Another Nail For My Heart  (Bonus track)
(Chris Difford / Glenn Tillbrook)

The cases pulled from under the bed
She made a call to a sympathetic friend
And made arrangements
The door was closed there was a note
I couldn't be bothered
Maybe I will tell her all the engagements

For where we went and faraway grounds
Trying to be good by not being around
So in the bar the piano has found
Another nail for my heart
And in the bar the piano has found
Another nail for my heart

I had excuses those little boy lies
That she compured by watching my eyes
And told me firmly
She couldn't stand at battle of heart
She tried to make up
And now I found a bottle that concerns me
I thought about a time
My love has resigned
I visit you poured out love you divide
So in the bar the piano has found
Another nail for my heart
And in the bar the piano has found
Another nail for my heart

That should be no bug that kills our love
I want to be good inside my nuts
So play that song that makes it so tough
Another nail for my heart
So play that song that makes it so tough
Another nail for my heart
And in the bar the piano has found
Another nail for my heart
And in the bar the piano has found
Another nail for my heart

Lauralie  (Bonus track)
(Hess / Lesperance)

A mousy little girl with a braid in her hair
Scurried around trying to clean up the house
Someone's coming over tonight
She's dying to see

She gives me the signal we meet in the yard
We'we done it for years and it makes it so hard
When the neighbors all look out their windows
So they might see

(Chorus)
Ah and Lauralie
When will I see you again
Oh and Lauralie
I'm in love with your just like my friends
I need some protection from this strange affection
Oh and Lauralie
You're sucking me in

Three in the morning I finally give in
So hard to wait when I know where she's been
She's giving at all the way
And not just to me

I long for the nights when I drink by the phone
And wait for the call when you're finally alone
To prove that I love you
As drunk as I'd be

(Chorus)

Come by the morning
Never a warning
She's onto me
Everyday hoping
Pledge my devotion
You're everything
Least everything I need

I need some protection
Lauralie when will I see you again
Oh and Lauralie
I'm in love with you just like my friends
Lauralie when will I see you
When will I see you again
I need some protection from this strange affection
And Lauralie
You're a lie
Lauralie you're sucking me in

Stuck With You  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

There couldn't be any more anarchy if we tried
Your liberty is irony living free takin' a ride

We walk on the line of hypocrisy
We're all out of time but I don't wanna leave

Starting over today
It ain't in my head I'm stuck with you
Like glue

All the killer bees casualities everybody's paying a price
I'll pollute the sea hug a tree undercook your meat and
You'll die

In another time I almost believed
We're both out of line thinking that we're free

Bored enough of the games
It ain't in my head I'm stuck with you
Like glue

Turn Around  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

I should apologize
For my new compromise
A temporary disease

Another dumb mistake
To think that you would change
Now I'm admitting defeat

Well I knew what this would mean
But still I let myself get back into it
It's time to turn around

If your not careful
She'll rip your heart out
And shove it in your mouth

Now I took all the blame
Off my little brain
And said 'the devil made me'
Put the turpentine
In her carafe of wine
And I got a reprieve

It's Gotta Be  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

I remember a day when swallowing and breathing
Would take up my brain and cramp it up in style
Now gone are the days of innocence and feeling
Now every new hangnail feels just like a crisis
It's gotta be
All the heavy weight I'm feeling on my shoulders
It's gotta be
A little phase I'm feeling numb again
I crusie through the day when my cereal is killer
Feed me the O's I'm cheery every time
The flakes and the frost don't mix with my demeanor
I'm meat at the plate being eatin' up in silence
I've been trying to figure out
What certifiable means
And how it relates to me
I feel like an egg that's never missed a beating
I looked away while signing on the line
If life is a lane it's moving like a dead man
Give me the speed or take away my license

Headache  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

When I retrace the lines that got me here
I find a face that's all just smoke and mirrors

We're alone living like two shadows
All in all I live in yesterday
I'm afraid it's gone

You're killing me every day
Couldn't pay me to stay
Ooooh
The enemy the anti-c
Now I know how you be

Clear the way for loneliness and fear
The idle flames been burning out for years

We're alone living like two shadows
All in all I live in yesteday
I'm afraid it's you
You're killing me every day
Couldn't pay me to stay
Ooooh
The enemy the anti-c
A headache that I don't need

Coming Down  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

I've been there
I don't wanna do it again
In the end I always pay
And I don't know how I do it
But I do it
Even though
The ground was kinda sinking again
I thought I knew where I stand
And I don't know how I lose it
But I lose it

