This Delicate Thing We've Made

Darren Hayes This Delicate Thing We've Made Lyrics
1.A Fear Of Falling Under

Deep into the water
Deep into the dark
Deep into the places
Stories have to start
Peel open the layers
Go in for the kill
Bite into the onion
Taste it for the thrill

Got a fear of falling under
Underneath the dream
A fear of going too deep
Deep beneath the seams
A fear of falling under
Underneath the spell
A fear of opportunities
Secrets I won't tell

Reach into the top hat
Reach in all alone
Reach in for a rabbit
Come up with a stone
Searching for pieces
Pieces let me hide
Discarded moments
In the junkyard of my mind

Got a fear of falling under
Underneath the dream
A fear of going too deep
Deep beneath the seams
A fear of falling under
Underneath the spell
A fear of opportunities
Secrets I won't tell

What came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what?


2.Who Would Have Thought

Nobody told you
That a heart is like a deep, deep freeze
So many lies so much of it broken

Nobody told you
Deep within a well so cavenous
That maybe I could shed some light on
Who would have thought
It could be amazing?
Who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
And bring me back to you?

Nobody told you
There'd be days of silence that no one heard
A river swells and overwhelms you
And nobody told you
Deep within a heart so ravenous
That maybe I could spare a beat for
Who would have thought
It could be amazing?
Who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
And bring me back to you?
I had to find you, had to let you know
That you aren't all alone, yeah
We didn't make the rules
I had to find you, had to get right back
To you

I had to find you, had to let you know
That you aren't all alone, yeah
We didn't make the rules
I had to find you, had to get right back
To you, it's always been you

Now tell me
Who would have thought
It could be this amazing?
Now, who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Tell me, who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
And bring me back to you?


3.Waking The Monster

The professor is building
Something extraordinary
From the first signs
Well I knew he would hide it from me
Clang, clang, rattle, and buzz
There's a helicopter blade
And a bit of a truck
He's got no more quality time
To be going on adventures
Spending mornings on black keys
Using a Ouija board
Or finding hidden places
That have never been sought I pray
Origami full of grace
The professor is mad
And he's working a feverish pace
Diabolical delicious things
Something is bad
And it's something within me

Do you know?
Do you know?
What is he building in there?
Gotta know-
Gotta see-
What is he building in there?
Gotta know-
Gotta be-
Something destructively daring-
Disastardly- it's got the best of me.

The professor is building
All kinds of devilish devices.
There's one part
With a singular bit of enlightment.
Bang, crash, glitter, and bug.
There's a phonographic needle
And a stereo heart.
He's got no plans to make an announcement-
No preliminary sketches,
Or advice to impart to me.
One ounce of jealousy,
Fifty-seven gallons juvenile delinquency.

Super supremacy-
I've got to find an answer,
Got to fashion a skeleton key.
Diabolical delicious deeds-
Something is bad,
And it's shrouded of secrecy.
Do you know?
Do you know?
What is he building in there?
Gotta know-
Gotta see-
What is he building in there?
Gotta know-
Gotta be-
Something destructively daring-
Disastardly- it's got the best of me.

(There are really four dimensions.
Three-
Which we call the three planes of space.
And a fourth-
Time.)

The professor is building
Something extraordinary.
Behind bars
And a door he won't open for me.
Kind words and the barrel of a gun
Will make him come to grips-
Make him face up to what he's done.
Do you know?
Do you know?
What is he building in there?
Gotta know-
Gotta see-
What is he building in there?
Gotta know-
Gotta be-
Something destructively daring-
Disastardly- it's got the best of me.
Do you know?
Do you know?
What is he building in there?
Gotta know-
Gotta see-
What is he building in there?
Gotta know-
Gotta be-
Something destructively daring-


4.How To Build A Time Machine

If I have understood correctly,
Velocity equals the distance travelled,
Divided by time.
I've read every word ever printed
On quantum physics,
And now it is time to try.
I read your book, I found your notes.
I dusted this thing off and turned on the key.
The rumbling motors, the buzzing- Incredible gadgets,
the hissing electricity.
And now, the moment has come.
I'm travelling back in time.

They're running down the hall-
(I've started the countdown.)
They want me to stop-
(But I don't think so.)
I'm ready to go-
(Let's get the job done.)

Beyond the paradoxical,
All the lights are dazzling.
Past the planes and trains, and satellite navigation.
Past the time I spent today,
Through the nearest wormhole.
In a stunning ball of white,
The light explodes and lands on you.

And you're five-
Always running away
When I was dying to kiss you,
And I-
I don't want to cry.
I don't want to see
Where the moving van takes you,
So I travel on.
Beyond the stars-
At one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second,
I can fly-
Forward a few years,
To nineteen hundred and seventy-nine-
I caught a glimpse of the sky.

