Pariah

Recommended Posts

We used to laugh, we used to cry 

We used to bow our heads then, wonder why 

And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on 

And make the best of what you've left to me 

Left to me, left to me 

 

I need you like the flower needs the rain 

You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again 

You know I need you like the winter needs the spring 

You know I need you, I need you 

 

And every day, I'd laugh the hours away 

Just knowing you were thinking of me 

And then it came that I was put to blame 

For every story told about me 

About me, about me 

 

I need you like the flower needs the rain 

You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again 

You know I need you, I need you 

I need you like the winter needs the spring 

You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again 

You know I need you, I need you 

 

I need you like the flower needs the rain 

You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again 

You know I need you, I need you 

I need you like the winter needs the spring 

You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again 

You know I need you, I need you ...

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin

Don't say words youre gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

Chorus:
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

There is freedom within there is freedom without

Try to catch a deluge in a paper cup

There's a battle ahead  many battles are lost

But you'll never see the end of the road While you're traveling with me

 

[CHORUS] Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

 

Now I'm towing my car

there's a hole in the roof

my possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof

in the paper today 

tales of war and of waste

but you turn right over to the T.V. page

 

[CHORUS] Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

 

Now I'm walking again 

to the beat of a drum

And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

Only shadows ahead

barely clearing the roof

Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

 

Hey now, Hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, Hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

You know they won't win

 

Don't let them win

Hey now, Hey now

Hey now, Hey now Hey now,

Hey now

Don't let them win

 

They come, They come

Don't let them win

 

 

Hey now, Hey now (yeah) Hey now, Hey now

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

She never really had a chance

On that fateful moonlit night

Sacrificed without a fight

A victim of a circumstance

 

Now that I've become aware

And I've exposed this tragedy

A sadness grows inside of me

It all seems so unfair

 

I'm learning all about my life

By looking through her eyes

 

Just beyond the churchyard gates

Where the grass is overgrown

I saw the writing on her stone

I felt like I would suffocate

 

In loving memory of our child

So innocent, eyes open wide

I felt so empty as I cried

Like part of me had died

 

I'm learning all about my life

By looking through her eyes

 

And as her image

Wandered through my head

I wept just like a baby

As I lay awake in bed

 

And I know what it's like

To lose someone you love

And this felt just the same

 

She wasn't given any choice

Desperation stole her voice

I've been given so much more in life

I've got a son, I've got a wife

 

I had to suffer one last time

To grieve for her and say goodbye

Relive the anguish of my past

To find out who I was at last

 

The door has opened wide

I'm turning with the tide

Looking through her eyes

If you're going to San Francisco

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

If you're going to San Francisco

You're gonna meet some gentle people there

 

For those who come to San Francisco

Summertime will be a love-in there

In the streets of San Francisco

Gentle people with flowers in their hair

 

All across the nation

Such a strange vibration

People in motion

There's a whole generation

With a new explanation

People in motion

People in motion

 

For those who come to San Francisco

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

If you come to San Francisco

Summertime will be a love-in there

All my friends are heathens. Take it slow

Wait for them to ask you who you know

Please don't make any sudden moves

You don't know the half of the abuse

 

All my friends are heathens. Take it slow

Wait for them to ask you who you know

Please don't make any sudden moves

You don't know the half of the abuse

 

Welcome to the room of people

Who have rooms of people that they loved one day

Docked away

Just because we check the guns at the door

Doesn't mean our brains will change from hand grenades

 

You're lovin' on the psychopath sitting next to you

You're lovin' on the murderer sitting next to you

You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?"

But after all I've said

Please don't forget

 

All my friends are heathens. Take it slow

Wait for them to ask you who you know

Please don't make any sudden moves

You don't know the half of the abuse

 

We don't deal with outsiders very well

They say newcomers have a certain smell

You have trust issues, not to mention

They say they can smell your intentions

 

You're lovin' on freakshow sitting next to you

You'll have some weird people sitting next to you

You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?"

