1. COVER MY EYES

Cover my eyes
The light falls on her face
Dangerous lines
Dangerous colours & shapes
Ferocious designs
Connected and ready to play
Buttoned up tight
Crimson and halloween white

She’s like the girl in the movie when the spitfire falls
Like the girl in the picture that he couldn’t afford
She’s like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward
Like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors

Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven

The meaning of life
A hair falls out of place
Cover my eyes
Dangerous colours and shapes
And when she moves
Cover my eyes

She’s like the girl on the t.v. with the red guitar
Like the girl with the dealer at the end of the bar
She’s like the girl with the smile in the dream in the dark
Like the girl overtaking in the open car

Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven

Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven

Cover my eyes
The light falls on her face
Dangerous lines
Dangerous colours & shapes
Ferocious designs




2. HOW CAN IT HURT

Maybe you're just too upset inside to give it to me straight.
Maybe you've become too angry and too close to crying,
To say anything I can understand,
Or Maybe you're just coming in over my head.
Maybe you're just too upset inside,
You're too upset inside.

How can it hurt if I don't understand?
How can it hurt if I don't understand?
How can it hurt if I don't understand?
How can it hurt if I don't understand?

How can it hurt?
You're never going to square with me I know so what is there to say?
When there's a million words that we could share at night, why do you walk away?
And I could write you off and it's over with.
Like a damaged car I can't afford to fix.
But everything inside me wants to heal your pain.
You won't explain, you won't explain.

How can it hurt if I don't understand?
How can it hurt if I don't understand?
How can it hurt if I don't understand?
How can I help if I don't understand?

How can it hurt?
How can it hurt?
When I don't understand.
When I don't understand.
Tell me
How can it hurt
When I don't understand?
