life’s worse for me<\/strong><\/p>\n

But let me tell you
\nThat you don’t need hands
\nTo live on your own
\nOr be a beautiful man<\/strong><\/p>\n

You don’t need fingers
\nAnd you don’t need feet
\nTo feel a lover’s passion
\nOr a sexual heat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now I don’t need your patronising money
\nI don’t think your jokes are funny
\nI don’t care if you once knew a man
\nWhose mother’s brother didn’t have hands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t care for the way
\nSoci-At-Ease is so unfair
\nNow I don’t care if you can’t see my worth
\nAs Iong as you’re absent from my birth
\nI don’t care if you don’t understand
\nUntil I come to you for your daughter’s hand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disability it’s a part of life<\/em>
\nYou can’t cut it out with a surgeon’s knife
\nYou can’t keep paying to hide it away
\nVive la difference, we like it that way<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You don’t need your limbs to break the law
\nEven if it ain’t worth fighting for
\nYou don’t need me
\nTo sing you the score<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s more to a man
\nThan a handful of lines
\nThat’ll give away the plan<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are the words of the oppressed<\/em>
\nVictims of stigma and prejudice
\nSo “vive la difference”
\nDon’t ignore your ignorance<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oppression it’s alive and well<\/em>
\nThe black man’s still in chains
\nWhile the cripple’s ring their bells
\nThe women work so hard<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For half the pay [Should it say no pay?]<\/em>
\nWhile the TV tells us all it should be this way
\nOppression it’s alive and well
\nWith bread and circuses
\nOur souls we sell
\nOppression it’s the law of this land
\nWritten by and for the average man
\n<\/em><\/strong>
\nYou don’t need a bunch of Nazis
\nWhen you’ve got misinformed
\nPolitical parties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Accessibility, we need legislation<\/em>
\nTo see our brother’s and sister’s
\nOn the streets of this nation.
\nLegislation means accessibility
\nWhich in turn means social activity.
\nIntegration is the best education
\nWhich in turn means a better
\nSocial situation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Life is not fair goes hand in hand with<\/em>
\nI don’t care<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

People don’t go to the circus any more<\/em>
\nBecause they feel so sorry<\/em>
\nWhen the lions roar<\/em>
\nBut the freaks and the geeks<\/em>
\nThat brought the house down<\/em>
\nAre escaping from their cages<\/em>
\nTo roam the streets of this town.<\/em><\/p>\n

I don’t sit and wait for you to love me<\/p>\n

I won’t sit and wait for dreams to come true<\/p>\n

Lordy, lordy I can’t see tonight<\/p>\n

If you can’t see then switch on a light<\/p>\n

If you can’t sleep then hold me tight<\/p>\n

I don’t know if you fly like angels around my heart<\/p>\n

Or if this button says \u201cstop or start\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Let’s go swimming shark infested dreams<\/p>\n

If they ask to dance<\/p>\n

You better come clean<\/p>\n

\n

You just want money<\/p>\n

You just want drugs<\/p>\n

You just want everything but love<\/p>\n

It’s so dark<\/p>\n

With your love in my heart<\/p>\n

\n

You drove a long a straight road in reverse<\/p>\n

The priest says that your dress sense was perverse<\/p>\n

There’s one man in a dress<\/p>\n

Says to another<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s just so hard to know<\/p>\n

If you’re my sister or brother \u2013 lover boy!\u201d<\/p>\n

I don’t know if you fly like angels around my heart<\/p>\n

In China Town<\/p>\n

Get behind this mystery woman who says<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you believe everything you see?\u201d<\/p>\n

A shadow in the street light<\/p>\n

Just a shadow on the wall<\/p>\n

The silhouetted face in the darkness<\/p>\n

I’ve been waiting for your call<\/p>\n

Go marching in the night parade<\/p>\n

In the night parade<\/p>\n

I comb the streets<\/p>\n

With a cloak and dagger<\/p>\n

Put the word out on the wire<\/p>\n

Living hard<\/p>\n

Living fast<\/p>\n

Running ghosts from the past<\/p>\n

And you said \u201crelax\u201d<\/p>\n

And I don’t know<\/p>\n

Just a shadow in the moonlight<\/p>\n

Just a shadow on the wall<\/p>\n

The silhouetted kiss of death<\/p>\n

Let somebody take the fall<\/p>\n

Oh memory<\/p>\n

I’ll be knocking on your door<\/p>\n

From out of the past<\/p>\n

A stranger came<\/p>\n

Then he carried you away<\/p>\n

I stood on the corner<\/p>\n

At the scene of the crime<\/p>\n

And I could hear you say<\/p>\n

\u201cYou’ll never be mine\u201d<\/p>\n

Now I’m walking to the night beat<\/p>\n

To the rhythm of the street<\/p>\n

Move to the heartbeat of the city<\/p>\n

Oh let’s go marching<\/p>\n

In the night parade<\/p>\n

PLASTIC RED<\/a><\/a><\/h1>\n

Sometimes I drive the long way home
\nI like the feeling of driving alone
\nSometimes I stop at the riverside
\nWatch kids doing dances that I never tried.<\/p>\n

“She lay back
\nHer lips were plastic red
\nShe was an Angel
\nSo I tried playing dead”<\/p>\n

The kids were dancing around the slide
\nThe police were giving tickets for a ride
\nAnd you were trying not to conceal
\nThat you don’t feel, you don’t feel,
\nThat you don’t feel real<\/p>\n

The sirens are screaming like justice with a gun
\n“I may have been wrong, but I had a lot of fun
\nThe ends may not always justify the means
\nExcuse me a minute, but I’ve got another street to clean”<\/p>\n

I know that the sun will no longer set in your eyes
\nI wish we had some time to say hello, and kiss goodbye. (Rpt)<\/p>\n

OASIS SMILE<\/a><\/a>
\n(COPYRIGHT SIMON SMITH JAN 1993 AND JAN 1994)<\/h2>\n

I’ve got a song, I’m gonna sing it,
\nAbout the wrong and how you did it,
\nSo place your sights upon my heart,
\nSqueeze the trigger as our lips part<\/p>\n

Eden, Gethsemanie,
\nDance in circles as I climb the tree,
\nIf I fall it was never to be,
\nI’ll get up after ten “Hail Mary’s”.<\/p>\n

I know you’ll be lying on a bed alone,
\nI know you’ll be waiting by the telephone,
\nI know you’ve been waiting a long long time,
\nI know you’ll be placing your mouth to mine.<\/p>\n

“Don’t wait for me you know it’s been too long,
\nCan’t turn your right in to my wrong.”<\/p>\n

Let’s go out in to the dark,
\nAnd sing to stars of broken hearts,
\nLet’s cleanse our minds in Eden ‘s streams
\nAnd dream of things we’ve never seen.<\/p>\n

Deep mysterious blue, that’s where I found you,
\nSleeping out on the cool still lawn,
\nYour body naked in the light of the dawn.<\/p>\n

Love comes today then blows away,
\nDrive to the dream town, drive on down.
\nYou’re gonna see today
\nThe way our love was thrown away,
\nYou’re gonna hear today
\nThe words the devil likes to say.<\/p>\n

Love comes and goes
\nAnd how the wind blows,
\nDrive right on down,
\nPark your heart in the dream town.<\/p>\n

Through the flames of a midnight fire,
\nYou took my breath away,
\nThe flick of your fingers,
\nThe moment lingers.”Don’t wait for me you know it’s been too long,<\/p>\n

Can’t turn your right in to my wrong.”
\n“My baby’s on a desert track I don’t think she’s ever coming back,”
\nHallucinations you can’t walk through,
\nGuess I’m better off without you.<\/p>\n

The vultures fly in the shape of a heart,
\nI walk in circles while you play the part,
\nI used to know what you wanted to be,
\nNow all you want is to be without me!<\/p>\n

Hallucinations you can’t talk to,
\nGuess I’m better off without you.<\/p>\n

Through the scrap yards of a million cars
\nResting in peace,
\nLove comes today then blows away,
\nDrive to the dream town, drive on down.<\/p>\n

She brings to me an oasis smile,
\nI’d say no but I’ve been dying for miles
\nCould be my love is true,
\nCould be I’m better off without you.<\/p>\n

It might have been the dreams I had when I was just a boy,
\nIt might have been that love went bad, programmed to destroy.<\/p>\n

I remember the waves<\/p>\n

Now let’s not break<\/p>\n

What we’ve got<\/p>\n

With a handful of kisses<\/p>\n

And promises forgot<\/p>\n

Let’s not break<\/p>\n

The time we’ve had<\/p>\n

With decisions of the heart<\/p>\n

That’ll drive us mad<\/p>\n

\n

I wouldn’t say I need you<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t say I’d leave you<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t say anything tonight<\/p>\n

Cos I couldn’t say anything right<\/p>\n

\n

I wouldn’t say what I wouldn’t do<\/p>\n

Cos a house full of words<\/p>\n

Would mean nothing to you<\/p>\n

So I won’t say anything tonight<\/p>\n

Cos I couldn’t say anything right<\/p>\n

And I wanna hear<\/p>\n

Hey now Mr Policeman<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Hey now Mr Policeman<\/p>\n

Won’t you help me today<\/p>\n

You said you’d be there<\/p>\n

When I need you<\/p>\n

But you’ve gone away<\/p>\n

\n

There’s a man with a gun<\/p>\n

He’s gonna get me<\/p>\n

Or so he says<\/p>\n

Hey now Mr Policeman<\/p>\n

Won’t you help me today<\/p>\n

\n

He’s wearing red<\/p>\n

Like the man in the story<\/p>\n

It’s written in your book<\/p>\n

Hey now Mr Policeman<\/p>\n

Won’t you take a look<\/p>\n

\n

You say there’s nothing you can do<\/p>\n

Until I’m in the grave \/ Until my situation’s grave<\/p>\n

If I make a move to save myself<\/p>\n

Will you look the other way?<\/p>\n

\n

It makes me wonder what you’d do<\/p>\n

If I was your son<\/p>\n

Coz I think by now<\/p>\n

If that man was lucky<\/p>\n

His trial would have begun<\/p>\n

\n

Sop now Mr Policeman<\/p>\n

I’ve got to say to you<\/p>\n

When I do my dirty work<\/p>\n

I’ll try to leave no clue<\/p>\n

\n

Hey now Mr Policeman<\/p>\n

Won’t you help me today<\/p>\n

You said you’d be there<\/p>\n

When I need you<\/p>\n

But you’ve gone away<\/p>\n

Down By The Canal<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

The sky was crimson<\/p>\n

And your eyes are green<\/p>\n

Sometimes I’ve heard<\/p>\n

That you would like to<\/p>\n

Walk with me<\/p>\n

\n

The sky was on fire like a carpet of sin<\/p>\n

The court of love condemns us again<\/p>\n

And just coz you’re alive<\/p>\n

It don’t make you a friend<\/p>\n

And just coz you’re on fire<\/p>\n

It don’t mean I’ll defend<\/p>\n

\n

Down the road<\/p>\n

They look at you<\/p>\n

Down the road<\/p>\n

They call to you<\/p>\n

Down by the canal<\/p>\n

Maybe I saw you somehow<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t say I’m excited<\/p>\n

But I can feel you close to me<\/p>\n

I don’t know if I’m<\/p>\n

Living or dying today<\/p>\n

Don’t Borrow My love Too Long<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

