Confide In Me 03:06
lyrics
I stand in the distance I view from afar Should I offer some assistance Should it matter who you are We all get hurt by love And we all have our cross to bear But in the name of understanding now Our problems should be shared Confide in me, confide in me I can keep a secret And throw away the key But sometimes to release it Is to set our children free We all get hurt by love And we all have our cross to bear But in the name of understanding now Our problems should be shared Confide in me, confide in me Confide in me, confide in me Stick or twist the choice is yours Hit or miss what's mine is yours Stick or twist the choice is yours Hit or miss what's mine is yours We all get hurt by love And we all have our cross to bear But in the name of understanding now Our problems should be shared Confide in me, confide in me Confide in me, confide in me And you will see what we can be Confide in me, confide in me And you will see what we can be

Epitaph 02:55
lyrics
What's inside your heart love? Do you have a heart for me? Throw it all upon the fire, won't you tell me you don't belong to me. just let it all go just let the time fade it's only ten years and a day it's only ten years and a day yesterday just let it all go just let it all go, and behind the window is a memory of yesterday is a memory of yesterday and i know i've acted stupid but i always looked stupid to me when life is viewed retrospective we can't erase what we came to be. just let it all go just let it all go and behind the window is a memory of yesterday is a memory of yesterday

Forget your name Forget mine too Where do you come from? Where are you going to?
5.
Churchbells 03:05
lyrics
You thought that the churchbells were weddings a harmony of union and love you ignored all of our warnings our graves will be lost in the flood (lost in the flood) you though that the people were singing chanting your words back to you the test was blue in the morning but you still can't handle the truth (handle the truth)

In My Arms (with Michael Loop) 07:27
lyrics
Step out on the balcony Stand upon the wall Feel the wind in your hair Fantasise about the fall Wake up late in a field Is this the end of it all? No where to turn or place to run Each day we risk it all Are you trying Too hard To be free To loose our guards Are you trying Too hard To be free In my arms And you want to feel this way now And you want to feel this way now And you want to feel this way now And you want to feel this way now X2

What Is A Light 02:33
lyrics
Do you feel extra hypocritical? ultra analytical? stuck for something good to say? Do you not get out of bed? wake up with the dread? of last night and what you said? is your working situation destroying your equation? and blurring all the plans you made? the 9 to 5 life is full of transport strife and your too tired to complain what is a light at the end of the tunnel? relentless travel with no destination to an unknown place with no location no grid reference or compass bearing on the road i walk alone what is a light how do you feel (looped a few times) how do you feel? do you feel, anything at all?

Silver 03:17
lyrics
Oh you got the razor it reflects the light of sunshine from your hands you're a drugged eraser curse dark and light the sun, the moon's starred cosmic fight high on silver high on silver now you know were to go but not where you've been you're a picture shattered out of the frame do you know your name? do you know your name? are they all the same? are they all the same? high on silver high on gasoline high on silver high on kerosine do you know your name? do you know your name? are they all the same? are they all the same? fe-fi-fe-fi-fe-fo-thumb I smell the blood of an English man fe-fi-fe-fi-fe-fo-thumb I smell the blood of an English man fe-fi-fe-fi-fe-fo-thumb I smell the blood of an English man fe-fi-fe-fi-fe-fo-thumb I smell the blood of an English man high on silver high on kerosine

Here In The Far (Ever After Version) 03:55
lyrics
Out in the distance here in the far is the land you dream is the man you are every drop of blood painted in hate makes a fool of you an ugly portrait what do you want to be when you'er big and grown? who do you want to be when you're on your own? what did you really think would come of this? what did you really want when you stoll that kiss broken hearts from long ago have been hurting others broken hearts from long ago will never recover broken hearts from long ago have been hurting others broken hearts from long ago will never recover in the wet street the tramps dance what do they see in each others arms do they feel joy? could it be shame? do you feel that? are we all the same? who are we letting down most in our personal hell we're heroes in our own home we must face it alone like the field to the plough like the sand to the sea like the iron to rust like the axe to the tree the mirror you have is black no face will be turning back tarnished in your golden frame the feeling won't be coming back again broken hearts from long ago have been hurting others broken hearts from long ago will never recover!

