Did what I could
for one of us
I always thought it was for you
and when I lied
oh, I lied for us
because you never heard the truth
I am lying alone tonight
don’t go home
where are we?

If we are ghosts
(a long, long time ago)
It looks like we could have made it better
We are ghosts
(long, long time)
me and you
We are ghosts
(long, long time ago)
we could have made it
We are ghosts
(long, long time…)
me and you
(..ago)

Look at the time it’s taken me
to get away from what was said
I’ll never leave
I’ll always love
you know that all those words are dead
bearing it yours tonight
move aside
I’m taking you home

On the radio
she was that summer song
Packing them in
making them dance
a lot of the roam
taking the time
to sing it
I don’t need you
but I’m lost
lost without you tonight
have you no heart
where are we?

Hold
a long life ghost
we are forced
they’re taking down our sattelite
we are chosen things
I’ll follow your star tonight
(We are ghosts)
if not tonight
then when will she say
we’re not ghosts

First they ignore you
Then laugh at you and hate you
Then they fight you – then you win
When the truth dies
Very bad things happen
They?re being heartless again

I know it?s coming
There?s going to be violence
I?ve taken as much
As I?m willing to take
Why do you think
We should suffer in silence
When a heart is broken
There?s nothing to break

You?ve been mixing
With some very heavy faces
The boys have done a bit of bird
They don?t kill their own
And they all love their mothers
But you?re out of your depth son
Have a word

I know it?s coming
There?s going to be violence
I?ve taken as much
As I?m willing to take
Why do you think
We should suffer in silence
The heart is broken
There?s nothing to break

All is wonderful in past lives
Dreaming of the sun she warms
You should see me in the afterlife
Picking up the sons of dust

When you think we’re lost
We’re exploring
What you think is worthless
I’m adoring
You don?t want the truth
Truth is boring
I got this fever need to
Leave the house leave the car
Leave the bad men where they are
Leave a few shells in my gun
Stop me staring at the sun

I know it?s coming
There?s going to be violence
I?ve taken as much
As I?m willing to take
Why do you say
We should suffer in silence
My heart is broken
There?s nothing to break

Tell a joke
Tell it twice
If no one else is laughing
Then why am I
I split my sides both times
And laugh untill I crie
Oh Lord
Please, make me pure
But not yet

Don’t have to try
I just dial it in
I’ve never found a job
That for me was worth bothering
I’ve got a ton of selfish genes
And lazy bones beneath this skin
Oh Lord
Make me pure
But not yet

Smoking kills
Sex sells
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
But the other one looks cool as hell
I know I’m gonna die
So my revenge is living well
Oh Lord
Make me pure
But not yet

I stopped praying
So I hope this song will do
I wrote it all for you
I’m not perfect
But you don’t mind that, do you?
I know you’re there to pull me through
Aren’t you?

So I look for love
I like the search
And I’ll be standing for election
All across the known Universe
That every president
Get the country she deserves
Oh Lord
Make me pure
But not yet

And I’ve been seeing
Somebody’s wife
She said she’d leave him for me
And I said that wasn’t wise
You can’t lie to a liar
Because of all the lies
Oh Lord
Please make me pure
But not yet

Waiting for God to stop this
And up to your neck in darkness
Everyone around you was corrupted
Saying somethin’

There’s no dignity in death
To sell the world your last breath
They’re still fighting over
Everything you left over

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

And
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profit s go to waste
All that’s left in any case
Is Advertising space

Through your eyes
The world was burning
Please be gentle
I’m still learning
You seemed to say
As you kept turning up

They poisoned you with compromise
At what point did you realise
Everybody loves your lies
But you ahahh

Special agent for the man
Through watergate and vietnam
No one really gave a damn
Did you think the CIA did

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

And
No one learned from your mistake
We let our profits go to waste
All that’s left in any case
Is Advertising space ooooohh

I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profits go to waste
All that’s left in any case
Is Advertising space

I’ve seen your daughter
Man shes cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you

Oh spread your wings
Before they fall apart
Home is where the hurt is darlin’
Follow your heart

So she walks into this dead end bar
Sticks her handbag
On the chair
So she walks into this dead end bar
Puts hers handbag on the chair
And she waits
For words we shared
When we were 15 and still cared
Cos she feels I’m a scar from the wound that time cant heal
And I said
Don’t let your dreams out of your head
Stick it to the man instead
Don’t fool your heart
Lying about the fears that you had back then

