I Love You (Don't Laugh)

I LOVE YOU (DON'T LAUGH)
I love you but don't laugh
here's another heavy soft sound
I said it but don't laugh
there's nothing going on in my world now
that I don't feel a million times over
she loosens up at the bar
well coming up's always easy
you read me like a north star
I'm somewhere outside the city
while here you are
show me how much you care
don't don't don't laugh
I'll get red then
don't don't don't laugh
I'll be stupid
can I stick to what I said last night?
teach me to quit the crying
she said it's just I know what I like
she said my songs are better than me
then how come you're always in my hair?
don't don't don't laugh
I love you but don't laugh
there's something going on in my world now
I said it but don't laugh

Runaway Schemes
04:19
|
|||
she's got ripped jeans
and runaway schemes
it's Halloween in a week
things left over from last October
like photos of you and me
you're pale and red and a bit unsteady
and pretty when you sigh
she leaves the moments her mind had closed in
a woman without light
it was three a.m.
was I awake?
felt like sleeping in its own way
I walked over to her like no one
where'd you get those dead eyes that dream?
she was lonely enough to call me
a merry holiday
it's so quiet the whole city is lonely
and I'm bored
I get you down just to see you struggle
from under
but no tears, please
she's got ripped jeans and runaway schemes
I was on my way to your flat
off the A train then some blocks back
was a wind which cut through my beard
was the year when I grew it out
where'd you get those dead eyes that dream?
where'd you get those runaway schemes?
how'd you get so shot you can't scream?
where'd you get those dead eyes that dream?

Something Nice
02:06
|
|||
I think there's something nice about you
let me tell you soon
you're dressed to die with a black umbrella
don't you go too soon
you've got to be the father and boy
and know to push or pull her to joy
all we want's a little rule book
for the one we adore
I think there's something nice about you
let me tell you soon
I've got my mind in the middle of a punchline
can I tell it soon?
it's as good as it's going to get
I know you better than I did when we met
while I yawn through my masterpieces
I think of things you've said
where's our scrapbook of madness
we were supposed to do?
I think there's something nice about you
let me tell you soon
I poured my heart out on the back of a postcard
can you write me soon?

Angel
03:14
|
|||
self-aware in your arms
saw the rain pool
it's alcohol
I'm your heart
I'm your calling card
if you act I might snap
I've spoken it
gotten high to it
I'm a liar
I'm a writer
see you pass me for a cigarette
said a sweet thing
this is real to me
this is real to me
I can't figure out the everyday
navigating streams of consciousness
you're alone with the shit you do
angel to me
comes around to me
this is real to me
this is real to me

Pagan Prayers
02:34
|
|||
If I could come and go with the springtime
be no reason I'm in hell
I've got diamond rings
and I should feel fine
I could be anybody else
look where you're leaving me
in the rogue's gallery
say your prayers
meet by the chiming bells
who's keeping time in hell
make your way over
If I could come and go with the springtime
there's no reason I'm in hell
I've got nerves to tell you something so fine
I could be anybody else
far from feeling right
you get dark at night
pagan prayers
I said you don't know me
that's when you go to leave
well make your way back over, over
I'm sorry I lost my cool
wish I could come and go
wish I could come and go

Second Sight
02:42
|
|||
your touch is second sight
a lullaby
a child's high
even in the dark
black before the dawn
your eyes are infrared
seek me out
count to ten
chase me to the grave
promises erased
who could say who's more misunderstood
will I do what I said I promised I would
follow me around some and see
follow me around some and see
I'm sick
I'm pyscho sick
we're out of light
so stay the night
promises restored
feel the spinning world
the smoke is candlelit
a second chance
the choice to dance
is clearer than a wave
easy like a blade

I Know
03:09
|
|||
here on I'm wrong
I'll change my mind for you
then we're moving on
that's a good thing
that's a start
that's a soul you never sold
I know you just want someone to drink with
when you're all alone
but no one could cheer you up
you've been going a bit too hard
now you're down, down
I can show how to live
cos we've got cares to kill
I can know you inside out
but knowing is not to love
that's right I'm wrong
I can't seem to make any sort of call
it's a moving picture
it's a film I never saw
I know which song makes you look around
I'll put it on
these are lives getting old
it's a cigarette you never rolled
look around, I'm around
I can show how to live
cos we've got cares to kill
I can know you inside out
but knowing is not to love
I can show you

What We've Got
04:23
|
|||
how's your love?
it's a lot, she said
everyone wants what we've got
but you know I'm losing it
I'll walk home through the subway
through the cold
what to do with you
what to do with you
I'm not that nice to you
it's been wrong
it's a thing I'm working on
fix my hair
fix my songs
twenty years I'm no kid now
I could die
what to do with you
what to do with you
it's a song for the other side
you've been through
you didn't think you could
suddenly new memories
your late night face
the shot you couldn't shoot
I know you expected more
you wrote it on the bathroom mirror in red
when did we get so heavy?
just last year we were kids in bed
how's your love
it's a lot, she said
everyone wants what we've got
but I'm not so nice to you
it's all wrong
it's a thing I'm working on
what to do with you
what to do with you

Bootlegs
03:25
|
|||
if you're caught it's your fault
cos you have a name
I can't create
you're saved by doctors orders
the red in your eyes
the petals disguise
we laugh so hard at nothing
we do have a lot
plus all we forgot
well we can go to a doctor
see who needs rest
who's more depressed
a gun goes off by her ear
drinking bootlegs
blind drunk
a ray of light
she's striking matches for an army
you hang free out my window
looking around
hair hanging down
a man in a car
he can't help it
asks if you're well
but you'll never tell
the sun goes down in red and tangerine
you need more rest so stay in bed
a pretty play will rescue you again
a soldier marks a line in red
to cross in black while you're in bed

Season in Hell
03:09
|
|||
I've been patient too long
wicked you know
empty but strong
all nerves to tickle the sun
oh no my season in hell
neuro-city of light
wrote you a prayer
say it tonight
come around
I'll show you high
I am away from my body who's used
I'm an island
have I dreamt you?
and how have I hurt you
if you do the same
what you read is what you go write
dumb on a hill
a moment's delight
smokestacks, t-shirts in white
come around
I'll show you high
I'm like a pilot
I steer on course
there's always a reason
it's always of course
how are you gonna ask me
why am I lost
la la la

Joanne
02:56
|
|||
I know right
I know wrong
but I need your loving
I know either
I know or
but I want you together
Joanne
we were sad
you've got nothing to do with that
I remind you I understand
just cos I love you don't mean I can
Joanne
all my luck
stripped to the dumb
well well well
I need your loving
when you leave
it just takes a minute
and I'm such a fucking child
Joanne
with the light I'm worse off than I was last night
Joanne I'm aware
just cos you love me don't mean you care
I know right
I know wrong
but I need!
I know quiet
I know loud
but I want it all!

Point of Tears
03:57
|
|||
we're finding reasons to be
all the summer is a dream
it's about to be too much
first a look then a touch
a wave
we're living to the point of tears
we're living to the point of tears
but it's so hard to make a move
the youth that you and I abused
you're younger than I ever was
all those trips around the sun
my heart's still beating while I sleep
it's on a time you keep
oh hell
(every day I'm on)
we do our living in circles
we're living to the point of tears
we're living to the point of tears
but I won't always be so near
speak in code so I'll know
tell me soft where to go
here comes the devil from above
it's just a dream that I love
well well
we do our living in circles
when I looked I was surprised
to find so much in your eyes
but it's about to be too much
first a look then a touch
