Guillemots Album

When the moon's in the sky I like it
When the moon's in the sky we like it
It's not gonna give us bad advice
So go and dance with your thunder and lightning
Where the paradise birds are fighting
Let's shake things up a bit tonight

Are you coming out tonight?
Are you coming out tonight?
Cos we're going out tonight
And we won't be cattle on your farm tonight

Ask yourself why
Come on, ask your man why
Cos you're ugly and you lie
And you kriss kross kriss kross
It's a lie
So bye bye bye bye bye bye

Are you coming out tonight?
Well come out with us tonight
Cos this .... is right
And we know which one we are tonight

Ah don't start crying now
Don't go crying now
Cos the moon is gonna dance for us tonight
Don't go dying now
You're not dying now
And the sky is just not close to us tonight

And as for you, friend
High in your high home
Watching us all falling down like rain
I hope you're happy
Feel really holy
Cos your godliness has taken every single thing I loved on earth tonight

Oh I won't let you leave me
You're all I've got, believe me
Stay
Don't close your eyes
Nobody really dies
They all just end up in the sky
So far away

When you love someone
And you trust someone
None of the world can tell you that they're lying

Then you lose someone
And the bee gets stung
And the only real thing you wanna see it do is die

Hear the animals sing:

Big heart
Big hug
Big dog
That's what I want

So let's not pretend
We're the best of friends
All of the world that we've been crying

And the pressure's on
Now the red light's on
See me break down
See me break down
See me break down
See me break down

It's not over
It's all over

Sick and tired of your pretty face
So sick of it
Sick and tired of it

Get out, get on
Big dog, I don't know what I want
You're the soul in my shoes
But I can't get along with you

It's not over
It's over

Nothing is everything now

Big heart
Big hug
Big dog
That's what I want

Slow down, slow down
You'll only get burned out
Calm down, calm down
You're getting so worn out

They're trying to make you compromise
This fire burning in your eyes

Darling, you're slowly drifting out of reach
I'm slowly drifting out of reach
We're slowly drifting out of reach

You're slowly falling out of reach
I'm slowly falling out of reach
We're slowly falling out of reach

Out of reach

So home is just a word now
You don't see it anymore
The child's eyes are vacant now
The lights are just a glare

Music's gone and you're always wrong
And there's people everywhere

But darling, time will make amends
Just need a rest, just need your friends

They're slowly drifting out of reach
You're slowly drifting out of reach
We're slowly drifting out of reach

You're slowly falling out of reach
I'm slowly falling out of reach
We're slowly falling out of reach

Oh, keep falling, falling down
You won't need this
You don't need this now

You should be sleeping
Yeah, you should be sleeping

Oh, you're slowly drifting out of reach
I'm slowly drifting out of reach
We're slowly drifting out of reach

You're slowly falling out of reach
I'm slowly falling out of reach
We're slowly falling out of reach

Out of reach

Don't cry, don't cry
Birds' eyes fill up in the sky

The sun keeps burning
The sun keeps burning
Don't know what to do

Out of reach

So the skin has turned its back on me again
And it's back to playschool for me and my childhood friend
Well get over it!

And the words don't leave my mouth till I've had a dram
So I sit in the corner and watch you like the man I am
Well get over it!
Get over it!

D'you want my side, my side of the story?
D'you want my side, my side of the story?
Well I want you, want you like I'm eighteen
But I'm tied, tied to my baby
To my baby
Oh!

In another life I'd be drenched in sweat with you
But it's this life darlin', and in this life we make do
Oh get over it!
G-g-g-g-get over it!

Oh, d'you want my side, my side of the story?
D'you want my side, my side of the story?
Well I want you, want you like I'm eighteen
But I'm tied, tied to my baby
To my baby
My blessed baby

Oh here's my side, my side of the story
Oh I'm so tired, sick tired of the story!
Oh I want that [????]
Oh I'd kill my life for, what could I be
What could I be?

All the notebooks in the world can never hold the lives I hold
But I've gotta make them real
It's like covering a bird in solid steel
All of these thoughts that I conceal
Through silence

All the hearts in this red world can never hold the love I hold
But I'm throwing it away
It's like swimming in oceans made of clay
Swimming in circles 'round the bay
So blindly

Well feed me out to the lions
My hearts a lion
Feed me out to the lions

well I make excuses pass the buck
I play the crowd but it's down to me not luck
When the lights are on

The dreaming clouds they're living in
They try to hide their master fear
But their tears they catch on fire
And as they drop they dance with my desire
Don't think a plane could get much higher
(plane could get much higher)
Higher than I do

