I just don't know where to turn
The water's gone
I feel no burn
I just don't know what to do
The water's gone
And flown right through
I put my fingers through the flame
I don't know why, I feel no pain
I'm getting old I can't explain
I just can't go through this again
(repeat)
Fingers through the flame
Fingers through the flame
I put my fingers through the flame
I just know what to say
The water's gone and leached away
I just don't know what to think
The water's gone, yet still I sink
I put my fingers through the flame
I don't know why, I feel no pain
I'm getting old I can't explain
I just can't go through this again
(repeat)
Fingers through the flame
Fingers through the flame
I put my fingers through the flame
(repeat)

Colours
04:23

Some colours are red
Most colours are blue
These colours remind me of the things I used to do
Some colours are black
These colours are white
These colours remind me of when things were quite alright
I can see colours in the air
It's amazing, the colours I have seen
It's amazing, the colours of my dreams,
It's amazing, the colours on my wall
It's amazing that I'm still here
At all.
At all.
That I'm still here at all
These colours are good
Some colours are bad
These colours remind me of the good times that I had
Some colours go up
These colours go down
Colours remind me of the faces of sad clowns
I can feel colours in the air
It's amazing, the colours I have seen
It's amazing, the colours of my dreams,
It's amazing, the colours on my wall
It's amazing that I'm stil here
At all
It's amazing, the colours I have seen
It's amazing, the colours of my dreams,
It's amazing, the colours on my wall
It's amazing that I'm stil here
At all

Burn The House Down
04:21
|

She's so good looking
He's such a boor
They don't know what they're fighting for
The face of an angel
He's such a whore
This could be the start of the third world war
But they get on like a house on fire
Set the match to this funeral pyre
Watch the flames grow higher and higher
Burn the house down
Burn the house down
Burn the house down
Burn the house down
(repeat)
And when they've burnt it down
They're going to turn around
They're going to drive right down
To the sea
She listens to Five Live
He reads The Mail
Sure as eggs, this is going to fail
She listens to dubstep
He listens to Grieg
There's no way on this earth they'll agree
But they get on like a house on fire
Set the match to this funeral pyre
Watch the flames grow higher and higher
Burn the house down
Burn the house down
Burn the house down
Burn the house down
(repeat)
And when they've burnt it down
They're going to turn around
They're going to drive right down
To the sea
Burn the house down
Burn the house down
Burn the house down
Burn the house down
(repeat)
And when they've burnt it down
They're going to turn around
They're going to drive right down
To Brightlingsea

Clouds

Clouds in my whiskey
Clouds on my lungs
Clouds in the deeps sea
Yeah, there are clouds round the sun
Clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my tea
Clouds in the ocean
Yeah, there are clouds in the sea
It may come as scant surprise
I've got clouds in my eyes
Clouds round my judgement
Clouds every night
Clouds in the city
Clouds steal my light
Clouds round midnight
Clouds every day
Clouds in my X-rays
Yeah, there are clouds in my way
It may come as scant surprise
I've got clouds in my eyes
I got clouds in my eyes
It may come as scant surprise
I've got clouds in my eyes
I got clouds in my eyes
I got clouds in my eyes
I got clouds
In my eyes

But Me
03:14
|
|||
I just don't know what I should be doing now
I don't know if I should hold his hand
I look in the garden
Out under a tree
The whole world's battle-hardened
But me
But Me
I look at the ocean
Stare out to the sea
The whole world's in motion
But me
But me
I just don't know what I should be saying now
I don't know if things are going to plan
I look in the garden
Out under a tree
The world's battle-hardened
But me
But me
I look at the ocean
Stare out to the sea
The whole world's in motion
But me
But me
But me
But me
But me

Stones
03:25
|

I throw these stones so politely
I these stones twice nightly
I wish I could throw these stones
Every day
I throw these stones so weakly
I throw these stones so meekly
I wish I could throw these stones away
Away
And I throw these stones
When I'm on my own
And I throw these stones
These stones
I throw these stones forever
I throw these stones but never
Let these stones fall to the floor
I throw these stones twice nightly
I throw them so politely
I wish I could throw these stones no more
No more
And I throw these stones
When I'm on my own
And I throw these stones
These stones
These stones won't break
No homes
These stones won't break
My bones
These Stones

I'm OK
04:31
|
|||
My friends all say
That I look so down
My friends all say
I wear a permanent frown
Then they all ask me
Is everything alright?
I just smile
And turn down the lights
But I thank you all
For the kind words you say
But I guess about things
In my own fucked up way
Cos I'm Ok
Live to fight another day
Despite what they say
Yeah, I'm OK
My friends all say
That I look so blue
Then they all ask me
Is there anything they can do?
Then they all ask me
Is everything fine?
I just smile
And drink my wine
But I thank you all
For the kind words you say
But I guess I'll just go about things
In my own fucked up way
Cos I'm Ok
I'll live to fight another day
Despite what they say
Yeah, I'm OK
Yeah, Im OK.

No Yeah
04:26
|
|||
I'm feeling so much better
But that's not really true
I'm feeling stronger
But, if only they all knew
I can not, I will not struggle for the air
And I say no, yeah
No, yeah
I will not, I can not fall into despair
I say no, yeah
No, yeah
I will tell you what you really need to hear:
No, Yeah
No, Yeah
I will tell you what you really want to hear:
No, Yeah
No, Yeah
I smile and take the blows
But no one gives a damn
No one really knows
There's a boy inside this man
I can not, I will not swallow the same air
And I say No, Yeah
No, Yeah
I will not, I can not fall into despair
And I say No,Yeah
No, Yeah
I will tell you what you really want to hear:
No, Yeah
No, Yeah
I will tell you what you really want to hear:
No, Yeah
No, Yeah
No Yeah
No Yeah
No Yeah
I say No Yeah
No no yeah I say
I will tell you what you really want to hear:
No, Yeah
No, Yeah
I will tell you what you really want to hear:
No, Yeah
No, Yeah

Falling
04:40
|
|||
Didn't sleep a single wink last night
Stared at the gap in the curtain
Trying hard not to think what's right
That all said
I know for certain
That I'm falling
Falling for you
Yes I'm falling
Falling for you
Went for a walk in the park this morning
Try to wash all my sad thoughts away
Went for a walk in the rain this morning
Practiced all the words that I've got to say
Cos I'm falling
Falling for you
Yes I'm falling
Falling for you
Head over heels
You know that it's true
Head over heels
You know that there's nothing
I can do
Head over heels
You know that it's true
I'm falling for you
Yes I'm falling
Falling for you
Head over heels
You know that it's true
Head over heels
You know that there's nothing
I can do
Head over heels
You know that it's true
I'm falling for you
Yes I'm falling
Falling for you
Yes I'm falling
Falling for you

Madison Avenue
03:36
|
|||
Reach for my paper
Try and find my pen
Open up my treasure box
Empty it once again
In Madison Avenue
There's a man don't care what I do
In Madison Avenue
It's where it all falls down
It's where it all falls down
Talk to my starling friends
And I stare at the world
I sit where this river bends
And I wonder what it's all worth
In Madison Avenue
There's a man don't care what I do
In Madison avenue
It's where it all falls down
It's where it all falls down
I hope it all burns down
I hope it all burns down
In Madison Avenue
There's a man don't care what I do
In Madison Avenue
I hope it all burns
down
