The Dears Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.C'etait pour la passion

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

Have you ever hear of Gide?
I won't advise, it's full of lies
Trust me, I know 'cos I believed it so
What was I supposed to do?

Turn my back?
Well, that would lack
A certain amount of happiness
No doubt it's brutal and cruel and inevitable

It's not my fault so I don't care anymore
I'm packing up and moving out
And it's alright 'cos I'll be miles away
Trying to find new things to say, to say

Take me home and tuck me in
Hold me tight and I just might tell you all I know
(I'm feeling pretty low)
Sunglasses and handkerchiefs

I'm chronicling everything that's happened to us
So hate me if you must
It's easy to do so easy to do, yeah
And so convenient

It's all my fault though I don't care anymore
I'm packing up and moving out
And it's alright 'cos I'll be miles away
Trying to find new things to say
Trying to find new things to say


2.Don't Lose The Faith

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

Feeling self-conscious
It's the only way to save us
And forget about your awful past
Do it now or we'll never last

Noble and yet famous
Will they ever have that on us?
For we've got the anti-social plague
We want friends but we'll never beg

And you'd think they would have
Called out our name
But the voices all sound the same
They do, yeah

(Don't you lose the faith)
How many days are left to live
When we've given all we can give

(Don't you lose the faith)
We're tired of being held in this place
When your half of the world away

(Don't you lose the faith)
How many days are left to live
When we've given all we can give

(Don't you lose the faith)
We're tired of being held in this place
When your half of the world away

We're tired of being held in this place
When your half of the world away

Don't you lose the the faith
Don't you lose the the faith
Don't you lose the the faith
Don't you lose the the faith


3.Who Are You, Defenders of the Universe

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

We want your information
We will do what we must
But not here
Or in front of people
Or on the phone

We're not all blood-sucking leeches
For we all have families too
But that don't mean
That we really love them
Or that we don't

'Cause I can't love you
And you can't love me
But I can love you
And you can love me
Love me

It's not a confrontation
(All across the world, open your eyes)
We are here because we are broke
(Give us what we want, we've had enough)
But we don't expect a handout, or anything
(So, so, so, so, so)

'Cause I can't help you
And you can't help me
But I can help you
And you can help me

I can help you
You can help me
I can help you
You can help me
Help me

Help you
(It's not an impossible situation)
Help me
(It's not an impossible situation)

Help you
(It's not an impossible situation)
Help me
(It's not an impossible situation)
I know there is doubt we can do this
But I can help you


4.The Second Part

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

Two days have passed
And all I want is to feel better
They won't be back
And a long weekend is coming up

I left the house
It was just to see you
For an hour
Hoping for two

I was short of breath
As I passed the doorman for a second time
And it rained all day
I don't have a raincoat of my own

I then arrived
Ten minutes early with no smokes
And I was broke
Without a smoke

All of the time
I thought, I was crazy 'cause you told me so
It was profound
Like the piano I was humbled by

Our tongues may have touched
But all I remember was your nose
And I suppose
Our eyes were closed

Two days have passed
And all I want is gone
For good this time


5.'Pinned Together, falling Apart'

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

I have been terrified
By the thought of losing you
So very terrified
By the thought of losing you

Stop telling me
I don't want to know
Stop telling
I just don't ever, ever want to know

No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no

I've been petrified
By the thought of losing you
Absolutely horrified
By the thought, by the thought of losing you

Stop telling me
I don't want to know
Stop telling me
I just don't ever, ever want to know

No, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no

No, no
No, no
No, no
...


6.Lost In the Plot

Lyricist:Murray A Lightburn

Take me for drive to the coastline
Pull me to the depths of the sea
Leave me in the middle of the ocean
I can walk the rest of the way

And I promise not to cry anymore
All the reasons beat the crap out of me
Everyday when I wake up, they are waiting
But, I promise not to cry anymore

'Cause, it's the same old plot these days
Oh, it's the same old plot these days
Oh, it's the same old plot these days
Oh, it's the same old plot

Our love, don't mess with our love
Our love is so much stronger
Our love, don't mess with our love
Our love is so much stronger

Our love, don't mess with our love
Our love is so much stronger
Our love, don't mess with our love
Our love is so much stronger

Oh, it's the same old plot these days
Oh, it's the same old plot these days
Oh, it's the same old plot, same old plot
Same old plot these days

Oh, I promise not to cry
Oh, I promise not to cry
Oh, I promise not to cry anymore


7.We Can Have It

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

Last night, all the horrible things
In life start through my dreams
And I just want to shine it up
Shine it down or shine off

Going where we lost it all
Yet things before are with us now
It hurts, it kills, it takes a choice
It brings no light, it brings no love

