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)
