Give me the city
Give me the sea
Give to me everything I need
The future is shining like a giant metal beast
It shines so bright tonight with its legs open wide and love is blind
Falls in love with itself again like it never should the way it always can and
she is mine
But the world is much bigger now
Oh tell me should I hold her hand and give her love or take her heart and throw
it far away?
Oh now is the time to jump into it all
I'll just hold my nose and try not to fall
To seek and to find instead of walking around with eyes glued to the sky
I turn them down to the ground
Oh and I used to think that maybe one day I'd find the love of my life
Oh but it's so far away
Oh I don't know why
Oh but I
I want it all tonight and love is blind
Falls in love with itself again like it never should the way it always can
Oh and she is mine but the world is so much bigger now
Oh tell me should I hold her hand and give her love or take her heart and throw
it far away?
We held hands and we looked out of the bedroom window
We could see all the buildings collapsing around us
So we kissed and we laid on the bed and we waited for the ceiling to fall in
But it never did
In the morning it was all still there
The spilled milk and the dog-turds in that grey ashtray morning light
I could hear thousands of people and they were all singing this song: La lala
lala...
Hey butcher!
Oh, oh, oh hey butcher!
What's your name?
Oh hey butcher, what's your game?
Ah, you take all their love and you suck out their eyes and then you rip out
their hearts
And you eat their insides
Yeah, then you just walk away with a smile on your face
Hey butcher, hey butcher
I've seen your face before
La ladadow da lalala...

. . .



On the night that I was leaving, the moon rose in the sky
As I came to fetch my suitcase and then you began to cry
I've never seen you look so ugly as the way you did that night
That night was eighteen months ago
Now I'm two hours from the station
Yeah I'm coming home again
I'm gonna show this town who's master soon as I get off this train
You're gonna love me more than ever and the sun will shine again and I will kiss
your face
And I will make you smile again and then the whole damn town will come on out to
welcome me
Oh they will open all the doors and give it all to me
Oh no but still your voice is ringing in my ears
Don't you want me anymore? Don't you want me anymore?
And I can't I can't believe it's happening
I know that oh there must be some mistake
You've found yourself another lover and you're glad we made the break
Oh you don't even you don't even want to see me
You just wanna wave and say "Goodbye. Go away now, and leave us alone
No this house is not your own."
Yeah
And now the whole damn town has come around to laugh at me
Oh yeah Oh they can stare for evermore; you do not care for me
Oh no Oh they can stare now for a hundred thousand years
Don't you want me anymore?
Don't you want me anymore?
Don't you want me anymore?

[At this point, Candida starts talking...]
Pitsmoor Badger Wincobank Crookes Walkley Broomhill Oh!
[Candida, quoting from some book]
"I was only about eleven when this happened. We were living in a big block of
flats with a central courtyard. All the bedroom windows opened onto this court,
and sometimes in the middle of the night, in that building it sounded like a
mass orgy. I may have only been eleven, but no-one had to tell me what all that
moaning and yelling was about. I'd lie there mesmerised, listening to the first
couple. Invariably, they'd wake up other couples, and like some kind of chain
reaction, within minutes the whole building was fucking. I mean, have you ever
heard other people fucking, and really enjoying it? It's a marvellous sound. Not
like in the movies, but when it's real. It's such a happy, exciting sound."

The city is a woman
Bigger than any other
Oh, sophisticated lady
Yeah, I wanna be your lover (not your brother, not your mother, yeah)
The sun rose from behind the gasometers at six-thirty a.m.
Crept through the gap in your curtains
And caressed your bare feet poking from beneath the floral sheets.
I watched it flaking bits of varnish from your nails
Trying to work it's way up under the sheets.
Jesus! Even the sun's on heat today; the whole city getting stiff in the
building heat.
I just want to make contact with you
Oh that's all I wanna do
I just want to make contact with you
Oh that's all I wanna do Ow
Now I'm trying hard to meet her but the fares went up at seven
She is somewhere in the city somewhere watching television
Watching people being stupid, doing things she can't believe in
Love won't last 'til next installment
Ten o' clock on Tuesday evening
The world is going on outside, the night is gaping open wide
The wardrobe and the chest of drawers are telling her to go outdoors
He should have been here by this time, he said that he'd be here by nine
That guy is such a prick sometimes, I don't know why you bother, really.
Oh babe oh I'm sorry
But I had to make love to every crack in the pavement and the shop doorways
And the puddles of rain that reflected your face in my eyes.
The day didn't go too well.
Too many chocolates and cigarettes.
I kept thinking of you and almost walking into lamp-posts.
Why's it so hot? (Peace garden!)
The air coming up to the boil; rubbing up against walls and lamp-posts trying to
get rid of it.
Old women clack their tongues in the shade of crumbling concrete bus shelters.

