It'll get you on the last bus home
Get you at the discount bend
It'll get youon the old dance floor
Get you as the party ends

Oh 4am, is the time when you were mine
Frozen in deepest sleep, for only i to keep
Now there aint no hiding place on earth
That loneliness a

Oh, rolling river
Go greet the seas across the ink black night
Oh, rolling river
This day the skyline been my guiding light

Oh, rolling river
I haul this hunted brow across the tides
The prayers that delivering
I'll cut my teeth upon the dresden ice

Where blue

15th heir to the ball and chain
House full of hungry kids to his name
Everything to lose and nothing to gain
Long reign Alfred the Great

Touched his toes down the company store
Scrubbed till he see his face in the floor
Lost his place to a foot in the door
Lo

Where the fountains freeze
and teetering heels fall to their knees
in disrepair
a dozen limping midnights
leave me there

Where the vandals loot
and no magnum opus
dares to stoop
the cupboards bare
drag your heels to Barberini Square

I close my fist aro

Be my midnight swimmer
I will be your sea salt lips
Be my cold blood killer and
I will be your fingertips

Be my midnight swimmer
I will be your sea salt lips
Be my cold blood killer and
I will be your fingertips

Be the drink rocker in my frame
Be the tap t

My heart ain't broken 'cause that implies
It was ever in one piece before tonight

Paradise is poison in my veins
Winter runs its fingers through the vapours that remain

Burn your books in the car
Fix your eyes on a star
And imagine you can handle the loss
Of a bea

A shot in the dark
The last dance of a flickering spark
On the footsteps
Of my diamond in the grind

A sweet rising note
The last blast on a fainting throat
A paupers serenade
For my diamond in the grind

Every last tear that I earned
I'd spend in a single n

A milk lit moon, it floods the room, and lights a path.
Right to the door, they sweep the floor, I drain my glass.
A night of waiting patiently for you,
Drinking for two.

The city sleeps, I walk the streets, alone again.
And no-one hears the stifled tears, I duly shed.

I'm going to drag you down with me
I'll take you walking by the sea
And when I find a place to rest
I'll hold your head upon my chest
and I 'm going to drag you down with me

Another false alarm
all the kids are fighting round our town

I'm going to crack the goldfi

Meeting mr. Right, the man of my dreams
The one who shows me true love or at least it seems
With brown cocoa skin and curly black hair
It's just the way he looks at me, that gentle loving stare
Finally you've come along
The way I feel about you it just can't be wrong
If y

World without sound
can't you keep the noise down
'Else you gonna make the baby cry

Over split blood
heavens anyone would
think you had an axe to grind

Baby look out here come the Romans
with their steely gaze they're climbing on your sofa
cheap veneers and a

Stifling a roar, beauty the crashing bore
Time worn verse and phrase
Young hearts on the chase

Haste to dull the wits, ransacking photo-fits
Smiles that don't belong
Like the one thats gone

Been kissing strangers
Trawling the night sky
Drinking the bars dry

Build me a heartbeat that will guide me to the gutter
Like a no good Luddite
Like a no good Luddite

One step bound, steer to the stern
Just a sweet dream between 'em
Just a sweet dream between 'em

Gunless wonder, rob me blind
With your whispering walls
With yo

By rights we should have been choking
On every word the Preacher had us repeat
A stiff drink and napkins in your hand bag
The first aid of a three-time divorcee

Carried you home down through the subway
Where thrills are cheap and the kids roll down walls
like pain

Meet me on the corner by the fire escape and I'll be waiting
Every inch of back roads that have put me here will disappear
And I'll hold you in my arms
Cold mathematics making its move on me now

Peac***s on the chopping block and in the blocks, my hopes are burning
Beautifu

Angel eyes, strike a match and set this city alight
All of my life I have been pondering the good done
doing right

Won't you be my mountain bird?
Forget all you've seen and heard here
Change your name and cut your hair
Spread your wings across my window
Don't

My God betrays
Dumb fist of tragedy hit the door
My God betrays
Waits for a signal and takes the floor

Dances and sways
Plays to the crowd
Strangles the light from my days
Oh, my God betrays

My God betrays
Spat on the handshake and called it quits
My G

Pouring the tea with a limb
Broken clean in the struggle
Too fair an age
For this war that we wage in the rubble

A tender old tyrant
To fend off the dawn as we sleep late
And end up here punchline
That falls to the floor like a dead weight

Tides will turn

God knows what is hiding
In that weak and drunken heart
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
Those hardfaced queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding
In those weak and sunken eyes
A fiery throng of muted angels
Giving love and getting nothing back

Blind me with distraction
Build a frontier 'cross the void
All tomorrow been destroyed, in a breath

I moved out to the country
And I saw the scenery shake
As a summer parade meets it's death
And God's assassins rode back into town
And paved their way upon the cold g
