Fix A Woman
04:25
|
|||
Well, I can see that you’re confused, looks like you’re carrying a load
You thought that love was like the ocean, but it’s a dusty, gravel road
It’s like you’re stuck inside a riddle from the moment you are born
There’s no reprieve & no acquittal until the final curtain’s drawn
Every woman is a mystery, a buried treasure to behold
And a good one takes no shit, she won’t be bought she won’t be sold
Well every treasure holds a secret, & every secret has a clue
If it’s any consolation, you get to have your secrets too
Never try to fix a woman, she don’t need your advice
She just wants a man to listen, take her dancing, treat her nice
Well, it’s a law of human nature, and it’s a fact you need know
When you try to fix a woman, you end up on your own
I can see you still got questions, this ain’t a mountain you can climb
But like any good Investment you need patience, luck & time
Keep it simple & be honest, man lying is for fools
Cause when a woman’s trust is broken there ain’t no fixing it with tools
Never try to fix a woman, she don’t need your advice
She just wants a man to listen, take her dancing, treat her nice
Yeah it’s a law of human nature, and it’s a fact you need know
When you try to fix a woman, you end up on your own
When she asks you what you’re feeling, don’t reply with what you think
And if you’re gonna to raise your voice never do it when you drink
You gotta give her some attention, a little more than you expect
She don’t want special treatment, she just wants your respect
I hope you listen to my warning, I hope you memorise this song
Don’t ever wait until the morning to admit that you were wrong
You know it’s really pretty simple, there are rules you cannot bend
Don’t ever side with your own mother, don’t ever try to fuck her friends
Never try to fix a woman, she don’t need your advice
She just wants her man to listen, take her dancing, treat her nice
It’s not a trap, it’s human nature, & it’s a fact you need know
When you try to fix a woman, you end up on your own
Never try to fix a woman, she don’t need your GOOD advice
She just wants her man to listen, take her dancing, treat her nice
Yeah I had to learn the hard way, it ain’t something you just know
When you try to fix a woman, you end up on your own
If you try to fix a woman, you l end up on your own
I tried to fix a woman, and that’s why I’m alone

That Was Our Song
03:42
|
|||
I think I preferred it when I didn’t know
Who you’ve been seeing and where you’ve been going
I think I preferred it when you would just lie
When you’d turn your head when I kissed you goodbye
And I’ve tried defend how it ended it
But I won’t pretend that I didn’t cry
It’s dark over here on my side of the stage
But you’ve tortured me all night long
Of course, you can dance with whoever you want now
But baby, that was our song
I think I preferred it when you stayed away
When I could just listen, relax & just play
I think I preferred it when nobody knew
And shame was the only thing getting us through
I should be surprised, but only the wise
Know how to let sleeping dogs lie
It’s dark over here on my side of the stage
But you’ve tortured me all night long
Of course, you can dance with whoever you want now
But baby, that was our song
I see you glancing from over his shoulder
Has anyone’s heart has ever run colder?
What turns a love into something you don’t recognise?
I think I prefer it now that there's space
And, I don’t need to hide when I feel out of place
I think I prefer it now that I’m alone
And no-one reminds me what I should’ve known
It’s dark over here on my side of the stage
But you’ve tortured me all night long
Of course, you can dance with whoever you choose
I’m jaded & angry, I should be amused!
Sure, I can dance with whoever I want now
But baby, that was our song
I think I preferred it when I didn’t know
Who you’ve been seeing and where you’ve been going

