Lyrics

Well this morning is golden
And the garden is full of roses
But we’re all in the same sinking boat

They say it’s the hope that gets you
If your eyes could see what mine have seen
This ruined life and a distant shore

Watch the wall my darling
Walk on shadows as I’m holding up the sky
The best is yet to come
The light it shines from the smallest window

Now it’s raining and colder
And all of the flags and fire
Tell me that it’s only just begun

There’s never a witness
From Autumn to Winter I forget
I speak in the past tense all the time

Watch the wall my darling
Walk on shadows as I’m holding up the sky
The best is yet to come
The light it shines from the smallest window

Lyrics

You, me, sex, chocolate, Stars & Dust
All I see is sky, all I feel is pain
I saw the second coming on a greyhound bus
I asked Jesus are you going my way

Truth, weeds, desert, truck stops, lemonade
A coffee shop prophet stops to ask the time
A thousand rockets scar a dark and moonless night
I can only see you when I close my eyes

Make a wish, but the thing of it is
Hope won't make a difference
Anymore, anymore

I can pray or I can sin
Love the prison I am in
Hope alone won't make it so
I'm just pissing in the wind

Lipstick, cigarettes, sweat, dusk and after shave,
Sun baked, haven't shaved
You call and I will raise
What you believe, it makes others bleed
I'm begging please, it doesn't have to be this way

The car mechanic’s lotus blossom, Buddha gaze
Small town, street lights, bar fights and the fair parade
I've seen it all and you have more?
Stand up and applaud this masquerade

Make a wish, but the thing of it is
Hope won't make a difference
Anymore, anymore

I can pray or I can sin
Love the prison I am in
Hope alone won't make it so
I'm just pissing in the wind

I can drink a toast to my well wishers
Salute the martyrs loaves and fishes
Feed 5,000 and do the dishes
Receive the beatings and the kisses

Tomorrow's past, tomorrow's present
A glimpse of hell, a taste of heaven
Roll snake eyes or lucky seven
Don't ask me I'd be sorely tempted

Lyrics

If you don't have a reason
And your clothes aren't in season
You're an outcast
So you're standing here freezing
Cos it's so much colder outside

When you lift up the veil 
On the failure that's haunted your lifetime
It's a cold wind that blows
When nobody knows you are there

Scars and stripes, scars and stripes
A thousand, a thousand nights
Now that you know it doesn't make it alright

If you can't stop the bleeding or feeling
I'll throw you a lifeline
So instead of you asking
I'll just keep on grasping at straws

And the smiles that they wear
They prepare your despair
For the last time
Though they say that they care
You can't help feeling ignored

Scars and stripes,scars and stripes
A thousand, a thousand nights
Now that you know it Doesn't make it alright

The scars and stripes have made them blind
Walk away they're never kind
Don't ask them to ever feel
The don't see wounds that never heal
The scars and stripes have made them blind
Walk away they're never kind
Don't ask them to ever feel
The don't see wounds that never heal

Scars and stripes,scars and stripes
A thousand, a thousand nights
Now that you know it Doesn't make it alright
Now that you know it Doesn't make it alright
Now that you know it Doesn't make it alright
Now that you know it Doesn't make it alright

What happened to forever
What happened to today
You're looking at the weather
They say it's going to rain

And the sunshine we were promised
Never showed its face
We'll be eating jam tomorrow
And eating cake today

You never stopped
To ask me what I thought
Of the place where fear and sadness go
You wear it well it doesn't show
Me I pretend
Not to know

Rise and fall. Good or evil it is yours
Your dreams too small of course, of course
Rise and fall. Good or evil it is yours
Your dreams too small of course, of course

I'm searching for a metaphor
That's as worn out as your shoes
You can take the long and winding road
If that's the one you choose

You're old enough to understand
But hope it's not too late
All you want is you want it know
But they just make you wait

You never stopped
To ask me what I thought
Of the place where fear and sadness go
You wear it well
it doesn't show
Me I pretend
Not to know

Rise and fall. Good or evil it is yours
Your dreams too small of course, of course
Rise and fall. Good or evil it is yours
Your dreams too small of course, of course

Frankie, uncle Charlie Katie
Tell me what has happened lately
You say yes but you mean maybe
I need promises now

And your sister has she had her
baby ?
Your brother is he still in the navy?
And grandma I still call her daily to see how she's
getting on

Rita is what people say she is
Don't believe them
People read the papers read the lines
No what's between them
There's grey between 
The lines of black and white
If you can see them
Listen close and close your eyes real tight 
You'll hear them screaming

It's the great malaise
How did we come to days like these
Cut yourself and you will bleed 
This is the good life
The washing's blowing on the line
Pretend that you're not dead inside
When London bites who lights
A fire in the Summer

I'm more scared than I used to be
Because the black wore thin and very bad things
The tailspin and the diamond eye
21 years, we're all potential virgin brides
It's a wonderful thing

Two minutes hate 5 minutes late
Not a penny between us
Seems like forever feels like yesterday
They won't believe us
The hollow rain that falls on our parade
But no one sees us
Bending down and falling on our knees
Like old believers

It's the great malaise
How did we come to days like these
Cut yourself and you will bleed 
This is the good life
The washing's blowing on the line
Pretend that you're not dead inside
When London bites who lights
A fire in the Summer
