Only in the fire
03:22
|

We’re on fire I shout
to the telephone but they don’t know
what the hell I’m on about
We survived the blitz
on cups of tea and cigarettes
So you know we won’t concede
Only in the fire we break the siege
and cast aside our heart of stone
Only in the fire we break the siege
and keep our heart from going cold
I don't know what's at stake anymore
so the fire burns outright
Light it up, light it up with desire
We are dancing in the glow of silhouette
Only in the fire we break the siege
and cast aside our heart of stone
Only in the fire we break the siege
and keep our heart from going cold

Lost in dark waters
03:49

Deep inside
I only want to be with you
I only want to live it through
Through your eyes
I only want to love with you
Lost in dark waters
Under the swell
Skin is a blanket of wonder
we’ll hardly need air
Lost in dark waters
Ocean of thrills
Lost in dark waters
I only want to love with you
And when I disappear
I’ll only leave tracks for you
When I disappear I’ll wear the scent of you
Lost in dark waters
Your touch pulls me under the swell
Skin is a blanket of wonder
we’ll hardly need air
Lost in desire
Your body’s an ocean of thrills
Lost in dark waters

Hold love hard
03:23
|
|||
This I know
Her mind was a mess
slightly touched
This is the source of loveliness
Must you cross
through the perfume
of lovers lost
This is the same as loveliness
Seems so long
Bathing in tears
Hold love hard
Easing the bruises
and all the stress
Seems so long
Bathing in tears
Hold love hard
Burdened for years
in sweet duress
Easing the bruises
and all the stress
Hold love hard
This is the source of loveliness

Sometimes love is a feeling
Soldier in your heart
I play with love like it's fire
Can you see that I'm dreaming
dreaming of my homeland
ice fire and water
Stop me from believing
the cold in the desert is hot
There's a hole in my heart
and it's keeping the soul out
You got feeling you got night time
All I want and it’s almost feeling alone
Night time we can be in shadow
All I want and it’s almost feeling alone
You got feeling you got night time
All I want and it’s almost feeling alone
Night time is the right time
All I want and it’s almost feeling alone
I'll give my heart on a platter to the next in line
who's building bridges in quicksand
Building walls around castles
is a step back in time

Hold sway
03:21
|
|||
You can only trace your line through ages
Life is just a mark in time
So touch us
Once more
You can breathe your final sigh
Last of a billion of a lifetime
Hold sway
Hold sway
Staring at the sky . . .
Doesn’t take a lot to live
Doesn’t take a lot
Hurry life is speeding
Mine awakens
Before the fall
Staring at the sky . . .

This thing
03:46
|
|||
Get me
Get me over
Over this thing
Over this silly thing
All these people know it
Gets me uptight thinking it
Like I'm always floating
Floating outside of this
All these people know it
I just want to touch you
Like a lost lil kitten
Running through the mission

Stay
03:53
|
|||
Young life
And its hearts burning
Young life
Then its hearts turning
You’re the kind who wants to run away
to hold your heart together
Keep it all together
Keep it all together
Where we belong
Skin drunk on sweat
Lay your arms down
Arms down
The legend she read
Memory was born
when they buried your body
in the back of my head
You’re the one who wants to run away
And hope it doesn’t sting
Stay stay
Where we belong
Skin drunk on sweat
Lay your arms down
Arms down

Feed the beast
04:37
|
|||
Why does it always come to this
She didn’t feed the beast she only looked that way
Wanna feed the boar-babe
Don’t you know it’s a shame
To fight the love we felt before the night
Only want to save you
Only want to do you
Only want to save you
Just to do you
Yeah want to save you
Only want to do you
Just to save you
Just to do you
What’s the point in always trying
Hold me to your chest
She didn’t feed the beast she only looked that way
Don’t you know it’s a shame
To fight the love we felt before the night
Why does it always come to this
Young love is always swift to kiss
And all they have is there for you
