Lyrics
THE SKY IS MINE
STARGAZING
Hello Eloise – let me in on the secret that you will keep
Your eyes are wise – your eyes are new eyes
Hello Eloise – whisper the places that you have been
Tell me, was the sky blue? Were the stars bright?
Was there sunshine over the daisies?
Champion girl, who’s best in the world at
Stargazing, magic carpets
Hello Eloise. Hello Eloise
Your eyes are wide – your eyes are new eyes
Champion girl, who’s best in the world at
Stargazing, magic carpets
Stargazing, magic carpets
Hello Eloise. Hello Eloise
SURELY
Surely you know what I’ve been dying to say – God knows it’s hard
When you’re not here I can pour out my heart – the words just come
But timing isn’t my best point – I miss the boat
Too scared to spit it out – I keep the lump in my throat
For crying out loud, what’s the worst that can happen?
Maybe I’ll die, maybe my life will begin
But sometimes even the best lines are misconstrued
At times I’m eloquent, though not in front of you
I could keep it so quiet – never tell you my secret
Living a lie – I yell inside
Timing isn’t my best point – I miss the boat
Too scared to spit it out. Kept the lump in my throat
For crying out loud, what’s the worst that can happen?
Maybe I’ll die, maybe my life starts here..
Surely you know what I’ve been dying to say
BROOD
I understand you don’t need to hold my hand
I realise that you have yourself to guide
I sympathise
And bless the day I gave your life to you
And gave you sense and memories
My job is done. I saw you through to where you begin to fly.
Fly - You can fly
The years and the fears were empty long ago
Now my winter’s wait has come
I sympathise
PUSH
Take hold of my doubts and crush them, then give me a reason why
Insecurity gets the best of me, leaves me lying there slowly losing air
Sure they’re not out to get me, they only pretend they are
Fooling nobody, least not all of me. Old friends of mine lost over time
No more room, my head’s full of them. Say the word so it goes again
Push me through
How hard can it be to stop it? I leave myself open wide
Rationality takes a swing at me, leads me from despair – Oh to feel aware
No more words, can’t hear what you say. Stay out there I’m too tired to play
Pull me through
BURN ME AGAIN
Burn me again – turn me round and you can burn me again
Learn in the end – say it slowly so I’ll learn in the end
Bury the pain – hurt me softly and then bury the pain
Soften the rain – feel this storm inside me soften the rain
Nurture me with hope, help me grow from your seed
Feed me with your strength, fill me up with your need
Heaven and hell – keep me safe between this heaven and hell
Know me too well – you’ve hardly touched me yet you know me too well
Treat me with a kiss, heal this aching inside
All the years I’ve lived yet you bring me to life – to life
Burn me again – turn me round and you can burn me again
Soften the rain – feel this storm inside me soften the rain
Burn me again. Burn me again
MAY
Looking at you talking to me – you’re sitting right across the table
You may take my hand in your hands
You may take me home tonight
Drinking with you – sinking in you – I’m swaying through the conversation
You may ask what makes me happy
You may ask for one more dance
Looking at you looking at me
You may want to leave without me..
Drinking slower – sinking faster – your mouth is leaning in towards me
I can’t breathe without you – but I can breathe just with you
You may want to leave without me
You may take me home tonight
You may want to leave without me..
