Anyone

A cold dark morning I woke up alone
A cold dark morning everything is wrong
And I don't know anyone, I don't know anyone like you
I went to the river got down on my knees
Looked into the water but there was nothing there for me
And I would do anything, I would do anything it's true
I would do anything, I would do anything for you
Look into my eyes now tell me what you see
Don't say goodbye now, come back to me
And I don't know anyone, I don't know anyone like you
And I don't know anyone, I don't know anyone like you
I would do anything, I would do anything it's true
I would do anything, I would do anything for you

Black Carnation

So this is when the story ends
It was written in the wind
Arrangements have been made
Foundations have been laid
So its goodbye my sorry friend
We’ll never see each other again
As you ride on down that dusty road
With a black carnation in your coat
I can’t say I’m sad to see you away
You’ve been haunting me night and day
Don’t come back here in your disguise
Sick of looking into your hollow eyes
So its goodbye my sorry friend
We’ll never see each other again
As you ride on down that dusty road
With a black carnation in your coat
So this is how the story ends
It was written in the wind
Arrangements have been made
The foundations have been laid

Born To Die

She was the sweetest girl I’d seen
One night we laid down by the river
As the water flowed by I held her in my arms
She came so close she whispered in my ear
There’s something you need to hear
Some of us are born to live
Just take what time has left to give
Hold me so close so close to you
all of us are born to die
Some of us are born to live
Just take what time has left to give
She was the sweetest girl I’d seen
Last night she came to me in a dream
I said to her please come back to me
Some of us are born to live
Just take what time has left to give
Some of us are born to live
But all of us are born to die

Fishing At Night
03:33
|

|
It's like fishing at night waiting for a bite
Like fishing at night hold the line real tight
Its like fishing at night and the hook is sharp
Like fishing at night waiting in the dark
Ooooh and the bait is nice
Ooooh and the line is steady
When you're fishing at night looking for a fight
And the look in his eyes waiting for the right
Fool and the mouth is ready
Fool just a look in the eyes
Oooh and the bait is nice
Oooh and the hook is sharp
Oooh and the mouth is ready
Oooh waiting in the dark

This Colour

Floating down deeper than the ocean
The deepest blue
How blue if only I knew this colour keeps running through
Flying high higher than the sky
The deepest blue
How blue if only I knew this colour keeps running through
How blue I'll send it to you this colour keeps running through
How blue I'll send it to you
How blue if only I knew this colour keeps running through
How blue I'll send it to you this colour keeps running through

Girl it hurts me when you go
Girl you don't have to lie
This world won't pass you by
Girl you won't need to cry
In the evening you will fly home
I'll be waiting safe and warm
In the morning the sun will shine for you
Girl I need you close
It hurts me hurts me when you go
In the evening you will fly home
I'll be waiting safe and warm
In the morning the sun will shine for you
Only for you
Don't call I understand
Words can never replace the touch of your hand
In the evening you will fly home
I'll be waiting safe and warm
In the morning the sun will shine for you
Only for you
In the evening you will fly home
I'll be waiting safe and warm
In the morning the sun will shine for you
Only for you

All your mothers lock your doors get your children tell them the score
All you lovers hold on tight stay together til the morning light
In these hard times in these hard times
You've got to fight to survive if you want to stay alive

Baby x 3

Oh baby baby baby has something gone wrong
Tell me where you been lately is something going on
When I look into your baby blue eyes
I’m seeing something that I know you can’t hide
Oh baby baby baby I’m begging you for one more chance
I’m slowly going crazy my life is in your hands
When I see you walking away
Darling don’t leave me not in this way
Oh baby baby baby if I could turn back the hands of time
Back to when you were my baby before you changed your mind

Somewhere Else

You keep saying everything is fine
Why do I feel like I've been left behind
You tell me that it's all good
But you're not doing the things you should
I can't believe what you say
You give with one hand then take it away
I need to know if you're on the line
Or is there somewhere else you'd rather spend your time
Well I'm a generous man of circumstance
I'm going to give you one more chance
Don't want to lose you now and that's a fact
You let me down I won't come back
is there somewhere else you'd rather spend your time
is there somewhere else you'd rather spend your time
is there somewhere else you'd rather spend your time
is there somewhere else you'd rather spend your time
You keep saying everything is fine
Why do I feel like I've been left behind
You tell me that it's all good
But you're not doing the things you should
I can't believe what you say
You give with one hand then you take it away
I need to know if you're on the line
Or is there somewhere else you'd rather spend your time
is there somewhere else you'd rather spend your time
is there somewhere else you'd rather spend your time
is there somewhere else you'd rather spend your time
is there somewhere else you'd rather spend your time
You give with one hand then you take it away
You give with one hand then you take it away
You give with one hand then you take it away
You give with one hand then you take it away

Is Your Love True
02:54
|
|||
|
First you say that you will then you say that you won't
I wish I could tell what you want
I call you every morning and all through the night
Is your love true or a lie
Every time we talk you change your mind
You hide in the shadows with your eyes
I wonder if I'll see you again or am I just part of the game
Is your love true or a lie
I'm tired of playing this game of hide and seek
Why do you run away why do you tease
I need to solve this mystery have you close to me
Is your love true or a lie
Is your love true or a lie
Is your love true or a lie

Butcher

He works at the butchers, she goes to school
Picks her up at quarter to five, takes her to the pool
As the sun goes down he looks her in the eye
Moves up close to her, as they’re sitting side by side
The hands that were just cutting meat are stroking her neck
She sees the look in his eyes, he smells the perfume in her hair
Now they’re floating in the sea of love
Floating down together only darkness above
They go down to the water to escape the heat inside
He knows that she’s too young she knows he’s too wild
They lay down on the soft green grass the moon is rising full
His hands reach for her again she knows what he will do
The hands that were just cutting meat are stroking her neck
She sees the look in his eyes, he smells the perfume in her hair
They go down to the water to escape the heat inside
He knows that she’s too young she knows he’s too wild
They lay down on the soft green grass the moon is rising full
His hands reach for her again she knows what he will do
The hands that were just cutting meat are stroking her neck
She smells the blood on his hands, he smells the perfume in her hair
Now they’re floating in the sea of love
Floating down together only darkness up above
Now they’re floating in the sea of love
Floating down together only darkness up above
Now they’re floating in the sea of love
Floating down together only darkness up above
