Laying in the silence
Waiting for the sirens
Signs, any signs Im alive still
I dont wanna lose it
Im not getting through this
Hey, should I pray? Should I pray?
To myself? To a God?
To a saviour who can
Unbreak the broken
Unsay these spoken words
Find hope in the hopeless
Pull me out of the train wreck
Unburn the ashes
Unchain the reactions, Im not ready to die, not yet
Pull me out of the train wreck
Pull me out, pull me out, pull me out
Pull me out, pull me out
Underneath our bad blood
We still got a sanctum, home
Still a home, still a home here
Its not too late to build it back
Cause a one-in-a-million chance
Is still a chance, still a chance
And I would take those odds
Unbreak the broken
Unsay these spoken words
Find hope in the hopeless
Pull me out of the train wreck
Unburn the ashes
Unchain the reactions, Im not ready to die, not yet
Pull me out the train wreck
Pull me out, pull me out, pull me out
Pull me out, pull me out, pull me out
You can say what you like cause see, I would die for you
I, Im down on my knees and I need you to be my God
Be my help, be a saviour who can
Unbreak the broken
Unsay these reckless words (find hope in the hopeless)
Pull me out of the train wreck
Unburn the ashes
Unchain the reactions, Im not ready to die, not yet
Pull me out of the train wreck
Pull me out, pull me out, pull me out
Pull me out, pull me out, pull me out

Lyrics
Punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet?
When in this charming car
This charming man
Why pamper lifes complexity
When the leather runs smooth
On the passengers seat?
I would go out tonight
But I havent got a stitch to wear
This man said «its gruesome
That someone so handsome should care»
Ah! A jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said «return the ring»
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
I would go out tonight
But I havent got a stitch to wear
This man said «its gruesome
That someone so handsome should care»
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man
Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man
Ah! A jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said «return the ring»
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
This great song by «Chris Rea» was first released in 1986 as a non album single, but it was not until 1988 that it got to number 53 in the UK singles chart, and it re entered the UK charts in 2007 where this time it made it to number 33. i think this is a great song and should have been a number 1 hit..While i am here i would like to take this Opportunity in wishing all my friends and subscribers a Happy Christmas and the best of luck and good health for the coming new year… Carl www.instagram.com/carlthebritinthephilippines/?hl=en
