1. _ The Flesh Is Willing
Lying in her own asylum
Love has her in an endless coma
Tear marked pillows
Broken china
Things they say that love is made of
Wet and strewn
She lies sedated
Wrenched with arms and legs akimbo
Locked up in her own asylum
Locked up in love's endless limbo
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
Locked up in her own asylum
Feeling so ashamed and crazy
Lets the other inmates touch her
Touch intimate places on her
Love has her in a sea of vitriol
Tear marked pillows
Broken china
Things they say that love is made of
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
Swollen tongued and swimming eyes
Smiles but never ever smiles
Can't sleep at night for endless wailing
Weeping, wailing, howling
Love's shuddering howl
Love's shuddering howl
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
If she can hoodwink the doctor
She'll get out for good behaviour
She'll get out for good
Locked up in her own asylum
Love has her on her knees
Locked up in her own asylum
Love has her on her knees
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
Skin and bone
Hot and cold
Brazen brave
Brain and brawn
Push 'n' shove
Slick 'n' slow
Broken home
Love and you
You and me
Soft and sound
Smile and cry
Touch and go
Sad and slow
Break and bold
Wild and wound
Sleep and sound
Have and hold
Have and hold
Have and hold

2. _ The House Is Haunted
The house is haunted
By the echo of your last goodbye
The house is haunted
By the memories that refuse to die
I can't get away from the vision that brings
Intimate glimpses of intimate things
A voice in my heart like a torch singer sings
I wonder who's kissing you now
The house is haunted
By the echo of your favourite song
The place is cluttered up
With memories that have lived too long
Much too long
The ceilings are white but the shadows are black
The ghost in my heart says
You'll never come back
The house is haunted
By the echo of your last goodbye
I'll never forget you
The house is haunted
By the echo of your last goodbye

3. _ Always
Every morning
Now i pray
The phantom pains
Not to come again
A million tears
To slip away
And take the vessel
Of my blame
We have got to brave the storm
The people who do us harm
I will never walk alone
The pavement of this bitter town
Us forever breaking hearts
Breaking rules and making fools
Forever having have to hold
The key that takes me to your soul
Always feel the loner
On the outside looking in
Always fall the victim
Of the seven deadly sins
Saviour, sinner, dreamer, fool
They howl from the balconies
I just have to laugh and say
Well this is my kind of ecstasy
Us forever breaking hearts
Breaking rules and making fools
Forever having have to hold
The key that takes me to your soul
Smiles may come and go
But how i love you when you cry
Baby you're the arrow
Through the apple of my eye
Us forever breaking hearts
Breaking rules and making fools
Forever having have to hold
The key that takes me to your soul
To your soul
Always and always

4. _ Traumas. Traumas, Traumas
You, unbelievably small
Bang your hands on the wall
Say "to hell with them all"
Say "to heaven with you"
Me, what will become of me?
Wading into the sea
Water way past my knees
Swallowing oceans is my speciality
You, like a trembling bird
Hanging on to each word
Crawling out of my sight
Oh how spite makes might
Me, crass stupidity's pawn
Kept us shouting till dawn
Old memories torn
Wishing i'd never been born
(you're losing it, losing it, losing it)
And you, jack of diamonds maybe
But the ace ever me
With each turn of the card
Ever hardening heart
Me, smiling one moment
Crying the next
Building up to explosions
That leave me shipwrecked
You, stubborn brazen and wild
Unpredictable child
Emotional blackmail
Always destined to fail
(you're a failure in love, you're a failure in love)
Me, saying things i regret
I don't want to stop yet
Got to make you break down
Got to make you break uncontrollably down
You, rhinoceros skin
Never, never give in
Never, never giving
Hurts so to see me win
(you're always unforgivably stubborn)
Me, yes a cancer you tell
With the softest of shells
Always ending the same
Taking all of the blame
I'm taking all of the blame
(this is the last time
This is the last time)
Traumas, traumas, traumas, traumas, traumas

5. _ My Candle Burns
You cried last night in your sleep
Close my arms 'round you when you weep
Archangel on wings of the night
Keeps you safe 'til the kiss of the light
The hour is dark before the dawn
And so the lull before the storm
A world full of people alone
But i found a love of my own
My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But ah my foes and oh my friends
It gives a lovely light
Soft voices whispering to me
From the sad heaving breast of the sea
As i stand in a pale light again
A moth clinging desperately to his flame
The hour is dark before the dawn
And so the lull before the storm
A world full of people alone
I cling to a flame of my own
My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But ah my foes and oh my friends
It gives a lovely light

