Fly Yellow Moon

Fyfe Dangerfield Fly Yellow Moon Lyrics
1.When You Walk in the Room

In this moment
No-one is pulling me down into the ground
In this moment
No-one is pulling me down into the ground

I can't help it if I'm happy
I can't help it if I'm happy not to be sad
'Cause when you walk in the room
I see things that I can't understand

I want you endlessly, I want you endlessly
I want you endlessly

I was tired
Working myself into an early grave
I was lonely
Trying to teach myself how to behave
But these things have their own patterns
These things are fathomlessly out of our hands
'Cause when you walk in the room
I know my life's never going to be planned

All of these old addresses
ALL of these empty guesses
You carry all of their weight on your back

I want you endlessly, I love you endlessly,
I love you endlessly, I want you endlessly
In this moment (I want you endlessly)
No-one is pulling me down into the ground
In this moment (I want you endlessly)
No-one is pulling me down into the ground

2.So Brand New

Fly yellow moon
You put the smile back on my face
Fly yellow moon
Fare you well

Fly yellow moon
You give this charmless world some grace
and I don't know how you
do all of those things you do
They're so brand new
So brand new

Once I was livid
Once I was in hate
Once I was Lear on the rocks

The coast collapses
Autumn leaves without a trace
We're rolling down a hill
Yet our bodies lie here still
They're so brand new
So brand new

The coast collapses
Autumn leaves without a trace
and all I want to do
Is run circles around you
You're so brand new
So brand new....

3.Barricades

When love is a crippled dream
When love is a crippled dream
That's where you'll find me
Saying I'm not afraid
And when love is a barricade
When love is a barricade
That's where I'll find you
Saying we're already made

I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
Don't go away

When love is a howling face
Trapped in a hollow place
I won't surrender
or give you up
So don't put up these barricades
We don't need barricades
We have each other
And that won't fade

I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
Don't go away
To the dark, to the smoke
To those downstairs
No fares
I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day

4.High on the Tide

There's salt in the air, it's a taste that I know
and the memory of you has started to go
Sometimes we live just to get thrown
And so a cheap train ticket
is carrying me back to my home
High on the tide
Chasing my demons away completely
High on the tide
Can in my hand going down so sweetly
High on the tide
Don't wake me up and tell me that I'm dreaming
it's just how I am

Stumbling barefoot over the sands
With no-one and nothing at my command
But with the waves on the shore and the sea in my hair
I can honestly say this
I really and truly don't care
High on the tide
Killing my boredom by doing nothing
High on the tide
Finally this world resembles something
High on the tide
Oh who needs friends when all they have opinions
Hey I'm doing fine.

For once in my life
I'm glad to be here not there
High on the tide
Sun falling down but it feels like morning
High on the tide
Tomorrow is just an idea
On the high tide
Don't wake me up and tell me that you're leaving
I already know


End


5.Faster Than the Setting Sun

When there's storm clouds higher than heaven
And there's angels defeating themselves
And you can't get past half past eleven
Without feeding the sharks on the shelf

then...
Faster than the setting sun we'll run away
Faster than the setting sun
Faster than the setting sun we'll run away

When you can't sleep for all of these visions
of the iridescent lands
and you can't reach a single decision
without your wet face kissing your hands
Then throw it to the sand
(breathe it in, breathe it out)
Try to understand
Love lands
Faster than the setting sun
Faster than the setting sun we'll run away
Faster than the setting sun
Faster than the setting sun...
No they don't slow dance I'll need no more
No they don't slow dance I'll need no more
No they don't slow dance I'll need no more
No they don't slow dance I'll need no more
Faster than the setting sun we'll run away
Faster than the setting sun
No they don't slow dance I'll need no more
No they don't slow dance I'll need no more
No they don't slow dance I'll need no more
No they don't slow dance I'll need no more
No more
No more
No more

