1. Black
Black is a cast,
And two is a crowd,
And gold rim is an answer.
Black is a crowd.
I am just for you,
As you are not for me
So even if you stop,
You’re sitting here by yourself,
You can never try to answer anymore,
You can never start and see
What you’re doing to me.
Kiss, they were ones,
They dressed like something so special,
And death is to begin,
Caress, I think it’s a sin
I was alone,
Only ‘til you took me away,
You can never stop,
You’re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to argue anyone,
You will never stop and see,
What you’re doing to me.
I’m alone,
While he was standing next to you,
And days prolong,
Yeah there was time,
Just you wait and see,
Waiting for a bottle of truth,
I’m just a lonely guy in my youth,
Waiting for you
Is all I wanna do
So if you couldn’t stop,
You’re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to argue anyone,
You will never stop and see
What you’re doing to me,
You can never stop,
You’re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to answer anything,
You will never stop and see,
What you’re doing to me,
What you’re doing to me,
What you’re doing to me,
What are you doing with me?

2. Strange Condition
Read me the letter, baby
Do no leave out the words
Stories and cigarettes
Ruined lives of lesser girls
And I wanna know
‘Cos I want you to know
And it's a strange condition
A day in prison
It's got me out of my head
And I don't know what I came for
Send me the money, baby
Do not leave out the wage
You know you're the best thing ever
To come out of this place
Hey I want you to know
‘Cos I wanna know
And it’s a strange condition
A day in prison
It's got me out of my head
And I don't know what I came for
I want you to know
It’s a strange condition
A day in prison
It's got me out of my head
And I don't know what I came for
I want you to know
I want you to know
So leave out the others, baby
Say I'm the only one
Cut out the uniforms
And settle with the sun
Hey, I want you to know
‘Cos I wanna know
And it’s a strange condition
And a life in prison
It's got me outta my head
And I don't know what I came for
I want you to know
‘Cos I wanna know
Yeah I gotta know

Oh Billie I want you so
I'm trying to meet you
Too many things they don't know
Too many repeatings
Of beatings
And I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again.

I'm trying to meet you
Too many things they don't know

Just Another
You and I, we’re two of a kind,
I hate to say it but you’ll never relate,
What makes you tick
It makes me smile.
You said that I should get away from it all,
And bury my head in the sand if I want to,
I think you
Should thank me now.
You were lying wide awake in the garden
Trying to get over your stardom
And I could never see you depart us
And you’re my baby,
You’re just another girl.
I never mind the way I had to see ya
My working on a day show never explains
Why I see you
And I feel your pain.
I love to wear my work inside of my head,
I can’t complain but you should never react
The way you did,
I feel your time.
You were lying wide awake in the garden
Trying to get over your stardom
And I could never see you depart us
And you’re my baby
And you were lying wide awake in the garden
Trying to get over your stardom
And I could never see you depart us
And you’re my baby,
You’re just another girl
Just another girl.

Murray
I know a man
Who lives under his covers,
Uh uh uh uh uh uh,
Lost his mind from the TV,
Now he’s playing G-d,
And somebody told him
That he was no good at,
Uh uh uh uh uh uh,
He’s talking out of the left side
Of his mouth,
And he won’t follow
These lines he’s drawn for him,
And he don’t want to try,
Seeing is believing,
Lord knows what he sees here every night.
Three little boys
Dress up in the morning,
Uh uh uh uh uh uh,
Come back home from the school yard
Talkin’ bout Love,
But on this occasion
The boys feel the same,
Something’s holding them back there,
I bet it was their mom,
And they won’t follow
These lines he’s drawn for them
‘Cos they don’t want to try,
Seeing is believing
Lord knows what they see here every night.
And we both know,
That people change
When truth’s not part of their lives,
I’ve seen the love in their eyes,
Don’t say goodbye
Goodbye.
I know a man who wakes up
In the evening,
Uh uh uh uh uh uh,
Lost his mind from the TV
Now he’s blaming G-d,
And somebody told him that
He’s good for nothing,
Uh uh uh uh uh uh,
Now he screen prints American T-shirts
Through the night.
And he won’t follow,
These lines they’ve drawn for him
And he don’t want to try,
Seeing is believing
Lord knows what he sees here every night.

Turn Of The Century
Saw my reflection, covered in glass
How it reminds me of you
Broken like a vision, an unfinished season
Terror had struck me, but all I could see is your soft skin
And I wondered
Inside the workhouse, you mind your own business
And I had the courage of two
And as I requested a lapse in your presence
I couldn't think of anything important to say
So I wondered
When this day will end
Yeah, I wondered if we'd speak again
Yeah, I wonder

Country
Baby I don't know
What I think of us
Won't be here tomorrow
I get so mixed up
It's a shame that we're not living in the country
A place that I once seen before
In a book you've always loved but never showed me
You know I never lost before
Baby I don't mind
Where I'm going to
Love that asks for nothing
Love that we never knew
In the days when we were living in the city
It seemed that we were talking more
I can never love you like the way you love me
And these are things i can't ignore
You know I never lost before
We give it up to a world that was never true
It was always me and you
Baby I can tell
It's not coming back
Won't be here tomorrow
I know we'll be fine with that
In the days when we were living we were happy
The thing that we were waiting for
From a book you've always loved but never showed me
These are things I can't ignore
You know I never lost before
You know I never lost before
You know I never wanted it more
You and I were 2 of a kind, i hate to say it but we'll never relate
You and I were 2 of a kind, you made me smile.

