1.Put The Phone Down
Broken bottles in the doorway
and I've been thinking have it your way
Take the night train right to Jersey
I'll leave you broken, I'll leave you wealthy
oh these eyes
oh please put the phone down, put the phone down
lie with me tonight
oh please put the phone down, put the phone down
lie with me tonight
oh please put the phone down oh please put the phone down
Beneath the violence when it's raining
your words just stare cold and do my head in
take the fast lane, chase the dream down
tonight the motorway is like a ghost town
oh these eyes
Oh please put the phone down, put the phone down
lie with me tonight
Oh please put the phone down, put the phone down
lie with me tonight
Like you know you should
Like you know you should
Like you know you should
Like you know you should
oh please put the phone down
I won't forget you, won't forget you
see these troubled eyes that smile
this city is a graveyard, it's a graveyard
streetlights show us cold and hard
oh these eyes
Oh please put the phone down, put the phone down
lie with me tonight
Oh please put the phone down, put the phone down
lie with me tonight
Oh please put the phone down, put the phone down
lie with me tonight
Oh please put the phone down, put the phone down
lie with me tonight
like you know you should
like you know you should
like you know you should
like you know you should
oh please put the phone down
2.Light You Up
We often asked my honest friend
If we'd hold on tight till the end
Your knowing smile just breaks me down
And leaves fighting words in my mouth
I will light you up, I will light you up
For you and I, love was a fire escape
For you and I, lived on broken faith
For you and I , today is not the ending
Today is not the ending you would like
Without these lights to lead us home
We're just drifting blind out here alone
What we forgive, what we forget
I'll be a martyr in your background
whispering words of faithfulness
I will light you up...
For you and I, love was a fire escape
For you and I, lived on broken faith
For you and I, stood tall until the ending
Today is not the ending you would like
Now the silence chokes, talk to me my friend
Am I not a victim, tell me why I should pretend
When the silence breaks, faces in the room
People gaping wide-eyed, at the space from me to you
People gaping wide eyed, at the space from me to you
For you and I, love was a fire escape
For you and I, lived on broken faith
For you and I, stood tall until the ending
Today is not the ending you would like...
3.Bluff
It ain't kind and it ain't right,
but when you wore away the shine what did you find...
Still you would say you're not afraid,
to lay down your bones on the bed you made...
Someone made a sound, it turned you right round,
I wasn't cold enough to care, but brother I dared
See it tear you up,and it calls your bluff
When the lie that keeps you warm,
is the truth you're counting on
There's a shadow in the sun,
and it crawls along the path in whence you've come from
It's not as clear as you had planned
Feel the sun go down, turn and make your stand
I wasn't cold enough to care, but brother I dared
Someone made a sound and it turned you right round
See it tear you up, and it calls your bluff
When the lie that keeps you warm,
is the truth you're counting
Up in the cloud, tell me sister are you coming down
Someone made a sound and it turned you right round
I wasn't cold enough to care, but brother I dared
See it tear you up, and it calls your bluff
When the lie that keeps you warm,
is the truth you're counting on
4.Ain't No Life
I'll ask you to leave here tonight, you knew it was planned
When the world takes your heart from the fight
You do what you can
You're living here lost in the land
So brother don't force my hand
Please let's see the forest for the trees
Cos it's time to rise up;it's time to rise up from your knees
This ain't no life for us my brother
This ain't no life for us my brother
You're blind to all the colors, of the life you could discover
This house feels cold, abandoned and quiet
A son needs a warm hand to hold and home that's kind
A father who will stand in the light
I won't watch you die inside
For a love that was lost in the mire
But it's time rise up, it's time to rise up from your knees
This ain't no life for us my brother
This ain't no life for us my brother
This ain't no life for us my brother
You're blind to all the colors of the life you could discover
The depth you've found, is a trick of the mind
Is there hope for the man whose life has let him down
There's enough of those ghosts in this town
I've seen it drag good men down
Free up the shame in your pain
And let it rise up, let it rise up from the flame
This ain't no life for us my brother
This ain't no life for us my brother
This ain't no life for us my brother
You're blind to all the colors of the life you could discover...
