my tea's gone cold, i'm wondering why i got out of bed at all the morning rain clouds up my window and i can't see at all and even if i could it'd all be grey but your picture on my wall it reminds me that it's not so bad it's not so bad
i drank too much last night, got bills to pay my head just feels in pain i missed the bus and there'll be hell today i'm late for work again and even if i'm there, they'll all imply that i might not last the day and then you call me and it's not so bad it's not so bad
i want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life oh, just to be with you is having the best day of my life
push the door,i'm home at last and i'm soaking through and through then you handed me a towel and all i see is you and even if my house falls down now i wouldn't have a clue because you're near me
and i want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life oh, just to be with you is having the best day of my life
and i want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life oh, just to be with you is having the best day of my life
white flag
i know you think that i shouldn't still love you i'll tell you that but if i didn't say it well i'd still have felt it where's the sense in that
i promise i'm not trying to make your life harder or return to where we were
i will go down with this ship and i won't put my hands up and surrender there will be no white flag above my door i'm in love and always will be
i know i left too much mess and destruction to come back again and i caused nothing but trouble i understand if you can't talk to me again and if you live by the rules of "it's over" then i'm sure that that makes sense but
i will go down with this ship and i won't put my hands up and surrender there will be no white flag above my door i'm in love and always will be
and when we meet as i'm sure we will all that was there will be there still i'll let it pass and hold my tongue and you will think that i've moved on
i will go down with this ship and i won't put my hands up and surrender there will be no white flag above my door i'm in love and always will be
i will go down with this ship and i won't put my hands up and surrender there will be no white flag above my door i'm in love and always will be
i will go down with this ship and i won't put my hands up and surrender there will be no white flag above my door i'm in love and always will be

hunter
with one light on in one room i know you're up when i get home with one small step upon the stair i know your look when i get there if you were a king up there on your throne would you be wise enough to let me go for this queen you think you own
wants to be a hunter again i want to see the world alone again to take a chance on life again so let me go
the unread book and painful look the tv's on, the sound is down one long pause, then you begin oh look what the cat's brought in if you were a king up there on your throne would you be wise enough to let me go for this queen you think you own
wants to be a hunter again i want to see the world alone again to take a chance on life again so let me go, let me leave
for the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now and i don't know what to say to you but i'll smile anyhow and all the time i'm thinking, thinking
i want to be a hunter again i want to see the world alone again to take a chance on life again so let me go
i want to be a hunter again i want to see the world alone again to take a chance on life again so let me go, let me leave, let me go

sand in my shoes
two weeks away feels like the whole world should have changed but i'm home now and things still look the same i think i'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack, try to forget for one more night that i'm back in my flat on the road where the cars never stop going through the night to a life where i can't watch the sunset, i don't have time, i don't have time
i've still got sand in my shoes and i can't shake the thought of you i should get on, forget you but why would i want to i know we said goodbye, anything else would've been confused but i want to see you again
tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity should run a bath and then *clear* up the mess i made before i left here try to remind myself that i was happy here before i knew that i could get on a plane and fly away from the road where the cars never stop going through the night to a life where i can watch the sunset and take my time, take all our time
i've still got sand in my shoes and i can't shake the thought of you i should get on forget you but why would i want to i know we said goodbye, anything else would've been confused but i want to see you again
two weeks away, all it takes, to change and turn me around i've fallen i walked away, and never said, that i wanted to see you again
i've still got sand in my shoes and i can't shake the thought of you i should get on, forget you but why would i want to i know we said goodbye, anything else would've been confused but i want to see you again
i wanna see you again

