Deacon Blue - "Dark End of the Street" / "When Will You Make My Telephone Ring?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLdFqozHOhA
"Dark End of the Street"
At the dark end of the street
That is where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness, to hide alone
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know a time has gonna take it's toll
We have to pay for the love we stole
It's a sin and we know that it's wrong
But oh, darling our love keeps going on strong
Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street
You and me
"When Will You Make My Telephone Ring?"
Pale blue eyes
Same old house, no ties
A little bit older but not so
Worldly wise
That I can't see
Your light's on me
Making me regretfully say
The wonder of it all was you
And underneath it all it wasn't true
I want you in everything
In everything
In anything I do
When will you make my 'phone ring
And tell me I can't give you anything
Anything at all now
Tiny steps
From ruthless legs
When you've been walking so long
Now don't you rest
From disharmony
From disunity
From anything that isn't you and me
The wonder of it all was you
And underneath it all it wasn't true
I want you in everything
In everything
In anything I do
When will you make my 'phone ring
And tell me I can't give you anything
Anything at all now
When the daylight all goes around
And by chance we're both down town
Please meet, and walk on by
Oh, darling, please don't you cry
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
Tired of chasing old dreams
Tired of wasting days
Tired of waking mornings
Just to wait for you 'till late
Tired of searching high
Tired of getting low
Tired of listening hard
Just to wait for you to know that
When will you make my 'phone ring
And tell me I can't give you anything
Anything at all now
I want you in everything
In everything
In anything I do
When will you make my 'phone ring
And tell me I can't give you anything
Anything at all now
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
Deacon Blue - "Your Town"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf8gm7ou-YY
I wouldn't want to be you
Mostly not even near you
When you're gone they will curse you
And raise the tide against you
I no longer care now
For what you said was fair now
I just don't go there now
I just don't go
Maybe there's a way not to make it hurt
To cover up the words like you covered up the dirt
Ever since you left
It just gets worse
Living out in your town
Now let's say it like it is
I just don't know where to begin
It's a different way of living
It's so strange to what we've been
First we speak for ourselves now
And people know who we are now
And they wake up and they live now
Yes they wake up and they live
Maybe there's a way not to let it hurt
Tell it out in pictures
And songs and words
Do what we should not
To make it worse
Living out in your town
Deacon Blue - "Only Tender Lov "
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3NfspgsAIs
Way out there in the wilderness
Of love and pain
Under the gentle arches we rode
The silver streets
Couldn`t see a difference between gold or
Wooden cross
Could never see where we`re falling
Came in to love
Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees
Only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was
Never was there once nothing
And everything once was
Not dead but still and ready to be born anew
Looking back now it all
Seems so clear
Like staring so long unseeing for someone to light inside a
Darkened room
Then try your tender love
Push you back till there`s nowhere left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more
More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes to get home and have a love again
More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes
To get home and have a love
Then try your tender love
Push it till there`s nothing left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more
Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees
Then only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was

Deacon Blue - "Born In A Storm / Raintown"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZrgNNrJIcU
"Born In A Storm"
That hurricane day
Will soon pass away
And someone will sweep
All the jetsam back into the bay
And you'll come
Like you always did
And knock on my door
Like the big bad wind
Born in a storm
Is that the only excuse you can give
Born in a storm
Is that all you're going to live
"Raintown"
It`s a rain dirt town job hurts but it don`t pay
All these calls they`re making me and driving you insane
Don`t you see
Don`t you understand
Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all I am.
You`re in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go
I`m down here working on some dumb show
In a raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those days you`re not around
It takes a big hearted girl from the North Country you can tell
How you payed those bills and went through
Heaven and hell
And you
You cried and you traveled and you spat but you never asked
Well how long how long how long is this pain
You`re on for three minutes trying hard to say hello
I`m down here working on some dumb show
In a Raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a Raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those days you`re not around
Sitting at home listening to your radio
Listening for your old friend talking on some dumb show
What`s he saying
What`s he saying
What`s he saying
In a Raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a Raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those days you`re not around
Raintown
Rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
Raintown
Rain down
On all those days you`re not around
You`re not around
You`re not around

