YOU'RE THE WORLD TO ME

Started talking then the line went dead
Never heard a single word you said
Babe i said i'd give my right arm
Every day it hits me side on
Baby, baby you're the world to me

I woke up, the room was cold
Looking tired and feeling old
Cursing all the changes of the sea
The more i cursed into the flood
The less it seemed to do me good
The clearer came my mind then i could see baby,
baby you're the world to me

My head is roaring like a waterfall
Give me everything or none at all
You don't have to turn the sound up
Babe i want you from the ground up
Baby, baby you're the world to me
Baby, baby you're the world to me

Baby, baby you're the world to me
Baby, baby you're the world to me

You don't have to turn the sound up
Babe i want you from the ground up
Baby, baby you're the world to me

Iridescent like a starling
Wont you be my little darlin'
Baby, baby you're the world to me
Baby, baby you're the world to me
Baby, baby you're the world to me

BABYLON

Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To ever open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule

Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To tell you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made

If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

Babylon, Babylon

Sunday all the lights of London
Shining , Sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me

If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

Babylon, Babylon, Babylon

THE ONE I LOVE

Gonna close my eyes
Girl and watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow
As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
‘cross the falling dark

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You’re the one I love

Perfect summers night
Not a wind that breathes
Just the bullets whispering gentle
‘mongst the new green leaves
There’s things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster
Then I'm leaking blood

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You’re the one I love
You’re the one I love
The one I love

Don’t see Elysium
Don’t see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the bay hotel
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won’t you take my hand darling
On that old dancefloor

We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you’re the one I love
You’re the one I love
The one I love

PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you

Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way
When you look at me that way

Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into some mystery
Deep into that mystery

I got half a mind to scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I won't ever have to lose you girl
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye

Yeah na na na na
Yeah na na na na

Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange
For I know not what I do
It's like my head is filled with lightning girl

Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you

BE MINE

From the very first moment I saw you
That's when I knew
All the dreams I held in my heart
Had suddenly come true
Knock me over stone cold sober
Not a thing I could say or do
'Cos baby when I'm walking with you now
My eyes are so wide
Like you reached right into my head
And turned on the light inside
Turning on the light
Inside my mind hey

Come on baby it's all right
Sunday Monday day or night
Written blue on white it's plain to see
That rainy shiny night or day
What's the difference anyway
Baby till your heart belongs to me

If I had some influence girl
With the powers that be
I'd have them fire that arrow at you
Like they fired it right at me
And maybe when your heart and soul are burning
You might see
That everytime I'm talking with you
It's always over too soon
That everyday feels so incomplete
Till you walk into the room
Say the word now girl
I'll jump that moon hey

Come on baby it's ok
Rainy shiny night or day
There's nothing in the way now
Don't you see
Winter summer day or night
Centigrade or fahrenheit
Baby till your heart belongs to me
Thursday Friday short or long
When you got a love so strong
How can it be wrong now mercy me
Jumpin' Jesus holy cow !
What's the difference anyhow
Baby till your heart belongs to me

HOSPITAL FOOD

Just a little something for the pain
Hospital food getting you down?
Honey now I'm not one to complain
But this hangin’ around
Is wearing me out

So patch me up boys take me home
Are you not hearing a word I say?
She sounds so different on the phone
I just sink like a stone
Back to the bay

Tell me something
Tell me something
I don’t already know
Tell me something
Tell me something I don’t know

Don’t seem to have that much to show
For all the hard work, the sweat and toil
You say ‘well that’s right’, and you should know
You’ve been there before
You’ve basked in the glow
You’ve stood in the roar
You’ve tasted the snow

Tell me something
Tell me something
I don’t already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don’t already

Seeing it all so beautiful
The way it oughta be
Seeing it all so beautiful
And turning away
Turning away
Turning away

Tell me something
Tell me something
I don’t already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don’t already know

THIS YEARS LOVE

This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
Cos it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last

So whose to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last

ALIBI

Stone blind alibi
I will eat the lie
Find the word
Could break any spell that binds you
Prayers like ammonites
Curl beneath the lights
How I long to
Bite every hand that feeds you more
Where d’it all go wrong
My Friday night enfant

Where'd it all go wrong
My Friday night enfant
All night busz on a line
It’s only blood on the rime
Wrecks my head every time
It leads me on
Where'd it all go wrong
My Friday night enfant
Where d it all go wrong
My Friday night enfant

Tonight tonight
Tonight I’m running wild I’m running
Tonight I’m running wild I’m running
Tonight I’m running wild I’m running
Tonight I’m running wild I’m running
Tonight I’m running wild

SAIL AWAY

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times I've tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little Darling if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning round inside my head

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

I've been talking drunken gibberish
I've been puching at the bars
Trying to find some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

Repeat chorus

CAROLINE

Caroline
Those crazy eyes that shine
The days blowing through my mind
Like falling leaves

It ain't no good
I tried hard as I could
But you just won't let
My poor heart be

The final war
A steel eyed dinosaur
Girl I want you more
Than I can say

Ah but Caroline
It seems like everytime
Honey all I get is further away

The state I'm in
Got goosebumps on my skin
See the water I'll jump right in
Your heart so free

I'll face the facts
It's paper on the cracks
Girl till I got you right
Back here with me

The final war
A steel eyed dinosaur
Girl I need you more
Than I can say

Ah but Caroline
It seems like everytime
Honey all I get is further away

Wooooo!

The final war
A steel eyed dinosaur
Girl I want you more
Than I can say

Ah but Caroline
It seems like everytime
Honey all I get is further away
Honey all I get is further
And further

And further away

THE OTHER SIDE

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
See you on the other side

Honey now if I'm honest
I still don't know what love is
Another mirage folds
into the haze of time recalled
And now the floodgates cannot hold
All my sorrow all my rage
A tear that falls on every page

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side

Maybe I oughta mention
Was never my intention
To harm you or your kin
Are you so scared to look within
The ghosts are crawling on our skin
We may race and we may run
We'll not undo what has been done
Or change the moment when it's gone

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side

I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
I know it would be outrageous
To come on all courageous
And offer you my hand
To pull you up on to dry land
When all I got is sinking sand
That trick ain't worth the time it buys
I'm sick of hearing my own lies
And love's a raven when it flies

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
See you on the other side
Honey now if I'm honest
I still don't know what love is

FLAME TURNS BLUE

I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah but no-one just a stranger did I find
I never noticed hadn't seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue

Different places yeah but they all look the same
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue

Words dismantled hey and all the books unbound
Conversations though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumour I don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me where the flame turns blue

So I venture underneath the leaden sky
See the freight train with its one fierce eye
And then I listen as it tears the night into
With a whistle and the flame turns blue

In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing

Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
Break in splinters on the pages where I write
That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
Yeah if lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue

In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing

DESTROYER

More panic, than intent
More luck than good judgement
They're raising your body from the ground the dreamer has woken the spirit has spoken they're raising your body from the ground

What you gonna do
When it all comes through
On your pretty head?
Is it so easy to pretend?

Like visions of goya
The silent destroyer
They're raising your body from the ground from the ground

What you gonna do
When it all comes through
On your weary head?
Is it so easy to pretend?

You want it, you need it
Break your back to feed it
They're raising your body from the ground (oh yeah) they're raising your body from the ground from the ground

They're raising your body from the ground hey from the ground
