Staring at the Paperfaces,
Expressions like empty pages,
Day after day.

Waiting for the lights to change now,
Reaching for a cloud to come down,
And cover me.

Can't shut you out, Can't get you out,
Can't take you down, Can't watch you drown.

Waiting for the world to change now,
Dissolution takes a bite out,
And swallows me.

Looking for a way to get out,
Wishing that the rush would come down,
And smother me.

Can't shut you out, Can't get you out,
Can't take you down, Can't watch you drown.

If you can learn to be yourself, then that's okay,
If you can find a reason now, don't drift away.

Walking down streets to nowhere,
Stepping on feet with no cares,
Losing myself.

Can't shut you out, Can't get you out,
Can't take you down, Can't watch you drown.
Can't shut you out, Can't get you out,
Can't take you down, Can't watch you drown.

Paperfaces (Feeder cover)

I never knew her before,
Until the day that I saw her there.
I was struck down by her beauty,
Blue eyes and long brown hair.

She walked around with amazing grace,
Flicked her hair away from her face.

I just stood there, no-one home,
This girl she had me in a trance.
I should have got to know her better,
But I didn’t think I’d have a chance.

She was everything that you could ask for,
Everything and a whole lot more.

I've never seen such beauty,
I've never seen anyone so worthwhile.
A shine of jewels came from her,
When she gave me a pinball smile.

Then it was too late, she was gone,
Another opportunity missed.
Though in my dreams I’ve lost count of
Exactly how many times we’ve kissed.

But that’s all that they are, they're just that - dreams,
I blew my chance and fell apart at the seams.

I've never seen such beauty,
I've never seen anyone so worthwhile.
A shine of jewels came from her,
When she gave me her pinball smile.

A pinball smile that lit up the room,
A pinball smile that made my heart go BOOM.
Why didn’t I speak to her before she left through the door?
A pinball smile, I’d forever search for...

Now, twelve months on since that day,
I saw you walking and on your ‘phone.
You let me in to read your mind,
But you’ve moved on and I’m still alone.

Pain, hurting, torment that I carry around,
They tie my hands together and keep them bound.

I guess I’ve learned, that no matter how tough,
Gotta take your chances when you’re a loser with love.

Pinball Smile

I'm on my time with everyone,
I have very bad posture.

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea,
Distill the life that's inside of me.
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea,
I'm anaemic royalty.

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld,
So I can sigh eternally.

I'm so tired I can't sleep,
I'm anaemic royalty.
I'm a liar and a thief,
I'm anaemic royalty.

Lemon, warm milk and laxatives,
Cherry flavored antacids.

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea,
Distill the life that's inside of me.
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea,
I'm anaemic royalty.

Pennyroyal Tea (Nirvana cover)

I'll shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you,
I'm still alright to smile,
Girl, I think about you every day now.

There was a time when I wasn't sure,
But you set my mind at ease,
There is no doubt you're in my heart now.

Said woman, take it slow and it'll work itself out fine,
All we need is just a little patience.
Said sugar, make it slow and we'll come together fine,
All we need is just a little patience.

I sit here on the stairs,
'Cause I'd rather be alone,
If I can't have you right now,
Then I'll wait here.

Sometimes I get so tense,
But I can't speed up the time,
But you know love, there's one more thing to consider.

Said woman, take it slow and things will be just fine,
You and I'll just lose a little patience.
Said sugar, take the time, 'cause the lights are shining bright,
You and I've got what it takes to make it.

We won't fake it,
Oh, I'll never break it,
Cause I couldn't take it.

Just a little patience, yeah (repeated)

I've been walking the streets at night,
Just trying to get it right,
But it's hard to see with so many around,
And you know I don't like being stuck in a crowd.
And the streets don't change but maybe the names,
I ain't got time for the game,
'Cause I need you, yeah, yeah, I need you.

Oh, I need you,
Oh, I need you, this time.

Patience (Guns 'n Roses cover)

Because you're sweet and lovely girl, I love you,
Because you're sweet and lovely girl, it's true.
I love you more than ever girl, I do.

I want you in the morning girl, I love you,
I want you at the moment I feel blue.
I'm living every moment girl for you.

I loved you from the moment I saw you,
You looked at me, that's all you had to do.
I feel it now, I hope you feel it too.

Because you're sweet and lovely girl, I love you (yes, I do),
Because you're sweet and lovely girl, it's true.
I love you more than ever girl, I do.

For You Blue  (The Beatles cover)

Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
But the very next day, you gave it away. 
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
But the very next day, you gave it away. 
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special.

Once bitten, but twice shy,
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye.  
Tell me baby, do you recognise me?    
It's been a year, it doesn't surprise me...

"Happy Christmas", I wrapped it up and sent it,
With a note saying "I love you" and I meant it.
Now I know what a fool I've been,
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
But the very next day, you gave it away. 
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
But the very next day, you gave it away. 
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special.

Last Christmas (James Dean Bradfield cover version)

When I feel lonely as I do,
I close my eyes and think of you.
Your arms around me to help the pain,
No one else could make me feel the same.

When I get lost or even scared,
I look for you and you are there.
The feel of you against my skin, 
You turn my loss into a win.

In times of darkness, she is there,
With Cupid's bow lip and long brown hair.
She picks me up from off the floor,
(and whispers) "It doesn't matter, anymore."

When I can take no more inside,
You're always there to make things right.
You make sure I eat today,
And show me love in every way.

In times of darkness, she is there,
With Cupid's bow lip and long brown hair.
She picks me up from off the floor,
(and whispers) "It doesn't matter, anymore."

In times of darkness, she is there,
With Cupid's bow lip and long brown hair.
She picks me up from off the floor,
(and whispers) "It doesn't matter, anymore."

In times of darkness, she is there,
With Cupid's bow lip and long brown hair.
She picks me up from off the floor,
(and whispers) "It doesn't matter, anymore."

"It doesn't matter, anymore"
"It doesn't matter, anymore"

I can’t sing, I can’t play and I look awful... so I should go along way right?!

A unique singer/guitarist/songwriter.  Unique in the sense of I can neither particularly sing, play the guitar, nor write songs.
