You say it's you it's not me, it's not meant to be
And well you're off leaving 'cause you've got to be free
Well if you're leaving it's true, I'm coming too
And I'll be right behind you watching everything you do
'Cause if I can't have you, nobody else can...
Read 'em and weep, you're in at the deep
You know I don't feel normal unless I've had no sleep
But when I've had no sleep, I don't know why
But my mind gets devious and double sly
'Cause if I can't have you nobody else can...
I think I saw you in the street last week
When I followed you round and you refused to speak,
I think I saw you at the traffic lights
When I pulled alongside you seven times last night,
I think I saw when you were working late
And when I popped up in the middle of your dinner date,
I think I saw when you were all alone
But you weren't all alone because I followed you home,
I think I saw when you were going out
'Cause I was hiding in the bushes outside your house,
I think I saw you, I think I saw you, I think I saw you
Oh no, it wasn't you...

It's a fine line between laughter and tears
A fine line between laughter and tears
It's a fine line between hopes and fears
A fine line between good and bad ideas
A fine line between love and hate
A fine line between love and hate
Between the big wide world and the garden gate
Having a wobble and playing it straight
You, you ought to know
It's only love that's gonna help you grow
It's a fine line between you and I
A fine line between you and I
Between the times we tried and forgot to try
Saying hello but really meaning goodbye
A fine line between sinner and saint
A fine line between sinner and saint
Well is you is or is you ain't
As interesting as drying paint now
You, you ought to know
It's only love that's gonna help you grow
'When will it ever change?' you said
Well change can only happen in your head
It's a fine line between laughter and tears
A fine line between laughter and tears
It's a fine line between weeks and years
A fine line between good and bad ideas
Well wouldn't it be nice, if we took our own advice?

The Reason Why
04:04
|
|||
|
Well everyone can be sacred and everyone can be sly
And that's why, that's why, that's why
Everybody's the truth and, everybody's a lie
And that's why, that's why, that's why
I only do what I am able, I'm only able when I try
But with my feet under your table, I'm able to fly
And that's the reason why
Everybody's the spider and everybody's the fly
And that's why, that's why, that's why
Everyone's got a liver, and everybody will die
And that's why, that's why, that's why
I only do what I am able, I'm only able when I try
But with my feet under your table, I'm able to fly
At least I think that's why
I said I'd meet you in the middle eight
But I was lying, so you'll have to wait
And anybody worth their weight is worth waiting for
So shine your light on me...

Give It To Someone
02:23

You can get through life, missing something
And you can get through life, wishing it all away
And you can play it dumb, or you can get it on
And give it to someone
And you can get through life, missing someone
You can get through life, wishing they'd always stayed
And you can play it dumb, or you can get it on
And give it to someone
Don't be a stranger, to the ones you love
And don't believe 'em when they tell you it was written in the stars above
Just scrub it out and then, write it out again
Now that would be something
So you can get through life, missing something
And you can get through life, wishing it all away
And you can play it dumb, or you can get it on
And give it to someone

On social media, when somebody dies
Everybody wants to be the first one to sympathise
#RIPCELEBRITY
On social media, when somebody's passed
Everybody wants to be the first one to kiss their ass
#RIPCELEBRITY
And it's alright if it's a Sinatra
But not the bass player for Rene & Renata
Or a bloke who knew the fella out of Carter...
The Unstoppable Sex Machine
And still it all might start to unravel
Just like everyone regretted Jimmy Savile
And there's a name that probably won't travel
Which is a reason itself it seems
So #RIPCELEBRITY...

Falling out with your friend's girl
Falling out with your friend's girl is easy
Falling out with your friend's girl
Falling out with your friend's girl is easy
'Cause everyone knows, that girls are psychos
Falling out with your friend's guy
Falling out with your friend's guy is easy
Falling out with your friend's guy
Falling out with your friend's guy is easy
Because the thing about guys is that they're riddled with lies
I could tell you everything I know, but I don't know nothing
I could tell you everything I know 'cause I do know one thing
Falling out with your friend's Ma
Falling out with your friend's Ma is easy
And falling out with your friend's Pa
Falling out with your friend's Pa is easy
Because whatever friends do, they like to blame it on you...

