The End
04:28
|
|

Her eyes are blue
Her hair is grey
I think about her night & day
My love won't last forever, no
But nothing does
that's how it goes
I don't want lovers
I don't need friends
I don't want family I
Just want her til the end
But that's not "The End"
Her lips are red
Her legs are shaved
I'm trying not to misbehave
She loves me like her maiden aunt
And I will love her til I can't
I don't want lovers
I don't want friends
I don't want family I
Just want her til the end
And that's not "The End"
I don't want lovers
I don't want friends
I don't want family who
will leave me in the end
And that's not "The End"
That's not "The End"

Summerskin
02:57

First fill a bag
Then tie a knot
hold underwater
until it all stops
Don't tell a soul
Bury the lot
That's how you do it
And how you forgot
Summer skin is slow to heal
What's the worst that you could feel?
[instrumental]
Undo my hope
Unbreak the lock
That's how we do it
How you awoke
Outside your bones
Summer skin is slow to heal
What's the worst that you could feel?
And maybe none of this is real
What's the worst that you could feel?
Unbreak my heart
Unwreck my fleet
Here underwater
My life is complete

Promises of love and comfort
Promises of love
Don't take them in - those words from a poisoner
Don't take him home - he's worse than the other ones
And it doesn't take long to hurt you
And it doesn't take long to cry
Promise me - that you understand
Promise me - please don't trust that man
Promises of love and comfort
Promises of love
Don't take me home
I'm just like the other ones
Don't take me home
we're all the same
Promise me - that you understand
Promise me - please don't trust that man
Promise me - that you understand
Promise me - please don't trust that man
don't hold his
don't you trust that
man you'll never
land

He's coming home - memory unwinds
Between white lines
They lead him home - but he's in two minds
Try to be kind
Lonely Nights - if by your lonely lights
You don't see anybody
cry don't feel any pain
You won't ever regret
again
He's nearly here - tries to fight his eyes
The longest ride
He'll sleep tonight - so open the door wide
dragged in by the tide
Lonely Nights - if by your lovely lights
Take me away in time
And now he's home
Never recognised
Lonely
Lonely Nights - if by your lovely lights
if by your
Lonely Nights - if by your lonely lights
Lonely Lights

A Slight Case of Love
02:43
|
|
||
It started with a little chill
I didn't know that I was ill
I soldiered on with everything
But I was carrying
There was a snuffle and a sneeze
I started aching in my knees
I always knew what I would do
Cos I would suffer for you
I'm just a man
With a slight case of love
It's nothing grand
Cos I'm big, strong and tough
That love was sold as something new
That love was never gonna do
That love was all I wanna see
Cos I'm a lonely body
I'm just a man
With a slight case of love
I have no plan
See addenda above
I'm just a man in love

DEATH ROCK Music

Oh Suzi, I hope you're gonna be okay
But maybe you're never gonna be the same
When you play that record backwards
Rotten hands punch up in backyards
In your sleepy little neighbourhood
DEATH ROCK MUSIC
You don't choose it
DEATH ROCK MUSIC uh-huh
yeah, worth dyin' for
Check outside - they're bursting from the garden soil
Those dead kids with blood as black as engine oil
When they rise their heads start bopping
Then their fingers will start popping
They just wanna move their shakin' bones to
DEATH ROCK MUSIC
They won't lose it
DEATH ROCK MUSIC uh-huh
It's worth dyin' for
I see the light
[so low]
DEATH ROCK MUSIC
They won't lose it
DEATH ROCK MUSIC uh-huh
It's worth dyin' for
DEATH ROCK MUSIC
You don't choose it
DEATH ROCK MUSIC uh-huh
It's worth dyin' for

Some White Horses
02:59
|
|

I must have dreamt it
I woke and found that it was gone
It's true
Some white horses
Like to run
I would not choose it
But then what choice has anyone?
It's true that I know
nothing
Some white horses
Like to run
Some white horses

