I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through

If the night turned cold and the stars looked down

And you hug yourself on the cold cold ground

You wake the morning in a stranger's coat

No one would you see

You ask yourself, who's watched for me

My only friend, who could it be

It's hard to say it

I hate to say it, but it's probably me

And everybody's jumping

An intercity disco

The wheels of steel are turning

And traffic lights are burning

So if you like to party

Get on and move your body

I just have to sing along to this every time.

Paper Town Central, Essex.

And I wonder if I ever crossed your mind?

For me it happens all the time.

Or

If I gave you my soul for a piece of your mind,

Would you carry it with you till the far edge of time.

Could I rely on your faith to be strong,

To pick me back up and to push me along.

Tell me, you'll be there in my hour of need.

You won't turn me away.

Help me out in this life i lead.

Remember the promise you made.

Anaesthetised the pain in a heart of lead.

Maybe what you said, wasn’t what you meant

A beautiful irony indeed such a good album

(Incorporating "Madame George" into the end of "Say hello Wave Goodbye "is also incredibly beautiful in its own right)

Things are much harder than in the afterworld

"Remembering you, fallen into my arms

Crying for the death of your heart

You were stone white, so delicate

Lost in the cold

You were always so lost in the dark

Remembering you, how you used to be

Slow drowned, you were angels

So much more than everything

Hold for the last time then slip away quietly

Open my eyes, but I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words

I could have held on to your heart

If only I'd thought of the right words

I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you"

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.

And with the way you look I understand that you were not impressed.

But I heard you let that little friend of mine take off your party dress.

I'm not going to get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines,

'cause I don't know if you've been loving some body.

I only know it isn't mine.

Alison, I know this world is killing you.

Oh, Alison, my aim is true.

She stares at the screen and the little words of green trying to remember what to do next, a trace of frustration crosses her face searching for the key she press, and I would her help if I only knew how but these things are a mystery to me too,and it feels like the corporate eyes they are watching, she fears for her job and I look at her name tag, and I think to myself both you and I we never asked for any of this.

Severance,

The birds of leaving call to us,

Yet here we stand

Endowed with the fear of flight.

.

Overland

The winds of change consume the land,

While we remain

In the shadow of summers now past.

.

When all the leaves

Have fallen and turned to dust,

Will we remain

Entrenched within our ways.

.

Indifference,

The plague that moves throughout this land

Omen signs

In the shapes of things to come.

Well, she was selling pineapple, playing ukulele

She laughed and whispered to me, "Yes, come tonight to the bay"

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old

And darker days are drawing near

The winter winds will be much colder

Now you're not here.

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky

And one by one they disappear.

I wish that I was flying with them

Now you're not here

Like a song through the trees you came to love me

Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way

You always loved this time of year.

Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now

Cause you're not here

Like a song through the trees you came to love me

Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes

As if to hide a lonely tear

My life will be forever autumn

'Cause you're not here!

Lyrics

Sunday morning going slow

I'm talking to the radio

Clothes and records on the floor

Memories of the night before

Out in club-land having fun

And now I´m hiding from the sun

Waiting for a visitor

Though no-one knows I'm here for sure

Dancing laughing

Drinking loving

And now I'm all alone

In bedsit land

My only home

I think it's time to cook a meal

To fill the emptiness I feel

Spent my money going out

I've nothing I'm left without

Clean my teeth and comb my hair

Look for something new to wear

Start the nightlife over again

Kid myself I'm having fun

Dancing laughing

Drinking loving

And now I'm all alone

In bedsit land

My only home

Look out from my window view

I've really nothing else to do

Read a book and write a letter

Mother, things are getting better

Watch the mirror count the lines

The battle scars of all the good times

Look around and I can see

A thousand people just like me

Dancing laughing

Drinking loving

And now I'm all alone

In bedsit land

My only home

Dancing laughing

Drinking loving

And now I'm all alone

In bedsit land

My only home

I'm waiting for something

I'm only passing time

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow —

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.

I know very few will get this one. But means a lot to me.
