Is it asking too much to be given time,
To know these songs and to sing them? Is it asking too much of my vacant smile, And my laugh and lies that bring them? But as the stars are going out, And this stage is full of nothing, And the friends have all but gone, For my life, my God, I'm singing. We'll take our hearts outside, Leave our lives behind, And watch the stars go out. We'll take our hearts outside, Leave our lives behind, And watch the stars go out. Is it asking too much of my favourite friends, To take these songs for real? Is it asking too much of my partner's hands, To take these songs for real? But as the stars are going out, And this stage is full of nothing, And the friends have all but gone, For my life, my God, I'm singing. We'll take our hearts outside, Leave our lives behind, And watch the stars go out. We'll take our hearts outside, Leave our lives behind, And watch the stars go out. We'll take our hearts outside.. We'll take our hearts outside, Leave our lives behind, And watch the stars go out. We'll take our hearts outside, Leave our lives behind, And watch the stars go out. We'll take our hearts outside, Leave our lives behind, And watch the stars go out. We'll take our hearts outside, Leave our lives behind, And watch the stars go out. And watch the stars go out. And watch the stars go out |

In time the stakes will change
even persistination couldn't stay I don't mind I don't mind I'll be around anywhere any place you want me I'll be around anywhere any time I'm free In time this place is mine you know the inspiration in my smile I don't mind I don't mind Leave it all behind I don't mind |

It's alright, I'm just a girl she said
talk down to me & take me to bed I don't think I don't feel & I don't really matter at all Kiss me in darkness turn out the light pretend you're with someone else tonight you don't think you don't feel & I don't really understand why I'm a person who speaks I'm a person who thinks but you hope I'll forget as you ply me with drinks & you cannot buy me & you cannot use me but I know that you'll want to try... It's alright, I'm just a girl she said you can't buy me & take me to bed because I think because I feel & you don't matter at all Just a girl she said |

Walking home from work tonight
Your letter warm, I'm holding tight Said you want to see me soon I phoned you late this afternoon The bar we first met seems alive I'll see you there at eight tonight Shouldn't think like this But is there something in us meeting now? All this time, I've waited knowing Though I've changed my heart's still showing I'll wear a new dress, wash my clothes I'll wear the earrings that you chose If the man you've grown to be Is more Morrison than Morrisey I'll tell you straight as we undress That things got better when you left & though I've banned your name since then I'll call it with my dying breath No-one else would have me So I've made this day of all days The day I see you again Will you know me, will I cry Will the years that passed decide that Even we who loved & lied Shouldn't meet again tonight |

The wind′s whistling
My mind′s twisting I was making myself the usual cup of tea When the doorbell strangely rang Because I′ve been up here for a while I′m starting to feel the monotony of the tower block I′m not so manic now I can uphold the weight of those neighbours And she′s lifting and throwing to the wall The post-natal harmonies of youth When this younger man, twenty-five Advantageously took away her pride The wind′s whistling My mind′s twisting I was making myself the usual cup of tea When the doorbell strangely rang I staggered shaking slowly to the door Through the frosted panel I could see you Your intentions as a salesman truly cush You endeavoured as a psycho just to push And whilst lifting and throwing to the wall My puny structure of an ageing OAP No reason why you chose my flat Breathing deeply in a trance The wind′s whistling My mind′s twisting I was making myself the usual cup of tea When the doorbell strangely rang I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) I′m not so manic now (not so manic now) Because I′ve been up here for a while I′m starting to feel the monotony of the tower block I′m not so manic now I can uphold the weight of those neighbours And she′s lifting and throwing to the wall The post-natal harmonies of youth When this younger man, twenty-five Advantageously took away her pride I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now I′m not so manic now I′m not so manic now Not so manic now |

dorian puts on a smile & he's out tonight
dorian always forgetting what's out of sight Every other weekend he's around in there Old enough to know that he could die but too young to care dorian puts on a smile & says I'm ok dorian felt alright but I couldn't say Collectively we give our trust so foolishly I never even bothered who was around before me dorian puts on a smile for my sister now There's no hate in me for that but I don't know how Collectively we give our trust so foolishly I never even bothered who was around before me dorian puts on a smile on his old face now dorian realising he's had it now... for good |

Hello my dear friend
your reputation quite true These are thoughts I've held on & saved inside for you I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever Maybe it's been two years it could be three you know it's hard to recall I was younger I thought it was me maybe you were someone else then too I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever It's the same old thing You know I said it from the start that living together is something you do married is something you are now... I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever & even after all this I writing to you now to be reminded of it all Darling can you hear me do you understand our best decisions so often were unplanned I remember... couldn't trust you once, not ever not ever... not ever... not ever |

Thinking back now
I suppose you were just stating your views What was it all for? for the weather or the battle of agincourt & the times that we all hoped would last like a train they have gone by so fast & though we stood together at the edge of the platform we were not moved by them With my own hands when I make love to your memory It's not the same I miss the thunder, I miss the rain & the fact that you don't understand casts a shadow over this land but the sun still shines from behind it... Thanks all the same but I cannot bring myself to answer your letters It's not your fault but your honesty touches me like a fire The polaroids that keep us together will surely fade away like the love that we spoke of forever ..on st. swithin's day |

I know why you came
this time that we've borrowed imagine us now talking tomorrow We're not very big but we're certainly clever to go on together well... what makes sense now? disgraceful... will we ever say no? It's wine that we feel that drives us together this hormonal vision that won't last forever We're old enough now & we should know better to go on together well... what makes sense now disgraceful... will we ever say no? This match that I'm burning two people still looking for something else |
