UNSUNG
Plans, all those intricate plans left like gloves on the railings, slipping through your hands,
Clouds, those impossible clouds are gathering now,
Soar like a love song that stutters,lifelong,unsung
Soar like a swallow that circles, lifelong,unsung
and it's all in your head, and it's all slipping through your hands
Soar like a love song that stutters all lifelong and life is your love song,unsung
Soar like a love song, yes life is your love song,unsung
BRITTLE HEART
Give me your brittle heart and your ashtray eyes,
I'll give you carpet burns and a slanted life
And all that power and all that passion can be our's tonight
Give me your brittle heart and I'll light a fire
I'll make an effigy from a lock of your hair
And all those cinders and all those embers can be ours to share
And I'll take them all on and force down their doors
And I'll take them all on and walk through their walls
And I'll take them all on and crawl to your door and crawl to your door
Give me your brittle heart and your orphan's eyes
I'll give you carpet burns and antiseptic skies
And all that power and all that passion can be ours tonight
And I'll come to you like a ship to the shore
Like a paper plane that falls to the floor
And I'll take them all on and crawl to your door and crawl to your door
Give me your brittle heart and I'll light a fire
CRASH ABOUT TO HAPPEN
Your face is armed with a sabotage of lipstick
You stumble round like a figure made of matchsticks
Step off of the brake, you're a crash about to happen
Step into the page, how you fascinate
Anaesthetised in a room of alterations
Politicised by the carvings and the blackbirds
Step off of the brake, you're a crash to happen
...And we stop, and we stare, and we wait for it to happen
They only want you when you're breaking up
Why do they only want you when you're cracking up?
Step off of the brake, you're a step away from falling
Step into the page, how you fascinate
...and we stop, and we stare, and we wait for it to happen
I COUNT THE TIMES
Let the game begin, I think I know where you've been
Wrapped in inky night as daybreak flashed in your eyes
When you tremble like the rose, still dressed in summer clothes, still suttering
There's patterns in your hair, the flowers faint when you're near
You don't understand me, I don't pretend to be clear
Do I tremble like the rose or do I follow where you ten steps behind
I count the times. I read the signs, I follow you ten steps behind
I draw the line,I countthe times you burned me
I count the times, I made a plan, I use the fingers of one hand
I draw the line, I count the times you burned me
Do I tremble like the rose or do I follow where you go still suffering?
On the fingers of one hand I can count the times it came to nothing
I count the times, I read the signs, I follow you ten steps behind
I draw the line, I count the times you burned me
And all the words I never said and all the things I never did
