    I really don't know what I'm doing here
    I really think I should've gone to bed tonight but...
    "Just one drink
    And there're some people to meet you
    I think that you'll like them
    I have to say we do
    And i promise in less than than an hour we will honestly go...
    Now why don't I just get you another
    While you just say hello... "

    Yeah just say hello...

    So I'm clutching it tight
    Another glass in my hand
    And my mouth and the smiles
    Moving up as I stand up
    Too close and too wide
    And the smiles are too bright
    And I breathe in too deep
    And my head's getting light
    But the air is getting heavier and it's closer
    And I'm starting to sway
    And the hands all on my shoulders don't have names
    And they won't go away
    So here I go
    Here I go again...

    Falling into strangers
    And it's only just eleven
    And I'm staring like a child
    Until someone slips me heaven
    And I take it on my knees
    Just like a thousand times before
    And I get transfixed
    That fixed
    And I'm just looking at the floor
    Just looking at the floor
    Yeah i look at the floor...

    And I'm starting to laugh
    Like an animal in pain
    And I've got blood on my hands
    And I've got hands in my brain
    And the first short retch
    Leaves me gasping for more
    And I stagger over screaming
    On my way to the floor
    And I'm back on my back
    With the lights and the lies in my eyes
    And the colour and the music's too loud
    And my head's all the wrong size
    So here I go
    Here I go again...

    Yeah I laugh and I jump
    And I sing and I laugh
    And I dance and I laugh
    And I laugh and I laugh
    And I can't seem to think
    Where this is
    Who I am
    Why I'm keeping this going
    Keep pouring it out
    Keep pouring it down
    Keeping it going
    Keep pouring it down
    And the way the rain comes down hard...
    That's the way I feel inside...

    I can't take it anymore
    This it I've become
    This is it like I get
    When my life's going numb
    I just keep moving my mouth
    I just keep moving my feet
    I say I'm loving you to death
    Like I'm losing my breath
    And all the smiles that I wear
    And all the games that I play
    And all the drinks that I mix
    And i drink until I'm sick
    And all the faces I make
    And all the shapes that I throw
    And alll the people I meet
    And all the words that I know
    Makes me sick to the heart
    Oh I feel so tired...

    And the way the rain comes down hard...
    That's how I feel inside...




    High


    When I see you sky as a kite
    As high as I might
    I can't get that high
    The how you move
    The way you burst the clouds
    It makes me want to try

    When I see you sticky as lips
    As licky as trips
    I can't lick that far
    But when you pout
    The way you shout out loud
    It makes me want to start
    And when I see you happy as a girl
    That swims in a world of magic show
    It makes me bite my fingers through
    To think I could've let you go

    And when I see you
    Take the same sweet steps
    You used to take
    I say I'll keep on holding you
    My arms so tight
    I'll never let you slip away

    And when I see you kitten as a cat
    Yeah as smitten as that
    I can't get that small
    The way you fur
    The how you purr
    It makes me want to paw you all
    And when I see you happy as a girl
    That lives in a world of make-believe
    It makes me pull my hair all out
    To think I could've let you leave

    And when I see you
    Take the same sweet steps
    You used to take
    I know I'll keep on holding you
    In arms so tight
    They'll never let you go




    Apart


    He waits for her to understand
    But she won't understand at all
    She waits all night for him to call
    But he won't call anymore
    He waits to hear her say
    "Forgive"
    But she justs drops her pearl-black eyes
    And prays to hear him say
    "I love you"
    But he tells no more lies

    He waits for her to sympathize
    But she won't sympathize at all
    She waits all night to feel his kiss
    But always wakes alone
    He waits to hear her say
    "Forget"
    But she just hangs her head in pain
    And prays to hear him say
    "No more
    I'll never leave again"

    How did we get this far apart?
    We used to be so close together
    How did we get this far apart?
    I thought this love would last for ever

    He waits for her to understand
    But she won't understand at all
    She waits all night for him to call
    But he won't call
    He waits to hear her say
    "Forgive"
    But she just drops her pearl black eyes
    And prays to hear him say
    "I love you"
    But he tells no more lies

    How did we get this far apart?
    We used to be so close together
    How did we get this far apart?
    I thought this love would last for ever



    From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea


    Every time we do this
    I fall for her
    Wave after wave after wave
    It's all for her
    "I know this can't be wrong" I say
    (And I'll lie to keep her happy)
    "As long as I know that you know
    That today I belong right here with you"

    Right here with you...

