Lyrics
Can you hear a funny voice
It seems to suffer deep
We might as well
Just talk in our sleep
When we move we seem to cling
It seems to bring us down
It's written in the stars
Below our frowns
We don't even have to laugh about it
You don't even have to touch me
But take one small piece of advice
Burn it up, burn it up
Take two strong alibis
Burn it up, burn it up
We don't even have to laugh about it
You don't even have to touch me
But if we resist what does not fit
We'll end up just like clowns
It's written in the stars
Below our frowns so
Take one small piece of advice
Burn it up, burn it up
Take two strong alibis
Burn it up, burn it up
Keep on burnin' it up (repeat and fade)

Fate, like in Tristan's dream
Is spending time with me
I gotta get alone
I gotta get back home
For another week
Coz I can't even speak
And I just haven't been
Spending time with me
Chorus:
Care alot
All I do is care alot
I take my time and share it up
It's nothing bad of me
Something's wrong
And all I do is carry on
And all I do is care alot
It's nothing bad of me
S'poze, I could always go
I never felt so low
I never felt so weak
That I can't even speak
And I just haven't been
Spending time with me
Chorus
I care I care I care I care

Cold winds by his name
Blow through the door
People give way
He don't like what he saw
So he snuffs it right out
Straight to the floor
When it kills it
He fills its image with hope
But the stain of life's invasions
Leaves a shadow on his coat
His mind is blinded
His spirit is weak
And the beige and bile
Of jaded style
Hangs round him as he speaks
Chorus:
I'm still happy
Doing what I can
Oh but you haven't a clue
If you're never in the mood
Preacher preach in vain
If you fuck the crowd
You can't complain
It's lonely by the boards
If you piss me around
I'll make you poor
A mate of mine
He wastes his time
On image and dope
But the stain of life's invasions
Leaves him puzzled and remote
Chorus

Your position is your own story
Smug in you chair
Your life steeped in glory
And while you crave the admiration
Of the world and his wife
You'll be claimin', "All I'm tryin to do
Is get some comfort in my life"
Well, you crave respect
From all the people
That you meet in the street
And who think you're so feeble
Well, you'll deny the truth
You'll say your age is your right
Well exclaimin', "I'll I'm tryin to do
Is get some comfort in my life"
Well, there is more to your tears
Than just wasted years
There's dancing fright
That you can't deal with inside
But I feel there's no obligation
To respect your station
When you use your stumblin' walk
To cover your faults
But you don't hear the truth
Youll say you're treated bad
We'll be made into devils
And told that were mad
And we'll contend with your evils
And we'll content with your strife
And you'll claim, "All I'm tryin to do
Is get some comfort in my life"
So I remove my feeling
And I forfeit my duties
You'd have me dance around fires
Screamin', "Hypocrites! Liars!"
But my mind is my head
And it's not painted red
And I cry as the dead
Anyway I am led
And as the leaves flutter down
And fall on the ground
And the seasons have ended without a sound
And they pay their respects
And they pronounce the rights
You'll still claim, "All I'm tryin to do
Is get some comfort in my life"
All I'm tryin to do
Is get some comfort in my life (Repeat)

Big strong man come looking for me
Tryna keep himself in touch
With the almost single mathematician
His mind on a steady lunch
He goes yak yak yak yak
Burning his yak
Burning up his yak all day
For the cool cool Mathematician
Now he won't just go away
And it's getting slack
You won't talk back
And it's gonna crack
You don't talk back
Sweeny come down staring at me
Staring by the side of the road
I got a long hair disposition
And my mind's on a heavy load
I go back back back
Back in the bug
Sitting in the bug all day
With the cool cool Mathematician
and my my it's a heavy weight
And it's getting slack
You won't talk back
And it's gonna crack
You don't talk back
Look at where you're at
It's getting slack
And it's gonna crack
You don't talk b..b..b..back!

