Why does she sing these sad songs for me. I'm not the one to tenderly bring her soft sympathy. I've just begun to see my way clear, it's plain if I stop I will fall.
Summer in the city where the air is still. A baby bein' born to the overkill. Well, who cares what people say?. We walk down love's motorway. . Ambition and love, wearin' boxin' gloves.
We're the same. We're five years old. Still trying to change this mold. In the open air i'm cold. No purpose no reasons told. And while i'm waiting for something to say.
Here she comes now sister in shadow. Lights up my day 'til there's no tomorrow. Almond eyes set in olive skin. Betray the anger burnin' white within. .
Fever, I know you've come to take my love. Go away, fever I know your face just like a dove. Fly away, fever turn the lights out. Take a different road, let us be.
When days are just a trail of clothes. Slung over poetry and prose. A red reminder of the things I owe. A songbird silenced in the setting snow. I'm left here looking at the bones.
So it's grey, well so are my favorite cities. And we have, we have all the time in the world here. We'll just stay tucked in the shade and our eyes they can't be blinded.
I'm not trying to say. I'm so much stronger than you. I'm just trying to save you. From that long dark night. . You've been down on your knees. Building up a big brick wall.
Immovable tower come crashing down. An uncertain hour in this little town. Will you step to the edge. Move on in the dark. . Let a new man have your old heart.
At the end of it all. 'Neath the moon's watchful eye. I wanna be judged next to you. 'Cos to the beat of my heart. You set a small revolution. No one ever touched me so surely.
You could go anywhere, anytime and find someone. But how will you know if he's kind. The sun is out but happiness. Only reminds you of the people you hurt.
It's just a simple line. I can still hear it all of the time. If I can just hold on tonight. I know that nothing, nothing survives, nothing survives. .
Silver shone the rooftops, I heard the words, 'You will'. And realized that in your eyes, the force of love could kill. So go and get your wages, get what you deserve.
Someone else's boy, you've had it so hard,. Will you grow up to be you,. Or a sum of your parts just hanging in the air?. Someone else's boy, tell me your convoluted stories through half-rotten mouth,.
Words and music by roddy frame. . Now you're back in my arms again. Let your heart be rearranged. While you were sleeping the reaper's been reaping. The times have changed.
I wake up each morning. Go to work at eight. Come home for dinner. Time to celebrate. So i round up my friends. We made it through another week. We may not have much.
Words and music by roddy frame. . When the rainy season comes. I hang my head. For all the things I've seen. And done and said. And then I wonder why.
Now I've traveled across the ocean. With the same shoes just longer hair. Still carry that picture in my wallet. From the photo booth, yeah, it's still there.
Here come a million Johnny Yens again. Hard pushed, hard bitten, that's a show. They've got their tickets and they're spying out. For somewhere safe where they can go.
I'm saving all i'm not giving. But it's overflowing, evaporating in the air. As i'm walking, i know i'm not breathing, i'm not breathing only air. It's filled with words once spoken by people everywhere.
