brandon flowers - crossfire

There's a still in the street outside your window
You're keepin' secrets on your pillow
Let me inside, no cause for alarm
I promise tonight, not to do no harm
I promise you baby, I won't be no harm

And we're caught up in the crossfire
of heaven and hell
and were searching for shelter
lay your body down...(3x)

Watching your dress as you turn down the light
I forget all about the storm outside
Dark clouds roll their way over town
Heartache and pain came pouring down like
chaos in the rain, yeah
they're handing it out

And we're caught up in the crossfire
of heaven and hell
and were searching for shelter
lay your body down... (6x)

Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came
his fire he airs all through their beating vein.
and when the hardest part is over we'll be here
and our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears
boundaries of our fears

Lay your body down(6x)
Next to mine....

brandon flowers - between me and you

Between me and you
I've been thinking about the future and
Between me and you
I think I'm losing it now

Between me and you
I've been worried about the future and
Between me and you
I think I'm losing it now

And all my life
I've been told
Follow your dreams
But the trail went cold
And the heart don't lie
And that's a good luck charm
But I'm watching it tear out, up my arms

There's a power in letting go
I guess I didn't want to let you know
These hours I'm working ain't nearly enough
Sometimes it's like a bullet came
And blasted me right out of the blue
But I'm doing my best
Not to let it get
Between me and you

Between me and you
I've been struggling just to carry the weight
Between me and you
I think I'm losing it now

The first time that
I saw your face
Time stood still
I found my place
Now I'm watching it tear out, up my arms

There's a power in letting go
I guess I didn't want to let you know
These hours I'm working ain't nearly enough
Chasing every dollar
Girl is this what I was born to do?
But I'm doing my best
Not to let it get
Between me and you

I remember you and why
In the garden
It's been trial after trial
Through the ringer in the back
Out the window off the sack
I was just to proud to know
There's a power in letting go

Never thought it would be so hard
These hours I'm working ain't nearly enough
Sometimes it's like a bullet came
And blasted me right out of the blue
And I feel like I've got nothing to show
But this life and I've been wondering
What am I supposed to do?

But I'm doing my best
Not to let it get
And I'm doing my best
Not to let it get
And I'm doing my best
Not to let it get
Between me and you

brandon flowers - diggin up the heart

Tony came back to town
With his cap and gown
That they give him at the state pen
Breakin' and entering'll do that
Tony?s mama said ?He?s only human?

Look what the cat dragged in
From its next of kin
Little sister hugs the tin man
Tony, she?s grown
Ain't she pretty, in her little black dress?
He?s digging up the heart
To know the price he paid

You can hear the train
When you?re in the cage
And you can smell the rain
And you can see the sagebrush
Fretting the highway
But you can't drive

And when you finally put the asphalt to the tire
Looks something like Sistine
on fire
Ripping through the dark
He?s digging up the heart

Digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Digging up the heart

One, two, three, four five
Oh, me, oh, my
Count the reasons that you shouldn't be messing
With the sons of perdition
That were gonna take you down
The straight and narrow
Fever dreaming of another place that
You just can?t get
Like the workmen in the pit
Little brother, you?re lying to yourself
If you think you've changed

It?s just another heart
Ain't there something strange

When Tony left
They were scratching at the door
In particular, one wanted him more
Her name was Christie
The Queen of Humboldt County

But three to five is a lifetime at that age
Christie met herself another boy and got engaged
Left him in the dark
He?s digging up the heart

Digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Digging up the heart

He?s digging up the heart
Digging up the heart

With a little luck
When the times get rough
Digging up the heart

Now the clerk's got his hands up
And his mind?s on the mark
The .38 beneath the register
He?s digging up the heart

Digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Digging up the heart

You?re digging up the heart
Digging up the heart

With a little luck
When the times get rough
Digging up the heart

Well it ain't that strange
Even boys can change
Digging up the heart

brandon flowers - hard enough

You let me in to your life unaware
And that there was magic and fire in the night
And love I was just a little boy
I made mistakes that caused you so much pain
All I know is that I'm older now

