Just another day on the circle line, losing myself as I follow signs
Beneath the surface underground I keep my feelings deep inside

Just another face in another crowd, taking my place wihtout a sound
I follow strangers blindly through towards the so familiar doors

Just another day

I always depart but I never arrive, never a moment passes by when I feel
I'm not treading water in a sea of drifting souls

No way out, there's no escape, running blind and running scared
And the cctv cameras track my movements in the maze

9 to 5's the only time I try to kid myself that I'm still alive
That I'm living out the dream to earn my freedom from this rat race
Where all I do's survive, I live the lie, I serve my time

The circle line

Just another day, just another day, just another day
Just another day, just another day, just another day on the circle line

The circle line, on the circle line

Navigator, need a navigator, a navigator, need a navigator
				

I'm a soldier in the forever wars
No photos of a family in my wallet
Got no I.D., no credit cards
I don't exist, I never have
I never have

Raised in the jungles I quickly learned to read the trees
Schooled in deserts I walk on shifting sands
Neutral shadows, unseen beneath a bed of leaves
I await the call, open frequency

To the square go
I want a square go! A square go!

My blood is ice, the temperature's rising
My soul's a glacier, I move alone
A pilgrim's progress in a shadow world
I learned to sit in silence with my sounds

I want a square go! A square go!

(spoken)
I'm tired of losing out
Being put down
I want to punch back
Fight back
I want to slash
I want a knife
I just wanna hit back in this world
One day I want level playing field
I just want to see the world
Fight the world on my terms
Want to fight back
My blood is ice, the temperature's rising
My soul's a glacier, I move alone
I move alone
Alone
Alone
				

Rain comes; delivered in the city, wash the feet of the angels at play
Waters graced with garlands of roses, Concha y Toro the fountains cry

I play the Prince; you play Ophelia, tragedies dance in the light of your eyes
Sauvignon Blanc toasting the sunset and a life in a tomb under a ceiling of stars
We lay back and gazed at the stars

Shadows crawl under the crater walls, Santiago, the Chilean dawn
High on dreams you feel you can touch the sky
I did believe that you could fly

All I could offer was miles de besos
A heart full of hope and the wings of a prayer
Storms gather high in the mountains
Somehow I know that you'll never arrive
You'll never fly
You'll never fly

All I could offer was miles de besos
A heart full of hope and the wings of a prayer
Storms gather high in the mountains
Somehow I know that you'll never arrive
You'll never fly
You'll never fly

Miles de besos
Did you think that it meant nothing to me
That when you disappeared I could walk away?

Did you know that you broke my heart and left a scar that never fades away

Miles de besos
				

He struggles to the breakfast table, still hung-over, hardly able
To come to terms with Monday's new demands
To activate the microwave, to reheat Friday's take away
The cafetiere to muster up some coffee from the grains
He lights the next last cigarette and promises himself
As he retches in the sink, to change his ways
He dreams inside the sun
Of Zoë, from London, 25

She's foetal on the foldaway, staring at the laundry in the corner
That she should have done the night before
Listening to her flat mate singing Stones' songs in the shower
She hopes she leaves hot water when the bathroom's finally free
Where she cries into the mirror and smudges her mascara
She's Zoë, from London, 25

When you're looking for somebody, you might not even see them
When they're standing there in front of you, right before your eyes
If you're looking for somebody you're gonna need some help
You know you'll never find her when you're looking for yourself

He races to the subway station, out of breath and out of options;
He couldn't make the phone call to explain himself away
He's locked in a reality that's taking time to sink in
Because he's lost inside a daydream his mind is occupied
He turns his back on everybody, on Zoë from London 25
When you're looking for somebody, you might not even see them
When they're standing there in front of you, right before your eyes
If you're looking for somebody you're gonna need some help
You know you'll never find her when you're looking for yourself

She clutches at the broken heel from tripping down the escalator
Chasing her white rabbit through the tunnels far below
Where she moves around invisible, to all concerned anonymous
A dream girl in a nightmare on a journey to the stars
She makes her journey to the stars

At the Micklegate, where you lost your way, and time stood still
At the Micklegate, with my heart in chains, the dream was killed
At the Micklegate, where you lost your way, and time stood still
				

Do you remember the magic of the moment
When forever was only words away
When we believed everything was certain
All we had to do was fulfill promises we'd made
Cherish hope between us and our dreams were always safe
We'd always be together and in that I had my faith
I put a ring upon your finger, that smile upon your face
And I told you, that I couldn't love you more
And we longed for the arc of the curve
We launched on the arc of the curve
We touched the stars

The fairytale, the breathless rush of romance
If love is blind then I will never see again
When we awoke the spell remained unbroken
Our souls entwined, in afterglow, you held my beating heart
Blew away my shadows, you kissed the tears from my eyes
And you told me that you couldn't love me more
We sailed for the arc of the curve
We flew on the arc of the curve
And touched the stars

The days are long, the nights are longer
In every minute there's a thought of you
I can't forget the magic of the moments
I stare into the mirror to pretend I'm not alone
It takes everything I have not to call you on the phone
Just to tell you that I couldn't love you more
That I'm lost on the arc of the curve
Careering on the arc of the curve
Crashing on the arc of the curve
I could never contemplate that you would ever walk away
				

The turtle and the scorpion, the riverbank the deal
To cross the open water they mutually agreed
Out there in the distance, the other side in sight
Banking on forever, holding on for life
I can see the other side
I want to see the other side

Somewhere in the middle the truth is hard to find
I'm running round in circles; I find I'm running blind
Praying for the distance, praying for more time
Running round in circles, running out of time

Manchmal, I often think of you
Manchmal, I want to see it through
Manchmal, I should feel something more inside
Manchmal, I want to reach the other side
I'm swimming, I'm swimming!

