I Want To Be Loved
I want to be rich When I Grow Up
I want to have fun
Dancing on a table with someone
I want to stay on holiday day
Tell my friends I'm not coming back
Don't want to be out on the street
Blowing around like a magazine

I want to race cars.
in these little streets you can't drive fast
I want to break glass
it's the only way to show you that I can't feel what i’m meant to feel
pushing a Square Peg in a round hole
I can't sleep. What is it you need?
maybe you're asking for the wrong things

Sweet morning and I think I….
I Think I'm happy to be alive

Up on a hill far away from all the Madness
Starting to feel this is not what you planned but maybe not that bad

I want to stay on holiday tell all my friends I'm not coming back
I don't want to be be out on the street
Blowing around like a magazine

Sweet morning and I think I must be happy to be alive

People, I can’t shake them
They call back if don’t pick up
People on my island, coming round standing in my sun
For a week or two, if the sky stays blue
I’ll be right as rain
Until someone like you, who got shipwrecked too
Washes up someday

I swear that we’re gonna make
A universe in our own way
When they come, and say your safe
We’ll turn round and swim away

I’ve got everything I want
Until this little moments gone
I’ve got everything I want
The fire that you light is the one I want
The fire that you light is the one I want

Stupid, I’m not stupid,
Just smart enough to write songs
But something keeps us moving
Keeps turning that feeling on
Take a picture frame, hold it up and say
‘The world’s alright today’
Drinking lemonade cos that’s all i could make
With what this life gave

I swear that we’re gonna make
A universe in our own way
We don’t need an architect
If it falls down, we’ll start again

I’ve got everything I want
Until this little moments gone
I’ve got everything I want
The fire that you light is the one I want
The fire that you light is the one I want

And do you realise its real life?
Still got time to get out of the fire
And so we freak out sometimes
Cos we still forget that we cannot fly

I don’t want to go to school today
Nothing but trouble in that place
So I wander through the back street lanes
Kicking a tin can and dreaming

And under the great white clouds
And under the seagulls
Nothing can get to me now
Or tell me I’m crazy

So come with me climb over the wall
Down to the docks where the ships wait
And stowaway, stowaways at sea
Carried out there by the wind

And under the great white clouds
And under the seagulls
Nothing can get to me now
And tell me I’m crazy

And we are free wild birds
Flying above you
Yeah we’re free wild birds
We’re just flying above you all
Free wild birds, flying above you
And we are free wild birds flying above you all

I don’t want to go to school today
Nothing but trouble in that place
So I wander through the back street lanes
Kicking a tin can and dreaming

Started as a game we played to pass time
Feeling like the kings of our castle
People on the outside wondering how
We’ve got all the channels on the TV

And down at the neighbours house
I forget about the world as the game show starts
I sink down in the soft settee
As they pour another tea and the girls all laugh

Oh, what you’re looking for isn’t in this house
And what you’re looking for isn’t under these clouds
A circle and a square that is what we are
Kids in our hearts singing something

Simple like us never wanted much
Just a city that lets us be
Whatever we want
And if they push us down we stand up again
Simple but strong and free
Simple like us.

The cool city kids, so woke and so hip
They’ve got all the answers, tell us how it is
Cos i get confused, when I turn on the news
Animals trying to run the country

And down at the supermarket
Everything is stacked in its rightful place
I look around and it calms me down because
Nothings gonna happen if i play it safe

Oh, what you’re looking for isn’t in this aisle
And what you’re looking for isn’t under these lights
A circle and a square that is what we are
Kids in our hearts singing something

Simple like us never wanted much
Just a city that lets us be
Whatever we want
And if they push us down we stand up again
Simple, strong and free
Simple like us.

