The Delgados Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Everything Goes Around The Water

Lyricist:Stewart Henderson, Emma Pollock, Paul Savage, Alun Trevor
Woodward

Give me your lies
Just leave out the reason
I'm only twenty-five
But I'm tired and I'm freezing
Come around we'll talk
'Cause I just need believing

And on you spare it me now
Don't leave it 'til later
The chances were high
But my losses were greater
So I walked alone
In the rain it was alright
'Cause I was true

I would never really know what to say
Until it's been said
I was scared but my values were read
(I would never really know what to say)

Take me out at the break of today
(Until it's been said)
(I would never really know what to say)
Take me down, take me out
(Until it's been)

Bodies are here
But nobody's leaving
Your champions lie
And the crosses are heaving
So I walked alone
In the rain it was alright
'Cause I was true

I would never really know what to say
Until it's been said
I was scared but my values were read
(I would never really know what to say)

Take me out at the break of today
(Until it's been said)
(I would never really know what to say)
Take me down, take me out
(Until it's been)

Sight for the age, spare a thought for the grievers
Turning the page it's the day for receivers
Wasting away I can't function this way and I know
How we will pay for sure

Living ideas not living for reasons
You're cursed if you try
But you're cursed if you're leaving
So I walk in crowds
In the sun now it's alright
'Cause I am untrue

Here at the foundry where no one has found me
I've lost and time bounds
Closer beside me my headache surrounds me
I've lost and I'm blamed

Menace for changes collect in me sweeping
Picture my game, join control of the leaping
Follow me down with the crowd
How do you want to go?
Future is slow

I know it's true, all I do counts for confusion
Innocence making a case for illusion
Menace for changes forget all the
Angels you've seen
Time to redeem for sure


2.Woke from Dreaming

Lyricist:Henderson Stewart Gilmour, Emma Pollock, Savage Paul,
Woodward Alun

Woke from dreaming but it took convincing
I was shaking screaming, I was still alive
And you were picking strangers by the side of roadways
Little, little let the danger unfold

You can do what you do
If you think you'll take it
You can do what you do
If you are that way inclined

Suffer with silk as the pressure's tighter
You have skin pale as milk with the pressure on
My heart is getting heavy and my hands are weak now
Hatred lifting and I'll start to weep now

You can do what you do
If you think you'll take it
You can do what you do
If you are that way inclined

Just for a moment can we take a little time
Just stop for a moment can we make this moment mine
I've tried to let go but I've never had much to say
Take a day, take them all now

Just for a moment can we take a little time
Just stop for a moment can we look inside this mind
We try to control but we never quite know what's there
We will kill if we need to

Just for a moment can we take a little time
Just stop for a moment can we make this moment mine
I've tried to let go but I've never had much to say
Take a day, take them all now


3.Come Undone

Lyricist:Henderson Stewart Gilmour, Emma Pollock, Savage Paul,
Woodward Alun

So she said, far enough
Far enough is here
Homeward bound, pieces found
Rest is all you need

Saw a girl, she was taking a walk
She was looking 'round for someone else
She was hiding from everything
Even scared of her own reflection

This is how it feels to drown
This is how we come undone

When you just cannot remember
How you came by the memories that you have
These are days that go on too long
These are days that you really don't want to last

This is how it feels to drown
This is how we come undone

Take me back, the sky and the earth
Just relax, for what it is worth
I love you, dear I will hold you near

I didn't know you were questioning
Why am I running from all I know?
All I know is forgotten now
I think my circle is about to close

This is how it feels to drown
This is how we come undone

Take me back, the sky and the earth
Just relax, for what it is worth
I love you, dear and I will hold you near


4.Sink Or Swim

Lyricist:Henderson Stewart Gilmour, Emma Pollock, Savage Paul,
Woodward Alun

You're a single survivor
Found an ocean between you and those that you lost
Got a phone call this morning
To which your sister said all has been part of the cost

Well, they know what you look like
When they step off the bus and they run to your side
Like they know you from photos
Like they know you from stories that kept you alive

Are you gonna sink or swim?
From coast to coast, it's more than you bargained for
Are you gonna lose or win?
From ties and lies, it's something worth trying for

When they sit round the table
Will you look into faces and just see your own?
Will you talk of the future?
Will you talk of the things that were almost unknown?

