The character actor plays romantic leads and the kitten curls in wet anticipation, The opportunity is here. It's not the first time, it's not a dream, she cowers in the corner, she pretends It's just a scene. The Maitre D' has seen it all before, the acto...

I tear a page from the book of faces, Throw your letters in an open fire, I couldn’t say that I still despise you But I’m finding it hard to not to After all that was said not done it’s time this thing was over Did I want you to change your mind I don’t h...

Do you still keep paper flowers in the bottom drawer with your Belgian lace taking them out every year to watch the colors fade away? Do you still believe in fairy tales, in battlements of shining castles safe from the dragons that lie beneath the hill? Ar...

I come to life on a monitor screen, a click away I can post status updates, share my profile, Check out my photos they're not really me, they're of some actor I have to be someone different just so you'll like me, because I'm not special, but I know th...

She dreams china white behind her eyes of china blue Her future wrapped in velvet and her memories wrapped in warm cotton wool And the coffee grounds Are burying the hours that she killed In another murder of a day Her patience starts to crumble Like a...

Do you remember the magic of the moment, When forever was only words away, When we believed everything was certain, All we had to do was fulfill promises we'd made, Cherish hope between us and our dreams were always safe, We'd always be together and in that I...

I found a new religion yesterday, I'd just cleared immigration JFK A priest got in a Cadillac, The shoe shine boy sang gospel As God and his accountants drove away. You'll see him coast to coast on live TV, in a stadium Rocked by Satan just the night be...

The stars are fading, ashes to ashes and dust to dust, The bread we have broken, the wine we drank from tarnished cups, And I stopped believing in miracles a long long time ago, I lost my faith and I sacrificed my soul, I worshipped fallen idols, chased f...

Doc: "Tattoo Shop" Fish: "Hi Doc" Doc: "Hey Fish, what are you doin'?" Fish: "If you don't mind, we're gonna record this. Is that cool?" Doc: "Oh that's cooler 'n hell. Hell yeah, 52's biggest dream man You know his biggest dream was, me and him go party...

I don't know if you can see The changes that have come over me In these last few days I've been afraid That I might drift away So I've been telling old stories, singing songs That make me think about where I came from And that's the reason why I seem So far aw...

Maybe it's you or maybe it's me, maybe it's just the weather. I just can't decide I can't make up my mind, Tomorrow seems like forever. It's just a change of heart that's all it is, It's just a change of heart that's all it is, I'm just falling apart, as...

Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress Hiding in her cellophane world in glitter town Awaiting the prince in his white Capri Dynamic young Tarzan courts the bedsit queen She's playing the actress in this bedroom scene She's learning her lines from glossy m...

On the rebound, fumbling all the lines Dreaming bartenders, bourbon and saxophone, Out of luck, out of charm, out the game of rejections in a cigarette city Only courting the homing of direction on the Cinderella search, Cinderella search But the Samarit...

Just another day on the circle line, losing myself as I follow signs, Beneath the surface underground I keep my feelings deep inside. Just another face in another crowd, taking my place without a sound, I follow strangers blindly through toward the so familia...

I've got a reputation of being a man with a gift of words A romantic, poetic type or so they say But I find it hard to express the way I feel about you Without getting involved in the old cliches In the old cliches, it's the old cliche This song's begu...

Wheels within wheels, turning wheels, tumbling towards a conclusion. A crimson cascade, the blood in the bowl, And the mind that you're in is walking the world but you feel like you're walking on water, Face up to the facts, face up to the truth, face up to re...

big fish el prez kelly joyce, sì! Su le mani dai su le mani di più su le mani così più su, dai! Domani so che dormirò fino a quando vorrò possiamo far mattino possiamo fare tardi con i miei amici e le mie amiche al party non ho bisogno di consigl...

I watch the tv every night, I stay awake by satellite, I hope and pray the nightmares, Stay away today. An oily shroud on a coral reef, A black cloud's hanging over me. When I hit on the remote, The programmes stay the same. Credo, credo, credo, credo...

In the cornfields speckled poppies glow in a twilight, moving shadows, From the High Wood the reaper walks, a harvest to be gathered, The skylark’s solo fateful cry, the hares alert now scattered, The pheasant raised by beating drums in a field prepared f...

All that you left behind in this empty room was a question for which an answer was due, If I admit to the truth, I admit to the lie One bottle, one glass, a crisp Chardonnay, outside in the park the maples ablaze, The ghosts from the hill whisper your name W...

A naked man, across the lawn, ghosts of morning walk a carpet of tears, Croquet balls, scattered moons, drowning sorrows on a sea of green. The fairy falls with broken wings; I hold it close to me and then let it fly, Another dream, another you, shattered...

