Sweet Stare
02:22
|
|||
|
She looks round 'till her eyes are locked
On the boy who isn't being rocked
In the cradle made for two
I've got a love that's made for me and you
Take a look, you're sure to find
Another guy that you wouldn't have in mind
Now I'm standing everywhere
Trying to steal another sweet stare
Start playing and showing off
Can you tell me is she looking over
Please tell me, is she looking over here
Sit down for a game or two
I just happen to be sitting next to you
Start talking and forget your name
Now we're playing a completely different game
Take a look, you're sure to find
Another guy that you wouldn't have in mind
Now I'm standing everywhere
Trying to steal another sweet stare
Start smoking and showing off
Can you tell me is she looking over
Please tell me, is she looking over here
Wake up and it's time to go
I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye
Start walking and talking shit
Now don't believe me I'll be sober in a bit
No don't believe me I'll be sober in a bit

Go To Guy
02:47
|
|||
|
So I watch the mess unfold
This pattern is now getting old
I act modest and then retreat
Back to my room, back to my seat
Knowing that the time is near
You will soon be coming hear, come on
Shed shit upon my back
Shit is all I never lack
Cause if you need to cry, yeah I'm your guy
Just call on me cause I'm always free
No I don't need to know no more
But just still come down to my open door
My room is such a comforting place
When you've got a sad look upon your face
I'm the go to guy
It happens often, yeah that's my luck
Everybody thinks that I give a fuck
Suppose I do, yeah you're my friend
I just wish I knew your story from the other end
And yeah I know that your feeling bad
But don't phone her now it'll make her sad
I don't mind to console and sit
But realise it's my heart with a hole in it
Still if you need to cry, yeah I'm your guy
Just call on me cause I'm always free
No I don't need to know no more
But just still come down to my open door
My room is such a comforting place
When you've got a sad look upon your face
I'm the go to guy
So if you need to cry, yeah I'm your guy
Just call on me cause I'm always free
No I don't need to know no more
But just still come down to my open door
My room is such a comforting place
When you've got a sad look upon your face
I'm the go to guy

A Bit Of Your Happiness
02:10
|
|||
|
I'm lonely's only friend
Getting tired of holding my hand out
For the chance that I can lend
A bit of your happiness
It's such a pretty sight
Smiling, laughing
As your construct reaches yet another height
A bit of your happiness
I'd like to say I'm glad
I truly am, yes I am
It's just something I have never had
A bit of your happiness
It's such a pretty view
Smiling, laughing
As cupid floats above the two of you
A bit of your happiness
It's getting real now
Time is passing, harassing
Ain't no stopping it, but I know how
A bit of your happiness
It's such a pretty sight
Smiling, laughing
As your construct reaches yet another height
A bit of your happiness

Grown Man's Shoes
03:02
|
|||
|
Grown man's shoes are here
It's time for change
The things that you hold near
May now start to rearrange
Like a bag in the breeze
I was floating with ease
Not a soul on my case
I was walking with grace before
But the grown man's shoes are here
So you can't be here anymore
Grown man's shoes are coming
You'll have to go
They say that you've grown older
Now it's time for me to know
Grown man's shoes are knocking
Upon my door
No more restraining now
You know what they are here for
I understand you feel
That it's sure unkind
When I don't
Reflect the image in your mind before
But the grown man's shoes are here
So I can't be him anymore
And although my feet are steady
Upon the ground
My grown man's shoes ain't walking
Me to places we had found
Like a bag in the breeze
I was floating with ease
Not a soul on my case
I was walking with grace before
But the grown man's shoes are here
So you can't be here anymore
Yes the grown man's shoes are here
So you can't be here anymore

Silence
03:02
|
|||
|
Talks confusing, I never quite know what to say
Just laugh softly and everything should be okay
Ain't no structure, just wildly pointless
Exchanges of sound
That always come back around
I don't know you, yet hear we are shooting the breeze
Set my targets though all of the bullets will freeze
Sit and listen till things become quiet
I'm sorry I've got to go
Somewhere with so and so
Stand and smile, I leave the room
Topics appear
Sifting through them is pointless
Cause no one is here
Talks confusing
I much prefer silence
I much prefer silence
I only want silence

I Don't Know
02:14
|
|||
|
I don't know what I wanna do
I don't know what I wanna be
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know, we'll just have too see
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, do you
Ever more suspicion grows
Is it time that I stop and decide for me
Or for others I suppose
I don't know what I have in mind
I don't know what I have elsewhere
I don't know what I have in mind
Nothing else but you in there
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, tell me
What am I suppose to say
Is it time that I stop and decide for me
Or just keep living day by day
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, it's true
I know I've gotta grow up fast
Is it time that I stop and decide for me
If I do it's for you and it'll last

America
02:17
|
|||
|
Packed bags in a pile lying on the floor
Clothes and essentials
For the trip that he bit his lip
To keep a secret
Held tight in the palm of his hand
A ticket to somewhere new
Just sitting and waiting on tomorrow's flight
They don't know where he's going to
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Popped out for a little stroll
The town he does revere
It won't be bothering him no more
He's got plans to disappear
Got back, was surrounded by worried eyes
On the same old faces
Never heard so many words before
Now they're guarding each and every door
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Sunrise won't just hurt his eyes
He should be so far away
But mum and dad had to stop the show
And I can't understand why I can't go today
Seemed like a good idea at the time

