Lights of London

Was there in your cage when your lion got tamed
up on the stage when your childhood flamed
so enraged but in ain't no game to me now

All the lights of London shining now
Slow you down and stay awhile
All the lights of London shining now

Standing in line with these abstract gifts
counting the time as the dragnet shifts
quarter to nine and the gray cloud lifts away now

All the lights of London shining now
Slow you down and stay awhile
All the lights of London shining now

Hearing you sing with your perspex tongue
walking the way where the dreams get flung
it's never your thing when it all goes wrong to worry whoohoh

All the lights of London shining now
Slow you down and stay awhile
All the lights of London shining now

telling a lie 'cause the truth just stinks
out in the mud where the lightning sinks
wishing you could as the strip light blinks away now whoohoho

All the lights of London shining now
Slow you down and stay awhile
All the lights of London shining now

all of London falling now
of London falling now

The Longest Time
Out-take from A New Day at Midnight

Finally the long lonely night is gone
I won't forget it
All the love you show I gotta let you know
You won't regret it
Now you're in my heart never be apart- nooo

And it might be the longest time
'till we find the rainbow's end
and it don't matter rain or shine
we'll be finding the rainbow
free the love that's burining in my soul

A thorn was in my side in loneiness I cried
Yeah I'm in trouble
Punching in the walls laughing as I fall
seeing double
but now you're in my heart we'll never be apart- nooo

And it might be the longest time
'till we find the rainbow's end
and it don't matter rain or shine
we'll be finding the rainbow
free the love that's burining in my soul
free the love that's burining in my soul
free the love that's burining in my soul
in my soul

And it might be the longest time
'till we find the rainbow's end
and it don't matter rain or shine
we'll be finding the rainbow
free the love that's burining in my soul
free the love that's burining in my soul
free the love that's burining in my soul
in my soul

Roots of Love

If the silence doesn't kill it
Then illusion will
Well we're staring at the sky
But the moon ain't gonna pay our bills
And now we're laughing bout it loud
When oh you know it ain't no joke
To see them kick the rose with glitter
Trade your dreams for smoke

And there's teardrops in the treetops
The wind is whistling through the mountain's teeth
A soul for every wounded dove
And we're out further than the razor's edge
Going down, down
To the roots of love

And its raining in my kitchen
Storm in my front room
The instructions don't say nothing
Just desire and consume
And the stars are falling right into my eyes
And mary bell are just sand
But maybe baby it's paradise

And there's teardrops in the treetops
The wind is whistling through the mountain's teeth
A soul for every wounded dove
But we're out higher than the rainbow's edge
Going down, down
To the roots
Going down, down
To the roots
Goind down down down
To the roots of love

Nan na nan an ana
Nan a annan ana

Tell me more lies

I'm young but already, there's doubt in my eyes,
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better, tell me more lies...
carry me further away,

from the blue television and the idiots kissing
and making excuses, for all that fails
break it down now, break it down
Break it
The winds like a dagger, It's tearin' my sails
I'm young but already, there's doubt in my eyes,
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better, tell me more lies...
carry me further away,

from my father and mother, and a room in a tower
breathin' the hours , like chloroform
and the something within me, I wanna express it
and how do you express it, when it's got no form?

I'm young but already, there's doubt in my eyes,
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better, tell me more lies...
carry me further away,

now the women are speakin', of that has perished
and memories cherished, and the fools men are
How many times? How many times
How Many? If only if only and la la la

 Tired of Me

Don't know where you've gone but it seems like a mighty long way now
Don't know where you've gone but it seems like a mighty long time
since I've seen your face oh I dream and I'll dream of that day now
I see you coming honey 'neath that sunny sky
Everywhere I go everything that I do and I say now
nothing ringing true it don't matter how hard that I try
Cause all I want is you so I wish and I wish and I pray now
I see you coming honey 'neath that sunny sky

Every night when I go out
get drunk till I fall down
bury my head I don't want to see
and I'm getting nowhere
and time is dragging so slowly
so tired now honey
so tired of me
so tired of me

I don't need you to say that you'll stay with me baby forever
I don't need you to tell me that your heart and your soul are all mine
it's ok with me you can smile and say nothing- whatever
I see you smiling honey, I'll be doing fine