I don’t sit and wonder why you love me<\/p>\n

And I don’t stand around waiting for your dreams<\/p>\n

I hold you tonight<\/p>\n

And I’ll let you run away with me<\/p>\n

But no, I won’t go<\/p>\n

\n

I love you when I<\/p>\n

Covered your skin<\/p>\n

The night away<\/p>\n

Hold you just today<\/p>\n

\n

I’ll beg for you<\/p>\n

When the nights are long<\/p>\n

I’ll beg for you<\/p>\n

But baby<\/p>\n

Don’t borrow my love too long<\/p>\n

For it ain’t strong<\/p>\n

It’s goodbye<\/p>\n

\n

Where do you go when the night is low<\/p>\n

And tomorrow you will sing<\/p>\n

Our love brings<\/p>\n

Thoughts of you<\/p>\n

\n

Love won’t go away<\/p>\n

Love will sing your songs<\/p>\n

Of today<\/p>\n

\n

You drove along a straight road<\/p>\n

You didn’t want to stop for me<\/p>\n

As I strode along<\/p>\n

The road of your destiny<\/p>\n

\n

Well I don’t know<\/p>\n

If you’ll ever fly<\/p>\n

Like angels<\/p>\n

Around my heart tonight<\/p>\n

\n

The sodium glows from your heart tomorrow<\/p>\n

The sweet wrappers swept around<\/p>\n

The seeds of a long, long narrow mind<\/p>\n

Of this heart of mine<\/p>\n

\n

Let’s go swimming in these shark infested<\/p>\n

Night dreams<\/p>\n

And I will love you<\/p>\n

Just as long as it seems<\/p>\n

But when you bring that key to love me<\/p>\n

In tonight<\/p>\n

I will go and you will cry<\/p>\n

And that’s the way the story goes<\/p>\n

Don’t you know?<\/p>\n

\n

Well lawdy, lawdy miss clawdy<\/p>\n

I see you going but I don’t mind<\/p>\n

And you know<\/p>\n

Well you sure look right<\/p>\n

Well I know<\/p>\n

That the sun will go away<\/p>\n

And you’ll cry your tears<\/p>\n

And this song I won’t hear<\/p>\n

But this song I will play<\/p>\n

\n

Well lawdy, lawdy, Miss Clawdy<\/p>\n

You sure look good to me<\/p>\n

But please don’t excite me baby<\/p>\n

I know it isn’t me<\/p>\n

You just want money,<\/p>\n

You just want drugs<\/p>\n

The night is so dark<\/p>\n

And this night is oh so dark<\/p>\n

With your love in my heart<\/p>\n

Oh this night<\/p>\n

It sets me sailing all alone<\/p>\n

And I don’t know<\/p>\n

If you’ll ever be<\/p>\n

Below this heart of mine<\/p>\n

And I know you’ll<\/p>\n

You’ll repeat<\/p>\n

What you<\/p>\n

Did to me<\/p>\n

Oh no you know you know<\/p>\n

Well the sun and silent ships<\/p>\n

May come and go<\/p>\n

At night I’ll lose those dreams<\/p>\n

Stop Calling<\/a><\/a><\/h2>\n


\nThere’s a house
\nWhere your image is spinning
\nDon’t you point that camera at me<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s a car that’s lost control<\/span>
\nOut on the open road<\/span>
\nWhere once you made love to me<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You owe me nothing but the right to life
\nSo lay down and put away that knife
\nYou owe me nothing but the right to die
\nSo lay down and\u00a0kiss<\/span>\u00a0away the\u00a0night<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There’s a fairground in the\u00a0desert<\/span>
\nA man who love’s to fall
\nA lie I never told you
\nWhen you thought you’d heard them all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh stop calling
\nThat’s all you’ve done today
\nSomewhere out on that open road
\nSomeone will pass your way<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s nothing precious any more
\nNothing virgin, nothing pure
\nI’m searching for lost causes
\nAnd a\u00a0heart o<\/span>f gold<\/span>
\nWorth\u00a0crying<\/span>\u00a0for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Electric Words<\/a><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

\n

There’s a man waiting outside
\nI think he’s waiting to die
\nI asked him to come in
\nMaybe eat something
\nBut he just stood and cried<\/p>\n

My feet are lead
\nMy heart is stone
\nHelp me
\nTo stand alone<\/span><\/big><\/p>\n

Well the T.V. man he laughed
\nWhen the preacher man he cried
\nWell that preacher man he looked at the camera
\nSaid ” See You on the other side “<\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

The smoke and the birds
\nSettle on electric words
\nThat the satellite sends
\nI thought I saw you
\nThrowing\u00a0<\/span>c<\/span>o<\/span>n<\/span>f<\/span>e<\/span>t<\/span>t<\/span>i<\/span>\u00a0in the grave yard of my friends.<\/span><\/big><\/p>\n

Help me to love you
\nHelp me be alone
\n‘Cause my feet are lead
\nAnd my hearts been thrown
\nHelp me
\nTo stand alone.<\/span><\/big><\/p>\n

Well the street where I live<\/big>
\nIs full of lonely door men
\nFighting for their rights<\/big>
\nThe smoke and the birds
\nSurround Electric words
\nThat I’m singing tonight.<\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

Help me to love you
\n‘Cause I’m willing to learn
\nMy heart is ice
\nAnd my soul is cold
\nBut I’m waiting to burn.

The First War<\/a><\/a>
\n<\/big><\/big><\/span><\/h2>\n

The first war was with my mother
\nI lay down on a heart of stone<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

There’s words you said to your lover
\nThat left you standing all alone<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

Now you’re looking at me like I stole your soul
\nLike I’ve pinned your hopes<\/big><\/big>
\nTo an old Voodoo doll<\/big><\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

Well it’s a haunting dream that comes to me
\nA gentle kiss that makes me guilty
\nI don’t want to know
\nI don’t want to feel you go
\nBut I’ve a deadly sin that I try to hide
\nI don’t know if you’re bleeding baby
\nBut you’re a victim of my pride<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

Standing in the door way
\nHolding each other tight
\nLove will come to those who wait
\nBut I’m losing my patience tonight<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

Oh the moon falls no higher
\nThan your hand on my eyes
\nIt’s a house full of songs
\nAnd a bed full of lies
\nI don’t want to know
\nI don’t want to feel you go
\nBut you’re screaming in a room
\nAnd you’re all alone
\nIt’s a motion of your heart
\nThat cuts me to the bone<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

The Shock Of Love<\/a><\/big><\/big><\/big><\/a><\/big><\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

I am close to you
\nI am kissing you
\nI am inside of you<\/big><\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh I wish I knew where I was going
\nThen I’d tell you where I am
\nI’d send a message through these eyes
\nWith details of the plan.<\/big><\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

I’d hold you in the water and cleanse your brow of pain
\nI’d lie down in the grass and count my share of blame<\/big><\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh let me feel the blood of life
\nBreak even with the light of day
\nLet me feel the action of your soul
\nBlow a breath of you this way.<\/big><\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

Let me feel the shock of love break ice on this lake of blood
\nLet secrets be denied while we make love under silent skies<\/big><\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

So as the dusk falls down on me
\nLet me feel your shadow burn brightly
\nLet me feel your mouth touch mine
\nLet me feel a shudder run through time<\/big><\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

When I was a child in the garden of Eden<\/a><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

Written by Simon Smith in April 1991<\/span><\/p>\n

When I was a child in the Garden of Eden
\nDancing naked around the tree
\nIn the moment it takes for life to go
\nYou said hello then goodbye to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

You said that you were sorry<\/span><\/p>\n

So I lived my life with an aching inside
\nAnd the bitterness of a love that loved then died<\/span><\/p>\n

Old man sing me the song you sang
\nAnd a black sky fell upon the garden<\/span><\/p>\n

An old black crow struts around the stones
\nEating at my heart ’till I stand alone
\nAnd the light above the trees gently faded by the rain
\nVeils upon veils upon my eyes again
\nAnd the land’s overcast by a bruise of blame
\nSo if I dance naked ’round here
\nI dance in shame<\/span><\/p>\n

Living a life or loving a lie
\nYou came to me so I moved away
\nI’m dancing a bruise
\nInside me.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Old House<\/a><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

I want to drive back to my old house
\nIt’s the home of my dreams
\nSo much love to lose
\nSo many memories<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

I saw you sleeping in a dark room
\nDid you hear me in your dreams
\nI saw you walking in the garden
\nHow many pleasures go unseen<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

Photos scattered on the lawn
\nWhere you were pictured on
\nSo much love and hate
\nLived and died in this place<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

And this is the room where my mother was born
\nAnd over her head angels shone
\nLike dust that passes through the light
\nIn dreams that still bless her heart tonight.<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

Dreams about the dream home
\nIn springtime how the blosom blows
\nShe said it’s such a pretty time of year
\nIt’s a dream that comes and goes ’round here<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

Though there’s more distance in a smile
\nThan stones and lies in a mile
\nIt’s a brick and mortar dream
\nThat permeates these old remains<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

Simon Smith February 1991<\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

\n

The Pilot’s Song<\/a><\/a><\/span><\/big><\/big><\/h2>\n

There’s a look in your eye
\nThat demands that I’m cold
\nYou pray for me but you think I’ve sold my soul
\nWe kiss in silence and you think your love’s unheard
\nBut it’s an action of the heart that screams out every word<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

We’re living in fear in these times of war
\nHiding under the radar
\nWaiting for death to shoot us through floor
\nWe’re trying to find out what we’re fighting for<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

It’s time to test the weapons that we bought
\nWe’ve planned out all our sorties
\nNow it’s time this war was fought
\nIt’s time to put to use
\nThe lessons we’ve been taught<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

It’s no good learning from the T.V.
\nIt’s no good saying that you love me
\nIt’s no good holding a dream of you
\nIt’s a no way out situation
\nThat’ll leave my heart black and blue<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

I don’t know how many people fell
\nUnder the weight of my bombs
\nI don’t know if what I did was right
\nOr if it’s wrong<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

Through these desert lands at night
\nI will hold you tight
\nI will hold your memory
\nBelow me blazing lights
\nI will pass them by<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

From a window in my mind<\/p>\n

You wave in the morning light<\/p>\n

As you leave the world behind<\/p>\n

I can hear you call<\/p>\n

There’s a ? in your eyes<\/p>\n

You smile in the morning light<\/p>\n

As you leave the world behind<\/p>\n

? Child<\/p>\n

Let you sleep<\/p>\n

The world is cruel sometimes<\/p>\n

I think of you and I wonder<\/p>\n

I can feel your shadow shine<\/p>\n

I can feel your shadow shine<\/p>\n

Always smile when I walked in<\/p>\n

I guess I’m cruel sometimes<\/p>\n

I always kissed you \u201cHello\u201d<\/p>\n

You always wave \u201cGoodbye\u201d<\/p>\n

You always read between the lines<\/p>\n

When it’s too late<\/p>\n

When it’s too late<\/p>\n

Then we see our mistakes<\/p>\n

Then we see our mistakes<\/p>\n

I do not want to idolise you<\/p>\n

I do not want to enshrine you<\/p>\n

I just want you to know<\/p>\n

That it’s me throwing pebbles<\/p>\n

At your window<\/p>\n

When it’s too late<\/p>\n

When it’s too late<\/p>\n

We see our mistakes<\/p>\n

We see our mistakes<\/p>\n

It could have been a different world<\/p>\n

It could have been the sweetest kiss<\/p>\n

It could have been the secrets kept<\/p>\n

In the most unlikely place<\/p>\n

Well you held me all night<\/p>\n

And you said it’s ok<\/p>\n

The heavens above<\/p>\n

Will look another way<\/p>\n

But I don’t know<\/p>\n

No I don’t know<\/p>\n

This Is Me<\/a><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>15 March ’90<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nI’ve got this feeling deep inside
\nI’m longing for you to hold me tight<\/strong><\/p>\n

0h hold me tight<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Like a poet in the garden
\nSleeping by a pool
\nOf tears he stole
\nWith a joke so cruel<\/strong><\/p>\n

0h tell me lies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now I don’t know if I’m strong or weak

But this is me<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh tell me lies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But this is me<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’d like to tell you the truth
\nThat my heart beats hard for you
\nI’d like to tell you the truth
\nThat my heart beats fast for you<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now can’t you see that all I have to do
\nIs open my mouth
\nAnd say the wrong thing to you
\nNow can’t you see that all I have to do<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Is open my heart
\nAnd say the wrong thing to you
\nAnd I will never see you again
\nI will never see you again.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh call it a day<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Like a joke of myself<\/p>\n

