MUSIC: Lyrics: "More of Her", Four Hours Sleep

Four Hours Sleep: More of Her
This Song Can Save You

Cummings/Bill McDonald

Do you realise it's all transitory
Today you look fine, tomorrow you'll be flush with glory
And I know a trick or two
This song can save you

I learn new things most everyday
Flung myself from the mountain top
I threw it all away
From up here you should see the view
This song can save you

Chorus
Cast off from the shore
When your life's no good anymore
Hey fool why don't you
Get going to where you're going to
This song can save you

Take me in the direction I want to go
I can turn myself inside out if I deem it so
You're on the verge of learning something new
This song can save you
Satellite

Cummings/Bill McDonald

Driving by the ocean
Thunder rolling across the horizon
Now everyday I'm driving further
I'm driving to your house
But I'm not going in

Chorus:
I drive
Driving thru the night
I drive
Like a satellite
I drive
Spinning thru the night
Like a satellite

Tiny red dashboard light was flickering
I was thinking of two things 
One was funny
The other was sexy
You ask me to stop for a sandwich
I can't stop this car
I can't stop when I'm driving
I can't stop when I'm driving

Chorus

Golden light pours from the sky
Crashes into the sea
If this is a sight-seeing tour
Let me off the bus
Call off the search
Turn off the engine

Chorus (x2)

Like a satellite
Stick To My Fingers

Cummings/Bill McDonald

You talk too much
And all you talk about is you
You didn't leave a note
That's another thing
I don't like about you
I miss your car in my driveway
Or if I ring her doorbell she won't answer it

To say goodbye is to die just a little
I died when you shut the door in my face
He looks like a million
But he acts like a disgrace

Nobody plays anybody for a sucker
Not if they don't want
To be played that way
You played me that way

I just don't know what to do with myself
Now that there's no you
And all you talk about is you, you, you
And all you talk about is you, you, you
Don't You Ever Listen To Me

Cummings/Bill McDonald

When is the world gonna start making sense
A pretty charade mixed up with negligence
And I'm thinking
Am I thinking just a little too much

Now the river's between us, to cross the other side
Though the gap is too wide
We'll let the matter slide
And I'm thinking
Am I thinking just a little too much

Chorus:
Don't you ever listen to me
Don't you ever, ever listen to me
Listen to me

The party was large, what were we doing there?
Everybody's talking and saying everything
And I was shaping plans
For making unrealistic demands
You deserve to be made happy
You were the girl who was most like me
I came in as you flew out
You're stuck up somewhere to scream and shout

Chorus
When You Know More Of Her

Cummings/Bill McDonald

When you know more of her
When you know more of her
When you know more of her
When you know more of her

You can see the light that's in her eyes
You can tell see dreams of better lives
When you know more of her
When you know more of her
A Real Miracle

Cummings/Bill McDonald

Last night I could hardly get to sleep
I would dive to the bottom of the deep
Flights of angels sang in the branches of the trees
And a real miracle it happened to me

A real miracle - it happened to me
A real miracle - it happened to me
I've been saving my love till I met you

I keep having these dreams of me and you
You rang early one morning and I didn't know what to do
We went walking in the late summer sun
And you grabbed my arm and said I was your only one

For the first time my life opened up for me
Light streamed into my heart and it danced and played
And the sparkling lights were bright and clear
And I was without care and I have no fear
She Wanted To Fight

Cummings/Bill McDonald

She said that her life was intolerable
And she began to laugh softly to herself
She seemed a little overawed in my eyes
She possessed a kind of cold beauty you only found in women's magazines
She wanted to fight someone

She said that she was always like that
She said that she was no friend of mine
She had told all sorts of people all kinds of lies about me
She seemed to have something mysterious on her mind
She wanted to fight someone
She wanted to fight someone

She didn't show the slightest sliver of remorse at the horrible things she 
  had said to me
She wanted to fight someone
Many Were The Tears

Cummings/Bill McDonald

When I came home
No one ran to meet me
Disembodied voice
Disturbs the blackened sky
Good time doesn't last
It has a used by date
That's what makes it exciting
It does not wait

Many were the tears
What a pity it is
Many were the tears

You can't take the girl
Out of the picture
Everything will come
To a grinding stop
And the word was made flesh
And the flesh was a girl
The girl was making an exit
Climbing into a taxi cab

Sense and goodness
Flew out the window
I can never get used to
The way you move your body so
Lost World

Cummings/Bill McDonald

She left town and she ain't ever coming back
We don't expect to ever need her again
We didn't try to contact her but I can't be sure
Anyway she doesn't work her anymore

She had no identification
She moved slowly to the door
And it crossed my mind
She doesn't work here anymore
She didn't talk much
Hey officer what's the score?
You can see that she doesn't work here anymore

And you can still see the indentation the cushion of the stool
Where she sat her fat arse night after night
But she doesn't work here anymore
She doesn't work here anymore
When I First Met You

Cummings/Bill McDonald

You wanted to stay in bed
Cause you hadn't slept so well
Told me the story of your life
Or as much as you would tell

She said I want your love
I said and if I give it to you
Now what will you  do with it
Will you take care of it for me

(When i first met you)
When i first met you
(when i first emt you)
When I first met you

This isn't any good
We've got to do it some other way
I've been knocking my braisn out
Thinking about you all day
And I know that I deserved it
Won't you let me make it up to you
She said it was my own fault
I was looking for trouble
You just gave it to me

(When I first met you)
When I fist met you 
(When I first met you)
When I first met you
(When I first met you)
When I first met you
(When I first met you)
When I first met you
(When I first met you...)

I cast my eyes round and round
For something strange and beautiful to see
But I could only think of your cool eyes
Your cherry lips
(The roundness and curve of your body)
(But I could only think about you)
