In the temple of your heart
In the bosom of your mind
Your beauty and your spark
You’ve got me in a big bind
I’m looking in my heart
I’m searching in my mind
I’m waiting in the dark
For a love I’ll never find
[BREAK]
The kings of ancient Rome
You burned them with desire
You pulled them from the throne
Brought their city to the fire
Like the phoenix you did rise
From the ashes of the pyre
Lit the night with fireflies
Caught your wing upon the spire
[BREAK]
In the oceans of your mind
We are drifting far apart
My compass spins and finds
The land of broken hearts
A lonely desert island
Where I lose all sense of time
Your mirage turns to sand
Still I dream that you are mine
[M8]
In the temple of your heart
In the bosom of your mind
Your beauty and your spark
You have me in a bind
I’m searching in the dark
For a love I’ll never find
A prisoner of my heart
A prisoner of my mind
In the temple of your heart
In the bosom of your mind
Your beauty and your spark
You’ve got me in a big bind
I’m looking in my heart
I’m searching in my mind
I’m waiting in the dark
For a love I’ll never find
The kings of ancient Rome
You burned them with desire
You pulled them from the throne
Brought their city to the fire
Like the phoenix you did rise
From the ashes of the pyre
Lit the night with fireflies
Caught your wing upon the spire
In the oceans of your mind
We are drifting far apart
My compass spins and finds
The land of broken hearts
A lonely desert island
Where I lose all sense of time
Your mirage turns to sand
Still I dream that you are mine
[CHORUS]
[M8]
I’m waiting for the healing
To cure me of this fever
Oh kill these painful feelings
And make me a believer
I want to bury my desire
Let earth absorb the lightning
But I can’t put out this fire
The intensity is frightening
In the mirrors of your mind
Your heart of glass in pieces
I watched your soul unwind
Like Picasso’s masterpieces
[BREAK]
In the temple of your heart
In the bosom of your mind
Your beauty and your spark
You have me in a bind
I’m searching in the dark
For a love I’ll never find
A prisoner of my heart
A prisoner of my mind
Your eyes are burnin’ holes through me
I’m gasoline
I’m burnin’ clean
20th century, go to sleep
You’re plasticine
That is obscene
That is obscene
You are the star tonight
You shine electric outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You’re outta sight
If I ever want to fly
Mulholland Drive
I am alive
Hollywood is under me
I’m Martin Sheen
I’m Steve McQueen
I’m Jimmy Dean
You are the star tonight
You shine electric outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You’re outta sight
If you ever want to fly
Mulholland Drive
Up in the sky
Stand on a cliff and look down there
Don’t be scared
You are alive
You are alive
You are the star tonight
You shine electric outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You’re outta sight
20th century, go to sleep
Really deep
We won’t blink
Your eyes are burnin’ holes through me
I’m not scared
I’m outta here
I’m not scared
I’m outta here
I get up in the evening
And I ain’t got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain’t nothing but tired
Man, I’m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Message keeps getting clearer
Radio’s on and I’m moving ’round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain’t getting nowhere
I’m just living in a dump like this
There’s something happening somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
You sit around getting older
There’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me
I’ll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh’s on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they’ll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey, baby, I’m just about starving tonight
I’m dying for some action
I’m sick of sitting ’round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
You can’t start a fire
Sitting ’round crying over a broken heart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
You can’t start a fire
Worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Hey baby
Me and my brother returned to the water
I saw a pike that was two feet long
Two small magicians, each with a jam jar
Cast spells on the water with hazel twig wands
Country boys catch tadpoles, dive into water
Made shy by their laughter, we wandered down stream
And summer rolled o’er us with no complications
‘Cept thinking of Mama sometimes in dreams
Stand by the drawbridge, waiting for barges
Waiting around for smiles from the man
Lifting the bridge whilst watching the horses
Dragging the slow boats up the canal
I do remember the times but no number
After the day, but before evening comes
Waiting for castles and kettles with roses
Painted on barges that sailed into the sun
Oh, see the river run, that was by man begun
Open the locks, let the boats sail on
Taking their castles and kettles with roses
With summers of childhood leaving smiles on the man
[Intro] -> A B C D C
[Verse 1]
Runnin’ runnin’ from home,
Breakin’ ties that you’d grown
Catchin’ dreams from the clouds
A D -> [Verse 2]
The city sounds burn your soul
Turn your head to the cries
Of loneliness in the night
A D C D -> [Verse 3]
Just like a fly when it’s caught
The spider soon takes its prey
Spins a dance round your heart
A D -> [Verse 4]
Give me your beauty and age
A pleasure pleasing my mind
Your heart will shatter and fall
A D -> [Verse 5]
Step on pavements so old
Cast a glance at the young
Girls a-making their way
A B C A D -> [Verse 6]
The passing image of you
Reflects a pain to my heart
And disappears in a crowd
A D -> [Verse 7]
Runnin’ runnin’ from home
Breakin’ ties that you’d grown
Catchin’ dreams from the clouds
[Outro] -> A B C -> E
[Intro]
4th bar in-> [Verse 1]
As I go a-walking down Birmingham Street
In my new scarlet jacket all neat and complete,
The girls all say as they pass me by,
“Is that the young man they call Rambleaway?”
