Track Lyrics
Someone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ruby says she does not dream
She says she's seen it all before
Outside the night is cold and wet
Don't know if we can take much more
Is there someone?
Someone?
[Chorus]
She says:
Someone is calling
Someone is calling for me
She says:
I got some feelings so different
No one else can see
She says
She says
[Verse 2]
Streets are empty every day
No longer can you see the sun
You're running home before the morning light
There is a new age that has just begun
Is there someone?
Someone?
[Chorus]
Pleasantly Disturbed Lyrics
2 ContributorsPleasantly Disturbed LyricsBlack lines call out from his face
Oh his heart beats staccato pace
She says he's not killing time
I just don't want him for no friend of mine
Meanwhile Susan goes out all alone
So many reasons but they're not all her own
Bend till you break
Scream if you must
Someone's in her room
Someone she don't trust
Can you see me I'm in the lukewarm rain
Try so very hard
You know I just can't explain
Think of a colour
Tell me what you see
That colour's red
You can take it from me
Take it from me
Take it from me
I've seen the streetlights
Shine on the underground
I've heard the dead fight
When there's no other sound
I've seen the streetlights
Shine on the underground
I've heard the dead fight
When there's no other sound
Streetlight
Streetlight
Streetlight
Streetlight Sweetlight
No Cure Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see them walking
You know they're walking at night
Ohh in the dark you know
They're shining out so bright
Your sarky voices are gonna come on so near
As every picture becomes so clear
[Bridge]
You
You come on so sharp
Yet be so nice
Tell me that you're so hot
But you're as cold as ice
[Chorus]
There is no cure
You're so blind can't you see?
There is no cure
Can't buy no immunity
There is no cure
So keep your evil from me
There is no cure
[Verse 2]
They like to stay
Ooh come on
Come on and stay up so late
You gonna talk of all the things you just wanna hate
You wanna come on
Come on
And make me so mad
Inside your heart
I know it feels so bad
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Come on and do it
Just what to do it
They're going to do it
Just want to do it
There is no cure
Chelsea Girl Lyrics
5 ContributorsChelsea Girl LyricsAnd now the sound of time is passing fast
It's getting late, don't know if I can take much more
The way you talk I often wondered
If I heard the words somewhere, someplace before
I got so nervous when I called and found that lately
You had gone and changed your name
But I've got something on my mind
I want you here, I want you now
You'd better explain
Is it true you're running round now
Is it true they're calling you the Chelsea Girl
Is it true you're running round now
Is it true they're calling you the Chelsea Girl
Your best friend never calls you up but you don't mind
'Cause lately things are all the same
Ain't it strange how people always seem to know your face
But just don't know your name
Well, I don't care there's no-one there
That even turned around and say get out of this place
Last night I saw a shooting star
When morning comes she hides away
A real disgrace
Is it true you're running round now
Is it true they're calling you the Chelsea Girl
Is it true you're running round now
Is it true they're calling you the Chelsea Girl
Oh, Chelsea Girl
You have got me caught up in a whirl
I want you here now, Chelsea Girl
You have got me caught up in a whirl
I want you here now, Chelsea Girl
Wasteland Lyrics
2 ContributorsWasteland LyricsCan you see us now we're on our own
And every chance has just come and just gone
Now it looks so dark and so cold
Think of the minds we sold
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
I can remember things that looked so bright
And I could talk to you without all this spite
Can you picture all that's past
Does your face deform so fast
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
`Cause when I stop and look into your head
I think of all the things that you said
When I look up into your eyes
I see the creature that I despise
Kill now
Kill now
Kill now
Kill now
Can you see us now we're on our own
And every chance has just come and gone
I've been wrong but you've been unkind
There's so much more that I can't find
Wasteland
Wasteland
Wasteland
Destiny Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look at the world outside
Beware its evil tide
Too many endless days
Cold streets and alleyways
The poor come crawling out
They speak but never shout
I think you'd rather be alone
You're hiding in a shell
So easy I can tell
Can you sell me some thoughts
Though drugs just can't be bought
Tell me is it some crime
To wait a long time
I think you'd rather be alone
[Chorus]
Can you hear me
Can you see
I don't want this destiny
To be destined
Destiny
[Verse 2]
Something's been happening here
Don't touch
Don't come so near
Don't ask me to reply
Can't think of no more lies
The hand thats reaches out
Can crush without a doubt
I think you'd rather be alone
Oh much is left unexplained
It's getting to my brain
Yet still you wear that smile
Then walk your crooked mile
Some day you're bound to learn
Too late
There's no return
I think you'd rather be alone
[Chorus]
