A Clean Pair Of Eyes lyrics - A Clean Pair Of Eyes

Hear me god I'm on the level
Mapping silence seeing things
Crying laughing like the devil
And before the might of all that's seen
I'll raise my head and wake to dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes

Murdered gold and colours flashing
Time like blood like flowing hair
Faces merging airplanes crashing
And before the might of all that's true
I'll raise my head and wake to dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes

A clean pair of eyes
Don't need no-one to blame
Don't need no disguise
No sugar to sweet my brain
A clean pair of eyes

Today I need no commentary
Today I do not need to speak
No explanation necessary

And before the might of all that's seen
I'll raise my head and wake to dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes
A clean pair of eyes don't need no right or wrong
Don't need no disguise
No sugar to fix my tongue
A clean pair of eyes

Liquid air and flags that ripple
A tambourine of smoking suns love
That blinds us fear that cripples

And before the might of all that's seen
I'll raise my head and wake to dream
And before the might of all that's true
I'll raise my head and dream anew
And before the might of all that's unnamed
I'll raise my head and dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again

Please Forgive Me lyrics - David Gray

Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Every time I look at you [2x]

Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Wanna tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way [2x]
When you look at me that way

Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into that mystery
Deep into some mystery

I got half a mind to scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I won't ever have to lose you girl
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye

Whoa, oh oh oh, I [3x]

Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Every time I look at you [4x]

Babylon lyrics - David Gray

Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head

Looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To open up my heart to all that jealousy
That bitterness, that ridicule

Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowds I'm pushing
Chemicals are rushing in my bloodstream

Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made

And if you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt

Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now
Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now

Babylon [3x]

Sunday all the lights in London shining
Sky is fading red to blue
Kicking through the autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to

Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there in front of me

And if you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt

Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now
Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now

Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now
Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now

Babylon [5x]

My Oh My lyrics - David Gray

What on earth is going on in my heart?
Has it turned as cold as stone?
Seems these days I don't feel anything
'Less it cuts me right down to the bone
What on earth is going on in my heart?

'Cause, my oh my, you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind I wanna tear it up
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on 'til the end
My oh my

What on earth is going on in my head
You know I used to be so sure
You know I used to be so definite
Thought I knew what love was for
I look around these days and I'm not so sure

My oh my you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind I wanna tear it up
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on 'til the end

My oh my you know I just can't win
I burn it down, it comes right back again
What kinda world is this we're living in
Where you never win
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love these days
To keep your heart from freezing
To keep your spirit free

My oh my

My oh my you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind I wanna tear it up
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on 'til the end
My oh my you know it just don't stop
My oh my it just don't stop
My oh my it just don't stop

My oh my, you know, it just don't stop
My oh my, you know, it just don't stop
It just don't—
My oh my, you know, it just don't stop
My oh my
My oh my, you know, it just don't stop
My oh my
My oh my, you know, it just don't stop
My oh my, you know, it just don't stop
My oh my, now, my oh my
My oh my, you know, it just don't stop
My oh my, you know, it just don't stop

We're Not Right lyrics - David Gray

Feel the weight of this passing time
All those crazy faces run through my mind
And that song has brought a teardrop to my eye
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right

I see this world but I can't relate
Hate that everything must accelerate
Betty Ford oh won't you be my Valentine
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No, we're not right

Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
And now my hands are shaking
But I just can't stop
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right

Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
And now my hands are shaking
But I just can't stop
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right

Now I'm weak and my head is sore
And I feel like I can't go on no more
Come in here where normal rules do not apply

Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right

Nightblindness lyrics - David Gray

A million to one outsiders
Nightblindness
Can't see

Your bright eyes are what
The time is
Twenty five past eternity

Hear you listening
To the silence
Coming closer
Now further away

What we gonna do
When the money runs out
I wish that there was something left to say
Where we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day

I'm sick of all the same romances
Lost chances
Cold storms

Propping mountains up
On matchsticks
Dragging baskets
Full of bones

And honey please don't stop
Your talking
'Cause there's a feeling
Won't leave me alone

What we gonna do
When the money runs out
I wish that there was something I could say
How we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day?

What we gonna do
When the money runs out
I wish that there was something left to say
How we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day?

The bright of day
The bright of day

Silver Lining lyrics - David Gray

Take this silver lining
Keep it in your own sweet head
Shine it when the night is burning red

Shine it in the twilight
Shine it on the cold cold ground
Shine it 'til these walls come tumbling down

We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep

Step into the silence
Take it in your own two hands
And scatter it like diamonds
All across these lands

Blaze it in the morning
Wear it like an iron skin
Only things worth living for
Innocence and magic, amen

We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep

We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness so deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep

Know that the light don't sleep

Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Know that the light don't sleep

White Ladder lyrics - David Gray

I have to tell you

White ladder
Water and wine
Forever crying
Oh time

Don't wanna feel tonight
There's no rhyme or reason to love
This sweet love

White river
Thunder and war
How many
Time, oh

Don't wanna feel no more
There's no rhyme or reason to love
This sweet sweet love

To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another Valentine
A burning flame

To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another Valentine
A burning flame

Total order
Tell 'em boy inside
Forever
Crying oh man

Don't wanna feel tonight
There's no rhyme or reason to love
This sweet sweet love

To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another Valentine
Burning flame

To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another Valentine
A burning flame

To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another Valentine
Burning flame

White ladder
Water and wine
Don't wanna feel tonight

This Years Love - David Gray

This years love it better last
Heaven knows it's high time
I've been waiting on my own too long

And when you hold me like you do
It feels so right oh now
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles and time again
Cut like a knife oh no
If you love me I got to know for sure

'Cause it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies oh now
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
When you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love it better last
This years love it better last

'Cause who's to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
Won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love it better last
This years love it better last
This years love it better last
This years love it better last

Sail Away lyrics - David Gray

Sail away with me, honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me, honey, now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now

Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace

Of all the times I've tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little darling, if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning 'round inside my head

Sail away with me, honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me, honey, now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now

I've been talking drunken gibberish
Falling in and out of bars
Trying to get some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far?

