1.The City
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
(Won't let this city destroy our love)
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't let this city, won't let this city
(Won't let this city destroy our love)
Won't let this city, won't let this city
You know I, I hate to see you cry
But when you open up to me
I take you in my arms
Wish you the top, top, top, top of the morning
No, I don't care 'bout cash, no careers
Your losses or your arrears
I take you in my arms
Wish you the top, top, top, top of the morning
I won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city destroy my love
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
No, I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Talk to me, let me shed some light on your dark
Help you see, how darling you've left your mark
On my life and the beautiful around
When I see you, top, top, top, top of the morning
I was lost until that night we kissed
Given up on life, so darling, know this
You're worth more than how this city lets you down
When I see you, top, top, top, top of the morning
I won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city destroy my love
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
No, I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let this city destroy our love
I won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city destroy my love
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
No, I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city, won't, won't let this city
Won't let this city, won't, won't let this city
Won't let this city, won't, won't let this city
Won't let this city, won't, won't let this city
No, no, no, no
Not about the debts you made, the car we never had
The house we never owned, darling, don't look so sad
It's about that day we kissed up by Niagara Falls
It's about the keys, the keys, the keys to my heart you hold
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
(The top, top, top, top of the morning)
Won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city destroy my love
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let the city destroy our love
Won't let the city destroy my love
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
No, I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let the city destroy our love
Won't let the city, won't, won't let the city
Won't let the city, won't, won't let the city
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
No, I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let the city destroy our love
2.House
Oh, I love this house, I love this house
Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known
Oh, I love to hear those conkers fall
Smash 'em on an Southwark stone
And I love that here you live with me
Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known
'Cause I've been too long a lonely man
Yes, I've been too long a rolling stone
So let seasons turn
Grow paradise garden
And to my migration
The native has returned
Oh, I love the curling of your hair
Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known
I see Dylan Thomas in your face
Recited Butler Yeats there in your grace
Your grace, your grace
So let seasons turn
Grow paradise garden
And to my migration
The native has returned
Returned
Returned
And if I had to die today
Scatter my ashes on this place
And I live on in your grieving heart
But until that day that we depart
Oh, this is the greatest peace I've ever known
Oh, the greatest peace I've ever known
Oh, the greatest peace I've ever known
Only love makes house a home
Home
Home
Home
This house is home
Home
3.Bermondsey Street
She kisses him on Bermondsey Street
And rises high on the balls of her feet
Declares this the greatest love
Of the century
He fumbles for a wedding ring
She's no, no clone from Vogue magazine
She is complex in all her complexions
Love is here to heal
And I'm so proud of you but now you must too
Take pride with what this love you do
He kisses him on Bermondsey Street
And standing brave on the balls of his feet
Declares this the greatest love
Of the century
He fumbles for a wedding ring
He's no, no clone from Colt magazines
He is complex in all his complexions
Love is here to heal
And I'm so proud of you, now you must too
Take pride with what this love you do
Now you know, love knows no boundaries
Sees beyond sexuality
And holds the sun in the palm of its hand
And laughs down on the cynical man
Hear what I say, hear what I see
When two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street
Regardless of religion, braver than any faith
No fear of society evolves you and me
Love, whoa
And two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street now
Two kisses sweet
Two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street now
And two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street now
Two kisses sweet on Bermondsey Street
4.The Future
Summer in San Francisco
Kissing chlorine in the swimming pool
Out of fuel at the Phoenix motel
I slept alone again that night
And sweet dreams of Mother Ireland
And Father Albion
Sweet dream
That you'll come near, I see my future clear
And the threshold appears
And I am carrying you over, carrying you over
You come near, I see my future clear
And the threshold appears
And I am carrying you over, carrying you over
Into the hallway of our new home
Chaos outside
But I've got your back
We've got our own paradise
And we are private worlds away from
Public eyes
I say I love you more than my life
Truth completely
You come near, I see my future clear
And the threshold appears
And I am carrying you over, carrying you over
You come near, I see my future clear
And the threshold appears
And I am carrying you over, carrying me over
Into the best days of the rest days of our lives
Into the future
Carrying you over, carrying you over
Into the future
Carrying me over
5.Armistice
Coat of black, coat of black
Weary waiting, weary waiting
I turn out the light, we kiss goodnight
And weary waiting
Weary waiting to come closer
Closer to where we belong
Outside the city children brandish
