The Bravery Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.An Honest Mistake (Stir The Blood Remix)

People
They don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud

My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake


2.The Spectator...

Lyricist:Samuel Bingham Endicott

The birds are up when he collapses through her door
Spilling out in constellations on her floor
Soaked in liquor he is soft as bread
And everything that's left in him to beg her to his bed

He is a nocturnal always alone
They all speak in secret codes that he has never known
In this world but not of it, so he watches from above it
A visitor here, this is not home

I am the spectator, I can see the world passing by from here
I am just a child to a man, back to the dust where I began
I was never even here at all
I am the spectator, I am the spectator

His eyes like two cats scratching in his head
Begging him for sleep starving for a bed
But sleep it never comes so he ticks the time away
Hour after hour hear them play

The bells go
Chime, chime, chime
Ticking, ticking time
Chime, chime, chime
Ticking, ticking time

I am the spectator, I can see the world passing by from here
And I am just a child to a man, back to the dust where I began
I was never even here at all
I am the spectator, I am the spectator
I am the spectator

And the bells go
Chime, chime, chime
Ticking, ticking time
Chime, chime, chime
Ticking, ticking time

Chime, chime, chime
Ticking, ticking time
Chime, chime, chime
Ticking, ticking time

I am the spectator, I can see the world passing by from here
And I am just a child to a man, back to the dust where I began
I was never even here at all
I am the spectator, I am the spectator
I am the spectator, I am the spectator


3.An Honest Mistake

Lyricist:Sam Endicott

People they don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath

But sometimes I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know

My old friend
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud

My old friend
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Oh oh oh

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake


4.No Breaks

No braked this time
I slit the line
But if you want me, it's cool
You can take me for a fool
I could slow down if you want me to
But just for you

Carry me home, put me to bed
Leave me alone, it's all in my head
OUt of my hands, over the wheel
My only chance, my only appeal
What if you're here to save me form this?
If I disappear wil I be missed?
I never know what I should do
Can I leave it up to you?

No breaks, it's true
No breaks, just you
Something to move me instead
of this Rolodex in my head
I never meant anything I said
When I see red, I see red, I see red


5.Honest Mistake

People,
They don't mean a thing to you,
They move right through you,
Just like your breath,
But sometimes,
I still think of you
And I just wanted to,
Just wanted you to know
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I fu** up and say these things out loud
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake


6.Fearless

Lyricist:Sam Ednicott

Too many fingers, too many thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
The best time I've ever had
Waiting around for something bad

Fearless, fearless
And I know that's why you love me
Fearless, fearless, come on
And I know that's why you love me, chica
And I know that's why you love me, chica
And I know that's why you love me, chica

So fearless, so fearless

Well this is what it's all about
Take me in and eat me out
Pins and needles in my arms
Oh yes, your lucky charms

Fearless, fearless
And I know that's why you love me
Fearless, fearless, come on
And I know that's why you love me, chica

Fearless, fearless
And I know that's why you love me, chica
And I know that's why you love me, chica
And I know that's why you love me, chica

So fearless, so fearless
So fearless, so fearless


7.Red Hands & White Knuckles

Lyricist:Samuel Bingham Endicott

She could be found out dancin'
At Ludlow Street and Stanton
Oh, you should've seen her
Shake it up like Orangina

And even though she's a liar
We got on like a house on fire
And even though she's my friend
We never knew when to say when

Every little move she made
Was a ticker tape parade
And everything she'd say
Was a national holiday

And even though she's a liar
No one ever got me higher
And even though she's my friend
We never knew when to say when

With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on

She was at Tompkins Square
Staring at the grass
Trying to make her eyes turn green
But it never lasts

And even though she's a liar
No one ever got me higher
'Cause we never knew when to say when
Even though she was my friend

With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on

Over on 5th and C
She got her beers for free
And every time I came in there
She always laughed at me

She said, 'Who let this child in here?'
You look like you teach math
Your appled eyes betray
You've never known loneliness

With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on


8.Hey Sunshiney Day

Lyricist:John A Conway, Samuel Bingham Endicott

I know what your problem is, baby
Now take it from me
You think too hard, it makes you crazy
So come on sing songs with me, alright

Lie in the sand
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Show me a smile

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Girl, take my hand
And walk a while with me

Hey sunshiney day
Hey sunshiney day
Take a walk with me

Hey sunshiney day
Hey sunshiney day
Walk a while with me
On a sunshiney day

Some days were meant to be alone
And this day was meant to for a girl
There's no way you're staying home
Come on out and let me see those pretty curls

