Up All Night
04:59
|
|||
|
The truth will find me, right where I belong
A time and space where all I have is gone
So, I wait to see the light, because I’ve been…
Up All Night; I made a reservation to stay in this place
Up all Night; to feel this desperation, time cannot erase
Now you’ve seen me in my worst disguise
I temper truths in order to tell lies
Does desperation drive you to the skies?
So I lay awake at night and hope everything’s all right
Up All Night; to watch the red sky falling, falling to the earth
Up All Night; to see the galleon ships all moored to hallowed turf
Up All Night; holding these mirrors up still looking for my soul
Up All Night; watching the rivers flowing, rolling down below
And I get this feeling of emptiness
And I get a yearning for your caress, but I know
That it really can’t be true
But I still wait here for you
And I get this feeling of loneliness
And I have this guilt that I can’t confess
And I get this fire deep in my soul
And I get this feeling I shouldn’t know how I know
So I sit here in my room
Cause I don’t know what to do
If you ask me I should say
Something evil passed this way
Up All Night; to watch the clarions circling, darkening the sky
Up All Night; standing right on the edge, to see if I might fly
Up All Night, because it’s beautiful to stare up into space
Up All Night; because I realise no-one can take your place

Finnegan
05:07
|

|
I’m always trying to catch up with you
But it’s so hard to do
Trying to keep my eyes on you
I was a child like you, that much was true
Trying to keep my eyes on you
But you keep taking a drop on me
And it’s so hard to breathe
When you take a drop on me
Finnegan, can’t you wait
I am lying alone in the dark
I can see your flute; can I hear your harp?
Finnegan can’t you see
I feel you lying so close to me
I can hear your harp; can I hear your heart?
Finnegan you’re tearing me apart
And I can hardly breathe
When you keep your eyes on me
Cause you keep taking a leap on me
And I can hardly breathe
When you take a leap upon me
Finnegan can’t you wait
I see you lying alone in the dark
I can see your breath
Can I hear your harp?
Finnegan can’t you see
I feel you lying so close to me
The sound of blood
The beat of your heart
Finnegan you’re tearing me apart
It’s forever you said, it’s forever you said, it’s forever you said
Be strong, help me
Hold on, hold on to me
I feel your heart
Finnegan you’re tearing me apart

I have seen you in magazines, but I don’t know who you are
I have seen you on TV and film, I have watched you from afar
Take a shower now, get control
In the powerful restaurant, we all know who you’re with
We can dance we can talk all night, tell me what it means
You light a fire deep in my soul
Little schemer, come to my room
There has been a fire and you‘ll see it soon
You either have it, or you don’t
And you don’t
We can talk about who you are and everywhere you’ve been
On the cusp of a mountain top, hanging off a cliff
You can let your love pour over me, take control
Strange words and circumstance, will lead to our romance
Little pyro, come to my room
There has been disturbance and you‘ll see it soon
You either have it, or you don’t
Pick the phone up, tell me you’re mine
Pledge undying love until the end of time
You either have it, or you don’t
And you don’t
Let me go
Re-write the books of history and tell me who you are
(for goodness sake)
Run an airbrush on past mistakes, pour me through the floor
And tell me how I can get closer to the landslide of your soul
Strange words and a sideways glance
I’d leave given half the chance
I don’t know why, but you light a fire I can’t control
Little schemer, come to my room
There has been a fire and you‘ll see it soon
You either have it, or you don’t
Little dreamer, tell me your mine
Pledge undying love, until the end of time
You either have it, or you don’t
You either have it, or you don’t
You either have it, or you don’t
And you don’t

