| First topic message reminder :
"Take Me Out"
So if you're lonely You know I'm here waiting for you I'm just a crosshair I'm just a shot away from you And if you leave here You leave me broken, shattered, I lie I'm just a crosshair I'm just a shot, then we can die
I know I won't be leaving here with you
I say don't you know You say you don't know I say... take me out!
I say you don't show Don't move, time is slow I say... take me out!
I say you don't know You say you don't know I say... take me out!
If I move this could die If eyes move this could die I want you...to take me out!
I know I won't be leaving here (with you) I know I won't be leaving here I know I won't be leaving here (with you) I know I won't be leaving here with you
I say don't you know? You say you don't know I say take me out
If I wane, this can die If I wane, this can die I want you to take me out
If I move, this could die If eyes move, this could die Come on, take me out
I know I won't be leaving here I know I won't be leaving here I know I won't be leaving here I know I won't be leaving here with you

| "Send Him Away"
I can't seem to feel the envy I should feel Or maybe I don't need the sour side of love Of love
No, I don't care his breath is in your hair Well, I don't care his skin is still between Still on fold of your sheets Send him away
I don't mean to claim or own you Or maybe I would like to But I need whatever side of love Is there
No, I don't care his breath is in your hair Well, I don't care his skin is still between Still on fold of your sheets Send him away
Oh, can't you let me stay tonight? Oh, can't you let me stay tonight? Oh, can't you let me stay tonight? Can't you let me stay tonight?

| "Twilight Omens"
I wrote your name upon the back of my hands Slept upon it and I woke up with it Backwards on my face Reading forwards to my mirror To my heart
Twilight omens in my life Then I hear your name Hear the way you sing your name, baby Should I give you a call And I say: Baby, you still feel the same.
I typed your number into my calculator Where it's spelled as your word When you turn it upside down You can turn my dirty world The bright way round
Twilight omens in my life Then I hear your name Hear the way you sing your name Should give you a call And I say: Oh, maybe I still feel the same. Twilight omens in my life Keep hearing your name Keep hearing your name Keep hearing your name Keep hearing you sing your name

Bite Hard. well its a broken smile, Breaking their hearts and breaking their minds. Bite Hard. A survival guide, Edges and lines and we ride together, Bite Hard.
We ride together, We ride together, We die together.
Bite hard. ah Bite hard. ah Bite hard. woaaaaaaah

Bite Hard. well its a broken smile, Breaking their hearts and breaking their minds. Bite Hard. A survival guide, Edges and lines and we ride together, We ride together, We die together.

| "Lucid Dreams"
Sweep slides on my stereo Short wave ride my rodeo Became from that of Savalon But I'm flyin' to Istanbul Oh, so why don't you meet me there?
There is no nation of you, there is no nation of me Our only nation lives in lucid dreams Lucid dreams, I'm livin' in lucid dreams I'm livin' on shortwave streams tonight
Well, I'll dial Alexandria If you dial into Ithaca South Fisher, German bite I skate on the world tonight Oh, so why don't you come along?
There is no nation of you, there is no nation of me Our only nation lives in lucid dreams Lucid dreams, I'm livin' in lucid dreams I'm livin' on shortwave streams tonight
I'm gonna give my aimless love My angry heart, my desire I woke with wings from lucid dreams I knew the reason I felt hollow Was it I may never know If there is some great truth or not
There is no nation of you, there is no nation of me Our only nation lives in lucid dreams Lucid dreams, I'm livin' in lucid dreams I'm livin' on shortwave streams tonight
Lucid dreams, I'm livin' on lucid dreams Now there is just plain mystery

Katherine, kiss me Slip your little lips Will split me Split me away Your eye won't hit me Yes, I love you, I mean it I'd love to get to know you
Sometimes I say the stupid things I think I mean I Sometimes I think the stupidest things Mmmmmm And do you ever wonder How the boy feels
Katherine, kiss me Flick your cigarette, then kiss me Flick your eyes at mine so briefly Your leather jacket lies In sticky pools of Cider Blackberry You glance and ricochet From every alpha male behind me Eyes Like marbles on a washing machine
Mmmmm I wonder How the boy feels
Katherine , kiss me In the alleyway By .... Jacket in the sodium light Yes, I love you, I mean I Need to love
And though your opened eyes stay bored Upon the overflowing pipes above me Tonight I don't mind Because I never wonder How the girl feels

| "Dream Again"
Don't be afraid if you hear voices Or feel the sweet air Spoken upon you Sometimes the sound Of a thousand Whispering words Of Hope will reassure Show me the future Will see u s join together If the oceans split Or the mountains sigh Then I Will keep on dreaming I live to dream again
Don't be afraid if you're descending The deepest despairs Without a handrail to guide you Sometimes the sound Of a thousand Whispering words Can confuse But when you're sleeping They shift and slide together Bring meaning To the canyon's cry So I I keep on dreaming I live to dream again
Sometimes the sound Of a thousand Whispers are where You live a little fear But feel the pressure
I feel us dream together I feel no fear I feel no fire Oh I I keep on dreaming I live to dream again

| "Live Alone"
I want to live alone Because the greatest love Is always ruined by the bickering The argument of living So I want to live alone I could be happy on my own
Live the rest of my life With the vaguest of feeling
Wherever you are Whoever is there You know that I'll be here Wishing I could be there
So I'm going to live alone I'm not saying that out love is the greatest But I'm in love with you Want to stay in love with you So I'm going to live alone Yeah I'll be happy on my own
Live the rest of my life With the vaguest of feeling
Wherever you are Whoever is there You know that I'll be here Wishing I could be there
In NYC when I get in a taxi I say "man" to the driver so He'll think "Man! I can imagine Having a drink with that guy" "He's alright"
Wherever you are Whoever is there You know that I'll be here Wishing I could be there

