bright lights in the city
carry me back down
oh its oh so pretty
I cant live here now
oh my god were out here
talking up the town
caught out in the rapture
fakers wear the crown
hey!
lets go and burn it all down
highlight of the weekend
was when you came around
breaking up the pity
tearing up the ground
we go picking berries
down the lane, out town
red stains on the blankets
dripping off your crown
hey!
lets go and burn it all down
and start again

i need you
02:14

yesterday! oh my god
how can it be so hard?
you were on your guard
waiting for me
sympathy with my tea
no-one believes in me
you always creep
out to be free
watch what you say
(I quit)
watch what you say
(this shit)
you can turn 'round and walk away
it's simpler if you stop and stay
feeling profound so i will say
I need you!

wake up son!

no clue what they wanted
but knew what was going on
the sky above was painted black
couldn't find the sun
but i could smell the vapours
and the poison of the act
called out to the neighbours
but they're never calling back
(woo)
thought that you were leaving
then you turn and re-attack
something in the water
must have made you react
wish i knew your point of view
but you just point and laugh at me
it aint hard to feel alone
when your mother won't come home
and your father's on the phone
screaming
"wake up son! wake up son!"
that was all a month ago
and now it's all boiled down
you were up in buffalo
i was in denial
trying to stay focussed
listening to the locust
truly i was broken
and I had been
for a while
it aint hard to come back home
when your brothers break your bones
and your father's on the phone
it aint hard to feel alone
when you mother won't come home
and your fathers on the phone
screaming
"wake up son! wake up son!"

she doesn't even know
where she's gonna go
sitting up front in her Cherokee
set of keys trembling
turn the ignition and she leaves
she doesn't even care
what she's leaving there
in the dust of her tire turns
her last cigarette burns
next to a letter with the words:
"you'll not find another
quite like me
go, every hour and search the streets
you're just a coward
in my lovings heat
you'll not find another
quite like me"
I will never forget
when we first met
redding her lips in her little mirror
I just wanna kiss her here
down by the river flowing wild
was it every gonna last?
now it's in the past
all this time got me figuring
I just never let love in
I keep on circling her words
she said:
"you'll not find another love
quite like this
do you remember our first kiss?
down by the river
in late summer mist
you'll not find another love
quite like this
you'll not find another
quite like me
go, every hour and search the streets
you're just a coward
in my lovings heat
you'll not find another
quite like me"

bask in glory
03:47
|
|||
you make me levitate
hesitate
you say "dont wait, kiss me"
and i'll take my chance
i try to contemplate
why it's great
but you say
"we'll neve understand"
you make me carry weight
take the bait
babe dont say
i aint in your plans
you push me away
but i'll stay
just give me
another chance
i close my eyes
this isn't all our story
we never bask in glory
i'll climb to the hundredth storey
and scream out
"it's all because of you"
i try to compensate
for my haste
i'm always late
but you say
"i'll never understand"
i try and hesitate
but as we know
i'm not that great
at being a better man
you roll your eyes
this isn't all our story
we never bask in glory
i'll climb to the hundredth storey
and scream out
"it's all because of you"

do you feel the same as me?
do your lights turn red and green?
lets push our love out to the sea
oh do you feel the same?
do you feel the wind blow through?
do you know you are the glue?
that mends my cracks and makes me new
oh do you feel the same?
often i've wondered
what it is to love
often you've offered
your hand and softly say
do you feel the same as me?
do your colours turn blue and grey?
the love you give makes me say
oh do you feel the same?

i wanna be something
04:33
|
|||
i wanna be something
and you say that your nothing
I say you're definitely not nothing
you say, I'm definitely something
hold on for whatever's coming
these days gotta mean something
climb up, up to the ceiling
look down on totally nothing
is it hope that keep us going
or is it all the lies?
i can feel the feeling growing
i can see it in your eyes
and you, dont care about nothing
and i care about all things
it's true, we gotta have something
to carry us through whatever is coming
are their dreams that keep us going
or is it all their lies?
i can feel the feeling growing
i can see it in your eyes

the taming of the heron
03:20
|
|||
there's no way of knowing
if it's all around the town
the way this wind is blowing
disguise the sound
we are all for showing
the claiming of the ground
the taming of the heron
disguise the sounds
as my heart melts into brown
and my head spins round and round
I'm never coming down
we're always finding trouble
we never seem to miss
surrounded by the rubble
and excruciating hiss
disguise the lethal hits
and the devastating tryst
of lovers gone to kiss

colour in the pages
04:05
|
|||
i used to colour in the pages
but now they're left black and white for ages
dont melt my heart
into a pulp
i misspelt your name
i need some help
to bring me back round
i'll pin you to the ground
so you dont fly away
you always pick up the pieces
and put them all back in the right places
dont break my heart
in two by two
i knew from the start
that i'm for you
and you are for me
i want you to see
you dont need to fly away
anymore
(you dont need to fly away)

beacon of light
devour the night
until it shines
our shadows will die
both of our eyes
hold such might
are you ready
to fight?
i will try
to be your alibi
and when your wings get light
i'll carry you home
over the river
under the sheets
i need to tell you
do you believe?
be the light
break through the night
guide me, bright
back home
take flight
all through the night
and when your wings get light
i'll carry you home

all of the days and all of the nights
break me down, break me down
right?
i can hear it coming!
all the disease, all of the blight
cancels out, cancels out light
i can feel it forming!
and when we find out how to survive
we will all, we will all die
i can see it coming!
johnny was an ocean child
look at him dive, oh look at him dive
swimming deep below the tide
trying to find somewhere to hide
catch him in a fishing net
keep him as your little pet
take a look, you can bet
he’s as cute as cute can get!
and when the days turn into nights
we will all we will all sigh
let them entertain us!
all of the dreams and all of the lies
make us all make us all, cry
please don’t let it change us!
time begins to move real slow
johnny starts to feel real low
trying to find a way to go
but there’s no one who can show
how he can escape your net
or how to stop being a pet
take a look, I can bet
he’s as dead as dead can get!
