1.El Diablo En El Ojo
I wouldn't shut your eyes just yet
I wouldn't turn the lights down yet
'cos there's things you've gotta see here
There's things you've gotta believe of me
I wouldn't turn the sound down yet
Don't even touch the dials, not yet
'cos there's things you've gotta hear here
There's things you've gotta believe of me
I wouldn't say a word just yet
Don't even open your mouth, not yet
'cos there's things i've gotta say here
There's things you wanna hear from me
2.A Night In
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
The path that you led
Was straight to your bed
There's no cots to sleep in
And you showed me
Who i was running from
As if i had not known all along
Oh my old feet
They know this hard street
Stay like old friends
You're flat on the ground
There's no further down
There's no cots to sleep in
So come in
Leave them outside the door
Tear off the paper
Tear off the carpet
Off the floor
Chorus：
And i know you're hurting
And i can't be there for you
And i know you're hurting
And i can't be there no more
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had callouses, not sores
And i'd like to keep them
So go turn those sheets
Get back on the street
There's nothing more i can bring to you
They are scared of the door
Afraid of the floor
Well, i'll go and walk right through
And i'll show you
Who i've been running from
It's the feeling of waking
And it's gone
(chorus)
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had callouses, not sores
And i'd like to keep them
Oh now your feet
They know this hard street
They're like old friends
You're flat on the ground
There's no further down
There's no cots to sleep in
So come in
Leave them outside the door
Tear off the paper
Tear off the carpet
Off the floor
(chorus)
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had callouses, not sores
And i'd like to keep them
So go turn those sheets
Get back on the street
There's nothing more i can bring to you
They are scared of the door
Afraid of the floor
Well, i'll go and walk right through
And i'll show you
Who i've been running from
It's the feeling of waking
And it's gone
3.My Sister
Do you remember my sister？ how many mistakes did she make with
those never blinking eyes？ i couldn't work it out. i swear she
could read your mind, your life, the depths of your soul at one
glan
Aybe she was stripping herself away, saying
Here i am, this is me
I am yours and everything about me, everything you see...
If only you look hard enough
I never could.
Our life was a pillow-fight. we'd stand there on the quilt, our
hands clenched ready. her with her milky teeth, so late for her
age, and a stanley knife in her hand. she sliced the tyres on my
b
Nd i couldn't forgive her.
She went blind at the age of five. we'd stand at the bedroom
window and she'd get me to tell her what i saw. i'd describe the
houses opposite, the little patch of grass next to the path, the
gat
H its rotten hinges forever wedged open that dad was always
going to fix. she'd stand there quiet for a moment. i thought
she was trying to develop the images in her own head. then she'd
say：
I can see little twinkly stars,
Like christmas tree lights in faraway windows.
Rings of brightly coloured rocks
Floating around orange and mustard planets.
I can see huge tiger striped fishes
Chasing tiny blue and yellow dashes,
All tails and fins and bubbles.
I'd look at the grey house opposite, and close the curtains.
She burned down the house when she was ten. i was away camping
with the scouts. the fireman said she'd been smoking in bed -
the old story, i thought. the cat and our mum died in the
flames, so
Ook us to stay with our aunt in the country. he went back to
london to find us a new house. we never saw him again.
On her thirteenth birthday she fell down the well in our aunt's
garden and broke her head. she'd been drinking heavily. on her
recovery her sight returned, a fluke of nature everyone said.
that'
N she said she'd never blink again. i would tell her when she
started at me, with her eyes wide and watery, that they reminded
me of the well she fell into. she liked this, it made her laugh.
She moved in with a gym teacher when she was fifteen, all
muscles he was. he lost his job when it all came out, and
couldn't get another one. not in that kind of small town.
everybody knew every
Lse's business. my sister would hold her head high, though. she
said she was in love. they were together for five years until
one day he lost his temper. he hit over the back of the neck
with hi
Lworker. she lost the use of the right side of her body. he got
three years and was out in fifteen months. we saw him a while
later, he was coaching a non-league football team in a cornwall
seas
Own. i don't think he recognized her. my sister had put on a lot
of weight from being in a chair all the time. she'd get me to
stick pins and stub out cigarettes in her right hand. she'd
laugh l
Ad because it didn't hurt. her left hand was pretty good though.
we'd have arm wrestling matches, i'd have to use both arms and
she'd still beat me.
