Track Listing: You're A Dream Taken By Surprise Sometimes Midnight in America When God Is In Heaven The Brighter The Light Pretty Big Crush I Will Follow You Sleep With Me The Lost Girl Anyone Everything Breaks Your Heart When Everyone's Left (unreleased song from Escapist sessions) Thanks to Stephen for his assistance with these lyrics

The phone rang yeah too fucking early
A crack of light was set free
From day to day I lose my way
You've made all the difference to me

You're a dream
You're supreme
You're a dream
That I never want to wake up from

You knocked but I didn't hear
We stood facing each other eye to eye
I'm a lonesome child and my eyes have grown wild
I rejoice at the sounds of your voice

You're the brightest star that I ever did meet
And your faith in me well really it's so sweet
I dig your smile, styles, wiles and your grace
I drew my eyes away from your tender face

I was taken by surprise
When struck by lightning you arrived
White eyed, two faced, three legged, you begged
Mercifully to get in

I said no I've changed my mind
I think I know your kind
I've changed my mind

Welcome stranger get in and close the door
Give me your hand but don't ask me for more
Untied shoelace unshaved straightface
Piercing eyes, still asking you for more

Yeah, taken by surprise
Oh yeah, taken by surprise

Who are you and what's the story
Why pick me and my hospitality
I was taken by surprise
When struck by lightning you arrived

See through blue
On the sky, on the sand
Neon lights
Baby's ?bright?

Chorus:
I don't want to fight
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Sometimes
Sometimes I have to take myself away

Feel your love
Coming over oceans to me
Looking at you
Differently

Chorus

See through blue
On the sky, on the sand
Neon lights
Baby's ?bright?

I can feel your love
Coming over me
I'm looking at you
Differently

Chorus

Broken old record
What did you find
The honey's spiked I thought that you liked it
Hey make up your mind
The fools took the boy
And boy did they throw him into the lake
He wades through the weeds and comes to the party
What a mistake

Chorus:
And now, now he's waiting for a miracle yeah
But how, when it's midnight in America now

Stupid magician
With your cloak and your wands
Pulls out a rabbit, he's got a bad habit
He's quite over fond
The woman took a man
And man did she drop him
Onto the floor
He crawls to an exit
He sings like a swallow
And knocks at her door

Mixed up and empty
Probably dead
The company paid it 
The aliens laid it down on it's head
The boyfriend hit a kid
And I kid you not
It hurt him real bad
He laid in the garden, got blood on the flowers
That's awfully sad

When God is in heaven
And all is right with the world
Nothing weighs too heavy on me
And all is right with the world

I got to be going
I got to get some sleep
I got to hang up now
I got someone else to meet

Well alright now baby
What is it
What is it that you really want to know
I can only talk for a second
And then I really do have to go

When God is in heaven
And all is right with the world
Nothing weighs too heavy on me
And all is right with the world

Was there something that you wanted
Something that you need done or just had to know
I'll give you a ring later baby
Maybe tomorrow

There will be better times than these
And there will be worse
And I'm a weary of my life
Sick of looking into the past
And awaiting the beyond

Chorus:
The brighter the light
The darker the shadow
Some things can't be changed
They're part of the show
The brighter the light
The darker the shadow

And I stumble and I grope 
Sometimes I might even lose all hope
As I walk through this void
And think my confidence must be destroyed

And my life is unfurled
To welcome the dazzling world
You bring a joy to this place
With your humour, your unaffected grace

Whisper and tell me
Anything that comes into your head
There's nothing we can do
Until you go crazy for me like I went for you

Chorus:
Pretty big crush
Pretty big crush on you

Strange isn't it
Meeting again after all those years
You said take a chance on me
I reeled and fell so completely

And I don't mind
I don't mind at all
I had an impulse to run away
Take me inside your world
Love is here to stay

Pretty big crush
Pretty big crush on you

I shall leave with you
To go wherever love takes us
To the lush green valleys
To fartherest shores
And my heart's pounding
And my eyes are streaming
And there's a moon
In the purple sky

Lightning cracked
Out over the black sea
Thunder boomed out
On top of our bodies
And buildings swayed
And let love take us
Like a dying star
Imploding into silence

I shall follow you
I shall follow you
I shall follow you
I shall follow you

And my heart's pounding
My eyes are streaming
Sliding together
In the purple sky

Sleep with me
Why don't you sleep with me?
Sleep with me
Why don't you sleep with me?

You can try
Try to understand
Try to understand
You can try
Try to understand
Try to understand

Sleep with me
Why don't you sleep with me?
Sleep with me
Why don't you sleep with me?

You can try...

Sleep with me...

You could try...

I'll have forgotten you ever existed
Even before you reach the door
I try to be grateful enough
I have many things to be grateful for
I don't want to meet any more people
I'm gonna sit in this chair all night
And I know that it's over
But I'm sure you'll be alright

And there's nothing to say
You want to go straight home
And at the end of the day
You'd rather be alone

The lost girl
And her spirits are high
She's like a new star in the sky
She's the lost girl

And I'm not sure how I feel
You drew some symbol on the floor
One moment you're wild and high
The next you're not quite sure

And there's nothing to say
You want to go straight home
And at the end of the day
You'd rather be alone

Took a look at the world
Blowing past my car
Every atom in your body
Was once in a star
Through the windshield up ahead
I can see mountains and roads
It's like a ?giant ????

Sometimes I'm feeling I can't concentrate
It's like my whole life has been kick-started by fate
And I catch my face in the rear-view
Could be anyone at all
Even you

Anyone, could be anyone
Anyone, anyone

Swept along the highway
Packed up and moving fast
Brooding about the future
And struggling with past
I've been up eight hours
I've been talking to the sky
Take a look at the world as it whizzes by

Sometimes feel I might suffocate
I turn on myself like some evil instrument of hate
I turn and catch your eye
What can I do

See this room
Yeah it's my world
I like singing
I could always sing some song
I learnt about life
Yeah as I went
Learn about life
As I just went along

People are acting
All the goddam time
Spreading a little misery
Wherever they go
But
I've got it all dreadfully wrong
Darkness ?ascends upon me?
Upon my shadow

Chorus:
Everything breaks your heart
From the dark into the light
Everything is alright
But everything breaks your heart

I fell from the sky
Here right into your arms
My eyes were shut tight
I was hoping for the best
The tenderest caress often holds a darker intent
Money and good times
That I carelessly spent

What makes me tell such dreadful stories
That's what people are like, I'd often say
I was much, I was much under-rehearsed
For the calling life would have me play

I've got things on my mind
but I'd so much like to know
when all your friends get drunk enough
and they finally go
I'll ask you if you love me
because I've trailed after you
and don't you try to get out of it
haven't you ever done anything
you didn't want to do?

And I'm telling you this
maybe you'd think it's a big mistake
and in the middle of the night
maybe your heart will break.
When everyone's left
when there's nothing else to try
When everyone's left
and you wanna cry

I know all your tricks
I know exactly what you're trying to do
you want to run and play
well, you would, wouldn't you

and I'm telling you this
maybe you think it's a big mistake
and in the middle of the night
maybe your heart will break
When everyone's left
when there's nothing else to try
When everyone's left
and you wanna cry
