I've called you so many times today, And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say. That you don't ever want to see me again, And your brother's going to kill me and he's six feet ten. I guess you'd call it cowardice, But I'm not prepared to go on like this.
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing. I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing. I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing. I can't stand losing you...
Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw: A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore. Seems I'm not alone at being alone A hundred billion castaways, looking for a home.
Young teacher, the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy. She wants him so badly, Knows what she wants to be. Inside her there's longing, This girl's an open page. Book marking - she's so close now, This girl is half his age.
It's no use, he sees her; He starts to shake and cough. Just like the old man in That book byNabakov.
Don't Stand So Close to Me
How can you say that you're not responsible? What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity.
Turn on the radio, the static hurts my ears. Tell me, where would I go? I ain't been out in years. Turn on the stereo, it's played for years and years: AnOtis Redding song, it's all I own.
Don't think me unkind, Words are hard to find. They're only cheques I've left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind. And when their eloquence escapes me, Their logic ties me up and rapes me.
Poets, priests and politicians Have words to thank for their positions. Words that scream for your submission And no one's jamming their transmission. 'Cos when their eloquence escapes you, Their logic ties you up and rapes you.
I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way. But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone, Long before tongue has tripped me, Must I always be alone?
Every little thing she does is magic; Everything she do just turns me on. Even though my life before was tragic, Now I know my love for her goes on.
You come to me like a moth to the flame. It's love you need but I don't play that game. 'Cause you could be my greatest fan, But I'm nobody's friend, I'm a demolition man.
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration, But we know all her suicides are fake. Daddy only stares into the distance, There's only so much heartache he can take. Many miles away, Something crawls from the slime At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake.
Another working day has ended, Only the rush hour hell to face. Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes, Contestants in a suicidal race. Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance. He knows that something somewhere has to break. He sees the family home now looming in his headlights, The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache.
Synchronicity II
Every breath you take; Every move you make; Every bond you break; Every step you take, I'll be watching you.
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace. I dream at night I can only see your face. I look around but it's you I can't replace. I feel so cold and I long for your embrace. I keep crying baby, baby please.
Oh can't you see You belong to me? How my poor heart aches With every step you take.
Every Breath You Take
There's a little black spot on the sun today; It's the same old thing as yesterday. There's a black hat caught in a high tree top; There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop.
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain. I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign, But it's my destiny to be the king of pain.
You consider me the young apprentice Caught between theScylla andCharybdis. Hypnotized by you if I should linger, Staring at the ring around your finger.
I have only come here seeking knowledge, Things they wouldn't teach me of in college. I can see the destiny you sold Turned into a shining band of gold.
I'll be wrapped around your finger. I'll be wrapped around your finger.