Don't leave me dry
others tried
Smoke, live your life
Then just die, then just die
Others planned it
Psuedo-manded, saw them stand by
Don't leave me dry

It's good to see you
But I don't please you
And you should tell me the truth
'Cos my body is aching
My bed's been shaking
I wanna get in gear and
Drop the Roof
Drop my nails in it
Felt so cold in it
Spun my time weaving
Pictures not to scare the ghosts
And then I rise in it
Fantasize with it
And I change my style in it
Whisper and let it go
It's gonna take good time
And be just fine
I'd love to offer you some proof
But my body is aching
And my beds been shaking
I wanna get in gear and
Drop the Roof

Well I figure I've got time
To do the things I want
To do with you
And if I thought I was safe
I'd be catching up
Not creaking into two
Chorus:
Find me an English meadow
Make it yellow
Make it big enough
For me to breathe
Get me a road to plenty
Make it laugh
Make it tell lots of funny jokes to me
Coz I can't understand the way
We look at all the world
With so much heartache
Telling lies we fantasize
We have to find our minds
Before we're ornate
All great
Well I figure I've got time
To do the things I want
To do with you
Find me an English meadow
Make it yellow
Make it big enough
for me to breathe
Get me a road to plenty
Make it laugh
Make it tell lots of funny jokes to me

He wants to be the queen
So he rides limousines
And he's getting very old
Move away, you're too cold
Chorus:
The Fledgling Operator
25 lives starting to fly
The Fledgling Operator
Newspaper hands won't cover your eyes
25 lives starting to fly
He wants to be the bean
So he steals every scene
And he's getting very coarse
Move away, you're too false
Chorus
Even when he goes to sleep
There will be a point where he's gonna meet
The fledgling child that's half his age
Like a drop of ash he will burn away
Hip-hop to the sky
Selling lies on her thighs
And she's getting very high
Runaway, you're too snide
Fledgling operator
25 lives starting to fly
Newspaper hands won't cover your eyes
Dreams come true on the overline
25 lives starting to fly

I bought a picture and it came
From this girl
It was so movin'
But when I got home I couldn't
Pick up the tones
It felt so grueling
Chorus:
Calm it right down, pick up the baby
Gracie's social please me's
All on my own, cutting up daisies
Picture me, so damn easy
Gracie's social please me's
Rich as you like it
Which is the price
At which you'd suit me
Come on the vices of American prices
And the fruit queen
Chorus
I should stay in and write a letter
It's not too big enough you know
It's not so big you can't let go
It's not so big you should feel better
Give me a flyer, pick up the mic
And shoot me
Jaguar herd its like the bird
On the word
Yeah it's got groupies
Calm it right down, pick up the baby
Gracie's social please me's
All on my own, getting it crazy
Picture me, so damn easy
Gracie's social please me's

She's looking up the world
And all its faces
She knows the little people
In high places
Hold it on the charm
I couldn't care a lot
My sun is breaking straight into pearls
She's moving up crowd and all it graces
She's making fun of me
I think she's racist
Hold it on the charm
I couldn't care a lot
My sun is breaking straight into pearls
Stand sad and synergy
Vacant queen, vacant dreams
Over mad'egoes, mad'eforwards
Take all the lines you need
I got weed, I got weed
And its taking its time
And its taking it time
Stand round the back bar crowd
And all the wasted
They're only talking coz
They think they're famous
Hold it on the charm
I couldn't care a lot
My sun is breaking straight into pearls
Hold it on the charm I couldn't care a lot
My sun is breaking straight into pearls
My sun is breaking straight into pearls
My sun is breaking straight into pearls

I'm feeling blue
My soul went out the door
Left me full of gloom
But there's no pain, no, no
Only the feeling
That I'll never be the same
And I don't know what to do
There goes my girl
And on this blighted shore
She is a shinin' pearl
But I can feel
And never count the memories
That only makes me ill
And I don't know what to do
So will you tell me
Chorus:
How does a man
Reach for that other man
Tell me, cause I don't know
No, I don't know
What does he do
When his leaves go brown
As they fall on you
Tell me, cause I don't know
Please babe don't touch
It only touches me
Cause I miss that girl so much
But I'm not there
And I mustn't think so much
Be so damn aware
And I don't know what to do
So will you tell me
Chorus
No, no, no, no (Repeat)
I don't know
I don't know

