These are the words but not the truth God bless them all when they speak to you But that′s alright On an empty stage Sing out when There′s no other way
Come drift the town where secrets lie Where friends and neighbours keep drifting by But that′s alright You′re here to stay Sing out tonight The empty page
I always thought I′d see Your name in flashing light You did it all for free, girl And freely ripped the night You′re free to fight
These are the words but not the truth God bless them all when they speak to you But that′s alright You′re here to stay Sing out tonight The empty page
Do you remember the time When you were new in town You smashed your head in the mirror, baby And kissed the frozen ground Yr ripped up sound
The empty page has wasted down The empty page is ripped The empty page will waste this town
Skimmin′ the tops of tall trees Through the clear light of free speech A sudden memory disease Claims the air all around me
I′m gettin′ lost in the slipstream Maybe relive the same dream Of comin′ in from the cold And losin′ half of my soul
Memory disease Across United States
That I had told the truth Feel so high Architectural I look to the skies To see our bodies They were rising up Out of the paper cup
A sea change is due I don′t seem to (?) you Touchdown on the new mason-dixon Line-up map was ripped and torn Jilted frame with all hope gone And I don′t mind if you sing a different song Sing a different song Just as long as you sing Sing along
It′s later than it seems [x3] Time everyone came down(?) It′s what you didn′t say it′s what you didn′t say Don′t wanna be a slave It′s what you didn′t
Skimmin′ the tops of tall trees Through the clear light of free speech I′m comin′ in for a landing I′ve got a solid standing It all comes down to a word It′s just like nothin′ I heard Over the rainbow in time Will be one hell of a climb Eye lights bright The lights sweep high clear sky Sky Reminiscent Of money in your eye Unwind
I don′t mind if you sing a different song Sing a different song Just as long as you sing Sing along It′s later than it seems It′s later than it seems It′s later than it seems
New ears are listening It′s what you didn′t say It′s what you didn′t say Don′t wanna be a slave It′s what you didn′t say
Send the moon thru the skylight Bells together outrageously Noiseball, flirtatious example Bless her soul to further degree Theatre goddess, film destroyer New York girls are sure to enjoy her Fuzzy peach, teenage computer A shocking figure in the eye of the universe
I am dead by the beauty of strangers In horror my eye-head transforms them Into smiling beautific roommates From dust to dust they create rock and roll Here comes something: you are Lou Reed Transformer cracked by the backyard stream Killer tunes, bubblegum disaster

[Lee] When the phone rang, 3 in the morn, dead middle of night There was nuthin on the line I set back the silent receiver / tiny flames lit in my head Hey did any of you freaks here ever remember lenny? I can′t remember his last name He′s turned to dust now, one of the chosen few Left out in the rain, out of town again Left out in the rain, ocean bound I guess
Between the matress and a column of hazy faces I remember every word you said Quite a clear picture ev′ry word you said The door was open but the way was not lit And there was no way out of my head
On a crimson hiway by a chrome bumper I last saw you: Alive / inclined to thrive / evening fireflies lit sparks around yr head
But wait a minute let′s back up a bit: Some famous stars were busted by the thought police down on fashion avenue Impersonating real men / not knowing who they really were Now here at dark corners all is calm and quiet and good The kids are up late dreaming quiet questions in a graceful mood:
Can you please pass me a jug of winter light? Fold me in an ocean′s whim? In sweet corrosive fire light? In the city made of tin?
Are you famous under the skin? Familiar with the things you wanted? Able now to take it all in? Making peace w/ every hole in the story?
Did lightning keep you up all night? Illuminate the soot and grit? Can you tell how high the sky tonight? Dig out from under in spite of it?
Can you cover up the one that floats? Can you push back the hours? I hear yr voice, I speak yr name Among nyc ghosts and flowers Will we meet? to run again?
V1 when the rats run riot and the screen door slams when the trees grow quiet nothing but cats and cans when the breeze says ′try it′ but you can′t hardly see when yr love has died and you rat on me BR1 I see yr eyes in the half light I see the number on yr wall endless strange things I see at night you don′t see anything at all CH1 shine a light into yr soul city streets so freezing cold city shadows mark the route when they let the rats out V2 RATS you call it love alright that was the catch a cold suicide BR2 let me place you in my past with other precious toys but if yr ever feeling lowdown in the fractured sunshine I′ll help you feel the noise CH2 shine down you can go on home shine down go V3 RATS yr working overtime you are the moon beyond yr mind when the rats run riot and the screen door slams when the world goes quiet you won′t know where I am BR you could be my open road you could be the reason why you could ease my heavy load but i′m gonna freeze you out now CH you can let it shine keep that in mind when they let ′m out this time you could move a little closer until yr leaning all up around my shoulder city shadows mark the route when they let the rats out
Let me introduce you (feel the wind soooo) Since you saw my shadow self Living underneath you (over here) She can′t resist a tickle out I′m a girl scout Searching for the new stuff
Did I mention that it melts away (all gone) She puts a sign out (i want a) Out of order (i want a building that stays) Makes you strongly disobey Guiding you away (i promised you) Chiding you away
So quick to hide when I turn around She will rise just to embarrass me She likes to dance when it′s dark inside Just a flashlight there, for a guide Try to catch me if you can It′s free and wild, watch where you stand Below the net, desire it grows and grows Like a strawberry not a rose Prickly patch don′t you stand on me Squishin′ down in the mud Aah!

