ROOTS OF LOVE
If the silence doesn't kill you then the moonlight will you're
starin' at the sky but the moon isn't gonna pay our bills and
we're laughin' 'bout it loud but oh you know it ain't no joke
see them cake the roads with glitter trade your dreams for smoke
There's teardrops in the treetops the wind is whistling through
the mountain's teeth a song for every wounded dove and we're
out further than the razor's edge going down down to the roots
of love And its rainin' in my kitchen a storm in my front room
the instructions don't say nothing just desire consume and the
stars are falling right into my eye might be built out of stand
but maybe baby it's paradise There's teardrops in the treetops
the wind is whistling through the mountain's teeth a song for
every wounded dove and we're out further than the razor's edge
going down down to the roots goind down down to the roots goind
down down to the roots of love na na na na...

MIGHTY WRONG TIME
Losing my sense of direction losing my nerve losing my faith
in change, in the god that i serve just a regular regular person
with regular dreams sparks in the forehead now and feeling my
blood scream in a mighty wrong time in a mighty wrong time fill
a room full of starving children luminous hope beaming live
via satellite to a million homes what to do with this sense
of proportion to do with my eyes eyes and my forehead now feeling
the blue skies in a mighty wrong time in a mighty wrong time
in a mighty wrong time in a mighty wrong time sucking sucking
on sympathy cigarettes feeding my face turning my back each
day on anything I can't face what to do with these streets where
i'm walking wrong in my soul fire burning everywhere, spinning
out of control mighty wrong time images pouring voices unclear
misty morning, there you go darling blood of ? music pumping,
crowd all around me grinning from ear to ear invisible tears
why in a mighty wrong time in a mighty wrong time in a mighty
wrong time in a mighty wrong time Aluminium feminine compact
fits in my head give me confidence softness lets me feel what
i really am staring up at these women all shining twenty feet
tall understand they're not on earth but wanting it all in a
mighty wrong time you better believe it in a mighty wrong time
in a mighty wrong time in a mighty wrong time na na na in a
mighty wrong time in a mighty wrong time in a mighty wrong time
na na na na na mighty wrong time mighty wrong
MONDAY MORNING
No, can't make it on my own, in this life I try to hold it
but it's gone, too fast this life, I put my hand upon my heart
well I don't know where to start wasting all my time (my time)
Lipstick mark or nicotine all the things that might have been
Monday morning falling down on this life Blind, so stupid didn't
see with my eyes this love so bright and full of me your face
your face, i put my hand upon my heart girl i don't know where
to start, missing all my friends (my friends) a hundred miles
from anywhere sadness creeping in my hair Monday morning falling
down na na na na na oh yeah oh yeah I put my hand upon my head
what's to say it's all been said nothing in my mind (my mind)
twenty pound and fifteen pence down in the park the ambulance
Monday morning falling down on this life on this life on this
life on this life can't make it on my own in this life can't
make it on my own in this life can't make it on my own in this
life na na na na na oh yeah na na na na na oh yeah oh yeah na
na na na na What Should it Matter? What should it matter if
the sun don't rise It's midnight forever in my Janie's eyes
And what should it matter if the curves don't spring when I'm
finding winter in everything I live in this cold wind city all
my life walking around still looks the same same people coming
and going, doesn't feel right see it all now so far away What
should it matter if the earth may slide sky break in pieces
and stars collide the littlest sense left in this world of ours
my Janie took with her in the wee small hours I live in this
cold wind city all my life walking around still looks the same
same people coming and going, doesn't feel right watch it all
now so far away I live in this cold wind city all my life walking
around still looks the same still looks the same same people
coming and going, doesn't feel right see it all now so far away
so far And all of the wisdom I held so high shining and useless
as this April sky the littlest sense left in this world of ours
my Janie took with her in the wee small hours my Janie took
with her in the wee small hours now i'm finding winter in everything
THE LONGEST TIME
I finally belong The lonely night is gone I won't forget it
And all the love you show I gotta let you know You won't regret
it Now you're in my heart We'll never be apart No-o-o And it
might take the longest time Til we're finding the rainbow's
end But it don't matter rain or shine If we're finding the rainbow
... Free the love that's burning in my soul The thorn was in
my side In loneliness I cried: "Hey, I'm in trouble! I'm
punching at the walls They're laughing as I fall Seeing double"
But now you're in my heart We'll never be apart No-o-o And it
might take the longest time Til we're finding the rainbow's
end But it don't matter rain or shine If we're finding the rainbow
... Free the love that's burning in my soul (x3) ... in my soul
Free the love that's burning in my soul (x3) ... in my soul
