Stars The North Lyrics
1.The Theory Of Relativity

Set your mind on mine for the part
Before they catch you baby
And never be just what they want you to be

Now that you've grown so wise
Use that head and stop to think a little
Just cause you're crazy doesn't mean that you're free

Packing dream grade ten hours of total devastator baby
Found in the school yard, they all fell to their knees
But it can't be '93 sadly cause I wish it could forever
You call it luck I call it tragedy

What would you say
If I fell apart, could you bring me back then
What would you say
If I fell apart, could you bring me back?

We got a rock DJ,
We got a total fucking alcoholic
We got a thing they call a cyber-girl
One more patient please for the dude who sold this Ecstasy
He's building homes now in the new third world

The snow just keeps on falling in the Hawaii, under station's
west
Find someone close and hold them like you care
This is a race to the end and I don't intend to win it baby
You go ahead, I'm gonna meet you there
B, A, D used to talk of relativity
That was way back when everyone was scared
Now that we're deep inside, the wise there's a lace to hide
You can do things they would've never dared

What would you say
If I fell apart, could you bring me back then
What would you say
If I fell apart, could you bring me back?

So don't get scared
What would you say
There will be things we never dared
If I fell apart, could you bring me back then

So don't get scared
What would you say
There will be things we never dared
If I fell apart, could you bring me back then

Don't be scared, there will be things we never dared
Don't be scared, there will be things we never dared


2.Backlines

You clean AM you take me down and what you want is what
I love the colors of the world that lead me home tonight
One, two, too many times you tend to trick me up
Now that I know it's all you want,
It's still never enough

Calling on the backlines
Crawling from the battle to the other side
If courage is a lot lighter
I see it in your eyes

Too many plays and they know how to keep a choke on you
But you've got ?ower pressure when I have too much to lose
The stakes are high, my mind is twisted, and the pressure's off
At 4 o'clock we went ahead more dizzy than a flood

Calling on the backlines
Crawling for the battle to the other side
The courage a lot lighter
I see it in your eyes
Running from the battle to the other side
If freedom isn't hard-wired
I see it in your eyes

Calling on the backlines
Crawling from the battle to the other side
If living isn't hard wired,
I see it in your eyes
Crawling from the backlines
Hiding from the shadows that we left behind
Courage is a lot wider
I see it in your eyes
See it in your eyes
I see it in your eyes


3.The North

It's so cold in this country
Every road home is long
He had a map that he bought
For the price of his soul
He had a reason to go there
And a warm place to stay
And when it came time to leave
It was never the right day

Good luck bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck bad luck survivor

There was a girl who he married
And he left her behind
He couldn't picture her face now
It was like he was blind
Up at five in the morning
Every breath was a stone

Its so cold in this country
you can never get warm

Good luck bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck bad luck survivor
Good luck bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck bad luck survivor

It's a strange disappearance
It's a real mystery
Is he asleep in the snow
Does he feel free
There's a person he once was in a place far away

It's so cold in this country
I told her in May

Good luck bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck bad luck survivor
Good luck bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck bad luck survivor
Survivor

Good luck bad luck survivor
Good luck bad luck survivor
Good luck bad luck survivor


4.Hold On When You Get Love And Let Go When You Give It

There's been a lot of talk of love
But that don't amount to nothing
You can evolve the stars above
But that doesn't make it something

And the only way to last
And the only way to live it
Is to hold on when you get love,
And let go when you give it.. give it.

It's a pretty melody
It might help you through the night time
But it doesn't make it easy
To leave the party at the right time

If I'm frightened, if I'm high
My weakness please forgive it
At least I hold on when I get love,
And I let go when I give it

What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love,
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Let go when you give it.

The world wont listen to this song
And the radio wont play it
But if you like it sing along
Sing 'cause you don't know how to say it

Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love,
So you can let go when you give it.. give it.. give it.

What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do?

