Hard To Say You're Sorry
04:11
|

i heard something about a girl you used to love
she had jet black hair and an ivory stare
and when she'd move it scared you so
i heard something about a boy you used to love
he had a devilish smile and a shape shift style
and when he'd leave it burned you so
waiting here oh i'll wait alone
arrows pierce right, right to the bone
look at you you're nothing much
just a statue in need of a crutch
you've done me wrong
hard to say you're sorry
you've done me wrong
hard to say you're sorry

the green shoe girl with the black socks on
she taught you how to rock and roll
the days are over and the nights are long
remember how you lost control
oh i don't want to say
i don't want to say anything that's wrong
oh i don't want to say
i don't want to say anything that's
well you can't be wrong when you know you're right
a rebel rebel on tv
when the darkness comes and you have no light
i'll be the one you'll always see
oh i don't want to say
i don't want to say anything that's wrong
oh i don't want to say
i don't want to say anything that's
i've been over and over it a thousand times
i get on and on and on
every time i think of you i lose my mind
cause you're gone and gone and gone
you're gone away so gone away
you're an undecided throw away
oh don't, baby don't
oh i don't want to say
i don't want to say anything that's wrong
oh i don't want to say
i don't want to say anything that's
the green shoe girl with the black socks on
she taught you how to rock and roll

i started to go
i started to leave
i stared to know
it's hard to believe you every night
i got all your days
i got all your nights
i read all your plays
you're swinging from lights you devilish girl
i never say to you whats always on my mind
i never play with you or waste your precious time
cause you are always on my mind
you are always on my mind
you are always on my mind
where did you go
i thought you should know
the smoke starts to show
the fire burns slowly every night
i never say to you whats always on my mind
i never play with you or waste your precious time
cause you are always on my mind
you are always on my mind
you are always on my mind
i'm doing time for a two bit crime
and as far as i can see
there's a ghost standing next to me
and he's wearing your likeness like a dream
i started to go

it's hard to believe you every night
i never say to you whats always on my mind
i never play with you or waste your precious time
cause you are always on my mind
you are always on my mind
you are always on my mind

Mirage
03:15
|
|||
|
i read the raincoats here you hide behind your eyes
see the words you shape, shaping into lies
i don't see them here, nothings coming clear
it's a mirage
the days i see you there when you would walk so tall
you threw me down the stairs you know i count them all
i don't feel the pain, i can see the strain
of your mirage
so take my records now and you take your books
take your jackets there, you hung them on the hooks
take my lonely heart, even the broken part
it's a mirage
i can't relate to you the way i used to do
this table and this chair have fallen to despair
but it's a lonely room a dark and empty tomb
it's a mirage
so take my records now and you take your books
take your jackets there, you hung them on the hooks
take my lonely heart, even the broken part
it's a mirage
i keep telling you i keep telling you go
hearts are breaking on ice you're skating on slow
i keep telling you i keep telling you go
words are falling asleep at the wheel of love
so take my records now and you take your books
take your jackets there, you hung them on the hooks
take my lonely heart, even the broken part
it's a mirage

Comes The Night
04:24

holy water who am i
only daughter left to dry
in a daydream i heard you wail
you're dressed in honey, honey for the kill
but take it oh easy on me
but oh comes the night
there's a warning out right
but oh things aren't right because
there's a calling card that never was
sorry sandra here's the thing
there's nothing but dynamite in a diamond ring
but take it oh easy on me
but oh comes the night
there's a warning out right
but oh things aren't right because
there's a calling card that never was

Walking Around
03:29
|
|||
|
started walking alone today
of all the days i could be ok
you got yourself in a fight at noon
i guess you lost and you're gone too soon
well if bridges got you down
you'll be down forever
i am the gate to your mother's grave
i am the child you could not save ok
if cutting corners turns you round
you'll be gone forever
always say you will when you won't
always say you do when you don't
you are just a paper bag floating all alone
you'll be done forever
i am the fire in a crowded room
i am the truth to your fathers tomb
well if you're alone trapped in a crowd
you're alone forever
always say you will when you won't
always say you do when you don't
you are just a paper bag floating all alone
you'll be done forever

