What I've Got To Offer

What I’ve got to offer
Is the one thing you don’t want
You want me to suffer
And I don’t want to stop
I can read between the lines
And it’s an empty space
But this is where you led me
And it’s a lonely place
Mechanical clocks and polka dots
Decorate your room
You left me outside looking in
But it’s a lovely view
We almost met by chance one night
A coincidence
Establishing foreshadowing
What happened four months hence
So close so warm inviting more
Then out of the blue
You left me outside looking in
Is this what we’ve come to?

Neither Do I

Do you remember the good times we had
I know neither do I
Neither do I
Do you remember the heart to hearts
I know neither do I
Neither do I
I wanted more I really did
But you vanished in the middle of it
I shouldn’t be surprised
By anything what was I doing
Was I waiting for nothing
Or pushing too hard
I shouldn’t be surprised
By anything what were we doing
Was I wrong in expecting
We would be connecting
Do you remember the first time we met
We didn’t kiss I held your hand
We listened to the band
We didn’t hold hands I made that up
I was afraid that even that would be too much

Her hair is barely brushed
She’s always in a rush
Her makeup’s touch and go
But everybody knows
She plays 12 string guitar
She makes them nervous
But they need her services
If you want that shiny sound
She the only one in town
All the boys watch her
No one can touch her
When she plays guitar
She’s a superstar
She plays 12 string guitar
She brings the jangle with her
But don’t you tangle with her
She’s self sufficient
Her skills are most proficient
I never dated her
I’m a little afraid of her
As I always say
I just love the way she plays
She’s still my best friend
And that will never end
She plays 12 string guitar

Cheer Up Lyon

Cheer up Lyon
Your feet drag on the ground
But you jump ten yards when you hear a sound
Your composure is a mess
I see the signs of your distress
Step back and take a breath
You’re all stressed out and sick to death
Consider another side
She might be better off with another guy
Cheer up Lyon
If it’s meant to be
It will all work out I know you see
She’s a wild card
There are too many issues to disregard
Don’t bother keeping score
You want revenge it's a state of war
But your strategy’s a joke as you
Plot a jealous masterstroke
One door closes another opens
We only see what’s under our noses
Cheer up Lyon
This lover’s slump’s
A passing phase
It will fade someday it’s safe to say
I could use a little time before
You find out that she is mine
Cheer up Lyon

Imprimé en Italie
02:32

Late in the night she lost
all her sense with the boys
Formerly she was well known
for composure and poise
An honorable reputation
was earned at a price
Previously she protected it
by thinking twice
Imprimé en Italie
Enter chambers delicately
My last duchess on the wall
Jenever gin was her downfall
The Marquis de Sade and Boccaccio
Both believed in ufos
Wyndham Lewis and Ezra Pound
rode that fascist merry go round
Six times seven is twenty three
The last calculation sent to me
An experimental sum apparently
From an alternate reality
Imprimé en Italie
Enter chambers delicately
My last duchess on the wall
Jenever gin was her downfall
Imprimé en Italie
Forgery in the first degree
If you’ve a plan for larceny
Now is the time to get back to me

What a surprise
Those eyes, that hair
I’d recognize you
If i saw you anywhere
Over twelve weeks
Of haunting me
We were in touch
Almost hourly
I don’t know quite what it was
I don’t know quite what it was
I didn’t know quite what it was
It was serious to me
But mysterious as could be
I was designing and trying
My approach
You were deciding
you’d rather be alone
It was a shame the way
The game played out
I have to ask
What was this all about?
I don’t know quite what it was
I don’t know quite what it was
I didn’t know quite what it was
It was serious to me
But mysterious as could be

I used to think everything happened for a reason
Well that’s ridiculous
Life’s a fun house mirror
Broken in the dark
None of us is perfect
What did you expect
One of us keeps secrets
The other is a wreck
Don’t bother me
I don’t want to dream about you
Don’t text or call
I want to forget it all
Just one night
It was Like at first sight
I don’t want to see you
I’m afraid I’ll dream about you
Look at us it’s nothing take a break see you later
Is that how you get to know someone
You could have said I was boring and you could do much greater
With almost anyone

Broken Hearts Still Hurt
03:06
|

Broken mirror, broken tea cups
Broken bubbles in the bathtub
It’s Friday night and you’re in love
You're crying oh so subtly
As you polish all the cutlery
You’re OCD and you’re in love
Broken hearts get hurt
Broken hearts still hurt
Your misfortune is insurmountable
All the mistakes are uncountable
You screwed up again because you’re in love
If you’re lonely you can call me up
If only to hear it ring and then hang up
You’re acting weird because you’re in love
Broken hearts get hurt
Broken hearts still hurt
