O

And so it is just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time

And so it is the shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you...

And so it is just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time

And so it is the colder water
The Blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you...

Ooh - did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to leave it all behind?

i can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you...

My mind...my mind...
Til I find somebody new

Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small
They grow in time
And we all seem to need the help
Of someone else, to mend that shelf
Too many books
Read me your favourite line

Papa went to other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking
And the Western man's need to cry
He came back the other day, yeah y'know
Some things in life may change
And some things, they stay the same

Like time
There's always time
On my mind
So pass me by
I'll be fine
Just give me time

Older gents sit on the fence
With a cap in hand
Looking grand
They've watched their city change
and children scream, or so it seems
Louder than before
Out of doors, and into stores
With bigger names
Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids, they lost their graces
And daddy lost at the races
Too many times

She broke down the other day, yeah y'know
Some things in life may change
And some things, they stay the same

Like time
There's always time....

Nothing unusual, nothing strange
Close to nothing at all
The same old scenario, same old rain
And there's no explosions here

Then something unusual, something strange
Called from nothing at all
I saw a spaceship fly by your window
Did you see it disappear?

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
Tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

Nothing unusual, nothing strange
Just a little older, that's all
You know when you've found it
There's something I've learned
Cos you feel it when they take it away

Hey hey
Something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
But I'm not a miracle, and you are not a saint
Just another soldier on a road to nowhere

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
Tell it like you still believe
That at the end of the century
There's a change for you and me

Don't hold yourself like that
Cos you'll hurt your knees
Well, I kissed your mouth and back
That's all I need
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down

And what I am to you, is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you, is not what you mean to me
But you give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea

Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth, your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around
Damn volcanoes melt me down

And what I am to you, is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you, is not what you mean to me
Give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask...

For what I give to you
Well, it's just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
No no, just another phase of finding
What I really need is what makes me bleed
But like a new disease
Lord, she's still too young to treat

She's still too young (volcanoes melt you down)
What I am to you, is not real
What I am to you, you do not need

I kissed your mouth
You do not need me

(Lisa)
I remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head round the door
Cos mine stopped working

I remember it well
There was wet in your hair
I was stood in stare
And time stopped moving

Want you here tonight
Want you here
Cos I can't believe what I've found
Want you here tonight
Want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down

I remember it well
Taxi'd out of a storm
To watch you perform
And my ships were sailing

I remember it well
I was stood in your line
And your mouth, your mouth
Your mind

Want you here tonight
Want you here
Cos I can't believe what I've found
Want you here tonight
Want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down

Except you, my love
Except you, my love

(Damien)
Come all ye lost
Dive into moss
And hope that my sanity covers the cost
To remove the stain of my love
Paper mache

Come all ye reborn
Blow off my horn
I'm driving real hard
This is love, this is porn
Well, God will forgive me
But I, I whip myself
Scorn, scorn!

And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear, if you're gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
I remember December

And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you're gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
(What the hell d'you want?)
