Nothing Can Bring Me Down

Written in late 1990 and subsequently released on the "Songs Of Love Live" album recorded at the Borderline in London on January 17th 1991. The version on the album wasn't actually recorded at the show but a few days later in a back room at the Demon Records offices.
It was later rewritten as "
What Godzilla Said When His Name Wasn't Found When His Name Wasn't Found In The Book Of Life" and released on 1993's "Mercury".
I saw your face fall
into a well-worn groove
A child starts out playing a role
and now it's typecast in every move

You take cold comfort in their touch
They leave you laughing high and dry
With nothing left to feel
And no real tears left to cry

What could come around
What could make a difference to me now
What could come around
What could bring me down

Half concious what do you see
Is it some kind of second sight
Let a black web settle over your world
As picked up by a pair of headlights

You let it take hold of your soul
Postcard of a moonrise
Is it more evil to lose track of your heart
Or to go on as before

What could come around
What could make a difference to me now
What could come around
What could bring me down

You warm up to any touch
Though indifferent flesh becomes cold
You didn't think it would mean all that much
Until a meaning started to take hold

A house of cards takes a deep breath
And breathes it out word for word
The hopes and dreams
That justice left unheard

What could come around
What could make a difference to me now
What could come around
What could bring me down
