> O my Luve's like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June O my Luve's like the melodie That's sweetly play'd in tune As fair art thou, my bonnie lass So deep in luve am I And I will love thee still, my Dear Till a, the seas gang dry Till a the seas gang dry, my Dear And the rocks melt wi the sun I will love thee still, my Dear While the sands o life shall run And fare thee weel, my only Luve! And fare thee weel, a while! And I will come again, my Luve Tho it were ten thousand mile!

I'm in love with the Hawthorn
Sure I like the Birch I need a hand, a volunteer Why does the Sycamore mean so much? Do you dream of a cold Alaska? Better wrap up warm tonight All I know is we're in a blue time Where the land is snow drop white You were such a pretty one You had a kid Did you have any idea of the damage you did I'm in love with the Hawthorn Sure I like the Birch I need a hand, a volunteer Why does the Sycamore mean so much? Is this the day that loneliness takes a hold of me? I've been stupid, unkind but I'm not too blind too see |

How many times have you told me you wanna die?
How many times have you told me now that you've tried? Ooh and how many times will i let you get away with murder? Ooh and how many times will you make me feel more alive? Hey, I got a feeling there's something going wrong I put my thoughts in a letter, send it when I'm feeling strong In the time you became the girl that you wanted to be Oh I told you all along there was no point looking to me Oh, it's been hard to be strong All of this going on Yes, it's been hard to be strong With all this going on I've been lonely too, like you, I'm just like you.... I'm just like you..... People have been travelling miles just to hear us sing It's a February night & I don't wanna feel anything To get away, maybe I could sell kisses In Portland I tried my pretty hand at fishing Oh, it's been hard to be strong With all this going on Yes, it's been hard to be strong With all this going on I've been lonely too, like you, I'm just like you.... I'm just like you.... I'm just like you.... I'm just like you..... Hey, I got a feeling there's something going wrong I put my thoughts in a letter, send it when I'm feeling strong |

You can compliment me on the style of my hair
Give me marks out of ten for the clothes I wear You probably thought I had more upstairs I disappoint you, I can see through your perfect smile He likes to read books written for girls Prides himself on being a man of the world It?s in the darkest places he gets his thrills He will disappoint you, if you see through his perfect smile I think separation is ok You?re no star to guide me anyway You only wanted me to play the fool Play by your rule Now my door has swollen from the rain God knows we?ll never see her face again People get shattered in many ways They can disappoint you if you see through their perfect smiles I think separation is ok You?re no star to guide me anyway You only wanted me to play the fool Play by your rule |

Honey...
I've been really struggling To think of you and I being friends I blow hot and cold Yeah, I’m like a yo-yo So I don’t think I should see you again Careless love and I didn't talk for it wasn't my style I've had enough I don't think that we could really be friends And honey, I've been really struggling To think of you and I anonymous You're off to mourning so The love you give ebb and flows So I don't think I should see you again Careless love and I didn't talk for it wasn't my style I've had enough For I don't think that we can really be friends But I'll try again Oh, the love I feel for you it's real Oh, the love I feel for you it is real Honey, I've been really struggling to see this thing through To the end Careless love I didn't talk for it wasn't my style I've had enough For I don't think that we can really be friends But I'll try again |

Come back Margaret I'd like to explore you Can't you see the tears in my eyes? With the love for him I disguise I like the free days with no expectations I like it my way with no limitation Still you see the tears in my eyes With the love for him I despise Darling you will always be around Whether my mood's up or if it's down In dreams I try to take you far away But you never stay No you never stay No you never stay Darling you will always be around Whether my mood's up or if it's down In dreams I try to take you far away But you never stay No you never stay Darling you will always be around Whether my mood's up or if it's down In dreams I try to take you far away But you never stay No you never stay No you never stay |

