1. The Cappuccino Song3:49
2. Twist in My Sobriety4:52

   Letra

   All God's children need travelling shoes Drive your problems from here All good people read good books Now your conscience is clear I hear you talk girl Now your conscience is clear In the morning when I wipe my brow Wipe the miles away I like to think I can be so willed And never do what you say I'll never hear you And never do what you say Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety We've just poked a little empty pie For the fun that people had at night Late at night don't need hostility The timid smile and pause to free I don't care about their different thoughts Different thoughts are good for me Up in arms and chaste and whole All God's children took their toll Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety Cup of tea, takes time to think, yeah Time to risk a life, a life, a life Sweet and handsome Soft and porky You pig out 'til you've seen the light Pig out 'til you've seen the light Half the people read the papers Read them good and well Pretty people, nervous people People have got to sell News you have to sell Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety
3. Good Tradition2:51

   Letra

   There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside And though the rain may fall - your father's calling you You still feel safe inside And though your ma's too proud - your brother's ignoring you You still feel safe inside Oh, was this solo? Was this yesterday? Was this true for you? 'Cause while all the rest have taken time This didn't do a lot for you And the corners laced with memories Tell you how it used to be Your mother smiles, the children play, and all the bad things happen miles away And strong feelings never bother you You hold your head up while the rest of us try to Oh, call the stations Call the people We all want to know 'Cause while all the rest have taken time You don't wanna know Well, there's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside And though the rain may fall - your father's calling you You still feel safe inside And though your ma's too proud - your brother's ignoring you You still feel safe inside Oh, was this solo? Was this yesterday? Was this true for you? 'Cause of all the choices you have made This didn't do a lot for you

   Letra

   Thinking back Could I feel much older? And my stance Couldn't feel much colder Can they tell What I'm getting over now?

'Cause you light up the world yeah You light up the world In this time And times to come I do not know If your hopes have won I do not care where you think You'll find it and I do not care If I fall behind Thinking back I was so much younger Thinking back You were so much more tender Thinking back Will it make me hunger now? For you, light up the world Yeah you, light up the world Well there's something about the girl Yeah there's something about her world There's something for everyone Have you found yourself in the frame of mind? Where no one can be too kind And there's so little lost There must be a life to trust there And if I try I know I'll be there To hold, and be mine

7. World Outside Your Window4:54

   Letra

   Well, everyone has said that I might go 'Cause my red suitcase and my Ray Bans weren't quite so I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls I'll never come back again 'Cause you know how I laugh when winter shows her hand With that picture framed, there is a saddest thing you'll see But it bought me time and a place that love could be And since I'm goin' now, please rearrange 'Cause I'd like to think that things have changed I don't believe you'll be open anymore So tell me if you want to see A world outside your window A world outside your window isn't free Oh and tell me if you want to catch that feelin' of redemption That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me Well, everyone was hopin' you would stay awhile Tell us 'bout that great land in the South Then you'll see that man Now ain't he under offer? Well, I tell you child, you go wash out your mouth So tell me if you want to see A world outside your window A world outside your window isn't free Oh and tell me if you want to catch that feelin' of redemption That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me Now what can you say? I'm hidin' in the belfry How can you say I want to catch time? How can you say you know anythin' about me? Because I knew about you but I won't care about you Now, everyone has come to see But some things have to die Flowers out for this graphic haunt But they all pass me by But the age is not A funny game It don't give such a buzz And when I winced with ignorance I had to kiss this dust So tell me if you want to see A world outside your window A world outside your window isn't free Oh, and tell me if you want to catch that feelin' of redemption That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me
8. Yodelling Song3:35

   Letra

   The first time you stole flowers from the grave Then, the second time, you shaved your head, you had been saved By the very friendly, Jesus man And all he said, "Well, I'm your brother, man" In the winter time you - you wore patch-work hard-me-downs In the summer time - you were all bronzed, while I was brown And they didn't ask you where you got the candy No, they didn't ask you where you got the tan In the morning time we played travels in the sea In the evening time we had reduced the sea to me But your mother saved us from your daddy's hand Yeah, your mother saved us from your daddy's hand From your daddy From your daddy With my adult mind You know my body feels so strange If they'd only sign away my life to me I could be much saner If they'd only learn to let me Freedom seek The world would be less mean But they never know how to let you go But they never know how to leace me Yodel - ee Yod - el - ee

12. I Might Be Crying3:55

    Letra

    What didn't know back then Was that I might be crying It is such a simple sentiment To steal the show And what I didn't know back then Is that I might be losing you And still I wouldn't know And now I suck up to the pale moonlight Like it's gonna lead me home And I shiver in my tired clothes As if that could keep me warm And now I stare across the dirty river And I'm sure upon this bridge I'll see you 'Cause I dreamt I'd kiss you up there What I didn't know back then Is how great the sin How time goes so slowly When you're cheating on a friend And what I didn't know back then Is that I might be needing you Yeah, I might be needing you The need it doesn't end And now I stare across the dirty river And I breathe the dirty air And I'm sure upon the bridge I'll see you 'Cause I dreamt I'd kiss you there What I didn't know back then Was that I might be crying It's such a simple sentiment To steal the show
13. Me in Mind3:24

