lyrics

Supermarket Trolley of Despair

really doesn't matter | smile | sloppy kisses | leaving
didn't think so | without a fight | sophie's world
let her down gently | say what you want | the flood
the walk | after all

[a-z]

after all
didn't think so
leaving
let her down gently
really doesn't matter
say what you want
sloppy kisses
smile
sophie's world
the flood
the walk
this love
without a fight

Purple Days

really doesn't matter | leaving | didn't think so
let her down gently | this love | the flood | the walk



after all

Have you noticed
Our time is rushing by
And the rain is running dry
And my eyes are raised to the sky
My hands are open wide

And my sins shine like gems like precious stones
As they tie me to my throne
Now my kingdom comes, I cry, I run
I see what's going on

Hold my hand now, don't leave me 'til it's gone

You and I were
You and I were not so different after all
You and I were
You and I were not so different after all

And I cling to whoever's passing by
As the world speeds up it's ride
And I can see you're just like me
You have your father's eyes

Hold my hand now, don't ever leave my side

You and I were
You and I were not so different after all
You and I were
You and I were not so different after all

didn't think so

I want an answer, a reason for this
Did you hear my question, destroy your bliss
Oh what a pity, that my world is surreal
I don't fit in your box, or conform to the deal

Can you give me an explanation
Can you rationalise your fear
I didn't think so, I didn't think so

I second-guessed you, I know your type
Too quick to reproach me, too sure that you're right
You're not listening to what's being said
You've made up your mind, it's all clear in your head

Can you give me an explanation
Can you rationalise your fear
I didn't think so, I didn't think so

My passion shocks you, I can't help myself
Injustice in action, it's not making sense
Just look around you, why can't you see
What you call a problem, includes you and me

Your ignorance frustrates me
Your compassion is ill-placed
When our children reel in confusion
Well, will you show your face

Can you give me an explanation
Can you rationalise your fear
I didn't think so, I didn't think so

leaving

It's alright, it's ok,
I didn't want it anyway,
Push me back, push me round,
I'll take it all without a sound
I stopped my running, stopped my thoughts
Built a wooden boat of sorts
I don't fight no reason to
Cause there won't be no room for you

I've got this feeling, I'll soon be leaving

Baby cry and hello scream
Baby die and hollow dream
I say bye bye, I blow a kiss
I say bye bye to all of this
Don't look, don't touch well that's ok
Cause it loses some each day
The more you frown, the more I smile
I'll see you there in just a while

I've got this feeling, you'll soon be leaving

It's alright, it's ok,
I didn't want it anyway,
Push me back, push me round,
I'll take it all without a sound

I've got this feeling, you'll soon be leaving

let her down gently

In the morning she awakes
as if a voice it told her
to a breakfast life that's warm
but like her toast gets colder
Slowly she will wrap her soul up tight
and head towards the door

Let her down gently, let her down slow
She doesn't care, she doesn't know
Let her down gently, let her down slow
She doesn't care, she doesn't know

Every hour that passes
leaves a scraping sound in the air
She should leave and she should change her life
but knows she doesn't dare
Happiness is made of glass
sometimes it's hard to know it's there

Let her down gently, let her down slow
She doesn't care, she doesn't know
Let her down gently, let her down slow
She doesn't care, she doesn't know

Going home she takes her place and waits
her turn and combs her hair
In the evening she turns it over
turns around and sees me there
Only for a moment then I'm lost
replaced by something new

Let her down gently, let her down slow
She doesn't care, she doesn't know
Let her down gently, let her down slow
She doesn't care, she doesn't know

really doesn't matter

It really doesn't matter at all
I try to talk to you
but you never seem to listen
I try to make some sense of it all
but the words that I say
don't seem to makes a difference
And I see just by the look in your eyes
Nothing I can do
Decision just been taken
So I might as well just talk to the wall
there's no communication
no communication at all

And I'm trying really hard not to hear
the voice inside that echoes my fear
but if I keep my head and try not to fall
then maybe none of this will matter at all

And I'm trying really hard not to hear
but the voice inside is loud and it's clear
that the time has come to answer the call
because it doesn't really matter at all

