Stars The Bedroom Demos Lyrics
1.The Night Starts Here

The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name,
forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name,
forget your fear

The pleasure part, the afterthought, the missing stone in the
graveyard
The time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to become
a man
The dust at dawn is rained upon, attaches itself to everyone
No one is spared, no one is clean
It travels places you've never been or seen before

The night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
You drop a coin into the sea, and shout out 'Please come back to
me'
You name your child after your fear, and tell them 'I have
brought you here'

The scary part, the aftershock, the moment it takes to fall
apart
The time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to destroy
a man
The ecstasy, the being free, the big black cloud over you and me
And after that, the upwards fall, and were we angels after all?
I don't know, I don't know...

The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name,
forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name,
forget your fear
You drop a coin into the sea, and shout out 'Please come back to
me'
You name your child after your fear, and tell them 'I have
brought you here'

The night starts here...


2.Take Me To The Riot

Grey skies and light fading
Headlamps making patterns on the wall
Uptown, it's dead now, but
Out here no one seems to care at all

Sick girls and sick boys and
Each one lining up to take him home
They hold tight, their coin and
They pray no one has to see them fall

I'm there, yeah, I serve them
The one with the empty looking eyes
Come closer, you'll see me
The face that is used to telling lies

Saturday nights in neon light
Sunday in the cell
Pills enough to make me feel ill
Cash enough to make me well

Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me

You sprung me, I'm grateful
I love when you tell me not to speak
I owe you, but I know you
You'll have me back but it's gonna take a week

What now, kid? Which way, love?
Will we ever make up and be friends?
Good news is my shoes is
Lined with all my nickels and my tens

Let's do that, just feed me
I hate when I have to get to sleep
You despise me and I love you
It's not much but it's just enough to keep

Saturday nights in neon light
Sunday in the cell
Pills enough to make me feel ill
Cash enough to make me well

Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot

And let me stay
And let me stay
Let me stay, let me
Let me stay


3.My Favourite Book(Flack)

I was always late, you never afraid
That we could be falling
All our friends would say that maybe we should wait
But they can't see what's coming

And to this day when everything breaks
You are the anchor that holds me

And that is why we'll always make it
How I know your face, all the ways you move
You come in, I can read you, you're my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone to make me come alive

When the days are long and the thunder with the storm
Can always get me crying
Well you can make my bed, I'll fall into it
Shadowed but not lonely

'Cause I never knew home until I found your hands
And when I'm weathered, you come to me, you're my best friend


And that is why we'll always make it
How I know your face, all the ways you move
You come in, I can read you, you're my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew, there was someone to make me come alive

And when we're making love
I give everything up for your touch

How I know your face, all the ways you move
You come in, I can read you, you're my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew, there was someone to make me come alive

And when you go to work, all the day I wait
For you to come home, make it our time in our little place
Our little place, our little place
Our little place, our little place, our little place


4.Midnight Coward


5.The Ghost Of Genova Heights

He hoped to be remembered as the one
Who told his men to turn back and go where we'd begun
Roses are the flower he would prefer
Scatter all his ashes on the pier

Genova Heights, Genova Heights
Are hard to leave, are hard to leave
The bedroom lights of Genova Heights
Are hard to leave, are hard to leave

You didn't know that you thought was good
And now you're back in the neighborhood
I see you and I never should
Now you're back in the neighborhood

You, you didn't know that you thought was good
And now you're back in the neighborhood
I always see you and I never should
Now you're back, now you're back in the neighborhood

He taps upon the glass when I'm asleep
So now I keep my window closed at night
I saw, I'd seen Morse code when the wind blows
He is waiting for his moment to be right

Genova Heights, Genova Heights
Are hard to leave, are hard to leave
The endless nights of Genova Heights
Are hard to leave, so hard to leave

You didn't know that you thought was good
And now you're back in the neighborhood
I always see you and I never should
Now you're back in the neighborhood

You, you didn't know that you thought was good
And now you're back in the neighborhood
I always see you and I never should
Now you're back, now you're back in the neighborhood


6.Personal(Caroline)

Wanted single F under 33
Must enjoy the sun, must enjoy the sea
Sought by single M, Mrs. Destiny
Send photo to address, is it you and me?

Reply to single M, my name is Caroline
Cell phone number here, call if you have the time
28 and bored, grieving over loss, sorry to be heavy
But heavy is the cost, heavy is the cost

Reply to Caroline, thanks so much for response
These things can be scary, not always what you want
How about a drink? The Ancient Club at noon
I'll phone you first I guess, I hope I see you soon

I never got your name, I assume you're 33
Your voice it sounded kind, I hope that you like me
When you see my face, I hope that you don't laugh
I'm not a film star beauty, I'll send a photograph, I hope that
you don't laugh

Note to single M, why did you not show up?
I waited for an hour, I finally gave up
I thought once that I saw you, I thought that you saw me
I guess we'll never meet now, it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't
mean to be
I was sure you saw me but it wasn't meant to be

Wanted single F under 33
Must enjoy the sun, must enjoy the sea
Sought by single M, nothing too heavy
Send photo to address, is it you or me? Is it you or me?