I might be moving my hand up
The truth of us lands
What do we say
We say that our life's got a life
Of its own now
It's burning through the bad flames
I know you're running deep inside me
Jupiter stand, show me the way
I dunno I've got a bee in my bonnet
It's much too much to ask names
Chorus:
I'd rather be on my knees
Where I can think and I can breath
Not waiting around every morning
Faking for a ride on you train
'Cos I got time on my brain
Won't stay around for the glory baby
I know the world flies through your mirror
But could you just laugh
Laugh at your face
Your face shows a lifeline of
Grease-style depressions
Moving up you bad days
Chorus
back to top
If your dreams come true
And the ties are broken
I can hardly say
But the more you gain by being certain
The more it drifts away
Just get back
Chorus:
In the groove again
Watching shadows fall with
Messages from friends
I know the truth rings out
You'rein the groove again
And time is falling down
This hopeful lover's pen
He knows the ink runs out
And the burning light should
Not be questioned
When you really have no say
'Cos the more you move in the
Wrong direction
The greater is the pain
Just get back
Chorus
Words that told me
In arms that hold me
They always help the wounds to soothe
But the thought of simply opening
Fills me with foreboding
'Cos there's always things
I fear I'd lose
But if your song dies down on a
Ripped up curtain
You really have no say
But if by chance you get to hurting
You'll take away the pain
If you get back
Chorus
High top chairs
They never stop me
From falling down on my back
Routes often evaded
Memory has invaded
And lowers my chin into my mac
But if your dreams come true
When the ties are broken
I can hardly say
But if by chance you get to hurting
You'll take away the pain
If you get back
Chorus
If your dreams come true
When the ties are broken
I can hardly say
But the more you gain by being certain
The more it drifts away

Faded in word
Trying to do something
Broken and dirt
Speaking to nothing
And when I get the full rush
It leads me in too deep
I sleep as I rise
On the cheap rust in my eyes
Stayed in in day
Trying to do something
Rainfall in grey
Screaming at nothing
And when it takes me forward
And the band-man sends his fleet
I slip as I rise
On the cheap rust in my eyes
Chorus:
It's a sad sad fact
When you don't know where you're at
It's a crying shame
When you've no-one else to blame
Faded in word
Trying to be lucky
Rainfall in grey
Life is so mucky
As I try to understand it
A shadow takes my place
It grips and it haunts me
It creeps out from my sides
Chorus
back to top
Telling me I got no fears
Telling me I got no tears
Is it something I should fear
Is it in my atmosphere
Or is it that I just don't care
You're trying hard but you won't share
Is it something I should fear
Is it in my atmosphere
And is it right that you should mind
The truth of life is hard to find
I dunno what I'm doing here
Is it in my atmosphere
Is it in my atmosphere
Is it in my atmosphere
Is it in my atmosphere
Lets fear
Is it in my atmosphere
Telling me I got no mind
Telling me that I am blind
You dunno what to say to me
She laughs across the Burmese Sea
I dunno what I'm doing here
I dunno why you're plagued with fear
And even though you mean those tears
Is it in my atmosphere
Is it in my atmosphere
Is it in my atmosphere
Coz I been spinning out on air
Looking down without a care
Try'na keep myself between
All the places that I've been
People talking without blame
People walking without shame
And I have seen your destiny
And it is not the life for me
Tell me what you wanna be (repeat and fade)
Is it in my atmosphere (repeat and fade)

Jane dear
Your inspiration always leads me
To the depths of desperation
I feel so close to tears
Your inspiration always leads me
To the depths of desperation
I wanna go to the sea
This year
You know the summer months of madness
Fade away next to Jane's sadness
I feel so close to tears
Your inspiration only leads me to
the depths of desperation
I wanna go to the sea
This year
All the waves of my engagements
Passes up my old relations
I feel so close to tears
Your inspiration only leads me
To the depths of desperation
I wanna go to the sea

Passing out of a maudlin occupation
And sticking loads of
Pamphlets on the wall
Struck down by a vermin inclination

Greatest queen of them all

Judas Flip is the greatest queen of them all
So turning loose from the
Fucked up situation

