Kingdom of Rust

Doves Kingdom of Rust Lyrics
1.Jetstream

Tall machines wait in line
So still lost in time
Jets turn and make no sound
Returning to the solid ground
People drift out of time
Watching numbers turn
Seems that i've been waiting here forever

Jetstream stormy seas
Cast adrift on a troubled dream
I've seen the sleeping ships at night
I will meet you there
The roar of the engine in the air
(jetstream)

Leave the things you don't need
And the ones that you don't love
Faith and hope keeps our minds together
Your heart's left the ground tonight
Scattered lost in light
Seems that i've been waiting here forever

Jetstream carbon seas
Cast adrift on a troubled dream
I've seen the silent jets at night
I will meet you there
The roar of the engine high in the air
(jetstream)

Sleeping ships in the night
Shining steel lost in time
Jets turn make no sound
Returning to the safer ground
People running outta time
Lost in love last in line
Seems i've waited here forever

Jetstream stormy seas
Cast adrift on a troubled dream
I see the silent jets at night
I will take you there
The roar of the engine pollutes the air

Jetstream jetstream jetstream


2.Kingdom of Rust

I hear a sound, a sound above my head
Distant sound of thunder, moving out on the moor

Blackbirds flew in and to the cooling towers
I'll pack my bags
Thinking of one of those hours
With you, waiting for you

My God, it takes an ocean of trust
In the Kingdom of Rust

I long to feel some beauty in my heart
As I go searching, right to the start
Hmmm
Was jutted out in snow
As I went looking for that stolen heart
For you, waiting for you

My God, it takes an ocean of trust
Takes an effort it does
My god, it takes an ocean of trust
It's in the Kingdom of Rust

Oooow in the Kingdom of Rust

I long to feel that wince in my heart
As I went looking
I couldn't stop
Now I'm waiting for you

Ooohh .............
I know it takes an ocean of trust
In the Kingdom of Rust


3.The Outsiders

Johnny be lost
Johnny be calm
Walk away
Don't jump the gun

Cutting the cost
Thinking it through
Look in your own way
Making your own rules

Don't believe
What they say
Johnny be cool, yeah
Johnny be calm

Just the two of us
Makin' fools of us
Just the two of us
Wanna feel again
Kickin' our heels again
Just the two of us

Nothing to lose
So nothing gets lost
Measure the truth
Then measure the cost

So much choice
In trust on
In the universe
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Making fools of us
Making fools of us
Wanna feel again
Kickin' our heels again
The two of us


4.Winter Hill

Where ever you go
you will be with me
and when you do talk
you will be talking to me
but just save our words
as we walk on by
with the sky full of birds
and the dusk approaching

climb the long grassy track
to the top of winter hill
climb the real rocky track to the top
i'll see you back
i'll see you back on winter hill

wherever you go
you will return safe
and when you will walk
you'll be walking with me
but if comes the day
you meet someone new
you will be with them
but i'll be thinking of you

climb the long grassy track
to the top of winter hill
stay with me see so far at the top
i'll see you back
i'll see you back on winter hill

well she travels far
so we stayed apart
but she crossed her heart on winter hill

climb the long grassy track
to the top of winter hill
climb the long grassy track
to the top of winter hill


5.10.03

10:03 on a fast train
a trick of light crossing my eye, a skyward plane
calling out your name...
calling out your name...

like the last
of those fires
you shall burn into the night
like a moth to the flame - i will turn back again
oh, I'm comin' home
calling out your name
all I've ever known

distant call, down the wire
distant train, on the line
I'll return
to your side
with the push and pull of the tide - it's all I've ever known
calling out your name
lord, I'm comin' home


6.The Greatest Denier

The english skyline falls down to the future.
But no one noticed in this empire.
'cause i'm the greatest denier and i will cut you if you look.

The english bloodline clashes in the sun.
No one noticed that we are going down. i frowned.

Well i'm the greatest denier i can cut you with a look.

Clashes in the sun.
Don't speak of it.

I'm the greatest denier.
i was the greatest denier and i can cut you with a look.

Clashing in the sun.
Start a revolution.


7.Birds Flew Backwards

the car zoomed past, i watched the passersby
birds flew backwards
yet still arrived
winter seemed to linger
but now the swallows have arrived
won't be long, 'til summertime

walked through woods, to the power lines
saw birds fly backwards in perfect line
oh, winter seemed to melt now
now the swallows have arrived
can't be long, 'til summertime, summertime


8.Spellbound

Those eyes they transmit
All your loving
Echos light into dark hearts
I would swear i've seen this left beside me
Your eyes they hypnotize

She keeps me here so spellbound
Her love pulls me near to stranger ground
I've lost my mind there
This dark magic mirror spellbound

A heart-shaped face
With words as cold as stone
I can't believe this is my fate

She raised your head
Now the night it's coming down
I accept this fate i accept my love you won't be long
You keep me here so spellbound
Your love pulls me near to sacred ground
I lost my mind there
This dark magic mirror spellbound

And i can't leave now
Leave her now (x2)

She keeps me near so spellbound
Her love pulls me near to stranger ground
I lost my mind there
This dark magic mirror spellbound (x2)
So spellbound (x3)


9.Compulsion


10.House of Mirrors

faces in the hallway
cracks up in the ceiling
shadows coming my way
and your house is full of mirrors
echoes in the alleyway
a-footsteps in the hall
and this house if full of mirrors
and your house is full of mirrors
and it's time for you to come and stay
now, it's time for you to find a way
and it's time for you to come and stay
in the house of mirrors

echoes in the alleyway
a-footsteps on the floor
i never thought I'd see the day
but this house if full of memories
is there anybody out there?
i saw it comin' my way
but this house is full of mirrors
in this house of many mirrors
and it's time for you to come and stay
now, it's time for you to find a way
oh and every room and every hall
I've seen your face
and it's time for you to come and stay
in the house of mirrors

(...everyone I know has seen us)

yeah, faces in the hallway
(faces in the hallway)
shadow on the ceiling
(shadow on the ceiling)
this chill is comin' my way
(this chill is comin' my way)
and this house if full of memories
oh, echoes in the alleyway
(echoes in the alleyway)
a-footsteps in the hall
now, love is comin' my way
(now, love is comin' my way)
in this house of many mirrors
oh, in every room, in every hall
I've seen your face
now, it's time for you to come and stay

in the house of mirrors


11.Lifelines

Well, I - feels like a place I've never been
And, I - feels like a place I've never seen

Oh, somebody's givin' in but I'm not
Somebody's giving it but I'm not
Somebody's giving it a lifetime
Somebody threw you a lifeline

Somebody wakes to the sun in the sky
Others are livin' with hate in their eyes

Oh, the fires that you made and the earth that you walk
The ground beneath and the words that you talk
The fires that we own and the words that we talk
The ground beneath and the earth that we walk
All gone...

And yeah ... there are pictures of the sun

And yeah ... just like sketches of the sun
The color's run

Somebody's givin' in but I'm not
Somebody's giving up a whole lot
Somebody's giving it a long time
Somebody threw me a lifeline
Sometimes it's hard to see things straight
Trying to make sense of a single page
Sometimes you seem to spend your life tryin'
But I'm just looking for my lifeline
The fires that you made and the earth that you walk
The soil beneath and the words that you talk
The fires that we own and the words that we talk
The ground beneath and the earth that we walk
The earth that we walk ... gone
All ... gone

Our - it feels like a place I've never been
