Ian McCulloch - The Flickering Wall

In my world, my little world

Life lies upon the floor

The wind blows in and out again

Through windows and through doors

And it's there I'll look

And it's there I'll find

What it was I started after

When I mistook what I had in mind

For something made to matter

I heard the footsteps in the street

I saw the lights on the flickering wall

I moved my lips but I couldn't speak

Choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder of it all

In my dreams, recurring dreams

But I was never there

Life is still invisible

Just needing to be where

With any luck I might just find

What it was I started after

When I undertook what I had in mind

When everything mattered

When I saw the gods up in the sky

I saw the lights on the flickering wall

I saw the world through hazel eyes

And choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder of it all

I heard the footsteps in the street

I saw the lights on the flickering wall

I moved my lips but I couldn't speak

Choked on the wonder of it all

When I saw the gods up in the sky

I saw the lights on the flickering wall

I saw the world through hazel eyes

And choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder

Choked on the wonder

Choked on the wonder of it all

Ian McCulloch - Faith And Healing

Everyone was running scared
Someone talked and someone heard
The twisted end to all the words
That I'd hung on to
One more time inside the dream
Where nothing has to be this real
And I don't ever care to feel
What I don't want to

You once said I thought too much
But never thought enough to touch
Eyes so sad, evergreen
The saddest eyes I've ever seen

Lost all reason and belonging
Can't do right for doing wrong and
I don't like the way I'm feeling
Need your faith healing
Healing, healing, healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing

Pick me up and hold me there
Leave me hanging in the air
Till I promise I will care
The way I used to
Diamonds in the pool tonight
Reminds me of what nights were like
Before I feel into a life
That I got used to

The shining sea the silver sky
A perfect world before my eyes
Don't be scared don't you cry
If all the world goes passing by

Lost all reason and belonging
Can't do right for doing wrong and
I don't like the way I'm feeling
Need your faith healing
Healing, healing, healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing

You once said I thought too much
But never thought enough to touch

Lost all reason and belonging
Can't do right for doing wrong and
I don't like the way I'm feeling
Need your faith faith and healing

Lost all reason and belonging
Can't do right for doing wrong and
I don't like the way I'm feeling
Need your faith healing
Healing healing healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing

Ian McCulloch feat. Elizabeth Fraser - Candleland

Get your handful of remembrance
For you to sprinkle through your life
In between the penance
That you carry by your side
With the make belief and miracles
That only come alive

In Candleland, Candleland

Wear your guilt like skin
And keep your sins disguised
Take some salt and sugar
And rub it in your eyes
You'll know that somethings left you
Just as you arrive

In Candleland, Candleland

I walked back inside me
I'd gone back for my youth
As I came down the fire escape
It must have stayed up on the roof
They say you just know
And that knowing is the proof

Of Candleland, Candleland

Candleland (candle)...

Candle, candle, Candleland

Ian McCulloch - Proud To Fall

Here you come again
Acting like a saviour
There you go again
Talking like a stranger
You said we all must learn to face
What we're becoming
And then I saw you in the distance
Off and running

But from start to finish
I was proud to fall
And I fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all

Looks like rain again
Feels like it's rained forever
Can't remember when
Don't remember whether
I ever really told you who I was
It must have been because because
Because

From start to finish
I was proud to fall
And I fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all

I fell between the bruises
And the red curtain call
I prayed you'd light the fuses
And we'd burn and torch it all

Long day's journey into
Long night's journey out
Knee-deep, so deep within you
I kept and keep without

You said we all must learn to face
What we're becoming
And then I saw you in the mirror
Off and running

But from start to finish...
