I must have walked past this doorway thirty times Just trying to catch your eye You made it all worthwhile When you returned my smile It all became worthwhile Don't you feel a little cold stood by the door? You know, I'd really like to talk some more Oh, don't be worried about your friend I think she left some time 'round ten What was her name again? You're not like anyone I've ever met You're...
I wonder what our kid has bought her I think I'll try unwrap a corner He didn't spend that much in the end He doesn't think that highly of his friends I've wanted one of those for years That was until I got it here On second thought, I don't think I like it But if it's for sale someone will buy it I can't think just what I wanted it for I've already borrowed too much money I told Michel she th...
When I held back the doors and accidentally my hand touched yours - you smiled But if my voice sounded unsteady it?s because by then I was already beguiled And I knew as the rain beat down outside There was nowhere else to hide You were going to have to speak to me And as we sheltered there together and talked inanely about the weather - I thought How it would be obligatory to ask for your num...
When I set foot on the bus you laughed said: "that's the end for us" Oh could a joke ever go more wrong? if only you'd have come along Oh but you must stop calling Jane, she is completely without blame Do you have to ring her up so soon? that's rubbing salt into these wounds A little bit of what you fancy doesn't do you any good at all Oh I know that now I can't add to what I've said, I just c...
This is all because you didn't like my mum Well I'm afraid I can't get born again Oh it's not just me who's changed And can you tell me what it is you think I said And are you sure that it's not just in your head And when was this anyway? And if we're really really going to be honest We might as well be brief And by the way I got your little Along with some dryness in my throat When I saw that...
I'm just some name in your book That's why you gave up writing weeks ago You won't be getting in touch Oh do you ever? And I meant every word that I said Oh did I try to hard oh, I don't know You made sure it wouldn't happen again Oh you're clever Yes I was that naive Yes I was that naive You've heard this all before You've heard this all before I'm just some name in your book That's why you g...
No, I sent you that letter To ask you if the end was worth the means Was there really no in between? And I still don't feel better I just wondered if it could be like before And I think you just made me sure But then that's typically you And I might have been a bit rude But I wrote it in a bad mood I'm not being funny with you But it's hard to be engaging When the things you love keep changing...
Just before you go today There's something that I've got to say Well you asked me what was wrong And I didn't want to tell you You believed me when I said I tried But oh, Carolyn, I lied And its gone on far too long And I never tried to help you But don't wait up for me Just don't wait up for me It isn't quite the way you think How low do you suppose I'd sink? We can't bear to be apart Oh I'm ...
You've told him lies now for so long Yet still he's ready to forgive He's got you back and that's all he wants A lot more than I'm left with You don't care now that you're gone But do you know how much I miss you? It's not fair after all you've done That I'm so, I still want to kiss you Throwing presents straight away 'Cause you could never take them home Always scared what he might say But al...
He became a man at twenty-three And now he's got to take up all the seat I never knew he was so bold I really think she should be told But that's what best friends are for And does she have a best friend, anymore? At home, she tells him little lies Like she's not in the mood tonight And when they're out with all his friends He just forgets that she's even there He's go this name on people's li...
I never thought I could live here on my own But then I guess everybody'got to live somewhere Four tins of paint made this our home Oh I got less on the walls than I got in my hair When we moved in here the dog was still a pup Oh do you remember the time he chewed those curtains that we found? I laughed the day you put them up The day you left I tore them down Don't laugh, don't even sigh I tou...
Don?t say a word, don?t make this even more absurd Anyway your eyes confirm what I already knew More than all your words could ever do Oh I?ll survive I guess, I?m just feeling powerless Well when the one thing that you most adore is just about to walk out of the door OK you?re sure it?s time to go but I?m begging you not to walk away, Is there really nothing I can say to keep you here Please ...
Oh, why do you catch my eye, then turn away? I thought we said all the things we had to say Shawn said he saw you holding hands with your new friend How does it feel to know you've just won again? Don't give me that Because you were seen Everyone thinks he looks daft But you can have your dream Can I keep that book of yours and maybe this one too? Oh sure, I'll bring them 'round tomorrow, if t...
Hey you don't come near me But how did you find this place? Just brought me misery I don't want to see your face I don't think you hear me How can I make this clear? I just said don't come near me You don't belong down here Something deep down in Fleshworld No I don't want to know No I will not drink your drink Go find some place to hide I don't care what you think You don't set foot inside Se...
Why should I want to know his name? What difference does it make? You know I tried dead hard to keep away I just had to call again Where did you go last night? What's that new place like? Okay, I won't ask anymore questions And then you can't tell me lies Well, they always need good men They're crying out for them It's not the sort of job I'd do myself But then I'm not him Oh, he buys you pret...
