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
