Stars is it asking too much to be given time, to know these songs and to sing them? is it asking too much of my vacant smile, and my laugh and lies that bring them? but as the stars are going out, and this stage is full of nothing, and the friends have all but gone for my life, my god i'm singing we'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind... i'll watch the stars go out... is it asking too much of my favourite friends to take these songs for real? is it asking too much for my partners hands to take these songs for real? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anywhere in time the stakes will change even persistination couldn't stay i don't mind, no, i don't mind... i'll be around, anywhere any place you want me... i'll be around, anywhere any time i'm free... in time, this place is mine you know the inspiration in my smile i don't mind, no, i don't mind... leave it all behind, i don't mind... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just a girl she said it's alright, i'm just a girl she said, talk down to me and take me to bed i don't feel, i don't think, and I don't really matter at all kiss me in darkness, turn out the light pretend you're with someone else tonight you don't feel you don't think and i don't really understand why... i'm a person who speaks i'm a person who thinks but you hope i'll forget as you ply me with drinks and you cannot buy me and you cannot use me but i know that you'll want to try... it's alright, i'm just a girl she said, you can't buy me and take me to bed because i think because i feel and you don't matter at all don't look in my eyes you may be surprised to find i have answers to your questions why 'cause i have no feelings or thoughts of my own but i know that you'll want to try... just a girl she said --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elevator song if you need somebody around you well then, I'll be the one who's there if you need somebody to listen well then, I'll be the on who's there but you seem to think you'll manage alone i'll be around and i'll be waiting for your call if you need somebody to love you well then, i'll be the one who's there yes, i'll be the one who's there --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The day i see you again walking home from work tonight, your letter warm i'm holding tight said you want to see me soon i phoned you late this afternoon... the bar we first met seems alive i'll see you there at eight tonight shouldn't think like this - but is there something in us meeting now? all this time, i've waited knowing though i've changed my heart's still showing i'll wear a new dress wash my clothes i'll wear the earrings that you chose if the man you've grown to be is more morrison than morrisey i'll tell you straight as we undress that things got better when you left and though i've banned your name since then i'll call it with my dying breath no one else would have me so i've made this day of all days the day i see you again will you know me, will i cry? will the years that passed decide that, even we who loved and lied, shouldn't meet again tonight? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week in week out it's not you and it's not me, it's a feeling now and then to your face, i find it hard to say a word about your ways that's ok... your smile the bravest face of all look your eyes they try to pin me down save me from myself i won't see you your smile the bravest face of all i don't care for it all... it's not you and it's not me, it's a feeling now and then --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not so manic now the wind's whistling, my mind's twisting, i was making myself he usual cup of tea, when the doorbell strangely rang because i've been up here for a while, i'm starting to feel the monotony of the tower-block i'm not so manic now i can uphold the weight of those neighbors and she's lifting and throwing to the wall the post natal harmonies of youth when this younger man - twenty five - advantageously took away her pride the wind's whistling, my mind's twisting, i was making myself the usual cup of tea, when the doorbell strangely rang i staggered shaking slowly to the door through the frosted panel i can see you, your intentions as a salesman truly cush you endeavoured as a psycho just to push and whilst lifting and throwing to the wall, my puny structure of an ageing o a p no reason why you chose my flat, breathing deeply in a trance the wind's whistling, my mind's twisting, i was making myself the usual cup of tea, when the doorbell strangely rang i'm not so manic now --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Popdorian dorian puts on a smile and he's out tonight dorian always forgetting what's out of sight every other weekend he's around in there old enough to know that he could die but too young to care so dorian puts on a smile and says i'm ok dorian felt alright but i couldn't say collectively we give our trust, so foolishly i never even bothered who was around before me so dorian puts on a smile for my sister now, there's no hate in me for that but i don't know how collectively we give our trust, so foolishly i never even bothered who was around before me so dorian puts on a smile on his old face now dorian realizing he's had it now... for good --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not once, not ever hello, my dear friend, your reputation quite true these are thoughts i've held on and saved inside for you 'cause i remember, couldn't trust you once, not ever maybe it's been two years, it could be three you know it's hard to recall i was younger, i thought it was me maybe you were someone else then, too 'cause i remember couldn't trust you once, not ever i remember couldn't trust you once, not ever and it's the same old thing you know i've said this from the start that living together is something you do and married is something you are and even after all this, i'm writing to you now, to be reminded of it all darling, can you hear me? do you understand? our best decisions so often were unplanned i remember couldn't trust you once, not ever... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. Swithin's day thinking back now i suppose you were just stating your views what was it all for? for the weather of the battle of agincourt? and the times that we all hoped would last, like a train they have gone by so fast and though we stood together on the edge of the platform, we were not moved by them with my own hands, when i make love to your memory, it's not the same, i miss the thunder, i miss the rain and the fact that you don't understand casts a shadow over this land but the sun still shines from behind it... thanks all the same, but i cannot bring myself to answer your letters it's not your fault, but your honesty touches me like a fire the polaroids that keep us together will surely fade away like the love that we spoke of forever on st. swithin's day... