Shower
Bored on a Wednesday afternoon
There's nothing else to do
As the sunlight drains away
No need for me to stay
Then as a shower hits the sun
My innocence is gone
The birds have flown away
But it's just another day
What would make you happy?
What is left to say?
What would make you happy?
Why do you tell me to go out
When there's nobody about
They've all gone inside
But there's nowhere left to hide
Now I'm staring at my feet
My brain is in a freeze
Water falling on my head
How I wish i was in bed
What could i have said?
What is left to say?
What could i have said?

Midnight Whispers
Whenever I'm in bed at night
I hide myself from all the light
Memories of a person I've never met
flood into my head
When I kid myself I'm fine
And when I loose all sense of time
I make myself drunk with sleep and keep
my head down
Why does the sun pick on me
when I'm down?
Why does the sun pick on me
when I'm down?
But morning still pulls me out
Same old story
Tomorrow is not about
A new beginning
I keep finding things to find
Proof of a vacant mind
Where does it go well I'm not sure
Out of me
And now as I lay here in bed
I think of all the words you said
They don't mean a thing to me
Anymore
Why does the sun pick on me
when I'm down?
Why does it always have to be
when I'm down?

The Man Who Lost The War
Once there was a man
Who liked to shake hands
With people in the street
Making sure he's on his feet
Catch the early bus
Avoid the morning rush
Then wander through the town
Trying hard not to drown
In the crowd
Then he slowly passed away
Had nothing more to say
Once there was a man
Who liked to kick the can
Thought he was free but he was tame
Taking shelter from the rain
He looked up to the sky
as the world just passed him by
Then he made his way back home
and realised he was alone
Once again

80's Child
Staring at the skirting board
as a child I stood there, with nothing on my mind
Nothing to say to anyone
Self-contained, self-preserved in a world of my
own
And I don't care what anybody thinks of me
'cos I'm an 80's child and nothing can hurt me
Grey skies and rain came all the time
I was happy then, I liked the weather
and looking back as I look outside
as the snow falls down on the icy ground
And I don't care what anybody thinks of me
'cos I'm an 80's child and nothing can hurt me
And I don't care what anybody thinks of me
'cos I'm an 80's child and nothing can hurt me

Into The Sun
I'll tell you a secret
when we are all asleep
Our beds are in our heads midday
just listen for the bleep
We can do no better
than what it is we've done
Burn me like a fire
Shot into the sun
All that I'll ever want is all I'll never have
All that I'll ever need is all the love I have
All that I'll ever want is all I'll never have
'cos my life still goes on
Geriatric fathers
and mothers, all the same
What you want will never come
and time will take away
Dry and cold and bitter
legless, on the run
Burn me like a fire
Shot into the sun

8. My Best Friend
My best friend is a quiet person
We can talk forever
Our lives are the same
We have ourselves to blame
But we don't really care
We'll see each other there
My best friend and me
In blissful poverty
Show me something I've never seen
But don't expect me to apreciate it
All that's left now has gone and been
Pain in my head from what I fear tomorrow
But he's not getting sleep
His cuts are far too deep
It's all up to me
But what else could I be?
But we don't really care
We'll see each other there
My best friend and me
In blissful poverty
But he's not getting sleep
His cuts are far too deep
It's all up to me
But what else could I be?

Cocktails
Drink the sun
and when you're done
Don't look at me
You're not the one
You're not the one
The time has come
For everyone
To come and see
It's just for fun
It's just for fun
Every time the sun falls down
I wonder where I'll be
Walking through a field at night
Or staring out to sea
But cocktails never fail to shine
Where people welcome me
I just need a helping hand
When I can't find my key
Hypnotised
By someone's eyes
No-one can see you
You'll realise
You'll realise
The time has come
For everyone
To come and go
They've closed the show
They've closed the show
Every time the sun falls down
I wonder where I'll be
Walking through a field at night
Or staring out to sea
But cocktails never fail to shine
Where people welcome me
I just need a helping hand
When I can't find my key
The time has come
For everyone
To come and go
They've closed the show
They've closed the show
They've closed the show
They've closed the show

Why Do Doughnuts Look So Round?
There was a fat boy who just stayed at home
People who knew him left him well alone
They tried to ring him but he ate his phone
Now when he eats he has to wait for the tone
Running wild in the town
Knocking total strangers down
Late at night there is no sound
Why do doughnuts look so round?
Too many doughnuts just isn't good
He ate far more than he knew he should
He took a trip to the local fair
and ended up with candy floss in his hair
Running wild in the town
Knocking total strangers down
Late at night there is no sound
Why do doughnuts look so round?
Scaring children like a clown
When our army has unwound
Wake up next to something brown
Why do doughnuts look so round?

Threadbear
Show me my heart
if it's still there
I'm worn away like a threadbear
Uncommonly sad
and falling apart
wondering if anyone cares
It's a feeling that you get from nothing
From doing nothing all day
It's a feeling that you get from nothing
Sometimes I cry
From my button eye
'Cos I've found out life isn't fair
Now I lay dead
There's no need to stare
I'm worn away
Like a threadbear
It's a feeling that you get from nothing
From doing nothing all day
It's a feeling that you get from nothing
A feeling that throws you away
It's a feeling that you get from nothing
From doing nothing all day
It's a feeling that you get from nothing |
