But with all the things that I've said
I'm still haunted by you
In every town, every place
You're waiting
On my tongue lies disgrace
Still haunted by you
Yes you, you're in my way
I've tried to ask, but
Given time and a cheap dark room
This town lies calm
Your love, it lies
All great loves of this world
Six months inside
Every M.P.
Truth, rest your head
Your shoulders are strong
I don't recall the time we spent
You have to do it on your own
When you dream
It's hard to be left-handed
Evil
My kith and kin
I was having the time of my life
I know what can happen
You found the right cliff top
So onwards to the city
It's easy when you're not here
But still it's you
I'm at my lowest ebb
My air is getting thin
Still you can have it all, there's a hole in the wall
And sleep well tonight
You can have it all, there's a hole in the wall
Make me crazy with your arms
It's all gone hazy, It's all gone wrong
Olympian, framed by God
So bring me water to cool off
Formidable and not afraid
Of the next world, just delayed
How can you decline such grand designs?
I'm flattered that you thought
I make a good reward, but
How can you survive my blatant lies?
I'm flattered that you thought
So come taste my good reward
I wanted to be there with you
For I can only be normal with you
I'm taking your life for you
Your Love, It Lies
While chimneys seep
my room is dark
The wardrobe sees you sleep
There's nothing here
But rumbles from our streeet,
And I'm left wanting more
While stooping down
Your mouth began to gasp
"Oh, look at that,
I think I'd better pass"
So I'm left wanting more
And I will show you
All the love and wonder
You could buy
The low sun climbs
And if you give me time
I'll take you in my arms
And tend you like a vine
But I'm left wanting more
Those hands deny the hatred in your eyes
So turn that down
And give me a reply
But I'm still left wanting more
Are cast asunder, because
Here comes my thunder
Just for one night
No need to buy
Truth, Rest Your Head
I've been lazy
I've not waited for you
Nature's hasty
And Lord knows so am I
Wandsworth's finest landmark
My patience has died
First guilt, now hate's best son
And all their strong kind words
"He can't be guilty"
But you and I both know
There is more than a life at stake here
For me you died tonight
So don't involve me in your plans
When the chat shows beckon
For me you died tonight
A Car That Sped
You have to do it on your own
I can't aid you any more
You must learn to breath alone
Then all this is yours
So lengthen your stride
When you're alone
There is light outside
It's hidden in a car that sped
To its death and to its rest
So give up the thoughts that bring you dread
And hide them in the car
That sped me to my death
And to my rest
I can't help you any more
You must learn to live alone
Then all this is yours
I'll be guiding your thoughts
So find the world
And take what's yours
Left-Handed
I have one single success to my name
So take cover, I am coming out today
There is no turn of phrase, no easy way to say
"I'll find my feet
I'll choose my own name"
But smile you're not the only one
I know you've been left stranded
Bruised, kicked
Lost your mother's love
But take it from me
I will be here tomorrow
I've seen your face and I know just how you feel
You Victorian descendant
It's illegal, that my clan just aren't seen as people
On the Isle of Man
I'll serve my time
London, Can You Wait?
My kith and kin
I have sinned
I didn't hear the siren, or see him giving in
My kith and kin
I have sinned, again
He said
"London, can you wait
For all the things I have to say
London, can you wait?"
I have sinned
The alarm rang loud, the lights were on
And I didn't see a thing
My kith and kin
Death just walked in, again
He said
"London, can you wait
For all the things I have to say
How long can you wait?"
So why did you have to die?
I'm lost
Again
To The City
Onwards to the city
Where new money awaits
Far further from the clatter
Of your past life's mistakes
I've seen this all before
When you're honest and true
It's too late to change now
Your years flew too soon
I've seen this all before
And more
For saying goodbye
As life swung it's elbow
And spat in your eye
I've seen this all before
And more
Where new money awaits
Far further from the clatter
Of your past life's mistakes
Yes, I've seen this all before
And more
Still Can't Find The Phone
So freely, you curse my glance
This country's not seen insults so far advanced
But me, I saw you go alone
I just say the right words when you're not here
But me, I saw you go home alone
I will defend
Until times very end
So please don't take that tone
This doesn't feel like home
You still can't find the phone
I have good cause to moan
You still can't find the phone
And I'm left here on my own
Sleep Well Tonight
It's the end of the year
I have just settled here
It may not be much, but it's enough
Yet trouble has sprung from the plubs and the clubs
We'll see blood soon, when the night's through
Get some money, and we'll show them
This is our territory, this patch belongs to me
Why don't they understand, but I've got a plan
So take my hand
Tomorrow we'll fight, would you like it in town?
As the bass drums boom by
We'll leave this lay-by, this excuse for a town
Now that everybody knows all about me
I've been rumbled, I've been sold
Born with plenty but you're left empty
Get some dough out, and we'll show out
But still trouble comes from these pubs and these clubs
Why can't they understand, but I've got a plan
So take my hand
And sleep well tonight
Olympian
Give me something I can hold
With that something I will grow
