- 14 Forever
Ten thousand drunken kids in a field can't be wrong
The song must be beautiful or they wouldn't sing along
And if sometimes the kids all seem a little sad,
it's 'cause they're saying goodbye to the youth they think they had
I see it in your eyes, you're sick of me lying
I want to tell the truth but I'm afraid that you'll leave
I sing like a child, to keep me from dying
- Ageless Beauty
Ageless beauty
Cruelty makes its holes
But on the shoreline
Time will hold its promise
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
- Back To The End
In the lido, in the night club
In the empty village hall
In the fountains and the churches
There is no one there at all
At the bottom of the ocean
Where sun hit's Venetian stairs
On the ceiling of the bedroom where our
Bodies trace the stars
- Barricade
Trapped on the terraces, I looked at you and knew
You were the only thing that mattered
There was no one for me but you
In Harmony Street we beat a man
Just for standing there
I held my breath as I watched you swing
Then run your fingers through your hair
- Bitches In Tokyo
You can write my place out of the life you make
And all the things that mattered when you knew my face
Cross off all the ways I failed you 'cause I failed you
But I'm still in your blood
You're still in my blood
A time when all our mistakes made sense, you needed it
A time when all the lying sympathized with sin
- Build A Fire
You're left alone with your thoughts all day
When someone calls you tell
Them that you're ok
Outside the long low shadows creep
You put away the past and you
Try to go to sleep
Time to build a fire time to light it up
- Calendar girl
If I am lost for a day; try to find me
But if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me
All of the things that I thought were so easy
Just got harder and harder each day
December is darkest and June is the light but this empty bedroom won't make anything right
While out on the landing a friend I forgot to send home
Who waits up for me all through the night
Calendar girl who's in love with the world Stay alive
- Celebration Guns
And so tomorrow there will be another number
For the one who had a name
Desert wind and a perverse desire to win
History buried in shame
All the beating drums
Celebration guns
The thunder and the laughter
- Changes
This time in between the day and the night
The light kills my sense of life
So scared, I'll turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
It's dull, this dusk, this desk, this dust
My eyes adjust, I'll blow out the flame
Can you and me remain
- Dead Hearts
Tell me everything that happened,
Tell me everything you saw.
They had lights inside their eyes...
They had lights inside their eyes...
Did you see the closing window,
Did you hear the slamming door?
They moved forward and my heart died...
They moved forward and my heart died...
- Elevator Love Letter
I'm so hard for a rich girl
My heels are high, my eyes cast low
And I don't know how to love
I get too tired after mid-day, latley
I take it out on my good friends
But the worst stays in
Oh where would I begin?
- Fixed
What you want, you are, you always were*
What you want, you are, you always were.
When the plans fall, changing hands
What are the chances of winning
You, you hold my heart
You, you won't let up
after I am caught, touch turns into fisticuffs
- From the Night
From the night
From the opposite side of the light
From the twin planet we never see
From downtown eternity
From the night
From the empty and glittering towers
From the faces you glimpse through the glass
- Hold On When You Get Love And Let Go When You Give It
here's been a lot of talk of love
But that don't amount to nothing
You can evoke the stars above
But that doesn't make it something
And the only way to last
And the only way to live it
Is to hold on when you get love,
- How Much More
How much more am I supposed to break
You asked for time, and time takes you away
I'm alone and you're a man
I need you closer to me
My hands are tied
because I won't say goodbye
I tried
- i died so i could haunt you
Thousands of ghosts in the daylight
Walking though my hometown square
Thousands of faces you touched once
Thousands you lost in the fright
Knock, knock on the door of the house that he knew
The air grows cold around me and you, it's cold
You know that he's there
- In Our Bedroom After the War
Wake up! Say good morning to that sleepy person lying next to you
If there's no one there, then there's no one there, but at least the war is over
It's us - yes, we're back again, here to see you through, 'til the days end
And if the night comes, and the night will come, well at least the war is over
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!
- Life 2 - the Unhappy Ending
[Scene one:] Late at night interior, we find ourselves inside the car
Our hero has just gone too far, his lover bleeding in the back
He removes the Lucky from the pack, he knows now that he can't turn back
[Cut to:] The cherry lights in the rearview
He realizes that he's through
Whispers, "Darling let's have fun"
Hits the exit doing 91, drives until he's in the woods
- Midnight Coward
Sweetness, sweetness never suits me, when I get up to take you home
Maybe it's love, love at first slightly drunk
Now I'm walking with the sun in my mouth
Worry, worry is a well, going to let it fall tonight, from where we stand
What can't be decided
In the morning it will bring itself to you
- My Favourite Book
I was always late, you never afraid, that we could be falling
All our friends would say, maybe we should wait, but they can't see what's coming
And to this day, when everything breaks, you are the anchor that holds me
And that is why we'll always make it
How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
- Patterns
We went swimming, I was drowning
You caught my eye, I could tell
You couldn't catch your breath
What I wouldn't do for you
What we couldn't get through
You're beautiful when you cry
And what you might have done to me
- Personal
[Wanted:]
Single f, under 33, must enjoy the sun, must enjoy the sea
[Sought by single m:] Mrs.Destiny, send photo to address, is it you and me?
