-------------------------------------- Come Back I hope you’ve had some time to get on with yourself And figure out what’s going on I know you needed space to be all by yourself Or was it with some other one Now can you come back Can you come back To me Can you come back Can you come back To me I said I hoped you were becoming someone else I didn’t mean it to suggest That who you are right now is not enough for me I have to learn to take some care Now can you come back Can you come back To me Can you come back Can you come back To me I had a really strange reaction Delayed I think by simple fear If I don’t listen, I can’t hear Come back To me I had a really strange reaction I didn’t really think you’d go If I don’t listen, I don’t know And this is really a fixation When you were here I couldn’t breathe I couldn’t wait for you to leave Come back I Need Real (Love) It’s sad to say I never really loved you anyway It was the look That once again for love I mistook Oh and I know Whilst terrified by what I might feel I need real LOVE I’m used to it The thing that really is not the shit And will drag on Anything that’s comfortably wrong Oh but I know I couldn’t really live with that deal I need real LOVE I’m asking now for intimacy, love and the wow Hey universe I’m ready now go ahead and disperse Hey, so I say With heretofore unknown zeal I need real LOVE I Remember I remember now White house, far away On the underground Or the bus on nicer days I can see you now Stood there, that pinafore I remember how You were what I knew for sure Every day from school Straight home, I would go From an abject fool To the centre of the show I can see you now Those pale rock pool eyes I remember how You gave me something mine It’s the strangest thing I can always hear your voice In everything In every decent choice I can see you now I’m put in mind of you In a world so sad You are a constant good I can see you now it’s from that photograph I remember how You set me on my path So This Is Heartache So this is heartache I’ve heard about it I know a thing or two at best Is it any wonder They sing about it It’s your whole world in on itself And do I ever feel the pain I think I’ll never be the same So this is heartache, all over again So this is heartache, all over again I was the bounder Had it my own way I would think only of myself Then came the one girl Became my whole world And now she’s gone for good this time And do I ever need a change I think I’ll never be the same So this is heartache, all over again So this is heartache, all over again There’s a rose And then it’s gone And I do ever feel ashamed I thought that love was just a game So this is heartache, all over again So this is heartache, all over again Worst Two Weeks of My Life With the stopping of the drinking Comes an awful lot of thinking Will I ever be the same Now that I am sober Can I offer you a soda Will I ever be the same There’s a type who thrives on instruction That’s not me And there are those who love the self destruction Well maybe, that’s me When you come and see me You will have to see the real me I’m a catalog of shame When you coming over we can share a coca cola Will I always be this lame There are those who get with the program Eventually And there are those who do it on their own man Eventually Let’s see With the stopping of the drinking Comes an avalanche of thinking Will I ever be the same When you come and see me It’ll have to be for green tea Will I ever be the same Baby It’s You Can I find a way to get back in now It’s been a long long long long time But I have a notion where I’m going And a picture in my mind Baby it’s you I’m looking for Baby it’s you That I want Baby it’s you I’m crying out for Baby it’s you That I love I don’t like the way that I’ve been living Treading so carefully Over anyone who’s a reminder Of the thing I really seek Baby it’s you I’m looking for Baby it’s you That I want Baby it’s you I’m crying out for Baby it’s you That I love It can start to really weigh you down When you are the only game in town It can start to really break your heart It’s you I’m dying for Baby it’s you That I want Baby it’s you Baby it’s you Baby it’s you I’m looking for Make Up Your Mind I never have anyone that I can’t let go I never have any feelings that I show I’m doing ok But I shouldn’t carry on this way Better make up my mind I never go anywhere that I can’t escape Never take any chances that I make I’m getting upset It’s just like me to get so vexed Can never make up my mind Never drop an emotion that I hold Never let any out till I might explode The pattern is strong It’s been going on way too long Better make up my mind I’m given a choice But I’m gonna listen to which voice Cannae make up my mind It’s one of the two But that means giving up one too Can never make up my mind The Game I fell into that place the other night Where you and I would hold each other tight And just my luck the jukebox played our song And how I thought of how you did me wrong But it’s all in the game It’s all in the game It’s all in the game I gave in to the wonder of it all And thinking I could love you after all But wedding bells were never gonna chime Still I think about you all the time But it’s all in the game It’s all in the game It’s all in the game What Do I know What Do I know... Of the game It’s all in the game It’s all in the game It’s all in the game Not What I Need You’re not what i need I’m sorry, I should’ve told you months ago I’d like to say we’ll still be friends But who would I be kidding You’re wasting your time I never gets better than it is right now It’s hope that really does you in It makes the best of everything You’ll be fine In time If you think it’s over then it is Same Old Song Upstate date Oh, you’re a little bit isolated You’re a little bit complicated Brooklyn Inn Oh, I’m a little bit melancholic You’re a little bit alcoholic I know, I know (Same old song) I know, I know (Feels all wrong) LA stay You’re a little bit disconnected I’m a little bit affected Paris ennui You’re a little bit afflicted I’m a little bit addicted I know I know (Wrong again) I know I know (Way off kid) I know I know (Feels all wrong) I know I know (Same old song)
