40 Past Midnight Lyrics

When I'm waiting standing on the corner
And it's coming 40 past the hour
In the midnight lonely freezing hour
With my insides churning in the gutter

And I'm waiting 40 past midnight
Catching rain the soda light
Won't you come & call me to your window
Please don't leave me waiting on the corner

We could have the best time
If you lighten up your life

With my pockets holey in the inside
With my bus ride rolling in the gutter
But if you would only light your lamp light
Then I would be here than any other

Well I'm waiting 40 past midnight
Catching cold in the pouring rain
Won't you come & take me to your door
So I can take myself home again

When I'm waiting standing on the corner
And the soda light begins to flicker
And it's getting 40 past the hour
And I think I won't see what I figure

Well I'm waiting freezing on the inside
Staring up at your window pane
If you won't come see me this evening
I can see myself here again

Alibis Lyrics

You told so many lies
Your tongue is black with fireflies
But you spit them out and pretend you're sneezing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts you'd be ninety years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

Hey, hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would never need it
Hey, hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would ever believe it

It's just a thought and nothing more
That all your thoughts and moves are taught
And memorised each night before your sleeping
And every word is such a joke
Strung from neon masts flying flags you hope
Will win you friends and give your life some meaning

(Repeat chorus)

You told so many lies
Your tongue is stained with alibis
You've been around the world and found it pleasing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

(Repeat chorus)

All Up Lyrics

Spark and Cindy live by their own means
They wouldn't have if I only
know'd where they'd been
And I want to make things a part of my life
And I want to see that
things are going to be right
But if you can't even
stand on your feet
And if you don't own the
air that you breathe
Then it's not for me to say

But I wouldn't live that way
and I wouldn't stand apart
And I wouldn't find the real
and I wouldn't play a part
And I wouldn't find in love
so misguided by some fool
And just what I'm trying t say
makes my head spin round the room

(Repeat from 3rd line onwards)

Another Girl's Name Lyrics

Go take your bags away
Get out of my home
Get out of my life
I don't want you hanging round
And I don't want you to be my wife
When I go to the cafe
I sit in the seat that faces the mirror
I look at my face today
And I look such a wreck today

I knew you well for five minutes and one day
O-oh no way, Jose

I don't ??? ugly views
And I'm not interested in family muse
And ?? is boring and conversation pours
Even when we're in bed
I wanna rearrange your head
Put down the covers
And get you up against the wall
Shoot good babe

Well I knew you well for five minutes and one day
O-oh no way, Jose

You follow where it's going
Can't you see I was breaking
How'd you know the love making wasn't only faking

You get out of my home
And you get out of my life
You didn't hang around much girl
'Cause now you're someone else's wife
I go to the cafe
And I sit in the seat that faces the mirror
Well I look at my face today
And I look so good today

Well I knew you well for five minutes and one day
O-oh no way, oh no way, oh no way, Jose

You're just another girls names
O-oh you're just another girls name (X3)

Beautiful Losers Lyrics

Your dream make up is cracked and wearing thin
your eyes are on your chin
it's getting hard for you
But to make up is only make-believe
and we don't need a scene like this

Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers
Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers

Your eyes closed and dreamed of places
that you and I would go
it's getting hard for me
To love you, like I used to
I don't believe "hello"
Do you?

Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers
Whatever happened to the Beautiful Losers

Besides Yourself Lyrics

Before I let you all go
Before I pull you from this show
Before I wave to you
I'd like to say to you
I wish you never to be alone

Besides yourself what can you say
Millions apart and miles away
Besides yourself what do you need
Some feel no pain while others bleed

So if you're going to save my words
Make sure it's this time you deserve
Before I walk away
I know your every day
Will play before you on it's own

(Repeat Chorus)

And I'm not saying I'm not saying any wrong by you
And I'm not saying I'm not talking my time for you

(Repeat Chorus

Better Day Lyrics

Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow
And laughed with all his friends
At all the little men who borrow tunes
They heard just yesterday

Davey got us down but we got away
And drank to all the days
That we had whiled away
Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase

And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
And up in your room your walls are cold
You find your head is holding out
For the welcome of a better day

And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
And up in your room the walls are getting colder
Like you’re getting on a roller coaster
You can’t find the breaks

Stevie burned the sky when he flew away
And left us things to say
When all the world was falling down
Around our shoulders, cold and grey

Harry carried on in his usual way
And Minnie went inside
He came out once and we both cried
And Minnie blew my head away

And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
And up in your room your walls are cold
You find your head is holding out
For the welcome of a better day

And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
And up in your room the walls are getting colder
Like you’re getting on a roller coaster
You can’t find the breaks

When you’re giving everything away
Everybody lets you pay
You’re saving up for a better day
Seeing things in a better way
You know you’ve got to live
There’s nothing you wont give
To hear the phone and not let it ring
Every Monday morning

Shughie found love and he almost cried
We laughed and wondered why
We loved the sky and found the space
And gazed out over Stevie’s place

And then the nightmares come
When your friend’s go away
And up in your room your walls are cold
You find your head is holding out
For the welcome of a better day

And then the nightmares come
When your friend’s go away
And up in your room the walls are getting colder
Like you’re getting on a roller coaster
You can’t find the breaks

Big Star Lyrics

I don't want to be another big star
Picking at your cars
Stealing at your clothes
Finding out what you don't know
You don't know

I don't want to be your big star
Picking your calls; saying I don't know
I don't want to be your suitor
Lacking at your feet
Trying to love the things you need

Oh you know I've heard this before
And you know I've heard this some more
And please give me the chance
To break down your door
But I sit
Oh Oh
I still sit here

I don't want to be another tailor
Pricking at your thumb
Washing all the tears away
Some words
Oh no I believe they don't feel you
Picking up your dirt
And washing dreams away

Biggest Thing Lyrics

Up through all the streets you go
But little girl don't find her name
And we're all gone down roads to homes
Where everybody finds their game

Just behind the street she goes
Where she'll be found behind her wheel
Cos it's the only place she knows
That makes her know just how she feels

Cos you're the biggest thing
That I see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down, you haunt me
And beg me to believe

All too fast to where she goes
But who'll be first to find her name
And holding on in Hollywood
But holding on don't make the grade

Just about when it's allright
There's you and I : we'll find our way
But it's holidays not Hollywood
And holidays don't suit my game.

Cos you're the biggest thing
That i see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down and haunt me
And beg me to believe

Hollow days and hollow nights
But everyone they find their way
It hightlights you when things ain't right
And makes you want to find your place

Cos you're the biggest thing
That i see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down, you haunt me
And beg me to believe

Cos you're the biggest thing
That i see
You've got me where you want me
You hunt me down,you haunt me
And beg me to believe