Some people think that it's best to refrain
from the conventions of old-fashioned love
Their hearts are filled with holes and emptiness
They tell themselves that they're too young to settle down
Girl, I promise you I'm older now

And this has been hard enough on you
I know it's been hard enough on me
In telling myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head
Darling, don't you see
While this has been hard enough on you
It's been hard enough on me

I wasn't looking when we built these walls
Let me spread my dreams at your feet
Let's not let times build the flood rise
Before my thoughts begin to run
I think I'm getting older now

And this has been hard enough on you
I know it's been hard enough on me
In telling myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head
Darling, don't you see
While this has been hard enough on you
It's been hard enough on me

Can't stand the thought of another,
talking to you sweet my dear
Where would I be tonight if you hadn't held me here, in your arms?

And this has been hard enough on you
I know it's been hard enough on me
In telling myself that I can't roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head
Darling, don't you see
While this has been hard enough on you
It's been hard enough on me

brandon flowers - i came here to get over you

I came here thinking I could ease the pain
I came in spite of others' good advice
I came here thinking sweet, sweet revenge
Bring me some sugar, let the games begin

I made a lot of bad decisions but tonight I'm breaking through
I came here to get over you

I had this dream about a wild bird
Black feathered picking at your beating heart
You reach for me and shout, "I need your love!"
Yet soon collapses when I call your bluff

Picking at your heart strings
I need your love
I started shaking when you told me that you found somebody new
I came here to get over you

And the lights are burning like kerosene
I can't stop thinking about you and me
Did you cross your fingers when you told me you'd be true?

I came here to get
I came here to get
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you

I made a lot of bad decisions but tonight I'm breaking through

brandon flowers - jacksonville

Slow down your mind
Feel the unknow space with truth and lie
If you can find the time
Time seems so slow
Now we?re stuck asking where do we go
And what are we here for

There we were
Looking at some country window
And although we had our problems, we where fine
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly

Summertime so sweet
Luxuries of childhood were on our feet
In the sun sun sun
So baby run run run
Baby run run run
Baby run run run
Games will be portrayed

There we were
Looking at some country window
And although we had our problems, we where fine
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly

The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly

I've been to Jacksonville
I've been to Monterrey
I've felt a mother's love
I've seen the colors change
I've cried a million tears
I've caused a million more
I've been to Jacksonville

There we were
Looking at some country window
And although we had our problems, we where fine

brandon flowers - jilted lovers amp broken hearts

Is there anyone out there?
Somewhere i can belong?
The city just aint so kind tonight
I need a place to take refuge
Cos i've been loving you blind
I guess i made it hard for me to find
We were caught up in
The middle of a wornout dream
I knew we were in trouble...

But baby i almost screamed when
I saw you dancing on the?
I watched him spin you round and round
Why did you roll your dice
Show your cards
Jilted Lovers and Broken Hearts
You're flying away while
Im stuck here on the ground...

Is there anyone out there?
Somewhere i can belong?
The city just aint so kind tonight
And if i had my suspicions
I kept that out of my heart
Just wish i had known right from the start
That you'd be speaking in riddles
And you'd never come by
I knew we were in trouble but...

Honey i almost cried when
I saw you dancing on the?
I watched him spin you round and round
Why did you roll your dice
Show your cards
Jilted Lovers and Broken Hearts
I dont win and im still
Waiting to be found...

You did a fine job of hiding
That crooked ace up your sleeve
You doubled down in my direction
You kissed me on my cheek?
I followed you through the darkness
I followed you through the cold
Woman i can tell you one thing
You're gonna wish you could
Go back and fold...

Why did you roll your dice
Show your cards
Jilted Lovers and Broken Hearts
You're flying away while
Im stuck here on the ground...

