All Of This Or Nothing At All lyrics - Deacon Blue
Walking hard walking slow taking up that time until you go
Climbing up that track deep into the dark
Everything we've ever said
All the days we've ever spent
So much joy we've missed from lack of innocence
Like the wild flowers of wintertime
All the leaves the wind has stolen
Colours that we long forgotten things we should of known
Yeah all of this or nothing at all
Oh all of this or nothing at all
Take them letters leave the pain
Let loose the losses take all the gains
That's not possible in our world
Sometimes I wish it could be so
Everything you've ever said
All the days we've ever spent
So much joy we missed through lack of innocence
Like the wild flowers of wintertime
All the leaves the wind has stolen
Colours that we've long forgotten things we should of known
Yeah all of this or nothing at all
Oh all of this or nothing at all
Everything we've ever said
All the days we've ever spent
So much joy we missed from lack of innocence
Like the wildflowers of wintertime
All the leaves the wind has stolen
Colours that we've long forgotten
Things we should of known
Yes all of this or nothing at all
Yes all of this or nothing at all
God Gives You Dreams lyrics - Deacon Blue
I found a train just need a ticket
Destination I need to pick it
I'd have a job if I committed
Or I did some work but I didn't
I know that feeling from a distance
Sunshine's there but there's something missing
Got some directions but I wasn't listening
My friends all said it's not my business
I got in trouble for gazing out the window
And staring out those far away scenes
I kept wondering what all this lying means
If there's something pulling and you just can't let go
No matter how hard it seems
Just remember god gave you dreams
Got no plan I've got no mission
I can take this life I'm living
I keep asking and I keep thinking
This worlds for wandering this worlds for living
I got in trouble for gazing out the window
And staring out those far away scenes
I kept wondering what all this lying means
If there's something pulling and you just can't let go
No matter how hard it seems
Just remember god gives you dreams
I got tired of waiting on tomorrow
To see what everybody else is seeing
No one seems to know which way the wind will be
If there's something pulling and you just can't let go
No matter how hard it seems
Just remember god gives you dreams
Gives you dreams
Gives you dreams
Gives you dreams
Gives you dreams
Haunted lyrics - Deacon Blue
I want you to know
That I love you still
I want you to know
That I'd miss you girl
I want you to know
Even though you're outside my world
But I can't let you go
Do you forget
How I remember
Everything that we did
Haunted
You leave me haunted
Haunted
By your love
In the dead of the night
I can't know where you are
I still have your scent
On my coat, in my car
Is that just the wind
Or your voice in the dark
And I still hear you go
Do you shiver
Do you know
It's not winter
Are you cold
Haunted
You leave me haunted
Haunted
By your love
Haunted
You leave me haunted
Haunted
By your love
You can't take me back in your arms anymore
I can't go back to your arms anymore
I want you
Haunted
You leave me haunted
Haunted
By your love
Haunted
You leave me haunted
Haunted
By your love
Haunted
You leave me haunted
Haunted
By your love
Haunted
Haunted
Haunted...
Just Come Home Now lyrics - Deacon Blue
I opened your letter imagining your life your place and the weather there
You see its pretty but you're missing something
Cause its summer there its creeping cold here
So I wrote you straight back and I put in it to you
If you're worried about anything please don't think on it
Just come home now don't worry about anything
Come home now bring yourself in
Just come home now don't worry about anything
Come home now bring yourself in
Don't worry about the journey the distance the words before you went
There's nothing left now it's Christmas and all the money's spent
Just come home now just come home
Your dad put up the tree and I've been out shopping on Queens street
We watched meet me in saint Louis and I thought of you
I hear your friends are meeting on Hogmanay outside the central station
One last drink then home to bring the bells in
If there's one thing I know it's how I miss you tonight
So do this one thing for me now and be on that flight
Just come home now don't worry about anything
Come home now bring yourself in
Just come home now don't worry about anything
Come home now bring yourself in
Don't worry about the journey the distance the words before you went
There's nothing left now it's Christmas and all the money's spent
Just come home now just come home
Just come home now just come home
There's no room for fear anymore
We can only do what we do best
You get me right through anything
I'd let the snow swept streets do the rest
Just come home now don't worry about anything
Come home now bring yourself in
Don't worry about the journey the distance the words before you went
There's nothing left now it's Christmas and all the money's spent
Just come home now just come home
Just come home now just come home
Just Fine lyrics - Deacon Blue
Staring from the pavement at some poor dog in the road
Wishing for his eyes to open
And a women's watching TV trying to recognise a face
Of a man she hoped she'd never see again
There's no other exit there's no better way
Your gonna do the hardest thing you've ever done
This man's lost his memory this women's lost her sons
They've both been waiting for a long time
Someday this'll pass and mostly be forgotten
You'll get along just fine
There's no getting round it there's no turning back
And call the righteous and the wretched and wronged
The Hindus and the Hutus the masters and the slaves
The hangman and the criminal the cowards and the brave
They'll get along just fine
They'll get along just fine
They'll get along just fine
More People More lyrics - Deacon Blue
Ohh ohhh ohhh ohhh
And people mean so much more
Ohhh and people Ohhh and people Ohhh and people Ohhh and people
People mean so much more
The sun the snow the mountain tops
The wind that crosses fields and stops
These buildings halfway to the sky
A flame that bursts alive then dies
The endless motions of the sea
The months that follow tirelessly and the moon
Ohhh and people ohhh and people ohhh and people ohhh and people
Yeah people mean so much more
No myths remains on painted walls
Unmapped places only unrecalled
The half-remembered childhood kiss
Some sweet forgotten melodies
I'll sigh as swallows dive and soar
For colours that exist no more and wait
Ohhh ohhhh ohhh ohhh
Ohhh and people Ohhh and people Ohhh and people Ohhh and people
And people mean so much more
And people mean so much more
Peace Will Com lyrics - Deacon Blue
Peace will come
Just as surely as the
Night is done
And as certain the
Arrival of the sun
All we know is that
Peace will come
Peace will come
Just in time to save
Everyone
If they're old or
If they're young
All we know is that
Peace will come
All we know is that
Peace will come
Peace will come
Like an injured dog that
Keeps on running
He's still limping but he's
Coming home
All we know is that
Peace will come
All we know is that
Peace will come
Sing it up
Sing it up again
Sing it up
Sing it up again
Sing it up
Sing it up again
Peace will come
Peace will come
Scent And Cigarettes lyrics - Deacon Blue
What did I do
What did I say
That you took everything I had to give
Then went away
Cos I've been alone
But not like this before
Oh no
All you left me with is scent and cigarettes
Now everything else I own means so much less
I'd phone I'd call I'd write
If I knew your address
Now all I have is your perfume and the memory of your sweet tenderness
Was as easy to slip away as to break my heart
Why did you smile and laugh and kiss
And pull our love apart
Was there nothing that you missed did you know I'd not get over this
All you left me with is scent and cigarettes
Now everything I own means so much less
I'd phone I'd call I'd write if I knew your address
Yes yes yes
But all I have is your perfume and the memory of your sweet tenderness
Scent and cigarettes
Scent and cigarettes
Scent and cigarettes
The One About Loneliness lyrics - Deacon Blue
About the ones who never call
About the call you never make
About the makes you always spoke of
No that's just a joke
About the tape you never sent
About the scent you never wore
About the war you never fought
And how I got caught
This is the one about loneliness
Can I take it home and play it back to all my friends?
And we'll listen and think
And hold our lovers and drinks in our hands
About the records they all played
About the plays they never watched
About the watches they all wore
How I never saw
About the breaking of the heart
About the heart that made the stars
About the stars they chased and chased
Where I still go
This is the one about loneliness
Can I take it home and play it back to all my friends?
And we'll listen and think
And hold our lovers and drinks in our hands
I love the one about loneliness
Can I take it home and play it back to all my friends?
And we'll listen and think
And hold our lovers and drinks
Don't you know what only time brings
Cause we're getting old
What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love And Understanding lyrics - Deacon Blue
(originally by Brinsley Schwarz)
As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Oh...
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Oh...
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Oh...
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?
Understanding, brother
Understanding, sister
Understanding, people
When You Were A Boy You Were A Beautiful Boy lyrics - Deacon Blue
I want to love you
But everything is gonna to have to change
This cell's taught me
That everything can be chained
You read my letters
See all my cares
You see time passing
I see me and you will say
When you were a boy (you were a boy)
You were beautiful
When you were a boy (you were a boy)
You were beautiful
When you were a boy
I never thought you would be looking for such a girl
I'm going to love you
But things are going to be so strange
You'd better get ready
To make up your mind for your own way
I know December
But you say May
You'll say tomorrow
Nearly every day... and then you say
The Believers lyrics - Deacon Blue
Go on ahead
I'll be with you soon enough
Go plant a garden
I'll be walking in the cool of the evening
In honeysuckle and willow trees
Tell them your story
Tell them what you dreamed about
Say you were lost
Then one day you were found
Someone brought you home again
The Believers
Know that it's going to get better
You better
Believe it
Cause no one here will ever forget you
Not let you
We're believers
Believers
Who was this child?
What was her journey?
Who were her people
What did she dream of?
How come we know nothing
When we say we know so much
About everything?
Step on a boat
Go on a journey
May it take you to heaven
And never bring you back again
So you no longer fear the boatman
Or the swell of the ocean
The Believers
Know that it's going to get better
You better
Believe it
Cause no one here will ever forget you
Not let you
We're believers
Believers
You wake up one morning
There's nothing you can do about it now
You know you're on one side or the other
You're just one more believer
I'll be with you soon enough
Go plant a garden
I'll be walking in the cool of the evening
In honeysuckle and willow trees
Tell them your story
Tell them what you dreamed about
Say you were lost
Then one day you were found
Someone brought you home again
The Believers
Know that it's going to get better
You better
Believe it
Cause no one here will ever forget you
Not let you
We're believers
Believers
Who was this child?
What was her journey?
Who were her people
What did she dream of?
How come we know nothing
When we say we know so much
About everything?
Step on a boat
Go on a journey
May it take you to heaven
And never bring you back again
So you no longer fear the boatman
Or the swell of the ocean
The Believers
Know that it's going to get better
You better
Believe it
Cause no one here will ever forget you
Not let you
We're believers
Believers
You wake up one morning
There's nothing you can do about it now
You know you're on one side or the other
You're just one more believer
This Is A Love Song lyrics - Deacon Blue
Morning comes
To the sound of bells
Lying beside me saying
You gotta be somewhere else
There was a time
Everything got lost
Everyone and everything we once loved
Was in the past
Cross the room and you're looking at me
You touch the handle and you're looking at me
Walking out that door still looking at me
There's something there's something
There's something you gotta know...
Morning comes
I like awake
I'm looking at you
I only know today you're going away
Look at your clothes
Scattered on the floor
Is nothing gonna change
Is nothing gonna change any more?
I get so worried when you don't appear
I get so worried when you come too near
I'm standing in your way
But you're still looking at me
There's something there's something
There's something you gotta know...
Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer than
Anything you're going through
Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer than
Anything you're going through
Love song
This is a love song
Love song
This is a love song
You gotta walk a long way
Walk a long way
Walk a long way
To come back again
You gotta walk a long way
Walk a long way
Walk a long way
To come back again
Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer than
Anything you're going through
Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer than
Anything you're going through
Love song
This is a love song
Love song
Love will do
Love lasts longer than
Anything you're going through
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
To the sound of bells
Lying beside me saying
You gotta be somewhere else
There was a time
Everything got lost
Everyone and everything we once loved
Was in the past
Cross the room and you're looking at me
You touch the handle and you're looking at me
Walking out that door still looking at me
There's something there's something
There's something you gotta know...
Morning comes
I like awake
I'm looking at you
I only know today you're going away
Look at your clothes
Scattered on the floor
Is nothing gonna change
Is nothing gonna change any more?
I get so worried when you don't appear
I get so worried when you come too near
I'm standing in your way
But you're still looking at me
There's something there's something
There's something you gotta know...

