Octopussy

Some bits of snow still hanging in the air but that's outside
Take off your clothes and lie down over there, oh that's just right
I sat by this window and just watched for you, you weren't late
There was a thousand things I had to do, they can all wait

You don't take away my hand, like you ought to
You've become my family
I don't want to understand why I need you
You've just become my family

I lay down there and watch you getting dressed, it's still so clear
You laughed and pulled your knees up to your chest if I came near
God knows I've always had to fear the worst but not that time
You brought me home and then you kissed me first and you were all mine

You don't take away my hand, like you ought to
You've become my family
I don't want to understand why I need you
You've just become my family

We don't have to do anything
We don't have to do anything except watch the leaves
Turning in the wind
Say what you want to say
We don't have to go anywhere
We don't have to go anywhere,

Let's just sit and talk about the usual things
I couldn't move anyway

On/Off

Do want me to plead? Why won't you answer my letter?
Or just return my call 'cos that is all I need
And it would make me feel better
You're just being mean, hiding behind the machine

Have I been tossed away? It's been days since we've spoken
I guessing we're drifting apart
People say that to have your heart broken
Is easier than breaking someone's heart

But they're wrong and anybody who thinks that
Isn't the one left alone here, not sat waiting by the phone
I'm being strong, you know I've always been like that
But this is bad comedy, why won't you just speak to me?

Have I been tossed away? It's been days since we've spoken
I guessing we're drifting apart
People say that to have your heart broken
Is easier than breaking someone’s heart

Once More

A gang of thieves, somebody leaves; I swear I heard laughter
An empty gloom and some forbidden room and a window to shatter

And does your heart begin to fail when the moment gets closer?
You always turn the other way but it doesn't really matter at all
It doesn't really matter at all, oh no

A crashing blow, does somebody know?
They must've heard my heart beating
And we're in tonight but there'll be a fight
Can you tell what I'm thinking?

And does your heart begin to fail when the moment gets closer?
You always turn the other way but it doesn't really matter at all
It doesn't really matter at all, oh no

Once more
Oh I know that I've said this before
Oh but this time I'm changing for sure
Just let me go out there

Once more
Once more

Once more
Oh I know that I've said this before
Oh but this time I'm changing for sure
Just let me go out there

Oh just let me go out there again
Oh just let me go out there again
Oh once more, just let me go out there once more
Once more

One Day This Will All Be Yours

And they were left all alone
On that fateful day the budgie had a stroke
1940's bliss
How could it come to this?

Forgotten things they once knew
And now there's really only one thing left to do
But I think that I'm more scared
Because this country doesn't care

And one day this will all be yours
And one day this will all be yours
And one day this will all be yours

But there were bluer skies
When you were just a twinkle in our eyes
Oh but you don't have to stay
But thank you anyway
