I cant help staring when you're hardly wearing a thing
Your lascivious mouth is full of smiles
Your laughter echoes off the bathroom tiles
With your pretty hands folded sweetly in your lap
You make such a tantalising trap
But who deserves your perfect curves and wiles?
Well, I can tell you now that it won't be me
Because my girlfriend's waiting patiently
And I have noticed that you're inclined to tease
So don't make this any harder for me please
Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?
You kissed me once and you got a response, and I know
After a kiss like that some men would leave their wife
But I don't want to destroy my life
Just because you look at me that way
It doesn't mean that I'm about to stay
But I can hardly believe
That I'm about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home
Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?
Of course I want to share your bed with you
But if I stay tonight I can never go home
But I can hardly believe
That I'm about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home
Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?
Oh I can hardly believe
That I'm about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home
Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?
Maniac
I did get your message
I just can't beleive you're doing this
What is wrong with you?
I told you, it's over. I am not coming back
More importantly, I just don't love you anymore
Can't you get that into your head?
And when I made that stupid oath
About how I was goint o
Pay for someone to kill you both
It was just my way of showing you
That I wasn't playing
Oh, yeah, you're right I sounded like a maniac
But that's just what I am saying
You'll only see how much I've changed if you come back
And when I threw out all your books
You know that wasn't planned
I know how terrible it looks
But you got to understand
It's just that they'd remind me
Of sleppy days and sleepness nights I spent with you
I tried to put it all behind me
I didn't realise how much I'm still in love with you
Oh please can't you drop this stance
And maybe give me one more chance
Just say what you want from me
Because, oh, I'd don anything to bring you back home
Oh, yeah, anything, just pick up the 'phone
Everyonr thinks that I look thin
Oh but I don't mind them
But these insects crawling on my skin
Why can I never find them?
The thought of you two screwing
Has turned me into some kind of a maniac
I really don't know what I'm doing
You'll only see how much I've changed if you come back
Oh, please, can't you drop this stance
And maybe give me one more chance
Just say what you want from me
Because, oh, I'd do anything to bring you back hom
Oh, yeah, anything, just pick up the 'phone
I'd do anything to bring you back home
Oh, yeah, anything, just pick up the 'phone
Lisa Prodromo on recording the intro: David sent it to me, said he wanted an American accent. He wanted me to call the studio and do it over the phone. I said yes, recorded it on my computer microphone, emailed it to him as a test, and that's what they used.
Mars Sparkles Down On Me
So yeah I've got my brand new girlfriend
And she's great in every way
And you've got your new lover there
So I guess we're both okay
And I know that we've been through this
And we have to be apart
But the thought of him lying in our bed with you
It still just breaks my heart
Mars sparkles down on me
You say he wants to meet me
Oh, I'm sure he's genuine
But how can I just shake his hand
When it's been all over your skin?
Mars sparkles down on me
I should stop calling on a whim but I won't
I know I really should consider him but I don't
Mars sparkles down on me
On me
On me
Me, Next
I was too scared to phone
In case you weren't alone
So I called up your best friend instead
Because I had to know
Oh, and when I asked her
If you two were
Still living together, she said:
"I don't think so"
And please don't think that I'm suggesting you're over-sexed
But if he's really gone
Oh please, can I be the next?
Let me be the next
And if you really knew
How much I'd worshipped you
Right from the first time we spoke
Would you have relented?
But all those looks we'd share
When he wasn't there
Do you think that was all just a joke?
Oh well I meant it
And please don't think that I'm suggesting you're over-sexed
But if he's really gone
Oh please, can I be the next?
Let me be the next
Please, can I be the next?
Let me be the next
Please, can I be the next?
Let me be the next
The air is so cold tonight
Here, let me put my arm around you
I've never seen you looking quite
So winsome
It feels like I'm sixteen again
Secret touches when nobody sees
And I don't even like champagne
But I'll drink some
Your skin is so cold to touch
Well, you know you'd be a whole lot warmer in my bed
Oh, have I just said too much?
