Lyrics to Be Mine :
I never thought we'd come this far
But then how we come that far
And I won't let them in
Cause she's my lover and not my friend

I'm so scared to lose you now
So easy to lose you now
Because there calling at my door
So I'm locking up my door

Now my thoughts are very dark
And my dreams are always dark
Don't let them take me away
Cause I want me to stay

But be mine, oh
Won't you be mine, oh
Be mine, oh oh

Take it all outside
Cause you don't need it
Don't need to cry, oh no
Take it all outside
Cause you don't need me
Don't need to cry

I never thought we'd come this far
But then how we come that far
And I won't let them in
Cause she's my lover and not my friend

I'm so scared to lose it now
Oh it's so easy to lose it now
Because they're calling at my door
So I'm locking up my door

Oh be mine, oh
Wont you be mine, oh
Be mine
Be mine

Take it all outside
Cause you don't need it
Don't need to cry, oh no
Take it all outside
Cause you don't need me
Don't need to cry, yeah

So be mine, oh oh
Be mine, oh
Be mine!

Lyrics to If Only :
Hold your head, hold your tongue, only say what you have to as a child yes i dreamed of holding
her in the silverscree, she loved her man and
loved him twice, i wish i'd been that passenger,
having fun fly my kite the devil inside wont
control my life
if only if only he wasen't so lonely
he'd have someone to play with instead of
bombing our neighbours
so here i go to see
the world with my eyes and with my soul, too
much love and so little hate the devil inside wont
control my fate, if only in only he wasen't so lonely
he'd have someone to play qith instead of
bombing our neighbours
hold your head and
run my time, the what of life no man can rhyme.
so here we are and here we bleed to be a
victim there's no need, having fun in ever fight
the devil inside controls my fate
if only
if only he wasen't so lonely he'd have someone to
play with instead of bombing our neighbour

Lyrics to Jackie Big Tits :
I'd like to say, that I was on your mind
So I phone you at ten past three, in the afternoon
It's evening for you, and another bare hotel room
So hard to believe, that you're dreaming of me too
But it's true

You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round

And Amsterdam, I never knew you so well
The stadium rings with laughter, at every turn
At flying piano's of all things, to set your scene
I'm such a nice man to you, but so obscene
And it's true girl

You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round

Jackie big tits, is hiding in the corner
Respect is the word she shouts, as I implore her
Speaks her mind not me, cause I was only speaking freely
Interupt me once more, I'll take you to the cleaners

You can't push me around, round, round
You can't push me around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round

Jackie big tits

Lyrics to Time Awaits :
Time waits for no man but you
Time waits for no man but you
Hold on don't leave this town
Hold on don't leave this town

There we are
We're that in our hands
They tear you down
Cause they don't understand
You tried it once again
To love me better
She tore those panties down
Love me wetter

Woo oh oh oh
And like ones and twos and threes and fours
Woo oh oh oh
And I hear you knocking at my door

So hold them down
With blood on your hands
It's past the point
Where you don't understand
The worst you do is lie
Run for shelter
So cast aside these chains
Love me better

Woo oh oh oh
And like ones and twos and threes and fours
Woo oh oh oh
And I hear you knocking at my door
Woo oh oh oh
And like ones and twos and threes and fours
Woo oh oh oh
And I hear you knocking at my door

I hear you knocking at my door darling twenty times or more
I hear you knocking at my door darling twenty times or more
I hear you knocking at my door darling twenty times or more
I hear you knocking at my door darling twenty times or more

Lyrics to See The Sun :
Oh you can have it all and wrap it in the world
You can have everything
You can have love and lots of other things
To make you think
But when it all comes down to you girl
Yeah no matter what you do
Take a look at yourself and realize
I've been good to you
I've been good to you

Oh no! I didn't mean to say what I did say
All about lovers and how they should lay
That was never for me to say and say
Don't you see now how I pay

I see the sun rising
And all you see is its fall, fall, fall

So come on up
Wasn't it you who said life was like a plastic cup
To be used and then disposed of
Yeah but thats no way to live a life like yours
Don't you see now how i pay

I see the sun rising
And all you see is its fall, fall, fall

For all the times i never never turned away
And now she is there on someone else's arms [x4]

Lyrics to Always Where I Need To Be :
She don't know who she is,
Oh, I can take her anywhere,
Do whatever comes naturally to you,
You know she just don't care,
You know she just don't care,

