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
