Mine And Yours

David Mead Mine And Yours Lyrics
1.Flamin' Angel

Flight of fancy, pick-up trucks
Sky of midnight-mother, son
Life gets lost and i miss those miles behind
Paths don't cross where the flamin' angel rides

There she goes, a love alive
The highway sings her lullaby
Far away, but here tonight
The flamin' angel rides
You carry me off to sleep
Carry me off to dream away the miles


2.Mine And Yours

Love my eternal mystery, buried in an angel's breast
Fell down the stairs and kissed me, smiled and forsook the rest
No calculated guesswork, now that introduction is made
And oh what a thrill to hold her; an embrace inside a hand
grenade

I'm a mess to be made this evening
With a cheap serenade so pure

What is mine and yours
Could never be unspoken
'cause a love endured
Should scream to the ocean and sky
All the ways of boys and girls
Love the same is mine and yours tonight

Sweet summer lilac romance, there upon the grocery shelf
I'm staring at your painted beauty, flexing my painted self
So take off your dress, don't worry- take off your boxing gloves
There's nothing in your touch to hurt me but the punishment i'm
thinking of

I'm a mess to be made this evening
With a cheap serenade so pure

What is mine and yours...

So if it's a promise kept
Or a sweet, enchanted sorrow
I will still be here tomorrow as tonight

What is mine and yours...


3.Comfort

We're talking trash again like long sedated lovers
Baby what's become of us
A latent memory of southern spring and summer
Maybe winter in new york

It's started raining now on all my best intentions
I'm putting on my heavy coat
I'll take an airplane and leave the worst unmentioned
Blame it on a lack of time

When i was given to easy answers
I swept you off your feet
But now the dancing days are gone
You sleep alone, leave the radio on

I'm high above it now, the clouds a pillow for me
I consider even more
You have the softest eyes, the ways to wash and comfort
All the kids on jersey shore

And i believe in easy answers
Coming home for christmas
Minding manners all along
I sleep alone, leave the radio on

Yes i believe in easy answers
Something permanent
But only chances make a song
We sleep alone with the radio on


4.Echoes Of A Heart

Now i'm crossing broadway towards a rising sun
In a waking city i'm a loaded gun
I came home tonight to no one

Not a sound, then it starts
Something speaks from the dark
Not a voice
Only echoes of a heart

Coming off the ceiling, rolling down the hall
Through a vacant feeling like a distant call
I hear nothing but the rise and fall

Not a sound, then it starts
Something speaks from the dark
Not a voice
Only echoes of a heart
Comes around, close and far
Deepest place, softest part
Not a voice
Only echoes of a heart


5.Standing Here In Front Of Me

All of these words, never you've heard
Silent, my point of view
All of my doubts, you never found out
Sorry, what i put you through
Sorry, what i put you through

If anyone could make it happen
If anyone could turn the key
If anyone would stay, never walk away
She's standing here in front of me

If ever you knew how i need you
Waiting every waking day
If ever you hurt, it's only much worse
Knowing that i made you wait
Knowing that i made you wait

If anyone could make it happen...


6.No One Left To Blame

Looking out the window, it's midday
Like the one i finally made you go away
Thirty days, give or take
Well i was sure you would break
I finally took that picture off the wall
Into every crack a little rain will fall
Give it time, so they say
But where do i place the blame
For it all

(chorus)
'cos it's true
You release yourself, it's all on someone else
Yeah it's true
And it's all the same when you got no one left to blame
I believed you every time you said
That this world could only turn inside your head
As if you never cried
As if we never died, this death

(chorus)

(bridge)
'cos if i'd ever thought about it
I know i'd find a way to doubt it for you
I know that i'm responsible for
The little lies i let you tell for two


7.Girl On The Roof

Is she jumping? what an evening
To admire the view
Flower in her hair
Girl on the roof

I can see her, i believe her
So would i say something true
Love is in the air
Girl on the roof

In the balance of the silence
From the street down below
Crowding is everywhere
Dying to know

I can see her, i believe her
Is she asking for proof
Love is in the air
Girl on the roof

Love is in the air
What a perfect day to find
Nothing could compare
What a waste to turn and wave goodbye

Is she thinking of the meaning
That we all want to know
Crowd is gonna stare
Girl doesn't show

I can see her, i believe her
But could i say something new
Love is in the air
Girl on the roof

Love is in the air
What a perfect day to find
Nothing could compare...


