Leading Man

There was one thing left
for me to say to you
it’s that I understand
Mama sometimes
you have to take a man by his hand
and give him a baby and be his mother
We were crazy to think there was anything else
So
one two, buckle my shoe
three four, don’t wanna hurt anymore
and everything that you said
is in the back of my head
waiting for a chance to get out
but something’s tripping me up
And it’s been a long time
since the feeling was untied
to a happiness bled
from a leading man
(Horn solo)
So hold me Daddy
in a loving way
‘cause there’s such as thing
as too much fun
yeah
(Horn solo)
And it’s been a long time
since the feeling was untied
to the happiness bled
from a leading man
Been a long time
since the feeling was untied
to the happiness bled
from a leading man

A Little Love
04:37

There I was
looking for something else
high were the marks we sought
it was a leap of faith
I felt like passing out
there was no fascination left
but it felt good to get out
and push my flesh against
this vital ghost of a chance
no I can’t host
but I’ll dance away the doubt
For a little love
(for sake of argument)
talking to the driver about love
the pictures of his kids come out
his doting wife at home
he cranes his head around and says:
“What’s your name?”
This dress
was made for someone else
fine were the lines and cuts
but the bones of love
were hard to choke out
head full of blood
but I digress
I think you’re sexy, big, and quite a man
I feel this, I swear
so much time gets lost on being correct
For a little love
(for sake of arguement)
talking to some guy about the rents
he lays down on his back and says:
“Have your way with me”
he lifts his head to say,
“Baby, you’ve got it made.”
Well it’s too little
too late
too little
too late…
it’s a hard pill to swallow

Made Up

When the ghosts arrive
is it any surprise?
You can’t stand on nothing
but you can try
so if you care enough
not to fuck it up
you know it takes a sucker
If you can be happy in a story
then you’re in luck
‘cause isn’t love
just something that we make up
Darkness and doom
are coming soon
it’s not a paid postion
but it’s opportune
so gather up the fates
lay them straight
beset with idle visions
We could’ve changed
the course of history
but we were stuck
‘cause isn’t love
just something that we make up
When the seasons change
it’s gonna be strange
you’re gonna find your face
rearranged
so when the fates agree
go with option D
it was driving me crazy
And I wasn’t happy in a story
so I got in the truck
‘cause isn’t love
just something that we make up

Sweetness

You better not forget all I’ve done for you
I’m gonna take it hard when you see through
It doesn’t mean it doesn’t mean a thing
you find it hard to find, I find you hard to take
Everything you do
is just for sweetness
Why don’t you tell me what it’s all about
If we’re playing games I’m gonna find out
You’ve got a whole life out there without me
What do you tell yourself about me
Everything you do
is just for sweetness
Honey, only a fool could pick and choose you
tell your Daddy he’s a fool to lose your love like that
Your highschool friends really took it out of me
and gave their respects to the academy
and laid to rest my anatomy
and each on said he wouldn’t lie to me
But we’re beyond the point of no return
Please don’t bring it up please don’t say a word
This has to be more than just a sugar high
My heart is racing I wish you were mine
Everything you do
is just for sweetness
He steps outta line to confuse you
tell your Daddy he’s a fool to lose your love like that
Not looking to buy just peruse you
and in platitudes reduce your love like that

Stay With Me
05:05
|

First you can’t love
then you can’t pretend
you know you really can’t live on
scraps again
you’re hitting your limit
‘cause there’s a price for you
Put it in the book
with your common friends
find the end of the thread
where your life begins
the image on image
did not suffice for you
We were driven from the past
where lovers are cryin’
it was written on their faces
like the passage of time
yeah
It’s kind of a two-sided problem
you have it once
you gotta get it again like
fucking around is one thing
but giving up the safety of your damage
you manage
but when you rake me over the coals like that
I’m like a bat
flying
over mountains
never thinking
‘bout the last time
We were driven from the past
where lovers are cryin’
it was written on their faces
like the passage of time
yeah
So what are you supposed to offer
the man who has everything
but momentary bliss
And when at last I found you
I put my little heart around you
you were blowing me a kiss
So go talk to payroll
you better put your money in a barrel
his princely heart went stale
when all the release became an appointment
I’ve got no merits
that don’t rely on carrots
held before the masters
where all the release became dissappointment
Go with me
stay with me
row with me
play with me
run with me
prey with me
choke with me

If it’s your first time
you might surprise yourself
with what you can do
heaven knows
is gonna find you out
And if it’s your first time
you might decide
that it’s not for you
honey
that make two of us
So what does that mean to this
the victor can’t lie anymore
what does that mean for us
you can’t afford to
lose yourself to
all the leather
surprise yourself
and scare your mother
explain yourself
to every other
your beginning to end
I know you’re some kind of
connisseiur
you’ve seen it all before
I’m sure there’s lots
you’ve got to tell me about
You may be surprised
to find that I’m a simple girl
with simple needs
I just don’t know
what all the talk is about
So what does that mean to this
the victor can’t lie anymore
what does that mean for us
In California
lose yourself to
all the leather
surprise yourself
and kill your mother
explain yourself
to every other
you’re beginning to end

Acting
03:10

there’s no answer there in the design
there’s no logic to it to define
when you step on my heart
i’m no one to deny
that it gets me there everytime
but there’s a part of you
made of tenderness
i have seen it for myself
so here you come
indecently
i was acting like
i was lost
without your love
tell me stuff
and run around
i was acting like
i was lost
without your love
i love it when i must gain your affection
telling myself
i was lost
without your love
so maybe it’s too soon to mention
but the pain’s ok
when im lost
in your loving arms
don’t wait
don’t delay
when you get enough take me away
that small part of you
made of tenderness
it just takes my panties down
slow
it’s that part of you
i could see it too
you don’t show nobody else
no
fire up the ekg man
i seen a ghost
i was lost
without your love
wire up the yyz man
aim for my head
i was lost without your love
i love it when i must win your affection
tell me again I was lost
without your love
maybe it’s to soon to mention
when you treat me like this
i was lost
without your love

Back On The Ground

Back on the ground
notable repartee don’t fail me now,
I’m in a state of economy
stick the land two seconds late
there were figments of your face
through churchill downs
and your silly voice drowning out these silly clowns
what was the story?
what is its value?
coming around to
a new sense of place
pack and leave town
don’t forget everything you love
don’t hang around
I was thought of as authority in my domain
I was skin-and-bones-happy as my heart palpitates
there’s no comedy, just a girl with big idee-ers
out in the palm trees, you’ll find me there
it was an illusion*
it was an illusion*
for a new sense of place
out in the palm trees
it was an illusion*
but hey,
what’s the difference, Daddy?

Weakness
02:40
|

I was stronger than the waters I was bred into
I was smarter than the martyrs and the passions too
and yet you let yourself in without meaning to
I got a weakness to you
no matter what you do
I belong to you
I do
i got a weakness to you
if you only knew
what you could really do
I do
I was planning positions everyday or two
I was kissing the pavement ‘cause it felt like you
I was working everybody who was asking to
I got a weakness to you
you can really do
what you want to do
it’s true
i got a weakness to you
i wonder, who asked you
to make me such a fool
I do
Every emotion
I’ve been through
Passionate patience
I was turning blue
I could really spend a long time waiting
for you to get a clue
I got a weakness to you
there’s nothing I can do
I belong to you
I do
Yeah my weakness is you
Baby you can do
whatever you want to
it’s true
You can throw me away
I’ll be begging you
You can wrap me in lace
And satin too
It’s like you don’t even care
Who you’re talking to
I got a weakness to you
No matter what you do
I belong to you
I do
