Second Hand Car

In a second hand car you ran away with him
You did'nt get too far before he made you cry
And he beat on you - Oh he never treated you
More something on his shoe walk on by - on by
Its time - time to run away from him
A man don't act that way and you know he'll never change
Its a way to love - knocked down and bruises too
And its a way for him to knock down and use you
I'll send a ticket to you - I'll send the fare to you
I'll say a prayer for you - and it makes me cry - me cry
Its time - time to run away from him
A man don't act that way and you know he'll never change
It's time - time for you to come on home
But the world don't seem that way and you know it'll never change
Never change, never change
It's such a rare report - she got lost on him
I get lost in thought - hope she walks on by
I'll make the time to give - If you don't give a damn
We'll make a home and live
Without you and we can

Expensive Chair - Its A Beautiful Thing B-side

Your face is looking like
Someone you forgot you used to know
You were looking for rhymes and reason
They forgot the things you used to know
You came to rely on good fortune
Your mothers screaming low
With the sky in the eye
And jump through the window
Youve made your own room at the top
Well its getting thin on air
Still you look at me from your most expensive chair
And when youre feeling fit to drop
And you find theres no one there
Still you look at me from your most expensive chair
You dont wanna shout about it
When theres nothing you care to know
Your friends they just laugh about it
In the places that you never go
You cannot deny your good fortune
Your friends they wont let go

Tele He's Not Talking

Tele he's the one he knows what to say
Knows how to find his own way
He knows the roads by night and by doorways
But watching the light in a hall
Won't change a thing or say at all
What it is that he says

Still he says that I don't know
Still he says that I don't know

I don't why I think about so much
When I don't know what it is I can't say
And I wouldn't change a thing if I believe you all
And scream it in your face

Still I'd say hey I don't know
Still I'd say hey I don't know

Tele deals the cards and draws an ace
And finds himself miles away

Get Away

Well I used to be a listener - there was nothing left to get
About what you are and what you havent been yet
And some of them like to tell a story that is long and old
And couch it in indifference and the wine
That they were sold to get away
Well someones got to tell them that its not deserved,
Rehearsed or written down by playwrights over time
Just picking up on a nerve.
And some of them got a difference that they reserve for you
Well I like them all but I dont trust any of them
Well shouldnt you, just get away
Well I used to think my freedom was a lot of things Id give,
Demanding on my time but I had so much time to give,
And I used to think that everything was a knee in what you are.
But finding out the truth that hurts
So I never went that far
I always get away
Well it comes down to the fact that Im now different from the past,
Demanding all my ideals its just trying to make them last,
And some of the things that you say theyre ringing home so true,

Day We Caught The Train

I never saw it as the start its more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot I laid my plans in solid rock
Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away,
looking at the trees on the roadside feeling its a holiday.
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away.
Roll a number write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train.
He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
I'll miss the crush and I'm home again.
Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away,
step into the sky in the starbright feeling its a brighter day.
You and I should ride the tracks and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
and you and I when we're coming down we're only getting back
and you know I feel no sorrow.
When you find that things are getting wild don't you need days like these

So Low

If anyone rises at 6.31
And fakes all day that
They're having their fun
They never did get it right
Since they got it so low

To anyone drinking the morning away
The afternoon will prove a mistake
They never will get it right
Now they've got it so low

And we laugh and we drink
And we teach ourselves not to think
(And we find it hard not to think)
We never did get it right
Since we got it so low

To all the faces that
Freeze for you there
In your memory when you try not to care

Flowers - Giving It All Away B-side

Renegades and shifting shades
And the lights in your face
And you friends talk lying
But some of them got flowers in their room
When its on and youre falling on every floor
That youre hoping to score
And youre every night ? ? ?
But some of them got flowers in their room
But some of them got flowers in their room
But some of them got flowers in their room
Hear the word that the man on the stairs
Knows your every affair and is holding your hand
And he says some of them got flowers in their room
And he screams in a face
But the smile on the face is cool and its cold
And it reads vacated
And some of them got flowers in their room
And some of them got flowers in their room
And some of them got flowers in their room
And I take someone home and I cant be alone

Another Girls Name - Yesterday Today B-side

Go take your bags away
Get out of my home
Get out of my life
I dont want you hanging round
And I dont want you to be my wife
When I go to the cafe
I sit in the seat that faces the mirror
I look at my face today
And I look such a wreck today
I knew you well for five minutes and one day
O-oh no way, josie
I dont ? ? ? ugly views
And Im not interested in family muse
And ? ? is boring and conversation pours
Even when were in bed
I wanna rearrange your head
Put down the covers
And get you up against the wall
Shoot good babe
Well I knew you well for five minutes and one day

The Riverboat Song

I see double up ahead
Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
Like a king who stalks the wings and shoots a dove
And frees an eagle instead
Its more or less the same as the things that you said
I see trouble up the road
Like the things you found in love are by the way
And like to cheat on your soul
Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control
Before you lie on your bed
Its more or less the same as the things that you said
Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red
Anyway for all the things youve seen tell me when will the river run green
And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
Its more or less the things you fail to say in your way thats your trouble
Like a king who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars
And his double
Its more or less the same as the things that you said
