the sinead version




It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you'll do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

all the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

on your blog...

Hey, could you stand another drink
I'm better when I don't think
It seems to get me through
Say, d'you wanna spin another line
Like we had a good time
Not that I need proof

Swell, we're living in a hotel
And someones ringing my bell
In a room without a view
Hey, heard you read another book
Should I take another look
Who am I
Without you

ahhhoooo
ahhh
ahhoooo
ahhh
ahh

Hey, could you stand another drink?
I'm better when I don't think
It seems to get me through
Say, d'you wanna spin another line
Like we had a good time
Not that I need proof

Swell, we're living in a hotel
Someone's ringing my bell
In a room without a view
Hey, heard you read another book
Should I take another look?
Who am I
Without you

ahhhoooo
ahhh
ahhoooo
ahhh
ahh

lalalalalalalalala
lalalalalala...

 

[tufty79]

i've not dared look those up

 

[rollinder]

no place where sunlight falls
the way it falls in a bar
your nervious(?) to me
a name begining with d,
the movie all about streetcar

But I had to push my luck too far
had to play the superstar

Don't tell me you ain't heard of down at the lucky ?(can't make out last word)
tell me you ain't heard..tearing me apart
said I'm divorcing Jack (yeah yeah)
? gonna run out the back (yeah yeah)

Memories play strange ? ? poker in the desert sun
and the moon looked like it was made out of books
that no-one understands

(unidentifiable backing vocals)
Things happen in crazy fashion
and I'm divorcing Jack
?Paris style? and a buckle of hide
and a cowhorn cadillac

I had to push my luck too far
had to play the superstar
Don't tell me you ain't heard
of down at the lucky part?
Don't tell me you ain't heard of...(fades out)

 

[tufty79]

We were lying in bed, staring at the moon and I was wondering if I was supposed to be in love. But we couldn't quite decide if the moon was full. But I thought, well, tonight it's full enough. And this morning I was casually trying to sniff my fingers on the way back home. I could smell you and I felt like a little boy. And we've been on these open seas far too long So take a breath, take my hand, there's land ahoy.

 

[tufty79]

I Would've Liked Me A Lot Last Night
I need them for headaches, I need them for skin.
And we need it for a night out and sometimes for a night in.
And the room stinks of poppers, the bog's full of bile.
At least I'm not shitting blood again. I always say it's the worst in a while.
I hear we had a good time. I hear I was a riot.
I would've like me a lot last night,
I could've put me to shame last night.
I feel out with my lover, I fell out with my friends.
I'm still trying to decide where the weekend ends.
No solids on Sunday, we can eat in the week.
You said I was fucked - you've got some fucking cheek
You said you had a good time.
You said I was a riot.
I really loved you a lot last night.
I could've hugged you to death last night.

 

[Vixiha]

I'd spend my days alone
I used to stay at home
Lost in seclusion there.
Like I was in a cell
A captured heart as well
Surrounded by despair.
Darkness filled my soul
Losing all control.

Down on the streets below
Bright city lights would glow.
The energy would rise
And through the heat I'd gaze
Still counting empty days.
With fire in my eyes
Living through this hell
Can I break this spell.

Fever. You set my soul on fire.
Fever. You fill me with desire.
Fever. You always get it right.
Fever. All day and all night.

Then one night as I walked
I heard your body talk
I saw a shooting star.
In some magnetic trance
Our beating hearts would dance
And crash down from afar.
Oh how strange fate is
Never dreamed of this.

