Lyrics
For those of you fond of the ’sing-along’, here are some of our words, in no particular order…
A Question of Trust
Let There be Light
My Big Test
St Cecilia
New Favourite Band
I Saw the Lights Go Out
Record Breaker
A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
London
Their Hearts Were Full of Spring
Take our Own Good Advice
Fire Eyes
It’s something peculiar, yet somehow familiar
We’ve seen this all somewhere before
It’s so disappointing to get what you want
And then it turns into something you abhor
Oh but there’s gaps in the fences, there’s holes in the walls
There’s cracks in their armour, there’s cracks in their armour
I tell you their kingdoms will crumble, their empires will fall
There’s cracks in their armour, theres cracks in their armour oh no
We don’t believe any more of your lies, we’ve heard it all before too many times
We don’t believe any more of your lies, we’ve heard it all before too many times
We don’t believe any more of your lies, we’ve heard it all before too many times
We don’t believe any more of your lies
I tell you there’s gaps in the fences, there’s holes in the walls
There’s cracks in their armour, there’s cracks in their armour
I tell you their kingdoms will crumble, their empires will fall
There’s cracks in their armour, thereís cracks in their armour
We came here to find you, we came to remind you
We can help each other, sister I’m your brother
Sing it from the steeples, sing it to the people
Open your eyes and listen, don’t trust politicians
There’s gaps in the fences, there’s holes in the walls
(We came here to find you, we came to remind you)
There’s cracks in their armour, there’s cracks in their armour
(We can help each other, sister I’m your brother)
I tell you their kingdoms will crumble, their empires will fall
(Sing it from the steeples, sing it to the people)
There’s cracks in their armour, there’s cracks in their armour
(Open your eyes and listen, don’t trust politicians)
Let there be beauty
Let there be a light to guide me
I have lost my vision to my blind ambition
I am reaching out for something I can cling to
Something to believe in
In a big and empty world
Let there be a light, let it shine
Let there be a light, let it shine
Let there be a light, let it shine for my black eyes
Dig my fingers in and try and keep from falling
Still I’m hanging, hanging onto nothing
I have crushed the only thing I loved
I fucked it up
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
Yeah
Let there be a light, let it shine
Let there be a light, let it shine
Let there be a light, let it shine for my black eyes
It’s such a shame, it’s such a waste
These sour grapes, this bitter taste
So long, so long, I never wanna see your face again
We’ve passed the point of no return
You can’t go back, your bridges burned
I’m gone, I’m moving on into another place
My big test, you seem so far away
Happiness, you seem so far away
I’m never gonna find you here
So it’s ‘Goodbye!’ and get me out of here
I’m just looking for some clarity
You should choose your words more carefully
When you realise you got it wrong
You have to put it right, you can’t just carry on
I sometimes think I’m not that strong
I need some help to get along
I need a hand to stand up
And a map to find my way
Be careful who you keep around you, people always let you down
You can’t trust anyone except yourself these days
And my big test, you seem so far away
Happiness, you seem so far away
I’m never gonna find you here
So it’s ‘Goodbye!’ and get me out of here
I’m just looking for some company
You should choose your friends more carefully
When you realise you got it wrong
You have to put it right, you can’t just carry on
If I could start again I would change everything
If I could start again I would change everything
If I could start again I would change everything
If I could start again I would change everything
I found myself in an empty place
And I couldn’t see a way to escape
I found myself in an empty place
And I couldn’t see a way to escape
And I’ve been so lonely
I’ve been so lonely, waiting
I’ve been so lonely
Kicking round the dust
I have begun to rust
St. Cecilia, pretty as a picture
I fell in love, you know
Or is just that the thought of being in love seemed better than being alone?
It’s been so long we’ve been out of touch
But I couldn’t say that I miss you much
It’s been so long we’ve been out of touch
But I couldn’t say that I miss you much
And I’ve been so lonely
I’ve been so lonely, waiting
I’ve been so lonely
I’m sick and I am tired
My patience has expired
St. Maria
Every time I see you I fall in love, you know
Or is it just the idea of being in love seems better than being alone?
St. Cecilia
Every time I see you I fall in love, you know
Or is it just the idea of being in love seems better than being alone?
Come on into my airspace
I love the way you make it vibrate
It could be as close as heaven will get to me
Come on into my airspace
I love the way you make my heart race
It could be as close as heaven will get to me
I love the way you sing to me only, oh!
