Fingers And Thumbs 10. You Showed Me 11. Ready Or Not 12. Fishes On The Line 1 Imaginary FriendsHe's moving into an Art Deco pad To swell the ranks of the clinically sad Shaking off the past with a change of address But keeps the telephone number and hopes for the best He makes a list of all his favourite friends Then leaves his footprints on the steps that shine With tears that he has wept again... and again... He bought his clothes from a skateboard boutique Hung around in places where nobody speaks Got on line to an internet club Played Trivial Pursuit with the goddess of love And counted his imaginary friends, got up to ten Lost count and then went out to walk the streets 'Til God knows when. He met a girl who liked a bit of a laugh He gained the youth he'd forgotten to have So now they mess around with things that are highly illegal Often get mistaken for interesting people And no-one ever seems to ring their bell But do they care, well do they hell They're gonna kiss and never tell again... and again... 2 You Bet Your LifeGet a life, get a job, did you know you were The kind of slob who's in bed asleep all day I used to be that way Here and now although I never say out loud Now and then you know that there's a moment when I could leave, get out now, get on And roll the world is big and round Anytime, any day, I used to think that way Oh but I know it's true, she's got a hold on you And then bet your life, it just went sailing by Her whole world's intoxicating me All my senses are at sea She's the kind of girl, she's got you in a whirl It gets so complicated Me, I'm not proud, I'll say how the girl is So frustrating, keeps the wishing, Keeps me waiting Lost in this world like a child all at sea You see your life drifting by but today's all you need Oh I just know it's true, she's got a hold on you Oh and it feels so nice, this feels like paradise You've bet your life. 3 Waiting For Today To HappenThe usual dreams, the usual schemes Same lost feelings, same bad day dreams Only unreal and delirious, out of breath and out of luck Sometimes, when I wake up slowly Paralysed by the fear within me Waiting for today to happen Waiting for a vague impression Waiting for today to happen Waiting here with nothing but disaster Nailed tight to his bed forever Turn out the lights tomorrow, whatever, I'm so hung over with sleep, All I want to do is dream and dream and dream Just lie down and never leave Put myself here at your knees Sometimes, when I wake up slowly Paralysed by the fear within me Waiting for today to happen Waiting for a vague impression Waiting for today to happen Waiting here with nothing but disaster Nailed tight to his bed forever Turn out the lights tomorrow, whatever... 4 What If...You've been away so long, what's wrong with us today We're running our of funny things to say Home, I'm almost glad you made it I'd never thought I'd see the day What if now, after all What if everything you've got made you want more What if now, after all, you're still not sure. Remember, when a thought could last forever and a day Well, let's get back to waking up that way Love, I'm almost glad we've made it I never thought we'd see the day What if now, after all What if everything you've got made you want more What if now, after all, you're still not sure. But before you slip, take a friendly tip From a friendly face on a sinking ship Don't ever doubt it, scream and shout it out. What if I miss you? What if I need you? 5 Sugar Coated IcebergI don't care what songs you sing Or how you think of all those pointless things Sweet nothings what you bring So fly away on sugar coated wings I'm sinking deep, I'm going under That sugar coated iceberg tastes so sweet Until you tumble, those sugar coated lies All those tricky things you said On angel wings they're flying around my head You were cheap but I was sold I should forget you but I won't be told I'm sinking deep, I'm going under That sugar coated iceberg tastes so sweet Until you tumble, those sugar coated lies Sweet and sour, as gold and coal A sugar iceberg stole my soul And hit it deep inside my heart Threw it through me like a poison dart I'm sinking deep, I'm going under That sugar coated iceberg tastes so sweet Until you tumble, those sugar coated lies My little sweet sugar coated iceberg You melt beneath my feet You shook me up, but then I tumbled those Sugar coated lies 6 Touch And GoA smile to break the ice Can I know your name? If you say no and it's touch and go Nothing would have been the same Oh was it stardust or just lust Well one touch is just not enough Faces change but somewhere in the passing crowd The face you just can't live without Nothing's changed but nothing seems the same Remembering a thousand things I meant to say The past's a sea of boys and girls Who disappeared without a word All friends of mine who had their time, then drifted away. Delights, dizzy heights, Will you change your name? If you say no and it's touch and go Nothing's going to seem the same Oh but the stars are out, they're shining down They whisper through the passing clouds Don't be scared the wind will come, blow you home Don't be afraid, 'cos you're not alone