And what we want most is no where
To be found, some people care
They're going long, they're going deep
Still, it's nowhere to be found

We're looking far, we're searching wide
Still, it's nowhere to be found
We're looking far, we're searching wide
Still, it's nowhere to be found
What we want is gone for good
It's simply nowhere to be found

Somewhere is the one that never will burn out
Is how they're looking for a heart
Looking for a home, looking for a hand
This broke his head, you're not alone
You're not alone, you're not alone
You're not alone, you're not alone

And you never said, â½I'd see you againâ
You never said, â½I willâ
You never said, â½I'd see you againâ
You never said, â½I will, I will
I will, I will, my loveâ

Someone, somewhere says they've got it all
But that's not even what we want
Not even close, not even close
It won't ever be what we want

It won't ever be what we want
It won't ever be what we want
It won't ever be what we want
...


8.No Cities Left

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

Let's just keep fighting the end
We're holding hands
We're making plans for life

Let's just keep fighting the end
Last time I swear
Or we'll be nowhere tonight

Don't you think that now
Is the time to move on
If you don't mind
Well I'll just keep holding on, for good

Don't you think that now
Is the time to move on
If you don't mind
Well I'll just keep holding on, for good

Let's just keep fighting
The end of the world
We will hold hands
And we will make plans for life


9.Postcard From Purgatory

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

We have now wasted
Wasted all
All of our lives

Empty heads
Empty mouths
Empty hearts
Empty souls


10.Warm and Sunny Days

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

We've been surrounded
For it was genius
There is no other way
And we know we won't escape

All of our time
Spent on warm and sunny days
From you there's nowhere left
I want to run

Stay
Stay
Stay

My arms are flailing
Am I a failure?
My God the pressure's on!
And I still don't have a son

My body's sore from sleeping on the couch because you're gone
These feelings that I have tonight
Waiting for the phone to ring
My stomach hurts, it's tearing us apart

Stay
Stay
There's nowhere left to run
Stay
Stay
Stay

I get so paranoid
I've got to think of warm and sunny days
Imagining and planning out the course of both our lives
But that is as far
As I am willing to go
Planning out the rest of both our lives

Stay
Stay
There's nowhere left to run
Stay
Stay

There's nowhere left to hide
There's nowhere left to hide
There's nowhere left to hide
There's nowhere left to hide
There's nowhere left to hide


11.End Of A Hollywood Bedtime Story

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

It's so very sad that I prefer to sleep in a Hollywood bed
And it's so very sad that I prefer a love so miserably led
Well, what did you want?
Would you rather this in a different font? I don't know

I'm happy to say that I am forever changing my ways
For there is nothing else to spill except a demi-format bottle
of pills
Well, what did you want?
Would you rather this in a different font? Oh, no, no

Is this the end? Has our time come and gone?
It's like every book we've read and every film we saw
La, la, la, la, la
If this is how our world must fall apart

No sewing kits to mend our broken hearts
Clearly there's no point in this pretense
Still we're left to find out how it ends
How will it end? Is this the end?


12.Never Destroy Us

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

Whatdya say that we go down together
And try to find out all the answers
Whatdya say that we go down together
And try to find out what we missed

I will drop everything you better believe it
'Cause I mean it
And I know we can last if we could forget about the past
And start again, again

Never destroy us
Never destroy us
Never destroy us
Never destroy us

Never destroy us
Never destroy us
Never destroy us
Never destroy us

Again, start again, start again, start
Again, start again, start again, start
Again, start again, start again, start
Again, start again, start again, start

Again, start again, start again, start
Again, start again, start again, start
Again, start again, start again, start
Again, start again, start


13.Summer Of Protest

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

This is the summer of protest
That they can never defuse
Force is a language they understand
And force we will use
And force we will use
And force we will use

This is the summer of protest
Of every dollar that kills
Run straight for the underground
Run straight for the hills
Run straight for the hills
Run straight for the hills

This is the summer of protest
Gotta get out of school
Start up a revolution
Revolution for fools
Revolution for fools
Revolution for fools


14.22 - The Death of All the Romance

Lyricist:Murray Lightburn

I have never cried in anybody's arms
The way that I have often cried in yours
Please be the one to take my tears away

I was 22, I've had my share of views
I just can't take that happiness from you
Still I'll be the one to take your tears away

I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe the things you say
Tell me, tell me, tell me the lies

I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe the things you say
Tell me, tell me, tell me the lies

Fasting love will lead us all to nowhere
When, when will we learn?
I shall avenge the death of all the romance
Until, until I'm gone

I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe the things you say
Tell me, tell me, tell me the lies

I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe the things you say
Tell me, tell me, tell me the lies