The point of grave decision, no turning back this time
No sense of reluctance, no doubt in my mind
Except that nagging feeling, the thought that it might fail
The bullet's in the chamber, the sting is in the tail

Manchmal, I only think of you
Manchmal, could we see it through?
Manchmal, there is something left inside?
Manchmal, my nature cannot hide!
I can see where we're going; I can see how you feel
I can sense you're going to leave me, I know you'll break the deal
I'll drown in my sorrows and I'll drink at your shrine, manchmal

Is that the way that you see it, tell me how it should be
It's time to choose between the devil and the deep blue see
Manchmal, Manchmal

Manchmal, there's something stirring deep inside
Manchmal, a chance to come alive
Manchmal, manchmal
It's time to choose between the open water and your dreams
Time you faced reality, time you faced your fears
Manchmal, it's different this time
Manchmal, manchmal, it'll be different this time
Manchmal, manchmal

Jedesmal
				

I'm running out of options, running out of road, got no sense of direction, sliding out of control
Going in search of nowhere, just some place to hide, from these omnipresent problems
I just can't hide from life

You set sail under cover of the darkness
By the early light I knew that you had gone
In search of new horizons, where the sky melts in the sea
I followed in the hope that I could catch you
And convince you our directions were the same
That we could steer the same journey across the oceans
Fly our flags together in a heaven full of stars
But you blew out the water the first chance that you had

If you want me, you know exactly where I am
Adrift in open water, I'm gazing at the stars I'll be gazing at the stars

I went down with all hands in the morning;
I was clinging to the wreckage of a dream
Praying for a rescue that I knew would never come
I watched your sails disappear into the distance;
I saw my life in the currents floating by
I was left to the mercy of the four winds and the tides
To carry me to shorelines where sea and sands collide

If you want me, you know exactly where I am, adrift in open water
I'll be gazing at the stars, I'll be gazing at the stars
You said more in the things you didn't say
I told you that I loved you and I meant it
We were heading for the rocks; we'd reached the point of no return
One day I will manage to forget you, one day I will get you out of my mind
Delete the photographs, the images, the numbers on the phone
The messages you sent me that I held on for so long

If you want me, you know exactly where I am, sailing open waters
I'll be gazing at the stars, I'll be gazing at the stars
				

A naked man, across the lawn
Ghosts of morning walk a carpet of tears
Croquet balls, scattered moons
Drowning sorrows on a sea of green

The fairy falls with broken wings
I'll hold it close to me and then let it fly
Another dream, another you
Shattered, splintered shards explode in the blue

An open door, an empty drive
No kitchen drama, no final goodbye
You're making out, it's all my fault
All you're looking for is sympathy
You thrive on grief, on tragedy
You paint the pictures you want them to see

I'm just a dark star, inhabiting a silent void
I'm spinning in the darkness, orbiting a universe
I want to be a meteor, I want to travel at the speed of light
Another dead star, silhouette against a pale moon
I want to crash into another world

That's how it was, or how you saw it
You never talked, you never listened
I beg to differ, I choose to disagree
You wanted out, I couldn't take it
You got no balls, and don't you know it
That's my opinion, you're making that clear
It's at an end, this thing is over
You led me on, tin pot poet
I write the words down that you don't want to see
I'm just a dark star, inhabiting a silent void
I'm spinning in the darkness, orbiting a universe
I want to be a meteor, I want to travel at the speed of light
Another dead star, silhouette against a pale moon
I'm in another world

It ain't easy, it's never going to be
It ain't no free ride, you don't get my sympathy
You should have realised, you had to compromise
It ain't easy, it's never going to be easy
				

This time last year I was in love, this time last year there was a dream
That was in motion that was oh so real

The sparks that danced within our eyes, and in our hearts there was a fire
That burned so brightly, we were so alive

We were going home, we were going home, going home

We had our stage, the scene was set, the passion play
Our roles were written, we had our destiny, our lives were meant to be
We were going home, we were going home, we were going home

The promises, the tender touch, we made our love, we kissed with open eyes
You took me by surprise; you hurt me so deep inside, how could you then decide
That you're going home. You're going home

And all this time I wonder why, you walked away, just what I'd done
Before I knew it you had disappeared, without a word, you stole my dream
You stole my dream, I'm going home

If the angels flew from heaven, if God just walked away
If we found out no one's listening to our never ending prayers
If the sea just keeps on rising will it drown the funeral pyres
Would it bring us back together, do you think we'd see the light?
Where in the world, where in the world, do we go from here?
Where in the world do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?
Where in the world do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?

If I could tear away the darkness, pull the stars out of the skies
If I could just convince you that everything was right
If you could only see our future and forgive me for the past
Do you think that we could make it, do you think our love would last?

So where in the world, where in the world, do I go from here?
Do we go from here?
Where in the world, where in the world do I go from here?
Where in the world?
				

With a heart full of sky, your eyes full of moon, I left you dying, I heard you cry
Just a fool to myself, there could be nobody else, I was lying
To even think I could survive without your love, I can't deny it

Then you showed me the way, and I will follow
To the end of my days; I will follow
You show me the way. To the thirteenth star

There's point in your life, you got to reach and when you do
You know it, and now I'm here
If I held out my heart and offered my hand would you take it
If I show you the way, so will you follow?
To the end of your days, will you follow?
Let me take you away
Would you follow the thirteenth star?

There's point in your life, you got to reach and when you do
You know it, and now I'm here
If I held out my heart and offered my hand would you take it
Let me show you the way, will you follow?
Will you follow the thirteenth star?

I will follow the thirteenth star
