Some of these are hazy attempts (which means they're wrong) but the vast majority are either the general consensus or the words of Julia herself.

Great Leap Forward
Fall in line
Enough to liberate the reasons not to
Won't deny
The benefits are great with or without you
Such a bitter order
You'll go far
Wait outside
It's cold enough to shake the reason from view
No more lines
And no more limitations
We've broken through
Such a bitter order
You'll go far
Don't talk
Don't worry
Don't make a fuss
Just walk
Don't hurry
Don't rush
You gotta keep calm now
Don't talk
Don't worry
Don't make a fuss
Just walk
Don't hurry
Don't rush
And try to stay calm now
One last time
You shoulder all the weight they laid upon you
We're alright
We'll still be standing straight with or without you
Such a bitter order
You'll go far
Such a great leap forward
Don't talk
Don't worry
Don't make a fuss
Just walk
Don't hurry
Don't rush
You gotta keep calm now
Try to stay calm now
Such a bitter order
You'll go far
Such a great leap forward


Hidden Agenda
This is so uncomfortable
Another silent slide
All your friends are beautiful
You live a lipstick lie
You've got your own agenda
You got your reasons why
You've got a hidden agenda
A little late this time
This is not unusual
Given the trait you pride
You hit full steam and you're invincible
Another landslide
I've got my own agenda
I got my reasons why
I got a hidden agenda
I'll make it right this time
Hit full steam you're gonna be invincible


Silences and Distances
Good for love
Good for love
All your silences and distances
They all add up
No good for love
In the way
In the way
Keep your papercuts and skeletons
Locked away
But they're in the way
Please don't make this hard
At least be willing to try
Release
Walk away
Walk away
It makes you stronger
Not to stay
Just walk away
Please don't make this harder
At least be willing to try
Release
Release
Don't make this hard
We're still willing to try
Gone for today
Come back to yesterday
All that you leave behind is still here
Silences and distances
Wash you away
Just walk away


Like It Is
Tell it like it is
Call it black
Call it copper baby
Show us what we missed
Set us right
Set our world a-blazing now
Tell it like it is
Give us what we want
Hit us right where we need it maybe
All the things you had
Grey and white
Make an honest man of me
Everything we want
Tell it like it is
Like it is
Like it is
Anything you want
Anything you want
Anything you want
Anything at all
Tell it like it is
Like it is
Tell it like it is


Long Forlorn
This far
Means another lung
All for
Lose the race to one
Not so hard
This lung
Breathes another tar
All four
Lose the race so far
Not so long
Not so hard
Not forlorn
Not forlorn
Not for long
Not forlorn
Go far
Lose another lung
Not so hard
Not so hard
Not for long
Not forlorn
Not forlorn
This far means another
This far lose another
This far means another
This far lose another


Autumn Song
We like autumn
He likes to fall
She's so certain
He'll take the call
And I can't believe I waited back so long
An illuminated moment on my own
This infatuation's blatant, mutual
I just can't believe I waited back so long
He drives over
We hit the wall
She likes no one
He's casual
And I can't believe I waited back so long
An illuminated moment on my own
And I guess I'm only human after all
I just can't believe I held it back so long
And if this was real life
They'd keep us all down
No sense in reaching high


Little Fists
Last time I felt like this
I hit myself so hard I drew outside the lines
I drew deep red in lines
Next time I'll hold my little fists until I feel the fever walk away
Walk it clean away
And you will hold my hand
Walk across the line
We are bold if we are able
No one needs to know your sympathy's enough to keep me on the line
To keep me borderline
So this time I hold my little fists until the fever dies
And falls away
Wash it clean away
And you will hold my hand
Walk across the line
We are bold if we are able
And you will hold my hand
Walk across the line
We are bold as we young
Are young
We could be around
We might take it easy
We might be around
We could take it easy
(And you will hold my hand)
We should be around
(We'll walk across the line)
We might take it easy
(And you will hold my hand)
We might be around
(We'll walk across the line)
Lean on me when you don't need me


Necktie
You only wanted to beat the first train home
You only wanted to win the last line
All I've got is this noose
A necktie around me
You're my only one
You're my only one
You're my only one
You're always looking for me at first light
You're always looking to see in neon
All I have is this simple necktie
Around me
You're my only one
You're my only one
You're my only one
My only one
I feed it when you're gone
My only one
My only..
Tired, tired, we're so tired
We've been waking up and missing
Arms, no open arms
Arms around me
Gone and this is all I'm looking for
Make amends
It makes me weary now
I am so very tired
You're my only one
Tired, tired we're so tired
We've been waking up and missing
Tired, tired we're so tired
We've been waking up and missing arms
You're my only one
My only one
You're my only one


