I thought we'd escape
I packed a fishing line and counted on it I thought we'd escape I packed a fishing line and counted on it But dreaming is for moonrise And moonlight ails these tired eyes I treat him like a lady I treat him as I would he unto me Give Rose rose-seller a run for her money With silicone and poetry But it's the end of me I thought it could change I'd wake up one morning and find nothing to rearrange I couldn't get there Behind his wall of Sunday papers I thought it could change I'd wake up one morning and find nothing to rearrange But dreaming is for moonrise And moonlight ails these tired eyes I treat him like a lady I treat him as I would he unto me Give Rose rose-seller a run for her money With silicone and poetry And it's the end of me Here I am Here I am And here I stand Here in my kitchen where I'm familiar with every brand Here I am A front line with labels where I witness custards last stand Here I am |

I've got my work cut out with you
You tore bits out of me Your carpet burns and bruises blue Are there for all to see But I can tell you've been through hell Finally you wear it well It's an accessory It's time to change your uniform And hand it on to me, to me And I dream one day I'll find The one who lives inside my mind They feel the same way too We've all been used Dazed, beautiful, and bruised Dazed, beautiful, and bruised And blame is not a one way street The widest avenue But cause me grief And my belief is harm will come to you Between the lines I think you'll find Lessons learned from alleys blind Beauty can turn sour So recognise through all the lies The hero of the hour, the hour And I dream one day I'll find The one who lives inside my mind They feel the same way too We've all been used Dazed, beautiful, and bruised When there's nothing, nothing left to lose Dazed, beautiful, and bruised Dazed |

The sun is shining
We should be making hay But we're dead from the waist down Like in California Victory is emrty There are lessons in defeat But we're dead from the waist down We are sleeping on our feet We stole the songs from birds in trees Bought us time on easy street Now our paths, they never meet We chose to court and flatter greed, ego disposability I caught a glimpse, and it's not me Make hay not war Make hay not war Make hay not war Or else we're done for And we're d from the w down There's no contracts binding No bad scene beyond repair But when you're dead from the waist down You're too far gone to even care We stole the songs from birds in trees Bought us time on easy street Now our paths, they never meet We chose to court and flatter greed, ego disposability I caught a glimpse, and it's not me Make hay not war Make hay not war Make hay not war Or else we're done for And we're d from the w down The sun is shining |

well its a most peculiar feeling,
like sunburn in the evening, with dark clouds on their way, and you think its most unlikely, life could ever shine as brightly, once the sun has gone and the pressures on and the rain is here again (chorus) but you dont need the sunshine dont need the moonlight dont need the good times dont need no boogie well do you find the change in season effects you without reason you've greetings but nothing more to say and youd swear youd feel much better if only summer'd last forever but the sky is clear and your nowhere near and the rain is here again but you dont need the sunshine (i dont mind the rain) you dont need the goodtimes (you could feel the same) lean on me maybe you could see it through if you could only believe a sinlge word is true you dont need the sunshine dont need the goodtimes dont need anything anyones giving (anyones giving) and i dont mind your lies so keep on talking well i throw away my sunshine my so-called little life lines do you know what i mean? when i decided that the answer could not be bought across the counter my sista dista has left for good now the rain has gone away chorus) but you dont need the sunshine dont need the goodtimes dont need anything anyones giving (anyones giving) and i dont mind your lies so keep on talking rain has gone away (x5) and i dont mind your lies so keep on talking |

A dead loss,
No fun, just glum Lying next to someone So don't mention the war Don't question where we stand Or where we fall North, south, east where's best? If i head left It turns out directionless And needle point aside I always find Embroidery leaves me blind Cos i'm too weary to rest Since i noticed Coming second best is close to ideal What fools boredom breeds So much to do So many goldfish to feed And paracetamol I take them all They line my stomach wall With customary thirst I search a water glass But gin hits first Oh don't believe the hype Expectancy will always spoil a party It's tourniquet by crochet My waters break Don't drive for pity's sake Cos i'm too weary to rest Since i noticed Coming second best Is close to ideal |

[I'm working for the dogs in the city]
Your mind was strong but your body was weak Now your body's here but your mind has snuffed it I think it's time that somebody stopped it. On the screen there's a boy with no name It looks like like you but it's just not the same You're so damn gone, I can hardly see you It must have been a double at the BBC Oh yeah... In the city, in the disco [Think you're] pretty, [ ... ] It's a shit-hole, you're a hero, You're a freak-oh.... Just when I think I'm getting the knack I'll see you and have a panic attack I'm an acrobat on the channel changer And it seems I'm out of danger Oh yeah.... In the city, in the disco [Think you're] pretty, [ ... ] It's a shit-hole, you're a hero, You're a freak-oh.... |

Wake up sleepy welsh, land of song.
Deep is the weakness, Small is the flame, The harvest is cruel, but the tune is beautious With the song of the lonely swan in my chest. (this bit in english) Every day, when i wake up I thank the lord i'm welsh. I discovered the true paradise of rhyl. A feast of graves excited a shy welsh woman |

