Lyrics

- A Storm In Heaven

1. Star Sail

Hello it's me, it's me Calling out I can see you Hello it's me crying out crying out Are you there? Hello it's me, it's me I want to touch you It's me throwing stones from the stars On you mixed up world Been Circling round for 20 years And in that time I've seen all the fires and all the liars I've been calling home for 20 years And in that time I heard the screams rebound to me While, you were making history I could see the fire And I'll throw the fire back down.

2. Slide Away

So take your time I wonder if you're here just to use my mind Don't take it slow You know I've got a place to go You always do that Something I'm not sure of But just for today Let go and slide away I was thinking maybe we could go outside Let the night sky cool you foolish pride Don't you feel alive these are you times and our highs So take your time I wonder which cup you drink from I hope it's mine You always do that something Sonething I'm not sure of but just for today Let go and burn away Cause I read you mind I need it because it takes me where I can't find Because you always do that something Something I'm not sure of but just for today Let go and burn away I was thinking maybe we could go outside Let the night sky cool you foolish pride Don't you feel alive these are you times and our highs Slide Away burn away Slide Away burn away I read you mind

3. Already There

Seen it all I'm already there Save your books and your pills I don't need them I'm there You can do anything you want to All you've got to do is try I thought my best days had left me My best years had left me behind Then I felt them come back (to me) And all the wild eyes All the wild eyes no what I mean It trees cut stars and eyes to heaven I'll bend them back and bend them again If my skin looks tired and ol from living I'll turn right back and live it again You better pray when the music stops And you're left alone in your mind Cause I'll be hearing music till the day I die Then I heard it turn off I swear I heard the screams And all the wild eyes All the wild eyes no what I mean They're scared they've lost their dream They press down on me You know I thought I was there Hello high are you? Yes, well that explains it Oh you were walking rould like some kind of angel You were walking rould like some kind of angel Hello high are you yes Well that explains it Well that explains it

4. Beautiful Mind

A beautiful mind or a beautiful body I know which one I'm gonna end upon You say you will but you never promised thoughts A simle and a hand mix like water with sand As far as you're concerned A road and a sign I know which one catches my eyes And I, thought I heard it for a while Then it all came to me Sometimes I just don't know I believe in Don't you wanna kow when I suffer It doesn't show A smile and a hand mix like water with sand don't you know? I was thinking about moving back home I don't really need to live here no no no no I didn't I could I'm sure I would if I knew that I didn't I couldl I'm sure I would if I knew that A smile and a hand mix like water with sand As far as you're concerned A beautiful mind or a beautiful body I know which one, I'm gonna end upon end upon

5. The Sun, The Sea

I see I hear it's very clear Because the day has come when you have won It's myself I feel She calls me calls me the sun the sea yeah I know it's not for today It's not for today, it's for you and me yeah you and me Alone in my room you're there on the floor Open up your eyes let me get inside Learnt to love on TV Learnt to love on TV Can I help you? Can I guide you? It amazes me how I broke free Then got brought back in Cause when the feelings there shattered and scared I know you've won goodbye I'm gone Alone in my room, you're there on the floor Open up your eyes let me get inside Said you learnt to come on TV then hold on to me Can I help you? Can I guide you

6. Virtual World

See the water break my hand No one knows my name I'm not in demand Signs ar right The sighs are here Who needs virtual world When I can see it now I can see it now, oh now, oh now, now No-one goes no-one a cares No-one seen it anywhere She's breathing into lone dead stars Have you ever seen it I ain't seen nothing at all Come see the water break my fall No-one knows no-one comes Have you ever seen the book? The one on my help The one entitled self death, self death How to earn a million pounds I can see it now oh the hearse She's breating down in a hole in my head In the dirty half light were Time means nothing at all I'm calling out to some one Anyone who'll have me? Does anyone need me? Does anyone know how to cry? What happens when I go? What happens when it snows? I bet you could if you want'd to end

