Friday Downday 04:33

My God, call the cops And you make your own medicine Hit me with a discount I've not heard the end of this Crashing like the automobile Money goes under the wheel Uncle got a four-legged dog Sold it to keep his business afloat Sell your bonds and medicine And run off with another chancer Trees are growing in Detroit Nature's taking back it's children Tree's are growing in Detroit Nature's taking back it's children Crashing like the automobile Money goes under the wheel Money comes and money goes, it's never really there Credit card pollution corrupts the innocent and fair Friday Downday Another week has gone It's alright if you are working But I'm not and never was Downwards Friday Filing out of school Catching the bus in the sunlight With children throwing paper down the isles If you're in need of some reality There's a time when you can walk Stourbridge road with me If you're in need of some reality There's a time when you can walk Stourbridge road with me If you're in need of some reality There's a time when you can walk Stourbridge road with me She cries of a Friday

Middlesex (radio edit) 04:52

Poking around in hospital gowns They say that I am a boy, They say that I am a girl But it means so very little to me Little little meaning to me Yeah we made it and we really really made it I know I grow much slower than the other girls To think I tricked you in the darkness of a snowstorm I know that when we’re older, we’ll see better days Poking around in hospital gowns They say that I am a boy, They say that I am a girl But it means so very little to me Little little meaning to me What suits me best In these trials of Middlesex Looking out of my window At the whole white world below Like Emily, Emily Dickinson Her melancholic face on your T-shirt Sighing over your bulging chest I wish that things were better when I left I wish that I could see you again Your car sails over Michigan Searching for Middlesex Poking around in hospital gowns They say that I am a boy, They say that I am a girl But it means so very little to me Little little meaning to me What suits me best In these trials of Middlesex What suits me best In these trials of Middlesex Tonight I will be someone else Shining over your mermaid charm Without a clue, sleep in the grass tonight Find my way through this empty city Find my way back to Middlesex Poking around in hospital gowns They say that I am a boy, They say that I am a girl But it means so very little to me Little little meaning to me What suits me best In these trials of Middlesex What suits me best In these trials of Middlesex What suits me best In these trials of Middlesex What suits me best In these trials of Middlesex What suits me best In these trials of Middlesex What suits me best In these trials of Middlesex

Ambition 03:11
lyrics

Many of my friends Live in constant motion They decide where to hide To keep themselves alive And stop depression Many of my friends Flit from person to person But from the cradle to the grave All I really want is a little dedication You've got problems But you don't want to talk You've got problems Everything changes Everything's the same I heard you got a promotion And you're singing again You're still the same little boy that I knew back then But you drive a car and have facial hair When will I see you again Will I ever see you again, will I ever will I ever You've got problems But you don't want to talk You've got problems Got a huge house Though your bedroom's more of a cupboard Visitors will come So keep your diaries and poetry under covers Flavour of the day Is not to talk about ambition It's a novel it's a fiction It's a story that was written It's the truth You've got problems But you don't want to talk You've got problems

Forgotten 02:53
lyrics
buy track
It seems you always took me as a fool And behind you’re laughter there was nothing at all I know that times will change But I don’t want them to Seems that all I had was not enough for you Nothing worse than being alone in a crowd Voices carry, they don’t want you around Find a place where you can be alone Listen to your voice, it’s the only comforting sound But it won’t help because nothing fades away It just gets forgotten

Time Is To Blame 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Time is on top of it all And time is on top of it all And it grinds the earth as we walk And it watches us as we fall We all know that time’s to blame Time will ease your weary brain Time will take away this strain Well I lost my mind in the club And my heart started talking It said ‘Jack, what the hell you doing here? This is the time that you got You have got to be so free so you cannot be anybody else.’ And we all know that time’s to blame Time will ease your weary brain Time will take away this strain Time, oh why? And it’s written in the sky Burning at the end of time Dream of days left behind Forever lost in someone’s mind We all know that time’s to blame Time will ease your weary brain Time will take away this strain