You stand in white<\/p>\n

While I talked about myself<\/p>\n

Oh you could not love me then<\/p>\n

Oh you could not love me then<\/p>\n

You stood out on the pathway<\/p>\n

You heeded the words I had to say<\/p>\n

Will you love me?<\/p>\n

Or do you have to go?<\/p>\n

We stood out on the road<\/p>\n

The cars passed by<\/p>\n

On either side of you<\/p>\n

And you know<\/p>\n

With a heart of gold<\/p>\n

You Drew Up Maps of My Life<\/p>\n

But could not look me in my eyes<\/p>\n

Won’t you look at me?<\/p>\n

Don’t you care anymore?<\/p>\n

Well you asked the pilot<\/p>\n

To do the loop the loop<\/p>\n

And you waved from the plane<\/p>\n

As you passed me again and again<\/p>\n

But you don’t want to stay anymore<\/p>\n

You sailed out on the ocean<\/p>\n

And you told the sailors to say hello<\/p>\n

And you told the sailors you had to go<\/p>\n

You send me faxes where you used to phone<\/p>\n

You heard enough to leave me alone<\/p>\n

Don’t you care?<\/p>\n

The love that we had<\/p>\n

You have lost me<\/p>\n

I have lost your tenderness<\/p>\n

You have lost the emptiness<\/p>\n

You have found what you already had<\/p>\n

Life Of Joy<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m a leaving town a baby<\/p>\n

I’m a leaving town for sure<\/p>\n

And then you won’t be bothered<\/p>\n

With me hanging round your door<\/p>\n

Well<\/p>\n

That’s all right<\/p>\n

In the morning after<\/p>\n

I know where, you know<\/p>\n

I’m a leaving town little girl<\/p>\n

I’m leaving town for sure<\/p>\n

Well that’s alright<\/p>\n

I am nothing<\/p>\n

Neither are you<\/p>\n

You know it’s true<\/p>\n

You know it’s true<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter what you make<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter who you break<\/p>\n

I will die and so will you<\/p>\n

There’s nothing that we can do<\/p>\n

It’s gonna happen anyway<\/p>\n

There’s no delay no runaway<\/p>\n

I’m a nothing and neither are you<\/p>\n

A life of joy and a life of pain<\/p>\n

A life of loss and a life of gain<\/p>\n

If love is the saviour<\/p>\n

Then love is all I can<\/p>\n

It takes me from oblivion<\/p>\n

To the heart of significance<\/p>\n

If significance, gives me meaning<\/p>\n

And meaning helps me through<\/p>\n

Then it’s not surprising<\/p>\n

That I need love<\/p>\n

And so do you<\/p>\n

Well I’ll keep on a yearning<\/p>\n

And I’m sure you will too<\/p>\n

So I’ll love those love songs<\/p>\n

To help me through<\/p>\n

I am nothing and neither are you<\/p>\n

You know it’s true<\/p>\n

But it doesn’t matter<\/p>\n

I will die and so will you<\/p>\n

There’s nothing that we can do<\/p>\n

I know you’ll be waiting<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I know you’ll be lying on a bed alone,
\nI know you’ll be waiting by the telephone,
\nI know you’ve been waiting a long long time,
\nI know you’ll be placing your mouth to mine.<\/p>\n

“Don’t wait for me you know it’s been too long,
\nCan’t turn your right in to my wrong.”<\/p>\n

Let’s go out in to the dark,
\nAnd sing to stars of broken hearts,
\nLet’s cleanse our minds in Eden ‘s streams
\nAnd dream of things we’ve never seen.<\/p>\n

Deep mysterious blue, that’s where I found you,
\nSleeping out on the cool still lawn,
\nYour body naked in the light of the dawn.<\/p>\n

Love comes today then blows away,
\nDrive to the dream town, drive on down.
\nYou’re gonna see today
\nThe way our love was thrown away,
\nYou’re gonna hear today
\nThe words the devil likes to say.<\/p>\n

Love comes and goes
\nAnd how the wind blows,
\nDrive right on down,
\nPark your heart in the dream town.<\/p>\n

Through the flames of a midnight fire,
\nYou took my breath away,
\nThe flick of your fingers,
\nThe moment lingers.”Don’t wait for me you know it’s been too long,<\/p>\n

Can’t turn your right in to my wrong.”
\n“My baby’s on a desert track I don’t think she’s ever coming back,”
\nHallucinations you can’t walk through,
\nGuess I’m better off without you.<\/p>\n

The vultures fly in the shape of a heart,
\nI walk in circles while you play the part,
\nI used to know what you wanted to be,
\nNow all you want is to be without me!<\/p>\n

Hallucinations you can’t talk to,
\nGuess I’m better off without you.<\/p>\n

Through the scrap yards of a million cars
\nResting in peace,
\nLove comes today then blows away,
\nDrive to the dream town, drive on down.<\/p>\n

She brings to me an oasis smile,
\nI’d say no but I’ve been dying for miles
\nCould be my love is true,
\nCould be I’m better off without you.<\/p>\n

It might have been the dreams I had when I was just a boy,
\nIt might have been that love went bad, programmed to destroy.<\/p>\n

Driving Along An Old Spanish Road<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m driving along an old Spanish street<\/p>\n

Racing everyone I’ll never meet<\/p>\n

The air’s still warm but the night is old<\/p>\n

The passion’s high but the heart’s are cold<\/p>\n

And I love you<\/p>\n

Cruise on through the night<\/p>\n

I’m homeward bound through your old town<\/p>\n

The engine roars as I take it down<\/p>\n

And we’re talking about yesterday<\/p>\n

Laughing at the games we played<\/p>\n

And I love you<\/p>\n

The night has given us wings<\/p>\n

We’re doing a thousand miles in under a day<\/p>\n

The border’s close so be careful what you say<\/p>\n

We’re picking up people we don’t understand<\/p>\n

We’re hiding our money and watching their hands<\/p>\n

And I love you<\/p>\n

Move on through the night<\/p>\n

The cops are driving slowly<\/p>\n

Watching everything we do<\/p>\n

So I put down the pedal<\/p>\n

When they’re out of view<\/p>\n

And I love you<\/p>\n

You beautiful morning light<\/p>\n

I’m a speeding agent of the night<\/p>\n

You’re a speeding agent of the night<\/p>\n

And I love you<\/p>\n

Bdr okl<\/p>\n

Calliope<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some things are just hidden<\/p>\n

Some things rot for a later date<\/p>\n

She said<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don’t need me anymore, so it’s time to end\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI never loved you\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that wasn’t the deal\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou’re nothing to me\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you are nothing like I thought you’d be\u201d<\/p>\n

A careful collection of material things<\/p>\n

And in the corner a pile of dead skin<\/p>\n

She wrapped it in paper<\/p>\n

And put it under his bed<\/p>\n

The souvenir of the snake<\/p>\n

The souvenir of the snake Calliope<\/p>\n

Okr gdl<\/p>\n

She’s waving goodbye<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where children lie down their hearts<\/p>\n

On sand filled pillows<\/p>\n

And weep for joy<\/p>\n

For a smiling mother<\/p>\n

Waving<\/p>\n

She’s waving \u201cgoodbye\u201d<\/p>\n

Turn around and show them your pain<\/p>\n

A candle flickers<\/p>\n

An old man sits down in the sun smiling<\/p>\n

Yellow teeth<\/p>\n

I kiss your brow<\/p>\n

A tighter muscle now<\/p>\n

I feel your heart gripping at my chest<\/p>\n

At night, sometimes you pray,<\/p>\n

Sometimes, you touch me<\/p>\n

Your presence in every<\/p>\n

Moment of silence<\/p>\n

You bathed in the waters<\/p>\n

And the waters turned to wine<\/p>\n

And the wine turned to water<\/p>\n

The decay in your skin<\/p>\n

I scratch mine off before sleeping<\/p>\n

I could kiss your bones<\/p>\n

If I loved your soul<\/p>\n

You’re gasping for me<\/p>\n

Turn around to make me see<\/p>\n

Your teardrop on my tongue<\/p>\n

Soothes my lust<\/p>\n

As I pretend to sleep<\/p>\n

You bathed in the blood<\/p>\n

And the blood turned to love<\/p>\n

And the love turned to blood<\/p>\n

Standing on the roadside<\/p>\n

I kiss your brow<\/p>\n

A tighter muscle now<\/p>\n

You bathed in the waters<\/p>\n

And the waters turned to wine<\/p>\n

And the love turned to blood<\/p>\n

Relativity<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You used to dress in red<\/p>\n

And I always wore black<\/p>\n

You asked who was dead<\/p>\n

And I asked who’d come back<\/p>\n

I used to think the birds flew high<\/p>\n

When of course they were near to me<\/p>\n

I used to think that we were closely related<\/p>\n

But that was an illusion<\/p>\n

That was the deception<\/p>\n

That was an illusion of relativity<\/p>\n

You said it was good<\/p>\n

You said that we did what we could<\/p>\n

And I said all the things that I thought I should<\/p>\n

You used to dress in red<\/p>\n

And I always wore black<\/p>\n

You asked who was dead<\/p>\n

And I asked if they’d come back<\/p>\n

You laughed and kissed me<\/p>\n

But you never came to rescue me<\/p>\n

I asked you where you go when you left me<\/p>\n

And I always thought that we were close at heart<\/p>\n

But relatively speaking we were miles apart<\/p>\n

All I ever wanted was you<\/p>\n

All I ever wanted was you to be my friend, and my lover<\/p>\n

But all you ever wanted from me was a mother, father, sister and brother<\/p>\n

You said it was good<\/p>\n

You said that we did what we could<\/p>\n

And I said all the things that I thought I should<\/p>\n

And relatively speaking<\/p>\n

We did relatively well<\/p>\n

And we thought it was heaven<\/p>\n

When, of course, it was hell<\/p>\n

You used to dress in red<\/p>\n

And I always wore black<\/p>\n

You asked if I was dead<\/p>\n

And I asked if you’d come back<\/p>\n

You laughed and kissed me<\/p>\n

But you never came to rescue me<\/p>\n

And I always thought that we were closely related<\/p>\n

But that was the deception of relativity<\/p>\n

Okr, okl<\/p>\n

Slice of Hell<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Coz I’ve got something to say<\/p>\n

I will say it anyway<\/p>\n

Coz you will hit and run<\/p>\n

I will sit and play<\/p>\n

Coz you will dent my pride<\/p>\n

There will be songs I will sing tonight<\/p>\n

Coz you will dent my pride<\/p>\n

There will be songs through this darkest night<\/p>\n

I will sing to passing cars<\/p>\n

From the silent layby<\/p>\n

A thousand people prepare for the show<\/p>\n

They turn up early and sit in the glow<\/p>\n

Of a hot, summer evening, cold breeze window<\/p>\n

As the darkness bends the night to day<\/p>\n

Betrayal bends hope to hate<\/p>\n

Too many people will talk to my back<\/p>\n

Too many brides will dress me in black<\/p>\n

Too many lovers will fall at my feet<\/p>\n

It’s a life of crimes and rhymes to delete<\/p>\n

There’s a cold, grey child inside of me<\/p>\n

Walking the streets in the search of beauty<\/p>\n

Lighting fires for all to see<\/p>\n

I kick down this door and cough up a key<\/p>\n

I steal this song from an old seashell<\/p>\n

I stand on the corner trying to sell<\/p>\n

My mother’s milk for a slice of hell<\/p>\n

You looked this way and saw nobody<\/p>\n

I trusted you and you betrayed me<\/p>\n

I will swim in the lake<\/p>\n

And you will drink in the sea<\/p>\n

As the darkness bends the night to day<\/p>\n

Betrayal bends hope to hate<\/p>\n

Too many people will talk to my back<\/p>\n

Too many brides will dress me in black<\/p>\n

Too many lovers will fall at my feet<\/p>\n

It’s a life of crimes and rhymes to delete<\/p>\n

There’s a cold, grey child inside of me<\/p>\n

Walking the streets in the search of beauty<\/p>\n

Lighting fires for all to see<\/p>\n

I kick down this door and cough up a key<\/p>\n

You can steal this song from an old seashell<\/p>\n

I stand on the corner trying to sell<\/p>\n

My mother’s milk for a slice of hell<\/p>\n

Okr gdl<\/p>\n

The Runaway<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Out of the door and into the night<\/p>\n

