Kathryn Williams Album

You said
Clichés come from the truth
Of beauty that every one feels they can own
Is then truth
Being rubbed out or watered down

We dug a hole
To keep everything out of view
We dug a hole
Hoped it was big enough.

The water was like creased old leather
Lit by a bare bulb
And we talked about the swirly island waters

We dug a hole
To keep everything out of view
They dug a hole
Hoped it was big enough.

Late into the night
Through dried up popcorn and sticky carpets
Words danced upwards
To tired out lyrics

They dug a hole
To keep everything out of view
They dug a hole
Warmer than wood, old and safe (?)
Warmer than wood, old and safe (?)

You only stop talking
When you're sleeping
There's got to be something wrong
With your past

I can't talk if I'm thinking
I'm not gonna move so fast

Is your life so exciting
You have to tell everyone you meet
Try to make it so enticing
You wear your soul out to your feet
Always leave before them
You want them to think
You've got so much to do
Maybe they're not thinking of you

If you would shut up
Someone could save you
Manipulate everything
And that's how I love you

Is your life so exciting
You have to tell everyone you meet
Try to make it so enticing
You wear your soul out to your feet
Always leave before them
You want them to think
You've got so much to do
Maybe they're not thinking of you

Is your life so exciting
You have to tell everyone you meet
Try to make it so enticing
You wear your soul out to your feet
Always leave before them
You want them to think
You've got so much to do
Maybe they're not thinking of you

If you would shut up
Someone could save you
Manipulate everything

All I ask for is the sign for my fleeting
Lift me to your light
Felt the warmth back in my eyes
I used to follow you round in a casual way
Miss good shows on the radio just to see your face

And you
Just stood
You kept me there
Bare to what you were
And you
Just would
Be happy to be loved by me
But not for good
Not for good.

I never thought that I'd get to talk to you
You are always about never in doubt of what you've got to do

I knew I'd be nervous now
What was I then
Years had passed my frustration was masked
I knew I would not be again

And you
Just stood
You kept me there
Bare to what you were
And you
Just would
Be happy to be loved by me
But not for good

Window light shines through the leaves of my plant
And a jasmine hoop swings on the highest branch
We took cheap shots at each other on the phone
But it was my last chance before you were gone

You stand there ignoring all my friends
'Cause you said I'm all you can stand

I'm going to tell you half the story so you'll come back
I'm going to tell you half the answers so if you get one
You won't expect it
Don't expect it dear
I'm nobody's fool
I'm nobody's fool
I'm nobody's fool

You stand there ignoring all my friends
'Cause you said I'm all you can stand

I'm going to tell you half the story so you'll come back
I'm going to tell you half the answers so if you get one
You won't expect it
Don't expect it dear

Ii fell down fast fell down free
Lost my money lost my greed
I just want the prize you gave to them

Became a saint from just a friend
Mending boats on white hot sands
We all want to still think you are there

'Cause you were the one that spoke out
We were the ones you tried to stay awake
We were the ones sorting our lives out
You were the one who made the break

You fell down fast fell down free
Found a freedom lost the needs
I just want to prize you away

We carry on we carry memories
With every day your turning into dreams
I just want one more argument

'Cause you were the one that spoke out
We were the ones you tried to stay awake
We were the ones sorting our lives out
You were the one who made the break

You fell down fast we fell down fast
Fell down fast
In just a flash you fell down fast
Fell down fast

You fell down fast you fell down fast
Fell down fast
In just a flash you fell down fast

I watch you wait
At the bus stop with one eye
On your watch
You turn and say
To strangers there's not enough time
For one man in one life
Just a flicker and then a breeze
Breeze, breeze

But you sit there for hours
Watching programmes you don't
Plan to watch they just come on
And if you had one chance to change
Would you review your plans?

'Cause there's not enough time
For one man in one life
Just a flicker and then a breeze
Breeze, breeze

I keep my time
Saved in a box
From going fast in cars
I've piled it up high
From saying hello to friends
With a quick goodbye

'Cause there's not enough time
In one life for one man
Just a flicker and then a breeze
'Cause there's not enough time
For one man in one life
Just a flicker
And a breeze

[No lyrics]

You said your words I walked to the door
Then you walked behind me
Went to the station the train was late
You said I feel dead
In this place
You listen to yourself
All of the time
Cut off every line I say
How did you turn it all around
I won't be playing your game today

You tell the truth
As if it were lies
You tell the truth
As if it were lies

I did what I could to make myself seen
But you said you liked secrets
Well here is a secret just for you
I'm more now I'm not with you
Everything is an act, every line is a test
You're clothes are just a costume
The beauty you keep is not from within
You'll be saying bye bye bye bye bye bye bye to it soon

You tell the truth
As if it were lies
You tell the truth
As if it were lies

You said your words I walked to the door
Then you walked behind me
Went to the station the train was late
You said I feel dead
In this place

The bird flew into the window
Saw himself and got confused
Saw himself and fell in love
Flew straight into the glass

Nothing can move me at this minute
Changing my life to fit myself in it
A passion in life is all I want in it
Please let me wake up one day
And find myself found
Find myself found

There's a mood on your mouth
Sparkles like a jewel
It's the morning
So you're going to be cruel
With your quiet dismay
Of one more day
That you just have to live through

And put your clothes on
Don't walk around bare
I said put your clothes on
There's nobody there
Lie back asleep
Go back to your dreams

You left me in your house
Full of mysteries full of silence
I looked at all your things 'til I believed they were mine
Sit and relax, sit and relax, sit and relax

And there's no contemplation of our situation
Only at night do we think of our lives
Being a blink of a greater world

But each star we see in the sky is a sun like our own beginning to die
And our future in their past or the other way round
Come on see it the other way round
Around

He can hear a pin drop from forty yards
With the door shut
So why can't he hear my heart
Escape through the back door
No, you're like a cup of water
Swimming on a bigger sea
You can't spill out of yourself
Spill on the floor spill onto me

But each star we see in the sky is a sun like our own beginning to die
And our future in their past or the other way round
Come on see it the other way round
Around

Each star we see in the sky is a sun like our own beginning to die
And our future in their past or the other way round
Come on see it the other way round

Each star we see
In the sky
Is a sun
Like our own
Beginning to die
Each star, each star, each star
Each star we see, each star we see

When we say what we've done
And shown how we've grown
We'll never hold onto
What we think we own
All we can say is
We came down from the trees
We came down from the trees

And did we learn sarcasm
Or fighting with glasses
Dividing the money and making the classes
Before we came down
From the trees
We came down from the trees

Ed and Neil said
There was so much confusion
On what is called progress
And what's evolution
Maybe we were happier before
We came down from the trees
We came down from the trees

And I'm swinging from my branch
Waiting for my arms to get longer
So I can reach the next tree
Move into it's shelter
But I am so tired
I'm so so tired
I just, and I just come down
Come down
Come down from the trees
I might just come down from the trees
