A Certain Sadness
Look out the window at that rainstorm
I've let the wind blow up a brainstorm
And now I'm wondering whether weather like this gets you too
It may go on like this for hours
Too late in fall for April showers
So I will court you got a thought or two
I need to share with you
Here goes...
Darling tell me now
Have I done wrong somehow
That you won't look at me?
Needn't point it out
Can't keep my wits about
When you won't look at me
Is there something I ought to know
You find it hard to say?
Well there's just a trace hiding on your face
And I've learnt it that way
Just another soul that really knows my soul
And you won't look at me
Does that take the prize
How much I love those eyes?
And they won't look at me
Now the rain has gone but something lingers on
A certain sadness here now that the sky is clear
And it's oh so clear...
Yes it's oh so clear to me now
And I can't help but fear that certain sadness here to
Stay... |

A Northern Bride
I am the last in a long line of conquests
Completed the contest and made him my own
I've flattered your friends and slept with you nightly
And not even slightly complained about home
'Cos time isn't on my side
There's some things a woman can't hide from
I tidy your home, I speak with your mother
And even your brother can tell you I try
To be good for you with no 'preciation
The depreciation my life has come through
Means this is my final try
To get what I'm sure I deserved like
Love, understanding, joy and a child
A partner who thinks that I'm worthless
I've written this note explaining the reason
I'm leaving the season you dropped out the league
I've transferred away
I'm heading for mother
Tomorrow my father will come for my things
'Cos time isn't on my side
There's some things a woman can't hide from
Like love, understanding, joy and a child
A partner who thinks that I'm worthless |

And When You Laugh And when you laugh I'm home I know that when you laugh I feel like I'm a better man Missing (into every) words Through getting every lie I've heard Only when you laugh, mmmm I belong And when you smile I play along Till every (weak) .... And mind game that you choose to play But I don't believe abandoning Or were another girl may bring When every time you smile I'm yours Smiling, too These are the days when wars are won These are the days when the world has begun to live Together Through gritted teeth forever And when you cry I am wrong Every time you cry I end up making other plans And when all the stake I take She brings every claim I make It's every time you cry It's crazy I'm still yours
These are the days when wars are won These are the days when the world has begun
These are the days when wars are won These are the days when the world has begun to live Together Through gritted teeth forever

Another Word I want to get from this modest thing
And I expect some persuading Then I might lose everything, maybe my mind And I’m coy and embarrassed too And ashamed I’m in love with you And for all I’ve done to you trying again My doubting head it shakes
And my feelings are reeling That’s when my heart it breaks like your car Before my sense hits the floor again
Better luck at my door again As the hope drowned in medicine flows in your arms From the look that you gave to me I could tell there was empathy As my self-spurning chemistry tries once again I never said a word
About your flirting, your smirking Another stinking curse pulls me apart Behind the windows of mind
Lurks the fear of womankind ‘Cos I never got valentines just like all the rest Just one more reminder
Of the liar I admire This kind of blindness makes sense But you’ve scared me with your friends And your fears and tears I’m asking you to lend me your arms |

Anyway
I'm moving out today
I've nowhere else to stay
So how many friends can I count on now?
And it's easier to stay
But we know it happened anyway
So what's the point?
The television's mine
But you'll be keeping the cutlery
And your awful bed this time
And it's easier to stay
But we know it happened anyway
So why pretend
That this time we'll fight
But it's really your right
It's easier to stay
But I know you've done it anyway
I've found a place to
No more words to the show
So I'll leave you the keys this time
And it's easier to stay
Yes it's easier to stay
You did it anyway
You knew I'd hate you
But you did it anyway
It's easier to stay
But you've done it anyway
So what's the point?
There is no point... |

Anywhere
I'll be around anywhere
Any place you want me
Now I'll be around anywhere
Any time I'm free
In time the stakes will change
Even persistination couldn't stay
Now I don't mind
Now I don't mind
'Cause I'll be around anywhere
Any place you want me
Now I'll be around anywhere
Any time I'm free
In time this place is mine
You know the inspiration in my smile
I don't mind
No, I don't mind
I don't mind
No, I don't mind
Leave it all behind
I don't mind
You know the inspiration in my smile
You know the inspiration
You know the inspiration

Believe In Me
Because I’m wrong
I send this message to you It’s been so long now Because I’m wrong I sing this message for you For you to know That the plans for the man on the back of your hands are over
They are over now The plan that we planned on the love of our land is over There’s only guilt Believe in me
Release me Believe in me Escape with me Believe in me because I wanted you
Believe the truth And every word that I said you knew I spoke for you Our plans for the man on the back of your hands are over
They are over now The plan that we planned with the love of our land is over There’s only me Believe in me
Release me Believe in me Escape from me Because guilt is the loneliest feeling
Because I’m wrong
I send this message for you The plan that we planned on the love of our land is over
There’s only me Believe in me
Release me Believe in me Escape with me Believe in me
Release me Believe in me Escape from me Because guilt is the loneliest feeling |

