i was choking on a cornflake[00:00:25]
you said "have some toast instead"[00:00:27]
i was sleeping maybe three hours[00:00:32]
you said "you should get to bed"[00:00:35]
i was waiting at the church door[00:00:40]
for the minister to show[00:00:42]
i was looking at the new year[00:00:47]
you said "walk before you crawl"[00:00:50]
i was feeling like a loser[00:00:58]
you said "hey, you've still got me"[00:01:01]
i was feeling pretty lonely[00:01:05]
you said "you wanted to be free"[00:01:08]
i was looking for a good time[00:01:13]
you said "let the good times start"[00:01:15]
with a quiver of your eyelid[00:01:20]
you took on someone else's part[00:01:23]
but what about me[00:01:27]
i don't really see[00:01:30]
how things will improve[00:01:34]
if all you want is to stay...[00:01:36]
maybe i'm a little greedy[00:01:39]
you said "think before you speak"[00:01:41]
sometimes i'm a little seedy[00:01:46]
you said "everyone is weak"[00:01:49]
now i feel a little better[00:01:53]
is there something i can do?[00:01:56]
but i never heard the answer[00:02:01]
i never had a clue[00:02:04]
but what about me[00:02:07]
i don't really see[00:02:11]
how things will improve[00:02:14]
if all you want is to stay[00:02:17]
the lights are on in the house tonight[00:02:19]
going to creep around going to creep into your head[00:02:21]
all you want is to stay loose[00:02:24]
there's a little echo calling[00:03:08]
like a miner trapped inside[00:03:10]
if i tell her of this moment[00:03:14]
she will in me doubts confide[00:03:17]
and she's on me like a blanket[00:03:21]
like a stalk of wilting grass[00:03:23]
i'm not sure about her motives[00:03:27]
i'm not sure about her past[00:03:30]
but my faith is like a bullet[00:03:36]
my belief is like a bolt[00:03:39]
the only thing that lets me sleep at night[00:03:43]
a little carriage of the soul[00:03:45]
if it starts a little bleaker[00:03:49]
then the year may yet be gold[00:03:52]
happiness is not for keeping[00:03:55]
happiness is not my goal[00:03:59]
so what about me[00:04:02]
i don't really see[00:04:05]
how things will improve[00:04:09]
all you want is to stay loose[00:04:11]
oh what about them[00:04:16]
you play mother hen[00:04:20]
to a gaggle of gangling youth[00:04:23]
all you want is to stay[00:04:26]
the lights are on in the house tonight[00:04:28]
going to creep around going to creep into your head[00:04:30]
all you want is to stay[00:04:33]
i was living through the seconds[00:04:36]
my composure was a mess[00:04:39]
i was miles from tenderness[00:04:43]
it was dark outside, the day it was lying in pieces[00:04:46]
everything is flat and dreary[00:04:54]
i couldn't care what's in the news[00:04:57]
television is the blues[00:05:01]
television is hysterical laughter of people[00:05:05]
and i know it could be me[00:05:12]
i'm always asking for more[00:05:15]
i keep running round in circles[00:05:20]
i keep looking for a doorway[00:05:23]
i'm going to need two lives[00:05:27]
to follow the paths i've been taking[00:05:29]
