Anyone
I
can see it in your eyes
You
are still following that same line
It
shouldn't come as a surprise
I
said my love is kind, but not always that kind
And
now it's too late to change fate
But
you can't say that I've not tried
Cuz
you will never be happy
With
this angel of mercy that you've contrived
I
gotta handle you carefully
This
should never have begun
Throw
a light in here
I
can't see your face
You
could be anyone
Try
to be true to a moment
Don't
guard anything you say
Try
to be true to a moment
And
bemoan the day
And
now it's too late to change fate
But
you can't say that I've not tried
Cuz
you will never be happy
With
this angel of mercy that you've contrived
I
gotta handle you carefully
This
should never have begun
Throw
a light in here
I
can't see your face
You
could be anyone
(X2)
Oh,
anyone, anyone
Anyone,
anyone
Basement
Apartment
Well
you live out where the street ends
In
a basement apartment with one of your friends
And
the tap drips all night
Water
torture in the sink
The
furnace is burning but it's still cold, I think
And
I can smell the bleach that they use in the hall
But
it can't clean the dirt off of me
It's
seeping under the door, in across the floor
It's
starting to hurt every time I breathe
Every
time I try to leave
Every
time I breathe
Now
the toaster sticks, the empties are piled
I
haven't been up the stairs in awhile now
I
gotta wash the sheets on my bed
I
gotta watch those things that go unsaid
God,
I wish we'd leave it at this
Every
time I breathe
Every
time I try to leave
Every
time I breathe
And
every evening you open the door, you come down
There's
nothing like watching T.V all night underground
And
no one is watching me slide
Below
street level, barely alive
Now
we live out where the street ends
In
a basement apartment just like our friends
We
always said that we were different
But
you know now that we weren't
Cuz
there's holes in all the bottles and my lungs hurt
Every
time I breathe
Every
time I try to leave
Every
time I breathe
Dogs
and Thunder
A
rifle sits behind her sleeping ear
Echo
on the cold wall
Closest
neighbour couldn't hear
We'd
dug a hole in the fall
So
now it's a frozen burial
And
she's gone just before the new year
Well,
I'm gonna build a cross for her spot between the trees
And
stick it in firm so it won't sway in their breeze
You
and I have trouble making up our half-assed minds
But
she'd seen sixteen years of our kind
And
what's it like when your memories start to freeze?
Oh
and I wonder what it is about dogs and thunder
What
they hear coming over the field
Back
hall shelter
Warm
nights in summer
Shaking
the ground that you lie under
Well
I know you're not here
But
at least you don't feel it anymore
And
I came to see you on the day that it happened
You
said, "Hey sorry, Sar, I gotta go."
And
I was trying to read some sort of reaction
In
something you just can't show
So
I guess it's time I go
Across
the snowy barnyard
Just
past the driving shed
Shadow
of me in the moon
I
was in a movie in my head
This
pile of dirt on the ground will sink when nobody's around
Winter
covers everything, but everything's not dead
Oh
and I wonder what it is about dogs and thunder
What
they hear coming over the field
Back
hall shelter
Warm
nights in summer
Shaking
the ground that you lie under
Well
I know you're not here
But
at least you don't feel it anymore
Well
I know you're not here
But
at least you don't feel it anymore
Well
I know you're not here
But
at least you don't fear it anymore
Don't
Let it Bring You Down
Old
man lying by the side of the road
With
the lorries rolling by
Blue
moon sinking with the weight of the load
And
the buildings scrape the sky
Cold
wind ripping through the alley at dawn
And
the morning paper flies
There's
a dead man lying by the side of the road
With
the daylight in his eyes
Don't
let it bring you down
It's
only castles burning
Find
someone who's turning
And
you will come around
There's
a blind man running with the light of the night
And
the answer in his hand
Come
on down to the river of sight
Where
you can really understand
Red
lights flashing through the window in the rain
Can
you hear the siren moan?
