From the stomas came the novation It rattled the foundations of the house that I live in Now I can′t live there anymore

This party isn′t working, oh no Yeah we need to find days like we used to Living off a shoe string Never, never knew what the night would bring
Now you look like you′ve been up for days People walk in Then they fall out There′s really not much to shout about
Still you rack ′em up, knock ′em back Line ′em up, put ′em down Have a little taste, then you look about
Yeah you rack ′em up, knock ′em back Line ′em up, put ′em down Have a little taste, then you figure out And it all comes out
And you say I just can′t get there, no more So tell me which way′s out? You say I just can′t get there, no more So tell me which way′s out?
An′ I put your picture right up on my wall I said show me how to walk Show me how to talk Show me how to be a man That′s all I need
An′ I really put all my faith in you Then you left right there At the top of the stairs With your mind half gone And you never even cared
Still you rack ′em up, knock ′em back Line ′em up, put ′em down Have a little taste, then you look about
Yeah you rack ′em up, knock ′em back Line ′em up, put ′em down Have a little taste, then you figure out And it all comes out

You say, you′re thinking of me And you′ll do it at any cost And you say that you believe in life Any love you′ve never lost
Everything keeps changing on me I can′t tell you how I feel People shift and re-arrange on me How should I know what is real?
And it has been shown You can get broken bones And it has been proved There′s so much to lose
When we try to live as one We try to live as one
You ask me where I′d be And to you I just can′t lie There were only ever two women here You and the rest have passed me by
And yes, I′m thinking of you Can′t switch you off at any cost While I figure out these rules of love And pretend I′ve never lost
But I lost from the start I was kicked back hard Intake and back draft blew Then the flames consumed
Well, we try and live as one We try and live as one
I′m not making plans for tomorrow I′m just figuring it out You can beg it, steal or borrow Or count me out
See the moment disappearing And the joke is getting thin I see my enemy appearing And I′m him
We try to live as one We try to live as one Can we try to live as one? Oh, we try to live as one
When you get back, when you get back, ohh When you get back, when you get back, ohh When you get back, when you get back, ohh When you get back, when you get back, ohh
Midnight’s calling Are you close behind? Midnight’s calling Are you close behind?
Trees without leaves and notes that don’t ring Wine left to rot and a voice that can’t sing And hours of making love in silence And a light that just won’t shine in the darkness
Could I be any clearer? Could I speak any plainer? I need you here Just to lean my way And fall, fall, fall
She scolded me for my sinful and wicked ways Towered above me – do you follow? And watched with concealed pleasure As I ripped out my heart and said I’m just bad, I can’t help it But I tr-tr-tr-try to be good
And trees without leaves and notes that don’t ring Wine left to rot and a voice that can’t sing And hours of making love in silence And a light that just won’t shine in the darkness
Could I be any clearer? Well could I speak any plainer? I need you here Just to lean my way And fall, fall, fall
′Cause people make you lonely People make you lonely sometime.
I lost the sacred feeling but I Made a couple of friends and now Our things have never looked so good Our things have never been so clear And now I′m alone with you I′m always up all night And I get music running in my head And I, I lose the strength to fight Cause I, I′ve been up all night She′s been up all night We′re, we′re just up all night
This town is for the counterfeit dreamers And maybe I′m one too, well I I keep my hand behind my back when I I don′t know what else to do The streets that I grew up in, they might mean Nothing to you, but I I′ll show you where I come from if you please Just tell me what I′m supposed to do
Cause I, I′ve been up all night She′s been up all night We′re, we′re just up all night
That sweet and sacred feeling you know Will never last long Every time you turn around you′ll see One more part of you, yes it′s gone I need your spirit darling And lend me your helping hand, and I I′ll meet you in the morning When I′ve broken up the band
Cause I′ve been up all night She′s been up all night We′re, we′re just up all night
And I′ve been up all night She′s been up all night We′re, we′re just up all night I′ve been up all night...