I think I might've frayed your temper once again and I can't remember why
But there's something in the way that you sigh, something in the way you sigh
We didn't really fight and both of us are right, I know I didn't make you cry
But something in the way that you sigh, something in the way you sigh
So tell me when, and I can leave
But until then, I'll still believe
And it'll be the same old, same old used to be
Me bugging you, you tolerating back at me
I think you've reached the end of your tether once again, I think I must've fallen foul
There's something in the way that you scowl, something in the way that you scowl
But you don't wanna talk and I don't wanna walk, I'm never throwing in the towel
But something in the way that you scowl, something in the way that you scowl
So tell me when, and I can leave
But until then, I'll still believe
And it'll be the same old, same old used to be
Me bugging you, you tolerating back at me
And though my thoughts are pixellated, they sometimes show their face
It's no good sitting round frustrated, the world won't slow its pace
So tell me when, and I can leave
But until then, I'll still believe
And it'll be the same old, same old used to be
Me bugging you, you tolerating back at me

I see you like the things I like, I see you hate the things I hate
You'd better get me on your side before it's much too late
You know I'll only drag you down, but I can drag you down in style
I'll never make you feel too good, but I can make it last for a while
Could it be, that you feel like following me down?
Could it be, that you feel like falling in love?
Could it be, that you feel like following me around?
Could it be, that you feel like falling in love?
I've seen the light and I've seen the dark and I can see what's inbetween
But I can never see if you can see just what I mean
I'll never take you nowhere, you aint never been before
I'm living in and I'm looking out since my luck ran out of the door
Could it be, that you feel like following me down?
Could it be, that you feel like falling in love?
Could it be, that you feel like following me around?
Could it be, that you feel like falling in love?
I'll run at the first sign of trouble, that'll be me quick march on the double...

Fry You In My Mind
03:04
|

You've been playing with my life for much too long
You're not too gallant, and the balance is wrong
My head's on fire, but the pleasure's all mine
'Cause I'm finding time to fry you in my mind
I've been plotting your downfall in the middle of the night
It may never happen, but then again it might
And that's the beauty in a beast of this kind
'Cause I'm finding time to fry you in my mind
And now you've made the sun go down upon my day for one last time
And now you've made your bed you're gonna lie there lonely
'Cause someone's got it in for you, someone's got it in for you
You've been fobbing me off now for a thousand and one years
You might get my weakness, but you won't find my fears
My eyes pop out to watch my temperature climb
'Cause I'm finding time to fry you in my mind

I was unforgiving, trying to scrape a living
Pitching out a plan to plot
You were quite the winner, bitching like a sinner
Boasting about the lot you got
Hey down below, you know you never really know 'til you know
Hey down below, well you never really know 'til you know
You were well respected, damaged and affected
Dreaming of the other side
Always convalescing, searching for a blessing
Couldn't make it if you tried
Hey down below, you know you never really know 'til you know
Hey down below, well you never really know 'til you know
I've seen the light come streaming in and it's brighter than it was before
I've never liked the song it sings, so I let it out of my back door
I saw the wise man shuffling by, and he told me I should cut and run
I never asked the reason why, 'cause he asked me not to spoil his fun
Hey down below, you know you never really know 'til you know
Hey down below, well you never really know 'til you know

Flee And Be Free
04:38

So I've been told, you'll never grow old
Or only as old as you're supposed to do
So while you're around, I find myself bound
to borrow as much as I can from you
If you find a new way, you really must say
I'll step out alone and be damned
Leave you to sleep, and prowling the streets
I'll find another home for all the permanence we planned
Back in the day, you used to say
We're only as old as we want to be
That was a lie, we're all gonna die
And the older we get it's more likely
Fortunately, you know it's not me
Who lives with their head in the sand
That's down to you, so all I can do
Is sing a little more until you finally understand
That when your phone stops ringing and nobody's singing
all the songs that you tore from your soul
And when the road stops weaving, and everyone's leaving
and your heart's not in it at all
And when the rats come running, the summer's stopped sunning
left your dreams spark out on the floor
Well there's a new life waiting, where nobody's hating
on the other side of the door
So flee and be free...
