I'm here
I'm someone to know
I'm calling the tune but
I'm losing the words
Laughingly I take the fevered applause
of the people by the riverside
I'm walking
Walking on water
God knows why
I'm losing the words
I am a man
Well nearly
Celebrate life
Be good to yourself
Don't wake me like that
I was dreaming and I'd rather carry on
Give me a love and hate
on both my hands
I'll show you what I'm made of
Wasting my breath when I say that
Don't wake me like that
I was dreaming and I'm tired of everyone
Here's hoping that you'll
Go now so long leave me alone
Give me a love and hate
on both my hands
I'll show you what I'm made of
Wasting my breath when I say that
Love, hate
A pair of hands
That's where I began
Just be good
Good to yourself
I feel fine
Don't wake me up yet
Cos I feel tired
Don't be like that
We don't need to work any more now
I vow that it's goodbye
I vow that it's goodbye and God bless
Why did we have to assume
We're exactly the same?
O no, talking about yourself
I vow that it's goodbye to the old ways
Those stories were a good read
They were dumb as well
I could never be seen
Falling down on my knees crawling
O no, talk about a sell
O as the heavens shudder baby
I belong to you
O they said you get what you deserve
And all they said was true
So is this what it's come to?
Am I cold or just a little bit warm?
O well
Just give me an easy life and a peaceful death
We're on the shore
Down by the sea
Here I go
Water under's cool
We're the life and soul
There by the sea
We're going to be
Here I go
It's all my sea
All my blue
And it rained down on me
And it seemed to get into me
It poured down over me
I'm wet through
But I still want more
Peace, love now what?
Don't go telling me you've had them
O delighted, we all know
We won't be alive any more and
By now you could say there's a problem
And it rained down on me
And it seemed to get into me
I'm soaked to my skin
I'm wet through
I really ought to be in
Will you let me have a sign?
And somebody ought to reply
We'll take anything at all
Understand me?
Fun times we have known
That's what we're like
We've just taken them all
And I still don't remember how I got home
Don't tell me where we're going
Now I know we won't be alive any more
And she's walking on the edge of a crowd
Late at night you can never tell
Town from town
Sounds of England swallow you down
Makes you want to laugh
Could a heaven on earth be ours here & now?
And she says "What's in my palm?
Read between the lines
Give me something to savour
Can you do that? Cos I'll believe anything"
And I say
When you're hoping for some more from your life
Shouldn't wonder you've had enough
And in my town
Sounds of England swallow you down
And a heaven on earth is all ours but not now
I tell you when a heaven on earth is all ours
Come on down
Because God made me
That's all they told me before
And how about you?
And it's off to work we go
Now you can forget about a labour of love
It just won't wash anymore
We'd love to be good but we'd rather be bad
But how was I supposed to know that?
Because God made me
That's all they told me before
And how about you?
Because God made people
That was the luck of the draw
We do what we want
God made me
That's what they told me before
Who knows what they'll say today?
Because God made me for his sins
Imagine my eyes when I first saw
We can do what we want
How could I know?
How could I know about it?
Love, just love yourself like no one else
Love, it's enough
They can say what they like but they still can't take that
Distance myself from the things I'd like but
Everyone has something I need
Don't let me wake up & find
All those others leaving me behind
If you don't have a clue about life
Then I'm happy to say
Neither have I although
I'm not going to shrug my shoulders & suck my thumb
This time
Cos there's something I deserve
Love, just love yourself like no one else
Love, it's enough
They can say what they like but they still can't take that
Picture my house in a postcard town
Picture a bomb in the sky
History at yout door
Who could ask for more?
I've felt better
So kill me with love
Just love yourself like no one else
Love, it's enough
They can say what they like but they still can't take that
Time's so scarce where I come from
Let them say what they like
Cos they still can't take your love
I need a night off just read my lips
Are you getting the message?
I'm sick as a dog
But I'll just say this
You're as sick as I am
So what do you think about me?
What do you think about me?
Everyone around me
Is driving me mad
So here I go
Along this road
Feeling I don't want to slow down
These days of obsession
I need a night off because life's too dear
Let me show you my photographs
See me work
See me rest
See me play
O I'm sure I had it better
Back then
So what do you think about me?
I couldn't live without me
But everything about me
Is driving me mad
So here I go
Along this road
Feeling I don't want to slow
Run so hard
I lose my breath
One thing I don't want to know now
These days of obsession
Delirious
And uncertain still
And will they always stay
Uncertain still?
Too few cares have I
As the world turns round
I was blind but
Now I'm still blind
I liked you for 24 hours
In your house
And when the time has come to live again
I shall
And I liked you for 24 hours
In your house
And now the time has come to live again
I shall
I liked you but that was before
Why me?
I never knew then
And I don't know now
O the things you do
All come back to you
That's why I hung back but I'll
Say what I like now
When people say it's sad
You know it can't be bad
And on any other day I'd be soul destroyed
But now I can't afford to listen to a word they say
And of all the times we had
Oh the ultimate late night
Didn't taste right
True words that I should know
Blood on my hands
When you looked around I couldn't be found
A crime's a crime, I'll have to pay
Now I find that I'm thigh deep
Too young for the worst of my mind
You whispered behind me
"If I may make so bold"
Call it young and wild
But I ran a mile in a minute and there's no going back
True words that I should know
Blood on my hands
When you looked around I couldn't be found
A crime's a crime, I'll have to pay
Ttrue words I said to myself
As the wind chilled my bones
"Home alone, you call that a late night?"
When people say you're dead
You know you caught their eye
And on any other day I'd be soul destroyed
But that's just not the way now
I don't mind telling you
Nothing is quite what it seems
True words that I should know
Must have been blood on my hands
When you look around I couldn't be found
A crime's a crime but I don't mind
True words that I should know well
But surely by now I could say to myself
"The days are getting longer so I better get stronger fast"
Surely by now?
Dig down to the earth here outside
Lose my mind here any day now
Don't be sad, we're only half way there
O no, that's what I call home
You remember the hills we slithered down
"I'm not going anywhere"
You lied
Hell on my own
Hell here on my own
And don't go imagining that time is medicine
Mark those days and swallow your pills
Proud of my wise head on young shoulders
Too bad there was nothing there at all
Hell on my own
Hell here on my own
And it was such a really cold hand
I held as the wind sighed
"I'm not going & how could I lie?"
Just be glad there's no way back there
I need another look at before
Though heaven knows how I'd ever
Make my way back there
And I need another look at before
Although heaven knows how I'd ever
Make my way back there
Though I know it's hopeless
And I realise it's nowhere
Hell here on my own
