The Illusion Of Safety

The Hoosiers The Illusion Of Safety Lyrics
1.Made To Measure

Lyricist:Alan Sharland, Martin Skarendahl, Irwin Sparkes, Sam Swallows

Meet me tonight by the Mulberry Lake
I got two legs that they said they'd break
Such a silly thing to do, fall in love with you

Don't be scared I got plans of my own
We may be born here but this isn't our home
Such a simple thing to do, run away with you

They say they'll come for me tonight
They say they'll come for me tonight
They say they'll come for me
And none of them will comfort me
Unless we leave this town tonight

We're better together
You and I, we were meant forever
Don't get hurt by up setters
You and I, we were made to measure

Don't know how but they're onto us
My lips were sealed, who betrayed my trust?
Such a silly thing to do, fall in love with you

I see stars and there's a pain in my chest
I fell hard but you said baby knows best
My God, what were you thinking of?
We're cut from the same cloth

They say they'll come for me tonight
They say they'll come for me tonight
They say they'll come for me
And none of them will comfort me
Unless we both leave this town tonight

We're better together
You and I we were meant forever
Don't get hurt by up setters
You and I, we were made to measure

We were made to measure
We were made to measure

But if you lied, I'll tear the sky in two
The blood, red moon will hide its face from view
The sea will boil and froth
At very prospects of me and you

I'm taking back this town tonight
I'm taking back this town tonight
I'm taking back this town

Nothing good comes without a fight
Nothing good comes without a fight
Nothing good comes without a fight
And we will brave, we'll make our stand tonight

We're better together
You and I we were meant forever
Don't get hurt by up setters
You and I, we were made to measure

Together
You and I, we were made to measure
Up setters
You and I, we were made to measure

We were made to measure
We were made to measure
You and I, we were made to measure


2.Live By The Ocean

Lyricist:Alan Sharland, Martin Skarendahl, Irwin Sparkes, Sam Swallows

I want to live by the sea, live by the ocean
I did my best to fit in but I outstayed my welcome
I change my name and my friends, run till the land ends
But I'm always waiting for me, no matter how hard I pretend

Somewhere I can be free, so big, it's swallowing me
Along with everything I used to be
Dive in before I explode, where armies are swallowed
Some many monsters in you, some many monsters in you
Some many monsters in you
So many, so many, so many, many, many

For once in your lifetime will you
Do what you want, not what you have to?
For once in your lifetime will you
Do what you want, not what you have to?
Do what you want, not what you have to?

I want to live by the sea, wanna live by the ocean
Though I start over again, I'll never change where I come from
Loss of my momentum set me in motion
My heart and soul were for free but nobody would take them

Somewhere I can be free, so big, it's swallowing me
Along with everything I used to be
Dive in before I explode, where armies are swallowed
Some many monsters in you, some many monsters in you
Some many monsters in you, so many
So many, so many, many, many

For once in your lifetime will you
Do what you want, not what you have to?
For once in your lifetime will you
Do what you want, not what you have to?

Follow me only if you want to
But do what you want, not what you have to
For once in your lifetime will you
Do what you want, not what you have to?
Do what you want, not what you have to?
Do what you want, not what you have to?

Tear it down and start over again
Tear it down and start over again
Tear it down and start over again


3.Giddy Up

Lyricist:Alan Raymond Sharland, Martin Lars Otto Skarendal, Irwin
Nathanael Sparkes, Sam Swallows

Monday left in the morning
And the week flew by
You took your leave without warning
Not even a reason why

Your lips are out to be tongue tied
Are you loud and clear?
Now I'm telling you that I want you, yeah

So now it's bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, baby, won't you giddy up?
Whoa, oh, oh, before my love runs cold
And if you make me wait, I'll give you up
Oh, oh, oh 'cause your love's on hold

You told me I should be patient
That I should bide my time
Bide my time
Can't afford hesitation, no

So now it's bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, baby, won't you giddy up?
Whoa, oh, oh, before my love runs cold
And if you make me wait, I'll give you up
Oh, oh, oh because your love's on hold

Bye, bye, baby, won't you giddy up?
Whoa, oh, oh, before my love runs cold
And if you make me wait, I'll give you
Whoa, oh, oh because your love's on hold
Your love's on hold, your love's on hold
But you won't be told

Baby, won't you giddy up?
Whoa, oh, oh, before my love runs cold
And if you make me wait, I'll give you up
Whoa, oh, oh because your love's on hold

Bye, bye, baby, won't you giddy up?
Whoa, oh, oh, before my love runs cold
And if you make me wait, I'll give you up
Whoa, oh, oh because your love's on hold

