Here's Some That Got Away lyrics

Cut the cake and drop the fine
I've seen good friends go down the line
This part of town where the sun don't shine
Always on the connection
This wind blows cold inside the flats
The screams start up like howling cats
Righted when I kick up dust
Be there on the connection

Could spend your life while spend the cash
Sell your soul or just your ass
Beat the boredom by beating someone

The harbour lights that shine before me
The jewels that gleam from a beckoning sea
The rising shrieks that come from below me
The rushing winds of age and time
To close my eyes and feel the fall
To not resist unto the pull
Oh it's easy
So, so easy

The tiny scent that breezes past me
The promise that all could be mine
Just lose myself and make it easy

What you asked for is what I gave
No questions stopped at and nothing saved
From my scarcity of presence to my rarely seen bed
I took you in hoping that you'd be a friend
Now I'm so scared of the weeks ahead
What I dreamed of I saw in you
I needed someone that I could trust too
But you smashed down all my faith with your callous lies
From the etching of daybreak to the canvas of moonlight

Can it be a part of me has changed alot
That you have come into my life and brought so much
With your sweet loving ways
I don't want to change
Sweet loving ways
Let me just say
That your sweet loving ways have saved

I remember watching you from far away
Now my love grows stronger near you every day

With your sweet loving ways
I don't want to change
Sweet loving ways
Let me just say

Back in the party chambers
Laughter, records loud
I guess my guests are alright
They won't miss me for awhile
'Cause I need to be alone
Let me sink in sadness
'Cause I can't forget her
She was on my mind and
Try as I might I spend all my time -
Thinking 'bout her

And I walk to the waters edge of the lake and I
gaze at my reflection
and for a moment I think I see her but

Oh night after night - I still miss you baby
Night after night - I still want your love
Since you've been gone my whole life has changed
Without your love mine's just not the same
Day after day your on my mind
Thinking of you takes up all of my time

I still miss you baby
Night after night I still want your love

I toss and turn in my empty bed
Memories of you keep dancing in my head

Down and down I went - in a spiral wheel
Til I coudn't touch and I couldn't feel
Then you came along and pulled me up
Showed me all the things that I'd forgot
Don't let it go - don't let it stop
Don't let it fool - don't let it drop
I've not come this far not to let it go
Now I have your love I won't let it go

Here is the part that I want it to be
If you want to stay with me

Oh I think it's too late baby
Oh I think it's too late again
Trying to look back over my shoulder
I could see my past oh so clear
And I remember how, how I used to hold her
Oooh it makes me wish that she was here

Too many love pains
Jealous inside
Too many love pains
Too many scars for us to hide
Too many love pains just because of foolish pride

Tired of dust and dirt to clean
This place once loved, now makes me sick
I've got to get away
I've passed the places of my youth
Torn out pages from a well-read book
I dream awhile - but I leave it anyway

But I can still remember when
I could still laugh and call you friend
And only you -

You used to talk so wild and free
Now you can't remember what you used to be

I've counted all the pores of my skin
I've listed all the places I've been
I'm trying not to keep it out of my mind
I'm trying to remember my lines
I'm trying to will the sun to shine
So I don't crack and crumble with time

Deep inside I've determined to win
I must admit to the skin I'm in
I ain't going under this time
This time I've made up my mind
I ain't going under this time

Guilty of the old excuse
Of losing myself to you
But I'm only human
I think in time things can only get more confused
If I make the same mistake
Of thinking it's all quite plain
Please excuse my ignorance
But I've never felt this before

In love for the first time
Our hearts beat almost in time
And nothing else seems to matter

There's nothing else that's on my mind

I close my eyes - I reach out my hand
And there you are - beautiful in scabs
Caressing my scalp - under the mounts of the gun towers
I shout your name - I kick out in dreams
And here we are - the searchlight beams
The siren squeals - and hopeless shuffle to certainty

The crab lice bite - the typhoid smells
And I still here - handsome in rags

Who takes the heart from a stag
Who gets a hard-on with blood on their hands
Who strips the wonder of life
When they don't have the right
But they say it's fair game
And they won't feel no pain
As we feel no shame
So let the sun come down
Let our eyes close the blind
Let the rivers run dry
Let the forest life die
But who are they to decide
As if their right is divine

Hold on is what they say
To get any back to you will have to pay
Don't shout or get upset
It's the same message from the holy Tory government
Don't rock the sinking ship
And don't fly in the face of it
Work for your heaven's way
It's the same bullshit from the pulpit and the president

Hear keys getting in my way
It drives me crazy when I hear them say

It's funny how time seems to soften the blow
And only with time do I see at all
That the promises made were the start of the fall
The biggest mistake was to promise at all
Shout the odds
And what does it matter now?
That dreams are a passing cloud
Their place is taken
With many more fools like us

The time that we had we now have to repay
The sweet things we ate now leave a bitter taste

I, just like a fool let you go
Not knowing what I had lost
As only a fool would know
Still counting, but not the cost
And so not having much left to show
I tried to fool myself
As only a fool could show
Until she comes to me

I never thought that it would be this way
See I took it granted that you were here to stay

You with your brown eyes of blue
I couldn't see further than me

Hush little baby don't you cry
Momma's gonna buy you a nursery rhyme
And if that don't send you to sleep
Momma's gonna have to find the key
All of our worries are not our choice
Someone sees to that, I know not why
Things that we've worked for they started to sell
Now heaven is for angels and earth is hell

Hush little baby your time may come
When things as they are now will be undone

Who will buy this wonderful morning
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up with a ribbon
And put it in a box for me
So I could see it at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long

Who will buy this wonderful feeling
I'm so high I swear I could fly
Me oh my I don't want to lose it
So what am I to do
To keep this sky so blue
