I don't believe in resurrection
Superstition seems to plague my garden
Broken mirrors on my dancefloor
Sinking ships that seem to fill my harbour
And I
Forever cast aside,
lost among the piles and piles never thought to wonder why
These lines rehearsed a thousand times to see all this
through different eyes, but its too late to wonder why
You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't end
each day on a bitter note, to carry the weight with nothing to show
Angels don't watch broken homes
Loving words from tongues so sharp,
big bad world it breaks your
heart, ooh how I know I've seen it before
Angels don't watch broken homes
I don't believe that love is blind
The bitter taste I know too well I've seen it all a thousand times
Breaking waves that hit the sand
Bring me news that chills my heart, turns to fire in my hands
And I
Forever cast aside,
lost among the piles and piles never thought to wonder why
These lines tore open my mind to try again on
different times, but it's too late to wonder why
You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't end
each day on a bitter note, to carry the weight with nothing to show
Angels don't watch broken homes
Loving words from tongues so sharp,
big bad world it breaks your
heart, ooh how I know I've seen it before
Angels don't watch broken homes

Blue Arsed Fly

If all the world was a stage and this play would sell out
every night Funny old clichés in my brain that you up at night
If not from love you do it
You'd keep a poor man to it
Yeah, I'm the kind of guy
That comes to waste your precious time
Was it something that I said thats got you
down on your knees breathing your last gasp in mind
It gives you peace of mind to see me down on my knees
Breaking like a Blue Arsed Fly
Sweet dreams of bad company I keep
nobody knows you when you're up that creek
Solitude my symphony in grief
It takes a gentle hand for me to understand
Everything you say
If not from love you do it
You'd keep a poor man to it
Yeah, I'm the kind of guy
That comes to waste your precious time
Was it something that I said thats got you
down on your knees breathing your last gasp in mind
It gives you peace of mind to see me down on my knees
Breaking like a Blue Arsed Fly

Diamond in the Rough
03:33

You'd better dance
Or get danced on
Make slave no woman imprison no man
You'd better fly so far
God gave you wings now he wants you to soar
You'd better run, you'd better hide
Now the water comes in
Go out with that tide
Locked up with your ball and chain
No people, no nation an Island of Shame
And you're looking for gold
Searching for jewels, all I'm finding is too many fools
We need a preacher, or so they say
All that I know
Even God needs to get payed
And I'm your Diamond in the Rough
Bury me deep because you think that I'm dirt
You don't know what it's worth
To try so hard to break away
You'd better dance
Or get danced on
Make slave no woman imprison no man
You'd better fly so far
God gave you wings now he wants you to soar
You'd better run, you'd better hide
Now the water comes in
Go out with that tide
And I'm your Diamond in the Rough
Bury me deep because you think that I'm dirt
You don't know what it's worth
To try so hard to break away

Filth
02:59

D'you want to make it our last dance
Our last romance before it all so cruelly slips away
D'you want to try and dig a little deeper
As keeper of my heart I really must concede
That's really something that keeps you up at night
That bitter disappointment that you keep locked up inside
You said that you would help me if you had the time
But you just cut my arms as I tried to climb to safety up above
I've fallen out of love with this Filth
But right outside my door
The girl with the weight upon her shoulders has it all
But she can't take it anymore
D'you want to make it our last dance
Our last romance before it all so cruelly slips away
D'you want to try and dig a little deeper
As keeper of my heart I really must concede
I've fallen out of love with this Filth
But right outside my door
The girl with the weight upon her shoulders has it all
But she can't take it anymore

Foolish Me

Give me a smile before I go away
Before I fall from grace too easy
Give me your hand before I stray too far
From this beaten path I wander
Do you ever feel buried six feet to your knees
Won't you help me please?
I've been chasing my own bootheels
That boys' falling, drifting away
To crumble and die without any cause
Don't wake me tonight
Those patterns on my bedsheets
They still stain my eyes
Crushing my pride
Aw, Foolish Me
Let stray my hand
Have I gone too far this time
Aw, Foolish Me
Who said I got it wrong
Throw me overboard
Give me a smile before I go away
Before I fall from grace too easy
Give me your hand before I stray too far
From this beaten path I wander
Aw, Foolish Me
Let stray my hand
Have I gone too far this time
Aw, Foolish Me
Who said I got it wrong
Throw me overboard

