I think the whole world should look good
That's important to me
Everyone should look good
And when they die they should die with their boots on
And their hearts on fire
When I die they'll cry
I'll have candy and chocolate whirls
And party gowns framing bonny girls
Will carry me off to Disneyworld
I think the whole world should be funny
Thats important to me
If you can't be funny don't be ugly
When they speak they should speak with their hands firmly on their hearts
When I die they'll cry
I'll have candy and chocolate whirls
And party gowns framing bonny girls
Will carry me off to Disneyworld
I like to see people happy
Singing on the way to work
Children and animals happy
When they laugh they should laugh like us
Not like other creatures do
When I die they'll cry
I'll have candy and chocolate whirls
And party gowns framing bonny girls
Will carry me off to Disneyworld
Ronnie Spector lyrics - Deacon Blue
I take off my glasses and I pull on my shirt
I call up my friends on my long, long list
I said I've got a reason just to get to the coast
I'll stand on the streets where all the books were wrote
I remember words
That ran around my head
And made no sense at all
And rained right off my tongue
Like mother, love and Ronnie Spector
I'm in an old Humber
That takes a long, long road
And remembering the smell
Of summer on the parcel shelf
And opening up the quarter light
And holding out a scythe
That levels out the landscape
As a car, car travels
I remember words
That ran around my head
and made no sense at all
And rained right off my tongue
Like mother, love and Ronnie Spector
If these things don't get me
Then walking in the rain will.
I call up my friends on my long, long list
I said I've got a reason just to get to the coast
I'll stand on the streets where all the books were wrote
I remember words
That ran around my head
And made no sense at all
And rained right off my tongue
Like mother, love and Ronnie Spector
I'm in an old Humber
That takes a long, long road
And remembering the smell
Of summer on the parcel shelf
And opening up the quarter light
And holding out a scythe
That levels out the landscape
As a car, car travels
I remember words
That ran around my head
and made no sense at all
And rained right off my tongue
Like mother, love and Ronnie Spector
If these things don't get me
Then walking in the rain will.
My America lyrics - Deacon Blue
Church bells go ringing for you and I
This bright sky is singing for you and I
All the land goes laughing into that glad goodbye
All the land goes laughing into that glad goodbye
Oh my America my new found land
Oh my America my new found land
Church bells go ringing and strangers cry
People keep bring their sad,sad smiles
Time wont even listen to why we had to lie
Time wont even listen to why we had to lie
Oh my America my new found land
Oh my America my new found land
Listen to the wave crash
Listen to the wave on the wide sound
She's far and she's wide and she's one small step away
She's far and she's wide and she's one small step away
Church bells keep ringing for you and I
We rush,we live,we laugh for some time night
These green fields and roads go rolling in your eye
These green fields and roads go back and back and back
Oh my America my new found land
Oh my America my new found land
Church bells go ringing for you and I
This bright sky is singing for you and I
All the land goes laughing into that glad goodbye
All the land goes laughing into that glad goodbye
Oh my America my new found land
Oh my America my new found land
This bright sky is singing for you and I
All the land goes laughing into that glad goodbye
All the land goes laughing into that glad goodbye
Oh my America my new found land
Oh my America my new found land
Church bells go ringing and strangers cry
People keep bring their sad,sad smiles
Time wont even listen to why we had to lie
Time wont even listen to why we had to lie
Oh my America my new found land
Oh my America my new found land
Listen to the wave crash
Listen to the wave on the wide sound
She's far and she's wide and she's one small step away
She's far and she's wide and she's one small step away
Church bells keep ringing for you and I
We rush,we live,we laugh for some time night
These green fields and roads go rolling in your eye
These green fields and roads go back and back and back
Oh my America my new found land
Oh my America my new found land
Church bells go ringing for you and I
This bright sky is singing for you and I
All the land goes laughing into that glad goodbye
All the land goes laughing into that glad goodbye
Oh my America my new found land
Oh my America my new found land
S.H.A.R.O.N. lyrics - Deacon Blue
The first thing Sharon I ever learned
Never trust a man with confidence again
The next thing Sharon I'd over heard
The fact he's seeing you again is no coincidence
Cos' Sharon he wants you
And I know he lied
When he says he wants you to be his bride
There's no telling you Sharon cos' god knows I've tried
And what hurts me Sharon, You don't know why, You don't know why
S.H.A.R.O.N.
S.H.A.R.O.N.
Yeah its winter now but it was summer then
The next thing Sharon between you and me
Is for you to see and me to believe
Cos' somehow its harder when your far away
Knowing your happy in your own particular way
Cos' Sharon he wants you
And I know he lied
When he says he wants you to be his bride
There's no telling you Sharon cos' god knows I've tried
And what hurts me Sharon, You don't know why, You don't know why

And its winter now but it was summer then
S.H.A.R.O.N.

And Again, And Again, And Again, And Again
The last thing Sharon I ever wanted was leave you
Broken and permanently haunted
The last thing Sharon I ever wanted was leave you
Broken and permanently haunted
S.H.A.R.O.N.
The last thing Sharon I ever wanted was leave you
Broken and permanently haunted
Sharon
Lets go tonight
Never trust a man with confidence again

Undeveloped Heart lyrics - Deacon Blue
My friend David told me
My heart beats like a dream
Down there at the railway station
The lights are turning green
That little black-robed Franciscan priest struts down the Lugarno
Tips his hat at all the North Americans
And dreams the dream of the Argonauts
We know the truth ofthe undeveloped heart
Poplars on the Seine and Sunset Boulevard
The noise that can drive a love asunder
Sometimes your dreams can leave you under
We go climbing down myriad flights of stairs
Blowing off heat and dust
Stretch our romantic souls to cover the wanderlust
At midnight in some strange city black-burned and medieval
We shiver inside our paper thin raincoats
At the silence that knows no evil
My heart beats like a dream
Down there at the railway station
The lights are turning green
That little black-robed Franciscan priest struts down the Lugarno
Tips his hat at all the North Americans
And dreams the dream of the Argonauts
We know the truth ofthe undeveloped heart
Poplars on the Seine and Sunset Boulevard
The noise that can drive a love asunder
Sometimes your dreams can leave you under
We go climbing down myriad flights of stairs
Blowing off heat and dust
Stretch our romantic souls to cover the wanderlust
At midnight in some strange city black-burned and medieval
We shiver inside our paper thin raincoats
At the silence that knows no evil
Souvenirs lyrics - Deacon Blue
Only one song to sing now
As you bring in these home chores
And curtain over windows
Dry your eyes on wornout clothes
You sing - I'm such a fool for loving you
So low I might not hear it
And the souvenirs they cover you
From the danger of believing it
Things that made our world seem good
Are stored in photo spiral pads
And every one is saved by you
To make our world seem glad
As you bring in these home chores
And curtain over windows
Dry your eyes on wornout clothes
You sing - I'm such a fool for loving you
So low I might not hear it
And the souvenirs they cover you
From the danger of believing it
Things that made our world seem good
Are stored in photo spiral pads
And every one is saved by you
To make our world seem glad
Down In The Flood lyrics - Deacon Blue
Hard to be happy in your home town
Hard to be happy when the sun goes down
Hard to be happy when you're down, down, down
Walk to the river
And the river dont stop
Try to cling on
To the hands on the clock
The clock keep turning
And the river keeps rolling
And the man from the ministry said
People keep drowning ain‘t that sad
Hard to be happy in your home town
Hard to be happy when the sun goes down
Hard to be happy in your home town
Hard to be happy when you're down, down, down
In the flood
Joseph was a walking
Down by the shore
Mary was a talking
'Cause the weights getting more
People are just floating
Driven bythe wind
Getting pulled down
By the western swim
I need some rope and some high mountain
And some wheels of fire to leave this hurricane
I need some ground and some real good friend
And some God-blest-hope to hit the land again
Hard to be happy when the sun goes down
Hard to be happy when you're down, down, down
Walk to the river
And the river dont stop
Try to cling on
To the hands on the clock
The clock keep turning
And the river keeps rolling
And the man from the ministry said
People keep drowning ain‘t that sad
Hard to be happy in your home town
Hard to be happy when the sun goes down
Hard to be happy in your home town
Hard to be happy when you're down, down, down
In the flood
Joseph was a walking
Down by the shore
Mary was a talking
'Cause the weights getting more
People are just floating
Driven bythe wind
Getting pulled down
By the western swim
I need some rope and some high mountain
And some wheels of fire to leave this hurricane
I need some ground and some real good friend
And some God-blest-hope to hit the land again
Back Here In Beanoland lyrics - Deacon Blue
Every day they write the headlines
Talking diamonds talking steel
Don't talk things that, folk don't know
Talk about money and stuff thats real
Back here in beanoland the bubble is bursting
All things get busted, some things get builded
Old ladies write letters old men dream memories
Back here in beanoland all things are real
Everyday my neighbor drives
For the company from the south
Tells the stories of how things are there
Talks about their life talks about ours
Back here in beanoland the bubble is bursting
