Manchester Girl
She hides in the library reading Henry Miller books,
'Til they flash the lights, its time to go,
When she was a little kid she said,
Dad, I don't know why I feel so penniless inside,
She's on the promenade,
She's looking for a dress,
She's locked outside a world,
Just a Manchester girl,
Oh I'll meet you there,
By the old newsstand,
Oh I'll meet you there tonight,
Shoot out at a nieghbor's house,
She pulls the covers over her head,
She's counting the shots as they go by,
In Pandora's litter box,
Well it's getting mighty high,
That cat's gonna keep her up at night,
Another scary dream,
Another cigarette,
She's locked outside a world,

I Write The B-Sides
I write the b-sides
That make a small portion of the world cry
I like the sea-side
And singing songs that make you not wanna die
Throw a stone into the sea
And wait for it to come back to me
Better get out on the boat
Cos someone told me that stones dont float
I like to sit out back
And look up at the squirrels in the trees
They dont like radio tracks
And they dont ever talk down to me
Throw a nut up in the tree
Gonna fall right back on me
Well these guys know who they are
And what they needs in their own backyard
Whoo-ooh
Whoo-ooh
I like to play in the snow
I stick my hand in, now where did it go?

Dark End Of The Street
At the dark end of the street
That's where we'd always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know that time's gonna take it's toll
We've got to give back all the love that we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh but our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away, to the dark end of the street
They're going to find us
They're going to find us
They're going to find us
Oh someday
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
And if by chance we walk downtown
If you should see me just walk on by
But darling, please don't cry

Jennifer Ecles
White chalk, written on red brick
Our love, told in a heart
Its there, drawn in the playground
Love, kiss, hate or adore
I love jennifer eccles
I know that she loves me
I love jennifer eccles.
I know that she loves me.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I used to carry her satchels.
She used to walk by my side.
But when we got to her doorstep
Her dad wouldnt let me inside
One monday morning, found out Id made the grade.
Started me thinking that maybe she done the same?
I hope jennifer eccles is going to follow me there.
Our love is bound to continue.
Love, kiss, hate or adore.
I love jennifer eccles
I know that she loves me

Souljacker
Any parts in italics are not know for sure.
22 miles of hard road
33 years of tough luck
44 skulls buried in the ground
Crawling down through the muck
Oh yeah
Johnny don't like the teacher
Johnny don't like the school
One day johnny is goinna to do somethin'
Show 'em he's nobody's fool
Oh yeah
Chorus
Sisters brothers make better lovers
Family affairs are under the covers...
Gina clocks the broken hearts
Won't let you leave until you're bleeding
Sally don't like her daddy
Sally don't like her friends
Sally and johnny are watchin' tv
Waitin' for it to end

Jeannies Diary
How does our world spin
Without me and her nest
Could there really be
Such happiness
Oh, shes got a dark side too
Even murderous
But I love that
Just like here
I dont have a change at writing the book
I just wanna be a page
In jeannies diary
One single page
In jeannies diary
Yes I am intense
Maybe quite obsessed
Everything she does is curious
Oh, shes going to let me in
I just know its so
Then again, who do I kid
I dont have a prayer at writing the book

Bus Stop Boxer
I dont miss where I came from
But each night I dream about being back home
When I wake up in the morning
Im too tired, tired of being alone
So I get up and go downtown
And pick me out a little piece of ground
Where I can prove something to the world
I can prove something to the world
Dont look at me
Im the bus stop boxer x2
Daddy put us in the truck and
Dropped us off and said good luck, then
One lucky kid waiting for the bus
Made a winner out of one of us
Dont look at me
Im the bus stop boxer x2
Going down by the railroad tracks, where
People know that they better not relax
Im the man, baby, I am the man
This is where I can make you understand

Losing Streak
Was I wrong about the world?
It's a beautiful new place
Where else could a creep like me
Meet such a pretty face?
Meeting everyday with the rising sun
Looking up, it's looking like
My losing streak is done
Used to always feel like
Wished that I was dressed better
Never had a lot of luck
Until I finally met her
Feeling like the weepin' weighed a ton
Lifted off my shoulders now
My losing streak is done
Always felt like giving in
To the feeling I can't win
But I took it on the chin
Now I'm finally cashin' in
??? everyday with the rising sun
Looking up, it's looking like

Bad News
Guess Im doing something wrong
Never feel right in these shoes
A pocket full of matches and a head full of flames
Got to warn you that Im bad news
She tugs me in and then she screams
One day you will have to choose
Either take care of me or take care of you
And dont pretend youre not bad news
Come on now Ill take you home
You dont have a thing to lose
But stick around long enough and youll find out
I am nothing but bad news
You can never change where youre from
No matter who I will accuse
Gonna get on with a better life
And one day I wont be bad news
Cause its the same
Every day when I wake up
Its the same
In the way that you