Debt
If you feel violated now
Just wait until the leeches get you home
They'll suck you in and break your vow
And no one cares about your honesty
What it means to be
If you were complicated then
Just think about it now you're on your own
You're too easy to defend
And we don't want you now you're on your own
You don't need to know
So walk on in and take a bow
Did you think that we were serious?
I can't stand you even now
And no one cares about you anyway
You don't need to stay
So be on your way
You owe me
You just make me numb
What have we become?
So walk on in and take a bow
Did you think that we were serious?
I can't stand you even now
And no one cares about you anyway
So be on your way
You'll be on your way
You owe me


Rondo
If you repeat what I say much longer
We'll be sending you away, I fear
And it's not that I am so much stronger
It's just they're not the words I want to hear
We don't need to know
We don't need to know
We don't need to know
We don't need to know
If you repeat what I say much long
We'll be sending you away, I fear
And it's not that I am so much stronger
It's just they're not the words I want to hear


Local Kid
All of the lights they are waiting for you
In this darkened neighbourhood
Every switch is poised just for you
Keep your circuit clear
You're open
You're open
All of the streets they are laid out for you
In this mapless neighbourhood
Every corner turns just for you
Your direction is clear
You're open
You're open
You're open
Come clean
All of our cars drive in circles for you
In this untried neighbourhood
Every simple hope falls through
Your conscience is clear
You're open
You're open
You're open
Come clean
You're open
Come clean
You're open


Precious
You can crawl all you want
I've come for your head
You crawl through the house
And under the bed
There's no use to hide
I've come for your head
You're very precious to me
I'll keep you in line
If you'll bring me the cheque
Just take your time
I'll take all you can get
You'll keep no secrets from me
All I want is a little more back this time
Shut your mouth
Put your money into it
All I want is a little more action
Show me you're no ordinary star
You're a curious child
With a cynical smile
But don't stray too wide
If you leave you can't come back
We keep no secrets, do we?
You're oh so precious to me
All I want is a little more back this time
Shut your mouth
Put your money into it
All I want is a little more action
Show me you're no ordinary star
All I want is a little more cash this time
Shut your mouth
Put your money into it
All I want is a little more action
Show me you're no ordinary star
We keep no secrets do we?
You're very precious to me...
All I want is
All I want is
Shut your mouth
Put your money into it
All I want is a little more action
Show me you're no ordinary star


Get Along
I want to paint a little picture
A picture of just you and I
Cause you, you're such a pretty colour
And you would go so well with I
And me, I'd be the ground beneath your feet if you could be my sky
Hey you
Hey me
Hey we
Yeah could get along a lot
Hey you
Hey me
Hey we
Yeah we could get along a lot
So tick tock
Take it over
Take it take it over I
Cuz you, you're such a pretty colour
And you would go so well with I
So come on baby let's paint pictures
I'll be the sun if you'll be sky
Me, I'll be the ground beneath you feet if you would be my sky
Hey you
Hey me
Hey we
Yeah could get along a lot
Hey you
Hey Me
Hey we
Yeah we could get along a lot
Hey you
Hey me
Hey we
Yeah we could get along a lot
So come on baby lets paint pictures
Pictures of just you and I
Cause you, you're such a pretty colour
And you would go so well with I
Hey you
Hey me
Hey we
Yeah could get along a lot
Hey you
Hey me
Hey we
Yeah we could get along a lot


Rocket
So you wanna put a rocket into my head
How about I take a look inside yours instead?
All those evil little girls they taunt you
And all your favourite ghosts still come back and haunt you
You take the world on at a pace that could break your neck
It's such a pity that you only run in circles
You rip your heart out and they throw it back to you
And every slur is like a hammer right through you
You and me, we've always been so ordinary
Just like me, you'll never be more than ordinary
Kick me outta me
Blow it all apart
Don't say anything, everything's breaking this heart
So you think you've got the world wrapped round your thumb (take a second, take a ride, take it over)
But your convoluted plans just make us numb (aint no matter anyway, you're going nowhere)
So correlate and televise your story
At any moment they'll delete your glory (I guess it should be better than a light on the outside)
You and me, we've always been so ordinary
Just like me, you'll never be more than ordinary
Kick me outta me (Kick you outta me)
Blow it all apart (Blow it all apart)
I think we'd rather be enemies making this hard
Lock you into you (Lock you into you)
Cut me apart (Cut me apart)
Don't say anything everything's breaking this heart
Everything's falling apart
You and me, we've always been so ordinary
Just like me, you'll never be more than ordinary


Enemy
So here we are
Not as before
Who would have thought we'd come this far?
And you know it's true
I've been through you
I wouldn't wish this on my enemy
So here you are
Just as before
Who would have thought you'd go this far?
And it's all too true
What you've been through
You know you brought it on yourself
The sun it makes you cry
You're black when you're in light
You couldn't hide it from us all
And you know it's true
I've been through you
I wouldn't wish this on my enemy
You're my enemy
You're my enemy
So here you stand
On broken land
Who would've thought we'd walk this far?
And it's all too true
All those things I put you through
You know you brought them on yourself
The sun it makes you cry
You're black when you're in light
You never thought to stop and question why
And it's all too true
I've been through you
I wouldn't wish this on my enemy
You're my enemy
You're my enemy
You're my enemy
You're my enemy
My enemy
You're my enemy
My enemy


