Feathers & Bones lyrics - The Clarks
She sang like a bird, high on a wire
At every chance, soulful as she could
And the words she chose where driven with such passion
But sadly, I never understood
She sang of God, but cursed like a sailor
Had manners of a queen, but grew up poor
With her broken mind she'd stare with no reaction
She didn't know her name, or mine, or yours
Hey, hey, hey
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
That all that's left are feathers and bones
Many years can bring you all the wisdom
Many years of memories all compiled
Was cruel to have to watch her heart grow older
While the rest of her turned back into a child
Hey, hey, hey
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
Hey, hey, hey
Scared and lost inside
Like a black hole in your mind
Sing low, I'm letting you go
And all that's left are feathers and bones
She sang like a bird, down to the wire
My love, I hope she understood
Hey, hey, hey
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
Hey, hey, hey
Scared and lost inside
Like a black hole in your mind
Sing low, sing low
'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
all that's left are feathers and bones
all that's left are feathers and bones
At every chance, soulful as she could
And the words she chose where driven with such passion
But sadly, I never understood
She sang of God, but cursed like a sailor
Had manners of a queen, but grew up poor
With her broken mind she'd stare with no reaction
She didn't know her name, or mine, or yours
Hey, hey, hey
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
That all that's left are feathers and bones
Many years can bring you all the wisdom
Many years of memories all compiled
Was cruel to have to watch her heart grow older
While the rest of her turned back into a child
Hey, hey, hey
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
Hey, hey, hey
Scared and lost inside
Like a black hole in your mind
Sing low, I'm letting you go
And all that's left are feathers and bones
She sang like a bird, down to the wire
My love, I hope she understood
Hey, hey, hey
Flying around this place
Those days are lost in space
Time goes, you know I know
'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
Hey, hey, hey
Scared and lost inside
Like a black hole in your mind
Sing low, sing low
'Cause all that's left are feathers and bones
all that's left are feathers and bones
all that's left are feathers and bones
All Or Nothing lyrics - The Clarks
I woke up on the bus after sleeping outside
I saw somebody's baby and I asked her for a ride
She told me she was going where the angels fear to tread
I laughed and said I've been there they left me for dead
We pulled up to the gate after the sun had gone down
I knew it from the visions I'd seen floating around
We walked along the garden he was waiting at the door
He laughed and said I know you, you better hit the floor
It's all or nothing inside
We're all just living on the dark side of lonely
It's all just rumors and sighs
It's the last, it's the first, it's the chapter and verse
It's a beautiful curse
They were dancing in the foyer they were crying on the stairs
Wailing in the swimming pool and passed out on the chairs
The vapor from the fire it was filling up the space
She said the devil has got a killing place
The stars are all out hanging in the trees
Out in the backyard standing in the shadows
Our friends are all gone you better leave with me
Breaking out the back door smashing out the window
Never gonna leave with me
We stayed a little longer she knew something wasn't right
The water kept on rising right up to the morning light
Her eyes were slowly shutting her lips were close to mine
I like the poison I just won't drink the wine
I saw somebody's baby and I asked her for a ride
She told me she was going where the angels fear to tread
I laughed and said I've been there they left me for dead
We pulled up to the gate after the sun had gone down
I knew it from the visions I'd seen floating around
We walked along the garden he was waiting at the door
He laughed and said I know you, you better hit the floor
It's all or nothing inside
We're all just living on the dark side of lonely
It's all just rumors and sighs
It's the last, it's the first, it's the chapter and verse
It's a beautiful curse
They were dancing in the foyer they were crying on the stairs
Wailing in the swimming pool and passed out on the chairs
The vapor from the fire it was filling up the space
She said the devil has got a killing place
The stars are all out hanging in the trees
Out in the backyard standing in the shadows
Our friends are all gone you better leave with me
Breaking out the back door smashing out the window
Never gonna leave with me
We stayed a little longer she knew something wasn't right
The water kept on rising right up to the morning light
Her eyes were slowly shutting her lips were close to mine
I like the poison I just won't drink the wine
Nothing Good Happens After Midnight lyrics - The Clarks
I just want to tell you
A little something you should know
It will drive you crazy
You'll say it's overblown
Father warned me
Said I wouldn't understand
'Til it's too late, maybe
Boy you better have a plan
Nothing good happens after midnight
No good will come of it
No one's gonna save you in the spotlight
Now it's too late to fix
How am I gonna save you
How am I gonna teach you, and make it right
How am I gonna shake you
How am I gonna reach you, just in time
Crossed my fingers
On a binge in town
And a tail light missing
Heard the sirens sound
So I'll try to save you
With this tale gone wrong
Sit back and listen
As I ramble on
I've got no good reason
None in reserve
If I can spare you
What I never learned
A little something you should know
It will drive you crazy
You'll say it's overblown
Father warned me
Said I wouldn't understand
'Til it's too late, maybe
Boy you better have a plan
Nothing good happens after midnight
No good will come of it
No one's gonna save you in the spotlight
Now it's too late to fix
How am I gonna save you
How am I gonna teach you, and make it right
How am I gonna shake you
How am I gonna reach you, just in time
Crossed my fingers
On a binge in town
And a tail light missing
Heard the sirens sound
So I'll try to save you
With this tale gone wrong
Sit back and listen
As I ramble on
I've got no good reason
None in reserve
If I can spare you
What I never learned
Irene lyrics - The Clarks
She came from this place
Such a pretty face
And she danced to the radio
She could sing a song
The boys came along
She didn't know how to just say no
There's gonna be a tall, dark man to wed
There's gonna be a cold, hard truth instead
She's waving goodbye to seventeen
From a long, white limousine
Some dreams are in the air some are seen
Irene
Well she owned this town
But couldn't settle down
They played her songs on the radio
But she partied late
And she made them wait
It's all there on the video
There's gonna be a long bus ride ahead
There's gonna be some cold hotel in bed
She's waving goodbye to twenty-three
From deep inside the machine
Some hands are in the dirt some are clean
Irene
Well she fell so hard
And her kids looked on
She passed on to the other side
It went downhill fast
You know nothing lasts
I heard her song on a late night drive
Shoulda been some bright, blue skies ahead
There's gonna be some cold, hard ground instead
She's waving goodbye to thirty-three
From a long, black limousine
Life's just as kind to you as it is mean
Irene
Irene
Such a pretty face
And she danced to the radio
She could sing a song

There's gonna be a cold, hard truth instead
She's waving goodbye to seventeen
From a long, white limousine
Some dreams are in the air some are seen
Irene
Well she owned this town
But couldn't settle down
They played her songs on the radio
But she partied late
And she made them wait
It's all there on the video
There's gonna be a long bus ride ahead
There's gonna be some cold hotel in bed
She's waving goodbye to twenty-three
From deep inside the machine
Some hands are in the dirt some are clean
Irene
Well she fell so hard
And her kids looked on
She passed on to the other side
It went downhill fast
You know nothing lasts
I heard her song on a late night drive
Shoulda been some bright, blue skies ahead
There's gonna be some cold, hard ground instead
She's waving goodbye to thirty-three
From a long, black limousine
Life's just as kind to you as it is mean

