Quarter Past Midnight (MTV Unplugged)

It's a quarter past midnight
As we cut through the city (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The streets are getting restless
Good times, bad decisions (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's a quarter past midnight
And the sirens are mending some hearts
But we're the losers on the back seats
Singing "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

It's a quarter past midnight
Still avoiding tomorrow
It's a quarter past midnight
But we're just getting going

We keep on running
Running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away, away, oh, away, away, oh, oh

This is my favourite part, oh
(Help me piece it all together, darling)
Before it falls apart, oh
(Help me piece it all together)

It's a quarter past midnight
And the speakers are blowing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
We want the bodies on the billboards
Not the lives underneath them (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And now we're crawling up the walls again
And it's a quarter past twelve
And you said we'd leave this place in dust
And fall from heaven straight through hell
We never know what we have
We never knew what we had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had

We keep on running
Running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away, away, oh, away, away, oh, oh
Why are we always chasing after something
Like we're trying to throw our lives away?
Away, away, oh, away, away, oh, oh

This is my favourite part, oh
(Help me piece it all together, darling)
Before it falls apart, oh
(Help me piece it all together)

(I can't remember)
(I can't remember)
(I can't remember)
(I can't remember)
It's a quarter past midnight (I can't remember)
And the secrets are flowing (I can't remember)
Our lips are getting looser (I can't remember)
I don't know what I'm saying (I can't remember)
We never knew what we have
I never know what I've had

Keep on running
Running through a red light
Like we're trying to burn the night away
Away, away, oh, away, away, away, away
Why are we always chasing after something
Like we're trying to throw our lives away?
Away, away, oh, away, away, oh, oh

This is my favourite part so
Help me piece it all together, darling
Before it falls apart, oh
Help me piece it all together darling

Won't you help me piece it all together darling
Won't you help me piece it all together
'Cause when I can't remember
When I can't remember
When
I can't remember
Won't you
Help me piece it all together darling

How you doing, Charlie Barnes?

Calming down

How you doing, Daniel Smith?

Pfft, didn't I
It's nice we have a back to everyone

Ahm, yeah, so as you would have noticed we've changed everything
Well, from now on, changed everything quite a lot
Ahm, Charlie Barnes put a lot of
A lot of hard work into these arrangements

And as you noticed, we're on the back of the stage
He's at the front of the middle
He finally got his way
Ahm, and obviously we also got loads of incredible musicians
In stage with us tonight

Right, let's play a song!
