Please, your sympathy's not what I crave,
Nor judgement on how I behave,
Or to wake up beside you today,
Try as I do to let somebody in,
Well I never know where to begin,
It's just a sweet word and on to the next thing.

But whenever I hear your name,
A mist comes down over my eyes,
The burden of hiding my shame,
It grows weak and eventually dies, then it dies.
And what can I say,
If confession won't send them away?
These demons inside are refusing to die,
I hope against hope, but they stay,

And I'll disprove all that you've heard,
The shortcomings of all their long words,
Chattering of little birds,
Now, hormonal suppression kicks in,
And I'm lost in the scent of your skin,
And it hits like a left to the chin,

But whenever truth starts to ring,
A mist comes down over my eyes,
The pain and the guilt that it brings,
Loses faith in its host and then dies, then it dies.

But whenever I hear your name,
A mist comes down over my eyes,
The burden of hiding my shame,
It grows weak and eventually dies, then it dies.
And what can I say,
If confession won't send them away?
These demons inside are refusing to die,
I hope against hope, but they stay,
But they stay, stay, stay, stay,
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay.

. . .



When I am sad and weary
When all my hope is gone
And i can't put my finger on the time things first went wrong
I have a little secret I like to tell myself
And until now i haven't told anybody else
You may not see things my way
Like my methods or my reasons
But you can't tell me that i'm wrong

(chorus)
Theres no heart you can't melt with a certain little smile
No challenge should be faced without a little charm and a lot of style
So don't put your faith in time She heals but doesn't change
And only a fool wont take the chance to stay the same

When I am sad and weary
When all my hope is gone
I walk around my house and think of you woth nothing on
I have a list of things I go over in my mind
When i can just sit right back and watch the world unwind
You may not see things my way
I don't care cos im not asking
But you can't tell me that i'm wrong
(chorus)X2


. . .



Ugly hyena
Your misdemeanor,
Reveals the truth beneath your veneer
Filthy quizling, empty changeling
Not quite as lily-white as you once appeared
Are you aware of what you're doing?
Do you even care just who you're screwing

Back stabber, money grabber
You want to grind my bones to climb the ladder
Insipid, and weak with it
But I mistook you for a kindred spirit
And to think that you almost fooled us
With promises and acquired kudos

Liquid lips wants
Liquid lips gets
Liquid lips too shallow to have any regrets
Liquid lips suck
Liquid lips blow
Liquid lips knows how the conspiracy goes
Liquid lips once
Liquid lips twice

Some men will love you
Some men will hate you
Some men just seem intent to disintegrate you
Without a motive, without a reason
Maybe your kinda face just ain't in season
You got a style that is so attractive
But when you smile it's radioactive

Liquid lips wants
Liquid lips gets
Liquid lips too shallow to have any regrets
Liquid lips suck
Liquid lips blow
Liquid lips knows how the conspiracy goes
Liquid lips once
Liquid lips twice

Are you aware of what you're doing?
Do you even care just who you're screwing?

Liquid lips wants
Liquid lips gets
Liquid lips too shallow to have any regrets
Liquid lips suck
Liquid lips blow
Liquid lips knows how the conspiracy goes
Liquid lips once
Liquid lips twice
Liquid lips baby you would sleep on ice
Liquid lips over
Liquid lips out

Who is she to say you can't be trusted?
And come to think of it, how does she know?
Her doubt is just her faith in disappointment.
She can't be blamed if she decides to go.

Her dignity is what makes her an angel.
You know she needs it more than she needs you.
It doesn't pay to take these things for granted.
Something which you always seem to do.
You always seem to do.

But she just wants to spend some time with you.
Just a minute or just a moment.
Just long enough to throw one good clean punch.

Now you've reached the point where she sees through you.
Your low esteem and lack of self-control.
Everything she had she handed to you.
And what she didn't give you, you stole.
You couldn't have so you stole.

Sometimes I stop to question it all.
Must I look at the stars, and live in the dirt?
When all I have to show for my doubt is a blow to the lip, and some blood on my shirt.


. . .



Can I stay at your house?
I'll sleep on the floor.
My home is a war-zone, I've no stomach for more.
You can't hold a candle to what I saw today.
More than I can handle, so I'm running away.

Home fires burn, scorching a hole through me.
And I am welcome no more.

It's the harrowing story of one man's mistakes.
And the names have been left out for the innocents' sake.
That man who would save us from the hurt the world brings, neglected to mention who would save us from him.

And those home fires burn, scorching a hole through me.
It's like the third degree.
And I am welcome no more.

Now I've no one to turn to.
I guess I'm at my wits end.
I'm beginning to learn who are really my friends.

And those home fires burn, scorching a hole through me.
And I am welcome no more.
Home fires burn, scorching a hole through me.
It's like the third degree.
And I am welcome no more.


. . .



God knows I've tried to bridge the gap, I've tried to be near.
Time after time I've lied just to say the things you wanted to hear.
Look, look what I've done, look what I do.
I'm starting to pull myself through.

