Ian McCulloch Album

Really, really want you
Yeah I really, really need you
And I really, really got you under
My skin
In my skin, in my skin, in my skin

Early in the morning
And nearly every evening
I get those early, early warnings
Coming in, coming in, coming in

Chorus:
Can you feel it
Is it living
Can you touch it
Is it loving
Is it loving

Got you in my sun sun
Yeah got you in my rain
And I got you in my blood, blood
Love in veins, love in veins, love in veins

In playgrounds and city parks
we played around 'till it went dark
in every breath another spark was dying
at bus stops we stood in line
like full stops at the end of time
where teardrops don't ever dry for crying
la la la la
la la la la

light up my life
all my days
all my nights
light up my lonely life
light up my lonely life

i knew i'd never leave the street
i love the taste of self defeat
you never win and you can't reat what's broken
if don't play then you don't loose
you either play or have to choose
the words to say or leave the words unspoken
la la la la
la la la la

light up my life
all my days
all my nights
light up my lonely life
light up my lonely life

is sight again
and suffering
and all your dreams
have ended

light up my life
all my days
all my nights
light up my lonely life
light up my lonely life

If you see me sliding
Say we're gonna slide together

If you see me hiding
Tell me I can hide forever

Come
With me now
As now I run
Show me how to be someone
Let me fly into your sun

When my clouds are crying
Say you're gonna change my weather

If you hear me lying
It's never when we lie together

Come
With me now
As now I run
Show me how to be someone
Let me fly into your sun

If you see me sliding
Pray that I won't slide forever

If you see me hiding
Say that we can hide together

Come
With me now
Cos now I run
Show me how to be someone
Let me fly into your sun

Come
With me now
Cos now I run
Show me how to be someone
Let me fly into your sun

your sun (x16)

When your life is wrong
And your days are gone
And the Night is coming on
Baby hold on
Baby hold on
Baby hold on

When your race is run
And the prize is won
Make the words to your song
Baby hold on
Baby hold on
Baby hold on

When it feels like no one listens
And it seems like no one hears you call
When your star no longer glistens
I'll be there to catch you
You won't fall
You won't fall

When your day is done
Like a setting sun
And the night keeps coming on
Baby hold on
Baby hold on
Baby hold on
Baby hold on
Baby hold on

Fill the skies with stars of wonder
And don't you cry
I don't like it like that
Fill my dreams with love forever
And I'll believe
I'll believe in all that

Live and die with me
Live and die with me
What I wouldn't give now love?
What I wouldn't give now
What I wouldn't give now love?
What I wouldn't give now, now now

Fill my life with moons and moonlight
And shine up my nights
Yeah, I like it like that

Live and die with me
Live and die with me
What I wouldn't give now love?
What I wouldn't give now
What I wouldn't give now love?
What I wouldn't give now, now now

Fill the skies with stars of wonder
And don't you cry
I don't like it like that
Don't like it like that

Running out of time
It's half past yours and mine
Forgetting more than we remember
Still trying to find things we left behind in Januarys to Decembers.

Here we are running through the seasons
Here we are as day turns into night
Here we are still looking for a reason in the stars and in our lives

How can we be sure what's really mine and yours?
Wooden hearts have turned to splinters
We just go to ground
And as the world turns 'round, Spring to Summer, Fall to Winter

Here we are running through the seasons
Here we are as day turns into night
Here we are still looking for a reason in the stars and in our lives

Waiting up ahead night skies turning red
Too far out to hear the warning
As the day falls black there's no turning back
Sailing half-mast through the morning

Here we are running through the seasons
Here we are as day turns into night
Here we are still looking for a reason in the stars and in our lives

Too late, I know, the time to let it go
Don't wait, you know you've got to let it out, to let it show
And you know that something's coming
The writing's on the wall
The winds of change are starting to blow
I know

Baby's on another train
She's gonna make this trip alone
Baby's on another train
She's going home, going home, going home