Take Care Of You lyrics - The Clarks
Let me start by saying that I love you
You know that I'd do anything for you
Ever since day one you know you were a wild one
And keeping you in line was hard to do
I did wrong I know I've been hard on you
And in return you put me to the test
And our blood is so much thicker than that water
All I ever want for you is the best
And it's weighing on my mind
I'm praying all the time
Lord just help me see this through
There are people in this world
Some are broken some are black and blue
And I know that you'll take care of me
And I'll take care of you
You're gonna want to go to California
To search for fame or stake your claim to gold
And that thing you'll talk about what you'll call freedom
Back in my day well we called that rock-n-roll
And it's weighing on my mind
I'm praying all the time
Lord just help her see this through
There are people in this world
Some are broken some are black and blue
And I know that you'll take care of me
And I'll take care of you
And I watch the sun rise in the sky
Another day and another year
And love and dreams and hopes and fears
And I don't ask why it's the ties that bind
Life is good but things are never easy
We laugh and cry and live and die alone
You hold on to the one that really matters
You let go of the light when that bird has flown
And it's weighing on my mind
I'm praying all the time
Lord just help her see this through
There are people in this world
Some are broken some are black and blue, it's true
And I know that you'll be strong
You'll have faith and you'll know love
You'll have one of your own brand new
And I know that you'll take care of her
And I'll take care of you
You know that I'd do anything for you
Ever since day one you know you were a wild one
And keeping you in line was hard to do
I did wrong I know I've been hard on you
And in return you put me to the test
And our blood is so much thicker than that water
All I ever want for you is the best
And it's weighing on my mind
I'm praying all the time
Lord just help me see this through
There are people in this world
Some are broken some are black and blue
And I know that you'll take care of me
And I'll take care of you
You're gonna want to go to California
To search for fame or stake your claim to gold
And that thing you'll talk about what you'll call freedom
Back in my day well we called that rock-n-roll
And it's weighing on my mind
I'm praying all the time
Lord just help her see this through
There are people in this world
Some are broken some are black and blue
And I know that you'll take care of me
And I'll take care of you
And I watch the sun rise in the sky
Another day and another year
And love and dreams and hopes and fears
And I don't ask why it's the ties that bind
Life is good but things are never easy
We laugh and cry and live and die alone
You hold on to the one that really matters
You let go of the light when that bird has flown
And it's weighing on my mind
I'm praying all the time
Lord just help her see this through
There are people in this world
Some are broken some are black and blue, it's true
And I know that you'll be strong
You'll have faith and you'll know love
You'll have one of your own brand new
And I know that you'll take care of her
And I'll take care of you
Map Of The Stars lyrics - The Clarks
Had a plan, from the time that I touched down
That I'd tame this stinking town
Show the world just how I fly
Squeeze a promise out of lies
I've got a map of the stars and a rental car
Two Jones Sodas and this beat up guitar
And I'm just tryin' to fit in
Just me and the world 'til death do us part
Lost in a town with freaks and no heart
But I'm transfixed in
Oooh, a map of the stars
So this plan said a prophet to my face
You won't make it in this place
Well the weak they fall and drown
Walk the streets sleep on the ground
Got a map to a place of many dreams
That get crushed to smithereens
Should have known when I arrived
It's made hopeless by design
Had a map of the stars and a cup made of tin
Lost in a town covered in sin
Who can be in....a map of the stars
How could I be in, believed I be in
Way out of reach down on Satellite Beach
You can see them
Straight down the hole with a piece of your soul
You can be them
Freeway never takes me home
So I fly between them
That I'd tame this stinking town
Show the world just how I fly
Squeeze a promise out of lies
I've got a map of the stars and a rental car
Two Jones Sodas and this beat up guitar
And I'm just tryin' to fit in
Just me and the world 'til death do us part
Lost in a town with freaks and no heart
But I'm transfixed in
Oooh, a map of the stars
So this plan said a prophet to my face
You won't make it in this place
Well the weak they fall and drown
Walk the streets sleep on the ground
Got a map to a place of many dreams
That get crushed to smithereens
Should have known when I arrived
It's made hopeless by design
Had a map of the stars and a cup made of tin
Lost in a town covered in sin
Who can be in....a map of the stars
How could I be in, believed I be in
Way out of reach down on Satellite Beach
You can see them
Straight down the hole with a piece of your soul
You can be them
Freeway never takes me home
So I fly between them
Nothing But You lyrics - The Clarks
This song's not about California
I won't salute New York
No stars and there're no diamonds
Won't spend on what I can't afford
These words don't lead to water
Won't mention pills or pain
Or count my friends that died.....no
It's not about some search for fame
I went for something different
I made your dreams come true
This song is what you asked for
This song's 'bout nothing but you
Way too long
I'll sing the things I want to say to you
Way too long....it's true
It's 'bout nothing but you
This dog don't die in Nashville
And I won't lose my mind
No phone calls, there's no crying
Won't be crossing any lines
I won't salute New York
No stars and there're no diamonds
Won't spend on what I can't afford
These words don't lead to water
Won't mention pills or pain
Or count my friends that died.....no
It's not about some search for fame
I went for something different
I made your dreams come true
This song is what you asked for
This song's 'bout nothing but you
Way too long
I'll sing the things I want to say to you
Way too long....it's true
It's 'bout nothing but you
This dog don't die in Nashville
And I won't lose my mind
No phone calls, there's no crying
Won't be crossing any lines
Magazine lyrics - The Clarks
I met a girl in Tennessee she wrote a song, it went to number one
Well we sat and had a drink, and she told me how it all had begun
One day she's singing in a coffee shop, shot up to the CMA's
Oh the world moves fast when you never know the time of day
When your face is pictured on the pages
When your name is out there on the scene
When your world is quickly rearranging
When your pictures are appearing on the pages of the magazines
She said, they started in a van, and then a bus, and then the planes would come
And they couldn't eat in restaurants, the bodyguards all had guns
Stars and stages, fame and all the love
Funny how life looks from above
Well a cold day came when the industry let her down
And all the handshakes and promises, buried without a sound
Friends she thought she had, like the wind were gone
She said I've got to admit it I loved it even though it's done
When your face is pictured on the pages
When your name is out there on the scene
When your world is quickly rearranging
Though your picture's disappearing from the pages of the magazines
Well we sat and had a drink, and she told me how it all had begun
One day she's singing in a coffee shop, shot up to the CMA's
Oh the world moves fast when you never know the time of day
When your face is pictured on the pages
When your name is out there on the scene
When your world is quickly rearranging
When your pictures are appearing on the pages of the magazines
She said, they started in a van, and then a bus, and then the planes would come
And they couldn't eat in restaurants, the bodyguards all had guns
Stars and stages, fame and all the love
Funny how life looks from above
Well a cold day came when the industry let her down
And all the handshakes and promises, buried without a sound
Friends she thought she had, like the wind were gone
She said I've got to admit it I loved it even though it's done
When your face is pictured on the pages
When your name is out there on the scene
When your world is quickly rearranging
Though your picture's disappearing from the pages of the magazines
Some Call It Destiny lyrics - The Clarks
You don't seem like a Monday morning girl to me
Tuesday got you on your knees
And nothing's gonna get you over that hump but maybe
Tell me what you need
Tell me what you like
Let me take you out tonight
Gonna be a Friday kind of love
Gonna be here every Sunday morning
You and me
Cause I got this crazy notion
Some call it destiny
Come ride that early morning train with me
We'll get down to the point you'll see
I got a lifetime full of goodnights waiting
Tell me what you need
Tell me what you like
Let me take you out tonight
I can't watch you walk away
No lonely Saturday alright alright
And I feel you coming on
And I know it won't be long, no it won't
We belong
Tuesday got you on your knees
And nothing's gonna get you over that hump but maybe
Tell me what you need
Tell me what you like
Let me take you out tonight
Gonna be a Friday kind of love
Gonna be here every Sunday morning
You and me
Cause I got this crazy notion
Some call it destiny
Come ride that early morning train with me
We'll get down to the point you'll see
I got a lifetime full of goodnights waiting
Tell me what you need
Tell me what you like
Let me take you out tonight
I can't watch you walk away
No lonely Saturday alright alright
And I feel you coming on
And I know it won't be long, no it won't
We belong
Take Me lyrics - The Clarks
For all the thank yous that I should have spoken
But I never did
For all the comfort that I should have given
But I never did
Take me, shape me, mold me from this broken frame
Take me, shape me, I don't wanna lose this again
For all the mending and the doors that you opened
I know you had your fill and I thank you
You saw me falling and I should have noticed
Now I always will and I thank you
Take me, shape me, hold me to this burning flame
Take me, shape me, I don't wanna lose this again
Let your light shine on
Show me what side I'm on
Let your light shine on
Show me what side I'm on
So shine on
Don't wanna lose this again
So shine on
Lose this again
But I never did
For all the comfort that I should have given
But I never did
Take me, shape me, mold me from this broken frame
Take me, shape me, I don't wanna lose this again
For all the mending and the doors that you opened
I know you had your fill and I thank you
You saw me falling and I should have noticed
Now I always will and I thank you
Take me, shape me, hold me to this burning flame
Take me, shape me, I don't wanna lose this again
Let your light shine on
Show me what side I'm on
Let your light shine on
Show me what side I'm on
So shine on
Don't wanna lose this again
So shine on
Lose this again
Broken Dove lyrics - The Clarks
I broke down the other day
Like when you died on that summer day
And all the sky was gray
And now my hope is gone
My love is singing an angel's song
Hold on be strong
It's hard while I'm gone
You're on your own but not for long
When the day comes I'm gonna take you
I fell down the other day
Going through your clothes trying to give them away
I thought that I could see the way
Cause all my dreams are there
In a box in a locket at the top of the stairs
Hold on be strong
It's hard while I'm gone
You're on your own but not for long
When the day comes I'm gonna take you home
A hundred shades of blue when they shine on you
Make you look like a picture in a book
And we carried love like a broken dove
In our hands God was laughing at our plans
And the water came and it carried us away
Through the hills through the valleys in the rain
And we went over the edge
And I heard you say that you got to hold on be strong
It's hard my love when I'm gone
You're on your own but not for long
When the day comes I'm gonna take you home
Like when you died on that summer day
And all the sky was gray
And now my hope is gone
My love is singing an angel's song
Hold on be strong
It's hard while I'm gone
You're on your own but not for long
When the day comes I'm gonna take you
I fell down the other day
Going through your clothes trying to give them away
I thought that I could see the way
Cause all my dreams are there
In a box in a locket at the top of the stairs
Hold on be strong
It's hard while I'm gone
You're on your own but not for long
When the day comes I'm gonna take you home
A hundred shades of blue when they shine on you
Make you look like a picture in a book
And we carried love like a broken dove
In our hands God was laughing at our plans
And the water came and it carried us away
Through the hills through the valleys in the rain
And we went over the edge
And I heard you say that you got to hold on be strong
It's hard my love when I'm gone
You're on your own but not for long
When the day comes I'm gonna take you home
True Believer lyrics - The Clarks
She stepped in the light
Opening night
And delivered her lines
Life is nothing she sighed
Nothing without
The fire inside
She lives alone
And cries when she paints
Self-portraits seldom seen
She swore she loved me and I believed her
Then she lowered her eyes
There’s a real thin line between actor and deceiver
She knew how to play the true believer
On the edge of the night
She studied her lines
For the very last time
Life is nothing she cried
Nothing without
Someone by your side
She lived alone
And died on the stages
Of her broken dreams
She swore she loved me and I believed her
And then I saw that look in her eyes
There’s a fine black thread between deceived and deceiver
She once played the true believer
Opening night
And delivered her lines
Life is nothing she sighed
Nothing without
The fire inside
She lives alone
And cries when she paints
Self-portraits seldom seen
She swore she loved me and I believed her
Then she lowered her eyes
There’s a real thin line between actor and deceiver
She knew how to play the true believer
On the edge of the night
She studied her lines
For the very last time
Life is nothing she cried
Nothing without
Someone by your side
She lived alone
And died on the stages
Of her broken dreams
She swore she loved me and I believed her
And then I saw that look in her eyes
There’s a fine black thread between deceived and deceiver
She once played the true believer
Inside lyrics - The Clarks
I don’t want to talk about the world today
Wars and revolutionaries fade away
I just want to know what kind of state you’re in
Did you kill your love did you lose your friend?
The middle of the nighttime what gets you through?
What pulls you back to daylight from the deep dark blue?
So tell me if your life has been a lonely ride
Did you take it on faith just to be denied?
Even if your broken heart’s a hundred miles wide
I just want to see what’s on the inside
I don’t want to read it in the news today
The ringing of a cell phone from a shallow grave
I just want to know how far and deep you’re in
Where’d you hide the bottle what’d you put it in?
The middle of the nighttime what gets you through?
What pulls you back to daylight from the deep dark blue?
So tell me if your life has been a lonely ride
Did you take it on faith just to be denied?
And even if your broken heart’s a hundred miles wide
I just want to see what’s on the inside
I guess we won’t be talkin’ ’bout the past today
Fingerprints and memories they fade away
I think I can tell what kind of place you’re in
Underneath the bruises and the dirty skin
The middle of the nighttime what gets you through?
What pulls you back to daylight from the deep dark blue
So tell me if your life has been a lonely ride
Did you take it on faith just to be denied?
And even if your broken heart’s a hundred miles wide
I just want to see what’s on the inside
Wars and revolutionaries fade away
I just want to know what kind of state you’re in
Did you kill your love did you lose your friend?
The middle of the nighttime what gets you through?
What pulls you back to daylight from the deep dark blue?
So tell me if your life has been a lonely ride
Did you take it on faith just to be denied?
Even if your broken heart’s a hundred miles wide
I just want to see what’s on the inside
I don’t want to read it in the news today
The ringing of a cell phone from a shallow grave
I just want to know how far and deep you’re in
Where’d you hide the bottle what’d you put it in?
The middle of the nighttime what gets you through?
What pulls you back to daylight from the deep dark blue?
So tell me if your life has been a lonely ride
Did you take it on faith just to be denied?
And even if your broken heart’s a hundred miles wide
I just want to see what’s on the inside
I guess we won’t be talkin’ ’bout the past today
Fingerprints and memories they fade away
I think I can tell what kind of place you’re in
Underneath the bruises and the dirty skin
The middle of the nighttime what gets you through?
What pulls you back to daylight from the deep dark blue
So tell me if your life has been a lonely ride
Did you take it on faith just to be denied?
And even if your broken heart’s a hundred miles wide
I just want to see what’s on the inside
Trampoline lyrics - The Clarks
It was never your face on the pictures I never had
There was never your place or mine, words I never said
Did he leave you hanging?
Did you make a real big scene?
I was never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
It was never your name on the postcards I never send
It was never our lives in a song that I never penned
Did you say I’ll show him
Who gets caught in between?
I was never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
Never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
You never place a call to a number you never had
There’ll never be a time we can say split it all in half
Did he bring you down?
Did he make you scream?
I was never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
Never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
Oh, I’m never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
There was never your place or mine, words I never said
Did he leave you hanging?
Did you make a real big scene?
I was never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
It was never your name on the postcards I never send
It was never our lives in a song that I never penned
Did you say I’ll show him
Who gets caught in between?
I was never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
Never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
You never place a call to a number you never had
There’ll never be a time we can say split it all in half
Did he bring you down?
Did he make you scream?
I was never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
Never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
Oh, I’m never your lover and I’m not your trampoline
Midnight Rose lyrics - The Clarks
They park the old coal cars on the inside track
Leave them there for awhile
And in the spring coriander grows
I walk the railroad ties to a secret place
Wait it out by the fire
And in the moonlit sky she glows
She’s pulling into town
But she’s leaving soon heading into the night
Whistle blows everybody knows
She’s on the move again
She’s climbing high I think I’m gonna try
To catch a ride on the Midnight Rose
They junk the rusting cars in the salvage yard
Leave them there for awhile
And in the summer the river slows
I drive the old dirt road to a secret place
Sleep it off through the night
But in the morning the blood still shows
They put the broken men on the edge of town
Leave them there for awhile
And in the winter a cold wind blows
I dig the last few feet the secret place
Leaving here tonight
And in the morning they’ll all know
She’s pulling into town
But she’s leaving soon heading into the night
Whistle blows everybody knows
She’s on the move again
She’s climbing high I think I’m gonna try
To catch a ride on the Midnight Rose
Catch a ride on the Midnight Rose
Leave them there for awhile
And in the spring coriander grows
I walk the railroad ties to a secret place
Wait it out by the fire
And in the moonlit sky she glows
She’s pulling into town
But she’s leaving soon heading into the night
Whistle blows everybody knows
She’s on the move again
She’s climbing high I think I’m gonna try
To catch a ride on the Midnight Rose
They junk the rusting cars in the salvage yard
Leave them there for awhile
And in the summer the river slows
I drive the old dirt road to a secret place
Sleep it off through the night
But in the morning the blood still shows
They put the broken men on the edge of town
Leave them there for awhile
And in the winter a cold wind blows
I dig the last few feet the secret place
Leaving here tonight
And in the morning they’ll all know
She’s pulling into town
But she’s leaving soon heading into the night
Whistle blows everybody knows
She’s on the move again
She’s climbing high I think I’m gonna try
To catch a ride on the Midnight Rose
Catch a ride on the Midnight Rose
Soul And Skin lyrics - The Clarks
I just read your letter
That bled from your pen
Lest I forget I’ve been let go
I’m a long gone player
In this theatre of the absurd
We sang the score and kept the sour notes
It was a kick in the shins
To drag me through it again
You ripped a fault line into my soul and skin
If you get this message
I figured it out
You locked the door but won’t let it close
Just tossed your letter
In a ball on the floor
Next to the pissed in cat box on the dirty oak
It was a kick in the shins
To drag me through it again
You ripped a fault line into my soul and skin
It was a kick in the shins
To drag me through it again
You twist heel in the ground
To push me further down
You ripped a fault line into my soul and skin
That bled from your pen
Lest I forget I’ve been let go
I’m a long gone player
In this theatre of the absurd
We sang the score and kept the sour notes
It was a kick in the shins
To drag me through it again
You ripped a fault line into my soul and skin
If you get this message
I figured it out
You locked the door but won’t let it close
Just tossed your letter
In a ball on the floor
Next to the pissed in cat box on the dirty oak
It was a kick in the shins
To drag me through it again
You ripped a fault line into my soul and skin
It was a kick in the shins
To drag me through it again
You twist heel in the ground
To push me further down
You ripped a fault line into my soul and skin
Sunshine lyrics - The Clarks
I stand on a bridge on the west side of town
I watch them put up and I watch them knock down
The river below is frozen in time
Nothing left of the five and the dime
I couldn’t see it I was in the sunshine
Sit in a bar north end of the street
I get around on my bike and my feet
Grey sky above is frozen in time
Nothing left of the reason or rhyme
I couldn’t see it I was in the sunshine
I’m carrying time right out the door
Walked out on love gave up on the store
Guess I had a good life wish I’d known at the time
I couldn’t see it I was in the sunshine
I wake up alone I wake up the same
A little regret and some debt in my name
Pictures of you frozen in time
Nothing left of the love that was mine
I couldn’t see it I was in the sunshine
I’m carrying time right out the door
Walked out on love gave up on the store
Guess I had a good life wish I’d known at the time
I couldn’t see it I was in the sunshine
I watch them put up and I watch them knock down
The river below is frozen in time
Nothing left of the five and the dime
I couldn’t see it I was in the sunshine
Sit in a bar north end of the street
I get around on my bike and my feet
Grey sky above is frozen in time
Nothing left of the reason or rhyme
I couldn’t see it I was in the sunshine
I’m carrying time right out the door
Walked out on love gave up on the store
Guess I had a good life wish I’d known at the time
I couldn’t see it I was in the sunshine
I wake up alone I wake up the same
A little regret and some debt in my name
Pictures of you frozen in time
Nothing left of the love that was mine
I couldn’t see it I was in the sunshine
I’m carrying time right out the door
Walked out on love gave up on the store
Guess I had a good life wish I’d known at the time
I couldn’t see it I was in the sunshine
Come 'Round Here lyrics - The Clarks
Sherrie don’t come ‘round here, don’t come ‘round here no more
Sherrie don’t come ‘round here, don’t come ‘round here no more
Hooked up with a bad man at a good time
Said she ran into a door
Left her by a thread on a life line
And that’s the reason why she don’t come ‘round here no more
Huey don’t come ‘round here, don’t come ‘round here no more
Huey don’t come ‘round here, don’t come ‘round here no more
Heard he had a drink with some old friends
Turned into three then four
Kept on going straight around ‘round that old bend
That’s the reason why he don’t come ‘round here no more
It’s just a mix up it’s not your time
Do you want a second try?
It’s just prediction then fate collides
Not sure if I’m surprised
John don’t come round here, don’t come ‘round here no more
John he don’t come round here, don’t come ‘round here no more
Checked in a casino with a girlfriend
Did a line then did some more
Thought his heart could keep up like a young man
That’s the reason why he don’t come ‘round here no more
Sherrie don’t come ‘round here, don’t come ‘round here no more
Hooked up with a bad man at a good time
Said she ran into a door
Left her by a thread on a life line
And that’s the reason why she don’t come ‘round here no more
Huey don’t come ‘round here, don’t come ‘round here no more
Huey don’t come ‘round here, don’t come ‘round here no more
Heard he had a drink with some old friends
Turned into three then four
Kept on going straight around ‘round that old bend
That’s the reason why he don’t come ‘round here no more
It’s just a mix up it’s not your time
Do you want a second try?
It’s just prediction then fate collides
Not sure if I’m surprised
John don’t come round here, don’t come ‘round here no more
John he don’t come round here, don’t come ‘round here no more
Checked in a casino with a girlfriend
Did a line then did some more
Thought his heart could keep up like a young man
That’s the reason why he don’t come ‘round here no more
Restless Days lyrics - The Clarks
Sin and salvation walk hand in hand
Right past the jury to the promised land
And I’ve been in prison baby most of my days
Must be these reckless ways
God and creation roll side by side
They wave to the jury and the gates open wide
And I’ve been hard and ancient like dinosaur bones
Hiding under these stones
Restless days
Feel like I’m falling away
Restless nights
When you’re holding me tight
Restless world
I thank God for my girl
Restless days
My salvation runs hot and cold
I plead to the jury I know I borrowed I know I stole
And I’ve been trying your honor in so many ways
Must be these restless
I guess it’s these restless
I know it’s these restless days
Restless days
Right past the jury to the promised land
And I’ve been in prison baby most of my days
Must be these reckless ways
God and creation roll side by side
They wave to the jury and the gates open wide
And I’ve been hard and ancient like dinosaur bones
Hiding under these stones
Restless days
Feel like I’m falling away
Restless nights
When you’re holding me tight
Restless world
I thank God for my girl
Restless days
My salvation runs hot and cold
I plead to the jury I know I borrowed I know I stole
And I’ve been trying your honor in so many ways
Must be these restless
I guess it’s these restless
I know it’s these restless days
Restless days
The Clowns lyrics - The Clarks
There’s a rusting religion with a broken converter
Parse the good book’s words justifying hate and murder
In a government lockbox everything gets lost
Like old grease on a sprocket
We sent Jack up the Hill to fix it all
He tumbled down with gold lined pockets
It’s going down right now
What do we do now?
Send in the clowns, the clowns
Run into the ground
When you send in the clowns
Winner at all cost on a soapbox
He spoke in doubletalk and riddles
Sounds so good I was in a spell
But while the town was burning he played the fiddle
I had a dream that I would come back
And what was stolen by the state had been replaced
And we’d replant love where there was loss
Then send the grifters a coup de grace
It’s going down right now
What do we do now?
Send in the clowns, the clowns
Run into the ground
When you send in the clowns
Parse the good book’s words justifying hate and murder
In a government lockbox everything gets lost
Like old grease on a sprocket
We sent Jack up the Hill to fix it all
He tumbled down with gold lined pockets
It’s going down right now
What do we do now?
Send in the clowns, the clowns
Run into the ground
When you send in the clowns
Winner at all cost on a soapbox
He spoke in doubletalk and riddles
Sounds so good I was in a spell
But while the town was burning he played the fiddle
I had a dream that I would come back
And what was stolen by the state had been replaced
And we’d replant love where there was loss
Then send the grifters a coup de grace
It’s going down right now
What do we do now?
Send in the clowns, the clowns
Run into the ground
When you send in the clowns
The Runaway lyrics - The Clarks
She swore by the deep long lines on her face cut like a badge of life
Worn by tracks and trials and alone somehow that didn’t seem right
Somehow that didn’t seem right
She lived for…
Sins of a better day
Girl you’re a runaway
Rode hard torn and frayed
When you’re a runaway
Stood for something and I stood too long I don’t know when to quit
Got a conscience on hold and the road reels me in I don’t know where I fit
I don’t know where I fit
She dreamed of
Sins of a better day
Girl you’re a runaway
Rode hard torn and frayed
When you’re a runaway
Face full of wind her mysteries survive I want to ride that wave
It keeps me running it keeps me high last words I heard her say
She drown in
Sins of a better day
Girl you’re a runaway
Rode hard torn and frayed
When you’re a runaway
Worn by tracks and trials and alone somehow that didn’t seem right
Somehow that didn’t seem right
She lived for…
Sins of a better day
Girl you’re a runaway
Rode hard torn and frayed
When you’re a runaway
Stood for something and I stood too long I don’t know when to quit
Got a conscience on hold and the road reels me in I don’t know where I fit
I don’t know where I fit
She dreamed of
Sins of a better day
Girl you’re a runaway
Rode hard torn and frayed
When you’re a runaway
Face full of wind her mysteries survive I want to ride that wave
It keeps me running it keeps me high last words I heard her say
She drown in
Sins of a better day
Girl you’re a runaway
Rode hard torn and frayed
When you’re a runaway
In Between lyrics - The Clarks
Turns out everything is ok
But that’s not the way it’s always been
Time was everything bad outside
Was all in my head
Here comes the night here comes the rain
Here comes the morning in between to bring back the pain
Here comes the night here comes the rain
Here comes the morning in between to bring back the pain
Time was I used to stare at my feet
Counting up cracks getting up the nerve
I’m gonna whip this mess color over the lines
Spit off a bridge then kick up some dirt
I want to thank you for being ‘round
To scare away what brings me down
I want to feel your cool serenade
And if the clouds form again will you stay?
Here comes the night here comes the rain
Here comes the morning in between to bring back the pain
Here comes the night here comes the rain
Here comes the morning in between to bring back the pain
Turns out everything is alright
‘cause I see more than what’s inside me
When curses freeze my soul I keep in mind
Most of what’s real is what you believe
Here comes the night here comes the rain
Here comes the morning in between to bring back the pain
Here comes the night here comes the rain
And if the clouds form again will you stay
But that’s not the way it’s always been
Time was everything bad outside
Was all in my head
Here comes the night here comes the rain
Here comes the morning in between to bring back the pain
Here comes the night here comes the rain
Here comes the morning in between to bring back the pain
Time was I used to stare at my feet
Counting up cracks getting up the nerve
I’m gonna whip this mess color over the lines
Spit off a bridge then kick up some dirt
I want to thank you for being ‘round
To scare away what brings me down
I want to feel your cool serenade
And if the clouds form again will you stay?
Here comes the night here comes the rain
Here comes the morning in between to bring back the pain
Here comes the night here comes the rain
Here comes the morning in between to bring back the pain
Turns out everything is alright
‘cause I see more than what’s inside me
When curses freeze my soul I keep in mind
Most of what’s real is what you believe
Here comes the night here comes the rain
Here comes the morning in between to bring back the pain
Here comes the night here comes the rain
And if the clouds form again will you stay
What A Wonderful World lyrics - The Clarks
I see trees of green, red roses, too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I say to myself what wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
Bright sunny days dark sacred nights
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow are so pretty in the skies
Are also on the faces of people walking by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do?
They're really saying I love you
I see babies cry I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world
I see them bloom for me and you
And I say to myself what wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
Bright sunny days dark sacred nights
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow are so pretty in the skies
Are also on the faces of people walking by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do?
They're really saying I love you
I see babies cry I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world
Hell On Wheels lyrics - The Clarks
I've got the moon over my shoulder, I'm not a looking back
I've got the world in my headlights, and it just feels right
This stream of consciousness, no surprise
I can see when I close my eyes, tonight
I've got a Civic to my right, and he's starts talking smack
One thing I can't, ignore, is a punk like that
He's the devil I know or the devil I don't
Welcome to my dust and stones, goodbye
Hell on Wheels, free at last
When the road is your world, there's nothing like going fast
Hell on Wheels, free at last
What's left behind leaves one less thing to pass
There's a yearning and desire still burning in the back of my mind
I won't kiss away the best days of my life
Hell on wheels, free at last
When the radio fades, you'll know life's moving fast
Hell on wheels, free at last
I've got the moon over my shoulder, I'm not a looking back
I've got the world in my headlights, and it just feels right
There's a breeze that blows in through my hair
The colors in the desert air
Nothing in this world compares, tonight
Hell on wheels, free at last
When the road is your world, there's nothing like going fast
Hell on wheels, free at last
When you're making the rules, there's no way to finish last
I've got the world in my headlights, and it just feels right
This stream of consciousness, no surprise
I can see when I close my eyes, tonight
I've got a Civic to my right, and he's starts talking smack
One thing I can't, ignore, is a punk like that
He's the devil I know or the devil I don't
Welcome to my dust and stones, goodbye
Hell on Wheels, free at last
When the road is your world, there's nothing like going fast
Hell on Wheels, free at last
What's left behind leaves one less thing to pass
There's a yearning and desire still burning in the back of my mind
I won't kiss away the best days of my life
Hell on wheels, free at last
When the radio fades, you'll know life's moving fast
Hell on wheels, free at last
I've got the moon over my shoulder, I'm not a looking back
I've got the world in my headlights, and it just feels right
There's a breeze that blows in through my hair
The colors in the desert air
Nothing in this world compares, tonight
Hell on wheels, free at last
When the road is your world, there's nothing like going fast
Hell on wheels, free at last
When you're making the rules, there's no way to finish last
Anymore lyrics - The Clarks
I gave my love everything
I tied an old glass heart to a ring
But she put it on a shelf
And I found it didn't help anything
I gave my love all the time
I tied a worn out dress to a rhyme
But she left it at the door
And I found it on the floor every time
And I won't be making love or taking love
or faking it no more
And I won't be breaking love forsaking love
or taking it no more
I gave my love every day
I took a dead end road and made a way
But she said it wouldn't work
And I found it in reverse anyway
And I won't be making love or taking love
or faking it no more
And I won't be breaking love forsaking love
or taking it no more
And I won't be knocking on love's door anymore
Someday I'm gonna turn it around I know I know
I gave my love everything
I took a tired song and made it sing
But she put it on a shelf
And I found it didn't help anything
And I won't be making love or taking love
or faking it no more
And I won't be breaking love forsaking love
or wasting it no more
And I won't be making love or taking love
or shaking it no more
And I won't be aching love for taking love from me
Anymore
I tied an old glass heart to a ring
But she put it on a shelf
And I found it didn't help anything
I gave my love all the time
I tied a worn out dress to a rhyme
But she left it at the door
And I found it on the floor every time
And I won't be making love or taking love
or faking it no more
And I won't be breaking love forsaking love
or taking it no more
I gave my love every day
I took a dead end road and made a way
But she said it wouldn't work
And I found it in reverse anyway
And I won't be making love or taking love

