Ersatz
Sad to say, you were running around
so you had to say you were out of town
selling ad-space for a music magazine
and now it's all making sense
you never told me the name
so can I have a subscription
To Ersatz
your little indie rock & roll fanzine
and I'll buy a full page
if you promise you won't leave
how could you be so mean
Bad Bad Implications
Little Bit About
Just tell me a little bit more
bout the picture on your wall
she's always takin' it easy
you know it's easy on her
I'm not picking on your drug
how he does it
I don't know
how he does it
The pictures left on his floor
dont seem to fit no more
he's realised that she saw
it's just imposible
I'm not picking on your drug
how he does it
I don't know
how he does it
little bit about
just a little bit about.
Single
I just want to be single
but I want to see you every single day
and he said "I'll see you in October, girl"
and I say "I really wanna see you now"
'Cos if a whole day goes by without thinking of you
there's a hole in my day
and maybe I'll fill it up
with someone else to replace your smile
so I know I'll never be single
even though I tried it for a day
You said I don't like the sentiment
but I'll sing along anyway
I just want to be single, girl
but I wanna see you every single day
And the photo showed it was over
I could see it in your eye
look straight into the camera lens
without a wave goodbye
And if one day goes by without thinking of you
there's a hole in my day
and maybe I'll fill it up
with someone else to replace your smile
so I know I'll never be single
even though I tried it for a day
I just want to be single
but I want to see you every single day
he said "I'll see you in October, girl"
and I say "I really like to see you now".
Everything You Give Me Breaks
Give me a reason why
I should fall back down on you
but you made me so happy
when you painted on my shoe
high as a kite all the time
I've been patient in the past
but I think you've blown it now
Now I'm startin' to look around
makes me sad, what I've found
finally, enough
I've found the one for me
And everything you give me breaks
so how do I tell you wanna break up
sometimes I find it harder to relate
so how do I tell you wanna break up
Happy, but very muddled
I don't think it will last
you're gonna be a statue
if you don't move real fast
And we'll save it, just for now
or will it feel different in a week
I've got to make my mind up
When everything you give me breaks
so how do I tell you wanna break up
sometimes I find it harder to relate
so how do I tell you wanna break up
Tonight, doesn't seem right
how much is enough
and you're only young.
Wigram
Now I'm not good enough for you
you had a crush on me now we're thru
and thats a little sad but I'll get by
I don't know what I think now when I look at you
jump and over do it it'll see you through
I'm bending over backwards make a bridge for two
it just wont do
Sometimes its so hard just to talk to you
you make me realise
keep looking through the window I see me and yuo
it just wont do cos it's not true
now I'm not
Finding the line that you crossed causes me
?playin all the years? that you'll come back to me
it's time you told me how you feel
I will never know cos you just dont show
we were meant to meet at the fountain
always on time from my disappointment.
Forgotten Night
It had to happen sooner or later
I'm so scared of what's begun
I want to run far away from here
but I know I'll just sit back
and watch you fade away from me
so I just put down as a forgotten night
You leaned back and laughed
I'll never forget that look
and how did it start I've been so careful
I know my place
and what would happen
it's too crazy to contemplate
so I'll just put it down as a forgotten night
But I don't wanna
I just want to see you now
if it's alright
have we got time
time for a forgotten night.
Lie Down Forever
Just want to lie down 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 down 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
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.
Had The Time Of My Life
Had the time of my life
when your eyes fell into mine
stood before me asking me my name
had to hurry there was not much time.
I had the time of my life
when your arm crossed into mine
and now you leave me wondering
just what I did to pay the price.
It didn't dawn on you to
open up my head and see through
the little part that makes me want you
when its hard it should be forever.
I had the time of my life
when your heart crossed into mine
stood before me asking me my name
had to hurry there wasn't much time.
I had the time of my life
when your hand fell into mine
and now you've gone to leave me wondering
just what I did to pay the price
It didn't dawn on me to
open up my head and see through
the little part that makes me want you
when it's hard it should be forever.
and it never ends
and it nevers ends
and the funny thing's now we're not even friends
and it never ends.
Stranger
Saw us through that sad night
and just in time to be too late.
