This is the Way

Heavenly Pop Hit

Each evening the sun sets in five billion places,
Seen by ten billion eyes set in five billion faces,
Then they close in a daze and wait for the dawing,
But the daylight and sunrise 
Are brighter in our eyes,
Where night cannot devour golden solar power

Once we were dammned now I guess we are angels
For we passed though the dark and avoided the dangers
Then I awoke with a start to startling changes
All the tension is ended,
The sentance suspended,
And darkenss now sparkles and gleams.

And it all seems larger than life to me
I find it rather hard rather hard to believe.

So I stand as the sound goes straight through my body,
I'm so bloated up, happy, and I throw things around me.
And Im growing in stages, and have been for ages,
Just singing and floating and free.

Dum de dum dum
Its a heavenly pop hit
If anyone wants it.
Dum de dum dum
Its a heavenly pop hit,
Its something that we're humming as 
We swoop low on trees, or we sweep under carpets,
We can dive into suns though its not recommended,
We can hover, silent, and listen, closely...

It all seems, (all seems)
Larger than life to me,
I find it, (find it)
Hard to believe,

So where was our home,
Well, our home was in tears,
For it's fruit has gone bad,
They'd been that way for years
Yet their lives are elsatic,
They should be fantastic,
They should be expanding.

Dum de dum dum
Dum de dum dum
It's a heavenly pop hit,
If anyone wants it.

Dum de dum dum
Dum de dum dum
It's a heavenly pop hit,
For anybody,
For those that still want it.

I Love My Leather Jacket

I wear my leather jacket like a great big hug,
Raidiating charm, a living cloak of luck,
The only concrete link with an absent friend,
A symbol I can wear till we meet again
It's a weight around my neck
While the ....... is free,
Both protector and reminder of mortality,
It occurs I cannot shirk responsibilits
From a teacher turned a pupil it's a give to me.
Cos I love my leather jacket, and I wear it all the time.
I love my leather jacket.

I love my leather jacket, and I wear it all the time.
I love my leather jacket.

I love my leather jacket,
I love my vanished friend.
I love my leather jacket,
I love my vanished friend.

I love my leather jacket. (etc)

Doledrums

Stay in bed much to late
Scanning situatrions vacant
The face in the mirror gets withered and old,
My skin is grey, I cant go on, I'm always cold.

In the doledrums on the dole.
In the doledrums on the dole.

Counting down lonely hours,
Drinking lots and taking showers.
I no longer dream about the rest of my life,
I check the little box, does anyone care.

In the doledrums on the dole.
In the doledrums on the dole.

The benefits arrive and life goes on.
The benefits arrive and life goes on.
(etc)

Double Summer

Dawn draws near, 
Time flies quitely,
Soft warm felt close by,
I lie here quite still,
It's a thrill.

She,
Who sleeps alongside,
A stranger last week,
Is part of my life,
I look at her with just one single sheaf of colour,
Sunlight playes above her,
Will she stay and share some double summer?
Live never tires of great surprises,
Love may have touched us here,
And summers in the air,
Everywhere.

She,
Seems very like me,
The longer we spoke
The more I could see,
If we were to join our forces
And combine resources,
We could share the summer,
And enjoy its deeper secrets,
Life never tires of great suprises,
Love may have touched us here, 
With something we can share

And some sometimes I hear distant thunder,
Troubles bubbling under,
And I start to wonder,
Maybe she will crack my concerns till they scatter like dust?
Not a thing in this world would be stronger than us.
If she said that she'd stay,
I forever would treasure her trust,
For thats enough.

But maybe these are flights of fancy,
When she wakes she'll leave me, 
But then I see her watching -
And she's smiling,
Life has the strangest way of saying:
Love will occur here now.

Here goes, double summer, 
Sharing with one another.
Here goes, double summer, 
Sharing with one another.

Here goes,
Here goes.

Oncoming Day

Over there,
The row of trees
Is merging in with the evening,
And then blackness consumes the forest,
Within there lies a glade,
And a flattened impression of the love that we made

When I was young I used to watch TV,
Now people loved to tell me it's all fantasy
But they made it seem so real,
They made it seem so possible,
Don't ask me to forget them because I wont.

I'll visit the glade and I'll watch TV,
Is sustaining past illusion just fantasy?
When it makes me so much braver,
I can turn to the world and say,
I'm strong enough to face the oncoming day.

Sitting along at night in my dark bedroom
I can explain myself in a song to you
When a weird burning shape from a headlight outside
Slid from the ceiling to behind the piano to hide,
Then extinguished itself on the carpet and died.

