Just Like Heaven

by Robert Smith

'Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
'The one that makes me scream,' she said
'The one that makes me laugh,' she said
And threw her arms around my neck
'Show me how you do it, and I promise you
'I promise that I'll run away with you
'I'll run away with you'

Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
'Why are you so far away?' she said
'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
'That I'm in love with you?'

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

Telephone Line

by Jeff Lynne

Hello, how are you?
Have you been alright?
Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights
That's what I'd say
I'd tell you everything
If you'd pick up that telephone

Hey, how you feeling?
Are you still the same?
Don't you realize the things we did
Were all for real, not a dream?
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view

Blue days, black nights
I look into the sky
The love you need ain't going to see you through
And I wonder why
The little things you planned ain't coming true

Telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight

Ok, so no one's answering
Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer?
I'll just sit tight
Through shadows of the night
Let it ring forevermore
