The Upper Room Album

It's a funny feeling, not really
Comfort me, cos I'm hearing violins
In the streets, friends I meet say
It's all over this town

The way you cheat, the way you lie
The way you want me to die
Over this
Over this
Over this town

The way you drive through the night
With a gun, me in your sights
Over this
Over this
Over this town

I'm caught in your headlights
No escape, move too late
And I'm hearing violins, in my head
In my bed,
Cause it's all over this town
And that does get around

The way you cheat
The way you lie
The way you want me to die
Over this
Over this
Over this town

The way you drive through the night
With a gun, me in your sights
Over this
Over this
Over this town

So many questions, floating around
But for the moment, hide underground

The way you cheat
The way you lie
The way you want me to die
Over this
Over this
Over this town

The way you drive through the night
With a gun, me in your sights
Over this
Over this
Over this town

I met her under a shelter
We were hiding from the rain (ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
She was blowing bubbles
And I'll never feel the same (ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain
I'll miss you in a minute
If you'll only feel the same
Oh...

Now it's all black and white for me baby
It's all black and white for me now
It's all black and white for me baby
It's all black and white for me now
Yeah

She held an orange bottle
And she drunk it with a straw (ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
I watched her glide around
Around the people on the floor (ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain
I'll kiss you in a minute
If you'll only feel the same
Oh...

Now it's all black and white for me baby
It's all black and white for me now
It's all black and white for me baby
It's all black and white for me now
Oh... oh... oh... ooooh...
Yeah

She threw a dart right through my shirt to my heart
Then came back later I had all but fallen apart (ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain
Will she ever feel the same
Oh...

Now it's all black and white for me baby
It's all black and white for me now
It's all black and white for me baby
It's all black and white for me now
Oh... oh... oh... ooooh... ooooh...

Now it's all black and white for me baby
It's all black and white for me now
It's all black and white for me baby
It's all black and white for me now

She really gets me started
Every time that she is near
Shame that we're always parted
Shame that she's never near

On the day that we went out shopping
All she bought were very short skirts
Shame that we're always parted
Shame that she's always saying

Please stop calling me at home
Please stop calling me at home
Thought I think you're lovely baby
Won't you please, leave me alone?

Found a note lying on your table
Found a note, dropped it on the floor
And he always will be parted
Of that I'm completely sure

Please stop calling me at home
Please stop calling me at home
Thought I think you're lovely baby
Won't you please, leave me alone?

Please stop calling me at home
Please stop calling me at home
Thought I think you're lovely baby
Won't you please, leave me alone?

In a recipe for a disaster
In a tragedy forever after
I hate to say, I hate to say, I hate to say
That the people in my life have gone tomorrow
Here today, they're here to...

I have lost the only one who mattered to me
Creep around your house because you hate your family
But I have lost the only one who mattered to me
Lights are very low because you hate your body

In a club at night into the dark
In another time into the heart
The more we drink, the more we drink, the more we drink
Then our problems aren't as bad as what we think
As what we think, as what we...

I have lost the only one who mattered to me
Creep around your house because you hate your family
But I have lost the only one who mattered to me
Lights are very low because you hate your body
(repeat)

Remember slagging all your best friends off
it always made me happy, yeah
because i do prefer you when you're cross
i need your tears true
i need your sighs too
i do despise you

then there was a terrible crime
near to our house
we talked all the time
panicked about if they'd ever come back
ever come back
ever come back

remember calling you some nasty words
i said that you were evil, yeah
all the terrible things you heard
i need your tears true
i need your sighs too
i do despise you

then there was a terrible crime
near to our house
we talked all the time
panicked about if they'd ever come back
ever come back
ever come back

i need your tears true
i need your sighs too
i do despise you

whenever there's a terrible crime
near to our house
we talk all the time
panick about if they'll ever come back
ever come back
ever come back
(never come, never come)

You say that I'm over the top
You say that I couldn't feel...
That wa-a-a-ay
From the back of your automobile
I say that I know it's real
So never ever stray

You were happy but that changed from day to day
Whenever you were under, whenever it was over
Think it's over then
You're living on a fancy street
But you're not complete
You are not complete

They can't kill kill kill you anymore
They can't kill kill kill you anymore
They can't kill kill kill you anymore

It's a wound that will never heal
Weighed down cause you couldn't feel...
That wa-a-a-ay
You fell in love but that's okay
You had a friend but that's okay
So never ever say

That you're happy and it's better every day
Whenever you were under, whenever it was over
Think it's over then
You're living on a fancy street
But you're not complete
You are not complete

They can't kill kill kill you anymore
They can't kill kill kill you anymore
They can't kill kill kill you anymore

When we're on the concrete
Standing on the same street
I won't let our eyes meet

And it's true that I told them how
It's here and I'm feeling now...
That wa-a-a-ay
She swims a lot but thats okay
We don't talk a lot...
That wa-a-a-ay

We hate everyone we meet
Cause they think that they are sweet
Live together in a house
Life is easy in this town

And from the day that you were born
You made it clear that you are torn
Between joy and misery
Happy times, agony
Or is that just me?

