Siren

London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do)


I'm coming home to you 
I'm alive, I'm a mess 
I can't wait to get home to you 
to get warm and undressed 
There've been changes beyond my dreams 
Everybody wants me to sing 
There've been changes beyond my grasp 
Things I'm sinking in 


So keep me in your bed all day 
Nothing heals me like you do 


And when somebody knows you well 
Well, there's no comfort like that 
And when somebody needs you 
Well, there's no drug like that 


And when I'm home, curled in your arms 
And I'm safe again 
I'll close my eyes and sleep 
to the sound of London Rain 


Nothing falls like London Rain 
Nothing heals me like you do 
Nothing falls like London Rain 
Nothing heals me like you do 


Blood Of Me


Big ring around the moon 
Gonna rain hard soon 


I know you're gonna leave 
It's like a storm inside 


You're the blood of me 
You're the truth that hurts 
You're the memory 
You're the drug that works 


Why do people change 
When hearts still beat the same? 


I don't believe you when you tell me 
I don't believe you when you hold me 
I don't believe you. You're my medicine 
I don't believe you when you fuck me 


Big ring around the moon 
Gonna rain hard soon 



Heart and Shoulder


Wanna cry for you 
Would it do any good? 
If I rained for you 
It would just be water 
And the night's with you 
And the storm's in your hand 
And you're down and you're down 
And I can't lift you 


I'm powerless to change your world 
I'm powerless to stop the hurt 


I'll give you my heart, give you my shoulder 
Give you my heart, give you my shoulder 


Wanna run for you 
Would it do any good? 
If I flew for you 
You would still be standing 
And it's hard watching 
'Cause I'm part of you 
And it's hard not to 
Not to know what I can do 


I'm powerless to change your world 
I'm powerless to stop the hurt 
I'm trying hard to be your tower of strength 
I'm trying hard to bring you back to joy 


When tht night just cuts you through 
And the dream is lost to you 
When you're worried and confused 
I will give you my heart, give you my shoulder 



What A Feeling


Now's the time when this will turn to fruit 
All the poppies gonna push up through 
And I can see the ground below 
The places that I know, disappearing 
And I can see the winter fade 
I don't feel so afraid it's clearing 


What a feeling, what a feeling 
What a feeling 


Life is only half way in our hands 
Years have passed while I was making plans 
And I could never find the words 
I always felt absurd, and on the outside 
But now I know I shouldn't care 
There's a song already there 
Waiting inside 


And I can feel the clock unwind 
The parts of me I tied are running 
And all the birds are in my head 
The laughter that was dead 
is coming 


What a feeling, what a feeling 
The laughter that was dead is coming 



Valley of Sound


Move me 
Don't try 
Let the music reach me tonight 
Push me into something new 
I've been riding all day on a bus 
Just to listen to you 


I love, I love, I love the look 
In your trespassed eyes 
I love, I love, I love the way 
You can make me cry 


Sink me into stirred-up sea 
Something I can drown in 
Only you can do this to me 


Fill me up 
And drop me down 
Now I'm alive in the valley or sound 
in the valley of sound 
The valley of sound 



I'm the Girl


I've got a memory a thousand years old 
And I know secrets I've never been told 
And I've got jewels I haven't found 
And they'll return me to the ground 


I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl 
You know me 
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl 
You know me 


And I'm a siren; I'll wreck you on my shores 
And I'm Godiva; I'll call you back for more 
And I'm Medusa; and I'm your favourite doll 
And I'm a Georgia O'Keefe 
Hanging on your wall 


I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door 
I'm the mother and the daughter 
of the mother and the daughter before 


 And I remember being born just 
Sound and light and sound and light 
And I remember the first time, 
skin on skin in the arms of the night 
Well how many times have we looked 
Up into the starry skies, and how many times 
have we felt the passion rise 
Every ruby-lipped girl baby, old lady, squaw junkie 
girl after girl after girl, every muse, whore, good witch, 
princess, back arching, year after year after year 


I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door 
I'm the mother and the daughter 
of the mother and the daughter before 



Winterblue


Kiss your lashes, kiss you low 
I'm driven to you like the driven snow 
There's a place for us to lie 
For every lover there's a piece of sky 


To every life there's a light that shines 
to every heart a beat that's true 
Baby, you're my yellow summer 
You're my winterblue 


You know that this was meant to be 
Long ago, a hundred years from now 
Tossing on an open sea 
Love so good it's easy to go down 


Love like a jungle fever 
I'll never never never leave 
through every vein and every fibre 
I'll never never never leave 


To every life there's a light that shines 
to every heart a beat that's true 
Baby, you're my yellow summer 
You're my winterblue 



I'm Alive


Your hands were covered in paint 
The pillow smothered my cry 
You were half charmer half snake 
I lived in dreamtime 


But I'm alive, I survived you 
And the bitter taste, the years I wasted 
All the hate is gone 
'Cause I'm alive 


Some nights I'd sleep in the car 
Just to escape you 
You drove devotion too far 
No-one could save you 


I still have visions of you 
I still have nights to get through 
And when the trust isn't true 
I have these visions of you 


