They Suffocate At Night

They Suffocate At Night

His body loved her
His mind was set on other things
Keep your face out of sight
And your thoughts to yourself
And this went on for several nights
Festering in silence, growing in the dark

And this they saw as love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Oh this they saw as love
Love
So sad to see
To see it slowly die

She met his wishes
He found that he had changed his mind
Now the fit is too tight
And the bedroom too warm
The days are filled with things to do
Night-time lies so hollow and memories betray

Oh memories of love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Love
So sad to see
To see it slowly die

Two years have passed
Two years of emptiness inside
And the grey skies above
Just show how far I went wrong
I wonder if she's living there
The way that I recall
The way I'll always think of you
And when I think of you

I think of love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
You know I think of love
Love
So sad to see
To see it slowly die

I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I need her
I know I don't need her
I need her
Oh
Oh-oh
And when I think of you

I think of love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
You know I think of love
Love
So sad to see
To see it slowly die

I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I need her
I know I don't need her
I need her
Oh
Oh-oh

This House Is Condemned

This House Is Condemned

He's in a room
He sees the floor
He sees the wall
He sees the roof
He sees the door

It's nine thirty-eight
So he goes up to the door
And he finds himself in another room
Identical to the one before
The clock still reads nine thirty-eight
So he goes out of that room
But he finds himself in a parallel room
A mirror image of the one before

He hits the floor
He hits the wall
He hits the door
He hits the door

The clock reads nine thirty-eight
He throws it at the roof
He breaks a hole
He climbs out
He sees the moon
He sees the stars
He sees the sky

The stars are small lightbulbs
Set in a black cardboard dome
He climbs out
He sees the stars, he sees the sky
The stars are small lightbulbs
Set in a black cardboard dome

He hits the floor
He hits the wall
He hits the roof
He hits the dome
He hits the dome

Condemned
This house
This house is
This house is
Is this house
This house
Is this house
Fill in housing form
Buy one clock
Time again
Sort housing papers
Still nine thirty-eight
Two thousand years from now
It will still be ticking
He hits the floor
Wall, roof, door
The clock reads nine thirty-eight
He hits the dome
Door, wall
Space, floor
Time
He sees the moon
He sees the stars
For some romantic reason
Space, dome, door, wall, clockface
Space, time, place, floor, wall, door, roof
This is one small step for mankind
One giant leap for man

Ten
Nine
Eight
Seven
Six
Five
Four
Three
Two
One
Zero

We have lift-off
He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
He sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the Earth
For some romantic reason
He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
He sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the Earth
Space, time, place, condensed
Space, time, place, condemned
This is house is
This house is
This house is
Condemned
This house is
This house is
This house is
Space, dome, door, wall, clockface
Space, time, place, floor, wall, door, roof

He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,

He sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the Earth
Space, time, place, condensed
Space, time, place, condemned
This is house is

Tomorrow Never Lies

Tomorrow Never Lies

Tomorrow never lies so live for today
Don't be afraid of the skeletons of yesterday
Each morning brings you closer to your goal so grab your chance don't let it go
The city streets are littered with the casualties
The could'ves and the should'ves and the would've beens
Don't let this chance slip by
Because tomorrow never lies
Tomorrow never lies if you live tomorrow today
There are those who would shoot you down
Ah

There's always someone wants to shoot you down
But you know they're never gonna be able to shoot you down
If you live tomorrow today
If you live tomorrow today
The night time blazes with all your nightmares come to life
But you can face the danger knowing that your cause is right and leave them all below you
Bleeding as you rise into the night
Because you know tomorrow never lies
No, tomorrow never lies
No, it's never, never gonna lie if you leve tomorrow today
There are those who would shoot you down
Ah

There's always someone who wants to shoot you down
But they're never ever gonna be able to shoot you down
If you live tomorrow today

Cos you, you gotta live tomorrow today
Live it because tomorrow never lies
Tomorrow never lies

