Friends and Lovers
I see her walking past my window
With milk in her hands for the friends that she's made
Got tears in her eyes for the days that have gone away
She remembers a handsome young man
And how he made her laugh
When they ran, ran, ran
And the way he touched so gently
His eyes were blue and strong and free
And they way he said 'Marry me marry me"
And she remembers kissing after dark
And the way he smiled and played so wild
And the way her children laughed
And how she prayed her days would last forever
cause she says her life was just her
Friends and lovers
Friends and lovers
Friends and lovers
I see her walking home
Same time same dress
She wonders when her life became this mess
She needs hello or how'd you do
She'll tell you her stories
How every word is true
She'll tell you every word is true
And she remembers kissing after dark
And the way he smiled and played so wild
And the way her children laughed
But now she prays her days won't last forever
Cos she says there's no life when you got no
Friends and Lovers
Friends and Lovers
Rip it Up
Something must be done
A western face cries from the pages
See a child with a gun
The same mistakes run through the ages
See a bullet burn
Bought from a country we charge with peace
Watch the tables turn
They say they're in the wrong hands but who are we
Rip it up
More than I can say
I wanna rip it up
But these are headlines and they won't blow away
More than I can say
I wanna rip it up
But these are our headlines
Cause these are all our days
How many die before we try
We have the means to end
A genocide won't turn the tide
Ignore a continent
Rip it up
More than I can say
I wanna rip it up
But these are headlines and they won't blow away
More than I can say
I wanna rip it up
But these are our headlines
Cause these are all our days
So where do we turn To get some truth in it
A breath of time holds a thousand voices
Should we get use to it
When the profits god and war rejoices
See the pictures run
Knowing eyes on a ward of death
They know none return
We turn the page. shake our heads
Rip it up
More than I can say
I wanna rip it up
But these are our headlines and they won't blow away
More than I can say
I wanna rip it up
But these are our headlines
Cause these are all our days
Kick the Door
I see your eyes across the room
You shake your hair, I know what you're doing
You know we've played this game before
If you and I walk out that door we're ruined
You said that you had no idea
When you walked in that I'd be here
We've played this game so many times
We've danced and dance, we know the lines
And somehow you forget
You said we were through
You say you miss me when I'm not around
You say I'm drowning
I'm on solid ground
You kick the door
I run and hide
You know that I want you
But I don't know why
It's getting hard
I need your touch
You know that I want you
I want you so much
So here we are again
Scared to tell the truth again
Two easy mistakes
I just lie here silently
I feel you lying next to me
Who's fast awake
Now this is when the shouting starts
We do our best to break our hearts
You know we should be bailing out
There's nothing here worth working out
But you say we can make it
Just one more time we'll fake it
You say you miss me when I'm not around
You say I'm drowning
I'm on solid ground
You kick the door
I run and hide
You know that I want you
But I don't know why
It's getting hard
I need your touch
You know that I want you
I want you so much
Don't tell me that things can change
cause I'll be the one left out in the rain
Out in the rain just trying to say
What I can from this pain
From this pain
You kick the door
I run and hide
You know that I want you
But I don't know why
It's getting hard for me
All I do is dream of your touch
You know that I want you
I want you so much
You kick the door
I just run away and I hide
You know that I want you
But I don't know why
Soul Swimming
Soul Swimming, drowning in blue
Sirens are singing saying nothing is new
I feel the doubt ripping strips from my heart
while my imperfections they threaten to tear us apart.
Soul swimming, diving serene
can't say I'm winning, theres monsters in the deep.
I feel the doubt ripping strips from my heart.
While my imperfections they threaten to tear me all apart.
somebody help me, is there someone out there?
someone console me and show me that you care
because I've dived too deep and I'm trying
I'm tryin' hard just to breathe
Soul Swimming so dark and so warm
but I can enjoy it, as I wait, I wait for the storm
I feel the doubt ripping strips from my heart
while my imperfections they threaten to tear me all apart
somebody help me, is there someone out there?
someone console me and show me that you care
because I've dived too deep I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' hard just to breathe
because I've dived too deep and I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' hard just to breathe
the trick is to breathe...
I'M SORRY
You said you wanted more than I could bring, More than birds can sing
You said you needed time to find yourself, but you found someone else
You said I was your one and only, You said with me that you'd never be lonely
And I drank in every lie
I am sorry... I am sorry
So here I'm apologizing but one question keeps on
rising
Why... why?
We've closed this chapter; leave the title till the end... "your lost and naive friend"
We've built this tower. You built the steps of
sand.