Strange weather baby blue skies raining down
Can’t shake the feeling that something’s coming now
And something that calls me but i’m already gone
It’s so long I’ve been here waiting here for this storm

Does it feel good when your heart beats fast?
It’s such a thrill to feel something else at last
When you’ve been a sleepwalker stumbling through years
I wanna go

Storm chasing baby, never enough
Keeps trying to take me, up and away
Storm chasing baby, I wanna feel like nothing could break me

Strange weather baby, I’ve never seen such clouds
Call me and tell me, its raining in your house.
I just want some fun, some tall waves at sea
I just want someone to get in trouble with
To get in trouble with
To get in trouble

I don’t feel at home in this hotel room
You shut your eyes but it’s hard to be someone
What about your friends who say ‘why d’you carry on?
Cos I wanna go

Storm chasing baby, never enough
Keeps trying to take me, up and away
Storm chasing baby, I wanna feel like nothing could break me



Item description

I was driving along the M1
When i saw the lights calling me onwards
And in a second but what seemed forever
I was far away standing next to them

in the darkness yeah
Things start to lose their meaning
In the darkness yeah
Use your imagination

We were having the time of our lives
And then the world grew up and left us all behind
Always running along to keep up
Until we collide again staring at each other

In the darkness yeah
Wait for the inspiration
In the darkness yeah
Close enough to feel every spark

Happiness, gonna find you
Gonna fly next to you all the time
Satellite, are you lonely?
Spinning away in the dark all these years
A family of aliens
Dancing around the kitchen table
Happiness - gonna find you.
Gonna fly next to you all the time

Is it ever enough without love
Without alcohol, dreams and other drugs?
Everybody is shot through with worries
But i won’t be long, i can’t be long until the next high

Hey, you look good in the flash-bulb light
Hey, you are young and free
Yeah, but the second hands ticking
Do you feel you belong to me?

Hey, you are drifting away from me,
Yeah, put your hands on the wheel
Oh, we can walk together
but do you feel like you’re even here?

What’s the point in looking good if no one ever gets near you?

Yeah, can we pin this feeling down?
It seems like the record stopped
It’s just like a hundred parties ending
When you can’t get the thing you want


There’s no point in looking good - if no one ever gets near you, Yeah.

Hey, you are drifting away from me,
Yeah, put your hands on the wheel
Oh, we can walk together
but do you feel like you’re even here?

Hey, you look good in the flash-bulb light
Hey, you are young and free
Yeah, but the second hands ticking
Don’t you feel you belong to me?
Cos’ I do.

There’s no point in looking good- if no one ever gets near you

Yeah, standing there forever,
Yeah, a cactus in the desert.
Please, push the spikes in deep
Someone’s gonna set you free

Standing there forever,
Yeah a cactus in the desert
Please push the spikes in deep
The pain is gonna set you free

It's a bit like drowning
Staring across a busy room at you
But you’re ten miles away
Flying around above the ocean blue

A force of nature
Nothing can touch your white feathers
The stars and the planets
Are calling to you in this crowded room

But you’re already up there
From your chair to the open skies

Its a 4/4 rhythm
But you never found a way to keep in time
You’ve got a blue, blue ribbon
Trying to disguise your sad brown eyes

And you can spend a lifetime
Playing a version of the real girl
Little paths through the thickets
Carry the weight that you can never show

To escape from everything, you flew out to sea so far

It’s hard to ever come back
And the more we look for you
The further away you soar
Should you fall, how to ever catch you?
Oh, the most incredible views
And no one to talk about it to

It’s not hard to see how
Someone you love is gonna mess you up
It’s that hot-cold feeling
A fly in your drink, a little bell that rings

And if you dream in black and white
They say it means you’re a pyscho
And if you feel those thoughts collide
Stretch out your wings and say goodbye

You’re already up there - you flew out to sea so far

Good times always start when you call me up
But i can’t even see you
Its love in the dark

I can tell myself that it's a plastic heart
Impossible to break it
Melt it down

Fifteen hundred birds singing out your name
You didn’t hear a thing
They were singing in vain

Good times always end if you sing too soon
Oh, how i love the silence when I’m with you

A distant voice in you head singing
‘Nothing matters’
Such a hard thing to do
running in between the raindrops
Until the rain stops, nothing matters
It’s just your heart beating too fast
Nothing’s gonna hurt you
Nothing matters

