It Never
Happened
i got a brain and an urge to squander
it
a little self-disgrace
so hide your head pull the duvet over
it
the world’s a scary
place
here she comes
and she’ll follow a new
direction
into the sun
she comes
and she’ll follow a new
direction
into the sun
it’s not the day but the way you look
at it
it’s starin’ in your
face
it’s not the place but the way you took
to it
you kicked me in my face
here she comes
and she’ll follow a new
direction
into the sun
she comes
and she’ll follow a new
direction
into the sun
into the sun
into the sun
into the sun
here she comes
and she’ll follow a new
direction
into the sun
she comes
and she’ll follow a new
direction
into the sun
she comes
and she’ll follow a new
direction
into the sun
she comes
and she’ll follow a new direction
into the sun
she comes
and she’ll follow a new
direction
into the sun
she comes
she comes

(tick tock)
in my tiny world
(tick tock)
full of tiny dreams
(tick tock)
i see their plastic smiles
(tick tock)
and i know what they mean
(tick tock)
mr. brown sit still
(tick tock)
for the 8.15
(tick tock)
i know you think i’m
crazy
(tick tock)
but i’m happy
i’m feelin’ fine
i’m feelin’ fine
i can see them bending on my
knees
(through the woods, past the church, to the
village green)

every day’s the same
it goes on and on (tick)
bridges stand, shops close
and birds sing their song
(tick)
mr. smith and suzy
look a little fake (tick)
i know they’ll both be
happy
with a lick of paint
i’m feelin’ fine

i can see them bending on my
knees

if i knew why

if i knew why
i look around me and all that i see
are the people rushing to their
knees
i stand here quiet and i think to
myself
don’t believe it, believe in something
else
it could be wrong for you
i’m not sayin’ that i
knew
in the nursery down on Anderson
Road
there lies a flower with your name on the
note
don’t get me wrong that opinions can
change
i’ll take a chance when i come back
again
and now i’m leaving in time for a
change
and nothing’s different, just another
day
and once i’m settled and i’m true
to myself
for a reason that i just can’t
guess
it could be wrong for you
i’m not sayin’ that i
knew
distance can be a peculiar
choice
far from your home but still close to your
voice
i will be sending my thoughts on to
you
this is the end of that something i
knew
i look around me and all that i see
are the people rushing to their
knees
i stand here quiet and i think to
myself
don’t believe it, believe in something
else
i’m not sayin’ that i
knew
in the nursery down on Anderson
Road
there lies a flower with your name on the
note
don’t get me wrong that opinions can
change
i’ll take a chance when i come back
again
new perfume, new shampoo
it’s a right choice for me and
you
keeps my hair clean
shame about my mind
she’s got this
turn-of-phrase
and it cuts me in different
ways
on the plastic handle
my girl sings
yes it’s hard to feel
inspired
with the gray sky in your
eyes
but be sure it won’t be
long
so i need you to be strong
crying boy
crying boy
that smile won’t fix
itself
so you hit town and take some
steps
wonder why you ever had a
frown
can’t stand that lo-fi
scene
oh so patient monarchy
makes me feel what i got
i don’t deserve
but it’s hard to feel
inspired
with the gray sky in your
eyes
but be sure it won’t be
long
so i need you to be strong
crying boy
crying boy
but it’s hard to feel
inspired
with the gray sky in your
eyes
but be sure it won’t be
long
so i need you to be strong
yes it’s hard to feel
inspired
with the gray sky in your
eyes
but be sure it won’t be
long
so i need you to be strong
crying boy

alas (x14)
hey what was it made your cold heart wander
away?
i tend to think it’s just the sky
you’re under of gray
so what do you think it promises tomorrow
away?
cos people cry in the sunshine from their
sorrow today
(alas [x14])
tomorrow today (x3)
the grass looks so green from this side of
Tuesday in (?)
December came and blew my hopes and flowers
away
so what do you think it promises tomorrow
away?
cos people cry in the sunshine from their
sorrow today
(alas [x14])
tomorrow today (x3)

all that i hoped for and all i
believed
died on the doorstep and left in the
breeze
i could’ve helped you but you didn’t
need
the love of a user to make your heart
bleed
and i play dead
just cos i’m lonely
i play dead
just cos i’m lonely
my baby’s got eyes for someone
new
my baby’s got eyes for someone
new
my baby’s got eyes for
you
nothing can change but the place that you
are
not even a cloud or the light from a
star
there isn’t a use and there can’t
be a way
i swallow a tear as you push me
away
and i play dead
just cos i’m lonely
i play dead

all that i hoped for and all i
believed

slack?

