Make it Beautiful
03:59
|

|
We'll make it beautiful
If we can
I'll press record
You start up the band
We'll make it beautiful
But you won't understand
We could gather our enemies
And throw them to the ground
But we've wasted our energy
By making this sound
While you take your beauty
And throw it around
I don't waste sympathy
For wasted time
You give me empathy
I'll give you mine
I can't have everything
But my ego still shines
We'll make it beautiful
In the end
I'll press record
You change the trend

Love
04:41
|

|
Please leave:
All hate and jealousy and destructive emotions
I have found a way
To take all of my dreams
And wrap them up
And put them into the ocean
I will try
To hug you and kiss you
And tell you that you're pure beautiful
Please believe in:
Hope and Joy and Love and Faith
And Love
Please believe in me
Accept me, don't reject me
And Please don't forget me

Help me
I'm sick of this tomb
I need to find a way
To get to your room
I'm tired
I want to break free
But you've got
A hold over me
Midnight
Let's run around
I gotta get
Out of this town
But I'm still here
Stuck inside
Broken
But amplified
Amy says it's good to be dead
Useless
Wasted sound
Lost ones
Were never found
Broken eyes
And cracked guitar
I gotta get this mind
And take it far
Amy says it's good to be dead

Jesus
02:35
|
|||
|
We met on the sand
He grabbed my hand
And he called me Jesus
Took me unaware
Touched me
Then he called me saviour
Said he came from another land
Just to touch my hand
And call me Jesus
It was hard to tell
Maybe heaven, maybe hell
Met Emanuel
It was hard to speak
Maybe the bleak and meek
Are blessed
Emanuel

Burning
03:49
|

|
Sometimes I feel
Feel that I'm burning
Burning for you
You're burning for me
When I look out of my window,
I'll see someone I like
I want to hold
Ten I look out of my doorway
Onto the street
And I feel cold
Sometimes I feel
Feel that I'm burning
Burning for you
You're burning for me
Then I meet somebody new
I look to them happy and thoughtfully
And I look for some way
This escapade could benefit me
Sometimes I feel
Feel that I'm burning
Burning for you
You're burning for me
Broken imagination runs wild child next to me
I look at you - you look at me
You turn your head away and see
Sometimes I feel
Feel that I'm burning
Burning for you
You're burning for me
Baby I need you can't you see
I miss your kisses
Love your kisses
And I think of you and me
Sometimes I feel
Feel that I'm burning
Burning for you
You're burning for me

The Lost Weekend
04:49
|
|||
|
I’ve realised that there’s love deep inside me
In a little corner,
There’s somebody waiting to be another man
I’ll grab my coat and take you down to Paris
We’ll have a lost weekend away
And then we’ll come back here and
Survive another day
We’ll have two drinks and we’ll salsa
And then move to the next bar
You’re oh so beautiful to me
And when we’re bored of that
I’ll take you back to our hotel
And I’ll spin you ‘round that room
In some long forgotten Parisian alleyway
We can feel the heat of the midnight city
Around us
It never goes to SLEEP or rests
And we’ll make love in its safety
We’ll have two drinks and we’ll salsa
And then move to the next bar
You’re oh so beautiful to me

Dull Grey Sky
02:59
|
|||
|
I saw a tear escape from your eye
As we lay under this foreign sky
You know I want you in my life
Oh yeah
You're the kind of person I don't want to lose
For you I'd break all of the rules
Don't you know you're the one that I choose
Oh yeah
You've got long black hair
And dark brown eyes
You're my baby
Under these dull grey skies
Back at the hotel you've got to be mine
I watch as your lips touch a glass of wine
Oh good god! You look divine!
Oh yeah
You've got long black hair
And dark brown eyes
You're my baby
Under these dull grey skies
Let's stay up late and watch a movie tonight
It's a tragedy because the heroin dies
At least she had her lover by her side
Oh yeah

The Gap in the Curtain
04:01
|

He is through the gap in the curtain
His smile was enough to take her form me
Why won't he let me be
How can I love her and she not love me?
Oh I know you're there
I want to look but it's rude to stare
She had my heart for so long
How could I be I be so wrong?
The gap through the curtain is not enough
Loving her can be tough
Let it be stop teasing me
Let it be
Now as she moves on
I'm standing alone with my thoughts
I'm thinking it over again
If I could, what would I change?
So what's he got that I lack?
His actions throw me off track
e treats her like she's nothing
The way that se treats me
The gap through the curtain is not enough
Loving her can be tough
Let it be stop teasing me
Let it be

Alex v. the Bomb
04:19
|
|||
|
So the story goes he packed his clothes
And took the next train out
He said that he couldn't take it any more
So he grabbed his things and took the railway south
All his little life he'd been told he was doing wrong
It felt to him like Alex versus The Bomb
When we were young we always thought
That we would turn out to be invincible
but as we grew we soon found out
That the worst part of life is that we're really invisible
So Alex took that train into the setting sun
It was like Alex versus The Bomb
You should have seen
That we could be so sentimental
I know it's been so very hard
For you to do what you do
But hey that's the thing
life rolls into an endless display
and you can't begin
To wonder why and still make your way
So the story goes he overdosed
He said he got so sick and tired of this life
So we burnt his clothes and dug his clothes
And said goodbye to his little life
All his life he had been the one
He'd been the Alex versus the Bomb