All things get busted, some things get builded
Old ladies write letters old men dream memories
Back here in beanoland all things are real
I've trying to find a reason
I've been trying to leave this house
Everyday they cross that great bridge
And watch those trains pull in and out
Those trains, those trains, those trains
Yeah, those trains, those trains
Back here in beanoland the bubble is bursting
All things get busted, some things get builded
Old ladies write letters old men dream memories
Back here in beanoland all things are real
All things are real
Talking diamonds talking steel
Don't talk things that, folk don't know
Talk about money and stuff thats real
Back here in beanoland the bubble is bursting
All things get busted, some things get builded
Old ladies write letters old men dream memories
Back here in beanoland all things are real
Everyday my neighbor drives
For the company from the south
Tells the stories of how things are there
Talks about their life talks about ours
Back here in beanoland the bubble is bursting
All things get busted, some things get builded
Old ladies write letters old men dream memories
Back here in beanoland all things are real
I've trying to find a reason
I've been trying to leave this house
Everyday they cross that great bridge
And watch those trains pull in and out
Those trains, those trains, those trains
Yeah, those trains, those trains
Back here in beanoland the bubble is bursting
All things get busted, some things get builded
Old ladies write letters old men dream memories
Back here in beanoland all things are real
All things are real
Love You Say lyrics - Deacon Blue
So it's May and you're standing here for a day
Till the weather changes it always changes
There you go now with an icecream down the beach
Running sand through your fingers standing miles out of reach
You talk, you don't do
I've got to live in this place you're just passing through
Love you say love you say
I'm going to do these things today
Now it's autumn and it's getting cold and dark
I'm still sitting but you keep on moving past
I'm not the first so let me be the last
Let me be somewhere where I matter
Till the weather changes it always changes
There you go now with an icecream down the beach
Running sand through your fingers standing miles out of reach
You talk, you don't do
I've got to live in this place you're just passing through
Love you say love you say
I'm going to do these things today
Now it's autumn and it's getting cold and dark
I'm still sitting but you keep on moving past
I'm not the first so let me be the last
Let me be somewhere where I matter
Let Your Hearts Be Troubled lyrics - Deacon Blue
Let your hearts be troubled
Sleep not too soft
Know your griefs have friends
Be still let grow your anger
Today will soon be here again
Tomorrow may take longer
Once upon a time a palace there was
And it was in winter
Oh the dark was bitter
Men came that day to see a prince
To ask him for some sunlight
Well the prince called his toy soldiers out
Can't you hear the guns
See men falling low
Their eyes like tunnels where they fell
Through those tunnels we must go
Three men, Gordon, Budowski and Pitoku
Wanted to meet, but, what could they do?
For Japan, Jamaica and Poland you see
Are far, far apart way over the sea
So here's what they did, they got themselves dead
One by gun, one by rope, one by losing his head
And that's how they met
But wasn't that silly?
We learn from the story that freedom is falling
Sleep not too soft
Know your griefs have friends
Be still let grow your anger
Today will soon be here again
Tomorrow may take longer
Once upon a time a palace there was
And it was in winter
Oh the dark was bitter
Men came that day to see a prince
To ask him for some sunlight
Well the prince called his toy soldiers out
Can't you hear the guns
See men falling low
Their eyes like tunnels where they fell
Through those tunnels we must go
Three men, Gordon, Budowski and Pitoku
Wanted to meet, but, what could they do?
For Japan, Jamaica and Poland you see
Are far, far apart way over the sea
So here's what they did, they got themselves dead
One by gun, one by rope, one by losing his head
And that's how they met
But wasn't that silly?
We learn from the story that freedom is falling
Gentle Teardrops lyrics - Deacon Blue
There was ice and broken pavements on the hill tower
And the light was falling from the infirmary
And the last of the dogs was barking
At the steps from gentle teardrops and me
And I asked about her sister and her mother
And her uncle Tom serving on the sea
And her grampa's gammy leg that kept him in his bed
And kept out gentle teardrops and me
And its a long way to keep up conversation
When your broken up over fish 'n' chips and peas
And the grease is on your arm
Like a girl you've never worn
Walking home gentle teardrops and me
It's a cold cold night..Its a cold cold night
And I wont forget September is your birthday
And the prisons been paid up for fifteen weeks
And I'll send it through to ease
You can take it as you please
With love the gentle teardrops from me
With love the gentle teardrops ...from...me
yes we're rolling home...Ahh we're rolling home
With gentle teardrops...Ahh we're rolling home
With gentle teardrops
And the light was falling from the infirmary
And the last of the dogs was barking
At the steps from gentle teardrops and me
And I asked about her sister and her mother
And her uncle Tom serving on the sea
And her grampa's gammy leg that kept him in his bed
And kept out gentle teardrops and me
And its a long way to keep up conversation
When your broken up over fish 'n' chips and peas
And the grease is on your arm
Like a girl you've never worn
Walking home gentle teardrops and me
It's a cold cold night..Its a cold cold night
And I wont forget September is your birthday
And the prisons been paid up for fifteen weeks
And I'll send it through to ease
You can take it as you please
With love the gentle teardrops from me
With love the gentle teardrops ...from...me
yes we're rolling home...Ahh we're rolling home
With gentle teardrops...Ahh we're rolling home
With gentle teardrops
Little Lincoln lyrics - Deacon Blue
In this country dreams don't sleep
Hands stay open wide as the streets in your pocket
Under your shoes these golden roads
keep telling you
Find out fast, Find out hard, Your little Lincoln, Little Ford
Want to walk tall
As the buildings go mountain tops of Colorado
You're rolling faster than the big cars go
Big cars hit hard and knock you low
Find out fast, Find out hard, Your little Lincoln, Little Ford
Men talk loud
What they can ill afford little Lincoln yeah little Ford
The whole world sleeps and baby you drive
Taking the ocean in your stride never crosses your mind
That wheel keep turning lights keep falling
White walled tyres keep burning
Find out fast, Find out hard, Your little Lincoln, Little Ford
Find out fast, What the can ill afford, Little Lincoln, Little Ford
Find out fast, Find out hard, Your little Lincoln, Little Ford
Hands stay open wide as the streets in your pocket
Under your shoes these golden roads
keep telling you
Find out fast, Find out hard, Your little Lincoln, Little Ford
Want to walk tall
As the buildings go mountain tops of Colorado
You're rolling faster than the big cars go
Big cars hit hard and knock you low
Find out fast, Find out hard, Your little Lincoln, Little Ford
Men talk loud
What they can ill afford little Lincoln yeah little Ford
The whole world sleeps and baby you drive
Taking the ocean in your stride never crosses your mind
That wheel keep turning lights keep falling
White walled tyres keep burning
Find out fast, Find out hard, Your little Lincoln, Little Ford
Find out fast, What the can ill afford, Little Lincoln, Little Ford
Find out fast, Find out hard, Your little Lincoln, Little Ford
That Country (Beneath Your Skin) lyrics - Deacon Blue
The wars still on
Little angel, little angel
You're safe in that city
little angel, little angel
And I'm out here pumping tyres
Naming books I've never read
Naming scenes I've never seen
Naming this drink and this bread
And it's taken me some time now but I've got here
Smuggling hope and smuggling dope just to talk here
In this place God gave a name to, God named you
What are we gonna do now that we've found it?
The name's still good
Little angel, little angel
It still seems good
Call her angel, call her angel
And I'm out here finding rules
And does that make it right?
If you can't find a sin to name it by?
If you cant find a law to hang it on?
That country beneath your skin
Little angel, little angel
You're safe in that city
little angel, little angel
And I'm out here pumping tyres
Naming books I've never read
Naming scenes I've never seen
Naming this drink and this bread
And it's taken me some time now but I've got here
Smuggling hope and smuggling dope just to talk here
In this place God gave a name to, God named you
What are we gonna do now that we've found it?
The name's still good
Little angel, little angel
It still seems good
Call her angel, call her angel
And I'm out here finding rules
And does that make it right?
If you can't find a sin to name it by?
If you cant find a law to hang it on?
That country beneath your skin
Las Vegas lyrics - Deacon Blue
You call me central
You call me anything
That seems unbreakable
You call me "Love Will Bring"
These tender moments,
You know the difference
Between what love can buy
And love can win
You break your way into my heart
Las Vegas
Las Vegas
You break your way into my heart
I dont do what I'm told
And yet I'm good as gold
You say you treasure me
But you want me to be free
How can I travel far
As your lone fixed star
Am I within your means
As a town in your dreams?
You want to reach me
When I'm in
You want to play
You want to win
You want to visit
Sing, sing, sing
This is no place for
A poor girl like me
You call me anything
That seems unbreakable
You call me "Love Will Bring"
These tender moments,
You know the difference
Between what love can buy
And love can win
You break your way into my heart
Las Vegas
Las Vegas
You break your way into my heart
I dont do what I'm told
And yet I'm good as gold
You say you treasure me
But you want me to be free
How can I travel far
As your lone fixed star
Am I within your means
As a town in your dreams?