Just on imagination, just on hope
Just on the thought that you will someday have a face
Give me a beat and real sound
Maybe some feet will reach cold ground
To find you

Well feed me out to the lions
If I say this one more time
Feed me out to the lions

I beg, I hope, I wish, I pray
But that's not gonna send me on my way
When the lights come on

There's something
Oh, so unusual
About the way you say you're sorry
Over and over again

There's something
Oh, so unusual
About the way you say you're sorry
Over and over again

One love, one last kiss
One last man prowling the sky
One dream, one last kiss
One last love, lost in the sky

There's something
Oh, so unusual
About the way you say you're sorry
Over and over again

Dry those tears in your eyes
Let your heart cry
Dry those tears in your eyes
Let your heart cry

One love, one last kiss
One last man prowling the sky
One dream, one last kiss
One last love, lost in the sky

One love, one last kiss
One last man prowling the sky
One dream, one last kiss
One last love, lost in the sky

How can you look at me and smile
After all and everything you said
There are things about you
That don't fit together in my head

Because you lie
And you cry
And you cry

And you lie
And you lie
And you lie
And you cry

And you lie
And you cry
And you lie
And you lie

When the train comes to stop
Oh, I don't wanna move
And blunder back into it all

When the plane come to land
I wanna stay inside
And rise up to the clouds again

Cause dealing with the real world
Is sometimes not too fun
When baby says she loves you
Whilst holding up a gun

Thank goodness
I've got imaginary creatures
Laying on the advice
By my side
By my side

When the film credits roll
I stay right till the end
Then wander the streets with my eyes ablaze

All I really want to do
Is go straight back and watch it again
Playing a different person every time

Oh, cause living in the real world
Can sometimes get so strange
When you fall in love with statues
And cockateels in a cage

Well, it seems I've got imaginary lovers
They say they're protecting the space
By my side
By my side

Words are never easy
Words are seldom true
Words are never simple darling
When they're aimed at you

Words are never gentle
Words are never plain
Words are never what they think they are
That's the problem with pain

Words are never my own
Try well as they might
They break me into pieces, darling
From the greatest of heights

I left you in the morning
When the tears stained my smile
I left you in the morning, darling
For a long, long while

Oh and I think life would be so much easier if they had no words
Yeah, I think life would be so much easier if they had no words
I'd smile at you when I was happy, shed a tear when I was sad
I think life would be so much easier if I was half the drunken man

Don't blame it on me
Oh, blame it on the words
Don't blame it on me
Oh, blame it on the words

Blame it on the words
Blame it on the words
Blame it on the words

So, Cinderella sold her soul
There's no such thing as rock and roll
We all stood in the queue and sold our hearts

I think there was an accident
They came as quickly as they went
Now I'm half a million miles up in the sky

Standing on the last star
Standing on the last star
Spinning around

Standing on the last star
Standing on the last star
Feeling down
Trying to find the ground

Don't cry
Don't cry
I know it'll be alright

I've been trying
I've been trying
To tell myself that all night

If this is the end of history
The final account
Nobody to pin your hopes on
No money to count
Not even lips to say goodbye

Standing on the last star
Standing on the last star
In the sky

Standing on the last star
Standing on the last star
There's no decent reason why

Standing on the last star
Standing on the last star
Waiting to die
Somebody left the taps on in the sky

Oh, tell me

Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?

Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?

Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Will nothing in the world ever make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?
Is nothing in the world gonna make you happy?

So the king went riding
On a silver horse
Quit the throne
Gone running

For a bit of sugar
And a bit of salt
He waged a war
About nothing

But it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
The king is dying
Come out with me tonight

Take on the world
Take up your act
Take out your violence on the sun

You're a speck of dust
I'm a speck of dust
One day we'll fall on everyone

Can we try laughing
Instead of fighting on the phone
Dancing on our own
And the King's in the corner saying

Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down

I can't walk
I can't talk
I'll probably find our home
like a dog chasing a bone

The sky is laughing
The sky is laughing
At me
At me

So when the devil asks you
What went wrong
Just tell the beast
His kids are in the garden

You can find a million
Faults in me
But darling you can't say
I gave you nothing

It's alright
Yeah, it's alright
Oh, you look so good
Come out with me tonight

Come out with me tonight

All the world is laughing
All the world is dancing
I'm sat here, romancing
Nobody, on my own

Won't you take me home?
Take me home
Take me home

Don't know where I'm going
Or who I am no more
Lying on the carpet, beating,
Beating, lying down on the floor

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

When all the world's been dreaming
I've been burning all my feelings
I wish that I was dreaming too
I wish I was asleep

Oh, take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
