- No More Affairs
There's no more affairs
No more fooling around
There's no more affairs
Are you gonna find out?
If I tremble in your arms
If I sigh through your hair
This last affair
- A Marriage Made in Heaven
She fell in love with my singing
She knew the bells started ringing
She thought there was only her there
But, me, I just live for the clapping
A hand delivery of an invite to my premiere
When he fell in love, I was acting
I sent her flowers, asked her to marry me
But all I heard was their clapping
- A Night In
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
The path that you led
Was straight to your bed
There's no cots to sleep in
And you showed me
Who I was running from
As if I had not known all along
- All The Love
All the love
All the love inside me
Is on it's way
Is on it's way to find you
Don't try to hide
From my love for you
All the love
- Another Night In
Greed's all gone now, there's no question
And I can see you push your hair behind your ears
Regain your balance
Doesn't matter where she is tonight
Or with whoever she spends her time
If these arms were meant to hold her
They were never meant to hold her so tight
For the love of that girl
- Are You Trying To Fall In Love Again
My my, it doesn't matter what you say
From the start, I hang off every word you say
Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again?
Does it make it all right?
Are you trying to fall in love again?
Now, I'm a hard man gone soft
The lines were so clear then
- Bathtime
There's a city filth that lingers
All over my naked hands
Deep into weave of the clothes I wear
And every step brings another
Every hour adds some more
Till I'm on the other side, leaning on your door
- Bearsuit
I'm laying on my back
She climbs over me
Pricks out her nails
Runs them over my proud belly
I'm a tired, hungry bear
Spoiled and sleepy
Her finger's on my zipper
- Can Our Love...
Finding love
Now seems like the easy part
Just turn round the corner
You standing there
I felt the wind
Was pushing behind us there
It s taking us someplace that darling we ve never been
- Cherry Blossoms
A black television screen
Snow white and black
Deep and open
Splashing against the windows
- Chocolate
It had been the perfect Friday afternoon,
the job was almost done.
The house we were decorating was owned by a little old man,
forever in the same three piece suit he'd probabbly had since he was demobbed.
He seemed to be forever on his way to the post office,
carrying brown paper ansd string wrapped parcels under his arm.
He'd bring us out china cups of camp coffee and plates of custard cream biscuits.
The house had belonged to his parents who had both passed away within weeks of each other, a few years back.
- come feeL the sun
Why don't you come out
the guards have gone
they forgot their purpose and shuffled
their lungs have come feel the sun
Why don't you come out
the dogs lie sleeping
their lips they twitch with the chills in their dreams
- Desperate Man
She knows what happens when Im without her
How this ring itches on my finger
Does she let me go to help me remember?
Remember how I came in
I was desperate then
Remember what I am without her
And thats a desperate man
Before I go, when Im without her
- Drunk Tank
How are you doing tonight?
Pull the blankets tight
The drunks shout outside your window
Light scrapes across your wall
Think of me
It never goes away
Think of me, I know
It never goes away
- Dying Slowly
I've got memories
I keep them away from me
They won't behave
Won't be what I want them to be
I've seen it all and it's all done
I've been with everyone and no one
- El Diablo En El Ojo
I wouldn't shut your eyes just yet
I wouldn't turn the lights down yet
Cause there's things you've gotta see here
There's things you've gotta believe of me
I wouldn't turn the sound down yet
Don't even touch the dials, not yet
Cause there's things you've gotta hear here
- For Those...
Two hours twenty minutes
To one, five past
Now it's laying somewhere out there in the ground
And I've lost you
I was cheated
It was something belonged only to me
And now it's gone through my own stupidity
- Friday Night
I can't read signs
The words just never reach my ears and I
Didn't want to try, just to see that smile
And I feel it drive, I feel it drive
The rails are chattering
Somethings coming this way I know it
The rails are chattering
Somethings coming this way I know it
- Jism
If she'd have known
She'd have shown me
I need to taste her pain
For encouragement
If she'd have known
She'd have shown me
I need to taste her pain
- Let's Pretend
Let's not make it into a big thing
Let's not get lost in this
I know it is, i know we could
I guess we surely would
Let's pretend it's not
It doesn't mean a thing
Let's not blow it out of all senses
- My Oblivion
She's my oblivion - it's to her I run
Out on the balcony - she waits for me
Out on the boundary - she smiles
She's my oblivion
Which way to turn?
The edges of our love are in the stars
And on the balcony
- Nectar
My letters sit on your window-sill
Yellowed by the sun
Written that time our love was in its prime
They just ran off my pen
My pen is broken now
Couldn't eat a thing
Couldn't sit next to you
- People Keep Comin' Around
You know I’ll always wait
Each time you take a step
So rest yourself down here a while
Rest your sleepy little head
But how do I know if that’s what you want
How do I know if you’d care
You’d better watch yourself
- Petites Gouttes d'Eau
You've been lying in bed for a week now
Wondering how long it'll take
You haven't spoken or looked at her in all that time
It's the easiest line you could break
She's been going about her business as usual
Always with that melancholy smile
But you were too busy looking into your affairs
To see those tiny tears in her eyes
- Pretty Words
Pretty words
Likes ones you’ve never heard
Oh those pretty words
What can they say?