Is it you or me?
Is it you or me?
Is it you or me?
Is it you or me?


7.Barricade


8.Window Bird

Stuck on the wall, the note that you left
I wait and stop for the moment
Your reckless heart, you know you got it
Into the past, I try to sort it

Sort it, sort it, sort it, sort it, sort it, sort it

Out of the fog, you're calling my name
I wanted to call for nothing
Your careless heart, you know you got it
Crawl into bed and try to forget

Forget, forget, forget, forget, forget, forget

And when we go down you lost the courage
When we go down, you're so ferocious
When we go down you lost the courage
When we go down, you're so ferocious

Blanket of cloud, the sky hovering
Winter is long and forgiving
You melt your doubt and fall into me
I find your mouth and try to hold it

Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it

You bring your love, you know it's homeless
But we'll both rise, we're falling
The summer arrives, the garden's alive
With the mud and the mortar, we're gonna save it

Save it, save it, save it, save it, save it, save it, save it
Save it, save it, save it, save it, save it, save it, save it

When we go down, you lost the courage
When we go down, you're so ferocious
When we go down, you lost the courage
When we go down, you're so ferocious

When we go down, you lost the courage
When we go down, you're so ferocious
When we go down, you lost the courage
When we go down, you're so ferocious


9.Bitches In Tokyo(Fuck U I Love You)

You can ride my place out
Of the life you make
And all the things that mattered
When you knew my face

Cross off all the ways I failed you
'Cause I failed you
But I'm still in your blood
You're still in my blood

A time when all our mistakes
Made sense, you needed it
A time when all the lying
Sympathized with sin

All this sabotage you bring
Well, I can't take it
'Cause I just want you back
I just want you back

Temporary battles
Can take up half your life
How you dig your bed, well
It'll help you sleep at night

Forgiveness like a blanket
That you want to forget
But you still crumble at my name
You still crumble at my name

A time when all our mistakes
Made sense, you needed it
A time when all the lying
Sympathized with sin

All this sabotage you bring
Well, I can't take it
'Cause I just want you back
I just want you back


10.Life 2:The Unhappy Ending(Film Score)

Scene one, late at night, interior
We found ourselves inside the car
Our hero has just gone too far
His lover bleeding in the back
He removes the lucky from the pack
He knows now that he can't turn back

Cut to the cherry lights in the rear view
He realizes that he's through
Whispers, 'Darling, let's have fun'
As they exit doing 91
Drives until he's in the woods
If he loses them, he's gone for good

Life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in tears
But life, could be nothing but a joke
Could be nothing but a con
Where's my unhappy ending gone?

Oh, life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in fire
But life, could be nothing but a joke
A sentimental little card
Where's my unhappy ending gone?
Where's my unhappy ending?

Here's the part where you save me
Here is the scene where you save the day
Why can't the ending be happy?
Why must it always resolve this way?

Fade in, the cabin in the woods somewhere
Our hero strokes his lover's hair
Says, 'Don't worry, love, we're almost done'
Says, 'I could have really been someone'

Outside, they surround the house with pistols drawn
Some waiting there until the dawn
Sargent says, 'He can't go on
We know now that he can't go on'

Life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in blood
But life, could be nothing but a joke
A sentimental little card
Where's my unhappy ending gone?

Oh, life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in fire
But life, turns out it's nothing but a dream
And I'll miss it when it's gone
I want the story to go on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on and on

But it can't go on
But it can't go on
But it can't go on
But it can't go on
But it can't go on
But it can't go on


11.Today Will Be Better, I Swear !(Flaming)

When can't get up to the cold morning light
But you don't get to sleep in, still dreaming
And everybody only wants to fight
You're up against never being right
When the worries of the world hold your feet
And there's little left to believe in

Today, today, it's gonna be a better one
There's nothing more to take in, going wrong
Today, today, it's gonna be a better one
There's nothing more to take in, going wrong
There's nothing more to take in, going wrong

Old pale memories of someone you knew
Keep crawling through the back of your mind, stealin' time
And in the daylight, you're crossing all your wires
You never knew just how to put out a fire
And the closet's been shaken with bones
Little reminders that you're out on your own

Today, today, it's gonna be a better one
There's nothing more to take in, going wrong
Today, today, it's gonna be a better one
There's nothing more to take in, going wrong
There's nothing more to take in, going wrong

Today, today, keep your head and drive again
There's nothing more to battle and you go
Today, today, it's gonna be a better one
There's nothing more to take in, going wrong
There's nothing more to take in, going wrong
