I woke up from my dream to a figure standing before me
brought to life by the light of the full moon outside
i stepped out of the sandstone structure i was sleeping in
but he fades back to earth with a message that i hear so clear
i hear mother say

help me
hear me
heal me
don’t leave me to die
see me
feel me
love me
i gave you life

now the pockets of those that don’t see straight are lined with their profits
claiming them to win
to be fit to survive
yeah
your coins fast becoming natural selection
are we killing our soul
oh for a shot a better say
and i hear mother say

I gave you life
And don’t leave us here
stuck here alone without no one to answer when we call home
Why are we here? Living in fear of our very own soul

I stopped believing
When i was young
That i’d find you
I started pretending that
Love was a myth from a book
I was so sure i was destined to live my life waving
Goodbye to the ones that tried their hand
At loving me

Now i’ve played several roles
In the comedy that i’ve been living
The angel, the healer, the pauper
The dancer
The fool
And your love was fire
That turned all of those masks into ashes
While you held the actress whose face was all covered in soot

Be free your love is like water
It changes but it never stops
Be free you love is like water
It changes
But it never stops

Now and again i still think about all of the loving
That i could of had if you’d only just come around then
But that’s not the way that we can play our games
Pretty darling
Cos the past is a wall built from heaven
Down to all of our sins

Be free your love is like water
It changes but it never stops
Be free you love is like water
It changes

But it never stops

Be free your love is like music
It changes but it never stops
Be free you love is like music
It changes
But it never stops

It must have been
Friday again
I’m stuck imagining
I don’t have to ride the tube alone again
Cross from me
Lovers staring deeply
Searching for
What they hope will make them whole again

Only lovers
On the late night tube
Only lovers on the late night tube

Friday became
Old thoughts of you
Passing through the station lights
oh your eyes Oyster blue
It’s easy now your train has left the station
To believe in lovers lines being blurred
But this city holds me tight
And I’m fine tonight

Only lovers
On the late night tube
Only lovers on the late night tube

 

Georgia where you going this time?
called by the earth
lead by design
to a space that needs your light
to the call of the wild
she said i want to feel the red earth on thys
feel the dust roll the hills towards my eyes
collect the bones congregate under these skies
oh my delight

Georgia just hear me out
Georgia don’t scream about it
Life is coming on down to mexico
Paint me charcoal grey
Paint me new york days
Sinestesia life in your own way

The west winds often blow your notes my way
Collections of thoughts that blow the common man away
But we’re not common men baby
We see things differently

letters are a lovers game
letters are a lovers game
letters are a lovers game

Come back to me oh don’t worry
Where are you going off in a hurry
Tonight is all i want

I’m sorry that i was spiteful
And often made jokes at your cost
‘Cos i don’t believe that i ever meant say those words

Oh it’s gunna take time
To trust in a love that divine
Oh it’s gunna take a long lot of travelling
Over some hills and past the horizon
To forget this love

I wrote some angry words out
On my iphones notepad
Oh baby 6 hours of furiously typing away
Only to delete what i said
Accidentally

Oh It’s gunna take time
To believe in a love that divine
Oh it’s gunna take a long
Long of travelling
Over the hills and past the horizon
To forget your love

Oh i guess that thee words weren’t meant for you
Oh i guess these words weren’t meant for you
Oh and i guess that all that left
Is thank you

Sugar i’m still loving all your ways
Even from across these waves

I wanna be mad at the way you left me
But i’m still groovin’ always
I’m groovin’ always

Blacked out the other night and came to in the middle of a crowd
And i was spewing my guts out cos it it hit me 3 months later
Down and out
You’re not coming around
To save me
To save me

Baby it’s a shame
Will i ever be loved again?
Tell myself my name
But still don’t recognise this pain

Go on and take
Go on and take your love back
‘Cos i don’t need that kind of loving in my life
Go on and take your love back
I don’t need that

Baby it’s a shame
(shame shame shame shame shame)
Will i ever be loved again?
(shame shame shame shame shame)
Tell myself my name
(name name name name name)
But still don’t recognise this pain

Baby it’s a shame
Will i ever be loved again?

Shake me again
In the arms of your love baby
Tell me again
Wheres my future when it’s humming a song of yours
In my head
I don’t know how to relieve this
Around and around again
(thats what you get when you fall in love with a wandering woman)

Oh i wanna pretend
That loving you was easy
Oh i’m still living for then
And know thats not easy for me
(thats what you get when you fall in love with a wandering woman)

You, you know
All my red hot affection was only for you
But that was still not enough
To keep you from feeling the could
My sun
It’s tough
Being confused about success and love

Oh i wanna pretend
That loving was easy
Oh i’m still living for then
You should know that not easy

(thats what you get when you fall in love with a wandering woman)
Too late
Too late
Too late
Too late now
But i’m still in love

(thats what you get when you fall in love with a wandering woman)
Too late
Too late
Too late
Too late now
But fallin’ out of love

(thats what you get when you fall in love with a wandering woman)
Too late
Too late
Too late
Too late now
But i’m still in love

(thats what you get when you fall in love with a wandering woman)
Too late
Too late
Too late
Too late now
But fallin’ out of love

(thats what you get when you fall in love with a wandering woman)
Too late
Too late
Too late
Too late now
But i’m still in love

How many times did you tell me you loved her?
But i just let it slide away
How many nights did i think about her
Is she the one that got away?

I’m just a slip and slide
For any emotional feelings
Oh baby i’m a slip and slide
For the way that i’m perceiving this

Tell me baby
Is it nice to have your head buried in books
Instead of my legs
And tell me honey
Does it feel good?
To be working 9-5 again
Instead of being up in my bed
Or should i say
The bed your mumma bought us when she visited
Do you remember when you visited for 2 years then let like a fucking tourist?

I’m just a slip and slide
For any emotional feelings
Oh baby i’m a slip and slide
For the way that i’m perceiving this

Lessons you taught me
Like tattoos on my body
The way that you loved me
It wasn’t easy

I will learn to
Love my body
And also when i see my family
I’ll try not to be angry
‘Cos they remind me of me

And so i stand on the street
At a quarter to three in the morning
Listening to Augustine
And Dancing
But chewing my insides
And dancing
Under the light of the moon
Oh I
I wanna be big and yellow
I wanna be big and yellow
I wanna be big and yellow
I wanna be big and yellow
I want to be big and yellow

Goodbye and thank you
I’ll see you and miss you
Oh it’s the end of a very long day

All that i know now
Is how to play this guitar and smoke a lot
And stay up late
Thinking how i felt

I’m seeing new men
But it’s all just pretend
I thought that was only on account of me
But i found out they’re faking
And claiming we’re not dating
I’m sorry that just too close to the bone for me

Just before you go
Jumping through loopholes
Say again
Will you save some fo the scraps of this love?
Cos’ i’m like and old dog
I won’t ever give up
On a friend that cared so much (for me)

All of these sad songs
They’re reconciling our wrongs
In ways
I’m still yet to see
