Does your appetite for novelty still burn?
And do you pick a fight just to feel the heat of his concern? Do you still misbehave, then beg for his reprieve? And do you love to feel his needy hands pulling at your sleeve? Don't you always fall in love again just before you leave? Do you still storm away, do you slap him just to see is he hits you back or backs away or panics, just like me? Don't you always fall in love again just before you leave? Don't you cry, 'cause you know that's the one thing he hates Don't you try to bend him until he breaks Like you broke me Do you still turn for a second into stone? And do you pepper him with petty threats of letting him alone? Don't you always fall in love again just before you leave? |

I've got cash and prizes more than a man could dream
I've got a hundred houses, some that I've never seen I've got walls of paintings high as the Hoover Dam I've got cash and prizes, but I don't know who I am I've got a thousand people act on my every word Point at the sky above me, and I own every bird I've got a wife who holds me in her diamond-studded hands I've got cash and prizes, but I don't know who I am I've got buildings, I've got planes That light the skyline with my name I am everywhere but here A colossus on the index, but touch the cancel key and I just disappear I've got cash and prizes 'cause I've got the stuff it takes I've got a Rolls-Royce running just 'cause I love the sound it makes But cash and prizes I guess is all that they can see |

Pat is the guy with the record shop
And John sells fruit but wants to be a cop And Paul deals speed in a Celtic top But I'm just a drunk in a band. Jo does tele-sales and martial arts And Gill pushes patients round the public parks And Nancy makes sculptures out of hoover parts But I'm just a drunk in a band. Danny puts the cones on the motorway And Donna dances tables in her lingerie And Gerry, Dave and Billy, man, they're puttin' on a play But I'm just a drunk in a band. I could be a soldier, I could drive a van, Guide rivers of pain into little red cans Walk rich men's dogs, bring 747s into land But I'm just a drunk in a band. |

One more last hurrah
One more fearless stand At some nightclub bar One more last hurrah Gonna kiss our friends And then crash our cars Crash our cars One more last hurrah Before we knuckle down and button up And figure out that fading out's The state that we've been looking for The state that we've been looking for Hold on, I wanna say "My life looks okay" Okay One more last hurrah Whatever else is waiting for us One last waste of time is all we're asking for All we're asking for One more last hurrah One more chance to forget Who our enemies are Hold on, I wanna say "My life looks okay My life looks okay" Okay One more just one more Last hurrah |

Buttons on My Clothes
I've been drinking all through summer I guess I've had a laugh I've had every kind of fun I could have had Looking at my crowd tonight There's a sober kind of sparkle in their eyes That I don't like 'Cause everybody knows she ain't coming back The buttons on my clothes are as plain to see as that I'm a man of reputation in this rocker's town I have lived it up so long I'll never live it down Every back room bet I've made Every all night thrill room-service bill I've paid Looks cheap today 'Cause everybody knows she ain't coming back The buttons on my clothes are as plain to see as that I took a chemical vacation in my head But now I'm back here at the station with a trunk of regret Thought I found myself a frequency beyond her voice But the memories keep breaking through the noise So brother, send a ship for me before I wash upon the shore of clarity I can see That everybody knows she ain't coming back The buttons on my clothes are as plain to see as that Yeah, everwhere I go, there are ghosts of what I had Like the buttons on my clothes, they are everywhere I'm at |

Who's gonna call you up every single day?
Who's gonna hold you hard when stuff gets ugly? Cause baby if you wanna find someone As big as a door that fits in your palm A wall of support as small as a gun Can't you see? Baby it's me Who's gonna miss you just cause you leave the room? Who's gonna kiss your brow when your dreaming haunts you? Cause baby if you wanna find someone With all that they need but nothing they want Full of themselves but with a hole where you aren't Can't you see? Baby it's me Baby it's me Living in the lining Where your coins are chiming When we drive at night it's my eyes you're shining Who's gonna call you up every single day? Can't you see Baby it's me |

Eyes like a slash across her face
Lips I'd kill a man to taste Whatever this stuff is, I'm buying Whatever it does, I'll do it 'til I'm dying I can't wash her away It's getting under my skin I can't wash her away I can feel her closing in Hands like a carnival of queens Hair like a heart attack of dreams A voice so soft you could cut it with a kiss Screams so small you could hold them in your fist Little white fingertips running up your back Little needling scores where her nails leave a track I can't wash her away She's living in my skin I can't seem to wash her away I can feel her closing in Eyes like a slash across her face Lips so damn sweet you'd cut your tonuge out for a taste Whatever this stuff is, I'm buying If she's nothing but a coffin least she's good enough to die in She's a ballroom full of dancing chairs She's a child in disguise hiding bullets in her hair A voice so soft you could cut it with a kiss Screams so small you could hold them in your fist Every one night stand is a six week stretch Craving her arms twisted up around your neck Skin so white, a heart so pure If you opeden up her veins you'd see the light run through her |

I can't look into the future, but I can't cheat the past
I will wipe away my memory, I will find freedom at last I will walk away from everything that I used to want so bad I can't look into the future, but the future is the only thing I have The only thing I have I am standing on the pavement, I am staring at a sign A cheaper flight to paradise I am told I'll never find There are cameras on the rooftops, there are crazies on the green I will jump a plane to any place far enough away to get me out of who I've been Get me out of who I've been I have shaken, never bitten, every hand that ever hit me Time has taken what it wanted, now I'm gonna get my victory With my last cheap shot at the dream I can't look into the future, but I can't cheat the past I will wipe away my memory, I will find freedom at last I can't look into the future, but I know I don't wanna see Another day in Hell with all the mediocrities I will walk away from everything that the world wants me to do I can't look into the future, but the future's where I'm walking to I'm walking to |

You hold the key to whether we will ever last
I know I can't forever hide behind this mask 'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past You'll hear my reputation anywhere you ask They'll say I'm always chasing, so the die is cast 'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past Everytime I find somebody, the whispering begins About how I change my women like traffic switches lanes But girl, believe me, I'm the one that's changed Back then, the girls, I guess, I kissed and got out fast But that's all you need to know then girl, you should have asked Everytime I fall in love, out falls the past Everytime I find somebody, the whispering begins About how I change my women like traffic switches lanes But girl, believe me, I'm the one that's changed You hold the key to whether we will ever last But I hold when we're together; I ain't ever held on another so fast 'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past |

She's passing this way
And if you're looking for love, she'll give it away Yeah, we've all drunk from that cup You'll be hooked within minutes of tasting a drop 'Cause she is something, that is true But just a kiss, my friend, you're through 'Cause when she walks and leaves you blue You'll look like the junkies standing here in front of you But hey, you should follow your heart Maybe she won't desire for just pulling apart And I don't care if she does Once she's got you in deeper, there'll be one more of us 'Cause she is something, that is true But just a kiss, my friend, you're through 'Cause when she walks and leaves you blue You'll look like the junkies standing here in front of you |

Look at me, I'm the one who got away, the one who could've shone
I tried to do my best, but I guess your best don't last for long Look at me, standing with my tattered pride of toothless little lions We try to make a difference, do something no one else had tried But if you see me walking and you're wondering why Well it's just the business of life If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by Look at me, is it written on my face, the luxuries I've known? Am I a foreign presence, someplace that used to be my home? So if you see me walking, just a regular guy Well it's just the business of life If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by And in that weightlessness that comes with good luck The one thing you don't expect is feeling the drop Look at me, I'm the one who got away, and then came crawling back I try to do my best, but I guess I never had the knack So if you see me walking, and you're wondering why Well it's just the business of life If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by |
