Everybody's Beautiful

I laid awake
Hot August night and rain
Too tired to stay
Too tired to fight again
And the bad times
Since the night you went away
Are just past times
Since I met her today
Now everybody in the world is fucking beautiful
Now everybody in the world is fucking beautiful
The hours dragged by
Inside of these nights alone
Tried closing my eyes
And wished for a heart of stone
And the bad times
Since the day you went away
Are just past times
Since I met her today
Now everybody in the world is fucking beautiful
Now everybody in the world is fucking beautiful
Now everybody in the world is fucking beautiful
Now everybody in the world is fucking beautiful
Beautiful beautiful but they are beautiful

Crazy, you know you always drive me crazy
You never think that things will go our way
Come what may
Honey, I never cared about the money
I always figured it would come to me
Wait and see
Doo doo doo, dit dit doo
Doo doo doo, dit dit doo
Baby, why do always tell me maybe
I'm always waiting for the big Ok
Doesn't matter anyway
I'm dying, to believe that you're not lying
In a silly game of make-believe
You got something up your sleeve
I never think about it
Doo doo doo, dit dit doo
I never think about it
Doo doo doo, dit dit doo
I never think about it
Doo doo doo, dit dit doo
I never think about it
Doo doo doo, dit dit doo
Got no time for idle speculation
I know how the story goes
Ain't got time to waste on reflection
Remembering the highs
Dwelling on the lows
Crazy, I know I always drove you crazy
You found you hadn't hit the Motherlode
So you'd better hit the road
I never think about it
Doo doo doo, dit dit doo
I never think about it
Doo doo doo, dit dit doo
I never think about it
Doo doo doo, dit dit doo
I never think about it
Doo doo doo, dit dit doo
I never think about it

Her Ghost
03:07

The fading light
Unquiet end to restless days
Don't say goodnight
Ok Ok Ok
Gave up the fight
A million miles got in the way
That's all right
Ok Ok Ok
I never thought that it would matter anyway
Left with a growing sense of dread
I never thought that I could ever feel this way
The ghost has got inside my head
Echoing the last thing she said
I catch my breath and
Realize I love her ways
Won't say goodbye
Ok Ok Ok
The falling stars
Are all we have to light the way
I'll be alright
Ok Ok Ok
I never knew that I would feel this way again
A hope from what I thought was dead
I never thought that she could take my breath away
Her ghost has got inside my head
Echoing all the things we said

Fade To Black

Her heart in my heart
Is my heart mine
My heart in her heart
Is my heart mine
Lift off the ground
Take to the sky
Her soul in my soul
Is my soul mine
My soul in her soul
Is my soul mine
Drift through the clouds
Floating in the air
Pass overhead
Never landing there
Her life in my life
Is my life mine
My life in her life
Is my life mine

Tell Me Please
03:18

What will we talk about tomorrow
Where will we go will we still laugh
I took all the hope that I could borrow
Sorry I could only pay back half
What does the past look like in your mind
Did you think that we'd be here today
Everything was lit by bright potential
Do you remember where we went astray
Can you tell me what it is you're thinking
Can you tell me what we're supposed to do
I can't keep anything I've been given
Saddest thing of all was losing you

After The Cloudburst

Look at the mess we made of things
Look at the mess we're making
Letter the pressure of everything invade our senses
What do you say we try again
What do you say we go dancing
Out through this night of Northern Stars
And our defences
I know I should not complain
Look at all the things that grow after the spring rain
Look at our breath steam in the night
The stars cut into our bloodstream
Fall to our knees sink through the snow
Return to zero
What do say we float away
Up to the Seven Sisters
Fall through the sky and disappear
Let all your fear go
I know I should not complain
Look at all the things that grow after the spring rain
I know I should not complain
Look at all the things that grow after the spring rain
I know I should not complain
Look at all the things that grow after the spring rain
I know I should not complain
Look at all the things that grow after the spring rain

Not Even One
03:23

Crooked equations
And broken math
I can't find the equal signs
With bigger halves
You never start at the beginning
Left-handed smudging all the past
Not even one
Not even half of this
Not even one
Pleasant distraction
When nothing else to do
You only see me
When he won't see you
The voices crack
The sentence shatters
And all that's left is unkind truth
Not even one
Not even half of this
Not even one
I'm not even half of us
Not even one
I'm not even half of this

