"For You Only"

"For You Only"


Ready to embrace the day as we both break
When the light stole in it found me wide-awake
Wasted from the sleepless night I wished to touch your hair
Withdraw an empty hand for you're no longer there
In between the silence living is an empty space
Save the ticking of the clock whose hands are sweeping past its face

And I just don't want to be lonely -no no
Night and day
But as I look around me I just feel that way
For you only

I turned my hand to something that would clear my head
But I could not forget the parting words we shared
I opened up my mind to all the pictures I could trace
But I could not recall the contours of your face

And always slipped away before I had the chance to say
If I did something wrong please tell I'd accept the blame

I just don't want to be lonely -Night and day
But as I look around me I just feel that way
For you only

For you're no longer there
For you're no longer there
In between the silence living is an empty space
Save the ticking of the clock whose hands are sweeping past its face

I just don't want to be lonely -Night and day
But as I look around me I just feel that way
For you only

"Getting Into Something"

"Getting Into Something"


I'm getting into something
You got me into something good
Like I knew you would
I'm moving into something
You move me into something easy
And it pleases me
Took me by surprise
I never saw the light
Until you turned it on
You got me into something
God knows I'm hitting on life
And I wonder why the sun ain't shining where you are you know
It's alright baby it ain't over
Oh it's only ours to loose
What is gone well we can't use together
So it's alright baby it ain't over
I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm getting into something
You got me into something wild
And I'm getting high
I'm pulling into something
You pull me into something deeper
Oh it's deeper now
Took me by surprise
I never thought that I would give it out again
You got me into something
God knows I wanna be as close as I'll ever be
Something's getting into me
You know it's alright baby it ain't over
Oh it's only ours to loose
What is gone well we can't use together
So it's alright baby it ain't over
I didn't mean to hurt you
It was nothing
I was dreaming
But I'd rather live believing

The time you got addictive
I was somewhere getting used
When you were self-abusive
I put out and got abused
With you I don't feel the need to qualify my life
Lets get it on before it's gone
Just meet me at the corner cos it's alright

Baby it ain't over
Oh it's only ours to loose
What is gone well we can't use together
So it's alright baby it ain't over
I didn't mean to hurt you
It was nothing
I was dreaming
But I'd rather live believing

"Glorious Love"

"Glorious Love"


Somewhere in the shadows of your eyes
An element that takes me by surprise
Something wants to pull me to my feet
Willing me to go into retreat
But how can I get up and walk away
When ninety-nine percent decides to stay
And watch the other fade to grey
This glorious love will tear us down
When nothing is left to turn around
And giving it all is not enough
For this glorious love

This pleasure never ought to be denied
For this is joy personified
You can talk to me of give and take
When I could take of you for takings sake
But how can I deny what's on my mind
Knowing it to be of my design
Relegated - I resign

This glorious love will tear us down
When nothing is left to turn around
And giving it all is not enough
For this glorious love

"God Give Me Strength"
(originally by Elvis Costello with Burt Bacharach)

"God Give Me Strength"
(originally by Elvis Costello with Burt Bacharach)



Now I have nothing, so God give me strength
'Cause I'm weak in his way
And if I'm strong, I might still break

And I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the air
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out

He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength

I can't hold on to him
God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth

That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength

God, if he'd grant me his indulgence and decline
I might as well wipe him from my memory
Fracture the spell as he becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out
Like a lip print on a shirt
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt
I want him to hurt

Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out

He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength

"Home"

"Home"


Does no one here have any place to go?
Can there be time for such reclining
In your social to and fro
Have you no paramour
No dogs to walk
No early morning shift
That calls you like a whore and
begs you make it swift?
Does no one here have anything to show?
For every hour you devour
In pursuit of letting go
Where is your suckling brood?
Your easy mood
'Kick up the fire and let the
flames break loose'

Home, go home
Your dreams are yours alone'
all buffered nail and whittled heel
like clothes and skin the dance floor peels

Home, go home
The Masquerade is done
from here on in, tomorrow's canned
in each dear disappointed hand

Does no one here have anything to say?
Would it be treasonous to reason with
a heart so young and gay
It is the perfect frock, exquisite locks
and nothing comes to rain on your parade