In the cold, late rain, she thumbed for a ride<\/p>\n

She had golden lights in her eyes<\/p>\n

Drive me to obscurity, her heart lied<\/p>\n

Spiralling the grey and rainy town<\/p>\n

I know with this day I am going to drown<\/p>\n

Numbed from the pain of hating that I’ve done<\/p>\n

I’m a hostage to myself and I’m loading the gun<\/p>\n

There’s always a distance you can go by car<\/p>\n

I need to be moved so very far<\/p>\n

Mistakes in the navigation of the stars<\/p>\n

Can leave you lonely, lost and scarred<\/p>\n

She was unlucky in a fortunate way<\/p>\n

Someone could see that she was a runaway<\/p>\n

He said he’d take her home or turn her in<\/p>\n

Then the cold and pain came rushing in<\/p>\n

You’ve trapped me with your kindness she cried<\/p>\n

Then you misunderstood and left me bitter inside<\/p>\n

You trapped me with your gentle, loving side<\/p>\n

And cursed me with the kisses of your pride<\/p>\n

For k<\/p>\n

Okr, okl<\/p>\n

You can postulate<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can postulate about love and hate<\/p>\n

You can tell me never’s better than late<\/p>\n

You can blow me a kiss and make me wait<\/p>\n

But I’ve got misgivings about our mistake<\/p>\n

It’s a script notated, Police investigated<\/p>\n

Children shot dead, information collated<\/p>\n

It’s a case of psychosis, underestimated<\/p>\n

But there’s nothing for nobody that I don’t know<\/p>\n

You’re asking me if I’m ready to grow<\/p>\n

I’ll eat an apple by a flooded road<\/p>\n

And in a cloud swept reflection<\/p>\n

I will watch you go<\/p>\n

We can preach about clearing the streets of lead<\/p>\n

But I think we better start with our heads instead<\/p>\n

Coz there’s a ghost of a chance<\/p>\n

That we’re already dead<\/p>\n

Well you came to me on a midnight train<\/p>\n

You said if you could you’d try to explain<\/p>\n

You rode a red horse that walked in pain<\/p>\n

It’s a beautiful excuse but baby it’s lame<\/p>\n

Oh you don’t want love or money honey<\/p>\n

You said you want fame<\/p>\n

Okr, gdl<\/p>\n

You Know That Idea<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You know that idea about the tree falling<\/p>\n

If you don’t see it, then does it fall?<\/p>\n

You’ve heard about the liberation<\/p>\n

And what happens to the tall<\/p>\n

Now, what if you don’t see me on the TV<\/p>\n

And, what if you don’t hear me call<\/p>\n

Does it mean I just don’t exist?<\/p>\n

Does it mean you don’t care at all?<\/p>\n

And will you invite me<\/p>\n

Will you invite me<\/p>\n

Will you invite me<\/p>\n

To your secret ball<\/p>\n

I’m driving south of the river<\/p>\n

There’s a woman in a chair<\/p>\n

She’s pushing herself along the road<\/p>\n

The drivers are thinking, \u201cyeah, she’s got a nerve\u201d<\/p>\n

She’s stranded coz there’s no break in the kerb<\/p>\n

So the middle of the road isn’t safe anymore<\/p>\n

And there’s no way out when you block the door<\/p>\n

And you don’t mind<\/p>\n

Till we move next door<\/p>\n

And aren’t you protected by the law?<\/p>\n

You know that idea about the tree falling<\/p>\n

If you don’t see it, then does it fall?<\/p>\n

You’ve heard about our liberation<\/p>\n

And what happens to the tall<\/p>\n

Now, what if you don’t see me on the TV<\/p>\n

And, what if you don’t hear me call<\/p>\n

Does it mean I just don’t exist?<\/p>\n

Does it mean you don’t care at all?<\/p>\n

And will you invite me<\/p>\n

Will you invite me<\/p>\n

Will you invite me<\/p>\n

To your secret ball<\/p>\n

Okr, okl dis<\/p>\n

You know what I mean<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

See yourself driving along an old desert road<\/p>\n

It is night<\/p>\n

All you can see is what you’ve got in your lights<\/p>\n

See the white lines moving along<\/p>\n

You’re moving on<\/p>\n

It’s just you and me travelling<\/p>\n

It’s just you and me moving along<\/p>\n

You know what I mean<\/p>\n

Feels so good<\/p>\n

Going round the mountains<\/p>\n

Feels so good<\/p>\n

It’s the kind of trip<\/p>\n

That makes you feel good to be alive<\/p>\n

The sky is a kind of electric blue<\/p>\n

You know what I mean<\/p>\n

It’s just you and me<\/p>\n

Feels so good just driving along<\/p>\n

You’re holding me<\/p>\n

The sky is a kind of electric blue<\/p>\n

The sort that makes you feel good to be alive<\/p>\n

Okr, okl<\/p>\n

The kiss of life<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I held her with a psychic kiss<\/p>\n

As we lay in an Edward Hopper field<\/p>\n

I said I am sorry<\/p>\n

But you know this love ain’t real<\/p>\n

There’s a change in the air<\/p>\n

And the trees are swaying<\/p>\n

Resounding reactions to my fading speech<\/p>\n

Casting shadows on this love I seek<\/p>\n

It’s been said that we never kill time<\/p>\n

The time only ever kills you<\/p>\n

So it has to be the kiss of love<\/p>\n

Or it’s the kiss of death for you<\/p>\n

You’re writing poems<\/p>\n

With sunlight on your window<\/p>\n

But no-one understands<\/p>\n

You’re calling my name<\/p>\n

With a language of your hands<\/p>\n

And I haven’t got what you want from me<\/p>\n

There’s nothing much left for you to see<\/p>\n

And you are nothing<\/p>\n

Like I hoped you’d be<\/p>\n

It’s been said that we never kill time<\/p>\n

The time only ever kills you<\/p>\n

You have to be the lover of my life<\/p>\n

Or it’s the death of my love for you<\/p>\n

I love the life that I’m living<\/p>\n

The beauty that permeates my being<\/p>\n

I love this life that I’m living<\/p>\n

But I don’t want to die alone<\/p>\n

I don’t want to die a long way from home<\/p>\n

I don’t want to die without a love of my own<\/p>\n

It’s been said that we never kill time<\/p>\n

The time only ever kills you<\/p>\n

So it has to be the lover of life<\/p>\n

Or it’s the love of death for you<\/p>\n

I used to be a mercenary<\/p>\n

But now I’m working for my heart<\/p>\n

I used to be the kind of man<\/p>\n

Who would tear himself a part<\/p>\n

I’m sorry if I misunderstood you<\/p>\n

I’m sorry if I made you cry<\/p>\n

But it hurt me too, to continue the lie<\/p>\n

It’s been said that we never kill time<\/p>\n

The time only ever kills you<\/p>\n

So it has to be the kiss of love<\/p>\n

Or it’s the death of my life with you<\/p>\n

Love life<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Love life, she said<\/p>\n

Love life, she said<\/p>\n

Now open your eyes<\/p>\n

To the brightness of a midnight sky<\/p>\n

Whatever the question<\/p>\n

The answers gonna be why<\/p>\n

Decay and birth surrounds the earth<\/p>\n

And fills us with joy and pain<\/p>\n

I look at me, I look at us<\/p>\n

And all I can feel is shame<\/p>\n

Love life, she said<\/p>\n

Love life, she said<\/p>\n

Surround your world with lies<\/p>\n

Protect your life with death<\/p>\n

With a world that’s full of dust<\/p>\n

You have no-one to love<\/p>\n

Coz there’s no-one left<\/p>\n

There’s joy in a man who opens his eyes<\/p>\n

To the visionless life he leads<\/p>\n

Awe in the heart of an eye<\/p>\n

At the sight of all the possibilities<\/p>\n

Love life, she said<\/p>\n

Love life, she said<\/p>\n

Love<\/p>\n

The accidental harmony<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

It felt so good, but I could see<\/p>\n

By the way, she looked at me<\/p>\n

That there had been<\/p>\n

An incidental, accidental harmony<\/p>\n

So I said, \u201cwhere will you go and<\/p>\n

What will you do?<\/p>\n

Because you know my pretty baby<\/p>\n

I will never forget you\u201d<\/p>\n

Can we collude, or will we collide?<\/p>\n

Will we unite, will we coincide?<\/p>\n

An accidental, coincidental, confidential harmonize<\/p>\n

You’re moving me around<\/p>\n

Around and around<\/p>\n

I’m spinning a charm<\/p>\n

On the same old groud<\/p>\n

I got your name, and you know my role<\/p>\n

I’ll give you a call<\/p>\n

When I break<\/p>\n

When I break<\/p>\n

When I break that code<\/p>\n

So I said, \u201cwhere will you go and<\/p>\n

What will you do?<\/p>\n

Because you know my pretty baby<\/p>\n

I will never forget you\u201d<\/p>\n

It felt so good, but I could see<\/p>\n

By the way, she looked at me<\/p>\n

That there had been<\/p>\n

An incidental, accidental harmony<\/p>\n

So I said, \u201cwhere will you go and<\/p>\n

What will you do?<\/p>\n

Because you know my pretty baby<\/p>\n

I will never forget you\u201d<\/p>\n

Touch anybody tonight<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trees throw their arms open to me<\/p>\n

The cliff is so beautiful<\/p>\n

That I could fall from it<\/p>\n

To the cold, black sea<\/p>\n

And if this is not sea spray<\/p>\n

Then I shall say<\/p>\n

That these are teardrops<\/p>\n

That fell from deep inside me<\/p>\n

They say the Police<\/p>\n

Are killing the young<\/p>\n

Children of South American slums<\/p>\n

They chase them<\/p>\n

They burn them<\/p>\n

They shoot them dead<\/p>\n

Through the apex of a cross<\/p>\n

Carved in their head<\/p>\n

Now don’t tell me<\/p>\n

That this is neither the place<\/p>\n

Or the time<\/p>\n

And don’t tell me<\/p>\n

That neither of our faces<\/p>\n

Fit this crime<\/p>\n

Coz I don’t know<\/p>\n

If I could not feel guilty<\/p>\n

And I don’t feel<\/p>\n

That I could touch<\/p>\n

Anybody tonight<\/p>\n

The rich man and the poor man<\/p>\n

Can live side by side<\/p>\n

But\u00a0the children of the poor<\/p>\n

Will pay the price<\/p>\n

Rich thieves who kill poor thieves<\/p>\n

Need no alibis<\/p>\n

They pay their secret Police<\/p>\n

To sing lethal lullabies<\/p>\n

I’m too wealthy to walk safely<\/p>\n

I’m too weak to sincerely do<\/p>\n

What I know to be right<\/p>\n

If I could not feel guilty<\/p>\n

And I don’t feel<\/p>\n

That I could touch<\/p>\n

Anybody tonight<\/p>\n

The Glass Child<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve been changing for a long time<\/p>\n

