I Can't Be That Man

In the corner by the old tv, but I can't recognize your face
I haven't been here for a year or two cause' I thought that I needed my space
but slowly theres a wanderin' in my mind and it's you that I'm thinkin' of
but judging by the way that you spend your time its a push, and its a shove
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand
It's such a chore to be with someone that can't understand your past
if present is possessive of a future love then the parody is sure to pass
pass away from the kitchen in the afternoon, now I'm glad i didn't act so proud
cause it's you that I'm looking for to fill this void, its a sin but its aloud
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand, understand
Society tells me, it's a game of give and take
the feelings are clear now, but I failed to communicate
and when you tell me that it's me your thinking of
please be wary of my love.
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand
I can't be that man I can't be that man
I can't be that man I hope you understand.

Mom's makin' coffee on a southern plain
dad's makin' paintings that he can't explain
laughing out loud as a way to be cool
all star connections that you made at school
And at night do your oceans roar
how does it feel do you want some more
and what you're takin' are you takin' from me
it's just a debt to society
Cause I've seen things that will take you away
but you can see me loud and you can see me proud
I've seen things that will take you away
take you away
so please take me away
take me away, to a southern plain
take me away, southern plain
take me away, to a southern plain
take me away, southern plain.

I fled the scene with the gasoline and headed for Arachnid Junction
when I arrived, to my surprise, she was not at home
seven o’clock
the maid checks in
just to perform her function
as I checked out I took the phone and heard her say to me
that you grow so misinformed
of your function
and that you grow
so misinformed, do I care
but that I’ve grown
so misinformed of my function
and that you grow
like it or not, affordable
but not apparent to me
bloody hell, the Bishops here
and Bowie is dead again
oh seven o’clock
she comes again
just to perform her function
spitting all over all over again and then she stops to see me there
that you grow
so misinformed of your function
and that you grow
so misinformed, do I care
that I’ve grown
so misinformed of my function
and that you grow
all at the cost of the crossing guard
and I cannot feel my fingers
happy or not it’s affordable
but baby I cannot feel you there
oh seven o’clock
has come and gone
now I have a sense of function
copper wires will be stripped away and then I stop.

Lady In Red

Lady in red, you offer me
a place to lay my head
for hours and hours
and days and days
you favour me above
the ones you know and love
but all I do is scream for more
cause’ I’ve been down
most every road in town
and nothing seems too real
and fate has come
like bullets from a gun
the blood may spill today
Lady in red, lay down your head
theres things you shouldn’t see
it may be hard, when we are far
but theres something deep inside
that neither can deny
that only you and I can feel
cause’ I’ve become
addicted to the sun
and nothing seems too real
and fate has come
like bullets from a gun
the blood may spill today
cause’ love is hard to find
open up your bloodshot eyes
yes love is hard to find
open up your brainwashed mind
now honey
our love is hard to find
so open up your
brainwashed mind
yes love is hard to find
so I’ll leave my genius
shit aside
for you
for you

Amélie

You’re the star of the symphony
playin’ all your songs for me
oh I always used to wonder
what spell I was under and now
for years I’ve been trying to find
a purpose and some peace of mind
but when it comes to looking
under you sure don’t seem to mind
cause’ you believed in me
and I feel so lucky
now I’m part of you
and you’re the most important part of me
can’t you see, Amélie
so when I’m sittin’ under the stars
in a town not so far off
oh I just close my eyes
and I wonder what you might say
I can still hear your voice in my head
sayin’ god John, make your bed
and if the feelings get to much
well I know I can always let go
cause’ you believed in me
and I feel so lucky
now I’m part of you
and you’re the most important part of me
yeah the most important part of me
can’t you see, Amélie
oh Amélie, you blow me away with your sympathy
the way that I always have longed to be
it’s all that I want in the world you see, Amélie
oh Amélie,
you like The Beatles and bad TV
lavender, Marmite and gardening
you give me all that I’ll ever need
you give me all that I’ll ever need
you give me all that I’ll ever need
Amélie.

Layin’ around, in disguise
lookin’ back
at that look in your eyes
all of the time seems to hypnotize
you feel uptight
and so you improvise
It takes me back
you take me back
oh take me back
you take me back
playin’ around in the Autumn air
look at your face and makin’ sure you care
runnin’ around with your head in the clouds
knocking’ on doors,
who’s ever around
to take you back
you take me back
oh take me back
you take me back, 1-2-3
you take me back to the time when I hit my head
you take me back to the place where I wish I said
you take me back to the time when it was so blurry
now it’s so clear, that it’s all here
and I feel it comin’ round
it’s so clear that it disappears
and I feel I’m so profound
it’s so clear that it’s all here
and I feel I’m comin’ round
it’s so clear that it disappears
every time you come around
red and blue, tough with pride
but don’t forget how you feel inside
take it from me
you’ll never be free
until you take a good look at your chemistry
oh believe in yourself
cause there aint no one else
that’ll do it for you
when you start feelin’ blue
so get your feet on the ground stop messin’ around
and get your head down to the s-sound
you take me back to the time when I hit my head
you take me back to the place where I wish I said
you take me back to the time when I was so sorry
now it’s so clear that it’s all here
and I feel I’m comin’ round
now it’s so clear
that it disappears
and I feel it’s so profound
it’s so clear that it’s all here
and I feel I’m comin’ round
it’s so clear that it disappears
every time I come around.

I’ve been down
hunched beneath the sound
over blown
and somewhat out of bounds
the fever moon
pulls hard through show and tell
lovin’ you
brings me to this hell
oh well
open your eyes girl
it’s gone on way too long
we’ve come so far now but it’s time to move along
but look at yourself
you’ve become so strong
I sit here beside you
and sing our song
alive and well
around the prison grounds
you lose the shield
but gain the sword you found
we found
it’s a northern trait
I’ve come to know so well
in a blurry place
where cherry blossoms fell
in hell
open your eyes girl
it’s gone on way too long
I’m not right and
you know you’re not wrong
but look at yourself
you’ve become so strong
I sit here beside you
and sing our song
but it’s in me to give
feeble glory
all for the kin
mama to behold
you offer your warmth
feeling sorry
how bout’ me and you
look at yourself
you’ve become so strong
I sit here beside you
and sing our song.

1000 PEOPLE
I’ve seen a thousand people
living in their heads
they walk around in circles
deadened from their meds
but oh the alley’s cold and broken
I don’t say hello too much
but oh I am soft and outspoken now and way too, out of touch cause’
I can’t avoid it
it’s in my head
I can’t afford it now
it’s all been said
it’s a symphonic silence
ringing through the streets
meanings deepen
and thoughts explode
theres no reason to be discrete
but oh it’s just another black friday night
asleep here at my door
but oh the passive acts
of violence
leave me feeling so much more
cause’
I can’t avoid it
it’s it my heart
I can’t afford it now
cause it’s all been
it’s all been
it’s all over...
