Ocean Colour Scene Album

This England made me between the war and rockets flying.
And from the crib it saves me and teach me wrong from right.
The world was talking never got its chance to say.
Too much talking nobody hears a word you say.

You won't see and baby now I won't hear,
My communications only last throughout the year
and half of what we're saying is half-way inner truth.
Cos my communications for a million hearts and fools.

I am a witness to a land of a million fools.
All placing bets on life and hate the ones who lose.
And all lonely never get the chance to say.
That the one and only would be the chance to even play.

You won't see and baby now I won't hear,
My communications only last throughout the year
and half of what we're saying is half-way inner truth.
Cos my communications for a million hearts and fools.

Hello Monday, the weekends just a blur.
I been burning bridges and now I'm begging at your door,
So keep on working cos its a chance for me to play.
Too much talking when you believe the words I say.

You won't see and baby now I won't hear,
My communications only last throughout the year
and half of what we're saying is half-way inner truth.
Blind communications for a million hearts and fools.

I'm in my field
I'm in my stream
And I'm love
I'm in my tree

I take a walk
Nine hundred miles
I cross the stile
I'm in my field

And I'm in love
And it's for free
I'm in my field
I'm in my field

I'm in my field
I'm in my stream
And I will yield
I'm in my field

And I'm in love
Across the stile
Come in my field
Just you and me

We'll take a walk
Nine hundred miles
And I'm in love
We'll count the stars

I'm in my field
I'm in my stream
Well I'm in love
Just you and me

I'm in my field
I'm in my stream
Well I'm in love
I'm in my tree

I take a walk
Nine hundred miles
I cross the stile
I'm in my field

I'm gonna sail on my boat and keep it afloat forever
Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together
I got a waiting ticket won't you sail it
Nobody who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying

I'm gonna throw out a rope and keep it afloat it's granted
And call her Cressy Freedom, Independence or Tansy
I'm gonna wake and take us all to where oh
Nobody's gonna talk me down by stormy weather

Got to sail my boat
Got to keep afloat
I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing

I'll sail across don't make it a choice I'll plan it
Nobody ever thought you would and they take you for granted
I'll tie the ropes that keep me afloat and sailing
Nobody ever taught me teached what I'm playing

I'm gonna lift up my voice and sing you a song romantic
And call it Cressy Freedom, Independence or Tansy

Got to sail my boat
Got to keep afloat
I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing

Hold on in love take it to where you never
Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together
I've got a freedom ticket lets go sailing
Nobody who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying

Got to sail my boat
Got to keep afloat
I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing

Up through all the streets you go
But little girl don't find her name
And we're all gone down roads to homes
Where everybody finds their game

Just behind the street she goes
Where she'll be found behind her wheel
'Cos it's the only place she knows
That makes her know just how she feels

'Cos you're the biggest thing
That I see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down, you haunt me
And beg me to believe

All too fast to where she goes
But who'll be first to find her name
And holding on in Hollywood
But holding on don't make the grade

Just about when it's all right
There's you and I, we'll find our way
But it's holidays not Hollywood
And holidays don't suit my game.

'Cos you're the biggest thing
That I see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down and haunt me
And beg me to believe

Hollow days and hollow nights
But everyone they find their way
It hightlights you when things ain't right
And makes you want to find your place

'Cos you're the biggest thing
That I see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down, you haunt me
And beg me to believe

By the way you went
You take it all
And make another sender

By the way it often takes you by surprise
You know the mender
And oh you play it strange

And anyway
We all got a little bit of something
We all got more than we bargained for
Got a need for something
But you and I we made it more

Ain't gonna make another play today
I know, I'm waiting on a sender
Ain't gonna take my weight until you wait
I know, I need another mender
But it's to you I'm making a surrender

And you make another
Tell you wanna weigh another breakdown
Kicking up and had enough
That all it just seems so relentless
And oh you play it strange

And anyway
We all got a little bit of something
We all got more than we bargained for
Got a need for something
But you and I we made it more

Ain't gonna make another play today
I know, I'm waiting on a sender
Ain't gonna take my weight until you wait
I know, I need another mender
But it's to you I'm making a surrender

But you and I we made it more

Ain't gonna make another play today
I know, I'm waiting on a sender
Ain't gonna take my weight until you wait
I know, I need another mender
But it's to you I'm making a surrender

