CHANGE MY LIFE

   

car culture looks out at you
driving through friday
night on your own
you don't have to please me
or pick up my tab
don't have to go too fast
just change my life
change my life
change my life
change my life

I miss the way you hold yourself
I miss the sense of wonder inside
don't want to be your victim for life
don't want your exclusive rights
I just want you to change my life
change my life
change my life
change my life

 

 

 

CHIPS  AND DIP

when she's got to say goodbye
after staying out late on a weeknight
and I walk on the side of the road
under industrial lights
it can be such a shame
how short the night and day

all that I've been for so long
is trying to get right here
and sometimes I can't make myself shuck and jive
perfection's on her tongue rolls out in monotone
that's where the heartache goes
and I do the same you know
I do the same you know
here's the final row
I do the same you know
it's just you can't see it
chips and dip

when she's got to say good-bye
staying out late on a week night
sometimes I can't make myself shuck and jive
cause where the heartache goes
I do the same you know
I do the same you know

 

 

 

THE FIGURES OF ART

 

it's easier to drink on an empty stomach than eat on a broken heart
the figures of art
and that kind of thing only will bring you apart
I'll give it just one more chance
I need to go get some leg and some shine on my shoes
I need a new pair of pants and take part in it too
like figures of art 
do do do do do do do
it's easier to eat on a broken stomach than drink on an empty heart
the figures of art
at quarter to three where you want to be is hard

 

I DIDN'T COME HERE TO DIE

 

all you see is the weight hung round my neck
it's in the message you left: I love you to death
I need to get some leg and go shine my shoes
I didn't come here to die
hoping everything's alright
hope that everything is alright
alright
as I drive off into the night alone I can feel it all rush back
half afraid that I'll turn back
and when you grow up here
it can feel like there's no place else it takes so long
to get anywhere at all
cause it just goes on and 
forget that empty stomach that broken heart
and just leave here tonight
and hope it's alright
but all you see is the weight hung round my neck
I didn't come here today to pull any weight
no not to pull any weight
alright
as I drive off into the sky alone I can feel it all rush back
but this kid ain't coming back
and I been living in the sticks here for so long now
so c'mon c'mon I said
I know everything was said
I know everything you said

 

 

JEALOUSY

 

jealousy
you have never done a thing for me
no you've never done a thing for me
jealousy
jealousy
things go wrong
it sends me somewhere that I don't belong
yeah it's just some place that I don't belong
things go wrong
jealousy
I think of him and I get so carried on
I think of him
alright
da da da
I think of him and then things get carried on
now now I think of him
and it's jealousy
but it's never done a thing for me
no it's never done a thing for me
jealousy
jealousy