You want to reach me
When I'm in
You want to play
You want to win
You want to visit
Sing, sing, sing
This is no place for
A poor girl like me
Killing The Blues lyrics - Deacon Blue
I was counting the blues like a rhythm machine
Making a list of bad places that I'd ever been
Bad women who sold me bad friends who told me
Fat times that withered too lean
The whisky was sour, the music was stale
Love was a joke and freedom was a jail
It seemed the next bar was a distance too far
I looked up and you were my bail
Ray-gun smile won't you stay for a while
Feels like you'll always be news
It looks like your face is the only good news
Stay with me your killing the blues
I've got no car outside and no house in the hills
The keys to no kingdom and no magic cure
There's nothing more real than the way I feel
Whatever you find here is yours
Well there's only one place that we have to go
And lonely is all that we've got to lose
Out there its bad weather lets stay close together
Well stay with me your killing the blues
Stay with me your killing the blues
Whatever you've got I can use
Whatever you’re saying the game is, I'm playing
Stay with me your killing the blues
Making a list of bad places that I'd ever been
Bad women who sold me bad friends who told me
Fat times that withered too lean
The whisky was sour, the music was stale
Love was a joke and freedom was a jail
It seemed the next bar was a distance too far
I looked up and you were my bail
Ray-gun smile won't you stay for a while
Feels like you'll always be news
It looks like your face is the only good news
Stay with me your killing the blues
I've got no car outside and no house in the hills
The keys to no kingdom and no magic cure
There's nothing more real than the way I feel
Whatever you find here is yours
Well there's only one place that we have to go
And lonely is all that we've got to lose
Out there its bad weather lets stay close together
Well stay with me your killing the blues
Stay with me your killing the blues
Whatever you've got I can use
Whatever you’re saying the game is, I'm playing
Stay with me your killing the blues
Long Window To Love lyrics - Deacon Blue
You're taking down the signs
Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming
You're turning down the lights
In this cruel light symbols mean nothing
You're taking down the signs
Turning round your eyes
From dreams that seem so bright
Flying hope like kites
Hold loved ones tight
And turning to the light of that long window to love
And you forget about the years
About the planting and the dying and the growing
And you forget about your cares
But you remember that they've been forgotten
By the people sent to London
They're taking down your cares
Drinking off your tears
Gambling on your fears
For things that cost so dear
And won't be paid for years
Hoping you won't stare down that long window to love
They'd burgle all your sanity if it would let them hold you under
They'd knock on your door so hard the frame would crack under the strain
Its just the same, just the same, it's just the same, just the same
You're taking down the signs
Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming
You're turning down the lights
In this cruel light symbols mean nothing
You're taking down the signs
Turning round your eyes
From dreams that seem so bright
Flying hope like kites
Hold loved ones tight
And turning to the light of that long window to love
Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming
You're turning down the lights
In this cruel light symbols mean nothing
You're taking down the signs
Turning round your eyes
From dreams that seem so bright
Flying hope like kites
Hold loved ones tight
And turning to the light of that long window to love
And you forget about the years
About the planting and the dying and the growing
And you forget about your cares
But you remember that they've been forgotten
By the people sent to London
They're taking down your cares
Drinking off your tears
Gambling on your fears
For things that cost so dear
And won't be paid for years
Hoping you won't stare down that long window to love
They'd burgle all your sanity if it would let them hold you under
They'd knock on your door so hard the frame would crack under the strain
Its just the same, just the same, it's just the same, just the same
You're taking down the signs
Now the time has come and the cleansing's coming
You're turning down the lights
In this cruel light symbols mean nothing
You're taking down the signs
Turning round your eyes
From dreams that seem so bright
Flying hope like kites
Hold loved ones tight
And turning to the light of that long window to love
Christine lyrics - Deacon Blue
They're laughing now down at the turnstiles
They wrote you off more than twice
Cause your step and your style fooled them
You're really twice the size
And you saw them taking your picture
Taking shots of you and me
But I hope they'll like this message
Though they caught us we're still free
Ooh Christine your name was perfect
Ooh Christine, God only knows it
Well I'm going to drive you north now
Drive you nearer to me
I want the light in your eye girl
To shine and shine and still be free
Free, free, free, free
Once chance look, you might be gone
But I want you still free
They wrote you off more than twice
Cause your step and your style fooled them
You're really twice the size
And you saw them taking your picture
Taking shots of you and me
But I hope they'll like this message
Though they caught us we're still free
Ooh Christine your name was perfect
Ooh Christine, God only knows it
Well I'm going to drive you north now
Drive you nearer to me
I want the light in your eye girl
To shine and shine and still be free
Free, free, free, free
Once chance look, you might be gone
But I want you still free
Take Me To The Place lyrics - Deacon Blue
Take me to the place where your heart hurts most
Lead me through the dark world gates down there
Where all the ghosts of sorrow and pain
And fear and despair stay hiding
And we'll walk right through to our own way, our own place
There's a beach that I walk so long and so broad
Oceans away miles longer than pain
In my glad dreams, I take you there, and it's easy
Because the work and the hours
And the pay are far behind our sure steps
My heart longs to be next to you
My heart want's to be there, be there with you
Where it's warm and tender and mercy flows like a river
And there you stand with your wide open hands
And say abide with me
Lead me through the dark world gates down there
Where all the ghosts of sorrow and pain
And fear and despair stay hiding
And we'll walk right through to our own way, our own place
There's a beach that I walk so long and so broad
Oceans away miles longer than pain
In my glad dreams, I take you there, and it's easy
Because the work and the hours
And the pay are far behind our sure steps
My heart longs to be next to you
My heart want's to be there, be there with you
Where it's warm and tender and mercy flows like a river
And there you stand with your wide open hands
And say abide with me
Don't Let The Teardrops Start lyrics - Deacon Blue
Tomorrows a holiday and we will be high all day
Singing and playing shows and going as far as the country bus goes
And the bands will be swinging as high as the swing boat goes
And the trees will be swaying and the boats will be heading out to the sea
Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near
Cos' all the friends are departing the night skies are parting
Late drinkers are singing their way home and the tower bell is ringing over the [?]
Seems like the country is smiling the good times returning
Don't let your eyes start clouding and your old songs start bringing you down again
Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near
Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near
Singing and playing shows and going as far as the country bus goes
And the bands will be swinging as high as the swing boat goes
And the trees will be swaying and the boats will be heading out to the sea
Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near
Cos' all the friends are departing the night skies are parting
Late drinkers are singing their way home and the tower bell is ringing over the [?]