tracks
i’m not sad about you

you
so much happier in bed

break
a guilty pleasure she does
seek
my feelings dying in her
reach

leaves are fallin’
surrendering the summer to the
morning
the wind and rain ain’t got no place
to go
they follow me i know
on the same day
i missed you more each moment as the day
breaks
i’ll get no sleep tomorrow or
tonite
it hurts to close my eyes
call me plain
call me simple
i am just one name
and a thousand of the same
me plain
call me simple
i am just one name
keep your head down
and through this self-obsession you will be
found
wanting all the things you shouldn’t
know
how sad they leave me cold

surrendering the summer to the
morning

person

navigation by the stars
levitation
or you’ll maybe steal a
car
paragliding
ride a bike
digging tunnels
do it any way you like
yeah any way you like
if you want we can get
together
if you want we can get
together
if you want we can get
together
and be there
if we crash in the flight
just remember
on the floor there’s little
lights
that will guide you
to the door
to the sea
and then finally to the
shore
now who could ask for
more?
if you want we can get
together
if you want we can get
together
if you want we can get
together
and be there
catch a boat
catch a train
you can walk
it might kill you all the
same
paragliding
vapourize
vapour rising
and come floating down my
heartgrief
and crawling through my
war
if you want we can get
together
if you want we can get
together
if you want we can get
together
(and be there)
if you want we can get
together
(and be there)
if you want we can get

(and be there)
it’s getting early in the morning and
your breath stinks
from the night before
you look dirty and your clothes smell like
a dustbin
i could even ask for more
i love the way you wear your glasses above
your head
i love the way you see true colours i see
red
i know what you’re
thinking
i know what you’re
thinking
i know what you’re
thinking
and it’s wrong
i love the way you walk behind me down the
street
although i never see you but i can smell your
feet
i hate the way you inch around me when
you’re not sure
so don’t even ask because i don’t
even know
i know what you’re
thinking
i know what you’re
thinking
i know what you’re
thinking
and it’s wrong
(i know what you’re
thinking)
and it’s wrong
(i know what you’re
thinking)
and it’s wrong
(i know what you’re
thinking)
and it’s wrong
(i know what you’re
thinking)
wait a minute, what’s this, i’m
starting to look like you
i’m feelin’ pretty shakey and thinking
it’s not cool
i said i’d see you down that road in
a hundred years
it didn’t take as long as that because
now i’m here
i know what you’re
thinking
i know what you’re
thinking
i know what you’re
thinking
headaches and early
morning
boy on the phone
said take me back or ever
after
you’ll be alone
come home
your loneliness must show
now
drawing the vicious circle
into your mind
cos she can be anybody
all of the time
come home
your loneliness must show
now
all that love that i
had taken for granted
i nearly demanded it
as i passed you on my way
bedtime and night is
falling
down on my throat
i listen to the sound of
broken
(?) that wrote
we roam
they never let it show no
all that love that i
had taken for granted
i nearly demanded it
as i passed you on my way
back when your face was
younger
i had my fun
now it tells a tale with lines all
over
i need to run
before
the love loss starts to show
now
all that love that i
had taken for granted
i nearly demanded it
as i passed you
i nearly demanded it
as i passed you
i nearly demanded it
as i passed you on my way
the show’s about to go
on
the lights are dim and the curtain’s
drawn
i left you on your own
i just went off for a
coca-cola
but don’t be scared because it’s
just not real
i love the horror movies
monsters and ghouls are just so
groovy
give me a knife or
give me a chainsaw
watch it again have a nervous
breakdown
you walked on home alone
i thought i saw you with the
wolfman
i saw a creepy car
drivin’ around with the windows
down
i took a look inside
but all i saw was a bunch of
zombies
i love the horror movies
monsters and ghouls are just so
groovy
give me a knife or
give me a chainsaw
watch it again have a nervous
breakdown
i love (x8)
i left you on your own
but don’t be scared because it’s

a nervous breakdown
(i love the horror movies)
a nervous breakdown
(monsters and ghouls are just so
groovy)
(give me a knife or give me a
chainsaw)
(watch it again have a nervous
breakdown)
it seems my best ain’t good
enough
well it ain’t gonna get
better
i’ll bite my tongue i’ve said
enough
it only brings me pressure
i spit out my words to the
atmosphere
and the carpet hears me loud and
clear
and we’ll drive away
from the ghosts in our
heads
from pillar to post and town to
coast
i thought this place was
bigger
weeks go by from day to
night
i’m sleepin’ in my
sweater
i spit out my words to the
atmosphere
to the howling dog and the guy with a
beer
and we’ll drive away
from the ghosts in our
heads
we’ll drive away
we’ll drive away
we’ll drive away
we’ll drive away
from the ghosts in our
heads