This is a portrait of a life
This is a photo on the wall
This is the sharp edge of a knife
Ending it all
Ending it all

We hear laughter all around
Cover ears, escape the sounds
But feel guilty later on
Cause we know that we are wrong

And from the day that you were born
You made it clear that you are torn
Between joy and misery
Happy times, agony
Or is that just me?

This is a portrait of a life
This is a photo on the wall
This is the sharp edge of a knife
Ending it all
Ending it all

Oooh...

This is a portrait of a life
This is a photo on the wall
This is the sharp edge of a knife
Ending it all
Ending it all

On the last day
Of the year, year
In the garden, very clear
But what I fear
Is that I'm losing
What I held dear
But my goal
Is nothing at all

They said it's (they said it's)
Pathetic (pathetic)
But I won't (but I won't)
Forget it

She was the centre
You're taking me
Towards the centre
Of my old life

Take an issue
Or a truth, truth
Go and shout it from the roof
Yeah from the roof
People call it
Self-abuse
But my goal
Is nothing at all

They said it's (they said it's)
Pathetic (pathetic)
But I won't (but I won't)
Forget it

She was the centre
You're taking me
Towards the centre
Of my old life

(guitar solo)

Don't talk about it
(Don't talk about it)

They said it's (they said it's)
Pathetic (pathetic)
But I won't (but I won't)
Forget it

She was the centre
You're taking me
Towards the centre
Of my old life
She was the centre
You're taking me
Towards the centre
Of my old life

Be like me, quit your job
Money don't mean anything much
I took a means of transport
Down to your old school
All the way thinking how

That you were once for me
Like I once was for you
That you were once for me
Like I once was for you

Around the world they have been told
She let me down lightly in love
She took a means of transport
Down to my old school
All the way screaming how

That you were once for me
Like I once was for you
That you were once for me
Like I once was for you

Oh, you hate everything I do
Oh, you say nothing good reminds me of you

Oooh...

When you arrive, and when you leave
Nothing will change here, and so...
You take a means of transport
Down to our old school
Tearing your photos of her

And you were once for me
Like I once was for you
And you were once for me
Like I once was for you

Oooh...

Set the scene, we're running from danger
In a new area we're living with a stranger
And taking precautions so they'll never know where we've been

And couple that are going out, we're nowhere to be found
When I was young girl, you were never really here but now
With a piano in a freezing deserted house

A little piece of me was calling
A little piece of you was falling

When they come for our mothers and brothers
And under the floorboards they look for our lovers
And throwing our clothes out of the window and down the stairs

But all around the area they will only find ties and hats
Under the pianos they will only find booby traps
Under their noses we're moving behind their backs

A little piece of me was calling
A little piece of you was falling

We weren't always this close
But I loved you the most
You weren't always my girl
Girl... girl... girl

And almost every night
Almost alright, almost there...

A little piece of me was calling
A little piece of you was falling
You weren't always my girl
Girl... girl... girl

One heart beats suffocation
You're in my eye
You talk of starving nations
That are very dry
And all the years of segregation
Make you wanna cry
Heart beat of the starving nation
Telling me the reasons why

It was a combination of many things

Big bang and the constellations
Make you feel alone
You march on the corporations
That invade our homes
You don't take all the new medication
So tell me why you have grown

It was a combination of many things, uhuh
It's like a combination of many things, uhuh

You're the kind of girl that could fit
You're the kind of girl in my world
You're the kind of girl that could fit

You ... to a new medication (?)
Far away from here
It's too bad your accomodation
Isn't very near
Cause you make me think twice
And you are kind of right
That we're sitting on top of...
And we're dancing on top of...
And we're jumping on top of...
And we're laughing on top of...
And we're living on top of the ice

It was a combination of many things
It's like a combination of many things
It was a combination of many things
Of many things
Of many things
