Holes In My Skin
03:51

When the lights went down I said to myself
I will never be here again
I have never seen so much sin
In the world
When the lights went out I said to myself
I will never come back again
I have never seen so much sin
In the world
I was sixteen then
When the light poured in
And it tore those holes in my skin
Oh the fire that it lit within
It promised good
And the wind stood still in the Wellington hills
It only happens now and then
You got to take your chances when
The going’s good
Lay me down
Let me sleep
When the lights went out I said to myself
I had better come back again
I have never seen so much sin
In the world
And the wind blew chill in the Wellington hills
Like a kiss from your oldest friend
I will never be the same again
But if I could
Oh if I could
Punch holes in my skin

Black Heart
04:32

Do I have a black heart baby?
I’ve been thinkin ‘bout someone else
It’s no reflection on you
It’s a thing that I do
And I just can’t help myself
Do I have a black heart baby?
I’ve been wondering if it’s true
If the way that we feel
Is a permanent deal
Or just a phase we’re going through?
Do I have a black heart baby?
There are days I’m lost at sea
Where I’m offered a dance
By the ghost of a chance
In a haze of possibilities
Do I have a black heart baby?
Is there something inside that stopped
Has a wire come loose
Can we patch up the fuse
With the spark that kicked things off
Do I have a black heart baby?
I’ve been thinking about someone else
It’s no reflection on you
It’s just a thing that I do
And I just can’t help myself
Do I have a black heart baby?
Am I alone in being this way?
We all love to pretend
And to wonder what might have
Been on a another day
Do I have a black heart baby?

Lonely Night
04:17
|

|
So grit your teeth
And find your feet out in the smoky air
There are lions on the corners
Snakes are in her hair
And now that you’re gone
Changing
Fight the feeling
Leaves you reeling on the other side
I left money on the table
And I’m out alive
Now that you’re gone
Changing
I never wanted never needed never wondered
If you’d be alright
I never wanted never needed
To be back again in this old fight
And it’s just one more lonely night
So put your pedal to the metal
When you’re on your own
There’s a light on in the window
But there’s no-one home
And now that you’re gone
Changing
I never wanted never needed never wondered
If you’d be alright
I never wanted never needed
To be back again in this old fight
And it’s just one more lonely night

I Give In
04:28
|

|
Lying as the fire falls cold
Couldn’t find a way to go
Watching as the wheels they spin
I give in
I give in
Leaving all the ghosts behind
Couldn’t find a way to die
Watching as the wheels they spin
I give in
I give in
Silently the feeling grows
Silently the truth takes hold
Watching as the wheels they spin
I give in
I give in
Raging at the promise they sold
I don’t know I don’t know
Even when they lose they win
I give in
I give in
Bones like metal in your bloodstream
Signs I’d never been so sure
Time it could have been a nice dream
Now we’ll never know for sure
Keep me in mind as I let go
Keep me in mind and I won’t go
Turn out the lights
Hope in my soul
I don’t know
I don’t know
Oh I can’t win
I give in
I give in
Hope in my soul
Let me go
Let me go
Oh I can’t win
I give in
I give in
I give in

Love Rescue Me
03:40
|
|||
|
Go keep your silence to yourself
Lock the door and find your way to someone else
You must be made of solid steel
But I have records here that you were real
Keep me locked inside a room that you’ll forget
Remember when you said that it’s not over yet
Hanging on till there is nothing left to see
Oh love won’t you rescue me
I hear you walking on the roof
You’re upstairs making yourself nice for someone new
I am a song that you won’t hear
But I am with you now, somewhere
Keep me locked inside a room that’ll you forget
Remember when you said that it’s not over yet
Hanging on till there is nothing left to see
Oh love won’t you rescue me
