A Broken Frame lyrics

My secret garden's not so secret anymore!
Run from the house, holding my head in my hands
Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel
It all seems so absurd
That this should have occurred
My very only secret
And I had to go and leak it!
My secret garden's not so secret anymore!

No, my secret garden's not so secret anymore!
Run through the fields, down to the edge of the water

When the site was found
We laid the foundations down
It didn't take long before
They came back tumbling down
Don't build at night
You need a little light
How else you going to see
What it is going to be like!

So we picked up our tools
And we worked in the morning light
With the last stone placed
Wasn't it a wonderful sight
But it fell back down
And scattered all around

(Instrumental)

All I want to do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile
Smiled the way it was before

Well I'll try not to hold you
And I'll try not to kiss you
And I won't even touch you

All I want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true

I remember the days when we'd walk through the woods
And sit on a bench for a while

Now here this my friends,
I´ll never be the same again,
Going to lock myself in a cold black room,
Going to shadow myself in a well of gloom,
I will find a function, operate,
I will be a satellite of hate.

Driving to this point by a chain of events,
Each one pushed me nearer the edge.
Going to send my message through you,
You´ll recieve the signal to.
I will function, operate,

I´VE READ MORE THAN A HUNDRED BOOKS
SEEING LOVE MENTIONED MANY THOUSAND TIMES
BUT DESPITE ALL THE PLACES I´VE LOOKED
IT´S STILL NO CLEARER
IT´S JUST NOT ENOUGH
I´M STILL NO NEARER
THE MEANING OF LOVE
THE MEANING OF LOVE
THE MEANING OF LOVE

NOTED DOWN ALL MY OBSERVATIONS
SPENT AN EVENING WATCHING TELEVISION
STILL I COULDN´T SAY WITH PRECISION
KNOW IT´S A FEELING AND IT COMES FROM ABOVE

Instrumental

What good is a photograph of you?
Every time I look at it
It makes me feel blue!

What use is a souvenir
Of something we once had
When all it ever does is
Make me feel bad!

I wish I could tear it up
But then again I haven't the guts!
I wish I could throw it on the fire
I wish I could
But to say I would
I'd be a liar!

What good is a colour print
Of a little baby doll?

Do you ever get that feeling
When the guilt begins to hurt
Seeing all the children
Wallowing in dirt
Crying out with hunger
Crying out in pain
At least the dirt will wash off
When it starts to rain

Soap won't wash away your shame

Do you ever get that feeling
That something isn't right
Seeling your brother's fists
Clenched ready for the fight
Soon the fighting turns to weapons

Someone will call
Something will fall
And smash on the floor
Without reading the text
Know what comes next
Seen it before
And it's painful

Things must change
We must re-arrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm saying
A game's not worth playing
Over and over again

You're the one I like best
You retain my interest
You're the only one
If it wasn't for you

I've told myself so many times before
But this time I think I mean it for sure
We have reached a full stop
Nothing's going to save us from the big drop
Reached our natural conclusion
Outlived the illusion
I hate being in these situations
That call for diplomatic relations
If I only knew the answer
Or I thought we had a chance
Or I could stop this
I would stop this thing

Celebrate the fact
That we've see the back
Of another black day

Black day
Black day

I want to take you in my arms
Forgeting all I couldn't do today

Black day
Black day

Nothing of this
I taste when we kiss
Come back to the land
For a few hours
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
I taste when we kiss
I taste when we kiss
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss
Let me see you stripped down to the
I taste when we kiss
I taste when we kiss
Let me see you stripped down to the
I taste when we kiss
I taste when we kiss

The things you do
Aren't good for my health
The moves you make
You make for yourself
The means you use
Aren't meant to confuse
Although they do
They're the ones that I would choose
And I wouldn't want it any other way
You wouldn't let me anyway

Dangerous
The way you leave me wanting more
Dangerous
That's what I want you for
Dangerous
When I am in your arms
Dangerous

Well I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest, among the blessed
Mother are you waiting
Father are you pacing
I'm coming home

I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest, in my Sunday best
Mother are you anxious
Father are you gracious
I'm coming home

I've been away too long
For so long you've been strong
I've been away too long
I know that it was wrong

Don't know the reason why I
Think I've been here before
This place seems so familiar
But then I can't be sure
Here comes that time again when
You'll walk right out the door
Don't tell me secrets anymore

And fools don't run away
You'll be followed another day
And all the chances that fall your way
Are in the fire on your dying day
So call me now and tell me that you're home

