Daddy

It's been so long since we last spoke.
I don't think you've even noticed.
Our relationship to you is just a joke.
You don't think of what you've missed.

I gave you loads of chances while I was growing up.
Now I'm nearly out of hope; I've almost given up.

So tell me
Why should I keep waiting?
Why should I even care?
It's too late; I can't take back these tears.
You'll have to make up those lost years.

I know deep down inside you really mean well.
You once said you'd grant my wish.
It's just sometimes it is so hard to tell
Cos you act so damn selfish.

To make it up to me you'll have to change your way.
To show how much you care just do the things you say.

And tell me
Why should I keep waiting?
Why should I even care?
It's too late; I can't take back these tears.
You'll have to make up those lost years.
You'll have to make up those lost years.
We'll have to make up those lost years.

Goodbye

I thought I was broken before.
Well if I was, now I'm broken more.
I had visions of my defective body
Slowly infecting the rest of me.
I felt my head and my heart
Were crumbling away, falling apart.
I thought my heart just didn't work.
Now all it seems to do is hurt.

I'm broken, I'm broken today
And no one's gonna take me away.
I'm broken, I'm broken tonight
And I just don't know how to fight.

The only thing I feel is pain.
No joy for me, just sorrow again.
I was cold and unfeeling for so long.
Now I know this love is real but you're long gone.
I didn't think my wasted heart could love again.
The agony of this love courses through my veins.

I'm broken, I'm broken today
And no one's gonna take me away.
I'm broken, I'm broken tonight
And I just don't know how to fight.

They say it's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
I didn't love until I'd already lost
So you weren't there to catch my fall.

I didn't really get the chance to love you.
You deserve to have a love that's true.
We only had a short time together.
Now I can't bear not being with you forever.
All I think about is you:
Smiling, laughing, cuddling with you.
You're on my mind and though I try
I don't know how to say goodbye, say goodbye.
Goodbye, goodbye.

Rub A Magic Lamp?

Have you heard the one about the genie?
That's one of many ways the joker starts.
Then he dutifully tops up your Lambrini.
Before you know it, he's broken your heart.

You said you always wanted a comedian.
You said you thought he might have been the one.
Instead it turns out this one's a chameleon.
Disguised, he took advantage: your're undone.

You got what you wanted and oh, so much more.
Now you know the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for."

You've got a brand new job; it's so exciting.
You've got your own internal phone number.
The high wages were amazingly inviting.
But your colleagues couldn't possibly be dumber.

You're the one who's meant to be in training.
Yet you're the one they turn to when in need.
You thought your new career gave your life meaning.
But now your life is very dull indeed.

You got what you wanted and oh, so much more.
Now you know the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for."

You've moved into new shared accommodation.
It's just a bit more pricey than before.
You've awaited it with great anticipation.
It's everything that you were looking for.

To say your flatmate's unclean's quite an understatement.
You didn't think that humans could survive
In this biohazard wasteland-like apartment.
Now you thank God for each day you're still alive.

You got what you wanted and oh, so much more.
Now you know the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for."

Dangerous Liaisons

I've got a dilemma, it's quite a dilemma indeed.
No one knows quite how much I need
You to say you love me, that you love me so much.
I really feel that we've got the common touch.

We can never be together. It's tragic but it's true.
Maybe that's the reason why I'm so in love with you.
All I want is one night in your arms. Together we'd be one.
I really think this love affair's got to end before it's begun.

This feeling of danger, yes of danger turns me on.
Now I cannot wait until he's gone.
That is when I'm thinking, I'll be thinking of you.
Not being with you is making me so blue.

We can never be together. It's tragic but it's true.
Maybe that's the reason why I'm so in love with you.
All I want is one night in your arms. Together we'd be one.
I really think this love affair's got to end before it's begun.

One day when I'm older, when we're older we'll meet again.
Maybe then we won't have to be restrained.
We could make love, oh, make love at long last.
I really hope these feelings won't have passed.

We could maybe be together. I think by then you'd be due
The chance to hear me tell you just how much I love you.
I could have one night in your arms. Together we'd be one.
I'd really hate this love affair to have ended before it's begun.

Brainstorm

I've got to be careful and not step out of line.
It only takes one step for me to lose my mind
For it's a slippery slope and once I'm movin' down
The momentum drags me underground.

