If you pin your hopes on me
I'll pin a medal on you
You're foolish or you're brave
Because I've told you the truth
I'll always leave my shoes at the door
‘Cause I've fallen in love with someone like you before
Your rubber tree lips
I just want to eat them
And your sugar plum eyes
Each time mine meet them
My feet, they can't find the floor
But I've fallen in love with someone like you before
And when you play cards with all of the fellers
You can win all their hearts but you can't make me jealous
And I know I should be grateful for all your insecurities
‘Cause even when you're unfaithful you're still thinking of me
You boss me around
Though I'm so much older
And I could carry you down
To hell on my shoulders
They'll remember my name at the door
‘Cause I've fallen in love with someone like you before
You're charmed and impressed
And seduced by my candor
But this melancholy boy
Has no delusions of grandeur
The truth is just the best way to score
Yes I've fallen in love with someone like you before
I've fallen in love with someone like you before
I've fallen in love with someone like you before

A Senator's daughter now living abroad
She damaged her liver, still she drinks when she's bored
A Communist actor who plays violin
Fire burns in his eyes though his hair's getting thin
A yoga instructor returned from the East
A Polish conductor, a Birmingham priest
Mummy's Got Strange Friends
Mummy's Got Strange Friends
There's the lodger upstairs, an anorexic nurse
She says she's much better but she's looking much worse
And the tragic young wife of a millionaire
She spent all his money ‘cause he had an affair
There's only one person on whom they depend
She lives in my house so the fun never ends
‘Cause Mummy's Got Strange Friends
Mummy's Got Strange Friends
And everyone knows when Daddy comes home
They all run away like the plague
He offers them Scotch, they say "Good Heavens! Gosh!
How did it get so late?"
When I come home from school I can never be sure
Who'll be telling their secrets collapsed on the floor
Or out in the garden finishing their tea
Mummy is smiling as she notices me
"Do you remember Heidi and Sven?"
I shake my head and she smiles once again
‘Cause Mummy's Got Strange Friends
Mummy's Got Strange Friends
Mummy's Got Strange Friends
Mummy's Got Strange Friends

She's not the girl next door
She got me once before
Sixteen and heaven sent
She seemed so innocent
She wears her Grandma's clothes
She's not like other girls
Old records on her bed
And cobwebs in her head
Don't fall in love with Laura Ingraham
Don't fall in love with Laura Ingraham
She doesn't know the rules
She mustn't go to school
She says it's not good for her health
So her Daddy teaches her himself
Don't fall in love with Laura Ingraham
Don't fall in love with Laura Ingraham
You know the vicar's boy
He had his life destroyed last year
No, he's never been the same
Since he first called out her name
Don't fall in love with Laura Ingraham
Don't fall in love with Laura Ingraham
Don't fall in love with Laura Ingraham
Don't fall in love with Laura Ingraham
I saw her yesterday
I should have run away
But she combed my hair with her fingertips
So I said a prayer, then I kissed her lips

Ukrainian Girl
02:59
|

|
She knows Quentin Crisp and she speaks with a lisp
Ukrainian girl with an Eskimo kiss
Rubbing nose to nose with the fashion class
Ukrainian girl holds a cocktail glass
She's a skinny girl in a leather dress
A rock and roll drummer tried to pull her chain
He dragged her by the nipples to a downtown train
But when he undid the wrapping all that was there
Was a laboratory rat in her underwear
Such a skinny girl with a large big toe
It isn't easy to stay so very pale
She says she's jealous of people who're in jail
Not that she'd want to be in jail
A naked civil servant watches Greta Garbo
With Ukrainian girl at a picture show
She's a runway model on a one-way street
She's a champagne bottle on a subway seat
Such a pretty face, such a lovely girl
In such an ugly world
Ukrainian girl
Ukrainian girl

I waited patiently for June
But it seems it's come too soon
Looking back I now remember
I miss the cold days of December
The winter months she went away
I wrote sad letters every day
Still I never lost my temper
I miss the cold days of December
April, May, June, July
Children play, grown-ups cry
Since she came back through my door
I'm much more lonely than before
I try my best, still I offend her
I miss the cold days of December
April, May, June, July
Children play, grown-ups cry
They say the grass is never green
I know exactly what they mean
June, July, August, September
I miss the cold days of December

