I MIGHT BE CRYING
What I didn't know back then
Was that I might be crying
It's such a simple sentiment
To steal the show
And what I didn't know back then
Is that I might be losing you
Yeah, I might be losing you
And still I wouldn't know
And now I suck up to the pale moonlight
Like it's gonna lead me home
And I shiver in my tired clothes
As if that could keep me warm
And now I stare across the dirty river
And I breathe this dirty air
And I'm sure upon this bridge I'll see you
'Cause I dreamt I'd kiss you up there
What I didn't know back then
Is how great the sin
How time goes so slowly
When you're cheating on a friend
And what I didn't know back then
Is that I might be needing you
Yeah, I might be needing you
The need it doesn't end
And now I stare across the dirty river
And I breathe this dirty air
And I'm sure upon this bridge I'll see you
'Cause I dreamt I'd kiss you up there
What I didn't know back then
Was that I might be crying
It's such a simple sentiment
To steal the show

BLOODLINES
You can't call hell a quiet town
But you walked so shell shocked
Have you found a way to stand?
Your head is high
You have, oh, such curious hands
Did they mention
Special faces
And your young mind
And foreign places
And I wonder where you come from
I know they have no answers
But their bloodlines
Can you call the land a friend?
You looked so hopeful
Have you found a way to send this soul
To, oh, such a curious end
For this sadness, am I made strong?
For my sadness must be shared by someone
And I wonder where you come from
I know I have no answers
But my bloodlines
To know that I am not the only one
To know that my love is for everyone
To hold it in my heart
To hold it in my heart
To hold it in my heart
And I wonder where you come from
I know I have no answers
But my bloodlines

WOMEN WHO CHEAT ON THE WORLD
Oh my,
When you are not all together
And you feel your face is a fiery place
For many tears
Who looks upon a picture and really feels a thrill
Oh, not me
Who looks into their past and feels they could leave
And you'd think by looking at his soul
That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world
Oh my,
When you are not really moving
And you feel your feet have been put to sleep
For many years
Who looks into a city and really feels at home
Oh, not me
Who looks into the dark and yearns to be free
And you'd think by looking at his soul
That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world
Boy
A lot of things are very simple
A lot of things are logical
When held into your hands
Boy
A lot of things are very simple
A lot of things are very simple
And they fall apart
When they fall apart
Oh my,
When you are not really living
And you feel your heart
Is the biggest part of all your fears
Who looks upon a love and really feels desire
Oh, not me
Who looks into themselves and likes what they see
And you'd think by looking at his soul
That it really is his woman who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world
Who'd cheat on the world

LEAVING THE PARTY
Give me a reason for leaving the party
I'll leave by the entrance
The same way I came
I'm not here to enjoy you
I'm here to endure you
I'm leaving the party the same way I came
It's so fine
Stormin' across the sea
It's alright
What the drunk is explaining to me
It's ok - I haven't seen anyone at all
It's all night I've been waiting
It's all night I've been waiting
Give me a reason for leaving the party
I'll leave by the entrance
The same way I came
I'm not here to enjoy you
I'm here to endure you
I'm leaving the party the same way I came
It's alright
These are my oldest suede shoes
It's alright
I feel Elvis-y, I get the blues too
It's ok, but I will pass upon this pipe
It's ok since I didn't see anyone tonight
Give me a reason for leaving the party
I'll leave by the entrance
The same way I came
I'm not here to enjoy you
I'm here to endure you
I'm leaving the party the same way I came
It's so fine
Sharing your stories with me
It's alright in explaining
I still get to sleep with me
It's ok - I haven't seen anyone at all
It's all night I've been waiting
It's all night I've been waiting
Give me a reason for leaving the party
I'll leave by the entrance
The same way I came
I'm not here to enjoy you
I'm here to endure you
I'm leaving the party the same way I came

FEEDING THE WITCHES
If I - won't be - able
To hold - a good - conversation
If I - feel - ing - and ballooning
If I - turn up - today
If I - can't be - appreciated
I - won't be - 'preciated - at all
And if I - look - red - and - confusing
Well I - am all - of the above
'Cause I've been
Feeding the witches, feeding them straw
Feeding the witches, the witches
The witches who live next door
They'd have no milk, they'd
Have no honey
You'd think they would prefer
Petroleum
You'd think they'd have rats eyes
Not like Aunt Sally
Yeah, you'd think
They wouldn't smile - just like your mum
Since I've been feeding the witches
Feeding them straw
I am falling for witches
The witches who'd live next door
They live next door, they live next door
If I - start wrong - too drunk - to continue
And - if I - can't shout
I can't do - things - I used to
I'll be
Feeding the witches, feeding them straw
I'll be feeding the witches
Yeah, I'll be joining the witches
Feeding them straw, I'll be
Joining the witches
The witches who live next door

