I. BOY
1. I Will Follow
I will follow...
I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see
A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry
Oh why
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found
Walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
I will follow
Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes, your eyes...
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway... I will follow
I will follow
I will follow...
2. Twilight
I look into his eyes
They're closed but I see something
A teacher told me why
I laugh when old men cry
My body grows and grows
It frightens me you know
The old man tried to walk me home
I thought he should have known
Twilight...
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, can't find my way
In the shadows boy meets man
In the shadows boy meets man
In the shadows boy meets man
In the shadows boy meets man
I'm running in the rain
I'm caught in a late night play
It's all, it's everything
I'm soaking through the skin
Twilight... darkened day
Twilight... lost my way
Twilight... night and day
Twilight... can't find my way
Can't find your way
Can't find my way
Can't find your way
Twilight... darkened day
Twilight... lost my way
Twilight... night and day
Twilight... can't find my way
In the shadows boy meets man
In the shadows boy meets man
In the shadows boy meets man
In the shadows boy meets ma
3. An Cat Dubh
Say goodnight
She waits for me to
Put out the light
Lay there still
She waits to break my will
Yes, if I know the truth about you...
And in the daylight
A blackbird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the wild
Yes, if I know the truth about you...
4. Into The Heart
Into the heart... of a child
I stay a while... oh, I can go back
Into the heart... of a child
I can smile
I can go there
Into the heart
Into the heart of a child
I can go back
I can stay a while
Into the heart...
5. Out Of Control
Monday morning
Eighteen years of dawning
I say how long
You say how long
It was one dull morning
Woke the world with bawling
It was so sad (so sad)
It was so bad
I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control
Boys and girls
Go to the school and girls
They make children
Not like this one
I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control
I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control
Out of control
I fought fate
There's blood on the garden gate
The man said childhood
It's in his childhood
One day I'll die
The choice will not be mine
Will it be too late
You can't fight it
I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of contro
6. Stories For Boys
There's a place I go
And I am far away
There's a TV show
And I can grow
Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello hello
There's a picture book
With coloured photographs
There's a comic strip
That makes me laugh
Sometimes the lady takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello hello
Stories for boys... stories for boys
Stories for boys... stories for boys
Stories for boys...
There's a place I go
And it's a part of me
There's a radio show
And I will crawl
Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I can't let go
Hello hello
Stories for boys...
7. The Ocean
A picture in grey
Dorian Grey
Just me by the sea
And I felt like a star
I felt the world could go far
If they listened
To what I said
Washes my feet
Washed my feet
Splashes the soul of my shoes
8. A Day Without Me
Starting a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind
I'm dreaming
You're awake
If I were sleeping
What's at stake
A day without me
Whatever the feelings
I keep feeling
What are the feelings
You left behind
Today's a day without me
I started a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind
In the world I left behind
Wipe their eyes, and then let go
To the world I left behind
Shed a tear, and then let go...
9. Another Time, Another Place
Bright morning lights
Wipe the sleep from another day's eye
Turn away from the wall
And there's Nothing at all
Being naked and afraid
In the open space of my bed
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
We lie on a cloud
We lie...
Just as I am
I awoke with a tear on my tongue
I awoke with a feeling of never before
In my sleep I discover the one
But she ran with the morning sun
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
We lie on a cloud
We lie...
Another time, another place
We lie...
Another child has lost the race
We lie...
Another time, another place
We lie...
Your time, your price
We lie...
Another time, another place
We lie...
Another child has lost
We lie...
Another time, another place
We lie...
Your time, your price
10. The Electric Co.
Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
Until you're able
Toy, broken toy
Shout shout
You're inside out
If you don't know... Electric Co.
If you don't know... Electric Co.
Red, running red
Play for real
They toy could feel
A hole in your head
You go in shock
You're spoon-fed
If you don't know... Electric Co.
If you don't know... Electric Co.
One two three four...
If you don't know... Electric Co.
Just to hear me
I've found my way home
11. Shadows And Tall Trees
Back to the cold restless streets at night
I talk to myself about tomorrow night
Walls of white protest
A gravestone in name
Who is it now
It's always the same
Who is it now
Who calls me inside
Are the leaves on the trees
Just living disguise
I walk sweet rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again
To the street melody
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know...
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Life through a window
Discoloured pain
Mrs. Brown's washing is always the same
I walk swreet rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again
To the street melody
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know...
Out there
Do you feel in me...
Anything redeeming
Any worthwhile feeling
Is love like a tightrope
Hanging from the ceiling
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know...
Shadows and tall trees...