Come On John
05:23
|
|||
|
The truth is I was in love with her
I had big plans and nothing worse to do
All that lying now, has left me on my own
When you’re lying in your bed, you get to
Think of things that you should have said, you know
A few words here and there, a better path you tread
You got to keep trying to let the light in
Never give it up until your worlds colliding
I’m that picture of grief that everybody knows
Come on John, the truth fits everyone
You were the prodigal son
Where did it all go wrong?
When did you stop believing?
Come on, come on John
The truth is I got a lot of rope, and
I could string it up but I’ve got something worse to do
I dropped the key to tomorrow somewhere on the floor
You got to keep trying, keep lying
You gave up on the future without even trying
You’re a helpless case that everybody disowned
Come on John, the truth fits everyone
You were the prodigal son
Where did it all go wrong?
When did you stop believing?
Come on, come on John
Not everything you’ve learned is right or wrong
Not everyone you know will have their time in the sun
Not every germ you caught has made you strong
Everything you tied up is half undone
Every form of heartache a broken star
Every broken promise a permanent scar
Every walk of shame a step too far
Come on John, the truth fits everyone
You were the prodigal son
Where did it all go wrong?
When did you stop believing?
Come on, come on John
Every bad mistake will lead to doubt
Every little whisper you’ll one day shout
Every joy of daybreak will make you cry
Everyone you’ve loved you will love till you die
Every lesson learned as you go along
You will turn to words to right the wrong
Then everyone you know will sing your song
Come on John
(All the way from the heart of America.)

Paint A Darker Picture
04:35
|
|||
|
The shadows that define you
You have cast them into your dreams
Come here and I’ll show you
Maybe the darkest of all your scenes
They may never comfort you, from all you hear, from all you see
Paint a darker picture, to hide what once was bright
They’re calling to remind you
They have called you into moonlight
It’s not that they have cornered you
They just want you to feel right
And you know what that’s all about
And the sad truth that you hide
Paint a darker picture to make it seem all right
And your friends will be there for you
They’re calling to remind you; they have trouble reading your dreams
Paint a darker picture, colour it with night
Paint your darkest enemies, hidden in clear sight
Paint your darkest picture, shadow in the light

Can't Sleep
06:13
|
|||
|
I can’t sleep
It’s all those images, the company I keep
It lights a fire and it burns my soul
I’m out of control
I feel bad
I’m wracked with pain but it’s the best I ever had
I stole the shadows of the evil and the bad
To satisfy my soul
A progressive hypocrite works hard as any man
Don’t know how I got here, but I got here, so here I am
I bought a ticket for a one-night stand
Then everything just got so out of hand
And now I’ve nothing to show
So I get mad
I chase my targets of the feeble and the sad
They fall asleep and I took everything they had
I ate their dreams whole
Can’t sleep
I got this habit and it’s really not that cheap
It causes problems with the company I keep
I got to let go
Kill all the dreamers
Work hard, work hard
You ruined my life and then you say ‘only you know the reason why’
You sized up my world, then you let me go
And I’d tell you but you already know
You saved my life but you killed my soul
I’ll end up crying on The Late Late Show
Confess to sins that they already know
I got to let go
Can’t sleep
It’s all to do with all the substances I keep
I think I hide them but they’re never out of reach
I’ve got to let go
This real addiction is in the heart of every man
He shouts from the skies, declares himself free
But it’s image only people will see
Not the man that he claims to be
Because he puts on such a great, great show
While fires dying deep within his soul
It’s part of saying hello.
Losing control

Come Say Hello
03:11
|

|
The truth fits, come say hello
You brought diamonds
Come say hello
You’re leaving, all on your own
But you brought diamonds
Come say hello
The truth is, you’ll say goodbye
So say it in the moonlight
Come say goodbye
Tell me, it’s all right
Don’t be frightened
Come say goodbye
The truth is, you never tried
But you brought diamonds
Come say goodbye

The Search Party
04:20
|
|||
|
When the search party comes
They will run for you
Cause you’ve got it all worked out
And I’ve got it all to do
So when the search party comes, you’ll be one of the few
You can make the sky turn red
You can make the dark sea blue
So when the search party comes
They will come for you
So you don’t let the sun go out
Be careful what you do
Cause when the search party comes
I won’t be there for you
You’ll never know how much I loved you
You’ll never know how much I cared
So don’t start crying, I ain’t gonna save you
When the search party comes, you’ll heed the call
I could have been your bodyguard, I felt so small
Remember when I needed you, you made me crawl
So when the search party comes, I won’t be there at all

