Say
What you need to say
I may already know
And it’s all too late
You
It was always you
Who kept me sane
As I disintegrate
Change
A change is going to come someday
Wrapped around a vapour veil
I love you in my own strange way
I always did and I always may
Your tired eyes
Don’t lie
And hearts can change
It’s all over your face
And I
I’m in my finest hour
Still not high enough
To feel nothing at all
Change
A change is going to come someday
Wrapped around a vapour veil
I love you in my own strange way
I always did and I always may
A change is going to come someday
All the promises that I’ve made
I love you in my own strange way
We’ll vanish in a vapour veil
Change
A change is going to come someday
Wrapped around a vapour veil
I love you in my own strange way
I always did and I always may
A change is going to come someday
All the promises that I’ve made
I love you in my own strange way
We’ll vanish in a vapour veil

Live Forever
04:17

It’s Friday night and we’re out again
Claiming that youth is ours
We run the streets and search for the high
And we only come out at night
That’s what we do, me and you
What else can we do
But dance and drink and screw?
Wild hearts
Forever young
Living the dream together
And you and I, we’re gonna live forever
Wild hearts
Forever young
Living the dream together
And you and I, we’re gonna live forever
The ecstasy runs a mile in my head
Turning me into a better man
And I don’t waste my life on regrets
This is as good as it gets
There’s a rave going down somewhere
Let’s split a cab that’ll take us there
Wasted youth, that’s what they call us
Melina come on, the night’s still young
Wild hearts
Forever young
Living the dream together
And you and I, we’re gonna live forever
Wild hearts
Forever young
Living the dream together
And you and I, we’re gonna live forever
I’m 28 with no place of my own
‘Cause I can’t afford to buy me a home
I’m out of my game and you’re out my league
But you smile at me with all your perfect teeth
Wild hearts
Forever young
Living the dream together
And you and I, we’re gonna live forever
Wild hearts
Forever young
Living the dream together
And you and I, we’re gonna live forever

Mistakes
03:51

I wanted to study and get a job that wouldn’t enslave me
Instead I’m working in a bar and write songs about nothing
You spend your days making the money roll and your weekends in Margate
Middleclass dads who drug it up to give their weekends some meaning
You’ll never see it
No, you’ll never understand
Every little thing I never said
Every little thing I never did
Everything I can’t do again
Here’s to my mistakes
Every little thing that I did say
Every little thing that I did
Everything that can’t be unmade
Here’s to my mistakes
I drink too much these days, oh I know, or so she tells me
I wanted a beautiful wife and kids who would adore me
Hearts I broke and lips I kissed, a friend I never called
We take the drugs to make us numb and feel nothing at all
You’ll never see it
No, you’ll never understand
Every little thing I never said
Every little thing I never did
Everything I can’t do again
Here’s to my mistakes
Every little thing that I did say
Every little thing that I did
Everything that can’t be unmade
Here’s to my mistakes
Every little thing I never said
Every little thing I never did
Everything I can’t do again
Here’s to my mistakes
Every little thing that I did say
Every little thing that I did
Everything that can’t be unmade
Here’s to my mistakes

I’ve slept on your side of our bed
Since you packed your things and went away
And in the mornings I still make coffee for two
And drink it all up, what else can I do?
And waste my time on Instagram
Reminiscing what once was
Morrissey knew what he was talking about
I am human and I need to be loved
It’s oh so true
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like you
I am human and I need to be loved
I ran into your best friend last night
She said that you’re doing fine
But that’s not what I want to hear
I want to hear that you want me near
That you long for me, that you’re missing me
That I am all you want and need
Morrissey sure, he put it right
There is a light that never goes out
It’s oh so true
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like you
I am human and I need to be loved
It’s oh so true
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like you
I am human and I need to be loved
And suddenly
In front of me
It hurts with every heartbeat
You’re holding hands
Who is he
With dyed black hair and skinny jeans?
Go, go, go, go!
Just go away
I want to kick him in the head
And how it hurts
It hurts so bad
Will I ever find love again?
It’s oh so true
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like you
I am human and I need to be loved
What difference does it make?
Heaven knows I’m miserable now
I’ve got a thorn in my side
There’s a light that never goes out
Half a person asleep
Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me
There’s a light that never goes out
I’m human and I need to be loved

October

October leaves us
And the colours fade
Nothing lasts forever
Are we fading the same?
I put out my cigarette
Nothing needs to be said
You are so sacred
And I am your autumn slave
I think you are safer with me in here
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in us?
Am I the one you want?
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in us?
In here we’re safe from harm
Do you believe
In you and me?
Have we found true love?
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in us?
Am I the one you want?
I awake by your kiss
As you get out of bed
You take your morning shower
And then I watch you get dressed
You put on some make up and you brush your hair
You drink your morning coffee
And then you disappear
I think you are safer with me here
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in us?
Am I the one you want?
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in us?
In here we’re safe from harm
Do you believe
In you and me?
Have we found true love?
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in us?
Am I the one you want?
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in us?
In here we’re safe from harm
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in us?
Am I the one you want?