Seems like the country is smiling the good times returning
Don't let your eyes start clouding and your old songs start bringing you down again
Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near
Hey don't let the teardrops start for all of the times you've had
Go now and rest your weary heart
Tomorrow is near
I'll Never Fall In Love Again lyrics - Deacon Blue
What do you get when you fall in love
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
Thats what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do she'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what its all about
Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains,those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love
Nothing but pain, lies and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
Thats what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do she'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what its all about
Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains,those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love
Nothing but pain, lies and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love
What do you get when you fall in love
I'll never fall in love
The Look Of Love lyrics - Deacon Blue
The look of love
Is in your eye
The look your smile can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it, takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love
Upon your face
The look that time can't erase
Your mine tonight
Could this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Lets take a lovers vow and then
Seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got that look
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
Baby don't go
Baby don't go
Don't ever go
I love you
Baby please don't go
Is in your eye
The look your smile can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it, takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love
Upon your face
The look that time can't erase
Your mine tonight
Could this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Lets take a lovers vow and then
Seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got that look
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
Baby don't go
Baby don't go
Don't ever go
I love you
Baby please don't go
Are You There (With Another Girl) lyrics - Deacon Blue
(originally by Dionne Warwick)
I hear the music coming out of the radio
Are you there with another girl
Instead of me
I hear your laughter and theres something I've got to know
Are you there with another girl
Instead of me
I'm standing on your doorstep and I don't know what to do
Should I ring your door bell or just walk away
My friends all say you were never true
(hiding in the shadows)
I see two silhouettes at the back of your window shield
Are you there with another girl
When I am gone
I can't believe you'd break the promises that you made
If your there with another girl I can't go on
I only know I love you I couldn't say why
So if theres another I don't want to know
If you should go I would surely die
Love requires faith I've got a lot of faith but
I hear the music coming out of your radio
I only know I love you I couldn't say why
So if theres another I don't want to know
If you should go I would surely die
You would never leave me hurt me or deceive me
I'm a fool to doubt you worry so about you
Love requires faith I've got a lot of faith but
I hear the music coming out of the radio
Hmmn yeah, I hear the music , coming out of your radio
The sweet sweet music
And your there with another girl
I hear the music
I don't wanna know
I hear the music coming out of the radio
Are you there with another girl
Instead of me
I hear your laughter and theres something I've got to know
Are you there with another girl
Instead of me
I'm standing on your doorstep and I don't know what to do
Should I ring your door bell or just walk away
My friends all say you were never true
(hiding in the shadows)
I see two silhouettes at the back of your window shield
Are you there with another girl
When I am gone
I can't believe you'd break the promises that you made
If your there with another girl I can't go on
I only know I love you I couldn't say why
So if theres another I don't want to know
If you should go I would surely die
Love requires faith I've got a lot of faith but
I hear the music coming out of your radio
I only know I love you I couldn't say why
So if theres another I don't want to know
If you should go I would surely die
You would never leave me hurt me or deceive me
I'm a fool to doubt you worry so about you
Love requires faith I've got a lot of faith but
I hear the music coming out of the radio
Hmmn yeah, I hear the music , coming out of your radio
The sweet sweet music
And your there with another girl
I hear the music
I don't wanna know

Queen Of The New Year lyrics - Deacon Blue
You're so young
And you know so much
Heaven help us all
From the tales you tell
You're so old
And innocent as hell
How I love your questions
You Queen of the New Year
Oh you're so young
And you know so much
And my mind's not made up
About the way forward
And now my heart
You know these things
My name for you
Is Queen of the New Year
All the stars in heaven go dim
To the lights on me and him
All the stars in heaven are proud
As the lights on us go out
Now I'm telling you this
In a difficult year
You know your mother
She gave me problems
What am I gonna do
With your honest heart
The champion of love
The Queen of the New Year
[CHORUS]
All the stars in heaven go dim
All the stars in heaven go dim
All the stars in heaven go dim
All the stars in heaven go dim
All the stars in heaven go dim
To the champion of love
The Queen of the New Year
And you know so much
Heaven help us all
From the tales you tell
You're so old
And innocent as hell
How I love your questions
You Queen of the New Year
Oh you're so young
And you know so much
And my mind's not made up
About the way forward
And now my heart
You know these things
My name for you
Is Queen of the New Year
All the stars in heaven go dim
To the lights on me and him
All the stars in heaven are proud
As the lights on us go out
Now I'm telling you this

The Queen of the New Year
Wages Day lyrics - Deacon Blue
There he stood and there we left
Outside the flashing neon sign
With the smell of cheap cigars
And the hope of sweet perfume
And his heart it was reeling
With the thrill of it all
All to do and only hours
He said all this is all yours
You can have it all
You can take it all away
From where we left off
Living it all
Your way
If you'll stand in my shoes
If you'll do what I do
On a wages day
On a wages day
And the cap from Disneyland
That his cousin she brought back
Stays open in his hand
From one week to another
And this long narrow land
Is full of possibility
All to do and only hours
He said all this is all yours
You can have it all
You can take it all away
From where we left off
Living it all
Your way
If you'll stand in my shoes
If you'll do what I do
On a wages day
On a wages day
And you can have it all
You can take it all away
From where we left off
Living it all
Your way
If you'll stand in my shoes
If you'll do what I do
On a wages day
On a wages day
On a wages day
On a wages day
On a wages day
On a wages day
If you'll do what I do
On a wages day
Outside the flashing neon sign
With the smell of cheap cigars
And the hope of sweet perfume
And his heart it was reeling
With the thrill of it all
All to do and only hours
He said all this is all yours
You can have it all
You can take it all away
From where we left off
Living it all
Your way
If you'll stand in my shoes
If you'll do what I do
On a wages day
On a wages day
And the cap from Disneyland
That his cousin she brought back
Stays open in his hand
From one week to another
And this long narrow land
Is full of possibility
All to do and only hours
He said all this is all yours
You can have it all
You can take it all away
From where we left off
Living it all
Your way
If you'll stand in my shoes
If you'll do what I do
On a wages day
On a wages day
And you can have it all
You can take it all away
From where we left off
Living it all
Your way
If you'll stand in my shoes
If you'll do what I do
On a wages day
On a wages day
On a wages day
On a wages day
On a wages day
On a wages day
If you'll do what I do
On a wages day
Real Gone Kid lyrics - Deacon Blue
Cause I'd tear out the pages
That I've got in these books
Just to find you some words
Just to get some reward
And I'll show you all the photographs
That I ever got took
And I'll play you old 45's
That now mean nothing to me
And you're a real gone kid
And maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
I'll do what I should have did
Now I've stood on your shadow
And I've watched it grow
And it's shaken and it's driven me
And let me know
Let me know let me know let me know
About all the old 45s
And the paperback rooms
And it's scattered all the photographs
Of summers and suns
And you're a real gone kid
And maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
I'll do what I should have did
'Cause you're a real

Love And Regret lyrics - Deacon Blue
Cold dawn won't comfort you
Cold coffee won't see you through
Cold sheets won't heal your heart
Your frozen fingers of your name so tarred
I know so rarely that things come your way
Your ways are tender and your paths are straight
Your mind's not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
Rings and letters they pass you by
You wish them well and seldom cry
For stones and promises and wedding sighs
You've known the times that you've lived and died
These sailors come by and spend time ashoe
Their thoughts are hoarded as yours have been stored
Your mind's not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
Outside in the morning air
I hear the soundtrack of the blues-harp player
It touches feelings that you don't arouse
Knocks me back to that shuttered house
Take me back when they're all out
Take me back to that shuttered house
I know so rarely that things come your way
Your ways are tender and your paths are straight
Your mind's not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
Love and regret
Cold coffee won't see you through
Cold sheets won't heal your heart
Your frozen fingers of your name so tarred
I know so rarely that things come your way
Your ways are tender and your paths are straight
Your mind's not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
Rings and letters they pass you by
You wish them well and seldom cry
For stones and promises and wedding sighs
You've known the times that you've lived and died
These sailors come by and spend time ashoe
Their thoughts are hoarded as yours have been stored
Your mind's not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
Outside in the morning air
I hear the soundtrack of the blues-harp player
It touches feelings that you don't arouse
Knocks me back to that shuttered house
Take me back when they're all out
Take me back to that shuttered house
I know so rarely that things come your way
Your ways are tender and your paths are straight
Your mind's not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
Love and regret
Circus Lights lyrics - Deacon Blue
You're tired and you say you're angry
You're thankful for this blessed rain
And you think you'd know
But your old friends have to tell you again
Your books taught you all you know
Your tastes and patterns and your TV shows
But you can never follow where they won't let you go
Sometimes it's so hard to know
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
Over these circus Christmas lights
Your cares your misanthropy
Your distant gaze is missing me
And your jewellery that's what blinded me
From the reality
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
Over these circus Christmas lights
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
Over these circus Christmas lights
Over the sea
Over the land and the city
You're thankful for this blessed rain
And you think you'd know
But your old friends have to tell you again
Your books taught you all you know
Your tastes and patterns and your TV shows
But you can never follow where they won't let you go
Sometimes it's so hard to know
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
Over these circus Christmas lights
Your cares your misanthropy
Your distant gaze is missing me
And your jewellery that's what blinded me
From the reality
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
Over these circus Christmas lights
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
Over these circus Christmas lights
Over the sea
Over the land and the city
This Changing Light lyrics - Deacon Blue
I wrote this once before
Long before the summer
You were then a student
And we were dark as angels
We were in the east
Working to the west
The west was looking south
And the south she had no pity
But last night I dreamed
And you were always in it
There were
Hopes and plans and schemes
And the town was full of winners
Oh brother
Oh sister
This changing light
Has lighted things so differently
Has lighted things so differently
I wrote this once before
