Ricochet Days

Modern English Ricochet Days Lyrics
1.Rainbow's End

Are you sleeping with the stars tonight
Or are you blue with cold
Leaving imprints on your forehead the floor is cracked and old
Nice and easy
See the city
The boys are clothed in threads of gold rainbow's end for ????

Rooms to let in rainbow's end there's always some
Rooms to let in rainbow's end there's always more than one

Wake up to another high day (it's a high day)
Open front or quick in the back
Just like seeing your hips way
It's over don't look back

Rooms to let in rainbow's end there's always some
Rooms to let in rainbow's end there's always more than one (x2)

Repeat 1st verse

Repeat chorus to fade


2.Machines

Old machinery's broken down
There's no new past there's no new sound
What would you do if they crumbled to the ground
Wake up you must be dreaming

Changes in our lives
We'll make it in the end
Machinery's broken in two
What are we to do?

Where were you when the day caved in
It seems the streets were the place to be
Something quite disturbing filled the air
Wake up you must be dreaming (what an uneasy feeling)

Machine fell down and smashed the ground
People cried for miles around
Well that's what someone said
Wake up you must be dreaming (a quite uneasy feeling)

What are we to do?


3.Spinning Me Round

When someone close is always on your mind
A memory of a place, another day and time
Some would say you died and left your heart behind
But it's with your heart you're searching all the time

I want you with me
I need you near me
I want so much from you anew

The dreams we had were rather common line
And in their wake there came the fear you'd changed your mind

Spinning me spinning me round spinning me
Spinning me, spinning me, spinning me round

I want you with me
I need you near me
I want so much from you anew

And if you lose your mind
Never leave your heart behind
To find yourself is worth the waiting
Finding, then really living

Spinning me spinning me round spinning me
Spinning me, spinning me, spinning me round

I want you with me
I need you near me
I want so much from you anew


4.Ricochet Days

Come on down with me
I'll show you sights you've never seen
The end is near for you and for me

Come inside and feel
There's so much here and something tells me it's for real
Hiding behind the walls and windows
Keeping away from the questions on your tongue

In a room in a house in a dream
No one's too sure whose dream it is we're living in
If it's real, that's a brand new deal
Ricochet days welcome to reality

Radio holds your confidences
You're never quite on your own
A secret kept in silhouettes
Something eats you deep inside

In a room in a house in a dream
No one's too sure whose dream it is we're living in
If it's real, that's a brand new deal
Ricochet days welcome to reality

The walls move in and cramp your comforts
Windows aren't for looking through

Someone calls your name but your name was a stranger to you
It doesn't matter doesn't matter
Take me by the hand this is all i can offer you


5.Hands Across The Sea

Come with me
Close your eyes and touch what greets you there
Reaching out
Stretch your hands across the sea
Come with me
Close your eyes and touch what meets you there
Reaching out
Stretch your hands across the sea

Sitting in my room, nothing much to say
I heard you calling a thousand miles away
I did not mean to hurt you, you took me by surprise
There is still a chance if we just close our eyes

Oooooh lady

Come with me
Close your eyes and touch what greets you there
Reaching out
Stretch your hands across the sea
Come with me
Close your eyes and touch what meets you there
Reaching out
Stretch your hands across the sea

I can't explain this feeling
I won't begin to try
There is still a chance if we just close our eyes


6.Blue Waves

Is it something in the water
Did it fall from out the sky
I've never known a feeling like it
I wonder why

I've got the power to stop the race
That way i'm winning and it helps me through the night
It means so much for me to
I've got the power to stop the race

Why do i feel so peculiar
Do i look a little strange
Who's that smiling in the mirror, it's me

Hey there what's your name
I feel that i should talk to you
Hey there what's your name
I've never seen the sky so blue


7.Heart

Here's the news for the special day
He's lost his love the warm feeling has gone away
It leaves him colder than the night
No rhyme or reasoning will help tonight

And though he's staring at the wall again
He knows that it's not over

Heart in him, he'll feel it
Heart in him, he'll need it
To find the words to say when love comes 'round again

Something stirred in his heart today
Felt the need to hold her in his arms again
It seems to make no sense at all
Just when the ice was melting

And though he's staring at the wall again
He knows it's far from over

Love is all that, all that we deserve
Love is all that, all that we deserve

They necked and talked all night
Candlelight and accusations
Mistakes misunderstandings, stupid human failures
It doesn't matter when you're bored with love


8.Chapter 12

Have you seen the book today
It's full of lies again
Your name stands out so clear
The signature is there
It's always true
This book they write for you

They'll never let you be yourself today

Have you seen the book today
It'll be the same tomorrow
Yesterday i stole a look
It always seems the same
It's always true
This book they write for you

They'll never let you be yourself today

The page they're on is never clear
Teaching all the way
Chapter 12 is quite sincere
Even though it's yesterday

It's always true
It's always true
It's always true
This book they write for you
It's always true
This book they write for you

They'll never let you be yourself today


9.Ringing In The Change(B-Side With Cd Release)

Reflection (b-side)

'twas a new kind of morning
All reflection and rain
But the horizon interrupted my drawing
Feeling low low low low low
And the fire
Now's the turnaround
Here's the warning
Have you seen too much today
Coming going from the world again


10.Breaking Away(Demo)

Long days and stormy weather
The same old road today
There's only one way up or down
Be free was all they said to me
And now i'm breathing in again
Breaking away run run run away

Just here and gone another day
Nothing much to say
There's only one way in or out
Be free was all they said to me
And now i'm breathing in again

Here it comes again for all to see
Make way for old hypocrisy
There's only way right or wrong
Be free was how you're meant to be
And now i'm breathing again

You know it (x4)

Breaking away (run run run away)