Dear friend, it's been a long, long while I've been meaning to write you But it was never my style But what is these days now I'm a family man Do you blow sincere kisses to mistresses Secrets in afternoons Do you wear your disguises, feign the surprises...

There's a hole in my heart the tears in the dark have dried up and gone by the time that it takes to run through to the end of the night, through this hole in my heart, a hole in my heart There's a space in my head a hollow you left by my side in the bed wher...

I heard a battle raging on the other side of the wall I buried my head in a pillow and tried to ignore it all. Every night when I hear you I dream of breaking down your door an avenging knight in shining armour, to rescue you from it all. From this family...

Sometimes I feel I lost something In gaining everything, But I can't put my finger on what it was, It's just one of those nagging feelings, Like sitting with your back to an open door Waiting on a favourite stranger. I find it hard to talk about, its not easy...

Rosebuds scattered across the lawn like the squares at Waterloo With bayonets of thorns repelling small children in search of lost tennis balls Imaginary cannonballs that were fired at the legs of galloping cavalry Resting their dreams in the shade of the appl...

There are vampires in the park, Malgorzata, But I only hear the sound of dancing bears. They're shooting stars in Warsaw, Malgorzata, Malgorzata do you care? Do you believe that anything that I could say would sort your life out? What's the difference?...

A 'sto giro è grossa...! Rit: Quando montiamo sulla jeep di big Fish: E' Grossa! suonando hits su hits scendono in pista le miss coi mega beats che fanno urlare gli mc's E' Grossa! Dovunque andiamo non ci credono che è proprio così! Quando montiamo sul...

Chill, break of day, a light frost thawing, Sun, pale and grey, a spectral morning, Tractors crawl, horsepower straining, carve the earth the ploughshares turning The sod that hides where dead men lie, the lost and fallen of wars gone by Gathering the iron har...

We got 140 stations on satellite beaming on down to our home - but I'm watching you, I've got half a million bills to pay, you never hear a word I say - I dream of you, Oh I feel so incomplete, Oh, Oh, it seems so incomplete, If we could only close the distan...

Don't talk to me about justice, freedom, truth and democracy, When all you left me were false hopes, lies, empty promises, Now you're crying betrayal, demanding attention and sympathy, You forget your own treason, your actions and the consequences of your self...

I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Gardens Heading out west for the Lothian Road An Evening News stuffed deep in his pocket Wrapped up in his problems to keep away the cold Grierson's spirit haunts the dockyards (Where) the only men working (are on the)...

All the way from Bucharest your skin crawled on the way to Hollywood Through a whole in the wall You saw the free world trading in bones There's a guardian angel at the window Staring at the corner She's got nowhere to go She's in the free world trading her b...

The car finally burned out around three. The blue beacon of a silent patrol car threw new shadows into the street turning the window into a flickering monitor screen I'd seen the kids torch the vehicle before I left on a nightly surfing run to a cybersex site...

There's something I want to ask you Before it's too late It's been on my mind since the first time we met It scares me now more, now there's more at stake It seems we're so close yet so far away Could you turn me down gently Would I be out of order If I decla...

You should have listened to what your mother said You should have listened to what your father told you to do But you always did just what you always wanted to do Now you end up here singing in a gilded cage And for half your life you were wishing you were hal...

It's so funny, you don't call at night, always missing in action, I'm left out in the cold and you'd never have thought I was thinking, Turning it over Putting the pieces in place and building a case for my anger I'm taking it in, I'm taking my time in taking...

He met the world as a Dalkeith boy, raised from a shaft at Monktonhall In a well oiled cage, That locked away his dreams, An '85 veteran face from the gallery, A ghost from the civil war in the family He stood his ground on the picketline 'Til all that...

Old man checks his rear view mirror, wispy hair, familiar eyes Journeys alone, unsure of the exit, straddling lanes his signals ignored Deaf to the horns, blind to the anger, stalled in the traffic of a fast moving world The Man with a stick Long rod dipp...

The turtle and the scorpion, the riverbank the deal, To cross the open water they mutually agreed, Out there in the distance, the other side in sight, Banking on forever, holding on for life, I can see the other side; I can see the other side, I want to see th...

Rain comes; delivered in the city, wash the feet of the angels at play, Waters graced with garlands of roses, in the Conchya Torro the fountains cry. I play the Prince; you play Ophelia, tragedies dance in the light of your eyes, Sauvignon Blanc toasting the...

I punched the clock in at thirty-five I thank the Lord that I'm still alive Sometimes I find it hard to believe That my hearts still beating And I'm still on my feet I'm gonna give you Give you a mission statement I'm gonna give you Give you a mission stateme...