And we were all then working
We thought we'd stop the flow
Of a cruel and heartless woman
If I'd known this then
What would these wings have done
They'd have beat and flapped and flown
And not done and not done
[CHORUS]
I wrote it on my hand
I kept it in the dark
I never ran it through my hair
I stuffed it in my pocket
I wrote this on a journey
All the way from Spain
Where our fellows fought
And never came back again
To this changing light
To this changing light
Long before the summer
You were then a student
And we were dark as angels
We were in the east
Working to the west
The west was looking south
And the south she had no pity
But last night I dreamed
And you were always in it
There were
Hopes and plans and schemes
And the town was full of winners
Oh brother
Oh sister
This changing light
Has lighted things so differently
Has lighted things so differently
I wrote this once before
And we were all then working
We thought we'd stop the flow
Of a cruel and heartless woman
If I'd known this then
What would these wings have done
They'd have beat and flapped and flown
And not done and not done
[CHORUS]
I wrote it on my hand
I kept it in the dark
I never ran it through my hair
I stuffed it in my pocket
I wrote this on a journey
All the way from Spain
Where our fellows fought
And never came back again
To this changing light
To this changing light
Sad Loved Girl lyrics - Deacon Blue
I'm not afraid to take the chances
Of this being wrong or this being right
The long cold wind of discontentment
Has driven me from this dark night
[CHORUS:]
She was
The sad loved girl of the neighbourhood
And he was
The man that put happy over good
He saw her trying on his old clothes
He watched her stretch
And pull and tear
He said you're impatient as the wind
Your laugh is strong
And right and scared
[CHORUS]
I've turned on all the lights in this small town
To the sisters and the daughters and the barking hounds
I know when to be good when its right to be good
So then why are all the towns folk not angry
[CHORUS]
Of this being wrong or this being right
The long cold wind of discontentment
Has driven me from this dark night
[CHORUS:]
She was
The sad loved girl of the neighbourhood
And he was
The man that put happy over good
He saw her trying on his old clothes
He watched her stretch
And pull and tear
He said you're impatient as the wind
Your laugh is strong
And right and scared
[CHORUS]
I've turned on all the lights in this small town
To the sisters and the daughters and the barking hounds
I know when to be good when its right to be good
So then why are all the towns folk not angry
[CHORUS]
Fergus Sings The Blues lyrics - Deacon Blue
Fergus sings the Blues
In bars of twelve or less
I'm a stranger
To the land
To this wilderness
All things are possible
But happen less and less
This is my country
These are my reasons
'Cause I look
In the mirror
And it throws
Back the question
And I whisper in words
That beg
An answer
Tell me
Can this white man sing the blues
Homesick James
My biggest influence
Tell me why
James and Bobby Purify
I'm lost in music
Sweet soul music
This is my country
These are my reasons
[CHORUS]
From the north coast
To the uplands
Stay on the left side of the white lines
From the Campsies
Over Christmas
I still dream of Memphis
[CHORUS]
I got the blue blue world
And I see The blue blue sky
I got the blue blue ocean
In my blue eye
So tell me can this white man sing the blues
In bars of twelve or less
I'm a stranger
To the land
To this wilderness
All things are possible
But happen less and less
This is my country
These are my reasons
'Cause I look
In the mirror
And it throws
Back the question
And I whisper in words
That beg
An answer
Tell me
Can this white man sing the blues
Homesick James
My biggest influence
Tell me why
James and Bobby Purify
I'm lost in music
Sweet soul music
This is my country
These are my reasons
[CHORUS]
From the north coast
To the uplands
Stay on the left side of the white lines
From the Campsies
Over Christmas
I still dream of Memphis
[CHORUS]
I got the blue blue world
And I see The blue blue sky
I got the blue blue ocean
In my blue eye
So tell me can this white man sing the blues
When The World Is Lit By Lightning lyrics - Deacon Blue
So maybe you're standing
In some foreign town
You've walked for miles
Till the heat slows you down
And your jeans and your curls
Are bleached
And split
And your money and your anger
Are all used up
Maybe I'm sorry
About the light in this place
Makes my heart seem cold
As the words on these pages
Maybe I'm reminded
By a shop window displays or a decoration
Like some church candle
That might just burn
Might just burn
'Cause we're dancing under chandeliers
And I'm telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I'm yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you
So you're ten miles out
Of this city at night
When do coloured lights
Become paint and glass and dust
And how I wonder
What light to trust
The light of the distance
Or the light might just burn
Might just burn
[CHORUS]
Seraphim and Cherubim
Skies full of gold dust
Moonshine and starlight
Pockets full of rainbows
Windows and mirrored balls
Porcelain and silverlake
Dance hall neons flash and swing
Blow out your candles
It will call you
Angel
When the world knows your name
[CHORUS]
In some foreign town
You've walked for miles
Till the heat slows you down
And your jeans and your curls
Are bleached
And split
And your money and your anger
Are all used up
Maybe I'm sorry
About the light in this place
Makes my heart seem cold
As the words on these pages
Maybe I'm reminded
By a shop window displays or a decoration
Like some church candle
That might just burn
Might just burn
'Cause we're dancing under chandeliers
And I'm telling you
Caught in the headlights
And I'm yelling it at you
Why is it girl
When the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
That I love you
So you're ten miles out
Of this city at night
When do coloured lights

And how I wonder

The light of the distance
Or the light might just burn
Might just burn

Silhouette lyrics - Deacon Blue
Down in the streets they're walking and kissing
All he sees is the lights in her her eyes
She feels his hand and smells his warm breath
Looking up all she sees is the night sky
He saw her standing there alone
She saw him walking the whole town behind him
He loved to whisper gently to her
She heard the whole world shouting and screaming
Oh since first we met
My dark sweet silhouette
Oh nothing nothing you forget
In your heart my dark my dark sweet silhouette
He told her everything he wanted her to know
She showed him the big picture
He gave her beads and clothes and promises
She gave him golden strings and things that don't break down
Oh since first we met
My dark sweet silhouette
Oh nothing nothing you forget
In your heart my dark my dark sweet silhouette
All she sees are the stars in the night sky
Looking down all he sees are the street lights in her eye
Oh since first we met
My dark sweet silhouette
Oh nothing nothing you forget
In your heart my dark my dark sweet silhouette
All he sees is the lights in her her eyes
She feels his hand and smells his warm breath
Looking up all she sees is the night sky
He saw her standing there alone
She saw him walking the whole town behind him
He loved to whisper gently to her
She heard the whole world shouting and screaming
Oh since first we met
My dark sweet silhouette
Oh nothing nothing you forget
In your heart my dark my dark sweet silhouette
He told her everything he wanted her to know
She showed him the big picture
He gave her beads and clothes and promises
She gave him golden strings and things that don't break down
Oh since first we met
My dark sweet silhouette
Oh nothing nothing you forget
In your heart my dark my dark sweet silhouette
All she sees are the stars in the night sky
Looking down all he sees are the street lights in her eye
Oh since first we met
My dark sweet silhouette
Oh nothing nothing you forget
In your heart my dark my dark sweet silhouette
One Hundred Things lyrics - Deacon Blue
Poorly
You're more than poorly Jimmy
More than that
Worse than that
This is a case of photographs
Smudged and dropped and laughed at
Here's some things that came in post
Letters never sent but wrote
Shelves of books not opened
Browsed in and bored you
Unlocked things that should have been fastened down
To be burned
To be burned Jimmy
To be gone forever
So you're
Down town raking bins
Through carry outs and skins
To find the hundred things that led you here
So you're
Down town raking bins
Through carry outs and skins
To find the hundred things that led you here
Long night walking hills
Scratched and cut
Bruised and hurt
With all your tension and your guilt
Stories of the beer and care and speed you spilled
Pleased at your speaking
Worried by the content
About this love and this land and this firmament
Forgotten how to dream
Started just to scream
Forgotten to return
To return Jimmy
To fight your way back
[CHORUS]
Tired
Well I'm tired too Jimmy
More than that
I'm angry at that
Well now that I'm finished
This small town world seems so much bigger
It didn't seem important then
Between jobs and flags and parliaments
But our small time world seems bigger
And maybe more worth fighting for
Maybe at the heart of things
They'll be clowns
And we'll be kings
[CHORUS]
You're more than poorly Jimmy
More than that
Worse than that
This is a case of photographs
Smudged and dropped and laughed at
Here's some things that came in post
Letters never sent but wrote
Shelves of books not opened
Browsed in and bored you
Unlocked things that should have been fastened down
To be burned
To be burned Jimmy
To be gone forever
So you're
Down town raking bins
Through carry outs and skins
To find the hundred things that led you here
So you're
Down town raking bins
Through carry outs and skins
To find the hundred things that led you here
Long night walking hills
Scratched and cut
Bruised and hurt
With all your tension and your guilt
Stories of the beer and care and speed you spilled
Pleased at your speaking
Worried by the content
About this love and this land and this firmament
Forgotten how to dream
Started just to scream
Forgotten to return
To return Jimmy
To fight your way back
[CHORUS]
Tired
Well I'm tired too Jimmy
More than that
I'm angry at that
Well now that I'm finished
This small town world seems so much bigger
It didn't seem important then
Between jobs and flags and parliaments
But our small time world seems bigger
And maybe more worth fighting for
Maybe at the heart of things
They'll be clowns
And we'll be kings

Your Constant Heart lyrics - Deacon Blue
Your constant heart beats like the road
It cuts through the rain and clears the snow
And in our summer we take it slow
Letting the wind die in the hollow
Your constant heart
Now that the leaves are strewn on your constant path
Your feet won't stumble from your chosen task
Like the light above and the earth so red
Your constant heart never leaves me guessing
Your constant heart
I'm still excited by the good good night you bring
The long loud song you sing and the boom-boom beat that rings
From your constant heart that's my defense
The rich man's judge the poor man's friend
Your constant heart
Like the sky so strong like the trees so blown
Like the earth so warm like the clouds so ripped and torn
Your constant your constant heart your constant heart
It cuts through the rain and clears the snow
And in our summer we take it slow
Letting the wind die in the hollow
Your constant heart
Now that the leaves are strewn on your constant path
Your feet won't stumble from your chosen task
Like the light above and the earth so red
Your constant heart never leaves me guessing
Your constant heart
I'm still excited by the good good night you bring
The long loud song you sing and the boom-boom beat that rings
From your constant heart that's my defense
The rich man's judge the poor man's friend
Your constant heart
Like the sky so strong like the trees so blown
Like the earth so warm like the clouds so ripped and torn
Your constant your constant heart your constant heart
Orphans lyrics - Deacon Blue
I now describe my country
As if to strangers
This train is full of songs
Of local winners
And the wind surrounds the towers
And the flags they are blowing
And the bunting and the distance
Stretches over our sound
And when he teases the children
He calls them orphans
And he cries for all the flowers
Of the forest
In his head there is no reason
To be sad about the garden
But his heart bleeds very often
For things forgotten like little orphans
As if to strangers
This train is full of songs
Of local winners
And the wind surrounds the towers
And the flags they are blowing
And the bunting and the distance
Stretches over our sound
And when he teases the children
He calls them orphans
And he cries for all the flowers
Of the forest
In his head there is no reason
To be sad about the garden
But his heart bleeds very often
For things forgotten like little orphans

Which Side Are You On? lyrics - Deacon Blue
(originally by Florence Reece)
Which side are you on?