Are you gonna sink or swim?
(It's a strange beginning)
From coast to coast, it's more than you bargained for
(After years of waiting)
Are you gonna lose or win?
(It's a strange beginning)
From ties and lies, it's something worth trying for

Are you gonna sink or swim?
(It's a strange beginning)
From coast to coast, it's more than you bargained for
(After years of waiting)
Are you gonna lose or win?
(It's a strange beginning)
From ties and lies, it's something worth trying for

Are you gonna sink or swim?
(It's a strange beginning)
From coast to coast, it's more than you bargained for
(After years of waiting)
Are you gonna lose or win?
(It's a strange beginning)
From ties and lies, it's something worth trying for


5.The Light Before We Land

Lyricist:Jason Lloyd Barnes, Brennan George Chaulk, Christopher Devin
Chaulk, Stephen Keech, Michael Timothy Murphy

In cases such as these, I'd like a hand
Don't wake me up without a master plan
With black and white instead of color
Don't you understand?
When things that once were beautiful
Are bland

And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on, we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time for this head of me
Heaven for us

In truth there is no better place to be
Than falling out of darkness still to see

Without a premonition
Could you tell me where we stand?
I'd hate to lose this light
Before we land

And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on, we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time for this head of mine
Heaven for us

Before we let euphoria
Convince us we are free
Remind us how we used to feel
Before when life was real, ahh, ahh

And when I feel like I can feel once again
Let me stay awhile
Soak it in awhile
If we can hold on, we can fix what is wrong
Buy a little time for this head of mine
Heaven for us


6.All You Need Is Hate

Lyricist:Stewart Gilmour Henderson, Emma Pollock, Paul Savage, Alun
Trevor Woodward

This was how I broke the best
Indifference, overblown with confidence and ignorance it all
made sense
And then I watched them take the test
I believe it's better to inflict than to attempt relief
You ask me what you need hate is all you need

Hate is all around find it in your heart in every waking sound
On your way to school, work or church you'll find it's the only
rule
Build a different world, hate will help you find what you've
been looking for
Hate is everywhere, inside your mother's heart and you will find
it there
You ask me what you need hate is all you need

This was how I won the west
Charity, a joke that friendly cities think that we believe so it
seems
We kicked and punched and stabbed to death
Everyone applauded my fine actions I was overcome
You ask me what I've seen hate is all I've seen

Hate is in the air come on people feel it like you just don't
care
Everlasting hate feel it in the people where it's warm and great
Come on hate yourself everyone here does so just enjoy yourself
Hate is everywhere, look inside your heart and you will find it
there
You ask me what I mean hate is all I mean


7.Coming In From The Cold

Lyricist:Henderson Stewart Gilmour, Emma Pollock, Savage Paul,
Woodward Alun

Step inside
A better dream job you could never find
A set of keys and bottles Heaven wide
Find yourself a seat and settle in for the ride

Raise your glass
We're gonna drink now till the summer's past
So bring the hats out we all need a laugh
And let the neighbors talk then make sure you lose them
We can

Try for the right kind of life
I only wish that you'd had a chance to decide
Have a look around you there's no-one there
How can you call this fair?

Not to blame
No-one's telling you, you're not to blame
Things around they just don't feel the same
And I don't recognize this person that still remains

Settle down
I really hope that you can settle down
Take your tent and trailer out of town
We'll find a place to roam where you could escape to
We can

Try for the right kind of life
I only wish that you'd had a chance to decide
Have a look around you there's no-one there
How can you call this?

Everybody's waitin' for the big surprise
But nobody will notice when it does arrive
So send

Try for the right kind of life
I only wish that you'd had a chance to decide
Have a look around you there's no-one there
How can you call this fair?

We're comin' in from the cold
And everybody's searching for someone to hold
Have a look around you there's no-one there
How can you call this fair?


