If you go, you've such a lovely voice, I love it
Will you promise not to tell them all

That's the price you pay
If you stay, you can keep the things you learned today
You've to promise not to give me away
And if you stay, you can keep the things I give you
Just to promise not to breath a word
But if you go, you're such a lovely face both of them
You've to promise not to tell them all
And if you go, I'll never give my trade secrets away
Swear you won't reveal it all
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
No longer want to stay, you want to get away
That's the price you pay
If you go, will you promise not to tell them all
And if you go, you have to swear you won't reveal a
word
But if you go, you've such a lovely bum, I Iove it
Will you promise not to tell them all
And if you stay, I'll never give my trade secrets away
Swear you won't reveal it all
That's the price you pay

No longer want to stay, you want to get away
All mine, when the body wakes up
All mine, when the body falls down
You won't sleep when you lie with me
Knuckle and bone come rattle at the window
All mine, gall and liver
All mine, bony rib and marrow
All the dreams you long to keep
Were part of the deal when you came to borrow
The collector is collecting
And delivering to me
Oh, you think we've got it all
But there's no guarantee
All mine, all mine
All mine, the song your mother wrote you
All mine, everything of value
All hope you lay aside
Saved for the say no hope lies in you
All mine, joy and libido
Mine mine, plans for tomorrow
The heart you smuggled away
That beat so fast when we did our little handshake
The collector is collecting
And delivering to me
Oh, you think we've got it all
But there's no guarantee
All mine, all mine
You won't sleep when you lie with me
Body will be gone but the mind won't follow
This heart you long to keep
with an element, oh no (??)
with an element, oh no
and it leaking in my gut
could you have an idiot
with it's banner in my brain
and i'll never talk sense again
but i'll sing with all i've got
from the bottom of my leaky gut
will you never come back for more
is the whole thing too familiar
with the line of your back so broad
but its me who's knocking down your door
sing for your supper
is all that i can do
one way or the other
i'll be making eyes at you
there's a woman in my brain
and she dabbled in my chemistry
i woke her up when i called your name
but ill never wake her up again
with an element, oh no
will you never come back for more
is the whole thing too familiar
with the line of your back so broad
but its me who's knocking down your door
sing for your supper
is all that i can do
one way or the other
i'll be making eyes at you
filling up an empty room
should have never have one companion
look at me loving you
is there ever any other reason
sing for your supper
is all that i can do
one way or the other
ill be making eyes at you
You should save things, we should save things
But I don't, I lose things, I lose things
I lost the whole thing in one go
When it could have been saved but I let it go
It was my heart drive, it won't obey me
Takes that information, fills my memory
It churns out non-sense when I reload
I have to decode every single sentence
I don't pour whisky down my neck at night
I don't go binging on the weekend, pass out on the
floor
I take good care of you, but you like to attack
By coagulating everything before handing at back
We should save things but I don't, I break things, I
break things
I broke my baby, my newest baby
When I could have saved it all but I let it go
It was a major and it started slow
It had a rhythm that could make you move in ways you
didn't know
It had this wall of string and a lingering feeling
But it's all gone thanks to yours truly
I don't pour whisky down my neck at night
I don't go binging on the weekend, pass out on the
floor
I take good care of you, but you like to attack
By coagulating everything before handing at back
You take a chainsaw and drive it centreline
Straight through my insides when I lose my mind
I'm changing over to a Mac, if you don't give my files
back
And it better be intact or it's scrapheap for you
Reuben, I've been told
That you got fire in your pocket, filling every hole
Now it's old, it's old
Reuben, I've been told
You're selling fire to the devil
You're filling up his hole
Now he grows, he grows
Every time I hear you
I go howling in the half light
Ay ay ah-ooh
But every time I do, I wish I'd hear a little howl back
Ay ay ah-ooh
Hear a little howl back
Reuben, you've been seen
You're bringing sunshine before you
Riding on the beam
Now I'm told, I'm told
And how long you keep me still
I will be quiet for our lady, quiet for no evil
You may keep you business to yourself
Every time I hear you
I go howling in the half light
Ay ay ah-ooh
And every time I do, I wish I'd hear a little howl back
Ay ay ah-ooh
Hear a little howl back
Ooh...