The lesson’s not easy today<\/p>\n

Talk about love, talk about life<\/p>\n

Talk, talk, our lives away<\/p>\n

You swam in my ocean<\/p>\n

Said the waters polluted with lies<\/p>\n

Say what you want, do what you will<\/p>\n

But you’ll never look me in the eye<\/p>\n

It’s no wonder that I’m lonely<\/p>\n

It’s no wonder that I’m dying inside<\/p>\n

How could you love a person?<\/p>\n

Who pollutes, kills, then hides<\/p>\n

A dark, heart paragraph<\/p>\n

A gentle refrain<\/p>\n

A false start, dead heat<\/p>\n

Repeated again<\/p>\n

The expense of lust<\/p>\n

In an act of shame<\/p>\n

I won’t call you<\/p>\n

Don’t call me again<\/p>\n

I’m lying in my bed<\/p>\n

In this half lit land<\/p>\n

Watching the sea<\/p>\n

Covered in sand<\/p>\n

I think about the glass child<\/p>\n

Lasted just a short while<\/p>\n

Buried in this half lit land<\/p>\n

And the waves break a breaking<\/p>\n

I lied and the child was taken<\/p>\n

I thought I was right<\/p>\n

My identity was mistaken<\/p>\n

The knife that carves out pain in you<\/p>\n

Leaves a vessel for joy to run through<\/p>\n

The pain is untainted<\/p>\n

When the heart is true<\/p>\n

You’ll feel the beauty come out of you<\/p>\n

Out of the blue<\/p>\n

You swam in my ocean<\/p>\n

Said the waters polluted with lies<\/p>\n

Say what you want, do what you will<\/p>\n

But you’ll never look me in the eye<\/p>\n

It’s no wonder that I’m lonely<\/p>\n

It’s no wonder that I’m dying inside<\/p>\n

How could you love a person?<\/p>\n

Who pollutes, kills, then hides<\/p>\n

A dark, heart paragraph<\/p>\n

A gentle refrain<\/p>\n

A false start, dead heat<\/p>\n

Repeated again<\/p>\n

I’ve been changing for a long time<\/p>\n

The lesson’s not easy today<\/p>\n

Talk about love, talk about life<\/p>\n

Talk, talk, our lives away<\/p>\n

Lost in time<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

No matter how long you stand for time<\/p>\n

Time never stands still for you<\/p>\n

You never wanna be lost in time<\/p>\n

Until someone gets to loving you<\/p>\n

The sadness that I have for broken dreams<\/p>\n

You held me in a deep, dark blue<\/p>\n

The love that I found in a waking dream<\/p>\n

And a hand that struck me with truth<\/p>\n

No matter how long you stand for time<\/p>\n

Time never stands still for you<\/p>\n

You never wanna be lost in time<\/p>\n

Until someone gets to loving you<\/p>\n

Now I could see when you looked at me<\/p>\n

The meaning in our time<\/p>\n

There’s more to love you said<\/p>\n

Than a breaking of the bread and wine<\/p>\n

You held my face, you held my heart<\/p>\n

I held you in my mind<\/p>\n

There’s nothing better in a love you said<\/p>\n

Than a heart that’s honest and kind<\/p>\n

No matter how long you stand for time<\/p>\n

Time never stands still for you<\/p>\n

You never wanna be lost in time<\/p>\n

Until someone gets to loving you<\/p>\n

I’m here at least until the day I die<\/p>\n

Something ought to be said<\/p>\n

Because there’s hearts and dreams<\/p>\n

And hundreds of things<\/p>\n

Broken along with the bread<\/p>\n

No matter how long you stand for time<\/p>\n

Time never stands still for you<\/p>\n

You never wanna be lost in time<\/p>\n

Until someone gets to loving you<\/p>\n

Your time is here<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Someone’s gonna help you<\/p>\n

Learn to help yourself<\/p>\n

Someone’s gonna help you<\/p>\n

Get back in contact with yourself<\/p>\n

Someone’s gonna take the kisses of the past<\/p>\n

And plant them in a field of blue<\/p>\n

You’ll feel the fields of love<\/p>\n

Grow deep inside of you<\/p>\n

Someone’s gonna help you feel alive<\/p>\n

Someone’s gonna help you not to die<\/p>\n

Someone’s gonna fill you with a beauty<\/p>\n

That will meet more than the back of an eye<\/p>\n

You can watch the clouds go by<\/p>\n

You can watch the clouds go by<\/p>\n

You can watch the clouds go by<\/p>\n

Through the bars of your chosen rage<\/p>\n

Today, someone will reveal<\/p>\n

That it’s a backdrop to a second rate stage<\/p>\n

Your time has come<\/p>\n

Your time has come<\/p>\n

Look to your heart<\/p>\n

Your time has come<\/p>\n

Your time is here<\/p>\n

Your time is here<\/p>\n

Your time is here<\/p>\n

I’m Out Of My Mind<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I held you in my arms<\/p>\n

While the music played<\/p>\n

Now the sky’s lit up<\/p>\n

And the air is cold<\/p>\n

But in my heart<\/p>\n

There’s this love we made<\/p>\n

Now I don’t know why<\/p>\n

And I don’t know how<\/p>\n

And I don’t know
\nIf I should be saying this now<\/p>\n

But there was a meaning<\/p>\n

Behind the meeting<\/p>\n

That didn’t touch your eye<\/p>\n

So I kiss hello<\/p>\n

And we’ll sing goodbye<\/p>\n

Coz I maybe be a clown<\/p>\n

But you’ll never see me cry<\/p>\n

Everybody’s talking to you<\/p>\n

Knowing what you want<\/p>\n

You’ll do what you do<\/p>\n

You move me up and down<\/p>\n

In an ocean of you<\/p>\n

When an undercurrent<\/p>\n

Took me from view<\/p>\n

Now I’m out of my mind<\/p>\n

And it looks like I’m out of yours too<\/p>\n

Now I’m out of my mind<\/p>\n

And it looks like I’m out of yours too<\/p>\n

A hundred dancers spinning<\/p>\n

A thousand jackpots winning<\/p>\n

A million mad hat, Cheshire cats, are grinning<\/p>\n

They’re all grinning<\/p>\n

It took one scratch<\/p>\n

From a burned out mismatch<\/p>\n

But it didn’t stop<\/p>\n

The innocents<\/p>\n

The innocents<\/p>\n

From swinging<\/p>\n

You can drink to my health<\/p>\n

But I won’t trust you<\/p>\n

But then I damn well don’t<\/p>\n

Trust myself too<\/p>\n

Everybody’s talking to you<\/p>\n

Knowing what you want<\/p>\n

You’ll do what you do<\/p>\n

You move me up and down<\/p>\n

In an ocean of you<\/p>\n

Now I’m out of my mind<\/p>\n

And it looks like I’m out of yours too<\/p>\n

Now I’m out of my mind<\/p>\n

And it looks like I’m out of yours too<\/p>\n

I held you in my arms while the music played<\/p>\n

And the sky lit up at the break of day<\/p>\n

And in my heart<\/p>\n

Is this love that I can’t deny<\/p>\n

And I don’t know what to do<\/p>\n

But I’ll never cry<\/p>\n

So if I won’t kiss and tell<\/p>\n

So I’ll kiss and sing goodbye<\/p>\n

Now I’m out of my mind<\/p>\n

And it looks like I’m out of yours too<\/p>\n

Now I’m out of my mind<\/p>\n

And it looks like I’m out of yours too<\/p>\n

Grateful<\/a><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>28 October \u201890<\/p>\n

When I was a child in need of material things
\nThe local politician would his camera man bring
\nHim and the local charity would help me
\nHelp them get some free publicity
\nNow I’ve seen some jokers and roller skaters
\nOn charity runs run right past us
\nI felt so sorry because they didn’t understand
\nThey thought handicapped meant cap in hand
\nAnd you thought disabled meant unable
\n
\nSince Johnny’s tragic accident<\/em><\/p>\n

When of course it means that we’ve been
\n
\nHe’s been<\/em><\/p>\n

DIS-ENABLED<\/p>\n

And I was told that it was no one’s fault
\nAnd I was told to be grateful
\nFor anything they bought
\nBut I’ve never seen the working class
\nLicking out the rich kid’s ass
\nOr brushing the dust off the politician’s coat
\nFor getting them their rightful vote
\nSo I don’t think that I should be grateful
\nFor the way you make me feel disabled
\nNo I don’t think that I should be grateful
\nFor the way you add “dis” to able
\n
\nPlato said he’d rather be dead<\/em>
\nThan a man\u00a0without a\u00a0<\/em>hand
\nBut I’d rather be me than him any day
\nBecause he just couldn’t understand<\/em><\/p>\n

Now I don’t think that you should be allowed<\/p>\n

To feel good for what you’ve done
\nOh what you done,<\/em><\/p>\n

What you done, oh what you done?<\/p>\n

‘Cause when it comes to understanding<\/p>\n

Here’s the point of the story!<\/em><\/p>\n

It takes more than a charity run
\nWhen it comes to change
\nIt takes more
\nThan a program packed with fun
\nWhen it comes to brotherly love
\nIt takes more than a sentimental song
\n
\n0h sing it to me<\/em><\/p>\n

More than a million pounds
\nThat the last event wrung<\/p>\n

That’s handkerchief’s full of teardrops
\nNot door bells or telephones [telethons]
\nDisabled is a euphemism for
\nVictims of a social apartheid
\nYou better believe it baby’<\/em><\/p>\n

*\u00a0<\/em>Apologies to Plato who probably didn’t say that he’d rather be
\ndead than not have any hands. Unfortunately Aristotle, who did
\nsay near enough the same thing, was a bit of a mouthful, so
\nPlato was the next best philosopher who, in syllabic terms at
\nleast, was more appropriate<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you ever wake from dreams
\nWhere you fall in love
\nDo you ever go to sleep
\nAnd not want to wake up?<\/p>\n

Do you ever feel like
\nA cog on a wheel
\nMoved around by
\nThe force of evil?<\/p>\n

Do you ever talk of devils
\nThen try to hide
\nThe angels and devils
\nThat you keep inside?<\/p>\n

Do you ever put up
\nA vicious fight
\nWhen you know all along
\nThat you’re not right?<\/p>\n

Feels like evil
\nYeah that’s evil
\nDo you ever
\nWake from dreams?<\/p>\n

The waking moments<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If I dreamt that I had you here<\/p>\n

Would that be enough my dear?<\/p>\n

Would the waking moments<\/p>\n

Always be too near<\/p>\n

And the feelings that I’ve had<\/p>\n

And the depths that I’ve dived<\/p>\n

Could the dream be<\/p>\n

Could it be all I need?<\/p>\n

Would the waking moments<\/p>\n

Always be too sad for me<\/p>\n

Would the waking moments<\/p>\n

Always be here<\/p>\n

Now I’m not singing a protest song<\/p>\n

But I ain’t saying that nothing is wrong<\/p>\n

For I just thought you’d like to come along<\/p>\n

And see how I feel<\/p>\n

Now I’m not trying to spoil your day<\/p>\n

But maybe I’d like to change your ways<\/p>\n

I just thought you’d like to play<\/p>\n

And see how you feel<\/p>\n

Now I’m not here coz I ain’t got nothing to do<\/p>\n

There’s a life I have outside of me and you<\/p>\n

I just thought that I was almost through<\/p>\n

So how do you feel?<\/p>\n

Now I’m not aiming to attack<\/p>\n

But, maybe, I got up your back<\/p>\n

I just thought that you might be getting stuck<\/p>\n

So how do you feel?<\/p>\n

Now I’m not just looking for a friend<\/p>\n

Coz it’s all the same in the end<\/p>\n

I just thought you had to condescend<\/p>\n

To see how I feel?<\/p>\n

Little by little I will go away
\nLittle by little you will learn the lines

\nLittle by little I will fall from view
\nLittle by little I will lose you
\nLearn about a life without you<\/p>\n

A place in my mind that I will go
\nA place in my life that you got to know
\nA scar in my heart that I’m proud to show
\nYou said not to stay so we went with the flow<\/p>\n

I’ve been taught about passion many a time
\nI’ve been taught about love and given the signs
\nI’ve been taught about the way we’re meant to be
\nI followed the river and you flowed through me<\/p>\n

There’s a peace in my heart when you are near
\nIt’s something I love, something that’s dear
\nIt’s something to lose and its loss I fear
\nThe river is pure and the river is clear<\/p>\n

Flying with the angels<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m on the side of the angels<\/p>\n