'Cause I'm always where,
I need to be,
And I always thought,
I would end up with you eventually,

Do do do-dododo, do do do-dododo,
Do do do-dododo, do do do-dododo

Now I see her again,
I have to be a hummingbird,
Whisper words in her ear,
Oh, you know I just don't care,
You know she just don't care,

'Cause I'm always where,
I need to be,
And I always thought,
I would end up with you eventually,

Do do do-dododo, do do do-dododo,
Do do do-dododo, do do do-dododo

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Oooh wohwohwoh oh I'm a man on the scene,
I'm a man and I can be so obscene,
'Cause I always think I know how to be,
But I always thought I would end up with you eventually,

Do do do dododo, do do do dododo, Do do do dododo, do do do dododo

Lyrics to Mr. Maker :
Mr. Maker he's got it made
A beautiful wife and a baby on the way
And his bills are already paid
No need to skimp, no need to save
But all around him, the world grows hard
He thinks to himself, he must have played a lucky card
If he was alone he'd give it all away
To people and things, that he wanted to save

But oh no, it's alright
Mr. Maker, he'll be fine
It's alright, it's OK
Because of the love he gave away
Oh yeah
Oh yeah...

Doesn't stop to think it's because of he
Always doing right, he stays healthy
The girls in the alley won't get a hold of him
He's got no time for that kind of sin
And he, he's not a member of the Catholic Church
The pastor of his town got sent down for dirt
He sees the boys from Sunday school
It's hard to believe what he read in the morning news

But oh no, it's alright
Mr. Maker, he'll be fine
It's all right, it's OK
Because of the love he gave away
Oh yeah
Oh yeah...

Heart beat, stay heavy
Love us all please, stay on your feet
For me, for me
Stay on your feet
For me, for me
Stay on your feet for me

But oh no, it's alright
Mr. Maker, he'll be fine
It's alright, it's OK
Because of the love he gave away
Oh yeah
Oh yeeeeah...

Lyrics to Gap :
So put a spanner in the works
"You're mine,"
It's easier to work,
But I don't mind,
You're better in defeat so,
Just don't try
To take away all the things
I'll do in my life.

I have to break down all
the corners of the world.
Don't heed this praise on me,
I know I don't deserve it.
But what's so this I see?
Yeah you're leaving right beside me,
And I miss you, and I need you.
I do.

But don't go, take my love,
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.
Don't go, take my love,
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.

Well leave your lover now,
it's your turn.
And see your mother now,
I hope she's okay.
You're better in defeat so,
let's not try
To take away all the things I'll do in our lives.

I have to break down all the corners of the world.
Don't heed this praise on me,
I know I don't deserve it.
But what's so this I see?
Yeah you're leaving right beside me,
And I miss you, and I need you.
I do.

But don't go, take my love,
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.
Don't go, take my love,
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.

All of my life,
trying to understand.
All of my life,
trying to hold a hand.

I have to break down all,
the corners of this world.
Don't heed this praise on me,
I know I don't deserve it.
But what's so this I see?
Yeah you're leaving right beside me,
And I miss you, and I love you.
That's true

Do whatever you have to do, to get it out and not become a reactionary
To hurt the ones you love you know you never meant to but you do

Safety pins holding up the things

About your hair, you needn't care,
You look beautiful all the time.

Lyrics to Down To The Market :
I'm gonna take you down to the market, lover
Cuz that's where the trouble starts
You gotta get it into your heart
There are people out there to make you feel bad
But don't you listen, baby don't you listen Because I know you feel that way

But I'm getting so tired of people always crossing my wires
Life's just far too short for miscommunication

I'm gonna take her down to the market today
Cuz that’s where the trouble starts
You don't want nobody else
There are people out there to make you feel good
But don't you listen, baby, don't you listen Because you know they want it all

But I'm getting so tired of people always crossing my wires
Life's just far too short for miscommunication.

Oh I'm getting so tired of people always crossing my wires
Life's just far too short for miscommunication.

Communication, communication

Lyrics to One Last Time :
Can I hold you one last time
To fight the feeling that is growing in my mind
I know I did us both all so wrong
I know I'm not always all that strong

A-b-c-d-e-f and -g
Oh that reminds me of when we were free
Before life began to tear us apart
Remember those classes when we thought we were so smart

Ooooooooh
Ooooooooh

We were lovers in every way
Left school together, went back to my place
Now I can hardly remember her face
Before I met her I was ..sad

Ooooooooh
Ooooooooh

And can I hold you one last time
To fight this feeling that is growing in my mind

Lyrics to Tick Of Time :
Oh honey please, don't shed no tears
As long as im here.....

