Help The Aged

Help The Aged

Help the aged,
One time they were just like you,
Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue.
Help the aged,
Don't just put them in a home,
Can't have much fun when they're all on their own.
Give a hand, if you can,
Try and help them to unwind.
Give them hope and give them comfort
Cos they're running out of time.

In the meantime we try.
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever.
No big deal so give us all a feel.
Funny how it all falls away.
When did you first realise?
It's time you took an older lover baby.
Teach you stuff although he's looking rough.
Funny how it all falls away.

Help the aged
Cos one day you'll be older too -
You might need someone who can pull you through
And if you look very hard
Behind those lines upon their face
You may see where you are headed
And it's such a lonely place.

In the meantime we try.
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever.
No big deal so give us all a feel.
Funny how it all falls away.
When did you first realise?
It's time you took an older lover baby.
Teach you stuff although he's looking rough.
Funny how it all falls away.

You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can't change.
Can't run away from yourself.

In the meantime we try.
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever.
No big deal so give us all a feel.
Funny how it all falls away.
When did you first realise?
It's time you took an older lover baby.
Teach you stuff although he's looking rough.

Funny how it all falls away.
So help the aged

I'm A Man

I'm A Man

Laid here with the advertising sliding past my eyes
Like cartoons from other peoples lives,
I start to wonder what it takes to be a man.
Well I learned to drink
And I learned to smoke
And I learned to tell a drity joke.
If that's all there is then there's no point for me.

So please can I ask just why we're alive?
Cos all that you do seems such a waste of time
And if you hang around too long you'll be a man.
Tell me 'bout it.
Your car can get up to a hundred and ten -
You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
And nothing ever makes no difference to a man.

So you stumble into town and hold your stomach in.
Show them what you've got tho' they've seen everything.
Yeah you're a beauty but they've seen your type before.
You've got no need but still you want,
So go and book that restaurant.
The wine will flow and then you'll just fly away.

So please can I ask just why we're alive?
Cos all that you do seems such a waste of time
And if you hang around too long you'll be a man.
Tell me 'bout it.
Your car can get up to a hundred and ten -
You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
And nothing ever makes no difference to a man.
Nothing ever makes no difference to a man.
That's what I am
The wine will flow and then you'll just fly away.

So please can I ask just why we're alive?
Cos all that you do seems such a waste of time
And if you hang around too long you'll be a man.
Tell me 'bout it.

You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
And nothing ever makes no difference to a man.
Nothing ever makes no difference to a man.
That's what I am

In Many Ways

In Many Ways

Hey
You're treading on my life
You're leaving marks, but that's alright
In a year or so, I'll look back and I'll smile
These things last only for a while
In many ways
This is a waste of time
What will become of it all?
I make you cry
Know you in crowded streets
Not what I wanted at all
Then
What else could I do
Instead of thinking about you?
Pleasure now will justify our love
See, I even call it "love"
In many ways
There's nothing I'd rather do
One kiss makes sense of it all
And what's to come?
Instead of thinking about you?
Pleasure now will justify our love
See, I even call it "love"
In many ways
There's nothing I'd rather do
One kiss makes sense of it all
And what's to come?
Let's just not think about it, it might never happen at all

Joking Aside

Joking Aside

I hate to complain, you know, but then again
I cannot pretend nothing's wrong
Looking at my present situation, the act cannot last for long
Viewed from outside these pursuits I might try
Seem possessed of a certain allure
Now they're no longer a source of mystery my faith in them's more unsure

Now the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really
On my mind
Yes I'd like to turn you over
To see what's on your other side
To see if the problem's
In my mind
In my mind

The choice is quite clear, to move on or stay here
Decision is harder to take
Reject what I have for something unstable could easily be a mistake
So I walk round the place with a smile on my face
Pretending the best that I can
Hoping to lose the inclination to desire what I can't understand

And the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really
On my mind
Yes I'd like to turn you over
To see what's on your other side
To see if the problem's
In my mind
In my mind
Lalalalala lalalalala...

Now the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really
On my mind
Yes I'd like to turn you over
To see what's on your other side
Like to turn it over
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
Lalalalala lalalalala...

Now the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really
On my mind
Yes I'd like to turn you over
To see what's on your other side
Like to turn it over
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind

Ladies' Man

Ladies' Man

Now let's sit down too, 'cos I'm a ladies man
I've got my work cut out, I'm doing what I can
So hold me, touch me, thrill me, don't ever let me go
Don't ask me to explain it 'cos you don't wanna know
Oh

Just for the surfaces I feel

Come on and hold me, hold me, hold me
Yeah yeah yeah

I don't want to be me, I get so tired of (?)
So don't ask any questions and I won't tell no lies
Stop moving like some housewife and give yourself tonight

Laughing Boy

Laughing Boy

If you stay out all nite that's alright by me
But if you must kiss those guys you could at least clean your teeth
I don't mean to put you down
But you've taken everything that I own
Don't tell me you want some more 'cos I'm closed
Who is this laughing boy who ladders your tights?
Please tell him to cut the noise
'cos it's spoiling my nites
I just want to get some rest
And he's talking to his Ma on the phone
Well, if he's so homesick he can go home
I don't need this anymore
And it's written in the stars I must go
And will I come back for more?
I don't know
Well, if he's so homesick he can go home
I don't need this anymore
And it's written in the stars I must go
And will I come back for more?
I don't know
I don't know

Life Must Be So Wonderful

Life Must Be So Wonderful

Life must be so wonderful, living here on your own,
Please call
Around to see.
And maybe I've been loving you for too long,
And now blind,
I watch you bleed.
You rot in your bedroom, you cry on the phone.
Well I'm sorry
But he's not at home.
You give me your secrets, you give me your heart
And I smile whilst you fall apart.

