...::: Ghosts :::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
Here I stand victorious
The only man who made you come
When you cried
You cried for us
And when we died
You died alone
Gravity's calling
Don't go home
Where are we
Did what I could for one of us
I always thought it was for you
And when I lied
Oh I lied for us
Because you never heard the truth
I'm lying alone tonight
Don't go home
Where are we if we are ghosts
Look at the time it's taken me
To get away from what was said
I'll never leave
I'll always love you
You know that all those words are dead
And buried at yours tonight
Move aside
I'm taking you home
On the radio she was that summer song
Packing them in
Making them dance
A law of her own
Taking the time to sing it
I don't need you but I'm lost
Lost without you tonight
I can't go home/have you know heart
Where are we
Hold a love like gold
Then Fold
They're taking down our satellite
Josephine I follow your star tonight
If not tonight
Then when will she say that we're not ghosts?
(In the cinema on the boulevard
In the public house discotheque
On the BBC in the coffee shops
From the autobahn on the 101
In the hit parade and the milky way
On our mobile phone calling Babylon
And on Channel 4 everybody is singing)

Tripping :::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
First they ignore you
Then laugh at you and hate you
Then they fight you - then you win
When the truth dies
Very bad things happen
They're being heartless again
I know it’s coming
There's going to be violence
I've taken as much
As I'm willing to take
Why do you think
We should suffer in silence
When a heart is broken
There's nothing to break
(Chorus Backing Vocal:
Want you to love me
Want you to be
The heavens above me
Eternally)
You've been mixing
With some very heavy faces
The boys have done a bit of bird
They don't kill their own
And they all love their mothers
But you're out of your depth son
Have a word
I know it’s coming
There's going to be violence
I've taken as much
As I'm willing to take
Why do you think
We should suffer in silence
The heart is broken
There's nothing to break
All is wonderful in past lives
Dreaming of the sun she warms
You should see me in the afterlife
Picking up the sons of dust
When you think we're lost
We're exploring
What do you think is worthless
I’m adoring
You don't want the truth
Truth is boring
I got this fever need to
Leave the house leave the car
Leave the bad men where they are
Leave a few shells in my gun
Stop me staring at the sun
I know it’s coming
There's going to be violence
I've taken as much
As I'm willing to take
Why do you say
We should suffer in silence
A heart is broken
There's nothing to break
I know it’s coming
There's going to be violence
I've taken as much
As I'm willing to take
Why do you think
We should suffer in silence
A heart is broken
There's nothing to break
...::: Make me pure
:::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy & C. Heath
So I sing a song
To reel 'em in
It's a song I've sung before and A song I'm going
to sing again
I mean every word and I don't mean a single one
of them
Oh Lord make me pure but not yet
Tell a joke
Tell it twice
If no one else is laughing then why am I
I split my sides both times and laugh untill I cry
Oh Lord please make me pure but not yet
I don't have to try
I just dial it in
I've never found a job that for me was worth
bothering
I've got a ton of selfish genes and lazy bones
beneath this skin
Oh Lord please make me pure but not yet
Smoking kills
Sex sells
I've got one hand in my pocket but the other one
looks cool as hell
I know I'm going to die so my revenge is living
well
Oh Lord please make me pure but not yet
I stopped praying so I hope this song will do
I wrote it all for you
I'm not perfect, but you don't mind that, do you
I know you're there to pull me through
Aren't you?
So I look for love
I like the search
And I've been standing for election all across the
known universe
Every president gets the country she deserves
Oh Lord please make me pure but not yet
I've been seeing
Somebody's wife
She said she'd leave him for me, and I said that
wasn't wise
You can't lie to a liar, because of all the lies
Oh Lord please make me pure but not yet
...::: Spread
your wings :::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
I used to live around here
I was the boy with the flash clothes
She was the girl with the acid stare
I saw her at The Place
You knows she knows you know
How she shakes when she jacks her body
To the sounds of Orange Juice Jones and
Jocelyn Brown Oh
Spread your wings before they fall apart
Home is where the hurt is darling follow your
heart
So she walks into this dead end bar
Sticks her hand bag on the chair
So she walks into this dead end bar
Puts hers handbag on the chair
And she weights the words we shared
When we were fifteen and still cared
Cause she feels I'm the scar from the wound
That time can't heal
And I said
Don't let your dreams fall out of your head
Stick it to the man instead
Don't fool your heart lying about
The feelings that you had back then
Did you try to change your life
Did you ever try to change your life
You repeat and repeat
And repeat and repeat
Now what's up with that?
