You can fall I know
Over and over
Live a life below
Over and over and over
It's only the light of the morning
It may be bright to your eyes
I can talk I know
Over and over
Never let it go
Over and over and over
It's only alright if you say so
It may be alright if we die

The Boy With No Soul
04:04
|

|
Lying to yourself
So hard
Being someone else
So hard
I can't be beat but she broke my feet
So I couldn't get away
As if I'd try to get away
Come on it's alright
Come on Tonight
Living in this dream so far has always been extreme
When you are the boy with no soul
Craving control
Never giving love away
You couldn't feel it anyway
So far nothing comes close
To our days on the coast
In the summer time
But there's always time
No one ever listens anyway
No one ever hears a word I say
So much love in me to give away
And I feel it growing every day

Open Up Your Heart
05:34
|

|
When she opened up her heart she couldn't hide it
Took her to the start
Always falling apart
She can feel it calling
Silly little heart
Open up your heart
Cos it's now or never
Haven't got forever
Open up your heart
Try to see it my way
Try to embrace the grey
Open up your heart
As lonely as a cloud but without the wonder
Situation down
Stirring up her thoughts
And here comes the thunder
I go under ground
Open up your heart
Try to break my heart

The Morning Light
04:48

Maybe I could live a little better
Living here with you
Maybe I would sleep a little deeper
Lying next to you
But it's hard to live your life by the morning light
The morning light
Close your eyes
Feel the sunrise
Maybe I would feel a little older
Arm in arm with you
Maybe I would cry into your shoulder
If you wanted me to
We are poisoned lovers
Living under covers
We are poisoned lovers
Praying for our mothers
Without strength

Joab
02:50
|

|
There's summer rain dripping on my pane
I wish that we were outside
Instead of here lying in the fear
Waiting for the high tide
Joab
Crack a smile
It won't ruin your style
You can pretend you're dreaming
I'll only breathe when it's time to leave
If it will stop me screaming
When you want to talk about it I'm here

Xanadu
06:54
|
|||
|
Now you're looking for the sun
You find me I'm looking over here
Peel the pages of our time
And write a little secret in the spine
Xanadu
Piece together what we find
And dig into the corners of your mind
Sow the seams so they don't show
And wake up in a body that you know
Xanadu
(Now it's you and me
It's breezy love come here to me
I know you're calling it to be
And I don't know which way to be
When you're upside down and we're high on tea
And memory)
And I'm looking for you
And I can't find you
Xanadu
Once upon a time you never say
Traded on a dream that got away
Catch it when you can it's always there for you
Wrinkles in your hand your life drawn out for two
What you wanna do you never play
When you wanna eat you never say
Lazy afternoons and sandy toes can be
Everything you need when you believe
Shadows on the floor of you and me
Taken for a ride a summer breeze
Stepping over cracks and wishing wells to be
Weeping in the wind with willow trees
Talking down the lens across the sea
woven through the world of make believe
Lazy afternoons and sandy toes can be
Everything you need when you believe

Living Without Me
05:22
|
|||
|
I no longer know you though I long to be free
People try to tell me take it easy just be
Evil comes upon me makes it easy not to see
Blinding is the lightning when I'm washed out to sea
And you don't come around anymore to see
Still living within living without me
I sit always thunder
It's a sorry sight to see
Always going under as I sift through the debris
Gone

She Floats
04:44
|
|||
|
I don't feel so well
Feel my brain is boiling
I know this oh so well
But I keep on toiling now
Under a moonlit sky
I used to know you well
Then you sent me under
Fallen back to hell
Got a taste for thunder now
Under a moonlit sky
She don't walk she floats (she's not like any other lover)
And I'm hungry and I'm thirsty and I'd lay down
For her love
Never knew my name
Never knew my station
You turned out just the same
improve my situation now
Under a moonlit sky
She don't walk she floats (she's not like any other lover)
And I'm filthy and I'm dirty and I'm hurting and I'm burning
I would lay down and I'd stay down
For her love

Louie And Julie
05:24
|

Louie's at the bar and he's carrying his guitar and he dies a bit when she looks at it
Julie's in her work jeans and although she doesn't want to be seen here he is she'll get over it
Doesn't matter where you are from
We all have a different song
And mine goes on and on
Sally shows her bra cos she knows he won't be far
In fact here he is tripping over his tongue
Is in her mouth as his mum shuffles about as she wakes him up Sally gets him up
People wake up
Rise and shine
People wake up
We've all lost our minds
Louie's on the wall and he's giving her a call when she picks it up his jaw freezes up
Julie does a speech she's been practicing for weeks but she messes up
Doesn't go far enough
Doesn't matter how long ago
Everybody must let it go
Don't make it a TV show
Louie's on the phone again
Julie's on her own again
Now he's on her mind again
Giving her a call again
People wake up
Rise and shine
People wake up
We've all lost our minds
We're all doing time

This Time
05:26

I could move onto the moon this time
Take a picture leaving soon it's time
Cos I'm open to the lie this time
Gonna force my soul to die this time
Oh it'll be alright
All is fine
I could leave it up to chance this time
Like an Anderson romance and wine
But I'm living on the line all of the time
Gonna leave them all behind this time
But I really have to go this time
And I really have to go and go
And go
So I sit upon the moon and time
Never knowing what to do with time
