You Were Wrong 
who knows what the day brings? 
when the girl on the palace steps sings 
I'm sorry the breakdown was mine 
I missed all the signs, I can't read your mind 
and before you go run off again 
and cry to your friends 
would you look through the frost, and see 
here behind my cold eyes, my heart it is wore 
my eyelids are sore 
and you were wrong 
and you were wrong 
and so when my song it was sung 
I went to the grass, and I sat in the sun 
to bask underneath my own dredge 
do I follow my heart, do I have far to go 
and I'd lie 'neath the shade of our bones 
with the heart of a star, 
'cause I live on my own stone 
and you were wrong 
and you were wrong 
who knows what the day brings? 
when the girl on the palace steps sings 
you were wrong 
you were wrong 
you were wrong 

Right Road (Wrong Road) 
the books that you gave me, they had no pages 
no picture book stories to put inside my song 
and the heroes you made me, they had no faces 
no chisel jaw featues to carve my own on 
and there's a right road 
and there's a wrong wrong road 
so I dropped your book you held so high 
for to question is believe 
and I know you said you needed time 
but I never thought you had the balls to leave 
and there's a right road 
and there's a wrong wrong road 
I see your card come tumble down 
and I know your future now 
I see your card come tumble down 
I watch the wheel go spinning round 
I see your card come tumble down 
and I know your future now 
I watch the wheel go spinning round 
and I watch your future going down 
and there's a right road 
and there's a wrong wrong road 
I was a featureless face till you came along 
now I'm carved by your diamond, won by your song 
and I feel that it's right 
but I know that it's wrong 
and all the love and care and respect 
I had for you is long gone 
Right road 
wrong road 
wrong road 

Before You Go 
you ain't got far to go 
come down for the feasta 
come on fiesta, love me long 
she's incognito 
she lives in the parade by the sea, near the sand 
and I wish she'd come take my hand 
and we'll blow 
baby there's one thing you should know 
before you go 
baby there is one thing you should know 
I can't stop loving you 
I can't stop loving you 
I can't stop loving you 
I'm saved now, I'm saved by your hand 
and all the logic and language and loss 
I'd throw it all away for the dancer 
she's running upstairs now and she's made till the end 
but you see she's incognito 
I've seen a lot of dares and they come and they 
stay and they go 
ah but, no, no, no she said no, she said 
turn on your record player 
and baby there's one thing you should know 
before you go 
baby there is one thing you should know 
I can't stop loving you 
I can't stop loving you 
I can't stop loving you 
but how far will it go 
and baby there's one thing you should know 
before you go 
baby there is one thing you should know 
before you go 
baby there is one thing you should know 
I can't stop loving you 
I can't stop loving you 
I can't stop loving you 

The Waltz 
you said you kissed the foot of the saviour 
felt his confession in your sleep 
well I'll be your saviour, if you'll do me that favour 
and if you want I'll bathe you 
in the blood of the lamb 
I love you, but you're too young to know 
and even if I am thinking of you 
(I won't let it show) 
when you're like this 
you could be thinking anything at all 
when you're like this 
I might as well be talking to the 
I might as well be talking to the wall 
I love you, but you're too young to know 
and even if I am thinking of you 
(you'll never know) 
but you, but you, but you, but you 
but you, but you, but you, but you 
but you, but you, but you, but you 
amalama ah but you, amalama ama ramble on 
I love you, but you're too young to know 
and even if I am thinking of you 
(you'll never know) 
it's too late for you to go 

Downhill From Here 
let go of the wheel 
and forget how to steer 
it's all downhill from here 
forget all the words that you heard 
and shuffle them till they're unclear 
it's all downhill from here 
and if I held the key to all time 
then all of your time would be mine 
pick up something to throw 
and see how far it'll go 
and forget all you know 
we'll throw our thoughts over the pier 
and send them all into the mire 
and wait there, until they all disappear 
and if I held the secret to faith 
then all of your faith would be mine 
so let go of the wheel 
and forget how to steer 
it's all downhill from here 
and when you're flying past 
in your carriage of glass 
will you get time to ask 
or will it all be too fast 
and when you're getting cold in your 
in your carriage of gold 
will you hear all I told 
or be too precious to hold 
and if I held the door to all love 
then all of your love would be mine 
and if I held the whole world in my hands 
then all of your world would be mine 
so let go of the wheel 
and forget how to steer 
it's all downhill form here 
it's all downhill form here 
it's all downhill form here 

Masquerade 
am I making sense? am I making time? 
well I put it by 
and I can't wait to try 
masquerade! 
the world's a stage 
a hundred faces for you to play 
well it's hard to believe 
I'm spinning all this way 
I'm spinning all this way 
round and round in my head 
roll over again 
let your heart do the spin 
and listen to nothing 
I have to say 
what did my moma say 
I was always making songs for her 
over my song, over these days gone on 
you come to a special place 
where you can go in straight 
masquerade! 
you send me down your massive chain 
you send me down your massive chain 
and you base the frame 
what did my moma say 
I was always making songs for her 
there's better way 

