When Love Comes

I’ve been lonely since I was a child
I always needed someone, someone to love
but love’s so hard to find in a small town
You sit and wait, and hope and pray
For love to come around
And then you came
You walked into town and kissed me
And I thought that I had died and gone to heaven
When love comes, when love comes
When love comes to town
When love comes to town it seems to last forever
But it can’t last, you went away
But I still see you everywhere, I still see you every day
When love comes, when love comes to town
When love comes
Why can’t it be like it was before
We had no money, but we had fun
Lying awake all night long
Listen to the radio, it’s playing our song
When love comes

What Can I Do For You

The last thing you did before you went away
You built a bonfire of our dreams, made it a holiday
You filled it with pain, you filled it with champagne
Said goodbye darling, said never again
What can I do for you, that you haven’t done for me?
What can I do, what can I do for you?
Your broke your heart running after me
Then nearly broke your legs running to be free
I treated your vision with polite derision
Love turned into lust, trust became suspicion
What can I do for you, that you haven’t done for me?
What can I do, what can I do for you?

Tell Me

Love is blind, but I’m learning sign language
Love is blind, but I’m learning to see
Learning to be what you want me to be
Learning to be all that you need
I was brought up to believe in love
I was brought up to believe in everything
And I do, every time I see you
I believe nothing else is true
Tell me, tell me all that you want from me
Tell me, tell me all that you need from me
Tell me, I’ll be right there for you
Tell me, I’ll be right there for you
Love is blind, I wish I could see
What’s in you mind, when you look at me
If love is blind, then understand me please
Why it took so long for me to see
Tell me, tell me all that you want from me
Tell me, tell me all that you need from me
Tell me, I’ll be right there for you
Tell me, I’ll be right there for you
I woke up last night, looked like the sky was on fire
I kissed your lips, watched the flames grow higher
You are my sky, you are my funeral pyre
All that exists is all you desire
Tell me, tell me all that you want from me
Tell me, tell all that you need from me
Tell me, I’ll be right there for you
Tell me, I’ll be right there for you
Tell me, I’ll be right there for you
Tell me, I’ll be right there for you

And You Say

I don’t need you any more
I don’t need the heartache you bring
But what I want and what I get
That’s two different things, that’s two different things
And you say
I thought we had a relationship
And you say
I thought you love me
Well I’ve heard this question before
and I hate to answer it
Of course I love you baby
But that’s not really what you’re asking
Is it, is it?
And you say
Why can’t we talk about this?
And you say
Why can’t you express your feelings?
Well all I’ve got to say is…
And you say
This isn’t enough
And you say
I want more
Well we all want more
That’s nothing new
More of everything
More and faster – faster, faster
And you say
Why aren’t you satisfied?
And you say
You can’t have everything
Well why not?
That’s what it’s there for
It’s a great big world
There’s plenty to round, there’s plenty to go round
And you say
And you say
And you say
and you say, and you say, and you say, and you say
Well I guess that’s about it
There’s nothing left to say
Well it doesn’t really matter what you say baby
‘Cause I ain’t listening anymore
It’s completely and utterly pointless
Well, you can say anything you want baby
‘Cause you say nothing

She Loves Me
04:22
|
|

You said write me a letter, so here it is
A rather public way to send you a kiss
I never loved someone the way that I love you
That’s a cliché because it’s true – there’s nothing else to say
She love me, but I love someone else
And the someone I love, loves someone else
And the someone she loves, loves someone else
And the someone he loves, loves someone else
And live goes on, life goes on
And on and on
This morning I sat in the shower for half an hour
To hide my tears from you, but it didn’t work
There’s no time left for metaphors, there’s no time left to lose
Our world is sinking, but I still love you
She loves me, but I love someone else
And the someone I love, loves someone else
And the someone she loves, loves someone else
And the someone he loves, loves someone else
And live goes on, life goes on
And on and on
She loves me
Doesn’t she?

Sleep baby, get away from it all
Sleep baby, get away from this world
The Goddess of the night watches over you
The Goddess of the night watches you
Someday you’ll grow up, you’ll be just like her
Someday you’ll grow up and come back to Earth
Someday you’ll grow up, and you’ll be different
You’ll be different
Sleep baby, build up your strength
You’ll need it when the pull of gravity is in your veins
You’ll need it when you grow up strong
Strong as the stars, strong as the stars
For someday, someday you’ll group up
And you’ll be different
You have no passport, you have no papers
You’re a citizen of the next world
You are white, you are black
You are everything that we’re dreaming of
And someday, someday you’ll grow up
And you’ll be different
So sleep baby, and dream for us
Dream for us

Lakeside

I’m lying here, in the dark, in the cold
Down by the lakeside
And I’m thinking about you, I’m thinking of you
How I wish you were here, I wish you were here
Why did you leave me, why did you leave me?
And I fall back, and I see the start
They’re so close I could touch them
But I can’t touch you, I can’t touch you
As the water closes in, I feel like I’m wrapped in your arms
Your cold wet arms, your cold wet arms
And the wind blows
The water speaks, beckons me closer
Rich dark deeps, lonely sky
Lonely skies
But I’m safe in your arms, I’m safe in your arms
Your cold wet arms
I wish you were here, I wish you were here,
To see me die, to die with me
So I’ll kiss you one more time, like I kiss the waves
As they close themselves around me
And I sink into the night
And the blood blossoms in my eyes
And my only thoughts are of you
And I kiss you
Kiss you
Kiss you
Kiss you

The Stone Age (1980 - 89)
by Legendary Pink Dots
supported by 4 fans who also own “WAS (Endless Love Edition)”
This collection covers the 80s and features selections only from major album releases. It's a long overdue update to the Stone Circles compilation from 1987, but doesn't include all of those tracks, instead getting deeper and more obscure, such as including "Premonition 16" instead of its A-list flip side, "Curious Guy." This one goes all the way up through The Golden Age yet omits crucial anthems like "Casting the Runes" and "The More It Changes."
