"No Backbone"

"No Backbone"


It's dawned on me again
I can't balance in betweens
It's no longer familiar to me
It's become routine

The bedroom ritual
A simple way to feel
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, ever being shown
Back in the bedroom no backbone

Standards I'd kept, in the back of my mind
Are now just rules to break from time to time
I'm way past worrying about it gettin' a hold on me
I realise I ride on it's back for free

The bedroom ritual
A simple way to feel
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, ever being shown
Back in the bedroom no backbone

Addictively I'll stick to the safety of the script
But I know I'll end up settling for a less than perfect fit

The bedroom ritual
A simple way to feel
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, ever being shown
Back in the bedroom no backbone
Back in the bedroom no backbone
Back in the bedroom no backbone

"Nothing True"

"Nothing True"


It's not me, this disease
It's not you, that's not true
It's our fault, me and you
Most of all, you're not you
I dream of you, it's nothing new
I dream of you, it's nothing true
It's not you, that's not true
It's our fault, me and you
Most of all, you're not you
You're nothing new
You're nothing true
I dream of you, it's nothing you

"One More Time"

"One More Time"


One more time baby, one more time
You're thinking of me baby, one more time

One more time baby, one more time
You were above me baby, one more time

One more time baby, one more time
Do you have to say you love me baby, one more time
One more time baby, one more time
One more time
One more time.

"Out"

"Out"


Diggin' deeper in the sand, now the water comes up.
Cut my finger on the years oh, years oh.
What can you do? I'll remember you.
He waits for you behind the years oh, years oh.
Let it go.
Diggin' deeper in the sand, now the water comes up.
Cut my finger on the years oh, years oh.
What can you do? I'll remember you.
He waits for you behind the years oh, years oh.
Your certainty turns to doubt and you start flippin' out,
and you ease on out.

"Outdoor Type"

"Outdoor Type"


Always had a roof above me
Always paid the rent
But I never set foot inside a tent
I couldn't build fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type
I never slept out underneath the stars
The closest that I came to that
Was one time my car broke down for an hour
In the suburbs at night
I lied about being the outdoor type
Too scared to let you know
You knew what you were looking for
I lied until I fit the bill
God bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never owned a sleeping bag
Let alone a mountain bike
I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
What if something's on tv, and it's never shown again?
Just is well I'm not invited
I'm afraid of heights
I lied about being the outdoor type
Never learned to swim
Can't grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type

"Paid To Smile"

"Paid To Smile"


Could you see your way clear?
And arrange your eyes away from mine
Sorry, I'm here
But you get paid, get paid to lie
You get paid to smile

Would you really say, hello?
And let me carry my own guitar
And please don't hold the door
I can work the handle on any car
It's really not that hard

Smile, paid to smile
Smile, paid to smile
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

The cigarette girl took off her tray
And dropped her dress in a shiny pile
Pulled her pants up on her way
When she gets home, she'll laugh a while
She gets paid to smile

Smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile

"Paint It Black"

"Paint It Black"


wont you let me walk you home from school
wont you let me meet you by the pool
maybe friday I can get tickets for the band
and I'll take you
ooh ooh oh oooh
wont you tell your dad to get off my back
tell him what we said 'bout paint it black
rock'n roll is here to stay
come inside now - its ok
and I'll shake you
ooh ooh oh oooh
wont you tell me what you're thinking of?
would you be an outlaw for my love?
if its no then I can go
if its yes then let me know
I wont make you
ooh ooh oh oooh

"Pittsburgh"

"Pittsburgh"


With a little bit of common sense
You can lose a lot of innocence, in this world
You can leave yourself behind
In the middle of coincidence
See the world in the present tense
Oh mother, your kids are so inclined
Sarah said it's sorta personal
I don't know it's kind of hard to tell, with this girl
She'll just take up all your time
Fading in and out of consciousness
With a fair degree of common sense, on your mind
Just watch it all unwind
The voices low
Slow down
Bounce around
Bounce around
The voices low
Slow down
Jesus Christ and motherfuck
The things I do to push my luck
I don't know, I don't even seem to mind
With a pouch of myrrh and frankincense
And a walk across the desert sands
You might find, your baby Frankenstein
The voices low
Slow down, slow down
Bounce around
Bounce around
The voices low, voices low
Slow down

"Plaster Caster"

"Plaster Caster"


Baby's getting anxious, the hour's getting late
The night is almost over, she can't wait
Oh, things are complicating, my love is in her hands
And there's no more waiting, she understands

The plaster's gettin' harder, and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection, her collection

Plaster caster, grab a hold of me faster
And if you wanna see my love, just ask her
And my love is the plaster, and yeah she's the collector
She wants me all the time to inject her

Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
And if you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her, ask her

The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection, her collection

Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
If you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her

Plaster caster, plaster caster
She wants my love to last her, last her, last her
And she calls me by the name of master, master

Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
If you wanna see my love, just ask her

"Postcard"

"Postcard"


Once I thought I was more right than wrong,
Painting myself in the corner.
What I bought and why it takes so long,
Something inside of her warned her.

I know that it doesn't matter much
But I hope we'll, keep in touch.
I know that we won't go on as such
But I hope we'll, keep in touch.
Could it be that hard,
To send you a postcard?

Fragile smile, a ragged sleeve,
Didn't laugh once to often.