How I miss my baby so
We said goodbye two weeks ago
I really thought I could be strong
I was wrong I was wrong
And the girls don't look so pretty
And the world don't seem so busy
Any more
"Don't lose that girl
She’s young and she’s pretty
Much more than you deserve
Don't lose that girl"
Two weeks ago I hated her
Now even just the name of her
Makes me sink right through the floor
I love her more than I did before
And the girls don't look so pretty
And the world don't seem so busy
Any more
"Don't lose that girl
She’s young and she’s pretty
Much more than you deserve
Don't lose that girl
Don’t lose that girl"

Jessica, Sit Down
03:23

Even when the sky is blue on a perfect summer's day
Even when she's smiling at you she really wants to run away
Jessica, sit down
Put your suitcase on the ground
Jessica, sit down
Ditched her friends in Mexico, still she feels boxed in
Even when you let her go she screams for oxygen
Jessica, sit down
Put that suitcase on the ground
Jessica, sit down

Wooden Chair
02:43
|

I’ll be over very soon
Sit down on your wooden chair
In your sunny living room
Let me find you there
I can take a little time
If you have some things to do
Anything you say is fine
It’s up to you
You can take me to a movie if you want
You may have to listen to me if you don’t
Understand me when I say
I don’t have to see you now
I like to tease myself sometimes
Anyhow
Look out of your kitchen window you will see
The sun is slowly sinking into the balcony
It’s good to talk with you this way
I think we can communicate
We can have each other right away
Or we can wait
You don’t have to say you’re sorry, I understand
There will always be tomorrow as we planned
So, sit down on your wooden chair
In your sunny living room
Let me come and find you there
Very soon

I'm So Sorry, Caroline
02:44

Caroline, don’t be depressed
Put on your summer dress
Let’s take a ride out to the sea
Oh please won’t you ride with me
Every time that I see a blue sky
That’s the time that you start to cry
I’m so sorry, Caroline
Just last week I felt so blue
Caroline, what did you do?
You ran around, you had a ball
It’s okay, I just wish you called
But every time that I see a blue sky
That’s the time that you start to cry
I’m so sorry, Caroline
You only seem to be glad when I seem to be sad
Do you think I’ll run away if I’m happy for more than a day?
Ride with me out to the sea
Swim away your misery
I can buy you a sugar cone
Oh no, you wanna stay home
I try my best to rescue you
But I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
I’m so sorry, Caroline
I’m so sorry, Caroline
I’m so sorry, Caroline

I Live In Constant Fear
03:18

I live in constant fear
Of one of your bad moods
I can't take the stress
When you get depressed
Any more than you
And every time you cry
I just want to run
Far away
And start all over
Again
But when you smile
The sun comes out
When you smile
That's what it's all about
When you smile
How soon I forget
I live in constant dread
Of the telephone
As soon as you call
I scream at the wall
"Leave me alone!"
The conversation's stiff
And we're so polite
Nothing is said
But the subtext is
"Get out of my life!"
But when you smile
The sun comes out
When you smile
That's what it's all about
When you smile
How soon I forget
I live in constant fear
Of killing you

Ghosts

I promised my baby as she walked by my side
Down Princes Street after midnight
That I'd love her forever, forever and a day
But she doesn't quite hear me ‘cause a bagpiper plays
And the football fans all come running
Waving Hibernian scarves
Screaming at Edinburgh Castle
Smashing up windows and cars
Now the road is deserted, we're alone once again
Except for the sound of the bagpiper playing
And I tell her I'm jealous, and she doesn't deny
And I tell her it's over, and she's starting to cry
She says I'm the one that she loves
As she wipes a tear off her face
But I'm too proud to stop humming
The tune that the bagpiper plays
And now we are walking past dark shop windows
I see our reflection, we look just like ghosts

Night
02:35

Soon
The sun will rise
So close your eyes
And go to sleep
No need to walk me
To the door
I must hurry
Back to her
I'll take a taxi
Through the rain
As dawn
Begins to break
If I enter
Upon tiptoes
My love
Should not awake
My love
I'm home again
I'm black with rain
Please don't get up
I love you
Oh so much
More and more
More and more
Outside
The birds are singing
I wash my face
Turn out the light
Outside
The day's beginning
But my love
To you
Goodnight

End Of The Day
04:21
|

It's the end of the day
All the children are asleep
It's the end of the day
Their clothes are in a heap
It's the end of the day
Their little toes are curled
It's the end of the day
The sun is halfway round the world
It's the end of the day
It came and then it went
It's the end of the day
You kept your change the rest you spent
It's the end of the day
It got old and grew a beard
It's the end of the day
It just disappeared
It's the end of the day