i've driven round in circles for three hours it was bound to happen that i'd end up at yours i temporarily forgot there's better days to come i thought that i would give it just one more chance
cos' i want, tonight, what i've been waiting for but i found, tonight, what i'd been warned about
you think you are complicated deep mystery to all well it’s taken me a while to see you’re not so special all energy, no meaning with a lot of words so paper thin the one real feeling could knock you down
and i've seen, tonight, what i'd been warned about i'm gonna leave, tonight, before i change my mind
so see you when you’re forty lost and all alone being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know not sad because you lost me but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad
you think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd if you had walked past me today i wouldn’t have picked you out i wouldn’t have picked you out wouldn’t have picked you out
now i’ve seen tonight how could i waste my time? and i’ll be on my way and i won’t be back
cuz i’ve seen tonight what i’ve been warned about you’re just a boy, not a man and i’m not coming back
mary's in india
danny is lonely cos mary's in india now she said she'd call but that was three weeks ago she left all her things well, her books and her letters from him and as the sun rises on mary, it sets on him
just dance, just drink and just see the things i probably never get a chance to see
danny's not eating, he's drinking and sleeping in i saw him last night at a party, he's definitely thin he says he's happy, he looked pretty good but i think that as the sun rises on mary, it sets on him just dance, just drink and just see the things i probably never get the chance to see
danny came over last night and i cooked for him we talked about you mary and how much we loved you still he told me he's packed up your books and your letters and things and as the sun sets on mary, it's rising on him and we danced and we drank and i've seen some things you probably never got the chance to see don't worry, mary cos i'm taking care of danny and he's taking care of me
stoned
when you're stoned, baby and i am drunk when we make love it seems a little desolate it's hard sometimes not to look away and think what's the point when i'm havin to hold this fire down i think i'll explode if i can't feel this free now
cause if you won't let me fall for you then you won't see the best that i would love to do for you instead you will be missing me when i go cause i'm bored of hangin out, in your cold
when i feel loved, baby, i join the road and the world moves with me when i feel lost i just slip away silently, quietly take my things and go and think what's the point, think where's the hope when coming home
cause if you won't let me fall for you then you won't see the best that i would love to do for you instead you will be missing me when i go cause i'm bored of hangin out, in your cold
and if you find one day, find some freedom and relief with this freedom maybe, maybe you will find some peace and with this peace, baby, i hope it brings you back to me bring you home, take me home
cause if you won't let me fall for you then you won't see the best that i would love to do for you instead you will be missing me when i go cause i'm bored of hangin out, in your cold
wha-oh.... take me home wha-oh.... take me home when you're stoned, baby... take me home wha-oh....
life for rent
i haven’t ever really found a place that i call home i never stick around quite long enough to make it i apologise that once again i’m not in love but it’s not as if i mind that your heart aint exactly breaking
it’s just a thought, only a thought
and if my life is for rent and i don’t learn to buy well i deserve nothing more than i get cos nothing i have is truly mine
i’ve always thought that i would love to live by the sea to travel the world alone and live more simply i have no idea what’s happened to that dream cos there’s really nothing left here to stop me
it’s just a thought, only a thought
and if my life is for rent and i don’t learn to buy well i deserve nothing more than i get cos nothing i have is truly mine
while my heart is a shield and i won’t let it down while i am so afraid to fail so i won’t even try well how can i say i’m alive
if my life is for rent…
stan
my tea's gone cold,i'm wondering why i got out of bed at all the morning rain clouds up my window and i can't see at all and even if i could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
dear slim, i wrote you but you still ain't callin i left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom i sent two letters back in autumn you must not have got 'em it probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
sometimes i scribble addresses too sloppy when i jot 'em but anyways, fuck it, what's been up man, how's your daughter? my girlfriend's pregnant too, i'm out to be a father if i have a daughter, guess what i'm-a call her? i'm-a name her bonnie
i read about your uncle ronnie too, i'm sorry i had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him i know you probably hear this everyday, but i'm your biggest fan i even got the underground shit that you did with scamz
i got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man i like the shit you did with ruckus too, that shit was fat anyways, i hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat truly yours, your biggest fan, this is stan
dear slim, you still ain't called or wrote, i hope you have the chance i ain't mad, i just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans if you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert you didn't have to but you could have signed an autograph for matthew that's my little brother, man. he's only 6 years old we waited in the blistering cold for you for 4 hours and ya just said no that's pretty shitty man, you're like his fuckin' idol he wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than i do
i ain't that mad, but i just don't like bein' lied to remember when we met in denver, you said if i write you you would write back. see, i'm just like you in a way i never knew my father neither he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
i can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs so when i have a shitty day, i drift away and put 'em on cause i don't really got shit else, so that shit helps when i'm depressed i even got a tattoo with your name across the chest
sometimes i even cut myself to see how much it bleeds it's like adrenaline. the pain is such a sudden rush for me see, everything you say is real, and i respect you 'cause you tell it my girlfriend's jealous 'cause i talk about you 24/7 but she don't know you like i know you, slim, no one does she don't know what it was like for people like us growing up you've gotta call me man. i'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose sincerely yours, stan. ps: we should be together too
dear mr. "i'm too good to call or write my fans" this'll be the last package i ever send your ass it's been six months and still no word. i don't deserve it? i know you got my last two letters, i wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
so this is my cassette i'm sending you. i hope you hear it i'm in the car right now. i'm doing 90 on the freeway hey slim, "i drank a fifth of vodka, ya dare me to drive?" you know that song by phil collins from "the air in the night"? about that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning? but didn't? then phil saw it all then at his show he found him? that's kinda how this is. you could have rescued me from drowning now it's too late. i'm on a thousand downers now, i'm drowsy
and all i wanted was a lousy letter or a call i hope you know i ripped all o' your pictures off the wall i love you slim, we could have been together. think about it you ruined it now, i hope you can't sleep and you dream about it and when you dream, i hope you can't sleep and you scream about it i hope your conscious eats at you and you can't breathe without me see slim, {screaming} shut up bitch, i'm trying to talk hey slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk but i didn't slit her throat, i just tied her up, see i ain't like you 'cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too well, gotta go, i'm almost at the bridge now oh shit, i forgot, how am i supposed to send this shit out?
dear stan, i meant to write you sooner, but i've just been busy you said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she? look, i'm really flattered you would call your daughter that and here's an autograph for your brother: i wrote it on your starter cap
i'm sorry i didn't see you at the show, i must have missed you don't think i did that shit intentionally, just to diss you and what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too? i say that shit just clownin' dawg, c'mon, how fucked up is you? you got some issues, stan, i think you need some counselin to help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some
and what's this shit about us meant to be together? that type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other i really think you and your girlfriend need each other or maybe you just need to treat her better i hope you get to read this letter i just hope it reaches you in time before you hurt yourself, i think that you'd be doin' just fine if you'd relax a little. i'm glad that i inspire you, but stan why are you so mad? try to understand that i do want you as a fan i just don't want you to do some crazy shit i seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge and had his girlfriend in the trunk and she was pregnant with his kid and in the car they found a tape but it didn't say who it was to come to think about it...his name was...it was you. damn!