This is a love song
I Will And I Won't lyrics - Deacon Blue
Every time I think of that night
I still smile
I made you laugh and you were kind enough
To make me feel good for a while
At last when you fell in my arms
I knew you were glad
It was so good to learn how things
Take a turn to happy from sad
Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
I do and I don't
Every time I think of that night I still smile
If I laughed and showed kindness
It's cause you made me feel good for a while
In your arms this girl's chances
Didn't seem so bad
Though I didn't get you
I could not forget
To remember the night we had
Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
I do and I don't
Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
I do and I don't
Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
Do I love you
I do and I don't
I still smile
I made you laugh and you were kind enough
To make me feel good for a while
At last when you fell in my arms
I knew you were glad
It was so good to learn how things
Take a turn to happy from sad
Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
I do and I don't
Every time I think of that night I still smile
If I laughed and showed kindness
It's cause you made me feel good for a while
In your arms this girl's chances
Didn't seem so bad
Though I didn't get you
I could not forget
To remember the night we had
Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
I do and I don't
Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
I do and I don't
Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
Do I love you
I do and I don't
Meteors lyrics - Deacon Blue
Had a friend in Fowlis
We'd stay up all night and talk it out
We'd never worry about things
We shouldn't worry about
Like the cold dark river
Currents running so deep you can't see
How far down we'd be
Before they pulled us out
Oh, the toughest test
Is not the way we came into the world
Or the way it ends
Yes, our toughest test
Is what lies between and what we do
With the time we get
This world is beautiful
It's full of beautiful things
Tall trees and meadows and birds that sing
Oh, the toughest test
Is not the way we came into the world
Or the way it ends
Yes, our toughest test
Is what lies between and what we do
With the time we get
There's a hole in the middle
We've gotta work out how we're gonna fill it in
Oh, the toughest test
Is not the way we came into the world
Or the way it ends
Yes, our toughest test
Is what lies between and what we do
With the time we get
We'd stay up all night and talk it out
We'd never worry about things
We shouldn't worry about
Like the cold dark river
Currents running so deep you can't see
How far down we'd be
Before they pulled us out
Oh, the toughest test
Is not the way we came into the world
Or the way it ends
Yes, our toughest test
Is what lies between and what we do
With the time we get
This world is beautiful
It's full of beautiful things
Tall trees and meadows and birds that sing
Oh, the toughest test
Is not the way we came into the world
Or the way it ends
Yes, our toughest test
Is what lies between and what we do
With the time we get
There's a hole in the middle
We've gotta work out how we're gonna fill it in
Oh, the toughest test
Is not the way we came into the world
Or the way it ends
Yes, our toughest test
Is what lies between and what we do
With the time we get
Gone lyrics - Deacon Blue
Were you there at the beginning, pacing the roads, walking the streets
Or in the shadows of the summer, close by, but never seen
Were you the figure in the window, seen from some speeding train
Or accidentally in a photograph, of a half forgotten scene
Did I see you from the car, round the corner out of reach?
Were you a swimmer or just a rock, glanced in a moment from the beach
If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again
But you're gone
You're gone
Everybody's lost, not just the ones you know
We are reluctant travelers, all trying to get home
Did I see you from the platform, slowly pulling out again,
Did I pass you on the road, almost forgotten by everyone
If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again
But you're gone,
But you're gone,
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again
If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again
But you're gone,
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
Or in the shadows of the summer, close by, but never seen
Were you the figure in the window, seen from some speeding train
Or accidentally in a photograph, of a half forgotten scene
Did I see you from the car, round the corner out of reach?
Were you a swimmer or just a rock, glanced in a moment from the beach
If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again
But you're gone
You're gone
Everybody's lost, not just the ones you know
We are reluctant travelers, all trying to get home
Did I see you from the platform, slowly pulling out again,
Did I pass you on the road, almost forgotten by everyone
If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again
But you're gone,
But you're gone,
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again
If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again
But you're gone,
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
What I Left Out lyrics - Deacon Blue
Is this the common cup?
Every one drinks once
Or am I the odd one out?
Laughing at danger and saying...
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
I want to sing and I want to shout
She keeps making me what I'm all about
I've been given the benefit of the doubt
She's got me wondering what I left out
I told her everything
Knew every word was true
I wanna be just and kind
God knows I tried and failed
So many times trying to do it right
So many times but I won't be denied
I want to sing and I want to shout
She keeps making me what I'm all about
I've been given the benefit of the doubt
She's got me wondering what I left out
Sometimes the light's too cruel
You put the truth behind you
Hoping it can't find you
Waiting to sing, waiting to shout
She keeps making me what I'm all about
I've been given the benefit of the doubt
She's got me wondering what I left out
She's got me wondering what I left out
Every one drinks once
Or am I the odd one out?
Laughing at danger and saying...
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
I want to sing and I want to shout
She keeps making me what I'm all about
I've been given the benefit of the doubt
She's got me wondering what I left out
I told her everything
Knew every word was true
I wanna be just and kind
God knows I tried and failed
So many times trying to do it right
So many times but I won't be denied
I want to sing and I want to shout
She keeps making me what I'm all about
I've been given the benefit of the doubt
She's got me wondering what I left out
Sometimes the light's too cruel
You put the truth behind you
Hoping it can't find you
Waiting to sing, waiting to shout
She keeps making me what I'm all about
I've been given the benefit of the doubt
She's got me wondering what I left out
She's got me wondering what I left out
A Boy lyrics - Deacon Blue
I first met you on the road
Everyone was rushing past
And you were going slow
You seemed to make me all I should be
Having watched it all on the movies and on tv
I met somebody else
Who spun me around and around
And that made all the difference to me
We were young once
Don't pretend it didn't happen to you
We thought we had it all to come
So what's a boy supposed to do?
We got into your old car
Drove about as fast as it would go and just as far
Till, before we even knew we came
Up to the end of the road
Long before we meant to
I found somebody else
Who spun me around the town
And that made all the difference to me
We were young once
Don't pretend it didn't happen to you
We thought we had it all to come
So what's a boy supposed to do?
Everyone was rushing past
And you were going slow
You seemed to make me all I should be
Having watched it all on the movies and on tv
I met somebody else
Who spun me around and around
And that made all the difference to me
We were young once
Don't pretend it didn't happen to you
We thought we had it all to come
So what's a boy supposed to do?
We got into your old car
Drove about as fast as it would go and just as far
Till, before we even knew we came
Up to the end of the road
Long before we meant to
I found somebody else
Who spun me around the town
And that made all the difference to me
We were young once
Don't pretend it didn't happen to you
We thought we had it all to come
So what's a boy supposed to do?
Birds lyrics - Deacon Blue
We were the sailors in the summer
In the winter we climbed the hills
We were swimmers for a season
Even out to sea you'd see us
We left footsteps on the beaches
Trails of sand back to the road
There's nothing left there to teach us
Only the knowledge of your going
Were we folks you recognised
When we came into your view?
Did you notice who we were
Or were we strange shapes in truth?
Maybe it was how the light fell
Maybe just the time of day
Perhaps a storm had just passed over
Or perhaps we were never there
The land will surely come
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds
We were sailors in the summer
In the winter we stayed in
No one heard us break the water
Or saw our shapes on the horizon
We were strangers on the coast
Outsiders to the land
No one thought to ask us questions
No one thought to understand
We were prisoners to the city
We had nowhere else to go
All our dreams like fallen leaves
On some unremembered road
Sometimes no land would come
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds
We're high above jail walls and windows
We're high above the waves of worry
We're floating on the wind
Cause nothing can begin
To make us want to land again
One day
One day
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds
In the winter we climbed the hills
We were swimmers for a season
Even out to sea you'd see us
We left footsteps on the beaches
Trails of sand back to the road
There's nothing left there to teach us
Only the knowledge of your going
Were we folks you recognised
When we came into your view?
Did you notice who we were
Or were we strange shapes in truth?
Maybe it was how the light fell
Maybe just the time of day
Perhaps a storm had just passed over
Or perhaps we were never there
The land will surely come
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds
We were sailors in the summer
In the winter we stayed in
No one heard us break the water
Or saw our shapes on the horizon
We were strangers on the coast
Outsiders to the land
No one thought to ask us questions
No one thought to understand
We were prisoners to the city
We had nowhere else to go
All our dreams like fallen leaves
On some unremembered road
Sometimes no land would come
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds
We're high above jail walls and windows
We're high above the waves of worry
We're floating on the wind
Cause nothing can begin
To make us want to land again
One day
One day
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds
You Can't Know Everything lyrics - Deacon Blue
I wish I was a painter now
I'd paint all of this somehow
Words just don't come quick enough
To catch that weak winter light
Leaking in from above
The rain's gone off for a while
Probably coming back in style
Short glimpses of near perfection
Thanks, but I'll walk and keep my coat on
You can't know everything
You're such an innocent soul
You can't learn anything
Unless you let somebody show you
And you'll not know everything
Even if you started right now
You must trust someone
Cause someday darling trust's all you know
Here comes those sirens again
Or is it just my dreams that they're in?
Racing towards and ending
When everything seems to be beginning
You can't know everything
You're such an innocent soul
You can't learn anything
Unless you let somebody show you
And you'll not know everything
Even if you started right now
You must trust someone
Cause someday darling trust's all you know
I'd paint all of this somehow
Words just don't come quick enough
To catch that weak winter light
Leaking in from above
The rain's gone off for a while
Probably coming back in style
Short glimpses of near perfection
Thanks, but I'll walk and keep my coat on
You can't know everything
You're such an innocent soul
You can't learn anything
Unless you let somebody show you
And you'll not know everything
Even if you started right now
You must trust someone
Cause someday darling trust's all you know
Here comes those sirens again
Or is it just my dreams that they're in?
Racing towards and ending
When everything seems to be beginning
You can't know everything
You're such an innocent soul
You can't learn anything
Unless you let somebody show you
And you'll not know everything
Even if you started right now
You must trust someone
Cause someday darling trust's all you know
Delivery Man lyrics - Deacon Blue
I give you everything I can
But I don't get anything back from you
There's something in the way you sing
The words but somehow it lacks the bitter truth
I'm here singing you're there watching
But I've been in these songs too long
I know you love them more than I ever could
But that's cause you never stood where I stood
In amongst the heartache
Down around the sorrow saying I love you
Saying it right out loud..
Singing there or being here...
Two different things we need to realise but I.
I''m the delivery man
Taking round things I don't own
To folks who can afford them
Cause I can't
I'm just the delivery man
I can't tell you what to think or do
I'm just a singer of songs
In the middle of it all, when it all comes down
I can't tell right from wrong
In amongst the heartache
Down around the sorrow
Saying I love you, saying it right out loud...
Singing there or being here
Two different things we need to realise but I...
I'm the delivery man
Taking round things I don't own
To folks who can afford them
Cause I can't I'm just the delivery man
I'm going round the town
Can't take it back
Can only give it out
Cause I know what I'm not and what I am
I'm just the delivery man
I'm going round the town
Can't take it back
Can only give it out
Cause I know what I'm not and what I am
I'm just the delivery man
l'm going round the town
Can't take it back
Can only give it out
Cause I know what I'm not and what I am
I'm just the delivery man
But I don't get anything back from you
There's something in the way you sing
The words but somehow it lacks the bitter truth
I'm here singing you're there watching
But I've been in these songs too long
I know you love them more than I ever could
But that's cause you never stood where I stood
In amongst the heartache
Down around the sorrow saying I love you
Saying it right out loud..
Singing there or being here...
Two different things we need to realise but I.
I''m the delivery man
Taking round things I don't own
To folks who can afford them
Cause I can't
I'm just the delivery man
I can't tell you what to think or do
I'm just a singer of songs
In the middle of it all, when it all comes down
I can't tell right from wrong
In amongst the heartache
Down around the sorrow
Saying I love you, saying it right out loud...
Singing there or being here
Two different things we need to realise but I...