Dogs doing it in central reservations and causing multiple pile-ups in the
centre of town.
I didn't want to come here in the first place
But I've been sentenced to three years in the Housing Benefit waiting room.
I must have lost your number in the all-night garage
And now I'm wandering up and down your street, calling you name, in the rain
Whilst my shoes turn to sodden cardboard.
Where are you?
[Candida:] (I'm here!)
[Jarvis:] Where are you? (I'm here!) Where are you? (I'm here!)
Where are you? (I'm here!)
Where are you? (I'm here!) Where are you? (I'm here!) Where are you?
That's all I wanna do.
I'm still trying hard to meet you, but it doesn't look like happening
'cos the city's out to get me if I won't sleep with her this evening
Though her buildings are impressive and her cul-de-sacs amazing
She's had too many lovers and I know you're out there waiting
And now she's getting into bed he's had his chance now it's too late
The carpet's screaming for her soul, the darkness wants to eat her whole
Tonight must be the night it ends
Tomorrow she will call her friends and go out on her own somewhere
Who needs this shit anyway?
And listen I wandered the streets the whole night crying, trying to pick up your
scent
Writing messages on walls and the puddles of rain reflected your face in my
eyes.
We finally made it on a hill-top at four a.m.
The whole city is your jewellery-box; a million twinkling yellow street lights.

Reach out and take what you want; you can have it all.
Gee it's so hot tonight!
I didn't think we were gonna make it.
It was so bad during the day, but now I'm snug and warm under an eiderdown sky.

All the things we saw:
everyone on Park Hill came in unison at four-thirteen a.m. and the whole block
fell down.
The tobacconist caught fire, and everyone in the street died of lung cancer.
The grunts from the T-reg Chevette; you bet, you bet, yeah you bet. Mmmmm. Yeah.

All I wanna do is make contact with you. Tomorrow, are we gonna?
That's all I wanna do...
I was trying hard to meet her but the fares went up at seven
She was somewhere in the city somewhere watching television
Watching people being stupid doing things she can't believe in
Love won't last 'til next installment ten o'clock on Tuesday evening
The world was going on outside
The night was waiting open wide
The wardrobe and the chest of drawers were telling her to go outdoors
He should have been there by that time, he said that he'd be there by nine
That guy is such a prick sometimes
Yeah Jesus!
Oh baby babe I wanna I wanted to tell you that there's nothing
There's nothing to worry about because we can we can we can we can get it
together oh yeah

. . .



As the sun shines down on the land so her heart is crying for love
And there is no-one there, no-one to hear her voice and she will sleep alone
again tonight
Now the moon is high in the sky
In her room she calls out his name
But he is somewhere else somewhere she cannot see
Oh and the night is dark between them now
"My god, my God, why did he go away?"
Now the sun shines on a new town
With a smile he gets off the train
He lights a cigarette leans back to see the sky
Oh and he thinks how much better off he is without her hanging round
Let's do it
And the day is passing by him and he has nowhere to stay
At a lonely bar-room table his mind goes back to yesterday to the girl who's
dead and buried
But her face lives in his eyes
He must forget that face forever
Make the future start tonight
Forget her
But the meal he eats is dead flesh
There is cancer in his cigarettes and the drinks won't do a thing for him
But revive some stupid memories
Then a hairstyle that reminds him makes him run into the night
Where the moon hangs high above him now
The same moon that she's praying on tonight
But the wind catches her words and the moon swallows them whole
Now the moon is high in the sky
In her room she calls out his name
The night is cold and dark and she is all alone
The bed is empty now
Her body screams for love
She wants to be with him
Oh but he's so far away
Oh and the night is dark between them now

. . .



