Today.
04:51

I judge myself on what I think
Not so much on what I feel
I could try a taste of it
The fruit's not hard to find
Today, today, it should be better than today
Today, today, should be better than today.
In other times than these
Things felt much better then
Nothing sounded as 'Bad'
As people on their knees.
Today, today, was better than today
Today, today, it was better than today.
I see a lonely past
enslaved by little things
Ensnared by little fears
I just don't give a shit
Today
You only shined so bright, today
As other little stars, today
Catched them and hold them tight, today
They'll never shine so bright, today
Today, the show's better than today
Today, today, It should be better than today.

Jack of Spades
03:41

Did you see the
Awful smile that passes through you?
Did you see that today?
Putting shoes on,
blankets on and join the race.
Try to be there today.
Gotta come back tomorrow,
join the human race.
Make it up the stairs tomorrow,
Wear a human face.
Did you see that?
Cutting eyes that look down on you.
Must you see them today?
now you know every
Thing there is to know about me,
I suppose i can't complain.
Putting two and two together,
Draw thee Jack of Spades.
Putting you together with those who are like you.
Bear a human face.

Genetics
03:10
|
|||
|
Have to scream and shout, try to work it out
I have to prove myself holier than thou
I open my mouth, watch it all go south
All the children now, better than yesterday
screamim' my truth, holier forsooth!
Fucking in a pool, genetically you're superior.
Genetically better than today.
Wanna twist and shout, let it all hang out
Look in the looking glass, pout like a star
Twinkle twinkle and like a nose you ran,
second out of ten, better than yesterday
third or fourth you ran in a field of ten
Always thought you were genetically superior
genetically better than today

School's Out.
02:52
|

|
Come on school's out, can't we just play?
Play amongst ourselves now school's out
Such a pretty face
come on fools get out, leave me to my recreation
Tired of the race.
Come on cool girl, let's just drive away.
Come on school's out, doesn't matter what they say,
Throw out all the tools now schools out
Such a fucken waste.
Let's just cool out, leave me to my destination
Such a lovely face.
Come on cool girl, let's just drive away.

Hands Full.
04:11
|
|||
|
Must be hard work being you, must be full time
hands that scrape the clouds away
Not many hands are made this way
Even when those hands are full, but it doesn't just happen.
through the years you made your way
Before I tingled.
No one could touch me
Yeah it didn't just happen
Hands that push the pain away
Hands that can still touch me when I'm ill at ease.
And it's all to the good, you kept your promises.
You kept them everyday
They weren't just spoken
They weren't just things to say
so it didn't just happen
Through the years you made your way
Before I tingled
No one could touch me
Yeah it didn't just happen
Hands that push the pain away
Hands that can still touch me when I'm ill at ease.

Actor (Hole in the Wall)
03:29
|

|
Wise man knows everything and. nothing.
Stagehand, lend a hand to the show.
Actor, writer of rhyming verse and song
young man, actor, come along.
Don't stand so close in the window.
Don't stand so close to the door,
Don't look so hard at the keyhole
Don't stand there, someone might mistake you for a hole in the wall.
All an actor ever does is portray himself,
All an actor ever does is portray,
The murder scene is real enough
The gun looks real.
But he can't survive outside the painted mask.
Is that you with my girl at the window?
I'll meet you outside the door.
Don't look so hard at the keyhole
Don't wait there, someone might mistake you for a hole in the wall.
Is that you with my girl at the window?
I'll meet you outside the door.
Don't look so hard at the keyhole
Don't wait there, someone might mistake you for a hole in the wall.
Is that you with my girl in the love scene?
Is that you I've seen outside my door?
Don't look too hard in the keyhole,
Don't wait there,
someone might mistake you for a hole in the wall

Your words are just another way of saying nothing.
What upstage you turned out to be.
Instead of love you offer the girl violence,
And now we have to deal with me.
Deal with me
Yeah, deal with me
With me.
I wouldn't piss on you
and you were on fire
I wanna give you the. third degree
But what you inspire in me is nothing but silence
I look for words, you dealing with me.
Deal with me
Yeah, deal with me
And now we have to deal with me.
Deal with me, yeah deal with me,
With me

Where She Lives
04:24

I can't wait another year to hold you, yeah I wanna see.
I can't wait another year.
i can't wait another day to hold you, to feel this way
No more shadows, waste and fear.
"No more shadows, waste and fear
But I hold you, I hold you dear
No more choices based in fear
But I hold you, I hold you near,
No more bitterness and tears,
I hold you, I hold you dear"
This is where she lives
In the centre, in the heart is where i come apart
In the body and the mind.
i can't waste another tear to hold you, yeah i hold you dear
No more shadows.waste and fear
"No more shadows, waste and fear
But I hold you, I hold you dear
No more choices based in fear
But I hold you, I hold you near,
No more bitterness and tears,
I hold you, I hold you dear".
This is where she lives.