Now she loves somebody else
In flash clothes
She was the girl with the acid stare
And now she'd pay to have one of those
And she weights the words she says
And she knows you exist
Now she feels
I'm the scar from the wound
That time can't heal
oh
Spread your wings before they fall apart
Home is where the hurt is darling follow your
heart

There's no earthly way of knowing
What was in your heart
When it stopped going
The whole world shook
A storm was blowing through you
Waiting for god to stop this
And up to your neck in darkness
Everyone around you was corrupted
Say something
There's no dignity in death
To sell the world your last breath
We're still fighting over everything you left
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our prophets go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space
Through your eyes the world was burning
Please be gentle I'm still learning
You seemed to say as you kept turning up
They poison you with compromise
At what point did you realise
That everybody loves your life but you
A special agent for the man
Through Watergate and Vietnam
No one really gave a damn
Did you think the CIA did
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our prophets go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our prophets go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space
I've seen your daughter man she's cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you
...::: Please
don't die :::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
Let me lie down
Please don't wake me
Nothing's sacred
And no one saved me
In my black eye
I can feel it
Moving closer
Can't you hear it
The only gift you gave to me
Was self-fulfilling prophecy
I need to change the sounds
That shape my life
And if you die before I leave
What on earth becomes of me
Look around there's no one here
To love me and hold me
Take me dancing
I love music
Keep on singing
We won't lose it
Picture me there
Missing no one
If young hearts run free
Why can't we go on
Go on 'til they kick us out
We've everything to talk about
I could bring a song into your life
If you should die before I leave
What on earth becomes of me
Look around there's no one here
To love me and hold me
Maybe I've been away too long
I know I'm not always right but is that wrong
They say there's nothing I can do
But talk to strangers and wait for you
If you should die before I leave
What on earth becomes of me
Look around there's no one here
To love me and hold me
And if you die before I leave
What on earth becomes of me
Look around there's no one here
To love me and hold me now
...::: Your gay
friend :::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
Ooh woo hoo
Hey hey here comes no one
Another friend to have a go on
And she asks me do I miss her when she's gone?
And I reply "As much as I miss anyone"
Oh
A Woo hoo
And I'll be your gay friend
'Cus your marriage never ends
Till we fuck and fight again
There's a space between us
So jump into my bed
We'll pretend the world is dead
But always in my head
Is a face between us
Hey lord forgive us if we wrong
And make sure that he never hears this song
And she says that I'm the opposite of a Hallmark
card
She asks me how I'm feeling well
I don't want to think that hard
Oh
A Woo hoo
And I'll be your gay friend
'Cus your marriage never ends
Till we fuck and fight again
There's a space between us
So jump into my bed
We'll pretend the world is dead
And always in my head
Is a face between us
It's the late show now
How does the late show end?
