I considered being sad but that house is way too crowded and I'm a dreamer baby, my time is all I have and I'm now wasting it on this Is it Monday morning? No? Is it Wednesday evening - I don't believe in measured time now you're gone Yes I still believe you but I don't want to grieve you yet I'm sick of all this melancholy bullshit I'm tired of the sympathetic eyes I just want you back Is it Monday morning? Oh guess it's Wednesday evening I don't believe in measured time now you're gone yes I still believe you but I don't want to grieve you yet when will this blow over? I grow older every day and farther you stray all things must decay we have limited time you had to make up your mind sick of all this melancholy bullshit (is it Monday morning, no) tired of the sympathetic eyes (is it Wednesday evening) I just want you back I just want you back I JUST want you back

summer days, summer nights summer songs are much too trite "I've got nothing clever to say so I'll sing about the seasons" don't get me wrong, I love this song I might even sing along "dooo doo doo doo doo doo" you can sing about the summer when it's fall I don't mind at all guess it's better singing anything at all cus God hates instrumentals God hates instrumentals

lyrics

What goes around comes around So I’m told And what comes up always comes down But I spoke to the middleman and he told me you left town Now I’m not so sure Now the days turn into weeks As Frida Kahlo’s pop song creeps I wrote you in my melody then I played it on repeat And that’s where you were Now I’m not so sure

Tragicomedy such a silly word the need to classify this life seems so absurd to me but then again, what more can we do? between the working hours and "I love you's" you left your necklace here it's on my windowsill are you that reckless dear? or am I seeing you tonight? I call you operetta you keep it short and bittersweet and you can call me late for dinner just as long as you call

lyrics

You look just like St. Valentine Wearing those Lolita frames I wanted to be your puppet so bad isn't that sad? Now my strings are all cut away til we have our day: goodbye, my love goodbye my sweetest friend I tried, my love but I failed you in the end Shake your tambourine We'll slow dance to the death rattle battle lines and city limits valentines and limousines to hide and haunt the living streets Bathe in gasoline and show me to your death machine you and I are ghosts between the bars and the shadows Love is never saying sorry (even when you probably should) love is taking what you want (baby, now that's understood) love is a walk in the park, girl This is love (baby shoot me) this is hate (baby shoot me) this is good (baby shoot me) this is great this is you (baby shoot me) this is me (baby shoot me) this is harm-ony goodbye, my love goodbye my sweetest friend I tried, my love but I failed you in the end

Long way down To the bottom Longer still When you've fallen out of love (Long way down) Papers say He had it coming Drank away Any common sense he had (Long way down) Gathered 'round the body Such a grizzly affair And all the women rubernecking in the lobby Still got curlers in their hair They're singing, "oh, poor boy" Poor boy Is there anybody? Could it really be that nobody sees What happened here? Wasn't any slip and fall It was cold, cold blood (Foul play) I think that somebody's guilty And I'm gonna get to the bottom Once I unravel this mystery I'm gonna write me a novel I'll be like Truman Copote If he were tall, dark and handsome People all over will know me I'll take this whole world for ransom Wait... Take it down a peg Did you forget a boy has died? With no one there to cry In his wake Time to gather up the facts Time to look for clues Got bruises on his back And brand new shoes Got to piece it together Got to get to the bottom of what went wrong Maybe he had a debt he couldn't pay That cost him his life Maybe he was fooling around with somebody's wife Was it the wrong place? Maybe he saw something he couldn't unsee (In too deep) Poor boy Poor boy I'm gonna figure out What this was all about And when I do, you'll be free Mystery I'm gonna solve you now Mystery I'm gonna figure you out Gathered round the body Such a grizzly affair And all the women rubbernecking in the lobby Still have curlers in their hair

Rhetorical answers to dishonest questions a whole generation nearing obsession seen all good intentions pay too much attention to how they're presented a clinical rain but it's just a game, my love we play to appease the gods those towering figures who grew from the swamp to watch over us as if just to be seen would be divine

Haunted 00:56
lyrics

every night at five o'clock I have a drink or two and watch the evening news and so tonight was just the same, I switched it on, the anchor came along to talk about some day's events then he winked at me and plugged his nose I'm being haunted by a ghost and I don't know if it's really there or if it's just some shape in the dark but it's haunting all my windows and my cupboards it's the wind that blows the trees in the park

The Boy With Two Names (Demo) 02:06
lyrics
buy track
see the boy with two names changing on the day based upon the weather and to strangers that he meets in the bars or on the streets he's no one new just one of two they should dig him two graves or place his ashes on some borderline two funerals and two wakes and all the men will wear two ties at one service, they'll revere him at the other curse his name some will say he died a hero some will say he died in vain either way, it's all the same

secret dance 05:32

time time doesn't change this feeling restless pacing around in my kitchen again all I ever wanted was a friend someone to rely on someone to confide in in the end that secret dance we stole from time a second chance to set it right I want to wake up and be proud of myself don't want to have to say I'm sorry I want to cast away the devil in me sail out to sea and never look back don't want to hurt nobody shrug off this guilt and worry and leave it far behind sweep up the broken pieces I'll learn from history and show myself that I can be kind and I don't ever want to feel ashamed again I don't ever want to be that numb I don't want to throw it all away this time just want to find a little peace of mind
