Octopus lyrics

Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?

Just because you can
You treat me like a fool
But just because you can
Don't make it right
Can it be so hard
To be a little kind
And you could be here
With me tonight

I've got feelings
Don't be unkind
Feelings
Don't be unkind
Feelings
Stay with me tonight
You've been stealing

Once there was a vision
Once there was a glow
Once there was a certainty
No chance could overthrow
Hope was scorched by summer
Crushed and beaten down
Once there was a winner
Now there was a clown
Without you life had seemed so
But now I'm

Filling up with Heaven
Without you life had
seemed so hostile
Filling up with Heaven
But maybe with you it's all worthwhile

Talking to your lover
On a non existent phone
Houseful of nothing
The joyous conversation
Of a creature quite alone
Houseful of nothing
The whir of passing traffic
The sighing of the breeze
Houseful of nothing
The awareness of a culture
That is fading by degrees
Houseful of nothing

A hint of a shadow
Or a picture by the door
Houseful of nothing
The creak of a staircase

I'll miss your naked body
I'll miss your mind
Human beings learn to miss
The things they leave behind
Another romance broken
It's time to go
Too late to contradict
What we already know
Closed my eyes
To the truth
And the lies
Never again
Won't ask why
Don't reply
I'll just say
Never again

Time tells
Your heart compels
Never again
Never take a chance
Again
Time tells

When you ask me do I mean it?
You have to know
You are the only one
You ask me if it is forever
How can I show?
There's no comparison

Beyond your doubt
Beyond devout
Beyond the stars tonight

One man in my heart
One man in my head
Oo la la la oo la la la
One man in my home
One man in my bed
Oo la la la oo la la la

My faith is stronger than existence
Longer than time
More fiery than the sun

Tell me when
Will I?
Tell me when
Will I?
Tell me when
Will I see you again?
Tell me when

Kelly took a lifetime
Searching for the bottom line
I wasn't into searching
'Cause I was doing fine
I wasn't into fighting, chasing,
Sweating, slaving, fretting, racing
Any waste of effort
Isn't part of my design
Billy was an inspiration,
positive and kind
Until he let confusion
Overcome his youthful mind

Ah ah

Here's a song
About living in the past
If it was so good then
How come it didn't last?
If it helps you
I'll put it in a phrase
Those were the times
But these are the days

These are the days
These are the days
These are the days
These are the days
These are the days

The times you're smiling back on
Had that great sitcom
It hardly compensated
For the terror of the bomb

Can you feel it when
your throat dries?
Can you see it in the night sky?
Just a mumble round at tea time
Smile
When I'm watching you

When I was a child
We were living in fear
Living in fear
When I was a child
Just a light year from here
Living in fear

Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