Into The Sun
I'm broken and blue
I am porcelain too
Are you delicate?
I was one part of two now I'm riding it through
Are you up for it?
And it's been so long since you needed anyone
Now I need for this to come through
We will fly further than anyone
We'll be high as we sail into the sun
I'm eggshell and spoon
You're a cautious high noon
Always serious
Is this too far to leave it alone?
And it's been so long since I wanted anyone
Now I just want you to be bruised
We will fly further than anyone
We'll be high as we sail into the sun
We will fly further than anyone
We'll be high staring straight into the sun
Floating back
Photographs
Cause this bitter romance was too much for him
Crushed your pride
Broken wide
I just want to make it high
Further than anyone
We will fly further than anyone
We'll be high as we sail into the sun
We will fly further than anyone
We'll be high staring straight, straight into the sun


Softer Landing
Make my head a little stronger
Fortify my brain
Take my hand a little longer
Happily in bed
All I want is understanding
Bring it and like it
Build for me a softer landing
Cushion me again
There is no reason I should lie to you
And I won't die for you
Those feelings fell through
There is no easy way to tell you this
I've worn another's kiss
It's better everytime
Drag my head a little lower
Colour me in then
Pull my hand a little closer
Breathe it in again
Always be so understanding
Everything I know
Build for me a softer landing
Cushioning below
There is no reason I should lie to you
And I won't die for you
Those feelings fell through
There is no easy way to tell you this
I've worn another's kiss
It's better everytime
It's better everytime
It's better everytime
It's better everytime
There is no reason I should lie to you
And I won't die for you
Those feelings fell through
There is no easy way to tell you this
I've worn another's kiss
My heart feels no remiss
There's no reason I should lie to you
Those feelings fell through
And I won't die for you
I've broken your spell
I won't cry anymore


Fade Away
You woke up
You were lying alone
You reached for comfort
I was already gone
And you were sleeping
As I kissed you to go
Stable, is it all that you want?
And so I wonder, do you know me at all?
And you were sleeping anyway
As I kissed you to go
And I want you to know
As the skies fade below us
We were nearing the end
Break it out or fade away
Take time to adhere where you lie
Is it over?
Or is it me in denial?
You were sleeping anyway
As I kissed you to go
I can make it on my own
Break it out
And I want you to know
As the skies fade below us
You were nearing the end
Break it out or fade away
And I want you to know...
I can make it on my own


Someone You Really Want
Happy new year little boy
Hope this day finds you deep inside someone you want
For all your precious joy
Hope this here finds you deep inside the one you want
I've been living it out in my head so that you can find someone you really want
Happy new day baby boy
Hope this year finds you holding on to someone you want
Though I denied your joy
Hope this day finds things working out the way you want
I've been living it all out in my head
So that you can find the one you really want
Happy new year little boy
Hope this day finds you deep inside someone you want
For all your precious joy
Hope this here finds you holding on to the one you want
I've been living it all out in my head so that you can find...
I've been working it all out in my head so that you can find...
I've been living it over in my head so that you can trust me now
I've been working it all out in my head so that you can leave me here alone
I've been working it all out in my head so that you can find someone you want
Someone you really need
So that you can find the one you really want


All These Things
Come on in
I need your hands to bring me down
If you walk right in
I have two tired hands to bring you round
And I could walk more easily if you were not my baby
All these things the morning brings me fade into the night
And if it's good enough
It's you I love for all these things and more
Stay, sleep could make things clear
So tired baby
Everything is clearer now
I could walk more easily if you were not my baby
All these things the morning brings me fade into the night
And if it's good enough
It's you I love for all these things and more
All these things and more
All these things and more
All these...all these...
And I could walk away
And I could walk more easily


Art of Conversation
You've been so so lost
At almost any cost
It takes you far from here
You just disappear
You've been so so lost
Without any cost
It takes you far from here
You just disappear
You know the art of conversation just gets lost on you
It's a meaningless intrusion to your day
It ties you up in foreign languages you thought you knew
The art of conversation just gets lost on you
The art of conversation just gets lost on you
It's a meaningless intrusion to your day
It ties you up in foreign languages you thought you knew
The art of conversation just gets lost on you
And you've been so so lost
At almost any cost
It takes you far from here
You just disappear
You've been gone
The art of conversation
The art of conversation just gets lost on you
It's a meaningless intrusion to your day
The art of conversation just gets lost on you
The art of conversation just gets lost on you


Little Heart
Whatever reason you came tumbling in my life
So good to have you that I never would have denied
Now that we breathe apart
I don't need to tell you
I keep breaking your little heart
I just keep breaking your little heart
I keep breaking your little heart
Don't want to be alone in this and I don't want to fall apart
No need to make this lonesome alibi
But I keep breaking your little heart
I just keep breaking your little heart
I keep breaking your little heart
Little heart... little heart
Don't want to be alone again
Don't want to fall apart
Though I don't mean to I just break your little heart
And I'll keep breaking your little heart
I will keep breaking your little heart
I keep breaking your little heart
Your little heart
Your little heart
Little heart... little heart
I keep breaking your little heart
I keep breaking...
I keep breaking your little heart
I keep breaking...


