It was cruel of you to stand at my door and take my hand. Like a drowning man, I clung to my defenses. And ten years is a time but your looks love, it's a crime.
In my nightmare everything's wrong. I'm waiting for love, but you come along. You smile, you wave, you greet me, ciao. But you seem too happy to see me somehow.
I stole your style, hope you don't mind. I must try to be all I can be. It suits me more than it ever suited you. Hope you like the new me. . And I stole your laugh so bright and breezy.
Oh, haul me up, please help me I'm drowning. Haul me up to where I can breathe. Haul me up where the air is sweeter. Stretch out a hand, a hand, brother please.
Here comes Geordie, back in town again. Here comes Geordie, strutting down the lane. Girls all want to toy with his affection. The boys all say he loves his own reflection.
Hard on me, hard on me. Why do you grind me small?. Hard on me, hard on me. At every fence I fall. . I bite my rage. I stop my breath. I shake my cage.
Did you call my name? Did you call my name in the night?. In the whispers and sighs, in the whispers and sighs of the night. Ah ghosts in the wind, eh ghosts in the wind.
For whose sake. For whose sake. Did I deliver. Sighs of love and vows forever?. . For whose sake. For whose sake. Did I learn real from true?. . Fast times.
For whose sake. For whose sake. Did I deliver. Sighs of love and vows forever?. . For whose sake. For whose sake. Did I learn real from true?. . Fast times.
Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead. Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head. Another day that could have been me there instead. Nobody loves me here.
Don't go walking down Chapel Street. Down Chapel Street they'll jump you. Cut your throat as soon as give you the eye. Those wholesome girls down Chapel Street.
Love that holds its breath for fear. Of scaring love away. I rush my lines. I care too deeply. O will she keep me. For idle games. . I stare into. I stare into.
Broken glass, a broken chair. A lamp hangs by a thread. Scattered pages, spattered walls. Mayhem on the bed. . Peace is gone and love is gone. And darkness wins the day.
This time you hurt me. You really did it this time you did. Did you count your fingers. After shaking my hand, God forbid. . Riff raff crawling from the slums.
Here I am in your room going through your stuff. Said you'd be gone five minutes, that's time enough. Here in your drawer there's lacy things. Old credit cards and beads and bangles and rings.
Well there's a house in an alley. In the squats and low-rise. Of a town with no future. But that's where my future lies. . It's a secret, but no secret.
I started to cry, they put gin in my cup. I started to crawl, and they swaddled me up. I got up and run, they said, "Easy, son. Play up, play the game".
Out there in the desert air. Penguin meets the polar bear. Hey ho, pilgrim. Light the precious flame. . Burning man with flames for eyes. Burning man lights up the skies.
Well, she spins me round. And she turns me down. And I don't know why. And I don't know why. Did she just refuse me?. Did she just accuse me?. And I don't know why.
One thing always leads to another. In life and love they say.. You got too close and now. That boy's gonna make you rue the day.. You grab his ankles when he flies,.
