With some girls it don't matter, who you hang with. With some girls it don't matter, how you talk. And some girls they are easy to be yourself with. But the one girl that I want.
Well, I talk like a boy to my baby sometimes. And you talk like a baby when your boy is crying. You made something to love but I love what I am. No family man.
A struck match faded like a nervous laugh. Beyond the halo of a naked bulb. And your low voice mingles with your other half's. . School friends in second-hand clothes.
Open up your eyes. Everything is crying out. This could be your time. She fell out of the sky. Must every star been working on. Heavenly designs. . A crooked line of lightning.
You can find another country if you want. Somewhere you can hide yourself away. Find yourself another set of holes to haunt. Get yourself another debt that you can't pay.
What I want is everything to clear. So let the clocks be wrong. Let the evening be longer, let me drown in here. . 'Cause what I want gets clouded by the sun.
Baby, hold it, just let me try. For just one minute but be this other guy. And live his life. With my home and faithful wife. And your pretty face to kiss some nights.
It's been a long way down. From what I was then to what I'm now. I was up there and baby you were proud. Yeah, it's been a long way down. . It's been a slow road back.
UK CDS "When You Were Young". . By the time you get to hear this I'll be long gone down the road. Without a toothbrush or a suitcase in a world I didn't know.
People say, you are a stand up guy. You'd never hurt no one and you'd never try. And you laugh and you cry. And you do all the things. That anybody does to show they are alive.
UK CDS "Tell Her This". . This is the last love song we'll sing. Now that the death of our dreams. Has poisoned everything. The shadow of the squaw shades our door.
I can't look into the future, but I can't cheat the past. I will wipe away my memory, I will find freedom at last. I will walk away from everything that I used to want so bad.
It seems like weeks since you looked at me baby. Without that look of distaste. I don't know why your feelings are changing. But I've seen it in your face.
I still don't believe it, how much we lied. Last night you made it with him now I'm supposed to be dignified. Just like a man. . Well I spend my night times drinking and you spend your days in bed.
Look at me, I'm the one who got away, the one who could've shone. I tried to do my best, but I guess your best don't last for long. . Look at me, standing with my tattered pride of toothless little lions.
Does your appetite for novelty still burn?. And do you pick a fight just to feel the heat of his concern?. Do you still misbehave, then beg for his reprieve?.
Jesus saves, saves little children in distress. Jesus saves, He saves the sick, the penniless. Jesus saves, He saves the dying in their beds. Jesus saves, He saves the drowning, saves the wrecks.
Summer here is over in a million different ways. You look like a dream sometimes, but I don't dream these days. And yesterday the snow fell, by four o'clock it thawed.
There is nobody here tonight. Who doesn't dance to the same tune as I. Looking for that special someone new. And hey, babe, it might as well be you. .
UK CDS "Driving With The Brakes On". . Maybe you are crying now. Or maybe you're relieved. I guess we both stopped trying Baby to believe. . And maybe you are hurting badly.
