独乐乐——Pale Saints

The Comforts of Madness 1990

i can recognize the lies(?)
where everything is fine
and everything is mine (?)

i can see what's in your head
the things you haven't said
are hiding in your head

watch the planets change their shape
it's keeping me awake
it's more than i can take

Fell From The Sun

you fell from my sun
now you're feeling so cold
never thought morning
could feel so alone
they say you've got to live by doing(?)
she says she felt so alone(?)
they say every day is ???
like the sun(?)

staring at cloud
and your rains falling down
clouds in the sky
and the hills turn around
they say every day you're living
should feel as though it were the last
they say hold on to that feeling
???

you fell from my sun
now you're feeling so cold
never though morning
could feel so alone
they say you've got to live by doing
she felt ???
they say you've got to keep on trying
for the sun
for the sun

Insubstantial

come hither
say these words
either way
i will ???
hide(?) yourself
don't believe in those who lead(?)

trade(?) the way
underneath
you must see
they decieve
oddity(?)
don't break the spell
don't catch(?) yourself(?)

banks of fire(??)
heads(?) collide

Language Of Flowers

see me a snapshot
narrating my previous life
and a mountain of other lies
numbers and letters and letters
surfacing from a sea of
treacle blackened stone(?)
and carrying me back home
i hear the language of flowers
and now i don't hear anything else

voices from nowhere seducing me
to all the lyrics(?) of the world
the balance has been disturbed
time stumbles drunkenly
wild lives are frozen(?)
until they're born again
ripening in the sun
i hear the language of flowers
and now i don't hear anything else

i wasn't cut out for this
but my heart was(?)
i wasn't cut out for this

Little Hammer

pounding away in the back of my head
until i've almost lost myself
and those red and black patterns
in which nothing happens
have made me sleep

a beautiful voice is a nail
being pulled out of wood
carry on little hammer
you were always my favourite toy

when the world's dead to me
in my soft ??? fortunate cushion of pins(?)
is a soldier
slicing thin(?) through(?) thin(?)
the unfortunate truth sneaking in

Sea Of Sound

your body's cold
you're on the bed
i'm the only one
who knows you're there
i'm reeling in that silver line
the cord that brings you back in time
reality obscures my view
the pain of wanting to
when am i going to be a part of you?

your eyes are closed
they're in your hair
but i'll make it
just say you care
when every one has had their fill
you're holding on although you're ill
i watch the ripples in the storm
until i have the brew
and then i throw them evening(?)
over you

how can you want to stay like this?
the choice is ignorance or bliss
we'll go together don't be scared
it won't take long we'll soon be there
when we arrive just look around
there's so much to be found
we'll sail away upon a sea of sound

Sight Of You

the sight of you
the sight of you
makes me feel blue
makes me feel blue
the things you said
the things you said
make me feel bad
my heart is sad

i think of him
i think of him
soaked all in red
i wish him dead
you say that he
you say that he's
nothing like me
but how can that be?

what can i do?
what can i say?
the world was large
and i felt very small
what's gonna happen?
how will i know
when things are back
the way they used to be before?

the sight of you
the sight of you
makes me feel blue
i feel so blue
the things you said
the things you said
make me feel bad
my heart is sad

Time Thief

thought we could breathe easily
it's not often
instead it descends
to sew our dreams
and mail us into ???

chase it cos it's dangerous on foot
you know i'd help you if i wanted to

try to fill a hole inside this pain
lives inside this house
lives in both of us
??? realise

frightened of the world pretend that
it's your favourite daddy shirt
wear it we're in outer space
the money's falling through the wall again
lives inside this house
lives in both of us
??? realise

round and round and round we go
the words are breezing and there's always
one more clue to comprehend
??? jump into your head
lives inside this house
lives in both of us
??? realise

True Coming Dream

are you still here
??? rushes on
and you think it's wrong
they're only in your head
things you create
just the empty shells
of ??? yesterdays

so you never breathe a word
selfish (?) with yourself
until you break in two
??? all you want to do
until your dreams come true

drugged sensibilities
sketches i have made
???
???
???
??? all you want to do
until your dreams come true

Way The World Is

this is the way
the way it has to be
this is the way
the way we all will go

slaving away for a bit of peace
watching our money as it rolls on in

time will get you in the end
and take away the things
the things you thought you had
time will take away your friends
and leave you all alone
alone until the end

this is the way
the way it has to be
and this is the way
the way we all will go

You Tear The World In Two

tear the world in two
and choose a half
but(?) look inside you
you are what you are
i've seen it through
and you will too
i can tell that you
feel these things too

???
and teach yourself to walk
into the hole
exploding in your heart
i've seen it through
and you will too
i can tell that you
feel these things too

i've seen it through
and you will too
i can tell that you
feel these things too
you tear the world in two
i'll destroy you
