1.Right Here
It rains for days
So you stay inside
And lock your door.
Crying all the time
Crying for ...
You don't know what for.
You say your're undone by his kiss,
But don't you think
That for once in your life
It should be like this？
Your hands are tired,
Your eyes are blue.
I'm keeping you right here.
Whatever i have is yours
And it's right here.
Climb aboard my pony
Now you've been thrown.
Get back in the saddle
And let it be known
That you're made of steel.
Don't you think that
For once in your life
He should be made to feel？
Your hands are tired,
Your eyes are blue.
I'm keeping you right here.
Whatever i have is yours
And it's right here.
I know you're 32
But you look 55.
You walk around
With your eyes wide open
But you're barely alive.
You say you've lost your touch
But don't you think
That for once in your life
He could walk without a crutch？
Your hands are tired,
Your eyes are blue.
I'm keeping you right here.
Whatever i have is yours
And it's right here.
2.You Tell Me
Tallulah took a shower for an hour,
Then walked down the street feeling beautiful and clean.
Taulah met a man at a newstand,
Who asked her how does she dream.
What she's missing
Is someone
Who will listen
And then and then and then, you tell me.
Tallulah your make-up needs a shake-up,
Your hair frames a perfect face.
Tallulah wasn't liberated,
By france or any other revolution.
What she's missing
Is someone
Who will listen
And then and then and then, you tell me.
You tell me, i have a choice. you. you. you. come on.
3.Someone Else's Wife
Can't find my way down my own street,
Got to get my dream feet back on its feet.
I'm trapped in my house
On first name terms with its mouse.
Don't sav this house is a shack.
We had it once, can i get it back？
It's a fine line between love and despair;
Do you know the times i've waited on your stair？
Don't say you've got a home and new life,
I won't stand in your way 'cause
You're someone else's wife.
I'm trying to set things straight
But i can't see straight.
I'm gonna drive if it takes me years,
Gotta learn to live with fear.
Don t say this house is a shack.
Lightning hit it so i struck back.
It's a fine line between love and despair;
Do vou know the times i've waited on your stair？
Don't say you've got a home and new life,
I won't stand in your way 'cause
You're someone else's wife.
Don't say this house is a shack.
Thunder cracked so i cracked back.
It's a fine line between love and despair;
Do vou know the times i've waited on your stair？
Don't say you've got a home and new life,
I won't stand in your way 'cause
You're someone else's wife.
4.I Just Get Caught Out
She wiped the hair right out of my eyes.
Tempted me through with desire.
I was trying my best at this stage.
To set myself on fire. then she said hello.
I just get caught out.
All i get is all day long.
On me, and i stand much higher.
You can always get what you want.
If you're burning enough by fire. then she said hello.
I just get caught out
Out again tonight, i'm tired. we need a room but there is no
room.
Then she said good-bye.
I just get caught out.
Out again tonight, through these moonlit streets.
We need a room
But there is no room. then she came again.
I just get caught out.
5.Cut It Out
What would you do
If i told you
To run from him？
What would vou say
If i told you to
Abandon him？
I khow you drink,
You've had a lot to drink,
Do you have to talk like that？
If you go to parties
And cut your hair
People grab their hats.
Ah, but i know with a heart like that
In times like these with a heart like
That you cut it out.
What would you do
If i told you
To pack your bags？
What would you say
If i told you
To take off those rags？
I know you're down,
I know you're blue,
You broke his spell.
If you want life
You take that life
And you live it well.
Ah, but i know with a heart like that
In times like these with a heart like
That you cut it out.
Have you lost vour marbles？
You're not that crazy yet.
Listen to me, don't you forget.
What would you say
If i told you
You had to run from him？
Ah, but i know with a heart like that
In times like these with a heart like
That you cut it out.
6.The House Jack Kerouac Built
You and i together, with nothing showing at all,
In a darkened cinema, i'll give you pleasure in the stalls.
Want to give you tenderness, and my affection too.
If it's through clenched teeth, that's what you driven me
To
I want us to be lovers
I want us to be friends
Want it like; it's the living end.
Keep me away from her.
With your kittens. on the patchwork quilt,
Oh no, what am i doing here, in the house jack kerouac built.
There's white magic, and bad rock'n'roll,
Your friend there says, he's the gatekeeper to my soul.
The velvet curtains
The chinese bell
With friends like these; you're damned as well.
Keep me away from her.
Shake off your despondency, and your country girl act.
You are reading me poetry, that's irish, and so black.
