Out of here 
We're out of here 
Out of heartache 
Along with fear 
There goes the fear again 
There goes the fear 

And cars speed fast 
Out of here 
And life goes past 
Again so near 
There goes the fear again 
There goes the fear 

Close your brown eyes 
And lay down next to me 
Close your eyes, lay down 
'Cos there goes the fear 
Let it go 

You turn around and life's passed you by 
You look to ones you love to ask them why 
You look to those you love to justify 
You turned around and life's passed you by 
Passed you by again 

And late last night 
Makes up her mind 
Another fight 
left behind 
There goes the fear again 
Let it go 
There goes the fear 

Close your brown eyes 
And lay down next to me 
Close your eyes, lay down 
'Cos there goes the fear 
Let it go 

You turn around and life's passed you by 
You look to ones you love to ask them why 
you look to those you love to justify, why 
you turned around and life's passed you by 

Think of me when you're coming down 
But don't look back when leaving town 
Oh think of me when he's calling out 
But don't look back when leaving town 
Think of me when you close your eyes 
But don't look back when you break all ties 
Think of me when you're coming down 
But don't look back when leaving town today 

There goes the fear again 
Let it go 
There goes the fear 
Let it go 

Think of me when you close your eyes 
But don't look back when you break all ties 
Think of me when you're coming down 
But don't look back when leaving town today

. . .


Here comes the action
Here it comes at last
Lord give me reaction
Lord give me a chance

You should follow
Me down

In satellite towns
There's no colour and no sound
I'll be ten feet underground
Gotta get out of this satellite town

Here comes some action
First time in my life
I gotta get out to get compensation
I gotta get out to get this tonight

Speech...

You should follow
Your way down

In satellite towns
There's no colour and no sound
I'll be ten feet underground
In a black and white town

You should follow
Me down

There's no colour and no sound
In a black and white town
We'll be ten feet underground
In a black and white town


. . .


I said man, can you help me out?
Bring me back to love
Bring me back to life

Oh why should I care?

I said how, could you keep me out?
Without a wish to share
So without a doubt

Oh then why should I care?

We have been warned
It's a classic sign
It's a wicked mind
With an axe to grind

When is it our, our turn?
So why should we care?

Yeah we have been warned
It's a classic sign
Why should we care?

If this is our last summer
Oh then why should we care?

If this could be our last summer
Then why should we care?

. . .



This is a call 
A call to all 
It goes out to those 
Who've been bad 
And I should know 
Because I've been 
Maybe once a 
Week on Mondays 
You should've seen 
She doubles up and 
Comes back Sundays 
And she will come 
Into your heart 
It goes on and on 
And on 

Here it comes 
Here comes my 
Day in the sun 
Here it comes 
Here comes my 
Time in the sun 

This is the day 
This is the time 
To stare at the 
Skies in wonder 
We live a lie 
You'll never find 
Never in a month 
Of Sundays 

You should've 
Seen what 
I've seen, he 
Doubles up 
And comes 
Back Mondays 
And he will 
Come into your 
Heart, it goes on 
And on and on

. . .



Inside is 
A heart of summer soul 
Don't let them 
Take it away 

Cause inside 
Something solid gold 
So don't let them 
Throw it away 

Words they meant nothing 
So you can't hurt me 
I said words they mean nothing 
So you can't stop me 

I said your eyes, they say nothing 
So you can't hurt me 
On summer days like these 
I said words they mean nothing 
So you can't hurt me 

Follow 
Your own path from here 
So don't listen 
To what they say 

Cause inside 
You have a heart of gold 
So don't let them 
Take this away 

Words they meant nothing 
So you can't hurt me 
On summer days like these 
I said words they mean nothing 
So you can't stop me 

I said your eyes, they say nothing 
So you can't fault me 
I said words they mean nothing 
So you can't hurt me 

Inside 
A heart of pure soul 
A sun rising 
And falling away, like your soul 

Cause here comes 
Something wonderful 
So don't let them 
Throw it away 

Words they meant nothing 
So you can't hurt me 
On summer days like these 
I said words they mean nothing 
So you can't stop me 
On summer days like these 

I said your eyes, they say nothing 
So you can't stop me 
On summer days like these 
I said words they mean nothing 
So you can't hurt me

. . .


I hear a sound, a sound above my head
Distant sound of thunder, moving out on the moor

Blackbirds flew in and to the cooling towers
I'll pack my bags
Thinking of one of those hours
With you, waiting for you

My God, it takes an ocean of trust
In the Kingdom of Rust

I long to feel some beauty in my heart
As I go searching, right to the start
Hmmm
The road back to Preston
Was jutted out in snow
As I went looking for that stolen heart
For you, waiting for you

My God, it takes an ocean of trust
Takes an effort it does
My god, it takes an ocean of trust
It's in the Kingdom of Rust

Oooow in the Kingdom of Rust

I long to feel that wince in my heart
As I went looking
I couldn't stop
Now I'm waiting for you

Ooohh .............
I know it takes an ocean of trust
In the Kingdom of Rust

. . .


