You love the girl, you love the man
Who slipped away under the sign?
Open your eyes and you'll understand
Who broke your back, the gingerman
We are only learning to dive
You learnt it all when you were five
Holding your breaths to stay alive
Escape from the heat under the fan
Learning to love your Uncle Sam
We are only learning to dive
You love the girl, you love the man
Who slipped away under the sign
Open your eyes I bet you'd understand
Who broke your back, the gingerman
The sign on the door deserved a hand
Holding your breaths to be a man
But down on the floor you'll realise
The caterpillar-crawls and butter-flies
Escape from the heat under the fire
Learning to love our Uncle Sam
We are only learning to dive
Alison, the carousel
Broken hearts, another cell
Leaving here I'll understand
Foreign cars are in demand
Alison, the carousel
Broken hearts, another cell
Leaving here I'll understand
Foreign girls are in demand
Demand, in demand, demand
In demand, in demand
And we are only learning to dive
We are only learning to dive
We were barley learning to dive
Fire under feet
The sensual toe tapping up your street
It's torn asunder, it's torn
It's in the tombs where lovers meet and
They curse the gods that they would seek another
It may come later, it may
For most of us the summer sun
Bikini lines and having great fun
For most of us who learn to wake
Get left behind in providence too late
It's out and over, and out
It's carpet burns but we're discrete
We haven't learned to hide our faces when we meet
And all those things you stole from me
I gave them back to your family
But they don't know
What's got into you
'Cause you forgot to tell them that we're through
Fire...
What a weight it was off you
And you're silence saw me though
If you come up here you'll see
What a mess we've made of this
Before you start turning again
Before you start going again
Before you have something to say
I believe I heard it once
In violence and tortured songs
We hold it out into the bare
And realise we've come to late
All I can hear is the songs my mother taught me
You're the friend I need the most
You're the friend I need that close
But we let it slip again
And it's all broken now you said
Before you start turning again
Before you start turning away
Before you have something to say
I believe I heard it once
In violence and tortured songs
We hold it out into the bare
And realise we've come to late
All I can hear is the songs my mother taught
All I can hear is the songs my mother taught
All I can hear is the songs my mother taught me
Did I watch you wash away your life
And polish up the forks and knifes
And left the kitchen crystal clear
Did you put me in my resting place
Beside the cups there was no place for fear
There's someone calling for me
Just see a new talk
Don't listen to me
We go through the hoops
Before you know it beats me
Did I watch you wash away your life
And polish up the forks and knifes
And I watch the crystal disappear
Did I try to run to your defence
And make some jokes at my expense
And watch you boil some water for the sake of it
There's someone calling for me
Just see a new talk
Don't listen to me
Hail Mary, motherless grace
She thinks intuition
Is a feeling in her gut
What we got tired of waiting for
She'll never have enough
Suzanne, Suzanne
Now she thinks I'm an innocent
But I've been 'round the block
And it keeps moving uptown
So I guess I'll never stop
Suzanne, Suzanne, now Suzanne, Suzanne now
But while you're gone you'll never find the girl you ought to find
Now we're here we get to prop it all up
Always want the best for her
We start and then we stop
You could hold her hand right now
C'mon show us what you got
Yeah Suzanne, Suzann(a)
Everyone here's a movie star
But no-one knows which one they are
Were you the one
I could've written your part
Suzanne, Suzann(a), Suzanne, Suzanne
When you're gone you'll get to find the girl you ought to find
When you'll hear you get to smile the smile you ought to smile
Now you're gone don't get to stand before you open wide
Suzanne, Suzann(a), Suzanne, Suzann(a)
The pay-off's on Tuesday
I'll follow the cross
There's pennies from heaven
I don't suppose
And I woke up on Thursday
And fell for the floor
And my sister's a beauty
A beauty no more
God doesn't know me
Or answer my call
He don't know me from Adam
Or Eve at all
And the rich man still chooses
To sleep in the hall
And he's dying for your company
We could give him a call
God doesn't know me
Or answer my call
He don't know me from Adam
Or Eve at all
When my son cried, the tears could kill a man
I have returned, I've learnt and I understand
And I recall, that you were younger then
You met your match, and so you married him
It's not like home, it's not like home
It's not like home
Now that I'm here, I feel you everywhere
I talked to walls, you start your climbing chair
And I recall, you didn't pray for much
Now baby's crying, and I'm afraid to touch
It's not like home, it's not like home
It's not like home
Where everything we seek and failed to touch
Don't ask me why it hurts that much
Now Daddy's gone, there's just an empty space
Who sits around, and clutters up the place
It's not like home, it's not like home
It's not like home
Where everything we seek and failed to touch
Don't ask me why it still hurts that much
Home, home, home, home, home
I'm your waiter, my rule of thumb
Appetisers, are two for one
And I'm so sorry, what I have done
I have made heroes, of everyone
I'd wash my hands, if America was blind
They'd understand
The water turned salty, from songs we sung
Beeswax beauty, on everyone
Beeswax beauty, my God above
My eyes were burning, I looked inside
Count out David, what did you find?