It′s a big big world And you can do what you like You can do anything you want Because darling, it′s your life But don′t go back to Dalston Don′t go up the junction Don′t go round the houses
But just come back to me Come back to me Come back to me Come back to me
It′s a big big world And you can do take your time You′ve got your friends And I′ve got mine
Don′t go back to Dalston And no, don′t go up the junction Don′t go round the houses
But just come back to me Come back to me Come back to me Come back to me
Come back, come back, come back Come back, come back, come back
There′s a stillness to the thrashing of despair There is a calm in the rush of your stare And I′m now beyond care Experience being gained, we′re back to back
And strain to strain, there is a stillness Breathes in you and me Music calls without answer Where the darkness lies heavy
And the beast has no master And the spirit no name And the angels are hushing And they dance in soft shame
This hysterical house could collapse in the night And the hinges will buckle Liars choke on their spike But the darkness has a hunger It offers you blood for wild blood
And you be on wondering Why you′re still not good enough There is a glory in the pitch of your desire And a calm in my gaze as my feet are retired
Our pulses exchange, we′re face to face Finally higher and wire to wire Ohh, wire to wire, wire to wire
Signal to satellite, bullet to beast Frequency is higher, ohh I′m apart of this illusion, I′m for blues blood To which new feeling do we go? Wire to wire
Oh when did you decide To start living like it′s suicide And wasting all my time And messing up my mind Oh now darling please leave me alone I′m so tired I wanna be on my own But you come on calling on my telephone And I wish I could show you somewhere better Better to go
And when you get there Well if you freak them all out With your sweatshop charm You′ll leave them in no doubt
And when you get challenged You′ll only lie about your age But it′s the distance you travel And the fields you unravel And all the bars on your cage
Oh now darling please leave me alone I′m so tired I wanna be on my own But you come on calling on my telephone And I wish I could show you somewhere better Better, better, better to go
To somewhere else Somewhere else, somewhere else
Oh you′ve got to... Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Oh just leave me alone What don′t you understand Just leave me alone What don′t you understand! What is there to understand? Just leave me alone Just leave me alone Just leave me alone Just leave me alone
Everyone is losing it Everybody′s given up Given up the ghost And turn it in on themselves
Lets head for somewhere Absolutely anywhere Get outta here And leave this city alone
So let me know, I′ll take you there Just think it over Then take what you need
Concealing a weapon with the light turned it low You see it like that now
Oh!
Some have it easy, but this is hard to touch T′ to define yeah, but then its all too much Hard to want, yeah, you′re hard to get yeah You′re hard to play yeah!
So let me know, I′ll take you there You think it over You take waht you need
Concealing a weapon like the pick to your soul You′re sunning the truth now
But I believe in you But I believe in you But I believe in you
Hey!
I know you will find you drawn to You are the new you, you, you
If it is as you say and it′s coming your way Who will stop ya? If it is what you do and it′s all up to you Don′t watch your TV when you′re broken up
These middle class kids are so strange Get everything for nothing, nothing comes your way Emotional, bored and self contained Full of fronted self delusion but I guess that is the way to be a
Tabloid lover, one bed to another Tabloid lover, splatters any other Tabloid lover, rocks to box runner Gotta get to cover, finally you discover You are what you are
If this is what you do and it′s all up to you Who′s gonna stop ya? Who′s gonna block ya? If you get it every day and it comes every way All much emotion when I′m trying to dream but
Middle class kids are all the same Get everything for nothing, nothing comes your way Drugged up, bored and self contained And I guess, I could just leave it but I′ve gotta find a way to kill a
Tabloid lover, splatters any other Sad sec mother, one bed to another Tabloid lover, rocks to box runner Pound it, I′ve found I′ve got to get to cover
And who will stop you? Don′t watch the TV when you′re dreaming Who will stop ya?