Sail away with me, honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me, honey, now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now

Sail away with me, honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me, honey, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now

Sail away with me, honey
I put my heart in your hands
Your break me up if you pull me down
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now

Say Hello Wave Goodbye lyrics - David Gray

Standing at the door of the pink flamingo
Crying in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love
And I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again

You and I, it had to be
The standing joke of the year
You were a run-around
A lost-and-found
And not for me, I feel

Take your hands off me, hey
I don't belong to you, you see
And take a look in my face for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello, goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye

We tried to make it work
You in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit, but it just wasn't me

You're used to wearing less
And now your life's a mess
So insecure, you see

Well, I put up with all the scenes
And this is one scene
That's going to be played my way

Take your hands off me, hey
I don't belong to you, you see
And take a look in my face for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello, goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye

Under the deep red light I can see the make-up sliding down
Well, hey, little girl, you will always make up, so take off that unbecoming frown

As for me, well, I'll find someone who's not going cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife
Who'll give me a steady life
And not keep going off the rails

Take your hands off me, hey
I don't belong to you, you see
And take a look in my face for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello, goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

We were born before the whale
Who are we to understand
We were born before the whale
Say goodbye

Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow
Say goodbye
Get on the train, train, train
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

In the wind and the rain now, darling
Say goodbye
In the wind and the rain now, darling

"Sell Sell Sell" (1996)

Faster, Sooner, Now lyrics - Faster, Sooner, Now

Hey now, you got me by the tongue
I feel like there's nowhere I belong
And they're working it pretty hard
And they're selling it by the yard
But its more than I can afford
That's all that I know

Leader, it comes as no surprise
See now, these are coins that were his eyes
Silver dollars and hoods of steel
Tell me nothing can be revealed
The more you get it the less you feel
That's all that I know
Starts a shivering in my spine
And a fever I can't define
It gets colder the higher you climb
That's all that I know

You kill me with every word you say
I'm dead now, along with faith and chivalry
Silver dollars and hoods of steel
Tell me nothing can be revealed
The more you get it the less you feel
That's all that I know
Colder the higher you climb
Colder the higher you climb
Colder the higher you climb
That's all that I know

Late Night Radio lyrics - David Gray

Oh Mary Jane
She step on a train
Head for the city lights
Yearning inside
To swim with the tide
And taste it, alright
Bag on her shoulder
Breathing the cold
There by the metal tracks
She saw it all shine
And swore in her mind
She'd never go back

And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
Na na

Couldn't have dreamed
The things that she seen
There on the avenue
She stared right into a million eyes
That looked her right through
Telling Red Joe
The places she'd go
And wiping the table clean
She got no idea
The demon of fear
Or what a broken heart mean

And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
Na na na na na not at all
Na na na na na not at all
Na na na na na not at all
Na na

New York was dark
Dirty and stark
Burning with yellow wings
Everyday come
With fever and hum
Who knows what it brings
Walking a wall
Without a thought
To fall and hit the ground
Sweet Mary Jane
With eyes like the rain
Alive to the sound

And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
Na na na na

Sell Sell Sell lyrics - David Gray

I beg to differ
To break the chain
To draw a line right through
Tomorrow
And cancel every claim
I've seen reflections
Beneath my skin
And drums beating for battle
In the eyes of children

And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell

Oh violent flowers
You fill the screen
Betray your mother
And change your name
So tall and fickle
And blind as snow
Running headfirst for oblivion
Cause you've nowhere else to go

And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell

In chill of winter
In dead of night
Each so familiar with the hunger
That they got no appetite
They talk of loving
I hear her say
That as fast as I can give it
He's taking it away

And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell

And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell

A weeping willow
The desert wind
So many learn to swallow
So few to understand
The deepest longing
This cup of faith
Where to put them in a world
Where no innocence is safe

Hold On To Nothing lyrics - David Gray

Hold on to nothing
Hold on to coldest steel
It chills you down inside
When you see just what is real
Paste it up and tear it down
Move it on along the rushing road
Seventeen Fahrenheit
Feel the winter grow

There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
Nowhere to write it down
Write it down

Step down the alley
Walking against the stony crowd
Trying not to listen
But they shout so loud
Chew you up and spit you out
Crush you between its finger and its thumb
The world in all its anger
Oh and there's always more to come

There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
Nowhere to write it down
Write it down

Everytime lyrics - David Gray

Down from the doorway
And into the street
I hear the morning bell
Over and over the pattern repeat
I hear the morning bell
And all the faces cold as stone
In the January chill
You have led me into worlds unknown
And I'm walking there still

Everytime now
Everytime now
I think of you mine now
I just can't contain
I'm seven feet tall and
There's nightingales calling
Shooting stars falling
Like jewels in the rain

I ask myself I ask myself
Can this life be the same
That spun me round and put me down
And fill me up with shame
And all the heads are turning now
Down the Tottenham court road
Cause I just can't help but sing it out
Case I just might explode

Everytime now
Everytime now
I think of you mine now
I can't comprehend
The saxophones blowing
Cherry trees growing
Right here in my hand

A dance in the moonlight
So high on a June night
Magazines strewn right
Over the chair
Your spine a white ladder
Your eyes singing sadder
Nothing else seems to matter
As soon as you're there
And everytime now
Everytime now
I think of you mine now
I just can't contain
I'm seven feet tall and
There's nightingales calling
Shooting stars falling
Like jewels in the rain
Everytime now
Everytime now
Everytime now
Everytime
And la la la na etc.

