"Words of Wisdom"
 
You've simmered your thoughts
Your mind is set
Now you can only stare through eyes that hate
The glass is broken
The scent is loose
You're pushing stale air into my lungs because...

Your invitation got lost in the post
But that was no mistake
You'll have to party alone this time

Paranoid in vain
You still watch your toes
You talk about pride
Well who trod on yours?
You recognise the song
But don't know the tune
We all make mistakes
Just add another one on...

If you insist on pushing
Tunnel vision advice
I'll flip the joke on it's back
And laugh in your face this time

Your words of wisdom...

You keep on pushing
You go too far
You push, cling and bite
You can already taste those lies
You recognise the song
But the words are wrong
We all make mistakes
Just add another one on...

Your words of wisdom impress me none

"Somehow"
 
Over the top of a lager in wineless wine bar
I can see the sunset over Blackbird hill
It's only the cocaine comaradarie
Keeping the thugs from moving in for the kill
Friends desert me through choice and pressure
I know the faces but I'm not safe
A kiss torn curl blows through your hair
Words glow and fade as the meanings change

But somehow - it don't bother me
somehow - it don't bother me

There's a choice to make but I'll make it later
Decisions just float on by
Oblivious to the sounds around me
I'm home but I don't know why
The last of the sunset bounces of the back wall
And reflects back off to the stars
A final witness to a dying sunset
And an abandoned lager in wineless wine bar...

"Now You Don't Remember"
 
Try to free myself from your grasp
But keep on making the same mistakes
You told me once that nothing lasts
Now you don't remember...

You drained me of all honesty
How much more of this can take
Now I crave my sanity
Now you don't remember

Now I realise those things you said
Look into my eyes
I'll try to forget
Now I realise those things you said...

You betrayed my trust
I tried too hard for the both of us
Now I crave my sanity
Now you don't remember

You drained me of all honesty
How much more of this can take
I'm locked up in a cage
Now you don't remember

"Not Listening"
 
You can say whatever you like I'm not listening anymore
It makes no odds whatever you say I'm not listening anyway
You can scream until you are blue in the face
I'm not listening anymore
So don't bother - save your breath - I'm not listening anymore

JUST SHUT UP!

Stamp your feet, cry like a child I'm not listening anymore
Scream the whole house down I'm not listening anyway
I've had enough - my ears are blocked
Your views are measured in decibels
In one ear - out the other...

WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP!

You can say whatever you like I'm not listening anymore
It makes no odds whatever you say I'm not listening anyway
Stamp your feet, cry like a child I'm not listening anymore
So don't bother - don't waste your breath

I'm not listening... I'm not listening anymore

"I See / H.M. Trout"
 
There's a part of you still haunting me
A part I could never let go
A Valentine's Kiss - softened voice on the telephone
Calling me home to what

I SEE I NEED (breakfast)

There's a part of me still left with you
A part I could never return
The fabric's worn and getting on
But somehow it keeps me warm for a while

I SEE I NEED (elevenses)

"Too Late"
 
Too late to find the reason
Too late to wonder why
Too soon to forget the question
Too soon to have to decide

Just why I'm still thinking about the times and places
What could have been, could have been different
What should have been... It's too late

Too late to kiss the answer
Too late to slap the truth
Too soon to cover footsteps
Too soon to start anew...

On a different trail of lies
Ignoring questions and wondering why
I can't say I don't love you and just can't say I do.

Too late.

"Another Girl"
 
Stop looking at me girl - can't you see there's no reflection
Stop looking to me - you'll find no education
In my wake - another girl is loving me now
Another girl.

Go on tell me about it - I wanna know
Then put some space between us - I'm in love with another girl
In my wake - another girl is loving me now
Another girl.

"I Think We're Alone Now"

Originally by Tommy James and the Shondells
 
“Children behave.”
That's what they say when we're together.
And “Watch how you play.”
They don't understand.

And so we're,
Running just as fast as we can,
Holdin' on to one another's hand.
Tryin' to get away into the night,
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say;

I think we're alone now.
There doesn't seem to be anyone around.
I think we're alone now.
The beating of our hearts is the only sound.

Look at the way,
We gotta hide what we're doin'.
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew?

And so we're,
Running just as fast as we can,
Holdin' on to one another's hand.
Tryin' to get away into the night,
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say;

I think we're alone now.
There doesn't seem to be anyone around.
I think we're alone now.
The beating of our hearts is the only sound.

"Win Some Lose Some"
 
I'd like to sweep away the lies I could shake from you if I
tried
I'd believe your mouth but you forgot to tell your eyes
I didn't think I'd see you hanging around
You must have nothing to do
I'm sick - I love to watch you squirm, trying to hide the truth

Win some, lose some

I'd like to hire a famous painter to creosote your mouth
Throw a few devious questions about
To see if you got out of that or got out
It's the same lines you expect me to swallow
Well there is no need to hide the fact
Win some, lose some -
I've lost too much to let you sit back and relax

Win some, lose some
