Modern English Mesh&Lace Lyrics
1.Gathering Dust

The pressure's on no time to lose (x4)

Inspiring dreams all shattered and blown away
Gathering dust the band played on again
Personal reasons are problems in the way
Waking up with just enough time to spare

La la la la la la la la la (x2)

Searching out thoughts we set ourselves a sight
Power and death are always on our minds
The cause is laid out, no looking back for me
The future holds the key for us to see

La la la la la la la la la (to fade)


2.Sixteen Days

Sixteen days no bread and water
Sixteen days no light of day
Sixteen days without liquid on my stomach
Sixteen days without sun on my back
Sixteen days without ideas in my head
Sixteen days with writing on my hands

Sixteen days


3.Just A Thought

Reckless i feel, reckless i feel
It's something ideal, it's something ideal

Space between the thoughts and acts
A mind ? see us ? pay the way
Who knowingly mowed us
Who seemingly owed us

? cast aside
From the wreckage to the tide
Feel the touch of excitement while
Adrenaline ?
Oh ?
They were too young
They were too young

Use your knowledge
Use your knowledge
Feel the words
Feel the words

A time to act now
A time to ?
Now relax boys
Now relax

Just a thought, just a thought
Just a thought, just a thought
Just a thought, just a thought
Just a thought, just a thought
Just a thought, just a thought
For you to face
Just a thought, just a thought
For you to face
Just a thought, just a thought
For you to face
Just a thought

? cast aside
From the wreckage to the tide
Feel the touch of excitement while
Adrenaline ?
Oh ?
They were too young
They were too young
They were too young
They were too young


4.Move In Light

Constantly moving, countryside lives
Idle chatter, ?ing lips
Lean your head back, light it up again
Another watch another stage
Another building and another grave
Exuberance leads to exhaustion
Exuberance leads to exhaustion

The secret's come out, the ? stay in
? against lucid skin
Another beer another grin
Talking turns to empty faces
Don't forget and light it up again
Exuberance leads to exhaustion
Exuberance leads to exhaustion

More ?
More laughs more frowns
Dawn to dark
Moving
Move in light, reach out and see
Feel the moon touch, what shall it be?
Move in light, reach out and see
Feel the moon touch, what shall it be?
Exuberance leads to exhaustion
Exuberance leads to exhaustion

Exuberance leads to exhaustion
Exuberance leads to exhaustion
Exuberance leads to exhaustion
Exuberance leads to exhaustion
Exuberance leads to exhaustion
Exuberance leads to exhaustion


5.Grief

Tears are moving down your face
Etching lines across your skin
Clutching ? warm and dry
An ice cold grip is on my mind
Why do you do this to me?

Watching from a distance
I'm so helpless
What do i say?
How should i act?
Tears are moving down my face
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this to me?


6.The Token Man

What do you feel when you see
The token man in passing crowds?
A rush of thought and imagery
Do you turn your eyes away?
Does it leave you all full of options
Or is there nothing to think about?
Another lost man to join the millions
Fill him up, he will respond
Fill him up, he will respond

Fill him up, he will respond

Cuts him down
Catch the clown
Catch the clown
Drag him down
Dragged him down
Who is he to want to think?
Who is he to want to want?
He's no sensation
He must be wrong
Drag him down
No place to think, no time to act
You can ?
You can ?

Fill him up, he will respond

What do you feel when you see
The token man in passing crowds?
A rush of thought and imagery?
Do you turn your eyes away?

8.Black Houses

Sunday morning, the sun is shining, peacefully
Ball games in the park, joyfully
The car's being cleaned again, the grass is mowed
A sudden feeling, the wind is building, the clouds are forming
I tried to move
I tried to think
I tried to live

The format's changing, the colours different, breathing in
Concentrated, ?, touch my skin
Turned the tap off, stumbled backwards, my mind exploded
A distant rumbling, my body's aching, my eyes are burning
I tried to move
I tried to think
I tried to live

White houses last longer
They go in the end


Go to the baby in a black house
Read all about it, read all about it, read all about it, read
all about it
Move to the coast
Keep to your community, keep to your community,
Keep to your community, keep to your community,
You can't take it with you
Religion can't help, religion can't help, religion can't help,
religion
Can't help

Sunday morning, the sun is shining, peacefully
Ball games in the park, joyfully
The car's being cleaned again, the grass is mowed
A sudden feeling, the wind is building, the clouds are forming
I tried to move
I tried to think
I tried to live


9.Dance Of Devotion(A Love Song)

You didn't know how much i wanted you
You didn't know how much i needed you
Shadows on the wall, staring from the bags
Pent-up frustration, failed to explode
Got a tear in the eye --
You didn't want me

You didn't know how much i wanted you
You didn't know how much i needed you
How much i longed for you
And from my head to my heart to the space above the door
You didn't know how much i wanted you
You didn't know how much i needed you

You didn't know?
You didn't know?
You didn't know?
You didn't know?
You didn't know?
You didn't know?
You didn't know?
You didn't know?
