Welcome To The World

Well, I don't have a thing to gain.
I'm just hungry for some pain.
And when I think about the girls
I should be thinking about the world.

But I should never come apart.
I should never come apart.
Punch a hole right through your beating heart.

And you just ran right out of luck.
You've slid right down and now you're stuck.
Waiting for the cracking in your bones,
Hello, welcome to the world.

Punch a hole right through your heart.
Punch a hole right through your heart.
What do we do when the car won't start?

Can't you give me
One last desperate smile?

And I'll... Punch a hole right through your heart.
Punch a hole right through your heart.
Punch a hole right through your heart.

Safe Day

Have you been having nightmares again?
Have you been trying to murder your friends?
Lynda has been knocking at your door.
She's been hearing a thumping against the wall.

I don't think I really mind
When you run away.
Just stay in touch with me
And have a safe day.
I never never understand you.
I never ever listen to you.
But I'll have a safe day too.

In the spring, you know the trees
They can grow back all their leaves.
And I can't really see
Why you turned on your belief.
I take my time, I never rush my food.
I take my time, I know I'll be with you soon.

I don't think you really mind
When I run away.
Just stay in touch with me and
Have a safe day.

Well
I've been in my room turning to powder
And you've been growing wilder by the hour.
I can't get to sleep.
I can't eat my tea.
I can't clean my teeth.
I can't hardly see.

I've been walking down by the bay
And you've been having too many Red Wednesdays.
Red Wednesdays.
Red Wednesdays.

Well
China shops
And mountain climbs
And car parks you can never find.
Pop-up books and fatal shots
And tidal waves that never stop.
Chainsaws and millionaires.
The big fish coming up for air.
I broke my wings for swans and lakes.
I think I fell in love today.
Well have a safe day.
Have a safe day.

Jonathan Rain

I was screaming at my window.
I was laughing at your pain.
Wash away the blood
And take me into your heart again.
Down a never ending staircase
I follow the sound of your voice.
I've lost the will to hate you
As if I ever had a choice.
I walk a road
Back to the world.
It's another place to go.
You were being poisoned
And you didn't even know.

Jonathan Rain, Jonathan Rain.
Take me into your heart again.
Jonathan Rain, Jonathan Rain.
Tell me that you'll never change.

Tell me that you'll use me
And I'll tell you I'm not the same.
Open your arms
And take me into your Hell again.
Why don't you ask them
And have another cold affair?
We could start another war
Or we could sit and stare.

Go ahead and do
Anything you feel you ought to.
The dead are still my friends.
I think I'll leave the rest to you.
You wake me up
You hit me.
I don't know if I should cry.
But something's telling me
You know, I really ought to try.

Jonathan Rain, Jonathan Rain.
Take me into your heart again.
Jonathan Rain, Jonathan Rain.
Tell me that you'll never change.

I could be so sad
I never knew anyone else...

Empire (Jonathan Rain Part II)

I'm up here
In my empire in the clouds.
I can see
All your houses burning down.

My blind messiah.

I can see someone in there
On the floor bleeding,
And he's saying:
'Please stay young for me'.
He's saying:
'Where were you, where were you
When you needed me?'

Everyone's looking for a fire to fight.
Everyone's out in your Rain tonight.
But now all the fires have gone.
And I only want you to stay young.
Stay young for me.
Stay young for me.

Five Graves To Cairo

The rising sun
Holds no peace for me.
I only find I haven't gone insane.
I can't hear you now,
Pain's such a quiet thing.
Now I find I burn myself again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
Can't you see
This means so much to me?

Swollen hands
Clutch at the burning sand.
I know that this could never be the same.
Thought I was close
Searching for buried things.
I only find I'm lost in space again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
Can't you see
This means so much to me?

The moon is cold,
Burning like ice in the sky,
And we forget the things we used to say.
This nightmare drops
Into our open hands
And now I know I've crossed the bridge again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
The burning rose.
Five graves to Cairo.

Memories
Of graves cloud my mind
And Cairo seems to move so far away.
I follow you,
Though reasons escape me now.
I fall and find I'm lost in space again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
The burning rose.
Five graves to Cairo.