Back Of The Line
03:02
|
|||
|
I've said some stupid things before
Judged me there and then for sure
But oh lord you couldn't help me
So I'll spend me time
At the back of the line
Thinking long and hard for days
Considering so many ways
That I could get to know you
But I'll waste my time
At the back of the line
Back of the line
I own the night, the night it mine
Seriously though I'm fine
Neither one of your could read me
So I'll spend me time
At the back of the line
The moon is out and I'm alone
Another day is yet to roam
Looking forward to tomorrow
I can waste my time
At the back of the line
Back of the line
You set me up so you could hear
All of my terror disappear
Not long before I fuck it up
And get reflection time
At the back of the line
So if you ever look for me
You'll know exactly where I'll be
Tracking down my quiet footprints
Till the end of time
To the back of the line

Are You Alright?
02:27
|
|||
|
Knock, knock, knock
On the door, it is locked
Here a shuffle then a creak
Hello there
Sit and stay
I have plans for today
But I'll put them away
For a while
Chit and chat
About this and that
I have counted
Nine empty bottles
Laugh and joke
As you cough and choke
On the cigarette
In your hand
Are you alright?
Are you alright?
Are you alright?
You look as if
You haven't slept a wink
And that maybe something
Might have happened
Slurred your words
As you poured a new glass
Man it's two, just half past
In the afternoon
Stand and smile
I'll call you in a while
You look as if you need the company
Take it easy
And have a quiet day
Please remember what I say, okay
Are you alright?
Are you alright?
Are you alright?
Are you alright?
You're not alright!
You know that right?

Obliviously
03:03
|
|||
|
What right you do might I do wrong
What make you be take me too long
Already won before you
Daren't even try
Confusing happiness
With things that you can buy
Silly you
Don't be obliviously lucky
Obliviously
What right you do might I do wrong
What make you be take me too long
Get yourself those shiny things
That you saw on the tv
The kind of things that'll be outdated
Within about a month or three
Don't be obliviously lucky
Obliviously
If I was you
I would begin too
Acknowledge and appreciate
What you've got
Don't be obliviously lucky

Recycled Days
03:04
|
|||
|
I watch the weeks fly by
And fade into the rest
Recycled days repeat
With little interest
Wake up and go to sleep
Do something in between
Of no importance
Stay in accordance please
Recycled days, familiar ways
I'll remember yesterday's tomorrow because I know
I'll be doing the same thing
Cause you'll be doing the same thing too
I watch the minutes melt
And hours drift away
On same old conversations
Every single day
Why should I listen
If you have nothing to say
That's of importance
It's not important to me
Recycled days, familiar ways
I'll remember yesterday's tomorrow because I know
Well I'll be doing the same thing
Cause you'll be doing the same thing
And he'll be doing the same thing
Cause she'll be doing the same thing
Well they'll be doing the same thing
So lets keep doing the same thing too

Talking For Two
03:00
|
|||
|
I'm sorry if occasionally
I seem distracted
It's not my fault
I know that kind of sounds stupid
I don't mean to ignore you
It just kind of happens sometimes
I don't mean to be distant
Start to stare, forget where the hell I am
Talking for two
Try not to ask me where I go
It's not important
It's not my fault I know
That kind of sounds stupid
Think of something funny, oh yeah
Think of something sad
I don't mean to ignore you
Start to stare, forget where the hell I am
Talking for two

Expect From Me
03:22
|
|||
|
Expect from me all that you can
I'm sure that you'll be pleased
Just give my mind time to expand
Then I'll be happy to appease
Soon I'll catch you on the street
But I won't say a word
I'll just watch you walk away
Into the dream another day
Once I've come to terms with your
Endearment
You'll be off with some other guy
And it'll be too late, it'll be too late for me
You knew not to say it
You did it instead
I have to be someone else to get ahead
(I'm not anyone, if I'm not everyone)

Stephanie

Stephanie, look at me
And tell me how you feel
I regret to assume that it's no longer real
I regret to assume that it's no longer real
Stephanie, truthfully
The feelings I bare
Complacency has kidnapped what we use to share
Complacency has kidnapped what we use to share
Stephanie, Open up
And tell me what you see
I regret to assume that it might not be me
I regret to assume that it's no longer me
Stephanie, Stephanie
Stephanie, Stephanie

If You Could See Me Now
03:34
|
|||
|
If you could see me now
Would you like what you see
After all you were me
And I was you
If you could see me now
Would you wanna try harder in school
Would you wanna be in with the cool kids
In with the fool kids
If I could talk to you
I wouldn't know what to say
It only seems like yesterday
That I was you
If you could see me now
Would you tell me to cut my hair
Get a job and a girl oh yeah
Or would you do it yourself
If you could see me now
Would you like who your gonna be
Would you jump at the chance to see your friends
The chance to see your friends and family
If I could talk to you
I wouldn't know what to say
It only seems like yesterday
That I was you
I don't remember you
You didn't predict me

Dayton, Ohio (1903)
01:46

Let's sing a song of long ago
When things were green and moving slow
And people stop to say hello
Or they'd say hi to you
Would you like to come over for tea
With the missus and me
It's a real nice way
To spend the day
In Dayton, Ohio
On a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903
Let's sing a song of long ago
When things could grow
And days flowed quietly
The air was clean and you could see it
And folks were nice to you
Would you like to come over for tea
With the missus and me
It's a real nice way
To spend the day
In Dayton, Ohio
On a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903
