Lyrics

I don’t think that you know me,
half as well as you think that you do,
and you seem to think you can show me,
all of the doors that you think that I need to walk through

and time’s on my side now,
which is the difference speed or haste…

tell me where are the suits when you need ‘em,
they’re all just lining up backs to the wall,
as time dripfeeds us our freedom,
we search for a place with no name and no number at all

and time’s on my side now,
which is the difference speed or haste…

there’s a light and it never goes out,
it just hangs in your doorway,
and there’s a light & it never goes out,
and it just hangs in your doorway… in your doorway

Lyrics

fear comes in, stages always on the run,
live life in cages, in the shadow of the sun,
it’s just another remedy, to get you through the everyday,
well you were just about to say, “well isn’t it a lovely day”

all I wanna do is rest my bones,
feeling’s gone I think I’ll go home

turning the pages, your life has just begun,
don't see no faces, just battles lost and won,
it’s just another remedy, to get you through the everyday,
well you were just about to say, “well isn’t it a lovely day”

all I wanna do is rest my bones,
feeling’s gone I think I’ll go home,
all I wanna do is rest my bones,
feeling’s gone I think I’ll go home…

Lyrics

she says that she feels like she is stuck under september, and she never saw july,
surrounded by starts but not one could she cling to,
she tries but can’t see through, see through the dawn

now the needle’s been hung in the night sky,
and it’s piercing the moon and it’s bleeding her dry,
and she cries though her veins for the lover who’s gone,
she says, “ a pocket full of darkness in a room full of light,
it don’t work like a candle it just fizzles & dies,
you know that he worked the days and I did the nights,
and I couldn’t get used to him burning so bright”

there’s only one problem that comes with the daylight,
it always seems to bright, too bright for me,
she turned to the spoon the time she heard him say,
“why don’t you go your way, and I’ll go home”

now every word that she says it seems so well rehearsed,
and as she speaks you can see where her heart has been hurt,
but it still beats all the same while she’s holding her pose,
and she carries it round like an old sack of coal,
just hoping one day it will turn into gold,
now she’s cast back into shadow, she’s an old crescent moon,
and she’s bitten by everything taken too soon,
she says “I try to live in darkness ‘cos I’m afraid of the light,
but every morning brings a flood i get a terrible fright,
he was as strange as an angel and bold as the sea,
and the light that he spreads it reflected on me…”

Lyrics

first you will destroy all that’s gone before,
by looking under every stone and behind every door,
until you realize you’ve got to listen to the moon,
till you realize that we’ve been dancing to a different tune

come now, go, go find your door,
something’s moving, can’t see the surface anymore,
now it’s gone, without a trace,
and you’re back here burning bridges with that look upon your face

and show me what you’ve seen,
I need to know ‘cos I’ve been locked inside this submarine,
and go to where you’ve been…
now you’ve found something to sink yourself into,
there’ll be a soldier waiting for the chance to run you through,
and if you’re still not satisfied that your war has been won,
then I’ll take him off and send him back with his trigger finger gone

come now, go, go find your door,
i know you're screaming, but i can't hear you anymore,
now it’s gone, without a trace,
and you’re back here burning bridges with that look upon your face

and show me what you’ve seen,
I need to know ‘cos I’ve been locked inside this submarine,
and go to where you’ve been…

and show me what you’ve seen,
I need to know ‘cos I’ve been locked inside this submarine,
and go to where you’ve been,
and leave me here behind you, locked inside this submarine,
inside this submarine… this submarine…

Lyrics

when I was stuck outside at midnight,
well it seems you were my searchlight,
my paddle to the shore, you're my paddle to the shore

when I was haunted by the thunder,
the thunder and the rain,
you’re my shelter from the storm, you’re my shelter from the storm

true love lies, not in movie skies,
not in endless highs,
true love lies, behind angels eyes,
behind angels eyes…
and if there was darkness overhead,
I know there’ll be light tomorrow, tomorrow

true love lies, behind angels eyes…

Lyrics

it’s the silent thunder, and it sends you on your way down,
sorta' drags you under, and it says you oughta lay down

tell me who do you think you are?
you think you can see so far until you breakdown,
tell me who do you think you are?
you think you can see so far until you breakdown

they’re playing follow the leader,
don’t listen to those lies,
they’re playing follow the leader,
they’re demons in disguise, don’t look into those eyes…

it’s the final quarter, and it leaves you lying face down,
and it tastes like water, just make sure that you don’t look down

they’re playing follow the leader,
don’t listen to those lies, they’re playing follow the leader,
they’re demons in disguise,
they’re playing follow the leader…
they’re playing follow the leader
don’t look into those eyes, they’re demons in disguise…

