- THE MAN WHO ALMOST SHAVES
Those nights were cold but I never felt it
The ice on my tongue blowing smoke rings
like a grown up like a man who almost shaves

The light shone on me tonight
The night exploded around me tonight
And that first kiss was glorious and the smell of you.

Does everyone else know about this
Does anyone else know about this now that she's gone.

Those nights were frantic we were desperate
With my tongue in your mouth blowing smoke rings
like a grown up like a man who almost for a moment

The light shine on me tonight
The night exploded around me tonight
And that first kiss well it was glorious and the smell of you

Does everyone else know about this
Does anyone else know about this...

- CALLING HOME
Don't want to listen to the words you say
Communication satellite I heard it's on its way
Think about
Don't want to listen to the words you say
Communication satellite I heard it's on its way

But how can I even try
When I don't know reasons why

He's calling home
just like his ma says
Says he's home
Satellite you home
He's calling home

A little bit of tension a little touch of pain
Communication well it's sad but it all has to be said my way
If you think about
Don't want to listen to a word you say
Communication satellite well on its way

But how can I even try
when I don't know the reasons why
He's calling home

- DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT FEELS ?
If you're strong enough it'll work out
Another day another year a little older
and you've finally found yes that it's fresh

When there's no love you crawl out
Another day another year and she says
it's always there yes and it's fresh.

No matter how I want you
You'll never see it
Oh no is this a nightmare I've created
Another life here I mean it's only

I'm alone here it's a cold night
do you know how that feels?
It's a special case there's a full moon
Can you feel it, can you feel it?

It'll work out if you want it
There's another world yes but it's fresh
When there's no love and there's really no point
when you hide from these things that you know I can't give
Yes but it's fresh

No matter how I want you
You'll never see it
Oh no is this a nightmare I've created?
Another life here I mean it's only

I'm alone here it's a cold night
do you know how that feels?
It's a special case there's a full moon
Can you feel it, can you feel it?

- CRAWL TO ME
When I'm in Waterloo I think about
Sunsets and cherry cola
The lights are bright but it's cold against my skin
Cause this is the day I said I won't go

She says crawl to me

It's a lovely day
You don't know that you've hurt me
Can I take you home
But you don't know how it hurts
You say you love me
But you don't know that you've hurt me.

In Penny Lane there was a barber shop
The owner's gone and the sign's pulled down
But Dr. Robert's he's a positive man he says
Today's the day I think I should go

She says crawl to me

It's a lovely day
You don't know how you've hurt me
Can I take you home
You don't know how it hurts
You say you love me
But you don't know that you've hurt me.....

- WAR CRIES
Saving money for a rainy day
Someone else is giving it all away
It's a strange world
Like it or not it's the place to be
Someone says it's fooling me
But I can forgive it

Sounds like war cries to me

Save money for a rainy day
Someone else has taken it all all away
It's a strange world
But like it or not it's the only place to be
Someone says it's fooling me
But I can forgive it

Sounds like war cries to me

I don't like you, in fact I despise you
Everything I ever try you wont forgive me
It's a strange world

- HER FIRST MIGRAINE
Her first migraine living with him
was like love affairs ending in prescriptions
I know you're not happy and I'm taking advantage
of the fact you're jealous
I wish I'd thrown the apple back

She says you've changed completed by a severe low of nerves
She says you arrange things but you've given it all away

Don't try to explain
Don't give it a name
This mess that you're into
You try to avoid
You try to forget
this mess that you're into

At least you've found something useful you can do
You're good in bed but you haven't cracked the rest yet
if I could do it all again then I'd do it over you
and me we sweat and cry she says

She says you've changed completed by a severe loss of nerve
She says you arrange things but you've given it all away

Don't try to explain
Don't give it a name
this mess that you're into
You try to avoid
You try to forget
this mess that you're into

- DIGGING FOR WATER
Believe in magic
Believe in all those senses
that you had
when you were in school
Don't sacrifice
your imaginations
at home in your bed

Digging for water
You're not the only one
who's digging for water

Seduced by pleasures
consumed by all the sermons
that you heard when you were in school
Don't sacrifice your imaginations
at home in your beds

To share in this golden age
We're all mortgaged
and it's worth it
and you know it's hard
to share in this golden age

Digging for water

- BLUE TO GREY
Only lovers take the time
Only lovers feel inclined
It's masochistic
Only lovers see your faults
Only lovers make amends
It's common practice

Only lovers can discover
Only lovers see your troubles
Only lovers make amends
Only lovers tell their friends

As the blue turns to grey
As the blue turns to grey
