- 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 laid
You can't sell me now that you're paid
You can't shelve me now that you're made
- Elevator Song
Elevator Song
(hillier)
If you need somebody around you
well then I'll be the one who's there
If you need somebody to listen
- I Lost A Friend
Walking down the hill
To find the last time I saw you
Trying everywhere
I thought that somwhere I'd find you
The world is turning
Concerned that I won't find
I lost a friend
- It's Over
Search lights dim out
Inside my house
I've played this inning for quite a while
Guess what - they ran me out
I've faced the ending
One message sent
It's over
Hardly been here
- Just a Girl She Said
It's alright, I'm just a girl she said
Talk down to me & take me to bed
I don't think I don't feel
And I don't really matter at all
Kiss me in darkness turn out the light
Pretend you're with someone else tonight
You don't think you don't feel
And I don't really understand why
- Last Song
And on
Our stage
The scene
Is set
The empty chairs
And pushers left
Invitations made and sent
- Let's Go
I haven't sung in years and shown I've meant it
They'll play the tune and my gestures are empty
But my eyes are open
Every word is true
But then it's a big thing at the chemist together
You take my heart and describe it in letters
Every checkout girl can see us
Everyone knows our names
- My Start In Wallsend
Sunday sunshine
I know that sometimes friends can easily lose the way
Now in daylight no time for fights
We have to live another day
You're my best friend
My start in Wallsend
People round who know the score
For all the great things I've kept a space
- No More Talk
Talking is useless when your cards have all been shown
I'll make you feel bitter and I'll never use the phone
'cos I'm not the kind of person soft enough to cry
I'm not the kind of person to hide when I can fight
So breakout now let the feelings out and take the blame away
and leave the past for another day
please no more talk today
'cos I'm not the kind of person to hang around
- Not So Manic Now
The wind's whistling
My mind's twisting
I was making myself the usual cup of tea
When the doorbell strangely rang
Because I've been up here for a while
I'm starting to feel the monotony of the tower block
I'm not so manic now
- Say The Worst Thing First
Say the worst thing first
You could swear you wouldn't change
But my words had lips that chose to tip
The balance just the same
I believe that some things can work better in the dark
But my one regret's we didn't get a torch before the start
And now we'll never speak again
My face says everything
- Stars
Is it asking too much to be given time,
To know these songs and to sing them?
Is it asking too much of my vacant smile,
And my laugh and lies that bring them?
But as the stars are going out,
And this stage is full of nothing,
And the friends have all but gone,
- Take It
And on a different day
You'll get your chance you know
And on a different day
You'll find the path to go
Justify your prayers
I show you patience, you show me pain
I give you time, you're always late
- The Day I See You Again
Walking home from work tonight
Your letter warm
I'm holding tight
Said you want to see me soon
I phoned you late this afternoon
The bar we first met
Seems alive
- Unchained Monologue
I love you means do what I want you to
I promise means means I tell you what you want to hear
Believe me means I'm trying very hard to deceive you
The rest of my life means for the foreseeable future
We'll always be together means we're too scared to split up
I want us to live together means I think this is what you want,
- When You Say Goodbye
She's taking up the room in my head
Like all your rooms hook up with a bed
If you're happy with me and believe what I say
Be strong enough to let her walk away
Do you kiss her lips when you say goodbye?
And all of the people you've been with before
