::White Ladder
White ladder
Water and wine
Forever crying
Oh time
Don't wanna feel tonight
There's no rhyme or reason to life
This sweet life
White river
Thunder and war
Forever crying
Oh no
Don't wanna feel tonight
Ther's no rhyme or reason to life
This seet life
To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another valentine
A burning flame
To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another valentine
A burning flame
White ladder
Water and wine
Don't wanna feel tonight
::Please Forgive Me
Please forgive me if I act alittle strange
for I know not what I do
feels like lightning running through my veins
everytime I look at you
everytime I look at you
help me out here all my words are falling short
and there's so much I want to say
want to tell you just how good it feels
when you look at me that way
when you look at me that way
throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
moving out across the bay
like a stone I fall into your eyes
deep into some mystery
deep into that mystery
I got half a mind to scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
so I won't ever have to lose you girl
won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
won't ever have to say goodbye
Please forgive me if I act alittle strange
for I know not what I do
feels like lightning running through my veins
everytime I look at you
everytime I look at you
everytime I look at you
everytime I look at you
::Nightblindness
A million to one outsiders
Nightblindness
Can't see
Your bright eyes are what
The time is
Twenty five past eternity
Hear you listening
To the silence
Coming closer
Now further away
What we gonna do when the money runs out
I wish that there was something left to say
Where we going to find the eyes to see the bright of day
I'm sick of all the same romances
Lost chances
Cold storms
Propping mountains up
On matchsticks
Dragging baskets full of bones
And honey please don't stop
Your talking
Cause there's a feeling
Won't leave me alone
What we gonna do when the money runs out
I wish that there was something I could say
How we going to find the eyes to see the bright of day?
What we gonna do
When the money runs out
I wish that there was something left to say
How we going to find the eyes to see the bright of day?
The bright of day the bright of day
::My Oh My
What on earth is going on in my heart
Has it turned as cold as stone
Seems these days i don't feel anything
Unless it cuts me right down to the bone
What on earth is going on in my heart
Cause my oh my you know it just don't stop
Its in my mind i want to tear it up
Been trying to fight it trying to turn it off
But its not enough
It takes a lot of love it takes a lot of love my friend
To keep your heart from phrasing to push on to the end
What on earth is going on in my head
You know i used to be so sure
You know i used to be so definite
Thought i knew what love was for
I look aroudn these days i'm not so sure
No na na
My oh my you know it just don't stop
Its in my mind i want to tear it up
Been trying to fight it trying to turn it off
But its not enough
It takes a lot of love it takes a lot of love my friend
To keep your heart from phrasing to push on to the end
My oh my you know I just cant win
I burn it down it comes right back again
What kind of world is this we're livin in
Where you never win
It takes a lot of love it takes a lot of love these days
To keep your heart from phrasing to keep your spirit free
My oh my
My oh my you know it just don't stop
Its in my mind i want to tear it up
Been trying to fight it trying to turn it off
But its not enough
It takes a lot of love it takes a lot of love my friend
To keep your heart from phrasing to push on till the end
My oh my you know it just don't stop...