Magdalena lyrics - David Gray

Morning, sit in the morning sun
Evening, watching the shadow come
Through the bright streets of London
I feel the rain
Upon my eyes as I wonder
At this spell that I'm under, Magdalen
Since you came along

Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I'm burning up from head to tow eh
Magdalena when you're gone

Dreaming, we're drinking the night away
Talking, way past the break of day
Through the bright streets of London
I feel the rain
Upon my eyes as I wonder
At this spell that I'm under, Magdalen
Since you came along

Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I'm burning up from head to tow eh
Magdalena when you're gone

Nananananananananananananana
Nananananananananananananana

Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I'm burning up from head to tow eh
Magdalena when you're gone

Smile lyrics - David Gray

I'm falling by the wayside
I'm sinking with the sun
Everything I do
Is wrong wrong wrong
Gazing at the billboards
Staring down the broken lines

Sleeping on the backseat
I could not believe
You were right up there beside me
Tugging at my sleeve
And putting up your lipstick
Just like you did a thousand times
And something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
Something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
I wake up in the darkness
Its more than I can stand
I'm reaching out to touch it
It breaks up in my hand
I've never known the headlights
To shine so cold

I'm waiting for the morning
To steal over the hills
I'm urging for the road
To speed these wheels
I'm watching for the sunrise
Turning all the teardrops gold

Cause something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
Something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
And something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah etc.

Only The Lonely lyrics - David Gray

I'm raising up my voice
To the walls and to the sky
It seeks no explanation
It waits for no reply
Really it is nothing
Just a cry to the wilds

I'm delirious with chaos
I'm wonderstruck with awe
In my soul I'm dreaming only
Of your velvet shore
When I'm walking there my face
Untangles like a child

And only the lonely
Only the lonely
Lonely could know me

I've been talking all night long
There's nothing more to say
So I'm searching every mirror
For a trace of yesterday
But the air it holds no traces
Where the eagles were flying

I'm haunted by the skyline
The concrete and the rain
The window speaks of winter
So I'll set my heart again
Somewhere in the dust
A curlew is crying

And only the lonely
Only the lonely
Lonely could know me
I'm talking all night long
Talking all night

There's a copper moon that's buried
Where solitude expands
And distant planets moving
They're weighing on my hands
They're darkening my pages

And there's daylight in my fingers
But it's snowing in my bones
Been sucking on the echo
Of a thousand telephones
And when we meet again
We will be strangers

And only the lonely
Only the lonely
Lonely could know me
And only the lonely
Only the lonely
Lonely could know me

What Am I Doing Wrong? lyrics - David Gray

Ghost on the highway
Bird with metal wings
Ghost on the highway
Bird with metal wings
Crowd all around me
Just don't hear a thing
Ghost on the highway
Bird with metal wings

What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing tell me
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone me

Stand in the doorway
There in yellow light
Down in the doorway
Bathed in morning light
Saw you before me
Thought maybe it might
Down in the doorway
Under yellow light

What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing tell me
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone me

You never spoke a word
But its over
I saw the way you turned your head
You never spoke a word
But its understood

What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing tell me
She don't telephone
She don't telephone
She don't telephone
She don't telephone me

Sitting here late at night
Sitting here late at night
My heart is aching
Heard it all before

What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing tell me

Gutters Full Of Rain lyrics - David Gray

A gutter full of rain
An empty picture frame
A house out at the edges of the city
Never noticing the war
Til it's right there at your door
And suddenly your hands are bloody

I was seeking to possess
Now another girl's caress
Is on your flesh
The bitterness is tasted
There's nobody in your chair
No hand to touch my hair
The sun even the air seems wasted

Let it go now
Let it all slip away
And we'll start it all over again
Me like a million others before
Trying to make sense of the rain

Were these twenty years a dream
Was it ever as it seemed
Get to wonder if it really existed
Cause the thief who stole my life
Has taken too my faith
I can see now how the world gets
Twisted

Let it go now
Let it all slip away
And we'll start it all over again
Me like a million others before
Trying to make sense of the rain

In spite of all the shame
Sometimes I hear your name
I think of us when we were younger
Then I'm shutting out the noise
And I'm trying to hear the voice
That used to tell me love was
Stronger

Light another cigarette
But the one I got's still lit
I can't seem to keep my fingers
Steady
Never noticing the war
Til it's right there at your door
And suddenly your hands are bloody

Forever Is Tommorow Is Today lyrics - David Gray

Tuesday my heart is brimming
I'm a child in the wild wind
Dead leaves and daylight dimming
No beginning and no end
Inside a candle of defiance
Moonlight
A river of pearls

Cause we're going to need more
Than money and science
To see us through this world

You say it can't be done
You'd rather die of fun
Get out of the way
For me for you for everyone
Forever is tomorrow is today

Shut all the windows
Shut all the doors
We're keeping it all out of sight
We're keeping it all
It's tearing us apart
You don't know your good
From your bad from your black
From your blood from your wrong
From your right
So you camouflage your heart

I don't want no other distractions
There's too much here to see
Faint hearts or jaded reactions
Contraptions of history

You say it can't be done
You'd rather die of fun
Get out of the way
For me for you for everyone
Forever is tomorrow is today

Shut all the windows
Shut all the doors
I'm keeping it all out of sight
I'm keeping it all
It's mine and mine alone
Corrosion collision
I need a vision
To tear off the cloak of the night
And shatter eyes of stone

You say it can't be done
You'd rather die of fun
Get out of the way
For me for you for everyone
Forever is tomorrow is today
Forever is tomorrow is today
Forever is tomorrow is today

Folk Song lyrics - David Gray

I have waited the night over
For some word to come
I asked the moon o'er the clover
But the moon she is dumb

You have made me a promise
At midnight we'd go
And that we should be married
Sailing westward ho

Such words you have spoken
You have told me a lie
That it could not be broken
When you knew it must die

There's no light in heaven
My eye can see
That my heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
Go free

Like honey the ocean
In the morning breeze
I'll take my tears to the water
That the rivers may freeze

There's no light in heaven
Can shine for me
That my heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
Go free

What folly is beauty
What trick of the skin
Desire it's fancy
And ruin its whim
Your child within me
And what can I do
My blood fill with needles
That he look like you

There's no light in heaven
My eye can see
That my heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
My heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
No light in heaven
No light for me

"Flesh" (1994)

What Are You? lyrics - David Gray

What are you?
What are you becoming?
What have you become?

Once you sang your own song
Now you're dancing to the same drum
What have you become?