Gonna help the cold

Burnt up pen and paper

Greatest queen of them all

Touch my head my eyes gone blind
My mouth is dry my hands are tired
My skin is blemished with disease
They say you're cool so rescue me

I'm gonna ball
Cos all at once I've got a burning reputation
and Judas Flip is the greatest queen

Left behind me
Miles behind me
I feel an aching
My heads been waiting
For the right to bind me
Left behind
The degradation
The one salvation
You think you've got
The brother in your eyes
Till someone comes
And tears you from behind
Don't stop now
Mr. Point of View
You fucked up boy with an attitude
You spend your life
In a drugged out haze
A packet of fags and a soul to raise
I dunno what it does for you
But your clinky little heart
Has got a hold on you
Left behind me
Miles behind me
I feel an aching
My heads been waiting
For the right to bind me
Left behind
The degradation
The one salvation
The sun sets in the burning
Of your eyes
But someone's gonna tell you
What they find
Spend my time just livin' here
Sack the lights
Sack the beer
And don't detain me when I say
That the sacred heart
Won't go away
You scream and fight
But your TV rules
The fucked up world
Still in love with you
Your gonna get it
Straight between your eyes
When someone comes
And tells you that there's more
To your life

Finished and gone to sleep

Been up a spiral ladder
Into an evening socket
Been up a spiral ladder
So inspired I couldn't stop it
Felt the strangest
Felt the strangest by 2
Into the psychosonic
In through a secret platter
Inside the psychosonic
Psychedelic other matter
Felt the strangest
Felt the stangest by 2

What she even really was to him
It made him brighter
What she was I could not really say
But it made him lighter
And now I know what he'll find
He was thinking 'bout her
All the time
He might be wrong
And she would not know
Coz he'd never let it go
And the Gods do not see
All this love in his eyes
So they won't grant his dream
Though they're holy and wise
And it makes him think he's crazy
Out of his mind
Coz she's always gonna stay
On the borderline
What she was I could not really say
But it made him lighter
What she even really was to him
It made him brighter
And now I know what he'll find
In a heart that's filled with mines
He might be wrong
And she would not know
Coz he'd never ever let it go
And the Gods do not see
All this love in his eyes
So they won't grant his dream
Though they're holy and wise
And it makes him think he's crazy
Out of his mind
Coz she's always gonna stay

Casey cried
Maggie screamed
And they both heaved a sigh
And their faces they cleaned
But then hands were a threat
A kiss was enough
Maggie had tired
And Casey would ask, and
Chorus:
Maggie said
I love ya dearly
But my life is a mess
And I just can't think clearly
So give me my time
To sort myself out
And I'll give you an answer
And leave it in no doubt
But that was not good enough
For the lovestruck Casey
Cause he worshipped her mind
And her looks drove him crazy
So he pressed and he pushed
And he wore her down
And before he knew it
She was sleepin' around, but still
Chorus
And then the, the shouting started
And the tears would flow
How could she treat him so bad
He didn't know
In equating the two
Was he behind
If he was loving her body
And still loving her mind, and yet
Chorus
And slowly, but slowly
She turned him around
Peace within himself
And forgiveness he found
And he saw not to push
And he saw not to smother
And in return for his change
They had only each other
And Maggie said
I love you dearly
And my life's getting better
I can think more clearly
So I can give you my time
And give you my heart
And much more respect
In a brand new start
Oh yeah, Maggie said, mm

I could move the sky above you
Drifting in the sun
You could spread your words upon me
Like we've just begun
But every time I try to touch you
You burn my mind instead
You only move so I can't reach you
You act as if I'm dead
Chorus:
But Mary it's not fun
We're killing things we've done
Reach out for me now
And then you'll find
You blow my mind
You live inside
And then you'll find
You blow my mind
You live inside
Well I can see the things you
Do they make me sad
And I don't know which way to
Take the fears I have
I'll turn around as if to make up some command
And all the time I wonder why
I can't relax
But it doesn't shine,
It doesn't climb,
It doesn't rise
The words we say, wont go away,
They never hide
But I could move the sky above you
Drifting in the sun
And you could spread you words upon me
Like we've just begun