I know you're warm, the warmest person alive,
But are you warm, deep down inside？
I want us to be lovers
I want us to be friends
Want it like; the world crumbles and then it ends.
Keep me away from her.
Baby, i'm lonely.
You're on the road with a bad crowd.
7.Bye Bye Pride
A white moon appears
Like a hole in the sky,
The mangroves go quiet.
In la brisa de la palma
A teenage rasputin
Takes the sting from a gin,
'when a woman learns to walk
She's not dependent anymore
A line front her letter may 24
And out on the bay
The current is strong
A boat can go lost.
But i didn't know someone
Could be so lonesome
Didn't know a heart
Could be tied up
And held for ransom.
Until you take your shoes
And go outside, stride over stride.
Walk to that tide because
The door is open wide.
Turned the fan off
And went for a walk
By the lights down on shield street.
The birds in the trees
Open their wings ...
He goes home again.
He dreams resistance,
They talk commitment,
Things change over long distance.
Took the shirt off his back
The eyes from his head
And left him for dead.
But i didn't know someone
Could be so lonesome
Didn't know a heart
Could be tied up
And held for ransom.
Until you take your shoes
And go outside, stride over stride,
Walk to that tide because
The door is open wide.
Little lies, they'll take your pride.
Until you take your shoes
And go outside. stride over stride,
Walk to that tide because
The door is open wide.
Stride over stride
Walk to that tide.
Bye, bye pride.
Because the door is open wide.
The door is always open wide.
The door is always open wide.
8.Spirit Of A Vampyre
I was slowly dying in a clinic just outside of l.a.
You came and saw me (thank you) that picked me up straight away.
You said 'learn to dance, learn to act, learn the piano'
And most of all you said
'learn to live again'.
That's when it starts. that's when it starts.
The electric train of soft cylinder parts.
Together at last.
I dream of losing you, i wake up holding you so tight.
I don't want to lose you now that i've passed midnight.
I'm in deep with the blue waters around you.
I'm in deep, so blue with everything around you.
(chorus)
(chorus)
That's when it starts. that's when it starts.
The electric train of soft cylinder parts
The dull mask of action on circus staff
Mobility the hood of the hindu scarf
Together at last
Making jewellery at last.
9.The Clarke Sisters
They had problems with their father's law.
They sleep in the back of a feminist bookstore.
The clarke sisters
The eldest sister keeps a midnight vigil.
The youngest sister she's not spiritual.
The clarke sisters.
Their steel grey hair, their lovely steel grey hair.
The clarke sisters.
Why don't i introduce you
I'm sure they won't mind.
But don't you dare, laugh at their collections
Handed down, handed down for love.
The middle sister gets her period blood.
The flood of love. the flood of love.
The clarke sisters.
Their steel grey hair, their lovely steel grey hair.
The clarke sisters.
The afternoon world, the bees have stung the softball girls.
The midnight world, the crystal ball down the wooden hall.
The treehouse stands, their early childhood, were treehouse
plans.
And right above,
The clarke sisters, handed down to love.
Handed down to love. handed down to love.
10.Hope Then Strife
I think i'm getting it right this time;
I can tell by the way she grins.
She put the postcards up on the head of our bed,
I can see algiers.
She said 'don't the streets on sunday look great,
The way they open up their windows
And offer you things you know you'll never buy.'
Lord i'm tired, i'm just so tired.
Don't say that you agree
With the price you paid
For your captivity.
Sweet surrender and your
Poison pen are gonna take you
And make you whole again.
Never gonna be the one
Who said you were the one
Who liked the lonesome life.
All the times you stayed
And prayed and thought you
Had it made it was for
Hope then strife.
So i went and asked my friend the doctor
'what is it i've got this time？'
He said 'apart from that albatross
Around your neck, the tests are
Negative, you really are quite fine'.
So i went out to the airport
To play for my ticket
And someone comes up to me and says
'hey man, they don t pay for that any more
Lord i'm tired, i'm just so tired.
Don't say that you agree
With the price you paid
For your honesty.
Sweet surrender and your
Poison pen are gonna take you
And make you whole again.
Never gonna be the one
Who said you were the one
Who liked the lonesome life.
All the times vou stayed
And prayed and thought you
Had it made it was for
Hope then strife.
Lord i'm tired, i'm just so tired.
I should retire.
Don't say that you agree
With the price at the end
Of hostility.
Sweet surrender and your
Poison pen are gonna take you
And make you whole again.
Never gonna be the one
Who said you were the one
Who liked the lonesome life.
All the times you stayed
And prayed and thought you
Had it made it was for
Hope then strife.