You take too much to heart
and now I'm not so certain after all,
just what it's for.
So here I am alone again,
when I'm a stranger to myself
desperate love, sick in the heart
???
goes against my brain.
Thanks for wishing me good luck
see you had to find out
just what's causing the pain.
So how can I now what it's about
when I'm a stranger to myself.
Stranger to myself
stranger to myself
and I don't know
if it's too late then I should go.
So how can I know what it's about
when here I am back alone
'cos I'm a stanger to myself.
stranger to myself
stranger to myself
stranger to myself
and I don't know
if it's too late then I should go.
Days Gone By
And does a day go by
when you're not hangin' round in my mind
and I'm wondering if it's not a crime
if it was then I'd smile all the time.
And do you find it strange
seeing me locked in a cage
and I've got the key, it swings from my hand
swinging from an elastic band.
The words "Jane's calling,
she wants to speak to you"
If you see her this morning,
smile.
Your friend she died
too scared she flew off into the night
and I'm wondering if it's not a crime
if it was we'd still cry all the time.
The words "Jane's calling,
she wants to speak to you"
if you see her this morning,
smile.
And does a day go by
when you're not hangin' round in my mind
and I'm wondering if it's not a crime
if it was then I'd still smile all the time.
Your friend she died
too scared she flew off into the night
and I'm wondering if it's not a crime
if it was we'd still cry all the time.
The words "Jane's calling,
she wants to speak to you"
if you see her this morning,
smile, smile, smile, smile, smile,
smile, smile, smile, smile, smile,
smile, smile, smile, smile.
Something Unplanned
It's not something that you planned
if not working out,
you just don't have any say in it,
when you fall out of love.
And I try and remember the feeling
and I find it hard to drap up the past,
but the only thing that springs to mind
is the truth that's holding out at the start.
I must've over stepped the mark
taking tunnel long enough
looked out ?? just for a laugh
you ?? handle,
when you fall out of love.
And you know something will happen
it's in the air you know the taste
but it's not something that you can run from
?? shakin out of place.
It's not something that you planned
not anythng that I was working out
you just don't have any say in it
when you fall out of love.
Sweet thoughts of Sarah were swept away
Sweet thoughts of Sarah were swept away
Sweet thoughts of Sarah were swept away
Sweet thoughts of Sarah were swept away
Every Now & Again
If it's alright
don't wanna go out tonight
just wanna bring myself into a clearer light
But you think I'm upset now
I just need some time alone
then you'll start resenting me
in the way that I feel down
every now and again.
My The Mind
My the mind
giving me a reason
for breaking down all the time
I'm going in and out of season
now it's taken me till now
to work out where I'm going
?I'm keeping? the sun
my life starts showing me the way
I know I'm closer it's getting warmer
My the mind
fall to my knees and try and stop it
is it such a crime ?mashing? in
don't even taste the flavour
till it hits the very bottom
into the water I throw a flower
that I picked up off the pavement
watch it float, float away
as I turn and head for home
and I know I'm getting closer
it's getting warmer
My the mind
giving me a reason
for breaking down all the time
I'm going in and out of season
and I'm freezing but I'm closer
it's getting warmer, water
?feels really? flower
that I picked up off the pavement
my life starts showing me the way
I know im closer it's getting warmer.
My the mind
Poncho
Mistletoe Revenge
There's sleep in my eyes and they sting
I should be asleep but my ears ring
along with the hum of the fridge
and the dogs in the street keep me company
Till three and you still haven't sung
but visions of Zillar in my head have come
for the song stapled onto the edge of the bed
and Daisy keeps me company
Picture this if you will shut your eyes
I'm capturing sunlight in a jar
Look of surprise but then she'll never know
that the night lights a statue for all to see
It's crowded now but the magnet begins
it's mistletoe revenge dig your fingers in
and draw blood paint a face make it stay
locked away in my head to keep me company.
Mistletoe Revenge guitar tabs here.
Pushpin
Hey I'm not shy
so I'm gonna ask you for a dance
and I hope it lasts all night
'cause I might not see you ever again
And I heard that you were shy
Pushpin told me just the other night
and I know that can't be true
when you're with me you won't shut up
I do believe I'm as shy as you
And I'd like to kiss you good night
just like I did in my dreams
and I hope it is alright
we could break the rule no one'll know
But I heard that you were shy
Pushpin told me just the other night
and I know that is a lie
from the way that you look at me
I do believe I'm as shy as you.