8.Elodie

Elodie you look older than you act
Elodie your face in movies makes me want to ask

Hey, elodie- with your tongue and tears
Oh, elodie- could you come down here with me

Beautiful you move, i'm thinking as i watch
We could mesmerize this town, i tremble at the thought

Hey, elodie- with your tongue and tears
Oh, elodie- could you come down here with me

Is it dangerous to be loved from afar
I don't know who you are
I only need the words to explain
Ca va? ca va?
Et tu? por quois?

Elodie you look younger than you act
Elodie your face in movies makes me want to ask

Hey elodie- with your tongue and tears
Oh, elodie- could you come down here with me


9.What's On Your Mind

We'll go out tonight
If it makes you feel better
But something is not right
So as long as we're together
Shoot straight- say what you mean
And don't delay- i need every word

I already know about the change in the weather
I already heard about the popular lie
Only you know whatever you're showing
Tell me what's on your mind

I see it in your eyes
Those pretty pictures cold and silent
But what a waste of lies
I could have stayed at home dying
There you go- sigh it away, but
Dear you don't concede any words

I already know about the change in the weather
I already read the early new york times
Only you know whatever you're showing
Tell me what's on your mind


10.What I Want To Do

What i want to do is wake up to you
Bathing in the morning's light
All i want to say is bomb's away
Could you be my girl tonight
Out here on the street we move around all that we need
So tell me

What do you believe makes the world go 'round
What do you believe makes the world go 'round

What i want to do is find something new
Shiny like a brand new toy
All i want to take is what i make
Feeling like a brand new boy
My sweet city days- i try to slide and fade away
To nothing

What do you believe makes the world go 'round
What do you believe makes the world go 'round
What do you believe makes it all keep turning as it's going down
Oh babe, you gotta know it's gonna have to go

cause lately all i know is the smile on your face
There's a feling that will grow and a doubt i can't erase
And the times i can't remember they will sink without a trace

What do you believe makes the world go 'round...


11.Venus Again

When you gonna leave me alone
Wake up and get on with your life
When you gonna pick up the phone
Can't you see i'm lonely tonight
Stranded out on venus again
Waiting for the tv to speak
Where are all my beautiful friends
Toasting off my beautiful week

Would you throw me a rope if i asked you to dance
Swallow me whole if i gave you the chance, oh yeah
Somewhere in space there's a start and an end
Show me the way cause i'm stranded on venus again
On venus again

Strolling down the length of la brea
Searching for my angels with spoons
Holding out the length of the day here
Praying for the light of the moon

Would throw me a rope if i asked you to dance...

Hung out by the neon lights
Well maybe i'm wrong for thinking i'm right
Hello, california
Can't you see i'm lonely tonight

Would you throw me a rope if i asked you to dance...


12.Figure Of Eight

Noon siesta floating off the radio
May has come to rescue central park
Watch the kids revive the sounds of mexico
It gives them a spark and something to breathe
The beauty of everything unseen

The figure of eight goes 'round
Leaves you alive where you started
It's good to be up when you're down
So what are you waiting for
If all of your past is now
The figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around

These are days you read about in magazines
These are times they used to call a book
Every option sitting here in front of me
Could give me a look, sweet on the vine
I take them back home and make them mine

The figure of eight goes 'round...

In a maze of broken dreams
It is all just what it seems
And a sweet, forgotten sound
Goes around

The figure of eight goes 'round...


13.Only In The Movies

Pack all your things up, don't get upset
Soon you should leave 'cause sooner you'll forget
Was it a dream or maybe a mess
Give you a pinch and take a wild guess

You could be mistaken, lost in how it ends
'cause only in the movies things make sense
Let every stupid story take away your doubts
'cause only in the movies things work out

God and all his angels must be surprised
At every little promise that turns into a lie
If she were a picture framed in golden wood
Could you really miss her
Would you?

Still life and memories waltz out the door
Is there relief in wanting what was yours
No friend or doctor knows what to say
Blind to forever standing in the way

You could be mistaken, lost in how it ends
'cause only in the movies things make sense
Let every stupid story take away your doubts
'cause only in the movies things work out
