I Still Have That Other Girl
I have to say that we should finish it now
Before we weaken cause we already know this is wrong
I could give in, sometimes I think that I will
Despite the temptation I try to be very strong
In my reluctance seems a surprise
Its not cause I dont want you
But I just
Know I must... hesitate
Because I still have that other girl
In my head
I still have that other girl in my head
There may be ugly rumors that
I have been lying
There may be angry tears, but
Theyre never worth the crying
That is why
Sometimes i... hesitate
Because I still have that other girl
In my head
I still have that other girl in my head

Moods For Moderns
Moods for moderns (x4)
I get hit looking for a miss
I never thought that it would come to this
Moods for moderns (x4)
Though we may never be the same again
I am so proud that youve been taken in vain
What if none of your dreams come true?
I can never run from you
Theres never been a how dyou do
Theres never been an ending
Soon youll belong to someone else
And I will be your stranger just pretending
Moods for moderns
Memory lingers
I let you into
Foreign fingers
Moods for moderns (x4)
I never thought that would see the day
I never thought that I would give you away

My Mood Swings
She was smitten from the first
By a curious fellow
She said I love the way you talk
And with a a flounce she announces
I love the way that you pronounce it: marshmallow
So she liked to sing along
To her favourite song
From the year that she was born
She had mysterious affairs [? ]
And promptly work out what her age is [? ]
Chorus:
So speak to me
Just like you should
And then you can say those wicked things
And if you want
Well make it good
Before my mood swings
Well he looked like one of those
Who would take off his clothes
Like he would peel a tangerine

Black Sails In The Sunset
Vain boys are gonna have to swallow their pride this time
So let the punishment fit the crime
Its under the table
Under your skin
Into the cable
Is this the death of the glory youre in?
Chorus:
Black sails in the sunset
White noise going yakety-yak
All the money in the world will never bring your body back
Is it some mysterious dance nobody can do?
Thought I knew all the steps quite clearly
I dont have a clue
Oooh
Youre cinderella with a ball and chain
And the shoe seems to fit you
You tell the truth sometimes but
You wouldnt know it if it hit you
Is this some new trick
Wired up in your head?

Black Sails In The Sunset (live)
Vain boys are gonna have to swallow their pride this time
So let the punishment fit the crime
It's under the table
Under your skin
Into the cable
Is this the death of the glory you're in?
Chorus:
Black sails in the sunset
White noise going yakety-yak
All the money in the world will never bring your body back
Is it some mysterious dance nobody can do?

Im Not Angry
Youre upstairs with the boyfriend while Im left here to listen.
I hear you calling his name, I hear the stutter of ignition.
I could hear you whispering as I crept by your door.
So you found some other joker who could please you more.
Im not angry, Im not angry anymore.
Im not angry, Im not angry anymore.
Ooh, I know what youre doin.
I know where youve been.
I know where, but I dont care,
cause theres no such thing as an original sin.
Ive got this camera click, click, clickin in my head.
I got you talking with your hands, got you smiling with your legs.
Spent all my time in a vanity factory,
Wonderin when theyre gonna come and take it all back.

The Imposter
Trying to be too bad
Trying to talk too tough
Trying to jack the lad
Youd think hed had enough
But hes not the man youd think that he can be
I just dont know why you cant see
That he is only the imposter
That he is only the imposter
Youve never been this far
Youve always been too smart
And you know all our boys
Are really girls at heart
But hes not...
When I said that I was lying I might have been lying
Never let me hear you say youre not trying
This is your big decision
Hope youre not disappointed
Hes got double vision
When you want him double jointed
And hes not...

From A Whisper To A Scream
Oh its not easy to resist temptation
Walking around looking like a figment of somebody elses imagination
Taking evry word she says just like an open invitation
But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation
Chorus:
Like a finger running down a seam
From a whisper to a scream
So I whisper and I scream
But dont get me wrong
Please dont leave me waitin too long
Waitin too long
Waitin too long
Waitin too long
Hey
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh if the customers like it then theyll keep on paying
If they keep on drinking then theyll end up staying
I heard someone say where have we met before
But the one over the eight seem less like one or more like four

The King Of The Unknown Sea
(words: costello, music: michael thomas)
Beneath the turquoise pools and emerald jewels
There lie the broken spines of seven ships
The skulls of careless fools and coins of gold
Pour from the banks that proffer puckered lips
I am the king of all of you
The timid land
The unknown sea
And all that lies between
So then come away you frail of breath
You feeling tired of life
And scared of death
You stain the air with your half hearted wit
A few steps more will make an end of it
-chorus
Shell wander on a strand of dying light
Shell wonder who may answer whispered prayers
The coral and the pearl that hold you tight
May grace the throat of those the ocean spares

Weird Nightmare
Weird nightmare
You haunt my every dream
Weird nightmare
Tell me whats your scheme?
Can it be that youre a part
Of a lonely broken heart?
Weird nightmare
Why must you torment me?
Weird nightmare
Pain and misery
In a heart thats loved and lost
Take away the grief youve caused
Cant sleep at night
Twist, turn in fright
With the fear that Ill live it all again
In my dreams
Youre there to haunt me
When you say she doesnt want me
Ive been hurt
Do you know what that means?