We buried her when she was 32. me and my aunt, the vicar, and
the man who dug the hole. she said she didn't want to be
cremated and wanted a cheap coffin so the worms could get to her
quickly. s
Id she liked the idea of it, though i thought it was because of
what happened to the cat, and our mum.
4.Tiny Tears
You've been lying in bed for a week now
Wondering how long it'll take
You haven't spoken or looked at her in all that time
It's the easiest line you could break
She's been going about her business as usual
Always with that melancholy smile
But you were too busy looking into your affairs
To see those tiny tears in her eyes
Tiny tears make up an ocean
Tiny tears make up a sea
Let them pour out, pour out all over
Don't let them pour all over me
How can you hurt someone so much your supposed to care for
Someone you said you'd always be there for
But when that water breaks you know you're gonna cry, cry
When those tears start rolling you'll be back
Tiny tears...
You've been thinking about the time, you've been dreading it
But now it seems that moment has arrived
She's at the edge of the bed, she gets in
But it's hard to turn the opposite way tonight
Tiny tears...
5.Snowy In F# Minor
Have you ever wondered what's inside that keeps us together？
Have you ever wanted to take that knife and discover？
Like cutting into a sack of grain
Going to watch our love run away
And look at each other
Sometimes it seems we're joined at our sides
It keeps us together
I like to think we're not along for the ride
But sometimes i wonder
So go and cut into that sack again
See if we're worth it anyway
And look at each other
Have you ever wondered what's inside that keeps us together？
Have you ever wanted to take that knife and discover？
So go and cut into that sack again
See if we're worth it anyway
And we're on different sides of the line
And we look at each other
There's trains apporaching from either side
Going to jump over those tracks for you
Go anywhere you're going to
I'm going with you
6.Seaweed
Would you prefer a stone
That i chose for you？
That lay on a beach
Was just a sea of stone
Wasn't meant for you
Jumped into my eyes
Choice of millions
Would you prefer a stone
From your window？
It walks through the streets
Feeling young and tense
The city had to swallow mine for you
'cos it's so much strain
Choice of only a few
Would you prefer a look
That was contrived？
I have no plans in my mind
Just kind of go
Go with you
A hello or a goodbye？
My mind is something i don't know
The truth, why should i lie？
Just kind of go
Go with you
7.Talk To Me
Talk to me darling
Before you throw it away
Look into these eyes now
Look into these eyes
If it's too far to fall
If it still makes you cry
You can't kill this love,
No you can't kill this love
You feel the rush in your arm
You see shadows form
You move forward slowly
To find nothing at all
In a hall of mirrors
You get sick of yourself
Think you can just leave the blade there
Sit and wait...
Chorus：
I know it's scary darling
It comes back from the dead
Climbs on out of the ground
Back into our bed
(repeat chorus)
So talk to me darling
Before you throw it away
Look into these eyes now
Look into these eyes
If it's too far to fall
If it still makes you cry
You can't kill this love,
No you can't kill this love
(chorus)
8.No More Affairs
There's no more affairs
No more fooling around
There's no more affairs
Are you going to find out？
If i tremble in your arms
If i sigh through your hair
This last affair
There's no more fooling around
There's no more affairs
Are you going to find out？
If my hand's by my side
If i avoid your stare
This last affair
There's no more affairs
No more fooling around
There's no more affairs
No more fooling around
There's no more affairs
Are you going to find out？
If i tremble in your arms
If i sigh through your hair
This last affair
This place in my mind
Where i know what's going on
But it grows, shifts in time
Leaves me hanging on
And though we were only having fun
It seems such a crime now
Go and play, play in the road
You're gonna get run down, run down
There's no more affairs
No more fooling around
There's no more affairs
Are you going to find out？
It's an impulsive thing
But we caught the other
Climbed into bed with all our previous lovers
It gets crowded in there
There's no more affairs
9.Travelling Light
(stuart; carla; both)
There are places i don't remember
There are times and days, they mean nothing to me
I've been looking through some of them old pictures
