BLUE MOON:
WALK DOWN TO THE WATER
The harsh scorching sun seems to hum in my head. Blurs my eyes, blurs my thoughts. Time stands still for me. I'm watching my friends. They're shimmering, they're sailing new horizons. I just watch them go. Look at them go. I walk down to the water, let the chill sooth my soul, and look at them go. I just watch them go.MAGIC LAMP
Is this the way he holds you? Is this the way you kiss? Is this the way he found you? Is this what drew him in? I love the way you tease me, you know you lead me on. I wouldn't have it any other way. This is the way I like it. This is the way things should be.VIVA
What don't you give when we share it all? What should I think is behind it all? Do yourself a favour. Do yourself some good. Do us all some good.GOODNIGHT
We know why we do the things we do, they're there to make us feel better. We made it work, we'd just sit and talk for hours. We'd knock it down, that's what we'd always do. We gave it up, just like we knew we would. So now I fill my time, force things to the back of my mind. I spend money I haven't got. I scratch at plans I'm not sure that i want. This is why I work the way I do. This is why I say the things I do. It seems like such a long time ago that you put your arms around me, to hold me till the comfort drowned me. These arms of mine they barely know you now. These two arms still longing to hold you.COME REASSURE ME
My love, is that what you're frightened of? It's too much. I realise that now. One day, you'll find that your heart broke along with mine. I hate the way your head rules your heart, and I hate the day I saw the sense in what you say. Come, come, come, come reassure me. You didn't foresee this, you didn't understand. You can give it up but it won't die down. I bet you realise that now. I bet you realise that now.ALL THE REASONS SLIDE
All the evidence points to a new dream. All the reasons slide. All the reasons blur. Listen to what they are saying, they say "its's all gone". I've beeen calling your house for days. Oh, but you're never home. Just you voice on an answer-phone, me, a machine and my obsession. There's got to be a reason for you being here. There's got to be a time, somehow. There's got to be you here. There's got to be love. There's got to be a reason for you being here. There's got to be a time, somehow.DRIFTING
You're floating along, it's hardly worth trying, secure in you so charmed life. You're drifting. You know you are. It's turning sour on you. The time to try, it's coming soon. It's coming soon.NO ANSWERED PRAYERS
I'll promise you it all if you tell me all your secrets. I'll take them, tear them open, pass the feeling round send us spiralling down. Watching the world, it's ticking along, from our lives now turned upside down. They're moving around us showing no interest. It's a strange feeling here. Do you feel anything? Can you know how I feel? What's the matter now? Too much the good time boy with guilt, guilt, guilt it's all over your face. Two times more. no answered prayers? No, none at all. Do what's imagined you do. Imagine you do. For all, yes all, wash them all. Wash all. The taste, taste, taste. Listen to this. Listen to it. I've done bad things.
