Love can make you weep
Can make you run for cover
Roots that spread so deep
Bring life to frozen ground
Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today
Turning in my sleep
Love can leave you cold
A taste of jealousy
Is like a lust for gold
Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today
I've been
Feeling so much older
Frame me
And hang me on the wall
I've seen
You fall into the same trap
This thing
Is happening to us all, yeah
Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today
Something so strong
Something so strong
Something so strong
Something, something so strong
Yeah
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
New Year's Day
Last night I had too much to drink
sitting in a club with so many fools
playing to rules
trying to impress and feeling rather empty
I had another drink
What a way to spend that evening
you don't turn up with their friends
playing their game
here in the scene or it should be
far away
Getting up first without remembering
where I've been
I open the door to an empty room
then I forget
The telephone rings and someone speaks
she would very much like to go
out to a show
so what can I do, I can't think what to say
she sees trough any way
Out of the front door I go
traffic's moving rather slow
arriving late
there she waits looking very angry
as cross as she can be
Paintbox
My friends all tell me
Go to him, run to him
Say sweet lovely things to him
And tell him, he's the one
Deep in my heart I know it
But it's so hard to show it
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done
My buddies tell me
Fly to him, sigh to him
Tell him I would die for him
And tell him, he's the one
Although he gives me a feeling
That sets my heart a-reeling
Yet it's easier, easier said than done
Well, I know (I know) that I love him so
But I'm afraid that he'll never know
Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy
Each time that I look him in the eye
They all tell me
Sing to him, swing with him
And just do anything for him
And tell him, he's the one
I got a love so true
And yet I'm sad and blue
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done
Well, I know (I know) that I love him so
But I'm afraid that he'll never know
Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy
Each time that I look him in the eye
They all tell me
Sing to him, swing with him
And just do anything for him
And tell him, he's the one
I got a love so true
And yet I'm sad and blue
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done
Easier-er-er-er, said than done

Time for sleep
Time for prayers
Time for dusk
Dust in eyes
Grinning jaws
Grit in teeth
All things pass
Death and deeds
Break the black ice
In this earth
In this town
In this land
In this hour
In this time
For this age
In this flesh
In this joining
Break the black ice
In this spasm
In this jerk
In this crib
A little death
For this boy
Little screams
A little blood
A tattooed rune
Break the black ice
In this kiss (not mine not yours)
In this curse (not mine not yours)
Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
It's good, so good, it's so good
So good
Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you
I'll be your plastic toy
I'll be your plastic toy
For you
Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
(Just like honey)

I feel like I'm pounding on a big door
No one can hear me knocking,
I feel like I'm falling flat to the floor
No one can catch me from falling
The hourglass has no more grains of sand,
My watch has stopped no more turning hands
The crew have abandoned ship
The lights are on but now one is in

I feel like I'm calling on a telephone
No one can hear the ringing,
I feel like I'm running up a steep hill
No one can stop me from running
The hourglass has no more grains of sand
My watch has stopped no more turning hands
The little hand shakes it's fist
The face is hanging out on a spring

Little green neon hands

I feel like I'm calling back to the shore
No one can hear me calling
I feel like I'm falling flat to the floor
No one can catch me from falling
