colin vearncombe (black) - afterlife
i came as soon as i could
didn't know when but i knew that you would
you weren't born in disguise
i'll only go if i must
got an itch can't wish it away
pick me up like a Warratah wave
it's not the fear when i stop
but what i'm making it mean
i won't wait
i do what i have to do to make it right
why be him
be anyone but yourself and die inside
in an afterlife
who am i when i look at your face
who are you when i look in your eyes
only seeing myself
what i'm making it mean?
it's there in every face:
who am i, how long have i got?
do you think about me like i think about you?
i won't wait
i do what i have to do to make it right
why be him
be anyone but yourself and die inside
in an afterlife
colin vearncombe (black) - alive
Listen to the silence growing louder
A whisper can sometimes be louder than a scream
Even in your wildest dreams
Oh growing louder
But I am
Never more alive than when I am
Lying in your arms again
Some say that each and everyone of us is dying
They don't admit that they have never really
Lived at all
And swung it at the big ball
Oh I don't fight it
'cause I am never more alive than when I am lying in your arms again
Some people act like love was just a kind of guessing game
So when they want you what the hell are they responding to?
And some people act like they're immaturing
I don't know if I am growing younger
But I am never more alive than when I am lying in your arms again
colin vearncombe (black) - all we need is the money
I make no promises,
I make no guarantees,
it makes no difference
when you're all at sea.
Try me for money,
you can try me for days,
I'll be indifferent
when you've none you can't pay.
Say something good to me,
say it's not always.
You've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
We can do it, we can do it,
all we need is the money.
Oh, you've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
You made your preference,
you made your guarantees
and it made no difference
we're still all at sea.
Tell me it's working now
you can tell me for days,
I'll be indifferent,
there's no justice this way.
Oh, say something good to me,
say it's not always.
You've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
We can do it, we can do it,
all we need is the money.
Oh, you've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
(solo)
Oh, say something good to me,
say it's not always.
You've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
We can do it, we can do it,
all we need is the money.
Oh, you've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
Hey, you've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
Oh, you've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
colin vearncombe (black) - are you having a wonderful life
This was a song I wrote too many years ago
More than I'd like to know
Or want you to remember
Born in time to see the sixties die
Born too late to know what was so great
Or remember
The river ran round on the other side
Where it can never come back
Are you having a wonderful life?
I was the song I wrote before I thought to sing
Some of them thought there were other things I should do here
And you missed the rain until it started up
Standing outside with a paper cup in December
The river ran round on the other side
But it can never run back
Are you having a wonderful life?
The sound of wind rushing in the trees
Singing drunk on a trampoline in December
The river can run round the other side
But it can never run back
Are you having a wonderful life?
colin vearncombe (black) - ave lolita
Gone and gone for good,
grown up and slipped away.
Passed from now to then
like a river going by
to rush headlong into the sea.
She hears the band and play "Ave Lolita".
She sees her future coming to her in a flash-
starts counting hours, starts counting minutes,
and walks the line she still can't define-
Ave Lolita.
If you sleep at all, sleep well
for the coming day won't spare you.
If fear is the key,
you are lost outside the door
and you've been there before.
When you heard the band play "Ave Lolita"
she caught her future rushing by her in a flash.
Start counting hours, start counting minutes
and walk the line while there's still time-
Ave Lolita.
Watch the sky for details,
watch the distance for fire,
fiery pinpricks our of reach,
I can't hold the lines of words to tick them off,
but it won't be long now...
She hears the band play "Ave Lolita",
she sees her future coming to her in a flash-
starts counting hours, starts counting minutes,
and walk the line she still can't define-
Ave Lolita.
colin vearncombe (black) - better letting go
Lately we've been acting like strangers
We never show our feelings
Or say the things we mean
It's hard to admit
But maybe it's time to quit pretending
'cause we both know
it's better letting go
there's no point hanging on
to what used to be
why can't we see
it's better letting go
It's crazy to sit here in silence
Counting off the seconds
The beating of our hearts
When there's no more to give
There's no easy way to live together
We both know
It's better letting go
It's time to walk away
And start again
This makes no sense
It's better letting go
No matter how we fake it
This love has faded
The feeling has gone
It's time to move on
It's no good looking back
It hurts but we both know it baby
It's better letting go
There's no point hanging on
To what used to be
Why can't we see
It's better letting go
It's better letting go
It's time to walk away
And start again
This makes no sense
It's better letting go
colin vearncombe (black) - black eyed susan
After the parties when I'm more drunk than lonely
Sinking down into only sweet thoughts of you
I see you waltzing in slow, slow circles
With your hair hanging down like a waterfall
I'Â?m aching to hold you, wrap and enfold you and make you mine
My black eyed Susan
But you're his
When he wants you, whenever that is
And I wouldn't change it even if I wanted to
I'm aching to hold you, wrap and enfold you and make you mine
My black eyed Susan
I'm aching to hold you, wrap and enfold you
But it's him, no-one but him
For black eyed Susan
colin vearncombe (black) - blonde trouble
she's the kind could clean you out
strip your clothes, blow up your house
stand you naked in the rubble
making promises with your fingers crossed
counting the cost of the things you've lost
count the cost of things unfound
blond trouble
she's like the driving force of fate
a mirror thrown from a speeding train
an elastic rope that's drawn between two points
her voice says: would i lie to you?
the eyes say something different
she says: i think i love you
but it's not the thought that counts
roll a six Â?cause you know you can
stare down the barrel of a loaded gun
move to a place that seems remote
she's the kind could clean you out
strip your clothes blow up your house
stand you naked in the rubble
blond trouble
colin vearncombe (black) - blue
It's time to shout,
it's time to let them know what we're about
As winter kisses frosty cold and hard to hands
I'll waste not an ounce of my time
Now that summer's in time
To hold back the night
Keep me up from the fire
Back to the wheel
Don't look down,
Don't ever let them know you're down
For if we are, we are
If we're not, so what?
