catholic – Lyrics

All the song lyrics for Gavin Friday‘s album ‘catholic‘.

Able

Don’t tell me you love me, I can feel your rage

Green eyes burning fatal, like a cat in a cage

You lie like a baby, licking your wound

The silence is deadly and our love is doomed

I wanna be able, to hold my own, to breathe without drowning, to find a home,

I want you to love me, don’t want you to lie.

Its all up for the taking, it’s the road to ruin

And there’s no hearts breaking, no song out of tune

You look for attention, you sometimes cry

I even love when you hate me, Oh baby you’re strange

I wanna be able, to tell you my name, to laugh without trying, to know no shame,

Touch without feeling, feeling your pain, feeling your pain, feeling…

In my life / and my soul, my little life / deep inside, way inside / now I know

I know I know I know…

Don’t stop, keep up, walk talk, fall down, break up, life and love

Hiding and cold waiting for the dawn…

A Godsend, love a landslide, something inside, I can’t let go…

I wanna be able, to find my own, I want you to love me, if you don’t you can lie.

Lie like a lover, don’t wanna be alone, I wanna be able… I wanna be able…

…to find my own, …to find my own… to find my own… I wanna be Able…

…I wanna be able… Able

 

Land On The Moon

Land on the moon… Land on the moon

If we close our eyes… it wont make it go away?

If we scream inside… It wont make it go away?

Come on Come on… Take my Hand…

Don’t let it make you cry, it can’t be all that bad

If we kneel and pray… will it make it a better day?

If we stay behind… they’ll never let us leave?

If we pull at the sky… touch the stars above?

If we jump from the earth… do you think we’ll land on the moon?

Come on Come on… Take my Hand…

Don’t let it make you cry, it can’t be all that bad

We’ll jump from the earth… Fly up in the sky

{Land on the Moon… Land on the Moon…}

Away from this world… and Land on the Moon

When we close our eyes… Do we sleep at night?

When we say goodbye… Are we running away?

Lets jump from the earth, I think we’ll Land on the Moon?

Where are we?

Come on Come on… Where are we?

Come on Come on… Where are we?

We‘ll jump from the earth… Fly up in the sky

{Land on the Moon… Land on the Moon…}

Away from this world… and Land on the Moon

Higher than high, way up in the sky, the moon is calling you and I

Sometimes the world is messing us up, sometimes the world is not enough

Come on Come on… Land on the Moon… Come on Come on…

Come on Come on… Land on the Moon… Come on Come on…

…We’ll Land on the moon

 

A Song That Hurts

No angels sing of deceit…

Is this a thought inside or just a song that hurts?

Another broken year, so full of bitter tears..

There’s something I can’t hide, it’s something you deny

So stop your dragging me around, stop your pulling me, down

A song that hurts, a love’s distain, a silent wound, a sad refrain

The blood, the cross, my Love, your Head, your lips, your kiss, the words we said

I stay awake all night… You stay away all day…

Is this a thought inside or just a song that hurts?

Another broken year, so full of bitter tears

There’s something I can’t hide, it’s something you deny…

I know no fear of love, you know no love of man

A song that hurts, a love’s distain, a silent wound, a sad refrain

The blood, the cross, my Love, your head, your lips, your kiss, the words we said

So thin the line between love and loving…

 

The Only One

You got the kindness of strangers, the trust of true friends

I’ll promise you nothing, you’re burning both ends

Your heart’s wish is vacant, your love’s up for sale

A sweet smell so fragant, it’s pulling my tail

We don’t notice a thing… We don’t notice each other

A touch soft on your tongue… And we’re kissing forever

All the heat in your empire is hitting you hard

And the blood in your veins is not where you are

So lets dance in slow tempo, bad memory erased

By the finger of Buddha, healing all that are crazed

We don’t notice a thing… We don’t notice each other

A touch soft on your tongue… and we’re kissing forever

I’m turning blue… You don’t see…

I look to God and you… You look to me… to me

We don’t notice a thing… We don’t notice each other

A touch soft on your tongue… and we’re kissing forever

You are, you are, the only one for me… You are, you are, the only one for me

You are, you are, the only one for me… You are, you are, the only one for me

The only one for me…

 

Blame

Once I was young, then I grew up

From the greylight to the bluelight to the daylight, have I grown up at all?

I love my mother, my friends and brothers, I even loved myfFather

{ I love you I love you I love you I love you }

…And that says a lot…

But when the silence comes… the silence comes… the silence comes,

…sometimes stays too long

It slits the throat, it cuts the throat of where I belong

and the night goes so slow, it always does when you’re feelin’ low

and all the words unspoken, like the hearts left broken

{ I love you I love you I love you }

Am I to blame?

{ I love you I love you I love you }

Am I to blame?

{I love you I love you I love you}

When all the seeds we’ve reaped and sown away from here and close to home

…like spirits have flown…

No one’s to blame.