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disgraceful i know why you came this time that we borrowed imagine us now talking tomorrow we're not very big, but we're certainly clever to go on together well... what makes sense now? disgraceful... will we ever say no? it's wine that feel, that drives us together this hormonal vision that won't last forever we're old enough now, and we should know better to go on together well... what makes sense now? this match that i'm burning, two people still looking for something else disgraceful... will we ever say no? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't blame me it's half you the rest is me, too the choice was yours it hurts me, too so hate me, don't hate me even though you blame me the inescapable truth that we'll never prove so hate me, don't hate me even though you should... nothing left to say pride got in the way so hate me, don't hate me don't hate me, don't hate me even though you blame me don't hate me, don't hate me even though you say we need to talk you know we never could so hate me, don't hate me even though you should... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If it isn't you if it isn't you and our room is very small even now we've moved around and home by three in time to call hoping doesn't stop me thinking if it isn't you --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Song no. 9 i came to this town a weekend with my boyfriend his final year away, this time remember how we sneaked around the last time? then without a sound, we knew that New Year's just around the corner ...somehow i should be somebody's partner, but we know he's working late - a barman at the union and left me in the house. you were there remember your uncle upon his bedside, and thinking we'd be heard? no one came... christmas seems so far behind me we know new year couldn't be the same you can't face me - I'm just your flatmate's girlfriend and monday I'll be gone... 'til then... i won't touch you, i won't smile - i won't try... you will laugh and be the same - i won't cry... new year's going to be the same... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A certain sadness look out the window at that rainstorm... i've let the wind blow up a brainstorm... and now i'm wondering whether weather like this gets you too...? it may go on like this for hours, too late in fall for April showers so I will call you - got a thought or two i need to share with you, here goes... darling, tell me now, have I done wrong somehow that you won't look at me? needn't point it out, can't keep my wits about when you won't when you won't look at me is there something i ought to know, you're finding hard to say? well there's just a trace hiding on your face, and I've learnt it that way... just another soul that really knows my soul, and you won't look at me? does that take the prize? how much i love those eyes and they won't look at me... now the rain has gone but something lingers on, a certain sadness here, now that the sky is clear and it's all so clear... yes, it's all so clear to me now... and i can't help but feel a certain sadness here to stay... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Excuse me father excuse me father - what i'm trying to say is that i'm scared 'cause all my friends have been laid it's in their eyes and in the things they do with their hands - fastening trousers, holding their hands tight, showing their love bites, where can I hide? excuse me mother - what i'm trying to say is that i think that all my friends have been laid i couldn't hate them, but i don't like the way that it feels - moving inside me, women despise me, children laugh at me, no... help me! don't smush me! help me! don't smush me! excuse me father - what i'm trying to say is that i'm scared because all my friends have been laid it's in their clothes and the way that they brush their hair - talking behind me, holding my glances, mincing their movements, slowing their dances... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Starfish [Instrumental] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bow wow now i see your eyes, you're in the garden today i wonder - if you could talk, just what you'd think to say? you know it's time for us to go, don't help me... tomorrow i'm back here on my own, don't hate me... no pain, no strain, I... i won't forget you we've been here, together, since nineteen-eighty-three i can't bear the thought, you'd have to die before me... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway i'm moving out today, i've nowhere else to stay, so how many friends can i count on now...? and it's easier to stay, but we know it happened anyway... so what's the point? the television's mine, but you'll be keeping the cutlery, and your awful bed this time... and it's easier to stay, but we know it happened anyway, so why pretend that this time we'll fly...? it's really alright it's easier to stay, but i know you've done it anyway... i've found a place to go, no more words to the show, so i'll leave you the keys, this time and it's easier to stay, yes, it's easier to stay you've done it anyway you knew i'd thank you, but you did it anyway it's easier to stay, but you've done it anyway so what's the point? there is no point.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The view from here take my hand, we're leaving, it's easy understand i need you to see this i've found the answer - it's somewhere else 'cause i can see the view from here, all we've planned is there for us i was scorned a long time, frightened being me gets harder each day, but i can see the view from here, all we've planned is there for us take my hand, we're leaving, now understand i need you, be there i've found the answer... i can see the view from here, all we've planned is very near i was scorned a long time, frightened all we've planned is here, now --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A northern bride i am the last in a long line of conquests, completed the contest and made you my one i flattered your friends and slept with you nightly, and not even slightly complained about home 'cause time isn't on my side... there are some things a woman can't hide from i tidy your home, i speak with you mother, and even your brother can tell you i tried to be good for you, with no appreciation, the depreciation my life has come through means this is my final try, to get what i'm sure i deserve, like love, understanding, joy, and a child, a partner who thinks that i'm worthless i've written this note, explaining the reasons ( ) the season you dropped out the week i've transferred away, i'm heading to nowhere, tomorrow, my father will come for my things 'cause time isn't on my side... there are some things a woman can't hide from like love, understanding, joy, and a child, a partner who thinks that i'm worthless |