Lyrics

can you feel things are coming unstuck,
there’s a hole in the sky where you need to look up,
so turn around and stop causing a fuss,
‘cos on a hill there’s a fire and I’m sure that they think that it’s us…

scratch the surface you’ll find that something has left you behind,
scratch up your insides to shield you and numb you and hide,
from that all too familiar feeling that everything comes attached to a ticking clock,
now you can’t think, you can’t move, you can’t breathe or speak or stop,
and it just serves to remind you of that broken routine,
and it grinds into you and through you and makes you feel like a useless machine,
so you either chew it up & spit it out or you’re gonna have to swallow it whole,
‘cos we may look like we’re moving but man we’re just drowning in soul…

tell me can you feel things are coming unstuck,
there’s a hole in the sky where you need to look up,
so turn around and stop causing a fuss,
‘cos on a hill there’s a fire and I’m sure that they think that it’s us…
‘cos when you’re looked in the eye you know you can’t help but feel,
that all these waters that surround you seem to be closing in still
‘cos when something hopeful’s around you,
you know you can’t remember your own name,
‘cos out of nowhere comes this nagging feeling that there’re these gaping holes in your face,
so now you’re just left there in the corner pleading to be taken away,
‘cos however hard you try all you can think of is no-one and nothing to say,
so now you’re desperately searching to find something that feels fresh for your eyes,
and I know that my mouth might be moving but this is just my clever disguise,

so, now you end up where you started, locked up in a room trying to breathe,
with the ticking clock in your ear you ask the jokers and jugglers to leave,
with a smile on their face they get up, turn around and walk out through your door,
and before you know where you are or what has hit you once again your face is stuck to the floor,
so pick yourself up dust yourself off and try not to look down,
and be thankful that when you catch your reflection you see neither juggler nor clown,
‘cos it’s only movement that can keep us all from the valleys of vultures & crows,
but don’t stay still too long now ‘cos if you do rot will set in as it grows…

Lyrics

empty morning, mind is racing,
just an outline, of who I was last night,
you’re my reason, my only real thing,
just a glimpse of something that feels so right

when I’m feeling down and out and the world seems so blue,
it’s your face that helps to see me through,
broken voices say “hello and how do you do”,
from up here the sun comes into view…

Lyrics

there's teabags in ashtrays and blood on the walls,
and it serves to remind you of the weight of the fall, of the fall… of the fall
you can't try to remember or try and forget,
these choices are made by the gods of regret, of regret… of regret

and in the end someone will turn to you and tell you this,
it's just your mind playing cruel tricks on you, unclench your fist

an uncomfortable suntan is what you deserve,
but all you get are straight edges when all you need is a curve, is a curve… is a curve
and all the king's horses and all the king's men,
will never put you back together again, 'cos you can't, 'cos you can't…

and in the end someone will turn to you and tell you this,
it's just your mind playing cruel tricks on you, unclench your fist,
but if you believe that the sunshine can last through the night,
then it can, so grab on to the midnight sun and hold on tight…

Lyrics

Oh, what do you know,
Since there's nothing above, there must be something below,
But no, no don't look down,
Coz through the stories of war, flow the tears of a clown

So take those pictures off the wall,
No-one will believe you till your world starts to fall down

And oh, what's this I see,
While you're thinking ˜bout you, I'm busy thinking ˜bout me,
And oh, what was that you said,
These ain't written for you, these are the songs for the dead

Still you're sitting there requesting for the right to cry,
Don't look to me to wipe those tears from your eye

So take those pictures off the wall,
They're pictures of a time that don't mean nothin' at all

And now you're at the wheel,
They've uncovered your lies, now tell me how does that feel?
And oh, what was that you said,
These ain't written for you, these are the songs for the dead

So take those pictures off the wall,
Your force fed icons words they don't mean nothin' at all,
And still you're sitting there protesting for the right to die,
Well button up, bite your lip and wipe those tears from your eye

Lyrics

did someone take their eyes off you?
did someone dig a hole?
did someone take their love from you?
is it too hard to let it go?

so dance and sing, until your ship comes in,
and hold on, and be another might have been…
until your ship comes in…

did someone pin their hopes on you?
did someone tie your arms?
did someone sing that song to you?
did it set off all your alarms?

so dance and sing until your ship comes in,
and hold on, and be another might have been…
until your ship comes in…
