Mutual Company

You managed to reduce me to tears again last night,
How'd you do it?
And you seem to have no regard for the day I've had,
But at this stage I'm used to it,
And I've noticed you never talk back to me,
But I wouldn't be opposed to some mutual company,
There's few out there who are willing to indulge me,
So while you're here,
Please take a seat,
Give me treacled lips,
Spurring hits,
For us angels in the backroom,
I want anything,
Give me anything,
I want a reaction in full bloom,
I want loveless spats,
Eyes unlatched,
I want nothing more,
And would it kill you to look in my eyes now and then,
I think it might,
I can see those cracks running across your portrait,
But you've got the sweetest smile,
And I know it's not my mind playing me,
But, I wouldn't be opposed to some mutual company,
There's few out there who speak to you the way that I do so,
While you're here,
Just stay for an hour or two,
Give me treacled lips,
Spurring hits,
For us angels in the backroom,
I want anything,
Give me anything,
I want a reaction in full bloom,
I want loveless spats,
Eyes unlatched,
I want nothing more,
Now don't take from me my reason,
You know it's mine,
But when you break your gaze I feel it undermined,
And don't ask me what I need,
You know it's time,
Don't ask me what I want,
Because I, I want lies,
Give me treacled lips,
Spurring hits,
For us angels in the backroom,
I want anything,
Give me anything,
I want a reaction in full bloom,
I want loveless spats,
Eyes unlatched,
I want nothing more,
Nothing more than treacled lips,
Spurring hits,
For us angels in the backroom,
I want anything,
Give me anything,
I want a reaction in full bloom,
I want loveless spats,
Eyes unlatched,
I want nothing more.

Take It Again

Is that a light in your window?
Did you put it there for me?
Are you wanting for the sweetness that love can decree?
And I'll lay it all out on the line for the masses,
I'll try to catch the wind as it passes,
You know that I'll take it again,
I've got a weakness for the soft-spoken pen,
You know that I'll take it again,
If I'm honest, I don't believe what I read,
And there's hope in lovers,
Peeking through chiffon curtains in the night,
And heat in desires,
That at the match,
Ignite,
You know that I'll take it again,
I've got a weakness for the soft-spoken pen,
You know that I'll take it again,
If I'm honest, I don't believe what I read,
I can't travel this road anymore,
I'm bearing a weight that's too much to ignore,
I can't play this role anymore,
I'm losing my own game,
And I'm not sure that I like it,
You know that I'll take it again,
You craft your words like you know the end,
You know that I'll take it again,
I know I'm flawed but I'll never win,
You know that I'll take it again,
I've got a weakness for the soft-spoken pen,
You know that I'll take it again,
If I'm honest I don't believe what I read,
I've got a weakness,
I'll take it again.

Sacred Renditions
03:30

Now I'm waiting on a man,
With grand master plans and dreams and ambitions,
And sacred renditions of songs,
Old songs that ring through the halls of those days,
Those days when those were the days,
Well you have me now, today, will you have me tomorrow somehow?
Ha! I don't think so,
This is a situation that could easily take some getting used to,
This kind of situation could easily break anyone in two,
This is a situation that could easily take some getting used to,
And yes, I regret it but, I don't see much of you around,
And I'm pretty indecisive,
I feel like you could convince me if you really tried,
If you really wanted to,
Do you want to?
Ah but it's such a pity you should go and do something like that and make me but a fraction of the cost of your living,
Are living now? I hope you're living now, if you weren't living then,
But to us,
You're just skimming along,
Don't get me wrong,
Sometimes I think I'd lie too if I were you,
If I were you then, I'd lie too,
This is a situation that could easily take some getting used to,
This kind of situation could easily break anyone in two,
This is a situation that could easily take some getting used to,
And yes, I regret it but, I don't see much of you around,
And I don't know if I should feel sorry,
So I suppose pity will just have to do,
They say I shouldn't feel sorry,
But I do,
I feel the weight of you,
I feel the weight,
I feel the wait for you,
I feel the wait, I feel the wait, I feel the wait I do,
This is a situation that could easily take some getting used to,
This kind of situation could easily break anyone in two,
This is a situation that could easily take some getting used to,
And yes, I regret it but, I don't see much of you around.

Tonne Of Bricks

Maybe it's in the slight of your hand,
I can see every gentle gesture,
But my sensitivity's driving me wild and for that I'd call it to question,
And I know I don't feel quite secure,
And I know that of all I want,
Oooh I want,
I want more,
Oh honey did I react too quick?
Did I reach for the door before you called it quits?
And has it all just hit you like a tonne of bricks?
Well I'm not going to promise,
I won't do it again,
And I can just picture you sitting at home,
Trying to find reassurance in a TV show,
Watching a soap opera star wait by the phone,
Some or another classic Bardot,
Who starts a public romance,
That comes crumbling down by the fall of France,
And you realise,
Oooh she didn't stand a chance,
Oh honey did I react too quick?
Did I reach for the door before you called it quits?
And has it all just hit you like a tonne of bricks?
Well I'm not going to promise,
I won't do it again,
Oh and you're trying to convince me of you're lines,
You snatched from that James Dean picture that time,
Well ooh that's just fine,
But you never really were that wild,
No you never really were that good,
At lying,
Oh honey did I react too quick?
Did I reach for the door before you called it quits?
And has it all just hit you like a tonne of bricks?
Well I'm not going to promise,
I won't do it again,
Oh honey did I react too quick?
Did I reach for the door before you called it quits?
And has it all just hit you like a tonne of bricks?
Well I'm not going to promise,
I won't do it again.
