Swallowed her down, she's inside me
She's struggling now, she can't break free And my eyes are closed, my lips are sealed She can't escape but I can feel Kicks in me Climbing my spine, she's inside me Wants to escape, wants to breathe And I wish I could tell you what she feels And I wish I could hear when she speaks In my sleep In my dreams |

Just don't imagine that I'll still remember you
Don't even think I'll try I'll take my memories and drown them in my glass And then I'll drink a toast of bitterness and wash you from my heart I count the blessings that took you away from me I laugh to think I cried I don't need what you got I don't miss what you do 'Cause I can raise my glass and drink a toast of bitterness to you And now my mind recalls no memory of you And so I raise a smile and drink a toast of bitterness to you Just don't imagine that I still remember you Don't even think I care You took your love elsewhere and I drank mine away With bitter thoughts of you that washed my memories of you away |

Nothing can eclipse Tender fingertips Youthful girlish hips Crimson pouting lips But what d'you say when nothing's meant What d'you do when all is spent Faithless faceless night Drenched in empty light Scarlet starlet's bright Vanity's delight Cream of life you'll find in her First to come she's first to serve Turned away you're out of luck Spurned again No one to fall in love |

Peel back empty night
Grey dawn breaks into white Sun climbing the sky Your eyes reflecting the light Clouds out of sight But when the day is through Will I see you again Keep your eyes on me Don't let go of my hand Running together We go together so well I can tell Run where I run Play what I play Do what I do But when this day's through Will I see you again |

Come on little man now all's said and done All tht I'm asking is you show me some fun I need purple veins and scenic greens They can make me soar and touch extremes I just fell down from whitest skies And now I start to realise And all the colours talk to me And if I had wings then I could take you in I'd stay on the ground and I could teach you things The grass is strewn with blades of gold These sights and songs I have been told All hopes desires that seem to sing Come on little man now you're times nearly through Colours are dripping down red and blue I'm standing in the middle of a great glass ball I'm told that I've nothing but I'm having it all I just rose up from blackest seas My eyes were opened so widely And its a shame to end this way |

Pretty little girl, she shines Knowing she is young, she smiles Happy just to be a prize Happy just to see his smile Silly little girl, she tries Thinking she is good, and wise Doesn't recognise the lies Pouring from her lips, she sighs: This is so real, It's what I feel, I look in your eyes and lose myself Silly little girl denies Every understanding why Her face is full of sad surprise Every time she hears him cry: What do you feel When you're with me? I look in your eyes and see myself But there's no connection, Just his own reflection Isn't this the way you wanted me? (what do you mean?) In love with you (what do I feel?) Do anything (what do you mean?) For you She looked in his eyes to lose herself And when it falls apart, she cries Doesn't think to look inside She just covers up her eyes Doesn't see her own disguise And though she feels this sorrow, It will fade tomorrow She'll pretend that this was really love (what do you mean?) She'll make their fall (what did I feel?) Seem beautiful (what do you mean?) She won't remember this at all (what do you mean?) She won't recall (what did I feel?) The truth at all (what do you mean?) She wants to fall (what did I feel?) Again (what do you mean?) |

And though you're laughing with me I know what you say about me I can't explain It's not your business anyway So don't say you understand And don't pretend you're on my side And I remember when you hated her for sleeping next to him I see your smiling face but I know you've done worse than me You hypocrite Don't talk to me cos you're not fit to know me So don't pretend that you could've ever been a friend And still I'm sure you think it's OK what you've done to me Cos I'm so bad to him Don't even try to hide behind that stupid lie I know your kind and I know where your loyalties lie Silly girls we run around and never know our reasons And though I understand I guess I say that you betrayed me I'm a hypocrite I dish it out but I can't take it I know You think its wrong but maybe you're right but this is my song And still I'm sure you think that it's OK what she did to me Cos I'm so bad to him Dont even try to hide behind that stupid smile I know our kind, and I know where our loyalties lie |

He lives his life in a world full of women
And he takes what he wants from their love And he throws the rest away I cling to him and pray But still he slips away And now it's just too late To wish him back again She won't put up with this life so she leaves him And she finds someone else, falls in love And she travels far away I say that it's ok And swallow all my pain And now it's just too late To wish her back again They left me here on my own in a nightmare And I just can't forgive any more So I smile and turn away Don't listen when they say They wish that I could stay And now it's just too late To wish me back again |

I just didn't know. I was waiting at the station, When your train came in, Wasn't you I was tiptoeing for, But you gave me a grin, Felt my heart in my throat, Felt my soul going out to you, Could this be love at first sight?