So destiny has brought us
Oh so close together
We were like angels in the night
Living the dream
At last I'll be with you forever.
And all at once it feels so right.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Angel - put sad wings around me now
Protect me from this world of sin
So that we can rise again

Oh angel - we can find our way somehow
Escaping from the world we're in
To a place where we began

And I know we'll find
A better place and peace of mind
Just tell me that it's all you want - for you and me
Angel won't you set me free

Angel remember how we'd chase the sun
Then reaching for the stars at night
As our lives had just begun

When I close my eyes I hear your velvet wings and cry
I'm waiting here with open arms - oh can't you see
Angel shine your light on me

Oh angel we'll meet once more - I'll pray
When all my sins are washed away
Hold me inside your wings and stay
Oh! angel take me far away

Put sad wings around me now
Angel take me far away
Put sad wings around me now
So that we can rise again

 

[tufty79]

Could you tell the enchantment I say goodbye
I met a girl named disillusionment
Could you tell her I made the headlines
This boy draws wings on everything
Could you tell her to check the headlines
Said boy finds angels in the river

You know I dreamed about you
for 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years

Birds are flying out of water
underneath the sky
i run up to the rainbow girl just to pass her by
and Ill never have a change of heart
my swan will never sing
I have no heart
the swan is gone
and now i wear the wings

You know, I dreamed about you for 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you (for 29 years)
I missed you for 29 years

You know I dreamed about you for 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you for 29 years before I saw you

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone
a little more stupid, a little more scared
every minute more unprepared

I made a mistake in my life today
everything I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
way out of sync from the beginning

I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I’m very, very frightening
I’ll overdo it

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
and not thinking of my dick
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
from one side of it to the other

I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I’m very, very frightening
I’ll overdo it

You know I dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for
for twenty-nine years

You know I dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for
for twenty-nine years

 

[tufty79]

been trying to show you over and over
look at these,
my child-bearing hips
look at these, my ruby-red ruby lips
look at these, my work strong-arms
you've got to see my bottle full of charm
lay it all at your feet
you turn around and say back to me
he said
sheela-na-gig, you exhibitionist

better wash that man right out of my hair
-"just like the first time, said you didn't care"
-"heard it before, no more"
-"turn the corner, another one there "
-"heard it before"

he said
sheela-na-gig, you exhibitionist
put money in your idle hole he said
"wash your breasts, i don't want to be
unclean" he said
"please take those dirty pillows away from me"

 

[Silva]

(Insert Monday's Do It Better lyrics)

'cause I really don't have a clue.

 

[tufty79]

I move across, innocence lost
All flashing pulsar
I move across the earth in my new pattern shirt
I pass satellites

"You’re so bitter," your complaint
I can’t get you anything.
I don’t know who you’re livin for
I don’t you at all anymore.

I’d sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this.
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me

I can’t taste it
I’m tired and naked.
I don’t know what I’m hungry for
I don’t know what I want anymore

I move across, candy floss
I move like a tank
I move across the room
With a heart full of gloom
I’m stronger than you think.

Oh my peer,
Your veneer is wearing thin and cracking.
The surface and forms underneath,
Underneath is lacking.

I’d sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this.
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me

I couldn’t taste it.
I’m tired and naked.
I don’t know what I’m hungry for.
I don’t know what I want anymore.

You move across, innocence lost,
All static and desire,
You’re blue in the face from navel gaze,
You set yourself on fire.

You strip down and lay yourself out,
I know you can’t fake it,
But are you tired and naked?
Are you tired and naked?

I’d sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this.
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me

I couldn’t taste it
I’m tired and naked.
I don’t know what I’m hungry for.
I don’t know what I want anymore.

 

[tufty79]

I think I saw you riding in a car,
You looked happy for a woman
Black fingers in your mouth and a white,
And a white pearl choker.

My head plays it over and over,
Don't interupt me.
I think I saw you reaching for a glass,
With your lanky white arms,
Nothing else moves that way, are you kidding me?
My head plays it over and over,
Don't interupt me.

All dolled-up in straps, all colored in
Now, love, where have you been?
Dolled-up in staps, all colored in
Now, love, where have you been?
Where have you been?

I think I saw you walking in the city,
Hips like boy's,
The sun fell behind you and never stood up.
My head plays it over and over.
I think I heard you singing,
'Oh poor sky, don't cry on me
Did somebody break your heart again?
Oh poor sky, don't cry on me
Are you gonna fall apart again?'
My head plays it over and over.

All dolled-up in straps, all colored in
Now, love, where have you been?
Dolled-up in staps, all colored in
Now, love, where have you been?
Where have you been?

