where the wax melts on a candle
where the wax melts on a candle
there's nothing we can't handle
underpass and cut grass
fake weddings and empty hearts
families torn apart
you told me you 'd meet me there
with a blue ribbon in your hair
candy floss and lip gloss
cannot disguise what's been lost
but I'd walk all the way
wearing broken sandals
where the wax melts on a candle
traffic jams and broken prams
London to Birmingham
I'll hitch a ride side by side
upside down ,narrow or wide
just to be with you
gonna make it through
drunken nights and party lights
violent rambles and urban vandals
where the wax melts on a candle
where wax melts on a candle
it cools down and hardens up
like you and me it's outta luck
never believed in a easy buck
pop charts and empty hearts
stumble around in the dark
searching for that missing spark
but the wax has melted on the candle
and i ain't so sure
this is something i can handle

hatred's been here before
broken promises packed with lies
Russia acusing the world of being spies
hospitals dirty and damp
ain't it time for a revamp
poverty and dispaire
desperation hangs in the air
birds catching man made flu
seems like every things gone askew
chorus
walking thro the carnage corridoor
easy too see that
hatred's been here before
don't know why we're fighting anymore
cos hatred's been here before
a world of sorrow beyond repair
forgotton vows and silent prayer
love fades and turns to rust
truth lies beneath the dust
they peddle misery and call it news
can't blame the kids for being confused
as we feed of there anxiety
in our civilised society
chorus
walking thro the carnage corridoor
easy too see that
hatred's been here before
don't know why we're fighting anymore
cos hatred's been here before