Waiting for the crack-ups to appear
Standing, crying, shaking, dying

And I feel your love grow hideous as I crawl
There's a part of my medicine on its way

City town and blue
Sitting over you

Making sure you stay straight
But now I think
I'm moving past the bends
And now I think I'm proving my own ends

Come and see what is going round
I'd offer you a taste
But you'd just wait
You'd just wait
You'd blame it on your mother
She made you small
You'd lay it on the lover
Who made you crawl
This is the truth of you
Stand there and you don't approve
This is the proof of you
Fading out the way
Make love like a warrior
Make love like a foreigner
Make love coz you don't know her
Fading out the way
Making sure you stay straight

I wandered 'round searching hard on the ground
Digging through all of my roots
I came to the sea and it looked back at me
And offered me some of it's fruits
Chorus:
I bought a river of gold
And I drank 'till I drained it of juice
Then I laid down on the ground
And slept the whole day through
When I awoke I shot up with a bolt
And wondered what next to do
The choice in my brain was quite simple and plain
Should I stay or should I move
Chorus
Break:
When I close my eyes
My head starts to rise
My worries disappear
But things become unclear
When I opened my eyes there was mud in the sky
Raining down into my boots
But why wash it with deeds when
I've still got the sea
To offer me some of it's fruits

Graham Miss-Boy Donahue
I thought we were cutting loose
Reminds me of an atmosphere
I don't know why
Lipstick now and full of glue
Tell the boy he's such bad news
My minds made up, my taste appears
To take me away from here
How am I supposed to feel
When the orchestra around ain't real
When the only thing that gets me higher
Is the pie-a in the sky
Chorus:
Keep that little safe boy in the ground
He's gonna get you when you're down
And on the banks the savers wink or walk
They're gonna get you when you talk
Playing with my heart again
I thought we were such good friends
My minds made up
My day-glow fears
Take me away from here
How am I suppose to feel
When the orchestra around ain't real
When the only thing that gets me higher
Is the pie-a in the sky
Chorus

Take me up to the sun
Make me feel like we've just begun
In at the outside of the clouds
In a space that no one knows
Take me out by your side
Let it all just override
In at the outside of your hair
And there's no one knows we're there
Chorus:
Secret sleepers, don't believe 'em
You can hold your head up high
Secret sleepers, don't believe 'em
You can hold your head up high
Take me up to the moon
Cause I know we'll get there soon
In all the spaces of our mind
That we might not never find
I'm so cold, you decide
I am yours to override
In at the outside of my hair
Cause there's no one living there
Chorus
I didn't want to falter
Every day it seems to alter
I've got myself a bad time
Closed off and feelin' uptight
I had a smile on Sunday
A lost boy confused on Monday
And here I am now down on Tuesday
Feelin' like its a very blue day
We're secret sleepers
But don't believe 'em
You can hold your head up high
We're secret sleepers...

You can show the way, baby
Pull the plug away
Let the others play
They can't lose
They got nothing to prove
So put on your shoes
And get them to move
You can let it rain, crazy
Lock the stars away
You can meditate
You can prove
It means nothing to you
So put on your shoes
And get them to move
Coz I got a feeling
That you're almost through
The days approaching
And you're turning loose
My hands are shakin'
But I don't know why
If we ever try
We can make it by
You can show the way baby (repeat and fade)

Winding my way round South Carolina
I refuse to go
Living my dreams down sweet city winders
I refuse to know
Can you please please tell me
Where I'm going
Can you please please tell me
Where I'm going
Coz I've been sick
And I've been getting weaker
I've been and died
It changed my life
It takes me far away
Another road
Maybe it be easier
A little down, a little down
If I only know the way
But seeing as I sleep here
Please please remind her
That I refuse to go
Saving my words for Southern Carolina
I refuse to know
So can you please please tell me
Where I'm going
Can you please please tell me
Where I'm going
Where where I'm going, yeah