Modern Love
05:25
|

Another Monday morning on the central line
I swear to God, one day I’ll ride to heaven on it
And the days go by as I swipe from left to right
And dance the nights away in the lonely lights
Everything has its time but mine’s just passing by
I know that I’ve changed
I’m not the same anymore
And I know as the world turns
We’ve been here before
She said, it’s in my northern soul
I need to find something more than love
A modern love
I’m not looking for a lover or a new friend
I just want someone who will want me in the same way
I want to change my clothes and my face and my hair
I want to change this body and my lack of savoir faire
And I don’t want to go home ‘cause there’s nothing for me there
I know that I’ve changed
I’m not the same anymore
I know that I need
To move along
She said it’s in my northern soul
I need to find something more than love
A modern love
I know that I’ve changed
I’m not the same anymore
I know that I need
To move along
She said it’s in my northern soul
I need to find something more than love
A modern love

Shadows (album version)
05:30
|

Underneath the words
Beyond the truth
Promises I made
And a wasted youth
If I could change
Just one thing
But with all the things I did
What difference would it make?
I remember things that never should have been
And I have forgotten anyone who ever called me a friend
I hide away
In the shadows
Like a vapour veil
In the shadows
I hide away
In the shadows
Like a vapour veil
An unknown number appears
On a broken screen
Tears up a rift
Into eternity
And the ravage of time
Tear us down
Corrode us apart
Into the unknown
Down in the darkness burns a flame for eternity
But here and now is all that matters to me
In the shadows
I hide away
In the shadows
Like a vapour veil
In the shadows
I hide away
In the shadows
Like a vapour veil
In the shadows
Shadows
Shadows
In the shadows
I hide away
Shadows Shadows
Shadows Shadows
In the shadows
Like a vapour veil
In the shadows
I hide away
In the shadows
Like a vapour veil

Eleanor

I saw you last night
In your babys arms
Standing in the lights
Looking upper class
You didn’t see me
Or recognized me
I guess the years
Haven’t shown me mercy
You’ve come a long way, I can tell
From the council estates that we called hell
You were the girl who wore glasses
And once upon a time you had a crush on me
Eleanor
I know your name
Eleanor
I wanted to say 'hi'
But I said nothing at all
I didn't want to embarrass you
And maybe you don't want to recall
About the shit hole
Where we grew up
You've got finer friends now
Much finer than I'll ever know
You've come a long way, I can tell
From the council estates that we called hell
You were the girl who wore glasses
And once upon a time you had a crush on me
Eleanor
I know your name
Eleanor
And as the band kept playing ´The Last Hurrah’
You walked out through the door
You've traded a life in the council estates for finer friends and champagne
But to me you'll stay the same
Eleanor
I know your name
Eleanor
I'm glad you came
Eleanor
As you walk out, through the door
I remember years ago
You were my first kiss
Back in the council estates
To me you're still the same
Eleanor

She’s in my bed again
I promised myself she wouldn’t be
But she was alone and needed someone
So I let her come and confide in me
And when morning comes
She just leaves me all on my own
With a bitter taste of
Something that I can never have
I just want to show
That I am for real
I want you to know
Just how I feel
How we could be
Dancing slow, cheek to cheek
I pull you so close to feel each breath that you take
So you’re back for another night?
Don’t you know that I’m down for life?
They say true love waits for those
Who believe with open hearts
I want to believe it
I’m down on my knees, and
I want to know how true love feels
I just want to show
That I am for real
I want you to know
Just how I feel
I just need to know
If this is for real
I just want to know
How true love feels
How true love feels
You
You are my lover
We hide under the covers
And leave this cruel, cruel world outside
You
You offer me affection
I offer you protection
From the world outside
You
You give my life a meaning
I give your life a reason
For forever and tonight
I lost myself believing in love
And you lost yourself in too much hurt
We lost our selves…
Is this love?
Is this what you need?
Is this what I want?
Is this what you get when you mess with love?
