Breaking Out The Good Stuff 04:10
lyrics
buy track
Breaking Out The Good Stuff Things aint what they used to be we don’t talk much anymore But silence brings its own reward I bundled up my dignity laid it in the bottom drawer It might as well be safe as be ignored Every day’s a memory and every night’s a curse And the mornings are forever out of sight If yesterday is all we have tomorrow may be worse So I’m breaking out the good stuff tonight I’ve broken the best china it just fell out of my hand And shattered into pieces on the floor I wasn’t going to tell you I didn’t think you’d understand And I didn’t want to start another war I’m tired of being second best and feeling second class And I’m tired of you always being right So I’m sweeping up the pieces I’m gonna throw them in the trash Then I’m breaking out the good stuff tonight I’ve been howling at the moon While it’s shining oh so bright Love, it seems has abandoned me tonight So while we’re on the subject of love and all its woes And I’m singing this sad refrain Let’s hear it for my broken heart, that’s my fault I suppose S’funny how I always take the blame I lost my lucky charm playing cards and shooting pool Looking back I maybe got that right For all the luck it brought me, I might as well play the fool So I’m breaking out the good stuff tonight And they say that it won’t kill me, but deep down I think it might So I’m breaking out the good stuff tonight

The Type 2 Song (The Sweetest Thing) She comes in sherbet dabs and liquorice She is the sweetest thing, yeah the sweetest thing She speaks in pastel rhymes and gibberish She’s the sweetest thing to me She brings me humbugs with a spearmint kiss She is the sweetest thing, yeah the sweetest thing I can taste the pear drops on her cherry lips She’s the sweetest thing to me Oh the sweetest thing to me And I know that type 2’s gonna get the best of me But love’s just not the same if its sugar free She feeds me sugar mice and butterscotch She is the sweetest thing, yeah the sweetest thing Rosy apples jelly beans and candy floss She’s the sweetest thing to me Oh the sweetest thing to me

The Ghost Of My Father 03:55

The Ghost Of My Father The last time I saw my father he’d been dead for twenty years He was stood on the pavement in the rain He stared at me and I stared at him through the windscreen and the tears Then I blinked once and he was gone again The ghost of my father haunts me still The ghost of my father always will The last time I saw my mother I was kissing her goodbye I stayed all night and watched her slip away 40 years a widow the loneliest of lives Holding back the tears and counting down the days The ghost of my father haunts me still The ghost of my father always will For so many years I believed he was near He’d come home one day and everything would be just fine For all that I became I still shouldered the blame But deep down I know the demons are mine The last time I saw my father was twenty years ago And I’m still not so sure that it was him I’ve seen a ghost or two in my time and you’d think I’d know The damage that comes from wishful thinking The ghost of my father haunts me still The ghost of my father always will The ghost of my father haunts me still The ghost of my father always will

Mosaic 05:27
lyrics

Mosaic Here I am cap in hand Alone again with my emotion From the start this fragile heart Was bound to end up broken Is someone there someone who’ll see How to care and how to fix me If I glue the pieces back together will it be alright If I glue the pieces back together will it be alright On my knees among the debris Picking pieces one by one There’s no plan no diagram For the day you come undone Can I dull this ache will it start to fade When I craft my heart shaped mosaic If I glue the pieces back together will it be alright If I glue the pieces back together will it be alright There’s no receipt no money back guarantee Sometimes you men the things you ever love or need If I glue the pieces back together will it be alright If I glue the pieces back together will it be alright If I glue the pieces back together will it be alright If I glue the pieces back together will it be alright

Flowers In The House 04:54
lyrics

Flowers In The House There’s always flowers in the house They hide the smell of decay The silent witness wants you out But more than the door stands in the way So cut the stems and feed the doubt There’s always flowers in the house Perfect lines in pastel shades A fire burning in the hearth A single word out of place Turns the evening light to dark Tears are all that pain allows There’s always flowers in the house You can powder out the scars You can shield so many blows For every well-guarded remark There’s always someone who knows A smile hides the fear and doubt And there’s always flowers in the house
