1.Signal And Sign
Well I've been waiting here for hours,
It's getting cold, position closed,
A new direction, a new dawn,
Consider this my formal complaint
I hope you felt cheated at home,
With all your lies, lies, lies, lies, lies
How long has it taken for you,
To look so fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
Don't waste your life, just go outside
Well I've been waiting to forget,
How the pieces all fell away,
You've left your home town, where you grew up,
I hadn't noticed how your accent had changed
Tell me did these lonely hands,
Rob your time, time, time, time, time
When was the signal divorced,
From the sign, sign, sign, sign, sign
Illumination and accusation,
I'd love to meet her but she wont see me
2.Apply Some Pressure
You know that I would love to see you next year
I hope that I am still alive next year
You magnify the way I think about myself
before you came I rarely thought about myself
Behind your veil I found a body underneath
inside your head were things I never thought about
you know that I would love to see you next year
I hope that I am still alive next year
What's my view?
well how am I supposed to know
write a review
well how objective can I be
X2
you know that I would love to see you in that dress
I hope that I will live to see you undressed
the every day is part of what consumes me
the hate I feel is part of what fuels me
I testify to having guilty feelings
I must confess I'd like to be caught stealing
you know that I would love to see you in that dress
I hope that I will live to see you undressed
What's my view?
Well how am I supposed to know?
Write a review
Well how objective can I be?
X2
I like to wait to see how things turn out
If you apply some pressure
X2
What happens when you lose everything
you just start again
you start all over again
X2
I like to wait to see how things turn out
If you apply some pressure
X2
What happens when you lose everything
you just start again
you start all over again
X3
What happens when you lose some pressure
apply some pressure you lose some pressure
apply some pressure you lose some pressure
apply some pressure you lose some pressure
X2
You know that I would love to see you next year
I hope that I am still alive next year
You know that I would love to see you in that dress
I hope that I will live to see you undressed
3.Graffiti
Well that's enough I can't take anymore,
I'm right out of vision I'm right out of hope,
You set me up to just knock me down,
What's on your conscience nothing happens in my town
I'll do graffiti if you sing to me in French,
What are we doing here if romance isn't dead,
Mind your mouth as you walk with me,
Take care ooh as you cross the street
Well that's enough I've had it up to here,
I've lost my vision I've lost my hope,
You work me up just to hand me down,
You've lost your conscience cos nothing happens in my town
I'll do graffiti if you sing to me in French,
What are we doing here if romance isn't dead,
Stay in line on the foreign trip,
Waking up when I need a lift
I'll do graffiti if you sing to me in French,
What are we doing here if romance isn't dead,
Stay in line on the foreign trip,
Waking up when I need a lift
4.Postcard Of A Painting
I'm losing more than I'll ever have,
I'm losing more than I'll ever give,
I'm losing more than I'll ever have,
I'm losing more than I'll ever give to you
Picture me with you but you couldn't do it,
Everything I said was true but I couldn't prove it
Your eyes are big when they're so close,
Why can't we say goodbye in public,
Your eyes are big when they're so close,
Why can't we say goodbye in public
Picture me with you but you couldn't do it,
Everything I said was true but I couldn't prove it,
And I'll admit there was a web but it wasn't me who spun it,
Now I've made my bed but you wouldn't lie down in it
I wrote my feelings down in a rush,
I didn't even check the spelling,
And closed the postcard of a painting
You are just another thing that I have yet to fathom,
Oooh you are just another thing I've yet to fathom
And I'm losing more than I'll ever have,
I'm losing more than I'll ever give to you
Picture me with you but you couldn't do it,
Everything I said was true but I couldn't prove it,
And I'll admit there was a web but it wasn't me who spun it,
Now I've made my bed but you wouldn't lie down in it
5.Going Missing
I sleep with my hands across my chest,
And I dream of you with someone else,
I feed my body with things that I don't need,
Until I sink to the bottom,
Don't act like it came as a surprise,
Don't believe me even look into these eyes
This cant go on so I should just,
Regret it, regret it, regret it,
And even though I left you I'll,
Forget it, forget it, forget it
I'm going missing for a while,
I've got nothing left to lose,
Oooh I'll listen to anything
I still remember how you moved,
And I can taste your scent on my lips,
Well how it started I will never know,
But now I've reached my limit
This cant go on so I should just,
Regret it, regret it, regret it,
And even though I left you I'll,
Forget it, forget it, forget it
I'm going missing for a while,
I've got nothing left to lose,
Oooh I'll listen to anything,
I'm going missing for a while,
I've got nothing left to lose,
Oooh I'll listen to anything
Do you ever want to wear your body out,
Until there's nothing left to take,
The one began to push away,
As midnight come to soon again
I'm going missing for a while,
I've got nothing left to lose,
Oooh I'll listen to anything,
I've got nothing in defence,
I've got nothing left to lose,
Oooh I'll listen to anything
I sleep with my hands across my chest,
And I dream of you with someone else
6.I Want You To Stay
I rewrite my life beneath the moonlight,
Please hold me now till my breath runs out,
There are many things that I am not,
But there's one thing that I cant deny
A double bluff you fed me lines,
The shortest cut you're searching for,
A mesh of tones surround your eyes,
I wish I knew how it came to this
I always said you could rely on me,
Now it seems that I was wrong,
I want you to stay,
I want you to stay with me
Cos nothing works round here,
Where cranes collect the sky,
I long for the neon signs of night,
Cos nothing works round here,
You know the way I feel,
Can you remember what we had?
