Memory Man

Aqualung Memory Man Lyrics
1.Cinderella

I'm on a roll
Everything I touch turns to shh..
It's taking it's toll
Can anybody get me off it?
Stuck on a roll
And it's wearing thin

I remember the night
No wet eyes, no crossroads
No mention of fate
Just a poor decision

I shouldn't have gone
Even though my head would bust
I shoudn't have gone

Be careful what you hope and you pray for
You know you only get what you pay for

And I can hear the ticking of timebombs
For poor Cinderella

I'm on a roll
Everything I touch turns to gold
It's taking its toll
Can anybody get me off it?

I shouldn't have gone
Even though my head was busting
I shouldn't have gone

Be careful what you hope and you pray for
You know you only get what you pay for
And I can hear the ticking of timebombs
The clock strikes
It's midnight
For poor Cinderella


2.Pressure Suit

Well two spinning spheres,
Two spinning spheres in a bed of stars
Silence is super
Staring into space, I wonder where you are

You're all that I've ever needed
I know that you won't feel it

Drift out into darkness
Lost out on horizon
It's alright
It's alright
I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright
It's alright

Violently clear the upper atmosphere
Raging out your heart
Somewhere far beneath
Your pointed tongue and teeth
Is where you really are

Don't want to be forgiven
But drag you down from where you are

Drift out in the darkness
Lost out on horizon
It's alright
It's alright
I'll be your respirator
I'll be your parachute
It's alright
It's alright

Oooohhhh oh
Mmmm, ohhhh oh

I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright, It's alright

I will not let you go...ohh

Two spinning spheres, they spin together
I'm gon' spin alone
I don't know how I can do this
I don't know how to get through
It's alright, It's alright

It's alright, It's alright

I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright, It's alright
I'll be your four leaf clover
I'll be your pressure suit
I'll be your angel wings
I'll be your parachute
I'll be your running reason
I'll be your only reason
Ohhhh, ohhhhhh
It's alright, It's alright

I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit


3.Something To Believe In

You talk too much.
Maybe that's your way
Of breaking up the silence
That fills you up.
But it doesn't sound the same
When no one's really listening

We stumble into our lives:
Reach for a hand to hold.
And any wonder
We need to find
A certain something, certain.

Turn out the light
And what are you left with?
Open up my hands
And find out they're empty.
Press my face to the ground
I've gotta find a reason.
Just scratching around
For something to believe in:
Something to believe in.

You have too much.
You're spending all your time
Collecting and discovering
It's not enough.
And no matter how you try,
You never find the one you want.

We stumble into our lives:
Without a hand to hold.
And any wonder
We need to find
A certain something, certain.

Turn out the light
And what are you left with?
Open up my hands
And find out they're empty.
Press my face to the ground
I've gotta find a reason.
Still scratching around
For something to believe in:
Something to believe in.

('mumbling' ??)


4.Glimmer

I know that I was lost
And I know that it was too too hard
And although it isn't much
I give you all I have.

There's a mirror in the old place
A place where we would stand
And wonder at our sweet sweet selves
Smiling hand in hand
This wasn't what we planned.

Though the night has fallen
I close my eyes and imagine
A tiny glimmer flickering on the horizon.

It takes time to get it right
Takes no time to get it wrong.
I can't believe I didn't see
The ground was caving in

Oh, can we just start again?


Everyday, everyday
Living my life like it's over
Like it's over and deep underground.

Little look, little smile
Flick the switch and it's over
Like it's lost and can never be found.

But maybe there's a tiny glow
That won't die and won't leave us. A lone
Star shining. The sun is rising.

There's a tiny glimmer flickering on the horizon.
Can you see it? Can you see it there?
Can you see it? Can you see it there's
A tiny glimmer flickering on the horizon.


5.Vapour Trail

I was feeling nothing
Forever never took so long
One day then another
Then another on and on

All my life
All my love is there
Wish that love
Love was all it took to get me home

Strung out on the line
Watch the credit counting down
Running out of chances
Oh I'm running out of time

All my life
All my love is there
Wish that love
Love was all it took to get me home

All I needs a moments grace
So I just got to see your face
That's all
Pull my head between my knees
The earth might crack
The sky might freeze
That's all I'm asking for
Just let me go

One way or the other
I will feel your touch again
I got disconnected
But I still heard everything

All my life
All my love is there
Wish that love
Love was all it took to get me home
Get me home

All I needs a moments grace
So I just got to see your face
Thats all
Pull my head between my knees
The earth might crack
The sky might freeze
That's all I'm asking for

Who was I take the risk
And watch my hands become two fists
That's all I'm asking for
That's all I'm asking for

I was in the garden
Wishing on a vapor trail
Pull your arms around me
Oh you make me happy
Oooo just let me go
Just let me go

All I need's a moments grace
So I just got to see your face
Thats all
Ooooo yeah
Pull my head between my knees
The earth might crack
The sky might freeze
Thats all I'm asking for

Who was I to take the risk
And watch two hands become two fists
Thats all I'm asking for
Thats all I'm asking for
Just let me go
Just let me go

Put your arms around me


6.Rolls So Deep

I'm gonna teach myself to drive
Down the road on the other side.
I'm gonna set myself alive
To put some fire in my soul.

Could've told you a million lies
Given everything to compromise
But you could run for a million miles
And still have nowhere to go.

It's like lightning in a clear blue sky.
There's a storm but you keep it inside
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
And it rolls...it rolls
It rolls so deep.

You're gonna have to wait awhile.
Tune it in on another dial
Cause every time that you make me smile
Blood bursts out of a stone.

