Runaway

There may come a time When the days are short And you’re feeling like it just aint worth it all

And the sky is full Of the winter gale (?) But there’s something keeps you standing by her side

I know it’s not that you can run away Sometimes it’s better just to look the other way

When you’re all alone In the dead of night And you’re wide awake but you just can’t find that light ???

(spoken: And I can see that you’re at the bottom of the whale? You’re holding on but then you can’t afford to sail) You’ll get to know that everything will be just fine Forget that pretty baby sun is gonna shine

I know it’s hard but you can run away Sometimes it’s better just to turn the other way (Sha la la la)

Was there ever a time when wrong was right As you tried to hold on to the things that you like And I can’t count the times I felt sorry for you Cos you’re hollow inside like a black shade of blue???

Without you I’ll feel laughter and ??? that was made of ours??? Without you I won’t live like a beggar in paradise It’s the truth And I’m telling you straight I would never lie So walk away with me Walk away with me Like a runaway.

Everything rhymes. That is all you need to know.

Tanks for that!!!!

No, 'I feel lost in a world that was made of ice'

And it's not 'But there’s something keeps you standing by her side

I know it’s not that you can run away'

but:

But there's something keeps you standing by his side I know it's hard but you can run away'

and it's not 'Without you I won’t live like a beggar in paradise'

but: 'Without you I would live like a beggar in paradise'

All of these are just my best guesses, so corrections are welcomed.:)

Sink or Swim

Whatcha doing with that stupid little girl stop your fooling don't you know it's gonna hurt when she leaves you and you gave all you could give you'll be hurting for the one you should be with

Hey Whatcha doing with that stupid little girl stop your fooling don't you know it's gonna hurt when she leaves you and you gave all you could give you'll be hurting for the one you should be with

Twist of fate

I must be losing my mind, I'm gripped by feelings I don't understand it's not a part of my plan.

my hopes that once were so high were crushed and broken in the blink of an eye by the road side

and I just can't let it go this fever won't let me hang onto my pride it will never subside

So if you see her again tell her that I can wait undercover, in the shelter of a strange twist of fate

and I know what I'm doing is incredibly wrong that the music has ended but the beat just goes on and on

don't want to sound like I'm weak negotiations are about to begin it's got my head in a spin

and everyone that I meet complains that I don't act the same any more that I was better before.

So if you see her again tell her that I can wait undercover, in the shelter of a strange twist of fate

and I know what I'm doing is incredibly wrong that the music has ended but the beat just goes on and on

So if you see her again tell her that I can wait undercover, in the shelter of a strange twist of fate

and I know what I'm doing is incredibly wrong that the music has ended but the beat just goes on and on

Summer days

summer days on holiday drunken youths upon the street falling out of whisky bars making love and crashing cars

getting into hopeless fights with crazy girls we just weren't right this was 1983 the sun was burning bright for me

so shine on me my lord my lord so shine on me my lord my lord

I stumbled on a chance remark drinking in a late night crowd (or club?) it must have been in quadrant park where (most) got eaten by (blah) but summer days are sunny days the dodgy guys with wayward ways an' this was 1993 it was a special time for me

so shine on me my lord my lord so shine on me my lord my lord

but then a wind of change blew in a bed of roses laced with gin I didn't know what the hell he meant shaking the establishment two zero oh dear me this guy was off his tree

so shine on me my lord my lord so shine on me summer days on holiday drunken youths are on the street summer days are sunny days it was a special time for me my lord my lord

This is home

you flew so high but you're coming down the snow falls hard in tinseltown now there is a ghost where you once stood I know you'd leave this if you only could

this is home this is home

Just tell me that it's true I want you by my side girl I'm doing it for you you've got to open your eyes I'm gonna take you higher(higher higher higher) than a bird can fly girl I'm so in love with you don't even think that it is true

you're living underground with your despair I'll building you a ladder to the clear blue air this feeling invites you where ever you may roam I'm right there beside you wherever you may go

Just tell me that it's true I want you by my side girl I'm doing it for you I'm gonna open your eyes I'm gonna take you higher(higher higher higher) than a bird can fly girl I'm so in love with you don't think that it is true

this is home this is home

Just tell me that it's true I want you by my side girl I'm doing it for you I'm gonna open your eyes I'm gonna take you higher(higher higher higher) than a bird can fly girl I'm so in love with you don't even think that it is true

Running out of luck

What do you think you are proving baby it's not the way we should exist it's not the answer baby don't crush this flower with your fist

you could hold me with your mind you could know me but you can't keep on losing it's so hard to say we're running out of luck

It's the dawn of an era baby you could get better if you tried to recover baby then I'd be right there by your side like your shadow in your footsteps I would follow shoot as straight as an arrow through a tree that was hollow as your heart

Why do careless hearts fall into empty hands it's a trend that starts then lies down in the sand but it's the only way that I'll get through to you no matter what I say you'll just do what you do

