Maybe One Day

Sometime soon
Before you leave the room
I’ll say the things I always meant to say
And late one night
Well we just might
Catch a plane to somewhere far away
And sometime soon
Before you leave the room
I’ll say the things I always meant to say
Maybe one day

Don’t Need The Sunshine
03:50
|

They're closing up the last good place in town
They'll change the name, or pull it down
It's the same old stuff, happens all around
So hold on tight, to what you've found
On Imelda Marcos boulevard
Times have changed, times are hard
They called Vince Taylor but he never showed
You won't see him in Chalk Farm Road
So we waited all day for the night
We don't need the sunshine
Cause we look better under neon light
So we waited all day for the night
Who needs the sunshine
Cause we look better under neon light
Well they've changed the lock, but they lost the key
But you know somehow it still looks good to me
All the nights we've seen, staring back at me
All those nights, they'll stay with me
They'll stay with me
All those nights, they'll stay with me
All those nights, stay with me
All those nights, stay with me

New Shade Of Black
02:56

I'm painting the town
A new shade of black
I'll watch it burn it down
I'll turn my back
Ground where I stood
Can wither and die
Don't turn your head
When you walk by
Yeah they nailed up a sign
On my bedroom door
Said he's gone to a better place
He knew before
Painting the town
A new shade of black
Don't turn your head
Don't ever look back
Well the sun never shines in this part of town
Didn't see it come up, never watched it go down
Yeah they nailed up a sign
On my bedroom door
Said he's gone to a better place
Than he knew before
I'll come to rest
Up on the hill
Everybody who's gone there
They're up there still
Went painting the town
A deep shade of black
Watched it burn down
They're not coming back

Don't try to remember
Don't look back don't make a sound
We don't need anything
Or anyone around
Just you and me
Lit up like a christmas tree
Barely able to see
Lost in another world
Just you & me
Lit up like a christmas tree
Barely able to see
Lost in another world
Just you & me
Just you & me
Sometimes you wonder
What it takes to fail here in this town
It's all been beaten down
The world turned upside down
And that's how it always seems to be
So show me another world
Another place to be
Here's something
We left behind
It don't matter
And we don't mind
Lit up like a christmas tree
Barely able to see
Lost in another world
Just you & me
Just you & me
Just you & me

Sixty-Nine

Nineteen Sixty-Nine
There was never enough time
There was never enough time
Nineteen Seventy-Two
I was scared of you
in Seventy-Two
Nineteen Seventy-Three
Thought I could see
What was wrong with me
Ah but Seventy-Four
Seventy-Four
All I could hear
Was a slamming door
Nineteen Seventy-Five
When I first hit the town
Back in Seventy-Five
But it was too late
By Seventy-Eight
Now I’m gone
Now I’m gone
But in Sixty-Nine
Thought I was doing fine
In Sixty-Nine
Ah haven’t you turned out the lights
Haven’t you turned out the lights
And didn’t we make you sing
Didn’t we make you proud
And I know
You remember everything
But in Sixty-Nine
There was never enough time
There was never enough time
Two Thousand and Two
All I could do
Was to write to you

London After Midnight
02:58
|
|||
I’ve seen your face
Sometimes after midnight
They’re piling up the furniture
Around us again
It all turns blue
Sometimes after midnight
When you close your eyes
What do you see
And I passed out
One evening in an upstairs room
I didn’t need my collar felt
But that’s how they are
All those lights
In London after midnight
You couldn’t find yourself a cab
If you begged on your knees
In London after midnight
There’s always another place to go
After midnight
Now they’re piling up the furniture
Around us again
And where are you
Now it’s after midnight
When you close your eyes
What do you see
In London after midnight

You might as well just go to sleep
Headline news will make you weep
You can't change things anyway
You know you'll never stop the rain
Loosen up and start again
It’s just another day
Nothing much means all that much
Most things don't matter at all
Nothing much means all that much
Most things don't matter at all
The day the earth caught fire
I was busy somewhere else
Didn't watch it on TV
The day the earth stood still
Told them I was feeling ill
Didn't matter much to me
Nothing much means all that much
Most things don't matter at all
Nothing much means all that much
Most things don't matter at all
The day the earth caught fire
I was busy somewhere else
Didn't matter much to me
The day the earth stood still
Told them I was feeling ill
Didn't matter much to me

Used to have a car but it fell apart
Right from the start
And I never thought things
Would go this way
Till today
And you might tell me
That it’s not true
But if I had all the money I’d spent
On you
I’d spend it on you
Well I know a place just down the street
Where all
The antisocial people meet
Ah but that won’t do
Not for me
And you
Well it was one of those nights
When we needed something
Never found out what we wanted until you said
I need someone like you
Well If I had everything I’d wasted
I’d probably waste it again
But if I had all the money I’d spent
On you
I’d spend it on you
What else could I do
Well it was one of those nights
When I needed something
Never found out what I wanted until you said
I need someone like you
When I think of all the time I wasted
Yeah when I think of all the time I wasted
Where were you

Friday
She said to me
You’re not the one
That’s good for me
So long
Good luck
Goodbye
Our ship came in
But then it sunk
So find yourself
Another drunk
Alright…
Our ship came in
But now it’s sunk
I found myself
Another drunk
Friday
She said to me
You’re not the one
That’s good for me
So long
Good luck
Goodbye

It's way past three
And I'm still here
Lying down waiting for the fog to clear
David Allan Coe's singing "Whiskey please take my mind"
Trying hard to leave it all behind
Well don't wait up
Cause I'm falling down
12 straight shots make the room spin round
Don't mess with someone whose problems are worse than your own
Sometimes you're better off on your own
Well here's my story
It's sad but false
I lost my heart to the girl who danced the Tennessee waltz
Her hair was yellow
And her eyes were the deepest blue
I swear to God she looked a lot like you
Well the dawn comes up
And the sun shines down
And Ruby's taken her love to another town
Where the lights are bright
And the signs say "We never close"
Right now we could all use one of those
Yeah the world fell apart brick by brick
My guardian angel took the day off sick
My hands keep shaking and there's nothing left to pour
And I can't even hear you any more
One more time before you close the door
Say goodnight to the face on the bar room floor
Say goodnight to the face on the bar room floor