On Your Side
I’m outside your house,
2 am it’s dark,
So many mistakes,
Come back home from bars,
I am on your side,
I just want to tell you off.
So many lies
Are taking hold,
It’s not your fault,
There’s many scars
I am on your side,
It’s taken me a long time,
I am on your side,
I’m on your side
And I listen,
Yeah, I listen.
Can you listen?
Now I’m listening.
I am on your side,
it’s taken me a long time,
I am on your side,
I’m on your side.
And I listen,
Yeah I listen,
Can you listen?
Now I’m listening.
I’m heading out tonight
And I listen.

Paradise Cove
Play me a song
Sing your heart out
Expecting the sun
I got what I wanted and it wasn't enough
I got what I wanted when you showed up
I got what I wanted and it's never enough
I drove out to the white trash beach on a brief vacation
I felt freer than I had in a long time
I wondered if it was cos you were gone
you were gone
I got what I wanted and it wasn't enough
I got what I wanted when you showed up
I got what I wanted and it wasn't enough
I got what I wanted, it's never enough
Surfers protect the actors from flashers
Fathers and sons talk it out like brothers
The water doesn't sting as much in the summer
The waves can carry you home
To the girl with the shapes and another life
A freckled complexion and squinting eyes
You want so much to tell her, but it feels like a lie.
Got what I wanted and it wasn't enough
I got what I wanted when you showed up
I got what I wanted and it wasn't enough
I got what I wanted when you showed up
I got what I wanted and it's never enough
Never enough
(play me a song)
When you talk it makes me cringe
You want so bad to have meaning but you're empty and draining
You're so 4th street I cant take it
I know I shouldn't care
But your life's intersecting where mine's disconnecting
Yeah your life's intersecting where mine's disconnecting
Got what I wanted and it wasn't enough
I got what I wanted when you showed up
I got what I wanted and it wasn't enough
I got what I wanted, it's never enough
That could be bad for us both.

For Us
Ask yourself
What do you think about us?
I was in the station
Working on something for us
You say your empty mind
Is easy when it's drugged
I watched you fall out of bed and scrape up your back
Well, maybe
This life is like the drug
This life is like the drug.
Ask yourself
What do they say about us?
I was in the station
Cooking up something for us
You say your empty mind
Is easy when it's drugged
I watched you fall out of bed and scrape up your back
Well, maybe
This life is like your bed
This life is like your bed.
I've seen you fall between
Everywhere we go
They want to love you, baby
More than you know
I've seen the storm inside you
All through the day I know it never leaves you
Not in that way
I've seen your empty mind is easy when it's drugged
I've watched you fall out of bed and then scrape up your back
Well, maybe
This life is like your head
This life is like your head
This life is like your head.
Ask yourself
Ask yourself
Yeah, ask yourself

But I won't run away

All this innocence
That we've come to miss
Will make us stronger
I don't have the time to go back in time
I already lived it
Just stay close
Wait for the sun
Learn to live this life, learn to get along
Just stay close wait for the stars
Until they realign just like the first time
With all we've come to know we work so hard for what?
I don't wanna miss it
Just stay close
Wait for the sun
Learn to live this life
Learn to get along
Just stay close wait for the stars
Until they realign just like the first time

Life On A Chain
I live on a chain and you share the same last name, as a joke, I sent a bottle of whiskey, as you choked, I knew it made you feel dirty, and I was waiting over here for life to begin, I was looking for the new thing, and you were THE sunshine heading my front-line, I was alone, you were just around the corner from me. Time alone is good, I spent my days in the city, dirty neighborhood, you know you’ll never convince me, so I sold the town away, I couldn’t wait to forget you, I was killed in half a day, I hadn’t time to regret you, and I was waiting over here for life to begin, I was looking for the new thing and you were the sunshine heading my front line, I was alone you were just around the corner from me. I, I’m still on the chain, and you, had the same last name, as a joke I sent a bottle of whiskey as you choked you said it made you feel dirty…waiting over here, for life to begin, still looking for the new thing, and you were the sunshine heading my front-line, I was alone, you were just around the corner from me.

Last Summer
We were afraid
We would never meet again
We would never see it thru
Our time was short but not for no one reason
We couldn't stay
We were not each others truth
We were close but very far
I'll never see your face in sunshine again...
We were there last summer
It was fresh as the ocean
We were great last summer
But we cannot go back again
To repeat what we once had
No i can not do it all again
Prolonging pain that we will deal with
eventually
We were there last summer
It was fresh as the ocean
We were great last summer
But we cannot go back again
Oh maybe as time goes by
We will talk about it and laugh
But now it's too close, it's too close
We know what we must do
We were there last summer
It was fresh as the ocean
We were great last summer
But we cannot go back again
We can not go back again
We can not go back again
We can not go back again
We can not go back
(We were great last summer)

Lose You
I'm taking a ride off to one side
It is a personal thing
Where?
When I can't stand
Up in this cage I'm not regretting
I don't need a better thing
I'd settle for less
It's another thing for me
I just have to wander through this world
Alone
Stop before you fall
Into the hole that I have dug here
And rest even as you
Are starting to feel the way I used to
I don't need a better thing
(Just to sound confused)
Don't talk about everyone
I am not amused by you.
I’m gonna lose you,
Yeah I’m gonna lose you
If I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna lose you
Yeah I’m gonna lose you
If I’m gonna lose you
I’ll lose you now for good.

For Nancy
And when you said I could not stay with you,
That’s not the way you would have wanted to be,
Convince yourself that everything is alright,
‘Cos it already is.
Don’t sell your heart and break just anyone,
I want to run with you through moorland fields,
Convince yourself that everything is alright
‘Cos it already is,
So take your lessons hard and stay with him
And when your car crash comes don’t be mislead,
Convince yourself that everything is alright
‘Cos it already is,
Yeah it already is
So take your lessons hard and stay with him
And when your car crash comes don’t be mislead
Convince yourself that everything is alright
‘Cos it already is,
Yeah it already is,
So take him home.
