Behind Closed Doors

Lyrics

Moth To The Flame Wake up on the floor like you did before And you don't know what today is So you shut out the sun until the day is done But you can't run away from it You must've done it all this time And nothing's really changed You pushed reality away And still wake up to find It wasn't all in your mind And it's always the same Another bad movie now You'll go crawling back again, oh Like a moth to the flame Take it to the edge, stumble on the ledge You're a candle that has to burn Cos you bought the dream And from the way that it seems You're living in that other world Where everything is beutiful And someone else will pay But you won't find an answer there Cos the question still remains You better hear what I say Do you feel like the rain ? Always coming down now Don't you tell me it's a game Cos I don't believe it You're a moth to the flame (SOLO) Where everything is beutiful And someone else will pay But you won't find an answer there Cos the question still remains You better hear what I say And it's always the same Another bad movie now You'll go crawling back again, oh Like a moth to the flame Don't you tell me it's a game Cos I don't believe it You're a moth to the flame Morley / Taylor / Hoglund Fly On The Wall Better lock the window, better bolt the door Change your number, and don't take that call In conversation, better watch your words One wrong move now, I'm gonna dig that dirt Nobody's ever too big to burn I leave no stone unturned In the quietest moment, when the lights go down When you don't expect it, I will be around Only one intention, wanna see you fall Cos I'm that fly on the wall Well I give no quarter, and I can't be bought No need to justify it, if I'm within the law It's only information, from behind closed doors And if the public want it, I'm the cheapest whore No need to worry, I can supply Cos everybody's got something to hide When you see that shadow, or hear that sound When your guard is dropping, I'll be back in town Only one intention, wanna see you fall Cos I'm that fly on the wall You can't sleep when I'm lurking Even though you won't hear any sound I'll be digging your dustbin If it's there, it will be found (SOLO) In the quietest moment, when the lights go down When you don't expect it, I will be around Only one intention, wanna see you fall Cos I'm that fly on the wall Morley I'll Be Waiting Should you ever change your mind About leaving everything we had behind It don't matter, for whatever length of time I'll be waiting Things are always gonna change Everyday is like another unread page So if you ever feel the gypsy in you age I'll be waiting Cos I'm sure one day that you're gonna find That there's an answer to the questions in your mind So when you realise that the answer's inside I'll be waiting So don't you cry now, don't be sad Just keep the memory of the good times that we had You might discover going back ain't all that bad So I'll be waiting I'll be waiting forever (SOLO) Cos I'm sure one day that you're gonna find That there's an answer to the questions in your mind So when you realise that the answer's inside I'll be waiting Should you ever change your mind About leaving everything we had behind It don't matter, any place or any time I'll be waiting I'll be waiting I'll be waiting Morley River Of Pain I should've seen it coming now Should've known it would happen this way If I'd trusted my initial instincts Then maybe you'd be here today Cos the more that I gave The more I could see a change You only wanted my love When you thought I might take it away, I'm afraid Now I'm drowning in a river of pain Slowly going down All I did was love you too much So now I'll remain Stranded here forever Drowning in a river of pain I don't know when it happened now Suddenly you'd taken control One day I was pulling your strings baby Then the next you had a grip on my soul So I let myself go Cos my heart wouldn't be denied There was distance in your eyes And your touch turned fire to ice, no suprise That I'm drowning in a river of pain Here with my regrets Going round and round in my head But still I remain Stranded here forever Drowning in a river of pain (SOLO) Somehow when you saw the other side of me Then I lost my mystery Now I'm drowning in a river of pain Slowly going down All I did was love you to much So now I'll remain Drowning in a river of pain Morley Future Train Don't try to tell me it's gonna be alright When the truth is plain to see Cos if I take a look outta my own front door I can see the way it's gonna be And that's not what you're telling me I see people being beaten in the streets And the system won't protect them Cos in better times all kinds of evil lay asleep 'Til the wind of fear can resurect them How many more lives will it take ? Cos our history could teach us a lot about today So it's one step forward and two steps back There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack Cos the future train's coming down the hill And we're tied to the track I see a leader with an agenda to hide Fanning the flames of this confusion Turning fear into hatred, stirring something deep down inside And he says there's only one solution Look through that tangled web they weave That air of freedom is everybody's right to breathe So it's one step forward and two steps back