Just look at that<\/p>\n

Aint it something?<\/p>\n

Just look at me<\/p>\n

Aint I somebody?<\/p>\n

Well we’re flying<\/p>\n

With the angels tonight<\/p>\n

We’re blinded<\/p>\n

By their guiding lights<\/p>\n

I am with you<\/p>\n

I am with you in this deepest blue<\/p>\n

I am keeping your heart in view<\/p>\n

I’d rather be alone, than be seen with you<\/p>\n

I’d rather be bored, than be with you<\/p>\n

I’d rather decompose out of view<\/p>\n

Than be buried in a grave with you<\/p>\n

My heart is speaking now<\/p>\n

How could you allow?<\/p>\n

Yourself to do, yourself to do<\/p>\n

This to me<\/p>\n

I’d rather forgive, than forget<\/p>\n

I’d rather we had never met<\/p>\n

I’d rather admit, to my regret<\/p>\n

Than live to the rules<\/p>\n

That you try to set<\/p>\n

The distance of time<\/p>\n

Oh, time is unkind<\/p>\n

My heart can speak<\/p>\n

In languages as soft as pain<\/p>\n

My heart is speaking now<\/p>\n

How could you allow?<\/p>\n

Yourself to do, yourself to do<\/p>\n

This to me<\/p>\n

Impulsion and compulsion<\/p>\n

Love is a simple and beautiful thing<\/p>\n

Sometimes, there’s pain and the baggage that it brings<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the train of the wedding gown<\/p>\n

Pulls the hearts of the lovers, lovers down<\/p>\n

Is it possible for a man and a woman to live together<\/p>\n

To have sex and children, to love forever<\/p>\n

The pain and turmoil, the turmoil and pain<\/p>\n

The conflict and strain<\/p>\n

Is it possible to, to be free, but always with me<\/p>\n

Is this thought so bad, will you always be, always be with me?<\/p>\n

Is the nature of love, the nature of love, always to be sad with me<\/p>\n

Love is a simple and beautiful thing<\/p>\n

Sometimes, there’s pain and the baggage that it brings<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the doubts and fears, sometimes the lust and tears<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the green and sometimes the greed<\/p>\n

Is all that the devil needs<\/p>\n

Oh love, oh love, oh love is a simple and beautiful thing<\/p>\n

It’s just the realization it brings<\/p>\n

The emptiness in your life<\/p>\n

The kind at heart and the kind of smart<\/p>\n

The quick to fly and the slow to die<\/p>\n

The clever and thick and the mud that sticks<\/p>\n

The sexy, the strange, the noise of the planes<\/p>\n

The quiet affair, the ones who don’t care<\/p>\n

The medium, the rare, the neighbourhood stare<\/p>\n

The girl who goes bare<\/p>\n

The boy with no hair<\/p>\n

The disabled man with his disability van, (a Porsche)<\/p>\n

The disabled lady with her husband, Brady,<\/p>\n

Happy All the Time
\nJuly \u201890<\/a><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

You cannot judge the man by the funeral
\nYou cannot judge a man at all
\nYou cannot hold a precious thing forever
\nOne day you’ve got to let it fall<\/p>\n

I cannot keep you happy all the time
\nI cannot say “I’m yours and you’re mine”
\nI cannot say, “I’ll love you forever”
\nBut you know I’ll keep you in my mind.<\/p>\n

We cannot understand all our feelings
\nI cannot say I know how you feel
\nWe cannot empathize in every way
\nBut understanding helps the scars to heal.<\/p>\n

Now they can not do what isn’t right for them
\nThey can only help when it suits their needs
\nThey cannot do what they do not want
\nIf they want they’ll laugh while you bleed<\/p>\n

She cannot say what’s right for her is right for him
\nThey cannot search for meaning without pain
\nShe suffers his light heart life for too long
\nNow he laughs at her as she takes him back again
\n.
\nYou and I cannot deny the judging that we do
\nWhen we stand so proud in these justice halls
\nI used to think these walls could hear
\nBut now I know it’s just these eyes have walls.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When it’s too late<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I can hear you calling<\/p>\n

You wave in the morning light<\/p>\n

As you leave the world behind<\/p>\n

I can hear you call<\/p>\n

There’s a ? in your eyes<\/p>\n

You smile in the morning light<\/p>\n

As you leave the world behind<\/p>\n

? Child<\/p>\n

Let you sleep<\/p>\n

The world is cruel sometimes<\/p>\n

I think of you and I wonder<\/p>\n

I can feel your shadow shine<\/p>\n

I can feel your shadow shine<\/p>\n

Always smile when I walked in<\/p>\n

I guess I’m cruel sometimes<\/p>\n

I always kissed you \u201cHello\u201d<\/p>\n

You always wave \u201cGoodbye\u201d<\/p>\n

You always read between the lines<\/p>\n

When it’s too late<\/p>\n

When it’s too late<\/p>\n

Then we see our mistakes<\/p>\n

Then we see our mistakes<\/p>\n

I do not want to idolise you<\/p>\n

I do not want to enshrine you<\/p>\n

I just want you to know<\/p>\n

That it’s me throwing pebbles<\/p>\n

At your window<\/p>\n

When it’s too late<\/p>\n

We see our mistakes<\/p>\n

We see our mistakes<\/p>\n

It could have been a different world<\/p>\n

It could have been the sweetest kiss<\/p>\n

It could have been the secrets kept<\/p>\n

In the most unlikely place<\/p>\n

Well you held me all night<\/p>\n

And you said it’s ok<\/p>\n

The heavens above<\/p>\n

Will look another way<\/p>\n

I wish that they would never go away<\/p>\n

I wish that you’d stay<\/p>\n

The beauty of the world is a light<\/p>\n

In the darkest night<\/p>\n

The beauty of your love for me<\/p>\n

Is a light to help me see<\/p>\n

The beauty of the world<\/p>\n

Will help you set yourself free<\/p>\n

The Dangers Of Loving You\u001b<\/a>\u20ac<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Where am I
\nAm I in your head?
\nWhat colour am I
\nAlmost a blood red?
\nYou could have chosen a colder man
\nAlmost the silent spirit sang<\/p>\n

For a woman I’d rather leave alone, you’ve warmed me to the bone
\nFor a person who scares me, for a person who scares me
\nYou’ve weakened me,
\nOh you’ve weakened me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it the thrill of the fear
\nIs it the beauty of holding you near
\nIs it a case of hard to reach
\nIs there poison in this Holy feast
\nIs there poison in this feast.<\/span><\/p>\n

So many unresolved amourettes
\nA case of never really met
\nAnd best
\nTo forget<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes I take a dangerous risk
\nIn holding my heart to your gentle kiss
\nSometimes I take
\nA dangerous risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

And my body is aching
\nAnd I’m all confused
\nBut it’s a cycle of events
\nThat I always choose
\nAn action paragraph
\nThat’s been
\nCut in
\nHalf.<\/span><\/p>\n

So I question the speed and I wonder if it’s lust
\n‘Cause I never really know what’s going on between us<\/span><\/p>\n

I could look for you in a lonely life or two
\nBut there’s something about a chase that obliterates your face
\nSo it’s a case of theft or a price to pay<\/span><\/p>\n

For a woman I’d rather leave alone, you’ve warmed me to the bone
\nA person who scares me, for a person whose weakness scares me
\nYou’ve weakened me, oh you’ve weakened me.<\/span><\/p>\n

So let me tell you that it’s not always enough
\nIt’s not enough to be told
\nAnd I told you and I told me too
\nBut I forgot to tell all of me
\nAbout the dangers of wanting you
\nAbout the dangers of loving you<\/span><\/p>\n

The Devils Whore<\/a><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

There’s people in the world
\nWho want to
\nDestroy me and you
\nThere’s people who want to
\nBreak the beautiful old
\nAnd the beautiful few
\nThere’s people
\nWho’ll fight a war
\nAnd wear the garter
\nOf the devils whore<\/p>\n

There’s people who try to explain their behaviour
\nThere’s people who’ll wait for the work of the saviour
\nThey’ll be sitting in their pious places
\nHailing Mary and their saving graces
\nBut I don’t know if we exist after death
\nI don’t know if we’ll be judged
\nBut God if you can hear me
\nPlease have mercy on this dark soul of mine<\/span><\/p>\n

I can not pretend to be so good
\nAnd my honesty is no saving grace
\nI am not so honest that I can have
\nJust one suit and just one face<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh I’m not beautiful
\nAnd my soul is not so old
\nAnd though I’ve been a whore
\nThe devil’s no longer my madam
\nBut we’ve done some deals
\nAnd she holds me still
\nTo these old seals<\/span><\/p>\n

And the gang is always there
\nSitting by the shores of death
\nThe devils whores of death

The cool of the evening
\nThe highs and the lows
\nThe cool of the morning
\nGoodbyes and hellos
\nThe traitor within me who takes me away
\nAway from your soul in the warmth of the day.<\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

I created some things today,
\nNot as good as that blue and grey
\nBut that’s O.K.
\nI did it ‘cos I love it and I love the blue and grey
\nI’m feeling so lucky that it passed this way.<\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

The heat of the night the heat of the noon
\nThe coldness of the mourning, that death came too soon
\nThe planting in springtime and the burial at sea
\nThe soul loving kind that comes back to me<\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

The sky is a beautiful grey and blue
\nI’ve got this sense of peace from, the breeze
\nMay be it will pass over you
\nMay be you’ll catch my thoughts and you’ll be pleased

\nOn the map of the land the sea
\nWhere I was conceived
\nThere’s mystical lines
\nThat pass between you and me<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

Now I’ve got a twin from another life
\nShe said be calm take my arm
\nHold on tight<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

Two men were talking
\nAnd I kissed your knee
\nWe swam in blue waters
\nAnd they handcuffed me
\nThey held me down
\nThey held me down
\nThey held me down
\nBut I’m not sorry<\/span><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n

You don’t seem to move
\nBut behind that strobe of light
\nYou dance<\/big><\/big>
\nI can feel you<\/big><\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

The tears you cried found their way to me
\nLike crocodiles<\/big><\/big>
\nReptiles
\nTied up
\nSet free<\/big><\/big><\/span><\/p>\n

Second Best
\n<\/a>14.3.1990 Simon Smith<\/a><\/h2>\n

Sometimes you’re going, going away I call from my bed, but you won’t stay When I wake up it’s the middle of the day Sometimes my life just goes that way. Somedays we’re friends others we’re not Somedays I have what you’d call a lot Somedays I haven’t what others have got Some days I have what I wish I had not Some live for money some for love Some like to push some like to shove Some like to live some want to die Some sit still while others try to fly Mud on your hands and blood in your eye You kissed my heart with the sweetest lie Pulled the sheets over my head Closed the door and left me for dead. Sometimes we’ve been running running for so long That we exchange our lives for a pocket full of songs Sometimes we put on our bulletproof vests And exchange a life of loving for a love that’s second best.<\/p>\n

I’ve Come To Meet You Half Way 7.1990 Simon Smith<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve come to meet you half way But I’m not quite sure from where You say you’ve been dying to meet me But you’re still standing over there We’ve been talking about opportunity You’ve said enough about equality I’ve reasoned that that ain’t true, How about you? You’ve overloaded me with presents And they’ve lost their pleasure for me You’ve just about done a good job At fucking up my equality And you’re saying don’t be angry Some day you’ll need a hand And your saying don’t be angry Someday you will understand \u00a0 Well I’ve been reaching out to you But you just turn away Saying something about a beggar And “I’ll change tomorrow” But you’ll never change today. Well I’ve come to meet you half way To talk about you and me You say there isn’t a problem None are so blind as those who will notsee I’ve come to meet you half way But I’m not quite sure from where You say you’ve been dying to meet me But you’re still standing over there Maybe it’s because you’re scared Or maybe you just don’t care Maybe my anger drives you away Maybe guilt would make you stay Maybe the fault isn’t mine We don’t live in a jungle, We’re here to live by the law We’re here to give and gain But who is all of it for? From the books in the classroom To the books of government From the designs of architects To the builders cement My hand is reaching out to you My heart is calling out to you<\/p>\n

