Take on Me

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you

Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone In a day or two
So needless to say I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone In a day or two

Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things
I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone In a day or two

Train Of Thought

He likes to have
The morning paper crossword solved
Words go up, words come down
Forwards, backwards, twisted round
He grabs a pile of letters
From a small suitcase
Disappears into an office
It's another working day

And his thoughts
Are full of strangers
Corridors of naked light
And his mind
Once full of reason
Now there's more than meets the eye
Now a stranger's face
He carries with him

He likes a bit of reading
On the subway home
A distant radio whistling tunes
That nobody knows
At home a house awaits him
He unlocks the door
Thinking once there was a sea here
But there never was a door

And his thoughts
Are full of strangers
And his eyes too numb to see
And nothing that he knows of
And nowhere where he's been
Was ever quite like this

And the heart is full of strangers
Dodging on his train of thought
Train of thought

Hunting High And Low

Here I am
And within the reach of my hand
She's sound asleep and she's sweeter now
Than my wildest dream could have seen her
And I watch her slipping away
Though I know I'll be hunting high and low

Chorus:
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting high and low
High

There's no end to the lengths I'll go
To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She's the sweetest love I could find
So I guess I'll be hunting high and low

(chorus)
Do you know what it means to love you
I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me she's got to go away
I'll always be hunting high and low
Only for you
Watch me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low
High

There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and low

The Blue Sky

I find it hard to breathe
As life just eats away
At the faces that surround me
They look tired today
The lady at my table
Doesn't want me here
I just want to talk to her
But would she laugh at my accent
And make fun of me
It doesn't look like
The blue sky's here for me

There are no girls in here
As far as I can see
Only pin-up posters
Looking down at me
Watching papercups of coffee
Growing cold before my eyes
All the things I see
That makes me realize
I'm in this big world without you
Nothing to my name
I never knew that
Blue sky meant such pain

I'm dying to be different
In the coffee shop
I lived to double strength
Now my supplies are cut
Oh, I'm older than my looks
And older than my years
I'm too young to take on
My deepest fears
I used to be confused
But now I just don't know
Since you left I've been watching
Blue skies come and go

Living a Boy's Adventure Tale

I've fixed my dwelling for the night
Lights in pairs come passing by
where I hide
I need some time now on my own
Leave my loneliness alone
To lick my wounds
Night has found me just in time
to help me close my eyes
one more time

Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
Living a boy's adventure tale
For so many days
I'm living a boy's adventure tale
Can't escape, if I wanted to
Living a boy's adventure tale
I may be dreaming but I feel awake

I've been lost in so many places
Seeked love in so many faces
A change of weather,
the rain pours down
My head in hands,
pressed to the ground
And where am I supposed to go now

Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
Living a boy's adventure tale (aah)
Living a boy's adventure tale
a voice I hear
Living a boy's adventure tale
Singing a lullaby for me

Living a boy's adventure tale
Because of you
Living a boy's adventure
Oh you know it's true
Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways (aah)
For so many days
I love you. I love you
So many ways

The Sun Always Shines On T.V.

Chorus:
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on T.V.
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

I reached inside myself and found
Nothing there to ease the pressure
Off my ever worrying mind, oh
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me these days, oh

(chorus)

Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands of the way
I'm drifting gloomily through time, oh
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant

(chorus)

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

And You Tell Me

Please don't hurt me
I have told you
All my love is all I've got
But tomorrow is the day
When I, for your sake, am coming back
And you tell me that I don't love you

I'm trying hard to make you jealous
I'm trying harder to make you stay
Days are long and nights are crazy
It's so strange when you're away
And you tell me that I don't love you

Because I love you
I will show you
All the faces my love can have
So please let me come to you
And stay this time
And you tell me that I don't love you
Oh you know that it's just not true

Love Is Reason

My breath is coming fast
And as I make a start
You turn to go
Oh oh

I'll do what you want me to
I'll cry at the thought of
The loss of a heart

Chorus:
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason enough

My morals are changing fast
I told you it wouldn't last
You turn and go
Oh oh

I'll be what you want me to be
I'd die at the thought of
The loss of your heart

(chorus)

Oh Love is reason enough
I'd die at the thought of
The loss of your heart

(chorus)

I Dream Myself Alive

Dream myself alive
I dream myself alive

You can't deny
There's something dark against the light
All I can say
It doesn't have to be this way

We'll be chasing our tails madly
See days pass like wildfire
Right from the start
I knew this world would break my heart

I dream myself alive
Dream myself alive
I dream myself alive
Break my heart and
Dream myself alive

What can it mean?
I'm drawing pictures of a scene
Right from the start
I knew this girl would break my heart

Dream myself alive
Dream myself alive
I dream myself alive
Dream myself alive

Here I Stand And Face The Rain

Help me
I need your love
Don't walk away
The dark scares me so
We're nothing apart
Let's stay friends forever
Forever

Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's
Gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings

Trust me
For who I am
Lay all you claims
Into these hands
I've got nothing to say
But let's stay friends forever
Forever

Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's
Gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings

Here I stand and face the pain
Of knowing nothing's
Gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings

Here I stand and face the rain
Knowing nothing's gonna be the same again

Here I stand and face the rain

Knowing nothing's gonna be the same again
