Funeral for a Friend

Love Lies Bleeding

The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Is gonna grow and die
Well it doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day
(Chorus:)
And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
When my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
All the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
While if the wind of change comming down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Love lies bleeding in my hands

Perfect Strangers

Can you remember remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold spirits of ice
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers
I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Is aching with the dead of the night
Precious life (your tears are lost in falling rain)
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers

The Rover

(instrumental)

It was an April morning
When they told us we should go
And as I turned to you
You smiled at me
How could they say no?
All the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Oh the songs to sing
When we at last return again
Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
Know the streets a seaman he's
The devil in his hole
Oh to sail away
Sailing lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Into the sun the south the north
Lies the first of hope
Shackles of commitments fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowd, yeah
To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah

Oh, yeah
Here we go
Wanted to know, oh

So you thought you might like to,
Go to the show.
To feel the warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
Tell me is something eluding you, Sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes,
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise.
Lights...
Roll the sound effects...
Action...

(instrumental)

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.
So you think you can love me and leave me to die.
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.

You make me weep and wanna die
Just when you said we'd try
Lovin', touchin', squeezin'
Each other
When I'm alone all by myself
You're out with someone else
Lovin', touchin', squeezin'
Each other
You're tearing me apart
Every, every day
You're tearin' me apart
Oh, what can I say?
You're tearin' me apart
It won't be long, no, until
You're alone
When you're lover, oh he hasn't
Come home
'Cause he's lovin', oh he's touchin', he's squeezin'
Another
He's tearin' you apart
Every, every day
He's tearin' you apart
Oh girl what can you say?
'Cause he's lovin', touchin',
Another
Now it's your turn, girl, to cry

Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
Turn, turn it on, turn it on again
