Be My Friend

If you like me and I like you
We could try if you want to
P. A. I. N
Be my friend
You act so coolly when you come by
I need my winter coat in the sunshine
P. A. I. N
Be my friend
You had a secret, a big one.
Our little bow came undone
Now there are spaces where we should be
There’s a hole there’s a hole a whole lot of empty
P. A. I. N
Be my friend

Carry On

There you go, enjoy the ride.
The carpet’s red, the doors are wide
Everything is spinning all around you and all the good things have found you
Everything is coming your way.
They’ll hold you up, you’ll be the one.
Pick a tune, they’ll sing along
Everything is happening to you.
All you wanted is coming true
Everything is falling into place
Run out of time, out of sleep, out of breath.
Carry on what you can.
What will you keep, what will you leave behind.
If you say me. I won’t mind.
Don’t stop, doing what you want to, cause I’m always going to love you
None of this will ever go away.
Everything is spinning all around you, and all the good things have found you
Everything is falling into place
Run out of time, out of sleep, out of breath.
Carry on what you can.

Casino Town

Bankers and bottle blondes
roidy boys in tiny bonds.
Working for security
saving everyone from me.
Here in casino town
either you’re in or you’re out.
Looking like a ghetto now
from the shire to the bower.
You can hear Macquarie weep
they sold the vision splendid cheap.
Here is casino town
build it up or knock it down.
Traffic jams and lollipops
streets are filled with empty shops.
Midnight and I’m all locked out
Only kings and queens about.
Here in casino town
everybody wants the crown

Hola Senorita
03:55
|

I won a parrot in a game,
took him home in a big old cage.
He talked and talked and talked all day
but the only thing that he could say was
Hola seniorita.
I let him out he flew around.
Sometimes he just sat for hours,
up on the chandelier
and all day long I’d hear
Hola seniorita.
He met all my friends.
I read him stories every evening,
from books and magazines,
he like to watch things on tv.
I lost a parrot in a game.
Should have know better than to play
a man with so few fingers.
I had so few hands.
Walking home in the morning
by the sea I threw myself in.
There he was waiting for me
He read our favourite story.

So we’re standing facing off from twenty paces
who of us will be the first to blink
you’re looking fine
you always dress for the occasion.
any occasion.
What is it you want
why don’t you just say what you want
and make it easy.
does it really need to be like this
curse me hate do whatever
it takes to change the weather
round here
let the sun in
If I didn’t know oh baby if you hadn’t shown me any better
there’d be less I’m trying to forget
and figure out
what do I do
with this chest full
of stars for you
What is it you want
why don’t you just say what you want
and make it easy.
Maybe I don’t even know myself
I stop and start
it’s getting harder to ignore it
or remember
What is it you want
why don’t you just say what you want
and make it easy.
the sun is up they’re counting down.
3 bells ring out
we’ve drawn a crowd
my hand is steady
are you ready?

Messy Time
03:06
|

I thought we were glue
I thought we would stick.
I thought a lot of things
that weren’t really happening.
Turned around to find
it’s a very messy time.
I fell asleep at the wheel
that much I admit.
I didn’t see the bus
till I was under it.
I missed every sign
it’s a very messy time.
I see you around
you are looking thin.
Was it me or was it you
who let the enemy in?
No reason or rhyme
it’s a very messy time.
I missed every sign
it’s a very messy time.