I'd wash my hands, if America was blind
They'd understand
There there, the baby arrows
There's a warrior coming, on your front
There there, the baby arrows
But they can't hurt you even if they try
There there, they're like baby arrows
The more I give them, the more you sigh
They're aren't feeling lucky tonight
They're a heartbeat that just twists in your eye
Eye...
I'd wash my hands, if America was blind
They'd understand
I am surprised to get
A letter from you now
I living miles from you
In the loneliness of south
The people here won't see it
They like to live alone
In the quiet of their evening times
I hear their bed boards moaning
But Franco has a hold on things
And he's not letting go
What the Virgin Mary doesn't see
She doesn't need to know
We find the hole on Centre St.
And I stay home all night
The buzzer hasn't worked in years
Unless you push it right
The sun it doesn't shine here
It tortures hands in time
When there are broken bodies to air
I'm burning all the time
Your family told me that you'd found
A better man than me
I hope you'll be allowed to laugh
In polite company
My lover left me
She left me too soon
I shouldn't blame her much
But the state of my room
I started stumbling and chasing the bells
The metal straps upon my knees
Made this sound when I fell
And you heard those words from your piers
I was just your volunteer
I loved my Uncle Georgie
Uncle Georgie's my friend
He spent his life fishing
Washing dishes weekends
And I tried to say something sincere
Sign me up I'll volunteer
My father left me
He left me too soon
I thought he'd say something
Before he waltzed from the room
And all I remembered was my hands at my side
The face of a woman who once was his bride
And all I got left with was tears
Seven lonely volunteers
We look for Sister Mary
Sister Mary's the pale
She holds her head sometimes
And walks close to the rail
She sings on a Sunday
And stands on the stairs
She haunts me at night time
When I've forgotten my prayers
And we don't see much of her here
A winter weary volunteer
The captains need order
It helps them stay sane
The plumbers hate slaughter
It fucks up the drains
And hard-hats must be worn at all time on the site
It don't make no difference if you're lost in the light
The men here make last their career
They don't talk to volunteers
Oh how your life cuts me
And rips through my bones
We pretend that it's nothing
When we're on the way home
And I wish you'd abandoned me here
So I can be a volunteer
I thought you were dreaming
Been listening for days
The crime wave it hurts
Even though it still pays
And Babyface Mendoza and the Bruiser Mandrake
Had a plan for re-election using an old Jedi mind trick
The Tappan Zee Bridge has grown ears
To hear the drowning volunteers
Yeah the Tappan Zee Bridge has grown ears
I hear the drowning volunteers
There once a time I lived alone
To find you helplessly
Dreaming of thoughts
That you had lost so hesitantly
Feeding you thoughts
When your escaping nice and distantly
Waiting for the world
To close its eyes upon you
Waiting for the light brigade
To kiss your lips and set you free
And here's to you, here's to you
Here's to you, to you
Here's to you, here's to you
Here's to you, to you
Wasn't it good
And the music shook you side to side
We picked the roses of our choice
You and me, you and me child
And the crown prince
Is the envy of a thousand men
'Cause old blue eyes
She's laughing once again
Waiting for this world
To close its eyes upon you
Waiting for the light brigade
To kiss your lips and set you free
And here's to you, here's to you
Here's to you, to you
Here's to you, here's to you
Here's to you, to you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Here's to you, here's to you
