    Haunted By You
    I cross the road
    Just to hide
    And to avoid the times
    When you stood
    At my side
    Still battered by the tide
    A wreck exposed
    At my door
    My eyes they cannot lie
    So get up from my floor
    For you, you've had your time
    Your chance has gone
    You're not so strong
    Your words they cannot harm me now

    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

    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

    I've tried to ask, but
    While stooping down
    Your mouth began to gasp
    "Oh, look at that,
    I think I'd better pass"
    So I'm left wanting more

    Given time and a cheap dark room
    And I will show you
    All the love and wonder
    You could buy

    This town lies calm
    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

    Your love, it lies
    Those hands deny the hatred in your eyes
    So turn that down
    And give me a reply
    But I'm still left wanting more

    All great loves of this world
    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

    Six months inside
    Wandsworth's finest landmark
    My patience has died
    First guilt, now hate's best son

    Every M.P.
    And all their strong kind words
    "He can't be guilty"
    But you and I both know

    Truth, rest your head
    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

    Your shoulders are strong
    So lengthen your stride
    When you're alone
    There is light outside

    I don't recall the time we spent
    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

    You have to do it on your own
    I can't help you any more
    You must learn to live alone
    Then all this is yours

    When you dream
    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"

    It's hard to be left-handed
    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

    Evil
    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?"

    My kith and kin
    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?"

    I was having the time of my life
    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

    I know what can happen
    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

    You found the right cliff top
    For saying goodbye
    As life swung it's elbow
    And spat in your eye
    I've seen this all before
    And more

    So onwards to the city
    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

    It's easy when you're not here
    I just say the right words when you're not here
    But me, I saw you go home alone

    But still it's you
    I will defend
    Until times very end

    I'm at my lowest ebb
    So please don't take that tone
    This doesn't feel like home
    You still can't find the phone

    My air is getting thin
    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

    Still you can have it all, there's a hole in the wall
    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

    And sleep well tonight
    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

    You can have it all, there's a hole in the wall
    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

    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

    We'll Find Our Own Way
    Your home may be cold
    And your heart is gone
    To the wind and the rain
    But your pain will die
    So tell me when you're sad
    For my heart is strong
    I've had enough of life's
    Cruel twisted daze
    So you and I
    We'll find our own way
    Your eyes may feel old
    But I see them shine
    With the sun and the stars
    In my heart they're mine
    So tell me when you're sad
    For my heart is strong
    We've had enough of life's
    Cruel twisted daze
    But you and I
    We'll find our own way
