It's snowing on the west side
Let me take you for a ride I'll be Bonnie and you'll be Clyde See if we can get ourselves killed Before we die And we'll drive like bandits On the Queensway We'll hold hands like in the movies I'll say oh Clyde you drive me crazy And you'll just capture me like it was Armed robbery We'll pass through Prince Ed County And I'll steal you something pretty You'll say man well aren't I lucky Gone and found myself a crooked lady And we'll drive like bandits On the Queensway We'll hold hands like it the movies I'll say oh Clyde you drive me crazy And you'll just capture me like it was Armed robbery We'll find the cure to all our bad deeds And maybe we will be redeemed We drove like bandits On the Queensway We held hands like in the movies I did my best to drive you crazy You just captured me like it was Armed robbery You just captured me like Armed robbery |

I put you on the King car
You'll be home in an hour I ought to wipe the slate clean With new sheets and a shower You think I jumped the gun Well I think I bit the bullet If I held that trigger again I think I'd aim at you and pull it I don't really know ya But you were no Casanova You decide what I'm here to provide Fun and conversation versus Good old fashioned lubrication I'm fine this is all contrived And I'm fine that you're just On vacation I don't regret what we did Nothing wrong with a little impulse But man what I wouldn't give To be the one not returning your calls I don't really know ya But you were no Casanova And that just goes to show ya That I'm right back where I started Not even broken hearted I'm not even broken hearted It's a little bit to late To correct this whole mistake So I'm laying where we lay Trying to lose this constant replay I don't really know ya But you were no Casanova And that just goes to show ya That I'm right back where I started Not even broken hearted music and lyrics by martina sorbara martina sorbara - vocals/acoustic guitar adam hay - drums murray foster - bass jian ghomeshi - percussion |

He shot just like a comet
Into my orbit He sparked and spread like a forest blaze Took over like a teenage craze And ma said, "Tina, he was worth the wait,' She thinks that I've Made a grave mistake Oh God, look at what I've done I've pulled it all apart, just for fun Just to see if it would come undone Now it's all come undone Last time that he saw me It was way back in February And he was smoking like a chimney He had me swaying like a daisy When he said, "Happy Valentine's day, babe," And I took the heart-shaped box And I walked away Oh God, look at what I've done I've pulled it all apart, just for fun Just to see if it would come undone Now it's all undone Now I stay out late at night I do what the heck I like Adventurousness is alright, I guess But I like it less and less And hey, well, that's exactly What he warned He said, "If you think this happens every day, babe You've got a lot to learn," Oh God, look at what I've done I've pulled it all apart, just for fun Just to see if it would come undone Just to watch it all come undone Just to see it all come undone Now it's all come undone Yeah, it's all come undone |

> Just a few more days 'till spring
And I'm crossing my fingers Oh let the snow melt into rain The city is deserted As if everybody hurt it This town doesn't want us around here today And I've got that feeling my life is caving in I can't help but feel that way So don't even tell me that all in good time That I'll be just fine I'd feel so much better if you'd loosen my tether As I'm tossed about, your cold white ball I'd get on the freeway, wont stop driving 'till next Tuesday And put a thousand miles between us or more I know that's not possible, all the streets here run in circles I wouldn't even make it out of the car So don't even tell me that all in good time That I'll be just fine Don't even try to ease my mind Oh don't waste my time If I do get through this I promise you this Next time around I'll get it right I'll walk through your ghost town In nothing but my night gown And you can blow with all your might And I'll face you smiling Whether dying or surviving But for now I just got to make it through tonight So don't even tell me that all in good time That I'll be just fine Don't you try to ease my mind Oh don't waste my time Don't even tell me That I'll be just fine 'cause I know I'm not fine Don't ask me to try and be kind Because it's personal this time |

