Cosmic Blue 03:59
All the fault lines in the sea All your landslides that bury me In everything I ever will do Cosmic Blue (x4) All those letters you’re writing home Touch my fingers and turn to stone Forever wonderin’ who I’m listening to Cosmic Blue (x4) Summertime, and the livin’ is easy all around Wintertime, you’re hiding underground In a private place, from the hurting race In a vision, in a dream Something rising up from the sea Dark descending now, just travelling through Cosmic Blue (x8)

Tell Me 03:16
You don’t look how I used to know Your cigarette mouth, your caffeine soul Your trademark sneer, your manners vile I hardly recognised you when you smiled Tell me, what happened to my friend Tell me, whose life you’re living in Tell me, how to, where to begin Tell me You look like how I used to feel Every roving eye a winning deal Every rolling dice your lucky break Ah, every loving wife was yours to take So tell me, just who I have to know Tell me, how could I let her go Tell me, or tell me it ain’t so Tell me Sing it, sister! You look like someone I once knew Used to keep big bank notes in his shoe Used to smear your name all over town Only took some time to bring me down So tell me, what kind of world we’re living in Tell me, where losers turn to win Tell me, am I the joke they sing Tell me Tell me now, I gotta know

Donna, tell me if you wanna Share your love with me Don’t keep it in your corner Winking don’t tell me what you’re thinking Do you dream of me? “Don’t know, ask me tomorrow” At night I’m crying in my sleeves Who let that sun get out? The morning is fine Keep the light on in your mind Longing, fretting and yearning You’re the searching kind Am I a find worth keeping? But if that story ends We might still be friends “Don’t know, don’t think I’d wanna” And now I’m crawling on my knees Who let that feeling out? The morning is fine Keep the light on in your mind Darling, the morning is fine

Tombstones and rhinestones Treasure on the mark Sun drums on my sails Winds whip my mast And the cannons fire away Loading all day I won’t be land hoeing Till fears at bay from S.S. Sorrow I know what they’ll say, it’s my fault now Yes that’s what they say I know what they say That when your life is slipping overboard, “pray for me now” See you peeping when you’re sleeping Hoarding with one good eye I only miss you when You’re a thousand miles May the waves crash down, amen Carrying the sick and blind ‘Cause no good can come of all this Leaving them behind for endless oceans I know what they’ll say, it’s my fault now Yes that’s what they say I know what they say That when your life is slipping overboard, “pray for me now” If you’re leaving tomorrow Away with your sorrows You’re leaving a good thing behind No, no, I don’t know How far I will go As far as the wind stays behind

Life Goes On 04:11
One tattered shoe and a box full of roses How does he make you happy? Is it inside his trousers? It must be you: our love could never die I try and read it in your face The skin is gone The waste is set in card and stone I shoot my mouth off I watch it burn ‘Cause life goes on, I heard the man explain Life goes on, for you to wallow in your pain The day is long, the night time too She says she’s having problems She says, “It’s not me, it’s you” But I saw you kiss him Beneath those stairs You thought I was out shopping The store was closed! Excuse the hand that breaks my bones I shoot my mouth off I’ll never learn That life goes on, I heard the man explain Life goes on, for you to wallow in your pain Say it’s not true! Everything is broken Stride in on your white horse Thinkin’, baby, that it’s Trojan Peel back the hurt Try and fill it with holes Try and rekindle all your faith In her sweet song ‘Cause life goes on, I heard the man explain Life goes on, for you to wallow in your pain Life goes on Hey, a lot goes on, babe, beyond my detection I’ve been loose with my love and affection A phony grin, and a smile that was meant for three

No way, no how No underside Bell rings, next bout Still undecided You won’t let, you won’t let me rise above You won’t let, you don’t get it my one Even bad love’s hard to find Stay here a little while These things I’ll find By now you’re down Too late to fight it You won’t let, you won’t let me rise above You won’t let, you don’t get it, my one Even bad love’s hard to find And at night all the dark things rise Grabs your heart, presses your lungs As I watch horizons bend For hours and hours, lonely for a friend No way, no how No underside I’m in, I’m out I’m in decline You won’t let, you won’t let me rise above You won’t let, you don’t get it my one Even bad love’s hard to find
