Set Yourself on Fire Lyrics

Title
- God that was strange to see you again
- Introduced by a friend of a friend
- Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
- In that instant it started to pour,
- Captured a taxi despite all the rain
- We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
- And all of the time you thought I was sad
- I was trying to remember your name...
- This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
- Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
- Now you're outside me
- You see all the beauty
- Repent all your sin
- It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
- I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
- I'll write you a postcard
- I'll send you the news
- From a house down the road from real love...
- Live through this, and you won't look back...
- Live through this, and you won't look back...
- Live through this, and you won't look back...
- There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
- You were what I wanted
- I gave what I gave
- I'm not sorry I met you
- I'm not sorry it's over
- I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
- I'm not sorry there's nothing to save...

- In a village in the hills
- House buried to the window sills in snow
- In a prison yard at night
- An Alsatian barking for the stars to go
- In the attic of a house
- In the slats of light which creep across the room
- In a forest grove at dawn
- Where the animals sleep hidden in the gloom
- On the 97th floor overlooking Tokyo
- In Camden road in a second floor flat with
- Dilworth down below
- There is only one thing
- There is only one thing
- In a cancer ward where the patients sit
- Waiting patiently to die
- In an aeroplane high above the place
- You finally left behind
- In a cage where only one thing could be free
- And it's not you and I
- In a cage where only one thing could be free
- And it's not you and I
- In every single place that has ever, ever been
- Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between
- There is only one thing
- There is only one thing
- One thing
- In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen
- In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen
- In the diary of a priest, in the sheets that lie upon his bed
- Out there amongst the waves and inside your lover's head
- There is only one thing[x6]
- There is only one... thing
- 20 years asleep before we sleep... forever
- 20 years asleep before we sleep... forever...

- Ageless beauty
- Cruelty makes its holes
- But on the shoreline
- Time will hold its promise
- We will always be a light
- You can see it from the surface, see it
- We will always be a light
- You can see it from the surface, see it
- We will always be a light
- Tattered fingers
- Lingering on the warm and foolish
- Hardened faces
- Graceless, we'll lose the battle
- We will always be a light
- You can see it from the surface, see it
- We will always be a light
- You can see it from the surface, see it
- We will always be a light
- Oceans won't freeze
- So loosen your heart
- Underestimated
- Undefeated in this love
- We will always be a light
- You can see it from the surface, see it
- We will always be a light
- You can see it from the surface, see it
- We will always be a light

- In the year of my decline
- Sucking freezies in the rain
- Driving twisted in the suburbs
- And then driving back again
- Seventeen and half alive
- Headlights illuminate the school
- Inhale the powder from the science class, yeah nearly dying felt so cool
- Your face is all that hasnt changed
- Youre reassembled just like me
- But when i reach to touch your hand
- You stroke mine gently
- All i want is one more chance to be young and wild and free
- All i want is one more chance to show you,
- You were right for me
- You were right for me
- Im back in gym and its the same
- As my name tag floats away
- I had 6 too many drinks last night yes
- And thats why i made you stay
- Plus i always wanted you
- You liked to rock it in your car
- You said you didnt understand me
- Because i always tried to see too far
- Well Tainted Love's too fast to dance to
- So lets leave them all behind
- They hated us with everything they had
- And we hated them in kind
- All i want is one more chance
- To be young and wild and free
- All i want is one more chance to show you,
- You were right for me
- Reunion, reunion..reunion, reunion...

- How could you do it
- I couldnt say
- Years built on sand
- June until may
- Second to second
- Lied even while you held my hand
- Its death for the living
- Yes i am a ghost
- The mirror is cloudy
- I loved you the most
- You threw out the pieces
- Did things we didnt understand
- He doesnt want her but he just wont let her go
- She started breaking but she still wont let it show
- The clothes in the wardrobe
- Just send them to me
- Theres bills her for you
- Thats cause nothing is free
- We build up with things
- To make us who we want to be
- Is she in the background
- I just wouldnt know
- Did i build you a prison
- Please dont let me go
- Ive unlocked the doors
- But you cant walk away from me
- He doesnt want her but he just wont let her go
- She started breaking but she still wont let it show
- He doesnt want her but he just wont let her go

- You look so good in the clothes of a poser
- And when you smiled all the kids fell apart here
- I know a place where it's warm and it's dry, dear
- Let me take you there
- North of the river all the streets are the same
- We can pretend that they don't know our name
- And the heat is turned all the way to full
- So don't pretend that you don't feel the pull
- I am trying to say
- What I want to say
- Without having to say
- You look so good in the shoes of an outcast
- I kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last
- But then I knew you, I knew you, I knew you
- I really knew you
- We fell apart in the parties of the empty heart
- We danced the junkies in the shadows of bad modern art
- We clicked our heels and we wished we were home
- One more tab and your silk hits the chrome
- I am trying to say
- What I want to say
- Without having to say
- I am trying to say
- What I want to say
- Without having to say
- Springs comes in when I'm rolling up another one
- I draw the curtains in the glare of the same old sun
- We are collapsed in the act of just being here
- Three blues, two greens and a beer...
- We are collapsed in the act of just being here
- Three blues, two greens and a beer...
- I am trying to say
- What I want to say
- Without having to say
- I am trying to say
- What I want to say
- Without having to say

