I Will Follow

I was on the outside, when you said,
You said you needed me.
I was looking at myself, I was Blind
I could not see.

A boy tries hard to be a man, 
His mother takes him by his hand,
If he stops to think he starts to cry.
Oh why?

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will follow.

I was on the inside, 
When they pulled the four walls down,
You looked through the window, I was lost
I am found.

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will follow.

(Your eyes make a circle,
I see you when I go in there)

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will follow.

I will follow
I will follow...

Twilight

I look into his eyes, they're closed
But I see something.
A teacher told me why, I laugh
When old men cry.

My body grows and grows, 
It frightens me, you know.
The old man tried to walk me home.
I thought he should have known.

Twilight,
Twilight, lost my way.
Twilight, night and day.
Twilight, can't find my way.

(In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man).

I'm running in the rain.
I'm caught in a late night play.
It's all and everything.
I'm soaking through the skin.

Twilight,darkened day.
Twilight, lost my way.
Twilight, night and day.
Twilight, can't find my way.

(In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man).

An Cat Dubh

Say goodnight
She waits for me to
Put out the light
Lay there still
She waits to break my will

Yes, if I know the truth
How 'bout you...

And in the daylight
A blackbird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the wild

Yes, If I know the truth
How 'bout you...

Into The Heart

Into the heart...of a child
I stay a while...oh, I can go back

Into the heart...of a child
I can smile
I can go there

Into the heart
Into the heart of a child
I can go back
I can stay awhile

Into the heart...

Out Of Control

Monday morning
Eighteen years of dawning
I say how long
You say how long

It was one dull morning
Woke the world with falling
I was so sad (so sad)
It was so bad

I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control

Boys and Girls
Go to the school and girls
They make children
Not like this one

I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control

I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control

(Out of control)

I fought fate
There's blood on the garden gate
The man says childhood,
It's in his childhood

One day I'll die
The choice will not be mine
Will it be too late
You can't fight it

I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control

Stories For Boys

There's a place I go
And I am far away
There's a TV show
And I can grow

Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello hello

There's a picture book
With colored photographs
There's a comic strip
That makes me laugh

Sometimes the lady takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello hello

Stories for boys...stories for boys
Stories for boys...stories for boys
Stories for boys...

There's a place I go
And it's a part of me
There's a radio
And I will crawl

Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I can't let go
Hello hello

Stories for boys...

The Ocean

A picture in grey, Dorian Grey,
Just me by the sea.
And I felt like a star,
I thought the world could go far,
If they listened to what I said.

The Ocean, the Ocean
Washes my feet.
Splashes the soul of my shoes.

When I looked around,
The world couldn't be found,
Just me by the sea.

A Day Without Me

Starting a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind

I'm dreaming
You're awake
If I were sleeping
What's at stake
A day without me

Whatever the feelings
I keep feeling
What are the feelings
You left behind

Today's a day without me

I started a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind

In the world I left behind
Wipe their eyes, and then let go
To the world I left behind
Shed a tear, and then let go...

Another Time, Another Place

Bright morning lights
Wipe the sleep from another day's eye
Turn away from the wall
And there's Nothing at all
Being naked and afraid
In the open space of my bed

I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
Real life on a cloud
Real life...

Just as I am
I awoke with a tear on my tongue
I awoke with a feeling of never before
In my sleep I discover the one
But she ran with the morning sun

I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
Real life on a cloud
Real life...
Another time, another place
Real life...
Another child has lost the race
Real life...
Another time, another place
Real life...
Your time, your price

Real life...
Another time, another place
Real life...
Another child has lost...

(Gaelic words)

Real life...
Another time, another place
Real life...
Your time, your price

The Electric Co.

Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
Until you're able to

Toy, broken toy
Shout shout
You're inside out

If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.

Red, running red
Play for real
The toy could feel
A hole in your head
You go in shock
You're spoon-fed 

If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.

One two three four...

If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.
If you don't know...Electric co.

Just to hear me

I've found me way home

Shadows And Tall Trees

Back to the cold restless streets at night
I talk to myself about tomorrow night.
Walls of white protest, a gravestone in name
Who is it now? it's always the same.

Who is it now? who calls me inside
Are the leaves on the trees just a living disguise?
I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again to the street melody.

But I know oh no
But I know oh no
I know

Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees

Life through a window, a discoloured pain
Mrs Brown's washing is always the same
I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again to the street melody.

(Out there)
Do you feel in me, anything redeeming,
Any worthwhile feeling
Is life like a tightrope? hanging on my ceiling.

But I know oh no
But I know oh no
I know

Shadows and Tall Trees...
