Calling Yer Name
04:35
|
|||
How could you be so blinded?
When I tell the truth, I really don't mind it
and I'll bear with the pain just to cover the strain
In this room alone, it just feels the same
I know - But I can't show you
Is the world so cold is it calling yer name?
I don't need this heart to feel again
How had you been misguided?
Till it happens to you, you'll just stay quiet
When I only think of myself I feel ashamed
Alone, in this room it's all the same
Is the world so cold is it calling yer name?
I don't need this heart to feel again

Midnite Oil
02:52
|

It's overwhelming - that midnite oil
Burns hard sweat so fast- Not far from death in toil
You're turning around
swivel up, turned upside down
You're turning around
Can you hardly see now
You - kills you
Midnite oil
That midnite oil - starts a trance, flickering flame
Burns bright on foreign soil - gonna go straight to yer brain
They got you turning around
Swivel up turn upside down
They got you turning around
Can you hardly see now
You - kills you
Midnite oil

The Tears Don't Fall
03:47
|

Dark lines have surrounded your sunken eyes
Truth has been spread from the wounds you bled
Please let me tend to you with some cold advice:
"It's all in your head" - well isn't that nice?
But the tears don't fall
the tears don't fall for you
I heard you say... ".."
Oh what the hell do I care what you said
'Cause you're all alone - 'cause you drink in bed
Still the tears don't fall
the tears don't fall for you;
Not like I do
When you find you try to be all by yourself
Were you losing control were you rotting in your cell?
It's getting closer now, so close to me
See that the tears don't fall
the tears don't fall for you;
Not like I do

My Brothers
03:46
|

You both came to my house yesterday
it all feels like a dream here with you two
I wanted to say:
It's really all just the same as it was
Now we're picking up speed on the highway
and we're throwing things at each other
You pick out some song on the radio
but all I really want to hear is the song that you wrote
and forget the world
Till we're sitting out underneath the stars
tryna figure it out and who we are at the dam;
Play "Sound and Color"
I think I'll call you my brothers
And here with you two it feels alright
I know that you can make things right
and here with you two it feels okay too
'cause you're my brothers - that's all my brothers

True Blue
03:08
|
|||
The days have me on my knees
Everyone's so quick for answers
And all we get is a strip-tease
This self-serving is cancer
I'll tell the truth to you;
You were always a headache and you're screwing things up
but did you reach the top?
And it was always too late when you'd pick up the phone
Please leave me alone
I've felt this way for a long time
I guess I'll always be true blue
Formalities are so fine that they don't mean a thing to you
I've felt this way for a long time
The days have me on my knees
I guess I'll always be true blue
but that doesn't mean a thing to you

House of Mirrors
03:38
|
|||
I think it was yesterday - I thought I saw you
Standing on the corner, I knew I was dreaming
But still I came closer, still I came closer
I wish I'd have known I was trapped in a house full of mirrors
Lately everyone has been missing you
Can't say I'm the only one who's still hanging on
I think it was yesterday I thought I saw you standing on the corner
I knew I was dreaming

Strange Days
04:24
|
|||
Today's a shade of blue
Oh it's such an awful world
and the same sad news of it all is too much
So I drop my head down to the floor
and pray for something more
At night when you're alone in your room
Do you think of me at all?
These strange days are pushing me
to waltz myself into the street
'cause I need someone here for me
'cause these days are strange to me
Mother please lay me down and father let me go
'Cause no-one cared to ask when I was thrown into this world
No-one cared to ask if I could make it on my own
and the absurd dictate death it's obscene
but it's true
These strange days are pushing me
to waltz myself into the street
and I need something to help me
'cause these days are strange to me

Fighting the Clock
04:06
|
|||
I don't mean a thing when I say what I said
I don't mean a thing
And I try to sing but it comes out wrong
when I sing my songs
And what's in my head before I go to bed
Is this:
"Don't you know you're gonna die?
Someday it's true - it'll happen to me and you
And don't you think your heart will sink
or stop?"
We're all fighting the clock
just fighting the clock
I don't mean a thing it's true
I don't mean a thing.... That's all
And don't you know; I don't know
It's true I just don't know
'Cause all I think about
It's all I think about
Is all I think about
It's all I think about
Is fighting the clock
Fighting the clock

Hope is a Dream
03:05
|
|||
Reaching out, my hand is out for you
You've been feeling so tired - I've been tired too
'Cause hope is a dream
but it chokes you till you bleed and leaves you to die
it leaves you to die
Once we return to the months where we burn logs till they're dust
I'll be sorry; I'm sorry to the ones that I loved
'Cause hope was a dream
And it choked me ruthlessly and left me to die
It left me to die
And no they don't love you
not like I do
not like I do
'Cause hope is a dream
hope is a dream
hope is a dream
is a dream, is a dream, is a dream
But not mine - no it's not mine
