I still love the light on baby
It keeps me awake but I don't mind

Everything I ever wanted
Is right here but soon it won't be

Oh, if fortune favours the brave
I am as poor as you come

Well I've got a million things to say
Well I've got a million things to

I still love the light on baby
It keeps me awake but I don't mind

Well everything I ever wanted
Is right here but soon it won't be

If fortune favours the brave
I am as poor as they come

Well I've got a million things to say
Well I've got a million things to

I still love the light on baby
I still love the light on baby
I still love the light on baby
I still love the light on baby

Oh, if fortune favours the brave
I am as poor as they come

Well I've got a million things to say
Well I've got a million things to

Ahhhh, a million things to say
Got a million things to say
Got a million things to say
Got a million things to


. . .


I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did
I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did

It breaks when you don't force it
It breaks when you don't try
It breaks if you don't force it
It breaks if you don't try, try, try, try

People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through

People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to

With one hand you calm me
With one hand I'm still
With one hand you calm me
With one hand I'm still, still, still, still

People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through

People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to

People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through

People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

You'll speak when you're spoken to
You'll speak when you're spoken to
He'll speak when he's spoken to
She'll speak when she's spoken to

. . .



This wicked city just drags you down
You're with the red lights, your side of town

Don't say it's easy to follow a process
There's nothing harder than keeping a promise

Blood runs through your veins, that's where our similarity ends
Blood runs through our veins

Blood runs through your veins, that's where our similarity ends
Blood runs through our veins

There's nothing believable in being honest
So cover your lies up with another promise

Blood runs through your veins, that's where our similarity ends
Blood runs through our veins

Blood runs through your veins, that's where our similarity ends
Blood runs through our veins

Ooohhhhhhh

Blood runs through your veins, that's where our similarity ends
Blood runs through our veins

If there's hope in your heart
Did I see it from the start
If there's hope in your heart


. . .



With my eyes closed
I'll look closer
I'll always remember
Juggernauts screaming to a stop
Sound like devils are laughing

I wanted to see, I wanted to see
I wanted to see this for myself
I wanted to see, I wanted to see
I wanted to see this for myself

These dark parts, we drink in
Somehow light up when I'm with you

I wanted to see, I wanted to see
I wanted to see this for myself
I wanted to see, I wanted to see
I wanted to see this for myself

I wanted to see, I wanted to see
I wanted to see this for myself
I wanted to see, I wanted to see
I wanted to see this for myself
For myself...

You're answering questions that have not yet been asked

All sparks will burn out in the end

You burn like you're bouncing cigarettes on the road

All sparks will burn out in the end

All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out in the end

You're casting opinions at people who need them

All sparks will burn out in the end

Well be careful angel, this life is just too hard

All sparks will burn out in the end

All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out in the end

You burn like you're bouncing cigarettes

All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out in the end

Keep close to me now
I'll be your guide
Once we have black hearts
Then love dies
Look at us
Through the lens of the camera
Does it remove all of our pain
If we run
Then look in the back room
Where we hide all of our feelings

I just close my eyes as you walk out

I'll keep your eyes wide
Open tonight
Keep the car on the road now
Feel the fight

Look at us
Through the lens of a camera
Does it remove all of our pain
If we run
Then look in the back room
Where we hide
All of our feelings

I just close my eyes as you walk out

You fall from grace
But fall with such grace
You fall from grace
But fall with such grace
...

Look at us...

I just close my eyes as you walk...

. . .


Easy said and easy done is how we like this
Put us in our place

You're the night, the dirty night
That keeps us going
No-one left to wait

Pull a sentence from my lips
To keep them quiet
What they want to hear

Oh you're the night, the dirty night
That makes me angry
No-one left to fear

As the sun goes down in my broken town
And my fingers bleed in the factories
Come on out tonight, come and see the sun
Of the ones you love and the ones you love
And you

Keep with me
Keep with me
Keep with me
Keep with me

Smile for once, for a moment
It makes me happy
What I need is here

You're the night, the dirty night
That keeps us going
No-one left to fear

As the sun goes down in my broken town
And my fingers bleed in the factories
Come on out tonight, come and see the sun
Of the ones you love and the ones you love
And you

Keep with me
Keep with me
Keep with me
Keep with me

As the sun goes down in my broken town
And my fingers bleed in the factories
Come on out tonight, come and see the sun
Of the ones you love and the ones you love
And you

Keep with me
Keep with me
Keep with me
Keep with me
Keep with me
Keep with me
Keep with me
Keep with me

If something has to change then it always does

Someone said they saw you, in the night and on your own
There's beauty in the lonely
You're the moonlight in this town

Seems like every moment is another from before
Your eyes have nothing behind them
Your arms and legs are sore

