Dear Friend
I don’t feel left out
I’ve a new life now
And I don’t think too much
What I’m missing out
We could keep in touch
Over sandwich lunch (pop out)
Kissing new friends now
And I’m smiling now (glow up)
My dear friend you can’t upset me
Live your life, no stone unturned
If you’ve loved enough
And you’re strong enough (cut out)
‘Cos the road is rough
If you don’t move on (drop out)
I don’t feel ashamed
If my bed’s unmade (sleep in)
She’s the same as me
Manic energy (creep in)
My dear friend you can’t upset me
Live your truth and nothing less
My dear friend you can’t upset me
Live your life and walk on by

Big Black Second-Hand Book
That big black second-hand book
That you swear keeps you safe
Gathers dust in the stay-at-home gloom
Time to be what you hate
Because it almost works
When you set aside your doubts and quirks
When you set aside the love that’s here
Those big words that you don’t mean
And all the love you can’t take
You never do the reasonable thing
And I can’t be your mistake
Because it almost works
When you set aside your doubts and quirks
When you set aside the love that hurts
Can’t you see us trying?
(All my love just overflows, each time I am all alone)

I See You
He comes and tears the place apart
Crosses his heart
And hopes to die
I see you
Wear the funny face
I see you
Run the easy race
I hear you
Laughing
Always
He comes and picks my world apart
Always the same
And I’m to blame
I see you
Play the game to win
I see you
Line the house of sin
I see you
Smiling
Always
I see you
Wear the funny face
I see you
Run the easy race
I hear you
Laughing
Always

You Love Me

You Love Me
No helping hand
Gravel caught in my palm
No back-up plan
No-one sounds the alarms
But you love me
Yeah you love me
Say you love me
High above me
Cars on the curb
Slalom through
Kick the dirt
Mum’s potting plants
Say the wounds never hurt
And you love me
Say you love me
And you trust me
And you love me
You respect me
Won’t reject me
If I be me
Will you see me
Can you feel me
Do you know me
Can you show me
Cos’ I’m happy
And you love me
And you haunt me
You respect me
And I’m happy
That you love me
And you see me

In The Night
In the night
I’m awake
Keeping busy
Sleeping late
That’s the time
That’s the time
I need you most
By my side
In the night time
Through the night
In the night
I’m afraid
Hearing laughter
People make
That’s the time
That’s the time
I need you most
By my side
In the night time
Through the night
I dream of you
I dream of you, dear
(dreamer little dreamer)

You're My Kind

You’re My Kind
My mind is made up
You’re my kind
Warm light rainfall
You’re my
Will you be my girl
Will you be my lover
If I give my heart
Completely
To you
Lost in blankets
Winter’s love
Words are magic
Tongue-tied love
My heart dances
You’re my kind
Endless glances
You’re my
Will you be my girl
Will you be my lover
If I share my world
Completely
With you
Lost in blankets
Winter’s love
Words are magic
Tongue-tied love
My mind is made up
You’re my kind

(instrumental)
Original buried lyrics:
So tell me 'bout your boy
Is he the baddest mouth in town
He'll pull you up to sit you down
He makes me hate myself
So proud to be a man
And wrestling with his hands
Did he mean to make you cry
Did he think the tears would dry
And if the whisky's on his breath
What sort of fight does he have left
He makes me hate myself

Are You Gonna’ Make Her Choose?
Well I know what I want
Let’s do it
If you’re coming on strong
You might lose it
Are you gonna’ make her choose
Are you gonna’ make her choose
Well I know what she wants
So let’s do it
There’s a space in between
Let’s cross it
Are you gonna’ make her choose
Are you gonna’ make her choose
Are you gonna’ make her choose
Are you gonna’ make her choose
Are you gonna’ make her choose
Are you gonna’ make her choose
No one left to phone

Bye Bye, Teddy

Bye Bye, Teddy
Bye bye, Teddy
Don’t expect a tear
I tread lightly
Always sing in fear
It’s free
It’s free
It’s free
It’s free
It’s free
Textbook baddies
Made the list this year
Almost flinching
Two more inches near
It’s free
It’s free
It’s free
It’s free
It’s free
Please make sure to
Tear the cord you’ll
Never make me cry
Again
Please be sure to
Keep my bedroom
Cold and dusty
Bye, I guess
Up the ladder
No-one’s forcing me
It doesn’t matter
If no-one can see
It’s me
It’s me
It’s me
It’s me
It’s me
Please make sure to
Tear the cord you’ll
Never make me cry
Again
Please be sure to
Keep my bedroom
Cold and dusty
Bye, I guess
Bye, I guess
