Dreamlife 1 (Hewerdine / MacColl)
In my dreamlife
In my dreamlife
It's the last day of August and you're running across Kenzie fields
With something to tell me - something good
In my dreamlife
In my dreamlife
We're sitting in the back of you brother's car
Smoking black and inventing America
In my dreamlife
In my dreamlife
You've got a scar just above your right eye
And it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
In my dreamlife
In my dreamlife
I'm so glad I know you
Sometimes it's like living with a box of stars
Imagine me and you
Standing in the garden side by side
Imagine me and you
But I know it will never happen that way
I know it never happens that way
'Cos if you turn around now
You're going to blow me atom from atom
In my dreamlife
In my dreamlife
In my dreamlife
In my dreamlife
In my dreamlife (my dreamlife)
In my dreamlife (my dreamlife)
In my dreamlife (my dreamlife)
In my dreamlife
Mosquito (Hewerdine)
You only come here
when you've nowhere else to go
you only call me when he doesn't want to know
You're dragging me, dragging me
You're dragging me, dragging me
get out of my life
Mosquito
You only call me
when there's something you need to know
you only touch me to let this sex thing go
You're dragging me, dragging me
You're dragging me, dragging me
get out of my life
Mosquito
Everybody knows the shape of love
the way it moves against the skin
Everybody knows the shape of love
Mosquito
(oh yeah)
when there's nowhere else to go
you only want me when he doesn't want to know
You're dragging me, dragging me
You're dragging me, dragging me
You're dragging me, dragging me
You're dragging me, dragging me
get out of my life

Buzz Aldrin (Hewerdine / Shepherd)
People will live and laugh and die
on the big blue eye winking in the sky
I can jump as high as an eagle flies
I'm moondust coming down
I took a little something to get through the day
Now I'm the happiest boy that you've ever seen
I want you here right now
I miss you like nicotine
When I married you Jennifer
Well I said I'd go far
And Jenny I know we'd have a fine time tonight
And Jenny I know we'd have a fine time
Jenny, tonight
Up here the time is slow and life is strange
Up here it's cold the seasons never change
If you hold out your arms
I'll cover you
If you hold out your arms
I'll cover you Jenny, tonight
I see you everywhere I turn
I can't keep my mind on what I ought to do
I want to come to pieces in your hand
I want to do the same for you
When I married you Jennifer
Well I said I'd go far
Didn't I tell you I'd go far?
Jenny I know Jenny I know we'd have a fine time tonight
Jenny I know we'd have the finest time
Jenny, tonight
If you hold out your arms
I'll cover you
If you hold out your arms
I'll cover you Jenny tonight
I Miss You (Sha La La) (Hewerdine)
You came to visit me
on the second floor
in your girlfriend's coat
and the film we saw
your black dog
your motor cycle
I can still hear that sound
Well I miss you
I miss myself too
Sleeping in the park
And what your brother said
Banging on the wall
and the stuff we read
the taste of sugar on your tongue
that's a precious thing
Well I miss you
I miss myself too
I know I can't go back
I know those days are gone
But how did time forget
It was its favourite son
You give in
You let go
You get to lazy to care
Well I miss you
I miss myself too
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
You came to visit me
on the second floor
I didn't know why then
but now I know what for
wondering how we're going to die
talking Spanish to the sky
I miss you
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la-la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la-la la la la
Sha la-la la la la
Well, I miss you
Well, I miss you
Firedogs (Hewerdine / Shepherd / Clark)
Firedogs fill the sky
We can watch them born and burn and die
Firedogs fill the sky
We can watch them born and burn and die
There is another world
There is another world
The girl I saw on a train
Who I know I will never see again
Turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes and let the colours run
That was another life
That was another life
Fly buzz in my room
Think I'll stay here 'til the summer's through
Bruises, fear, hope and scars
These are things as old as light from stars
There was another time
There was another time
As old as light from stars
As old as light from stars
As old as light from
Firedogs in the sky
Firedogs in the sky
I see firedogs in the sky
In the sky
First Day In Hell (Hewerdine)
A girl who saw a murder from a train
she said I'm never going to sleep with the lights off again
well if that's what's gonna be
that's what's gonna be
Oh well
nothing to tell
you keep your head down
your first day in hell
Oh well
nothing to tell
you keep your head down
your first day in hell
Jesus come down and say just what you do
we say put a monkey on the moon
well if that's the best there is
if that's the best there is
Oh well
nothing to tell
you keep your head down
your first day in hell
Oh well
nothing to tell
you keep your head down
your first day in hell
Sometimes when you're with me I can see
your life would be better without me
well if that's what's going down
if that's what's going down
Oh well
nothing to tell
you keep your head down
your first day in hell
Oh well
nothing to tell
you keep your head down
your first day in hell
Oh well
nothing to tell
you keep your head down
your first day in hell
first day in hell
first day in hell
first day in hell
Explaining Love To Aliens (Hewerdine / Bible)
Drunk on a beach on altar wine
If I am yours why aren't you mine?
And you laughed and said
"Sometimes with you,
explaining love to aliens would be easier"
A fat boy cries himself awake
he nearly made a big mistake
And you laughed and said
"Sometimes with you,
explaining love to aliens would be easier"
but I didn't understand
I can't believe the mess I made of my life
I can't believe the mess I made of my life (mess of my life)
Where are they now,
my finest days?
I blew them in a diazepam haze
And you laughed at me and said
"Sometimes explaining love to aliens (explaining love) would be easier"
(explaining love)
explaining love
(explaining love
explaining love)
explaining love
(explaining love
explaining love)
explaining love
(explaining love
explaining love)
explaining love
(explaining love
explaining love)
explaining love
(explaining love
explaining love)
explaining love
Auctioneers (The Bible)
The underground feels like the barrel of a gun
You're about to do something that you've never done
Well you might have some pride
but that soon disappears
when you're under the hammer of auctioneers
Oh...
.
Now she sleeps with her face to the wall
She can't remember how she got here at all
And boy, if you're fast, you can sometimes sell tears
They come under the hammer of auctioneers
Oh....
Under the hammer
Oh...
Under the hammer
Somebody said that I'd better act dumb
Cos if don't then I'd get some
And life goes wrong and nobody hears
When you're under the hammer of auctioneers
And life goes wrong and nobody hears
When you're under the hammer of auctioneers
Oh.....
Oh.....
Under the hammer
Under the hammer, yeah
Under the hammer
Under the hammer, yeah
Mmmmm...
Under the hammer
Under the hammer, yeah
Under the hammer
Under the hammer, yeah
Under the hammer
Under the hammer, yeah
Junk (Hewerdine / Clark)
The junk we use to get through our lives
Each slight return
Each vague surprise
I've seen them come
I've seen them go
Until there's nothing left to show
"Come down" she said, "No-one need know"
"Come down" she said, "Who'll know?"
The junk we use to get through our lives
Each broken smile
Each cheap disguise
I've seen them grow
Get cut down tall
From hopeful step
To insect crawl
"Come down" she said, "You'll only fall"
"Come down", she said, "You'll fall"
Standing in a corner
Waiting for my life to begin
Holding out my hands
Praying for my life to begin
But I'm not proud
And I don't mind
I'll use anything
That I can find
Standing in a corner
Waiting for my life to begin
Holding out my hands
Begging for my life to begin
But I'm not proud
And I don't mind
I'll use anything
That I can find
The junk we use to get through