The stars mingle inseperably,
With the lights of houses that I've seen
Shadows of the leaves on the walls shiver,
In a vivit twisted frame of grey
From a streetlight outside, its time nearly expired,
To make way for the oncoming day.

Noone,
Noone,
Noone can take your memory away from me.

Some days, 
I say,
Will I give in to the oncoming day?
The oncoming day.
The oncoming day.

I think of words to tell you
I find nothing fine enough to say.
Nothing worth anything,
Nothing worth nothing,
Nothing left in this lump of grey,
That even vaguely says I love you,
In a way that pleases me.
So I'll let the oncoming day say it for me.

And in the days that followed, 
In the back of my mind,
The black skies sunk on distant countries.

Noone,
Noone,
Noone can take your memory away from me.

No way,
No way,
No way will i give in to the oncoming day.
The oncoming day.

Rolling Moon

Wander lost in rolling hills
Blue sky, green grass, we are still
The distant forest ......
Please now will somone tell me

days are light
......
......
Cut your hair
Show us the castle
Show us to their lair
To their lair

The rolling moon walks on by,
We dance until we start to cry,
We've got feverish sweat,
Aching bones,
Please oh god dont take us home.

It's ...... but we get dressed
...... in the west
...... summer long
drank ...... eating buttered scones
.......
I realised,
...... flag far away
far away
far away

The rolling moon walks on by,
We dance until we start to cry,
Weve got feverish sweat,
Aching bones,
Please oh god dont take us home.
Please oh god dont take us home.
Please oh god dont take us home.

I'll Only See You Alone Again

And if I see you
I'll only see you alone again
And if I see you
I'll only see you alone again
And if I see you
Well, I'll only see you alone again

Its all so hazy,
I'm going crazy
So I call you on telephone
Your cell or my home,
And this time
Can we be alone?
Now now now now now now now now

It's    to you,
It's      for me,
Im going crazy just thinking of something to say to you

And if I see you
I'll only see you alone again
And if I see you
I'll only see you alone again
And if I see you
Well, I'll only see you alone again

Its all so hazy,
Im going crazy,
So i call around at your home,
I find that your not alone,
I thought this time,
We could be alone,
Now now now now now now now now

And if I see you
I'll only see you alone again
And if I see you
I'll only see you alone again
And if I see you
Well, I'll only see you alone again
And if I see you
Well, I'll only see you alone again

Its all so hazy,
Its all so hazy, oh.

Never Never Go

...... last one
knowing that ......
...... before
...... saying 1,2,3,4

Never nver go away from me
Seems to happen frequently,
I live in a dread now constantly,
So never never go away from me
Never never go
Away from me.
Never never go,
Away from me,
Please.

Calling her is something I can do,
Knowing that she is hoping too.
Trying to guess what they've had in store,
Running through their lives saying one, two, three, four.

Never never go away from me,
Seems to happen frequently,
I live in a dread of it constantly,
So never never go away from me
Never never go
away from me.
Never never go,
Away from me,
Please.

Never never go.
Never never go.
Never never go.
Never never go.

Wet Blanket

Well I'm not in love with anyone,
But I could fall in love with you.
I have no patience for anyone, anyone, anyone,
But Ive lots of time for you.

Because you're so so so beautiful,
Why aren't you mine?
Because you're so so so beautiful,
Why aren't you mine?
Because you're so so so beautiful,
Why aren't you mine?
Because you're so so so beautiful,
Why aren't you mine?

I've got nothing to say to anyone,
But I'd clear my mind to you.
I've got nothing to say to anyone,
But we can really talk us two.
I've got nothing to say to anyone, anyone, anyone,
Except you,
I love you.

Pink Frost

Want to stop the crying,
Want to stop the crying,
She's lying there dying,
How can I live when you see what I've done?
How can I live when you see what I've done?

What can I do if she dies?
What can I do if she dies?
What can I do if she's lost?
Just the thought fills my heart with pink frost.

Thought I was dreaming,
So I didn't hear you screaming.
I'm so scared.
I'm so scared.
She won't move and I'm holding her head.
She won't move and I'm holding her head.

She's lost.
She's lost.
She's lost.
Pink frost.

I'm really not lying
I'm so scared.
I'll have to stop the crying.
Now she's dead.

What can I do if she dies?
What can I do if she dies?
What can I do if she's lost?
Just the thought fills my heart with pink frost.
Oh no...

Kaleidescope World

If we were floating in a space capsule,
I'd look at you,
And perhaps you'll smile at me,
Loving my kaleidescope world.

The stars and planets just glide on by,
...... like a white gods eyes,
We smiled a lot,
Loving our kaleidescope world.