You are the one In your concrete arms I adore you Dirty and dear Block out the sun In your twists and turns I invade You show me no fear We blow around like tiny leaves in a big storm Finding there's nothing left to breathe or to keep warm You ebb and flow and your rhythm beats my head Leave me alone while you swallow up your dead You are the one You cradle me and kill Caressing my face Leave me undone You suffocate and have me This is the place Every door conceals a dream and a nightmare Nothing is ever really pure in the stale air And when it's dark everything becomes more clear Lie in the park when I want to have you near You are the one In your concrete arms I adore you Dusty and dear Block out the sun In your twists and turns I invade You show me no fear Left it unsung I shall leave but I'll return Poison my lungs, my blood is full of lead Things unsaid My love for you still burns |

Wake with the sun What's going on, when you're gone Fall asleep when you're near What's going on, when you're here And sometimes I think if I stand by the phone it may ring And sometimes I worry and fear what tomorrow may bring And you sing And you sing Breathe with your sigh Makes me high, don't know why Touching your skin Wishing you were within Your eyes are like saucers but mine are just clouded in gray I've so much to tell but I can't and you just go away Anyway Won't you stay Wake with the sun What's going on, when you're gone And when I lost control I was cold, and I felt old The ground is beneath me but slowly it's falling away You say we're like children so why won't you come out and play? And sometimes I think if I look at the phone it may ring And sometimes I worry and fear what tomorrow may bring When you sing When you sing |

If you walked in now I wouldn't start I wouldn't frown And if you just appeared I wouldn't cry or think it weird 'cause you are still around You're in the air, you're in the ground And you can't go away I am afraid you're here to stay Friends don't understand They close the door, they raise their hands She says she heard your voice Of course she does, she has no choice I was hours ahead When they removed you from your bed They drank all the while Until you said goodbye Why are we sitting here in ourselves? Why are we sitting here in ourselves? Why are we sitting here in ourselves? I don't look up, I don't look down I look ahead and make no sound My love was there, I only stare Healthy in my dreams Is what you are, is what is seems What does it all mean? You're only hiding behind a screen Curse the English day For what it forces us to say Banish all the pain 'cause when I die, die I'll see you again. |

Just because they seem to understand the way you feel,
It doesn't mean that thhey feel the same way too. Just because they seem to hold a mirror to your lives, It doesn't follow that they'll be just like you. Take no heroes, it's no good. They don't stand up to you Just take the bits you think that you can use. I remember when I was younger, I thought the answers were locked in people. So I admired the ones whose lives were the source of envy to people like me. But do you really want to meet, the ones who write your dreams? Believe me it's a fantasy. You won't like the reality. If you want heroes keep them safe. They don't stand up to life. So lock them in your soul and lose the key. I love you. I don't want to meet you. (Repeated 12x in background) When I see you it makes me feel, there's someone else out there like me. You touch my soul with what you do. It all makes sense when I'm with you. You understand the way I feel. I know exactly what you mean. It's like I've known you all my life. I think of you and I feel alright. But in the flesh how would it be, if you could really see the weaknesses you never knew Alive and staring back at you? If you want heroes keep them safe. They don't stand up to life. So lock them in your soul and lose the key. Lock them in your soul and lose the key. Lock them in your soul and lose the key. |

Drinking with my girlfriend on a Saturday night. This guy says "Come and meet my girlfriend. She's sitting in a corner looking rather uptight." So I say "hello," and I try to be nice. But I see he's feeling itchy. Trying to play us off each other "Girls, Girls, Please don't fight." (You get the picture). Hey you, with muscles and the long hair. Telling me that women are superior to men. Most guys just don't appreciate this. You just try convincing me you're better than them. So he talks for hours 멳out his sensitive soul. And his favorite subject is sex. I don't even think he really wanted it, But Christ, this guy's too much. (I want to tell him...) I'm as human as the next girl. I like a bit of flattery. But I don't need your practiced lines. Your school of charm mentality. So... Save your breath for someone else, and Credit me with something more. When it comes to men like you, I know the score, I've heard it all before. (Here comes the next one) Blondie was with me for a summer. He flirted like a maniac, but I wouldn't bite. I'm weak, and he was so persistent. He only had to have 멵ause I put up a fight. Oh, God. The boy had such an ego. He liked to talk about himself all day and all night. You think you're such a ladykiller. But you were nothing special, till you turned out the light. When he's nice to me, he's just nice to himself, And he's watching his reflection. I'm a five-foot morror for adoring himself. Here's seven years bad luck. (I want to tell him...) When you say you love me, You're just flattering your vanity. But I don't need your practiced lines. Your school of charm mentality. So... Save your breath for someone else, and Credit me with something more. When it comes to men like you, I know the score, I've heard it all before Ooh.