I'm the delivery man
Taking round things I don't own
To folks who can afford them
Cause I can't I'm just the delivery man
I'm going round the town
Can't take it back
Can only give it out
Cause I know what I'm not and what I am
I'm just the delivery man
I'm going round the town
Can't take it back

Cause I know what I'm not and what I am
I'm just the delivery man
l'm going round the town
Can't take it back
Can only give it out
Cause I know what I'm not and what I am
I'm just the delivery man
Come Awake lyrics - Deacon Blue
When the daylight comes
And come it will
I'll get all my things
And creep down the hall
I'll light that ring
For my first cigarette
Walking out to the morning
Pulling on your jacket
I can no longer watch
I can no longer wait
I can no longer hope
I have come awake
That persistent sun
Will warm my face
Lighten my steps
Till hours later
I'll come back
Throw my coat on the floor
We'll talk tomorrow
When tonight is over
I can no longer watch
I can no longer wait
I can no longer hope
I have come awake
And come it will
I'll get all my things
And creep down the hall
I'll light that ring
For my first cigarette
Walking out to the morning
Pulling on your jacket
I can no longer watch
I can no longer wait
I can no longer hope
I have come awake
That persistent sun
Will warm my face
Lighten my steps
Till hours later
I'll come back
Throw my coat on the floor
We'll talk tomorrow
When tonight is over
I can no longer watch
I can no longer wait
I can no longer hope
I have come awake
Bethlehem Begins lyrics - Deacon Blue
Tell me once tell me twice how is it that we begin again
Do we start off by clearing up the mess or just forgetting
The way some people try to kid you'd think
We're better off pretending
Just how far can we go without working out the ending
We stayed awake one starry night
Just to watch the sky turn and change and aim...
So suddenly there's no day, no night,
No earth and no horizon
Everything that's wrong's now right
No moon or no sun rising
I can't tell my left from right
There's nothing to keep my eyes on
You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time
To Bethlehem
To begin again
Sometimes it feels like
The weals of winter won't disappear
So we throw out a rope and hope it gets
To the middle of the year
When we can't tell the land from the sky from the cloud
And nothing's clear I guess a miracle's the only thing
That's ever going to work here
We stayed awake one starry night
Just to watch the sky turn and change and aim...
So suddenly there's no day, no night,
No earth and no horizon
Everything that's wrong's now right
No moon or no sun rising
I can't tell my left from right
There's nothing to keep my eyes on
You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time
To Bethlehem
To begin again
To Bethlehem
To begin again
To Bethlehem
To begin again
Every step I take will lead me back
Along the broken road
So suddenly there's no day, no night,
No earth and no horizon
Everything that's wrong's now right
No moon or no sun rising
I can't tell my left from right
There's nothing to keep my eyes on
You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time
To Bethlehem
To begin again
To Bethlehem
To begin again
Do we start off by clearing up the mess or just forgetting
The way some people try to kid you'd think
We're better off pretending
Just how far can we go without working out the ending
We stayed awake one starry night
Just to watch the sky turn and change and aim...
So suddenly there's no day, no night,
No earth and no horizon
Everything that's wrong's now right
No moon or no sun rising
I can't tell my left from right
There's nothing to keep my eyes on
You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time
To Bethlehem
To begin again
Sometimes it feels like
The weals of winter won't disappear
So we throw out a rope and hope it gets
To the middle of the year
When we can't tell the land from the sky from the cloud
And nothing's clear I guess a miracle's the only thing
That's ever going to work here
We stayed awake one starry night
Just to watch the sky turn and change and aim...
So suddenly there's no day, no night,
No earth and no horizon
Everything that's wrong's now right
No moon or no sun rising
I can't tell my left from right
There's nothing to keep my eyes on
You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time
To Bethlehem
To begin again
To Bethlehem
To begin again
To Bethlehem
To begin again
Every step I take will lead me back
Along the broken road
So suddenly there's no day, no night,
No earth and no horizon
Everything that's wrong's now right
No moon or no sun rising
I can't tell my left from right
There's nothing to keep my eyes on
You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time
To Bethlehem
To begin again
To Bethlehem
To begin again
For John Muir lyrics - Deacon Blue
What am I?
Stronger than you
That you don't think like I do
These days
More than in youth
I keep thinking about you
All of me feared the wild things in you
The truth is that I never forgot you
Long live the wilderness way
The high cloud
The long days
Long live perpetual light
Remember
Wherever
You wander
When you sail
Over the sea
Do you dream of the new world
Can you see
Clear mountain burns
The deer in the north woods
All of me feared the dark depths of the ocean
There's no coming back there is only going
Farewell to the high hills of snow
The green glens
The rivers
Farewell to the people I know
All gathered
And moving
Long live the wilderness way
The high cloud
The long days
Long live perpetual light
Remember
Wherever
You wander
Farewell to the high hills of snow
The green glens
The rivers
Farewell to the people I know
All gathered
And moving
Long live the wilderness way
The high cloud
The long days
Long live perpetual light
Remember
Wherever
You wander
Stronger than you
That you don't think like I do
These days
More than in youth
I keep thinking about you
All of me feared the wild things in you
The truth is that I never forgot you
Long live the wilderness way
The high cloud
The long days
Long live perpetual light
Remember
Wherever
You wander
When you sail
Over the sea
Do you dream of the new world
Can you see
Clear mountain burns
The deer in the north woods
All of me feared the dark depths of the ocean
There's no coming back there is only going
Farewell to the high hills of snow
The green glens
The rivers
Farewell to the people I know
All gathered
And moving
Long live the wilderness way
The high cloud
The long days
Long live perpetual light
Remember
Wherever
You wander
Farewell to the high hills of snow
The green glens
The rivers
Farewell to the people I know
All gathered
And moving
Long live the wilderness way
The high cloud
The long days
Long live perpetual light
Remember
Wherever
You wander
A New House lyrics - Deacon Blue
All those places where the wild things grew
All the fields he used to run through
Summer stretches out for seven weeks in June
Was there more light, more time than he ever knew?
Now he runs as fast as he can go
And he's hidden almost everywhere that he knows
Chased by the terror from the boys on the street below
He remembers a time of sunlight
And weeds through windows
Cause once there was meadows here; greens and grass
The night skies were only black interrupted by stars
They were like settlers abroad from some foreign parts
A new job, a new hope, a new start
In a new house
I'm going to take you there some time
Sometimes he's walking home alone out on the street
Memories come flooding back about
What they used to do what things used to be
Could he go back to unscrambling his dream?
Could everything in his world go from grey to green?
So I'd take you back to paradise if I only could
I want to walk you to the lane to the river
Through the woods
I want to show you how it was and what we used to do
With a new job, a new hope, a new view
In a new house
That's where we're going to go
I'm crying all the way to it now
Cause once there was meadows here; greens and grass
The night skies were only black interrupted by stars
They were like settlers abroad from some foreign parts
A new job, a new hope, a new start, a new way
A new place, a new view, a new road, a new time
A new walk, a new climb, on a new day
In a new house
In a new house
I'm going to take you there
To a new house
That's where we're gonna go
To a new house
Come on back, come on back
To a new house
To a new house
All the fields he used to run through
Summer stretches out for seven weeks in June
Was there more light, more time than he ever knew?
Now he runs as fast as he can go
And he's hidden almost everywhere that he knows
Chased by the terror from the boys on the street below
He remembers a time of sunlight
And weeds through windows
Cause once there was meadows here; greens and grass
The night skies were only black interrupted by stars
They were like settlers abroad from some foreign parts
A new job, a new hope, a new start
In a new house
I'm going to take you there some time
Sometimes he's walking home alone out on the street
Memories come flooding back about
What they used to do what things used to be
Could he go back to unscrambling his dream?
Could everything in his world go from grey to green?
So I'd take you back to paradise if I only could
I want to walk you to the lane to the river
Through the woods
I want to show you how it was and what we used to do
With a new job, a new hope, a new view
In a new house
That's where we're going to go
I'm crying all the way to it now
Cause once there was meadows here; greens and grass
The night skies were only black interrupted by stars
They were like settlers abroad from some foreign parts
A new job, a new hope, a new start, a new way
A new place, a new view, a new road, a new time
A new walk, a new climb, on a new day
In a new house
In a new house
I'm going to take you there
To a new house
That's where we're gonna go
To a new house
Come on back, come on back
To a new house
To a new house
An Ocean lyrics - Deacon Blue
Sometimes I'll open my eyes
And remember sight, remember breathing
I want to wake up nights
Mesmorized by you
Lying here in the cradle of fear
Remembering love remembering feeling
Is there something else I hear?
Unrecognised by you
Do you remember back then?
And can you still touch it again?
Do your dreams come quick do they never end?
Do you think of me?
Do you think of me?
I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out beyond sight
I want to love and never look back
But I can't thats just a simple fact
How come it's so easy for some
To kiss and forget
What's next?
I want to raise my hand
To wherever that singer laid his hat
Cause I'm never gonna be that kind of man
No matter how hard I think I am
I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out beyond sight
I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out
I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out beyond sight
And remember sight, remember breathing
I want to wake up nights
Mesmorized by you
Lying here in the cradle of fear
Remembering love remembering feeling
Is there something else I hear?
Unrecognised by you
Do you remember back then?
And can you still touch it again?
Do your dreams come quick do they never end?
Do you think of me?
Do you think of me?
I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out beyond sight
I want to love and never look back
But I can't thats just a simple fact
How come it's so easy for some
To kiss and forget
What's next?
I want to raise my hand
To wherever that singer laid his hat
Cause I'm never gonna be that kind of man
No matter how hard I think I am
I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out beyond sight
I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out
I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out beyond sight
The Living lyrics - Deacon Blue
Oh Kate the weather's good
The summer's come
What could you do here?
Should we pursue everything?
Insist on joy?
Hound out the humdrum?
Oh Kate we're the lucky ones
The first of them
That burst into that sea
We're not running scared
Locked up
Or frightened for what will be
Ooh wah wah
Wah wah ooh
Can we be the precious
The jewels
The longed for?
Are we the forgiven
The bright stars of the morning, the living?
So Kate we never did
The things we said
The promises we made
Oh Kate can we burn out
Fade away gloriously instead?
Ooh wah wah
Wah wah ooh
Can we be the precious
The jewels
The longed for?
Are we the forgiven
The bright stars of the morning, the shining?
So are we everything
We believed in
To the finish
From the beginning?
The Living?
The Living?
The living the living the living the living the living
The summer's come
What could you do here?
Should we pursue everything?
Insist on joy?
Hound out the humdrum?
Oh Kate we're the lucky ones
The first of them
That burst into that sea
We're not running scared
Locked up
Or frightened for what will be
Ooh wah wah
Wah wah ooh
Can we be the precious
The jewels
The longed for?
Are we the forgiven
The bright stars of the morning, the living?
So Kate we never did
The things we said
The promises we made
Oh Kate can we burn out
Fade away gloriously instead?
Ooh wah wah
Wah wah ooh
Can we be the precious
The jewels
The longed for?
Are we the forgiven
The bright stars of the morning, the shining?
So are we everything
We believed in
To the finish
From the beginning?
The Living?
The Living?
The living the living the living the living the living
I Wish I Was A Girl Like You lyrics - Deacon Blue
You know I miss you now and again
Though I never missed you then
Isn't that the beauty of love?
We forget about everything
There was a time we could have come back
Got over what it was we lacked
Do what everybody else does
Made a deal, not made a fuss
All the things we wish we could have done
But we haven't done yet
On the tribulation of regret
Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
So differently we might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away
There was a time you were the May queen
When all around our world was mantled green
We fell for the beauty of love
Or so now that's how it seems
Where every lad and every lass went
We only followed the romance
Despite never quite knowing
We made up our own dance
All the time we seemed to have then
We're only envious of now
We'd like to go back but we don't know how
Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
We might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away
Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
We might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away
You know I miss you now and again
Though I never missed you then
Isn't that the beauty of love?
We forget about everything
Though I never missed you then
Isn't that the beauty of love?