Oh poor sky, don't cry on me
Did somebody break your heart again?
Oh poor sky, don't cry on me
Did somebody break your heart again?
Oh poor sky, don't cry on me
Are you gonna fall apart again?
Oh poor sky, don't cry on me
Are you gonna fall apart again?

[Callie]

People they aint no good

To our love send a dozen white lilies
To our love send a coffin of wood
To our love let aal the pink-eyed pigeons coo
That people they just ain't no good
To our love send back all the letters
To our love a valentine of blood
To our love let all the jilted lovers cry
That people they just ain't no good

It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They can comfort you, some even try
They nurse you when you're ill of health
They bury you when you go and die
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They'd stick by you if they could
But that's just bullshit
People just ain't no good

 

[rollinder]

Out here in the fields
I fought for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

Sally ,take my hand
We'll travel south crossland
Put out the fire
Don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
So let's get together
Before we get much older

Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
Oh..yeah
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted

 

[rollinder]

You can hear it in the street, see it in the dragging feet,
The word is getting out about control,
Spies they've come and gone, the story travels on,
The only quiet place is inside your soul.
From tree to tree, from you to me,
Traveling twice as fast as on any freeway,
Every single dream, wrapped up in the scheme,
They all get carried on the relay.
Relay, things are brewing,
Relay, something's doing,
Relay, there's a revolution,
Relay, relay, hand me down a solution, yeah.
Pass it on, come on, a relay.
Someone disapproves of what you say and do,
I was asked to see what I could really learn you,
Don't believe your eyes, they're telling only lies,
What is done in the first place don't concern you.
From tree to tree, from you to me,
Traveling twice as fast as on any freeway,
Every single dream wrapped up in the scheme,
They all get carried on the relay.
Relay, things are brewing,
Relay, something's doing,
Relay, there's a revolution,
Relay, relay, hand me down a solution, yeah.
Pass it on, pass it on, pass it on, hey you, pass it on,
We're on the relay, get a moving, get on a moving on,
The relay, the relay, the relay, the relay.

(yes Pete this song was all about the internet in 1971 )

 

[rollinder]

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie

Do ya

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

 

[tufty79]

We dont want to sleep tonight
Still young like that i count the lines
Beside your mouth that smiles now
My arms reach up as you go down
With buried heads we both forget
All of the past and its regret
Wind picks up, the window shakes
We wont hear the morning break

You will cry
And i will cry
Cos all the love's
Alive tonight

Neighbourhoods will try to dream
While you and me we hold and lean
Onto bodies slick and charged
Together just one beating heart
All around us quiet now
We hear the leaves fall to the ground
Morning light upon our bed
An ally while i catch your breath

You will cry
And i will cry
Cos all the love's
Alive tonight
You will cry.....

 

[Strumpet]

I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man, he's just a man.....

I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?

I'm the one...who's always been
So calm, so cool
No lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so........

 

[lintin]

I love the sound of breaking glass
Especially when I'm lonely
I need the noises of destruction
When there's nothing new

Oh nothing new, sound of breaking glass

I love the sound of breaking glass
Deep into the night
I love the sound of its condition
Flying all around

Oh all around, sound of breaking glass
Nothing new, sound of breaking glass
Oh all around, sound of breaking glass
Nothing new, sound of breakin glass
Safe at last sound of breaking glass

I love the sound of breaking glass
Deep into the night
I Iove the work on it can do
Oh a change of mind

Oh change of mind,
Sound of breaking glass
All around, sound of breaking glass
Nothing new, sound of breaklng glass
Breaking glass, sound of breaking glass
Sound of breaking glass

 

[chainsaw cat]

'I like you,
Tessie bear you know it's true,

Friend of mine,

Every line,

Says i doooooo.'

And more like that.

Yes, the Chainsaw Kitten likes Noddy.


Kill me now.

