Can't Nightstand It
01:51
|

|
Can’t nightstand it
And your mother said I planned it
I can’t even understand it
And your people tried to ban it
All the politicians know
Down the street in droves they go
Twenty televisions show
Everything they aren’t
Can’t nightstand it…

You’ve been around for five minutes
I drew a heart and put you in it
You write the words and I’ll sing it
He said
She said
You said
Me said
You’ve been alive for five minutes
I drew a heart and put us in it
If it’s a game, then we’ll win it

Round The Wrong Bend
01:32
|
|||
|
You met me round the wrong bend
You invented my girlfriend
You might worship my soul, son
You’re assuming I have one
You invested your bones, babe
Your inherited housemaid
Look for me in the wrong room
Wish on stars and a full moon

You girls are the worst girls
For me to be around…
I didn’t say it was love

Stuck in this occasion
You and your persuasion
Hey, how does your dad do?
Everything’s shit without you
Everything’s shit without you
Everything’s shit without you
Who to show your heart to?
Everything’s shit without you
Rise and fall in love day
Wow, what would your mom say?
Cats and rats and dogs do
Everything’s shit without you
Everything’s shit without you
Everything’s shit without you
Who to give your heart to?
Everything’s shit without you
Everything’s shit without you…

You And Me Both
01:17
|
|||
|
Head over heels
Screaming in pain
Fit as a fiddle
Right as the rain
Over the moon
Going insane
Pig in the middle
Goose in the rain
Quick off the mark
Slow to complain
Worn to a shadow
Grew in your brain
You and me both
Hard to explain
Tell me a riddle
Tell me your name

My baby’s waiting
My baby’s waiting for…
My baby’s waiting

My baby’s waiting
My baby’s waiting for a sign
My baby’s waiting
One of hers and one of mine

Drawing A Butterfly
01:32
|
|||
|
Draw me as a butterfly on you
So you don’t hurt yourself
Draw me a butterfly on you
Hope you don’t hurt yourself
You draw a butterfly on you
Please don’t hurt yourself
Drawing a butterfly on you
Don’t need to hurt yourself

Cameraman
01:57
|
|||
|
Cameraman, cameraman
You are not my cameraman…
Have to say I hate it here
Everything about this year
Disappoint and disappear
Rydell High on LA Gear
Ellesmere Port and ginger beer
Brookside Close is nowhere near
Dirty secrets loud and clear
What are we still doing here?

Head Around It

Well, you won’t change tunes
What you are
Wrapping your arms around it
Can’t get my head around it
Well, you won’t change tunes
Who you are
Wrapping your arms around it
Can’t get my head around it
Meaning no harm about it
Well, you won’t change tunes
How you are
Wrapping your arms around it
Can’t get my head around it
Meaning no harm about it
Hospital bed about it
Well, you can’t change tunes
Where you are

Telling two girls the same thing
Flower crowns and aching
All these things on top of you…
Telling two girls the same thing
Healing hearts are breaking
All these things inside of you…
Telling two girls the same thing
Super glued and shaking
All these things in front of you…

Want In The World
02:44
|
|||

You can go anywhere
You want in the world…
I see your face
In the place
You walk in the room
I see your face
In the place
Making fun too soon

Tell Jack The Ripper hi
Can’t even catch your eye
Tell Jack The Ripper hi
I can’t even catch your eye
Not grinding bones about it
Not drowning phones about it
Grinding bones about it
Drowning phones about it
Not grinding bones about it
Drowning phones about it…
Not grinding bones about it
Or drowning phones about it
Grinding bones about it
Drowning phones about it

Baby
Today is not your night
The skinny dogs don’t bite
Maybe
Baby
Today is not your night
The skinny dogs don’t bite
We live in borrowed light
Maybe
Baby
Today is not your night
The skinny dogs don’t bite
We live in borrowed light
So certainly, not might
Maybe

5:15 and you run for death
5:15 and you jump for death
Sick sweet teen and you come for death
Sick sweet teen and you jump for death
Flick knife life and you score for death
Flick knife life and you jump for death
Deep creep breath and you spy for death
Deep creep breath and you jump for death

I Lit A Fire

I lit a fire
Outside world blew it all away
I was big on a little day
I lit a fire
Outside world blew it all away
I was big on a little day
Leave the rest until yesterday
I lit a fire
Outside world was a lot the same
I was back at the start again
I lit a fire
Outside world was a lot the same
I was back at the start again
Dripping wet in the eighties rain
I lit a fire
Outside world was a shooting range
Normally not a little strange
I lit a fire
Outside world was a shooting range
Normally not a little strange
Now it’s only the names’ll change

Stalactite
02:25
|
|||
|
Why don’t you rebuild my body?
Why don’t you repair the bow?
Why don’t you return your library books?
Someone else can read them now…
And your mind is as sure as a stalagmite will
And your lips are as loose as a stalactite…
Lips are as loose as a stalactite…
Stalactite
‘Tite

I took a trip around the world
Wow
You held my breath and made me wait
Wow
There’s two of me live in the world
Wow
I was asleep, I’m wide awake
Wow
Underneath the lightening I wait now…

The Needles Never Stop
02:43
|
|||
|
The needles never stop
The takings off the top
The needles never stop
They give it all they got
The needles never stop
They’re running red and hot
I know
Oh, yeah…
The needles never stop
To take some off the top
To give it all you got
The needles never stop
Needles never stop
Drifting on the dot
The needles never stop
The needles never stop
Oh, yeah…

You Went Home
02:31
|
|||
|
Twenty
To thirty
Percent
To survive
In a ward
Like a prison
Where the light
Hurts your eyes
You went home
You can fly now
In the sun
Through the trees…
You went home
And you’re riding
The horses
You’re free…