We forget about everything
There was a time we could have come back
Got over what it was we lacked
Do what everybody else does
Made a deal, not made a fuss
All the things we wish we could have done
But we haven't done yet
On the tribulation of regret
Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
So differently we might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away
There was a time you were the May queen
When all around our world was mantled green
We fell for the beauty of love
Or so now that's how it seems
Where every lad and every lass went
We only followed the romance
Despite never quite knowing
We made up our own dance
All the time we seemed to have then
We're only envious of now
We'd like to go back but we don't know how
Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
We might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away
Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
We might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away
You know I miss you now and again
Though I never missed you then
Isn't that the beauty of love?
We forget about everything
Win lyrics - Deacon Blue
Can't we just go out?
See a film do something with the night?
Lark about
Morning comes to early every day
The good bits always seem to slip away
Even though you think it's the last thing
That's ever gonna happen
There's one thing you should know
It's OK to want it
Believe it, maybe now we need it
We can win
It's OK to dream it
Feel it, maybe even steal it
We can win
Can't we go the distance?
We can win
Riding on the bus
Side by side as all the lights go up
It's taking us
Out of the darkness girl you wont believe
Just look back this one last time with me
Even though you think we're running
There's no way we're returning
So you should know
It's OK to want it
Believe it, maybe now we need it
We can win
It's OK to dream it
Feel it, maybe even steal it
We can win
Can't we go the distance?
We can win
When tomorrow comes, we're out of here
Pack some things, gonna be our year
Don't tell a soul I told you so
But I bet on us from the first time I saw you...
I knew we were going to
Win
It's OK to want it
Believe it, maybe now we need it
We can win
It's OK to dream it
Feel it, maybe even steal it
We can win
Can't we go the distance?
We can win
Can we go the distance?
We can win
Forget the worlds against us?
We can win
We can win
Wild lyrics - Deacon Blue
When I come home
We'll go out
We'll breathe in our dream again
And sing out loud
We'll dare that rain
Or fires or flood
To wash us all away
But nothing could
And we won't stop every believing
This world would allow us to leave
And no one can stand in our way
We know that the happiest places are
Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild
Do you remember
When we were young?
All the days we had ahead of us
We never saw coming
The hours we lost
Just for love
Won't stop ever believing
We could be blood
And we won't stop every believing
This world would allow us to leave
And no one can stand in our way
We know that the happiest places are
Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild
We'll go out
We'll breathe in our dream again
And sing out loud
We'll dare that rain
Or fires or flood
To wash us all away
But nothing could
And we won't stop every believing
This world would allow us to leave
And no one can stand in our way
We know that the happiest places are
Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild
Do you remember
When we were young?
All the days we had ahead of us
We never saw coming
The hours we lost
Just for love
Won't stop ever believing
We could be blood
And we won't stop every believing
This world would allow us to leave
And no one can stand in our way
We know that the happiest places are
Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild
March lyrics - Deacon Blue
This miracle of spring is all that matters now
Hard light warm earth buried deep below
There's a scent and a sense that winter's over
One last hard fight won before we go
We want, we want, we want
To feel the sun, the warm, the light
From March to May
Nothing in this long life delights like spring
Nothing's as strong
And nothing will match the joy it brings
Bloom throughout the streets for your survival
Bloom to show the world you're alive
We want, we want, we want
To feel the sun, the warm, the light
From March to May
From March to May
The thrust the trust
The march to May
The will to work to pay the pain the hurt
The march to Mayday
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want
We want, we want, we want
To feel the sun, the warm, the light
From March to May
From March to May
I want the rush the push of every shoot
The thrust the trust
The march to May
The march to May
Hard light warm earth buried deep below
There's a scent and a sense that winter's over
One last hard fight won before we go
We want, we want, we want
To feel the sun, the warm, the light
From March to May
Nothing in this long life delights like spring
Nothing's as strong
And nothing will match the joy it brings
Bloom throughout the streets for your survival
Bloom to show the world you're alive
We want, we want, we want
To feel the sun, the warm, the light
From March to May
From March to May
The thrust the trust
The march to May
The will to work to pay the pain the hurt
The march to Mayday
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want
We want, we want, we want
To feel the sun, the warm, the light
From March to May
From March to May
I want the rush the push of every shoot
The thrust the trust
The march to May
The march to May
Our New Land lyrics - Deacon Blue
And so here comes the dream
I seem to have each night
We are racing up that hill
In case we lose the light
Even then, nothings certain
We think we cannot make it
Unill we're just about to break
Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land
From here the land is still
There's nothing going on
Then twinkling out of darkness
All the lights come on
And even then, we'll never know
If they're there for celebration
Or just to show us the way home
Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land
So many times I've doubted it
Prepared myself for disappointment
Wondering if it really still exists
Our new land
Oh yes all revolutions seem to be impossible
Until the moment just before it happens
It happens
It happens
It happens
Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land
So many times I've doubted it
Prepared myself for disappointment
Wondering if it really still exists
Our new land
Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land
I seem to have each night
We are racing up that hill
In case we lose the light
Even then, nothings certain
We think we cannot make it
Unill we're just about to break
Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land
From here the land is still
There's nothing going on
Then twinkling out of darkness
All the lights come on
And even then, we'll never know
If they're there for celebration
Or just to show us the way home
Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land
So many times I've doubted it
Prepared myself for disappointment
Wondering if it really still exists
Our new land
Oh yes all revolutions seem to be impossible
Until the moment just before it happens
It happens
It happens
It happens
Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land
So many times I've doubted it
Prepared myself for disappointment
Wondering if it really still exists
Our new land
Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land
I Remember Every Single Kiss lyrics - Deacon Blue
Forgotten all the names, forgotten all the girls
Forgotten all the chords, forgotten all the words
Forgotten all the barbs, forgotten why they hurt
Forgotten all the guilt, forgotten why it mattered
Summer
Beaches
Sunlight
I remember every single
Corner
Side street
Cold spell
I remember every single kiss
Forgotten all the verbs, forgotten all the rhymes
Forgotten every crook, forgotten every crime
Forgotten very town, forgotten every sign
Forgotten every hack, forgotten every headline
Winter
Frozen
The road home
I remember every single
Pavement
You took me
Touched me
I remember every single kiss
Shadows
Walkway
The old bridge
I remember every single
Garden
In springtime
The bird song
I remember every single kiss
Forgotten all the chords, forgotten all the words
Forgotten all the barbs, forgotten why they hurt
Forgotten all the guilt, forgotten why it mattered
Summer
Beaches
Sunlight
I remember every single
Corner
Side street
Cold spell
I remember every single kiss
Forgotten all the verbs, forgotten all the rhymes
Forgotten every crook, forgotten every crime
Forgotten very town, forgotten every sign
Forgotten every hack, forgotten every headline
Winter
Frozen
The road home
I remember every single
Pavement
You took me
Touched me
I remember every single kiss
Shadows
Walkway
The old bridge
I remember every single
Garden
In springtime
The bird song
I remember every single kiss
Here I Am In London Town lyrics - Deacon Blue
Here I am in London town
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in
Here I am in London town
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in
I’m amazed at you now
You don’t see the world turn like I do
I’m amazed at you now
I can feel the weight of the whole world
You see it much more clearly than I can ever did
Here I am in London town
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in
I can picture you now
But there’s still so much I can’t remember
And so much to forget
But it’s forgetting that makes it easy
That’s how we survive
Here I am in London town
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in
Here I am in London town
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in
I’m amazed at you now
You don’t see the world turn like I do
I’m amazed at you now
I can feel the weight of the whole world
You see it much more clearly than I can ever did
Here I am in London town
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in
I can picture you now
But there’s still so much I can’t remember
And so much to forget
But it’s forgetting that makes it easy
That’s how we survive
Here I am in London town
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in
The Hipsters lyrics - Deacon Blue
All, all those waves
And that old sun
Shining
So drive
Drive to the coast
And let the water
Surround you
I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining
Friends, who needs friends?
When there’s a road
And an ocean
I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining
When I let the dream
Die slowly down
Did I do it right
Or was I wrong?
I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining, falling
Glistening, diving...
And that old sun
Shining
So drive
Drive to the coast
And let the water
Surround you
I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining
Friends, who needs friends?
When there’s a road
And an ocean
I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining
When I let the dream
Die slowly down
Did I do it right
Or was I wrong?
I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining, falling
Glistening, diving...
Stars lyrics - Deacon Blue
You won’t believe the dirt, the rain the wind the snow
The endless roads I seemed to travel down
Trying to get to you
And when I’m finally there, I find you in a hole
I realize we don’t know what to do
Nothing seems to change
This cruel world seems full of such unhappiness
If our lives collide we may get out of this
Every day is like, the next one comes along
It seems the same as all the other ones
Will it ever change?
People can be easily destroyed I guess
We’re only just a word away from happiness
We can catch a rocket ship and fly away
Through meteors and moons and galaxies
To the avenue
Of stars
Stars
Surges of light
Breaking the dark
Street lamps in summer rain storms
Shining across this universe
Shining across this universe
This cruel world seems full of such unhappiness
If our lives collide then we’ll get out of this
We’ll soar into the never ending universe
Nothing else but gravity will limit us
We will ride our rocket ship and fly away
Through meteors and moons and galaxies
To the avenue
Of stars
Stars
We'll go, we'll go, we'll go, we'll go
We'll go, we'll go, we'll go, we'll go
We'll go, we'll go, we'll go, we'll go
We'll go, we'll go, we'll go, we'll go
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Turn lyrics - Deacon Blue
Here I am thinking we’re alright
Candle burned, half asleep
Starts to deepen
Then I remember how you looked at him last night
Too soft, too long
Why don’t you keep him?
You walk and I’ll run
You talk and I’ll fight
You cry and I’ll shout
You’re cold but I’m on fire
And I could turn like an animal that knows you’ve got a gun
Pointing at her heart only this time you’ll better try hard when you run
Cause I could turn like a wild fire that catches on the wind
Only this time, to be certain, just in case you’re wondering
I can turn
You know me, I hate getting angry
Cause when there’s love, that’s enough
I like forgetting
So why do you do it? You just let yourself down
Because you’re weak, because you could,
Cause you let him?
You walk and I’ll run
You talk and I’ll fight
You cry I’ll shout
You’re cold but I’m on fire
And I could turn like an animal
Now I’m down, don’t corner me
Don’t make me turn
Only this time, just in case you’re wondering
I could turn like an animal that knows you’ve got a gun
Pointing at her heart only this time you’ll better try hard when you run
Cause I could turn like a wild fire that catches on the wind
Only this time, to be certain, just in case you’re wondering
I can turn
Candle burned, half asleep
Starts to deepen
Then I remember how you looked at him last night
Too soft, too long
Why don’t you keep him?
You walk and I’ll run
You talk and I’ll fight
You cry and I’ll shout
You’re cold but I’m on fire
And I could turn like an animal that knows you’ve got a gun
Pointing at her heart only this time you’ll better try hard when you run
Cause I could turn like a wild fire that catches on the wind
Only this time, to be certain, just in case you’re wondering
I can turn
You know me, I hate getting angry
Cause when there’s love, that’s enough
I like forgetting
So why do you do it? You just let yourself down
Because you’re weak, because you could,
Cause you let him?
You walk and I’ll run
You talk and I’ll fight
You cry I’ll shout
You’re cold but I’m on fire
And I could turn like an animal
Now I’m down, don’t corner me
Don’t make me turn
Only this time, just in case you’re wondering
I could turn like an animal that knows you’ve got a gun
Pointing at her heart only this time you’ll better try hard when you run
Cause I could turn like a wild fire that catches on the wind
Only this time, to be certain, just in case you’re wondering
I can turn
The Rest lyrics - Deacon Blue
I don’t know what I’m doing
Damn sure I’m no longer looking
Maybe I’m made motionless by truth
Up all night watching it raining
Up all night hesitating
Guess that there’s the rest
And then there is you
There’s no easier thing to say
The world is out there but it gets in the way
I don’t know what to say
Don’t know how to say it through
I only know that in this life
There’s the rest
And there is you
I don’t know where I’m going
Know full well I can’t start caring
Nothing seems to matter more than now
This night sky’s full of warning
But I’m going on through till morning
Need to stop and think but don’t know how
There’s hundreds of things to do
But I just want to spend my hours with you
I don’t know what to say
Don’t know how to say it through
I only know that in this life
There’s the rest
And there is you
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
I don’t know what to say
Don’t know how to say it through
I only know that in this life
There’s the rest
And there is you
Damn sure I’m no longer looking
Maybe I’m made motionless by truth
Up all night watching it raining
Up all night hesitating
Guess that there’s the rest
And then there is you
There’s no easier thing to say
The world is out there but it gets in the way
I don’t know what to say
Don’t know how to say it through
I only know that in this life
There’s the rest
And there is you
I don’t know where I’m going
Know full well I can’t start caring
Nothing seems to matter more than now
This night sky’s full of warning
But I’m going on through till morning
Need to stop and think but don’t know how
There’s hundreds of things to do
But I just want to spend my hours with you
I don’t know what to say
Don’t know how to say it through
I only know that in this life
There’s the rest
And there is you
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
I don’t know what to say
Don’t know how to say it through
I only know that in this life
There’s the rest
And there is you
The Outsiders lyrics - Deacon Blue
What to wear?