And I won't be breaking love forsaking love

And I won't be knocking on love's door anymore

I gave my love everything
I took a tired song and made it sing

And I found it didn't help anything
And I won't be making love or taking love

And I won't be breaking love forsaking love
or wasting it no more
And I won't be making love or taking love
or shaking it no more
And I won't be aching love for taking love from me

Shimmy Low lyrics - The Clarks
I've been down this road ten times
I would run, I would hide
From the fears that ruled my mind
And so I asked this guy
We'll call him Oz, call him wise
He laughed and offered his advice
Get out of your black hole
Join life's circus sideshow
Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
Want to walk on water, Gonna lose control
Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
Gonna walk on water, Gonna lose control
I'd practice to believe
Fear is real, a disease
And hold myself against my knees
And if you lose your mind
Call the sun, then unwind
There's too much to leave behind
He said you ought to know
Life's on remote control...Got to...
Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
Want to walk on water, Gonna lose control
Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
Want to walk on water, Gonna lose control
Much to my surprise, I've been so high
I'll kiss the sky from this broken dream I'll rise
Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
Want to walk on water, Gonna lose control
Got to Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
I would run, I would hide
From the fears that ruled my mind
And so I asked this guy
We'll call him Oz, call him wise
He laughed and offered his advice
Get out of your black hole
Join life's circus sideshow
Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
Want to walk on water, Gonna lose control
Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
Gonna walk on water, Gonna lose control
I'd practice to believe
Fear is real, a disease
And hold myself against my knees
And if you lose your mind
Call the sun, then unwind
There's too much to leave behind
He said you ought to know
Life's on remote control...Got to...
Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
Want to walk on water, Gonna lose control
Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
Want to walk on water, Gonna lose control
Much to my surprise, I've been so high
I'll kiss the sky from this broken dream I'll rise
Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
Want to walk on water, Gonna lose control
Got to Shimmy, shimmy low, Got to free my soul
Wait A Minute lyrics - The Clarks
Wait a minute can we stop the car right here
Can I take a picture here can I
Have a second just to take in all the sights
All the southern stars and northern lights
Wait a minute can we put aside the past
Can we make it something last for life
Say wrong say right tonight
Say wrong say right tonight
Wait a minute can you play that song again
It makes me think about a friend can I
Have a second can you take me back in time
Close my eyes and hear her voice her rhyme
Wait a minute can I say I'm sorry now
I admit I don't know how or why
Say wrong say right tonight
I need everything that you need
I breathe the same air that you breathe
Say wrong say right tonight
I need everything that you need
I breathe the same air that you breathe
And I've been wrong now for so long
I'm just trying to get it right
Can I take a picture here can I
Have a second just to take in all the sights
All the southern stars and northern lights
Wait a minute can we put aside the past
Can we make it something last for life
Say wrong say right tonight
Say wrong say right tonight
Wait a minute can you play that song again
It makes me think about a friend can I
Have a second can you take me back in time
Close my eyes and hear her voice her rhyme
Wait a minute can I say I'm sorry now
I admit I don't know how or why
Say wrong say right tonight
I need everything that you need
I breathe the same air that you breathe
Say wrong say right tonight
I need everything that you need
I breathe the same air that you breathe
And I've been wrong now for so long
I'm just trying to get it right
Happy lyrics -The Clarks
I'm never gonna smile
I'm never gonna stay for awhile
I'm never gonna laugh
You might as well just cut me in half
Just want to run
Just want to live til I'm done
Just want to be
As happy as I'm gonna be
And there's nothing on the inside
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
I'm broken down not feeling right
I'm happy as I'm gonna be
When there's nothing on the inside
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
Not feeling right
I'm never gonna find
The thing I need to make up my mind
I'm never gonna stand
Next to you I do what I can
Just want to run
Just want to lie in the sun
Just want to be
As happy as I'm gonna be
And there's nothing on the inside
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
I'm broken down not feeling right
I'm happy as I'm gonna be
When there's nothing on the inside
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
Not feeling right
I'm never gonna write
Lay with you or whisper goodnight
I'm never gonna call
That way I'll have nothing at all
Just want to run
Just want to live til I'm done
Just want to be
I'm never gonna stay for awhile
I'm never gonna laugh
You might as well just cut me in half
Just want to run
Just want to live til I'm done
Just want to be
As happy as I'm gonna be
And there's nothing on the inside
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
I'm broken down not feeling right
I'm happy as I'm gonna be
When there's nothing on the inside
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
Not feeling right
I'm never gonna find
The thing I need to make up my mind
I'm never gonna stand
Next to you I do what I can
Just want to run
Just want to lie in the sun
Just want to be
As happy as I'm gonna be
And there's nothing on the inside
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
I'm broken down not feeling right
I'm happy as I'm gonna be
When there's nothing on the inside
I'm not high on life I'm not drunk on love
Not feeling right
I'm never gonna write
Lay with you or whisper goodnight
I'm never gonna call
That way I'll have nothing at all
Just want to run
Just want to live til I'm done
Just want to be
Blue lyrics - The Clarks
Hey now, the storm is overhead
I can't believe the words you said
Somehow I missed the point that we were only friends
To me it seems that I've been blind
To you it's all so well defined
Now here I sit my hands, holding up my head
It should have been me
That made it with you
Sadly all my dreams turned blue
It should have been me
That made it with you
I ignored all of your clues
Hey now, there must have been a time
When I was more than border line
But who's to blame, emotions somehow get misread
I hate to bring it up again
I won't let go, I can't defend
But what's the use if we, constantly pretend
It should have been me
That made it with you
Sadly all my dreams turned blue
It should have been me
That made it with you
But that's not your point of view
Hey now you must have left behind
I painted a picture and a rhyme
You painted me into the corner of your mind
So sad you won't be coming back
So close the curtain, fade to black
So long, this time has passed, I'm here for you to find
It should have been me
That made it with you
Sadly all my dreams turned blue
It should have been me
That made it with you
But my dream turned shades of blue
I can't believe the words you said
Somehow I missed the point that we were only friends
To me it seems that I've been blind
To you it's all so well defined
Now here I sit my hands, holding up my head
It should have been me
That made it with you
Sadly all my dreams turned blue
It should have been me
That made it with you
I ignored all of your clues
Hey now, there must have been a time
When I was more than border line
But who's to blame, emotions somehow get misread
I hate to bring it up again
I won't let go, I can't defend
But what's the use if we, constantly pretend
It should have been me
That made it with you
Sadly all my dreams turned blue
It should have been me
That made it with you
But that's not your point of view
Hey now you must have left behind
I painted a picture and a rhyme
You painted me into the corner of your mind
So sad you won't be coming back
So close the curtain, fade to black
So long, this time has passed, I'm here for you to find
It should have been me
That made it with you
Sadly all my dreams turned blue
It should have been me
That made it with you
But my dream turned shades of blue
Fast Moving Cars lyrics - The Clarks
Lonely faces all along the way
Broken city all dressed up in gray
In the rain outside the restaurant
I make money but I still feel broke
I start drinking and I want a smoke
Doing doughnuts in the parking lot
Driving fast moving cars and drinking
Old in these bars and thinking I could
Paint all those stars
Empty bottles on an empty stage
End of story on the final page
Of a book that no one knows about
This is it this is my last goodbye
This is where my dreams go to die
In the trash behind the record shop
I'm driving fast moving cars and drinking
Old in these bars and thinking I could
Paint all those stars
Singing old timey songs and thinking I could
Right all these wrongs and drinking 'til the
Pain is all gone
After all this time I still believe
With a few tricks hidden up my sleeve
In the sun way down in Mexico
Broken city all dressed up in gray
In the rain outside the restaurant
I make money but I still feel broke
I start drinking and I want a smoke
Doing doughnuts in the parking lot
Driving fast moving cars and drinking
Old in these bars and thinking I could
Paint all those stars
Empty bottles on an empty stage
End of story on the final page
Of a book that no one knows about
This is it this is my last goodbye
This is where my dreams go to die
In the trash behind the record shop
I'm driving fast moving cars and drinking
Old in these bars and thinking I could
Paint all those stars
Singing old timey songs and thinking I could
Right all these wrongs and drinking 'til the
Pain is all gone
After all this time I still believe
With a few tricks hidden up my sleeve
In the sun way down in Mexico
She Says Don't Miss Me lyrics -The Clarks
She is sitting all alone but he sent flowers
All alone she sits there thinking this is not right
She questions all her thoughts at home for hours
He offers nothing in return for her to sit tight
Her dreams are tired and bound
Her stars are all falling down
I won't make a sound
She just sleeps right through the day when the suns up
Never knowing how to finish her dreams
All her friends will go away when she wakes up
She won't need them when there's something to believe in
The nighttime isn't so kind
Too many truths there to find
I won't change her mind
She says don't miss me
I will be alright
Because I'm not alone
I will be alright
She says don't leave tonight
She wonders why it's not right
She sees her visions in flight
I will hold on tight
I won't give her a fight
She says don't miss me
I will be alright
Because I'm not alone
I will be alright
All alone she sits there thinking this is not right
She questions all her thoughts at home for hours
He offers nothing in return for her to sit tight
Her dreams are tired and bound
Her stars are all falling down
I won't make a sound
She just sleeps right through the day when the suns up
Never knowing how to finish her dreams
All her friends will go away when she wakes up
She won't need them when there's something to believe in
The nighttime isn't so kind
Too many truths there to find
I won't change her mind
She says don't miss me
I will be alright
Because I'm not alone
I will be alright
She says don't leave tonight
She wonders why it's not right
She sees her visions in flight
I will hold on tight
I won't give her a fight
She says don't miss me
I will be alright
Because I'm not alone
I will be alright
Gypsy Lounge lyrics - The Clarks
My sometimes lady
Call her sexy Sadie when she comes around
She dances for me
I spend my twenty when I roll through town
I think I'll be leaving
There's no one here I have not been
There's no more believing
I'm only saved 'cause I'm tired of sin
And every day when the sun goes down
Every way when her walls come down
My baby dances at the Gypsy Lounge
This drunked-up trucker
He tried to luck here into going down town
Smashed his kneecap
House's ball bat a fifth of Crown
I think I'll be leaving
There's nothing here I have not seen
There's no more believing
That nothing comes like in between
And every day when the sun goes down
Every way when her walls come down
My baby dances at the Gypsy Lounge
Call her sexy Sadie when she comes around
She dances for me
I spend my twenty when I roll through town
I think I'll be leaving
There's no one here I have not been
There's no more believing
I'm only saved 'cause I'm tired of sin
And every day when the sun goes down
Every way when her walls come down
My baby dances at the Gypsy Lounge
This drunked-up trucker
He tried to luck here into going down town
Smashed his kneecap
House's ball bat a fifth of Crown
I think I'll be leaving
There's nothing here I have not seen
There's no more believing
That nothing comes like in between
And every day when the sun goes down
Every way when her walls come down
My baby dances at the Gypsy Lounge
You Know Everything lyrics - The Clarks
You lift me up to knock me down
But I don't want to play your game
I'm giving back this thorny crown
And there'll be no one else to blame
I used to think you had a heart
Then you picked up that poison pen
I should have known right from the start
That all good things come to an end
I'm not gonna waste my precious time
I know I'm never gonna change your mind
Cause you know everything
You know everything
You know everything
You hung my pictures on the wall
But nothing in this world is free
Now you won't even catch my fall
It's murder in the first degree
I've been torn up I've been knocked down
That's all you ever meant to do
You've taken back your thorny crown
Now you be me and I'll be you
But I don't want to play your game
I'm giving back this thorny crown
And there'll be no one else to blame
I used to think you had a heart
Then you picked up that poison pen
I should have known right from the start
That all good things come to an end
I'm not gonna waste my precious time
I know I'm never gonna change your mind
Cause you know everything
You know everything
You know everything
You hung my pictures on the wall
But nothing in this world is free
Now you won't even catch my fall
It's murder in the first degree
I've been torn up I've been knocked down
That's all you ever meant to do
You've taken back your thorny crown
Now you be me and I'll be you
Take Your Time lyrics - The Clarks
Know what you're feeling
It's all so real to you
Through your glass ceiling
You can't see the sky
Your angels have fallen
Your faith reads like fiction now
Your demons keep calling
And you let them inside
Time is on your side
And you won't run and hide forever no
You're gonna let it go
Oh yeah
You're down upon your knees
But time is all you need to make it through
And you're gonna make it through
Oh yeah...take your time
The mirror is broken
Your pieces are everywhere
You gather them hoping
Just leave it behind
Your down upon your knees
But time is all you need to carry you
Don't let it bury you
Oh yeah...Take your time
You can't see it
But the pain that keeps dragging you down
Is the buried treasure you've found
It's all so real to you
Through your glass ceiling
You can't see the sky
Your angels have fallen
Your faith reads like fiction now
Your demons keep calling
And you let them inside
Time is on your side
And you won't run and hide forever no
You're gonna let it go
Oh yeah
You're down upon your knees
But time is all you need to make it through
And you're gonna make it through
Oh yeah...take your time
The mirror is broken
Your pieces are everywhere
You gather them hoping
Just leave it behind
Your down upon your knees
But time is all you need to carry you
Don't let it bury you
Oh yeah...Take your time
You can't see it
But the pain that keeps dragging you down
Is the buried treasure you've found
Train lyrics - The Clarks
They grew up in the shadow of the armory
Land of freedom right out their back door
Brothers near the middle of the century
One of them had to go and fight the war
Somebody had to go and fight the war
And the train goes...
So he left upon the rails toward Ohiopyle
Youghiogheny flows around the bend
He told his mother someday he'd be coming home
The medals shine and the stars never end
But nobody counts on scars that never mend
And the train goes...
Cast iron wheels go hungry in the fields
Searching for that silver line a long, long way to go
Cast iron hearts go hungry for spare parts
Searching for a hand to hold on late night radio
He flew missions out of London into Germany
In letters she read once then locked away
With a picture of him smiling at the armory
The colors in that flag all washed away
It's just black and white and a hundred shades of gray
And the train goes...
That's the way it goes
Land of freedom right out their back door
Brothers near the middle of the century
One of them had to go and fight the war
Somebody had to go and fight the war
And the train goes...
So he left upon the rails toward Ohiopyle
Youghiogheny flows around the bend
He told his mother someday he'd be coming home
The medals shine and the stars never end
But nobody counts on scars that never mend
And the train goes...
Cast iron wheels go hungry in the fields
Searching for that silver line a long, long way to go
Cast iron hearts go hungry for spare parts
Searching for a hand to hold on late night radio
He flew missions out of London into Germany
In letters she read once then locked away
With a picture of him smiling at the armory
The colors in that flag all washed away
It's just black and white and a hundred shades of gray
And the train goes...
That's the way it goes
Maybe lyrics - The Clarks
Maybe I should turn and walk away
Maybe I should run, but I'll probably bow my head and pray
Maybe I'll search the lost and found
Maybe like two boxers bloodied, dizzied by the seventh round
Maybe circumstances make it easier to quit
Maybe in our circle, square pieces never fit
But I want you to know
I've never walked away from the things I've wanted
I've never walked away, but I think I'm going to
This time
I've never walked away from the things I've wanted
I've never walked away, but I think I'm going to
This time
Maybe I'll move back across town
Maybe in a week or two, we can talk, but not right now
Maybe your mind plays tricks on me
Maybe it's the drawer of letters everyday I read
Maybe these tears don't look so gallant
Maybe it's a chemical imbalance
Maybe it's the lack of sunlight
But I want you to know
Still I want you to know
Maybe it hurts below the skin
Maybe lessons finally sinking in
Maybe getting in the last word doesn't really mean you win
Maybe I should run, but I'll probably bow my head and pray
Maybe I'll search the lost and found
Maybe like two boxers bloodied, dizzied by the seventh round
Maybe circumstances make it easier to quit
Maybe in our circle, square pieces never fit
But I want you to know
I've never walked away from the things I've wanted
I've never walked away, but I think I'm going to
This time
I've never walked away from the things I've wanted
I've never walked away, but I think I'm going to
This time
Maybe I'll move back across town
Maybe in a week or two, we can talk, but not right now
Maybe your mind plays tricks on me
Maybe it's the drawer of letters everyday I read
Maybe these tears don't look so gallant
Maybe it's a chemical imbalance
Maybe it's the lack of sunlight
But I want you to know
Still I want you to know
Maybe it hurts below the skin
Maybe lessons finally sinking in
Maybe getting in the last word doesn't really mean you win
All The Things I Wanted lyrics - The Clarks
Somebody told me sadness makes a space
Inside your soul where wisdom takes its place
Somebody told me not to waste my turn
Everything goes up someday I'd like to learn to fly
I don't want to fall apart
Or hide behind love's broken door
I don't want to leave and wonder why
I don't want to walk away
Looking over my shoulder for
All the things I wanted in life
Someday I'm gonna have to mark my skin
To show you what I've seen and where I've been
Someday I'm gonna have to take my turn
Everything comes down someday I'd like to learn to fly
I don't want to fall apart
Or hide behind love's broken door
I don't want to leave and wonder why
I don't want to walk away
Looking over my shoulder for
All the things I wanted in life
Don't want to say goodbye
Inside your soul where wisdom takes its place
Somebody told me not to waste my turn
Everything goes up someday I'd like to learn to fly
I don't want to fall apart
Or hide behind love's broken door
I don't want to leave and wonder why
I don't want to walk away
Looking over my shoulder for
All the things I wanted in life
Someday I'm gonna have to mark my skin
To show you what I've seen and where I've been
Someday I'm gonna have to take my turn
Everything comes down someday I'd like to learn to fly
I don't want to fall apart
Or hide behind love's broken door
I don't want to leave and wonder why
I don't want to walk away
Looking over my shoulder for
All the things I wanted in life
Don't want to say goodbye
On Saturday lyrics - The Clarks
I'm gonna quit cause it's getting old
And it'll save my life or so I've been told
You see I got this thing that I like to do
But it seems to get between me and you
You won't understand if you gotta ask why
But if it's what you want I guess I'll try
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
I can't find my key I know where it went
Straight out the door with half the rent
But I got this song that I like to sing
You can keep the key I'll keep the ring
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
And she said it's not you I just need my space
I said it is me just say it to my face
All in time it will be fine
Just me, myself and I