    And so we watch the sun come up
    From the edge of the deep green sea
    And she listens like her head's on fire
    Like she wants to believe in me
    So I try
    "Put your hands in the sky
    Surrender
    Remember
    We'll be here forever
    And we'll never say goodbye... "

    I've never been so
    Colourfully-see-through-head before
    I've never been so
    Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
    And all I want is to keep it like this
    You and me alone
    A secret kiss
    And don't go home
    Don't go away
    Don't let this end
    Please stay...
    Not just for today...

    "Never never never never never let me go" she says
    "Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days"
    But suddenly she slows
    And looks down at my breaking face
    "Why do you cry?
    What did I say?"
    "But it's just rain" I smile
    Brushing my tears away...

    I wish I could just stop
    I know another moment will break my heart
    Too many tears
    Too many times
    Too many years I've cried over you

    How much more can we use it up?
    Drink it dry?
    Take this drug?
    Looking for something forever gone
    But something we will always want...

    "Why why why are you letting me go" she says
    "I feel you pulling back
    I feel you changing shape"
    And just as I'm breaking free
    She hangs herself in front of me
    Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
    And hands in the sky
    Surrenders it all...

    I wish I could just stop
    I know another moment will break my heart
    Too many tears
    Too many times
    Too many years I've cried for you
    It's always the same
    Wake up in the rain
    Head in pain
    Hung in shame
    A different name
    Same old game
    Love in vain
    And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
    Away from home again...



    Wendy Time


    "You look like you could do with a friend" she said
    "You look like you could use a hand
    Someone to make you smile" she said
    "Someone who can understand
    Share your trouble
    Comfort you
    Hold you close
    And I can do all of these...
    I think you need me here with you"

    "You look like you could do with a sister" she said
    "You look like you need a girl to call your own... like...
    Fabulous! Fabulous!
    Call me Fabulous!"
    And rubbing her hands so slow
    "You stare at me all strange" she said
    "Are you hungry for more?"
    "I've had enough" I said
    "Please leave me alone
    Please go"

    It doesn't touch me at all
    It doesn't touch me at all

    "You know that you could do with a friend" she said
    "You know that you could use a word
    Like feel or follow or fuck" she said
    And laughing away as she turned
    "You're everything but no-one
    Like the last man on earth"
    "And when I die" I said
    I'll leave you it all"
    Door closes...
    Leaves me cold

    It doesn't touch me at all
    It doesn't touch me at all

    "You really do need a sister" she said
    "You really do need a girl to call your own... like...
    Wonderful! Wonderful!
    Call me Wonderful!"
    And running her hands so slow
    "You stare at me all strange" she said
    "Are you hungry for more?"
    "I've had enough" I said
    "Please leave me alone
    Please go...
    Please go"

    And kiss it all goodbye!




    Friday I'm In Love


    I don't care if Monday's blue
    Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
    Thursday I don't care about you
    It's Friday I'm in love

    Monday you can fall apart
    Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
    Thursday doesn't even start
    It's Friday I'm in love

    Saturday wait
    And Sunday always comes too late
    But Friday never hesitate...

    I don't care if Mondays black
    Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
    Thursday never looking back
    It's Friday I'm in love

    Monday you can hold your head
    Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
    Or Thursday watch the walls instead
    It's Friday I'm in love

    Saturday wait
    And Sunday always comes too late
    But Friday never hesitate...