Charlotte's Face

I'm looking at my hand
And my lifeline's shrinking
Standing on the sand
Watching you sinking
I believe in love
I believe in drinking
I believe you're happy
I believe you're staring

At Charlotte's face
Charlotte's face

Now I'm singing again
Because my love is growing
It can travel 'round the world
And it can keep on going

Charlotte's face
Charlotte's face
Charlotte's face
Let's all go round to Charlotte's place

You've been blowing my trumpet
You've been snowing on me
I've been shouting your name
At everyone I see
You pulled me up
You filled my space
I raised my eyes
And I saw Charlotte's face

Charlotte's face
Charlotte's face

Julie Christie

It looks like it might rain today
It doesn't really matter
I still wish I was in your shoes
And
I find I'm out of my mind
In the flooded passages of time
But I breathe so well when I'm with you

I find time to look at myself
Yeah
I can't believe my own eyes
No one looks like you tonight

You found your own way home
You hacked your own way out of here
Oh Julie, Julie

We could be looking down
On the rain and the clouds and the killing sounds
We could be in flight
I think I'll wait, I'll wait for you
So
Don't say I'm not believing
But I couldn't find you anywhere
Underwater, trying to choose
The right way to be without you
The right way to explain the truth
Oh, find the time to be on my side
I have been lying again
All in the line of duty
And
No one looks like you tonight

You know I can't go home
I cannot bear to lose you again
Oh
Julie, Julie
If you could be found
I would come back from the sea
Oh
Julie, Julie
I would let myself drown
If you would believe in me
Julie, Julie
Breathe to me

All the time now
All night now
Julie, Julie
I'm not sure now
I'm not sure now
Julie

Poisoned Angel

It's your castle
You should guard it
I asked you
To sing for me
You just cried instead
I don't know
What you'll think of me
For saying what I said

It's what you wanted
Now here you are
She's got the whole world in her hands
And she didn't even know
No one's ever told her
She's so in love with her misery
The whole world makes her colder

Destiny

You whispered something in my ear
And I couldn't sink that low
You were being poisoned
And you didn't even know
I asked you to think for me
And all I got was tears
How can I turn back the clock
After all these years

Incurable

When I see you and you're shining
I'll run to your smile
And when the rain stops blinding me
I'll never ask why
There's so much I need to tell you
And you're miles away
I've been through Hell to talk to you
And there's nothing to say

The sun comes up
And I can see your eyes
I'm not the shadow I used to be
I've lost the things
That made this paradise
I'm so blind I can really see

Just close your eyes and clear the clouds
Oh I hope you never change
If I seem so different now
It's because I've stayed the same

If people stuck to what they say
Then life just wouldn't be the same
I think I've lost the will to fly
It's an incurable insight
And when I watch the sun go down
These memories make no more sound
I'd love to hold you and we'd shine
But we just haven't got the time

Painted Promise

You shed your skin for no one
And you're blind as you speak
You're staring at the world
While I'm watching my feet
I gave you the controls
Now you're stabbing my back
I can't change the world
So don't look at me like that

And I can find
Behind your eyes
A promise I can hide behind

I can fade away

If I fight myself
I can only win
You cut off my hands
I didn't feel a thing
When you look straight through me
I can't act naturally
So don't look for shame in me
Look for some kind of belief

And if I pray
You'll go away
All those promises you paint
Will just

Fade
Fade away

I was in the softest mood
I was dreaming of you
What's another change?
Another promise to lose?

So if these walls
Just crack and fall
We can walk into the flames
And I'll

Breathe
Breathe in your air again
Breathe
Breathe in your air again

Artificial Flowers

All this time
You haven't changed your mind
I was looking for clouds
Now what did I find?

These crucial conversations
Mean everything to me

I started laughing
Was it always this way?
I started slipping
And now you're flying away

So I packed my toothbrush
Hid all my letters
And I set off on this passionate journey

Were you listening?
This was the shortest day
I started slipping
And now you're climbing away

You know it's hard to fight with The Devil on your back
It's hard to fight with The Devil on your back

You painted me
All sorts of colours
Then stripped them away
With these artificial flowers

I was never that strong

And all you left me
For crying out loud
Was a place to kneel
And some artificial flowers

I was never that strong
