Take Me Where

An assassin and her client had just read the Book of Books,
she stayed home to do her coursework,
I went to see the Crookes,
Jack at the bar shot me some dangerous looks,
she stayed home to do her coursework writing all about books,
Jack at the bar was dancing to The Crookes,
an assassin and her client throwing dangerous looks,
an assassin and her client listening to The Crookes,
and Jack at the bar flicking through some books,
and she stayed home to do her coursework,
gave me dangerous looks,
the assassin took her bishop and she took both his rooks,
and he drew out a sigh, resigned his king,
he said "for you, baby, I'd resign anything,
for you, my love, I'd do anything!"
Take me where you wanna go,
we'll be gone by tomorrow,
anywhere I will follow
Tell me there's love and show me where,
she whispered "Oh, but do you dare?",
said "No, but do I care?"
Nobody can reach us now, my love,
nobody could ever reach us now!
Nobody keeps up with us now, my love,
nobody could ever keep up now
and nobody would know!
She texted me all night about sailing away,
an assassin and her client waited just another day,
Jack at the bar asked if I've got something to say,
an assassin and her client, sailing away,
and Jack at the bar remembered some long gone day,
dreamed sweet dreams of sailing away,
and an assassin and her client look for something to say,
she texted all night asking if I've something to say,
and she texted me all night and said nothing the next day,
the assassin hit a 6 and then rain stopped play,
he drew a sigh and said "I didn't think you'd win?",
she said "For you, baby, I'd do anything,
my love, I would do anything!"
Take me where you wanna go,
we'll be gone by tomorrow,
anywhere I will follow
Tell me there's love and show me where,
whispered "Oh, do you dare?",
said "No, but do I care?"
Nobody can reach us now, my love,
nobody could ever reach us now!
Nobody keeps up with us now, my love,
nobody could ever keep up now
and nobody would know!
Well, I still visit the pub we sat in,
like a Cornerstone, or something Latin,
I forget who's batting, I think it's the assassin,
who's wearing silk and who's wearing satin,
oh, you dress so well,
my love, I would dance through hell!
Take me where etc

Pint Glass
03:37

You play with your pint glass like a cat with a ball,
they chant your name at midnight in the church hall,
your name calls out to mine at midnight
trying to get through it all,
I succumb to this and that, and I confess, and I'm a fool,
and I would fall at your feet.
I'm walking the dog and trying to keep to the beat,
there's a sparkle in the frost on the ground, on the street
where the fairy lights and my boots meet,
I'm treading on thin ice but I always loved the sweet,
sweet, crunching sound.
I've been looking for transcendence from town to town,
searching for the answers all the world round,
yeah, I've been up night and day, and all that I've found
is I just can't bear it when you're not around!
There are dreams that are just dreams.
There are dreams that aren't just dreams.
And there's something about the letters of your name,
they just toss and turn through the night.
Draw eyeliner on,
just in case we don't come back alive!
You and I, we're in love and that's a given!
We'd both woken up early on the day that we met,
you were making a shelter to light a cigarette,
I bought a tiffin so I wouldn't look too cheap in the Pret,
you know those squares
you see in cities there ain't plans for yet,
the ones you stop to adore.
We kissed till our lips felt swollen and sore,
we spoke till we couldn't hear the chill anymore,
I'd never seen aggression so soft before,
there's a heaven in your sky, a gurn in your jaw,
tell me why
we're all dancing in basements trying not to die.
You smiled straight at me, I thought I could cry.
Thought it was all femme fatale until I opened my eyes
and saw everything but love is nothing but a lie!
There are dreams that are just dreams.
There are dreams that aren't just dreams.
And there's something about the letters of your name,
they just toss and turn through the night.
Draw eyeliner on,
just in case we don't come back alive!
You and I, we're in love and that's a given!
Oooh sha la la etc
Well, it's a world that begs to be lived in,
it's a day designed for living,
we're in love and that's a given,
and we never let go.

Be There
04:00
|

|
There are things in the distance,
they sometimes make you smile.
You've been taking a while to reply,
and there are things in the sky,
between here and well...yeah
between here and well...there
between here and hell...yeah
Oh, be there
There are birds that only sing
when the song you're playing ends.
There are dawns that go unnoticed
until the weekends,
between here and well...yeah
between here and well...there
between here and hell...yeah
Oh, be there
I chose a star to see, you said it was a plane,
I thought I saw it move, gliding slowly through the air,
and then I saw that it was still and hadn't moved at all,
we promise that we care, or at least that we'll be there,
and when we talk of prayer, we ask if someone's there.
You pointed out Mars, I didn't know it was up there!
When we were just kids, playing truth or dare,
dares were all that mattered and now I really couldn't care,
give me truth and be there! Oh, truth, be there!
If I were rich, I'd live here,
where the blossom falls on cars.
It's not an affectation anymore,
when I look up at the stars.
between here and well...yeah
between here and well...there
between here and hell...yeah
I will be there.