Deacon Blue - "Love and Regret"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9ZW7PRcOfA
Cold dawn
Won`t comfort you
Cold coffee
Won`t see you through
Cold sheets
Won`t heal your heart
Your frozen fingers of your
Name so tarred
I know so rarely
That things come your way
Your ways are tender
And your paths are straight
Your mind`s not lived in
The way ours are set
Your heart is open
To love and regret
Rings and letters
They pass me by
You wish them well
And seldom cry
For stones and promises and wedding sighs
You`ve known the times that you`ve
Lived and died
Those sailors come by
And spend time ashore
Their thoughts are hoarded
As yours have been stored
Your mind`s not lived in
The way ours are set
Your heart is open
To love and regret
Outside in the morning air
I hear the soundtrack of the
Blues harp player
It touches…
Feelings that don't arouse
Knocks me back to that
Shuttered house
Take me back
When they`re all out
Take me back to that
Shuttered house
I know so rarely
That things come your way
Your ways are tender
And your paths are straight
Your mind`s not lived in
The way ours are set
Your heart is open
To love and regret
Love and regret
Love and regret
Love and regret
Love and regret
Deacon Blue - "Cover from the Sky"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E2A6aRAWro
I will love you when the morning is ascending
I will love you when the moon is riding high
I will love you when we only have pretending
When our home becomes a cover from the sky
Well my eyes have seen the dust and then the ashes
And the lowland and white sky of your home
And the rain that washed mascara from my lashes
And nothing gave us cover from the sky
When you`re gone I notice all your tiny touches
And it`s then that I see it's then that I know why
If the days become the walls you never wanted
Our years will give us cover from the sky
From the sky
Well we've been among the saints and the angels
And we don`t want to wait until we die
So we`ll stand among the ruins of our temples
And pray to god for cover from the sky
Deacon Blue - "He looks like Spencer Tracy now"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAuBfmTf9HU
There's a shadow on his photograph on Tinian '45
Smiling like a college boy who's glad to be alive
But now he owns a factory and a store in Los Alamos
A wife called Beverly sells second hand Ford Motors
He may have taken pictures, been caught in Albuquerque
Flown in great artiste on a mushroom cloud
He may be a senator or a general or a turn key
But I know he looks like Spencer Tracy now
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he may have been with Oppenheimer, shaken Einstein's hand
Did we have to drop the bomb? You bet, to save this land
He was only taking pictures around the critical mass
While the troops on Tinian island sang 'Follow the bouncing ball'
White Christmas
He may have been a nationalist, a physicist or a pacifist
But he's just taking pictures and he'll do it anyhow
Well, I have seen that movie of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde
And I know he looks like Spencer Tracy Now
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
Tears falling down the streets
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
Oh, he cries all night

Deacon Blue - "Your Swaying Arms"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_h988Ju2KQ
Send me back all the thing she ever wrote
Tell me secrets of her days when she was young
Show me nights when she laughed
So innocent
I`ll be happy
Waiting till they come
Love the people that she smiled upon
Walk with me in streets
Where she once stood
Say if it could be that we once passed like strangers
Long before the love we ever new
`Cause I've been longing
For a new world waiting
I've been hoping
To be sent
I've been picking up
All the love we squandered
Until you
Hold me in your swaying arms again
One day I can see us walking
Arm and arm in sheltered Kelvin Way
Talking and tripping and teasing
And heading for the best part of the day
When your head
Falls softly on my pillow
No fear will make you cry or turn you grey
And we will wake
So early in the morning
Knowing you`ll never
Never
Never go away
`Cause I've been longing
For a new world waiting
I've been hoping
To be sent
I've been picking up
All the love we squandered
Until you
Hold me in your swaying arms again
I've been longing
For a new world waiting
I've been hoping
To be sent
I've been picking up
All the love we squandered
Until you
Hold me in your swaying arms again
Until you
Rest me in your swaying arms again
In your arms
In your swaying arms
Your swaying arms
Hold me
Bless me now
Hold me
Hold me now
Hold me hold me hold me
In your arms
Your swaying arms
Your swaying arms
Hold me

