Purely platonic 03:44

PURELY PLATONIC Another Friday night And Im loosing sight of the week Setting my exposure Getting coated so to speak Mirror mirror mirror On the cupboard door Whats this spread Between my face and the floor Is it looking alright? Bare in mind the bad light in here It had better be I’ve been here half the night Standing here looking at myself I cant help thinking of those girls The way they sent me sharp to hell When they said to me Chorus Hey hey hey Im purely platonic Hey hey hey hey hey Im purely platonic Hey hey hey hey hey Im purely platonic Baby had a lover But wouldn't ever tell me where Folks swarming Cars are storming from the lights Take a left take a right Must have something to do with evening Raising delights I’ll be your friend if you’ll be mine Can I call you brother? That’s a bad sign I was too nice, all spliced Over did the niceties I did not see those masochistic tendencies Live and learn Lets adjourn from this retro-company I should have been a bastard every once in a while Hey what you think this is All I want to do is kiss As you looking at her chest she says to you Chorus … Baby had a lover Would never tell be where Baby had a lover at some unknown address Baby had a lover 200 miles away…

Loosing honey blues 04:21

LOOSING HONEY BLUES Honey Why d’you wear so much perfume Honey Why d’you wear so much perfume I can smell it in the kitchen Friday morning Through to Sunday afternoon Well precious sweet child Is that the dress you intend to wear ‘Scuse me for saying it But I can see you heart beating under there I can see your rose tattoo Fact I can see it through your underwear Oh Sugar, Sheet Pill Why d’you shake your hips so hard Just like when you first hooked me Reeled me in and bashed my brains out on a rock Well I wouldn’t mind so much But you aiming ‘cross there somewhere in the dark The Sunday papers tell me You don't love me any more They had sixteen pointed questions I could only answer four I can see now why you’re leaving Come, let me help you through the door My Daddy was a poet He said son, if you’re ever faced with a choice Choose the one Where you can hear gratitude in her voice The one time you don't hear it Take a bus, train, car, or bike… to the city of your choice. Honey Why d’you ware so much perfume Honey Why d’you ware so much perfume I can smell it in the kitchen Friday morning Through to Sunday afternoon

What you said to him 03:32

WHAT YOU SAID TO HIM I wont recognise your face by Saturday And for the difference that makes We might as well forget about the ballads and Retire straight away Though the story’s not the same As ‘tween the Princess and the bull frog (It might have been) The main attraction Being the disappearance Of your friend’s car Don’t say to me What you said to him Don’t put me as low As I know you've been At home, away, in passing or In spite of it What’s the difference these days You get as drunk or down As you can get Without disgusting yourself I know that you had no desire To be insipid Your line on life looked straight But sadly turned out crooked Don't say to me What you said to him Don't put me as low As I know you've been So… I wont recognise your face by Saturday And for the difference that makes Throw hope and chance at circumstance And scatter now Before we mess with our brains Though the story’s not the same As ‘tween the Princess and the bull frog (It might have been) The main attraction Being the disappearance Of your friend’s car Don't say to me What you said to him Don't put me as low As I know you've been Don't put me as low As I know you've been Don't say to me What you said to him

Love is... 04:25
lyrics
buy track
LOVE IS... Called up the Enquires At my station in life Said… I aint a begger But I will ask real nice How come I get to see This bitter track twice? Looks like this lightning Again struck on this bummer When the driver sees the thumber He says walk you creep And the thumber says See you you bastard When Im on… easy street Chorus Loneliness is just a state of mind Success is something someone else decides Humiliation’s only shattered pride But love Is intrinsically malignant… alright. Young man puts the actress Upon the living screen Another night of sadness They seem to come in weeks Woman takes you by the heart And shakes you up so wildly Friends are only friends On special nights… its so frightening Just to be thinking ‘bout The rest of your life Chorus Couldn’t stay like this Forever so upset Working through the day And nigh time feeling like this Could call on the occasionals But their sympathy is useless More indignation would just Cover you with bruises Its frightening to be thinking ‘bout The rest of your life Chorus

Second class feelings 03:54
lyrics

SECOND CLASS FEELINGS She was a good, clean, life-loving lass She cried when she heard about myxomatosis Displayed such a passion for being nice You couldn't help but like her Love she just snatched She cared for the doggies that strayed And the cats She cared for the foxes And lost habitats She only ate fruit And she thought even that Was being just a little barbaric Chorus But I've seen her Eating men for breakfast Crushing their heart Unmoved by (…and laugh at) their suffering With meanest ways to reject their attention Putting logical minds into Brownian motion Cruel enough to send them silently screaming Human beings Second class feelings Verse 2 I did try to meet you just like we planned With a week in my pocket Spoke in my hand But the bloke at the door Just wouldn't let me in I explained my tuxedo was being dry cleaned I begged and I pleaded Appealed to his heart He was too flaming big to do anything else I though this leader of men Might want you for himself Well there she is Mr go get her Chorus Verse 3 She was a good clean life-loving lass She was a good clean life-loving lass She was a good clean life-loving lass I did try to meet you just like we plane A week in my pocket and spoke in my hand

Navy blue 04:57
lyrics
buy track
NAVY BLUE When the blues Wipe their shoes In your face With the grace of a cancer You let yourself Deject yourself Wait for time To invent some excuses This is a most unnecessary And a heartless time of life Why cant all the adversaries Just leave you alone one night So you knew this town Was an open cast Where the miners Mine by night Tearing at the open face To find the fruits of their lives But you never thought you’d See yourself Kicking the precious stone To disturb the dirt That lay beneath And was generally Easier to behold Chorus Find the source that can make you believe All is nothing And its all the same And leaves standing here this way Believing there’s nothing so black As navy blue Did you ever feel Injected by The sour cream of life Degenerates And disenchanting gits On your stage All part of your life Musers, looses, teasers and users How much can rub off onto me Destitution and prostitutes Experience you should never have to see Chorus GCM Its not too much To ask you to understand I must be the softest touch You ever had hold of by the hand Chorus