Andrew
You will do, what you do
Gotta go gotta have it
I'll just sit around, let everybody talk
And I will show, what I show
I cant help it, it's habit
I'll just sit around, let everybody talk
And if you thought I'd take your hurt away I'm sorry
And if you thought I'd make this feeling stay I'm Sorry
I'm so sorry
Stay where you are, you're not going, just leaving
I will sit around, let everybody talk
And they will say, what they know
They will end up believing
I will sit around, let everybody talk
And if you thought I'd take your hurt away I'm sorry
And if you thought I'd make this feeling stay I'm Sorry
Yeah I'm sorry
And if you thought I'd take your hurt away I'm sorry
And if you thought I'd make this feeling stay away
Away
So Long
BYE BYE

Holy
Why do you walk away from me?
What is it you don't want to see?
I hold you down and make you see these things you do to little me..
work like thalidomide
I will bleed you dry and make all your little evils mine
You're so holy
You will not be here till the end
You're not the one I will call friend
I'd like to drive a nail through this part of you that lets you do these things to little me
I will bleed you dry and make all your little evils mine
You're so holy holy holy holy holy
You're so holy

Now
I have come to hunt you down and drop you in the deepest ocean
And we have come to gather around and smother you in our devotion
I have come to crush your crown and watch you wearing my emotion
And we have come to throw you around and make you promise us that there will never be another one that's quite the same and good as you are now
Now Now Now
I have come to watch you grow and make you mend our minds together
And we have come to let you know that we will be your friends forever
And another month of Sundays
I have come to make you show me everything that you have hidden
We have come to make sure you don't do the things that we've forbidden
Everything will be alright if you remain the way that you are now
Now Now Now

Loaded
All is good in here tonight all across the water
All is cool and cool as light
We walk into the ocean
You have found me here tonight underneath the water
I am drowning you are right
We fall into the ocean
Fairly loaded, fairly low
It's only you and me tonight
We could walk on water
You are fading into light
We walk into the ocean now
Fairly loaded, fairly low
And all I ever have to see
And all I ever want to be
And all I ever really need is you
Fairly loaded, fairly low

Lydia
Am I surprised to see you here with Lydia?
She's oh so nice and easier to love than I
But no, I won't hold it against her
My baby, my baby don't you want me anymore?
Her arms are warm
Her legs are wide and so's her smile
She'll take you on where I would slap you down and hide
But no, I won't hold it against her
My baby, my baby don't you want me anymore?
My baby, my baby don't you need me anymore?
Your lips are cold
Your tongue's too tied to say goodbye
So take the time to reel me in and wash me out
But treat her right
And no, I won't hold it against her
Against her
My baby, my baby don't you want me anymore?
My baby, my baby don't you need me anymore?
Don't you want me?
Don't you need me?
Don't you love me?
Don't you love me anymore?

Hauling You Around
Sarah says her water's broken
But it's just the bottle opened up to let the liquid out and run the ink across this page of words, of love and offerings and all those other stupid things that I have kept inside although I should have told you years ago
And you won't even know...
Won't even notice that I'm hauling you around
Won't even know...
Won't even notice that I'm hauling you
When you speak are you listening?
This gibberish I spit and sing
Like silicon and carbonated water are the answer to the way I'm not sleeping and the dreams that I've been dreaming
And I think one day I'll wake up and I'll find myself in love with you
And you won't even know...
Won't even notice that I'm hauling you around
Won't even know...
Won't even notice that I'm hauling you around
Won't even know
Won't even notice
Sarah says the bottle's open
But I think her water's broken
I can see her baby coming down to chase the dogs away
And you, you're not listening
I knew that I should never sing
I think today I'll wake up just to find myself in love with you
Won't even know...
Won't even notice that I'm hauling you around

Not Your Girl
So you sailed across the ocean
Making plans to meet your family
Clutching packages of photographs of those you left behind you
And of those you left behind you
I'm the only one still waiting
For the photographs to find me
And the postcards to remind me
I'm not your girl
I'm not your baby now
This is your world
I did not let you down
So you're locked inside your cardboard
Waiting for the man to find you
He can save you from the sideboard table
Kill the lights that blind you
And you still can taste the boredom
Of the days you left behind you
You can hear the indecision that has followed you halfway across the world
I'm not your baby now
This is your world
I did not let you down
I'm not your girl
I'm not your baby now
This is your world
I did not let you down
I'm not your girl
I'm not the girl you left behind you
I'm not the flame you held inside you
It's not the world you used to live in
I'm not the one who needs forgiving