Hey, fade away
Singing ‘nothing matters’

Life on earth is not for some
They’re waiting for some train to come
Modern life runs against the grain
Whirlwinds lift you up again
I wish some hand could reach through the clouds
And drop us down someplace
Where we can’t be found

You’re always dreaming
You’ve got something calling you
You’re always dreaming
I’d really like to be there too.
And i’m half believing there’s a light you’re running to
And you’re always dreaming

You’ve got your headphones on as you float by
With your thousand yard stare
Secrets in your eyes

Thoughts are coming, double time
Isn’t there a way to slow things down?
Constant traffic, never ends
Maybe you could fill my thoughts instead
Keep descending, submarine life
Till everything is so dark and quiet

In my mind, nothing but an empty sea
But you’re somewhere in my mind
I’ve got you coming back sometime
You're still somewhere in my mind

Thoughts arriving- very odd
Do you want to ride on a vapour trail?
Put some money out on the bar
Trying to get to some place very far
What’s inside here? Never you mind
A penny for the thoughts of a stranger

Thoughts are coming double time
Isn’t there a way to slow things down?
Keep descending, submarine life
Till everything is so dark and quiet

So once there was a boy caught in between
Half inside the world the world
Half stuck in a dream
So untamable, so uncontainable
Always on the run from the headlight beams

Once there was a boy as distant as the stars
People had to come pull him back down to earth
Twist his little head, saying again and again
‘You’ll really disappear if you’re not tied down’

Twisted, twisted, twisted heart

Stop the witch hunt, stop turning the screw
It doesn’t matter if the world doesn't dance with you
Send some love back, stop making us wait
It’s hard when you feel twisted in a world so straight

Once there was a boy as distant as the stars
People had to come pull him back down to earth
Twist his little head, saying again and again
‘You’ll really disappear if you’re not tied down’

Mother nature - cruel to be kind
If you don’t belong here, then leave them behind

Twisted, twisted, twisted heart

It’s just enough to be somebody’s island
It’s just enough to keep everything held down
I could have just left you dancing on your own
I could have just run, but I didn’t know where to go

You set me off, and then you watch me fall down
You pick me up, and then you carry me so low
I could have just left you dancing on your own
I could have just run, but I didn’t know where to go

And I’m gonna leave this world in a silver balloon
On to the unknown climbs follow the signs for the moon
There’s a hole in our lives and the sea’s coming in
So let’s leave them, leave them, yeah.

Dreams are gonna drown you someday
You don’t even know how deep you’ve gone
Clutching at the driftwood baby
You’ve still got an island in the sun

Sailing on a sea of red wine
Straight into the arms of anyone
Accidental lovers
You know we didn’t even choose each other at all

Take another small vacation
Does the English winter bring you down?
Lost in your imagination
In your little sleepy Spanish town

Sailing on a sea of red wine
Straight into the arms of anyone
Accidental lovers
You know we didn’t even choose each other at all

But you can’t control a thing like that
And I can’t control anything at all.
Anything at all

Things are getting clearer now
That you’ve got yourself a cool intention
Get yourself all dressed up and you’re
Moving in the right direction

Sailing on a cloud of make believe
Straight into the arms of anyone
Accidental lovers
You know we didn’t even choose each other at all

Sailing on a sea of red wine
Straight into the arms of anyone
Accidental lovers
You know we didn’t even choose each other at all

Yesterday there was a man
Standing in my expensive boots
It’s hard to say where he came from
I can’t seem to shake these substitutes

And isn’t it fine, losing your mind
Bending underneath that pressure
And here’s what it’s like,
Pieces of a life, pieces of a man

It’s here again, scratching at the door
Just when you thought the coast was clear
It’s hard to say how this begins
But why can’t you let me under your skin?