Reuben, I've been told
That you got fire in your pocket
Filling every hole
And it's old, it's old
And how long you keep me still
I will be quiet for our lady, quiet for no evil
You may keep your business to yourself
Every time I hear you
I go howling in the half light
Ay ay ah-ooh
And every time I do, I wish I'd hear a little howl back
Ay ay ah-ooh
Only for you, only for you
What else am I to do about it?
Who heard of anything for free?
Who gives away to not receive?
That would be mean
Are you listening?
Are you watching closely?
Lovely, lovely overblown love song
No one and nothing could ever give more
With a few minor chords
Only for you, only for you
Don't want to be demure about it
But what to say and how to say it
Who knows, who knows, who knows?
Here I go
Are you listening?
Are you watching closely?
Lovely, lovely and overblown love song
Nothing and no one could give you more
I really really don't think you're on it for me
I really really don't think you're cutting it out
Oh hardly, hardly, he's the one to take me on
Oh hardly, hardly, he's the one
If all your bruises were leading
We go on and on
Hey there, Mr. Kill
Never seen you so ill
Yoo-hoo, Easy
Why not just shoot me?
I'll never rule you out
I really really don't think you're on it for me
I really really don't think you're cutting it out
Do you really really wanna explore?
Do you really really wanna?
If all your dreams could live it for you
He'll be the one for me
Even if he do me a little
He's the one I'll bend for
When I don't bend, I break
Where's the yellow punk addition?
(He) lay it down in front of me
Keep it moving!
He'll be the one for me
A tidy bum do more than a little
We all know what a girl can do
But can you keep that toe on the bag
Tidy bum do more than a little
He lay it down in front of me
Keep it moving!
I like it moving round and round down there
Keep it moving!
I like it moving round and round to nowhere
You don't go down
All body do as i do
You don't make a scene yet
We all know how you move
But can you keep that toe on the bag
Tidy bum do more than a little
He lay it down in front of me
To go with my outfit
Very few have hit the mark
And fewer still made the radar
I didn't need what they offered
And there's nothing hear, to be proud of
It's possible, I hear them
And it's probable, I didn't listen
And there's nothing hear, to be proud of
But your eyes open
Easy come, easy go
You started something I never had to question before
You started changing my mind when I was always so sure
I've starting wondering what happens if I let you in
more
Should you, should you say it's mine for keeps
You should you have left with your airs and graces
And you shouldn't leave them or they'd be wasted
'cos there's nothing here to be proud of
But your eyes open
Easy come, easy go
You started something I never had to question before
You started changing my mind when I was always so sure
I've starting wondering what happens if I let you in
more
Should you, should you say it's mine for keeps
Something new
You started something I never had to question before
You started changing my mind when I was always so sure
I've starting wondering what happens if I let you in
more
I've started changing my mind when I was always so sure
You have the same stubbornness as hammerhead
Don't need to get into it
When every which way is wrong and every right is your
And everything is either black or white
But even I know the in-betweens and outs
My lowly brain can comprehend
That if it's easy you want you don't go looking for
love
It will complicate you in the end
I may be hollow but I've had my fill
Of idle love I wasn't afraid to spill
And in the morning when I'm hollower still
There won't be any room for us
I have the same stubbornness as my rival
Wouldn't even compromise
When it was too even Steven didn't want to be eating
Such a big piece of the humble pie
It was a hard, hard lesson to learn then
But I won't go do that again
No if it's easy I want I won't go dishing out love
Like it's something I've got plenty of
I may be hollow but I've had my fill
Of idle love I wasn't afraid to spill
And in the morning when I'm hollower still
There won't be any room for us
I have the same attitude as my mother
And I think I'll see it out alone
It may be sweet to share a bed but when you're fucking
with my head
Stopping pit is now a no go zone
I want to love you but it got too much