But I'm alive, I survived you 
And the bitter taste, the years I wasted 
All the hate is gone 
'Cause I'm alive 
Ride on and fade away 
There's nothing more to say 
Ride on and fade away 
There's nothing more to say 



Widescreen


Lately I've been sinking down 
Thinking I'm the only one 
Drifting in and out of blue 
But destiny's a state of mind 
And today I'm doing fine 
Just rolling throught the afternoon with you 


And it's a widescreen world around me 
And I'm lying on the backseat of my mind 
And it's a widescreen, got you beside me 
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine 


I will be your misfit queen 
I'll take you where the grass is green 
Past the littered sidewalk to the sun 
I hear the traffic move outside 
Yeah, but if I close my eyes 
I can make it sound like waves rolling on 


And it's a widescreen world around me 
And I'm lying on the backseat of my mind 
And it's a widescreen, got you beside me 
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine 


And if we lie still, can you feel the room 
Can you feel the city, can you feel it move? 
Can you tell your body, your body from mine? 
Can you la la la lie 



Paper Cup


Wishful thinking I might be yours 
Drifting on every step 
I'm always drawn to the darkest horse 
Sweet sweet nothing's said 


And every dream is just a dream, after all 


And everything stands so still when you dance 
Everything spins so fast 
And the night's in a paper cup 
When you want it to last 


Wishful thinking you might be mine 
Every shiver sends 
One breath under the bridge of sighs 
Bending where the river bends 


 And every dream is just a dream, after all 


And everything stands so still when you dance 
Everything spins so fast 
And the night's in a paper cup 
When you want it to last 



Avalanche


I lie in a field, in the trailor-park of my dreams 
Saving up for someday 
But what does someday mean? 
And I'm young but I let it slip by 
I'm co-dependant and I'm lost inside 
 And you, you look like freedom 
You look like the avalanche I need 
The avalanche I need 


And there's a road, leads away from here 
And every day I stand in place and watch it disapear 
And there's a bird, circles in my mind 
Security's the whore in me that never lets me fly 
And you, you look like freedom 
You look like change 
You look like the avalanche I need 
The avalanche I need 


With your sunburned soul 
And your hunger for the road 
I'm snowblind and crying after 
Like nothing matters 
When you go down take me 
When you go down, yeah, make me 
I got a hunger you could feed 


And I know it's a fine line divides 
The place I'm looking for and what's inside 
And I know it's a long, long way 
Throught the outskirts of everyday 
And you, you look like freedom 
You look like change 
You look like the avalanche I need 
The avalanche I need 
Avalanche 



Make You Mine


You're the one I think about time after time 
You're the one who comes to me, visions in the night 
I want to complicate your feelings 
I want to heat you up inside 
Yeah, I wanta make you mine 


I'll be your sun coming up 
I'll be your dog days 
I'll be your new morning 
Kiss you baby 
I'll be the bluebird singing 
I'll keep you warm 
I'll take you deep in 


Gonna make my bed beside you 
in the bluebells of your soul 
Gonna slip into your river, linger in your shoals 
And when the stars are bright like fireflies 
And the night is black as coal 
I'm gonna make you mine 


I'll be your sun coming up 
I'll be your dog days 
I'll be your new morning 
Kiss you baby 
I'll be the bluebird singing 
I'll keep you warm 
I'll take you deep in 


On another side of time 
Before the sea runs dry 
On another side of time 
Where the love runs high 
I'm gonna make you mine 
make you mine, make you mine 



Ruby Red


I've got a ruby red desire 
Like a virus like my last hope 
I've got a ruby red desire 
I've got to hear the red bird sing 
I've got to rip this cord 
And rinse this lazy blood 
Clear a path and walk away 


I've been waiting for the sky to fall 
I've been thinkin I could lose it all 
I've been waiting for the saftey net 
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet 


And every memory's a dream 
And every uncertainty reminds me why 
I saw a kid outside playing by a moonogate 
making paper things that fly 


I've been waiting for the sky to fall 
I've been thinkin I could lose it all 
I've been waiting for the saftey net 
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet 


I want to live 
I want to live 
I want to live 


Not Only Human


Morning is almost here-let it wait 
I just want to lie here awhile, tempting fate 
I don't think I could breathe now with you gone 
But it's not weakness, it's just something I've begun 


Maybe there's a light that's always on 
Maybe we're not only human 
Maybe there's a light that's always on 
And we're not only human 


When you're sleeping you're ceramic 
You're surrounded by little stars 
Every shimmer is a searchlight 
Every planet is ours 
Change the street, change the decade 
Still the longing's left inside 
But why am I too small to carry you? 
Why does twilight make me cry? 


Maybe there's a light that's always on 
Maybe we're not only human 
Maybe there's a light that's always on 
And we're not only human 


When all the weight is gone 
When all is said and done 
We're not only human 


Life is something set to music 
I can hear it when I'm sad 
There's a chord in every muscle 
every kiss you ever had 
There's a power when you're near me 
In our heads or in our bones 
I know nothing but I'm guessing 
When we die we're not alone
