Don't Take Me Home Until I'm Very Drunk

The heavens were alive with stars
She pointed out which one was Mars
Lying arm in arm against an old tree trunk
She used a phrase of Holly Golightly's
From Breakfast at Tiffany's
She said 'Don't take me home until I'm very drunk'

We talked about a second date
She said that meeting me was fate
And though I don't believe in that crap I said 'yes'
It was there where the night would end
But when we kissed I won't pretend
I still shook with apprehension I confess

And then I said
"I could fall in love with you"
But as I recall she said "I'd like you to"

And that little word was the warning sign
That little word meant she'd never be mine
As I discovered the next day
A text on my phone saying "I don't know whether
I mentioned him last night but I'm getting back together
With my old fiance
I'm sorry by the way"

When I think about that night
I wonder if perhaps I might
Not have done every single thing I could
But deep down I know I was blind
She just used me to make up her mind
But if I had to do it all again I would

And then I said
"I could fall in love with you"
But as I recall she said "I'd like you to"

I said
"I could fall in love with you"
But as I recall she said "I like you to"

Drink You, Eat  You

Number one of a  thousand reasons why I hope to God I'll never hear you say
goodbye is that  I depend on you too much to make all my cares just vanish with one  touch

Don't move an  inch
Don't break the  spell

I know I haven't  quite yet earned your undying love but I have learned that
whatever it is  I want to do, it just never seems worth doing without you

Don't move an  inch
Don't break the  spell
I could just sit  and watch you lying there just like that forever

And, darling, I  want to drink you, eat you, bittersweet you
And, yes, wherever  you go, you know I'll go too

Don't move an  inch
Don't break the  spell
I could just sit  and watch you lying there just like that forever
Don't move an  inch
Don't break the  spell
I could just sit  and watch you lying there just like that forever

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 will devour the world, the day  they recognise your awesome power
Meanwhile I'll be  here, still just watching
Oh,  the most insanely beautiful eyes
And  you will devour the world, the day  they recognise your awesome power

I Lost The Monkey

No, I don't know why
Well I was feeling hurt and so I annoyed you
Making up reasons to avoid you
But now that all just seems so immature

Because I just want you back
This has all been a mistake
I didn’t know what was at stake
I was playing, some kind of senseless game
Oh, you don't need to tell me how I've lost the monkey now

Now I discover you've found yourself a young new lover
Well did I mention that that was never my intention?
Here's my confession: I was just teaching you a lesson
Did you see through me?
Because instead of running back here to me, you just said:
"OK, if that's what you really want"

No, I just want you back
This has all been a mistake
I didn't know what was at stake
I was playing, some kind of senseless game
Oh, you don't need to tell me how I’ve lost the monkey now

No Soup For You

She can't believe that's the fourth bottle he's uncorking
He can't believe that they've just wasted another hour talking
He pours more wine into her cup and together they watch the sun come up
And then he says: "I'll love you if you let me"
And she says: "But, baby, you've only just met me!"
Touching, laughing, flirting, dreaming, but inside there's a voice
That's screaming

No soup for you, no soup for you, no soup for you, no soup for you
No soup for you, no soup for you, no soup for you, no soup for you

He says: "Don't wake up, but I have to be somewhere else today"
And still wearing make up she watches as he walks away
And although he's managed to enthral her she already knows that he will
Never call her

No soup for you, no soup for you, no soup for you, no soup for you
No soup for you, no soup for you, no soup for you, no soup for you

The Thing I Like Best About Him Is His Girlfriend

(male)
It's been in my head, but I've never said anything to you before
And, to simplify, well, I've been living a lie but I can't lie anymore

So I'm going out here on a limb, I don't want to pretend
Because the thing I like best about him is his lovely girlfriend

(female)
I was fine until this all unfurled and, yes, I'm wild about you
But  you're asking me to change my world and that's not something I can  do

(male)
I didn't intend to steal my friend's girlfriend
But then, well, is it theft when we both know that I would treat you so
Much better if you left?
I didn't intend to steal my friend's girl

(female)
I  though that this was all just in my head, sure, it's  appreciated
But  if he heard what you just said, he'd be completely devastated
I was fine until this all unfurled and, yes, I'm wild about you
But  you're asking me to change my world and that's not something I can  do

(male)
I'm not making this up on a whim, believe me, I know it's  wrong
I went to all those boring things with him just in case you came  along

I've tried so long to find a girl like you and all the time you were right here near  me
I know you say he loves you too, but, oh, you've got to hear me
So I'm going out here on a limb, I don't want to pretend
Because  the thing I like best about him is his lovely girlfriend

(female)
Why didn't you say that you felt this way this is all just too surreal
Well, yes it's true, that I've thought about you, but it all seemed quite unreal
But  I'm going to need time, because right now I'm not quite sure how I  feel

(male)
How long have you  known that he felt this way? Please stay