I know it's true, please don't think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget the song, things will go on
I keep seeing you from the dark with you above me

I know it's true, please don't think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget the song, things will go on
I keep seeing you from the dark with you above me

Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love,
So you can let go when you give it.
Give it.. give it.. give it.. give it.. give it.. give it.


5.Through The Mines

How do you choose
Was it me or your mood
That let your hounds of hate out
Out of the gates
You were the place
That I always want to get to

Quick on the draw
We'll fight 'till we're raw
'Till the bully has had enough
Caught in the rough
Us diamonds are tough
And we're never going to give up

You want hard love
You and I
Kill or kind
We just might
Make it through the mines

We cut the thread
Two hearts made of lead
Did they lead us down the wrong road?
There's charm in the flaw
And the key fits the lock
So why do we have to write it off?


6.Do You Want To Die Together

I love you til the day I die
So don't die today, please don't die today
Everything but you is an ugly lie
That's not how you pray, that's now what you say
If I'm here when you're gone I'll fall apart
Stop your crying now, stop your crying now
What's the point of life without my heart
You're not dying now, you'll survive somehow

Do you want to die together?
Yes I do. Yes i do.
Do you want to die together?
Yes I do. Yes i do.
Do you want to die together?
Yes I do. Yes i do.
Do you want to die..... together?

It's been the night since you've been gone
Please I have to go, please please let me go
What's the use of writing one more song?
Cause it's what you know, cause it's what you know
It was you and me that what you said
And it's always true, ain't I here with you?
I may look alive but inside I'm dead
Then let's make it true, let's make it true

Do you want to die together?
Yes I do. Yes i do.
Do you want to die together?
Yes I do. Yes i do.
Do you want to die together?
Yes I do. Yes i do.
Do you want to die... together?
Yes I do. Yes i do.


7.Lights Changing Colour

It was empty til you came up through the honey
Nothing ever goes as planned
When you're walking and the lights are changing color
Remember how you held my hand
Remember how you held my hand
How you held

There's a fire in your chest
I see the flame
They better watch it if they pick a fight

Hold that fire when the day it comes
It always comes
You feel you'll never get it right
You're never gonna get it right
You're gonna get it

Hold on
Let it turn around
Spin another way
Hold on
You hit the edge of the
edge of the
edge of the day

Some people want it when you've got in your pocket
And they leave you if there's nothing left
When you find that the ones that keep you lifted
Love them cuz they keep you out of your head
they keep you out of your head
They keep you steady

Hold on
Let it turn around
Spin another way
Hold on
You hit the edge of the
Edge of
The edge of the

Hold on
Let it turn around
Spin another way
Hold on
You hit the edge of the
edge of the
edge of the day

When you're walking and the lights are changing color
Remember how I held your hand
Remember how I held your hand


8.The Loose Ends Will Make Knots

A heart suspends then bends it into three
A broken piece of what we used to be
I'm a knot but I'm never alone
I'm a knot that's smiling filled with hope
Emptiness caught the better half of me
Concrete is my memory
My blood turned into a mean streak
Twisting every part of us

Don't say it's all
don't say it's all been lost
Will you shift everything you thought
Don't say it's all
don't say it's all been lost
We'll pretend we've got that much
Don't say it's all
don't say it's all been lost
My throat gets caught
The loose ends will make knots
You're all I've got

I just want your past
I just want you now
Tomorrow I won't know
Until we're underground
Is that too much to ask

A heart suspends then bends it into three
A broken piece of what we used to be


9.A Song Is A Weapon

Waiting at arrivals by the baggage counter cell
Time can be a tyrant but it always served you well
A game is just a game and a prize is just a prize
How do you keep a straight face when you're telling all those
lies

You are the one, you are the bullet in the chamber of the gun
You are the long forgotten predator's son
And you will be here ages after I'm gone
I can only hope to kill you with a song

