It used to be you could not keep your hands from me
You put it down to a special chemistry
A magic kind of thing between you and me

But it's past midnight and I write these words alone
Just another day wasted laying listening to my lonely radio
How do you know when the end has come?

It was love we used to say as we could not wait
For the next time to come
For the magic of the rush

But It's past midnight I write these words alone
Tommorrow I'm going to wake up on my own
How do you know when the end has come?

I don't want you coming around to sit and gloat
Not bothering to take off your baggy unromantic overcoat
I don't want you to see me hurting like this
I don't want you to sit staring at he walls

I want to grab this thing by the balls
I want to pull it to pieces
Iwant to rip the back off this sadness that is becoming us
Iwant to be in your arms tonight
Iwant to be the only one you want to be with tonight

But if you do not want me
If you have to hesitate
If just want to watch me hurt and cry
Play some sad game with my heart and my mind

If you are not feeling strong
Let me be the strength you need
If you do not hold the hope
Who cares what the future lies
As long we are in each others arms tonight
I just want to be the one you want
The way it was meant to be
But the truth is
I'm writing these word alone
It's way past midnight
In the morning once again
I'm going to wake up alone
How do you know when the end has come?

Don't Come Around Too Much(These Days)

April 7/02/00.55a.m

I have smelt the sea
In the wind at Girlington
Prayed to the moon
At the Druids Altar stone
Seen a dead body being found on Harden Moor

Out of the cold wild blood
Out of the red hot sweat
Out of the thunder
Out of the raging storm
Out of the falling hate
There will come a peaceful love grown carefully from the rage

I've drunk a beer with the best at the Mucky Duck
> I cannot report my the theft of my stolen mobile phone
I've had curry that is capitol to the taste
Seen two brothers struggling with their load

Out of the falling hate
Out of the wild and driving rage there comes shining through
A deep and peaceful love

Where there is thunder
May there be sun
Where there is darkness
Let there be a strong a and clear light
May everyone have peace in their hearts as they sleep tonight

I've seen the Avenue lose
I've seen the Celtic win
Bantams nearly forced to close
I've seen the plans
For a new Aire- Valley road
May Everyone in this town
May everyone in this land
May they sleep a peaceful sleep tonight

Out of the ashes of the funeral fire
Out of the crashes of the textile mire
From the galleries at Saltaire
To the statues in Centenery Square
From Windhill & Low Moor they come
The north the south the east the west
May everyone find peace in their heart
When they lay down to sleep tonight
May everyone across the world
Have peace in their hearts tonight.

May Everyone Have Peace In their Hearts When They Sleep Tonight
