You cross the schoolyard with your head held down And walk the streets under the breaking cloud With a hundred futures cascading out It's complicated You think of love as just a memory A fog that smothers you, it's hard to breathe But when you're on your own, that's when you're free You're three years older and you'll always be now I can feel you more than you really know I will love you more than I'll ever show There was a time when someone seemed to care A tourist in your bed, you left him there And found a simple life with no one to share It's not complicated You make a list of all your big regrets And share with people that you've never met You slowly move towards the medicine chest You're three years older and you'll always be now I can feel you more than you really know I will love you more than I'll ever show You only have to say And the world will slip away From you Shame on you for getting older every day This place is not for you so why do you still stay? You're standing with the other fuckers in the rain Life is not some sinecure for you to claim You have to pay I can feel you more than you really know I will love you more than I'll ever show You only have to say And the world will slip away From you

Together we Have this love Even so It's not enough Bruised and burned We won't lose heart Just because Life gets hard Writing lying e-mails to our friends back home Feeling guilty if we sometimes wanna be alone Hand. Cannot. Erase. this love Hand. Cannot. Erase. this love And a love like this Makes us strong We laugh it off When things go wrong It's not you, forgive me if I find I need more space 'Cause trust means we don't have to be together everyday Hand. Cannot. Erase. this love Hand. Cannot. Erase. this love Hand. Cannot. Erase. this love Hand. Cannot. Erase. this love

When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months She arrived one February morning, pale and shell-shocked, from past lives I could not imagine She was three years older than me, but in no time we became friends We'd listen to her mix tapes Dead Can Dance, Felt, This Mortal Coil She introduced me to her favourite books Gave me clothes, and my first cigarette Sometimes we would head down to Blackbirds Moor To watch the barges on Grand Union in the twilight She said, "The water has no memory" ("The water has no memory") For a few months everything about our lives was perfect It was only us, we were inseparable But, gradually, she passed into another distant part of my memory Until I could no longer remember her face, her voice, even her name We have got, we have got the perfect life We have got, we have got the perfect life We have got, we have got the perfect life We have got, we have got, we have got the perfect life We have got, we have got, we have got the perfect life We have got, we have got, we have got the perfect life We have got, we have got, we have got the perfect life We have got, we have got, we have got the perfect life

What do I do with all the children's clothes? Such tiny things that still smell of them And the footprints in the hallway Onto my knees, scrub them away And how to be of use? Make the tea and the soup All of their favourites, throw them away And all their schoolbooks, and their running shoes Washing them clean in the dirty steel sink Routine keeps me in line Helps me pass the time Concentrates my mind Helps me to sleep Keep making beds, and keep the cat fed Open the windows, let the air in Keep the house clean, and keep the routine Paintings they made still stuck to the fridge La da-da, dah La da-da, dah Da, da-da-da La, la-da-da La da-da, dah La da-da, dah Da, da-da-da La, da-da-da Mother I am far from you Left behind a dream of my youth All these years now gone Keep cleaning, keep ironing Cooking their meals on the stainless steel hob Keep washing, keep scrubbing Long until the dark comes to bruise the sky Deep in debt to night Routine keeps me in line Helps me pass the time Helps me to sleep Routine keeps me in line Helps me pass the time, —ime, —ime Helps me to sleep Ah-ah-ah The most beautiful morning, forever Like the ones from far off, far off away With the hum of the bees in the jasmine sway Don't ever let go Try to let go Don't ever let go Try to let go Don't ever—

Download sex and download God Download the funds to meet the cost Download a dream home and a wife Download the ocean and the sky Another day on earth has passed me by But I have lost all faith in what's outside The awning of the stars across the sky And the wreckage of the night Download love and download war Download the shit you didn't want Download the things that make you mad Download the life you wish you had Another day on earth has passed me by But I have lost all faith in what's outside The awning of the stars across the sky And the wreckage of the night

Cut through the country, speed through the dark A child in a train, Tristessa departs It's only the start (Start, ah) Filigree circles 'round her young wrist Her mother is frowning, it's something she missed She fixes her hair (Start, ah) At the failing of the day she heard Her father always say, "Remember, it's only the start It's only the start." When she drifted off to sleep She had the whole world at her feet because It's only the start, it's only the start Before they fell away, it seemed to matter all the same But it was only the start, it's only the start It's only the start

Reason never seems to come to guilty men Things that meant so much mean nothing in the end Their function is dysfunction and to hide the truth Distracted by their faith, ignoring every proof A bicycle A garden wall A mother's call A love is born And after all the sleep that falls on me And in the city there are those that live alone Twilight brings them from the gloom into our homes And hiding there among the wreckage left behind They see things that haunt them when they close their eyes Come back if you want to And remember who you are 'Cause there's nothing here for you my dear And everything must pass When the world doesn't want you It will never tell you why You can shut the door, but you can't ignore The crawl of your decline (Child, come child, come) Come back if you want to (Child, come child, come) (Child, come child, come) Come back if you want to (Child, come child, come) Come back A bicycle A garden wall A mother's call A love is born And after all the sleep that falls on me

Hey brother Happy returns It's been a while now I bet you thought that I was dead But I'm still here Nothing's changed, nothing's changed Hey brother I'd love to tell you I've been busy But that would be a lie 'Cause the truth is The years just pass like trains I wave but they don't slow down Don't slow down Hey brother I see the freaks and dispossessed on day release Avoiding the police I feel I'm falling once again But now there's no one left to catch me Hey brother I feel like I'm living in parentheses And I've got trouble with the bills Do the kids remember me? Well, I've got gifts for them And for you much sorrow But I'm feeling kind of drowsy now So I'll finish this tomorrow
