Considering that English is not my native language, I must give songs a listen while reading the lyrics, as I don’t/can’t understand some of the words by just listening to them, so after a couple of times I listen to the albums while reading the lyrics, then I understand what Davey is singing. If that makes any sense.

I’ve sent the following lyrics to many English speaking friends who have returned them to me for corrections, so these are perfect. Feel free to use them for your iPod and feel free to send them to other websites that have wrong lyrics.

Cold War

Did we have an understanding? Maybe I don’t understand. All I know is that I feel so… I feel so… Had I known I’d kept it all from you. Had I only known you’d want him too. Did we have an understanding? Maybe I don’t understand. I foresaw no part of this so I am screaming in between collapsing, crumbling as I try to stand. In my pretty fantasy, I’m running at you with a gun in my hand. Let the jury seethe. Let the hammer fall. Let your pitiful pleas mean nothing at all. How dare you? I cannot believe what I’ve heard, it’s absurd. He’s prettier than you! How dare you!? What’s worse is that I saw him first. Am I cursed? I’ll never forgive you. How dare you? I cannot believe what I’ve heard, it’s absurd. He’s prettier than you! How dare you!? What’s worse is that I saw him first. Am I cursed? I’ll never forgive you. I’ll never forgive you. I’ll never forgive you. I’ll never forgive you. What’s worse is that I saw him first.

Fade to White

Deny that you ever knew. I’m not gonna give the end away. No. We cannot escape the sunrise. Deny that you ever knew that it would surely end this way, oh. Love will not outlast the sunrise. Come away from there that prose is far too deep. Dawn and daylight come to edge us towards the meek. This our opening. Be grand but do not speak, no, for it is the closing night and this we cannot, we cannot repeat. This is the way to become a star -just follow the desperate soul who trades in the flesh. I’d have done the same if someone had let me know. Deny that you ever knew. I’m not gonna give the end away. No. We cannot escape the sunrise. Come away from there we don’t know what’s inside. All that we once were may have found a place to hide. You blush like the ingénue but I have seen you lead so, all that is done tonight, of this we cannot, we cannot speak. So don’t say another word. Deny that you ever knew. I’m not gonna give the end away. No. We cannot escape the sunrise. We cannot escape. We cannot escape. Oh, we cannot escape… Don’t be afraid to ask but any vows we make will never stand a chance. They’ll break before the day. Deny that you ever knew. I’m not gonna give the end away. No. We cannot escape the sunrise. Deny that you ever knew. I’m not gonna give the end away. No. We cannot escape the sunrise. Deny that you ever knew. I’m not gonna give the end away. We cannot escape the sunrise.

Faith Healer

You’re stumbling like the nazarene. You’ve cast your gaze too high. The rapture you seek is found below and it’s been denied. You’re stunning, just like a philistine. You’re wasting precious time. Shake of that chill of heaven and come rest your weary eyes. You’ve been wandering, searching for him forever. Just take some respite here and if he shows we’ll talk to him together. Oh, don’t you know? If you come down, down, down, I know a little sin to which we can aspire. Oh, don’t you know? When you come down, down, down, just crawl back in your skin and it will take you higher. You’re a vision. If you could see yourself through my enlightened eyes you’d pull yourself from fantasy and wrap yourself in life. You’ve been suffering, bound to him forever. We’ll have your release here and when we go we’ll take his name. Oh, don’t you know? If you come down, down, down, I know a little sin to which we can aspire. Oh, don’t you know? When you come down, down, down, just crawl back in your skin and it will take you higher. Does he ever speak to you like I do? Does he ever speak to you? Does he ever speak to you like I do? Does he ever speak to you? Does he ever feel the way that I feel? How does he feel? Oh, don’t you know? If you come down, down, down, I know a little sin to which we can aspire. Oh, don’t you know? When you come down, down, down, just crawl back in your skin and it will take you higher. Oh, don’t you know? If you come down, down, down, down, down, down. Oh, don’t you know? When you come down, down, down, just crawl back in your skin and it will take you.

Deconstructing Gods

Deconstructing gods, somehow I came across you. When the lights went out I fell beside you. There’s a pretty trick I pray someone has taught you. If you leave me crushed I’ll crawl to find you. Love comes quickly and I’m indisposed. And what I can’t describe is what I want the most. Love’s so sickening and I’m indisposed. And what I can’t describe is what I want the most. Love comes quickly and I’m indisposed. And what I can’t describe is all I wanted. Feeling freezes so I know it must be time to leave you dear. Everything’s warm when your heart grows cold. Feeling freezes when I know you want me. It’s time to leave you here. Everything’s warm when your heart grows cold. Everything’s warm when your heart grows cold. Everything’s warm. Shining like a god, you descended with me but when I lit your sky I saw too clearly. I could see your tears and as you wept to heal me they consumed my own and drowned your beauty. Love comes quickly and I’m indisposed and what I can’t describe is what I want the most. Love’s so sickening and I’m indisposed and what you can’t provide is all I wanted. Feeling freezes so I know it must be time to leave you dear. Everything’s warm when your heart grows cold. Feeling freezes when I know you want me. It’s time to leave you here. Everything’s warm when your heart grows cold. Everything’s warm when your heart grows cold. Everything’s warm. When I know you want me. When I know you want me. Everything’s cold when I know you want me. When I know you want me. When I know you want me. And I know you want me. Feeling freezes so I know it must be time to leave you dear. Everything’s warm when your heart grows cold. Feeling freezes when I know you want me. It’s time to leave you here. Everything’s warm when your heart grows cold. Feeling freezes so I know it must be time to leave you dear. Everything’s warm when your heart grows cold. Feeling freezes when I know you want me. It’s time to leave you dear. Everything’s warm when your heart grows cold. Everything’s warm. Everything’s warm. Everything’s warm when your heart grows cold. Everything’s warm. Everything’s warm when your hearts grows cold. Everything’s warm.