What's a boy to do?!?
03:09

Lose my mind throw myself away
To the dogs I got chasing on my tail
Been so restless for so long
Find me someplace where I can belong
Whoa oh oh oh oh
What's a boy to do?!?
When he spends too much time all locked up in his room
Whoa oh oh oh oh
My my my
Chasing shadow and he wakes up in the Dead of Night
So unsteady today,
I go outside and bang my ankles up against the pavement
To go out tonight or stay in?
I'm all too lazy, anyway
I've got to catch up on my drinking
Whoa oh oh oh oh
What's a boy to do?!?
When he spends too much time all locked up in his room
Whoa oh oh oh oh
My my my
Chasing shadow and he wakes up in the Dead of Night

These Days (She Says)
03:25
|

It was the softest blow that hurt the most
The sweetest girl that I had known
She struck me down
Now all girls you kissed in vain
The foreign beds in which you lay
It's not quite the same
Those days of silence that broke your heart
The damn cold shoulder tears any man apart
How could he be fearless when it's such a waste of time
If you don't love me anymore with tears in my eyes
But I must've asked a hundred times
The reason I can't sleep tonight
Don't pretend you don't know
Yeah, tonight I write the saddest lines
I'd loved a girl and that's alright, but not anymore
These days, she says
I won't see you in the morning, ‘cause I don't want to stay
If you're not coming home at all, why don't you let me know
Because I'll miss you now you're gone
But the Grapes of Wrath, they spoiled your wine
What do you do, you're out of time, it marrs my mind
But yeah, I know all about these things, you've run away
Oh deary me, that's quite shame
But as it stands, all my plans and schemes
The places that they said we'd never get to see
So hand in hand, a better man
Who was pals with all the lads
Took you from my arms
These days, she says
I won't see you in the morning, ‘cause I don't want to stay
If you're not coming home at all, why don't you let me know
Because I'll miss you now you're gone

Mothers Arms
03:06

|
Well, you're lonely as a smoker in the rain outside a bar
Useless as a woodsman whos' seen the last tree fall
Start again on Monday when you find another job
And you're steady as a drinker who drank up every drop
Quiet in a corner, convinced he used to have it all
I don't have any money but I can say I've loved and lost
If night has got the time how often is it blind to you?
If you should decline, I won't mind
Now I'm spending all my time waiting for the sun to rise
If I'm wasting time these days
Seeking out shelter from the rain
How did I fall from my Mothers Arms
Are you doing all these things just to cause me harm?
You're solemn as a church-mouse who gave a dying breath
Praying for a saviour and for better days ahead
You're trapped by tales your mama gave you
And thats no way to end
If night has got the time how often is it blind to you?
If you should decline, I won't mind
Now I'm spending all my time waiting for the sun to rise
If I'm wasting time these days
Seeking out shelter from the rain
How did I fall from my Mothers Arms
Are you doing all these things just to cause me harm?
You're tender as a lover who gave up everything
Guilty as a songbird, made to cry and not to sing
You savoured every moment with the wind beneath your wings

Preacher
02:18

|
The birds and the bees can fly so easily
They got their wings to fly on
But I don't ever seem to have the luxury
Of anyone to rely on
A word full of wisdom ain't no solace for the wise
I had religion but I cast all that aside
I could've been a preacher but I had to sell my soul
Or run away, don't want to be alone
She smiles like a siren, screams like a witch
All eyes on you but that don't scratch my itch
Nine lives, I'll use them all on you
Make me a promise I'm coming after you
A word full of wisdom ain't no solace for the wise
I had religion but I cast all the aside
I could've been a preacher but I had to sell my soul
Or run away, don't want to be alone
All eyes on you but that don't scratch my itch
Nine lives, I'll use them all on you
Make me a promise I'm coming after you

Something Wonderful
02:50
|

Tell me, tell me, tell me
What do you see when you look into the mirror?
Those blue eyes are as deep as seas
Took me by surprise
It takes a bigger man than me
That man wasn't me, no that man wasn't me
I saw the stars call out to me
How could I refuse?
Don't you, don't you, don't you know it
You've blown it this time
I find it fiercely hard to see
How a man can go so very blind so quickly
There ain't no colour in my eyes
Every thought I had got stolen and sacrificed
Like the tortured masses cries
It ain't so funny
But still it made me smile tonight
Is it Something Wonderful you've done tonight
Really do you think so?
My my my
Lord save me
