In the morning
In the morning
In the morning light
I'm gonna see it
Gonna see it
Gonna see it right
Yeah in the morning
Yeah in the morning
I'm gonna see it right
In the middle
In the middle
In the middle of night
Toss and turn
Toss and turn
Keep switching on the light
Yeah in the morning
Yeah in the morning
I'm gonna see it
Again and again and
Again and again and again
I wake up feeling lonely
In the middle of a dream
I wonder if I'm ever
Gonna to make it to the end
The end the end the end the end
And now and then I see you
In the corner of a bar
Reflected in a mirror with a stranger in a car
I promise that I'll leave you
If you tell me where you are
You are you are you are the air
And yeah in the morning
Yeah in the morning
I'm gonna see it right

Some kind of light
Dancing in the distance
Breaking through the night
Path of least resistance
Fallen to earth
Gone in the morning
Only to return
Without warning
I should have wished
When I had the chance
Gone like the water
In my hand
I would do anything
Anything for you now
I would go anywhere
Anywhere at all
Don't wanna lose you
Lose you to anyone
I could be anyone
Anyone at all
Look in the sky
Down by Orion
Below the plough
Cancer sits with the lion
Preying upon
Your seven sisters
Sprawled on the lawn
Playing with Ursa Minor
I wish I could feel like a child again
Uncomplicated
Real

CHORUS

Everywhere you turn
There's derision
Glued to the mobile and the television
Sun has gone down
Something breaks the horizon
Moving so fast
Hard to focus my eyes on
I wish you were here
With me tonight
Stuck on the island
Midnight

CHORUS

Michael lived on the other side
Dreamed he was an only child
Wake up screaming in the middle of night
Danced with the devil on the dark side

We got married in a Vegas bar
With confetti on the dance floor
No tin cans trailing from behind a car
Throwing quarters out the back door

Sing me to sleep tonight
Sing me to sleep tonight
No memory tonight
Sing me to sleep tonight

Under cover
One of the other

Sing me to sleep tonight
(I wanna hold you but it's just too late now)
Sing me to sleep tonight
(I wanna hear you say it's all gonna be alright)
No memory tonight
(I wanna hold you but it's just too late now)
Sing me to sleep tonight
(I wanna hear you say it's all gonna be alright)

I was on my wall
Minding my own business
When a man walked up to me
And he say "Hey don't fall",
"And anyways
What's a nice guy like you doing sitting on a wall?"
And I say
"I don't like flies in my ointment
And that's what you are
You'll make me late for my appointment
Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar"

Well I was down on the ground
Minding my own business when a snail slid up to me
And he said "Hey, slow down,"
"And anyways, you ain't got no business rushing around"
And I said
"Stop acting like a fly in my ointment
Cause that's what you are
You'll make me late for my appointment
Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar"

I was high in the sky
Minding my ouwn business when a jumbo jet flew by
And all the people inside
Staring out the window giving me the evil eye
And I said
"I feel like a fly in the ointment
And I don't know why
Please help me I'm late for my appointment
Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar
He's waiting in the bar
He's waiting in the bar"

We used to look at each other
But now we look at the past
We used to go out for dinner
And feed the ducks in the park
You say that I could be thinner
I say retract that remark

And I'm loving you each day
As it comes

I'll never let you be lonely
As long as you're by my side
You say you'd leave me - if only
Another tear in the eye
Another funeral parlour
I'll have to get a new tie

And I'm loving you each day
As it comes
Time has come
Time has come and gone
And all I've done comes undone
Done
Dada done

As I lie here beside you
With Jack Frost in the air
You look like an angel
With that net in your hair
I kiss you softly...

