—— You Need To Run

— the Nigel Keswick and Evalyn Carter Playlist

- 20 tracks, with links

flowers are right, they live in the light

the base of a stone makes a wonderful home

mountains are pure, they’re never unsure

their rocks are so old that they’ve never been sold

those teenage hopes with tears in their eyes

too scared to run after one little lie

oh, uh-oh you’re changing your heart

oh, uh-oh you know who you are

take this sinking boat and point it home

we’ve still got time

raise your hopeful voice, you have the choice

you made it mine

i’m running away with you

that’s all i ever do

and that’s all we ever mean

i forgive you, of everything

how do you love in a house without feelings

how do you turn what was savage tame

i’ve been looking for someone to believe in

to love me, again and again

i’ll go braving everything, with you swallowing the shine of the sun

i’ll go braving everything, through the shine of the sun

but i won’t be no runaway, ‘cause i won’t run

you were a kindness when i was a stranger

but i wouldn’t ask for what i didn’t need

everything’s weird and we’re always in danger

why would you shatter someone like me

so, take my hand

and take my whole life, too

‘cause i can’t help falling in love with you

i just want to show you what i know

and catch you when the current lets you go

or should i just get along with myself, i never did get along with everybody else

i’ve been trying hard to do what’s right, but you know i could stay here all night

the good old days, the honest man

the restless heart, the promise land

a subtle kiss that no one sees, a broken wrist and a big trapeze 

oh well, i don’t mind if you don’t mind

‘cause i don’t shine if you don’t shine

can we climb this mountain? i don’t know

higher now than ever before

i know we can make it if we take it slow

she liked to take a drink, i liked her when she did

her face would come alive, her words would all be right

full of fun and fire

and we are all born

helpless and frail

and don’t forget that you

you will rule the world

girl, carry on

i know you’re strong enough without me

and i’d break my neck to take each step with you

so don’t be scared

i must become the lionhearted girl

ready for a fight

before i make the final sacrifice

‘cause i confide in wolves at night

well, have you seen my baby girl? she’s lonely, so lonely

‘cause i confide in wolves at night

we’re all just virgins loosing a child, so lonely

if we live this way it’ll all fall down

only fire can go replace his crown

so hey, hey, hey, hey now

how many of you kids are scared of death?

i got a burning in my body core, it’s a yearning that i can’t ignore

and i gotta go out tonight-

‘hey johnny i got faith in you man, it’s gonna be alright’

and he’s convinced himself right in his brain

that it helps to take away the pain