She′s hearing voices call her She′s hearing voices warn her She just can′t sleep in her bed She just can′t sleep She′s falling down the stairs She′s tearing out her hair She′s screaming my name, in the night To keep her warm
She got a red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Milk of amnesia
She′s scared of the blacks And she′s scared of the Jews She is walking around She is yesterday′s news And she screams out my name In the dead of the night She is leaving my room She is crying on her side Walking on eggshells Walking on glass Burnt by the mirror Burnt by the light Feeling rejection I′ll burn down your house Tearing down posters I was never alive
I′ve been driving, a mid sized car, I never hurt anyone Is that a fact? The price of gas keeps on rising Nothing comes for free Make like a stone, make like a plant I can tell you, how this ends
We′re going to win this With spades and truncheons, guns and trowels That is how the war will be won Just swat the fly Taking care of cars and bodies Nothing ever comes for me The ghosts are here, red white and blue
I can tell you how this ends We′re going to win this
He said you′re just as boring as everyone else When you tut and you moan And you squeal and you squelch He said that you′re just as boring as everyone else Nothing ever happens

Run run run run run run And you cannot run or ever, ever escape You cannot run or ever hide it away Something glorious is about to happen The reckoning
They go you′re just as boring as everyone else When you tut and you moan And you squeal and you squelch They go you′re just as boring as everyone else Stuck past timing The fear and the yearning The fear and the consumption The fear and the yearning It′s gonna eat you alive They go...
And you cannot hide or ever, ever escape And you cannot hide or ever put it away Something glorious is about to happen The reckoning
They go... They say... They go... They say... They go... Why′d you have to get so hysterical? Success, success, success is over Why′d you have to get So fucking useless
War war war war I want to declare a war My fist breaks your porcelain nose There are other things that hands can do To create or to destroy, mini gods and goddesses First person singular Set it set it set it off

We dance to the sound of sirens We dance to the sound

Well there were 7 years between us seems that all my friends were right That we can′t survive on your bedroom eyes and a Spanish guitar When we started this it was paradise, not just Bethnal green And it′s just not right this waiting game, making a cuckold of me
I can be as cruel as you Fighting fire with firewood I can be as cruel as you Fighting lies with lies If you need time...
And it′s just not like me to lash out, but enough is enough Tell me what the others can do that I cant Translucent and sun bleached skin, when did you get so LA How can you desert me after all we′ve been through Stuck on a dream that somewhere its better You′ll be the one missing out
I can be a cruel as you Fighting fire with firewood I can be as cruel as you Fighting lies
I am on Switched on A sudden clearness, a clarity Hidden away, in every locked toilet I′ve been waiting for you ing the Joiner′s Arms I know your name I know your name I′ve danced with you We′re all friends here Silver slugs lined up like bullets Rolled up twenties, they disappear
You make my tounge loose You make my tounge loose I am hopeful and stutter-free You make my tounge loose You make my tounge loose I am hopeful
Friday night I do all the talking A pint and a fight, the dance floor is mine Truth serum and limbs that won′t listen Drunken "I love yous", on top of the world
And when it runs out We′re chasing something we′ll never catch And when it runs out We buy more A flatness so bleak, I′ve been bitten by a vampire A flatness bleaker than the one it replaced
You make my tounge loose You make my tounge loose I am hopeful and stutter-free You make my tounge loose You make my tounge loose I am hopeful I can charm I can charm them all
Wake up dreamer It′s happening without you Cut your hair and shave your beard You squandered your chances I′ll give you a thousand pounds To show me how you do it Stop being so laissez-faire We′re all scared of the future
Been training vipers to come for you In your dreams to release you Been training vipers to come for you In your sleep And the ravens are leaving the tower And the ravens are leaving the tower Make your peace
I′ve got a taste for blood Leave the weak, leave the young I′ve got a taste for blood I′m walking out without you You will kill or be killed It′s about progress I′ve got a taste for blood
Wake up sleepyhead It′s happening without you Such a nice guy You tell me everything twice Whipcrack speed jump We will run backwards Stop being so laissez-faire We′re all scared of the future
We make plans for big times Get bogged down, distracted We make plans for good times All neon, all surface So kiss me before it all gets complicated I′ve got a taste for blood
Ion square, perspex swings I breathe out, you breathe in Permanent midnight Our love, our love How we′ve come to depend On each other to the end The space between us has disappeared You finish my, you finish my words for me
I remember how it began So many great days in a row Barefoot on Bishopsgate Trying to find Blake′s grave If we could stay like this in a silver foil Trapped in amber for a life Permanent midnight Our love, our love
I carry your heart here with me I carry it in my heart I carry your heart with me I carry it in my heart
Who said unbroken happiness Is a bore, is a bore? Who said it, my love? I don′t mind it Anymore, anymore And I reach out a hand over your side of the bed Pull that blanket over your shoulders exposed to the night And the hunger of those early years will never return But I don′t mind, I don′t mind ′Cause I love my mind when I′m fucking you Slowed down to a crawl Years of crime and the bread line Have not at all dimmed your shine So let′s stay in, let the sofa be our car Let′s stay in, let the TV be our stars I found my dancing shoes but they don′t fit All the bright lights do is bore me They bore me
I carry your heart here with me I carry it in my heart I carry your heart with me I carry it in my heart
For my sweetheart the melancholic, you have crossed the river styx And the waves have taken you away As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it your veins Wake me up when u come to bed
So toughen up Biko toughen up Biko toughen up This world isn′t kind to little things
Was my love strong enough to bring you back from the dead If I could eat your cancer I would but I can′t So I keep writing these songs for you To steal you from your grey And we can dance in our front room again
So toughen up Biko toughen up Biko toughen up I need you be strong for us So toughen up Biko toughen up Biko toughen up This world isn′t kind to little things
Don′t you know that when you stand you stand up for the both of us Remember that when the darkness looms Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do
