Big Bluff
04:08

Angela climb the stairs on a summer's eve
She closed and locked the bathroom door again
She had a drink and slashed her wrists into the sink
And bled 'til help came
Whispering, "the promises, the promises..."
It's a big bluff on a white horse and I'm lonely
And on Thanksgiving day she slipped away before desert came
Out to the barn where she'd had it planned weeks before
Nervous glances over coffee and then silence
"Don't worry mother, dear. She's taken to wandering"
It's a big bluff on a white horse and I'm lonely
The rope too coarse, the knot too tight, the drop too long
The nephew cried, "cut her down please,
she's not suffering anymore"
It's a big bluff on a white horse and I'm lonely
It's a big bluff on a white horse and I'm sorry
It's a big bluff on a white horse and I'm falling
It's a big bluff on a white horse and I'm sorry

Under The Weather

Why don't you give it to me?
Why don't you give it to me?
Why don't you give it to me right now
All in one piece so maybe we can get some sleep
You're always dallying with me
Why don't you stop it, 'cus I hate it
And this ain't the way it should be
Under suspicious
Under the gun
Under the pressure
Playing dumb
Don't lose the will to carry on when there's no-one else
Under the weather
Underground
Out of position
Odd man down
Under suspicious
Under the gun
Under illusion
Playing dumb
I feel, I feel, I feel...
Under the weather
Underground
Out of position
Odd man down
When you taste the paste from coast to coast
What is the motivation that means the most?

We Don't Talk
02:53
|
|||
Plenty of words and phrases pass over your lips
Talking down with the rats going down with the ship
Gratuitous smiles that spearhead the bullshit disguise
It's platitudes on platitudes
It's lies upon lies upon lies
We don't talk no more
And if we did - what for?
Go on and play the game
But if you change the names is it still the same?
Help me help me pen this verse
And keep me from the waiting hearse
This poisoned logic must disperse
And leave me alone with my curse
4,000 miles from sea to seek the finest meat
Can you pass the mustard please?
Ollie Ollie All Come Free
Forget the shit you did me
No one came to kick the can
They feared the fans of the also-rans
Go on and play the game
But if you change the names is it still the same?
