- Alice Springs
Freedom is an illusion generated by your brain
To deadly cut the words to ever explain
And love is the taste you get on the tip of your tongue
Better to have loved and lost
Than to have lived and never loved anyone
I'd stand in the line of fire for you
I'd bend over backwards for you
- Behind The Bunhouse
Did I strangle you with my love?
Think I saw it wrapped around your throat
The last time I saw you, you looked so pale
And white just like a ghost
It was fine for about 5 little minutes
And then you cleared your throat
My eyes swelled up, I curled my toes
And you said I almost choked
- Bubblegum
I'm always on the outside looking in
It's where I've always been
But the edge is where all the sparks fly
When the wheel spins
I swear someone is leaving messages for me
Under my feet
In bubblegum on the sidewalks of my street
On the sidewalks of my street
- Crosswords
Show me your teeth not the whites of your eyes
Don't look so suprised, it's all lies lies lies
You confront the issue
You dance with a tissue
You know that I missed you when you weren't around
You look like a dinosaur, yeah you're pretty hardcore
And thats why I love you more than any girl in town
And thats why I love you more than any girl in town
- Diamonds In The Dark
Looking back now I regret,
You're a promise that I never kept.
Waiting in my room in vain,
Time winds back and back again.
Outside the school gates,
We first met in a basement near the park
(Diamonds in the dark)
- Dreaming of Another World
It's the cheek of the ice to live or to die
riddle without a clue
i spend my days in a dreamy haze
thinking of what to do
When the sun comes down night
is all around
i shed my skin chain it on your ground
- Flakes
This song
Is one I never thought that I'd play
But if you want me gone
There are kinder ways to say
So long than spitting in my face
They don’t teach these things in school
They just lay down the rules which are there for you to break
- Flash a hungry smile
When you walk into the room,
then those cowboys swoon,
You're the spark that lights the gloom
And my heart sings.. to your tune.
I flash my hungry smile
and it makes you run a mile
Have you heard the birds and bees?
- Half In Love With Elizabeth
Some things are too painful to say out loud
Well, they live behind a veil and see through a shroud
Words fly through his mouth
Like paper butterflies
Well they flutter around and put holes in your side
And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you
- Hand Me Down
You get high cause you've got low self esteem
You toy with the boy on the football team
I've seen you all over him just like a rash
Come home in bruises but always take him back
(Do you love me?)
Maybe you do, maybe you don't
Maybe you will but maybe you won't
- he's half in love with elizabeth and he's half in love with you
Some things are too painful to say out loud
Well, they live behind a veil and see through a shroud
Words fly through his mouth
Like paper butterflies
Well they flutter around and put holes in your side
And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you
- Hideaway
I've been running around, running around
Don't make a sound, don't wanna get found
I've been hiding behind the blinds
But in my mind I don't wanna be that kind of guy
Running around, running around
Don't make a sound, don't wanna get found
I've been hiding behind the blinds
- Horse Drawn Cart
If you don't trust me i'll fall
I've wind in my sails
but the seas make me pale
and the floorboards are creaking below
Find me the oars
to row me to shores
- little bag of hair
Nintendo machines in hospitals are always broken
Chewing jay cloths relieves the pain from mouth ulcers
I've got a crush on a girl
But I'm gonna have to work on that
They say that being in the army makes you hard
But I don't know about that
Ice cream blender, pocket money spender
- Lorna Doone
There is blood on your hands
but I can't bear to see how it hangs
Like a millstone round your neck
Slowly dragging you down
What is worthing for?
If not the only one that I adore
Sometimes I hear you calling out in the night
But it only makes it hurt more
- Melt
There s an invisible line where your body meets mine and crossing it feels like a drug,
We twist and we turn, we crackle and burn in the flickering flames of our love.
As one soul divides, sends shivers up my spine and boils and bubbles my blood
Cause when you come around the house tonight darling,
There s just one thing I wanna do
Yer, when you come around the house tonight darling
There s just one thing I wanna do
- Petty Drone
Over-sexed, triple X, baby
Under-stimulated
Polarized, desensitized
And hyper-normalized
Stuck inside a simulation
Of your imagination
You can't cancel, change the channel
Or change the station
- scarecrows in the rain
What did I believe in?
How did I behave?
Recline on the bonnet of a battered old car
Fixed sheets of mirror plate on my electric guitar
Walking in bare feet on the shards of broken glass
Can a person be happy if you never see them laugh?
- Serotonin
Meet me in the middle of the morning
When the crows fly highest in the sky
Couldn't you hear me calling
I was out looking for you all night
Oh, but I never found you
No matter how hard I tried to
Oh no, I never found you
Sarah if only you knew
- Show Me the Light
So here we are in the dark
Does the day feel like a world apart
I start to come undone
When i'm living on the other side of the sun
But sometimes i feel that it's all too much to take
I look in the mirror but dont recognise my face
So show me the light
And tell me that things will turn out right
- Soluble In Air
To be the hero of my story
Forced are the events of my life
You're young, oh twice but once
Save my trouble
You struggle
You struggle
- Someone Purer
I was gripped with a bitter fear,
worried the one thing that I loved,
back when I was just a kid,
might now never be enough,
That the body I was in,
might belong to someone else, someone kinder, someone surer, someone
innocent,
young and beautiful, someone purer.
- Take Me Where the Roses Grow
You pick me up in the evening
I wear a disguise
I've been hiding out through the days
So I don't get caught in this web of lies
When I first saw you
You were cool as lemon eyes
You can make my blood run cold
- The Girl Is Gone
The girl is gone, the girl is gone
The girl is gone, the girl is gone
Exchanging love for an empty glass
A strangers touch and a strangers laugh
But when its gone and the night has passed
I want the thing that i cant touch
Fingerprints on a dusty wall
- too late to talk
You were the apple of my eye
[Incomprehensible]
Did you take me on for fun
Or did you take me for a ride?
Maybe we were a little young
Too young to know there was something wrong
But before I move along
- Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love,
With the girl next door
It's driving me crazy
I can't take it anymore
I hear her playing the drums late at night
The neighbours complain but thats the kind of girl I like
And maybe I should call her up
- Umbrellahead
They say if you leave a horse alone it dies
Nestles into the hay and shuts its eyes
Well I’ve dreamt of being that horse a hundred times
And I end up a pile of bones and a cloud of flies
And when you’re nine years old you don’t care
If your on your own or one of a pair
And when you get salt in your eyes, sand in your hair
Call for mom or daddy they’ll be there
- Veiled In Grey
It's in Estonia
It's up the creaky stairway
Deciding that we could share
You know the one we used to share
And it's just the kind of thing that we don't talk about anymore
Remember when your sister was young
She wore a ring in her tongue
- Waiting On a Miracle
Verse:
Do you Ever wonder
If the love that you are feeling,
Comes from the bottom
Of your heart or if your just dreaming?
Bridge:
I've gotta feeling,
- You Can't Fool Me Dennis
You can do anything you want
As long as it makes sense
You can do anything you want
As long as it makes sense
What a long haul it's been
My old and trusted friend
Don't think I'm being mean
- You Had Me At Hello
because I wanted to find my pistol.
I wanted to see what it would feel like to be invincible.
But a man I met said, boy you ain't seen nothing yet.
Let me take for a ride.
So I got in his truck and he took me to the mustang range.
I paid my 40 bucks to the girl at the window pane.
under the cover of darkness and behind my disguise
she said kid won't you come inside?
- young love
If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets
For the place that I once saw
If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the girl
