This England made me between the war and rockets flyingAnd from the crib it saves me and teach me wrong and rightThe world was talking never got it's chance to sayToo much talking nobody hears a word you say You won't see and baby now I won't hearThese blind communications only last throughout the yearand half of what we're saying is half-way inner truthAnd blind communications for a million hearts and fools I am a witness to a land of a million foolsAll placing bets on life and hate the ones who loseAnd all who lonely never get the chance to sayThat the one and only would be the chance to even play You won't see and baby now I won't hearThese blind communications only last throughout the yearand half of what we're saying is half-way inner truthAnd blind communications for a million hearts and fools Hello Monday, the weekends just a blurI been burning bridges and now I'm begging at your doorSo keep on working cos its a chance for me to playToo much talking when you believe the words I say You won't see and baby now I won't hearThese blind communications only last throughout the yearand half of what we're saying is half-way inner truthBlind communications for a million hearts and fools

Up through all the streets you goBut little girl don't find her nameAnd we're all gone down roads to homesWhere everybody finds their game Just behind the street she goesWhere she'll be found behind her wheel'Cos it's the only place she knowsThat makes her know just how she feels 'Cos you're the biggest thingThat I seeYou've got me where you want meYou hunt me down, you haunt meAnd beg me to believe All too fast to where she goesBut who'll be first to find her nameAnd holding on in HollywoodBut holding on don't make the grade Just about when it's all rightThere's you and I, we'll find our wayBut it's holidays not HollywoodAnd holidays don't suit my game. 'Cos you're the biggest thingThat I seeYou've got me where you want meYou hunt me down and haunt meAnd beg me to believe Hollow days and hollow nightsBut everyone they find their wayIt hightlights you when things ain't rightAnd makes you want to find your place 'Cos you're the biggest thingThat I seeYou've got me where you want meYou hunt me down, you haunt meAnd beg me to believe

The mechanical wonder isIt's just a noise in my roomAnd I'm chasing the wonder andIt's just a hole in my tune And the radio plays but itBut it don't sing a songAnd the mechanical thunder isWhat is all going wrong And I walk down the road and II awake in a tuneBut the mechanical thunder isIt's just a noise in my room And we rode it onceOn a thundering nightSo I'll walk with you Where the locks take flight Oh machines make our lives todayAnd I like them the bestBut the mechanical thunder isIs just a noise in my head And the radio plays at meBut it don't sing a songBut the mechanical wonder isHow it's all going wrong And we rode it onceOn a thundering nightSo I'll walk with youWhere the locks take flightAnd we'll keep on throughIt's where the road don't roarWhere the farm once stoodWhere the union crawls, big time They're machines that I'm walking fromThough they play in the songsAnd the dreams that you're holding onDon't hold on for so long So I'm hiding machines awayBut I'll keep them for youBut the things that you wanna sayIs just a noise in my room And I look at the picture nowAnd there's a weight on us allBut the mechanical wonder isIt's a cure one and all And we rode it onceOn a thundering nightSo I'll walk with youWhere the locks take flightAnd we'll keep on throughIt's where the road don't roarWhere the farm once stoodWhere the union crawls, big time

You are amazingIt's the truthAnd it's often fadingWithout you I don't feel the wind blowI don't feel the hard rockI don't feel it when it breaks your heartI don't feel it all getTo far from the start You are a ladyIt's the truthAnd it's often shadyBehind you I don't feel the hollowI don't feel it all brokeI don't need it when you make your markI don't live in maliceI need a morning heart Standing here and hollowIt's the only thing brokeAnd it shakes you and it makes you startLike a singing widowWhich won't mend your heart You are amazingIt's the truth

If I gave you my heart where would you beWould it mean nothing if not for me?If I gave you my eyes what would they seeWould they see nothing if not for me? But I gave you my hand and my signAnd my soul on the earthAnd I gave up on truthWhen I heard about the worst So I lived out of loveWhen I gave it awayAnd I sold off my soulWhen there was no-one to pay If I gave you my hand what would it writeWould it say nothing or say it's alrightIf I gave you my arms would they hold you tightFirst light of morning or bid you goodnight And I gave you my strength and my worthAnd I gave you my giftAnd I moved on the firstAnd I left us to drift And I'll reap from the soilAnd I'll build homes from woodIt's a new better lifeAnd we have to and should And I gave you my dream of the worldAnd we stood on the quayAnd we sang to the windAnd the whole darkening sea And I feel my weightAnd I guard my soulAnd I found my beliefsWhen I found my control I gave you my hand And my soul on the earthAnd I gave up on the truthWhen I heard about the worst So I lived out of loveWhen I gave it awayAnd I sold off my soulWhen there was no-one to pay
