Walking Wounded
Album - 21 maggio 1996 - Debaser id 12196

I don't want excuses.
I don't want your smiles.
I don't want to feel like we're apart a thousand of miles.
I don't want your attitude.
I don't want your things.
But I don't want a phone that never rings.
I want your love and I want it now.
I want your love and I want it now.

I don't want your history.
I don't want that stuff.
I want you to shut your mouth.
That would be enough.
I don't care if you've been here before.
You don't understand.
Tonight I feel above the law, I'm coming into land.
I want your love and I want it now.
I want your love and I want it now.

My heart is that much harder now.
That's what I thought before today.
My heart is that much harder now.
I thought that it would stay that way, before today.
Before today.
But I don't want a phone that never rings.
I want your love and I want it now.
I want your love and I want it now.
I want your love.

Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
x 4

I wanted everything for a little while,
why shouldn't I?
I wanted to know what it was like
But I pushed you too far,
and you started laying down the law
till I didn't love you anymore

Now you can pull a little bit
There's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
But finally its gonna break
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

Now there we both were in that little house
Just hanging out
You didn't know what you were about
You turned to me as you were
threading daisies on a chain
and you said "It's decision time again"

Now you can pull a little bit
There's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
But finally its gonna break
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
Cuz I was wrong

I called you from the hotel phone
I haven't dialled this code before
I'm sleeping later and waking later
I'm eating less and thinking more
And how am I without you?
Am I more myself or less myself?
I feel younger, louder
Like I don't always connect
Like I don't ever connect

And do you like being single?
Do you want me back?
Do you want me back?
And do I like being single?
Am I coming back?
Am I coming back?

I'll put my suitcase here for now
I'll turn the TV to the bed
But if no one calls and I don't speak all day
Do I disappear?
And look at me without you
I'm quite proud of myself
I feel reckless, clumsy
Like I'm making a mistake
A really big mistake

And do you like being single?
Do you want me back?
Do you want me back?
And do I like being single?
Am I coming back?
Am I coming back?
Do you want me back? (x6)

And now I know
Each time I go
I don't really know
What I'm thinking
And now I know
Each time I go
I don't really know
What I'm thinking of

Do you want me back? (x5)

Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus
Is you and me and him and her and nothing can replace the us I knew
Nothing can replace the us I knew

And no, I'm never gonna let you go
And no, I'm never gonna let you go
And now I know I had a choice though you never made it clear to me
I thought you never felt it deeply
Now I'm never gonna let you go
Now I'm never gonna let you go
'Cause I could have loved you forever
I could have loved you forever

What do you want from me?, Are you trying to punish me?
Punish me for loving you, punish me for giving to you
Punish me for nothing I do, punish me for nothing
You punish me for nothing, for nothing

Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus
Is you and me and him and her and nothing can replace the us I knew
Nothing can replace the us I knew

Now I'm never gonna let you go
Now I'm never gonna let you go
And now I know I had a choice though you never made it clear to me
I thought you never felt it deeply
Now I'm never gonna let you go
Now I'm never gonna let you go
'Cause I could have loved you forever
Oh I could have loved you forever

What do you want from me? , Are you trying to punish me?
Punish me for loving you, punish me for giving to you
Punish me for nothing I do, punish me for nothing
You punish me for nothing, for nothing

Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus
Is you and me and him and her and nothing can replace the us I knew
Nothing can replace the us I knew
Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every train
Is you and me and him and her, some days I think I could go insane
Some days I think I could go insane

London, summer �92
I think I've changed a lot since then, Do you?
Ideas that I'd held for years, emotional baggage, hopes and fears,
Seen somehow in a different light, not as wrong , but not as right as they seemed before.
Was I different then?
Have I changed?
And will I change again?
I'm thinking of a mental free-fall, a partial total memory recall like what of the future, what of the past, what of the present will last?
And say I did forget and revert to the old days, forget this hurt.
Am I better off or in reverse, untaught by experience and therefore worse?
I mean a lot, I mean a little.
I mean a lot, I mean a little.

I'm like a coastline, a beach and spit.
Spurn Point and the rest of it.
The sea, the tide, the salt and foam.
I'm the blasted land, the sand shifting, drifting out and back, then breached, drowned, defenses down, rebuilt from this day on.
Or maybe not, maybe my moment�s gone.
I mean a lot, I mean a little.
I mean a lot, I mean a little.

Am I the same person I seemed to be?
Does all of this depress me?
I won't listen, I won't talk.
A weightless life, I moonwalk.
I mean a lot, I mean a little.
I'm supple, brittle, pig in the middle.
There's resilience inside my face, but sometimes nothing.
Deep space.
What I feel and what I fear is always here my atmosphere.
Pig in the middle
I mean a lot, I mean a little.
I mean a lot, I mean a little.

You don't know what's wrong, you only know it isn't right.
You don't remember for how long, but you wake in tears at night.
Big deal.
Big deal.

You spend four nights a week now looking for your inner child.
What you gonna say when you find him?
Suppose you don't like him or he doesn't like you?
Suppose once you wake him up he won't go back to bed and wants to stay up late watching TV?
But you say there must be some reason why you feel this way.
Big deal, that's the way we all feel.
Big deal, what is it you wanna feel?
Big deal, that's the way we all feel.
Big deal, what is it you wanna feel?

You say you wanna get cured, you wanna turn off your head.
Oh and you say it hurts, and you feel unsure.
First you doubt yourself and then you doubt her.
Big deal, that's the way we all feel.
Big deal, what is it you wanna feel?
Big deal, that's the way I feel.
Big deal, what she think she feels?
What is it you wanna feel?
I don't think you wanna feel

You never knew the teenage me
And you would not believe
The things you didn't see some pretty some ugly
And the lovely mirrorball reflected back them all
Every triumph every fight under disco light

Come on girl it's alright
Come on girl it's alright now
Come on girl it's gonna be alright now

Well I guess some boys adored me
But the one I loved ignored me
And caused me in the end to murder my best friend
And though I got her letter it never did get better
And I got out of my head
Then I joined a band instead

Come on girl it's alright
Come on girl it's alright now
Come on girl it's gonna be alright now

Some good times I remember
My birthday that September
We laid down on the lawn
And counted until dawn
The stars that we lay under
And is he still I wonder
The fairest of them all
Mirror Mirrorball
Mirrorball

Come on girl it's too late
Come on girl it's too late now
Come on girl let it all go
Come on girl it's too late now

Come on girl it's gonna be alright
Come on girl it's never gonna be alright (yeah)

It's too late now
Let it all go
Cause it's never gonna be alright