Oh no,
Please not now,
Can't you see there's no time?
No, I haven't the time.
Can't you see there's no time?
Oh-oh,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
Oh-oh,
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...

Now all our dreams melt
In the sun,
And visions
Dwindle
One by one by one.
Perhaps you should move somewhere
Far away,
To another town
Where maybe they
Could see things in your way.
It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be hard.
I smile whilst you fall apart.
You're sorry, you're sorry, is all that you say.
Well,
I'd stop it, but I can't find a way.
Your life must be so wonderful,
Your visions die and fall.
And in the end,
Nothing ends,
Just grows fainter
And farther
To another town
Where maybe they
Could see things in your way.
It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be hard.
I smile whilst you fall apart.
You're sorry, you're sorry, is all that you say.
Well,
I'd stop it, but I can't find a way.
Your life must be so wonderful,
Your visions die and fall.
And in the end,
Nothing ends,
Just grows fainter
And farther
Away

Like A Friend

Like A Friend

Don't bother saying you're sorry.
Why don't you come in?
Smoke all my cigarettes - againe.
Every time I get no further.
How long has it been?
Come on in now,
Wipe your feet on my dreams.

You take up my time,
Like some cheap magazine,
When I could have been learning something.
Oh well, you know what I mean.

I've done this before.
And I will do it again.
Come on and kill me baby,
While you smile like a friend.
And I'll come running,
Just to do it again.

You are the last drink I never should drunk.
You are the body hidden in the trunk.
You are the habit I can't seem to kick.
You are my secrets on the front page every week.
You are the car I never should have bought.
You are the train I never should have caught.
You are the cut that makes me hide my face.
You are the party that makes me feel my age.

Like a car crash I can see but I just can't avoid.
Like a plane I've been told I never should board.
Like a film that's so bad but I've gotta stay til the end.
Let me tell you now,
You are the habit I can't seem to kick.
You are my secrets on the front page every week.
You are the car I never should have bought.
You are the train I never should have caught.
You are the cut that makes me hide my face.
You are the party that makes me feel my age.

Like a car crash I can see but I just can't avoid.
Like a plane I've been told I never should board.
Like a film that's so bad but I've gotta stay til the end.
Let me tell you now,
It's lucky for you that we're friends

Lipgloss

Lipgloss

No wonder you're looking thin,
When all that you live on is lipgloss and cigarettes.
And scraps at the end of the day when he's given the rest,
To someone with long black hair.
All those nights up making such a mess of the bed.
Oh you never ever want to go home.
And he wants you so you may as well hang around for a while,
Call your dad on the phone.

He changed his mind last Monday,
So you've gotta leave by Sunday, yeah.
You've lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah.
Now nothing you do can turn him on,
There's something wrong.
You had it once but now it's gone.

And you feel such a fool,
For laughing at bad jokes,
And putting up with all of his friends,
And kissing in public.
What are they gonna say when they run into you again?
That your stomach looks bigger and your hair is a mess,
And your eyes are just holes in your face.
And it rains every day,
And when it doesn't,
The sun makes you feel worse anyway.

He changed his mind last Monday,
Now you've gotta leave by Sunday, yeah.
You've lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah.
Now nothing you do can turn him on,
There's something wrong.
You had it once but now it's gone.

Though you knew,
There was no way it was gonna last for ever,
It still shook you,
When he told you in a letter,
That he didn't wanna see you.
You nearly lost your mind, Oh yeah.

You've lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah.
Now nothing you do can turn him on,
There's something wrong.
You had it once but now it's gone, Oh yeah.

Little Girl

Little Girl

You're just a
Little girl (with blue eyes)
Everybody looks at you
(well, it's your day)
And you're
Stepping from the black car
But you'll be getting back in soon
(and on your way)
Little girl (with blue eyes)
There's a hole in your heart
And one between your legs
You've never had to wonder
Which one he's going to fill
In spite of what he said
You'll never get away
Hey
You'll give it up one day
Come what may
Dad's not got a shot-gun
But his look's enough to murder you
(see what you've done)
And forget about the paintings
Cos you'd better get the washing done
(oh something's wrong)
Little girl (with blue eyes)
There's a hole in your heart
And one between your legs
You've never had to wonder
Which one he's going to fill
In spite of what he said
You'll never get away
Hey
You'll give it up one day
Come what may
Face down on the pavement
Chalk lines round your little hands
(hit and run)
And now a
Mother sits in silence
In a darkness she can't understand
(where you've gone)
Oh
Little girl (with blue eyes)
There's a hole in your heart
And one between your legs
You've never had to wonder
Which one he's going to fill
In spite of what he said
You'll never get away
Hey
You'll give it up one day
Come what may.
