Glasvegas Album

pain, pain, never again
a never having existed emotion called pain
a home where tranquillity lives and prevails
the bluest of blue skies and the most angelic of all angels
casablanca type ending all tales
where over the cruel, the kind heart reigns
like a backdrop fitting of a soulful kurt cobain
i'm overcoming the obstacles of the ubiquitous demon named 'shame'
denise denise, look at the swan that sails and sails and sails
a triumphant me and you again and again
the end credits naming us as the majestic escapists of cocaine
pain, pain, never again.

mister mojo's rising
i took a ride
from the L.A. mountains through time
to get you and see you as mine
i dreamt you were mine

mister mojo's dying
rising inside me is shyness
hesitations from youth
eternally hold the hand of me and you
still i dream
you were mine.

talks expensive and subtleties ring blind
don't let bad timing be the cost of our love lost
our crippling shyness butchering love all the time
please please god pull the stars to align
lets not leave it to another time
remember in the midst of my dreams when i dreamt you were mine
through letters of love saying the words
in the right order can be awkward and tough
time is slipping through
to express how i desire you
its something i don't know how to
the fear of losing you is elevating me on through
whilst the undeniable truth is alive and true
you don't need me as much as i need you
the tables have turned to my staggering astound
the wheels in my mind go round and round

and i dreamt you were mine

since my eyes saw yours
if i'm your world
then the world is yours
if my lips kissed yours
if i'm your world
then the world is yours
then the world is yours

a door i've yet to open.
a secret i need knowing
a rock i cherish instead of throwing.
my river to this sea still flowing

'you'

my glow in the dark sea horse never not glowing
through my sails this breeze is blowing
my child my flame forever growing
my scars from the past i admit i'm postponing... for

'you'

a life long debt i dont mind owing
it was to you bowie sang 'he rose in'
never my loneliness can truly be alone
when future visions of true love is everyday showing

'you'

i see the black fade to grey
i feel forwards as the only way
yesterday all my happiness seemed so far away
now it looks as though its here to stay...

shine like stars
shine like stars do

cast a wish to the moon afar
spare a thought for the one who matters
if we could only mend the breaks
open up our arms to fate sweet fate.

shine like stars
shine like stars do

i see the black fade to grey
i feel forwards as the only way
hold on tightly and hope it all lasts
celebrate the future
forget the past.

shine like stars
shine like stars do

i see you in the night walking past my house
i wonder if you feel the same as i do
just like me trapped and bruised
and lost and lonely too
you follow the fright
of
whatever hurts you through the night.

i saw you tonight walking past my house
i'm sure you feel the same as i do
caged and scared black & blue & black & blue
then comes the fright
of
whatever hurts you throught the night

if there was a way
with me, would you runaway?
if there was a way
would you let me take you away?
masterplan our escape route
run and never back we'd look
we could leave behind
your past and mine
the mirrors reflections that shocks in the light
take my hand we could leave tonight
whatever hurts you through the night.

tougher than tough
toughest when we are together
thoughts of me and you forever... the rest can go to hell
yeah I'm lost, but so are you
just like little lost lambs us two

they say we're sordid 'cause the way we walk and talk and flirt
they say we're dirty
we're stronger than dirt

absolutely novice
we're absolutely new to us
no less if we are not his 'n' hers
our love is as valid as their love is
i'm going on... can we stay together?
is it me and you forever?
can the rest all go to hell?

they say we are sordid 'cause the way we walk and talk and flirt
they say we're dirty
stronger than dirt

love stay with me... i'll keep you from harms way and hurt
stay with me
stronger than dirt

if i see you
on the same cloud as mine
to say hello, would that be fine?
if i said things
said things that were wrong
words at this point too late to go back on

if i left you
left you on your own
James, i to was lost and alone
i miss you nocturnally
i'll love you eternally
i've cried you an ocean
in my own little way
dream dream dreaming

there will be no holding back
i'll tell you a feeling
tonight when i see you
when i'm dream dream dreaming.

i know you're out there somewhere

confused desires since my teenage years
i'm the same homo my family fears
for my blue eyed boy there's a long distance longing
my behind closed doors fantasies going on
and i feel wrong

forgive me father for i have sinned
i must confess it's brothers with my eyes that i undress
once a day i think about killing myself
i can't carry on i must be strong even though it hurts as i sing this song
and i feel wrong

god it's only love
god for how long will I feel wrong?

Heartbreak, I'm not holding your hand any more
Why can't you understand?
Euphoria, take my hand
Euphoria...

Your ways, my ways
Never, always
The future, the past
The first, the last

Heartbreak, I'm not holding your hand any more
Why can't you understand?
Euphoria, take my hand
Euphoria...

Right time, wrong line
Myself, I'm alien
I swear to god, lies and bad thoughts
1, 2, 3, 4, let go

Heartbreak, I'm not holding your hand any more
Why can't you understand?
Euphoria, take my hand
Euphoria...

I wish upon a falling star
A fear never far,
A hit, you hit me
Sunshine moonlight, kind heart evil leave me

Heartbreak, I'm not holding your hand anymore
Heartbreak, I'm not holding your hand, let me go
Why can't you understand?
Why can't you understand?
Why can't you understand?
Euphoria, take my hand
Euphoria, take my hand
Euphoria, take my hand
Euphoria...

Euphoria...
Take my hand
Euphoria...
Take my hand

i still think about you lots sometimes
it makes me sad when I think about you lots sometimes
it makes me laugh out loud when I think of you lots sometimes
a flame burns bright inside of me for you lots sometimes

something hurts inside when i think of you lots sometimes
i see a distance when i think about you lots sometimes
the birds sing for me and you in the morning light lots sometimes
i feel lost when i think about you lots sometimes

i'm out of control when i think of you lots sometimes
i tell myself i dont need you anymore lots sometimes
i wonder if you ever loved me at all lots sometimes
i don't want to live without you anymore lots sometimes

i dot to dot with the stars to spell your name at night lots sometimes
the flowers in my garden still await your return lots sometimes
the evening breeze whispers your name in my ear lots sometimes
i picture me and you when i lie awake at night lots sometimes

it makes me mad when i think about you lots sometimes
i feel lower than the pavement when i think of you lots sometimes
i wish you here with me nocturnally lots sometimes
i hope your happy wherever you are lots sometimes

i pray to god i haven't lost you for good lots sometimes
i hold on to hope i'm somewhere in your heart lots sometimes
i can't help it when i think about you lots sometimes
i miss you like i've never missed anything lots sometimes

i find it hard to let go and move on lots sometimes
i really thought we could have made it to the end lots sometimes
i guess i never stopped loving you at all lots sometimes
i still think about you lots sometimes

mama, i feel so scared
for three years
liberty and walking free
was every night my fantasies
mama, i feel so afraid
swallow me up the open gates
the unknown awaits
wish i was back in the comfort of my own cage
cause i don't think could ever ever change

son, don't be scared. don't be afraid.
let's earn each others love
and never until its something unconditional
son, bring back that smile again,
be led not into temptation
dare to resist reoffending again
son, truly, it's never too late to change

mama, my street as i remember is still the same
wonder what the people round here say?
son, only you can turn things the other way
i think my friends have all gave up on me
untie your chains, reach out in apology
then dance dance dance into the the future with me
beware the fences the prison defences, and the lies they say
inside these walls commitments involuntary
only the lonely in this correctional facility's
isn't it sad, isn't it a pity.

in the still of every night... i pray
for the damaged who'll be loved unwillingly
from in a place, no man truly ever walks away

mum i'm so sorry for what i've put you through
i will change for you

son, a change is sometimes good
but before you change for me...
change for you.
