I Know 03:05
(I know, I know, I know) When you say you love me in that funny way it shows (I know) Lipstick stains on the window panes, well then I know (I know) Long goodbye give me the evil eye, oh then I know (I know) Said you’d never leave me, how deceiving When I’m with you, when I’m with you We’re holding hands going two by two When I’m with you, when I’m with you My heart beats a brand new tune When I’m with you, when I’m with you Reverberating around the room When I’m with you, when I’m with you (I know) My double bed is getting smaller without you (I know) All the things you said are being called up for review (I know) I dreamt of weddings 'til the morning followed through (I know) It’s all so tedious except When I’m with you, when I’m with you We’re holding hands going two by two When I’m with you, when I’m with you My heart beats a brand new tune When I’m with you, when I’m with you Reverberating around the room When I’m with you, when I’m with you When I’m with you, when I’m with you We’re holding hands going two by two When I’m with you, when I’m with you My heart beats a brand new tune When I’m with you, when I’m with you Reverberating around the room When I’m with you, when I’m with you I know

Child do you know what you remind me of? A great white whale lost in the desert. If I were to consider dipping you in a pool By the heels well shouldn’t that be my pleasure Cause you know as well as me how much I hate to see My jealousy crushed underneath its own weight So I'll be waiting by the entry gates For a sign you’ve found some poor old pal of mine singing: ‘Some joker's got his hooks in me And I’m waiting to see if there's another card up his sleeve A whistle's blown undoubtedly Oh it's the strangest feeling Like walking on the ceiling And watching the snow fall up.’ Blissfully unaware of the prey you’ve ensnared in your traps you forgot were even there. And ain't it always too late to circumnavigate Once you’re caught in the jaws of a grizzly bear. And you can talk yourself out of decisions But you know it's only going to get tighter And you wish that you had the courage To scream out for help but you’d rather not frighten her. Well honey I’ve been a state And I’ve made some mistakes But I ain’t gonna hurt no one no more. Not gonna hurt myself no more. Cos some jokers got a pair of hooks in me And I’m waiting to see if there's another card up my sleeve. I’ve wrung myself dry completely. I’ve no love left to give and no life left to live Or at least that’s how it seems to me. Bring on the frills and the lace If you cover my face Then I’ll do anything. Bring on the frills and the lace If you cover my face Then I’ll do anything. Bring on the frills and the lace If you cover my face Then I’ll do anything. Bring on the frills and the lace If you cover my face Then I’ll do anything.

Spooky 03:18
My stomach’s feeling bare. And I’ve eaten through my train fare. Thought I’d cure it with an ice cream. What a wretched day for hijinks. I’m all through playing mind games. I’ve put down my last card. It’s the last time that I’ll write you, But that line’s just too hard. Come now play selector. Claw machine for free. Gripper grab me quickly, So that I might not bleed. The air is just so thin round here. Each breath is like my last. Raggedly I breathe on, Until you let me past.

The honeymoon suite, bathing in the street Says "oh what have I landed in?" My baby’s left me. She’s taken the toaster, Two hams and a bottle of gin. Reception phoned up, they brought back my breakfast. Roses, chocolate and cream. The roses are torn, from petal to thorn. The chocolate fucked off with the cream. Summer's long and winter's cold. I’m no expert but so I’m told. Babe, come back to me. I’m trying. Wake up sleepyhead, from your king sized bed. You’ve plenty explaining to do. Please, concierge, don’t give me the urge To leave a hateful review. I’ve a bike made for two and I’ve painted the nursery, Sky pink or baby blue. The bike it shall stay but I’ll scrub out our names And write "oh what can you do?" Summer's long and winter's cold. I’m no expert but so I’m told. Babe, come back to me. I’m trying Babe, when you’re away It feels like dying. Oh baby, when you’re away Oh even for just one day Oh babe. I’m crying.