A serenade from the barking dogs
they’ve got news to tell, that they're trying to get across
a little rain in the afternoon
everything's in place but the screws have come
undone in the ground that hold the houses down
pulling up through the london sky like a zeppelin over town

send me up to the stars and planets as i beam the messages back to the radio
in the darkness it holds onto me like a baby bear clinging on to its mama
and I search in reflections but I'm already gone
I just wanted to control something so i turned the tv on

Starlight coming down from a place we can never get to
The streets of another town such a long way from where we're standing now
So let’s dance to the last beat, twist away, twist away while we still can
Starlight coming down, come and take us to where we're dreaming of

coming down through the clouds again
and the world just went kind of inside out then
reach out to feel something real
like an octopus with every arm around some
girl in bar and it’s hard to hold it down
settle into the altitude
we're a long way from the ground

Don't you want to know why i left you there,
Alone on the carousel spinning away?
Düsseldorf looms in the cold grey light
I love everyone that i meet tonight
Another grey town in the afternoon
hello to the girl with the yellow balloon
i haven't got a place where to lay my hat
I long for the five star life like that
She lifts the stylus, drops it down.
The ice is melting all around
Put on, put on your favourite song
Put on, put on your favourite song
Don't you want to know why i left you there
alone on the carousel spinning away,
another grey town and its alright,
I love everyone that I meet tonight
She lifts the stylus, drops it down.
The ice is melting all around
Put on, put on your favourite song
The girl from Düsseldorf is gone
Put on, put on your favourite song
Put on, put on your favourite song
Put on, put on your favourite song
Put on, put on your favourite song

Every time I'm alone with you
The air gets heavy and drips like glue
And every time i take one step near
the strip light flickers and i wake up here
Footsteps fall in time
Every time I step into this place
I can't stop looking for the fire escape
But the devil's gonna win this time
I want you, can't afford not to fight,
yeah i want you can't afford not to fight
No i can't afford, can't afford not to fight
no i can't' afford, can't afford not to fight
I could be the darkness you're trying to find
And you can build walls around every light
But everything falls in time

I can't afford, can't afford not to fight
and our footsteps are falling in time

Standing right behind you
waiting for the flames to rise
its probably just a feeling
probably just an empty line
The temperature is rising
Things are crawling out of the walls
Happy ever after
thank you for the late night call call call
you make me lose my cool
and if you get that thought
step on the spider
working at the coal face,
digging at the love for you
feeling very lonesome
feeling like the perfect fool
little do you know me
i'll make the second hand slow down
something for the late nights
wishing you could hear me
call call call
you make me lose my cool
and if you get that thought
step on the spider
Glory halleluja!
the feeling of a Chinese burn
happy ever after
thank you for your one good turn
I'm feeling very uptight
give me everything you've got
however do you want me
i'm never gonna make this stop
Glory Halleluja

I'm still standing on my daddy's shoes
i'm still faking it i'm still bullet proof
I lost everything that i ever had
I lost everything in a house fire
don't mix it up don't be confused
i'm still turning up, i'm still feeling good
ever lost everything that you ever had?

just start again, you can get it back
sweet surrender, i'm taking everything
maybe you're feeling like you hit me harder
but i have won
don't mix it up don't be confused
there's nothing here that belongs to you
but you can take anything you like
its all coming back in the end sometime
I'm still standing on my daddy's shoes
i'm faking it i'm still bullet proof
I lost everything that i ever had
I lost everything in a house fire
sweet surrender, i'm taking everything
maybe you're feeling like you hit me harder
but i have won
I'm still standing on my daddy's shoes
i'm still faking it i'm still bullet proof
and you can take anything you like
its all coming back in the end sometime

A picture I drew when i was waiting for you
a bird inside a cage just singing for anyone
alone in your car, radio talk to me
a lorry's overturned it was trying to overtake
what were you thinking of?
I was thinking of you
coasting and free, not tied to anyone
who's keeping you awake?
anyone you can find
taking their place, i'm so easy to mistake
I tried to shake it off but your much too clever
not the girl i remember
i tried to shake it
put your hands together and feels like superglue
I know where i've been
in a forest far away
close your eyes tightly and run in the darkness
you've got to you know who you are
you've got to know what you want
you've got to know that i'm not trying to hurt you
I tried to shake it off but your much too clever
not the girl i remember
i tried to shake it
put your hands together and feels like superglue