Spinning A Line
This room seemed so much bigger from outside
And this heart is not as cold as it was light
And you can't see it
This day has grown longer in my side
And this night, it is not long enough to hide
And you can't see it, you won't believe it
I'm spinning a line
This day, has grown longer in my side
And this night it is not long enough to hide
And you can't see it
You take so much more than I can give
And I failed to be enough for you to live
And you can't see it and you won't believe it
I'm spinning a line
You have won
You are so much more than me
And you've become more than I could hope to be
But you can't see it, you won't believe it
I'm spinning a line
You ought to know by now it's true

Two Days
Look at all my babies I have covered them with water
I've never found a better way, to make the children stay
Look at all my children, they are pissing in the water
And probably the neighbour's dog, will want to come and play with them for free
Too warm too far too much to say
Look at all my cutlery it's sunken in the water
I've broken all my dishes, cut my finger and it's bleeding now so free
Too warm too far too much to say
Now if you'd be my baby
I'd be proud to be your girlfriend
And maybe we'd get married
And I'd have to come and stay with you for free
Yeah I'd be free
But it's too warm too far too much to say
It's only been two days and I've forgotten what you look like

Brightest Star
Say goodbye
The girl you did adore her
Though you'd like to think you still could read her mind
So you find, your eyes are full of water
Creeping over to the places that you hide
Look around, you got yourself a daughter
Just the kind of girl who never crossed your mind
Close your eyes is something you have taught her
Brought her up to think like one of your own kind
Close your eyes, you got yourself a daughter
Caught her underneath the stair behind the wall
Say goodbye is what you taught
You thought you ought to take away her pride before she falls
So we wonder what you would have done if you had seen just what she would be
She never will be what you think she should be
And if you had known that she would go this far
You would not have shot the brightest star
Open wide, she's sposed to take it easy
Taking anything she can to make her high
You and I are faces in a gallery
Anonymous behind acrylic smiles
Take it in and pull it out again
You'll never see, just what she would be
She never will be what you think she should be
And if you had known that she would go this far
You would not have shot the brightest star
Say goodbye, you got yourself a daughter
Brought her up to think like one of your own kind
Close your eyes, there's something you have taught her
Close your eyes, there's something you have taught her

Short Way To Fall
You've been gathering sweet chocolate troubles and saving them up for a joke
You've been hoarding them under your pillow in a wine bottle, empty and broke
You can smile with the liars and losers
Whether you find it funny or not
You can laugh at the blind and the broken
With all of the colours you've got
So you drop this candy coated rage
Through the neck of the bottle
And it's a short way to fall, a short way to fall, a short way to fall to the top
I caught you counting your hurt in the sunshine
Look how the colours they sing
It's hard not to hide them, to revel in selfness
When hurt is a beautiful thing
So you drop this candy coated rage
Through the neck of the bottle
And it's a short way to fall, a short way to fall, a short way to fall to the top
You can laugh at the hapless and hopeless
Look how you're laughing at me
I've been dying to shatter your bottle
And it's a short way to fall
It's a short way to fall to the top

Man In A Box
I keep a man inside a box under my bed
My mother says I dream too much
I take the man out and listen close to what he says
He says I do not dream enough
I hear my mother in the hall outside my doorway
She's come to say I talk too much
I put the man back in the box under my bed
I'm not the only one who argues with the woman in me
Just no one hears the other voices
I'm not the only one who disagrees with everything
I keep a man inside a box under my bed
My father says I love too hard
I take the man out and let him oscillate my head
He does not think my love is good
I watch my father walking silent past my doorway
I hide the man behind my back
And all the while he's blowing kisses down my spine
I'm not the only one who loves to feel the woman in me
Just no one sees the other fingers
I'm not the only one who disagrees with everything
Go on and take it come and take these tiny thoughts away
I never use them they were never mine were they
Go on and take it come and wash these dirty thoughts away
I never use them they were never mine
I'd like this man I keep inside the box, under my bed to climb out come lie down here beside me
And I'd like to feel his fingers warm upon my neck
Go on and take it come and take these tiny thoughts away
I never use them they were never mine were they
Go on and take it come and wash these dirty thoughts away
I never use them they were never mine
Go on and take them
Wash these away
La la la la la la la la la la la...

