A humdrum tuesday morning
when nothing's any good i try to get to work but i can't get out of this mood a dreary friday evening my friends are all in town i plan to join them later but my blues are still around don't wanna waste my time on crying things that you say won't tear me down what can i do when you've been lying i can't be bothered by those memories spare me the sordid uncouth details the image is vivid in my mind i needn't fantasize to picture the love we had was ruined too soon you'd woo me with your lovesong you'd tempt me with your eyes you'd send me reeling high above into orange coloured skies you'd play on your piano you wrote me poetry with lovey-dovey metaphors all leadin' back to me don't wanna go back to the old days when love used to blind me every day guess i was lost inside your love maze but now the air is clear enough to see i was all dressed up with nowhere to go you had me from the start you had me from hello but now i'm free to fly away into a brand new lovely day i'm leaving you behind spare me the grungy grimy details the image is lifelike as it is i can see you and him before me the love we had was rudely traded in spare me the sordid uncouth details the image is vivid in my mind i needn't fantasize to picture the love we had was ruined oh, can't you see it's ruined the love we had was ruined too soon |

i'm ushered in by the maitre d'
his tone of voice don't appeal to me i've lost my glimmer and my flair i miss our star - crossed love affair when i sleep at night i twist and turn and i dream about your sweet return 'cause i don't need a lot if i got you there's nothing i can do without you we talk and drink cheap chardonnay let's skip dessert , let's get on our way my life was grey and out of tune you make me sway , you make me swoon when i sleep at night i twist and turn and i dream about your sweet return 'cause i don't need a lot if i got you there's nothing i can do without you without you without you without you i'm nothing without you when i sleep at night i twist and turn and i dream about your sweet return you're the real mccoy , you're bona fide you send me reeling on a carpet ride when i sleep at night i twist and turn and i dream about your sweet return 'cause i don't need a lot if i got you there's nothing i can do without you nothing i can do without you |

Just What I Need
headdaches pass heartaches naver do they hang around and wait for someone new someone naive enough to believe this time it's for real break-ups hurt time and time again there's just no way of getting used to them makes it harder to believe next time it's for real [chorus] baby you're just what i need just what i want while i know for a fact that it won't last long you'd better get out while you still can the city sleeps but i stay up all night i sing along to bluesy heartbreak songs makes it harder to believe next time is for real [chorus] but if you're not impressed with a broken heart i suggest you stay though it might seem i have lost all hope i've got nothing left to lose i can easily be persuaded and fall in love with you [chorus] i'd better keep trying while i still can |

We'd be fantastic at parties and such
bleached smiles and cocktails and that elegant touch so empty and hollow refreshingly sad I'd love to see it all but I'd rather keep you in my bed rich girls from moscow incredibly tanned their bright coloured slingbacks become vapid and bland so twisted but charming so scantily clad I'd love to see it all but I'd rather keep you in my bed millionaires with marble stairs in cannes or beirut long-time friends who've never met making comments on my suit so jaded and lovely so deviously mad I'd love to see it all But I'd rather keep you in my bed wedding gowns and golden crowns in rome or vermont I can't endure this haute couture it's just not what i want no jewelry no cufflinks with a dandy-esque style I'd love to have it all I'm sure we'd have a ball in namibia or nepal I'd love to see it all but i'd rather keep you in my bed |

when Jody smiles the room lights up with fine white stardust
and limelight seems to beam out of her eyes she doesn't seem to notice but she doesn't need to she's had her share of compliments and lies (she says) come turn off your radio and let's go dancing we're far too young to sit at home all night what's the use of sleeping when we're in this city that tries to stay awake with all its might 'cause life just feels so breezy, so comfortable and easy this sad and sullen winter night seems tropical and bright like champagne coloured drops of neon light these streets are paved with melodies and treasured pleasures let's make the snowflakes melt before they fall no agonizing painful hardships left to conquer no traumatizing childhood to recall come turn off your radio and let's go dancing there's far too much to see to stay inside what's the use in sleeping when the world could crumble so just sit back and please enjoy your ride 'cause life just feels so breezy, so comfortable and easy this sad and sullen winter night seems tropical and bright like champagne coloured drops of neon light (간주중) 'cause life just feels so breezy, so comfortable and easy this sad and sullen winter night seems tropical and bright like champagne coloured drops of neon light 'cause life just feels so breezy, so comfortable and easy this sad and sullen winter night seems tropical and bright like champagne coloured drops of neon light |

A Distant Melody
a gloomy sky above me a puddle on the ground but something's gotta change 'cause there's no sunshine to be found my vision is obscured by these endless murky clouds but something's gotta change right now i can hear a faraway sound i can hear a distant melody oh how it clings to me on this lovely summer night my ears are captured by its harmony it's like a symphony with a theme so pure and light a churchbell rings and that soulful trumpet sings of lovers lost and found listen closely you can hear it roar a soothing swinging tune with a melody in c can you hear that distant melody oh how it sends me reeling makes my heart take flight my technicolour ragtime band joins in makes all my troubles vanish into the pitch - dark night this upbeat tune's got me flying to the moon sending shivers down my spine a churchbell rings and that soulful trumpet sings of lovers lost and found listen closely you can hear it roar a soothing swinging tune with a melody in c oh what a melody oh what a melody in c |

Why this silence?
Is it good? Is it bad? Or just silence? All the flowers have died and it's over 'cause nothing's any good I feel restless All my dreams are enveloped by sadness And my sweet memories are in paris When everything was good When you sang your song to me How i longed to be in your arms Now i can't believe your lies And your treacherous charms And i listen to the silence out here How i listen Maybe you'll reappear when it's over 'cause nothing's any good |

I walked around for hours in the pourin' rain
I never thought I'd get used to this pain my feet are hurtin' but inside I'm calm and clear oh how I want you to be near this part of town reminds me of sunny afternoons my favourite tin pan alley tunes your eyes so shiny the sunlight on your skin imagine how grand it could have been it could have been more than a silly fling I would have bought you flowers, anything but you just called me up and called things off that's not my interpretation of love my friends all told me that you're not not the one for me but I fell in love so foolishly my heart kept skippin' when we used to kiss I never thought this could exist this part of town will always be a part of you and me those summernights in `93 your morning kisses just lingered on my lips imagine how grand it could have been i don't believe in fairytales or romance novels dear but all those things I used to say were honest and sincere so let's bring out the gospel choir and cue the violins cuz that's how grand it could have been |

Would You
If I told you a secret, something I wouldn’t normally do Something people might frown upon Would you If I kissed you discretely Would it mean you’d laugh in my face Would you tell me I’m going crazy Would you Sideway glances to no avail Opportunities that are destined to fail The love that I’ve tried to hide Won’t accept it’s secret hiding place Won’t accept it’s dying without a trace Without ever having shown itself to you Would you It’s impossible to drive you away from my dreams Even if I had a chance I wouldn’t Would you This longing buried inside So much more than a mere and mortal sin What’s the use in never knowing what could’ve been If I came around then, would you let me in Would you |