I'll waste not an ounce of my time
Now that summer's in time
To hold back the night
Keep me up from the fire
Back to the wheel
Speak in my ear
Speak in my ear
You're living a lie
You're living a lie
No you can't here
No you can't here
Out from the fire
Out from here
Hell on the way
There's hell on the way
colin vearncombe (black) - blue sky
You play to win
No looking backwards
Just throw the switch and step back
Looking like you're innocent
Do I have to let you know
That the game begins with you
When I know that somewhere, there is a blue sky for us?
On the outside form the outside looking in
You know where it ends but not how to begin
It's like you're in a dream
Do I have to let you know
That the game began with you
'cause I know that somewhere, there is a blue sky for us?
We're coming through
We fill the airwaves
Just throw the switch and step back
Grinning like you're in a dream
Do I have to let you know that the game
Begins with you
And I know
That somewhere
There is a blue sky
For us?
colin vearncombe (black) - change your mind
Now and again
an innocent shines
out from the crowd
and scenes
that roll down the streets
the inhuman streams,
down from the trees,
and up from their knees.
Jump overboard,
strike for the shore,
leave your clothes to the fire.
Counting the days your innocence paid.
You can play it, re-arrange it,
you can change your mind.
Tell me how
the horrors escape
as we follow their trail
'til dark.
Once for the need,
twice for the thrill,
into the groves,
into the groves.
Wash up ashore,
follow the call,
leave your debts behind you.
Counting the ways that innocence pays.
You can play it, re-arrange it,
you might change your mind.
(solo)
In the big city heat
a photo can fade,
who were the saints
of old?
Keep a brush at your heels
and cover your tracks,
aim for the higher
ground in the field.
Jump overboard,
strike for the shore,
leave your clothes to the fire.
Counting the days your innocence paid.
You can play it, re-arrange it,
you can change your mind.
Change your mind.
Change your mind.
Change your mind.
colin vearncombe (black) - charlemagne
Blind barking Bobby he can rage
The red mist come down and take centre stage
And if he could see he'd knock you down
And he may yet if you stick around
The sunlight only happens when he dreams
The cold light of day is how it's gonna stay
Some thing's only happen Â?cause it rains
It takes another kind for taking up the strain and
Be Charlemagne
He's looking out not looking in
Don't have to deal with where you're looking
One more human face to fill your mind
And where the shadows fall...
You dare not find
colin vearncombe (black) - child s play
we walked on out to the tip of the sound
and we rolled in the surf like seals there
and she sang songs to the dolphins and whales
that move through the deep waters
we ran and laughed to tumble over each other
sprawl in the long grass
and you kissed my hand
and i wept like i was in heaven
Tremayne was born on the fifth of July
and she grew like a wild flower
and plays with love as a dangerous thing
runs deep as the still water
she runs, she laughs, she twists inside
of herself to land where she ought to
Â?cause from on your back
you can see straight up into heaven
and it's child's play
New York in fall and Paris in the springtime
all the different places we could go
revolving like the backdrop to the show
"if i couldn't live without you"
to be standing in the places that i didn't wanna go
looking at the faces i never thought i'd know
the clearing of the lines for her to step into
thinking of the things that it might mean to you
you can walk on out to the tip of the sound
walk on out to the tip of the sound
colin vearncombe (black) - cold chicken skin
Shirt's all torn and I'm lame
If I try to smile (it) hurts my face
All I hear is complaint but who left this mess on my plate?
Oh I will fade away on...watch my hair turn grey on cold chicken skin and
dog tail soup
Tell me is that all I'm worth to you?
Cold chicken skin and dog tail soup
Is that all that I bring you?
Inside out from cocaine
Got a bird on a rush in your brain
Wild eyed singing your song
Calling out my name like you're pulling it along
Yo yo look on your face
What you got in that bag, hair and nails?
What's that splashed on the walls?
The top half of a dog
And that's all.........!
colin vearncombe (black) - come out of the rain
Angel with your head down in a storm
I know the lonely place you're running from
So have I got to tell you
It's alright to start again
Say when and baby come out of the rain
You've been inside your head for far too long
Come live inside your life before it's gone
I know you want to tell me it comes on like a tidal wave
Hold tight and baby, come out of the rain
I'd pull down the sky for you
Try all that I cannot do
And I'd steal a line from "angel eyes" as we sit and watch the water rise
Counting as you break the ties hold angels to their wings
Angel with your heart turned inside out
There's no silent running in reality
You've got to let your number count
And though it's like to choke you
And comes on a like a hurricane
Walk straight and
Baby, come out of the rain
Vearncombe/Gary Clark
