Lyrics

Let Me Go

Lover, I love you, I’ll be thinking of you
Each time someone lies in my bed
A loser, a liar, I do what’s required
To revive something that was born dead

I’m here and I’m holding on
Bathed in the afterglow
I’m here and I’m holding on
It’s all I’ll ever know
If it’s easier then let me go

I’ll be your shoulder to cry on, my heart is made of iron
Can’t wait till your little lover leaves town
I cheated, I stole and I will crawl into this hole
And watch as you come following me down

I’m here and I’m holding on
Bathed in the afterglow
I’m here and I’m holding on
It’s all I’ll ever know
If it’s easier then let me go

I shifted the blame, deleted your name
Relinquished all claims, you should know
But lover, I love you, I’ll be thinking of you
If it’s easier then let me go

Bullet

From the ghost of your kiss to the bloodstone in your chest
A femme fatale disguised as a damsel in distress
I caught the scent of cordite, the heat began to rise
You're a bullet between the eyes

And I got the kind of hunger only you could satisfy
Heart-broken, wide open for a bullet between the eyes

Your touch is like no torture humankind could ever devise
You turn me into someone I can hardly recognise
You're a bullet between the eyes

I caught the scent of cordite, the buzzing of the flies
You're a bullet between the eyes

And I got the kind of hunger only you could satisfy
Let my heart start pumping petrol and the heat is on the rise
You're a bullet between the eyes

What You Need

You don't need to say you're hurting
You don't need to say you're tired
Nothing's right and nothing's working
I can see it in your eyes
It hits me like machine gun fire
A feeling so lost and wild
Something so wired and nervous
I could make this right

Tell me what you need
Whatever you want, whatever you do
Tell me what you need
Cos now I need you

Reflections of reflections
There's nothing we can use
Wanna burn away these reasons
It's all we have to do
Lover, if this is war
What are we waiting for?
Come on throw down your guns
We've both been here before

Tell me what you need
Whatever I was, whatever I knew
Tell me what you need
Now I need you

Whatever you desire
Return to the fire, the furnace of the two of us
I will never leave
Tell me what you need

A Beautiful Bride

Bet you were a beautiful bride on your wedding day
Bet your daddy was sad he had to give you away
Bet your mother cried, bet she almost died
Bet she hid a tear as she drew you near and said you were a beautiful bride

Bet the vicar kissed you, how could he resist you?
How could he fail once he'd made the sale to wish you had a sister?
Bet he took a drop too much, told himself he shouldn't touch
Bet deep inside he was thinking you'd make him a beautiful bride

So calm, so dignified
You could have split the atom, you could have turned the tide
The universe was open wide
They sang a hymn, you promised him to stay forever by his side
A beautiful bride

But we can't foresee the future or rewrite history
Who would have thought after just two years
Of blood and sweat and toil and tears
You would be my beautiful divorcee

Ghosts

Let's just make a new beginning
Don't stop me don't remind me
I won't look at other women
Life stretches out behind me

I am playing with ghosts

And these are someone else's memories
Pieces of a man I used to be
This is someone else's memory
And it don't belong to me

And if the eyes are windows to the soul
Mine is shot with blood and yellowed
And if the hands are windows to the soul
Mine is scarred and chewed and cold

I am playing with ghosts

And these are someone else's memories
Pieces of a man I used to be
This is someone else's happiness
And it don't belong to me

There won't be a new beginning
Don't stop me, don't remind me
I'll keep looking at other women
Life stretches gloriously out behind me


The First Kiss Matters Most

get down & suffer / I knew she would make me an offer / I wish I could make the first kiss matter most / do I still fit this skin? here comes another ghost / suddenly your heart stopped / suddenly I woke up / suddenly this fantasy is killing me / got me on my knees / on my knees / tonight / ella es muerta / I knew she would be / colder than ice water / I wish I could maybe just confess / with passing time it hurts more, not less / suddenly your heart stopped / suddenly this tragedy is killing me / got me on my knees / I'm sorry / & I won't be here again / everything I could have been / reflected back at me in shocking clarity / with blue eyes glazing / both barrels blazing / suddenly your heart stopped / suddenly I see / I'm sorry

Deadtown Dance

if this is our last dance let's make it one they won't forget / for all the noise & all the poison this is not their world (yet) / & as the roof came down / no-one made a sound /& as the tides rose / everybody froze /& as the sky turned red, everybody said /“we're going down / down to deadtown” / the prince of darkness is a gentleman / he soothes & subdues / smooth-talking sadist making offers I cannot refuse / & as the roof came down / no-one made a sound / & as the tides rose / everybody froze / & as the sky turned red / everybody said / “we're going down / down to deadtown”

