What does it mean to own these things?
What does it mean to get this far?
Why do you feel so empty when your life is so full?
How did you forge these chains around you?
You walked with ease now they surround you.
You don’t have to carry this burden alone.

And it isn’t easy I know you wanted more from this life.
And it isn’t easy, oh no, when what’s left is a lie.
You taste this sugar but it isn’t sweet.
You found the strength to admit defeat.  Read More »

I Sleep With The Radio On
I Sleep With The Radio On
I Sleep With The Radio On

i have freedom of movement
and you can’t stand it
the grace you long for
i take for granted

envy, envy

tonight, tonight
i am your envy
you watch, you watch me
sleeping serenely

envy, envy

tonight, no-one else can see us and i have to try have to be you

fingers brush over
pretend to be sleeping
i move away
leave you to envy

sometimes i think i’m going crazy
i wax and i wax but there’s no luster
i’ve seen you before
never knew it was a hurtful thing

sometimes i think i’m singing too loudly
people stare at me and give me money
be bop a doop
deepum deepum deepum deepum doot

i’ve got to let you go
i’ve got to let you go
i’ve got to let you go
i’ve got to let you go

sometimes i think it runs in my family
wednesday is prince spaghetti day  Read More »

i’m the one you that they talk about
the one who is not welcome
i have walked the earth
always a stranger
but i know where i belong

i’m the one that you were warned about
the one they say has failed them
they would keep me down
they believe they can
but i believe i’m going home

no one can stop me
i’m not afraid to fall
i have seen what’s left and what’s right
i have seen it all
and i believe i’m going home

i believe i’m going home  Read More »

in another minute the lights go down
candles and incense surround, surround
missed my connection the last time round
push me to the ground, push me to the ground

i’m a hollow tom
my skin waits for your touch
i hope it’s not too much to ask
beat me

i am a worthy adversary
i will put up a fight
but it would be a   ∑lright if you’d
beat me

everybody serves a master
it says so, it says so in the book
i know that it’s killing me me  Read More »

There is no safe, and there is no consolation
Is no safe; can’t depend upon you    r ration
And anyway, in this world, there is no safe.

Don’t depend on the sure thing, ‘cause you know
You can’t say if he’ll stay or if he’ll go
And anyway, in this world, there is no safe.

I’m afraid that he’ll laugh and run away
And I’m afraid of what other people say
And anyway, in this world, there is no safe.

Put your arms around another
When he goes, he goes  Read More »

He’s a sexy man
He sit sexy way
Has a sexy walk
Has a sexy day

Everybody
Stop and stare
Man or woman
He don’t care

Radiant

Lives on sexy street
Has a sexy beat
Good enough to eat
Can’t take the heat

Radiant

I don’t know what it is about me
People are just drawn to me
Even when I’m bad for them
They can’t seem to help themselves
I don’t know what it is about me

i woke up today
the sun is hiding
i’m all out of cash
but i am smiling
happy
i feel so happy

the world didn’t end
yeah, i’m still living
breathing the air
it’s so forgiving
happy
i feel so happy

close your eyes and count to ten
if you’re unhappy
sing this song inside your head
if you’re unhappy

happy

i’m driving my car
and singing this song
i’m all alone
it’s kind of funny

i’ll go to the beach  Read More »