And what is that you're wearing?
Money's ugly confidence

You sacrificed the poem of your imagination
For these pounds and pence

Me I take the cynic's role
Throw scorn on your empty mind
I've seen this monotonous world
Make dull what used to shine
You lost interest
You lost your spine
Oh that spine fine fine

Yeah
When there' nothing left
On this plate you're handed
You find yourself
Running the gauntlet
Of all of these double standards
It's very thin ice over which you're skating
And after this black winter the thaw

So what are you
Tell me tell me what are you
And what have you become

The Light lyrics - David Gray

You turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
That shoulders in the night
And these tumbling boulders of desire
Come rolling off the shadows of me

You say I thought time was meant to take away the hurtin'
As your lonely silhouette closes the curtain
Back on the road destination uncertain
So lets get in this car and drive
And this feeling I feel so strong
So powerful it can't be wrong
Now the whole frosted night is just a song
Song for you

And the moon is splashed right over the street
Like my tears on your thighs so pale
Its just you and me in the sheets
And I hope the whole wide world is just a jail
When you're away from me

And its rolling on by
Here come the night
Turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
That smoulders in the night tumbling boulders of desire
Rolling, rolling...
Rolling out the shadows of me
Turn out the light

Coming Down lyrics - David Gray

Tears falling slow
From the bridge
Into the river below
In your eyes, I start to see
A starry veil,
The ocean of infinity

Moon and stars above me
Mingle with the blood
Inside my vein
These empty arms
That should be
Holding you close
Through nights of winter rain
I'm trying to spell
What only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever
Coming down

I'm drowning in shallows
Cos its in so deep
There's neon melting in the rain
Took too much powder too sleep
Cos when I hold you naked
When I see you laugh
I got a sword to stem the rivers
And cut the moon in half

Frozen stars above me
Mingle with the blood
Inside my vein
Empty arms that should be
Holding you close
Through nights of winter rain
I'm trying to spell
What only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever
Coming down

We danced wild
Kicked off our shoes
Not a cloud
In the skies to confuse
Now the sky is cold
The sea is wide
And there's nothing to be done
'cept reflecting the sun
And scratching the mountainside

Frozen stars above me
Mingle with the blood
Inside my vein
Empty arms that should be
Holding you close
Through nights of winter rain
I'm trying to spell
What only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever
Coming down

Falling Free lyrics - David Gray

All of my senses overthrown
By the might of your skin
And the lamplight on your cheek bone
Drawing me further in
No sentence I can speak
For the wonder so unique
Breaking like a wave upon the shore
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Since you opened up the door

See how the sky is made of sapphire
The colours flowing through our hands
The moon is fire in your hair
A million miles beyond what science understands
Smell that mountain heaven
I don't remember ever
Feeling like this before
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Since you opened up the door

And if every window pane should shatter
If every wall should fall apart
Well it might hurt a bit
But would it matter
This diamond in my heart
There's no need to nail it to the ground
There's no need to smother it with sense
Just listen to the rhythm of your heart
That pounds and trust it all to chance
'cause we're standing face to face
With the Angel of grace
And don't it just taste so pure

Mercy me, I'm falling free
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Since you opened up the door

Made Up My Mind lyrics - David Gray

Lightening strikes, silver motorbikes
Roaring down the open road, wind on my skin
I'm hungry to begin, my cup has overflown
So let fall the rain down into these desert veins
Taking back what they stole
These diamonds in the mine
Can afford to become fine
In someone else's pigeon hole

So I made up my mind
Made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind

Half past seven way up in the heaven
The stars are singing in the sky
Lying half dressed, your head upon my breast
Listening to the ocean's lullaby
Standing where we are, it seems so far
From the cold light of day
With the faces full of grief,
And the grinding up of teeth
Has been eating my belief away

So I made up my mind
I made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind
Instead of lagging now..

Cracks in the veneer and the light so severe
Shining down the avenue try to join the throng
But it's feeling all wrong what are you supposed to do
Shoulder that despair take a lung of dirty air
Turn to watch the sun set red
And the ruins of a culture
Of a sky that's filled with vultures
Circling over your head

So I made up my mind
I made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind
Instead of lagging behind

I made up my mind....

Mystery Of Love lyrics - David Gray

The city gates at twilight
And a red ship sinking
Behind winter's grey wall
Ice in the wind
But a fire in the embers
Of my heart
As darkness falls
In a candlelit room
Where your eyes are laughing
Smoking in the red chair
And nothing in the world
'cept the beating of my heart
Against the nerves of the air

And I know there's a light
At the end of the tunnel
'cause I taste it on your lips
And I feel a weight
That can bend me double
You lift it with your fingertips
So often it happens
That words prove useless
In the face of how it feels
So it is as the mystery of love
Keeps growing
The more my heart reveals

Temptations endless whispers
Try to keep it in perspective
So much to distract
Walking on a wire
While your juggling desire
It's all part of your balancing act
And it gets hard to know
Just what you believe
As the argument rages on
But for all of the talk
It's only true to say
That if you have no hope
There is none

A tangle of tongues
Flesh flowers and thistles
Of conscience, spittle and skin
We can't change the past
So we'll raise this cup to our lips
And drink it all in
And meantime back in civilisation
The rain is cold as steel
But the mystery of love
It just keep growing
The more my heart reveals

As sure as the rose
The bright day blooms
As surely still it fades
And the night kindles stars
On empty winds
And ghosts along the collonades
And slow but sure
The sands are falling
As the bridge burns
Beneath the wheel
And the mystery of love
It just keeps growing
The more my heart reveals
The more my heart reveals

Lullaby lyrics - David Gray

Its a sad old world
That's turning tonight
As I slide through the streets
Moonlight and memory burning
And in my hand your broken dream

My watery eyes
I sing for you this lullaby
Let the shadow fall from your window
Let the morning light fill your head
Stand up and let the wild wind blow
Right into your soul till the night is dead

All these useless emotions
Churning round
As I search these bare walls for a clue
And all the time
The truth is flashing in my mind
That when a heart gets broken
There's nothing you can do

