Intravenous
Nothing ever comes between us
It's the only way that we know
It demeans us
See-through pipes and plastic levers
But I'll gasp for breath if it goes
Will it last for ever?
Is it an eternal thing?
Nothing lasts for ever
So will we start suffering?
Suffering
Intravenous
Intravenous
Intravenous
Intravenous
True believers
Trust this faith will never leave us
It's the only way that we know
Mars and Venus
Pull so hard but not so grievous
To leave us spinning all alone
Will it last forever?
Is this an eternal thing?
Nothing lasts forever
So will we start suffering?
Suffering
Intravenous
Intravenous
Intravenous
Intravenous
Under my skin I’ve got you again
Till everything flows away
Intravenous
Intravenous
Intravenous
Intravenous

When You Walk Away
03:31
|

You asked the time
Then you brushed my arm discreetly
And you held my gaze completely
As I said half past nine
And on the night bus
The stories you were telling
If it was a trap, I fell in
Imagining our life
But all the things that felt so good
Contained the seeds of what would feel so wrong
I'm waiting for the day
When you walk away
And for a year
Felt like something had a hold of us
A thousand things left half-discussed
All ideas and ideals
But then the cracks
Started to appear. If I want to
Do something you are not into
It isn’t an attack
Oh, all the things that felt so good
Contained the seeds of what would feel so wrong
I'm waiting for the day
When you walk away, away
When you walk away, away
And you never said you wouldn’t leave me
It's been a while
Books, CDs and art you gave to me
Is long read, listened to and seen
And lying in a pile
Oh I should sell
All of it on eBay, realise
The end of us, the end of lies
The ending of a spell
But all the things that felt so good
Contained the seeds of what would feel so wrong
I'm waiting for the day
When you walk away, away
When you walk away, away
And you never said you wouldn’t leave me

A Different Scene

A different scene
Around me
Every message that I send
Sometimes the sea
Sometimes cities
Doesn't matter in the end
Cos you're not answering
They don't get through
They're confetti in the air
Are you happy, are you crying still?
I know, I'm not supposed to care
You'd like it here
The water's clear
You would like the silver sand
A full moonrise
In lazy skies
A thousand miles above the land
But you're not answering
They don't get through
They're confetti in the air
Are you happy, are you crying still?
I know, I'm not supposed to care
I'm not supposed to care
I know, but maybe you're still there
A rented car
An empty bar
Makes no difference in the end
A different scene
Around me
Every message that I send

Red, red eyes in the morning
Still sore from yesterday
Our last day, it is dawning
So what do you say?
Well, we could drive to the old house
Pilgrimage to the shrine
Try real hard to remember
What do you say?
Yeah we could look at the photos
Talk them through one by one
And we could share out the records
We never play
We never play
Funny how as we're lying here
Feels just like our first day
Silence goes on forever
So what do you say?
Red, red skies in the morning
Speak of storms in the day
We'll face them on our own now
So what do you say?
Could this day last forever?
What's the secret of love?
The answer lies in the records
We never play
We never play
Funny how as we're lying here
Feels just like our first day
Silence goes on forever
So what do you say?

Throw another love song on the fire
Watch the paper curling
Black and white notes twirling
On the pyre
Throw another love song on the fire
Throw another love song on the fire
Cos I am cold and lonely
And these flames are the only
Warmth inside
Throw another love song on the fire
Thanks for making me unhappy
Thanks for making me so blue
Cos these songs were never any good
They're better used as kindling wood
I know… And so...
Throw another love song on the fire
I lost my inspiration
Cos my enamouration
Was a lie
Throw another love song on the fire
Thanks for making me unhappy
Thanks for making me so blue
Cos those songs were all delusional
And I won't sing them any more
I know… And so…
Throw another love song on the fire

Too Late, I Love You
03:15

It was over before it started
In my head only
Still shocked how it made you harden
Your heart against me
Oh, I don't know a thing about love
I never did
And all the songs I've sung
Didn't tell the half of it
Now too late, I love you
The first time I ever saw you
Cry and it's humbling
And all of the things we tried to
Build up start crumbling
Oh, I don't know a thing about love
I never did
And all the songs I've sung
Didn't tell the half of it
Now too late, I love you
Oh, I don't know a thing about love
I never did
And all the songs I've sung
Didn't tell the half of it
Tell the half of it
All the songs that I've sung
Didn't fool anyone
Now too late I love you, you, you

Like A Fool
02:41

You stole right into my heart
Now you're in there, there's no way back
If I tore us apart
You know it would be really black so…
Say you love me
Say that it's true
I'll believe you
Like a fool
Like a fool
Now that we’re this age
I was hoping that we might find
Wisdom, calm and kindness
I'm naive and oh so blind so…
Say you love me
Say that it's true
I'll believe you
Like a fool
Like a fool
If I tore it apart
You know it would be really black
Can you feel that pain inside?
I think it's a heart attack
Say you love me
Say that it’s true
I'll believe you
Like a fool
Say you love me
Say that it’s true
I'll believe you
Cos I'm the kind of fool
Who hangs around after school
Just to catch a little glimpse of you
Say you love me
Say you love me

Things I Love
04:35

The way Paul Klee scratched out a line
And Bridget Riley bent them
Now all they ever bring to mind
Is he who can’t be mentioned
And all the songs we listened to as one
Well they’re ruined now
And all the places and the things we’ve done
Well they’re over
From ‘Repetition’ by The Fall
To ‘It’s a Shame About Ray’
I’m hating, hating, hating all
The songs we used to play
And all the places and the things we’ve done
Well they’re ruined now
And all the songs we listened to as one
Well they’re over
Why do things I love
Remind me of someone I don’t
The gothic tales of Tim Burton
A bowl of homemade popcorn
The indie clubs of Islington
Now seem so cold and forlorn
And all the songs we listened to as one
Well they’re ruined now
And all the places and the things we’ve done
Well they’re over
Why do things I love
Remind me of someone I don’t
It's been a long time now, it's hard
To know why I'm not mending
I somehow seem to find it hard
To see this as an ending
I hate the sight and sound of all you do
But at the same time
I'm not really getting over you
Oh, no