Did you try to change your life
Did you ever try to change your life
You repeat and repeat and repeat
Now what’s up with that

Now she loves somebody else
In flash clothes
She was the girl with the acid stare
And now she paid to have
One of those

And she weighs the word she says
And she knows
You exist
Now she feels I’m the scar from the wound that time cant heal

Oh spread your wings
Before they fall apart
Home is where the hurt is darlin
Follow your heart

Spread your wings
Before they fall apart
Home is where the hurt is darlin
Follow your heart

Heart, heart, heart

in my black eye
i can feel it
moving
closer
cant you hear it

only gift you gave to me
self forfilling prophecy
here to change the sounds that shaped my life

and if you die before i leave
what on earth becomes of me
look around theres noone here
to love me and hold me

take me
dancing
i love music
keep on
singing
we wont loose it

bet ya
leaving
missing noone
if your hearts run free
why cant we go on

go on to till they kick us out
we’ve everything to talk about
i could bring a song into your life

if you should die before i leave
what on earth becomes of me
look around theres noone here
to love me and hold me

maybe i been away to long
and no wonder they are always right but is there wrong
they say there is nothing i can do
but to talk to strangers and wait for you

if you should die before i leave
what on earth becomes of me
look around theres noone here
to love me and hold me

and if you die before i leave
what on earth becomes of me
look around theres noone here
to love me and hold me

hey hey here comes noone
another friend to have a go on
and she asks me do i miss her when shes gone
and i reply as much as i miss anyone

oh! woohoo
and I’ll be your gay friend
cus your marriage never ends
till we fuck and fight again
theres a space between us
so jump into my bed
pretend the world is dead
always in my head is a space between us

hey lord forgive us if we’re wrong
make sure that he never hears this song
and she says that im the opposite of a hallmark card
she asked me how im feeling
when i dont want to think that hard

oh! woohoo!
and I’ll be your gay friend
cus your marriage never ends
till we fuck and fight again
theres a space between us
jump into my bed
pretend the world is dead
always in my head is a space between us

it’s the late show now
when does the late show end
when god is in the details
forget to show my friend
i have a friend again
you my friend again
my gay friend

oh! woohoo! erhh
so jump into my bed
pretend the world is dead
always in my head is a space between us
and i’ll be your gay friend
as your marriage never ends
till we fuck and fight again
theres a space between us
oh! woohoo!

Oh it hurts
When you’re too blind to see
Please don’t read my mind
I tell the truth to me

Sin sin sin
Look where we’ve been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I’m just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside

Hush hush hush
To speak is a sin
And neither of us
Need rescuing
Just relax
It’s what Jesus would do
We’re made in his image baby
Let’s ride this thing through

Oh it hurts
When you’re to blind to see
What about us
Well it was just for me

Sin sin sin
Look where we’ve been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I’m just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside

I won’t sing of amore
It don’t sound sincere
Love is a cliche
But it fits not here
I’ll disappear

Sin sin sin
Look where we’ve been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I’m just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside

Deep inside

It’s love
Clean sex joy
I love you
You love my
Hate how it it feels inside
Feels inside
Feels inside

And if it hurts
To be so blind
Why dont you try
being kind

They decided to become
A little more romantic
Creep up on you
While you sleep
I’ll make you less attractive

Born without a spine
Why dont you try
Being kind

For those attempting their mother’s way
You’ll find a way to soldier on
For those whose love evaporates
I pray you find where you belong
All the words I have repressed
Are coming out today
I guess
It is justice not respect and avarice

And that just leaves comtempt
For you all
Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah
Yeah

I am just a simple man
With simple expectations
Deep regrets
They’re seldom met
God speed my generation

And with ? on my mind
I should try being kind

For those about to die
We salute you
For those of about to cry
We love you
For those about to die
We salute you
For those of about to cry
We love you

You see the trouble with you
Is your in love with me
What a strange thing to do
What a brave place to be

So we dive
On sunset strip
Our hearts so deep
I drown in it
And as it breaks
I swim through cracks
And leave with words
I can’t take back

You see the trouble with me
Monkey see monkey do
There’s no u in tomorrow
A better offer came through
You see the trouble with you
There’s no trouble with you
So when you say that you love me
That stops me loving you

So she stays
On sunset strip
Our hearts so full
I drown in it
She’s waiting for
My words to break
The one true love
I couldn’t make

So she walks
That golden mile
Men will try
And catch her eye
We both know
What could have been
On sunset strip
Our broken dream