Stand around, stand around
Let me be the bean
Stand around, stand around
I know, I feel
This might not be a dream to me
When I get home and watch you bleed
The scars come down and grab my clothes
That life should be so low
Stand around, stand around
Tell me what you see
A kind of frowns that stand around
Gets low, get real
This might not be a dream to me
When I get home I'll watch you bleed
The scars come down and grab my clothes
That life should be so cold
Cos everyday I get so fed up
And I'm bruising up with my plans
And I don't wanna make a false engagements
With the man from the Promised Land
This might not be a dream to me
When I get home I'll watch you bleed
The scars come down and grab my clothes
You are the same, the one who's in you brain
Is only fooling don't you know
Stand around, stand around for me

Im saving up the things that I need
To get myself a place by the sea
I think I'll build a box in the sand
To take away the green off my hands
Stop beating the beat
Jimmy or me
Stop beating the beat
Jimmy or me
I've found myself a hole in my toe
And there's no other hole I can go
I'll take away my stash for all year
From the outside of the otherside
I'll get mine on the otherside
Stop beating the beat
Jimmy or me
Stop beating the beat
Jimmy or me
Does she tango
This cosmic mango
Stop beating the beat
Jimmy or me
Stop beating the beat
Jimmy or me
Does she tango
This cosmic mango
Does she tango
This cosmic mango
Stop beating the beat
Jimmy or me (repeat and fade)

In amongst my head I saw
A picture of the place
Where no-one had to worry 'bout
The time we had to waste
I been around the world enough to
To make me cry
Fleeting glimpse detains me in my
My hour of pride
I look around my head and I get
All confused today
The people that I'm meeting don't
Seem to know their way
You stop you look around and then you
You realize
For every single fuck up
There's an alibi
Stop the world right now
I want to leave
Stop the world right now
I want to leave
Stop the world right now
I want to leave
I'm seeing many pictures but I
Don't quite know the score
With very single greeting there is
Always room for more
You stop you turn around and you
You remonstrate
But every single word you say gets
Lost in space
Stop the world right now
I want to leave
Stop the world right now
I want to leave
Stop the world right now
I want to leave
Stop the world right now
I want to leave
Stop the world right now
I want to leave
Stop the world right now
Stop the world right now
Stop the world right now
I want to leave
Stop the world right now
Stop the world right now
Stop the world right now
I want to leave

When every mask we grace
Has taken pride of place
We'll be so far from town
we might as well just drown
The singer says don't fight
That love will see us right
But shit sticks like a crown
That wears the suckers down
Chorus:
I dunno why I wanna be
Strange company, no room for me
And does my inspiration bleed
Frayed memories trade back to me
A token smile that doesn't see
The broken path that's gonna lead
To strange company no room for me
And in a while I'm gonna leave
When are we so tight
That even if we fight
You can't simply assume
That we'll always be in tune
The vision lights the burning sign
Strange company, no room for me
And am I jealous do I hide
Frayed memories you trade back to me
The sunken eye that never reads
The broken part of you that bleeds
Strange company no room for me
And in a while I'm gonna leave
Strange strange company
No room for me
Strange company
It's no good to me
Strange strange company
No room for me
And in awhile I'm gonna leave
back to top
Sweet and low
Got a little shadow in my pocket I
I can't let go
And full loving ain't gonna stop
I don't have the bones to get with you
Hanging round
Sweeping up like the little fagins
Of London town
Sniffing round for the big occasion
I don't have the bones to get with you
Well it's not just the way you act
That keeps you in it
It's a matter of trust
That leaves you battered and blue
It's a cold reflection
Of a cold engagement
And the underhand ways
Of the things you can do
Repeat verse 1 and chorus

