I vow that it's goodbye I vow that it's goodbye & God bless why did we have to assume we're exactly the same? o no talking about yourself I vow that it's goodbye to the old ways those stories were a good read they were dumb as well I could never be seen falling down on my knees crawling o no talk about a sell o as the heavens shudder baby I belong to you o they said you get what you deserve & all they said was true so is this what it's come to? am I cold or just a little bit warm? o well give me an easy life & a peaceful death

burning questions we are told they've gone out time you learned your lesson we all know that tell me boys are you out there? the flesh is weak & the mind slow by now you could say there's a problem & it rained down on me & it seemed to get into me it poured down over me I'm wet through but I still want more peace love now what? don't go telling me you've had them o delighted we all know we won't be alive any more & by now you could say there's a problem & it rained down on me & it seemed to get into me I'm soaked to my skin I'm wet through I really ought to be in will you let me have a sign? & somebody ought to reply we'll take anything at all understand me? fun times we have known that's what we're like we've just taken them all & I still don't remember how I got home don't tell me where we're going now I know we won't be alive any more
& she's walking on the edge of a knife & she knows it's the death of her Sarah you live & you learn you're invisible & she's walking on the edge of a crowd late at night you can never tell town from town sounds of England swallow you down makes you want to laugh could a heaven on earth be ours here & now? & she says "what's in my palm? read between the lines give me something to savour can you do that? cos I'll believe anything" & I say when you're hoping for some more from your life shouldn't wonder you've had enough & in my town sounds of England swallow you down & a heaven on earth is all ours but not now I tell you when a heaven on earth is all ours come on down
looking for an insult there's a trickle in my head seeing it's worth the effort I forgive myself talks that we had are becoming a blur if only I could love my neighbour waiting here for the next time with a bottle in my hand doing it for the exercise I forget myself the face that you had is becoming a blur but how was I supposed to know that? because God made me that's all they told me before & how about you? & it's off to work we go now you can forget about a labour of love it just won't wash anymore we'd love to be good but we'd rather be bad but how was I supposed to know that? because God made me that's all they told me before & how about you? because God made people that was the luck of the draw we do what we want God made me that's what they told me before who knows what they'll say today? because God made me for his sins imagine my eyes when I first saw we can do what we want how could I know? how could I know about it?

I've felt better so kill me with love just love yourself like no one else time's so scarce where I come from let them say what they like cos they still can't take your love

I'm sick as a dog but I'll just say this you're as sick as I am so what do you think about me? what do you think about me? everyone around me is driving me mad here I go along this road feeling I don't want to slow down these days of obsession I need a night off because life's too dear let me show you my photographs see me work see me rest see me play o I'm sure I had it better back then so what do you think about me? I couldn't live without me but everything about me is driving me mad here I go along this road feeling I don't want to slow run so hard I lose my breath one thing I don't want to know now these days of obsession delirious & uncertain still & will they always stay uncertain still?
few true cares have I as the world turns round I was blind but now I'm still blind too few cares have I as the world turns sour I was blind but now I'm still blind I liked you for 24 hours in your house & when the time has come to live again I shall & I liked you for 24 hours in your house & now the time has come to live again I shall I liked you but that was before why me? I never knew then & I don't know now o the things you do all come back to you that's why I hung back but I'll say what I like now
when people say it's sad you know it can't be bad & on any other day I'd be soul destroyed but now I can't afford to listen to a word they say & of all the times we had o the ultimate late night didn't taste right true words that I should know blood on my hands when you looked around I couldn't be found a crime's a crime I'll have to pay now I find that I'm thigh deep too young for the worst of my mind you whispered behind me "if I may make so bold" call it young & wild but I ran a mile in a minute & there's no going back true words that I should know blood on my hands when you looked around I couldn't be found a crime's a crime I'll have to pay true words I said to myself as the wind chilled my bones "home alone you call that a late night?" when people say you're dead you know you caught their eye & on any other day I'd be soul destroyed but that's just not the way now I don't mind telling you nothing is quite what it seems true words that I should know must have been blood on my hands when you look around I couldn't be found a crime's a crime but I don't mind true words that I should know well but surely by now I could say to myself "the days are getting longer so I better get stronger fast" surely by now?
dig down to the earth here outside lose my mind here any day now don't be sad we're only half way there o no that's what I call home you remember the hills we slithered down "I'm not going anywhere" you lied hell on my own hell here on my own & don't go imagining that time is medicine mark those days & swallow your pills proud of my wise head on young shoulders too bad there was nothing there at all hell on my own hell here on my own & it was such a really cold hand I held as the wind sighed "I'm not going & how could I lie?" just be glad there's no way back there I need another look at before though heaven knows how I'd ever make my way back there & I need another look at before although heaven knows how I'd ever make my way back there now I know it's hopeless & I realise it's nowhere hell here on my own
Childhood living is easy to do The things that you wanted I bought them for you Graceless lady you know who I am you know I can't let you just slide through my hands Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild horses couldn't drag me away I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain and now you decided just to show me the same No sweeping exits or off-stage lines can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away Faith has been broken tears must be cried Let's do some living after we die Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday Wild, wild horses we'll ride them someday
