Текст песни:

I can′t think straight,
I′ve been thinking in love triangles,
and vicious circles,
is it the same as before?

And I said I could never lie to you,
but you know I always do,
is it the same as before?

And misery is like a hearse,
cause you know where you′re going,
There′s crowds at the windows,
but no way of knowing,
who they got this time,
and who′s going next,
she always leaves a letter
and signs off with an S.

I can′t think straight,
I′ve been thinking in love triangles,
and vicious circles,
is it the same as before?

And I said I could never lie to you,
but you know I always do,
is it the same as before?

And misery is like a hearse,
cause I know where you′re going
The waves getting higher
And I′m tired of rowing
She whispers in my ear
Sings the cold Black Song
Hold me a while longer
She won′t be gone for long
And fetch the cargirl
I think it′s time we got out of here
No brakes into the night
And we sang as my mistress
And we got a fine witness

Just drive to (...) lives.

Текст песни:

I love the feeling when we lift up
watching the world so small below
i love the dreaming when i think of
the saftey in the clouds out my window
i wonder what keeps us so high up
could there be a love beneth these wings
if we suddenly fall should i scream out
or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as i′m crying
so frightend of dying
relax yes im trying
this fears got a hold on me

yes, this fears got a hold on me

i love the quite of the night time
when the sun in the deathly sea
i can feel my heart beating as i speed from
then sense of time catching up with me
the sky set out like a pathway
but who decides which path we take
as people drift into a dream world
i close my eyes as my hands shake and when i see a new day
who′s driving this anyway
i picture my own grave
cause fears got a hold on me

yes this fears got a hold on me

Floating neither up or down i wonder when i′ll hit the ground
well the earth beneth my body shake
and cast your sleeping hearts awake
could it tremble stars from moon light skies
could it drag a tear from your cold eyes
i live on the right side i sleep in the left
thats why everythings got to be love or death

yes this fears got a hold on me

Текст песни:

Lights still in our eyes, we′re leaving this whole fairground behind, it′s a dream that′s going
cold.

Circus never dies, the act forever haunts these skies, i know we cannot stay.

Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren′t working anymore.
Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw.

This place used to gleam, i see it in my hopeful dreams, now i had to get away.
We move towards the stars, and all that we touch becomes ours, lets keep warm till it′s day.

Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren′t working anymore.
Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw.

We′ll head south, just hold my hand now. I feel like i′m casting off my clothes and i′m running
through the snow towards the sunset and i′m always with you.

Keep on running, keep keep on running, there′s no place like home, there′s no place like home.

Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren′t working anymore. Goodbye to this dead town, until the
ice begins to thaw.

We′ll head south, just hold my hand now, i feel like i′m casting off my clothes, and i′m running
through the snow towards the sunset, where i′m always with you

Текст песни:

On the cusp of vessel 18
A look of terror in our eyes
The moonlight licked the face of danger
Innocence made us like soldiers
Untouchable and golden
The quilt of darkness dotted with our teardrops

I know you′re sad I′m leaving
So this may hurt a little
But girl look from your window late tonight
You think my heart is frozen
While yours is slowly grieving
You′ll see the boy you loved start burning in the sky

We were a dozen to the project
With a galaxy of questions
And all we heard was lies about the truth
No choice but be obedient
Like prisoners of war
Caught on the wrong side of morality and youth

We thought about our loved ones
Tallied 50 on our foreheads
With the pen your mother gave me in the Spring
The sun beat at the windows
Within an hour James had cracked
Left the ship and died still clinging to the wings

Текст песни:

I saw a friend that i once knew at a funeral,
He took the time out to be seen.
His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch, that he′d been given by a magazine.

He didn′t cry when the priest gave the sermon,
Just pulled up the woolen collar on his fleece.
Crossed his arms, gave a sigh and checked the time again,
As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased.

He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities, where we′ve never felt so small

Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water′s rising as another raindrop lands

He took a chauffeur driven car back to his hotel,
Passing through the sick streets where he was born
He said "Driver, what′s happened to these buildings? They all look run down and so
alone."

He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse,
Put the Do not Disturb on his door
When the maid came in the morning
She found him shivering on the bedroom floor

He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities, where we′ve never felt so small

Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water′s rising as another raindrop lands

He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities, where we′ve never felt so small

Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water′s rising as another raindrop lands

Текст песни:

You talked me to sleep last night
I hadn′t felt that sad in years
Your eyes like glass mistakes
They moved me close to tears
You speak those favourite fables which I′m yet to live
And casually confirm my fears
That I′ve got nothing to give

I wish I could say that I′ve got no regrets
But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk
I wish I could say I′ve come to time like old

But as you said goodbye, I almost died
I almost died

I take it back, all of it
Those names I called myself
The heroes of my childhood
Like hardbacks on the shelf
I take it back those promises I made to everyone
I′m falling through a ribbon last
Before I′d learned to run

I wish I could say that I′ve got no regrets
But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk
I wish I could say I′ve come to time like old

But as you said goodbye, I almost died
I almost died
I almost died

Текст песни:

don′t lay a finger I said,
but he held her with (?)
kissed the crest of her lips and put his hand on her thigh
one million in a week
all the girls gonna go
I′d kill you in a second
he laughed yeah I know
I won eight hundred thousand on a game show
but it′s not enough to win her back
as my tears hit the floor, he still said no
come on man give me some slack
I looked at the case, he said I′ll show you her blood
I screamed down the phone line: so is this the price of love?

when I stare in your eyes I see the image of god
well girl listen out for the phonecall and pray for a flood
I called at a quarter past 9 and said I′ve done all I can
he said you win some you lose some I feel bad for you man

he slammed down the phone, took his coat from the bed
she said what happens now, (?)
she said I love you, and pleaded for a hero to save
you knew deep inside that he planned it this way
I gave him my heart now he′s left it to die
and I know I can′t go back
he walks out the room, shouted see you around
she begged, come on give me some slack
you said, there′s no hope but babe you can wait for that door(?)′
she screamed from the window, so is the price of love?
said is this the price of love?
said is this the price of love?

so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?

Текст песни:

I think that people come and fade away like waves crashing against the coastal boat
We have to throw ourselves into the blue and pray that we can keep our heads afloat

Because I′ve walked along beaches writing ′Save Our Souls′ in the sand
And when the sea meets the horizon so far out only the shells will understand

You′re running from the waves, you′re running from the tide that′s changing everyday, so dive
straight in
You′re running out of time, the current′s pulling at your mind, so dive straight in

I think that people never change, though it seems like they do like rocks along the beach
(Just hold my hand and take a dip in the water)

We′re just slowing rolling by the tide, you′ll find the strength is underneath
(Your heart is young but still your body gets older)

′Cos i spent too long as a young boy skimming stones ′til the sea begins to grow
(the clones are waiting by the rocks in the darkness)

but i found treasure there amongst them, i′m gonna take it all the way back home
(the furthest step you take will always be ?water)

You′re running from the waves, you′re running from the tide that′s changing every day, so dive
straight in.
You′re running out of time, the current′s pulling at your mind, so dive straight in

So stained your eyes, wipe em clean boy, keep treading water, or you′ll sink or never see that face
again
It′s all lies, wipe ‘em clean boy, you′ll preach in danger but don′t you dare, no don′t you dare
pretend

You′re running from the waves, you′re running from the tide that′s changing every day, so dive
straight in.
You′re running out of time, the current′s pulling at your mind, so dive straight in
