I saw you today
You were too far away
It had hurt me to say
It hurt me to say
The words
The words I have to say
I bury the sound
When you're not around
And it gets me down
Yeah it gets me down
My life feels so brown
I just wanna be with you
That's all I wanna do (x2)
Inside my brain
It's just not the same
Is it starting to rain?
It's starting to rain
I just wanna be with you
That's all I wanna do (x2)
Where'd you go?
Dark eyed traveller
I almost feel you breathe
Where'd you go?
Dark eyed traveller
Can you even hear me speak?
You made things bright
When they took the light away
Let me inside and kissed all my tears away
Said you were here to stay
Where'd you go?
In the morning
When I was weighed down with dreams
Where'd you go?
In the morning
When fever pulled me downstream
You made things bright
And you took the light away
Lend me your eyes
And show me a brand new way
Now I just feel dead today
Long time
On the phone line
There's sunshine
When I dial nine
Small breaths
Form words
Like crystals
In warm air
And I want you
For my very very own
In a salty sea
Our voices meet
Long time
On the phone line
There's sunshine
When I dial nine
Small breaths
Form words
Like crystals
In warm air
And I want you
For my very very own
In a salty sea
Our voices meet
On sticks and sand
Lost my money, lost my hands
Blood on my brain
Too much salt in my veins
I thought pain was clean
And I thought hearts were strong
But bones aren't sticks anymore
And a day is far too long
So many days
Never needing any grace
With the kicks and danger
There'd be beauty anyway
And I thought pain was clean
And I thought hearts were strong
But bones aren't sticks anymore
And a day is far too long (x3)
When all the nights are dreams
And not really what they seem
I cut my hair in spite
And set my hands on fire
R U Lonely? (x3)
In the daylight hours
I go out and kill the flowers
Faces all too clear
Keep on looming near
R U Lonely? (x3)
I wish the music
Would play by itself
Shredded fingers
No ideas
I wish this rainy day
Could be the last
Could the world end?
What a Godsend
I wish I could stop
Wishing you were here
But I don't want to
'Cause I still want you
I wish I didn't
Feel so flippin' mad
Don't wanna scare you
Just wanna love you
I wish my life
Could last a thousand years
Then I'd be clever
And go to heaven
I wish I could bring
Nick Drake back to life
He'd understand
Hold my hand
I wish a constant stream of happy shit
Live forever
In world of leather
I wish the rain would just leave me alone
I can't wear that
Stupid rain-hat
I wish I was In Califor-nay-a
Got no perfume (?)
In the Danube
I wish the thing of love meant just one thing
Cinderella, Salmonella
Treat me hard and slow
Don't let me go
Ooh x 4
Strip me of my clothes
Kiss hard and slow
Ooh x 4
Me you,
we two
Trying to begin
Trying to begin
And the wind will blow
But my love won't go
My love won't go
Me you,
we two
Trying to begin
Trying to begin
Waiting for my friend (x4)
And I don't want no one to know
I can't talk with you (x4)
If you don't want me to
Waiting for my friend (x2)
And I don't want no one to know (x2)
I stole the bottle of gin from over the counter and ran. I knew I'd be seen.
I scarpered stifling giggles down the street and hid round a
corner on a side street. I heard him huffing and the sound of his big
feet against the paving. He was getting close. As he rounded the corner
I sighted him up down the barrel of a gun and on seeing his expression
change to one of horror and confusion jerked back the trigger. His body
was jolted back by the force of the bullet and his feet flew forward.
I saw a bright little rivalet of blood arc into the air and I slid the gun
into the waistband of my trousers.
Who the fuck are you lookin' at? (x4)
Is there really a thing like feeling too much? Can you really escape
and numb the real? There's a way of saying, a way of sayin' a shape - I
feel a certain shape and it's complicated. It's not like a square or a circle.
It's like a crystal or diamond, it's clean, unfathomable and it
ends in an augmented kiss.
Who the fuck are you lookin' at? (x4)
Rock Stars are not cool. They're full of this guy called Satan and kids
stuff oozing from their mouths. They wear the shoes of dead soldiers shot by soldiers
Valium horses trotting squeezing through the raspberry blood.
Sometimes I feel so stoopid I wanna quit - get out of it cus I
hate this world and everyone in it - the fat bald men who run it
the fat bald men.
Who the fuck are you lookin' at?(x4)
