It was only one hour ago It was all so different then Nothing yet has really sunk in Looks like it always did This flesh and bone It’s just the way that we had tied in Now there’s no-one home
I grieve for you You leave me So hard to move on Still loving what’s gone They say life carries on Carries on and on and on and on
The news that truly shocks is the empty, empty page While the final rattle rocks its empty, empty cage And I can’t handle this
I grieve for you You leave me Let it out and move on Missing what’s gone They say life carries on They say life carries on and on and on
Life carries on In the people I meet In everyone that’s out on the street In all the dogs and cats In the flies and rats In the rot and the rust In the ashes and the dust Life carries on and on and on and on Life carries on and on and on
It’s just the car that we ride in A home we reside in The face that we hide in The way we are tied in As life carries on and on and on and on Life carries on and on and on You might also like
Did I dream this belief? Or did I believe this dream? Now I can find relief I grieve
I woke up and the world outside was dark All so quiet before the dawn Opened up the door and walked outside The ground was cold I walked until I couldn’t walk anymore To a place I’d never been There was something stirring in the air In front of me, I could see
More than this More than this So much more than this There is something else there When all that you had has all gone And more than this I stand Feeling so connected And I’m all there Right next to you
It started when I saw the ship go down I saw them struggle in the sea And suddenly the picture disappears In front of me Now we’re busy making all our busy plans On foundations built to last But nothing fades as fast as the future And nothing clings like the past, until we can see
More than this More than this So much more than this There is something out there More than this It’s coming through And more than this I stand alone and so connected And I’m all there Right next to you
Oh then it’s alright When with every day another bit falls away Oh but it’s still alright, alright, alright And like words together we can make some sense Much more than this Way beyond imagination Much more than this Beyond the stars With my head so full So full of fractured pictures And I’m all there Right next to you So much more than this There is something else there When all that you had has all gone And more than this I’m alone Feeling so connected And I’m all there right next to you You might also like Signal to Noise Peter Gabriel My Head Sounds Like That Peter Gabriel Sledgehammer Peter Gabriel
It’s only water in a stranger’s tear Looks are deceptive, but distinctions are clear A foreign body and a foreign mind Never welcome in the land of the blind
You may look like we do Talk like we do But you know how it is
You’re not one of us, not one of us No, you’re not one of us Not one of us, not one of us No, you’re not one of us
There’s safety in numbers when you learn to divide How can we be in if there is no outside? All shades of opinion feed an open mind But your values are twisted, let us help you unwind
You may look like we do Talk like we do But you know how it is
It’s only water It’s only water (It’s only water) It’s only water in a stranger’s tear
You may look like we do Talk like we do But you know how it is

Something in me, dark and sticky All the time it’s getting strong No way of dealing with this feeling Can’t go on like this too long
This time you’ve gone too far This time you’ve gone too far This time you’ve gone too far I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you This time you’ve gone too far This time you’ve gone too far This time you’ve gone too far I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
Don’t talk back Just drive the car Shut your mouth I know what you are Don’t say nothing Keep your hands on the wheel Don’t turn around This is for real Digging in the dirt Stay with me, I need support I’m digging in the dirt To find the places I got hurt Open up the places I got hurt
The more I look, the more I find As I close on in, I get so blind I feel it in my head, I feel it in my toes I feel it in my sex, that’s the place it goes
This time you’ve gone too far This time you’ve gone too far This time you’ve gone too far I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you This time you’ve gone too far This time you’ve gone too far This time you’ve gone too far I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
I’m digging in the dirt Stay with me I need support I’m digging in the dirt To find the places I got hurt To open up the places I got hurt
Digging in the dirt To find the places we got hurt Digging in the dirt To find the places we got hurt Digging in the dirt To find the places we got hurt Digging in the dirt To find the places we got hurt Digging in the dirt To find the places we got hurt Digging in the dirt To find the places we got hurt Digging in the dirt To find the places we got hurt
Caught in the chaos in the market square I don’t know what, I don’t know why, but something’s wrong down there Their bodies twistin’ and turnin’ in a thousand ways The eyes all rollin’ round and round into a distant gaze
Ah, look at that crowd! Some are jumping up in the air – say, “We’re drowning in a torrent of blood!” Others going down on their knees, seen a saviour come out of the mud
Oh, Mother! It’s eating out my soul Destroying law and order, I’m going to lose control What can I do to stop this plague, spread by sight alone Just a glimpse and then a quiver, then they shiver to the bone
Ah, look at them go! Bunderschaft, you are going daft? Better seal off the castle grounds “This is Moribund, the Burgermeister, I’m gonna keep this monster down Somebody sent the subversive element; going to chase it out of down.”
No-one will tell what all this is about But I will find out I will find out I will find out
This thing’s outrageous, I tell you on the level It’s really so contagious must be the work of the devil You better go now, pick up the pipers and tell them to play Seems the music keeps them quiet, there is no other way
Ah, close the doors! “We’ve tried potions and waxen dolls, but none of us could find any cures,” Mother please, is it just a disease, that has them breaking all my laws Check if you can disconnect the effect and I’ll go after the cause [Post-Chorus] No-one will tell what all this is about But I will find out I will find out I will find out
Mother, you know your son When I say I will, I will They’ll be sorry I’ll make sure they’re sorry
When the night shows The signals grow on radios All the strange things They come and go as early warnings Stranded starfish have no place to hide Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide There’s no point in direction we cannot even choose a side
I took the old track The hollow shoulder, across the waters On the tall cliffs They were getting older, sons and daughters The jaded underworld was riding high Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky And as the nail sunk in the cloud the rain was warm and soaked the crowd [Chorus] Lord, here comes the flood We’ll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent, in any still alive It’ll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you’re running dry
When the flood calls You have no home, you have no walls In the thunder crash You’re a thousand minds, within a flash Don’t be afraid to cry at what you see The actors gone, there’s only you and me And if we break before the dawn they’ll use up what we used to be
Lord, here comes the flood We’ll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent, in any still alive It’ll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you’re running dry
Lord, here comes the flood We’ll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent, in any still alive It’ll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you’re running dry
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close, I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information (I) just had to trust imagination My heart going boom boom boom “Son,” he said “Grab your things, I’ve come to take you home.” [?]
To keep in silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Though my life was in a rut ‘Til I thought of what I’d say Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom boom boom “Hey” he said “Grab your things I’ve come to take you home.” (Ay, back home.)
When illusion spin her net I’m never where I want to be And liberty she pirouette When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes but still can see No one taught them etiquette I will show another me
Today I don’t need a replacement I’ll tell them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom boom boom “Hey” I said “You can keep my things, they’ve come to take me home.”