Nothing's changed but nothing seems the same Remembering a thousand things I meant to say The past's a sea of boys and girls Who disappeared without a word All friends of mine who had their time, then drifted away. Tell it to me one more time Oh 'cos I'll never get to feel the same way, tonight I'll remember every line, every line I'll never get to hear the same words, not twice Nothing's changed but nothing seems the same Remembering a thousand things I meant to say The past's a sea of boys and girls Who disappeared without a word All friends of mine who had their time, then drifted away. Remember all the Mersey skies On rainy streets, I spent the night With friends on mine who had their time, then drifted away. 7 Like You DoYou have to cut right through all the Pepsi lies And hold on tight, it's a stormy ride To get through to what you do Like you do, from wheels that never turn And lessons never learned Searching for a space where dreams will never burn Through the twists and turns, it's a funny world Are you the King of Cool with a secret sign Or the King of Fools in a pack of lies Get through to what you do Like you do, from keys that never wind A place without a time Wishing on a star that's never gonna shine Through the twists and turns, it's a funny world Get through to what you do Like you do from wheels that never turn, Lessons never learned Searching for a space where dreams will never burn Through the twists and turns, it's a funny world Be everything you are, cherish what is true Celebrate with those who need to be with you Through the twists and turns, it's a funny world 8 WishawaySee those eyes are brown I wish they were blue Take that wish away and make it come true I know you could be wrong but maybe you're right Take that wish away and do what you like A wishaway You laugh and grab the words before they get loose Put that wish away, in case it comes true I wish today you'd stay, maybe tonight You'd blow away the smoke and hold me tight A wishaway Oh don't you lie, I can read your mind I know you never would but you feel as though You wish you could be A wishaway Do you feel alive, will you be alright I hope you do, I know you do. 9 Fingers And ThumbsI'm all fingers and thumbs, I don't know what I've done It's always the same and it won't fall into place You say I wish you'd stay 'cos I'm missing you And I say every day, I'm going to think of you If I'm a million miles away, you're still always on my mind You're thinking for yourself I can see And nothing seems the way it's supposed to be I'm all fingers and thumbs, I don't know what I've done Instead of making me glad it's driving me mad I know it won't be the same in a year or two Sometimes you won't mind if I'm gone What d'you make of it all, when you're world is so small All the answers to find as the future unwinds. 10 You Showed MeYou showed me how to do Exactly what you do How I fell in love with you Oh, it's true Oh I love you You showed me how to say Exactly what you say In that very special way Oh, it's true You fell for me too And when I tried it, I could see you fall And I decided it's not a trip at all You taught it to me too Exactly what you do And now you love me too Oh it's true We're in love, we two You showed me how you do Exactly what you do How I fell in love with you You showed me how to say Exactly what you say In that very special way You taught it to me too Exactly what you do And now you love me too 11 Ready Or NotYou know I can't stay at home With all this time to kill You know I can't sit still tonight I've gotta make some noise I'm jumping up and down I've gotta get out now I've gotta shout out loud Oh you make me be alright It's like the tippermost, toppermost high Oh it's you, you, you... Crack up your face and give us a smile Because tonight I just wanna be wild I've got a million thoughts And when I've thought them all I'll find a million more tonight And when I'm feeling sad You know it's such a drag And then I get so mad And then I feel so bad Oh you make me be alright It's like the tippermost, toppermost high Crack up your face and give us a smile Oh it's you, you, you... Ready or not Here we go until we drop Don't be square Fix your face and grow your hair Oh you make me be alright It's like the tippermost, toppermost high 'Cos tonight I just wanna go wild Oh it's you, you, you... Ready or not Here we go until we drop Don't be square Fix your face and grow your hair Here, now, anywhere 12 Fishes On The LineThe fish is on the line He's wriggled off this time And now he's free The fish is doing well But only time will tell So he needs to find out why He shouldn't try Does she even care if he's not there Oh I don't believe in this at all There must be so much more No I didn't mean what I just said I meant something else instead The fish is under the spell He wonders how he fell But he never found out why He didn't try He shouldn't try Does she even care if he's not there Oh I don't believe in this at all There must be so much more No I didn't mean what I just said I meant something else instead Sometimes, it's hard to think It's like your mind is on the blink You sink deep and time just flew. |
