love lies cut in the busy street
in the busy rain,
blood runs in streams
pouring like champagne
i don't love you i don't love you i don't love you or want you here
i don't love you i don't love you i don't love you or want you here
ice melts on the floor
the winter is inside
i've lived and i have died
i don't love you i don't love you i don't love you or want you here
i don't love you i don't love you i don't love you or want you here
cleopatra, for her amusement stuck a golden needle in her slave girl's breast
you're not you're not as bad as that
looks that wear no face
that bother me in sleep
you have nothing,
you have nothing i care to keep
i don't love you i don't love you i don't love you or want you here
i don't love you i don't love you i don't love you or want you here
cleopatra, you're not, you're not as bad as that
i don't love you i don't love you i don't love you or want you here
i don't love you i don't love you i don't love you or want you here

i just like to see i just like to see i just like to see the words formed by your hand
i just found a letter it didn't make much sense to me i don't care i just like to see the words formed by your hand
words of obscure meaning words on printed paper i just like to see the words formed by your hand
i just like to see i just like to see i just like to see the words formed by your hand
i just found a letter your writing could be hard to read it's of no concern i just like to see the words formed by your hand
i just like to see i just like to see i just like to see
i remember my girlfriend i remember my best friend i remember my woman i remember my wife i remember you
i just like to see the words formed by your hand

This Happy Life

this happy life now that your gone my sanguine face a dress to put on
kiss me in darkness kiss me at night's rest kiss me in our room it's still here for you
with every living thing i bury it alive to watch it come back to me
and if it's really love then let it be complete come back to me for keeps
midnight it is window moon the wicker chair begins to move
kiss me in darkness kiss me at night's rest kiss me in our room it's still here for you
with every living thing i bury it alive to watch it come back to me
and if it's really love then let it be complete come back to me for keeps

Put Your Lips On My Lips
03:58
|

put your lips on my lips surrender your eyes look at me whenever you think it’s your time to die
put your lips on my lips so please just stay while the sky outside is blue in the dark in the void i die too
put my face on your face your pallor is worn the room is close whenever you think its your time to die
put my lips on your lips so please just stay while the sky outside is blue in the dark in the void i die too
outside the day gives no quarter the sun is blocked by black flags of merciless clouds
put my lips on your lips put my lips on your lips

cold earth cold sky cold fire cold eyes she loves me she loves me yes she does
she loves me she loves me yes she does
closed door closed room no warmth no word she loves me she loves me yes she does
she loves me she loves me yes she does
just like a drowning man i hang tight to belief i have nothing left
she loves me she loves me yes she does she loves me she loves me yes she does

The Greatest Lie
04:04
|
|||
i thought that i could learn to smile without you i thought that i could learn to laugh without you
i thought i could express my hate for you but now i know i doubt this too all this too
i don’t want you I don’t need you is this the greatest lie i ever told you?
i don’t want you I don’t need you is this the greatest lie i ever told you?
i thought that i could learn to love without you how can i ever learn to live, live without you?
i don’t want you I don’t need you is this the greatest lie i ever told you?
i don’t want you i don’t want you is this the greatest lie i ever told you?
the greatest lie the greatest lie i told you

beneath the funeral skies the party dances one and twenty souls
with skeleton eyes and murdered hearts false or true smoke and ice dust and earth i wait for night
i do promise to love you after death do us part i do promise to love you after death do us part
the peasant girl from Domrémy you are not her and i am not your saviour
i'll gather the moss i'll stay right here whisper sounds silent words stir the air i wait for night
i do promise to love you after death do us part i do promise to love you after death do us part
i will dig beneath the dirt with my rigid fingers you and i are not unique history repeats and lingers
beneath the funeral skies beneath the funeral skies

Unborn
03:58
|
|||
if i said i'm sorry would you understand if i said i could not i'd not be a lover or friend
i walk in winter i walk inside this storm my brain fever lingers i want something to feel unborn
you said it will soon be over please find someone new
i said please don't speak about this i would rather hold and follow you
i will freeze in winter i will freeze inside this storm my brain fever lingers i want something to feel unborn
i walk in winter i walk inside this storm i walk in winter i walk inside this storm
i want something to feel unborn i want something to feel unborn

Halfway Cross The Sky
03:29
|
|||
a pill for the night it helps me to sleep i see your face upon the glass the dark window the empty street
today i’m on earth tomorrow i’m gone i’ll follow you halfway cross the sky
the darkness of space surrender my world to follow you halfway cross the sky
i feel the guilt alive and alone when it’s always been the two of us why you and not me why me and not you
today i’m on earth tomorrow i’m gone i’ll follow you halfway cross the sky
the darkness of space surrender my world to follow you halfway cross the sky today i’m on earth tomorrow i’m gone
i’ll follow you halfway cross the sky

she left her presence in every room of this house
she left her future for me to do what i care
so change everything in any way you want
just leave something for me as it was
paint every wall in colours you desire
just leave something for me as it was
she's here beside me when familiar life carries on
so change everything in any way you want
just leave something for me as it was
paint every wall in colours you desire
just leave something for me as it was