Neighbour, you've fallen in with the wrong crowd
I've got so much to tell you in so little time

Oh neighbour, keep things close to your heart
If no-one can help you, then how can I

Someone said they saw you
Said they saw it as a sign
Well every single second catches up the next in line

Neighbour, you've fallen in with the wrong crowd
I've got so much to tell you in so little time
Oh neighbour, keep things close to your heart
If no-one can help you, then how can I

Neighbour, you've fallen in with the wrong crowd
I've got so much to tell you in so little time
Oh neighbour, keep things close to your heart
If no-one can help you, then how can I, I, I, I

Someone said they saw you
Someone said they saw you
Someone said they saw you
Someone said they saw you


. . .


Look up, look up, look up now
It's a long way down

Look up, look up, look up now
It's a long way down

You fail, you fail to see now
What you need the most

Making a meal of me now
You're the perfect host

This lot, this lot have messed you around

This lot, this lot have messed you about

Open your arms and welcome people to your town

Look up, look up, look up now
Well it's a long way down

This lot, this lot have messed you around

Oh this lot, this lot have messed you around

Oh this lot, this lot have messed you around

Oh this lot, oh this lot have messed you around
Messed you around

Open your arms and welcome
Open your arms and welcome
Open your arms and welcome
Open your arms and welcome
Open your arms and welcome
Open your arms and welcome
Open your arms and welcome
Open your arms and welcome

Open your arms and welcome people to your town
Open your arms and welcome people to your town

Oooooooooooooh
Oooooooooooooh
Oooooooooooooh


. . .



Distance, I'll keep my distance
These things I never seem to meet
So I'll leave them out to see

Honey, What got broken?
Walls go back together again
So I'll leave this while I can

Ahhhhhh

Nothing, to be scared of
My dreams they keep a hold of me
My guides when I cant see

Carla, I will be there
I'm sure you're passing the test
I wish you all the best

Ahhhhhh

. . .


Though this world's essentially an absurd place to be living in
It doesn't call for total withdrawal

I've been told it's a fact of life
Men have to kill one another
Well I say there are still things worth fighting for

La resistance!

Though this world's essentially an absurd place to be living in
It doesn't call for (bubble withdrawal)

It said human existence is pointless
As acts of rebellious solidarity
Can bring sense in this world

La resistance!

. . .



You let the dark in, somehow
I feel the winter more now, more now

Some things do matter, a price to pay
We will find our own way, always

Sharks swim around your drowning soul
Let your good heart lead you home

Once you've gone, you can't come back
I am worried about you

Once you've gone girl, you can't come back
I am worried about you

. . .


I'll lose this I always have, I'll always let you down
I'll lose this I always have, I'll always let you down

Make your way up to the stars, It's there where you belong

I'll lose this I always have, I'll always let you down

Waiting, you are
Fading, you are
Slowly drift off to sleep

Waiting, you are
Fading, you are
Slowly drift off to sleep

Waiting, you are
Fading, you are
Slowly drift off to sleep


. . .


Cold place, same town
So faced with the same frown

Crawl down the wall like no-one at all
Crawl down the track, find your way back

We'll see how this goes
We'll pull love from all lows
And we'll see how this goes now

Cold place, same town
So faced with the same frown

Crawl down the wall like no-one at all
Crawl down the track, find your way back

We'll see how this goes
We'll pull love from all lows
And we'll see how this goes now

We'll see how this goes
We'll pull love from all lows
And we'll see how this goes now, now, now, now


. . .


You mean a lot to me
You've got a heart of gold
Everything falls apart
Leaves you in the cold

Purpose is scaring me
What if I can't see mine
Love on the filthy streets is so divine

You are the colour my dear
You are the colour my dear

You mean a lot to me
You've got a heart of gold

Once I have found the words
I'll loosen my hold

You are the colour my dear
You are the colour my dear
You are the colour my dear
You are the colour my dear

Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby

Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby

Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby

The city is not that far
Made from the sun you are
Oh what a star you are
The city is not that far, that far, that far

Life in black and white
My lord what a perfect sight
I'll lose this, I always do
I'll lose this, I always do

Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love, my love, my love

Life in black and white
My lord what a perfect sight
Made from the sun you are
Oh what a star you are

Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love
Release find your peace my love, my love, my love

The city, the city, the city, the city


. . .



Take me home, somewhere safe
Lean on me, saving grace

Such a light, where you are
Something new, forest fire

I'll miss this when it's gone
Let's not waste life, come on
I'll miss this when it's gone
Let's not waste life
Come on, come on

We all sit next to the fire, we watch you burn
Oh we all sit next to the fire and watch you burn
Ahhhhh
