Pretty Face
02:56

I had a taster and had to have it all
A pretty face left me feeling out of hand
In all my haste, I didn't think it through
A pretty face left me buried in the sand
I didn't even play with fire and I still got burned
I tried to get a little higher now the tides have turned
In the right place and waiting in the wrong line
A pretty face left me feeling out of hand
I didn't even play with fire and I still got burned
I tried to get a little higher now the tides have turned
I put my hand through the fence and lost a finger
I took a head-first dive and now my eyes sting
Look at me, you've such a pretty face

Treat That Girl

The first over the line
is never the winner
when there's a queue
When the weather is fine
Take her for dinner
'Table for two'
Treat that girl right
Treat that girl right
Treat that girl right
Don't wait for a sign
It's just the beginning
and there's a queue
Walk her back after nine
You could be a winner
Take off your shoes
Treat that girl right
Treat that girl right
Treat that girl right

A fall like no other
I can't get up and go
It turned a different colour
Black, blue then yellow
You were a drop dead lover
and you put on a show
Now when we're under cover
we always lose the flow
You used to make me all weak at the knees
I'll admit that I was easy to please
and all I'm asking for is a little more from you
I ain't got no brother
It gave me room to grow
You look a bit like your mother
and that's no major blow
A fall like no other
I can't put on a show
and when we're under cover
we always lose the flow
You used to make me all weak at the knees
I'll admit that I was easy to please
and all I'm asking for is a little more from you
I thought we were set for life
Let's set things right
Well, you're a drop dead lover, baby
and you're putting on a show
So, join me under cover
and we'll have another go

My Bad Dream
03:05
|

|
You can rough it out, you're smooth
Find another way or move out of mine
I don't know what I did
but to me, it seems we're done
It's such a struggle sleeping through
We'd better twist and tighten up the screw
before it gets too loose
or is the thread already stripped?
Stay with me through my bad dream
Will you do it now or soon?
Until I suffocate, I can't prove to you
I don't know how to breathe
or do you not care any more?
Stay with me through my bad dream
Bad habit's waking me with news
Suspicion moves me up to the edge of my seat
and I should hold on tight
before the ride is spun much faster
Stay with me through my bad dream

I Could Be You
03:03
|

I wish I could see out the day for you
As lonely as you get, we all feel the same
I wish I could be you today
I wish I could get you to take in the truth
Despise a picture, hang out in the frame
It's boring, I'll tell you again
I wish I could be you today
As long as you know that I'm glad it ain't me
I wish I could be you today
As long as you know that I'm glad it ain't me
I wish I could be you today
I wish you could see they've got no respect for you
You're solely responsible and take all the blame
I wish you could escape the shame
As lonely as you get's okay
I wish I could be you today
As long as you know that I'm glad it ain't me
I wish I could be you today
As long as you know that I'm glad it ain't me
I wish I could be you today
I wish I believed you today
I still don't believe you
I wish I could leave you alone

Beaten
Pipped to the post
You're equipped with the most
alluring attributes I've seen
Beaten
Missed out on the chance
The distance we had to dance
was too far for you and me
And then, at last, I got my hands on you
and it was worth the wait
And when, at last, I got my hands on you
I didn't know that I was not quite on time
Beaten
Slow off the line
Now I'm glad that our paths have aligned
and I'm riding on your route with you
And then, at last, I got my hands on you
and it was worth the wait
And when, at last, I got my hands on you
I didn't know that I was not quite on time
So, come on
Rid me of the taste of defeat
We took the lead and won
and crossed the line in a dead heat
And then, at last, I got my hands on you
and it was worth the wait
And when, at last, I got my hands on you
I didn't know that I was not quite on time
So, come on
Rid me of the taste of defeat
We took the lead and won
and crossed the line in a dead heat

Break It Up
03:16
|
|||
|
Break it up, sit back and watch it fade away
or leave it out where time will see that it decays
Turn the wheel and get this in motion
Break the seal and taste the potion
When everybody's left you
Will you regret your choice of footwear?
When everybody's left you
Don't keep me waiting as that's not fair
Turn your head around until they've gone away
Turn your back to that, there's nothing more to say
Such an outpour of emotion
was bound to cause all this commotion
When everybody's left you
Will you regret your choice of footwear?
When everybody's left you
Don't keep me waiting as that's not fair

Forbidden
01:40
|
|||
|
Forbidden to touch
but I couldn't help myself
It's a long time coming so soon
Forbidden's too much
Is it better for my health?
'cause I'm worn out running with you
It's gonna feature repeatedly
It's gonna reach me anywhere
It's gonna teach me a lesson
There's no need rush
but I couldn't help myself
It's a long time coming so soon
You're compelling in the cruelest way
and you keep telling me I'm not allowed near
I think you're gonna have to let me

When You're Gone
03:08
|

|
I must have missed it dearly
I still flick through the wrong paper
I should have told you, really
and made it easy for you
When you're gone
I can't think straight
I can't eat much
I can't empty my plate
When you're gone
I stay up late
I crave your touch
I keep checking the date
I should have said it clearly
I won't be able to later
Don't you be getting teary
Just make it easy for me
When you're gone
I can't think straight
I can't eat much
I can't empty my plate
When you're gone
I stay up late
I crave your touch
I keep checking the date

Everyone's Dead
02:37
|

You turn up late but boy, you're looking good
I know you know it by the way you're stood
and the way you move divides the floor
You've gone to tell her what you said you would
I'm not so sure that she has understood
Have you told her truths or made it up again?
You're the life of the party when everyone's dead
and until you depart we will ignore you instead
You're causing trouble like we knew you would
I wish you'd do what we all think you should
and attempt to prove it's worth you being here
And when it's over in a flash and thud
and someone's lying in a pool of blood
You'll be headline news with it all to do
You're the life of the party when everyone's dead
and until you depart we will ignore you instead

A Stone's Throw
04:37
|

|
I might be in the driving seat
but I'm not holding the key
I was always gonna follow you to
wherever you had to be
And as the year keeps on rolling by
I'm putting more miles on the clock
It's not a stone's throw any more
Another journey the following week
A few more people to see
And it was gonna be all right, although
they're all so few and far between
And as the year keeps on rolling by
I'm putting more miles on the clock
It's not a stone's throw any more
I struggle turning the other cheek
I let 'em all get to me
And yet again, we've got one in the way
and I just can't let it be
And as the year keeps on rolling by
I'm putting more miles on the clock
It's not a stone's throw any more
