The Party's Over lyrics

Well did I tell you before
When I was up
Anxiety was bringing me down
I'm tired of listening to you
Talking in rhymes
Twisting round to think
You're straight down the line

All you do to me is talk talk
Talk Talk
Talk Talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk Talk
Talk Talk
All you do to me is talk talk

If every sign that I see is to complete
Then I'm a fool in your game

(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
Funny how I find myself
In love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I would pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself how much do you
Commit yourself
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose
I would tell myself what good you do

(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
Nobody knows how long
Rustling leaves unrhyme I'm sorry
Lullaby breeze unsung
Babel of dreams unwinds in memory
As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
And love is only sleeping
Wrapped in neglect
Time it's time
to live
Time it's time to live for living
Time it's time to live
Now that it's all over
Time it's time to live

(Mark Hollis / Ian Curnow)
One by one
Every courtesy is gone
And the show begins
Bring on the clowns
Pain is quiet
I've laughed at silence
For the last time
Let the show begin
For the last time
Sometimes one
Sometimes each of us is wrong
But the show begins
Bring on the clowns
Blind to reason
These eyes are dreaming
For the last time
Let the show begin
For the last time

(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
Makes you feel much older
Sublime the blind parade
It wrecks me how they justify their acts of war
They assemble, they pray
Take good care of what the priests say
'After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep don't let your feet stray
Happiness is easy
Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love

I'm picking up again
Waint it got too much
After the accident
It could feel no worse
I turned around and saw him hit the ground
Alittle earlier, it was a game
I guess the barrier
Must have dropped away

I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through

Did you see my photograph
It was on page ten
I swore to everyone
I'm not to blame

(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
Better parted
I see people crying
Truth gets harder
There's no sense in lying
Help me find a way from this maze
I can't help myself
When I see tenderness before you left
Forget
That even breaking up was never meant
Forget
But only angels look before they tread
Forget
Living in another world to you
Better parted
I see people lying
Speech gets harder

And when you're hanging round
waiting on the other side of town

Kick a stone on a painted wall.
And when the riot comes keep your head and keep your loving charm

Living life is a glamour show - but it's another word
it's another word.
All soldiers have a cause giving life upon graffitied walls
As a way to pass the time.
I saw a father's fear for a leader standing over here.

(Mark Hollis)
Say goodnight
Every hour brings the morning of my life
Out of time
Every breath I take I'm further down the line
Here I stand left behind
My eyes are open wide
If you need me you should try
Say goodnight
Every hour brings the morning of my life
Out of tune
Every step I take I take it over you
I don't care what people say
I don't care if night is day