Well if god is in the details thank god that you're
my friend
I have a friend again
You are my friend again
My gay friend
So jump into my bed
Andl pretend the world is dead
And always in my head
There's a space between us
And I'll be your gay friend
'Cus your marriage never ends
Till we fuck and fight again
There's a space between us
...::: Sin sin sin
:::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy & C. Heath
Don't let your eyes tell the brain
You should feel ashamed
Everyone needs it baby
And I feel the same
Didn't quite catch your name
Hush hush hush don't say a thing
Lets see what the night will bring
It might be everything
Oh it hurts when you're too blind to see
Please don't read my mind I tell the truth to me
Sin sin sin look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer of love
And life deep inside
Hush hush hush
To speak is a sin
And neither of us need rescuing
Just relax
It's what Jesus would do
We're made in his image baby
Let's ride this thing through
Oh it hurts 'when you're to blind to see
What about us
Well it was just for me
Sin sin sin look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer of love
And life deep inside
I won't sing of amore
It don't sound sincere
Love is a cliché
But if it's not here I'll disappear
Sin sin sin look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer of love
And life deep inside
It's love great sex joy
I love you, you love my hate
And it feels inside my
Feels inside
Feels inside
...::: Random acts of kindness
:::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
For those about to die we salute
you
For those of about to cry we love you
For those of us who live in fear
Of Happy Christmas and New Year
I raise a toast to you
And if it hurts to be so blind
Why don't you try being kind
They've decided to become a
Little more proactive
Creep upon you while you sleep
And make you less attractive
Born without a spine
Why don't you try being kind
For those out drinking at their mother's wake
You'll find a way to soldier on
For those whose love evaporates
I pray you'll find where you belong
Oh the words I have repressed
Are coming out today I guess
It's justice not respect I'm after
And that just leaves comtempt
For you all
I am just a simple man
With simple expectations
With deep regrets they're seldom met
God speed my generation
And with Crowley on my mind
I should try being kind
For those about to die we salute you
For those about to cry we love you
For those about to die we salute you
For those about to cry we love you
...::: The trouble with me
:::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
You see the trouble with me
I've got a head full of fuck
I'm a basket case
I don't think I can love love love
You see the trouble with you
Is you're in love with me
What a strange thing to do
What a brave place to be
And so we die on sunset strip
A heart so deep I drown in it
And as it breaks I swim through cracks
And leave with words I can't take back
(Wo wo wo)
You see the trouble with me
Monkey see monkey do
There's no you in tomorrow
A better offer came through
You see the trouble with you
There's no trouble with you
So when you say that you love me
That stops me loving you
And so she stayed on sunset strip
A heart so full I drown in it
She's waiting for my words to break
The one true love I couldn't make
Wo wo wo yeah yeah yeah
Ans so she walks that golden mile
And men will try and catch her eye
We both know what could have been
On sunset strip a broken dream
Wo wo wo yeah yeah yeah
Wo wo wo yeah yeah yeah
...::: A place to crash :::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
I - I - I
I'm on a mission
To abuse my position
Abuse it with you
Love, I'm a cynical bitch
I'm gonna scratch that itch
With a bitch like you
Modern thinking's made me miserable
Everything is unforgivable
If not for you I wouldn't come at all
Find a place to crash
Move your boney ass
Love me like I'm cash
You can feel the class
If there's a freak in here
Looking for someone like me
I fit that description perfectly
Boom boom boom
I bet they resent you
They would if they met you
Met you with me
Every move you make is poetry
They all fake what you do naturally
If not for you I wouldn't come at all
Find a place to crash
Move your boney ass
Love me like I'm cash
You can feel the class
Kiss me with your mouth
Teach me with your brain
They say I say when I say nothing at all
Leaves a taste in my stomach and it's no taste
at all
I can't sing I can't dance that didn't stop me at all
It's a ball when I call if I call you at all
Love is the reason but it won't pay my rent
Only palone fill your dish in the dent
I won't be happy till the money's been spent
I forgot to forget oh fuck it oh fuck it
...::: King of bloke and bird
:::...
R. Williams & S. Duffy
What you do speaks so loud
I cannot hear what you say
Except for the occassional word
Sulphates a sentimental sight it bothers me
No longer king of bloke and bird
All of my life
Searching hard
Down in the wires
Of love
Summer me now summer my life away
Summon me on to another day
A hand through the clouds keeps knocking me
down
It's no less than I deserve
They built museums I don't visit them
I've made enough trouble of my own
Into the night
Searching hard
Look for the light
Of love
Summer me now summer my life away
Summon me on to another day
Summer the evening, winter ways are falling
down again
I sing from the chaos in my heart, my heart
Then comes the evening that makes life worth
living
Shoving the shoes out in the light
She walks in, I can hear her
