    New Amusements
    You are here to serve me
    Shut up
    Sit down
    Begin, observe me
    I see things when I'm alone

    So choose your favourite weapon
    From this list I have assembled
    Do it fast
    Then take me slow

    A whole lifetime led
    With every minute spent
    Trying to feel things
    No one has ever felt

    I can bring you solace
    On the bureau in my office
    I dream of you alone

    So choose your favourite weapon
    From this list I have assembled
    Do me fast
    Then take it slow

    Fighting Fit
    I need you
    I'm waiting and I'm alone
    I wanted to be so bold
    But good words are never easy
    I am still young
    My blood flowing like a flood
    Come and take every single bone
    I will give as good as I get

    I can't take it
    To much time's been wasted
    So come and get my plateful
    I am fighting fit and able
    I can't take it
    When you slide and twist it hurts me
    So settle down and let me
    I've tasted life
    I'm ready

    I need you
    Your shoulders act as my strength
    Your skin is my only friend
    I seek cover in all your glories
    I am tarnished
    I know I have many flaws
    But our love it will shatter all
    Take me on and we will conquer

    Where Are They Now?
    You said that I
    Should look to the future
    I've seen and I'll stay here
    I don't know why
    I am tied to the winter
    Can't find the time to live

    The smallest gentle gesture
    Keeps the enemy at bay
    All I needed was a word
    Where are they now?
    The sky seems a little lower
    But for that a normal day
    Do I ask too much
    Where are they now?

    You said that I
    Take more than I offer
    Yes, this is how I spend my time
    You'll come undone
    If you don't make the effort
    Seek and ye shall find

    So when disaster struck me
    No heart left to offend
    I only wanted friends
    Where are they now?
    Will you be there forever
    And say I'll never be without?
    Don't blame me for my doubt

    You see I cannot stand alone
    I'm incapable of breathing
    Incapable of love
    In my world
    Make it safe
    Take me home
    I'm incapable of breathing
    Incapable of love

    You said that I
    Should stop trying to call you
    You've had it up to here
    I know your sort
    But I just can't ignore you
    I'm lost in the fog

    (back to top)


    Speak To Me Someone
    When darkness folds
    Across this old sky
    Yes, I'll open up
    For you that night

    But still shadows they come
    Am I safe in your grasp?
    Can I be your source
    Of strength tonight?

    I'll wait for the day
    When you creep through the window and hold me
    Smash into my life now and hold me
    Don't set me free
    I've waited too long, yes I'm dying
    Smash into me someone and hold me
    Speed into this shell now and hold me
    Hold me
    Hold me

    Can you tell me
    Will I ever dream again?
    In your arms
    I now know that I'm home again
    I'm home again
    I'm home again
    I'm home again

    I'm drunk for your love
    Speed into my life
    Speak to me now
    Just speak to me someone
    For I know your taste
    And I can supply

    We Could Be Kings
    Believe me
    I'm not scared of anything
    But being you could break me
    Drain my heart and wrench my spirit
    What do I do
    That's so enchanting you can't bear to leave me
    I deserve hell
    So take me do your worst and do it proper
    The shell must break so

    We could be kings
    This planet is ours
    We've love on our side
    The keys to my car
    We'll storm through the city
    Let's drive
    Hold tight

    Believe me
    It's time to tell my friends I love them
    They deserve more
    Than hasty delivered words of kindness
    I'm sure you know that

    We could be kings
    This planet is ours
    With luck on our side
    The keys to my car
    We'll storm through the city
    Let's drive
    Did I hear you cry

    Will you hold me like a child
    Will you catch me when I fall
    Can you hear me when I call
    Can you love me?

    When I'm hungry and I'm cold
    Will you feed me from your palm
    And shelter me from harm
    Can you love me?

    When I'm ailing and I'm tired
    And my years are running out
    Can you take away all doubt
    Can you love me?