How to go?
Do we take the train?
Or take your car?
Are you innocent
Of everything?
Didn’t know you
And yet, you showed me
We took the road, any road, every road out of here
Forgot the past, cut the strands, made a path, took a stand
Chased the day, raced the night, grabbed our chance didn’t look
Back to where we’d come from
So we kept right on running
And this world seemed so much lighter
When we were the outsiders
But I didn’t want
Anything
I could only give
Everything
I lost my heart
Every time
Are we too old
To be innocent?
We took the road, any road, every road out of here
Forgot the past, cut the strands, made a path, took a stand
Chased the day, raced the night, grabbed our chance didn’t look
Back to where we’d come from
So we kept right on running
And this world seemed so much lighter
When we were the outsiders
Are we so old
Don’t care any more?
Where we had to come from
So we kept right on running
And this world seemed so much lighter
When we were the outsiders
How to go?
Do we take the train?
Or take your car?
Are you innocent
Of everything?
Didn’t know you
And yet, you showed me
We took the road, any road, every road out of here
Forgot the past, cut the strands, made a path, took a stand
Chased the day, raced the night, grabbed our chance didn’t look
Back to where we’d come from
So we kept right on running
And this world seemed so much lighter
When we were the outsiders
But I didn’t want
Anything
I could only give
Everything
I lost my heart
Every time
Are we too old
To be innocent?
We took the road, any road, every road out of here
Forgot the past, cut the strands, made a path, took a stand
Chased the day, raced the night, grabbed our chance didn’t look
Back to where we’d come from
So we kept right on running
And this world seemed so much lighter
When we were the outsiders
Are we so old
Don’t care any more?
Where we had to come from
So we kept right on running
And this world seemed so much lighter
When we were the outsiders
That's What We Can Do lyrics - Deacon Blue
In your room last night when you were out
Saw your ticket stubs, unread books, your photographs
Saw your rings and the things that you forgot about
Looked around at the mess I’d sooner you’d not left,
I sat down on the floor and I realised
I’m here, you’re gone, I’m lost and I finally know why
We trust, we change, we move from one place to another
Cause that’s what we can do
We talk, forgive we give - everything that love allows
Cause that’s what we can do
Looking out from your bedroom window to the dark
Thought about the times we used to fight, you used to cry
Couldn’t see where you’d gone or if you’re coming back
Wondered if you’d had the same thoughts, same time
Staring hard out that window I could see my eyes
I’m here, you’re gone, I’m lost and I finally know why
We trust, we change, we move from one place to another
Cause that’s what we can do
We talk, forgive we give - everything that love allows
Cause that’s what we can do
We trust, we change, we move from one place to another
Cause that’s what we can do
We talk, forgive we give - everything that love allows
Cause that’s what we can do
Saw your ticket stubs, unread books, your photographs
Saw your rings and the things that you forgot about
Looked around at the mess I’d sooner you’d not left,
I sat down on the floor and I realised
I’m here, you’re gone, I’m lost and I finally know why
We trust, we change, we move from one place to another
Cause that’s what we can do
We talk, forgive we give - everything that love allows
Cause that’s what we can do
Looking out from your bedroom window to the dark
Thought about the times we used to fight, you used to cry
Couldn’t see where you’d gone or if you’re coming back
Wondered if you’d had the same thoughts, same time
Staring hard out that window I could see my eyes
I’m here, you’re gone, I’m lost and I finally know why
We trust, we change, we move from one place to another
Cause that’s what we can do
We talk, forgive we give - everything that love allows
Cause that’s what we can do
We trust, we change, we move from one place to another
Cause that’s what we can do
We talk, forgive we give - everything that love allows
Cause that’s what we can do
She'll Understand lyrics - Deacon Blue
She is going away again
Back to the place where she came from
A big, black plane just crossed the sky
Casting a shadow where we used to lie
Everything she once said’s ringing
But I’m past the point of trying to think
And I can’t help wanting to go out
And drink, fight and take on the whole world
I know it doesn’t make sense to you, how
Can it make things better for me, but I just know
She’ll understand
She’ll understand
She is starting to drift away
Have I forgotten the things she said
She left the clothes she never wore
And I can’t stand them any more
Every time the door blows open
I think you’re back, by I’m just hoping
And I can’t help wanting to go out
And drink, fight and take on the whole world
I know it doesn’t make sense to you, how
Can it make things better for me, but I just know
She’ll understand
She’ll understand
Something about this
It just doesn’t feel right
There’s a way out
That I don’t know
And I can’t help wanting to go out
And drink, fight and take on the whole world
I know it doesn’t make sense to you, how
Can it make things better for me, but I just know
She’ll understand
She’ll understand
Back to the place where she came from
A big, black plane just crossed the sky
Casting a shadow where we used to lie
Everything she once said’s ringing
But I’m past the point of trying to think
And I can’t help wanting to go out
And drink, fight and take on the whole world
I know it doesn’t make sense to you, how
Can it make things better for me, but I just know
She’ll understand
She’ll understand
She is starting to drift away
Have I forgotten the things she said
She left the clothes she never wore
And I can’t stand them any more
Every time the door blows open
I think you’re back, by I’m just hoping
And I can’t help wanting to go out
And drink, fight and take on the whole world
I know it doesn’t make sense to you, how
Can it make things better for me, but I just know
She’ll understand
She’ll understand
Something about this
It just doesn’t feel right
There’s a way out
That I don’t know
And I can’t help wanting to go out
And drink, fight and take on the whole world
I know it doesn’t make sense to you, how
Can it make things better for me, but I just know
She’ll understand
She’ll understand
Laura From Memory lyrics - Deacon Blue
Laura you can’t write back now
And you can’t stop my time running out
You can’t laugh and you can’t sing
And you can’t share the things I think
But the wall, the clouds the misty light
The pylons reaching to the sky
The bridge, the ramp the ferry road
Everything I can’t let go
Your face your smile your words your breath
The cheap mementos I’ve got left
The look of fear ‘don’t leave me now’
Don’t leave me now
I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that’s never enough
Laura give me one last night
Before you take that long, dark drive
One last time all on our own
Just us, a room and words. Alone.
And the world, the seas the beach the sound
The towns that nearly brought you down
The dread of night, the fear of dawn
The certainty this life’s gone wrong
The sleeps, the pills, the tears the rage
The years of hope, the missing days
Let them all just slip away
Slip away now
I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that’s never enough
We wait, we hope, we pray
For the night to go away
I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that’s never enough
And you can’t stop my time running out
You can’t laugh and you can’t sing
And you can’t share the things I think
But the wall, the clouds the misty light
The pylons reaching to the sky
The bridge, the ramp the ferry road
Everything I can’t let go
Your face your smile your words your breath
The cheap mementos I’ve got left
The look of fear ‘don’t leave me now’
Don’t leave me now
I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that’s never enough
Laura give me one last night
Before you take that long, dark drive
One last time all on our own
Just us, a room and words. Alone.
And the world, the seas the beach the sound
The towns that nearly brought you down
The dread of night, the fear of dawn
The certainty this life’s gone wrong
The sleeps, the pills, the tears the rage
The years of hope, the missing days
Let them all just slip away
Slip away now
I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that’s never enough
We wait, we hope, we pray
For the night to go away
I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that’s never enough
It Will End In Tears lyrics - Deacon Blue
So now I understand
The differences I’ve seen
Between the grown man
And the boy he’s been
It’s a simple plan:
You make it through the day
Till night comes again
To let those dreams escape~
Of falling down and drowning
Of flying over buildings
Of rescue and reunion
For the ones you love
You know the truth
All laughter dies
And even you
Knows this world will end
People change
And people go
And most times we know
It will end in tears
There’s a constant pull
To keep us spinning round
See the stars appear
And the seasons come
This old world goes on
And people get things done
One man sets a clock
For how high the tide will come
To mark out every ending
And welcome each beginning
Of rescue and reunion
For the ones you love
You know the truth
All laughter dies
And even you
Knows this world will end
People change
And people go
And most times we know
It will end in tears
The differences I’ve seen
Between the grown man
And the boy he’s been
It’s a simple plan:
You make it through the day
Till night comes again
To let those dreams escape~
Of falling down and drowning
Of flying over buildings
Of rescue and reunion
For the ones you love
You know the truth
All laughter dies
And even you
Knows this world will end
People change
And people go
And most times we know
It will end in tears
There’s a constant pull
To keep us spinning round
See the stars appear
And the seasons come
This old world goes on
And people get things done
One man sets a clock
For how high the tide will come
To mark out every ending
And welcome each beginning
Of rescue and reunion
For the ones you love
You know the truth
All laughter dies
And even you
Knows this world will end
People change
And people go
And most times we know
It will end in tears
Is There No Way Back To You lyrics - Deacon Blue
The will to love goes on and on
From the dawn of time till the lights are gone
So how do you carry the sorrow?
How do you know when to let go?
Is there no way back to you
Is there no way back to you
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
You said I lost your heart back then
But it was not mine to break or bend
So how do you carry the sorrow?
How do you know when to let go
Is there no way back to you
Is there no way back to you
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love
How do you carry this sorrow?
How do you know when to let go?
Is there no way back to you
Is there no way back to you
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love
This love
From the dawn of time till the lights are gone
So how do you carry the sorrow?
How do you know when to let go?
Is there no way back to you
Is there no way back to you
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
You said I lost your heart back then
But it was not mine to break or bend
So how do you carry the sorrow?
How do you know when to let go
Is there no way back to you
Is there no way back to you
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love
How do you carry this sorrow?
How do you know when to let go?