Tabloid lover, one bed to another Tabloid lover, splatters any other Tabloid lover, she can′t get another Can′t get another, can′t get another
Well, tabloid lover, rocks to box runner Tabloid lover, hey, street stunner Tabloid lover, can′t find another Can′t find another, you can′t find another
You make yourself a prisoner of me You blind yourself so you don′t have to see You turn your life to a power above You make yourself a hostage of love
You turn from me, you turn from the strain Devote yourself to the power again Distance yourself from all that we vowed You broke those rules, you′re my hostage now
I am a sinner and I am a saint I am a devil, I am a ghost at the wake God feed the swell and pull of your tears as they break I am the limit of the load you can take
You are the pulley and I am the winch I am salvation and you′re herald of sin I′ll take you beyond your limits of trust Ransom yourself, hostage of love
You see we′ve been born again Since you′ve slept there in that lion′s den, den You can not be saved You gave your innocence away, ohh
I′ve turned my cheek and I′ve suffered the blow Truth of my story is widely unknown Word of derision, I have swallowed with a smile For telling my story I have been crucified
Now like a mad man, I give my laurels to you Like a hero, forsake my trophies for you No where disciple of this devil that is in the blood Am I not also your hostage of love?
You see we′ve all been born again Since you′ve slept there in that lion′s den, den You can not be turned Until your innocence is old
And you seek out to live alone Though it hurts to make it on your own, own You cannot be saved You gave your innocence away, ohh
You will be made a hostage of love Hostage of love, hostage of love
There′s a full moon over this ancient town A clock faced the color of the sky And every street that we walk down Belongs to the house where my father died
Where prisoners march in luck step with each other Reavers test the limit of their reign Dragging their dead weight from the other While I claim my place, center stage
I′ve been thrown by the thrashing of his going Chained to his unseen stride I′ve walked in luck step without knowing My indifference, my only disguise
Now it comes through me like an injection Anonymous pain throbbing real inside And every pulse in my body Belongs to the house where my father died
Won′t catch his spirit in a candle On or alive in it′s guttering glow And death comes through these streets like a scandal Bent up and beaten, oh, a bitter body blow
And in bars and shaded back rooms Those who can′t cope just get high But every place this drink takes me to Belongs to the house, where my father died
And there′s a full moon over this ancient town Head lights numb the banner of the sky Rain rages the steadings and the open ground And I′m a child fighting shadows with tears in my eyes
And the valley cannons and thunder Trees blow beneath the bruising of the sky Like centuries shield the lake from my wonder And I′m as helpless as a child hiding from life
And the face from my mind is fading I count the wounds for the very first time Tonight there′s gonna be a reckoning I′m entering the house where my father died
Well it′s a close one, a real close one And no-one gets hurt, but she′s got twice the fun But now they kiss in the rain And did someone call out someone′s name From a white cadillac on a wide wind To her white dress across the great divide Into the warm moonlight And she′s been reading Bukowski for days And she leans over, spits her name in my face And says "Well now you know how it feels" Well now you know how it feels
And I was looking for you Looking for you Looking for you in the city last night
The boys in the band steal a kiss in the mystery of the night 11:59 to zero, live a blonde hair in jeans, holds her tight Turns on the heat and starts to fight and sayin′ "that′s my man" Well the myth of love must have been there The spirit of possession was there
And the boys over at the bar Yeah they′re mixing up their medicine The girls were on their mobile trying to get reception Johnny′s shadow′s getting long but he keeps on singing His shadow getting long but he keeps on singing:
And I was looking for you Looking for you Looking for you in the city last night
And people so strange People so strange People just keep talking in the city last night
Take off your shades and scroll down to number nine You′re living on the guest list, up against the big rack Head back, hand highs, it′s getting loud in here Think you′re going to have to shout And she′s tearing off her clothes He′s stirring all his drinks, oh yeah Streets divide them It′s an empire of signs Honey say she can read And it looks like trouble And it tastes like chocolate if you want it It looks like trouble And it tastes like chocolate if you want it
Still I was looking for you Looking for you Looking for you in the city last night
And people so strange People so strange People just keep talking in the city last night
And I was looking for you And I was looking for you And I was looking for you in the city last night
And I was looking for you Yeah I was looking for you Yeah I was looking for you in the city last night
It′s alright! It′s alright! If you say my name It′s alright!
