The Brightest Star
The brightest star in the sky
looks at me and wonders why
about all the time spent happy
just makes me want to cry.
The brightest star in the sky
has run its time to keep it down
??
she is out of reach
Don't turn around now or you will fall
is there a reason why I should never call.
So now ??? rip it up
you went away and laughed it off
just throw a chair to where it lands and shine on its arm
The brightest star in the sky
is how I feel
watchin' the tide running away
and crashing down what's left of my life.
Just look in your eyes now
see how light it is
that was all she wrote when she answered the call
The brightest star in the sky.
The brightest star in the sky
and when she knows how she feels
sometimes that, and sometimes feels
all of the lies, the brightest star falls from the sky.
The brightest star in the sky
the brightest star in the sky
and when she knows how she feels
sometimes that and sometimes feels, all of her lies
the brightest star falls from the sky.
Valentine Tour
So you're leaving
hope we get a chance to say see you soon
and by the way it's my birthday today
it was just bad timing
in the middle of a 'Valentine tour
Now you're leaving
grinning 'bout "Ray" and the birthdays in a row
bang, bang, bang
three cloudy nine times and I don't know
it was just bad timing in the middle
of a Valentine tour
So it's your birthday
called me up and cooled it down a bit
spent the last night in the kitchen, suprise
drinking tea and toast
in the middle of a Valentine tour
No I'm not the leader
when I go home it is only just for sleep
there's just too little time
to do everything that we
could have wanted to
if you chartered me
it was just bad timing
in the middle of a Valentine tour
When Rosemary Smiles
And all the while rosemary smiled
her eyes open wide then her body grew wings
and took off into the sun with invisible ink
She went directly over to the light
pushed it back and screamed for dear life
back in up that's showed the siren people
who will leave first on the train
Sits down amongst the lead and flour tubs
round and round the coil flakes ont o the floor
stucka plays the android as the chorus chants on
it is stark reality taken a little bit too far
So you know Rosemary Vincent too
after the Anniversary Parade
just went yeh-yeh s if they all knew
where she just flew in from
Recalling stories when you shared the same carriage
she said she was a dancer
you could tell from her talk
eyes are open wide so they know her too
long before the quiet town had taken her by storm
And all the while Rosemary smiled
her eyes open wide then her body grew wings
and took off into the sun with invisible ink.
Way Out Jim
I never went and saw you
just didnt want to
wreck what I'd made you out to be
I didn't want second best
I want you to know
should I stay or do I
really have a hand in my forgetting
which side I ride on
I'm on the way out Jim
and you're on the way in
Should I choose again now
dig deeper in your side
I sit here and you make me break
so sad I cried all night
And now I think that I'm like you
with the same name little sister
did you wish for one last song
something went wrong, went crazy.
It's just a little like ?? myself
press it harder, to make it melt
just like the fun we try to
down at the opening
it's a fading right in
'cause there's nothing inside
it's just a bad, bad implication
makes you feel scared
there's nobody home except me
it's just a little across the clut itself
press it harder, well she can write
out the back ???
looks good if we're only
balencing in the sky
like a run from the ??
it's time to go inside
it's just a bad, bad implication
that makes me feel scared
there's nobody home except me
bad, bad implications
it makes you feel scared
there's nobody home except me
?? little crock, makes me mad
he gets as good as mine,
just a little sad
just before the fun with strangers
down at the opening
it's a fading right in
and there's nothing inside
except a bad, bad implication
that makes you feel scared
there's nobody home except me
bad, bad implications
walk and set the new time
make me feel scared
now I'm beginning to find
that there's something inside
that I don't know
don't even know
no I don't know
don't even know
it's just a little like a ?? myself
bad, bad implications
press it harder, to make it melt
bad, bad implications
out the back ??
it's good if we're only
balencing in the sky
well it's time to go inside
and you know that I find
just a bad, bad implication
that makes you feel scared
there's nobody home, except me
bad, bad implications?
End Of Day
?? and george I sit and wonder where the water went
you were here before, there was more junk on the floor
feels like it's a dream but I know
one ??????
See what has to happen
you always get your way
here I am in the night at the end of day
Go down for more and still I wonder where it all got ??
crashed in your car, this time you didn't cry for more
feels like it's a dream but I know
that was really sad when you had to go
See what has to happen
you always get your way
here I am in the night at the end of day, say goodbye
I watched ?? in the sky
been 3 years ????
feels like it's a dream but I know
chestnuts on the wall, it's not my home.
