- 00:14 Excuse me
- 00:17 If I may
- 00:20 Turn your attention
- 00:24 my way
- 00:27 One moment
- 00:30 I won't plead
- 00:34 It isn't much
- 00:37 It's what I need
- 00:39 And what's so small to you
- 00:43 is so large to me
- 00:48 If it's the last thing I do
- 00:50 I'll make you see
- 00:57 If you turn from me
- 01:00.7 You darken my sun
- 01:03 You snap that thin thread
- 01:06.5 I call my horizon
- 01:08 And I'd like to remind you
- 01:13 of something small
- 01:15 that the rock in this pocket
- 01:19 could cause your fall
- 01:22 And what's so small to you
- 01:26 Is so large to me
- 01:29 If it's the last thing I do
- 01:33 I'll make you see
- 01:36 So small to you
- 01:39 And so large to me
- 01:42 If it's the last thing I do
- 01:47 I'll make you see
- 01:57
- 02:01 I might be out like a light
- 02:04 extinguished in the throw
- 02:08 But I'll hit my mark
- 02:11 And you'll know
- 02:15 Because I'm really well acquainted
- 02:18 with the span of your brow
- 02:21 And if you didn't know me then
- 02:25 You'll know me now
- 02:27
- 02:28 You'll know me now
- 02:32 And what's so small to you
- 02:35 Is so large to me
- 02:38 If it's the last thing I do
- 02:43 I'll make you see
- 02:45 So small to you
- 02:49 And so large to me
- 02:52 If it's the last thing I do
- 02:56 I'll make you see
- 02:59 make you see
- 03:02
- 03:03 make you see

- 00:14 I'd like to help you doctor
- 00:15 Yes I really would
- 00:16 But the din in my head
- 00:17 It's too much and it's no good
- 00:19 I'm standing in a windy tunnel
- 00:20 Shouting through the roar
- 00:21 And I'd like to give you the information
- 00:23 You're asking for
- 00:24 But blood makes noise
- 00:28 It's ringing in my ear
- 00:30 Blood makes noise
- 00:33 And I can't really hear you
- 00:34 In the thickening of fear
- 00:36
- 00:45 I Think that you might want to know
- 00:46 The details and the facts
- 00:48 But there's something in my blood
- 00:49 Denies the memory of the acts
- 00:50 So just forget it Doc.
- 00:51 I think it's really
- 00:52 Cool that you're concerned
- 00:53 But we'll have to try again
- 00:54 After the silence have returned
- 00:56 Cause blood makes noise
- 01:00 It's ringing in the ear
- 01:02 Blood makes noise
- 01:04 And I can't really hear you
- 01:05 In the thickening of fear
- 01:07
- 01:33 Blood makes noise...
- 01:35
- 01:41 Blood makes noise...

- 00:04 In Liverpool
- 00:08 on Sunday
- 00:12 No traffic
- 00:15 on the avenue
- 00:19 The light is pale and thin
- 00:22.6 Like You
- 00:27.6 No sound,
- 00:29.5 down in this part of the town
- 00:35 except for the boy in the belfry
- 00:37.5 he's crazy
- 00:38.5 He's throwing himself
- 00:40.5 down from the top of the tower
- 00:44.4 like a hunchback in heaven
- 00:46.5 he's ringing the bells in the church
- 00:48.6 for the last half an hour
- 00:52 he sounds like he's missing something
- 00:54.4 or someone that he knows
- 00:56.5 he can't have have now
- 00:59 and if he isn't I certainly am
- 01:04
- 01:05.8 Homesick for a clock
- 01:09 that told the same time
- 01:14 sometimes you made no sense to me
- 01:22 if you lie on the ground
- 01:24 in somebodys arms
- 01:29 You'll probably swallow some of their history
- 01:37 And the boy in the belfry
- 01:39.4 he's crazy
- 01:40.5 He's throwing himself
- 01:43 down from the top of the tower
- 01:46 like a hunchback in heaven
- 01:48 he's ringing the bells in the church
- 01:50.5 for the last half an hour
- 01:53.6 he sounds like he's missing something
- 01:56.4 or someone that he knows
- 01:58 he can't have have now
- 02:01 and if he isn't I certainly am
- 02:05
- 02:24 I'll be the girl who sings for my supper
- 02:32 You'll be the monk whose forehead is high
- 02:39 he'll be the man who's already working
- 02:46 spreading a memory all trough the sky
- 02:53 In Liverpool on Sunday
- 03:00 No reason to even remember you now
- 03:09 Except for the boy in the belfry
- 03:11 he's crazy
- 03:12 He's throwing himself
- 03:14 down from the top of the tower
- 03:18 like a hunchback in heaven
- 03:20 he's ringing the bells in the church
- 03:22.6 for the last half an hour
- 03:26 he sounds like he's missing something
- 03:28.3 or someone that he knows
- 03:30 he can't have have now
- 03:33 and if he isn't I certainly am
- 03:42