Why did you roll your dice
Show your cards
Jilted Lovers and Broken Hearts
I dont win and im still
Waiting to be found...

Will i ever win
Only time will tell
You got something to remember?
All I really did was pass the time
And thats the bottom line
Jilted Lovers and Broken Hearts...

Is there anyone out there?
Somewhere I can belong
Man, the city just stayed so kind,
Tonight...

I need a place to take refuge
See, I been loving you blind
And I guess that made
It hard for me to find...

Now we were caught up in
The middle of a worn out dream
I knew we were in trouble but baby,
I almost screamed
When I saw you dancing
On the moon now
I watched him spin you round and round
Why did you roll your dice?
And show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You're flying away,
While I'm stuck here on the ground...

Is there anyone out there?
Somewhere I can belong
Man, the city just stayed so kind
Tonight...

And if I had my suspicions
I kept them out of my heart
Just wished I would of known
Rright from the start...

That you'd be speaking in riddles
And you're never coming back
You know I know we were in trouble but honey,
I almost cried
When I saw you dancing
On the moon now
I watched him spin you round and round
Why did you roll your dice?
And show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts

That crooked ace up your sleeve
You doubled down my direction
You kissed me on the cheek and leave

Woman, I will tell you one thing
You're gonna wish you
Could go back and fold...

And show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You're flying away,
While I'm stuck here on the ground...

Why did you roll your dice?
And show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You're out on the wind and
I'm still waiting to be found...

brandon flowers - magdalena

Oh oh oh oh?
Please don?t tell me I can?t make it
It ain?t gonna do me any good
And please don?t offer me your modern methods
I?m fixin? to carve this out of wood

From Nogales to Magdalena
There are 60 miles of sacred road
And the promise is made for those who venture
San Francisco will lift your load
Oh oh oh oh ?

In the land of old Sonora
A shallow river valley cries
The summer left her without forgiveness
It?s mirrored in her children?s eyes
Prodigal sons and wayward daughters
Carry ??? that they might
Deliver through the depths of darkness
And born again by candlelight
And born again by candlelight

Oh oh oh oh?.
Blisters on my feet
Wooden rosary
I put them in my pocket as I ran
A bullet in the night
A Federales life
San Francisco do you understand?

Tell him that I made the journey
And tell him that my heart is true
I?d like his blessing of forgiveness
Before the angels send a crew

And I will know that I am clean now
And I will dance and the band will play
In the old ???? cantina
Cups will runneth over the ancient clay

And if I should fall to temptation
When I return to the evil throes
From Nogales to Magdalena
As a two-time beggar I will go
Where I know I can be forgiven
For the broken heart of Mexico
oh oh oh?
Broken heart of Mexico
oh oh oh?
The Broken heart of Mexico

brandon flowers - on the floor

When the lights go down
In the city
Getting real low
Settling in my room,
I'm unnoticed
When the still comes
In through the window
Letting me go
I feel a calm,
Come over me,
On the floor...

On the floor...

Where the rats
All come away clean
They're on the floor
Where the children
All stomped and screamed
Straight out the door
Well i find my self
On my knees
Begging please
When the lights go down
In the city
And everyone goes
To their room
Walking the trail
To dreamland...

When the lights go down
In the city
Something is roaring
I find myself
Waiting to believe...

On the floor...

Where the mice call shots
In the corner that's where i'll be
When the crickets come home
And sing their symphony
Well i find myself on my knees...

Begging please...

On the floor
Facing the things i've done
Here on the floor
Where the years
Have gathered and run
That's where i'll be
And i find myself on my knees...

