Life on a Chain
I live on a chain and you share the same last name, as a
joke, I sent a bottle of whiskey, as you choked, I knew it
made you feel dirty, and I was waiting over here for life
to begin, I was looking for the new thing, and you were THE
sunshine heading my front-line, I was alone, you were just
around the corner from me. Time alone is good, I spend my
days in the city, dirty neighborhood, you know you’ll
never convince me, so I sold the town away, I couldn’t
wait to forget you, I was killed in half a day, I hadn’t
time to regret you, and I was waiting over here for life to
begin, I was looking for the new thing and you were the sunshine
heading my front line, I was alone you were just around the
corner from me. I, I’m still on the chain, and you,
had the same last name, as a joke I sent a bottle of whiskey
as you choked you said it made you feel dirty... waiting over
here, for life to begin, still looking for the new thing,
and you were the sunshine heading my front-line, I was alone,
you were just around the corner from me.
Strange Condition
Read me the letter, baby, do not leave out the words. Stories
and cigarettes ruined lives of lesser girls, and I wanna know,
‘cos I want you to know, and it’s a strange condition,
a day in prison, it’s got me out of my head and I don’t
know what I came for. Send me the money, baby, do not leave
out the wage. You know you’re the best thing ever to
come out of this place, hey I want you to know, ‘cos
I wanna know and it’s a strange condition, a day in
prison, it’s got me out of my head and I don’t
know what I came for, I want you to know... it’s a strange
condition, a day in prison, it’s got me out of my head
and I don’t know what I came for, I want you to know,
I want you to know... so leave out the others, baby, say I’m
the only one, cut out the uniforms and settle with the sun,
hey I want you to know, ‘cos I wanna know, and it’s
a strange condition, and life in prison, it’s got me
outta my head and I don’t know what I came for, I want
you to know... ‘cos I wanna know, yeah I gotta know...
Just Another
You and I, we’re two of a kind, I hate to say it but
you’ll never relate, what makes you tick? It makes me
smile. You said that I should get away from it all, and bury
my head in the sand if I want to, I think you…should
thank me now. You were lying wide awake in the garden trying
to get over your stardom and I could never see you depart
us and you’re my baby, you’re just another girl.
I never mind the way I had to see ya, my working on a day
show never explains why I see you and I feel your pain. I
love to wear my work inside of my head, I can’t complain
but you should never react the way you did, I feel your time.
You were lying wide awake in the garden trying to get over
your stardom and I could never see you depart us and you’re
my baby… And you were lying wide awake in the garden
trying to get over your stardom and I could never see you
depart us and you’re my baby, you’re just another
girl, just another girl.
Black
Black is a cast, and two is a crowd, and gold rim is an answer.
Black is a crowd. I am just for you, as you are not for me
so even if you stop, you’re sitting here by yourself,
you can never try to answer anymore, you can never start and
see what you’re doing to me. Kiss, they were the ones,
they dressed like something so special, and death is to begin,
caress, I think it’s a sin… I was alone, only
‘til you took me away, and you can never stop, you’re
sitting all by yourself, you can never try to argue anyone,
you will never stop and see, what you’re doing to me.
I’m alone, while he was standing next to you, and days
prolong, yeah there was time, just you wait and see, waiting
for a bottle of truth, I’m just a lonely guy in my youth,
waiting for you is all I wanna do, so if you couldn’t
stop, you’re sitting all by yourself, you can never
try to argue anyone, you will never stop and see what you’re
doing to me, you can never stop, you’re sitting all
by yourself, you can never try to answer anything, you will
never stop and see, what you’re doing to me, what you’re
doing to me, what you’re doing to me, what are you doing
with me?
Lose You
I’m taking a ride off to one side it is a personal
thing. Where? When I can’t stand up in this cage I’m
not regretting. I don’t need a better thing, I’d
settle for less, it’s another thing for me, I just have
to wander through this world alone. Stop before you fall into
the hole that I have dug here, and rest even as you are starting
to feel the way I used to, I don’t need a better thing
(just to sound confused) don’t talk about everyone,
I am not amused by you. I’m gonna lose you, yeah I’m
gonna lose you if I’m gonna lose you, I’m gonna
lose you, yeah I’m gonna lose you if I’m gonna
lose you I’ll lose you now for good.
For Nancy (Cos' It Already Is)
And when you said I could not stay with you, that‘s
not the way you would have wanted to be, convince yourself
that everything is alright, ‘cos it already is. Don‘t
sell your heart and break just anyone, I want to run with
you through moorland fields, convince yourself that everything
is alright ‘cos it already is, so take your lessons
hard and stay with him and when your car crash comes don‘t
be mislead, convince yourself that everything is alright
‘cos it already is, yeah it already is, so take your
lessons hard and stay with him and when your car crash comes
don‘t be mislead, convince yourself that everything
is alright ‘cos it already is, yeah it already is,
so take him home.
Murray
I know a man who lives under his covers, uh uh uh uh uh
uh, lost his mind from the TV, now he’s playing G-d,
and somebody told him that he was no good at, uh uh uh uh
uh uh, he’s talking out of the left side of his mouth,
and he won’t follow these lines he’s drawn for
him, and he don’t want to try, seeing is believing,
Lord knows what he sees here every night. Three little boys
dress up in the morning, uh uh uh uh uh uh, come back home
from the school yard talkin’ bout Love, but on this
occasion the boys feel the same, something’s holding
them back there, I bet it was their mom, and they won’t
follow these lines he’s drawn for them ‘cos
they don’t want to try, seeing is believing Lord knows
what they see here every night. And we both know, that people
change when truth’s not part of their lives, I’ve
seen the love in their eyes, don’t say goodbye….goodbye.
