unknown

The sun has risen and it has smiled
Why cant you just once just be a child ?
I'm not expecting anything wild
You're like a man who just sold his soul
Sat in the shadows, sad and cold
Your shoulders young, but somehow your head's too old
Who'd ever chose, to be in your shoes
Oh my blue angel
You had three wishes and still you cried
Are you never satisfied ?
The child inside you has long since died
And here i offer a straw to clutch
You haven't noticed it as such
The shoes you're wearing they must pinch too much
Who'd ever choose, to be in your shoes
Oh my blue angel, angel, angel, angel

Dress me in scarlet
Ribbons and bows so everyone knows
I'm hiding a face
That hasn't the grace to go free.
Dress me in shadows
Sad april skies have opened my eyes
To the lie that i live
And given the river away
I'll change these clothes if i want to, and i do

I think that i've found out
What no-one's about to tell me
I think that i've found out
I don't wear scarlet well.

Waiting before me
Poets and painters may say;
"when will you stumble our way
Kick off your red shoes and fly now"
I'll die for their words if i want to, and i do.

Always before me
Poets and sages may say;
"we've been lamenting your fall
And carving it all into stone here
And skimming them into the river, just for you..."

I think that i've found out
What no-one's about to tell me
I think that i've found out
The place where angels fell from...
I think that i've found out
I don't wear scarlet well.

There must be something in the blood we share
Fermented over centuries or something in the air.
Our moody scenery, just won't stop bruising me.
I've had enough of grey skies raising tears
Another door is closed
I see the fire inside
Another door closed, another door
You know it's cold.
The map of bitterness i imagined
Has just brought out the nurse in me -
Or don't you need care ?
I know, there's lots of love
But it's all twisted up,
I've had enough of thunder ringing in my ears

[ here by the fireside, there's a war, a war
Let's blame the war on bad design - don't cry
Here by the fireside, there's a war, a war
Blame the war on you and i
I know there's lots of love
Still it's all twisted up ]

There's a victorian tin, i keep my memories in,
I found it up in the attic.
After looking inside, i find the things that i'm hiding...
The leaves saved from a mistletoe kiss,
Only nostalgia has me feeling like this...
Like i miss you,
It must be the time of year.

Remember december,
It's like a wintergreen beside a diamond stream,
Remember december,
A fall of snow and the afterglow.
It could be taking our breath away
But the years stand in the way,
Remember december,
How does it make you feel inside ?

Beneath a valentine, i see a locket is shining
I think it must be the wine,
Makes me feel it's all real.
Where nothing seems to rhyme
To breathe life into the dust of a keepsake
I might as well try to fix a chain on a snowflake
Or a heartache,
It must be the time of year.
Remember...

Should i feel this alone, should i pick up the phone
Should i call you up and wish you 'happy christmas' ?
I feel so alone, should i pick up the phone
Take my heart in my hand
And ask if you remember...

I have visions, i have views
And the sandman in my shoes
Take me dreaming where the waters lie
I have apples in my eyes
I have blackbirds in my pies
I have everything i need
If i had you..

If i had you,
I'd used your arms to fall into
If i had you,
I'd never had to care
If i had you,
I'd like to see the world the way you do
Like to see the world
If i had you

I have a splendid tambourine
I have letters from the queen
Worth a fortune in the dessert
I have ghosts who bring me flowers
I have birds with psychic powers
I have everything i need
If i had you...

Like a bird i'm living on the wing and on the run
I'm wondering if paradise was won by the gun
You gather fruit from danger trees
See more than you want to see
Too late, too late...

We didn't know what it was
And all we know is we've lost it
We threw away paradise
And all we know is we've dreamt it

Will it ever come again
When you call ?
So catch if angels should
Fall in your arms
For every night a reaching hand
A thousand snake mouths open wide
Too late, too late...

We didn't know what it was
And all we know is we've lost it
We threw away paradise
And all we know is we've dreamt it

Don't know where to go
Don't think you'll find it
I kneel down somewhere
So maybe they'll find me
You may have your dreams
But heaven you steal
Live by the sword
Live by the gun
Never to rest
'til your heaven is won

We didn't know what it was
And all we know is we've lost it
We threw away paradise
And all we know is we've dreamt it

Gonna get it back
Gonna get it back

Will it ever come again...?