My watery eyes
I sing for you this lullaby
Let the shadow fall from your window
Let the morning light fill your head
Stand up and let the wild wind blow
Right into your soul till the night is dead

And I'm packing my belongings
Hey I'll be gone before the noon arrives
Cos I know there's no use pretending
Soon it'll all be alright

But hey
Let the shadow fall from your window
Let the morning light fill your head
Stand up and let the wild wind blow
Right into your soul till the night is dead

See the dawn break gold
When the night is dead

Hear the bells

New Horizons lyrics - David Gray

Weight on my shoulders
But I'm walking so tall
Out into the new horizon
Wonder in everything
No matter how great or small
Howlin' like the midnight
Howlin' like the midnight sun
And this ain't no pale reflection
This is the real thing
New horizon
New horizon within

And your heart ain't yours to control
No matter how tight the reigns
Love will find it's own direction
A time to reap, a time to sow
And many a time to cry in vain
But now the time to celebrate
The glory of this imperfection
Same thing that's scrawled across the stars
Is written under our skin
New horizon
New horizon within

Things come too easy, I get suspicious
Things come too slow, I get bored
If it don't work out I get superstitious
But if it does, oh my word

So I'm gathering all the remnants of beauty
From this wilderness in spin
And now I'm gonna light my own flame
'cause I'm charged with the radiance of the dawn
That's been so long breaking
Now there ain't nowhere
There ain't nowhere I won't write your name
There's a time to search for understanding
Sometime you just gotta sing
New horizon
New horizon within

Baby there's no need to get precious
When you know that everything must change
Complacency, it can be so vicious
Turn this love into a cage

Same thing that's scrawled across the stars
Is written under our skin
New horizon
New horizon within

Loves Old Song lyrics - David Gray

It's like this
It's all in here
Just one kiss
Will make that clear
So let the flower open
Let the ship sail
Don't need no meaningless token
To hear the nightingale

For everything that's been
For all that's yet to come
Brow full of moonbeams
Singing loves old song

Beauty threads its needle
In every eye a light will shine
From the graveyard to the cradle
All the bells of wonder chime
No further complication
Here for the queen or for the pawn
Night of such revelation
The Jew is trembling on the thorn

For everything that's been
For all that's yet to come
Brow full of moonbeams
Singing loves old song

Loves old song
Playing in our hearts
Binding it together
Pulling it apart

Loves old song
Playing pure and bold
Time has come to read
What's written in your soul

Yeah yeah yeah

Out in the fields of bloody slumber
Shadows fleeing from the sun
Without aim and without number
These children of oblivion

For everything that's been
For everything's that come
A brow full of moonbeams
Singing loves old song

Loves old song
Playing in our hearts
Binding it together
Pulling it apart

Loves old song
Playing pure and bold
Time has come to read
What's written there in your soul

Yah yah yeah
Whoa oh oh

For everything that's been
For everything's that come
Brow full of moonbeams
Singing loves old song

Flesh lyrics - David Gray

As the bell must strike the hour
As the west must stab the sun
So our hearts
Must heed the flow
Of deeper tides that run
Far beyond the bare indifference
That prosperity esteems
Where the spirit
Raves and dances
Through our very veins

At winters edge you found me
By the fields of wild gold
My hands still filled with ashes
From fires long cold
You pulled me from the wreckage
Of bitterness and blame
Flung open the page
And put some flesh on
The bones of my dreams

On the streets
The blossom snowing
And the drum is beating slow
And I hear you speak so clear
Well I'm slicing through the fear
Setting all the beacons
Blazing, baby oh!
It's staring out plainer than ever
Brighter than all the fools
Gold that gleams
It's simply now or never
Putting flesh on the bones
Of my dreams

Putting flesh on the bones
Of my dreams
Putting flesh on the bones
Of my dreams

And they can plunder
The cave of sorrows
They can strip the gallery bare
Try to build a fence
Around the visions
In our heads, choke every spark
In a cloak of despair
But we got something
They can't stifle
With their price tags
And picture frames
Got a flower for every rifle
Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams

"A Century Ends" (1993)

Shine lyrics - David Gray

I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true
That our love it has faded
Like the summer run through
So we'll walk down the shoreline
One last time together
Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts Like a feather
But who knows what's waiting
In the wings of time
Dry your eyes
We gotta go where we can shine

Don't be hiding in sorrow
Or clinging to the past
With your beauty so precious
And the season so fast
No matter how cold the horizon appear
Or how far the first night
When I held you near
You gotta rise from these ashes
Like a bird of flame
Step out of the shadow
We've gotta go where we can shine

For all that we struggle
For all we pretend
It don't come down to nothing
Except love in the end
And ours is a road
That is strewn with goodbyes
But as it unfolds
As it all unwinds
Remember your soul is the one thing
You just can't compromise
Take my hand
We're gonna go where we can shine
We're gonna go where we can shine
We're gonna go where we can shine

(and look, and look)
Through the windows of midnight
Moonfoam and silver

A Century Ends lyrics - David Gray

Cast your eyes into the distance
Try to focus on it all
Find a spirit of resistance
Instead of pride before the fall
Forge some opposition
From disparate strands
It ain't the prettiest position
As a century ends

Unstable situation
Faces made of wax
Streams of melting glass
Sheets of butchered facts
The roar of the machine
Hooded hearts and jewelled hands
And anger spilling out like gasoline
As a century ends

Everything I seen, everything that I heard
It ain't even the tip of the iceberg
Fire down memory lane
So pass me my rose tinted glasses again

Through a fog of contradiction
Out to the lake of tears
See society admiring it's own reflection
Chase a light that shines and disappears
Careful what you say, 'cos reality offends
Just sit back and let your soul decay
As a century ends

And it's easy to get weary
As you fight to get it done
Gainst a popular theory
That it's over 'fore it's even begun
Strain the limit of compassion
Tend a wound that never mends
And honesty still out of fashion
As a century ends

Debauchery lyrics - David Gray

Drunken ferry boat woman
Swayin' on your sea
If I turn on the gasfire
By the rain rattled window
Won't you sail over to me