Wild is the wind that strips away our sins Yours is the night, but you don′t know where to begin But I heard you say You′ve got a feeling that it′s just around the bend I heard you say Sometimes you fall into the arms of no-one at all I mean to say that that′s alright I did what I could! Oh, sometimes I run Yeah, sometimes I fall L O V E, I′ll see you later L O V E, I′ll see you later
Yours is the fire that gets in my head Mine is desire, so let it burn down your bed Cause I heard about those stories, yeah I guess everyone has I heard them say sometimes you fall Just on your own with no-one at all I mean to say that that′s alright I did what I could!
Oh, sometimes I run Yeah, sometimes I fall L O V E, I′ll see you later L O V E, I′ll see you later
Oh, sometimes I run Yeah, sometimes I fall L O V E, I′ll see you later L O V E, I′ll see you later
What is love but the strangest of feelings? A sin you swallow for the rest of your life? You′ve been looking for someone to believe in To love you until your eyes run dry
She lives by disillusion glow We go where the wild blood flows On our bodies we share the same scar Love me, wherever you are
How do you love with a fate full of rust? How do you turn what the savage tame? You′ve been looking for someone you can trust To love you, again and again
How do you love in a house without feelings? How do you turn what the savage tame? I′ve been looking for someone to believe in Love me, again and again
She lives by disillusion′s glow We go where the wild blood flows On our bodies we share the same scar
How do you love on a night without feelings? She says, love, I hear sound, I see fury She says, love′s not a hostile condition Love me, wherever you are
Love me, wherever you are Love me, wherever you are Wherever you are
I′ve got a flaming road to karma and a mobile phone Was raised by the radio in a broken home I′ve got a broken smile an arrogant line I′m really no one special but I′m in my prime
I′ve got a hot body girlfriend I′ve got a wallet full of cash You can bury my body I′m just North London trash, trash
I′ve got a flaming road to karma and I′ll do it alone I grew up with the TV in a broken home I′ve got Match of the Day, black converse I′m really no one special, but I′ve seen you do much worse
I′ve got a hot body girlfriend She helps me spend my cash Then we roll on my floorboards Like nouveau North London trash
If you don′t unblock this rifle it′ll blow I′ve seen a ship like you come and go I′m North London trash I′m North London trash, trash
Yeah, yeah, yeah, trash Trash, trash, trash
I′ve got pandemonium in my blood, I′m at fever pitch I could marry her for the money but she′s known to be a drag On my collateral and my arrogant streak I′m really no one special but I′m here in my prime and my peak
My hot body girlfriend She makes the cameras flash You can pin up our bodies But you can′t kill North London trash
And you ain′t bad looking son, she just ain′t looking for you You ain′t bad looking son, she just ain′t looking for you You′ve shown a lot of fight, but this ain′t your night, or even your year You ain′t bad looking now, watch where you′re looking now Is anybody looking now? Oh, trash
She was swinging from her handbag on the King′s Road Fresh from boarding school and double barreled shame Now there are worms in her skin She′s razor thin, her eyes are pinned I get the, "Daddy never noticed" story again
She takes me to a warehouse in the city Her gaze as vacant as a byline in the news And I reach in disbelief then resign myself She′s slumming it in someone else′s shoes
Burberry blue eyes This town is not so small If you take everyone to bed And leave the lights all on Somebody will see it all
The details of your midnight operations The tears you′ve been spreading around And your story′s so predictable You spent too long just hanging around, hanging around
Oh, she was brought up from a distance by the usual Rattlers and tattlers from the best guarded schools Auditioning to be an obituary in the Daily Mail The yawning scandal of the daughter of the duchess breaking rules
Burberry blue eyes This town is not so small If you bang him in the car And leave the doors wide open Somebody will see it all
You′re becoming so predictable You spent too long just hanging around, hanging around
I get plugged in at another phony party Convinced that now there′s really nothing left to lose ′Til I turn around and watch her disappearing He′s got his hand in her pocket, she′s got her eye on his shoes
And I know I′ve been converted to old currency Somebody new will guarantee her bootleg soul I′ll be her proof of purchase counter trophy And help her die a little more, deeper in her hole
Burberry blue eyes I guess, we′re just not meant to be If you blow him in the club And leave your eyes wide open Somebody is going to see
The details of your midnight operations The tears you′ve been swallowing down And your story′s so predictable The end so unavoidable I′ve never seen you earn your thrills You′ve spent too long just hanging around
Oh, Burberry blue eyes Oh, Burberry blue eyes Oh, Burberry blue eyes Oh, Burberry blue eyes

But if you hold on Well I will hold on too And if you reach up Yeah I will reach up too
Well now your here in your life Its such a long way down Somehow you figure it out So now you turn it around But I know
But if you hold on Well I will hold on too And if you reach up Yeah I will reach up too
Too...too.. too.
