You're such a beautiful writer
That's not all you are I'm sorry about making a pass It was subtle but I think that you grasped The meaning intended I can be a friend to you I won't pretend I'm not interested in breaking your heart It's not love no it's nothing like that I'll leave that to lookers like him Oh he's such a delicate thing Now it's such a fragile thing that we have I should be suspended from class I don't know my elbow from my arse I should be suspended from class We could go out dancing But, in truth it is the last thing that I have on my mind Please say if I'm way out of line I won't need telling twice Now he wants to kiss He says he can't resist You're going to have to keep it hidden inside I've a feeling that pigs might fly, might fly I should be suspended from class I don't know my elbow from my arse I should be suspended from class You're such a beautiful writer And that's not all you are I'm sorry about making a pass It was subtle but I think that you grasped The meaning intended I should be suspended from class I don't know my elbow from my arse I should be suspended from class I don't know my elbow from my arse |

Does it make you happy to ignore me on streets?
I guess by now you think I'm weak I wish you would have said something before now I wouldn't share a bag of chips with you And in my opinion you don't have a clue I'm being cruel, I'm being cruel I don't want to be part of your scene I'll stay with him; I'll keep my nose clean You're the one pretending to be licking stamps All alone in a room following lines on maps It's clear you don't want me here How about I send you a book on nutrition? Stop spoon-feeding me non-fiction Just for a while, I will fake a smile I don't want to be part of your scene I'll stay with him; I'll keep my nose clean Oh, why did you say she was a friend of mine? I thought it was me you couldn't stand I'm confused I will win; you will lose You've taken to phoning my house when you're drunk And then confessing all your love I wish you would have said so before now I don't want to be part of your scene I'll stick with him; I'll keep my nose clean |

She didn't sign her name she gave an autograph Now she's trying to call your bluff She your true love? We knew the boy who went from Mod to Ted She asked matter of fact had he gone off his head He was uncomplaining as a tree Not a thing like me You're not a teenager So don't act like one Sure she is a heartbreaker Does she have one? Is it down to me, down to me?

I said I loved you for a little while When you cried no High speed became go slow Come back this time Wishful thinking is going to make you mine Push turns to shove I got no more room for love I hope you hear me I can't stand you next to me Get lost goodbye I'll smile before you cry I love you baby Please don't hate me You're feeling a little sad tonight but you'll be alright |

My friend she told me such a story but she didn't know what I knew
I laughed with my friend when she got to the end I knew we were laughing at you She told me that you made some money and you got yourself frames on the wall People come by and they look at your face And they say it's the fairest of all Of course you protest That's what you do best You're modest and shy to the end You're watching them as they're looking at you And you know it was money well spent She told me you'd given up drinking to be with somebody you knew And you tried to get into the bible But it never got into you You've still got some loyal disciples I suppose that I'm one of the few I shouldn't have laughed Cause I mean you no harm But my friend got to me before you And next time I see you I'll be pleased to see you I hope you'll be pleased to see me I'll visit your picture I won't have the nerve To tell them that they've got you all wrong |

Oh yeah it was dark trees could not be identified The girl you were with did she have you on your knees? I shut my mouth my ears I don't want to hear you please Now you're skipping school going to listen to records Wrapped up in mohair dissing your elders Dip a chocolate finger take a sip from my cup Remember what you're dad said "button your lip" You've got to toughen up for him He's the kind who will do you in I should know that it's no fun You will never be No. 1 No. 1 son God I've tried to help but I think I just hinder Ask a better girl could she ever be kinder Love unlike lightning can strike you twice I don't know much, but here's my advice You've got to toughen up for him He's the kind who will do you in I should know that it's no fun You will never be No. 1 No. 1 son |

Hurry up, baby, 'cause we're going somewhere tonight
One glass of wine and you're mine and you know I just might... You know I just might You know I just might Well the room goes boom to the sound of Temptations and more Twisting and turning that girl's looking good on the floor Good on the floor Good on the floor Well the four walls they collide Until the blue-eyed girl decides to let me go home Let me go home Host plays "Ghost in my House", gets a fist in the eye Vinyl is crushed in the rush for the liquor supply The liquor supply The liquor supply Supremes in our dreams Do we quit bein' obscene on the stairs(?) Daylight appears through the curtains and nobody cares Nobody cares Nobody cares Well the four walls they collide Until the blue-eyed girl decides to let me go home Let me go home Daylight appears through the curtains and nobody cares Supremes in our dreams Do we quit bein' obscene on the stairs |

