Romolo

Good To Me #2

She's such a mystery and i don't know just where she'll be
everytime she runs around i know that it will bring her down
and oh, everytime i see her i just stop
and oh, she tells me she's been there when she has not
and oh, she's a mystery, but she's so good to me.

Time and time and time again she don't believe a word i said
all that runnin' round in town i told her it would bring her down
and oh, everytime i see her i just stop
and oh, she tells me she's been there when she has not
and oh, she's a mystery, but she's so good to me
she's a mystery, she's so good to me
she's a mystery, she's so good to me
she's a mystery, she's all alone
and she's a mystery even at home
she's a mystery, but she's so good to me
she's a mystery, she's so good to me
she's a mystery, she's so good to me, she's a mystery.


Taking The Easy Way Out

There's no need to be quiet
no early night in
just feeling shaky
about the whole thing
it's just another waste of time
money spent and nothing gained
I stay up late, so I can take
the smile right from my face.

And now i'm taking the easy way out now
I think too much when i'm fooling around
I'm taking the easy way out now.

You have always been
the subject of my dreams
and not of many conversations
most of them to me
and in a little while I'll see myself
and i'll whipe that smile right from my face
I'll whipe the smile right from my face.

And now i'm taking the easy way out now
I think too much when i'm fooling around
I'm taking the easy way out now.

You might think that I am a little strange
I didn't know it was a crime for me to change
and with a little smile I'll make you think
that it was all worth while
but you won't believe it when you leave
there'll be tears rolling down my face

'Cause now I'm taking the easy way out now
I think too much when I'm fooling around
I'm taking the easy way out now
I think too much when I'm fooling around
taking the easy way out now.


Turn Around


Kensington

I've been ever so lonesome and blue
since you through me out of your place
but when i read your letter just the other day
i put down what i was drinking and now i'm on my way
so i'm hitching to Kensington
i've got my cowboy boots on my feet
and when i get there i'm gonna climb up your stairs
we'll kiss at the door, i'll kick my boots on the floor

i'm heading back to Kensington
i'm goning to through my hat in the air
my baby wants me back again
i'm going to sing and shout "oh yeah!"

you'd be just as excited as me
if you knew how lonely i'd been
drinking away the day you said goodbye
with a broken heart and tears in my eye.


Believe Me

Now that i've found you i won't let go anymore
?? well i've said all this before
just believe me
if you won't, if you don't then go
i know you won't trust me no matter what i do
to prove me love to you
just believe me
if you won't, if you don't then lets go
believe me
this could be the end of you and me
believe me
if you won't, if you don't then go
i call you up at work
'cause i don't see you at night
i want to start over my life
and i'll do something that will go inside with you
forgive me not you say and i won't 'cause i'm with you
is that enough to get it through
that i'm around to make you smile again
believe me
believe me
if you won't, if you don't then go.


Run Wild Again

well, i can not believe it
when she came to my door
that the earth it did tremble and the windows all shake
and she told all these stories till it turned to late
then i wake up and it's all imagination
run wild again
and i was so sure it was the real thing
well i could not believe it
not half the things she said
and there was no reason in the world
to talk about my friends like that when she couldn't tell
then i wake up and it's all imagination
run wild again
and i was so sure it was the real thing
i want to run, run wild again
i want to run wild again
i want to sit and talk to my friends and dream in the end
and run wild again
well i can not believe it
when the topic turned to me
then i started to tremble and i began to shake
and she told all these stories till it turned to late
i wake up and it's all imagination...


Word Gets Around


Sad Situation

if you put your ear to the ground
you can hear the sound of a lonely girl
she's been searching for committment
but to what and to whom
she can't take it anymore
'cause the sad situation has brought her down

someday she'll find the way
three friends they have told her so
must be easy to let it all fall down
but who's to blame in the end
she can't take it anymore
'cause the sad situation has brought her down

to end it all would do no good
she dries her eyes and she comes around
and so she goes to her window and screams there's more
and her hand written letters fall to the ground


Lounge Room


Crayon Cafe

Spilling out your problems
at the Crayon Café
and I´m spilling my coffee
cause there’s nothing much to say
you wanted this and you wanted that
I gave you the world, and you threw it back

I’ve seen worse situations than yours
like just the other day I ran into George
he was looking for a present that he couldn´t afford
for a girl who was just so totally bored, poor George

so go ahead, pretend that you´re looking for a change
don´t pretend there are people who can make this change to your life
cause it´s not right

now you say that it´s so confusing
how will you choose
and who will be the leaders
and who will lose

some one turns from the next table
his name I didn’t catch
he impress you for your small talk
you think you´ve met your match
and while the orders taken, you´re talking politics
do what you like, cause I´m gonna have another drink
but don´t let him deceive you
no don´t play up to his game
I´d like to say the same to him, because you are to blame
just change your own life
and start a new life


Kirsty (Call It Lonely)

she's here and i want you
for the one millionth time
scratching the carpet keeping time
she sees the little children running by
to catch up with Mr Whippy
down the road he ?? so fast
she goes out for an icecream
her favourite's a dizzy chocolate chip

it's called lonely
i call it lonely
'cause Kirsty never came back

well i remember leaning on to her
it was the night that we first met
i cleared me throat and told her
she shouldn't through those drinks
in the last ?? she impressed
and how we ended up together
two months later, sort of hard to explain
maybe it was from the way
she through that Black Russian in my face

it's called lonely
i call it lonely
'cause Kirsty never came back

so here i sit day dreaming on the sofa
for the one billionth time
and fully ?? from one to eight
and how i wish there were a few hundred more
and then slight interruptions
stumbled in and i sat there amazed
hand held out an icecream
chocolate bits melted onto the floor

yeah, i said it's called lonely
too bad yeah
i call it lonely
'cause Kirsty never came back

maybe she was, never meant to be
was it her, or was it me
who took the curse out of Kirsty
or did she take a tip, from my family
and leave before i could close the door
and make it difficult to see

it's called lonely
too bad yeah
i call it lonely
'cause Kirsty never came back to me
it's called lonely


Sleepwalk

you sleep, and i'll walk a new day
one looking at direction
turn around and see me gone
bad habit of mine to disappear
call me, i left my number
by the bed that started it all
you've crossed that line
you've crossed that line across the room

you looked me in the eye
kick my feet to the floor
take my jacket off the chair
and ring a taxi home
and that's all in a nut shell
you flipped to pages that were right
many meories recollected and stories
tell some just to kill the time

how many times
when it's hard to keep it special
?? of mine
all the time spent filled with laughter
and now you lie there sleeping
while i walk down the stairs
like the time in September
but now nobody cries
one looking at direction
turn around and see me gone
bad habit of mine to disappear
call me, i left my number
by the bed that started it all
you've crossed that line
you've crossed that line across the room