Stay
03:57
|

Stay
If you want to stay
You can help me keep the peace
If you never have to leave, then I’ll never have to suffer
It’s just you and me
Please don’t say goodbye
You’ll forget just how to try
I’ll have no need to close the door, here is all I have to offer
It’s just you and I
So, stay in my life, dream my dreams
See the courage and the colour of my soul
See from my scars where it starts
And begin to build a buffer, make me whole
Stay, I don’t want to be alone
I don’t want to say goodbye
Stay, I just want to share the stars
I can give you half the sky
If you wanna stay
I’ll build us somewhere safe to live
A place no-one will ever find
And we’ll never have to suffer
We’ll leave the world behind
Cause, there is not a key
Can’t you see, I will keep you free from others
And you know
That it’s all OK, if you stay
I will never need another to control
Stay, I don’t want to be alone
I don’t want to say goodbye
Stay, I just want to share the stars
I can give you half the sky
But if you go
Make a rush for the door
Keep your eyes fixed on me
Cause you just need to know
No-one else here can see, quite that deep in your soul
Stay, I don’t want to be alone
I don’t want to say goodbye
Stay, I just want to share the stars
I can give you half the sky
Stay, for the sake of all that’s true
And because I told you to
If you want to stay, I can leave an open door
But if you want to leave, then that’s what the key is for

Broken Man
03:20
|
|||
|
You gave your heart to a broken man
He still loves you
You sold your soul to the one you love
It was all that you could do
And you can’t take it back
You’re still trying to see if it’s true
You’ll be lying awake in your bed. Won’t you?
You gave your heart to a broken man
He won’t give it back to you
All night, in the heat
You’re still waiting to see if he’ll call
And you pray for escape in your dreams, that’s all
Cause you gave your heart to a broken man
A man you thought you knew
You can’t reach the soul of the one you love
And it’s breaking you in two
You gave your heart to a broken man
Now which one is the fool?
So late in the night when the rain hits the street and you fall
To the deepest of sleep you can hear him call
There’ll be no return to the broken man
But he’s still part of you
Yes, you gave your heart to a broken man
He still loves you

Blood Runs Cold
04:40
|
|||
|
Here’s a story of a demagogue, that’s true
About a stubborn man who stole the book
And rewrote all the rules
He told his tale of degradation
The words drawn from his pain
He told the priest to ignore his faith
And make one up again
His blood runs cold
You cannot buy protection from the pain it makes you feel
You can’t pretend he changed the world
He just built something from steel
I lie awake by moonlight to take solace where I can
I live on drugs from the barren land to become a better man
My blood runs cold
Paint a vulgar picture of the bodies you have known
Those you lied to and all those you loved
Discarded without hope
You cannot smile, pretend it’s right when all your spirits gone
You cannot feign ignorance; you were taught it well at home
Enjoy your life of affluence, pretend you’re doing well
Catch yourself on the escalator as you descend into hell
You cannot paint a picture if the colours are not real
Do you question your right to an afterlife?
Does the alter still make you kneel?
Blood runs cold
My blood runs cold
|

18. |

So this is how it starts with a shout from the heart
It’s everything you dreamed about
There can be no doubt
You have got it all worked out
The point where all the pain turns to gain
In your mind, you can finally hold the key
To eternity
You are finally free
This is where you take all the heartache you store
And you just throw it away
Rid yourself of decay
It was meant to be this way
This is where you open your eyes to the sky
See the world rushing in
What the future will bring
An endless path to everything
This is where the fault lines begin to appear
What if you finally find
It’s just one straight line
No
Then within the slumber you shake and you fear
You’ll never make the same mistakes again
Never get another chance to feel
The circle was never real
What if I look round but cannot see?
What if it’s all been a great big lie?
What if the scriptures are heresy?
What if I kill but I don’t know why?
What if I blinked and I lost my way?
Supposing I never saw the sign?
What if it never comes round again?
What if the circle is just a straight line?