Bottles And Jars
I am twisting all the dials
And I'm tweaking all the buttons
And I'm sure that pretty soon
Pretty soon all of a sudden
It will hit me why I'm here
What I came for
Why I'm leaving
Why you're gone
Why you're gone
Why you're going
Wwhy your gone
I am dipping both my feet into the waters of both rivers
Under both sides of this bridge that I have built to sit and think on
I have built from bank to bank
I have built to sit and think on, sit and think on
Think of you
Think of you sometimes
Mmmmmm....
I am pacing up the corridor
And pacing down the hallway
I am pacing in the kitchen
In the bathroom
Through the doorway of my bedroom
Past the living room
I cannot pass the front gate
Till it happens, till it happens
Something has to happen
I am hammering the seconds on the table with my pencil
And my feet dissect the minutes through the hours
And the calendar you gave me I have shredded page from page
Day from day from page from day
I cannot breathe for fear of failing
I cannot see for all these bottles full of nervous words and jars of lame excuses
These bottles full of nervous words and jars of lame excuses
These bottles and jars of lame excuses
Bottles and jars of lame excuses
These bottles and jars of lame excuses

Hand On An Anchor
We came home early hoping to catch you unaware
A little cautious but we've always had too much care
Hand on an anchor
A weight on the world
Hand on an anchor
You've been so tired lately
Your skin takes you nowhere
We wonder what it is
Keeps you awake and out there
Hand on an anchor
A weight on the world
Hand on an anchor
Your weight in gold
Hand on an anchor
Your weight in gold
Your optimism called to say it's out til Sunday
Your disappointment shuffles off to meet you half way
Somewhere along the line you fall
Hand on an anchor
A weight on the world
Hand on an anchor
Your weight in gold
Hand on an anchor
Your weight on the world
Hand on an anchor
Your weight in gold

Long Distance Runner
I can't see you
Anymore
When you go too far
When you go too far
I don't know you
Anymore
When you move too fast
When you move too fast
Hurry back
Don't look back
Run away
I don't need you
Anymore
When you look too hard
When you look too hard
Hurry back
Don't look back
Run away
Hurry back
Don't look back
Run away
I don't need you
I don't know you
I can't see you
Anymore
Hurry back
Don't look back
Run away
Hurry back
Don't look back
Run away

Hidden Agenda
This is so uncomfortable
Another silent slide
All your friends are beautiful
You live a lipstick lie
You've got your own agenda
You got your reasons why
You've got a hidden agenda
A little late this time
This is not unusual
Given the trait you pride
You hit full steam and you're invincible
Another landslide
I've got my own agenda
I got my reasons why
I got a hidden agenda
I'll make it right this time
Hit full steam you're gonna be invincible

The Way to Breathe
I want to remember
The way to breathe
I'm yet to discover
The air is clear
So stand and deliver
You have no place here
I'm breaking my cover
I'm rushing clear
Black days in December
My greatest fear
So stand and deliver
You have no grace here
Whoo hoo...
Ahh haa...
I want to remember
My greatest fear
Is how much I'll miss you
So stand and deliver
You have no place here

Dominoes
Is this the way that you let me know?
Is this the side that you want to show?
It's not too far to let you go if I'm to know
It's just the way that we fall down like dominoes
Can you decide what you want to see?
When you believe only bits of me
It's not too hard to be needing me so easily
It's just the way that we fall down like dominoes
That we fall down like dominoes
That we fall down like dominoes
And if you fall out I will haul you in
I will rescue you, your heroine
I will try to make you mine if it's easier this time
And if i'm to blame will you let me know?
I found a way to let it go
It's not the same when you let it show a touch too slow
It's just the way that we fall down like dominoes
That we fall down like dominoes
That we fall down like dominoes
When we fall down like dominoes
When we fall down like dominoes
When we fall down like dominoes

All The People
I keep one fingernail victim to every angry word I will not say
I keep my finger locked in prison
I think i'm sorry but then sometimes things just have to feel this way
I'd like to keep you in my pocket
I'd like to wrap you in my safety net
I'd like to think that you could hack it
I'd like to change your mind for all the things you think you might regret
And all the people move too slow
And half of them already know
And everybody moves too slow for me
I'd like to think you were my hero
I'd like to know that you could save my day
I'd like to treat you like my puppet
I'd like to pull your strings i'll cut them down and slowly walk away
And all the people move too slow
And half of them already know
And everybody goes too slow for me

Beautiful
You're so beautiful
You're simply divine
And wasn't God good to me when he made you mine?
Your touch makes me shiver
Your smile makes me crawl
Your nothing is better than my simply all
You bring rain and sun when everything's gone
You bring rain and sun when I feel I'm alone
You are the rain and sun
I still feel I'm dreaming when I see you inside me
I'm just a nowhere with nothing too complex to hide
I die when you smile at me, but I want you to see
I've always been nothing without you
Now you're nothing with me
You bring rain and sun when everything's gone
You bring rain and sun when I feel I'm alone
You are the rain and sun
You are rain and sun
You are the best thing that's happened to me since I fell on my face on Tuesday
And this is exactly where I want to be
When I'm home and holding, holding on
When I'm holding on, I'm holding on
You're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
You're so beautiful

