BOMBERS MOON

Close the door, put out the light, you know we're all alone, they won't be home tonight
Tell me something from your heart, tell me something old, tell me something dark

Turn around to show your face, you're looking almost old, and slightly out of place
Tell me what is on your mind, all those scattered dreams, the ones that I can't find

You know its late to watch the stars come out and tell me I should stay
You know its late to watch the stars come out then make it go away

Remind me why it is we're here, the bonds that held us tight, afraid and disappeared
Do you need to know that I care, does it reassure your heart, your cold and burning stare

You know its late to watch the stars come out and tell me I should stay
You know its late to watch the stars come out then make it go away, away

Then you say, its not too late
The truth will stay here in this room
I just turn my face away
And hope the light will reach you soon
A bombers moon

ITS ONLY LOVE

Daylight breaks and I wander the halls of my mind
Looking for reason why you're always on my mind
A lone sunbeam to wash the sky of the solvent grey
Like a bright sunshower a thought of you and it breaks the day

And every minute, your on my mind (Its only love)
Show me a sign (Its only love)
Throw me a line (Its only love)
When your eyes meet mine (Its only love)

Falling raindrops merge together on my window pane
Like the palette of my thoughts for you again
A rainbow paints a ray of hope accross the sky
It asks the question about the chances of you and I

And every minute, your on my mind (Its only love)
Show me a sign (Its only love)
Throw me a line (Its only love)
When your eyes meet mine (Its only love)

The endless days and sleepless nights
Where dreamers dream of stars and lights
They keep rolling on
And now and then a teardrop falls
To celebrate this lonely cause
But you're already gone

Concentric circles like the ripples on a pond
Seem never ending and my thoughts for you go on and on
And in my mind I spend the time just like a castaway
And keep on hoping that tomorrow l'll find a way

And every minute, your on my mind (Its only love)
Show me a sign (Its only love)
Throw me a line (Its only love)
When your eyes meet mine (Its only love)

The endless days and sleepless nights
Where dreamers dream of stars and lights
They keep rolling on
And now and then a teardrop falls
To celebrate this lonely cause
But you're already gone

And every minute, your on my mind (Its only love)
Show me a sign (Its only love)
Throw me a line (Its only love)
When your eyes meet mine (Its only love)

TAKE ME OUT

You wouldn't believe, the things that I've seen
Strength of iron turned to rust
You couldn't concieve, the changes I've seen
All these memories turned to dust

Take me out, I want to be
I want to see them, let them see me
Not just sit here, counting my days
I want to taste the spray, feel the race

Dress me up, take me out
I wanna be where there's something about
I wanna get high to the moon
Sing to my favourite tune
Dress me up, take me out

When do you think my time stopped
On the inside I'm eighteen, the outside not
Well I'm still here, I need to belong
The right to be right, the right to be wrong

Dress me up, take me out
I wanna be where there's something about
I wanna get high to the moon
Laugh at my favourite cartoon
Dress me up, take me out

You wouldn't believe, the things that I've seen
Strength of iron turned to rust
You couldn't concieve, the changes I've seen
All these memories turned to dust

Take me out, I want to be
I want to see them, let them see me
Not just sit here, counting my days
I want to get out, fear my rage

Dress me up, take me out
I wanna be where there's something about
I wanna get high to the moon
Dance to my favourite tune
Dress me up, take me out

You wouldn't believe, the things that I've seen
Strength of iron turned to rust
You couldn't concieve, the changes I've seen
All these memories turned to dust

Take me out
Take me out
Take me out
Take me out

COLOUR BLIND

You got me on my knees now baby
You let me trust you more than "maybe"
You make me feel like I'm on fire
Let the flames growing higher
You should have known that it would end this way
You make me colour blind
You make me colour blind

You had me after you said "Hi"
You most impressed me with your smile
What have you done that made me follow
I'm sure it's something we should hollow
You should have known that it would end this way
You make me colour blind
You make me colour blind

