I Stopped Into A Club
I Thought I'd See A Show
Everyone Was There
At Least Everyone I Know
Their Knickers In A Knot
Their Hands Upon Their Heart
The Best They'd Ever Seen
The Greatest Work Of Art
I Wished That It Was Me....

It's Bleaker Than You Think
I'm Running Out Of Ink
Give A Guy A Break
This Is What It Takes
To Drive A Man To Drink

A Party At A Friend's
Toronto's Coolest Scene
I Thought I'd Bring A Tape
To Show Them Where I'd Been
And Listen For A While
The Lyrics Made Them Smile
They Said That It Was Fine
Although It's Not The Style
I Said It Wasn't Me

Once Upon A Time
I Couldn't Get Enough
Until I Made It Big
And That's When It Got Rough
Dissapointed Now
Perhaps A Bit Surprised
To Look Them In The Face
And See It In Their Eyes
They Wish It Wasn't Me

It's Bleaker Than You Think
I'm Running Out Of Ink
Give A Guy A Break
This Is What It Takes
To Drive A Man To Drink

I Used To Hold You Close
You Used To Tell Me Things
You Never Told A Soul
Until You Heard Me Sing
The Details Of Your Life
Condensed Into A Song
The Neighbor And His Wife
Work Out And Sing Along
And You Can't Look At Me

It's Bleaker Than You Think
I'm Running Out Of Ink
Give A Guy A Break
This Is What It Takes
To Drive A Man To Drink

Could Song Be An Alibi
A Lyric Replacement For Falling In Love
But Now That The Well Is Dry
I Can't Understand What I've Been Singing Of...

Do You Know What It Is To Love?
To Really Love?
To Really Love....
Do I?

I Cycled By Your House
I Saw You On The Lawn
I See You All The Time
Now That You Are Gone
I Tried To Call Your Name
But Something Made Me Stop
I Call You Once A Day
Until You Call The Cops
And Told Them It Was Me

I Filled A Plastic Bag
With Everything I Wrote
I Threw It Off A Bridge
And Thought That It Would Float.
The Water Made It Sink
The Bag Was Bleeding Ink.
I Wished That I Could Swim
I Wished That I Could Drink
I Wished That It Was Me.

It's Bleaker Than You Think
I'm Running Out Of Ink
Give A Guy A Break
This Is What It Takes
To Drive A Man To Drink
I'm Running Out Of Ink
Give A Guy A Break
This Is What It Takes
To Drive A Man To Drink
To Drive A Man To Drink
To Drive A Man To Drink
