Come Again |
There's been so much eye for an eye
Now i can't tell which cheek to turn
Look how we double deal
Just to keep the pack at bay
Ah now i'm asking the whys & whens
He's coming back for a second term
And i'm all fingers and thumbs
Through trying to have my say
What d'you say?
Come again, come again
Oh help me through the night
Come again, oh jesus christ
I found a book in a hotel
Just as i had nothing left to read
And nowhere left to turn
Feltlike i had been drawn
How the wind rocked the trees
Waves were picking up across the bay
And yes the earth moved for me
In a different kind of way
What d'you say?
Come again, come again
Oh help me through the night
Come again, come again
Second time will be twice as nice
Come again
A white light at the end of the tunnel
(boop-boop)
Come again, come again
Oh jesus christ
Come again, come again
Oh help me through the night
Come again
Oh jesus christ
Look there's been so much eye for an eye
I don't know which way to turn
Look how we double deal
Just to keep the pack at bay
Ah now i'm asking the whys & whens
I don't know which way to turn
Could end up talking in tongues
Through always trying to have your say
Come again come again come again
Oh help me, oh help me
Come again come again
Second time will be twice as nice
Come again
A white light at the end of the tunnel
Boop-boop
Come again come again
Oh jesus christ
Come again come again come again
Come again come again come again
Come again come again
can't take my own advice
your letter reached me the other day
i like ther way you got around to saying
"don't screw it up and throw it away"
said "it can be paradise or it can be hell
we're always stuck somewhere inbetween
we just bite it off, chew it up & spit it out
not know what it's meant to mean
well i say
yes times are tough
but there's something we could learn
stop treating love
like a penny saved is a penny earned
can't you see that...
i love you faults & all?
i love your faults, they make you more like you
i love you faults & all
i love you more than i think you think i do
'till hell freezes over
let the sky turn red, let then sun turn blue, but
i love you faults & all
i love your faults, they make you you!
don't know quite what to think
it's harder still knowing what to say
when everytime I try to speak my mind
my heart keeps getting in the way
yes it can be paradise or it can be hell
i've seen enough, yes that much is true
i like the way i got to finding out
the one i fell in love with was you
yes times are tough
but there's something we could learn
stop treating love
like a penny saved is a penny earned
can't you see that...?
i love you faults & all
i love your faults, they make you more like you
i love you faults & all
i love you more than i think you think i do
'till hell freezes over
let the sky turn red, let then sun turn blue, but
i love you faults & all
i love your faults, they make you you!
i love you faults & all
i love you faults & all
i love you more than i think you think i do
'till hell freezes over
i love you, faults & all
i love your faults they make you you!
duck & cover in the tower of babel
train your children to sit under tables
a warm rain but a chill in the air
can't they tell that there's people down there?
forward as one
not marching as to war
forward as one
not marching as to war
forward as one, forward as one
forward as one
not marching as to war
i have a father & he fought in the jungle
he lost a brother, so i lost an uncle
life's a gas, hah!, life's a scream
in the army, navy, airforce, marines
forward as one
not marching as to war
forward as one
not marching as to war
hear the officer "hup two three..."
forward as one forward as one
forward as one
not marching as to war
either you like it or you don't
but somebodies pushing, stabbing you down
either you like it or you don't
but somebodies pushing, stabbing you down
all around you under curfew
people see but minds are shattered
hypnotized & disillusioned
watch the times now, more confusion
on the streets there's escalation
stop, think, what could happen?
turn around but keep your mind on
what could happen, pure destruction
either you like it or you don't
but somebodies pushing, stabbing you down
either you like it or you don't
but somebodies pushing, stabbing you down
law & order, natural order
obviously out of order
what's to come of my generation?
give the thought some huh! penetration
on the streets there's escalation
conscription soon take over
join the army be a soldier
what's the fight for, law & order?
either you like it or you don't
but somebodies pushing, stabbing you down
either you like it or you don't
but somebodies pushing, stabbing you down
duck & cover in the tower of babel

just like my father who fought in the jungle
he lost a brother, so i lost an uncle
life's a gas, arrgh, life's a scream
in the army, navy, airforce, marines
forward as one
not marching as to war

not marching as to war

What made the truth sound like a lie
Led step by step into desire
Choose to be understanding
Say you don't care when i know you do
I can sleep at night, but each time i try
You know i dream of you
It's murder murder murder
No time for cheap excuses like
"he can't help it" "she can't help it"
Jump out of the bed & straight into the fire
How are you meant to stand it
Stuck in a world that's seen much better days
You can reach for love
Scream till you're red, white and blue in the face
It's murder, murder
Look but don't touch
Murder murder
When he wants you so much
Murder murder
Look but don't touch
Murder murder
When he wants you so much
What made the truth sound like a lie
Jump out of bed & straight into the fire
Choose to be complicated
Say it isn't when you know it is
Always on my mind
Thinking about what you do to his, its
Murder, murder, murder
When he wants you so much
Murder, murder
Look but don't touch
Murder, murder
Oh murder, murder
Look but look but don't touch
Murder
When he wants you, he wants you so much
Murder
It's murder
Murder
It's murder
Cheque in the post, cheque in the post
I'm looking for a world that cures my fears
Wishing that security was here
Forgetting all the rudes + bads + wrongs
Wanting all the wants that make you strong
Those moments when you want to be on top
Knowing there's a day you'll have to stop
Remembering the way i got this far
Write it in ink i'll take it
Cheque in the post
Never know what's coming down your way
Turn time around
To make the bad things go away
Cheque in the post
You nver know what's coming down your way
Some things can make you change your mind
It's not how you do it, it's who you know
Discover all the routes and paths to take
Look out for the cons the sharks and the fakes
I was looking to be free but that came last
Trying to escape but not so fast
Knowing that i'm bound to go astray
Maybe i'll try another