- 00:08 99.9 Fahrenheit degrees
- 00:11 Stable now, with rising possibilities
- 00:15 It could be normal but it isn't quite
- 00:18 Could make you want to stay awake at night
- 00:21 You seem to me
- 00:24 Like a man
- 00:26 On the verge of burning
- 00:28.7 99.9 Fahrenheit degrees
- 00:35
- 00:36 Pale as a candle
- 00:38 And your face is hot
- 00:42.5 And if I touch you
- 00:45 I might get what you've got
- 00:49 You seem to me
- 00:52 Like a man
- 00:53 On the verge of running
- 00:56 99.9 Fahrenheit degrees
- 01:02
- 01:10 Something cool
- 01:12 Against the skin
- 01:14 Is what you could be
- 01:17 Something cool
- 01:19 Against the skin
- 01:21 Is what you
- 01:23 Could be needing
- 01:26
- 01:27 99.9 Fahrenheit degrees
- 01:32
- You seem to me
- Like a man
- On the verge of burning
- 99.9 Fahrenheit degrees

- Blood Sings
-
- When blood sees blood
- Of its own
- It sings to see itself again
- It sings to hear the voice it's known
- It sings to recognize the face
-
- One body split and passed along the line
- From the shoulder to the hip
- I know these bones as being mine
- And the curving of the lip
-
- And my question to you is:
- How did this come to pass?
- How did this one life fall so far and fast?
-
- Some are lean and some with grace, and some without;
- All tell the story that repeats
- Of a child who had been left alone at birth
- Left to fend and taught to fight
-
- See his eyes and how they start with light
- Getting colder as the pictures go
- Did he carry his bad luck upon his back?
- That bad luck we've all come to know
-
- And my question to you is:
- How did this come to pass?
- How did this one life fall so far and fast?
-
- When blood sees blood
- Of its own
- It sings to see itself again
- It sings to hear the voice it's known
- It sings to recognize the face
-

- Fat Man and Dancing Girl
-
- I stand in a wide flat land
- No shadow or shade of a doubt
- Whore the megaphone man
- Met the girl with her hand that's
- Covering most of her mouth
-
- Fall in love with a bright idea
- And the way a world is revealed to you
- Fat man and dancing girl
- And most of the show is concealed from view
-
- Monkey in the middle
- Keeps singing that tune
- I don't want to hear it
- Get rid of it soon
-
- MC on the stage tonight
- Is a man named Billy Purl
- He's The International Fun Boy
- And he knows the worth of beautiful girl
-
- Stand on the tightrope
- Never dreamed I would fall
-
- Monkey in the middle
- Keeps doing that trick
- It's making me nervous
- Get rid of it quick
-
- I stand in a wide flat land
- No shadow or shade of a doubt
- Where the megaphone man
- Met the girl with her hand
- That's covering most of her mouth
-
- Does she tell the truth?
- Does she hide the lie?
- Does she say it so no one can know?
- Fat man and the dancing girl
- And it's all part of the show
-
- Stand on the tightrope
- Never dreamed I could fall
-
- Monkey in the middle
- Keeps singing that tune
- I don't want to hear it
- Get rid of it soon
-
- Monkey in the middle
- Keeps doing that trick
- It's making me nervous