Sublime
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
And she it is you and I found somebody new
She said that's not the color I wanted I said blue
And it'll save my life or so I've been told
You see I got this thing that I like to do
But it seems to get between me and you
You won't understand if you gotta ask why
But if it's what you want I guess I'll try
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
I can't find my key I know where it went
Straight out the door with half the rent
But I got this song that I like to sing
You can keep the key I'll keep the ring
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
And she said it's not you I just need my space
I said it is me just say it to my face
All in time it will be fine
Just me, myself and I
Sublime
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
And she it is you and I found somebody new
She said that's not the color I wanted I said blue
Superstar lyrics - The Clarks
You changed the world, you blinked your eyes
But you never said goodbye
You saved a life with words my friend
Believe your songs can mend
Never bought a drunk a drink
Never swam swim just to sink
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
Superstar, Superstar
You laugh and sing, the whole world cries
Say you're too young to die
Some luck can mend and bend your mind
Or just make you blind
Never speak just to lie
Never live just to die
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
Superstar, Superstar
There's a place in my mind you'll never find
At the end of a bar and a rhyme
Never gave a drunk a drink
Never cry just to blink
Never run just to fall
Never bleed just to scar
But you never said goodbye
You saved a life with words my friend
Believe your songs can mend
Never bought a drunk a drink
Never swam swim just to sink
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
Superstar, Superstar
You laugh and sing, the whole world cries
Say you're too young to die
Some luck can mend and bend your mind
Or just make you blind
Never speak just to lie
Never live just to die
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
Superstar, Superstar
There's a place in my mind you'll never find
At the end of a bar and a rhyme
Never gave a drunk a drink
Never cry just to blink
Never run just to fall
Never bleed just to scar
Hey You lyrics - The Clarks
If you're gonna jump
Hey you, hang on
If you feel like giving up
Hey you, hang on
I won't forget today
The sun is bright the sky is blue
The pain will go away
In another year or two
If you got a phone
Hey you, call home
If you got a voice
Hey you, rejoice
I won't forget today
The sun is bright the sky is blue
I won't forget to pray
Day is night the world is new
The pain will go away
In another year or two
In a hundred years or two
If you're gonna fly
Hey you, don't cry
You gotta live to die
Hey you, goodbye
Hey you, hang on
If you feel like giving up
Hey you, hang on
I won't forget today
The sun is bright the sky is blue
The pain will go away
In another year or two
If you got a phone
Hey you, call home
If you got a voice
Hey you, rejoice
I won't forget today
The sun is bright the sky is blue
I won't forget to pray
Day is night the world is new
The pain will go away
In another year or two
In a hundred years or two
If you're gonna fly
Hey you, don't cry
You gotta live to die
Hey you, goodbye
Boys Lie lyrics - The Clarks
She said, boys, they can't be trusted,
I get so disgusted
She says it over and over
You stuttered and you hesitated
From there it all just escalated
It happened over and over
And she said
Boys lie, like the rug under my feet
White lies, every breath between your teeth
Fine line, between love and alibis....Boys lie
He made me this one great promise
But call me the doubting Thomas
She thought it over and over
You'll be mine, you'll be fine
Oh, for the rest of time
He promised over and over
There's nothing that a woman does
just keep her faith because.
There's nothing that a man can say
won't make you walk away
Ain't nothing that he can't undo
a little nudge, and a broken smile
Just staring back at you
When it comes to being trusted
She said, you're so busted
But now that it's over, it's over
I took a poll and you were graded,
Boys were highly overrated
It happens over and over
I get so disgusted
She says it over and over
You stuttered and you hesitated
From there it all just escalated
It happened over and over
And she said
Boys lie, like the rug under my feet
White lies, every breath between your teeth
Fine line, between love and alibis....Boys lie
He made me this one great promise
But call me the doubting Thomas
She thought it over and over
You'll be mine, you'll be fine
Oh, for the rest of time
He promised over and over
There's nothing that a woman does
just keep her faith because.
There's nothing that a man can say
won't make you walk away
Ain't nothing that he can't undo
a little nudge, and a broken smile
Just staring back at you
When it comes to being trusted
She said, you're so busted
But now that it's over, it's over
I took a poll and you were graded,
Boys were highly overrated
It happens over and over
Wasting Time lyrics - The Clarks
At the end of motion
Commit me to the ocean
At the end of thinking
All I want is sinking
The worldly pain of life I leave behind
The give and take of love is not a crime
Like wasting time
It's kinda like a fever
My sleep is getting deeper
It's kinda like a sunset
Fade to black, but not yet
The earthly joy of sex and weed and wine
The high and low of life is not a crime
Like wasting time
It's time I started a fire
Not just a funeral pyre
It's time I get busy living
Not just taking but giving
And leave the pain and hurt and fear behind
And throw away the chains and free my mind
And open up my heart and let love shine
Wasting time
Say goodbye to lonely, Say goodbye to worry
Say goodbye to money, Say goodbye to hurry
Say goodbye
Commit me to the ocean
At the end of thinking
All I want is sinking
The worldly pain of life I leave behind
The give and take of love is not a crime
Like wasting time
It's kinda like a fever
My sleep is getting deeper
It's kinda like a sunset
Fade to black, but not yet
The earthly joy of sex and weed and wine
The high and low of life is not a crime
Like wasting time
It's time I started a fire
Not just a funeral pyre
It's time I get busy living
Not just taking but giving
And leave the pain and hurt and fear behind
And throw away the chains and free my mind
And open up my heart and let love shine
Wasting time
Say goodbye to lonely, Say goodbye to worry
Say goodbye to money, Say goodbye to hurry
Say goodbye
Twist My Arm lyrics - The Clarks
Blame it on the whiskey
Blamed it on your job
Blame the broken promises
And the words can cut so strong
Blame it on the doctors
Blame it on this song
Blame it on your childhood
But I knew all along
And I cried myself to sleep at night
Black and blue eyes, I could see
Thinking about leaving
Then I'd blame it all on me
And you twist my arm
Twist my arm
You shout about the money
And you'd shout late at night
And you'd shout about my mother
You know you're wasting my time
I won't tell you that for fear of my life
I could never figure out
The gifts you bring me hours
After you pushed me to the ground
And you twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
Don't twist it, no don't twist it
I prayed that you were leaving
Prayed I could turn and run
Prayed I had the strength
Closed my eyes, I shot your gun
You twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
Blamed it on your job
Blame the broken promises
And the words can cut so strong
Blame it on the doctors
Blame it on this song
Blame it on your childhood
But I knew all along
And I cried myself to sleep at night
Black and blue eyes, I could see
Thinking about leaving
Then I'd blame it all on me
And you twist my arm
Twist my arm
You shout about the money
And you'd shout late at night
And you'd shout about my mother
You know you're wasting my time
I won't tell you that for fear of my life
I could never figure out
The gifts you bring me hours
After you pushed me to the ground
And you twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
Don't twist it, no don't twist it
I prayed that you were leaving
Prayed I could turn and run
Prayed I had the strength
Closed my eyes, I shot your gun
You twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
This Old House Is Burning Down Tonight lyrics - The Clarks
This old house is burning down tonight
I'm gonna watch it burn
I'm gonna stand out in the road
This old house is burning down tonight
Front porch, back door, well-worn wooden floor
All agree that since you're gone
The TV, sofa bed, brand new stereo
Just can't seem to get along
They'll all be ashes by the dawn
Your Beatles, my Stones, your My Aim Is True
Staying up late every night
With your cigarettes, Jim Beam, gallon of gasoline
Did someone say they need a light
You'll see my love for you burns bright
So send your sheriff to arrest me
He'll have to cross the county line
I'll get the devil to defend me
I was only burnin' what was mine
Black shirt, black boots, favorite pair of blue jeans
I saved my coat, I saved my hat
But your white dress, gold band, silver frame and photograph
Stayed behind the welcome mat
I never really liked your cat
This old house is burning down tonight
All Halloween orange and chimney red
This old house is burning down tonight
You're gonna say My God! when you see it on the news
And by the time the ceiling hits the ground
I'll smoke my tires and leave this town
I'm gonna watch it burn
I'm gonna stand out in the road
This old house is burning down tonight
Front porch, back door, well-worn wooden floor
All agree that since you're gone
The TV, sofa bed, brand new stereo
Just can't seem to get along
They'll all be ashes by the dawn
Your Beatles, my Stones, your My Aim Is True
Staying up late every night
With your cigarettes, Jim Beam, gallon of gasoline
Did someone say they need a light
You'll see my love for you burns bright
So send your sheriff to arrest me
He'll have to cross the county line
I'll get the devil to defend me
I was only burnin' what was mine
Black shirt, black boots, favorite pair of blue jeans
I saved my coat, I saved my hat
But your white dress, gold band, silver frame and photograph
Stayed behind the welcome mat
I never really liked your cat
This old house is burning down tonight
All Halloween orange and chimney red
This old house is burning down tonight
You're gonna say My God! when you see it on the news
And by the time the ceiling hits the ground
I'll smoke my tires and leave this town
Inside You lyrics - The Clarks
Will you walk with me
Will you talk with me
Take my hand let fate decide
We'll go out for a moonlight ride
We can take our time
Through the clouds we'll climb
Hurry up don't make me wait
Tomorrow might just be too late
And it all comes down to what we're feeling now
And I know what I see when I look into your eyes
I'm inside you...And you don't even know it
Deep inside you...And it's time to show it
Deep inside you
If it feels alright
We can drive all night
The wind will whisper in our ears
Collecting stars like souvenirs
And the sun will rise
Under painted skies
Tell me we don't have to wait
Tomorrow might just be too late
And it all comes down to what we're feeling now
And I know what I see when I look into your eyes
I'm inside you...And you don't even know it
Deep inside you...And it's time to show it
Deep inside you
Will you talk with me
Take my hand let fate decide
We'll go out for a moonlight ride
We can take our time
Through the clouds we'll climb
Hurry up don't make me wait
Tomorrow might just be too late
And it all comes down to what we're feeling now
And I know what I see when I look into your eyes
I'm inside you...And you don't even know it
Deep inside you...And it's time to show it
Deep inside you
If it feels alright
We can drive all night
The wind will whisper in our ears
Collecting stars like souvenirs
And the sun will rise
Under painted skies
Tell me we don't have to wait
Tomorrow might just be too late
And it all comes down to what we're feeling now
And I know what I see when I look into your eyes
I'm inside you...And you don't even know it
Deep inside you...And it's time to show it
Deep inside you
So You Can Sleep At Night lyrics - The Clarks
If I had a dollar
I'd buy a house where we could live
Caring for each other
Just a place to call our home
And if we just knew wrong from right
We would not hurt we would not fight
Dream sweet dreams all through the night
Until the morning comes
If I had someone to love
I would not push I would not shove
I'd never know what lonely was
Because I'd never be alone
And if I had a hand to hold
I'd hold it tight until I grew old
And listen to your stories told
They keep me hanging on
If I had a magic charm
It would protect you from all harm
There'd be no sirens to alarm
We could stay here every day
And if I were a super hero
Good guys all the villains zero
I'd save you from all that is evil
So you can sleep at night
Love Is What You Need lyrics - The Clarks
Until we meet again
I'll think of you my friend
If thoughts are what you need
Until we say hello
You know I know you know
I'm down here on my knees
Let's give it one more try
Never say goodbye
Your hand it holds the key
Love is what you need
Until we meet for good
I'll take these wires and this wood
And tell you how I feel
Until we stand alone
Face to face and no more phone
Tell me this is real
Let's give it one more chance
Hold tight when we dance
Your eyes they hold the key
Until we meet again
I won't think about the end
Have a smoke and have a drink
Until we find a way
I'll keep singing about that day
I never cared what people think
Love is what you need
I'll think of you my friend
If thoughts are what you need
Until we say hello
You know I know you know
I'm down here on my knees
Let's give it one more try
Never say goodbye
Your hand it holds the key
Love is what you need
Until we meet for good
I'll take these wires and this wood
And tell you how I feel
Until we stand alone
Face to face and no more phone
Tell me this is real
Let's give it one more chance
Hold tight when we dance
Your eyes they hold the key
Until we meet again
I won't think about the end
Have a smoke and have a drink
Until we find a way
I'll keep singing about that day
I never cared what people think
Love is what you need
Snowman lyrics - The Clarks
Pick me up
Are you holding, man
Up all night
Please don't melt
Falling down
Bump me up
Time to hit the town
God save the Snowman
His teeth are falling out,
His head is in the clouds
His nose is on the ground
God save the Snowman
Jump my heart
Because I'm coming down
Save my life
Help him get
The carrot from his mind
Falling down, not being round
The flakes go up, not hit the ground
Falling down, not being round
Toast the day to winter's clown
won't need a broom to help him now.
Get it up
Wish I could
Get a life
Not this time
Gotta hit the town
Are you holding, man
Up all night
Please don't melt
Falling down
Bump me up
Time to hit the town
God save the Snowman
His teeth are falling out,
His head is in the clouds
His nose is on the ground
God save the Snowman
Jump my heart
Because I'm coming down
Save my life
Help him get
The carrot from his mind
Falling down, not being round
The flakes go up, not hit the ground
Falling down, not being round
Toast the day to winter's clown
won't need a broom to help him now.
Get it up
Wish I could
Get a life
Not this time
Gotta hit the town
I'm A Fool lyrics - The Clarks
If I sing you one more song, baby would you come along
you can tell me what to do
If I kiss you one more time, baby would you read my sign
you can tell me that we're through
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna hold you one more time or maybe two
I just wanna be with you 'cause I'm a fool
If I pour you one more wine, baby can you read my mind
you can play me for a fool
If I stay just one more night, baby will you hold me tight
you can use me like a tool
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna hold you one more time or maybe two
I just wanna be with you 'cause I'm a fool
If we made love one more time, maybe you would change your mind
you can tell me what to do
If I kiss you one more time, baby would you read my sign
you can tell me that we're through
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna hold you one more time or maybe two
I just wanna be with you 'cause I'm a fool
If I pour you one more wine, baby can you read my mind
you can play me for a fool
If I stay just one more night, baby will you hold me tight
you can use me like a tool
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna hold you one more time or maybe two
I just wanna be with you 'cause I'm a fool
If we made love one more time, maybe you would change your mind
Better Off Without You lyrics - The Clarks
You are sultry, dirty, soft and hard
You are close to me and you're so far
And I'm thinking of the time we spent together
Now I'll bury this in my backyard
Sometimes I sit and wonder
But I'll never dial your number 'cause
I'm having fun looking out for number one
And I'm doing all the things I like to do
I'm having fun 'cause I knew it all along
I'd be better off without you
You are guilty, pretty, high and low
You're a place to stay and a time to go
And I'm searching through the things you left behind here
Now it's time for me to let it go
Sometimes I sit and wonder
But I'll never dial that number 'cause
I'm having fun looking out for number one
And I'm doing all the things I like to do
I'm having fun 'cause I knew it all along
I'd be better off without you
Late at night you pick up the telephone
Call me up and cry 'cause you're all alone I don't care
Apologize for taking my cigarettes
Now it's time to feel all the side effects
Missing the life you had
You are close to me and you're so far
And I'm thinking of the time we spent together
Now I'll bury this in my backyard
Sometimes I sit and wonder
But I'll never dial your number 'cause
I'm having fun looking out for number one
And I'm doing all the things I like to do
I'm having fun 'cause I knew it all along
I'd be better off without you
You are guilty, pretty, high and low
You're a place to stay and a time to go
And I'm searching through the things you left behind here
Now it's time for me to let it go
Sometimes I sit and wonder
But I'll never dial that number 'cause
I'm having fun looking out for number one
And I'm doing all the things I like to do
I'm having fun 'cause I knew it all along
I'd be better off without you
Late at night you pick up the telephone
Call me up and cry 'cause you're all alone I don't care
Apologize for taking my cigarettes
Now it's time to feel all the side effects
Missing the life you had
Born Too Late lyrics - The Clarks
Vincent will you teach me how to paint
Teresa will I ever be a saint
John I really think your songs are great
I was born too late
William will you teach me how to write
Cassius will you show me how to fight
Thomas A. I think I see the light
I was born tonight
I've had a hard time leaving this town
I've been losing everything that I've found
I'm gonna search the sky, kiss the ground
Build it up and tear it back down
I've had a hard time leaving this place
I've been counting all the lines on my face
I'm gonna curse the sky, hit the ground
What goes up comes tumbling down
Jimi show me how you play that thing
Elvis will I ever be a king
and Jerry all the joy and love you bring
I was born to sing
Martin Luther King show me the way
Jesus Buddha teach me how to pray
Christopher I think I see the bay
I was born today
Teresa will I ever be a saint
John I really think your songs are great
I was born too late
William will you teach me how to write
Cassius will you show me how to fight
Thomas A. I think I see the light
I was born tonight
I've had a hard time leaving this town
I've been losing everything that I've found
I'm gonna search the sky, kiss the ground
Build it up and tear it back down
I've had a hard time leaving this place
I've been counting all the lines on my face
I'm gonna curse the sky, hit the ground
What goes up comes tumbling down
Jimi show me how you play that thing
Elvis will I ever be a king
and Jerry all the joy and love you bring
I was born to sing
Martin Luther King show me the way
Jesus Buddha teach me how to pray
Christopher I think I see the bay
I was born today
Let It Go lyrics - The Clarks
Good days, bad days, pioneers of love and hope and sex and dreams
and Sunny came clear
Everything reminds me of my baby
Late night, skin tight, dresser drawers going down on dirty boulevard
five and dime store whores
Everything reminds me of my baby
I keep thinking maybe time will mend this broken down
I keep thinking I'm not crazy
Redwood, gold dust radio plays everything from High and Dry
to Sunny Came Home
All these songs remind me of my baby
Fake bake Holly wouldn't give a shit wears everything from corduroy jeans
to double knit
All these girls are nothing like my baby
I keep thinking maybe time will mend this broken down
I keep thinking I'm not crazy
I keep thinking maybe time will heal 'cause drugs don't help
I'll stop singing songs about my:
Can anyone tell me why the things that are meant to stay they turn and go
Can anyone tell me why we lust after the things we'll never know
I'll just have to let it go
Good times, bad times, red times blue equals Special K's psychedelic
satin purple shoe
I've done some foolish things but who can blame me
Good night, sleep tight, pioneers of lust and guns and hate and greed
and Sunny knows fear
If God don't kill me I know she's gonna save me
I keep thinking maybe time will mend this broken down
I keep thinking I'm not crazy
Can anyone tell me why the things that are meant to stay they turn and go
Can anyone tell me why we lust after the things we'll never know
I'll just have to let it
I'll just have to let it
I'll just have to let it go
Let it go
and Sunny came clear
Everything reminds me of my baby
Late night, skin tight, dresser drawers going down on dirty boulevard
five and dime store whores
Everything reminds me of my baby
I keep thinking maybe time will mend this broken down
I keep thinking I'm not crazy

