"Fitzcarraldo"
(p) + (c) The Frames 1992-2006
Revelate My simple slant
My broken chant
My human fate
My revelate
Are you so far from me this day
That you can't say my revelate My open arms
My lucky charm
My number eight
My revelate
I fucked it up
I rest my case
'Cause it's all too grey
My revelate Sometimes I need
your revelation
Sometimes it's all too hard to take
And sometimes I need a revelation
But this time I'm making my own now
Does this mean we're though?
Does this mean it's gone?
I spent a day just to ponder the words
That I would write to you this day
But it's
all too great, my revelate Sometimes I need
your revelation
Sometimes it's all too hard to take
And sometimes I need
your revelation
This time it's up in arms
This time I need your revelation
'Sometimes it's all too much to take
And this time I need a revelation
Sometimes it's easy just to hate you
Sometimes I need a revelation now
Sometimes I... sometimes I... Redeem yourself
Redeem yourself
Redeem yourself 
Angel At My Table There's an angel at my table
And she broke her wings
She's packed her things
She said I'm the only one she'll turn to But there's a devil on my shoulder
And he's telling me she's so beautiful
That I should go up there and hold up
She's looking on How can I stay here
It wouldn't be what she wants
And I'm trying to break it easy
But she's pleading with me Will you be my anchor
When there is no-one around to hold me down
Will you be my anchor
I know you're not the answer There's an angel at my table
And she's blessed the breeze
That blows in between her and everything
She's left in that (heaven)
And I wish she'd call
'Cause that devil's on my shoulder
And he's pulling me down
And I'm trying to keep a balance
But she's begging me Will you be my anchor
When there is no-one around to hold me down
Will you be my anchor
I know you're not the answer There's an angel at my table
She said I'm the only one she'll turn to
Fitzcarraldo Here, back, down a long
and straight track
I have chose the long road -
That leads me to god knows
So I can't stop right now Even the good stars can fall from grace and
falter
Lose their faith and slide
But I can't get an ocean that's deep enough
for my day It's the first of the ascension
It's a sad way we've flown after the storm
And her last words were "I was
only thinking of you"
In my olden days I was a slave Well now it's time for to sound your voice
And capture what you're after
My ship was sold right up the river
But I'm not going down here
This journey isn't over
It's a long way to the house of
Fitzcarraldo
And her last words were "I'm always thinking of you"
In my olden days I was a
saint Even the good stars can fall from grace and
falter
Like lapdogs that stride that mystery
And her last words were "I'll see you down in history"
It's the
only way that we can go
I shall eclipse you It's a long way to Fitzcarraldo
And I don't want to pray for you
In the name of something true
Evergreen My evergreen
you are always gonna be
no winter winds
can take you far from me
those tides of time
have carved a few new lines
oh but they've never changed my mind
my evergreen
beside me you will be
when all the world was cold and golden
your colours ceased to bleed
oh my evergreen
you are always gonna be gonna be
keep on, keep on
cause your season's gonna come
when all these storms have passed and done
this distance will be gone
and I swear we will be one
when this race has all been run
and I stole to see the hail
falling down in through your hair
through your hair
oh my evergreen
oh you are always gonna be
In This Boat Together Even if you have a friend
And you give her half your life
Don't think you can't blow the whole thing down
And I could say it is my place
To speak of you so openly
Cause you never hid your hand from anyone
And we're in this boat together babe
And we said it when we pushed away the shore now
And we're in this boat together babe
And you'll bare your soul to anyone
And if i had a wish
I'd give it straight to you now
Cause you look so unsure of when you're coming down
And if you're coming down
And we're in this boat together babe
And we said it when we pushed away the shore now
And we're in this boat together babe
And we're left without a leg to stand
And we're in this mess together babe
And we said it when we pushed away the shore now
And we're in this mess together babe
And only the truth can get us back up on the shore
Say It To Me Now Scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
And so much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I'm looking for a sign
In this dark uneasy time
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now
And I'm not trying to pass the buck
I'm just trying to get a better look
And I'm wondering how it feels for you
Now that the shoe is on the other foot
