If you want to hear my complication
It's true what they say
She's in love with me
But I can't keep her away
If you want to sign my resignation
There's debt to be payed
Now I've got to clean up
All the mess that I've made
[Chorus]
I don't feel like, I don't feel like
I don't feel like loving you
I don't feel like, I don't feel like
I don't feel like loving you
No more
If you're puzzled by my preparation
Well, you ought to know
I've been contemplating
How to let you go
And if you're saddened by this segregation
Just stop by our show
I'll be looking out
Into the far back row
[Repeat Chorus]
I told her it was all for fun
But now she thinks that I'm the one
For her
If I could start this all again
I'd tell her we could just be friends
For her
And I know she needs me
But she's far too clingy
I never wanted this
I never wanted this
(No, no, no, no)
[Repeat Chorus]

It's No Secret
03:01
|
|||
|
Hello, you are the sweetest girl
I've ever known in my life
I've never wanted more
I need you to be beside me
From the moment twilight
Pulls us far apart
[Chorus]
And it's no secret
I love you
I've never felt this way before
It's no surprise
That you are my sunrise
As I lie awake and wait
Until it's dawn
Tonight, I'll be thinking of you
Hear you calling my name
I never can ignore
Tell me all your secrets, darling
I can't help but believe you're starting
Fires in a paper factory
There's too many people
Walking these frosty streets
It would be so much warmer
Beneath your sheets
[Repeat Chorus]

Over My Head
04:09
|
|||
|
There are some,
Some people
Who say they'll never leave you
It's suddenly clear
I think I've gone over my head
This woman,
She loves you
Look at the mess that you've gotten into
It's suddenly clear
I think I've gone over my head
[Chorus]
Sometimes I look back
At the choices I've made
There are moments I like
And moments I wish I could change
Sometimes I look back
At the choices I have made
There are so many things that I would erase
This woman,
She needs you
But you fed her lies that weren't true
It's suddenly clear
I think I've gone over my head
That girl was not mine
I was simply passing the time
But now I'm struggling to find
A little peace of mind
And I know
I'm definitely over my head
[Repeat Chorus]
There are some,
Some people
Who say they'll never leave you
It's suddenly clear
I think I've gone over my head
I guess that love
Isn't what it seems
It doesn't mean a single thing to me
And I know
I'm definitely over my head
[Repeat Chorus]

But Still, I Pretend
02:04
|
|||
|
Why'd you always treat me second best?
Every day you seemed to love me less and less
And now I am a mess
For making eyes at you
You always found the time for all your friends
So I guess I wasn't quite that special then
But still, I pretend
That I've found a way in your heart
Love is such a dangerous game to play
One I find myself roped in day-to-day
I know it's a cliché
But there's an essence of truth
Ever since you left me on my own
I've been patiently waiting by the phone
Dreaming of the tone
To bring me back to you
And then you said that we could still be friends
But I hope I never see your face again
But stil, I pretend...

Beau

Beau,
Don’t ever change
‘Cause I love you
As you are
In the cold
I’ll lend you my coat
So the mist won’t get in through the fibre of your favourite dress
Darling, do you ever feel that your lonely
With no one to keep you warm at night?
Darling, I know that you’re always unhappy
With nobody lasting in your life
Beau,
Would you exchange
Your time for my two cents?
You are young,
Salaciously laced
But your youth is now wilting and soon you will wither away
Darling, I know how commitment might scare you
You’re nomadic so you’re never doting or confined
But Darling, don’t listen to what they might tell you
I’ll be waiting for you to change your mind

Dear Daisy
03:45
|

|
Daisy,
I've been thinking of you lately
Oh, Daisy, I'm crazy
To think I'm in love with you
Daisy,
Would you like to be my lady?
I must be crazy, my Daisy
To think you're in love with me
You have no idea
What you put me through, my dear
If I only knew what goes on
In your mind
And when I'm feeling blue
I just sit and think of you
And keep wishing that one day
You'll be mine
Daisy,
I've been thinking of you daily
Oh, Daisy, my baby
I'm in love with you
Daisy,
Please don't say maybe
Oh, Daisy, sweet lady
I know I'm in love with you
You have no idea
What you put me through, my dear
If I only knew what goes on
In your mind
And when I'm feeling blue
I just sit and think of you
And keep wishing that one day
You'll be mine
And keep wishing that one day
You'll be mine
My darling, Daisy
Would you like to be my lady?
I'm crazy, dear Daisy
I'm in love with you
Dear Daisy
I'm in love with you
Dear Daisy
I'm in love with you

