I want to spend huge amounts of time on my own. I don't want to cause any serious damage. I want to make sure that I can manage, because I'm not really in your head, I'm not really in your head. And I see love and disaffection and the clouds build up and won't pass over. This is my road to my redemption. And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway. I still haven't got over it even now. I want to spend huge amounds of time in my room. And I'm not coming out until I feel ready, not running out for a while my heart's unsteady, and I'm not really in your head. I'm not really in your head. When you sky falls to minus zero, well some things must dissappear. Oh this is my road to my redemption. And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway. The names may have been changed but the faces are the same The names may have been changed but as people we're not the same. And I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not really in your head. And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway. Yeah, my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway. Troubled Mind (Words by Tracey Thon, Music by Ben Watt) Don't say one thing one day, then something else the next day. I'm trying to keep up with you - it's hard enough when you speak clearly, but when you're confused, it's like a goods train running through these rooms. And I'm reading more into your words than you have put into them, and that's my problem, but you tied these knots, now you undo them. You undo them. Oh and think before you speak my darling. Cause with your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life. We all walk through this world alone, we keep ourselves untouched, unknown. You look up to the sky above you, read this there - I love you. Oh it's written there, you know I love you, love you, love you. But with your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life. And when you're down, you bring me down too, and babe that's something I would not do. I know it's hard, yeah I know it's hard, and baby that's something I don't disregard. But with your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life. I Don't Understand Anything (Words and Music by Tracey Thom) What is it that I think I need? Is there love in me that wants to be freed? Or is it selfishness and ego we carry with us everywhere that we go? This feeling that life's incomplete - do you feel that too? Do you want what I want? And if I should start to cry, and I can't begin to tell you why, and I stumble when I begin, it's cause I don't understand anything. People say that we're so close, how can there be something that I don't know. Oh but even though I share your bed, baby, I don't get inside your head. This feeling of some mystery - do you feel that too? Do you know what I mean? And if I should start to cry, and I can't begin to tell you why, and I stumble when I begin, it's cause I don't understand anything. Watch me stumble, watch me slip My fingers loose their grip. Now I'm down on my knees, Is that what you wanted to see? What is it that I think I need? What is it that I think I need? And if I should start to cry, and I can't begin to tell you why, and I stumble when I begin, it's cause I don't understand anything. You reach for me from miles away, you reach for me from miles away. Walking to You (Words and Music by Ben Watt) I met your boyfriend on St. Martin's Lane and he said, "Fancy running into you again". We talked a minute or so, then he turned to go, and I walked into the crowd again. And the morning was a different place, in every passerby I saw your face. Love leaves a lonely ghost, with one thought uppermost - is this the case in every case? Am I walking to you? Am I walking to you? In everything I do, am I just walking to you? It was seven years ago to the day, you rang my house and we met halfway. We walked round Leicester Square and sat through 'Being There' and every moment I replay. And I was desperate for love to be pure, though what that meant, I never ws sure. You spent your time on me, I took it willingly, and I made you trust in litterature. Am I walking to you? Am I walking to you? In everything I do, am I just walking to you? I just don't know what to do. Get Me (Words and Music by Ben Watt) I never thought I'd grow up so fast so far. To know yourself is to let yourself be loved. And I want to be addicted, I want to be secure, I want to wake up after the night before, but do you ever get me? Do you ever get me? I'll press your hand against my face, weaken my resistance. I'll pull the sheets over our heads, let the broken sky break above our heads. And I want to be addicted, I want to be secure, I want to wake up after the night before, but do you get me? Do you ever get me? Shower me with affection and I'll return in kind. I have no hidden motive, I am blind. I'm a stone inside a box, I'm a spring inside a clock, you can wear me on your wrist and I'll tell you things ten thousand times, but do you ever get me? Do you ever get