Deacon Blue - "The Hipsters"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNTlJKLrUtI
All, all those waves
And that old sun
Shining
So drive
Drive to the coast
And let the water
Surround you
I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining
Friends, who needs friends?
When there’s a road
And an ocean
I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining
When I let the dream
Die slowly down
Did I do it right
Or was I wrong?
I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipsters
I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining, falling
Glistening, diving...
Deacon Blue "This Is A Love Song"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCx6vxRaEno
Morning comes
To the sound of bells
Lying beside me
Saying you gotta be somewhere else
There was a time
Everything got lost
Everyone and everything we once loved was in the past
Across the room you're looking at me
You touch the handle and you're looking at me
Walking out that door
Still looking at me
There's something
There's something
There's something
You gotta know
Morning comes
I lie awake
I'm looking at you
I only look today you're going away
Look at your clothes
Scattered at the floor
There's nothing gonna change
Nothing gonna change anymore
I get sorry
When you don't appear
I get sorry
When you come to near
I'm standing in your way
You're still looking at me
There's something
There's something
There's something you gotta know
Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer
Then anything you're going through
Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer
Then anything you're going through
Lovesong
This is a lovesong
Lovesong
This is a lovesong
You gotta
Walk a long way
Walk a long way
Walk a long way
To come back again
You gotta
Walk a long way
Walk a long way
Walk a long way
To come back again
Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer
Then anything you're going through
Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer
Then anything you're going through
Lovesong
This is a lovesong
Lovesong
This is a lovesong
Lovesong
This is a lovesong
Lovesong
This is a lovesong
Lovesong
Deacon Blue - "Chocolate Girl"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjhfH5P5ZEM
Alan doesn't understand her
He only thinks in numbers
He only drinks in restaurants
Where the girls are fully covered
And he can't trust his yearnings
And he doesn't like pretending
His tempers stretched so much by work
His heart needs gentle rending
He calls her the chocolate girl
Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
Cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
Alan doesn't understand this
He says he's only human
So he still lights up with old flames
As if to try and prove it
And he doesn't like emotion
He's not certain of their ardor
If pouting causes so much fun
Then breaking hearts is harder
He calls her the chocolate girl
Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
Cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
Alan doesn't understand her
He thinks it's getting harder
So he spends the night with old friends
Underneath the covers
And he talks about the chocolate girl
And how he thinks she melts when he touches her
And that she knows she's the chocolate girl
Cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
And he calls her the chocolate girl
Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
And she knows she's the chocolate girl
Cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
Deacon Blue - "Twist & Shout"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc6v7OWq5Bk
You've got a lot of
Things to say about the
Big world and the
High skies so you
Walk a little in a
Long mile to be
Sure your eyes can see the
Right sights
I see a
Pale girl in a
Blue room with a
Pink dress and a
Wide smile I see a
Pale girl in a
Blue room with a
Pink dress and a
Wide smile
You've got a little
Way to go before you
Find the knowledge that you're
Searching for so you'll
Turn the big world
Upside down
To find the things that you
Never wanted
I see a
Pale girl in a
Blue room with a
Pink dress and a
Wide smile I need a
Pink smile on a
Dark night from the
Right girl to be
Sure it's right
You've got three million things to get mad about
Another hundred things to get glad about
Junk food
The whole world over's good as standing round
So baby twist and shout baby
Find out baby
Find out baby
Find out baby
So it's April and the
Things you say don't
Seem as certain as on
Hogmanay when we
Kissed at midnight and a
Wee wee Bells had
Gave me courage for my
My heart to tell
I see a
Pale girl in a
Blue room with a
Pink dress and a
Wide smile I need a
Pink smile on a
Dark night from the
Right girl to be
Sure it's right
I see a
Pale girl in a
Blue room with a
Pink dress and a
Wide smile I need a
Pink smile on a
Dark night from the
Right girl to be
Sure it's right
You need the right girl
Hmmm Hmmm
You need the right girl
Come on come on come on come baby
You need the right girl
I'm working out
You need the right girl
Twist and shout
Come on come on baby