And oh, no other, no, no, no other could know
So don’t keep me waiting for it
Just come on into my airspace
I love the way you make it vibrate
It could be as close as heaven will get to me
It could be as close as heaven will get to me
I was afraid of the dark
Cos it felt like the hole in my heart
Oh you don’t know how lucky you are cos there’s something I lost
In the glare of the lights, and the cost of this brightness is sometimes our blindness
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (Darkness did surround us)
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (We’d never seen so many stars)
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (Beautiful and boundless)
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (And nothing to be scared of)
You filled up my stomach with stones
And you cast me out here on my own
But the gods and the devils you spoke of were not really there
And so I learned not to be scared of the stories you tell to your children
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (Darkness did surround us)
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (We’d never seen so many stars)
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (Beautiful and boundless)
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (And nothing to be scared of)
Listen! Do not be afraid
Cos the gods and the devils they made are just lies that you tell to your children
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (Darkness did surround us)
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (We’d never seen so many stars)
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (Beautiful and boundless)
I saw the lights go, I saw the lights go out (And nothing to be scared of)
I need some help
Some help, aha
Cos by myself I don’t get far
Come on, give us a hand
Give us a hand
Give us all that you can
All that you can
If you would be my pacemaker
Then I’ll be your record breaker
If I’m still here it’s only cos I’ve got no other place to go
I’m nowhere near where I should be
And I can’t make it on my own
I burned my fire because it didn’t keep me warm
My heart’s desire is a hole to crawl in
And I keep falling down since I’ve been trying to stand alone
Come on, give us a hand
Give us all that you can
All that you can
Sing us
a song
to keep
us from
going
under
It’s a wonder
Keep me from falling in, I can’t control the balance in my brain
I’m sick, I’m calling in
I’m never going back to work again
I close my eyes and I see shapes begin to form
It’s no surprise that I’ve been sleepwalking and nervous talking
Waiting for a ride to take me home
Come on, give us a hand
Give us a hand
Give us all that you can
All that you can
Come on
Far away and long ago is someone that I used to know
Who told me what my heart was for
I don’t believe it anymore
But long ago and far away I used to think the things she’d say were beautiful
And full of love
It hurts me to remind me of it now
And everybody knows the way that it dies
So how come I can’t pull out the knife?
All your pretty little lies, well I can see it in your eyes
But oh, your pretty little eyes, they draw me in
They hypnotise
So say it like you really mean it
And maybe I can still believe it isn’t all a waste of time
A temporary sickness of the mind
So tell me the difference that lies between life and death
It’s only a lack of heart, a loss of breath
Don’t tell me you love me
Tell me you love me
I’ve been waiting for the day to come
But I feel so stupid, I feel so dumb
You kept me hanging round, holding on
For the next little thing to pin my hopes on
Don’t get cynical, don’t be sad
But it’s difficult after the day I’ve had
My ships sinking, my faith ran out
I am drowning, I am drowning in a sea of doubt
And I’ve been dead for this whole decade
(Don’t call it a comeback, baby)
And I’ve been singing from the wreckage
(There’s beauty in the strangest places)
I called your phone, I left a message
(Don’t tell me you didn’t get it)
I’ve had enough
I’m better off without
I’ve been waiting for the day to come
But I feel so stupid, I feel so dumb
You kept me hanging round
Holding on for the next little thing to pin my hopes on
Don’t get cynical, don’t be sad
But it’s difficult after the day I’ve had
My ship’s sinking, my faith ran out
I am drowning, I am drowning in a sea of doubt
I came here for some reassurance
(I believed the things you told me)
But you just watched me fall to pieces
(I bought all the lies you sold me)
I looked for love, I got diseases
(I wanted God, you gave me Jesus)
I’ve had enough
I’m better off without
I can face this world on my own
I can face this world on my own
There are bands around my heart
There are bands around my heart

There’s a story told of a very gentle boy
And the girl who wore his ring
Through the wintry snow their love remained still warm
For their hearts were full of spring
As the days grew old and the nights passed into time
And the weeks and years took wing
Gentle boy, tender girl, their love remained still young
For their hearts were full of spring
Then one day they died
And their graves were side by side on a hill where robins sing
And they say violets grow there the whole year round
For their hearts were full of spring
I don’t know what becomes of the things I’ve lost and forgotten
And I try not to worry about them now they’re gone
If you get by alright without all the things that you’ve lost
Then it’s just not worth trying to work out what went wrong
There’s things I can’t explain
There’s things that I can’t change
It’s out of my control
You have to let them go
When stuff gets left behind
The new things that you find
Can help to fill the holes
In empty little souls
If there’s a plan in all this I just can’t understand it
Cos all I see is chaos and accidental things
It take a bigger brain than mine to work out all the answers
If god exists he must be a scientist
There’s things I can’t explain
There’s things that I can’t change
It’s out of my control
You have to let them go
When stuff gets left behind
The new things that you find
Can help to fill the holes
In empty little souls
In empty little souls
I saw a fire in your eyes
Which came as quite a surprise
And though the windows of the soul are sometimes dirty little holes
Which try to hide the things inside
I saw a fire in your eyes
And I am drawn to your light
And though I know that I will burn for this, but still I can’t resist it
I can’t fight
Drawn to your light
I saw a fire in your eyes
And it came as a surprise cos you know I wasn’t looking for a light
You start the alarms in my soul
I was tired and feeling old til your fire stopped my heart from turning cold
The way you’ve set me burning is concerning me – it’s out of my control
My burning soul
I saw a fire in your eyes
And it came as a surprise cos you know I wasn’t looking for a light
But I carry a torch for you now
Oh, you lead me on somehow
And I don’t think I can start to stop this now
So this is how it starts:
With fire in our hearts
And burning in our souls
And walking over coals
And drying up the seas
It spreads like a disease
The dead wood in this town is burning, burning down
Somewhere we’ll find a place for us
(And we will burn it down)
Somewhere for us where we can start fires and watch them burn
(We’ll burn it to the ground)
Yeah, we’ll find a place for us
(And we will burn it down)
Somewhere for us where our fire can burn