Johnny And Sue 7.1989 Copyright Simon Smith<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Johnny talked to Sue While she’d wait for the forty two He’d make her laugh He’d make her cry He’d make her time fly by Johnny leased a car from motability [disability car leasing charity] And drove it ’round Sue’s vicinity And one day stopped and said to Sue “Do you want to get in with me” He’d make her laugh He’d make her cry He’d make her time fly by Johnny and Sue grew closer every day Thought their love would never go away Entwined under the burning sun Their life together had begun He’d make her laugh He’d make her cry He’d make her time fly by Sue’s mother would often warn Of the burden Johnny’d be Sue’s father said she loved out of sympathy And for Johnny’s sake she should leave him And for their sake she did He’d make her laugh He’d make her cry He’d make her time fly by A year went by in silence But the kind that said it all When Sue left home to live She didn’t laugh no more<\/p>\n

Loving Leo<\/a><\/p>\n

Tonight I dreamt that you were a scorpio<\/p>\n

Oh and when we were a loving, you were a loving leo<\/p>\n

I saw that you changed and rearranged<\/p>\n

I asked you to leave your man and you said no<\/p>\n

Oh and when we were a loving , you were a loving leo<\/p>\n

\n

I saw them pin up that dress, I saw the Priest about to bless<\/p>\n

I saw that you changed, you rearranged and I guess that you couldn’t care less<\/p>\n

I asked you to leave your man and you said no<\/p>\n

And when we were a loving , Baby, you were a loving leo<\/p>\n

\n

I saw the loss, the loss that led nowhere<\/p>\n

You looked at me, from beneath, your lovely hair<\/p>\n

You looked at me and whispered that you just didn’t care<\/p>\n

I asked you to leave your man and you said no<\/p>\n

Oh but when we were a loving, Baby, you were a loving leo<\/p>\n

\n

I couldn’t cry, I guess the reasons why<\/p>\n

I didn’t stand a chance, but I kept on looking for your romantic glance<\/p>\n

I saw you’d changed, I saw you’d rearranged<\/p>\n

I went, when you told me, when you told me to go<\/p>\n

But sometimes it takes a dream to tell us what’s been real<\/p>\n

Sometimes it takes a feeling, to tell us the way we feel<\/p>\n

Sometimes it takes too long, to understand what went wrong<\/p>\n

\n

Last night I dreamt you were a loving scorpio<\/p>\n

But when we were a loving , you were a loving leo<\/p>\n

I saw that you’d changed and saw that you’d rearranged<\/p>\n

I asked you to leave your man and you said no<\/p>\n

And when we were a loving, you were a loving leo<\/p>\n

\n

I saw them pin up that dress<\/p>\n

I saw the Priest about to bless<\/p>\n

I saw that you’d changed, I saw you couldn’t care less<\/p>\n

I saw the loss, below that loving cross<\/p>\n

A loss that led nowhere<\/p>\n

\n

I couldn’t cry, I couldn’t cry<\/p>\n

I couldn’t cry, but I guess the reasons why<\/p>\n

I didn’t stand a chance<\/p>\n

Oh, but I kept on looking, for your romantic glance<\/p>\n

I saw you change, when you told me to go<\/p>\n

When you told me to leave you<\/p>\n

I knew you weren’t a loving leo<\/p>\n

But sometimes it takes a dream to tell us what’s been real<\/p>\n

Sometimes it takes a feeling, to tell us what we feel<\/p>\n

He Kicks Off His Shoes<\/a><\/h3>\n

He kicks off his shoes<\/p>\n

Lies back on his bed<\/p>\n

Puts his hand behind his neck<\/p>\n

To take the weight of his head<\/p>\n

\n

Looks across to his wife<\/p>\n

Eyes are so sore<\/p>\n

Crying that tells the world<\/p>\n

She can’t take any more<\/p>\n

\n

The Government, are pulling,<\/p>\n

The economy into place<\/p>\n

Bringing back the smiles<\/p>\n

On the rich kids’ face<\/p>\n

\n

The Government are making up<\/p>\n

For lost ground<\/p>\n

The Government are happy,<\/p>\n

Coz they can’t hear the sound<\/p>\n

\n

The middle classes,<\/p>\n

Bringing their fears around<\/p>\n

Rents go up, inflation goes down,<\/p>\n

Crimes goes up and the town feels down<\/p>\n

\n

Children grow up<\/p>\n

And parents break down<\/p>\n

Thatcher stood up<\/p>\n

And no-one knocked her down<\/p>\n

\n

Kicks off his shoes<\/p>\n

Lies back on his bed<\/p>\n

Puts his hand behind his neck<\/p>\n

To take the weight of his head<\/p>\n

\n

Looks across to his wife<\/p>\n

Eyes are so sore<\/p>\n

Crying that tells the world<\/p>\n

She can’t take any more<\/p>\n

\n

The Government, are pulling,<\/p>\n

The economy into place<\/p>\n

Bringing back the smiles<\/p>\n

Some Say We Go To Heaven<\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

Some say we go to heaven<\/p>\n

Some say we go to hell<\/p>\n

Some say we’re going nowhere<\/p>\n

I don’t know where we go<\/p>\n

When they ring that bell<\/p>\n

\n

Now the followers of religion<\/p>\n

The religion of Spiritualism<\/p>\n

Confirm in their belief<\/p>\n

Affirm in their belief<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve always had my doubts<\/p>\n

And I always will<\/p>\n

From a belief<\/p>\n

Is there for it there to kill<\/p>\n

\n

Mother Nature plays games<\/p>\n

When you want to know what’s true<\/p>\n

To tease us all<\/p>\n

And she teases you<\/p>\n

\n

But he plays games<\/p>\n

You think you are the best of friends<\/p>\n

You are never quite sure<\/p>\n

When the friendship ends<\/p>\n

Sun Comes Up<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Sun comes up<\/p>\n

The rain falls down<\/p>\n

The moon follows the sun<\/p>\n

The rainbow goes round<\/p>\n

\n

There’s smoke from my car<\/p>\n

It follow me home<\/p>\n

I shut it from my mind<\/p>\n

But it wont leave me alone<\/p>\n

\n

The river kills the fish<\/p>\n

It’s the diplomatic war<\/p>\n

When the river starts to die<\/p>\n

They fill it some more<\/p>\n

\n

There’s dead fish<\/p>\n

Who are laying<\/p>\n

On the shore<\/p>\n

\n

This money’s ok<\/p>\n

For I like it too<\/p>\n

When we’ve earned this money<\/p>\n

It will be the end of me and you<\/p>\n

\n

There’s a feeling in the air<\/p>\n

You can feel it too<\/p>\n

Everyone knows<\/p>\n

What they’ve got to do<\/p>\n

\n

This Government<\/p>\n

It makes us fools<\/p>\n

And doesn’t do<\/p>\n

What it knows to be best<\/p>\n

Their priority’s the profit<\/p>\n

They just don’t worry for the rest<\/p>\n

\n

One day you’re gonna die<\/p>\n

Live your life to its full<\/p>\n

Not every joy<\/p>\n

Is worth<\/p>\n

The beauty<\/p>\n

The beauty of this earth<\/p>\n

\n

There’s smoke from my car<\/p>\n

It follows me<\/p>\n

It’s the diplomatic war<\/p>\n

When the river starts to die<\/p>\n

They fill it some more<\/p>\n

There’a a fish laying<\/p>\n

On the shore<\/p>\n

\n

Now money’s ok<\/p>\n

And I like it too<\/p>\n

But the way we earn this money<\/p>\n

Is the enemy in you<\/p>\n

\n

There’s a feeling in the air<\/p>\n

You can feel it too<\/p>\n

Everyone wants to know<\/p>\n

What they got to do<\/p>\n

\n

This Government<\/p>\n

It makes us fools<\/p>\n

It doesn’t do<\/p>\n

What it knows to be best<\/p>\n

Their priority’s the profit<\/p>\n

They just don’t worry for the rest<\/p>\n

\n

One day you die<\/p>\n

Live life to its full<\/p>\n

The earth is great<\/p>\n

A joy can be worth<\/p>\n

The beauty of this earth<\/p>\n

\n

What joy can be worth<\/p>\n

The beauty of this earth<\/p>\n

What joy can be worth<\/p>\n

The beauty of this earth<\/p>\n

John And Marie<\/a><\/h2>\n

\n

John and Marie they went out to tea<\/p>\n

He said \u201csomebody keeps turning out the light, so I can’t see\u201d<\/p>\n

Marie said \u201csometimes we take out the bulb ourselves\u201d<\/p>\n

So, one night, Marie screwed the bulb back in<\/p>\n

She turned the power on, all that time, John had been wrong<\/p>\n

All that time, John, oh John had been wrong<\/p>\n

\n

Well I’ve sang a song, about somebody doing something wrong<\/p>\n

When, of course, it was me all along<\/p>\n

I said a prayer, that you’d be alright<\/p>\n

Then I went out, looking for a fight<\/p>\n

Oh I said a prayer, that you’d be alright<\/p>\n

Then I went out, looking for a fight<\/p>\n

\n

A girl I knew, swore to God, and to her man<\/p>\n

That no matter what, she’d always be at hand<\/p>\n

He left her for another girl, left her to play her part<\/p>\n

Well she’s still there, her hand on heart<\/p>\n

Well she’s still there, her hand on heart<\/p>\n

Well, she’s still there, she’s just playing,<\/p>\n

She’s just playing, her part<\/p>\n

\n

Well I’ve sang a song, about somebody doing something wrong<\/p>\n

When, of course, it was me all along<\/p>\n

\n

The hooker and the whore, and the boy next door<\/p>\n

They all agreed they knew, where they stood<\/p>\n

The hooker, the whore, on the corner of the street<\/p>\n

And the man and his heart, under their feet<\/p>\n

\n

Well I’ve sang a song, about somebody doing something wrong<\/p>\n

When, of course, it was me all along<\/p>\n

I said a prayer, that you’d be alright<\/p>\n

Then I went out, looking for a fight<\/p>\n

I went looking for a fight<\/p>\n

You Pass Me By<\/a><\/h2>\n

\n

\n

I saw you walking past me<\/p>\n

I gave a sign so you could see<\/p>\n

You pass me by<\/p>\n

You pass me by<\/p>\n

You never stop to ask me, ask me why<\/p>\n

\n

The winter wind blew through me<\/p>\n

I placed poems in the dead sea<\/p>\n

\n

You pass me by<\/p>\n

You pass me by<\/p>\n

You never stop to ask me, ask me why<\/p>\n

\n

The waves thought nothing of me<\/p>\n

Their poetry seemed plain to see<\/p>\n

\n

You pass me by<\/p>\n

You pass me by<\/p>\n

You didn’t even stop to say \u201cgoodbye\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Lying Like We’ve Never Lied<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

