Four minutes left to go, is this the end, then
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do
The official story's a four minute warning

Sasha stands in his yellow cafe
yes the heart of the city is here, so he tells me
Sitting on his red leather sofa, he's rolling another
Man, I'll see you when I see you

Holly is set to be the next big thing
In her high heeled boots, and her two inch earrings
Heart of glass, Blondie, sings in her ear
You're a rock queen honey and we all hear you!

Three minutes left to go, is this the end, then
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do
The official story's a four minute warning

Lucy had a hard time with love
But love recently chose the right time for Lucy
Loving when you know it's the final time
She now holds time in her own mind

Yeah, Jimmy's is the local for Michael
A Guinness in one hand, in the other a fable, able
I once asked are you a lonely man
His reply was non-commital, 'I am what I am'

Two minutes left to go, is this the end, then
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do
The official story's a four minute warning

Cry, Laugh, Feel love, These high moments,
And these are your four minutes.
(Counting down, four minutes, it's a sound)

The final story is one of me,
Who with four minutes left has used up three
I think of you, I think of me
Then I think of nothing, it's the end you see, yeah!

One minute left to go, is this the end, then
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do
The official story's a four minute warning

What would you do, yeah

With a four minute warning, a four minute warning...

I'm fading away, I'm fading away, if anybody wants to know...

Never had, I imagined,
Such a beautiful situation,
Where everything I ever wanted is here,
Is right here
She is the rock I lean on,
So good it scares me,
She's my condition,
My solution,
My way back every time
When the daylight wakes me in some place
I don't wanna be,
She's my gravity,
When I'm out of position
and nothing is working for me,
She's my gravity
She brings me home,
She's my gravity
All at once,
I'm in stitches,
She makes me laugh so hard I'm crying
I've never felt so animated before,
Oh no,
And when I'm losing myself,
Feel her arms around me
My affirmation, my direction,
My way back every time
When the daylight wakes me in some place
I don't wanna be,
She's my gravity,
When I'm out of position
and nothing is working for me,
She's my gravity
She brings me home
My calling,
My way out,
So all things I'm about,
My best side by design,
So always in my mind
My condition, my solution,
My way back every time
When the daylight wakes me in some place
I don't wanna be,
She's my gravity,
When I'm out of position
and nothing is working for me,
She's my gravity
When the daylight wakes me in some place
I don't wanna be,
She's my gravity,
When I'm out of position
and nothing is working for me,
She's my gravity
She brings me home
She brings me home

I listened to your album
And I watched your favourite film,
Hey hey hey,
I missed you today,
I read those early letters
That were filled with early dreams,
Some of them materialised,
Others never seen,
We used to watch the world walking by
The truth is you're not here,
Here I am, I'm screwed up again,
No matter what, which way I turn,
How am I feeling, slowly bleeding here for you,
And spending time with hope
And I don't know why it is,
It's just the way it is
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
I made your favourite dinner,
And I wore the shirts you loved,
Hey hey hey,
Just in case you came
Friends still ask about you,
And I say that you're just fine,
And have you seen the world walking by?
The truth is you're not here,
Here I am, I'm screwed up again,
No matter what, which way I turn,
How am I feeling, slowly bleeding here for you,
And spending time with hope
And I don't know why it is,
It's just the way it is
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
The truth is you're not here,
And I'm screwed up again,
And I don't know the reason why,
I don't know why it is
And did I ever say,
That I just need your love,
And I want you back again,
I want you back again
You said that this isn't yet our time,
So give me time,
To get you back again
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
Its for you that I fall out of bed in the morning,
Still checking the mail as I'm leaving,

She makes me sleep outside on the pavement,
Spends my money,
The lights are on but nobody's home,
Now aint that funny,
She likes to tell me when she's met some other A-Z,
She's my sun, yeah the one, and then some,
She says I talk for hours about nothing,
And then about nothing,
I bought a two-week break in the sun,
She says you aint coming,
And after all I count the seconds till she blinks again,
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love,
Head in the clouds, she eats me whole,
A face in the crowd, my oversoul,
And I'm spinning out, I lose control,
And I don't care,
She says give up boy you're going nowhere,
So don't even go there,
Just turn the television on,
And get the housework done,
I'm only half the man I am when she's not pulling me,
She's someone, yeah my sun, and then some,
Turns her back on me when I'm naked,
Don't like looking,
Says I'm the worst thing she's ever done,
And so is my cooking,
And in the end I watch her think until she speaks again,
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love,
Head in the clouds, she eats me whole,
A face in the crowd, my oversoul,
And I'm spinning out, I lose control,
And I don't care,
And I don't care,
Poison in the coffee that she made for me,
Bullets from her brand new gun, a gift from me,
Head in the clouds, she eats me whole,
A face in the crowd, my oversoul,
And I'm spinning out, I lose control,
And I don't care,
Head in the clouds, she eats me whole,
A face in the crowd, my oversoul
And I'm spinning out, I lose control,
And I don't care,

