1 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 the 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 out lives behind
I watched the stars go out

Is it asking too much of my favourite friends
To take these songs for real
Is it asking too much of my partners hands
To take these songs for real

But as the stars are going out
And the 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 out lives behind
I watched the stars go out

We'll take out hearts outside...

We'll take our hearts outside
Leave out lives behind
I watched the stars go out

Is it asking too much?

2 Anywhere


I'll be around, anywhere
Any place you want me
Now I'll be around, anywhere
Any time I'm free

In time the stakes will change
Even persisternation couldn't stay
Now I don't mind
Now I don't mind

Cos I'll be around, anywhere
Any place you want me
Now I'll be around, anywhere
Any time I'm free

In time this place is mine
You know the inspiration in my smile
It's I don't mind
No I don't mind

Cos I'll be around, anywhere
Any place you want me
Now I'll be around, anywhere
Any time I'm free

I don't mind, no I don't mind
Leave it all behind
I don't mind...

You know the inspiration in my smile
You know the inspiration,
You know the inspiration,

I'll be around, anywhere
Any place you want me
Now I'll be around, anywhere
Any time I'm free

I'll be around, anywhere
Any place you want me
Now I'll be around, anywhere
Any time I'm free

3 Just A Girl She Said


Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me...

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 and 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 and 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 want to try

It's alright I'm just a girl she said
You can't buy me and take me to bed
Cos I think, cos I feel
And you don't really matter at all

I'm a person who speaks and a person who thinks
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 want to try

Don't look in my eyes, you may be surprised
To find I have answers to your questions why
As I have no feelings or thoughts of my own
But I know that you want to try

It's alright I'm just a girl she said
Talk down to me and take me to bed
I don't think, I don't feel
And I don't really matter at all

I'm a person who speaks and a person who thinks
But you hope I'll forget as you ply me with drink
You cannot buy me and you cannot use me
But I know that you want to try

Just a girl she said, just a girl she said
I know that you want to try...
Just a girl she said, just a girl she said
I know that you want to try...
Just a girl she said, just a girl she said
Just a girl she said, just a girl she said
I know that you want to try...

Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me...
Just a girl, just a girl she said
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me...
Just a girl, just a girl she said
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me...

4 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 one 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

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
I'll be the one who's there
Yes I'll be the one who's there.

5 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 still showing

I'll wear a new dress, wash my clothes
I'll wear the clothes that you chose
And if the man you've grown to be's
More Morrison than Morrissey
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 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...

All this time I've waited knowing
Though I've changed my heart still showing

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

All this time I've waited knowing
Though I've changed my heart still showing
No-one else would have me so
I've made this day of all days
The day I see you again...

6 Week In, Week Out


It's not you and it's not me
It's a feeling now and then
It's not you and it's not me

To your face I find it hard to say
A word about your ways, that's o.k.
Your smile, the bravest face of all

Look your eyes are trying 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 at all...

It's not you and it's not me
It's a feeling now and then
It's not you and it's not me

Warmth and smiles as we follow this old game
And we're looking through windows the colour of wine
And second by second, they close, leaving me behind

It's not you and it's not me
It's a feeling now and then
It's not you and it's not me

It's not you and it's not me
It's a feeling now and then
It's not you and it's not me

Here am I, dressed in my bravest face
Same time, same place, week in, week out
I can't give you any more somehow
The goal to mention, you know my susceptable mind
And unwind, unlock my defences
And I'll be here, dressed in a brave face
Your choice, same time, same place...
Next week...

7 Not So Manic Now


The winds whistling, my mind's twisting
I was making myself the 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 neighbours

And she's lifting and throwing to the wall
The postnatal 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 started shaking slowly to the door
Through the frosted panel I could see you
You attentions of a salesman truly push
You endeavour as a cycle just to push
And whilst lifting and throwing to the wall
My puny structure of an aging OAP
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, (not so manic now)
I'm not so manic now, (not so manic now)
I'm not so manic now, (not so manic now)
I'm not so manic now, (not so manic now)

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 neighbours

And she's lifting and throwing to the wall
The postnatal harmonies of youth
When this younger man, twenty-five
Advantageously took away her pride

I'm not so manic now, I'm not so manic now
I'm not so manic now, I'm not so manic now, not so manic now
I'm not so manic now, I'm not so manic now, not so manic now
I'm not so manic now, I'm not so manic now, not so manic now
I'm not so manic now, I'm not so manic now,
Not so manic now

8 Popdorian


Dorian puts on a smile and he's out tonight
Dorian always forgetting what's out of sight
Every other weekend he's round 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 okay
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 own face now
Dorian realising he's had it now
For Dorian... Dorian... Dorian... Dorian...

9 Not Once, Not Ever


Hello my dear friend
Your reputation quite true
These are thoughts I've held on
And saved inside for you

Cos 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

Cos 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 said this from the start
That living together is something you do
And married is something you are
Laaaa...

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
Out best decisions
So often were unplanned

I remember: couldn't trust you once, not ever
I remember: couldn't trust you once... not ever

Not ever, not ever, not ever...

10 St. Swithin's Day


Thinking back now, I suppose you were just stating your view
What was it all for? For the weather or the battle of Ashingcore?
And times that we all hoped would last
Like a train they have gone by so fast
And though we stood together by the edge of the platform
We were not moved by them...

With my own hands, when I 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...

Thank's 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 like the love we spoke of forever on St. Swithin's Day...

On St. Swithin's Day...

11 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... oh... Will we ever say no?
Disgraceful... oh... Will we ever say no?

It's wine that we 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?

Disgraceful... oh... Will we ever say no?
Disgraceful... oh... Will we ever say no?

This match that I'm burning
Two people stood looking for something else

Disgraceful... oh... Will we ever say no?
Disgraceful... oh... Will we ever say no?
Disgraceful... oh... Will we ever say no?
