Lyrics

1.
Take on Me
We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll Be
Stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me:
"It's no better to be safe than sorry."

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh, the things that you say
Is it life or
Just to play my worries away?
You're all the things
I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Train of Thought
He likes to have the morning paper's
Crossword solved
Words go up words come down
Forwards backwards twisted round
He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase
Disappears into an office
It's another working day

And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of nked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more than meets the eye
Oh, a stranger's face he carries with him

He likes a bit of reading on the subway home
A distant radio whistling tunes that nobody knows
At home a house awaits him, He unlocks the door
Thinking once there was a sea here
But there never was a door

And his thoughts are full of strangers
And his eyes to numb to see
And nothing that he knows of
And nowhere where he's been
Was ever quite like this

And his thoughts...

And at heart
He's full of strangers
Doging on his train of thought
Train of thought

Hunting High and Low
Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She's sound asleep and she's sweeter now
Than the wildest dream could have seen her
And I Watch her slipping away

Though' I know I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to lengths I'll go

To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She's the sweetest love I could find

So I guess I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

Hunting High and Low
High
Do you know what it means to love

I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me she's got to go away

I'll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you
Watching me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and low

The Blue Sky
I find it hard to breathe
As life just eats away
At the faces that surround me
They look tired today

The lady at my table
Doesn't want me here
I just want to talk to her

But would she laugh at my accent
And make fun of me
It doesn't seem like this
Blue sky's here for me

There are no girls in here
As far as I can see
Only pin-up posters
Looking down at me

Watching papercups of coffee
Growing cold before my eyes
All the things I see
That make me realize

I'm in this big world without you
Nothing to my name
I never knew that
Blue sky meant such pain

I'm dying to be different
In the coffee shop
I've lived on borrowed strength
Now my supplies are cut

Though I'm older than my looks
And older than my years
I'm too young to take on
My deepest fears

Oh, I used to be confused
But now I just don't know
Since you left I've been watching
Blue skies come and go
5.
Living a Boy's Adventure Tale
I've fixed my dwelling for the night
Lights in pairs come passing by where I hide
I need some time now on my own
Leave my loneliness alone
To lick my wounds
Night has found me just in time
to help me close my eyes one more time

Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
Living a boy's adventure tale
For so many days
I'm living a boy's adventure tale
Can't escape, if I wanted to
Living a boy's adventure tale
I may be dreaming but I feel awake

I've been lost in so many places
Seeked love in so many faces
A change of weather, the rain pours down
My head in hands, pressed to the ground
And where am I supposed to go now

Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
Living a boy's adventure tale
Living a boy's adventure tale
a voice I hear Living a boy's adventure tale
Singing a lullaby for me
Living a boy's adventure tale
Because of you
Living a boy's adventure
Oh you know it's true
Living a boy's adventure tale
In so many ways
For so many days
I love you.
I love you
So many ways

The Sun Always Shines on TV
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
to me...

I reached inside myself
And found nothing there
To ease the pressure off
My ever worried mind

All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me
These days

Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands
Of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time

Touch me
I reached inside myself today
Give all your love
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep the troubles distant

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
7.
And You Tell Me
Please don't hurt me
I have told you
All my love is all I've got
And tomorrow is the day
When I for your sake
I'm coming back
And you tell me that I don't love you

Trying hard to make you jealous
Trying harder to make you stay
Days are longer, nights are crazy
It's so strange when you're away
And you tell me that I don't love you

Because I love you I will show you
All the faces my love can have
So please let me come to you this time
And you tell me that I don't love you
You know that it's just not true
8.
Love Is Reason
My breath is coming fast
And as I make a start
You turn to go, oh oh
I'll do what you want me to
I cry at the thought of the loss of a heart

Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason enough

My morals are changing fast
I told you it wouldn't last
You turn and go, oh oh
I'll be what you want me to be
I die at the though of the loss of your heart

Oh, love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason enough

I Dream Myself Alive
Dream myself alive
I dream myself alive

You can't deny
There's something dark against the light
All I can say It doesn't have to be this way

We'll be chasing our tails madly
See days pass like wild fire
Right from the start
I knew this world would break my heart

I dream myself alive
Dream myself alive
I dream myself alive
Dream myself alive

What can it mean
I'm drawing pictures of the same
Right from the start
I knew this girl would break my heart

Dream myself alive
Dream myself alive
I dream myself alive
Dream myself alive

Here I Stand and Face the Rain
Help me,
I need your love
Don't walk away
The dark scares me so
We're nothing apart
Let's stay friends forever
Forever

Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's
Gonna be the same again

I fear for what tomorrow brings
Trust me for who I am
Place all your pains into these hands
I've got nothing to say
But let's stay friends forever
Forever

Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's
Gonna be the same again

I fear for what tomorrow brings
Here I stand and face the pain
Of knowing nothing's
Gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings
Here I stand and face the rain
Knowing nothing's
Gonna be the same again
Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's
Gonna be the same again
