J'marchais dans la rue, Paris était gris J'pensais à toi, j'espérais t'croiser en fait J'me souvenais plus exactement de ton visage Si ton nez était droit, si ta bouche était pleine Mais j'me souvenais du goût de tes lèvres J'espérais te croiser à tous les coins de rues Tous les garçons de dos avaient ton allure Mais quand ils se retournaient ce n'était pas toi Personne n'était toi en fait On me disait que c'était un amour d'enfant, qu'il fallait oublier On me disait que c'était bête, ou irrationnel, complètement infondé Mais moi, je m'en foutais Je savais que là où tu étais, tu pensais la même chose J'marchais dans la rue et Paris restait gris Les murs étaient les mêmes, les gens étaient les mêmes Tout était pareil sauf toi Tout était pareil, mais toi t'étais pas là Je savais que là où tu étais, tu pensais la même chose J'marchais dans la rue et Paris restait gris Les murs étaient les mêmes, les gens étaient les mêmes Tout était pareil sauf toi Tout était pareil, mais toi t'étais pas là Je savais que là où tu étais, tu pensais la même chose J'marchais dans la rue et Paris restait gris

I'm just a psycho with spare time Once I get my head right I'm picking up the pieces That we've chosen to ignore Babe, I've got my hands tied Back against a landslide Wondering how I've wound up On the wrong side of your door You know some of us found sunshine But some of us found more It's part and parcel for the course I wanna be part of something more You should've known I wasn't sure You're keeping quiet, I'm keeping score I've thrown my vices to the wind I'm better than I was I've been in crisis since the crib I've been painfully impulsive But ambitious Only life's repetitious As it is Your house we painted gravestone gray I needed more than what I had Oh, what an optimistic day Those memories are ironclad I'm twice the man I could've been I only think that when I'm sad I'll take it easy, thank you, Glenn But I'm just as bad, I'm just as bad But you didn't even let me say goodbye Was that really your decision? You tend to leave me high and dry Bad ideas come to fruition I'm in decline The rest of life is declining for you I've thrown my vices to the wind I'm better than I was I've been in crisis since the crib I've been painfully impuls- But you didn't even let me say goodbye Was that really your decision? You tend to leave me high and dry Bad ideas come to fruition But ambitious Only life's repetitious As it is As it is

Childhood living is easy to do The things that you wanted, I bought them for you Graceless lady, you know who I am You know I can't let you slide through my hands Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild horses couldn't drag me away I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain And now you've decided to show me the same No sweeping exits or offstage lines Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away Faith has been broken and tears must be cried Let's do some living after we die Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday

Picture myself as a thin white child Back to the day I was born on They slapped me into line as it crossed my mind I've felt better I've felt worse This is my life and it's all very well But never again As they say "We've been robbed" And don't you know that this time Love, just love yourself like no one else Love, it's enough They can say what they like but they still can't take that Distance myself from the things I'd like but Everyone has something I need Don't let me wake up & find All those others leaving me behind If you don't have a clue about life Then I'm happy to say Neither have I although I'm not going to shrug my shoulders & suck my thumb This time Cos there's something I deserve Love, just love yourself like no one else Love, it's enough They can say what they like but they still can't take that Picture my house in a postcard town Picture a bomb in the sky History at yout door Who could ask for more? I've felt better So kill me with love Just love yourself like no one else Love, it's enough They can say what they like but they still can't take that Time's so scarce where I come from Let them say what they like Cos they still can't take your love

And I'm standing on a platform Now I'm staring from a train And all the trees roll back beside but I'm so oblivious To the dark to the light It's all the same You gave me so much And now it's of the earth And it makes me cry And it makes me cry It makes me cry It can make me cry And you're standing here beside me In a picture in a frame And your voice could never fade it's so familiar Things you said in my head Every day You gave me so much And now it's of the earth And it makes me cry And it makes me cry It makes me cry It can make me cry You're with me so much Though you're never with me anymore And it makes me cry And it makes me cry And it makes me cry It can make me cry Hoo, and it makes me cry And it makes me cry Yeah, and it makes me cry It can make me cry

Dig down to the earth here outside Lose my mind here any day now Don't be sad, we're only half way there O no, that's what I call home You remember the hills we slithered down "I'm not going anywhere" You lied Hell on my own Hell here on my own And don't go imagining that time is medicine Mark those days and swallow your pills Proud of my wise head on young shoulders Too bad there was nothing there at all Hell on my own Hell here on my own And it was such a really cold hand I held as the wind sighed "I'm not going & how could I lie?" Just be glad there's no way back there I need another look at before Though heaven knows how I'd ever Make my way back there And I need another look at before Although heaven knows how I'd ever Make my way back there Though I know it's hopeless And I realise it's nowhere Hell here on my own
