Celebrity Blues

Where do I see myself five years from now
Pontiacs and Cadillacs driving round somehow
Conductor without orchestra, actor without the bows
My fifteen minutes filled with why, when and how?
I want to see my name in lights on the silver screen
Rubbing shoulders with royalty and what might have been
Faking at being famous, recognised at being both
Lonely souls sold on my TV screen
Do you hear me calling
You're curious to see
A chaotic conscious mixed with a misery
I'll keep on talking to every magazine
It don't make it right
For you and me
I'll have a TV show that follows me night and day
My considered opinions have nothing worthwhile to say
You can see me in meltdown for a season or so
But I might get asked to leave if my vote count gets too low
Why can't I say you're great without falling to bits
Is it that I have Celebrity Blues and with it all the kicks
Do you hear me calling
You're curious to see
A chaotic conscious mixed with a misery
I'll keep on talking to every magazine
It don't make it right
For you and me

If I say to you
Through the darkness I will follow
And I will not lose sight of you
To unburden you
Of your loneliness and your sorrow
And I will lift this load from you
As I have felt this way too
In your head (In your head) are plans to destroy and to damage
In your heart (In your heart) I won't let you fade to black
In your soul (In your soul) there is light beyond the shadow
In your heart (In your heart) I won't let you fade to black
If I say to you
I will follow through the darkness
And I will steer your storms for you

Painting Pictures

Oh my baby don't you cry
'Cause now you got a tear in your heart and in your eyes
With those stupid games you play
But without hope how would we cope anyway
Oh anyway, anyway
So look behind my mind
Where thoughts breed so unkind
Oh those pretty pictures that you paint
In your head
Oh my baby can't you see
Being a bitch doesn't work that way with me
I won't be coming back to beg
'Cause now I'm going to get on with my life instead
Anyway
So look behind my mind
Where thoughts breed so unkind
Oh those pretty pictures that you paint
In you head

Sonatine 1

I saw the papers
Were you pushed or you jumped
Were you pushed or you jumped
I heard you were headed on the up
When they found you
Your head was hung down
Your head was hung down
What makes the man
Leave all he loves?
We all fall down
I heard the broadcast
The girl was alive
The girl was alive
But it wasn't to be
And the hacked celebrities
In the name of the news
In the name of the news
What makes the people
Screw with other peoples lives?
We all fall down
All the people are far away, far away from the hell that they've made

News in my head
Get out, I write on the run
Read all about it through the magazines
Nobody's with nothing to say
As we plough through time
I'm burning up with the speed of things
Cling to myself but I left him behind
A conscious effort to remember all things
We all fall down waiting for all things
We dumb it down without the need to think
We all fall down waiting for all things
We dumb it down without the need to think
Read no words
Pictures showing us what to be
We all get bored, we are the dead
It's all about you don't you see
When you take him out
The good in you is slipping away
We all fall down waiting for all things
We dumb it down without the need to think
We all fall down waiting for all things
We dumb it down without the need to think

Waiting at the station
For the girl to call
Lost in this location
Detached and drawn to the heavens, part of it all
In open skies heavens shine out of the city
A clear night reveals all views
Orion's stars travel to me
Illuminates my way to you
There's no centre of the universe
But 200 billion stars
We'll watch the suns expire
And expand beyond our skies
Don't you know that my love is like a comet
Circulating round your sun
But it keeps that perfect distance
I'm unraveled, I'm undone

Richmond Xmas
05:19
|

Staring out from a North London Hill
My moment of clarity
Next to her my soul starts to soar
A life without gravity
She came to me and I know
All that I am, I give to you
One life to live
I do for you
Blue and gold, my soul was sold
One heart to give
For you, I do
She's slender in her embrace
A strength that can't be undone
I'm slight in her fairness
My prize to be won
She came to me and I know
All that I am, I give to you
One life to live
I do for you
Blue and gold, my soul was sold
One heart to give
For you, I do
All the time
Love would fade away
But not with you