It felt like the first summer’s day
When I heard those pretty words
Oh those pretty words
Oh those...
- Raindrops
Silence is here again
The silence is here again tonight
Will the love ever come back?
Will the love ever come back?
I know I’ve been pushing you away
I know it’s been going on for days
Those awkward little things
So endearing
- Say Good Bye To the City
Let's take a ride, say goodbye to the city
I've been here so long - I can't see it anymore
I've been here so long - I can't feel it anymore
So get in the car, babe - you know that it's alright
Get in the car, babe - we're gonna see ourselves tonight
When we're on the outside - it feels so hard
- Seaweed
Would you prefer a stone
That I chose for you?
That lay on a beach
Was just a sea of stone
Wasn't meant for you
Jumped into my eyes
Choice of millions
- Shadow
Shadow you'll bring me down
But every day I love you more
Shadow you'll bring me down
But every day I love you more
Than the day before
Chorus:
Body of a woman, mind of a child -
- She's Gone
She’s gone
And it’s quiet now
Took her mother with her
Left town
Took her mother’s eye
Stole her mother’s heart
It’s a compromise
We nurture that part and she’s gone
- Sleepy Song
Tell me
I can think right
Am I going home tonight
Or staying here?
Turn over
Turn out the light
I’m going home tonight
- slippin' shoes
And this feeling breaks
But my desire to give
So much that I had to lose
Giving isn’t something you can choose
Time lies dead
Hey, we could put on our shoes
We can celebrate when our hearts break and go laughing to that noose
- Sweet Memory
Watching the days go by it isn’t as half fun as it used to be
When I could reach out from the inside – the folds of your skin
Watching the sun rush by isn’t as half as good now it’s all silent ‘round here
Over the memory – the folds of your skin
And I never wanna spend another day, not a single moment from your side
No, I don’t even wanna spend another day, not a single moment from your side
Over the memory – the folds of your skin
- Talk to me
Talk to me darling
Before you throw it away
Look into these eyes now
Look into these eyes
If it's too far to fall
If it still makes you cry
You can't kill this love,
No you can't kill this love
- The Fast One
Some kind of machine has been hollowed out inside me
Don't know what I became or what I've left behind
See I don't remember when
Something plain about a girl brought me back here again
Stumbled round her house tonight
I could give her a call
Stumbled over the curbstone on the way to her door
- The Not Knowing
Hey, I've been wondering Where you go so late at night And hey, I've been hoping You'll be thinking of me no matter what the time
And hey, I'm not listening When you tell me there's no more words to say In your voice, hesitation You quickly light a cigarette and turn away
I'm not crying up, inside I'm smiling Seen that look in your eye, jump in your stare It's a feeling I never saw leaving Well, it's something that I don't deserve to have, oh no
The not knowing is easy And the suspecting, that's okay Just don't tell me for certain That our love, gone away It's gone away
And hey, I've been wondering Where you go so late at night And hey, I've been hoping You'd be thinking of me no matter what the time
And hey, as our love's flown away Over the hills on a seagull's wing Our ideas were like kids in a playground Now, I'm waiting for the bell that never rings
The not knowing is easy And the suspecting, that's okay Just don't tell me for certain That our love, gone away
The not knowing is easy And the suspecting, that's okay Just don't tell me for certain That our love, gone away It's gone away
- Tiny Tears
TINY TEARS
You've been lying in bed for a week now
Wondering how long it'll take
You haven't spoken or looked at her in all that time
It's the easiest line you could break
She's been going (about) around her business as usual
Always with that melancholy smile
- Travelling Light
There are places I don't remember
There are times and days, they mean nothing to me
I've been looking through some of them old pictures
They don't serve to jog my memory
I'm not waking in the morning, staring at the walls these days
I'm not getting out the boxes, spread all over the floor
I've been looking through some of them old pictures
Those faces they mean nothing to me no more
- Until The Morning Comes
My hands round your throat
If I kill you now, well they'll never know
Wake me up if Im sleeping
By the look in your eyes I know the times nearly come
Wake me up cause Im dreaming
Well, theyll never believe whats been happening here
But caught in my mind theres a way to get out
- Walking
Wake up, it's all right
I don't need to know where you've been
Went for a walk, out of my sight
You went astray again
Wake up, it's all right
You don't have the words, it's okay
I make it worse, I can make it better
- Whiskey And Water
Turn my whiskey into water
My cigarettes, I don't know what they taste like
Other women seem so ugly to me now
Playthings stand dusty
Books lie open on the page where I met her
And that other life
Is just a memory to me now
- Yesterdays Tomorrows
Ah, those days, those days where did they go?
They shuffled through our doorways.
Are they here?
Ah, those days, those days they follow us home
and peer through our windows.
And they're here?