7. Make It Till Monday

Hey my friend are we gonna make it till Monday? Another Friday night waiting for a revelation I can see a million faces in the condecation In a moment you'd changed Things weren't the same You were talking at me not with me And your tongue was burning up in flames Are you coming back? Are you coming back? When Monday comes you'll be alone with The whole world staring at you Hey my friend are we gonna make it till Monday? Hey my friend friend you better leave now I'm gonna go my own way You said I suffer from inner frustration In a moment you changed Things weren't the same You were talking at me not with me And your tounge was burning up in flames And when you turn him off Where does he go? Where've the years gone? I don't no Hey my friend are we gonna make it till Monday? Hey my friend are we gonna make it till Monday?

8. Blue

There you were on the floor cut up And all alone I'll help you Concerened in a chrome dream I was a crease In the shirt that this world wears Till I met Blue, I was in obsicurity he said Loosen up who do you wanna be? We could steal a car and listen to the stars I can see you've choked on them too Had enough of late night films Just enough for an hour or two Oh Blue show me something new Oh blue show me something new Blue I've got a question every time I hold you Ye Blue I've got a question every time I swallow you it's true Spike danced for 10 days long We were just heading for the sun You shot him down there's blood on my face His heart's in the right place What they gonna do to you What they gonna do Blue don't forget the word I warned you Oh Blue don't let them push you don't let them destroy you Meanwhile I'm searching with my brain blown eyes See the world through my dirty lonely mixed up mind

9. Butterfly

You could flap you wings a thousand miles away Butterfly A laughing salesman sings His world so far away Butterfly Butterfly (repeat) You could take the storm away forever every day Cause you're mine And I don't know what to say You could let my smile disappear for a year Cause you're mine That's the only way I like it to be Butterfly (repeat) Now we get to the best part It happens all the time, telling me all your lies You get your kicks from seeing me on the floor Tied to your bed Tied to the things you said Butterfly comming back Butterfly comming back Butterfly

10. See You In The Next One

How hard is it for me to wait for you See you in the next one have a good time Could be a lifetime before I see you again See you in the next one have a good time Eyes they open wide Eyes they open wide I like the way It was hate the way it is now Lack of time and a wasted week end You wore your lies like a filmstar Eyes they open wide Eyes they open wide I like the way it was Hate the way it is now

- A Northern Soul

1. A New Decade

A New Decade The radio plays the sounds we made And everything seems to feel just right Coming through your lonely mind Well I've seen things That scared and bruised and left me blind So come on, listen along with me I think you need a little company And how long will I run for? Who am I running from? And it makes sense The youth coming up and making you dance Coz I've got something inside of me So come on I could use the company And how long will I run for? Who am I running from? But now I've seen my face on a cardboard wall Nobody comes, nobody calls And how long will I run for? Who am I running from? Teenage tears sting my eyeballs In a town where I wasn't born And I will never suffer So come on, come on, come on But now I see my face in a cardboard wall Nobody comes, nobody calls If your looking for me I'm there and it's true If your looking for me out there it's true

2. This is Music

I stand accused Just like you for being born without a silver spoon Stood at the top of a hill Over my town I was found I've been on the shelf too long Sitting at home on my bed too long Got my things and now I'm gone How's the world gonna take me? Finding myself used to be hard But now, I see the light If love is a drug Then I don't need it I've been on the shelf too long Sitting at home on my bed too long Now it's time to hear my song How are you gonna take it? I've been on the shelf too long I've been on the shelf too long I've been on the shelf too long e've got a lot of living to do There's a door in my mind that's open wide Come inside come inside Jesus never saved me He'll never save you too, and you know! I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot This is music And now I see the light shining bright in my eyes If love is the drug then it ain't for me Well music is my life And loved by me I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing Down down down we go till we reach the bottom Of our soul with this is music