Can't you come up with something better than that? Oh I think I'd be more angry If your answers weren't so daft Oh you know I could But do you really think I would? When you go up to Granadaland on Sundays Sally told me that you're practically kissing his feet Oh, but he hasn't got a car And so your list of names brought you to me Anda friend in need Is a pest indeed When she uses everybody in...
I tried to call. You'd just gone out We've got to talk. You going to be about? Oh you don't have to tell me where you've been It's bad enough I know you were with him What made you want to take him there? What made you think I wouldn't care? And did you walk from the town into the heather To where we used to lie down when we were together No, I walked by, I sort of knew I don't know why, maybe...
Missing Lyrics
And then you said "No, I?m not from the south, I am from further north than you" With that you kissed me full on the mouth And that was when I knew you were either drunk or you wanted me And, you know, either way I wasn?t going to disagree But how did one crazy night turn into six weeks How can we be going out if neither of us speaks I think we?re the same in many ways And I admit we had some ...
I should just get out of here and start driving south on Interstate 5 But I need to stay near, in case you suddenly remember that I'm alive But I have this nagging fear that s** was all you needed I've tried to persevere; I guess I've not succeeded And is it s**ist to say that I thought just boys were meant to behave in this way? And though you seemed quite sincere, will you even recognise my ...
No, it?s for you but then you didn?t need me to say that ?Cos you already knew, how many times is it today that He?s had to call? It?s as if you?re still together I don?t care at all, I?m just wondering whether You think you and he will ever run out Of things that you have to talk about You said everything you will ever need so Why can?t you just let him go OK I lied, sometimes it?s like you n...
And this is for you You must know it's for you What else can I think about? I knocked on your door Until my fingers were sore Although I'd guessed you were out And what do I need? Is it hunger or greed That has brought me here? And what will I find? Aren't we two of a kind? Oh I take back everything I didn't mean a thing And when you pull the strings I don't think you feel a thing Don't forget...
Lost your love of life? Too much apple pie Oh have you lost your love of life? Too much apple pie And now Harry's walked away with Johnny's wife You've got to pick some people up You've got to let some people go But if Lee's name does come up Oh well I really want to know Because everybody loves a TV show Lost your love of life? Too much apple pie Oh have you lost your love of life? Too much a...
It was here in this aisle that I first heard her talking And for a second or two I could have sworn it was you Her hair, her smile, the way she was walking Was exactly the same, I nearly called out your name And though I knew it couldn?t have possibly been you Oh I still stared for as long as I dared Now I?m here every day ?cos you look like some housewife If it sounds stupid, yes, I admit I?m...
I know what you're going to say You want to do something scary today Sure I want to have some fun I just don't know about some of the things that you've done But I'm your love slave And you'll get what you crave Oh you've got a crazy thirst And every single kiss is just like the first Oh you have sucked me dry How many more times do you want me to try? Because I'm your love slave And you'll ge...
I heard another voice this morning on the 'phone But just the other day I thought you said you slept alone And yes I knew that laughter, okay, now i see You wouldn't even know him if it hadn't been for me Sometimes in the fading light I can't help thinking back to, well, the way we were Then I start feeling guilty lying next to her I know, and it can't be right Pretending that it's you. You st...

Your lies, your lies How can you tell so many lies Come up and see me, make me smile I'll do what you want for a while There's nothing left, oh ... and run away Oh maybe you'll tarry for a while It's just a test, a game for us to play Win or lose, it's hard to...
So yeah I've got my brand new girlfriend, And she's great in every way And you've got your new lover there so I guess we're both ok And I know that we've been through this And we have to be apart But the thought of him lying in our bed with you, well it still just breaks my heart Mars sparkles down on me He says he wants to meet me oh I'm sure he's genuine but how can i just shake his hand whe...

Sometimes these words just don't have to be said I know how you both feel the heart can rule the head Jealousy is an essential part of love The hurting here below and the emptiness above, oh There's always something left behind There's always something left behind Never mind oh never mind The tender caresses that bring out the man I can't still be drunk at five, oh I guess I surely can Slowly ...
Oh no my life had not begun Until your call, was it only yesterday? I can't believe the things we've done Since then, and God, I love the way you taste But does it have to end right now? Well can't you stay for another day? Just say you're ill and come back out I'll meet you here, then we'll disappear I've got this feeling, oh it's like nothing I know You've sent me reeling, and I don't want y...
Oh well of course I shouldn't be here watching people row But it's just so scary knowing each word before it comes out of her mouth And now that the moment's here, when she tells him to go And I pulled that very same face just seven days ago And if I could live one day again That day would be the one And when he tells her it's all lies, she's making patterns with her spoon And when he looks in...
Some bits of snow still hanging in the air, but that's outside Take off your clothes and lie down over there, oh that's just right I sat by this window and just watched for you. No you weren't late There was a thousand things I had to do, they can all wait You don't take away my hand, like you ought to You've become my family I don't want to understand why I need you You've just become my fami...
