When I was younger, younger than before

I never saw the truth hanging from the door

And now Im older see it face to face

And now Im older gotta get up clean the place.

 

And I was green, greener than the hill

Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still

Now Im darker than the deepest sea

Just hand me down, give me a place to be.

 

And I was strong, strong in the sun

I thought Id see when day is done

Now Im weaker than the palest blue

Oh, so weak in this need for you.

Ill fake it through the day
With some help from johnny walker red
Send the poison rain down the drain
To put bad thoughts in my head
Two tickets torn in half
And a lot of nothing to do
Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do?

A man in the park
Read the lines in my hand
Told me Im strong
Hardly ever wrong I said man you mean

You had plans for both of us
That involved a trip out of town
To a place Ive seen in a magazine
That you left lying around
I dont have you with me but
I keep a good attitude
Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do?

I know youd rather see me gone
Than to see me the way that I am
But I am in the life anyway

Next door the tvs flashing
Blue frames on the wall
Its a comedy of errors, you see
Its about taking a fall
To vanish into oblivion
Is easy to do
And I try to be but you know me
I come back when you want me to
Do you miss me miss misery
Like you say you do?

When the joys of living just leave you cold
Frozen from the failing mess you’ve made your own
And if you want an ending to your screenplay life
Well here’s the consolation
That will change your heart and mind

And all the glitz messiah’s just pass the time
A cure for no real sickness, cross your hopes and die
Your supermarket jesus comes with smiles and lies
Where justice he delays is always justice he denies

This will make you love again…

And now you’re safe
Love again
To feel the rays
Love again
The sweet delays
Love again
And shoot the breeze

Early thursday mornings
Wipe away the flies
The crossfire fight for action
In between your thighs
And every touch is sacred
When they leave the room
If i have to switch the lights off
I wanna switch them off with you

This will make you love again…

And now you’re safe
Love again
To feel the rays
Love again
The sweet delays
Love again
And shoot the breeze
Love again

 

Sonically we’re in control

We’re the diamond in your soul

Images come thick and fast

From the future, from the past

 

The film starts, the film ends,

Nothing is said in between.

Just sudden moments from someone else’s story,

Will it ever be the same again?

Hours filled with conversation, no attention paid.

Too distracting convention, no need for friends.

Will it ever be the same again?

Will it ever be the same again?

 

You’re original, with your own path

You’re original, got your own way (x2)

 

Will it ever be the same again? (x2)

I need to hear that again

Because a dream starts, and a dream must end.

 

My mother told me, don’t ever change

You’re original, in your own way

My mother told me, don’t ever change

You’re original, got your own path

 

You’re original (x2)

Will it ever be the same again? (x2)

I need to hear that again

Because a dream starts, and a dream must end.

 

You’re original (x5)