I'll just have to let it
I'll just have to let it
I'll just have to let it go
Let it go
Chasin' Girls lyrics - The Clarks
I've been chasin' girls
I've been drinkin' beer
I've been getting stoned right here
I've been hangin' out
I've been livin' large
I just wanna know who's in charge
Well this society is pretty sad when any half-ass
jock can make a million bucks even though all his brains are in his
cock and balls go hand in gun like Kurt Cobain and disenfranchised youth
If I could crash that party I could make a million bucks too
I've been chasin' girls
I've been drinkin' beer
I've been getting stoned all year
I've been livin' large
I've been hangin' out
I've been learning how to pout
Well the economy is pretty good when any half-drunk
lass can buy a four-wheel drive with power heated seats for her fat
ass and hole go hand in pocket like Alanis Morrisette and female angst
If I could tap her market I could buy a four-wheel drive too
I've been chasin' girls
I've been drinkin' beer
I've been getting stoned all year
I've been hangin' out
I've been livin' large
I just wanna know
Who's the idiot in charge here
I've been drinkin' beer
I've been getting stoned right here
I've been hangin' out
I've been livin' large
I just wanna know who's in charge
Well this society is pretty sad when any half-ass
jock can make a million bucks even though all his brains are in his
cock and balls go hand in gun like Kurt Cobain and disenfranchised youth
If I could crash that party I could make a million bucks too
I've been chasin' girls
I've been drinkin' beer
I've been getting stoned all year
I've been livin' large
I've been hangin' out
I've been learning how to pout
Well the economy is pretty good when any half-drunk
lass can buy a four-wheel drive with power heated seats for her fat
ass and hole go hand in pocket like Alanis Morrisette and female angst
If I could tap her market I could buy a four-wheel drive too
I've been chasin' girls
I've been drinkin' beer
I've been getting stoned all year
I've been hangin' out
I've been livin' large
I just wanna know
Who's the idiot in charge here
Flame lyrics - The Clarks
The ceiling's low the walls are thin
The little stars upon your skin
I cannot sleep I'm wound too tight
The morning comes and I feel alright
Take me down home on holiday
Lead me to your secret hiding place
Let your hair fall down onto my face
Don't turn away from the flame
Don't hide your face from the rain
Lead me down show me the way
Don't turn away from the flame
I know you told me not to run
It's no big deal I'm just having fun
Why don't you come down to the show
I know we can't help who we know
Take me down home on holiday
Lean into your secret hideaway
Let your hair fall down onto my face
Don't turn away from the flame
Don't hide your face from the rain
Lead me down show me the way
Don't turn away from the flame
Who am I to judge
Talk down or bear a grudge
And who am I to lie
Don't say goodbye
Our bodies close and I feel your hand
No secret vow no silent plan
The air is low the walls are thin
I know we can't help where we've been
Take me down home on holiday
Lean into your secret hideaway
Let your hair fall down onto my face
Don't turn away from the flame
Don't hide your face from the rain
Lead me down show me the way
Don't turn away from the flame
The little stars upon your skin
I cannot sleep I'm wound too tight
The morning comes and I feel alright
Take me down home on holiday
Lead me to your secret hiding place
Let your hair fall down onto my face
Don't turn away from the flame
Don't hide your face from the rain
Lead me down show me the way
Don't turn away from the flame
I know you told me not to run
It's no big deal I'm just having fun
Why don't you come down to the show
I know we can't help who we know
Take me down home on holiday
Lean into your secret hideaway
Let your hair fall down onto my face
Don't turn away from the flame
Don't hide your face from the rain
Lead me down show me the way
Don't turn away from the flame
Who am I to judge
Talk down or bear a grudge
And who am I to lie
Don't say goodbye
Our bodies close and I feel your hand
No secret vow no silent plan
The air is low the walls are thin
I know we can't help where we've been
Take me down home on holiday
Lean into your secret hideaway
Let your hair fall down onto my face
Don't turn away from the flame
Don't hide your face from the rain
Lead me down show me the way
Don't turn away from the flame
Butterflies And Airplanes lyrics - The Clarks
Never had to walk a single mile in my shoes
I'm not saying that you ever really wanted to
We can never go back to another time
But this photograph's painted in my mind
I remember when you made your car fly
I'm surprised we could drive and stay alive
Nothing more than a scar left on your head
What will we dream of next to paint this town red?
The rules we're always bent, but never broken
Sneak outside your house and we'll start smoking
Butterflies and airplanes,
Big Ben, John Glenn, and radio waves
I want to fly back to another day
And there's nothing you can say
To make this go away
Daydreamers Holiday
Met a girl we consummated in the summertime
Turns out she went both ways, I didn't mind
She worked on a fishing boat in Juneau...
Alaska, haven't seen her, she moved away years ago
The rules were always bent but never broken
You said you kissed a girl and you weren't joking
Butterflies and airplanes,
Brain dead, Retread, blown out all night raves
But I want to fly back to another day
And there's nothing you can say
To make this go away
Daydreamers Holiday
We drank on your brother's fake ID
Pass the hat, roll it fat, hey this ain't free
There was always such a riot when your folks left town
Cigarette burns on the couch would always bring you down
Butterflies and airplanes,
Pipe bomb, dot com, hate kills, Jesus saves
Do I want to fly back to another day?
And there's nothing you can say
That makes me want to stay
Daydreamers Holiday
Butterflies and airplanes, Big Ben, John Glenn and radio waves
I'm not saying that you ever really wanted to
We can never go back to another time
But this photograph's painted in my mind
I remember when you made your car fly
I'm surprised we could drive and stay alive
Nothing more than a scar left on your head
What will we dream of next to paint this town red?
The rules we're always bent, but never broken
Sneak outside your house and we'll start smoking
Butterflies and airplanes,