The leading lady says
She's crazy by the pool
And she can walk
And she can talk so she is cool
We know it's true
so why don't you
Chorus:
Take a break, a little break
Let me show you how to wait
A little break a little shake
Let it love and let it ache
Take a break, a little break
Let it love and let it wait
You know what you're s'posed to do
When it's getting right close to you
Arcane procedures
By the geezers in the room
Magic mushrooms and bad productions
And pay per view
We know it's true, so why don't you
Chorus
The closer you get into your life
Into your life
back to top
What you're feeling this minute
Well I can't say I rightly know
Whether fed up or sleepy
Angry confused let it show
Thinking of me or something else
I haven't a clue
Am I vain in hoping it might be me
Tell me if its true
But I've got a message and
I've got to get it through
And I don't want you to feel sad or hurt
If that's how you do
And I don't wanna rip
Through your sensitive outer shell
But I think I'm already too late today
So I just wanna tell you
We seem to be snapping and fighting
And we're letting it get out of control
And even if we never get on again
There is something that I want you to know
Chorus:
I love you. That's all
Yes I love you baby, thats all
So take my jests and discard them
As I do yours
Forget my words
They're not worth retaining
On my accord
Forgive me for my lack of tact
If that's what I'm guilty of
But just try not to be so sensitive
When not demanded of
Cause we don't want to be snapping and fighting
If we're letting it get out of control
And even if we never get on again
There's something that I want you to know
Chorus
back to top
The waves are breaking up between us
And still you're flowing through my hair
How many times, the ages defy me
Go nowhere
This is a time that I am changing
This is a story as it dies
Too many nights, unable to fight,
Have cut me dry
I know this place
It sucks my face
Chorus:
But there are thieves in the fanclub
And it's not right if you take my life
Well I saw you're on fire
But baby it's not fair
If you take me there
This is a place that shows the way from
This is a calming of my life
Is this the price of throwing
The dice on the other side
I know this place
It sucks my face
Chorus
I get so confused
When I look at you
When my mind is true
What will I do
I cannot be amused
When I feel so confused
When my mind is true
Oh what will I do

Chorus:
Wendy I believe you
So save me
'Cos I believe I believe you
And I feel like my mouth is getting dry
Like I'm filing in the holes
That used to help me to see the sky
And all around the tide is getting low
Am I losing all of my place to go
Chorus:
And the tongues are pointing
Their mouths at me
And I see their fingers wagging
All damn night and day
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
Unless I clear my head
And get on my thinking boots
Before it gets too hard to do
Chorus
And I feel like I'm
Reaching out for pain
As the only thing to help me to
Get on with it again
So don't insist on turning me around
And nailing down my feet to
Help me reach the ground
'Cos I have rhythms that can be disturbed
When I feel confronted by
A barrel full of words
When there's not the sight
In someone's head
So I have to freak out and find
My energy is dead
Leave me in peace
And if I bleed, then I bleed.
Chorus

I'm making love to all my dreams
It seldom comes it never gleams
And when its here I don't know
Why I loved it so
What I really do
Is it up to you to make me breathe
I'm making love with all my mind
But sometimes I get left behind
I'm wondering why it doesn't snow
Well now I think I know
I thought I loved it so
But I've been spending time
Just getting by
back to top
Wide together
Wide right through the night
Feeling better
Feel it all the time
Miss Anti-Crowd she will
Complain you know
The voices they all wreck her brain you know
The feeling only gets this low
The feeling only gets this low
The feeling only gets this low tonight
Wide together
Wider than my mum
Feeling better
Better now I'm done
A booky cow he will go rave you know
His little cloud it puffs in vain you know
The chances are he'll stay the
Same you know
The feeling only gets this low
The feeling only gets this low
The feeling only gets this low tonight
I didn't wanna know your name you know
I'm pulling out I'm pulling shame you know
I'm moving to another plane you know
The feeling only gets this low
The feeling only gets this low
The feeling only gets this low tonight

This time I'm mad
And I think I'm nearly through
Baby, she walks
And it tells me the news
I'm on my way
And I don't have any fears
If she was right
She can have all of my tears
Chorus:
But you see me and I see you
With the lights goin' down
On all the things
That you're puttin' me through
And I say no for the thousandth time
Lest you think I should care
Well, I really wouldn't waste my time
A change in his life
And I sure don't know the way
And your loves a squatter
It came in for a short stay
Livin' with you
It will never bring it near
So I rock on my own
For a hundred thousand years
Chorus
No, cause loves not really love
When it's givin that lightly
No, no loves not really love
When it's given that lightly
No, no loves not really love
When its given that lightly
