The Fine Line
04:28

|
If you want it to be so fine
Let me get there in my own time
Hang a message on the clothes line
And start again today
Never meant to treat you so unkind
Never meant to miss the warning signs
If you wanna walk the fine line
Just start again today
If you thought you saw the light
And it's chasing you tonight
And it's shining through your dreams
Just you follow what you feel
Close your eyes to make it real
Close your eyes and slip away
Say you wanna make the big time
Say you're living on a landmine
Gonna make it better this time
And start again today
Never felt it for the first time
Never wanted what I might find
Always walking on the fine line
To make a change today

Forever Understand

If men were made of silver
Ladies were made of gold
Miles away - I'm lost
While my tea goes cold
'Cause I can't make forever understand
No, I can't make forever understand
If men are made of silver
Ladies are made of gold
Been living with a pain
That's twentynine years old

Where did you go when time was paramount
And you picked yourself up off the floor?
So now you know the things I can't surmount
As I scrape myself down off the wall
Baby, don't tell me that it's all a game to you...
Get away now...
From yourself...

Good As Gold
03:05
|
|||
|
Please don't speak too soon
On this English afternoon
'Cause all the things you mean
Are few and far between
Help me make some sense
Out of this information, please
A girl as good as gold
And now you've got me on my knees
Calling you long distance
Will I ever make it through?
Stand up straight and suffer
Gotta lotta lies, it's true
On the day you nearly died
So numb I never cried
Thirteenth and not the first
But the waiting was the worst

Take Away
03:26
|
|||
|
If I may be so bold
As to ask you why
You locked them out in the cold
Left them there to die
Can't you tell I been fading away?
My love, my love
Adding up to only take away
My love
Can't you tell I been wasting away?
My love, my love
Giving up to only give away
My love
If I may be so bold
As to ask you why
Cut me out - bought and sold
Left me there to die

Broken By The Years
03:03

Think I saw your sister
Looks a little different, yeah
Think I mighta missed 'er
Accidentally on purpose, yeah
Musta been a long time
Since I mutsa felt it, now
Coulda been a bad sign
Knew you always felt it, now
But you, don't you cry no tears
Don't be sad just for me
Broken by the years
Don't be sad just for me
Thought you was a lover
So why we always fighting, now?
Never was another
So why we only writing, now?
Waste away the hours
Waste away the years, yeah
Far beyond my power
So far behind the others, yeah

Everybody loves a loser
Everyone here knows your face
He was born, but never asked, now
Only tried to save a trace
Just one more boy called trouble
Just one more countdown to...
One more boy called trouble
Break his heart - that's what you do
Took our baby steps together
Click-clacking down your street
In your stained, inherent sadness
Resigned to our defeat

She had her hair in 'lastic bands
The summer sun, it shined
She made shadows with her hands
Her smile wasn't mine
Said I got a song to sing
'Bout boys who'll give her everything
Look after that wedding ring
For boys who'll give her everything
She's got her life in plastic bags
The winter rain fell down
Dressed up in her jumble rags
On the poor side of her town

2am
02:29
|

|
What can cure me now?
Counting freckles might...
Lover, please allow
Some glitter in your night
Draw a line
'Tween us and them
No more hurt
At 2am
Rest your head on mine
Candy, you're my friend
Hear the church bells chime
Don't tell me the end
Now you're mine
I'm yours and then
No more hurt
At 2am

Flying
05:43
|

|
Come round here with your suicide bomb
But it's not enough, I know
Are ya just a number now?
Are ya just a number now?
I gave you my everything
But I found it in the trash
Where's my little sister gone?
Where's my little sister gone?
You been crying for a long time now
You been crying for so long
We were flying such a long, long time ago
The way we were - where's it gone?
The way we were - where's it gone?
Come round here with your new shoes on
Said you been in the wars
Who ya gonna fight for now?
Who ya gonna fight for now?
Learnt to use that thing you got
'Til practice wore it out
Where you gonna use it now?
Where you gonna use it now?
Come round here with your so-sad songs
'Cause I'm not enough, I know
Say I ain't no household name
Say I ain't no household name
Trying to catch up with you
A million miles away
So who's gonna catch you now?
So who's gonna catch you now?
