The Last Thing
03:33
|
|||
|
Won't you tell me what to do?
I don't want to fight with you
Tune me in to something new
If it's the last thing that you do
I'm not here, just passing through
Sing the words I wrote for you
I'll show you how much is true
If it's the last thing that I do
Someone show me what to do
I don't want to fight with you
Just do what you wanted to
If it's the last thing that you do

The Answer In Your Eyes
04:34
|
|||
|
You say you feel it's all forgotten
It's all just in my mind
So what's all this I find?
You say I've always forgotten
What I left behind
So why these warning signs?
But I know I can change
I can try
I can find
The answer in your eyes
I can fight
To make it all okay
To find the words to say
It's only you, always
You say the years are all between us
It's all just in my mind
It's better off behind
You say you wish you had an answer
You wish all this could change
You want your time again

She Said
03:26
|
|||
|
She said to me, she wants someone to talk to
She said to me, how everything is wrong
All that she can see, is what she thinks she wants to
All I've ever been's an actor all along
And I'm sorry it's so tedious to you
And I'm sorry I'm so meaningless to you...
Sticks and stones might break my bones
I'll see you be the death of me
All alone's not what we chose
Can't you see the rest of me?
She said to me, I need someone to talk to
She said to me, she wished we were the same
Everything I see, is what I think I want to
Everything to me, is reaching her again

Gonna Get To You
05:17
|
|||
|
It's never easy to protect a memory of you
I never ever did expect anything from you
Never as simple as saying some words
Never as simple as school
If ever there's anything you ever need
Anything I need is you
Will we be ever be walking together?
Will we ever be talking forever?
Gonna get to you...
It's never easy letting go of a memory of you
But all I ever wanted was a little part of you
Never as simple as writing some words
Never as simple as school
But there's a piece of you stuck inside me
And I don't know what to do

Cotton Wool
04:10
|
|||
|
He sees her in her street clothes
Black to match her eyes
An open book where he knows
The ending's no surprise
All he ever wanted was a memory of you
You let everything get on top of you
He wants to wrap her up in cotton wool
Find a bed to rest your head
Somewhere when the world is full
A special place to hide your face
She thought she coulda made it
When all the past had gone
But she couldn't save it
Now innocence is gone
I see you in your street clothes
Black to match your eyes
Can you guess which words I wrote
I knew were only lies?

On Your Own
06:54
|
|||
|
If you thought this was the time
And you thought the time was now
If you're always asking why
You're always thinking how
You're not the only one
You're never on your own
Don't be the only one
Don't take it on your own
Before you felt the pain
Before I saw your face
Before I feel the same
Before you know your place
When there was nothing here
And nothing came to you
Before you disappear
Be sure you've thought it through

Fade Away
07:40
|
|||
|
Will I see you again?
Could it ever be the same?
Through the rivers of flowing rain
Will I see you again?
Does the world still know your name?
Are you drowning in your pain?
Could you love me just the same?
Will I see you again?
Can you touch the sun in the sky?
Can you feel the rain, does it make you cry?
Don't you ever stop, ask yourself why?
That you're just so weak that you're gonna die?
Who's the one who believed in you?
Who's so mixed up that he don't know what to do?
Who's the one who fell for all the lies?
Who's the one who always tried?
Now it's coming round again
That old familiar pain
Trapped in the place where our hearts lay
All I can do is fade away

Let's All Make Friends
02:31
|
|||
|
Let's all make friends
It's all gonna be alright
And I'll tell you something
Gonna tell you something
I can't pretend
It don't keep me up all night
And I'll show you something
Gonna show you something
Why can't you just make friends?
Wish we could just be friends
Let's all make friends
Message to send:
"It's all gonna be alright"
Let me tell you something
Gotta tell you something
'Cause in the end
Two wrongs just don't make a right
Let me show you something
Gotta show you something

Same Bus Home
02:54
|
|||
|
Look at me from your picture frame
I'll never be the same again
And I feel myself losing control
Meet me on the same bus home...
I'll never get there alone
So look at me from your picture frame
You'll never come this way again

Well, the stars fell on Sally Brown
And everyone else wants to put her down
Stay with me until it's time to go
Whoah-oh-oh
Whoah-oh-oh
Well, it's too late now to talk tonight
And it's getting so's we just fuss and fight
Won'tcha stay with me until it's time to go?
Whoah-oh-oh
Whoah-oh-oh
Every night I been lying awake 'til you go
Now you might be flying away so solo
So the stars fell on Sally Brown
And no one else in this nowhere town
Stay with me until they miss you so
Whoah-oh-oh
Whoah-oh-oh
Well, what's so wrong to make it right?
You nearly died - you know I might
Stay with you until it's time to go
Whoah-oh-oh
Whoah-oh-oh

Lost Cause
02:30
|
|||
|
Tied my name to a balloon to let go
It don't even matter
If the boy rings, tell him: "Hello"
It don't even matter
Pin your hope to a lost cause
Next month's rent on a nowhere horse
The liars and their laws
'll catch you if they can, of course
Carved your name into a desk at your school
It don't even matter
Did your best just to break all the rules
It don't even matter

Watercolour Lane

|

|
Change your name to someone else today
Won't let you make the same mistakes I made
Whatever you do - just don't turn out like me
So much worse than you could ever see
I'll always look for you somewhere
My little one with daisy hair
Just wanna breathe in time with you
Through all the dreams that don't (won't) come true
Walk with me down Watercolour Lane
Ain't gonna see my face round here again
Just crinkle up your nose into a smile
I'm going back to nowhere for a while

Hazel Eyes
03:46
|

|
Changed the names as the almost-innocent
Drift unanchored out to sea
Call her name, she's not woke up properly yet
Always somewhere else to be
It's not enough to hurt you (your)
Hazel eyes...
I ain't twisting anybody's arm
Gotta get there on your own
Always promise to keep you safe from harm
We can make this house a home

Pretty
03:20
|
|||
|
Tell the time to make my way
Wish I'd stayed at home today
Dressed up in powder blue
With your little angel watching you
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay
And it came and took your boys away
All it took was just one girl
To come and shake up my little world
You're so pretty
In New York City
You're so pretty
All alone
You're so pretty
In Dublin City
You're so pretty
Take me home
So you found you'd lost your band
Silver spilt and burnt your hands
Dressed up in powder blue
With the whole wide world watching you
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay
And it came and took your boys away
Only wish I'd thought it through
Only wish I'd talked to you

Damage
04:00
|

|
The world and his wife knows how lucky you are
To become someone on your own
I can remember before you were born
Takes me to tears every time
Hit me with your damage every time
Hit me with your damage this time
Look at them all in the Tower of London
Watch how they fall in the Tower of London
Look in my face in the Tower of London
Hey, you, hey, me, in the Tower of London
Tap water tears as she swung on her heels
And she won't even ever look back
Left all alone in the red danger zone
Takes me to tears every time

Rag Tag Girl
03:21
|

|
Rag tag girl, it goes so slow
Time it takes to come and go
I stopped playing
When it stopped being fun
Felt as like you'll
No longer run
Rag tag girl, it's over now
Since the teacher taught us how

Got the same kinda innocent eyes as she...
Ten to six
Five past three
Got the same kinda emerald eyes as she...
Six foot six
Five foot three
Got the same kinda elegant eyes as she...