The Lover
Was it not heard enough to feel?
Was it not cage enough to hold your head inside?
You will not find me waiting
You will not see me smile
This is the lover that you left me for I hope you're happy too
Was it not hell enough to burn?
Was it not smoke enough to suffocate you?
I won't be waiting for you
I will be hiding from you
This is the lover that I left you for I hope you're happy too
Was it not gold enough to steal?
Was it not steel enough to make you want to hold your head inside and cry?
We can't afford to go the distance
We can't afford to go
This is the lover that you left me for
This is the lover that you left me for


Boiler Room
I felt it
I hated it
I wrote it down to tell you later
I lost it, this feeling
I wrote upon that piece of paper
I felt it
I loved it
I whispered it
I was elated
You talked and you missed it
You idiot
You think I hate it
Come and play in my boiler room
I'll turn the heat up and make you feel like I do
I'll make you feel like I do
My boiler room has everything I need to make me feel better
My boiler room has everything I need to feel
My boiler room has everything I need to need to make me feel better
My boiler room
I felt it
It hurt me
I wrote a song to make you sorry
You loved it
This song now
You've gone and missed the point completely
Well come and play in my boiler room
Turn the heat up and make you feel like I do
I'll make you feel like I do
My boiler room has everything I need to make me feel better
My boiler room has everything I need to feel
My boiler room has everything I need to make me feel better
My boiler room
I felt it
I loved it
I wrote it
And I lost it
My boiler room has everything I need to make me feel better
My boiler room has everything I need to feel
My boiler room has everything I need to make me feel better
My boiler room


Fall
You walk, you talk, you breathe, you sing
You cry, but I could never bring myself to try and make it easy on you, better for you
You hurt, you laugh, you leave, you lie
You crawl, but I could never try to find a way to make it easy on you, better for you
You always come around
You're falling down and trying to let it go
You only hang around to fall me down
But I could never try to make it easier on you
You hurt, you beg, you breathe your laugh
You cry, but it is not enough for me to want to take it easy on you, better for you
You beg, you crawl, you sleep, you run
You stall, when I have just begun to find a way to make it easy on you, better for you
You always come around
You're falling down and trying to let it go
You only hang around to fall me down
But I could never try to make it easier on you
You fall me down
Follow me down
You only had to make it around
Follow it through so you can hide
And I try
I try
You always come around
You're falling down and trying to let it go
You only hang around to fall me down
But I could never try to make it easier on you
To make it easier on, easier on you


Why (from 27/10/01 Starlight Ballroom)
You can always find me here
I'm never going anywhere
So come on in and try to change this girl
Sick and tired of being hated
Want to be appreciated
Come on in and try to save this girl
So why do you lie?
You have never been that good to me
You know you should go
But you've never looked so good to me
In and out of windows
When the door is still wide open
Wont you come on in and try to save this girl?
I could leave the key under the door mat on the outside
If you come around and try to save this girl
So why do you lie?
You have never been that good to me
You know you should go
But you never looked so good to me
da da da da da da...... You can always find me here...
So why do you lie...
Poor little me


Just Like You
Because, because I don't think like you do
Because, because I don't act like you do
Do you think it matters ?
Do you think it really matters?
Because , because I don't want to be here
Because, because I don't want to stay here
Do you think it matters?
Do you think it really matters?
Do you think it matters?
Do you think it really matters?
I hope you'll find one day aligned between your day, and my night
This time, this time I will go my own
This time, this time I will think what you say
And do you think it matters?
Do you think it really matters?
Do you think it matters?
Do you think it really matters?
When I grow up to be a man like you are maybe then you can say 'I told you so'
If I grow up to be the man that you are maybe then i will say that you knew better
But do you think it really matters?
I hope I grow up just like you …

Counting Upside Down
Daddy won't like this discussion
I think he might find it too much when he sees what you want to be
Something you won't tell your sister
What she don't know she won't miss when they see what you want to be
See what you could have been
Baby won't live with her mama
Still she does better than some when they see what you want to be
You can trade tongues with your brother
It's better than losing your lover when they see what you wanna be
See what you could have been
No way to please her
She goes where you lead her
Some days you tease her
But she's counting them upside down
Janie leaves you out of pocket
And she's no good for your confidence
You can do better than this one
Having your palm read in Russian will not see what you want to see
See what you should've been
No way to please her
She goes where you lead her
Some days you tease her
But she's counting them upside down
Daddy won't like this decision
You're gonna be causing some friction
All of your records are broken
It doesn't say much for your confidence
No way to please her
She goes where you lead her
Some days you tease her
No way to please her
No way to please her
She goes where you lead her
Some days you tease her
But she's counting them upside down