You don't care where I land. You're holding someone else's hand
You said I was you're one and only You said with me that you'd never be lonely
And I drank in every lie
I am sorry... I am sorry
Here I'm apologizing but one question keeps on rising.
Why... tell me why
Lost Direction with credit to magicalmolly and rosamundeb
I'm on this train again
Past the point I've been past
A thousand times
Watching the silver tracks
counting all the cracks
I find in my mind
But all I really need is you...
I go back many years
And visit all the tears
That pushed me down this road
I look at all the crossings
The left and rights of walking
Its a heavy load
All the people I could have been
And past the places I should have seen
But all I really need is...
Yeah, all I really need is...
There must be more to life
There must be more to try
I'm running, yes, I'm running
But I've lost direction
There must be more to life
There must be more to try
I'm running, yes, I'm running
But I've lost direction
All these places a trains can give
With time and rhythm and ways to live
I wish that there were words that I could say
But poetry keeps getting in the way
To let you feel how I felt with that kiss
But the best that I can do is just sing this…
The best that I can do is just sing this...
(harmonica break)
All I really need is you...
There must be more to life
There must be more to try
I'm running, yes, I'm running
But I've lost direction
There must be more to life
There must be more to try
I'm running, yes, I'm running
But I've lost direction
There must be more to life
There must be more to try
I'm running, yes, I'm running
But I've lost direction
Ball of Earth
Steal the night
To a light that's still far away
You're still further
Pace the floor
Find the door through a fish-eyed stare
Sets for tomorrow
Time creeps like a southern storm
Time marches in uniform
But your smile
It sends me a thousand rainbows
Catch my eye, Reflect in this hotel window
I wish that I could see you again
My friend
A ball of earth falls through the sky
A million hearts and souls break forth tomorrow
I send a kiss out to the night
I hope it finds your lips and soon I will follow
Oh...
(instrumental interlude)
Sit and stare at this prize of a foreign sky
No joy forming
Need to share all this wonder I've chanced upon
I need you to see
Cry... wonder who'd hear me now?
Fly into your arms, but how?
But your smile
It sends me a thousand rainbows
Catch my eye reflected in this hotel window
I wish that I could see you again, my friend
A ball of earth falls through the sky
A million hearts and souls break forth tomorrow
I send a kiss out to the night
I hope it finds your lips and soon I will follow
A ball of earth falls through the sky
A million hearts and souls break forth tomorrow
I send a kiss out to the night
I hope it finds your lips and soon I will follow
Oh no, no no...
Steal the night to a light that's still far away
You're still further
In My Arms (All I Ever Wanted)
He sits on his rooftop
She opens his wine
He's drinking alone
And it's not the first time
He stares at her back and his eyes traces that sweet line
He feels the chill
As it touches his heart
Is it the guilt, too much time apart
He calls her name but stops so it's lost in the dark
He sits and dwells on their time apart
Building an empire, Breaking her heart
Searching for words and starting anew
If he'd just listen, then he'd hear the truth
All you ever wanted
All you ever needed
Is here in my arms
All you ever wanted
All you ever needed was here
All you ever wanted
All you ever needed
Was here in my arms
All you ever wanted
All you ever needed
was here... Right here
(instrumental interlude)
He climbed the staircase where nothing is new
The darkness can chill him the dreams that came true
He got it all But they came at a price
Who in here wouldn't live their life twice?
'cause living is nice....
He sits and dwells on their time apart
Building an empire Breaking her heart
Searching for words And starting anew
If he'd just listen, then he'd hear the truth
All you ever wanted
All you ever needed
Was here in my arms
All you ever wanted All you ever needed Was here
All you ever wanted all you ever needed Was here in my arms
All you ever wanted All you ever needed
Was here....Right here
He closes his eyes and the song ends
But who shares love when the replay begins
Pour My Wine with credit to magicalmolly
The wind's been blowing way too long
And I'm starting to lose my mind
And now the rain's started
And I'm broken-hearted
I'm running three hours behind
I know I said that I'd be home in time for the evening news
The world's been fired and I'm so tired
I'm starting to live the blues
Just pour my wine
I'll be fine
Give me time
I'm coming home to you
Another tree's past and it won't be the last
But it's a quarter to three or four (?)
