These Days 04:40
These Days I never was one for dipping my toe in first I never was one for toeing the line and I never was one for keeping a lid on it I never was one for leaving my old ghosts behind and I never was one for getting off scot free won’t somebody tell me who’s Scott and how come he gets it so damn easy? cos these days just seep from my eyes and I’m waiting patiently for my next big surprise I never was one to write it up on the calendar I never was one to ask about football scores and I never was one to walk away gracefully I never was one to lose the battle but win the war and I never was one for being luke warm so if you see Luke later, ask him to give a bit more cos these days just seep from my eyes and I’m waiting patiently for my next big surprise you can tell me it’s the journey, not the destination and I’ll do my best not to roll my eyes cos I never was one I always felt more like two and if I ever was one you can bet I was dreaming of you I was dreaming I was

Lacquer 02:50
LACQUER Lacquer me with flattery And lack subtlety in your repartee tonight We’re both part of this parody I don’t expect to see any honesty in your eyes You don’t you don’t you don’t You don’t need to know me Focus on the girl you’ve got superimposed over me I won’t mind I might even sympathise You might even chance to find I know exactly how you feel So tell me about the last book you’ve read Don’t look I haven’t heard a single word you’ve said Still got this old sad song Reeling through my head tonight You don’t you don’t you don’t You don’t need to know me Focus on the girl you’ve got superimposed over me I won’t mind I might even sympathise You might even chance to find I know exactly how you feel You might even chance to find And you might chance to find And if you do chance to find I won’t tell you how I feel So lacquer me with flattery…..

February Day 04:52
February Day I get a little brittle baby I whittle away world weary the sky is teary on this February day people get so damn hard to take but just shut your mouth for goodness sake better be good for goodness sake better not pout better not cry better not shout I get a little worn out baby I burn down to the quick they suck you in and then they spit you out and what ‘cha gonna do about it? a strong will in a strange wind and it don’t end until you bend it don’t end until you I get a little righteous baby I’ll chew off your ear and the very next time you try to put on your glasses it simply won’t be there wish that I could change your mind but brick walls are a waste of time when am I ever gonna learn?

Claire 03:29
CLAIRE Claire can’t you hear them Can’t you hear them taking sides? Pay them no attention Their talk is full of lies Claire…..Claire Claire can you hear him? He’s about to change his mind So you listen closely And just let him take his time Claire he never betrayed you It was all because of me Uninvited, late at night Just wanting company Claire……Claire The waiting made him weary The distance wore him down But Claire he’s only human You just weren’t around Claire you must believe me He made damn sure I knew That you’re his Claire No one else comes near None of us compares To Claire Claire please give him one more chance And try for a new start I beg you cos I love him But it’s you who has his heart.

Marilyn 03:20
MARILYN She’s got lips just like Marilyn But a tongue sharp as a knife Not much of a weapon Just seems to get her in more strife Sometimes the world just gets her down It never seems to make room for her dreams Oh yeah this world just gets her down Cos nobody wants to listen to her schemes She’s got a head full of music But a heart full of rage And she’ll teach you all a lesson But she won’t turn another page But she’ll make you believe her It’s that sparkle in her eye But when you say you’ll never leave her She just hangs you out to dry Oh yeah the world just gets her down Never seems to make room for her dreams. Oh yeah this world just gets her down Cos nobody wants to listen to her schemes She’s got a candle in her window frame She burns every night And she’s singing down the street now She’ll give the neighbours all a fright Oh yeah the world just gets her down Do you think they’ll ever make room for her dreams? Oh yeah the world just gets her down Do you think they’ll ever listen to her schemes? With her lips just like Marilyn But a tongue sharp as a knife Not much of a weapon Just seems to get her in more strife And we’ll get no sleep tonight
