sick, tired and homeless
with no one here to sing for
tired of being weightless
for all these looking good boys
you can always say my attic has its charm
you can always say you did no major harm
you can always that summer had its charm
and that you did no major harm
oh, spare me if you please
sick, tired an sleepless
with no one else to shine for
sick of all my distress
but I won't show I'm still poor
symptoms are so deep
something here's so wrong
nothing is completenowhere to belong
symptoms are so deep
I think I'd better stay
here on my own
so spare me if you please
Black Letter Day
I did all that I should, well all that I could
but will I be clean
I did all that I should, well all that I could
but it isn't me
all my strength is dead and gone
slept as long I could, as long as I should
to find comfort here
slept as long I could, as long as I should
but I still have fear
all my strength is dead and gone...
black letter day
all the fun / joy / strength
...has gone away
I drank all that I could, much more than I should
in simple despair
I drank all that I could, much more than I should
to find someone there
I hope monday will be a better day
In the Afternoon
winter came by my bedroom today
falling in rows and covering the lane
morning shone on my windows today
passing the time I slumber away
to kill all the day
stumbling up at one
and put the kettle on
but wher's the coffee gone
in the afternoon
I put the TV on
but where's the drama gone
in the afternoon
and time is all that passes
someone came by my bedroom today
swaying around, then silently away
someone left home and my bedroom today
left by the time I slumbered away
to kill all the day
some people don't hurry
don't you worry they say
one day I'll be older
so much colder I say
this fear won't appear
if I keep stumbling up at one
Over the Water
turn away and the collar
because the blowing is dry
walk away to the harbour
before your ships will fly
slip away and the pillow
because it's falling of down
trot away and around
because your ships are found
somewhere over the water
next to a harbour
someone's eager to listen
someone to be in...
After All...
after all you were perfectly right
but I'm scaring close to insanity
and on a night like this
nothing stays the same
nothing looks the same
after all you were perfectly right
though our relation just split me in two
and on a night like this
pieces fall apart
visions fall apart
after all you were perfectly right
I have never been happy before
and on a night like this
you can hear the words
see behind the words
after all you were perfectly wrong
though I thought I'd found love
and on a night like this
nothing could be worse
nothing could be worse
Cloudy Sky
I'd catch some stars for you
and just for you
I'd paint the grey sky blue
and just for you
so don't tell me you want the rain
from a cloudy sky
to wash away the pain
that I've given you again
I've always tried to find
what satisfies your mind
but I will never know
where you are to go
but I want you to know
do you want a golden ring
I would buy you anything.
I'd read some poems for you
just for you
I hope they won't make you blue
like they used to do
so please tell me they're like the rain
from this cloudy sky
Lovefool
Dear, I fear wer're facing a problem
you love me no longer, I know
and maybe there is nothing
that I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
that I ought to stick to another man
a man that surely deserves me
but I think you do!
So I cry, I pray and I beg
Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
love me love me
pretend that you love me
just say that you need me
Love me love me
say that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
Lately I have desperately pondered,
spent my nights awake and I wonder
what I could do have done in another way
to make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
as long as you don't go
Iron Man
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
why should we even care?
He was turned to steel
in the great magnetic field
When he travelled time
for the future of mankind
Now the time is here
for Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
that he will soon unfurl
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead
fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!
Great Divide
There's a monster growing in our heads
raised up on the wicked things we've said
a great divide between us now
something we should know
There's something to remember
and something to forget
as long as we remember
there's something to regret
something we should know
There's a mountain higher than we knew
it's high but such a bitter view
a great divide between us now
something we should know
A great divide between us now
on different sides of a great divide
Sick & Tired
sick, tired and homeless
with no one here to sing for
tired of being weightless
for all these looking good boys
you can always say my attic has its charm
you can always say you did no major harm
you can always that summer had its charm
and that you did no major harm
oh, spare me if you please
sick, tired an sleepless
with no one else to shine for
sick of all my distress
but I won't show I'm still poor
symptoms are so deep
something here's so wrong
nothing is complete
nowhere to belong
symptoms are so deep
I think I'd better stay
here on my own
so spare me if you please