No Good for Me
02:47
|
|||
|
She took all my love away
And left me on my own
She burnt down my kingdom
Now she's sitting on my thrown
I can't make it through the day
When you're always on my mind
Though I tried to lock you out
You keep crawling back inside
You're no good for me
You don't need nobody else
To live a pleasant life
But I don't think I'd make it through
With no one by my side
I kept all my promises
To keep you satisfied
Though I tried to keep you close
You kept pushing me aside
You're no good for me
This is, this is exploitation
Treating me this way
I hope you take the blame
For all of the frustration you have caused

Hey, Mr. Brady
02:52
|
|||
|
It's seven in the morning and it's no surprise
Waiting on the curb for the sun to rise
I was on my way to the cemetery
To see if there was still an empty space for me
[Chorus]
Hey, Mr. Brady, was the sun in your eyes?
Did you even see me as I passed you by?
Hey, Mr. Brady, why are you walking away?
I'm feeling kind of lonely and I'd like you to stay
Hey, Mr. Brady, oh won't you come back to me?
Hey, Mr. Brady, oh won't you come back to me?
It's quite in the office, working nine to five
Overhearing tales of your alibis
I pressed my ear against the wall
And learned you never really ever loved me at all
[Repeat Chorus]
I was never very sentimental
Until you went went away
And you left me all alone and exposed
Waiting by the phone
For a call that never came my way
I should have known that integrity
Was never quite important to you
Even after what we've both been through
But I am not a stranger
I am not a stranger
[Repeat Chorus]

Give Me a Chance
03:44
|
|||
|
It’s getting colder outside
Even so, that my words are frozen
Isolated in time and quiet spells
And the haze is slowly falling on me
As I settle on beds of roses
I count all of the thorns as they pierce my side
[Chorus]
So give me a chance
To show you what I mean
Give me a chance
To sweep you off your feet
Give me a chance
I really do believe
That you’re all I want
You’re all I need
I could tell by the look in her eyes
Underneath all of the snow and the ice
I could see that she’d slowly melt away
[Repeat Chorus]
And in the morning sunrise
I could see you there
And in the morning sunrise
I could see you there
[Repeat Chorus]

Not Today
03:07
|
|||
|
Not a word you said was true
You led me on with nothing I could prove
You were my one and only lover
Vodka, scotch and cigarettes
Three simple steps to help me to forget
Leave me alone
Let me recover
I only wanted you to notice
When I was not around
Idealism fools the brain
Idealism fools the brain
It was never meant to be
I cursed myself for wanting to believe
That life could never get much better
I close my eyes and see you there
Your golden hair, it brings me to despair
In my mind's eye, we are together
I only wanted you to know that
Sometimes I feel down
I'll make it through, just not today
I'll make it through, just not today
I'll make it through, just not today
I'll make it through, just not today

Sunshine
03:26
|
|||
|
The rain is gone, the sky is blue
And I no longer think of you
And I've finally found
A little peace of mind
The birds are chirping by the door
The aching in my heart's long gone
And I'm ready now
To carry on this time
(And I say)
[Chorus]
Let a little sunshine,
Let a little sunshine,
Let a little sunshine in your life
Time is slowly healing wounds
As dreary swaps for cheery moods
And I'm hoping now
That all is said and done
The secrets that I never shared
The words that I nimbly prepared
Have found their place
In writing set in stone
(And I say)
[Repeat Chorus]
It's not that I need you
It's not that I miss you
It's just that I wanted to say goodbye
The rain is gone, the sky is blue
And I no longer think of you
And I've finally found
A little peace of mind
[Repeat Chorus]

Love (Is All I Need)
05:20
|
|||
|
If I could take you anywhere
Would you travel there with me?
I’d take you on an aeroplane
And fly across the sea
Because this love
Is all I need
Because this love
Is all I need
You can take this heart of mine
And plant it like a seed
Nourish it and nurture it
It'll grow a thousand feet
Because this love
Is all I need
Because this love
Is all I need
But now you feel so far away
Oh, how I long for yesterday
I’ve got patience thinning out in my dismay
I could be the afterthought
In all the words you speak
But you are like the mountain top
That I can never reach
Because this love
Is all I need
Because this love
Is all I need
I could be the hero
From the books you used to read
Put me on a pedestal
And bring me to my knees
Because this love
Is all I need
Because this love
Is all I need
You never thought of me that way
I’m waiting for feelings to change
I’ve got patience thinning out in my dismay
