2.Trust Me

Written:Steven Page/Stephen Duffy

I was surprised at how incredibly fast you were
to come up and ask for a light.
I was amazed at just how matter-of-fact you were
in taking me back for the night.
I only crave the sugar on the pill.
I hope that you will

Chorus:

Trust me,
Trust me to let you down,
You know that somebody got there first.
Trust me,
Trust me to let you down,
My fingers crossed while my lips are pursed.
Trust me,
I don't know where I'm going, you can drop me there.

Don't understand how the roles are reversed
and now it's me that's freaked out by the chase.
The holy trinity are there in your purse;
a condom, Obsession, and mace.
it's easier if I'm on my way.
So anyway you'll

Chorus

I want you. You want me.
I want you not to want me.
I need you to need me.
To leave me
Needing you to leave

Chorus

Trust me,
Trust me to let you down.
Trust me to let you down.
Trust me to let you down.
Trust me to let you down.


3.If I Had A $1,000,000

If I had a $1,000,000
(If I had a $1,000,000)
Well I'd buy you a house
(I would buy you a house)
And if I had a $1,000,000
(If I had a $1,000,000)
I'd buy you furniture for your house
(Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)
And if I had a $1,000,000
(If I had a $1,000,000)
Well I'd buy you a K-Car
(A nice Reliant automobile)
And if I had $1,000,000
I'd buy your love.

If I had a $1,000,000
I'd build a tree fort in our yard
If I had $1,000,000
You could help, it wouldn't be that hard
If I had $1,000,000
Maybe we could put like a little tiny fridge in there somewhere
You know, we could just go up there and hang out
Like open the fridge and stuff
There would already be foods laid out for us
Like little pre-wrapped sausages and things
mmmmmmmm
They have prewrapped sausages but they don't have prewrapped
bacon
Well can you blame em?
Uhh, yeahhhh!

If I had $1,000,000
(If I had $1,000,000)
Well I'd buy you a fur coat
(But not a real fur coat that's cruel)
And if I had $1,000,000
(If I had a $1,000,000)
Well I'd buy you an exotic pet
(Yup like a llama or an emu)
And if I had $1,000,000
(If I had a $1,000,000)
Well I'd buy you John Merrick's remains
(All them crazy elephant bones)
And If I had $1,000,000
I'd buy your love.

If I had a $1,000,000
We wouldn't have to walk to the store
And If I had a $1,000,000
We'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more.
If I had a $1,000,000
We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner
But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we'd just eat more
And buy really expensive ketchups with it
That's right, all the fanciest dijon ketchups
Mmmmmm

If I had $1,000,000
(If I had $1,000,000)
Well I'd buy you a green dress
(But not a real green dress, that's cruel)
And if I had $1,000,000
(If I had $1,000,000)
Well I'd buy you some art
(A Picasso or a Garfunkel)
If I had $1,000,000
(If I had $1,000,000)
Well I'd buy you a monkey
(Haven't you always wanted a monkey?)

If I had $1,000,000
I'd buy your love

If I had $1,000,000, If I had $1,000,000
If I had $1,000,000, If I had $1,000,000
I'd be rich


4.Shoe Box

Lyrics:Steven Page/Ed Robertson
Music:Steven Page

A key in the door, a step on the floor
A note on the table, and a meal in the micro
Note says 'I'm in bed, please make sure that you're fed
if you're taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe
When I'm asleep I dream you move in next week'
I crumple the note and save it to put inside

Chorus:
My shoe box
Shoe box of lies
Shoe box
Shoe box of lies

it's under my bed, it's never been read
it's in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there
From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib
To my latest attempt at pretending I'm someone
Who's not seventeen, doesn't know what you mean
When talk turns to single malts, or stilton, or

Chorus

Did somebody tell you
This is how it's supposed to be?
Or did you just find it
And you don't want any more from me?

Chorus

Was it something I said, or was it something you read
That's making me think that I should never have come here
I can offer you lies, I can tell you good-bye.
I can tell you I'm sorry, But I can't tell you the truth, dear
And what if I could -- would it do any good?
You'll still never get to see the contents of

Chorus

You're so nineteen-ninety
And it's nineteen-ninety-four
Leave this world behind me
'Cause you don't want me anymore.