And they're coming down the road-
(They're coming to get me.)
I never should have come-
(I hide the time machine.)
I'm running down the hall-
(I think I'm in my old house.)

Past the place where I grew up-
Number nine Lake Road.
Past the swimming pool,
And Mable park,
And past Troy Clifford's house.
To the Argonaut-
To the fish and chip shop.
Out the back and down the road-
And to the place I got beat up.

Hey, put that rock down!
Can't you see he's half your size?
Hey, he looks familiar-
Oh my God, it's me, aged nine.
Put your shoes on,
And run away from here.
I can't get involved-
This is all so weird.
I'm meeting myself-
This is all so clear.

All the things I lost,
All the people I hurt.
All the times I lied,
All the moments wasted.
All I never did,
All the dreams I had.
All the things I would change-
I can change them.

All the things I lost,
All the people I hurt.
All the times I lied,
All the moments wasted.

I'm gonna make right what I did wrong
And change how the future has gone-
Through appliance of science.
I'll take a hold of my enemies,
Take their obscenities-
Kiss them, and leave them like lovers who've gone.
I'll call my dad-
I'll tell him I miss him,
And tell my reflection, 'It's not your fault.'
And now, the moment has come-
I'm traveling back in time.

They're running down the hall-
(I've started the countdown.)
They want me to stop-
(But I don't think so.)
I'm ready to go-
(Let's get the job done.)

Put your shoes on, and
Run away from here-
I can't get involved,

Let's get the job done.

All the things I lost,
All the people I hurt.
All the times I lied,
All the moments wasted.
All I never did,
All the dreams I had.
All the things I would change-
I can change them.
Beyond the paradoxical,
All the lights are dazzling.
Past the planes and trains, and satellite navigation.
Past the time I spent today,
Through the nearest wormhole.
In a stunning ball of white,
The light explodes into another moment.


5.Casey

Lyricist:Darren Hayes
Writer(s):Darren Hayes

Driving in your car
With the windows down
And a beat-up stereo
Struggle with this town
Cause you love to hate it
But hate to let it go
And we're all alone
And so tired of being underrated
So don't take me home
Cause I feel life when you come and save me
A yellow car speeding down a south-side freeway
When you write this movie
Make it end like we wanted to

And Casey, when you go
Can you come and find me?
I wanna be beside you when you leave this town
I'll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry
I wanna be someone
If you take me away all the pain will change
Into a memory
When we were amazing

1989, somewhere had hit but it was not moving
What is it with this town?
Everytime I win it just feels like loosing
We would never gonna fit in
I was a mixed-up kid
And you were my sanity
And a yellow car
We don't even have to go far
Cause that song you're playing
Soundslike peace on the radio

And Casey, when you go
Can you come and find me?
I wanna be beside you when you leave this town
I'll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry
I wanna be someone
If you take me away all the pain will change
Into a memory
When we were amazing
When we were amazing

I know things will change
Can't you stay the same?
Take me away
Ohh, we don't have to go far
We don't have to go far
I know...

Ohh
Casey, when you go
Can you come and find me?
I wanna be beside you when you leave this town
I'll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry
I wanna be someone
If you take me away all the pain will change
Into a memory
When we were...
When we were...

Casey, when you go
Can you come and find me?
I wanna be beside you when you leave this town
I'll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry
I wanna be someone
(I wanna be someone)
If you take me away all the pain will change
Into a memory
When we were amazing
When we...

Driving in your car
With the windows down
And a beated-up stereo
Ohh...

I wanna...
I'm gonna...
I wanna be someone

I wanna...
I'm gonna...
I wanna be someone

I want you
I will come to you
I want you
I will come to you

Just come and get me
Just come and rescue me ohh...

I want you
I will come to you
I want you
I will come to you

Coming throught the sky like a satellite
Like a radio wave
A meteorite, meteorite, meteorite, meteorite, meteorite...


6.Step Into The Light

I have turned away from you,
And I am Godless.
A wasteland of poison;
A hidden fortress.

I have blackened out the stars,
And hidden frequencies.
I have silenced all the waves,
And forbidden secrecies.

Just step into your light.
This dog doesn't bite, no.
I just want to be your friend,
You know, I've never been in love before.
I've never been in love before.
Ohh ohh ohh

There is nothing of you, now,
No ghost, no, not a trace.
No flower, not a seed nor perfume, in your place.
I have searched amidst a barren plain of emptiness.

