It's Better This Way

Mmm you hold out your hand
I draw mine away
I was once in touch now I've nothing to say
This time it's for real
We gave now we steal
No tears
For I fear it's much better this way
We can't look at each other
While distance of time
Has smothered all senses
By form or design
If distance is health
Hell what do you say next?
What do you say?
What do you say?
Walk walk walk
It's better this way
Walk walk walk
We can't carry on
As if nothing's happened
As if nothing's wrong
Truth, truth stares in our face
It closes its book
It opens at trust
That's not where we belong
Walk walk walk
It's better this way
We can't carry on
On and on and on and on and on
The room we sat in before
Now closes its door
It's trying to say it can't take
Any more the screams crack the walls
The picture now falls
And who'll be the first to pick them off the-
Love love love on the rocks
Now crumbles like chalk
Your friends were once mine
Now they no longer talk they
All say hello but can't wait
To go we must try to run
We can no longer-
Walk walk walk
It's better this way
Walk walk walk
We can't carry on
As if nothing's happened
As if nothing's wrong
Truth, truth
Stares in our face
It closes its book
It opens at trust
That's not where we belong
Walk walk walk
It's better this way
We can't carry on
As if nothing's happened
As if nothing's wrong
Truth, truth
Stares in our face
It closes its book book
Book book book booklet
It's better this way

Party Fears Two

I'll have a shower and then phone my brother up
Within the hour I'll smash another cup
Please don't start saying that or I'll start believing you
If I start believing you I'll know that this party fears two
And what if this party fears two
The alcohol loves you while turning you blue
View it from here from closer to near
Awake me
Don't turn around I won't have to look at you
And what's not found is all that I see in you
My manners are failing me I'm left feeling ugly
And you say it's wonderful to live with I never will
So what if this party fears two
The alcohol loves you while turning you blue
View it from here from closer to near
Awake me
I'm standing still and you say I dress to well
Still standing still I might but it's hard to tell
Even a slight remark makes nonsense and turns to shark
Have I done something wrong
What wrongs the wrong that's always in wrong
I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup

Club Country

The fault is, I can find no fault in you
Assault is say it or I'll say it to you
If we stick around, we're sure to be looked down upon
What better way or should I say
Alive and kicking
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always sickening at the Country Club
A drive from nowhere leaves you in the cold
Refrigeration keeps you young I'm told
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always sickening at the Country Club
Your limitations are our every care
Every breath you breath belongs to someone there
At all's two words, could they be soldered as one
Therein lies the pseudonym
You think you've learned to know someone and find
That you don't know, don't know all's at all
Alive and kicking
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always sickening at the Country Club
A drive from nowhere leaves you in the cold
Refrigeration keeps you young I'm told
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always sickening at the Country Club
Your limitations are our every care
Every breath you breath belongs to someone there
Sad to see that you're suffering
Work hard at being a something
Sad to see that you're suffering
Work hard at being a something
Sad to see that you're suffering
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always strychnine at the Country Club
A drive from nowhere leaves you in the cold
Refrigeration keeps you young I'm told
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're all receding at the Country Club
Your limitations are our every care
Every breath you breath belongs to someone there

Love Hangover

18 Carat Love Affair

I told you not to meet me here
I can't be seen with you whispering in my ear
I don't mind holding hands but not in front of company
It's not the done thing 'round here, baby
Next weekend we'll be on our own
And we can spend some time together all alone
But if she knew what I was doing
She'd throw the ring back into my face
An 18 carat love affair
Would then be stamped 'repair'
So we can't be seen in this place
Love affair
An 18 carat love affair
I don't know which side I'm on
But my friend John said not to care
Love affair
An 18 carat love affair
She might write to Evelyn home
If left alone and in despair
Please don't leave any clues around
The last time we...
She found some lipstick on the ground
I said an Avon girl had called
Free samples on display
She left her card
But I threw it away
But if she knew what I was doing
She'd throw the ring back into my face
An 18 carat love affair
Would then be stamped 'repair'
So we can't be seen in this place
Love
An 18 carat love affair

