Echobelly's Dark Therapy

ON Lyrics

Car Fiction in a taxi chasing for the sun
all around are strangers, everyone
with no hope what they hail for
we could drive all of our tears away
oh run run away
maybe we could run away
oh run run away
maybe we could run away
ohh

in a taxi ride that ends too soon
the city skyline tries to kick the moon
we've no time for what they wait for
we could drive all of our tears away

oh run run away
maybe we could run away
oh run run away
maybe we could run away
ohh

you and i against the walled-in generation
you and i could kick the walls away
we've no time for
what they wait for
we could run far
we could run far

oh run run away
maybe we could run away
oh run run away
maybe we could run away
oh run run away
maybe we could run away
oh run run away
maybe we could run away
ohh

King Of The Kerb sugar-smiled, savvy the king of the kerb
got a temper in the style of a bomb
got his friends in his pocket or safe behind bars
all the local boys know what he's done

he turns it on
he turns it on
he turns it on

same boys doing it by themselves
there's somebody out there doing it for you
safe while you're paying out for your health
they're the kings of the curb
and everybody knows what they're worth

sugar-smiled, savvy the king of the kerb
keeps the order in this part of the town
all the shadows in the alley, the shapes at the bar
like to service him when he does the rounds

he turns it on
he turns it on
he turns it on

same boys doing it by themselves
there's somebody out there doing it for you
safe while you're paying out for your health
they're the kings of the curb
and everybody knows what they're worth

safe from harm and safe from greed
a little protection's all that you need
safe from harm and safe from greed
they're just a racket machine

same boys doing it by themselves
there's somebody out there doing it for you

same boys doing it by themselves
there's somebody out there doing it for you

same boys doing it by themselves
there's somebody out there looking out for you

safe while you're paying out for your health
they're the kings of the curb
they're the kings of the curb
they're the kings of the curb
and everybody knows what they're worth

la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la

Great Things i wanna do great things
i don't wanna compromise
i wanna know what love is
i wanna know everything

i wanna do great things
i don't wanna compromise
i wanna know what love is
is it something i do to myself

all is fair in love and war
or so they say and so the saying goes
but i see more broken hearts
than you can count the bullets in the war

oh what do i know
there's gotta be so much i don't know

i wanna do great things
i don't wanna compromise
i wanna know what love is
i wanna try everything

i wanna do great things
i don't wanna compromise
i wanna know what love is
is it something i do to myself
something i do to myself

what is life apart from memories
of dreams and friendships you have known
and the smells and childhood tales
and gone and played in clothes that you have worn

oh what do i know
there's gotta be so much i don't know

i wanna do great things
i don't wanna compromise
i wanna know what love is
is it something i do to myself
something i do to myself

never wanted many things
except the chance to learn from my mistakes
funny how you never learn
but know them when they come around again

oh what do i know
there's gotta be so much i don't know

i wanna do great things
i don't wanna compromise
i wanna know what love is
i wanna try everything

i wanna do great things
i don't wanna compromise
i wanna know what love is
is it something i do to myself
something i do to myself
something you do to yourself

Natural Animal in and out of prison
sitting in the pit of a cell
lick the blood of the walls
razor blade love letter hell

so you left me there
didn't care that they break down the door
were you really late
did you run away, left me to be caught

where are you now
where are you now
you're supposed to be a friend of mine
you're supposed to be a friend of mine
ohhh
ahhh

in and out of trouble
pushed in a school full of fools
i'm a natural animal
bent by the rules

you know what i've done
it's in everyone lurking in the cold
and you taught me all that i've ever known
why let me go

where are you now
where are you now
you're supposed to be a friend of mine
you're supposed to be a friend of mine
ohhh

why why why why why
you're a liar liar liar liar liar
ohhh

save your love
i'll learn on my own
save your love
i'll learn on my own

where are you now
where are you now
ohhh
where are you now
where are you now

liar liar liar liar liar
you're a liar liar liar liar liar

Go Away here it comes, the fools' parade
another clueless masquerade
and they're way too slow
they miss their space
yes they're way too slow
get out of my way

go away
(in the way, in the way, in the way)
go away
(in my way, in my way, in my way)
go away
(go away, go away, go away)
away
oh ah

here we go on the suckers' ride
hearts and minds are paralysed
and they're way too stupid
they'll be just fine
yes they're way too stupid
a waste of time

everybody's looking for something
everybody's looking for clues
and they're way too late
they missed the news
and think they're great
with their points of view

go away
(in the way, in the way, in the way)
go away
(in my way, in my way, in my way)
go away
(go away, go away, go away)
away
oh ah

all because you fell for yourself now
naughty girl, you fell for yourself now

go away go away go away
go away go away
go away go away go away

Pantyhose And Roses she leaves her brains at the door
she drops her guts on the floor
she only listens out for everyday noises
she very calmly ignores
the little things she abhors
she made her mind up to be tidy

it could change, it will never
it could change, it will never
it could change, it will never
it could change, it will never
it could change

he keeps his fingernails neat
he cleans the car once a week
he keeps an eye out for resistible bargains
but every night in his sleep
he dreams of sex on the street
he longs for pantyhose and roses

it could change, it will never
it could change, it will never
it could change, it will never
it will change, it could never
it could change, change

all these years, all this time
learn to suffer, compromise
turn away, tolerate
learn to suffer what you hate

it could change, it will never
it could change, it will never
it could change, it will never
it will change, it could never
it could change, change

you go walking alone
you go walking alone
you go walking alone
you go walking alone

