    This House Is Empty Now

    (Elvis Costello / Burt Bacharach)

    These rooms play tricks upon you
    Remember when they were always filled with laughter
    But now they're quite deserted
    They seem to just echo voices raised in anger
    Maybe you will see my face
    Reflected there on the pane
    In the window up above for long
    In broken home

    Yet this house is empty now
    There's nothing I can do
    To make you want to stay
    So tell me how am I supposed to live without you

    These walls were lined with pictures
    Remember the glass we charged in celebration
    But now I fill my life up
    With all that I can to deaden this sensation
    Do you recognize the face
    Fixed in that fine silver frame
    Were you really so unhappy there
    You never said

    So this house is empty now
    There's nothing I can do to make you want to stay
    So tell me how am I supposed to live without you

    Oh, if I could just become forgetful
    When night seems endless
    Does the extinguished candle care
    About the darkness

    It's funny how the memory
    Will bring you so close then make you disappear
    Meanwhile all our friends must choose
    Who they will favour, who they will lose
    Hang the garland high, or close the door
    Or throw away the key

    This house is empty now
    There's no one living here
    You have to care about
    This house is empty now
    There's nothing I can do
    To make you want to stay
    So tell me how am I supposed to live without you

    This house is empty now
    This house is empty now
    There's nothing I can do
    This house is empty now
    This house is empty now

    "Hang"-especially the first stanza:(

    She grabs her magazines
    She packs her things and she goes
    She leaves the pictures hanging on the wall, she burns all
    Her notes and she knows, she's been here too few years
    To feel this old

    He smokes his cigarette, he stays outside 'till it's gone
    If anybody ever had a heart, he wouldn't be alone
    He knows, she's been here too few years, to be gone

    And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
    But if there's nothing there to make things change
    If it's the same for you I'll just hang

    The trouble understand, is she got reasons he don't
    Funny how he couldn't see at all, 'til she grabbed up her coat
    And she goes, she's been here too few years to take it all in stride
    But still it's much too long, to let hurt go (you let her go)
    And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
    But if there's nothing there to make things change
    If it's the same for you I'll just hang
    The same for you
    I'll always hang
    Well I always say, it would be good to go away
    But if things don't work out like we think
    And there's nothing there to ease this ache
    But if there's nothing there to make things change
    If it's the same for you, I'll just hang

    More good ones!

    Thank you Prins not only for "I Will Love Again", (which made me cry), but for the suggestion to play it everyday. I am going to take your advice!

    For No One

    Your day breaks Your mind aches
    You find that all her words of kindness linger on
    when she no longer needs you
    She wakes up She makes up
    She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
    She no longer needs you.

    And in her eyes you see nothing
    No sign of love behind the tears
    cried For No One
    A love that should have lasted years.
    You want her You need her
    And yet you don't believe her when she says
    her love is dead you think she needs you
    And in her eyes you see nothing
    No sign of love behind the tears
    cried For No One
    A love that should have lasted years.

    You stay home She goes out
    She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
    she doesn't need him
    Your day breaks Your mind aches
    There will be times when all the things you said
    will fill your head you won't forget her
    And in her eyes you see nothing
    No sign of love behind the tears
    cried For No One
    A love that should have lasted years.

    Shakespears Sister - Stay

    if this world is wearing thin
    and you're thinking of escape
    i'll go anywhere with you
    just wrap me up in chains
    but if you try to go alone
    don't think i'll understand

    stay with me, stay with me

    in the silence of your room
    in the darkness of your dreams
    you must only think of me
    there can be no in between
    when pride is on the floor
    i'll make you beg for more

    you'd better hope and pray
    that you'll be safe
    back in your own world
    you'd better hope and pray
    that you'll wake one day
    in your own world
    'cause when you sleep at night
    they dont hear your cries
    in your own world
    only time can tell if you
    can break the spell
    back in your own world

    stay with me, stay with me
    stay with me, stay with me
