Bending Over Backwards
02:41
|
|||
High up in the sky on a lonely weather eye I was caught in your terminal wind
I tried to recognise a plausible surprise but I was caught in the laughter and the happiness of sin
Stoned in a glasshouse, thrown to the water where the crooks and the immigrants live
I asked the universe because the universe says yes but have I ruined every chance that I get
I tried not to remember the poison in December honey how could I forget
I’m bending over backwards again
I’m second and you’re first to the end
I’m 9-8 and you’re 10/10
I’m shooting into oblivion
Smells like you’ve been shooting my gun without an invitation
I travelled to the exit, I don’t know the answer I don’t know the question
I’m bending over backwards again
I’m bending over backwards again
I’m bending over backwards again
I’m bending over backwards again
I’m second and you’re first to the end
I’m bending over backwards again
I’m second and you’re first to the end
I’m bending over backwards again
I’m second and you’re first to the end honey
I’m bending over backwards again

Terrible Day

Walk your Chihuahua in the garden bed across from my house
You're gonna get wet but you don't mind
I see a little glitter in your eye
And I don't feel so bad when you don't cry
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
Stop, don't say that
You take a walk down through the inner webs
But I can live without my fishing net
I catch a lot of seedy looks instead
So go on pull your coat over my head
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
And every vague attempt that I had made
To spellcheck all the errors of my page
You always were the window to my pane
Your incredible way, your incredible way
When you try to make the sun appear above your sky
Compromise the space, the light, the sound of you dreaming
The sound of you leaving
And shining on into my grave
Did you come to resurrect or misbehave
Many are the numbers on my page
The second I arise, I will deflate
And I will see the looks on all your face
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
I can be the villain of the month
And I can take the cake or spike the punch
And I intend to rain on your parade
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day
It's a terrible day, It's a terrible day

Azteckz

I choked on Aztec gold, laughing as the Nile came down
They stopped me, never said "no"
But it was a time warp, now
Help me out now, this time
I was the son of the last dead role when it was in overdrive
You in the sun by the market road
Soaking up the morning light
Help me out now, this time
Help me out now, this time
(I choked on Aztec gold, laughing as the Nile came down)
Help me out now, this time
(They stopped me, never said "no" but it was a time warp, now)
Help me out now, this time

Maps
02:21
|

I’ve been staring at a map on the wall
At a map on the wall
At a map on the wall
And it fills me up with a thousand lives and a thousand worlds and I feel so tall
And I've only seen my fingerprints on one of seven continents
And I've only seen my fingerprints
Prince
I was born as an Australian girl in an Australian house in an Australian town
And I changed my name to Frederica Fame from Benedita Brown
Benedita Brown
And before I had my very first kiss I had fallen to an Irish prince
Before I had my very first...
KISS

Walking Down The Stairs
03:32

I never imagined you would be the first for me love
But now I do, I know it's simply the worst for me love
But more so for you
When I look into that house in the sky, what isn't there?
'cause I only get the sun in my eyes
And I'm a dangerous guy
Walking down the stairs with you
Walking down the stairs with you
Remember we used to connect, you and me
Your arms were joined at my neck - an entity
Bounded by the laws of the state
I don't read books, darling if I did I would change it
I would re-legislate
Walking down the stairs with you
Walking down the stairs with you
Ice cream
Licking
Fingers
Dripping
Remember what we had rehearsed in every move
One foot after the other and we'll show them
What the young people do
Walking down the stairs with you
Walking down the stairs with you
Walking down the stairs
Walking down the stairs
