Lyrics
All The Usual Mistake
I treated you so thoughtlessly and yet you still believe in me
And everytime we start to fight I am so convinced that I am right
In the past I've been a fool when life has made me mean and cruel
All the usual mistakes the ones we're all supposed to make
Before we learn which way to go
And why it has to hurt us so
When hope conspires with despair to form mirages in the air
And dreams delivered by deceit give them success by your defeat
The excuses that we find that simply feed a feeble mind
And if you meet someone in spring I think its worth remembering
White summer brings its warmest day the autumn seems so far away
When winter makes its message chear you wipe away another tear
All the usual mistakes the ones we're all supposed to make
Before we learn which way to go
And why it has to hurt us so
Whisky
I drink a bottle of whisky
Just to forget I am blue
Now I don't remember no one and nothing
But I can remember you
I bury my heart in the memory
A memory determind to stay
I think of the time I committed the crime
Of watching you walking away
I should never have let you in
I wanna get our of my head
Don't let me think of somebody else in your bed
I think I would rather be dead
I wanna be mad as a hatter
I want them to take me away
I wanna be told I'm a 100 years old
If I can't be with you today
So why can't I put you behind me
Why can't I leave you alone
And why everytime someone want to be mine
Would I rather be left on my own
I'll never believe that its over
It maybe a fool thing to do
Cos I was believing while you were deceiving
And I was depending on you
Breathing In
Breathing in breathing out I heard thats what its all about
Its so easy but its true breathing in and out is good for you
It can help you when you've down
It can left you off the ground
If you find yourself in doubt
Try breathing in and out
I'm so crazy and you've so straight
I'm too early and you've too late
But its like magic we feel no pain
Breathing in and out through the rain
In the begining there was light
In the end there'll be a fight
But for now we'll be alright
If we keep breathing in tonight
Ain't life funny ain't life sweet
I wanna bow to everyone I meet
Cos its so sunny and you've so warm
I'm gonna thank the day that you were born
I have thought for quite some time
I don't always speak my mind
Do you think that we should wair
To get permission from the state
Vivaldi's Song
Lady, when you love me I feel
Home sweet home inside of you sublime
This garden's sure to grow you know
Our love is just like summertime
Parrots eye the fruit and we make love
Between the harpsichords and lutes
Our greenlimbs intewine you know
Our love is just like summertime
Our souls collide, we slip and slide
We feel no pain and with our lives locked together
We weather the wind and rain
We grow the farm, we've safe from harm
Inside this circle of summertime
Both of us know is our love
Lovers from the past with poison smile
All pray our love with never last
But we are trees not vines you know
Our love is just like summertime
As the song begins, these shipwrecks fade
Behind a wave of violins
Vivaldi made us rhyme you know
Our love is just like summertime
Silhouettes
All the dreams that I dreamed of loving you have come true
And my life until now has meant nothing without you
Stand up, I want to look at you your beauty so divine
Your silhouette is calling our to mine
So come on and dance with me romance with me
We'll take and we'll give and we'll love and we'll live
Cos it makes us feel light-headed, firm-bedded
We'll water our plants and return to the dance - my love
And my spirit gets high when it knows what I'm gonna do
I can't stop, I don't want to, why should I, lose out on you
And I am so in love with you I set my spirit free
Your silhouette is getting through to me
And I flow like a river within you don't want it to end
And we look to our spirits to tell us when to descend
We feel the ecstasy divine the love we want to sow
Our silhouettes combine to let it grow
I Need Your Love So Much
You like to make me happy
You are the one I can trust
I can't think of anyone who's as close as us
We may not have much money
But then again who does
I can't think of anyone who's as close as us
And I need your love so much
And we can teach our children
To be the kind that you can trust
And they in turn can start to learn
To be as close as us
And if you say you'll stay with me
I'll give all I can give
Cos that's the only way to be
I could never be untrue
To anyone as beautiful as you
And when our days are over
We won't make any fuss
Because there won't have been anyone
Who's been as close as us
And I need your love so much
Living In The Attic
I'm not complaining about a hungry rat
I don't object to people getting fat
Not really bothered when I'm in the sack
I just want you here to cratch my back
I like living in the attic with you
Yes I do
The rain drips down along the bedroom wall
The ceeling's peeling like a waterfall
But we don't give a damn don't give a damn at all
Its a miracle but we're having a ball
Surrounded by a lot of old decay
Nobody visits us from day to day
It suits us fine to keep them out the way
This is the place I always gotta stay
Castles In The Sky
Why can't we sit in the sun catch a few fish and feed everyone
I just wanna lie on my back watching the moon
As it makes its way back
Passing my days, don't wish for better than that
Why because it isn't done
You must become someone and hold your head up high
Why because it isn't right, you must aim few dizzy heights
And castles in the sky
Why do we stick to our gun, fighting those battles the we think we have won
Some people could call it insane
How we all worship the profit and pain
Never believing that we are to blame
Why can't they get it straight spending all their time
Queuing up in line, all waiting for the breaks and
Making big mistakes, - and suddenly you're crying -
You say you've paid your fare - I know you're only buying
Somewhere so you can sit in the sun catch a few fish and feel everyone
Somewhere so you can lie on your back watching the moon
As it makes its way back
Why? because its all been done, you've now become someone
And hold your head up high
Why? because it seems alright, you've got your dizzy heights
And castles in the sky
People Don't Care
Promises are made and broken everyday
And lovers soon become old friends
You'll have to use your head
If you don't wanna lose your heart
And broken hearts don't ever mend
Thats when you find people don't care
Thats when you find people don't care
They've cheated and they've lied
They've forgotten how to cry
So its no wonder why people don't care
I don't wanna make a fuss but I had bug dreams for us
Now dreams are something in my past
For the dreams I dreamed of you won't be coming true
This broken heart will be my last
I don't know what I will do when I find somebody new
I will probably break her heart
I'll take pleasure out of pain as I tell her once again
I never loved her from the start
My Baby
My baby does the dishes, My baby cooks the vice
My baby just loves me and loves me makes me feel so nice
My baby does the loading, My baby points the gun
My baby does the aiming and shooting, says its so much fun
Baby is a Bou-Wow we don't need a dog
Baby's in the Know-how she's got me sleeping like a log
Baby takes the humdrum out of any job
My baby does the dealing my baby shoots the crap
My baby's got the whole wide world sitting in her cap
My baby's in the future my baby's in the past
My baby's spending everyday like its gonna be her last
My baby does the smoothing, she irons out the crease
My baby does the packing and stacking at the end of the lease
My baby's worth a million my baby play the ace
My baby's kicking life on its butt, with a smile on her face