- (If You Were) In My Movie
-
- If you were in my movie
- I'd have you as the doctor
- Small black bag
- And a big black coat
-
- I'd have you make a house call
- To the woman
- You could lay your
- Diagnostic hand
- Upon her belly and her throat
-
- If you were in my movie
- You could be the detective
- You could sit behind the desk
- With a question on your lip
-
- Examine her for motive
- Investigate the scene
- In the ever present danger
- Keep the holster at your hip
-
- If you were in my movie
- If you were in my movie
- If you were in my movie
-
- If you were in my movie
- You could be the priest
- Long black frock
- White collar at the neck
-
- You could come to the confession
- You could give a girl a thrill
- You could save her from her passion
- Keep her body in check
-
- If you were in my movie
- If you were in my movie
- If you were in my movie
-
- If you were in my movie
- You could be the gangster
- Double-breasted pinstriped
- Man with the cigarette
-
- Go running down the alley
- With a double-crossing blond
- Explaining to the jury
- That you hadn't done anything yet
-
- If you were in my movie...
-
-
- As A Child
-
- As a child
- You have a doll
- You see this doll
- Sitting in her chair
-
- You watch her face
- Her knees apart
- Her eyes of glass
- In a secretive stare
-
- She seems to
- She seems to
- She seems to
- Have a life
-
- Pick up a stick
- Dig up a crack
- Dirt in the street
- Becomes a town
-
- All of the people
- Depend on you
- Not to hurt them
- Or bang the stick comes down
-
- And they seem to
- They seem to
- They seem to
- Have a life
-
- As a child
- You see yourself
- And wonder why
- You can't seem to move
-
- Hand on the doorknob
- Feel like a thing
- One foot on the sidewalk
- Too much to prove
-
- And you learn to
- You learn to
- You learn to
- Have a life
-
-
- Bad Wisdom
-
- Mother the doctor knows something is wrong
- Cause my body has strange information
- He's looked in my eyes and knows I'm not a child
- But he doesn't dare ask the right question
-
- Mother my friends are no longer my friends
- And the games we once played have no meaning
- I've gone serious and shy and they can't figure why
- So they've left me to my own daydreaming
-
- What price to pay
- For bad wisdom
- What price to pay
- For bad wisdom
- Too young to know
- Too much too soon
- Bad wisdom
- Bad wisdom
-
- Mother you've taught me the laws are so fine
- If I'm good that I will be protected
- I've fallen through the crack and there's no getting back
- And I'll never trust whoever gets elected
-
- Mother your eyes have gone suddenly cold
- And it wasn't what I was expecting
- Once I did think that I'd find comfort there
- And instead you've gone hard and suspecting
-
- What price to pay
- For bad wisdom
- What price to pay
- For bad wisdom
- Too young to know
- Too much too soon
- Bad wisdom
- Bad wisdom
-
- Mother I'm cut at the root like a weed
- Cause there's no one to hear my small story
- Just like a woman who walks in the street
- I will pay for my life with my body
-
- What price to pay
- For bad wisdom
- What price to pay
- For bad wisdom
- Too young to know
- Too much too soon
- Bad wisdom
- Bad wisdom

- When Heroes Go Down
-
- When heroes go down
- They go down fast
- So don't expect any time to
- Equivocate the past
-
- When heroes go down
- They land in flame
- So don't expect any slow and careful
- Settling of blame
-
- I heard you say
- You look out for the feet of clay
- That someone will be falling next
- Without the chance
- For last respects
- You feel the disappointment
-
- When heroes go down
- Man or woman revealed
- You can't expect any kind of mercy
- On the battlefield
-
- I heard you say
- You look out for the feet of clay

- Do you show any kind of mercy
- On the battlefield?

- As Girls Go
-
- You make a really good girl
- As girls go
- Still kind of look like a guy
- I never thought to wonder why
-
- If I could pull this off
- Would I know for certain
- The real situation
- Behind the curtain
-
- So beautiful
- Damsel in distress
- Not exactly natural
- Stunning none the less
-
- What happened to you?
- To make you more girl than girls are
- Would you ever show or tell
- Cause you're so good so far
-
- You make a really good girl
- As girls go
- As girls go
- As girls go
- As girls go
- As girls go
-
- Let's chronicle
- The dark side of a life
- Did you ever keep the date
- With the steel side of the knife
-
- Doesn't matter to me
- Which side of the line
- You happen to be
- At any given time
-
- You make a really good girl
- As girls go
- You make a really good girl
- As girls go
- As girls go

- Song Of Sand
-
- If sand waves were sound waves
- What song would be in the air now
- What stinging tune
- Could split this endless noon
- And make the sky swell with rain
-
- If war were a game that a man or a child
- Could think of winning
- What kind of rule
- Can overthrow a fool
- And leave the land with no stain.
