Bluebells 03:46
My baby’s always busy when the bluebells are out Keep on wishing I could show her around She’s always running at the sound of the school bells She don’t want to see the blue bells All for the grade That paper always blotting out the sunny days These petals only hang around till early may And you can’t smell them through your screen saver It’s not the same And boy I’ve tried Chasing memories that elude me cause the boy inside Won’t ever find nostalgia ’til his worlds collide And his girl’s missing moments just passing by Oh that wonder you felt as a child Head on the ground and your eyes in the heavens Like you could float to the clouds But the branches stretch their hands and hold you down Tuck you into a bed of violet If I got her there then she wouldn’t fight it She would invite it

A Friend 04:11
Don’t be a stranger A cold memory she’d rather forget Don’t be a wonderer Those dark streets might have you yet But don’t get too familiar Those eyes are chasm you’ll easily slip Don’t be a settler Your heart will be stolen and broken again It’s hard to know x2 How to be a friend No matter what you think you can give her You’re not her deliverer let her go Can’t be a lover Though it’s burning within you don’t let it show But don’t be a fighter If you fight her you’ll never know If she could discover That your love is what she is looking for It’s hard to know x2 How to be a friend x2 No don’t get too familiar Those eyes are chasm you’ll easily slip Don’t be a settler Your heart will be stolen and broken again It’s hard to know x4 How to be a friend

Wondering Wondering eyes Take strolls in the summer time When she’s out of sight I get into my mind Such an impressionable space Though I try to find the strength the hunger takes its toll And lo imagination fills the space my love would hold All this eating out The bill’s getting high
Ladies that lunch On my mind I’m bleeding out It’s just a matter of time Ladies that lunch Wondering Wondering eyes I sail close to the shore I wonder why I orchestrate siren songs With the tunes that I find Their mystery appropriated Wide eyed are pushed in the mould I make, a little cage The mind indulges for a taste And only to incarcerate itself In some tepid hell All this eating out The bill’s getting high
Ladies that lunch On my mind I’m bleeding out It’s just a matter of time Ladies that lunch Wasting my time making carnations for canapés When I’ve got the whole entrée at home Hold tight cause I’m running babe Yeah I’m on my way