I could hire a car but if they've gone too far
I'm here until they open the door
I keep my pain way down deep
Where no one else can see
It feels so right
But sometimes at night
It's starting to eat at me
Just pour my wine
I'll be fine
Give me time
I'm coming home to you
(bass solo)
(spoken)
Sometimes I feel like I'm in the middle of a really bad Andy Warhol story. When I'm just famous for being fifteen minutes late. I mean, that's on a
good day. It also depends on how important the meeting, or the appointment - the rendezvous - whatever it is. How important it is directly relates to how late
I'll be. Could be a couple of days, sometimes. Almost makes you totally believe that there's someone up there. Someone controlling things. Otherwise,
why would these things happen? Like there's God, or gods, up there... just having a laugh. Having a laugh. Enjoying a glass of wine, and just having a
laugh. Just having a laugh.
Pour my wine
I'll be fine
Give me time
I'm coming home to you
Ah just pour my wine
Yeah I'll be fine
Just give me time
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home
I'm coming home... to you...
SAME RECORD
It's been a war to get out of bed
Fighting a battle both sides alone in my head
I fake surprise when I feel the floor
And I hear a knocking in deep
And its there at my cellar door
And the same record plays on my radio
The same records play on my radio
And the shadow brings dusk till dawn
I look at all that I own
And there's nothing to put on
Nothing here reminds me of me
Two cans side by side cause it buy one get one free
And the same record plays on my radio
The same records play on my radio
Just tell me there's more
If that's all there is
Then there's nothing to explore
And I scream
I'm screaming…inside I'm laughing
I try to be who you want me to be
And every week I buy what you tell me I should read
And I drive the car I'm supposed to drive
I've got 2.4 and my prefect wife
And I'm trying to be who you want me to be
The chat show host on my HD TV
And the same record plays on my radio
Yeah the same records play on my radio
Just tell me there's more
If this is all there is
Then there's nothing to explore
And I'm screaming
Screaming
Screaming
Screaming...inside I'm laughing...
SOMETHING'S WRONG
I know there's something wrong
You've been cleaning the house for way too long
You whisper so I don't hear
That look in your eye says there's no one near
We never talk now, we only shout
Living in silence that's what we're about
Burning bridges and building walls
Biding time until it all falls
I know there's something wrong
I've been killing time for way too long
A day with this luke warm beer
I've got nothing to say, and no one to hear
We never talk now, we only shout
Living in silence that's what we're about
Burning bridges and building walls
Biding time until it all falls
I know there's something wrong
I know there's something wrong
I know there's something wrong
I know there's something, something, something
I know there's something wrong
I know there's something wrong
I know there's something wrong
I know there's something, something, something
I know there's something wrong
I know there's something wrong
I know there's something wrong
I know there's something wrong
Maybe it's all 'cos we just don't get along
This is Happening
These shoes don't fit, I've had them on before.
But I squeeze til they're on because I know what shoes are for.
This waters getting hot, but no one here will move.
We wait til the skin peels off and there's nothing left to prove,
I got nothing to lose.
_________? the sky was falling down
I recognize your face so I don't see you around.
And the money that you made is a laugh while you save
Cause the next chapter is clear, how long til you _____?
Basically I'm hungry, basically I need some love.
These shoes don't fit, I've had them on before.
But I squeeze til they're on because I know what shoes are for.
This waters getting hot, but no one here will move
We wait til the skin peels off and there's nothing left to prove,
We got nothing to lose.
I see the grass top mountains never seen the light
I watched the dried up fountain, ranges pass me by
And this time that we talk, is a real, maybe not,
as the years go rolling by and the interest rates are high
Basically Im hungry, basically I need more love.
These shoes don't fit, I've had them on before.
But I squeeze til they're on because I know what shoes are for.
This waters getting hot, but no one here will move
We wait til the skin peels off and there's nothing left to prove,
We got nothing to lose.
These shoes don't fit, I've had them on before.
But I squeeze til they're on because I know what shoes are for.
This waters getting high, but no one here will move
This waters getting high, but no one here will move
but no one here will move
no one here will move
Boy
Too few letters that were sent,
Too photographs for me to see
Just to know you held your pen, selfish pleasure in my make believe
The nights are way too long, and I'm not strong like you
I cant breathe without you son
My beautiful boy, my beautiful boy, my beautiful, beautiful boy
This house still hold your smell
Your voice still echoes through these walls
I wasnt with you when you fell, I was with you through so many falls
The nights are way too long, and I'm not strong like you
I cant breath without you son
My beautiful boy, my beautiful boy, my beautiful, beautiful boy
My beautiful boy, my beautiful boy, my beautiful, beautiful boy.