Drive with me
Do the things you wont believe
Drive with me
Past the city and down to sea

Crushing Dreams
Leave me be, I cannot sleep

Drown with me
Past the city, down to sea
Rush of dream
Leave in peace, let me be

oh, it's the pain
It's ingrained in me
oh, soothe my pain
It's ingrained in me

Drive with me


. . .



I can't stand by 
And see you destroyed 
I can't be here 
And watch you burn up 
Lie for the moment 
And lie as a decoy 
So does it matter 
If I give in easy? 
So why 
Is it so hard to get by? 

And I say 
We so down 
But it's now or never baby 
We don't mind 
If this don't last forever 
See the light 
But it won't last forever 
Seize the time 
Cause it's now or never baby 

Let's leave at sunrise 
Let's live by the ocean 
I don't mind 
If we never come home at all 
Steal the morning 
So set in motion 
In and out of love 
And institutions 
Cause I know 
This can't last for long 

And I say 
We so down 
But it's now or never baby 
We don't mind 
If this don't last forever 
See the light 
But it won't last forever 
Seize the time 
Cause it's now or never baby 

So why 
Is it so hard to get by? 
And I say... 

We so down 
But this can't last forever 
We don't mind 
Cause it's now or never baby

. . .


10:03
On a fast train
A trick of light
Crossing my eyes
The sky went blank
Calling out your name

Calling out your name

Like the last
Of those fires
You shall burn, into the night

Like a moth,
To the flame
I will turn back again, I'm coming home

Calling out your name

All I've ever known

Distant call
Down the way
Distant train, on the line

I return
To your sign
With the push and the pull of your time

It's all I've ever known

Calling out your name

All I've come along......

Lord, I'm coming home

[Instrumental]

10:03
On the fast train

. . .



Every day it comes to this 
Catch the things you might have missed 
You say, get back to yesterday 
I ain't ever going back 
Back to the place that I can't stand 
But I miss the way you lie 
I'm always misunderstood 
Pulled apart and ripped in two 
But I miss the way you lie 

Catch the sun, before it's gone 
Here it comes, up in smoke and gone 
Catch the sun, it never comes 
Cry in the sand, lost in the fire 

I never really understood 
Why I didn't feel so good 
But I miss the way you lie 
I've always been up and down 
Never wanted to hit the ground 
But I miss the way you lie 

Catch the sun, before it's gone 
Here it comes, up in smoke and gone 
Catch the sun, it never comes 
Cry in the sand, lost in the fire

. . .


Tall machines wait in line
So still lost in time
Jets turn and make no sound
Returning to the solid ground
People drift out of time
Watching numbers turn
Seems that Iґve been waiting here forever

Jetstream
Stormy seas
Cast adrift on a troubled dream
Iґve seen the sleeping ships at night
I will meet you there
The roar of the engine in the air
(Jetstream)

Leave the things you donґt need
And the ones that you donґt love
Faith and hope
Keeps our minds together
Your heartґs left the ground tonight
Scattered lost in light
Seems that Iґve been waiting here forever

Jetstream
Carbon seas
Cast adrift on a troubled dream
Iґve seen the silent jets at night
I will meet you there
The roar of the engine high in the air
(Jetstream)

Sleeping ships in the night
Shining steel lost in time
Jets turn make no sound
Returning to the safer ground
People running outta time
Lost in love last in line
Seems Iґve waited here forever

Jetstream
Stormy seas
Cast adrift on a troubled dream
I see the silent jets at night
I will take you there
The roar of the engine pollutes the air

Jetstream

Jetstream

Get out of bed, pick up the phone, time to tell the press 
Say to myself, I cant do no one else, there's a whole world outside 
I'm gonna tell it all, I'm gonna sell it all, I'm gonna sell 
Get out of bed, come out and sing, blue skies ahead, the man who told everything 
And I feel, like I'm losing my head, I didn't mean to stay 
Lives have wrecked and I've picked up my cheque, catch a plane out of here 
I'm gonna get out of here, I'm gonna get out of here, I'm gonna sell

. . .


I've seen the place
The place of falling rivers
Where we can breathe again

Let me see
Let me know
Let me see the one
That echoes in your mind

Rain falls, falling on the window
I ain't seen the sun in days
Bring me back
Bring me back the hope we found that day
Seems far far away

And the world we see
Belongs to you and me
If we're lucky - Andalucia
And the love you bring
Won't mean a thing
If you don't win - Andalucia

This place, feels strange
Impossible to remember
You're a 1000 miles away

I can't rest, cannot sleep
I'm feeling numb most days
Can you be the same?