4th bar in-> [Verse 2]
As I was a-walking to Birmingham Fair
I saw lovely Nancy a-curling her hair.
I tipped her the wink and she rolled her dark eye,
And said I to myself, “I’ll be there by and by.”
4th bar in-> [Verse 3]
As I was out walking that night in the dark
I took lovely Nancy to be my sweetheart;
She smiled in my face and to me she did say,
“Aren’t you the young man they call Rambleaway?”
5th bar in-> [Verse 4]
I said, “My dear Nancy, don’t smile in my face,
For I do not intend to stay long in this place.”
“Then where are you going, come tell me, my dear.”
I told her I’d ramble the devil knows where.
5th bar in-> [Verse 5]
Before twelve weeks was over and past
This pretty young Nancy, she grew sick at last.
Her dress wouldn’t pin nor her apron strings tie
And she longed for the sight of young Rambleaway.
5th bar in-> [Verse 6]
My dad and my mother have both come from home.
But when they return I won’t sit down and mourn
I’ll tell them the story and leave them to say,
“Well, no doubt she’s been playing with young Rambleaway.”
5th bar in-> [Verse 7]
So come all you young ladies, take a warning by me,
When courting the boys, don’t be easy and free.
Just dress yourselves up as you step out to play
But take care if you meet with young Rambleaway.
I want to know
I gotta know
I want to
I want to
I want to know
I wanna know
I gotta know
I want to know
Why did you go?
I’m not playing politics with you
But I’m not here just for the view
I’m not playing politics with you
And I’m not here just for the view
Just for the view
I’m here for you
I’m not trying to change the world for you
But there’s a few things I’d really like to do
I’m not trying to change the world for you
But here’s a revolution I’m starting, just for you
I did it just for you
I did it for you
Give me warm summer days
And the evening haze
Give me warm summer days
And your endless gaze
Give me warm summer days
And your divine gaze
Shine it down on me
Down on me all day
I’m not playing politics with you
But I’m not here just for the view
I’m not playing politics with you
And I’m not here just for the view
Just for the view
I’m here for you
Give me warm summer days
And the evening haze
Give me warm summer days
And your endless gaze
Give me warm summer days
And your divine gaze
Shine it down on me
Down on me all night
I’m not playing politics with you
But I’m not here just for the view…
[intro]
She thought about him every day
In every way
She could not forget
She looked for him high and low
Where they used to go
But he wasn’t there
She looked for him in the empty spaces
Between the places
They used to go
She thought about him every day
In every way
She could not forget
[break]
And then one day
She heard him say
You’ll hear me on the silent breeze
Blowing through the trees
On the avenue
You’ll see me in the turning pages
Of the golden ages
In our history book
You’ll find me in the hidden faces
Of the many phases
Of the silver moon
You’ll feel me in the empty spaces
Between the places
That we used to go
[break]
[refrain]
But she couldn’t hear anything
In the empty lots
On the avenue
And she couldn’t find anything
In the crumbling pages
Of their history book
But she couldn’t see anyone
In the many faces
Of the bitter moon
And she couldn’t feel anything
In between the places
That they used to go
[M8]
Mmmm mmmm mmmmmm…..
Mmmm mmmm mmmmmm….
Mmmm…
Then she heard him on the silent breeze
Blowing through the trees
On the avenue
She saw him in the turning page
Of a golden age
In their history book
She found him in the hidden faces
Of the many phases
Of the silver moon
She felt him in the empty spaces
In between the places
That they used to go
