Keeping a brave face
In circumstances Is impossible Cannot describe So many decisions It's impossible To know which is The proper order The best position To be in Take advantage Or so it seems The way it goes. It's tragic / Sandman comes Laid down on your side / Two to one Too easy / In the dark You know that, you know / Dark reflections You're soaking wet / In my head You talk too much / In my bed It's not necessary / Again Before the ice melts / Sandman goes I just want to say / Two in tow This racket's yours / Wet and dumb Don't ask for more / Three's the number 'Cause somewhere along the line / Coming down Coming round again I've forgotten already |

I never feared the rain
Until you turned to me And said you'd failed again It makes a perfect day so lame And leads us halfway To nowhere... And so the players Have changed Soon we'll memorise the names But somehow something's Never quite the same Still we'll stake a claim You can count us in again Cos' everyone's a winner baby Hedge your bets Get set and maybe We could be the first To cross the line... Get up, get set, get ready Get high, get low, get even Cos' we're living In inimitable style Chasing the ultimate prize... You'd make a fine millionaire It's only natural to celebrate But someone's got to Be there to pay And we never get there... So take some time on our own We burn enough alone Close but still not fully grown Pulling marrow from a bone But there's no turning back So count us in again... Cos' everyone's a winner baby Hedge your bets Get set and maybe We could be the first To cross the line... Get up, get set, get ready Get high, get low, get even Cos' we're living In inimitable style Chasing the ultimate prize... Going back to the old house The Marigolds just go to show That some of us should Never have left home But see I'm still counting Another flash in the pan A quick and instant forming tan It seems to grow on me Taking inches from a mile But I'm all for throwing It on the line... |

For those who won't
And never will Song sounds blue... No-one at home And time to kill Song for the beautiful loser... She would hide at the park and ride Glued up to the gills High tar cigarettes and sex An appetite for pills She's a shell of her former self Bad natured on the shelf And the honeymoon's wearing thin It's a sign of the state we're in... A stolen heart Broken apart Song for the beautiful loser... Sweet sixteen A kiss too far Song sounds blue... She was glad when her dad Got locked out for good Teaching her love by lashing out With anything he could... She's a shell of her former self By nature left on the shelf And the honeymoon's wearing thin It's a sign of the state we're in... She would hide at the park and ride Glued up to the gills Cigarettes and easy sex on a Belly load of pills... She's a shell of her former self Bad natured, left on the shelf And the honeymoon's wearing thin It's a sign of the state we're in... Song for the beautiful loser Song sounds blue... |

Now his intentions unfold, they're not what they seem, He only wants to take control. Boy is he selling you loads, all you do is believe, Grant him his black-eyed fantasy. He claims that he knows you, says it's written in the stars, Do you believe this bullshit? Tell me you don't want to face this situation any more than I do Oh you think you're so great, keep it up at this rate, You're bound to catch it if you wait. I've seen the symptoms before, they come as they please, Here comes the low rent man again, He claims that he knows you, says it's written in the stars Will you believe this bullshit? Tell me you don't want to face this situation any more than I do. So what does he have in store; does he need you to bleed? Inadequate in all he breathes, He claims that he knows you, says it's written in the stars, Will you believe this bullshit? If you don't want to face this situation any more then I don't. |

I do think that you could be
Anything that you want to be It's easy, easy when You say that time will tell It don't mean the last orders Bell is ringing, ringing And there's always plenty more GAndT in the sea... You keep playing the Same tired old blues songs Over the same tired Old blues chords Put those songs to sleep They don't make me Weep anymore... Your empty glass ain't No crystal ball It can't tell you What the future's bringing Bringing it's bank Holiday mundane Medazalan may help to stop That stinging, stinging And there's always plenty more GAndT in the sea... You keep playing the Same tired old blues songs Over the same tired Old blues chords Put those songs to sleep They don't make me Weep anymore... And let it begin again Let it begin again With a hearty meal And a map to read Oh life's been good to me... So keep playing those same Old blues songs... You keep playing the Same tired old blues songs Over the same tired Old blues chords Put those songs to sleep They don't make me Weep anymore They don't make me Weep anymore... |

You could call me a car lover,
cause I love it in a motor, And the way it feels, To ride around on new wheels. I hardly know you, But I think I'm going to, Let's go siesta, In your Ford Fiesta. (chorus:) Here we go again, I'm riding in your car, Let me count to ten, Cause it's gone way too far, Up my street to nowhere, You know what detours are, Here we go again, And it's gone way too far. Sometimes I just can't function, My heart's spaghetti Junction, Every shining bonnet, Makes me think of my back on it. I just can't escape the feeling, That I'd rather be free wheeling, In every little Honda, There may lurk a Peter Fonda, (repeat chorus) |

Riding on any wave, That is the luck you crave,
They don't believe it now, They just think it's stupid, So got anything? Anyone could have done, Who would've cared at all, Not you. Another heart has made the trade, Forget it, forget it, forget it, I don't understand how a heart is a spade, But somehow the vital connection is made. Riding on anything, Anything's good enough, Who would've thought it of Someone like you, Just as they brought me round, Now that they brought you down, Roundabout and roundabout Who wants a life anyway? Another heart has made the grade, Forget it, forget it, forget it, I don't understand how the last card is played, But somehow the vital connection is made. |

