Sweetheart Grips
03:50
|

|
Nothing hurts until your heart starts aching
No-one needs a steady hand until your body's shaking
No-one leaves until they know you're waiting
No-one says I love you, we're all too busy hating
Boy you're in for a rough ride
Boy you're in for a rough rough ride
Sweetheart, get a grip on yourself
Sweetheart, get a grip on yourself
Don't ask, don't tell, it was a marriage made in hell
Sweetheart, get a grip on yourself
Everybody wants to know the answer
Every dicer wants to know well what are the chances
Everybody loves a sure thing
Everybody wants the count before the bell rings

Bloodlines
04:01

Broken bottles and car alarms at night
I hate everything about this town
Prescription pills and losing teeth in fights
I hate everything about this town
Antennae up those endless hours in the hospital at 2 am
Paper and projects high flying times as we went up and down again
Bloodlines
When I'm walking just before dusk and dark
I love everything about this town
Peaceful mornings unbroken but for barks
I love everything about this town
Ariel up those nameless faces in among the flowers at 5 am
Forward and fly we're on the run we're temporary with the sun

A Balancing Act
04:00
|
|||
|
Hearts break on the first take
We can't walk on water we can't levitate
And there's no rehearsal and no matinee
When all the stars turn black we can medicate
No ESP or second sight
An uppercut to your blindside
It's a balancing act, in a figure of eight
It's a balancing act, on a tightrope spinning plates
Teeth bite at the first sight
Of blood or kicking legs under the knife
And there's a piece of paper we need you to sign
Don't worry about the small print everything will be fine
You can't come back from the dead
At least that's what the doctor said
It's a balancing act, in a figure of eight
It's a balancing act, on a tightrope spinning plates

I Don't Feed My Tigers
03:36
|
|||
|
I keep my demons where I can see them
Out of the battle grounds and bars
I keep my enemies cut adrift lost at sea
In a hail of angry stars
I don’t feed my tigers I don’t feed my wild dogs
I don’t feed my rattlesnakes or blue poison dart frogs
Pain Bodies
I keep my ghosts sedated and anaesthetised
Gathering dust not crawling walls
I keep my haunted house with the lights off the power out
Blinds on the windows locks on doors
I don’t feed my tigers I don’t feed my vampire bats
I don’t feed my piranhas I don’t feed my wild cats

White Feathers
03:22
|
|||
|
This ache in my heart won't leave me alone
I can still see your face though you're buried and gone
This noise in my head well it won't quieten down
Shouting hey just maybe he'll come back around
White feathers and rosary
Didn't do no good to me
Strange voices on the telephone
Strange dreams and I can't go home
This gap in my wardrobe is gathering dust
The scars on my chest are the colour of rust
This silence drops pins on the floors in my house
Whispering in my ear that you've only gone out