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Up on the roof now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Take me by surprise

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tell me the truth now
And fill my eyes with you

Hey sunshiney day
Hey sunshiney day
Fill my eyes with you

Hey sunshiney day
Hey sunshiney day
Fill my eyes with you
On a sunshiney day


9.The Ring Song

Lyricist:Sam Ednicott

Me and the ocean, me and the sea
I don't think so, I don't think it was meant to be
Take me off, somewhere cold, gradually just growing old
And someday maybe make of me an honest man

Yeah well I don't see no ring on these fingers
I don't see no ring on these fingers
Life in this town, it's like a joke
I must have had fun, 'cause now I'm broke

Down by the ocean, oh by the sea
All these people, they look so, they look so happy to me
What if all, I want in this world turned out just to be an
honest girl
Turned out just to make up me an honest man

Oh yeah well I don't see no ring on these fingers
I don't see no ring on these fingers
Life in this town, it's like a joke
I must have had fun 'cause now I'm broke

I don't see no ring on these fingers
I don't see no ring on these fingers
Life in this town, makes it hard to see
Things that aren't right in front of me yeah

In this town, it's like a joke
I must have had fun 'cause now I'm broke
I'm blind in this town and it's hard to see
Things that aren't right in front of me, yeah

Lyricist:Sam Endicott

It's sweet Eliza, remember me?
I'm a liar but not a cheat, no

I can't control myself sometimes
I think I'm sick but I might be wrong
I think I'm broke but it's hard to tell
I think I feel like I've never felt for you

It's sweet Cassandra, remember me?
You are no longer the one I need
I find it hard to tell that I'll finally be an angel
And silence isn't fooling anyone

All I want is everything
All the words and the truths between
All I want is everything
Everything you're keeping from me

Nothing happens and everything is changed
All I want is everything to stay the same

Will you give in?

I've been staring back in my eyes for a while
I think they never stop moving

All the things that you think of me

All I want is everything to stay the same

You're the woman who made me a man

You opened my chest and put that hurt in my eyes

Violent ties with hands like a steeple
Tell me lies with a tongue like a needle
And every word's shot down my throat
A face like an iron fist that I can never resist

Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth

I'm stuck just like a pig, roasting in your eyes
I'll believe anything that you want
You gotta teach me how to live
'Cause you make me wanna die
You took it all, now you're all I've got

Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth

Noises in my head
Just noises in my head
If I could, I'd drown them right out
I'd bury all of these noises
From your tyrant mouth

17.Swollen Summer

Lyricist:Sam Ednicott

Downtown in the shade
Staring at the sunshine in my face
Telling me to come and hide, come and play
I'm telling you the sun never goes away

And all I do is talk, talk, talk all day
I'm talking my life away
I'm staring at the sun again
Till everything's fading

It's like a swollen summer
What if I'm getting dumber?
What if I'm just in denial?
What if they come and cop my style?

Downtown in the clear
All I know is nothing ever changes here
And I know there's no excuse and no defense
But my summer, summer, summertime, it never ends

And all I do is talk, talk, talk all day
I'm laughing my life away
I'm staring at the sun again
Till everything's fading

It's like a swollen summer
What if I'm getting dumber?
What if I'm just in denial?
What if they come and cop my style?

19.Time Won't Let Me Go (Vocal Up Version)

Lyricist:Samuel Bingham Endicott

Whenever I look back on the best days of my life
I think I saw them all on TV
I am so homesick now for someone that I never knew
I am so homesick for some place I will never be

Time won't let me go
Time won't let me go
If I could do it all again
I'd go back and change everything
But time won't let me go

I never had a 'Summer of 69'
Never had a Cherry Valance of my own
All these precious moments
You promised me would come in time
So where was I when I missed mine?

Time won't let me go
Time won't let me go
If you gave me back those years
I'd do it all better, I swear
Time won't let me go

If I could go back once again
I would change everything, yeah
If I could go back once again
I'd do it all so much better

Time won't let me go
Time won't let me go
If I could do it all again
I'd go back and change everything
But you won't ever let me go


20.Ours

Lyricist:Samuel Bingham Endicott, Daniel Dodd Wilson

After tonight
Who knows where we'll be tomorrow
What if we're never here again?