Baby, won't you giddy up?
Baby, won't you giddy up?
And if you make me wait, I'll give you up
I'll give you up, give you up

Whoa, baby, won't you giddy up?
And if you make me wait, I'll give you up
Give you up


4.Sarajevo

Lyricist:Alan Sharland, Martin Skarendahl, Irwin Sparkes, Sam Swallows

We were the lucky few
A luck we soon outgrew
And now instead we drift again
How I miss Sarajevo

Oh, we were lost at sea
To pause for thought, then we
Slip beneath the foam
And fall down to the seabed

Good times die young
For the faraway kids on the run
Nowhere to hide the faraway kids
The faraway kids

At night my soul sets sail
In minute detail
When I wake I cry
For I've lost Sarajevo

Oh, the charges lacked all proof
And failed to light the fuse
For the Little Brutes
But I forsook Sarajevo

Good times die young
For the faraway kids on the run
Nowhere to hide faraway kids
Faraway kids

Good times die young
For the faraway kids on the run
Nowhere to hide faraway kids
Faraway kids

Faraway kids
The faraway kids
The faraway kids
The faraway kids

The faraway kids
The faraway kids
The faraway kids

Faraway kids
Faraway kids

I can't outrun
The terrible things I have done
I can't outrun faraway kids
Faraway kids

We, we were the lucky few
A luck we soon outgrew
And now instead we drift again
How I miss Sarajevo
Drift again, I miss Sarajevo

Faraway kids
Faraway kids
Faraway kids
Faraway kids

Faraway kids
Faraway kids
Faraway kids
Faraway kids

Faraway kids
Faraway kids
Faraway kids
The faraway kids, yeah


5.Little Brutes

Lyricist:Alan Sharland, Martin Skarendahl, Irwin Sparkes, Sam Swallows

They caught wind of the weak
And tied him to a tree today
Paul's father says they're pests
Destined to just be strays

They broke his little back
With a little game they played
Boys will be boys
Isn't that what grownups say?

And I just stood there silent
Rooted to the spot
Marveling at how brave I'm not
How brave I'm not

Don't you see
It's already too late for them?
Where are men of action
Can't they do something?

The sun was growing faint
And slipping from God's hand
The day refused to wait
And rushed to bury it's head into the sand

If I could only get up
And stand up for myself
I have to join the Little Brutes
Sadly I'm not bulletproof


6.Devil's In The Detail

Lyricist:Alan Sharland, Martin Skarendahl, Irwin Sparkes, Sam Swallows

All alone I fought the cause
Up against the clock that started me
It's the life anonymous
Trusted with the lives of all of us

I failed to see the flaws in the details I adored
And played God
I played God
Played God

Science lay its heavy head
On my cold shoulder of consequence
Rush where angels dare not tread
Forced the hand of nature's accidents

Failed to see the flaws in the details I adorn
And played God
I played God

Said, oh my God, the devil's in the detail
No, Lord, I just didn't look there

We looked so long, we looked so hard
Looked so long, we looked so hard

Said, oh my God, the devil's in the detail
Oh Lord, I just didn't look there
We looked so long, we looked so hard
We looked so hard and for so long

Said, oh my God, the devil's in the detail
Oh God, I'm pretty sure we looked there
I tried so hard, for so long
I tried so hard and for so long

Said, oh, the devil's in the details
The devil's in the details, oh


7.Glorious

Lyricist:Alan Sharland, Martin Skarendahl, Irwin Sparkes, Sam Swallows

Glorious, make me feel glorious once more

Take your sharp, sharp scissor hands
And cut me some slack and I'll spin you in whole
And put it over your eyes
'Cause I'm charming

Take a long, long look at me
Long, long, look at me
And give me light 'cause the flame has expired
It tired out my many flaws and went up in smoke

I can make you feel better
I can make you feel much, much better than
I can make you feel better than this
This, this, this

Glorious, make me feel glorious once more
And I won't let you down
Glorious, make me feel glorious once more
Time will only tell

Take that sharp, sharp tongue of yours
Sharp, sharp tongue of yours
And cut me in two, I'll attack from both sides
And hide under your skin because I need you

I can make you feel better
I can make you feel much, much better than
I can make you feel better than this
This, this, this

Glorious, make me feel glorious once more
And I won't let you down
Glorious, make me feel glorious once more
And time will only tell

Don't make me cry, it's bad enough
I made it in for lust

Glorious, make me feel glorious once more
And I won't let you down
Glorious, can I please be glorious like you?
And time will only tell

Glorious, can I please be glorious like you?
And time will only tell, and time will only tell

Glorious, glorious, glorious, glorious
Glorious, make me feel glorious once more
