yes we are all the same in the end
yes we are all the same in the end
yes we are all the same
I hold back from joining into this
it breaks my back
and I want you
it’s not that important to you
it’s important to me
let me out, let me take in the air
let me out, let me take in the air
let me out, let me take…
yes we are all the same in the end
yes we are all the same in the end
yes we are all the same
night falls down on you
turn around, it will swallow you
the story I’ve heard
it fades in front of me
and we all stay the same
we’re unchanged
yes we are all the same in the end
they story I’ve heard it fades
Something
In My Way
Thank god for winter rain,
Clearing out the poison in my mouth,
This city, stuck to me
it summarises all my worries
Collapsing under my own weight
The line on which my movement takes
I fall down, I sink deeper,
Drinking fast so I’ll get there quicker
No where’s perfect, chose this place with care
Always something in my way
Mourning over stupid things I’d change
Always something in my way
I can’t remember things
The walk I took, the colour of your door
I feel sick, I feel worried
I always get there in a hurry
I’m scared of what you’ll think
If I showed you how I really am
I get drunk, I get erratic
But always seem to end up static
No where’s perfect, chose this place with care
Always something in my way
Mourning over stupid things I’d change
Always something in my way
Economy
Class
You come and go with a grace I can’t define
Heavy in my mind
It’s a grace I can’t define
Your face has stayed engraved inside my eyes
You’re thick inside my blood
And heavy in my mind
It’s a grace I can’t define
So go and lose or find your way
And we can share another day
So go and lose or find your way
And we can share another day
We can share another day
Trinity
She spoke with great conviction,
And said, “when you die your soul will leave you
from your feet”
How could she seem so certain?
When life from day to day already has me beat
She made me wish I was pious
She made me wish I was holy
I realised what I couldn’t say
I was envious of the light inside her
She told me about her father
Who said when he goes he’d like her tie up his
affairs
Her brothers aren’t talking
They fought bitterly over who would get the
larger share
Shares no patients for such matters
What concerns her are their souls
I realised what I couldn’t say
I was envious of the light inside her
her parents called her trinity
she was born they became three
Sermonising with her eyes
She looked up and made them wise
I’ll never waste another day
Through indolence and passing phase
I can deal with past and change
Cos I know that I’ve seen the light inside her
How cruel to lose a another
I wonder if her wisdom ever lets her cry
Digging deep for courage
Destined to be the one that’s left to wonder why
She reclined and showed me pictures
Canada
looks nice in spring
I realised what I couldn’t say
I was envious of the light inside her
envious of the light inside her
Her parents called her trinity
she was born they became three
Sermonising with her eyes
She looked up and made them wise
I’ll never waste another day
Through indolence and passing phase
I can deal with past and change
Cos I know that I’ve seen the light inside her
I’ve seen the light inside her
Seahorse Perfect
stand at ease
beside me
I'm tense until
you're close
stretching tight
I'm wondering
what for
sweet and wrong
intention
comes falling
from your mouth
I drink it up,
dark and easy
how can I imagine
all that's gone before?
my hear is geared
to wonder
how did she end
up sorry?
staring into
nothing
you ask to much
of me
worried face
buried in your hands
shake your head
in knowledge
we'll hesitate
then act
settle down or
burn ourselves a bridge
how can I imagine
all that's gone before?
my hear is geared
to wonder
how did she end
up sorry?