Something Hot In A Cold Country should have been a rambler
a counterfeit gambler
would you steal the sunflowers from me

i see you've been fighting
with malatav writing
they try to drag you under i see

did they try to tell you you're strange
did they try to push you away
hold on

feed the fire, fan the flame
till the world remembers your name
till you've found all the sights (fire)
that you seek

feed the fire, fan the flame
till the world remembers your name
something hot in a cold country

hold on to your spirits
you're a pain not a poet
you're special and they know it, they can see

they throw a net that pins you to the ground
don't let their blindness bring you down
be stubborn and enjoy it like me

did they try to tell you you're strange
did they try to push you away
hold on

feed the fire, fan the flame
till the world remembers your name
till you've found all the fire
that you seek

feed the fire, fan the flame
till the world remembers your name
something hot in a cold country

i won't see you falling
hold on, hold on

feed the fire, fan the flame
till the world remembers your name
till you've found all the fire (sights)
that you seek

feed the fire, fan the flame
till the world remembers your name
something hot in a cold country

i won't see you falling
hold on

Four Letter Word what a nice surprise
well have i spoiled your appetite
and i told you once
i told you once
let me tell you twice, i wanted to say
a toast to emotion
raise your glasses high and turn them this way
a balance of hormones
that makes you feel like no one else
makes you just the same

here's to love, here's to hate
here's to everything that makes me realise
this is a four letter word
here's to fear, here's to fate
here's to everything that makes me realise
this is a four letter word

it's coming loud and clear
god, i fancy you my dear
well i might be wrong
i might be wrong
i might need glasses all along
my deepest emotion
nothing more than chemical equation
symphonies of stimulants
swimming round beating gland
may have caused a traffic jam

here's to love, here's to hate
here's to everything that makes me realise
this is a four letter word
here's to fear, here's to fate
here's to everything that makes me realise
this is a four letter word

here's to love, here's to hate
here's to everything that makes me realise
this is a four letter word
oh oh oh

oh oh oh
oh oh oh

Nobody Like You inside, it harbors
desire bruises my skin
so near, i'm hungry
i'd like to have more
in control, i've lost it
i'd like to try it again
it warms inside me
we're moving one step closer each time

there's nobody like you
nobody like you
nobody like you
nobody like you anyway, oh anyway
nobody like you
nobody can touch you
nobody like you anyway, oh anyway
everyone knows

we fall, slow motion
i taste your breath in my veins
like waves, vibrations
it's coming up again
let me climb inside you
caress your fever tongue
spread my wings around you
and we can slide

there's nobody like you
nobody like you
nobody like you
nobody like you anyway, oh anyway
there's nobody like you
nobody like you
nobody can touch you
nobody like you anyway, oh anyway
everyone knows

i've always craved
i tried to feed the hunger of an empty grave
you've shown me secrets i've not forgotten
i'll give you all the love that i take, ohh oh
that i take

inside, it harbors
desire bruises my skin
so near, i'm hungry
we're moving one step closer each time

there's nobody like you
nobody like you
nobody like you
nobody like you anyway, oh anyway
there's nobody like you
nobody like you
nobody can touch you
nobody like you anyway, oh anyway

there's nobody like you
can you can you can, oh oh oh
there's nobody like you
can you can you can, oh oh oh
there's nobody like you
can you can you can, oh oh oh

In The Year in the year when your bicycle broke
you were crying in the yard
but the world was a glorious game
new adventures stole your heart

it will come, it will go
but you hold on to what you know
you play your part, ah oh
you play your part, ah oh
you only fall for what you really want to

in the year when the future was lost
you were fighting in the class
headed west with your wits and a snarl
left your parents in the past
seventy-eight was the year you explored
tore your clothes and shaved your head
joined a band with a broken down van
thought your life was really swell

it will come, it will go
but you hold on to what you know
you play your part, ah oh
you play your part, ah oh
you only fall for what you really want to

save it all, save it all
save it all, wipe your tears away
save it all, save it all
save it all, wipe your tears
it has come, it has gone
but you hold on to what you know
you play your part, ah oh
you play your part, ah oh
you only fall for what you really want to
you play your part, ah oh
you only fall for what you really
you only fall for what you really
you only fall for what you really want to

Dark Therapy high above the rooftops
higher than the milky way
slipping through the hour glass
shooting up the desert plain
you are one life older than before
but you can't stop the child
now you're falling in slow motion
though the air is still

if you close your eyes then
(is anyone there)
i can take you all the way
(slowly slip away)
let me close your eyes and i will
(anyone there)
take it all the way
(all is gone away)

you are on the outside
hands upon the window sill
i am on the inside
carving up the hunter's kill

if you close your eyes then
(is anyone there)
i can take you all the way
(slowly slip away)
let me close your eyes and i will
(anyone there)
take it all the way
(all is gone away)

cruising on a missile
cruising on a desert plain
wading through a minefield
wading through the monsoon rain
surfing on an oil spill
surfing on a perfect wave
porn upon the airwaves
rituals of the mating game

if you close your eyes then
(is anyone there)
i can take you all the way
(slowly slip away)
let me close your eyes and i will
(anyone there)
take it all the way
(all is gone away)

if you close your eyes then
(is anyone there)
i can take you all the way
(slowly slip away)
let me close your eyes and i will
(anyone there)
take it all the way
(all is gone away)

Worms And Angels (one, two, three)

here and now
we are alone
time she will hold her breath
only the worms and angels
know our names
but they have not found us
although they surround us
i feel the distance closing

come along
for you and i know
we've lived through the centuries
we've ridden the darkest horses
all our lives
we hunted our enemies
we fought with a fallacy
it's time we are all god's children

far away
the galaxies soar
the stars are exploding still
i wish we could fly away
fly away

here and now
for you and i know
that true love is deathless
these crumbling days are ending
by my side
let's walk in the garden
we'll sleep in the ivy
we'll be with the worms and angels

Back
