"Don't You Want Me Anymore?"

   
On the night that I was leaving,
The moon rose in the sky.
As I came, to fetch my suitcase,
And then you began to cry.
I've never seen you look so ugly as the way you did that night.
That night was eighteen months ago.
Now I'm two hours from the station.
Yeah I'm coming home again.
I'm gonna show this town who's master soon as I get off this train.
You're gonna love me more than ever,
And the sun will shine again.
And I will kiss your face,
And I will make you smile again.
And then the whole damn town will come on out to welcome me.
Oh they will open all the doors and give it all to me.
Oh no but still your voice is ringing in my ears.
Don't you want me anymore?
Don't you want me anymore?
And I can't, I can't believe it's happening.
I know that, oh there must be some mistake.
You found yourself another lover,
And you're glad we made the break.
Oh you don't even, you don't even want to see me.
You just wanna wave and say "Goodbye.
Go away now, and leave us alone,
No this house is not your own."
And now the whole damn town has come on out to laugh at me.
Oh yeah.
Oh they can stare for evermore; you do not care for me.
Oh no.
Oh they can stare now for a hundred thousand years.
Don't you want me anymore?
Don't you want me anymore?
Don't you want me anymore?
Don't you want me anymore?

"She's Dead"

   
She's dying,
Everybody came to see.
She's falling, and I know I'll never see her face again.
And I don't really know, just why she's leaving.
All she ever said, was she just had to go.
And I watch her, as she walks away from me.
Yeah, I can see her.
Then I know that in a moment she'll be gone.
Yeah, she'll be gone and,
And then I'll say
"You've got to understand She's not really breathing,
No not at all.
Those years of endless rain,
They just washed her away."
Oh and I know she's leaving.
Yeah she's going for good.
Oh and I'd love to go with you,
But I never would.
Face it.
You've blown it this time round.
Now I understand, just why she's leaving.
Oh.

If she'd have hung around with me,
Well you know she'd never go, no no no no.
Oh and I know she's leaving.
Yeah, she's going for good.
And I'd love to go with you, but I never would.
Oh and I know she's leaving.
Yeah, she's going for good.
And I'd love to go with you, oh but I never would.
No I never would.
No I never would.
No I never would.
Oh no.
She's never coming back.
Face it.
She's gone.

"Separations"

   
As the sun shines down on the land,
So her heart is crying for love.
And there is no-one there,
No-one to hear her voice.
And she will sleep alone again tonight.
Now the moon is high in the sky.
In her room she calls out his name.
But he is somewhere else,
Somewhere she cannot see.
Oh, and the night is dark between them now,
"My god, my God, why did he go away?"
Now the sun shines on a new town.
With a smile he gets off the train.
He lights a cigarette,
Leans back to see the sky.
Oh and he thinks how much better off he is,
Without her hanging round.
Let's do it.

And the day is passing by him,
And he has nowhere to stay.
At a lonely bar-room table,
His mind goes back to yesterday,
To the girl who's dead and buried,
But her face lives in his eyes.
He must forget that face forever.
Make the future start tonight.
But the meal he eats is dead flesh.
There is cancer in his cigarettes.
And the drinks won't do a thing for him,
But revive some stupid memories.
Then a hairstyle that reminds him,
Makes him run into the night,
Where the moon hangs high above him now,
The same moon that she's praying on tonight.
But the wind catches her words.
And the moon swallows them whole.
Now the moon is high in the sky.
In her room she calls out his name.
The night is cold and dark, and she is all alone.
The bed is empty now.

Her body screams for love.
She wants to be with him.
Oh but he's so far away.
Oh and the night is dark between them now
"My God, my God, why did he go away?"

"Down By The River"

   
Take me down,
To the river,
Where I would not go before.
Through the trees and the rushes,
To a place we both know.
And I'm feeling much younger,
As I kneel on the ground,
Dip my toe in the water,
Of the river where I watched you drown
Nadadum nananana nana na...
Oh when the river ran dry that next year,
I could not find your body.
Now I'm standing here ready at last,
To dive down and reach you again.
And I long to be with you
Now these cold nights have come,
Oh I go down to the river,
But the river will stop for no-one.
Though I ask it it keeps flowing on,
When I ask it,
It tells me you're gone.
Dadow...