You don't answer me 'cause there's no one there Run away from your own sweet soul And you're too far gone to find your own way home |

"Baby," he says,
"You are like the clean white page and I the pen. The innocence I find between your girlish thighs is like the fountain of youth to my old bones." And she replies, "Daddy's little girl's a precocious child I love to please, I'll do anything that you ask of me Eager to fulfill all of Daddy's needs." "Baby, he says, "I can never love older girls like I love you. You're easier to please and you never give me grief 'cause you accept everything I say and do." And she replies, "I'm in no position to make demands. I have no past, no one else has done to me what you do. I've got no one else to compare you to." [Bridge] "And as you grow older, try to stay sixteen all your life, Old women grow bitter, don't let that happen to you." (Instrumental Break) [Philip King reads the poem "The Bloom of Youth" by Billy Childish in background] "And why is it charming pretending I'm younger than my years? Why can't I grow up with dignity? Set me free." "Baby," he says, "Now that you're older I feel our love has died. Once upon a time you never criticised me. Oh, I much preferred you as a child." And I reply, "Everything you said to me was a lie. I know your kind, you just want a daughter without the wife. You don't need a girlfriend you need a life." |

You're just a vacant space Other people's lives upon which you prey it's a permanent disgrace Why do you think you know what's best for me What I should and shouldn't do Why do you judge my history And tell me to improve in the confines of your mind You think we're all the same I've left them all behind Though you wish I hadn't in finding fault in others I can't see What you have to gain I know that you get pleasure from Other people's pain You're not so perfect and I realise the scene That you're all coming from When you say you care I know what you mean You're really lying All the people around here Love to hear about a fall They all surface and disappear In an instant in the confines of your mind You think we're all the same, I've left them all behind Through you wish I hadn't |

Tiny children on their own, they learn so fast How to make new friends, how to play their new games I remember a man he had shiny hair Always hanging around when you went away Little eight year old, she knows too many secrets Much too young to understand what it means I remember a woman with silver hair And the smell and the taste of the bed we shared And that's how I behaved Every time that you went away And now, though I'm older nothing's changed (playing the same games) And I knew every day Came a chance that you'd leave me So I found what I could to take your place Told me not to cry Said that I'd survive As he waved goodbye And I want to try Not to make you cry Want us to survive Never say goodbye But that's how I behave when you go away Because though I'm older nothing's changed (playing the same games) And I know every day There's a chance that you'll leave me So I find what I can to take your place |

And he takes what he wants from their love And he throws the rest away I cling to him and pray But still he slips away And now it's just too late To wish him back again She won't put up with this life so she leaves him And she finds someone else, falls in love And she travels far away I say that it's ok And swallow all my pain And now it's just too late To wish her back again They left me here on my own in a nightmare And I just can't forgive any more So I smile and turn away Don't listen when they say They wish that I could stay And now it's just too late To wish me back again |

If you walked in now I wouldn't start I wouldn't frown And if you just appeared I wouldn't cry or think it weird 'cause you are still around You're in the air, you're in the ground And you can't go away I am afraid you're here to stay Friends don't understand They close the door, they raise their hands She says she heard your voice Of course she does, she has no choice I was hours ahead When they removed you from your bed They drank all the while Until you said goodbye Why are we sitting here in ourselves? Why are we sitting here in ourselves? Why are we sitting here in ourselves? I don't look up, I don't look down I look ahead and make no sound My love was there, I only stare Healthy in my dreams Is what you are, is what is seems What does it all mean? You're only hiding behind a screen Curse the English day For what it forces us to say Banish all the pain 'cause when I die, die I'll see you again. |

Pretty little girl, she shines Knowing she is young, she smiles Happy just to be a prize Happy just to see his smile Silly little girl, she tries Thinking she is good, and wise Doesn't recognise the lies Pouring from her lips, she sighs: This is so real, It's what I feel, I look in your eyes and lose myself Silly little girl denies Every understanding why Her face is full of sad surprise Every time she hears him cry: What do you feel When you're with me? I look in your eyes and see myself But there's no connection, Just his own reflection Isn't this the way you wanted me? (what do you mean?) In love with you (what do I feel?) Do anything (what do you mean?) For you She looked in his eyes to lose herself And when it falls apart, she cries Doesn't think to look inside She just covers up her eyes Doesn't see her own disguise And though she feels this sorrow, It will fade tomorrow She'll pretend that this was really love (what do you mean?) She'll make their fall (what did I feel?) Seem beautiful (what do you mean?) She won't remember this at all (what do you mean?) She won't recall (what did I feel?)

Come on little man now all's said and done All tht I'm asking is you show me some fun I need purple veins and scenic greens They can make me soar and touch extremes I just fell down from whitest skies And now I start to realise And all the colours talk to me And if I had wings then I could take you in I'd stay on the ground and I could teach you things The grass is strewn with blades of gold These sights and songs I have been told All hopes desires that seem to sing Come on little man now you're times nearly through Colours are dripping down red and blue I'm standing in the middle of a great glass ball I'm told that I've nothing but I'm having it all I just rose up from blackest seas My eyes were opened so widely And its a shame to end this way |
