Secondhand Love
Tragic…she left you
And you’re on your own again
No-one to love you and fondle your ego
I suppose you’ll get back up and start again
Hold your breath and count to ten…million
The water’s rising high
And you might find that people drown
All for the sake of your love
A girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do to you
Cover yourself or your heart will get broke again
I suppose you’ll dust yourself off and try again
If at first you don’t succeed
Suckle me…I’ll give you victory
A musical vasectomy
All for the sake of your love
Hand in hand we stand as we hear the band
Say these words “oh I’ve had enough”
Gland in gland we’re bound for the promised land
For the sake of secondhand love
Hates you, she hates you
And you’ve been so good to her
It’s all in the way that she calls you a liar
I suppose you never gave her everything
And after all she needs things
Love stings
She thinks she’s overweight
And it’s too late to save her from her hatred
All for the sake of your love

Man Made
Haven’t you heard of the ghosts of dead angels
They cry put the kettle on
We’re just passing by
Oh we blame it on the fact that Elvis has died
Buy a tenner deal, we’ll cheat time
Defy the neighbours and we’ll get high…low
If we’re man made
What was his trade?
Was he alone?
Or was he a she?
It could have been me
Didn’t you know
Girls make the world
Sometimes I wish that the powers that be
Will just try a little harder to believe in me
Home is where the passion is
And love sets you free
Buy a bigger telly and you’ll see more
Wait a little longer and I’ll be there soon

One Down

Love is round the corner
My love is down the road
Even when she's with me she's a different postal code
She doesn't have the time and she's running out of space
She's burning down on empty in the solid mental grace
Across the lovely Pennines where we stop to take a rest
Her mind is always spinning in the strait jacket of stress
I tried to to touch her body, reactive to the soul
I'm leaving in the turmoil of attempt to make her whole
The path of most resistance is the way towards the sun
Take it easy baby one plus one is one and one

Tin Pan Alley
Joe
Just remember
That only in your dreams you’re running scared
And Joe
We’re listening
To all the nightmares of your new world
Joe
Where are you?
I’ve searched from Gloucester to Cockfosters
Think we all need some bright young spark
But all that glistens here are all the old ghosts
Night comes to all
Think I might fall
Upon this Damocles sword
So let’s fall
All praise this frame
If we all play this game
We’ll always lose it all
Hit
Or miss
And after all it’s only who you might kiss
Spend
Pennies from heaven
Gone like raindrops on the main road
Gay barrow boys
All make some noise
Down Holloway Road
As they go
Songs for the soul
Never grow old
Roll along prairie moon
Roll along
These Tin Pan Alley dreams
And all those crazy schemes
Are nothing more than mealy millionaires
This train from Liverpool
Took all your friends from you
You fill your pockets with your prose

One More Time
One more time (x2)
One more time
Let me watch you while you sleep my love
How sweet my love
You're next to me
And I touch the hand of God
It's all a fantasy
It'll always be the same for me
So come with me
I'll show you the make believe
All down my spine
It's the only way to drown
I'll show you the fantasy
It's up to you my love
I'll never let you down
I swear, so baby
One more time (x2)
Boy for sale
Who will buy this tainted meat
This unclean chemistry
My sell by date
Has expired and gone to hell
This boy is freedom
And it tastes of putrid poison
So come with me etc
I'm surrounded by people
Who wish they were dead
And most of the time they sleep in my bed
Misery spreads like a stain on the sheets
Like a well fucked slag we get bored every week
Fuck me again I don't care who I am
'Cos I'm old and I'm cold and I need to pretend that you care
So baby
Come with me etc
One more time (x4)
