Nothing

i didn't do anything today
lazyhead
i didn't do anything today
stay in bed
i'm finally doing what i said i'd never do
i'm doing nothing
i'm doing it for you
and you will admire the ultimate courage
when i throw everything right in the garbage for you
i didn't say anything today
nothing said
i didn't think anything today
emptyhead
i'm finally doing what i said i'd never do
i'm saying nothing
i'm saying it at you
and i will get helpers i'm recruiting them now
i'll show them nothing to do i will show them how
and we will do nothing
we'll do it together

Dispossesion

My coat, leave behind my coat and my belt,
Leave behind my coat and all that,
I don't want it back...
It's called undertown and it's over that way.
Some people leave in the morning,
Some people when they go to bed.
Inside, it's been rotting for a long time now,
Ever since I found out
I? not to blame if I get left out.
My coat, leave behind the looks, magazines and books.
Don't want it back.
We're going away, we're dropping the lot.
We'll take another tack if we ever get stopped.
It's the last plan we made before we came unglued.
Everything I touch is on the blink.
Gotta find a place to land, find a place to think.
Who are you people?

Your Legs Grow

If you were here
baby we'd increase the dose
there was no fear
in my room when we got close
call me anytime you've got a ghost
you're the only person in the world
i feel that way about
and if you move off to the side
i'll get swept back out
where it's cold but not that deep
cos your legs grow
cold but not that deep
cos your legs grow
there's a lot that rises up
from the bottom of the lake
and its beam has hit me hard
now i'm wide awake
where it's cold but not that deep
cos your legs grow
cold but not that deep

80 Windows

clusters of people
talking secretly to each other.
in a bar you cannot talk openly
to anyone you don't already know.
4 year olds, they have got the right idea:
they jump the line
and hit it on the nose.
when we sit and we get quiet,
then we look and see who's home.
across the way there are 80 windows we can see,
it's christmastime and they all have the same tree.
you tell me the patterns you already see,
i wonder if they see us in our bed.
you said you like the one
with the father who always eats with his son.
i like the rows of lights
because they keep me calm.
i feel far away from you. so what else is new?
the moon is closer to the sun than i am to anyone.

The Way You Wear Your Head

Dont push me cause Ill fall in love
With whatever you just said.
Dont push me cause I'll fall in love
With the way you wear your head.
Out in the corner
Youre glowing white
Out in the corner
Youre glowing white
I want to want you
I need to need you
Id love to love you
I want to want you
I need to need you
Im begging to beg you
Out in the corner
Youre glowing white
Out in the corner
Youre glowing white
Id like to say good-bye
To a complicated mind

Amateur

you make me feel like im ok
i could be happy
now i can sit not run away
stupidly laughing
wipe out all self pity
it's slowing me down
turn off feeling pretty
dressing up dressing down
i walk around the city
out of my way, lookin for somethin
i've got all i need to save my day
so why am i running
you said i should get professional help
it always makes me cry
i know im just an amateur but
ive gotta try
i had a birthday party
and it was packed, got friends who love me
we hold the disco ball up and watch the lights
they were so lovely

Where Is My Mind

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
You tried this trick, and spin it
Your head would collapse but theres nothing in it, so you ask your self
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
I was swimming in the carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except for the fish and it told me
I swear its trying to talk to me
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
You tried this trick, spinning
Your head would collapse but theres nothing in it, so you ask your self
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Telescope

i think i lost some years, sometimes i don't know how
i forget to remember now
you used to tell me things that you were thinking
now we don't even talk, that's what i'm thinking
let's have a day outside for the lonely
they're gonna cry tonight
i've got some stuff in a box, maybe i'll show you sometime
but the box would think that was unwise
some days the view from here, it means nothing
i woke up with the fear again this morning
let's have a day outside in the sun
play around and have a lot of fun
we've got some telescopes in our hands
just try to keep them pointed at the land
let's have a day outside tonight
i've been distracted from the things that i wanna do
i've been distracted from the way i wanna be for you

Silent Fighting

don't know what to say
don't know what to talk about
don't know what to do
about me and you
I don't know what to think
I always feel time's running out
it's getting harder
harder to get a clue
even when we're quiet fighting
silent treatment on the street
still there's no doubt we're going home together
even when we're silent fighting
making a scene on the street
we'll be under the covers and out of the weather
I just can't tell the truth
always thinking 'bout leaving you
i'll be the captive
you'll be the captain
i'll be your chaperone
i'll book your first date now

Spooky

do you remember lying on the ground
you were smart and spooky
we rented a car and left our bags
and drove outside the city
i remember the view
it was the stars and you
we thought that this was the one
both of our ships had come
when i went away you made me a book
full of goodnight letters
i answered each one
and we made plans
for when we'd be together
but when we wanted more
i told you i wasn't sure
it started a storm, it started a storm
you think it's all my fault
i think it's all your fault
that we were never so together, so together
everywhere we went, was everywhere we went
