1.accidently kelly street
here's a door and
here's a window
here's the celling
here's the floor
the room is lit like
a black and white movie
the t.v.'s on, that's what it's for
and if you walk real slowly
you can feel the planet breathe
there's no need to feel so lowly
now that we've all learned to give
accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
I never thought life
could be so sweet
in the garden birds are singing
the sun is shining on the path
the wind is talking to the flowers
the dogs and cats all take a bath
and if you stop that talking
you can hear the traffic sigh
throw away those keys
start walking, and watch those
tiny things go by
it's sunday everyday
and there's no need to rush around
inside of everybody there's sun
and laughter to be found
it seems that we're on holidays
and sleeping in is not a sin
all the housework's done by teatime
I'm feeling good about
the way I've been
perhaps this optimism
will crash on down
like a house of cards
I know that my decision
to change my life was not that hard
2.Bizarre Love Triangle
Every time I think of you I get a shot right through
into a bolt of blue.
it's no problem of mine ,but it's a problem I find.
Living a life that I can't leave behind.
There're no senses in telling me
the wisdom of a fool won't set you free.
But that's the way that it goes
and it's what nobody knows.
And every day my confusion grows.
CHORUS
Everytime I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray.
I'll waiting for the final moment.
You say the words that I can't say.
I feel fine and I feel good.
I feel like I never should.
Whenever I get this way I just don't know what to say.
Why can we be ourselvers like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean.
I don't think you're what you seem.
I do admit to myself that if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be.
3.cuscatlan
i love my country
but it wears a uniform
it speaks with foreign guns
in the background you can almost hear
the sound of intervention
and i don't know when liberty fell
but we rang every mission bell
for a world that wouldn't listen
i don't want to die
i'm as innocent as anybody
i don't even know how to spell
revolutionary
jesus in the sky
the bullets in the guns
you don't even now that we
mean by repression
blood is the colour of the sunset
you walked into the darkness
i did not hear your last breath
there will not be an inquest
this is not human interest
we danced the dirt with
surrender for our drumbeat
danced for the balance sheet
died for the kind of lasting peace
that pleases the world policeman
and fatherland raped motherhood
and told her it was for the global good
and now we ring the mission bell
to warn their children
4.explode
the telephone's a terrorist
i'm not even listening
i'm walking with an audience
what isn't an accident
suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
i'm waiting to hear the worst words
explode into love at my ear
this is not my skin
i was invited in
a sweeter singer
than anything
suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
what's worse than my fears
the worst words explode
fear is my atmosphere
falling is frightening
i don't know what you're doing here
you are like my lightening
suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
suddenly pure the worst words
explode into love at my ear
5.girl
a girl is the word
that she hasn't heard
the truth is tiptoeing the edge of her skirt
the traffic's a blur
the street's a river
she's bigger and braver than she is clever
see it's her!
a mind so complex
it's breaking her neck
she thinks she's a car
driving to its own wreck
too wild and cool, vulnerable
to think one could change her
that's where I'm a fool
won't you see it's her!
a girl is a verb
a whirl of colour
in doing she's being
she never thought she was thinking
anything you could
see it's her!
6.labour of love
am i fooling you?
do you fall for it all
or do you just see right through?
are you as cool as you believe?
are you playing hard?
are you waiting just to quietly clock my card?
are you waiting for a moment to leave?
i don't know how bent what you said
to what i believe you meant
i don't know anything at all
i'm standing in the push and shove
and i'm just within the rescue
of the labour of your love
i can't do anything but fall
why do i feel like i can never find you?
why do i feel like i'm the only survivor?
why am i thinking of-
you and me and the labour of love
one chance of one shot
that's all anybody ever got
newborn still warm
naked in the rush hour
dancing in my gutter
and if you want to find me
call me, i'll be far from
the cars and guitars and
everybody
and i never knew before
but i feel like a child in a cold cold war
so strong, so tough
sitting in suburbia
waiting for the wind up
7.lonely
am i real and what do i feel
hate is half a heart
only i am in my arms
you were sold for something to hold
nothing's as rude as the cold
stupidly beautifoolish true you
maybe madness is a heart
maybe heaven is a habit
if i could fly i'd live in the sky
i come from why and obviously you do too
the very start of everything hard
could be the slip of a fingertip
8.most beautiful
wide open eye
you serious?
you delirious?
kissing chaos
have you got a heart?
you could really lose it in the
super-people-mart
you are the most beautiful thing I know
and the most beautiful thing is
when I hear your heartbeat
will human be dumb and free
or some amazing catastrophe
never too scared to bare
to care to runnig to the riot
where the moment meets
the most beautiful thing I know
and the most beautiful thing
something new I dunno why
I know all there is I know
where is your how?
holding up your frown
a prop to stop you smiling now
heaven or the heather
or the miracles of weather
but you listen to
the most beautiful thing I know
and the most beautiful thing
darling
is when you hear your heartbeat
is when I hear your heart
9.no time
you know you never know yourself
all the years you've lived
you could be someone else
and all the times you've been alone
all the lies you told
now haunt your perfect spacious home
and now there's no time
it's not such a crime
to say you don't love her
all those awkward silences over breakfast
as you fumble with your toast
you know the magic's gone for good
little things get on your nerves
that never worried you before
and you swore
it would never happen to you
and you said
you'd always be so true
10.ordinary angels
you get the world for your birthday baby
open your eyes and say yes, no, maybe
the box ticks on, the core is a bomb
the world is silent
but you listen like a lover to it
sometimes a mirror's a miracle
sometimes it's nothing at all
in this reflection even angels fall
you could fly anytime
ordinary people
it's okay
you don't have to wear those wings
they're stupid things
i know some dizzy but easy heights
don't stop your life at the lights
don't be smart, be a beginner
don't be wrong even when it's right
ordinary people
it's okay
we're not watching anyway
it's okay
11.pretty friend
there's a girl i know with a poison rose
she's gonna bring her
i suppose
everybody's got a pretty friend
the words they buy
the time they spend
goodnight
when her friend's around
she disappears
amid the broken stems
and tears
it's a bitter pill
and it's hard to swallow
she could take the lead
but she never follows
the bed of roses
turns to nails
the best laid plans
always fall
12.reflect
when we are together
we journey to the sea
i am always at the wheel
that's what you say to me
when we reach the water
and can you tell me
when my face is wet
look, look in the mirror
for the bounce and spark
of the butt you've thrown
don't turn around
you're a long way from home
you look in my wardrobe
and tell me what i've done
you say that my mind
is as dark as trodden boards
you say i don't understand
but at least i know it
did you see yourself in me
and hide away in fright?
13.see / believe
hi, i'm an ordinary organism
and i was kinda lining the walls
in a warzone, slamdance, backbeat
poison and meandering
i hear the little voice say
baby are you all alone?
i get ready for the dangerous behaviour
i feel the pull of my genetic code
sometimes what you see
makes you holler for your saviour
especially the babies
all set to explode
i look up past the jewelry
the ecstasy, the insanity
i count the knifes
count the teeth in her smile
people are just animals
angry, hungry
they falter for an instant
then you see the child and you
say-
i love you baby
love you every single little bit
i love your walk, your talk
your smile, your style, your tits
i love the way you swing that
circumstance around
you could ask me again
and i would bow down but...
i see you but i don't believe you