8.Keep On Breathing

Lyricist:Henderson Stewart Gilmour, Emma Pollock, Savage Paul,
Woodward Alun

I wonder if he knows the pleasure that he shows
I can't seem to hide from the sounds around me
I wonder where she goes, dressed up in those clothes
We just watch her drive away

A woman sees her friends continuous distraction
She fills up the days while she waits for phone calls
A life in evidence is evidently lonely
We all need a tale to tell

Just another list of consequences of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings that we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons and all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing

My view is compromised with undernourished eyes
They watch and they wait for an altercation
These boxes on the road, these overpriced abodes
Will somebody give them life?

We occupy a space with barriers and fences
There's no line of sight into this protection
Forgive us all a cheat, is just another sentence
We all need a tale to tell

Just another list of consequences of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings that we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons and all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing

We will watch and learn, we will watch you perform
Waiting behind the seat telling the tale

I wonder if he knows how far his pleasure goes
It all comes apart at the stroke of midnight
I wonder where she goes, now she's in some clothes
We just hear her drive away

Just another list of consequences of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings that we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons and all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing

Life is just a list of consequences of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings that we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons and all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing


9.Get Action!

Lyricist:Henderson Stewart Gilmour, Emma Pollock, Savage Paul,
Woodward Alun

No one ever said to me that I should write a symphony
But write it, now I've wrote it and the days are growing longer
No hint of allegation or trouble with no patience
And everyone's been mangling my name

I took time to work it out at seats of higher learning
But I never understood a single thing that they said to me
Except, 'Son, you know you think you've got a chance but let me
tell you
We've worked her out and you've come here to fail'

Friend, don't you know
I've got thoughts that I'm scared of
God is for me, is a thing to beware of
Get it on, bag a girl

Every single person who has told you that you couldn't
Lives in fear that you'll achieve the things in life they think
you shouldn't
A parallel digression, unswerving in direction
And that was why they set my hair on fire

You worked out the best of it and I worked out the rest of it
And finally solutions fell around us like in autumn
We were wrong and we were right a bit, we laughed and then we
cried a bit
I'll tell you now, I've not been born to fail

Friend, don't you know
I've got these eyes from crying
You are depraved, I salute you for trying
When I'm gone, you take my song

No one ever said to me that I should write a symphony
But write it, now I've wrote it and the days are growing longer
No hint of allegation or trouble with no patience
And everyone's been laying off my name

Friend, don't you know
I've got thoughts that I'm scared of
God is for me, is a thing to beware of

Friend, don't you know
I've got these eyes from crying
You are depraved and I love you for trying
When I'm wrong, bring it on


10.All Rise

Lyricist:Henderson Stewart Gilmour, Emma Pollock, Savage Paul,
Woodward Alun

Born of no nation, no occupation
Straight was my gate if I mean what I think
Cold heart, emotion king of commotion
Just get me out of this light while I stink

I'm not sure, if I'm in or I'm out
I had hope now where I keep my doubts
But if I had confessions, I'd have concessions
I had to win at all costs so, it ends

Carers give me life, sharers give me strife
I must get out, I need body and soul
I gave you madness, I gave you sadness
I don't have much body and you were all soul

I'm not sure if I'm in or I'm out
I had hope now where I keep my doubts
But if I had confessions, I'd have concessions
I had to win at all costs so, it ends

All rise, all rise, all rise again, it's the end

I'm not sure that my heart can grow
Once around this town has shown
That we're not survivors, we are the givers
At this moment your heart should grow

But I'm tired, cold, used and sore
My childhoods surrounds me
Please come and find me, go lassie go

All rise, all rise, all rise again, it's the end


11.Never Look At The Sun

If you dare
Look up and see what's there
Level your eyes with some surprise
At the truths realized

Now you care and you will climb for air
With some relief you've found your peace
Are you taking us there

Some cold comfort
Is waiting somewhere

Stand out
Now we can see we've been found out
How can this be
We've been hoping and praying
There's one life worth saving

Cold out
Happy to be here without doubt
Too much to see here
I'm hoping and praying
There's one life worth saving
It's not too late

Trust in us if you can trust in us
Follow the lead for hearts that bleed
We're a difficult breed

Once you've found
No longer gagged and bound
Whisper to me, I think I'm free
And the world will turn round

In between us there are colors
But they're hidden from view
In between us there is silence
But it's breaking for you