3. On Your Own

Tell me what you see Was it a dream? Was I in it? Life seemed so obscene until it's over Who knows? All I want is someone who can fill the hole In the life I know In between life and death when there's nothing left Do you wanna know? You come in on your own And you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've know And your friends on your own Tell me if it's true That I need you, you are changing I've seen this road before down on the floor It is hurting me All I want is someone who can fill the hole in the life I know In between life and death when there's nothing left Do you want to know? You come in on your own And you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've know And your friends on your own Lies I've got to get rid of this whole inside

4. So It Goes

Life - roll my die, change this life You said this movie was mine But now you go and change your mind This is my life So it goes You come in on your own in this life You know you leave on your own 'Cause I don't need no calls When my feelings fall You showed me things I didn't want to see I don't believe that love is free Sure fine way to treat a man So it goes...you come in on your own in this life And you know you leave on your own I'm just a boy, and a wifeless fella Another drink and I won't miss her

5. A Northern Soul

This is a tale of a Northern Soul Looking to find his way back home He's coming from that same old road You know the one your folds don't know I want to see if you know me I was born in a rented room My mother didn't get no flowers Dad didn't approve of me, do you? I'm alive with something inside of me And I don't think I'm coming back So come on come in inside of me Let's spread it all around Give me your powder and pills I want to see if they cure my ills I've no time for love and devotion No time for old fashioned potion Take a look into my eyes I tell you so many lies and then I'll let you go into the night And I don't think I'm coming down I'm alive with something inside of me... And I can't seem to get it out I'm gonna die alone in bed This is a tale of a northern soul Looking for his way back home And my friend said, "Come in side of me And your speakers are telling the truth Comming through and into your room on a river of sound" This is a tale of a northern soul looking for his way back home And if he sees it I know I'll know (repeat) And there's fighting on the street below I know there's fighting on the street below But I dont' care coz I'm a Northern Soul And I'm looking for a way back home Too busy staying alive (repeat) Too busy living a lie, too busy living my life Too busy stayihg alive

6. Brainstorm Interlude

coming in...

7. Drive You Home

Your face so pale hasn't see the light for days But...on the hill You had no place to say "The skies are all mine And I'm proud to be here But when my lover cries I feel his tears" I was gonna drive you home I was going to tell you who I wanted We came back to the same place We didn't speak just danced in our minds Oh lover I know this ain't what it should be But let me take you home I'll show you what you should see I was gonna drive you home I was gonna tell you who I wanted I was gonna drive you home... I'll never change for anyone I know it's there but I just can't see it I know it's there but I can't see it A little light with you and me in it I know it's there but I can't see it I was thinking about the times I could have had And whether they turn out good if they turn out bad I was going to take you home Show you things your lover wouldn't know My angel, my lover, my angel My mind lover, my mind lover She's my mind lover

8. History

I wander lonely streets Behind where the old Thames does flow And in every face I meet Reminds me of what I have run from *In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That livng is for other men* I hope you two will understand I've got to tell you my tale Of how I loved and how I failed I hope you understand I've got to tell you my tale Of how I loved and how I failed I hope you understand These feelings should not be in the man In every child, in every eye In every sky, above my head I hope that I know So come with me in bed Because it's you and me, we're history There ain't nothing left to say When I will get you alone Maybe we could find a room Where we could see what we should do Maybe you konw it's true Living with me is like keeping a fool In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you know that I am me so come on I'm thinking about history And I'm living for history And I think you know about me Cause I am And one and one is two But three is company When you're thinking about the things you do And you're thinking about the things you do I want to tell you my tale How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail I hope ypu understand there's more in a smile than in a hand In every sky, in every kiss There's something that I migght have missed Why am I going to A place that now belongs to you But you were weak and so was I Let's pick it up, let's even try To live today, so why not smile Don't dream away your life coz it is mine Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine The bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope I've got a skin full of dope I've got a skin full of dope