Falling like everyone else
you don't have time to stop yourself
Oh, i have seen your staircase wind
your smoke rings rise
your thin legs walking through the town
and one more leaf has fallen from the chestnut tree
your four post bed, your two front teeth,
your canvas shoe, its just too bad
your black fringe
can't you see, can't you see?
you're still the same kid you've always been
years ago i worked it out
too many times
you can't fool us now
silence drips into your house
and somewhere the telephone rings on
its just my luck that you came here
your new hair cut, your thin legs walking through the town
can't you see, can't you see?
you're still the same kid you've always been
years ago i worked it out
you won it fair but you've lost it now
Falling like everyone else
you don't have time to stop yourself
Oh, i have seen your staircase wind
your smoke rings rise
your thin legs walking through the town

Tangerine I love you
In the dark, I dream of you
Could it be you came to rescue me?
just to play that perfect melody
hanging round, your lightbulb
coming down your ariel
because i can't close enough you see
to the concrete weight that's pulling me
Tangerine I love you
In the dark, dreaming of you
could it be you came from overseas,
just to dance that foxtrot here for me
hanging round your lightbulb
coming down your ariel
because i can't get close enough tonight
to the heat from your red firelight
how long must I circle before we can touch down
how deep must i swim down, pick up what i found

you're floating in circles waiting to touch down
Tangerine

when everyone's gone the quiet returns
just passing through little hurricane
the melody comes, its plays and its gone
after the storm everything is still
and there's no conversation
i'll talk to myself if i have to
another high street, another hotel
language is wrong walking off beat
and after all the pretty girls leave
who will be here to amuse you so?
you'll never be quite sure when to stop
how many miles 'till the penny drops?
you're taking me back, your east block flat
how will my heart ever get back?
there's nothing here just concrete shapes
i look to the left and i tell you
English architecture is far away
maybe i'm waiting for a bell to ring
a symphony to play
take my shoes away and i will stay
oh i could just lie here and fantasise i'm really somewhere else
another town, another high street
language is wrong walking off beat
and after all the pretty girls leave
who will be here to amuse you so?
when everyone's gone the quiet returns
just passing through little hurricane
the melody comes, its plays and its gone
after the storm everything is still
and there's no conversation
i'll talk to myself if i have to now
And English architecture is far away
maybe i'm waiting for a bell to ring
a symphony to play
take my shoes away and i will stay
oh i could just lie here and fantasise that nothings going to change

Slipping through this, walk to the music
still drifting along like a ghost ship
never gonna stop

send a signal straight to the eye of the storm
picking it up and then you lose it
gone for good
in the deep end looking for your best friend
still finding out what a strange love meant
Santa Anna if i understood, i'd still be here
not a voice inside your radio
Something sweet for your tough luck now
chase it back, shoot that feeling down
Feel the cold front pushing down moving in
travelling on the L.A sun, trying to have some fun
in the back of a cab trying to work things out
you've still got something that belongs to me
haven't you?
Slipping through this, walk to the music
still drifting along like a ghost ship
never gonna stop
Santa Anna if i understood, i'd still be here
not a voice inside your radio
Something sweet for your tough luck now
chase it back, shoot that feeling down

i dropped out i slipped through the cracks
i got the routine off my back
come on, drop down in the dirt
i dropped out i slipped through the hole
i wouldn't bend so i broke the mould
come on, drop down here below
come on, drop down feel it hurt
Strange love come and pull me down
straight back into the underground
street light you flicker and then die
falling down drop out of sight
i dropped down i slipped though the net
you look for me you've got nothing yet
come on, drop down in the dirt
I dropped down i slipped though the cracks
i look at you and i want you back
come on, drop down here below
come on, drop down feel hurt
and everybody watch it now
Strange love come and pull me down
train track into the underground
street light you flicker and then die
falling down drop out of sight