Trapped By The Tide
03:09
|
|
||
all that you know is the water is bitter
all that you see is the view from the shore
watching them messing about on the river
all of your hopes washed away in the thaw
trapped by the tide
trapped by the tide
the groom and the bride
are trapped by the tide
They're trapped by the tide
maybe you fall and the water will catch ya
maybe you fall and it swallows you whole
you'll never know the whole truth of the matter
maybe that's reason enough to stay home
trapped by the tide
trapped by the tide
the groom and the bride
are trapped by the tide
When the tide goes out
What's it all about
When the tide comes in
Maybe there's no sin
All that you see is a bend in the river
All that you want is a way to get home
trapped by the tide
trapped by the tide
baked, boiled or fried
we're trapped by the tide

Pine Trees
03:02
|
|
||
I rue the day
that I decided to be free
I walked outside
and breathed the air
but sunshine captured me
I like this world
but it's indifferent to my plea
I needed something
to expose the rest of what you see
Pine
Pine trees for me
Don't try to say
that you were back here on your own
there's such. my lady
when they let you out to really roam
I pine trees for me

Leave Your Lover
03:36
|
|
||
This is how you leave your lover
This is how you sleep at night
"No," you say "it ain't that easy"
yet you can do it if you do it right
First you gotta pull your socks up
then you gonna make her cry
If it feels too cruel to do it
Think of all those times she hurt your pride
So just stand her up
Just stand her up
Just stand her up and wait for morning
If your lover is tenacious
maybe she'll come back to stay
Stay aloof there's nothin' to it
If you don't you'll always rue the day
So just stand her up
Just stand her up
Just stand her up and wait for morning
Yeah!
The next evening that you're s'posed to be together
This is how you take the trash out
This is where you go to hide
When she tells you
"Wasn't I your baby, baby?
Was I just your baby on the side?"
The next evening
So just stand her up
Just stand her up
Just stand her up and wait for morning
Yeah!
This is how you leave your lover

TIME
02:55
|
|

Time means a lot to me
everybody wants some
Time isn't what we see
Everybody's gone
Just a little more time
And then we're free
I'm counting sheep and they're countin me
Everybody's counting
But no one's here babe
to count on me
cos everybody's gone
Just a little more time and then you'll see
Just a little more time and then they'll set you free
Look at the time it is!
Look at the time it's going to be!
She's on the BBC
Everybody's flexin'
She don't mean much to me
What she gonna do?
Just a little more time and then they'll set you free
[earnest mumbling about boats]
Look at the time it is!
Look at the time it's going to be!
Why was I ever conceiving to be alone?

Wo wo wo Maybe I'm a one man band
Wo wo wo what's so hard to understand?
Wo wo wo We won't need no chaperone
Cos life is better when we're on our own
Leave me be! I don't wanna see the light
Can't you see? I'm a creature of the night
On my own - and that's how it's got to be
Sometimes misery hates company
Ah-ooh
Ivana B. Alone
And there's nothing you can say
Ah-ooh
Ivana B. Alone
I vanna be alone today
Ah-ooh
Ivana B. Alone
And there's nothing you can do
Ah-ooh
Ivana B. Alone
I vanna be alone with you
Sometimes I
(there's nothing you can do)
Change my mind
(there's nothing you can say)
Ask me why
(I'll ignore you anyway)
I'm afraid
(just stay out of my way)
No no no - somethin really isn't right
No no no - there's a watchin' satelite
Wo wo wo - now you've tracked me to my lair
You'll find me on the chaise longue in despair
Gonna be alone
In the morning
Gonna be alone
in the heat of the day
Gonna be alone
In the evening I'm burning for you
Gonna be alone
You can't keep me away
Ah-ooh
Ivana B. Alone
And there's nothing you can say to me
Ah-ooh
Ivana B. Alone
I vanna be alone in spite of me
Ah-ooh
Ivana B. Alone
And there's nothing you can do
Ah-ooh
Ivana B. Alone
I vanna be alone with you
Be alone with you
Be alone with you
Ivana B. Alone
Ah-ooh
I wanna be alone
but its the hardest thing I know
Ah-ooh
I wanna be alone
until you go

