Your Skin
Your skin, so fresh, so free from blame
So soft, so pure, I feel ashamed
When it transfixes me again
You know i have to stay
My aching bones, my limbs of clay
My eyes feel sore, my brain feels grey
But you can keep the pain at bay
And that's all I can ask for
Kiss my aching bones again
Each twisted muscle, every sprain
Kisses take away the pain
If only for a moment
Have I been alive too long
Or am I just doing it all wrong?
Could I feel as if I belong
And would I like it if I did?
I don't know how I got this way
But you can keep the ache away
You can make me feel okay
And that's all I can ask for
That's all I can ask for
Your skin keeps my decay at bay
Your skin keeps my decay at bay
Your skin keeps my decay at bay
And that's all I can ask for
Your skin keeps my decay at bay
And that's all I can ask for

Oranges
I've come a hundred miles to see you for the last time
Surprised that when I see you, still reminds me of the first time
And I should be being sombre now that we're at the end
But all I want to do right now's compare my notes with your best friend
Because all that talk about forever was always yours anyhow
And I didn't believe you then so I'm not exactly startled now
And perhaps I should stand up and tell you how it doesn't have to be
But I'm feeling kind of tired and anyway it seems to me
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
So here we are once more, taking up your precious time
All those things you could be doing, better options on your mind
So I coax you through the motions, continuing what we've both begun
It wasn't meant to be hard work but these days no one has much fun
And sure he's got the background and, yes, he's got the grace
But tomorrow you'll be yearning for oranges thrown at your face
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
Count the rings around my eyes, that's one for every scene
Guess I keep on taking it because that's the way it's always been
And you can talk about the pleasures that blossom from this pain
But life's too short to reinvent the wheel time and time again
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more
You're not worth fighting any more

Blood On Your Hands
Start spreading the news
You're leaving tonight
You talked it so good
But now nothing is right
There's a shake in your voice
You say you only just learned
How someone was pushed
While your back was turned
There's blood on your hands
There's blood on your hands
And your prints on the wall
And your alibi
It means nothing at all
Because these things can be bought
If you pay the right price
But to the jury you're facing today
Such forays cut no ice
You're packing your bag
Figure it out
It's time to be moving out
Get out of our life and take her with you
Get out of our life and take her with you
So you're packing your bags
Catching the last train
The circle is closing in
And they've figured your name
Soon the bad dreams will stop
You'll sleep soundly again
A new order is here
And no one will complain
Figure it out
It's time to be moving out
Get out of our life and take her with you
Get out of our life and take her with you

Never Leave Your Lover In The Summer
I don't need to take a tablet
To feel close to you
We're already there
We're already there
But hasn't it become a habit
I can feel too close to you
Too close to bear
It can feel too close to bear
And when we say the same words at the same time
Doesn't beguile anymore
Or make me smile anymore
I just crave fresh conversation
And these days I find your vague suggestions
They beg the question
Hearing only hesitation
But with a pot of fresh coffee, newspapers in the sun
Nothing can be so bad, nothing can be so bad
See what a boost to serotonin's done
Nothing can be so bad, nothing can be so bad
Oh you should never leave your lover in the summer
I couldn't struggle through this heat unaided
Even if I keep you at an arm's length
Till the first frost comes we won't be separated
But with a pot of fresh coffee, newspapers in the sun
Nothing can be so bad, nothing can be so bad
See what a boost to serotonin's done
Nothing can be so bad, nothing can be so bad

Monstrous Lies
I’m in the business of telling monstrous lies
I’ll rewrite recent history before your eyes
Before resorting to the truth I’ll have numerous tries
And stretching credibility to fabricate incessantly
I’m in the business of telling monstrous lies
Nothing I say should come as a surprise
And how long will it be before you realise
That there’s no way that I’ll reveal
What’s real if I can just conceal
Even the minutest details
And yet in honest moments I know
What it all comes down to is I believe everything you say
What it all comes down to is I believe everything you say
I’m in the business of telling monstrous lies
Flirting with disaster, I can still hear their cries
While my deceitful ways brought me first prize
So now I’ve confessed it may come as a surprise
But I’d never suspect that you ever told me lies
And I’d be outraged if I thought otherwise
I have to believe all I see
I want to trust you totally
Yes, I need the security
That in my darkest moments I know
What it all comes down to is I believe everything you say
What it all comes down to is I believe everything you say

Perverted Pleasure
I know it’s not my business
But does he treat you well?
Because the way you are these days
You know it’s hard to tell
You just make dark suggestions
Then slip away to confession
Your Catholic guilt has the better of you
Affects the way you feel but not what you do
It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
I just want to hear it in your own words
And when did you last laugh?
I think it’s quite a while
You’re a ghost of your former self
I miss the way you used to smile
And does his passion compensate
For always feeling so third rate?
Can you tell me what he does
That gives you such a mighty buzz?
It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
I just want to hear it in your own words
It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
It’s not a perverted pleasure
I just want to hear it from your own lips
It’s not a perverted pleasure
I don’t mean to pry
It’s not a perverted pleasure
But if he’s making you cry
It’s not a perverted pleasure
So if you'd just try ...
I just want to hear it in your own words
I just want to hear from your own lips
I just want to hear from your own lips
From your lips, from your lips
Your lips, your lips, your lips, your lips