"Countdown"

   
Oh I was seventeen,
When I heard the countdown start, it started slowly,
And I thought it was my heart but then I realised,
That this time it was for real there was no place to hide,
I had to go out and feel,
But there was time to kill,
And so I, I walked my way around town,
I tried to love the world,
Oh but the world just got me down,
And so I looked for you,
In every street of every town I wanted to see your face,
I wanna, I wanna see you now.
I wanna see you now.

Oh and so it went,
Oh so it went for several years I couldn't stand it
No, oh it must be getting near now that,
You just don't know,
Oh no you, you just don't understand how many people have seen you,
In the arms of, of of some other man,
I've got to meet you, and find you,
And take you by the hand, oh my God,
My God, you've got to understand,
That I was seventeen.
I didn't, I didn't know a thing at all.
I've got no reason,
I've got no reason at all, Oh no.
The time, of my life,
Oh I think you came too soon,
Yeah you came too soon then,
Oh and it could, it could be tonight,
If I ever leave this room,
(I never leave this room no)
Oh I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down,
Get down, oh.
Oh and the sky,
Is crying out tonight,
For me to leave this town,
So I'm gonna leave this town.
Goodbye.
O.K.

Yeah you can leave me,
Oh you, you can go some other place,
You can't forget it.
Yeah, you know, you know that's O.K.
Cos, cos I own this town,
Yeah, I brought it to its knees,
Can you hear it crying?
Can you?
Can you hear it begging to me "Please?"
I know it's coming,
So soon now
Oh, oh it's on it's way.
Oh no, oh no, oh I can hear them say,
They say I can't survive,
They say I, I'll never leave the ground,
They say it's all a lie,
And now, and now it's coming down,
Oh baby now,
Time, of my life, oh I think you came too soon.
Yeah you came too soon now,
Oh and it could, oh it could be tonight,
If I ever leave this room,
(I never leave this room now)
Oh oh oh

I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down.
Get down, oh
Oh and the sky, is crying out tonight,
For me to leave this town,
So I'm gonna go, gonna be there,
I'm gonna go.
Bub-bye.
It's O.K,
You don't have to care.
Really.
Oh, oh really, I swear,
No, no you owe me nothing,
You owe nothing to me,
And if I messed it up baby,
Then, that's all up to me.
And if you go, then, then I won't follow, no, no
Cos so many times I've been,
I've been thinking maybe, oh maybe I should
No, I, I'm gonna stay
I, I'm gonna make my way
Oh, I'm gonna get on through babe
I'm gonna make it all some day
Oh, time, of my life,
No I think you came too soon,
You came too soon then.
Oh and it could, it could be tonight,
If I ever leave this room,
(I never, I never leave this room, no)
Oh oh oh

I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down
Get down, oh
And the sky, is crying out tonight,
For me to leave this town.
So I'll leave this town.
The sky, is crying out tonight,
For me to leave this town,
Yeah I'm gonna leave this town
Time
Is crying out tonight
For me to leave this town
So I'm gonna go yeah
I'm gonna go
Yeah
Bub-bye
I'm gonna leave this town
You're not gonna have me around
Oh
The sky and stars and God will never ever laugh
Me and stars and moon are falling down.

"My Legendary Girlfriend"

   
You know sometimes...when we're lying together...
And I know you're asleep...I can hear the soft sound of your breathing...
So I get up...and I go to the window...Outside...I can see all the houses...
Curtains shut tight against the night...asleep beneath the roof-tiles...
And as I stand here...I wonder...I wonder how many more times...
I'm gonna come here...I wonder how many more times...I'm gonna lie here...
And most of all...most of all I wonder...I wonder what it means...
I just wanna know what it means...So I woke her...
And we went walking through the sleeping town...
Down deserted streets...frozen gardens grey in the moonlight...
Fences...down to the canal...
Creeping slowly past the cooling towers...
Deserted factories...looking for an adventure...
I wandered the streets calling your name...jumping walls...
Hoping to see a light in the window...let me in...
Let me come in...let me in tonight...
Oh I see you shivering in the garden...
Silver goose-flesh in the moonlight ...she's balancing...
There are so many others...with unbroken eyes...
No cellulite afternoons... and she is balancing...
Balancing on the edge of ugliness tonight...
She is balancing...

