Lyrics - Sound on Sound
|
Afterburn So look at us See what we've become Beyond the promises That we made to ourselves Yeah we've succumbed To the thing we feared the most The easy life, suburban sanctuary That talks of liberation But delivers a slow death It's a gentle dying But it's all the same in the end When the heart is sick of trying Can you see we've reached the point of no return Can you feel the heat it's building The afterburn So we crash and burn Yeah thrash and turn Too late, too far Now there's no escape The race has run And I've only just begun See the light it's shining on me See the light but I'm I'm too blind to see |
Sound on Sound I sit inside my room Waiting for the inspiration Pouring out these songs That no one hears but me It's a lonely world From which there's no escape Can't do nothing else Can't make it go away I've got something to say Gotta say it out loud Going round in my head Building up sound on sound Was it something I read Am I already dead? Probably wasting my time But that's all that I have At the end of the working day Have to find that quiet place With just these three chords, the truth And a little grace Though my head is weary I gotta heart that must be free And so I sing these songs That no one hears but me |

Long Way Home How you gonna get back home from here Without me, without us So how you gonna make this disappear From our lives, from our love There's a road that pushes into the night There's a path that crosses from wrong to right Hear a voice saying something I already know A sense of distance, a feeling you're a long way from home Ever had a dream that slipped away On waking at daybreak So how we gonna find that dream again Without trust in our love I feel a weight and it keeps on pushing me down Hold my breath but it feels like I'm starting to drown Where were you when I flat out needed you most? You were lost you were a long, long way from home |
Rain Life's a question of how many days And how to spend them Thought I'd made my choice Thought I'd spend them all with you Now maybe that's not true I tolerate the pain And hope for brighter days But now it feels like rain Rain washing down my face Tears like rain I can't go on this way So now I wonder what was real and just for show I look into your eyes And wonder who you really are Betrayal leaves a scar They shine a brilliant grey Grow darker everyday And now it looks like rain |

Weeds The wind will blow away your steps The rain will wash away your name In a hundred years no one will care As the weeds tumble over your grave Do you know what I mean? What I'm talking about? Make the most of each cos it might be your last You'll be gone for a long time baby One thing you'll be sure of is that You'll be gone for a long time honey And you won't be coming back This aint no serenade I don't call the piper's tune No joyful cavalcade No dance, no song of doom Just some friendly advice From somebody who knows Who's seen a little life, seen the ebb and the flow So feel the blood in your veins Feel the sweat on your skin Draw deep on each breath Let the living begin |
Falling Into Shadows Faint hearts can never be true Faith lost is never renewed Like a pretty young face Showing the first signs of age We took our comfort on a big white bed But lately baby I'm been thinking again About a different kinda lovin But I just can't get it straight We're crawling through the darkness Searching for the light at the end Flying outa nowhere Falling into shadows again Yeah faint hearts can never be true One and one and one don't make two But then counting and numbers Was never your strong suit So a quiet desperation has come to descend We don't talk about so we just keep pretending That the slience is golden And last year never happened With just one song I'm hardly gonna make us change Before we throw it all away |
|
One Wish If I had one wish And one last chance I'd roll the dice and play the dealers hand Watch the numbers fall And you and I Would make a change Before we cross that line and it's too late To ever come back again So take my hand We'll do what we can To make amends Forgive and forget If only time stood between us And we could fill the space bewtween us Did you ever really want to? Be careful what you wish for It might come true |
Lost You're watching over me See things I just can't see You live in harmony The way I wanna be You're watching over me I'm searching for the light The raod is never smooth For those who seek the truth It should be easy but I can't make it alone It's so easy to get lost on my own The endless ocean's near Someday I'm resting there I thought I cannot turn away it fills my every night Every night and day It's all so beautiful, so beautiful So how do I make you understand I got lost along the way |

Darkness Falls When the devil comes to find you Are you just standing there? When he’s creeping up behind you But you don’t seem to care Turn around, to the light Let darkness fall away, away, away This is the thing This is the thing we’ve all been fighting for This is why we’re working on the factory floor This is why we sing these songs And this is the way, this is the way that I can make it Can’t live without a dream though it’s fading Now I know about the man behind the door Too bad you couldn’t make it Looks like you’re on the floor This is the day, this is the day that you’ve been waiting Gotta plane to catch but you know you won’t be taking it Gonna hide beneath the covers keep the sunshine out Lay your body on the ground Don’t you know, can’t you see, don’t you trust the voice inside your head Never thought ‘bout things too much Temptation’s always gonna get you in the end Too bad you couldn’t fight it Too weak to make a stand When the devil comes to find you Are you just standing there? When he’s creeping up behind you But you don’t seem to care When you feel it all around you You won’t ever hear The voice that calls you over Cos you’re already there He’ll find you anywhere He will find you anywhere Cos you’re already there Yeah the devil’s in the detail Of every life In a thousand different choices Between what’s wrong and right Got to be strong |
Way You Look The way you look in black tonight The way you look into my eyes The way you when we push and fightt The way you look when we kiss tonight The way you lean into my side The way you wear that dress so tight The way you move across the room The way you love the little things I do The way you cast that spell on me The way you guide my destiny The way you hold you head up high The way you keep the fire burning bright The way you love those pretty things The way you wear those diamond rings The way you whisper in my ear Those little things I just gotta hear The way you fill me with desire The way you look all dressed in white The way you look upon the sheets The way your kisses still taste so sweet The way you look in black tonight The way you wear that dress so tight Everything about you makes me whole The way your sun is shining in my soul |

Juicy Fruit Girl Life so sweet Caught between first bloom and first heat And she's so young Doesn't know just what she's begun Do you know what I mean? Do you see what I see Can you feel what I feel? Can't you see she's a juicy fruit girl She don't think twice Cooking up that sugar and spice Her shirt so tight Filling up with everything nice |