Everybody’s Friends

He left today. He said for me to call you. You said, “Come over right away.” Demanded. “Don’t you take all day. Because I’ve been waiting for you. I hope that you don’t mind. I’m lookin’ like a valentine. We can be so discreet. When the act is black you’ll remember me. We can be so discreet – living fiction. With me you’ll be fiction.” I spoke his name. You asked me, “Do I bore you?” “Twice as much as an earthquake,” I explained. “Just unlock your hands and I will place them for you,” you promised. “You’ll be fine. I’ve done this more than a thousand times. We can be so discreet. When the act is black you’ll remember me. We can be so discreet – living fiction. No one would ever dream, with the lights up high, that you’d choke my scream. We can be so discreet – living fiction.” I should leave here all alone. I should leave here all alone. I should leave here all alone. We can be so discreet. When the act is black you’ll remember me. We can be so discreet – living fiction. No one would ever dream, with the lights up high, that you’d choke my scream. We can be so discreet – living fiction, fiction. We can be so discreet. When the act is black you’ll remember me. We can be so discreet – living fiction, fiction. No one would ever dream, with the lights up high, that you’d choke my scream. We can be so discreet – living fiction, fiction. We can be so discreet. When the act is black you’ll remember me. We can be so discreet – living fiction.

Let’s Be Honest

Think about it – what brought you here? If we just keep our mouths shut maybe no one will hear. Talk about him but your intent is clear. Just say you’re pleased to meet me like I don’t know you. Go out of your way but I won’t mind. I’ll play your game. And every time you say his name just to remind you and I why you came. Talk, talk, talk about him, talk about him if you think it will help. We’ll just talk, talk, talk about him, talk about him if it helps you control yourself. I won’t question your innocence. I’ll swear upon mine with you until our guiltless end. Who’d deny you such a faithful friend – who would defend your name could he remember it? Say you should go but I don’t mind. I’ll show you the way. And every time you say his name just to remind you and I that you’re still here. Talk, talk, talk about him, talk about him if you think it will help. We’ll just talk, talk, talk about him, talk about him if it helps you control yourself. If it helps you control yourself. Control yourself. Control yourself. Control yourself. You can’t control yourself. You can’t control yourself. Talk, talk, talk about him, talk about him if you think it will help. We’ll just talk, talk, talk about him, talk about him if it helps you control. Talk, talk, talk about him, talk about him if you think it will help. We’ll just talk, talk, talk about him, talk about him if it helps you control yourself. Control yourself. Well you just control yourself. Control yourself. Well you just control yourself. Control yourself.

With Your Arms Around You

I see grace, raining gold. It descends as you fold under the pressure, under the beauty of it all. You were crushed just like me still you sway, gracefully. Cutting right through me, I feel your beauty as I see you endlessly longing for someone, from somewhere can show you how to care. When no one will join you, you must dance, we must dance a… You see gold in our past. You see we can’t outlast pervasive dilution of our perfection. Still you stand. With the gold raining down you glide back and I’ve found those moments of beauty. I feel you’re with me as I see you endlessly longing for someone, from somewhere can show you how to care. When no one will join you, you must dance alone. Feel the beauty of it all. See the beauty of it all. Feel the beauty of it all. You’ll find beauty when someone, from somewhere can show you how to care. When no one will join you, you must dance, we must dance a… Someone, from somewhere can show you how to care. When no one will join you, you must dance, you must dance alone. Someone, from somewhere can show you how to care. When no one will join you, you must dance, you must dance alone. Someone, from somewhere can show you how to care. When no one will join you, we must dance alone.