You can compliment me on the style of my hair
Give me marks out of ten for the clothes I wear You probably thought I had more upstairs I disappoint you, I can see through your perfect smile He likes to read books written for girls Prides himself on being a man of the world It?s in the darkest places he gets his thrills He will disappoint you, if you see through his perfect smile I think separation is ok You?re no star to guide me anyway You only wanted me to play the fool Play by your rule Now my door has swollen from the rain God knows we?ll never see her face again People get shattered in many ways They can disappoint you if you see through their perfect smiles I think separation is ok You?re no star to guide me anyway You only wanted me to play the fool Play by your rule |

We didnt leave 'till three I know we're not the only one's When we got outside the snow had started to fall I made a ball I threw it at Gavin because he's tall Now we have this snow up to our knees A Walking wonderland is always bound to please I know it's true to say my smiles been weak I wonder if you know by now Ive fallen deep Chorus I can hear you calling to me in the morning How can I be falling in love with you You can offer me a penny for my thoughts They're not worth a damn they're not worth a lot Ive been getting loose with my tongue and free with my hands How can I expect you to understand who I am? Chorus I can hear you calling to me in the morning How can I be falling in love with you Shes doing her own thing Still making my heart sing She is moving along to the beat of a song Its true Ill keep you safe and warm tonight Ill keep you safe and warm tonight Ill keep you safe and warm tonight |

For the Lunar sea see the river moon
And you've got it Match the finest words to the greatest tune And you bought it See me cross in style Walk the longest mile in a minute Where do drifters go? Wonder if they know there?'s no limit At the rainbows end Find a perfect friend say you?'re sorry Make me dream at night Break my heart on sight don?'t you worry Swept the sounds of love from the skies above And I knew it Swim the seas of blue just to drown in you And I blew it You hear it, the shiver in spine don?'t come near it I love it, you soar and you cry rise above it Got my lunar sea for you?r river moon If you let it Match my finest words to your greatest tune Won?'t forget it You hear it, the shiver in spine don?'t come near it I love it, you soar and you cry rise above it Fly by lunar sea lullaby |

I can't believe that I'm writing this down
I can't believe I've got you in a song I don't want to be a whining girl I'd rather not be in your world I stole a magazine from a Laundromat The posters in the bag they were breaking my back All I wanted was a bench to rest my weary legs I sat and had a greet, I have done my best I'll get my operation on the N. H. S Will it cure my blushes will it bring out my best? Some will say I was a woman pretending to be a girl I will make no comment of this I've had my fill This can't go on When is it going to stop? You casually walked back to your room tonight Take the flight of stairs and softly dim the light Fantasize about how happy you'd be with a girl tonight I don't want to see you down I don't want to see you hanging around I don't want to see you down I don't want to see you hanging around |

You said once this was true If it is I don't know what I'll do 'Cause I'm stuck with them and they're stuck on you Was I quite bad that nothing could never challenged anyone Or was I a lazy lazy snake?

My love for you is stronger, don't you know? I'd like to celebrate you, dear All in all, it's been a pretty good year I looked deep within myself I got scared by just how hard I fell Oh, James. You broke me, I thought I knew you well. Oh, you had me Honey and me, oh, sun and the moon I'll be fine by June I could tell that you weren't well Oh, James. You broke me, I thought I knew you well Oh, can't you see you belong with me? I could tell that you weren't well Oh, James. You broke me, I thought I knew you well |