    Letra

    Well, our dog beats in his own heart Our dog was from the start Not much use in the rain Not much use in the sun Put it outside and let the paint run Put it outside and let the paint run Well, our mean day was not heaven sent Couldn't stay, couldn't raise the rent Couldn't stay-a-little - let us be Couldn't stay - so we set it free Hey Supposing I meet you We waste some time Supposing, I let you You still be in mind, mind, mind, mind Enter - kisses not able Not able to turn some tricks Not able to give me favours Not even when I'm thick with it And my heart wasn't a stranger But it sure made no sense to me Made no sense to any flavour that came Sown in so cautiously Hey Hearts still Yearn to Make the sign Watching You send me in mind, mind, mind, mind Well, our old stairs are all the same The same weather, the same wood stain You can beep from the left You can beep from the right Put it outside and let them turn wide Put it outside and let them turn wide Well, no respect, no leniency Was not ever so well spooked in me Was not evil so it hangs OK This is the world in which we play This is the world in which we play Hey Harder Sane, spent and all awake Their eyes Shame me With their mistakes And mine, mine, mine, mine
14. Lovers in the City3:24

    Letra

    I'd never call this an unpleasant situation I'd never teach you how to lie But sometimes I have been walking numb And I must catch myself before I cry Before I cry I never call anything ugly I never call anything strange and alone I never want to, take things lightly Like they have never been my own Oh, don't, now I haven't heard it yet Oh, don't, I haven't heard But I know them and they are inclined to see Just who is And isn't A lover in the city I always thought I would be star bright I always thought you'd feel it too But sometimes I have been making conversation And I must catch myself Before I'm down I'm down on you I never think they would be scaring me Scared couples in the cold They look so fine in their eagerness I wonder to myself just how they know Oh, don't, now I haven't heard it yet Oh, don't, I haven't heard But I know them and they are inclined to see Just who is And isn't A lover in the city I swear I'm staking out the whole world I swear I'm staking out the whole world I'm staking out the whole world I could never entertain you I'd be far too scared to try But sometimes I have been talking dumb And I forget myself And I forget myself And don't ask, why? Oh, don't, now I haven't heard it yet Oh, don't, I haven't heard But I know them and they are inclined to see Just who is And isn't A lover in the city

16. Stop Listening4:21

    Letra

    I'm happy to be here I'm happy to be with you For where in a lifetime Do we do the things we really want to Now old friends they watch lovers They wonder where we're going to They know each look from the other And they accuse you, accuse you It's on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on and Don't do this to me Stop listening Start calling my name Stop turning from me Start feeling I'm here Stop listening Keep holding me I'm happy to lie here Well, I'm happy to touch your face I've got nothing to fear here So these feelings, they cannot be placed Oh, why do you never listen? What do you ever want? It's funny how I feel like Some kind of person Another kind of person I would never like to be Your on and on and on and on And on and on and on and on and Can't do this to you Stop listening I keep calling your name I'm not turning from you Start feeling I'm here Stop teasing me Keep holding me You can be fragile I don't care I'll always be there Can't do this to you Stop listening I keep calling your name yes I do I'm not turning from you Start feeling I'm here Stop teasing me Keep holding me
17. We Almost Got It Together4:01

    Letra

    We almost got it together And I'll be your favourite thing Stand by the river with hard-luck eyes And I'll just be open and sing And if I was telling you stories I was only trying to surprise I wish I was like the frog-princess And I'd never tell you lies And down by the soil of the hard-life They like to greet us with smiles They like to tell us their good hostess Had travelled a million miles But you'd like it written closer Yes, you'd like it written pure If I told you this would you miss my kiss? No, you'd come right back for more Oh, I'd like to be What I want to be But you want to carry on But you need to take What you have to take But I'll still be here when you're gone And there's a light by your window And I'd like to capture you by there And I'd like to hold you for all to see But they don't really care And if I said you're no peccadillo Yes, I said you're a major thing Would you stand by me? At the corner dock And say, "yes, this girl is the swing!" Oh, I'd like to be What I want to be But you want to carry on But you need to take What you have to take But I'll still be here when you're gone And I'd like another cue That's why I strain to see And I'd like the best in you 'Cause you write the best in me [?] They were sure that I'd be burning Yes, so their tart swerve to here might be But if I said, you're gold inside, yes And if you were true to me Would you hang around with that creepy smile And crawl home back to me Oh, I'd like to be What I want to be But you want to carry on But you need to take What you have to take But I'll still be here when you're gone