Is there no way back to you
Is there no way back to you
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love
This love
Rae lyrics - Deacon Blue
I can't go with you
And I can't let you go
You can't be with me
So I won't let it show
I don't want you to know
So I'll just have to let you go
I'm going to love you so much better
You'll forget the error of my ways
I'm sending you the good I wished I'd given you
Oh how I miss you Rae
Some day you might well laugh at this
As memories of love all shift and time slips away
So don't cry honey
You can't see everything
But the wind still dries your tears
And the sun will keep you living
I just want you to see
My love's unseen but still keeps seeking
I'm going to love you so much better
You'll forget the error of my ways
I'm sending you the good I wished I'd given you
Oh how I miss you Rae
Some day you might well laugh at this
As memories of love all shift and time slips away
Oh Rae
Oh Rae
And I can't let you go
You can't be with me
So I won't let it show
I don't want you to know
So I'll just have to let you go
I'm going to love you so much better
You'll forget the error of my ways
I'm sending you the good I wished I'd given you
Oh how I miss you Rae
Some day you might well laugh at this
As memories of love all shift and time slips away
So don't cry honey
You can't see everything
But the wind still dries your tears
And the sun will keep you living
I just want you to see
My love's unseen but still keeps seeking
I'm going to love you so much better
You'll forget the error of my ways
I'm sending you the good I wished I'd given you
Oh how I miss you Rae
Some day you might well laugh at this
As memories of love all shift and time slips away
Oh Rae
Oh Rae
Out There lyrics - Deacon Blue
I got something and I know it's true
Cause I know you're out there
We all want somebody like you
Cause we all know that you're out there
Animal boys and earthen girls
Are meeting out there
All the friends made in the world
Are waiting out there
I got lost and it all went black
But I saw the light and I got you back
We only love the way we do
Cause there's something out there
Under the stars when it's late at night
I know you're out there
Something knocking and it can't be right
Means we need you're out there
In the city there's a million prayers
Going to someone out there
I found love and it was burning bright
Cause I saw it out there
Beautiful stories you've never heard
Trust me baby you can lean on the wind
We only love the way we do
Cause there's someone out there
Robert Johnson, Harmonica Frank
Digging it out there
Jimmy Rogers on the last train back
Sounds better out there
I got lost and it all went black
But I saw the light and I got you back
We only love the way we do
Cause there's something out there
Cause I know you're out there
We all want somebody like you
Cause we all know that you're out there
Animal boys and earthen girls
Are meeting out there
All the friends made in the world
Are waiting out there
I got lost and it all went black
But I saw the light and I got you back
We only love the way we do
Cause there's something out there
Under the stars when it's late at night
I know you're out there
Something knocking and it can't be right
Means we need you're out there
In the city there's a million prayers
Going to someone out there
I found love and it was burning bright
Cause I saw it out there
Beautiful stories you've never heard
Trust me baby you can lean on the wind
We only love the way we do
Cause there's someone out there
Robert Johnson, Harmonica Frank
Digging it out there
Jimmy Rogers on the last train back
Sounds better out there
I got lost and it all went black
But I saw the light and I got you back
We only love the way we do
Cause there's something out there
This Train Will Take You Anywhere lyrics - Deacon Blue
Down by the beach road
Crawling through the undergrowth
Stand by the railing
And look along
Put your ear to the ground
Listen for a while
Till all the tracks start
Humming and buzzing
Then the roar comes
And it's louder than the drums
Cause it's tons and tons and tons
Of steel going faster
Now maybe I'm on the bridge
And near the very edge
And I'm waiting for the train
To pass under
It's got fifteen carriages
Each one saying what it is
This is bigger than anything
That'll ever go past you
It drowns out what you say
And it blows the dust away
And it makes it's own way
We can't stop it
This train will take you anywhere
This train will take you anywhere
You want to go
I'm on the border
Berlin to Warsaw
I can't tell the things I saw
You'd see them anyway
It's the same where you go
Hanol to Bangalore
From Belize to Bogato
You can ride on
Get on at the platform
Keep your eyes on the land
And see the colours all change
And the world all open
This train will take you anywhere
And you can see anything
You can sleep or you can imagine
This train will take you anywhere
You want to go
Crawling through the undergrowth
Stand by the railing
And look along
Put your ear to the ground
Listen for a while
Till all the tracks start
Humming and buzzing
Then the roar comes
And it's louder than the drums
Cause it's tons and tons and tons
Of steel going faster
Now maybe I'm on the bridge
And near the very edge
And I'm waiting for the train
To pass under
It's got fifteen carriages
Each one saying what it is
This is bigger than anything
That'll ever go past you
It drowns out what you say
And it blows the dust away
And it makes it's own way
We can't stop it
This train will take you anywhere
This train will take you anywhere
You want to go
I'm on the border
Berlin to Warsaw
I can't tell the things I saw
You'd see them anyway
It's the same where you go
Hanol to Bangalore
From Belize to Bogato
You can ride on
Get on at the platform
Keep your eyes on the land
And see the colours all change
And the world all open
This train will take you anywhere
And you can see anything
You can sleep or you can imagine
This train will take you anywhere
You want to go
Every Time You Sleep lyrics - Deacon Blue
I go to work
And I get in early
Lying to myself I need to be there
I pass the church
And all the hurly burly
Of all the people as they walk without a care
How I'd love to tell them of how I get so happy
Maybe now's not the time
But when's it going to be right?
I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep
You walk to work
And I walk out with you
Lying to the people that we're together
You cross the street
To catch the waterloo train
And I slink back to walk the quiet way back home
How I'd love to sing about what gets me happy
Maybe now's the time
Maybe it's alright?
I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep
I want to get on the telephone
I want to call everyone
I want to know what to say when you mean it
I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep
Every time you sleep
Every time you sleep
And I get in early
Lying to myself I need to be there
I pass the church
And all the hurly burly
Of all the people as they walk without a care
How I'd love to tell them of how I get so happy
Maybe now's not the time
But when's it going to be right?
I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep
You walk to work
And I walk out with you
Lying to the people that we're together
You cross the street
To catch the waterloo train
And I slink back to walk the quiet way back home
How I'd love to sing about what gets me happy
Maybe now's the time
Maybe it's alright?
I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep
I want to get on the telephone
I want to call everyone
I want to know what to say when you mean it
I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep
Every time you sleep
Every time you sleep
Now That You're Here lyrics - Deacon Blue
Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around
If you're thinking of looking at setting me free
Be sure and tell me baby, so I can see
Cause you can charm the birds down from that old oak tree
Someday I know I'm scared it's gonna be me
These are just the sad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now that you're here
Are we awake or are we asleep?
Is there something, something you really need?
Your love, your love, your love is what makes me believe
It keeps raging so hard it brings me peace
These are just the sad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now that you're here
Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around
These are just the sad times
Don't imagine things just can't get better
These are just the bad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now that you're here
Everything's got easier since you've been around
If you're thinking of looking at setting me free
Be sure and tell me baby, so I can see
Cause you can charm the birds down from that old oak tree
Someday I know I'm scared it's gonna be me
These are just the sad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now that you're here
Are we awake or are we asleep?
Is there something, something you really need?
Your love, your love, your love is what makes me believe
It keeps raging so hard it brings me peace
These are just the sad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now that you're here
Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around
These are just the sad times
Don't imagine things just can't get better
These are just the bad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now that you're here
Silverlake lyrics - Deacon Blue
Forty men in a paper boat
No plan to hand just tearing a hole
To get the water out
Got together on a phone-in show
Oh how we love that talk radio
No one else say's it like that
Here we are now a-singing songs
We all know where it all went wrong
We're going to put it right
Oh yeah
One night up at silverlake
John the taxi and Willy the brake
Said all the things that needed said
We named and shamed
And stuck it out on the web
Sorted it at silverlake
Try some of these and turn down all the lights
You might find love unusually nice
More if you care for her
I went on the TV twice
Once for the money and once for advice
I tell it like it is
Come up and see us
One night up at silverlake
The place was jumping, people goin' ape
All the paper and the news
Was waiting for us to say
Let the oil trucks roll away
Won't forget us in a hurry
All the boys down at silverlake
One night up at silverlake
John the taxi and Willy the brake
Said all the things that needed said
One night up at silverlake
John the taxi and Willy the brake
Said all the things that needed said
We named and shamed
And stuck it out on the web
Sorted it at silverlake
One night up at silverlake
John the taxi and Willy the brake
Said all the things that needed said
We named and shamed
And stuck it out on the web
Sorted it at night at silverlake
No plan to hand just tearing a hole
To get the water out
Got together on a phone-in show
Oh how we love that talk radio
No one else say's it like that
Here we are now a-singing songs
We all know where it all went wrong
We're going to put it right
Oh yeah
One night up at silverlake
John the taxi and Willy the brake
Said all the things that needed said
We named and shamed
And stuck it out on the web
Sorted it at silverlake
Try some of these and turn down all the lights
You might find love unusually nice
More if you care for her
I went on the TV twice
Once for the money and once for advice
I tell it like it is
Come up and see us
One night up at silverlake
The place was jumping, people goin' ape
All the paper and the news
Was waiting for us to say
Let the oil trucks roll away
Won't forget us in a hurry
All the boys down at silverlake
One night up at silverlake

A Is For Astronaut lyrics - Deacon Blue
You don't have to be grateful
For all the world's ills
There's plenty of people
Never seen the white cliffs of Dover
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
Got caught in the headlights
Saying something special
There's never a moment
When the beat stops long enough to hear the message
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
We all get stuck and we don't know why
We think there's no place we can go to
We need to trip on to
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
For all the world's ills
There's plenty of people
Never seen the white cliffs of Dover
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
Got caught in the headlights
Saying something special
There's never a moment
When the beat stops long enough to hear the message
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
We all get stuck and we don't know why
We think there's no place we can go to
We need to trip on to
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
Beautifully Still lyrics - Deacon Blue
Send me down my future
From your wheel of fire
Let me only fly
On your wings of desire
What happened to that ride
On your chariot of gold
It had only lasted minutes
From the centuries you hold
What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
I want us to be closer
In fifty years or more
Getting young not older
Like we were here before
But your quarters are all sullied
Your alter boys asleep
Your priests have drunk the wine
You meant us all to keep
What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
I'm not saying your dead
I just think you've changed
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
From your wheel of fire
Let me only fly
On your wings of desire
What happened to that ride
On your chariot of gold
It had only lasted minutes
From the centuries you hold
What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
I want us to be closer
In fifty years or more
Getting young not older
Like we were here before
But your quarters are all sullied
Your alter boys asleep
Your priests have drunk the wine
You meant us all to keep
What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
I'm not saying your dead
I just think you've changed
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
Homesick lyrics - Deacon Blue
There's me and daddy out at Lunan Bay
Now looking dandy stepping out Saturday
I can still see the buses
Lined up to take the dancing home
That's me on the stairs suitcase in hand
Kidding on but knowing that one day he planned
To leave all that behind
And see what the big smoke's saying
These are just some photographs talking
Make it look easy
To imagine just walking
Back into someone's arms
And feeling
Homesick
Homesick
Homesick
Maybe you have a question too
You recognize a face in unfamiliar shoes
You don't see a man just someone broken down
Standing in front of you
This could be just a photograph talking
I make it look easy
To get up and start walking
Back out of these arms
And feeling
Homesick
Homesick
Homesick
I'm just
Homesick
Homesick
Homesick
Now looking dandy stepping out Saturday
I can still see the buses
Lined up to take the dancing home
That's me on the stairs suitcase in hand
Kidding on but knowing that one day he planned
To leave all that behind
And see what the big smoke's saying
These are just some photographs talking
Make it look easy
To imagine just walking
Back into someone's arms
And feeling
Homesick
Homesick
Homesick
Maybe you have a question too
You recognize a face in unfamiliar shoes
You don't see a man just someone broken down
Standing in front of you
This could be just a photograph talking
I make it look easy
To get up and start walking
Back out of these arms
And feeling
Homesick
Homesick
Homesick
I'm just
Homesick
Homesick
Homesick
Even Higher Ground lyrics - Deacon Blue
