A boy tries hard
to be a man
His mother takes
him by his hand
If he stops to
think he starts to cry
Oh why?
If you walk away,
walk away
I walk away, walk
away - I will follow
If you walk away,
walk away
I walk away, walk
away - I will follow
I was on the inside
When they pulled
the four walls down
I was looking through
the window
I was lost - I
am found
Walk away, walk
away
I walk away, walk
away - I will follow
If you walk away,
walk away
I walk away, walk
away - I will follow
Your eyes make a
circle
I see you when
I go in there
Your eyes, your
eyes
Your eyes, your
eyes
If you walk away,
walk away
I walk away, walk
away - I will follow
I will follow
I will follow --
I look into
his eyes
They're closed
but I see something
A teacher told
me why
I laugh when old
men cry
My body grows and
grows
It frightens me
you know
The old man tried
to walk me home
I thought he should
have known
Twilight
Twilight - lost
my way
Twilight - can't
find my way
In the shadow boy
meets man
In the shadow boy
meets man --
I'm running in the
rain
I'm caught in a
late night play
It's all - it's
everything
I'm soaking through
the skin
Twilight - darkened
day
Twilight - lost
my way
Twilight - night
and day
Twilight - can't
find my way
Can't find your
way
Can't find my way
Can't find your
way
Twilight - darkened
day
Twilight - lost
my way
Twilight - night
and day
Twilight - can't
find my way
In the shadow boy
meets man
In the shadow boy
meets man --
Say goodnight
She waits for me
to put out the light
When I'm still
She waits to break
my will
O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-oh
O-o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Yes, if I know
the truth about you
She-cat
And in the daylight
A blackbird makes
a violent sight
And when she is
done
She sleeps beside
the one
O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Yes, if I know
the truth about you
She-cat
O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-oh
O-o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Yes, if I know
the truth about you
She-cat
Into the heart
of a child
I stay awhile -
I can go back
Into the heart of
a child
I can smile - I
can go there
Into the heart
Into the heart of
a child
I can go back -
I can stay awhile
Into the heart
Monday morning
- eighteen years are dawning
I say how long
- you say how long
It was one dull
morning
I woke the world
with bawling
I was so sad -
it was so bad
I had a feeling
it was out of control
I had the opinion
it was out of control
Boys and girls go
to school, and girls
They make children
- not like this one
I had a feeling
it was out of control
I had the opinion
it was out of control
I had a feeling
it was out of control
I had the opinion
it was out of control
Out of control
Out of control
I fought fate -
there's blood on the garden gate
The man said: childhood
- it's in his childhood
And one day I'll
die
The choice will
not be mine
Will it be too
late? you can't fight it
I had a feeling
it was out of control
I had the opinion
it was out of control
There's a place
I go and I am far away
There's a TV show
and I can grow
Sometimes the hero
takes me
Sometimes I don't
let go
Hello, hello
There's a picture
book with coloured photographs
There's a comic
strip that makes me laugh
Sometimes the lady
takes me
Sometimes I don't
let go
Hello, hello
Stories for boys
- stories for boys
Stories for boys
- stories for boys
There's a place
I go and it's a part of me
There's a radio
and I will crawl
Sometimes the hero
takes me
Sometimes I can't
let go
Hello, hello
Stories for boys
- stories for boys
Stories for boys
- stories for boys --
A picture in
grey - Dorian Gray
Just me by the
sea
And I felt like
a star
I felt the world
could go far
If they listened
to what I said
Washes my feet
The ocean washes
my feet
Splashes the soul
of my shoes
I'm starting
a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
to the world I left behind
I'm dreaming, you're
awake
If I were sleeping,
what's at stake?
A day without me
Whatever feelings
I've been feeling
What are the feelings
you left behind?
Today's a day without
me
I started a landslide
in my ego
Look from the outside
to the world I left behind
In the world I
left behind
Wipe your eyes
and then let go
To the world I
left behind
Shed a tear and
then let go
Bright morning
lights
Wipe the sleep
from another day's eyes
Turn away from
the wall and there's nothing at all
Being naked and
afraid
In the open space
of my bed
I'll be with you
now
I'll be with you
now
I'll be with you
now
We lie on a cloud
- we lie
Just as I am
I awoke with a
tear on my tongue
I awoke with a
feeling of never before
In my sleep, I
discover the one
But she ran with
the morning sun
I'll be with you
now
I'll be with you
now
I'll be with you
now
We lie on a cloud
- we lie
Another time, another
place - we lie
Another child has
lost the race - we lie
Another time, another
place - we lie
Your time, your
price
Boy, stupid
boy
Don't sit at the
table until you're able to
Toy, broken toy
Shout and shout
- you're inside out
If you don't know
- Electric Co
If you don't know
- Electric Co
Red, running red
Play for real -
talk and feel
Hole in your head
You don't shout
- you're spoon-fed
If you don't know
- Electric Co
If you don't know
- Electric Co
If you don't know
- Electric Co
If you don't know
- Electric Co --
Back to the
cold restless streets at night
I talk to myself
about tomorrow night
Walls of white
protest, a gravestone in name
Who is it now?
it's always the same
Who is it now? who
calls me inside
Are the leaves
on the trees just a living disguise?
I walk the sweet
rain tragi-comedy
I'll walk home
again to the street melody
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh
no
But I know
Shadows and tall
trees
Shadows and tall
trees --
Life through a window,
a discoloured pain
Mrs Brown's washing
is always the same
I walk the sweet
rain tragi-comedy
I'll walk home
again to the street melody
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh
no
But I know
Do you feel in me
anything redeeming?
Any worthwhile
feeling?
Is life like a
tightrope hanging from the ceiling?
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh
no
But I know
Shadows and tall
trees
Shadows and tall
trees --