6. _ Contempt
I'm trying to wash the taste away
I'm trying to wash the taste away
Trying not to cry the night away
Trying not to cry the night away
I'm finding a bitter word to say
And i'm finding it easier every day
Contempt
Every day it fills me
Contempt
Every day it kills me
Contempt
Every tear that blinds me
Contempt
Building up inside me
One kiss and the poison melts away
One smile and the poison melts away
I'm trying not to cry the nights away
I'm trying not to cry the nights away
I'm finding a bitter word to say
And i'm finding it easier every day
Contempt
Every day it fills me
Contempt
Every day it kills me
Contempt
Every tear that blinds me
Contempt
Building up inside me
You came crawling out the woodwork
Like some ghost from my past
With stories 'bout me
That i'd long since forgot
Telling me tales of how big you are now
But i know you as nothing
As nothing you got
You'd split me wide open
And spill all my beans
Because you think
That i still think
Something of you
You'd run away with everything
That i have
Take all my soul, sense and dignity too
Loving is the saddest game to play
Loving is the saddest game to play
I'm trying not to cry the nights away
I'm trying not to cry the nights away
I'm finding a bitter word to say
And i'm finding it easier every day
Contempt
Every day it fills me
Contempt
Every day it kills me
Contempt
Every tear that blinds me
Contempt
Building up inside me

7. _ I Who Never
I've destroyed another love
Have to stamp out every good that touches me
In and out of my heart
Crawls the ugly worm of jealousy
Born from insecurity
Never meant to drive you away
I, guilty of all crimes
Saw myself in another light today
I who never
I who never
Outside in the sun hazed street
Is an empty parade of sinking hearts
Will i see your ragged head
Among those in search of one fast kiss
My searching heart joins those
Goes out to take your hand
You were once a part of this
My searching heart joins those
Goes out to take your hand
You were once a part of this
I who never
I who never
Sat sad by silent phone
Changed my number forgot to tell the world
Get drunk get dead and gone
You were such a special one to me
How can i with so much
Really have nothing at all
How can i with so much
Really have nothing at all
I who never
I who never
Desperate, irrational
Just another face another window
I would prowl the city streets
Searching for your signs
Fuelled by sweeter times
This could even make me pray
I who never ever ever prays
This could even make me pray
I who never ever ever prays
I who never
I who never

8. _ Stories Of Johnny
Try hard to make the world look bright today
Try hard to make my nightmares go away
Try hard to keep the fear away
The cold of day, try hard
Try hard to play the games the world would like you to play
But people, they don't really listen
Their smiles are the keys to the prison
I'll call on the angels, to hold my head softly
They'll always remember . . . stories of johnny
Try hard to make my anger go away
Try hard to make my money last the day (no way)
Try hard to keep away the pain
Stop the rain, try hard
Try hard to fly a thousand miles away
But people, they don't really listen
Their smiles are the keys to the prison
I'll call on the angels, to hold my head softly
They'll always remember . . . stories of johnny
My smoky lover . . . will close my eyes forever

9. _ Love Letter
There are times
You can't help but to cry
And time won't heal
By and by
There are times
You can't hold back the tears
And hurt won't heal
With the years
But, i will always love you
Always love you
Always you and no-one else but you
There are times
When the world is cruel
And i won't be there for you
There are times
You can't hold back the tears
And hurt will heal
With the years
I will always love you
Always love you
Always you and no-one else but you
When storms come our way
When tides wash away
When storms come our way
When tides wash away
I will always love you
Always love you
Love you love you love you love you
Always love you

10. _ Love And Little White Lies
Every day i watch my mirror
Getting a little older, wiser, sadder with the years
Missed chances
Forgotten romances
Starting now to loosen with the tears
I could fall in love
Any time, any place, any where
But i spent last night
Treading on valentines
Treading on valentines
You know it didn't mean a thing
I didn't make me give two damns
You know i thought i'd never fall in love
It only worked in films
Response, responsibilities, bravery, hardship
Giving up and giving too
Here's little things i think i mean
Some consequence to you
I'll never get the chance again
Faces heartbreakingly wonderful
All flash by me
Steaming neon's in the rain
Diamonds down the memory drain
But you inspire me, fuel and fire me
Never leave me
Or deceive me
We could sit out winter evenings
Laughing over love and little white lies
Sit out winter evenings
Laughing over love and little white lies
Bitter coffee
Stomach aching
Pass the time while our hearts are breaking
I've got faith in you
So don't you have faith in me?
Misted mornings
Damp in sorrow
Love me just the same tomorrow
Something blue and something borrowed
And a bruise inside of me
I'm drunk on your delivery
Intoxicated by your eyes
Got to find an antidote
Before we say goodbye
Car wrecks and romantic moons
With you and i the stars
We're somewhere in a midnight movie
Somewhere off afar
There's no ice cream in the interval
No sweets or cigarettes
Just you and i
And a cast of thousands
Trying to forget
We could sit singing songs for suckers
Blacked out with hymns of pain and sorrow
Oh kiss me once before you go
I may be dust tomorrow
Every day i watch my mirror
Getting a little older, wiser, sadder with the years
Missed chances
Forgotten romances
Starting now to loosen with the tears
My heart is pulsing brilliant red
And you know red's a colour for sin and danger
Ready now to take my chance
With any handy stranger
People will always
Love and love and love and love and love
But what the hell
We fool each other
When we've suffered through enough
But you inspire me
Fuel and fire me
Never leave me
Or deceive me
We could sit out winter evenings
Laughing over love and little white lies
Sit out winter evenings
Laughing over love and little white lies
Oh can't you feel my heart
Can't you feel my heart