I know a man who wakes up in the evening, uh uh uh uh uh
uh, lost his mind from the TV now he’s blaming G-d,
and somebody tolD him that he’s good for nothing,
uh uh uh uh uh uh, now he screen prints American T-shirts
through the night. And he won’t follow, these lines
they’ve drawn for him and he don’t want to try,
seeing is believing Lord knows what he sees here every night.
June
Pots and pans are indestructible. How do you respect your
room? If you hadn’t gone tomorrow, you could have
stayed on ‘til June. It’s alright if I was older,
it’s ok to lose your age, and I, want to follow you,
I do, I do. It’s another I could trust you, it’s
another thing to swear, I’m ok with all the others,
it’s just her I cannot stand, I’m old enough
to feel the way I do and I know that you are true, it’s
just a part of my genes. And I want you to know, it’s
hard to wait on, I’ll swallow you whole, wait kindly
in the next room. And you have stayed, a mile away from
me, and you will stay a mile away from me if you know what’s
good for you, you could have stayed until June.
Sense
Time flew away, but something won’t forgive it all,
days and weeks, let’s start from the beginning of a
life. She called today, pretending not to care at all, for
days and weeks, now he’s hanging from the ceiling, what
a life, oh what a life, was it a life? Is something wrong
with me? I show you things you’ve never seen. Is something
wrong with me? I show you things that you’ve only dreamed
of. I’m wide awake, I’ll drop you off for saying
that, for days and two weeks, it was you who was defending
such a lie, oh what a lie, was it a lie? Is something wrong
with me? I show you things you’ve never seen. Is something
wrong with me? I show you things that you’ve only dreamed
of. You never change, you never change. Is something wrong
with me? I’ve shown you things you’ve never seen.
Is something wrong with me? I’ve shown you things you’ve
never seen. Is something wrong with me? I’ve shown you
things you’ve never seen. Is something wrong with me?
I’ve shown you things that you’ve only dreamed
up. You never change, something won’t forgive it all.
Closet
Oh Billie I want you so, I’m trying to meet you. Too
many things they don’t know, too many repeatings, of
beatings, and I’m walking around your closet, I want
you to say my name again. So Billie I lost control, I’m
trying to meet you, too many things they don’t know,
too many repeatings of beatings, so I’m walking around
your closet, I want you to say my name again, so don’t
stop don’t stop don’t turn around,So Billie I
lost control, I’m trying to meet you, too many things
they don’t know, too many repeatings of beatings, of

On Your Side
I’m outside your house, 2 am it’s dark, so many
mistakes, come back home from bars, I am on your side, I just
want to tell you off. So many lies are taking hold, it’s
not your fault, there’s many scars, I am on your side,
it’s taken me a long time, I am on your side, I’m
on your side and I listen, yeah, I listen. Can you listen?
Now I’m listening. I am on your side, it’s taken
me a long time, I am on your side, I’m on your side.

Sleep Better
...calls him every day, he took a kind of vacation, was
heading for something, won’t leave her alone, twice
in every way, they lead a life you could forget now, it
wouldn’t be the last time, it better be the first
time. So she won’t sleep better alone, and he won’t
sleep better alone, no they won’t feel better alone.
They took the time to reflect, even as the competition,
is breathing every day. On top of a jealous home, she feels
she could connect it, he was an opinionated fool, he couldn’t
just pretend that she was there in the next room. So they
won’t sleep better alone, and she won’t sleep
better alone, and he won’t feel better alone. So she
won’t sleep better alone, and he won’t sleep
better alone, no they won’t feel better alone... Every
tie is gonna break, so they said you were a fake, don’t
try, don’t try, don’t try you’ll never
win, and you can never be him. So you won’t sleep
better alone, no they won’t sleep better alone, and
they won’t feel better alone. So she won’t sleep
better alone, and they won’t sleep better alone, no
they won’t feel better alone... calls him every day.
EZ
Only save, try to find another way, I’m taking what
I gave to you again. Some new day I could understand your
face, you could even hold my hand if you would like to.
It came up unexpected, I had to follow through and it’s
hard when you were working like you do. It was easy when
you were younger, you can put it back together, it was there
if you ever wanted it but you closed the door and said goodbye
for good. So this is a mistake, try to find a better way,
you were never fond of anything I said. Can we begin again?
Save it for another friend, I was happy in my life I won’t
pretend, every time you were expecting to reach out and
forgive this, I was hardened by the look upon your face,
it was easy when you were younger, you can put it back together,
it was there if you ever wanted it, but you closed the door
and said goodbye for good, for good… you were easy.
Simonize
Hey, don’t take your life away, I think you’d
rather stay, then follow me into the alleyway, we were passers
on the street, I never thought we’d meet until I said,
"How do you do, my love?", you’ll fall, you’ll
fall, hey don’t stop and turn away, I’m sure you’d
rather stay, than follow me into the alleyway, we were passers
on the street, don’t turn it into grief, just follow
me into disaster, you’ll fall, you’ll fall, fall….hey
don’t lock and turn away, lose your life today and follow
me into the alleyway, you should turn and walk with me, I’ll
even follow Him, in search of wretched grand disaster, simonize.