When I'm drowning
Thinking that I'm floating
Slowly losing your devotion
Coming down from my high
From your good-bye
Heady clouds
Forming their opinion again
They shell me where I stand
With the rain that keeps me floating
To new ends
Didn't know the grass is always greener
And then those blades cut my own hands
Still reaching out for something
Like you yeah

Everything I knew before you
Is gone and lost without a trace
Never would be too soon to see your face

Climb The Gate  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

Born so we could lay
In a burning bed of rusted nails
Now it's my cause to stay awake

Will human kind prevail
Over prophecies of godless rages
For a world that's gone astray

Save preaching better times
They're bitter lies
Hey I could always climb the gate

It's heaven I hold this time

The comet's on the way
On holy ground we'll walk with angels
I just hope it's not today

I find it hard to pray
With one foot in my mouth
And one in the grave
Well so much for staying sane

Sunshine  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

When I feel alone I need to find the energy
That I feel when I'm with you
Holding on to everything that I can reach
That I think is part of you

Over and over
When my fears have won
And I feel I'm losing you
Ooh you're making me feel
Like a day that'll never see dawn

Then sun shines
And I feel I can deal with the worst of it
It's a slow ride
And I know I'm not alone
In your sunshine

No reason to reveal the light if I don't see
When I seem obsessed with you
Reeling in elusive fish that I don't need
When it seems I needed you

Without You  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

Climbed these walls
For hours that feel like days
From highs I fall
To watching the pain drying
The walls that I walked through
And the truth bent
To get to you
'Cause I need you
Where do I belong
Won't get through all my bleak moods
Without you
My resolve
Is a tower that fails to break
Life's a bomb
That can blow you eight ways from Sunday
Blue surrounds me
Blue all around me
Only you can change the tides
Hoping you can decide our fate

Pool Party  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

I missed the beat
I'm in a trap
What goes around comes around
It's a bad thing
I know the scene
I knew the facts
Funny how all I want
Is to go back

Days go on
I don't believe it's good for me
To hide behind my stone veneer
And philosophy
I'm pulling teeth
Not good enough
I never feel good enough
No matter what I try
I only fill pools of blood
And have I mentioned
I cannot swim

Underachieved
Ignored the facts
Now vision is all I lack
And I don't care
C'est la vie
It's curcumstance
Now lately it's all I've got
What a sad thing

Trip  (Live)
(Lesperance)

Hey there shut the door on your way out
Cause this is getting shameful
And I feel I don't know my name and number
I was standing there with my two cents
And now I'll never get to spend it
Cause it seems like checkmate
This game is over

And now you're fading out of sight
You can hate it if you want to
You'd sell your shoes to get it right
Yeah right...like I believe in anything anyway
Oh yeah I know what you're thinking
Save me the same old trip to nowhere
Cause I'm not going anywhere
Surprise surprise I gave in
And once again you'll get your own way
Cause I know you'll only take it anyway

Lately things are changing around here
I'm in need of a vacation
I mean I don't know why my friends are
I can't see it get any better
I'm losing my direction
I mean I don't know where I'm going

Face It  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

Just when you think you've got it all
It turns out to be nothing at all yeah

Give me back the ring
And any other things that I've dished out

I don't wanna take this lying down
I don't wanna face it like it is
Emotions on display when I break down
I don't wanna face it

Your brilliant ways have shamed us all
That's why u still b working at the mall yeah

You're heading for the drain
Good-bye you little pain don't come around

Through tainted eyes we see love
And I prove it time and time again
And I knew I'm better off to be alone
And I lose a little more each day

Who-Buddy  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

Every time I wake I feel fine
But happiness is something I can't find

So many things that I wanted to be
My dreams undone by real life
Comfort has made me complacent
Now I'm alone with what if's

Who I'll never be is so apropos
For the coma I'm in
All I'll never do
When given it all
Don't refuse

Every day it seemed like killing time
Never took a chance or even tried

So Blind  (Live)
(Hess / Lesperance)

Headlines detach us from the world
Throwing all compassion overboard
Like big flies circling the corpse
It's getting more disgraceful than before

What will we ride
When this horse dies
Will eat the shit and jump in

With both feet in the fire
Rubbing ignorance into our eyes
We're blind, so blind
To all the world's injustice
We're so blind

In their sick minds
They justify it all
Emotionally straying from the course
For the big prize
A hundred million whores
Raping all humanity and more
