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. |

Don't stop shaking
It's my head that makes me want to second guess at a distance Hoping there's a method to your madness baby I might just understand if you obey me. 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? Hold me now i need assistance Follow down the path of least resistance Hold me now will it take a lifetime to hold you? |

She's got her keys, money and fags, I know that her mind is made up, To get rocked. Drivel Head needs a new man, As only a drivel head can, He's a hormonal nightmare, So beware. (chorus:) Another victim of Line up in line, line up in line, Is all I remember Oh, how their favours change, You could have been kinder. Yes, yes, another victim of Line up in line, line up in line, Is all I remember. Oh, how their favours change, You could have been kinder. Drivel Head knows all the stars, Loves to suck their shining guitars, They've all been right up her stairs, Do you care? Drivel head knows all the bands, Knows them like the back of her hands, You can't see the wood for the trees, On your knees. (repeat chorus) |

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 |

Like a wind up toy you stutter at my feet And it's never the time boy You've had too much wine to stumble up my street Well it isn't a problem Nothing we can't keep between the sheets Tell me you're mine love And I will not wait for other bedtime treats (Chorus:) Is there something you lack When I'm flat on my back Is there something that I can do for you? It's always something you ate Or it's something you hate Tell me is it the way that I touch you? Have you found a new mate And is she really great Is it just that I'm much too much for you? Don't feed me a line boy I can hear that voice you use upon the phone And there's no need to be coy That is something you can do upon your own Well it isn't a problem Nothing we can't solve so just relax Am I on the wrong train love And will I have to tie you to the tracks (rpt chorus) I really want you to I really want you to |

You could have seen him, so weathered and dated He was a johnny come lately And i know that you would hate him If you'd seen his botanical leanings First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit He was a johnny come lately And i know that you would hate me If i envied the things that he spoke of How i envied the things that he thought of He was a johnny come lately And i know that you would hate me If i told you that i made some time and stayed behind To find out how to make a garden grow Where the sun no longer shines If i asked too many questions and i stayed behind To find out how to make a garden grow But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil He didn't need us, just tempted and teased us You could have been here, wishing you were here This was a johnny come lately And i know that you would hate me He was a johnny come lately And i know that you would hate me If i told you that i made some time and stayed behind To find out how to make a garden grow Where the sun no longer shines He assured me that the seeds you sold were sound But i must have cast them all on stony ground And now the sun won't shine I must have asked too many questions d And stayed behind to find out how to make a garden grow But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil. |

Oh, for the life of me,
I don't know Where it is I'm going. I'm growing. Somebody swapped the signs From nursery rhymes And my undress is showing, I'm growing. Oh, oh, oh.... This is all there is... This is all there is... This is all there is... This is all there is.... Repeat and ad words: Stale tea and stained cigarettes. I don't wanna die like this. I sit down and I see stars. Measure me now for my grandfather clock. Crash computers and midi files Fate dilemma to the juveniles. (?) Oh, oh, oh.... This is all there is... This is all there is... This is all there is... This is all there is.... Oh, for the life of me, I don't know Where it is I'm going. I'm growing. You'll be the death of me Can't you see? Give back what you're owing I stop growing. |

I'd rather be liberated, I find myself captivated
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 . . .

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 . . .

No stone unturned
Your sperm is stoned Lifeless and drowned Liquid desire Casual at best Slow disinterest To routine bound Partially dressed I did not leave the sinking ship The sinking ship left me - ee - ee Spring's light is kind Your looks went blind She kept a child And in nine months time... Slow dance, miss time Take as you find Awkward and drowned Liquid desire I did not leave the sinking ship The sinking ship left me - ee A lone contender Who can never win I've seen him Uncharted waters Where I now belong Like my song I did not leave the sinking ship The sinking ship left me - ee - ee No stone unturned My sperm is stoned Lifeless and still Liquid desire I did not leave the sinking ship The sinking ship left me - ee - ee - ee - ee |

Calm down, you're as guilty as can be If all you've got to lose alludes to yesterday. Yesterday's through. Now do anything you please Repeat chorus Space age, road rage, fast lane, minimum wage Home late, upgrade, short-changed, golden age Front page, lose face, handmade, space ache Backstage, outraged, disgraced, maximum weight |

So loose limbed i give in Although your bed is warm The worn springs they creak of regret And lust is the thief who steals away While we were sleeping Now you're doing my head in The lines, the blinds are drawn We are intimate strangers I'm reborn, it's a false dawn Where we've been, i forget And saturday's fuss is just small town lust It's me i'm cheating Now you're doing my head in Now you're doing my head in |