GIVEN TIME
Given time, I’ll be fine
Hold your breath – No, I’ll hold mine
Stay around – stay with me
Soon you’ll see, I’ll be fine
Just a day’s too soon to say
I’ll come round when least expected, find my way
Hold my hand. Understand
I’ll be fine, given time
Hard to say – to give away
Pour your heart into my head again today
Help me down, help me out
Given time, I’ll be fine
FOR THE WAGES
It’s late and it’s loud, got to get away
I’m scared, I’m not proud, of every day
I’m colouring in empty pages
Just giving my time for the wages
I don’t want to, want you ever to see me cry
It was always, always going to be goodbye
I didn’t think twice when you kissed me, once
Immune to advice, hearing foreign tongues
You lifted my life from the madness
A sweet golden light out of sadness
I don’t want to, want you ever to see me cry
‘Cause it was always, always going to be goodbye
You’re not aloud to see – you had the best of me – it doesn’t matter now
I didn’t give a damn, ‘cause life is all a sham – I’m always wrong somehow
I don’t want to, want you ever to see me cry
It was always, always going to be goodbye
I don’t want to, want you ever to see me cry
It was always, always going to be goodbye
HOME
Inside I knew the passing of time would lead to you
Impossible, yet tangible, an ancient dream comes true
Happy since confessing your affect on me
You are my song – you’re my appetite
You lift me higher than any satellite
And I’m just still astounded
I didn’t know there was perfection
I tried to lose the quest for home
Then I found you
Anyhow, I broke the spell, was swept away on the swell
Sail for home
Inside I knew – home is you
STUMBLED
I can’t change what I’ve done. It’s luck, it’s fate – I just don’t go there
Took me since I was young; accept, embrace, I’m on my way here
Over and over and over I stumbled, following paths that were heavy with dreams
Over and over I’m humbled – these are the paths that have led me right here
I don’t have regrets – it’s all made me me
I’m placing my bets on having you hear
I’m home, my love, home
I can’t change what I’ve done. It’s luck, it’s fate – I just don’t go there
Took me since I was young; accept, embrace, I’m on my way here
Over and over and over I stumbled, following paths that were heavy with dreams
Over and over and over I’m humbled – these are the paths that have led me right here
But I don’t have regrets - it’s all made me me
I’m placing my bets on just having you near
I don’t have regrets, oh no
SILVER BULLET
Was that smile meant for me? Are my eyes too tired to see?
Terrified and paralysed. Mesmerised and hypnotised
Why d’you have to sit so near? What’s this ringing in my ears?
Knowingly and willingly. Silently and tenderly
How can I eat when my mouth screams to touch you?
Tortured in sleep, dreams content to explore you
Were you only being kind, when I brushed your lips with mine?
Longing now to touch your skin, ashamed of my imagining
Circling around, senses only betray me
Heady as wine, eyes that intoxicate me
I suppose it’s just the situation. Too confined to my imagination
But… somewhere
Was that smile meant for me? Are my eyes too tired?
Terrified and paralysed. Mesmerised and hypnotised
A LITTLE POISON
A little poison numbs the senses. Slows the flow – slow the flow
Nothing simpler – see it’s easy. Bring it on – bring it on
I’ll show you all – I’ll prove you wrong – in a while
It’s peculiar. Doesn’t hurt me anymore – anymore
And I’ll show you all. I’ll prove you wrong – in a while – in a while
Watch me fly – heights don’t scare me. The sky is mine – you won’t stop me
A little poison numbs the senses. Send them in – send them in
Yes I’ll show you all, and prove you wrong – in a while – in a while
Watch me fly – heights don’t scare me. The sky is mine – you won’t stop me
As I show you all, and prove you wrong – in a while – in a while…
STARGAZING
ONCE AROUND TOWN
it isn’t easy having fun when you’re away so long
it’s the same face every night under the bathroom light
time to get dressed, and fast, checking for keys and cash. close the door
head for the city letting the taxi cab find the way. find your way
and when the evening’s underway, everyone feels ok
watch my timing with champagne and blissfully feel no pain
i catch a silhouette. i feel a smile, like you found your way. found your way
and time’s come into play. you found your way
and time’s come into play.