Cos you, you gotta live tomorrow today
Live it because tomorrow never lies

Weeds

Weeds

We came across the North Sea with our carriers on our knees
Wound up in some holding camp somewhere outside Leeds.
Because we do not care to fight, my friends - we are the weeds.
Because we got no homes they call us smelly refugees.
Ah. We are weeds, vegetation, dense undergrowth.
Thru' cracks in the pavement: there weeds will grow - the places you don't go.
This cut-price dairy produce that turns our bones to dust.
You want some entertainment?
Go on, shove it up me - if you must.
Make believe you're so turned on by planting trees & shrubs
But you come round to visit us when you fancy booze 'n' drugs.
Ah. We are weeds, vegetation, etc.
If you think it's a crime
We'd like to get you out of your mind.
It's just a matter of time, yeah
We'd like to get you out of your mind.
Gonna cut you down in your prime, yeah
We'd like to get you out of your mind.
For a little time: for all time.
Weed
We'd like to get you out of your mind.
It's just a matter of time, yeah
We'd like to get you out of your mind.
Gonna cut you down in your prime, yeah
We'd like to get you out of your mind.
For a little time: for all time.

What Do You Say?

What Do You Say?

Woke up in the morning
Raised my head still yawning
Well I was in for a surprise
Stumbled to the mirror
Realised in horror
The face that stared back wasn't mine
And it seemed to be so strange
This sudden facial change
What do you say?
What do you say?
I'd say it's quite strange
The way I've changed since yesterday
Went down to the kitchen
Hoping they would listen
But no-one else could see, you see
I could live sans danger
But all night I saw a stranger
A stranger that I knew as me
And now it takes up all my time
This face that is not mine
What do you say?
What do you say?
I'd say it's quite strange
The way I've changed since yesterday
Oh the way I've changed since yesterday
And so I rest my case
I don't want another's face
What do you say?
What do you say?
I'd say it's quite strange
The way I've changed since yesterday
Oh the way I've changed since yesterday
Oh the way I've changed since yesterday
I'd say it's quite strange
The way I've changed since yesterday
Oh the way I've changed since yesterday
And so I rest my case
I don't want another's face
What do you say?
What do you say?
I'd say it's quite strange
The way I've changed since yesterday
Oh the way I've changed since yesterday
Oh the way I've changed since yesterday
Oh the way I've changed since

Whiskey In The Jar

Whiskey In The Jar

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I met Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my wager
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya

Oh ring dum a doo dum a da
Wept for my daddy-o
Wept for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman 'cos you know she treats me easy

Oh ring dum a doo dum a da
Wept for my daddy-o
Wept for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
I lay down on the bed and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, grabbed hold of my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Oh ring dum a doo dum a da
Wept for my daddy-o
Wept for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Now some men like fishin' and some men like a fowlin'
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a rollin'
Me I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah

Oh ring dum a doo dum a da
Wept for my daddy-o
Wept for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Wept for my daddy-o
Wept for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Now some men like fishin' and some men like a fowlin'
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a rollin'
Me I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah

Oh ring dum a doo dum a da
Wept for my daddy-o
Wept for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Hlalalala, lalala.....

Wishful Thinking

Wishful Thinking

When I was with this girl last night
She held me tight; it turned me on
The moon was dark and those clothes were tight
Her perfume strong; it turned me on
Fleeting moments touched in the night
Then so strong but banished by the light
Her presence gone, memories remain
Of how she kissed and turned me on
Now there's this love inside of me
I've got this love
Inside of me

And I still have dull aching pain
Desire to reach and touch you once again
Distractions cannot sate the need
It grows once more, it grows once more
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I have this pain inside of me
Why can't you see?
Why can't you see?

I'm stranded here with no way home
Please rescue me, oh won't you rescue me?
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I have this pain inside of me
Why can't you see?
Why can't you see?

I'm stranded here with no way home
Please rescue me, oh won't you rescue me?
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
