Flight Home
03:46
|
|||
|
I missed you on my flight home,
Hid my sad with my shades,
Slept well thanks to something just to numb the pain.
I missed you over new year,
Sad champagne, auld lang syne,
I slept about sixteen hours while I dreamt you're mine.
And I don't think I'm crazy,
I just howl at the moon,
I look west so at least I'm looking right at you.
I'm like a needle on a compass,
I'm like a needle in a groove,
And there's nothing like the crackle and I'm missing you.
But what's the point in doing all of that?
Breaking all the little pieces of my heart?
Cos you could glue 'em back and and then break 'em all again,
Or you could hold me tight and never let me leave again.
I missed us in the arcade,
I missed us in a bar,
I missed stumbling home with you on my arm.
I missed the eighties like you don't believe,
I showed you all my favorite ends,
I took the train down at Second and I met your friends.
And what's the point in doing all of that?
Breaking all the little pieces of my heart?
Cos you could glue 'em back and and then break 'em all again,
Or you could hold me tight and never let me leave again.
And what's the point in doing all of that?
Breaking all the little pieces of my heart?
Cos you could glue 'em back and and then break 'em all again,
Or you could hold me tight and never let me leave again.

Hat & Coat
03:05

Grab my hat and my coat
Cos I'm not dying here
This town is not befitting
Of a man of my convictions
You can take this as a warning, sunshine
But you can't take me for a fool
Did you hear me on your radio, yeah
Did you hear me banging on your door
Never failed just to unimpress me
Never failed just to leave me bored
It's not that you scorned me, burned me
It's just
who chooses beige to paint their world
Grab my hat and my coat
Cos me and you are done and dusted
I left your money on the sideboard
It's not enough to cover the petrol there
Never failed just to unimpress me
Never failed just to leave me bored
It's not that you scorned me, burned me
It's just
who chooses beige to paint their world
Grab my hat and my coat
Cos I'm not dying here

Love Won't Pay The Rent
03:41
|
|||
|
Summer in the city where my girl was looking pretty
And noone ever asked us how we'd pay the rent
I touched her on the cheek as I kissed her on the neck
And I put her on a pedestal, she smiled at me
And every little bruise and every little hurt
Came spilling out of me like a bloodstain on my shirt
I held her on the subway and I kissed her in a cab
She hit me like some lightning, like a thing I've never had
Our love alone won't pay the rent
But I've been banking on you cos you're the best I've ever had
Our love alone won't pay the rent
But I've been banking on you cos you're the best I've ever had
Waking up together, kiss me, turn on the TV
Two connected puzzle pieces, what is you and me
I kissed you in the kitchen, pressed you up against the sink
I kissed you in the stairwell in the hall of our building
And every little bruise and every little hurt
Came spilling out of me like a bloodstain on my shirt
I held her on the subway and I kissed her in a cab
She hit me like some lightning, like a thing I've never had
Our love alone won't pay the rent
But I've been banking on you cos you're the best I've ever had
Our love alone won't pay the rent
But I've been banking on you cos you're the best I've ever had
Our love alone won't pay the rent
But I've been banking on you cos you're the best I've ever had
Our love alone won't pay the rent
But I've been banking on you cos you're the best I've ever had

Building A Ship
03:26
|
|||
|
I was so tired of being alone in the city
I was so tired of walking under city lights
But it'd stop me feeling down if I could leave this old town
One day I'll be leaving tonight
She took the M14 back to her old apartment
She fed the cat and cooked a meal and went to bed
And it'd stop me feeling down if I could leave this old town
One day I'll be leaving instead
And you gave me a river so I'm building a ship in my yard
And I'm sorry I'm leaving, this town hurt my feelings
I'm done
And before I knew it I was in a carriage
With a pistol and a badge and all this gold
And as their horses matched our stride I thought this isn't the time
I'd rather stay good looking than old
And they pulled on masks and galloped through their graces
And they spun their barrels, clicked them into place
And as they boarded that old train I thought ship not this again
And all I wanna do's leave this place
And you gave me a river so I'm building a ship in my yard
And I'm sorry I'm leaving, this town hurt my feelings
I'm done
And finally we stood besuited in a courtroom
You sipped your water and you stared me in the eye
You slid me drinks, passed the bar, but I'm not very far
From doing what it'd say to make you sigh
And you gave me a river so I'm building a ship in my yard
And I'm sorry I'm leaving, this town hurt my feelings
I'm done
And you gave me a river so I'm building a ship in my yard
And I'm sorry I'm leaving, this town hurt my feelings
I'm done

Dust To Dust
03:20
|

If it was up to me to design the world for us
I'd make it not so far across
The oceans would be nothing but a lake
And I wouldn't have to take a train
A car, a boat, an aeroplane
To hold you all night long again
I miss you
And if God designed me from the start
I'd ask him for a bigger heart
That won't break when you're so far away
Or I'd ask Him for a way to swim
So I could be with you again
I'd swim that ocean right back to your arms
Cos I would die for you
Yeah I would try for you
Do anything for you
If you would let me
My future's mad at us
But we're just dust to dust
Because in you I trust
Our love is stronger
If it was up to me to save the world again
I'd start with yours and go from there
You can count on me if you really need me
But if all you really seem to need
Is just some pointless hand to squeeze
It won't be long cos I was packed already
Cos I would die for you
Yeah I would try for you
Do anything for you
If you would just me
Our future's mad at us
But we're just dust to dust
Because in you I trust
Our love is stronger
And you can lay me down
I'll let you lay me down
And you can lay me down
I'd let you lay me down
If it was up to me to design the world for us
I'd make it not so far across
The oceans would be nothing but a lake
And I wouldn't have to take a train
A car, a boat, an aeroplane
To hold you all night long again
I miss you