You're blind to all the colors of the life you could discover...
5.Up On The Bridge
We watched the train head out, and vanish from our sight
The light upon this bridge seems no lonelier than I
Oh, I'm going nowhere
Oh, I'm going nowhere
We walked across these fields to stop at our front gate
This house seems empty now, he asks if we will stay
Ah, I'm going nowhere
Oh...
Slipping out the front door, ready to ignore
All that sleeps tonight, in the lonely hours
Oh, I'm going nowhere
Oh, I'm going nowhere
Oh, I'm going nowhere
Oh, I'm going nowhere...
6.Where Does It Begin
Tell me are you out there,
is there nothing here to tame the human heart
I see a land that's ruthless,
yet where each shadow ends a life begins to start
We broke the backs of strangers
Where are their wives and children now？
We'll raise a rag of hope then tear it down
Our focus is feeling
Our focus is feeling
We've put up these walls,
but out there it's cold
Our focus is feeling
Pulls you to the window,
there's a crack and then your eyes begin to sting
Down there in the street,
their falling tears settle in the dust of kings
We thought the land was changing
We knew the change was in our hearts
We saw the light make shadows of the dark
Our focus is feeling
Our focus is feeling
We've put up these walls,
but out there it's cold
Our focus is feeling
There's too many lies; there's too many thieves
There's too many Gods, there's none I believe
Our nations are blind, our cities are wild
The world we have now has the let the innocent down...
7.What Is Real. What Is Doubt
You notice how the talking never stops？
One millions mouths knew what they had lost
We're all looking for a face that we can blame
We'll lie down and ease our shame
We're going to need the wise to dig us out
We're going to need the kind that fill our mouths
The crying shame about all these guns and steel
Is there need and their cold appeal
Seasons change the truth becomes plain
We lost all of our heads then
The lie we defended became easy to ignore
And now we can't see it anymore
(We're going to need the kind that fill our hearts, fill our
mouth)
8.Today I Feel Sure
9.Midnight Fires
Our brothers waged a lonely fight,
while the bottom reaches out
Our leaders in the hall tonight
try to talk this country down
Light up the land that crowned you
Take up the call around you
We're all under the microscope searching for the fire
We've surrendered a kind of hope searching for the fire
Who will see the crime in every face？
Who will face the fire then turn away
Who has spoken out,stand or be put down
Who will face the wise, and watch the system die
Someone set the hills alight with a blinding midnight fire
A history worth of a nation's crime, lie atop this funeral pyre
See how the world has found you
Hiding from what surrounds you
We're all under the microscope searching for the fire
We surrendered a kind of hope searching for the fire
Who will see the crime in every face？
Who will face the fire then turn away
Who has spoken out,stand or be put down
Who will face the wise, and watch the system die
Who will see the crime in every face？ (are we coming undone？)
Who will face the fire then turn away？ (are we coming undone？)
Who has spoken out, stand or be put down
Who will face the wise, then watch the system die...
10.Wooden Bones
Our suicide was waiting at the door
We'd clawed and crawled our way across the floor
The record that we'd played a thousand times
We're still alive, still alive in our minds
We've wooden bones, wooden bones
We've wooden bones, wooden bones
We've wooden bones, wooden bones
We couldn't find a way to save our heads
We couldn't find a god that even cared
When all of this descended into ash
What did they do, did they do with the guns and cash？
We've wooden bones, wooden bones
We've wooden bones, wooden bones
We've wooden bones, wooden bones
We've wooden bones, wooden bones
We've wooden bones, wooden bones......
Don't miss the point now
Don't shut your eyes dear
Our time is soon up
Our days are numbered here
We'd rape our own world
And we'd rip the Gods down
Then leave the child with the hell we'd found.....