I want to fly back to another day

Think Of England lyrics - The Clarks
It only happens when I'm dreaming
It keeps on playing in my head
Recalling something that was steaming
All of this stress will leave you dead
Thankful to be alive
What I have learned and why
Friday I should have stayed in bed
Close your eyes and think of England
Lay back and take it
Close your eyes and feel alone.........
Close your eyes and think of England
You won't regret it
Tonight I won't be coming home
We crashed but gave life in November
There was no blood to talk about
Only that we survived
And parts for another life
All's well but time is running out
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, oh,
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, oh......
Tonight I won't be coming home
Tonight I won't be coming home::.
Tonight I won't be coming home:
It keeps on playing in my head
Recalling something that was steaming
All of this stress will leave you dead
Thankful to be alive
What I have learned and why
Friday I should have stayed in bed
Close your eyes and think of England
Lay back and take it
Close your eyes and feel alone.........
Close your eyes and think of England
You won't regret it
Tonight I won't be coming home
We crashed but gave life in November
There was no blood to talk about
Only that we survived
And parts for another life
All's well but time is running out
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, oh,
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, oh......
Tonight I won't be coming home
Tonight I won't be coming home::.
Tonight I won't be coming home:
Highwire lyrics - The Clarks
My head wouldn't give a second thought
About telling me what to do
My feet wouldn't give another inch
If they were giving it up to you
I'm on the highwire, yelling burn fire
My heart wouldn't have another chance
After all that I've been through
My hands wouldn't give enough away
I've given it all to you
I'm on the highwire, yelling burn fire
My heart is in a shroud, sun goes up and down
I've been here all afternoon
My head is in the clouds, faith goes up and down
I could use a talking to:about you, about you
Oh baby give me one more chance
My soul wouldn't give another year
I'm almost thirty-two
My eyes wouldn't give another tear
I've given them all to you
and I'm on the highwire, yelling burn fire
My heart is in a shroud, sun goes up and down
I've been sleeping way past noon
My head is in the clouds, faith goes up and down
I could use a talking to:about you, about you
About telling me what to do
My feet wouldn't give another inch
If they were giving it up to you
I'm on the highwire, yelling burn fire
My heart wouldn't have another chance
After all that I've been through
My hands wouldn't give enough away
I've given it all to you
I'm on the highwire, yelling burn fire
My heart is in a shroud, sun goes up and down
I've been here all afternoon
My head is in the clouds, faith goes up and down
I could use a talking to:about you, about you
Oh baby give me one more chance
My soul wouldn't give another year
I'm almost thirty-two
My eyes wouldn't give another tear
I've given them all to you
and I'm on the highwire, yelling burn fire
My heart is in a shroud, sun goes up and down
I've been sleeping way past noon
My head is in the clouds, faith goes up and down
I could use a talking to:about you, about you
The Letter lyrics - The Clarks
I can see your eyes they're right in front of me
They follow me through town
I can hear your voice it speaks inside of me
It makes me want to write it down
Makes me want to write it down
I can smell your skin it's wrapped all over me
Just like an evening gown
I can taste your mouth it's wet and under me
It makes me want to write it down
Makes me want to write it down for your reaction
I'm a letter waiting at your door
Deliver me and don't forget to write
I love you one more time goodbye
I'm a fallen angel on the floor
Come set me free and look up to the sky
I love you one more time goodbye
I can feel your hand it moves around on me
Push me to the ground
I can tell you're here you're deep inside of me
It makes me want to write it down
Makes me want to write it down for your reaction
I'm a letter waiting at your door
Deliver me and don't forget to write
I love you one more time goodbye
I'm a fallen angel on the floor
Come set me free and look up to the sky
I love you one more time goodbye
They follow me through town
I can hear your voice it speaks inside of me
It makes me want to write it down
Makes me want to write it down
I can smell your skin it's wrapped all over me
Just like an evening gown
I can taste your mouth it's wet and under me
It makes me want to write it down
Makes me want to write it down for your reaction
I'm a letter waiting at your door
Deliver me and don't forget to write
I love you one more time goodbye
I'm a fallen angel on the floor
Come set me free and look up to the sky
I love you one more time goodbye
I can feel your hand it moves around on me
Push me to the ground
I can tell you're here you're deep inside of me
It makes me want to write it down
Makes me want to write it down for your reaction
I'm a letter waiting at your door
Deliver me and don't forget to write
I love you one more time goodbye
I'm a fallen angel on the floor
Come set me free and look up to the sky
I love you one more time goodbye
If Memory Serves lyrics - The Clarks
I couldn't think of someone that I'd rather see
I couldn't think of any place that I'd rather be
I thought I knew you once before when you cast your spell on me
Someone cut my past baby let it bleed
I tried to write you letters but it wasn't me
I tried to find your pictures out of curiosity
I thought I had it all figured out but confusion reigns supreme
Someone cut my past baby let it bleed
If memory serves me, memory's all I need
The spirit moved me once before can I find a way
Open up your door
All these things you can't ignore
The spirit moves me once again can I find a way
Stop and count to ten
All these things I can't pretend
I'm the rain in springtime you're the autumn leaves
We push our hearts to the top of the mountain then roll them down our sleeves
I thought I had you back in my arms but it turned out to be a dream
Someone cut my past baby let it bleed
If memory serves me, memory's all I need
If memory serves me, memory's all I need
If memory serves me, memory's all I need
I couldn't think of any place that I'd rather be
I thought I knew you once before when you cast your spell on me
Someone cut my past baby let it bleed
I tried to write you letters but it wasn't me
I tried to find your pictures out of curiosity
I thought I had it all figured out but confusion reigns supreme
Someone cut my past baby let it bleed
If memory serves me, memory's all I need
The spirit moved me once before can I find a way
Open up your door
All these things you can't ignore
The spirit moves me once again can I find a way
Stop and count to ten
All these things I can't pretend
I'm the rain in springtime you're the autumn leaves
We push our hearts to the top of the mountain then roll them down our sleeves
I thought I had you back in my arms but it turned out to be a dream
Someone cut my past baby let it bleed
If memory serves me, memory's all I need
If memory serves me, memory's all I need
If memory serves me, memory's all I need

