1 Please Be Gentle With Me

Please be gentle with me
Cos I've been on a long hard losing streak
And I've been down in the dumps
I've been well and truly humped
And my clothes don't seem to fit
Yes my haircut's looking sh-

Please be gentle with me
Yes my singing has gone flat out of key
Oh I've been down in the bin
Crawled right up and back in again
And my clothes don't seem to fit
Yes my haircut's looking

I say to myself (I say to myself)
Have I been cursed? (Have I been cursed?)
Things are back and they get worse (Can they get worse?)

Please be gentle with me
Yes my backside is hanging out the breeze
Oh I've been down in the dumps
I've been well and truly humped
And my clothes don't seem to fit
Yes my haircut's looking shhhh...

I say to myself (I say to myself)
Have I been cursed? (Have I been cursed?)
Things are back and they get worse (Can they get worse?)

Please be gentle with me, be gentle with me,
Be gentle with me, be gentle with me
Be gentle with me, be gentle with me
Be gentle with me,

Please be gentle with me (me) me (me) me (me) me (me)
Please be gentle with me (me) me (me) me (me) me (me)
Please be gentle with me (me) me (me) me (me) me (me)
Please be gentle with me

2 Smile

Every silver lining has a cloud
And each piece of good fortune
Must be paid for by the pound

I've become so cynical these days
I don't know how it started but it won't go away

See the lines around my eyes
See the sarcasm in my smile

You'd better smile (smile) smile (smile) smile (smile) smile (smile)
Smile (smile) smile (smile) smile (smile) smile (smile)
Cos that's all that you've got left
Your life's a mess
You've been cut adrift
You'd better smile, you'd better smile

I feel like a Darlek inside
Everything's gone grey
But you still be so black and white

See the lines around my eyes
See the sarcasm in my smile

You'd better smile (smile) smile (smile) smile (smile) smile (smile)
Smile (smile) smile (smile) smile (smile) smile (smile)
Cos that's all that you've got left
Your life's a mess
You've been cut adrift
You'd better smile, you'd better smile

I've become so cynical these days
I don't know how it started but it won't go away

You'd better smile, you'd better smile
You'd better smile, you'd better smile
You'd better smile (smile) smile (smile) smile (smile)
You'd better smile (smile) smile (smile) smile (smile)
You'd better smile (smile) smile (smile) smile (smile)
You'd better smile (smile) smile (smile) smile

Cos that's all that you've got left
Your life's a mess
You've been cut adrift

3 Glimpse Of The Light

She left a big hole
Bigger than one the council would have dug
And I tried to fill it
But most of the applicants were duds

Oh you slip through my hands
Like water through sand and left only dust
And I saw you last week
Out with your mum round the waterworks

And it doesn't matter if I was wrong or right
At least you gave me a glimpse of the l-i-ght
(Glimpse of the l-i-ght...)
Glimpse of the l-i-ght
(Glimpse of the light...)

We all make mistakes
And then when you've made enough
You call it experience
I don't want to go back
I don't want a second chance

And it doesn't matter if I was wrong or right
At least you gave me a glimpse of the l-i-ght
(Glimpse of the l-i-ght...)
Glimpse of the l-i-ght
(Glimpse of the light...)

And it doesn't matter if I was wrong or right
At least you gave me a glimpse of the l-i-ght
(Glimpse of the l-i-ght...)
Glimpse of the l-i-ght
(Glimpse of the light...)

4 Lazy Lover

She's been giving me hassle about my attitude
I've been catching up on my sleep
Why don't you make a very special effort
Why don't you just give me peace

I tried to fix it so many times
But there's something wrong in my mind

Because I'm her lover; her lazy, lazy, lover
I can't be bothered getting into bed
I'm her lover; her lazy, lazy, lover
I'd much rather do it in my head

Sitting in her garden
Sitting in a deckchair
She's in a swimsuit eating icecream
Looking delicious
Don't mean to be malicious
But my mind isn't where it should be

I tried to fix it so many times
But there's something wrong in my mind

Because I'm her lover; her lazy, lazy, lover
I can't be bothered getting into bed
I'm her lover; her lazy, lazy, lover
I'd much rather do it in my head

I'd much rather do something else instead!

I tried to fix it so many times
But there's something wrong in my mind

Because I'm her lover; her lazy, lazy, lover
I can't be bothered getting into bed
I'm her lover; her lazy, lazy, lover
I'd much rather do something else instead

I'm her lover; her lazy, lazy, lover
I can't be bothered getting into bed
I'm her lover; her lazy, lazy, lover
I'd much rather do something else instead
Else instead, else instead
I'd much rather do something else instead!

5 Love Has Passed Away

Today I woke with a headache
I took some pills but I don't think that I'm ready
To face the truth in a world without you

I'm so tired, I turn on the TV
But it's not the same when you're with me
To laugh at my jokes,
Put a stick in my spokes
Well love has passed away
But I visit its grave every day

I put my coat on and outside it's pouring
My suit is dull and my life is so boring
I feel so ill in a world without you
Love has passed away
But I visit its grave every day...

I'm still touched by your presence dear
It's just not the same when you're not here
I'm still touched by your presence dear...

Today I woke up with a headache
I took some pills but I don't think that I'm ready
To face the world without you girl

I've given up on the way I look
Stuck going to the football and I've stopped reading books
I keep myself together by saying it's not forever
Love has passed away
But I visit its grave every day...

I'm still touched by your presence dear
It's just not the same when you're not here
I'm still touched by your presence dear

Love has passed away
But I visit its grave every day...