The hail storms tumbles
The rail line rumbles
You move in the porch with me
On an overcast day
The pale winter city
An afternoon's debauchery

Your blouse your skirt
I'll undo them so gentle
With beautiful care
I'm a lonely man
With five bottles of wine
I'd like you to share

The hail storm tumbles
Rain line rumbles
You move through the doors with me
On an overcast day
The pale winter city
An afternoon's debauchery

Orange street light
Afternoon becomes night
You drink your wine from a mug
There's cats at the backdoor
The snow is two inches
You roll down your tights on the rug

The hail storm tumbles
The rail line rumbles
You lie on the floor with me
Come closer my love
I'm badly in need
Of an afternoon's debauchery

Let The Truth Sting lyrics - David Gray

The hour is out of joint
Black sun has risen
And the river of words
Is flowing on through
The cages of tradition
They're handing out emptiness
We'll take it, cos it's given
Free with this plastic innocence
And these standards of living

Questions, lighted questions
Burnin' holes into my head
Hanging like shadows o'er the sun
Staring out like the eyes of the dead
And sometimes my soul flickers
As the wind of change blows cold
Over the mire of repetition
Down the corridors of rigmarole

What I say, what I think
What I put down in ink
I'm only tryin' to find a way to understand
And I mean no harm
I'm just searching for calm
In the storm of mankind

Do you find it there
In the sea of faces
That drowns you every day
Or in the silence and rubble and empty spaces
Where children and rottweilers play
Is it buried in the praise
Given so cheap
With a meaningless movement of the jaws
In the looking glass
That flatters you
Or in the rattle of hollow applause

Blind circle, moon and sun
Body willing, mind undone
One pain ending while another begins
Lies, ruin, disease
Into wounds like these
Let the truth sting

From the hub to the limit
Through the urban hollows
Out into the poles of the extreme
To echo through the numbness
Of these godless minutes
In the shadow of delusion's regime

But here watching the night
As it opens like a flower
And the day starts to rust
Feeling time pound
Like a silent hammer
On this empire of dust
And I'm thinking about the bullet
And the TV screen, the dollar, and the clenched fist
And if we're searching for peace
How come we still believe
In hatred as the catalyst

Through the borderline
In front and behind
Down the road of thorns
Between the barbwire and the soul
Bitters and chains
Is all that remains
Where the wheel has rolled

I feel it from the pit of my stomach
Into the ditch of my mind
Inside the chambers of my heart
As I stare half blind
At these walls of cardboard
At this space that I've rented
At your beauty that is crumbling
Though you try so hard to prevent it

On and on
Body willing, mind undone
One pain ending while another begins
Lies, ruin, disease
Into wounds like these
Let the truth sting
Let the truth sting
Let the truth sting

Gathering Dust lyrics - David Gray

I got no reason
But that I must
Maybe I feel
Like I've been gatherin' dust
I must leave this harbour for the sea
I'm too young to settle down and make a home
But I don't know where I'm wanting to be
I just know I have to be there alone

Stole my time, all my time
Stole my time for you

Pale winter sun
Is beatin' the ground
Why'm I throwin' away
The best thing that I've found
My young heart's in tatters and I'm sure
That it will be a long time healing
It's so hard to see what I'm doing this for
When loneliness is all that I'm feeling

Stole my time, all my time
Spend my time, for you

Now the wind it is blowing
Blowing leaves from the trees
I've got no use knowing
That with time it'll ease
I don't know where I'm going
Hope I get there soon
Cos my soul is hollow
As the sorrowful moon
Na na na na...

The night is raining on my weary head
Taking me back

See the sun spread its wings of gold
As the dawn unfurls
Hear the song that the moon sings
To the darkened world
Feel the fire lighting
In the bitter cold
It's like the light that shines
Through the windows of your soul

Wisdom lyrics - David Gray

Time no good
Wisdom no good
Patience no good
To me any more

Now night has fallen on the stair
Some things you do you can never repair
Seems I'm always pretending
Things aren't there when they are

And the leaves are nearly off the trees
The traffic thick past yellow windows
And I'm lost inside the frozen headlights
Thinking of you

And the trees are looking like bones
And the afternoon's filled with storm and rain
I'm staring out of this metal train
Thinking of you
And the trees are looking like bones
The afternoon filled with rain and storm
And I'm tangled up in memory's thorns
No way through

Trees like bones, yellow windows
Memories thorns, oh and you

Lead Me Upstairs lyrics - David Gray

I care little for my body she said
I couldn't care less about my soul
And as she led me upstairs in whispers
My whole summer turned cold

I'll lead you upstairs
I'll lead you upstairs
If you've got no worries
Then I've got no cares
I'll lead you upstairs

I told her people had been talking
About how dark she was inside
She said said my hopes are buried in the soil Deep in the earth outside
And with one twist of the world
She brought me to her side
She asked me for the truth one time
And I all I did was lied

Living Room lyrics - David Gray

My good friends speak
Like they did last year
Last nights just a blur
Through a head full of beer
My good friends speak
Like they did last year
And last year's just a blur
Through a head of full beer

Where's your wisdom
Put that broken bottle down
Let the wind in your sails
Take you out of this town so sad

I think I'm dying
And if life's just a living room
Then I'm in the hall and I'm glad
If life's just a living room
I'm in the hall and I'm glad
Oh I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad

Now the dawn it has broke
Still the night don't clear
Memories falling in the mornin' rain
I'm up too close, to see it clear
And last year's just a blur
Through a head of full beer

Birds Without Wings lyrics - David Gray

Wishing that something would happen
A change in this place,
'cos I'm tearing off the fancy wrapping
Find an empty package

Take for a while
Your trumpet from your lip
Loosen your hold, loosen your grip
On your old ways
That have fallen out of step
In a changing time
Hoist a new flag
Hoist a new flag

Angry sun burn down
Judging us all
Guilty of neglect and disrespect
And thinking small

And death by boredom
And death by greed
If we can't stop taking
More than we need

But across the fractured landscape
I find the same things
Tired ideas
Birds without wings

