LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
My beliefs they slipped away from me, left me with nothing but this mist
Of grey anxiety, clenching my mind up like a fist
And i felt no strength then to deal with all the consequences
In no position then to look for independence
CHORUS:
But then the beauty of the world revealed itself to me
And that most beautiful of girls declared her love for me
And i found the strength to carry on
VERSE 2:
A maze of insecurity kept all the world out of my view
So far from true reality, i doubted everything i knew
With no sense of identity – thoughts, dreams and feelings merged as one
Was not who i’d pretend to be, but then i looked up at the sun
(CHORUS)
MIDDLE:
I woke up in a prison cell of plastic, glass and flesh
Travelling through a dream of lambs and mist
I broke free in the centre of this multi-layered city
And found you blind and bleary when we kissed
Dirty Ruby shine, light a fire in my cold, dark soul
Dirty Ruby shine, melt the cracks in my heart to make me whole again
My friend, I never thought that I’d feel whole again (X2)
You tried to give me all the things you thought I’d want to see
And do the things you thought I wanted done
But the very fact you even chose to speak to me at all
Gave me more joy than any prize I’d ever won
Dirty Ruby shine, light a fire in my cold, dark soul
Dirty Ruby shine, melt the cracks in my heart to make me whole
Dirty Ruby shine on and on and on and on
Dirty Ruby shine on and on again
LAST CHORUS
The beauty of the world revealed itself to me
And that most beautiful of girls declared her love for me
And yet still she doesn’t know because I cannot find the words
Or the right images to show how all about her that I’ve heard
Has given me the strength to carry on
