Certain People I Know
[Verse 1] I take the cue from certain people I know I use the cue and then I hand it on to you
And when I swing it so it catches his eye Weren't you there, you'd have died
I trust the views of certain people I know They look at danger and they laugh their heads off
[Bridge] Their clothes are an imitation George XXIII Don't you find this absurd
[Verse 2] I'd hate to be like certain people I know They break their necks and can't afford to get them fixed
They'd sacrifice all of their principles for Anything cashable I do believe it's terrible Oh-woah-woah Oh-woah-woah Oh-woah-woah

November Spawned a Monster
[Verse 1] Sleep on and dream of love Because it's the closest you will get to love, oh Poor, twisted child, so ugly, so ugly Poor, twisted child, oh hug me, oh hug me
[Chorus] One November spawned a monster In the shape of this child, who later cried "But Jesus made me, so Jesus save me From pity, sympathy, and people discussing me A frame of useless limbs what can make good All the bad that's been done "
[Verse 2] And if the lights were out Could you even bear to kiss her full on the mouth or anywhere? Oh Poor, twisted child, so ugly, so ugly Poor, twisted child, oh hug me, oh hug me
[Chorus] One November spawned a monster In the shape of this child who must remain A hostage to kindness and the wheels underneath her A hostage to kindness and the wheels underneath her A symbol of where mad, mad lovers must pause and draw the line
[Bridge] So sleep and dream of love Because it's the closest you will get to love, oh
[Outro] That November is a time which I must put out of my mind Oh, one fine day, let it be soon She won't be rich or beautiful But she'll be walking your streets In the clothes that she went out and chose for herself

Seasick, Yet Still Docked
I am a poor freezingly cold soul So far from where I intended to go
Scavenging through life's very constant lulls So far from where I'm determined to go
Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love There is no way
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love But you see, I've got no charm
Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold Oh, this is very clear to you
And you can tell I have never really loved You can tell by the way I sleep all day
And all of my life no one gave me anything No one has ever given me anything
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye You must be such a fool to pass me by

The Loop
I just wanna say I haven't been away I'm still right here Where I always was So one day, if you're bored By all means, call me Because you can do But only if you want to
I just wanna say I haven't been away I am still right here Where I always was So one day, when you're bored By all means, call me Because you can do But you might not get through

Sister I'm a Poet
All over this town Yes a low wind may blow And I can see through everybodys clothes With no reason to hide these words I feel And no reason to talk about the books I read but still I do
That's 'cause I'm a Sister, I'm a All over this town
Along this way outside the prison gates I love the romance of crime and I wonder Does anybody feel the same way I do And is evil just something you are Or something you do
Sister, I'm a Sister, I'm a All over this town
All over this town they pull over In their Citroen vans not to shake your hand With Meths on their breaths And you with youth on your side A plastic bag stranded at the light This once was me
But now I'm a Sister, I'm a All over this town

Such a Little Thing Makes Such a Big Difference
[Verse 1] Such a little thing Such a little thing But the difference it made was grave There you go Wielding a bicycle chain Oh, why won't you change Change and be nice, oh...
[Verse 2] Such a little thing A gentle tone of kindness Or written words on paper - can you write How I love all of The very simple things of life God's good air How I love all of The very simple things of life
[Verse 3] Such a little thing A fumbling politeness, oh... Oh, the difference saved me Wielding a bicycle chain Why won't you change "I will not change And I will not be nice"
