She'll Steal your Soul
03:02

Shutter blinks, I cannot think
Forget my own name
Eye to eye, I can’t remember why I even came
I’ll steal your soul
Clicking photos of four English hobos across the lane
A photo still on a window sill
A small heart’s been claimed
He’ll steal your soul
O my soul, I feel so low
Burn the negative in my soul
O my soul
In the blink of an eye
A bird meets a guy
and brings him home
Won’t you bring me home
Steal your soul
O my soul

Death and Taxes

I promise you death and taxes
I don’t know what the math is
I just know my love grows deeper each and every day
Get your ass on the mattress
I’ll turn on the Johnny Mathis
And I’ll let the dogs outside to play
Yes, I’ve checked the fence gate
Let the neighbors get irate
They can’t expect us to be ever vigilant
Here’s some cake for the masses
Open the door and the latches
It’s about time we let them have their way
Make it slow as molasses
Don’t need 100-yard dashes
This is where I’d like to stay
You just bat your eyelashes and purr like soprano saxes
Is this the end or beginning?
Will it take me back to where I began?
Turn back the clock
Take off your glasses
Put down your Redbook, throw down the Weekly
This is where I’d like to stay
I promise you death and taxes
I just don’t know what the math is
I just know my love grows each and every day
Make it slow as molasses
Slow as molasses

Honey, I am smitten with you
Can’t help but stare at your eyes
Wanna start something with you
It’s time you realize
I don’t have to say goodbye
If you ask me, I’ll stay the night
There’s a something in your smile
Is this forever or a fortnight?
Honey, I’m smitten with you
Can’t help but stare at your eyes
Wanna play sex kitten with you
Wanna be the jeans ‘round your thighs
You’re my favorite periodical
Your contents be so melodical
We could be a cap and a pen
You wanna start, just say when
It’s time everyone knows
That you’re meant to be with me
From here everything flows
What I don’t take, you give to me
Honey, I’m smitten with you
Can’t help but stare at your eyes
Who’d a thought I’d found you
It’s nothing if not a surprise
Wanna start something with you
It’s time we realize.

He Thinks He's Perfect
03:26

How do you tell the sun when to shine?
How do you tell the day that it’s out of time?
I know my place in this world just in front of you
You can take my place but take my warning too
he thinks he’s perfect
he thinks he’s perfect
And I think, he thinks
(I think) he’s perfect too
How do you tell the bluebird she’s out of tune?
How do you tell the tide it’s come back too soon?
Maybe he's made for a world just beyond the moon
Maybe time will reveal this crush is nothing new
he thinks he’s perfect
And I think, he thinks
(I think) he’s perfect too
Maybe he's made for a world just beyond the moon
Maybe time will reveal this crush is nothing new
I think, he thinks, I think, he thinks
He’s perfect too

Two thousand one hundred ninety-two
days I have been married to you
and I want for this to continue another 2,192
no, I’m not counting the shingles on the roof
I’m not listing the ways I can be aloof
Divide by 360 and add the square root
And that’ll get you close to 2-1-9-2
Add some laughter, some dog fur and some tears
Don’t forget to bring the Kintyre years
Now you’ve got a decade, a past to unwind
A string of pearls on a golden ball of twine
two thousand one hundred and ninety-two
days I have been married to you
and I want for this to continue another 2,192
two thousand one hundred and ninety-two
days I have been married to you
and I want for this to continue another 2,192
2-1-9-2. The best to continue.

Me and My Beatles

Four boys walk into a cave
You know it feels like we’ve been here for days
I can’t make the clouds avoid gravity
And this Spanish leather, it don’t come cheap.
Remember that the first love is the best
Remember to love until there’s nothing left
Leave me to my beatles and me
oh god, they won’t let us be
Four boys walk into a bar
Who thought we would get very far?
Remember that the first love is the best
Remember to love until there’s nothing left
Leave me to my beatles and me
oh god, they won’t let us be

Two Virgins
03:54
|

|
Here we started as two virgins
it was too good to last
Things went wrong, things went wrong
If you've ever seen two virgins
You can't look away
Before too long, love goes wrong
Why’d we do what we did?
We didn’t want to be kids
So we took some pictures. That’s what we did.
Two virgins, we both knew how to fly
Sometimes in clouds, sometimes in blue sky
I was making plans. You were making maps.
I was making plans. We were making maps.
Why’d we do what we did?
We didn’t want to be kids
So we took some pictures. That’s what we did.
Mixed-up kids, just some mixed-up kids
But it went too fast. It went too fast.

Would you believe we didn’t have money?
Would you believe we lived in the country?
Would you believe i started a new band?
Would you believe i loaded my own van,
Having kids and starting a farm?
And I flew on the wings of an angel
I wouldn’t have thought of in any love song
And I’m coming through it fine now
The weight you’ll find beyond me now
I can carry it with you
Can you carry it too?
Would you believe we started a new band?
Would you believe i loaded my own van?
We were right back at the start
And I flew on the wings of an angel
I wouldn’t have thought of in any love song
And I’m coming through it fine now
The weight you’ll find beyond me now
I can carry it with you
Can you carry it too?

Unfortunately, I Do
05:48
|

|
Do I carry a torch in the daylight?
Do I need another hole in my head?
Do I hear the tree falling in the forest?
Do I know if the tree’s any worse off dead?
Can I keep this up for any longer?
Must I find a way to live alone?
Do I look at the sky and see your blue eyes?
Do I look at those eyes and see a home?
I do. Unfortunately I do.
Do I make a ripple on the water?
Do I make a shadow on the wall?
Do I make a reflection on the mirror?
Do I make a mark only if I fall?
I do. Unfortunately I do.
Do I write a song for you each morning?
Put your name in everything I write?
Never want to spend a day without you
Never miss a chance to kiss and hold you tight
You ask if we would be a memory
I said we will, will have love eternally
Now we have love for all eternity
We have love.