Can't take it slow
Cos yesterday's today's tomorrow
The stakes seem low
Until you have to pay for what you borrow
Cos you know that something's coming
The writing's on the wall
The wind of change is starting to blow
I know

Baby's on another train
She's gonna make this trip alone
Baby's on another train
She's going home, going home, going home

Too late, I know, it's time to let it go
Don't wait, you know you've got to let it out, to let it show
Cos you know that something's coming
The writing's on the wall
The wind of change is starting to blow
I know

Baby's on another train
She's gonna make this trip alone
Baby's on another train
She's going home, going home, going home

I'm still trippin' on high wires
My mind is frozen, but my soul's on fire.
I'm still wishing on the stars above
Just to give you what I'm dreaming of.

To be found, to be found, to be found
Going down, going down, going down
To be found, to be found, to be found
It's some kinda love; it's working me over
It's some kinda love; it's working me out
It's some kinda love; it comes out of nowhere
It's some kinda love; you know what I'm talking about

Can't feel the way I should
Never ever thought I'd feel that good
No direction and no way in
Playing games I knew I'd never win
Going down, going down, going down
To be found, to be found, to be found
It's some kinda love; it's working me over
It's some kinda love; it's working me out
It's some kinda love; it comes out of nowhere
It's some kinda love; you know what I'm talking about

It's over; she's certain
The lies that they told her just made her feel older
She's running; her time is coming
It's over; she's certain
A bargain's been struck now
She knows that her luck is changing

She sings
All my life
Must I wait all my life?
Why does it take all my life?
When is it coming?
When is it coming?
When is it coming?

She's lying in darkness and silence
The radio's playing
She lies there praying to no one
Saying to no one

She sings
All my life
Must I wait all my life?
Why does it take all my life?
When is it coming?
When is it coming?
When is it coming?

She sings
Do do do do doot do doot do do
It's over; she's certain
The lies that they told her just made her feel colder
She's running; her time is coming

She sings
All my life
Must I wait all my life?
Why does it take all my life?
When is it coming?
When is it coming?
When is it coming?

Coming up
Coming into view
Come and see what I've become
I'm saving up my souvenirs for you
You can take them when I'm gone

Where I'm heading I can't tell
Down to Heaven
Or up to Hell
And if who we are is who we love
Then who put all this hate inside me?
And if who we are is written in the stars
When's someone gonna come and find me?

I'm growing up
Growing into me
Knowing now where I come from
I'm going back, going back to see
How going right could go so wrong.

Where I'm heading I can't tell
Down to Heaven
Or up to Hell
And if who we are is who we love
Then who put all this hate inside me?
And if who we are is written in the stars
When's someone gonna come and find me?

Where the jewels will be revealed
Where the jewels the river gives in the pool where we live
In the glow of shadows magic waters flow

Burning up
Burning up inside
I don't want to feel the cold
I'm turning 'round
Turning 'round to find
All that glitter turned to gold
Where I'm heading I can't tell
Not to Heaven
And not to Hell
And if who we are is who we love
Then who put all this hate inside me?
And if who we are is written in the stars
When's someone gonna come and find me?

Stake your claim and take your touch
Make this pain not hurt so much
Come and save me
Come and save me
Come and fix me up like new
Come and save me
Come and save me
Do those tricks you used to do

I'll take my aim and place my bet
I know this game's not over yet
Know what I want now
Know what I want now
Know what I want now
Know what I want now

Come and save me
Come and save me
Come and fix me up like new
Come and save me
Come and save me
Do the tricks you used to do

Gotta be there when you get the call
Got to be the dust that falls from stars
Got to walk it like you know it all
Take the universe and make it our baby
And just maybe
And just maybe
You can fix me up like new
Come and save me
Come and save me
Do the tricks you used to do

Don't be late
Don't waste a beat
I'll lick your plate, it tastes so sweet
I will I will I will I will
