My Heart Sinks
04:30
|
|||
|
Same time, different taste
It all ends up as lovers waste
Bar none, You're the best
At painting by the numbers and pissing on your guests
I need to know what to do now
Tell me what to do now
Stand back, that's your choice
Well you tried to find religion when you should've found your voice
Turn off, power down
All because you staked your reputation on a hand me down
I need to know what to do now
Tell me what to do now
Hearts break with such force
There ought to be some kind of recourse
Well hearts lie, that's the truth
They let you down no matter what you do
I need to know what to do now
Tell me what to do now

Two Sides
03:56
|

There are two sides to me
One would never take you back
But one has a poor memory
It's a shame
That the two sides never can agree
There are two sides to me
One side hopes the other one
Will just get up and leave - quietly
And I'm hoping
That the two sides won't get the best of me
Even though I really need you so
I've got to let you go
There are two sides to me
One is desperate to hold on
But one cannot wait to be free
It's about time
That the two sides finally let me be lord let me be
Make up your
Make up your
Make up your mind
There are two sides to me
There are two sides to me
There are two sides to me
There are two sides to me

Beats For No One
03:55
|

|
My heart beats for no one
Not those who know the truth
Nor those without a clue
My heart beats for no one
Not the finely dressed
And not the unimpressed
If my heart beat for someone
It might beat for you before it broke in two
If my heart beat for someone
It would say "Amen" just to die again
So my heart beats for no one
My heart beats for no one
Not the sharply drawn
Nor those with minds undone
My heart beats for no one
Not those you can see inside
Not those who just run and hide
If my heart beat for someone
It might beat for you before it broke in two
If my heart beat for someone
It would say "Amen" just to die again
Lust may take it's chances
In certain circumstances
But hearts must guard finances
And retreat from all advances
So my heart beats for no one
If my heart beat for someone
It might beat for you before it broke in two
If my heart beat for someone
It would say "Amen" just to die again
So my heart beats for no one

Long, Lonely Summer
05:03
|
|||
|
Well my mind stays awake every night til I go lame
And my grip catches up with my heart full of shame
Then the weight of the day catches fire and burns away
And the sound of my blood disappears in the down
One after another I watch my missteps blend
My long lonely summer ain't never gonna end
Turn my head and I hide, Fast asleep and satisfied
Til my chest tightens up and my eyes they open wide
Useless thoughts seeming right broken up by the light
Not a chance, not a hope left in sight
One after another I watch my missteps blend
My long lonely summer ain't never gonna end

Whose Side Are You On
04:25
|
|||
|
Your conscience keeps you far removed from sin
But keeps forgetting all that trouble that you might like to be in
You seem to run from peril at first glance
But if you stayed your ground you might have half a chance
Of wondering which apartment you were in
You got your reasons for staying wound tight
But are they worth another empty night
Logic never fails to find a rationale
But logic's never done a damn thing for your morale
You should be wondering which apartment you were in
whose side are you on?
whose side are you on?
There's good reason to avoid
Those techniques that you've employed
To keep your head even
You always used to land on your feet
But now your memory's always too willing to admit defeat
Remain sequestered for fear of getting burned
When you could just as easily be smiling while your lesson's learned
Instead of knowing which apartment you are in
whose side are you on?
whose side are you on?
There's good reason to avoid
Those techniques that you've employed
To keep your head even
Used to be a time
When both body and mind
Could find something to hold onto
Now you must concede
Where balance used to be
There is nothing left to hold on to
whose side are you on?
whose side are you on?
whose side are you on?
whose side are you on?
There's good reason to avoid
Those techniques that you've employed
To keep your head even

Kitten

Come to me my kitten
I only want to see my kitten
It's been a while my kitten
Come here and make me smile my kitten
I dream of you my kitten
Come make this dream come true my kitten
Forgive me my kitten
I've learned how I should live my kitten
I know you're there my kitten
I can feel you by my side my kitten, my kitten
One day we'll fly away
One day you'll hold me again
And then I'll be happy
And then we can do it all together again
Sit with me my kitten
I only want to feel my kitten
It's cold in here my kitten
Come here and make me well my kitten, my kitten
One day we'll fly away
One day you'll hold me again
And then I'll be happy
And then we can do it all together again
Do it all together again
Do it all together again
Do it all together again

Hearts Will Unwind
03:38
|
|||
|
Everything started off fine
They both swore like drunkards though they'd both sworn off wine
She was an unfaded scar, he wasn't without some charm
And by night number two he'd passed out in her harm
Every movie must end
Every heart meets a mind that will not bend
Every love fades away, if not today....
Nothing they did should have seemed innocent
Beneath their surprise their souls both had been spent
And maybe too quickly things fell into place
But neither one minded what filled up the space
Every movie must end
Every heart meets a mind that will not bend
Every love fades away, if not today....
Hearts will unwind if you just give them the time
My heart has spoken, it's sick of being broken
She wasn't willing to lose
She had trouble to bank on, more losers to choose
And he felt left out on a limb but the truth was
She just didn't feel any different with him
Every movie must end
Every heart meets a mind that will not bend
Every love fades away, if not today....

You'll Be Sorry
04:00
|
|||
|
Oh you should be proud
So stop wondering aloud
You got your song now it's time to settle down
You earned my mistrust
Went for broke but now you've gone bust
Go ahead and laugh if you think it flatters you
I know you do
Your time will come so until then have some fun
You'll be sorry someday
You'll be so sorry someday
An innocuous breach
You don't get it and you're too dumb to teach
Selfish mistress this is in the history books
You can lie to yourself
Cracked actress always practicing
Well if you fuck this up for me I will surrender quietly
Your time will come so until then have some fun
You'll be sorry someday
You'll be so sorry someday
Your mouth keeps moving when it ought to close
You tell your sorry story til everyone knows
Some might buy til they get too close don't you know
Your time will come so until then have some fun
You'll be sorry someday
You'll be so sorry someday

Who Will Forgive You
01:58
|

Who will forgive you when I'm dead la la la
Who'll take the price from your pretty head la la la
I always thought you'd be the first to go
Evidentally I was wrong
Who will forgive you when I'm dead la la la
Who will hear you when I'm in the ground la la la
When you're reborn who will be around la la la
There might be questions that you'd like to ask
But who will answer them now
Who will hear you when I'm in the ground la la la
Well I'm not a Catholic
But there are no free passes
Deeds count for something
Along with believing
Who will you confess to la la la
Who will take your I.O.U. la la la la la la la
I used to think that you might have a soul
It seems unbelievable now
Who will forgive you when I'm dead la la la
Well I'm not a Catholic
But there are no free passes
Deeds count for something
Along with believing
Well I'm not a Catholic
But there are no free passes
Deeds count for something
Along with believing

Sometimes
05:12
|

Sometimes I wake up unaware
Sometimes I should go back to sleep
I ought to believe in something but I can't make the leap
I ought to have faith but I am to self aware
Sometimes I find it hard to care
Sometimes it's useless to compare
Sometimes I do it anyways
Your sunny mood seems to carry on and on for days
You're always smiling while I would never dare
Sometimes I haven't got a prayer
Long lonely walks only seem to cloud up my senses
Infirm but determined to strengthen all of my defenses
Sometimes I wish I was somewhere
I ought to believe in something but I can't make the leap
I ought to have faith but I am to self aware
Sometimes I find it hard to care
Long lonely walks only seem to cloud up my senses
Infirm but determined to strengthen all of my defenses
Sometimes I wish I was somewhere
Sometimes doesn't seem so rare