Hesitate

honey don't hesitate to breathe life into me / honey don't hesitate / I've found time finally / loudspeakers crackle and slur / while my world hesitates / oh why d'you hesitate? / screaming / daring you to choose / bleeding / burning up for you / so I got secrets? what's to lose? / cos maybe you do too / honey don't hesitate / you've believed once before / honey don't hesitate to believe me once more / you taste like jagged sweet dreams and it seems / like passions old / white roses and white gold / why hesitate

 Let's Crawl (Lies & Damned Lies)

my love / tell me 2 things / lies & damned lies / only ever tell me 2 things / lies & damned lies / how do I love thee? / my love, let me count the ways / crawl under the covers / of all that we've been to each other & pray / let's crawl / come on, let's crawl / I see our past through the bottom of a glass / mentirosa / when you're alone my sweet / grief eats at your bones / mentirosa / how do I love thee? / my love, let me count the ways / crawl under the covers / of all that we've been to each other & pray / let's crawl / come on let's crawl / through our damned lies / through our damned lies

Your Lover

you whisper “baby” & kiss me soft / I step right back / I hold my hands aloft in mock surrender / the colours bleed right out of me / I condescend & still pretend I'm everything you need / you don't like liars? honey, that's just fine / I'm sick of me & you & mostly sick of lying / I'm tired, sweetheart, of your need to share / your dirty looks / your self-help books / your vicious prayers / no more your lover / no more your lover / well, we could fix this but stitches leave scars / the gap between all that we've been & who we are is getting wider / & I won't be shocked / if ugly memories of me are all you've got / no more your lover / no more your lover / feels just like dying / you're dead to me / so tell me lover, which you prefer / us the way we are or us the way we were?

Lick Up The Honey, Stranger

you say is that lipstick or blood on your shirt / whatever I tell you it's still gonna hurt / the face in the mirror means less every day / fill up the longing or blow me away / lick up the honey, stranger / & ask no questions / I am statistic / so faithless & free / staining the pages with apologies / the company car / the shirt on my back / eyes on horizons / blue skies turn black / lick up the honey, stranger / & ask no questions

The Camera Loves You

I'm dreaming demons for you /I want / I wanted / I wake up screaming for you / I want / I wanted / the camera loves you / I'm inside / above you & under / I feel alive / the camera loves you & I'm inside / confess it freely / you're all I've wanted / I'm way past praying for / I want / I wanted a cloudy mouthful from bloody lips / a riot of flesh at my fingertips / the camera loves you & all this bliss / inside / & I know it's too soon /& your lover still in the next room / I know I belong at the heart of love that feels this wrong / the camera loves you / I'm inside / above you & under / I feel alive / the stitches twitch / you pull me in / eclipse / & lips & wondrous sins / the camera loves you & I'm within

Nightmares

got 3 bullets for you & me & everybody else /a buyers market / & yet so dark it starts to feel like hell (oh well) / another wasted life / how & when did I get so numb / yes we gotta pay the price of freedom / something's out there & it scares me / all my favourite nightmares / something's out there & it scares you / all our favourite nightmares will come true / got 3 bullets for you & me & everyone we love / armageddon fills my head / & somebody's playing god / the leaders of the free world said / “turn your back & face the wall” / stain the clouds in dust & red / it's our holy war / something's out there & it scares me / all my favourite nightmares / something's out there & it scares you / all our favourite nightmares will come true / point the finger / pull the trigger / turn your back & face the wall / got a figure we can work with / got three bullets for us all

A Heartful Of Morphine

lady, I'm your exquisite masochist / fulfilled as pleasure & danger intertwist /& it feels like we both might disintegrate / seductive, destructive, too late to save / falling / winter gets into my head / falling / just like my enemies said / fall in between / I need a heartful of morphine / & your mouth opens like a flower for me / you're more beautiful by the hour to me / assassin / we're passing into the night / days flash by like cats eyes in black & white / so forgive me for all that I've been / I'll avenge us both & wash our lives clean / no mistake / no heartache / will remain

Shadow Prayer

tear the pages out / take the pictures down / all of the words from you will go unread / the man that you sent them to / that man is dead / the clock is counting up & onwards to the dawn / you said you had reasons / well they're only reasons / we are just dust, you said / & you were right / I never forget / your shadow always clings & lingers / like smoke from the cigarette burning down between my fingers / I'm praying to a god I don't believe in / the sun's an evil rose blooming through the clouds / a lovers' hunger is nothing to him / if I'm going under it won't mean a thing / I never forget / your shadow always clings & lingers / like smoke from the cigarette burning down between my fingers / I'm praying to a god I don't believe in / I'm praying