Bliss

Come to me as you sparkle, I would have you no other way. Come to me for the dark grows stronger as we wait. Forgive me but I’m drawn to those who let the rapture tear them away. Come to me for I made this moment eternity. When you find you are exposed to me. Cover up everything. Bathe us in bliss that you, you can never touch knowing that everything will fade as we rise to the rush. I’ve come to find you electric. You would draw me no other way. I’ve come to live for the lightning we generate without restraint. Forgive me but I’m drawn to those who share in sin before they embrace. Come to me for I made this moment just to your taste. When you find yourself exposed with me. Cover up everything. Bathe us in bliss that you, you can never touch knowing that everything will fade as we rise to the rush. Softly, quickly, give into the sweet persistence. This is only our beginning. I would gladly give myself with no resistance were the moment never-ending. Burning, quickly, give into the sweet persistence. This is only our beginning. I would gladly give myself with no resistance were the moment never-ending. Rise up to the rush now. Cover up everything. Bathe us in bliss that you, you can never touch knowing that everything will fade. We’ll fade. We fall. Cover up everything. Bathe us in bliss that you, you can never touch knowing that everything will fade as we rise to the rush.

Bon Voyeurs

Could I watch you dance or would you mind? If you gave it a chance I think you might find it thrilling. Oh, I find it’s such disgrace to never share that rapturous face so I’ll watch you dance and I will find it thrilling. Will you think of me or will you let me, let me see? Who cares who’s watching you and me? Who cares who’s watching you? Can I watch too? If they watched us dance, I wouldn’t mind. It just might enhance our lovely time. Oh, I. Oh, I find it’s such disgrace to never share our animal grace. Let’s give them a show that they might find alluring. Let them let us be, oh. Let them, let them, let them see! Who cares who’s watching you and me? Who cares who’s watching you? Let them see!, let them see! Who cares who’s watching you? Let them see!, let them see! Who cares who’s watching you? Can I watch? Can I watch too? Why? Why wait? Why wait ’til the theatre is empty? Why? Why wait? Why wait ’til, ’til the theatre is empty? Why wait? Why wait? Why wait ’til, ’til the theatre is empty? Oh! Who cares who’s watching you and me? Who cares who’s watching you? Let them see!, let them see! Who cares who’s watching you? Let them see!, let them see! Who cares who’s watching you? Can I watch too?

The Witness

Where is deliverance? Will you walk with, walk with me? Where is forgiveness? Lash the tide and it tames the sea. Give me deliverance from your history, talk of lies. Where is your witness? There isn’t. Hide your wings and we’ll take the sky. You will never feel so alive as you will on the day that you see that sacred ways set aflame can bring a new faith, oh. Smile tonight in this sacred light and you are looking like a new god. Smile tonight, for you have arrived. Arise and bring the heavens down. Who is the savior? You can walk this golden sea. For just this moment close your eyes and dive with me. Who needs forgiveness when we all speak fluent lies? Here is deliverance, you’re in it. Lose yourself and we’ll take the sky. You will never feel so alive as you will on the day that you see that sacred ways set aflame can bring a new faith, oh. Smile tonight in this sacred light and you are looking like a new god. Smile tonight, for you have arrived. Arise and bring the heavens down. I wanna hear you say this as your final confession, “I’ve never felt like this before.” I must admit, must say that I loved your final submission. Oh, you’ve never looked so good before. You’ve never looked so good before. Oh. Smile tonight in this sacred light and you are looking like a new god. Smile tonight, for you have arrived, have arrived, yeah. Smile tonight in this sacred light and you are looking like a new god. Smile tonight, for you have arrived. Arise and bring the heavens. Arise and bring the heavens down.

Would you like to come meet the wolves who love you? I know the alleys where they like to hide. Though, I just have to wonder what wing you think that you’re under. You haven’t got the years nor mind to fly. Little lover, you’re in trouble. You can’t try to, try to change their minds. You’re guilty of their crimes. Now you see why, as you fall forward I’m one step behind you. I know you have always wanted this so I let the children play. Now let this party start, put murder back in art.

You’re guilty of their crimes. Now you see why, as you fall forward I’m one step behind you. Oh, you’re so brave. Oh, you are so bold. So why, why wait? Use your youth before it gets old.

Ill-Lit Ships

They’re coming out to find you and they don’t even know your name. No matter what they tell you, you never will be clean again so lie to us and just say there’s never emotion in all that you give away. They’re coming out to find you and they won’t even ask your name but they will recognize you. Girls like you are all the same, so you say. This room is just for one night but they never will let you go. Just let them come inside and this never will let you go. No, it never will let you go. As you smile it hurts me so, that this never will let you go. Just what was looking for you? Do you like what they have found? Two nights are now behind you and you can’t even live one down. So smile at me and just say that it’s worth every breakdown though strange to not know, when you wake, who will be beside you. I’ll be the last to know your name. I’ll be the last to want to be seen with you in light of day. Didn’t you say, “This room is just for one night?” but they never will let you go. Just let them come inside and this never will let you go. No it never will let you go. As you smile it hurts me so. As you smile it hurts me. Oh, your smile it hurts me ’cause I still clearly can see who you were. How could you, how could let them buy you? How could you, how could let them buy you? How could you? Why did you let them? This room is just for one night but they never will let you go. Just let them come inside and you’ll never forget this. This room is just for one night but they never will let you go. Just close those hopeful eyes and this never will let you go. No, it never will let you go. As you smile it hurts me so. That this never will let you go. No, it never will let you.