And they were left all alone On that fateful day the budgie had a stroke 1940's bliss...how could it come to this? Forgotten things they once knew And now there's really only one thing left to do But I think that I'm more scared Because this country doesn't care And one day this will all be yours And one day this will all be yours And one day this will all be yours And one day this will all be...
And when I turn round to glance at you, you're staring Your eyes are such a perfect blue that I can't look away Did I get shy, maybe I didn't make it clear Darling I think I'll always want you near 'Cause when I'm away from you, it's like somethings missing That sounds drippy but I swear it's true, it just appeared and no It wasn't rehearsed, there really was no warning Well you're the first t...
When you push your hair away and stare at me with sleepy eyes I get a feeling here, a feeling I don?t recognize I wanna give you everything I?ve been in love but this is worse I just want to cling to you and save you from the universe ?Cos I have fallen in a way I?ve never done before You?re all I need today I don?t want anything more As unlikely as it seems, it?s as if you?ve just appeared Ou...
You ask me how I feel, well suddenly this is all for real It hasn?t seemed like that till now I it?s as if you almost were still mine somehow I hope you?ve realised just how I?m being so civilised But it?s nearly time I went We?ve got one last chance to have an argument And watching you walk back to your car Was the lowest point of my life so far Don?t stare into my eyes, I couldn?t bear for y...
I thought you'd come round And I know how this will sound I said so much yesterday that I shouldn't have So what did I do After I talked to you? I should've gone home straightaway but I couldn't have Oh I stayed with you and my heart began to sink I wanted you but not the way you think So what did I say Didn't mean it anyway And I don't want anything that I should do I know you're sad Believe ...
Wear something bright and turn away Imagine girls behaving in that way Why don't you pack your bags and leave? Look here's another bruise I didn't see You can't say, it doesn't really matter This isn't T.V., he isn't William Shatner Oh, I've told you before These days, you look so pale and thin Wave down the bus and let's be rid of him You've spent this night beside your T.V. set Remember when...
She's my best friend Simply not the average girl She's my best friend Understands me when I'm falling down down down Oh it hurts to be that way Oh it hurts to know I'm that kind of fellow .... .... Caught his hand in the door Guess that's where ... If you want to see me I'm sorry but I'm not around If you .. Turn around by the window where the light is She's my best friend Better than a dog or...
You're not such a nice girl after all It's as much as you can do just to say hello Have you got to stick your head inside that book? Oh, you've noticed that I'm here, now please spare the dirty look It's such a beautiful evening, oh would you like to go out? Oh, pardon me for breathing I know you walk a different way each night To avoid the men on the building site But I waited half an hour fo...
I've spent all day trying to decide About the things you said last night Did they mean nothing Or were they filled with hidden clues? And can you really have stayed till three Orange slices and that Fall LP I feel so lonely when I get back from seeing you And when someone brings up your name I can feel myself begin to change It's like a panic And a rushing sound in my head A huge weight pressi...
I bumped into Joe on Victoria Road And he told me something About last weekend, he knows your new He said he saw it coming And those letters I wrote, so now I know What you do with them Well of course he looked, you sliced me up And then showed it to him He's changed around the posters on your wall And finished all but one glass of your wine His head's been on the pillows that I bought And now...
She's a mixed up girl from a very different world She's come, come, come, come, to a yellow sun Whe she began she was a man Go, go, go, go like a dynamo She's my colonel spider You know she's a deep space rider I feel beautiful beside her She doesn't need air; she can breathe anywhere Come, come, come, come, and you can have some We like to chase through outer space Go, go, go, go, you know Sh...
Is that a letter you're hiding from me? Well I think I'm being used again, let me open it see That's not what I wanted to hear There's a time and place for everything that time is coming near Do you have to spend so much time on your hair? Well couldn't you started earlier? Of course you've got things to wear No, I didn't pick up your coat on the way Some of us have to work you know, have you ...
About what I said just before You know, your clothes on the floor I never meant to hurt you I got carried away I guess I've had a long day Look, I'd sooner die than lose you Over something like that Oh, please, next time just shout back And I didn't say that I hate you I think sometimes you forget And now look how we're up Let's talk about it later Why can't I ever say what I mean? Why can't I...
You've never mentioned this before Ohh It seems I'm always last to know And do I have to guess how you're going to feel each day? You never have a word to say, you should have told me I don't understand why you didn't tell me Surely, you must know I hate what I'm doing I don't want to upset you but it's yourself you're fooling The last thing I need is part twelve of the row But just why are yo...
I was just trying to hide a yawn I think I've noticed that it?s dawn But I'll stay longer if you want She just caught you off your guard And I know it can be hard But that's really not the point Well, just try to get away Go and see your parents for a day That's what I'd do myself She is not the only one And it?s easier said than done But try and think of something else You have got everything...