Face Plant
03:07
|
|||
|
Tired of creating rivers inside my eyes
is this the best that I can do.
A lifetime on it's side.
finding laughter hiding in the wings
For a new plan, but it's a Saturday night and i feel blue
I won't face plant, anymore
Something that I shouldn't do
there's nothing in it for me is there something there for you?
i won't face plant, at the door, in the house we both adore
i won't face plant, not anymore.
I'm tired of making planets of my eyes,
Where are the photographs where I'm smiling?
little demons visit for a while,
Don't close your eyes they wait patiently
But I won't face plant, anymore
what am i supposed to do?
there's nothing in it for me is there something in it for you?
i won't face plant, at the door, in the house we both adore
i won't face plant, not anymore.

Locket
02:34

|
If you want to get into my pocket
Cut your hair, just leave me a locket,
once more, every day,
way more every day,
Starting fresh every day, every day
Sighing, throwing away, throwing away
Everyday, every day
If you can't do what I request you
Perhaps it's time that I tried to test you
But love, it's not a game
And love is more than just a name.
starting fresh every day, every day
starting, throwing away, throwing away
Every day, every day
Smiling, fresh every day
Starting, throwing away

Just Like Dorian Grey
04:09
|
|||
|
Ugliness is obvious when you've got an ugly heart
Ugliness is apparent through the aperture
Take a look in the mirror, I used to be so beautiful,
now the mirror shows me everything
When I look in the mirror, doesn't show the man I seek
Know why I feel this way?
Take a photograph, a camera
Turn this way and that way
Just like Dorian Grey
Put it on the wall for yesterday.
Those are truly beautiful who stay in their own heart
Keeping promises today that they keep tomorrow
I could have stayed with you too, I could have stared at you,
Looking just as good a yesterday.
When I look in the mirror, doesn't show the man I see
Know why I feel this way?
Take a photograph, a camera
Turn this way and that way
Just like Dorian Grey
Put it on the wall for yesterday
When I look in the mirror, doesn't show the man I see
Know why I feel this way?
Take a photograph, a camera
Turn this way and that way
Just like Dorian Grey
Put it on the wall for yesterday
Photograph, camere
when I look in the mirror
you have a beauty face
take a photograph, a camera

Fall to the Sea
03:32

Forgot to button my shirt, forgot to clean my shoes
Forgot to tie my laces, this is the schoolboy blues
In a sea of faces I'm the one without no clue and
A hundred ways of avoiding discipline,
Let's see what you can do.
Wanna ride on a motorbike down to the sea
Wanna let my hair grow long, just see what I can be.
Wanna fly on an aeroplane, over the sea
Fall to the sea.
Forgot to tie my shoes, forgot to clean my face
This is the schoolboy blues, this is my one disgrace.
Counting odd faces, I'm that's got no place yeah
A hundred ways of avoiding discipline,
Let's see what you can do.
Wanna ride on a motorbike down to the sea
Wanna let my hair grow long, just see what I can be.
Wanna fly on an aeroplane, over the sea
Fall to the sea.

Eyes Adore You.
06:20
|

|
People come and people go
on their way, only god knows where.
I'm a stranger here knocking at the door,
will you stand by me till we both know more?
Stand by me until we're sure,
stand by me until we both know more,
Take me down to the shore, to the sea where we'll both know more.
I heard a voice singing in my ear, drawing close
sweet and clear
I confessed to my fear, yeah i said it all,
No time for tears or anything at all,
Stand by me until we're sure,
stand by me until we both know more,
Take me down to the shore, to the sea where we'll both know more.
My eyes adore you
My eyes adore you
My eyes adore you
My eyes adore you

Oceans Deep
04:32
|

|
Watching the grey clouds,
Shadows on the bay,
Don't know what will come
come what will, what may.
And later in the evening
Drinking wine as the day comes down,
Thinking about Mazzy Star
and this awful down:
Oceans deep
Oceans deep
Count every morning given to you as blessed
Count on your battle scars, disregard the rest
Drinking wine and listening to the best
I for one have always been impressed:
Oceans deep
Oceans deep

Know who you are exactly at all times.
Don't let fear get in your way.
Treat yourself softly at all times
Don't freak, tell me what's on your own mind
Those who spread the word they've heard,
They remember every word, they remember what's worse.
Worse
Say what you see and tell it in real time.
Don't let words get in the way.
Speak for yourself and no one else.
Don't freak, tell me what's on your mind.
Those who spread the word they've heard,
They remember every word, they remember what's worse.
Worse.