And I am worthless.
It is futile.
You're invisible.
I am infantile.
Step into the light, oh.
This dog doesn't bite, yo.
Just wanna be your friend,
You know, I've never been in love before.
I've never been in love before.
Ohh oh ohh

I have murdered the divine in me;
Set the Godness free,
I have squandered it all.
Like less than the sum,
I am parts of a whole;
There is something missing,
There is something I stole
(There is something I stole)

Why have you forsaken me?
Where do you hide?
I feel the betrayal
Simmers, it blisters,
It digs down and burrows,
Deeper inside,
The more that I try,
I cannot deny it.
It feels like
It feels like(I've never been)
It feels like(I've never been in love before)
I've never been in love before.
It feels like(I've never been in love before)
It feels like(I've never been in love before)
It feels like(Love)
Step into the light, oh.
This dog doesn't bite, no.
Just wanna be your friend,
You know that I've never been in love before,
(I've never been in love before)
Just a step into the light, oh.
You know that this dog doesn't bite, no.
Take hold of my hand
You know that I've never been in love before,
Oohhhhhh


7.Sing To Me

Lyricist:darren hayes
Writer(s):matthew wilder

You step behind a curtain
In a moment you were gone
Nothing's ever certain
And it's hard to carry on

This is not what we planned
And I know it's hard to understand
But if this isn't what you want then
If this isn't what you need pry my fingers from your hand

Maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe you'll find a way to haunt me
Come back and sing a melody to me

Maybe we're just lost at sea
Maybe I'm holding on to driftwood
And I'll be alright if you could
Sing to me
Sing to me

You step beneath the landslide
Nothing feels right when you're wrong
And try to find an upside
Try to sing without a song

This is not what we planned
And I know it's hard to understand
But if this isn't what you want then

Maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe you'll find a way to haunt me
Come back and sing a melody to me

Maybe we're just lost at sea
Maybe I'm holding on to driftwood
And I'll be alright if you could
Sing to me
Sing to me

I keep seeing flashes of your hands
When I close my eyes
And I don't know why
And I don't know why

Help me make sense of what I don't understand
'Cause I've gotta know why
I've gotta know why
Tell me why do you sing to me?

Maybe it's just meant to be
That you would sing to me
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Could you come sing for me?

Maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Would you come sing for me?
Sing for me


8.A Conversation With God

Lyricist:darren hayes
Writer(s):robert conley

We're driving
Just me and God
It's raining
It's raining hard
The windows
Are steaming up
The bridge
Engulfed by fog

The rust of
The metal bridge
It beckons
It pulls me in
I argue
I scream at God
For what he's offering

And my hands fly off the steering wheel
Can't recall getting here
If I could, I would reach behind
And turn my light off
My thoughts run off the beaten track
There's no lighthouse or way back
Take the hand of God
And bite the feeder
No more lingering

I'm driving
I talk to God
He's screaming
I only nod
I need to
Be where you are
The leaves and trees are shaking

It's raining
The bullets melt
The hunger
Of hunger itself
It's draining
But pain has reservoirs
It keeps for itself

And my hands fly off the steering wheel
Can't recall getting here
If I could, I would reach behind
And turn my light off
My thoughts run off the beaten track
There's no lighthouse or way back
Take the hand of God
And bite the feeder
No more lingering

I'm falling
I'm not myself
I'm diving
I'm underneath
The hull of a mighty ship
That steams away from here

The bubbles
The surface race
They shine and they replicate
I hear it
The Voice of God
Is laced with sarcasm
In your hands

And my thoughts run off the beaten track
There's no lighthouse or way back
Take the hand of God
And bite the feeder
No more lingering

My hands fly off the steering wheel
Can't recall getting here
If I could, I would reach behind
And turn my light off


9.The Sun Is Always Blinding Me

From the top of a church on a hill
To the tip of a dragonfly wing
From the shine off a hood of cab
To a shimmering diamond within on a ring
That was worn through two world wars

From a smile that soars though its old and worn
And two blue eyes forever seem uncold

The sun is always blinding me with her light
The day is always hiding behind the night
And wanting everybody to be alright
Go on blinding me with her light

From the glare of a red traffic light
To the blur of a bicycle wheel
From the flare of a camera lense
To a fluorescent light that ignites and displays
Someone leaving a goodbye note
From a pen made of steel and reflection of hope
And it took some words to serenade him so

The sun is always blinding me with her light
The day is always hiding behind the night
And wanting everybody will be alright
Go on blinding me with her light

From a fire that burns in the darkest well
Of a cave through which (?)
I can hear her yell, I can tell
This bird just wants to be free
So set her free

And if this world should ever leave you cold

The sun is always blinding me with her light
The day is always hiding behind the night
And wanting everybody to be alright
Go on blinding me with her light