I can't deny the feelings deep inside my lonely aching soul
I can't deny the beating of my heart, won't ever let you go

You make me colour blind
You make me blind
So colour blind, colour blind

You have goddammed eloquence
You turn me into a dissadent
It is so obviously clear
That you erased my total fears
You should have known that it would end this way
You make me colour blind
You make me colour blind, oh yeah, colour blind, yeah colour blind

Come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Yeah, oh Yeah you make me blind, you make me blind

I can't deny the feelings deep inside my lonely aching soul
I can't deny the beating of my heart, won't ever let you go

You make me colour blind

POSTCARD FROM THE EDGE

When you can’t stop, a love you can’t share
And you know that it’s all wrong, but you just don’t care
When passion turns to heat and your heart’s in the drivers seat
Send me Postcard from the edge

Take a long walk, along a short pier
If there’s nothing you want, then there’s nothing to fear
On our left, the life you lead, turn right to the chance you need
Then send me Postcard from the edge

But before you jump, leap from the ledge
Send me Postcard from the edge

You take the ride, but you can’t keep afloat
Down the river of life, cause you’ve just missed the boat
With the temptation banks, saying “come in withdraw”
But you’ll stay there forever
If you dare go ashore

It’s the same old, same old, home to the Mundane Man
Take the roundabout, to never-never land
On the wall where you stay, there’s a chalk mark called today
Just send me postcard from the edge

But before you jump, leap from the ledge
Send me Postcard from the edge

But before you jump, before you leap from the ledge
Send me Postcard from the edge
Just send me a postcard from the edge

ALL I NEED

Life, Holds, Your attention when you’re young, when you’re old

I used to listen, to every message of the day
Trust in what I read, believe in what they say
It’s good this way
It fights decay
It’s here to stay

A man upon the moon, brought critical acclaim
37 years since and never touched down again
All for fame
Stake your claim
What a shame

Gave up reading the Daily News
TV’s not good for my health
A standard diet of Rhythm and Blues
Keeps me in touch with myself

Life, Holds, Your attention when you’re young, when you’re old

Have faith in all your feelings, keep an open mind
Love is what you feel, it’s not written in the Times
Leave it all behind
It’s a test of time
Peace you’ll find

Gave up reading the Daily News
TV’s not good for my health
A standard diet of Rhythm and Blues
Keeps me in touch with myself

Gave up reading the Daily News
TV’s not good for my health
A standard diet of Rhythm and Blues
Keeps me in touch with myself

Life, Holds, Your attention when you’re young, when you’re old

WOULDN'T GET SO

The chemistry was electric
So different yet the same
Attraction so intense
Like moths drawn to the flame

The months passed by like seconds
Each moment made to last
So absorbed in one another
I didn’t care about your past

You said you wouldn’t get so
You said you wouldn’t get so

On day I came to realize
You had something deep inside
A mission to lose control
A need to run and hide

You tell me that you love me
But you crave for something else
You tell me that you need me
But you don’t even need yourself

You said you wouldn’t get so
You said you wouldn’t get so

You said you wouldn’t get so
You said you wouldn’t get so

You said you wouldn’t get so
You said you wouldn’t get so

CRUISING ALTITUDE

Ready for takeoff in-flight
Fasten your seatbelt real tight
Prepare yourself for the ride
As we switch into overdrive

And there’s no stopping us
Cause we’re in the mood
Until we reach
Cruising Altitude

Liftoff into the blue
The earth slowly fades out of view
Adrenalin startin’ to climb
We’re getting higher all the time

And there’s no stopping us
When we’re in the mood
And there’s no stopping us
Cause we’re in the mood
Until we reach
Cruising Altitude

A voice from the flight deck
I’m your captain today
We’re gonna start rockin’
There’s turbulence underway

And there’s no stopping us
When we’re in the mood
And there’s no stopping us
Cause we’re in the mood
Until we reach
Cruising Altitude

You never know who you’ll meet
At thirty-eight thousand feet
Riding the jetstream of love
Time for the Mile High Club

And there’s no stopping us
When we’re in the mood
And there’s no stopping us
Cause we’re in the mood
Until we reach
Cruising Altitude (Yeah, we’re in the mood…..)