Birds without wings
Birds without wings

And these are just thoughts
On lack-lustre times
I've no interest
In excuses you can find

Like you've had a hard day
Now you've too tired to care
Now you're too tired to care
You've had a hard day

Well across the fractured landscape
I see the same things
Tired ideas broken values
Many with the notion
That to share is to lose
A hollow people bound by a lack
Of imagination and too much looking back Without the courage
To give a new thing a chance
Grounded by this ignorance

(and the cat comes)
We're just,

Birds without wings
Birds without wings
Birds without wings

It's All Over lyrics - David Gray

In the bitter violet night
The stars wear sour grins
In the vastness of the black sky
I'm cradled in your arms
Unbridled by alarm
'cos I know the end is night

It's all over bar the shoutin'
One things for sure
Its all over now
Its all over now

Confusion wanders in
Strides the evening like a king
Chaos and turmoil prevail
Bedlam reigns, hope all is drowned
Ah but strangely we settle down
Resigned to the sinking ship on which we sail

Our love's just smithereens
Too much beer in my head
Another night is getting late
And I don't know where to go
There's just this long white road
And I can't think straight
No I can't think straight

Accumulates lyrics - David Gray

Well it grips, and its grins
It's convulsing, it gyrates
And it whispers, from the winds
Lovingly insinuates
[?]
Emphasising your least likeable traits

Baby it accumulates
Baby it accumulates

In the depots, in the silo's
On the pellets, in the crates
Down the aisles, breathed in smiles[?]
In great mountains, on our plates
Like the love of God, it enters you
In all kinds of morphis states

Baby it accumulates
Baby it accumulates

Mindless need is, [?]
In our homes and down our streets
Singing like some mythic creature
Of great Edens, through the gates
And you can have better suction
Even want and destruction
And all of this add very, compare and it rates

Baby it accumulates
Baby it accumulates
Baby it accumulates

Looking down from the high rise
Staring back with your own eyes
Playing games with the numbers
Messing round with the dates
Altering its positions
Muttering sweet propositions
Understand its to get ya between the sheets
And you might start out kicking and screaming
Pretty soon your gonna wind up sucking all it takes

Cause baby it accumulates
Baby it accumulates
Yeah baby it accumulates

Cry lyrics - David Gray

Jane, oh now Jane
You got me like a dog, oh now Jane
It's hard biding my time
You're sitting pretty in the light
For your word know when i'm gone you'll cry for me

Cause oh, since i see those lonely eyes of fire in your skin
Well all the world i had known, turned into shadow, into stone
For your word know when i'm gone you'll cry for me
And oh when i'm gone you'll cry

All the things you used to tell me
Make me feel so sure
Now i don't know what's wrong or what's right anymore

Gave you my ring and you smile to receive it
Down at the station you said goodbye
That our love be lost, who am i to believe it
Now i can't find no easy summer
That's why

These three months are gone
Wait by the door and no letter come
Today i walk in a dream
Through the streets, out to the stream
Where we lay, i know when i'm gone you'll cry for me

Now tongues they can talk
Just how they want i know in my heart
What's true but oh when i stings
I'm terrified of all the things
I might do, and oh when i'm gone you'll cry for me
And oh when i'm gone you'll cry

All the things you used to tell me
Make me feel so sure
Now i don't know what's wrong or what's right anymore

Gave you my ring and you smile to receive it
Down at the station you said goodbye
That our love be lost, who am i to believe it
Now i can't find no easy summer
That's why

Destroyer lyrics - David Gray

More panic than intent
More luck than good judgment
They're raising your body from the ground
The dreamer has woken
The spirit has spoken
They're raising your body from the ground

What you gonna do when the rain comes through
On your pretty head
Is it so easy to pretend?

Like visions of Goya
The silent destroyer
They're raising your body from the ground
From the ground

What you gonna do when it all comes through
On your weary head
Is it so easy to pretend?

You want it
You need it
Break your back, now feed it
They're raising your body from the ground
Oh yeah
They're raising your body from the ground
From the ground
They're raising your body from the ground
Yeah
From the ground

Enter Lightly lyrics - David Gray

Enter lightly
Leave on tiptoe
Reach your hands across
But don't you grab; no
You can ask, why not
But never why

And if you seek the truth
Let not a word to pass, your lips
Lest you know it, For a Lie

Take it easy
Don't let that grass grow
See it clearly... yeah
It's through a window
Take a good step back
But don't be shy

You want to speak the truth
Let not a word to pass, your lips
Lest you know it, For a Lie

For a Lie

Say the word, Take me back to the start of it
Down a road leading God knows where
They drag me out; Fly me straight to the heart of it
Hanging on, by my fear, the tears
For what it's worth, Seems just as real
Do me now as it's always been.

Seems unlikely, and what would I know
What would I know, mmmhmmm
And if you seek the truth
Let not a word to pass your lips
Lest you know it, For a Lie

Lorelei lyrics - David Gray

At the Lorelei
Sing it sweet for me tonight
All my dreams to long tonight
If only i could be the one
Hold on tight I need ya son
Wouldn't even fire the gun
If only I could be

Tie your heart and soul
To the lightning pole
Still it ain't no guarantee
In the firing line
Find your eyes aren't blind Pretty soon i'm free

At the Lorelei
Sing it sweet for me tonight
All my dreams to long tonight
If only i could be the one
Oh my god I need ya son
I won't ever let ya down
If only It could be

Through the carnage thorn
With your face like stone
Till there ain't no dignity
Pretty soon i'm free

At the Lorelei
Sing it sweet for me tonight
All my dreams to long denied
If only i could be the way
Say those things we used to say
Sometime was back yesterday
If only It could be

If only It could be
If only It could be

Mighty Wrong Time lyrics - David Gray

Losing my sense of direction losing my nerve
Losing my faith in change, in the god that i serve
Just a regular regular person with regular dreams
Sparks in the forehead now and feeling my blood scream

In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
Fill a room full of starving children luminous hope
Beaming live via satellite to a million homes
What to do with this sense of proportion
To do with my eyes eyes and my forehead now
Feeling the blue skies in a mighty wrong time