::Babylon
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To ever open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To tell you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon, Babylon
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining, Sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon
::Hold on to nothing
Hold on to nothing
hold on to coldest steel
it chills you down inside
when you see just what is real
paste it up and tear it down
move it on along the rushing road
seventeen Fahrenheit
feel the winter grow
There's nowhere to write it
there's nowhere to write it
there's nowhere to write it down
there's nowhere to write it
there's nowhere to write it
there's nowhere to write it down
nowhere to write it down
write it down
Step down the alley
walking against the stony crowd
trying not to listen
but they shout so loud
chew you up and spit you out
crush you between its finger and its thumb
the world in all its anger
oh and there's always more to come
There's nowhere to write it
there's nowhere to write it
there's nowhere to write it down
there's nowhere to write it
there's nowhere to write it
there's nowhere to write it down
nowhere to write it down
write it down
::This Years Love
This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on
Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
Cos it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
So whose to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
::Silver Lining
Take this silver lining
Keep it in your own sweet head
Shine it when the night is burning red
Shine it in the twilight
Shine it on the cold cold ground
Shine it till these walls come
Tumbling down
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Step into the silence
Take it in your own two hands
And scatter it like diamonds
All across these lands
Blaze it in the morning
Wear it like an iron skin
Only things worth living for
Innocence and magic-amen
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down with talk so cheap
Fools in their madness all around
-Know that the light don't sleep
-Know that the light don't sleep
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
-Know that the light don't sleep
-Know that the light don't sleep
::We're Not Right
Feel the weight if this passing time
All those crazy faces run through my mind
And that song has brought a teardrop to my eye
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
I see this world but I can't relate
Hey that everything must accelerate
Betty Ford oh won't you be my valentine
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No, we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
And now my hands are shaking
But i just can't stop
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
And now my hands are shaking
But I just can't stop
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
When I'm weak and my head is sore
And I feel like I can't go on no more
I come in here where normal rules do not apply
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
::Everytime
Down from the doorway
and into the street
I hear the morning bell
over and over the pattern repeat
I hear the morning bell
and all the faces cold as stone
in the January chill
you have led me into worlds unknown
and I'm walking there still
Everytime now
everytime now
I think of you mine now
I just can't contain
I'm seven feet tall and
there's nightingales calling
shooting stars falling
like jewels in the rain
I ask myself I ask myself
can this life be the same
that spun me round and put me down
and fill me up with shame
and all the heads are turning now
down the Tottenham court road
cause I just can't help but sing it out
case I just might explode
Everytime now
everytime now
I think of you mine now
I can't comprehend
the saxophones blowing
cherry trees growing
right here in my hand
A dance in the moonlight
so high on a June night
magazines strewn right
over the chair
your spine a white ladder
your eyes singing sadder
nothing else seems to matter
as soon as you're there
and everytime now
everytime now
I think of you mine now
I just can't contain
I'm seven feet tall and
there's nightingales calling
shooting stars falling
like jewels in the rain
everytime now
everytime now
everytime now
everytime
and la la la na etc.
::Only The Lonely
I'm raising up my voice
to the walls and to the sky
it seeks no explanation
it waits for no reply
really it is nothing
just a cry to the wilds
I'm delirious with chaos
I'm wonderstruck with awe
in my soul I'm dreaming only
of your velvet shore
when I'm walking there my face
untangles like a child
And only the lonely
only the lonely
lonely could know me
I've been talking all night long
There's nothing more to say
So I'm searching every mirror
for a trace of yesterday
but the air it holds no traces
where the eagles were flying
I'm haunted by the skyline
the concrete and the rain
the window speaks of winter
so I’ll set my heart again
somewhere in the dust
a curlew is crying
And only the lonely
only the lonely
lonely could know me
I'm talking all night long
talking all night
There's a copper moon that's buried
where solitude expands
and distant planets moving
they're weighing on my hands
they're darkening my pages
and there's daylight in my fingers
but it's snowing in my bones
been sucking on the echo
of a thousand telephones
and when we meet again
we will be strangers
And only the lonely
only the lonely
lonely could know me
and only the lonely
only the lonely
lonely could know me
::Faster Sooner Now
hey now, you got me by the tongue
I feel like there's nowhere I belong
and they're working it pretty hard
and they're selling it by the yard
but its more than I can afford
that's all that I know
leader, it comes as no surprise
see now, these are coins that were his eyes
silver dollars and hoods of steel
tell me nothing can be revealed
the more you get it the less you feel
that's all that I know
starts a shivering in my spine
and a fever I can't define
it gets colder the higher you climb
that's all that I know
you kill me with every word you say
I’m dead now, along with faith and chivalry
silver dollars and hoods of steel
tell me nothing can be revealed
the more you get it the less you feel
that's all that I know
colder the higher you climb
colder the higher you climb
colder the higher you climb
that's all that I know
