No Angel

Here With Me

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until your resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
and I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me


Hunter

With one light on in one room,
I know you're up when I get home
With one small step upon the stair,
I know your look when I get there
If you were a king up there on your throne,
Would you be wise enough to let me go
For this queen you think you own

Wants to be a Hunter again,
Wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go.
The unread book and painful look,
The TV's on, the sound is down
One long pause, then you begin,
Oh look what the cat's bought in
If you were a king up there on your throne,
Would you be wise enough to let me go
For this queen you think you own

Wants to be a hunter again,
Wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go, let me leave
For the crown you've placed upon my head
feels too heavy now
And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking
I want to be a hunter again,
Want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go.


Don't Think Of Me

So you're with her, and not with me,
I hope she's sweet, and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully,
A little angel beside you
So you're with her, and not with me,
Oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house is smart and clean,
Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
Oh how lovely it must be
When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms, don't think of me

So you're with her, and not with me,
I know she spreads sweet honey
In fact your best friend,
I heard he spent last night with her
Now how do you feel
When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms, don't think of me

And it's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
Does it bother you now all the mess I made
Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played
Does it bother you now when I'm not there
When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms, don't think of me

And It's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
Oh it's too late, oh it's too bad, don't think of me.


My Lover's Gone

My lover's gone,
His boots no longer by my door,
He left at dawn,
And as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more,
I will not watch the ocean,

My lover's gone,
No earthly ships will ever
Bring him home again,
Bring him home again

My lover's gone,
I know that kiss will be my last,
No more his song,
The tune upon his lips has passed
I sing alone,
While I watch the ocean,

My lover's gone,
No earthly ships will ever
Bring him home again,
Bring him home again




All You Want

I'd like to watch you sleep at night,
To hear you breathe by my side
And although sleep leaves me behind,
There's nowhere I'd rather be
And now our bed is oh so cold,
My hands feel empty, no-one to hold
I can sleep what side I want,
It's not the same with you gone
Oh if you'd come home, I'll let you know that

All you want, is right here in this room, all you want
And all you need, is sitting here with you, all you want
It's been three years, one night apart,
But in that night you tore my heart
If only you had slept alone,
If those seeds had not been sown
Oh you could come home and you would know that

All you want, is right here in this room, all you want
All you need is sitting here with you, all you want
I hear your key turning in the door,
I won't be hearing that sound anymore
And you and your sin can leave the way you just came in,
Send my regards to her
I hope you've found that

All you want, is right there in that room, all you want
All you need is sitting there with you, all you want
I'd like to watch you sleep at night,
To hear you breathe by my side.


Thank You

My tea's gone cold, I wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today,
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
it's not so bad and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last and
I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now,
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life.


HONESTLY OK

I just want to feel safe in my own skin,
I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world

But I'm so lonely
I don't even want to be with myself anymore
On a different day,
If I was safe in my own skin,
Then I wouldn't feel lost and
So frightened

But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin
And I'm so lonely
I don't even want to be with myself anymore

I just want to feel safe in my own skin,
I just want to be happy again.


Slide

Even on a day like this
when you're crawling on the floor
Reaching for the 'phone to ring
anyone who knows you anymore

It's all right to make mistakes,
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something

Staring at the same four walls,
have you tried to help yourself
The rings around your eyes
they don't hide,
that you need to get some rest

It's all right to make mistakes
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breath
and choose your moment
Don't slide

Even at a time like this
when the morning seems so far
Think that pain belongs to you
but it's happened to us all

It's all right to make mistakes
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breath
and choose your moment
Don't slide

You bought this on yourself
and it's high time you left it there
Lie here and rest your head
and dream of something else instead
Don't slide.


Isobel

I thought it was funny when you missed the train
When I rang you at home they said you'd left yesterday
I thought it was strange when your car was found
By the tree in Ennis where we used to hang around

Dear Isobel, I hope you're well
and what you've done is right
Oh it's been such hell,
I wish you well,
I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming
and long will it last
When it's last day leaving,
and I'm helping it pass
By loving you more.

And who he would become, all the things he'd have done
Would he have loved you and not let you down
And would he be stronger than his father
Don't punish yourself, leave it well alone

Dear Isobel, I hope you're well
and what you've done is right
Oh it's been such hell,
I wish you well,
I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming
and long will it last
When it's last day leaving,
and I'm helping it pass
By loving you more.


I'm No Angel

If you gave me just a coin for every time we say goodbye
Well I'd be rich beyond my dreams, I'm sorry for my weary life

I know I'm not perfect but I can smile
And I hope that you see this heart behind my tired eyes
If you tell me that I can't, I will, I will, I'll try all night
And If I say I'm coming home, I'll probably be out all night

I know I can be afraid but I'm alive
And I hope that you trust this heart behind my tired eyes

I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try and try
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I can't live my life
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I won't fly

I know I'm not around each night
And I know I always think I'm right
I can believe that you might look around

I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try and try
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I can't live my life
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I won't fly.


My Life

What I choose to do is of
no concern to you and your friends
Where I lay my hat
may not be my home,
but I will last on my own

Cos it's me, and my life,
it's my life, it's my life

Oh the world has sat
in the palm of my hand
not that you'd see
And I'm tired and bored
of waiting for you and
all those things you never do

Cos it's me, and my life,
it's my life, it's my life.



