She was a Jezebel
This Brixton queen
Livin' the life
Like a back seat dream
Tellin' me lies
When the truth was clear
I think she knew
What I wanted to hear
Spinnin' me 'round
Like a wheel on fire
Walkin' a tightrope
On love's highwire
A fatal attraction
Is where I'm at
There's no escape for me

[ chorus: ]
I just wanna be close to you
And do all the things
you want me to
I just wanna be close to you
And show you the way I feel
I feel love
When I'm lyin' in the
midnight hour
Holding you just like a dream
Love is never what it seems
When we touch
And you're holding me
the way you do
Girl you make my dreams come true
You make my dreams come true!

[ Chorus ]
She was a Gemini
[on the cusp of Mars
She holds me back
or she goes too far
Winding me up
just to let me down
Soul emotional
gagged and bound
There's more to this
than meets the eye
A devil woman locked inside
With a full moon rising
I was scared
I think I was possessed

[ Chorus ]
Every time your body's
next to mine
Somethin' deep inside of me
Wants to love you endlessly
When we touch
Girl, you don't know
How it makes me feel
I just can't believe it's real
I can't believe it's real!

[ chorus / break ]
She had an attitude
I can't explain
You never know if you're in frame
Tyin' me up
with elastic words
I'm on a countdown
til I get hurt
Her blood was hot
She burned so bright
A neon sign there in the night
It's hard to say if
I went too far
My heart still bears a scar
I just want to be close to you
I just want to be close to you

[ Chorus with Verse 1 ]
I want to be close to you...

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
So when I hear about
The hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes

We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious
We can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how
The forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes

We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted by
How clever we are
Why should one baby
Feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
What will I think of me
The day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes

Saltwater wells in my eyes

Holy shit
It's comin' down so heavy
It's comin' down so heavy
Wild thoughts are escaping and the skies are ripped open
I doubt you'd wanna be me
Flash of anger on wakin'
That's not me
More than I thought we'd ever see
Oh ???

She dismisses me so coldly
I can't freak
She's only emotional bankruptcy
Don't bring paranoia in with you
Leave the ugly fucker on the streets
Now my brain wants sunglasses too
Emotional striptease
Do you fancy it?
Do you fancy it?
Do you fancy it?
Do you fancy it?
The freakshow in my head
now has a public gallery


This is battling evil

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue,
Thought I heard you talking softly.
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you.

What is happening to it all?
Crazy some say-
Where is the life that I recognise?
Gone away.

But I won't cry for yesterday.
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive.

Passion or coincidence once prompted me to say-
Pride will tear us both apart.
Well now pride's gone out the window, cross the rooftops, runaway.
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.

What is happening to me?
Crazy some say.
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away.

But I won't cry for yesterday.
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive.

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed,
Feared today; forgot tomorrow.
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need,
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk-
Blown away.

Just blowing away.

But I won't cry for yesterday.
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive.

Any world is my world
Every world is my world
