Doves Album

Think I might have met you before
I think it's time we settled the score
Buildings there they stretch so tall
It's steel and brick no more, no more

Can't I make you see?

Too much history coming down
Another building brought to ground
Roads that come together
My memory never severs
The love'll never sever for me

Can't I make you see?

Some cities crush
Some cities heal
Some cities laugh
While other cities steal

Can't I make you see?

Some cities crush
Some cities

Here comes the action
Here it comes at last
Lord give me reaction
Lord give me a chance

You should follow
Me down

In satellite towns
There's no colour and no sound
I'll be ten feet underground
Gotta get out of this satellite town

Here comes some action
First time in my life
I gotta get out to get compensation
I gotta get out to get this tonight

Speech...

You should follow
Your way down

In satellite towns
There's no colour and no sound
I'll be ten feet underground
In a black and white town

You should follow
Me down

There's no colour and no sound
In a black and white town
We'll be ten feet underground
In a black and white town

So close...
You're wasted again
I know, somehow...
I lost myself...again

Making me high again
I almost forgot myself again
It hits me so hard
It kills me again
Today

So close
Yet you're wasted again
I know, somehow...
We'll find ourselves...
I don't know, I don't know

Then we'll be high again
I almost forgot myself there
It hits you so hard
And kills again

I almost forgot myself again
I almost forgot myself there
It's hitting me hard
It moves me again
Again...

I said man, can you help me out?
Bring me back to love
Bring me back to life

Oh why should I care?

I said how, could you keep me out?
Without a wish to share
So without a doubt

Oh then why should I care?

We have been warned
It's a classic sign
It's a wicked mind
With an axe to grind

When is it our, our turn?
So why should we care?

Yeah we have been warned
It's a classic sign
Why should we care?

If this is our last summer
Oh then why should we care?

If this could be our last summer
Then why should we care?

You weathered the storm
You came out the other side
The place you were born
Is a place inside

Don't be sad it's gone
Don't be sad I'm gone...

To weather the storm
Up on your feet again
If it all comes down
Would you still call this the end?

Don't be sad it's gone
Can't be sad for long

Don't give up be strong
Don't be sad I'm gone

The night you left the storm

To weather it all
To come out the other side
With the moon all high
I'll see you on the other side

It seems, it seems there's nothing
That you couldn't do
With a drink inside of you
Is there nothing
You'd not do
With a drink in you?

I've always known
That you felt the pain
And it had to start to show
It'd driven you insane
I could lie, but I can't
'Cause you know it's so

You tell me, you say
"I walk in fire, you walk in fire"
You're not free till you
Walk in fire, I walk with fire, I walk in fire

You've always been
A loose cannon, gone
And the way you were back then
You'd take on anyone
It takes years to accept it all
And to be yourself

You tell me, you say
"I walk in fire, you walk in fire"
You're not free till you
Walk in fire, I walk with fire, you walk in fire

On and on and day by day
We fool ourselves we ain't the same
Everyone who stayed away
Man I always felt your pain

On and on I tell myself
Fool ourselves we ain't the same
Everyone who stayed away
Man I always felt your pain

You tell me, you say
"You walk in fire, you walk in fire"
You're not free till you
You walk in fire, walk with fire, walk in fire

Say something
Anything will do my love
There's a girl on the 'phone
That's the girl who's never home

Say something good
There's a wilderness of hope
That's the girl, on the 'phone
That's the girl who's never home

And your friends they were so close

Say you will stay
Forgot what I came here for
Passing signs on the road
Telling me I'm far from home

Strangers out here
Myself I disappear
That's the killer on a call
That's the man who works alone

Your friends they were so close
One by one they didn't stay
Drift away like rolling sea
One by one they drift away
One of these days
One of these days

And your friends they were so close
One by one they didn't stay
Drift away like rolling seas
Day by day they drift away
And the people that were close
Are the ones you miss the most

One of these days I'll blow away
One of these days I'll blow away

All my love and all my heart go with you
Just look into my eyes and what can you see?
But all my love and all the time keep with me
I'll keep it with me

Someday soon you'll know how it feels to love someone
Someday soon you'll know how it feels to trust someone

Seven days and seven nights have fallen
Empty streets and bright lights he's walking
So why is it the ones we love we can't trust?
We can't trust

Because someday soon you'll know how it feels to love someone
Someday soon you'll know how it feels to trust someone To trust someone

It's been a while since I loved someone

In shadows of Salford
You will walk again
The shadows of lovers
All will be quiet then

The roads that your mothers
They would follow down
In shadows of Salford
Let me walk again

The love that you left there
Spoke without a sound
A love was so haunting
Lost and never found

The roads that your mother
They would follow down
For in shadows of Salford
You will walk again

Who am I supposed to be?
I can't be sure that the next one will see me

And if the sky starts falling on the street outside
The only thing that satisfies
If the sky starts falling on the heads outside
The only thing that keeps me alive

If you see her again, be sure to say hello
Be sure to send my love
Did she seem like before
Could you seem above it all
Be sure to send my love

Wake up, waking up to see
It's a sign
That what will be will be

And if the sky starts falling on the street outside
The only thing that satisfies
If the sky starts falling on the heads outside
The only thing that keeps me alive

I swear I heard her call, call my name
I swear I heard her call, can I move on

If you see her again, be sure to say hello
Be sure to send my love
Did she seem like before
Can't you see above it all
Be sure to send my love

I swear I heard her call, call my name
I swear I heard her call, can I move on

Did she call herself a friend?
Don't call on me again, don't call on me again
Did she seem like before
Did she seem above it all
Be sure to send my love

So ambition cut you down
Ain't a love as perfect
Everybody knows it
Something drove you down

Something as good
Something new
Somebody good
Our ambition cuts you down

There's not a love that's perfect
But I, I live in hope

Somebody good
Somebody new
Something as good
Something that's mine

Ain't a love that's perfect
Everybody knows it
Ambition cuts us down
