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
I can't take it
I need you
The smallest gentle gesture
You said that I
So when disaster struck me
You see I cannot stand alone
You said that I
But still shadows they come
I'll wait for the day
Can you tell me
I'm drunk for your love
We could be kings
Believe me
We could be kings
Will you hold me like a child
When I'm hungry and I'm cold
When I'm ailing and I'm tired
Will you understand my cries
If you ask me to
I really do want to show you I love you
The world we now stand astride
If you ask me to
I really do want to show you I love you
Still crying for love
I know that face
The stars have been hidden
I know that face
If I knew where to go
But still crying for love
So sorry to be trouble
Don't turn the light off and leave me
I am the voice of your father
Wherever you might stand
I am the voice of your father
The nights seem longer
I know I think
The nights seem longer
Now I know
Don't desert me now
With me the home that you never had
Everything around me
That the home that you never had
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
Speak To Me Someone
When darkness folds
Across this old sky
Yes, I'll open up
For you that night
Am I safe in your grasp?
Can I be your source
Of strength tonight?
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
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
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
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
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
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 catch me when I fall
Can you hear me when I call
Can you love me?
Will you feed me from your palm
And shelter me from harm
Can you love me?
And my years are running out
Can you take away all doubt
Can you love me?
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
I'll say to you I do
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
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
I'll say to you I do
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?
You're forced to wear long sleeves for the summer
"Will I ever be a lover
Crying out loud?"
It says being alive can sometimes hurt
I'd take your place
And run away from it all
A breath grasping hand into the ether
I beg you take me with her
The stars have been hidden
Just being alive can sometimes hurt
I'd take your place
And speed away from it all
Are there things I must buy?
List the clubs I should know
Tell the world I'm alive
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
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
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
The closed door that scares you
Always there
I am bad dreams made real
I won't rest until
Time has swallowed you
You'll fall into my hands
You're not a clever man
You don't stand a chance
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
Tell me what I've done
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
Tell me what I've done
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
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
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
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
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