I could almost weep
If I could only take your hand
we're so close to sleep
And so far from deliverance
Once in every lifetime
Love comes down
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Oh you came tumbling in
Like a river to the valley
Which will not be rolling green again
It's washed everything away
Well it stretches out so beautifully
Shows the heavens up above
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
I couldn't love you better
If I'd loved you all my life
You threw out all the questions
With one big breath - welcome to the world
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
If I could only take your hand
we're so close to sleep
And so far from deliverance
Once in every lifetime
Love comes down
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Oh you came tumbling in
Like a river to the valley
Which will not be rolling green again
It's washed everything away
Well it stretches out so beautifully
Shows the heavens up above
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
I couldn't love you better
If I'd loved you all my life
You threw out all the questions
With one big breath - welcome to the world
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
I Am Born lyrics - Deacon Blue
All the people in all the world
Will look for something that will keep it turning
Everyone's got to keep the will
Every boy every girl
I'm no different why the other day
I saw death like an ocean that could wash us away
The only comfort that I got was this
I once was unlovely and now I'm kissed
I am born
Aliver than the raging sea
Stranger than the strangest beasts
Than ever can be
After midnight and the night is black
You lie awake and the fear comes back
That your breath will stop
And this world will carry on
But I am born
Once there was nothing here
Not even the smell of fear
Nothing at all
Until you are born
Gasping out and in to open air
Taking hold of the atmosphere
And loving being born
Will look for something that will keep it turning
Everyone's got to keep the will
Every boy every girl
I'm no different why the other day
I saw death like an ocean that could wash us away
The only comfort that I got was this
I once was unlovely and now I'm kissed
I am born
Aliver than the raging sea
Stranger than the strangest beasts
Than ever can be
After midnight and the night is black
You lie awake and the fear comes back
That your breath will stop
And this world will carry on
But I am born
Once there was nothing here
Not even the smell of fear
Nothing at all
Until you are born
Gasping out and in to open air
Taking hold of the atmosphere
And loving being born

Love Hurts lyrics - Love Hurts
Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough nor strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh, ooh, love hurts
I'm young I know but even so
I know a thing or two I learnt from you
I really learnt a lot, really learnt a lot
Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, mmm, mmm, love hurts
Some fools dream of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh, ooh, love hurts
Any heart not tough nor strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh, ooh, love hurts
I'm young I know but even so
I know a thing or two I learnt from you
I really learnt a lot, really learnt a lot
Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, mmm, mmm, love hurts
Some fools dream of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh, ooh, love hurts
Jesus Do Your Hands Still Feel The Rain lyrics - Deacon Blue
Would the rain, the frozen rain
Be as cold upon your forehead
As the tears that plough your beaten face again
Would the rain
Could your hands, your grubby hands
Pull your coat around your shoulder
Steel yourself against the weather of the day
Could your hands
Here I stand
Just the same
Jesus do these hands still feel the rain
Here we go, winter long
Like sun bleeds down the valley
Or a black and oily river moves so slow
Here we go
Here I stand
Just the same
Jesus do these hands still feel the rain
Here I stand
Just the same
Jesus do your hands still feel the rain
Be as cold upon your forehead
As the tears that plough your beaten face again
Would the rain
Could your hands, your grubby hands
Pull your coat around your shoulder
Steel yourself against the weather of the day
Could your hands
Here I stand
Just the same
Jesus do these hands still feel the rain
Here we go, winter long
Like sun bleeds down the valley
Or a black and oily river moves so slow
Here we go
Here I stand
Just the same
Jesus do these hands still feel the rain
Here I stand
Just the same
Jesus do your hands still feel the rain
Christmas And Glasgow lyrics - Deacon Blue
He was lying in the half light
Of Christmas and Glasgow
Thinking and talking
Talking to St Enoch about
Christmas and Glasgow
Drinking and talking
And the sweet smell
Of the Kelvin Hall Circus
And the sweet smell lingered
Of her perfume and kisses
He needed to take one step
He was taking one step back
She knows the only danger
Of Christmas And Glasgow
Is you love too much
And she's thinking of years
At Christmas and Glasgow
When it meant too much
And walking in frost
Down in Cowcaddens
And the sweet smell
As they were lost in the garden
She needed to take one step
She was taking one step back
They could hear choirs, those heavenly choirs
Choirs of angels, those heavenly choirs
They needed to take one step
They were taking one step back
Of Christmas and Glasgow
Thinking and talking
Talking to St Enoch about
Christmas and Glasgow
Drinking and talking
And the sweet smell
Of the Kelvin Hall Circus
And the sweet smell lingered
Of her perfume and kisses
He needed to take one step
He was taking one step back
She knows the only danger
Of Christmas And Glasgow
Is you love too much
And she's thinking of years
At Christmas and Glasgow
When it meant too much
And walking in frost
Down in Cowcaddens
And the sweet smell
As they were lost in the garden
She needed to take one step
She was taking one step back
They could hear choirs, those heavenly choirs
Choirs of angels, those heavenly choirs
They needed to take one step
They were taking one step back
When You Are Young lyrics - Deacon Blue
When you were young and your heart was free
I'd run and meet you and rush to see
Just over the wall where the clouds roll by
And age and chance and tears were far away
Oh if heaven wouldn't see
Light lovers so distantly
Then look today at this love so free
When you are young again
When you were young and your eyes are old
Then all your treasures my hand can stroke
And all your memories and your sorrows are loosed
And blown and left so your lips may be touched
Oh if heaven wouldn't see
Light lovers so distantly
Then look today at this love so free
When you are young again
I'd run and meet you and rush to see
Just over the wall where the clouds roll by
And age and chance and tears were far away
Oh if heaven wouldn't see
Light lovers so distantly
Then look today at this love so free
When you are young again
When you were young and your eyes are old
Then all your treasures my hand can stroke
And all your memories and your sorrows are loosed
And blown and left so your lips may be touched
Oh if heaven wouldn't see
Light lovers so distantly
Then look today at this love so free
When you are young again
Plastic Shoes lyrics - Deacon Blue
Plastic shoes
Empty in the hall
Well, I gathered the news
That you'd gone after all
Whats left is this:
And from what I can recall
Theres something I've missed
And I have seen it all
You caught me drawn in the
Bathroom mirror
And said I looked a little older
Walking along on a beach at dawn
With your head upon my shoulder
In your plastic shoes
Broken and used on me
And what have we been through?
Are you watching alone
The same film I'm tuned to?
Do you still cry
When the doctor gives her the news?
Theres a big black bag of belts and hats
You wore to other weddings
A broken chain and a picture frame
That once held us together
I put out these shoes that I helped you choose
And I bolted all the doors
So they won't walk back...
Those plastic shoes
Oh you looked so good
That was all you wore
When I really understood
Some things need summer weather
Others want the dark
Some things work well together
But still keep falling apart
Empty in the hall
Well, I gathered the news
That you'd gone after all
Whats left is this:
And from what I can recall
Theres something I've missed
And I have seen it all
You caught me drawn in the
Bathroom mirror
And said I looked a little older
Walking along on a beach at dawn
With your head upon my shoulder
In your plastic shoes
Broken and used on me
And what have we been through?
Are you watching alone
The same film I'm tuned to?
Do you still cry
When the doctor gives her the news?
Theres a big black bag of belts and hats
You wore to other weddings
A broken chain and a picture frame
That once held us together
I put out these shoes that I helped you choose
And I bolted all the doors
So they won't walk back...
Those plastic shoes
Oh you looked so good
That was all you wore
When I really understood
Some things need summer weather
Others want the dark
Some things work well together
But still keep falling apart
Beautiful Stranger lyrics - Deacon Blue
Seven lonely days in a fifty ton lorry
I know you made me what I am
And I fall to pieces
Johnny Cash in black singin'
Understand your man from
St. Quentin crossing to Tarbert to Gigha
Oh lonesome me howled box car willie
Coming out of Tobermory to the sound
In the morning
Patsy Clines on the air say's I've loved and lost again
From now on all of my friends are gonna be strangers
So I fell in love with a beautiful stranger
It's just an arangement
I'll leave the first light of day
This one goes out
To my beautiful stranger
I slipped so quietly away
By the window where she stands
She counts the beads in her hand
And knows it wasn't God who planned to make
Honky tonk angels
She makes the bed all alone but a house
Without love is not a home plays on the radio
She says why can't he be you I hear
You've gone from Brown to blue
Since the holiday for two
But I don't need to know that right now
I love you so much it hurts he cursed
As his truck tyres lurched down the
Old dirt track road again
She fell in love with a beautiful stranger
There's no arangement
He leaves the first light of day
This one goes out to the beautiful stranger
Time slips so easily away
Time slips so easily away
Time slips so easily away
I know you made me what I am
And I fall to pieces
Johnny Cash in black singin'
Understand your man from
St. Quentin crossing to Tarbert to Gigha
Oh lonesome me howled box car willie
Coming out of Tobermory to the sound
In the morning
Patsy Clines on the air say's I've loved and lost again
From now on all of my friends are gonna be strangers
So I fell in love with a beautiful stranger
It's just an arangement
I'll leave the first light of day
This one goes out
To my beautiful stranger
I slipped so quietly away
By the window where she stands
She counts the beads in her hand
And knows it wasn't God who planned to make
Honky tonk angels
She makes the bed all alone but a house
Without love is not a home plays on the radio
She says why can't he be you I hear
You've gone from Brown to blue
Since the holiday for two
But I don't need to know that right now
I love you so much it hurts he cursed
As his truck tyres lurched down the
Old dirt track road again
She fell in love with a beautiful stranger
There's no arangement
He leaves the first light of day
This one goes out to the beautiful stranger
Time slips so easily away
Time slips so easily away
Time slips so easily away
All I Want lyrics - Deacon Blue
A cautious smile under the western sky
Would curl upwards like the wild sea
A special friend knowing all the ways of love
Would talk his way back inside a tiny second
Don't promise good intention
One in a thousand (maybe even me)
Don't know there are clouds in the sky
Sooner or later eveyone'll say the same thing
Baby, you already know
That all I want is to be with you
Call me over sooner
Call me right now
I'm standing underneath the blackest rolling sky
I don't know my way forward
I'm dizzy with the wind
Turning like a compass never true only spinning
All I want is to be with you
In the sad and lonely pines
Where no midday sun ever shines
As the clouds all float into thin air
Underneath the blackest sky somewhere
I hear the soul of man never dies
I hear that special will survive
Keeping time over the rolling roads
Staying with me as my thoughts all go
Chasing away in the green fields
Where every breath gives up and yields
To all I want
Would curl upwards like the wild sea
A special friend knowing all the ways of love
Would talk his way back inside a tiny second
Don't promise good intention
One in a thousand (maybe even me)
Don't know there are clouds in the sky
Sooner or later eveyone'll say the same thing
Baby, you already know
That all I want is to be with you
Call me over sooner
Call me right now
I'm standing underneath the blackest rolling sky
I don't know my way forward
I'm dizzy with the wind
Turning like a compass never true only spinning
All I want is to be with you
In the sad and lonely pines
Where no midday sun ever shines
As the clouds all float into thin air
Underneath the blackest sky somewhere
I hear the soul of man never dies
I hear that special will survive
Keeping time over the rolling roads
Staying with me as my thoughts all go
Chasing away in the green fields
Where every breath gives up and yields
To all I want
Walking Back Home lyrics - Deacon Blue
The stars and satellites
Are quiet over the hills tonight
And the cats' eyes and white lines
Are heading out for miles
The frost on the embankment
Keeps my feet on the road
But the tunes and beers
Are walking us back home
And we stopped any travellers
And wished them good new year
And we sang and we drunk
And we quarrelled and we cheered
And we felt the earth below
And we knew how good it was
Just walking back home
La La La La......La La La La......La La La La......La La La La
I left them at the circle
As the sun began to rise
And we walked the last few hundred yards
Back to my own house
I pulled my coat still closer
'Cause now I'm on my own
I've struck out for the first time
And now I'm walking back home
Warbeck sang
La La La La......La La La La......La La La La......La La La La
The Stacy's sang
La La La La......La La La La......La La La La......La La La La
Linda sang
La La La La......La La La La......La La La La......La La La La
Are quiet over the hills tonight
And the cats' eyes and white lines
Are heading out for miles
The frost on the embankment
Keeps my feet on the road
But the tunes and beers
Are walking us back home
And we stopped any travellers
And wished them good new year
And we sang and we drunk
And we quarrelled and we cheered
And we felt the earth below
And we knew how good it was
Just walking back home
La La La La......La La La La......La La La La......La La La La
I left them at the circle
As the sun began to rise
And we walked the last few hundred yards
Back to my own house
I pulled my coat still closer
'Cause now I'm on my own
I've struck out for the first time
And now I'm walking back home

Your Town lyrics - Deacon Blue
I wouldn't want to be you
Mostly not even near you
When you're gone they will curse you
And raise the tide against you
I no longer care now
For what you said was fair now
I just don't go there now
I just don't go
Maybe there's a way not to make it hurt
To cover up the words like you covered up the dirt