Another Spring, Another Love
Another spring, another love
where do these flowers all come from
another girl has one my heart this time
I start to come across,
as if I have never lost,
those feelings that you give to someone else
another spring I'm not in love.
It's just something you can not plan
suddenly you find yourself holding hands
another weak spot, whepped for years
until it finally disappears
fades away all the dirt is lost
the flowers dry easy to crush
another spring this must be love.
And I know I never find it better
lying here right next to you,
another spring now we're together
'cos it's so easy to do.
Another spring, another love
where do these flowers all come from
another girl has one my heart this time
I start to come across,
as if I have never lost,
those feelings that you give to someone else
another spring I'm not in love
another spring I'm not in love
another spring I'm not in love
another spring I'm not in love
another spring I'm not in love.
Friend Of A Friend
And it was so ironic
it made me want to dance
like I was under a spell
yeah you had me in a sort of trance.
Look for it,
hard across the land
???
you got a cross on each hand
made up of things I could understand.
You're a friend of a friend and I hardly know you now
all the signs are there but we havn't spoken of
bye, bye that bitter sweet time,
when you smile at me,
you're a friend of a friend that she had to meet.
Showed me a picture,
a drawing of the sun
that's just like mine,
but I think alot of people have the same one.
She was on something else,
what looked like rain,
just a shadow of herself
stood alone did her dance out of time.
Well you're a friend of a friend and I hardly know you now,
all the signs are there but we ?? round about
your guess is as good as mine
it's a bright light when you give them a smile,
you're a friend of a friend
and one that's good to know.
Picking up the pieces, crying tears of joy
little martha girlfriend is startin to finish it
taken by surprise, it's a happenin' all the time
red and raisin' runnin' round and 'cos the sun has just gone out.
And you're a friend of a friend and I hardly know you now
(what's that baby)
all the signs are there but we didn't talk about
(oh)
I'll be sad for a long long time
till the next time you smile at me
you're a friend of a friend (friend of a friend)
friend of a friend (friend of a friend)
friend of a friend that she had to meet.
It's Hard To Love A Drunk
You just walk away
left me on display and now,
I?m hearing somebody play
"if you could read my mind"
almost 3 times a day,
it?s crazy.
And if there?s just one thing I can remember that you said
"it?s hard to love a drunk"
I?ve got nothing to smile about
?cause it was suppose the rain
and we?re desending yeah,
or have I forgot, that I?m in love
or am I not
So put me on a trolly
take me to my room
and move aside the junk
?cause it?s hard to love a drunk.
It?s the same story as when we were young
but now not with a mouthful of gum
?cause it?s hard to love a drunk.
Like out on a San Fran stage
a maniguin on display
out of control.
So you just walk away
?cause I?m out in the rain, yeah
and you wish that you never came.
And maybe there?s just one thing I can remember that you said
"I got to go, ?cause it?s hard to love a drunk"
yes, it?s hard to love a drunk
yes, it?s hard, it?s so hard to love a drunk.
Out Of My Mind
Out of my mind and I just can?t take it anymore
left behind, by myself and what I?m living for
all I hear are screams from outside those limousines
that are taking me.
Out of my mind, through the key hole in a open door
happy to find that I don?t know what I?m smiling for
tired of hanging on if you miss me I?ve just gone
?cause they?re taking me, out of my mind.
Out of my mind and I just can?t take it anymore
left behind, by myself and what I?m living for
all I hear are screams from outside those limousines
that are taking me, out of my mind.
Seeing Stars
I couldn't stop smiling
although I was sad
but thinking 'bout you and me this morning
must have been the best time I've had
and I catch your eyes changing
from ?? to brown, blue and green
and you notice me shaking
kind of shy, 'cause I didn?t drink.
Here I am waiting for a plane
to see the Proton Energy Pills play
and this long distance love song's stuck
in my head and it wont go away
I couldn't stop smiling
although I was sad
but thinking 'bout you and me this morning
must have been the best time I've had.
