Ghosts – Hold On Lyrics 18 years ago
I really love this song, I think it captures the frustration of being in a relationship (or having been in a relationship) with a partner whose actions and behaviour are destructive to it, and who never learns from the mistakes they've made. The person's trying desperately to salvage what they have left in the relationship and asking the partner to do the same (hence the 'hold on, hold on, hold on) because they don't want things to fall apart worse than they already have.

Just a lyric edit: In the second verse, the first 'chains' is meant to be 'trains' (could have sworn I'd written it right when I typed it up originally)!

Ghosts – Musical Chairs Lyrics 18 years ago
After listening to the album version, I realised that the first verse is actually:

Did you miss it enough
To make up for both of us?
Did you take it apart
Just to show me how it worked?

Ghosts – The World Is Outside Lyrics 18 years ago
The lyrics are nearly right. This is what we came up with on the forum:

Where’d our sense of adventure go?
We sit at home
With dinner on a tray
The world is outside
Do you remember how it used to be?
At seventeen, we’ve never been the same
Forgotten our lines

She said
We could do anything
We can do anything

Oh, open your eyes
The world is outside your door
Oh, don’t tell me a story if you don’t have one

The last Monday in January is apparently
The worst day of the year
Maybe they’re right
But I don’t even know what day it is
I’m tired of this, wish we were kids again
With time on our side

She said
We could do anything
We can do anything

Oh, open your eyes
The world is outside your door
Oh, you’re kidding yourself, ’cause everything else is old
Oh, open your eyes
The world is outside your door
Oh, don’t tell me a story if you don’t have one

Oh, oh, (etc)

Oh, open your eyes
The world is outside your door
Oh, you’re kidding yourself, ’cause everything else is old
Oh, you’re taking your time, the world is outside your door
Oh, don’t tell me a story if you don’t have one

This song really helps when you're stuck indoors, it basically tells you to go outside and do something, because it's so much more interesting than staying in!
