Roadkill

Roadkill

The feel of my arm around your waist, the pale blue nightdress that you wore.
Your hair in braids, your sailor top: the things I don't see anymore.
You lost your suitcase in my hotel room, a subway token from your Ma.
The sun reflecting off the water on your face & the way you drove your car.
All these things I can't forget tho' I don't see you anymore.

Drove to the airport thru' a traffic jam; a deer lay dying in the road.
Maybe I should have seen it as some kind of sign, except I don't believe in them no more.
No, no - but I believe these things I can't forget, tho' I don't see you anymore.
Yes, I believe these things I can't forget, 'cos I see them - tho' I don't see you anymore

Separations

Separations

As the sun shines down on the land,
So her heart is crying for love.
And there is no-one there,
No-one to hear her voice.
And she will sleep alone again tonight.
Now the moon is high in the sky.
In her room she calls out his name.
But he is somewhere else,
Somewhere she cannot see.
Oh, and the night is dark between them now,
"My god, my God, why did he go away?"
Now the sun shines on a new town.
With a smile he gets off the train.
He lights a cigarette,
Leans back to see the sky.
Oh and he thinks how much better off he is,
Without her hanging round.
Let's do it.

And the day is passing by him,
And he has nowhere to stay.
At a lonely bar-room table,
His mind goes back to yesterday,
To the girl who's dead and buried,
But her face lives in his eyes.
He must forget that face forever.
Make the future start tonight.
But the meal he eats is dead flesh.
There is cancer in his cigarettes.
And the drinks won't do a thing for him,
But revive some stupid memories.
Then a hairstyle that reminds him,
Makes him run into the night,
Where the moon hangs high above him now,
The same moon that she's praying on tonight.
But the wind catches her words.
And the moon swallows them whole.
Now the moon is high in the sky.
In her room she calls out his name.
The night is cold and dark, and she is all alone.
The bed is empty now.

Her body screams for love.
She wants to be with him.
Oh but he's so far away.
Oh and the night is dark between them now
But revive some stupid memories.
Then a hairstyle that reminds him,
Makes him run into the night,
Where the moon hangs high above him now,
The same moon that she's praying on tonight.
But the wind catches her words.
And the moon swallows them whole.
Now the moon is high in the sky.
In her room she calls out his name.
The night is cold and dark, and she is all alone.
The bed is empty now.

Her body screams for love.
She wants to be with him.
Oh but he's so far away.
Oh and the night is dark between them now
"My God, my God, why did he go away?"

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Pelvis

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Pelvis

(save me from my own hand)
Oooohhh, set the controls for the heart of the pelvis
Havent you heard my name rhymes with elvis
And one thing I know is this
That your mouth is telling me to give you
A big kiss
(now my guards down)

(save me from my own hand)
Ahhhh, cant you see whats an offer
Yeah babe its going cheap today
I enter a room and all the girls say
Cmon jarv, can I be the first?
Oh you make us so hot we feel were gonna burst
(now my guards down)
Oh yeah...
So please, so please
Dont leave me alone in this double bed
It smells of damp towels and asthma inhalers
Say youre gonna call back later
Save me from these glossy photographs
Save me from my mothers laugh
Save me
(now my guards down)
Thats right girls
Thats right girls
Save me from my own hand
Do you know how much
I want you?
Say youre gonna call back later
Save me from these glossy photographs
Save me from my mothers laugh
Save me
(now my guards down)
Thats right girls
Thats right girls
Save me from my own hand
Do you know how much
I want you?
Dont stop

Silence

Silence

At first I could say
I could say or do
Just whatever I liked
You would
You would not
You would not answer
That's alright
Oh

I can't believe in the morning of your silence
You will never cut
You will never cut the threads of your reliance
You can
You can deny
You can deny that I was anything to you
But I know
I know in my mind
I can see the scars
The scars I've left on you
I can't believe in the morning of your silence
You will never cut
You will never cut the threads of your reliance
When we are passed in the street
You can try and cover it up with whatever you like
Lipstick, mascara, that kind of thing
You won't fool me
You won't fool anyone
They'll take one look at you
And they'll know the kind of person they're dealing with
You can laugh about it
You can pretend that you weren't involved
But you know what went on in that room that night
You know what was said
And you know you'll never forget
I hate the sight of the face I have destroyed through our alliance
I won't forget how loved I once was and how much I loved your eyes
So the bedroom becomes a funeral parlour once again
See the corpse of former feeling laid out stiff and white for all to see
So this is the end
But we'll still be good friends, won't we?
We'll still be good friends, won't we?
We'll still be good friends, won't we?
And they'll know the kind of person they're dealing with
You can laugh about it
You can pretend that you weren't involved
But you know what went on in that room that night
You know what was said
And you know you'll never forget
I hate the sight of the face I have destroyed through our alliance
I won't forget how loved I once was and how much I loved your eyes
So the bedroom becomes a funeral parlour once again
See the corpse of former feeling laid out stiff and white for all to see
So this is the end
But we'll still be good friends, won't we?
We'll still be good friends, won't we?
We'll still be good friends, won't we?
Goodbye

