    All the towers of ivory are crumbling
    And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
    This is the time of our great undoing
    This is the time that I'll come running
    Straight to you
    For I am captured
    Straight to you
    For I am captured
    One more time


    The light in our window is fading
    The candle gutters on the ledge
    Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing
    And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running
    Straight to you
    For I am captured
    Straight to you
    For I am captured
    Once again


    Gone are the days of rainbows
    Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
    For the sea will swallow up the mountains
    And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks
    Straight at you
    But I'll come a-running
    Straight to you
    But I'll come a-running
    One more time


    Heaven has denied us its kingdom
    The saints are drunk howling at the moon
    The chariots of angels are colliding
    Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come running
    Straight to you
    For I am captured
    Straight to you
    For I am captured
    One more time

    You're hiding from me now
    there's something in the way that you're talkin'
    words don't sound right...

    But I hear them all moving inside you, go now

    I'll be there when you call
    and whenever I fall at your feet
    do you let your tears, rain down on me
    Whenever I touch your slow turning pain...

    The finger of blame has turned upon itself
    and I'm more than willing to offer myself
    Do you want my presence or need my help??

    Who knows where that might lead.... I fall at your feet...

    You cannot quit me so quickly
    Is no hope in you for me?
    No corner you could squeeze me
    But I got all the time for you, love

    The space between the tears we cry is the laughter
    Keeps us coming back for more
    The space between
    The wicked lies we tell
    And hope to keep safe from the pain

    But will I hold you again?

    These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
    Like, will it rain today?
    Waste the hours with talking, talking
    These twisted games we're playing

    We're strange allies with warring hearts
    What a wild-eyed beast you'll be
    The space between the wicked lies we tell
    And hope to keep safe from the pain

    But will I hold you again?
    Will I hold?

    Look at us spinning out in the madness of a roller coaster
    You know you went off like the Devil in a church
    In the middle of a crowded room
    All we can do, my love, is hope we don't take this ship down

    But the space between where you're smiling high
    Is where you'll find me if I get to go
    The space between the bullets in our firefight
    Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you

    The rain that falls splash in your heart
    Ran like sadness down the window into our room
    The space between our wicked lies
    Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

    Take my hand 'cause we're walking out of here
    Oh, right out of here
    Love is all we need, dear

    The space between what's wrong and right
    Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
    The space between your heart and mine
    Is the space we'll fill with time
    The space between...
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.

    I've got a little black book with my poems in
    Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
    When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in

    I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on
    Got those swollen hand blues
    Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from

    I've got electric light
    And I've got second sight
    And amazing powers of observation
    And that is how I know
    When I try to get through
    On the telephone to you
    There'll be nobody home

    I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
    And the inevitable pinhole burns
    All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
    I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
    I've got a silver spoon on a chain
    I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains

    I've got wild staring eyes
    And I've got a strong urge to fly
    But I got nowhere to fly to.........

    Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here
    It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around
    Or been stepped on.......

    You’ll follow her wherever she goes
    You love her and you just wanted to know
    That you’ll follow her, you’ll find a way
    ‘Cause you love her and you just wanted to know
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    We've got bombs and planes

    We've got plans and people

    And we do it in your name



    We've got our anger and rage

    To send you back from where you came

    We are hurting you to heal you

    And we're doin' it in your name



    We've got missiles and tanks

    We've got bombs and planes

    We've got plans and people

    And we do it in your name



    We're the righteous and true

    You're the unholy, profane

    We are fighting for your freedom

    And we do it in your name



    We've got missiles and tanks

    We've got bombs and planes

    We've got plans and people

    And we do it in your name, yeah



    We are the victims of privilege

    You're the one to blame

    We hate you, you hate us

    We all feel the same



    We've got missiles and tanks

    We've got bombs and planes

    We've got plans and people

    And we do it in your name, yeah

    If I were a boy
    Even just for a day
    I’d roll outta bed in the morning
    And throw on what I wanted, then go
    Drink beer with the guys
    And chase after girls
    I’d kick it with who I wanted
    And I’d never get confronted for it
    'Cause they’d stick up for me

    If I were a boy
    I think I could understand
    How it feels to love a girl
    I swear I’d be a better man.
    I’d listen to her
    'Cause I know how it hurts
    When you lose the one you wanted
    'Cause he’s taken you for granted
    And everything you had got destroyed

    If I were a boy
    I would turn off my phone
    Tell everyone it’s broken
    So they’d think that I was sleeping alone
    I’d put myself first
    And make the rules as I go
    'Cause I know that she’d be faithful
    Waiting for me to come home

    If I were a boy
    I think I could understand
    How it feels to love a girl
    I swear I’d be a better man.
    I’d listen to her
    'Cause I know how it hurts
    When you lose the one you wanted
    'Cause he’s taken you for granted
    And everything you had got destroyed

    It’s a little too late for you to come back
    Say it's just a mistake, think I’d forgive you like that?
    If you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrong

    But you’re just a boy
    You don’t understand
    Yeah, you don’t understand
    How it feels to love a girl
    Someday you'll wish you were a better man.
    You don’t listen to her
    You don’t care how it hurts
    Until you lose the one you wanted
    'Cause you’ve taken her for granted
    And everything you have got destroyed
    But you’re just a boy.
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.

