You played me right, but set me up wrong, really thought I knew ya I gave my nights for far too long now it's comin' back around to ya I let my lustful eye start to dream dropped my guard and let you it Told myself a lie and hid between two pages full of sin so did i play too long come on too strong did somebody let you know was it my last touch that was a touch too much or is that just how it goes did I see romance in your harlot's dance a shroud behind your smile you play your angel in white but it ain't quite right that ain't your real style If I twist my knife hold your breath whisper your last words a tongue to the right a little to the left and tease you just where it hurts if looks could kill you'd play your hand hold your aces high If skin could thrill I'd have you understand beauty won't get you by leather on lace cover your face in your sinful disgrace Twist and turn rising sun I'll watch you burn And when I held her in the night I thought my nightmares could be over When she held my hand so tight Laid her head upon my shoulder

Beautiful Crazy 03:26

Her day starts with a coffee And ends with a wine Takes forever gettin' ready So she's never on time for anything When she gets that come-get-me look in her eyes Well, it kinda scares me The way that she drives me wild And she drives me wild Beautiful, crazy She can't help but amaze me The way that she dances Ain't afraid to take chances And wears her heart on her sleeve Yeah, she's crazy But her crazy's beautiful to me She makes plans for the weekend Can't wait to go out Till she changes her mind And says, "Let's stay on the couch and watch TV" And she falls asleep Beautiful, crazy She can't help but amaze me The way that she dances Ain't afraid to take chances And wears her heart on her sleeve Yeah, she's crazy But her crazy's beautiful to me She's unpredictable, unforgettable It's unusual, unbelievable How I'm such a fool Yeah, I'm such a fool for her Beautiful, crazy She can't help but amaze me The way that she dances Ain't afraid to take chances And wears her heart on her sleeve Yeah, she's crazy

Patchwork Heart 04:44
lyrics

Bar tender calls closing time on my patchwork heart Stories that have pages torn she sellotapes with smiles The cracks within our crystal glass faced away from our guests Silver shining cutlery we turn them stain side down Two characters in a sitcom script written for a black and white tv set Like the split going up her sixties skirt That she'll pretend was meant I'm winding up our carriage clock Its last tick long since gone She's darning my last birthday's socks To keep our heating on I'll nail and stick the skirting boards To hide the flaking walls I'm using last week's Sunday times for the Fireplace draught in the hall White washed walls for family photographs above the mantle piece Beneath the rug chocolate tea pot hiding from the lens We're not that scarred when covered up with camouflage bandages Zip them up with our last smiles showing off our sewed up silk The anthems of our catastrophe sing from the stereo Evenings on a corner couch in the middle of the floor Poetry reads differently from a Torah scroll Each holy book an epitaph by my patchwork heart Bar tender calls closing time on my patchwork heart

Candle in the Night 03:00
lyrics

There was a time when I was lost in the dark Needed a flame to light my way Your kinda love was the healin' kind Now I hope that you'll stay Until the end of time my love And through the darkest night After the sun goes down Walking in candle light With you A tear in my eye as I kiss you farewell But I know it's not goodbye I'll take your hand as I whisper goodnight I'll dry your tears when you cry Until the end of time my love And through the darkest night After the sun goes down Walking in candle light With you By my side You put the love of an angel In this lonely heart of mine And you put a light to the candle In my darkest night I'll stay awake for ever Just to see you smile I'd give my heart my love my life To know That you're alright Until the end of time my love

Silent Tears 05:55
lyrics

Morning swallows write their stories in her eyes My heart follows hears the poetry of her mind The dawn glistens with her smile from last night My heart listens to her love within the light And if she cried a thousand words If she wanted to say nothing If she needs me to take the hurt I will be right here To dry a thousand silent tears I will never let her down I decided made my mind up long ago To look inside and sing my heart out let her know It never mattered she wore her armour inside out Or hid her laughter behind shadows of her doubt I pray she'll let me stitch her heart tomorrow Take yesterday's tears each in turn Healing words for her to follow Dare I dream of her as my only one Incognito hides the silhouettes from her past The blind one sees all the musings on her path Retrospective tales line up to tell themselves Interconnected tapestries weave their way with coloured threads