Good God!
My legendary girlfriend,
She is crying tonight,
Oh no she doesn't feel right,
She's got no-one to hold,
Her love is a sham,
He is dancing somewhere.
Oh no he doen't care,
Oh well, he'll never know.

Jump...touch my hair...I wanna...I don't care...cos tonight...we could,
Maybe we...maybe we can touch the sky...do you think that we can...
Do you think that we can...touch the sky...please...I know...
I know it's not forever...but tonight I don't care...
Your skin so pale in the moonlight...
And the way your lips swell up when you're asleep...
Nothing else matters...do you know how much I want you?...
Can you feel how much I want you?...
Oh
Pitsmoor Woman
Oh let
Oh let me in tonight

My legendary girlfriend,
She is crying tonight,
Oh no she doesn't feel right,
She's got no-one to hold.
Her love is a sham,
He is dancing somewhere.
Oh no he doen't care,
Oh well, he'll never know.
And all the stars came out tonight,
And the moon came on it's face,
It shone right though the clothes she wore,
It shone right through the dress she wore.
Good God

Oh, y'know...listen...listen...please...oh...I just wanna...
I just wanna... ...He falls to sleep again...no cheese tonight...she knows

My legendary girlfriend,
She is crying tonight,
Oh no she doesn't feel right,
She's got no-one to hold.
Her love is a sham,
He is dancing somewhere.
Oh no he doen't care,
Oh well, he'll never know.
And all the stars came out tonight,
And the moon came on it's face.
It shone right through the dress she wore,
It shone right through the clothes she wore.
And the stars and the moon,
And the stars all came down today.
Oh please love me tonight
Good God now!

"Death II"

   
Oh now the lonely nights begin,
And there is nowhere left to go,
But watch my spirit melt away,
Down at the D-I-S-C-O.
I must have died a thousand times,
The next day, I was still alive.
And I still believe in you,
Yes I do.
Let's do it now.
No. I was not crushed, I did not cry
You know that everything's O.K.
It's just sometimes I wake at night,
All alone and see your face.
Oh, thousands feel the same,
But the night-time falls away.
Oh no but still sometimes I feel,
Oh sometimes I feel like Jesus Christ now, Hey,
I feel this night will never end,
And I will never see the day.
Oh I was nothing when you came,
I'm no-one now you've gone away.
Oh all I do is just O.K.
All of my nights,
And all of my days.
Oh-oh if you came home right now,
I'd run away,
Oh run away now.
O.K. now
Alright.

You can go out and make love to whoever, or whatever you like babe
So I go out and fill my eyes with other women,
Oh they look good to me and I think that I might kiss them,
Oh now it's two a.m. and I'm still stood here waiting,
So I go home and wonder why I bothered going.
Yeah every week turns out the same,
The sun, the wind, the snow, the rain.
Oh no but still sometimes I feel,
Oh sometimes I feel like Jesus Christ now, Hey,
I feel this night will never end,
And I will never see the day.
Oh I was nothing when you came,
I'm no-one now you've gone away.
Oh all I do is just O.K.
All of my nights, and all of my days.
Oh-oh if you came home right now,
I'd run away.
I can't believe it.
I can't remember your face anymore.
Or the sound of your voice.
Or any touch of your skin,
Is a legend.
By the way,
Did I tell you that I loved you?
Oh if I didn't I'm so sorry.
You know I,
I really,
I really meant to tell you.
It's O.K. there's no need to hurry.
But the bed is full of memories,
Full of memories of you.
Oh I've tried to get them out but,
But there's nothing I can do.
Oh if I knew the moon I'd ask him,
Shine his light in through your window,
And send your body home to me today.