Why do you think I over take?
I speak to you and you say no,
A camera runs just to collect,
I wish I knew how it came to this
The lies we tell are bound on film,
And you start to push your lips to mine,
Outside my room you closed your eyes,
And in the end it came to this
I always said you could rely on me,
Now it seems that I was wrong,
I want you to stay,
I want you to stay with me
Cos nothing works round here,
Where cranes collect the sky,
I think of your face at night,
Cos nothing works round here
You know the way I feel
Can you remember what we had?
As time gets more compressed,
You're always my reminder,
A lifetime disappears,
Can you remember what we had?
As time gets more compressed,
You're always my reminder,
You're always my reminder
You know the way I feel,
You know the way I feel
7.Limassol
Thinking clearly never came,
As easy as it did for you,
Driving this route out of town,
I wish you were still around,
And in the dead of night I always,
wondered whether you were true,
Someone better than myself,
An offer you just cant turn down,
A morning fight,
And a wasted night,
You crept back to your room
Run along back to your new man
Limassol, hold on I couldn't trap you,
We're gonna head for new horizons,
Limassol
When its all good keep things close at hand
I could never bear to hear you,
Struggling against the tide,
Promises I couldn't keep,
I couldn't admit I was in too deep
Saw the lights on in your window,
Even though they'd said you'd gone,
The darker nights have come again,
Quicker than the year before
A morning fight,
A wasted night,
You slipped back to your room
You better run away back to your new man
Limassol, hold on I could never catch you,
We're gonna head for new horizons,
Limassol
When its all good keep things close at hand,
When its all good you've gotta keep things close at hand
8.The Coast Is Always Changing
I've met so many people who look the same,
Most were forgotten but you still remain,
Most of the time I don't care,
But London's so far away when you're there,
And so it saddens me to say,
I'm only happy when I move away
I am young and I am lost,
Every sentence has its cost,
I am young and I am lost,
You react to my riposte
We look out upon the sea
We look out upon the sea,
The coast is always changing,
I'll bring my camera out to sea,
The coast is always changing
Age makes no difference till you open your mouth,
Use your time just to work things out,
I know that you can't understand,
When I tell you that this wasn't planned,
And so it saddens me to say,
I'm only happy when I move away
I am young and I am lost,
Every sentence has its cost,
I am young and I am lost,
You react to my riposte
We look out upon the sea
We look out upon the sea,
The coast is always changing,
We'll take the train out to the sea,
My heart is always changing
It won't be long before you've gone,
I can't imagine leaving X4
We look out upon the sea
We look out upon the sea,
The coast is always changing,
I'll bring my camera out to sea,
My heart is always changing,
We'll take the train out to the sea,
My pulse was always racing,
As we look out upon the sea,
The coast is always changing
And though it saddens me to say,
I'm still waiting for that day
9.The Night I Lost My Head
One in a million,
Two is a crowd,
Three is company,
Fours not allowed
I spent all night trying,
To remember your address,
Drawing lines around your body,
Making marks on the mucky floor
Five little fingers,
Six digit fix,
My lucky seven,
There are eight steps to my hips
I spent all night trying,
To remember your address,
Drawing lines around your body,
Making marks on the mucky floor
Why did we have to meet,
On the night I lost my head?
