Sunday dates
Ain't enough for everyone
The wrist watch tick
And the sums all equal none
A drop of hurt
In a sea of lonely love
Oh, please come quick
I'm the lowest you're above
Don't let your daydreams let you down
She's the queen of hearts somehow...
Sunday dates
Never last forever
And the idiots say
How you're so clever
Girl adrift on a blue wave
Wait for me
Telltale hearts
Are betraying what they're saying
Like you're the only lonely one...
Who's the lowly only son?

Baby Love
02:44
|

|
I know when I wake up and wait for the time
That she takes just to drive me insane
That sometimes you just gotta do what you must
Just to do it all over again
And I know when you're not here with me
There's that chance I might be someone you say I'm not
Back then, the hope's all we had
And I know that I'm glad you're the girl that I got
Oh baby love
Whoa - oh - baby
Is it ever gonna be the same?
Oh baby love
Whoa - oh - baby
It ain't ever gonna be the same
Now the light in your eyes shines a little less bright
And the dark side of me just don't care
But you know that the be-all and end-all of everything
Just has to be that we're there
Got a hot-line to somewhere - I can't turn it off
And I guess that's the price I must pay
Cross another one off the list
Never wanted for this - never asked for today

Crybaby (Again)
03:32

Well, I'm tangled up in you
And I don't know what to do
Always thought I'd thought it through
Still I can't stand up to you
I'll be broken, that's a fact
As you perfect your act
You'd do well to remember that, yeah
Now I'm just a casualty
Of everything I used to be
Yeah, you got your sympathy
Stuck at being 23
But I know you'll let go
Crybaby
So I'm tangled up with you
Say you don't know what to do
Well, what good will talking do
When I can't do it with you?
And I'm broken, that's a fact
By all the love we lacked
You'd do well to remember that, yeah
So what is it you want from me?
Is it what I used to be?
Everything you meant to me
Counts for nothing if you couldn't see

Silver Rain
03:38
|
|||
|
When you fall
I wanna catch you, darlin'
And nothing at all
Can finish what we started
Out on the edge
Of falling in love, he said
Out on the edge
Of falling in love, she said
Here we go again
In the silver rain
I can taste the pain
In the silver rain
Here we are again
In the silver rain
I'll take all the blame
In the silver rain
Hold out your hand
For some assistance, maybe?
And I can't stand
The slightest distance, baby
I'm on the edge
Of falling in love, he said
I'm on the edge
Of falling in love, she said

Rock-A-Bye Baby
03:38
|
|||
|
Rock-a-bye baby, rock...
When my thoughts turn back to you
When the August sky was blue
Always chasing for the new
Never knowing what to do
Halloween and Guy Fawkes' Night
Fireworks and fading light
For a lover, you sure fight
C'mon, try me, I just might

Nowhere For A While
03:12
|

|
I don't need my glass
But sometimes my glass needs me
And you're wanted in Heaven
Got a date with destiny
But they sold you too much
It's all become a crutch
Sure could use some help now, baby, please
Think I'm going back to nowhere for a while...
Meet me at the airport
I'll be the one behind the obstacles
I made my living
From ups and downs and push and pulls
But I've taken too much
It's all become a crutch
Sure could use your help now, baby, please

Dim Stars
05:12
|
|||
|
Hold your lover
In your hand
Catch him falling
Like egg time sand
Not trying to change
Not trying to change
Not trying to change your mind...
Five & Dime-style dim stars waiting
Luv ya, darlin'
Better than me
Five & Dime-style dim stars waiting
Luv ya, baby
Better than me
If you're walking
On The Avenue
Hope you're not hurting
Honey, like I do

Please, God, let her be the only one
We'll say sorry for everything we done
Mustn't miss each other
See each other
Hold each other tight
What kinda world is this
Where wrong's becoming right?
Hayley Jane
I saw your face again
I'm just dreaming
Not looking to make friends
Almost found each other
Way back when
So ashamed
There's no need to explain
Hayley Jane
I was lied to by the Autumn wind
She saw beauty in the dullest things

Sweet To Say
03:40
|
|||
|
I see faces
I think I knew
I see traces
Of me and you
And AM bounced off low clouds
Further than far
Couldn't make your Mum proud
Of who you are
With her hair up, falling down
She's so sweet to say
But the big news in your town's
Just you and me today
Let 'em tear up what they found
We'll start all over again
Leave it trodden in the ground
Stuck with your second name
I'm becoming
What I've done
Chase you running
Into the sun
But you left me in the shit when I needed you
And I did, too
Bet she'd have a fit if she ever knew
Her half was true

Ten Minutes More
03:32
|
|||
|
Jesus round your neck
Talking to me
Told me what to do
Oh, what to do?
Little bits of love
Been holding hands with you
Little bits of love
Been making friends with you
Ten minutes more...
Queens on five pound notes
Laughing at me
Been used to it by now
Oh, bye bye now