Begging please...

brandon flowers - only the young

Look back in silence
The cradle of your whole life
There in the distance
Losing its greatest prize
Nothing is easy
Nothing is sacred (why?)
When did the bough break
It happened before your time
And there were people there
Lovely as you?d ever care
Tonight
Baby you can start again
Rising in the open air
Have yourself another dream tonight
Maybe we can start again

Chorus-
Only the young can break away break away
Lost when the wind blows on your own oh
Only the young can break away break away
Lost when the wind blows on your own oh

Mother its cold here
Father thy will be done
Thunder and lightning
Are crashing down
They?ve got me on the run
Direct me to the sun
Redemption keeps my covers clean tonight
Maybe we can start again

Chorus

and the sun will shine again
and the sun will shine again
are you looking for the sign

brandon flowers - playing with fire

Daddy I'm not gonna tell you that I'm sorry
But there ain't nothing you can do to change my mind
I'm not here to know the things I cannot do
We've seen the outcome of the boys who didn't fly

That road outside that you've been taking home forever
That will be the same road that I take when I depart
These charcoal veins that hold this chosen land together
May twist and turn but somewhere deep there is a heart

Playing with fire
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
And you're out on the wire
You know we're playing with fire

Perhaps this calling is the channel of invention
I will not blush if others see it as a crime
However dangerous the road, however distant
These things won't compromise the will of the design.
Ten thousand demons hammer down with every footstep
Ten thousand angels rush the wind against my back
This church of mine may not be recognized by steeple
That doesn't mean that I will walk without a God

Rolling River of Truth, can you spare me a sip?
The Holy fountain of youth has been reduced to a drip
I've got this burning belief in salvation and love
This notion made me naive, but when push comes to shove
I will till this ground

You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
Out on the wire

I might not get there
This little town, this little house,
They seem to be leaning in the wrong direction

I'm not afraid of you no more

Playing with fire
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
And you're out on the wire
You know you're playing with fire

brandon flowers - right behind you

Pass by the door to get to heaven
Seven trumps in brighton pride
Your hear it coming
In the middle of the night
A caution to the children time
To turn your crimes to white
Above the reservations...

Trials become serenly
Without explanaiton
But You where born with goodness
But You where born with goodness
Whatever you go now...

(Chorus)

Im right behind you
In the light of hope
I?ll be beside you
On the dusty rode
And if u can blind well
That?s all right
We can wind blow with
Grace and mind
The clean to
The ways of my name
When you touch me so...

Break your word all over me
Sinkin in the quicksand
Break your world don?t you see
Ur breaking me down no...

Im right behind you
In the light of hope
I?ll be beside you
On the dusty rode
When no one expects
You to deny
No one except
Your reasons why
You?re clean to
The ways of my name
When you touch me so...

brandon flowers - swallow it

Seek out the light between
Time and confusion glowing up ahead
Instead of slipping through
You bit off more,
Much more than you could chew...

You could not Swallow It
No baby you?re not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you?re not ready, slow down...

We had a lot to learn
Table manners and grace,
How to wait your turn when
Time came to clear your slate
You had too much,
Had too much on your plate...

You could not Swallow It
No baby you?re not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you?re not ready, slow down...

Take your medicine
And crawl before you walk
Think it through before
You open your mouth to talk
Be an advocate of joy
Find your little heart?s desire and...

Follow it
Whoa baby you?re not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you?re not ready, slow down...

(Baby you?re not ready!)

You could not Swallow It
No baby you?re not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you?re not ready, now...

(Slow down!)

No, no, no, no!

Don?t be afraid,
This is your year
It?s gonna be alright,
You?re a performer
Just take your time,
But not too much time...

No, no, no, no!

brandon flowers - tell me it s not over

Thought I'd lost you once again
All that drinking brought some trouble to our name
Late at night I feel no shame
All my old world stories

Take me back again
Now the lights out
I discover, she is sleeping
With another

Tell me it's not over
What a place to seal your fate
A deserted car park
Not even a date

Please don't tell me it's too late
If you love someone
Don´t throw it all away
Now the lights out

I discover, just a weekend
Undercover
Tell me it's not over
Tell me it's not over
Tell me it's not over
Now the lights out

I discover, just a weekend
Undercover
Now the lights out
I discover, she is sleeping
With another
Tell me it's not over (x5)
