Beautiful Day

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground
But there''s no room, no space to rent in this town
You''re out of luck and the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you''re not moving anywhere.
You thought youad found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It''s a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it''s a beautiful day
Itas a beautiful day
Donat let it get away

Youare on the road but youave got no destination
Youare in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if it doesnat ring true
Youave been all over and itas been all over you

It''s a beautiful day
Donat let it get away
It''s a beautiful day
Donat let it get away

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, I know Iam not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
A beautiful day
Donat let it get away

Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know IAm not a hopeless case

What you donat have you donat need it now
What you donat know you can feel it somehow
What you donat have you donat need it now
You donat need it now, you donat need it now
Beautiful day

The Fly

It''s no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It''s no secret that our world is in darkness tonight.
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by the moon
Y'' know I don''t see you when she walks in the room.

It''s no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help.
It''s no secret that a liar won''t believe anyone else.
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I''m telling you, child.

Voice 1 Voice 2
A man will beg Love, we shine like a
A man will crawl Burning star
On the sheer face of love We''re falling from
Like a fly on a wall The sky... tonight
It''s no secret at all

It''s no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest.
It''s no secret ambition bites the nails of success.
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief;
All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief.

Voice 1 Voice 2
A man will rise Love, we shine like a
A man will fall Burning star
From the sheer face of love We''re falling from
like a fly from a wall. The sky... tonight
It''s no secret at all.

Love, we shine like a burning star
We''re falling from the sky tonight

A man will rise Love, we shine like a
A man will fall Burning star

It''s no secret at all.

It''s no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding ''cos-a one man''s lie.
Look I gotta go, yeah, I''m running outta change;
There''s a lot of things if I could I''d rearrange.

A Man and a Woman

Little sister donat you worry about a thing today
Take the heat from the sun
Little sister
I know that everything is not ok
But youare like honey on my tongue

True love never can be rent
But only true love can keep beauty innocent

I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
No I could never take a chance
aCos I could never understand
The mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

You can run from love
And if itas really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you canat be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
How can I hurt when Iam holding you?

I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

And youare the one, thereas no-one else
You make me want to lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

Brown eyed girl across the street
On rue Saint Divine
I thought this is the one for me
But she was already mine
You were already minea

Little sister
Iave been sleeping in the street again
Like a stray dog
Little sister
Iave been trying to feel complete again
But youare gone and so is God

The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wantsa the soul waits a

No I could never take a chance
On losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

For love and sex and faith and fear
And all the things that keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

How can I hurt when Iam holding you?

Love Is Blindness

Love is blindness, I don''t want to see
Won''t you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my heart, love is blindness.

In a parked car, in a crowded street
You see your love made complete.
Thread is ripping, the knot is slipping
Love is blindness.

Love is clockworks and cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel.
Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle
Love is blindness.

Love is blindness, I don''t want to see
Won''t you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love,
Blindness.

A little death without mourning
No call and no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense.

Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets, and no one to tell.
Take the money, honey...
Blindness.

Love is blindness, I don''t want to see
Won''t you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love,
Blindness.

Grace

Grace, she takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name

Grace, it''s the name for a girl
It''s also a thought that changed the world
And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything

Grace, she''s got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She''s got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma
She travels outside of karma
When she goes to work
You can hear her strings
Grace finds beauty in everything

Grace, she carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition

What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

Grace makes beauty out of ugly things