Next To You 03:02
lyrics
Sentiment, close down your walls. All of this, I feel so small, next to you, next to you. Adamant, no lines are drawn, losing it, slowed to a crawl, next to you.
12.
Sands 02:44
lyrics
we were blown across the beach across the sands, faces blue numbing hands and the concrete with the sea to stop the ocean here swallow up the path the dogs run along lead-less chasing waves looking out to sea from the shelter of a cave i felt you were with me we will make it through the night we ran naked in the light from the comfort of your seat with the whistling wild wind of night against the glass the dishes in the sink a misery of every mornings thankless task while doves fly out, the pigeons are guided home the winter frost upon the reeds and the red sands a sunset of burning chrome we will make it through the night we ran naked in the light
13.
If I Had A Heart 03:08
lyrics
This will never end 'cause I want more More, give me more Give me more This will never end 'cause I want more More, give me more Give me more If I had a heart I could love you If I had a voice I would sing After the night when I wake up I'll see what tomorrow brings Ah ah, ah ah Ah ah, ah ah Ah ah, ah ah If I had a voice, I would sing Dangling feet from window frame Will I ever ever reach the floor? More, give me more, give me more Crushed and filled with all I found Underneath and inside just to come around More, give me more, give me more Ah ah, ah ah Ah ah, ah ah Ah ah, ah ah If I had a voice, I would sing

Let the sun come down before the beams of your car come around Let the door slam shut erase my mind of you I want it all forgot your heart it won't grow but that everybody knows the army has died england will never rise let the stars die don't let anything else survive but if you think of those years gone by and how we wasted each others time remember, every birthday death's nearer and now you've found you've run out of time because we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old we are getting old

Heart Attack 02:57
lyrics
I want to be asleep now. I don't wanna be in love Your dancing on a knifes edge honey. You're falling from above. I had a heart attack. I had a heart attack. Crying for what I lack Do you want me back? I had a heart attack. I had a heart attack. Crying for what you lack Do you want me back? So maybe you should go, take a shower. Maybe you should wash and go Use the domestic products and dream of fields of gold. And Maybe you should go! Run away! Maybe you could leave me now! It always seams this way, We'll never know why or how because... I had a heart attack. I had a heart attack. Crying for what I lack Do you want me back? I had a heart attack. I had a heart attack. Crying for what you lack Do you want me back? A heart so weak it could be dying, If only you knew how hard I'm trying. All the things I do and say They mean nothing to you, anyway... But the force is coming on way too strong so why the hell should it feel so wrong you kiss me now, I'm so high I could fly. How long have I waited for you to be by my side? You know! I had a heart attack. I had a heart attack. Crying for what I lack Do you want me back? I had a heart attack. I had a heart attack. Crying for what you lack Do you want me back? My heart keeps beating this way.

here, come to the sun come to the sea come to the place and embrace me for we are old for we are young for we've forgot where we've come from and every road, every sea, brings my home right back to me nowhere belongs, no dreams come true. but here i am, standing with you. deep down in the earth is where we'll toil forever more, in love in the soil for we are old for we are young for we forgot where we've come from and every road, every sea, brings my home right back to me nowhere belongs, no dreams come true. but here i am, standing with you.

Got No Home 03:00
lyrics
We hang around, he hit the ground. We're leaving town at first light. We've got no home of our own. Not all alone tonight. We're freer now, without you how - life will never be the same. But we hang around, and leave the town and find a new place. We hang around, he hit the ground. We're leaving town at first light. We've got no home of our own. Not all alone tonight. We're freer now, without you how - life will never be the same. But we hang around, and leave the town and find a new place.

Dust Witch 02:26
lyrics
Every tomorrow is coming, running, closer to you after you in the fields circling you - like shadows do Sing hallelujah, sing it out load, sing abracadabra into the dust cloud. Passing the blurred out lights of houses you have known into the moonlit dances of shadows in the woodlands, far from home It is the witching hour It is the witching hour who knows what they will do It is the witching hour It is the witching hour you better run, they are coming for you you better run run run as fast as you can you better run run run like the gingerbread man

The Suicide Song 01:43
lyrics
On evenings, on weekends, I plan how to die the murder, the slaughter, by your hands not mine my failings, your hailings of others in the light we sneak out, don't hang out, we fade out into night your hand shall empower now I know where you hide the knife there's no glory, never ending story no work must see the light. do it do it do it now.

A Safe Place 03:17
lyrics
Time is passing by, like a comet in the sky, burning up like a disease, infecting ilke fire escaping time is passing by, as the mirror cracked from side to side. the shattered face tries to hide time is forcing us long the road alone. a coffin made to sleep inside is the only safe place now to hide.