Silver birch against a Swedish sky
The singer in the band made me want to cry We're all inside our own heads now We are leaving new friends, leaving this town And I wish you could be here with me I would show you off like a trophy The road it winds, it twists, it turns, oh my stomach burns Once again I'll be the foolish one Thinking a blink of these lashes would make you come Don't you worry, don't get in a state I don't believe in true love anyway Oh, who's being pessimistic now? I could document this as our first, as our last row The more you look forlorn, the more to you I warm I won't be seeing you for a long while I hope it's not as long as these country miles I feel lost I feel lost No, I won't be seeing you for a long while I hope it's not as long as these country miles I feel lost I feel lost |

Fed up of girls in pretty dresses
With boys who want to teach them a lesson Sick of the sight of my old lover Went under sheets and covers to get away from him He can't see what it once meant to me I think it's time I put him out of my mind So I took a glimpse of Montana Now nothing else matters I'll heal eventually How I adore you Dory Previn Turned you up to eleven for the band's ears to bleed I can't see what he once meant to me Do you think it's time I put it out of my mind? Do you think it's time I put it out of my mind? I can't see what he once meant to me Do you think it's time I put it out of my mind?

I can't see what he once meant to me Do you think it's time I put it out of my mind? I think it's time I let my love for him die |

Oh, don't say it's true I've been so afraid, I'm a sadness again And we kissed once, even that was the last I know I need more than given Moments and sentimental stories Words only spoken seemingly That I'm warming your heart that way Oh, it feels like none of this is real I'll pretend that my heart and my head are well But if the blood pumping through my veins could freeze, Like a river in Toronto, Then I'd bleed please, You said I made you feel warm, said I made you feel warm inside Oh, it feels like none of this is real I'll pretend that my heart and my head are well But if the blood pumping through my veins could freeze, Like a river in Toronto, Then I'd bleed please, You said I made you feel warm, said I made you feel warm inside It feels like none of this is real I'll pretend that my heart and my head are well But if the blood pumping through my veins could freeze, Like a river in Toronto, Then I'd bleed please, You said I made you feel warm, said I made you feel warm inside |

A half full moon in Mexico City I think of you
When I saw the Southern Cross I wished you had too I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones And honey in the sun for you I've been spending half the year In a plane going up and down You've been seeing other people from a nearby town Been obsessing and getting depressed about us Excess baggage and other stupid band stuff I wish my heart was cold But it's warmer than before I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones And honey in the sun for you When you said the veins in my left hand Were shaped like a tree Was that the very last time you really looked at me? I'm in training to become as cold as ice I'm determined to protect my feelings disguise When I said I didn't love you I told you a lie There no one above you although I try Would you laugh at the time I spent calling your name Over and over and over and over again? The trouble is I got me close to hating me When I wake up in the morning its your face I see Where you once made me feel less afraid You've got me pouring myself all over this page |

I can't believe that I'm writing this down
I can't believe I've got you in a song I don't want to be a whining girl I'd rather not be in your world I stole a magazine from a Laundromat The posters in the bag they were breaking my back All I wanted was a bench to rest my weary legs I sat and had a greet, I have done my best I'll get my operation on the N. H. S Will it cure my blushes will it bring out my best? Some will say I was a woman pretending to be a girl I will make no comment of this I've had my fill This can't go on When is it going to stop? You casually walked back to your room tonight Take the flight of stairs and softly dim the light Fantasize about how happy you'd be with a girl tonight I don't want to see you down I don't want to see you hanging around I don't want to see you down I don't want to see you hanging around |

I see her in the Dewy flowers I see her sweet and fair I hear her in the tunefula? birds I hear her charm the air There's not a bonnie flower, that springs By a fountain, shaw, or green There's not a bonnie bird that sings But minds me oh my Jean! |

They make me want to give up on love I'll brace myself for the loneliness Say hello to feelings that I detest This maudlin career has come to an end I don't want to be sad again This maudlin career has come to an end I don't want to be sad again This maudlin career has come to an end I don't want to be sad again This maudlin career has come to an end I don't want to be sad again |