    Dressed up to the eyes
    It's a wonderful surprise
    To see your shoes and your spirits rise
    Throwing out your frown
    And just smiling at the sound
    And as sleek as a shriek
    Spinning round and round
    Always take a big bite
    It's such a gorgeous sight
    To see you eat in the middle of the night
    You can never get enough
    Enough of this stuff
    It's Friday
    I'm in love




    Trust


    There is no-one left in the world
    That I can hold onto
    There is really no-one left at all
    There is only you
    And if you leave me now
    You leave all that we were
    Undone
    There is really no-one left
    You are the only one

    And still the hardest part for you
    To put your trust in me
    I love you more than I can say
    Why won't you just believe?




    A Letter To Elise


    Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
    I just can't stay here every yesterday
    Like keep on acting out the same
    The way we act out
    Every way to smile
    Forget
    And make-believe we never needed
    Any more than this
    Any more than this

    Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
    I know I'll never really get inside of you
    To make your eyes catch fire
    The way they should
    The way the blue could pull me in
    If they only would
    If they only would
    At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
    That hides away
    From me and you
    There're worlds to part
    With aching looks and breaking hearts
    And all the prayers your hands can make
    Oh I just take as much as you can throw
    And then throw it all away
    Oh I throw it all away
    Like throwing faces at the sky
    Like throwing arms round
    Yesterday
    I stood and stared
    Wide-eyed in front of you
    And the face I saw looked back
    The way I wanted to
    But I just can't hold my tears away
    The way you do

    Elise believe I never wanted this
    I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
    I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
    But I let the dream go
    And the promises broke
    And the make-believe ran out...

    So Elise
    It doesn't matter what you say
    I just can't stay here every yesterday
    Like keep on acting out the same
    The way we act out
    Every way to smile
    Forget
    And make-believe we never needed
    Any more than this
    Any more than this

    And every time I try to pick it up
    Like falling sand
    As fast as I pick it up
    It runs away through my clutching hands
    But there's nothing else I can really do
    There's nothing else I can really do
    There's nothing else
    I can really do
    At all...




    Cut


    If only you'd never speak to me
    The way that you do
    If only you'd never speak like that
    It's like listening to
    A breaking heart
    A falling sky
    Fire go out and friendship die
    I wish you felt the way that I still do
    The way that I still do

    If only you'd never look at me
    The way that you do
    If only you'd never look like that
    When I look at you
    I see face like stone
    Eyes of ice
    Mouth so sweetly telling lies
    I wish you felt the way that I still do
    The way that I still do
    But you don't
    You don't feel anymore
    You don't care anymore
    It's all gone

    If only you'd never pull from me
    The way that you do
    If only you'd never pull like that
    When I'm with you
    I feel hopeless hands helplessly
    Pulling you back close to me
    I wish you felt the way that I still do
    The way that I still do

    If only you'd ever speak to me
    The way you once did
    Look at me the way you once did
    Pull to me the way you once did
    But you don't
    You don't feel anymore
    You don't care anymore
    It's all gone
    It's all gone




    To Wish Impossible Things


    Remember how it used to be
    When the sun would fill the sky
    Remember how we used to feel
    Those days would never end
    Those days would never end

    Remember how it used to be
    When the stars would fill the sky
    Remember how we used to dream
    Those nights would never end
    Those nights would never end

    It was the sweetness of your skin
    It was the hope of all we might have been
    That filled me with the hope to wish
    Impossible things
    To wish impossible things

    But now the sun shines cold
    And all the sky is grey
    The stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
    And all I wish
    Is gone away
    All I wish
    Is gone away

    All I wish
    Is gone away




    End


    I think I've reached that point
    Where giving up and going on
    Are both the same dead end to me
    Are both the same old song

    I think I've reached that point
    Where every wish has come true
    And tired disguised oblivion
    Is everything I do

    Please stop loving me
    Please stop loving me
    I am none of these things

    I think I've reached that point
    Where all the things you have to say
    And hopes for something more from me
    Are just games to pass the time away

    Please stop loving me
    Please stop loving me
    I am none of these things

    I think I've reached that point
    Where every word that you write
    Of every blood dark sea
    And every soul black night
    And every dream you dream me in
    And every perfect free from sin
    And burning eyes
    And hearts on fire
    Are just the same old song

    Please stop loving me
    Please stop loving me
    I am none of these things
    I am none of these things

    I am none of these things