Every night when I go out
get drunk till I fall down
bury my head I don't want to see
and I'm getting nowhere
and time is dragging so slowly
so tired now honey
so tired of me
so tired now honey
so tired of me
so tired now honey
so tired now honey
so tired now honey
so tired of me

All the Love
Out-take from A New Day at Midnight

Hear the warning, read the sign
Written here between the lines
Whispering poison valentines
To the love in me

Pull the blade out, from the fire
Crucify my own desire
Chase it off down to the wire
For the love in me

Milk of kindness, bread of dreams
Belly's bursting at the seams
Cigarettes and magazines
For the love in me

Through it all, this heart of mine
Leaving me so far behind

All this world, just made of breath
Every line get's done to death
Nothing here to face it with
Except the love in me

Through it all, this heart of mine
Leaving me so far behind

Meet me darling, on the steps
Paint the line upon your lips
Open with your fingertips
All the love in me
All the love in me
All the love in me

 Can't stand the confines

I'm so excited, that you decided,
to tell me where it is,
I'm going wrong, feel so foolish
I hadnt seen it,
And there you were, you knew it all along
You're such a joker, so mediocre
You'll go along way for sure
I can't stand the confines anymore

Break down the mirror
Feel your heart inside
Free now and running with the tide
Far from the city
And the doubts that chain
Heading out into the night again
Move your mouse and
Buy a house or
Sell a thousand kilograms of steam
Be realistic
See the statistics
Yeah but they make me want to scream
Lining up with
Idiots and middlemen
To get one foot inside the door
I can't stand these confines anymore

Break down the mirror
Feel your heart inside
Free now and running with the tide
Far from the city
And the thoughts that chain
Heading out into the night again

Calculate me
Underrate me
Before i've had a chance
To catch a breath
Careful now
The way you're going
Danger you might
Smile someone to death I've never known someone
To care so little
And yet be so sincere
I can't stand these confines in here
Break down the mirror
Feel your heart inside
Free now and running with the tide
Far from the city
And the thoughts that chain
Heading out into the night again

Up in the office
They're talking profits
I don't know what it is
But i don't feel safe
That human hope
Can still survive
Right now it seems
A miracle of faith
We like our murder
Nice and blurred
Don't want to look no further
Than the skin
I can't stand these confines that i'm in

Break down the mirror
Feel your heart inside
Free now and running with the tide
Far from the city
And the thoughts that chain
Heading out into the night again

 Mighty wrong time

Losing my sense of direction losing my nerve
losing my faith in change, in the god that i serve
just a regular regular person with regular dreams
sparks in the forehead now and feeling my blood scream

In a mighty wrong time
in a mighty wrong time
fill a room full of starving children luminous hope
beaming live via satellite to a million homes
what to do with this sense of proportion
to do with my eyes eyes and my forehead now
feeling the blue skies in a mighty wrong time

In a mighty wrong time
in a mighty wrong time
in a mighty wrong time

Sucking sucking on sympathy cigarettes feeding my face
turning my back each day on anything I can't face
what to do with these streets where i'm walking wrong

In my soul fire burning everywhere, spinning out of control mighty wrong time
images pouring voices unclear misty morning,
there you go darling blood of ? music pumping,
crowd all around me grinning from ear to ear
invisible tears why in a mighty wrong time

In a mighty wrong time
in a mighty wrong time
in a mighty wrong time

Aluminium feminine compact fits in my head
give me confidence softness lets me feel what i really am
staring up at these women all shining twenty feet tall
understand they're not on earth but wanting it all

in a mighty wrong time you better believe it
in a mighty wrong time
in a mighty wrong time
in a mighty wrong time na na na
in a mighty wrong time
in a mighty wrong time
in a mighty wrong time na na na na na
mighty wrong time mighty wrong

Monday Morning

No, can't make it on my own, in this life
I try to hold it but it's gone, too fast this life,
I put my hand upon my heart well I don't know where to start
wasting all my time (my time)

Lipstick mark or nicotine all the things that might have been
Monday morning falling down on this life
Blind, so stupid didn't see with my eyes
this love so bright and full of me your face your face,
i put my hand upon my heart girl i don't know where to start,
missing all my friends (my friends)
a hundred miles from anywhere sadness creeping in my hair

Monday morning falling down na na na na na oh yeah oh yeah
I put my hand upon my head what's to say it's all been said
nothing in my mind (my mind)
twenty pound and fifteen pence down in the park the ambulance

Monday morning falling down on this life
on this life on this life on this life
can't make it on my own in this life
can't make it on my own in this life

 What should it matter?

