Wuthering Heights - Whole Story

Out on the wiley, windy moors We’d roll and fall in green. You had a temper like my jealousy: Too hot, too greedy. How could you leave me, When i needed to possess you? I hated you. i loved you, too. Bad dreams in the night. They told me i was going to lose the […]

Wow - Whole Story

Emily… We’re all alone on the stage tonight. We’ve been told we’re not afraid of you. We know all our lines so well, uh-huh. We’ve said them so many times: Time and time again, Line and line again. Ooh, yeah, you’re amazing! We think you’re incredible. You say we’re fantastic, But still we don’t head […]

The Man With The Child In His Eyes - Whole Story

("he’s here! he’s here! He’s here! he’s here!") I hear him, before i go to sleep And focus on the day that’s been. I realise he’s there, When i turn the light off and turn over. Nobody knows about my man. They think he’s lost on some horizon. And suddenly i find myself Listening to […]

The Dreaming - Whole Story

‘bang!’ goes another kanga On the bonnet of the van. "see the light ram through the gaps in the land."

"if i only could, i’d be running up that hill. If i only could, i’d be running up that hill." It doesn’t hurt me. Do you want to feel how it feels? Do you want to know that it doesn’t hurt me? Do you want to hear about the deal that i’m making? You, it’s […]

Hounds Of Love - Whole Story

"it’s in the trees! It’s coming!" When i was a child: Running in the night, Afraid of what might be Hiding in the dark, Hiding in the street, And of what was following me… Now hounds of love are hunting. I’ve always been a coward, And i don’t know what’s good for me. Here i […]

Cloudbusting - Whole Story

I still dream of algernon. I wake up crying. You’re making rain, And you’re just in reach, When you and sleep escape me. You’re like my yo-yo That glowed in the dark. What made it special Made it dangerous, So i bury it And forget. But every time it rains, You’re here in my head, […]

Breathing - Whole Story

Outside Gets inside Through her skin. I’ve been out before But this time it’s much safer in. Last night in the sky, Such a bright light. My radar send me danger But my instincts tell me to keep Breathing, ("out, in, out, in, out, in…") Breathing, Breathing my mother in, Breathing my beloved in, Breathing, […]

Babooshka - Whole Story

She wanted to test her husband. She knew exactly what to do: A pseudonym to fool him. She couldn’t have made a worse move. She sent him scented letters, And he received them with a strange delight. Just like his wife But how she was before the tears, And how she was before the years […]