6 Dung Beetle

Is the fag-end, dead end, place where we must cease?
I'll take your hand, and I'll lead you to the guillotene
Look at mascara run down your cheekbones
You'll have to get used to being alone

You're stuck and tripped, your face is looking pretty beat
But this is one game where you face certain defeat
Don't throw the radio into the bath-tub
Don't take those pills 'cos you don't know what'll come up

I, I I I'm sorry all the same if I'm a liar
But you'll find another flame to light your fire
Light your fire...

Your melodramatic gestures won't do any good
This thing has run its course and I would change it if I could
Don't throw the radio into the bath-tub
Don't take those pills 'cos you don't know what'll come up

I, I I I'm sorry all the same if I'm a liar
But you'll find another flame to light your fire
Light your fire...

I, I I I'm sorry all the same if I'm a liar
But you'll find another flame to light your fire
Light your fire...

I, I I I'm sorry all the same if I'm a liar
But you'll find another flame to light your fire
Light your fire, light your fire, light your fire...

7 Stammer

Recently I've been talking with a stammer
She's got me underneath the hammer

When I said that you were ugly
I meant your personality
I went and made a small mistake
Which was the straw which caused the break

When the pieces fall in place
And they fall back out again
We could sink without a trace

Misery has become my second nature
She's got me so wound up I hate her

Can't you see your majesty
This tensions really getting me
My word of thanks to you my friend
I've been lost and found and back again

When the pieces fall in place
And they fall back out again
We could sink without a trace

Recently I've been talking with a stammer
She's got me underneath the hammer

When I said that you were ugly
I meant your personality
I went and made a small mistake
Which was the straw that caused the break

Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

When I said that you were ugly
I meant your personality

8 I Don't Think So

September and the leaves are dying
But I'm still alive
I'm feeling optimistic but I don't know why
Everything has come to nothing
Is that a surprise?
Looking back in hindsight, it's easy to be wise

Don't give up your day job
Just be content with your lot
Empty your head of those big ideas
I don't think so, I don't think so...

I don't think so, I don't think so, I don't think so
I don't think so, I don't think so, I don't think so

Maybe you're a little bitter,
Maybe you're a little twister,
Maybe I can see crystal clear.
Maybe I'm not even listening,
To your idle comments,
Take all your words and disappear

Don't give up your day job
Just be content with your lot
Empty your head of those big ideas
I don't think so, I don't think so...

I don't think so, I don't think so, I don't think so
I don't think so, I don't think so, I don't think so

Don't give up your day job
Just be content with your lot
Empty your head of those big ideas
I don't think so, I don't think so...

I don't think so, I don't think so, I don't think so
I don't think so, I don't think so, I don't think so

No, no, no...

9 Pie In The Sky

You, glued inside my head
Your photo's under the bed
But I can't go back that far
To driving in your car
We rolled the windows down
We're all out of town

Does he fit you like a glove?
Do you pretend that you're in love?
But you can't get over me
That's what I like to believe
It's all just pie in the sky
A fool has played with love

In the great scheme of things it doesn't matter
I'll get through it a little bruised and battered
Maybe someday I can just laugh at myself

And in a funny kind of way
You're still with me today

10 The Day Before Yesterday's Man

Jesus I'm freaking,
I've had such a weekend
I think I must be turning to God
My girlfriend has dumped me
And headed for the country
For a boy who wears white socks

I wish the papers were burning
The summer was coming along
Instead I'm virtually freezing
And working on this poor little song

Because when the s*** hits the fan
You know I've been an also ran
Please please understand
Yes I'm the day before yesterday's man

The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday

My palms are sweating
I'm trying hard, forgetting
Things that didn't even say
There's nothing on the box
And I'm getting desperate thoughts
That I just can't keep at bay

I wish the tables were turning
Something was coming along
Instead I'm virtually freaking
Everything is going so wrong

Because when the s*** hits the fan
You know I've been an also ran
Please please understand
Yes I'm the day before yesterday's man

The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday

Jesus I'm freaking,
I've had such a weekend
I think I must be turning to dust...

The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday

11 Prepare To Land

Isn't it about time, isn't it about time
Isn't it about time, isn't it about time?

Isn't it about time you faced up to the facts
That you and me are heading for the axe
Isn't it about time we cut the safety net
And said goodbye to the bitterness and regrets

A gulf has opened up between us
You have to face the facts
The tyre's burst, you can't go back
We've used it up, there is no slack

Isn't it about time we went on our separate ways
And said that this old dog has had its day
Isn't it about time we brought the curtain down
On all these sad old days that we've found

The ground has opened up between us
You have to face the facts
The tyre's burst, you can't go back
We've used it up, there is no slack

A gulf has opened up between us
You have to face the facts
The tyre's burst, you can't go back
We've used it up, there is no slack

Isn't it about time? Isn't it about time?
(repeat many times!)

12 Trees

Trees are all stripping off for winter
Somehow that reminds me of you
Sitting in the passenger seat
My life it used to be so complete
Thought I might phone you up this Christmas
And pretend that I haven't missed you
There are layers of self deception
And I've reached the bottom without question

I don't want to talk about it
Bitterness, inner declacy, inner declacy
I, I'm far from overjoyed
I screwed the whole thing up and now I can't avoid
Caught up this cul-de-sac
I really want my old life back

Trees are all stripping off for winter
I really hate December
It's a thirty-one day graveyard
I think I'm ready for the scrapyard

I don't want to talk about it
Bitterness, inner declacy, inner declacy
I, I'm far from overjoyed
I screwed the whole thing up
And now I can't avoid
Caught up this cul-de-sac
I really want my old life back
