Suzy

Suzy came down to the beach with me and held my hand
We had met only an hour before.
We kissed and then she talked and then she talked and talked some more,
But for once I really wasn’t bored.
Suzy said let’s get a drink and so I led her on,
Down the steps to Allycats I led her,
It was closed and so I kissed her and I held her hand,
We were drunk on love and lust, it’s funny.
Suzy, Suzy I love you. Suzy I love you.
Suzy said ‘Come visit me in London town one day’
Brighton is too cold now in this season.
I laughed and I held her closer, and I held her hand,
This would be the last time that I’d see her.
Suzy, Suzy I love you. Suzy I lost/lust you.
And I can feel you all the day and night,
I’ll touch you ‘cos I know it’s right.
And I won’t forget a thing about you.

Something About You
03:35
|
|||
|
There’s something about you, that makes me feel that you might be the one,
I’ve never met you but you’re a model of what God intended.
Long have I waited, killing time by killing others dreams,
You are the other half of my school book painted butterfly.
Follow your heart. Don’t worry about tomorrow as I’ll make today the best you’ve ever seen
Follow your heart. Don’t worry about tomorrow as I’ll be there for you...
So far I’ve wasted, so much of what I’ve got to give on others,
And I will show you, so much of what your childhood dreams were missing,
Don’t be scared – ‘love’s not love which alters when it alteration finds’,
And now I’ve found you, I’m never going to let you slip away.
Sea food, drinking, fighting, singing, dancing, watch the sun....
Follow your heart. Don’t worry about tomorrow as I’ll make today the best you’ve ever seen
Follow your heart. Don’t worry about tomorrow as I’ll be there for you...

Run
04:01

You had me running away.
And you had me dying to say,
That I can’t believe in myself.
And I don’t want else, not anyone else, well,
You used to think you were so in love,
Well I know what I want to be.
I’ve seen through you my girl!
And my friends they all say,
“You are lucky as well,
But you could do better”
And she tells me all the time
That all her friends say
“Ooh, I wish I had some one,
Just like the way he is!,”
But I don’t really care,
I was too nice, but now I dare
Not to call you every night
It’s your turn now ‘cos I’m all right.
You had me running away.
Now you, well now you’re running my way.
‘Cos I can believe in myself.
And I don’t want anyone else, not anyone else, well,
I used to think that I was so in love,
Well I know what I want to be.
I’ve seen through you my girl!
And my friends they all say,
“You are lucky as well,
But you could do better”
And she tells me all the time
That all her friends say
“Ooh, I wish I had some one,
Just like the way he is,”
Teach me how to run.

Out of Service
04:19
|
|||
|
So, you’re falling asleep
At five in the afternoon
Now you’ve come to terms
With your poverty, you don’t like how it feels
You’re out of service
You’re out of service
You used to do things the old fashioned way
Now your world has changed
She left for a better life,
And when you broke she just,
She had you replaced
You’re out of service
You’re out of service
It’s killing you
Having nothing to do
It’s driving you mad.
Smoking too much, staring the walls
Eating microwave meals or nothing at all
You took your gun and made a big mess
The neighbours said they never expected that,
But they always say that
You’re out of service
You’re out of service
It’s killing you
Having nothing to do
It’s driving you mad.

Sweet Little Wonder
03:15
|
|||
|
Sitting in my room on a Tuesday morning,
What am I doing awake? It’s not even lunchtime yet.
Will I go and think of you in the bar all day?
I haven’t any money to so I guess I’ll stay.
Is it true there’s nothing at all I’d rather do than see you?
Well I want to, I need to, see you more than ever.
You’re my sweet little wonder,
Sweet little wonder girl,
And I love my sweet little wonder,
Sweet little wonder girl.
I have never seen anything like you before baby.
Even since that day in the pub when everyone was more than all right.
What do I say to you when I can’t think straight?
Even now I know it’s true, just what they say,
When they say that you are the best thing to ever happen to angels,
‘Cos I want you more than two blonde Swedish sisters….
You’re my sweet little wonder,
Sweet little wonder girl,
And I love my sweet little wonder,
Sweet little wonder girl.