We all got a little bit of something
We all got more than we bargained for

Give me a letter
The sooner the better
I'm out of here

Give me a card
I'm not waiting hard
To hear you

All I'm trying to do
Is all you want to say

Give me a letter
The sooner the better
I'm away from you

Trying so hard
I'm not taking a car
And I'll lose you

All I want to do
Is all I'm trying to say

What I'm trying to say
Is what I'm trying to do

Give me a letter
The sooner the better
I'm out of here

Give me a card
I'm not waiting hard
To hear you

What I'm trying to say
What I'm trying to do
Is keeping up with you

The mechanical wonder is
It's just a noise in my room
And i'm chasing the wonder and
It's just a hole in my tune

And the radio plays but it
But it don't sing a song
And the mechanical thunder is
What is all going wrong

And i walk down the road and i
I awake in a tune
But the mechanical thunder is
It's just a noise in my room

And we rode it once
On a thundering night
So i'll walk with you
Where the locks take flight

Oh machines make our lives today
And i like them the best
But the mechanical thunder is
It's just a noise in my head

And the radio plays at me
But it don't sing a song
But the mechanical wonder is
How it's all going wrong

And they rode it once ("And we rode it once" on last chorus)
On a thundering night
So i'll walk with you
Where the locks take flight
And we'll keep on through
It's where the road don't roar
Where the farm once stood
Where the union crawls, big time

They're machines that i'm walking from
Though they play in the songs
And the dreams that you're holding on
Don't hold on for so long

So i'm hiding machines away
But i'll keep them for you
But the things that you wanna say
it's just a noise in my room

And i look at the picture now
And there's a weight on us all
But the mechanical wonder is
It's a cure one and all

Repeat full chorus with slight variation

You are amazing
It's the truth
And it's often fading
Without you

I don't feel the wind blow
I don't feel the hard rock
I don't feel it when it breaks your heart
I don't feel it all get
To far from the start

You are a lady
It's the truth
And it's often shady
Behind you

I don't feel the hollow
I don't feel it all broke
I don't need it when you make your mark
I don't live in malice
I need a morning heart

Standing here and hollow
It's the only thing broke
And it shakes you and it makes you start
Like a singing widow
Which won't mend your heart

You are amazing
It's the truth

If I gave you my heart where would you be
Would it mean nothing if not for me?
If I gave you my eyes what would they see
Would they see nothing if not for me?

But I gave you my hand and my sign
And my soul on the earth
And I gave up on truth
When I heard about the worst

So I lived out of love
When I gave it away
And I sold off my soul
When there was no-one to pay

If I gave you my hand what would it write
Would it say nothing or say it's alright
If I gave you my arms would they hold you tight
First light of morning or bid you goodnight

And I gave you my strength and my worth
And I gave you my gift
And I moved on the first
And I left us to drift

And I'll reap from the soil
And I'll build homes from wood
It's a new better life
And we have to and should

And I gave you my dream of the world
And we stood on the quay
And we sang to the wind
And the whole darkening sea

And I feel my weight
And I guard my soul
And I found my beliefs
When I found my control

I gave you my hand
And my soul on the earth
And I gave up on the truth
When I heard about the worst

So I lived out of love
When I gave it away
And I sold off my soul
When there was no-one to pay

I want more than me and you
The more I want the more it scares me
I will put my faith in you
Won't you be my missionary?
I can't, can't get back to the baseline

Had too much of waiting up
Had too much of things I tell you
It's the only way and it's love
Fill my cup oh I've said too much
Oh I can't, I can't get back to the baseline
Oh I can't, I can't get back to the baseline

I've been on freight train buzz
So I'm trying to tell you
The only thing I need's your love
But I can't, Oh I can't, Oh I can't, I can't
I can't get back to the baseline

It's the way of feeling good
It is all that's necessary
I guess that it's from above
I'm no fool but I guess too much
And I can't, I can't get back to the baseline
Oh I can't, I can't get back to the baseline

I've been on freight train buzz
So I'm trying to tell you
The only thing I need's your love
But I can't, Oh I can't, Oh I can't, I can't
I can't get back to the baseline

Fare you well and I will choose
When I find it I will tell you
I belong to the same as you
Won't you be my missionary?
I can't get back to the baseline
Oh I can't get back to the baseline

You were arriving
Of this I'm sure
You were just hiding all around your door
That would be telling
And it's not for free
You're all the rage when you're out with me

Gotta do something
Something for free
Gotta do something for me
It ain't complaining
Ah just you see
You gotta do something for me

You won't be foolish
Of this I'm sure
But I'm feeling used when I'm round your door
That ain't complaining
Ah just you see
You not the same when it's not for me

Gotta do something
Something for free
You gotta do something for me
It ain't complaining
Ah just you see
You gotta do something for me
