Threads of life, they start to tear Hang above the pit of our despair It seems the end is growing near The life you knew will disappear Every human life will overlap and intertwine Create the fabric and the destiny of all mankind Start the fires 'till they surround They start the fires burning until they surround Is there nothing left, nothing left worth fighting for, fighting for? Forevermore, beneath the waterline Sinking further down, I dwell in silence now Awake and face the truth of all that you have lost A tongue-tied explanation raining down from scattered thoughts Start the fires 'till they surround They reinforce their doubts until they draw blood Is there nothing left, nothing left worth fighting for, fighting for? Forevermore, beneath the waterline Sinking further down, I dwell in silence now Forevermore, I will leave this world behind Finally I drown, I dwell in silence now Threads of life, they start to tear Hang above the pit of our despair It seems the end is growing near The life you knew will disappear Forevermore, beneath the waterline Sinking further down, I dwell in silence now Forevermore, I will leave this world behind Finally I drown, I dwell in silence now

Spit your words of fury, Tear your way beneath the skin. Infecting with doubt, A useless web you spin. (Chorus) What is it you hope to gain from this? NOTHING! What is it you hope to prove with this? NOTHING! Hidden away from view You start your fires The child who became king Of the jackels and the liars. (Chorus) What is it you hope to gain from this? NOTHING! What is it you hope to prove with this? NOTHING! Breaking Your Fingers! Silence your voice Breaking Your Fingers! You've made your choice. Words cannot be weapons If they leave no mark Pathetic attack With no bite and all bark (Chorus) What is it you hope to gain from this? NOTHING! What is it you hope to prove with this? NOTHING! Breaking Your Fingers! Silence your voice Breaking Your Fingers! You've made your choice

Since I started being impressed By the things that move me All the treasures that I missed Came back to stand around me And as I curse the wasted time I lift my head to say Thank you God you gave the strength That helped me walk away All the fear and anger Still stays within my heart And I can't recall the last time I imagined they'd depart But this is what I'm going to do When they force me to doubt I'll ask for what I know remains To help me sing them out As rays of sun shine through the clouds To heat the soaking ground So when we come to sing the shouts We'll burn the theatres down Let every disbelieving sneer That looked me in the back Turn, come towards us, and feel the first attack.

Along these broken pavements I let my mind run free The past and the present Seem just the same to me The people I have loved most Among these stones they dwell And in the cleanest language The stories they did tell They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me Depending on your view point This place is blessed or cursed And in the years I've lived here I've seen the best and worst An air of sordid passion A look of dirty grace But not right in your face It's not that kind of place They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me Down greasy potholed roadways I watch the traffic crawl But for the cars and busses I give no thought at all I think about the future I wonder at her health How with this human wealth She does renew herself They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me

I've got to follow the money Gotta go to work Gotta make a living 'Til my body hurts Gotta bite my lip Gotta wreck my health Gotta break my back For my share of wealth I've got to follow the money Gotta go to work Gotta make a living 'Til my body hurts Gotta bite my lip Gotta wreck my health Gotta break my back For my share of wealth I've gotta follow the money Gotta earn my pay I spent everything I earned yesterday Gotta find the cash 'Cause it won't find me So I can feed myself And my family When I left school I was bummin' around I'd smoke and drink and let my mind wander I'd roll out of bed about 12 o'clock I can't do that any longer 'Cause I've gotta follow the money I'm gonna go to work Gonna make a living 'Til my body hurts Gotta bite my lip Gotta wreck my health Gotta break my back For my share of wealth Now I need to toil 'cause it's good for my soul I feel clean when I'm working You can drop all the mystical celtic bull 'Cause that stuff's just jerking, always I'm not saying that I work like my dad I know I don't work like my mum But I'm made of the same stuff, and I'm six-feet tall Gimme the tools, I'll get the job done Gotta follow the money Gotta go to work Gotta make a living 'Til my body hurts Gotta bite my lip Gotta wreck my health Gotta break my back For my share of wealth I've gotta follow the money Gotta earn my pay I spent everything I earned yesterday Gotta find the cash 'Cause it won't find me So I can feed myself And my family Feed myself and my family That's why I'm working I'm working I'm working I'm working I'm working I'm working now

When I was a younger man When I was a silly boy I didn't need a thing I was strong as anything I viewed solitude as a joy But since I met you I'm distraught You wandered in and now I'm caught I never thought I would see Someone so truly good Someone who's so everything I'm not I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home But what if, what if, what if, what If it's not perfect then it's not? But every care I take Nothing I won't forsake To dwell beside what you've got Every time I think about you I think I can't live without you I tell you something I am nothing without you I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home Without you in our home
