1.A Letter To Elise
Oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this
Oh elise it doesn't matter what you do
I know i'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
At least i'd lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
From me and you
There're worlds to part
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the prayers your hands can make
Oh i just take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh i throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round
Yesterday
I stood and stared
Wide-eyed in front of you
And the face i saw looked back
The way i wanted to
But i just can't hold my tears away
The way you do
Elise believe i never wanted this
I thought this time i'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
But i let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out...
Oh elise
It doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this
And every time i try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as i pick it up
It suns away through my clutching hands
But there's nothing else i can really do
There's nothing else
I can really do
At all...
2.Catch
Yes i know who you remind me of
A girl i think i used to know
Yes i'd see her when the day got colder
On those days when it felt like snow
You know i even think that she stared like you
She used to just stand there and stare
And roll her eyes right up to heaven
And make like i just wasn't there
And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And i used to sometimes try to catch her
But i never even caught her name
And sometimes we would spend the night
Just rolling about on a floor
And i remember
Even though it felt soft at the time
I always used to wake up sore
You know i even think that she smiled like you
She used to just stand there and smile
And her eyes would go all sort of far away
And stay like that for quite a while
And i remember she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And i used to sometimes try to catch her
But i never even caught her name
Yes i sometimes even tried to catch her
But i never even caught her name
3.Close To Me
I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish i'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me
Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until i shake
But if i had your faith
Then i could make it safe and clean
If only i was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish i'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me
But if i had your face
I could make it safe and clean
If only i was sure
That my head on the door
Was a dream
4.Fascination Street
Oh it's opening time
Down on fascination street
So let's cut the conversation
And get out for a bit
Because i feel it all fading and paling
And i'm begging to drag you down with me
To kick the last nail in
Yeah i like you in that like i like you to scream
But if you open your mouth then i cant be responsible for
Quite what goes in or to care what comes out
So just pull on your hair
Just pull on your pout
And let's move to the beat
Like we know that it's over
If you slip going under
Slip over my shoulder
So just pull on your face
Just pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on fascination street
So pull on your hair
Pull on your pout
Cut the conversation just open your mouth
Pull on your face pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on fascination street
5.Friday I'm In Love
I don't care if monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and wednesday too
Thursday i don't care about you
It's friday i'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's friday i'm in love
Saturday wait
And sunday always comes too late
But friday never hesitate...
I don't care if monday's black
Tuesday wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's friday i'm in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday wednesday stay in bed
Or thursday watch the walls instead
It's friday i'm in love
Saturday wait
And sunday always comes too late
But friday never hesitate...
Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's friday
I'm in love
6.High
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
When i see you sky as a kite
As high as i might
I can't get that high
And how you move
The way you burst the clouds
It makes me want to try
And when i see you sticky as lips
As licky as trips
I can't lick that far
But when you pout
The way you shout out loud
It makes me want to start
And when i see you
Happy as a girl
That swims in a world
Of magic show
It makes me bite
My fingers through
To think i could've let you go
And when i see you
Take the same sweet steps
You used to take
I say i'll keep on holding you
My arms so tight
I'll never let you slip away
Do do do do do do (x 7)
Da da da da da da
And when i see you
Kitten as a cat (ow)
Yeah as smitten as that (ow)
I can't get that small
The way you fur
The how you purr
It makes me want to paw you all
And when i see you (do do do do)
Happy as a girl
That lives in a world (do do do
Do) of make-believe (do do do do)
It makes me pull my hair all out
To think i could've let you leave
And when i see you
Take the same sweet steps
You used to take i know
I'll keep on holding you
In arms so tight
They'll never let you go (never let you go)
7.Hot Hot Hot !!!
The first time i saw lightening strike
I saw it underground
Six deep feet below the street
The sky came crashing down
For a second that place was lost in space
Then everything went black
I left that basement burning
And i never went back
The second time i saw it strike
I saw it at sea
It lit up the fish like rain
And rained then down on me
For a second that boat was still afloat
Then everything went black
I left it underwater
And i never went back
Hey hey hey!!!
But i like it when that lightning comes
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes i like it alot
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes i'm jumping like a jumping jack
Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
Feeling hot hot hot!!!
The third time i saw lightening strike
It hit me in bed
It threw me around
And left me for dead
For a second that room was on the moon
Then everything went black
I left that house on fire
And i never went back
Hey hey hey!!!