Words
03:26
|
|||
|
if words belong to me they belong to you
and just as easily i could be your fool
whats your solution museums burning at dawn
it's no revolution i still bleed when you're gone
everybody else is getting something wrong
while you just be yourself and i'll just carry on
whats all this noise here, you say that it's so unfair
fallen trees keep the moon clear, sadness hangs in the air
you took it down yourself then hung it on your wall
rehearsing everything inside a crystal ball
whats your solution museums burning at dawn
its no revolution, i still bleed when you're gone
i still bleed when you're gone
i still bleed when you're gone
if words belong to me they belong to you
and just as easily i could be your fool

Gunfight
05:01
|
|||
|
i started out walking, walking toward you
but the guns you've been holding they were brand new
and i won't stop trying til we are through
so i guess it's a ghost town a ghost town for you
you've been a gunfight a gunfight all day
and the tables are tossed with nothing to say
and there's just about no one who'll turn you away
so i guess you're a gunfight a gunfight all day
pick yourself up in the morning
when there's no more news
put yourself down in the evening
when the lights from downtown stop to break your heart
it's a start, and it tears you all apart
i will never break your heart
spit you out tear you apart
i will never break your heart
cut you out right from the start
i will never break your heart
you're a walking piece of art
i stumbled on graveyards graveyards of old
but the ground was a heavy with raincoats and gold
and you're feeling lost or so you've been told
i stumbled on graveyards graveyards of old
up on the hill out on the night
it's all lined up, so out of sight
you've been a gunfight a gunfight all day
but the tables are tossed with nothing to say
and there's just about no one who'll turn you away
so i guess you're a gunfight a gunfight all day

Blueprints
03:49

sometimes i get crazy
paranoid words tumble out so surprising and
darling please believe me
blueprints are old and in need of revising
and woah woah woah
i can feel the water rising on my skin
and woah woah woah
sometimes it surrounds me
left the door open and the graveyard in and
tired of being lonely
let me start it over where do i begin
and woah woah woah
i can feel the water rising on my skin
and woah woah woah
hard to find a halo in this world of sin
i can't reveal an ending if i've never been
i'm tired of being left behind to watch you win
everyday i'm waiting for the water to run
everyday it feels just like a setting sun
afraid of what i might become
just waiting for the water to run
and woah woah woah
i can feel the water rising on my skin
and woah woah woah
sometimes you told secrets
moving to the weather with a girl in black and
see what being lost gets
find yourself lonely on a railroad track
and woah woah woah
i can feel the water rising on my skin
and woah woah woah
hard to find a halo in this world of sin
i can't reveal an ending if i've never been
i'm tired of being left behind to watch you win
everyday i'm waiting for the water to run
everyday it feels just like a setting sun
afraid of what i might become
just waiting for the water to run
sometimes i get crazy
paranoid words tumble out so surprising and

Hard Times
03:41
|

|
wrote you a letter
wrote it in stone
you thought i knew better
obviously i don't
hard times are coming
hard times ahead
traded in my coffin
for a brand new bed
and it's so hard hard hard hard
to be
yeah it's so hard hard hard hard
to be alone
my mouth is sweating
from all the words i've said
i'm not good at forgetting
i'm good at playing dead
cause it's so hard hard hard hard
to be
yeah it's so hard hard hard hard
to be alone
take what you want i'll be gone
take what you want i'll be gone
gone, oh
paint me a picture
of what i should have done
now your perfect paintbrush darling
is like a loaded gun
and it's so hard hard hard hard
to be
yeah it's so hard hard hard hard
to be alone
take what you want i'll be getting gone i'm a rolling stone
take what you want i'll be getting gone i'm a rolling stone

Streetlight
04:37

sit beside a streetlight color red
nothings ever quite right so you said
i'll wait i'll sit here and wait
can't believe the madness comes so strong
can't contain the sadness for too long
i'll wait i'll sit here and wait
five o'clock and nothings changing
tables chairs are rearranging
i believe they're moving on their own
to disguise where you've been hiding
spoons and knives can't cut inside
it's paramount that you are not alone
sit beside a streetlight color red
nothings ever quite right so you said
i'll wait i'll sit here and wait
early morning sun is bleeding
through the doors where you've been sleeping
casting distant shadows on the wall
dress them up in paper houses
folds of seven won't allow us
birds of prey to ever leave the ground
