So this is what the end looks like
Without rights and iron around my foot
If I were a bolder liar I'd be fine now
But nothing pays off the way you think it should
Thinking about the other side
Knowing that I'm gone
But there is kindness and there is good
To be found where you least expect it
You realize you can always do right
Even in the wrong surroundings
Thinking about the other side
Knowing that I'm gone
Hearing your voice over the phone
Singing my songs where I should have been
Alone and proud and sad
In my hometown exile in a kitchen in the old world
So this is what the end looks like
It's just the way you said it would be
But you didn't deny me
And now it's like your tears are saving me
Thinking about the other side
Knowing that I'm gone

Don't be a stranger

Out of your world
I got to go
And all this moaning around
Has got to stop
Watching the curtains
Going down
Hearing the wannabe saviours
Calling me up
And you leave me wandering in my own rooms
Leave me lonely away from your home
But don't don't don't don't don't be a stranger
And you won't see me
On your street no more
I'll be a solid loser
But not on your floor
I'll only compete
With my own disgust
And I would trade your love
For some of your trust
And you leave me wandering in my own rooms
Leave me lonely away from your home
But don't don't don't don't don't be a stranger
And you leave me walking sad and cold
Even leave me when I'm calling you
But don't don't don't don't don't be a stranger
What a sorry sight to see
You're in your act of making me pay
Complete with looks the other way
And you leave me wandering in my own rooms
Leave me lonely far from your home
But don't don't don't don't don't be stranger
And you leave me walking sad and cold
Even leave me when I'm calling you
But don't don't don't don't don't be a stranger

Silence

Running between broken payphones
Buying bread to get the change
My jacket's too thin
I'm freezing in the rain
Through the cracks the air comes in
My plate is empty the lights all dim
They're speaking Russian
But the letters pretty clear
No more silence no more waiting in the hall
No more roses in your kitchen looking bored
A thick cold wall will fall around me
I'll be inside you'll be outside
And it won't be very nice on either side
But that's the only way I know
They say we're like that anyway
I will just be trying to get by
No more waking in the night from what you hear
No more anger that I'll do what you fear
No more ways to misplace what's done wrong
No more silence, no more waiting, I'll be gone
You took my solitude away
And left me in a loneliness
No more songs ringing out when you're quiet
No more sleeping still hungry by my side
No more looking for my bus
And I'm not there
No more silence, no more waiting, I won't be there

The car is jumping up and down
The rain is coming only down
The driver's pushing the motor without being stingy
We're on the road to Cherrapunji
Bulbul in the front seat talking bolla bolla
We're prefering local booze to Coca Cola
An Old Monk in an Ambassador in the rain
An Old Monk in an Ambassador in the rain
Torkel in a blue suit looking like a smurf
We're doing number one into the Bangladesh surf
Zac's telling tales all of them scary
Bunny's on the telephone with Bryan Ferry
The rain won't stop and really why should it
It's got a reputation it's living up to it
An Old Monk in an Ambassador in the rain
An Old Monk in an Ambassador in the rain
In the rain, in the rain
In the everlasting, everlasting rain
I'm huddled in the backseat wet like a sponge
The best thing now is clearly Old Monk
An Old Monk in an Ambassador in the rain
An Old Monk in an Ambassador in the rain
An Old Monk in an Ambassador in the rain
In the rain, in the rain
In the everlasting, everlasting, everlasting, everlasting
Everlasting, everlasting rain