Home, Go home
Your dreams are yours alone
What care I for your cobbled life
Your talent turn, your status wife
Go Home, Go Home, to valance,
flock and drone
Your lovers writhe like eels inside
Your neighbour's sheets - squealing
Bleating Haste - quick turn
The pyro lives to burn
The pelmet catches, batten hatches
all is gone that no-one snatches

Home, go home and govern you
your own
Make your love and keep it warm
It won't be precious very long
GO HOME

"Hometime"

"Hometime"


Gone is the last stain of ink from the sky
Somebody's talking and won't tell you why
So you ask them to stay when you want them to fly
And you try not to think of tomorrow's goodbye

Hometime hometime
Oh how I long to see a friend of mine
Somewhere he's still waiting
Somewhere his heart's saying
She will be coming for me
She'll be coming for me

Hometime hometime
I'll know his name and he'll remember mine
Let him be just for me
Let him be poetry
Wait for me patiently
Wait for me

Hometime hometime
Oh how I long to see a friend of mine
Somewhere he's still waiting
Watching the door for his "she"
To be calling…it's me
And this morning is free

"Honey For The Bees"

"Honey For The Bees"


Hey!
Here I am
And I want you to see baby
I wanna watch you watchin me in motion
To taste the secret side of me
Every time I look at you, I know
You're fighting your emotions
Now you have no choice but to let go
And dive into my ocean

Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweeeeet
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet
Yeah

Hold my hand
I'm going to set you free baby
I'm gonna let fly all over me
Show me a lock, I'll show you the key
Every time you feel like holding back
I'm gonna pull you deeper
Always straying from the beaten track
And I will be the reaper

Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweeeeet
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet
Yeah

Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweeeeet
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet

Yeah

Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweeeeet
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet
Yeah

"Hoodoo"

"Hoodoo"


Well now everyone says you've got a heart of gold
Huh! Yeah it's one of those things being brought and sold
Now it's back on the market I've been told
Hoodoo, you
Well I rue the day I ever saw your face
(Thank you God for the day I saw his face)
Even more the day I opened up my place
You can go and park your car in space
Hoodoo you. Hoodoo
Who do? Who do you Hoodoo too?

Save it for your mother
Save it for the judge
Save it for your brother who can never ever get enough
Share it with your neighbours
Share it with your friends
Hand it out if you're ever in doubt
But here is where your credit ends
Who do? Who do you Hoodoo too?

Well now look at all the candles on your wall
Set a little flame to one and all
Burn them out it's fine to fall
Hoodoo, you
And now don't I just know what you're coming for
(The sweetest thing without a d-dou-doubt)
Ain't just for banging on my door
(She don't know what its all a-b-bou-bout)
Well I ain't hungry anymore
Hoodoo you. Hoodoo. Who do? Who do you Hoodoo too?

Save it for your mother
Save it for the judge
Save it for your brother who can never ever get enough
Share it with your neighbours
Share it with your friends
Hand it out if you're ever in doubt
But here is where your credit ends
Who do? Who do you Hoodoo too?

"Horizon Flame"

"Horizon Flame"


Suddenly the landscape has changed
Horizon Flame
In the stream, what is square?
Would you put the lights out? Dead
Look at all the lights out there
Could have been enough for you
Living like we needed to
Would have been enough left for you

[Chorus:]
You can be the sire
You were never plain
Go and paint that sign
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain

In the stars, what is care?
Would you keep the sound down? Dead
Look at all the stars out there
Could have been enough for you
Talking as we needed to
Would have been enough left for you

[Chorus:]
You can be the sire
You were never plain
Go and paint that sign
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain

You can be the sire
You were never plain
Go and paint that sign
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain

"If You Don't Come Back To Me"

"If You Don't Come Back To Me"


If you don't come back to me
You'll have saved me goodbyes
My escape would be neat
I won't lose a minute's sleep
Recovering what we made and meant not to keep
Life is Sweet
Can it fail to astound me
How it surrounds me
And I won't steal to breathe
If you never came back to me

If you don't come back to me
I won't measure by you every man that I see
When next by chance we meet
I'll pass you by and not care if you're watching me
Life is Sweet
How it spins me around
Something's lost, something's found
And I won't hit the ground
If you never came back to me

Can it fail to astound me
How it surrounds me
And I won't steal to breathe
If you never came back to me
