ROMANCE

What can I say

that you don't already know, but you don't show

and it's hard to say

our love is easy in an awkward way

or maybe that's just today

what can I do

that you don't already do, that I should too

and its hard to be kind

when fucking up is always in the back of your mind

but you may find

Awkwardness in romance is my specialty

especially when it comes to you and me

and heartache and hurting seem to follow me

but thats all okay if your beside me

But in my case it's true

fucking up is just part of what you do

sorry for being true

but in your case it's fine

and loving is a feeling that you often find

if only in your mind

Awkwardness in romance is my specialty

especially when it comes to you and me

and heartache and hurting seem to follow me

but thats all okay if your beside me

stay beside me

Awkwardness in romance is my specialty

especially when it comes to you and me

and heartache and hurting seem to follow me

but thats all okay if your beside me

A SONG FOR HELENA

3am, home again

southern comfort lemonade in the shade

the feelings right the mood is low

to the dragon we will go and have a drink

summer fun here we come

but you can't handle it when there is too much sun

get locked in your room I'll be home soon to help you out

Blurry nights and lazy days on your phone

overly frightened

but I'll walk you home

You're strange

you're cool

you're a crazy talking loving fool

hold onto your heart

and let the loving start

4am, back again

tequila, jagar, cigarette but no to gin

the feels right the mood is low

to the dragon you will go and have a drink

winter blues is your muse

tequila, jager, cigarette but no to booze

something beautiful now will bring you down as that morning comes

Blurry nights and lazy days on your phone

overly frightened

but I'll walk you home

You're strange

you're cool

you're a crazy talking loving fool

hold onto your heart

and let the loving start

hold onto your heart

and let the loving start

hold onto your heart

and let the loving start

hold onto your heart

and let the loving start

TELEPHONE

Feels like I'm just wasting away

in a world where I don't know what to say

but when I see your face

in this lonely place

sky is dark and the air is cool

just another lonely lost fool

who can't find another way

to say what he needs to say

So, hold on

hold on to what you got

everynight all you are dreaming of is you and me

a love that's young and free

so, hold back

hold back to what you need

all you wear is tweet and all you smoke is weed

and that's all true

but that's not you

Feels like I'm just wasting away

in a world where I don't know what to say

but when I see your face

in this lonely place

fucking up like I always do

just another lonely lost fool

who can't find another way

to say what he needs to say

So, hold on

hold on to what you got

everynight all you are dreaming of is you and me

a love that's young and free

so, hold back

hold back to what you need

all you wear is tweet and all you smoke is weed

and that's all true

but that's not you

So, hold on

hold on to what you got

everynight all you are dreaming of is you and me

a love that's young and free

So, hold on

hold on to what you got

everynight all you are dreaming of is you and me

a love that's young and free

so, hold back

hold back to what you need

all you wear is tweet and all you smoke is weed

and that's all true

but that's not you

COLD SOUP

Feels like I'm just wasting away

in a world where I don't know what to say

but when I see your face

in this lonely place

sky is dark and the air is cool

just another lonely lost fool

who can't find another way

to say what he needs to say

So, hold on

hold on to what you got

everynight all you are dreaming of is you and me

a love that's young and free

so, hold back

hold back to what you need

all you wear is tweet and all you smoke is weed

but that's not you

Feels like I'm just wasting away

I WANT YOU

Four o clock you’re lying in bed,
Dirty thoughts flying round your head,
Coz you know we’re over and done
Monday morning you’ll be on your own and talking ,
to another boy that you don’t really know for a cigarette that you don’t really want,
It’s time you realised what you want,
Do you want me?

Turn around love is one your back again
Hold on till you need it then
Turn around love is one your back again
And you don’t know
I want you

Five o clock I’m thinking of you,
Wanting to call but don’t know what you’ll do
Coz I know we’re over and done
Monday morning I’ll be on my own and trying to,
Hold back the tears that I don’t wanna cry
Stay warm when I’m cold on the inside
It’s time I realised what I want and what I want is you

Turn around love is one your back again
Hold on till you need it then
Turn around love is one your back again
And you don’t know
Turn around love is one your back again
Hold on till you need it then
Turn around love is one your back again
And you don’t know
I want you