PROMISE

To keep, to keep, a promise to keep

But when I stare before me
The image that I see
Is not what I expected
Nor what it ought to be

On the road of good intention
Which paved the way to here
I realize I lost you
But I can’t recall just where

You said we’d go together
You’d take good care for me
One hand in another, responsibility

Now you tell me that it’s different
You don’t feel the same
It’s just not what you wanted
This endless source of pain

But I’ve got a promise
You gave me a promise
Yeah, I’ve got a promise
To keep, To keep, To keep, To keep

Where do you think this leaves us
Halfway down the track
Damaged for the future
But burnt the whole way back

How can you not just want it
When it takes your whole damn life
Theses years are being torn from us
This endless sacrifice

But I’ve got a promise
You gave me a promise
Yeah, I’ve got a promise
To keep, To keep, To keep, To keep

ALL OVER TOWN

I don’t know if you know what you want, but I know you make it hard
You got that thing in you, sometimes it comes through and makes it hard

Step down from the train, it all looks the same
But everybody’s staring to see if I’m in pain
I don’t know if you know what you want, but I know you make it hard

And it’s all over town
You’re tearing me up, you’re tearing me down
Yes, it’s s all over town
You’re bringing me down

He meets me with a grin, says it’s not a sin, you like it hard
I would do the same, in and out again, it’s not that hard

I don’t have the right, to bleed in broad daylight
She told you it was over, she might have got that right
I don’t know if you know what you want, but I know you make it hard

And it’s all over town
You’re tearing me up, you’re tearing me down
Yes, it’s s all over town
You’re bringing me down

Then you say, “hey let’s get away, another start”
But I see, you’re only wanting me for my heart, in a jar

Stop bringing me down, stop bringing me down
Stop brining me down - Stop
Stop bringing me down, stop bringing me down
Stop brining me down - Stop
Stop bringing me down, stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down, stop bringing me down

And it’s all over town
Don’t you think I’m a clown?
Yes, it’s all over town
You’re bringing me down

EXIT WOUND

Take me away to the start of the day,
With some children sleeping, and others they come out to play now
You go down the stairs without taking in air
Down to the life that you hope for, you dream of, you’re scared now

I think I might dance, love?
Take a chance, love?
Get me a reason to be, in high season of love

You smile and you shine, you shimmer sublime,
Spinning and weaving you’re crushing my mind and I’m leaving
The sweat on your face suggesting disgrace
Convince me to stay, this city, this moment, this space, mine

Then you ask me to dance, love?
Take a chance, love?
Give me a reason to be, in high season of love

Then we kiss, it blows me away, but it’s easier now
Fears and doubts, shaking them out, but it’s easier now
Bold as love, sent from above
I’m reeling and laughing and shouting out loud,
Who’d have guessed, from a life of distress to this right now?
I’m on fire

Dreams of all we can build and fulfil, and it’s easier now
Burning bright, all day and all night, and it’s easier now
Our advice, worth twice the price
Everyone’s asking ‘cause we’ve got it right,
It is clear where we go from here and it’s easy now,
‘Cause we’ve got plans,
Yeah, we got plans!

But these plans,
Tiny bubbles in our hands,
Fit to burst, or fit to grow,
Who’s to stay, who’s to go?
Do you think you’ll understand?
What is to understand?

And when the daylight comes,
I realise that you’re still gone,
The joy just turns to black,
You’re not ever coming back,
And I must face this on my own,
I must face this day alone.

Take me away to the start of the day,
With some children sleeping, and others?
We went out to play