No

Tore my hair out from the roots
Planted them in someone's garden
Then I waited for the shoots
Then I waited for the shoots
Bit my nails down to the quick
Worrying myself sick about you
Tearing facial marks in bed
What kind of sequel is this that you dread
Tear a strip from your dress
Wrap my arms in it
Tear a strip from your dress
Wrap my arms in it
Shaved and cut myself again
Should have let it slip down further
Crushing sour stones taste sour
Every minute hears a medal
No no no no
Tear a strip from your dress
Wrap my arms in it
Wrap my arms in it
Tear a strip from your dress
Wrap my arms wrap my arms in it

Skipping

Doors lead to other doors
Roads lead to other roads
They are simple they just happen
They are simple they take care of themselves
They are simple they just happen to be there
Embarrassed try one too
Whatever times left of day
Marvelous lousy could this be your safest way
Ancestral in its own deficiency a deficit of skipping
Skipping
Skipping I left you there skipping
Ripping ropes from the Belgian wharfs
Breathless Beauxillous griffin once removed seemed dwarfed
They're simple in that they happen to be there
Embarrassed try one too
Whatever times left of day
Marvelous lousy could this be your safest way
Ancestral in its own deficiency a deficit of skipping
Skip skip skipping
Skipping skipping
Skipping skipping
Skipping skipping
Skipping skipping
Skipping I left you there
Skipping I left you there
Skipping I left you there
Skipping skipping

White Car In Germany

Aberdeen's an old place
Dusseldorf's a cold place
Cold as spice
Slide your way through Zurich
Walk on eggs in Munich
Run salt in its knee
I'm not one for surgery
Premature senility
White car in Germany
Anonymous as bathrooms
Androgynous as Dachshunds
Try them out and see
If some brat annoys you
Do what's felt impromptu
Kick them in their own
Is this your infirmary
On the road to recovery
White car in Germany
White car
White car
White car in Germany

Gloomy Sunday

Sunday is gloomy my hours are slumberless
Dear is the shadows I live without
None the less little white flowers will
Never awaken you not where the
Black coach of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought of ever
Returning you would they be angry
If I thought of joining you
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
Sunday is gloomy with shadows I
Spend it all my heart and I
Have decided to end it all soon they'll
Be candles and prayers that are said
I know let them not weep let them
Know I'm glad to go
Death is no dream for in death I'm
Caressing you with the last breath
Of my soul I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming I was only dreaming
I awake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart dear
Darling I hope that my
Dream never haunted you
My heart's telling you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday

Bap De La Bap

Bap de la bap it's a milestone around your neck
Bap de la bap is checking who in retrospect
Crrunching and chewing its way into the bone
Congealing itself with a toy from a splintered home

Bap de la bap it's an animal
Bap de la bap with its left foot off
Bap de la bap it follows you around
Bap de la bap it splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs

It's not your fault if you're seeing it stripped and bared
Vasco de Gama only travelled with intent to stare
A burst of hunger leaves it feeling satisfied
A labrador sits on the bed
With its tsetse tied

Bap de la bap it's an animal
Bap de la bap with its left foot off
Bap de la bap it follows you around
Bap de la bap it splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs

How does an antelope feel when it's getting chased
The same as a man with a geiger pointing in his face
Bap de la bap disregards all intelligence
Bap de la bap runs througgh us like a barded wire fence

Bap de la bap it's an animal
Bap de la bap with its left foot off
Bap de la bap it follows you around
Bap de la bap it splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs

Nude Spoons

I wrote a note and dug it underground
I dug it underground
I found a tool to scrape away the soil
I found a wooden soil
It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered
It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered with nude spoons Euphoria

I found a coin a washed away the silt
I found a shiny coin
A coin whose head was slightly to the tilt
Who'd leave it there in there in guilt/silt
It skimmed itself into the silvery Tay
Deep into the Tay
It's aging happing silvery in the Tay
It is still there today with nude spoons
Euphoria it lies there with nude spoons Euphoria

Just forget about it
Just forget about it
Just forget about

Nude spoons Euphoria
Nude spoons Euphoria
Nude spoons Euphoria

I'm glad I had this vital heart attack
It clears psoriasis
I'm glad I had this vital heart attack
It makes me want to
Wrote a note and dug it underground
I dug it underground
I found a tool to scrape away the soil
I found a wooden soil
It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered
It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered with nude spoons Euphoria

Just forget about it
Just forget about it
Just forget about

Nude spoons Euphoria
Nude spoons Euphoria
