Six Places

I been fooled by love, any trick would do
I been fooled six times by a girl like you
I spent days on end putting in the work
What a waste of time & my effort, but
No more
So if you don’t wanna love again, don’t wanna leave no traces
Here’s how to break your heart, in six places
I did speculate & I did invest
So much time in the girl I liked best
But I lost my cash, and I lost my mind
Cos I picked the wrong girl every time, but
No more
So if you don’t wanna love again, don’t wanna leave no traces
Here’s how to break your heart, in six places
I’ll no longer be a fool for love
That part of me has been taken care of
I went out back and took my heart
Smashed it six ways all apart
So if you don’t wanna love again, don’t wanna leave no traces
Here’s how to break your heart, in six places
Oh, if you don’t wanna feel again, don’t wanna see more faces
Here’s how to break your heart, in six places

It’s cold outside your window
But warm between your thighs
We both know what’s happening
But we leave it aside
Yeah it’s cold outside this evening
As cars roll down your street
We won’t join forces we just needed to meet
And I will find someone
Who stays with me all night
Yeah I will find somebody just right
We can’t look in our faces
And words would come out surprised
We both wanted something that’s so hard to disguise
And I will find someone who knows how hard I try
Yeah I will find somebody just right
The lines are blurred in your heart
The lines are blurred in your heart
Those ties are burned in your heart
Those lines are blurred
Its cold outside this evening
But warm between your sheets
We both wanted something
We’re not likely to repeat

Everything got harder now
Cos they’re all in fear of you
Knowing what they’re harbouring
Knowing what they’ll do
Come out wherever you are
Let ‘em see you bloom
Come out wherever you are
Come out and see it through
Everything’s so far away
Cos we’re never near the truth
Some things aren’t meant to stay
Something’s begin anew
Come out wherever you are
Let ‘em see you bloom
Come out wherever you are
Come out and see it through

Candlelight

You always had your faith, it wasn’t hard to find
I remember how your body was so close to mine
Can you feel my heart? You know it’s beating fast
And can you build my soul, and make it built to last?
Oh won’t you give me a sign cos there is nothing of mine
Now I’ve opened my eyes and admitted my lies
Give up give in and confess my sins
You know where I’ve been, you’ve seen what I’ve seen
Well can you keep me close? Don’t keep me at arms length
Oh exercise my ghost, and give me strength
Well can be my guide, and lead me on your string
Well to you I confide & tell everything
Oh won’t you give me a sign cos there is nothing of mine
Now I’ve opened my eyes and admitted my lies
Give up give in and confess my sins
You know where I’ve been, you’ve seen what I’ve seen
Can you be my candlelight, cos I have been so blind?
Well if you don’t shine too bright, I’ll be left behind
Won’t you give me a sign, cos there is nothing of mine?
I never had to ask, it was over so fast
Give up give in and confess my sins
You know where I’ve been, you’ve seen what I’ve seen
Can you be my candlelight, cos I have been so blind?
Well if you don’t shine too bright, I’ll be left behind

Universe

You could go as an alien or a space princess
Paint a few big bobbles on your dress and be the whole Universe
You could go wearing all black with gold on your face
All your milky way hair in a mess and be the whole Universe
Oh you know anything you wear is bound to impress
Show of hands will get a strong “yes” as you’re the whole Universe
Check yourself in the mirror this is a routine check
You depart at twenty past six and you’re the whole Universe
I cannot join you there no I’m lost in space
On the ground I’m nervous and depressed cos you’re the whole Universe
I would just watch you there with boys in your face
Lining up to join in the chase as you’re the whole Universe
When you come back to Earth if you wanna touch base
I’ll be here with an empathetic face as you’re the whole Universe

Night Fires

Falling over, getting tired of this fight
Rewinding
But they're all not out to get you
Are your friends not at your side?
And if you open your eyes let the light in
You'll see it all then
If you open your eyes let the light in
We'll set the night on fire
Learn the lesson, get the power in your hands
Break silence
When the world's all excitement
Find a way not to rewind
And if you open your eyes let the light in
You'll see it all then
If you open your eyes let the light in
We'll set the night on fire
We'll set the night on fire ...

I'll Forgive You
02:36
|
|

You gave me love
Much more than I’d taken
It left a swelling of the heart
But it was too much
& now left with an aching
Can’t pull the memories all apart
One day I will know what I want from you
One day I will see myself and all that’s true
and maybe then I’ll forgive you
You never stopped
You never stuttered
One little smile and you were gone
And I was rocked
By how much you mattered
But I just couldn’t catch on
One day I will know what I want from you
One day I will see myself and all that’s true
and maybe then I’ll forgive you
Somebody overheard you calling out for me
Convinced you always knew the right way out
Without a foot wrong
One day I will know what I want from you
One day I will see myself and all that’s true
and maybe then I’ll forgive you

On Your Side
03:53

How can you say what I did, when you couldn’t cope with the lie?
I stayed in your corner till you say ‘we’re through’
And it worked for a long time
How could you sound so unsure when you knew it only felt right?
I followed you over and you sent me back
Was the game for a long time
I was on your side
I was on your side
How can you tell me what’s wrong when you don’t know either what’s right?
The moment is over and so are we too
And the game for a long time
Now it’s feeding time
I was on your side
I was on your side
You say you don’t give
Until you wanna stop
Until you wanna stop

Upstairs Room

People come and people go
The trouble is that sometimes you don’t know who is meant for you
Some have holes and if they will
The trouble is knowing which ones you can’t fill, though they may want you to
Please let me in, cos I won’t always have friends like you
I can see what I did wrong, I took advantage of a good thing and it’s gone
What a fool I was
You’ve been there since I was small; I took for granted everything you’d done
Now I’m feeling lost
Please let me in, cos I won’t always have friends like you
Beg I'll, beg I’ll, beg I’ll, beg
What a thing to put me through, we got people laughing in that upstairs room
Making mistakes is what we all do. Cats have nine lives, all I want is two.
Please let me in, cos I won’t always have friends like you

Someone to talk to late at night
Someone who fits you right
Someone to listen to good albums with
Someone to pass the hours with
Someone who has good taste in cinema
A passenger for your car
Someone who makes your heart go boom boom boom
Someone you see across a crowded room
Someone who makes your heart jolt, not some okay girl
A real thunderbolt
Someone you won't have to settle for
Someone you'll want to battle for
Someone who claims you with her smile
Someone who makes it all worthwhile
Hey la la la la
Someone who makes your heart go boom boom boom
Someone you see across a crowded room
Someone who makes your heart jolt, not some okay girl
A real thunderbolt
Is it too much I'm asking for
If I want this I won't need more
Is it too much I'm asking for
If I want for this I won't need anymore
Hey la la la la
Someone who makes your heart go boom boom boom
Someone you see across a crowded room
Someone who makes your heart jolt, not some okay girl
A real thunderbolt

Girl Trouble
03:28

What was I aiming for?
I’ve wanted so much more
I’m tired of girl trouble
Me and this crazy world
Don’t make me wear this curse
Life would be so much worse
I’m tired of girl trouble
Me and this crazy world
That fiction on your lips
Brought with it so much risk
I’m tired of girl trouble
Me and this crazy world
Oh it’s just all this fuss
Want to hear reverse

Destroyer

I want you too much
You can not ignore it
It's getting so bad
At the beginning
Never to upset
It's out there as a warning
It won't ever rest
The trouble I'm keeping
I want you till death
And suffer while living
Do I love you, yes
Will I let you exist
