HEADLOCK:
Distant flickering, its greener scenery,
This weathers bringing it all back again.
Great adventures, faces and condensation,
I'm going outside and take it all in.
You say too late to start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don't believe any of it.
You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,
You know your better than this.
We're a different pair, just something out of step,
Throw a stranger an unexpected smile.
With big intention, still posted at your station
Always on about the day it should have flown.
You say too late to start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don't believe any of it.
You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,
You know your better than this.
Afraid to start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don't believe any of it.
You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,
You know your better than this.
I'm walking, you've been hidding,
And you look half dead half the time.
Monitoring you, like machines do,
You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye
I've been walking, you've been hidding,
And you look half dead half the time.
Monitoring you, like machines do,
You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye
You know you're better than this
Come make a start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don't believe any of it.
You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,
You know your better than this.
Afraid to start, got your heart in a headlock,
I don't believe any of it.
You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,
You know your better than this.
GOOD NIGHT AND GO:
Say goodnight and go
Skipping beats
Blushing cheeks
I am struggling
Daydreaming
Bed scenes in
The corner cafe
And then i'm left in bits
Recovering tectonic
Tremblings
You get me every time
Why do you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
Follow you home
You've got your headphones on
And you're dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot
Your taking everything off
Watch the curtains wide open
Then you fall in the same routine
Flicking through the TV
Relaxed and reclining
And you think your alone
Oh why do you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
One of these days
You'll miss your train
And come stay with me
Say goodnight and go
We'll have drinks
And talk about things
Any excuse to stay awake with you
You'll sleep here
I'll sleep there
But then the heating may be down again
At my convenience
We'd be good
We'd be great together
Why do you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
Why's it always always
Goodnight and go
Oh darling not again
Goodnight and go.
HIDE AND SEEK:
Where are we
What the hell is going on
The dust has only just began to fall
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling
Spin me around again and rub my eyes
This can't be happening
When busy streets a mess with people would stop to hold their heads heavy
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines?
All those years they were here first
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasue moments hung before
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
Still life
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
Oh, you won't catch me around here
Blood and tears they were here first
Hmm what you say
Oh that you only meant well, well of course you did
Hmm what you say
Hmm that it's all for the best, of course it is
Hmm what you say
That it's just what we need, you decided this
Hmm what you say
What did she say
Ransom notes keep falling at your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
Speak no feeling no i don't believe you
You don't care a bit you don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
SPEEDING CARS:
Here’s the day you hoped would never come
Don’t feed me violins
Just run with me through rows of speeding cars
The paper cuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee’s never strong enough
I know you think it's more than just bad luck
There, there, baby
It's just textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
Sleeping pills, no sleeping dogs lie
Never far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I've watched you slowly winding down for years
You can't keep on like this
Now's a bad a time as any
There, there, baby
It's just textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
Yeah, yeah, wow
It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It was a long time ago
It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It was a long time ago
There, there, baby
It's just textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
There, there, baby
It's just textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