Strange love come and pull me down
straight back into the underground
street light you flicker and then die
falling down drop out of sight
i dropped out i slipped through the cracks
i got the routine off my back
come on, drop down here below
i dropped out i slipped through the hole
i'm looking up and i watch you all
come on, drop down in the dirt
and everybody watch it now
Strange love come and pull me down
straight back into the underground
street light you flicker and then die
falling down drop out of sight

Spell it for me
write it down here
i must be stupid or something
i was in another world watching you all
spinning out of control, devil in my shoe
talk slowly into the mouth piece
you leave your messages for no one
maybe in a 125 years someone will find you here
as for me I'm gone, devil in my shoe
keep on walking on the avenue
going down, following anyone
and even if i knew i'd keep it under my hat
thinking that maybe i'm missing it all
Spell it for me
write it down here
i must be stupid or something
i was under other impressions of where you built your obsessions
and so i turned the search light on, devil in my shoe
keep on walking on the avenue
going down, following anyone
and even if i knew i'd keep it under my hat
The thing is that maybe i'm missing it all
missing it all, I'm missing it all.
Spell it for me
write it down here
i must be stupid or something

I'm coming back to where I started
I never meant to be the bad kid
this feeling came in uninvited
where is everybody hiding

Cristina's so good
she makes me go across town
she makes me to lie down
there's nothing in the way now

I’m coming back to where I started
I never meant to be the bad kid
this feeling came in uninvited
where is everybody hiding

Cristina's so good
she makes me go across town
she makes me to lie down
there's nothing in the way now

Standing in the sidelines,
conversations in the half-light
you remember you're downtown
you really should be on your way now

come back and turn the lights on
throw everything around the bedroom
some things just take you right back
you forget you've got to go soon

Cristina's so good
she makes me go across town
she makes me to lie down
there's nothing in the way now

I'm a walking tower of silence
Haven't I got some place to be?
pushing your friends aside you just move on
Can't tell if you're dancing just for me

We stopped so far from any station
and it's so still and dark outside
Where have you been when you were sleeping?
on the strangest ride

Couldn't you grow a pair of wings now?
pushing yourself above the roofs
and couldn't you be my new relation
You in your fur and leather boots

(chorus)

Been trying to lift your heavy feelings
ticking along like an old machine
come up the front and ride with the driver
shovelling coal and making steam

Old love is leaving now

another train comes to take you where you've got to be
sure enough you never felt so free
south of nowhere you call your friends
got to turn round cos the train track ends

What does it mean to be a rolling heart?
gathering moss because you're stuck so fast
What can you do to get attention now?
struggling up to get a good look down

down, down, that's the wrong way
come, come, come got to repay
it's not so so complicated now
isn't it good when you can feel that old love is leaving now.
(my iceberg girl)
(my steam train girl)

Another day waking up with your conscience stuck
in your hotel room 23 floors up
oh love has come to town
caramel in the mind but I can keep good time
the city below could be anywhere
oh love is pouring down

do you remember how we started out
feeling round in the dark we just didn't know how
oh, leave it all behind
carry it on, the wood pigeon's song
sits on the wire and tells me nothing's wrong
hey, sing to me your song,

I’m leaving you behind, I don't need anyone now
I’m leaving you behind, I don't need anything
so slowly float up high, I can't feel anything now
I’m leaving you behind

there's nothing like waking up with your conscience stuck
in your hotel room 23 floors up
oh love has come to town
combination is fine and I can keep good time
the city below is anywhere you like
oh love is pouring down

oh love is pouring down
we don't need anyone now
oh love is pouring down,
we don't need anyone
so slowly spinning round
I can't feel anything now
oh love is pouring down.

I don't care if it's saturday night
or monday morning
under the plastic sky

I fell asleep with the radio on
i started dreaming
you were in every song

I don't care if you wear yellow or red
standing very tall
on the feather bed

you're falling apart
with your best clothes on
listen to the music
you are in every song

drifting through the night
whatever you're thinking of me
you're probably right
if you are so smart
surely you can see
who ever you're waking up with now
you still want me

and are you trying to dance underneath the sea
moving very slow
coming up to breathe
and what in the world
could make you really feel
you think it's make of plastic
i think it might be real

real enough to fight
whatever you're thinking of me
you're probably right
if you are so smart
surely you can see
who ever you're waking up with now
you still want me
and i fell so far
100 stories high
whatever you're thinking of me
you're probably right.