Some cold comfort
Will tell us what's true

Stand out
Now we can see we've been found out
How can this be
We've been hoping and praying
There's one life worth saving

Cold out
Happy to be here without doubt
Too much to see here
I'm hoping and praying
There's one life worth saving
It's not too late

Hold out
My own reflection, I've found out
Less than perfection
I'm hoping and praying
There's one life worth saving

Cold out
Happy to be here without doubt
Too much to see here
I'm hoping and praying
There's one life worth saving
It's not too late


12.Favours

Started to fight
But I took off in fright
I could not believe
That she didn't chase me

Climbed on her back
With an ambush attack
Down came the force
And down came the briefcase

Quiet before
Then you came to the fore
Not unsurprised
Still happy to see you

You know there's no chance
Not a sniff if romance
And I'm thinking
This is the end of the line

And you're feeling fine
And you're looking for favours
Returned for your crime

Help me to stand
Help me to say
That I don't want to be here
I don't want to stay
I just want away

A hit for a feel
With unconquered appeal
You locked the door
And I started to tremble

Touch without touch
Are we feeling too much?
I can't decide
If I'm feeling able

Eyes that don't meet
Are we too scared to speak?
I can't provide
What you are requesting

You know there's no chance
Not a sniff if romance
And I'm thinking
This is the end of the line

And you're feeling fine
And you're looking for favours
Returned for your crime

Help me to stand
Help me to say
That I don't want to be here
I don't want to stay
I just want away

And I, I'll try to feel fine
While I'm taking orders
From bottles of wine

Help me to stand
Help me to say
That I don't want to be here
I just want away

Touch without touch
Feel without feel
Are we both really hoping?
This just isn't real

Help me to stand
Help me to say
That I don't to be here
I don't want to stay
I can't give today


13.One More Question

Are you smiling in the morning?
Are you smiling in the day?
Are you smiling in the evening?
Are you happy with the day?

Are you smiling in the morning?
Are you smiling in the day?
Are you smiling in the evening?
Are you happy in your way?


14.Coalman

If we try too hard, forgive us
If we try too hard
If we think too much, control us
If we think too much

Take a bow in front of us, now
Take a bow in spite of us, now

If we want too much, ignore us
If we want too much
Can we give some back in offer?
Can we give some back?

Take a bow in front of us, now
Take a bow in spite of us, now

And at once, our voice became one
And the tide did turn
And what was once is over now
What's done is done

And we forgot compassion
For we have won
And justice is ours alone
What's won is won

We have time enough to take you
We have time enough
And when we succeed, we'll break you
And we will succeed

Take a bow in front of us, now
Take a long last look at us, now

And then justice is ours now
And you have none
This life is ours to justify
We won, we won

And it's alright to own you
And you'll succumb
Any freedom's ours forevermore
Your lives are done


15.The Drowning Years

This is the life of a woman with demons
The first time we met I was sure she was steaming
This is my life, this is my life, what a life

Life isn't precious and life isn't sacred
Sometimes release only comes
When you meet death

A night of reprieve we were wrecked
When we slept in the park
When we woke in the morning you cried
Could I squeeze out the dark

Destroy the noises that make all the voices
Get them out of my head
Bring on the screaming and I'll take your demons
Now that I'm all already dead

Days of release when she almost felt better
Gradually faded and words couldn't get her
Where is the light, where is the light, get the light
Fearless and clear all her doubts had been cast off

Last night alive is a nightmare I'm part of
Dreams are a lie, dreams are a lie, so am I
If that's all there is then I might as well get in the fire

Destroy the noises that make all the voices
Get them out of my head
Bring on the screaming and I'll take your demons
Now that I'm already dead

Oh, how the rights of the righteous kept coming
Shining before like the day
I stand before them and cried that you're dying your way

I'm still not sure if the right and the wrong side is one


16.Sucrose

Take a short, take a short change
Taken time, time to rearrange
Slowly does, slowly does good
Hurt if I, hurt if I could

Take another shortcut
Figure out the place to be
What's another
When you're paying worms for free?

