You waited for me
On the green grass behind the park
I felt your breath
On the back of my neck
From two hundred yards

You waited for me
You said you didn't
I know you lied
I've been watching you for hours

I trusted you
I cared for you
With the most important thing
And you said
Everything you did
Was for me

Yeah look down at your feet
Your own look me in ?

'Cause I waited for you
And you waited for me
'Cause I waited for you
And you waited, you waited for me

Your just still love
Your just still love
Your just still love

You're just a still love
You're just a still love
You're just a still love

'Cause I waited for you

. . .



Night came to me
Like a tired movie star
Crept up to me in the dark
I heard it call

You're too tired to listen to me
But you'll miss me
If you sleep
And what's a day
Without a night
To give it birth

Lie below
Watch it rise
What is worse
I need her like
She needs me
How can you say
The night is free

You cursed me cause I stole the light
But I helped the blind
Took everybody's sight
Then they bought the light from the day
Now there's not a safe place

And what's a day
Without a night
To give it birth
Lie below watch it rise
What is worse
I need her like
She needs me
how can you say

. . .



What am I doing here
When I was brought in the world
Through blood and tears

How will it end
How will it end

I'm not trying to be melodramic
I try hard to think what I'm going to say
'Cause I want to keep the friends that I've got
Well I think I do anyway

How will it end
How will it end

I can't think of good things
When they happen
I wait for the shit to come
And I love you one and all
One and all

What am I doing here
When I was brought in the world
Through blood and tears

How will it end
How will it end

I'm going to stop being scared
Of what happens when I say what I think
I'm gonna stand up and be brave about it
Look who I am I've got a brain
I've got a thought between these ears
Feelings between eyes
You want to see
And I am no pig with it's trotters on your plate
To come and cut into and salivate into

What am I doing here
I was brought in this world through blood and tears
How will it end
How will it end
How will it end
How will it end

. . .



Show it to me one more time
Give it a try say that you were wrong
And I was right

There's no one to blame
I'd prefer it wasn't me
I don't chase fools or make rules
Saying you and me are meant to be
No, no, no, no, no ...

Said it in basic French
I've slept with someone
I love her 'cause she looks like you
There's no one to blame
You just look the same
Do I really have to choose?
No, no, no, no, no ...

In a hotel undercover
Heard you speaking through my new lover
I'm not to blame we‘re all the same
You'll be tired of me when he gets tired of you
No, no, no, no, no ...

Bringing it down
Down to my level
Where you think I am
Bringing it down, down down
Down to my level
Where you think I am
Come down, down
Down to my level
I know you'll understand
Down down down
Down to my level

. . .



Saw the future to the past
Saw the silence that is now
Soaked it up in a cloth
Hung it up with old rows

Something like that
Oh god it's all coming back
Something like that
Something like that
Something like that ...

I was calm sure of things
I put on your boots
And started to sing
What a life which one do I choose
You or her her or you
I'll wait a while and have some fun with this
Have some fun

Something like that
Oh I'm so coming back
Something like that
Something like that
Something like that ...
Something like that
Oh god it's all coming back

To see things you way
I have to step out of me
And look out of you
Into me

Something like that
Something like that

. . .



Sometimes the rain rains
Sometimes the sunshine shines
Over and over again
Washing us warm and dry

Over the hill I watched you walk up to me
Wind in the grass
Brushed you up like from the sea
Ahh ahh ahh ahh

Darker than blue into grey
We watched the sun go down
Lights in the houses went on
Like sun shining from the ground

Then over the hill I watched you walk up to me
Wind in the grass

. . .



Lonely never a thought from you
Simply only
Nothing to you

I just wanted
A slice of your life
A bit of spice in my life
A bit of nice in my life

Something keeps you from me
Nothing wrong in just letting it be
Letting it be

Stop the rain
Close your eyes
Close your sleepy eyes

. . .



Dogs been hanging 'round my door for three days
Been barking like they're talking
It's been raining for more than three days
And still they're not moving

I tasted her on your skin
I didn't tell you
You tasted her in your mind
You didn't tell me

You talk of angels and their wings
Do you think your God
Cause I am no angel with pretty wings
I am barking with the dogs

I saw her and me in your eyes
Both of us inside you
Two loves inside you
And the only thing you wanted was you

Dogs been hanging 'round my door for three days
Been barking like they're talking
It's been raining for more than three days

. . .



Fade into the distance
Paler and paler and
Fade into the wallpaper
Slowly when I don't look
The more that I will you
The less it hurts inside
Time on my own is like cool fresh air
After summer sunlight

You fade away
Beautifully dissolved
And my profile is clear
Ready to be resolved

You were my back door key
When there was a queue to get in
Maybe I was a tease to laugh at you
Eating out of that tin
But it's hard not to be who I am
When I feel so at home
There's nothing more sexy
Than watching someone who doesn't know
They are being watched and

You fade away
Beautifully dissolved
And my profile is clear
Ready to be resolved

Fade into the distance
Paler and paler and

. . .



No one is going to hurt you
I'm the one who will protect you
Let your walls down
I wanna be around you
I just don't want to surround you

You think everyone has got it in for you
I feel the same way
It doesn't mean it's true
Let your walls down
I wanna be around you
I just don't want to surround you

I'm sinking down down in white sheets
And hot sleep
With the traffic of mad men and maniacs
I'm sinking down down in white sleep and hot sheets
With mad men and maniacs