Harm
Hello, I’m your greatest fan
I’m glad to be your friend
I’ll lay my life down in your name
Defend you till the end
But please don’t be misguided
By my loyalty and charm
Because you’ve got something that I want
And I mean you harm
It’s not that I am jealous
Or unhappy with my lot
Maybe I’m a collector
Trying to fill a slot
So that’s why I tread lightly
I don’t want to cause alarm
But you are just a stepping stone
And I mean you harm
With half as big a head and twice as big a brain
My actions wouldn’t surprise you
But still you keep on trusting me
And making me despise you
Now it might seem disloyal
To treat you as I do
To go on in this manner
And still face up to you
But I’m the prince of the poker face
The king of keeping calm
And what you’ve got is what I want
And I mean you harm
With half as big a head and twice as big a brain
My actions wouldn’t surprise you
But still you keep on trusting me
And making me despise you
But you won’t be aware of my campaign
I wouldn’t want to annoy you
No I won’t interfere with your routine
As I set out to destroy you
Yes I’m the prince of the poker face
The king of keeping calm
And what you’ve got is what I want
And I mean you harm

Soulmate
Sometimes you treat me as if I’m your mother
But I never feel that I’m your boss
Because when you get that mad fixed stare
I’m like some irritating bug
Too big for you to squash
You only go, you only go
As far as you far as you have to
He only knows, he only knows
As much as he has to
And me, I’m plastic elastic
When you say: let’s go dancing in the woods
You’re bulldozing your way through tomorrow’s guilt
So far you’ve always come up with the goods
You only go, you only go
As far as you far as you have to
He only knows, he only knows
As much as he has to
Some people, they have to know everything
And they still won’t make up their mind
Some people, you tell them everything
And it drives them out of their minds
Breaking my back for you
You never asked me to
Giving my life to you
What else was there to do?
Soulmate, won’t you be my soulmate
Soulmate, won’t you be my soulmate
Soulmate, won’t you be my soulmate
Soulmate, won’t you be my soulmate
Breaking my back for you
You never asked me to
Giving my life to you
What else was there to do?

The Distance Between Us
In the space between you and me
There are only twelve minutes between us
In the time it takes to drive from here to home
I could lose everything there ever was between us
You can’t mistrust everyone
You don’t want to be watching all the time
So where does trusting end and neglect begin?
Seems you were right all the time
Some feelings fade
But these ones vanished overnight
I’m just the driver, I’ll drive you till the morning
I’m still waiting for it to turn light
And in the night time in the place where you used to be
There are a dozen screaming harpies chasing after me
I turn the music up to chase them from my head
They just scream louder
Oh, please don’t make me go to bed
You can’t mistrust everyone
You don’t want to be watching all the time
So where does trusting end and neglect begin?
Seems you were right all the time
And I was wrong
Wake up, enjoy seven blissful seconds
Before you remember that you’re on your own
Is this the day you dare to dip your toes in?
Or are you going to stay shut away another day?
How can I stand another day?
You can’t mistrust everyone
You don’t want to be watching all the time
So where does trusting end and neglect begin?
Seems you were right all the time
And I was wrong

Sleepyhead
Hey hey hey, sleepyhead
Does life hurt so much you can't leave your bed?
Why don't you seize the day instead?
What's out there that inspires such dread?
You'd rather sleep for a hundred years
Sleep till that handsome prince appears
These young pretenders who beat down your door
They don't understand what a bed is for
Early to bed and late to rise
The world seems gentler when you shut your eyes
Asleep in the corner is where you belong
Dozing through life because life's too long
Hey hey hey, spliffy head
Block out the little day you have left
Does life hurt so much you can't bear to be
Exposed to untempered reality?
A schoolgirl takes a short-cut home
She's going to lose that will to roam
Does life hurt so much you can't be around
Unless the world's in soft focus, the sound turned down?
Early to bed and late to rise
The world seems gentler when you shut your eyes
Block out the memories, block out the screams
And hope you don't remember your dreams

Penicillin V
More soup or I’m going to waste away
You see I can’t swallow my food
My head’s so hot I can’t focus my brain
Or lighten up my mood
I’m in a sports car
Letting rip through roads with hidden bends
I’m on the waltzer
Spinning fast on rides that never end
And is it you who’s making me
Feel this bad?
Can it really be you who’s making me
Feel this bad?
Is it down to you that I should
Feel this bad?
Or will I be alright with a course of penicillin V?
A course of penicillin V
Seems these days I’m on the periphery
Lost puppy, trailing round
I feel I’ve missed the point completely
Still standing when you’ve all gone to ground
A hammer to knock my brains out
A saw to sever nerves
A chisel to change my features
Sandblast them all to curves
I can’t believe it’s you who’s making me
Feel this bad
I was never so gone you could
Make me feel this bad
It can’t be down to you that I should
Feel this bad
I know I’ll be alright with a shot
Of penicillin V
A shot of penicillin V
Mix me a nostrum for each cough and sneeze
There’s nothing a strong dose of tablets won’t ease
I thought it was losing you made me feel poor
But it’s only a bug and I’m taking the cure

Right Side Of The River
Home is anywhere that I decide it's going to be
Right now a small provincial town
Could be the perfect place for me
Somewhere ...
Ambition’s just a symptom of somebody’s insecurity
I know I can stay content just give me the right territory
Somewhere that I can learn the names
To all the faces in a week
Not drown in the banality
Of some aimless suburban clique
I can’t recall
How I lost it all
I just love the sound
As it all rebounds
Home is anywhere that I decide it’s going to be
Right now a small provincial town
Could be the perfect place for me
Welcome them and nurture them
Till the end I’ll see it through
But now it’s you who’s calling me
Cos you know I‘m part of you
I can’t recall
How I lost it all
I just love the sound
As it all rebounds
Stay on the right side of the river
Stay on the right side of the town
Stay on the right side of the river
Stay on the right side of me
