- BURNING THE ICEBERG
Yeah Yeah Yeah
I recognise your problem
this doesn't help me though
you can head the list of people I don't need to know
and the sun up in the... it just as you choose you choose toward
the unknown region, there's uncertain feeling.

I want to be your pilot until the luck runs out.
I want to free fall until the squeeze is on,
NO! Burning the iceberg
take a little walk with me
learn to live in this world will you please, but

Yeah Yeah Yeah
I recognise these problems
I can't help you though
You must head this list of people that I need to know
I want to be your pilot until the luck runs out
I want to feel you until the squeeze is on
I want perspiration running down your back
Let's sparkle No?

I want to be your pilot until the luck runs out
I want to be your pilot
BURNING THE ICEBERG NO?

- TUPELO HONEY
You can take all the tea in China
You can put it in a big brown bag for me.
You can sail it right round all the seven oceans
and drop it into the middle of the deep blue sea

- HOLD ME TONIGHT
She said "It's a bit of a mess, isn't it?
I'll hold you tonight, stroke away the pain
I can't begin to take back.
It's a bit of a mess, isn't it
I kiss your face I kiss your neck
Sometime I can only think about myself
Hold me tonight

- THIS IS NOT WHAT WE CAME HERE FOR
Be my guest, I'll blindfold you
and whisper words that may surprise
Somewhere between seduction and a lie.

Blue should be the moment
when Purple should he now and then
Orange is the place to be
But red is meant for you and me

Leave your senses behind, cause you're happier now

This is not what we came here for
Someone better point this out and free your hands
Go for the moon and fantasize
Don't waste your dreams on anything less
If you wake up dreaming and it's good for you
Then improvise and fantasize
Go for the moon

Dry your eyes on paper tissues
that disintegrate in your hands
and leave your feeling unfulfilled and cross
Study maps with coloured flags,
with border through the lakes and streams
AND ENGLAND IS ALWAYS MUCH LARGER THAN ALL THE REST
If you could be somewhere else,
I'd like to think you'd be with me,
I may not be convincing but I hope, you're still surprised.

- CRAWL TO ME Part 2
When I'm in Waterloo
I think about Sunsets and cherry cola
The lights are bright but it's cold against my skin
Because 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 hurt me
Can I take you home
You don't know that that hurts
You say you love me
You don't know that you hurt me
It's a lovely day
You don't know that that hurts... me
She says crawl to me.

In Penny lane there is a barber shop
The owner's gone and the signs pulled down
But Doctor Hubert is a positive man
He says today's the day I think I should go

It's a lovely day
Crawl to me
Just a little stronger
You're growing stronger

GEORGE'S STREET Part 1
He takes the first train home
He's drinking his coffee from a mug
No sadness at all, at all
It's a sad day and beautiful world

But you haven't come that far
But in his dreams and in his dreams
No sadness at all

You don't know him he says he's changed
You don't know him he's the one
you left out in the rain in George's Street

- BROADWAY MALADIE
RED LIGHT
How can I defend myself against
these things that we've been through
I know I can't help myself
Tell me, do you think I'm weak
for all these things I have put you through
Sometimes I can't see myself
When the Sun goes down.

You can take my heart, you can take my soul
I don't care anymore
She keeps following me on Broadway.

BLUE LIGHT
How can I defend myself against
these things that I've been through
Often I can't help myself
Tell me, do you think I'm weak
for all these things I have put you through
Often I can't see myself
When the Sun goes down
I don't care anymore.

How could I defend myself against
the things you put me through
Often I can't help myself
Tell me, do you think I'm cruel
for all these things I put you through.
When the sun goes down on Broadway

- THIS IS REAL
Boarded the boat on the Northern Side
to our right the House of Parliament
and on our left the Peace Pagoda in Battersea Pork
I told you my grandfather unloaded the ships at Metropolitan Wharf
Michael Caine's just bought a flat with a river view for £2 million
You had coffee and I had a lilt

She told me herself "this is real" and it's real
How can I tell you a lie with that look in your eye
This is real, this is... The boat travelled west
The view changed from commercial to suburban
Tourists snapped the sights
It's a good April light

We got off the boat at Kew and we walked towards the gardens
It's hard to believe that you're still in London
Only the flight path to remind us.
She told me herself "this is real" and it's real
How can I tell you a lie with that look in your eye
This is real, this is...

- DROWNING BY NUMBERS
One day at a time two be happy
Three of us are going to be
Four ever together
But it takes time to be happy
How can I protect you.

Five forgotten faces
To six unknown places
All this eight has to be forever together
It takes time to be happy
But how can I protect you
But how can I direct you

- LOVE LOVE LOVE
I don't want you but I need you to feel
that there's someone there to hold on to
cause it's a feeling that I'm offering to you
and it's Love Love Love
makes the world go round

I don't like you but I need you to feel
that there's someone here to hold on to
cause it's a feeling that I'm offering to you
and it's Love Love Love
makes the world go round

I don't know what you've been told
middle aged women ain't got no soul
how can I explain to you the rudiments
the rules we choose
Cause there you go wasting your life away
waiting here, waiting for the perfect day
crawling around on all fours and waiting and waiting...

I don't want you but I need you to feel
that there's someone there to hold on to
Cause it's a feeling that I'm offering to you
and it's Love Love Love
makes the world go round

- CLOSE IT UP
They think you smile and they sit and talk about it
They set you up then they talk at home about It
I could surrender but let's not hand it to them
if I broke my back, I could dig my way out of it.

Close it up, Close it up

Hold me now
Today when the sun is shining
Even though it could be raining
Today I don't feel like complaining

Close it up, close it up

- TRAINS AT MIDNIGHT
There are voices in my head
that send me off against
any reasonable explanation
they've got their gods
me I just follow the rule of thumb
there are voices in my head
that sets me off again

It's the same, the same old story
the last note on the last train
Trains at midnight, on trains at midnight...

- GEORGE'S STREET Part 2
He takes the first train home
He's drinking his coffee from a mug
No sadness at all, at all
He's watching the birds across the fields

You don't know how much I feel
No sadness at all

You don't know him he says he's changed
You don't know him he's the one
you left out in the rain in George's Street

- WHAT BECAME OF ME
You're right everything that you say
I want everything to be like I want it to be
Everyone makes it easy for me
I'm cold and I'm calculating
Everything that you say is correct
All the details in every way
and I would like to thank you
for pointing this out to me
I may never have noticed what became of me
And I would like to thank you
for making this clear to me
I may have never noticed
