A Friend of Ours
03:48
|

End the pain, don't explain, open the vein and let the blood flow
A doll for show, don't you know, let it go and let the blood flow
In the summer, a five year drought
Me and Jackie, hanging out
A solid girl without a doubt
she was my friend throughout
Such a shame, a kind of fame, what was his name? Yeah I remember
the empty room, gone too soon, the camera zooms, a glowing ember
He talked for hours and hours, he had special powers, he talked to the flowers
He was a friend of ours

Sick Little Cat
03:11

That little girl in the corner likes you
If only you could tell
That little girl in the corner reminds you
But what you got to sell?
Maybe she's heaven sent
Maybe she will consent to love a sick little cat like you
So make your move
Maybe once in a lifetime, you get to see it like it is
When someone hands you a lifeline, makes you wanna rise
Maybe she's heaven sent
Did she catch your scent
This happens once in a lifetime
Make your move
Feel the groove
Make your move

My Friend
02:02
|
|||
My friend knows the score, my friend she's hardcore
and she knows much more, she's my friend
She don't try to change me
She dont want to derange me
And she loves the strange me
she's my friend.
I look into her eyes sometimes, I'll tell you what I see
I see someone who's always there and always good to me.
I don't want to sing the same old sad old songs
I'm in her heart and that's where I belong
1st verse repeat

Let it be me
04:04
|
|||
I talked with your friends about you and me
Just where you stand, they said you were free
I don't care who you see, just let it be me
We can go to the city, walk in the park
out to the jetty, swim in the dark
I don't care who you see, just let it be me
I'll let you be silent, if you let me be strange
I can be patient, I won't ask you to change
I'll do it for free, if you let it be me
We're strange little people, I think you'd agree
It's not illegal, to have to be free
I don't care what you see, just let it be me

Waitin'
02:14
|

I waited for you at the evening tide, waited for you as you sat and sighed.
Waiting for you
I waited for you at the harbour side, waited for you as you sat and cried
waiting for you
Now that you've gone into the great unknown
Anything's better than being alone
Why don't you answer when I call your phone?
Anything's better than being alone
Darling come to my home, make sure you come alone
Don't you know we're just children baby, overgrown
I waited for you in the pouring rain, waited for you as you went insane
waiting for you
Waited for you so I could try to explain
waited for you with nothing to gain
still waiting for you like there's no tomorrow, waiting for you in pain and sorrow, waiting for you
waiting for you, this is your domain, waiting for you so don't complain
waiting for you.

Yer Sister
05:47
|
|||
I want to make love in the afternoon with her, but she says "not here"
Because I live here with my sister
so I say well never mind my love, cos it's all the same
how do I tell her that I missed her
CH: Everything's changed, nothing's the same
how I wish I could be there with her
When the morning comes around
Won't you please turn on the light for a while cos I need to see
what you're doing with my sister
what's a holiday without a joint and a case of beer
How do I tell you that I missed her
Do you still know I'm in love with you, or do you think
I'm falling in love with your sister?
Chourus
Want to make love in the afternoon with her
but she says not here
what the fuck you doing with my sister
so I say well never mind my dear cos I'd kill for a beer
How do I tell you that I love her
Chorus

The Sea Sometimes
04:12
|
|||
4 o'clock it the morning, time to open our eyes
It's not emotion or passion, not even our minds
Follow the trail to the ocean, walk the beach up the line
See emotion and passion, see through time
Got the strangest of feelings, you've got that look in your eyes
Something wild that reminds me
Of the sea sometimes.

You plucked him from the garbage, put him in a sling
Made him a bed of blankets, pillows straw and string
Took him to your deepest heart, asked him where it stings
Did your best to give some rest to the bird with the broken wing.
Pretty soon it seemed as though the bird was on the mend
it cost much more than you had thought, you had to spend and spendYou began to hope that he would fly and become a friend
it ended up taking so much more than you could afford to spend.
Sorry, but birds with broken wings find it fly
Can you afford to break your heart as you watch them die?
Little birds with broken wings clutch at you and cling
As you try your best to give some rest to the bird with the broken wing
Sorry, it's not a very happy song.