 

The Sun & The Moon & The Stars

We crossed the line so many times

Something makes it feel not right

Something tells me somethings wrong

Break the mould so many changes

But I can’t see in your head

So I hold you in my arms instead

Into… Where you are… Into… You

The Sun and The Moon and the Stars

Keep holding on don’t let it go

It not because I don’t love you no more

It’s just we’re drifting for the shore

Here they come the highs and lows

No one knows where our love goes

And no one knows they make us strong

Into… Where you are… Into… You

The curtains torn, the sweat is borne

These days drag on and on…

Still our feet dance a lover’s trance

We drag it on and on…

I’ll give you whatever…

The Sun and the Moon and the Stars

The Sun shines so brightly

The Moon holds us tightly

The Stars guide us rightly

Through the light of the night

And the dark of the day

Don’t turn our world away

The Sun and the Moon

The Sun and The Moon

The Sun and The Moon and The Stars

The Sun and The Moon

The Sun and The Moon

The Sun and The Moon and The Stars

Into where you are… Into where you are…

 

It’s All Ahead Of you

And now the evening’s falling, it’s crawling deadly on its hands and knees

You’re waiting for your nightmare baby, not for me

Did you know, I believed in you when you didn’t in me?

Did you know, the best is yet to come?

It’s all ahead, if you want it…

It’s all behind you, if you can let it go

Now now never no more everything’s gonna be alright

Still you’re knocking at my door saying ‘Baby, please’

Did you know, I think about you when you don’t about me?

Did you know, the best is yet to come?

It’s all ahead of you, if you want it…

It’s all behind you, if you can let it go

That’s all I gotta give, if you want it?

Do you want it? It’s all ahead of you, its all behind you if you can let it go

If you can let it go, if you can let it go,

…Will you let me know… if you want it?

The truth is stolen, broken, dead but not forgotten

Your bad lips lie all the time, even when they smile

It’s all ahead of you, if you want it.

It’s all behind you, if you can let it go.

It’s all ahead of you, if you want it… if you want it …if you need it…

As the clock goes tick tick tockin’… stealing all our time, stealing all our time.

It’s all ahead of you.

 

Perfume

La Da Da, La Da Da

By the way of conclusion I saw that nothing was there

So amongst the confusion I go get me a beer

Cha Cha Cha Cha – Paolo Conte / Cha Cha Cha Cha – Padre Pio

Stop the lights we play truth or dare

She awaitin’ to kill me a wantin’ to snare

Cha Cha Cha Cha –Mea Culpa / Cha Cha Cha Cha – Paolo Conte

I Know, What I like, I Know… Know… La Da Da, La Da Da… Perfume

By the look in her eyes you could see the surprise

The intent is not cruel me a bendin’ the rule

Cha Cha Cha Cha – Dolorosa / Cha Cha Cha Cha – Padre Pio

Here the men get to choose so she falls off the chair

Her engines are burning and waiting to flare

Cha Cha Cha Cha – Mea Culpa / Cha Cha Cha Cha – Paolo Conte

I know, what I like , I know …know… La Da Da, La Da Da…

From these dizzy heights, tonight’s the night

She slips her tongue inside my head

I know my guilt, I never lie

Betrayal takes more than two

The heart melts, the lips hot, a sad sigh, the sweet smell of… you

I know what I like… I know… know… La Da Da, La Da Da, Da Da

In the Church of love we kneel and pray

Holy! Holy!

Oh! Valentine! Valentine!

I touched his bones in a place near home

La Da Da, La Da Da… Da Da… Da Da

The sin is hell, the kiss and tell.

The sweet smell of …perfume

Perfume… Mea Mea Culpa Via Dolorosa

Perfume… Mea Mea Culpa Via Dolorosa

 

Epilogue

The best is yet … is yet to come

The best is yet … is yet to … yet to come … to come

The best is yet … is yet to come

 

Where’d Ya Go? Gone

Where’d ya go? Gone. Where’d ya go? Gone. Where’d ya go? Gone. Gone. Gone…

Where’d ya go? Gone. Where’d ya go? Gone. Where’d ya go? Gone. Gone. Gone…

Moanin’ cause I love you, baby baby come home… I know what I want…

You left me here on tenterhooks, you left me here alone

Hurtin’ bad, I’m hurtin’ I’m hurting to the bone

Where’d ya go? Gone. Where’d ya go? Gone. Where’d ya go? Gone. Gone. Gone…

Where’d ya go? Gone. Where’d ya go? Gone. Where’d ya go? Gone. Gone. Gone…

Moanin’ moanin’ forever, baby baby you’re gone… don’t know what I want…

Inside your tinderbox, the aftertaste, the bitter pill,

Green eyes lie… ’I love you’

There’s no perfect state of known innocence, if only love could remain unbroken.

Yeah… like a firefly… don’t do that no more… hurtin’ hurtin’ hurtin’

Counterfeit after counterfeit, everything is fake

Counterfeit after counterfeit, for the heart not to break

I’m moving… I’m moving…

Counterfeit after counterfeit for the heart not to break

I’m moving… I’m moving… Away… Away… from the heartache

…from the heartache

Away… away… away…

 

Lord I’m Comin’

I think I fell in love you smile alone like a drunken drug has gone and left me

Lord I’m comin’…

I think I sold my soul to what to who I still don’t know

My world is broken, my world is broken

And all the big mistakes who knows who’s right who cares who’s wrong

Lord I’m comin’… Oh Lord I’m comin’

I never knew the sound the sound of fear till I hit the ground

And I’m dying… Lord I’m dying

The little things in life the way you talk the way you smile

And I miss you… you know I miss you…

I think I fell in love but now the hurt the hurt is gone

And I’m homeless… Lord I’m homeless

I don’t know how to feel I don’t know what to say or do

And I’m coming… Lord I’m coming…

A whisper in my ear… all the things disappear…

I think I fell in love but now I know I’ve forgotten how

Lord I’m coming… Lord I’m coming
