Count On Me If you ever change your situation think of me If you ever fill an obligation let me see Though I might not seem as down to earth as you may be If you change your mind then count on me If the day should ever come when you're not at your best When the friends your leaning on collapse like all the rest Look in my direction if you've got the will to see If you change your mind then count on me Well, all this time I've been hanging 'round just looking out for you All the while you've been feeling down not knowing what to do All this time I've been on my own just thinking 'bout no-one else All the time you've been by the 'phone not knowing how I felt When you're looking for the sun but all you see is cloud When you want to have some fun but don't fit in the crowd When the party's over and you just can't get to sleep When you change your mind then count on me

Vanity, Snake Hips And Hair I went to a place where the look on her face Told me everyone's favourite was there And over her shoulder, well I could've told her were Vanity, snake hips and hair But I don't want to I asked for the bill but she gave me a pill And then told me that I'd be alright The misunderstanding took place on her landing I asked her to stay for the night (She said) but I don't want to My ego was shaken She wouldn't be taken again and again and again I shouldn't have spoken the ground should've opened No shame, no shame, no shame, no shamen, no shame! I had to be sick but I had to be quick But too late- it was everywhere I really can't take it, I still never made it With Vanity, Snake hips and Hair Cos I don't want to

Danger Zone You and I were in the shadows waiting for the sun When all is said and done We're only having fun Some might say that time goes slow I have to disagree Cos when you're here with me The hours seem like minutes baby I could be your Danger Zone If I could get you all alone And I would be completely on your side You could be my wild idea I'm acting like a child right here And now I'm having thoughts I cannot hide I did it all for you Gonna take you to that beach and lay down on the sand Coincidences planned We just gave fate a hand Making sense of madness on a lonely moonlit shore I thought you wanted more I saw it in your brown eyes, baby.

Play Something We Know! Don't believe a great underachiever When he says enough's enough Shoot the dee jay When he says he's gonna play Some really awesome stuff Maybe I just wasn't listening properly Maybe it was all my fault Or maybe it was what you spent a lot of money on And it's something you regret you bought Stop your whining- clouds have silver linings And they'll stare you in the eye Love dilutes the boredom when the weather suits The colour of the sky Daddy wouldn't buy a car for you But still you're wanted home on time Your Mummy up and left you but she never gave a reason She didn't even leave a rhyme PLAY SOMETHING WE KNOW!

Can't Get Arrested So I woke to find the scene Wasn't how it should have been And the world just seemed to have it in for me And I couldn't wait to race For the door and try to chase All the things that aren't all they're cracked up to be But I lost my keys and on days like these You'll only remember shades of grey The future's bright not water tight Especially when you think you've lost your way- yeah. So I got back into bed And the thoughts that filled my head Were the kind of things you often see on screen Where the hero isn't dumb Doesn't struggle to become All the things he always said he might have been But I lost my thread and before I'm dead I'm going to pick it up again Yeah, before I rest if I'm heaven blessed I'm going to find another way-yeah You know I want to know why Though I've tried and I've tried and I've tested I can't get under the skin Of the law and get myself arrested But I'm not sure I want to be part of that game No I'm not sure I want to be part of that game.

It Wasn't What I Asked For Some of us were in the gutter Working for our bread and butter Comatose and grateful But it wasn't what I asked for Guess who's coming round for dinner Someone with a wicked grin A girl who gives me everything and Nothing that I ask for now As for now.... Do I live to work or work to live With feet of lead and a mind like a sieve I'm certain this wasn't what I asked for Do I read the papers every day? If i did i know what they'd say I'm certain this wasn't what I asked for What did I ask for? Here I stand on legs of fire Waiting for my heart's desire When it comes i know I'll cry It wasn't what I asked for Come in number 37 Waiting at the gates of heaven Death by misadventure It wasn't what I asked for now As for now....

Some Of My Best Friends Some of my best friends are dead-I watched them die I lost them to the tree lined streets-they're waiting To realise a dream By a melancholy stream Like a solitary writer Some of my best friends no longer have the time Some of them are in their garden waiting To realise a dream By a melancholy stream Like a solitary writer Hates to be alone With private faces on the 'phone So cast aside those emperor's clothes Tailor made for you by those Who's virtual reality became a bore I'd like to stick around and play some more with some of my best friends Some of my best friends are now my enemies Some of them I know just lie in waiting Where the wet paint never dries Where they sharpen up their knives Like the solitary fighter Hates to be alone With private faces on the 'phone

High Maintenance Girl I've seen her as I watch the world go by I've seen her from the corner of my eye I've seen her everywhere in every town I might look up to her but she looks down She's A High Maintenance Girl I'm sure her future has a lot in store She'll find a rainbow but she'll still want more The lights are on but there is no one in She's looking good but you should see her twin! She's A High Maintenance Girl She likes to keep an air of mystery It keeps away the ones like you and me She's good to look at but I think you'll find There's only one thing on her mind. She's A High Maintenance Girl

No Stone Unturned Dragging my heels cos I'm tired of walking You know how it feels when you ain't stopped talking too Am I getting through? Looking for space in a vacant corner Fill it with traces of hurt I'm warning you Am I getting through? Hanging around on high street corners Making sure I have left No stone unturned Telling you tales of the unexpected Breathing in life to the much neglected true Am I getting through? I'm hanging around on high street corners Making sure I have left No stone unturned Looking through a blinkered eye Was the only way of getting by Now I see it's just a sham I don't like it but it's how I am So maybe I'm on the lookout again for something I've never been And maybe I feel the need to explain something that I've never seen One day I'll find you and you'll smile at me And then I'll know that you're feeling happy too Am I getting through? 'Til then I'll be on high street corners Making sure I have left no stone Until then I'll be on high street corners Making sure I have left No stone unturned.

Old Peculiar I want to blame you for everything I've ever done or said Cos you see black and white and I see red I think I'll keep my fingers crossed instead, yeah yeah yeah! I want to shake you to find out if there's anyone at home To try to get some blood out of your stone But one of us will end up all alone yeah yeah yeah Old peculiar as a rule you were Down town down town Old peculiar wiser fool you were Down town down town I'm feeling like a hopeless case dreamer, dreamer Well I don't know if heaven takes dreamers, dreamers Something came alive Meanwhile something died I want to kill you but it wouldn't be enough to quench my thirst I'm sure it's not the best thing or the worst But I've got a feeling you will get me first yeah yeah yeah Old peculiar as a rule you were etc.. repeat last verse.

It's A Shame Nobody listens to us anymore Just like nobody makes a big fuss anymore As our lives go by quicker And jokes become sicker than pain It's a shame Our buildings are tall but our tempers are short It's a long way to fall without pausing for thought We have no way of knowing How we can stop going insane It's a shame We can't make your dreams come true We can't make your grey skies blue Sorry mister man Though we'll do the best we can We can't make your dreams come true Nobody listens to you anymore It's a strange situation and one that I'm sure That you've noticed while staring And quietly bearing the strain It's a shame Nobody puts on the brakes anymore Just like no-one can recognise fakes anymore Oh the great and the good are all made out of wood They're the same It's a shame We can't make your dreams come true We can't make your brown eyes blue We hope you'll understand Though your wish is our command We can't make your dreams come true Sorry mister man Though we'll do the best we can We can't make your dreams come true