Deacon Blue - "Real Gone Kid"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTt9FSHaP7Q
And I'd tear out the pages
That I've got in these books
Just to find you some words
Just to get some reward
And I'll show you all the photographs
That I ever got took
And I'll play you old 45's
That now mean nothing to me
And you're a real gone kid
And maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
I'll do what I should have did
Now I've stood on your shadow
And I've watched it grow
And it's shaken and it's driven me
And let me know
Let me know let me know let me know
About all the old 45s
And the paperback rooms
And it's scattered all the photographs
Of summers and suns
And you're a real gone kid
And maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
Maybe now baby
I'll do what I should have did
Cause you're a real
Gone

Deacon Blue - "Dignity"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRUk9R3QNqg
There's a man I meet walks up our street
He's a worker for the council
Has been twenty years
And he takes no lip of nobody
And litter off the gutter
Puts it in a bag
And never sthinks to mutter
And he packs his lunch in a sunblest bag
The children call him bogie
He never lets on
But I know 'cause he once told me
He let me know a secret about the money in his kitty
He's gonna buy a dinghy
Gonna call her dignity
And I'll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
They'll be doing their rounds
They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity
And I'm telling this story
In a faraway scene
Sipping down raki
And reading maynard keynes
And I'm thinking about home and all that means
And a place in the winter for dignity
And I'll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
They'll be doing their rounds
They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity
And I'm thinking about home
And I'm thinking about faith
And I'm thinking about work
And I'm thinking how good it would be
To be here some day

Deacon Blue - "Wages Day"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuVhm8qT8RQ
There we stood and there we left
Outside the flashing neon sign
With the smell of cheap cigars
And the hope of sweet perfume
And his heart it was reeling
With the thrill of it all
All to do and only hours
He said all this is all yours
You can have it all
You can take it all away
From where we left off
Living it all your way
If you'll stand in my shoes
If you'll do what I do
On wages day
On wages day
And the cap from Disneyland
That his cousin she brought back
Stays open in his hand
From one week to another
And this long narrow land
Is full of possibility
All to do and only hours
He said all this is all yours
You can have it all
You can take it all away
From where we left off
Living it all your way
If you'll stand in my shoes
If you'll do what I do
On wages day
On wages day

Deacon Blue - "Gone"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f87zg_bnk6w
Were you there at the beginning,
Pacing the roads,
Walking the streets
Or in the shadows of the summer,
Close by, but never seen
Were you the figure in the window,
Seen from some speeding train.
Or accidentally in a photograph,
Of a half forgotten scene
Did I see you from the park,
Round the corner of the bridge
Were you a swimmer or just a rock,
Clasped in a moment from the beach
If I never see you one more time,
I know you’re in all my dreams
It would be everything,
Just to see you back again
But you’re gone
You’re gone
Everybody’s lost,
Not just the ones you know.
We are a lot of travelers,
All trying to get home.
Did I see you from the platform?
Slowly pulling out again,
Did I pass you on the road,
Almost forgotten everyone
If I never see you one more time,
I know you’re in all my dreams
It would be everything,
Just to see you back again
But you’re gone,
But you’re gone,
You’re gone
You’re gone
You’re gone
You’re gone
You’re gone
You’re gone
You’re gone
You’re gone
You’re gone
If I never see you one more time,
I know you’re in all my dreams
It would be everything,
Just to see you back again
If I never see you one more time,
I know you’re in all my dreams
It would be everything,
Just to see you back again
But you’re gone,
You’re gone
You’re gone
You’re gone
