For One Moment Lyrics - Marc Almond

The hurt I hurt 

Is nothing like 

The hurts I've hurt before 

The things I feel 

Do not feel 

Like things I've felt before 

And the loneliness and the emptiness 

And the hopelessness are fine 

'Cause sometimes my cloudy brain remembers 

For one moment you were mine 

The pain that pains 

Is not the pain 

That pained my heart before 

The tears I tear 

Are not the tears 

My eyes have teared before

Get To Know Charming Folk Trio, The Accidentals 

And the loneliness and the helplessness 

And the uselessness are fine 

'Cause sometimes my cloudy brain remembers 

For one moment you were mine 

Just Good Friends 

Drawing back the curtains 

Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon 

Here's that special silence 

Just before you walk out of the hotel room 

Each time we're so close I assume 

That we'll never be again 

Oh, how long must we pretend? 

A casual affair 

Was all that you could spare 

From your emotional change 

A calendar of greetings 

Strangers on the street 

The best we've ever arranged 

Photos 

Now I just can't stand all the pain 

All the constant break and mend 

Oh, how long can we pretend 

That we're just good friends? 

I gave you my devotion 

Hiding nothing up my sleeve 

If I walked clean out of your life 

Would you even notice me? 

So much tangled up emotion 

Should I stay or should I go? 

If I walked clean out of your life 

How long would it take you to know? 

Are we such good friends? 

And how sordid this has become 

As the means approach the end 

And how long can we pretend? 

I gave my devotion 

Hiding nothing up my sleeve 

If I walked clean out of your life 

Would you even notice me? 

So much tangled up emotion 

Should I stay or should I go? 

If I walked clean out of your life 

How long would it take you to know? 

If I walked clean out of your life 

How long would it take you to know? 

Are we still good friends? 

Untitled 

Out on the street again 

Playing with the rain 

And a friend is walking away 

Life in a strange hotel 

And an endless hell 

Thinking of things I wanted to say 

We over-played the game 

And we're playing with pain 

And the black inside is turning white with the rain 

And the smiles are down 

And the feelings are fine 

It's hard to make the sun shine 

Its such a shame 

When I'm out in the rain 

All the curtains are closed 

Its a sad scene I know 

I try not to care 

That I'm going nowhere 

See it slide down the drain 

Washed away with the rain 

I'm walking in the night 

And I feel like a tiger loose 

In a room full of fools 

And its hurting inside 

This feeling of pride 

Looking for somewhere to run and hide 

Life's on a merry-go-'round 

Its the same old sad sound 

And its happened again as it happened before 

And the smiles are down and the feelings are fine 

It's hard to make the sun shine 

Its such a shame 

When I'm out in the rain 

All the curtains are closed 

Its a sad scene I know 

I try not to care 

That I'm going nowhere 

See it slide down the drain 

Washed away with the rain 

Only the lonely need to be lonely 

Learn to be lonely, try to be lonely 

Somebody told me only the lonely 

Only the lonely need to be lonely 

Love to be lonely, try to be lonely 

Somebody told me only the lonely 

I'm such a lonely boy 

Almost Diamonds 

You kissed my grateful skin 

And left a chain of bites and bruises 

I'm sorry when you grin 

Almost diamonds for the losers 

I'll swim inside your tears 

And wander through your rooms of silence 

The motive crystal clear 

Your tongue is love 

And your heart is violence 

Almost Diamonds 

Scratched perfection 

Almost diamonds 

Tears in glycerine 

I spied you kissing her 

You faked your love 

My broken brother 

Everybody burn 

Secrets spill and smiles are smothered 

You have to roll the dice 

Pain is two 

And fire is sixes 

Vengeance feels nice 

I know the shine 

Behind your tricks is 

Almost diamonds 

Scratched perfection 

Almost diamonds 

Tears in glycerine 

Who would have thought 

It would end like this 

You gave a stranger 

A dangerous kiss 

Now your pretty eyes 

Say these precious lies 

We're just beautiful imitations 

They were 

Almost diamonds 

Scratched perfection 

Almost diamonds 

Tears in glycerine 

Catch our teardrops 

As they fall 

You know we nearly 

Had it all 

Fallen tears of glycerine 

Gone is all of what we dream 

Almost diamonds 

Scratched perfection 

Dark reflections 

Love won't find us 

Only in dreams 

Barriers 

Barriers 

Searching through the memory books 

Of photographs your lovers took 

Why play the game of place the pain 

When you end up feeling just the same 

Anyway... 

Sleep comes so slowly now 

So hard to keep the eyelids down 

And you're hoping soon to drown the sound 

Of a voice you know that whispers in 

Your mind... 

Oh, it was a sad, sad day 

The day you turned away 

And there was nothing in your eye 

You had told me once you found it impossible 

To cry... 

I know you've been there and back 

I've been there too 

But it was never really deep in you 

To do those things you had to do... 

And in your sleepy bedroom eyes 

I saw the signs 

And I lay awake all night 

In the cold 

Until the light burned my side 

And there was nothing 

There was nothing anymore... 

And there was nothing 

Not a feeling 

As you glanced back from the door... 

Move away to find another place 

That illustrates your point of view 

Surrounded by the little things 

That re-assure 

That reflect you... 

Ooooo and there was nothing 

And there was nothing in my heart 

And there was nothing in my head 

The light in your eyes is changing all the time 

And I still have your smile 

Burned into my mind...