(Which side?)
Which side are you on?
(Which side?)
Which side are you on?
(Which side?)
Which side are you on?
Come all of you good workers
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how that good old union
Has come in here to dwell
They say in Harlan County,
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J.H. Blair
Workers can you stand it
Tell me how you can
Will you be a union scab
Or will you be a man
Don't scab for the bosses
Don't listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven't got a chance
Unless we organize
Slow trains been coming
Since 1979
It's time us folk decided
Which side we are on
Which side are you on?
(Which side?)
Which side are you on?
(Which side?)
Which side are you on?
(Which side?)
Which side are you on?
Come all of you good workers
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how that good old union
Has come in here to dwell
They say in Harlan County,
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J.H. Blair
Workers can you stand it
Tell me how you can
Will you be a union scab
Or will you be a man
Don't scab for the bosses
Don't listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven't got a chance
Unless we organize
Slow trains been coming
Since 1979
It's time us folk decided
Which side we are on
Kings Of The Western World lyrics - Deacon Blue
I have an old friend
So the story goes
He never calls without saying hello
He's got a good job
So the story goes
He says it's it's funny to see you look so low
I said I'm on top of the hill
Looking down at the Kings of the Western World
I went out and caught the train home
Looked at the land so the story goes
They've got factories and jobs and playground provided
And the workers are willing so the story goes
But
I'm on top of the hill
Looking down at the Kings of the Western
World
The Western World
And people get born
So the story goes
And people get schooled
So the story goes
And people get on
So the story goes
And people get ruled
So the story goes
And people they die
So the story goes
And left on the hill
So the story goes
But
I'm on top of the hill
Looking down at the Kings of the Western
World
The Western World
I'm looking at the Kings
I'm looking at the world
I'm looking at the Kings
I'm looking at the
Kings
I'm looking at the
World
I'm looking at the
Kings
I'm looking at the
World
I'm looking at the

I went out and caught the train home
Looked at the land so the story goes
They've got factories and jobs and playground provided
And the workers are willing so the story goes
But

Looking down at the Kings of the Western

Just Like Boys lyrics - Deacon Blue
You bet you need protection
From the big love heartbeat
But this boys intentions
Don't count for nothing so sweet
Man he call it drama
And woman call it dream
Man he call it joy
its a woman's scream
Man he point the finger
And the family feel the nail
Man he call it home
its a womans jail
When you hear the big love heartbeat
Remember its an empty noise
We're just sucking you down sweet
Like you're only sugar toys
Aint that just like boys
Bobby wants to say
What Sally don't enjoy
Tommy wants to play
Like Angela's a toy
Georgie wants to kiss
Though he knows that Sharon's coy
And Ronnie wants to scam about
Things he can destroy
From the big love heartbeat
But this boys intentions
Don't count for nothing so sweet
Man he call it drama
And woman call it dream
Man he call it joy
its a woman's scream
Man he point the finger
And the family feel the nail
Man he call it home
its a womans jail
When you hear the big love heartbeat
Remember its an empty noise
We're just sucking you down sweet
Like you're only sugar toys
Aint that just like boys
Bobby wants to say
What Sally don't enjoy
Tommy wants to play
Like Angela's a toy
Georgie wants to kiss
Though he knows that Sharon's coy
And Ronnie wants to scam about
Things he can destroy
Riches lyrics - Deacon Blue
It's good to know how big a life can be
Especially when it falls away so easily
And how hard it is to let you take your leave
Also I wish you all the things
that you believe in
Like riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted like riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted
I wish all those things if you would leave
Bright clothes for winter
Bright clothes for winter
When you go on your journey
don't say goodbye
Don't need clothes to wear
Or money to buy
Don't take a bed to sleep in or sleeves to cry on
And don't go gently into that good night
And take riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted take riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted
I wish all those things if you would leave
Bright clothes for winter
Bright clothes for winter
You found a great big kingdom
And you gave it all away
And how I want live there
And how I hope you'll stay
And take riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted take riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted
I wish all those things if you would leave
Bright clothes for winter
Bright clothes for winter
Bright clothes for winter
Especially when it falls away so easily
And how hard it is to let you take your leave
Also I wish you all the things
that you believe in
Like riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted like riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted
I wish all those things if you would leave
Bright clothes for winter
Bright clothes for winter
When you go on your journey
don't say goodbye
Don't need clothes to wear
Or money to buy
Don't take a bed to sleep in or sleeves to cry on
And don't go gently into that good night
And take riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted take riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted
I wish all those things if you would leave
Bright clothes for winter
Bright clothes for winter
You found a great big kingdom
And you gave it all away
And how I want live there
And how I hope you'll stay
And take riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted take riches
Now that they're different
And work
With your burden lifted
I wish all those things if you would leave
Bright clothes for winter
Bright clothes for winter
Bright clothes for winter
Church lyrics - Deacon Blue
This town takes a lot of beating babe
It mostly comes from you
It takes a lot to crush it too
But you would try that too
This town takes a lot to make it cry
When you've seen the devil passing
It isn't only that you prophecy
But you make it happen
If it's important I'd like to know
Why not sing it out loud in your own
Ch-Ch-Church
I've heard that you loved him Bo
And that she loves you too
Whats wrong with flesh and blood
That makes your work seem so good
How come we're all here again
Railed and railed upon
Talking all this hullabaloo
Just cause you don't like something
When and if you've got something to say
Well sing it out loud in your own
Ch-Ch-Church
Whats all this talking about anyway...
It mostly comes from you
It takes a lot to crush it too
But you would try that too
This town takes a lot to make it cry
When you've seen the devil passing
It isn't only that you prophecy
But you make it happen
If it's important I'd like to know
Why not sing it out loud in your own
Ch-Ch-Church
I've heard that you loved him Bo
And that she loves you too
Whats wrong with flesh and blood
That makes your work seem so good
How come we're all here again
Railed and railed upon
Talking all this hullabaloo
Just cause you don't like something
When and if you've got something to say
Well sing it out loud in your own
Ch-Ch-Church
Whats all this talking about anyway...
Shifting Sand lyrics - Deacon Blue
Long blown strip of shifting sand
Where have your friends gone now the suns not holding hands
The fat man who strolled you
The children who broke you
The muscles that climbed on your strong tanned back
The women that were young on you
The ones that only swum off you
They're as fickle as the sun with you
Leaving me here blown about on you
Happy just to stay here
Tripped by the waste and the deck chairs
Teased by the wind and gulls in chase
Oh...long, blown
Where have your friends gone now the suns not holding hands
The fat man who strolled you
The children who broke you
The muscles that climbed on your strong tanned back
The women that were young on you
The ones that only swum off you
They're as fickle as the sun with you
Leaving me here blown about on you
Happy just to stay here
Tripped by the waste and the deck chairs
Teased by the wind and gulls in chase
Oh...long, blown
Suffering lyrics - Deacon Blue
The little shivers that you never get
The cold showers that don't leave you wet
Brazen boy you know we try to forget
About the hurt and blood all the useless sweat
But still you're suffering for everything that sounds like fun
You're suffering, what have you learned?
But still you're suffering for everything that sounds like fun
You're suffering, what have you learned?
You're still above the men of little faith
They love your jokes and your books and your rage
Cause they're still reading when you turn the page
They love the way we never guess your age
You're in the dungeon waiting for the wrath of the world
You're in the dungeon waiting for the wrath of the world
What have you learned?
What have you learned?