hurry up baby. hurry up come to me
it’s like you found your way
time’s come into play I thought you found your way
hurry up baby. found your way
LIPSTICK FROM THE ASYLUM
when i cant look
the other way
there’s only you
to wonder
and on hard times
a doorway leans on days
as though im needing you
and some have helped me become older
i suggest you’re using me
after moving on
im really sorry lost time wont wait
you always took so long
im leaving now
all your praising me
turned tides all over mine
are you erasing me
lipstick from the asylum goes on
something that has stolen us
always some
something that has stolen us
always some
i put it on you and me and now
i hate it all you and me
A PERFECT END
i can’t believe you’re here
did you know you found me alone
if i could count the years
i end and you begin
i share you’re dreams
it’s like i see for two people
did i give up on mine
you could do much better
i can’t believe you’re here
or i’ll fall much further than this
the terror lies in us but tells the truth in me
it’s out of my hands, it’s out of my hands
can i break the mood if there’s nothing left to break
but what of night and day
we never need more
it’s such a perfect end
a constant when i dissolve
there’s nothing left to hold
i can’t believe you’re here
i came home with nothing left to hold
ELVIS
look into the dark night
i’m dancing in the shadows with you
there’s a world waiting out there for us to see
and beneath the starlit blanket
dreams are made of solid gold
i just wanna be the one to hold you there
when you’re cold
with so many pictures on the walls
of five billion minds
we just need to take them out sometime
y’know and start living the good times
decent dreams and pictures make you airborne
when you close you’re eyes
that’s why i wanna fly with you tonight
noone else, noone else can make the flight like you
that’s why i wanna fly with you tonight
and make dreams real life
i’m obviously indebted to you
by the way you make me feel
ice cold warm heart
is always gonna be able to turn a dream to real
i’m touching all horizons with you
i got my sights on solid gold
i feel superhuman baby
y’know like the way the marvel make man feel in their shows
now check out what my mind say
check out what my words say
check out all my actions
i just want you’re satisfaction because
i wanna fly with you tonight
noone else, noone else can make the flight like you
that’s why i wanna fly with you tonight
and make dreams real life
lady you got to take my hand
then you’ll understand what i’m saying
and you know we gonna find the ideal destination
you know i wanna fly with you tonight
SATURN IN RAIN
anyone now
under the mellow tree
saturn in rain
sick of a woman me
anyone now
all the one taste
out in the desert
out in the sea for me
and now i mean it
over there the grains get in it
and who are you to think
the ride it would be easy,oh?
used to say
understanding you
to set the day
i’ll kill time for two
but walking to the moon ain’t cool when its you
i can tell we were sadder happy every hour
listen in vain
you’re so lost why
move along please
i've got my charmed life
oh i’m not in the way you say i am
just talking because im lost today
all need caring all reasons staring
you’re the ether reborn and wander round the rest of your life
WAITING
make me hopeless baby
move the light and shade me
take my sight and blind me
leave a taste to remind me
the clouds openly like raining for you
so have and hold me
a moment told me
i need always with you
make me hopeless baby
coloured skies are fading
only silence surrounds me
need you’re touch to refine me
and i openly like waiting for you
to have and hold me
a moment told me
i need always with you
SILVER LIGHT
late summer night, painted purple
storms from the right, words that hurtle
lips curl to fight, eyes are startled
blood from the bite seems to sparkle
now is the time
it’s too late to fly
hurting just to hurt
no silver light to brighten
clouds in our sight
now is the time
it’s too late to fly
i must try to stop this downpour and clear the skies
I JUST WANNA MAKE YOU
say boy
say girl
you got it all
believe me
want it all
want it so bad
what makes you think
you can have it all
say boy
say girl
you got it all
believe me
i just wanna make you
i just wanna make you
say boy
say girl
you got it all
believe me
want it all
want it so bad
what makes you think
you can have it all
i just wanna make you
i just wanna make you
DOUBLE VIEW
no you can’t change my mind
let’s go ahead and catch the tide
it’s out now. don’t doubt that I’ll apply
i paid up. i’m ready to ride
wonderful views from here
we’re breathing. we’re breathing
we’re breathing
BLUE AUTUMN
it happens when you’re gone
the place you lay still warm
then i close every single door
but barely can i wait
blue autumn let me down
leave me scattered on the ground
and decide
won’t you fly away from me
it’s over when it’s gone
but barely can i demand
my feelings ever mean a thing
if i beg you what would i be
blue winter let me down
leave me frozen on the ground
and decide
won’t you fly away from me
blue summer bring me round
bathe in circles from the sun
to decide
don’t you fly away from me
PORTABLE LIVING ROOM
oohh said you’d rule
does he say when he’s got to be something in your flame
does love go with you and your flying scene
oh don’t go will you
i suddenly fly
under the room where the love goes by
said you’d rule
do eyes go black and suit you
do others run when you become
a portable living room
oh don’t go will you
i suddenly fly
under the room where the love goes by
heal on high,
my sigh,
heal on high
you flee your home you’re one hundred and three
bless this world bless man for me
you’ve finally gone touched your home
when your love is mine
when your love is mine
on summers sometimes
you just hate your hell
but i don’t know what’s worth your love
only on times
take me to the movies oh nothing groovy on
there is a room
