2004 B-sides & Extras Lyrics

This Morning — B-side to The End of the World 7″/CD single

Nothing left to feel
Nothing more to do
Nothing left to give
Nothing more in you
Nothing else to have or hold
Nothing left but time to go…
Time to go…

Years go by…
We didn’t really say that much at all
And months just fly…
We didn’t ever really touch at all
Weeks always run down…
We didn’t really get that close at all
And days, days fall out…
We didn’t ever really know at all

And then we’re here in a room
Too clean and too bright
She stares at you for an hour
You stare into the light
For one last hour in the room
So mean and so white
I stare at her in this room
As she stares into the night…

Nothing left to feel
Nothing more to do
Nothing left to ask
Nothing more of you
Nothing else to share or show
Nothing left but time to go…

In his eyes as we turned…
No eternity of life
In his eyes as we turned…
No infinity of why
In his eyes as we turned…
No beautiful goodbye
In his eyes as we turned…
Nothing but tears…
In his eyes as we turned…
Nothing but tears…

(Spoken)
The dawn call was broken, short, disconnected, far away…
I couldn’t understand too much of what was being said…
A matter of minutes, peacefully, so sorry…
I had to think to breathe, my heart bursting in my head…
We moved in silence through a slowly waking world of pale grey rain…
And as we drove, a strange sun split the sky…
In that moment I knew nothing would ever be the same again…
Nothing would ever be the same again…
Nothing would ever be the same again…

The days fall out…
The weeks always run down…
The months just fly…
The years go by…

And then we’re here in a room
Too clean and too bright
I stare at you for an hour
You stare into the light
For one last hour in the room
So mean and so white
You stare at me in this room
As I stare into the night…

Nothing left to feel
Nothing more to do
Nothing left to take
Nothing more from you
Nothing else to need or know
There’s nothing left at all but time to go…

Fake — B-side to The End of the World CD single

I can’t fly
I never really could
I don’t feel you ever understood at all
No I can’t fly
I never really could
I just throw my arms out as I fall…

Always say you know me
But you don’t know at all
Only want to hold me
But I’m not here to hold
Always say you know me
But you don’t know at all
Only want to show me
But I’m not yours to show
Oh, no…

I don’t dream
I never really did
Don’t believe you ever took this in too good
No I don’t dream
I never really did
I just wake and make up as I should…

No…I don’t dream
No…I don’t dream
No…I don’t dream…

Oh, I won’t see
I never really would
I don’t sense you ever realized it right
No, I won’t see
I never really would
I just roll my eyes up out of sight…

Always say you know me
But you don’t know at all
Only want to hold me
But I’m not here to hold
Always say you know me
But you don’t know at all
Only want to show me
But I’m not yours to show
Oh no…

I can’t ever come back if I never go
I don’t ever explain if I never know
I won’t ever take it if I never give

And if I never live…

Why Can’t I Be Me? — B-side to Taking Off 7”/CD singles and alt.end CD single

Uh-huh…Doo doo doo…
I try so hard to be just for you
Careful what I want to know and what I do
Make my second nature all you ever see
You’re sure it’s the only way to be

Never go too far or ever stay too late
Worry what I think about and what I say
Make this second nature all I ever show
You’re sure it’s the only one to know
You’re sure it’s the only way to go

But why can’t I…
Why can’t I…believe?
Believe?
Why can’t I…believe?

I don’t want to break it down with you
When and if I ever did is never who
Take my second nature all you ever need
You’re sure it’s the only way to feel

Always run it back before I really should
Bit lip sorry every time to make it good
Take this second nature all I ever play
You’re sure it’s the only one to stay
You’re sure it’s the only way…
But why…can’t I…
Why…can’t I…
Why can’t I…
Why can’t I…
Why?
Why?
Why…can’t I be me?
Simply inelegant…

Your God Is Fear — B-side to Taking Off CD single and alt.end CD single

Your god is fear
That all you are is all there is
Your god is fear
Of nothing more than all of this
Your god is fear
Of been and gone
In the blink of an eye
Fear of ever breathing it
Fear of ever leaving it
Fear of ever changing forever for now
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
Your god is fear

Your god is fear
That all you are is all there is
Your god is fear
Of nothing more than all of this
Your god is fear
Of been and gone
In the blink of an eye
Fear of ever choosing it
Fear of ever losing it
Fear of ever playing forever for now
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
Your god is fear

Just for a moment
Feel it inside
Feel it alive
Feel your desire
Feel it catch fire
Feel it inspire

Oh, know all you are
Is all there is
Nothing ever more
Than any of this
Open your mind
Step out of time
Let yourself die
And your god is…
Your god is…
You’re god

Want to Be Yours (aka Da Hype) — Collaboration with Junior Jack

I’m flying again!
It’s so good to pretend
I’m in love with the end
I just want to be yours

I’m falling away…
It’s so good to just play
I’m in love with today
I just want to be yours
Only want to be yours

I just want to be yours
Only want to be yours

You and me
All there ever is
You and me is anyone
You and me
Nothing more than this
You and me is everyone
Is everyone
Is everyone

I’m floating in you…
It’s so good to be two
I’m in love with the view
I just want to be yours

Only want to be yours

I’m flying again!
It’s so good to pretend
I’m in love with the end
I just want to be yours
Only want to be yours

