Hand me down my favourite coatShow what you’re made of, surprise us bothFly in the night, slow down townBrake too fast, bring us round, bring us round, And our finest days have comeSummer nights go on so longSo high I might as well be gone, And you are magnificentI can see you with my eyes closedYou’re the last one standing, Lean and hungry with a fire in your eyesI’ll play catch up, you can show me where it’s atI’ll go along with anything that you want to doEvery day I’m making groundSo high I might as well be gone, And you are magnificentAnd I can see you with my eyes closedWhen you’re walking into my houseI’ll be the last one standing, If you want you can get thereNight vision and I find your white dovesLanding in your treasure towersAnd I promise that I won’t look backEvery day I’m making groundSo high I might as well be gone, And you are magnificentAnd I can see you with my eyes closedWhen you’re walking into my houseI’ll be the last one standingAnd you are magnificentAnd I can see you with my eyes closedWhen you’re walking into my houseI’ll be the last one standing, Don’t ask the question‘Cause uou won’t like the answerGet up off your chairThere’s nothing for you hereWhere the guests like souvenirsThey play with you till you’re all worn outBack where the guests like souvenirs, Prison colour blueIt’s a uniform of choiceCount yourself luckyThat you don’t write the softwareWhere the guests like souvenirsThey play with you till you’re all worn outBack where the guests like photographsThey hope you had a good night, Loosen up your tieMake the viewers cryI cannot pretend to cry, Memorise by heartEvery single partThere’s nothing for you hereWhere the guests like souvenirsThey play with you till you’re all worn outBack where the guests like souvenirsThey hope you had a good night, It’s a dark and empty roomThe sun beating hard on your doorFeel emotion roar within youYou’re flesh and blood like anyoneMake some sense of your lifeMove your hand and make the markI don’t know why you’re so confusedYou’re flesh and blood, there’s no excuseAnd the hunger insideWon’t go away, it’s starting to riseAnd the longer you hideThe more you denyAnd the sea rushes inThe wind is howling at your backThe past is always overturnedIt’s a dead man who would refuseAnd twice the man to fill his shoesAnd the hunger insideWon’t go away it’s starting to riseAnd the longer you hideThe more you denyAnd the hunger insideWon’t go away it’s starting to riseAnd the sea rushes inInto my worldI can feel the king tide comingAll my senses overflowingOne man waiting out the backHorns blow and cymbals crashSo paint a circle in the skyI am breathless in the arms of loveThere’s a bruise on my backAnd a new understanding too, Tales from my headCan’t buy the bookNo one’s listening but I guess you couldTry whistling this, You say you’re tiredLiquid as waterBut you’ll succumb now as I stroke your backI’m the best that you know, And every time you think of meI hope you think of true romanceAnd every time you want to leaveYou give us both another chance, Warmest welcomeViolent strangerHe said come here as he pushed me downImpossible to doIn high heels walking into wallsEver wonder if you’re here at all?Try whistling this, And my words are ringing in you eyesDrawing your attention now to all the things that you ignoreAnd if I can’t be near you I would rather be adrift in spaceAnd if the gods desert us now I’ll turn this chapel into flamesAnd if someone tries to hurt you I would put myself in your place, I might be old but I’m someone new she saidI’m so sore that I could cry alwaysIn the night lay your tired arms, She will have her waySomehow I will still believe her, She’s the life I’ve been frightened of seems likeDeathly silence and especially the darkFeels like I am heavy and my spirit has died, She will have her waySomehow I will still believe herShe will have her wayOne day I will come back, Still no end in sightThough I travel far and wideA dying man is doing timeThinker, soldier terrified, And she will have her waySomehow I will still believe herShe will have her wayOne day I will come back, See it anyone got my eyes got my faceSing it everyone got my nose got my bloodConscience plays upon me nowSafe until my luck runs outCuckoos call, pendulum swingsI thought you knew everythingLift my hands make the cross, Sinner I have never learnedBeginner I cannot returnForever I must walk this earthLike some forgotten soldier, Those things I should keep to myselfBut I feel somehow strangely compelledUnder moonlight I stood wild and nakedFelt no shame just my spirit awakened, Fireball drop from the skyAll my dreams have come to passWhere's my faith is it lostCan't see it till you cast it off, Sinner there is no such thingBeginner I have learned to