Listen here
What should I do?
Here's the chance
That I already blew
No one knows
No one alive
Try to poke
Sticky finger in your eye
Cos it's my life
Yes it's my life
Oh it's my life
To do with as the hell
I like
say a prayer
worry some more
Here's the red
creeping across your floor
Long ago
when I still cared
Tie a knot
close your eyes until you aint scared
Cos it's my life
Yes it's my life
Oh it's my life
To do with as the hell I like
It's my life
Yes it's my life
Oh it's my life
Well it's my life
Cos it's my life
Cos it's my life
Yes it's my life
Oh it's my life
To do with as the hell I like

Nobody knows what they're doing
Noone sees, where they're goin'
But I-e-I yeah I-e-I see you
Only on the outside
Nobody cares who they're hurting
Isn't that disconcerting?
But I-e-I yeah I-e-I hurt you
Why start looking in the mirror now?
Aint no reflection anyhow
Why start looking in the mirror now?
Nobody dreams any different
No-one seems like a dear friend
But you-oh-ooh yeah you-oh-ooh seem true
Nobody dares to be earnest
Even me, at my sternest
But you-oh-ooh yeah you-oh-ooh stay cool
Why start looking in the mirror now?
Aint no reflection anyhow
Why start looking in the mirror now?
Why start looking in the mirror now?
Why start looking in the mirror now?
Why start looking in the mirror now?
Everyone knows
Nobody shares
Everyone chose
Nobody cares
Everyone knows
Everyone knows
Everyone knows
Nobody shares
Everyone chose
Nobody cares
Everyone knows
Everyone knows
Are you looking in the mirror now?
Nobody knows what we're doing
Or what scenes we are showing
But you got me
Are you looking in the mirror now?
Nobody knows

Bless You (For Trying)
03:39
|
|

At first I guessed it was my accent
Or that my grammar was unsound
Then I guessed that I spoke much to quietly
Til I was warned I spoke too loud
So by and by it became self-evident
I knew I'd never be a resident
Bless you for trying
Bless you for finding things to say
Most people barely give the time of day
I tried to wear the fashions they wore
I learned to hold my Marlboro "so" every time you go
I heard the jokes and studied where the laugh lay
but when the punchline came they'd look away
I don't know why you ever did the things you did
I hope your patience isn't limited
Bless you for nothing
Bless you for trying every day
Most people people barely give the time of day
Bless you for trying
Bless you for finding things to say
Most people never give the time of day
These are my words
Though they're mainly for the birds
Bless you for trying every day

Circus
03:10

Since I was a young boy
I've had this same desire
It's burned in me like fire
Till nothing else remained
It has cost me friendships
Cos most just laugh right at me
The kindest smiled exactly
Like I was insane
So if you promise that you will not even smile
I want to run away and join the circus
Cos the circus life is just the life for me
I want to try and learn to walk the tightrope
and then swing acrobatically with ease
So perfect all the crowds are on their knees
I dream I'm ringmaster
The biggest big top circus
I would be so infamous
For my great sideshows
Wake up in the morning
Feeling tired and weary
Feeling so inferi-
-or to you my friends
So if you promise that you will not raise a smile
I want to run away and join the circus
Cos the circus life is just the life for me
I want to try and learn to walk the tightrope
and then swing acrobatically with ease
I want to try and be a lion tamer
and stun you with my big cat expertise
I want to run away and joint the circus
cos the circus life is just the life for me
The circus life is just the life for me
The circus life is just the life for me
The circus life is just the life for me
1, 2, 3, 4
Come on roll up
Come on roll up
I want to run away and join the circus
Cos the circus life is just the life for me
I want to try and learn to walk the tightrope
and then swing acrobatically with ease
I want to try and be a lion tamer
and stun you with my big cat expertise
I want to run away and join the circus
Cos the circus life is just the life for me
I want to run away and join the circus
Cos the circus life is just the life for me
I want to run away and join the circus
Cos the circus life is just the life for me
I want to run away and join the circus
Cos the circus life is just the life for me