Self Inflicted Wounds 06:05
lyrics

You got a lot of nerve blaming someone else for your mistakes You got a lot of nerve offering up your help, when you can't carry your weight Yeah, it's a put on another late night show Yeah, it's a put on pretending you don't know The self inflicted wounds You did 'em on your own Yeah, you were first to draw the knife Last to throw the stone Oh, the trust in me, I have abused Oh, take mercy on my Self inflicted wounds You never get away with trying to tell yourself one of your own lies You never get away holding back those tears trying not to cry Darling, hold on Let me try to explain Darling, hold on Tryin' to own all this pain The self inflicted wounds I did 'em on my own I was first to draw the knife Last to throw the stone Oh, your trust in me, I have abused Oh, take mercy on my Self inflicted wounds I'm looking for redemption Love's hallowed ground Yeah, I'm praying for forgiveness And I've searched around But there's none to be found Self inflicted wounds I did 'em on my own You were the first to draw the knife Last to throw the stone Oh, the trust in me, I have abused Oh, have mercy on my Self inflicted wounds Oh, have mercy on my Self inflicted wounds

Would You Steal my Grave as Quick 06:16
lyrics

How many dawns before you notice I ain't hangin' round your door How many pawns must you take Before your colour starts to show You're lyin' on silk sheets lickin' your wounds You're dryin' your eyes with your silver spoon You got your slaves to tend you under every moon You'll get your just desserts can't come to soon Your smile smells so sickly sweet When I saw you comin' I was in too deep You'd take my last and all for keeps When the truth cuts you back you sit and weep How much undeserved sympathy Will you take before you say You need a fresh well placed heart To was your guilt away All to serve your wicked heart You write your script play all the parts But you're daddy's little harlot after dark You've played me before so honey don't you start Is there a place in your agenda for the truth Or is it just so the blind will say poor you You play dumb swear it's just a point of view Spit polish your halo so it shines right through You might not like the dealer When you sit at the poker game Have you got the cards to see her When you can't shift the blame Up nor down, always around, tables turn Secret codes, tainted notes, handwriting burns With fraying wool, knits the fool, his tapestry A new day, is yesterday, a cast away Playin' your lucky numbers Just a card from twenty one Russian roulette torn asunder One chamber left in the gun Twisted laugh, paints photographs, stitch in time Place your blame, within my pain, fault is mine Lost my will, behind your frill, no one sees Everlast, shards of past, no one believe

I Was Born to Rock n Roll 04:12
lyrics
buy track
When you asked me what I was thinking did my heart say too much With my cigarettes and whisky drinkin' I was tryin' to get over her I was holed up in some hotel, chasin' non existent dreams When I realised I wasn't believing, in the love I'd sworn was real I thought I didn't want her to go but all I missed was rock n roll I'd done myself a favour just a few weeks later start to let it show I let her fuck with my head let her leave me for dead but I'm still hanging on This time last year she thought she'd be pissing on my gravestone When I hear the stage lights calling puts a fire back in my eyes So I pack my bags for my home town to see the run down streets in the light I knock the dust from my speakers take my guitar down from the wall She plays like I didn't leave her and I answer the blues man's call The seconds tick by on my wrist watch another day nearer the grave Getting bored of history repeating sick of same shit different day I didn't get my forever fairy tale nor my candle lit last dance First on the list of what she shoulda done, Shoulda killed me when she had the chance

Hanging on a Heartstring 04:35
lyrics
buy track
She searched for laughter And she played for time Doesn't mean disaster wasn't Just down the line She tried to hang on Tried to see it through But sometimes the pain Has got her walking out in the rain Watching it all, slip away Oh what's she written for tomorrow Has she decided all is said and done What will I wake up to tomorrow Will I be sitting crying Cos I can't do a single thing Hanging on a heart string I can only sit and write her So many lines Make her smile with a photograph Only so many times Sometimes the best intentions Ain't gonna heal her scars Another night she cries alone Her lights are on but she ain't home She draws the curtains her smile fades away She's a picture perfect dream A love story written for the silver screen She follows her heart her nightmares get between If i could be her last chapter Her happily ever after Could I let her be the one If I could take the first train to her heart If i could see love back in her eyes Id tell her I'd never leave her Tell her it'll be alright with time If I could find the smile She so often hides in the dark Behind a lock and key But could she smile just for me Could I be the one to take her hurt away

Durex Lead the Way 03:08

Sweet satisfaction with a silver bullet Power cut and the lights turn low She's fucking lucky i can see where to shoot it Hit the target by braille and I'm ready to go Cos I've been over the same ground More times than I can count my change I got her coming around Touch in the dark gonna drive her insane Taste on the tip of my tongue Just another sordid tale to tell Loaded trigger on my gun Twist of my knife to get heaven from hell A glinting red out the corner of my eye Two shots tequila and I'll go again A rope of silk in a neck tie A little white line to enflame my sense She's sayin to me honey what are you drinkin' A shot of whisky shot of something else Sweat in my eyes well it started stingin' A wicked angel she was heaven sent