Why don't you watch what you're doing baby when all your dreams have turned to dust what's the answer baby when you don't know who you can trust me forever, like a break in the weather like the snow on the ground I am waiting but I just can't stick around

Dynamo

Hey there what you gonna do keep the faith inside of you this whole world could fall apart but you're still the brightest star

Hey girl who you living with that guy's just a little kid spent his money on a car drove it to the nearest bar

What you gonna do about it this is your twist and shout it lift your heart and sing life is a precious thing life is a precious thing life is a precious thing

Old man living on the street scaring people off their feet but he's not starting world war three he wants to live in harmony

See that hound dog on the floor lying by the kitchen door he don't care about a thing his ignorance is not a sin

What you gonna do about it this is your twist and shout it lift your heart and sing life is a precious thing

you make me sick and tired beat up without a trial put down your arms and sing life is a precious thing life is a precious thing life is a precious thing

what you gonna do (x6)

Poisonous intent

Hey bad man where are you gonna go when you can't go back to the life you know when you feel it's time will you give me a sign it's a long hard road with your own bad mind

you keep saying something but you're doing nothing I'm here thinking that your full of shit it's like the whole worlds waiting what are you gonna do gonna take the money buy me something new hey what are you gonna buy for yourself gonna buy a guitar with my new found wealth with your new found wealth? with my new found wealth is there something else? no there's nothing else

Hey bad man where are you gonna go when you can't go back to the life you know when you feel it's time will you give me a sign it's a long hard road with your own bad mind

Hey you give it to me I wanna taste the honey my lifes's hollow and you beg steal and borrow but I can't help thinking what I always knew you've got a first class ticket with a third rate view and you can't go back no you can't go back no I can't come back so hit the road jack

help me find my way I can not fight another day I'm a searcher for a soul, reflective like the falls ago

Shine like the sun

We'll leave this town in the morning we'll build our love on the run we'll reach the sea by the sunset we'll chase the stars 'til the dawn

So don't say that you're losing my love together we shine like the sun

You saw the ghosts on the railroad you saw your life on the track they said they're going where the wind blows and now their never coming back

So don't say that you're losing my love together we shine like the sun we'll find a place that our hearts won't falter maybe our time it has come

We'll leave this town in the morning we'll build our love on the run we'll watch the wheels spinning faster I feel a change gonna come

So don't say that you're losing my love together we shine like the sun we'll find a place that our hearts won't falter maybe our time it has come

Head into tomorrow

Left her sleeping in autumn leaves with promises of summer breeze watch her dancing to natures song the melody will call me on

yeah and you gave it all away yeah

and I just can't stay watching rivers flowing to the sea got to find my way as I head into tomorrow

to find a path that leads to your door I felt the rapture on a lonely shore living life when the world's asleep but all your dreams they won't come cheap

yeah and you gave it all away yeah and I just can't stay watching rivers rolling into the sea catching breaking waves as I head into tomorrow as I head into tomorrow

Actually it's easier just to post all my interpretations of it lol

There may come a time when the days are short and you're feeling like it just ain't worth it all and the sky is cover for a winter gale but there's something keeps you standing by his side

I know it's hard but you can runaway sometimes it's better just to look the other way

when you're all alone in the dead of the night and you're wide awake but you just can't find that light

and I can see you're at the bottom of the well you're holding on but then you can't afford to sell

you've got to know that everything will be just fine forget that rainy day the sun is gonna shine

I know it's hard but you can't runaway sometimes it's better just to turn the other way

was there ever a time when wrong was right as you try to hold on to the things that you like and I can't count the times I felt sorry for you cos you're hollow inside (hollow hollow) like a bad shade of blue

So walk away with me walk away with me like a runaway

It's a bleeding mystery how all you thieving gits have got this....i'm still WAITING for the Giros' Call.

I think the last bit is "where moths got eaten by a dog" (or at least that's what it sounds like to me)!

Although, Quadrant Park was a Liverpool nightclub in the late 80's/early 90's, so it's unlikely that dogs/moths feature in it (despite my other posts! :p

Also, I'd take a guess that this:

"two zero oh dear me this guy was off his tree"

is actually

"two zero zero three this guy was off his tree"

(following the 10-year gap between 1983, 1993, and 2003 theme)!

Dogs and moths, that Bernard is a strange fellow lol

I agree 'two zero zero three' fits the song, but it really does sound like 'two zero oh dear me' I think Bernard might be indulging in a a bit of word play

Great job, Miss Terey!!!!

It sounds like it could be either, I guess.

OK so who is going to volunteer to steal the auto cue at one of the BL gigs?

and who has the largest coat to smuggle it out in?

Shine on

I see it as a madchester era reference, as well as a sun reference

Probably the song that the phrase originated from, but I'll stand to be corrected to those that know better than me.

'your moving underground'?

I hear: 'your living underground'.

Err, yes it is!

I've had another listen to Runaway, and I think it might atually be called Runway. As in the landing strip. It's a follow up to Jetstream
