The Smile
Got to make headway
Cut yourself free
Make us laugh again, then
Help you spend some more money
Now how do you feel?
Forget about up there
And the share
For you’re now in exile
From this place you know as misery
So now, how do you feel?
We’re not composed enough to stay
And you expose us when you say
We’re all smiles
When you need me
Lights down, I’ll help you spend some
More money
Now how can you feel?
Forgot about up there
And her (stares?)
And now you’re missing
This place you know as misery
Because you know,
You know how that feels
We’re not composed enough to stay
And you expose us when you say
We’re all smiles
We’re not composed enough to stay
And you expose us when you say
We’re all smiles
When you need me
It’s funny to see you warming to it
You’ve lost yourself again
And you just had to go down
To rise back higher
And you have got to stay in and around
We’re not composed enough to stay
And you expose us when you say
We’re all smiles
In the smile
In the smile
When will you need me?
Need me
When will you need me?
Need me
When will you need me?
Miyako Hideaway
Comes with the feeling of being left
It’s the feeling of hate
And the sickening sense you can’t make it
By yourself
Losers haven is the place I’m staying
Could be lovers but I would be paying
All our feelings should fall into place
How they don’t
Even though I
Even though I know
Even though I
Know everything I need to know about you
You still hide away
I watched the birds as they fly away
And you do too
I watch you searching for gain for yourself
Minds are cruel
Losers heaven will be coming up soon
Turns its ugly head and looks at you
There’s some things that
You just have to see
Follow me …
Even though I
Even though I know
Even though I
know everything there is to know about you
You still hide away
You still hide away
You still hide away
I know everything I need to know about you
You still hide away
Now we all are calling
But your way past listening
And your heart is freezing … us all
Even though I … etc.
Sparkle
Oh someone has just excited me
And made me know where I want to be
Where are you now?
But this sparkle couldn’t stand the chill
In the darkest room of our world
Where am I now
And everywhere we go
We always run
From what I don’t know
And we think we have the answer
Ah, but we’ve not
And now we’ve been on our own for ages
So what have we done?
She broke many people with her ways
Your pale eyes water as her body decays
She’s on her way down
Forget about her, all in a bath
But these words are scratched on her chest
“Where are you now?”
And everywere we go
Whether we run walk or crawl
You turn to me and I still don’t know
And we think we have the answer
But we’ve not
And now we’ve been on our own for ages
So where do we go?
Now she’s convinced she’d found the exit
But it’s to what?
She says “The things that you don’t know”
“Things that you don’t know”
Now she knows I know that she knows
But she can’t see that I do
And she thinks she has the answer
Ah, here she comes
But she’s been on her own for ages
And what has she done?
And she’s convinced she’s found the exit
But it’s to what?
She says “The things that you don’t know”
“The things that you don’t know”
Oooh the things that you don’t know
When I’m feeling low
Is That So?
Look at my face
Do I look as though I still need you?
There’s a time and a place
And it’s neither
Now what can you do?
Something’s happening
And the same thing will
Happen to everybody
Now I need some space
Cos I just don’t see how we can go on
Now if I wanted
All I needed
I’d be doing fine
I look at your face
I can see I’m not the flavour today
I will try and keep with your pace
But I’m scared the only one left
Will be me
Sight right out of phase
Soon to be coming down
I will always find a way
Of bringing these things that
Fuck up my day
Something’s happening
And the same thing will
Happen to everybody
Now I need some space
Cos I just don’t think that we can go on
Now if I wanted
All I needed
I’d be doing fine
Now if I wanted
All I needed
I would be doing fine
Don’t look at my face
I’ve seen you do it to people you hate
Something’s happening
And the same thing will
Happen to everybody
Now I need some space
Cos I just don’t see how we can go on
Now if I wanted
All I needed
I’d be doing fine
I’d be doing fine
Would be doing
Would be doing just fine
What Are We Waiting For?
When I feel the same
And our love in phase
Then you and I
We’re not ourselves
And our love it fades
And when the moods begin to turn
And it’s only you who’s late hey
Allowed to fall into the end
But it’s only if you wait
Hey
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for now?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for now?
As we decide what we want
And we get it all and then we’ll change
Our minds again
Don’t you do as I do
Do as I say
And you’ll be ok
Feel the same
And our love you praise
Then you and I
We find ourselves
But our love still fades
And as the moods … etc.
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for now?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for now?
As we decide what we want
And we get it all and then we’ll change
Our minds again
If you don’t do as I do
Do as I say and
You’ll be ok
Waiting for …
What are you waiting for now?
What am I waiting for?
What am I waiting for now?
I will decide what I want
And I’ll get it all and then I’ll
Change my vice again
I won’t do as you do
Do as you say and
You’ll be ok
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for now?
Ooh ooh
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for now?
Ooh ooh …
All Of These Days
And it seems as though
You’re going forward, ignore your problems
But you’ve left us without
A piece of you
That we need to use
To get to you
And to get some attention
But you refuse to give yeah
But then oh, on we go
Oh on we go, until we find someone
Until then
All of these days, days, days
They blend into something
Into something in the colourful nineties
All of these days, days, days
They blend into something
Ninety something
Now keep going forward
Ignore it all but
Leave us some of you
Because I need to abuse
Myself by the grace of your presence
But just please don’t leave me here
But then oh, so on it goes
Oh on it goes, until we find someone
Until then
All of these days, days, days … etc.