Picture Of Love 
I had to strain to understand 
your swimming in the watertower 
running blood down from my hand 
and she said are you sure that you live 
the way you want to live 
I had to hope to take her hand 
I was hanging on the edge for hours 
dreaming of some starry strand 
and I was dreaming about your face 
running back my way 
we were the picture of love 
and love doesn't think of tomorrow 
and long live romance from above 
and your fire of love 
I built a fire into the sky 
a little something to remember you by 
and panic broke and I lost my faith 
and I was mistaken for you 
on the palace stool 
we were the picture of love 
and love doesn't think of tomorrow 
and long live romance from above 
and your fire of love 
we were the picture of love 
and love doesn't think of forever 
and long live your stars from above 
and your fire of love 
I had to strain to understand 
your swimming in the watertower 
we were the picture of love 
and love doesn't think of tomorrow 
and long live romance from above 
and your fire of love 
we were the picture of love 
and love doesn't think past forever 
and long live you stars from above 
and your fire of love 
and your fire of love 
and she said are you sure that you live 
the way you want to live 

Martha 
hey Martha why are you crying? 
is it for the same reason you were crying yesterday? 
don't you know a bad situation when you see one? 
get out, just leave baby, go today 
well I'm just waiting for you to open me up 
just hoping you'll drink from my broken cup 
I'm just a lonely boy who knows 
nothing else but you, my Martha 
hey Martha what are you saying? 
you say you got to figure it all out for yourself 
well time won't wait, and you're not special 
don't you think it's time you took me down 
off your shelf 
I won't claim to be the saviour of your soul, no 
I wouldn't want that kind of thing at all 
I'm just a lonely boy who knows 
nothing else but you, my Martha 
hey my my my Martha 
hey my my my Martha 
hey Martha the boat is leaving 
pretty soon they are going to be 
calling the last of us on 
please don't please don't make me leave without you 
don't make this a very sad and unhappy song 
you know I tried to say well it doesn't matter 
I tried to throw away everything I thought was true 
I'm just a lonely boy who knows 
nothing else but you my Martha 
hey my my my Martha 
hey my my my Martha 
hey my my my Martha 

Another Love Song 
I looked into her face again 
the penny dropped and I stook out my can 
she was holding her ballerine case 
I was stuck in the back of the place 
I turned around and she laughed in my face 
she took me up to her higher wall 
she took me up there just to let me fall 
and I'll sing you 
another love song 
another love song 
I looked into her face once more 
sit you back so I can tell you a little story 
you look better from behind 
you look better from behind 
you look better from outside 
she took me up into her flying clay 
she took me up there just to blow away 
and I'll sing you 
another love song 
another love song 
I begged her, begged her, begged her please 
you skinny fatcher I could take your little stamen 
I only asked you for the time 
I only asked you for the time 
I only asked you for a sign 
she took me up into he bell I go 
she took me up there just to let it blow 
and I'll sing you 
another love song 
another love song 
another love song 

Telegraph Poles 
there was a head on collision 
at my front door today 
one man died 
and another man tried to stop it 
there was a head on collision 
at my front door today 
one man dies 
and another man tried to stop it 
I was hanging on the pole 
when I saw what happened 
I went to tell my ma, 
but she was sleeping 
I was hanging on the pole 
when I saw what happened 
don't take that man away 
it was not his fault 
telegraph poles are good for climbing 
but don't touch the live wire 
at the tip of the barrell 
telegraph poles are good for climbing 
but don't touch the live wire 
at the tip of the barrell 
you know this means everything to me 
but I'm not sure if I'll be here tomorrow 
you know this means everything to me 
but I'm not sure if I'll be here tomorrow 
telegraph poles are good for climbing 
but don't touch the live wire 
at the tip of the barrell 
telegraph poles are good for climbing 
but don't touch the live wire 
at the tip of the barrell 
there was a head on collision 
at my front door today 
one man died 
and another man tried to stop it 

Live Forever 
I run my hands along the rail 
like I'm banging on a dead nail 
I pull your mask around your face 
and pack your castle in a big case 
you're not a sage 
but you know you're always on a big stage 
I'm gonna live forever 
I'm gonna live forever 
I'm gonna live forever 
I'm gonna live forever 
he was just a guy 
with his plan 
pitchin' rubbers with his rain-tan 
I took a date from the two day dance 
kissed my girl in pretty blue pants 
got to shake your hand 
you know I've always been a big fan 
I'm gonna live forever 
I'm gonna live forever 
I'm gonna live forever 
I'm gonna live forever 
on holiday when she was away, I was always 
never gonna, ever gonna 
I'm gonna live forever 
I'm gonna live forever 
I'm gonna live forever 
I'm gonna live forever 
stop right there 
pull your plan and dig your heal 
spin your castle on a bent wheel 
pull your mask around your face 
throw your hands into a big space 
I'm not just gonna stand like I'm 
waiting for the big hand 
I'm gonna live forever!