[Reply to single m:]
My name is Caroline cell phone number here, call if you have the time
28 and bored, grieving over loss, sorry to be heavy but heavy is the cost, heavy is the cost
- Progress
Caught up in all the day to day
Fight another battle
Fight another battle
Winter trees so bare without their leaves
Falling in the water
Falling in the water
- Set Yourself On Fire
In a village in the hills
House buried to the window sills in snow
In a prison yard at night
An Alsatian barking for the stars to go
In the attic of a house
In the slats of light which creep across the room
In a forest grove at dawn
- Sleep Tonight
We don't want to sleep tonight
Still young like that I count the lines
Beside your mouth that smiles now
My arms reach up as you go down
With buried heads we both forget
All of the past and its regret
Wind picks up, the window shakes
We won't hear the morning break
- Soft revolution
We are here to save your life
The fool, the drunk, the child, and his wife
We won't let the sun go down
We gonna chase the demons out of town
Singing when you feel alone
Backwards through the megaphone
Singing to the ones you love
And the ones you'd like to be rid of.
- Stay with Me Tonight
Baby baby baby got to say what's on my mind
Tomorrow you are leaving and I
Will be left behind
Nothing only changing you're doing what
You got to do one moment between us
One moment to cling to you
Let the darkness fall woah
- Take Me To The Riot ----------УРУ
Grey skies and light fading
Headlamps making patterns on the wall
Uptown it's dead now but
Out here no one seems to care at all
Slick girls and sick boys
And each one lining up to take him home
They hold tight [their coin/they're coy']
- That Girl
I don't want to leave, I don't want to stay
There's always someone calling my name
A hundred days a hundred ways
You break my heart
It's my fault I can't make it last
Break me down when that's too much to ask
It's just a truth I hate to say
- The Big Fight
How could you do it
I couldn't say
Years built on sand
June until May
Second to second
Lied even while you held my hand
It's death for the living
- The First Five Times
The first time, in your backyard
Underneath the plastic sheeting
Outside, it was pouring
And we were drunk as shit
Next time, at a party
When all our friends were there
There's nothing like their mattresses
- The Five Ghosts
When I was a little girl the world was small to me
All the light in my life filtered softly through the trees
The shadows in the photographs
Five ghosts who followed me
I was only truly frightened once
They called my name and said they wanted me
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye
- The Ghost Of Genova Heights
He hoped to be remembered as the one
Who told his men to turn back
And go where we'd begun
Roses are the flower he would prefer
Scatter all his ashes on the pier
Genova Heights, Genova Heights
Are hard to leave, are hard to leave
- The Last Song Ever Written
This is the last song that was ever written
After this, nothing will rhyme
This is the last time that you'll ever see us
After this, you're gonna go blind
This is the last time that there'll be a last time
You'll wake up to the day without it
This is the last time that you're gonna lose someone
After this, it's you and your friends
- The Loose Ends Will Make Knots
It was empty til you came up through the honey
Nothing ever goes as planned
When you’re walking and the lights are changing color
Remember how you held my hand
Remember how you held my hand
How you held
There’s a fire in your chest
- The Night Starts Here
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
The pleasure part, the afterthought, the missing stone in the graveyard
The time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to become a man
The dust at dawn is rained upon, attaches itself to everyone
No one is spared, no one is clean
It travels places you've never been or seen before
- the passenger
Seven forty nine
Night train right on time
Climb the steel stairs
Absinthe brandy wine
Spirits moving in the steam
Compartment forest green
The rattle of the rails
You fall into a dream
- The Stranger
The plane comes down behind enemy lines
The stars shine obscenely above you
You don't speak the language
But you've learned your lines
And you have a gift for
Making people love you
Now you're a stranger now it feels better
- Through the Mines
How do you choose
Was it me or your mood?
That let your hounds of hate out
Out of the gates
You were the place
That I always want to get to
Quick on the draw
- Undertow
Living for only one (When will it stop?)
Caught in the undertow (When will it stop?)
Trying to fight the call (When will it stop?)
Why does the night when we always
All the wind's at your eyes, at your eyes
All the wind's at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes
All the wind's at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes, at your eyes
- wasted daylight
Heat is a heavy head
Keeps me in my bed
Push aside the pillow
The whole room just turned yellow
Three in the afternoon
We still haven't moved
Siren sighs echo
- We Called It Love
I don't suppose you remember me
I was the one who set you free
You lived a lie until I was gone
Pretending I was the only one
Keep tripping upon the things I say
It never worked but we lived it anyway
Cradle to grave, I'll be trailing you
I dreamt I broke your heart and my dream came true
- What I'm Trying to Say
You look so good in the clothes of a poser
And when you smiled all the kids fell apart here
I know a place where it's warm and it's dry, dear
Let me take you there
North of the river all the streets are the same
We can pretend that they don't know our name
And the heat is turned all the way to full
- What the Snowman Learned About Love
"I am Evan and this is my heart, I am Amy and this is my heart, I am Chris this is my heart, I am Touque
This is my heart."
How the heart bends, and summer she sends a sky that refuses to die
With weeds of the sea that wrap round our knees and a sun too hot to go down
You come around, you come around, you come around, you come around, you come around, you come around,
You come around
- Window Bird
Stuck on the wall, the note that you left
I wait and stop for the moment
Your reckless heart, you know you got it
Into the past, I try to sort it
Sort it, sort it, sort it, sort it, sort it, sort it
Out of the fog, you're calling my name
I wanted to call for nothing
- Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...
- Your voice it sounded kind