The television tells me you're a father to a son
You held us in your arms and pressed our backs against the wall
What is that you're looking at, tell me what you see
A spectre in the corner looks awful alot like me

You are the one, you are the bullet in the chamber of the gun
You are the long forgotten predator's son
And you will be here ages after I'm gone
I can only hope to kill you with a song, with a song, with a
song
I can only hope to kill you with a song, with a song
I've got one shot to kill you with a song, with a song

You are the one, you are the bullet in the chamber of the gun
You are the long forgotten predator's son
And you will be here ages after I'm gone
I can only hope to kill you with a song
I can only hope to kill you with a song
I've got one shot to kill you with a song
I can only hope to kill you with a song
I've got one shot to kill you with a song


10.Progress

Caught up in all the day to day
Fight another battle
Fight another battle

Winter trees so bare without their leaves
Falling in the water
Falling in the water

Break lights align the highway signs
Back along the same road
Drive along the same road
Back along the same road

Silver breathing while you sleep
Incomplete when you leave
You could be the one
Could you be the one to kill my name
You could be the one
Could you be the one that changes everything

Cold bus hot train
Too late again
Fog inside a window

One memory spins this level head
You whispered it to me
Whispered it to me
Whispered it to me

Silver breathing while you sleep
Incomplete when you leave
You could be the one
Could you be the one to kill my name
You could be the one
Could you be the one that changes everything

Do you want
Do you want
Do you want it

Silver breathing while you sleep
I'm Incomplete when you leave
You could be the one
Could you be the one to kill my name
You could be the one
Could you be the one that changes everything

You could be the one
Could you be the one


11.The 400

You know that I'll see you again
It's just an hour or two by airplane
I park the car, I park the car
I'm tired of what I do
Turn the heat on early
It'll be cold when I get through

It has to go right this time.
It has to go right this time.
It has to go right this time.
It's got to go right.

It has to go right this time.
It has to go right this time.
It has to go right this time.
It's got to go.

This town surrounds another town we live beside
The highway exit change at random and the road divides
If you lose your way just ask a stranger they'll let you know
There's no way back to that house you knew so long ago

It has to go right this time.
It has to go right this time.
It has to go right this time.
It's got to go right .

It has to go right this time.
It has to go right this time.
It has to go right this time.
It's got to go.
It's got to go.
It has to go right.


12.Walls

Why did you do me
Why did you get done
And all the misery
You were an easy one
We fell into the night time
We fell into the road way
We fell into a bedroom
And then we couldn't get away
We couldn't get away

How did we get here
We took the slow way
Do you love me
What am I supposed to say
And every time I touch you
And every we take it off
It feels like a concert
And that it's worth it at the cost

Tell me how I sleep
Tell me how I wake up
Tell me how I dream

Tell me how I sleep
Tell me how I wake up
Tell me how I dream

I had a secret
Yeah but I knew it love
And we were children
We danced it hand in glove

And every time we fought
And every time we walked away
And every single silence
Was like a debt we had to pay
It was a debt we had to pay

Tell me how I sleep
Tell me how I wake up
Tell me how I dream

Tell me how I sleep
Tell me how I wake up
Tell me how I dream

Tell me how I sleep
Tell me how I wake up
Tell me how I dream

Tell me how I sleep
(You can fuck them when you doubt me)
Tell me how I wake up
(You can smoke a cigarette)
Tell me how I dream
(You can lie in soiled sheets
Covered in your sweat)

Tell me how I sleep
(You can take me)
Tell me how I wake up
(And you can have me)
Tell me how I dream
(But you can't make me happy)

Tell me how I sleep
(You can fuck them when you doubt me)
Tell me how I wake up
(You can smoke a cigarette)
Tell me how I dream
(You can lie in soiled sheets
Covered in your sweat)

Tell me how I sleep
(You can take me)
Tell me how I wake up
(And you can have me)
Tell me how I dream
(But you can't make me happy)
