Ball & Chain 02:23
lyrics
I've been waiting for tomorrow all my life, living out your days with your finger on the blade of a knife, unceasingly searching through the junk for the holy grail, but it's all to no avail. I remember nothing and how it smelt like a rose, no one knows how it goes, drinking champagne from a plastic cup, don't you know your time is up, we saw you sleeping at the record hop. Everything is insane, everything is just the same, gotta escape this ball & chain.

New York City 02:07
lyrics
Meeting at night under the bridge I had nothing in my pocket but you had an itch, chain on your wrist, sparkle in your eye, and your deep dark mascara is making me cry. Take me down now. Sitting in central with nothing to do, but staring at the sky, dreaming of you, I read the letter that I got from you 50 times or maybe 52. I've got the blues in my blue suede shoes, your loving is salvation the city is my muse, take me down now, to NYC, where we bleed, new york city.

Dreaming With You 02:14
lyrics
You are everything And nothing less In our secret hideout Just you and me So run away with me We won't look behind We won't see anything, anyway, Not that we can see I lose my mind when I'm dreaming with you Who need's tomorrow? When i've got you babe. An unexplainable emotion I feel when your with me Under the moonlight Where everything feels right You're so beautiful One, two, three... Through the deep, dark valley You and me We've got everything And everything else So run away with me We won't look behind You're so beautiful One, two, three

Speeding Motorcycle (*) 02:33
lyrics
Speeding motorcycle, won't you change me? Speeding motorcycle, won't you change me? In a world of funny changes Speeding motorcycle, won't you change me? Speeding motorcycle of my heart Speeding motorcycle; always changing me Speeding motorcycle, don't you drive recklessly Speeding motorcycle of my heart Pretty girls have taken you for a ride Hurt you deep inside but you never slowed down Speeding motorcycle in my heart Speeding motorcycle, let's speed smart 'Cause we don't want to wreck but We can do a lot of tricks We don't have to break our necks To get our kicks Speeding motorcycle, the road is ours Speeding motorcycle, let's speed some more 'Cause we don't need reason and we don't need logic We've got feeling and we're dang proud of it Speeding motorcycle, there's nothing you can't do Speeding motorcycle, I love you Speeding motorcycle, let's just go Speeding motorcycle Let's go let's go let's go Oo oo

Tangerine 03:00
lyrics
She dissoluted, in my eye, the tears I cry Believe, that she was fooling, but we're apart, she broke my heart. We could have been, you know? We could've been, could've been.... I felt so nervous, when you weren't with me. But we, had something going, you had to take it, you had to break it We could've been, you know? We could've been, tangerine... We, we loved eachother, from the start, you broke my heart It felt like the sky was falling around us when I kissed your ruby lips, that night Alright... We could've been, you know? We could've been, tangerine, tangerine, tangerine, tangerine She dissoluted, in my eye, the tears I cry Believe, that she was fooling, but we're apart, she broke my heart. We could've have been, you know? We could have been tangerine... Kiss me, kiss me, baby tangerine...

Sunbeams 02:33
lyrics
The bittersweet sunbeams whack on the back of my neck, all my hopes and dreams gone up in a wreck, I think i'll just sit here, imagine what it could've been, not entirely clear the things I have seen. Pick up the pieces from down on the ground, i've lost my soul, i've lost my sound.

Bewitched (*) 03:11
lyrics
I see you hang in the crowd Staring me down With that ice cream cone Still I'm all alone You've got me caught Let go my heart Or give me a sign That you'll be mine I've got a crush on you I've got a crush on you You won't let me through I've got a crush on you I've got a crush on you What am I to do? I've got a crush on you I saw you flying your plane Driving me insane Hit me with a bone Still I'm all alone You're driving that car Saw his arm Saw that black as tar Must be your heart Chorus Pandora's box Has got a lock I'm gonna knock Gonna beat the clock I won't rest Until pandora's chest Has been upset Because I'm the one Chorus I can't relax Ol' mister scratch Is on my back Made a devil's pact Trade an old black cat For a witches brew Seven deadly sins And you Chorus Crush You Crush You Yeah, you.

Summer's Gone 02:11
lyrics
A summer wasting, memories fading, through a sea of sunny afternoons in my head A steep hill, rocky crags, a gravel path, leading us in different directions 2p coins on the coffee table, pitch and putt and a guitar cable. I think i'll just sit here instead Outlaw Johnny and space invaders, say it that way and i'll see you later (See you later, Johnny) Summer's gone, and we've got to move on Summer's gone, and we've got to move on Summer's gone, we've got to leave it all behind A summer wasting, memories drifting endlessly, through a sea of orange streetlit nights It isn't enough to have tasted the sunset, orange glow and all it's glory, gotta head back now it's getting dark. 16 years and all that jazz, two bridges with water that's deep as Crystal ginger and pass your exams, t-shirt tans and wash your hands and we've got too much time on our hands