Stop! lyrics - The Clarks
Sometimes I think of you
It happens oh so fast
If I closed my eyes, it would all go by
The strangest freaky thing that ever passed that night
In a big block dodge
It was two lanes wide
We wrestled with the heat and let the radio drive
There was something in the air
More deadly than fire
I picked up the key, the hotel clerk knew I lied
He said, stop, take a look around
Everybody see what's going down
Stop, take a look around
Everybody see what's going down
It was a night I will forget
And I don't remember why
All she was wearin' was something I'd seen
From a late night show on cable TV
Where'd the ring go, that he got you
Would he know the way you felt
It's just one fling, before the bells ring
Don't hit below the belt
Ahh, take a look around
Cause the truth that you might be running from
Is bigger than a river called the Amazon
It is a night you may regret
Just don't ask me why
Bless me father for I have sinned
Can you get me out of this mess I'm in
Sometimes I think of you
It happens oh so fast
If I closed my eyes, it would all go by
The strangest freaky thing that ever passed bye bye
Where's the time go, where's the love go
When you live out a fantasy
The sun will shine, you can brush it off
And say it never happened to me
Ahh, take a look around
Cause the truth that you might be runnin' from
Is bigger than a river called the Amazon.
It's big as an explosion called the atom bomb
It happens oh so fast
If I closed my eyes, it would all go by
The strangest freaky thing that ever passed that night
In a big block dodge
It was two lanes wide
We wrestled with the heat and let the radio drive
There was something in the air
More deadly than fire
I picked up the key, the hotel clerk knew I lied
He said, stop, take a look around
Everybody see what's going down
Stop, take a look around
Everybody see what's going down
It was a night I will forget
And I don't remember why
All she was wearin' was something I'd seen
From a late night show on cable TV
Where'd the ring go, that he got you
Would he know the way you felt
It's just one fling, before the bells ring
Don't hit below the belt
Ahh, take a look around
Cause the truth that you might be running from
Is bigger than a river called the Amazon
It is a night you may regret
Just don't ask me why
Bless me father for I have sinned
Can you get me out of this mess I'm in
Sometimes I think of you
It happens oh so fast
If I closed my eyes, it would all go by
The strangest freaky thing that ever passed bye bye
Where's the time go, where's the love go
When you live out a fantasy
The sun will shine, you can brush it off
And say it never happened to me
Ahh, take a look around
Cause the truth that you might be runnin' from
Is bigger than a river called the Amazon.
It's big as an explosion called the atom bomb
Courtney lyrics - The Clarks
Everyone's gonna look at me, confounded by my decency
I've got no tales of personal tragedy
Everyone's gonna know my name, they'll talk about my new found fame
Alluding to my functional family
She said she liked a simple melody
She brought me onstage for a bow
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now
Now my friends they all want to know, is this for real or is it just a show
They're taking bets on when I'm history
All her friends are gonna tell her things, shared apartments, diamond rings
And how that car phone's an absolute necessity
She said she liked the way I kissed her cheek
She brought me upstairs, grabbed a towel
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now
Courtney's fond of telling me, I'm everything she used to be
Bridget Fonda's telling her, let's go for steaks baby, you could wear your fur
Then I'll ask to have her hand, and hold it as she quits the band
She whispers playfully you can open up for me
Buy a house, maybe hit the road, share a joint, maybe share the load
And laugh about our plans they're history
She said she liked the way I licked her feet
She brought me upstairs, showed me how
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now
I've got no tales of personal tragedy
Everyone's gonna know my name, they'll talk about my new found fame
Alluding to my functional family
She said she liked a simple melody
She brought me onstage for a bow
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now
Now my friends they all want to know, is this for real or is it just a show
They're taking bets on when I'm history
All her friends are gonna tell her things, shared apartments, diamond rings
And how that car phone's an absolute necessity
She said she liked the way I kissed her cheek
She brought me upstairs, grabbed a towel
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now
Courtney's fond of telling me, I'm everything she used to be
Bridget Fonda's telling her, let's go for steaks baby, you could wear your fur
Then I'll ask to have her hand, and hold it as she quits the band
She whispers playfully you can open up for me
Buy a house, maybe hit the road, share a joint, maybe share the load
And laugh about our plans they're history
She said she liked the way I licked her feet
She brought me upstairs, showed me how
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now
Mercury lyrics - The Clarks
Leave for the country let the day begin
I carry my share of original sin
I'm writing you a letter from a telephone
Sign it messenger man in the great unknown
And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair
Swim up the river to the cedar trees
Follow the sun and catch a nice cool breeze
Bicycle trail only runs so far
This is a place you can't get by car
And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair
Walk through the woods on a moonlit night
I carry a compass and a small flashlight
Deliver my message in a mason jar
Planting my seeds they're growing star to star
And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair
I carry my share of original sin
I'm writing you a letter from a telephone
Sign it messenger man in the great unknown
And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair
Swim up the river to the cedar trees
Follow the sun and catch a nice cool breeze
Bicycle trail only runs so far
This is a place you can't get by car
And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair
Walk through the woods on a moonlit night
I carry a compass and a small flashlight
Deliver my message in a mason jar
Planting my seeds they're growing star to star
And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair
Rain lyrics - The Clarks
Well we've all been through it, thinking times are tough
And I'll see you through it, when you've had enough
And I'll be beside you, many feelings the same
Give back the ruin, give back the rain
Well we've both felt lovely, things are going our way
May you rise above me, may you have your day
And I'll be proud of you, when I call out your name
Give back the ruin, give back the rain
And you know it's the only bridge I know that's still above water
I'm praying my insurance is gonna pay
And you know it's the only road I know that's still above water
I'm praying my family is gonna stay
Well we've both been better, or worse I suppose
And I got your letter, and I washed your clothes
And I'll be right with you, every step of the way
Give back the ruin, give back the rain
And I'll be proud of you, when I call out your name
Give back the ruin, give back the rain
And I'll see you through it, when you've had enough
And I'll be beside you, many feelings the same
Give back the ruin, give back the rain
Well we've both felt lovely, things are going our way
May you rise above me, may you have your day
And I'll be proud of you, when I call out your name
Give back the ruin, give back the rain
And you know it's the only bridge I know that's still above water
I'm praying my insurance is gonna pay
And you know it's the only road I know that's still above water
I'm praying my family is gonna stay
Well we've both been better, or worse I suppose
And I got your letter, and I washed your clothes
And I'll be right with you, every step of the way
Give back the ruin, give back the rain
And I'll be proud of you, when I call out your name
Give back the ruin, give back the rain
Never Let You Down lyrics - The Clarks
I'm you, you're me
You can't run from a lack of mystery
Please just go away
I'm right, you're wrong
You can't hide in a place you don't belong
Please just go away
And I'll never let you
Never let you down
I'm through, you're free
It's head first in the lap of luxury
Please just go away
Alright, you're dead wrong
You can't run, you can't drag me along
Please just go away
And I'll never let you
Never let you down
Fine you're gone away, tell me one more day
I know you're gonna stay, you ask if there's a way
I'm you, you're me
You can't run, you can't stay pissed at me
Please don't go away
And I'll never let you
Never let you down
You can't run from a lack of mystery
Please just go away
I'm right, you're wrong
You can't hide in a place you don't belong
Please just go away
And I'll never let you
Never let you down
I'm through, you're free
It's head first in the lap of luxury
Please just go away
Alright, you're dead wrong
You can't run, you can't drag me along
Please just go away
And I'll never let you
Never let you down
Fine you're gone away, tell me one more day
I know you're gonna stay, you ask if there's a way
I'm you, you're me
You can't run, you can't stay pissed at me
Please don't go away
And I'll never let you
Never let you down
Fatal lyrics - The Clarks
It's a funny kind of feeling, it's got me to the core
She's dripping from the ceiling, I'm lying naked on the floor
She's soaking in my skin now, just like the summer's ray
She's swimming in the gene pool and I'm in her DNA
(Tell me that you want me, tell me that you care)
Nothing else much matters
(Tell me all your secrets, tell me all your fears)
As if it even should
(There's something I gotta tell you, something you should know)
No one else is watching
We'll be fatal to feel this good
They're sampling my blood for anything that they can find
And our friends in conversation say I never was the kind
(Tell me that you love me, tell me that you care)
Nothing else much matters
(Tell me that you notice the flowers in my hair)
As if it even should
(There's something I gotta tell you, something you should know)
No one else is watching
We'll be fatal to feel this good
Honey this is something I've never said before, they're words you won't
soon forget
Honey this is something I've never done before, so fragile lest we forget,
we forget
It's a funny kind of feeling, I'm up against the wall
She's looking up to heaven and I'm heading for a fall
She's dripping from the ceiling, I'm lying naked on the floor
She's soaking in my skin now, just like the summer's ray
She's swimming in the gene pool and I'm in her DNA
(Tell me that you want me, tell me that you care)
Nothing else much matters
(Tell me all your secrets, tell me all your fears)
As if it even should
(There's something I gotta tell you, something you should know)
No one else is watching
We'll be fatal to feel this good
They're sampling my blood for anything that they can find
And our friends in conversation say I never was the kind
(Tell me that you love me, tell me that you care)
Nothing else much matters
(Tell me that you notice the flowers in my hair)
As if it even should
(There's something I gotta tell you, something you should know)
No one else is watching
We'll be fatal to feel this good
Honey this is something I've never said before, they're words you won't
soon forget
Honey this is something I've never done before, so fragile lest we forget,
we forget
It's a funny kind of feeling, I'm up against the wall
She's looking up to heaven and I'm heading for a fall
The Box lyrics - The Clarks
In a box, by the door
I keep a letter you sent before
It says keep, your head up high
I'll think about you while you drive
And when you get up on that stage you will arrive
A collect phone call, the lobby's bare
It's a call to know I care
It's a postcard in the mail
To let you know I haven't failed
And if I miss one day it's been a long, long trail
Welcome to my world
I'm coming home.
And in this hotel lobby
You leave me alone
Will you be there when I return
It's been a question of some concern
And who's to say, what's less or more
Oh, I'll be waiting at your door
And when I see you, I'll know what I've waited for
It's the way we see the world
There's other ways we can't afford
From town to town, we're sometimes late
You hurry up and then you wait
And when it rains you just can't stand out at the gate
I keep a letter you sent before
It says keep, your head up high
I'll think about you while you drive
And when you get up on that stage you will arrive
A collect phone call, the lobby's bare
It's a call to know I care
It's a postcard in the mail
To let you know I haven't failed
And if I miss one day it's been a long, long trail
Welcome to my world
I'm coming home.
And in this hotel lobby
You leave me alone
Will you be there when I return
It's been a question of some concern
And who's to say, what's less or more
Oh, I'll be waiting at your door
And when I see you, I'll know what I've waited for
It's the way we see the world
There's other ways we can't afford
From town to town, we're sometimes late
You hurry up and then you wait
And when it rains you just can't stand out at the gate
One Day In My Life lyrics - The Clarks
I met a girl that I dreamed about for years
Dreamed I'd have no fears, a place to stay
Believe me when I say she had some plans for me
But all the plans she had for me will never be
One day in my life
One day in my life
One day I won't be coming home to you
One day in my life
She had some things for sure that she would want of me
And all the things she wants of me can never be
And as for me I never ask more than I need
But one day, I will ask to be free
One day in my life
One day in my life
One day I won't be coming home to you
One day in my life
She reminds me of the things I couldn't be
Or if I could, it just would not be me
Don't get me wrong it's part of life, it's just a game
They call it Kooties maybe Twister, roll away
Please, please where did he go? Why did he leave?
She said sometimes I'm just a little hard to please
If you see me on the corner I am free
One foot on the bus and off the trampoline
One day in my life
One day in my life
One day I won't be coming home to you
One day in my life
One day in my life
Dreamed I'd have no fears, a place to stay
Believe me when I say she had some plans for me
But all the plans she had for me will never be
One day in my life
One day in my life
One day I won't be coming home to you
One day in my life
She had some things for sure that she would want of me
And all the things she wants of me can never be
And as for me I never ask more than I need
But one day, I will ask to be free
One day in my life
One day in my life
One day I won't be coming home to you
One day in my life
She reminds me of the things I couldn't be
Or if I could, it just would not be me
Don't get me wrong it's part of life, it's just a game
They call it Kooties maybe Twister, roll away
Please, please where did he go? Why did he leave?
She said sometimes I'm just a little hard to please
If you see me on the corner I am free
One foot on the bus and off the trampoline
One day in my life
One day in my life
One day I won't be coming home to you
One day in my life
One day in my life
No Place Called Home lyrics - The Clarks
Momma ran off with a man from town
Daddy came home, found the note, got drunk and fell down
Jessie was crying, no tears would be saved
I couldn't take it so I started pining straight for the grave
I should've told you that night that we slept in the car
I would've told you but I never saw us getting this far
I met a man in a suit, he said he'd give me a job
I wouldn't have to pay taxes and I wouldn't have to rob
Man it was easy, all I had to do was drive
I didn't care what was in the suitcase, it felt good to be alive
I should've told you that night that we slept in the car
I would've told but I never saw us getting this far
I know I've been hard on you baby
Momma should've known that you can't grow up alone
And we will be together someday maybe
There's no place called home
Something was funny, the whole deal kind of strange
I could hear Momma saying son you're Daddy ain't never gonna change
I was down in an instant, just a big flash of light
Undercover lie bleeding, I guess I put up a fight
I should've told you that night we made love on the bar
I would've told you but I never saw us getting this far
I know I've been hard on you baby
Momma should've known that you can't grow up alone
And we will be together someday maybe
There's no place called home
Daddy came home, found the note, got drunk and fell down
Jessie was crying, no tears would be saved
I couldn't take it so I started pining straight for the grave
I should've told you that night that we slept in the car
I would've told you but I never saw us getting this far
I met a man in a suit, he said he'd give me a job
I wouldn't have to pay taxes and I wouldn't have to rob
Man it was easy, all I had to do was drive
I didn't care what was in the suitcase, it felt good to be alive
I should've told you that night that we slept in the car
I would've told but I never saw us getting this far
I know I've been hard on you baby
Momma should've known that you can't grow up alone
And we will be together someday maybe
There's no place called home
Something was funny, the whole deal kind of strange
I could hear Momma saying son you're Daddy ain't never gonna change
I was down in an instant, just a big flash of light
Undercover lie bleeding, I guess I put up a fight
I should've told you that night we made love on the bar
I would've told you but I never saw us getting this far
I know I've been hard on you baby
Momma should've known that you can't grow up alone
And we will be together someday maybe
There's no place called home
Everything Has Changed lyrics - The Clarks
I thought we'd always be together
We'd sit around and drink black coffee
Talkin' 'bout the people we had been
We traveled through the childhood memories
You showed me scars from the bars of monkey
Smiling as your eyes reflected me
Now everything has changed
Your street, your hair, your name
My world is rearranged
'Cause everything has, everything has changed
I woke up on a winter Wednesday
I read the note that you had left me
You found another friend to help you through
For years I tried to put you under
The memories made me run for cover
I'd see your face in everything I'd do
Well I was wrong
You never felt the same
And now you've gone
Away... away
The days of wine and roses tasted
I think of all the time I've wasted
Wanderin' through a past that could have been
I know that nothing lasts forever
Best times are the ones remembered
Thankful for the days that I have seen
Everything has changed.
We'd sit around and drink black coffee
Talkin' 'bout the people we had been
We traveled through the childhood memories
You showed me scars from the bars of monkey

My world is rearranged
'Cause everything has, everything has changed
I woke up on a winter Wednesday

You found another friend to help you through
For years I tried to put you under
The memories made me run for cover
I'd see your face in everything I'd do
Well I was wrong

And now you've gone
Away... away
The days of wine and roses tasted
I think of all the time I've wasted
Wanderin' through a past that could have been
I know that nothing lasts forever
Best times are the ones remembered
Thankful for the days that I have seen
Everything has changed.
These Wishes lyrics - The Clarks
After 3 years ya know I'd die for you
But I wouldn't cross the street to shake your hand
If it turns out that I get nine lives
I'd swear in 3 years you took 10
Our kisses don't seem that right anymore
It seems we're living outta fear
And out love is like a foggy vacation
And I'm wishing you were clear
Well I'm wishing on my dear
That these devils were not here
If you would listen you could here
I'm still waiting on my dear
For your love...your love
Your love...your love
Well I fed the cats and
I put out the trash
To the big can in the back
And the apartment we shared next to the neighbor
Who cared a little too much for us
Well ya worked out the paper
While I sat home in bed
Wishing all the wishes I could wish
Seems like we love everything we could not have
And we hate everything that we need
Well I'm wishing on my dear
That these devils were not here
If you would listen you could here
I'm still waiting on my dear
For your love...your love
Your love...your love

Last Call lyrics - The Clarks
It's a late night in this town
It's time to move on
And our time, it came and went
Find your coat, find your keys
Find the man of your dreams
And how much money he spent
So set down your drink
You've had more than you should
Your last chance has just come and gone
Well she's gone for the door
And she looks all alone
Let me know what she looks like at dawn
Last call, again
Last call, do you know where you're going
Last call, again
There are lovers and fighters
at 2:00 AM
A big girl named Carol,
Well she just left with Jim
And it's hard sometimes
To make up your mind
They're out in the lot
And she's going down on him
So roll your leg over
Take the bow not the stern
And pray before you begin
'Cause this date's not your mate
And it's not where you're going
But more like where they've been
Slip a beer in your coat
Keep your arms to your side
'Cause going home,
That's a pretty good drive
Keep it under the dash
And watch who you pass
For your first DWI
It's time to move on
And our time, it came and went
Find your coat, find your keys
Find the man of your dreams
And how much money he spent
So set down your drink
You've had more than you should
Your last chance has just come and gone
Well she's gone for the door
And she looks all alone
Let me know what she looks like at dawn
Last call, again
Last call, do you know where you're going
Last call, again
There are lovers and fighters
at 2:00 AM
A big girl named Carol,
Well she just left with Jim
And it's hard sometimes
To make up your mind
They're out in the lot
And she's going down on him
So roll your leg over
Take the bow not the stern
And pray before you begin
'Cause this date's not your mate
And it's not where you're going
But more like where they've been
Slip a beer in your coat
Keep your arms to your side
'Cause going home,
That's a pretty good drive
Keep it under the dash
And watch who you pass
For your first DWI
Hollywood lyrics - The Clarks
[Bonus Track]
I'm living in the hills
My accountant pay my bills
I got a Mercedes-Benz
I hope this life never ends
And something's always happening when I show up
Man he drops a line about some bump uptown
For a disco diamond dog he met at the pound
The way she stood, I knew he would
His money is good
In Hollywood
I'm living with my man
No marriage in the plan
But like Mercedes Ruehl
He's gonna find I'm a jewel
And my boyfriend says he wants to break up
So I brought my pills and my makeup ground
Just in case I stay over or sleep on the town
The way she stood, I knew he would
The head is good
In Hollywood
And every goddamn things serves to remind me
That I'm alive but someday they're gonna find me
On the ground
I'm living on the street
I've got blisters on my feet
Could you spare some change for some food?
You ain't got to be so rude
And I've got no family to speak of
But I've got some cardboard and a tea cup
Found it in the garbage
You kick me, tell me to move up and down
The avenue, but I like the view
The sun is so good
In Hollywood
Spare a minute and listen to my story
There's fame, fortune and of course there is sex and glory
Bound for the big time houses, the rich side of town
The way he stood, I knew he would
The sun is so good
In Hollywood
I'm living in the hills
My accountant pay my bills
I got a Mercedes-Benz
I hope this life never ends
And something's always happening when I show up
Man he drops a line about some bump uptown
For a disco diamond dog he met at the pound
The way she stood, I knew he would
His money is good
In Hollywood
I'm living with my man
No marriage in the plan
But like Mercedes Ruehl
He's gonna find I'm a jewel
And my boyfriend says he wants to break up
So I brought my pills and my makeup ground
Just in case I stay over or sleep on the town
The way she stood, I knew he would
The head is good
In Hollywood
And every goddamn things serves to remind me
That I'm alive but someday they're gonna find me
On the ground
I'm living on the street
I've got blisters on my feet
Could you spare some change for some food?
You ain't got to be so rude
And I've got no family to speak of
But I've got some cardboard and a tea cup
Found it in the garbage
You kick me, tell me to move up and down