The sun is always blinding me with her light
The day is always hiding behind the night
And wanting everybody to be alright
Go on blinding me with her light


10.Listen All You People

Listen all you people,
all you lonely and deserted,
the departed and broken-hearted
I've got time for you
You can call your friends,
for we're headed on a journey

All the lonely, the mad
All the bad, all the sad,
got a message for you,
nothing's peaches and cream,
nothing's quite what it seems,
they've been lying to you

All you unhappy wives,
all you pregnant brides,
all you kings and you queens,
all you sick and you poor,
all the drunks on the floor,
well, I'm calling to you

Listen all you people,
all you lonely and deserted,
the departed and broken-hearted
I've got time for you
You can call your friends,
for we're headed on a journey
We've been held down
We've been pushed down,
now we're through

All the freaks, all the queers
All the fobs, all the steers,
well, it's time to give in
There's a crack in the door,
it's okay to want more,
you've been dying for years
All the races you lost,
all the love lists it costs you,
the heart on your sleeve
All the stifled reactions,
the screams you been acting like no one can hear you

Listen all you people,
all you lonely and deserted,
the departed and broken-hearted
I've got time for you

Sending out a message, gotta get to you
Sending out a message, is it coming through?
Sending out a message, gotta get to you
Sending out a message, is it coming through?
Listen all you people,
all you lonely and deserted

Listen all you people,
all you lonely and deserted
We've been held down
We've been pushed down
Now we're through

Listen all you people,
all you lonely and deserted


11.The Only One

Lyricist:darren hayes
Writer(s):george muranyi

In a world so cynical
You came in and changed the ball
From black to white
And made me right
This is all atypical
No one else has had the time
To read the signs
You are the only one

No one else can keep me from
The danger of myself
You keep me stronger
You are the only one

And now I love you even more
Than I did before

I've got such a jealous side
Reaching out I try to hide my infant stride
And in my mind
This is all so prototype
Make it wrong to make it feel right
Don't deny it
'Cause you are the only one

No one can keep me from
The danger I possess
You keep me stronger
You are the only one

And now I love you even more
Than I did before

And when they make the call
For one last drink
When myself is dancing below
And when no one knows it
When the colors all collide inside
And I can barely hide
You are the only one

No one else can keep me from
The danger of myself
You keep me stronger
You are the only one

And now I love you even more
There is no other
No one else I place above you
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
Than I did before


12.Bombs Up In My Face

Now everybody's beautiful
When they're young
And I should know
I've had more than my share of fun

There's all this fascination
With the impossibly thin
With the surface of things
Airbrush Photoshop creation

In all that we are losing
Aren't we just confusing
Youth with beauty?
Truth with duty?

There's something on the telly 'bout North Korea
Some war broke out don't trust the media
I'd like to get a suntan
Some dude was shot in Pakistan

The track's got noddage
Moves my boddage
The track's got noddage
The track's got noddage

They've got those bombs up in the planes
They've got those bombs up in the trains
They've got those bombs up in my face
Don't wanna talk about it
(x 2)

I was walking through the city
Past a phone shop and a homeless man
Was lying there looked almost dead
And no one seemed to bother

I ran into a rock and roll band
Two or three of them, maybe four
This one punk just 19 years old
He gave me his persuasion

He looked at me with his one black eye
Looked down on me like I didn't have a life
And he was right
At least not the kinda life he'd been paradin'

Same sex union (ooh!)
Change the constitution
You can carry a gun
But you better not fall in love with someone

The President who fucked the world
For every future boy and girl
Is golfing in Aruba
With a suntan and scuba

The track's got noddage
Moves my boddage
The track's got noddage
Moves my boddage
Moves my boddage
Moves my boddage

They've got those bombs up in the planes
They've got those bombs up in the trains
They've got those bombs up in my face
Don't wanna talk about it
(x 2)

Now everybody dies or fades away
A permutation white and grey
A synergy of light and dust
And skin cells constantly aging

You fell in love with the dream
To fuck forever endlessly
But you don't, and that's ok
The rest is better anyway

Botox bungle CNN
Infomercial count to ten
Change the channel VCR
Something's on my radar

The track's got noddage
Moves my boddage
The track's got noddage

They've got those bombs up in the planes
They've got those bombs up in the trains
They've got those bombs up in my face
Don't wanna talk about it
(x 4)

They've got those bombs up in the planes
They've got those bombs up in the trains
Don't want to talk about it


13.The Great Big Disconnect

You got God if you pay for it,
you got sex if you pray for it,
and those ever elusive weapons of mass destruction
You got Jesus with a paler skin,
you had Lennon but you wasted him,
I got sleeping pills that'll make you wanna call your momma