me? Missing (Words and Music by Ben Watt) I step off the train, I'm walking down your street again, and past your door, but you don't live there anymore. It's years since you've been there. Now you've disappeared somewhere like outer space, you've found some better place, and I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain. Could you be dead? You always were two steps ahead of everyone. We'd walk behind while you would run. I look up at your house, and I can almost hear you shout down to me where I always used to be, and I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain. Back on the train, I ask why did I come again. Can I confess I've been hanging around your old address? And the years have proven to offer nothing since you moved. You're long gone but I can't move on, and I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain Two Star (Words and Music by Ben Watt) Well it's not for me to say, but I can't see what you see in him anyway. But such righteousness in me is not a nice thing to display, and who am I for cristsakes anyway to judge a life this way when my own's in disarray? I watch Saturday kids' TV with the sound turned down. I leave food on the eiderdown. All my thoughts pushed underground. Maybe you're happy - everyone says you are. You drive around on two star, you leave your life ajar, and God knows you desserve it. Bad luck follows everyone. So go on, and stop listening to me. Stop listening to me. And don't ask me how I feel. Don't ask me how I feel. So it's not for me to say, because I change my mind from day to day, and when I look at you I only see bits of myself anyway. So go on, and stop listening to me. Stop lisening to me. And don't ask me what to say, or to judge a life this way when my own's in disarray. We Walk the Same Line (Words and Music by Tracey Thorn) If you loose your faith, babe, you can have mine, and if you're lost I'm right behind, cause we walk the same line. Now I don't have to tell you how slow the night can go, I know you've watched for the light. And I bet you could tell me how slowly four follows three, and you're most forlorn just before dawn. So if you loose your faith babe, you can have mine, and if you're lost, I'm right behind, cause we walk the same line. When it's dark baby, there's a light I'll shine, and if you're lost, I'm right behind, cause we walk the same line. And I don't need reminding how loud the phone can ring when you're waiting for news. And that big old moon lights every corner of the room. Your back aches from lying and your head aches from crying. So if you loose your faith babe, you can have mine, and if you're lost, I'm right behind, cause we walk the same line. When it's dark baby, there's a light I'll shine, and if you're lost, I'm right behind, cause we walk the same line. And if these troubles should vanish like rain on midday, well I've no doubt there'll be more. And we can't run and we can't cheat, cause babe when we meet what we're afraid of, we find out what we're made of. So if you loose your faith babe, you can have mine, and if you're lost, I'm right behind, cause we walk the same line. When it's dark baby, there's a light I'll shine, and if you're lost, I'm right behind, cause we walk the same line. 25th December (Words and Music by Ben Watt) And I see forests and it's the 25th of December and my old man plays the piano for Christmas. He plays the piano for Christmas. And we're all there, all the aunties and uncles, and the angle's on the top of the tree. Up there o the top of the tree. And I never, no I never ever realised. And I never, no I never ever realised. Have I enough time, have I just some time, to revisit, to go back, to return, to open my mouth again and say something different this time. And I see bags of newspaper and a car in the carport, and you're a grown up and still unsure, and I'm thirty and I don't know nothing no more. And I never, no I never ever realised. And I never, no I never ever realised. And I'm sitting, sitting on the top of the stairs, and you're crying out on the towpath by the river with all the swans and all the people walking by. And all of a sudden I'm stuck with an urge to unlock a door with a key that's too big for my hands and I drop it, and it falls at your feet. Come on, come on, it's there at your feet. And I never, no I never ever realised. And I never, no I never ever realised. Disenchanted (Words by Tracy Thorn, Music by Ben Watt) Look at you now, you've disenchanted, can't believe how things can change. Take a little out of life and things get strange. And now you find the wishes you were granted, things you thought were in your hands, have slipped away. How much can you withstand? The wasted time, the money spent, a sign that reads 'For Sale or Rent'. And everything is at a standstill, and where's someone who'll be on hand till you're no longer disenchanted, thinking everything is wrong? You know you're not the only one to wait so long. I wonder, can you try again? Are you that strong? Top Main Menu
