1.Your Ex - Lover Is Dead
When there is nothing left to burn
You have to set yourself on fire
God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
You tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
And now you're outside me you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
It's nothing but time and a face that you'll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road, from real love
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
There's one thing I have to say so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
2.Set Yourself On Fire
In a village in the hills
House buried to the window sills in snow
In a prison yard at night
An Alsatian barking for the stars to go
In the attic of a house
In the slats of light which creep across the room
In a forest grove at dawn
Where the animals sleep hidden in the gloom
On the 97th floor overlooking Tokyo
In Camden road in a second floor flat with Dilworth down below
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
In a cancer ward where the patients sit
Waiting patiently to die
In an airplane high above
The place you finally left behind
In a cage where only one thing could be free
And it's not you and I
In every single place that has ever ever been
Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
One thing...
In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen
In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen
In the diary of a priest
In the sheets that lie upon his bed
Out there amongst the waves
And inside your lover's head
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
There is only one...thing
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
Ten years on the coast figuring out the weather
Another decade getting high until you're free
There's nothing after that but you and I
Nothing after that but you and me
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
3.Ageless Beauty
Ageless beauty
Cruelty makes its holes
But on the shoreline
Time will hold its promise
We will always be a light
You can see it on the surface
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface
We will always be a light
Tattered fingers
Linger on the warm and foolish
Hardened faces
Graceless
We'll lose the battle
We will always be a light
You can see it on the surface
We will always be a light
You can see it on the surface
We will always be a light
Oceans won't freeze
So loosen your heart
Underestimated
Undefeated
In this love
We will always be a light
You can see it on the surface
We will always be a light
You can see it on the surface
We will always be a light
You can see it on the surface
We will always be a light
You can see it on the surface
We will always be a light
You can see it on the surface
We will always be a light
4.Reunion
in the year of my decline
sucking freezies in the rain
driving twisted to the suburbs
and then driving back again
seventeen and half alive
headlights illuminate the school
inhale the powder from the science class, yeah
so nearly die and felt so cool
your face is all that hasn't changed
you reassemble just like me
but when i reach to touch your hand,
you stroke mine gently
all i want is one more chance
to be young and wild and free
all i want is one more chance
to show you you were right for me,
you were right for me
i'm back in gym and it's the same
as my name tag floats away
i had six too many drinks last night
and that's why i made you stay
plus i always wanted you
you liked to rock it in your car
you said you didn't understand me
because i always tried to see you too far
tainted love's too fast to dance to
so let's leave them all behind
they hated us with everything they had
and we hated them in kind
all i want is one more chance
to be young and wild and free
all i want is one more chance
to show you you were right for me
you were right for me
all i want is one more chance
to be young and wild and free
all i want is one more chance
to show you you were right for me
reunion, reunion
reunion, reunion
reunion, reunion
reunion, reunion
5.The Big Fight
how could you do it？
-i couldn't say.
years built on sand.
-june until may.
second to second,
not even while you held my hand.
it's death for living.
-yes i am a ghost.
the mirror is cloudy.
-i loved you the most.
you threw out the pieces,
did things we didn't understand.
he doesn't want her but he just won't let her go.
he doesn't want her but he just won't let her go.
she started breaking but she still won't let is show.
he doesn't want her but he just won't let her go.
the clothes in the wardrobe...
-just send them to me.
there are bills here for you.
-that's 'cause nothing is free.
we filled up with things
to make us who we want to be.
is she in the background？
-i just wouldn't know.
did i build you a prison？
-please don't let me go.
i've unlocked the door
but you can't walk away from me.
he doesn't want her but he just won't let her go.
he doesn't want her but he just won't let her go.
she started breaking but she still won't let it show.
he doesn't want her but he just won't let her go.
he doesn't want her but he just won't let her go.
he doesn't want her but he just won't let her go.
she started breaking but she still won't let is show.
he doesn't want her but he just won't let her go.
6.What I'm Trying To Say
You look so good in the clothes of a poser
And when you smiled, all the kids fell apart here
I know a place where it's warm and it's dry, dear
Let me take you there
North of the river all the streets are the same
We can pretend that they don't know our name
And the heat is turned all the way
So don't pretend that you don't feel the pull
I am trying to say what I want to say
Without having to say I love you
You look so good in the shoes of an outcast
I kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last
But then I knew you, I knew you, I knew you,
I really knew you
We fell apart in the parties of the empty heart
We danced the junkie in the shadows of bad modern art
We clicked our heels and we wished we were home
One more tab
And your silk hits the chrome
I am trying to say what I want to say
Without having to say I love you
Spring comes in when I'm rolling up another one
I draw the curtains in the glare of the same old sun
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
Three blues, two greens, and a beer.
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
Three blues, two greens, and a beer.
I am trying to say what I want to say
Without having to say I love you
I am trying to say what I want to say
Without having to say I love you
(But it's impossible to say without having to say...)