'Cause everyone's keeping their love far away,
everyone's keeping their love far away,
keeping their love far away,
everyone's keeping their love far away

You got phones with 3-D eyes,
and you're lonely but you don't know why
Somebody just killed a man,
and I forgot to moisturize
You got AIDS in Africa,
you got Paris in a new sports bra,
you got therapists to justify your behavior

'Cause everyone's keeping their love far away,
everyone's keeping their love far away,
keeping their love far away,
keeping their love far away
And I loved your company,
so full of generosity
I had something else to say,
but it must have slipped my mind,
it must have slipped my mind

So write another love song,
and pretend that there's nothing wrong
And if the feeling comes then just call me in the morning
'Cause everyone's keeping their love far away,
everyone's keeping their love far away,
keeping their love far away.....


14.The Future Holds A Lion's Heart

When I first escaped the city of York
And leapt out of this cage,
When no silicon chip could sublimate
Or tame this temptuous rage.
When my heart was in the attic,
Like the picture of Dorian Gray,
I was rescued by the enemy
That dare not speak its name.
Say hello to your future.
I'm just pleased to meet you-
You were a million miles away.
Say hello to your lion's heart.
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same.
Giddyup! Ha!

When I left the warm surroundings
Of my selfish difficult stage-
And when our eyes first met there was deja-vu
And a feeling I could not shake.
And then when gravity seduced me
And drew me to this place,
I could swear we were together
In an entirely different age.
Say hello to your future.
I'm just pleased to meet you-
You were a million miles away.
Say hello to your lion's heart.
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same.

So wonderfully good looking,
With fine and delicate lines.
If I place this face in carbon freeze
It will never be affected by time.
She said, 'Don't confuse your beauty
With the insolence of youth.
You can move through time in one direction.
Sad, but it's the truth.'
But it took so long to meet you-
But it took so long to meet you-
It took so long to meet you.
It's time to go,
You should never have come.
It's time to leave.
Get back to the craft;
Get back to your age.
Take somebody with you.
Giddyup! Ha!

Say hello to your future.
I'm just pleased to meet you-
You were a million miles away.
Say hello to your lion's heart.
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same.
Say hello to your future.
I'm just pleased to meet you-
You were a million miles away.
Say hello to your lion's heart.
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same.
Say hello.


15.On The Verge Of Something Wonderful

Lyricist:Darren Hayes
Writer(s):Darren Hayes

A serpent, a rabbit,
A walk in the forest,
A tentative looking sun.
A feeling, a moment,
A bursting of bubbles,
A panic to overcome.

A samurai, an angel,
An eloquent table,
An AC that does not work.
A road trip, a car wreck,
A paperback novel,
A lover who ain't been hurt.

When you let me go, now I'm on my way,
When the world below, is cold and grey.
On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful.
A resurgence, on the edge of something wonderful.

For it, against it,
Said he'd never meant it, but Harry still dropped the bomb,
A trip to the dentist, the Hollywood black list,
A moment that time forgot.

When you let me go, now I'm on my way,
When the world below, is cold and grey.
On the verge of, on the verge of, something wonderful.
At the edge of, on the verge of, something wonderful.

You can dance in the devil's shoes, you like walking in heels,
There's a decent living to be made in the selling out of ideals,
You can lose your way in the big city,
Get distracted and lost and feel pretty, Ohh, Ohh...

I want you, I need you,
I don't wanna please you, or belong to anyone.
But life is for leading, for not people pleasing,
A race that has never been won.

When you let me go, when I'm on my way,
When the world below, is cold and grey.
On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful.
At the edge of, on the verge of something wonderful.
On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful.
A resurgence, on the edge of something wonderful.


16.Neverland

Long ago,
When Mercury descended high on the moon.
Far below,
When little hands are making shapes in the room.
The shadows, they dance-
And they cheer up this place.
The face-
That's staring through a tiny crack in the door.
Eyes so wide-
He's never seen a woman fall on the floor.
I swear daddy's killed her this time.
Should I make a rocket-
Should I try to fly away?
Should I make a hammer-
Should I try to smash his face?
Should I make a bullet-
Should I try to shoot the gun?
I'm sure the judge will let me off real soon.

Long ago,
When Saturn tried to find a way past the sun.
Deep inside,
A little boy is turning pain into fun.
The pencils, the crayons, the paint colors run.
The plans,
Are forming slowly, made with scissors and glue.
Eyes so wide-
He's telling mommy all the things he can do.
He'll sketch a contraption to save them for sure.

He can draw an alien-
He can come and take them home.
He can draw a cartoon-
He can draw a safety hatch.
He can draw a hot bath-
He can plug a toaster in,
And wait till daddy's nice and warm-
Toss it in.

