I'll give anyone a music note badge who can either find them or type them in for me.

"Second one's even more acoustic, she's got a great voice, this should be easy!"
Dish - Headlights (1995)
Walking down this narrow road, we'll never go,
I'll never see your face,
Walking up some empty street, we'll never meet,
I'll never find the place,
In between what might have been, I'm glad that you're not here,
And all my sorrow, all my sadness,
Should disappear,
And then I...
(Chorus:)
...catch you in my headlights,
Or dream you in the dark,
See your face before me,
A city in the clouds...
Walking down the highway, the birch in rows,
Ghostly regiment,
I can hear you tell the story, predatory,
I avert my glance,
Time stands still, I'll find my will,
Until then it's not clear,
The veil has dropped, the curtain's lifted,
And you're not here.
And then I...
(Chorus)
Time stands still, I'll find my will,
Until then it's not clear,
But all my sorrow, all my sadness,
Should disappear,
(Chorus)
And then I catch you in my headlights,
Or dream you in the dark,
See your face before me,
A city in the clouds...
- Dish - Headlights (1995)
I think I'm pretty close on most of these. Going with "birch" over "birds" with the whole road/forest theme, and sorrow/sadness, although I'm still not 100% sure about "should" disappear. Doesn't seem to be the sort of song that fits in with sorrow or sadness disappearing, to say the least...
The first track... I'm gonna need some help on.

I'm very curious to know what you've made of it so far...
I've tried enhancing the vocals, but it didn't quite work out. The only lines I can make out are the first one ("You were so far away") and the chorus! The rest doesn't seem to make any sense at all. Maybe we can work on it together.

I have this so far, at the start.
"You were so far away"
"You were different to me"

That's about as much as I can make out as well, but like I said: it doesn't seem to make much sense.
There's also a part that goes:
How many times have you told me what's right?
Will you just harden your face and wallow?
(at least that's what it sounds like to me)

thanks for the firs one Foo Bar, I just gave you a note, and one for warped for helping Henk with the second one.
This is what I can figure out on the other one, but it's probably going to need to be a group effort 'cuz it still looks pretty wrong to me... "dis con faced?"
You were so far away
You were different to me
Keep me hanging out the window of the lift?
Here we go so awake
Cracking everytime time you spoke
You can fold me like
A picture that I broke
How many times have you told me what's right?
Will you? Just harden your face and wallow.
I will. I will. I will. I will.
You were so much today
Kissing every gorgeous throat
Bringing life into ones you've led astray
Did I say fire's are bright
On the faces again
Burning cheers as you fall into the fright
How many times have you told me what's right?
Will you? Just harden your face and wallow.
I will. I will. I will. I will.

You did some good work on that first one, Chuck.
I have added my edits in bold, a second opinion is needed of course in this group effort
You were so far away

Withered old soul awake
Cracking everytime time you spoke
You can fell in love

Didn’t I say fire's are bright
About the faces again
Burning shields as you fall into the ground

fairly sure the last bit is
Justice don't phase, will you?
If you watch the video he definitely makes a 'f' shape with his lops rather than the 'pl' needed if the word was please

some more good guesses in there... I have a FLAC rip of this from a compilation, so maybe it's different than the video or easier to hear some stuff.
I just ordered the album from amazon (cheaper for the whole album than it was for the single). It claims to come with the complete packaging, so hopefully they have a lyrics sheet. It's about the only hope I have for getting it right I bet.

The last bit before "I will, I will" might be "Justice don't faze".

I thought it might be something like "just harden face, will you" since it was in the previous chorus, but it doesn't sound like that when I listen to it

I gave it a couple of days and I'll take another stab at it from my notes. So far I'm with ChuckyG and warped on most, except for...
crackign every time you spoke
You can ???
the picture that I broke (could be "A", could be "The", got nothing on the three preceding syllables)
...
You want so much today
Kissing every gorgeous throat
Breathing life into the ones you've led astray
Did I say the ? fire ? got nothing ?
About the faces again
Burning (?2 syllables?) as you fall ("you're fallin?") into ?new friends?
Justice don’t (phase/faze), will you? (And none of those make much sense either. Nor do they make sense with "with you" instead of "will you". Ack.)
Upon re-reading, I think the only thing I've got any confidence in is the line "breathing life into the ones you've led astray" Something about inspiration or CPR, and I'm lacking the former and hopefully a ways away from needing the latter. This one's a tough one for me too.

For the ??? after the "You can" (at about the 0:40 mark) Sounds almost like "You can vandalize the picture that I broke" Sounds like "vandalize", but not 100% sure.

I wouldn't have guessed "vandalize" without your suggestion. I can hear it if I think about it as I listen. I'm still not convinced. Although I still have no idea what those three syllables are, it doesn't make much sense. If a picture's already been broken, it's pretty hard to vandalize it.
Let me back up a bit - I may have one line a bit further back. How 'bout this?
You were so far away
You were different to me
"keep me hanging out the window of belief"

Here they are as they are printed in the linear notes for the CD (got it in the mail today)
You were so far away
You were different to me
Keep me hanging out the window of belief
Leery though sorely weak
Cracking everytime you spoke
Looking fairly like a picture that I broke
How many times have you told me what's right?
Will you stay out of my way if I run out of here?
Will you? Just harden your face and wallow.
I will. I will. I will. I will.
You bought so much today
Kissing every gorgeous throat
Breathing life into ones you've led astray
Been as safe as a brain pounding faces again
Hurting cheaters as you fall into new friends

Hey, even they got one wrong; the line never appears in the song.
I've seen this type of error before, and always wondered why they happen. Do they sing it two or three times in the studio, and only keep one version, possibly with a line or two removed/added? Or are these like the fake/nonexistent locations that appear on GPS maps so that anyone who copies the GPS database copies the error and reveals the source of the copy?
Well, we all got the "I will" part right . "High fives all around!" :D
Yeah, it took me two days to get "Breathing life into the ones you've led astray," in retrospect "just stay stonefaced" is "obviously" correct... and yet none of the three of us (or anyone else who tried and didn't post) heard it. Were it not for the liner notes, I wonder how many years it would have taken for us, or for someone else, to stumble over it and fill in all the blanks. (We might have gotten "hurting cheaters", but it would have been a long time before anyone guessed "Been as safe as a brain, pounding faces again..." :)

There's definitely lines that I never would have got right - but I can always blame my limited knowledge of the English language.
I'm proud I got the "wallow" part right.

I doubt if English were your first language you'd have gotten them either... the vocalist needs some dictation lessons or something
