You are the dust and,
I am the rain,
Lets go out in the rust and
Let's gather the change
Let's take to the streets
You and I we're life's refugees
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
You stain the pavements
I'll take the blame
Our love is our saviour
Our life is our grave
Let's take to the streets
You and I we're life's refugees
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
‘Cause we're all refugees
And we're all drifting like leaves
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
We'll live for the sunshine
And smile through the rain
And we're all refugees
And we're all drifting like leaves
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
So let's take to the streets
You and I compete with the freaks
And like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
Well there's nothing between us
Well there's nothing between us

And the morning comes with coffee we can share
And the smell of cigarettes is in your hair
There's a sound that shouts outside the hotel room
Like the night before when cameras flattered you
And if we don't have a future
If our lives split like shattered bits of glass
And if we don't have a future
Just leave your autograph
Your autograph
And the night before the neon lit our fate
And our shadows painted many different shapes
But now the moon has turned complex and altered you
There's just a smell of cigarettes left in the room
And we made fake conversation
And we pick through broken bits of glass
And it's all just complication
And too complex to ever ask
'Cos if we don't have a future
And if this kiss dissolves into the past
And if we don't have a future
Just leave your autograph
Your autograph
Just leave your autograph
Your autograph
Just leave your autograph
. . .

Alone in my room
I switch on the tube
And wave at the screen
It stares back at me
So I turn to the sky
Watch as it cries
Just waiting in here
For the car to appear
When we're together the world smiles
And when we're together it feels right
We'll live for the future and its scenes
When we're together, my co-star and me
Your plane is delayed
So I walk from the gate
But when you appear
I'll stick to you dear
And we'll stumble outside
And dance in the sunlight
Like ice in the sun
We'll melt into one
Yes when we're together the world smiles
And when we're together it feels right
We'll live for the future and its scenes
When we're together, my co-star and me
When we're together the planets align
When we're together I burn from the inside
We'll for forever in this insanity
When where together, my co-star and me
Yes when we're together the world smiles
And when we're together it feels right
We'll live for the future and its scenes
When we're together, my co-star and me
When we're together the planets align
When we're together I burn from the inside
We'll for forever in this insanity

You grow your nails too long
There's scratches on your arms
You taste like orange chocolate
You always put your hands in my pockets
Your teeth are not quite straight
Your mood swings oscillate
Your language is appalling
And you play with my hair in the morning
Your imperfections are so beautiful
I can't control
My animal soul
Your imperfections have got me on a chain
Can't concentrate
I'm a sucker for your beautiful mistakes
And sometimes when we kiss
You touch my fingertips
Synthetic words can't hide me
Passion breeds like death inside me
And slowly we become one
We stick like chewing gum
I want your language to be appalling
I want you to play with my hair in the morning
Your imperfections are so beautiful
I can't control
My animal soul
Your imperfections have got me on a chain
Can't concentrate
I'm a sucker for your beautiful mistakes
Your imperfections are so beautiful
I can't control
My animal soul
Your imperfections have got me unashamed
Can't concentrate
Your imperfections make you what you are
My defective star
My inelegant love
Your imperfections are so beautiful
I'm out of control
. . .

I threw out the photographs
Like yesterday's flowers
I tried to erase the past
But it won't go away
And those were the curtains
That you had made
But one thing's for certain
The ghost of you stays
I painted the second room
And cleared out the basements
And smelled some of your perfume
On a scarf that you made
The Salvation Army collected your things
I gave them your jewellery
All the bracelets and rings
Your clothes in black bin bags
I gave them away
I tried to move on
But the ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
I threw out the photographs
Like yesterday's flowers
I tried to erase the past
But it won't go away
I wake in the morning
And try to be brave
But it's hard to move on
. . .

This country looks like one big car park
The winters are so very long
And everybody wonders
Where the light has gone
And Europe has its moving state lines
But Africa has winter sun
And you and me
We're just two creatures on the run
And we'll go where the crowds don't stare
And no one frowns at what we wear
The phone might ring
The rain might sting
oh but we don't care
We'll fly over the endless ocean
We're heading for the winter sun
'Cos you and me
We're just two creatures on the run
And Europe has its moving state lines
But Africa has winter sunshine
And you and me
We're just two creatures on the run
And we'll go where the crowds don't stare
And no one hates us for our hair
The phone might ring
The rain might sting
oh but we don't care
We'll fly over the endless ocean
We're heading for the winter sun
'Cos you and me
We're just two creatures on the run
America's our supermarket
In India we'll take some stopping
'Cos you and me
We're just two creatures on the run
In Asia we can mend our breakdown
'Cos you and me we must escape now
And you and me
We're just two creatures on the run
You and me
We're just two creatures on the run
You and me
We're just two creatures on the run
You and me

She runs in the rain
It's the capital connected with her fate
Stepping on the statues and on trains
We are under covers
She giggles like a child
With a smile of attention in her life
It's written on a t-shirt and it lies
But there's no other
'Cos we are the lovers
We are the lovers
we're different colours
But we stand up as one
We are the lovers
We are the lovers
Two different colours
But we stand up as one
All the silly things we do
Just remind me of the ther?see of you
Kissing on the statues and going through
And getting into trouble
She runs in the cold
It's the capital connected with her bones
Jumping into taxis here we go
'Cos there is no other
'Cos we are the lovers
We are the lovers
We're different colours
But we stand up as one
We are the lovers
We are the lovers
Two different colours
But we stand up as one
'Cos we are the lovers
We are the lovers
We're different colours
But we stand up as one
We are the lovers
We are the lovers
Two different colours
But we stand up as one
la-la-la la-la
la-la-la la-la

