I Was Choking On A Cornflake

You Said "Have Some Toast Instead"

I Was Sleeping Maybe Three Hours

You Said "You Should Get To Bed"

I Was Waiting At The Church Door

For The Minister To Show

I Was Looking At The New Year

You Said "Walk Before You Crawl"



I Was Feeling Like A Loser

You Said "Hey, You've Still Got Me"

I Was Feeling Pretty Lonely

You Said "You Wanted To Be Free"

I Was Looking For A Good Time

You Said "Let The Good Times Start"

With A Quiver Of Your Eyelid

You Took On Someone Else's Part



Maybe I'm A Little Greedy

You Said "Think Before You Speak"

Sometimes I'm A Little Seedy

You Said "Everyone Is Weak"

Now I Feel A Little Better

Is There Something I Can Do?

But I Never Heard The Answer

I Never Had A Clue



But What About Me

I Don't Really See

How Things Will Improve

If All You Want Is To Stay Loose



There's A Little Echo Calling

Like A Miner Trapped Inside

If I Tell Her Of This Moment

She Will In Me Doubts Confide

And She's On Me Like A Blanket

Like A Stalk Of Wilting Grass

I'm Not Sure About Her Motives

I'm Not Sure About Her Past



But My Faith Is Like A Bullet

My Belief Is Like A Bolt

The Only Thing That Lets Me Sleep At Night

A Little Carriage Of The Soul

If It Starts A Little Bleaker

Then The Year May Yet Be Gold

Happiness Is Not For Keeping

Happiness Is Not My Goal



But What About Me

I Don't Really See

How Things Will Improve

If All You Want Is To Stay Loose

But What About Them

You Play Mother Hen

To A Gaggle Of Gangling Youth

All You Want Is To Stay Loose



I Was Living Through The Seconds

My Composure Was A Mess

I Was Miles From Tenderness

It Was Dark Outside, The Day It Was Lying In Pieces

Everything Is Flat And Dreary

I Couldn't Care What's In The News

Televisio