In uncharted door wells
Necks wrap around necks Blood vessels burst to make a necklace I'm pushed into darkness By a relentless pelvis Oh how makeshift, how reckless It's like eggs over easy Bottomless coffee Oh won't you force feed me Something so greasy Give me that counterfeit affection Your on sale, bargain bin love If I close one eye Look up at the sky The moon the size the colour of a shiny new dime With no depth perception It's tough to imagine This mistake I want to make just one more time It's like eggs over easy Bottomless coffee Oh won't you force feed me something sleazy Give me your counterfeit affection You're on sale, Bargain-bin love And we roll in doors Like we've just been washed ashore And my smudged grin gives us away And the smoke is congregating between floor and ceiling We've got so much to do so little to say I need another drink A screw driver I think So I ooze over to the counter I look the man in the eye And on an in-drawn sigh I place my order I say give me your eggs over easy Bottomless coffee Oh won't you force feed me something so sleazy Give me your counterfeit affection You're on sale bargain bin love |

You try to open me up like a music box
You think you'll here some sweet song I just erupt like vesuvius Like you said something horribly wrong Why is it The one I get fed up with Is the one that I can't do without You're nothing but good to me And I keep exploding Can't even remember what it was about Call the authorities Call the powers that be, yeah Call security and tell them what's happened to me, yeah Yeah It's like I was stuck In this amusement park And I am less amused all the time It's like I played all the games And went on all the silly rides Feel like I went up too high I was spun round too many times 'Cause I can't help feeling sick And tired Call the paramedic Get some one to do something, yeah Call a mechanic I think I'm malfunctioning, yeah Call wolf Call wolf, Yeah, yeah. Call horror, call terror, call bloody murder Call wolf |

He said: "take off your clothes for me
I've got a dirty fantasy Your body's generosity Could really be of use to me," Naturally I said: "certainly," He said: "I've got some time If you don't mind To close your eyes And be robbed blind I'm in a bind, you'd be so kind," His words were sweet and silver-lined I said "fine," Well, how can I decline? And he's told me I'm efficient Conveniently complacent He told me that I got the job done He said I best do all that I can To make him a better man And make him a better man When he's gone Better when he's gone I don't know what he takes me for But he's had me And he'll take me more He says that's what sweet flesh is for Oh, what's left But this apple-core? And he's told me I'm efficient Conveniently complacent He told me that I got the job done He said I best do all that I can To make him a better man And make him a better man When he's gone Better when he's gone |

When I strip for my window
The audience is always easy And when I kiss my pillow At least I know what he sees in me I could be seductive But I'm just not seductive I'm not the mystery That you made of me So I've boarded up the windows of my palace So I've grown accustomed to rose coloured glasses I called all the local papers Saying look what he did to me Look what he said to me Don't take this guy seriously Still I find myself on my knees Repenting relentlessly For what he didn't find in me For what I didn't turn out to be He says I boarded up the windows of my palace That I've grown accustomed to rose coloured glasses So I live the life in pink So I'm different than you think So I'm not so outrageous I'm not so outrageous There was a time I was mighty When I stood as tall as I can Yeah, once I was mighty Now you've made even smaller than I am 'Cause I've boarded up the windows of my palace I've grown accustomed to rose coloured glasses So I live the life in pink So I'm different than you think I'm not so outrageous So I couldn't do what you did I'm a little more timid I'm not so courageous I'm not so courageous Once I was mighty Once I was mighty |

Trying to read her palm
With a clenched fist Calling out for whatever's in store Asking: "God, did the Devil put you up to this? Whatever it is, I can't take it any more," She says "I'm gonna make Something of myself tonight God and the Devil, I'll show you up I can fight back and I just might Your tempting business isn't All that tough," She's thrown all caution to the wind Hoping to catch it in her sails When her ship comes in But this ship won't float No, it just don't Parading around town With her open wounds Saying: "hush now, don't tell a soul," Any charity will come too soon "I can get through this on my own," And she's recruiting sympathy like it's an army And as the front lines fall, she brings new lines up She says: "keep on your tip-toes, boys My tissue's scarring," Collecting pity like change in a cup And she's thrown all caution to the wind Hoping to catch it in her sails When her ship comes in But this ship won't float No, it just don't She won't make it worth her while She won't let it get her down Just try hard to keep that smile But it's just an upside-down frown I said make it worth your while I said let it get you down Why try so hard to keep that smile When it's just an upside-down frown? Trying to read her palm With a clenched fist Calling out for more Saying, "God and the devil You won't get away with this When my ship comes in I'll win this war God and the devil You haven't seen the end of this When my ship comes in I'll win this war," |