X2

On the night I lost my head?
X2
You found me indiscreet,
On the night I lost my head,
You found me in the street,
On the night I lost my head
10.Once, A Glimpse
Put away hard to find,
I don't remember why I started speaking,
A fast track operation,
Slow exertion over-ridden,
Unseen tough to catch,
I cant remember why I started drinking,
One track mind each and everytime,
Speed exertion country living,
Engage the men in trust,
I cant remember why I started hurting,
Another street light going down,
The night reveals itself to you,
Slipping under sliding down,
All I need is a certain trigger,
The path you take will never make you happy,
All I need is a certain spur
Once a glimpse was all I needed,
I don't remember why I had to give you back,
I just remember I kept all of your souvenirs,
Discarded traces of a love I never had,
Enforced and then enabled,
I don't remember why I started breathing,
Tied up turn him loose,
Slow desertion kept me hidden,
That's that no escaping,
I cant remember why I started thinking,
Wrapped up cuttin back,
Their inertia left you driven
Once a glimpse was all I needed,
I don't remember why I had to give you back,
I just remember I kept all of your souvenirs,
Discarded traces of a love I never had
X2
I wish that I could say that I don't need you anymore,
I heard every word you said and that is all
X2
Once a glimpse was all I needed,
I dont remember why I had to give you back,
I just remember I kept all of your souvenirs,
Discarded traces of a love I never had
I don't think your gonna get that early night,
I don't think your gonna get that early night,
I don't think your gonna get that early night,
I don't think your gonna get it
Just a glimpse was all I needed,
I don't remember why I had to give you back,
I just remember I kept all of your souvenirs,
Discarded traces of a love I never had
11.Now I'm All Over The Shop
If you're gonna talk about the things I need,
Then you're gonna have to find out what they are,
You remind me of a time when I was boring,
I recall a time when you could slip your noose
I wash my hands of you,
my feet wont hit the ground,
I often ask of myself,
When am I gonna learn,
I know you'll be content,
In the right line of employment
I never held you, you never hold me,
Its happening all over again,
I try and tempt you, you say I'm deluded,
When will this foolishness cease
Everytime I see you I start choking,
I prefer to keep my eyes wide open,
Ballerina poses get you nowhere,
Patience is a virtue when you're near me
I wash my hands of you,
my feet wont hit the ground,
I often ask of myself,
When am I gonna learn,
I know you'll be content,
In the right line of employment
I never held you, you never hold me,
Its happening all over again,
I try and tempt you, you say I'm deluded,
When will this foolishness cease
I know that you'll be content,
In the right line of employment,
I know you'll be fine, you'll be fine (in the right line)
You'll be fine, you'll be fine (in the right line)
I know you'll be fine,
Now that you're not mine
I never held you, you never hold me,
Its happening all over again,
I try to tempt you, You say im deluded,
When will this foolishness cease,
I attempted to snare you with old fashioned manners,
But patience was never my thing,
I said you were special, you know that I meant it,
Now im all over the shop
If you carry on like that you'll never make it,
If you cary on like me you'll never make it,
You'll never make it
12.Acrobat
You've got to catch an early plane,
And its no surprise I'm standing still,
Another minute more is all I need,
I'll never have enough,
This room gets so cold in the winter,
What will it take to heat this house?
I just want to feel comfortable,
When there's only the two of us in my bed,
My foot nearly brushes your leg,
I cant draw it away,
I cant push it forward,
It lies stranded,
It belongs to someone else,
We knew each other once,
This cant be what you want,
But you didn't have to demolish me,
I don't remember losing sight of your needs
I don't remember losing sight of your needs
I am not an acrobat,
I cannot perform these tricks for you,
Losing all my balance,
Falling from a wire made for you
The sky is often used as a metaphor,
I suppose its because its so big and expansive,
When a long stranded cloud sits just above the horizon,
Leaving a strip of clear blue beneath it,
It becomes the panorama,
And you turn your head 360 degrees,
And the same line follows you round,
If the land is sufficiently flat,
Really nothing can be compared to it
I dont remember losing sight of your needs
I dont remember losing sight of your needs
Your needs
I am not an acrobat,
I cannot perform these tricks for you,
Losing all my balance,
Falling from a wire made for you
I am not an acrobat,
I cant perform these tricks for you,
Losing all my balance,
Falling from a wire made for you