Everyone talking trying to get near you
hanging around your rockpool eyes
maybe you think I'm dumb or I'm crazy
Why do you think I'm standing by your side?

Carry me back to where I came from
Carry me back to rolling hills
All along I tried to remember
Why I had left why I'm here still

Skeleton Dance with me round the bedroom
Rattling bones and laughing so loud
Happiest dead girl I've ever known
Is leaving me with no doubt.

The cupboard is empty go to your phonebook
back in the car and round to your house
talk about lost times of your childhood
telling me things I can do without

I was the one who made you fall over
Tying your laces, pushing you down
You were the one who tried to get closer
Carrying on till I was worn out

(Chorus)

And I've come to life, at last.
My madness must have left in the night.
oh no, and I’m so glad you've come home

Sat in the kitchen drawing our faces
through the window Coco's there
"Can I come in?" she says and her eyes are green
and then she runs off again

I was the one who made you fall over
Tying your laces, pushing you down
You were the one who tried to get closer
Carrying on till I was worn out

standing on the mainland
the sea's on fire
hanging on a tightrope
don't shake the wire
running down the mainline
you're just in time
you're never gonna know but i think you saved my life

standing on my tip toes so i'll be seen
everybody loves you, it's not just me
listen to the broadcast, can't you see
everybody's saying that you're way too good for me you know

just lie beside me we can burn and glow
break down the walls we built

I think i've done my best now, i'll wash my hands
Who is in the bedroom? its the secret gang
have another breakdown and make some plans
think about the money that you spent on making friends last night

oh tell me truly do you sleep alright?
you must be kidding me

driving, lost on the motorway
lady in the mercedes is smiling
what can she see through her dirty window

lo-lands, spires of the churches enchant me
girls on the bicycles pass me
making their way through their lives so quietly

and oh, now it's late in the evening i'm drowning
visions of you all around me
probably best if I don't stay home again tonight.

Lady, you're trying to get to me slowly
chipping away like a sculptor
and i am a block of your cold, cold marble

Tell me: when will the spell take effect?
and what can l learn to expect?
i'm happy to be hypnotised so slowly

lady, look at the way that you left me
forgetting to kill me completely
stumbling round with my shoelaces untied

driving, lost on the motorway
lady, sitting beside me still smiling,
come to the surface and float so quietly

lady, it's probably best if you leave me
you're dragging us both into the deep sea
What would I see through your eyes if I could get inside?

saturday, saturday, don't be long
I'm going out of my mind.
keep treading water and dreaming on
god, you were so hard to find

if all of your houses of cards fall down
you blame the first day of spring
i blame your bad dreams and your cheap white wine
come to the surface and rise up, rise up, on and on
only love

please mrs. Highton just call me back
i won't sit outside of your door
the girl's made of concrete and wants me dead
she can fuck herself for all i could care

i want to shake this blue, d'you know where i'm going?
travel time has come, a vapour trail and i'm gone
be so kind, as to say, you won't just drift away

write it on your hand, you still can't remember
something left behind, KLM flies in

Contact. It's looking good.
What's that? its not getting through

touch down in the dark and follow the footsteps
Where am I going to sleep? it's never a problem yet.
all night long, keeps me warm
electric blanket.

Contact. It's looking good.
What's that? its not getting through
I'm not lost, i'm just turning in endless circles
in my perfect garden far from this world

thoughts are running round
stuck in a tape loop
the rusting ferris wheel.
spinning above you

all night long, keeps me warm,
electric blanket's on

Contact. It's looking good.
What's that? its not getting through
I'm not lost, i'm just turning in endless circles
in my perfect garden far from this world
And if you're calling i can't hear you darling
lost in your perfect garden far from this world