Hey,
I feel this night will never end,
And I will never see the day,
Oh I was nothing when you came,
I'm no-one now you've gone away
Oh all I do is O.K.
All of my nights,
And all of my days.
Oh-oh if you came home right now,
I'd run away,
Run away,
Run away.

"This House Is Condemned"

   
He's in a room
He sees the floor
He sees the wall
He sees the roof
He sees the door

It's nine thirty-eight
So he goes up to the door
And he finds himself in another room
Identical to the one before
The clock still reads nine thirty-eight
So he goes out of that room
But he finds himself in a parallel room
A mirror image of the one before

He hits the floor
He hits the wall
He hits the door
He hits the door

The clock reads nine thirty-eight
He throws it at the roof
He breaks a hole
He climbs out
He sees the moon
He sees the stars
He sees the sky

The stars are small lightbulbs
Set in a black cardboard dome
He climbs out
He sees the stars, he sees the sky
The stars are small lightbulbs
Set in a black cardboard dome

He hits the floor
He hits the wall
He hits the roof
He hits the dome
He hits the dome

Condemned
This house
This house is
This house is
Is this house
This house
Is this house
Fill in housing form
Buy one clock
Time again
Sort housing papers
Still nine thirty-eight
Two thousand years from now
It will still be ticking
He hits the floor
Wall, roof, door
The clock reads nine thirty-eight
He hits the dome
Door, wall
Space, floor
Time
He sees the moon
He sees the stars
For some romantic reason
Space, dome, door, wall, clockface
Space, time, place, floor, wall, door, roof
This is one small step for mankind
One giant leap for man

Ten
Nine
Eight
Seven
Six
Five
Four
Three
Two
One
Zero

We have lift-off
He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
He sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the Earth
For some romantic reason
He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
He sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the Earth
Space, time, place, condensed
Space, time, place, condemned
This is house is
This house is
This house is
Condemned
This house is
This house is
This house is
Condemned.

"Space"

   
You said you wanted some space
Well is this enough for you?
This is what you've waited for
No dust collecting in the corners
No cups of tea that got cold before you drank them
Tonight
Travelling at the speed of thought
We're going to escape into the stars
It doesn't matter if the lifts are out of order
Or the car won't start
We're rising up
Above the city
Over forests
Over fields
Rivers and lakes
Into the clouds
And up above us
The whole universe is shining a welcome
Did you ever really think this day would happen
After days trying to sell washing-machines on your own?
It looked like we never left the ground
But we're weightless
Floating free
We can go wherever we want
Solar systems
Constellations
Galaxies
I'll race you to the nearest planet
How many times have you wished upon a star?
Now you can touch it
You can touch the stars
Go on
Don't be afraid
"I only wanted some space"
Well is this enough for you?
Is it?
Well the stars are bright
But they don't give out any heat
The planets
Are lumps of rock
Floating in a vacuum
Yeah, space is cold
When you're on your own
I think it's time to go home
Pulling my strings
Like a kite that flew too high
And now it's time to come down
Look out below
Wait `til I get back
You can see something
You can see space
But now I know
It's O.K.
Space is O.K.
But I'd rather
I'd rather get my
I'd rather get my kicks down below
Oh yeah
Come on

"O.U. (Gone, Gone)"

   
The night was ending
He needed her undressed
He said he loved her
She tried to look impressed
After the break-up
It's just something you do
To stop the night-time
From falling down on you

The world is ending
The sky is falling down
She's at the station
Because she's leaving town
Oh you could stop her
If you get out of bed
She wants to see you
At least that's what she said
You've got a minute
At the very most
And she's gone gone gone gone gone yes she's going away
Oh yes she's going away
Oh yes she's going away
Oh yes she's going away

And now it's over
Cos I just saw the end
I saw the credits
I turned around and then
I saw her running
Coming back to me
The sky exploded
But I couldn't see

The world is ending
The sky is falling down
She's at the station
Because she's leaving town
Oh you could stop her
If you get out of bed
She wants to see you
At least that's what she said
You've got a minute
At the very most
And she's gone and she's gone and she's gone
Oh yes she's going away
