A Brief History Of Love

The Big Pink A Brief History Of Love Lyrics
1.Crystal Visions

She held lightning in her hands, it's been cornered by the man
I pretend no answering riot as we hid it on the hill, we ran
Fuel the mission with our passion
Fighting, still we ran

Do you know the way to the silver-colored road?
By the city that's run dry on a sequin-covered horse
And they're waiting for us to arrive, two hundred naked pure
gold girls
And then I'll sit and watch them ride

Made of crystals in the sand, if you want to taste you can
In the city where the people are alone
She held lightning in her hands
It's been cornered by the man

I pretend no answering riot, as we hid it on the hill, we ran
Fuel a mission with the passion, fighting, still we ran

Do you know the way to the silver-colored road?
By the city that's run dry on a sequin-covered horse
And they're waiting for us to arrive, two hundred naked pure
gold girls
And then we'll sit and watch them ride

Do you know the way to the silver-colored road?
By the city that's run dry on a sequin-covered horse
And they're waiting for us to arrive, two hundred naked pure
gold girls
And then we'll sit and watch them ride


2.Too Young To Love

Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again
All night we turn and turn
It makes sense to turn again
All night we turn and turn
Innocence, too young to love alone

Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again, break

Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again

All night we turn and turn
It makes sense to turn again
All night we turn and turn
Innocence, too young to love alone

Alone, alone, alone
And you're too young to love
And you're too young to love

Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again

All night we turn and turn
It makes sense to turn again
All night we turn and turn
In a sense too young to love alone


3.Dominos

These girls fall like dominos, dominos*
These girls fall like dominos, dominos

As soon as I love her it's been too long
Talks of future with you caves me in
Swallow my sugar kiss and eat it alone
Hearts collide and smash any dreams of love

These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos

Three words we shared said too early on
Start with forever float upon a tear
Swimming with the fear where we slowly drown
Ending at never, a haunting melody

As soon as I love her it's been too long
And I really loved breaking your heart
These silver apples will shine on, I was wrong
The hottest love has the coldest end

These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos


4.Love In Vain

If you really love him then tell me that you love him again
If you really love him then tell me that you love him again
And you won't mind when I suggest you go
You said to keep calm and we won't tell a soul

And you really must do this so we will never be alone
I won't treat you wrong and at least in love
Our hearts won't be apart for too long
So don't say it again

If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and
go
I can see your love changing hands before too long
If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and
go
If you really love him then tell me that you love him again

If you really love him then tell me that you love him again
I let go of your hand as you suggest I go

And with that I was gone
And after all that was said, was it meaningless
When you danced with me to walking in the sand?
And I'd like you to know

That my love is love that you can be sure of
So tell me now, I won't ask again

If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and
go
I can see your love changing hands before too long
If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and
go
I can see your love changing hands before too long


5.At War With The Sun

Up for too long at war with the sun
A crown of stars that we all wish upon
And you whisper tome, are we out of time?

And if it's so then don't let go
And show me where your tear drops run

All ragged bloom we're all let loose on
Hands disappear, pull you close
Shoot out the lights for all your pleasures

Young hearts
Know nothing but say it all
Celebrate no control
But is it enough to realize your love

And miss us when we're gone
Live for the words that we sung
And don't let go

No one hears as no one cares
Until we all fall over the edge
Surrender all thoughts, the odd ones out
And I said, we'd meet tonight

Into the dark and out of this world
Blow a kiss and burn it down
Together we'll live then turn to dust
Through the smoke and into the sun

Young hearts
Know nothing but say it all
Celebrate no control
But is it enough to realize your love

And miss us when we're gone
Live for the words that we sung
And don't let go

To feel, to see it on it, I'm on it

Young hearts
Know nothing but say it all
Celebrate no control
But is it enough to realize your love

And miss us when we're gone
Live for the words that we sung
And don't let go


6.Velvet

Lyricist:Milo Na Cordell Lavarack, David Fr Furze Robertson

I've seen it in my hands, burn in my heart
Seen it in my past, back in my home
But does it make sense to see her again?
I don't know

I felt it for some time and not at all
Poison in my head, god love hurts
I'm not looking for love but it's hard to resist
I don't recall being this dead

She's the only one, lost the best I had
I found her in a dream, looking for me
This heart's on fire, I'll bring myself
Up to fall and down again

These arms of mine don't mind who they hold
So should I maybe, just leave love alone
You call out my name, for the love you need
But you won't find it in me

These arms are mine don't mind who they hold
You're made for me, and I'll leave love alone
You call out my name for the love you need
But you won't find it in me

I've seen it in my hands, burn in my heart
I found her in a dream looking for me
But does it make sense to see her again?
I don't know

I can see the end of what I begun
A tale of a love, come and gone
But now my love, no promises
I won't go falling in love


7.Golden Pendulum

We all live somewhere near nowhere
On dusty roads there, all soft and free
You said I feel no pain, where are you going?
With number nothing unnaturally

It's the feeling that you can't be lost
It's another that you can't explain
It pulls on strings like falling in love
Instant love, instant love