But after all I've said

Please don't forget

 

(Watch it, watch it)

 

All my friends are heathens. Take it slow

Wait for them to ask you who you know

Please don't make any sudden moves

You don't know the half of the abuse

 

All my friends are heathens. Take it slow

(Watch it)

Wait for them to ask you who you know

(Watch it)

Please, all my friends are heathens. Take it slow

(Watch it)

Wait for them to ask you who you know

 

Why'd you come, you knew you should have stayed

(It's blasphemy)

I tried to warn you just to stay away

And now they're outside ready to bust

It looks like you might be one of us

Loneliness is the coat you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there

 

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
Tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Baby

 

Emptiness is the place you're in
Nothing to lose, but no more to win

 

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
Tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Lonely

Without you
Baby
Oh, I need you
I can't go on

 

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
Tears are always clouding your eyes
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
When you're without love

 

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
Not anymore
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
Bring it back, baby
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
Oh, baby

Now there are three steps to heaven

(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven)

Just listen and you will plainly see

(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven)

And as life travels on

And things do go wrong

Just follow steps one, two and three

(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven)

 

Step one, you find a girl you love

Step two, she falls in love with you

Step three, you kiss and hold her tightly

 

Yeah, that sure seems like heaven to me

(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven)

 

The formula for heaven's very simple

(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven)

Just follow the rules and you will see

And as life travels on and things do go wrong

Just follow steps one, two and three

(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven)

 

Step one, you find a girl you love

Step two, she falls in love with you

Step three, you kiss and hold her tightly

Yeah, that sure seems like heaven to me

Are you ready Steve ? Uh-huh

Andy ? Yeah

Mick ? Okay

Alright fellas, let's go!

 

Oh it's been getting so hard

Living with the things you do to me

My dreams are getting so strange

I'd like to tell you everything I see

 

Oh, I see a man at the back as a matter of fact

His eyes are as red as the sun

And the girl in the corner let no one ignore her

Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

 

Oh yeah ! It was like lightning

Everybody was fighting

And the music was soothing

And they all started grooving

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

 

And the man in the back said everyone attack

And it turned into a ballroom blitz

And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you

It'll turn into a ballroom blitz

Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz

 

Oh reaching out for something

Touching nothing's all I ever do

Oh I softly call you over

When you appear there's nothing left of you

 

And the man in the back is ready to crack

As he raises his hands to the sky

And the girl in the corner is everyone's woman

She could kill you with a wink of her eye

 

Oh yeah ! It was electric

So perfectly hectic

And the band started leaving

'Cause they all stopped breathing

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

And the man in the back said everyone attack

And it turned into a ballroom blitz

And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you

It'll turn into a ballroom blitz

Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz

 

Oh yeah ! It was like lightning

Everybody was fighting

And the music was soothing

And they all started grooving

Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

 

And the man in the back said everyone attack

And it turned into a ballroom blitz

And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you

It'll turn into a ballroom blitz

Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz

It's it's a ballroom blitz

It's it's a ballroom blitz

It's it's a ballroom blitz

Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay

Ain't it sad

And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me

That's too bad

 

In my dreams I have a plan

If I got me a wealthy man

I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...

 

Money, money, money

Must be funny

In the rich man's world

Money, money, money

Always sunny

In the rich man's world

 

Aha-ahaaa

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

 

A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind

Ain't it sad

And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me

That's too bad

 

So I must leave, I'll have to go

To Las Vegas or Monaco

And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...

 

Money, money, money

Must be funny

In the rich man's world

Money, money, money

Always sunny

In the rich man's world

 

Aha-ahaaa

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

 

Money, money, money

Must be funny

In the rich man's world

Money, money, money

Always sunny

In the rich man's world

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

And you freeze in the winter
And you curse on the wind
At your fate
When you haven't any shoes
On your feet
And your coat's thin as paper
And you look thirty pounds
Underweight.
When you go to get a word of advice
From the fat little pastor
He will tell you to love evermore.
But when hunger comes a rap,
Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window...

This here is the place where I will be staying
There isn't a number, you can call the pay phone
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time
If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more, oh
If I don't pick up, pick up
The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her, oh

There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up
But this machine can only swallow money
You can't lay a patch by computer design
It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs

Tell her
Tell her she can kiss my ass
Then laugh and say that you were only kidding
That way she'll know that it's really, really, really, really me

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her, oh

Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me
Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial
A can of beans or black-eyed peas, some Nescafe and ice
A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading from Doctor Seuss

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her, oh

The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend
But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream
The sidewinder sleeps on his back

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her, oh

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her, oh

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her, oh

We've got to moogie, moogie, move on this one

I

I just took a ride

In a silver machine

And I'm still feeling mean.

Do you wanna ride see yourself going by.

The other side of the sky

 

I got a silver machine.

It flies side ways thru' time

 

It's an electricline

 

It's your Zodiac sign.

I've got a silver machine

 

I've got a silver machine.

 

I said

I just took a ride in a silver machine

And I'm still feeling mean.

It flies

Out of a dream

It's antiseptically clean

 

You're gonna know where I've been

Do you wanna ride see yourself going by.

