Don't Believe In Love
I wanna go to bed
With arms around me
But wake up on my own
Pretend that I'm still sleeping
'Til you go home
Oh I can't look at you this morning
I should probably have a sign
That says "Leave right now or quicker
You've overstayed your time"
If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is safe for me
When I don't believe in love
You're too close to me
That's why you have to leave
Maybe I slept peaceful on your shoulder
Your arm warm around my side
But it's different now, it's morning
And I can't face your smile
The second that I feel your safe hands
Reaching out for mine
I slip away and out of sight
You've overstayed your time
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is new for me
Nothing is warm for me
And nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is new for me
Nothing is warm for me
And nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love
What do you get from me?
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love
You're getting to close to me
That's why you have to leave
That's why you have to leave
If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is left for me
If I don't believe in love
You're too good for me
Quiet Times
You ask me where I'd go tonight
I'd go back to today last year
We knew how to make each other happy
and there was hope of everything
It's hard enough to feel the world as it is
And hold on anything
Without these quiet times, you've brought round here
I'm going to have to run away
I'm sure that I belong some other place
I've seen another side of all I've seen
It keeps me wondering where my family is
It's hard enough to see the world as it is
And hold on anything
Without these quiet times, coming round here
And I'll miss you
And I want you
I can't have you, even when you're here
I suppose I have to take you with me, broken mind
I'd rather leave you here
To forget everything you've seen and known
Erase every idea
If you walk up in the street
Hold my hand and smile
Well I won't be taken in
'Cause I know how it turns out
And it takes me back
To these quiet times, coming round here
And I'll miss you
And I want you
You're not coming back
And I need you
But I can't have you, even when you're here
And I'll miss you
And I want you
You're not coming back
And I need you
But I can't have you, even when you're here
Never Want To Say It's Love
I could put it down to being tired
Or coming home to an empty house
A passing moment, a little mad
No one around to stop me writing to you.
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I could apologize
And say tear it up
And put it down to the pills I've taken
Seeing my friends with their lives moved on
While I've been gently drifting
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today
As I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow
From then on it won't change
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
My home is home and I'm settled now
I've made it through the restless phase
I have no reason to get bored anymore
My friends are round and your name comes up
Asking if I ever heard from you
I'm keeping it quiet about those words to you
But I meant every word that I said
I stand by every word that I said
I never want to say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today as I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow
From then on it won't change
I never want to say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today
As I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow
From then on it won't change
I never want to say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I never want to say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I never want to say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
Grafton Street
No more trips to Grafton Street, no more going there
To see you lying still while we all come and go
No more watching sunsets that seems like summer's holding on
No more standing quietly at your window
No more driving down your road, wondering when you'll be home
And no more peace when they all leave
And leave us two alone
And time we always lose is finally found here with you
My love, I know we're losing but I will stand here by you
No more calling friends from the car saying I don't know
When I'll be there, but I'll do my best to come."
No more letting you warm my hands, no more trying to take it in
No more saying goodbye for the last time again
No more saying goodbye for the last time again
And time we always lose is finally found here with you
My love, I know you're leaving but I will stand here by you
No more trips to Grafton Street, no more going there
No more sitting up all night waiting for any word
Nothing's left that's safe here now nothing will bring you home
Nothing can bring us the peace we had in Grafton Street
It Comes And It Goes
Some days I want love
some days I don't
Sometimes I can feel it
Then suddenly it's gone
Somedays I can tell you the truth
And somedays I just don't
Only a change of mood, sun goes down
Someone says something too quick or too soon
A touch not made, one made to late
Armies of words cannot hope to contain
Then it comes and it goes
And I have no control
Somedays I can think clear
Somedays I won't
Sometimes I can feel it
And suddenly it's gone
Somedays I am strong
And some days my skin's broken and thin
It arrives when it feels
And it takes what it needs
And it leaves before I get to know
It's only a step away, moments
That armies of words cannot hope to contain
That it comes and it goes
And I can't make it hold
And there's nothing I own
And it breaks me when it goes
Somedays I want love
Somedays I don't
Sometimes I can feel it
And suddenly its gone
Somedays I can tell you the truth and
Somedays I just don't
Only a change of mood, drink comes out
Someone tells something too quick or too soon
