Faith & Healing (Lyrics) Everyone was running scared Someone talked and someone heard The twisted end to all the words That I'd hung on to One more time inside the dream Where nothing has to be this real And I don't ever have to feel What I don't want to You once said I thought too much But never thought enough to touch Eyes so sad Evergreen The saddest eyes I've ever seen Lost all reason and belonging Can't do right for doing wrong and I don't like the way I'm feeling Need your faith healing healing healing Faith and healing... Pick me up and hold me there Leave me hanging in the air 'Til I promise I will care The way I used to Diamonds in the pool tonight Reminds me of what nights were like Before I fell into a life That I got used to The shining sea, the silver sky A perfect world before my eyes Don't be scared, don't you cry If all the world goes passing by Lost all reason and belonging Can't do right for doing wrong and I don't like the way I'm feeling Need your faith, faith and healing Faith and healing... You once said I thought too much But never thought enough to touch

TOAD (Lyrics) Feeling strange and unsure In the place where I'm standing Feeling stained and impure And I'm frightened of landing Tie a flag on my head Take a walk on a moonbeam Just forget what she said She doesn't know what she means Five fingers and four divisions That was all I ever counted Love provided with all provisions That was all I ever wanted No escape from the truth No return from the deep Just a failure in faith And a hunch in a heap Stop the light coming in Tell the day not to break Let the night draw me in And the walls not to shake Call out the fire engines Let's go down in a blaze of glory Turn all the hosepipes on and Bring in the hanging jury Hang 'em high We're cleaning the city now...