9. No Knock On My Door

She knew my feelings were tangled and frayed, She took me into a windblown alleyway, She showed me what a boy should see, I'll thank her till the day that I die. So..here we go... No knock on my door. Baby , Till you see what living has done to me. And I'm sure that life means more than this. I took her to a room and I showed her myself, She made feel proud and respectful, There's nothing that this girl won't do for me, For that I've gotta thank her , I mean it. So..here we go... A face in the crowd, Jump up then jump down, Baby. Can you see through me? Sure,I've been here before, No knock on my door, No love , in the car. * Baby... Please be my style. Sure,I've seen it before, No knock on my door, Love in the car can be painful I know.* Cry , I've cried every night. I need to hold you Child, Oh , But can you see me? Knocking down your door. Sure , There's times I have crawled, And there is times I have dreamed, Oh , but it seems that , must you need my love? And I never seem to put it out , my love. And I'm shaking, I'm shaking, and I'm shaking.

10. Life's An Ocean

Life's An Ocean Too mych comimotion, too much emotion Dragging me down Living for today, don't have time to pray Ready for the game Take a line of fickle flame Imagine the future Wake up with a scream I was buying some feelings From a vending machine Say that I will see Something more than I have There's something inside of me Crying out for something else And if someone hears my scream Put it in a letter to me Slippery slidey road down Life's an ocean too much commotion Not enough emotion to satisfy me Slippery slidey road down It's slippery slidey road down Hold my hand and we'll walk down Dry those eyes and we'll walk down Slippery slidey road down Life's an ocean, life's an ocean Too much commotion, too much emotion

11. Stormy Clouds

I wanted to tell you my story How my life seemed to change in a matter of days The heavens break I am walking tall How come change always seems to bring the rain Stormy clouds, new horizons Come and get it, if you want to So hop on the train coz it kills the pain Blues player going to another town Believe me this boy here is sinking Just drinking These streets, these times They tie me down through with you But I feel no pain Stormy clouds, new horizons

- Urban Hymns

1. Bitter Sweet Symphony

Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony that's life... Try to make ends meet , you're a slave to the money then you die. I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down... You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah. No change, I can change, I can change, I can change, but I'm here in my mould , I am here in my mould. But I'm a million different people from one day to the next... I can't change my mould , no,no,no,no,no,no,no Well I've never prayed, But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah. I need to hear some sounds that recognise the pain in me, yeah. I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now. But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now. No change, I can change, I can change, I can change, but I'm here in my mould , I am here in my mould. And I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no Have you ever been down? I can change, I can change... Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life. Trying to make ends meet, try to find somebody then you die. You know I can change, I can change, I can change, but I'm here in my mould, I am here in my mould. And I'm a million different people from one day to the next. I can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no We've got ya sex and violence melody and silence (Have you ever been down) (I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)

2. Sonnet

My friend and me Looking through her red box of memories Faded I'm sure But love seems to stick in her veins you know Yes, there's love if you want it Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord Yes, there's love if you want it Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord My lord Why can't you see That nature has its way of warning me Eyes open wide Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye Yes, there's love if you want it Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord Yes, there's love if you want it Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord My lord Sinking faster than a boat without a hull My lord Dreaming about the day when I can see you there My side By my side Here we go again and my head is gone, my lord I stop to say hello 'Cause I think you should know, by now By now By now By now By now By now Oh, by now Oh, by now Oh, by now Oh, by now

3. The Rolling People

I got one more life Can you see it wasting away? But I got a plan Do you understand? The drugstore wife I was dealing soul and other white I won't shake your hands 'Cause death has no plans But here we are the rolling people Can't stay for long We gotta go So come alive with the rolling poeple Don't ask why We just know I'm on a big jet plane With my briefcase and crime in my veins I'll be the first to toast To my rowdy soul But here we are the rolling people Don't ask why We don't know So come alive with the rolling people Don't ask why We just go now Yeah Don't even know which way I'm going to