There's something oh, so familiar about the pain
And I don't know how but I've fallen down again.
It's like seeing an old friend when I'm going round the bend
And it's oh, so hard to pick myself up again.

So here I am stranded on the ocean of self-loathing.
Return to land means a great amount of rowing
But can I be bothered to do what is clever?
Maybe I'll just stay out here forever.

There's something oh, so familiar about the pain
And I don't know how but I've fallen down again.
It's like seeing an old friend when I'm going round the bend
And it's oh, so hard to pick myself up again.

This life isn't worth it without my goals and ambitions
So I will strive to fulfill all my life's missions.
I've got no other choice but to keep on moving.
I'll kill anyone in my way.

There's something oh, so familiar about the pain
And I don't know how but I've fallen down again.
It's like seeing an old friend when I'm going round the bend
And it's oh, so hard, it's going to be oh, so hard to pick myself up again.

My Fight

Yet another one's descended from my heaven today.
They all come and go but none know how to stay.
So I sit atop my cloud, kneeling as I pray
For the strength to be able to see the world their way.

Cos it's so dark I can't see.
The light is hiding from me.

Where I am it's always night.
No one knows about my plight.
Self-aware to grievous heights.
I'm left alone with my might.

I can walk like them and talk like them
But I know I'm not one of them
And I'll never be because I'm me
But they don't know cos they can't see.

They think I make things better, that our joining is fate.
They don't see the truth of me before it's too late.
I am their respite and I carry all their weight
So when they finally see me they don't know how to hate.

Cos I take away their hurt
And I quench all their thirst.

Where I am it's always night.
No one knows about my plight.
Self-aware to grievous heights.
I'm left alone with my might.

I can walk like them and talk like them
But I know I'm not one of them
And I'll never be because I'm me
But they don't know cos they can't see.

I listen to them talk and I listen to them moan.
While I am with them I know I am alone.
I endure and fix their problems till outgrown.
While I teach them independence the lesson is my own.

Now I deal with my fear.
Is my life really here?

Where I am it's always night.
No one knows about my plight.
Self-aware to grievous heights.
I'm left alone with my might.

I can walk like them and talk like them
But I know I'm not one of them
And I'll never be because I'm me
But they don't know cos they can't see.

Where I am it's always night.
No one knows about my plight.
Self-aware to grievous heights.
I'm left alone with my might.
I'm left alone. I'm best left alone.

My Fantasy

There's no escaping what happened to today.
It's hard to believe that this happened again.
I thought I was over this part of the game
But now I've restarted I'm hooked on the pain.

Abandon all logic
And act like it's magic.
I think that I'm psychic.
It's all very tragic
And I threw all caution to the wind.

I don't know why I've fallen so hard.
Why did I give you the keys to my heart?
It feels like it's breaking when we are apart.
Why did I feel that I had to restart?

Abandon all logic
And act like it's magic.
I think that I'm psychic.
It's all very tragic
And I threw all caution to the wind.

I no longer walk now I've learnt how to fly.
I don't take the mortal roads; I use the sky.
You make me feel like I'm flying so high.
One slip and I will fall; that's how I'll die.

Abandon all logic
And act like it's magic.
I think that I'm psychic.
It's all very tragic
And I threw all caution to the wind.

Maybe I've finally paid all my dues.
Now I can finally love who I choose.
Redemption complete, now my love can be true.
Now I deserve a love with you.

Letters Home

Dear Mummy, I met a guy.
I think he might be the perfect guy.
He is so gorgeous and he really is fine.
He looks to cook and clean and he bought me some wine.

La la la la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la la la la la la.

Dear Sister, I think it's time.
I'm gonna let him take my body tonight.
I've only known him for a week but it feels right.
He makes me feel so special when he holds me tight.

La la la la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la la la la la la.

Dear Mummy, I think I was wrong.
He hasn't called me since that night he took me home.
I wish I'd waited to be sure he was the one.
Now I feel used and like I can't trust anyone.

La la la la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la la la la la la.

Dear Sister, hear me out today.
We shouldn't always let men get their way.
No man will hate you if you tell him not tonight.
He'll even respect you if you make him do the time.

So please for me baby sister take your time.
Please wait until the time is right.
