Our Last Song
04:11
|
|||
Found it living on my telephone
Your voice and our last song
So in love so full of hope
Before you stopped laughing at my jokes
I can finally say I'll make it ok with you not there, not there
Everyone stares I'm cutting my hair with you not there
Not there
There's medication in my old head phones
Infinite doses of our last song
Each time I listen I gain hope
From this perfect dream we won't wake up
You belong, you belong
I can finally say I'll make it ok with you not there, not there
Everyone scared I'm jumping off chairs with you not there
Not there
I can finally say I'll make it ok with you not there, not there
Everyone stares I'm cutting my hair with you not there
Not there
Oh the lies we tell, just so we can go on
Oh the lies we tell, just so we can go on
I can finally say I'll make it ok with you not there, not there
Everyone scared I'm jumping off chairs with you not there
Not there
I can finally say I'll make it ok with you not there, not there
Everyone stares I'm cutting my hair with you not there
Not there

I Miss the 80s
03:49
|
|||
I fell in love when I was three
With a girl that I knew from the movies
I’d tag along with my big sister
But I was too young for her next moving picture
That was in the time of my life
That was in the 80’s
We were dancing just like Swayze
To wake me up before you go go
Oh how I miss the 80’s
But I’m too young to really know
In ‘92 she made a change
Sculpted plastic all into her face
Then my love disappeared
I haven’t seen her in 20 odd years
That was in the time when I cried
Cuz love was just a memory
MacGyver and the A-Team
But the Cosby’s had my favourite show
Oh how I missed the 80’s
I'm too young to really know
Where’s Cyndi Lauper Lately
And Molly Ringwald where’d she go go?
Oh how I miss the 80’s
I don’t know cuz I’m too young
Too young, to know (to young to know)
Too young, to know (to young to know
I’ll find my way to yours, I’ll find my way to yours, I’ll find my way to your heart
We were dancing just like Swayze
When Jennifer Grey had a nose
Oh how I missed the 80’s
I’m too young to really know
Too young, to know

Granville Bridge
03:14
|
|||
Oh on Granville Bridge one night such a barefoot delight
Holding hands and counting stars to the whistle of the passing cars
I was falling so in love with you
You were trying hard not to
We’ll find our place together, our home
With sand and sun forever, our home
Let’s move up on Miami Beach, we’ll do everything you’ve ever dreamed
Just put it on your credit card, I can pay it off when I hit the charts
Maybe you could fall in love with me
I will try to follow your lead
Things have never been the same since you went away, since you went away
Sky and earth have turned to grey since you went away, since you went away
Every corner every street is a memory that you ran away
I chased and chased and chased and chased since you ran away. Why’d you run away?
Oh on Granville Bridge one night such a barefoot delight
Holding hands and counting stars at the whistle of the passing cars
We talked until the sunrise lit up and closed our eyes
With your head upon my chest, tried to make the moment last
I’m so in love with you, I’m so in love with you
We’ll find our place together…

Sweet Little Fantasy
04:36
|
|||
Why aren't we
Why aren't we meant to be
My sweet little fantasy
You run but you never leave
How you look at me
How the air I breathe
The tickles and the tingling
But my telephone never rings
You want my friendship but I want more
I don't know why I can't let go
How am I only a joke to you
You just laugh at the things I do
To tell you my love is true
And if you, need not my hand to hold
You'd rather just die alone
Just think of all those nights I held you
You want my friendship but I want more
I don't know why I can't let go
I'd love to tell you how much I do care
Would anything change if I even dared to
And chances are we're not meant for eachother
But you'll never know cuz you won't bother to find out
You say you love me how you joke
If love was a stock then we'd all be broke
I'd love to tell you how much I do care
Would anything change if I even dared to
You want my friendship but I want more
I don't know why I can't let go
I'd love to tell you how much I do care
Would anything change if I even dared to

Those Eyes
03:09
|
|||
When did you become so loved?
You’re just a girl back in grade 9
That no one cared to get to know of
So I thought I would find out why
So I sat next to you in class
Oh how I fell in love so fast
With those eyes those eyes those eyes
Ain’t it funny how all it takes is a question?
Something simple like how you’ve been doing
And after a week, I felt myself in deep
From daydreams to my sleep and in and out of me
Were those eyes, those eyes, those eyes
I love those eyes, those eyes those eyes
I love your eyes your eyes your eyes
I love your eyes your eyes your eyes
I remember our first phone call
I was rude, I said something like so what you want?
And you said “it’s nothing big I just called to talk”
And we sat on our front steps and we carried on
About those eyes, those eyes, those eyes
I love those eyes, those eyes those eyes
I love your eyes your eyes your eyes
I love your eyes your eyes your eyes

So Long
03:53
|
|||
So long
It’s been so long since we
So long
And you ask for direction
On how to win my affection
I’d love to tell you I’d love to tell you how
We used to be great but it’s a little too late for love
I still see those eyes and how they take me back
To when I thought I was your only darling
I won’t hold you close and take you like you think I would do
I’ve found better without you
So long
It’s been so long since we
So long
You know right from wrong
You never leave a baby never leave a baby alone
Every June 11, you keep buying those presents
You can’t believe your baby, can’t believe your baby is gone
I still see those eyes and God they take me back
To when I thought I was your only darling
I won’t hold you close and take you like you think I would do
I’ve found better without you