 

[dilute micro]

Welcome to our fortress tall
I'll take some time to show you around
Impossible to break these walls
For you see the steel is much too strong
Computer banks to rule the world
Instruments to sight the stars

Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much

Foreign life forms inventory
Suspended state of cryogenics
Selective amnesia's the story
Believed foretold but who'd suspect
Military intelligence
Two words combined that can't make sense

Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much

If it's raining it's raining tears from eyes
McLean since you've gone all i do is cry

won't somebody help me somebody help me
It can't you see that my baby has left me

she left me reeling and rocking walking the floor
Keeps she left a note last night she won't be back no more
Raining
reeling and rocking walking the floor
she left a note last night she won't be back no more

[rollinder]

Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse
No well...
I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad i haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
that's the impression that I get
have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
You need a strength most don't possess
Or has it ever come down to do or die
You've got to rise above the rest
I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
that's the impression that I get
I'm not a coward,
I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was,
I would pass
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go
I might be a cowards,
I'm afraid of what I might find out
I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Whoch makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad i haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get

 

[rollinder]

Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming
And they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now you're an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star
Get the show on get paid

And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You¹re bundled up now
But wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm
So you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

Hey now you're an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star
Get the show on get paid

And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

Hey now you're an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star
Get the show on get paid

And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars...

Somebody once asked
Could you spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place

I said yep
What a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change

Well the years start coming
And they don't coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go (GO)
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now you're an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star
Get the show on get paid

And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

My white bicycle, my white bicycle

Riding all around the street
Four o'clock and they're all asleep
I'm not tired and it's so late
Moving fast everything looks great.

My white bicycle, my white bicycle

See that man, he's all alone
Looks so happy but he's far from home
Ring my bell, smile at him
Better kick over his garbage bin

My white bicycle, my white bicycle

The rain comes down but I don't care
The wind is blowing in my hair
Seagulls flying in the air

My white bicycle

[Lead]

The lampost holds its head in disgrace
Shines no light upon my face
Through the darkness, we still speed
My white bicycle and me

My white bicycle, my white bicycle

Policeman shouts to stop me speeding
I pretend I havn't seen him
They're one thing I don't believe in
Go Away
My white bicycle, my white bicycle
deededeedeee
oh no the chains broken
Can we stop recording please I think I've had a heart attack

 

[rollinder]

Oh ah ee oo there's absolutely no strife
living the timeless life
I don't need a wife
living the timeless life
If I need a friend I just give a wriggle
Split right down the middle
And when I look there's two of me
Both as handsome as can be
Oh here we go slithering,
here we go slithering
and squelching on
Oh here we go slithering,
here we go slithering
and squelching on
Oh ah ee oo there's absolutely no strife
living the timeless life

 

[Vixiha]

Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our live be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side


So now i come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what i say
So here i am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much i wanted you home


But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay.


(chorus)

 

[Vixiha]

When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh


So you think you're lonely
Well my friend i'm lonely too
I want to get back to my city by the bay
Ooh, ooh


It's sad, oh there's been mornings out on the road without you,
Without your charms,
Ooh, my, my, my

 

[Vixiha]

You make me weep and wanna die
Just when you said we'd try
Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other


When i'm alone all by myself
You're out with someone else
Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other


You're tearin' me apart
Every day, every day
You're tearin' me apart
Oh what can i say?
You're tearin' me apart


It won't be long, yes till you're alone
When your lover, oh, he hasn't come home
Cause he's lovin' oo, he's touchin',
He's squeezin' another


He's tearin' you apart
Every day, every day
He's tearin' you apart
Oh girl what can you say?
Cause he's lovin', touchin' another
Now it's your turn, girl to cry
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na

 

[Vixiha]

You never call me up
When i'm alone at night.
What can this poor boy do,
When he's hopelessly in love with you?
So i will tell you now
This love is fallin' down.
Just what more can i do,
When i'm hopelessly in love with you?


Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love with you.


So i will tell you this,
Our love is in a fix.
Just what more can i do.
When i'm hopelessly in love with you?


You never call me up
When i'm alone at night.
What can this poor boy do,
When he's hopelessly in love with you?


Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love with you


Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
I'm hopelessly in love with you


Oh, bye-bye, baby
The party's over,
I have gone away.
The party's over,
I have gone away.
