In my young life I have received
Callers as though they were Christmas Eve. Disappointed and I don't know why? She gave me laughter and hope And a sock in the eye. (A love like this is sealed with a kiss) In my young life and I know something now. I've never tried to create a wow. Wows are few frustration more common. Now I can feel it in my soul, That's why I gave the come on. Kiss me with your mouth. Your love is better than wine. But wine is all I have. Will your love ever be mine? Faces fall before my feet. Like blood onto a clean white sheet. When I grow old I won't forget To innocence my only debt. Wow I feel so fresh today. Barefoot in the snow to make love in the hay. The stars are bright in the abyss, Now I can feel you in my arms I explode inside your kiss. |

She's dreamy to the max
I tried to make a joke You didn't seem to listen The cafe was full of smoke And I was fiercely bitten The wind outside could bite But love for you was savage Was my conversation trite Or weighed down with luggage? She's got a lot of problems She's got a lot of problems She makes me quiver The soft suede of her boots "Admit you are neurotic" Your Maxfield Parrish suits "Is style like a narcotic" But if I can't be debonair I'll just be gaunt and gothic "Can we make a pair?" Yes, that would be exotic I love you massively I love you passively Tip toe to my kisses Give me my best wishes |

If I was brave enough
Maybe I'd call you up and tell you Tell you how much I love you Tell you how much I need you near me Times have never been so hard And that makes my heart beat harder We're going to be a masterpiece United we stand between the sheets We'll never sleep until love's been made And the red flag has been played Security's all she wanted The social is always posted to her The sun sinks salmon slumber She thinks 'maybe he's lost my number', maybe Tomorrow we'll be hand in hand Voting in the election We're going to be a masterpiece United we stand between the sheets We'll never sleep until love's been made And the red flag has been played |

> Broke, I think the rent is due
I've only bracelets from Your open arms And encouragements Why can't I talk to you For when desire's fulfilled The beans are spilt Desire becomes love Can I ever be the one you want Can I ever be the one you love What if the tide against us Proves too strong We'll have to wait until it gives enough I put too much in the way The way you went it seems Out of my life And into my dreams You turn my night to day But is it love you say And in that way I'll never be free Come close (I spoke your name and kissed the air) The sun is threatening to wake the neighbourhood Love comes (The semen stain on your T-shirt) The rivals became lovers overnight But how raw is our union on the avenue Of coffee table points of view |

I wonder who's coming out today
To play in sheltered shopping centres Sitting around the stagnant fountain Counting pennies eating peanuts Brown paper, babies and check out girls In uniform and furniture boys Who we used to know don't say hello But that's okay that's okay 'Cause when the sun comes down And you come home We'll have two weeks all alone Before you have to go back to school Which ruins everything. Wednesday Jones is growing up And if she goes I'll never catch her On the petrol station forecourt All thumbs and old suede jacket Catch the bus back to the house The front room's ours and we can stay there Stared out the window for an hour Until I too went away went away 'Cause when the sun comes down And we're apart Another one must claim my heart And Wednesday Jones and I won't be Each others lover |

Baby, let me make you a statue
To stand outside the council house To stand as a reminder of what you are And what you want to be I want to live with you Want to sleep with you In a house, in a peaceful world They want to take you They want to break you Don't let them make you unhappy You are the icing on the cake The party on the street The love you cannot fake The truth you cannot cheat You were left on the doorstep Of the Social Security You were hoping for a future as someone Not just a leisure refugee I always saw you as a fighter and a winner Not content to only write your name Their right way is the wrong way for what you are And what you were born to be Born to be young and free To be young and wise Not to listen to all their lies Don't let them make you Don't let them break you Don't let them make you unhappy Here we come waltzing home By the moon so bright By the sea, by the harbour wall They want to take you They want to break you Shape you and make you unhappy |

I can't forget you no matter how I try
I can't forget you no matter how I try For every time I see you my heart dies Every time I see you my heart dies I am the one that you ignore You are the one that I adore Oh, won't you come back again? You are the one distraction to my darkest blues But if I was given the chance to erase our love You know I would refuse A marriage made in Heaven we don't suppose But who on Earth informed you Heaven knows? You say that you don't care And that it's an affair You say we have no trust You see my love as lust Love given not returned |

Working, even without you
But I'm not about to collect my cards There are a hundred thousand people Who would take my place So we could drive off in the Austin To the steeplechase Working, but thinking about you I can smell you in my clothes And feel you in my bones Every minute counts When you're away from home I'll be there Because I care for you Whisper, I don't know where I'm going Can't move without you knowing The ups and downs The stopping train is loading up with sentiment The backyard breeze is blowing back its sacrament Whisper, I don't know where I'm going Don't apologise, love is always right So never compromise, I'll be there tonight Through the lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely days I'll be there Through the lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights I'll be there |

Will you come and fight for me?
The driver stops and soon we're in the field Now you're making love with me When the sun goes down The grapes of wrath are peeled You you have no faith in me With good reason Lovers we'll be, believe in me Lovers we'll be, believe in me Black and white is everywhere Let's demonstrate, we took them for a ride Battle hymns, Aretha sings When we engage I always swell with pride You're a revolutionary But you can't be alone This won't last forever You might turn around and find somebody new The zombie in the sports car, baby Well, he's looking for a girl who looks like you Oh, but looking isn't loving like we do |

Cindy, it's over
Although it never started I thought I'd better tell you It's over, girl, it's over Cindy, I love you But we can't be together Maybe in the future You'll love me, girl, you'll love me The New Street train at platform 8 Don't be late when our time comes Until then it's bon voyage The world at large, alone Cindy, so sadly Replaces the receiver Gets ice out of the freezer Makes a drink and drinks it Champagne, November Rainy days, December Are all she can remember Of loving me completely |

A break in the chain
A ring down a drain With no-one to blame For only I came Why, oh, why did I ever ask you why? Why, oh, why Do you know why you couldn't see it through? I guess you have to find what you can't do And push it Come on, catch me if you can You push it Come on, catch me if you can You push it Catch me if you can It's always the same It starts as a game Ends in a scream Of love's academe Why, oh, why can't you help yourself And try to understand yourself? Your love is always engineered Your soft spots never volunteered Our courtship lovingly oblique Like "On The Road" meets "Holy Week" Prostrate on a hotel bed We talked about the books we've read |

The good old days that never were
Are what she reaches for Carry on, carry on, forget about me Her body sways, she doesn't care She pulls me to the floor Carry on, carry on, forget about me Holes in my shoes Waiting in queues all day You went with me Holes in my shoes Waiting in queues The past that never was The feathered brooms that brush away The details that still hurt Carry on, carry on, forget about me The ransacked tombs of happy days Leaves me with the dirt Carry on, carry on, forget about me |

Be at the clock at six
Our chalk and cheese will mix The photo booth portrait looks reportage Tonight we are the exiled working class Authority and reason Are anarchy and treason To first lovers in a broken town I wish I had a clue I always feel so vague and what to do The city shrugs we know it's had its day The gas work shadows where we used to play If we had a chance we'd take it But would we recognise it Two first lovers in a broken town If I said let's go could we? I'm glad that you never stop me Kiss me |