Simultaneous

Simultaneous

Oh, theres a place for you
Youd better stay in it
A place for everything
And of course all you can do is talk about it
Oh, youve got it all
Yes youve got it all
Yes youve got it all
Youve got it all
It let you down
Now it doesnt seem so simple
That dirt gets everywhere
And your mouth wont get you out of it
Standing naked, standing bare
Oh you knew it all
Yes you knew it all
Yes you knew it all
You knew it all
It let you down
Now see it all burning, your contract in ashes,
Your clean-living lovers. your reasonable wishes,
Your time-tabled kisses, your well-rehearsed phrases,
Your separate bedrooms, your forbidden places,
Youre out on the moorland, youre naked and bleeding with no kind of shelter
And no place to hide in, youre screaming for mercy, abandonned,
Forsaken, youre screaming for mercy and then you awaken
La la lala lala lala la...
It let you down
Now see it all burning, your contract in ashes,
Your clean-living lovers. your reasonable wishes,
Your time-tabled kisses, your well-rehearsed phrases,
Your separate bedrooms, your forbidden places,
Youre out on the moorland, youre naked and bleeding with no kind of shelter
And no place to hide in, youre screaming for mercy, abandonned,
Forsaken, youre screaming for mercy and then you awaken
La la lala lala lala la..

Someone Like The Moon

Someone Like The Moon

She likes to watch the moon,
As it travels through the sky,
Cos she's heard that it's romantic,
Though she really can't see why.

Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.

So she drinks a cup of coffee,
And telephones a friend,
And she asks if she can make it,
So this night will never end.

Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.

But the light comes,
And the day bleeds through the sky,
And the sun,
The sun makes it hard to get through,
And the radio only plays love songs so she cries,
Though she knows it's such a bad thing to do.
In the evening it gets better,
And she thinks how it's not right,
That someone so stupid,
Can so easily screw up your life.

Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.

But the light came,
And the day bled through the sky,
And the sun, the sun made it hard to get through,
And the radio only played love songs so she cried,
Though she knew it's such a bad thing to do.
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Someone should have helped her through the day.
Can so easily screw up your life.

Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.

But the light came,
And the day bled through the sky,
And the sun, the sun made it hard to get through,
And the radio only played love songs so she cried,
Though she knew it's such a bad thing to do.
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon

Something Changed

Something Changed

I wrote the song two hours before we met.
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet.
Oh I could have stayed at home and gone to bed.
I could have gone to see a film instead.
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends.
Life could have been very different but then,
Something changed.

Do you believe that there's someone up above?
Does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say.
Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway.
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today.
Something changed.

When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing,
That in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going.
Where would I be now if we'd never met?
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead?
I dunno but like you said
Something changed
Something changed.

Oh is this the way they say the futures meant to feel? or just 20,000

Space

Space

You said you wanted some space
Well is this enough for you?
This is what you've waited for
No dust collecting in the corners
No cups of tea that got cold before you drank them
Tonight
Travelling at the speed of thought
We're going to escape into the stars
It doesn't matter if the lifts are out of order
Or the car won't start
We're rising up
Above the city
Over forests
Over fields
Rivers and lakes
Into the clouds
And up above us
The whole universe is shining a welcome
Did you ever really think this day would happen
After days trying to sell washing-machines on your own?
It looked like we never left the ground
But we're weightless
Floating free
We can go wherever we want
Solar systems
Constellations
Galaxies
I'll race you to the nearest planet
How many times have you wished upon a star?
Now you can touch it
You can touch the stars
Go on
Don't be afraid
"I only wanted some space"
Well is this enough for you?
Is it?
Well the stars are bright
But they don't give out any heat
The planets
Are lumps of rock
Floating in a vacuum
Yeah, space is cold
When you're on your own
I think it's time to go home
Pulling my strings
Like a kite that flew too high
And now it's time to come down
Look out below
Wait `til I get back
You can see something
You can see space
But now I know
It's O.K.
Space is O.K.
But I'd rather
I'd rather get my
I'd rather get my kicks down below
Oh yeah
Come on
Are lumps of rock
Floating in a vacuum
Yeah, space is cold
When you're on your own
I think it's time to go home
Pulling my strings
Like a kite that flew too high
And now it's time to come down
Look out below
Wait `til I get back
You can see something
You can see space
But now I know
It's O.K.
Space is O.K.
But I'd rather
I'd rather get my
I'd rather get my kicks down below
Oh yeah
Come on

Stacks

Stacks

I saw you standing at the stop
In your crochet halter top
And your sky-blue training bra
I know you're gonna go too far
You're driving all the boys insane
Down by the sports hall in the rain
Chewing-gum, a navy dress
A purple shirt and all the rest

Oh there's stacks to do
And there's stacks to see
And there's stacks to touch
And there's stacks to be
So many ways for you to spend your time
Such a lot
But I know
That you've got stacks

I heard you let him touch too much
On the back seat of the bus
Did you stay over at his place?
And did you do it?
Was he ace?
The world is bigger every day
And you've always got something to say
And you've always got somewhere to go
It's getting faster don't you know?

And there's stacks to do
And there's stacks to see
And there's stacks to touch
And there's stacks to be
So many ways for you to spend your time
Such a lot
But I know
That you've got stacks
Oh there's stacks to do
And there's stacks to see
Oh yes stacks to touch
And there's stacks to be
So many ways for you to spend your time
Such a lot
But I know
That you've got
Places to go
And faces to kiss
Boys to confuse and appointments to miss
So many ways for you to spend your time
Such a lot
But I know that you've got
But I know
That you've got stacks
Oh there's stacks to do
And there's stacks to see
Oh yes stacks to touch
And there's stacks to be
So many ways for you to spend your time
Such a lot
But I know
