    Lyrics

    Gone, long gone

    Blink and I’ll be gone, gone, gone

    Leave this world of wrong, wrong, wrong

    Leave it far behind

    And although my secret’s gone

    I’ll try to carry on

    If I must, I’ll get along

    Without you

    Gone, long gone

    Leave this world of wrong, wrong, wrong

    Beyond the pale, beyond the dawn

    Flee these mortal bonds

    No one knows I can’t be wrong

    So I’ll sing the same old song

    I tried to be strong

    For you

    Why have you left me?

    Amongst the tall trees

    I know I gave her all I have

    And I tied her heart in ribbons

    Tied her heart in ribbons

    Tied her heart in ribbons

    And bows

    And I’m gone

    Oh yes, I’m gone

    And I’m lost without you

    I’m lost within you

    And I’m gone

    So gone

    Long gone

    Lyrics

    Born to please, every simple need

    I stand alone in my thoughts indeed

    Hate you

    For ever making me

    I’m in you, I’m your anything

    And I- want you

    And I- need you

    And all you are is brand new

    And I- need you

    Come to me, let me hold you still

    I’m so tired, just as tired as you

    Take me for anyone but me

    All that you feel is never true

    And I- want you

    And I- need you

    And all you are is brand new

    And I- need you

    When you say that you are

    Forever my star

    Could never let you go, no, no

    And never let you know

    Let roar these fears

    To the whore of my tears

    Pure as a lie, I pour to your eyes

    Suck you like the sap from a tree

    Honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah

    And I- want you

    And I- need you

    And all you are is brand new

    And I- need you

    When you say that you are

    Forever my star

    Could never let you go, no, no

    Never let you know

    And I- want you

    And I- need you

    And all you are is brand new

    And I- need you

    Lyrics

    Shakedown 1979
    Cool kids never have the time
    On a live wire
    Right up off the street
    You and I should meet
    Junebug skipping like a stone
    With the headlights pointed at the dawn
    We were sure we’d never see an end to it all
    And I don’t even care
    To shake these zipper blues
    And we don’t know
    Just where our bones will rest
    To dust I guess
    Forgotten and absorbed
    Into the earth below
    Double cross the vacant and the bored
    They’re not sure just what we have in store
    Morphine city slippin’ dues
    Down to see
    That we don’t even care
    As restless as we are
    We feel the pull
    In the land of a thousand guilts
    And poured cement
    Lamented and assured
    To the lights and towns below
    Faster than the speed of sound
    Faster than we thought we’d go
    Beneath the sound of hope
    Justine never knew the rules
    Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
    No apologies ever need be made
    I know you better than you fake it
    To see that we don’t even care
    To shake these zipper blues
    And we don’t know
    Just where our bones will rest
    To dust I guess
    Forgotten and absorbed
    Into the earth below
    The street heats the urgency of now (written: sound)
    As you can see there’s no one around

    Lyrics

    God knows I'm helpless to speak

    On my own behalf

    God is as helpless as me

    Caught in the negatives

    We all just do as we please

    False transmissions

    I hope god forgives me

    For my transgressions

    It's what you want

    To know no consequences

    It's what you need

    To fucking bleed

    It's all too much

    God knows I'm restless and weak

    Full of piss and vinegar

    God knows we sow what we reap

    In the dirt of grandeur

    When the darkness comes to me

    And it fixes its gaze on me

    God knows I'm helpless

    It's what you want

    To know no consequences

    It's what you need

    To fucking bleed

    It's all to much

    God knows I'm helpless

    You break your back

    For what you can't have

    You can't turn back

    God knows I'm helpless

    Lyrics

    The useless drag of another day
    The endless drags of a death rock boy
    Mascara sure and lipstick lost
    Glitter burned by restless thoughts
    Of being forgotten
    And in your sad machines
    You’ll forever stay
    Desperate and displeased-with whoever you are
    And you’re a star
    Somewhere-he pulls his hair down-over a frowning smile
    A hidden diamond you cannot find
    A secret star that cannot shine over to you
    May the king of gloom, be forever doomed
    And in your sad machines
    You’ll forever stay
    Burning up in speed
    Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines
    The useless drags, the empty days
    The lonely towers of long mistakes
    To forgotten faces and faded loves
    Sitting still was never enough
    And if you’re giving in, then you’re giving up
    Cause in your sad machines
    You’ll forever stay
    Burning up in speed
    Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines

    Lyrics

    And on her doorstep

    I saw that I was blind

    I'd forsaken

    What was mine

    What had mattered

    Mattered little now

    We had shattered

    Apart somehow

    Ooh

    I can't help but stay the same

    I remain true to my name

    Time to get up

    And take the long walk home

    For the first time

    I go alone

    Do you remember

    When we first met?

    Chasing down the alleyways

    Behind my dad's

    Ooh

    I can't help but stay the same

    I remain true to the name

    Of lovers past

    Good enough to lose

    Good enough to choose you, too

    Ooh

    I can't help but stay the same

    Ooh

    I remain true to the name

    Of lovers past

    Good enough to lose

    Good enough to choose you, too

    Lyrics

    Candy cane walks down

    To build a bonfire, to break my fall

    My baby, my sweet thing

    Just maybe we could lose ourselves this time

    King of the horseflies, dark prince of death

    His tragic forces are heaven sent

    In sweet things, in a lovers breath

    In knowing this was meant to be the last

    A go-go-kids, a go-go-style

    A suck suck kiss, a suck suck smile

    As always, in young need

    A veiled promise to never die

    On dead highways, her black beauties roam

    For june angels, so far from home

    For a love lost, a faded picture

    To tread lightning, to ink the lavender skies

    So get on the bomb

    Lyrics

    Speak to me in a language I can hear
    Humour me before I have to go
    Deep in thought I forgive everyone
    As the cluttered streets greet me once again
    I know I can’t be late, supper’s waiting on the table
    Tomorrow’s just an excuse away
    So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
    The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
    At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
    Steeple guide me to my heart and home
    The sun is out and up and down again
    I know I’ll make it, love can last forever
    Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
    And you can make it last, forever you
    You can make it last, forever you
    And for a moment I lose myself
    Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
    I’ve journeyed here and there and back again
    But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
    Mysteries not ready to reveal
    Sympathies I’m ready to return
    I’ll make the effort, love can last forever
    Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
    Tomorrow’s just an excuse
    And you can make it last, forever you
    You can make it last, forever you
