| Do You Feel Loved? | |
| take these hands they're good for nothing
you know these hands have never worked a day take these boots they're going nowhere you know these boots they don't want to stray you got my head filled with songs you got my shoelaces undone take my shirt go on take it off me you can tear it up if you can tie me down DO YOU FEEL LOVED ? DO YOU FEEL LOVED ? TAKE THE colours of my imagination TAKE THE scent hanging in the air take this tangle of a conversation and turn it into your own prayer with my fingers as you want them with my nails under your hide with my teeth at your back and my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies DO YOU FEEL LOVED ? DO YOU FEEL LOVED ? AND IT LOOKS like the SUN BUT IT FEELS LIKE RAIN love's a bully pushing shoving in the belly of a woman heavy rhythm taking over to stick together a man and a woman stick together man and woman stick together... DO YOU FEEL LOVED ? DO YOU FEEL LOVED ? AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SUN BUT IT FEELS LIKE RAIN and THERE'S HEAT IN THE SUN TO SEE US THROUGH THE RAIN |

| If God Will Send His Angels | |
| nobody else here baby no one else here to blame
no one to point the finger... it's just you and me and the rain nobody made you do it, no one put words in your mouth nobody here taking orders when love took a train heading south it's the blind leading the blond it's the stuff the stuff of country songs HEY IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN AND IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS Would everything be alright ? God has got his phone off the hook babe would he even pick up if he could ? it's been a while since we saw that child hangin' round this neighbourhood see His mother dealing in a doorway see Father Christmas with a begging bowl Jesus sister's eyes are blister ... THE HIGH STREET never looked so low it's the blind leading the blond it's the cops collecting for the cons so where is the hope and where is the faith ... and the love ? what's that you say to me does love... light up your Christmas tree ? the next minute you're blowing a fuse and the cartoon network turns into the news HEY IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN WELL IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS WHERE DO WE GO Jesus never let me down you know Jesus used to show me the score then they put Jesus in show business now it's hard to get in the door it's the stuff it's the stuff of country songs but I guess it was something to go on HEY IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS I SURE COULD USE THEM HERE RIGHT NOW WELL IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS WHERE DO WE GO...

| Staring At The Sun | |
| SUMMER stretching on the grass...
summer dresses pass in the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me over me and over you stuck together with God's glue it's going to get stickier too... it's been a long hot summer let's go undercover don't try too hard to think... don't think at all I'm not the only one starin' at the sun afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun not the only one who's happy to go blind there's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear it's gonna itch and burn and sting do you want to see what the scratching brings waves that leave me out of reach breaking on your back like a beach... will we ever live in peace ? cause those that can't do often have to those that can't do often have to... preach to the ones staring at the sun... afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside not just deaf and dumb... staring at the sun I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind intransigence is all around... military is still in town armour plated suits and ties... daddy just won't say goodbye referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will HE listen I'm nearly great but there's something I'm missing I left in the duty free though you never really belonged to me you're not the only one staring at the sun afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun not the only one who's happy to go blind |

| Last Night On Earth | |
| she feels the ground is giving way
BUT she thinks WE'RE better off that way "the more you take the less you feel the less you know the more you believe the more you have the more it takes today" YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY she DOESN'T CARE WHAT IT'S worth SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH she's not waiting on a saviour to come she's at a bus-stop with the NEWS OF THE WORLD AND THE sun sun here it comes she's not waiting for anyone YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY she knows just what it's worth SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH Slipping away... slip slide... The world turns and we get dizzy Slipping away the clock tells her that time is slipping... minute hands and second sticking... there's something going on she might be missing the world turns and we get dizzy is it spinning for you the way it's spinning for me ? she's living living next week now you know she's going to pay it back somehow the future is so predictable the past is too uncomfortable YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY she ALREADY knows it hurts SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH last NIGHT ON EARTH LAST NIGHT ON EARTH |

| Miami | |
| weather 'round here choppin' and changin'
surgery in the air print shirts and southern accents cigars and big hair we got the wheels and petrol is cheap only went there for a week got the sun got the sand got the batteries in the handycam... her eyes all swimming pool blue dumb bells on a diving board baby's always attracted to the things she's afraid of big girl with the sweet tooth watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot freshmen squeaky clean she tastes of chlorine MIAMI MY MAMMY love the movies... love to walk those movie sets get to shoot someone in the foot get to smoke some cigarettes no big deal we know the score just back from the video store got the car and the car chase what's he got inside the case I want a close up of that face here comes the car chase MIAMI MY MAMMY MIAMI I bought two new suits... miami pink aND BLUE..

| The Playboy Mansion | |
| If coke is a mystery
michael jackson ... history if beauty is truth and surgery the fountain of youth what am i to do ? have I got the gift to get me through the gates of that mansion If oj is more than a drink and a big mac bigger than you think if perfume is an obsession and talk shows... confession what have we got to lose another push and maybe we’ll be through the gates of that mansion I never bought a lotto ticket I never parked in anyone's space the banks they’re like cathedrals I guess casinos took their place love ‘come on down’ don’t wake her she'll come around chance is a kind of religion where you’re damned for plain hard luck I never did see that movie never did read that book Love come on down let my numbers come around don't know if I can hold on don't know if I'm that strong Don't know if I can wait that long till the colours come flashing and the lights go on then will there be no time for sorrow then will there be no time for shame and though I can't say why I know I've got to believe we'll go driving in that pool it's who you know that gets you through the gates of the playboy mansion then will there be no time for sorrow then will there be no time for pain then will there be no time for sorrow then will there be no time for shame |

| If You Wear That Velvet DressPlease | |
| Tonight the moon is playing tricks again
feeling sea sick again and the whole world could just dissolve... into a glass of water I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to do you really want me to be blue as you it's her daylight that gets me through we've been here before... last time you scratched at my door the moon was naked and cold I was like a two year old who just wanted more if you wear that velvet dress if you wear that velvet dress tonight the moon has drawn its curtains it's a private show no one else is going to know i'm wanting sunlight sunlight fills my room it's sharp and it's clear but nothing at all like the moon... it's okay... the struggle for things not to say I never listened to you anyway and I got my own hands to pray... but if you wear that velvet dress but if you wear that velvet dress tonight the moon is a mirrorball light flickers from across the hall who'll catch the star when it falls... if you wear that velvet dress |

| Wake Up Dead Man | |
| So you never knew love
until you crossed the line of grace and you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face so you never felt alive until you almost wasted away You had to win you couldn't just pass the smartest ass at the top of the class your flying colours your family tree and all your lessons in history Please... please... please get up off your knee please... please... leave me out of this please So you never knew how long you'd stoop to make that call and you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl and you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole your catholic blues your convent shoes your stick on tattoos now they're making the news your holy war your northern star your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car please...please... please get up off your knees please...please... leave me out of this please so love is hard and love is tough but love is not what you're thinking of september... streets capsizing... spilling over down the drain ...shards of glass splinters like rain but you could only feel your own pain... october... talking getting nowhere... november... december... remember... are we just starting again... ? So love is big bigger than us but love is not what you're thinking of IT’S what lovers deal it's what lovers steal you know i've found it hard to receive ‘cause you my love I could never believe |