Tell me the lies
Tell me the lies
Tell me the lies


15.You and I Are a Gang of Losers

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

Every single one of us is getting massacred
On a frozen path
Fever comes to wipe us out and scratch your name off
Of a list

You and I are on the outside
Of almost everything
You and I are on the other side
Of almost everything

They were slurring words and acting like a bunch of animals
Every given day
Never read or hardly wrote but signed an 'X' once
In blood

You and I are on the outside
Of almost everything
You and I are on the other side
Of almost everything

'Cause we
We've got the same heart
And we
We've got the same heart

We
We've got the same heart
We
We've got the same heart

We
We've got the same heart
We
We've got the same heart

You and I are on the outside
Of all of this
You and I are on the other side
Of all of this

You and I are on the outside
Of all of this
You and I
You and I

You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I


16.There Goes My Outfit

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

All right, all right already you got me
Broke inside and took it all away
Had a speech prepared and everything
Tapped phone calls from God

And now I've found a new connection
Being bored is really such a chore
Some of us out here don't know shit
And some of us don't even want to know

Clearly this is my life
There goes, there goes, there goes my outfit
And I was only trying to help
I was only trying to help

Just admit, I've got you by the lapels
They trashed me over, over and again
You stood there and you said nothing
That's what shattered my heart to bits

Clearly this isn't my life
I'm in the dirt and in the gutter
I've got mud and blood all over my face

Clearly this isn't my life
There goes, there goes, there goes, there goes my outfit
And I was only trying to help
Clearly this isn't my life

Clearly this can't be my life
Oh no


17.Bandwagoneers

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

This was our mistake
Yet another horrible mistake
We've more than settled here
Waging war, inciting fear

I'm trying to remember
Just trying to remember

We are feeling so alone
We are feeling so erroneously alone
And I know what we have here
Yes, I know that we've got the best thing going on

I'm trying to remember
Just trying to remember
When we had control
When we let it go

Why can't everyone
Live out happily ever after?
This ain't happening
Don't fall to pieces now

I'm trying to remember
Just trying to remember

Heaven knows all my mistakes
Heaven knows that I'm mistaken
Heaven knows that I'm a freak
Heaven knows what we are making here

Everything we hold
Everything we hold
Everything we hold
Everything we hold


18.Hate Then Love

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

All the time is gone
Along with everything you loved, forever

You can try to break my heart
It'll never be enough
And you can try to burn this heart to the ground
It just won't be enough

Yet they work so hard
To destroy what's left of our lives
But we're gonna take it all
We're gonna take it all to town

You can try to break my heart
It'll never be enough
And surely you'll try to wreck this heart
But it's just a little bit too tough, oh yeah
Oh yeah

We'll find our place in the world
It could take all day and all night
We'll find our place in the world
If it takes all day and all night, oh yeah

'Til your last breath
You will hate this heart
Just don't hate anyone
'Cause you hate yourself

'Til your last breath
You will hate this heart
Just don't hate anyone
'Cause you hate yourself

And you'll hate everyone
'Til there's no one else
Well, I believe, I believe
I believe in you

I swear, I swear
I swear it to you
I swear, I swear
I swear it to you
I swear, I swear
I swear it to you

I swear, I swear
I swear it to you
I swear, I swear
I swear it to you
I swear, I swear
I swear it to you

I swear it to you
I swear it to you


19.Ballad of Humankindness

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

Well, I thought that
We all cared about peace
And I thought that
We'd all cry about love and loss

And I thought that
We were somehow holding on
But I'm just standing here

No one should have to
Live all of their life on their own
No one should have to
Live all of their life on their

Every time I think about what I can do
It just slips away
And every time I think that we can make things work
Well, it just slips away

And I turn on the news
And there's always some dude
Who's relentlessly
Bringing me down

Telling me how
There are too many
Dark people out there
Who'll never be found, well

No one should have to
Live all of their life on their own
No one should have to
Live all of their life on their own

No one should have to
Live that sort of life and I
Think it's time that
We all learned forgiveness

And I can't believe the vast amounts of people
Living on the streets
And I can't believe that I was almost one of them
And I almost died

And I can't believe I haven't lent a hand
And I'm just standing here
Well, I'm gonna change, I'm gonna change
I'm gonna change, I'm gonna change

I'm gonna change, I'm gonna change
I'm gonna change, I'm gonna change
I'm gonna change

No one should have to
Live all of their life on their own
No one should have to
Live all of their life on their own

No one should have to
Live all of their life on their own
No one should have to
Live all of their life alone


20.Fear Made the World Go 'Round

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

You're trying to pretend
To love
All those people that you think are
'Neath you

There is no known doubt
That they got guns in their hands
There is no known doubt
That they got guns in their hands