Nadadum dadadada dada da...
Take me down to the river where I would not go before
Through the trees and the rushes to a place we both know
And I'm feeling much younger as I kneel on the ground
Dip my toe in the water of the river where I watched you drown
Nadadum nananana nana na...
Oh when the river ran dry that next year
I could not find your body
Now I'm standing here ready at last to dive down and reach you again
And I long to be with you
Now these cold nights have come oh I go down to the river but the river will
stop for no-one
Though I ask it it keeps flowing on
When I ask it, it tells me you're gone

. . .



[single intro: "Keep very still, for the strangest things are about to happen."]

Oh I was seventeen when I heard the countdown start, it started slowly
And I thought it was my heart but then I realised
That this time it was for real there was no place to hide
I had to go out and feel, but there was time to kill
And so I, I walked my way around town I tried to love the world
Oh but the world just got me down and so I looked for you
In every street of every town I wanted to see your face
I wanna I wanna see you now
I wanna see you now
Oh and so it went
Oh so it went for several years I couldn't stand it
No oh it must be getting near now that you just don't know
Oh no you, you just don't understand how many people have seen you
In the arms of, of of some other man
I've got to meet you and find you and take you by the hand oh my God my God
You've got to understand that I was seventeen
I didn't I didn't know a thing at all
I've got no reason I've got no reason at all
Oh no The time of my life oh I think you came too soon
Yeah you came too soon then
Oh and it could it could be tonight if I ever leave this room
(I never leave this room no)
Oh I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down
Get down, oh
Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town
So I'm gonna leave this town
Goodbye O.K.
Yeah you can leave me
Oh you, you can go some other place
You can't forget it
Yeah you know, you know that's O.K.
'cos, 'cos I own this town
Yeah, yeah I brought it to its knees
Can you hear it crying? Can you?
Can you hear it begging to me "Please?"
I know it's coming so soon now oh, oh it's on it's way
Oh no oh no oh I can hear them say, they say I can't survive
They say I, I'll never leave the ground
They say it's all a lie and now and now it's coming down
Oh baby now
Time of my life oh I think you came too soon
Yeah you came too soon now
Oh and it could oh it could be tonight if I ever leave this room
(I never leave this room now)

Me and stars and moon are falling down.
[single outro: "You've just heard one of the most remarkable applications in

. . .



You know sometimes ... when we're lying together ... and I know you're asleep
...
I can hear the soft sound of your breathing ... so I get up ... and I go to the
window ...
Outside ... I can see all the houses ...
Curtains shut tight against the night ... asleep beneath the roof-tiles ...
And as I stand here ... I wonder ... I wonder how many more times ... I'm gonna
come here ...
I wonder how many more times ... I'm gonna lie here ...
And most of all ... most of all I wonder ...
I wonder what it means ... I just wanna know what it means ...
So I woke her ... and we went walking through the sleeping town ... down
deserted streets ...
Frozen gardens grey in the moonlight ... fences ... down to the canal ...
Creeping slowly past the cooling towers ...
Deserted factories ... looking for an adventure ...
I wandered the streets calling your name ...
Jumping walls ... hoping to see a light in the window ...
Let me in ... let me come in ... let me in tonight ...
Oh I see you shivering in the garden ... silver goose-flesh in the moonlight ...