Saddest Thing
03:13
|
|||
The saddest thing that you've never seen
Mother knelt before
As the colour leaves and a body freezes
It's Just a vacant form of you
We’re helpless til the neighbours come
Too late...too late
I can’t see, I can’t breathe
I’m tearing at the seams
Mother please, off your knees
There’s no one here but me
And they call us up until I have to disconnect the phone
They’re only looking out for me yes they’re looking out for me again
And I think I know it well till mother up and does the same
She was looking out for me, she was looking out for me again
I can’t see, I can’t breathe
I’m tearing at the seams
Mother please, off your knees
There’s no one here but me
Father leaves, children grieve
I'm tearing at the seams

Hammer in My Hand
03:19
|
|||
With a hammer in my hand
The shards of your heart are a puzzle in the dark
But I can rebuild you
When a mermaid tramples our sand castle
I can rebuild you
With a hammer in my hand, I can glue it but I’ll always see the crack
With a hammer in my hand, I can’t love you with a hammer in my hand
So
Let go, let go, let it go oh oh
Let go, let go, let it go oh oh
Of the hammer in my hand
“What do you mean? I’m not your man no more” (no more no more)
She packed a bag of her things, and dropped the keys to my door
But I know she’ll pick it up again, pick it up again
I know she’ll pick it up again, pick it up again
And don’t
Let go, let go, let it go oh oh
Let go, let go, let it go oh oh
Of the hammer in my hand
Which side of hell? Which side of hell, did your arms break and lungs cave in?
Which side of hell? Which side of hell, Has the longest, longest days
The sight of her, the sight of her makes my heart break and lungs cave in?
The sight of her, the sight of her
So
Let go, let go, let it go oh oh (cuz i can rebuild you, you know i can rebuild you)
Let go, let go, let it go oh oh (cuz i can rebuild you, you know i can rebuild you)
Of the hammer in my hand

Hermit in the Park
02:15
|
|||
You find me in here wishing I had more,
Than this little bear to hold
And the sheets don’t keep me warm
You tell me that I best be on my way
It’s far too sunny of a day
To sit here feeling grey
The outside seems, I’d fall in love with the birds and the trees
But they fly away and they lose their leaves
And everything that I’d hope we’d be
Just makes me crazy
I saw you in the park the other day
With a smile I’d never seen
And a man that wasn’t me
You told me that you best be moving on
As you held onto his arm
You never said so long….
On the outside you seemed
Awful happy, but what’s underneath?
I still miss you don’t you still miss me
And everything that I hoped we’d be
Just makes me crazy,
Makes me crazy
Makes me crazy
But I’m not crazy

You Can't Leave Me
03:50
|
|||
At the calm before the storm
I opened up your heart
With a surgery of sound
We were found, we were found
There were all the friends we’d lost
And the lovers that we'd crossed
And the choices that we'd made, replayed
And we were saved
You can’t leave me, you can’t leave me
This part is rather deceiving
There will be weeping there will be grieving
I’ll always stay in your heart
You try to forget the lessons we learned
You send me pictures that you’d like to burn
And we make plans but you never come
I pretend you did with cocaine and rum
All the pain, you feel every day
You found a way you claim you fucked it away
I’m not convinced, I’m really not sold
Cuz there’s a pain inside that will never go go go
You can’t leave me, you can’t leave me
I’ll have you nailed to the ceiling
There will be weeping, there will be grieving
But you will stay in my heart
You can’t leave me, you can’t leave
This part is rather deceiving
There will be weeping, there will be grieving
But you will stay in, you'll always stay in my heart

Mother's Day
04:10
|
|||
You never know what you have until it’s gone, and it’s gone
I heard you found your new love
Older and wiser and more clean cut
I hope to god that he knows
You’re the queen and he should do as he’s told
I hope he worships the ground you walk on
Kneels down and kisses your toes
But when he don’t….
You remember what you meant to say to me on Mother’s day
You ain’t ever gonna find a baby as good as me
When you remember what you meant to say to me it’s too late
When you replace me what I’d like to know how it get’s
Better, better, better, better, better
When you replace me what I’d like to know how it get’s
Better, better, better, better, better
Cuz you never know what you have until it’s gone
And it’s gone
Some nights I wake up missing you
Somewhere between about 1 and half past 2
Some nights I feel like being used
So I call every girl I know, to fill the hole
You remember what you meant to say to me it’s mother’s day
You ain’t ever gonna find a baby as good as me
When you remember what you meant to say to me it’s too late
Too, too, too, too late to
When you replace me what I’d like to know how it get’s
Better, better, better, better, better
When you replace me what I’d like to know how it get’s
Better, better, better, better, better
With you not around, I’m gonna be fine with it, fine with it
But I might be wrong, I might be wrong,
Cuz you never know what you have until it’s gone
You remember what you meant to say to me it’s mother’s day
You ain’t ever gonna find a baby as good as me
When you replace me what I’d like to know how it get’s
Better, better, better, better, better
When you replace me what I’d like to know how it get’s
Better, better, better, better, better
Cuz you never know what you have until it’s gone
It’s gone.