And if I have to be myself again
Drown our tears in the pouring rain
It's the end of the holiday
And you don't wanna go home.

It's like lightning in a clear blue sky.
There's a storm but you keep it inside

It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
And it rolls...it rolls
It rolls so deep. Yeah!
It rolls...it rolls so deep.

I wanna feel it everyday
I wanna feel it everyday everyday
Oohh

It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
And it rolls
It's like lightning in a clear blue sky
There's a storm but you keep it inside
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
And it rolls so deep, yeah.
It rolls...it rolls so deep, yeah.
It rolls...it rolls so deep.

La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la, yeah.
Yeah
Oooh, ooh, ooh ooh ohh

It's like lighting in a clear blue sky
There's a storm but you keep it inside
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes


7.The Lake

This house is full of secrets.
This house smells of ghosts.
Dreams that never woke,
Dreams that never woke.
Nightmares never spoke of.

Outside the water's black,
This one we won't throw back.
A lifetime is too long,
A lifetime is too long
Let's say no more about it.

Listen to me,
I can only say this once.
Are you listening?
See these empty hands,
Know that it was all for you.
Til see you again,
Down by the lake.

Sleeping beauty stirs,
The whole world could be hers.
But after all these years,
After all these years
I'll say no more about it.

Listen to me,
I can only say this once.
Are you listening?
See these empty hands,
Know that it was all for you,
Til I see you again..
Yes, I'll see you again..
When I see you again,
Down by the lake..

This house smells of ghosts.


8.Black Hole

Sooner or later this will fall apart
It takes more than science to save a failing heart
I wanted to keep you and hide you from the sun
but no one could reach you

You say I'm a black hole
Sigularity
My own supernova
A blazing blind catastrophe
And for once I was a star
A long time before that
Somebody's sun

But enough of these pointless noises
Enough of just counting down
This is not a test
If love is not the answer
then maybe I misunderstood Oh the question
Oh there must be someway out of this

We stand in a circle

hand in hand in hand
There's talk of a comet
Over moon and land
The sand has run out of the glass
We stand in a circle
We stand in a line

But enough of these pointless noises
Enough of just counting down
This is not a test
If hope is not the answer then maybe I misunderstood Oh the
question
Because there must be someway
I want it so so..
There's always someway

Well enough of these final nothings
There's no time to reconsider
So love was not the answer but maybe I misunderstood the
question
Because it must be somewhere
I read it somewhere
There's always someway


9.Outside

He wants to give but he'll give himself away
She wants to take but she's taking all she can
They've got it all figured out
He wants to listen but there so much more to say
She wants to shout it out loud but she doesn't
She doesn't open her mouth

Had enough of crying
When she's happy and smiling when she sad
Had enough of wondering
What became of all the dreams he had
Are they out there somewhere

Baby don't you stay there on the inside
Together we can make it on the outside
You and me on the outside

Can you remember the way it used to feel
We'd run as fast and as far as we wanted to go
But then the walls closed in
And I was one step forward and two steps back
Two steps forward and three steps back

Oh it's all too much
So take my hand we'll jump together

Baby I won't leave you on the inside
Together we can make it on the outside
You and me on the outside
You and me on the outside
On the outside

Shine your light on me and I'll shine my light on you
Shine my light on you if you shine your light on me
Shine your light on me and I'll shine my light on you
On the outside
On the outside
On the outside

Baby I won't leave you on the inside
Together we can make it on the outside
You and me on the outside
You and me on the out (yeah)
You and me on the outside


10.Garden Of Love

In the garden of love I saw
A moment of sun in her eye
And everything was quiet.

In the garden of love I saw
Starlight sigh and shadow move.

Faltering, no faltering
Faltering

Before you go, a few words for your heart
Before you turn, something to ponder in your heart
As you go

In our garden of love we grew
Roses so red our hearts were busted open
All feeding on the dream we made
The bright and beautiful parade
That bloom by bloom began to fade
And blow by blow, oh

Before you go, a few words for your heart
Before you turn, something to ponder in your heart
As you go

How we tried to make everything right
How we fought and we talked through the night
How we nearly
Made it.

In the garden of love I saw
A moment of sun in her eye
And everything was quiet.

Stepping out into the light
Other side of the window
Blinking and blind in the light
Other side of the window
Falter, no faltering now
Other side of the window
Falter, no faltering now
That journey is over
Over
Over

There's only so much that our heart can grow
Then everything else starts to overflow
But you're young and in love
Back then there was no way of knowing

So we pushed and we pulled with our nerves of steel
You had the pedals and I had the wheel
And the terrible truth
Is we never knew where we were going

There's only so much that our heart can grow
Then everything else starts to overflow
But you're young and in love
Back then there was no way of knowing


11.Broken Bones

Picking up broken words
Snipping the tips off
Grinding down the long ones
That wind around your eardrums

Dangerous plastic words
For crowd dispersal
And dumb dumb words
That could blow your head off

This is a story 'bout the three of us
Down by the water and the tide is rising
This world is burning and I'm terrified
I need a little more time with you, oh
I just need a little more time with you

One fine day you'll sing
Your inevitable love song
Inevitable lie song

Inevitable cry song

Time bends broken bones
Time bends broken bones
'Til they wrap around your throat
And snap around your fingers

This is a story 'bout the three of us
Down by the water and the tide is rising
This world is burning and I'm terrified
I need a little more time with you, oh

Down by the water and the tide keeps rising
This world is burning and I'm terrified
I need a little more time with you
Oh, I just need a little more time with you
Oh please, just a little more time with you
