    there are some bits that just don't flow like they should...but some other bits that are perfect...

    also...is it just my cd thats crappy...or during what is he thinking does it go silent and you have to rewind it to get it to work again...

    THE STREETS LYRICS

    Dry Your Eyes


    In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round
    I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground
    Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down
    World feels like it's caved in - proper sorry frown
    Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us
    I can change and I can grow or we could adjust
    The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
    We can even have an open relationship, if you must
    I look at her she stares almost straight back at me
    But her eyes glaze over like she's lookin' straight through me
    Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
    When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet

    Dry your eyes mate
    I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
    There's plenty more fish in the sea
    Dry your eyes mate
    I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
    But you've got to walk away now
    It's over

    So then I move my hand up from down by my side
    It's shakin', my life is crashin' before my eyes
    Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies
    Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh
    'Cause I can't imagine my life without you and me
    There's things I can't imagine doin', things I can't imagine seein'
    It weren't supposed to be easy, surely
    Please, please, I beg you please
    She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested
    She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with
    She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures
    By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers

    Dry your eyes mate
    I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
    There's plenty more fish in the sea
    Dry your eyes mate
    I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
    But you've got to walk away now
    It's over

    And I'm just standin' there, I can't say a word
    'Cause everythin's just gone
    I've got nothin'
    Absolutely nothin'

    Tryin' to pull her close out of bare desperation
    Put my arms around her tryin' to change what she's sayin'
    Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in
    Look into her eyes to make her listen again
    I'm not gonna fuckin', just fuckin' leave it all now
    'Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow
    And you're gonna let our things simply crash and fall down
    You're well out of order now, this is well out of town
    She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist
    Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight
    Turns around so she's now got her back to my face
    Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away

    Dry your eyes mate
    I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
    There's plenty more fish in the sea
    Dry your eyes mate
    I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
    But you've got to walk away now
    It's over

    I know in the past I've found it hard to say
    Tellin' you things, but not tellin' straight
    But the more I pull on your hand and say
    The more you pull away

    Dry your eyes mate
    I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
    There's plenty more fish in the sea
    Dry your eyes mate
    I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
    But you've got to walk away now.

    I just hope he does not end up like http://www.euronet.nl/users/sjaak/Madness/Suggs/Suggshome.html

    That would be a shame.

    i never realised that the lyrics were so beautiful.... they're really down to earth and hold an AWFU lot of truth!! Especially the part where it says 'The more i pull the more she pulls away.'

    I especialy like the last song on the album and find it both inspirational and a nice way to wrap the album up

    shitty keyboards might be great..

    well done for learning all you know on a yamaha keyboard.

    when i was younger yamaha keyboard demos were bloody dreadful , to be fair just before i left school the 'next generation' came along they were alright..

    What i realy meant was that the music was unoriginal and soulless..... Q:why did i not say that in the first place A: I wish i had ..... :)