And then, when he's gone-
There's a neverland of fun.

Take a loaded gun-
Take a shot of rum.
Take a poison rat-
There's a lesson in that.
No more closing fists-
No more face to hit.
No more bloody nose-
Or apologetic roses.

Long ago,
When Mercury descended high on the moon.
Should I make a rocket-
Should I try to fly away?
Far below,
Little hands are making shapes in the room.
Should I make a hammer-
Should I try to smash his face?
Long ago,
When Saturn tried to find a way past the sun.
Should I draw a cartoon-
Should I draw an alien?
Deep inside,
A little boy is turning pain into fun-
Should I draw a hot bath-
Should I throw the toaster in?


17.Walk Away

I have been angry for so long-
I let you know.
Shoulda walked away when I was young-
I let you go.
I turned away,
But maybe I was wrong.

I've been polishing blame for so long now-
My pride and joy.
A bit of tragedy never hurt somehow-
This man became a boy.
You took the blame, but maybe I was wrong.

Walk away, now, and be gone.
You don't have to want to go on-
I can see it's killing you.
You don't always have to be so strong for me.
Every angel had dirty hands;
Even Judas planned to just carry on.
Just picking up the pieces
Of what lies behind those sorrowful lies.
You can walk away.

You had been silent for so long-
I let the world know.
I turned a bit of my pain into a song-
Then carried on.
You took my shame,
But baby, that was wrong.

Walk away, now, and be gone.
You don't have to want to go on-
Even when they're killing you.
You don't always have to be so strong for me.
Every angel had dirty hands;
Even Judas planned to just carry on.
Just picking up the pieces
Of what lies behind those sorrowful lies.
You can walk away.
Now, and be strong-
Well, I know you can carry on.

Walk away, now, and be gone-
'Cause you don't have to want to
Carry all the pain inside you.
'Cause the blood in me is your blood-
Every time I fall.
Walk away, now, and be gone-
Even when it's killing you.
You don't always have to be so strong for me.
Walk away, now, and be gone.
'Cause you know,
Even Judas planned to just carry on.
Still picking up the pieces
Of what lies behind those sorrowful lies.
You can walk away.
Now, and be strong-
You don't have to carry on.
(Walk away...)
Walk away, now, and be strong-
You don't have to wanna go on.

Walk away, now, and be strong-
You don't have to want to go on.

Walk away-
Walk away, now.
Walk away, now.
Oh...
You don't have to go on-
You don't have to be strong.
Walk away, now-
You can walk away.


18.Maybe

Maybe you're gone-
You had to get outta here.
It's easy to get lost in fear,
But maybe now the weight has lifted-
You're sailing through the air.
Making your way-
A travelling acrobat.
You're putting on your bowler hat,
Speeding through the atmosphere-
Past planes and meteorites.

Maybe you're gone.
Maybe you're lost somewhere,
Floating in outer space.
A radio wave turning into some
Secret place I've never been.
Leaving your heart beating in fragile hands,
And nobody understands.
Maybe you're gone-
Maybe you are finally coming home.

Maybe the end is the beginning.
The game is no fun when you're winning-
The pool is empty unless you're swimming,
And trying to keep afloat.
Maybe you stayed just a little while.
The party was over but you realized
That memory makes you immortalized.
You end when you're beginning.

And maybe you're gone.
Maybe you're lost somewhere,
Floating in outer space.
A radio wave turning into some
Secret place I've never been.
Leaving your heart beating in fragile hands,
And nobody understands.
Maybe you're gone-
Maybe you are finally coming home.

All the lights shine above you;
They become a part of you.
All the earth seems so tiny in your hands.
All the stars move inside you.
All the pain that's behind you;
All the secrets will blind you-
Understand? Oh...

Maybe you had to get out of here-
Maybe you lost your way down here-
Maybe you've found a shinier star-
A shinier star.
Leaving your heart beating in fragile hands,
And nobody understands.
Maybe you're gone-
Maybe you are finally coming home.
Oh...


19.Me Myself And(I)

I'm kinda reeling-
A deja-vu feeling.
We've been together
In another life.

Got me extended-
That network's ended.
The future echoes
With your memory.
Now darling, I don't know what the future will bring,
But I am willing to sing 'til I drop.
Now baby, I don't know how it happened to be,
But when we met it was like future shock.

Tell me what to do, me myself and I-
It's gonna take a time machine
To get it right.
And it's so cruel- I wanna take you home.
I'm gonna speed those hands of time right up,
So that I don't leave here all alone. Woo hoo!