Weather Man
Somebody just pulled the plug on my weatherman
He wasn't too bright
But then neither was I
Somebody just stole my weatherproof gentleman
Left all the clouds in the sky
He was a kind man who always stood up for me
Never gave reason to dream he would lie
Always intriguing and never showed apathy
Never brought a tear to my eye
It might be nice
If you'll be my weatherman
Take me in far away from the cold
As it is you are no more than criminal
Always losing control
It might be nice
If you'll be my weatherman
Fill my mouth with the right words to say
I was always the girl who would talk to much,
Always running away
Somebody just pulled the plug on my weatherman

The Freak Show
When the circus rolled in to here all the people came running
And you being blind little you, followed on with your money
There were lions and tigers and juggling bears
And bald headed clowns, with their big stupid ears
And a freak show
Tucked away in the corner
So you joined the straggling queue veering off to the left
And you handed your fistful of hope to the man in the tight red vest
But he clutched at your arms
He wouldn't let go, you were scared as he spoke
'I think that I know you..There's a look in your eyes says you think you've been lonely lately lonely lately.'
'Step a little closer' he says, 'I've got something to show you'
As he pulled back the curtain you gasped at the horror before you
He cried 'This ones an Iron man and this ones a midget
This one's got nine pairs of hands with 12 fingers that can pull back your eyelids to see if you've really been lonely lately.
Are you lonely and have you been lonely lately? We're so lonely lonely"


These Days
As far as you see I am fine
As far as you know I am nothing
I’m not anything
It’s not a case of being blind
It’s not your fault that I’m not anything
Just as long as you notice that
These are the days
I’m ashamed
I can never make it through without it
You know its true
You love it too
And I will never make it through without you
I tried to drink you off my mind
I tried so hard that I felt nothing
Forgot everything
And just to kick you from my hide
And just to get you
I’d do anything
Just as long as you notice that
These are the days
I’m ashamed
I can never make it through without it
You know its true
You love it too
And I will never make it through without you
Cause I give it all for nothing
But I don’t know
Just how far I’ll go
These are the days
I’m ashamed
I can never make it through without it
You know its true
You love it too
And I will never make it through without
These are days
I can never make it through without
You know its true
I will never make it through without you
Never make it through without you
I could never make it through without you
These are days
These are days

Easy
It's only the day I thought you should know
It's not the kind of thing that you can control
I need an angle on the state of your soul
You move into this place and let me know
How you gonna wait for the man to be so easy
How you gonna speak your demands if he's not listening?
You want him to be easy... so easy
It's all those little things that you do so well
This love was built for you and only to wind you up
But you could never be alone by yourself
I think I'd like it here
How you gonna wait for the man to be so easy?
How you gonna speak your demands if he's not listening?
You want it to be easy... so easy
Bring back my heart and go
How you gonna wait for the man to be so easy?
How you gonna speak your demands if he's not listening?
You want it to be easy... so easy...

Rocket (demo)
So you wanna put a rocket inside my head
How about I take a look into yours instead?
All those evil little girls they taunt you
And all your favourite ghosts still come back and haunt you
Take the world on at a pace that could break your neck
It's such a pity that you only run in circles
You rip your heart out and they throw it back to you
And every slur is like a hammer right through you
So pick a simple colour, wear it on the outside
Take a minute to decide whose side you're on
Take a second, take a ride, take it over
Those convoluted ideas of your own
It don't matter anyway, you're going nowhere
So correlate and televise your story
At any moment they'll delete your glory
I guess it should better than a light on the outside
Kick me outta me
Blow it all apart
I think we'd rather be enemies making this hard
Lock you into you
Cover your cause
Don't say anything, everything's breaking this heart
So you wanna put a rocket into my head
So you wanna put a rocket in my head
Kick me outta me
Blow it all apart
I think we'd rather be enemies making this hard
Lock you into you
Cover your cause
Don't say anything, everything's breaking this heart
Everything's falling apart
You and me we've always been so ordinary
Just like me you'll never be more than ordinary

A Fine Lie
If everything I ever loved was wicked as you are
And all I'd have to do to stay alive
Is tell this fickle instrument I think I call my heart
A lie... a lie
You know that every word you say just buries me alive
Beneath the weight of fictionary lies
And every little fib you tell still punches me inside
Cuts me wide
Say goodbye. Say bye bye. Say bye bye
I know the way your cheap bravado only makes you cruel
And masks the brittle beating of your heart
And if I was more cooperative I guess we'd still be fine
Still a fine fine lie
Say goodbye. Say bye bye
Wont you say goodbye? Say goodbye
Darling say goodbye. Say goodbye
It's a fine fine lie. A fine fine lie
If everything I've ever held was wicked as you are
And all I'd have to do to stay alive
Is tell this useless organ I once used to call my heart
A fine fine lie
Say goodbye. Say bye bye. Say bye bye
Darling say goodbye. Say bye bye
Wont you say goodbye? Say bye bye
It's a fine fine lie
Such a fine fine lie