After tonight
This will be a lifetime ago
So let's stay up until the sky bleeds red

And we'll stop, stop, stop the world from moving
Stop, stop, stop the clocks from turning
Stop this night from fading away

This time is ours
If I could hold this moment in my hands
I'd stop the world from moving
I'd stop the clocks from turning

This time is ours
Inside a frozen memory of us
And we are motionless, motionless

Gone like a dream
That I have just awoken from
Fading away, just out of reach

And we are here
But I already miss you
Even as you're lying next to me

We're stop, stop, stop the world from moving

22.Intro


23.Rat In The Walls


I'm in your head like a rat in the walls
I'm in your head like a rat in the walls
I'm in your head like a rat in the walls
Ohh, Ohh

Every single night when you're lying in bed
You can hear the scratching in the back of your head
I don't know what I did but I'm under your skin
I'm on your mind and you can't get me off

You try to get away, get away, get away
You try to get away, get away, get away
You try to get away, get away, get away
But you keep coming back

I'm in your head like a rat in the walls (3x)
Ohh, Ohh

Just like a horse coming back to the stable
I know you wanna leave me but you are unable
It's instinct now just like ringing a bell
Pavlov would be proud

You try to get away, get away, get away (3x)
But you keep coming back

I'm in your head like a rat in the walls (3x)
Ohh, Ohh


24.Faces


When I hold you I am just trying to feel
That thing inside of you that I once thought was real
See that light I thought I saw but it was never there at all

I put these things of you I wanted to believe
But they're unreal; it seems I made them in my dreams
I see illusions of the things that I just wanted you to be

And I see faces in the darkness
I hear voices in the air
I see shadows all around me
But no one's there
No one's there

I see faces
I see faces

You're speaking but your lips don't match the words
It's just voices in my head
I want someone to love so badly, I don't know what's real
anymore

And I see faces in the darkness
I hear voices in the air
I see shadows all around me
But no one's there
No one's there

I see faces
I see faces


25.Who Left Me Out?


Everyone knows what to do
But nobody told me
Lookin' at me like they knew
Something nobody told me
And everyone knows where to go
But nobody told me
They're walking around like they know
Something no one told me

And I wanna know
Who left me out
And I wanna know
Who let me down
I wanna know who left me out

Who left me out

Everyone knows what to say
But nobody told me
They walk around with a smile on their face
But nobody told me
And everyone knows what to do
But nobody told me
They're looking at me like I knew
Something no one told me

And I wanna know
Who left me out
And I wanna know
Who let me down
I wanna know who left me out

Everyone knows where to be
But nobody told me
I wish they could see what they see
But nobody told me
So maybe it's just me
It must have been me...

And I wanna know
Who left me out
And I wanna know
Who let me down
I wanna know who left me out

Yeah!


26.Sorrow

[** Newbury Comics/Rhino Records Bonus Disc & Time Won't Let Me
Go single:]


With your long blonde hair and your eyes are blue
The only thing I ever get from you is sorrow (sorrow)

You're liked and fun;
Spendin' all my money
You're out there playing your high-class games
Sorrow (Sorrow)

You never do what you know you 'outta
Something tells me you're the devil's daughter
Sorrow (Sorrow)

I tried to find her 'cause I can't resist her
I never knew just how much I missed her
Sorrow (Sorrow)

With your long blonde hair and your eyes are blue
The only thing I ever get from you was sorrow (sorrow)

Your long blonde hair
I couldn't sleep last night
...With your long blonde hair (long blone hair)


27.The Dandy (Rock)


All the games the dandy plays,
All the things he never said,
Multiplies a thousand ways
And ends up wishing he were dead.

He fires away, he fires a miss,
Ignites a fire in his walls.
It chokes the breath, chokes the life,
While no one hears him as he calls.

Going alone, sometimes you know
You're gonna feel that no one's around.
Chances you take while everything
You face is always bringing you down.
None ever knows why they are here
Until they're braced and head for the ground,
Always in need of standing tall.

And to most, he's just a ghost
In a world he never chose.
Is there hope for such a fool
With a past that can't be closed?

He fires away, he fires a miss,
Ignites a fire in his walls.
It chokes the breath, chokes the life,
While no one hears him as he calls.

Going alone, sometimes you know
You're gonna feel that no one's around.
Chances you take while everything
You face is always bringing you down.
None ever knows why they are here
Until they're braced and head for the ground,
Always in need of standing tall.

Going alone, sometimes you know
You're gonna feel that no one's around.
Chances you take while everything
You face is always bringing you down.
None ever knows why they are here
Until they're braced and head for the ground,
Always in need of standing tall.
