Thinking A Lot About You
03:27
|

|
Didn’t I scare you away?
Haven’t I already sabotaged this affair?
Wasn’t I the one
Sayin’ I’m not ready for this
Cause I’m thinkin’ a lot about you
Living in a constant state of restlessness
Like I just can’t wait
And I’m thinkin’ a lot about you
Wasn’t really looking for a lover
Only wanted someone I here to play with for a while
I guess it might be fun
I could be that fool for you now
Cause I’m thinkin’ a lot about you
Livin’ in a constant state of restlessness
Like I just can’t wait
And I’m thinkin’ a lot about you
Didn’t I scare you away?
Wasn’t really looking for a lover
But I’m thinkin’ a lot about you
Living in a constant state of restlessness
Like I just can’t wait
And I’m thinkin’ a lot about you
Living in a constant state of restlessness
And sleeping late
And I’m thinking a lot about you

Vacancy Signs
03:59

Hey babe would it be alright
If we stopped right now
And pulled in for the night
I’ve heard this record seven or eight times
And the conversation’s fading with the fuel gauge light
I see a neon sign up the street
For a hotel where we can sleep
Behind Vacany Signs
We still shine all night
But we’re missing the why
Broken words tonight
Fill these empty rooms
We’ve come this far
Hey girl would you set the alarm
Cause I’m gonna have a couple in the public bar
See I’m wide awake cause we get far
And I planned to drive all night
While you slept in the car
See the road is just too long
And if you’re tired we might belong
Behind Vacany Signs
We still shine all night
But we’re missing the why
Under the broken word tonight
In these empty rooms
Would be brides and grooms
We’ve come this far
I guess the road is just too long
Hey babe we just don’t belong
Behind Vacany Signs
We still shine all night
But we’re missing the why
We put broken words in lights
In these empty rooms
Would be honeymoons
We’ve come this far
We’ve come so far

Make It Count
03:35
|

|
I can only try once more
To make it count this time
Doin’ something that I cannot undo
Is proving mighty hard to
When I’m doing it to you
Somethin’ tells me it’s a shame
That there is no-one to blame
And none of it was true
You’ve really done
The deed this time
If it cannot be undone
I can only watch you run
Back into my arms once more
Let me show you to the door
I guess I been this way before
About a hundred times or more
I even know it by it’s smell
But taking chances is a habit
If I see a chance I grab it
Guess you know me well
I can only try once more
To make it count this time
I can only try once more
To make it count this time
But if you try
To make it right
Chances are it is forgone
I can only watch you run
Back into my arms once more
Let me show you to the door

Wipe Away My Tears
03:39
|
|||
|
I need somebody to wipe away my tears
I need somebody to brush aside these fears
I went to bed with the night light on
I woke up and you’re still gone
I need somebody to wipe away my tears
I need somebody to wipe away these tears
All of those words we said in haste
Forgotten now as I lie and wait
I need somebody to wipe away my tears
I keep hearing the words my mother said – I need somebody
Stuck like record inside my head – I need someone
Make your peace before you go to bed
You went and left before we had time
Now I don’t know what’s running through your mind
I need somebody to wipe away my tears
I need someone to hold me close and say – I need somebody
There’s no good reason for you to feel this way – I need someone
I’m back home now let’s start again
It’s the middle of the night almost quarter to four
I ain’t heard that key in the door
I need somebody to wipe away my tears
I need somebody to brush aside these fears
I need somebody to wipe away
I need someone to wipe away
These fears – need somebody to wipe away, need somebody to wipe
These tears

Cold are the nights
Long are the days
You sleep to find the comfort
That seldom comes your way
When will you come my way
When will you come my way
When will you come my way
When will you come my way
I stepped out of the darkness
In search of you my friend
I hoped you’d be my saviour
I had to step back once again
When will the red leaves fall
When will the birds fly home
If you appear before me
I won’t know what to say
This question will not leave
When will you come my way
You’re all my past desires
Awakened in one dawn
I search for you each day
When will you come my way
Cold are the nights
Long are the days

I won’t see you again
You couldn’t stay no more
With nothing in your pocket
But a number to call
I won’t see you again
I won’t see you again
When you find your destination
Won’t you write me a few of your lines
And maybe I’ll realise
With all this between us
All the hours and the distance
May we see our way through
I’ve been down with the devil
Since you’ve been away
When you’re loose, it’s so easy to stray
And to know what’s right
I’m taking my time
If there’s no cause for disruption
I’m doing fine
It’s just a memory of you
That’s on my mind
I can’t sleep from my dreaming
And these night-time friends that I’ve found
They do me no good
(chorus)
I could cry you a love song
Over mountains and divide
Just to move you a little closer
To me tonight
I’m in purgatory
And folks are staring at me
They say you forget what you leave behind
But I can’t stop reminding myself
Of all those good times
Yeah of all those good times
I won’t see you again
All those good times

Jessie (Me and You)
02:44
|
|||
|
Stumbling in and it’s four in the morning
I guess I’m going to be late again
Every time I think I’ve got it all sorted
I wind up making the same mistakes
Whenever the sky is breaking – breaking up
And it’s me against the world – me and you
Jessie I wish I was back there
Climbing over fences – skipping stones
Just me and you
Nothing turns out the way that you want it
And I don’t care much for this grown-up place
You said we always stay united
And no one could get in our way
And here I am again when the day is dawning
I really shouldn’t be late again
Maybe from today I’ll start looking forward
Instead of making the same mistakes

Split You Open
03:39
|
|||
|
It’s time you cut your cake up
Relax and crack your make-up
You’re forty and a wake up
Should you fall onto the knife
You tell them how you hate me
You want to dislocate me
Get your friends around
And you get them all onside
I wanna split you open wide
I wanna split you open wide
Cos it’d be nice
To know what’s on the inside
Your new decision
Has put you in a prison
There’s no locks or bars
But you can’t get outside
And has your logic failed ya
Just like a shipwrecked sailor
The wind is at your back
But you’re going out with the tide
You tell them all you hate me
You want to relocate me
Why don’t you get your friends around
Get them all onside
To know what’s on the inside
Know what’s on the inside

Further Down the Line
03:27
|

I see further down the line
Way beyond my own time
Once I was a party girl
I would stay up all the night
I had no plan couldn’t see much
Further then the daylight
Now I see further down the line
Way beyond my own time
I see myself in her eyes
I’ll go around now one more time
I see further down the line
She is like the snowdrops melting
(She is like the sun)
On the mountainside
(Warm as the sun)
I’m always running when she’s calling
She’s got me on her ride
(She takes me on)
But don’t try to catch her
(Just don’t try)
She’ll slip through your hands
Little tricks and little secrets
That I understand

Make Some Decision
04:29
|
|||
|
Been going crazy
Baby I been feeling down
My mind’s all messed up
I keep spinnin’ round and round
Make some decision
Make it now
Make some decision
Or get out
Been feeling used up
Like I am in the lost and found
Gotta make my mind up
I’m on a spiral headin’ down
