She's dying
everybody came to see
She's falling
and I know I'll never see her face again
And I don't really know
just why she's leaving
All she ever said
was she just had to go
And I watch her
as she walks away from me
Yeah, I can see her
then I know that in a moment she'll be gone
Yeah, she'll be gone and
and then I'll say
"You've got to understand
She's not really breathing
no not at all
those years of endless rain
they just washed her away."
Oh and I know she's leaving
Yeah she's going for good
Oh and I'd love to go with you
but I never would
Face it
you've blown it this time round
Now I understand
just why she's leaving
Oh
If she'd have hung around with me
well you know she'd never go, no nonono
Oh and I know she's leaving
Yeah, she's going for good
and I'd love to go with you
but I never would
Oh and I know she's leaving
Yeah, she's going for good
and I'd love to go with you
oh but I never would
No I never would
No I never would
No I never would
Oh no
Dadadada dadada...
She's never coming back
Face it
She's gone
Oh
Lalalala lalala...
No I never would
No I never would.

As the sun shines down on the land,
so her heart is crying for love.
And there is no-one there,
no-one to hear her voice.
And she will sleep alone again tonight.
Now the moon is high in the sky.
In her room she calls out his name.
But he is somewhere else,
somewhere she cannot see.
Oh, and the night is dark between them now,
"My god, my God, why did he go away?"
Now the sun shines on a new town.
With a smile he gets off the train.
He lights a cigarette,
leans back to see the sky.
Oh and he thinks how much better off he is,
without her hanging round.
Let's do it.
And the day is passing by him,
and he has nowhere to stay.
At a lonely bar-room table,
his mind goes back to yesterday,
to the girl who's dead and buried,
but her face lives in his eyes.
He must forget that face forever.
Make the future start tonight.
But the meal he eats is dead flesh.
There is cancer in his cigarettes.
And the drinks won't do a thing for him,
but revive some stupid memories.
Then a hairstyle that reminds him,
makes him run into the night,
where the moon hangs high above him now,
the same moon that she's praying on tonight.
But the wind catches her words.
And the moon swallows them whole.
Now the moon is high in the sky.
In her room she calls out his name.
The night is cold and dark, and she is all alone.
The bed is empty now.
Her body screams for love.
She wants to be with him.
Oh but he's so far away.
Oh and the night is dark between them now
"My God, my God, why did he go away?"

Oh I was seventeen,
when I heard the countdown start, it started slowly,
and I thought it was my heart but then I realised,
that this time it was for real there was no place to hide,
I had to go out and feel,
but there was time to kill,
and so I, I walked my way around town,
I tried to love the world,
oh but the world just got me down,
and so I looked for you,
in every street of every town I wanted to see your face,
I wanna, I wanna see you now.
I wanna see you now.
Oh and so it went,
Oh so it went for several years I couldn't stand it
No, oh it must be getting near now that,
you just don't know,
oh no you, you just don't understand how many people have seen you,
in the arms of, of of some other man,
I've got to meet you, and find you,
and take you by the hand, oh my God,
my God, you've got to understand,
that I was seventeen.
I didn't, I didn't know a thing at all.
I've got no reason,
I've got no reason at all, Oh no.
The time, of my life,
oh I think you came too soon,
Yeah you came too soon then,
Oh and it could, it could be tonight,
if I ever leave this room,
(I never leave this room no)
Oh I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down,
Get down, oh.
Oh and the sky,
is crying out tonight,
for me to leave this town,
so I'm gonna leave this town.
Goodbye.
O.K.
Yeah you can leave me,
oh you, you can go some other place,
you can't forget it.
Yeah, you know, you know that's O.K.
cos, cos I own this town,
Yeah, I brought it to its knees,
Can you hear it crying?
Can you?
Can you hear it begging to me "Please?"
I know it's coming,
so soon now
oh, oh it's on it's way.
Oh no, oh no, oh I can hear them say,
they say I can't survive,
They say I, I'll never leave the ground,
They say it's all a lie,
and now, and now it's coming down,
Oh baby now,
Time, of my life, oh I think you came too soon.
Yeah you came too soon now,
Oh and it could, oh it could be tonight,
if I ever leave this room,
(I never leave this room now)
Oh oh oh
I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down.
Get down, oh
Oh and the sky, is crying out tonight,
for me to leave this town,
So I'm gonna go, gonna be there,
I'm gonna go.
Bub-bye.
It's O.K,
You don't have to care.
Really.
Oh, oh really, I swear,
No, no you owe me nothing,
You owe nothing to me,
And if I messed it up baby,
Then, that's all up to me.
And if you go, then, then I won't follow, no, no
cos so many times I've been,
I've been thinking maybe, oh maybe I should
No, I, I'm gonna stay
I, I'm gonna make my way
Oh, I'm gonna get on through babe
I'm gonna make it all some day
Oh, time, of my life,
no I think you came too soon,
You came too soon then.
Oh and it could, it could be tonight,
if I ever leave this room,
(I never, I never leave this room, no)
Oh oh oh
I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down
Get down, oh
And the sky, is crying out tonight,
for me to leave this town.
So I'll leave this town.
The sky, is crying out tonight,
for me to leave this town,
yeah I'm gonna leave this town
Time
is crying out tonight
for me to leave this town
So I'm gonna go yeah
I'm gonna go
Yeah
Bub-bye
I'm gonna leave this town
You're not gonna have me around
Oh
The sky and stars and God will never ever laugh
Me and stars and moon are falling down.

