Be my penpal, write to me
We'll both get something from the postie
Much better than a bill
Thanks for writing
I got your note - the one you wrote to say hello
Thanks for writing
First name, surname, number road,
Village, region, postcode...
Don't forget a stamp
Thanks for writing
I got your note - the one you wrote to say hello
Thanks for writing
A postcard's how I choose to say
"I miss your face. By the way,
You owe me a pint."

To the people of whom I'm most fond
I reply on Basildon Bond

My Life is Over Again
03:49
|
|||
|
Roses and wine and your voice on the line tells me I'm fallin' in love again
And never before have I been so sure that this is the one that'll never end
But as time saunters by I can see in your eyes that I'm only a passing fad
But this ain't the first (and it sure ain't the worst) of the broken hearts that I've had
My life is over, again
Another sad and lonely end
Back to that place where I'm my only friend
My life is over, again
Well, I lost my job 'cause you kept my heart athrob and I couldn't seem to show up on time
My dog ran away with the keys to my Chevrolet, so now I'm out here hitchin' a ride
And all that remains is the shadowy pain of the memory of your warm embrace
I gave you the best seven months of my life and some old LPs I'll never replace
CHORUS
It's a hard lesson learned to know you'll get burned when the fire in your lover's heart grows cold
Your mother likes me more than you ever did before; the problem is she's ninety years old
I was born to love and lose, and I've surely paid my dues; I've earned this pessimistic point of view
So maybe tonight if the moon is shining right, I'll find someone to break my heart anew
CHORUS
I wrote the book on how my story ends
My life is over, again

Anything from You
03:28
|

I’m learning to hide, I’m often mistaken
As life rushes over in waves
Not torn up or burned out just terribly shaken
And I know I need to be brave
I rise before dawn, I’m always alone
The day will be old on too long
I dress up in blues wear my favourite brown shoes
And walk on the right side of wrong
So I don’t want anything from you dear, anything from you
You honeyed your lies with the sweetest of kisses
You promised that you would return
I gave you my love, left none in reserve
How the journey to loneliness burns!
You set me adrift without maps or bearings
And so I was lost for a while
As I watched the high passes, for many’s the season
There was never a trace of your smile
So I don’t want anything from you dear, anything from you
I’ve taken to drink like fish to the table
I've bolted the door to my heart
I’ll drain my well dry, no more will I cry
It's peaceful here under the stars
So I won’t ever fall, I won’t heed the call
The sirens can all become mute
My emotions are bruised and yes I'm confused,
Well, my soul bears the mark of your boot
So I don’t want anything from you dear, anything from you

The Outdoor Type
02:38

Always had a roof above me, always paid the rent
And I've never set foot inside a tent
I couldn't build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type
And I've never slept out underneath the stars
The closest that I came to that was one time my car
Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
I lied about being the outdoor type
Too scared to let you know - you knew just what you were looking for
I lied until I fit the bill, God bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never owned a sleeping bag, let alone a mountain bike!
I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
What if something's on TV and it's ever shown again?
It's just as well I'm not invited - I'm afraid of heights
I lied about being the outdoor type
Never learned to swim, can't grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type

I Think We're Alone Now

Children, behave
That's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand
And so we're
Running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Look at the way we gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew? And so we're
Running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