But you're no longer there
Now I'm taking every day
As it comes
Da da da da dum
Da da dum

It never rains but it pours
Do keep the wolf from the door
I see him sitting in silence
Outside my house
Quiet as a mouse

I tried to buy you roses but all the stars were closed
And if I had a diamond ring I'd wear it through my nose
But I can't dance and I can't sing
A loser I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows

You said to have and to hold
Do let me in from the cold
I see you sitting in silence
Inside your house
Quiet as a mouse

I tried to buy you roses but all the stars were closed
And if I had a diamond ring I'd wear it through my nose
But I can't dance and I can't sing
A loser I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows

And this could be life as we know it
How can I see if you never show it

I tried to buy you roses
But all the stars were closed
I tried to buy you roses but all the stars were closed
And if I had a diamond ring I'd wear it through my nose
But I can't dance and I can't sing
A loser I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows
Who knows
Who knows

When the sunlight ebbs away
The shadows come out to play
There's signs on the railings
And all that breathes is still
In the middle of a boxing ring
Tethered by a string
With meat hooks bandaged hanging
Tie me down
Throw in the towel
The next time love
You will be
Holding on beneath the ring
In the shadows
Be you an enemy
Come here and dance with me
Why are you hiding?
Don't ever say your name
The job is always easier when they cry (oh they cry)
Tie me down
Throw in the towel
The next time love
You see me
Holding on beneath the ring
In the shadows
Weaving shadows
Weaving shadows in the wings
Dancing, waiting, warring
When the sunlight ebbs away
The shadows come out to play
There's signs on the railings
and all that breathes is still
In the middle of a boxing ring
Tethered by a string
On hands and knees crying
Tie me down
Throw in the towel
The next time love
You see me
Holding on beneath the ring
In the shadows

I have nothing to do
To do to do to do to do
And I want to do it with you
With you and no-one else will be beside me
Ahhh it will be sweet
We dream of gold we dream of green
And ahh
Our love is for losers
Don't be fooled 'cause you could do without me

I think I need a holiday
Another time another place
To disappear without a trace
When I return throw me away

I have nothing to say
To say to say to say to say
But I try to say it with love
So you can say it back but wires got crossed
Split broken in two
Your eyes are black
My eyes are blue
And ahh
O this is the part where we say things
That we can never take back

I think I need a holiday
Another time another place
To disappear without a trace
When I return throw me away
What have we done
What have we done
What have we done
What have we done
Everyone needs a holiday
Another time another place
To disappear without a trace
When I return throw me away
I think I need a holiday
Another time another place
To disappear without a trace
When I return throw me away
Throw me away
Throw me away

Sitting in my rocking chair
Grandchildren everywhere
I remember Reagan
I remember Nixon
I remember Fred Astaire
Windows of the world collide
Save me from the world inside
Bending in the winds of time
Windows of the world
Open up my eyes
Clinging to a memory
Tossed upon the cruelest sea
All the tea in China
Or the ocean liner
Couldn't bring them back to me
Windows of the world divide
Staring at the rising tide
Where did all the time go by
Windows of the world
Teach me how to fly
Sitting in my rocking chair
Hand brushing through my hair
You could be my father
You could be my brother
You could be the love affair
Windows of the world collide
Save me from the world outside
Dissolve me in the air tonight
Windows of the world
Set my eyes alight

Well my eyes are closed
But my heart's on fire
Because the clock is approaching
The midnight hour
I leave my window open
All the lights are out
And from the darkes night
Comes the lightest shout
Moonshine
Moonshine moon
The cow jumped over the moonshine moon
Moonshine
Moonshine moon
I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon
Well as we walk through the streets
There's no-one nowhere
And our nightgown's trailing
And our feet are bare
I don't know where we're woing
And I don't care
Just as long as you're here
And the moon's up there
Moonshine
Moonshine moon
The cow jumped over the moonshine moon
Moonshine
Moonshine moon
I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon
Now all the little boys and girls around the town
Dreaming through the darkness till the moon goes down
But me and my baby gonna be up all night
Dancing under the moonlight
Moonshine
Moonshine moon
I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon
Moonshine
Moonshine moon
The cow jumped over the moonshine moon