| "Jackie Jackson"
Well, Jackie Jackson was a greedy boy That's right, he liked to stuff his face The thing that gave that boy the greatest joy Was eating far too many cakes
And he ate one, two, three, four But Jackie wanted more Five, six, seven, eight Jackie had another plate and by the time he got to twenty Anybody woulda thought that he'd had plenty
But he had another eight which Which makes it twenty-eight So when he got to twenty-eight He stopped.
He stopped eating cakes but only because he'd run out of cakes
But Jackie Jackson was a greedy boy Yes, he said, "I've not had enough I think that I could eat a THOUSAND cakes Then I could eat a thousand more Because Because I love the taste of tasty cakes I think I'll find myself some MORE!"
And he did He went down to the local shop where there were LOADS of cakes LOADS of cakes
So he ate one, two, three, four, five and six Well, Jackie was a little bit sick And didn't stop when he got to eight And said, "I love the taste of cakes! I love the taste of cakes, that's right I'll eat all day and I'll eat all night" And one, two, three, four Jackie had a little bit more At seventeen he said, "I need to eat until the shop is clean And cakes, and all the cakes pass through my mouth, I munch up a banana I munched up cakes into my large expanding gut My large expanding gut."
And he did, he ate 32 cakes in that shop and Ah, he'd already eaten 28 cakes 28 and 32, that means he'd eaten 60 cakes. And, well, do you think that Jackie Jackson's had eaten enough cakes?
Well, Jackie was a greedy boy He said, "I'll never have enough!" He ate 10, 20, 30, 40 Jackie said he'd never thought he'd Get to eat so many tasty cakes and ate another 80 Jackie gave a little moan His stomach gave a little groan Jackie yelled and cried, "Oh no! I think my belly's overloaded! My belly's overloaded! My belly's overloaded! My belly's overloaded! My belly's overloaded!" BANG!
Jackie exploded. He'd eaten over 200! 200! 200 cakes. He'd eaten 200 cakes and Jackie Jackson?
Well, Jackie was dead.

That's how it starts We go back to your house You check the charts And start to figure it out
And if it's crowded, then all the better because we know we're gonna be up late But if you're worried about the weather then you picked the wrong place to stay
You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan and the next five years trying to be with your friends again You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can yeah, I know it gets tired, but where are your friends tonight Where are your friends tonight
And so it starts You switch the engine on We set controls for the heart of the sun one of the ways we show our age
And if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up and if the sun comes up and I still don't wanna stagger home Then it's the memory of our betters that's keeping us on our feet
You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan and the next five years trying to be with your friends again You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can yeah, I know it gets tired, but where are your friends tonight Where are your friends tonight where are your friends tonight where are your friends tonight where are your friends tonight where are your friends tonight where are your friends tonight where are your friends tonight
It comes apart the way it does in bad films Except in parts when the moral kicks in
Though when we're running out of the drugs and the conversation's winding away I wouldn't trade one stupid decision for another five years of life

| "The Lobster Quadrille"
"Will you walk a little faster?" Said a whiting to a snail, "There's a porpoise close behind us, And he's treading on my tail. See how eagerly the lobsters And the turtles all advance! They are waiting on the shingle - Will you come and join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, Won't you, will you join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, Won't you, won't you join the dance?"
"You can really have notion How delightful it will be When they take us up and throw us, With the lobsters, out to sea!" But the snail replied, "Too far, too far!" And gave a look askance - Said he thanked the whiting kindly, But he would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, Could not, would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, Could not, could not join the dance.
"What matters it how far we go?" His scaly friend replied, "There is another shore, you know, Upon the other side. The further off from England The nearer is to France - Then turn not pale, beloved snail, But come and join the dance."
"Will you, won't you, will you, Won't you, will you join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, Won't you, won't you join the dance?"

Pale blinds drawn all day Nothing to read Nothing to say Blue-ooh
I will sit right down Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And I will sing Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
Don't you wonder sometimes 'Bout sound and vision Aah-Aahh...
Blue, blue, electric blue That's the colour of my room Where I will live Blue-ooh
I will sit right down Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And I will sing Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
Drifting into my solitude Over my head

| "Sorry Angel" (feat. Jane Birkin)
Sorry angel, désolé
I sent you to suicide, lover I wasn't worth the pain Without me, you decided, lover On the voyage of the vain
Sorry angel, désolé
Was it some dark vertigo, lover? Drawing you to pain Drawing you to loneliness, lover The voyage of the vain
Sorry angel, désolé
I tried everything, lover It wasn't worth the strain Fate led us onwards, lover Remorseless in vain
Sorry angel, désolé
I sent you to suicide, lover Opened up the vein So you're an angel, lover Forever

| "Swallow, Smile"
I rise and curse the waking day, curse the grime and curse the stains on the air and on the skin of the bed I'm tied within. Hiding from the twitch and crash, of the mood I hear you hatch. You're the mother growing cold - you're the bath now running old. I can feel the wall between us separate the filthy scene, as I push the door aside - swallow, swallow, swallow, smile.
I wander round the gulf between us, wonder how I came to feel as fragile as a broken bone, as useless - I'm a broken bone. Come on let's fight let's feel alive. Come on let's fight let's feel alive - it's the only feeling I've kept towards you that resembles any passion, any tremble, any word, I'll take and turn it, twist and pissed-on, I'll return it. Give me more, give me, I'll swallow, swallow, swallow, smile
But it's alright, I lie. It's alright, here's another lie. | |