HAPPY TAXI
Criss-cross laces
You have the centre
You have the cinnamon in the centre
You shouldn't be alone
You should just pick up yourself
And shine yourself
And make yourself fit a bran new maybe
In the side streets
You been walking
I have been walking too
So, you know the faces
You know how they'll flirt with you
Well I know my favourite language
Well it trickles down my mouth
If this is me being close to you
Being somewhere like the last night we spend together
That is something next to nothing
That is something
So, I got my truth of many colours
I got my fears
Another shade
But when I'm riding my happy taxi
I guess I got it made
Who's that creeping in the street there?
Who's that creeping by your window?
She might know something
She might show you some things
You never really want to share forever
Mean forever
'Cause it feels so slow
We drove out like something special
In our special rags
Well I know that something special happened
When we drive our sad to happy
We go driving
In our happy taxi, in our happy taxi
I am not the first street preacher
Not the first to want to lead you
Not the first to leave your money
Not the first to leave your home
Not the first to leave for ever
Glad to go when love has gone
So where am I going?
Where am I going tonight?
So where am I staying
In my happy moonlight
In my happy taxi, in my happy taxi
In my happy taxi, in my happy taxi
In my happy taxi, in my happy taxi
Would you drive on down?
Would you drive on down?
Would you drive on down?
In my happy taxi
In my happy taxi

MY LOVE TONIGHT
And I
Go dancing for a little
Have never felt so little
Fear the stars in their eyes
You feel them lie
So close
You never dare to breathe
You never dare the stars
In their eyes, their eyes
Am I?
Supposed to even say
Suppose I even say
I see they're lovers eyes
Their love - tonight
So loose
It never seemed so much
It never seemed so
So why? So why?
My love tonight
And I
Will never need this much
Will never see the moon so starry eyed
My love tonight
My love and I, my love and I

LOVERS IN THE CITY
I'd never call this an unpleasant situation
I'd never teach you how to lie
But sometimes I have been walking numb
And I must catch myself before I cry
Before I cry
I never call anything ugly
I never call anything strange and alone
I never want to take things lightly
Like they have never been my own
Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet
Oh don't - I haven't heard
But I know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is and isn't a lover in the city
I always thought I would be star bright
I always thought you'd feel it too
But sometimes I have been making conversation
And I must catch myself
Before I'm down, I'm down on you
I never think they would be scaring me
Scared couples in this cold
They look so fine in their eagerness
I wonder to myself just how they know
Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet
Oh don't - I haven't heard
But I know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is and isn't a lover in the city
I swear I'm staking out the whole world
I swear I'm staking out the whole world
I'm staking out the whole world
I could never entertain you
I'd be far too scared to try
But sometimes I have been talking dumb
And I forget myself and I forgot myself
And I don't ask, why?
Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet
Oh don't - I haven't heard
But I know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is and isn't a lover in the city

YODELLING SONG
The first time you stole flowers from the grave
Then the second time
You shaved your head you had been saved
By the very friendly, Jesus man
And all he said 'Well I'm your brother, man'
In the winter time, you
You wore patchwork hand-me-downs
In the summer time,
You were all bronzed while I was brown
And they didn't ask you where you got the candy
No, they didn't ask you where you got the tan
In the morning time
We played travels in the sea
In the evening time
We had reduced the sea to me
But your mother saved us from your daddy's hand
Yeah, your mother saved us from your daddy's hand
From your daddy
From your daddy
With my adult mind
You know my body feels so strange
If they'd only sign away my life to me
I could be much saner
If they'd only learn to let me
Freedom seek
The world would be less mean
But they never know how to let you go
And they never know how to leave me
Yodel - ee
Yod - el - ee

WONDERFUL SHADOW
You've a beautiful body and a wonderful mind
These are things I've been stumbling towards
And I think you've been kind towards me
These are wonderful moments
The gifts I've received
And the knowledge is hurting
But I guess it comes back to
The things that you no longer need
I'm an evil, young hustler
To be so curious
These are evil young thoughts here
To be so jealous, so jealous
When a beautiful thought can
Cab be just thrown away
'Cause I tell you
I'm used to looking and turning my back on them
Some things you say just to be sociable
And sometimes you feel
'Cause you're young and you're gullible
And sometimes I'm watching
Sometimes I'm too scared
And sometimes I'm able, I'm useful
I'm holding you, holding you
You've a beautiful body and a wonderful mind
These are things I've been stumbling towards
And I think you've been kind towards me
I'm a wonderful shadow
Whose sweetness is brief
For there's nothing like lovers
Who cry in the night
Wanting to please you
And wanting to need you
And hoping that you'll feel it too
Yes, you