Take My Hand

Touch my skin and tell me what your thinking,
Take my hand and show me where we're going
Lie down next to me,
Look into my eyes and tell me,
Oh tell me what you're seeing

So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling,
What you feel now is what I feel for you
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you,
I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you

See my eyes, they carry your reflection,
Watch my lips and hear the words I'm telling you
Give your trust to me and look into my heart and show me,
Show me what you're doing

So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling,
What you feel is what I feel for you
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you,
I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you

Take your time, if I'm lying to you,
I know you'll find that you believe me, you believe me
Feel the sun on your face and tell me what you're thinking
Catch the snow on your tongue and show me how it tastes

Take my hand and if I'm lying to you,
I'll always be alone, If I'm lying to you
Take your time and if I'm lying to you,
I know you'll find that you believe me,
you believe me

Postcards

My love has gone
His boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn and as I slept, I felt him go

New York, New York, temperature's droppin'
The band's out shoppin', not stoppin' 'til ears pop
Cops protect shops, lots of yellow cabs and bellhops
And it never stops

I'm waitin' to do an interview, so much to tell you
Today I feel close enough to smell you
Additional dates they were plannin' just fell through
Florida's out, we fly September 22 to Heathrow
So there's not really long to go
Tonight will be a brilliant show
Lettin' you know I miss you
More than four hits the floor at a party
Send my love to everybody
Please, send my love to everybody (everybody everybody everybody...)
Send my love to everybody (everybody everybody everybody...

Honey, I'm writin' from D.C., feelin' queasy
Stayin' healthy on the road isn't easy
The TM recommend Sanatogen
Not one of them could resist takin' the piss
I miss you like a lock in the door what's more
I go to sleep with my Walkman 'cos half the crew snore
Don't mean to be a bore, everybody's been great
But there's fifteen of us in a bus state-to-state
So I stay up late with a tape or meditate
My bed is travellin' at fifty-five mph
When we make it to L.A., I'll still be miles away
It's not my best day I'm gonna get some rest
God bless

My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone (has has has ...)
(wo wo)

We just stopped a diner so I'm takin' time
To write a few lines. I'm fine, sun shinin'
Bus driver's reclinin' on the grass as the trucks pass
Gleamin' with a flash of sunlight from the glass
On the windscreen. As for us there's too much to relate
We've done five gigs but we're only in our third state
America's big! You'd love how they pile up your plate
Only place in the world even I could gain weight
Our next date is Wilmington, Delaware, Open air
There's a rumor Melle Mel'll be there
Anyway, all the best, God bless I'm yawning
I really miss watching you get dressed in the morning

My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
No earthly ships will ever
Bring him home

Worthless

I know what you came for
And I know when you'll leave
You came for my heart
And it's lost to me
For I won't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more
I know why you're leaving
And I'll just let it be
I am left with nothing
And now you're lost to me
For I can't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more

I know why you're waiting
Give me time breathe
Before you take my heart now
And just get up and leave
For I won't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more

For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a part of us
You know it's worthless
As worthless can be

For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a part of us
You know it's worthless
As worthless can be






Flowerstand Man

I know what you came for
And I know when you'll leave
You came for my heart
And it's lost to me
For I won't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more
I know why you're leaving
And I'll just let it be
I am left with nothing
And now you're lost to me
For I can't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more

I know why you're waiting
Give me time breathe
Before you take my heart now
And just get up and leave
For I won't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more

For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a part of us
You know it's worthless
As worthless can be

For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a part of us
You know it's worthless
As worthless can be





Afraid To Sleep

We slept in this room together, but now you're gone
It's so quiet I'll turn the TV on
We lived in this room together, we painted the walls
Now time doesn't stand still, it crawls

And I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
And dreams are always deep on the pillow where I'll weep.
I never realized how much I was in love with you
Till you started sleeping with someone new
Last night I dreamed again and you were there
You kissed my face, you touched my hair

And I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
And dreams are always deep on the pillow where I'll weep.

Lyin' alone in the darkness with a memory in my head,
There's a big hole where my heart is
And a lonely feeling rolling 'round my bed

And I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
And dreams are always deep on the pillow where I'll weep.
On the pillow where I'll weep.

I'm afraid to sleep.





Don't Leave Home

Like a ghost I'll need a key, I've come to thee
And please don't think of getting up for me
You don't even need to speak
When I've been here for just one day
You'll already miss me if I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends anymore
Oh, don't leave home
Oh, don't leave home

And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
And if you're alone just hold on
'Cos I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home

And I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker, weaker still
Now all your love you give to me when your heart is all I'll need
Oh, don't leave home
Oh, don't leave home

And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
And if you're alone just hold on
'Cos I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home

Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear, everything is new
So you won't be leaving with..the dew...

And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
And if you're alone just hold on
'Cos I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home

Because I will be your safety
I will be your safety
I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home






Coming Home

He feels her smile when he's afraid,
it reminds him of his life before she went away
He might crumble, but he'll not fall,
if the memory of his only love can stay that way
Still has his dreams, they will get him through,
till his life means something more than to lose

Cos he's still wondering when she's coming home
and he'll tell her what he's done today
He doesn't want to lose this memory
of the only part of life to him that's safe.
Still hears her key, turn in the door,
disappointment running through him,
she's not coming anymore

He sees his friends, turns on that charm,
but his heart's not in it, doesn't want to move on
He has his dreams they will get him through,
till his life means something more than to lose

Cos he's still wondering when she's coming home
and he'll tell her what he's done today
He doesn't want to lose this memory
of the only part of life to him that's safe.

He's missing out on life,
because he doesn't know how long
to keep her in his mind
His life's been hers too long and
now he's picking up the pieces
just to stay alive

And he's still wondering when she's coming home
and he'll tell her what he's done today
He doesn't want to lose this memory
of the only part of life to him that's safe.