She's balancing ... there are so many others ... with unbroken eyes ...
No cellulite afternoons ...
And she is balancing ... balancing on the edge of ugliness tonight ...
She is balancing ... good God!
My legendary girlfriend, she is crying tonight
Oh no she doesn't feel right
She's got no-one to hold
Her love is a sham
He is dancing somewhere
Oh no he doesn't care oh well, he'll never know
Jump ... touch my hair ...
I wanna ... I don't care ... 'cos tonight ...
We could, maybe we ... maybe we can touch the sky ...
Do you think that we can ...
Do you think that we can ... touch the sky ... please ...
I know ... I know it's not forever ... but tonight I don't care ...
Your skin so pale in the moonlight ... and the way your lips swell up when
you're asleep ...
Nothing else matters ... do you know how much I want you? ...
Can you feel how much I want you? ... Oh
Pitsmoor Woman
Oh let oh let me in tonight
My legendary girlfriend, she is crying tonight
Oh no she doesn't feel right
She's got no-one to hold
Her love is a sham
He is dancing somewhere
Oh no he doesn't care oh well, he'll never know
And all the stars came out tonight and the moon came on it's face
It shone right though the clothes she wore
It shone right through the dress she wore
Good God ... Oh, y'know ... listen ... listen ... please ... oh ...
I just wanna ... I just wanna... ...
He falls to sleep again ... no cheese tonight ... she knows
My legendary girlfriend, she is crying tonight
Oh no she doesn't feel right
She's got no-one to hold
Her love is a sham
He is dancing somewhere
Oh no he doesn't care oh well, he'll never know
And all the stars came out tonight and the moon came on it's face
It shone right through the dress she wore
It shone right through the clothes she wore
And the stars and the moon
And the stars all came down today
Oh please love me tonight

. . .



Oh uh-uh-uh Oh
Hey Oh now the lonely nights begin and there is nowhere left to go
But watch my spirit melt away, down at the D-I-S-C-O
I must have died a thousand times
The next day, I was still alive
And I still believe in you
Yes I do
Let's do it now
No I was not crushed, I did not cry
You know that everything's O.K.
It's just sometimes I wake at night
All alone and see your face
Oh, thousands feel the same but the night-time falls away
Oh no but still sometimes I feel oh sometimes I feel like Jesus Christ now
Hey I feel this night will never end and I will never see the day
Oh I was nothing when you came
I'm no-one now you've gone away
Oh all I do is just O.K.
All of my nights, and all of my days
Oh-oh if you came home right now
I'd run away
Oh run away now
O.K. now
Alright You can go out and make love to whoever, or whatever you like babe
So I go out and fill my eyes with other women
Oh they look good to me and I think that I might kiss them
Oh now it's two a.m. and I'm still stood here waiting
So I go home and wonder why I bother going
Yeah every week turns out the same the sun, the wind, the snow, the rain
Oh no but still sometimes I feel
Oh sometimes I feel like Jesus Christ now
Hey I feel this night will never end and I will never see the day
Oh I was nothing when you came
I'm no-one now you've gone away
Oh all I do is just O.K.
All of my nights, and all of my days
Oh-oh if you came home right now I'd run away
I can't believe it
I can't remember your face anymore or the sound of your voice
Or any touch of your skin is a legend
By the way, did I tell you that I loved you?
Oh if I didn't I'm so sorry
You know I I really, I really meant to tell you it's O.K. there's no need to
hurry
But the bed is full of memories, full of memories of you
Oh I've tried to get them out but but there's nothing I can do
Oh if I knew the moon I'd ask him
Shine his light in through your window and send your body home to me today
Hey I feel this night will never end and I will never see the day
Oh I was nothing when you came
I'm no-one now you've gone away
Oh all I do is O.K.
All of my nights, and all of my days
Oh-oh if you came home right now
I'd run away

. . .



His body loved her, his mind was set on other things
Keep your face out of sight and your thoughts to yourself
And this went on for several nights festering in silence, growing in the dark
And this they saw as love.
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Oh this they saw as love
Love
So sad to see to see it slowly die
She met his wishes, he found that he had changed his mind
Now the fit is too tight and the bedroom too warm
The days are filled with things to do
Night-time lies so hollow and memories betray
Oh memories of love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Love
So sad to see to see it slowly die
Two years have passed, two years of emptiness inside
And the grey skies above just show how far I went wrong
I wonder if she's living there the way that I recall
The way I'll always think of you
And when I think of you I think of love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
You know I think of love
Love
So sad to see to see it slowly die
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I need her
I know I don't need her
I need her
Oh Oh-oh...
