Intoxicated

So I'll wake up to the smell of your perfume,
As the morning light bursts in through the curtains.
Stuck in limelight, trying to get my mind right.
Head still spinning to the pattern of the stage lights, now.
We've gotta get a grip,
Cos every other night seems to end up like this.
Not that I'm complaining, girl I'm only saying,
Don't you want a jacket when the weather's like this?
Now I'm - chasing the last bus home,
Should've been back an hour ago.
Lost track of time keeping you upright darling.
Your makeup smeared all over my cheeks, I'm too high to go to sleep.
I've got a feeling this ain't a one night thing.
'Cos I'm - Intoxicated by the vodka in your eyes
And the - warm taste of rum and coke that glistens in your smile.
I don't - care 'bout the stories 'cos I can't be arsed to read
So let's just - spend the moment like we haven't got next week.
Still I'm getting home late, killing hours on my phone,
Waiting for a text from you saying that you're home.
But it's never gonna come through, though I know you're home true,
'Cos you passed out on the sofa in your front room.
You're not like no other girl,
Lost up in your drunken world.
But I love it baby.
Yet again I'm - chasing the last bus home,
Should've been back an hour ago.
Lost track of time keeping you upright darling.
Your makeup smeared all over my cheeks, I'm too high to go to sleep.
I've got a feeling this ain't a one night thing.
'Cos I'm - Intoxicated by the vodka in your eyes
And the - warm taste of rum and coke that glistens in your smile.
I don't - care 'bout the stories 'cos I can't be arsed to read
So let's just - spend the moment like we haven't got next week.
I don't wanna leave this moment,
Chilling at the bus stop, kissing at the bus stop
And I just wanna stay here in this moment,
Chilling at the bus stop, praying that the bus stops.
Cos yet again I'm - chasing the last bus home,
Should've been back an hour ago.
Lost track of time keeping you upright darling.
Your makeup smeared all over my cheeks, I'm too high to go to sleep.
I've got a feeling this ain't a one night thing.
'Cos I'm - Intoxicated by the vodka in your eyes
And the - warm taste of rum and coke that glistens in your smile.
I don't - care 'bout the stories 'cos I can't be arsed to read
So let's just - spend the moment like we haven't got next week.

Ugly When You Lie
05:19

Bloodstains and lipstick marks scarred upon the wall.
Shattered glass and pillows on the floor to break your fall.
You're holding back the tears, I'm holding back the punches.
It's better if we go our separate ways.
Flowers in your hand and a knife behind your back.
Full speed ahead but we're coming off the track.
It's just as hard for me to turn and leave it all behind.
It's better if we walk away.
When it's good it's incredible, and I never want to leave your side.
But it's always bad, I'm in the cross-hairs with nowhere to hide.
(now now now)
You tell me you hate me, but then you say maybe
That you wanna start it out again.
I must be crazy for thinking you'd save me
When you just tear me up every time.
You sleep around the town, but I'm the unfaithful one?
I just can't seem to work it out.
So don't say that you love me, cos darling you don't see
That you look ugly when lie.
Your face is white as snow but your heart is blue and black.
Your grace out the door, it's not coming back.
I've tried so hard but I just can't make it work.
Girl I'm leaving you.
When it's good it's incredible, and I never want to leave your side.
But for too long it's bad, I'm in the cross-hairs with nowhere to hide.
(now now now)
You tell me you hate me, but then you say maybe
That you wanna start it out again.
I must be crazy for thinking you'd save me
When you just tear me up every time.
You sleep around the town, but I'm the unfaithful one?
I just can't seem to work it out.
So don't say that you love me, cos darling you don't see
That you look ugly when lie.
You say that I've changed, and that's as maybe
But you never have. I hate you this way.
I try to move on but you keep on pulling my back every time
It's like I - never get a word in, and it's hurting all the time.
How did I get so convinced that I need you?
You tell me you hate me, but then you say maybe
That you wanna start it out again.
I must be crazy for thinking you'd save me
When you just tear me up every time.
You sleep around the town, but I'm the unfaithful one?
I just can't seem to work it out.
So don't say that you love me, cos darling you don't see
That you look ugly when lie.