They don't serve to jog my memory
I'm not waking in the morning, staring at the walls these days
I'm not getting out the boxes, spread all over the floor
I've been looking through some of them old pictures
Those faces they mean nothing to me no more
Chorus：
I travel light
You travel light
Everything i've done
You say you can justify, mmm you travel light
I can't pick them out, i can't put them in these sad old bags
Some things you have to lose along the way
Times are hard, i'll only pick them out, wish i was going back
Times are good, you'll be glad you ran away
(chorus)
Do you remember, how much you loved me？
You say you have no room in that thick old head
Well it comes with the hurt and the guilt, and the memories
If i had to take them with me i would never get from my bed
There's a crack in the roof where the rain pours through
That's the place you always decide to sit
Yeah i know i'm there for hours, the water running down (my)
(your)face
Do you really think you keep it all that well hid？
No but i travel light
You don't travel light
Everything i've done
It's just a lie, you don't travel light
I'm travelling light
No you don't travel light
I'm travelling light
No, no, you don't travel light
I'm travelling light
You don't travel light
10.Cherry Blossoms
A black television screen
Snow white and black
Deep and open
Splashing against the windows
Looking out onto a three-terrace town
There's a garden, grey-green
And cherry blossoms
Get in in the morning (all seasons here, saved for a rainy day)
Climb in beside you (a part of a hole)
Watch the clock for half an hour (an orange and its peel)
It's cold on the outside
There's steam on the windows (a star in a night sky)
And i put myself there all the time (a gentle beauty)
You let me forget again
And i snore on and on
You let me forget again
Forget how it feels to be wrong
If i could show her completely (funny how everything makes you
feel low when you're already low)
But it comes so drunkardly now (lying on the bed, the lightbulb
banging down)
Fall over on my words (get up, pull the sheet from the window,
to see the rain still coming down)
That peace when the door slams (downstairs there's hot coffee,
sit down to a cigarette)
last)
I came so well-oiled (another and my last penny)
You let me forget again (4 a.m. 6 feet down. already up with the
larks)
And i came stumbling through
You let me forget again (4 a.m. 6 feet down. already up with the
larks)
Forget what i always knew
11.She's Gone
She's gone
And it's quiet now
Took her mother with her
Left town
Took her mother's eye
Stole her mother's heart
It's a compromise
We nurture that part and she's gone
Says she can walk now
Says she can walk now
Seen her walking
She totters and falls
And when i'm not looking
Leans onto the wall
And she'll hold on to me only when she wants
And she'll fall and be up again
It's part of the fun
But she's gone
Thinks she can walk now
Thinks she can walk now
Thinks she can walk
She's gone
And it's quiet now
Took her mother with her
Left town
Took her mother's eye
Stole her mother's heart
It's a compromise
We nurture that part and she's gone
And it's quiet now
Took her mother with her
Left town
12.Mistakes
Erreurs
Je sais que je les porterai toute ma vie
Mes erreurs
Comme de celle
Tu sais laquelle
Quand on a coup？mes cordes
Je me suis envol嶪 ailleurs
On a coup？mes cordes
Et je ne redescendais pas
Mistakes i've made
I know i'll live with them all my life
Mistakes i've made
Like the one
You know the one
And i had my strings cut
I went flying around
And i had my strings cut
I wasn't coming down
These days i'm only happy when i cannot move
These days i'm only happy when i'm tied down
Next to you
Not with my strings cut
When i'm flying around
Not with my strings cut
When i'm not coming down
Mistakes i've made
I know i'll live with them all my life
Mistakes i've made
Like the one
You know the one
And i had my strings cut
I went flying around
And i had my strings cut
I wasn't coming down
13.Sleep Song
Tell me
I can think right
Am i going home tonight
Or staying here？
Turn over
Turn out the light
I'm going home tonight
Not staying here
If you let me sleep
I would wake up
I haven't closed my eyes for days
Sleep
I would wake up
I haven't closed my eyes
Tell me
I can think right
I'm going home tonight
Not staying here
Turn over
Turn out the light
I'm going home tonight
Not staying here
If you let me sleep
I would wake up
I haven't closed my eyes for days
Sleep
I would wake up
I haven't closed my eyes
