When Love Breaks Down

My love and I, we work well together
But often we're apart
Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah,
Till love breaks down, love breaks down

Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather
The sweet september rain
Rain on me like no other
Until I drown, until I drown

When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down,
When love breaks down

My love and I, we are boxing clever
She'll never crowd me out
Fall be free as old confetti
And paint the town, paint the town

When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
You join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex
When love breaks down,
When love breaks down

Tiffanys

Time is the healer, time was on my hands
The bus stopped at Tiffany's
So I went to hear the band
I saw Cinderella, then the curtain dropped
Time hung heavy on my hands but today
The clock just stopped

I heard that music saw those pictures on the wall
I fell in love with Tiffany's, I thought it said it all
Soothed by your saxophones I thought you'd understand
I'd love to sing my songs for you but I don't know if I can
I said, I don't know if I can
I said, I don't know if I can
I don't know if I can

Midnight is striking there's a pumpkin by the door
It's five o'clock and the streets are clear am I alone once more?
I watched the dawn in an electric storm, my compass blew haywire
There she stands with a slipper in her hand
And her eyes were the colour of fire

I saw you crying from that doorway for some time
It's no use drying your eyes 'cos I see those telling signs
I saw you crying from that doorway for some time
It's no use drying your eyes 'cos I see those telling signs
She said, I see those telling signs
She said, I see those telling signs
I see those telling signs

I heard that music saw those pictures on the wall
I fell in love with Tiffany's, I thought it said it all
Soothed by your saxophones I thought you'd understand
I'd love to sing my songs for you but I don't know if I can
I said, I don't know if I can
I said, don't know if I can
I don't know if I can

Time is no healer, in truth she plays no part
When money's got you in her pocket where can she put your heart?
She led a charmed life, so I believe
Before she left she wrote a note and this is how it reads

I saw you crying from that doorway for sometime
It's no use drying your eyes 'cos I see those telling signs
I saw you crying from that doorway for sometime
It's no use drying your eyes 'cos I see those telling signs
She said, I see those telling signs
She said, I see those telling signs
I see those telling signs

The Devil Has All The Best Tunes

La la la la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la-la
La la la la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la-la

Heads or tails once I forget
I'm trying to master a new alphabet
Far too obliging to ever admit
I've never been keen on this 'here boy' and 'sit'

So lyrically simple, like Ave Maria

I don't want that ghost coming back again
You will play fair
For when I say that this is double or quits
I double and stay-ay-ay

One fine day, there must be someone saying, I can say
With truth in my heart
No sub-clauses in the way, and now make a start.

The devil always has the finest tunes,
But of course it's always over much too soon.

La la la la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la-la
La la la la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la-la

Open yolk, there was a time I'd smile, tell (pretty lies)
Like I want you then so I want you now
Guiding will perpetuate the mess, as I count (on my fingers)
That we add up, to so much worse

People can't be honeybees, always

Fee-fi-fee, fo-fi-fum
I see you have met my stumbling tongue
Just one more faux pas that I can commit
Learning the French for my eternal wit

So lyrically simple, like Ave Maria

I'm standing outside this narrative
What can I do, should I feign sleep
Or, just cloister my heart, and bury it deep.

One fine day, there must be someone saying, I can say
With truth in my heart
No sub-clauses in the way, and now make a start.

The devil always has the finest tunes,
But of course it's always over much too soon.

There must be someone saying, I can say
With truth in my heart
Paul McCartney's 'Yesterday,' and now make a start.

The devil always has the finest tunes,
But of course it's always over much too soon.

There must be someone saying, I can say
With truth in my heart
Paul McCartney's 'Yesterday,' and now make a start.

The devil always has the finest tunes,
But of course it's always over much too soon.

La la la la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la-la
La la la la la la la-la