The same dreams
Swimming in the ocean
White surf is all around
I can't think
Well I can't stop to think of her with him
So far far away

All the love you bring
Won't mean a thing
If you don't win - Andalucia
And the world we see
Belongs to you and me
If we're lucky - Andalucia

Andalucia
Andalucia
Oh Andalucia

Son 
What have you done? 
You're caught by the river 
You're coming undone 

Life 
You know it can't be so easy 
But you can't just leave it 
Cause you're not in control no more 

And you give it all away 
Would you give it all away now? 
Don't let it come apart 
Don't want to see you come apart 

Son 
What are you doing? 
You learned a hard lesson 
When you stood by the water 

You and I 
Were so full of love and hope 
Would you give it all up now? 
Would you give in just to spite them all? 

Cause you give it all away 
And you give it all away now 
Don't let it come apart 
Don't want to see you come apart 

Cause you give it all away 
And you give it all away now 
Don't let it come apart 
Don't want to see you come apart 

Lay 
I lay in the long grass 
So many people 
So many people pass 

Stay 
Stay here and lie on back 
Get down in the cornfields 
Stay till we're caught at last 

Give it all away 
Give it all away now 
Don't let it come apart 
Don't want to see you come apart 

And you give it all away 
Would you give it all away now? 
Don't let it come apart 
Don't want to see you come apart 

Would you give it all away? 
Would you give it all away? 
Would you give it all away? 
Give it all away 
Give it all away 
Give it all away 
Give it all away

. . .



Stars leave the morning 
Sleep clouds my view 
Don't let them come round here 
And call to you 
I didn't notice 
It's a crime too few 
I didn't know it's 
It's a crime to feel 

And I tried to sleep alone 
But I couldn't do it 
You could be sitting next to me 
And I wouldn't know it 
If I told you you were wrong 
I don't remember saying 
I don't remember saying 
I don't remember saying 

I'll be a shadow 
In the cedar room 
And leave just a memory 
Alone with you 
I didn't see that 
It's a call too soon 
I couldn't see that 
It's a call to you 

And I tried to sleep alone 
But I couldn't do it 
You could be sitting next to me 
And I wouldn't know it 
If I told you you were wrong 
I don't remember saying 
I don't remember saying 
I don't remember saying

Blue Water

[No lyrics]

. . .


Miles out to sea
Swimming back to shore
Just you and me
Miles out in a darker sea
Coming back again
Covering me

Blood shivers down
Cover my heart
And floodin' the soul
We've been lost and found
Everybody's gotta try an' fill that hole
My oh my the water's deep
The water's deeper than you and me yeah
My oh my oh my how we speak
When everybody's swimming in a darker sea

sail free yeah

oh how is it me
you're sitting on a shark
staring back at me
out there the shadows fall
everybody's waiting for the sun to call

it's getting hard in this dirty down
don't let the fuckless grind you down
my oh my oh my where we're free
everyone's swimming in a darker sea

sail free
sail free
sail free

he's eleven miles out
it takes strength get him out

sail free
sail free
sail free
sail free

. . .



Belly up in a sea of love 
Drowning's good in a sea of funk 
Drowning's good in a cedar love 
I'll keep you there, I'll keep you there 

So long... 
So long... 

City lights come back in June 
Seems the sun has gone too soon 
Miles away from anywhere 
Feels so warm in the southern air 

So long... 
So long...

. . .


Bad snow freeze my throat
And numbs my soul
Eats me whole to pick me up
That's where you know
Free to go
You call the Jones
Makes me old before I'm old
It's all you love
Deep inside I know you love
The less the I seem to know you love

Bad snow numbs my throat
And leaves me dry leaves me dry
Leaves me barely whole
Down to the wire
Rock gone cold
You caught a cold
Like so many times before its all you
love
Deep inside I go you love
The less the I seem to know you love

Here now, deep inside I go
Here now


. . .

Push Me On

[No lyrics]

. . .


Heigh ho! Who is there?
No one but me, my dear.
Please come say, How do?
The things I'll give to you.
A stroke as gentle as a feather
I'll catch a rainbow from the sky
And tie the ends together.
Heigh ho! I am here
Am I not young and fair?
Please come say, How do?
The things I'll show to you.
Would you have a wond'rous sight
The midday sun at midnight?
Fair maid, white and red,
Comb you smooth and stroke your head
How a maid can milk a bull!
And every stroke a bucketful.

. . .


On the day the bailiffs came
Took the keys away, took their home
away
And honestly, they feel the shame
They couldn't forsee it, they couldn't
believe it
And in the hills, looked over fields
It's such a secret, and who would
believe it

It's a great day for the valleys
It's a great day for them all

She takes her time, sings all alone
No-one believed her
She made the tea, left all the keys
She's such a seeker, and no-one
believed her

It's a great day for the valleys
It's a great day for them all
It's a great day, it's a new day
For them all


. . .