See the roses growing purposely
Dreaming of the vase
Blood-stained poet calls it vanity
I'd call it yearning
Rarest butterfly, steel his charm away
Stab him under glass
From within it grew
Ink tattooed in you

D stands for desire, for desire
First i want the prize then i have the prize
Give stranger jewels
Little boy lost, little girl lost
Found, smashed their shrine
Medal on your breast only half as precious
As when your head
Medal on your breast only half as precious
As your desire, your desire

Severed roses drawn, in their vases, decay away
How they want pain, need pain, crave pain, love pain
D is for desire
D stands for desire

In every ounce of pleasure
From now until forever
I'm lost in you
And reading through the pages
Prophets and sages
Living inside of you
From innocence to blushes
Treasuring the rushes
Running away
Then i await
As the story ends i tumble from my bed

I'm nothing without you
I'm nothing without you
I'm nothing without you
It's nothing without you

And sometimes in the pictures
All lost between the scriptures
I confine myself
Then maybe there's a poet
Just waiting there to kiss me
Soft as a lullaby
And i need the invitation
Touch your slumber
Running away
Come and play
The story slips so deeply in my head

I'm nothing without you
I'm nothing without you
I'm nothing without you
It's nothing without you

Sailing leaves
Showering me
Leaving me
Down the stream (?)

I'm nothing without you
I'm nothing without you
There's nothing within me
How can we learn from you

Candles burn in the dead of night
Some butterfly ghosts draw closer to the flame
I hear their wings humming
Turn your back, now the arrows fly
When you fall to the floor, no one is there to see
I know the strangers are coming, i know
Love leads nowhere
Love leads nowhere ...

A day at the sea, low tide today
Just a glimmer of water miles and miles away
I know the dangers of running
Mermaid sings and you rush to her,
Mesmerised by nothing in her eyes
I know your reasons for rushing
I know the danger's running, i know
Love leads nowhere
Love leads nowhere
Blindfold, tied up, spinning round
See no hope so listen for a sound
We need a new direction
Signposts twist at wicked hands
In this confusion, nobody understands
We need a new direction, we need
We need love, leads, nowhere
Love, it leads, nowhere ...

On white horses let me ride away
To my world of dreams so far away
Let me run
To the sun

To a world my heart can understand
It's a gentle warm and wonderland
Far away
Stars away

Where the clouds are made of candy floss
As the day is born
When the stars are gone
We'll race to meet the dawn
You and i can only see the grey
Of a sad and very lonely day
That

Lend me your ear while i call you a fool.
You were kissed by a witch one night in the wood,
And later insisted your feelings were true.
The witch's promise was coming,
Believing he listened while laughing you flew.

Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all are the same,
And the love you have found lay outside in the rain.
Washed clean by the water but nursing its pain.
The witch's promise was coming, and you're looking
Elsewhere for your own selfish gain.

Keep looking, keep looking for somewhere to be,
Well, you're wasting your time, they're not stupid like he is.
Meanwhile leaves are still falling, you're too blind to see.

You won't find it easy now, it's only fair.
He was willing to give to you, you didn't care.
You're waiting for more but you've already had your share.
The witch's promise is turning, so don't you wait up
For him, he's going to be late.

So tired of lying here
For a thousand years
So sleeping beauty wakes, and shakes
The dust that holds her down
So what will we wear
And what shall we do
This twisted mesh of wire inspires no-one
I don't believe the lies
And nobody understands
Understand... how could you ever
Understand
Cinderella hides a masochistic streak
So sick of tending fires
Desires to burn the house down
Kicking of her shoes
Barefoot she'll run, she'll, she'll run
With nothing much to lose

How cruel am i to pass you by now
And it's a cold december
In the heat of next july now
Will you or won't you remember

Our summer
Will come again
Our summer
Melts the ice again

Gypsy whispers with her wild eyes
So heavy-handed with the heather
She says a change of heart lies
With the change in the weather

Our summer
Will come again
Our summer
Melts the ice again

{the darkest night has a morning
The coldest winters melt to spring
A skyful of honeybees swarming
Could you swear you never felt a thing
}

There's a place i know
Where the children go
Every summer's night.
They run as fast they can
Behind the raven-man...
Who shall he invite ?
The rather awkward girl
With the ragged curls
Much to her delight !

"come with me to the candy tree
You need to free your mind...
Come with me to the candy tree
And leave it all behind - "

Well it's an underhand
Kind of wonderland -
She can't find the door;
Because he's keeping her as a prisoner,
Lost forevermore.
And now the queen is red
And she wants her head
Just to keep the law.

"come with me to the candy tree...

Behind me, a caravan weighed down
With bad dreams and ghosts of apologies
There's no room, no room inside
For a hitcher with a suitcase of pride

Before me, a stallion pulls like the moon
Sun through the trees tells me i'll be there soon
The wind cries, 'cause she saw me crying
About the times i find myself lying.

I must have fallen by the wayside
The wheels crack beneath my foolish pride
Give me a sign in your direction
And show me to road to your soul.

Unhitch the wagon 'cause it hinders me
I'll hitch my skirts up and go carelessly,
Barefoot and riding bareback
Wind in my hair, it feels like honesty.

Close the chapter on a journey...
Burn the book and give me sanctuary,
In your arms it feels like...
In your arms it feels like...
It feels like home.