are the lights so bright
that you can't see
how a little taste of everything
could leave you quite this empty?
tell yourself it's not your fault
take the pills with a pinch of salt
makes no difference, makes no bones
it's hard to think with your mouth full of stones
it's too much or nothing
too much or nothing
beside yourself, beside the fire
stare deep into the flames
as if you'll find some sort of answer
tell yourself you'll be alright
pinch yourself with all your might
makes no difference, makes no bones
it's hard to think with your mouth full of stones
it's too much or nothing
there's no inbe- inbetween
too much or nothing
when you're making do with make believe
too much or nothing
living way beyond your dreams
too much or nothing
and now everything's extremely
too much or nothing
too much or nothing
can come in like
too much or nothing
too too too too too too too too too too too too
down & out
too much or nothing
too much or nothing
there's no inbe- inbetween
too much or nothing
when you're making do with make believe
too much or nothing
living way beyond your dreams
too much or nothing
and now everything's extremely
beside yourself, beside the fire
stare deep into the flames
as if you'll find some sort of answer
tell yourself it's all your fault
swallow your pride with a pinch of salt
makes no difference, makes no bones
it's hard to think, it's just hard
to think it's just...
too much or nothing
there's no inbe- inbetween
too much or nothing
when you're making do with make believe
too much or nothing
living way beyond your dreams

too much too much too much
much too much of

you know you're not the only one
who'd like to grab their coat
and just try to run
love without the fun
now can you
just stand and finish what you had begun
now the ...
sun's the moon, and the moon's the sun
how come
it's not that it's not love, but it's love without
love without the fun?
love without the fun
a man change inside
when he holds his gun
no use telling me "keep calm"
when i was the cowboy that died in your arms
now the ...
sun's the moon, and the moon's the sun
how come
we're still disagreeing when we both know
we're wrong? how come
it's not that it's not love, it's a serious one
how come
it's not that it's not love, it's love without
love without the fun?
sometimes it's hard to carry on
you'd like to grab your coat

In conversation in conversation in conversation
In conversation, your mind is acting now
To take what's coming could make you change your mind
Piece of the action, look who's in pieces now
It turns me 'round and around
I'm struggling, i'm waiting, watching for the sidelines
It's obvious i'm chasing, there's got to be an answer
Distraction takes over when i'm deep in conversation
I'm looking & learning
That my heart is running faster all the while
When i say i'm sorry, it's not that i'm afraid
Guess i'll have to guess again
One day it happens, next day it's all at rest
Who made this happen to me?
I'm struggling, i'm waiting, watching for the sidelines
It's obvious i'm chasing, there's got to be an answer
Distraction takes over when i'm deep in conversation
I'm looking & learning
That my heart is running faster all the while
In conversation...
In conversation, our minds are acting now
Let's ask those questions again
Whay am i angry? why am i doing this?
I made this happen to me
I'm struggling, i'm waiting, watching for the sidelines
It's obvious i'm chasing, there's got to be an answer
Distraction takes over when i'm deep in conversation
I'm looking & learning
That my heart is running faster all the while
Aahh aahh aahh aahh

the tips he gets turn out to be rubbish
he's crossed his heart now all roads lead to ruin
his willing ear gets him nowhere
(sit with a drink or think about drugs?)
he's never there, never all there
(escape in a movie, hide in a book?)
never all there
never all there, never all there, never all there
top o' the morning, guess who's broken?
no sense whatever, whenever there's sense
to be spoken
which face to wear, too soft to care
(tell you what's what, i'll tell you who's who)
he's never there, never all there
(bent over backwards, broken in two)
never all there
(his chairs not quite under the table)
never all there, never all there, never all there
never all there
(two kopeks short of a rouble)
never all there, never all there, never all there
which face to wear too soft to care
never all there, never all there
when his willing ear gets him nowhere
his stairs don't go right up to the top floor
would anyone else have seen the mistake
he eats when he's tired 'cos he sleeps when he's hungry
how can he help it?
he's never all there
(his chairs not quite under the table)
never all there, never all there, never all there
never all there
(two housebricks short of a hopful)
never all there, never all there, never all there
which face to wear too soft to care
never all there, never all there
he's never all there, never all there
never all there, never all there
all of his pride and insistence
don't come to a cupful of difference
never all there, never all there
never all there, never all there
don't you think that you've already done enough?
doesn't your mouth ever stop
soft focussing on what you insist on calling love?
well i hope it comes along to shut you up
it's a sad but natural fact
there's something deep inside
that stays lonely forever
it's a sad but lonely fact
it all comes right in time
don't cry on your own shoulder
cry on your own shoulder
cry on your own shoulder
don't fight it's just a feeling like the rest
tell me what else had you expected
an endless array of wide and ever opening doors?
hah!
you take that much that you can take no more
now it's a sad but natural fact
there's something deep inside
that stays lonely forever
it's a sad but natural fact
it's just a waste of time
don't cry on, don't cry on, don't cry on
cry on your own shoulder
cry on your own shoulder
cry on your own shoulder
couldn't even lie straight in your bed
reach out for yet another, another cigarette
oh help me to forget
the sting of remembering things
was that the dreadful sirens call?
get up and watch the buildings start to fall
look if we don't set our minds
to try and save this pretty world
soon there won't be anything left
don't you think that you've already done enough?
stop soft focussing on what you insist on calling love
well i hope it comes along to shut you up
to shut you up, shut you up, just to shut you up
look it's a sad but natural fact
natural fact, natural fact
there's something deep inside
that stays lonely forever
it's a sad but natural fact
it's a pantomime
don't cry on, don't cry on, don't cry on
cry on your own shoulder
cry on your own shoulder
don't cry on your own shoulder
