My Favourite Faded Fantasy

you could be my favourite taste to touch my tongue
i know someone who could serve me love but it wouldn’t fill me up
you could have my favourite face and favourite name
i know someone who could play the part but it wouldn’t be the same
it wouldn’t be the same,
no it wouldn’t be the same… as with you…
you could be my favourite place i’ve ever been
i got lost in you willingness to dream within the dream
you could be my favourite faded fantasy
i’ve hung my happiness upon what it all could be
what it all could be…
what it all, what it all could be… with you…
you could hold the secrets that save me from myself
i could love you more than love could, all the way from hell
you could be my poison, my cross, my razor blade
i could love you more than life, if i wasn’t so afraid
…of what it all could be…
what it all, what it all could be…
what it all, what it all could be… with you…
i ain’t never loved like you…
and i’ll never love, i’ll never love, i’ll never love another like you…
i’ll never love… i’ll never love…

It Takes a Lot to Know a Man

It takes a lot to know a man
it takes a lot to understand
the warrior, the sage
the little boy enraged…
it takes a lot to know a woman
a lot to understand what’s humming
the honey bee, the sting
the little girl with wings…
it takes a lot to give,
to ask for help, to be yourself
to know and love what you live with
it takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
the slow reveal of what another body needs…
it takes a lot to know a man
a lot to know, to understand
the father and the son
the hunter and the gun
it takes a lot know a woman
a lot to comprehend what’s coming
the mother and the child
the muse and the beguiled
it takes a lot to give,
to ask for help, to be yourself,
to know and love what you live with
it takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
the slow reveal of what another body needs…
it takes a lot to give
to ask for help, to be yourself
to know and love what you live with
it takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
the slow reveal of what another body needs…
it takes a lot to live
to ask for help, to be yourself
to know and love what you live with
it takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
the slow reveal of what another body needs…
what are you so afraid to lose?
what is it you’re thinking that will happen if you do?
(you keep digging, you keep digging)
you wrote me to tell me you’re nervous and you’re sorry
crying like a baby saying “this thing is killing me”

The Greatest Bastard

I made you laugh, I made you cry
I made you open up your eyes, didn’t I?
I helped you open up your wings,
your legs, and many other things, didn’t I?
am I the greatest bastard that you know
the only one who let you go
the one you hurt so much you cannot bear?
we were good when we were good
when we were not misunderstood
You helped me love, you helped me live,
you helped me learn how to forgive, didn’t you?
I wish that I could say the same,
but when you left, you left the blame, didn’t you?
am I the greatest bastard that you’ve met
the only one you can’t forget
am I the one your truth’s been waiting for?
or am I just dreaming once again
some dreams are better when they end…
some make it, mistake it
some force and some will fake it
i never meant to let you down…
some fret it, forget it
some ruin and some regret it
i never meant to let you down
we learned to wag and tuck our tails,
we learned to win and then to fail, didn’t we?
we learned that lovers love to sing
and that losers love to cling, didn’t we?
am I the greatest bastard that you know?
when will we learn to let this go?
we’ve fought so much we’ve broken all the charm
but letting go is not the same as pushing someone else away…
so please don’t let on you don’t know me,
please don’t let on that I’m not here…
please don’t let on that you don’t love me,
cause I know you do…
I know…
that some make it, mistake it
some force and some will fake it
but i never meant to let you down…
some fret it, forget it
some ruin and some regret it
but i never meant to let you down…
i never meant…

I Don't Want to Change You

Wherever you are
know that I adore you
No matter how far
I can go before you
And if ever you need someone
not that you need helping
But if ever you want someone
know that I am willing

I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you,
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Out among the danger
Somewhere in a strangers' eye

Wherever you go
I can always follow
I can feed this real slow
If it's a lot to swallow
If you just want to be alone
I can wait without waiting
If you want me to let this go
I am more than willing

'cause I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you,
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Out among the danger
Somewhere in a strangers' eye

I'd never been with anyone
In the way I'd been with you
But if love is not for fun,
Then it's doomed, 'cause

Water races,
Water races down the waterfall,
The water races,
Water races down the waterfall

I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you,
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Out among the danger
Where love has eyes - it is not blind

Colour Me In

i tried to repress it
then i carried its crown
i reached out to undress it
but love let me down
love let me down…
so i tried to erase it
but the ink bled right through
almost drove myself crazy
when these words led to you
and all these useless dreams
of living alone
like a dogless bone…
so come let me love you
come let me love you
and then… colour me in.
well i tried to control it
and cover it up
i reached out to console it
but it was never enough
never enough…
so i tried to forget it
that was all part of the show
told myself I’d regret it
but what do I know
about all these useless dreams
of living alone
like a dogless bone…
so come let me love you
come let me love you
and then… colour me in.
so come let me love you
come let me take this through the end
of all these useless dreams of living
in all these useless dreams…
of all these useless dreams of living
in all these old noes…
so come let me love you…
come let me love you…
come let me love you…

The Box

don’t give me something to hold in my hand
something else to believe in
cause i’m over it
and your reasons for wanting to stay
your reasons for wanting to change
my reasons for everything are dull to you…
i have tried but i don’t fit
into this box i’m living with
i could go wild
but you might lock me up…
and i have tried but i don’t fit
into this box you call a gift
i could be wild and free
but god forbid, then you might envy me…
so don’t give me love with an old book of rules
that kind of love’s just for fools
and i’m over it
and my reasons for walking away
my reasons for wanting to change
my reasons for everything are lost with you…
i have tried but i don’t fit
into this box i’m living with
i could go wild
but you might lock me up…
and i have tried but i don’t fit
into this box you call a gift
i could be wild and free
but god forbid, then you might envy me…
i could be wild and free
but god forbid, then you might…

Trust and True

We’ve wanted to be trusty and true
But feathers fell from our wings
And we’ve wanted to be worthy of you
But weather rained on our dreams
And we can’t take back
What is done, what is past
So, fellas, lay down your fears
‘Cause we can’t take back
What is done, what is past
so let us start from here…
We never wanted to be lusty or lewd
Nor tethered to prudish strings
We never wanted to be jealously tuned
Nor withered into ugly things
But we can’t take back
What is done, what is past
So, fellas, lay down your spears
‘Cause we can’t take back
What is done, what is past
So let us start from here…
And if all that you are
Is not all you desire,
Then, come…
Come alone…
Come with fear, come with love…
Come however you are…
Just come…
Come alone…
Come with friends, come with foes…
Come however you are…
Just come…
Come, let yourself be wrong…
Come, it’s already begun…
Come, come alone…
Come with me, then let go…
Come however you are…
Just come…
Come alone…
Come so carefully closed…
Come however you are…
Just come…
Come along!
Come with sorrows and songs…
Come however you are…
Just come…
Come along!
Come, let yourself be wrong…
Come however you are…
Just come…

Long Long Way

long long way to the top
long way down if you fall
it’s a long way back
if you get lost
long way out to the air
It’s a long way to go
to lose your friends
It’s a long way to haul
all the traps you’ve trawled
when you could just stop and let go
and you say not now, maybe later
but not now, maybe later
but not now, maybe later
(you’re only in your way)
but not now, maybe later
(you’re only in your way)
maybe… wait…
‘cause love is tough
when enough is not enough
it’s not enough…
not enough…
it’s not enough…
not enough…
not enough…
