Dress Me Up In Bruises Set a day for a thing or two to say I can’t stay where I’ve got to go Turn around, pick your fingers from the ground I can’t see what I’ve got to show Oh you dress me up in bruises If I whisper to you all of my excuses Well I work for my living and the marks are on my face right now I’ll get through somehow I work to be forgiven with the battles on my hands right now I’ll get through somehow Anytime with a thousand reasons why I can’t stand where I’m going to fall Forty fives for a burning to survive I can’t walk where I’ve got to crawl And your friends all think you’re so damn cute Everybody’s just a parrot in a suit Yes I work for my living and the marks are on my face right now I’ll get through somehow I work to be forgiven with the battles on my hands right now I’ll get through somehow I can’t just go on waiting Trying to push the same thing away Yes I work for my living and the marks are on my face right now I’ll get through somehow I work to be forgiven with the battles on my hands right now I’ll get through somehow

Memories Remain She wasn’t adverse to using rude words after hours Cutting the heads off of flowers Burning rock holes in my jeans Walking all over my dreams I thought of how nice were those eyes and that smile I thought once or twice it was nice for a while She wasn’t afraid of getting waylaid in the garden Not that I’m begging your pardon But I find that I’m now doing time While never accused of a crime I thought of how nice were those eyes and that smile I thought once or twice it was nice for a while Just turned around A lifetime’s gone Won’t get me down I’ll sing my song She could be accused of being too crude on occasion Being open to persuasion Being far too hard to please Bringing me down to my knees Times change but memories remain Times change but memories remain

This City 03:26
This City We’ve got full picture postcards and wrecking crews We’ve got long hot butter and thinning fuse This City don’t get up for me This City ain’t my cup of tea We’ve got wide open spaces Bows in our laces There ain’t no getting over it takes so long We’ve got the scent of a natural and falling ash We’ve got instant persuasion and memory crash This City don’t stay out too long This City never felt so wrong We’ve got cars at the races Scars on our faces There ain’t no getting over it takes so long Oh idle eyes and smoky shallow voice I’m sitting here and waiting for the choice And breathing And screaming My my there ain’t much left right in this city This City don’t get up for me This City it ain’t no guarantee We’ve got cars at the races Scars on our faces There ain’t no getting over it takes so long

Never Seen You Cry Lost to me, you’re lost to me again The bottle has become your only friend Got to be, you’ve got to be a man Apparently you can If I could I’d wipe the tears out of your eyes You know I would if I’d ever seen you cry But I’ve never seen you cry You’re all alone in misery again I knew you’d be in the end But I believe in harmony with man Family and friends If you would please wipe the tears out of my eyes If I could I’d be crying all the time But I’ve never seen you cry Never seen you cry I’ve never seen you crying I know that it’s not right I’ve never see you crying If I could I’d wipe the tears out of your eyes You know I would if I’d ever seen you cry But I’ve never seen you cry

Miracle Crash I need a miracle like nothing else I’ve got overkill so you know you help yourself It don’t want evidence It don’t need medicine It won’t take anything It don’t give afterglows Oh nobody knows like me Did you see them fall, crash against the wall So sad to watch it all end this way Did you feel the pull, pushing for the kill In miracles They tell me all the time I need a little blood to pick me up I’ve got the bitter stuff but you know it ain’t that tough I won’t apologise For all the little lies That I can’t keep inside It don’t come dressed in bows Oh nobody knows like me Did you see them fall, crash against the wall So sad to watch it all end this way Did you feel the pull, pushing for the kill In miracles They tell me all the time You can take it to the water you can’t make it think The man said, don’t smoke, don’t drink You just don’t rock at all Did you see them fall, crash against the wall So sad to watch it all end this way Did you feel the pull, pushing for the kill In miracles They tell me all the time

The Turning of the Screw Hard rain’s been falling for far too long Here comes sunshine, here comes summertime I kept on thinking ‘bout what went wrong Here comes sunshine, here comes summertime I thought it was all a conspiracy The sky was never blue I lost the sunshine inside of me And blamed it all on you The turning of the screw Rain clouds were gathering above my home Here comes sunshine, here comes summertime Seems like they follow wherever I go Here comes sunshine, here comes summertime I thought they all had it in for me My skies were never blue I lost the sunshine inside of me Blamed it all on you The turning of the screw The clouds are lifting Clearing my view The rain is slowing Now I find you I thought it was all a conspiracy The skies were never blue I lost the sunshine inside of me And blamed it all on you The turning of the screw Oh what a thing to do I used to blame the weather on you It was such a stupid thing to do Well I used to blame the weather on you What a thing to do

Stars Fall 04:26
Stars Fall We were living in a suitcase and a plastic hat We were fifteen better but no better than that I wouldn’t let you down I couldn’t let you down We were standing at the station with a rubber band Everything we hold we held in our hand I wouldn’t let you down I just couldn’t let you down It’s a shame it’s the same every time around Stars fall We’re the only ones who’ll ever know the score We take it with us everywhere we go Spotlights shine on moonlit nights Everything’s going to be alright I wouldn’t let you down I just couldn’t let you down It’s a shame it’s the same every time around Stars fall We’re the only ones who’ll ever know the score We take it with us everywhere we go Spotlights shine on moonlit nights Everything’s going to be alright

I Keep Forgetting So you say that you’re on your own Well my mind works overtime when I’m alone So you say that there’s no-one else I like myself better when I’m by myself No-one else I keep forgetting I promised everything to you So you think that I’m all demands I’ve still got blood on my hands, I understand So you think that we’re almost there I’m somebody who is supposed to care When you’re not there I keep forgetting I promised everything to you No more thinking, dreaming, drinking One day at a time No excuses, homemade nooses One day at a time Maybe tomorrow I’ll look in the mirror Maybe I’ll see the face I remember looking back at me So you feel that I need to grow I was told I’m supposed to go if I don’t know So you feel that it’s black and white You don’t know what’s wrong or right Say goodnight I keep forgetting I promised everything to you

It’s All Nothing I took a trip to find myself I came back being somebody else While looking for a way to blow my mind I discovered that my soul got left behind somewhere I discovered that my soul got left behind somewhere The chaos and confusion Were the order of the day My mind spun its illusion And nearly blew itself away It’s taken time to realise the navel gazing way of life Is gonna burn down all of your dreams And blow the smoke in your eyes Smoke in your eyes Maybe Jesus loves you The rest of us want you to crawl Credit where credit is due You don’t owe nothing at all Nothing at all Be good with what you’re given Keep the hounds at bay The walls don’t make the prison No matter what they say It’s taken time to realise My old mind was telling lies Where I was blind I can see I can see Maybe Jesus loves you The rest of us want you to crawl Credit where credit is due You don’t owe nothing at all Nothing at all