Only you asked to go lower
And don't you just know it
Dead fingers falls

A star fades out of my heart
But you laughed and just rolled and rolled over
Everything slowly goes
You said you knew and that's what you wanted

If time gone is history, then this is a victory
A victory worth losing for you and all you need

It's the feeling that you can't be lost
It's another that you can't explain
It pulls on strings like falling in love
Instant love, instant love

You said I feel no pain, where are you going?
With the number three

A star fades out of my heart
But you laughed and just rolled and rolled over
Everything slowly goes
You said you knew and that's what you wanted

If time gone is history, then this is a victory
A victory worth losing for you to get what you need
To get what you need, to get what you need


8.Frisk

Oh, oh, oh

I'll burn the maps
And feel the people all lost inside you
Stamp your feet if you know where you're from
Love's a rose in the snow, you turn around to the wind

Fill your pockets full of stones and walk upstream
It's not making sense
Freak out again, these tears are real
And lurk in shadows of paradise

If this is love then I might just leave it
Inhale, I'll give you what you want
If this is love, you forget to answer
The day of my birth, my death began its walk

Am I in love, alone in a cruel world?
But this time I know you're on your own

The machine watches over this unfortunate boy
A monument for forever, versus me and you
Cupid's whore stole the arrows of time
A perfect mirror would do well

Reflecting further than you
Forget love
I wanna die asleep in your arms
Do you dream of me as much as I do of you?

If this is love then I might just leave it
Inhale, I'll give you what you want
If this is love, you forget to answer
The day of my birth, my death began its walk

Am I in love, alone in a cruel world?
But this time I know you're on your own


9.A Brief History Of Love

This time I'll leave you as the one that you love
The taste of your lips and the true meaning of love
Your beautiful smile all bent out of shape
Is this the road to heaven that you wanted to take?
Come on baby, don't you want to feel love?

Have I left you too long waiting for the feeling to come?
Another kind of lover holds my baby today
Crush the tissue to break the fall
Let's get lost and feel warm tonight
Hit by another and feeling its right

It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight

As you leave me
It's up to you to lend me your heart but you won't let go
And as you leave me
You're in my heart I feel true love and it won't let go
It's up to you to mend my heart, please don't let go

I've seen the lights of this city go out at night
Instant living rarely works out right
You never turned down what you wanted to be
It's a kind of magic that you can't help but feel

I dreamt we were sleeping and we floated away
And we shone like a star and we blinded who stared
We listen to the heavens at the silence above
Never ask the devil to help the one that you love
You said to me baby that you want to feel love
Babe, we gave it our all but it's never enough

It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight

As you leave me
It's up to you to lend me your heart, but you won't let it go
And as you leave me
You're in my heart I feel true love and it won't let go
It's up to you to mend my heart, please don't let go

It's over, it's over, it's over
Baby tonight


10.Tonight

Tonight, you take a part of my life
Tonight, you take a part of my life

Only lovers are left alive
Only lovers are on my side
Wasted days and wasted nights
'Cause my dreams just slowly die

Stand by me, stand by my side
Change your love and make it mine
With your arms around me, I'm satisfied
Take me to your music, I'm calm inside

Tonight, you take a part of my life
Tonight, you take a part of my life

Take that train, forget the world
Find those girls are made of gold
I've done a lot of things I know were wrong
So please forgive me before I'm gone

Tonight, you take a part of my life
Tonight, you take a part of my life

Tonight, you take a part of my life
Tonight, you take a part of my life
Tonight, you take a part of my life
Tonight, you take a part of my life


11.Count Backwards From Ten

I've seen it all and I said
She's calling out to us all
And I ache
She did not know it belonged to me
And we could fall into each others arms and severed clean
Oh where to lean
Now, it's something that I could've asked for
Apparently
We're not alone
And I don't know what I saw
And I hope that no one saw
Stand by my side

Better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead

You seem a little low again
I'm ready to leave again
Seem a little low
And eyes start to roll

I reveal
I reveal
To see that little glow again
I'm ready to leave again
Seem a little low
And the wheels start to roll
I reveal
I reveal
To see that a little glow

I've seen all that's there
And I seen it all and I said
Its calling out to all and I ache
She did not know it belonged to me
And it was something that I couldn't ask for
And it was something that I couldn't ask for
Better off dead
Better off dead
Seem a little low again
I reveal
Seem a little glow again
To see that little glow again
Seem a little low
And the wheels start to roll
I reveal
I rebel
To see that little glow again
Seem a little low
And eyes start to glow
I reveal


12.Stop The World

Obsessed*
With the shades of a ghost face
They don't belong here
We set them free

Obsessed
With the feeling you held
I'll meet you down there
Send us to sleep

To dream alone
Stop the world
For as long as we want
To love, to hold
To stop the world
Forever we'll sing along

Loveless
I suggest you go there
To magnetic zero
The world as you want it

Loveless
I'm afraid to kiss again
We dream to remember
Send us to sleep


Stop the world
Stop the world