But they all call me Frances I saw the coast was clear Do you mind me being near?... I've seen faces in high places Messing up for good Say what am I doing here What am I doing here?... What say you're feeling meek Saw the writing on the wall Feel sad and blue... Paradise is close at hand In images of elsewhere I've seen faces in high places Messing up big style... I log on for company My ISP comforts me Goodbye Godspeed I can't give you what you need If I've sounded distant thus far It's cos' I'm as lost as you are... Paradise is close at hand In images of elsewhere... Goodbye Godspeed I can't give you what you need If I've sounded distant thus far It's cos' I'm as lost as you are... Goodbye Godspeed I can't give you what you need If I've sounded distant thus far It's cos' I'm as lost as you are... |

A dead loss,
No fun, just glum Lying next to someone So don't mention the war Don't question where we stand Or where we fall North, south, east where's best? If i head left It turns out directionless And needle point aside I always find Embroidery leaves me blind Cos i'm too weary to rest Since i noticed Coming second best is close to ideal What fools boredom breeds So much to do So many goldfish to feed And paracetamol I take them all They line my stomach wall With customary thirst I search a water glass But gin hits first Oh don't believe the hype Expectancy will always spoil a party It's tourniquet by crochet My waters break Don't drive for pity's sake Cos i'm too weary to rest Since i noticed Coming second best Is close to ideal |

Hold me now I need assistance I'd take somebody else if I could. Walking down tree lined place so pensive in the country I can't take the voodoo that you do Just lust easier sussed real love makes me untrue Hard to make a stew when the meat keeps looking up at you. Hold me now I need assistance Follow down the path of least resistance Hold me now don't keep your distance I'd take somebody else if I could ~ Hold me now I need assistance Who don't you take the path of least resistance Hold me now do I need a license to hold you?

LOST CAT - Catatonia
Lost cat in Arthur Street, black and white If you go, I'll come without a fiiiiiiight I'm sick of hearing damning words of you come cursing through my head And I'm too proud to sit here,chasing time, wasting things we shared, Or thought we had. You said, I'm you digging a home Truth is, you left a long time agoooooooo But you can turn it on and play the innocent, though you've been caught. And I'm too proud to sit here, saying everything is how it was. Never been this sure. Take it from where you want to grow, there's always tomorrow. I'd rather have you smile than have you fall, no matter where you go. Ten men in trial of love succeed All those in Arthur Street will walk freeee. And you can turn it on and play at anything you ever wanted to. Cos you're not dull and I'm not strong enough to carry on wondering How we're gonna see this through. |

Stop doing what you . . . Keep doing it too . . . I'd rather stay bold and lonely, I dream I'm your one and only Stop doing what you . . . Keep doing it too . . . Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry This could be a case for Mulder and Scully Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone I'd rather be jumping ship, I find myself jumping straight in Stop doing what you . . . Keep doing it too . . . Forever be dozy and dim, I wake myself thinking of him Stop doing what you . . . Keep doing it too . . . My bed is made for two and there's nothing I can do So tell me something I don't know If my head is full of you is there nothing I can do? Must we all march in two by two by two? Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry This could be a case for Mulder and Scully Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone And as for some happy ending, I'd rather stay single and thin Stop doing what you . . .

What I want
Mornings to the winter and afternoons to the summer What I want Is for you to be waiting round the other side of every door What I want To walk through the wardrobe of other bodies we have known What I want Is fifteen minutes of you What I want A lover who loves me when others have loved me not What I want Is a big love, two spoons in a drawer, the master plan What I want A lover who can love me slowly What I want To make your heartbeat faster What I want Is a room with a three-bar fire, like the one you had before, When you were poor and i just liked you more What I want To be in the park in the morning, the Long shadows on the grass and the swans still asleep What I want Is to love you everywhere and everyhow What I want To kiss you until our lips are numb What I want Kiss you 'til everywhere hurts What I want Is to hear the rain against the window again |

It's a sign of devotion
You made everybody else seem insane You filled my head with your notions You made everybody else seem so tame In your bed I lay reeling You made everybody else seem a shame I knew from the way I was feeling Nothing could ever be quite the same I moved straight into your shoes I took up your cause and answered your phone I couldn't really imagine What life was like when I was alone Then I started to worry I thought of our lives left on the shelf Too much TV and curry Too much time spent on ourselves We were sitting in waiting And I told you my plan You were far too busy writing Words that didn't scan And you lent me your records And I leant you an ear Funny how it seems to me now That you were never here Never really here In our bed I lay reeling You made everybody else seem a shame I knew from the way I was feeling Nothing could ever be quite the same It's a sign of devotion You made everybody else seem so plain Then it felt like going through the motions First impressions never remain We were sitting in waiting And you told me your plan I was far too busy writing Rhymes that'll never scan Now I've sold all your records 'Cause they give me the fear Funny how it seems to me now That you were never here Never really here Never really here |

Took back time, take an instant pleasure
Credit is due for the life of leisure Get to work and work gets done Best at being was not best at all Face the facts, being best got bitter Simple tastes won't suit me better Used to matter but that got done Best at being was not best at all Nothing stays the same Always change to remain Less than fine peace of mind Keep in check there is no time Tasks take time and time took effort Packed in pieces and pieced together Tend to work and work gets done Best at being was not best at all |

Fly, you greatest fool,
Why can’t you say what they want you to? Why can’t you say what they want you to? Why can’t you do what they taught you And show what they wanted of you? Fly, you greatest fool, Is this what everyone talked about? You spill your high-flung phrases And hush when the risk gets too much And I, I wish you would do it, Then I’d never have to notice if the bridges are burnt. Then I’d never have to notice if the bridges are burnt. Is this what everyone talked about? Swallow everything that suits, dress it up as truth, Swallow it all down And I, I wish you would do it, Then I’d never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.
