Karmarama

(browne/maitland/glenister)

There's a sunburst whenever you're near me
There's a sunburst trying to break through
And i wait hopefully near you
Hoping you are trying to get nearer
To the sunburst, the one that i'm feeling
Such a sunburst, trying to break through
And i wait hopefully near you
Hoping you're maybe feeling it too

What a day
What a day
What a day she gives me
All i need
And she's taking me over
Breaking me open

Like a sunburst rising and waking
In her room she's leading me through
But i'll wait hopelessly dreaming
But knowing that dreaming is true

What a day
What a day
What a day she gives me
All i need
And she's taking me over
Breaking me open

Like a sunburst whenever you're near me
There's a sunburst trying to break through
And i wait hopefully near you
Hoping you're maybe feeling it too

(browne)

Corners round off the edges
Of my broken heart
Borders, close off the edges
Of my mind
Won't you be my love
Every time i see that
Look in your eyes
Be my life
It's only then that i realise
Be my home
Don't believe me
When i tell you goodbye
Whatever i might say
Don't believe me

Slow down
What hurry are you in anyway
I wonder now
There's nothing
Nothing i won't do to keep you here

So won't you be my love

(browne)

Like a crowd when the pin drops
Like a ride that you can't get off
High wire on a high hope
Tight walk on a tight rope
Cold night make you breathe in
Hot lights make the show begin

Catch your breath as your heart stops
It's what you want but it's never enough
Grey days in a blue town
Every time the circus calls round
Pulling out of a tail spin
Put it up in the mess you're in

Chorus
Once you bring the house down, bring the house down
I'd walk if walking meant that i lose myself
Look if looking made me go blind
Scream but screaming only serves to cloud my mind

Strange scene that you don¹t know
Ringside at the freak show
Paint cracks as you're walking on in
Butter's thick and the air is thin
By now you're the star of the show
Sat alone in a gaping hole

Chorus

(browne/maitland/glenister)

You have all you want
Your shadow stands so tall
You can't see over it
And it's what you need

There's no-one going to
Stop you from believing it
And so the game begins
Watching the china spin
Walking on gilded pins

(chorus)
Become more than a mother's son
Who jumped the blocks before the gun
Disturbed the silent sun i know
Only a friend would know
And though you think it just don't show
Only a friend would notice
Only a friend would know


When you're getting down
Remember all the things
We used to dream about
How you'd leave this town
And be the only thing they'd talk about
There's something to be said
For laying down and playing dead
Why don't you live instead

(chorus)

(browne/glenister)

Getting peeled off another bar
I've got to go but it's just too far
She's looking good for a night in a padded cell
Like a virus with no antidote
She's looking good but she might be a bloke
She could be venus but it's getting so hard to tell

(chorus)
How would i know the kind of love
One in a million girls
One in a million years
Could give me

I see the smiles through the coloured smoke
I'd love to laugh but i don't ge the joke
Guess i'm the star in a one man show
Pour me a cab with a lemon twist
A bowl of peanuts and a well-placed fist
Oooh i'm seeing those chips again

(chorus)

Looking at the world
Why can't it see me
You know i wish it could see me

(chorus)

(browne/maitland)

There was a time we saw life
Like it had no end
And no darkness in our days
For our sins you walk in
And everything changed
Now we stare darkness in the face

Just like the papers say
When they always say goodbye
And just like we're here today
We will always stay together until then

(chorus)
We have all the time in the world
We have all the time in the world
All the time in the world
We have all the time in the world

We've got something inside
You and i
We'll get through it
Don't be scared to be afraid
There's many days many nights
In another life
Every moment that we've saved (then it begins)
Things we'll never say
We will never say goodbye
And just like we're here today
We will always stay together until then

(chorus)

(browne/maitland)

He wants her
She leads him on and on
He just can't escape
A thousand years of evolution
Build at once into confusion
He watches
Her walking home again
He just can't pretend
Tries to look in other places
As she bends to tie her laces

(chorus)
They see everything from everywhere
Could be anyone of anywhere
The world sees her everywhere
The shape god gave her
Never saved her from

White collar
He wants her everytime she opens her mind
Comes to him for consultation
Secret midnight visitation
He wants her
She's showing off again
The show's just for him
He promises of god's forgiveness
Gives himself unfinished business

(chorus)

She led a beautiful life such a beautiful life
A beautiful crime she knows now
She found out every man
Is one and the same
"for these things they never train us
Beautiful's the same as famous"

(chorus)

They see everything from everywhere
Could be anyone or anywhere
Nothing changes
Nothing changes

(browne/maitland)

Fade into day
It's a marvel of opium grey
I can't feel a thing
My head's on a string
Being led by the hand of a stranger
Welcome to where ever else in the world that you are
Slow motion kodachrome people are waving from cars
Who do you think we are?

(chorus)
I know something 'bout us that you don't know
And i've found something out that i can't let show
Now the lines have grown into skin and bone
And it's raining stones
But i can't feel them

Two you and me
When we walk into town we are three
The cold city smiles i drift in denial
Of the distance that's standing between us

Biting the hands of the people who feed us with care
Waking up shouting at someone when no-one is there
It's not that i'm scared of myself

(chorus)
