Someone stole away your dreams
Someone stole away your hope it seems
And theres a place inside your head
Where all things, the things that have been said
Live out like a simple lie.
Things we live out like simpie lies
The yellow hours, the smell of urine, the long winter nights
The dead red rose as the dog eats the petal off the floor
Ugly girl, too much make up, no eyebrows no eyes
My lipstick runs around the rim of an empty glass
Empty heart
Its a bar of mixed empty hearts.

LYRICS
Cruel 16 magazines of promises your life seems like a strange dream
Cruel 21 the crazy parties throws gives you fear of what is to come
Cruel 36 alone in your room of tricks natures started her wicked tricks
Cruel 44 you start to ask is this all there is, could there be any more
More than this, is this all there is
You count the years, the stupid tears, regrets and crazy fears
In your eyes, 100 tales of who are and wanted to be, a crazy double vision of your doubt
Its so real, the doubt, the doubt you feel
All these women in a room, what do you have? The end is just the past. It's just the past.
Cruel 55 you tried to do as much as you could while your fantasy is alive
Cruel 62 your bodies become a well worked map for all the things you’e tried to do
Cruel 73 its clear to you, who you are and all the things you failed to be
Cruel 88 the cold white walls of the nursing home, hope reflect the wait
For is this all, all there is
After all these years and failed careers regrets and stupid fears
In your eyes 100 tears
Of who you are and wanted to be, cruel and crazy story of your doubt
It's so real, the doubt, the doubt you feel.
All these stories in a room, what do you have? The end is just our past.

LYRICS
It's terminal this case, the case that I’ve just stated.
I’m so tired, so tired I could just melt straight into you
Straight through to you
An invention for prevention
I promise to make things better
More shallow and desperate
Make spaces make connections
I hand across my chest
Two hours we lay on
Someone whose deep dark eyes show signs of devestation
Straight through to you.
An invention for prevention
I promise to make things better
More shallow and desperate.

I want to let go, let go of everything.
You make me feel, like I owe you something more
I don’t need your thanks or to feel indebt to you
Just a little closeness, just some simple closeness
I miss you so much, although I don’t really know you
I feel everything starting and ending
So watch me take cover, a new guide in my mind
Everything I do, doesn’t amount to much as such
I never wanted someone as much as you made me want you
You made me feel without giving me anything
So it broke down and I chose no one
There is always the void of others,
the dreamy void of others like you.
You robbed me of my courage with your silent respite
I lost any power I imagined I had
Id leave everything for you but I wish I already had
This monster of a woman, this monster is only a ghost
So here I stand before you, after all that’s been said
A whole lot of stories around in your head
The wealth of sad experience, jealousy and drive
Something so simple and human, how can it destroy us all

LYRICS
He may take her on the bonnet of his car.
She may make him come behind the counter bar.
Close my eyes, pretend it's me.
It will show me that there's nothing really left.
But it will still feel like the purest type of theft.
Close my eyes, optimism will be my disguise.
Sort of scared of what might be jealousy.
I understand now, that theres nothing left in this hick town for me.
There's nothing left, there's no one left, in this so called home, so called hometown.
Lost my desire to tell you all my stories.
For all you know, they could all be false glories.

Once Upon a Time

He is standing in a passive pose in the darkest room of my house
He held me so hard that i bruised for days
The Jacque Brel songs didnt make up for his loss
Once upon a time we touched each other dancing, first - despite the crazy riles we got to touch each other.
he has dark moods in the morning after a night of masturbative sex
The chilling expertise of the northern man
He spent so long pleasing women he's forgotten how to come
Once upon a time we touched each other dancing, first - despite the crazy riles we got to touch each other, first of all
He's so listless, standing along in the dark
Makes me listless, wondering if I left a mark

Your Smile Betrays You

LYRICS
Your smile betrays you, like some half moon
Your past describes you, open eyes, and an open heart
Your wife denied you, when you needed her the most
And your friends defy you, every smile, every word.
Your smile betrays you, as something special, someone strange
But your life describes you, as an ordinary man

Will It Ever Happen

LYRICS
The great loves of your life have left a void you've failed to fill
You've wondered the world and its dark parts
Now its time to go back to some other design
Will it Ever happen to me again?
From the first night alone with a lover to the last meaningful kiss
theres been many good times and real big smiles,
tears, regrets and promises now all gone.
Will it Ever happen to me again? Over, over and over again. It's over again.
You should have tasted it.
And I could have saved it.
And I could be savouring it now, instead of looking for something new.

Taste of Iron

Your eyes are closed but your hands are open
You use the alchohol to to clarity your vision
the bus drives out and the driver smiles at you
but you feel deep down its not the truth you've trusted this before
but now its back to tricking on the village streets
eyes as red as your last Bloody Mary
cash in your winnings at some cheap dark bar
no more secrets no more truth.
just a little drama, some blood on your teeth, the taste of iron
that comes with my dynamic sense of the truth
just a little drama, some blood on your teeth, the taste of iron
that comes with my dynamic sense of the truth, yeah, its the truth now i say, the taste of iron
you give me the truth in your tears
give me your health and your fears now
take it away and i'll go now
take it away and now....