6.Livewire

There was a crack in your smile the day you were born
You're out on the pull and it's making you yawn
Good samaritans never play their part
Come round, let me put my hands around your heart

Livewire, your life is in the fire
We've got everything to play for
1-1, half time
Livewire, the world is yours to hire
We've got everything to live for
Don't kick it all the time

Standing in the borough markets selling straws
People just stare at you and gawp
You'd like to say you're wasted,
but it's not the alcohol
that's making you feel like a flat spare wheel

Livewire, your life is in the fire
We've got everything to play for
1-1, half time
Livewire, the world is yours to hire
We've got everything to live for
Don't kick it all the time

Helicopters hover over the street
There's always somebody else you're dying to meet
And you're always getting older
That's the deepest thought you can commit to paper
As the nights get later
Livewire, your life is in the fire
We've got everything to play for
1-1, half time
Livewire, the world is yours to hire
We've got everything to live for
Don't kick it all the time

7.Firebird

Firebird come into me tonight
Stay awake with me through this dark night
We can ride til the morning light
On a bicycle made for two
On a bicycle made for two

Hush for the baby lies asleep in the hay
And if we should wake him we'll be turned stony grey
Silence is golden and it's ours today
On a bicycle made for two
On a bicycle made for two

Some come higher, some come low
Some come demon-faced, some come slow
Some come beautiful, helpless and warm
like the first drop of water after the storm

Firebird stay with me tonight
All the world is asleep
The world is alright
And as long as you're mine we can conquer light
On a bicycle made for two
On a bicycle made for two

8.She Needs Me

When my days are rolling stones
When my memories ring like telephones

And I'll have somewhere I can go
I'll have comfort, this one thing I know

You pull another blanket round me
Yeah you, pull another blanket round me

This is where I want to be
This is where I want to be
She needs me
She needs me
She needs me
And it's okay

Silver thunder, turquoise stream
Leaves of amber, fields of emerald green
You sketch all those shades on me
I am yours, you can do what you like with me

Yeah you, pull another blanket round me
Yeah you, you pull another blanket round me

'Cause this is where I want to be
This is where I want to be
She needs me
She needs me
She needs me
And it's okay

This is where I want to be
This is where I want to be

This is where I want to be
This is where I want to be

I am yours, you can do what you like with me
I am yours, you can do what you like with me
I am yours, you can do what you like with me, with me

If I'm still there in the setting sun
We'll run
Away


End


9.Don't Be Shy

Don't be shy
It'll get you nowhere
I was shy
And it got me nowhere
And I feel like turning into a boy again

When you're young
Buckets don't have holes in
Days are long
And summer always rolls in
bowls in
And you feel like turning to the sky and crying
'stay, stay, stay'

And if the truth is what you want
Then things aren't looking good
There've been dreams in my life
But they rot away like wood

In a good year
One or two may come true
But dreams aren't really dreams are they
Once they've come true
They just vanish within you

So don't be cold when a lover calls you
Go to her, ask her to sing for you
Adore you
And she'll make you feel like you're a boy again
For a moment that will pass
For a moment that will pass


End


10.Any Direction

The boy in the iron mask with wire for brains
is firing bows and arrows wherever he thinks it should rain
Yeah he's drunk too much coffee once again

This could go in any direction
Any direction at all
This could go in any direction
Any direction at all

Our memories in the cupboard are getting up and walking
And there's life going on but we're too busy talking
What I am trying to say
Is that we're losing our way
But this could go in any direction
Any direction at all
This could go in any direction
Any direction at all

And some heart is always going to get broken
And somebody's always going to crack
Something is always going to be incomplete
But you have to stop this looking back

This could go in any direction
Any direction at all
This could go in any direction
Any direction at all

You could go in any direction
Any direction at all
Yeah this could go in any direction
Any direction at all

Any direction
Any direction at all
This could go in any direction
Any direction at all

This could go in any direction
Any direction at all
This could go in any direction
Any direction at all