Bound for the big time houses, the rich side of town
The way he stood, I knew he would
The sun is so good

Lost And Found lyrics - The Clarks
[Bonus Track]
I didn't think you had it in you to up and move away
All the dreams we shared baby well I hope you like LA
I was writing in my book of regrets how it seems like yesterday
It's kind of funny how that so many things rhyme with gone away
I saw the sun when I hit the ground
Took a look in the lost and found
Lost my friends but I found myself okay
It wouldn't do us any good for me to try to make you stay
It's kind of funny how that so many things time has washed away
I saw the sun when I hit the ground
Took a look in the lost and found
Lost my friends but I found myself okay
I didn't think you had it in you to up and move away
All the dreams we shared baby well I hope you like LA
I was writing in my book of regrets how it seems like yesterday
It's kind of funny how that so many things rhyme with gone away
I saw the sun when I hit the ground
Took a look in the lost and found
Lost my friends but I found myself okay
It wouldn't do us any good for me to try to make you stay
It's kind of funny how that so many things time has washed away
I saw the sun when I hit the ground
Took a look in the lost and found
Lost my friends but I found myself okay
Treehouse lyrics - The Clarks
Where you going, whatcha looking for
You're looking alright to me
When you grow up what do you want to be
Watcha doing, can I play too
I had a good life today
Mamma said it's alright, you can stay
And it's one, two, three I got my hey Marie
Come on let's climb a tree up to the sky
What's the matter, do you feel alright
Maybe you should stay in bed
Honey it's not what you did it's what you said
How'd you do that will you show me how
I wanna grow up so fast
No one told me that the child in me won't last
Well, let's climb a tree, I got my hey Marie
Come on and look at me up in the sky
I never had the chance to say goodbye
I never had a treehouse in the sky
And it's one, two, three I got my hey Marie
Come on and look at me up in the sky
Say goodbye goodbye
You're looking alright to me
When you grow up what do you want to be
Watcha doing, can I play too
I had a good life today
Mamma said it's alright, you can stay
And it's one, two, three I got my hey Marie
Come on let's climb a tree up to the sky
What's the matter, do you feel alright
Maybe you should stay in bed
Honey it's not what you did it's what you said
How'd you do that will you show me how
I wanna grow up so fast
No one told me that the child in me won't last
Well, let's climb a tree, I got my hey Marie
Come on and look at me up in the sky
I never had the chance to say goodbye
I never had a treehouse in the sky
And it's one, two, three I got my hey Marie
Come on and look at me up in the sky
Say goodbye goodbye
Cigarette lyrics - The Clarks
In a black and far off corner of my mind
There's a box of something I can't quite define
It houses circus freaks, temptation and bad trips
In an isolated corner of the box
There's a trap door covered up with dirt and rocks
It opens to the stairs that lead down to the crypt
Do you know where you're going when you've taken your last step
Do you know what you get?
Cigarette
On a dark and lonely road in my hometown
Stands a house that long ago should've been torn down
It reeks of love gone sour, suspicion and bad debt
On a weather beaten transom in the house
Walks a friend of mine that I call the old king mouse
He dances in the moonlight and sleeps out on the steps
Do you know where you're going when you've taken your last breath?
Do you know what you get?
Do you know where you're going when they've paid their last regrets?
Do you know what you get?
Cigarette
In a black and far off corner of my mind
There's a box of something I can't quite define
It houses circus freaks, temptation and the Fayette County Fair
And it reeks of love gone sour, suspicion and big hair
Do you know where you're going when you've taken your last breath?
Do you know what you get?
Do you know where you're going when the devil starts to sweat?
Do you know what you get?
A cigarette
There's a box of something I can't quite define
It houses circus freaks, temptation and bad trips
In an isolated corner of the box
There's a trap door covered up with dirt and rocks
It opens to the stairs that lead down to the crypt
Do you know where you're going when you've taken your last step
Do you know what you get?
Cigarette
On a dark and lonely road in my hometown
Stands a house that long ago should've been torn down
It reeks of love gone sour, suspicion and bad debt
On a weather beaten transom in the house
Walks a friend of mine that I call the old king mouse
He dances in the moonlight and sleeps out on the steps
Do you know where you're going when you've taken your last breath?
Do you know what you get?
Do you know where you're going when they've paid their last regrets?
Do you know what you get?
Cigarette
In a black and far off corner of my mind
There's a box of something I can't quite define
It houses circus freaks, temptation and the Fayette County Fair
And it reeks of love gone sour, suspicion and big hair
Do you know where you're going when you've taken your last breath?
Do you know what you get?
Do you know where you're going when the devil starts to sweat?
Do you know what you get?
A cigarette
Promised Land lyrics - The Clarks
It's my decision, I'm gonna be the man
Smash the television and take a stand
And it's my opinion, you could use a hand
Smash the indecision and take my hand
On this caravan into the promised land
It's my communion, I'm down on my knees
You've got to pray for our union and believe in me...
I'm asking for your hand into the promised land
When he met her she was just 19, and everything was right
On the way back home they stopped and kissed
On a cold November night
Five years on he bought a ring
Almost to the day
A year went by she gave it back
Nothing left to say
And it's my confusion, that's tearing me apart
And your disillusion burns inside my heart
I've been tried and convicted
You're sending me away
I'll have the last inscription
On judgement day...
One more lonely man in a foreign land
Smash the television and take a stand
And it's my opinion, you could use a hand
Smash the indecision and take my hand
On this caravan into the promised land
It's my communion, I'm down on my knees
You've got to pray for our union and believe in me...
I'm asking for your hand into the promised land
When he met her she was just 19, and everything was right
On the way back home they stopped and kissed
On a cold November night
Five years on he bought a ring
Almost to the day
A year went by she gave it back
Nothing left to say
And it's my confusion, that's tearing me apart
And your disillusion burns inside my heart
I've been tried and convicted
You're sending me away
I'll have the last inscription
On judgement day...
One more lonely man in a foreign land
Now And Then lyrics - The Clarks
Days pass and the weeks go by
Dream for hours 'bout the future
See the faces and the names go by
Between now and then...
These days
Years pass and your life goes by
All the while you stop to wonder
Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers lie
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
These days
Do you walk all the way?
Carry all that weight
Do you walk all the way?
Now and then
Days pass and the weeks go by
Dream for hours 'bout the future
See the faces and the names go by
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
These days
Dream for hours 'bout the future
See the faces and the names go by
Between now and then...
These days
Years pass and your life goes by
All the while you stop to wonder
Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers lie
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
These days
Do you walk all the way?
Carry all that weight
Do you walk all the way?
Now and then
Days pass and the weeks go by
Dream for hours 'bout the future
See the faces and the names go by
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
These days
Sun Don't Shine lyrics - The Clarks
He takes the pain with his coffee
Stirs up his memory
On the streets where he wants to be
Mixing up a remedy
He lights up a cigarette
One thing he ain't quittin' yet
He leans on the launderette
Trusts no one he's ever met
Yeah, the sun don't shine for me
Addiction is gradual
Love is a chemical
God is habitual
Pain is desirable
Yeah, the sun don't shine
And the rain it don't mind
Yeah, the sun don't shine for me....
For me
I'm not the one to tell you lies
I don't mean to glamorize.
It'll knock you right down to size
Don't need it to make me wise
Yeah, the sun don't shine
And the rain it don't mind
Yeah, the sun don't shine for me....
For me
You really got me going
Through my veins the blood is flowing
You really had me going
Though my veins the blood is flowing
Stirs up his memory
On the streets where he wants to be
Mixing up a remedy
He lights up a cigarette
One thing he ain't quittin' yet
He leans on the launderette
Trusts no one he's ever met
Yeah, the sun don't shine for me
Addiction is gradual
Love is a chemical
God is habitual
Pain is desirable
Yeah, the sun don't shine
And the rain it don't mind
Yeah, the sun don't shine for me....
For me
I'm not the one to tell you lies
I don't mean to glamorize.
It'll knock you right down to size
Don't need it to make me wise
Yeah, the sun don't shine
And the rain it don't mind
Yeah, the sun don't shine for me....
For me
You really got me going
Through my veins the blood is flowing
You really had me going
Though my veins the blood is flowing
Better Day lyrics - The Clarks
Everybody wants to find a way
Everybody wants a better day

You want to know, you've gotta find a better day
Everybody got to get along

You want to know, you've gotta find a better way
You want to know, you've gotta find a better day

I'm The Only lyrics - The Clarks
You are the one for me I don't think you know it yet
You are the one for me though we've never even met
I can tell by the way you looked at me the other night
Something tells me I'm the only
We both got somebody that don't matter anymore
'Cause everybody's playing there's no one left to keep the score
It could be a lost weekend in the mountains or at the shore
Something tells me I'm the only one around for you
In this town for you, it's coming down for you and me
I know you're trying to get by and you don't seem to care
The way you pretend not to look as your hand falls through your hair
Well I just wanted to say sorry I don't mean to stare
Something tells me I'm the only one around for you
In this town for you, it's coming down for you and me
I'm the only
I'm the only
I'm the only
I'm the only one
I'm the only one
You are the one for me though we've never even met
I can tell by the way you looked at me the other night
Something tells me I'm the only
We both got somebody that don't matter anymore
'Cause everybody's playing there's no one left to keep the score
It could be a lost weekend in the mountains or at the shore
Something tells me I'm the only one around for you
In this town for you, it's coming down for you and me
I know you're trying to get by and you don't seem to care
The way you pretend not to look as your hand falls through your hair
Well I just wanted to say sorry I don't mean to stare
Something tells me I'm the only one around for you
In this town for you, it's coming down for you and me
I'm the only
I'm the only
I'm the only
I'm the only one
I'm the only one
Behind My Back lyrics - The Clarks
Lost in love and lost in lies
Lost in.... my mind's eyes
Of all the things I've lost in life
My mind's what I miss, by far
Jesus came from my hometown
But he left when he found out
About the lovers and the liars...
These days who can tell them apart?
Behind my back, behind my back, behind my back
Strange things that go on behind my back
Tight and loud just you and me
Lost and gone, from here it will be
Who'd have thought you'd play that part
Who'd have known you'd be breaking my heart
Behind my back, behind my back, behind my back
Strange things that go on behind my back
Short in sight we couldn't see
Lost in lies I'd never believe
High on life and just too proud
It just never occurred to me
That you'd be home just bedding down
Behind my back
Behind my clown
Behind my back, behind my back, behind my back
Strange things that go on behind my back
Behind my back, behind my back, behind my back
Strange things that go
Lost in.... my mind's eyes
Of all the things I've lost in life
My mind's what I miss, by far
Jesus came from my hometown
But he left when he found out
About the lovers and the liars...
These days who can tell them apart?
Behind my back, behind my back, behind my back
Strange things that go on behind my back
Tight and loud just you and me
Lost and gone, from here it will be
Who'd have thought you'd play that part
Who'd have known you'd be breaking my heart
Behind my back, behind my back, behind my back
Strange things that go on behind my back
Short in sight we couldn't see
Lost in lies I'd never believe
High on life and just too proud
It just never occurred to me
That you'd be home just bedding down
Behind my back
Behind my clown
Behind my back, behind my back, behind my back
Strange things that go on behind my back
Behind my back, behind my back, behind my back
Strange things that go
Climb Down lyrics - The Clarks
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you down
Climb down from your high horse boy
Climb down, climb down
Climb down the world revolves around you
You hold it up but not for me to abuse
I've learned from you to lie and do what I choose
Do as I say just don't do what I do
Climb down when you tell me what's right
Judge the world from your near hindsight
I'll hold my own and my freedom to lose
'Cause what your holding's about to fall on you
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you down
Climb down from your high horse boy
Climb down, climb down
Climb down
Climb down from the big, blue sky
Everybody wants to get you high
Everybody's gonna know your name
Your getting pretty good at playing the game
Climb down from the weight of the hill
And what a race, man its such a thrill
So sad to hear about your next affair
Never seen a man drown in thin, hot air
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you down
Climb down from your high horse boy
Climb down, climb down
Everybody, all the people, saw you on the tv show
Everybody, all the children, heard you on the radio
Everybody, come on along just like me.....
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you down
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you down
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you
Or somebody's gonna knock you down
Climb down from your high horse boy
Climb down, climb down
Climb down the world revolves around you
You hold it up but not for me to abuse
I've learned from you to lie and do what I choose
Do as I say just don't do what I do
Climb down when you tell me what's right
Judge the world from your near hindsight
I'll hold my own and my freedom to lose
'Cause what your holding's about to fall on you
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you down
Climb down from your high horse boy
Climb down, climb down
Climb down
Climb down from the big, blue sky
Everybody wants to get you high
Everybody's gonna know your name
Your getting pretty good at playing the game
Climb down from the weight of the hill
And what a race, man its such a thrill
So sad to hear about your next affair
Never seen a man drown in thin, hot air
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you down
Climb down from your high horse boy
Climb down, climb down
Everybody, all the people, saw you on the tv show
Everybody, all the children, heard you on the radio
Everybody, come on along just like me.....
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you down
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you down
Climb down from your high horse boy
Or somebody's gonna knock you
Madeline lyrics - The Clarks
Madeline flows like the summer stream
She talks with her eyes, she moves in a dream
Serenity grows in a pasture of green, and Madeline flows
Abagail flies on a silver wing
She might let me go she might let me sing
Prosperity lies in a mountain of things, and Abagail flies
When you find her tell her you don't mind the way that she crosses her legs
She winks to let you know
I only like to observe I don't profess to know
Kira comes on like the morning sun
She opens her eyes, she looks out for fun
Affinity flies through a canyon of one, and Kira comes on
Tabatha walks in the pouring rain
She closes her eyes to block out the pain
Disparity flows through a river of shame, and Tabatha walks
When you find her tell her you don't mind the way that she crosses her legs
She winks to let you know
I only like to observe I don't profess to know
And in the garden of blue she's coming back to you and the feeling is true
Oh Madeline won't you tell me what your gonna do
And when you find her tell her you mind the way she crosses her heart
And says I hope to die
I guess I'll never know you I guess I'll never know why
And in the garden of blue she's coming back to you and the feeling is true
Oh Madeline I never knew what you were going through
She talks with her eyes, she moves in a dream
Serenity grows in a pasture of green, and Madeline flows
Abagail flies on a silver wing
She might let me go she might let me sing
Prosperity lies in a mountain of things, and Abagail flies
When you find her tell her you don't mind the way that she crosses her legs
She winks to let you know
I only like to observe I don't profess to know
Kira comes on like the morning sun
She opens her eyes, she looks out for fun
Affinity flies through a canyon of one, and Kira comes on
Tabatha walks in the pouring rain
She closes her eyes to block out the pain
Disparity flows through a river of shame, and Tabatha walks
When you find her tell her you don't mind the way that she crosses her legs
She winks to let you know
I only like to observe I don't profess to know
And in the garden of blue she's coming back to you and the feeling is true
Oh Madeline won't you tell me what your gonna do
And when you find her tell her you mind the way she crosses her heart
And says I hope to die
I guess I'll never know you I guess I'll never know why
And in the garden of blue she's coming back to you and the feeling is true
Oh Madeline I never knew what you were going through