Hell could feasably freeze, but in your eyes I'll always be the fountainhead.
The boy whose thoughts keep running away.
And you know I'm right.

Wasn't it you who said that when looking to open the eyes in my head?
And now I can see from your mistakes you're as blind as me.
God knows I've tried.
God knows I try to be something more than I am.

Hell could feasably freeze but in your eyes I'll always be the fountainhead.
The boy whose thoughts keep running away.
And you know I'm right.

What can I say without being profound?
It's a game that we play, it goes round and around.
I shall stick to the rules but I won't suffer fools.
And I won't lose the plot and I won't lose my cool.
Can't you see what I've done?
Can't you see what I do?
It's not really unique, and it's hopelessly crude.
But these are my decisions, these are my mistakes.
And I'll fall down again, if that's what it takes.


. . .


I think I pulled it off, I think I killed my brain,
It checked-out in my sleep, I didn't suffer pain,
Through years of slow decline and lack of proper care,
I'm happy to report, my minds no longer there,
Can't pretend that I will miss it that much,
But it was handy for the crosswords and such,
All in all I'm a happy lobotomy.

I used to contemplate, until it hurt my head,
I'd fix a milky drink and put myself to bed,
Now I can lie and stare at things for hours on end,
Not caring who or what, or why or where or, when,
Can't pretend that I will miss it that much,
But it was handy for the crosswords and such,
All in all I'm a happy lobotomy.

It's fair to say, I rubbed it out,
Forsaken or I get about,
But when a push becomes a shove,
I'd sign again for all we've got.

So if you see me sitting, with my expression frozen,
Don't waste your precious pity, this is the path I've chosen,
Two years of wilful neglect, my old grey matter is wrecked,
Quorn from Quebec, there's nothing north of my neck,
Can't pretend that I will miss it that much,
But it was handy for the crosswords and such,
All in all I'm a happy lobotomy.

. . .



Tonight I'm wound tighter than a watch spring.
Tonight you owe my patience quite a debt.
Tonight we're not gonna solve anything.
I might say something that we both regret.

And now the pressure's on, the heat is rising.
The time has come to stop apologising.
'Cause when the skies go clear, the threat of rain is always here with you.

Tonight the geese are flying.
And everything you say is a call to arms.
Tonight there's something in the air.
Don't come too close and you'll come to no harm.

And now the pressure's on, the heat is rising.
The time has come to stop apologising.
'Cause when the skies go clear, the threat of rain is always here with you.
With you.
With you.
With you.

And now the pressure's on, the heat is rising.
The time has come to stop apologising.
With all that's gone before, my motive's never felt so pure.
And now my heart's beset with eighteen carot gold regrets.
'Cause when the skies go clear, the threat of rain is always here with you.

Seems like your'e always a million miles away
As far as I'm concerned thats where you can stay
But all the time I'm reminded

(chorus)
And all the time you remind me
Of blitz-kreig and the doodle bug
Salt upon a bubbling slug
You say I can talk to you anytime
Though I just wanna cut some rug
Turn yourself away and shrug
And say I can talk to you anytime
Anytime

Used to be a time we had a lot in common
Now as far as i can see you got some thing coming yeah
And all the time your'e behind me

(chorus)

Easy living in a bubble
And no complication or trouble
But its hard to have responsibility
And judging by you a personality

(chorus)


. . .


I fled a pale grey town,
Well I was catapulted over the wall,
I came a great way down,
And though it wasn't clear at the time,
I had further to fall,
I used to dream at night,
That I could be the belle of the ball,
I gained a stone cold fright,
Well it was pleasing me, deep down,
Everybody you meet wants to knock your, teeth out,
'Cause your an enemy of reason and serenity now.

I tried to shake my curse,
But I never found the method I needed,
I only make things worse,
Down every avenue that I stroll,
My reputation proceeded,
You know it breaks my spine,
When I think of every inch I conceded,
But if you take that line,
It's worth considering, deep down,
Everybody you meet wants to knock your, teeth out,
'Cause your an enemy of reason and serenity now.

You know it breaks my spine,
When I think of every inch I conceded,
But if you take that line,
It's worth considering, deep down,
Everybody you meet wants to knock your, teeth out,
'Cause your an ally of corruption and obscenity,
Your an enemy of reason and serenity now.

. . .



I'm a fast boy
I've got worry
I've got engagements
I'm in a hurry
So come on

Don't use telephones
I won't hear ya
Beneath the radar
So inferior
So come on

Who's the man every weekend
Who's the fast boy, who's your best friend
First you twist my arm, then you grease my palm
Keeping cool and calm, not doing any harm.

I'm a fast boy
I'm on the guest list
I've got a gram of joy
Wrapped in a clenched fist
So come on

Who's the man every weekend
Who's the fast boy, who's your best friend
First you twist my arm, then you grease my palm
Keeping cool and calm, not doing any harm.

Please not a word to the mother
Please not a word to the mother
Please not a word to the mother
So come on


. . .