A move not made, one made to late
Armies of words can not hope to contain
That it comes and it goes
And I can't seem to hold
And there's nothing I own
And it breaks me when it goes
Look No Further
I might have been a singer
Who sailed around the world
A gambler who wins millions
And spent it all on girls
I might have been a poet
Who walked upon the moon
A scientist who'd tell the world
I'd discovered something new
I might have loved a king
And been the one to end a war
A criminal who drinks champaign
And never could be caught
But among your books, among your clothes
Among the noise and fuss, I've let it go
I can't stop and catch my breath
And look no further for happiness
And I will not turn again
'Cause my heart has found its home
Everyone I'll never meet
And the friends I won't now make
The adventures that there could have been
And the risks I'll never take
but among your books and among your clothes
Among your noise and fuss, I've let it go
I can't stop and catch my breath
And look no further for happiness
And I will not turn again
'Cause my heart has found its home
Us 2 Little Gods
Walking home, burnt and red
Sticky thin, he said
Let us go, down in the woods
Can you be careful she said
Us 2 little gods with the world at our feet
Sticky thin, how you've grown they said
You'll never fit in your long white dress
When's he going to try and get a job
I'm just thankful for what we've got she said
Us 2 little gods with the world at our feet
Just this life, I need no other
Just this day, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill
Summer's here, early again
Let's take the kid and go and celebrate
And drinking beer, moon on the left
And there's the sun, hold my hand he said
Us 3 little gods, with the world at our feet
Just this day, I need no other
Just this life, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill
Just this life, I need no other
Just this night, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill
Just this life, I need no other
Just this day, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
I've had my fill
The Day Before The Day
Speeches won't be made today
Clocks will carry on
Flowers won't be left in parks
Work will still be done
People won't be dressed in black
Babies will be born
No flags will fly, the sun will rise
But we will know that you are gone
And you who love to love and believed we can never give enough
It wakes me every single night
Thinking through the day
Did you stop at any time?
Have doubts at any stage?
Were you calm or were you numb?
Or happy just to get it done?
I've lived my life without regret
Until today
And you who love to love and believed we can never give enough
I didn't get to say goodbye
The day before the day
Was trying to get to work on time
And that's why I turned away
And missed the most important thing
You ever tried to say
Oh I've lived my life without regret
Until today
And you who love to love and believed we can never give enough
And you who hoped that underneath
We all felt the same
That was until
The day before the day
The day before the day
Oh, the day before the day
Let's Do The Things We Normally Do
Let's pretend that we'll be here tomorrow
And I'll try for you to be a little more on time
I know you need to say you know you've let me down
But you haven't and it's hard to talk with people all around
Please don't say how proud you are
Let's do the things we normally do
I'll say see you later, you'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to
Let's forget that we're here and make some plans
We'll go for walks, sit together on the bench we always sat
I'll tell you every little detail of my day and so will you
But don't try to stay awake, I'm feeling tired too
This is just another day
Let's do the things we normally do
I'll say see you later, you'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to
Armoured cars and tanks and guns
came to take away our sons
Everybody stood behind the man behind the wire
There's a fight to love, a fight to have
Your bed's a battlefield and back
But all of this will just be stripped away
Let's do the things we normally do
I'll say see you later, you'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to
Don't look me in the eye more than you need to
Don't try to say goodbye if I dont want to
Now say, a pray...
Burnin Love
I've found no peace
In the lies that I've told
I'm only hurt
By the blows that get withheld
The sharper I get cut
The harder I get held
The more that I believe
You will come to me
Without you I've been burnin' love
You're the one that I've been calling for
Without you I've been burnin' love
You're the one that I've been calling for
I've found no peace
In the lies that I've told
I'm only hurt
By the blows that get withheld
The sharper I get cut
The harder I get held
The more that I believe
That you will come to me
Without you I've been burnin' love
You're the one that I've been calling for
Without you I've been burnin' love
You're the one that I've been calling for
'out you I've been burnin' love
You're the one that I've been calling for
Without you I've been burnin' love
You're the one that I've been calling for
Without you I've been burnin' love
You're the one that I've been calling for
Northern Skies
I have returned to the northern skies
Where the summer hasn't touched
The clouds that pass above
I have returned to the somber greys
Of days too early to come
and too hurried to stay
I have left a million stars
And an ocean light and clearly blue
I have left the warmth of the sun
And a million adventures
not yet begun
For once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
I saw trees as green
And this dark as blue
Heartbreak and poetry
With deeper roots
But now I know
This is lonely country
And it leads me only back to the sea
For once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
under the wide northern skies x2