You just start me up,
Anytime,
I'm a dog, I'm a slag, I'm a disco queen,
You're so on that you make me shine,
And I, I dig your music
Stand out you're a chemical, (come on up)
Sweet Lord, you're a miracle
And your eyes,
Apologise for your wonder,
Apologise for your style,
And you kill with your smile, yeah
You just fuck me up,
Every time
You're a smoke, you're a choke, you're the nicotine,
You're my bloody valentine
And I, I didn't choose it,
Take off you're a radical, (come on up)
Touch down you're a miracle
And your eyes,
Apologise for your wonder,
Apologise for your style,
And you kill with your smile, yeah
And your eyes,
Apologise for your wonder,
Apologise for your style,
You're killing me still with your smile
And I can see me,
Lying on the floor
And you're beating me up,
Trying to bring me back
And I don't know where I'm going
And your eyes,
Apologise for your wonder,
Apologise for your style,
And you kill with your smile
Kill with your smile
And your eyes,
Apologise for your wonder,
Apologise for your style,
Killing me still with your smile,
And you kill with your smile
And you kill with your,
Kill with your,
Kill with your smile
You just start me up
(Stand out you're a chemical)
Any time
(Sweet Lord, you're a miracle)
Stand out you're a chemical
Come on up
Sweet Lord you're a miracle
Come on up
Stand out you're a chemical
Come on up

I was into,
Like a sudden fix from a bowl of sugar,
To you
And all that you were standing for,
Yeah, you knew,
I was so caught up that I could barely move,
To stop you,
From having everything and more
Do you pick me up,
To put me under
Break me in,
So you can choose your ways to put me back again
You can leave a hole like a nail in my head,
You can leave me turned into nothing instead,
You can leave me close to the edge,
You won't ever hear me hit the ground
Are you into,
Have you given up, have we gone to far,
Do you wander,
Or are you staying where we are
I abhor you,
Yet all the while still I adore
Knowing you,
And all that might have been before
Do I say too much, to take you over
Break me in,
So I can choose my ways to put me back again
You can leave a hole like a nail in my head,
You can leave me turned into nothing instead,
You can leave me close to the edge,
You won't ever hear me hit the ground
Cos I'm floored but not broken,
And I'm scarred but I'll heal
Yeah I'm blissfully tortured,
Naked and real
And I'm stung and I'm sorry,
But I'm calm now and clear
Like the sky hanging over,
Like the scratch on my shoulder,
That I no longer feel, feel
I was into
Too close to the edge,
Too close to the edge
You can leave a hole like a nail in my head,
You can leave me turned into nothing instead,
You can leave me close to the edge,
You won't ever hear me,
Ever hear me

Do you love, yeah
Can you tell me how it feels?
Is your heart running,
So fast it becomes still?
Is it true you breathe in butterflies?
Is it true you blow out stars?
When you love, yeah?
Does your mind open?
Do you see who you are,
When the walls that you build,
Start to fall to the ground,
Why do you never come down?
Boys and girls share crystal champagne kisses
Just to taste the rain
Racing cars and chasing satellites
We crash alone again
How do you love love?
How do you love love?
With your love, yeah
Can you catch your own reflection?
See your shell aching to keep the pearl inside
I have heard about your butterflies
I thought I saw your stars
Are you love when
The ground gives in but you're
Finding yourself in a space
Where it's all that you know
Magnified to your size
Why do you never come down?
Boys and girls share crystal champagne kisses
Just to taste the rain
Racing cars and chasing satellites
We crash alone again
How do you love love?
How do you love love?
Coming on like a wave,
I'll be a slave
For all that you say that
I will be
It is you I adore
It is you I adore
Boys and girls share crystal champagne kisses
Just to taste the rain
Racing cars and chasing satellites
We crash alone again
How do you love love?
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
With you I could get happily wasted
Happily wasted
With you I see the answers

Some people change,
Some stay the same,
Someone came into today,
Somewhere someone passed away,
And under a stone,
Just skin and bone,
No one wants to be alone,
When all we have is all we own,
What are all the voices saying?
Where are all you people going?
And if there's a God,
Then why won't he talk to me?
We cry, we learn,
We think about the things we're crying for,
We try, we burn,
And then we try and try again,
When the troubles come,
When we're not so strong
We need to breathe to carry on,
Still looking for pieces of heaven
Cat in a box,
Watching the clocks,
Chase my heart around the block,
Pictures of an astronaut,
And all the above,
Creatures in love,
Making plans then getting off,
Waiting for the rain to stop,
Where do words go when they're spoken?
Why do some minds never open?
And if there's a God,
Then why won't he talk to me?
We cry, we learn,
We think about the things we're crying for,
We try, we burn,
And then we try and try again,
When the troubles come,
When we're not so strong
We need to breathe to carry on,
Still looking for pieces of heaven
Sweet dreams
Go under, over
Slipstream,
Above me
We cry, we learn, we walk
We try, we burn, we talk
We cry, we learn, we walk
We try and we burn
When the troubles come,
When we're not so strong
And we need to breathe to carry on
Still looking for pieces of heaven