Bow Wow Now
I see your eyes
You're in the garden today
I wonder if you could talk
Just what you'd think to say
You know it's time for us to go
Don't help me
Tomorrow I'm back here on my own
Don't hate me
No pain, don't strain I
I won't forget you
We've been here together since 1983
I can't bear the thought that you'd have to die before me |

Can't Tell Me
I'd seen it all that afternoon
I'd seen it all and your brother's too
You showed me round, your mother's front room
And dropped your pants, took off your shoes
You can't tell me
Now that you're late
You can't sell me
Now that you're paid
You can't shelve me
Now that you're made
You can't tell me
Now that you're late
You have a flair for taking off clothes
You left me bare and nobody knows
How you came round four times a day
And had your way walked away
You can't tell me
Now that you're late
You can't sell me
Now that you're paid
You can't shelve me
Now that you're made
You can't tell me
Now that I'm late |

Cathedral Park
A walk in the park
This happens when something's up
And stays till dark
She's writing "cathedral park"
But her words are lame
Like her life, and then she says:
"When you said there's something wrong
It seems like I'm living without you
Of all the ways to hit me
Of all the things to say"
A night at the bar
This happens when she's around
Three pints too far
He's a barfly in a lonely town
She sees them off
He's useless and then she says:
"When you said there's something wrong
It seems like I'm living without you
Of all the ways to hit me
Of all the things to say" |

Disgraceful
I know why you came
This time that we've borrowed
Imagine us now
Talking tomorrow
We're not very big
But we're certainly clever
To go on together
Well... what makes sense now?
Disgraceful
Will we ever say no?
Disgraceful
Will we ever say no?
It's wine that we feel
That drives us together
This hormonal vision
That won't last forefer
We're old enough now
And we should know better
To go on together
Well what make sense now
This match that I'm burning to people still looking for something else |

Don't Blame Me
It's half you
The rest is me too
The choice was yours
It hurts me too
So hate me, don't hate me
Even though you blame me
The inescapable truth
That we'll never prove
So hate me, don't hate me
Even though you should
Nothing left to say
Pride got in the way
So hate me, don't hate me
Even though you blame me
The inescapable truth
That we'll never prove
So hate me, don't hate me
Even though you
Say we need to talk
You know we never could
So hate me, don't hate me
Even though you should |

Elizabeth Taylor And Richard Burton
It's been two years and eleven months
Since the first time you came around
And left alone in the days without
You're lying here and me sneaking you out
It's not like I hang around waiting
I don't even start to feel lonely
But when the weather turns to grey
We're back together on those rainy days
That's why Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
It's me and you, me and you
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
The(ir) love as new
That the feelings true today
Nobody knows about our special times
We're stealing hearts and we're making plans
It's not like I hang around waiting
I've never even thought to ask
If you've been thinking what I think we know
The time has come to let our feelings show
Because Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
It's me and you, me and you
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
The(ir) love as new
That the feelings true today |

Everyday I Die
Problems of need, I need you
Sleepless nights in rusty beds No one came here tonight I pulled on me, I need it to I unstick pages and read I look at pictures of you I smell the lust in my hands Everyday I die Your favorite trick was to touch me inside Oh so very art nouveau Completely false feelings of love we know Someone died here, but that was years ago |

Excuse Me Father
Excuse me father, what I'm trying to say
Is that I'm scared 'cause all my friends have been laid
It's in their eyes and in the things that they do with their hands
Fastening trousers
Hold their hands tight
Showing their love bites
Where can I hide?
Excuse me mother, what I'm trying to say
Is that I think that all my friends have been laid
I couldn't hate them but I don't like the way that it feels
Moving inside me
Women despite me
Children laugh at me
No
Help me
Don't squash me
Help me
Don't touch me
Excuse me father, what I'm trying to say
Is that I'm scared 'cause all my friends have been laid
It's in their clothes and in the way that they brush their hair
Talking behind me
Holding my glances
Mincing their movements
Slowing their dances |

Ghost
Riverside on Friday night My friends remain They say your name But my guard has gone Put a brave face on And make a smile you could hear But you're not here I'll trace the whole world to find your ghost But wherever I go I'm alone There's no-one else Still living by myself Yes I'm eating well I still cook for two you know And the bathroom's clean Windows let the sun shine in My complexion's clear But you're not here An empty bedroom A silent phone Wherever I go I'm alone Wherever I go I'm alone A stranger's face, a different place I see you everywhere It's funny how time does nothing and doesn't seem to care But.. I'll trace the whole world to find your ghost Who could understand me now you're gone I'll leave the bedroom Unhook the phone But wherever I go I'm alone I'll trace the whole world to find your ghost But wherever I go I'm alone |

Goodbye
Lying in darkness I'm lonely and confused I try to feel bitter I know that I’ve been used Words so close to me A moment to forget Touching me now leaves me empty and then regret Goodbye to you Conviction, faith and logic are properties you lack People round you suffer when you shut your eyes turn your back You're not as I imagine I'm lonely and confused Our bodies never tingled Our minds they never fused Goodbye to you... |