Saturday night
Laying in our cold flat
Laying here in each other's arms
Waiting for the delivery guy
We gaze at the stars
Wait for something to knock us off our feet
Early Sunday morning
My pocket's as empty as
How my heart is too full
Hey do you suppose
That a love like this rose
Could blossom anywhere else
And I just want out of here
But I'm not leaving unless that I get to take you
The orange light glow hazed the way
And I don't understand how to live in this land
Can I have your autograph
I put your picture on my wall like it's nothing at all
But it wouldn't sing to me
You sing me to sleep and I woke on our sofa again
And I just want out of here
But I'm not leaving unless that I get to take you
The orange light glow hazed the way
And I don't understand how to live in this land
Like trips to Menorca
And the things that I bought ya
We didn't have a thing
And everything all at the same time
Saturday night
Laying in our cold flat
Laying here in each other's arms
Waiting for the delivery guy
We gaze at the stars
Wait for something to knock us off our feet

Hang A Fire
03:48
|
|||
|
I came alone, and believe me I'll leave alone
But now we're circling the dance floor
Clinging on for dear life
I felt alone, and believe me I was alone
I saw your pictures of the river
A river I'd capsize in for you
I couldn't try to change you
I couldn't hang my fire on your heart
And I'm burning at a fair lick
Coming leaving so quick
Don't leave me
You beat me home
Unpacked the shopping and
Put on an old LP
And as the motor turned the table
Our hearts were clinging on
For dear life
I'm so alone, believe me when
You're nowhere near
I cherished every little moment
Rewound my favorite part
Again and again
I couldn't try to change you
I couldn't hang my fire on your heart
And I'm burning at a fair lick
Coming leaving so quick
Don't leave me
I couldn't try to change you
I couldn't hang my fire on your heart
And I'm burning at a fair lick
Coming leaving so quick
Don't leave me
I couldn't try to change you
I couldn't hang my fire on your heart
And I'm burning at a fair lick
Coming leaving so quick
Don't leave me

Big Old Heart
04:01
|

|
Thought I was saved
I was further gone than the dead of night
Like a hurricane
Breaking through my mind like there's
No tomorrow
I dream of you
You drag me underneath of your deep blue ocean
Where I held my breath for you
They're bubble shaped
Breaking on my waves like some worn out feelings
Or a window pane
That's wrapped around my heart like it's
Autumn's fashions
I dream of you
You drag me underneath of your deep blue ocean
Where I held my breath for you
And I wouldn't mind
If you sunk us like stones together
If you don't have the time
That's ok because I've got forever
This big old heart won't float
Too full of love and the salty sea air
And I hope that you hope
Blow on my whistle and I'll be right there
I couldn't write
Another sunny letter from my storm cloud thunderin'
Flashing in my eyes
Breaking on my waves like
A ball of lightning
It breaks by me
You're sinking all my fleet in the deep blue ocean
Where I held my breath for you
And I wouldn't mind
If you sunk us like stones together
If you don't have the time
That's ok because I've got forever
This big old heart won't float
Too full of love and the salty sea air
And I hope that you hope
Blow on my whistle and I'll be right there
And I wouldn't mind
If you sunk us like stones together
If you don't have the time
That's ok because I've got forever
This big old heart won't float
Too full of love and the salty sea air
And I hope that you hope
Blow on my whistle and I'll be right there
And I wouldn't mind
If you sunk us like stones together
If you don't have the time
That's ok because I've got forever
This big old heart won't float
Too full of love and the salty sea air
And I hope that you hope
Blow on my whistle and I'll be right there

Astoria
05:37

Ride up, ride down
We've been run all over town
But all we need
Is the touch of each other in a magic dream
Cos I've been thinking about the thought of you
Thinking about not being alone
And I've been waking up chock-full of you
I waved my flag, surrendered, went home
I went home on the F train
It's hard to say
That there isn't a star I wouldn't find for you
I'd pull 'em down to the ground
I'd do it over and over if you want me to
Cos I was thinking about the time when
We were struggling just to afford our own names
We'd watch the planes land in the park like
Stars pulled down again and again
Cos my girl's from Astoria
You and me against the world
I'd give you everything you asked me to
Do anything you ever asked me to
They can't catch us, not me and you
I'd give you everything you asked me to
Do anything you ever asked me to
Pack up, let's go
Cos we're running out of time you know
In you I love
But the future's got it in for us
And I don't care if we're outnumbered
I don't care if the odds are stacked against me
Because I'd fight for you again, again
Like stars pulled down from skies for you and me
Cos my girl's from Astoria
You and me against the world
I'd give you everything you asked me to
Do anything you ever asked me to
They can't catch us, not me and you
I'd give you everything you asked me to
Do anything you ever asked me to
You and me against the world
I'd give you everything you asked me to
Do anything you ever asked me to
They can't catch us, not me and you
I'd give you everything you asked me to
Do anything you ever asked me to