Say you’re gonna to leave me anyway<\/p>\n

The feeling I’ve got is going to be today<\/p>\n

I couldn’t wait, so I guess I’ll have to pay<\/p>\n

The impatience of the heart, so ready to betray<\/p>\n

\n

Said you were gonna call back<\/p>\n

When you hair was done<\/p>\n

I don’t know how you do it<\/p>\n

But it must be bloody fun<\/p>\n

\n

Always so relieved when my life just runs along<\/p>\n

But time passes so slowly<\/p>\n

When my feelings are so strong<\/p>\n

Everything’s a task<\/p>\n

When I am not in your mind<\/p>\n

The pressures I am putting on you<\/p>\n

Are leaving me behind<\/p>\n

\n

The first kiss to the last wave<\/p>\n

Of your hand as you say \u201cgoodbye\u201d<\/p>\n

From the first dance to the last chance<\/p>\n

To tell myself the lies<\/p>\n

\n

The speeding of the car<\/p>\n

And the wind is in your hair<\/p>\n

And we’re lying like we’ve never lied<\/p>\n

And we lie that we don’t care<\/p>\n

\n

Life is speeding past us<\/p>\n

And its waving us \u201cgoodbye\u201d<\/p>\n

Singing us silent melodies<\/p>\n

As we lie like we’ve never lied<\/p>\n

As we lie like we’ve never lied<\/p>\n

\n

To live our life is one thing<\/p>\n

If we live it to its full<\/p>\n

But to hide behind these lies<\/p>\n

Makes us into fools<\/p>\n

\n

The saddest waste of time<\/p>\n

That time will ever kill<\/p>\n

So if you’ve got something bad to say<\/p>\n

For God’s sake say it anyway<\/p>\n

\n

So from the first kiss<\/p>\n

To the last wave of your hand<\/p>\n

As you say \u201cgoodbye\u201d<\/p>\n

From the first dance to the last chance<\/p>\n

To tell myself the lies<\/p>\n

\n

The speeding of the car<\/p>\n

And the wind is in your hair<\/p>\n

And we’re lying like we’ve never lied<\/p>\n

And we lie that we don’t care<\/p>\n

\n

Life is speeding past us<\/p>\n

And its waving us \u201cgoodbye\u201d<\/p>\n

Singing us silent melodies<\/p>\n

As we lie like we’ve never lied<\/p>\n

As we lie like we’ve never lied<\/p>\n

\n

The pin striped politician<\/p>\n

Explains to his business friends<\/p>\n

The political pros and cons<\/p>\n

Of driving a Mercedes Benz<\/p>\n

\n

They laugh together<\/p>\n

Menus in hand<\/p>\n

As the old boys pretend<\/p>\n

To understand<\/p>\n

\n

When they were kids<\/p>\n

They understood the major differences<\/p>\n

Between bad and good<\/p>\n

Now it seems<\/p>\n

That lies are in<\/p>\n

They hide behind<\/p>\n

Their desire to win<\/p>\n

\n

The pin striped politician<\/p>\n

Is asked by his son to say<\/p>\n

Where between the devil and Christ<\/p>\n

His intentions lay<\/p>\n

\n

Looked at his son<\/p>\n

Said, \u201cyou know my son\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter plays pick up<\/p>\n

With the girls that he meets<\/p>\n

Charms them with his eyes<\/p>\n

And knocks them off their feet<\/p>\n

Charms them with his lies<\/p>\n

Lies between the sheets<\/p>\n

Peter’s life’s been easy<\/p>\n

Easy come and go<\/p>\n

There’s nobody knows Peter<\/p>\n

And no-one Peter knows<\/p>\n

\n

Paul pays for everyone<\/p>\n

And keeps them all amused<\/p>\n

Feels lonely after parties<\/p>\n

And complains of being used<\/p>\n

Consoles himself alone at night<\/p>\n

Something’s got to change<\/p>\n

Buys himself a new suit<\/p>\n

From the latest in the range<\/p>\n

\n

Steven’s in the parlour<\/p>\n

Counting out the money<\/p>\n

Looks at his lover<\/p>\n

And says something funny<\/p>\n

Looking for excuses<\/p>\n

In the sorrow of her eyes<\/p>\n

Looking for the truth<\/p>\n

With a heart full of lies<\/p>\n

\n

Mark lost his lover<\/p>\n

Cried a thousand tears<\/p>\n

Filled his heart with regrets<\/p>\n

Of how he’d spent his years<\/p>\n

Looks out the window<\/p>\n

Things look strange<\/p>\n

Saw his reflection<\/p>\n

Saw that he’d changed<\/p>\n

\n

Luke followed his heart<\/p>\n

And did what he felt was best<\/p>\n

Cast down his nets<\/p>\n

And gave away the rest<\/p>\n

All his life he’d felt alone<\/p>\n

All his life he never felt at home<\/p>\n

\n

All his life he’d felt alone<\/p>\n

All his life he never felt at home<\/p>\n

Can you tell me what you’re feeling?<\/p>\n

Can you tell me which way to go?<\/p>\n

\n

I can’t say I’m in love<\/p>\n

I can’t say coz I just don’t know<\/p>\n

I’ve been wondering about you lately<\/p>\n

Can you tell me which way to go<\/p>\n

\n

This river runs its course<\/p>\n

It runs it course<\/p>\n

But a driver he follows his nose<\/p>\n

There’s a wind that comes each winter<\/p>\n

They all know which way to go<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve been wondering about you lately<\/p>\n

There’s something I want to know<\/p>\n

I’ve been wondering about you lately<\/p>\n

Can you tell me which way to go?<\/p>\n

Tolerate<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When the sun comes up I lay down<\/p>\n

You ring me up and I can hear you frown<\/p>\n

You don’t approve, you make it known<\/p>\n

Like a hurricane, with its wind a blowing<\/p>\n

\n

There’s a word, just for you<\/p>\n

I’m hoping that, it’s gonna do<\/p>\n

Coz this word is tolerate<\/p>\n

\n

There’s small and tall, and black and white<\/p>\n

And people with bodies, that will give you a fright<\/p>\n

There’s people like you, and there’s people like me<\/p>\n

I’ve even heard there’s people, who come from the sea<\/p>\n

\n

There’s people who are prompt, but lots are late<\/p>\n

There’s lines that are predictable, to tolerate<\/p>\n

\n

There’s those that can, and there’s those that can’t<\/p>\n

There’s those that live, with a different slant<\/p>\n

There’s people who love, and there’s people who hate<\/p>\n

There’s people even telling you to tolerate<\/p>\n

\n

There’s drums banging out, from holier than thou’s<\/p>\n

There’s people even breaking, the holiest of vows<\/p>\n

There’s politicians lying, calling you their mate<\/p>\n

Just stick you finger in your ear, and tolerate<\/p>\n

\n

There’s people who swear, who just don’t care<\/p>\n

Those that dote too much, those that sing songs<\/p>\n

That go on too long, looking for a word that rhymes with tolerate<\/p>\n

\n

Get on your nerves singing tolerate<\/p>\n

Get on your nerves singing tolerate<\/p>\n

\n

There’s people like you, and there’s people like me<\/p>\n

I’ve even heard there’s people, who come from the sea<\/p>\n

\n

There’s small and tall, and black and white<\/p>\n

And people with bodies, that will give you a fright<\/p>\n

\n

There’s people who are prompt, but lots are late<\/p>\n

There’s lines that are predictable, to tolerate<\/p>\n

\n

There’s those that can, and there’s those that can’t<\/p>\n

There’s those that live, with a different slant<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Valentine’s Day<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

Johnny and Sue went to dinner<\/p>\n

Wined and dined the evening through<\/p>\n

Exchanged the best of friendship<\/p>\n

Said their love was true<\/p>\n

\n

Wendy and Mike got drunk together<\/p>\n

Cuddled close all through the night<\/p>\n

Felt good with one another<\/p>\n

Yeah they felt alright<\/p>\n

\n

Me and you is not so simple<\/p>\n

Me and you is not ok<\/p>\n

Questioning the things we have<\/p>\n

On this Valentine’s Day<\/p>\n

\n

I know there’s people alone<\/p>\n

Nobody close to call<\/p>\n

To whom this day reveals<\/p>\n

There’s nobody at all<\/p>\n

\n

Me and you is not so simple<\/p>\n

Me and you is not ok<\/p>\n

Questioning the things we have<\/p>\n

On this Valentine’s Day<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

You Said<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you told me he died<\/p>\n

I didn’t know what to say<\/p>\n

The sadness in your eyes<\/p>\n

No tears could wash away<\/p>\n

\n

I didn’t want to touch you<\/p>\n

But you were better left to cry<\/p>\n

You said that we must mourn<\/p>\n

When our close friends die<\/p>\n

\n

I didn’t write you letters<\/p>\n

With words aimed to console<\/p>\n

But the pain was meant to be<\/p>\n

Beyond your head’s control<\/p>\n

\n

I didn’t want to touch you<\/p>\n

I didn’t want to touch you<\/p>\n

I didn’t want to touch you<\/p>\n

You were better left to cry<\/p>\n

\n

You said that we must mourn<\/p>\n

When our close friends die<\/p>\n

\n

When you told me he died<\/p>\n

I didn’t know what to say<\/p>\n

Saw the sadness in your eyes<\/p>\n

No tears could wash away<\/p>\n

\n

I didn’t write you letters<\/p>\n

With words aimed to console<\/p>\n

When the pain was<\/p>\n

Beyond your head’s control<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

Hard to keep your cool \/ Us And Them<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

It’s hard to keep your cool<\/p>\n

When you’re being treated like a fool<\/p>\n

It’s even harder being who you are<\/p>\n

\n

It’s hard to speak your mind<\/p>\n

When you’re getting left behind<\/p>\n

That the closest that you know is very far<\/p>\n

\n

It’s us and them and you and me<\/p>\n

And every term I know ends in \u201cbody\u201d<\/p>\n

But my body is out and I’m nobody<\/p>\n

As far as I can see<\/p>\n

\n

For the girls and boys who parade around town<\/p>\n

I’ve got to say my envy brings me down<\/p>\n

I say to myself a thought I keep<\/p>\n

That beauty of this kind isn’t very deep<\/p>\n

And if I’m gonna be loved<\/p>\n

I’d rather be loved for me<\/p>\n

\n

It’s us and them and you and me<\/p>\n

And every term I know ends in \u201cbody\u201d<\/p>\n

But my body is out and I’m nobody<\/p>\n

As far as I can see<\/p>\n

\n

There’s people in this world<\/p>\n

Who think all we need is a fuck<\/p>\n

I’m sorry to say<\/p>\n

That they’re out of luck<\/p>\n

I’ve tried all that<\/p>\n

And still don’t feel much better<\/p>\n

\n

It’s us and them and you and me<\/p>\n

And every term I know ends in \u201cbody\u201d<\/p>\n

But my body is out and I’m nobody<\/p>\n

As far as I can see<\/p>\n

\n

There’s seven and a half million people<\/p>\n

Who are very quiet today<\/p>\n

Shoved under the carpet<\/p>\n

Or denied their say<\/p>\n

\n

I’m not sure if you’re scene is for me<\/p>\n

But then I haven’t had the opportunity<\/p>\n

That maybe the way you want it<\/p>\n

But that ain’t the way its gonna be<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Halfway Through The Week<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\n

It’s halfway through the week<\/p>\n

And there’s letters still unsent<\/p>\n

Halfway through my life<\/p>\n

So much time’s been badly spent<\/p>\n

It’s halfway through the month<\/p>\n

I’m still owing on the rent<\/p>\n

\n

The cinematic kiss<\/p>\n

The silence of retreat<\/p>\n

The smell of the shore<\/p>\n

After months at sea<\/p>\n

The life of lost leaders<\/p>\n

Are coming home for me<\/p>\n

\n

What could have been<\/p>\n

Will never be<\/p>\n

There’s a tide coming in<\/p>\n

And water at my feet<\/p>\n

The visitor’s book is full<\/p>\n

A lover still to meet<\/p>\n

She is stepping over puddles<\/p>\n

In an early morning street<\/p>\n

\n

The cinematic kiss<\/p>\n

The silence of retreat<\/p>\n

The smell of the shore<\/p>\n

After months at sea<\/p>\n

The life of lost leaders<\/p>\n

Are coming home for me<\/p>\n

\n

The radio’s playing all night<\/p>\n

It ain’t live and the DJ sleeps<\/p>\n

I’m tired of feeling the blues<\/p>\n

The way a woman meets<\/p>\n

She’s thinking our chance is gone<\/p>\n

The finder, the finder,<\/p>\n

The finder always keeps<\/p>\n

\n

The cinematic kiss<\/p>\n

The silence of the street<\/p>\n

The smell of the shore<\/p>\n

After months at sea<\/p>\n

The life of lost leaders<\/p>\n

Are coming home for me<\/p>\n

\n

What could have been<\/p>\n

Will never, never be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