There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack Cos the future train's coming down the hill And we're tied to the track (SOLO) How many more lives will it take ? Cos our history could teach us a lot about today So it's one step forward and two steps back There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack Cos the future train's coming down the hill And we're tied to the track Morley / James / Matthews / Hoglund 'Til The River Runs Dry She can't see him stumbling through the door She don't hear him laying down the law She can't feel him strike her to the floor She can't reach him there's no use anymore Tells herself he's still the man she loves Then she cries 'til the river runs dry He'll be sorry when the morning comes But she cries 'til the river runs dry 'Til the river runs dry She remembers the way it used to be They were young then and life was so carefree Every mountain was small enough to climb She hangs on to every memory sublime As he slips into a restless sleep She cries 'til the river runs dry And she blames the whole world for his scars so deep Then she cries 'til the river runs dry 'Til the river runs dry There were so many times before When she walked right out the door She's tried so hard to leave him But when she sees him breaking down He knows she'll come around She can't see past his tears Or all those years Tells herself he's still the man she loves Then she cries 'til the river runs dry He'll be sorry when the morning comes But she cries 'til the river runs dry 'Til the river runs dry 'Til the river runs dry Morley / James

Stand Up When you get up late in the morning And somebody's broken into your car Makes you feel like killing, maybe you'd be willing But you don't have to take it that far Stand up, kick the cat and stand up Cos when things grind you down You can't fight 'em sitting down Stand up You catch you girl making love with the postman And they're doing it in your very own bed She says he's giving her a letter I think you sohuld forget her And go out with her sister instead Stand up, say "who cares" and stand up Don't go crying on the floor, just throw them out the door And stand up Every now and then boy, you gotta take it on the chin It's just another sympton of the world we're living in Every day's a battle, sometimes you're gonna bruise But if you let it get you down you lose Stand up, stand up (SOLO) Sunday morning you relax with the papers All week long you been working so hard Then you can't believe what you're seeing on the page About a road they're gonna build through your yard Stand up, shout about it stand up You don't have to beg them please Don't go down on your knees stand up Do everything that you can, you got to make a plan stand up If they're gonna tread on you make 'em think before they do Stand up Morley / James Preaching From A Chair I'm sorry I don't hate the world I'm afraid that I'm not disturbed I'm sorry that I don't do drugs, I hope you understand I can't talk about my life in hell Or a suicide attempt that didn't go well No life of crime, no misery, what you see is what you get And I don't believe in dwelling on the darker side There's enough bad news on the television every night So I don't need some little punk who's the latest star Telling me over and over again Life's such a drag when you're in a band What is it coming to when everyone's talking through their hat And we've heard it all before What happened to honesty ? The way that it looks at me Is everybody's in it trying to get somewhere And trying to justify it, preaching from a chair Please forgive me if the clothes ain't right I wouldn't want you hanging with an uncool guy No flannel shirt and no tattoos, maybe I should grow a beard ? Don't you tell me what I oughta think Which cigarettes to smoke, and what I oughta drink Don't judge me by the way I look cos the clothes don't make the man I'm not about to be a slave to a book of rules Don't wanna spend my life trying to be somebody else I'd be wrong to believe in every word that I ever read You can't fool all the people all of the time And one man's opinion's another man's lie The makers of taste will be patronising you and me forever And it's always been the same You'll enter the twilight zone if you don't keep your mind your own I shouldn't let it get to me but I don't care I can't stomach bullshit, when it's preaching from a chair (SOLO) I'm sorry that I like the sun I'm sorry to say I don't wanna own a gun Cos if my number's up that's alright, sometime we all got to go So many versions of the world outside Reality is getting hard to find So many people with an axe to grind It's hard to know who to believe Don't lecture me, until you know what the truth is Take a good look inside you criticise everyone else Your jealousy ain't enough of a reason To justify telling me where I went wrong So don't try to do it Cos all you ever do is sing the same old song And no one wants to hear Preaching from a chair Morley Castles In The Sand There must've been a moment A second or a time When I didn't look up or I missed some kind of sign Turned the wrong direction When she was just an inch away Like a missed connection And my future slipped away There've been times when I feel like I'm Conspired against by faith It's almost bad enough to make me hate I'm sick of building castles in the sand