My girl
My girl's mad at me
I didn't wanna see the film tonight
I found it hard to say
She thought I'd had enough of her
Why can't she see
She's lovely to me ?
But I like to stay in
And watch t.v. on my own
Every now and then

My girl's mad at me
Been on the telephone for an hour
We hardly said a word
I tried and tried but I could not be heard
Why cant I explain ?
Why do I feel this pain ?
cause everything I say
She doesn't understand
She doesn't realise
She takes it all the wrong way

My girl's mad at me
We argued just the other night
I thought wed got it straight
We talked and talked until it was light
I thought wed agreed
I thought wed talked it out
Now when I try to speak
She says that I don't care
She says I'm unaware
And now she says I'm weak

Stepping Into Line
I didnt want to,
Leave you behind,
But your clothes werent stepping,
Into line.

Too much self pity,
Not enough nitty griity
And just when you were looking pretty
Pretty boring, pretty drab, out of date, colors bad,

You should know it stays the same.
No individuals things ever change.

But oif its new, its in the past.
Everything goes by so fast.
Upstaged by the supporting cast.

Dont ask the girlfreind to throw it away,
It'll be in fashion by next Friday,
Hoping our clothes have something say

Take It Away!
haha...

The in vogue clock goes spinning round
Space age fasion lifts off the ground

Just accept the new faith
Try and look common place
Instead of looking out of place

But cant you see I'm staying still, that rich little bastards made me Ill, Ill, ILL!

In the rain
There is such confusion in my mind
To play your illusion is so unkind
I didn't know who you were this afternoon
You said that it didn't matter and I'll see you soon

Standing here in the rain
Maybe the weather will change again
Change again or stay the bleeding same

How I met you in the first place, I'll never know
But now I think I know you, you're telling me to go
You said you'd be back, told me to wait here just in case
But then you never arrived and I'm waiting outside your place

Standing here in the rain
Maybe the weather will change again
Change again or stay the bleeding same

There is such confusion in my mind
To play your illusion is so unkind
I didn't know who you were this afternoon
You said, "That doesn't matter, I'll see you soon"

Standing here in the rain
Maybe the weather will change again
Change again or stay the bleeding same
Shame
