The Face Smiles Back Easily - Hundred Mile High City B-side

Its not the way that you look
Or the way that you comb your hair
I know well always be there
By the look, by the book
And your troops and your devil may care
I know well always be there
I know well always be there
And by the way your eyes are shining through
Theres nothing to do but wake up in light
And like the way your eyes they shine with the sun
And lighten everyone who wakes up in time to see
The face smiled back easily
I know well always be there
By the look, by the book
And your troops as your devil may care
I know well always be there
I know well always be there
Its not the way that you look
Or the way that you comb your hair
I know well always be there (x3)

I Just Need Myself

Ill die before I get to sleep
When screaming shadows haunt my dreams
Im cold and soaking wet when daylight shows its face
This fear will always get in your way
And I can hear so much
That I miss it everyday
It finds me deep in love and deeper down the lane
I dont know too much but I know what I want to say
I Just Need Myself
Please leave me when you see me fall
Oh please I have to climb that wall
And from the top of it you can nearly see your face
But dont let this ever get in your way
Repeat Chorus
Im not going to walk on sinking sand
Ill sail this day to higher land
and when the sun is high, and Ill let my music say
These things will never get in your way
Repeat Chorus

Its A Beautiful Thing

Sonny went and flipped away and said he had to go
How could you ever say he never stayed alone
And how could I belong with anyone you know
Come on every lines a line Ill never know
Oh......its a beautiful thing
Oh......its a beautiful thing
Sometimes I can get along alone enough
Backing everyone away and never have enough
And how could I be playing every line for you
Look at the things today that I can never choose
(repeat chorus)
Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again
Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again
Sometimes I could never ever ever fade again
And how could I be playing every line for you
Look at the things today that I can never choose
(repeat chorus)

On My Way

Father forgive me
But I don't care
Taking off the things they wear
In lines
She's got a family
Now they stay inside
Don't think she'll make it home tonight
And I'm on my way to the next town
And I'm on my way in a hurry and I'm on my way
My head down and down and down
And I'm on my way
Don't worry
Don't look straight at me
Get that straight
Get out and leave before the next day
He made it happen
But I digress
I believe that something must have happened
Repeat Chorus
Take me alive take me tonight

Take You Back - Up On The Downside B-side

Resting so alone
Way back home
Waiting for a long
Way to go
Nothing if I take you back
Id rather never take you back for you
Waiting so fast
For a way to go
Wrestling with the past
Long way to go
Nothing if I take you back
Id rather never take you back for you
I got more than I can have cant really say
I get more than I can use day to day
I get more time to take you back
Id rather never take you back for you
Waiting so alone
Long time ago
Waiting so hard
On the radio

Big Star

I don't want to be another big star
Picking at your cars
Stealing at your clothes
Finding out what you don't know
You don't know

I don't want to be your big star
Picking your calls; saying I don't know
I don't want to be your suitor
Lacking at your feet
Trying to love the things you need

And you know I've heard this before
And you know I've heard it some more
Won't you give me a chance
To break down your door
But I sit
Oh Oh
I still sit here

Take You Back

Resting so alone
Way back home
Waiting for a long
Way to go
Nothing if I take you back
I'd rather never take you back for you
Waiting so fast
For a way to go
Wrestling with the past
Long way to go
Nothing if I take you back
I'd rather never take you back for you
I got more than I can have can't really say
I get more than I can use day to day
I get more time to take you back
I'd rather never take you back for you
Waiting so alone
Long time ago
Waiting so hard
On the radio

Jane She Got Excavated

Jane she got excavated
By a trader dealing in old lines
Then she got a paper
From a mailer telling her more lies

Chorus (sing first half on first chorus):
So here we go
Down an endless road where we know
Nothing good here will ever grow
We're wasting our own time
And better know
Everyday life will carry on
Everyday when you're not so strong
You're wasting your own time

Says she knows more than she lets on
That's how she gets on when she is outside
When the wind comes on harder
She needs a shelter of their warm lies

Fleeting Mind

The brilliance of my fleeting mind
Chimes like voices in foreign caves
It chimes in time - takes me where Im going
Alone my fleeting mind is knowing
Believe it when I pin it down
And thats not hard to forget
With my hands upon my knees
You will steal from my fleeting mind
Remember all our words they are just smoke rings in the rain:
Thats just a poem in brilliant places
But poets, they are too grim
They steal like party thieves from crowded rooms
To rhyme their homes with better places
The brilliance of their minds
Will seek with never knowing
Alone my fleeting mind is knowing
Believe it when I pin it down
And thats not hard to forget
With my thought like sifting leaves
I believe in my fleeting mind.

Chelsea Walk

I went down to Chelsea Walk
Where the sun doesn't shine at all
And I went looking for something for me
But I came back with nothing at all
Except an old man who could not see
But he said that he knew God
Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk

Now I've been down to Chelsea Walk
Where the sun just refuses to shine
And I ran back to my little room
And I jumped straight into a bottle of wine
You know I'll be alright for just a day
But tomorrow I must wake
Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk
Oh... Chelsea Walk
