I'm gloomy as my oldest pair of shoes
I'm happy as the smile upon your face I'm drunk like a soldier after war I'm waiting like a gaoler on death row A quiet life with my wife is all I need for goodness sake The things I make they have no use but they have the most beautiful shape I'm dreaming like I've always had to dream I'm saying the things I want to say I'm losing all of my friends Should I keep the curtains drawn? A quiet life with my wife is all I need for goodness sake The things I make they have no use but they have the most beautiful shape |

It's good to be someone
It's good to be someone To feel like you belong Change your life today Change your world as well It's better than it sounds European me, It's good to be someone Sanitise your mind Leave the past behind Wallow in your pride Drive the tumbrel mile Your friends they are not mine They hold me down They hold me Down where you belong European me, It's good to be someone |

Something broke like an egg in my throat
Something stopped beating blood in my chest Forever gone, you are with me when I miss you Candlelight give me time to get things right Can you slow down? Can you slow down now? Slow down, slow down Can you slow down now My candlelight I was counting clouds in a clear blue empty sky I was skimming stones on a river the dam made dry Is it fair, you are here when I am long gone? Open your eyes, close the door and take what's yours Can you slow down? Can you slow down now? Slow down, slow down Can you slow down now My candlelight We die a lot and live a little |

Say you want to stay with me
Say you want to sail away Say you want to sail today Take me where I want to be This is where the truth can never hide Take me where my soul can never die I wanna stay alive I wanna stay alive I wanna do it with you I wanna stay alive Wanna do it for you I want to stay alive Show me all that I can be This is the oldest that I've ever been A ring to chain us day to day A mistake that every boy should make This is where the truth can never hide Take me where my soul can never die |

Tell me you will,
Tell me you won't, Tell me there's a freight train pulling a load Inside your hollow head Tell me a lie, Kiss me goodbye, Kiss me on the lips then kiss me all the way, All the way down below - And make it slow. I love your disguise, I love your blue eyes, I love you in the morning, I love you in the morning, I'm lovin' you all the way Everything's a cheap laugh, Everything's a cheap laugh, No fun drinkless, drugless, Happy emptiness Well maybe I love you? Sell me a life On the end of a knife, On the end of a knife Another boy's life In the heatwave of a crimewave As the life of a spy You're wondering why You got to do or die Die to do whatever I tell you to Tell me everything Everything you can, I can see through a wall with a poison pen, 'See you on the other side' Like a spy I can lie I can lie with the best I can change like a beat In a band that could never play |

Say you will be on with me
The cutest face of honesty Say you will be on with me To sleep beside me to help me be As I know you understand The downwards feelings of this man, As he sleeps besides his grave He's losing time all the time As I know you understand That all the horrors of all hell Can be experienced in one day A single day is all it takes I start each day with all the hope of my own life As each day begins to blur I end each day in despair You're brilliantly cute! Say you will be on with me The cutest face of honesty Say you will be on with me The cutest face of honesty All my friends they rarely see me Rarely see me as I am, As I am, I want to stay And the cutest things they just slip away, Just slip away Well do you want to try that? |

You are the sweetest thing
You're all that I need You lie between my belly and knees When you're gone, I am gone When you're near I can't speak When you leave, I feel left like a fork on a plate Oh dear My dear Yeah! I'm in love Sell me a coat I can wear And a comb for my hair I could dance you to death on a Friday night You leave my mouth open wide Lock my jaw and take me out I could dance you to death on a Saturday night Oh dear My dear Yeah! I'm in love |