Oily river, running deep, dirty water racing through the city streets, swollen gutters, summer storms, walking wounded stand to in another dawn, Marching in silence one eye on the time, one eye on the madness around them, They don't know they're blind, His min...

One man, one time, one life, one night he had a vision, Two lanes of blacktop disappear into the night, Three calls were made to different numbers in four cities, Five minutes later the deal was falling into place, Numbers, sorting out the numbers, Six shell...

Time was when I called you before we went to sleep No matter where we were, No matter the moment, no matter the time Time was when the words we spoke were always true, There was no need to lie or hide at that time the answers we knew, There were no questi...

Old crow hop hop hopping why do you act so shamelessly, Old crow hop hop hopping take some time hop over here Saw you dance in Vincent's wheat fields, watch you dance on Rembrandtsplein, Dance with the devil on the edge of darkness, you danced them silly you...

I'm running out of options, running out of road, got no sense of direction, sliding out of control. Going in search of nowhere, just some place to hide, from these omnipresent problems, I just can't hide from life. You set sail under cover of the darkness,...

When the zephyrs pulse the sails I take the tiller in my fingers, Feluccas dancing, flirting on the swollen Nile, Slowly touch the distance the meniscus of horizon a shimmering mirage across the desert sands I follow silken threads in coral caves in soft...

So sorry, I never meant to fall in love with you, Don't worry, I know you think I have to let go, Believe, I would stay but we know that we'll wake up alone, Pretend, That there's nothing there between us They don't know the full story, The one we never can t...

There were no sirens, I heard no alarms, This situation has somehow got completely out of hand It’s no illusion; it’s not a dream, My eyes are open and all is as appears, It’s a perfect nightmare; it’s a perfect nightmare, In an imperfect world I missed the wa...

Empty churches, empty pews, in the subway nothing moves and the static on the radio is drowning out the sound of raingod's dancing, Empty playgrounds, empty bars, I can't remember how it was before the flood when all I had to do was simply recognise...

Raw meat for the balcony Another mugging in tin pan alley Another heart of attack takes the centre stage You might think I'm getting cynical But after these years I can still pass the physical still got my corner, still got my edge And the waitress takes an o...

Yes, hey, original fish & el prez Ho due parole da dirti, hey, tu non vuoi andare via! Resta ancora, per quanto sia possibile [Tu non puoi andare via!] Non sei sola, no, non voglio perderti [Dai lo sai sei cosa mia, è così.] Ma è difficile dondolare...

With this rites of passage, cruel twist of fate, with every turn of every card I never see, until it's too late, the deed is done and leaves me wondering just where our love has gone I cannot say in honest truth that I still trust all my feelings for you. You...

We could talk for hours and we do about nothing, and avoid talking about anything that could cause us problems, that we couldn't ignore, and have to talk about, to sort something out. We got to keep talking, Keep talking. So we're talking, and that's something...

Still as a breath held as a sigh, still as a heart that denies, the final truth, the breaking news, on the edge of a moment where we hope and we pray that there’s still time, there’s always time, time to look back, time to regret, time to remember just how we...

Hunched foetal in the corner of my soul My fingernails are bleeding from climbing up the wall This time you really hurt me right down to the core And I'm desperately trying to find a reason to forgive you for it all I saw your life as a shadowplay In a trance...

Out the picture out the frame I took myself out of the game, So afraid I ran away, I shot the craw, I played the fool; I played the field I was seduced by other dreams, I sowed my seed I flew the scene I shot the craw, I dance without you, I dance without yo...

A hand held over a candle in angst-fuelled bravado A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu And you sit there and ask me to tell you the story so far This is the story so far Shuffling your memories dealing y...

Dance, dance, dance milady Weave your spell Take the floor milady Catch a tiger by it's tail Catch this tiger by it's tail I caught your breath milady Fell into your smile Watched my own reflection Swimming in your eyes Swimming in your eyes So Fel...

I'm a soldier in the forever wars, no photos of a family in my wallet, No i.d., no credit cards, I don't exist, I never have. I never have. Raised in jungles I quickly learned to read the trees, Schooled in deserts I walk on shifting sands. Neutral shado...

I don't trust the government, I don't trust alternatives. It's not that I'm paranoid, it's just thats the way it is. Every day I hear a little scream inside. Every day I find it's gettin louder. I just want to reach out and touch someone, 'Cause I find I need...

And then it was over and we took our applause. We passed the peace pipe and thought no more About the scenes that were missing, about the lines we had crossed. And we smiled at each other and knew that the moment was lost. I let you snuff out the candles,...