The other side of the sky

 

I mean a silver machine.

 

I've got a silver machine

 

I've got a silver machine.

When I was young
My father told me just bad guys die,
At the time just a little white lie.
It was one of the first but it hurt me the most,
And the truth stung like tears in my eyes;
That even the good guys must die.
There's no reasoning, no crimes, and I never knew why.
Even now, it still makes me cry.

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have
Hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you

Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not gonna be the one
To share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one
To share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one to share what
Seems to be the life that you could
Cherish as much as I do yours

Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters
Just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are drivin' me out of my mind

Oh, I could say I need you
But then you'd realize
That I want you
Just like a thousand other guys
Who'd say they loved you
Like all the rest of their lies
When all they wanted
Was to touch your face your hands
And gaze into your eyes

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling
That I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you

And I do
Cherish you
And I do
Cherish you

Cherish is the word

Yeah, that’s a big 10-4 there Pig Pen. Yeah, we’ve definitely got the front door, good buddy. Mercy sakes alive, it looks like we’ve got us a convoy.

 

It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June in a Kenworth pullin’ logs

Cab-over Pete with a reefer on, and a Jimmy haulin’ hogs

We was headin’ for bear on I-1-0 about a mile outta Shakytown

I says, “Pig Pen, this here’s the Rubber Duck, and I’m about to put the hammer down”

 

‘Cause we’ve got a little old convoy rockin’ through the night

Yeah, we’ve got a little old convoy, ain’t she a beautiful sight?

Come on and join our convoy, ain’t nothin’ gonna get in our way

We’re gonna roll this truckin’ convoy across the USA

Convoy

 

Uh, breaker, Pig Pen, this here’s the Duck, and you wanna back off them hogs? Uh, 10-4, about five mile or so, 10, Roger. Them hogs is gettin’ intense up here.

 

By the time we got into Tulsa town we had eighty-five trucks in all

But there’s a roadblock up on the cloverleaf, and them bears was wall to wall

Yeah, them Smokies was thick as bugs on a bumper, they even had a bear in the air

I says, “Callin’ all trucks, this here’s the Duck, we about to go huntin’ bear.”

Well, we rolled up Interstate forty-four like a rocket sled on rails

We tore up all of our swindle sheets and left ‘em sittin’ on the scales

By the time we hit that Chi-town, them bears was gettin’ smart

They’d brought up some reinforcements from the Illinois National Guard

There’s armored cars and tanks and jeeps and rigs of every size

Yeah, them chicken coops was full of bears, and choppers filled the skies

Well, we shot the line and we went for broke with a thousand screamin’ trucks

And eleven long-haired Friends of Jesus in a chartreuse microbus

 

Yeah, Rubber Duck, this is Sodbuster, come on there. Yeah, 10-4 Sodbuster. Listen, you wanna put that microbus in behind that Suicide Jockey? Yeah, he’s haulin’ dynamite, and he needs all the help he can get.

 

Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey shore and prepared to cross the line

I could see the bridge was lined with bears, but I didn’t have a doggone dime

I says, “Big Ben, this here’s the Rubber Duck, we just ain’t gonna pay no toll”

So we crashed the gate doin’ ninety-eight, I says, “Let them truckers roll, 10-4”

 

‘Cause we’ve got a mighty convoy rockin’ through the night

Yeah, we’ve got a mighty convoy, ain’t she a beautiful sight?

Come on and join our convoy, ain’t nothin’ gonna get in our way

We’re gonna roll this truckin’ convoy across the USA

Convoy

Well, mercy sakes, good buddy, we gonna back on outta here, so keep the bugs off you glass and the bears off your . . . tail. We’ll catch you on the flip-flop. This here’s the Rubber Duck on the side. We gone. Bye-bye.

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,

My heart says follow t'rough.

But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,

But the waitin' feel is fine:

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,

'Cause I know I have to do my thing.

Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb;

I wanna know when you're gonna come - soon.

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,

'Cause if summer is here,

I'm still waiting there;

Winter is here,

And I'm still waiting there.

 

Like I said:

It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,

And I still can knock some more:

Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?

I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.

Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,

But your love is my relief:

Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn

While I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for my turn,

See!

 

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, oh!

I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna wait in vain.

I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna wait in vain.

No, I don't wanna (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -

No I - no I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't

wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -

No, no-no, I, no, I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -

It's your love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);

It's me love that you're running from.

It's Jah love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -

I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);

It's me love that you're running from.