Both Sides of The Fence
04:13

I fear the romance is dead. All delivered but nothing is read.
Took a shot to the head. All the words but nothing is said.
I ain't got time for this, I've got too many circles myself.
Time to get over it and get under somebody else.
You thought that it was perfect, thought that is was worth it, thought the you were falling in love again.
It brought you down to Earth, you said it didn't hurt but now you won't be falling in love again.
I apologize for missing out the lies, I guess I thought that things would change.
But old habits die hard, even a disciple astray can be led.
But don't go blaming me for this.
'Cos I don't want to know if you ain't got the time,
I'm sick of all the pussyfooting just to walk the line.
If someone's got a problem, how I am the only one to know?
You tell me that it's over, then you wanna start again.
Sounding like a broken record, I just want the end of this.
Looking for a reason but I can't seem to make a defense - of both sides of the fence.
Retreat to ghosts of the past to keep away from the glass, but soon you're pouring it out again.
Wait on the feeling to pass, to heal the cuts on your heart, but though it's over, the scars remain.
You keep it on the low but everybody knows, it's written all over your face.
Loving in the fast lane, trying to keep control but you're losing the pace.
But don't go blaming me for this.
'Cos I don't want to know if you ain't got the time,
I'm sick of all the pussyfooting just to walk the line.
If someone's got a problem, how I am the only one to know?
You tell me that it's over, then you wanna start again.
Sounding like a broken record, I just want the end of this.
Looking for a reason but I can't seem to make a defense - of both sides of the fence.
It's got to end.
Going round acting like cupid's your best friend.
I'm called to mend,
But I'm wasting my time on nothing let's not pretend.
'Cos I don't want to know if you ain't got the time,
I'm sick of all the pussyfooting just to walk the line.
If someone's got a problem, how I am the only one to know?
You tell me that it's over, then you wanna start again.
Sounding like a broken record, I just want the end of this.
Looking for a reason but I can't seem to make a defense - of both sides of the fence.

I'll Be There Be There

All I ever wanted was something beautiful.
All I ever wanted was someone like you.
All I ever wanted was someone to share the load.
All I ever wanted was someone to walk this road with me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh (x2)
All I ever wanted was someone by my side.
Someone special, someone like you.
All I ever wanted was someone to hold me tight.
All I ever wanted was someone to shine a light on me.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh (x2)
Though it's dark outside and the city's asleep,
I'll walk you home and in my arms I'll keep you safe.
I've got nowhere to go, got no place to be
I'll stay with you darling as long as you need me, 'cos
I'll be there for you (x2)
All I said I needed was this old guitar.
All I said I needed was my song.
But it gets kinda lonely with just my one heart beating (la la la la la)
To sing in harmony, it takes two, it takes me and you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh (x2)
Though it's dark outside and the city's asleep,
I'll walk you home and in my arms I'll keep you safe.
I've got nowhere to go, got no place to be
I'll stay with you darling as long as you need me, 'cos
I'll be there for you (x2)
You are my barrier, you are my only wall.
I need you by my side, with you I stand so tall.
You are my rhythm girl, you're the reason I sing.
I'll be your melody, 'cos I know you know that
'Cos I'll be there for you every day of my life.
Yes I'll be there for you through every strife.
Yes I'll be there no no I will be there
Yes I'll be there no no I will be there
oo woah oh - oo woah oh - oo woah oh oh - oo woah oh (x4)

Talk To Me
03:58

I'm faded, four shots of tequila down, going in deeper now.
Into your space, and the look on your face,
Sends me to a paradise, thrills of a Friday night at home.
You're wasted, saying sh*t that you never say, giving it all away.
Losing the time, and this vodka and lime
It brings out the best in you, gotta confess to you baby.
No lights on, no clothes on,
No covers, just me, you and this dirty song.
Don't hold back, nobody's in.
I wanna feel your hands on my skin.
This club's getting dead, let's get home.
Coming down with a hot love syndrome.
I'm burning up, I need some relief and you've got what I need
So come give it to me.
We'll get lost in this moment of passion,
Making love on a drunken attraction.
I can't explain, but when it's going down I love the way you talk to me.
6am, rising early to start again, can't keep apart
And girl you're like a drug, I can't get enough,
I'm high on the feeling on my neck as you're breathing now baby.
Sweat dripping off as you're gripping my back, in love with this feeling.
But don't stop girl. You know I love to be close to you,
Getting to know you like this girl.
The heat is rising, my love you're exercising.
Girl it's alright, nobody's in.
I wanna feel your hands on my skin.
This club's getting dead, let's get home.
Coming down with a hot love syndrome.
I'm burning up, I need some relief and you've got what I need
So come give it to me.
We'll get lost in this moment of passion,
Making love on a drunken attraction.
I can't explain, but when it's going down I love the way you talk to me.
Drunk in love, don't fight the feeling girl.
Breathe in. Breathe out. I'll be your sexual healing girl.
When things get rough, just keep believing girl,
And wait on the climax, climax girl.
This club's getting dead, let's get home.
Coming down with a hot love syndrome.
I'm burning up, I need some relief and you've got what I need
So come give it to me.
We'll get lost in this moment of passion,
Making love on a drunken attraction.
I can't explain, but when it's going down I love the way you talk to me.