The death of romance-
Thought there was no chance-
Then you appeared right in front of me.
I got to thinking,
Loneliness sinking-
I felt the cloudiness come over me.
Now darling, I don't know what the future will hold,
But I'm not willing to do as I'm told.
Now baby, I don't care how it happened to be,
I see my future; it's right before me.

Tell me what to do, me myself and I-
It's gonna take a time machine
To get it right.
And it's so cruel- I wanna take you home.
I'm gonna speed those hands of time right up
So that I don't leave here all alone.
Woo hoo! Woo hoo! Woo hoo!

Did you ever get the feeling that the universe is leaning?
It's accelerating, it will never stop.
Did you ever wonder if the number one divide by zero
Is infinity and if that's the case then what?
If imaginary numbers are abstractions of the real thing
Then could someone make the clock of time stop?
If we were always meant to be together like forever
Than it must have been a future shock.

I don't know what the future will bring,
But I am willing to sing 'til I drop...

What to do, me myself and I-
It's gonna take a time machine
To get it right.
And it's so cruel- I wanna take you home.
I'm gonna speed those hands of time
Right up so that I don't leave here all alone. Woo hoo!
I don't know what the future will bring,
But I am willing to sing 'til I drop.
(Gonna speed those hands of time right up...)
Oh darling, I don't know how it happened to be,
But when we met it was like future shock.

What to do, me myself and I-
It's gonna take a time machine
To get it right.
And it's so cruel- I wanna take you home.
I'm gonna speed those hands of time
Right up so that I don't leave here all alone. Woo hoo!


20.Lucky Town

Lyricist:darren hayes
Writer(s):robert conley

This time I'll try to love again
I'll never lose you my friend
I'll be there till the end forever
This time I'll take the happy pill
I'll chew off more than I can spill
And play until you stay forever

But nobody said it would be easy now
We live in a lucky town
But the foundations are shaking
The bridges are breaking in two
But nobody said it would be easy now
I don't want to let you down
But my heart is alight, it's alright
Cuz it's burning for you
And it burns right through

This time I'll try to make believe
I'll wear my heart upon my sleeve
Just take it when you leave it's better
This time I'll be the better man
I know the world will understand
Greatness is overrated you'll see

But nobody said it would be easy now
We live in a lucky town
But the foundations are shaking
The bridges are breaking in two
And nobody said it would be easy now
I don't want to let you down
But my heart is alight, it's alright
Cuz it's burning for you

This time I'll try to love again
This time I'll never lose you my friend
I'll stay until the end
For ever and ever and ever more

But nobody said it would be easy now
We live in a lucky town
But the foundations are shaking
The bridges are breaking in two
But nobody said it would be easy now
I don't want to let you down
But my heart is alight, it's alright
Cuz it's burning for you

But nobody said it would be easy now
We live in a lucky town
But my heart is on fire
The bridges are burning for you
But nobody said it would be easy now
I don't want to let you down
But my heart is alight, it's alright
Cuz it's burning for you

Nobody said it would be easy now
We live in a lucky town


21.I Just Want You To Love Me

Lyricist:darren hayes
Writer(s):darren hayes

I don't want someone telling me what to do
I don't wanna find out my temper grew wings
And flew to you

Don't want somebody telling me what's not right
But I just want you to love me
Oh I just want you to love me

I don't wanna have to lie about what's inside
When there's always been a tiny part of me
I'm trying to hide

I don't wanna see your expression when I let you down
And I just want you to love me
Oh I just want you to love me

There's a haiku poem inside of my head
But the words are written in invisible ink
Now the world is changing
I can barely keep up
What was hot is over
What was down is not
Now Adam and Eve are trying to split up
And I can't take anymore
'Cause I just want you to love me
Oh I just want you to love me

Love me
Oh I just want you to love me
Oh I just want you to love me
Oh I just want you to love me
Oh I just want you to love me
Oh I just want you to love me


22.Setting Sun

Leave me alone;
Come over here.
I know it sounds funny,
But I just can't stand another day on my own.
Another bug in my ear- sounds like noise to me.
Living alone;
A chill in the air.
I don't hear from my brother,
He is living in another continent far away.
And it was his birthday today,
But I think I missed it.
Setting sun-
I think I'm heading for a setting sun.
I really need to find a way back home.
Oh, it's so urgent-
There's an urgency.

Leave me alone;
Get out of here.
Still chasing my daddy,
Singing songs about my mammy.
Got to let it go.
Before I go down with the ship-
There's my heartache sinking.
Leave it alone;
Put it to bed.
Everybody changing memory
Set in the pages of an e-mail or two.
Yeah, I read all 32.
It was love prized out of you.
Setting sun-
I think I'm heading for a setting sun.
I really need to find a way back home.
Oh, it's so urgent-
There's an urgency behind the setting sun.
I think I'm heading for a setting sun.
I really need to find a way back home.
Oh, it's so urgent-
There's an urgency.