I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care

If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there

Like a puppet on a string

 

Love is just like a merry-go-round

With all the fun of a fair

One day I'm feeling down on the ground

Then I'm up in the air

Are you leading me on?

Tomorrow will you be gone?

 

I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care

If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there

Like a puppet on a string

 

I may win on the roundabout

Then I'll lose on the swings

In or out, there is never a doubt

Just who's pulling the strings

I'm all tied up in you

But where's it leading me to?

 

I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care

If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there

Like a puppet on a string

 

I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care

If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there

Like a puppet on a string

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

cryin' all the time.

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

cryin' all the time.

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit

and you ain't no friend of mine.

 

When they said you was high classed,

well, that was just a lie.

The harbor lights were shining,

The moon was in its high.

The captain said, "Thank God we're home!

We've drunk the barrels dry."

The mizzen mast was shaken,

And the lanterns all burned low,

I'd never thought we'd make it

But we've twenty leagues to go

So blow you southern trades

And guide me safely to the shore,

I'm never ever gonna sail

The seven seas no more

 

I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair,

The roll of the tide and the salt in the air

Deep inside it's true

I'm a home lovin' man,

Comin' on home to you

I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes,

The shimmer of light when the seagull flies

Although I've traveled far

I'm a home lovin' man,

And home is where you are

 

The crowd upon the quayside

Their faces long and drawn

Are suddenly awakened

As we sail in on the dawn

The wives, the sons, the lovers,

Who never gave up hope

All breathe a sigh together

As they reach to catch the rope

 

God bless you, southern trades,

You got me safely back this time

Oh, you'll never have the need again

To save this soul of mine

 

I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair,

The roll of the tide and the salt in the air

Deep inside it's true

I'm a home lovin' man,

Comin' on home to you

I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes,

The shimmer of light when the seagull flies

Although I've traveled far

I'm a home lovin' man,

And home is where you are

 

Yes, I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair,

The roll of the tides and the salt in the air

Deep inside it's true

I'm a home lovin' man,

Comin' on home to you...

I'm leaning on a lamp, maybe you think, I look a tramp,

Or you may think I'm hanging 'round to steal a motor-car.

But no I'm not a crook, And if you think, that's what I look,

I'll tell you why I'm here, And what my motives are.

 

I'm leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street,

In case a certain little lady comes by.

Oh me, oh my, I hope the little lady comes by.

I don't know if she'll get away, She doesn't always get away,

But anyhow I know that she'll try. 

Oh me, oh my, I hope the little lady comes by,

There's no other girl I would wait for, But this one I'd break any date

for,

I won't have to ask what she's late for, She wouldn't have to leave me

flat, 

She's not a girl like that.

Oh, she's absolutely wonderful, and marvellous and beautiful.

And anyone can understand why,

I'm leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street

In case a certain little lady passes by.

Father wears his Sunday best

Mother's tired she needs a rest

The kids are playing up downstairs

Sister's sighing in her sleep

Brother's got a date to keep

He can't hang around

 

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our

 

Our house it has a crowd

There's always something happening

And it's usually quite loud

Our mum she's so house-proud

Nothing ever slows her down

And a mess is not allowed

 

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our

 

Our house, in the middle of our street

(Something tells you)

(That you've got to get away from it)

Our house, in the middle of our

 

Father gets up late for work

Mother has to iron his shirt

Then she sends the kids to school

Sees them off with a small kiss

She's the one they're going to miss

In lots of ways

 

[instrumental Interlude]

 

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our

 

I remember way back then when

Everything was true and when

We would have such a very good time

Such a fine time

Such a happy time

And I remember how we'd play

Simply waste the day away

Then we'd say

Nothing would come between us

Two dreamers

Our house, in the middle of our street

 

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our

 

Our house, was our castle and our keep

Our house, in the middle of our street

 

Our house, that was where we used to sleep

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street

It’s never been easy for me

To find words to go along with a melody

But this time there’s actually something on my mind

So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

 

Since I met you, my whole life has changed

It’s not just my furniture you’ve rearranged

I was living in the past, but somehow you’ve brought me back

And I haven’t felt like this since before Frankie said relax

 

And while I know, based on my track record,

I might not seem like the safest bet

All I’m asking you is don’t write me off just yet

 

For years I’ve been telling myself the same old story

That I’m happy to live off my so-called former glories

But you’ve given me a reason to take another chance

Now I need you, despite the fact that you’ve killed all my plants

 

And though I know, I’ve already blown more chances

Than anyone should ever get

All I’m asking you is don’t write me off just yet

Don’t write me off just yet