Eyes that stare through television
Intermission in his mind
Where there once was such ambition
That blared like a bass line
When the bass line's right
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shattered like some broken glass
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Bits of paper
For his past
Years are scattered like the rain drops
Sits at the window through the empty day
Competitions in the paper
Stares in the sky
When the sky turns grey
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shattered like some broken glass
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shattered on the metal glass
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Bits of paper
For his past
Bits of paper

The pages burn, the babies scream
And lovers text in Japanese
The more you give, the more they need
The more you live, the less you see
Religion breeds like a disease
More people spit on refugees
The more you live, the less you see
The more you give, the more they need
In this brave new century
So mother where do I belong
And mother what should I believe
Just look what happened to your son
In this brave new
In this brave new century
We sit and choke on magazines
And worship shit celebrities
The more you give, the more they need
The more you live, the less you see

I'm shaking and aching and talking to the sky
I shiver in the night that I can't sleep
You're dark as the mascara
that drips down from your eyes
Look what you've done to me
You're as dark as the ocean
As cold as the rain
You've got me weak with emotion
You're such a beautiful pain
Such beautiful pain
So I shelter in the wardrobe
And shiver on the stairs
And I slide down in the gutter with the leaves
I tried to talk to God as if he is really there
Look what you've done to me
You're as dark as the ocean
As cold as the rain
You've got me weak with emotion
You're such a beautiful pain
And I cling to my pillow
And scratch at my veins
You kiss like a killer
You're such a beautiful pain
Such a beautiful pain
Such a beautiful pain
As dark as the ocean
As hard as the rain
You've got me weak with emotion
You're such a beautiful pain
And I cling to my pillow
And scratch out my veins
You kiss like a killer
. . .

When I hear the men outside my window
Kicking down my door
All the megaphones are screaming
Letters of them all
As you walk in through the gate and visit me
Would you please, in the asylum
When they're counting out the chemicals
And doing daily tasks
Giving out prescription drugs
And putting on their masks
Would you wonder through the ground
To visit me
As they opened up the gates
And send the key
Would you please, in the asylum
If they burn my brain away
Would you understand
If they try to hold me down
Would you hold my hand
Could you stand, stand the asylum
In the asylum
In the asylum
. . .

Estuary girl you're not the one
You don't belong to the world that I'm from
Your lazy words blow like confetti in the wind
in the wind
Estuary girl you're not part of my scene
Your feet don't belong on my upholstery
And sometimes I sink when you call me on the phone
On the phone
Oh but if you follow me
I will follow you to the unknown
Oh like Apollo, like Apollo we'll fly to the moon
Oh Yes if you follow me
I will follow you to the unknown
Oh like Apollo, like Apollo 13 we'll explode
Sad as a song, a child of the streets,
Your skin don't belong on my designer sheets
In eyeliner you wrote me a note
that I'll never read at all
Estuary girl
But if you follow me
I will follow you to the unknown
Oh like Apollo, like Apollo we'll fly to the moon
Oh yes if you follow me
I will follow you to the unknown
Oh Like Apollo, like Apollo 13 we'll explode
Oh yes if you follow me
I will follow you to the unknown
Oh like Apollo, like Apollo we'll sink like a stone
Oh yes if you follow me
I will follow you to the unknown
Oh like Apollo, like Apollo 13 we'll explode

We're all looking for a love as strong as death
That's part of our minds and part of our flesh
Looking for a love
That takes away our breath
Equally heart and equally head
To be a wave that crashes over us
To be a wave that crashes over us
Like summer rain that washes over
Over us
Like summer rain that washes over
Looking for a love as strong as death
That's equally heart and equally head
And I wonder if this love that people say
Is as strong as death
Is out there somewhere
Or just in their heads
Is it a wave that crashes over us
Is it a wave that crashes over us
A summer rain that washes over
Over us
A summer rain that washes over
Over us
Over us
Over us
. . .

Fall southern rain
Through my fingers
Through my veins
Fall southern rain
And wash her away
Fall on this empty man
Drip like nails
Through my hands
Fall Southern Rain
And wash her away
Her love was a lullaby
There was something deranged
in her eyes
And her sugary skin was
hungry for change
Fall southern rain
Through the gutters
And the drains
Fall Southern Rain
And wash her away
Fall like the southern snow
Touch the winter of my soul
Fall southern rain
And wash her away
Yes, her love was a lullaby
And she looked kind of strange
when she smiled
And her sugary skin was
hungry for shame
Fall southern rain
Through my fingers
Through my veins
Fall southern rain
And wash her away
Fall like the southern snow
Touch the winter of my soul
Fall southern rain
. . .

We hide in your shadows,
you don't know our names as we take you trays,
And we don't seem to matter
with our straightened hair and our vacant stare,
We are clumsy, we are strange,
We are jealous, we are plain,
We're the shit that stains your daisy chain,
Oh but we'll be born again,
We drift like a landslide,
with our almond eyes, like a human tide,
But yes we love our families
and our children too just like you do,
We are clumsy, we are strange,
We are jealous, we are plain,
We're the shit that stains your daisy chain
Oh but we'll be born again
We are nothing, we are sand,
We're the dirt that's on your hand,
Strung together like a daisy chain
. . .
