Your figure like your friendship
Gradually grows and grows
The clothes that you thought that you'd shrunk
Their size just froze

When the body that you thought of as yours
Just ups and goes
I'll be happy with the weight
Of the partner that I chose

Your quick-st

The part of love that i'm scared of
Is the actual taking off
I can take a bumpy landing
But the start must be soft
Soft, soft, soft
It must be soft

Some men need your attention
Every minute, every hour
Some women need the proof
In every chocolate, every flow

I've seen these people described as mad
But find men kissing too odd
Say all their friends are gay when in fact
They gave a man in tight vest a quick nod

And all those threats if you keep kissing
They're gonna go report you to god
Yet if Christ really had that many disc

Close your legs, open your mind
Leave those compliments well behind
Dig a little deeper into yourself
And you may find
Come over here just sit right down
Needn't comb your hair, needn't pout or frown
I hear you've turned our young men
Into dribbling clowns
36d so

Close your legs, open your mind
Leave those compliments well behind
Dig a little deeper into yourself
And you may find
Come over here just sit right down
Needn't comb your hair, needn't pout or frown
I hear you've turned our young men
Into dribbling clowns
36D so

Guard your body with the best barbed wire
And ward off foe with the fiercest of fire
But let love unguarded into the strangest of nights

Wear your dresses like they're up for hire
And leave them with your humour in the tumble dryer
And watch yourself stumble down a lane wit

I need a little time
To think it over
I need a little space
Just on my own
I need a little time
To find my freedom
I need a little time

Funny how quick the milk turns sour, isn't it, isn't it?
Your face has been looking like that for hours, hasn't it, hasn'tit?<

It's been a long day in the field for us all
Catching balls and dropping balls
It's been a long life in this world
Catching hearts and dropping hearts
Like hearts were meant to bounce
Like hearts were meant to bounce
I'm sure

The wave that you just missed
Could'

With a minute's silence for the dead
And a minute's silence for the long-lost lovers
No one's really in the mood for beer

With a minute's silence for the child
And a minute's silence for the grieving mothers
There's not much talking going down here

With a minute's sil

No piece of sky
For you Jimmy lad
They always blame him
They knew Jimmy was bad
His own fault entirely
To die without sound
That's how it is
One staring at the ground

And he wears his isolation
As a widow wears a shroud
They hammered him with discipline<

I want expensive not cheap
And all the secrets that you keep
Should be quietly put to sleep
Not then not when not yet this week

I have told a thousand lies
But this time he is surprised
Cut the alibis from my eyes
From my eyes
Eyes

One sample of your wit

You should be a singer
I swear it's true
No-one could make them
Cry like you
Billie Holliday would pale beside you
Cos you sure got a way with the blues

See you around, dressed to thrill
Smile for me baby
If looks could kill
I bet your boyfriends don't have

(Heaton/Rotheray)
Like the contents of your handbag
You don't know why it's there
People ask you where you're heading
You just answer "anywhere"

We don't mean to be this vague
It just happens that we are
No-one asked us to elaborate
We just shrug our shou

Planning permission tied to post
We read when we're waiting for bus
Is always double-checked 'cause we so often suspect
They plan to build something on us
What they'll build, neither here nor there
It's what they'll bury that counts
And how far down they'll push us this t

Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leaving their baby behind

Did you hear this poor little child
was only nine years of age
When mother and dad went away
S

You've heard it said a thousand times
But only heard his Broadway lines
So baby please go, ain't, ain't part of the show
Cause when your Romeo needs no cue or prompt
The likelier your little heart be stomped by
Baby don't go written, wrtten into his show

Cause in the We

This is the dinner prepared
This is the dress that I made
This is the child I brought up
And this is the woman you laid
This is the woman you laid

This is the perfume I wore
This is the hotel we stayed
This is the way that I lay
And

My pod is bigger than your pod
My life is bigger than your life
My mouth is bigger than your mouth
Your age is bigger than my age
Your height, my height
Your weight, my weight

My love is bigger than your love
Your fist is bigger than mine
My son is bigger than y

Big coin that you toss for heads or tails
Big coin that you let slip down the drain
Big coin didn't find where it landed
Big coin, big coin

Big coin that you dropped in the river
Little raft that took you across
Little hand that pulled it from th

Eyes to take you dancing,
Mouth to leave your wife,
Legs to run away with, and you wonder why
Heart that makes you bypass every other girl
Smile that keeps you grinning at the madness of this world

And like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you,