What's the word, what's the word gone?
Over up, over up
Get in line, be in time, start
Show me what, show me what you've got

Have you ever earned it?
Pleasantries and drink for thought
What's another set up?
Elevate from what you're not

So, son, shut up, take a motion
You're satisfied when I have tried
No one has it all inside

So, shut up, no one's watching
Take on board what you have scored
Second chances find you floored

Sat sitting on the fence
Not furious with suspense
Quick call it by the seam
Sick, quietly obscene

Never could forgive it
Fallen for the other side
Never could admit it
Fallen for forgotten pride

So son, shut up, take a motion
You're satisfied when I have tried
No one has it all inside

So, shut up, no one's watching
Take on board what you have scored
Second chances find you floored

They've caught us cool
Insubstantial info fools
Joining them in their own fun
Watching favors all the time

Fortune is as fortune does
Line up, line up, without us
We'll take our chances
Take our gain, take it, take it


17.If This Is A Plan

Make it better
Anyway just to make it feel better
By the way I've been eating the hearts again
Now I know you're not worth it
I had time but refused to discuss it

Well, if this is a plan then I'm dead where I stand
I've been cursing the truth like I'm cursing my youth
But I know what it's like to seem wrong when you're right
Hallelujah, I'm down and it's finally happening

You look older, you look harder and tired and colder
Is this what ten years with a dickhead can bring?
Least we know we're not worth it
But you know you could try to return it
All I said was you looked like you needed a friend

Well, if this is a plan then I'm dead where I stand
I've been cursing the truth like I'm cursing my youth
But I know what it's like to seem wrong when you're right
Hallelujah, I'm down and it's finally happening


18.Child Killers

Lately days all seem
The same since I lost my brain
Golden nights will see you through
Darker days need glue

How can I find what's right
In truth our love was the night
What's the point to you?

Goodbye wonder, goodbye brain
This life is insane
No one here gets out alive
Not for life you'd like

How can I find what's right
The truth is our lives were shit
What's the point to you?
Come down, down, down
We have the only gack in town

Understand that it's here
That I'm coming from
If I'm wrong or I'm right
Maybe soon we'll find
Peace in another one
Say goodnight

Eyes of black and lips of gray
When do I get my say?
Hard to come and easy go
Is the life I know

How can I find what's right
The truth is our lives were shit
What's the point to you?
Come down, down, down
We have the only gack in town

Understand that it's here
That I'm coming from
If I'm wrong or I'm right
Maybe soon we'll find
Peace in another one
Say goodnight

Understand that it's here
That I'm coming from
I don't mind if you're right
Maybe soon I'll find peace
In another world
Andy goodnight


19.The City Consumes Us

Streets like the rest of them but I can't forget
Faces familiar and full of regret
I hated this place and all who came from it

Far form the scenery, far from the road
Far from the greenery, lifted my load
We boarded the train to come back again

I was convinced in my mind
I was not of this kind
Faced with the, with banality
I choose colamity

See us
Watch how the city consumes us
Watch how the city destroys us
Prices I'm happy to pay

Walking on pathways I walked with my friends
Year in that some of them have met bitter ends
How can you conceive?
Your friends will be grieving for you
Running from memories, a lonely tonite

Doesn't make remedies
They still survive
I hated this place and I have conform it

I was convinced in my mind
I was not of this kind
Faced with the with reality
I choose revolity

See us
Watch how the city consumes us
Watch how the city destroys us
Cost I am happy to pay

See you coming near
See you walking close to me
Fear inside my head
Fear is never far from me

Walk you in the side
Walk you in the day we met
We will disappear, we will reappear
We can disappear, we can reappear

See us
Watch how the city consumes us
Watch how the city destroys us
Prices I'm happy to pay


20.I Fought The Angels

I fought the angels here today
Hope my defeat will end this play
I only have myself to blame
Everybody knows that
Softly, softly, wins the game

Trust, I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Knew all the time that they came out
Wish I could have them disallowed
Everybody knows that
We say things we do not mean
Everybody knows that
We say things that are unclean

Trust, I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Run conversations in my head
Write my own scripts to dish the dread
And if I speak out loud
I will have to change the rules
For speaking out of bounds
If it's practiced by a fool

Trust, I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend
So lend me an ear to lean upon
To speak to and learn my speaking from