What should it matter if the sun don't rise
It's midnight forever in my Janie's eyes
And what should it matter if the curves don't spring
when I'm finding winter in everything

I live in this cold wind city all my life
walking around still looks the same
same people coming and going, doesn't feel right
see it all now so far away

What should it matter if the earth may slide
sky break in pieces and stars collide
the littlest sense left in this world of ours
my Janie took with her in the wee small hours

I live in this cold wind city all my life
walking around still looks the same
same people coming and going, doesn't feel right
watch it all now so far away

I live in this cold wind city all my life
walking around still looks the same still looks the same
same people coming and going, doesn't feel right
see it all now so far away so far

And all of the wisdom I held so high shining and useless as this April sky
the littlest sense left in this world of ours
my Janie took with her in the wee small hours
my Janie took with her in the wee small hours
now i'm finding winter in everything

Cry / When I'm gone

Jane, oh now Jane
You got me like a dog, oh now Jane
It's hard biding my time
You're sitting pretty in the light
for your word know when i'm gone you'll cry for me

cause oh, since i see those lonely eyes of fire in your skin
well all the world i had known, turned into shadow, into stone
for your word know when i'm gone you'll cry for me
and oh when i'm gone you'll cry

all the things you used to tell me
make me feel so sure
now i don't know what's wrong or what's right anymore

gave you my ring and you smile to receive it
down at the station you said goodbye
that our love be lost, who am i to believe it
now i can't find no easy summer
that's why

these three months are gone
wait by the door and no letter come
today i walk in a dream
through the streets, out to the stream
where we lay, i know when i'm gone you'll cry for me

now tongues they can talk
just how they want i know in my heart
what's true but oh when i stings
i'm terrified of all the things
i might do, and oh when i'm gone you'll cry for me
and oh when i'm gone you'll cry

all the things you used to tell me
make me feel so sure
now i don't know what's wrong or what's right anymore

gave you my ring and you smile to receive it
down at the station you said goodbye
that our love be lost, who am i to believe it
now i can't find no easy summer
that's why

 What it is

Down in the parking window
I want to make my way
Into the faces flooded
The window spitting gold
But it is so cold

They make my teeth all chatter

Hate it
I like it
I don't know what it is

 Dark Hills

A web of light divine
Screen to block my view
Head without control
Our tree grown askew
Cynical mass and fruitless passions
Mouthing the words with time
Slowly as the bond unfastens
Catch sight of the mountain in this climb

And I'm spitting out that sentimental syrup
That they like to pour on bitter pills
Wind in my hair, foot in the stirrup
And I'm leaving for the dark hills

Head long the hound
And the bandwagon followed
Deluge of tinsle and fire
Faces turned to stone
For the shroud of lost tomorrow
Sweetly sings the choir
Nothing much on offer here
Except celophane and laughter
They've even got oxygen, tender
To hold inside a hummingbird
Or weave out of dreams
And to feel just like a butterfly pinned

And I'm spitting out that sentimental syrup
That they like to pour on dollar bills
Wind in my hair, foot in the stirrup
And I'm leaving for the dark hills

Steps that lead to wall
The wall of seduction
And a whole new range of treadmills
Lips that speak no language
But destruction
Hey I'm leaving for the dark hills
I can't seem to get across with my conclusion
Its the billboard, not the bullet that kills
Cut back to the roots of disillusion
Hey I'm leaving for the dark hills

And I'm spitting out that sentimental syrup
That they like to pour on dollar bills
Wind in my hair, foot in the stirrup
And I'm leaving for the dark hills