Just waiting for another face to break my promised land I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand Like building castles in the sand Cos it terrifies me, ending up alone And it walks beside me, the ghost of chances gone Did I have it did I let it go, or close the door to fast ? Is there an answer locked up in my past ? .. in my past I'm sick of building castles in the sand Seem like everybody else I know can hold it in their hands So will it ever happen or am I doomed to walk this land Just building castle's in the sand ? (SOLO) I've been crying, I've been living alone so long I've been over and over the reasons But I can't find the thing that's wrong In my mind, all the evidence seems to say I wouldn't even know it if she walked right in today I'm sick of building castles in the sand Seems like everybody else I know can hold it it their hands So will it ever happen or am I doomed to walk this land Just building castles in the sand ? Morley Too Scared To Live Don't wanna go out don't know who I'll meet Don't wanna breathe that filthy air on the street Don't make me burn 'neath that hole in the sky I'm too scared to live and I'm too young to die Don't get the door it's the man from the bank He wants my house but I won't give it back Here comes the vultures as I'm starting to try I'm too scared to live but I'm too broke to die Stop smoking, stop drinking It's not even safe no more ... sleeping with women I gave up driving I thought I might crash And I can't go private cos I ain't got the cash Expensive business this keeping your health That's why I'm too scared to live cos I ain't got the wealth Stop whinging, stop moaning But it's hard enjoying life, when I can't do nothing (SOLO) Can't drink the water can't swim in the sea And my television's too corrupting for me Then someone told me it's wrong eating meat I'm too scared to live and now I'm too scared to eat I'm so depressed just can't take it no more I don't know what I'm even living for One thing that keeps me from a suicide I'm too scared to live but I'm too scared to die Keep trying, keep fighting That's easy for you to say, but I feel like crying Morley Ball And Cahin Looking around your home town Trying to find a reason not to leave All of your friends don't understand You find that small town air so hard to breathe Clock keeps ticking You don't need the life your living Deep in your heart don't you feel like running Over the hills where the real worlds going on There's nothing to keep you here So what have you got to fear ? You'll never be young again So kick off the ball and chain (get running) Kick off the ball and chain (get running) You work in a job you really hate For a guy who thinks you're just a waste of space You've been telling yourself so long now One day you're gonna put him in his place And wouldn't you love it Telling the boss to shove it Stay where you are you'll amount to nothing It's only a step in your mind and you'll be gone You know that you wanna go Like the wind you've got to blow So don't you hesitate Kick off the ball and chain (get running) Kick off the ball and chain (get running) Get you ticket and board that train And kick off the ball and chain You know you haven't got a thing to lose You don't wanna spend your life in a dead man's shoes (SOLO) There's nothing to keep you here So what have you got to fear You'll never be young again Kick off the ball and chain You know that you wanna go Like the wind you've got to blow So don't you hesitate Kick off the ball and chain (get running) Kick off the ball and chain (get running) Get your ticket and board that train And kick off the ball and chain Morley / James / Matthews / Bowes It Happened In This Town Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet So long little angel, taken so young from the street Now you're gone, all the world can feel the pain Like a light went out somewhere Goodbye little angel, it's so hard to understand What makes somebody do that ? What makes that kind of man ? But you're gone and things will never be the same I feel your tears when it rains And though I try I can't explain Where's the sense in it all ? We cover our eyes cover our eyes cover our eyes Cos we don't wanna see this We hope it's a lie hope it's a lie hope it's a lie Cos our world isn't like this It's too random to believe in, how could anyone concieve it ? It's so sad, but it happened in this town There's no words of consolation, there's no reasoned explanation Just the fact that it happened in this town (SOLO) Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet So long little angel, taken so young from the street But now you're gone, and things will never be the same I feel your tears when it rains And though I try I can't explain Where's the sense in it all ? We cover our eyes cover our eyes cover our eyes Cos we don't wanna see this We hope it's a lie hope it's a lie hope it's a lie Cos our world isn't like this How could anybody do it ? There's no rhyme or reason to it It's so sad, but it happened in this town There's no words of consolation, there's no reasoned explanation Just the fact that it happened in this town It really happened in this town It's so sad, but it happened in this town Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet So long little angel, taken so young from the street Morley / James