And one thing before you go Just let everyone know You refuse to regret it Just like everyone said you would Just like everyone knew you would
Just say that you can Sleep at night Just say that you get nervous With the struggle you fight
You cant believe what your told And you cant be alone and you cant let it go and you cant lose control and you know You are not just anyone No your not just anyone
And if you hold on Well I will hold on too And if you reach up.. then I will reach up too And if you hold on.. and I will hold on too And if you reach up..
If lust and longing were all we knew And love was kissing on the roofing view Of the office workers and their camera phones My heart would pump to let you know That you could take this song, if it′s any good at all
Hide it somewhere when your new love calls And if he asks if you hear his music playing Tell him it′s the rattling of old bolts and chains That held your heart in but now you′re starting To forget you ever knew me and you won′t let me in
If lust and longing were all we knew And you were someone special, and I was too For would you take this song, put it on your wall Hide it somewhere when your lover calls If he asks if that′s music playing Tell him that the rattling of old bolts and chains
How it went old so quickly but that was long ago When you could fall in love with every one you know And consume the songs like DNA Cut me open and tell me what they′d say
Pierce my skin with your own elbow Stake Sebastian can tell you what he knows about that And how it feels, oh ohh, let me in
She says, break the rules now Talk like you′ve got nothing to lose Don′t dance with nobody else And he′s drunk at the wheel again Ooh, must′ve be somewhere with a monster smile It′s way too tight
Let me tell you what I know She′s got to leave this alone Ohh, find a way out of here She can still make it home
Now we both know longing, how it gets under your skin But then I saw you making eyes at him When you can take me over, take it all Close that distance, smash that door Beat me up or take my car One last time before you crawl
But when your lover calls Under the bed when his bullet falls If he asks if that′s music playing Tell them that the rattling of old bolts and chains
In the night when you watch it fall You gotta do now Is let me in, let me in, let me in
She fixing stubs onto her belly She walks like she′s got nothing to lose Still she just can′t look at no one else
While in the basement there is blood on his knees Turning to see what she would feel When everybody has gone home Let me tell you what I know
We could just leave this alone, ohh And find a way out of here He could just make it, her [Incomprehensible] in their tongue And she′s in a basement crime She can′t give this much of a fuck again
So she′ll go to another with dodgy heels on Dance with him to the beat of this song Teach him up not be this much at his hopes And then just another number on a generation kill Dance, dance, too much time to kill
I know a girl with the golden touch She′s got enough, she′s got too much But I know, you wouldn′t mind You could have it all if you wanted You could have it all if it mattered so much But then all they know is how to put you down When you′re there, they′re your friend But then when you′re not around They say, "Oh, she′s changed" We know what they mean Well they mean, they′re just jealous Because they never do the things That they wish that they could do so well
That kind of girl, yes she′s never alone You leave a thousand messages on her phone But you know you never get through And you could have it all if you wanted, girl You could have it all if it matters to you