    Will you understand my cries
    Protect me when I lie?
    I need all your time
    For I am lonely

    Why I Was Born
    Love is no more than this
    And all from your tatty kiss
    Never alive until twenty five
    You can have all I know
    Never alive until twenty five

    If you ask me to
    I'll say to you I do

    I really do want to show you I love you
    I now know why I was born
    My vision is clear
    You've killed all my fear
    Don't let me go
    Don't let me go

    The world we now stand astride
    Just watch and we'll halt the tides
    Never alive until late twenty five
    And all in a world which hates
    Anything delicate
    Never alive until twenty five

    If you ask me to
    I'll say to you I do

    I really do want to show you I love you
    I now know why I was born
    My vision is clear
    But there's something in here
    Screaming don't let me go
    Don't let me go

    Long Sleeves For The Summer
    Does your heart sag?
    Fed up with the tag which you've been given
    The cold won't make you shiver
    Does your heart sag?

    Still crying for love
    You're forced to wear long sleeves for the summer
    "Will I ever be a lover
    Crying out loud?"

    I know that face
    It says being alive can sometimes hurt
    I'd take your place
    And run away from it all

    The stars have been hidden
    A breath grasping hand into the ether
    I beg you take me with her
    The stars have been hidden

    I know that face
    Just being alive can sometimes hurt
    I'd take your place
    And speed away from it all

    If I knew where to go
    Are there things I must buy?
    List the clubs I should know
    Tell the world I'm alive

    But still crying for love
    Still forced to wear long sleeves for the summer
    "Will I ever be a lover
    Crying out loud?"

    Save Me, I'm Yours
    Don't turn the light off and leave me
    This bed feels cold and empty
    The ghosts will come and get me
    Won't you please stay here I'm scared

    So sorry to be trouble
    But this room is like a gaol
    In the arms of love all fail
    Won't you please stay here I'm scared
    I need you to save me I'm scared

    Don't turn the light off and leave me
    Without love I am empty
    You're the only one who'll have me
    So won't you please stay here I'm scared
    I need you to save me I'm so scared

    Voice Of The Father
    Take all you can because soon
    With hate my only tool
    I'll be after you
    And I don't like to lose

    I am the voice of your father
    The closed door that scares you
    Always there
    I am bad dreams made real
    I won't rest until
    Time has swallowed you

    Wherever you might stand
    You'll fall into my hands
    You're not a clever man
    You don't stand a chance

    I am the voice of your father
    The closed door that scares you
    Always there
    I am bad dreams made real
    I won't rest until
    Time devours you

    The Accidental
    My honour's in doubt
    It was accidental
    I swear to god
    It was the wrong angle
    The blade flashed by
    I had to grab it
    A lunging mass
    It was accidental

    The nights seem longer
    Tell me what I've done

    I know I think
    That he deserved it
    We all like a drink
    But he deserved it
    The blade flashed by
    I barely saw it
    My dreams are scarred
    Your face my forfeit

    The nights seem longer
    Tell me what I've done

    Now I know
    That the earth from the sky to the ground
    Is alive with an aching for love
    Look at me
    I have tried but good luck is a sound
    I've not heard in my life for a while

    Don't desert me now
    It was accidental
    The blade flashed by
    There was nothing better
    My mind was numb
    My guts they led me
    This normal night
    This one dead body

    I Love You, What Are You?
    I can see everything around me
    My eyes are as good as the day I was born
    And I see you're trying to stare a straight path
    I love you, what are you?
    Come clean and laugh

    With me the home that you never had
    Could be here in my arms
    You must see I will not move
    The love that you never had
    Firm and strong in my hands
    Your love for love is no alibi
    Life goes on and so must you

    Everything around me
    Bright and clear as the day I was born
    And I see you're trying to keep your nose clean
    I love you, what are you?
    In dreams I've seen

    That the home that you never had
    Could be here in my arms
    You must see I will not move
    Until the love that you never had
    Is firm and strong in my hands
    Your love for lies is no alibi
    Life goes on and so must you

    Sub Rosa
    A covert operation
    In the bedrooms of the world
    A lowly dedication
    To the lonely of the world
    In the middle of the night
    In the heart of every desperate night

    A hunger to feel welcome
    Out in the bedrooms of the world
    I see the implications
    The betrayal and the hurt
    But in the middle of the night
    In the heart of every desperate night
