This lonely heart’s been yearning
The skies above been turning
Feels like the universe just grew

Ahhh, I’ve waited for so long
Ahhh, I’ve waited for so long

How much I’ve held out for you
How much to I adore you
And now, now’s eternity
Spend it all with me
Spend it all with me

Love is a hurting thing it never goes away
Forever is a long time to wait for you to say

I just wanna be with you always
I wanna be around you always
I Just wanna be with you or no one
Making it, you or no one

And when the night starts falling
Even the stars are calling
Spinning and spelling out your name

Ahhh, that’s what I call fame
They’re spelling out your name
Forever and ever

Love is a hurting thing
It doesn’t go away
Forever is a long time
To wait for you to say

I just wanna be with you always
I wanna be around you always
I just wanna be with you or no one
Making it, you or no one

Please stay, never go away
Please stay, never go, never go away

I just wanna be with you
I wanna be around you
I just wanna be with you or no one

You always, I wanna be around you always
Just wanna be with you or no one
Every day, you or no one

You or no one, making it you or no one
You or no one, you or no one

Baby got your groove back, another kind of life
One you think that you deserve
Nothing you should lack, now reverting back to type
Never mind you lost your nerve

Yeah you had a go at sleeping in the van
But you couldn’t let it go too far
Now you’ve got a pension plan and your name’s on the insurance
And you can drive another woman’s car

(CHORUS)
A kind of glamour, you can lend yourself
Like dark sunglasses
You’ll remember, how good it tasted
Inside the ruling classes
Wasted, behind your dark sunglasses

She’s got a ballgown for charities and such
Like a debutant from days gone by
Shave and wear a tie, it isn’t sacrificing much
Lucky guy, you can still get high

Yes sir, no sir, Sunday we’ll be there
You only have to please that lady
Think anything you like, but be careful what you say
For another warm night, another dry day

(CHORUS)

I’m not towing the line, you’ll be fine
I’m not towing the line

A kind of glamour, you can lend yourself
Like dark sunglasses.
You’ll remember, how good it tasted
The ruling classes

(CHORUS)

Wasted, behind your dark sunglasses.

I got you curious ‘cause I can cry on call
I’ll be anything you want, just give me some lines to memorise
You think that I’m serious, you can bend me like a rubber doll
So give me another scene and lots of tender close ups

(CHORUS)
Ooooh, this isn’t gonna end like in the movies
Ooooh, the audience goes home satisfied ‘cause nobody really died
Ooooh, this isn’t gonna end like in the movies

You think this is real time but these drops drip in slow mo
From this heart of mine, cup your hands and catch the overflow
The silent screen tonight, won’t somebody play the piano
While the protagonist beats her breast
You’ve all seen the rest

(CHORUS)

Happy ending, a Hollywood storyline
Good pretending but don’t fuck with this heart of mine
You say you love me and I believe that it’s true
If you believe me, then I’ll believe you
Then I’ll believe you

(CHORUS x2)

I’ve become what I criticised, ooh, ooh
The porn queen in my deck of lies, ooh, ooh
Where were you? In a caravan next to a fairground ride
You left here with nothing, but something to hide

(CHORUS)
I’m back on gasoline alley, where the smog looks like a misty valley
And the dotted hills were pills gone down the wrong way

In the service of the king and his kingdom too, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I was the man and the woman and, who knows who?
The good news, you made her an offer that she can’t refuse
The truth is I had nothing to lose

(CHORUS)

You could say, you did it the only way, your own way
Life goes on and it’s another day

(CHORUS x2)

You’re the one (x4)

It doesn’t take a scientific mind
To see the change in me
Every cliché in poetry you find
Describes me to a T

I was lost but now look how I’m found
Blind, now I can see
I was half but now look how I’m whole
You’ve completed me

An ordinary cynic
Is all I ever was
But look at me, I’m laughing like a child
And all of it because

You’re the one (x4)

You may not think I’m serious
Or telling you a joke
And all these proclamations
Will disappear like smoke

Well it’s too late to turn back
But here’s what should do
Keep your eye on that bad penny
‘Cause it’s coming back to you

You’re the one (x4)

People say you’re a mistake
You’re a dangerous lover
But you give more than you take
You can’t judge a book by the cover

And I can’t take all the credit
But I found you when I thought
That a love like this was nothing
But a bargain left unbought

You’re the one (x8)

I could believe it when you found another one
And lived to see when you were wrestled to the ground
The lady gets what she wants, it’s true
But what she didn’t get, there’s two of you
It went dark when the moon hid behind a tree
But I could tell you were standing over me
I took a drink from your moonshine jar
Yeah baby see you’ve gone a plan too far

(CHORUS)
Hey, the slope gets slippier
Yeah, the women get lippier
Oh no, you can’t come back to me