Sleeping in, in case i miss you
Dreaming takes me right there to you
Quilt of silver golden thread
Your face is shining in my head

Waking up i see you slipping
Don't disappear, quench your thirst there
Ace of hearts, stolen diamond
Skylark singing, church bells chiming

The sudden sight of you is pleasing
It's only perfect things we're seeking
My heart's awake, my fear is sleeping
You i'm forever keeping

Forever, forever

My mood is cracked, i start to tremble
Splintered tears to re-assemble
I'm not able to express it
But i'm sure that i will get it

Lazy is the sleepy summer
I melt myself and drip upon her
Now we're liquid mixed together
Oh we can last forever

Forever, forever

I am focusing my actions
Pressing on with this attraction
If arrows fly then i will catch them

Oh it's you forever good time

He dreams of release as life goes on
And all for his faith, his face is drawn
For ever and a day he sings his praise
Still living in fear of judgement day

Say we'll never come down from heaven
No, we never will !
With this ring, i claim you
With my name i name you

He dreams of release as time drags on
The jailed and the jailer, hand in hand
In heaven this was made to last for years
A promise intended to end in tears

I used to know a band
Two boys, a girl, they didn't understand
Hung out in london bars,
With beaten up guitars
Searching for a short cut to the stars

Then they won awards
For compositions built on minor chords
The darlings of the press
Without resorting to undressing
Giving lessons to the less adored

Let me, let me entertain you
Let me cheer you up
And show you how everyone can
Have a, have a real good time

One, two, three sold-out shows
They threw a party for the powdered nose
Who never saw the stalls or any curtain calls
Now you know how many asses had to get
A kissing at the albert hall

Let me, let me entertain you
Let me cheer you up
And make you feel everything is
Gonna, gonna be alright....
Let me, let me entertain you
Let me cheer you up
And show you how everyone can
Have a, have a real good time

Do you mind if, i remind you
Love is blind, still, hope you find it
You know it doesn't grow on trees

Where will you find it ?
Will you, will you, will you ?
Where will you find it now ?

Hidden treasure, pain and pleasure
All your searching, is it worth it ?
Your prayers are wearing at your knees

Where will you find it ?

For all the rings 'round saturn
I wouldn't change the pattern of my life
And if every star above me
Told me that they loved me
Then their love i would deny

At my window watching changes
Contemplating as the world is drifting by
Slowly walking through the ages
And imagining that i would never die
But who would take this gift of endless moves
For eternity exists here in this room

For all the rings 'round saturn
I wouldn't change the pattern of my life
And if every star above me
Told me that they loved me
Then their love i would deny

In the daylight, through the darkness
I'm reflecting all extremes
Of being weak and strong
In my madness i'm on fire
All the rain may come and wash away my tears
No i don't need to venture from this place
Where an age leaves its impression on my face

For all the rings 'round saturn
I wouldn't change the pattern of my life
And if every star above me
Told me that they loved me
Then their love i would deny

Please come and exchange all that they know from my world
And i'll fly away
Seasons spin their web (impatiently)
Oh how i trust their infinity...

It's all too much
When i look into your eyes
Your love is there for me
And the more i go inside
The more there is to see.

It's all too much for me to take
The love that shines all around me
Everywhere it's what you make
For me to take it's all too much.

Floating down the stream of time
From life to life with me
Makes no difference where you are
Or where you'd like to be.

It's all too much for me to take
The love that shines all around here.
All the world is birthday cake
So take a piece but not too much.

Sail me on a silver sun
Where i know that i am free
Show me that i'm everywhere
And get me home for tea.

It's all too much for me to take
There's plenty there for everybody
The more you give the more you get
The more it is and it's too much.

It's all too much for me to see
The love that shines all around you
The more i learn the less i know
But what i do is all too much.

It's all too much for me to take
The love that shines all around you
Everywhere it's what you make
For me to take it's all too much.

Emily tries but misundestands
She's only inclined to borrow somebodys dream
'till tomorrow

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll loose your mind and play
Three games for may
See emily play

Soon after dark emily cries
She's gazing at trees in sorrow
Hardly a sound 'till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll loose your mind and play
Three games for may
See emily play

Put on a gown that touches the ground
Float on a river for ever and ever
Emily

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll loose your mind and play
Three games for may
See emily play
See emily play

Am i essential
Can i be someone
Can i be anyone i like

Am i celestial
Can i be real
I know how it feels
To be dressed up in flesh

Move between
All i've been
And all that's next to follow
Drawn to earth
I need my birth
For all it's worth
Tired of miles of choirs of angels

Am i descending
Into the water
Beautiful daughter
Oh sweet baby-boy

Move between
All i've been
And all that's next to follow
Drawn to earth
I need my birth
For all it's worth
Tired of miles of choirs of angels

Here at the gaze of the blazing eyes
Here at the aim of the pointing finger
Teach us a lesson and send us to war
Is it the cure to make men of us all

They know all of our faces
See no yellow hair, blue eyes
They know all of our faces
In dark days, scapegoats blood spills

All of us soiled 'neath the creamy skins
All of us charged with imaginary sin
When we are the blameless and we are innocent
We are innocent