You Treat Me Like A Kid
I've got this far off feeling
you must have known me as a child
when I'm pretty sure that can't be true
we've known each other only for a while
But it's like you won't admit it
that I'm older now, can take care of myself
I know just what I'm doing
but you treat me like a kid
Back to basics thanks once again
for giving me a second chance
now I'll always remember to hear the click
when I shut the gate
For lying down or falling in the mud
I could settle down but what does that mean
shave every day, subscriptions to every magazine
Not for me to know it wasn't finished
they all drove past and screamed
"You shouldn't have gone"
and it's not for me to save last weeks winner
I'll list them she said as she took her seat
got ready, tid her hair back
threw a smile hit by shrapnel, lots of teeth
yes don't bother coming back round here
Spent and hour looking sour, please disappear
Charter Me
Whatīs it supposed to mean
when youīre down ten foot deep
just gotta know
sit down and tell me everything you start to sleep
just lying low
and youīre hesitating, is it now
come to an end when you take a bow
shoot a new bow and arrow in the sky
and hit upon a star
go out and get them, yeh
hit him right between the eye
or is that going too far
but you can find out if you charter me
charter me
year after year after year the light is on
but itīs not plugged in at the wall
and itīs faded by the sun
just gotta know, why
just laying low, high
midnight on Monday
was the time night trauma called
and itīs better than a movie
and itīs right outside the hall
if you can charter me
charter me
charter me
Babe Rainbow
I must have been one
you posed on the beach
couldn't work out which one
my mandarin, just too hot's the skin
called Neon, called the operator
dial again, just got in
the prints I've seen before
but still I wont get bored
when you're around
I feel at home.
The Best Of Friends
I never tire of talking to you
never sick of seeing your face
probably because you told me
you didn't want to see me
when we could have been the best of friends
It's come around again, the summer is here
bringing memories of last year
we'd drive around or sit in your teepee
when we started to be the best of friends
It's so strange we don't even talk now
I start to forget what you look like
probably because you avoid me
pretend I'm not even there
just because we're not the best of friends.
Every Now & Then
You, every now and then
when I think of you in the rain
and you've only got me to blame
I was trying to run away
when you came around, every now and then
Each to their own
I'm covered in mud and stones
on the Pebble Court Motel phone
calling you cause it comes from me to you
Every now and then
I sink so low I can't get up again
I'm diving around the bend
then you come to say that you're my friend
'cause it's you, it comes from me to you
Across the universe
lands at your feet
then you shake a tree
then a leaf falls down on me
and it feels so true
'cause it comes from me to you
every now and then
when it feels so true
'cause it comes from me to you
The Brightest Star

Kitchen
Thrilled to be in the same post code as you
I'll tell you things I know you'd like to know
treat you to cake every night
suddenly talk and then it'll make you smile
smile at me I'll hold you really tight
I'll follow you into bed
Run around until morning
and we'll stay awake all night
we repeat the same stories
but of course never in front of friends
how it all started in the kitchen
Remember the time when you said
we should wait a while
but let me know if you change your mind
yeh I was sad for some time
but 12 hours watching me at the wheel
made me realise what you really feel
don't have to hurt anymore
Walking you home along Mt. Vernon Street
you'd tell me things that I was shocked to know
pretend it was me every night
so I'm thrilled to be in the same post code as you
I'll come and visit maybe never go
I'll follow you into bed
Every Now & Then

every now and then
when it feels so true
'cause it comes from me to you
Lie Down Forever
Just want to lie here forever
just want to lay down for good
so sick of speaking my mind
opening up all the time
I just want to lay down on the line
and visit my dreams
Just want to lie here forever
just want to lay down for good
just want to play down on the line
throwing rocks passing the time
visit me I'll make you feel at home
if you know what I mean
I wish I knew I really want to know
you've seen me touch it too
but that was long ago you make it mad real funny now
Plummet
Sleeper
Can't make it up
don't want to lie about it
sink so low, you'll never know
enbedded in bed
the rise and fall of sleeper
forever in bed
the rise and fall of sleeper
Do what you will
make it up overnight
two-thirds of your life
embedded in bed
the rise and fall of sleeper
foreved like lead
the rise and fall of sleeper.
