Hard To Think of Leaving

My Man's A Machine (Belmont Mix)

Autumn leaves are falling all around
and soon the winter frost will chill the ground
I'm frightened when you talk of letting go
Somewhere inside, someone I used to know

Time is going faster than the eye can see
you turn around one day and then you're old
your eyes tell me you don't know who I am today
I wanna stop the film, put life on hold
you're in the fall

You take me back to 1965
I'm in your kitchen feelin so alive
love flow thru me crystal clear and pure
where is it now, in this stony moor?

Time is going faster than the eye can see
you turn around one day and then you're old
your eyes tell me you don't know who I am today
I wanna stop the film, put life on hold
you're in the fall

You look at me as if you wanna say
swear you won't remember me this way
the sun bursts into view, the clouds disperse
then beeping sounds, a tone, a frantic nurse

Time is going faster than the eye can see
you turn around one day and then you're old
your eyes tell me you don't know who I am today
I wanna stop the film, put life on hold
you're in the fall

you're in the fall
you're in the fall

In The Fall

Gum On The Shoe of the World (For Iryna) (Unplugged)

baby baby baby you've been giving me hell
and thats why sometimes i just have to yell:
Hell's Belle!
Oh babe you're the belle from hell

she was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
you were working as a server in a cafeteria
i leaned across the counter and i asked you out
my friends made brutal fun of me - dude what's that all about

when i came to your parents house to pick you up
you had to beg your dad for 20 bucks to fill your cup
without a word he threw 20 singles on the floor
it was all that i could do to get us both out the door

a few dates later, you whine "you're too old"
you're 19, I'm 23, has your brain gone cold?
Then for no clear reason you move to the UK
I visit you there, i lose my luggage on the way

baby baby baby you've been giving me hell (givin me hell)
and thats why sometimes i just have to yell:
Hell's Belle!
Oh babe you're the belle from hell

the UK didn't work out, now you move out west
I visit you there cuz - I'm just the best
waitin at the bar for your shift to end
unaware the bartender is your special friend

you make me take you to a vegan place, it really stinks
then you tell me you fuck the dude just served me drinks

baby baby baby you've been giving me hell (givin me hell)
and thats why sometimes i just have to yell:
Hell's Belle!
Oh babe you're the belle from hell

baby baby baby you've been giving me hell (givin me hell)
and thats why sometimes i just have to yell:
Hell's Belle!
Oh babe you're the belle from hell

A few years later and you phone me up
say you're livin in the city in a Brooklyn walkup
you whine about the latest guy who shacks up with you
too unstable to get through a job interview

I pity you as I sit watching you on your bed
sorry darling: I'm engaged to be wed
you dug yourself a hole, and I can't get you out
but thanks for years of misery, embarrassment and doubt

Sure you were pretty back in the day.
But some things are more important than a lovely face.
I gave you all I had and woulda done so much more;
My reward you telling me I made you feel like a whore?

baby baby baby you been giving me hell (givin me hell)
and thats why sometimes i just have to yell:
Hell's Belle!
Oh babe you're the belle from hell

baby you're the belle from hell (from hell)
baby you're the belle from hell (bell from hell)
baby you're the belle from hell (hell's bell)
baby you're the belle from hell

Hell's Bell
