Come back to me awhile
Change your style again
Come back to me awhile
Change your taste in men
It's been this way since Christmas Day
Dazzled, doused in gin
Change your taste in men
Come back to me awhile
Change your style again
Come back to me awhile
Change your taste in men
I'm killing time on Valentine's
Waiting for the day to end
Change your taste in men
Come back to me awhile
Change your style again
Come back to me awhile
Change your taste in men
It's been this way since Christmas Day
Dazzled, doused in gin
Change your taste in men x10
The Bitter End
Since we're feeling so anesthetized
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home
We're running out of alibies
From the second of May
Reminds me of the summer time
On this winter's day
See you at the bitter end [x2]
Every step we take that's synchronised
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home
You showered me with lullabies
As you're walking away
Reminds me that it's killing time
On this fateful day
See you at the bitter end [x4]
(From the time we intercepted
Feels more like suicide...
You showered me with lullabies...
We're running out of alibies...)
[difficult part to transcribe as Brian sings over his own voice!]
See you at the bitter end [x3]
The Crawl
It takes the pain away
that could not make you stay
it's way to broke to fix
no glue, no bag of tricks
Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
lay me down to crawl
Your smile would make me sneeze
when we were Siamese
Amazing grace in here
I'd pay to have you near
Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
lay me down to crawl
Don't go and lose your face
at some stranger's place
and don't forget to breathe
and pay before you leave
Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
lay me down to crawl
Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
lay me down to crawl
This Picture
I hold an image of the ashtray girl
As the cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
That put my friendship to the test
And late at night
Whilst on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture?
Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
Watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken centre floor
We know we miss her
We miss her picture
Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
For fear of growing old
Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
We know we miss her
We miss her picture
Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
For fear of growing old
Hang on
Though we try
It's gone
Hang on
Though we try
It's gone
Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
For fear of growing old
Can't stop growing old...
Without You I'm Nothing
Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide
I'll take it by your side
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide
I'll take it by your side
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies
I'll take it by your side
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide
I'll take it by your side
tick, tock x3
tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tock
I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
Your slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen
You never see the lonely me at all
I...
Take the plan, spin it sideways
I...
Fall
Without you, I'm Nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Take the plan, spin it sideways
Without you, I'm nothing at all
