Heaven And The Sea

Pete Shelley Heaven And The Sea Lyrics
1.Waiting For Love

Waiting for love
You keep me waiting for love

Sometimes i understand more than i feel
It keeps me in command of what is real
Waiting for love
You keep me waiting for love

I often wonder what i came here for
But i know it's something that i can't ignore
Waiting for love
You keep me waiting for love

There's no need in your disguise
For i've seen the colour of your eyes

Waiting for love
You keep me waiting for love

There's no need in this disguise
For i've seen the passion in your eyes

All i need is respect
All i want is a love that is real
Is that too much to expect
Am i being unreasonable
All i need is a friend
But more than a friend
But i tend to suspect
I haven't a chance of getting romance
But i guess that it'll make no difference to me

Waiting for love
You keep me waiting for love
You keep me waiting for love
You keep me waiting for love


2.On Your Own

Tomorrow's just another day
If you can make it through the night
Cos you're on your own
It's getting darker every minute
Just keep looking for the light
Cos you're on your own
Sometimes i think it's kinda funny
I just hope it turns out right
Cos you're on your own

I find it hard to recognize
All these feelings that you try to disguise

I want to tell you not to worry
There's so much that we can do
But you're on your own
There's no use in us pretending
All our alibies have fallen through
You're on your own

I find it hard to recognize
All those feelings that you tried to disguise

Life's a disaster with a heart of stone
You need some affection but you're all alone

You're on your own
You're in control
You come from nowhere
You can't go back there

You're on your own
You're on your own

Do you wake up in the middle of a dream and scream out 'loud?

Life's a disaster with a heart of stone
You need some affection but you're all alone

You're on your own
You're in control
You come from nowhere
You can't go back there

You're on your own
You're in control
You're on your own
Complete control


3.They're Coming For You

Too much thinking's a dangerous thing
You left me standing waiting on my own
All i want is a passionate relationship
You just wanna stay at home
To save money you've got to pay the price
Cos nothing's never ever really free

'stay tuned for details', was all i heard him say
I wonder what i should try and do
The phones are tapped and the television's looking at me
So how on earth can i get through
Hide in a corner wait 'til it's all over
Hold my breath until i turn blue

They're coming for you
They're coming for you
You say you care but i don't believe you do
Even though i know how hard you try
Didn't i tell you long ago
Didn't i tell you long ago

Think of tomorrow as the only time we have
Trapped between heaven and the sea
And everything that happens to you
I'm sure will happen to me
I only hope that i'm not in
When they come knocking at your door

'stay tuned for details', was all i heard him say
I wonder what i should try and do
The phones are tapped and the television's looking at me
So how on earth can i get through
Hide in a corner wait 'til it's all over
Hold my breath until i turn blue

They're coming for you
They're coming for you
You say you care but i don't believe you do
Even though i know how hard you try
Didn't i tell you long ago
Didn't i tell you long ago

Think of tomorrow as the only time we have
Trapped between heaven and the sea
And everything that happens to you
I'm sure will happen to me
I only hope that i'm not in
When they come knocking at your door

They're coming for you
They're coming for you
You say you care but i don't believe you do
Even though i know how hard you try
Didn't i tell you long ago
Didn't i tell you long ago

They're coming for you
They're coming for you
You say you care but i don't believe you do
Even though i know how hard you try
Didn't i tell you long ago
Didn't i tell you long ago


4.I Surrender

Life's like a lazy river as you slowly drift downstream
I find myself reminded just what you mean to me
The past will never leave me the future's already here
I imagine there's no escaping my deep-seated fear

I always thought you were my only friend
When i told you that i loved you did you understand
Don't wanna count on fishes in the sea
But at the time i saw the sign of how you wanted things to be

I surrender with no regret
Just remember life's not over yet

I feel you when i'm dreaming
So soft against my skin
There's no need to feel so guilty
There's no element of sin
As you reach your own conclusion
I began to lose control
Is the method in my madness
Like the sadness in my soul

I always thought you were my only friend
When i told you that i loved you did you understand
Don't wanna count on fishes in the sea
But at the time i saw the sign of how you wanted things to be