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. |

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. |

I thought we'd escape
I packed a fishing line and counted on it I thought we'd escape I packed a fishing line and counted on it But dreaming is for moonrise And moonlight ails these tired eyes I treat him like a lady I treat him as I would he unto me Give Rose rose-seller a run for her money With silicone and poetry But it's the end of me I thought it could change I'd wake up one morning and find nothing to rearrange I couldn't get there Behind his wall of Sunday papers I thought it could change I'd wake up one morning and find nothing to rearrange But dreaming is for moonrise And moonlight ails these tired eyes I treat him like a lady I treat him as I would he unto me Give Rose rose-seller a run for her money With silicone and poetry And it's the end of me Here I am Here I am And here I stand Here in my kitchen where I'm familiar with every brand Here I am A front line with labels where I witness custards last stand Here I am |

`Dazed, `Beautiful And And Bruised` - Catatonia
I've got my work cut out with you You tore bits out of me Your carpet burns and bruises blue And there for all to see But I can tell you've been through hell Finally you wear it well It's an accessory It's time to change your uniform And hand it on to me, to me And I dream one day I'll find The one who lives inside my mind They feel the same way too We've all been used Dazed, beautiful and bruised Dazed, beautiful and bruised And blame is not a one way street The widest avenue But cause me grief And my beliefs is harm will come to you Between the lines I think you'll find Lessons learnedfrom alleys blind Beauty can turn sour So recognise through all the lies The her of the hour, the hour And I dream one day I find The one who lives inside my mind They feel the same way too We've all been used Dazed, beautiful and bruised When there's nothing, nothing left to lose Dazed, beautiful and bruised Dazed |

KARAOKE QUEEN - Catatonia
Tedium is overcome From obscurity, through melody And when I'm blind it helps me See through your key No one can touch, no need to rush Presented by my alibi When I'm down it brings me round So easily At eight o'clock, I take my leave And when I'm done and dusted Tonight I'm gonna be I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see I'm gonna take you down to a place I know you'd rather be It's just a three minute song It doesn't last very long But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be Hey you can dance Oooh sha la la la la la la Common sense has excuses Recklessness, its uses But don't go fusing silence with charisma At nine o'clock you can count on me And when I'm up I'm ready Tonight I'm gonna be I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see I'm gonna take you down to a place I know you'd rather be It's just a three minute song It doesn't last very long But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be Where you can dance I'm doomed to fail The stage gives way It's an apostrophe to my legacy But though I'm bruised I'll happily do it all again At 10 o'clock don't wait up for me Coz when I'm up I'm ready Tonight I'm gonna be Matthew! I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see I'm gonna take you down to a place I know you'd rather be It's just a three minute song It doesn't last very long But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be And you an dance if you want to Show appreciation But step up to the mic for the full sensation And you can dance And you can dance And you can dance And you can ooh la la la ooh sha la la la And you can ooh la la la ooh sha la la la |

I'd rather be liberated, I find myself captivated
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 . . . Keep doing to me 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 here 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 So what have you got to say about that? And what does someone do without love? And what does someone do with love? And what have you got to say about that? |

If all you've got to do today is find peace of mind
Come round you can take a piece of mine And if all you've got to do today is hesitate, Come here, you can leave it late with me. You could be taking it easy on yourself You should be making it easy on yourself Cause you and I know, It's all over the front page, you give me road rage, Racing through the best days, It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy, Thinking you may be losing your mind. If all you've got to prove today is your innocence, Calm down, you're as guilty as can be, If all you've got to lose alludes to yesterday, Yesterday's through, now do anything you please. You could be taking it easy on yourself You should be making it easy on yourself Cause you and I know, It's all over the front page, you give me road rage, Racing through the best days, It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy, Thinking you may be losing your mind. You're losing your mind. You, you've been racing through the best days You, you've been racing through the best days. Space age, road rage, fast lane, And if all you've got to do today is find peace of mind Come here, you can take a piece of mine. You could be taking it easy on yourself You should be making it easy on yourself Cause you and I know, It's all over the front page, you give me road rage, Racing through the best days, It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy, Thinking you may be losing your mind. But you and I know, We all live in the space age, coming down with road rage, Racing through the best days It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy, Thinking you may be losing your mind. It's not over, it's not over, it's not over, It's not over, it's not over, it's not over, you and I know We all live in the space age, you give me road rage, Racing to the best days It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy, Thinking you may be losing your mind.

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 |

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 |