In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time

Sucking sucking on sympathy cigarettes feeding my face
Turning my back each day on anything I can't face
What to do with these streets where i'm walking wrong

In my soul fire burning everywhere, spinning out of control mighty wrong time
Images pouring voices unclear misty morning,
There you go darling blood of ? music pumping,
Crowd all around me grinning from ear to ear
Invisible tears why in a mighty wrong time

In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time

Aluminium feminine compact fits in my head
Give me confidence softness lets me feel what i really am
Staring up at these women all shining twenty feet tall
Understand they're not on earth but wanting it all

In a mighty wrong time you better believe it
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time na na na
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time na na na na na
Mighty wrong time mighty wrong

Monday Morning lyrics - David Gray

No, can't make it on my own, in this life
I try to hold it but it's gone, too fast this life,
I put my hand upon my heart well I don't know where to start
Wasting all my time (my time)

Lipstick mark or nicotine all the things that might have been
Monday morning falling down on this life
Blind, so stupid didn't see with my eyes
This love so bright and full of me your face your face,
I put my hand upon my heart girl i don't know where to start,
Missing all my friends (my friends)
A hundred miles from anywhere sadness creeping in my hair

Monday morning falling down na na na na na oh yeah oh yeah
I put my hand upon my head what's to say it's all been said
Nothing in my mind (my mind)
Twenty pound and fifteen pence down in the park the ambulance

Monday morning falling down on this life
On this life on this life on this life
Can't make it on my own in this life can't make it on my own in this life
Can't make it on my own in this life na na na na na oh yeah na na na na na
Oh yeah oh yeah na na na na na

Roots Of Love lyrics - David Gray

If the silence doesn't kill you then an illusion will
You're starin' at the sky
But the moon isn't gonna pay our bills
And we're laughin' 'bout it loud
But oh you know it ain't no joke
See them cake the roads with glitter
Trade your dreams for smoke

There's teardrops in the treetops
The wind is whistling through the mountain's teeth
A song for every wounded dove
And we're out further than the razor's edge
Going down down to the roots of love

And its rainin' in my kitchen
A storm in my front room
The instructions don't say nothing
Just desire consume
And the stars are falling right into my eye
Might be built out of stand
But maybe baby it's paradise

There's teardrops in the treetops
The wind is whistling through the mountain's teeth
A song for every wounded dove
And we're out further than the razor's edge
Going down down to the roots
Going down down to the roots
Going down down to the roots of love na na na na...

The Longest Time lyrics - David Gray

I finally belong
The lonely night is gone I won't forget it
And all the love you show
I gotta let you know
You won't regret it

Now you're in my heart
We'll never be apart No-o-o

And it might take the longest time
Til we're finding the rainbow's end
But it don't matter rain or shine
If we're finding the rainbow ...
Free the love that's burning in my soul

The thorn was in my side In loneliness I cried: "Hey, I'm in trouble!
I'm punching at the walls
They're laughing as I fall
Seeing double"

But now you're in my heart
We'll never be apart No-o-o
And it might take the longest time
Til we're finding the rainbow's end
But it don't matter rain or shine If we're finding the rainbow
... Free the love that's burning in my soul
[x3] ... in my soul Free the love that's burning in my soul [x3] ... in my soul

Tired Of Me lyrics - David Gray

I dont know where you're goin
But it seems like a mighty long way now
I dont know where you're goin
But it seems like a mighty long time
Since I've seen you're face
So I'm dreamin, I'm dreamin that day now
To see you comin honey neath that sunny sky

Everywhere I go and everything I do and I say now
Nothing ringing true it doesnt matter how hard that I try
Cause all I want is you so im wishing, I'm wishing I pray now
To see you comin honey neath that sunny sky

[Chorus:]
Everynight when i go out
Get drunk till I fall down
Bury my head I don't want to see
That i'm gettin nowhere
And time is draggen so slowly
So tired now, honey
So tired of me
Oh, so tired of me

I dont need you to say you will stay with me baby forever
I dont need you to tell me your heart and your soul are all mine
Its okay with me you can smile and say nothin whatever
I see you smiling honey I'll be doin fine

[Repeat Chorus]

What Should It Matter? lyrics - David Gray

What should it matter if the sun don't rise
It's midnight forever in my Janie's eyes
And what should it matter if the curves don't spring
When I'm finding winter in everything

I live in this cold wind city all my life
Walking around still looks the same
Same people coming and going, doesn't feel right
See it all now so far away

What should it matter if the earth may slide
Sky break in pieces and stars collide
The littlest sense left in this world of ours
My Janie took with her in the wee small hours

I live in this cold wind city all my life
Walking around still looks the same
Same people coming and going, doesn't feel right
Watch it all now so far away

I live in this cold wind city all my life
Walking around still looks the same still looks the same
Same people coming and going, doesn't feel right
See it all now so far away so far

And all of the wisdom I held so high shining and useless as this April sky
The littlest sense left in this world of ours
My Janie took with her in the wee small hours
My Janie took with her in the wee small hours
Now i'm finding winter in everything

You're The World To Me lyrics - David Gray

Started talkin' then the line went dead
Never heard a single word you said
Babe I said I'd give my right arm
Every day that I decide on

Baby, baby, you're the world to me

I woke up, the room was cold
You're lookin' tired, feelin' old
Cursin' all the changes I've to say

The more I cursed into the flood
The less it seemed to do me good
Clearer became my mind I could say

Baby, baby, you're the world to me

My head is roarin' like a waterfall
Give me everythin' or none at all
You don't have to turn the sound up
Babe, I want you from the ground up

Baby, baby, you're the world to me
Baby, baby, you're the world to me

Baby, baby you're the world to me
Baby, baby you're the world to me

You don't have to turn the sound up
Babe, I want you from the ground up

Baby, baby, you're the world to me

Iridescent like a starlet
Won't you be my little darlin'?

Baby, baby, you're the world to me
Baby, baby, you're the world to me
Baby, baby, you're the world to me