Turn around love is one your back again
Hold on till you need it then
Turn around love is one your back again
And you don’t know
Turn around love is one your back again
Hold on till you need it then
Turn around love is one your back again
And you don’t know
I want you

TIRED OF NOT SEEING INTO LOVES SOUL

Stay in bed

just rest your head on your pillow

let love not dread fill your head I'll be there tomorrow

you'll be fine

you're mine

just words that rhythm that show I love you

Let all the words I said fill your head

don't be low

rest your head on your pillow

Thinking of you

like I do

although I can't be with you

today or tomorrow

I miss you and I wanna kiss you

but you don't want me to

coz i'm ill and so are you

but I still love you

Let all the words I said fill your head

don't be low

rest your head on your pillow

SHAMPOO

Tuesday is just one day away from when i see you again

but maybe this time when we're holding hands

I'll understand that you don't love me too although you said you do

But all I know is what you say but its all a lie you only wanna make me cry

but you're not well and I'm doing swell in the things I do

and that no longer includes you

and as a final note this anecdote was all a lie

I never wanna make you cry

and your favorite flower is my finest hour and you wear weird shampoo

and I can't wait to see you and tell you that I love you

CHECKERED GREY TROUSERS

Your double beds too big for your room but,

you'll have a single bed arriving for your new room

next to the bathroom

you've got a headache from the things you've done

glass of wine & your rollies done

think of your new room

near to the bathroom

And I said,

"Too late, too late for loving someone that you don't really love,

too late, for lying who you're dreaming of"

And you'll say,

"Too late, too late to say what I want to say,

too late, to smoke away another day"

Your loving heart will be broken soon,

volume up on a kids cartoon coz you're a fucking loon

in your new room

And I said,

"Too late, too late for loving someone that you don't really love,

too late, for lying who you're dreaming of"

And you'll say,

"Too late, too late to say what I want to say,

too late, to smoke away another day"

And I said,

"Too late, too late for loving someone that you don't really love,

too late, for lying who you're dreaming of"

And you'll say,

"Too late, too late to say what I want to say,

too late, to smoke away another day"

too late, to smoke away another day

CONFUSED

All I really wanna say is how I feel and how I feel for you
In the middle of the night when all I’m thinking of is you
And all these things that are going round my head like things you’ve done and things you said are all that matter to me coz I just think your lovely

And if it’s not too strange & unusual
off hand or just un-cool I need to say it to you now and explain it somehow
And if it’s not too hard for you to understand easy loving in an easy land is just you and me but you confuse me

All I really wanna know is how To deal and how To deal with you
Is it really true that you might be fucked up too (fucked up too)
And all these things that are going round my head like things you’ve done and things you said are all that matter to me coz I just think your lovely

And if it’s not too strange & unusual
off hand or just un-cool I need to say it to you now & explain it somehow
And if it’s not too hard for you to understand easy loving in an easy land is just you and me but you confuse me

All I really wanna say is how I feel and how I feel for youIn the middle of the night when all I’m thinking of is youAnd all these things that are going round my head like things you’ve done and things you said are all that matter to me coz I just think your lovely

And if it’s not too strange & unusual off hand or just un-cool I need to say it to you now and explain it somehowAnd if it’s not too hard for you to understand easy loving in an easy land is just you and me but you confuse me

MOOD SWINGS

It's easy fucking up when you're back in love

be careful what you're saying coz you never wanna let her go

and she knows

you wanna tell her, tell her how you really feel

but that's not love that's to fucking real

and you won't deal

it's hard to say what you mean when what you mean is love

an off-hand topic that you very rarely discuss

bu then she'll blush and she'll say that she feels it too

there'll be an awkward moment when you don't know what to do

coz this is all new to you

But she's so very hard to understand

her changing moods make love feel like quicksand

which she'll misunderstand for you not loving her too

but you do

So is this the real thing or just another mood swing?

is this the real thing, do you want me to go?

It's easy fucking up when you're deep in love

keep going steady or she'll never know if you love her too

and it's hard to say what you mean when what you mean is love

you'll always think is she good enough

or am I good enough to love her too

and you do

So is this the real thing or just another mood swing?

is this the real thing, do you want me to go?

do you want me to go?

It's easy fucking up when you're back in love

keep going steady or she'll never know if you love her too