Ever since you left
It just gets worse
Living out in your town
Now let's say it like it is
I just don't know where to begin
It's a different way of living
It's so strange to what we've been
First we speak for ourselves now
And people know who we are now
And they wake up and they live now
Yes they wake up and they live
Maybe there's a way not to let it hurt
Tell it out in pictures
And songs and words
Do what we should not
To make it worse
Living out in your town
Mostly not even near you
When you're gone they will curse you
And raise the tide against you
I no longer care now
For what you said was fair now
I just don't go there now
I just don't go
Maybe there's a way not to make it hurt
To cover up the words like you covered up the dirt
Ever since you left
It just gets worse
Living out in your town
Now let's say it like it is
I just don't know where to begin
It's a different way of living
It's so strange to what we've been
First we speak for ourselves now
And people know who we are now
And they wake up and they live now
Yes they wake up and they live
Maybe there's a way not to let it hurt
Tell it out in pictures
And songs and words
Do what we should not
To make it worse
Living out in your town
Only Tender Love lyrics - Deacon Blue
Way out there in the wilderness
Of love and pain
Under the gentle arches we rode
The silver streets
Couldn't see a difference between gold or
Wooden cross
Could never see where we're falling
Came in to love
Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees
Only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was
Never was there once nothing
And everything once was
Not dead but still and ready to be born anew
Looking back now it all
Seems so clear
Like staring so long unseeing for someone to light inside a
Darkened room
Then try your tender love
Push you back till there's nowhere left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more
More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes to get home and have a love again
More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes
To get home and have a love
Then try your tender love
Push it till there's nothing left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more
Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees
Then only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was
Of love and pain
Under the gentle arches we rode
The silver streets
Couldn't see a difference between gold or
Wooden cross
Could never see where we're falling
Came in to love
Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees
Only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was
Never was there once nothing
And everything once was
Not dead but still and ready to be born anew
Looking back now it all
Seems so clear
Like staring so long unseeing for someone to light inside a
Darkened room
Then try your tender love
Push you back till there's nowhere left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more
More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes to get home and have a love again
More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes
To get home and have a love
Then try your tender love
Push it till there's nothing left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more
Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees
Then only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was
Peace, Jobs And Freedom lyrics - Deacon Blue
There comes a time in everybody's dream
When the stage is lighted and the
Words appear
And in the blackness
That it seems
A tiny little realization
Begins
And in my number
57 dream
I'm standing at the window
Of the world
And suddenly the
World begins to scream
We want the promise and the promise
Can be made
Who said the words
Who said the words
Peace and jobs
And Freedom
People say there's nothing
When you die
Tell you stories that will
Make you sigh
And beat up all your senses
Until you
Cry cry cry
All I'm saying is the words
Writ up in the great big holy sky
Who said the words
Who said the words
Peace and jobs
And freedom
Who said the words
Who said the words
Peace and jobs
And freedom
When the stage is lighted and the
Words appear
And in the blackness
That it seems
A tiny little realization
Begins
And in my number
57 dream
I'm standing at the window
Of the world
And suddenly the
World begins to scream
We want the promise and the promise
Can be made
Who said the words
Who said the words
Peace and jobs
And Freedom
People say there's nothing
When you die
Tell you stories that will
Make you sigh
And beat up all your senses
Until you
Cry cry cry
All I'm saying is the words
Writ up in the great big holy sky
Who said the words
Who said the words
Peace and jobs
And freedom
Who said the words
Who said the words
Peace and jobs
And freedom
Hang Your Head lyrics - Deacon Blue
There's no sleep inside
Their dreams are broke and inspired
All the times you try to
Scream
Houses dark indoors
And blinds are pulled and closed
Everything that needed
Change
And there's nothing wise
Or twice as good as nice
You save it all inside while you
Hang your head
Hang your head
Underneath it all
Your smile your smile your smile is flawed
And the songs you sing are only
Spoken
The promise of this child
You crossed your palms with silver crowns and the
People swore he's only
Choken
There's no promises
No light is ever shed
Between the living and dead
Hang your head
Hang your head
There's no promises
No light is ever shed
Between the living and dead
Their dreams are broke and inspired
All the times you try to
Scream
Houses dark indoors
And blinds are pulled and closed
Everything that needed
Change
And there's nothing wise
Or twice as good as nice
You save it all inside while you
Hang your head
Hang your head
Underneath it all
Your smile your smile your smile is flawed
And the songs you sing are only
Spoken
The promise of this child
You crossed your palms with silver crowns and the
People swore he's only
Choken
There's no promises
No light is ever shed
Between the living and dead
Hang your head
Hang your head
There's no promises
No light is ever shed
Between the living and dead
Bethlehem's Gate lyrics - Deacon Blue
There was a night
As purple as this
With a love so close
We longed to be missed
Summer '89
And everything stood
Sure and free and there
To be finished
I long to be there
As bright as the sky
At Bethlehem's gate
September again
You come so quick
So sudden your strength
So strong your kiss
The world groans and strains
For the hope of a time
Like a prayer that
Is wished and willed
To exist
Like knocking so hard
And trying to get through
To Bethlehem's gate
I'm chiding the heart
That the body will live
To question the power
And the gift of birth
To stand and grow and die
On the wasteland
That scorns the high temples
We build
And stand in the way
And darken the sky
At Bethlehem's gate
Stand in the way
And darken the sky
At Bethlehem's gate
As purple as this
With a love so close
We longed to be missed
Summer '89
And everything stood
Sure and free and there
To be finished
I long to be there
As bright as the sky
At Bethlehem's gate
September again
You come so quick
So sudden your strength
So strong your kiss
The world groans and strains
For the hope of a time
Like a prayer that
Is wished and willed
To exist
Like knocking so hard
And trying to get through
To Bethlehem's gate
I'm chiding the heart
That the body will live
To question the power
And the gift of birth
To stand and grow and die
On the wasteland
That scorns the high temples
We build
And stand in the way
And darken the sky
At Bethlehem's gate
Stand in the way
And darken the sky
At Bethlehem's gate
Last Night I Dreamed Of Henry Thomas lyrics - Deacon Blue
Lily love that's a
Beautiful name
Your precious gifts are not the same
Since they faded away
The song so distant
But it still rings true your
Beautiful hands were rudely used
To make things pay
Every minute of every day
You don't get angry 'bout what's taken away
Is only real life
Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will bring the sad heart
The cold heart
To love again
Last night I dreamed of
Henry Thomas in the
Delta light his rusty pipes
They drifted away
Standing in some
Dusty patch
It felt so close that I could almost catch
His breath on me
Every minute of every day
You don't get angry 'bout what's been taken away
Is only real life
Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will make the sad heart
The cold heart
To love again
Every minute of every day
You don't get angry 'bout what's been taken away
Is only real life
Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will make the sad heart
The cold heart
To love again
Last night I dreamed of
Henry Thomas and the blues
Beautiful name
Your precious gifts are not the same
Since they faded away
The song so distant
But it still rings true your
Beautiful hands were rudely used
To make things pay
Every minute of every day
You don't get angry 'bout what's taken away
Is only real life
Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will bring the sad heart
The cold heart
To love again
Last night I dreamed of
Henry Thomas in the
Delta light his rusty pipes
They drifted away
Standing in some
Dusty patch
It felt so close that I could almost catch
His breath on me
Every minute of every day
You don't get angry 'bout what's been taken away
Is only real life
Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will make the sad heart
The cold heart
To love again
Every minute of every day
You don't get angry 'bout what's been taken away
Is only real life
Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will make the sad heart
The cold heart
To love again
Last night I dreamed of
Henry Thomas and the blues
Will We Be Lovers lyrics - Deacon Blue
All my worries
All my care
Is held in check
For you not there
Evening comes
And darkness falls
We sit round
And curtain out
The black night
There is a time
Away
From here
Seasons pass
So quickly come
And steal the days
Your work has done
They leave the fields
So bare and grey
I long to hold
You there and say
It won't change
There is a time
Away
From here
There is a time
Away
From here
Will we be lovers
Or will we still be
Will we be lovers
Or will we still be
Will we be lovers
Or will we still be
Still be still be
All my care
Is held in check
For you not there
Evening comes
And darkness falls
We sit round
And curtain out
The black night
There is a time
Away
From here
Seasons pass
So quickly come
And steal the days
Your work has done
They leave the fields
So bare and grey
I long to hold
You there and say
It won't change
There is a time
Away
From here
There is a time
Away
From here
Will we be lovers
Or will we still be
Will we be lovers
Or will we still be
Will we be lovers
Or will we still be
Still be still be
Fall So Freely Down lyrics - Deacon Blue
Little baby don't just slip away
Without fight or push or
Saying anything
This is all you really
Get to say
And the only thing you
Listen in to
There are people to see
There are places to go
There are things to believe in
To believe in
So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
Till you fall so freely down
You can't just slip or fall or leave without talking
There's no goodbye without walking
The roads we travel for good
The ways we exit for bad
There are places to go
There are jobs to be done
There are things to believe in
To believe in
So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
Till you fall so freely down
Till you fall so freely down
Kick kick down
So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
So quiet is the life you beat with
And you tumble and kick and turn
Without fight or push or
Saying anything
This is all you really
Get to say
And the only thing you
Listen in to
There are people to see
There are places to go
There are things to believe in
To believe in
So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
Till you fall so freely down
You can't just slip or fall or leave without talking
There's no goodbye without walking
The roads we travel for good
The ways we exit for bad
There are places to go
There are jobs to be done
There are things to believe in
To believe in
So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
Till you fall so freely down
Till you fall so freely down
Kick kick down
So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
So quiet is the life you beat with
And you tumble and kick and turn
Cut Lip lyrics - Deacon Blue
15 books in
Different covers
Winter comes in
Many colours
Kids toys broken glasses Elvis live in Vegas
He's still turning
All the worthless things
We're paying in
Pounds of sugar
Here it comes
Blankets from the
Social fund
Snooker balls and Spanish divers rocks full
Of cat hair
All the worthless things
For the warrants sake
Maybe you'll be so kind and take the shirt right from my back
That's got my kid I'd even smile for you
With my cut lip
With my cut lip
With my cut lip
With my cut lip
Talkin' away
My rent is due
Didn't get my
Last few
Playing on the satellite dish
Finally nights to switch to
Blue filmsloon tunes
Purple moons
Every motherfucker
Will be on it soon
Maybe you'll be so kind and take the shirt right from my back
That's got my kid I'd even smile for you

All Over The World lyrics -
All over the world
The wild wild wind
Rips through the mighty words
We kept ourselves warm with
And all over this love
Has never been stronger
All Jericho's walls
They gently fall
I've been waiting for a golden
Bright milleniun
Waking early for the Union bonds being broken
Then gone
All over the world
All over the world
All over the world
All over the world
I've been searching for a new new
Song of freedom
Where no flag of conquest
Is furled
No war words are spoken
All over the world
All over the world
I,I hear the sound
I,I Hear the sound
All over this land
People are waiting
To enter the world
Like a new born baby
All over the world
Where nothing's been learned
The flags are changing
So let freedom unfurl
New flags need waving
Let freedom unfurl
James Joyce Soles lyrics - Deacon Blue
Here's the pictures
I promised to send
You see the airbase
Where we were sent
Now the winter
Has started to descend
Your loving son was sent here
I got your letter
From Boise Idaho
To James Joyce Soles
To James Joyce Soles
I went down at midnight
To the Holy Loch shore
And scattered the ashes
Of James Joyce Soles
He knew the reasons
Why we were here
He loved your parcels
And all your care
You're so thoughtful
They're so fair
I know my friend thought so
Was James Joyce Soles
He's not just a soldier
He's not just a friend
He's been in the wars
In a foreign land
He's been on the payphone
When it was so cold
He was my comfort
Was James Joyce Soles
He was my comfort
In a country so old
He was my comfort
Was James Joyce Soles
I promised to send
You see the airbase
Where we were sent
Now the winter
Has started to descend
Your loving son was sent here
I got your letter
From Boise Idaho
To James Joyce Soles
To James Joyce Soles
I went down at midnight
To the Holy Loch shore
And scattered the ashes
Of James Joyce Soles
He knew the reasons
Why we were here
He loved your parcels
And all your care
You're so thoughtful
They're so fair
I know my friend thought so
Was James Joyce Soles
He's not just a soldier
He's not just a friend
He's been in the wars
In a foreign land
He's been on the payphone
When it was so cold
He was my comfort
Was James Joyce Soles
He was my comfort
In a country so old
He was my comfort
Was James Joyce Soles