Do I make you hot?
Do I make you uncomfortable?
A stirring down in your soul for something more.
Does it happen a lot?
Does the drudgery bring you down?
Is anyone still around?
I'm coming down.

Oh...

Do I make you hot?
Do I make you uncomfortable?
A stirring down in your soul for something more.
Does it happen a lot?
Does the drudgery bring you down?
Is anyone still around?
Oh, setting sun-
I think I'm heading for a setting sun.
I really need to find a way back home.
Oh, it's so urgent-
There's an urgency.


23.A Hundred Challenging Things A Boy Can Do

It was a coal town.
He spent his whole life
In a hole in the ground-
Smashing pieces of earth.
He never really saw the sky.
It was a hard life,
But little black rocks make televisions work,
And put food on the table.
Until the unions cast him aside.

Now there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do.
And you've waved goodbye,
And held more tears in-
Than anyone ever should.
And all my sorrows pale to insignificance-
That's why I love you.

She was in a strange land.
She taught herself to read
From doing crosswords and hiding her accent.
She cast her dreams aside.
She had a spark in her eye.
She never saw her son on his wedding day.
Or our cherry blossoms falling down from the sky.

Now there's a hundred challening things a boy can do.
And you've waved goodbye,
And held more tears in-
Than anyone ever should.
And all my sorrow pales to insignificance-
That's why I love you.

No coal mines-
No, not a trace.
Now shopping malls take their place.
No picket lines.

The sacrifice-
Dreams overrun.
Hopes for a future for her son in Ollerton.

And there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do.
And you've waved goodbye,
And held more tears in-
Than anyone ever should.
All my sorrows pale into insignificance-
That's why she loves you.

Wave goodbye-
Wave goodbye.
Say goodbye to you.
Wave goodbye-
Wave goodbye.
Say goodbye to you.


24.Words

Lyricist:darren hayes
Writer(s):stuart brawley

Give me a taste of what's to come
Give me a medicine
Teach me a lesson, maybe I deserve to know
Cut me down to size and paralyze me
With the contents of your pretty little head

Give me somewhere else to go
Give me one thing
Tell me something I don't really need to know
I am so afraid of breaking what we made
It is delicate and lovely
But it's a weight above me

And your words are like weapons
But you'll keep them inside
They cut like a knife
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide but away from me
And I just wanna listen to your words

I'd like to step into your world
Show me a secret
I promise to keep it safe and sheltered from the storm
I would cross the great divide that keeps me swimming
Treading water from your shore

Now I wanna coax you from your hell
Into an alley, the hidden valley
Where the truth can surely spill
I wanna take the weight that drags you to the ground
Spare this treasure that I found

But your words are like weapons
But you'll keep them inside
They cut like a knife
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide but away from me
And I just wanna listen...

There's a lock, someone's stolen the key
They took it away from me
Somewhere that no one can read you
I see a bible
Yeah I see a bible in your eyes
All those codes and hidden meanings
Full of metaphor
and something for the faithless in me

But your words are like weapons
But you'll keep them inside
They cut like a knife
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide
And your words are like weapons
But you'll keep them inside
They cut like a knife
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide but away from me
And I just wanna listen to your words


25.Tuning Of Violins

Daylight breaks, and the black birds call-
And the market stalls are filling up,
spilling over the streets.
High above, over Notting Hill-
I am floating still, in a wooden chair,
with our restless dog.

Been away so long, almost forgot how time and space
Cannot replace this feeling of flying over things.
Night falling away, your sleeping face begins to register
That I'm coming home- yeah, I'm coming home to you.

Oh the song that only we know,
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over black-
Heed, call your name-
I will float through your window.

Major third, or a minor seventh-
And a violin tuned a little sharp,
tuned a little below.
Come around a bend, the hallway ends.
The chair it dips, and then it bends-
And it has wings for legs.
Night, deep in a dream, the sheets and pillowcases
Seem to overtake your head.
Well, I'm at the foot of our bed.

Oh the song that only we know,
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over black-
Heed, call your name-
I will float through your window.
Oh the song that only we know,
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over black-
Heed, call your name-
I will float through your window.
Pray through the silence, the gulf that's between us.
Take all the heartache and we'll shake the fields up.
And we will unravel, unravel the moments.
And we will unravel, unravel the moments.

Oh...
Oh the song that only we know,
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.
Over bluebells, over black-
Heed, call your name-
I will come to your window.
(Oh the song that only we know,
Where the sunlight and the wind blows.)
(Oh the song that only we know,
I'll be calling your name
As I float through your window.