But i like it when that lightening comes
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes i like it alot
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes i'm jumping like a jumping jack
Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
Feeling hot hot hot!!!
8.Just Like Heaven
'show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream' she said
'the one that makes me laugh' she said
And threw her arms around my neck
'show me how you do it
And i promise you i promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you'
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways i had
To make her glow
'why are you so far away?' she said
'why won't you ever know that i'm in love with you
That i'm in love with you'
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl i loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
9.Lovesong
Whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
Like i am home again whenever i'm alone with
You you make me feel like i am whole again
Whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
Like i am young again whenever i'm alone with
You you make me feel like i am fun again
However far away i will always love you however
Long i stay i will always love you whatever
Words i say i will always love you i will always
Love you
Whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
Like i am free again whenever i'm alone with
You you make me feel like i am clean again
However far away i will always love you however
Long i stay i will always love you whatever
Words i say i will always love you i will always
Love you
10.Lullaby
On candystripe legs spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly! a movement in the corner of the
Room! and there is nothing i can do when i
Realise with freight that the spiderman is having
Me for dinner tonight
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps
Closer now closer to the foot of the bed and
Softer than shadow and quicker than flies his
Arms are all around me and his tongue in my
Eyes 'be still be calm be quiet now my precious
Boy don't struggle like that or i will only love
You more for it's much too late to get away or
Turn on the light the spiderman is having you
For dinner tonight'
And i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand
Million shivering furry holes and i know that in
The morning i will wake up in the shivering cold
And the spiderman is always hungry...
11.Mint Car
The sun is up
I'm so happy i could scream
And there's nowhere else in the world i'd rather be
Than here with you
It's perfect
It's all i ever wanted
Almost can't believe that it's for real
I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile
And a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
Birds sing we swing
Clouds shift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything i wished...
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again?
I know we should!!!
The sun is up
I'm so fizzy i could burst!
You wet through and me headfirst
Into this it's perfect
It's all i ever wanted
Ow! it feels so big it almost hurts!
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more?
I know we should!!!
It will always be like this
Forever and ever
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time? i know that we should!!!
12.Never Enough
However much i push it down
It's never enough
However much i push it around
It's never enough
However much i make it out
It's never enough
Never enough
However much i do.......
However big i ever feel
It's never enough
Whatever i do to make it real
It's never enough
In any way i try to speak
Never enough
Never enough
However much i try to speak
It's never enough
However much i'm falling down
It's never enough
However much i'm falling out
It's...never...enough
Whatever smile i smile the most
Never enough
Never enough
However i smile i smile the most
So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it over just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
Whatever i do it's never enough
It's never enough!
However much i push it down
It's never enough
However much i push it around
It's never enough
However much i make it out
It's never enough
However much i do
Never enough

Never enough
However much i'm falling out
Never, never enough!
Whatever smile i smile the most

So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it over just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
Whatever i do it's never enough
Never enough!
So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it over just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
Whatever i do it's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never, it's never enough
13.Pictures Of You
I've been looking so long at these
Pictures of
You that i almost beleive that they're real i've
Been living so long with my pictures of you that
I almost believe that the pictures are all i can
Feel
Remembering you standing quiet in the rain as
I ran to your heart to be near and we kissed as
The sky fell in holding you close how i always
Held close in your fear remembering you
Running soft through the night you were bigger
And brighter and wider than snow and
Screamed at the make-believe screamed at the
Sky and you finally found all your courage to
Let it all go
Remembering you fallen into my arms crying
For the death of your heart you were stone
White so delicate lost in the cold you were
Always so lost in the dark remembering you
How you used to be slow drowned you were
Angels so much more than everything oh hold
For the last time then slip away quietly open
My eyes but i never see anything
If only i had thought of the right words i could
Have hold on to your heart if only i'd thought of
The right words i wouldn't be breaking apart all
My pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you but i
Never hold on to your heart looking so long for
The words to be true but always just breaking
Apart my pictures of you
There was nothing in the world that i ever
Wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that i ever
Wanted more than to never feel the breaking
Apart all my pictures of you
14.Strange Attraction
It started with a dedication
'lost in admiration - happy birthday - i'm forever yours -
blossom'
Fared red inside a tiny book of butterflies
I smiled surprised at how when flickered through
The wings flew by spelled out my name
Six months went by the summer lost
Obsessively the letters dropped into my life
The same soft blood smooth flowing hand
'please try to understand - i have to see you - have to feel you
-
Tell you all the ways i need you - yours forever in love'
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
The year grew old incessantly she wrote to me
She'd started smoking poetry!