You wanted a big love, you wanted a big love
All you ever got was your suffering
The cold showers that don't leave you wet
Brazen boy you know we try to forget
About the hurt and blood all the useless sweat
But still you're suffering for everything that sounds like fun
You're suffering, what have you learned?
But still you're suffering for everything that sounds like fun
You're suffering, what have you learned?
You're still above the men of little faith
They love your jokes and your books and your rage
Cause they're still reading when you turn the page
They love the way we never guess your age
You're in the dungeon waiting for the wrath of the world
You're in the dungeon waiting for the wrath of the world
What have you learned?
What have you learned?
You wanted a big love, you wanted a big love
All you ever got was your suffering
Ribbones And Bows lyrics - Deacon Blue
She carries her burden like a burning flame
And it's hurting 'cause its never tamed
Not like her, she's not wild and free
And her walk don't break easily
She'll let it down once
She'll let it down twice
She'll let it all go
But everyone knows
It's just ribbons and bows
She takes her burden from where she takes her strength
No contradiction from within herself
Outside shes smiling, she don't believe
The lies that shes spinning
She don't know it's a sin
To let it down once
She'll let it down twice
She'll let it all go
But everyone knows
It's just ribbons and bows
So take your burden and let it down slow
Push your hair back let your face glow
Break your step from a forward march
And run free till those feelings pass
And let it down once
She'll let it down twice
She'll let it all go
But everyone knows
It's just ribbons and bows
And it's hurting 'cause its never tamed
Not like her, she's not wild and free
And her walk don't break easily
She'll let it down once
She'll let it down twice
She'll let it all go
But everyone knows
It's just ribbons and bows
She takes her burden from where she takes her strength
No contradiction from within herself
Outside shes smiling, she don't believe
The lies that shes spinning
She don't know it's a sin
To let it down once
She'll let it down twice
She'll let it all go
But everyone knows
It's just ribbons and bows
So take your burden and let it down slow
Push your hair back let your face glow
Break your step from a forward march
And run free till those feelings pass
And let it down once
She'll let it down twice
She'll let it all go
But everyone knows
It's just ribbons and bows
Born In A Storm lyrics - Deacon Blue
That hurricane day
Will soon pass away
And someone will sweep
All the jetsam back into the bay
And you'll come
Like you always did
And knock on my door
Like the big bad wind
Born in a storm
Is that the only excuse you can give
Born in a storm
Is that all you're going to live
Will soon pass away
And someone will sweep
All the jetsam back into the bay
And you'll come
Like you always did
And knock on my door
Like the big bad wind
Born in a storm
Is that the only excuse you can give
Born in a storm
Is that all you're going to live
Raintown lyrics - Deacon Blue
It's a rain-dirt-town-job hurts, but it don't pay
All these calls they're making me and driving you insane
Don't you see don't you understand
Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all I am
You're in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go
I'm down here working on some dumb show
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those days you're not around
It takes a big hearted girl from the north country you can tell
How you payed those bills and went through heaven and hell
And you you cried and you travelled and you spat but you never asked
Well how long how long how long is this pain
You're on for three minutes trying hard to say "hello"
I'm down here working on some dumb show
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those days you're not around
Sitting at home listening to your radio
Listening for your old friend talking on some dumb show
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those days you're not around
All these calls they're making me and driving you insane
Don't you see don't you understand
Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all I am
You're in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go
I'm down here working on some dumb show
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those days you're not around
It takes a big hearted girl from the north country you can tell
How you payed those bills and went through heaven and hell
And you you cried and you travelled and you spat but you never asked
Well how long how long how long is this pain
You're on for three minutes trying hard to say "hello"
I'm down here working on some dumb show
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those days you're not around
Sitting at home listening to your radio
Listening for your old friend talking on some dumb show
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a raintown raintown rain down
On all those days you're not around
Ragman lyrics - Deacon Blue
Offered her a roof
The rain had made it shine
Offered her a song
Wasn't really mine
I showed her all my things
She offered me belongings
She thought I was a ragman
She offered me possessions
I tied them in a knot
Wrapped it in a note
Kept it in my pocket
I showed her all my things
She offered me belongings
She thought I was a ragman
I came to her too soon
She should have had a ragdoll
And wound up with a ragman
Wing and kites and wedding rings
All these charms I said I'd bring
I showed her all my things
She offered me belongings
She thought I was a ragman
Baby you're a rich man
Lost in a small world
Looking for a ragdoll
Wound up with a ragman
With a ragman
Ragman
The rain had made it shine
Offered her a song
Wasn't really mine
I showed her all my things
She offered me belongings
She thought I was a ragman
She offered me possessions
I tied them in a knot
Wrapped it in a note
Kept it in my pocket
I showed her all my things
She offered me belongings
She thought I was a ragman
I came to her too soon
She should have had a ragdoll
And wound up with a ragman
Wing and kites and wedding rings
All these charms I said I'd bring
I showed her all my things
She offered me belongings
She thought I was a ragman
Baby you're a rich man
Lost in a small world
Looking for a ragdoll
Wound up with a ragman
With a ragman
Ragman
He Looks Like Spencer Tracy Now lyrics - Deacon Blue
There's a shadow on his photograph
On tinian'45
Smiling like a college boy
Who's glad to be alive
But now he owns a factory
And a store in los alamos
A wife called beverly
Sells second hand ford motors
He may have taken pictures
Been caught in albuquerque
Flown in "great artiste"
On a mushroom cloud
Now he may be a senator
Or a general or a turn key
But i know he looks like spencer tracy now
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he may have been with oppenheimer
Shaken einsteins hand
Said "did we have to drop the bomb"
On tinian'45
Smiling like a college boy
Who's glad to be alive
But now he owns a factory
And a store in los alamos
A wife called beverly
Sells second hand ford motors
He may have taken pictures
Been caught in albuquerque
Flown in "great artiste"
On a mushroom cloud
Now he may be a senator
Or a general or a turn key
But i know he looks like spencer tracy now
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he may have been with oppenheimer
Shaken einsteins hand
Said "did we have to drop the bomb"
Loaded lyrics - Deacon Blue
You sigh, you walk, you talk, you care about nothing
Sometimes you feel that life has treated you wrong
I've got a feeling you know what the score is baby
But it's hard when you're sitting here surrounded by friends
I've got a love that I'll cling on to
And I'll stay there stay there till the end
'cause one thing I know is
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
You walk and you talk
And you sing and you shout
And you justify about anything
And you rant and you rave and you hope and you say nothing
And you eat and you drink and you dress and you live as if
No one else did baby
No one else like you lives out in this world
I've got a love that I'll cling on to
And I'll stay there stay there till the end
'cause one thing I know is
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
Sometimes you feel that life has treated you wrong
I've got a feeling you know what the score is baby
But it's hard when you're sitting here surrounded by friends
I've got a love that I'll cling on to
And I'll stay there stay there till the end
'cause one thing I know is
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
You walk and you talk
And you sing and you shout
And you justify about anything
And you rant and you rave and you hope and you say nothing
And you eat and you drink and you dress and you live as if
No one else did baby
No one else like you lives out in this world
I've got a love that I'll cling on to
And I'll stay there stay there till the end
'cause one thing I know is
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
I have found an answer I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh 'cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring) lyrics - Deacon Blue
Pale blue eyes
Same old house no ties
A little bit older but not so
Worldly wise
That I can't see
Your light's on me
Making me regretfully say
The wonder of it all was you
And underneath it all it wasn't true
I want you in everything
In everything
In anything I do
When will you make my phone ring
And tell me I can't give you anything
Anything at all now
Tiny steps
From ruthless legs
When you've been walking so long
Now don't you rest
From disharmony
From disunity
From anything that isn't you and me
The wonder of it all was you
And underneath it all it wasn't true
I want you in everything
In everything
In anything I do
When will you make my phone ring
And tell me I can't give you anything
Anything at all now
Tired of chasing old dreams
Tired of wasting days
Tired of waking mornings
Just to wait for you till late
Tired of searching high
Tired of getting low
Tired of listening hard
Just to wait for you to know that
I want you in everything
In everything
In anything I do
When will you make my phone ring
And tell me I can't give you anything
Anything at all now
Chocolate Girl lyrics - Deacon Blue
Alan doesn't understand her
He only thinks in numbers
He only drinks in restaurants
Where the girls are fully covered
And he can't trust his yearnings
And he doesn't like pretending
His tempers stretched so much by work
His heart needs gentle rending
He calls her the chocolate girl
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
Alan doesn't understand this
He says he's only human
So he still lights up with old flames
As if to try and prove it
And he doesn't like emotion
He's not certain of their ardour
If pouting causes so much fun
Then breaking hearts is harder
He calls her the chocolate girl
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
Alan doesn't understand her
He thinks its getting harder
So he spends the night with old friends
Underneath the covers
And he talks about the chocolate girl
And how he thinks she melts when he touches her
And that she knows she's the chocolate girl
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
He calls her the chocolate girl
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
He only thinks in numbers
He only drinks in restaurants
Where the girls are fully covered
And he can't trust his yearnings
And he doesn't like pretending