Fuck Longsight
And Levenshulme
Same goes for Stockport and Hulme
We doing alright
Just post-house blues
Cos this is northenden in the afternoon

The kids are deranged
They love guns and kidnap
Thats just the way we do things here
The day dies down
Not a moment too soon
Under the northenden afternoon

Northenden afternoon

. . .



Moonshine 
I'm waiting for a love that never comes 
Moonshine 
Wishing for a time that never was 

I'm waiting for a time 
For truth to call 
I'm waiting for a sign 
To show me all 
I'm waiting for my love 

Moonshine 
Drinking to a love that's gone on by 
Moonshine 
Look into the stars as cars go by 

I'm waiting for a time 
For truth to call 
I'm waiting for a sign 
To show me all 
I'm waiting for my love 

I'm waiting for a time 
For truth to call 
I'm waiting for a sign 
To show me all 
I'm waiting for my love 
Waiting for my love 
Waiting for my love 

Moonshine 
I'm waiting for a love that never comes

The Drifter

[No lyrics]

. . .



Friday's dust 
Turned into a Saturday's 
It wasn't meant to be this way 
It wasn't meant to end so late 

Friday's trust 
A deal not brokered honestly 
Perhaps it's just a game they played 
Tell me they've not flown away 

All the hope 
And all the wonder 
All the strength that they can muster 
Won't go 
They won't get me down 

Their desire 
It seems they've got designs on me 
They never want me honestly 
They try to take me foolishly 

All the toys and creature comforts 
All the dreams they can rupture 
Won't go 

Friday's dust 
Takes all the love we own

. . .


So close...
You're wasted again
I know, somehow...
I lost myself...again

Making me high again
I almost forgot myself again
It hits me so hard
It kills me again
Today

So close
Yet you're wasted again
I know, somehow...
We'll find ourselves...
I don't know, I don't know

Then we'll be high again
I almost forgot myself there
It hits you so hard
And kills again

I almost forgot myself again
I almost forgot myself there
It's hitting me hard
It moves me again
Again...

. . .


Back, I'm back in town
In which we're stuck, I couldn't get
out
And that old man, will soon be us
Now if we're too late
Not if we can't escape

All of my time,
you were on my mind
And all of my thoughts,
you're so hard to find

And your shadow, it lay across his life

Time, a time in the past
We couldn't care less, wanted to live
fast
And our old house, I can't find
'Cause it ain't there
'Cause it ain't there, it's gone
All of my time,
you were on my mind
And all of my love,
you're so hard to find

And your shadow, it lay across my life,
my life


. . .


Born on a train nowhere
I was born in a car out there
You were bound to live this life
You were bound to be alive

When I was a young man
I looked up to the ones by my side
I was bound by a love and despair
I was bound by a love and despair

The last son

You gotta a nerve to come back here again
But I guess that's how it goes
You always hurt the ones you know

The last Son

Tell me how you know
When your love wont die but grows
I am that son

Born to a northern star
With the fallow stretching far
I never knew there's another way
I never knew I'd leave this way

Now I'm an older man
Trying to accept the person I'am
I was born to live this way
I was bound to live this way

But I want to see you again
But I guess that's how it goes
You always hurt the love you know

The last son

Tell me how did you know
When your love wont die but grows
The last son
I am that son

Well I wonder how you know
Why your love wont die but grows
But I guess that's how it goes
You gotta learn to let them
Let those people go
Learn to let them go

The last son

. . .



Fate 
Brought you 
Brought you next to ghosts 
They 
Talk in code 
Looking for the way out 
I hope, I hope 
I hope you want to live a day 
And learn to cope 
I hope you find what matters 

Through the streets and on your own 
Almost lost and almost gone 
We'll be looking all we can 
We'll be searching for the sulphur man 

Pills stop you 
Stopped you feeling life 
Fall 
Into a home 
Sympathy and all 
A soul in tatters 
A soul as black as coal 
I hope, I hope 
I wish you could find what matters 

Through the streets and on your own 
Almost lost and almost home 
We'll be looking all we can 
We'll be looking for the sulphur man 

Through the streets and on your own 
Almost lost and almost home 
We'll be looking all we can 
We'll be searching for the sulphur man 

Through the streets and on your own 
Almost lost and almost home 
We'll be looking all we can 
We'll be searching for the sulphur man

So ambition cut you down
Ain't a love as perfect
Everybody knows it
Something drove you down

Something as good
Something new
Somebody good
Our ambition cuts you down

There's not a love that's perfect
But I, I live in hope

Somebody good
Somebody new
Something as good
Something that's mine

Ain't a love that's perfect
Everybody knows it
Ambition cuts us down