There's
a dead man lying in the side of the road
If
you're walking home alone
Don't
let it bring you down
It's
only castles burning
Find
someone who's turning
And
you will come around
(X4)
The
Room With The Sir John A. View
I
heard you play guitar
You
got pedals around your feet like rocks around a fire
I
don't know if we'll meet, I don't know who you are
You're
just a traveled ghost that I admire from afar
Under
the houselights
Me
and you and the last bit of our pints
Well,
I could carry a case or two up a couple of flights
The
room with the Sir John A. view opens up to the night
Here
I'm caught alive in this trap
I'm
still breathing, it's just a leg hold
Are
you an escape out of this?
Take
me back to the place that I miss
Cuz
this is a waste of money, that's all this is
It's
a low-lying ache, like homesickness
When
you're desperate for something that you know exists
And
I saw it in your grin
And
I wish it had never been
Cuz
I don't want to hear about something that could be but never is
And
here I'm caught alive in this trap
I'm
still breathing, it's just a leg hold
Are
you an escape out of this?
Take
me back to the place that I miss
This
is a waste of money
That's
all this is
What
does it mean not to say?
Could
you be like it was just yesterday?
And
I, well, I don't want it now cuz it's in the way
Well,
I heard you play guitar
You
got pedals around your feet like rocks around a fire
I
don't know if we'll meet, I don't know who you are
I'm
in the room with the Sir John A. view
Just
down the street from the bar
Here
I'm caught alive in this trap
I'm
still breathing, it's just a leg hold
Are
you an escape out of this?
Take
me back to the place that I miss
This
is a waste of money
That's
all this is
That's
all this is
Westray
A
natural disaster comes out wasn't natural after all
In
some small town on the east coast, well they've gathered in a firehall
And
who forgot to let the canary out?
Will
you be there when they're pulling bodies out?
There
are strange things done under the gun by the men who moil for coal
Eastern
gales of howled out tales that would make your blood run cold
Lighthouse
eyes watch us spies and they put a word out on me
That
night you and I got lost on the drive up the coast of the
Northumberland Sea
You'll
know in a little while if this was meant to be
Are
you afraid of you? Are you afraid of me?
Now
there wasn't a breath in the land of death and I hurried, horror
driven
Was
it something I said, somewhere in her head?
I
just asked for the answers given
20
minutes up the road, just off the great highway
I
won't be around here for long, I did not come to stay
You'll
know in a little while if this was meant to be
Are
you afraid of you? Are you afraid of me?
And
one year later it has yet to come clear
No
one's doing anything cuz they're scared of the way that they might
appear
They're
ignoring all the signals they could not afford to hear
Private
investors in public fear
My
hopes exceed my expectations
My
hopes exceed my expectations
You'll
know in a little while if this was meant to be
Are
you afraid of you? Are you afraid of me?
You'll
know in a little while if this was meant to be
Are
you afraid of you?
King
Lion
What
if you and I were to go swimming in the afternoon and all the while
pretend
We
could put two dollars in the can for some trusting soul and her
roadside stand
Get
some flowers for the den
We
used to play in the back hall but now it's anywhere at all
And
you ask me everyday
Knocking
on the cabin door
In
my sleep I swear I hear you roar, "Hey, do you want to
play?"
If
I could be King Lion for a day, the hour hand would spin away
But
I don't want draw, everything else is a bore
Why
do we have to stop and wait until tomorrow?
I
will be your sidekick and character in plot lines we can scheme up in
our heads
Settling
our pinecone wars or sailing off to Zulu shores to save Arubiobi's
spread
Lately
to my surprise I'm seeing things with six year old eyes and I like the
view
You
don't even read or write and you still sleep with a night light
But
I take my leads from you
If
I could be King Lion for a day, the hour hand would spin away
But
I don't want draw, everything else is a bore
Why
do we have to stop and wait until tomorrow?
And
you don't know what it is to be...with...
And
you don't know what it is to be...with...
And
you don't know what it is to be...with...
You
don't know what it is to be with you...
What
if you and I were to go swimming in the afternoon and all the while
pretend
We
could put two dollars in the can for some trusting soul and her
roadside stand
Get
some flowers for the den
Lately
to my surprise I'm seeing things with six year old eyes and I like the
view
You
don't even read or write and you still sleep with a night light
But
I take my leads from you
If
I could be King Lion for a day, the hour hand would spin away
But
I don't want draw, everything else is a bore
Why
do we have to stop and wait until tomorrow?
Until
tomorrow
Until
tomorrow
