Oh when she talks everyone listensShe casts a spell, she's a magicianShe says she's a saint but I just don't knowOh I told you so, Oh I told you so She walks in a line and everyone followsA promise so fine but just for tomorrowShe says that's ok but I just don't knowOh I told you so, Oh I told you so Yes I told you, I told youI told you, I told you soYes I told you, I told youI told you, I told you so When she gets home and nobody followsAlone in her shell she dreams of tomorrowShe says she's ok but I just don't knowOh I told you so, Oh I told you so Yes I told you, I told youI told you, I told you soYes I told you, I told you I told you, I told you so Oh when she talks everyone listensShe casts a spell, she's a magicianShe says she's a saint but I just don't knowOh I told you so, Oh I told you soOh I told you so, oh I told you so

We invent new words Just, so that we can use them There's shadows hanging over me now It's on the leyline waiting When the magic comes And the shit subsides Then you're on your way And our ship sets sail To the harbour cries To the crossroads where You make it sound so right But for the kiss I'm missing You're right it's hot and cold now And that becomes our distance When the magic comes And the shit subsides Then you're on your way And our ship sets sails To the harbour cries On a leyline where If I could find it in a shop You know I'd have to buy it Some people buy a church But moribund will find them When the magic comes And the shit subsides Then you're on your way And our ship sets sail To the harbour cries To the crossroads where

Bus stop stretching out before All along the High Street wall 'Til your eyes can't see no more Early evening in sunlight Turns the world to shine so bright Like a blind man given sight Like a million neon lights This old town won't let me go It's got my feet, it's in my soul There is no going back it's just forward now The silver screen it sees my gaze I try to look beyond the haze I could forgive it, everything is true Just take me with you too Out upon the empty floor The lone dancer spinning on Throwing caution to the wall There's a sign behind the door Says for dancers only sure And the lone dancer she knows She can never be lonely This old town tells you to stay Then you know you ain't getting away There is no going back it's just forward now These haunted halls play melodies So sweet and tender on life's breeze I could forgive it everything is true Just take me with you too There's a sign behind the door Says for dancers only sure And the lone dancer she knows She can never be lonely This old town tells you to stay Then you know you ain't getting away There is no going back it's just forward now These haunted halls play melodies So sweet and tender on life's breeze I could forgive it everything is true Just take me with you too

I let go of myself so I feel bad All I do is wait so I feel sad My mind slips away and I'm wondering how It all came to this, can I go now I'm the man in the middle D'you know how that feels The one in the middle you know And I don't really love you I've been here before I've been in the middle you see I don't have to go, so I stay home Wondering why I'm feeling so bad Don't you think that you, you could be strong 'Cos I'm not something to share And I'm on my own (Oh yes I am) I'm the man in the middle D'you know how that feels The one in the middle you know And I don't really love you I've been here before I've been in the middle you see

I'll check my hair, and get my shoes See my face, it's nothing new There's no-one here when there's no-one there So much you go for but no-one cares Don't get me high don't get me fooled Don't get me wrong on nights with you The locks are cold when there's no-one there I'd make them a bit stronger but we don't care Ba ba ba ba, ba ba baa You still don't care but if you had to choose Something so small could break this in two People like to say "people get stronger" Just before they fall out of their heads "Breaking up can make things seem much longer" Tell you "what you give is what you get" Ba ba ba ba, ba ba baa And what you need is what we share When we go home and it's just not there Ba ba ba ba, ba ba baaBa ba ba ba, ba ba baa

Breaking up inside her make-up case She's knows it's been a desperate day Making pointless phone calls to someone Who's never there, they don't answer anyway 'Cos only the loneliest girl in the whole-wide world Could feel that way And only the loneliest girl in the whole-wide world Makes her escape and fades away Writing countless letters to her God She knows he's there night and day Better than the friends that change and bend Then ain't there, then they run away 'Cos only the loneliest girl in the whole-wide world Could feel that way Only the loneliest girl in the whole-wide world Makes her escape then fades away Please make something happen Make it happen just for Jane Make it happen in the sunshine Make it happen even in the pouring rain 'Cos only the loneliest girl in the whole-wide world Could feel that way Only the loneliest girl in the whole-wide world Makes her escape then fades away, fades away