singForever I must walk this earthLike some forgotten soldier, Today I am still disconnectedTo the face that I saw in the cloudsAnd the closest I get to contentmentIs when all of the barriers come down, The hangman’s in the nooseThe prisoner is looseThe wheel has come aroundAnd the velvet curtain coming down, And I left it thereA suitcase on a chairI feel my weightAnd something tells me, There’s a river undergroundIn a place where there’s no one to be found, And no one came to seeThe oldest show in townNo one came to seeThe oldest show in townNo one came to seeThe oldest show in town, Santa’s on the crossInnocence is lostThe music’s in your mindAnd the windscreen wipers move in time, And no one came to seeThe oldest show in townNo one came to seeThe oldest show in town, And the stranger was a ghostThe killer was a priestTook the first excuseMade the madness seem cute lippedOn your own you’ll find your own escapeThere are many ways to chooseAnd I don’t know which one you should take, A home is all you wantOn the back of a truck driving down the streetIt doesn’t seem so muchBut it’s all you need to make your life complete, And no one came to seeThe oldest show in townNo one came to seeThe oldest show in townNo one came to seeThe oldest show in townNo one came to seeI lean the slightest bit towards youWhite turns into brown, light goes to blackYour eyes danced in my reflectionAnd the horse ate my trousers, Remember my loose tongueForget what I just saidI’d crawl over broken glassIf we could start againBefore our plans were madeWhen the world was youngThe house is falling downBecause of my loose tongue, Shouldn’t say so muchShouldn’t talk so loudNo sooner on your lipsThan it’s all over townIn all our given daysHow many gone to wasteA good man has been hungBecause of my loose tongue, Your skin is changing its hueYour guard is coming down fastLooks like someone I knewUncovered happiness at last, All the wagging tonguesToo much informationIn the future nowUnder massive doubtThe papers on the streetGet trampled under feetAnd they settled for a princely sumGoodwill is coming downAnd when it rainsYour well is full, He’s only halfway through his lifeHe’s only used up all his time, Remember who we are supple and newIf I lose my way you’d tell me the truth for all its worthLifting up your hand show me my rescueWhat I saidTruth is worth more than prideTruth, worth more than pride, Everything you do continues long after you’ve goneCircle overhead the view from the bedSo high and lonelySixteen times a day he comes to groundTo get some attentionIt’s what I saidTruth is worth more than prideTruth, it cannot be deniedTruth is worth more than prideThey have showered me with richesAnd they say that I am worthy of their loveAnd their attentionBut they still don’t know the truth, Everything you do continues long after you’ve goneWhat I saidTruth is worth more than prideTruth cannot be deniedTruth is worth more than pride, The view from the bed so high and lonelySo high and lonelyTruth is worth more than pride, hey heyView from the bed, so high and lonely, so high and lonely, You weightless astronautYou sunset diving birdYou cool wind set upon the branches of a treeYou holding my attentionYou are my first impressionAnd I can recognize the life that I’ve been given, One day they will discover youLow cloud moving cross the skyOne day they will uncover youYoung girl wash the sleep out of your eyes, Dust on my pianoWool rest never sleepingAll your best one-liners borrowed from a filmThe thing that gets to me isHow you’re never free andHow the spirit yearnsYour body is a prison, One day they will discover youLow cloud moving cross the skyOne day they will uncover you…, The thing that gets to meIs how you’re never free andHow the spirit yearnsYour body is a prison, Bright as her eyes wide in the nightWhy can’t you see me?Come with the wind, time to beginThere’ll be no compromiseWhen all you want is wrapped around youAs those saints preserve us when we’re dyingTo pick us up from where we’re lying, One day they will discover youOne day they will uncover youBright as her eyes wide in the night, They will discover youThey will discover you…, Remove yourself from the pastWherever you are you don’t have to stayOld and wise lion’s eyesI wish you were here to give me advice, Lightweight, dream dateFly or fall, it’s my call, In the club, halfway upWhiskey at five, a weekend retreatBrave and young, the bells have rungThey’re playing the tune, I’m tapping my feet, Close your eyes go to sleepClose your eyes get so dizzyWorld is spinning in your bedI know where the sun goesGone to wake up the sparrowsIn England it’s morning, In time you’ll see that some thingsTravel faster than lightIn time you’ll recogniseThat love is larger than life.