Sharp their knives
Sharpen knives and come closer
Closer to where we belong
If you'll be weak then I'll be strong
When the night is long, oh
Trust all the years you'll wait to find
This man who's loved you your whole life
So come closer
Closer to where we belong
Just close your eyes, let those foxes fight
The children of this city sharp their knives
Come closer
Closer to where we belong
And if I be weak, won't you be strong？
When the night is long
If I'll be weak
Chomreedhoo, chomreedhoo
When the night is long
Close your eyes, let the foxes fight
Close your eyes
Come closer to where we belong
Where we belong
When the night is long
When the night is long
6.William
And I showed you my ugly heart
Yet you did not surrender
Love me back to life
Through my self destruction, December
All paranoia's to trust
I turned my bodies functions, I remembered
So 'til the going down of suns
Oh William, will you be my conqueror？
7.Time Of My Life
From the east to the south
I tongue the roof of my mouth
To new days of doubt without you
First gear
I face the trouble ahead
Final word's been said
Long distance spread between us
I tell myself to
Hold on, won't be long
Till I grow through this struggle
Time to wake up
Find my soul
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Not called for weeks now
It's six days without sleep means
I am a slave to my early grave
If I do not be brave, behave
Seize myself out of this mess
I have created of myself yet again
Yet again I say
Hold on, won't be long
Till I grow through this struggle
Time to wake up
Find my soul
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
We go on, heart beats strong
Still whole, unbroken
As we divide our love goodbye
Thanks for the time, time of my life
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Time, time of my life
Time, time of my life
(So happy without you)
Time, time of my life
Thanks for the time of my life
(Happy without you, happy without you)
Happy without you
8.The Days
The days, passing days
I see the steeple and trace to the spire
And the sunset
Deepening red
Phoenix and the firefly
And the time stops
Rush hour traffic slows
And my heart starts beating this dark
Through old flesh and cold bones
And I long to be carried on
Just once to be lifted strong
Out of the loneliness and the emptiness
Of the days
Days, passing days
The days I remember
I had your love once
Seized my body whole
And our first dance
Well, I thought by chance
God had matched my soul
But time bought its traveling
This distance and solitude
And in that traveling, myself damaging
I took my love far, far from you
But don't you still long to be carried on？
Once more I could lift you strong
Out of the loneliness and the emptiness
Of the days
Passing days
Passing days
Days
Now tell me
Have we gone too far or did we get too close？
Forgive me, Father, I've no son, here come, ghost
I promise I'll meet you
I'll meet you at the end of the days
The days, passing days
Won't you meet me at the end of the days？
9.Slow Motion
Before you, I was living
In my silverfish kitchen
Fruit fly clouds breathing
No hope, no religion
The nightmare on Haslett Road
I was too young to weep from the road
Too proud for health, too scared to grow
Out of my depth and out of control
I was so lonely there
Living in slow motion, breathless corrosion
Waiting for the kiss of life
Slow motion, breathless corrosion
Waiting for the kiss of life, the kiss of life
Waiting for your kiss of life
City rumors, spreading deep water, both treading
Yes, I was too young to weep from the road
And too proud for help, too scared to grow
Out of my depth and out of control
The strangers meet in
Slow motion, breathless devotion
That night you gave me the kiss of life
Slow motion, breathless, breathless
That night you gave me the kiss of life
The kiss of life
That night you saved me
With the kiss of life
Wake me out of that deep sleep, darlin'
Wake me out of that deep sleep, darlin'
Wake me out of that deep sleep, darlin'
Wake me out of that deep sleep, darlin'
With your kiss
Wake me out of that deep sleep
Deep sleep, darlin'
Deep sleep, darlin'
10.Together
Alone again in Paris
Travel drained I write to you
You've been on my mind
Cold days, long nights
A rooftop in Berlin I call
Confess the state I'm in
These cities, this view
I see nothing without you
And I can do this alone
But we can do this so much better
Together, together, together
And I can make it alone
But we can make it so much better
Together, together, together, together
London Bridge, the rain at last
Back in these arms again
I'm sorry I hurt you
I hurt me too
Forgive my jealousy
That's not the man I long to be
By your side my whole life
True love knows no sacrifice
And I can do this alone
But we can do this so much better
Together, together, together
And I can make it alone
We can make it so much better
Together, together, together, together
Together
Together
I put my honor in waste
Pull you closer and embrace
So divided we fall
But stronger we stand
Together
Together
Together
Together
Together
11.The Falcons
Looking up, up, up for love finally
Hey, hey
Fire, fire
Down in the foundry
We forge for us the changing bell
Turn your back against the winds
Spit down the wishing well
With nothing left to waste but opportunity
To be the lovers we have longed to be
Now things are looking up, up, up for you
Looking up, up, up for me
Looking up, up, up for us
Finally
We cross the border line
To wake the sleep of color under wind turbines
Look at the rusting of the old machinery
Rusted away, a part of history
Now things are looking up, up, up for you
Looking up, up, up for me
Looking up, up, up for us
Hey, finally
We crossed the border line
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up, up, up
What brings you joy will take your tears
You've been holding back too many years
But you were down and out of luck
Now side by side, we're looking up
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Finally
Looking up, up, up for you
Looking up, up, up for me
Looking up, up, up for us
Time to ring that changing bell
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up