It gets a bit cold so we turn on the heater,
Things break but that makes it neater,
We'll never die,
In our kaleidescope world.

Come along baby we'll live in my kaleidescope world.
Come along baby we'll live in my kaleidescope world.

We go for a swim in the deep of space,
A thousand colours reflect off your face,
The stars surround us as we sail on
Through our kaleidescope world.

Don't need a ....... I can see miles,
Got a stereo and electric guitars,
The sounds we make,
Echo on through our kaleidescope world,
Like this.

We were flaoting in a space capsule,
I look at you, 
And perhaps you smile at me,
Loving our kaleidescope world.

Come along baby we'll live in my kaleidescope world.
(etc)

Look For the Good in Others

I used to be in Love, a ..... since ......
And we used to be one living thing but now were back to two
I was blue for a while but I know it's true,
Look for the good in others and they'll see the good in you
.......

I used to look for too much in the people that we are
You know we used to have a reason for doing things the way we do,
Sorrow is my reward, cause I'm unhappy with me too,
Now I've learnt that I am me, and me is not the same as you.
.......

Last week just for a while, I thought I'd found someone at last,
The woman in my future was a child from my past,
That was cruel of fate to give me hope for the first time in two years,
Now I've learnt just who my friends are, and noone really cares.
.......

Drain away my loving soul and fill me with despair.
The dreams they all seemed pointless and a ....... coming there.
Through all this still one thing, sometimes sets me free,
You know its good to be an adult, and believe the child in me.
.......

House with a Hundred Rooms

Thunder, warm winds blow,
They'll never know the pain that we should know,
And ...... summer day where the leaves let go

But the standing still in twilight gloom,
By my house with a hundred rooms, 
The lights all form the likeness of you.

'Cause somewhere along the way,
The strength of the sunlight waned
Waves that help us demonstrate

But these corridors and times with you,
In my house with a hundred rooms,
And breathing space for me and you.

Cartwheels through the hall, 
Swimming and pouring our .......
It was tuned to death and given springtime .......

The melting down and talk with you,
In my house with a hundred rooms.
Converse the way we used to.
.......
But the humour has never ......
And the ...... doing well too.

Part Past Part Fiction

Sitting in a foriegn setting,
Bands in backgrounds always play
Their phoney lonely cacaphony,
It didnt have to be this way

Some place alone,
And noone known,
So far from home here.

I really didnt choose to leave you,
To tear myself away so long,
To travel and unravel all the fabric we'd sewn,
So now somethings wrong,
And the world we used to know has gone,

Some place alone,
And noone known,
So far from home here.

Years an awkward confrontation,
I'd like to set your mind at ease,
I'm stuck here in these muddled ages,
I find the words won't please.

Where could we dwell
Within our past alive and well
Escape from all thats hard to bear
To where the child as you were creeps near, without fear
Scary things arent always clear
To hide a in fiction and nostalgia can be eerie too
You cannot drive and stare rearview.

Someplace alone,
And noone known,
So far from home, here.

Male Monster From the Id

Theres a part of me
That's in disgiuse
Though I fight to see
It wont arise
I avoid your eyes, denying 
Something dark and primal surviving

I have another side
I try to hide
It can not escape,
For if it tries
I have an fence raised around it
For I chose to keep it surrounded.



Everyone has some off days
When we make bad descisions,
Each man ive seen has some
Animal behaviourisms,
Some can conceal better,
The male monster from the id got out
Destroyed his cage
Saying thoughtless things
With mindless rage
And
With his charms hes so hard to see through

        always
Wanna keep my caveman hidden
Everyone has some off days
When we make bad descisions
Each man I've seen has some
Animal behaviourisms.
Some can conceal better,
The male monster from the id.
The male monster from the id.

I hit you, I'm sorry,
And I promise I wont do it again,
And Im       all my errors,
I really am.

Tried my best to hide
With lies and lies
It'd take a superman
to supervise
but imagine all the damage
that the id 
if the    planet survives

I'm not like that every day,
I'm not normally that way.
You need convincing I can tell
I dont say this very well.

Im sorry I hit you,
And I promise I wont do it again,
Im    all my errors,
I really am.

The male monster from the id,
The male monster from the id,
The male monster from the id,
The male monster from the id.

This is the Way

This is the way.
This is the only way for me.

Fill your head with alcahol,
comic books and drugs.

This is the way.
The way.
The way.

Tell the world your problems 
You've forsaken all you lives.
Surely someone cares for you,
Someone you wont despise.

This is the way
The way 
The way.

This is the way.

This is the way.
