Baby Don't SweatNow and again I've got a lot to say
And I can't afford you this one
Oh yeah, she asks me where I'm going
Now and again I'll find a friend who knows
She asks me where I'm going
Oh yeah, she asks me where I'm going
Well if you're always in debt
Baby don't sweat
Back to the BoltholeYou follow Aurora and hope no-one saw you,
Peel back the screen door like everyone before,
Cartoons run on repeat in the room across the street,
So you go out to find her in some crappy roadside diner.
You’re a long long way from home.
And as the room goes cold you’re…
Be SafeOne of those fucking awful black days
When nothing is pleasing and everything that happens
Is an excuse for anger
An outlet for emotions stockpiled, an arsenal, an armour
These are the days when I hate the world
Hate the rich, hate the happy
Hate the complacent, the TV watchers
Cheat On MeI could be someone else if you’d rather
Try to win you over like a new step father
smart but still a sucker for whoever asks you
i pictured the scene
so you wont have to spell it out for me
cause things go together
better than others
City Of BugsIt came to me like a voice from above
Or like a message in praise of platonic love
And if you stand in the booth
Then you don't have to sit with a stranger
A perfumed gust drifts to my core
I give you one last look
Through a cross-hatched door
But I'm messed up baby
Come On, Be A No-OneCome on, I'll be a no one
For you
Got you wrong, it's not your fault
Sometimes I'd rather feel cheap
You can't keep suckling me
I was trying so hard to ejoy everything
That I ended up enjoying nothing
Serious I'm really well fed
Confident MenIt was a Parisian fluke, and what did I do?
Sat on a bollard and I did not move
Although I knew that...
That there is something I just can't pretend
Confident men and their unwelcome friends
Always win in the end
Always
Girls Like MysteryThere’s not much to say for me
its ok you know girls like mystery
They’ll know all the things I’ve read
That’s ok don’t necessarily make it bad
Leave me alone im just your enemy
I’ve seen it all I’ve seen your jealousy
I Should Have HelpedYou should take it back in no circumstance
I understand,
Remember the man on the street is wrong
again
I used to think I knew something that
No - one else knew
I was a fool
I'm a RealistI'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I'm an indecisive piece of shit
(I'm an indecisive)
I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I am indecisive and that's about it
I've Tried EverythingI was born in 'The Merrie City'
I've been trying to get out of it
Nothing's changed since the 1950's
I'm surprised all the time what I find out
There must be something more
Can't figure it out
It Was Only LoveWhy don't we take a walk?
Oh, you know there's no one to tell us no
Oh, because you can't regret something that you'll forget
And that's the beauty
I like you because you're strange
Oh, but you say that you need to change
Oh, but if I dress you like me, then you'll still never be
Last Year's SnowOh Glass Beach, you know nothing of me
And I sense no curiosity
Amuse yourself with feelings of how
Like Libra you're growing fainter now
Major's Titling VictoryThis is me talking about you I, I, I, I can't find time for her, oh no I, I, I, I can't find time for her, oh no And I, I, I, I can't find time for her, oh no I, I, I, I can't find time for her, oh no Because of M.T.

Men's NeedsHave you noticed i've never been impressed
by your friends from new york and london
i'll level accusations like the press
until you realise that you've dressed yourself in tatters
because the men's needs
men's needs
are full of greed

Moving PicturesYou'll sleep tonight
Dream dreams where I would die
It's alright, it's alright
They did not come true
Our Bovine PublicD'ya think I'd have to choose
D'ya think I'd wear brown shoes
D'ya think that I'd ever have to read about this in the news
You gonna have a go
Well I don't want to know
I just thought that I should try and say hello to those who'd
Never exist without being generic
PartisanUnder the Laurel arch to keep from getting wet
Fake fur is matted now from sitting on the steps
Pay-phone I couldn't hang up is gone now for a bank
But I can stand in the lobby and feel just how I felt
Well that's the thing that makes it right
Still calls to me from back then
God damn
Save Your SecretsYou are far more likely
To be devoured than empowered
By your sense of romance
Oh, doleful girl
Alone in the world
Where did her true love go?
Well I'd like to know
Shoot The PoetsCut off your nose to spite your friends
Breathing holes that will never end and
Speak all you want or just pretend
Cos you think she is a different class
So she sits all day by the looking glass, oh
It doesn't talk, it doesn't last
But it's not what I've heard you know
Stick To Your GunsGive him what he needs
Let him see what he sees
Let me feel how he feels
Leave him out to sea
It's alright by me
Let him stay in bed
Until he is fed up
The New FellasWhat's the point in compromise?
Get your dignity and leave
Don't be too abstract though
Cos I need a signal like you wont believe
You were always late but you always had a story
But that's not over wait!
You hardly even saw me
You would always say you're a different kind of boring
The Watch TrickAnd now I know in my mind
its time to feel round
cos that is the best way to deal this I find.
Oh I don't know
time goes so slow
and maybe its time to let go I don't know.
I know its not right
Now i must wake i know i must take you home.
Things You Should Be KnowingIt's been sometime since I first met you
Noone thinks about you more than I do
If you won't let me find you
How am I gonna get through
I was straight and acted like a fool
You were drunk and inbelievably cool
You won't find a friend who
Knows you like I do
We Share The Same SkiesA strange union the other day
It's a dead Russian, the papers say
But it would be nice if they realised
That she thought 'he is mine'
This town has got you down and I know
I was helping you out
While your hope died under northern skies and it shows
We Were AbortedIn the grey of yesterday
A breeze blew over exposing
A memory so small
What is it here for
Your virility, makes me forget empathy
Dig your hole
That's what we're here for
Women's NeedsIn a radius of a thousand miles
I find it strange no one makes me smile
You should understand
You still have to try
When we're all the same
I was almost right
You're Gonna Lose UsBy the time they lost him,
They'd realised he was a good lad.
He no longer goes to parties,
cos last time hurt bad.
Yeah they were all laughing,
Talking behind his back.
They said he'd been asking strange things like this
'Do you love me?' No