You know sometimes...when we're lying together...
and I know you're asleep...I can hear the soft sound of your breathing...
so I get up...and I go to the window...Outside...I can see all the houses...
curtains shut tight against the night...asleep beneath the roof-tiles...
and as I stand here...I wonder...I wonder how many more times...
I'm gonna come here...I wonder how many more times...I'm gonna lie here...
and most of all...most of all I wonder...I wonder what it means...
I just wanna know what it means...So I woke her...
and we went walking through the sleeping town...
down deserted streets...frozen gardens grey in the moonlight...
fences...down to the canal...
creeping slowly past the cooling towers...
deserted factories...looking for an adventure...
I wandered the streets calling your name...jumping walls...
hoping to see a light in the window...let me in...
let me come in...let me in tonight...
oh I see you shivering in the garden...
silver goose-flesh in the moonlight ...she's balancing...
there are so many others...with unbroken eyes...
no cellulite afternoons... and she is balancing...
balancing on the edge of ugliness tonight...
She is balancing...

good God!
My legendary girlfriend,
she is crying tonight,
Oh no she doesn't feel right,
She's got no-one to hold,
Her love is a sham,
He is dancing somewhere.
Oh no he doen't care,
oh well, he'll never know.

Jump...touch my hair...I wanna...I don't care...cos tonight...we could,
maybe we...maybe we can touch the sky...do you think that we can...
do you think that we can...touch the sky...please...I know...
I know it's not forever...but tonight I don't care...
your skin so pale in the moonlight...
and the way your lips swell up when you're asleep...
nothing else matters...do you know how much I want you?...
Can you feel how much I want you?...
Oh
Pitsmoor Woman
oh let
oh let me in tonight

My legendary girlfriend,
she is crying tonight,
Oh no she doesn't feel right,
She's got no-one to hold.
Her love is a sham,
He is dancing somewhere.
Oh no he doen't care,
oh well, he'll never know.
And all the stars came out tonight,
and the moon came on it's face,
It shone right though the clothes she wore,
it shone right through the dress she wore.
Good God

Oh, y'know...listen...listen...please...oh...I just wanna...
I just wanna... ...He falls to sleep again...no cheese tonight...she knows

My legendary girlfriend,
she is crying tonight,
Oh no she doesn't feel right,
She's got no-one to hold.
Her love is a sham,
He is dancing somewhere.
Oh no he doen't care,
oh well, he'll never know.
And all the stars came out tonight,
and the moon came on it's face.
It shone right through the dress she wore,
it shone right through the clothes she wore.
And the stars and the moon,
And the stars all came down today.
Oh please love me tonight
Good God now!