I just want to be yours
Only want to be yours

Truth is — Collaboration with Tweaker on 2AM Wakeup Call album

“Oh, baby, you’re everything to me”, she said
“Oh, baby, you’re the best thing that I ever had…
Oh, baby, you’re everything to me”, she said
“Oh, baby, you’re the reason why I’m never bad…”, she said

I’m telling lies again – she didn’t really care
I’m telling lies again – she did it everywhere
I’m telling lies again – she didn’t ever need
Oh, baby you’re everything, everything to me…

“Oh, baby, you’re so easy to believe”, she said
“Oh, baby, you’re the one thing that I never had…
Oh, baby, you’re so easy to believe”, she said
“Oh, baby, you’re the reason why I’m never sad…
Yeah, baby you’re so easy to believe”, she said

I’m telling lies again – she didn’t really come
I’m telling lies again – she did it everyone
I’m telling lies again – she didn’t ever leave
“Oh, baby you’re so easy
so easy to believe…
Yeah, baby you’re everything to me”, she said

I never remember if I’m him or her or me…
Do I wake up in or out of this?
As them or you or we?
I never remember who I wondered
When I was
If they ever were
The why or where
The how and what was lost…

Truth is – I’m never the same
Truth is – I’m never to blame
Truth is – I’m never in pain
Truth is I’m lying I’m lying I’m lying I’m lying…

Truth is I’m lying again

Strum — Unreleased from The Cure sessions

It will be so perfect, I say
Too beautiful for words
It will be…so perfect I say

My words are stupid, worthless, merely so much noise
I want to cover up the wall
Good things really never run the first time through
Adapted for our latest ploy
A pantomime of feeling good good good!
And waving as the smile’s just in
But really I have never cared less in my life
To ever smile again

I sit before the mirror white and draw my red eyes black
My head is full of everyone you ever knew
Reflected, tired and cracked

My act is empty, hopeless, only so much fluff
A show to cover up the stage
Before it’s wrong to satisfy another you in
Acting out this tired charade
A pantomime of feeling good good good good good!
Drowning as the smile drips down
But really I have never cared less in my life
If it ever turns around

I sit before the mirror cold and paint my black mouth red
Your head is full of everyone I ever knew
Reflected, old and dead

Could still be perfect, you say
Too beautiful for words
It will still…
Be perfect…
Yeah

Please Come Home — Unreleased from The Cure sessions

I wait at the window
Watching the world go round
I wonder where you are now
I wish you were here now

Waiting at the window
I watch the rain come down
Wondering what to do now
Wishing you were here now

I don’t understand why you couldn’t stay
I don’t understand why you went away
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t say
I only know I need you now to

Please, come back to me
Please, come home
Please, come back to me
Don’t leave me here alone
Not down here on my own

I watch out the window
Whispering hopeless words
I won’t let you go now
I want you here now

Watching out the window
I whisper a helpless word
Willing me back now
Wanting you here now

I don’t understand why you couldn’t stay
I don’t understand why you went away
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t say
I only know I need you now to

Please, come back to me
Please, come home
Please, come back to me
Don’t leave me here alone
Don’t leave me on my own
Don’t leave me here alone
Not down here on my own

Still I wait at the window
Watching the world go round
I wonder where you are now
Please, come home

A Boy I Never Knew — Unreleased from The Cure sessions

To have his arms around me
To sense his perfect trust
I’d give everything I have
Everything I have

I’d love to see him sleep
I’d love to know his dreams
To hold his hand in mine and listen to him breathe
To watch him as he wakes, look into his eyes
I’d give all I ever had for a moment of his life

He’s my heart and my soul
He’s my blood and my bones
He’s my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago
So long ago

I’d love to hear him laugh
I’d love to catch him smile
To join him so close, to feel him by my side
To have his arms around me, sense his perfect trust
I’d give everything I have for a moment of his love

He’s my heart and my soul
He’s my blood and my bones
He’s my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago

He’s my heart and my soul
He’s my blood and my bones
He’s my wishes and dreams
My prayers and my hopes
A boy I never knew
And the man I’ll never know
I’ll never know

To watch him as he wakes
Look into his eyes
I’d give all I ever had

Dragon Hunter’s Song — From French cartoon Dragon Hunters

I dream of all our days to come
A dragon in shapes in lines to burn
And wonder how we end this game

As on and on from stone to stone
The monsters come and go
And every one the step we follow back again

Oh, they can run
They can hide
But we will hunt

And we will find them
They can crawl
And then they die
Until our work is done

Yeah they can run
They can hide
But we will hunt
And we will find them
They can crawl
And they will die
That’s why it’s so much fun! Yeah

We only want a song to sing
A story told for us to live
And side by side we fight the beast

Floating words and floating world
We only wish this time we had was all
And spinning round we’ll be

Yeah, they can run
They can hide
But we will hunt
And we will find them
They come front
And then they die
Until our work is done

So they can run
They can hide
But we will hunt
And we will find them
They come front
And they will die
That’s why it’s so much fun

Someday
We’ll find ourselves in love
A wonderful day
Together on our own
Yes, someday
The legends turn to stone
A wonderful day
Just on and on
We make it home

Still wait for all our days to be
A dragon in shapes in memory
No wonder if we end the same

Around around around around it goes
The monster’s been and gone
And every one the step we follow back again

Yeah, always run
Always hide
And always hunt
And always find
But everyone
This week we’ll fight
That’s why it’s won…