You kissed me on the forehead
Now this kiss is giving me a concussion We were love at first sight Now it's crush It's crushing I traced your steps through the city of romance lazily I took to the desert with your harshest words and they saved me I'll bail you out again I've got the readies I'm not a child I know We're not going steady Your pain's gigantic but it's not as big as your ego Promise not to abandon you, please let me go Now I've been worrying about your feelings Yeah they were worth protecting They say I'm too kind and sentimental Like you could catch affection Oh in your eyes there's a sadness Enough to kill the both of us Are those eyes overrated? They make me want to give up on love I'll brace myself for the loneliness Say hello to feelings that I detest This maudlin career has come to an end I don't want to be sad again This maudlin career has come to an end I don't want to be sad again This maudlin career has come to an end I don't want to be sad again This maudlin career has come to an end I don't want to be sad again |

I'm in a van,
And you're holding my hand And you were travelling with me through forest and sands I've been ever so needy learning your language And you've been taking full advantage, haven't you? Oh, don't say it's true I've been so afraid, I'm a sadness again And we kissed once, even that was the last I know I need more than given Moments and sentimental stories Words only spoken seemingly That I'm warming your heart that way Oh, it feels like none of this is real I'll pretend that my heart and my head are well But if the blood pumping through my veins could freeze, Like a river in Toronto, Then I'd bleed please, You said I made you feel warm, said I made you feel warm inside Oh, it feels like none of this is real I'll pretend that my heart and my head are well But if the blood pumping through my veins could freeze, Like a river in Toronto, Then I'd bleed please, You said I made you feel warm, said I made you feel warm inside It feels like none of this is real I'll pretend that my heart and my head are well But if the blood pumping through my veins could freeze, Like a river in Toronto, Then I'd bleed please, You said I made you feel warm, said I made you feel warm inside |

Drinking whiskey reminds me of you
You're the first in ages to have gotten through I know you mean well, I know that you do But sooner or later you're going to break me in two Were my pupils dilated? Could you tell that I liked you? We were so unlikely You flirt with an ex, put me to the test Still I want to tell you that I love you the best We turned the radiators on and there was no way back Did you know You had The Plough star trail on your back? Your voice is quiet and I need it loud In the night you went up And the morning you went down It's like you to forbid me to say goodnight I had your brown eyes and limbs On me through the night These words are weak and to your dislike You'll never believe them so I guess it's alright Do you like the view I show you? I say look at the light Do you still miss the way that I hold you? In other towns and cities Who's holding you tonight? The dresses came out of the bag then the tears came Drinking has never been the same again I shared your trouble, I shared your weight I lost it with you today We don't share a birthday but we do share a sign We shared something or was it all in my mind There was talk of love and how I need it back I'd be better for you than that last love of mine You're in another town or city You mean nothing to me tonight |

A half full moon in Mexico City I think of you
When I saw the Southern Cross I wished you had too I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones And honey in the sun for you I've been spending half the year In a plane going up and down You've been seeing other people from a nearby town Been obsessing and getting depressed about us Excess baggage and other stupid band stuff I wish my heart was cold But it's warmer than before I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones And honey in the sun for you When you said the veins in my left hand Were shaped like a tree Was that the very last time you really looked at me? I'm in training to become as cold as ice I'm determined to protect my feelings disguise When I said I didn't love you I told you a lie There no one above you although I try Would you laugh at the time I spent calling your name Over and over and over and over again? The trouble is I got me close to hating me When I wake up in the morning its your face I see Where you once made me feel less afraid You've got me pouring myself all over this page |

Of a'? the airts the wind can blaw
I dearly like the west For there the bonnie Lassie lives The Lassie I love best There's wild-woods grow, and rivers row And mony a hill between But day and night my fancy's flight Is ever wi'? my Jean! I see her in the Dewy flowers I see her sweet and fair I hear her in the tunefula? birds I hear her charm the air There's not a bonnie flower, that springs By a fountain, shaw, or green There's not a bonnie bird that sings But minds me oh my Jean! |

> O my Luve's like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June O my Luve's like the melodie That's sweetly play'd in tune As fair art thou, my bonnie lass So deep in luve am I And I will love thee still, my Dear Till a, the seas gang dry Till a the seas gang dry, my Dear And the rocks melt wi the sun I will love thee still, my Dear While the sands o life shall run And fare thee weel, my only Luve! And fare thee weel, a while! And I will come again, my Luve Tho it were ten thousand mile!
