Had It With You

Why so cynical at your desk?
Know that 19 tastes the best
Put the people to the test
When you’re wicked, get no rest
But I had it, had it, had it with you
And I had it, had it, had it with you
‘Cause I had it, had it, had it with you
Aw, I had it, had it, had it with you
Think you’re drowning, think you should
Gotta check if the sea feels good
Still you’re sinking in the mud
Only good girls guess they would
Heart of stone or a heart of gold
All the best boys all got sold
How’s the hottest kiss so cold?
How’s the youngest get so old?

Sad Magic
01:25
|
|||
|
There goes love again
Never took off her coat again
Hardly got her lips wet again
Time to take the cab back again
It’s just a sad magic…

Alright Girl
02:33
|
|||
|
I’m an alright girl
I can dance okay
I make minimum wage
In a maximum way
Had it up to here
With the down to earth
You won’t feel a thing
If I see you first
I’m an alright girl
I can smile okay
Call me Sally Ann
Call me Amber May
I’ll take less for cash
Seeing as it’s you
Swap my burning brown
For your little blue

You don’t need no doctor
I don’t need no doctor
All the pictures of me
Are covered in you
You don’t need this friction
I don’t need this friction
All the pictures of me
Are covered in you
You can see your sister
I can’t see your sister
All the pictures of me
Are covered in you
I don’t need no doctor
You don’t need no doctor
All the pictures of me
Are covered in you

Wednesday lover
What sugar you into?
Wednesday lover
What sugar you into?
Wednesday lover
Took sugar to spike my mind
Slow down
My hands are shaking
Slow down
My bones are breaking
Slow down
The time you’re taking
Slow down
The mess you’re making
Slow down
The earth is quaking
Slow down
The girl is faking
Slow down
She should be waking
Slow down
Slow down

Separate Ways
03:07
|
|||
|
Oh, separate ways
She’s leaving in seven days
Oh, seven days
We’re going our separate ways
I’d sworn we’d got it right
Got robbed in broad daylight
Her ties had got too tight
Those wrongs were more than right
I’d gladly lose the fight
We broke up every night
It weren’t no pretty sight
Free fall from dizzy heights
Cut slowly to the quick
I hate her favourite trick
Said sweetness made me sick
Dismantled brick by brick

Muddle My Mind
01:58
|
|||
|
Into the orphanage
Onto the rusty bridge
Food in the factory fridge
Muddle my mind
He kept it spick and span
She was his look-out man
Walk where the movie ran
Shudder sometimes
Skinning the sausages
Scatter the oranges
Thatching the cottages
Splatter my mind
He weren’t the one who can
She was his tally man
They hate their only fan
Stutter sometimes

Death In The Rain
02:41
|
|||
|
To wait for what won’t come
One heart, one beat, one drum
To feel like death in the rain
To die, to live in vain
In vain…
We wait for what won’t come
Two hearts - one broke, one numb
We feel like death in the rain
Could live, could die in vain
I wait for what won’t come
One boy, one dad, one mum
I look like death in the rain
You kill, I live in vain

Wild Heather
01:38
|
|||
|
Warming my wings on a cold letter
Buckled my bike in the wet weather
Cocoon yourself inside a soft sweater
Tame my Mia in the wild heather
(Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ahh…)
Riding to work on a red setter
Gray tickled pink with a white feather
Calling your dealer if you’re no better
May vacations at the end of my tether

Since Ginny Jumped In
02:33
|
|||
|
I don’t wanna see you
Since Sadie sunk in
I don’t wanna love you
Since Sadie sunk in
I don’t wanna buy one
Since Sadie sunk in
I don’t wanna keep one
Since Sadie sunk in
I don’t wanna taste it
Since Freddy fell in
I don’t wanna touch it
Since Freddy fell in
I don’t wanna know that
Since Freddy fell in
I don’t wanna think that
Since Freddy fell in
I don’t wanna live here
Since Ginny jumped in
I don’t wanna sleep here
Since Ginny jumped in
I don’t wanna go there
Since Ginny jumped in
I don’t wanna don’t care
Since Ginny jumped in

She Comes To Me In Debt
01:27
|
|||
|
Halfway round the block
You can still go back
Blood has not run black
Sun’ll fade the tracks
Tightening round my neck
She comes to me in debt
Whispers me to sleep
She got her hooks in deep
Last seen losing bets
She ain’t come out yet
Promise I can’t keep
Promises this week

Ghost Train
02:16
|
|||
|
I’m on the ghost train
Where they put insecurity first
Riding the ghost train
Where the drivers are the worst
We’re on the ghost train
And I laugh at nobody’s jokes
Catching the ghost train
Only hopes of going for brokes
You’re on the ghost train
Where they welcome the worst of the lot
Jumping the ghost train
Where the guard very nearly got shot
There on the ghost train
And it starts at the end of the line
Taking the ghost train
I’m invisible and I feel fine

Like No Other
02:17

You love your heart
You love your mother
And you’ve done so much
For your sister’s brother
You make beds
Like no other
Too tall to take
We’re half-awake
Wondering what you are
You love your heart
You love your mother
And you take after
Your father’s brother
You broke backs
Like no other
You love your heart
You love your mother
And you’ve done so much
With your sister’s brother
We bang heads
Like no others