I never knew what the world had waiting for me then
I never knew who to turn to or who was my friend
I was on that lonesome road
I always did what I was told
Trying to turn lead into gold in vain
I always felt that my life was waiting to begin
I always felt that desire was something of a sin
I was on the losing side
Never meant to take that ride
Push it all back deep inside again
Babalay, Babalay
I was on the losing side
Never meant to take that ride
Push it all back deep inside again
Babalay, Babalay
And now I see that no-one can save us from ourselves
And we're the ones who make our lives a living hell
I was on the losing side
Never meant to take that ride
Push it all back deep inside again
Babalay, Babalay

There's no use, you say you can take it.
What next will you go begging in the street?
I don't know, how you can keep going
when the ground you're standing on is trembling 'neath your feet.
I pretend, because I can't take it?
Who said the party's coming to an end.
You noticed, you're worried
you say you can't help it.
Now is a good time to say good-bye to your friend.
But after everything you claim (after everything you claim)
you find the world's about the same as ever.
After everything's renamed (after everything's renamed)
you find the problem's just the same as last time.
Can't get away?
I've been there.
Can't get away?
Is there anywhere else but here?
Can there be anywhere else but here?
Too bad. I know you don't like it:
nobody made you hero of the day.
So sad. You had to get past it:
who wanted to be in your fan club anyway?
I pretend, because I can't take it?
Who said the party's coming to an end.
You noticed, you're worried
you say you can't help it.
Optimist is lending to the pessimist again.
But after everything you claim (after everything you claim)
you find the world's about the same as ever.
After everything's renamed (after everything's renamed)
you find the problem's just the same as last time.
Can't get away?
I've been there.
Can't get away?
Is there anywhere else but here?
Can there be anywhere else but here?
There's no use, you say you can take it.
What next will you go begging in the street?
I don't know, how you can keep going
when the ground you're standing on is trembling 'neath your feet.
Can't get away?
I've been there.
Can't get away?
Is there anywhere else but here?
Can there be anywhere else but here?
Can there be anywhere else, anywhere else
anywhere else, anywhere else, anywhere else, anywhere else
Can there be anywhere else but here?
Can there be anywhere else but here?

I Got There Anyway
03:48

I really couldn't take it anymore
I knew I had to get away
I didn't knew what I was heading for
But I got there anyway
I never knew what all the fuss was about
It's just like her to never say
It took me this long just to figure it out
But I got there anyway
I didn't know what I was aiming for
I didn't figure I would stay
Danger lurking behind every door
But I got there anyway
Got there anyway
Got there anyway
Figure it out
I really thought I would lose my mind
A new disaster everyday
I hit the road without a map or sign
But I got there anyway
Got there anyway
Yah yah WallyDog

Sleepy Backwoods Town
04:18

Draw a straight line from today
Through the points along the way
In the middle you will find
Constant riddle weighs on your mind
And the sun still beats down
On that sleepy backwood town
As your heart slowly breaks
And the breath escapes your lungs
And the words can't find your tongue
As you watch your neighbour's children play and play
Mother Mary has come at last
Mother may I escape my past
You were certain you had the part
You drew the curtain on that one true heart
And you can't afford the loan
Of your big expensive home
Eyes returning to the silent phone
And the breath escapes your lungs
And the words can't find your tongue
As you're breaking there alone
Oh so alone
And the sun still beats down
On that sleepy backwood town
As your heart slowly breaks
And the breath escapes your lungs
And the words can't find your tongue
As you watch your neighbour's children play and play
The children play
The children play

I was alone in a great big city
So far from home in the great big city
She didn't know my name
But I loved her just the same
And no-one was to blame
She smiled and filled my eyes
then I realized where my future lies
Falling in love in the great big city
I fell in love in the great big city
Smell the summer in my room
The sound of distant tunes
In the cool night take a drive
Neon lights the sky
Souls have come alive
I was in love with the great big city
I fell in love with the great big city
I was in love with the great big city
I fell in love with the great big city