Well, don't listen!
Explanations are not required
Just two bottles of St. Emilion
And your eyes do look very tired
But they still glisten
You're laughing at things I say
Then, suddenly, you're staring into space
I'd really like you to stay
Now I'm feeling bolder
But you're telling me little tales
And I think there are lots of things that I should know
Just keep running your fingernails
Across my shoulder
The phone's ringing at 3 a.m.
Well, if you know who it is, why don't you go?
It's because you don't want to speak to them
While I am near you
And I know where you want to be
You're in my hands but I just bet you'll slip away
You'll trickle like mercury
And I won't hear you
Do-do, tonight I'll do just what you say
Do-do, tomorrow is another day
You don't have to tell me anything
I won't make you tell me anything
Model, Actress, Whatever
When I stare at you (OK, it’s just a jpeg (I have a
few)) But when I scrutinise your face I don’t see a
picture, I see a hiding place
As you lay across that chair (Is that your bedroom?
Do you take photos in there? Did you realise just then how you’d be entrancing a
million men?
You’re above and beyond anyone I could meet; I’m
admitting defeat
I just hope whoever you choose to ensnare deserves to
be there
Because you have the most insanely beautiful eyes
And you’ll devour the world, the day they recognise
your awesome power
Meanwhile I’ll be here, still just watching
The most insanely beautiful eyes
And you’ll devour the world, the day they recognise
your awesome power

Montreal
You know I can't stop dreaming about you
I could never imagine life being without you
I count off the minutes just waiting for you to appear
But what's funny is this was day that I chose to
Ask you to live with me, oh, wait, I suppose you
Already suspected the reason I invited you here
Because you just said: "No
I've got somewhere else to go
And the plans I've made
Don't include you, I'm afraid"
And that's all that you would say
I still can't bring myself to accept what you've told me
I feel so dead inside, oh, won't you just hold me?
How can you believe that these weeks just mean nothing at all?
You just said "Thanks, but no"
You made your mind up long ago
You didn't even ask for time
To think about just why I'm
So desperate for you to stay
Because you're going to leave me anyway
Well just give me a call
When you reach Montreal
At least I'll know you're there
You know I can't stop dreaming about you
I can't imagine life being without you
You know I can't stop dreaming about you
I can't imagine how
You could just say "Thanks, no
I've got somewhere else to go
And the plans I've made
Don't include you, I'm afraid"
I really wish that you could stay
But I guess your 'plane leaves any day
Well just give me a call
When it lands in Montreal
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
I'll come back somehow
Because I love it when the sky is stormy
But I've got to leave right now
Before she comes round here looking for me
(What are you scared of now? )
Okay, I'll show you what she'll do if she finds out that I've been underhand
Kiss kiss bang bang
You don't need to call
Because I know that you don't really love me
Oh I don't mind at all
You're just the female version of me
(What are you scared of now? )
Okay, I'll show you what she'll do if she finds out that I've been underhand
Kiss kiss bang bang
Okay, I'll show you what she'll do if she finds out that I've been underhand
Kiss kiss bang bang
My Favourite Dress
Sometimes, these words just don't have to be said
I know how you both feel; the heart can rule the head
Jealousy is an essential part of love
The hurting here below and the emptiness above
There's always something left behind
There's always something left behind
Never mind, oh, never mind
The tender caresses that bring out the man
I can't still be drunk at five
Oh, I guess I surely can
Slowly your beauty is eaten away by the scent of someone else in the blanket where we lay
There's always something left behind
There's always something left behind
Maybe next time
Uneaten meals
A lonely star
A welcome ride in a neighbour's car
A long walk home
The pouring rain
I fell asleep when you never came
Some rare delight in Manchester town
It took six hours before you let me down
To see it all in a drunken kiss
A stranger's hand on my favourite dress, oh
That was my favourite dress, you know
That was my favourite dress