It's Down To You To Make It Up To Me
Don't want your second hand drugs
it won't work out
don't like the way you're lurking around
can't figure your route
it's down to you to make it up to me
And I know I might feel better yet
then I know I will feel better when I'm dead
Can't seem to make you all crime
that room's a line
from steps too steep to sow
go figure your own
it's down to you to fall asleep on me
Turn Around
Its time to turn around and ask you where you go
when I have gone and you start shining
show me what it is that you know
it's all go, it's all go
Your face is turning going
out of the revolving doors
I go in circles and im repeating
??? that you've heard all before
and the television is telling me
that it's time to go and turn out the light
but the windows rattle and my ears
dont take it when the trucks roll by
It's time to turn around
and it's all go since I found
that it's not good that
you should be with me
Where do you fit into all of this
where do you go
I'm packed up and ready
and waiting at the door
for the next show
and the phone keeps ringing out
all the wrong numbers
I keep my hands on my head
I fall back down upon my bed
and think about the words that you said
Lie Down Forever
Just want to lie here forever
just want to lay down for good
so sick of speaking my mind
opening up all the time
I just want to lay down on the line
and visit my dreams
Just want to lie here forever
just want to lay down for good
just want to play down on the line
throwing rocks passing the time

Dead Sad Night
Why, does a beautiful day, like today
give me such a sad feeling
you, leaned forward and whispered
'cause it's nice, it doesn't last forever
but I know it'll be there tomorrow night
when you tell me that I shouldn't stay
it gives you such a sad feeling, then
you change your mind again the second time
will it be like this forever,
and you make your face to hide that smile.
All the while looks like a dead sad night
and I can't hear anything going wrong
that's when, that's good alright,
and I'll come back to you
don't worry on a dead sad night.
You were pulling tears to make me feel bad
you faked that sad feeling, and then,
came that deal to try and keep us apart
well it didn't last forever,
but I know it'll be there tomorrow night
when you tell me that I shouldn't stay
it gives us such a sad feeling, and then
you change your mind again the 20th time
will it be like this forvever,
but we'll never know just as long as we smile.
All the while looks lik a dead sad night etc.
Turn Around
Its time to turn around and ask you where you go
when I have gone and you start shining
show me what it is that you know
it's all go, it's all go
Your face is turning going
out of the revolving doors
I go in circles and im repeating
??? that you've heard all before
and the television is telling me
that it's time to go and turn out the light
but the windows rattle and my ears
dont take it when the trucks roll by
It's time to turn around
and it's all go since I found
that it's not good that
you should be with me
Where do you fit into all of this
where do you go
I'm packed up and ready
and waiting at the door
for the next show
and the phone keeps ringing out
all the wrong numbers
I keep my hands on my head
I fall back down upon my bed
and think about the words that you said
Look-A-Like
I want to find my look-a-like
so I can run and hide
I want to find my look-a-like
sneak away and die
Thought I saw him the other day on a bike
singing love songs real loud and high
then he turned the corner
and pedalled out of sight
I am angry and scared, I feel fire
screaming hate me, till noon
and carving deep 'I'm a liar'.
When The Sun Goes Down
When the sun goes down
it's when she gets around
on the ?? dog ??
she cracks me up every time.
Then I'll understand,
when she starts to cry
if it's from the ??
she tries to hide.
When the sun comes out
it's hell again.
So when the sun goes down
I'm not down.
And she likes my smile
when it's wide open
drives along wrong side of the road
she breaks down every time.
Beautiful sound
that she screamed so loud,
when will I wake up
and leave this sleepy town.
When the sun goes down
I'm not down.
She wants to watch the show
only stay a while,
leaves and takes the ferry home.
When the sun goes down,
it's hell again
when the sun goes down,
I'm not down.
Smothered
Well I shouldn't jump from the start
if I had a reason enough
well I shouldn't jump from the start,
just knocked out with it all.
And I looked up
I was so surprised that
I looked up at all.
Yeah, ????
????? hotel
and if you take this pill
it'll make you feel well.
And you looked up
I was surprised that
you looked up at all.
Smothered stranger
not so strange anymore.
Well, they say you're only fooling your self
I say I'm easily fooled
because it's fun, regretible fun
when you want something new.
And I looked up
I was so surprised
that I looked up at all.
It goes down now
that wasn't hard
soon you'll be ???
and if I don't see you again here's an extra 2.
And you looked up
I was so surprised that
you looked up, at all.
Smothered stranger
not so strange any more
smothered stranger
not so strange any more
Doubledecker Bus
Double decker bus
climb the stairs and take a ride on
the double decker bus
??? a high hope we don't tip
the double decker bus
we catch a 62B to the centre in a
double decker bus
see the Glasgow girls window shopping from the
double decker bus
in the cool of the day
up the front of the
double decker bus
double decker bus
double decker bus
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
