Sit down my love of all good spaces 

and breathe my love let's all be spent 

i'm going to tell you both a story 

about some memories that i dreamt 



see i've lost love in many places 

not least the streets of san paolo 

and friends especially, i didn't make them 

a ten floor window to her home 

sometimes i could cry for miles 

sometimes i could cry for miles 

sometimes i could cry for miles 

but i don't 



so hush the shadows in the oak tree 

be still you curl upon the moor 

my heart has fallen upon the wayside 

i cannot claim her anymore 

so don your duffel coats quite slowly 

and this sad jury has ajurned 

while on the streets of old san paolo 

i watch my baby being burned 



sometimes i could cry for miles 

sometimes i could cry for miles 

sometimes i could cry for miles 

but i don't 



sometimes i could cry ah sometimes 

drop my bags and run for miles 

and sometimes i could live my life 

but i wont, but i won't 



have you ever been thrown across the water 

have you ever been thrown across the water 

have you ever been thrown across the water 

till there's no skin left on your bones 



thrown across water 

thrown across water 

thrown across water 

like a stone 



get me a doctor 

get me a doctor 

who will get rid of my bones 



get me a lover 

get me a lover 

who will leave my head alone 



get me a soldier 

get me a soldier 

who will fight me in this war 



get me an exit 

i need an exit 

i need a window or door 



thrown across water 

thrown across water 

thrown across water 

like a stone 



get me a lawyer 

get me a lawyer 

who will sue the world for me 



get me a person 

get me a person 

get me a person 

who isn't me 



cuz i'm getting tired 

i'm getting tired 

of my stupid little face 



cuz i don't belong here 

i don't belong here 

don't belong in this horse race 



thrown across water 

thrown across water 

thrown across water 

like a stone
