FLAME TURNS BLUE
I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah but no-one just a stranger did I find
I never noticed hadn't seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue

different places yeah but they all look the same
dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
and blind ambition where the flame turns blue

words dismantled hey and all the books unbound
conversations though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumour don't know if it's true
that you'd meet me where the flame turns blue

so I venture underneath the leaden sky
see the freight train with its one fierce eye
and then I listen as it tears the night in two
and a whistle and the flame turns blue

In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing

Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
break in splinters on the pages where I write
that if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
burn forever where the flame turns blue
yeah if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
burn forever where the flame turns blue

In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing

TWILIGHT SONG
Watch the twilight from my head
Hanging on a brighter thread
Little darling, till I see you once again

Tell the man to fill my cup
Honey I ain't gonna stop
Little darling, till I see you once again

Pinch me if I'm dreaming
I'm somewhere I've never been
when you lead me by my hand into the flame

Just the rain now on my hat
In the past what use is that
Little darling till I see you once again Na NA NA NA, NA NA NA

HOLD ON
Hold on hold on to me hold on hold on to me
Sometimes there's no easy way
got to cause somebody pain
watching you you hit so hard on yourself
cos you need someone to blame

Oh now what will you do
Oh now what will you do
Can't help the way you're feeling
Don't want to leave him so alone
Lisa cries her red hair streaming down feels like her heart is made of stone

AS I'M LEAVING
As I'm leaving a change comes on my eyes
these streets persuading me with mumbles strange goodbyes
and through the water through the ring
to the soil of everything
throw my heart out on the stones
and I'm almost gone

and there's no meaning in clothes and coffee cups
cheap hotel furniture where silence never stops
and through the water through the ring
to the soil of everything
throw my heart out on the stones
and I'm almost gone

and now I'm dreaming I'm staring at the walls
at cars all frozen now in late night winterfalls
and through the water through the ring
to the soil of everything
throw my heart out on the stones
and I'm almost gone

IF YOUR LOVE IS REAL
these days spent staring at your photograph
read your letter, made me laugh
but there's a shadow on the path
till I know if your love is real

cause its not as if a lot was said
falling in and falling out of bed
but now the world's turned on its head
till I know if your love is real

spend a long time now, persuading myself
that I don't need no-one, nobody else
that I'd felt all there was to feel
I'm in a daydream now, I'm out to lunch
should it come down to the crunch I'm wide open for that sucker punch
till I know if your love is real
till I know if your love is real

spend a long time now, persuading myself
that I don't need no-one, nobody else that
I felt all there was to feel
know if I should live one hundred years
I'll never see another face like yours
or stranger seas, or brighter shores
cause I know that my love is real oh my heart

TIDAL WAVE
Ever since your fingertips
ever since your eyes
talking with the lights on
bluer skies

even if I wanted to
how could I explain
coming through my head now this
tidal wave

all your favourite eyelashes
all your bluest skin
bring them and I'll meet you in
that room again

even if I told it true
why should they believe
coming through my head now this
tidal wave
tidal wave

coming over waterloo
dreaming of your hands
want to run away now
foreign lands

even as I lie with you
listen to you breathe
coming through my head
yeah this tidal wave
tidal wave
tidal wave

FALLING DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE (FOR STEPHEN)
Without a word, you set your sights into the sun
when all the world, you put to rights is still so wrong
Pin your heart out on your sleeve spouting all that make believe
from your lips it seems they might come true

falling down the mountainside with you
The clothes you wore, the people stared you looked so strange
to see you move, St. Vitus' dance was in your veins
Never once afraid to know, what it feels like when you go
out beyond where logic keeps the view

falling down the mountainside with you
falling down
If you were here first thing I'd do is knock you down
you left me cold, to meet your ghost all over town

So grind the stone and spin the wheel
lock the doors, on what you feel
looking back, it's like i always knew

I'd be falling down the mountainside with you
falling down the mountainside with you
falling down the mountainside with you
falling down the mountainside with you

RED MOON
Weighing that silver there with your hands
In no position to make demands
got what you wanted oh very nice
but every kiss must have a price

I'm gettin tired of being denied
of sayin the same old things
and these tears ain't gonna mend these broken wings
red mood

all that I've witnessed
hard to believe
I can still find it in me to be so naive
cry on your pillow into the night
coz saying you're sorry won't make it right

I'm gettin tired of, being denied
of things getting in my way
and if I'm quiet that's cos there's nothing left to say
and if I'm quiet that's cos there's nothing left to say

red moon
red moon
red moon
red moon

A CLEAN PAIR OF EYES
Hear me god I'm on the level
mapping silence seeing things
crying laughing like the devil
and before the might of all that's seen
I'll raise my head and wake to dream anew
with a clean pair of eyes

murdered gold and colours flashing
time like blood like flowing hair
faces merging airplanes crashing
and before the might of all that's true
I'll raise my head and wake to dream anew
with a clean pair of eyes

a clean pair of eyes
don't need no-one to blame
don't need no disguise
no sugar to sweet my brain
a clean pair of eyes

today I need no commentary
today I do not need to speak
no explanation necessary

and before the might of all that's seen
I'll raise my head and wake to dream anew
with a clean pair of eyes
a clean pair of eyes don't need no right or wrong
don't need no disguise
no sugar to fix my tongue
a clean pair of eyes

liquid air and flags that ripple
a tambourine of smoking suns love
that blinds us fear that cripples

and before the might of all that's seen
I'll raise my head and wake to dream
and before the might of all that's true
I'll raise my head and dream anew
and before the might of all that's unnamed
I'll raise my head and dream again
dream again
dream again
dream again
dream again