You have to build it out of stronger stuff
We might have something but it's not enough and there
Speed up, you're right behind
You go slow you take your time
But anymore it won't be so free
Anymore it won't be so easy
Big bass a temper a bee
Why shake, shake at your feet
Let it kick what they can't defeat
You'll hear me
I'm over here, I'm over here
I'm over here, I'm over here
Come over here, come over here
Come over here, come over here
Come over
Too slow, how to get you to move
You got a hoop you won't need to jump though
Stuff you want me to wear and I'll wear it just for you
Any day soon, until the day
Give me a moment, it won't take you long
To make it clear enough
I'm over here, I'm over here
I'm over here, I'm over here
Come over here, come over here
Come over here, come over here
Come over
Any day soon, until the day
Give me a moment, it won't take me so long
And any day soon, until the day
Give me a moment, it won't take me so long
Make you feel right, now there's no need
It's a cold man's nightmare to be warm, (where she lays)
And he's to go through fire to make sure that's where he
stays
I thinking of you
It's a cold man's fever to be loved in return
For every warm embrace he acquires a taste of getting
burned
Don't let it go, even if I said to
I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you
It's a warm girl's nightmare to have you by her side
For every look you give her sends a shiver down her spine
I'm clean and neat, I'm ready to eat
I'm like a pure white cotton sheet, hanging out, to dry
I'm sour, sweet, high heeled feet
Going to push it on and ready for a treat, oh my
Worth a try
Could be time to pay, you've wasted the day away
And I'm too lazy, won't you delay
Work no pay, maybe you're right without you're lie
I'm going away
Yet you're gone all nice, put your best foot forward
But how long it's been there, it feels like it ain't
going away
For the longest day
You're game it's lame, your rules are getting tame
You're put on another reel, the outcome is the same
once again
Let's pretend
And days, days don't mean a thing
And when you ditch it in a diary, if a diary for a
brain, but this day
You're slipping away
Could be time to pay, you've wasted the day away
And I'm too lazy, won't you delay
Work no pay, maybe you're right without you're lie
I'm going away
Yet you're gone all nice, put your best foot forward
But how long it's been there, it feels like it ain't
going away
For the longest day
We know what it's like to always get your way
I know, I know I do
And we couldn't find the time to accumulate
Other than this way
I'll be ready
When they bite the line
I'm losing, I'll lose
No hard shell, no armour
Can't help it
We don't say their name
They follow the sandwaves
Back to where you are
And I bet you nearly made a mistake
You'll have to learn to lose all scruples
You'll be ready
When you bite the line
I'm losing, I'll lose
No hard shell, no armour
Can't help it
I'll be ready
All of you
I'm being sewn onto
Under your collar
Inside your sleeve
But in the meantime...
Some of you is going to have to do
I've not decided which part to choose
What bit I'll keep
Which bit I'll lose
I've not decided
All of you
Sorry day, not able to engage
I'm keeping busy with my candidates
They're under the chin
Or the shoulder blades
Just the whole face
All of you
Sorry night, you filled up all my time
I've been neglectful and you have your pride
So don't wait in line
While I'm by his side
I've things on my mind
Been thrown out of my own head
I don't belong anymore
Who's been at it again
Who's been at it again
At it again
They say they made a monster who bore seven deadly sins
But they didn't understand
It's about time, I untie my binds
I'm growing up to the sun
And I'll come back when I'm done
I'll find a brand new language that won't give me away
Could be foul mouthed all day long
It's about time, I untie my binds
They'll flourish while I fade
It's about time, I untie my binds
I'm growing up to the sun
And I'll come back when I'm done
When I'm done
They'll flourish while I fade
Good riddance anyway
I'm, I'm getting bored of this place
You should save things, we should save things
But I don't, I lose things, I lose things
I lost the whole thing in one go
When it could have been saved but I let it go
It was my heart drive, it won't obey me
Takes that information, fills my memory