This road, taking me home again
my love, I can't take any more
like a dream, memories of angry scenes
fade away, as I open the door
And you smile, holding my hand awhile
and you say, it's no matter at all
So I try turning these thoughts to words
Spread my wings
And get ready to fly away

And I'm trying really hard not to hear
but the voice inside my head is so near
and your calmness in the midst of it all
must mean that none of this will matter at all

The best years of my life were for you
with your lack of faith
and your shouting and your screaming
Tried so hard to reason it through
all your twisted words
and your lying and your scheming
The politics, the rise and the fall
leave me cold inside
with no reason to believe in you
It really doesn't matter at all
time for me to go
time for me to leave you behind

It really doesn't matter at all (it doesn't matter)
It really doesn't matter
It really doesn't matter

No communication at all
No communication
No communication

It really doesn't matter at all (it doesn't matter)
Time for me to go (bye bye)
Time that I was leaving (bye bye)

It really doesn't matter at all (it doesn't matter)
It really doesn't matter
It really doesn't matter at all

say what you want

Say what you want if you're gonna say anything
Mean what you say when you come to say it anyway
Believe when you mean what you say and you're gonna be free
So don't repeat all the lies and deceit all around
You're gonna lose your soul and you'll never be found
Tell me no lies let the truth shine bright for me

Do what you want 'cos there's never any second chance
Life doesn't wait while you think about the consequence
Waiting for a time that is right may be wrong for you
Or you can live like the rest and avoid surprise
Living on the edge means you never have to compromise
Gotta take a risk if you wanna find out who you'll be

Say say baby that you wanna stay the night
Do do baby what you do to make it right
If you'll be my baby 'cos it's all I want from you
I'll be true true baby 'cos I'm so in love with you

Cruisin' down St Catherines on a Saturday night
We're rockin' and we're rollin' and we're feelin' alright
Listening to the music, tuning in to CHOM
Sun is coming up before we go and head back home

Be what you want to the best of your abilities
The cynics and the carpers and the critics are your enemies
The music and the words of the songs are for you and me
So I'll play what I want when I want to this day
Pick up my guitar 'cos I'm gonna play it anyway
Dreamin' of a day when I'm gonna play it on TV

Say say baby that you wanna stay the night
Do do baby what you do to make it right
If you'll be my baby 'cos it's all I want from you
I'll be true true baby 'cos I'm so in love with you

Lookin' kinda pretty in your skirt so tight
Ask you for a date, you say that you might
Dinner and a dance and a drink on Peel
Somethin' kinda special about the way you make me feel

Sing what you want sing it loud and sing clear
The voices all around make a crazy kind of atmosphere
Shout it all around that my baby's in love with me
And when we walk in the park hand in hand in the rain
Tellin' me you want me as your lover again
Tellin' all the world about the love between you and me

Say say baby that you wanna stay the night
Do do baby what you do to make it right
If you'll be my baby 'cos it's all I want from you
I'll be true true baby 'cos I'm so in love with you

High up on the mountain see the downtown lights
Chillin' in the heat of lazy Montreal nights
Never saw it coming but I guess it's kinda true
Something deep inside me says I'll always be with you

sloppy kisses

I think my woman
is seeing another man
Don't know for certain
I'll find out if I can
'Cos when I say she's mine
She's gotta be mine all the time

She came back last night
She didn't shed a tear
Now that's the first time
I've seen her smile in years
So I know something's wrong
When I find out what he's done

Cover me in sloppy kisses
Cover me in sloppy kisses
Lot's and lot's of sloppy kissin'
Gonna tell you what you're missin'
Life don't mean that much no more
Since you walked out that door

My other woman
She wouldn't do this to me
I know for certain
She loves me faithfully
She's good and kind and pure
What's more she gives me what I ask for

I saw my women
They were walking down the street
The sun was shining
They were laughing in the heat
They were holding hands
And I just don't understand