I surrender with no regret
Just remember life's not over yet

I always thought you were my only friend
When i told you that i loved you did you understand
Don't wanna count on fishes in the sea
But at the time i saw the sign of how you wanted things to be
And though you're gone i carry on though all that's left's the
memory

I surrender with no regret
Just remember life's not over yet


5.Life Without Reason

One by one
Counting the stars in the sky
I thought millions of people will die
Eventually

Life without reason just can't be believed in

On and on
Circling 'round in my head
As soon as you are born you are dead
You know that

Life without reason just can't be believed in
You know that for everything there is a season

I think about it every day
There's no escaping it anyway

Start today
Live every hour as your last
You see the future's as dead as the past
Believe me

Life without reason just can't be believed in
You know that for everything there is a season

Life without reason just can't be believed in
You know that for everything there is a season

Life without reason just can't be believed in
You know that for everything there is a season


6.Need A Minit

I need a minute to make my mind up
And you know that time is a sacrifice
In a minute i'll maybe wind up
All the dreams and desires that can't be thought of twice
Everyday i look everytime i see
Don't need a minute to make my mind up
But it's all different now that this is all happening to me
Just need a minute to make my mind up

I need a minute to make my mind up

Everyday i look and everytime i see
Don't need a minute to make my mind up
But it's all different now that this is all happening to me
Just need a minute to make my mind up

I need a minute to make my mind up
Wouldn't want to rush into a thing like this
Cos you know it's the kind of feeling
That you long for so much you cannot resist

Everyday i look everytime i see
Don't need a minute to make my mind up
But it's all different now that this is all happening to me
Just need a minute to make my mind up

I need a minute to make my mind up
Just need a minute to make my mind up
I need a minute to make my mind up
Just need a minute
Just need a minute
Just need a minute
Just need a minute


7.Never Again

When i saw you, you were not so happy
So i hung around a while
You said to me give me three good reasons
Why i should even raise a smile
Somebody told me they thought i was a sailor
They thought having fun was the answer
But you see next time could be for ever

The things i say may very well sound different
Depending on your point of view
Some kind of lovers give you creature comforts
Do anything you want them to
Somebody told me they thought i was much older
They thought having fun was the answer
But you see next time should be for ever

Never again i hear somebody saying
Will you break this heart of mine
But i can't wait not even for a moment
I'm drifting off the edge of time
You showed me things that should remain a mystery
Just like they were intended to
If i try hard and do some rearranging
I could find a place for you

You say you know but you might be mistaken
Taken for a ride again
Alone at last but this is not the first time
I hope it won't turn out the same
Somebody told me they never ever worried
They thought having fun was the answer
But you see next time will last for ever

Never again i hear somebody saying
Will you break this heart of mine
But i can't wait not even for a moment
I'm slipping off the edge of time
You showed me things that should remain a mystery
Just like they were intended to
If i try hard and do some rearranging
I could find a place for you

You told me once but say it again
It's nice to hear you say such sweet things
Hold me close closer than the last time
It's nice to feel you do such sweet things

Never again i hear somebody saying
Will you break this heart of mine
But i can't wait not even for a moment
I'm dripping off the edges of time
You showed me things that should remain a mystery
Just like they were intended to
If i try hard and do some rearranging
I could find a place for you


8.My Dreams

I see your face everywhere i go
I feel you behind me
I turn but you're not there
I call your name
And people stop and stare
It's been some time since we last met
How can i forget you
It came as news to me
Love has no guarantee

Aw i guess my dreams weren't meant to be
Oh i guess my dreams weren't meant to be
Parting's not such sweet a sorrow
But who knows how today will be

December will never seem the same
I'll always remember
Being close to you
The colour of your eyes
My favourite shade of blue
Been thinking of the fun we shared
Of course there were bad times
But perhaps what's good for me
Was all the same to you

Aw i guess my dreams weren't meant to be
Oh i guess my dreams weren't meant to be
Parting's not such sweet a sorrow
But who knows how today will be

Calm down
Take it easy
It's not the end of the world
But the chance to start something new
They say time waits for no man
But as long as i live
I'll wait for ever and ever for you

