What a performance tonight Should I react or turn off the light? Looks like you're picking a fight in a blurring of wrong and right But how your mood changes You're a devil, now an angel Suddenly subtle and solemn and silent as a monk You only tell me you love me when you're drunk It's better than nothing, I suppose some doors have opened, others closed but I couldn't see you exposed to the horrors behind some of those Somebody said: listen don't you know what you're missing? You should be kissing him instead of dissing him like a punk But you only tell me you love me when you're drunk You only tell me you love me when you're drunk All of my friends keep asking me Why, oh, why do you not say goodbye? If you don't even try you'll be sunk 'Cause you only tell me you love me when you're drunk What's the meaning when you speak with so much feeling? Is it over when you're sober? is it junk? You only tell me you love me when you're drunk You only tell me you love me when you're drunk |

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could Little things I should said and done I never took the time You were always on my mind You were always on my mind Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine If I make you feel second best I'm so sorry I was blind You were always on my mind You were always on my mind Tell me tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me one more chance To keep you satisfied satisfied Little things I should said and done I never took the time You were always on my mind You are always on my mind Tell me tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me one more chance To keep you satisfied You were always on my mind You are always on my mind You were always on my mind You are always on my mind You were always on my mind You are always on my mind Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely lonely times I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine |

I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties "Dress in white" one said, with quotations From someone's wife, a famous writer In the nineteen-twenties When you're young you find inspiration In anyone who's ever gone And opened up a closing door She said: "We were never feeling bored 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought: 'Make amends' And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end" When I went I left from the station With a haversack and some trepidation Someone said: "If you're not careful You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for In the nineteen-seventies" But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had scored I'd bolted through a closing door I would never find myself feeling bored 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends" And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend Now I sit with different faces In rented rooms and foreign places All the people I was kissing Some are here and some are missing In the nineteen-nineties I never dreamt that I would get to be The creature that I always meant to be But I thought in spite of dreams You'd be sitting somewhere here with me 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends" And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend And we were never being boring We were never being bored 'Cause we were never being boring We were never being bored |
