Your Ex-Lover Is Dead (04:16)
Stars • Set Yourself on Fire
God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said "Yes, I think we've met before"
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love...

Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to say

I'm not sorry there's nothing to say...

Set Yourself on Fire (05:39)
Stars • Set Yourself on Fire
In a village in the hills
House buried to the window sills in snow
In a prison yard at night
An Alsatian barking for the stars to go

In the attic of a house
In the slats of light which creep across the room
In a forest grove at dawn
Where the animals sleep hidden in the gloom

On the 97th floor overlooking Tokyo
In Camden road in a second floor flat with
Dilworth down below
There is only one thing
There is only one thing

In a cancer ward where the patients sit
Waiting patiently to die
In an aeroplane high above the place
You finally left behind

In a cage where only one thing could be free
And it's not you and I
In a cage where only one thing could be free
And it's not you and I

In every single place that has ever, ever been
Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
One thing

In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen
In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen
In the diary of a priest, in the sheets that lie upon his bed
Out there amongst the waves and inside your lover's head

There is only one thing [x6]
There is only one... thing

20 years asleep before we sleep... forever
20 years asleep before we sleep... forever...

Ageless Beauty (04:05)
Stars • Set Yourself on Fire
Ageless beauty
Cruelty makes its holes
But on the shoreline
Time will hold its promise

We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light

Tattered fingers
Lingering on the warm and foolish
Hardened faces
Graceless, we'll lose the battle

We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light

Oceans won't freeze
So loosen your heart
Underestimated
Undefeated in this love

We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light

Reunion (03:41)
Stars • Set Yourself on Fire
In the year of my decline
Sucking freezies in the rain
Driving twisted in the suburbs
And then driving back again

Seventeen and half alive
Headlights illuminate the school
Inhale the powder from the science class
Yeah nearly dying felt so cool

Your face is all that hasn't changed
You're reassembled just like me
But when I reach to touch your hand
You stroke mine gently

All I want is one more chance
To be young and wild and free
All I want is one more chance to show you
You were right for me
You were right for me

I'm back in gym and it's the same
As my name tag floats away
I had six too many drinks last night, yes
And thats why I made you stay

Plus I always wanted you
You liked to rock it in your car
You said you didn't understand me
Because I always tried to see too far

Well "Tainted Love's" too fast to dance to
So let's leave them all behind
They hated us with everything they had
And we hated them in kind

All I want is one more chance
To be young and wild and free
All I want is one more chance to show you
You were right for me

All I want is one more chance
To be young and wild and free
All I want is one more chance to show you
You were right for me

Reunion, reunion...

Celebration Guns (03:05)
Stars • Set Yourself on Fire
And so tomorrow there will be another number
For the one who had a name
Desert wind and a perverse desire to win
History buried in shame

[Chorus:]
All the beating drums
Celebration guns
The thunder and the laughter
The last thing they remember

[Chorus]

And then the next day
How will you know your enemy
By their color or your fear
One by one you can cage them
In your freedom
Make them all disappear

Six hundred sixty-six hundred sixty days
Two guards for one uncharged
This morning's papers, ink stains my fingers
My hands grow darker everyday

[Chorus x4]

Goodnight, sleep light, stranger [repeat x3]

Soft Revolution (03:16)
Stars • Set Yourself on Fire
We are here to save your life
The fool, the drunk, the child, and his wife
We won't let the sun go down
We gonna chase the demons out of town
Singing when you feel alone
Backwards through the megaphone
Singing to the ones you love
And the ones you'd like to be rid of.

We are here to take the blame
To take the taunts and if the shame
We are here to make you feel
It terrifies you, but its real
It will keep you up all night
And in the flood of morning light
Spilling out across your room
You say the words will get there soon

The revolution wasn't bad
We hit the streets with all we had
A tape recording with the sound
Of the Velvet Underground
A K-Way jacket torn to shreds
And a dream inside our heads
And after changing everything
They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
After changing everything
They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
And that changes everything.