I laughed in recognition of a favorite phrase
She'd pulled me in...
I answered her
A christmas card in sepia
Arranging when and where
And how the two of us should meet...
Her opening so well prepared
A nervous smile
I couldn't take my eyes from her
She whispered
'can i use some of your lipstick?'
It was perfect so believable
I couldn't help but feel that it was real
And kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
So alone into the cold new year without another word from her
I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring
But weeks went by with no reply untill once more my birthday
came
And with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same...
'i'm sorry - blame infatuation - blame imagination
I was sure you'd be the one but i was wrong -
It seems reality destroys our dreams - i won't forget you
blossom'
Fared red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes...
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
15.The 13th
(woman whispering) - ahh, this song's called the 'two chord cool
(man whispering) - i think i'm in love
'everyone feels good in the room' she swings
'two chord cool in the head' she sings
'a-buzz a-buzz a-buzzing like them killer bees'
Tell me this is not for real
Please tell this is not for real...
From time to time her eyes get wide
And she's always got them stuck on me
I'm surprised at how hot honey-coloured and hungry she looks
And i have to turn away to keep from bursting
Yeah i feel that good!
She slips from the stage
A foot no more
But it seems to take an hour for her to reach the floor
And the two chord cool still grooves
As she slides toward me smooth as a snake
I can't swallow, i just start to shake
And i just know this is a big mistake
Yeah but it feels good
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
But it feels good
But it feels good
It feels good
'if you want i can take you on another kind of ride...'
'believe me i would but...'
Deep inside the 'but' is 'please'
I am yearning for another taste
And my shaking is 'yes'
'you will be all the things in the world you've never been
See all the things in the world you've never seen
Dream all the things in thea world you'll never dream...
But i think i get a bit confused...
Am i seducing or being seduced?
Oh i know that tomorrow i'll feel bad
But i really couldn't care about that
She's grinning, singing, spinning me round and round
Smiling as i start to fall
Her face gets big, her face gets small
It's like tonight i'm really not me at all
And it feels good!
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
It feels good!
16.Why Can't I Be You
You're so gorgeous i'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet
To where your head begins
You're so perfect you're so right as rain
You make me
Make me hungry again
Everything you do is irresistable
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't i be you?
I'll run around in circles
Til i run out of breath
I'll eat you all up
Or i'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful
Too good to be true
You make me
Make me hungry for you
Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't i be you?
You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten i'm bitten i'm hooked i'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue
You make me
Make me hungry for you
Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
Why can't i be you?
Why can't i be you?
Why can't i be you?
17.Wrong Number
Lime green lime green and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the snakes im seeing
Lime green and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams
Lime green lime green and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the snakes im seeing
Lime green and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams
It gets to friday and i give you a call
'you know im getting kind of worried
No she doesnt seem herself at all...
Lime green and a sickly kind of orange
I've never seen her like this before...'
I had the best laid plans this side of america
Started out in church and finished with angelica
Red and blue soul with a snow white smile
'can you dig it?'
I had the best laid plans this side of america
Started out in church and finished with angelica
And now i dig in the dirt
And i'm down here for a while...
You've got to make up your mind and make it soon
Is there room in your life
For one more trip to the moon?
Is there room in your life
For one more?
Burn red burn red red and gold
Are the deep dark colours of the snakes i hold
Burn red burn red and gold
Are the deep dark colours of the devil at home
'she pulls me down just as i'm trying to hide
Grabs me by the hair and drags me outside
And starts digging in the dirt...
For a not so early bird it's the only way
For her to get the worm...'
I had the best laid plans this side of america
Started out in church and finished with angelica
Red and blue soul with a snow white smile
'can you dig it?'
I had the best laid plans this side of america

And now i dig in the dirt
And i'll be down here for a while...
'hello? are you still there?'
'hello? are you still there?'
...and much too late...
'sorry, wrong number'