 Pale Blue Eyes
Written by Lou Reed

Sometimes you make me happy
Sometimes you make me sad
Sometimes you make me happy
Mostly you just make me mad
Baby you just make me mad

Linger on
Your pale blue eyes
Linger on
Your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountaintop
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had but that I couldn't keep
I've had but that I couldn't keep

Linger on
Your pale blue eyes
Linger on
Your pale blue eyes

Skip a life completely
Put it in a cup
You said that life is like money and time
It lies but just can't stand up
Down for you is up

Linger on
Your pale blue eyes
Linger on
Your pale blue eyes
Linger on
Your pale blue eyes
Linger on
Your pale blue eyes

It was good what was yesterday
I'll do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves you're my best friend
But its truly truly a sin

Linger on
Your pale blue eyes
Linger on
Your pale blue eyes
Linger on
Your pale blue eyes
Linger on
Your pale blue eyes

 Over My Head
B-side to Babylon(1999)

No need to stress
And no need to worry
Soon we'll need no
Time or money
Goin' in over my head
Hear the sound of the sea
On the pebble
Just can't help get
Sentimental

Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head

All the striving
All the suffering
Maybe it was
All for nothing
Goin' in over my head
I know these streets
I know these trees
I'm going down
Where the summers freeze

Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head

Been a while girl
It's good to see you
Of all the people
to find you here

Goin' in over my head
Wahah
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over - my head

 Nowhere to Hide

The city air is poison
But it tastes so sweet
Blowing through your windows this morning
And the sirens in the distance
And the traffic in the street
To my ear it sounds like music for me

And there's no needle in my arm
But I feel so high
No I won't ever come down
But I'm walking through the sunlight
And its brokeness that greats me
In the doorways of this ancient town

And roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
Well the sky may howl
And the city smolder
I don't need nowhere to hide

Foundations are shaking
Woah spirits aching
Midday burning cold until
I picture your face
It starts a roaring in my head
Like the sea inside an empty shell

Everywhere see innocence,
Faith undermined
Everywhere a hunger and flame
And relentless disillusionment
Praying on the mind
'Till oh, the world is tamed

And roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
Well the sky may howl
And the city smolder
I don't need nowhere to hide

Through the melancoly rain
Darkness of the hills
You know how I feel the pain
But you kiss me and I'm healed

Through the baracades of reasons
Forgotten hopes and seasons
We stand before the waking light Strange as the years grow dark
My soul catch a spark
And now the minutes never burned so bright

And roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
Well the sky may howl
And the city smolder
I don't need nowhere to hide

And roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
Well the sky may howl
And the city smolder
I don't need nowhere to hide

Its loud and its clear
I don't need nowhere

 Madder Rain

Well I don't want nowhere to go
Theres nothing there I need to know
Cause everyday is just the same
In deeper blue, or madder rain

Count the numbers
Check the sums
Hand it father down to son
Better find someone to blame
For madder rain

Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain

I don't want no one to see
The fear I hide inside of me
The tear that fall now on my shoe
A thousand miles away from you

No use to hide
Nowhere to run
Still hear it falling in the sun
So grab your gun and take a train
For madder rain

Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain

Washing you cold
Washing you numb
Washing you further from the one
So fuck it all and laugh again
At madder rain

Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain

 Lucky Bags

Lucky bags, me and you
And all the aces wild
Summer, summer salting through
Spin, dance and jive

Trimming back the hedgegrove
That has grown so high
They say that beauty sleeps inside
Oh my, oh my

It doesn't matter what you knowing
Even less the games you play
You better have those colors showing
When tomorrow comes your way

Lucky bags, you and me
And a sheet of blue tears
And a net of crimson lightening
Right between my ears

Who cares if your hands are clean
When does your heart commit the crime
Cause you're saying things you just don't mean
Trying to make ends rhyme

It doesn't matter what you knowing
Even less the words you say
You better have those colors showing
When tomorrow comes your way

A flag for every color in the sky
And to god a show between us
Shouting "The beginning is nigh"

It doesn't matter what you knowing
Even less the words you say
You better have those colors showing
When tomorrow comes your way

When tomorrow comes your way
When tomorrow comes your way
When tomorrow comes your way
When tomorrow comes