7.One More Night
Try as he might
He's unable to speak
He grabs her by the hair
He strokes her on the cheek
The bed is un-made
Like everything is
Dark little heaven
At the top of the stairs
Take me like that
Ruin it all
Then build it again
By the light in the hall
He drops to his knees
Says please my love, please
I'll kill who you hate
Take off that dress, you won't freeze
One more night, that was a good one
One more night, I dreamed it was good one (one more)
One more night, that was a good one
One more night, the end should be a good one
A good one
He starts with her back
Cause thats what he sees
When she's breaking his heart
She still fucks like a tease
Release to the sky
Look him straight in the eye
And tell him right now
That you wish he would die
You'll never touch him again
So get what you can
Leaving him empty
Just because he's a man
So good when it ends
They'll never be friends
One more night
That's all they can spend in
One more night, that was a good one
One more night, I dreamed it was good one (one more)
One more night, that was a good one
One more night, the end should be a good one
A good one
8.Sleep Tonight
We don't want to sleep tonight
Still young like that I count the lines
Beside your mouth that smiles now
My arms reach up as you go down
With buried heads we both forget
All of the past and its regret
Wind picks up the window shakes
But we won't hear the morning break
You will cry
And I will cry
Because all the love's
Alive tonight
You will cry
And I will cry
Because all the love's
Alive tonight
Neighbourhoods will try to dream
While you and me we hold and lean
Onto bodies slick and charged
Together just one beating heart
All around us quiet now
We hear the leaves fall to the ground
Morning light upon our bed
An ally while I catch your breath
You will cry
And I will cry
Because all the love's
Alive tonight
You will cry
And I will cry
Because all the love's
Alive tonight
You will cry
And I will cry
Because all the love's alive tonight
All the love's alive tonight
9.The First Five Times
First time in the back yard
Underneath the plastic sheeting
Outside it was pouring
And we were drunk as shit
Next time at a party
When all our friends were there
There is nothing like bare matresses
Underneath the stairs
Third time in a doorway
With the lights all on around us
And the audience beside us
And your man watching from the trees
Fourth time I said that's that
You've agreed to give me everything
Now I've got to ask you one more thing
Keep doing that forever
Fifth time in your bedroom
When finally we rested
And you leaned upon your elbow
And began to speak to me
But you stopped yourself and kissed me
And I grabbed your wrist and told you
I know, I know, I know
I feel the same as you...
And every day it's changed since then
In every way, I've changed since then
And every day, it's changed since then
In every way, I've changed since then
Driven outside,
And driven in
Driven outside
And driven in
And driven in...
Driven in
10.He Lied About Death
What gives you the right
To fuck with our lives？
A devil born in paradise
A liar loves to lie
Keep watching your back
Killers always have killers on their track
Keep watching the sky
Cause you might get lucky again
I hope your drunken daughters are gay
You are the shadow of fear
You scare the love out of here
Like an ape in a cage
Small white man in a rage
Mellow suit, mellow smile
Limousines down murder mile
Limousines down murder mile
Watch the devil's at play
Drain the bottle empty
California today
Tomorrow it's you and me
11.Celebration Guns
and so tomorrow there will be another number
for the one who had a name
desert wind and a perverse desire to win
history buried in shame
all the beating drums,
celebration guns,
the thunder and the laughter,
the last thing they remember
all the beating drums,
celebration guns,
the thunder and the laughter,
the last thing they remember
and then the next day,
how will you know your enemy？
by their color or your fear？
one by one, you can cage them in your freedom
make them all disappear
six hundred sixty-six hundred sixty days
two guards for one uncharged
this morning's papers, ink stains my fingers
my hands grow darker everyday
all the beating drums,
celebration guns,
the thunder and the laughter,
the last thing they remember
all the beating drums,
celebration guns,
the thunder and the laughter,
the last thing they remember
all the beating drums,
celebration guns,
the thunder and the laughter,
the last thing they remember
all the beating drums,
celebration guns,
the thunder and the laughter,
the last thing they remember
good night, sleep light stranger
good night, sleep light stranger
good night, sleep light stranger
12.Soft Revolution
we are here to save your life
the fool, the drunk, the child and his wife
we won't let the sun go down
we're gonna chase the demons out of town
sing it when you feel alone, backwards through the megaphone
sing it to the ones you love, and the ones you'd like to be rid
of
we are here to take the blame, to take the taunts, and live the
shame
we are here to make you feel
it terrifies you, but it's real
it will keep you up all night and in a flood, the morning light
spilling out across your room
you say the words will get there soon
the revolution wasn't bad, we hit the streets with all we had
tape recording of the sound of the velvet underground
a kay way jacket torn to shreds, and a dream inside our heads
and after changing everything, they couldn't tell, we couldn't
sing
after changing everything they couldn't tell, they couldn't sing
they couldn't tell, we couldn't sing, and that changes
everything
13.Calendar Girl
If I am lost for a day
try and find me
but if I don't come back then I won't look behind me
and all of the things that I thought were so easy
just got harder and harder each day
December is the darkest
in June is there's light
but this empty bedroom
won't make anything right
while out on the landing
a friend I forgot to send home
who waits up for me
all through the night
calendar girl who's in love with the world
stay alive!
!
I dreamed I was dying as I so often do
and when I awoke I was sure it was true
I ran to the window
threw my head to the sky
and said whoever is up there
please don't let me die
but I can't live forever
I can't always be
one day I'll be sand on a beach by the sea
the pages keep turning
I mark off each day with a cross
and I'll laugh about all that we've lost
calendar girl who is lost to the world
stay alive
calendar girl who is lost to the world
stay alive!
!
January, February, March, April, May
I'm alive!
!
June, July, August, September, October
I'm alive!
!
November, December and all through the winter
I'm alive!
!
I'm alive