I knew a teenage Jesus.
He was a friend of mine.
He gave me all the answers, he fed me bread and wine.
Me and the other disciples, we understood his mind.
He had so many secrets.
He had such little time.

And I'll keep in my head all the words that he said.
And I'll keep in my heart all his love.
And I'll be at his side in just a while.

I knew a teenage Jesus.
I brought him to the dream.
He had the coolest sandals that I have ever seen.
âЂŒI want to be like you.âЂќ
I said âЂŒI want to be a star.âЂќ
He took my hand in his hand and said âЂŒYou already are.âЂќ

And I'll keep in my head all the words that he said.
And I'll keep in my heart all his love.

And I'll be at his side in just a while.
Hallelujah.
Um and hallelujah.
Hallalujah.
Um and Hallelujah.

I'll keep in my head all the words that he said.
And I'll keep in my heart all his love.
I said I'll keep in my head all the words that he said.
And I'll be at his side in just a while.
Happy Birthday Jesus.


. . .



I see you in the darkness
Across the cotton plain
Peace permeates throughout you
Your slender, fragile frame
I know I shouldn't be here
But just can't keep away
You'll be mine in the morning
And that's how you shall stay.

The seconds and the moments
I steal away with you
Must be some indication
Must be some kind of clue
Of hope in my existence
Of worth in all that's lost
You'll be mine in the morning,
No matter what the cost.

And this is it for me
If it all comes crashing down
There's no security or road out of this town
A blackened name
A broken frame
I'm far too delicate for this
The first and final kiss.


. . .



Where did you go?
When things went wrong for you?
When the knives came out for you?
Where did you go?
All you needed was a friend.
You just had to ask and then...

You don't have to have the solution, you've got to understand the problem.
And don't go hoping for a miracle.
All this will fade away.
So I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.

What did you learn?
Locked away all on your own, chance and your head all blown.
What did you learn?
It was unfortunate.
You missed your chance to find out that:

You don't have to have the solution, you've got to understand the problem.
And don't go hoping for a miracle.
All this will fade away.
So I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.

You don't have to have the solution, you've got to understand the problem.
And don't go hoping for a miracle, yeah.
All this will fade away.
So I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.

But just for a short while.


. . .



Some words will cut you
Like the sharpest blade
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
Nothing is different
But something has changed
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
As I speak these words
I cant believe what I'm saying
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I keep my thoughts in little boxes labelled A-Z

Some words can break the skin
And let the daylight in
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
Your once charming foibles
Now drive me up the wall
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I keep my thoughts in little boxes
Boxes underneath the bed
Under the bed with your photograph
And the image is fading

Time has flown
You're all alone
You've always known
It's never going nowhere
Act your age
Turn the page
Leave the stage
It's time to move on
And me and you
How high we flew
We always knew
It's never going nowhere

I keep my thoughts in little boxes
Boxes underneath the bed
Under the bed with your photograph
And the image is fading

Time has flown
You're all alone
You've always known
It's never going nowhere
Act your age
Turn the page
Leave the stage
It's time to move on
And me and you
How high we flew
We always knew
It's never going nowhere


. . .


If your nights feel long and empty,
And your heart grows tired at day,
Don't try to keep it from me,
Your eyes will always give you away.

Alone, alone,
It doesn't get any better, alone.

Hang on to your sense of wonder,
Hang on to your gentle grace,
Hold out for a great blue yonder,
You'll find your resting place.

Alone, alone,
It doesn't get any better, alone.

Alone, alone,
It doesn't get any better, alone.

. . .



Monday
Count all the teeth in my head
Tuesday
Anointed by a man in a dress
It's more than just a question of time
It's more a question of
Reason and rhyme

Wednesday
Got hiched just like a good boy should
Thursday
And Friday didn't feel so good
On Saturday I said my goodbyes
On Sunday I'm food
For the worms and the flies

Pack up your troubles now take
All you can carry
On your way
Your way
Just remember this time you know you've only got seven days

It's more than just a question of time
It's more a question of
Reason and rhyme

Pack up your troubles now take
All you can carry
On your way
Your way
Just remember this time you know you've only got seven days


. . .



If you get out before September, remember that I'm still inside, but I'm dry, I'm dry.
And you, when you try to make a difference, you're so different.
And then I try, and just die, I die.

You know that I need you more than I want ya, but I want ya for all time.
So I'm, I guess on the line.
It's all that I can do to sing these stupid songs to you.
I give up half my time just trying to think up words that rhyme.
I ain't getting any younger, but you wouldn't know.
So it's on with the show.

Sometimes a smoke a drink and a ponder can work wonders when you're down.
Takes your frown, turns it round, around.
And you when you try to make a difference, you're no different than when I try, and just die, I die.

And now that your day-dream is forgotten and forgiven, and the world has been saved, be brave.
It's all that I can do to sing these stupid songs to you.
I give up half my time just trying to think up words that rhyme.
I ain't getting any younger, but you wouldn't know.
'Cause I walk in shadow.
And I never ever really show my face.
But I'm only ever seen in the right place.
