I Grant You
When we were young and you pretended You were almost bothered as me Does it make you sad? Almost sorry as me? When we were young and you pretended That the world was ours - how we see Does it make you sad? And make you sorry? Almost sorry as me I grant you Time can make a fool of all of us These words once mine - hang on, hang on And yet they don't belong Mmm. They don't belong Now we get old and you've defended All the world as it likes to be Does it make you sad? Does it make you sorry? Almost sorry for me Can you get lost inside a feeling? Does you almost feel for me? Does it make you sad? And make you sorry? Almost sorry for me? I grant you Shine and scare the fool inside of us These words once mine drag on, drag on And yet they do belong Mmm. They do belong When we were young - and you were grounded Didn't you ever want to go free Soes it make you sad? And make you sorry? You're not a fool like me When we were young - and we were running Didn't you ever want to run free? Didn't it make you sad? And make you sorry? To wander whio you are I grant you are I grant you

Can you Tell me? Can you see it? My eyes dreamt it My eyes sent it a thousand pieces 'Course I love it It makes me cold Amongst the ashes Drinking the rainbow Can you tell me? How to turn? The very feelings, the very feelingd That make me burn The very music I have heard Inside your heart To drink the rainbow - I try very hard To drink the rainbow - I try very hard You should want me To take along The very seasons, the very seasons I've waited on The very music I have heard Inside your heart To drink the rainbow I try very hard To drink the rainbow I try very hard Can you show me? Where it leads? The very feelings, the very feelings That make me bleed The very music I have heard Inside your heart To drink the rainbow - I try very hard To drink the rainbow - I try very hard To drink the rainbow - I try very hard

Hot Stones
Beat up English In a beat up town And I'm beat up black and blue Oh, I do not have the energy And I'm beat up street And I'm beat up tight And we've been so drawn together, each other I do not have the energy And wisdom Trip over again Wisdom Trip over again You beat it Stepping stones Or standing up I'm shivering on stones Hot stones In a wipe down England With it's worn out grace With a picture postcard, baby, hallelujah I love your face In a wise up England To a wake up place Oh, I do not like the way you shower me No, I do not like the way you shower me And I do not have the energy In a beat up England With a beat up face It's a why oh why did I ever get lost in this? It's the tired old hands Come to tire me out And the tired old hands They yearn to shout But I do not have the energy

The Way That I Want You
We're not talking I'm not talking sensibly enough You know the soul of a man is many coloured Soul of a man one to another Wants you another day I'm not wishing on a star Talk The soul of a man is many coloured Soul of a man wants you another Another day From the airport To be by your side From a reading And that's the one That hurts my pride From the church yard Into your trust To the talk That we must, we must rekindle To the way I want you To the way I don't want Nothing from you Nothing from you Nothing from you You know the soul of is man is many coloured Soul of a man is many coloured The soul of a man one to another Want you another day