Shake my bones and curl my toes,
Nobody does it better,
Spilt my head up to the core
And wrap me round your finger
Take a look outside
There is nowhere left to hide
We've been swimming in circles for too long
Let us jump out of this bowl
Hear some music play down the radio
Lay an egg inside us all
Turn the light on,
Turn the light on
Let us climb out of this hole
Turn the light on,
Turn the light on
Walk with me
I'll wash your feet
And find you a shoemaker
Meet new people
Dressed like you and me
But not as clever
Come on dive inside
No one knows if we'll survive
We've been stood on this corner for too long
Let us jump out of this bowl
Hear some music play down the radio
Lay an egg inside us all
Turn the light on,
Turn the light on
Let us climb out of this hole
Turn the light on,
Turn the light on
Climb up the stairs,
Look up, don't be scared
It's just the sound of the city on wide screen
We could be fishes in the deep blue sea
Crystal clear as monogamy
Heliotherapy
Turn the light on
Turn the light on
Turn the light on
Let us climb out of this hole
Turn the light on
Turn the light on
Let us climb out of this hole
Turn the light on

If you were the woman,
Crawling over my skin
My eyes are wide open,
Is it any wonder
It's just evolution
Waiting on the corner
Waiting for the number 9 to come, come
Always feeling the crush
I'm looking for
Feels like a rush of blood
And you're
Feeding me something,
I'm on the ceiling
Feeling, feeling,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If you are my karma
Bit of sweet and sour
Feel you put me under
Boyfriend in a coma
Bliss in your pollution
Itching for an answer
Waiting for my sweet divine to come, come
Always feeling the crush
I'm looking for
Feels like a rush of blood
And you're
Feeding me something,
I'm on the ceiling
Feeling, feeling,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Feeling the crush
I'm looking for
Feels like a rush of blood
And you're
Feeding me something
I'm on the ceiling
Feeling, feeling,
Yeah
Yeah

I set out to wander
Up lonely man street
Where faith and devotion,
I would hopefully meet
I went there with nothing
Packed as light as I could
And you begged me to stay,
Though you knew,
Baby I'm no good
I'll love you forever
You'll stay in my heart
But all that I wanted
Was doomed from the start
I thought you could save me
Well if anyone could
But I knew that you knew all along
Baby I'm no good
Not once was I faithful,
I cheated and lied
I know that you loved me
But my hands, they were tied
I followed the voices
Like a weak man should
And I guess they were right about me,
Baby I'm no good
In the end when I've fallen
Face down in the rain
And you come back to ask me
What I lost, what I gained
I'd probably answer
I did all that I could
But it wasn't that much I'm afraid,
Baby I'm no good
No it wasn't that much I'm afraid

I'm gonna stand on your parade
I need to jump into your grave
Gonna stalk you I'm afraid
Wanna be your F'ing pain
By the way, you know it's all your fault
Yeah I will get into your head
And everyday out of your bed
I'll buy you roses, paint em red
And then I'll take you shopping
So come and get it,
What the hell you waiting for
What you waiting for
We could run away
We could climb a tree
We could crash a car
Be celebrity
We could rob a bank
We can play guitar
We can shoot a gun
We can go too far
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
All the things that we,
All the things that we could be
If you weren't leaving me
I'll carve your name into my skin
And every place that you have been
Watch you dream while you're asleep
I haven't slept now for a week
So come and get it,
What the hell you waiting for,
What you waiting for
We could run away
We could climb a tree
We could crash a car
Be celebrity
We could rob a bank
We can play guitar
We can shoot a gun
We can go too far
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
All the things that we,
All the things that we could be
If you weren't leaving me
All the things that we,
All the things that we could be,
If you weren't leaving me
Yeah we'll jump from a plane
Then we'll do it again
Ask what life is about
So we'll take a year out
And we'll learn politics,
And some new party tricks
And we'll call our friend John
John
We'll drink in a bar
We'll walk in the park
We'll meet at the end
And again at the start
And we'll look for the light
When the daylight has gone
Then we'll run out of breath
Take the whole world on
Yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah
We could away
We could climb a tree
We could crash a car
Be celebrity
We could rob a bank
We can play guitar
We can shoot a gun
We can go too far
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
Bring it on now,
Get it on now
All the things that we,
All the things that we could be
The things I'd do for you
1 cry out
2 free a bird
3 get a better job
A 4 letter word
5 is a hi-fi
6 on the beach
24/7 baby,
eight days a week
Come on now,
Get it on now
Come on now
All the things that we could be

Won't somebody tell me
Just what's going on
Won't somebody hear me
I can't do right for wrong
Won't somebody help me
I feel I've come undone
There's something going wrong
In my life
My life
She ripping out the heart
Tearing me apart
My life
Can anybody hold me
Make everything alright
Can anybody show me
How to numb the pain inside
Get me through the night
Baby's turned the tide
Of my life
My life
She's ripping out the heart,
Tearing me apart
Pulling out the plug
I'm scarred from where she's cut
My life
(She stole my soul
She cuts me up)
Tearing up the pages
That I'm from
Breaking up the ground
I walk upon
Making my religion
And she can't begin to understand
She cannot see