'Cause the whole world lives in fear
Said the whole world lives in fear

And I know it, I know it
I know it, I know it
I know, I know
In my bones

I know it, I know it
I know it, I know it
I know, I know
In my bones

No, it's not a question of loss
It's not a question of win, oh, no, oh, no
And no, never mind the cost
Or even how we get in, oh, no, oh, no

Now I don't want you to feel so bad
No, I don't want you to feel so bad
That's not what I want

We'll be okay
We're all okay
We'll be okay
We're all okay


21.Whites Only Party

Lyricist:Murray Allen Lightburn

I wanna know how you did it
You waltzed right past the door
While we struggled here at the gates
And can't get through

We could've followed you
And maybe looked like fools
But who cares we'd still be true
We'd still be true

We ain't here to steal your women
Well, at least that wasn't the plan
There's that closet smell
Think you've been inside there too long

You're almost mystical
And I'm impossible
We need a miracle
A miracle

Don't say I'm paranoid
It's more like just annoyed
Maybe a bit destroyed
A bit destroyed

And there's nowhere else for us to run
And our time has sure as hell become
And life has just begun
It's just begun


22.Galactic Tides

Lyricist:Roberto Arquilla, Robert Benvie, Patrick Krief, Murray Allen
Lightburn, Jeff Luciani, Natalia Yanchak

Longing for love
Hunting down souls
We're runnin' out of songs to sing

Galactic tides
Will end our lives
Chasing us down
In the moonlight

Chains bound our thoughts
Dreams go unlocked
So leavin' out remains behind for good

Galactic tides
Could end our lives
Taking us out
In the moonlight

Galactic tides
Will end our lives
Taking us down
In the moonlight

Galactic tides
Will end our lives
Taking us down
In the moonlight


23.Ticket To Immortality

Fists up in our faces
How did we end up here?
Standing in policed lines
Don't you know who I am?

I hang out with all the pariahs
Everyone is almost done with me
This will be our name
This will be our name

So listen
The buck stops here
Or I'm gonna lose it now

M, A, L, is that too personal?
Gimme an M, A, L
We're international

I hang out with all the pariahs
Everyone is almost done with me
I hang out with nothing but pariahs
Everyone has had their fun with me

But the world is really gonna love you
The world is really gonna love you
The world loves you


24.This Is A Broadcast

I'm the one who's very fond of adventure
Tripping over feet, I scrape my knees
Seeking out my lover, only she can cure
My unbearable open wound

Turn on the radio and listen to me sing
Throw that TV out into the street
Wait for me, I'll meet you on the corner
Of the impossible and the dark


25.Heartless Romantic

I've been a liar, I've been a thief
But now I don't think
That is what I want to be
I'll do anything you want
Any old time, oh yeah

Don't have any money
(Pockets are empty)
Don't have any looks
(I am a dog)

Just borrowed pianos
(I'm coming over)
That I can't hardly play
(To use what I want to)

I may have a pen somewhere
Staff paper too
I'm asking for it

You need some more brandy
(Got a pack of cigarettes)
You need cocaine
(Give me more drugs)

You're in self destruct mode
(I'm self destructing)
Maybe it's the pain
(And hurting all over)

I don't need anything
(Don't need nobody)
I just need you
(Nobody else)

You and I
It's all so shameful
You and I
It's all, it's a shame
You're just another fool


26.Stick

The Dears With Me Kid
From the left to the right
They receded into the night
It's not safe
Oh, they warned ya, it's not safe

I will run
'Til there's nowhere left to run

From the front to the back
Oh, they faded into black
And they lost me
And others just like me

I will run
'Til there's nowhere left to run
I will love
'Til there's no one left to love

Up from the North to the South
There's a blanket of stars to count
And a lot of the time
They're behind us, a lot of the time

I will run
'Til there's nowhere left to run
I will love
'Til there's no one left to love

Oh, I will run
Until there's nowhere left to run
I will love
Until there's no one left to love

And from your lips to your ears
I'm takin' down your every fear
That's what I'll do
Stick with me, kid, that's what I'll do
Stick with me, kid, that's what I'll do
Stick with me, kid, that's what I'll do

I will run
'Til there's nowhere left to run
I will love
'Til there's no one left to love

(Stick with me, kid)
I will run
'Til there's nowhere left to run
(Stick with me, kid)
I will love
'Til there's no one left to love

(Stick with me, kid)
I will run
'Til there's nowhere left to run
(Stick with me, kid)
I will love
'Til there's no one left to love

I will run
'Til there's nowhere left to run
I will love
Until there's no one left to love