I'm sorry you couldn't make it
You could have seen him, so weathered and dated He was a johnny come lately And i know that you would hate him If you'd seen his botanical leanings First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit He was a johnny come lately And i know that you would hate me If i envied the things that he spoke of How i envied the things that he thought of He was a johnny come lately And i know that you would hate me If i told you that i made some time and stayed behind To find out how to make a garden grow Where the sun no longer shines If i asked too many questions and i stayed behind To find out how to make a garden grow But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil He didn't need us, just tempted and teased us You could have been here, wishing you were here This was a johnny come lately And i know that you would hate me He was a johnny come lately And i know that you would hate me If i told you that i made some time and stayed behind To find out how to make a garden grow Where the sun no longer shines He assured me that the seeds you sold were sound But i must have cast them all on stony ground And now the sun won't shine I must have asked too many questions d And stayed behind to find out how to make a garden grow But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil. |

Tedium is overcome
From obscurity, through melody And when I'm blind it helps me See through your key No one can touch, no need to rush Presented by my alibi When I'm down it brings me round So easily I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see I'm gonna take you down to a place I know you'd rather be It's just a three minute song It doesn't last very long But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be Hey you can dance Oooh sha la la la la la la Common sense has excuses Recklessness, its uses But don't go fusing silence with charisma At nine o'clock you can count on me And when I'm up I'm ready Tonight I'm gonna be I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see I'm gonna take you down to a place I know you'd rather be It's just a three minute song It doesn't last very long But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be Where you can dance I'm doomed to fail The stage gives way It's an apostrophe to my legacy But though I'm bruised I'll happily do it all again At 10 o'clock don't wait up for me Coz when I'm up I'm ready Tonight I'm gonna be Matthew! I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see I'm gonna take you down to a place I know you'd rather be It's just a three minute song It doesn't last very long But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be And you an dance if you want to Show appreciation But step up to the mic for the full sensation And you can dance And you can dance And you can dance And you can ooh la la la ooh sha la la la And you can ooh la la la ooh sha la la la |

I'd rather be liberated, I find myself captivated
Stop doing what you keep doing it too I'd rather stay bold and lonely, I dream I'm your one and only Stop doing what you keep doing it too Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry This could be a case for Mulder and Scully Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone I'd rather be jumping ship, I find myself jumping straight in Stop doing what you keep doing it too... Forever be dozy and dim, I wake myself thinking of him Stop doing what you keep doing it too... Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry This could be a case for Mulder and Scully Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone Here my bed is made for two and there's nothing I can do So tell me something I don't know. If my head is full you, is there nothing I can do? Must we all march in two by two by two? And as for some happy ending. I'd rather stay single and thin Stop doing what you Keep doing to me... Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry This could be a case for Mulder and Scully Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone... here Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry This could be a case for Mulder and Scully Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone So what have you got to say to that? And what does someone do without love? And what does someone do with love? And what have you got to say about that |

His sermon loud and bold And I got hold of spiritual healing His eloquence, magnificent I didn't stand for long And there I learnt how prayer can be misguiding But I'm a good girl Oh I'm a good girl I'm a good girl They recommended counselling But I don't need to talk I don't get off on communal changing I'm better bred, much better led Leave my keys at home But brace yourselves for industrial cleavage Cos I'm a good girl Oh I'm a good girl I'm good girl If you live a lie you'll die a liar If you live a lie you'll die a liar Pants on fire Joan of Arc, come kiss my art Leave a charcoal mark There's so much more to solitary refinement Cos I'm a good girl Oh I'm a good girl I'm a good girl If you live a lie you'll die a liar |

If all you've got to do today is find your peace of mind
Come round You can take a piece of mine If all you've got to do today is hesitate Come here, you can leave it late with me You could be taking it easy on yourself You should be making it easy on yourself Cos you know, its all over the front page You give me road rage Racing through the best days And it's you boy driving me crazy Thinking you may be losing your mind If all you've got to prove today is your innocence. Calm down, you're as guilty as can be If all you've got to lose alludes to yesterday. Yesterday's through. Now do anything you please Repeat chorus Space age, road rage, fast lane, minimum wage Home late, upgrade, short-changed, golden age Front page, lose face, handmade, space ache Backstage, outraged, disgraced, maximum weight |

Equally cursed and blessed In her Versace dress Too eager too impress A vision filled her soap sud hell Twin tub on spin Lets all her daydreams in And how she wants away from him She's on it She's a millionaire She's on it She's got it She's a millionaire High street prams Chariot scene from Ben Hur Push chair rage A customised roll bar cage Will help baby come of age So what's in the pram Is it teen death? Bazooka the check-out queue There's no need to argue About who was in front of who She's on it She's a millionaire She's on it She's got it She's a millionaire The ad begs "Buy bottled water" But we know that it tastes of piss Should be getting our tampons free DIY gynaecology She's on it She's a millionaire She's on it She's got it She's a millionaire |

Going places you?d never go with me I felt myself become a bitter old shrew Oh, I?d have bitten you in two if you would let me I?d look deadly as a nun Martyrdom does not become me I?ll find love in vanity Somebody told me you?d found places to go New people to know, new ladies and so I felt myself become a bitter old shrew I?d have bitten her in two if you would let me So if I don?t laugh what do I do? If I don?t laugh and see this through I shouldn?t even think of you Allow me one extravagance Before they come and ban me And let me shoot the messenger So help me God they talk so much This knowledge ain?t my business But I hang on his every word God speed his journey back to Hell I might retreat singing But all I hear is you Just give me one more shot of gin I?ll scream along to anything Just let me shoot the messenger |
