me and Louise sipping tea mixed with turpentine/strange how the kids open wrists when the weather's fine/the sun's coming up but the light's fading from her eyes/I tell her not to hurry, I'm worried I'll be left behind/blinking in the sunshine/I've never been a winner, always seem to come in second place/I felt my luck was changing from the moment that I saw her face/now she's beside me too blind to guess her lover's fate/I tell her that I love her but those words have always come too late/blinking in the sun

She's the kind of girl who makes her move when it gets dark knows just how to hold 'em, she knows just where to start I'm the kind of guy who could use a little help yes I'm the kind of guy who needs somebody else to go first so go first, you have my permission babe go first, I could use your addition girl I'll respect your position girl just go first sometimes I have to wonder how this whole thing came about Dylan in the bedroom and Seinfeld on the couch I'm the kind of guy who never thought he'd win I'm the kinda guy, if given sink or swim, would drown first so go first, you have my permission girl go first, I'll review your submission girl I accept your conditions girl so go first I never dreamed I'd know a joy like this before I never thought I'd find my niche before I found you, girl now I see it all around me so put your arms around me and kiss me girl before you go away - I have something to say but you first

Villain (Tom/Harry GB demo) 03:58
lyrics

funny how the days turn into weeks weeks that stretch and intersect like new york city streets zoom out - you can see them from above alleyways of time spent wasted falling out of love But since I've hit the ground I've found a way to pull the night down like a shade that covers up the day guilty feeling wilting like the flowers on your grave I was the villain, but I'm not the villain anymore I've been hearing murmurs from the stars out drinking cosmos with your horoscope in dirty hotel bars but I'm through picking up his fucking tab and sharing cabs with chatty cathy constellation scabs thank you very much but I'm not interested in buying a subscription to that tabloid with my face superimposed onto the head of something sinister I'm not the villain, I never was You're not the villain either we're both the lone survivors of something that we used to call love no I won't be the villain and I won't play that golden violin or be your heart's leviathan for all your so-called friends to slay You really think they'd stick around had they been in my shoes? I hate to tell ya honey, but I've got some bad news... I'm not the villain

Annabella (final demo, thank christ) 04:12
lyrics

you told me love is like a railway you told me lovers are like trains some arrive right on time and others come too late so I slipped out through your backdoor the night I made my great escape left my confession on your pillowcase and I'm not coming back again Annabella don't think about me those dark clouds around me will only bring you rain Annabella when they surround me I might give 'em hell but I won't give up your name She picked me up when I was stranded she gave me so much food to eat ate til I was satisfied I took more than was offered me to take but never did she say a harsh word just gestured to an empty hand at the time I paid no mind but now I think I understand