Send Me Nothing
03:22
|
|||
|
I stayed at home and it started to rain,
Wasn’t surprised when the post never came,
The lights were out I was feeling quite sad
For I have lost everything that I had.
Your bed is cold, you’ve been sleeping around,
The curtains drawn, never making a sound,
Catch your breathe, pick the clouds off the ground,
It would take more than the sky falling down
To make me change my attitude.
I’d rather see the back of you than wait all night for your call
So send me your love back tonight or send nothing at all.
An old song from when I was young
It meant a lot but you said it was dull,
It doesn’t matter what you think any more
‘Cos I have lost what we’re all looking for.
We took a walk by the river in the park,
The sun was shining, we were lying on the grass.
The trees grew tall but the leaves were all dead
And in my heart I think I knew what that meant
I must admit I can’t take much more
I’d rather see the back of you than wait all night for your call
So send me your love back tonight or send nothing at all.

There’s no reply from you today, and I have to say,
It’s driving me insane.
There’s no chance that you will say you’d like to see me.
Sometimes there’s nothing left of my life to give,
I can’t wait for the train without feeling low,
I sit down where I can be alone
Ain’t it too bad that you can see me...
There’s no reply from you today, but anyway,
I guess there won’t be now I’ve told you to get lost.
There’s no chance that you will say, you’d like to see me,
And make me dinner and kiss after coffee.
Sometimes there’s nothing left of my life to give,
I can’t wait for the train without feeling low,
Sit down where no-one sees I’m a miserable geezer
Too bad it’s always you who sees me.
And it makes me dizzy darling.
And it makes me dizzy, don’t look back.
I could wait forever, sunbeam shines upon me...
There’s no reply from you today, I have to say it’s driving me crazy.
There’s no chance that you will say you’d like to see me for a drink.
Sometimes there’s nothing left of my life to give,
I can’t wait for the train without feeling low,
Sit down where no-one sees I’m a miserable geezer
Too bad it’s always you who sees me.

Get Me
02:31
|
|||
|
Stumbled along like a wet paper bag, a cup of tea in her hand,
A little dog which she’d drag,
“How are you?” is the most you can say,
I can’t bear to reply and waste my day,
I’m a liar and a thief, I’ll break your heart,
What I am you’ve made me, play your part,
Depression, joy and a moment of fame
That’s your world and who is it you blame?
Get me. Get me, no, get me, you don’t get me.
Get me. Get me, no, get me, you don’t get me.
You think those veggie morals of which you boast,
Make you special, regal and better than most,
And as you peacock your little self around,
Without a thought of how I’d feel about,
You, me, time...I always found time,
You want forgiveness but I cannot forget,
There’s no apology which you’ll accept.
Get me. Get me, no, get me, you don’t get me.
Get me. Get me, no, get me, you don’t get me.
And I feel that now it’s time to move along and up,
And I’m really feeling fine now you have given up.
You’re free to be alone again.
This is it, the end is close at hand,
It’s never easy not to care my friend,
I was wrong and all this has been,
Is a case of mis-identity,
You, me, time...we’ve run out of time.
When you’re old and tired and full of sleep,
Who’d you think you’ll think of as you weep?
Get me. Get me, no, get me, you don’t get me.
Get me. Get me, no, get me, you don’t get me.

Too Little, Too Late
03:22
|
|||
|
This is me on a good day I know it’s rare that you see me smile but I’m sure you’ll agree,
It’s not without reason I’ve been standing at the back of the room on my own for a while.
But no more…
I’ve had something of a revelation you could call it a vision and suddenly everything seems very small, like the whole universe existed purely inside these four walls
And time slowed down, the grace of eternity was mine.
Where’s this going? Who could really say?
I just hope it’s not too little too late.
This is truth without fear, don’t be alarmed if it makes the difficult choices appear,
To be just trivial matters of flesh, fashion and things that in a few years
Will disappear.
If you’ve got something to prove you should move along
‘Cos, I’m really not in the mood,
To be, distracted and confused,
By your carefully placed illusion
To mask your intrusion into my good day.
I just hope it’s not too little too late
My imagination melts away into a lazy fantasy
And my dreams have leaked into what was once reality
It’s all a blur,
The murdered lay with the murderer
Where’s this going? Who could really say?
I just hope it’s, not too little too late.
If you’ve got something to prove you should move along
‘Cos, I’m really not in the mood,
To be distracted and confused,
By your carefully placed illusion
To mask your intrusion into my good day.