Its far too early in the morning to be trying to call you
And far too early in the daytime to be thinking about that

But I, (but I), but I, (but I), but I am

What did i do in a past life, oh to deserve this
Yeah the way I make myself
He's far too innocent to be a part of such a cruel world
And it is, and it is and it is

And so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine,
Get off this situation and feel fine.

What did i do to deserve her love,
I have to ask myself.
When i am such a bad man but only to her (only to her, only, only to her)

Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Wishing, hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine,
Get off this situation and feel fine

Lyrics to Watching The Ships Roll In :
Watching the ships roll in
hoping that I will still be his friend
in the morning
watching those ships roll by
wishing that I could move this earth
if I could
for you I would do

I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be

Still watching the oceans move
if only I could show you my soul
and places I've been

watching the ocean come
and little girls playing in the sand as I walk
longing to listen to you talk

But I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be

I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be

Lyrics to No Longer :
I'm must say that I worry for
You can't live like this no more
I'm must say that I worry for you

I'm must say that I worry for
Our love in this cold war
I'm must say that I worry for you

Took me by suprise
that I just didn't see
She had a dark past,
of broken hearts
and she wanted love
But in the darkest times
she'll be honest with lies
Put her word in fancy dress
and we'll keep up this disguise

No longer, its not getting stonger, no longer for me

I'm must say that I worry for
You can't live like this no more
I'm must say that I worry for you
But you don't wanna think no more
Passed out on your bedroom floor
I'm must say that I worry for you

Took me by suprise
that I once made a key
to open her dark heart
he broke apart what was once in love
But its clear now to see,
that man he was me,
so I go far far away from here
don't you follow me

No longer were not getting stonger, no longer for me

I'm must say that I worry for
You can't live like this no more
I'm must say that I worry for you
I'm must say that I worry for
Our love in this cold war
I'm must say that I worry for you

I worry for you
I worry for you
I worry for you
I worry for you

I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for

Lyrics to Fa La La La La :
Mmmmmmm.

You're out there having fun
And I need you
I'm alone with this song
About being empty
And the fear of missing out
It's hard to be alone
Nineteen miles I've walked
Up and down the hall

Long hall

Oh god I miss my girl
It's only been a night
I miss the last time
That we had a fight
Isn't it sad?
Won't you say it's bad?
I don't care and if I have to
I'll read your books
Cause they'll remind me of you

And I'll learn your notes
So that I have a clue
And I'll watch your films
So I'll know them through and through
And I'll do the things that remind me of you
And I'll wash my hair in your shampoo
And I'll buy your perfume
And spray it round my room
And I'll smoke your cigarettes
So that I'm dying too
And I'll call you up

Fa la la la
Fa la la la
Fa la la la
Oh

Am I sane?
Am I sane?
Am I sane?

Mmmmmmm.

Lyrics to By My Side :
When you feel like you've fallen out of use,
Come by my side,
The starved pain my girl you have induced,
Come dine by my side,

Everything she said to me was true,
So now I know why,
You look blue, it's eating through you,
So come by my side,

Don't want to fall out of love with you,
Don't let me fall out of love with you,

I'll dig down and I'll search for a heart of gold,
In your diamond mind,
Don't you know I'd farm the world,
To come dine by your side,

Everything you say to me gets through,
So now I know why I'm not through with life,
Because of you,
So come by my side,

Don't want to fall out of love with you,
Don't let me fall out of love with you,

Girl you know that I still need you,
Pick it up and we'll find a way,

Lyrics to See The Sun (Alternate Version) :
Oh no, I didn't mean to say what I did say
About lovers and how they should lay
That was never for me to say and say
Don't you see now how I pay

I see the sun rising
But all you see is fall, fall, fall

So come on up
Wasn't you who said life was like a plastic cup
To be used and then disposed of
But that's no way to live a life like yours
Don't you see now how I pay

I see the sun rising
But all you see is fall, fall, fall

For all the times I never
Never turned away
And now she's here on someone else's arm

For all the times I never
Never turned her way
And now she's here on someone else's arm