And I didn't understand
When you reached down to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You'd better say it now
Cause this is what you've waited for
A chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow
Cause I'm clearing up this
wreckage Lord
And there's more than you've ever seen before
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now
Monument I built a monument to every word that's passed between us
I built a monument to stand through history
And I'll watch the hourglass the time will pass
And you'll rue the day love you ever strayed so far from me
I built a monument to make the time more easy passing
I built a monument to stand up straight and free
When all's been said and done the time will come
And it might be soon love, you'll see it more romantically
I built a monument to all we were
I built a monument to me and her
And now she's coming back
The roof is cracked and the walls are falling
As all those bitter words will flow back to the sea
I'll watch the hourglass the time will pass
And you'll rue the day love you ever strayed so far from me
I built a monument to all we were
I built a monument to me and her
Giving It All Away
There's only so much that you have
And you've got to keep it safe
You've been spreading it round the place
Now it's gotta come back this
way And you're giving it all
away
You're giving it all away
And you're lying through your teeth
You said you found a song to sing
And you're riding on a wave
whatever helps you get along
And you're giving it all away
You're
giving it all away
You're keeping nothing for yourself
You're just giving it all away
And there's so much that you know
And there's so much that you don't
Can you not accept its all the same?
Just accept it's all the same
And you're giving it all away
You're giving it all away
You're keeping nothing for yourself
You're just giving it all away
Red Chord And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me
Lord
It helps me out
When you're away When I was in the army
And they called you back to save me
And I was resting soft
In the arms of my
war And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me
Lord
And I'm pulling on the red chord
So you're not so far away And I was at the uni..
The university of
Blind love and black poetry
And it was there I found you
And you were happy like an angel
But for everything you learned
There is something you must let go of And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me
Lord
And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord Pulls you back to me
Lord
Yeah, pulls you back to me Lord
Pulls you back to me Lord
Yeah,
pulls you back to me Lord
Denounced are you feeling so abandoned
have your crutches all been stolen and broken
now sometimes you've got to fall
just to remember how far from the bottom you are
have I got your full attention
cause these words don't come so easy now
we know what's gonna happen
this is getting us nowhere
and we've been there
I did denounce this
and here I am with you
before we lose the rest
lets go with what we've left
are you holding it together
are you facing all the hardest and roughest parts
the sign we passed along the way
said you've come this far
now you're on your own
and I'm stopping here
I did denounce this
I did denounce this
and so did you
before we lose it all
let's try to call it off
I did denounce this
Your Face
I was thinking about your face
Rolling up the river
I was worried what
you thought
And I'm sorry if I can't remember
But there's no time for
crying
Only time for trying now
I remember your name
'Cause you
sang it to me often
I was lying down beside
The river where we met
And now you face is hiding something
Something is burning
And I'm gonna
wait for you
I've got to send this tape to you
And I'm gonna wait for
you
'Cause I know something about you
Something about the things you
do
Something about your voice
That reams in the good stars
It reams
in the good stars
There's a road that follows everywhere you go
I
stole your golden chaser
But I never meant to steal
Its not in my
nature
But if you try again I'll fall
And if you want to save it all
Then all you have to do is give
Give me that look again
Give me that
look
'Cause I'm gonna wait for you
I've got to send this tape to you
And I'm gonna wait for you
Roger Your big mouth, steelish stare
It fills my wings, enough to fly I sent a letter on a stone
Through your window down the hall One more day, still stuck in here
I burnt my words, on a beaten stove I sent my love a golden song
But a simple tune to hum along
She played my hearts strings with a bow
And the bow fire cracked out like a drum I sent my love a golden song
But a simple beat to tap along
She plays me like a rubber bow
And the bow fire fizzed out with the dawn
I feel in love with a girl called Roger