I shut my mouth my ears I don't want to hear you please Now you're skipping school going to listen to records Wrapped up in mohair dissing your elders Dip a chocolate finger take a sip from my cup Remember what you're dad said "button your lip" You've got to toughen up for him He's the kind who will do you in I should know that it's no fun You will never be No. 1 No. 1 son God I've tried to help but I think I just hinder Ask a better girl could she ever be kinder Love unlike lightning can strike you twice I don't know much, but here's my advice You've got to toughen up for him He's the kind who will do you in I should know that it's no fun You will never be No. 1 No. 1 son |

Drinking whiskey reminds me of you
You're the first in ages to have gotten through I know you mean well, I know that you do But sooner or later you're going to break me in two Were my pupils dilated? Could you tell that I liked you? We were so unlikely You flirt with an ex, put me to the test Still I want to tell you that I love you the best We turned the radiators on and there was no way back Did you know You had The Plough star trail on your back? Your voice is quiet and I need it loud In the night you went up And the morning you went down It's like you to forbid me to say goodnight I had your brown eyes and limbs On me through the night These words are weak and to your dislike You'll never believe them so I guess it's alright Do you like the view I show you? I say look at the light Do you still miss the way that I hold you? In other towns and cities Who's holding you tonight? The dresses came out of the bag then the tears came Drinking has never been the same again I shared your trouble, I shared your weight I lost it with you today We don't share a birthday but we do share a sign We shared something or was it all in my mind There was talk of love and how I need it back I'd be better for you than that last love of mine You're in another town or city You mean nothing to me tonight |

Rose, I?m feeling older
I was as lucky as a four-leaved clover I tried to be happy it wasn?t easy When I choose my colour it will be Razzle Dazzle Rose Rose, I?m feeling older Courage my love it makes me bolder Expecting softness can lead to foolishness When I choose my colour it will be Razzle Dazzle rose |

Don't disturb my bed is what I should have said
When you kissed me my head started to sway I took your picture You bought me some literature Honey you make my day I don't want to take advantage or do you any damage I'm not sure I can manage to stay away We have been tender Don't return to send her The love that was coming your way I will defend you my friend I won't quietly walk away I don't want to take advantage or do you any damage I'm not sure I can manage to stay away Don't be downhearted by this thing we started I guess that's what I'm trying to say I will defend you my friend I won't quietly walk away |

I’ve never had a Roman holiday
But I won’t hold it against you The look on your face When she told you she loved you Was it priceless? Now it seems you’re well connected You have your own flock of sheep I don’t think they are lost and I don’t think They are discreet I light a scented candle in my room I’ll hold a good thought for you You were hopeful you said things would be ok But they’re doom and gloom If I were good at hating I’d hate you If I were good at loving I’d fall I’d keep the company of a kid obsessed And I’d tell them all I knew you well for a short spell I knew you well please don’t tell I’ve never had a Roman holiday But I won’t hold it against you The look on your face When she told you she loved you Was it priceless? I knew you well for a short spell I knew you well for a short spell I knew you well for a short spell I knew you well Please don’t tell |

You're such a beautiful writer
That's not all you are I'm sorry about making a pass It was subtle but I think that you grasped The meaning intended I can be a friend to you I won't pretend I'm not interested in breaking your heart It's not love no it's nothing like that I'll leave that to lookers like him Oh he's such a delicate thing Now it's such a fragile thing that we have I should be suspended from class I don't know my elbow from my arse I should be suspended from class We could go out dancing But, in truth it is the last thing that I have on my mind Please say if I'm way out of line I won't need telling twice Now he wants to kiss He says he can't resist You're going to have to keep it hidden inside I've a feeling that pigs might fly, might fly I should be suspended from class I don't know my elbow from my arse I should be suspended from class You're such a beautiful writer And that's not all you are I'm sorry about making a pass It was subtle but I think that you grasped The meaning intended I should be suspended from class I don't know my elbow from my arse I should be suspended from class I don't know my elbow from my arse |