??? seeing the stars
and I ?? was in my head
and I couldn't stop smiling
thinking 'bout the cat curlin' up on the bed
and you couldn't stop smiling
with your head tilted back
and we couldn't stop crying
knowin? there wouldn't be a next time
it's too bad.
And now it's gonna be a sweet sad time
to have a sweet sad song
now it's gonna be a sweet sad time
Didn't mean much at the time
means a whole lot to me now x6
Table For One
Just get it over and done with
tell me you've found someone knew
then I'll stop with all the questions
I'll stop bugging you
I know you don't need a reason
'cause I've been away so long
but dont tell me you love me baby
it's true then I wont come home
Every one of our friends
said we'd get back together
well give me a table for one
'cause they're all wrong
Looks like it really is over
we havent spoken for a year
and your voice is so far away
I can hardly hear you speak
I know you've got a new boyfriend
I read about it in a dream
you got lost in the blue mountains
on a long weekend what a shame.
Table For One guitar tabs here.
Mathrock Boy
I used to pals with this guy
who?d suck me up and throw me around
then I was buddies with you
and your crowd was more my scene
and it?s all mucked up and I?m so fucked off
it?s the same old style that opened my eyes.
But apropos of that
my feet are here to stay
and I?ll never tie my head
to anyone again.
Used to hang out, it was fine
but he was just a mathrock boy
I wasn?t into that time change
after 5 long days it starts to annoy
but when I hear the whigs of the afgan kind
in the best way possible I want to cry.
But apropos of that
my feet are here to stay
and I?ll never tie my head
to anyone again.
Well the best that it can be,
is not too horrible
the worst that it could be,
is not impossible.
Fly Me To The Moon
When it started to go bad I missed the signs
she told me "It's all over, Baby"
and I thought she meant the movie
that I wasn't even watching
"Is It Such A Crime?"
It's cool to mope
I must've let it all go in and out and fly away
but I kept the part that gives me misery
'cause that's the only feeling left inside of me.
Go Now
Go now (x6)
there arn't no chains around you baby
you can go now
ain't gonnan hold you down
or mess you up
now, no how.
Go now,
look for what you've been missin'
get it out of your system
follow your heart.
go do it all
try everything
it's your day baby
go have a ball
if that's your thing
it's ok baby.
Go now, don't feel bad
there's no need to
that's the deal we agreed to
right from the start.
Oh, baby go,
chase your world with it's rainbow skies
it can make you sing
or make you cry
And it can fill your heart with sorrow
yeah, just like mine is now filled with sorrow
Go now, baby go now
but remember me, tomorrow
remember me, tomorrow
Go now, don't feel bad
there's no need to
that's the deal we agreed to
right from the start
But remember me tomorrow
remember me tomorrow
go now (x18)
Coastal
I'd like to go to ?? coast
sit and look at waves
the harder they come in
the more i want to die.
shouldn't think of things like that
to make my memories sad
long ago you dreamt that
i'd be the best friend you've ever had
I've got a ride that ??
we're stayin' down there with friends
making fish for dinner
for filling our weekend
Gave me a chance to get away
i've gone coastal for 2 days
if only there were 2 or 3 of me
then i could stay down there for years
So go coastal
sometimes the best things are
well worth waiting for
makes me smile,
maybe some day we'll take the combi
And go coastal
and go coastal
and you're coastal
Why didn't i take the hint
you played sad and lonelies all night
turned down the lights real low
so low i fell asleep
long ago we never got round
but dreamt ?bout the very first kiss
long ago the ??
started calling you the heartbreak kid
so go coastal (x8)
i'm back with you now.
Enter #3
Over to you, never saw the room that you grew up in
it could be true, childhood home is the best friend
I want to hold you, doesn?t matter where or when
but it?s up to you.
Have longed for you, so here I come
you?ve made you mind up
it?s funny how these things work out
so it?s back in the elevator
press the doors closed with no doubt
that it?s up to me
enter #3 so here you come.
Over to you, never saw the room that you grew up in
I want to hold you, doesn?t matter where or when,
but it?s up to you
have longed for you, so here I come
and when we?re done what will we do