I want to be there in the morning, I want to wake up by your side. If I can make it back I'll be there, if I can catch the early flight. I'll bring you dragon's teeth from silver beaches, shells from Africa. I'll give you China dolls and silken shawls, orchids...

Where beggars take cheques and children steal credit cards from the pockets of wrecks that lie in the road. I came to in my future and that was just yesterday, unsure of my past that's a knot in my gut. You buy me a drink then you think that you've got the ri...

The body lay on fragrant earth under empty skies in an open field, A shallow grave, unmarked, unnoticed, in crumbling furrows carved by rusted ploughs, They will bury your empty coffin; they will raise for you a stone, They will know you fell in glory, In the...

The newspaper headlines were big and bold; Our country was going to war, To fight for the freedom of nationhood, To defend us from invading hordes, The general pointed with steely glare, Delivered the rallying call, We signed off our lives with a stroke...

He met her, she had me Spiralling ribbons, cut the cord away The twists of life, the knots of dreams This was before the great unraveling In time, no strings attached, so wild and free No ties to bind, a world before us We threaded hopes within the tape...

In the gnawing bite of winter; The winds, bone chilling, howl Pale skies of swirling snowflakes Lay a shroud upon the ground To a scarred and shattered landscape Some brief dignity is shown Where the dead remain unburied On the dark and blood-stained ea...

The plot was lost or so I found, I went in search of higher ground, But my head was in the clouds, chasing dragons. I thought I could fly on wings of desire, didn't realise how far I could fall, How low I could crawl, Snakes and ladders, a world of snakes and...

Just another nigger, a spooky piece of white trash, Just another jewboy, spic, mick, yid, raghead motherf****r living on the planet. Just before it kicks in just like a silver bullet, Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and tell me that it's worth...

Mr President, you don't know my name, But you could find it if you really cared, Because I pay my taxes and I pay my dues, All I ask for in return is the truth. Can we just be honest, I've heard that speech is free So please believe me that this address is sin...

It's your decision, it's not up to me, and I've seen it all before got a wardrobe full of T's, You got the hunger, you got four-wheel drive, you want to reach for the heaven want to touch the sky, You wanna be the big man, you got big plans, big ambitions you...

With a heart full of sky, your eyes full of moon, I left you dying, I heard you cry, Just a fool to myself, there could be nobody else, I was lying to even think I could survive without our love, I can't deny it. Then you showed me the way, and I will follow,...

Rockets are flying, signal distress over no man’s land, With hopes they are fading, splutter and die in a leaden sky, The wounded resignation, the corpses on the wire, A frozen tableaux flickers in the light Flares are falling, chasing the shadows, nervous...

She holds court, queen of all the mountains Snow leopards hide amongst her hills, The bong billows clouds up to the ceiling Fresh stars day-glo in the night. Mai-Tais at the bar, she only sees charlie at weekends, The cocktail monkeys are climbing, a towe...

There's a message that's been left in the long grass by a stranger who's passed this way before, planted seed from which we reap a bitter harvest from his long forgotten war, I left my love in a grave and I marked it with a cross that will stand so straight a...

If you really knew how I felt, You wouldn't need to be here asking Those questions, Those irritating questions, moving in metaphors, Speaking in tongues. Your gunboat diplomacy, You accuse me of heresy, of being irreverent, My opinions irrelevant, when...

You sit and think that everything is coming up roses But you can't see the weeds that entangle your feet. You can't see the wood for the trees cos the forest is burning And you say it's the smoke in your eyes that's making you cry. They sold you a view fro...

Listen to me Just hear me out If I could have your attention Just quieten down for a voice in the crowd I get so confused and I don't understand I know you feel the same way you've always wanted to say But you don't get the chance Just a voice in the cr...

And in the end I found beginnings Not a vision A wake up call Raised from the dead by a beating heart And at last I can see it all And my eyes were opened To the darkness In my hand a burning flame A spark of life To touch the fuse And blow these c...

I was thinking about thinking About thinking about thinking I was thinking Contemplating situations And the visions blew my mind In the gutter I was crawling As the shells just kept on falling All around me What color is God? (Why can't you tell me?...

This time last year I was in love, this time last year there was a dream That was in motion that was so real. The sparks that danced within our eyes, in our hearts there was a fire, We burned so brightly, we were so alive, We were going home, going home, we...

When you're down to the last skin And the limelight splutters to darkness in the death of a Zippo At the backstage door the last fan has long disappeared With a plastic bag stuffed full of memories If only you'd signed them, if only to testify, if only to...

He struggles to the breakfast table, still hung-over, hardly able to come to terms with Monday's new demands, To activate the microwave, to reheat Friday's take away, the cafetiere to muster up some coffee from the grains, He lights the next last cigarette a...