There's flowers in my house
And I bought them myself No surprises in the record collection You must have thought I was someone else I'm still afraid to get lost In a city I might explore But I'm not afraid to have An eloquent boy at my door at my door at my door at my door Oh you want to be a writer Fantastic idea You say you've never seen America I really think you'll like it there Maybe you should travel with me Is this the best idea Because you've never seen a Redwood and you've never touched a deer a deer a deer dear a deer a deer my dear Are swans deceiving us all? Oh I for one should know I never felt myself so graceful And I never swam so slow so slow so slow so slow... |

Shedding tears for affairs
I'm a funny little thing I can tell you this for nothing Affairs don't win Can you handle one more dirty secret one more dirty night? Is it true what they say? Will it make us go blind? You had to drive Look me in the eye Whisper don't cry I'll take an interest in Illustration It should be a laugh Your words are with me still They whisper in the grass Shedding tears for affairs I'm a stupid little thing I can tell you this for nothing You won't win You had to drive (I didn't want to) Look me in the eye (I found it hard to) Whisper don't cry (I had to whisper don't cry) So I cried |

For your birthday she sent you a card
She didn't sign her name she gave an autograph Now she's trying to call your bluff She your true love? We knew the boy who went from Mod to Ted She asked matter of fact had he gone off his head He was uncomplaining as a tree Not a thing like me You're not a teenager So don't act like one Sure she is a heartbreaker Does she have one? Is it down to me, down to me? We both rarely speak I went for a stroll after dark I thought of you and her while staring at the black I didn't have you down for being easily led Or the girl well read You're not a teenager So don't act like one Sure she is a heartbreaker Does she have one? Is it down to me, down to me? We both rarely speak |

I once had a love but soon had enough
He was a false contender He got so thin there must have been deep sorrow gnawing away at him What will I do? Will it always be you? I hope and I pray he?ll leave me one day We were so sweet under the Copper Beach You left a mark you sunk your teeth Into the back of my neck, oh let?s not pretend I needed the lesson that you taught me well What will I do? Will it always be you? I hope and I pray he?ll leave me one day What will I do? Must it always be you? I hope and I pray he?ll leave me one day Leave me one day Leave me one day Leave me one day |

If you were a season you would be in bloom
I wish I had good reason to see you soon No need to convince me that you were a catch I bought my ticket and so at last Who was it that said that love conquers all? Oh, he was a fool 'cause it doesn't add up Should I believe you told a lie On the way to my heart and on the way back? Are my eyes the coldest blue? You said once this was true If it is I don't know what I'll do 'Cause I'm stuck with them and they're stuck on you Was I quite bad that nothing could never challenged anyone Or was I a lazy lazy snake? Do you want me to be a gentle diplomat? Oh, you can beg and you can plead Are my eyes the coldest blue? You said once this was true and if it is I don't know what I'll do 'Cause I'm stuck with them and they're stuck on you Are my eyes the coldest blue? You said once this was true If it is I don't know what I'll do 'Cause I'm stuck with them and you're stuck on you 'Cause I'm stuck with them and they're stuck on you I'm stuck with them and they're stuck on you I'm stuck with them and they're stuck on you |

My friend she told me such a story but she didn't know what I knew
I laughed with my friend when she got to the end I knew we were laughing at you She told me that you made some money and you got yourself frames on the wall People come by and they look at your face And they say it's the fairest of all Of course you protest That's what you do best You're modest and shy to the end You're watching them as they're looking at you And you know it was money well spent She told me you'd given up drinking to be with somebody you knew And you tried to get into the bible But it never got into you You've still got some loyal disciples I suppose that I'm one of the few I shouldn't have laughed Cause I mean you no harm But my friend got to me before you And next time I see you I'll be pleased to see you I hope you'll be pleased to see me I'll visit your picture I won't have the nerve To tell them that they've got you all wrong |
