Verse 1 It was early in the morning before the sun had got out of its bed I was lying in the half-light thinking thoughts that i should long ago have left I was turning over tables thinking about the things we used to say How I wanted to be with you how I wanted you to be so far away But all of my wishful thinking it got burned up with the arrival of the dawn And I was left with only tatters I was left to face another day alone Chorus Take your pale white lips Take those games you play Take your wicked thoughts and Take your love away Wont you Take your love away Take your love away Verse 2 The sun was unrelenting I was high and I was stalling once again I could see that it was daytime but I pulled the cover higher up instead Well id been telling myself stories by the likes of Keats and Coetzee and the boys But it only made me blacker – forgetting is a tune that takes a long time And though we entered with our papers some confusion, somewhere on the road Meant we started chasing shadows till in the end we had nothing left to hold Verse 3 It was nightfall ‘fore I realized just how quickly, time can fly away Another day of nothing, another day of everything the same I had visions in the darkness, you were captured , you were held against your will I was battling through the forest when I woke up to find the bedroom empty still But all of my wishful dreaming it got twisted, well it never lasts that long I was left with only tatters I was left to face another night alone

Ive been out on my own now for one hundred days Ive been out in the rain Ive been out in the rain My corners are crumpled, my pages have run All the colours have gone Where have all of them gone Unwanted storm damaged, detrital waste Such a terrible waste Such a terrible waste But somehow you fail to see what is ever so clear You hold me so dear You hold me so near But there's nothing between us No, nothing at all Nothing at all The king of the Pharisees he's up on the hill Hes talking there still Hes talking there still But no one who’s down here believes half his lies They all wear their disguise We all wear our disguise It stretches forever like an invisible wall An invisible wall An invisible wall But there’s nothing between us, no nothing to see Why do i look for you Why do you look for me You give me your honey, you give me warm milk You iron my shirt Yeah you iron my shirt You wrap me in muslin, you wrap me in silk Right up to the hilt Right up to the hilt Well theres nothing between us , we’re one and the same we’re one and the same we’re one and the same You make me forget my name

Alaro 03:31
Verse 1 He wore a tom ford suit and a carlo franco tie yeah he was gonna be famous and make all the rich girls cry but she surprised him in his room down on the ivory coast she had him in her mouth before he could even close the door They spent the first three days in the pouring rain Before he realized, deep inside to make the change Verse 2 They travelled fast abroad in the dead of night Under deadened sky they passed away and out of sight On the other side of a slowly turning world They danced together like a hand put in a glove Though they were happy in the southern dolomites They took a chance, they to a boat to the other side Verse 3 But after two long years on those dusty desert roads he awoke one morning to find himself alone he turned around and he thought of the evening tide and where she'd gone and how he felt so dead inside and though he waited fifteen years for a wind to blow her ship back in - she never came back to alaro

Verse 1 When I had you to myself I didn't want you around Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd But someone picked you from the bunch one glance was all it took Now it's much too late for me to take a second look CHORUS: Oh baby give me one more chance (show you that I love you) Won't you please let me (back in your heart) Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go (let you go baby) But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back) (I want you back) (I want you back) (I want you back) VERSE 2: Tryin' to live without your love Is one long sleepless night Let me show you girl That I know wrong from right Every street you walk on I leave tearstains on the ground Following the girl I didn't even want around Let me tell you now CHORUS: Oh baby all I need is one more chance (show you that I love you) Won't you please let me (back to your heart) Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go (let you go baby) But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back) (I want you back) (I want you back) (I want you back)

Well honey Ive fallen ‘to a bottomlesss hole you sucked me right in and I fell to the floor a dark, distant hallway of marble and pearl I looked for your hand... but you’d gone Well if I should fall for a foreigners arms I've got nothing to lose but the wake of you charms and the princess that saw me cross over the road she was crying... she was crying a thousand confusions rain down on my mind as we turn to the west and we look for a sign but there nothing is changing as governments roll on the crest of a wave of distrust of the soul I have cash in my hand and a phrase on the wall they had written it large for the good of us all but my minds haunted visions turn into a scrawl when the hard light of day makes you gasp and you crawl Ive got nothing to give you save all of these songs but they arent much good for building up a home if you shelter behind them you only get torn as the direction it turns depends where youre born