Cover me in sloppy kisses
Cover me in sloppy kisses
Lot's and lot's of sloppy kissin'
Gonna tell you what you're missin'
Life don't mean that much no more
Since you walked out that door

smile

'Cos your sun makes the sun come out
And your smile, makes me smile
And your stars makes the stars at night
Completely out of style

Baby, baby let me take you away
From all these violent thoughts of love
Baby, baby I can't remember the day
But I can picture violent thoughts of love

I mean your eyes could burn a hole in my head
And still come shining through
And then you're laugh could rock 'n' roll in it
There's nothing I could do

Baby, baby let me take you away
From all these violent thoughts of love
Baby, baby I can't remember the day
But I can picture violent thoughts of love

'Cos I was lost and on the road to you know where
And now I'm happy, 'cos I'm there
And my thoughts were like a supermarket
trolley of despair

Baby, baby let me take you away
From all these violent thoughts of love
Baby, baby I can't remember the day
But I can picture violent thoughts of love

sophie's world

Catching you I catch a river
Holding you is holding sand
Eyes are changing with the weather
Your smile slips through my hand

It's ok to fly away
It's ok to fly away
It's ok to fly away
It's ok to fly away

Baby every day you change
Still the same but re-arranged
I'm so scared that one day you
Will not recognise me too

It's ok to fly away
It's ok to fly away
It's ok to fly away
It's ok to fly away

She was born on the outside looking in
She was born in a big world looking thin

the flood

There's no room in the ark
There's no room in the ark
There's no room in the ark, no room for you

There's no room for the people too heavy to fly
There's no room for the people too empty to cry
No, they can't find no comfort here
Look and you'll see the dark clouds appear

There's no room in the ark (for the rich and wide)
There's no room in the ark (for the bound and tied)
There's no room in the ark, no room for you

Rinsing our hearts, see what is left
Spread over the earth this ocean of death
Here we are under the condemning spears
Here we are laughing and drowning in tears

There's no room in the ark (for the rich and wide)
There's no room in the ark (for the bound and tied)
There's no room in the ark, no room for you

And the rain comes pouring down

the walk

And if we can't stand here, we can always run
And if we can't stand here, we can always run

I don't want you thinking, that you're on your own
I don't want you drinking when you get home

And those friends you talk to, do they listen well
Are they really with you, is it hard to tell?

So I don't want you thinking, that you're on your own
But you know like I do there's no place called home

But I know we can find the time to do what should be done
So hold on tightly to the ticket and the gun

And if we can't stand here, we can always run
And if we can't stand here, we can always run

Finding time to move through the line the cue you are so fascinated to
I want to find, want to live above the lifeline
Holding you, do you want me to?
If you want the sun you know you've got to run

Come with me they're checking ID I can't see the mist is in me
I wanna hear what it is I wanna hear along with you do you want it too?
Have you got the gun come on now baby run

And if we can't stand here, we can always run

this love

Every day I see your face
Eyes are on, smile in place
Let me, let me, let me see your love

Every night I dream of it
Finding out what I want from it. This love
Let me, let me, let me see your love

This love you talk about,
This love that won't run out
Can't see this
This love you talk about,
This love that won't run out
Can't see this
Can't see this love

Can't you see, can't you hear
See the flames, smell the tears of love
Let me, let me, let me see your love

I believe in a velvet kiss
But I need convincing there's a need for this
This love
Let me, let me, let me see your love

This love you talk about,
This love that won't run out
Can't see this
This love you talk about,
This love that won't run out
Can't see this
Can't see this love

without a fight

Let us speak the truth for want of something else to do
I have hated you with so much love, you know it's true

In a windy world you cover up your senses tight
I am willing to sell everything I know is right

Let us speak the truth for want of something else to do
I am only good because I'm weak you know it's true

I have hidden in my head a thing of wonder and of pain
That would cut you to your bones if you were not the same

So raise the flag and set the sail
We're on our way tonight
Heading for what we deserve
Free of hope, without a fight

Let us speak the truth for want of something else to do
I have hated you with so much love, you know it's true

In a windy world you cover up your senses tight
I am willing to sell everything I know is right

So raise the flag and set the sail
We're on our way tonight
Heading for what we deserve
Free of hope, without a fight