The Girl's Best Friend
04:34
|
|||
It's the first time I've had love inside of me
It's the first time I've been free
The way she moves the way she moves the way she walks
I'm in love
I can't back out there's no beginning and no end
I'm the girl's best friend

Helen of Troy
04:13
|
|||
"Was this the face that launched a thousand ships?"
Half asleep in the classroom, these words caught my eye
Sweet music to a boy, Helen of Troy
Born to king Zeus, the Godhead cowboy
Trained with the Spartans, fought like a boy
The most beautiful woman, Helen of Troy
Beautiful Helen, so young and so raw
Abducted by Paris, Crown Prince of Troy
The loneliest woman, the Trojan War
Helen of Troy

Stop Being Nice
04:34
|
|||
Maybe you think that I'm in love with you
Because I spend so much time with you
Maybe you'd realsise it wasn't true
if I stopped being nice
Maybe you're thinking I will always be true
I don't want that kind of thing with you
Maybe you'd finally realise it's true
If I stopped being nice
CH: If I stopped being nice maybe you'd leave me alone
If I stopped being nice maybe you'd realise you're on your own
Your daddy's gone, you're out of home
You're 35 and fully grown
Everybody's alone
Maybe you think that if uoi did your best
I'd come along and sort your horrible mess
Maybe you'd realise you failed the test
If I stopped being nice
There's no point me telling you you're the one
I'm just out to get my bit of fun
Only out to get my place in the sun
So I'll stop being nice
CH

Your'e not Listening
03:06
|
|||
you're telling stories about what you've achieved
Telling stories bout what you did overseas
Telling stories that no one believes
They're only stories as far as I can see
They're only stories that's what I perceive
If you'd be quiet it would be a relief
But you're not listening
you want everybody to think you're the won
To stand in awe of what you have done
The races you ran and the glory you one
But there's another story underneath I know
The little girl who died a long time ago
The little seed that never got to sow anything
You think you know something no body else knows
you think we all came down in the last snow
you don't seem to care about what we undergo
You don't listen when we try to explain
you're not the onl;y one who feels any pain
Maybe you'd find you had someting to gain
If you'd start listening
You keep on talking I can't say anything
I'm not your follower and I'm not following
Is it true that you know everything?
It's getting later and the pain is increasing
Your wisdom and knowledge are just unceasing
You don't know what I'm offering
Cos you're not listening

Angelica
05:11
|

Angelica, when we're driving in your car and the lights turn to blue
I only think of you
Angelica, there's a demon in my heart, who frowns when I would smile
so stay with me a while
When the soldiers go off to fight, when orange turns to blue
Angelica, you're the thorn inside my mind when tears get in the way
of loving where we lay
Angelica, someone's always watching me, watching for a sign
or a point of view
so put your hands in mine
walk across the line
Make love to me

Butterflies
04:36
|
|||
Every time I look into your eyes it's like a hundred hours pass by my window
I can't believe it's true, what am I supposed to do?
If I had my choice again, I'd probably turn my back on you
But since we're in this situation now
What are we supposed to do?
I get butterflies, I shake and I sigh
I get butterflies, between my fears and your desires
I get butterflies
This animal's git a mind of it's own
It pounced like a beast from the jungle
I can't believe it's true
what am I supposed to do?
You never see it till it's much too late
You catch something that you didn't pursue
Now I'm lying in the bed with you
There's only one thing left to do
Chorus

Peter
02:15
|

The day is trembling with feeling, painful memory,
I remember you quite well I guess you don't know me.
A gun ship in the bay, a seagull on it's way in
Measure out a thimbleful of love for me.
Wanna get inside your mind,
Into the endless blue wine.
Wanna get inside your mind
Hey hey.
Another quiet winter's day, I beg you not to go away,
There's moisture on your lips, and the wine was ok.
But the vision of your roman eyes
and the painful love that I disguise
Gather up inside inside my mind, a love tide
Wanna get inside your mind
Into the endless blue wine.
Wanna get inside your mind
Hey hey
