We come and rise again
Shake off the chains of sleep that dreams again
And again
Hold back their hands
(Hold back their hands)
Hold back their tiny plan
(Hold back their tiny plan)
When your days are glowing
They seem to fade away
And again
Away, away
Was your first all right?
O? when you were down
(When you were down)
When you were down
(When you were down)
To sleep
(To sleep)
Some chance to dream
Some life or
Into your days of pain again, and again
Oh hold back my smile
(Hold back my smile)
In hate it runs a mile
(Runs a mile)
When fortune is cruel
Her smiles take me for a fool
And again
Away, away
Was your first all right?
When you were down
(When you were down)
When you were down
(When you were down)
When you were down
(When you were down)
O? when you were down
(When you were down)
A calm love for two
A moment in dream
A calm life for two
Away, away
Was your first all right?
When you were down
(When you were down)
When you were down
(When you were down)
When you were down
(When you were down)
When you were down
(When you were down)
O? when you were down
(When you were down)
O? when you were down
(When you were down)
O? when you were down
(When you were down)
O? when you were down
(When you were down)
Different Lies
(Colin Vearncombe)
Getting older
Wearing loss-fit
No more dreaming of the prize
You give it all up
The only thing still growing
Is your size
The find by glasses
Groaning like the icepack after dawn
I will lay me down to rest
Lay me down to sleep
To lay my sole in spirit soil
It knows that there?s a place that it can hide
If each of us is living different lies
When you were younger
Believing lies
The things you said were always true
?Cause you were younger
You take up the slack
The sorry lines they feed to you
When you?re going nowhere
Know that any road will take you there
I will lay me down to rest
Lay me down to sleep
To lay my sole in spirit soil
It knows that there?s a place that it can hide
If each of us is living different lies
Different lies
Confined to wanting
Clinging onto things
You know you should not have
They?re coming smaller
Shrinking down inside the guts
You didn?t have
Confined to wishing
Wishing on a star that died a million years ago
I will lay me down to rest
Lay me down to sleep
To lay my sole in spirit soil
It knows that there?s a place that it can hide
If each of us is living different lies
Different lies
Different lies
Don?t Deny A Miracle
(Vearncombe & Dickie)
That mad man must be crazy
He took my word as gospel
He pushed my skin
To see if it was stable
I would have laid my heart upon the table
So make her handle it
Don?t deny a miracle
Your last chance
At the tundra tree
Build around light
Ask to keep it warm and ready to eat
Sparks will fly
But I couldn?t give a damn right now
Don?t deny a miracle
They missed this certain paradise
It would have given them the power
Instead their ship?s dare to leave
They?ve opened these clouds above us
I touched the stars
Because they sing to me
Sad, sad song of creation
Don?t let them tell you that I told you so
Don?t let me hear you say you had to
And above all
Don?t deny a miracle
Don?t deny a miracle
They missed this certain paradise
It would have given them the power
Instead their ship?s dare to leave
They?ve opened these clouds above us
Don?t deny a miracle
Don?t deny a miracle
