Standards And Practices

All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known
We have been through hell and high tide, i can surely rely on you?
And yet you start to recoil, heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still i'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you


So, what difference does it make?
So, what difference does it make?


It makes none but you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight
The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and i lied, and why? because you asked me to!
But now you make feel so ashamed because i've only got two hands well, i'm still fond of you


So, what difference does it make?


It makes none but you have gone and your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight

The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and i lied, and why? just because you asked me to! but you know the truth about me you won't see me anymore, i'm still fond of you

So, no more apologies no more apologies i'm too tired i'm too sick and tired and i'm feeling very sick and ill today
But i'm still fond of you

Heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Don't tear you apart
Yeah heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Don't tear you apart


There's too many kings wanna tear you down
And a world at the window gone underground
There's a hole in the sky where the sun don't shine
And a clock on the wall and it counts my time


And heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Don't tear you apart
Yeah heaven is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Don't tear you apart


There's a song on the air with a love-you-line
And a face in a glass and it looks like mine
And i'm standing on ice when i say that i don't hear planes
And i scream at the fools wanna jump my train


And heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Don't tear you apart
Yeah heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Don't tear you apart
Yeah heaven

And heaven yeah heaven

We stood in your room and laughed out loud.
Suddenly the laughter died and we were caught in an eye to eye.

We sat on the floor and did we sit close. i could smell your thoughts and thought. do you want to touch a lot like me? too scared to say a thing. i left your house and kicked myself. i put those
Ings on a shelf to die. i guess i'm not a gambling type but think of what the two of us had lost.

Had lost.

I needed some time to think it out. 7-eleven parking lot. a toothless woman turned and stopped. i gave her a dime and a chesterfield. she leaned down and kissed my cheek. i was scared but it fel
Et.

Felt so sweet.

She asked me if i had a name. i told her i was glued up on some chick. we sat and smoked against the wall.
Drank a beer, felt the chill of fall.

Of fall.

I took my car and drove it down the hill by your house. i drove so fast. the wind it couldn't cool me down, so i turned it around and came back up. you were waiting on your step, steam showing o
Ur breath and water in your eyes. we pulled each other into one, parkas clinging on the lawn and kissed right there.

Said all my chicks they smoke these things and handed you a chesterfield king. held your hand and watched tv and traced the little lines along your palm.

Your palm.

I took my car and drove it down the hill by your house.
I drove so fast.
The wind it couldn't cool me down, so i turned it around
And came back up.
You were waiting on your step, steam showing off your breath
And water in your eyes.
We pulled each other into one, parkas
Clinging on the lawn and kissed right there.

Right there.

Seen the carnival at rome
Had the women i had the booze
All i can remember now
Is little kids without no shoes
So i saw that train and i got on it with a heartful of hate
And a lust for vomit


Now i'm walking on the sunnyside of the street


Stepped over bodies in bombay
Tried to make it to the u.s.a.
Ended up in nepal
Up on the roof with nothing at all
And i knew that day i was going to stay


Right where i am, on the sunnyside of the street

Been in a palace, been in a jail
I just don't want to be reborn a snail
Just want to spend eternity


Right where i am, on the sunnyside of the street


As my mother wept it was then i swore
To take my life as i would a whore
I know i'm better than before
I will not be reconstructed


Just wanna stay right here, on the sunnyside of the street

On the sunnyside of the street

When we have nothing left to give
There will be no reason for us to live
But when we have nothing left to lose
You will have nothing left to use


We owe you nothing
You have no control


Merchandise keeps us in line
Common sense says it's by design
What could a businessman ever want more
Than to have us sucking in his store


We owe you nothing
You have no control


You are not what you own