make me the
silent one
To Tell You The Truth
I've been holding
out
I've been up and
down
trying to talk
about things
you have both
never seen
lay down
scattered around in pieces
stillness over
the air
that's filling up
on you
payment can never
justify
what you've
started now
then it takes
your life right from you
and you've got no
one else to blame
but with selfless
hope
I'll see you rise
out of this mess again
fall down put me
over and take it
losing always a
game
but failure has
it's own
I can help all I
can
I can help
All I cannot do
is offer you the truth
And it's all in a
book
it's called
motivation
and then we'll
all have a look inside and see
what's been
pulling me down
long, long way
down
long, long way
down
long, long way
down
Sink Down
we climb to a secret place
standing with arms folded high
on you face a scornful smile
is burning through my chest
I'm sorry I disturbed your calm
but you forgot your right from wrong
and I warm to you
yes I warm to you
reformed by the strangest light
cutting through the drunken crowd
past the volatile and loud
who speak but make no sense
I look at friends with a sinking heart
I fear we've all grown apart
but I warm to you
yes I warm to you
wake up you dreamer
don't speak to soon
every cold word adds fuel to the fire
you forgot your right from wrong
wake up you dreamer
don't speak too soon
every cold word adds fuel to the fire
Written
Apology
When I was thinking of you
And how to talk to the dead
With your eyes always closed
they're still alive in your head
I never thought I'd believe it
I never thought about you
with the eyes of
an angel
All you see is the truth
And I’m not lying,
I’m just smiling,
And all I want to say,
Is that I thank you,
but
its a precious feeling,
you
can take or leave it,
And all I want to say,
Is that I found you
I didn’t mean to abandon
everything
that I’ve done
I gave it up for a reason
I’d like to follow the sun
I don’t think that’s wrong or right,
and
I'll accept what I've done
And I’ll make no excuses
Cause I’m the selfish one
Suitable For Frequent Use
crazy friend with smiling eyes
hold me close don't let me die
sparkles like a diamond shines
opens up what's wrong inside
if you've got a minute I'll take you for a ride
I'm concerned you must believe
sweetness gratefully received
crazy girl with x-ray eyes
watch them cut me down to size
if you've got a minute I'll take you for a ride
if you've got a minute I'll take you for a ride
crazy friend with smiling eyes
keep me safe and passified
if you've got a minute I'll take you for a ride
Same
Day, Different Number
Come home, pick the phone up,
Quick your shoes out on the floor
Tired eyes looking through me
Answer machine left screeching in the hall
Your face looks tired and smiling
Can’t you let it fall
So full of new frustration
So you will cry, or not say much at all
It’s cruel to be compared to what’s in the past
It’s cruel to be compared to what’s in the past
Same day, different number
Train fills up like time and time before
Had luck, you get the weirdo one
Says that he hasn’t noticed you before
Your so sure of your difference
that it can’t be ignored
You come to a hard conclusion
You weren’t born so that you could be bored
It’s cruel to be compared to what’s in the past
It’s cruel to be compared to what’s in the past
The Last Post
postcards and letters
and people's addresses
are piled up on top of my table
the book in the middle I haven't been reading
tells a story for sure
I can make no sense
out of this anxious mess
take me far away from this town
I hear you're returning
I wonder for how long
have you got rid of your demons
so now you protect him
you shelved all your doubts and
rock him to sleep in a cradle
I can make no sense
out of this anxious mess
take me far away from this town
see the sand stone wall
to the wind stands tall
it whispers sound advice in my ear
adhere
believe
that something will bring you relief
accept as true
that part of the problem is you
while you were dreaming
feeling the motion
only four hours to go
you and the demon fly over the ocean
god could hear you sighing
god could hear you sighing
Dig Deeper
fill up my heart
with the sadness of your day
if you give it to me
then I will take it far away
baby dig, dig deeper in goodbye
then we'll smile, smile later as we cry
where, where to turn
because I know I've got to leave
I must rush to the chance
that's been placed in front of me
we've got to get out of the rain
we've got to get out of the rain
we've got to get out of the rain
baby dig, dig deeper in goodbye
then we'll smile, smile later as we cry
we've got to get out of the rain
we've got to get out of the rain
we've got to get out of the rain
A Home By The Sea
do you recall a plan that we made
crossing the circus
a place in the town, a home by the sea
I think we deserve this
if there's something wrong I'll notice
I can tell
it's been so long, I know you far too well
for now we'll survive
waiting on tables
cold office calling
our place is still here
we'll come back next year
just don't say we're stalling
if there's something wrong I'll notice
I can tell
it's been so long, I know you far too well
killers come as friends
The Worst Man
shame on you, do you ever use the truth to amuse?
but you knew though you didn't have the heart to pull through
I think I'm gonna have a wake up
it's really not that hard
then I'll take the chance to say that
I see things in the cold light
shame on you, now that everyone has heard
it can't be changed, so move through
and I know you didn't mean to hurt anyone
then I'll take a chance to say that
I could keep that calm
then until my mouth runs empty
I couldn't stop for shaking
I couldn't stop for shaking