Shuffling through the rain, heading to the train
Where I pack myself like a baked bean in a can
If you ask me I can tell you what I do and where I’ve been
But, I don’t think I can tell you who I am
And I don’t know why I do this anymore
Why I always put the dried-up pen
Straight back in the drawer
Why my head thinks I’m an angel
When my heart knows I’m a whore
No, I don’t know why I do this anymore
Now Traffic is insane, I’m running late again
Seems nothing ever goes the way we plan
I don’t feel the need to win, but the fix is finally in
The game was rigged before we all began
And I don’t know why I do this anymore
Why I say that I’m not playin’
Then I secretly keep score
Why my head thinks I’m an angel
When my heart knows I’m a whore
No, I don’t know why I do this anymore
And, so I don’t know how to quell the contradictions
And I don’t know when or how to ask for help
Maybe I’m just asking the wrong questions?
If I don’t know what the problem is, I don’t know who to tell
I double park my car and I load into the bar
I shout into the mic for a couple hours
All my friends still think I’m broke
And I reek of beer & smoke
Never been so grateful for a shower
And I don’t know why I do this anymore
Why I hope this song is different
‘Though it’s easy to ignore
Why my head thinks I’m an angel
When my heart knows I’m a whore
No, I don’t know why I do this anymore

We Know Love
03:28
|
|||
No-one shows you how to be useful
But, we all crave that
We’re all told to be honest & peaceful
But no-one feels that
They say love is thunder & lightning
Sparks & igniting
We know love is stubbornly patient
Quietly discontent
We both say things bitter & careless
But we don’t know why
We know blame is selfish & reckless
But we both still try
They say love is passion & chasing
Fearless embracing
We know love is subtle & distant
Quietly discontent
We both pay the price of resistance
But we still won’t let go
We both feel that cavernous distance
But we still won’t let, let the other know
They say love is instant & perfect
Honour & respect
We know love don’t always feel worth it
It’s quietly discontent

How Long Have I Waited?
03:03
|

How long have you waited for me?
How long have I waited for you?
When I’m all alone tonight
Only you can make it right
How long have I waited for you?
How long were you searching for me?
How long was I searching for you?
When I’m all alone tonight
Only you can make it right
How long have I waited for you?
Now you’re here
You’re the only voice I hear
Sing to me my love
Sing to me my love
How long have you waited for me?
How long have I waited for you?
When I’m all alone tonight
Only you can make it right
How long have I waited?
How long have I waited?
How long have I waited for you?

Wicked Things
03:45
|
|||
You won’t believe the wicked things I’ve said
With this tongue, with this tongue
You won’t believe the wicked things I’ve done
With these hands, with these hands
You’re not fooling me, And I’m not fooling you
Everyone can see you’ve been wicked too
You won’t believe the wicked things I’ve felt
With my heart, with my heart
You won’t believe the wicked things I’ve held
In my arms, in my arms
You’re not fooling me, And I’m not fooling you
Everyone can see you’ve been wicked too
There’s a monster in everyone
That we must learn to feed
There’s no refuge for anyone
You will always fight to tame its greed
You won’t believe the wicked things I see
When you cry, when you cry
You won’t believe the wicked things I hear
When you sigh, when you sigh
You’re not fooling me, And I’m not fooling you
Everyone can see you’ve been wicked too
You’ve been wicked too
You’ve been wicked too

It's Not Just A Ring
03:45
|

Not long ago, I was sleeping alone
I shared nothing with no-one & I didn’t care
How could I know, how much I would grow?
And that life before you simply couldn’t compare
I used to think most folks were crazy
Now we both know I was right
It’s not just a piece of paper
Though, to some it just don’t mean a thing
I hope that you’ll sign it sooner than later
Let the dancing begin, Yeah, I know It’s not just a ring
Before I met you, my heart was subdued
I gave up & pretended that I didn’t care
But a man without nerve gets what he deserves
He thinks luck is the reason that life isn’t fair
I used to think most folks were lazy
Now we both know they’re just tired
It’s not just a piece of paper
Though, to some it just don’t mean a thing
I hope that you’ll sign it sooner than later
Let the dancing begin, Yeah, I know It’s not just a ring
Some say they don’t’ see the difference
It’s all just the same as before
But you and I know that change can be slow
And that’s not what a promise is for
It’s not just a piece of paper
Though, to some it just don’t mean a thing
I hope that you’ll sign it sooner than later
Let the dancing begin
Let the dancing begin
Let the dancing begin, Yeah, I know... It’s not just a ring
