- Boredom
Yeah - well - I say what I mean
I say what comes to my mind
I never get around to things
I live a straight - straight line
You know me - I'm acting dumb
you know the scene - very humdrum
boredom - boredom
- Breakdown
If I seem a little jittery I can't restrain myself
I'm falling into fancy fragments - can't contain myself
I'm gonna breakdown - breakdown yes
Now I can stand austerity but it gets a little much
when there's all these livid things that you never get to touch
I'm gonna breakdown ...
- Ever Fallen In Love
You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse
Ever fallen in love with someone
- Fast Cars
They're nice and precise, each one begins and ends
They may win you admirers, but they'll never earn you friends
Fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, I hate fast cars
They're so depressing going around and around
Ooh, they make me dizzy, oh fast cars they run me down
Fast cars, fast cars,
- Fiction Romance
A fiction romance
I love this love story
That never seems to happen in my life
A fiction romance
All love and glory
That never seems to happen in my life
Dreams of love and dreams of pain
- Friends of Mine
Rita spits out her laurel leaf
and grabs a piece of my pie
she's gonna lead me up the mountain path
as the crows fly
Claudette's pretty quick off the mark
like a polaris missile in heat
she smiles at a hundred miles an hour
- Harmony In My Head
Whenever I'm in doubt about things I do
I listen to the high street wailing sounds in a queue
I go out for my walking sailing social news
Don't let it get me down I'm long in the tooth
When I'm out in the open clattering shoppers around
The neon signs that take your eyes to town
Your thoughts are chosen your world is advertising now
- Hollow Inside
Hollow inside I was hollow inside
But I couldn't find out what the reason was
Why I was
Hollow inside I was hollow inside
But I couldn't find out what the reason was
Why I was
Hollow inside I was hollow inside
But I couldn't find out what the reason was
- Jerk
Yesterday while feeling down I called you on the phone
Instead of being warm you seemed so cold
Was it something that I said or something on your mind
No matter what it was we had a row
Believe me - I'm sorry
I never meant to argue
I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so
- Love Is Lies
Well I'm going out
I'm gonna find myself a lover
I'm gonna look until I drop
I'll never stop
- Love You More
'm in love again
Been like this before
I'm in love again
This time's true I'm sure
Don't wanna end up like no nine day wonder
I've been hurt so many times before
So my darlin' I will never leave you
- No Reply
When I phone you night and day
I get no reply no reply
I keep writing those letters and send them away
To get no reply no reply
No reply oh can't you see
No reply it's ruining me
Even when I ask the reason why
- Nostalgia
I bet that you love me like I love you
But I should know that gambling just don't pay
So I look up to the sky
And I wonder what it'll be like in days gone by
As I sit and bathe in the wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come
I always used to dream of the past
But like they say yesterday never comes
- Oh, Shit
Oh shit I thought you and I were friends
Oh shit I guess this is where our love ends
Oh shit I thought things were goin' well
But it hasn't turned out so swell
Has it
Oh shit
Oh shit pride comes before a fall
- Paradise
Where in the world are we
Everything's fake nothing's real
I guess it just depends on how you feel
Why are you wasting my time
With questions when everything's fine
Why are things so nice
Is this the place that they call paradise
- Sick city sometimes
When you don't know who you are
And you're walking with a scar
In the places that are breaking down your mind
It's a complicated day
Busy people on their way
Mirrored buildings reflecting in your eyes
- Sixteen again
Feeling like I'm almost sixteen again
Layin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends
Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten
Just like I was sixteen again
Everybody gets the lowdown right from the start
Everybody gets the showdown right from the heart
But that's all that's on the menu and life's a la carte
- Something's Gone Wrong Again
Tried to find my sock,
I know that its lost,
Somethings gone wrong again
Need a shave,
Cut myself,
Need a new blade.
Somethings gone wrong again
And again,
- Time's Up
I bin waiting in the supermarket
Standing in line with the beans (cash up)
I bin waiting at the post office
For sticky pictures of the queen (stick up)
Now I'm waiting for you
To get yourself good 'n ready (make up)
Thinking to myself is this what they mean
By going steady? (break up)
- You Tear Me Up
Well I know it's the night
but have you gotta beat the
daylights out of me
I'm getting so god-damned bruised
I'll soon be softer than a stoned cherry
And when you let your flesh creep over me
you know I don't know what's come over me