Happiest girl I ever knew
Happiest girl I ever knew
Wanted to feel the joy
Flow between our lips
Wanted to feel the joy
Flow between our hips

Happiest girl I ever knew
Why do you smile the smile you do

Happiest girl I ever knew

Wanted to feel the joy
Pass between our eyes
Wanted to feel the joy
Pass between our thighs

And I would have to pinch her
Just to see if she was real

Put up the barriers shut down your senses
Cover up with all of your pretences
See no evil, your eyes are blunted
We are the hunters, we are the hunted

Place it in your memory
Leave it in your past
But don't forget

Taking a tumble, I'm taking a dive
Sometimes I stumble when my mind's made up
Reaction levels seem strangely muted
Ordinary acts of fun have been diluted

My joy
The air that I breathe
My joy
In god I believe
My joy
You move me
My joy
The blood in my veins
My joy
Flows in your name
My joy
You move me

I'm not a mountain, no
You move me

My joy
Heavenly bliss
My joy
The pleasures I've missed
My joy
You move me

I'm not a mountain, no
You move me

Well if you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way
Take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago
To LA
More than two thousand miles
All the way
Get your kicks on Route 66

Well it goes to St. Louis
Down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks oh so pretty
You'll see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona

Sea of sin
I'm swimming in
And I'm taking a dive
My mind's in need
So my body feeds
And it keeps me alive
It gets better and better
As it gets wetter and wetter
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
But I don't care

Sea of sin
Through thick and thin
For better or worse
My mind's in need
So my body feeds
And it quenches my thirst
You look cheaper and cheaper

All I want to do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile
Smiled the way it was before
Well I'll try not to hold you
And I'll try not to kiss you
And I won't even touch you

And all I want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true

I remember the days when we walked trough the woods
We'd sit on a bench for a while

Laying on your holy bed
by the hallowed door
Feeling like an infidel
Not worthy of your call
Tempted by your innocence
Beckoned to my fate
I won't face the consequence
I wouldn't hesitate

I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

Shackled like an animal
Chained to my desires

New sound all around
You can hear it too
Get it hot, never stop
Just for me and you
Playing on my radio
And saying that you had to go

New day, turn away
Wipe away the tear
New night, feel alright
Knowing that you're here
Dancing with you all the time
And don't you think that it's a crime

Back street, never meet
Never say goodbye
I know where you go
But I don't know why

Running through my head secretly
The shouts of the boys in the factory
I ring you on the telephone silently
Like blood, like wine in the darkroom scene

The darkroom scene, darkroom scene

A letter, once composed
Seven years long and as tall as a tree
Reading on the wall
Emissions, efficiency

Efficiency, efficiency

Resurrect, as a feeling, on my window
Of a past reunion

She was silent trying to be
Like the girl who acted on the TV
Always knowing when to say
Wishing for a moment so that they could see

Staring in the night
A picture in my room
And I think that she knew her lines

Break away tonight
I wanna hold your hand
We've got to get it right
We've got to understand

Carefully watching waiting as I

Saturday night, you look so chic

Been waiting for this moment, been waiting all week

The pub is crowded, much too hot

The boys, they're dancing, they just can't stop

Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance

You dance your dance, you dance your chance

Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance

You dance with pride and you dance with pride

Ice cold drinks, get sold tonight

I can't help it, I'm not sure what to do
Does seem crazy, no good for my health
I've seen the doctor, he's come to look at me
If you don't believe it, don't believe

Closer all the time, Closer all the time
Closer all the time, Closer all the time

Now I'm saying how I'm going to need a pill
I need you like a drug to keep my fill
I can't remember everything I do

I like it, I like it
I like the way you run your fingers through my hair
And I love the way you tickle my chin
And I like the way you let yourself in when your mommy's not there
I like it, I like it
I like the things you say and all the things you do
And I like the way you straighten my tie
And I like the way you're winking your eye
And I know I like you
And I know I like you

Reason Man

Don't know, present time
Children of the other crime
All my dreams are wasting now
No more reason, see the cloud
As I watch you from the road
Find it open, Reason Man
Find it open, Reason Man

Moving in there's nothing to see
One look and you'll always regret
Thinking someone ought to hear
If you listen and only fear
Things were edging to the right

You can see them running through me baby
You can see the lights in their eyes
You can see the masses raising me
And I'm preaching them more lies
I'm just a mass-form communication
I sell what everyone buys
You know my appearance is changing
Changing for modern times

I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set

Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink all you can but you won't forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in every crowd

That's the price of love, the price of love
A debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame

Kiss one girl, kiss another
Kiss them all but you won't recover