But then oh, so on it goes
Oh on we go, until we find someone
All of these days, days, days
Oh they blend into something
Into something in the colourful nineties
All of these days, days, days
They blend into something
Ninety some
Ninety some
Something
The Powder Room Plan
You leave in a taxi
Early morning
Come find me and break me
Then goodbye
All of a sudden
You’re back with us again
Hello again
I see you’ve been falling
But here we go
We’re on our own again
Whatever it takes to get you back
In my powder room plan
But you’ll take my ideas
And you’ll use them against me
I’ll do everything I can
Whatever it takes to get you back
In my powder room plan
You can take my ideas
But you’ve got to be with me
But anyway
Wrapped into music
Scared I’d be sick
I watched you dancing
And fell deeper
So we land in the powder room
Full of mirrors so there’s more of you
But all too soon you’re all on your ways
And then again we go
We’re on our own again
Whatever it takes … etc.
It’s over
It’s over
It’s over
Oh don’t you tell me
That it’s all over
It’s all over
Whatever it takes to get you back
In my powder room plan
Whatever it takes to get you back
In my powder room plan …
I was waiting
(I’m waiting)
For something
(For something)
But nothing is all in your plan
The Program
So here we are
Taking everything as it comes
Making plans
And making flaws
From what you see
Numbing things that will make you dream
When nothing around you is real
Ever get the feeling you’re losing control?
You make mistakes that enhance
The taste of your lows
Ever get the feeling you’re losing control?
Your thoughts are spaced
And there’s not that much that you know
Then we’re back again
In the think of it all
Are you feeling small?
From what you’ve seen
Tell me things
Show me where you’ve been
I’ve been here
Just doing my thing
Ever get the feeling you’re losing control?
You make mistakes that enhance
The taste of your lows
Ever get the feeling you’re losing control?
Your thoughts are spaced
And there’s not that much that you know
What do you want?
Now we’ve lost all sense of the programme
What do you want?
Can you tell me something else I don’t know
Ever get the feeling you’re losing control?
You make mistakes that enhance
The taste of your lows
Ever get the feeling you’re losing control?
Your thoughts are spaced
And there’s not that much that you know
Losing control …
Strangers
And now you’ve faced it, ran away
Tried it all and deserved
And now the places you love are
The places I hate to go
Lost in music that can send
You to sleep
She’s been lonely like
You wouldn’t believe
Wrapped up with games to play
Now she drinks all day
But she’s fine, she’s fine
She’s fine, she’s fine
You’re no stranger
To all of us here
Who are not there anymore
And then you wonder
Why all of your days
Are blue
Now she spends the weekends
Making her minds bend and reveal it
And now the drunken love
Is the only love that she knows
Lost in a time warp
More surreal than our Eddie
She’s more lonely than
You could have believed
Sat in the Night & Day
Now she’s drinking again
But she’s fine ’cause she’s mine
She’s mine, she’s mine
You’re no stranger … etc.
I’m turning away now
I feel it, it’s coming
But you know we need each other
More than we need ourselves
She’s turning away now
Just cruising’s extremely boring
Ah but she knows we need each other
More than we need ourselves
You’re no stranger
To all of us here
Because you know we need each other
More than we need ourselves
You’re no stranger
And there’s none of it here
Because you know we need each other
More than we need ourselves
Ooh ooh
Because you know we need each other
More than we need ourselves
Comeback
Stop, so what have you done?
Stuck at the same point
All you do is sulk
Stop, what is it you see?
It’s probably nothing
In common with me
I’m not, not being fair
To pull up and bring down
On every trend
But you’ve not, you’ve not been there
All the time I’ve called out
I’ve looked everywhere
When you’re coming back
When you’re coming back
When you’re coming back for more
If you’re coming back
When you’re coming back
Wake me up
When you’re coming back x4
’Cos I can’t remember you here
Start do it and more of
You’ve folded enough times
You’re here to walk off
Start move your luck’s in
I can hear it, I’m seeing one thing
I’m not, and I’ve not been fair
To grind down and find out
All that you were
But you’ve not, you’ve not been there
All the times I’ve called out
I’m looking elsewhere
If you’re coming back
When you’re coming back
When you’re coming back for more
When you’re coming back
If you’re coming back
Wake me up
When you’re coming back x4
’Cos I can’t remember you here
Well I tried to get inside here
As she gazed up at the sun
Said she knows of an alternative way
With our miles stretched out behind her
Now she’s looking at me
Then she blew all my ideals away
(She says) Stop, you’re thinking too much
And not doing enough
Your head is too full
You’re making me uneasy
’Cos I have to think
Stirring it up
When you’re coming back x2
When you’re coming back for more
When you’re coming back
If you’re coming back
Wake me up
When you’re coming back x4
Wake me up
When you’re coming back x4
’Cos I can’t remember you here
Were you ever here x2
Were you ever here at all
Were you ever here x2
Maybe never
Were you ever here x4
Here …