    They tell me you walk on the water now
    I know who showed you the stones
    You pray that I banish my appetite and lie there alone

    I hope that you've practiced your instrument
    I fear it will take you away
    You ain't the type to be traveling, so why not just stay

    Here it is morning for some folks
    and twilight for those of us left
    who sleep while the soldiers get sunstroke
    and make little fools of ourselves

    Are we supposed to get good at this?
    What does it mean to give up?
    Why did I call you? I shouldn't be giving a fuck
    Answer these questions for everyone
    so maybe they'll stop asking me
    What really happened and where is your masterpiece?

    Here it is morning for some folks
    and twilight for those of us left
    who give up the dangers of sunstroke
    and make little fools of ourselves

    They tell me you walk on the water now,
    but I know who showed you the stones

    I need some things to look forward to
    Maybe these colors will fade
    I never meant to get bored with you
    but I never meant to stay
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Walkin down this rocky road
    wondering where my life is leadin'
    rollin' on, to the bitter end
    finding out along the way
    what it takes to keep love living
    you should know, how it feels my friend...


    Ooh, I want you to stay
    Ooh, I want you today
    O'm ready for love, yeah
    I'm ready for love
    Ooooh, for you love....

    Now I'm on my feet again
    better things are bound to happen
    all my dues, surely must be paid...

    Many miles and many tears
    times were hard but now they're changing
    you should know that I'm not afraid....

    Ooh, I want you to stay
    ooh, I want you today
    I'm ready for love
    oh baby, I'm ready for love
    ready for your love, oh baby I'm ready for love
    mmmmmm
    Oh, I'm ready for you love......

    Well the truth it fell so heavy
    Like a hammer through the room
    That I could choose another over her
    You always said I was an actor, baby
    Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
    That you never saw the signs
    That you never lost your grip

    Oh, come on now
    That's such a childish claim
    Now I wear the brand of traitor
    Don't it seem a bit absurd
    When it's clear I was so obviously framed
    When it's clear I was so obviously framed

    Now you act so surprised
    To hear what you already know
    And all you really had to do was ask
    I'd have told you straight away
    All those lies were truth
    And all that was false was fact
    Now you hold me close and hard
    But I was like a statue at most
    Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
    Now you're clawing at my throat
    And you're crying all is lost
    But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
    But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

    Well the truth it fell so heavy
    Like a hammer through the room
    That I could choose another over her
    You always said I was an actor, baby
    Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
    Was it you who told me once
    Now looking back it seems surreal
    That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
    So why is it now after I had my fill would you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
    Shall we call this a lesson learned?
    Shall we call this a lesson learned?

    oh gosh.. i just watched the US versus john lennon yesterday and the words to imagine have been running through my head ever since.

    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    You know my old car needs washing
    And the front yard needs a trim
    And the telephone keeps ringing
    And the bossman knows I know its him
    And the bills ain't gonna pay themselves
    No matter anyway
    Cause I ain't in no hurry today

    There's nothing wrong with an old cane fishing pole
    And the smell of early spring
    Sit down in a fold-up easy chair
    On a quiet shady river bank
    Let the world go on without me
    Wouldn't have it any other way
    Cause I ain't in no hurry today

    Ain't in no hurry
    I'd Be a fool now to worry
    About all those things I can't change
    And the time that I borrow
    Can wait till tomorrow
    Cause I ain't in no hurry today

    When I must return
    To the cold cold ground
    Have 'em take their time
    When they lay this sinner down

    Heaven knows that I ain't perfect
    I've raised a little cain
    And I plan to raise a whole lot more
    Before I hear those angels sing
    (Gonna get right with the lord)
    But there'll be hell to pay
    But I ain't in no hurry

    Ain't in no hurry
    Be a fool now to worry
    About all those things I can't change
    And the time that I borrow
    Can wait till tomorrow
    Cause I ain't in no hurry
    Ain't in no hurry
    Ain't in no hurry today
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