Look here now this is where you are
A big blue sky and a plan too far

You’re two sided sure as day and night
Up and down and then you’re left and right
You’re as consistent as a weather vane cock
And still pretending you can beat the clock
Yeah people talk and they have no shame
They see your picture and they know your name
Modern stalking with a common touch
Nobody knows nothing but they know too much

(CHORUS)

Look here now this is where you are
A big blue sky and a plan too far
Pretty baby you’re a shooting star
In a big blue sky and a plan, too far (x2)

If you can’t understand
Why a castle that’s made out of sand
Disappears overnight
Then there’s no point me saying this love isn’t right

Unless you can believe in a miracle
Unless you can believe

If you can’t understand
Why some tears never dry over time
That’s how rivers begin
And the faithless line up to jump in

If you haven’t found out
There’s a rumour that’s going about
That love’s come to stay
But I wouldn’t believe what they say
No I wouldn’t believe what they say

Unless you can believe in a miracle (x3)
Unless you can believe

Fly away on the wings of an angel
Never touching the ground
Fly away with my heart in your hand
Never making a sound

If you can’t understand
Why a picture that’s made out of cloud
Dissolves when it rains
Then try saying “I love you“ out loud
Then try saying “I love you“ out loud

If you can believe in a miracle (x2)
Unless you can believe in a miracle
Unless you can believe

Fly away on the wings of an angel
Never touching the ground
Fly away with my heart in your hand
Never making a sound

If you can’t understand
Why a castle that’s made out of sand
Washes into the sea

Then try saying “this love’s meant to be” (x2)

When you made me come run around
A hundred times but were out of bound
Oooh, oooh, whoa
Oooh, oooh you were hands on
Took me half of yours half of mine
Fell in love for the summertime
Ohh I’m done, Ohh I came undone

When the bells start to ring and chime
You ran out of time

I can entertain myself
In your house of cards now
I can even explain myself
And tell why and how
You’ll never find me
Or sneak up behind me
I can entertain myself
In your house of cards now

When you made me come run around
A hundred times in another town
Oooh, oooh whoa
Oooh, oooh you won hands down

Met me in The Travel On Inn
I went and again and again
Oooh, oooh whoa
Oooh, oooh where the little girls go
When I heard the sound of bells toll
Baby out of control

I can entertain myself
In your house of cards now
I can even explain myself
And tell why and how
And you’ll never find me
Or sneak up behind me
I can entertain myself
In your house of cards now

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
God bless Mommy, Daddy, Terry, Grandma
And even the one who had me
He was a bad, bad man

I can entertain myself
In your house of cards now
I can even explain myself
And tell why and how
Now you’ll never find me
Or sneak up behind me
I can entertain myself
In your house of cards now

Spin me a yarn and draw me inside,
If you make me believe, I will come to you

Tell me a lie and string me along
Put your hands on my eyes and hold tight when you

Pin me down, oh so tight by my phantom wrists

Tourniquet, stop the bleeding, the arms that held him, now they’re gone

Promise me hope and help me to cope
In this town of nine gates in its final throes
Bring me supplies of blankets and hides
Put me into old newspaper clothes

Turn me out to the field and untie me
Tourniquet, stop the bleeding, the arms that held him, now they’re gone
Now they’re gone

Yeah, don’t you be such a baby
Man up to me, I don’t mean maybe
Forever, forever, forever nuthin’
Forever, forever, Sweet Nuthin’ oooh

My standards are such, I don’t expect much
Just show up roughly when you say
If you’ll have me I’ll have you
That’s the bar I measure up to
I’m good with o-k
I’m good with o-k

(CHORUS)
Don’t you be such a baby
Man up to me, I don’t mean maybe
Forever, forever, forever nuthin’
Forever, forever, sweet nuthin’

I don’t need a lie, to see your other side
You can save it for your solo album
I don’t even need the truth
I’m not a spy or a sleuth
I’m in love with a bum
I’m in love with a bum, Baby

(CHORUS)

Sweet nuthin’ oh ohh (x5)

Oh don’t you be such a baby
Man up to me, I don’t mean maybe
Forever, forever, forever nothing
Forever, forever

(CHORUS)

Sweet nuthin’ ooh (x2)

Everybody’s asking where did you go?
This was gonna be my masterpiece
The paint’s not even dry yet, oh no
I could trace the outline of a shadow
I need blood and breath to mix my colours

(CHORUS)
Where did you go?
After you promised me a portrait
Took of your clothes, held a pose
Drawing your arms, your hands and veins and fingers and your lips, broken nose
On your eyes, so just stare into the distance
Please don’t move, whatever you do
While I’m adding the blue

I know I’m not Monet or Van Gogh
I can’t draw like S. Clay Wilson
You got inside this brush, that drips with red
I can’t draw from memories or photos
I need blood and breath, but you left me nothing

(CHORUS)

Close this chapter yesterday
Take this page and throw it away
Fill the holes in, sand the wall
You were never here at all
The warmth where someone never stood
Promises were never good
The smell of human sweat and tears
A passing thought, the passing year
Baby
