Bells for Her (Live) [Hammersmith Apollo, 04/06/05]

[Verse 1]

And through the life force and there goes her friend

On her Nishiki, it’s out of time

And through the portal they can make amends

Hey, would you say, "Whatever, we’re blanket friends"?

[Chorus]

Can’t stop what’s coming

Can’t stop what’s on its way

[Verse 2]

And through the walls they made their mud pies

"I’ve got your mind," I said, she said, "I’ve your voice"

I said, "You don’t need my voice, girl, you have your own"

But you never thought it was enough of

[Verse 3]

So they went years and years

Like sisters, blanket

Blanket girls always there through, through that and this

"There’s nothing we cannot ever fix," I said

[Chorus]

Can’t stop what’s coming

Can’t stop what’s on its way

Hey, can’t stop what’s coming

Can’t stop what’s on its way

[Verse 4]

Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls

Brothers and lovers she and I were

Now she seems to be sand under his shoes

There’s nothing I can do

[Chorus]

Can’t stop what’s coming

Can’t stop what’s on its way

Can’t stop what’s coming

Can’t stop what’s on its way

[Verse 5]

And now I speak to you, are you in there

You have her face and her eyes, but you are not her

And we go at each other like blankets

Who can’t find their thread and they're bare

[Chorus]

Can’t, can't stop loving you

Can't stop loving

Can’t stop what is on its way

And I see it coming

And it’s on its way