His tempers stretched so much by work
His heart needs gentle rending
He calls her the chocolate girl
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
Alan doesn't understand this
He says he's only human
So he still lights up with old flames
As if to try and prove it
And he doesn't like emotion
He's not certain of their ardour
If pouting causes so much fun
Then breaking hearts is harder
He calls her the chocolate girl
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
Alan doesn't understand her
He thinks its getting harder
So he spends the night with old friends
Underneath the covers
And he talks about the chocolate girl
And how he thinks she melts when he touches her
And that she knows she's the chocolate girl
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
He calls her the chocolate girl
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
Dignity lyrics - Deacon Blue
There's a man I meet walks up our street
He's a worker for the council
Has been twenty years
And he takes no lip off nobody
And litter off the gutter
Puts it in a bag
And never seems to mutter
And he packs his lunch in a "sunblest" bag
The children call him "bogie"
He never lets on
But I know 'cause he once told me
He let me know a secret about the money in his kitty
He's gonna buy a dinghy
Gonna call her dignity
And I'll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
They'll be doing their rounds
They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity
And I'm telling this story
In a faraway scene
Sipping down raki
And reading maynard keynes
And I'm thinking about home and all that means
And a place in the winter for dignity
And I'll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
They'll be doing their rounds
They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity
And I'm thinking about home
And I'm thinking about faith
And I'm thinking about work
And I'm thinking about how good it would be
To be here some day
On a ship called dignity
A ship called dignity
That ship
He's a worker for the council
Has been twenty years
And he takes no lip off nobody
And litter off the gutter
Puts it in a bag
And never seems to mutter
And he packs his lunch in a "sunblest" bag
The children call him "bogie"
He never lets on
But I know 'cause he once told me
He let me know a secret about the money in his kitty
He's gonna buy a dinghy
Gonna call her dignity
And I'll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
They'll be doing their rounds
They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity
And I'm telling this story
In a faraway scene
Sipping down raki
And reading maynard keynes
And I'm thinking about home and all that means
And a place in the winter for dignity
And I'll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
They'll be doing their rounds
They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity
And I'm thinking about home
And I'm thinking about faith
And I'm thinking about work
And I'm thinking about how good it would be
To be here some day
On a ship called dignity
A ship called dignity
That ship
The Very Thing lyrics - Deacon Blue
One day all of us will work
We'll stand outside this orchard and we'll talk
When all is said all is done
We'll still be thinking about home
They say that love might be the very thing
If only it could be
And making love is more than anything
And all these thing like buildings
And faces
And memories
And places
Don't count for anything
I'll gladly draw the lines of duty
Watching summer turn to gold
She's not content with responsibility
She wants to have and then to hold
They say that love might be the very thing
If only it could be
And making love is more than anything
And all these thing like buildings
And faces
And memories
And places
Don't count for anything
One day all of us will work
One day all of us will work
One day all of us will work
We'll stand outside this orchard and we'll talk
When all is said all is done
We'll still be thinking about home
They say that love might be the very thing
If only it could be
And making love is more than anything
And all these thing like buildings
And faces
And memories
And places
Don't count for anything
I'll gladly draw the lines of duty
Watching summer turn to gold
She's not content with responsibility
She wants to have and then to hold
They say that love might be the very thing
If only it could be
And making love is more than anything
And all these thing like buildings
And faces
And memories
And places
Don't count for anything
One day all of us will work
One day all of us will work
One day all of us will work
Love's Great Fears lyrics - Deacon Blue
You know the agony of seeing it all slip away
Well maybe noe you'd be happy just to talk it out straight
Slipping away
About the danger of believing in plans in hand
About the role that you have in this delicate plan
Slipping away
Let's talk it out now
Let's name them one by one
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn as you walk and learn
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn as you walk and learn
You know danger of believing that the summer's gone
And with the fading light the feeling that love is falling
Slipping away
If you believe in the dangers that you suppose
You think it can tumble down none of us knows
It's all slipping away
Let's talk it out now
Let's name them one by one
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn as you walk and learn
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn as you walk and learn
Well maybe noe you'd be happy just to talk it out straight
Slipping away
About the danger of believing in plans in hand
About the role that you have in this delicate plan
Slipping away
Let's talk it out now
Let's name them one by one
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn as you walk and learn
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn as you walk and learn
You know danger of believing that the summer's gone
And with the fading light the feeling that love is falling
Slipping away
If you believe in the dangers that you suppose
You think it can tumble down none of us knows
It's all slipping away
Let's talk it out now
Let's name them one by one
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn as you walk and learn
Love's great fears
Can't you see them burn
Twist and turn as you walk and learn
Town To Be Blamed lyrics - Deacon Blue
Close your eyes and go to sleep
From the howling howling over these streets
People stare 'cause you're so mad
That wild wild spark that innocent laugh
But baby that's this town
It won't happen next time
Yeah baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs
It's this town to be blamed
At the top of the block there's a church
At the top of the tower there's the clock
And it rings and it sighs
'cause there's no time for all these lies
But baby that's this town
It won't happen next time
Yeah baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs
It's this town to be blamed
Baby take a walk round to my house
Throw off these tired eyes and tears and these frowns
Take that lane so narrow and deep and walk those regrets that fill your sleep
You say your sleep is naked and your dreams are clothed
But what about your footsteps
Who sees them go
Who lets you know about these things
Who's gonna say the things we think
So take your keys and pack your bags
But leave your books and leave your maps
'cause baby that's this town
It won't happen next time
Yeah baby that's this town
It won't happen next time
Yeah baby that's this town
It won't happen next time
Sure baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs
It's this town to be blamed
It's this town to be blamed
Work work work
Rain rain rain
Home home home
Again again again
Work work work
Rain rain rain
Home home home
Again again again
From the howling howling over these streets
People stare 'cause you're so mad
That wild wild spark that innocent laugh
But baby that's this town
It won't happen next time
Yeah baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs
It's this town to be blamed
At the top of the block there's a church
At the top of the tower there's the clock
And it rings and it sighs
'cause there's no time for all these lies
But baby that's this town
It won't happen next time
Yeah baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs
It's this town to be blamed
Baby take a walk round to my house
Throw off these tired eyes and tears and these frowns
Take that lane so narrow and deep and walk those regrets that fill your sleep
You say your sleep is naked and your dreams are clothed
But what about your footsteps
Who sees them go
Who lets you know about these things
Who's gonna say the things we think
So take your keys and pack your bags
But leave your books and leave your maps
'cause baby that's this town
It won't happen next time
Yeah baby that's this town
It won't happen next time
Yeah baby that's this town
It won't happen next time
Sure baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs
It's this town to be blamed
It's this town to be blamed
Work work work
Rain rain rain
Home home home
Again again again
Work work work
Rain rain rain
Home home home
Again again again
Bigger Than Dynamite lyrics - Deacon Blue
Bigger than a ball of fire
Wider than the western sky
That’s the way that you describe
The height and depth of our desire
Bigger than the night
That got me into this
We’re still confused – oh yeah
When we get it, it’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
Longer than a five day march
Tougher than the Marble Arch
More deadly than a poison dart
Madder than the queen of hearts
Though love is hard
We’re gonna break it some day
See our reward – oh yeah
When we get it, it’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
Don’t tell me love is strong
Don’t tell me love is strange
I’ve still got blood on my hands
Trying to put my heart back from where it came
When we get it, it’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
Wider than the western sky
That’s the way that you describe
The height and depth of our desire
Bigger than the night
That got me into this
We’re still confused – oh yeah
When we get it, it’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
Longer than a five day march
Tougher than the Marble Arch
More deadly than a poison dart
Madder than the queen of hearts
Though love is hard
We’re gonna break it some day
See our reward – oh yeah
When we get it, it’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
Don’t tell me love is strong
Don’t tell me love is strange
I’ve still got blood on my hands
Trying to put my heart back from where it came
When we get it, it’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
It’s gonna be bigger than dynamite
Brighter than the Brooklyn Bridge at night
Higher than a spinning satellite that tracks our every move
I Was Right And You Were Wrong lyrics - Deacon Blue
I was right and you were wrong girl
Nothing lasts forever
Inside every one of us
There's only so long
I believe the longest day girl
The lovely light of May girl
If asked if I could ever leave
I never saw a change
But I will
What I say
What I do
I was right and you were wrong girl
Nothing seems the same
I heard you on the radio
Your voice was so strange
But I will
What I say
What I do
Nothing lasts forever
Inside every one of us
There's only so long
I believe the longest day girl
The lovely light of May girl
If asked if I could ever leave
I never saw a change
But I will
What I say
What I do
I was right and you were wrong girl
Nothing seems the same
I heard you on the radio
Your voice was so strange
But I will
What I say
What I do
