What Goes Around

I’ve never known somebody trample so many hearts
Oblivious to the hurt you cause, you’ve got it down to an art
Why are there so many good people grasping at the sky
For something you’ll take and use and ultimately just suck dry?
You know they say what goes around comes around?
I can’t wait to see it come around for you
Now you can call me bitter baby, if you want, that’s okay
But someday woman, maybe this dog will have his day
And maybe then you’ll be the one left stranded on your own
Yeah, maybe then you’ll be the one left reaping what you’ve sown
Oh, I know I’ve got love wrong so many times
At least I know I’m not the hurting kind
And if there’s a TV audience watching this explode
I think I know which one of us, which one would get their vote
And if there’s a judge sitting watching up there in the clouds
I think I know which one of us would go up and who’d go down
You know they say what goes around comes around?
I can’t wait to see it come around for you
Oh they say what goes around comes around
I can’t wait to see it come around for you

Broken Jaw

Bobby just stood there with a broken jaw
He’d heard something snap when it dropped through the floor
He knew it was coming, he just didn’t know when
His baby was leaving and wouldn’t be coming back again
Well now, she had here reasons and they weren’t just him
But she was taking the kids and she’d packed all their things
She said she was tired, that she needed a change
She said she still loved him and that he wasn’t to blame
And he cried:
“Then baby, don’t you do it
Oh honey, don’t you say it
Oh darling, don’t you leave me alone”
But it was too late, she’d made up her mind
She told the children to kiss their daddy goodnight
So Bobby hit the bottle like in days gone by
It wasn’t too long before he was cursing the sky
And he cried:
“Oh baby, why’d you do it?
Oh honey, why’d you say it?
Oh darling, why’d you leave me alone?”
In the small hours of the morning as gas filled the air
In the small hours of the morning, Bobby whispered a prayer
Karen just stood there by the front door
She’d come to say sorry for what she'd said before
Cos she’d made a mistake, she’d broke her lover’s heart
She’d come to try and make a new start
There was no answer, but she still had her key
She let herself in but then fell to her knees
Cos there was Bobby, laid out on the floor
With a broken heart and a broken jaw
And she cried:
“Oh Bobby, why’d I do it?
Oh Bobby, why’d I say it?
Oh Bobby, why’d I leave you alone?”

Thirteen

She was a good girl
A baby in her mother’s arms
She doesn’t know what she wants
But who does? Who does?
And she’s only 13
She’s only 13
Sex and drugs and theft
Covenants made not to be kept
Spinning on her axis
Who’d know? Who’d guess
That she’s only 13?
All the promises
Of an American dream
She’s only 13
Lived a thousand lives
She’s got a thousand scars
And she’s only 13
It’s happening oh so fast
The cripple got cracked inside
Don’t they grow up so fast?
So fast, too young
She’s only 13

A Year and a Day
05:00

Days on a page, you rip them away
Tears of rage roll down your face
Yeah, they’re tumbling down
They’re tumbling down
A cigarette burns like wages are earned
Lessons are learned as we all wait our turn
But you’re spinning it round
Yeah, you’re spinning it round
I wouldn’t be here if not for you
A fool’s paradise, you don’t fall for their lies
Those beautiful eyes, in your beautiful eyes I see truth
In your eyes I see truth
Oh this love will carry us through
Oh this love will see us new
Oh this love will carry us through
A year and a day sometimes seem the same
But you’re spinning it round
Yeah, you’re spinning it round

My Faithful Alibi
05:36

My faithful alibi
Won’t testify for me
Cos there’s, there’s nothing left
But the intractable truth shrouded in lies
But I’m here, all heart and no soul
Trying to find my way back home
Peace, promiscuous peace
So hard to come by when you’re most in need
You, you play with my heart
You fuck with my mind and I let you
Cos I just wanna lie in your arms
I need you to tell me that I’ll be just fine
No angels speak out to me, they show me no signs
And no lights will guide me, I’m searching blind
Step by misguided step
I’ll keep on walking till I fall
lnd then, bleeding and broke
You’ll see me trying, trying to crawl

Another night, another bottle of wine
Wait for its warmth to ease my worried mind
Another night, another bottle of wine
Another day, another bill through my door
I’ve never had so little, I’ve never been so poor
Another day, another bill through my door
Another week has gone and passed me by
I’ve never had so little to do in so much time
Another week has gone and passed me by
Another girl, another broken heart
Another song, another scar
Another girl, another broken heart

She Knows
02:47

You know those things that bring you close to tears
Well she don’t ask questions cos she don’t care
You can’t say she’s not been there through the years
As far as you can tell, she’ll always be there cos she knows
That life ain’t easy when you live it all alone
Life ain’t easy when you’re living on your own
When you wake up in your clothes on top of your bed
When you look in the mirror and your teeth are black
Just when you’re showing signs of regret
That’s when she comes running back, cos she knows
She’ll be there for you
And you won’t be letting go any time soon
You know those things that you drink to forget?
When you wake up in the morning they just come back
You hear her voice in the back of your head
You feel like a penny on a railway track and you know

Those You Left Behind
06:24
|
|

Wherever you are, I hope you’re happy now
And I wish that you’d hope the same for me
After all, it’s you who cast me here
A landlocked sailor, dreaming of the sea
I’m singing for the broken hearts
I’m singing for the troubled minds
I’m singing for all the pain
Felt by those you left behind
I can’t pay the bills that fall through my door
And I’m running out of friends to call
You know, I’ve nearly got nothing now
It's just the emptiness of these four walls
Well, I know where you are and I know you’re happy now
But the best I can do is say I don’t mind
And I’ve given up hope that one day you’ll realise
Just what you’ve done to us left behind

Happy New Year Darling
04:06

|

As the clock struck 12
I looked around the room
My friends with their girlfriends
And me thinking of you
Like a fool I drove home
To drink alone in bed
With a pain in my heart
And thoughts of you in my head
Happy New Year, darling
Wherever you are
Whoever you kissed at midnight
Happy New Year, darling
I hope it’s a good one
I’ll drink one to you tonight
If you’ll think of me sometime
Maybe this year
My luck will change
I’m starting this new job
Out Cambridge way
Maybe this year
I’ll get a new car
Or a bigger flat
Or maybe another broken heart
Happy New Year, darling
Wherever you are
Whoever you kissed at midnight
Happy New Year, darling
I hope it’s a lucky one
I’ll drink one to you tonight
If you’ll think of me sometime
Happy New Year, darling
I hope it’s kind
I hope that all your dreams come true
Happy New Year, darling
Just know one thing
The only dream I’m wishing for is you
But that won’t come true