- Try as he might he's unable to speak
- He grabs her by the hair, he strokes her on the cheek
- The bed is unmade like everything is
- Dark little heaven at the top of the stairs
- Take me like that, ruin it all
- Then build it again by the light in the hall
- He drops to his knees says please my love, please
- I'll kill who you hate, take off that dress, you won't freeze
- One more night, that was a good one
- One more night, i dreamed it was a good one
- One more, one more night, that was a good one
- One more night, the end should be a good one
- A good one
- He starts with her back cause that's what he sees
- When she's breaking his heart she still fucks like a tease
- Release to the sky, look him straight in the eye
- And tell him that now, that you wish he would die
- You'll never touch him again so get what you can
- Leaving him empty just because he's a man
- So good when it ends, they'll never be friends
- One more night, that's all they can spend
- One more night, that was a good one
- One more night, i dreamed it was a good one
- One more, one more night, that was a good one
- One more night, the end should be a good one
- A good one

- We dont want to sleep tonight
- Still young like that i count the lines
- Beside your mouth that smiles now
- My arms reach up as you go down
- With buried heads we both forget
- All of the past and its regret
- Wind picks up, the window shakes
- We wont hear the morning break
- You will cry
- And i will cry
- Cuz all the love's
- Alive tonight
- Neighbourhoods will try to dream
- While you and me we hold and lean
- Onto bodies slick and charged
- Together just one beating heart
- All around us quiet now
- We hear the leaves fall to the ground
- Morning light upon our bed
- An ally while i catch your breath
- You will cry
- And i will cry
- Cuz all the love's
- Alive tonight
- You will cry.....repeat

- The first time, in your backyard
- Underneath the plastic sheeting
- Outside, it was pouring
- And we were drunk as shit
- Next time, at a party
- When all our friends were there
- There's nothing like their mattresses
- Underneath the stair
- The third time, in the doorway
- Lights all on around us
- And the audience beside us
- And the old man watching from a tree
- Fourth time, I said that's it
- You've agreed to give me everything
- Now I've got to ask you one thing
- Keep doing that forever
- Fifth time in your bedroom
- And finally, we rested
- And you leaned upon your elbow
- And began to speak to me
- But you stopped yourself and kissed me
- And I grabbed your lips and told you
- I know, I know, I know
- I feel the same as you
- And everyday, it's changed since then
- In every way, I've changed since then
- And everyday, it's changed since then
- In every way, I've changed since then
- Driven outside
- I've driven you
- Driven outside
- I've driven you
- [Thanks to [siff] (sixinchesfromfate@gmail.com) for these lyrics]
- What gives you the right?
- To fuck with our lives?
- A devil born in paradise
- A liar loves to lie
- Keep watching your back
- Killers always have killers on their track
- Keep watching the sky
- 'cause you might get lucky again
- I hope your drunken daughters are gay!
- You are the shadow of fear!
- Yoou scare the love out of here
- Like an ape in a cage
- Small white man in a rage
- Mellow suit, mellow smile
- Limousines down murder mile...
- Watch the devil's at play!
- Drain the bottle empty
- California today
- Tomorrow it's you and me...
- [Thanks to [siff] (sixinchesfromfate@gmail.com) for these lyrics]
- So tomorrow there will be another number
- For the one who had a name
- A desert wind and a perverse desire to win
- History buried in shame
- [Chorus:]
- Are those beating drums
- Celebration guns
- The thunder and the laughter
- The last thing they remember
- And then the next day
- How will you know your enemy
- By their colour or your fear
- One by one you can cage them
- In your freedom
- Make them all disappear
- [Chorus]
- Goodnight, sleep light, stranger[repeat]
- [Thanks to [siff] (sixinchesfromfate@gmail.com) for these lyrics]
- We are here to save your life
- The fool, the drunk, the child, and his wife
- We won't let the sun go down
- We gonna chase the demons out of town
- Singing when you feel alone
- Backwards through the megaphone
- Singing to the ones you love
- And the ones you'd like to be rid of.
- We are here to take the blame
- To take the taunts and if the shame
- We are here to make you feel
- It terrifies you, but its real
- It will keep you up all night
- And in the flood of morning light
- Spilling out across your room
- You say the words will get there soon
- The revolution wasn't bad
- We hit the streets with all we had
- A tape recording with the sound
- Of the Velvet Underground
- A K-Way jacket torn to shreds
- And a dream inside our heads
- And after changing everything
- They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
- After changing everything
- They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
- They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
- And that changes everything.

- If I am lost for a day; try and find me
- But if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me
- All of the things that I thought were so easy
- Just got harder and harder each day
- December is the darkest and June is the light but this empty bedroom won't make anything right
- While out on the landing a friend I forgot to send home
- Who waits up for me all through the night
- Calendar girl whos in love with the world Stay alive
- Calendar Girl whos in love with the world Stay alive
- I dreamed I was dying; as I so often do
- And when I awoke I was sure it was true
- I ran to the window; threw my head to the sky
- And said whoever is up there,please don't let me die
- But I can't live forever,I can't always breath
- One day I'll be sand on a beach by a sea
- The pages keep turning, I'll mark off each day with a cross
- And I'll laugh about all that we've lost
- Calendar Girl who is lost to the world
- Stay Alive
- Calendar Girl who is lost to the world Stay Alive
- January,February,March,April,May I'm alive
- June,July,August,September,October I'm alive
- November,December,yah all through the winter, I'm alive
- I'm alive