It's been some time since we last met
It was on my birthday
I'll never forget you
Though i suppose eventually i will

Aw i guess my dreams weren't meant to be
Oh i guess my dreams weren't meant to be
Parting's not such sweet a sorrow
But who knows how today will be

There are no goodbyes

Calm down
Take it easy
It's not the end of the world
But the chance to start something new
They say time waits for no man
But as long as i live
I'll wait for ever and ever for you
Aw take it easy
It's not the end of the world
But the chance to start something brand new
They say time waits for no man
But as long as i live
I'll wait for ever and forever for you

Aw i guess my dreams weren't meant to be
Oh i guess my dreams weren't meant to be
Oh i guess my dreams weren't meant to be
Oh i guess my dreams weren't meant to be


9.Blue Eyes

My aches are all aching
Opportunities taken
I'll be alright in a minute
It's funny though innit
The way that it happens

Sick and tired of this love thing
Like i'm tired of everything
I'll be alright in a minute
It's funny though innit
The way that it happens
I'll be alright in a minute
It's funny though innit
The way that it happens

Blue eyes blue eyes
I tried to teach you everything
Blue eyes blue eyes
You thought you could do anything

Your ideas of pleasure
Are best taken at leisure
I'll be alright in a minute
It's funny though innit
The way it all happens

I've this deep-felt suspicion
For your so-called tradition
I'll be alright in a minute
It's funny though innit
The way that it happens
I'll be alright in a minute
It's funny though innit
The way it all happens

Blue eyes blue eyes
You said i could do anything
But you've gone too far
Blue eyes blue eyes
You thought you would do everything
But you've gone too far

The loneliest sound i've ever heard
Was the slamming of the door
I don't know whose side you think you're on
But you make love like a tug of war

Sick and tired of this love thing
Like i'm tired of everything
I'll be alright in a minute
It's funny though innit
The way that it happens
I'll be alright in a minute
It's funny though innit
The way it all happens

Blue eyes blue eyes
I thought i'd show you everything
But you've gone too far
Blue eyes blue eyes
You wouldn't show me anything
But you've gone too far
Blue eyes blue eyes
I thought we could be anything
But you've gone too far
Blue eyes truth lies
At the center of everything
But you've gone too far
But you've gone too far
But you've gone too far
But you've gone too far


10.You Can't Take That Away

You're so different
You remind me a lot of myself
A few years ago maybe
No regrets
I've often wondered what i'd do
If i had my time again

Daydreaming's easy
But living life is strictly one way
No turning back
No map
We all go astray
Still i guess i'm telling you something
That you could testify

As time passes by
I still don't know why
You've taken every thing from me but love

I tried to reason with you
But you had made up your mind
We argued in whispers
If i live till i die
I never want to go to hell again

The phases of the moon
The seasons the years won't erase
The silent echo of your dream in my heart
My eyes are burning
Tears are running down my cheeks
As i start to cry

As time passes by
I still don't know why
You've taken every thing from me but love
As time passes by
I still don't know why
You've taken every thing from me but love

Oh you can't take that away from me
Oh no you can't take that away from me
There is no future and the past is all lies
But with each heartbeat another part of me dies
You can't take that away from me

As time passes by
I still don't know why
You've taken every thing from me but love
As time passes by
I still don't know why
You've taken every thing from me but love

Oh you can't take that away from me
Oh no you can't take that away from me
There is no future and the past is all lies
But with each heartbeat another part of me dies
Oh you can't take that away from me
Oh no you can't take that away from me
Oh no you can't take that away from me
Oh no you can't take that away from me
Oh no you can't take that away from me


11.No Moon

You're not of this world
You shine above me
I reflect below
You're so familiar
Yet ever changing
You go where i go

But sometimes when i really need you
I look for you and find you've gone

Will i escape from
This empty feeling
So lonely inside
Could i get thunder
To sing of silence
And surge with the tide

But sometimes when i really need you
I look for you and find you've gone

I know you'll come back
You won't forsake me
So i'll just carry on

But sometimes when i really need you
I look for you and find you've gone

I know you'll come back
You won't forsake me
So i'll just carry on