Country Low
03:35
|
|||
|
When I’m feeling low, I take a walk into the country.
No –one sees me though, I hide myself inside the country.
I sit and play away, no-one to hear me in the country.
The sun is shining now, a breeze is blowing in the country.
Oh! Let it rain!
Let it rain on me.
Experience has shown that life can treat you very roughly,
It won’t affect me though, I’m finding peace inside the country.
And I won’t hide behind my stiff upper lip inside the country
I’m breaking up my old shell, it’s never coming back to haunt me.
Oh! Let it rain!
Let it rain on me.

The Sad Thing
03:35
|
|||
|
We never got on,we only got off,
When we got on it was never enough.
I will tell you so you can see,
That when we got on it felt so good,
Oh baby, it never never never felt so good
Baby! It never never never felt so good.
We never got on we only got off,
And when we got on it was never enough.
I will tell you, though you can see
That when we got off it felt so beautiful,
Baby! It never never never felt so good
Baby! It never never never felt so good.
But the sad thing is I adore you.
Yes the sad thing is I adore you.
I'm drinking, ‘cos being drunk's like being with you.
Yes, I'm drunk. Cos being drunk's like being with you.

Meet and Wine
03:36
|

|
If I look scared, it’s ‘cos I’ve lost all of my fear
If I look tired, it’s ‘cos I haven’t slept in years
If you can see me crying, it’s ‘cos I’ve been drained of all my tears.
And I try not to smile but it’s too hard to hide
It’s all in your eyes, everything that I need to survive,
To just get by.
If I look cold, it’s ‘cos I’ve been living on the streets
If I seem distant, it’s ‘cos I’ve gone into retreat.
If you can see right through me, it’s ‘cos I’m a long way from complete.
And I try not to smile but it’s too hard to hide
It’s all in your eyes, everything that I need to survive,
To just get by.
I don’t want to sound depressing,
But this situation is quite upsetting,
There’s nothing left here for you to see in me.
If I seem excited, it's 'cos you've been so hard to find,
If I look worried, it’s ‘cos I’ve got lots on my mind,
If you can hear me screaming, it's 'cos I’ve got so much to shout about.
And I try not to smile but it’s too hard to hide
It’s all in your eyes, everything that I need to survive,
To just get by.

Waiting For the Storm
02:22
|
|||
|
Haven’t drunk in days, stopped thinking of sneaky ways to get out of this mess
Running up and down the road in all my old clothes to get free of this excess weight
Don’t you try, to calm me down
I’m already calm
Just waiting for the storm
Pictures flash up on the screen and they are more obscene than anything I have ever seen,
Suddenly don’t feel so clean, desperate to wash away the bad dreams that haunt me.
Don’t you try to cheer me up
I’m really quite happy
You’ll just have to believe me.
Picking up the phone talking to the dialling tone having one way conversations
Disappearing into thoughts escaping what reality has to offer.
Don’t you try, to bring me back
I’m already here, just waiting for you to notice.
And don’t you try, to calm me down
I’m already calm, just waiting for the storm.

Sorry To Leave You
04:02
|
|||
|
When I see you, well it chills me to the bone,
Thinking all of what you do.
I’ll make it simple, there’s someone in the way,
Far above all that you do.
Nice to see you and I’m sorry to leave you.
Looking up the street the children run and play,
They’ve no fear in what we do.
Looking down I see the circle is complete,
And it’s clear that we are through.
Nice to see you and I’m sorry to leave you.
My soul is in a darkened place.
Oh no…
It doesn’t really matter any more.
Oh no…
I can’t bear the thought of what I would have been,
Had I said “I do” to you,
No one ever here will truly know my soul,
It’s my secret through and through.
So nice to see you and I’m sorry to leave you.
My soul is in a darkened place.
Oh no…
It doesn’t really matter any more.
Oh no…
I’m comatose and I am hungry for a little something more,
Unveil the stone, pull out the sword look at the stars, stare at the sun,
Now I am blind, I feel my way, I trip and fall , I fall away from you...
So nice to see you… I’m sorry to leave you.
